With rising temperatures and disappearing snow, at Hullett Central Public School are enjoying some warmer activities including basketball, four square and playing a game of catch with a football on surfaces previously covered with snow. Shown jockeying for a catch are Andrew Fleming, left, and Ryan Cowan. (Denny scour photo) students Principal Cathy Goetz Hullett Central Public School Hello from Hullett Central Public School. We are trying our best to embrace winter this year, but so far this January the weather is not co- operating. Interested students in Grades 4-8 are going downhill skiing at Hockley Valley Ski Resort, outside of Orangeville on Friday, Jan. 27. The ski resort tells us they will have lots of snow for us to ski, so fingers crossed the travel weather co-operates with us as the buses will be leaving 6:30 a.m. and arrive back home to the school around 5 p.m. The second winter activity we have planned is for all students in Grades 1-8 to enjoy a day of winter tubing at River Run Tubing Hill in St. Marys. The buses will be leaving shortly after 9 a.m. on Feb. 14 and returning just before 3 p.m. to catch our regular buses home. Permission forms for this trip have just gone out this week and we look forward to as many students as possible joining us for this spirit day activity to celebrate winter on Valentine's Day. Please feel free to check out our website as you will be able to read our newsletters. You can also take a look at our calendar on the site to see what is happening at Hullett, and read the principal blog under the principal heading on the main page. The website is www.avonmaitlandschools.ca/hullett/ January and February is the time for oral presentations as some students will be participating in our Legion public speaking and story- telling competition. Students in Grades 1-3 can choose to either tell an original story or a speech. Students in Grades 4-8 are competing in the speech competition. If students chose not to participate in the Legion competition, they will still be completing an oral assignment in the classroom. Our school competition for our classroom winners will be Feb. 23 with a snow date of Feb. 24. We will be starting in the morning with our Junior and Intermediate speakers, please feel free to join us as we appreciate audience members. The primary contest will begin at 11:30 a.m. Our volleyball teams have been practising. This winter we have both Junior and Senior competitions. Our coaches are busy working with the students to further develop their skills so they can bring their best effort to the tournaments. Check out our website and Hullett calendar to find out when the tournaments are. Our math teachers are working this year on their professional development around patterning and more specifically around how we encourage, help and support our students to develop strong algebraic thinking. Students are busy completing projects and assignments as teachers are gathering marks and information for report cards which will be sent home Feb. 17. New this year is our Kindergarten reporting document. This report shares with the parents learning stories of their child and explains their learning progression through the 31 Kindergarten curriculum expectations. I will sign off for this week, and look forward to sharing more "Happenings from Hullett" another time. Happy winter everyone.

Letters to the Editor Private snow removal concerns Vodden THE EDITOR, I would like to draw attention to a very dangerous situation: the alley running from the east side of Queen Street between the Library and Maple and Moose and running north to Dinsley Street. This alley has been covered with a deep and uneven layer of ice for many weeks. The many people who walk through this area and those who park their cars there are risking severe injury in every step. This is not a municipal responsibility as the alley is entirely private property attached to each of the buildings facing Queen Street. I believe that the owners of those buildings could be subject to a claim should someone be seriously injured by a fall. On Tuesday of last week, the garbage/recycle truck did not venture onto this rink. I don't blame the driver. Full disclosure: I am submitting this partly in self interest because I park our car in that alley behind our apartment. During nights in the winter months we are not able to park on any street. Getting to and from one's car can be quite an adventure. People living in apartments in this block are also in jeopardy. Snow accumulation is also a serious problem here as well. This week I was looking for someone to apply sand and/or salt to the alley, but was able to find only a person who has a salt spreader. I hired him to do the entire travel area on the alley and it has improved the surface quite a bit. I can't afford to make this a regular service. I would like to suggest that the owners of these properties put a joint plan to look after their responsibility. The distributed cost would be minimal and could avoid liability issues. Brock Vodden Council actions worry Storey THE EDITOR, Most councils of Huron County are disfunctional. Conservation Authorities and Counties Planners are forming and presenting by-laws via the municipalities CAO's to the councils. Without researching the legality, causes or effects of the by- law, the bobble -headed councillors pass the by-laws onto private property. These by-laws eg. tree cutting are violating the property owners' property rights and human rights. Councils are placing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown and the Crown Patents of Huron County in disrepute. This will continue to escalate until the majority of property owners understand their Crown Patent and their Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is time for property owners to research and realize that no one including our Queen and Government has authority on private property without the owners' written consent. Concerned property owner, Ray Storey. All word ads in The Citizen classifieds are put on our webpage at www.northhuron.on.ca
