Show THE THUNDERBIRDIGSOUTHERN Professionals offer tips to help protect homes UTAH UNIVERSITYDTHURSDAY DECEMBER 5, 1991 WENDYS WENDY'S WENDY'S WENDYS WENDYS WENDYS WENDY'S WENDY'S WENDYS 994 BY WENDY WEIDNER Thunderbird Staff Writer With the end of fall quarter rapidly approaching, many students at SUU are looking forward to returning to their homes to be with their families for the holidays. Since a majority of SUs students will be gone for the three-wee- k Christmas break, many may return to find their water pipes frozen or their apartments robbed. To prevent such incidents, some Cedar City professionals have offered advice to students who will be leaving town for the quarter break. Gary Jones, a plumber for Jones Plumbing in Cedar City, has suggested that the one of the best ways to determine if pipes will freeze is to talk to the manager of the house or apartment to discover any past problems. He said that at normal winter temperatures most pipes wont freeze if properly insulated. However, according to Jones, If the temperature is below zero, the best thing to do is to let a very small stream of water run through the faucets. Jones strongly advised that the heat in the apartment or house should not be turned completely off. He said that the temperature level for homes should be left between 50 and 55 degrees to prevent the pipes from freezing. Another way of preventing cold air from reaching and freezing the pipes, according to Jones, is to make sure that all the apartments doors and windows are shut tightly. Lt. Glen Miller of the Cedar City Police Department offers several recommendations to those leaving for the break of how to prevent theft of personal possessions during the holidays. If there is more than just one person living in the apartment, it would be best to make it a house rule for everyone to have a key he to the apartment and to lock the apartment when leaving, said. measures as drastic Although Miller doesnt promote anti-theas those in Home Alone, he does recommend that all the windows and doors of the apartment be securely locked. Also Miller stressed that students take care not to leave expensive items near windows where they can be easily seen by others. However, it is wise to ask someone who is staying in town for the holidays such as a trustworthy friend or neighbor to keep an eye on your apartment so that nothing will happen while you are gone. It is just a matter of good common sense, said Miller. Miller also said that the same guidelines for preventing theft in The windows and the apartments should go for vehicles as well. the doors of the vehicle should be locked securely, and there shouldnt be things lying around inside, such as a purse or a wallet, he said.
