The caution came during a Pickering council meeting Feb. 7 as residents living in and around the area of Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue turned out to express their concerns about an alarming volume of traffic. The problems stem from vehicles travelling to both area schools Residents complained of speeding cars, parked vehicles and a huge backflow of traffic "Somebodv is going to die.' Bushmifl Street resident Madelaine Cheeseman told council. She called the area an "absolute disaster." "Somebody's child is going to die, council, unless you do something about this. It has become a totally unacceptable part of the community." Ward 2 Local Councillor Eileen Higdon had attempted to stop the problem from becoming worse by proposing a motion that asked the public school board not to add additional portable classrooms to either school. However, a majority of council members rejected the scheme. Instead, local politicians opted to allow time for the recommendations of a technical committee studying traffic problems in the area to take hold. That committee, made tit �1 P -w. .-._.

Continued on Page 5 Ajax " delivers" no tax increase By Genn Hendry it doesn't happen every day that a politician keeps his promise. After seven hours of budget deliberations Saturday, Ajax Mayor Jun Witty was able to deliver on the one he made last week There will be no increase to the towns share of property taxes this year thanks to the job done by town staff and the generosity of the federal government. New Chief Administrative Officer Barry Malmsten, Treasurer Greg Kirkbride and the rest of town staff initially presented councilors with a working budget calling for a total tax increase of only $366,400 — 2.13 per cent more than last year. Staffs job in turn, was made easier by Prime Minister Jean Chretien's recently announced infrastructure program. Lk der the program, federal and provincial governments will chip in more than $3.4 million for public works projects in Ajax, provided these are not part of the town's budget. That enabled staff to leave off several must -do projects, like road improvements to Chuistena, Crescent and Georgina Drive, m the hope that both $400,000 projects will be approved under the infrastructure program. Regional Councilor Susan Dudny, who chairs the budget advisory conwittee, congratu{ated town staff for the "blood, sweat and tears." She caked it a budget co manors can work wNh, esped* in light of expected reduced building permit revenue and nearly $500,000 in provincial alis to the expenditure control program and the legislated Social Contract. "It was a great effort to arrive at a zero tax increase in difficult times," DuIny said, admitting the inhastructtre program made the process more positive. The pubic expects discipline. They aped us to come in with something they can afford_" This is the first time since at least 1980 that Ajax has coarse in with no tax inamse. The previous low was set last year when the town MW the mil rate 0.84 per cert.

Service during the Christmas season — with the possibility of further service reductions on Saturdays and during off-peak times — will be reduced. The move will save the town $25,000. The fire department also suffered cutbacks, through staggering of the four -district fire chief plan. Instead of implementing the plan this spring, two firefighters will be promoted in October and the other two in December, saving the department $5,300. Repair work at the Monarch Street fire station was also affected. The job carried a budget of $46,000, but council decided to do a $10,000 "makeshift" job instead. Most other cuts councillors made were in salaries and through transfers from reserves to the general levy. Four summer student positions were axed this year, at a savings of more than $25,000. A further $15,500 will be saved when two town employees go on maternity leave. Ajax will also save $1,500 in salary when the councillor complement is reduced by one on Dec. 1. Ajax will also save $15,000 by performing the groundwork for ernploynxi t equity in-house, instead of hiring outside consukants. The biggest cut was the easiest one. Councillors, on a recommendation from Kirkbride, simply transferred $150,000 from a capital reserve fund to the general levy. Jim Witty Ajax Mayor The three biggest capital projects that will be financed out of the general levy this year will be Pickering Beach sewer work ($316,200), Mary Street reconstruction ($153,200), and a new computer system for the Ajax Public Library ($91,300). The budget will come up for final approval at the Feb. 21 council meeting. in Ajax too Ajax Transit users will likely pay more for less this year. Town council approved a request from transit director Terry Barnett, during Saturday's budget deliberations, calling for a reduced level of service during the Christmas holiday time. The potential exists for further service cuts on Saturdays and off-peak hours. Councillors also approved an across-the-board fare increase of four per cent. The service reductions will save the town approximately $25,000, but will have "very little impact" on transit users, according to Barnett. 'We found last Christmas that we had more (buses) than we needed," he said. The fare hike, which will bring in approximately $25,000, will mean a five cent fare increase for adult bus riders, and for handi- trans users. The new fare for both services, subject to later approval at council, will be $1.30, bringing it in fine with bus fares in neighboring Pickering and Whitby. Councillors will likely attempt to freeze senior fares at 50 cents. Ward 1 Councillor Frank Schaper voted against the fare increase, noting that it went against the grain of what council was trying to accomplish during the budget talks. "We're trying to reduce the tax increase to zero, but increasing the bus fare — that s just another form of taxation," he said. Council did rescue one service scheduled for the chopping block. Barnett had asked to cancel the Saturday service for the "flag bus", a vehicle capable of serving both handi-trans and regular bus users. Ward 4 Councillor Jim McMaster successfully lobbied for its return, at a cost of $1,200, saying that the move would get people "out of taxicabs and into the Flag Bus." .br Wok "k FINISHING TOUCH: Grade 6 student Jen Bridge works on a mosaic of a Hoplite warrior at Pickering's Rosebank Road Public School.

