Kearny Dems sweep to victory last week
The Blue Tsunami that hit America last week was just as strong in Kearny — the Democrats had a very strong showing. Seen in this image are five of the victors. They are, from left, First Ward Councilman George Zapata, who won a second term and easily fended off a last-minute write-in campaign against his candidacy; incumbent Board of Education trustees Zibbie Viscuso, Samantha Paris and Laura Cifelli-Pettigrew; and Third Ward Councilwoman-elect Sarah Bonilla, who will take office in January. Bonilla easily fended off a Republican challenger.

HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, forced labor
HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, and forced labor. The lawsuit claims HelloFresh managers and supervisors threatening violence, using racial slurs, denying bathroom access, and threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement against Latine and immigrant workers. According to the lawsuit, HelloFresh laid off about 400 temporary employees on short notice just one day before the state’s Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights was set to go into effect, which guarantees temporary workers stronger labor protections. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages, severance pay, legal fee reimbursement, and pre- and post-judgement interest.

Delbarton soccer gets revenge against Seton Hall Prep, moves to final
MORRIS TOWNSHIP — Dylan Mazzarella called it "a full-circle moment," standing on Delbarton's soccer field and celebrating after defeating Seton Hall Prep, 3-2, in the NJSIAA Non-Public A North final. The Green Wave senior reflected back on four years ago, when the roles were reversed. This is Delbarton's first sectional title since 2018 – also defeating the Pirates, but on penalty kicks. Seton Hall Prep (14-7) had topped the Green Wave in the 2021 and 2023 finals, though the Green Wave has a 13-4-2 all-time lead in NJSIAA Tournament matches. "Freshman year, it was sad to go out on this field to Seton Hall, so it was great to beat them," said Mazzarella, a Parsippany resident. "We took advantage early, and they started getting back into the game. Knowing how we prepared, it got us through." Sophomore Cortland Martin figured into all three Green Wave goals, scoring the first two and taking the free kick that classmate Thine Sohn nodded in. A sophomore defender, Sohn had cleared a ball off the line with about two minutes to go before halftime, then scored the eventual game winner less than five minutes into the second half. Martin has five goals in Delbarton's
