Happy October Faro!!
A few reminders from the Mounties as we head into the fall:
It’s Halloween time again. Let’s take a few extra steps to make sure our Halloween is
as fun and safe as possible. Please replace those burnt out lights outside your houses.
A little extra light goes a long way when trying to keep your property and guests safe
as they approach your house. If your driving on Halloween night remember to watch
for very excited little ones darting out from behind cars and other obstructions.
Parents take a few minutes to establish a plan with your young “trick or treaters”...
“Where are they going?” “Who will they be with?” and “When will they be home?”
should just about cover it. Also be sure your young ones know where to go along their
route if they need help for any reason.
Have a fun and safe Halloween!!! See you out there.
It’s time for snow tires! Traditionally the first snow storm of the year is the busiest
time for fender benders and car accidents. Let’s try to get by this year without any
regrets about not getting the snow tires on in time for that first surprise snow storm.
With the cold weather sometimes we make poor decisions about driving when maybe
we shouldn’t. If your planning to be out and have a few drinks be sure to make
arrangements for a drive or enjoy a brisk walk in the Yukon weather. The Yukon
government has identified enforcement of impaired operation laws as a priority in our
Territory. It would be a great winter for all of us if the Faro RCMP could report
impaired driving is not a problem in Faro. Most importantly, our roads and trails will be
safer for all of us to enjoy.
Prepare for the cold weather by equipping your vehicle prior to making the trip to
Whitehorse. Dress for the cold and be prepared for anything. After packing warm
clothes, a sleeping bag and survival items the most important thing you can do is to
plan to call someone when you arrive at your destination. Remember there is no cell
phone service out there. If you don’t have a satellite phone a check in plan could save
you a long wait for help on the highway.
Enjoy the fall!!!
To contact Faro RCMP in an emergency, call 994-5555 or 1-867-667-5555. These calls will be answered by Whitehorse OCC who will
have officers respond to the call. For general inquiries in the community, call 994-2677. If there is no answer, please phone 994-5555
and an officer will be contacted.
Faro Detachment would like to remind members of the community about our Emergency Phone located at the front entrance to the
Detachment. This phone line is connected directly to Whitehorse RCMP dispatch. The caller only has to hold the phone to their ear and
someone from Whitehorse Dispatch will answer. This will ensure a quicker response from Faro RCMP members.

Home Care Program
Health and Social Services
The Faro Branch of the Yukon Home
Care Program provides health services
to individuals who cannot easily access
health care in the community, or who
need assistance in performing daily
activities. The program aims to improve
peoples quality of life and supports
them to live independently in their own
homes.
Eligibility
To be eligible for services offered by
the Yukon Home Care Program, a
person must have a valid Yukon Health
Care Insurance number.
Types of Service
The Yukon Home Care Program
provides long term, acute, palliative and
respite care to Yukoners of all ages.
Referral Process
You may refer yourself to the Yukon
Home Care Program or have
someone call on your behalf. Please
call
Brittany Weber @
867-332-1146
You may also speak with the Health
Center staff to pass a referral on.
LOCAL Services
Friendship Feasts is a made in Faro program, it is not affiliated with Social Services, the Faro
Health Centre, or any government program. If you are able to make a meal for a family once in
a while, please get yourself on the Friendship Feast list. You may get called once in 6 months.
To receive meals, you just need to nominate yourself or someone who you know needs meals.
Generally, Friendship Feasts provides meals when there has been a death or other hardship in
the family, when someone is recovering from an operation or sickness, or when a family brings
home a new baby. Getting involved in Friendship Feasts is a great way to get involved in our
community and to meet people in town in a meaningful way.
If you are not on the list, please call KARA WENT at 994-3114 to sign yourself up! We are
always looking for new folks who are able to provide a meal.
If you would appreciate meals or you would like to nominate someone for meals, please call
KARA to set it up.
THE SHED - FOLD AND CODE
The Shed is available 24/7 for anyone who wants to leave and/or take good used
clothing. Please do not smoke in the shed; the odour penetrates the clothes and
smoking can be a fire hazard.
Thanks to those who have taken time to fold and code clothes from the box. It’s a great
help.
A big thank you to whoever has been helping to keep The Shed neat and tidy. It is
greatly appreciated.
If anyone is willing to take some items to the Salvation Army on a trip to Whitehorse,
please contact the Bakers at 994-2442. About once a month we remove some of the
items that have been there for a while.
Thanks.

order.
Have a safe and happy Halloween.

REIKI
Reiki is a healing technique used for relaxation, stress
reduction and for balance of the chakras in the body. It is a
non-invasive procedure that has been compared to a relaxing
massage. The healing takes place when the practitioner uses
“life force energy” in a concentrated manner and directs it
into the patient’s body. It does not involve any pain, and in
most cases, removes any existing pain from the body.

emotional reiki healing at 994-3016.

