The two -and -a -half hour play tells the story of an eccentric New York family in crisis during the summer of 1942. Two teenagers, Jay and Arty, are forced to live with their ill-tempered Grandmother Kurnitz after their father takes a job where he has to travel across the country. What follows is a story of two boys trying to survive in a situation they've never been faced with before — their extended family. While the boys are staying in their grandmother's apartment, they have to share the pullout couch with each other, and are forced to hear about their aunt and uncle's problems. Mixed with moments of extreme hilarity and sincere emotion, Yonkers reminds you of what it's like to be a child stuck in a situation you cannot understand but you are forced to accept. St. Columban native Thomas Murray plays Arty, a role he was made for. As the inquisitive younger brother, Murray has perfect comedic timing and helps add a sense of innocence to the play. While he may not have as much experience as some of the other actors, Murray makes up for it with his strong performance and charisma. Playing the role of Jay is Mitchell Marcus who was not only captivating, but also Jason Middleton photo Starring in Lost In Yonkers is James Kall as Father, Michelle Marcus as Jay, and Thomas Murray as Arty. The play runs in Drayton from July 20 to August 20. perfected the accent of any person who grew up living in New York. A perfect match to Murray's innocent character, Marcus presents Jay as a person trying to figure out what he can do to help his family during a desperate time. You can't help but love Allison Lawrence playing the role of Aunt Bella a character with a childlike attitude and is reminiscent of a young Edith Bunker from '70s sitcom All In The Family. Not only does Lawrence make the audience laugh (to the point of crying at points) but she also makes you think. Araby Lockhart plays the perfect 4ifficult Grandmother Kurniti by swinging her cane at her troublesome grandchildren. This poignant comedy was directed by Adam Furfaro, who directed last year's production of the Cemetery Club at the Huron Country Playhouse, and again hit the bittersweet comedy nail right on the head. Lost In Yonkers won a Pulitzer Prize in 1991 and was written by Paul Simon, whose other works include the Odd Couple and Barefoot in the Park. While the play was only on a 10 -day run in July at the Huron Country Playhouse, you can catch the play in Drayton from July 20 to August 20. So if you decide to go on a road trip to go see Lost in Yonkers while it's playing at the Drayton Festival Theatre make sure you bring a map because this play is not to be missed. County council grumbles over rumble strips By Mark Nonkes Signal -Star Staff Huron County councillors seem to have hit a few bumps along the road as the topic of rumble strips was again debated at this months council meeting. One motion failed, another was tabled and, ultimately, the topic was sent back for further discussion after a heated discussion between councillors and county staff was created. "We have a policy that's flawed," said Coun. Ken Oke (South Huron). The grumble over rumble strips was sparked after residents in St. Joseph complained about the noise created by the speed bumps in their village. "We have a single issue here," said Coun. Bernie MacLellan (Huron East). "We need a policy, we need it for all of Huron County." A motion to deal with the St. Joseph's issue and the Huron County plan as two liANDRIEL Excavating Inc.

During the meeting it was suggested that designated areas, such as hamlets, villages and towns, not have rumble strips built within the confines. "I do think putting rumble strips in a 50 kilometre and hour area is not a wise idea," Oke said. Following that, Oke presented a motion which would have prevent putting rumble strips in an area with more than eight houses. "What happens to Blyth and Londesboro," questioned Coun. Ellen Connelly (Goderich). "Are those strips going to be removed?" Coun. Bill Dowson (Bluewater) countered the highway traffic act was in place to deal with people speeding in 50 kilometre zones. County Engineer Don Pletch told council rumble strips were not put in place to pick on the people living within earshot of them. He added they were designed for the public's safety and to notify them when to slow down or of an upcoming stop sign. "It isn't for when the weather is dry, it's when it's foggy," he said. The noise created, Pletch said, is not as terrible as has been suggested as County staff took a noise meter to various locations throughout the county and compared sound levels. In particular, Pletch said the St. Joseph's rumble strips were no louder than the average office. Later, MacLellan suggested the setback distance for rumble strips coming into town be increased. "This may be the best of both worlds," he said. "We haven't got rid of rumble strips altogether but we've taken it out of the area." Eventually, Warden Doug Layton weighed in. "We've been discussing this for'quite a few minutes so let's continue on," he said. Coun. Deb Shewfelt (Goderich) suggested sending the tabled motion back to committee for further discussions, a move that found favour with the council, "That's where it should be, councillors making the decisions," Klopp said, directing his comments towards Pletch.
