andy Schumer is a soft-spoken, 74-year-old religious school principal and administrator at Temple EmanuEl of Long Beach who is extraordinarily polite and chooses her words carefully.

Is this the mother of the 41-year-old, often sexually explicit standup comedian? The star of television and film who, when asked by David Letterman on her last appearance on “The Late Show” in 2015 to “do something you’ll regret,” hiked up the hem of her tight black dress and pointed to a long white line LYN, RVC, OCE, MER

“What’s that?” Letterman asked.

“That’s my vagina,” Amy Schumer responded.

Yes, Sandy Schumer is her mother.

After working for 25 years as a speech therapist for BOCES in Nassau County, the elder Schumer took a job as religious school principal at the temple, a position she has held for the last three years. She is also the author of a book, “The Language of Parenting.” It is a guide to helping parents meet the challenges of raising children.

ThE ENTIRE CAST of The Wizard of Oz takes a bow at the finale of the performance Sunday at Lindell Elementary School.

‘Sensory Special’ production of “Oz”

By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

W

e’re not Kansas anymore, Toto. Or, in Long Beach, either.

For two magical hours at the Lindell Elementary School last Sunday afternoon, the mostly young cast of the Long Beach Theater Guild presented the iconic “The Wizard of Oz.” And the audience, captivated, was also in Oz. The play was presented Saturday as well, but what made Sunday’s performance extraordinary is that it was put on for sensory sensitive children, some of who are on the autism spectrum.

Nancy Gallinaro, president of the Long Island Theater Guild, and several volunteers handed out packets to sensory sensitive children, who may be sensitive to loud noises. The packets consisted of earplugs, and squishy toys that could be squeezed to relieve any tensions the children may experience. The voices of the actors were sometimes modulated to reduce loud sounds.

“Last year, we did a sensory show, but we did it remotely because of Covid,” Gallinaro said. “This is the first time it’s live.”

The Wizard will be performed again Saturday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, Oct. 20, at 2 pm at the Lindell School. The Theater Guild will be celebrating is 50th anniversary this weekend, honoring its founders, Don Kelly and his wife. Ginny.

The kids loved the play, and they all had their favorite characters.

Ashley Deutsch, 14, of Long Beach High School, sat with friends waiting for the play to begin. Ashley had seen The Wizard before, elsewhere, but had to see it again, especially so she could see her favorite, the Tin Man, played Sunday by Shane Levine, a sophomore at Hofstra.

“He’s cool,” Ashley said. “And he’s funny.”

Ava Abramson, 13, of Long Beach Middle School, had a part of The Wizard with another theater group, called Spotlight,

DoRoThy gETS woRD from the Munchkins that the Wicket Witch is dead “truly dead.” which is geared to young people. She liked the Lion, played by Tommy Larson, who performed in “Fiddler on the Roof.” Ava said the Lion was funny “because he’s scared of everything.”

Moving projections on the screen on the stage augmented the production Sunday.

Parts of the movie of The Wizard were shown on the screen. The Wizard, produced in 1939 by MGM, has become a classic over the decades and starred a young Judy Garland playing Dorothy Gale.

The cast was led by Ariel Pearl, 20, of Long Beach, who played the lead role, of Dorothy, the girl lost in a storm who must find her way back home to Kansas from the Land of Oz. She is a bilingual singer/ actress who has released a debut single, “Let It All Go.” Her rendition of the “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” held the audience spellbound.

“My biggest goal is to win a Grammy, and to make a difference in the world,” Pearl said. She is already signed to a contract with Warner Music.

(L To R) The Lion (Tommy Larson), Dorothy (Ariel Pearl), the Tin Man (Shane Levine) and the Scarecrow (Partrick O’Neill) meet to discuss their plans to get Dorothy home to Kansas.

or two of the campaign, voters did not hear that from the top of the Democratic ticket. The bottom line is that Long Islanders really are attuned to personal and financial insecurity, rising crime and rising costs. That hit home to a lot of people who normally vote Democratic.”

Levy said he believed that those voters would probably return to supporting Democratic candidates in national elections.

Sandy and Amy, once estranged, are now close jazz musician, and Kimberly, a writer and producer.

The Schumers are also distantly related by marriage to Sen. Chuck Schumer, the majority leader of the U.S. Senate. But Sandy Schumer said she has met him privately only once.

She almost never tells people she is Amy’s mother.

And she shuns the word “pride” when speaking of her daughter, whose fame reached a new level in 2015, when she made her film debut in “Trainwreck.” She received nominations for the Writers Guild of America award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.

“She’s a regular person,” Sandy Schumer said of her daughter.

“I feel disassociated from the famous person she is.

I’m not a fan. I’m her mother.”

“I have a very specific feeling about pride,” Schumer said. “I have three children. I never say, ‘I’m proud of you.’ I say, ‘I’m so happy for you.’ Pride has to come from within. So many people work hard to make their parents proud, and then those people are disappointed” when they feel they haven’t done so.

