Much changed Shelbourne still too strong for Fairview Rangers in FAI Cup
Fairview Rangers 0 Shelbourne 4 Champions League chasing Shelbourne kept their domestic matters on track with a comfortable victory over Limerick's Fairview Rangers. A completely changed and youthful Reds XI had far too much for the junior side. Shels boss Joey O'Brien kept Wednesday's Champions League tie with Qarabag in mind and made 11 changes from the mid-week tie against Linfield. It was a squad bulging with talent from their own academy as treble from John Martin as well as Daniel Kelly's effort put them into Tuesday's draw. Those selected would have been eager to make an impression, especially with the volume of European games the Dublin outfit will hope to be involved in during the Autumn. And it took little time for them to make their mark. Inside four minutes they had the advantage as James Norris centred smartly and unselfishly to John Martin, who finished neatly. A fifth goal of the season for the ex-Dundalk attacker who almost opened the scoring inside sixty second but for smart defending by Jake Dillon on the goal line.

Fairview, the current FAI Junior Cup kingpins were only returning to action after concluding an historic season domestic in mid-June. They won the Limerick District League, the prestigious Lawson Cup and also the remarkable 10th FAI Junior Cup title, which maintained their perfect record in finals in that competition. The visitors doubled their advantage on 24 minutes, when Daniel Kelly read the long ball from 'keeper Lorcan Healy. The Fairview keeper hesitated to allow the pacy Kelly to stroll around him and dispatch into an empty net. Gbadebo Habideen had a tentative penalty appeal waved away for the 'View, as the hosts enjoyed a second enough second quarter. The experienced Jeffrey Judge almost halved the lead with the last act of the half, curling narrowly wide from a narrowing angle. It remained a comfortable two goal lead at the change of ends for the current League of Ireland champions. It was 3-0 entering the final quarter as captain for the day, Seán Boyd, headed down to Martin who volleyed home. Debuts at this level came late for subs Offor Raymond, James Bailey and Daniel Ring before Martin completed his hat-trick five minutes from time – this time Aderinsola Adewale delivered the final pass. Fairview Rangers: J McCarthy; J Dillon (C), T O'Connor, J Cross, B Ahern (D O'Neill 22); J Judge, C Kavanagh (S Carmody 67); O Vysochan (J McCarthy 67), C McNamara, A Dore (R McCarthy 67); G Habideen (C Lategan 80). Shelbourne: L Healy; J Roche, L Temple, S Bone; D Kelly (C Ryan 55) , A Moloney (A Adewale 55), E Chapman (D Ring 79), J O'Sullivan, J Norris (R Offor 79); J Martin, S Boyd (C) (J Bailey 79).

