Ceiling Fan Tip – and Other Hot Weather Tips

by

Your web guy just returned from Utah, where the temps were a bit over 100F. It’s nice to be here where it is a bit cooler. But the weather lately here has been warmer than usual, so an 80+F degree day might start to feel warm.

I always forget which way the ceiling fan needs to turn during the summer. (A bit of air movement will help you feel cooler.) So here’s a reminder:

“During the summer you want the fan to blow air straight down, so your ceiling fan needs to run in a counter clockwise direction (as you look up at it). The warmer it is, the higher the speed should be. During the winter, your fan should run at a low speed in a clockwise direction.”

If you don’t have a ceiling fan in your house, any fan that moves the air around will help you feel cooler. Keeping the west-facing window shades down will help also (if the sun hits those windows directly). Opening up windows in the morning before hit gets hot helps cool down the house. Watch the temperature outside: when it hits about 70-ish, you should consider closing up things.

Keep hydrated: a pitcher of ice water with lemon slices can be refreshing. And don’t forget to keep the water dish filled for your furry friends. (Try not to take them with you in your car on hot days – temps inside the car can warm up very fast, even after a few minutes in a parking lot.)

Do you have any hot weather tips? Add yours in the comments below.

Lawsuit Decision Document

by

This document, available to residents only at this page, is the formal, final order of Judge Harper in which he grants the TVHA request for Summary Judgment against the Third-Party Plaintiffs, dismisses the Third Party Plaintiffs claims, with prejudice, and dismisses TVHA from the case. This will be of high interest to many residents of Timberton.

I will discuss this in some detail at the annual meeting on 29 June.

Thanks much.

Fire Safety Presentation

by

Tuesday, June 9th at 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Bay Club Auditorium

The Olympic Range is in a drought condition and the forecast for the summer is more heat. This raises the real possibility of a major fire in our area. The Port Ludlow Fire/Rescue service will present a program on fire safety and emergency preparedness.

The program will cover the following topics:
Representatives from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue, U.S. Forest Service and the Department of Emergency Management will be on hand on June 9 at the Bay Club for a presentation to the community about fire safety issues and how they pertain to wild land or vegetation fire risks; information about local resources and services; being prepared for natural disasters and provide an opportunity for fire extinguisher training.

Handouts will be provided.

Until we see you, check out this useful link for emergency information delivered immediately to your phone: http://www.jeffcoeoc.org/nixle.htm

Also, want to know about Hood Canal Bridge closures (non-military) in advance by email or text message to your phone? You can do so by going to this site. Pick just the Hood Canal Bridge, or any other amount of additional Washington State DOT managed locations
