A special meeting of the Weathersfield Board will be held on Monday, September 11 at 2:00 pm in The Gathering Place. All meetings of the Board are open to residents of Weathersfield.
A Weathersfield neighbor recently discovered that accumulating dirt and mulch had buried his HVAC system’s condensation drainpipes. This caused moisture to back up into the duct system in the crawl space. Normally, the excess moisture our air conditioning units release is removed through the condensation drain pipe that runs from the unit to outside the home’s foundation. But, if the end of the drain pipe is blocked, this moisture can’t drain away and can back up into the crawl space and even the duct system. This can create mold and mildew in the crawl space and the home.
What can you do? Walk around the foundation of your home. Look for the drain pipe (2 pipes if you have two HVAC units). They are usually on the side or back of the house, low to the ground. Or, ask your HVAC service to locate these pipes during your next HVAC maintenance service. Keeping those drain pipes clear is simple but important preventive maintenance.

Summer is here in all its glory, heat, and humidity. Unfortunately, wildlife is also more likely to be sharing the Great Outdoors with us. Here in Fearrington Village the deer population is ever present, and the risk of being bitten by ticks which they carry and contracting a tick-borne disease are increased.
I was recently contacted by one of our Weathersfield neighbors who two years ago almost died from Ehrliciosis, a tick-borne disease. After a lengthy hospitalization and six months in recovery, she is eager to warn others of the risk of interaction with ticks. She alerted me to a website detailing a recent Tick Forum held in Pittsboro www.chathampublichealth.com. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also has the following helpful suggestions to share:
Avoid Direct Contact with Ticks
Repel Ticks on Skin and Clothing
Find and Remove Ticks from Your Body
If you find a tick, there is no need to panic. A plain set of fine-tipped tweezers will effectively remove a tick. Specific instructions for tick removal can be found here: CDC Tick Removal.
Tick repellents are generally available at many stores in our area. You can also go to websites such as http://tickwarriors.com/shop/ where people interested in purchasing ecofriendly products to combat ticks can find information.
Stay safe this summer!
