For the next two weeks, there will not be the usual flag flying in front of the county courthouse.
For the next two weeks, don't be alarmed if you don't see the usual flags flying in front of the county courthouse. The flagpole on the front lawn of the Morris County Courthouse on Washington Street in Morristown will be painted this weekend and will need about two weeks to cure. Morris County officials want the public to know that flags will not be flying from the flagpole during that time. In the interim, however, an American flag will be placed outside of the front entrance to the courthouse during regular business hours. Flags will again be flown as soon as the flagpole is ready.

Governor chides reporters for obsessing about 'silly,' 'shallow' subject, says he is not a role model
Gov. Chris Christie reluctantly fielded reporters’ questions Tuesday about his February Lap-Band surgery, but said he would not be providing the public with any news as he heads towards his weight-loss goal, which he pointedly refused to disclose. "This is it. You ask me any more questions about this, I’m not answering,” Christie said during a groundbreaking ceremony at a Newark vocational high school. "I’m not going to be giving you all updates as this goes along. ... I’m not giving people a day-by-day, week-by-week, blow by blow," he said, adding, "I don’t care to be a role model for anyone. This is an intensely personal issue." The governor told the New York Post Monday night he’d had Lap-Band surgery in February because of concerns …
Governor tells New York Post that Lap-Band procedure was done at the urging of his family. An NYU doctor made house calls to Christie's Mendham home to not draw attention to the surgery.
Gov. Chris Christie underwent stomach-shrinking Lap-Band surgery in February, he confirmed to the New York Post on Monday night while refuting speculation that he was slimming down for a White House run in 2016. Christie quietly had the Lap-Band — or laparoscopic adjustable gastric binding —procedure done in a New York hospital, telling the paper that he agreed to the surgery at the urging of his family after turning 50 in September. Sean Conner, a spokesperson for Christie, confirmed the story to Patch Tuesday. The governor insisted that the Lap-Band was not inserted to help him lose weight in the run-up to 2016. "I know it sounds crazy to say that running for president is minor, but in the grand scheme of things, it was looking at Mary …
Morris County Freeholder Ann Grossi is building support for her bid for a new job.
Morris County Freeholder Ann Grossi, running in the June 4 Republican primary to replace outgoing county Clerk Joan Bramhall, has something to celebrate. Her campaign has announced that the Parsippany resident has won the public support of a long list of New Jersey mayors. The list includes the names of 24 town leaders. An open letter sent to Morris County Republicans by an entity called Mayors for Ann Grossi extols the candidate's virtues. "As Republican elected officials and community leaders we can think of no one more qualified and capable of continuing the integrity and efficient management of the clerk’s office than Freeholder Ann Grossi," the document states. "Since the Liberal Media has [sic] declared war on the Republican party …

Trustees say Sam O. Pharo takes over leadership of the library as of July 1.
The Kinnelon Public Library has a new director. Library trustees on Tuesday announced the selection of Sam O. Pharo to succeed Barbara Owens, who retired at the end of 2012. Pharo starts the job July 1. Pharo is the former director of the Boonton Holmes Public Library in Boonton.

Before that, he worked as a librarian in the Boston Public Library in Massachusetts, providing reference and information services, volunteer oversight, collection management and various computer support services. He was also a reference assistant at Boston'…
Lawrence Ball, a former county worker, must submit to mental health treatment.
A former Morris County employee will be on probation for five years after he used a slingshot to fire at passing cars. Lawrence Ball, 55, of Randolph was sentenced Friday to five years probation by Judge Robert J. Gilson. Ball, a 19-year Morris employee, had pleaded guilty March 12 to third-degree unlawful possession of a weapon (a BB gun) and third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (a slingshot). Ball was arrested on Sept. 13, 2010, after authorities reported he had been firing the weapons at passing cars, acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said in a release. The Randolph man will have to submit to mental health treatment as a condition of his probation. Ball also must forfeit public employment, any weapons …

BMAC says entire community needs to get involved to prevent and stop drug and alcohol abuse.
The Butler Municipal Alliance Committee needs the community's help. The advisory body, linked to the Morris County Division of Behavioral Health and Youth Services, exists to implement programs to reduce alcohol and drug abuse in Butler.

Carolyn and John Jackson accused of breaking adopted kids' bones, force-feeding them hot sauce and depriving them of water. Family friends say the charges are untrue.
A couple accused of torturing and abusing their children on the Picatinny Arsenal military base were freed Thursday on $250,000 bail each. Carolyn and John Jackson appeared before the Hon. Judge Falk in Newark on a 17-count indictment. They were ordered not to have contact with the children. On Tuesday, Carolyn Jackson, 35, and John Jackson, 37, both of Mount Holly, were indicted by federal authorities for years alleged abuse. The abuse included breaking two of their adopted children's bones, withholding water from them, force-feeding them hot sauce and denying them medical attention, authorities allege. The couple had fostered and then adopted three children, one of whom died in 2008, and also had three biological children living in their…
Borough animal control officer said the birds some find a nuisance are seasonal, and the season's almost over.
Don't be surprised to see turkey vultures lurking in Bloomingdale — and if they bother you, don't worry. They won't be around long, according to Bloomingdale Animal Control Supervisor Lisa Perry. But they are here. Residents have contacted Patch saying they had seen the scavengers. Cheryl Bavaro shared photos of what she saw and added that at one point, she counted 23 of the birds in her back yard. "There was one day when they were around when I had my baby in my arms," she recalled. "It was truly scary." Bavaro said she tried to call the borough for help but had not yet received a response. Borough Mayor Jonathan Dunleavy said that animal control was on the case, but was still baffled by the question. "I am not sure what an animal control…
