Business association walks back opposition to Beverly Motel transitional housing project
The Beverly Business Association has changed its tune on a transitional housing project the association previously said it would "firmly oppose." The association submitted an appeal against the project's permit, arguing it would "significantly damage" revitalization for 118th Avenue. At the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board on Thursday, a representative said the association board now has faith in the project. Alex Bosker, BBA executive director, said while the association would prefer a commercial space on the lot, under the current circumstances, the transitional housing project is "the best possible option for the Beverly Motel space." Bosker said the association board wanted to send a message about protecting commercial districts from residential projects. "Our board felt the need to carry this appeal … to set a precedent for the next one that may come along to rezone and put in something potentially less organized with real consequences to our community," Bosker said. SDAB officials clarified that the lot is zoned for mixed use, making the project compliant with the zoning. 'I'm genuinely confused,' owner says The Native Counselling Services of Alberta and the landowner said the appeal was an unnecessary drain on public resources. "I'm genuinely confused by the circumstances we find ourselves in here today," Mohamed Ahmed, the owner said. "One must wonder, is this appeal truly about principle or is it just performance?" Blake Jackman, NCSA's director of housing, said the original launch date was scheduled for July 2, and the delays created by the appeal have led to approximately $200,000 in federal and provincial funding being lost. "But beyond dollars and cents, the human cost of this delay is real," Jackman said. "Staff are trained and ready to work. Individuals who could be housed remain without stability in the Beverly community, living in back alleys, storefronts, parks, yards and streets." The project had received 17 letters of support from community members, politicians and local businesses. Another concern brought forward in the written appeal was not being able to collect a business levy from a residential project in the district. But Jackman said this concern was never raised in engagements between NCSA and the BBA — and they have since committed to paying the levy for up to five years. A member of the public, Joshua Goldberg, spoke in favour of the project and said many years ago he was homeless, but now lives and shops in the area. "I've been trying to understand … why on earth anyone would object to this project." Goldberg suggested the BBA withdraw their appeal. "There are other ways to make a point," he said. When given the opportunity to respond, representatives from the BBA had nothing further to add. The SDAB will submit a written decision on the appeal in 15 days.

Powerful storm knocks down trees and damages homes in Massachusetts
After a strong thunderstorm moved across Massachusetts Sunday afternoon and evening, utility companies and tree crews were out that night surveying all the damage left behind. In Beverly, tree crews were out on Lakeshore Drive clearing streets of branches and leaves and chopping up the large trees brought down by the heavy rains and gusty winds. At least one large tree was ripped out of the ground and toppled over onto a home's driveway, crushing a car. Beverly Police said fallen trees have blocked off multiple roads. Late Sunday night, a little more than 250 customers were without power in the town. Police said they haven't received any reports of injuries from the storm. The Commuter Rail was also experiencing delays on the Newburyport/Rockport line due to downed trees on the tracks. For the latest on the delays, riders are asked to check the MBTA's website. Elsewhere, some communities like Framingham dealt with minor flooding from the heavy downpours. Late Sunday night, there was a little more than 1,000 customers without power across Massachusetts, according to MEMA. Boston and Belchertown have the most customers without power. The storm has since moved out and WBZ-TV meteorologists said the start of the week should be pleasant weather with low humidity and lots of sunshine. But there's potential for another heat wave later in the week, as temperatures climb into the 90s by the end of the week.

Real Housewives Beverly Steyn Clears Friendship Drama
Real Housewives of Cape Town star Beverly Steyn has broken her silence after her name was unexpectedly dropped during the explosive Real Housewives of Durban Season 4 reunion. Speaking to the Citizen, Beverly addresses her friendship with Nonku Williams and the' accusations' tossed around by Jojo Robinson. Shocked and blindsided Viewers were taken aback when Jojo Robinson suggested during The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) reunion that Beverly may have influenced Nonku's behaviour this season, contributing to the breakdown of their on-screen friendship. But Beverly, who was never part of the Durban franchise, says the mention of her name came as a complete shock. 'I was shocked to hear and see what played out on the reunion of The Real Housewives of Durban,' Beverly says. 'I am heartbroken about the way I was portrayed, in a matter I had no involvement in.' The businesswoman and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa star was not featured on RHOD at all this season, but suddenly found herself in the crossfire. ALSO READ: RHODurban star Angel Ndlela buys a new home [PICS] 'Nonku is a grown, intelligent woman' Beverly firmly rejected any suggestion that she is 'in Nonku's ear,' calling the implication insulting to her friend. 'Furthermore, the notion that anyone is in Nonku's ear implies that she is influenced by other people and can't make decisions about HER life,' Beverly says pointedly. 'She is a grown, intelligent woman, and we are all adults.' The Cape Town resident went on to express her sadness over being painted as a behind-the-scenes manipulator. 'I am quietly living my happy life in Cape Town and am not even part of the Durban show,' she adds. 'Yet, I feel unjustly accused of causing a rift in a friendship during a show I wasn't part of, which has been deeply hurtful to me.' Jojo's block-and-delete move Beverly also revealed that, following the filming of the reunion, Jojo Robinson blocked both her and Nonku on Instagram a move that left her reeling. 'Jojo blocked both Nonku and me on Instagram, leaving me confused and hurt,' Beverly says. 'From my understanding, we have completely different relationships with Nonku, and it is not entirely based on our shared faith, but life experiences as well. We help each other to navigate life and provide wisdom where necessary and, of course, to pray with each other about various things.' 'It's absurd to dictate her friendships' As for claims that she had a hand in steering Nonku away from other cast members, Beverly dismissed them as 'absurd.' 'I have other friends outside of our relationship,' she said, 'and therefore it would be absurd to dictate who she can be friends with. I don't have any business giving my opinion about her other friendships.' The Cape Town-based star reminded fans that her relationship with Nonku began on more neutral ground, during filming of Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa in Jamaica. 'I met Nonku on the Ultimate Girls Trip in Jamaica, and our friendship grew from there,' she explains. Respect, growth, and compassion More than anything, Beverly hopes the current drama doesn't overshadow Nonku's personal journey. 'Nonku has grown and matured as a person. She deserves respect, especially as no one truly knows what she has been dealing with in her private life,' she says with heartfelt sincerity. And in true Beverly Steyn style, she ends on a note of grace. 'I hope we can all find a way to resolve this with understanding and compassion.'
