When fielding reporters’ questions about the myriad of criminal investigations surrounding City Hall, Mayor Eric Adams frequently encourages his staff with a favorite refrain.

“Stay focused, no distractions and grind,” he says.

But documents reviewed by the NBC New York I-Team suggest the city’s municipal workforce may be more distracted than ever – by side jobs with private sector companies that have business dealings with the city.

According to an analysis of waivers granted by the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board, an average of 748 employees per year have received authorization to own or work for private entities that transact with the city under Mayor Adams. That represents an 61% increase over the de Blasio administration, and a 219% increase from the average number of waivers issued during the Bloomberg and Giuliani administrations

Last year, a record 864 municipal employees got approval to spend off hours working for private businesses, consultants and nonprofits.

Inside binders stored at the city’s Conflicts of Interest Board office,  the I-Team examined many waivers that simply authorize lower-level municipal employees to make a little extra money driving for a rideshare service or working as a security guard, for example. 

But the I-Team also found supervisory employees who make six figure public salaries allowed to work as consultants for private companies doing business with their own agency.  

Susan Lerner, director of the nonpartisan government ethics watchdog Common Cause NY, said the I-Team findings raise concerns the city’s workforce could be distracted. She also noted the record number of conflict waivers comes as the Adams Administration faces multiple investigations involving his staff’s ties to outside consultants and businesses.

“Unfortunately, there have been too many issues raised about conflicts of interest with this particular City Hall,” Lerner said. “It unfortunately feeds into the public’s feeling that public employees aren’t working for the public, that they’re not responsive to the concerns of everyday NYC residents because they have a side gig that they’re thinking about.”

Mayor Adams attributed the increasing number of waiver requests to a highly competitive job market in which municipal employees want freedom to earn extra income.

“If individuals need a waiver that I have to approve - and then it is approved by the oversight agencies to make sure it’s done correctly,” Adams said, “then I have to do that to attract the talent that I need to run the city.”

In one waiver, requested by Adams in Oct. 2022, Jasmine Ray, the new Director of the Mayor’s Office of Sports, Wellness, and Recreation, was authorized to continue working as a consultant for the Cornerstone Daycare in Brooklyn. The previous year, when Ray served as the daycare’s executive director, she won a $4.7 million contract to provide pre-K services to New York City kids. 

Typically it would be against city rules for Ray to get a city paycheck when she also works for a company that has a city contract. But the waiver allowed her to maintain dual roles - both at City Hall and at the daycare. 

Five months after Ray took her new job at City Hall,  the Cornerstone Daycare was temporarily shut down after health inspectors found some of the childcare staff were watching kids without paperwork documenting proper background checks. The Adams Administration would not say how long the closure lasted but said payment to the daycare was withheld for the days it was closed.

Shawna Farquaharson said the daycare closure forced her to find alternative childcare for her son and she questioned whether City Hall was wise to allow Jasmine Ray to split time between two roles.

“I feel like it took her away from Cornerstone a lot more. We needed her to step up and be the director of Cornerstone and she was not there for that,” said Farquaharson. 

Tina Graham, another parent who had to deal with the daycare closure, said she believed Jasmine Ray was still effectively managing the Pre-K program, even though the conflict waiver labeled her as a consultant.

“She was still in charge. They would not make any big decisions without her,” Graham said. “I feel like she wanted the [City Hall] job, but she turned a blind eye to what was going on at the daycare.”

After the Adams administration declined to share full records of the daycare inspections resulting in daycare service interruptions, the I-Team filed a request under New York’s Freedom of Information Law seeking those documents. 

Jasmine Ray declined the I-Team’s request for an interview, but in a written statement she suggested she had only a minor role at the daycare when it was temporarily closed down.

“I am dedicated to helping our city's youth both in my professional work and in my personal life, including as an advisor to the chair of the Cornerstone Daycare Center board. Still, my time at the center is limited to 10 hours a week, and I remain focused on my mission within the Adams administration,” Ray said.

