KEEPING YOUR DOCUMENTS SAFE DURING THIS HURRICANE SEASON FREKEET

MAR IS S ANALY

Suffolk County Clerk Judith A. Pascale has issued the following document safety tips for this hurricane season. “The devastation wrought by recent hurricane seasons serves as a strong reminder that hurricane preparedness needs to be pushed to the forefront of everyone’s agenda. Experts agree that storing key documents in safe locations provides the maximum level of security and convenience in the aftermath of a catastropheCOMMERCIAL like a major hurricane,” commented Suffolk - $3,800,000 County Clerk Judith A.

“While safes and safety deposit boxes are among the best places to store your most sensitive documents, I want to assure all Suffolk County residents that a permanent copy of all documents recorded in our Office, i.e. deeds, mortgages, powers of attorney, etc., are readily available, should an unfortunate disaster strike,” commented Pascale. By digitally scanning and retaining land records, digital surrogates are utilized in place of the actual hard copies to preserve land transactions while also providing for an efficient and effective safeguard of the land records of Suffolk County. “Although traditional paper mediums are increasingly susceptible to disaster, we utilize state-of-the-art computer storage systems to hold digital images of these paper mediums to provide an added layer of security in the protection of the public record,” concluded Pascale.

Mazzarella Calls for End to DSS Dumping in Unsafe Structures

By Jennine Kubik

Responding to community complaints over the county placing the homeless in unsafe facilities, Jim Mazzarella said his first bill when he is elected to the Suffolk Legislature will make sure the homes have proper permits and follow local building codes. His election on May 25th is assured as his opponent, former legislator Kate Browning, was removed from the ballot for violating the county’s term limit law. The county Department of Social Services is under fire for providing rental vouchers for homes that lack rental permits and certificates of occupancy. The issue came to a head recently when an abandoned funeral home at 71 Beach Lane in Gordon Heights was sold by the county to a landlord who collected the voucher money from social service tenants. Brookhaven inspectors were denied access to the home prompting Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine to publicize the fact that the

home was unsafe and in violation of town codes designed to protect tenants. “My legislation will make sure that the county does not voucher homeless residents into unsafe facilities,” Mazzarella said. “Communities in my district have borne the brunt of this practice and it’s time for the county to stop.” He said he will also see to it that the county does not sell surplus residential property to forprofit landlords. “Homes taken by the county through tax liens must be sold to homeowners who will build up our neighborhoods, not greedy landlords who are looking to profit from the broken social services system.” The home, which was evaluated by the town twice for demolition as an unsafe structure, is owned by Kismet Domi, a landlord with numerous properties in the town that have been subject to complaints by nearby residents. In a letter to county executive Steve Bellone, Romaine said, “As

Important Information for Recently Discharged Veterans Suffolk County Clerk Judith A. Pascale would like to remind all veterans, especially those returning from abroad, to file a copy of their DD-214 (military discharge papers) with the Suffolk County Clerk.

In Suffolk County, veterans may be eligible for numerous service related programs. Most notably is a reduction in their county, and sometimes town property

According to Councilman Mike Loguercio, who co-signed the letter with Romaine, the county has owned the property since 2014 and never entered into an agreement with the town “so that this dilapidated, unsightly eyesore” could be demolished. “It is our understanding that when the county sold residential property at its auction, it was to go to homeowners and not landlords,” Loguercio said. Another recipient of the letter, Legislator Rob Calarco, said the county was unaware that the property was zoned for residential use, adding, “Clearly, this a bad actor operating without the proper permits. To say that I’m less than pleased with what is going on here is an understatement.”

“The county takes advantage of communities of color and low-income areas by overloading them with the homeless,” said a local Bay Area civic leader Matthew Towle. “It’s bad enough that they keep dumping social service clients in certain areas, but they don’t even care that the facilities are unsafe. We need legislation to make sure the Department of Social Services ascertains that a home is safe with the proper town permits before they pay

for someone to live there.” “I look forward to immediately addressing this and other quality-oflife issues when I am elected to the legislature,” Mazzarella said. “We pay the highest taxes and fees in the entire nation and the least we deserve is a government that looks after our best interests. As a legislator, I will make sure that the county abides by all town codes and regulations to keep everyone safe.”