The nine - Van Kempen urges full staffing at Dixie -Finch fireball A proposal to hire a full firefighting complement at the Dixie Road -Finch Avenue firehall was shot down in flames by Pickering council this week. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Kip Van Kempen made an angry and impassioned appeal to colleagues, asking them to approve the hiring of 12 firefighters and promoting four captains. The matter came up during council's ratification of the town budget on Feb. 7 that calls for no mill rate increase. The budget was approved without charges. During budget deliberations last month, councilors agreed to finance the hiring of five firefighters to man the Dixie - Finch station from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There was an expressed commitment to revisit the matter by the end of 1994 with the intent of increasing the staffing complement. However, Van Kempen argued that the issue is a matter of public safety and urged councillors to endorse hiring a full staff now. He insisted that there is no more important matter for the town to consider than the issue of fire protection services. "There is no higher priority," he told council. He harkened back to a 1987 consultant's report studying the town's fire service needs which recommended an additional town firehall. Van Kempen suggested that those unwilling to support an immediate full staff complement at the Dixie - Finch hall were simply not concerned with residents' safety. During debate, councillors reminded Van Kempen that the town's $5.4 million firefighting budget was proof that there is indeed no higher priority than firefighting services. The next closest town budgeted account totals $2.8 million. Mayor Wayne Arthurs rated that it would cost more than $1 million to hire an additional 16 firefighters and would impact the local mill rate to the tune of 7.5 per cent. He said that the town had, in the past, overstaffed its existing halls anticipating transfers to other fire stations. "This hall will get done," the mayor insisted. -ft will get started in a responsible fashion., WARNING THIS AD MAY MAKE YOU UNHAPPY WITH YOUR PRESENT AUTO INSURANCE RECOMMENDED COVERAGE FOR CAREFUL DRIVERS! .WM medium axe •$250 deductible adision •1 mt'Iron liability •i150 deductible compreNsocive •A=kkd t benefit -Family protection endorsement •Loads of uss/rental vehicle NOTE Careful Drivers Over Age 25 with Preferred Driving Records may quality.

SEMI-ANNUAL PREMIUM pww l" In) ... $489.30 member committee brought its recommendations forward during a Dec. 9 meeting at the Pickering town hall. Among the proposals are plans to introduce a strong policing presence in the area during peak traffic times, staggering school hours, eliminating peak -hour bus service to Pine Ridge Secondary School, conducting a review of parking for the schools, and involving high school students in the discussions regarding traffic problems. John Sillaots, a policeman and resident member of the committee, said approaching young drivers who attend the area high school would be a key element to providing a solution. "Let's confront these students and let them know the problems that the community is having," he said. "I think this is a problem we will have to solve with the community and with the kids at the school." Sillaots suggested presenting the problem to the students and encouraging them to come up with solutions. Ward 1 Local Councillor Doug Wellman said part of a solution may simply be a matter of encouraging more students to walk to school. He noted that some parents take the liberty of following the school buses to ensure their children arrive safely at school — a practice that merely aggravates an already bad situation. Mayor Wayne Arthurs directed staff to prepare guidelines for a traffic consultant's study — find out what consultants should be looking at and how much that study MR cost.

