Cleve-Hill Graduate Takes Home Grammy
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Western New York was well represented at the 2025 Grammy Awards, with Buffalo native Miles Barker taking home an award for his songwriting.
"I'm like, what? I've never really been speechless, but God is good," said Barker describing his reaction when he found out.
"You've gotta dream big, if you don't dream big and actually stay consistent, you probably won't get to where you want to be," said Barker. "The Grammy's are like the Super Bowl of music."
While he's proud to be hoisting the trophy, he's already planning to give back with a visit to the 716 in May.
"I plan on talking to my old high school and middle school to come back to like record them and teach them songwriting and stuff like that," said Barker. "There's a lot of talent in Buffalo, but consistency is the biggest thing."
Security Camera
If you would like to install a security camera on the outside of your house, there are several available on the market that are very easy to do yourself.
The one pictured is the basic RING battery powered model available online at Ring.com, Home Depot, Lowes and other stores.
You will need to have Wi-Fi in your house. Because our houses are brick, you will need to install it close to a window so the signal can reach the camera. Wi-Fi will not penetrate brick.
The only tool your will need is a masonry drill bit and mortar anchors (you can get these at Hector’s Hardware on Harlem Road or any hardware store). Everything else is included in the camera package.
You can also purchase a lawn sign to let everyone know you have video surveillance of your home. Great deterrent against crime!
As part of the setup, you will download an app to your smartphone to view the video and sign up for the recording feature on the secure Ring server. It saves the video and audio. Cost for the one camera recording feature is $3 to $5 per month.
Your house is now protected, and you can, if you give permission, share any recorded photo evidence with the Cheektowaga Police Department.
One more way we are the eyes and ears of our town’s community policing program.
