Tennessee's Business Court is Back in Business
Monday - May 15, 2017
Many of our clients will be happy to know that Tennessee's Business Court is back in business as of May 1, 2017, after the Tennessee Supreme Court lifted an embargo on the filing of new cases. Clients with sophisticated business disputes and intellectual property disputes based in Tennessee can once again avail themselves of a forum whose primary function is dedicated to resolving complex cases.
Officially, the Tennessee Business Court is just a "Pilot Project," but most attorneys and clients hope it is here to stay. (Tennessee is one of 28 states with a dedicated Business Court). Phase 1 was established by the Tennessee Supreme Court in March 2015 and was set to expire in December 2017, but it was so popular that an embargo had to be imposed earlier than that to give the presiding judge, Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle, some relief. Over 90 business cases were transferred to the Business Court prior to the embargo.
Phase 1 of the Business Court was celebrated by attorneys (and judges) across the state as a huge success. It unclogged the dockets of other courts in the state. And while many courts in Tennessee function at a high caliber, Phase 1 of the Business Court gave clients access to a tribunal where judicial involvement was specifically tailored to the demands of each case, and where the presiding judge operated at the highest levels of competence, flexibility and efficiency.
Although Phase 2 of the Business Court is still in its infancy, here are five takeaways from what we know already:
1. To qualify now, a party must seek at least $250,000 in damages, compared with $50,000 under Phase 1. (If the case seeks primarily injunctive or declaratory relief, it may still qualify even if it doesn't seek damages of that amount.)
2. If your case involves any of the following claims, it no longer automatically qualifies for transfer unless your lawyer can persuade Chancellor Lyle and the Chief Justice how those claims present "sufficiently complex commercial issues that would have significant implications for the larger business community": breach of contract; fraud; misrepresentation; shareholder derivative actions; real property disputes; claims between business entities/owners as to their business or relationship; construction disputes; and violations of non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreements.
3. Unlike previously, cases involving trademark law now are explicitly included as qualifying for transfer, assuming the other criteria are met.
4. Where you previously had 60 days from service of the complaint to seek a transfer, you now have only 30 days.
5. Finally, as our firm has learned through experience, even if your case otherwise qualifies for transfer to the Business Court, the Supreme Court will refuse to transfer it if the complaint was filed prior to May 1, 2017. This means, unfortunately, that some clients will miss out on the opportunity for specialized resolution of their dispute in Tennessee's Business Court.
Bonus! To read the Court's "Guide to the Business Court" or examine past Business Court decisions, click here. If you believe your case could use a proactive approach from a hands-on judge who sets meaningful deadlines and who adapts procedures to meet the needs of your case for a customized outcome, we would be happy to discuss your case with you and see if it might qualify.

Good Times are Coming to Lower Broadway
Wednesday - August 24, 2016
Alan Jackson is a legend. No, really.
Will Cheek, Bonelaw attorney and Tennessee alcoholic beverage law expert, reminds us that Mr. Jackson has long earned the respect of musicians and artists. He's in good company - with the likes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, just a couple of other songwriters who have also written more than 20 number one songs.
And his legendary status is increasing by the minute. Mr. Jackson is realizing another dream of his - to own a honky tonk on Lower Broadway. The aptly named, AJ's Good Time Bar comes from his 2008 hit song, Good Time.
Look for this establishment to open later this year and don't be surprised if you see Alan himself on stage every now and then, just keepin' it country.

Client Opening a Craft cidery in the Wedgewood-Houston Neighborhood
Tuesday - July 19, 2016
Who knew as Nashville becomes more and more the "IT" city that we'd actually develop our own distillery district? With the influx of distillers into the area called the Wedgewood-Houston Neighborhood, this location is becoming known as the distillery district of Nashville.
The Wedgewood-Houston Neighborhood is a growing, trendy area a few blocks south of downtown. For anyone who has ever sat in rush-hour traffic, this is a welcome residential area. For vendors wanting a convenient location, the area is equally as attractive.
The Tennessean is reporting the sale of a building to our clients who will soon be opening Diskin Cider.

What will be the next alcohol law to change?
William T. Cheek IIIThe NBJ recently published an article about the future of alcohol law in Tennessee. After an historic few years, July 1 marked the day that WIGS went live. (To those of us in the industry, we refer to Wine In Grocery Stores as, WIGS.)
Nashville Business Journal reporter, Jacob Steimer, sat down with liquor law expert and BoneLaw attorney, Will Cheek, to discuss what's next.
Cheek offered some interesting insight into the Jan. 1 availability of high-gravity beer in grocery stores and discussed the pitfalls of wine on Sundays.
In summary, the next big battle will be liquor. At this time, you can go to the grocery store and buy wine, but you cannot purchase liquor.

Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival - September 24-25, 2016

We are so excited to see the lineup for this fall's Pilgrimage Festival. A client of BoneLaw, this event is in its second year and slated to be better than the first.
The Tennessean has a great article about what the planners learned from the inaugural event and changed made as a result. To read the article, click here.
An excerpt from the article:
What's new for year 2?
We talked to Pilgrimage Festival co-founders Kevin Griffin and Brandt Wood about what's new and improved about Pilgrimage in its second year:
It'll be easier to get a beverage: "We're putting a few more bars in, because people came thirsty," says Wood. "We noticed some (long) beer lines, and we were called out on it. We are going to fix that by adding more bartenders, more bars and the same great selection of craft beer, wine and spirits. We weren't sure how robust it needed to be, and it was impressive. People came out to party."
Griffin had to be talked into booking his own band, Better Than Ezra: "I didn't want it to be, 'Hey! I started a festival, and I'm playing!'" Griffin explains. "You know? In a spot (on the lineup) that's too high. I didn't want to give anybody any ammo (to criticize the festival), because I wanted to have a purity of the whole thing. This is what this (festival) is about. It's not about my performing career. But so many people said, 'We want you to play,' and I can get my band cheap." Read more. . .

