Summer is a time to take a break from work and go on vacation. With children out of school and the weather warm, there is no better time to relax on a beach somewhere. Alarm Relay, Inc., a reliable and trusted home security monitoring company, recently released a blog post with tips to help homeowners secure their property before leaving for vacation.

Several tips are commonly practiced by the majority of homeowners. Arming the alarm system and locking doors before leaving on vacation are common practices. However, these simple tasks can often be forgotten when a homeowner is in a rush to catch a flight or excited to leave town. Alarm Relay, Inc. recommends notifying trusted neighbors and the home security monitoring company before vacation that the home will be vacant. The alarm monitoring company and neighbors can monitor for any suspicious activity.

Additionally, Alarm Relay provides tips about security and privacy on social media. They suggest many people do not realize posting vacation plans on Facebook or Twitter may be putting a home in danger of being targeted by an intruder. The best practice is to be cautious about what is shared online and keep privacy settings to friends only.

One of the most effective ways to keep a home safe while away is to make it appear as if the home is still occupied. If there is not a house sitter, some effort is needed to create an illusion someone is home. Setting light timers can mimic the natural light patterns of a family throughout the evening hours. Asking a friend to pick up mail, flyers, and packages will keep the outside of the home appear maintained. Moreover, having the yard maintained and leaving blinds and drapes in their normal position give the impression that everything is business as usual in the home.

Finally, the technological advances mentioned are among the cutting edge of home security. New security apps available on smartphones allow homeowners to control home lighting, thermostats, and many other automated devices in their home. Homeowners can receive real time alarm system notifications through push alerts or text message and control their alarm through a virtual keypad on a mobile app.

Whether utilizing one or all of these tips, a homeowner will have peace of mind knowing that their home is more secure. For more information, visit http://www.alarmrelay.com, or call (800) 762-9964.

Highway paving set to start next week

ITD still projecting September finish date for road work

By TERRY SMITH Express Staff Writer

Paving is expected to start the week of July 28 on the northbound lanes of the state Highway 75 construction project south of Ketchum. The two southbound lanes were finished earlier this summer and are now being used to move traffic, northbound and southbound, through the 3.25-mile construction zone. In a construction update issued Wednesday, the Idaho Transportation Department explained that roadway preparation is nearly complete for paving, but that actual paving wont start until an asphalt test strip is applied and deemed acceptable by ITD. ITD is still projecting that the project will be completed by the end of September. Construction activities impacting traffic are anticipated to be finished by mid-September. The project, started in 2013, involves widening Highway 75 from Timber Way just north of East Fork Road to the bridge over the Big Wood River near St. Lukes Wood River hospital. When finished, the section of highway will have two lanes in each direction and center turning lanes and deceleration lanes at major intersections. ITD further reported in the construction update that:

DP Scout Fences Off Special Needs Garden

Josh Haworth will be honored as Troop 6s 71st Eagle Scout in a ceremony at Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Plaines this Saturday (July 26).

Haworth completed his Eagle Scout project last summer -- a fence and other improvements for Homestead, which is the special needs facility on the campus of Maine West High School. Gardening is a significant portion of the education provided to Homestead students, but the garden area was unprotected -- and often accidentally inundated by overly zealous athletes during practice, as well as by errant footballs, soccer balls and so on.