Liz Garcia, a spokesperson for Mayor Adams, did not respond to specific questions about whether the daycare inspection problems had any relation to Jasmine Ray having to divide attention between two sets of responsibilities.  She did, however, defend Ray’s performance as Director of Sports, highlighting her work on a program to bring NYC student athletes overseas, and on the Mayor’s Cup - a series of sporting events in which more than 7,000 young people participate in each year. 

“Jasmine Ray is a dedicated public servant who is laser-focused on her work leading the Mayor's Office of Sports, Wellness, and Recreation to provide our youth,” Garcia wrote. “[Her] ability to lead her office while continuing to serve youth outside of her public capacity is proof that city employees with additional jobs can be and are effective while still making good-use of taxpayer dollars."

So this is WEIRD... I was doing newspaper archive research for an entirely different project, and I stumbled upon this 1979 article about some of the problems on set of Goncharov.

I haven't been able to find anything else in the archives about this Sergey Gargiulo guy, I don't know what happened after this article, and despite mutiple in-depth searches, I can't find any obituary or anything for him from 1979 to 2010. He would have turned 100 in 2011, so there's no way he lived much longer than that, right?

The other thing is that I've looked and looked, but no one else has mentioned this kind of thing happening on the set. It appears that this guy was the only one who had these kinds of complaints? Was he silenced after this? Did anyone else speak up?

I've uploaded the text of the full article below. Sergey Gargiulo said that the only person he trusts in all of Hollywood is Lynda Carter @reallyndacarter and that if you want to know the truth about Goncharov, she's the only person he trusted.

Anyone else think this is just odd?

Full text of article:

Consultant breaks silence over problems on set of “Goncharov”

April 29, 1979

By Jolene Irsca, Staff Reporter

Brooklyn, NY - Sergey Lorenzo Ivanov Gargiulo sprawls in a cracked, olive-green leatherette recliner in his Brighton Beach home and lights his fifth White Owl cigar of the day.  His wheezing laughter, exuberant and joyful over the sounds of the game show on his television set, is a stark contrast to the grave subject matter that he has invited me here to discuss.  

As the sixth anniversary of the film “Goncharov” (1973) approaches, Gargiulo feels that it is finally time to tell his story.  His own clock may be running out, says Gargiulo, after he received a diagnosis of esophageal cancer last autumn.  Despite the seriousness of the illness, Gargiulo, who is turning 68 next week, doubts the veracity of the one-year timeline that his doctors have given him.

“The doctors don’t know what the f— they’re talking about, the f—ing morons,” Gargiulo spits around the cigar bitten between his bright white teeth.  “I’m still gonna be alive in forty f—ing years… but it does make you think.  It makes you think.”

Gargiulo’s haste, he says, stems from the urge to seek justice and right severe wrongs, a moral code that seems highly ironic, coming as it does from a man who describes himself as a “Russian-Italian thug, a cazzato svolach from way back,” as he so colorfully puts it.  

“[Martin] Scorsese knows what happened,” Gargiulo rumbles in his deep,  Brooklyn-by-way-of-Odesa-with-a-semester-abroad-in-Naples accent.  “That motherf—er knows exactly what happened.  And he knows that I know he knows, and I’m not gonna let that figlio de puttana, that suka blyat stronzo motherf—er off the hook.”

So what, in Gargiulo’s opinion, actually happened?

In order to answer that question, we must travel back to Naples, Italy to August of 1972, when “Goncharov” began filming in the San Giovanni a Teduccio neighborhood.  

Because of his unique Russian-Italian background, Gargiulo was hired as a cultural consultant on the set of the film, directed by fresh auteur Scorsese.  “Goncharov” was just Scorsese’s third full-length feature film (shot between “Boxcar Bertha” and his critically acclaimed “Mean Streets”), and written by Matteo JWHJ 0715, who is widely regarded as a genius for his award-winning body of work since 1967, including three consecutive Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, and two Best Screenplay awards at the Cannes Film Festival.  (A notorious recluse who refuses to grant interviews or even show up to accept awards, Matteo JWHJ 0715 declined our request to be interviewed for this article.)