Moonshine at Opry Mills?
Opry Mills Eyed for Tennessee's First Enclosed Retail Center Distillery
From: Nashville Post
In a move that could yield a first for Nashville and the state, Metro Councilman Jeff Syracuse is seeking to amend Metro's code to permit an artisan distiller to operate at Opry Mills mall.
Specifically, Syracuse's move involves an update to the code that regulates the city's various commercial attraction (CA) districts.
"We're doing due diligence to see if it's viable," said Syracuse, in whose District 15 the mall sits. "It would be a great amenity for Opry Mills."
At press time, the company had not consented to being identified, and its name is on no Metro or state documents. Syracuse, who declined to ID the company, said much work remains to be done on the effort. The Metro Planning Department has yet to finalize rezoning request documents.
"We are beginning the process of making sure from a zoning and building code perspective that all factors — such as ventilation and fire suppression systems — are considered," he said. Syracuse said officials with the Metro Planning and Codes departments are expected to meet later this week to discuss the issue.
Robert D. PinsonRob Pinson, a Bone McAllester Norton attorney with a focus on alcoholic beverage law, is representing the prospective distillery. He declined to disclose the identification of the company but noted it is not located in Tennessee.
"The company would like to offer flavored vodkas and moonshine," Pinson said. "They will rely heavily on foot traffic at the mall."
If it materializes, the distillery would be the first to operate within an enclosed mall in the state. In contrast, Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine distills at outdoor shopping center The Island in Pigeon Forge.
Davidson County is home to Corsair Artisan Distillery located in Wedgewood-Houston and Marathon Village, Nelson's Greenbrier, Nashville Craft Distillery, SPEAKeasy Spirits Distillery and Prichard's Distillery at Fontanel in Joelton. Metro has approximately 57 CA districts, all located within the general Opry Mills and Music Valley area in east Davidson County.

Masquerade Information

This includes, but is not limited to: Media Recreation (example Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Books, Anime, Buffy), Historical, Literary inspired and Original Designs. The contest spans all levels of craftsmanship and experience, from first-time participants to seasoned professionals.
The masquerade not only recognizes and rewards the time and skill costumers put into their works, but also how they present them on stage: from humorous skits to beautiful walk-ons.
The costumes must be self made, except in the Young Fan Division where it's okay to have mom or dad's help of course! Purchased, Commissioned, or Rented costumes are welcome to be shown on stage Out Of Competition, but are not eligible for any awards.
The Ad Astra Masquerade follows the Divisional System Guidelines set out by the International Costumers Guild.
This 4-class system has been in existence for over 20 years, rewarding the time and skill costumers at all levels put into their works, as well as how they present them on stage. It was developed for the World Science Fiction Convention – or Worldcon – by the best, most respected costume creators there are.
For more information please contact info@ad-astra.org
Masquerade Awards to be announced during the Saturday night Dance.
Ad Astra Masquerade Registration
All contestants must pre-register no later than 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Masquerade registration will be at in the Victoria Square room.
No messy, wet or icky substances that will make life difficult for the crew to clean up and for other contestants.
No flagrant nudity. "No Costume is No Costume". This masquerade is rated PG-13 and there will be children in the audience.
Presentations are limited to 60 seconds unless otherwise arranged before Saturday at 3:00 p.m. with the Masquerade Director.
No dangerous or potentially dangerous props will be allowed. No Sword fighting, projectile weapons, real firearms, pyrotechnics or live flame of any kind.

