Middle Country Central School District’s Jericho Elementary School recently hosted and honored a special group of 42 veterans for Memorial Day, all of whom are family members of a Jericho student. The veterans were welcomed with patriotic signs, specialized “Thank You to Our Veterans” letters, a student-led national anthem and poppy corsages to honor the beloved

parents, grandparents and siblings. The event was made possible due to the organizing and creativity of dedicated teachers Mrs. Triandafils, Mrs. Campanelli and Mrs. Kempf. The district actively seeks opportunities that allow its students to give back to the community and showcase the career paths of those in the Middle Country community.

SCPD, Stony Brook Medicine partner to encourage early detection Stony Brook Medicine and the Suffolk County Police Department are joining forces to provide proactive health services to residents. Officials announced June 14 that the police department and Stony Brook Medicine’s Mobile Mammography Van will host events this summer at various county locations. The events will provide convenient access to mammography examinations for SCPD employees as well as the public. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart, who was previously diagnosed with breast cancer, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), members of the Suffolk County Police Department and Stony Brook’s Mobile Mammography Program coordinator Dr. Patrick Dineen were on hand for the announcement. “Commissioner Hart should serve as an inspiration to us all, using her own personal experience with breast cancer to raise awareness about the power of early detection, which has saved countless lives,” Bellone said. “By partnering with Stony Brook Medicine to bring their Mobile Mammography Van to a number of different locations all across the county this summer, we are making it easier than ever for working women to get checked.” Officers from the Community Relations Bureau, Canine and Aviation Sections will be on hand to interact with children while their parents are being screened, according to county officials. Activities will include demonstrations, games and giveaways. Hart said her first mammogram detected cancer in its earliest stages, and she hoped sharing

her story would inspire others to be screened. “Our mission includes fighting crime and one of the most effective ways to continue to drive down crime is to ensure we are finding new ways to partner with all our communities,” she said. “I believe our partnership with Stony Brook Medicine will serve as a great outreach to members of the community.” Dineen said Stony Brook Medicine was thrilled about the collaboration. “The partnership between Stony Brook Medicine and the SCPD strengthens the efforts to ensure that all women from all socioeconomic backgrounds have easier access to screenings since we visit various locations such as businesses, school districts, libraries and churches throughout Long Island,” he said. “Furthermore, not only is the SCPD dedicated to helping our community members, they believe in this program so much that we have scheduled screening events at SCPD headquarters and the 4th Precinct so that staff members are also staying on top of their health.” Eligible residents can visit the van for screenings at the following locations: • Diamond in the Pines, 1844 Route 112, Coram — June 29 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. • St. Hugh of Lincoln R.C. Church, 21 E. 9th St., Huntington Station — July 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • St. Anne’s R.C. Church, 88 2nd Ave., Brentwood — July 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • SCPD 4th Precinct, 727 Route 454, Hauppauge — July 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. According to Stony Brook’s website, the

Mobile Mammography Van team provides services to women on Long Island, age 40 and older, who have not had a mammogram in the last year and are not pregnant. No prescription is needed. Women seeking mammograms at the mobile events should not have implants or breast issues, such as a lump or nipple discharge, and never been diagnosed with breast cancer. They should also have had an office visit with a gynecologist, primary care physician or internist within the past year who is willing to accept the results of the screening. Individuals who do not have health insurance

will be processed through the Cancer Services Program of New York, if eligible. On the day of the mammogram, women should not wear deodorant, perfume, powders, lotions or creams on the breast area. The van travels Suffolk and Nassau counties all year round and features a registration area, waiting room, private changing and exam space, 3-D equipment and an all-female medical staff. For more information, call 1-833-MYMAMMO or Dineen’s office at 631-432-0267. — Compiled by Rita J. Egan

Boy Scout inspires county park stewardship program BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Soon a walk in the park could turn into park stewardship for interested Suffolk County residents thanks to a Boy Scout’s love for a Stony Brook park. Recently, county legislators approved a plan to create a parks stewardship pilot program that will be rolled out in 10 unstaffed Suffolk parks. The idea began when East Setauket Boy Scout Jake Butkevich, 17, approached Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) about volunteering in Forsythe Meadow County Park in Stony Brook. Butkevich said in an email that he was inspired to propose a program after volunteering in the Adirondacks where he was assigned a trail to maintain. He chose Forsythe Meadow because he wanted to give back to his community. “Nonstaffed parks like Forsythe Meadow are perfect for stewards to take care of,” he said. “Much of the work that I have done while taking care of this park throughout the fall of 2018 and this spring is menial like trimming back bushes and picking up fallen branches, both of which make walking the trails a much

more enjoyable experience.” Hahn, who sponsored the bill to create the stewardship program, said she’s excited about the program, and while Scout troops and other groups have adopted parks in the past, she said the new initiative will allow individuals to become park stewards. Butkevich said he’s excited about the pilot program, and he was appreciative of Hahn working with him on the idea.