ENDORSEMENT

Mazzarella for the Suffolk Legislature It’s rare that the right person comes at the right time to represent a community, but Jim Mazzarella is just this person. Running in a special election for the Suffolk Legislature’s Third District, Jim has been long active in our area and has given countless hours in serving his neighbors.

“Very often veterans are required to submit DD-214 papers when they apply for certain benefits. By filing their papers with the County Clerk, veterans are assured that a permanent record exists in the event their original DD-214 is misplaced, destroyed or needed by their family,” commented Suffolk County Clerk Pascale. At the time of filing, a copy of the original must be presented along with a current mailing address. The County Clerk’s office will return the original; issue a convenient identification card and two certified copies free of charge to the veteran. Additionally, all filed discharge papers are sealed from public view, but available to the veteran and his/ her next of kin. A DD-214 can be filed at any time after separation from the armed forces.

elected representatives of this area, our concerns lie with the residents of this community, who have been continuously impacted by situations such as these, time and time again. What is more frustrating is that this location, with the lack of proper permits and approvals, has people there renting out space and the Suffolk County Department of Social Services is paying for them to do so.”

When residents turned out for a Save Our Sewers rally, Jim was right there with them, pledging to make the long-awaited environmental and economic project a top priority. His opponent, Kate Browning, who served on the legislature while the project lagged, was nowhere to be found.

taxes based on the type of service they rendered to their country in wartime. Additionally, a DD-214 is required and must be submitted for other programs including Social Security benefits, Veterans Administration services, Civil Service testing, and replacement medals. For a better understanding of all the services available to veterans within Suffolk County, individuals should contact the Suffolk County Veterans Services Agency at (631) 853-VETS (8387).

Jim stepped up when community complaints reached a peak against the county dumping the homeless in unsafe structures without proper permits or certificates of occupancy. He announced that his first piece of legislation will require the county Department of Social Service to make sure homes are safe and legal before issuing rental vouchers for them. He also said he will make sure that the county does not sell surplus residential property to for-profit operators, a key consideration in revitalizing areas besieged with zombie homes and absentee landlords. The son of an Italian immigrant whose family settled in Shirley in Candidate for Suffolk County Legislator the 1960’s, Jim served as a Trustee of the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Jim Mazzarella Community Library for 10 years, with five years as president, and has been a member of the Rotary Club of Shirley and the Mastics since 1998. He has been active with the Crystal Beach Property Owners for 15 years and is well known for his involvement in many civic, charitable, and education initiatives in the Bay Area. He also serves as a member of the Brookhaven Town Board of Zoning Appeals and is the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 342, a public services union that represents 1,500 sanitation, highway, library, fire, water district and other municipal employees on Long Island. Kate Browning was thrown off the May 25 ballot by Justice James Hudson for violating the county Term Limit Law. Years ago, Suffolk voters overwhelmingly said politicians like Browning should be limited to 12 years in the legislature. Yet she continues to push to get her old job back and ignore the will of the people. The voters specifically said no to career politicians and passed a law to bring new faces and new ideas into county government. Jim Mazzarella is just this person and we endorse him for election to this critical seat.

Sini & SCPD Commissioner Hart: Centereach Man Indicted for Allegedly Stabbing & Critically Injuring Police Officer Following Motor Vehicle Crash

Defendant was Allegedly Impaired by Methamphetamine at Time of Incident Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart today announced the indictment of a Centereach man for allegedly stabbing and critically injuring a police officer following a motor vehicle crash in which the defendant was driving while impaired by methamphetamine. “This defendant was allegedly high on drugs and driving erratically, and instead of pulling over and complying with lawful commands, he decided to speed through a residential area and ultimately attacked a police officer,” District Attorney Sini said. “These are all conscious decisions that the defendant made - decisions that put so many peoples’ lives at risk – including Officer Racioppo, who is lucky to be alive thanks to the swift actions of the responding officers, good Samaritans, and the medical professionals at both Long Island Community Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital. I’ll say this clearly and unequivocally: We will do whatever it takes to hold this defendant accountable for his horrific actions.” “Officer Racioppo is thankfully home today, but he has suffered a grave injury that will take a lot of time to come back from,” Commissioner Hart said. “It was a lesson in courage that we saw when Officer Racioppo was viciously attacked and officers came to his rescue without question. I want to thank the District Attorney and his team on behalf of the men and women of the Suffolk