Gargiulo’s expertise in bridging the hardened worlds of the Neapolitan Camorra and the Russian Bratva, combined with his culinary skills (Gargiulo opened the Michelin-starred restaurant Risotto e Rassolnik in Naples in 1960, and has won acclaim for such Russo-Italian fusion dishes as polpi alla luciana pelmeni and pizza kholodets) meant that he was uniquely positioned to advise Scorsese on the intricacies of “Goncharov,” the sprawling saga of a Russian-born discotheque owner (played by Robert de Niro) who travels to Naples and becomes embroiled in mafia activity.

The offer of a cushy consultancy, and the opportunity to have a hand in the creation of the film hooked Gargiulo right away.  He also hoped that the film would heighten visibility and positive representation for vorami v zakone and mafiosi alike, and show the world that there was more to those groups than just organized crime.

“I was getting a little worn down, I’m getting older, and I thought taking a short break from the restaurant grind might be a nice little vacanza, you know? Plus when I met with Scorsese, he was very complimentary, very professional.  I was expecting a well-run production.”

But when he arrived on set, Gargiulo says, he was taken aback at the lack of safety measures, including the fact that Scorsese allowed actual Italian and Russian gang members to portray minor characters and to interact with the Hollywood stars freely both on-set and off.

“You can’t have those guys, those prestupniki mixing with the f—ing actors, you know? I mean, you can’t mix good guys with hard motherf—ers like that.  They cannot be trusted.”

I ask Gargiulo to elaborate.

“I saw minchiata like you wouldn’t believe.  Near the start of the shoot, John [Cazale] and this Russian guy, this big motherf—er from the Kapotnya district in Moscow, Alexei, they were rehearsing the ice pick stabbing scene.  And John refused to use the stunt icepick, he wanted to use a real one.”

Upon seeing the look of shock on my face, Gargiulo nods at me, his eyes wide.  “You heard me.  I told Scorsese not to let John do that, but he said there was no way John could hurt the guy, that they were gonna film it from a certain angle so that it only looked like John was stabbing Alexei.  And then what do you know? We had to call the cazzo emergency services because Alexei almost lost his eye for real.”

Gargiulo shakes his head in disbelief.  “He was a sniper for the Bratva, a real up-and-comer.  Alexei almost lost his livelihood over John’s negligence… coglione, kozyol.”

When asked to provide additional examples of issues on the set of “Goncharov,” tears come to Gargiulo’s eyes, and he has to take a few moments to collect himself before continuing.  

“One day, right after we broke for the afternoon, I caught Cybill Shepherd teaching two of the little Napolitano guys how to stab someone in the lungs from behind so they couldn’t scream.  I saw red, I’m telling you.  Those guys were innocent little ragazzi, little foot soldiers.  All they knew how to do was run drugs and pickpocket, and here she was corrupting the f— outta them.  I reported that to Scorsese right away.  But…” Gargiulo trails off, and I prompt him to continue when he’s ready.  

“Scorsese said it wasn’t a problem,” Gargiulo growls, wiping his eyes.  “He said that I misunderstood, or that she was just rehearsing with them… but she didn’t have a scene like that in the movie, so what the f— was she doing? Ty che, blyad, you know?”

Gargiulo says that these two incidents (along with four mysterious crew deaths, accusations of embezzlement, Robert de Niro’s refusal to break character for the entire five-month shoot, and rumors of Scorsese’s crippling gelato addiction) paint a picture of a production that was out of control from the beginning.  

“We deserve answers,” says Gargiulo.  “Those of us who were harmed, those of us in the Russian and Italian mobster communities who were injured at the hands of those hardened Hollywood f—ers, we deserve some justice.  The whole shoot was a f—ing razvaluha from the very beginning.  Those movie guys should never have been allowed to step foot in Naples, piz’duk bastardi.”

When asked if anyone can back up his claims, Gargiulo smiles, looking peaceful for the first time since I stepped foot into his home.  

“There’s only one person I would trust in all of Hollywood, one perfetta, dorogoy, immacolata cherub in the whole entire production who knows what the hell went down.  You want to know what really happened? Ask Lynda Carter.”

And with that, Gargiulo excuses himself for his afternoon nap, and ushers me out the door.