“I hope this program will be effective in keeping our county parks better maintained and inspiring young people like myself to give back to the community and to be passionate about the outdoors,” he said. Hahn said she hopes neighbors of unstaffed parks will volunteer to walk it once a week, pick up small pieces of trash and report back to the county about trees that need to be trimmed, branches that have fallen or any kind

of vandalism. She said stewards will enable the county to be more on top of what is going on at the unstaffed parks, and in turn staff workers can then be dispatched to mow grass or trim trees. The legislation doesn’t name specific parks, which allows for 10 stewards to work on a park they choose. “It would give us real eyes on the park,” Hahn said. According to Hahn’s office, there are more than 63,000 acres of county parkland. The pilot program will run for one year to determine the program’s feasibility for possible expanded use within the county, and after the year is up, the parks department will make the decision about fully implementing and continuing the stewardship program. In a statement, Philip Berdolt, commissioner of Suffolk County Parks and Recreation, said the program would help to engage residents in the conservation of local parklands. “By becoming a steward of Suffolk County Parks’ green spaces, you will help ensure that our county’s natural resources are cared for and kept safe for future generations,” he said. The bill now awaits County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) signature.

Suffolk police rescue kayaker in Long Island Sound Suffolk County police officers rescued a man after his kayak overturned in the Long Island Sound Saturday, June 15. Marine Bureau Officers Matthew Funaro, Cory Kim and Shane Parker were on patrol in Marine Delta when they observed a man clinging to his overturned kayak in the Long Island Sound, approximately one mile north of Woodhull Landing Road in Sound Beach, at around 12:20 p.m. The water was 64 degrees

and the wind was pushing the man away from shore. The officers pulled the man, Humberto Castro, and his 10-foot kayak aboard Marine Delta. Castro, 47, of Newark, New Jersey, was transported to the Mount Sinai Marina where he was evaluated by members of Port Jefferson Emergency Medical Services.

Strong’s Neck couple installs low-nitrogen septic system and spreads the word BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When it came to their cesspool being replaced, one Three Village couple based their choice on their concern for local waterways. Tom and Carolyn O’Dwyer decided to install a low-nitrogen septic system on their Strong’s Neck property this spring after learning about the treatment process. Unlike a cesspool where bacteria and nitrogen can seep out, and into local water sources, Tom O’Dwyer said in their new system water percolates through a septic system, and the advanced process removes more nitrogen than a cesspool. Excessive nitrogen can affect the oxygen level in water where it is below the necessary levels to support marine life. “It’s good for the environment, and it’s good technology,” he said. “I do this stuff every day, so I figured I would lead by example.” O’Dwyer, an environmental engineer, recently attended classes offered by the county to learn about the systems and the grants Suffolk has to offer to those who choose to install them. As of July 1, Suffolk County residents who voluntarily decide to replace their cesspools will need to replace them with a system consisting of a septic tank and leaching pool at a minimum. Contractors will need to register the system with the Department of Health Services. While residents can choose a conventional septic system, another option is an advanced device that removes more nitrogen. County grants of up to $20,000 are available for residents who qualify, where the county has been offering the grants for the last two years. There is also an additional state grant of up to $10,000, which can mean a total of up to $30,000. O’Dwyer said he and his wife bought their house four years ago, and while the cesspool hadn’t given them too many problems, after

