KEVIN TIRMAN, lEfT, and Sal Martella prepare to fire their rifles.

Hundreds of people of all ages gathered under gloomy skies to honor and thank veterans for their service during Elmont Post 1033’s annual Veterans Day parade last Friday.

Several elected officials, the Girl and Boy Scouts, the fire department, students of the Dutch Broadway Elementary School, Alden Terrace School and others marched from the American Legion building on Hill Avenue to Hempstead Avenue toward Veterans Square, at

Covert Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike.

Once the marchers arrived at Veterans Square, Elmont Post 1033 Commander Lecia Rodriques-Whyte spoke about the meaning of Veterans Day and specific customs, such as the playing of taps for veterans who have died. The day before the parade, members of Elmont Post 1033 visited the participating schools and were welcomed with cards made by the students.

Red Road is now ‘NY Islanders Way’ at UBS Arena

By KEPHERD DANIEl and ANA BoRRUTo kdaniel@liherald.com, aborruto@liherald.com

The New York Islanders are celebrating their 50th anniversary as a hockey franchise, Last year, the organization opened the UBS Arena in Elmont, and the team recently joined the town in unveiling a new name for a heavily traveled road adjacent to the arena.

Red Road, which lies next to the Silver and Diamond parking lots of UBS, has been renamed NY Islanders Way. The Islanders were established as an NHL team in 1972, and their original home was the

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale. They would go on to win four consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1980 to 1983. Officials said that 2022 marks the 50th year of a strong partnership between the Islanders and the Town of Hempstead.

“This is a monumental and important milestone in the evolution of the building,” UBS Arena President Kim Stone said.

“We’re putting a stamp on this for the community to see and come and enjoy for many generations. We’re pleased to continue to honor the New York Islanders and their fans during this special 50th anniversary season

with the unveiling of the name.

This building is a fabric of the community as well. We want to be that symbol.”

Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said the Islanders and the team’s co-owner, Jon Ledecky, have meant a great deal to the community.

“I think something that’s really special is the relationship that he has created with the fans,” Clavin said. “I love it when I walk around town and the Islanders’ players walk around with their family members and take photos with kids, and I think it really stems from Jon’s leadership with his team. He’s at every one of these games. He’s

embracing all these fans. He’s hanging out with them and you can see that hockey thrives in him. The Islanders are thriving and they are lucky to have him as the owner.”

Ledecky said, “The islanders’ nation is strong and it’s incredible. The naming of NY Islanders Way during the 50th anniversary season is the latest illustration

of the great partnership between the Islanders, the UBS Arena and the Town of Hempstead. It’s a privilege for us to be in our beautiful new home, and we are thrilled to be part of the future of Elmont. The Islanders are the people’s team. Ownership always wants to be great neighbors and do what’s right for the Continued on page 10

Local toy drive delivers the gift of love

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of giving is in the air, which signals it’s time for Eileen’s Gift of Love toy drive — a holiday tradition for the last 34 years in Franklin Square.

Franklin Square resident Maria Sonner started the toy drive in memory of her mother, Eileen Ziegler, who died in 1988.

Sonner’s mother had a love of baby toy dolls, and shopping for the dolls for her children was one of her favorite Christmas activities. “She made our Christmases spectacular, down to every little ribbon and detail,” Sonner said.

After her mother passed away, that year while Sonner was shopping, she saw a porcelain doll in Macy’s that she thought her mother would love. She brought the doll to her mother’s grave but instead of leaving it there, she consulted with her neighbor and close friend, Monsignor Fred Schaefer, who suggested that she donate the doll to a local family struggling to provide toys for their children during the holiday season.

“I came home with this toy and I was crying,” Sonner said. “He sat me down and explained to me how many families were hurting and in need.”

That year, Sonner founded Eileen’s Gift of Love toy drive, collecting and donating thousands of toys each holiday season.

“I started telling my family and friends

about it and everybody wanted to contrib- got toys in the thousands.”

This year, the Sonner family created an ute a toy to these families,” Sonner said.

“Within three days, I had three huge bags Amazon registry and those who visit the filled with toys.

always wanted to give parents the dignity that they would be able to provide a Christmas for their child.”

Florida, she returns home annually to help with the toy drive. She recalls carrying toys into church basements and enjoying hot chocolate when she was younger.

“This has been my favorite event of the holidays since I was five years old,” she said. “It is a whole event when the toys get picked up and when we deliver them.

Every member of our family and friends all (get) together for that day, and that’s probably the one day of the holiday season that we actually got everybody together in the same room. To me, the toy drive has always been Christmas.”

Sonner is scheduled to speak at Morton Civic Association’s annual holiday tree lighting on Dec. 10, where the civic group will request toy donations. The Sonner family has already received hundreds of toys for the occasion. While family members are asking that all the toys be given to them by the tree lighting, they are collecting toys throughout the year for the annual drive, which Sonner said her mother could never have imagined.

“I think she would be blown away,” Sonner said. “My parents instilled rich traditions, faith, family and giving back. It wouldn’t be out of her realm that we would do something loving and caring, but she would have never expected it to be so huge of a toy drive.