If you are unsure about your props or presentation please ask the Masquerade Director.
The weapons policy of the convention must be followed. Please transport your weapons to and from the masquerade in a bag or closed container if they do not conform to the convention weapons policy. While weapons will be allowed on stage, they must be sheathed before leaving the stage.
No purchased or rented costumes. These may be shown Out-Of-Competition.
Costumes with electric power requirements must be self-contained. Connections to electrical outlets will not be available.
No live creatures, other than human, will be allowed backstage or on stage. If your costume requires fauna such as snakes, ferrets etc, they must be stuffed or simulated. An exception to this rule will be made for seeing eye dogs, if the contestant requires this type of assistance.
Surprise the audience, but not the Masquerade Director. If you are planning something particularly "unique" please let us know in advance.
There will not be any microphones for the contestants. If you wish something special to be read by the MC please fill out the appropriate area on the masquerade registration form. Please turn in your USB stick with your masquerade registration form. Make sure you label the USB Stick with your name, costume title, and the correct song to be played. Please name the file with your name so it can be easily found by the tech people. Wav or MP3 format is preferred.
When exiting the stage please do not approach the judges.
The judges may choose not to give out a Best of Division Award, or may not give out any awards in a division if they do not feel any costumes entered in that division are deserving of an award. The decisions of the judges are final.
The Masquerade Directors reserve the option to eliminate anyone from competition on the basis of taste, danger to the audience or other contestants or for any other reason deemed sufficient.
WHEN IN DOUBT PLEASE ASK THE MASQUERADE STAFF, WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
Presentation Time Limits
Performers are asked to be mindful of the time limit. Please be considerate and try to keep within the designated time allotment. More is not always better and flagrant disregard for the time limit will count against you. Thankfully we have always had considerate participants in the past.
ALL ENTRIES HAVE A TIME LIMIT OF A MINUTE (60 SECONDS). ANY ENTRY THAT EXCEEDS THEIR TIME LIMIT WILL HAVE THEIR MUSIC AND LIGHTS CUT OFF AND THEY WILL BE ESCORTED FROM THE STAGE.
Introductions, Music & Sound
If you have any special introduction for the MC to read, please have it typed or printed clearly so it can be easily read. Without an introduction, the MC will announce only your entry number, division and title at the beginning of your presentation. After your presentation is complete, general credits will be announced. There will not be any microphones provided for the contestants. Directly addressing the audience is *strongly* discouraged as most of the audience will not hear you and this may distract from your presentation.
If you have narration or dialogue, an introduction, music or sound effects to accompany your presentation, pre-record it, and save it on a USB stick. Name the file with your name so it can be easily found by the tech people. Wav or MP3 format is preferred.
Make sure you (legibly) label the USB Stick with your name and filename to be played. If the sound runs longer than your presentation, or must be cut on cue, please be very specific as to when to cut. The usual cue is to fade the sound as the entrant leaves the stage. It is best, when you want the sound to end at a specific point on a track, is to record and edit the material you want before saving it to the USB stick. Do not submit valuable or rare original CDs. Submit one copy of your USB stick to Masquerade Registration when you complete your registration forms. If you have made a second copy, bring it backstage with you to the Masquerade. Materials used in the Masquerade can be picked up at the Masquerade Registration desk on Sunday.
Documentation can include any pictorial representation of your costume. Provide copies only; do not bring originals. It is strongly recommended that you provide documentation for re-creation costume entries if you feel the Judges may not be familiar with a particular Anime/Manga. If you are entering your costume for workmanship judging, bring two copies of your documentation.
Note: A contestant may compete in a Division higher than the one they are eligible to enter. Keep in mind that if the contestant wins in this higher Division, they must compete in that Division in future competitions.
Judging Divisions
The Standard Division System, in accordance with the International Costumers' Guild Guidelines, will be used as follows:
Junior Division (Also known as the Young Fan Division) Any contestant under 13 years of age at the time of this competition may compete in the Junior Division. The Junior Division is divided into two subdivisions.
Junior Self-made: A Junior contestant who has largely or wholly constructed his/her own costume.
Junior Adult-Made: A Junior contestant whose costume has been largely or wholly constructed by an adult.
Novice Division: A contestant who has not won a major award at a Masquerade other than as a Junior costumer. Workmanship Awards, an Honorable Mention or an Honored for Excellence Awards need not apply to this count.
Journeyman Division: A contestant who has won fewer than three awards at Masquerades while competing in the Journeyman Division.
Artisan Division: Any costumer who has won three or more awards; or who wishes to enter this division, provided that they do not belong in a higher division in use in the competition.
Master Division: A contestant who has won more than three times in the Artisan Division, or has won a Master award at a WorldCon, CostumeCon or a major award at a nationally recognized regional Anime Convention. Also, anyone who is a professional in a Costume-related business must compete as a Master. For the purpose of this competition, a professional is defined as making 50% or more of their income in the costuming-related business. If there are not sufficient Masters competing to fulfill this division, those entries will be judged in the Artisan Division.
Out-Of-Competition Division: The Masquerade is an amateur competition. Purchased or rented costumes may not be entered in competition for awards, but may be shown on stage in the Out-Of-Competition Division. Costumes made for business purposes, theatrical and professional events are not eligible for awards but also may be shown in this Division. In addition, anyone who wants to show their costume in this Division may do so.
Workmanship Judging: Judging for Workmanship Awards will take place backstage prior to the start of the Masquerade. These awards, for excellence in construction, will be given out in addition to the Masquerade awards. You can be judged on your costume or only on a specific piece or prop. Workmanship judging is optional, so please indicate on your entry form if you wish to be included in this judging. Workmanship applies to entries in any of the Divisions, except the Out-of-Competition Division. Quality is quality, no matter the Division, and a beautiful job deserves recognition. Our Workmanship Judge(s) will look for technical skill, finishing, fit, handling of fabric and materials, etc.

Progressives still insisting on "realistic" and "commonsense" health-care reform "are living in the political past," said Paul Rosenberg in Salon.com. If the old pragmatic assumptions about our politics still existed, Sanders "would never have won a single primary" in 2016, "and Donald Trump certainly wouldn't be president today." Americans "demand fundamental change." Just a few years ago, single payer was a fringe idea; now, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds, 53 percent of Americans support it.

