Consider correspondence forwarded to a number of public officials, law enforcment agents, human services providers and clinicians in reference to the negligent standard for human services in Hyannis and greater Barnstable. Executives of Housing Assistance Corporation planned lavish expansion projects at a price tag of $11.5 million dollars to the neighboring Town of Sandwich.
Convicted felons, sex offenders and unrehabilitated narcotics addicts were to placed in a new and expanded facility located close to a residential neighborhood, the Barnstable Airport and a major hotel. Real estate mogul and owner of the Radisson Hotel, Stuart Bornstein fought the expansion of unrecovered, homeless clientele to the Mildred's Chowder House/Fish Landing site.
A number of homicides were traced within the homeless population that occurred over ten years during the planning phase of the Dana's Field's Project. High profile rapes and murders were traced to the homeless population inolving convicted felons housed by the organization and treated by organizations supported by the "Mental Health Task Force" developed by Judge Joseph Reardon.
The conviction of Christopher McCowen for rape and homicide of Christa Worthington is currently up for appeal. McCowen was on the lamb for the murder of Miss Worthington in the Hyannis area during the negotiations for expansion of the Pilot House decided by the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee before the Barnstable Airport Commission and Dana's Fields before the Zoning Board if Appeals in Sandwich. Local municipal figures were apprised of the compromise to public safety.

Dear Senator Kennedy
Homeless people in Hyannis and greater Barnstable County applaud the relief effort and two million dollars in funding negotiated via Phil Mangano and extend their sincerest gratitude. We are particularly thankful considering the current financial and socio-economic instability we all face in uncertain times.
Unfortunately, the generosity of the people of Barnstable was exploited by a number of human service agencies operating at a negligent standard. As you are aware, I have forwarded extensive materials to public officials including Senator Robert O’Leary, Representative Demetrius Atsalis, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and President Janet Swain Joakim in regard to the compromise of safety of children in Hyannis and Greater Barnstable.
I have spoken many times before The Barnstable Town Council in regard to improvement of the standard for safety for all, especially children. Please note the compromise to safety of children living in the Marstons Mills Village of Barnstable. I have enclosed the court documentation and correspondence forwarded to the town attorney’s office in regard to the actions of sitting town council President Janet Swain Joakim.
President Joakim provoked and antagonized a tenuous situation involving families and children in a neighborhood of an adjacent precinct. Janet Joakim engaged in malicious and malevolent “blogging wars” by posting libelous materials on her personal website. Many of the postings and comments inflicted substantial emotional distress on many residents of Barnstable.
Victims of President Janet Swain Joakim’s reckless behavior remain greatly concerned of the impact of this behavior on children. Not only did President Joakim endanger the health, welfare, and safety of innocent children by maligning adversaries via the Internet, President Joakim advertises her website from the town council bench. Joakim directed me to be forcibly removed from the town council podium for ardent criticism of outrageous behavior and impropriety. Please consider the enclosed computer disc with vitriolic and malicious notation posted and a video produced from town meetings.
Demetrius Atsalis and Janet Joakim leaned on local law enforcement to charge the individuals that she intentionally provoked. The charge was deliberately timed to coincide with a special recall election as provided by the town charter to remove Janet Joakim from office. Please note the photographs provided of Chief Paul MacDonald assisting Janet Joakim as she campaigned to keep her council seat.
Lastly, I have included a number of photographs of conditions in downtown Hyannis in campsites. Some of these photographs have been taken in front of the Kennedy Museum and behind the National Armory where your brother John first announced his intent to run for President. President Janet Swain Joakim is not only a municipal leader; she is also your sitting town council president. President Joakim ignored the conditions of this substandard and negligent agency. Complaints regarding the compromise in safety to all members of the community were brought before the town council on a number of occasions.
The policies of President Joakim continue to jeopardize the health, welfare and safety of children in the Town of Barnstable. I am asking for your assistance to insure the immediate removal and dismissal of President Janet Swain Joakim from elected office. Her actions are not consistent with the spirit of the Democratic Party and the principles that you have fought for and in which we all believe.
Senator, I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements

Dear Mr. Worthington,
Please consider the correspondence forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley. You may recall a conversation where I detailed a number of items regarding the perpetrator convicted in the rape and homicide of your daughter and his association with human services in Barnstable. As you are aware, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Senator Rob O’Leary accepted campaign contributions from Rick Presbrey of Housing Assistance Corporation and other clinicians providing services to this offender.
The local homeless shelter operated by Presbrey’s organization, NOAH, the associated O’Neill Center and the Duffy Clinic provided services to clients with narcotics addictions, violent behavior and substantial criminal records. A number of campaign contributions were forwarded to public officials and favors for this negligent and substandard agency continue.
In May, Judge H. Gregory Williams ordered me evicted from a narcotics infested building plagued with violence. Not only were there deaths on the premises, I was threatened by a client of the Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill and Duffy Clinic. Criminal records, accounts of the violence, and photographs of conditions in the materials forwarded to Martha Coakley. These items and all correspondence can now be reviewed on www.welcometobarnstable.com.
You mentioned when I spoke to you that you were in contact with Attorney Coakley and that you were going to speak to her regarding the negligent standards at the local shelter. You told me to consider myself a “material witness, and that all items and materials should be considered relevant”. When I expressed concern for my safety, you stated “We know how to treat a material witness”. Your words verbatim to me were “Young lady, if these people had anything to do with my daughters death, I want them in jail!”
Have you given up on justice for Christa?
Truly,
Mary Clements

Mr. Christopher H. Worthington, Esq., father of the homicide victim in Truro suggested that he would contact Attorney General Martha Coakley in regard to allegations of impropriety involving Housing Assistance Corporation and related organizations.