“Sometimes you get gifts in life you’re not expecting, and I think the toy drive was a gift to help me with my grief,” she added.

Rodriques-Whyte said the parade produces a great turnout each year, especially the first celebration after a C OV I D - 1 9 h i a t u s , which featured twirlers, school bands and other performances that moved the post commander “to tears.”

She said LeCiA rodriques-Whyte she is grateful to be able to continue the Elmont Post 1033 parade tradition and bring it back to its original grand scale.

Ralph Esposito, director of the Nassau County Veterans Service Agency and organizer of the parade, said that when it comes to participation, the Elmont community does not hesitate to step up for a good cause.

“It’s all about harmony and respect,” Esposito said. “This is the best post on Long Island in my eyes. They go everywhere and do everything, and it means so much for us to have the community show up.”

Jillian Soute-Nelson served in the Gulf War 30 years ago and met Erica Hitch-Graham when they both served in the military in the same unit at the 808th Station Hospital.

“It brings back memories, the camaraderie with coming together with people who actually know what we experienced as veterans, the ones who went to war,” SouteNelson said.

The veteran added that their service leaves a legacy for future generations to be inspired by.

“These are the future leaders and military personnel,” Soute-Nelson said. “(We’re) planting seeds in their brains and in doing that, they will look at us and feel proud.”

The funds come from the U.S. Department of Education’s Centers of Excellence for Veteran Student Success Grant Program.

Madison Beer hosts concert and food drive mwilson@liherald.com

The holidays are filled with plenty of food — but not for everyone. That’s why Nassau County officials have teamed up with Long Island Cares and Island Harvest food banks to make sure everyone eats on Thanksgiving.

And they’re getting a little celebrity help along the way from singer-songwriter Madison Beer.

Born and raised in Jericho before moving out west to pursue her music career, the 23-year-old Beer returns to Long Island on Wednesday, Nov. 23, to host the “End Hunger Thanksgiving Celebration” at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale.

It doesn’t cost money to attend, but everyone who shows up beginning at 3:30 p.m., are asked to bring at least one nonperishable food item. The celebration will focus on Beer’s accomplishments — beginning with her early days as a teenager on YouTube singing covers of her favorite songs. She shot into stardom after another young performer, Justin Bieber, linked to one of her videos.

Beer also will bring attention to hunger and the culture of giving, according to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.

Beer “has become a very, very influential person, especially with the young people throughout the world,” Blakeman said

Mallory Wilson/Herald

RANdI ShuBIN dReSNeR, the president and chief executive of Island Harvest, thanked Nassau County Executive Blakeman for including her organization and Long Island Cares in the ‘End Hunger Thanksgiving Celebration.’ The free event — set for Wednesday, Nov. 23 — will be hosted by Long Island-born singer-songwriter Madison Beer, and will double as a food collection drive. outside of Nassau Coliseum earlier this week. “We are trying to create a culture here in Nassau County and throughout the country — and throughout the world — of giving: Giving to people who need a little bit more help.”

The county also will proclaim Nov. 23 “Madison Beer Day.”

“I always look forward to coming home for the holidays,” Beer said in a statement. “But it’s that much sweeter coming home for an event like this one that will help so many.”

Beer has more than 30 million followers on Instagram and Twitter, Blakeman said.

“She’s somebody that — certainly peo-

ple throughout the world, and especially young people — have recognized as someone that is very, very talented,” he said.

“We’re so happy that she is coming back to Nassau County so we can honor her, but at the same time give back to the community and make sure that everybody gets the food that they require so that they can have a happy holiday.”

Randi Shubin Dresner, the president and chief executive of Island Harvest, told reporters it was “very kind,” of Blakeman to involve the two food banks in this program.

Beer, she said, is someone who “knows about our community, and clearly she understands that there are so many people who are struggling here on Long Island.

With the rising costs at the gas pump and the rising costs at the supermarket, people who were just making ends meet are now having to struggle and find additional dollars to just feed their family and put food on the table.”

Donations are down right now, according to Jessica Rosati, chief programs officer for Long Island Cares.

Yet between the two organizations, well over 20 million pounds of food is distributed across Long Island, Dresner said. And that number has increased “quite a bit” from pre-pandemic times.

Seating for the celebration is limited to 15,000, and requires advanced registration at NassauCountyNY.gov. Doors open at 3:30 p.m., with the show starting at 5.

We are now offering until 12/31/22

How to handle criticism like a pro!

Want to reduce the stress in your life? Want to give yourself a great gift that keeps on giving and giving, yet is affordable and super useful?

If you can imagine a gift that’s not boxed or store-bought, yet is something special, then I have that gift for you. I can teach you how to hear other people’s criticism in a way that’ll make you feel empowered rather than weakened.

So empowered that you’ll not need to become defensive, enraged, victimized, or retaliate.

“What are you kidding,” I hear you saying. “I’ve no interest in a pre-frontal lobotomy.”

“Lucky for you; I have yet to open the book, “Brain Surgery for Dummies.”

