Week in Review: Whereabouts of Freddy Determined

Quiet, final weeks of summer sweep the town.

It seemed like everyone was away on vacation this week. The streets were quiet, the e-mails were slow and for once, the phone was not ringing off the hook. But, we still had coverage galore! In case you missed anything, here's the weekly rundown:

On Monday, we continued our lifeguard series with Matthew Hicks, brought you a photo gallery of Seussical Jr. at the Summit Playhouse, and previewed Congressman Leonard Lance's town hall meeting in Summit.

On Tuesday, we brought you coverage from a shared services training session between the EMS units in several local towns, previewed the remaining three Coffee House Sunday Night's at the Family Aquatic Center, and brought you the weekly police blotter.