Of course, it's not unusual for local politicians to be a little hot under the collar when it comes to their combative colleague, but Van Kempen may have gone too far this time. During Monday's council meeting, the Ward 2 representative chastised rneun- bers for their refusal to hire 16 additional firefighters to staff the not completed Dixie Road -Finch Avenue fireha0. Councillors have agreed to hire an initial eonhngent of five firefighters and a captain to man the station from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is clearly the intent to increase that complement and expand the service hours beyond that, sometime this year. However, Van Kempen says that's not enough and suggests that if councillors don't agree to fully staff the firehall now, they simply don't are about the safety of arca residents. Despite how anyone might feel about individual rnenrI - - of cmmdl, it is callous to suggest that any are uncaring when it comes to local residents' safety.

He was 65. Low died peacefully Sunday morning at Princess Margaret Hospital. He had been in and out of hospital since Christmas. and had been fighting cancer for the past three years. He retired as the town's top administrator in November after a career that spanned more than 40 years in municipal work — including the past 20 in Ajax. Low was hired by the town as its CAO in 1974, coinciding with the formation of Durham Region. "He led the town through 20 years of challenges and opportunities," Ajax Mayor Jim Witty told The Bay News.

Well," said the farmer, "there aro three reasons why ecow may not have horns. Some cows are born without homs. Sonne cows lose their horns when they get sick. And we cut the horns off some cows to keep them from hurting people or other cows. But the reason that cow doesn't have any horns is because that cow is a horse.'

In 1950, he began as deputy clerk/treasurer for the town and eventually rose to become the CAO Low's career also included a stint as a Dave Low newspaper reporter for the Guelph Daily Mercury. He was active in a number of community service clubs and professional associations. Low was a Rotarian and the Ajax club's past president.

"We'll put the bridle on the horse and, man, we're going," said an enthusiastic Herrema. Town on a budget? Every family struggling to get by these days makes a budget based on expenses and tries not to spend more than they take in. Barry Malrmten, the new chief administrative officer (CAO) for the Town of Ajax, thinks governments should be run the same way. In short, he says, it s time the government went on a pay cheque. "At home, your budget is revenue driven. You look at your pay cheque and if you dont have the money, you don't spend it," he explained. "Governments never build in a realty cheque. They budget on reverxnes they have no right to expect and they have a problem when revenues dont meet expectations. Doing this guarantees a deficit at the end of the year. We have to go 01% a pay cheque and live within our means." Malmsten, known for innovative thinking at his last posting (CAO for Pittsburgh Township near Kingston), only started work in Ajax on Jan. 4. X gave him little time to implement dnarges in the way his staff does NwIes in time for this year's budget. Still, he has already achieved results. Working a lith a budget hit 6y prwhicial cutbacks and reduoed building permit revenues, he *)ed briny in a docurnent Saeuday calling for no mill rate increase, yet with h* reduction in service to town rtesiderts. "I just planted some of the seeds. Our instrilil i lns from the public wm drat they cant afford to pay more," he said. but this'fidd5ng with do margins only lasts so long.

But if you're planning to relocate to a different city many miles away, your move will require a little more organization. It's a good idea to start by taking an inventory of everything you own so you can decide between the items you want to take and those that you no longer need or want. You might even want to store some items in a storage facility if you plan to do some immediate cosmetic or structural improvements as soon as you move in to you new home !like painting, floor refinishing, and so on). You may also want to consider disposing of some items through a garage sale or through donations to charitable groups. Many items that may seem not worth salvaging can be reconditioned and recycled by these organizations. Also be sure to book a moving company — or reserve a rental truck if you're handling the move yourself. This should be done well in advance of your move — at least a month — to ensure that everything is in place for the big day. It's a good idea to stock up on cardboard boxes and newspapers weiin advance of your move. Boxes can usually be obtained from grocery stores. You might be able to get better quality used boxes from your place of work. )bu can also try asking your moving company to see if they have any for sale. When colecting used boxes, cnerk the corners and sides for MME It's also a good idea to have some bubble wrap on hand for packing.