“Well then,” you might reply, “how can you expect me not to be hurt or angry when I’m criticized? Especially if the criticism is unfair, shouted out in anger, or name-calling designed to make me feel guilty.”

“Well, I didn’t say it would be easy, especially if you feel the criticism is

harsh, habitual, or undeserved. And I didn’t say it wouldn’t take time to put this gift into practice. But you’ve got to begin somewhere. Why not right now?”

S o l e t ’s b e g i n . To acquire this wondrous gift, you must be willing to pause and reflect rather than have a knee-jerk reaction. To do so, you must put the rational part of your brain in charge, and let the reptilian part take a nap.

You need to stay calm rather than respond right inda away. You don’t need to b e c o m e d e f e n s ive o r attack. You’re not a victim, unless you make yourself one.

Then you need to: ■ Ask the criticizer to clarify his critique. (Do you often see me as being harsh? If so, please give me one or two other instances.)

Person to Person

L

Once you’re calm, ask yourself: ■ What part of the criticism do I agree with? (Yup, I was a bit harsh.)

■ What part of the criticism do I disagree with? (No, I’m not always harsh.)

■ Reframe the hurtful criticism. (It’s not that I don’t care about you, it’s that I wasn’t focused on you at that moment.)

Sapadin

■ Remove the sting by adding the word “sometimes” or “this time.” (I recognize that sometimes I interrupt you. This time, I admit I was insensitive.)

■ Accept the feedback. (I admit I could’ve been more sensitive, but I hope you know I didn’t set out to hurt you.)

■ You might even express gratitude. (I had no idea that when I get agitated, I’m hurting you. Thanks for the feedback.)

Okay, you get the idea!

■ You can be angry or hurt that you’ve been criticized, but you don’t have to hang onto those emotions.

■ You can filter out the hurtful part of the criticism and take in the helpful part.

■ You can change a massive assault on your personality into a simple criticism of something you did or didn’t do.

■ You can be criticized cruelly yet not respond in kind. Indeed, it’s always a losing strategy to let others drag you down to their level.

The bottom line, you can be criticized and still not lose your power. I hope you begin putting these ideas into practice as soon as possible. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

ect ALS. She said her space at the boutique will feature a selection of gold, silver and pink shimmery wine bottles, an assortment of gift boxes, wine glasses and more.

“I love our mission, I love our impact — my hope is to make a difference,” Carlton said. “I’m just thrilled to be able to donate money and help out all these amazing nonprofits through something as simple as wine.”

Callaghan is a longtime supporter and volunteer for Rescuing Families and her business, Fuzzy Dice Finds, is a collection of automotive-type décor, vintage signs and other 1950s-era memorabilia.

“This particular collection was a business born from a collector’s 1950s multiple car garage — a 10,000-squarefoot space with probably more than a dozen real vintage, minted-out ’50s cars,” Callaghan said.

The antiquarian said she has participated in almost every Rescuing Families’ charity event and is happy to be a part of the holiday gift boutique.

“Gina is an outstanding person and I wish her nothing but the best always,” Callaghan said.

Rescuing Families, Inc. will have its own table at the holiday boutique, consisting of comic books, baseball cards, brand-new clothing and handbags. Centauro said the event is open to all ages and there is a $5 entry fee to participate.

The charity founder said she expects an excellent turnout for the premiere event, with most of the fundraisers the non-profit hosts intentionally held at Franklin Square’s VFW Post 2718, Centauro added.

“We want to support them because they are so supportive of the community,” Centauro said. “It’s like an open house, so people understand that our VFW is able to host events like this.”

By ANA BORRUTO aborruto@liherald.com

The holidays are right around the corner and Rescuing Families, Inc. is hosting a new event in Franklin Square, where shoppers can jump-start their gift buying for a great cause.

Rescuing Families, Inc., a Franklin Square-based nonprofit organization, assists struggling homeowners with disabilities or financial hardships with home rehab or modifications.

Gina Centauro, co-founder of Rescuing Families, Inc., is putting together the group’s first-ever holiday gift boutique on Nov. 19 at the VFW Post 2718, at 68 Lincoln Road.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors can browse an array of 30 craft and artisan vendors, as well as vintage items, collectibles and antiques. Centauro said she participated in craft shows for more than 20 years and started a business to make some extra money at the time.

“A lot of (the vendors) are stay-at-home moms,” Centauro said. “I thought what a great opportunity around the holidays to do something that not only helps our charity but it helps all local businesses and crafters get the word out a little bit earlier than Black Friday.”

Centauro confirmed that 90 percent of the vendors are strictly crafters, meaning all of their merchandise is handmade, including jewelry, soaps, baked goods, stitchery, holiday wreaths and more. The remaining 10 percent of the vendors plan to sell vintage items, antiques and collectibles.

Two of the vendors are Darci Carlton of ONEHOPE Wine and Terri Callaghan of Fuzzy Dice Finds.

Islanders fans show support for renaming holding the new NY Islanders Way sign outside Elmont’s UBS Arena were, from left, Dale Hayes, an Islanders fan who lives in Canada, team co-owner Jon Ledecky and Hayes’s friend Joe Mesa.

