editorial
MAYOR TOM MENINO
The passing this week of former, long-time Boston Mayor Thomas Menino truly
removes from our lives a man whose devotion to his city and its people was second
to none.
The incredible outpouring of genuine sadness and respect expressed by persons
from all walks of life and from stations high and low bore witness to the feelings of
mutual love and respect that all of us felt toward Tom Menino.
It does not take rocket science to be a mayor of a city -- even one as diverse and
as complicated as a large city such as Boston -- but it does require a dedication to the
proposition that being mayor means that it is your job to make sure that everyone is
treated with respect, that everyone's voice will be heard, and that everyone's legitimate
needs will be met to the greatest extent possible.
Tom Menino strived toward only one goal -- to make Boston the greatest city on the
planet. For him, being Mayor was not about the trappings of the office, or personal
aggrandizement, or any of the usual reasons that make some people seek political
office that typically are related to self-interest.
Rather, Tom Menino knew, as did the people of Boston for election-after-election,
that he was the best person for the job because no one cared more about the city, and
would devote himself to bettering the lives of its people, more than he would. That
simple, basic fact was evident in everything he did and in the manner in which he
conducted himself while in office.
Tom Menino was a wonderful human being. That's as simple as it gets.
May he rest in peace.
Menino (from pg. 1)
Black
dened by the mayor’s passing. He was
a wonderful man who gave so much of
himself to the city of Boston and he will
be greatly missed by those of us on Beacon
Hill as well as people throughout the rest
of the city.”
Rob Whitney, a long-time Beacon Hill
Civic Association board member and
founding member of the Friends of the
Phillips Street Play Area, said that Mr.
Menino “was always a strong advocate
on behalf of all the neighborhoods, particularly for neighborhood green spaces.”
“He was particularly helpful with
the renovation and rehabilitation of the
Phillips Street Play Area. He was always
in favor of expanding public green space
and play areas for kids on Beacon Hill and
throughout the city.”
Elizabeth Vizza, executive director of
the Friends of the Public Garden, also
praised the mayor and his administration’s
work on parks, community gardens, and
recreational areas.
“We’ve lost an incredible champion for
green space in Boston,” said Vizza. “This
mayor was a supporter of our parks,
our community gardens, and our floral
displays along the streets. He was a great
champion for the work of green space and
how important it is to the lives of every
neighborhood in Boston.
Vizza said the mayor often attended
Friends of the Public Garden events.
“The mayor came to our events. He
was there for our grand opening of the
Brewer Fountain Plaza area in 2012. He
was front and center for that celebration. The primary mover of the fountain
restoration was the city and the parks
department. We worked with the mayor
in expanding the renovation to include
the entire plaza and to activate it so the
Friends worked very closely in partnership
with the parks department on that major
transformation of the south corner of the
Mayor Menino at the announcement of
a new elementary school on Commercial
Street in the North End.
Common.”
Vizza recalled that Mr. Menino participated in the ribbon cutting for the fountain and the grand-opening celebration
for the plaza in May, 2012. She said his
support of the organization will be missed.
“This is a sad time for Boston,” said
Vizza. “We were looking forward to Mr.
Menino being an active and effective
post-mayor. He had a lot of love for not
only the city but for how cities can work
when they work well together. We in the
green space were looking forward to having his voice for years to come so it’s a very
sad time.”
Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim
praised Mr. Menino’s leadership of the city
and his dedicated service to all residents.
“Mayor Menino was a giant in our city
and an inspiration to all,” said Zakim.
“His leadership in fighting for equality for