County Police Department for holding this defendant accountable and bringing him to justice.” “I would like to thank the District Attorney Sini, the District Attorney’s Office and the Court for recognizing the severity of the actions of this defendant and for making sure he’s held accountable for those actions,” said Noel DiGerolamo, President of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association. “I also want to thank the men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department, the true heroes who work day in and day out and sacrifice so much for people they’ve never met.” Jonathan Nunez, 25, is charged with Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer, a class B violent felony; Assault in the First Degree, a class B violent felony; Assault on a Police Officer, a class C violent felony; two counts of Assault in the Second Degree, a class D violent felony; Assault in the Third Degree, a class A misdemeanor; Resisting Arrest, a class A misdemeanor; Leaving the Scene of an Incident Resulting in Physical Injury, a class A misdemeanor; Reckless Driving, a misdemeanor; and Operating a Motor Vehicle While Impaired by a Drug, a misdemeanor. At approximately 10:30 p.m. on April 10, Nunez was driving a 1999 Mercedes Benz southbound on South Ocean Avenue in Patchogue when he was allegedly observed driving erratically with no headlights on by Suffolk County Police Fifth Precinct Officer Christopher Racioppo. Officer Racioppo activated his emergency lights and attempted to pull the vehicle over, at

which time Nunez allegedly fled at a high rate of speed and crashed into a 2004 Nissan at the intersection of South Ocean Avenue and Brook Street. Nunez allegedly exited his vehicle following the crash and fled on foot into the yard of a nearby residence. Nunez then allegedly became engaged in a physical altercation with Officer Racioppo and stabbed him in the leg, severing his femoral artery and a vein. Two good Samaritans assisted responding Fifth Precinct officers in rendering emergency medical aid to Officer Racioppo and apprehending Nunez. Officer Racioppo was transported to Long Island Community Hospital in East Patchogue and then transferred to Stony Brook University Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery for the ruptured artery and was in critical condition. He was released from the hospital on April 26. Following the incident, the driver of the Nissan was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of nonlife-threatening injuries. Nunez was transported to Long Island Community Hospital. “The defendant was extremely combative and extremely violent,” District Attorney Sini said. “At no point did he have any interest in complying with lawful commands by members of the police department, and that behavior continued when he was brought to the hospital, where he was combative with the medical staff as

Nunez was arraigned on the indictment before Suffolk County Court Judge Stephen Braslow and was remanded without bail. He is being represented by the Legal Aid Society and is due back in court on June 2.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Sheetal Shetty and Keri Wasson, of the Felony Offense Bureau’s Major Crime Unit.

If convicted of the top count, Nunez faces a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in

A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Zeldin Applauds New County Commitment to Forge River Sewer Project Congressman Lee Zeldin. “I applaud Suffolk County for bridging the funding gap and coming together in this effort to harness every level of government to improve water quality and other critical aspects of life for local residents.” The CDBG-DR program was established by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 to provide billions of dollars to improve disaster preparedness in communities in the aftermath of SuperStorm Sandy. Under previous law, there was a hard deadline of September 30, 2022 for the expenditure of CDBG-DR.

In December, Zeldin Saved Sewer Project in Congress In December, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) worked closely with House and Senate leadership, as well as White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to secure an extension of the September 30, 2022 deadline for the use of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to September 30, 2023. This saved three local sewer projects in Suffolk County: Carlls

River, Patchogue River and Forge River. Today, Suffolk County announced it will contribute the funding needed to make up for budget gaps caused by an increased project cost due to the previous delay of construction. “The Forge River Sewer Project is critical to our quality of life in Suffolk County, and it was critical to deliver this huge win to ensure this project gets over the finish line,” said

Several of the projects funded through these programs broke ground, while others were expected to begin construction soon, according to the timelines that existed prior to the onset of COVID-19. Many of these projects were on track to meet the requirements to utilize federal funds in full by the 2022 deadline. However, COVID-19 resulted in unexpected delays. Labor contracts and supply chains further complicated the long lead times needed to implement these largescale infrastructure projects, putting the funding of these projects at risk because they were unlikely to meet

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Forge River Sewer Project Dear Editor, The Forge River Sewer Project is critical to our quality of life in the tri-hamlet. That is why I worked closely in December with House and Senate leadership and the White House to secure an extension of the deadline to use the $310 million in federal funding that makes this vital project possible. This extension to 2023 saved three Suffolk County sewer projects: Carlls River, Patchogue River and Forge River. On Thursday, Suffolk County committed to contributing the funds needed to close budget gaps, which were caused by increased project costs resulting from previous construction delays. I applaud the county for bridging the funding gap and working hard on this effort to harness every level of government to improve water quality and other critical aspects of life for locals.