Continued from front page fans.”

Some of the most hardcore Islanders’ fans were on hand in Elmont to witness the street renaming. Dale Hayes, a 60-year-old retired police officer from Ottawa, Canada, was visiting New York with his best friend, Joe Mesa, to take part in a charity gala to benefit the Three Strohm Sisters Family Foundation, a non-profit founded by three sisters — Kathleen Sarna, Lucille Montrony and Jane Stranzcuk — who all battled breast cancer. The two fans would attend Thursday night’s game against the Arizona Coyotes and witnessed the unveiling of the new street name.

Hayes is a hockey lover who previously held season tickets for the Ottawa 67’s, a junior ice hockey team that plays in the Ontario Hockey League. He showed favoritism for one particular player, Denis Potvin, who played for the Ottawa 67’s from 1968 to 1973. Hayes said he loved the way Potvin played and knew he would follow Potvin for the rest of his hockey career.

“I told my father, ‘Whatever team drafts him, other than the New York Rangers and the Montreal Canadiens, that is going to be my team,’” Hayes said.

The Islanders drafted Potvin first overall in 1973, and he later became the team’s captain and a three-time Norris Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defenseman while helping lead the Islanders to four Stanley Cup championships. After 15 seasons, Potvin retired in 1988 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991 and Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.

Ledecky offered Hayes and Mesa tickets to Saturday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets during their visit and a tour of the arena.

Hayes said he and Mesa planned to stay in New York an extra two days “just to have this honor.”

“I’m pretty touched,” Hayes said. “You have no idea

Ana Borruto/Herald

how this makes me feel — I’m actually thinking of coming back here now in the spring and bringing my wife, but I can say that I was here for their 50th year.”

Mesa said it was an amazing feeling being at the UBS Arena in Elmont and watching his friend live out one of his lifelong aspirations.

“It’s my first time being here and seeing my friend really happy, supporting him, it’s just unbelievable,” Mesa said.

“It’s his dream, his bucket list.”

Step inside an enchanting adventure in Disney on Ice’s

By Karen Bloom As the calendar moves WHERE through November, another ice extravaganza from the Disney WHEN folks is sure to find its way here. This season’s production • Now through Sunday, brings together two of Disney’s Nov. 20. Times vary. blockbuster films as the beloved Tickets start at $20 (pricing stories come to life on ice — “as may fluctuate based on demand); available at never before,” according to the Ticketmaster.com Disney folks.

• UBS Arena, 2400 The spectacle, which runs Hempstead Turnpike, through Nov. 20 at UBS Arena Elmont in Elmont, transports audiences to the heart of the icy world in Arendelle and the Madrigal family’s casita in Columbia. And, of course, the action is guided by everyone’s favorite “hosts” — Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy — who keep the energetic show moving along through each segment.

After the dramatic opening sequence, you’ll enter the world of “Frozen,’ narrated by Olaf, the lovable snowman who likes warm hugs and all things summer. He’ll take everyone to Arendelle to help Anna find Elsa, whose icy powers unleashed an eternal winter. Kristoff and Sven will be there, too, as they race to bring back summer.

Then it’s time to visit with the Madrigals, that extraordinary family who charm everyone in “Encanto.” We follow Mirabel’s quest to save the casita, her enchanted family home alongside her sisters: Isabela — whose perfection radiates with her ability to make plants grow and flowers bloom with every step — and Luisa, with the gift of super strength that she uses to help her village move buildings and reroute rivers.

Meet Tia Pepa, who can

control the weather with her emotions. Her husband, Felix. Their daughter Dolores, with her gift to hear. And, yes, the mysterious Bruno, the misunderstood Madrigal family member whose visions foretold the future.

Think of this production as a singalong on ice, accompanied by dramatic skating. From beginning to end, audiences are immediately drawn to their favorite tunes, highlighted, of course, by the power ballad “Let It Go” and the boppy “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

“I’m extremely proud of this show,” says Artistic Director Adam Loosely.

“Disney on Ice continues to combine athletics and skating to tell a really good story. This particular production is all about contrasts (from design and costume to storyline) from the cold blues of ‘Frozen’ to the warm South American culture and colors of ‘Encanto.’

It comes together in such a meaningful way.”

Stepping in to helm the production as firsttime artistic director, Loosely admits to feeling what he described as “a little anxiety initially during the process. “My nerves started to fade away when I realized the whole (creative) team had the same vision. ‘Frozen’ has resonated with people for years and years. It seems we can’t have an ice show without ‘Let It Go.’” As for “Encanto,” audiences are seeing these characters on ice for the first time. “The response has been really rewarding for our cast,” Loosely says.

And for that cast, Loosely points out that the production is much more than a retelling of the two movies. The skaters’ athleticism shines in their displays of aerial acrobatics and skating technique, setting the tone with the opening number. “It truly highlights the talent of the cast, with solos, pairs and plenty of skating style changes.”

“It’s a beautiful, optimistic show, which we need after two plus years of the pandemic,” he adds. “Spend two hours and leave with a smile on your face.