hearing about the low-nitrogen units, he thought it was the best way to go, especially with living 500 feet from the water, a part of their home they love. “Our family enjoys swimming, boating, fishing and clamming in the local waterways, so clean water is very important to us,” he said. Involved with larger projects like past work on the Tappan Zee Bridge, he began hearing about low-nitrogen installation projects out East and decided to start learning about the systems and soon began designing them. O’Dwyer said so far most of the work he has seen has been on the East End of Long Island, and he’s trying to get the word out to his friends about the grants and is currently working on three different homes on the North Shore where the homeowners are tired of their cesspool problems. O’Dwyer said he found the process to apply for a grant from the county easy. He filled out an application and submitted a deed and tax forms. He said residents can then pick an engineer to design the system and pick a contractor off the list of county-approved contractors. Suffolk then directly pays the contractor. The engineer said a site can be difficult at times due to certain ground conditions, and homeowners may have to pay more than the average of nearly $20,000. Field testing may be required to see if the ground is clay or sand and how well the soil will drain. As for engineers, the price averages around $2,500. Peter Scully, deputy county executive for administration, said Suffolk County sanitary code requires that the low-nitrogen systems treat down to at least 19 milligrams per liter of total nitrogen, and it’s the most stringent requirement in the northeast. He said while the total nitrogen from cesspool discharge is said to be around 65 milligrams per liter, “the health department staff routinely see samples with concentrations

of total nitrogen far in excess of 65 mg/l and in excess of 100 mg/l.” He added that conventional septic systems discharge 61 mg of nitrogen per liter, and the low-nitrogen systems create a 70 percent reduction when compared to cesspools. George Hoffman, co-founder of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, calls those who upgrade to low-nitrogen septic systems “harbor heroes” because, he said, they care enough about water quality to do the right thing. “It’s good to hear that homeowners in our area are installing low-nitrogen septic systems and are having a positive experience and setting an example for their neighbors,” he said. “This is especially important on Strong’s Neck where the transit time for groundwater to Setauket Harbor and Conscience Bay is less than two years.” Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), a proponent of the bill, said the code was updated to match what was passed in 1972 for new residential construction where conventional septic systems with a leeching pool needed to be installed. “They knew way back — almost 50 years ago — they knew the cesspool itself was not enough,” she said. “It’s essentially a hole in the ground.” She said studies of subwatersheds in the county, where more than 70 percent of structures are not hooked up to sewer systems, have shown quite a bit of nitrogen from residential waste. She said while the low-nitrogen septic systems are not yet mandated like the conventional septic systems, it’s possible as early as next year that they could be for new home construction.

Hahn said the commitment of the county executive, legislators and county staff members has included working with the wastewater industry to find ways homeowners can switch over to the new system, how to install and to know exactly what the systems do. “It’s been a tremendous accomplishment to get where we’re at,” she said. She said many residents might save money with the low-nitrogen systems if faced with replacing a cesspool or at least break even instead of choosing a conventional septic system. She did say there is a small electric charge based on the system annually and a little more maintenance that residents should be aware of when choosing the system. As for the grants, it must be the applicant’s primary residence occupied year-round. Most residents who have applied have qualified, Hahn said. Last week O’Dwyer sampled his new system, and he said the effluent looked clear with no odor. The field samples also showed reduced nitrogen levels. The environmental engineer said he and his wife are happy they installed the system, and now through his business, he plans to help others do the same. “My whole career I was searching for something,” he said. “I was passionate about a lot of things, but this intertwines my passion and my hobbies with my education and engineering background, so it’s a nice match.” Interested residents can call Suffolk County Department of Health Services, 631-852-5811, for more information.

New York Legislature ‘green lights’ green light bill

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a contentious back and forth between state Democrats and Republicans, the green light bill, a measure that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license in New York State, passed the New York State Senate June 17 and was signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). The vote makes New York the 13th state in the nation to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. In the past, undocumented immigrants in New York were allowed to have driver’s licenses if they passed the required tests and proved their residency. In 2001, former governor George Pataki reversed the measure via executive order. Proponents of the bill say that the bill would improve public safety and the economy. “Today is a historic day for New York’s hard working immigrant community,” said Steven Choi, the executive director at the New York Immigration Coalition. “We are glad to see that Governor Cuomo did the right thing by signing the Green Light NY bill into law.” Th of Nathan Ine Story the lead up toHale, the vote there was some Benjamin Tallmadge hesitation of support & the Origin of The Culper from Spies some Democrats, which critics attributed to being wary of backlash to the bill and its impact on the 2020 election year. Jay Jacobs, The Nassau County Democratic chairman, warned the six senators who represent Long Island about the potential political backlash of supporting the bill, according to an article in Gothamist. Jacobs told Gothamist that he personally supports the legislation but believes the bill is too polarizing to pursue in the current legislative session. The legislation moved forward without the support of the six Long Island Democratic senators, who all voted no, as well as three other Republican senators. “I am disappointed that the state lawmakers in Albany voted to approve this terrible piece of legislation,” John Kennedy, Suffolk County comptroller and county executive candidate, said in a statement. “Driving in New York State is a privilege, not a guaranteed right, and we should not be extending privileges to those who do not follow the law. I strongly urge the Governor to do the right thing and veto this legislation.” Other Republicans in the state Legislature shared opposition to the green light bill. “This legislation is an outrage to law-abiding New Yorkers, as well as to new Americans that have taken the appropriate steps to become citizens legally,” New York State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) said in a letter. “The