the deadline. In Suffolk County, the Forge River, Patchogue and Carlls River sewer projects are part of the Suffolk County Coastal Resiliency Initiative (SCCRI), which has been allotted $67 million in CDBG-DR funds in addition to $243 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds. While the Forge River project itself is to be constructed with FEMA/HMGP funds, the Forge River, Patchogue and Carlls River sewer projects that are part of the SCCRI are tied together and interdependent because the Benefit Cost Assessment (BCA) that justifies use of HMGP funds for the Forge River project relies on the higher BCA rankings of the Carlls River and Patchogue projects. Those projects rely in significant part on CDBGDR funds, but their higher BCA ranking elevates the cumulative BCA ranking of the three projects, making the use of HMGP funds for the Forge River project possible. For this reason, it is critically important to the Forge River project that the CDBG-DR funding for the other two projects be protected.

STATE

State Comptroller Says Record Budget Unsustainable

By Jennine Kubik

The record $212 billion budget recently approved in Albany is not sustainable and foregoes any opportunity to reduce the state’s massive debt or improve its long-term outlook, according to an analysis released by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. The massive spending plan, which raises taxes by more than $4 billion to help cover $5 billion for $15,600 checks to illegal immigrants and others who couldn’t get COVID relief payments, raises state spending by 10 percent. “And, for the second year, state leaders circumvented the state’s debt cap for debt to be issued in the coming year—with new state issuance likely to exceed the limits, rendering the cap meaningless,” the comptroller stated. “The comptroller finally said what we have been arguing all along,” said Assemblyman Joe DeStefano. “Spending by the Progressive Democrats who control state government is out of control and not sustainable.”

DeStefano noted that even with $27.1 billion in COVID relief funding from the federal government, “the Democrats just couldn’t help themselves and hiked spending and taxes even more.” Not only that, he pointed

“What they are doing is saddling New York taxpayers, small businesses and future generations with enormous financial liabilities,” said Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio. “They had an opportunity to

give the taxpayers a break with the billions from Washington, but spent all of that and more. People are fleeing the Empire State because of the taxes,

regulations and fees and the Democrats just don’t seem to care.” Senator Alexis Weik noted that while the budget increases school aid and spending for health care, infrastructure and other state programs, it loses sight of future sustainability. “We can’t expect billions from Washington every year,” Weik said. “The state should be looking at ways to reduce spending, not spend more at unsustainable levels. We need lower taxes and less government spending to allow our economy to rebound.” According to Weik, the record budget relies on $26.7 billion in new resources in an economy where employment has declined by 10.3 percent. “The only thing that could have saved us was the state budget cap, which the Democrats have rendered meaningless,” DeStefano said. “Policies such as giving illegal aliens billions of dollars and failing to rein in Medicare fraud are making matters worse and those of us who are not fleeing New York will be left to pick up the tab.”

Alexis Weik on the Legislature’s Passage of a Resolution to Permit Bars and Restaurants to Serve Patrons Beverages Without the Need of a Food Purchase The Legislature is finally taking baby steps toward its Constitutional obligation to be a co-equal branch of government. Today’s resolution to repeal the ridiculous Executive Order by the Governor that a patron of a bar or restaurant must order food when purchasing a beverage is the first step of many that need to be taken up by the Legislature to reopen our economy. This onerous requirement punished not only the patrons who have been forced to purchase items they did not want, but also the businesses that have lost customers for the same reason.

New York State Senator Alexis Weik pushes to lift mandatory Cuomo bar food mandate.

Today’s announcement by the Governor that it will still be another month until the

arbitrary curfew that bars and restaurants can remain open will be rescinded must be

immediately overturned by the Legislature.