We all deserve that.”

YES: Close to the Edge Tour

The pioneering rockers are back on stage in celebration of the 50th anniversary of their famed album, ‘Close to the Edge.’ With an ever growing fan base, YES continues to electrify audiences with daunting virtuosity, complex musical textures and powerful lead vocals. ‘Close to the Edge’ is widely considered one of their most defining albums, not only for YES but for the whole progressive movement. It became an inspiration for their contemporaries and for successive generations of musicians.

Experience an unforgettable evening of YES at its best, featuring its existential prog masterworks and instrumental pyrotechnics. The band — featuring core members Steve Howe on guitars along with keyboardist Geoff Downes, singer Jon Davison and bassist Billy Sherwood — will play the iconic album in its entirety plus a set of classic YES hits.

Saturday, Nov. 19, 8 p.m. NYCB Theatre at Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury. Tickets are available at TheTheatreAtWestbury. com, LiveNation.com or (516) 247-5200.

Kirk Whalum

A familiar presence on the Madison Theatre stage with his gospel concerts, Kirk Whalum returns with a performance that demonstrates his versatile command of his sax and devotion to jazz in all its forms.

Soulful, passionate, stirring — these are the words most often used to describe Whalum’s music. Forged from his Memphis, Tennessee, gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston nightclub scene, Whalum’s big, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. An ordained minister, he is the recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgments for his musical excellence, including a Grammy (2011) for Best Gospel Song (‘It’s What I Do,’ featuring Lalah Hathaway). In a career spanning decades, Whalum has a sound that is uniquely his — a sound that leaves an indelible imprint.

Saturday, Nov. 19, 8 p.m. $40-$95.

Dozens of backpacks were donated to families in need.

Franklin Square families receive backpacks Long Island Reach, a multi-service agency providing a broad range of rehabilitative and treatment services to youth and their families, donated 32 backpacks to 32 families in need on Nov. 2.

A. The house you’re referring to seems to be like one in almost every neighborhood, but I haven’t seen any single-lot parks popping up anywhere. Maybe the reason it doesn’t happen is because you can’t just seize someone’s property.

If that were the case, what would stop your neighbors from taking your property? onte eeper Every once in a while, when I’m sitting in a public zoning hearing, someone appears and makes a statement at the microphone just like what you are suggesting. I think they, too, are expecting a light bulb to appear above everyone else’s head when they suddenly realize what a genuinely great idea that was. But instead of trying to condemn someone else’s property, it may be better to gain some idea about what is really going on. I have often had to do this in the course of exploring options for potential buyers.

In some cases, such as a shopping center that continued to lose and not replace businesses, the owner lived a thousand miles away, and was just using the property as a tax write-off while they waited for the market to change and just sell. The condition had already existed for over a decade before someone asked me to look into the conditions and search the records. The property did improve after violations were issued that forced the owner to respond in court. The same may be the course of action for the property you are describing.

Some people are only compelled by legal action, while others will respond to a warning. I have seen many instances in which the owner is just financially, physically or mentally incapable of responding in the way you want them to. I have even driven people in these circumstances to meetings with authorities, especially when New York Rising had funding available to help them. None of the individuals, even with financial assistance, followed through, either from distrust of authorities or a realization that they might have to pay money they just did not have or they could not deal with the change in their lives.

If you are inclined to look further into the circumstances of the owner, you may learn the reason(s) for the conditions being what they are. In a free country (so far), you may not like how your neighbors live, but we still don’t have the control to just take their property. Your recourse is to try to understand why the property is this way, and help, if you can, report them to authorities and become the “squeaky wheel,” or take your own personal legal action. Good luck!

The scary house down the block

Q. There is a house in my neighborhood, just a few doors away, that has never been taken care of. I know someone lives there, but they don’t seem to care about how their home looks, and I wonder: Is there a way to get the community together, tear the house down and turn it into a park? It would look a lot better.

y all accounts, Russia is losing its unprovoked war against Ukraine. It has lost thousands of troops, spent the equivalent of billions of dollars, and become an international pariah. As a result of the ruinous war, Russia is also losing something that has always been precious to its national pride — its position as a leader in the world’s space programs.

The country that stunned the world — and shook up the United States — with the launch on Oct. 4, 1957, of the satellite Sputnik, is JAMES falling further and behind in BERNSTEIN further civil space exploration, according to experts. Its military space program, however, remains robust, those experts say.

“The Russian space industry is in an obvious state of crisis,” Asif Siddiqi, an authority on Russia’s space program who teaches history at Fordham University, told an industry publication.

Partly to help fund Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin recently said he planned to slash funding for space flight activities at least

T

until 2024. The sharpest cuts will be in manufacturing technology and development. Money for scientific research will be cut entirely.

The decline of the Russian space program is not new. It began after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. That kicked off a brain drain from Russian.

The need to fund the Ukraine war only accelerated the degradation of Russian space efforts.

Additionally, jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has made allegations of widespread corruption across the country’s space industry, with money disappearing into the hands of oligarchs.

