Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

It was a close call for a family living by the water in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea when a boat leaped out of the Intracoastal Waterway and crashed into the rear of their home.The boat struck a channel marker, ricocheted and crashed into the rear of the home, located along the 1500 West Terra Mar Drive, Tuesday night. Homeowner Lynne Kelley, who has been living in the area for nearly 10 years, said nothing like this has ever happened to them before. “We heard a loud crash. I thought it was thunder,” she said.Sadly for the family, this was no summer storm.“The first thing we saw was a motor on our patio,” she said.The out-of-control vessel crashed into the Kelleys’ backyard by the sea and left a path of destruction.“I’m still in shock, I’m sick to my stomach,” said Kelley. “They removed the motors, at least, off the property. The boat got towed at 2 in the morning; they had to wait for high tide. I believe he hit that post out the...

Some migrants seeking shelter at BMC sent to Logan Airport, hospital confirms

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

After Boston Medical Center offered shelter to migrant families without a place to live, the hospital reported seeing more migrant families in need of help than it could handle.BMC confirmed it moved some of the migrants to Logan Airport.Boston City Councilor At-Large Ruthzee Louijeune said she was notified of the hospital’s actions last week.“A hospital is not an ideal location for anyone in search of shelter and nor is an airport,” Louijeuen said. Louijeune, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, said this felt personal. “At the end of the day they’re people like you and me,” Louijeune said. “These are people who deserve a safe life and have so much to give our city and our commonwealth.”Logan was chosen because it is open 24 hours, has restrooms, security and food options, BMC said.“The role of an airport is for travel not for providing shelter and safety to people in need of that,” she said.Massport, which runs Logan Airport, agreed in a statement.“This is an unfortunate ...

5 things the Mets need to do in the second half

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

The first half was a mess for the Mets.Stars such as Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Pete Alonso struggled through stretches of inconsistency. The bullpen sputtered without injured closer Edwin Diaz. Key contributors from last year’s 101-win team have taken steps back.The result was a 42-48 record before the All-Star break, good for fourth place in the NL East and 18.5 games behind the division-leading Braves. The $360 million Mets showed signs of life with a six-game winning streak to begin July, but they ended the half on a sour note with back-to-back losses to the similarly disappointing Padres.The good news? With three NL Wild Card spots, the Mets remain within striking distance of playoffs at seven games out.Here are five things the Mets need to do to salvage their season.START STRONGThe next three weeks will be key for the Mets to determine where they stand at the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Bruins beat: Making the playoffs will be a challenge for Boston

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

Don’t look now, Bruins fans, but the waters of the Atlantic Division are getting deeper by the day.Anyone who was paying attention during the B’s historic 65-win regular season knew it was a high-wire act performed without a net. The forever-stagnant salary cap was clearly going to bite them in the 2023-24 season and it has indeed taken a big chunk out, with Taylor Hall, Tyler Bertuzzi, Dmitry Orlov, Garnet Hathaway and Connor Clifton out the door. A couple have gone to the B’s direct divisional competition – all of have stayed in the Eastern Conference. Whether Patrice Bergeron and/or David Krejci will return is still in doubt.The latest Atlantic Division team to improve itself was the Detroit Red Wings, who on Sunday landed game-breaker Alex DeBrincat, the 25-year-old two-time 41-goal scorer, from the Ottawa Senators. DeBrincat, who signed a four-year extension at a reasonable $7.87 million, joins a promising corps of Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond and Moritz ...

Beer pioneer Anchor Brewing to shutter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

San Francisco’s 127-year-old Anchor Brewing Co. will shut down and liquidate after years of declining sales, citing tough economic conditions.Anchor was a trailblazer in the U.S., brewing craft beers in the 1970s when most Americans were loyal to a handful of major brands. Its unique brewing techniques ignited demand beyond the city borders of San Francisco, and it quickly became a sought-after prize by beer geeks everywhere.In recent years, however, brewers have faced increasing difficulty turning a profit with a proliferation of canned cocktails, crafted drinks, spirits and wines dinging beer sales. Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic pressured brewers further.Last year, overall beer sales volume slid 3.1% in the U.S., according to the Brewers Association. Craft brewer sales volume ticked 0.1% higher during the period, but imports are rising.“We recognize the importance and historic significance of Anchor to San Francisco and to the craft brewing industry, but the i...

City Budget Office: Madison Square Garden’s tax break doesn’t make sense

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:27 GMT

Madison Square Garden’s enormous tax break should be eliminated because James Dolan is unlikely to move his teams from the New York City cash cow, according to a new report from the Independent Budget Office.The tax break, which began prior to Dolan’s reign as MSG warden, has cost New York City roughly $1 billion, according to the government agency, which it called a conservative estimate. Dolan is now saving about $43 million per year on property taxes.The reason for the tax break — which was established in 1982 after threats from the Knicks and Rangers that they’d leave New York City — is outdated, the IBO determined.“The current location of MSG in Midtown Manhattan and directly above Penn Station, creates optimal conditions for revenue generation that would be impossible to replicate were MSG to move to New Jersey or another major metropolitan area,” read the 30-page report titled, ‘An Examination of the Madison Square Garden Proper...