all Bostonians demonstrated his dedication to every resident and neighborhood
across the city. His love and commitment
to Boston extended even beyond his time
in public office, and his legacy is one that
will not be forgotten.”
Downtown View (from pg. 1)
tout Boston’s characteristics —the best universities in the world, devoted sports fans,
deep history and most of all, a place so innovative that it has a 1,000 acre Innovation
District, and entrepreneurs so cutting edge
that they lurk in micro-apartments, starting
companies, taking them public and making
a killing.
If we’re so innovative and entrepreneurial, then why aren’t we all behind bringing
the Olympics to Boston? It is the quintessential entrepreneurial venture. And it requires
innovation. Of course it will cost zillions, be
a big mess, and we may have to pay off the
Olympic Committee if we want to get the
nod.
That’s what entrepreneurs do. They take
big risks. They can lose oodles of money,
much of it belonging to other people. They
might fail. They face problems. They can get
scammed.
I know because I once was an entrepreneur. I started a newspaper. I wrote a business plan. But I was scared of the unknowns.
What if my costs outran my income? What
if I had forgotten something? What if I were
sued by the subject of a news story? What
if it were too much to handle? How do you
handle payroll anyway?
I even had to deal with corruption. A distributor phoned, threatening that if I didn’t
use his company, he’d make sure I failed. (I
asked him to fax over a bid, and he never
did. Bullies have a hard time following up.)
Despite my anxiety, I went ahead. I
wouldn’t find out if it worked unless I took
serious risks. I consoled myself by saying it
is only money. A couple of evenings I cried.
Gradually, things got easier. I actually
made money. My employees got health care
through the newspaper, since a business that
can’t afford health care for its employees
isn’t much of a business. Four employees
were able to buy houses based on their earnings. My venture had been successful.
Bringing the Olympics to Boston isn’t
different, except in scale, from any entrepreneurial effort.
The effort stands now at the business
plan stage. John Fish and his cohorts are
putting on the finishing touches, investigating aspects of what an Olympic bid entails
and how the Olympics would work in
Boston. The information they have gathered
will be valuable. But, like all entrepreneurial
ventures, this one has risks.
Many writers point them out. One letter
to the editor in the Boston Globe inexplicably claimed that because Boston’s streets are
not based on a grid, the city can’t handle
such an event.
Other opponents point out real problems.
They point out that cities have lost money,
and that expensive structures, purpose-built,
have had to be demolished. Writers point out
the extreme costs, expected and non-expected, of such a pageant. Predictions are dire:
the city will lose tourists, money, pride, and
the ability to move around during the games.
We’ll be distracted from addressing other
needed matters. The Olympic Committee
is corrupt and won’t treat us fairly. (This is
when our former governor, Mitt Romney,
with his Olympic experience, could come in
handy.) Proponents and opponents differ on
whether London made out well or terribly,
but opponents are certain that Boston will
suffer greatly.
If we’re such an entrepreneurial city, why
are we so afraid of the real risks the opponents point out? If we’re so smart, why do
we think we can’t solve the problems that
will arise? World class? World Class cities
dream big dreams and take risks.
It will be costly. Most important ventures
are. Remember the doomsday group that
opposed burying the Central Artery? They
were right — it was expensive and difficult.
But where would we be today had we taken
their advice?
Bringing the Olympics to Boston will
be risky. It will cost more than we budget for it. It will disrupt us as we build
it, and it will disrupt us while it is going
on. Somebody will have to fight with the
Olympic Committee along the way.
I don’t know, if we are chosen, whether
things will turn out badly or well. I do know
that taking a risk and prevailing is one of the
most satisfying things a person, and a city,
can do. And remember, it is only money.