Duke Riley  Tides  and Transgressions

Duke Riley, Foreword Meredith Johnson, Afterword Anne Pasternak

euro 62,00

email if you want to buy booksinprogressmilano@yahoo.it

Published on the occasion of the exhibition “Death to the living, Long live trash” held at the Brooklyn Museum, NY, June 17 2022- April 23 2023

The first survey of the twenty-plus-year career of the highly influential multimedia artist Duke Riley, famous for expressing transgressive political and ecological themes through metaphors drawn from nautical folklore and nature. Duke Riley’s work explores his lifelong fascination with urban waterways, their historical relationship to the culture of life at sea, and the uneasy intersections of human geography with the physical world. His work comments on a range of issues, from the cultural impact of overdevelopment and environmental destruction of waterfront communities to contradictions within political ideologies and the role of the artist in society. This comprehensive monograph collects work from his expansive career, encompassing drawings, sculptures, mosaics, performances, and more than one maritime adventure, including his Fly by Night public art project of pigeons illuminated by LED lights flying across the New York City skyline, documentation of his nefarious shell company Non-Essential Consultants, and the mayhem of the 2009 anarchic mock Roman naval battle, Those About to Die Salute You at the Queens Museum.

Duke Riley is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Anne Pasternak is the Shelby White and Leon Levy Director of the Brooklyn Museum. Meredith Johnson is the vice president of arts and culture and head curator at the Trust for Governors Island.

The murder of O’Shae Sibley

          O’Shae Sibley was a well-known dancer and choreographer in New York. Last week, he was vogueing in a parking lot in Brooklyn. O’Shae was approached by a group of young men. They hurled racial and anti-gay slurs at O’Shae before a high-school teenage member of the gang fatally stabbed O’Shae. The teenager has been charged with a hate crime. See NYTimes, Mourners Pay Tribute to O’Shae Sibley at the Scene of His Murder.

          While we should not jump to conclusions, it appears that O’Shae was murdered because he was a gay man dancing in public. If true, such a crime is the inevitable result of the drumbeat of anti-LGBTQ propaganda coming from MAGA extremists and politicians, most notably Ron DeSantis. Yet another reason that we must speak out against every anti-LGBTQ piece of legislation and propaganda issued by MAGA extremists.

          As the Times article above notes, mourners have begun to gather near the gas station where O’Shae was murdered. Reader (and friend) Jonathan Atkin is one of the nation’s leading aerial drone photographers. He took the photo below last Friday and granted me permission to publish it. (It is copyrighted, so please respect Jonathan’s intellectual property.)

          The photo is evocative for reasons I cannot fully explain. It is oblique but converges to a point. It communicates the power of the crowd from a distance. (As noted in the Postscript below, the distance is a sign of respect for the mourners.) But most importantly, it illustrates the outpouring of grief, support, and anger provoked by the killing of O’Shae Sibley—whose name deserves to be said and remembered.

          Thanks, Jonathan, for sharing your photo.

+

Jonathan Atkin took the photo of the O’Shae Sibley mourners using an aerial drone. Drone photography is highly regulated and should not be attempted by amateurs, especially near crowds. Jonathan describes his precautions as follows:

Drone flight completed with the following safety protocols:

a.) FAA "B4UFLY" checked and indicated airspace was "free to fly.” (A convenient sliver of airspace in busy NYC.)

b.) Google maps showing Coney Island Ave & P Street were consulted the night before, showing no aerial obstructions.

c.) Wind aloft: minimal. Flew Under 150 feet altitude.

d.) Notified NYPD Aviation as per my recognized practice with a "Situational Awareness Notice," similar to each notice I send for over 26 years producing aerial photographs of large ships, with crewed helicopters in the Port of NY/NJ).

e.) Flew at the site with a "V.O" (visual observer for safety)

f.) Utilized a powerful but small drone with a telephoto lens, providing an oblique angle to ensure I would be distant and not overhead of the gathered crowd.

g.) Chose my launch site behind a barricade in a protected spot. Drone prepped in advance with fully charged batteries on both drone and Remote Controller, to fly as minimally as possible to get the iconic image.

h.) Flew about 8 minutes; understanding drone usage might invoke negativity or provoke concern as drones often do particularly where emotions are high.

i.) Wore a highly visible red windbreaker to be transparent.

j.) The NYPD 66th Precinct was considerate and helpful.

