145 'Ring' cameras tracking crime on The Hill
Published: 10:36 PM CDT March 14, 2018
Police cameras were too expensive to install. So, they teamed up to come up with another solution to protect their homes and businesses.
The neighborhood assoc. pitched in money and the manufacturer, Ring, gave the group a discount.
So, anyone on the Hill can sign up and get a Ring camera for $99.
The idea is the brainchild of Jim Barnthouse, who moved to The Hill in the fall from Benton Park.
Barnthouse has placed cameras in their front and backyards. That gave him the idea to spread cameras around his neighborhood.
“So, we thought, how could we get creative in getting a neighborhood style security system going here?” he said.
This is phase one of the installation of 145 cameras. It’s up to the individual home or business to monitor what’s going on in front of their property.
If something suspicious is going on, we can actually share our surveillance video with our neighbors.

When you are out plowing the streets and/or subdivisions, I think it would be a good idea if you would plow all the streets instead of just the street to pick up the City's workers. Only 1/2 of our subdivision gets plowed and we all pay our taxes. Do we have to know someone special in order to get all of it done?

How many of you know about a parking ordinance? There are absolutely no signs posted in the subdivision pertaining to this ordinance. I live at a dead end street which gets no traffic and recently I get ticketed because I park my car in front of my house at night. The ticket says no parking between 2 am & 6 am. I've lived here for 12 years & have never seen anything about a parking ordinance or no parking signs between 2 am & 6 am posted anywhere. Why is this an ordinance and why am I getting ticketed for parking in front of my own home at the dead end with no through traffic?

Maybe they don't care, but I don't appreciate having all the snow left in front of my driveway. I pay my taxes and should be treated like all others in this subdivision.