overwhelming majority of New Yorkers oppose issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. And yet, that is exactly what Senate Democrats did.” The Long Island Democratic Senate Delegation said in a statement that they value the important contributions made by immigrants to the local economy and communities. “Following countless meetings with stakeholders, residents, and advocates on the implications of this bill, our vote is based on the continued existence of serious concerns raised by stakeholders and law enforcement,” the statement read. “We will continue to stand together in the best interest of Long Islanders.” Some lawmakers shared concerns that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency could possibly obtain driver’s information and use it for deporting individuals. Cuomo also raised similar concerns before the vote, stating that he would veto the bill if the federal government would be able to access driver’s information that could be used for deportation. He then asked the state attorney general to review the bill and would sign the bill if it didn’t give federal authorities access to DMV databases. State Attorney General Letitia James (D) wrote a statement the night of vote. “The legislation is well crafted and contains ample protections for those who apply for driver’s licenses,” James said in a statement. “If this bill is enacted and challenged in court, we will vigorously defend it.” The bill would require undocumented immigrants to take a driver’s license exam and be able to buy car insurance. The measure would go into effect in 180 days and undocumented immigrants could get licenses starting in December.

Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) recently announced the weekly farmers market at Brookhaven Town Hall in Farmingville is open every Thursday afternoon through October. This weekly New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets-sanctioned farmers market was established by the town in 2018 to encourage residents to buy Long Island fruits and vegetables and bring attention to the town’s many farms and produce grown right in the consumers backyard. In addition to selling fresh produce, the market will promote wine, flowers, seafood and other Long Island products and encourage people to visit farms and support

their local growers. The weekly farmers market will be open every Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. and will run throughout the fall season. “I am happy that the town’s farmers market is open again this year, and I thank the Long Island Farm Bureau, the members of the town’s Agricultural Advisory Board and the farmers who make fresh produce easily available to our residents,” Romaine said. “I encourage everyone to buy from local farmers and eat healthy.” For more information about the weekly farmers market at Brookhaven Town Hall, call 631-451-TOWN (8696).

Editorial

Letters to the editor

A black cloud, searching When enough is enough for a silver lining

One has to understand that journalists are human beings, and just as much as it pains people to learn about the death of a young woman, it can be even more painful to write about it. Melissa Marchese, 18, died June 14 after being injured in a terrible car crash in Shoreham. She passed only two weeks before she was set to graduate high school. Since then, the local community has rallied around the family, donating well over $60,000 for the Marchese family in a GoFundMe campaign in less than a week after the crash. Likely the community will continue to support the family even after graduation. It is truly amazing to watch a community come out full force to support a grieving family but, even still, too many Shoreham and Wading River residents recognize the black cloud hanging over their hamlets. Nobody should have to read about a young person dying, but in Shoreham the situation is familiar, just all too familiar. The community went through this grief in 2014, after Tom Cutinella died from receiving a head injury due to an illegal tackle on the SWR football field. In 2018, the community was again devastated after learning about the death of Andrew McMorris, who was killed by a drunk driver while hiking with his Boy Scout troop. In both circumstances, the community rallied behind the families. The SWR football field and a new concession stand was renamed in honor of Tom, while a statue with brickwork done by an Eagle Scout was erected in his honor. In the case of Andrew, the Boy Scout troop has planted a new garden at the community center, where the scouts meet, while the community hung red ribbons on telephone poles, fence posts and mailboxes in his honor from Riverhead to Miller Place. These ribbons still flutter in the wind more than a half-year since he was killed. Shoreham residents have talked to one TBR News Media editor about the black cloud hanging over the small North Shore community of Shoreham-Wading River. One resident succinctly described the circuitous nature of Shoreham’s grief and support in the community: “We’ve had too many opportunities to show what a great community we are.” This tragedy reaches out beyond the community’s boundaries. It is in the nature of editorials like this one where we would ask people to take care, to always wait several seconds when the light turns green before making a move, to wear a seatbelt and to instill the importance of road safety in your kids, but those might be mere platitudes in the face of tragedy. All these tragedies were preventable. If only the driver of the car that hit Melissa’s vehicle was not “distracted,” as he later told police. If only the man who went out drinking that one day in October 2018 hadn’t gotten in his car to drive. If only Tom was not tackled in such a way to collide with his helmet. But whatever happens, Shoreham needs to never lose its sense of community. Let it never become complacent and numb in the face of tragedy. Whenever we have talked to the families who’ve lost loved ones, each time they are comforted by how much the community has come out to support. There may have been too many opportunities to show the humanity of local Long Island residents, but let us never stagger or fall in making sure we all remain compassionate for all who suffer.

