B-4 THE RECORD ir BERGENHUDSON FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1992 TECT: Church From Page B-l' mmM UMaawMHHiHMM ry n) of his "impressive presentation." The committee selected the contractor, Natoli Construction of Montville, in the same manner, she said. Construction began this month, along with a $1.5 million fund-raising campaign that has so far garnered $600,000. The complex is expected to be finished by next Easter. The 229-family parish has been holding Masses in various locations since it was founded in 1988 to accommodate the area's growing Roman Catholic population. The parish is named for a Mohawk woman under consideration for sainthood.

Lorentz said he had spoken with Genovese on Thursday, and said the architect gave him a satisfactory explanation of the 1981 case. "I think it's a travesty, this being brought up now. He's done his time," Lorentz said. "We're already into this. There's a bulldozer out on the property today," Lorentz said.

"Six months ago, we could possibly rethink it, given this. All it can do now is hurt the parish." Federal authorities who probed the fraud involving two schools in Union City, where Musto also was mayor, charged Genovese with aiding in the scam by approving up to $500,000 in phony cost overruns. The money was funneled into a mob-connected firm whose president turned state's witness and testified that he kicked back $440,000 to Musto, Genovese, and municipal officials. The diocese's troubles with Forgione began in 1989, when he was indicted for tax fraud in a case unrelated to his diocese work. The diocese then broke with Forgione and accused him of bilking a Paterson parish and its priest, Monsi-gnor Mark J.

Giordani, of nearly $1 million in renovations and on an aborted crypt-building project. It later emerged that Giordani, the diocese, and Bishop Frank J. Rodimer knew of the pending indictment, the repair work, and the crypt plan for the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. The diocese last year certified the work was valid and formally apologized to Forgione, although Forgione remains under a state indictment for fraud in connection with the diocese's charges.

process by a 22-member building committee. They said they had no knowledge of his criminal history. Genovese did not return messages left at his office Thursday. The parish's building committee chairman, Joseph Lorentz of Sparta, said he was pleased with Genovese's work and had no plans to change architects. Lorentz added that his committee "checked with the diocese first, and they had nothing but praise" for Genovese, who is a volunteer member of a subcommittee under the diocese's Department of Building and Sites.

The subcommittee advises the diocese on building projects. The diocese's business manager, Wayne G. Long, disputed Lor-entz's version. "We certainly had reservations based on some earlier work he Genovese had done in the diocese that we were not entirely satisfied with," Long said. I "We shared that with the parish," he said.

Long said one of the problems was with a window replacement project in a parish school: St. Joseph's in Paterson in the mid-80's. Long also said he had no previous knowledge of Genovese's conviction, although he said other diocese officials may have known of it. Long stressed that Genovese was the parish's choice, and it was "their responsibility to check out the architect, their responsibility to check out his background, his previous work, and his references." Sr. Barbara Moore, pastoral assistant to the parish priest, the Rev.

Daniel Murphy, said the parish's building committee had done extensive checks on Genovese's work. "We liked his track record," she said. Parish officials said they inspected Genovese's work on the churches of Blessed Sacrament in Franklin Lakes and Sacred Heart in Haworth, and his construction of a chapel in the Archdiocese of New York chancery in Manhattan. Moore said the names of 15 to 20 architects with church-building experience were collected last year, and specifications with requests for proposals were sent out to them. Five responded, she said, and Genovese was chosen because In (irN o.

O'Halloran to intercede in the battle between at least two ownership factions that has left the bar on the verge of going belly up. Lawyers for the two sides said they expected Taylor to attend the hearing. In papers submitted Monday, a lawyer for half of the ownership of Dineco Inc.

the bar's corporate entity1 asked O'Halloran to appoint a director who would take control of Dineco's books and assets and immediately file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors. Clifton attorney Thomas Me-lani, who represents 10 stockholders owning 95 of Dineco's 190 shares, blamed the Route 17 bar's financial crisis on mismanagement by former managing stockholder Alfred A. Porro including Por-ro's short-lived effort to transform LT's from a sports bar into a rock-and-roll bar. Melani also questioned the disposition of the $8 million he claims the bar grossed in its first two years, and he said the abortive attempt to shift the bar's theme from jock to rock was motivated by stockholders who wanted to keep LT's from becoming a "black bar." Those allegations were disputed Thursday in court papers submitted by Porro and his wife, Joan Atkins Porro, both of whom practice law in Lyndhurst. Joan Porro said in sworn statements that the books for LT's are kept in the bar and are available for any stockholder to review.

Those books will show that Dineco has been operating at a loss since Dec. 30, 1990. She charged that some of the stockholders represented by Melani have written unauthorized checks to themselves from the corporation for "consulting fees" and for the repayment of loans made to the corporation. Joan Porro also denied that she made any racist statements regarding the bar. She said an affidavit filed by stockholder Michael Dishuk falsely attributes racist statements to her, and that those statements were made by Diahuk and another stockholder.