I thought that once Christmas was over, I would get right back on track again. Actually, I did fairly well at Christmas. The week after Christmas at Weight Watchers or WW, as it is now called, I maintained. The next time I went to WW, which was two weeks later, I gained 3.6 pounds. This week, as in today, I didn't make it there because of a snowstorm in southern Ontario that kept me off the roads. That being said, I have not regained my passion or drive for losing weight and becoming more healthy.
One reason that I know for sure is depression. I have always been a depression eater. When I am depressed I have little resistance to every craving. It started with donuts. I had this irresistible, well it felt irresistible, craving for donuts in Hamilton (about 30 minutes away). This one donut shop makes their own donuts onsite as opposed to Tim Horton's. Donuts at Tim's are premade and warmed up, and you can tell the difference. I was experiencing a deep pit of depression and isolating in my apartment. I had stopped going to the YMCA, which actually helps relieve the feelings of depression, but I couldn't get myself out the door. I had literally run out of clean clothes to wear and didn't even have a bag large enough to get them to the laundry across the street. Using the laundry in the building would have taken days to finish all my laundry, so I felt trapped. It was at that point that I figured that if I could motivate myself to get out of the house to get a couple of these awesome donuts, then I could get a hockey bag to put my laundry in and then I could do my laundry. I made the trip to Hamilton, had my donuts and eventually found the hockey bag I needed. By the time I got home, though, I was exhausted. I had no energy to do my laundry that day. The next day, I was also having trouble getting myself moving, so I decided another trip to Hamilton made sense. I drove to Hamilton, bought four donuts this time and coffee. I noticed a coin laundry next door, but it was closed for some reason. So, I had to travel back home to my usual laundry. At least I got it done.
A few days later I had another chore to do, so I needed more inspiration. Once again I drove to Hamilton to buy more donuts. This time, though, I forked over $14 for a dozen donuts and coffee. My destination this time was actually in Toronto, a good 45 minutes away from Hamilton. As I drove to Toronto I munched on a few donuts. The sugar high had not hit me yet. When I got to my destination, I offered some donuts to my host. Of course, I felt better because I was not going to eat the entire dozen myself. By the end of that binge, though, I realized I was in serious trouble.
I returned to the Y one day and felt so much better, but the next day I woke up stiff and in pain. I had a good workout but there was a cost. Instead of doing the sensible thing and returning to the Y, I froze emotionally, then physically and did not return. Then came the nachos and by that point, I realized I was in serious trouble.
At this point I have the desire to lose weight and establish a healthy lifestyle. The truth, though, is that I do feel deprived sometimes when I want a slice or two of pizza or I crave a sweet dessert. I know, though, that sweets, for me, are the same as just a small glass of beer or booze to an alcoholic. One will is too much and a thousand will never be enough.

Why Niche Is Nice in Private Equity
Investment firms with hyper-niche strategies are cropping up amid concern that private-equity deal valuations are running high.

Private equity firms that target hyper-niche markets are offering investors a new avenue to park their cash amid increasing concern that too much money is flowing into funds with broader mandates, potentially hurting returns.
Take AUA Private Equity Partners, which targets companies owned by families or members of the Hispanic community, or One Way Ventures, which invests in businesses founded by immigrants and has raised about $16 million for its maiden fund, according to a document filed in November with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
They're offering under-the-radar strategies as investors pour money into private-equity funds, including buyout and venture capital. The fast pace of fundraising has made deal making more expensive, according to a Preqin report in October. Deal valuations were high at the end of September, according to PitchBook, which pegged them at 10.5 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
"We have a unique way of sourcing deals," said Andy Unanue, who founded AUA in 2012 and formerly served as chief operating officer of Goya Foods. "We haven't run up against much competition."
The firm, which has $275 million of assets under management, invests in companies that sell consumer products or services. Unanue said he's seen more investor interest in markets catering to the Hispanic population and expects them to expand.
"The Hispanic population is going to continue to grow," he said.
[II Deep Dive: BlackRock: Private Markets Still a Worthy Investment]
Eveline Buchatskiy, co-founder of One Way, said that the venture capital firm's "sense of purpose" in backing immigrant-owned companies has made fundraising easier. Bloomberg's venture capital fund, Bloomberg Beta, is among the investors in One Way's new investment pool, according to Buchatskiy, who immigrated to the U.S. from Brazil.
One Way, which was founded this year, is working with family offices on raising money for its second fund, she said, aiming to complete fundraising in March.
Other new investment firms targeting niche areas of the market have cropped in the past few years. Backstage Capital, for example, was founded in 2015 to invest in companies started by women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ — lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender — population.