Senator Anthony Palumbo

Palumbo Blasts Exorbitant Tax Hike Proposal Legislation Would Dramatically Increase Prices at the Pump and Home Heating Bills Senator Anthony Palumbo (R,C-New Suffolk) blasted the so-called climate and community investment act, a proposal being advanced by Albany Democrats that would increase the cost of gas by as much as fifty-five cents per gallon and increase home heating costs by more than twentyfive percent. “New York is already home to some of the highest gas taxes in the nation with residents having little to show from paying these higher rates,” said Senator Anthony Palumbo. “Now, Senate Democrats want to dramatically increase these already costly taxes--placing new, and excessive burdens on families and businesses throughout Long Island at the worst possible time.” The legislation would impose a carbon tax of $55 per ton of fossil fuel emissions in order to reach renewable energy mandates under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, passed by the Legislature in 2019. According to the Tax Foundation, New York currently has the 7th highest gas tax in the country, at 43.12 cents per gallon with California currently the highest at 62.47 cents per gallon. This legislation would raise New York’s tax to 98.12 cents per gallon, an increase of more than 127 percent, and would make New York’s gas tax more than 57 percent higher than any other state. New York State has repeatedly been named as one of the worst business tax climates in the nation by the Tax Foundation.

That rebate no longer exists, but over the decade the price of solar panels has halved and their output significantly increased.

Coupled with this, we had an “energy audit” done of leaks and other issues and took simple steps to make our more than century-old saltbox house energy efficient. We also have two rooftop solar panels that produce hot water. LIPA has been deeply involved in the major state initiative underway to place wind turbines well off our shores.

Councilwoman Bonner Presents Service Awards to Volunteers at the Daniel Hawkins House in Miller Place

On April 18, Councilwoman Jane Bonner attended a “Thank You” party and presented Service Awards in honor of the volunteers who donated time and funding to make improvements at the historic Hawkins House in Miller Place. Michael Eamotte and Eric Grotz (right photo) organized the effort with the help of Michael Ray Galleries, the hosts of the event. They were joined by members of the Miller Place Historical Society to thank the community members who helped make their vision come to life.

Pictured at left are John Marra, Henry Schultz, Eric Grotz, Ron Sacher, Debbie Michenzie, Margaret Cibulka, Michael Eamotte, Brian Maggio, Ann Donato, Councilwoman Jane Bonner and Sally Ditewig. Daniel Hawkins and his wife Anna built the house in 1810. Over the years, others have lived in the house and by the late 1990s it was in disrepair and finally donated to the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP BY KARL GROSSMAN “I’ve been doing this since I was 12,” Suffolk County Democratic Chair Rich Schaffer was saying the other day about his involvement in Suffolk politics. Now 57 years old, Mr. Schaffer has been the Suffolk Democratic chair since 2000. As county Democratic leader, “I especially love the generational stuff— getting young people into politics,” he said. It’s kind of full-circle for Rich. He’s a former member of the Suffolk County Legislature—elected to it at but age 22. On the legislature he charted an independent course—indeed, informed independence has been a hallmark of Mr. Schaffer’s route in Suffolk politics and government. He’s been Babylon Town supervisor for more than 18 years. After two series of terms, he is the longest-serving supervisor in Babylon history. And this year he’s running for re-election. “I’m a homebody, most comfortable staying local,” says Mr. Schaffer of North Babylon. “I love doing the supervisor’s job—I kind of love doing both, being supervisor and county Democratic chair.” And, also, he is chair of the Suffolk County Supervisor’s Association, I’ve known Rich for decades. He’s

always been—and still is—a selfeffacing, open and available guy. For example, he lists not only his office phone but his cell phone number on the Town of Babylon website for constituents to call.

A person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable may qualify for VA healthcare benefits. Reservists and National Guard members may also qualify for VA healthcare benefits if they were called to active duty (other than for training only) by a federal order and completed the full period for which they were called for or ordered to active duty.

Harbor, then a Republican, both environmentally and reform-minded. This independent quality continues.

Mr. Schaffer subsequently worked for Babylon Town Supervisor Tom Fallon and the town’s deputy supervisor, Pat Halpin, who became supervisor, and town board member Sondra Bachety, who became a county legislator and the first woman presiding officer of the legislature. Mr. Schaffer graduated as a political science major from SUNY Albany— where he further learned applied politics as its student association

Priority Groups 4-8 – Denote other eligibilities generally based medical conditions, combat status, environmental exposures and income. If you served in the active military service and were separated under any condition other than dishonorable you may qualify for VA health care benefits. Priority Groups 7 & 8 have to make copayments, and VA can bill their private insurance plans for reimbursement. However, there is no co-pay for X-rays, lab tests, or preventive tests and services like screening or immunization. Also there is no co-payment for geriatric (also called elder care) and extended care (also called long-term are) for the first 21 days of care in a 12-month period. Starting on the 22nd day of care, the VA will base co-pays on the level of care being received and the

seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. He’s told them that Mr. Bellone is “not statewide candidate material.” Rich left the county legislature in 1992 to be Babylon supervisor through 2001 and returned as supervisor in 2011. In recent elections he’s received 70 percent of the vote.