Russia does not have a rover on the far side of the moon. China does. It does not have orbiters circling Mars. China, Indian and the United Arab Emirates do.

Russia does not have a fleet of space telescopes, as does the United States.

“We’ve fallen behind on the science program,” said Igor Marinin, head of the Russian industry publication Novosti Kosmonavtiki. “We’ve forgotten how to make and fly unmanned probes.”

Of course, it was not always this way.

The United States and much of the world trembled when the Soviets put Sputnik

Y

into space, leading politicians and military leaders to proclaim that we were failing in space.

Concern deepened in 1961, when the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly to outer space, aboard the Vostok 1 capsule. He completed one orbit of Earth. Meanwhile, as the American novelist Tom Wolfe wrote in his highly acclaimed book, “The Right Stuff,” “our rockets kept exploding” on the launch pad.

But what does the current demise of Russia’s space program mean for the United States? John Logsdon, who teaches at George Washington University and who is often called the “dean of space policy,” said in a phone interview last week that we can no longer count on the Russians as partners on the International Space Station, or on other space projects in the future. Russian cosmonauts still fly aboard the space station, but Russia has said that it even plans to withdraw from that program.

For the United States, Logsdon said, the new competitor is China. The Chinese program has overseen the development and launch of ballistic missiles, thousands of satellites, manned space

uri Gagarin is all but forgotten, and China has an orbiting space station.

flight and a space station, and it plans to explore the Moon, Mars and the wider solar system.

In a display of its growing prowess, China launched a cargo mission to its newly completed space station last weekend. The 35-foot-long cargo spacecraft docked Nov. 12 with the Tiangong station on Saturday, according to a Chinese news release. As is typical of the country’s news media, few details were released publicly. But according to space experts, the freighter was carrying propellant for the space station, as well as some scientific experiments.

In recent months, China launched two modules to join its already orbiting space station, which is about 20 percent large than the U.S.- and European-built International Space Station. It is expected to be occupied and operational for at least 10 years.

Our approach to China in space has been entirely negative. In 2011, Congress banned NASA from hosting Chinese visitors at U.S. space facilities. Two years later, Congress banned Chinese nationals from entering NASA facilities without a waiver from NASA. Nevertheless, Logsdon said, “The Chinese space program is advancing.”

Thankful, mindful and watchful this holiday

hankful, mindful and watchful this holiday The midterm elections proved that you can’t put lipstick on a pig. Well, maybe you can try, but eventually folks will see through the cover-up.

That expression, “lipstick on a pig,” pops up from time to time during elections. In 2008, President Barack Obama said that a supposedly new economic plan proposed by his opponents, John McCain and Sarah Palin, was nothing new, “just putting lipstick on a pig.” Republicans went ballisRANDI tic, accusing KREISS Obama of slyly associating the pig patter with Palin. Obama said his comment was about policy, not people. Anyway, he wasn’t the first or the last to use the expression, which, you must admit, conjures a compelling visual.

This election season, the GOP sent forth dozens of MAGA election deniers to run for important and influential offices across the country. Republican influencers in and out of government, complemented by seriously delusional

fringe groups like QAnon, tried their best to put lipstick on these pigs, but they didn’t fly. Fortunately, most of the Republicans who were elected or reelected to office aren’t conspiracy theorists or election deniers.

This seems like a low bar, but there it is. Don’t we all want a fair fight in the campaigns for office? And when someone clearly wins, don’t we all want to see the opponent concede defeat and move on? Thank goodness that’s what happened most often in the days after Nov. 8.

I am relieved and thankful, as we prepare to gather for Thanksgiving, that the worst-case predictions for a toxic MAGA wave did not happen. Some Trumpian candidates prevailed, but more were defeated. Voters looked at extremist candidates, anointed by the former president, and they said no. Not all the votes are counted in all the contests, and in Georgia there will be a runoff for a Senate seat, but overall the process has been peaceful and civil — and consequential.

Are we finally reaching a point where Americans on all sides of the political landscape share a vision for a safe democracy? Are we there yet? Can we

M

count on folks to trust election results?

Will candidates fight the good fight and retreat with grace if they lose? We don’t know yet if this midterm portends big changes for the better and a return to relative normal, but the indications are promising. It was not a rout. Rioters did not take to the streets.

The cooling of the political fever gripping the nation allows us to gather at our respective Thanksgiving tables and truly give thanks. I am so thankful for the greatest gift we can enjoy in this life: peace of mind. We all experience occasional setbacks and losses, but with peace of mind we can negotiate our difficult life passages.

This isn’t November 2020 or November 2021, when the pandemic was burning through our population. We still have about 40,000 new Covid cases a day, but we have vaccines and anti-virals, greater understanding of the disease and less panic. At the height of the pandemic surge, it was difficult to find peace.

On Thanksgiving 2020, my husband and I sat down to a chicken rather than a turkey. We were grateful for one another but terribly lonely for our kids, who live plane flights away and couldn’t risk trav-

uch has changed since we sat down to a Thanksgiving chicken in 2020.

el during the fury of the pandemic.