My interview with Kevin White
On January 30, 2012 By Dan KennedyIn Politics
Photos © 1978, 2012 by Barbara Kennedy
One afternoon in late 1978, my future wife, Barbara Tanski, and I were ushered into a dark, comfortable room in the Parkman House, a city-owned mansion on Beacon Hill. I was a senior at Northeastern University, and I was there to interview Mayor Kevin White for the Cauldron, the school yearbook. Barbara took the photos.
As you have no doubt heard, White died on Friday night at the age of 82. The must-read is Brian Mooney's in-depth obituary for the Boston Globe. Also outstanding is this Hub Blog post by Jay Fitzgerald, who observes that White was the best of five consecutive good mayors.
In re-reading my Cauldron piece, I'm struck by how young White was. Just 49 years old at the time of our interview, he would walk away from public life at 53, and was rarely heard from again.
My story has a few cringeworthy moments, including some structural flaws I warn my students about. I've fixed a few typos. Other than that, here it is, exactly as it appeared in the 1979 Cauldron.
THIS IS THE CITY:
The Mayor talks about his city … where it is
today and where it'll be tomorrow
Kevin H. White sat down on a couch, balanced himself on the edge and pondered the comeback his city has made during the past five years.
"I think that a city is no different than a single individual inside of it," he said, pausing every few words for emphasis. "You can just be depressed for so long. And there are periods in which you get hysterical and upset."
As the 49-year-old mayor munched on cheese and crackers in the historic Parkman House on Beacon Hill, waiting for supper, he tried to explain the sense of optimism he sees infesting Boston today.
"I think that, probably, when you add in all of Vietnam, all the problems of Watergate, throw in busing — those are abnormal problems ladened on the problems of crime and taxes and those things that are normal. Then it does get you down.
"I think city people are particularly resilient and vibrant, and they can take the normal problems," White said. "It was the abnormal problems thrown on top of them that depressed them, that gave them a sense of malaise and despondency I think hung on the town as you came in in '74."
It was a hot, muggy day in late September 1974 when the Class of 1979 arrived at Northeastern. Many students were seeing the city for the first time and had no idea what to expect.
And it was a frightening, depressing time.
One month earlier, Richard M. Nixon had ended six years of shame by resigning his presidency to the first unelected chief executive in history, Gerald R. Ford.
The Vietnam debacle was still front-page news every day. American troops were gone, but the carnage they had helped create would not come to its chaotic conclusion for another eight months.
And there was busing. Day after day, public school students — the ones that bothered to go to class, anyway — pulled knives on classmates because they were of a different color. Grown men hurled bricks at buses filled with little children. Politicians such as John Kerrigan, Louise Day Hicks and Elvira "Pixie" Palladino railed against integration and promised to run Federal Judge W. Arthur Garrity, the man who ordered integration, out of town. One Friday night in October, a motorcade of South Boston mothers drove up Huntington Avenue, honking their horns and hollering racial epithets.
That's as close as racial violence ever came to Northeastern. As far as most students were concerned, that was close enough.
Many today would argue that the cynicism and bitterness of five years ago is still here. But there is little doubt that much of the fear is gone. To most people, that is reason enough to rejoice.
It's a cold, rainy Saturday morning, but inside it is warm. Opera music plays in the background of the elegant St. Stephen Street townhouse, while a grand piano commands the living room. It's not the sort of place you expect to find in the inner city, but the owner, chairman of the Fenway Project Area Committee (FenPAC), says he wouldn't live anywhere else.
"I think many of us in this area think the city's making a comeback," says E. Vaughn Gulo, who grew up on Symphony Road and has lived on St. Stephen Street the past 12 years. "I'm really more upbeat about what's going to happen in Boston than I've ever been in the past.
"We see improvements, we've been involved in improvements and we're planning improvements," continues Gulo, a professor of psychology in education at Northeastern. "There's a very definite upbeat. I think it's much more exciting now than before."
Yet, for all Gulo's optimism, there's a sense that, if certain things don't happen, Boston isn't going to be able to make it financially. Could Boston go the way of New York and Cleveland? White believes it could unless the city can change the way in which it collects its revenue.
Boston, like many older cities, depends exclusively on property taxes for revenue. Despite the current influx of younger people who are buying property in Boston to take advantage of depressed land values, White believes there will only be a "minor temporary high" in raising property tax revenue.
White's assessment is correct, according to the Office of Economic Research of the Massachusetts Department of Commerce and Development. Its statistics show that Boston's population grew from 616,000 in 1965 to 638,000 in 1975.
However, the same statistics show that the population is expected to drop to 620,000 by 1980, 616,000 by 1990 and 608,000 by 2000. A city that depends as heavily on property taxes as Boston cannot afford to see its tax base dwindling.
"If you depend on property value, you're in trouble," said White, claiming that Boston's tax base is lower today than it was in 1930 — the peak of the Depression. "But if you can get off it, if you can get off that intravenous feeding, you can get up and walk around."
The solution, according to the mayor, is to reduce the property tax burden and introduce sales taxes to take advantage of Boston's economic growth. He's failed before. Several years ago, he attempted to tax nonresidents who work in the city, but the Legislature thwarted him. This time, however, he thinks it will be different. Residents and businesses will favor it, he said, because tourists and commuters will share the burden and because their property taxes will grow.
White citied Faneuil Hall Marketplace as an example. Although the city did all the work in restoring the historic market into what it is today, he said, the state collects many times more revenue from it than Boston does. The reason is that the state can collect sales and income taxes, while the city may take only property taxes.
Of course, Faneuil Hall Marketplace is more than just a symbol of Boston's tax problems. During its renovation between 1976 and 1978, it became a symbol of the city's revitalization.
The Quincy Market, North Market and South Market, as the marketplace's three buildings are known, built by Mayor Josiah Quincy in 1826, are today the city's most popular attraction, with thousands of people visiting the area every day.
