A photo gallery beaming with Hilltopper pride.
Ward 2 Councilman Patrick Hurley ( @PatrickHurley on Twitter ) is a part time shutterbug. When he turns his camera lens on Investors Bank Field during a game his Summit pride shows, naturally. "I know football so well (and am familiar with Summit's play calling)," he told Patch, "I am often in a good spot to get the best shot." He says photography is one of the ways he stays grounded. Hurley has shared some highlight shots from the early part of this football season. Check out his photos attached to this article. The Hilltopper's next game will be a test against local rivals Cranford. Maybe Hurley will be on the sidelines to snap another Summit win. Summit vs. Cranford, Friday, Sept. 21 at 7p.m. Cranford Memorial Field

They let me do more than the average observer since I had a lot of fire fighting …

I married my husband, Pat Hurley, almost 24 years ago at St. Teresa’s Church here in Summit. When he decided to run for City Council this year he warned me about all the personal attacks on his character that would come his way as a result. I thought after having been through the first eight years of our marriage I had developed thick skin and that none of this would bother me. But, Mayor Glatt’s orchestrated and inaccurate attack on him does bother me, a lot. During those early years of our marriage, when I assume Mayor Glatt was just getting his feet wet in his father’s business, I, like thousands of military wives today had to live through month after month (totaling years) of my husband, a pilot in the Navy, being deployed first to the…

Not a bad idea having all councilmen do the same thing, and spend an evening riding along in a police cruiser (if the cops can manage to put up with them). That might give them a better appreciation for THE most important function of government: Public Safety. more ›
