1 tr :l Printed in the Spirit of the Mid-Town Journal and Dedicated to Preserving the Pride, ntegrity, Tradition amd Memories of our Beloved West End 1 l VOLUME 13, NO 3 CRC: 4,150 FAMLES -BROKEN PROMSES n A 40 year trail of broken promises leading to the Archdiocese of Boston This time there is nobody to blame but Father Groden and the Planning Office of Urban Affairs, n2 Rappaport n2 cntof Boston Just Father Groden, Father Groden Father Groden of Bostons Planning Office of Urban Affairs: We have blamed the City of Boston and HUD but they are only doing what Fr Groden wants The planning office had 5 people on Meninos transition team that we know of, including Mark Maloney They have stiffened Menino so that he would not let us get a majority of West Enders in the building (un- der 50%) The magic number is 50% am continuously asked why that is the magic number Not 20% or 70% - why only 50%? Because ifthey gave us less it would sound unreasonable Most of the 50% are market value units, which most West Enders cannot afford Much like the ploy Charles River Park used to shut us out of the area Fr Groden seems to be a Rappaport clone The carrying costs at,west End Place for a $100,000 unit are artificially high at $1400 a month Too much for most of us to affbrd By pricing us out of the market West Enders have been picketing the Planning Office of Urban Affairs which is headed by Fr Groden Shown ( 1 tor) are Paul Joltki, Arthur Venditti, Francis Rothwell and James Campano in front of the office at 185 Devonshire Street in Boston value apartments we will end up with only 20-30% of the project This allows Fr Groden and company to keep control of the management and service contracts The planning office and Fr Groden claim by suing for preference in Federal Court that we have broken our contract with them and they dont have to hand over the museum and offices to the Old West End Housing Corp and 4t tsf nber P 0 BOX413 SOMERVLLE, MA (617) lace a The West Ender They also have stopped funding us We probably would have done better with Rappaport Their lawyers have been proactive in the preference suit nstead of sitting on the sidelines trying to protect their interests if anything spilled over, they have fought tooth and nail to stop the preference from going to West Enders while the city and HUD have sat complacently on the side in an exact reversal of what should be happening They have poured money, time and effort into the fight to make sure we would be pushed out of this project This is not about religion, this is about politics on the Archdiocese level t is a throwback to the Msgr Lally years, who was more interested in politics than cleric duties Fr Groden is cut from the r same cloth a power broker want to make one thing perfectly clear This is not about being Catholic or parish priests There are plenty of good priest on the parish level Father Bucke at St Josephs is one whom deeply respect Fr Bucke took me to task Q{ef,JPY lasr,article aboot Father Groden and the Archdiocese t hurts me to be chastised by him Father Bucke is an example of one priest who always tries to do the best for his community But must speak out about the abuse of power on the Archdiocese level Power politics should not be on a clergymans agenda Please do not take this as a condemnation of the Catholic Church, only a condemnation of Archdiocese politics on the secular level dont know if people remember but Msgr Lally was head of the BRA in the 50s and 60s A priest who led the charge to destroy the West End, and if Fr Groden is listening, WEST END PLACE WAS SUPPOSED TO BRNG CLOSURE AND RECONCLE WEST ENDERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFCALS AFTER THE HORRORS OF THE FFTES THAT WERE DONE BY THE GOVERNMENT AGENCES TO WEST ENDERS (continued on page 2)