GOT ANY OLD FURNITURE ITEMS YOU
CAN’T SELL OR DON’T WANT ??
Frequently people in Faro find themselves in
this predicament. Their answer is to take it
to our garbage dump, pitch it over the bank
and leave it to rot and become a victim of
squirrels, ravens or any marauding predator
who looks for all the cookie crumbs you left
behind in the couch over the past years.
At Faro we are supposed to re-use, recycle
or reclaim as much as we possibly can and
not fill up our waste dump. Pitching your old
used furniture at the dump DOES NOT help
us in this respect.
So the Town of Faro has decided to help you
move that old unwanted couch, coffee table,
computer, TV, love seat, kitchen table and
chairs or bicycles to a new owner. An 8’ x
20’ C-can (container) has now been placed
at the dump in which to deposit this type of
furniture item. The steel construction will
keep the rain and snow off the furniture
items and the animals out (if you close the
doors securely when finished).
Instructions are on the container how to
open (and close) the doors securely. Please
follow these instructions and it will make
the usage so much easier for the next
person. The items in the container are FREE
to anybody who shows up and needs them.
The container has access doors at each end
if the item you want happens to be at the
other end.
NOTE: there is no power in this container so
the storage area is unlit. You will have to
use the headlights of your vehicle if you are
there after dark. Please do not deposit
garbage anywhere near the container and
help us keep the area clean. Everybody will
benefit then.
A SMALL CHANGE IS COMING
Most people in Faro choose to place their
household garbage in our designated bear
proof steel bins located in convenient places
round the town. However if you choose to
make a trip to our solid waste site, for
whatever reason, we would ask that you
adhere to our new policy.
It would appear that people who make a
trip to our solid waste site throw their
garbage over the bank in a designated
dumping area. That practice appears to be
causing some problems at the site. No
sooner than people have left when the
ravens, gulls, eagles and an odd bear go into
“attack mode”. They see very easy pickings
and all the while the plastic bags that are
ripped open get spread all over, blown
around by the wind.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, if you chose to
take household garbage to the solid waste
site that will attract animals; we would like
you to put it in the two steel garbage
containers that are at the bottom of the
site. We dump out these containers every
Monday and Thursday providing you with
ample room to throw out any household
waste.
NOTE: grass cuttings, wood, steel, rug
scraps etc do not apply to this new
procedure. ONLY the household waste that
would be an attractant to wildlife is what
we are trying to exercise more control over.

get better control of the windblown and
bird/animal scattered debris at our solid
waste site.

RESPONDERS, we are BUILDING equality."
If our photo wins, we receive a gift certificate to Board Stiff and our picture will become a poster that gets
distributed nationally for the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL on October 11th.
Thanks to the Faro Fire Department, Faro RCMP, and Faro EMS for the use of their uniforms!

Goodbye to Faro & Little
Salmon Friends!
Since 1978 (34 years!) I’ve been happily in
Faro. Many thanks to everyone who has
ever done anything nice for me!
I’m not leaving by choice – and I’ll only be
in Whitehorse.
Special thanks to Glenda Benoit & Sharon
Johnson. Without your help I would have
never got through moving!
I’ll be at 3 rd Avenue in Whitehorse
COME & VISIT!!!
From Lena
A big shout out to the Public Works
crew for helping us out with a GNO
project! I needed some wood cut to
mount some pictures on, and went down
to the Town Shop to ask if they could
help me out. They not only replaced my
old yucky wood with nice new wood,
but they cut it up for me as well!! This
is why I love living here! Thanks to all
the guys at the Town Shop!!
Heather and the GNO girls
Our season is officially over and I am sad to see it end. We wrapped up the
year with a glow stick swim and a giant slip and slide. We had 21 youth come
out for our glow swim and just over 40 for our slip and slide. Wow that’s 10%
of Faro’s population, can you believe it? I have nothing but wonderful things
to say about Faro, its residence, and of course the town staff. I just want to
say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who made this year possible.
Shout outs to:

Beryl Elizabeth Wallinger (nee Wray) slipped away peacefully
on September 12, 2012 in Nanaimo, B.C., freed from a long
journey through dementia. She will always be remembered
with great love by Bill, her husband of 59 years, her children
and their spouses; Donna (David), Rob (Patsy) and Neil
(Jocelyne), her
grandchildren; Dylan, Liam, Owen, Madison and Nolan, her
sister; Dorothy Leibel, sister‐in‐law; Sara Wray, her nieces and
nephews, and her very dear friends.
Beryl had an inquisitive mind and spirit of adventure that led
her to take delight in exploring many parts of the continent
and meeting people from all walks of life.
She was a vivacious and charismatic woman who lived with
joy, humour and passion, for the majority of her 80 years.
Beryl will be missed by all those who hold her close in their
hearts and warm in their memories.
The family is extremely grateful for the unwavering and
compassionate care received, by all of us, from the staff at the
Nanaimo Travellers Lodge Dementia Care Facility and from Dr.
Davies.
To honour Beryl’s wishes, there will be no ceremony held.
Beryl & Bill lived in Faro from 1970 - 1983