Admirers have called it one of the crowning achievements of White's 11-year administration. But detractors believe it symbolizes the misoriented priorities of the city government.
State Sen. Joseph P. Timilty believes that downtown expansion such as Faneuil Hall Marketplace has been achieved at the expense of the neighborhoods. Boston's leaders "have always judged the quality of the vitality of the city by the changes in the skyline," according to the 40-year-old Mattapan Democrat, who nearly defeated White in the 1975 mayoral election.
"Boston's a city that's made up of neighborhoods, and Boston's got to understand it," said Timilty, who is the chairman of the National Commission of Neighborhoods — a position President Carter appointed him to after Timilty helped on his 1976 campaign.
The administration frustrates neighborhood organizations, he said, because "they see it as a threat" rather than as a means of buttressing and administering neighborhood programs. He advocates involvement of private enterprise in developing jobs and housing in neighborhoods.
"We have to develop our neighborhoods as well as develop our downtown," he said. "There's too much government. And government has become a bastion of employment for social theorists, rather than government programs getting down to where the people can use the assets of the program."
It is a criticism White has heard before, and he reacts angrily whenever he hears it.
"In 10 years we spent eight times more money in the neighborhoods than we did downtown, and I defy anyone to show differently," he said, adding that his administration has built more neighborhood schools, libraries and police stations than any mayor in Boston's history, including James Michael Curley.
"Now I'll give you another figure," he went on. "We spent one-on-one on downtown as against only Roxbury. That means I spent as much money in Roxbury as I spent all of downtown." Indeed, several years ago, members of the white backlash movement dubbed him "Mayor Black" for his involvement in the black neighborhoods.
Gulo believes that, no matter what the White administration is doing elsewhere in the city, it certainly isn't ignoring his neighborhood.
"I think the city administration has taken more note of it than it ever has in the past," he said. "It's a unique part of Boston. I think that through our efforts over the past four or five years, we've brought the attention of the city to bear so that the various problems that the entire area confronted are being addressed one way or another."
Housing for low- and moderate-income people is being developed on Symphony Road and Westland Avenue, alleys have been widened, trees have been planted, streets have been patched up. Those are the kind of improvements Gulo cited.
But he acknowledged that the city is still plagued by a woeful lack of good housing for all classes of people. Unemployment, trash, crime, poor public education and inadequate transportation are just some of the other serious problems that must be addressed, he added.
And until those problems are taken care of, Boston will continue to lose people like Diane Whitehead and Tony Fernandez to the suburbs.
"I guess it bothers me more now, after I've lived with it for four years, in that I wanted to learn about it. I wanted to put myself in the middle of it to find out what was going on, and so, since I was looking for that, I guess it didn't bother me. I'm ready for a quieter neighborhood, I think."
The speaker was Diane Whitehead, 79 LA, the residence assistant at 122 St. Stephen St. Her situation is unique. She transferred to Northeastern from Colby College in Maine so she could see urban problems up close.
"I had chosen to go away from the city," she said. "After a year, I still knew that I wanted to go into some line of social services or psychology or something related to people. And I found that I didn't have the ability to talk easily with people anymore, because I spent so much time with academics. I mean, I made lots of friends, and it was really beautiful up there, but I was getting very, very far away from all the issues that I wanted to deal with and cope with by going into social services. It was very isolated — and insulated. I guess I was afraid of losing touch with what's really happening."
Although Whitehead had a small-town upbringing — her parents live in Foxborough, Mass., 25 miles south of Boston — she had spent time in the city as a youth, taking tours and working on research projects. So she was better prepared than many to handle the problems of urban living.
Still, there are some things that she's never gotten used to.
"I think you have to learn how to deal with walking down the street and just getting remarks and comments," she said. "You do get approached if you're female." The fact that she's never been stopped or robbed doesn't make her feel any easier. "I keep waiting for the time. It's been this long. I think my number's due fairly soon," she said, adding that she rarely goes out alone at night.
"Once you start being naive," she added, "it's going to catch up with you at some point."
Whitehead said she would always like to stay near the city. But how near would depend on her personal life. After she graduates, she said she would like to move to a neighborhood such as Brighton. But in five years, when she might be raising a family, she will probably leave the city altogether, she said.
Tony Fernandez, 82 E, came to Northeastern to get a degree in chemical engineering after he had already earned a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Florida.
"I really couldn't find a job," said the 32-year-old Florida native and Army veteran. "Finally, I just came to the conclusion that maybe I should go on back to school."
Although Fernandez finds much about Boston that he likes, he quickly found something he didn't like — crime. In September 1978, only six months after he had arrived here, he was robbed at knifepoint by two youths who accosted him in the lobby of 122 St. Stephen St., forced him up to his apartment and stole several things from him, including a family religious medal.
The youths ordered him to show up on Opera Place the next day with a brown bag full of cash. Fernandez informed the police, a stake-out was set up and one of the youths was arrested. But Fernandez never did get his stolen goods back.
He said that incident hasn't influenced his opinion of Boston, but added he doesn't want to live here after he graduates.
"I've never lived in any kind of a city like this before," he said, although he was stationed in New York City during part of his Army hitch. "As an experience, it's nice, but I'd kind of like to own my own house." He added that he isn't used to noise and air pollution, either.
Students such as Whitehead and Fernandez think that the problems of urban living may eventually force them to leave the city. But some residents feel that students, and the institutions they attend, are a major cause of problems.