The years of Covid restrictions and isolation offered random gifts as well: learning to find strength we didn’t know was there, finding ways to connect with loved ones through words and Zooms and eye to eye, six feet apart. I would never wish it for character-building, but living through a pandemic has heightened our zest for life and attuned us to the nourishing rhythms of nature.

I noticed recently that many people, rather than saying goodbye, now say “stay safe” when they come and go. That speaks to our relatively new belief that the ground can shift under our feet in an instant. Some threats can be mitigated and some blindside us, but we survivors of the pandemic and the political maelstrom have been changed by these years.

We say “stay safe” as a kind of hope and benediction for our friends and loved ones.

I hope you are blessed with friends and mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and children and grandchildren and neighbors at your Thanksgiving table. Along with peace of mind, let there be delicious turkey and sweet potatoes and cranberries and pies, all the traditional foods that anchor us to this time and place, and to one another.

The power of concession

ou’ve likely never heard the name William Jennings Bryan, as he’s not among those regularly talked about in history books. But his contribution to democracy should be indelible, after a simple telegram sent he sent to William McKinley on Nov. 5, 1896, forever changed how we approached elections.

“Sen. Jones has just informed me that the returns indicate your election, and I hasten to extend my congratulations,” Bryan said in the telegram. “We have submitted the issue to the American people, and their will is law.”

Conceding an election isn’t required by law, which is why what Bryan — in his first of three runs for president — did was all the more unique at the time. He didn’t have to do it by statute, but he had to do it in the spirit of democracy.

Such concessions have become a staple of our election process at all levels. Candidates battle it out over issues and who can best represent the people, and once the people have made their decision, they accept it. Even if that decision doesn’t favor you, all for a peaceful transfer of power.

Not that making a concession is easy.

Far from it. Candidates invest so much of themselves into their campaigns that to suddenly make an about-face and watch someone else get awarded what they had fought for can be heartbreaking. Still, no matter how hot the debate was among the candidates, once the decision has been made, it’s time to return to the real job at hand: governing.

When we think of concessions, we’re likely to think of those in races for our country’s highest office first.

“Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States.

And I promised him that I wouldn’t call him back this time,” then-Vice President

Al Gore said in a Dec. 13, 2000, address, even joking about rescinding his first concession on election night, when the race between them was still too close to call.

“Almost a century and a half ago, Sen. Stephen Douglas told Abraham Lincoln, who had just defeated him for the presidency, ‘Partisan feeling must yield to patriotism. I’m with you, Mr. President, and God bless you,’” Gore added. “Well, in that same spirit, I say to President-elect Bush that what remains of partisan rancor must now be put aside, and may God bless his stewardship of this country.”

Sen. John McCain shared similar sentiments eight years later, when he took the stage in Phoenix to congratulate the man who would become the 44th president, Barack Obama.

“Sen. Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed,” McCain said. “No doubt many of those differences remain. These are difficult times for our country, and I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.”

Concessions are just as powerful on the local level. State Sen. Anna Kaplan described her service in Albany as an “honor of a lifetime” after losing her reelection bid to former senator Jack Martins.

“While our campaign has ended, my service to — and love for — our community has not,” Kaplan said. “I will always fight for you, and am committed to continuing that spirit of service in my next chapter.”

Laura Gillen, who lost her bid for Congress to Anthony D’Esposito last week, also put politics aside to honor the choice of voters.

“We ran a campaign to be proud of in a challenging political environment,” Gillen said. “Together we motivated thousands of Long Islanders to make their voices heard.

letters ‘I could write Randi weekly’ To the Editor: Once again, Randi Kreiss’s amazing ability to convey her thoughts and blend them with history — and in this case, a bit of astronomy as well — moved me to tears! (“An election that will move heaven and earth,” Nov. 3-9.)

These are such stressful times, and I know that while it isn’t reasonable to expect everyone to always agree, there needs to be some more honest, respectful dialogue to help move our country to a better place.

I could write to Randi weekly, because her columns are so important and meaningful. I am constantly sending copies to dear friends who don’t live in the area — even a longtime friend who has lived in Italy for decades, but who is still American at heart (whatever that means these days) and is so worried for us and the world. If the America we know and love goes, what then? But then Randi gives us the perspective of eons of time to encour-

To stand up for common-sense leadership.

And to vigorously defend fundamental rights from assault.”

After the 2020 presidential election, in which defeated President Donald Trump never conceded to his successor, Joe Biden, there were real fears that this act of patriotism — this cornerstone action of democracy — could become a relic of the past. That conceding somehow represented weakness rather than strength. And that it meant essentially giving up on fighting for the chance to represent your community, region, state or even country.

But nothing about concession means you have to give up the fight, or that you can’t explore every option available to you.

Once those options are exhausted, however, it’s time to close that chapter and start the next one.

On election night last week, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin wasn’t ready to concede the gubernatorial race to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

And that was his right — not all the votes had been counted, and while his chances of winning were remote, they still existed.

But when it became clear that he had no path to victory, Zeldin did his part to protect and defend democracy by exercising the power of concession.