He was speaking the other day by Zoom to the Suffolk-based group Reachout and Rebuild, “a grassroots group of activists,” it describes itself. Starting by explaining how he began in Suffolk politics at 12, he said it was because “Tom Downey’s brother [Jeffrey] and I were good friends.” Mr. Downey had gone on to be elected to the House of Representatives after a stint as a Suffolk County legislator.

How many government officials do that!

VETERANS WAY All enrolled Veterans receive the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA’s) comprehensive Medical Benefits that include preventive, primary and specialty care, diagnostic, inpatient and outpatient care services. Veterans may receive additional benefits, such as dental care depending on their unique qualifications.

Rich Schaffer, Suffolk County Democratic Leader since 2000

He sees Suffolk as a “purple” county with Donald Trump winning here in 2020 by only 232 votes compared to 51,440 in 2016, and Democrats having successes in a variety of contests over the years. He also notes changing demographics are advantageous to Democrats.

And he won in 1987—a victory that led to his losing his law school scholarship, he noted. He had to finish up as an evening student and thus was not entitled to a scholarship. On the legislature, his independent bent included working closely with Legislator Fred W. Thiele, Jr. of Sag

For example, although Steve Bellone is the Democrat currently in Suffolk government’s top county job, county executive, Mr. Schaffer has firmly broken with him. This has included in recent times Mr. Schaffer corresponding with other Democratic chairs throughout New York warning them about Mr. Bellone who is

His efforts to get young people “more involved” in the Democratic Party includes promoting “Young Democrats” clubs and getting young people on the executive board of the Suffolk Democratic Committee. He’s encouraged minority candidates. Under his leadership, Errol Toulon, now Suffolk sheriff, became the first African-American in a countywide elected post, and DuWayne Gregory, the first AfricanAmerican to be presiding officer of the legislature.

Basic Medical Benefits for Veterans financial information provided on the Application for Extended Care Services (VA Form 10-10EC).The co-payments for medications are generally much less than those you would pay in the local

drug stores.

VETERANS IDENTIFICATION CARD

The VA provides eligible veterans with a Veterans Identification Card (VIC) for use at the Medical Facilities. The VIC protects the privacy of veteran’s sensitive information, as it no longer displays the social security number or date of birth on the front of the card. The VIC will only display the veteran’s name, picture and special eligibility indicators connected to the veteran such as Purple Heart or former POW. Only veterans who are eligible for VA medical benefits will receive the cars. Help is available to you by calling the local VA hospital in Northport, (631) 261-4400 or Veterans Crisis Line 1-800-273-8255, press 1 to talk to a veteran or have a confidential chat at >VeteransCrisisLine.net< or text to 838255.

THE BETTOR ANGLE

TM

Trader Joe ... and Dave

BY TOM BARTON Wheelin and Dealin was the theme of the night for both New York teams on Thursday night as both teams made some aggressive moves in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The night began with the Jaguars taking one of the most obvious picks in recent memory selecting Trevor Lawrence #1 overall. Lawrence held a ridiculous - 10,000 betting line. Then the Jets were on the clock and to no one’s surprise New York took Zach Wilson to be their new QB. Wilson held a -2500 betting line after Sam Darnold was traded away, this was another no brainer. The night then became one for the record books. Trading was hot and heavy for much of the draft and the New York Giants

were one of the teams benefitting from desperate clubs needing a QB. The Chicago Bears saw their opportunity and offered Big Blue a package they couldn’t say no to. To move up, the Bears sent their 2022 first-round pick, a 2021 fifth-round pick, a 2022 fourthround pick and Chicago’s 20th overall pick in this year’s draft. It was an absolute mega package for Gettleman and the GMen. The Giants would sit and wait for their chance to pick but suddenly the Jets were back on the clock. Gang Green traded the 23rd, 66th, and 86th overall picks in the 2021 draft to Minnesota in exchange for the 14th and 143rd selections. They had their QB, now was the time to get someone to protect him. Something many

Jets fans argued the franchise refused to do with Darnold. The Jets selected guard out of USC Alijah Vera-Tucker. Finally the Giants were on the clock and after targeting playmakers for their first pick but trading down New York still was able to get a weapon. Kadarius Toney might not have Heisman pedigree, nor is he the level of Chase or Waddle, but trading down, getting a monster haul and still walking away with a playmaker at the position you targeted is a win win. Overall the 2021 NFL Draft was exciting and active for New York fans. Now let’s see if it pans out on the field.

