• Bergen County Pool Party Was 'Absolute Embarrassment' To Town, Mayor Says (patch.com) — New Milford's mayor is condemning a recent pool party at the privately run New Milford Swim Club as an embarrassment after late-night brawls drew a large police response. No arrests or serious injuries were reported, but officials say the event wasn't authorized by the borough, and tensions between the town and club leadership over operations are now in sharper focus.
