Living room, side doors, among best places to put them

Posted TODAY, 9:04 PM Updated TODAY, 10:41 PM

SAN ANTONIO - Home surveillance systems have increased in popularity, with more homeowners installing them to monitor activity, and catch crooks in the act.

Tim Krebs, spokesman for security company Protect America said 2014 saw three-times more home cameras installations than 2013.

I think it's because they're more accessible, they're easier to use, they're less expensive now than they've ever been, Krebs said. And they've also caught up to the modern lifestyle.

Krebs also said, where a camera is placed can also be crucial to a homes security. He recommends placing a camera in a central location within the home, such as a living room.

If someone were to come in most likely they would have to come through this area to get to the kitchen, to get to another bedroom, to get to anywhere in the home, Krebs said. So we've placed this security camera right here, so if they were to come into the home, most likely they'd have to cross the path of this camera.

And while the front door is a common spot for intruders to enter, Krebs said the back or side doors are equally important.

It's very difficult to predict where they'll come, but yes, it's very common for someone to come through a side window, Krebs said. This is the prime place for a burglar to have some privacy and really go to work on your window."

THE MORNING GRILL: Criminals at Sticks and Stones

All four Marysville school board incumbents whose terms are up for election this spring have filed their candidacy, and one challenger has entered the race.

Incumbents who have filed are board president Sonya Stohs, Position 1; Betty Temple, Position 2; Todd Milner, who holds Position 3; and Kevin Samuelson, Position 7. Lanny Carpenter, a former school counselor, filed Monday for Position 2.

Todd Frye, incumbent Ward 4 Marysville City Council member, filed for re-election.

The city and school election will be April 7. The candidate filing deadline is noon Jan. 27.

Sonya Stohs

Stohs, who is board president, is seeking her third four-year term. She said she filed for re-election to continue to work with the current administration, fellow board members, teachers and staff to bring to reality our vision, mission and goals for the district.

She said that in the last six months the district has applied and been accepted into the Coalition of Innovative Districts, using ACT Aspire as the testing tool to measure student performance; has seen the installation and upgrade of security and camera systems in all buildings; and is working to implement 1:1 technology in all schools by spring 2016.

Great things are happening but we have hard times and decisions to make now and in the future, and I feel that I can continue to be a true asset in turning our goals into reality, Stohs said.

She said she wants to continue building on the foundation that the school district and its current school board has laid.

We as a district have a goal to have our children college and career ready when they walk across the stage and receive their diploma. In order to do this we need to continue to work as a team and think outside of the box. I am a member of the finance committee, and we are moving forward working with the superintendent in being a fiscally sound district by collecting and reviewing of data to make sure we are being as efficient with taxpayer dollars as we can while providing the highest quality of education to our students.

Welcome,Parks fans, to the futureand to the beginning of the end. Last season's feel-good finale ended with a surprise twist as the Parks and Rec universe leaped forward to 2017. The Knope-headed Pawnee branch of the National Parks Department was humming, the Knope-Wyatt triplets (2 sons, 1 daughter) were toddlers, Jerry was Terry, and an employee more incompetent than Jerry had been hired and fired (Ed, we hardly knew ya). Before jumping into the meat of the premiere, let's check in with our favorite Pawneeansthree years into the future.

Leslie Knope: Running the Pawnee office of the National Parks Service. Oversees over 1,200 people, all tireless creative geniusesexcept Terry and Ed (John Hamm). She's got bangs and is nursing a hell of a grudge.

Ron Swanson: Left the Parks Department two years ago to run his own company, the Very Good Building and Development Company.

Ben Wyatt: Still working happily in Pawnee city government, and being awarded Man of the Year for spearheading the Pawnee Bicentennial Celebrationhis biggest civic endeavor since the Icetown fiasco.

Tom Haverford: Tom's Bistro has taken off, and its eponymous owner is officially a mogul, named one of 35 under 35 by Indiana Business Monthly. Owns four eateries including the Tommy Chopper (chopped salads served from a decommissioned military helicopter). His fashion sense hasn't changed at all.

Andy Dwyer: Working part-time for Leslie and starring in his own TV show, The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show. Sprained a shoulder cleaning out a gutter.

April Ludgate-Dwyer: Also working for Leslie, purchasing renters' insurance, and no longer eating cereal out of frisbees, much to her horror. Deeply concerned that she's become boring.

Terry (Larry/Jerry/Gary) Gergich: Works for Leslie, still the office punching bag. Renamed Terry because there was already a Larry at National Parks. Appears as Mailman Barry/literal punching bag on The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show.

Donna Meagle: Running Regal Meagle Realty and freshly engaged to paramour Joe.

With that out of the way, let's get into it. The premiere picks upright where we left off in season 6, with Leslie talking a mile a minute to an ever-patient Ben en route to a meeting. Advancing Leslie toruna branch of the National Parks Service was an important move for a character whose ambition and skill had outgrown the municipalParks Department. But it should surprise no one that she still takes an interest in the doings of Pawnee, particularly when those doings could include the creation of a new national park right in her belovedcity.
