So, here's the thing. I called you out big time tonight because word has gotten to me that people are sick and tired of your lies. I always knew you were talking out of your ass, and for a while I found it amusing, but finding out that other people are put off from coming into Zoom because of you, crosses a line for me. Let me be clear - you're welcome in Zoom but so long as I'm in there I will scrutinize everything you say. We know you're not in Houston, TX. Why you'd lie about that is just a mystery. Nobody would bat an eyelid if you were at home and you didn't lie about it. But yet, you do. I think you have a compulsive need to lie and it's sad for a man of 48, who can't just be straight up. Nobody judges you or your life but when you voluntarily lie and it's as obvious as you make it, then it becomes an issue. And I don't think you will change. I think you're hardwired to be a bullshitter. But you're welcome to prove me wrong. But,...

BEVERLY — A developer has withdrawn a controversial plan to build apartments on top of the MBTA parking garage. Beverly Planning Director Darlene Wynne said Barnat Development requested a withdrawal of its special permit application on Tuesday, hours before the Planning Board was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the matter at City Hall. Barnat asked for a “withdrawal without prejudice,” meaning that it could reapply for the same project in the future, Wynne said. The plan to build apartments on top of the garage was opposed by Mayor Mike Cahill and drew negative comments from residents last week during a presentation by Barnat Development President Sarah Barnat at a Ward 2 Civic Association meeting. Cahill has said the plan does not meet the city’s zoning requirements because it does not include any parking. Barnat had proposed the construction of 70 apartments in three stories on top of the MBTA parking garage on Rantoul Street, across from the Beverly train depot. The company...

National Women's Day is a South African public holiday celebrated annually on 9 August. The day commemorates the 1956 march of approximately 20,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to petition against the country's pass laws that required South Africans defined as "black" under The Population Registration Act to carry an internal passport, known as a passbook, that served to maintain population segregation, control urbanisation, and manage migrant labour during the apartheid era.[1] The first National Women's Day was celebrated on 9 August 1995.[2] In 2006, a reenactment of the march was staged for its 50th anniversary, with many of the 1956 march veterans.

LYNN — Student and youth athletes will soon be benefiting from a project involving the addition of a new sports complex to the fields behind Lynn Tech. The project, currently set to begin this spring, is a part of the city’s mission to use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money on renovating six of Lynn’s parks. The layout of the park will include two soccer and football fields, a baseball field, a softball field, renovations to the existing skate park, spectator seating, and a proposed building. Ward Six Councilor Fred Hogan said that designers are evaluating three different concepts, though each concept will include all of the same assets. The current fields have been in need of major upgrades, and Hogan said he is thrilled to be able to help make that happen. “It’s really exciting for us, especially in Ward Six,” Hogan said. “That was one of the targets that I had early on is making that field better.” With the only turf field in the City located at Manning Field, Hogan said th...
