Please: Never Flush Wipes

All wipes – disinfectant wipes, “flushable” wipes, baby wipes, etc. – belong in the trash, and should never be put down the toilet or drain.

Even “flushable” wipes do not readily dissolve in water like toilet paper. They can get stuck in bends in the pipes or cling to other buildups, causing clogs that lead to sewer backups and/or spills. In Huletts, I have been told that they have gotten stuck in some of the sewer pumps, causing expenses to rise as the pumps have to be removed and unclogged.

This video helps explain.

School Budget Passes / Board Remains Same Size


The Whitehall School Budget of $20.1 million was approved by the voters recently by a vote of 140 to 27.

The tax levy will only increase about $28,000 because state aid sees an increase also from this year’s budget.

The proposal to decrease the size of the school board ultimately failed because of an 86-86 tie vote.

All five candidates who filed petitions were elected to terms of varying length.

Next year’s school spending will be $20.1 million dollars for our district, which had a total enrollment of 672 K-12 students for the 2022-2023 school year.

Thoughts on June

June was always a great month for us as children because it was the beginning of summer vacation. When you are a child, three months of summer vacation seems like an eternity with September light years away. We were always encouraged to read, play golf or tennis, and generally stay busy. Our mother wouldn’t allow any TV watching. Such good memories. Those childhood memories stay with you for a lifetime. Parents have it a bit harder. It’s a lot to manage with many children at home. Many of the grandparents and extended families in the community help with watching younger ones during the summer months.

Huletts has always been a place for families. It can be hard with all the summer commotion and activities, but the sounds of children always make it worthwhile. Hopefully 2023 will be a wonderful year of making good memories for all families. Young and old! Three months of happiness starts today.