Tom Kershaw has long been
considered the founder of the tradition to dress the picturesque gas
lamp poles for the holidays, first
completed on Charles Street by the
Beacon Hill Business Association
over 25 years ago. In 1998, the
idea to decorate all residential
streets was born, and the Beacon
Hill Civic Association joined the
holiday decorating team. It was
then that Kershaw decided his gift
to the community would be an
annual cocktail party which he
would sponsor to help the Beacon
Hill Civic Association raise funds.
Lisa Macalaster, Pinckney Street
resident and lead vocalist of the
band HoneyMac, and pianist
Richard Pierce will serenade the
crowd as they play popular tunes
and holiday favorites. The night
will also include a drawing for a

businesses such as restaurant gift
cards, event tickets, clothing items,
and more.

Historic building (from pg. 1)
concerns presented by residents
who came to oppose the proposed
demolition.
Why, then, did the BHAC commissioners give the go-ahead to
the demolition?
Because, they said, it was not in
their purview.
In the BHAC decision letter to
the applicant, William S. Young,
assistant director for historic
districts, wrote that the façade’s
replacement was acceptable
because it is neither historic, being
only 20 years old, nor architecturally significant.
Therefore the commissioners
did not deliberate upon opposing
arguments by neighbors present
because they were inapplicable to
the commission’s purview, Young
wrote, warning that the approval
was “not to be construed as a
precedent for the demolition or
significant alteration of elevations
of greater age or aesthetic distinction which may be unsound and
in need of intervention.”
Young’s words surprised homeowners who had thought all properties in the Historic Beacon Hill
District are subject to BHAC
review, regardless of age.
What, then, does constitutes a
historic building on Beacon Hill?
“The historic district law
applies to all architectural features
visible from a public way, and
new construction is also subject to
architectural review,” said Mark
Kiefer, the president of the Beacon
Hill Civic Association who until
recently represented Beacon Hill
on the BHAC. “But whether a
feature is considered significant,
on the other hand, can be more a
matter of judgment and opinion,
particularly in the case of more
recent architecture.”
Among other factors, the
Architectural Guidelines instruct
the BHAC to consider the historical and architectural value and
significance within the context of
other involved structures in the
neighborhood when adjucating
proposed changes to the exteriors
of buildings.
Architectural
significance
is often attributed to buildings
designed by an important architect, said Kiefer, or those providing a particularly good illustration
of a notable period in the history
of architecture. He cited as examples Charles Bulfinch’s Harrison
Gray Otis houses, widely regarded as iconic examples of Federal
architecture, and the MiddletonGlapion House at 5 Pinckney, one
the oldest houses on the Hill and
a rare survivor among the many
wood-framed buildings built by
the North Slope’s early African
American community. But significance is also a matter of degree,
he added, and important historic resources exist in many lesser-known buildings.
When forming the Beacon Hill
Historic District in the 1950s,
community leaders created a survey to rank buildings of local,
regional and national significance.
“Even this relatively systematic
attempt to identify significance
clearly had its shortcomings,” said
Kiefer. “At that time the African
Meeting House was ranked as
only of local significance, even
though we now recognize that it
played a profoundly important
role in the history of the nation.”
It showed that even an attempt
to make a survey is filled with
flaws.”
Beacon Hill’s historic district
boundaries were expanded over
time to protect the whole neighborhood by including all of it
the Historic District, exempting
only buildings within 40 feet
of Cambridge Street and those
owned by Suffolk University on
Hancock, Derne and Temple
Street. Occasionally, though, the
BHAC has overseen the design
of buildings only partially in the
district, such as 326 Cambridge
Street.
Carriage houses and stables,
like those that once distinguished
Beaver Place, have rarely survived over the years, according to
Kiefer. In 1993, the then-owner of
7 and 11 Beaver Place took down
the wooden façade ostensibly to
restore it. Because there was not a
brick wall behind the clapboards,
the building collapsed.
The BHAC then gave its
approval to rebuild a continuous
brick façade over the buildings
with symmetrical architectural
treatments that exist today. The
demolition and replacement of the
façade and architectural changes approved last month would
break that continuous façade and
disrupt the symmetry of the twin
buildings. Young wrote in the
decision letter that the two would
have a clear visual relationship.
Kiefer believes it was incumbent on the BHAC to ask the
applicant to go back to the drawing board to find less destructive
and invasive ways to repair the
structure from the inside of the
building.
“One of the biggest threats
to historic preservation today is
destruction of more recent architectural resources,” warns Kiefer.
“The challenge is to identify those
buildings and features that will
prove to be important, in hindsight, many years from now.”

the time this home was built, a light like this would have been a most
welcome glow for passersby. Where Boston streets were lit, it was by
oil lamps. In his book Boston, 1822-1922, author John Koren wrote,
“A committee charged with the study of the lighting question reported in 1834 that the ‘lamps were very ill distributed and gave a feeble
light.’”

The Esplanade Association hosted its
6th Annual Canine Promenade, at the
Charles River, Esplanade, on Oct. 26.
Channel 7 News Anchor Sarah French,
dressed as a cheerful Minnie Mouse,
was the grand marshal of the half-parade around Fiedler Field. “I want to
thank everyone for being in the spirit of
Halloween and dressing up,” said Tori
Marinovich, interim executive director.
“The Esplanade is a fantastic resource for
dogs. The Esplanade Association works
to make life better in the park.”The
fundraiser highlighted the park as a
resource for dog owners, and raised
awareness about park improvements,
such as the renovation of the grass and
the installation of a new irrigation system
in front of the Hatch Shell. Gift bags and
doggie treats were provided by Pawsh
Dog Boutique, Zen Animal Massage
demonstrated pet massage techniques,
local pet portrait artist, Pawblo Picasso,
offered illustrations of attendees’ pups,
and dogs could dunk their snouts in a
tub to bob for hot dogs. Some 115 dogs,
wearing Oreo cookie, tiger, and cowboy
costumes, were registered for the parade.
Families and their dogs wore matching
costumes, like The Muppet gang, raced
along the river as Batman and Superman,
and brought vibrancy to the fall day.