Politically well-connected firm gets Paterson insurance broker contract
PATERSON — A politically-connected insurance company received a lucrative broker's contract on June 11 from the city Board of Education, which rejected the superintendent's recommendation that the district continue using its current firm. The school board's resolution picking Fairview Insurance of Verona as the district's broker for employee health benefits does not say how much the company will make from the contract. That's because Fairview's fees will be paid by the health care network working for the school board, and not by the district itself. Officials speaking off the record estimated that Fairview will make more than $700,000 from the contract. The school board's selection of Fairview comes two years after the city's education commissioners dropped the firm from a different insurance set in motion what political insiders say was a concerted effort by Fairview's powerful allies to run candidates for the school board aligned with them. The four school board members who voted in favor of the Fairview contract on Wednesday night — Hector Nieves, Joel Ramirez, Mohammed Rashid and Kenneth Rosado — all were supported in their 2023 and 2024 election campaigns by the insurance company's allies. In 2023, for example, the Fairview-connected super PAC, America's Future First, put out five campaign mailings backing Nieves and Ramirez. Fairview's most recent pay-to-play report on the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission website says the firm received $2.8 million in public contracts in 2024 and made $137,424 in political contributions. The firm's gross income from government-related work was far higher than $2.8 million because many of the contracts are like the new one with Paterson schools, with the fees paid by a private third party, not the public entity. In 2024, Fairview had more than 50 contracts with various public entities, including the city of Paterson, the Passaic County Board of Social Services, the Passaic Valley Water Commission, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, Passaic County Workforce Development, the Passaic Board of Education, the county of Passaic, and the Passaic Housing Authority. Among the political contributions the firm made last year were $2,600 to the Friends of Andre Sayegh, Paterson's mayor, and $2,600 to Friends of John Bartlett, a Passaic County commissioner. So far in 2025, Fairview has donated $5,500 to Assemblyman Al Abdelaziz's election fund and $10,000 to the Passaic County Democratic Committee. Fairview's chief executive, John F.X. Graham, has been a member of the Democratic National Committee and has served as a superdelegate at the party's national presidential convention. He also served as a campaign adviser or campaign finance committee member to two governors, Jon Corzine and Phil Murphy; two U.S. senators, Cory Booker and Bob Menendez; and three House members, including Bill Pascrell Jr. One of Fairview's insurance consultants is Keith Furlong, a spokesman for Passaic County government and a close associate of John Currie, who is the powerful former state Democratic Party chairman and current head of the party in Passaic County. Furlong also has worked on election campaigns for numerous Democrats in Passaic County, including Sayegh. Before picking Fairview, Nieves, Ramirez, Rashid and Rosado voted down Superintendent Laurie Newell's recommendation that the district continue using CBIZ Benefits and Insurance Services as its health coverage broker. In contrast to Fairview, CBIZ's pay-to-play report for 2024 says the company made no political contributions last year. Newell's suggestion to keep CBIZ was based on score sheets and an evaluation report compiled by a committee of three district administrators. That committee reviewed contract proposals by Fairview, CBIZ, and two other insurance firms — Brown & Brown and Connor Strong and Buckelew. Those documents have not yet been released to the public by the district. Ramirez raised questions about the use of artificial intelligence by district officials in the scoring of the firms' proposals. Assistant Superintendent Luis Rojas told Ramirez that the original scoring ranking CBIZ first was done without AI. Rojas said he used AI to double-check the scoring. Nieves, Ramirez, Rashid and Rosado gave no explanation during the board meeting for why they were voting for Fairview. Ramirez, Rashid and Rosado did not respond to messages from Paterson Press on June 12 asking about their votes. Nieves said he backed Fairview because of his concerns over the use of AI in ranking the vendors. Two board members, Corey Teague and Valerie Freeman, voted against the Fairview contract. Teague told Paterson Press that he thought CBIZ was doing a good job and should continue working for the district. Freeman said she doesn't think the board has the ability to pick a different vendor after rejecting the firm recommended by the superintendent. Board member Kenneth Simmons abstained in the Fairview vote. He said he thinks his colleagues 'overstepped' their authority when they picked Fairview minutes after voting down the CBIZ contract. Fairview is scheduled to start work for the district on July 1, the same date when Aetna becomes Paterson Public Schools' new health care network provider. Charles Ferrer, vice president of the Paterson teachers' union, told the school board during the meeting that many employees have expressed concerns about the medical coverage changes. The union president, John McEntee Jr., noted the timing of the change in an interview on June 12. 'This is a lot to digest on June 12,' McEntee said. 'My number one concern is to make sure my members know exactly who to contact if they have any issues on July 1.' Employees said the health insurance broker, not the school district's human services department, handles complaints when workers are having problems with such things as getting a medical provider referral approved.

Pensioner blackmailed woman with sex pics recovered from her old phone
A Dublin pensioner has admitted recovering pictures of a woman engaged in sexual acts from her old phone to "blackmail" her years later. Anthony Nolan, 84, of Richmond Road, Fairview, was charged with harassment from May 8, 2021, until May 10, 2022, under section 10 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. He pleaded guilty when he appeared at Dublin District Court before Judge Michele Finan on Monday. The court heard the woman, who was known to the accused, gifted the pensioner her old phone in 2009, which she had used for four years. Three years later, Nolan discovered some content on the phone, including personal messages and "photos showing the injured party in sexual activities and he attempted to blackmail her in relation to that". Judge Finan noted that defence solicitor Andrew Molony said his client was attending psychiatric treatment and he needed time to obtain a report. The woman was not present for the hearing. Adjourning sentencing until September, Judge Finan requested that a victim impact statement be prepared for the next hearing. She also extended legal aid for a psychiatric report on Nolan. The accused was remanded on continuing bail and was not required to testify. It followed a preliminary hearing in April to consider whether the case should be sent up to the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers. Jurisdiction was accepted, keeping it in the District Court. The judge had heard that before the victim gave Nolan the phone, "she wiped the phone clean of personal data". The evidence against him also included an accusation that, having discovered the messages and images, he refused to return the phone. Judge Finan heard the complainant tried to "block" him, but he continued to harass her by electronic means and with messages.