Rabbi Jack Zanerhaft, the religious leader of Temple Emanu-El, said Schumer is “private, quiet about it all.”

“She doesn’t promote the fact that she has a famous daughter,” Zanerhaft said. There is a definite resemblance between mother and daughter, he said. “But Sandy doesn’t go out of her way” to talk about Amy. Amy Schumer is on a nationwide performance tour, and was unavailable for comment.

Her mother is so discrete that, for over a year, the cantor at Temple Emanu-El, Lisa Klinger-Kantor said she didn’t know that Amy was Sandy’s daughter. Amy was married in February 2018 in Malibu, California, and Klinger-Kantor said that Sandy told her about the wed-

Amy Schumer, in Malverne in 2021, filming a Hulu series called ‘Life & Beth.’ ding a week before.

“I only knew her as Sandy Schumer,” Klinger-Kantor said. “We had never talked about her daughter. She said, ‘Do you know who my daughter is?’ She said it’s Amy Schumer. I cracked up. She said she had two days to pack for the wedding in California.”

“She’s low-key and quiet,” Klinger-Kantor added.

“But she gets her opinions across. She’s very organized.”

The temple’s religious school has about 70 students.

Sandy Schumer was born to Methodist parents in Cincinnati, but converted to Judaism after meeting a Jewish student, David Stein, at Miami University in Ohio. She knew little about Judaism, but studied diligently.

“I never had a bagel in my life” before college, she said.

She married Stein in 1972. He has since died, and she married Gordon Schumer in 1979. Gordon, she said, developed a drinking problem and his furniture-importing business failed. They have been divorced for 30 years.

In her 2016 book, “The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo,” Amy Schumer wrote that she was 10 when her father’s car was repossessed. “I do remember him standing expressionless in the driveway as it pulled away,” she wrote. Gordon was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and now lives in a care facility in Manhattan.

Amy, who married Chris Fischer — a farmer and a chef who is on the autism spectrum — five years ago, has said that she has “forgiven” her mother, but that it took time.

“When she was 30, she and I stopped communicating for a few months,” Sandy said. “We were too close. She was angry at me. I didn’t handle things well. But we worked to rebuild our relationship. The best thing that has happened was her having a son” — Gene, now 3½.

Amy Schumer has made millions of dollars over the course of her career. But her mother lives on a Nassau County pension and her salary at Temple Emanu-El. “I’m a normal person,” she said. “I have a normal job.

It’s very important for me to be independent.” When she thinks of her daughter, she often recalls a child who loved to perform in school plays at a Catholic school in Rockville Centre, where the family lived when Amy was young.

“She was delightful, smart, creative and funny,” Sandy Schumer said. “She looked a little like Shirley Temple.”

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.

Herald SPOrTS Mepham tops Long Beach in rainstorm

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Media Origin Inc./Herald

JuNIOr COurTNEY MErChaNT and the Marines completed a successful season with an overall record of 7-3.

Second-seeded Mepham and No. 3 Long Beach not only batted each other throughout last Friday afternoon’s Nassau Conference II football semifinal at Hofstra, but also Mother Nature.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been this drenched in my life,” Mepham head coach Matt Moody said. “At times, I couldn’t see plays develop. It was crazy.”

Torrential rain, wind, punts and turnovers dominated three scoreless quarters before the Pirates finally broke through in the fourth with a pair of touchdowns for a 14-0 victory. Mepham, which last won a county title in 1952, advanced to face sixtime defending champion Garden City next Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Hofstra for the crown.

“We found a way to win and we’re looking forward to next week,” said Mepham senior quarterback/linebacker Dominick Novello, who opened the scoring with 7:58 remaining on a 2-yard touchdown run and was part of a smothering defensive effort with 8 tackles and a pair of sacks. “We’re excited to get a rematch with Garden City,” he added.

Long Beach (7-3) had two chances to take the lead early in the fourth quarter but had one field-goal attempt sail wide and another blocked by Mepham’s senior Nick Walker. Following the block by Walker, the Pirates drove 60 yards behind senior Dylan Dunn (45) for the eventual winning score.

“I don’t think any of us thought the game was going to go south, but we were minus-3 in turnovers in the first half and it was still a 0-0 tie,” Moody said. “We knew we had to do a better job protecting the ball and things finally shifted in our favor in the fourth quarter.”

With the weather conditions basically eliminating the passing attack for both offenses, Moody wanted to give Dunn, one of Mepham’s receivers, some touches out of the backfield. “Dylan provided a spark we hadn’t had all game,” Moody said. “We wanted to get the ball into his hands somehow.”

Trailing 7-0, the Marines fumbled away their ensuing possession. Senior Christopher Norris recovered for Mepham (9-1) on the Long Beach 18. Five plays later, Novello lost a slippery ball at the goal line but junior Steven Mulqueen pounced on the fumble in the end zone for a touchdown

with 4:28 left.