The region recently launched its Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program designed to make sure commercial, industrial and multi - residential buildings aren't contaminating Durham's water supply. Local plumbing inspectors will be visiting a variety of locations to ensure there are no cross - connections from polluting industrial and other sources to the region's drinking water supply. In the event that a contaminating situation exists or could potentially occur, buid:rg owner: and businesses u':: 'x asked 'o ins'a:. se-- back- ow preven:e-s polluting flow. "We just want to make sure there are no contaminations entering the water system." explained Gerry Harness. Durham s maintenance operations manager, during a Bay News interview. "It's not a :natter of there being a problem — its a preventative program." Durham Region administers the program, while municipalities conduct the actual on-site plumbing inspections. The regional program has been on-going for approximately a year in a number of municipalities. Ajax launched its program during the latter part of 1993 while the Town of Pickering recently initiated its own inspections.

No leachate problems at dump, says Durham's works chairman ByGlenin Hen&V What wil happen to Durham Region garbage if Brock West landfill is closed? Pickering Regional Councillor Kip Van Kempen thinks it's a fair question and posed it to Durham Region works chacman John Aker at last week's regional council meeting. The Oshawa councillor's response didn't satisfy Van Kempen, however. Aker said the region is moving towards an agreement with Metropolitan Toronto for the use of Scarborough waste transfer stations if the landfill site is closed before the (hire EEll dump in Pickering opens in 1997. Aker added that, despite leachate problems and fears that Brock West may already be full, the dump stil has two to three years of hie in it. "We're not aware of any leachate problems at Brock West and there wit any reason for it to be closed," he told Van Kempen. "Wel use it until it's closed and then well move to the transfer stations." Aker also scoffed at a suggestion from Van Kempen that the existing dump may be shut down early because of a legal battle the Town of Pickering might wage against Metro. "I understand your own legal Calling All Auctioneers g fast talking is your calling you're inUftito . this month for Auctioneer's Association of Ontario' annual convention and competition.

But Van Kempen told The Bay News he won't advocate fighting Metro in court to close Brock West. There are too many unanswered questions to risk taxpayer money on a war the $own may lose, Van Kempen said. He wants the region to be aware of a possible early dump ck wre and to start looking at other options. "We have forced the region to find another alternative ito Brock West). And you heard from Aker, they don't have any other pian," Van Kempen sand. Van Kempen said it's time someone other than Pickering took over regional respotskiy for garbage. He laid part of ttv blame on Durham's shoulders, noting that Metro stopped tiling Brock West last bt "Everyone's jumping on Metro, but the real culprit is Durham," he said. "Why are we not asking the Region of Dwham,Why are you coniinuing to dump garbage in Brock West?'" "But I don't give a damn 9 its Newcastle garbage or Oshawa garbage or Scarborough garbage. I find each equally offensive," Um Kempen added "The garbage is still coming here." u The Condom Connection, the only local condom specialty store, held its grand opening recently.