Even the mayor, who says students are good for the city because they support the theater, the arts and the social scene, finds some of the problems they cause annoying. Students who live in residential areas frequently make too much noise, he said. He had especially harsh words for Northeastern students.
"That street, Huntington Avenue, is a pigpen," he said. "I run in the Huntington YMCA every morning between 6 and maybe 8:30. And that guy with the sweeping bucket's got that place clean at 7 in the morning. By 10, it's chaos."
Colleges and universities take a lot of the city's land and don't pay taxes, he added. Yet the state hasn't come through with the aid to private colleges that voters approved in 1974. Instead of the colleges and the city battling, White said, they should work together to get help from the state for aid to the colleges and tax relief to the cities.
Timilty advocates an "adoption" plan, in which each university, college and hospital in the city would take the responsibility of using their expertise to develop housing, education and jobs in each of the city's neighborhoods.
Northeastern, like all institutions, "is going to have to do more for the community that surrounds it," he said.
But White said such a plan is already in effect for many types of services. Hospitals work with neighborhood health clinics and churches work with people, he said, adding that, during desegregation, the colleges and universities pitched in by helping the school districts improve their educational offerings.
"We didn't know Joe [Timilty] was going to call it an adoption policy or we would have waited for him," White said. "Now what the hell is Joe talking about?"
Gulo said he is skeptical about an adoption plan because "you can be too adopted, you can be co-opted, you can be so little adopted that you could be rejected." If Northeastern were to adopt the Fenway, he said, it might decide to force residents out and develop more student housing.
The current Memorandum of Understanding that FenPAC and Northeastern are working under, he said, is the strongest possible basis for cooperation between an institution and a neighborhood. Under the agreement, Northeastern promises not to expand into residential areas and to eventually pull out of some residential areas in which it presently holds land.
Gulo said he sees more promise in group action FenPAC is currently negotiating with the Boston Fenway Plan, made up of 20-25 institutions, including Northeastern, to help renovate and develop housing and other projects, he said, adding that the Fenway Plan members would provide consultants, bankers and other technical assistance, and FenPAC would provide planning and advice.
"All of the institutions and the elected members of the community will be working together in this area to bring it up," Gulo said.
People who moved to Boston might say they live in Boston. But a native would never think of saying such a thing. He may live in South Boston, or the North End, or Roslindale, or Roxbury, or Brighton. But only late-comers live in Boston.
Boston's neighborhoods have been set apart from each other by ethnicity, parish and geography. The distinctness of each frequently surprises newcomers who are more accustomed to unified cities.
Timilty believes the distinctness of the neighborhoods is Boston's best hope for the future.
"The only way that you have a viable neighborhood community is when you have a certain level of respect and pride for that community," he said.
He cited a Christian Science Monitor poll which showed that, in many cities, residents who don't like the way their city is being run "still thought there was an element of pride left in their neighborhoods.
"We ought to encourage that," he added, "because it makes it more attractive to live."
White also said he believes neighborhoods are a strong asset to Boston because they provide "roots and history and heritage and pride, so it gives you solidity and strength."
However, the very distinctiveness of the city's neighborhoods has led to isolation, he said, and when a problem comes up in which all neighborhoods should work together, it can create a crisis — desegregation being the best example.
"If you're a progressive mayor, as I think I am, and you're always pushing your city, then you're always antagonizing them," said White. You're kicking, you're pushing, you're cajoling them.
"Most mayors," he added, "want to smile at them and follow them and wave at them, or follow the pattern of their flow. These neighborhoods flow only inside of themselves. So the strength is one thing. The weakness is — boy, tough to move sometimes."
For many students, their time in Boston has been a time of discovery, of a city and of themselves.
"I love Boston because it's got a lot of European influence, because it's a small city, because the buildings have been kept low or enough buildings have been kept low so you can see the sky when you're walking around," said Whitehead.
"And everything is here," she added. "I go to the July Fourth thing every year, I go to all the things at the Hatch Shell. I've been to the Shakespeare theater, the Museum of Science, art museum, the Prudential Center. I saw the marathon last year. I go to the Christmas tree lighting every year."
Although she plans to leave in a few years, she isn't read to leave yet.
"I'm not tired of Boston yet," she said. "There are so many things I haven't gotten out of Boston that I know are just sitting there to be taken advantage of. I'm not going to leave before I take advantage of them."
Fernandez, too, plans to enjoy it while he's here. His special interest is long-distance running, and he said Boston offers more to runners than any place he's been to.
"Up here, there's so many [races] to choose from," he said, adding that his high point was running in the city's Labatt's race Oct. 1, 1978. "I've never seen such variety. All different lengths, from one mile up to marathon length."
The cultural assets of the city are another advantage, he said.
"One thing that's nice," he said, "you live right down the street from Symphony Hall. Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops." This past Christmas, Fernandez' mother came up from Florida to visit. They went to the Pops' Christmas concert — something his mother had seen many times before on television — and it was one of the highlights of the holiday, he said.
It is Gulo, the Boston native, who is best at describing the charm of the city.
"It's got many problems, but I think the city's really coming up," he said. "I've traveled around the world. I've been to Africa, Western Europe, Italy ten times, Moscow, Canada, Mexico City, you name it. But to me, Boston is unique. It's got all the institutions, it's the center of culture. It's the educational, the medical hub.
"For a little town, it's got the intimacy that Chicago, New York, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth don't have," he added, saying that he knows of people who have moved away from Boston to live in the suburbs and have come back because they miss it.
"Bostonians are very parochial," he concluded, grinning. "They love their city."