I’ve bolded those names who are either current or former members of the BJU Board of Trustees. UPDATE: I eliminated this indication after receiving all the names who signed.

The men present who voted unanimously were either all of those or some of those. We don’t know. We can presume that the Officers were all likely present: Kevin Schaal, Gordan Dickson, Taigen Joos, Bud Steadman, and Michael Privett.

Who abstained? Bob III didn’t. Mike Harding as a present BJU Board member? Stephen Jones as a very absent member of the Royal family? Mark Minnick as a current employee?

The only name on there that I can guarantee did not abstain was Don Johnson, but he’s an old friend of mine. ;)

What do you think?

UPDATE, May 15, 2023: The Positives have added an unredacted signatory list. WutBJU will mark all those signatories on the above list in bold italics.

However, navigating the complex asylum process can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with the emotional trauma of your past experiences. This is where an Asylum Lawyer USA can become your trusted partner, guiding you through the process and increasing your chances of success.

Asylum in the USA is a form of protection granted to individuals who have a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. To qualify, you must demonstrate that you've suffered past persecution or have a reasonable fear of future persecution in your home country. An experienced asylum lawyer can help you understand the eligibility criteria and gather evidence to support your claim.

Filing for asylum can be a daunting task, especially when facing common challenges such as proving credible fear, navigating legal deadlines, and understanding the required evidence.

That's why it's imperative to work with an asylum lawyer who can help you overcome these obstacles and build a robust claim.

How to Prepare for Shoulder Orthopedic Surgery in Brooklyn NY

Undergoing shoulder orthopedic surgery can feel overwhelming, but proper preparation can make the process smoother and less stressful. Whether you are dealing with a torn rotator cuff or chronic pain, taking time to plan ahead will ensure a better recovery experience. If you're having your procedure at a reputable orthopedic clinic in Westchester or another facility, following these steps can help you feel more at ease.

Consult with Your Surgeon

It’s essential to have an open discussion with your surgeon about the procedure. Make sure to ask about the surgery’s duration, possible outcomes, and post-operative care. This will help you manage your expectations and understand the recovery timeline. Additionally, confirm with your surgeon if you need to stop any medications or make dietary adjustments before surgery.

Prepare Your Home

Before undergoing shoulder orthopedic surgery Brooklyn NY residents are often advised to make adjustments at home. Preparing your space in advance makes recovery easier. You may need to set up a comfortable area with easy access to essentials, like medications, water, and a phone. If possible, arrange for someone to assist with daily tasks, especially in the first few days post-surgery.

Focus on Pre-Surgical Exercises

If recommended by your doctor, engaging in pre-surgical exercises can strengthen the shoulder and improve recovery outcomes. Physical therapists often provide gentle exercises to build muscle support around the shoulder joint. Strengthening your upper body helps with mobility and aids in managing post-surgery discomfort.

Arrange for Transportation and Recovery Support

Since anesthesia can affect your coordination, you won’t be able to drive yourself home after surgery. Be sure to arrange transportation to and from the medical facility. Additionally, ask a family member or friend to help you during the initial recovery period, as tasks like cooking or dressing may be challenging.

Preparing for shoulder orthopedic surgery requires thoughtful planning, from consulting with your surgeon to setting up your home for a smooth recovery. With guidance from trusted professionals, patients can navigate the process with confidence and peace of mind. For those seeking expert care, Orthocare Surgical offers high-quality services tailored to individual needs.

Merica Solar Panels: Empowering New York City with Clean, Affordable Energy

New York City, with its towering skyscrapers, bustling streets, and world-class energy demands, may seem an unlikely place for a renewable energy revolution. Yet, as the city seeks to modernize its infrastructure and reduce its carbon footprint, solar power has emerged as a key player in shaping a sustainable future. Among the innovators leading this charge is Merica Solar Panels, a company that is bringing affordable, high-performance solar solutions to the heart of the Big Apple.