The store is located at 70 Commercial Ave. in Ajax. A taxing job for you It's tax time again and for thousands of area residents who have difficulties completing their income tax forms, Revenue Canada has the answers. All that's needed is volunteers. The federal department operates a Community Volunteer Income Tax program each year out of its Scarborough office, serving Scarborough and Durham Region. Last year at least 15,000 people used the service — usually low income people (earning less than $25,000 annual income), the elderly, the disabled, those with language difficulties and newcomers to Canada. But the service depends on volunteers because of budget restraints. A total of 510 people helped out last year. Gail Crossman, head of Pubic affaies at the Scarborough office, said the need for volunteers grows each year, especially during tough economic times. It can be a very remanding and hu mbing experience to be a Part of the program," she said. "There are a lot of people out there who really need help." Already Crossman has 300 volunteers signed up. Many of them are repeat helpers. She noted that some volunteers complete as many as 300 tax forms each. Others may complete only four or five. "But either volunteer is valuable to our program because, if they've helped one person, they've helped us." No experience is necessary, although Revenue Canada will train volunteers. Annual charges to the income tax form will be discussed as part of the training, but volunteers are only expected to complete the simple form. Crossman said interested in helping out may come into the Scarborough office to offer their services or apply through participating libraries, community groups or service clubs. For more information contact Revenue Canada at 973-7521 or 1-800-387-5229. The office will also be represented during an income tax seminar at the Ajax Public Library on March 3, called "What's New For Income Tax" For more information on the seminar call Sarah White at the Ajax Public Library at 683- 4000. IFITMAXX 1035 Brock Rd., Plckwing 427-6277 The Bay Newi; Vebruairy 9, 1994 17 Pickering to Mississauga transit system coming By Dan McLean A proposal for an integrated public transit system, stretching from Pickering to Mississauga and north to Markham and Richmond Hill, appears to be right on track. A 21 -member provincial task force, that includes Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, recently proposed three recommendations that could make an integrated public transit system a reality sometime this year. Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot will consider these proposals over the next few The task force's recommendations include: *Introducing a one -price weekly transit pass that can be used throughout a number of linked transit systems including Pickering, Metro Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill and Mississauga. *Publishing an easy -to - reference transit map in the Yellow Pages detailing integrated transit service outer throughout the Greater Toronto Area. *Creating a centralized, 24 hour -a -day, seven -day -a -week, transit telephone "hotline" to provide route and schedule information. According to David Smith, a policy office manager at the ministry, it's hoped that at least two of these recommendations will become realities by the summer. The first maps should be published in telephone books by June. A one -fare, weekly transit pass will likely be introduced in July. No time frame has yet been established for the telephone information system, but Smith said he hopes its "a matter of months and not a year." "A lot of the technology is in place." he told The Bay News, explaining that many municipalities currently provide transit information by telephone. One of the keys to success for an integrated transit system will be the ability to co-ordinate municipal services. It's hoped that each municipality will time its transit service accordingly so that, for instance, an incoming bus from Pickering would arrive to meet a boarding bus in Metro. "One would hope that good transit management would make that happen," Smith said. "Where it's possible we will certainly try to co- ordinate those things." The telephone information component will help draw riders to the integrated transit system and be an essential component, providing a simple and quick reference for passengers, he added. "The idea is to try and make your first experience of (integrated) transit 'user- friendly," Anne McLaughlin, of the ministry's communications branch, noted one of the major flaws of small community transit systems in the past has been the independent way each operates. "You have to make the system responsive to the people who are using it," she told The Bay News. "That means co-ordinating schedules, creating one uniform rate, and a better utilization of what's there." 18 The Bay News, February 9, 1994 9 35 HARWOOD AVE., AJAX 683-1702 Take advantage of our 10% OFF Pickenng9rPAPPS VALENTINE SPECIAL Fanowite Spot Featurin Sunday Brunch & Dinner Sunda & Mondav • ,b_j t-« • Good Food • Great Service • Big Portions l E ►. �4"ce&r d THE WNATE N STEAK i tEAMOO Menu Presents �s Treat that someone special in your Me to an evening L ; of fine dining in a pleasant, relaxing/1/ atmosptwe... youll f� (/V truly have a'Knghr - 144 1 to remember moi• 0 NOW OPEN SUNDAYS 0 Book Your Reservation Now 839-2954 Nibs Maws: OEes T 4aq a IL ,a- --. • — valel Sa r„d,.i.s Ota menu hr soavthu� for� W �'M' - fio� hm-Md. bu �1MS �t jtttr. deh .rdrul m io a .arrty d rLa.

Now, 20 years and a black belt removed from Liverpool — home of the Beatles and great soccer clubs — Carl Stedmond hopes Pickering and Ajax residents will want to learn the ancient Japanese martial art at the Liverpool Karate pub. Stedmond gave up his soccer dream in 1974 after learning karate and boxing. He was awarded his black belt by Nakayama, a chief instructor with the Japan Karate Association who was an understudy of the legendary Gichin Funakoshi. Stedmond started teaching karate — a harmony of mired and body — at a Montessori School in Canada after leaving England in 1988. Needing the extra space, he opened up Goodbody's Fitness and Beauty Spa in Pickering two years ago. At Goodbody's, fitness lovers can enjoy more than just karate. On Monday Stedmord is opening a fully - equipped gym with free- weighis, sfairmastels, ung bikes, two taming beds and eight toning tables. There wiq also be step aerobics, UU Mrs titnm $35.99 ardw-Motions 1/2 Prk;e IF'/ff Alw I/pwtf Amr CA! e Iittltttilr (ww" s d nm*) In be*. 711 Flttltyf Ave., Ajiax, Ont. 6194XN)O yoga classes, and for those who really work up a sweat, a juice bar. The club also provides a masseur, two estheticians and a beauty salon. "It's not just karate, we do everything else as well," Stedmond said. "Parents who have their children in karate can use the toning tables, the weight room or get their hair done while the kids are training. Stedmond also offers a pay-as-you-go plan for as little as $3 per workout. Karate lessons — Stedmond is one of four black belt instructors — cost only $5 and the club is currently offering a four-month special of lessons for $199, including gi (karate uniform). When classes are not in session, anyone can use the do-jo (training hall) for boxing, martial arts or just to work out. Stedmond is also available for personal training. Equipment available at the club includes heavy bags, speed balls, reaction bags, focus bags, kicking shields and stretching mats. Goodbody's is located behind the old police station in Dunbarton Plaza at Fairport Road and Highway 2. For more information call Stedmond at 839-FIT7.

