The Frozen Mukluk Local Monthly News from Faro, Yukon Vol. 8 Issue 2 FEBRUARY 2016

Quote of the Month;

'You become. It takes a long

time. That's why it doesn't

happen often to people who

break easily, or have sharp

edges, or who have to be

carefully kept. Generally, by

the time you are Real, most of

your hair has been loved off,

and your eyes drop out and

you get loose in the joints and

very shabby. But these things

don't matter at all, because

once you are Real you can't be

ugly, except to people who

don't understand.”

― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

you�do�not�fall�victim�to�these�tactics:���

•DO�NOT�believe�that�everyone�calling�with�an�exciting�promotion�or�investment�opportunity�is�trustworthy,�especially�if�you�do�not�know�the�caller�or�their�company.�•DO�NOT�be�fooled�by�the�promise�of�a�valuable�prize�in�return�for�a�low�cost�purchase.�•DO�NOT�be�pressured�to�send�money�to�take�advantage�of�a�"special�offer�or�deal".�•DO�NOT�be�hurried�into�sending�money�to�claim�a�prize�that�is�available�for�only�a�"few�hours".�•DO�NOT�disclose�information�about�your�finances,�bank�accounts�or�credit�cards�(not�even�the�credit�card�expiry�date).�•DO�NOT�be�afraid�to�hang-up�the�phone.�•DO�NOT�invest�or�purchase�a�product�or�service�without�carefully�checking�out�the�investment,�product,�service,�and�the�company.�•DO�NOT�be�afraid�to�request�further�documentation�from�the�caller�so�you�can�verify�the�validity�of�the�company.�•DO�NOT�provide�any�of�your�personal�information.��•Ask�your�telephone�provider�to�block�the�telemarketer’s�phone�number.���

The�RCMP�is�involved�in�a�National�Task�Force�known�as�the�Canadian�Anti-fraud�Centre�that�was�established�to�combat�

telemarketing�fraud.�Contact�the�Faro�RCMP�with�the�fraudulent�telemarketer’s�phone�number�and�the�sale�pitch�that�

they�are�using�and�we�will�notify�the�Canadian�Anti-Fraud�Center.�

A�reminder�for�motorist�that�the�RCMP�will�be�continuing�to�monitor�and�enforce�seatbelt�usage.�The�fine�for�not�wearing�

can muster at 09:30 AM and ride the float. We have lots of outfits, thanks to June HAMPTON, so we just need the bodies.

The next option is ex Faroites that are now living in Whitehorse. If you are able to ride the float or know of someone who

could please call 867-332-3276 and leave a message if I don't answer.

MOTIVATED TO SELL

Welcome to our home! This house has been much more to our family than just 4 walls, and it holds many sweet sweet memories. We will mourn the loss of it, but if we know there is a family filling it up with more love it will make it so much easier. This house was built in 1981, and has never been unoccupied. Here are some highlights: Located in desirable upper bench, on a street with many families and almost no empty houses.

VALENTINE RED VELVET SUGAR COOKIE BARS

WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Ingredients

• 3⅓ cups flour

• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 1½ cups sugar

• 2 eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 Tablespoons (one 1-ounce bottle) red food coloring

• Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 2 8 Oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup butter, softened

• 2 cups sifted powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have a 9x13 inch pan ready. I like to line

mine with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray so that the bars easily

lift out and are easy to cut.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.

Set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup butter softened and sugar until light

and creamy. About 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and food coloring

until combined.

4. Add the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Press into the bottom of the

9x13 inch pan. Bake for about 20 minutes until the edges start to pull away

from the sides and a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean. Allow

to completely cool before frosting.

5. To make the cream cheese frosting, Beat together the cream cheese and

butter. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat together until smooth. Frost the top of the bars and enjoy!