“I would like to congratulate New York governor Kathy Hochul on her election to a full four-year term,” Zeldin said in a statement the day after the election.

But while this particular battle for the governor’s mansion might be over, Zeldin made it clear that his fight for those he had hoped to represent wouldn’t end — a sentiment every candidate on the short side of any election should share in their own quests.

“As they take office in January, Gov. Kathy Hochul and those controlling Albany must address the grave concerns voiced by the voters,” Zeldin said. “While this campaign has come to a close, the rescue mission to ‘save our state’ continues.”

opinions

appily, the midterm elections are behind us. They were, at best, stressful, and overall they were ugly. Once again, the pollsters were more wrong than they were right, predicting all kinds of results that never happened. There were many lessons to be learned from the results, and any politician who ignores them does so at his or her peril.

Any candidate who calls for a ban on abortions in a red, blue or purple state is asking for trouble. There were five states in which abortion was on the ballot, JerrY and those that proposed a ban in one kremer form or another were shot down.

Women want to make their own choices, in consultation with their physicians, and attempts to take away that right will meet stiff resistance. Defeated Pennsylvania senatorial candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz suggested that elected officials should have a voice on abortion, and that didn’t help his campaign.

Most political observers thought the issue of gun control wouldn’t have an

impact on people’s thinking, but many voters who were questioned stated that their decisions factored in their concerns about the need for much stronger gun laws. There is a constant fear that there will be more school shootings, and pro-gun legislators who are supported by the NRA may have to rethink their position, even if that costs them a few gun-rights supporters. Guns are an issue that won’t go away, and will reresurface in the 2024 elections.

Any pollster who tells you that young people are uninterested in elections should be banned from polltaking. This election brought out a record number of so-called Gen-Z voters, millions of them college students. On Election Day there were reports all over the country of enormous lines of students waiting to vote, well after the polls were scheduled to close. The youth vote is now alive and well.

Crime was an issue that helped a number of candidates get elected, but the vast majority of voters had other concerns on their mind, including voting rights, preserving the Constitution, saving Social Security and Medicare and stopping can-

Another delay for LIRR East Side access To the Editor: Did the MTA and the LIRR forget to consider obtaining necessary clearance from the Federal Railroad Administration before they adopted the schedule calling for East Side access to Grand Central Madison to begin by December 2022? The Federal Transit Administration Full Funding Grant Agreement, approved in 2006, called for service to begin in 2011, at a total project cost of $6.3 billion, with a federal share of $2.6 billion.

The current cost is $11.6 billion, which doesn’t include debt service payments for the cost of borrowing, which brings the cost to $12.7 billion. Debt service costs are

didates endorsed by former President Donald Trump from winning key elections. Plenty of MAGA candidates won their races, but their tenures may be very short when their new constituents catch on to their lack of substance.

We learned in the midterms that election denialism is not a winning strategy. The Republican candidate for New York governor, Lee Zeldin, ran a spirited race, but his resistance to acknowledging that President Biden was fairly elected hurt him with swing voters. New Yorkers are pretty sophisticated people, and the majority of them weren’t ready to buy into a candidate who opposed the certification of election results in Pennsylvania and Arizona. There are still plenty of election deniers who won their contests, but once they’re in office, their positions won’t help them do the required work.

From the ads that flooded the airwaves, we could all agree that the tone of this year’s races was more dishonest and mean-spirited than ever before. In a lust for power, many candidates — incumbents and challengers alike — made false claims about their opponents, accusing

them of criminal conduct and making other outrageous allegations. But the slanderers didn’t fool most of the voters, who rejected the partisan poison.

Year after year, we have been subjected to stories about suspect polling results, in contests ranging from dogcatcher to president. Political columnists and reporters, in print and on the air, have spend countless hours delving into the polling results, dissecting the numbers and often trying to divine trends that don’t exist. Over the past 10 years, I have challenged numerous pollsters who have wrongly claimed that they have reached people whose only phones are cellphones (which pollsters must dial manually). It’s time to ignore them and the commentators.

Now that the big red wave never happened and the experts will be scratching their heads for months trying to figure out why, it’s time to do a reset and focus on 2024. Future candidates will have to prepare for major changes in the electoral terrain, and be aware that they will suffer if they ignore the 2022 warning signs.

Framework by Tim Baker

buried under a separate agency operating budget. There is also over $4 billion more in indirect costs for what are known as LIRR “readiness” projects to support ESA service to Grand Central Madison. Honest accounting would bring the real total project cost to $16.7 billion.

A mandatory FRA safety feature that would prevent trains from entering the wrong tunnel clearly fell behind schedule.

It is now forecast to be installed and up and running by March 6, 2023. Why was the original implementation schedule for installation of this safety equipment not completed earlier this year? This new FRA safety requirement was implemented as a result of the Metro North accident on the Hudson Line at Spuyten Duyvil in 2013.

The MTA now has to request a waiver from FRA to begin service in December without this safety feature being in place. This will offer little comfort for riders who are looking for safe and reliable service to the Grand Central Madison Terminal.