“I was super happy Mulqueen was there to recover it,” Novello said.

Long Beach, which lost 28-13 at Mepham in Week 6 of the regular season, was held to just 51 yards of total offense.

“The weather conditions didn’t play to our strength,” Long Beach head coach Scott Martin said. “We’re a passing team.

We averaged 230 yards passing a game. We couldn’t get the ball into the hands of our playmakers.”

The Marines defeated New Hyde Park in the opening round of the playoffs, 27-14.

Senior quarterback Jeff Conway threw three touchdown passes, giving him 21 on the year.

“The rain and wind eliminated the passing, but I still thought our defense did an incredible job,” said Moody, who praised the performances of Novello, Norris, Walker, Ryan Thier and Brendan Toomey.

Mepham’s only loss came Week 5 at Garden City, 35-18.

“They’re the gold standard,” Moody said of the top-seeded and unbeaten Trojans. “We spotted them too many points in the first half when we played. We know it’s going to be tough, but we’re proud to be in the position we’re in.”

Top L.B. officiaLs may one day be offered official contracts.

New contracts to top administrators?

The Long Beach City Council Tuesday night heard a proposal to provide official contracts to four department heads, but the matter was tabled to allow councilman Roy Lester to weigh in on the issue.

Lester did not attend Tuesday night’s meeting.

Contracts would be provided to the Long Beach police commissioner, the city comptroller, the public works commissioner and the corporation council. Officials currently occupying those positions are working without contracts.

The contracts would be for a period of three years. The City Council changes

every two years, and the officials who work without contracts would be locked in even if there were new council members.

Francis McQuade, an attorney in Long Beach, objected to the idea and asked the council to reject it. McQuade said the idea would “reduce city management to little more than CSEA status and may New York State laws.

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.

FIDF South Shore honors IDF soldiers At a time when antisemitism is rampant and support for Israel and the IDF is challenged, Friends of the IDF, an organization dedicated to the wellbeing of the soldiers of Israel, brought together members of the Five Towns community in a strong show of solidarity for the brave young men and women of the Israel Defense Forces.

Over 400 local IDF supporters gathered on October 24 for the Five Towns and Greater South Shore 9th Annual Gala at the Sands in Long Beach.

“I’m honored and proud of our parents for their extraordinary leadership and passionate commitment to ensuring a better future for the brave men and women of the Israel Defense Forces, the State of Israel and the entire Jewish community,” said Trudy Stern, a relative of one of the families recognized. “I know I speak for the entire Jewish community in expressing my thanks to FIDF for the incredible work that they do and opportunities they provide. Without a strong IDF, there is no Israel and there is no organization better equipped to meet the social, educational and wellbeing needs of Israel’s heroes.”

Guests heard from three active-duty IDF soldiers. Sergeant Shachar, a naval combat sailor in the IDF’s 3rd Flotilla spoke about her experience as part of the team that used the anti-missile system on the INS Eilat for the first time. While on a patrol sailing, Shachar’s team successfully intercepted two drones sent by the Hezbollah terror organization in an attempt to damage one of Israel’s gas rigs. She was proud to play a part in this difficult task. In addition, Shachar spoke to the value of the support she and her unit receives from FIDF. “You make us all feel so appreciated.”

Lastly, FIDF CEO Steve Weil took the stage and praised the evening’s honorees. “Tonight, a story of courage with Staff Sgt. Alisa and 2nd Lt. Yosef showed us the importance of putting purpose over our comfort zone. And we’ve seen how the culture of courage that FIDF supports enables a soldier like Sgt. Shachar to save a nation under threat.

This is the Jewish people. This is the compound effect of courage.”

News brief St. Joseph’s funding helps student veterans St. Joseph’s University-New York was awarded nearly $560,000 to help it better recruit military veterans as students, and lead them toward degrees.

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

“We pride ourselves on the exceptional services we offer to all of our students, especially student veterans who have given so much of themselves before they arrive at St. Joseph’s,” said Donald Boomgaarden, the school’s president, in a release. “We are grateful to receive this funding that will allow us to continue the work we do with our student veterans, and expand our services to even more students in the years to come.”

Funds will be used primarily for the school’s Peer Health Educator Program, designating six veteran-specific peer

health educators trained in meeting the needs of student veterans. The grans also will expand career preparation and support for veterans, increasing participation with Student Veterans of America, provide graduate student completion grants, provide internship stipends, and launch a program specifically for female veterans.

“Our military and veteran students bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and diversity to our campuses,” said Erin D’Eletto, the school’s military and veterans services director. “This funding will not only allow us to continue providing substantial services to our student veterans, but also add programs and services to further support their personal, academic and professional success.”

St. Joseph’s University offers campuses on West Roe Boulevard tin Patchogue, as well as on Clinton Avenue in Brooklyn. To learn more, visit SJNY.edu.

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.

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.