ON THE SEA BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE

First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

Last time, we talked about power (watts) and distance (height.) You want to have a lot of both, especially if you are the one sending the may-day. But as the song goes, “Is that all there is…?” As always, no. This article is about that.

Give Me Gain!

If you’ve ever bought an antenna, it notes how many “dB’s”(decibels) of “gain” it has. This is a very important element in selecting an antenna. Without a good antenna, your radio isn’t much better than a paper-weight. Gain, for the private boater, comes usually in 3 “sizes” – 3dBs, 6dBs and 9dBs. But what is it? Gain is simply the measure of how focused the antenna is in taking the signal from the radio and, at a given wattage, shaping the rifle bullet of energy that it sends to the horizon. The higher the dBs, the more focused the beam of energy – the sharper the “rifle bullet” rather than the “buck-shot” of a shot-gun. And greater focus, going back to the last column on radios, leads to greater distance and greater effective power, meaning more of the wattage gets turned into distance over the water, as you send out your may-day. Sometimes… Let’s go back to the firearm analogy. If you’ve ever gone hunting, you know you hunt for birds with a shot-

gun. Why? Because the birds are all over the sky and if you have to hit one bird with one bullet, you had better be a pretty darn good rifleman. But that “spread” of buckshot comes at a cost – power/distance. It will take down a duck – but not a roe buck. For the power to take down a deer, you need to penetrate a highly muscled animal of several hundred pounds and hit a vital place. For that, you need focused power – a rifle. Oddly, radio gain is just like that.

Safety of Life at Sea: Your Radio – Shot-Gun or Rifle? (50 x 2) antenna is going to send that radio beam into outer space as if it were shot out of a rifle. And when the boat is on the way down the wave, it is firing the radio beam

radio tower or another boat’s antenna. Now, if the gain were lower, instead of a rifle shot, you are getting a spread. Even when the boat is pointing into outer space,

So, what to choose? Most skippers go with 6dB as that is the mid-point between distance (9dB) and spread (3dB). For those skippers with enough real estate and “moola”, two radios and two antennas gives them the optimum result. They use a 3-dB (or 6-dB) for the inside (lower) helm where they drive the boat in heavy weather and 9-dB for the upper or outside helm when the seas are flat.

All The Power Has To Go Somewhere!

Let’s think mathematically for a moment. 10 x 10 = 100, as does 50 x 2. If that were real estate, no one would want a living room that was 50 x 2, even if it was the same size in square feet as someone whose living room was 10 x 10. But gain is all about that. High gain creates a focused beam – like the 50 x 2 living room. Lower gain creates the wider footprint – 10 x 10 living room. All the power coming out of the radio has to go somewhere (we’ll leave “minor lobes” for the radio-philes for another day) and that is why, in this example, both examples result in 100. If 50 is the distance, that is better than 10, for sure. Unless, like a shot-gun, you need spread. Then 10 is better than 2… Like when the boat is rocking… as the boat rises to the crest of a wave, a high gain

when the boat is plowing down the wave into the trough, some of that signal is getting out, rather than being beamed into the back of the wave ahead, since the gain (rifle v shot-gun) is lower…

Lastly, where should you put the radio itself? As far from your compass as possible… Why? The speaker has a big magnet in it. If the compass “sees” that, it will point to it and think it is the North Pole (magnetic.) In any event, once you have installed your radio, develop a “deviation table” for your boat’s compass so you know how to adjust for readings under way. What’s a deviation table and how do you create one? That’s a lesson for another day… into the back of the wave ahead of it. In this scenario, high gain works against you since the boat has to be just at the crest of the wave, essentially parallel to sea-level, for that radio beam to shoot out straight ahead and hopefully hit something – like a USCG

some part of that radio beam is being “shotgunned” straight across the wave tops. In the simplistic but illustrative example above, it is only going 10 units of distance over the water – instead of 50… But, even

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at joinuscgaux@ aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing…”
