Carrara Companies, specializing in construction, restoration and cleaning services, raised $5,000 — its largest sum to date — during its 4th Annual Charity Summer Classic, held June 12 at Roses Run Country Club in Stow. All proceeds from this year’s golf outing benefited families served by Community Services of Stark County Inc., a nonprofit agency dedicated to finding permanent homes and families for children in need.
“Each year, it is our mission for the golf outing to present both a fun and challenging event while supporting a worthwhile cause, and this year was no different,” says Justin Sucato, Carrara Companies president and owner. “We were thrilled to present this check to a charity who has directly assisted a Carrara Companies employee in the past year.”
Hosted by Steamatic by Carrara (a division of Carrara Companies), the event raised money through seven available sponsorships and the sale of raffle tickets in exchange for door prizes, including TaylorMade golf clubs, and framed and autographed pictures of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Kicking off the event at 7:30 a.m. was a breakfast, with golf beginning at 9:30 a.m. Throughout the day, golf skills contests, including closet to the pin and longest drive competitions, were held, as well as free golf lessons by certified teaching professional Rick Zivsak. Later, a dinner and awards ceremony was held to honor the golf outing’s major sponsors: Galloway Construction, DKS Dry Cleaners, Joseph and Joan Fernandez, Cintas, RSVP Ohio, Safelite Auto Glass, Proforma, Dunkin Donuts and Bruegger’s Bagels.

The arrival of colder weather brings the promise of frozen pipes for homes and businesses, especially those unoccupied for extended periods of time. Insurance companies estimate approximately 250,000 homes have their pipes freeze and burst each year. It does not matter if the piping is made from copper or plastic (PVC), an eighth of an inch crack will allow 250 gallons of water a day to come into the home and wreck flooring, furniture, and other personal property.
How can you prevent your pipes from freezing, and what do you do when it occurs? The following tips provide help to answer your questions. Look in the basement, attic, crawl space, garage, and under kitchen and bathroom cabinets for water pipes not insulated. Hot and cold water pipes require proper insulation, as a hot water line can still freeze if the water is not running through them and the water temperature is cold.
Use a pipe sleeve, heat tape, or other similar material on exposed water pipes. They should be carefully wrapped, with ends butted tightly, and joints wrapped with tape. Seal any area around the pipes, which may allow cold air inside. When severe cold weather arrives, even the smallest amount can cause a pipe to freeze.
Take preventive action by keeping garage doors closed, and opening cabinet doors to allow the warm air to circulate. Keep the thermostat no lower than 55°F and at the same temperature during the day and night. While you are away, if possible, ask a neighbor to check your home periodically to ensure it is warm enough and no pipes have burst.
If you turn on your faucet, and only a trickle of water comes out, you may have a frozen pipe. Keep the faucet open while you attempt to look for the affected area. Apply heat to the section of pipe by using a hair dryer, portable space heater, or by wrapping towels soaked with hot water. Never use electrical appliance around standing water. Never use a propane, charcoal, kerosene heater, or blowtorch to heat the pipe. The fast boiling water could cause the pipe to explode. In addition, an open flame brings a serious fire hazard as well as carbon monoxide exposure.
Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. If the area is inaccessible, do not hesitate to contact a licensed plumber. Think about adding insulation or moving the pipes if the problem continues year out.