The widening of Steeles Avenue in Scarborough, a proposal held up last year by the environment ministry, was finally given the go-ahead last week when environment minister Bud Wildman decided the project didn't require a full environmental assessment. The $35 million, three to four-year project — which will Ink Steeles Avenue to Taunton Road in Pickering — is scheduled to get underway next year. Durham Region Chairman Gary Herrema said the announcement is good news for Durham travelers, adding that Metropolitan Toronto win give the work a "high priority." "My understand'utg is Metro Toronto will be proceeding expeditiously," he said. The transportation ministry will provide a 75 per cent subsidy for the project, which will work east from a Markham Road starting point. Durham, with the opening of William Tviehletrees bridge Nov. 3, has completed its share of the project The other wekome news for travelers came from the transportation ministry on Jan. 18 with the auuardirig of a $19.8 contract to Dufferin Construction Co. for the widening of Highway 401 between Highway 2 in Scarborough and the Pickering border. The project, scheduled for completion by October, 1995, is expected to create 397 fun -time equivalent jobs for one year. The contract, which will include the construction of six bridges, is part of the nearly $900 million the province is investing in provincial highway construction and improvements. Improve your odds..

The book, begun in 1990 and scheduled for completion in June, 1995, will comprise approximately 350 pages and be edited by local resident Archie MacDonald. The book will contain chapters about the history of the area, the "war years", Ajax's subsequent life as a University of Toronto, campus, and the early days after its incorporation as a town. I A large part of the book is entitled Then and Now and will ! contain chapters on industry, planning, the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital, police and fire services, housing, communications and schools, to name a few. Another section will be devoted entirely to the history of Pickeriol Village. The book will conclude with chapters about important events in the town's history such as the visit from HMS Ajax, and a final l section on looking ahead to the demographic and economic future of Ajax. The entire project is expected to cost $139.900. The historical board, who received $12,000 in grants and donations. hope to make a small profit from selling 4,000 copies of the book at $32 each. ` The Bay News, February 9,1994 21 a Tips for a s fe 'h me winter o It's as Canadian as the maple leaf or the beaver — a blizzard. Heavy snow, howling winds and plunging temperatures may be a national trademark, but they don't have to spell disaster for your home or car. With a little storm -proofing and common sense, you can survive the ravages of winter. • If a lot of snow has accumulated on the roof, especially a flat roof, clear it off as soon as possible. A !our -foot snowfall on a 20 by 30 ft. roof weighs 30 tons — as much as a DC -9 airplane. Accumulated snow on the roof can severely damage your dwelling, damage that your homeowners insurance wont cover because ze proo:em is detectable and preventabie. • Keep your front walk clear of snow and ice. Its easy enough to lose your footing during the winter, especially after a storm. You don't want to subject either yourself or visitors to a nasty fall. Ice covered branches could fall off your tree, potentially damaging your nouse. Shake the tree clear, but watch out for falling ice yourself. You might want to knock the icicles off any eavestroughs or overhangs, before they ia!1 off by themselves and bop someone. • Clogged gutters or downspouts can cause ice dams, the melted snow oenind them -hen backs up under :he shingles and into he noise. f you notice a wall of ice along the roof edge. break it up. A properly insulated and ventilated attic will prevent the snow from melting in the first place. • Ice and freezing rain can break power lines. Store candles, matches and a flashlight in a handy place {handy enough to find in the dark). Ideal are self -charging flashlights that plug into the wall and come on when the power goes out. If you have a firep!ace, keep a supply of wood on hand for heat. • Cold temperatures it the home nose the greatest threat to the plumbing system: which can ireeze and crack or burst.