Thanks for sharing this, Dan! White's opening quote is particularly striking.
Bob Drake
Thanks Dan. It's always nice to read a retrospective written by someone who was actually around at the time.
Perhaps, I'm getting older, but increasingly I'm aware that the reporting that I'm consuming lacks a certain "steeping" that occurs when one lives in an area for more than a decade.
Although well educated and intentioned, too many reporters do not have the experience or grounding to write such sentences.
Ah – the good old days. I'll add my realization of how tawdry the city used to look.

Heat the pan for two minutes over a medium setting, then cook and rinse with hot water. Dry thoroughly. When frying in a nonstick-coated pan for the first time, or after the pan has been cleaned in the dishwasher, prepare the pan as follows: 1. Add enough oil to cover the base of the pan. 2. Heat the oil gently and turn the pan to cover the side walls. 3. Remove the pan from the heat, let it cool, and clean it with a paper towel. 4. Add some more oil, fat or butter, and begin cooking as normal. 5. Season the food only after searing on the hot surface. 6. Turn food only when the surface has seared and it easily released. 7. Reduce the temperature after searing. Every piece of cookware is manually inspected several times during manufacture to ensure the strictest quality standards are maintained.

Euro zone slowdown, but not for long?
A slowdown in euro zone business growth at the start of the second half of 2017 could put paid to expectations of a stimulus clawback by the European Central Bank later this year. Laura Frykberg reports.
Business is still booming in the euro zone.. But not quite at the same pace. July's Markit PMI fell to 55.8 from last month's 56.3. Still above the 50 level, separating growth from contraction. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GLOBAL FINANCIAL ECONOMIST, COMMERZBANK, PETER DIXON, SAYING: "I think that over the course of the next few weeks and months European central banks in particular will be extremely cautious. But I think it's fair to say that you know even if we get some moderation of growth we're still far away from the kind of crisis conditions that prevailed in 2008 2009." The large manufacturing economies missed expectations in July. With French business activity slowing to a six-month low. And Germany's private sector also stalling. PMI's show it falling to a six month low to 55.1 in July. Suggesting the euro zone's savior has come from elsewhere. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GLOBAL FINANCIAL ECONOMIST, COMMERZBANK, PETER DIXON, SAYING: "Let's not forget that the euro zone economy is more than just manufacturing it's about services it's about domestic demand. And we are seeing some indications that domestic activity is beginning to recover. So I guess that should offset any weakness that we might anticipate on the manufacturing side." That domestic demand has led to a more positive IMF forecast.. Predicting stronger than expected euro zone growth in 2018. A more valuable euro could hinder exports though. The currency hitting a 23-month high on Monday, against an ailing dollar.

A team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by Nicole Laframboise, is here this week for a series of meetings.
The team, which last visited the island back in June, has already held meetings with Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler and other Government officials.
The visit, which has been described as "routine", comes against the backdrop of recent calls for the Freundel Stuart administration to enter into a new structural adjustment arrangement with the Washington-based institution.
However, Government has not given any such indication to date, while it continues to rely on the IMF for technical support in reforming the domestic tax system and in pursuing urgent fiscal consolidation strategies.
Good. HeKnows with the Sink have no choice but to take advice from IMF and do what is best for the citizens of Barbados. I hope the IMF team do their homework and. realise, HeKnows is always Sleeping and is only fully conscious when he receive his salary, three square meals and go abroad to attend the no way conferences. After the all that weight on his suit, it's back to Nodland.

A: babel-node is "not meant for production use".  There is a more relevant guide here for using @babel/cli, @babel/core and @babel/preset-env.
The babel dependencies should all be installed as devDependencies and you should transpile your code during in a build script run before Heroku prunes the devDependencies. See this guide
If you move all of your es6 code into a common directory like src at the top level of your app, you can create a build script to transpile everything in that directory to an output directory like build.
"build": "npm run clean && npm run build-babel",
"build-babel": "./node_modules/.bin/babel -d ./build ./src",
"clean": "rm -rf build && mkdir build",

In the example above, the build script will be run automatically by Heroku.  clean will create a new build directory, and build-babel will transpile the code and place it in the build directory.  After this is completed, Heroku will prune the devDependencies, but you will no longer need Babel.
When Heroku calls start below, it will be running your transpiled code.  You should no longer see sh: 1: babel-node: not found.
"scripts": {
  "build": "npm run clean && npm run build-babel",
  "build-babel": "./node_modules/.bin/babel -d ./build ./src",
  "clean": "rm -rf build && mkdir build",
  "start": "node ./build/bin/www"
},

One potential gotcha, Do not call build from your start script.  If you do, the devDependencies will have been pruned and you will get the following
sh: 1: babel: not found

A: A little bit late, but here is what I think you are missing:
Step (1): npm install --save babel-cli babel-preset-env in terminal
Note on step 1: Do not save to dev as that will require you to set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false
Step (2): You are not compiling anything to babel without adding in the babel boilerplate and or using a babelrc file. Easiest method is to make a .babelrc file in your main app folder, ie. same one your package.json is in and input the following:
 {
  "presets": ["env"]
}

Note on step 2: With the usage of the env preset you do not need the babel-preset-es2015, etc
Step (3): You can now run your code using babel-node, so in your case execute your start script, ie. ./node_modules/.bin/babel-node ./bin/www
I suggest reading through the NPM module if you need further guidance understanding the preset logic: https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-preset-env
Furthermore, I would suggest using a process manager like pm2. This allows your node instance to keep alive if it crashes. The forever module used to do this but pm2 is way better. Here is an example of a start script inside your package.json:
"scripts": {
    "start": "node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start main.json --attach --env production"
  }
Procfile (note, I am using nginx but just npm start would work fine):
web: bin/start-nginx npm start
worker: node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start worker.json --attach

And here would be your main.json with args to use babel-node (note, keep instance to 1 and do not fork on a web dyno in Heroku):
main.json:
{
  "name": "the_awesome",
  "script": "app.js",
  "instances": 1,
  "exec_mode": "cluster"
}

worker.json:
{
  "name": "worker",
  "script": "/app/lib/worker.js"
}

(4) Add a require('babel-register') hook to your app.js and worker.js if you are using pm2 in cluster mode. If you are using pm2 not in cluster mode, or just not using pm2 then you can use babel-node directly to run your .js or es6 files
Finally, to check if babel-node is really installed you can do the following:
 heroku run bash -a {name of your app}
 ls ./node_modules/.bin //babel-node should be present

Good luck!