Why Solar Power in NYC?

New York City is a city of contrasts—ancient brownstones nestled between modern glass high-rises, and lush parks surrounded by concrete. Despite its dense urban environment, the city has been steadily shifting towards more eco-friendly solutions. With its ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, solar energy is central to the city’s long-term sustainability plans.

Solar power offers a host of benefits for city dwellers:

Environmental Impact: NYC aims to become carbon neutral, and solar panels are a crucial part of that equation. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting down on emissions, solar power helps protect the city's environment for future generations.

Rising Energy Costs: New Yorkers are no strangers to expensive electricity bills. With the unpredictable nature of energy costs, many residents and businesses are turning to solar to lock in long-term savings. Solar power can drastically reduce utility bills, offering financial relief in the face of rising energy costs.

Tax Incentives and Rebates: The state of New York offers generous tax incentives, rebates, and credits for residents who choose to go solar, making it an even more attractive option for property owners. With programs like the NY-Sun Initiative, the upfront cost of solar panels becomes more affordable, increasing their accessibility.

Who is Merica Solar Panels?

Merica Solar Panels is a homegrown solar company committed to making clean energy solutions more accessible to New Yorkers. With years of experience in the solar industry, Merica Solar has positioned itself as a leader in the solar space, offering high-quality panels, professional installation services, and ongoing maintenance for both residential and commercial properties.

Merica Solar's commitment goes beyond just selling solar panels—they aim to transform New York City's energy landscape by providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of city residents. Whether it’s a rooftop installation for a Brownstone in Brooklyn or a solar array on a commercial building in Manhattan, Merica Solar offers scalable solutions that can maximize energy production while blending seamlessly into the city’s infrastructure.

Why Choose Merica Solar Panels?

1. Tailored Solutions for Urban Homes

New York City presents unique challenges when it comes to solar power—limited roof space, tall buildings casting shadows, and sometimes complex installation logistics. Merica Solar understands these challenges and has developed customized solutions that optimize energy generation, no matter the size or type of building. Their team works with clients to design solar arrays that fit perfectly into their available space while maximizing efficiency.

2. High-Quality Solar Technology

Merica Solar only uses the latest and most efficient solar panel technology. The panels they provide are known for their durability, high performance, and ability to withstand New York's sometimes harsh weather conditions—whether it's snow, rain, or high winds. By using top-tier solar modules, Merica ensures that each installation provides maximum energy production over its lifespan.

3. Experienced and Professional Installation

Installing solar panels is no small feat, particularly in a city like New York. Merica Solar prides itself on a professional and streamlined installation process. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, their certified and trained technicians ensure that every step is handled efficiently, safely, and to the highest standard.

4. Long-Term Savings

Solar panels are a long-term investment, and Merica Solar offers financing options to help make that initial investment more manageable. By generating their own energy, property owners can significantly reduce their reliance on the grid, leading to lower energy bills for decades. The company also helps clients navigate local and federal incentives to further reduce the upfront cost.

5. Excellent Customer Service

Merica Solar is known for its exceptional customer service. From the first call to ongoing maintenance and support, they offer a seamless experience. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring that every solar panel installation is optimized for the best performance possible.

Community Engagement: Merica Solar takes an active role in educating the local community about the benefits of solar energy. Through workshops, consultations, and partnerships with local organizations, they’re helping to spread awareness and inspire more people to embrace clean energy.

Supporting Local Economy: Merica Solar’s commitment to sourcing products locally and hiring local talent has helped strengthen New York’s economy. By employing local installers and supporting green jobs, they’re contributing to both environmental and economic sustainability.

Urban Solar Innovation: Urban environments come with unique challenges, such as shading, limited space, and the need for aesthetic considerations. Merica Solar has developed creative solutions to address these challenges, offering customized installations that are both functional and visually appealing.

Sustainability Leadership: By offering renewable energy solutions, Merica Solar is leading by example and helping other businesses and homeowners make the shift to solar. The company is actively working with organizations and businesses to encourage them to adopt solar, thus reducing the city’s reliance on fossil fuels.

What’s Next for Merica Solar and NYC?