When will Congress be held accountable for inaction on every issue but the resistance movement? When will Congress realize that oversight is not overkill? When will policy take precedence over politics? When will Americans realize that the only “constitutional crisis” is within Congress regarding their inaction on the border, health care, infrastructure and trying to undo the 2016 election results? When will anti-Semitism be called out regardless of the source? When will the media print facts

instead of gossip from unknown sources? When will the media stop colluding with the Democrats and be held accountable for their fabrications? When will the media take responsibility for creating a dangerous environment within this country with their repetitive false narratives that are brainwashing and misleading the American public? When will Congress be concerned of how our own government influenced the 2016 election, i.e., FBI, CIA, Democratic National Committee paid-for dossier? When will the media stop using

‘The fireman’s dilemma’ One basic premise of some right-tolife supporters is that all human life is precious and equal. That explains why they regard a pregnancy caused by rape or incest as worthy as any other pregnancy. Even if the logic seems off, the consistency is praiseworthy. That they seem comfortable in making an exception to the life that’s extinguished during warfare — even questionable warfare — is less praiseworthy. But I’d have them consider what I’ve titled “The fireman’s dilemma.” The fictitious Village of Centerville

has a large building, 100 Main St. The building has two wings which radiate off a central lobby. One wing is a fertility clinic housing fertilized eggs. Life. The zygotes will soon be implanted into women. The other wing is a day care center with 3-year-olds. Life. The toddlers are playing with crayons and eating Grahams crackers. The fire department alarm sounds the alert. There’s a blazing fire at 100 Main. The firefighters run to their trucks, which race to the building. They put on

divisive tactics, i.e., race, gender, wealth, religion deliberately to agitate the environment? As related to the Mueller Report, when will the Democrats realize that doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, as per Albert Einstein? Finally, when will the country get an apology for the past two years of wasted time, money, energy and lies? When is enough ... enough? Carol Florio Lisa Pius East Setauket

the inhalators and drag their hoses into the lobby. It’s an inferno. The fire can’t be contained. There’s no time to spare. They must save as many lives in the few seconds available before the building implodes upon itself. You are the firefighter. Do you run to the wing with the zygotes? Do you run to the wing with the 3-year-olds? Is all “life” equal? Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

A response to ‘Help me to understand’ Dear “Help me to Understand” (letter to the editor, June 13), The essence of motherhood — and fatherhood — is unselfish sacrifice, and the driving force of it is love, just as a soldier endangers his own life for the love of those behind him — not hatred for those before him. Science affirms what the Bible teaches: A child temporarily residing inside his or her mother is another

human being with its own unique DNA, chromosomes, fingerprints, heartbeat and so on (every cell of which is either male or female from conception to death). One of God’s Ten Commandments is “You shall not murder.” And Christ, who gave His life for us all, assures us that “as you do to the least of these my brethren, you do it to Me.” Psalm 139 asserts “You (God) knit me together in my mother’s

womb; I praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Thy works.” May God bless you as you are a partaker and partner in the creative, nurturing, self-sacrificing work and love of God. The Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Church and School Centereach

Opinion

A pinch of parsley and a side of separation

reaking up is spectacularly awkward, highly charged and, in retrospect, ﬁlled with humorous potential. Two people get together for a picnic, where a public scene might be difﬁcult for the recipient. “Want some tabouli? What is tabouli anyway?” “No thanks, and I don’t know what it is. You ordered it, not me.” “Good point, so, I was thinking. It’s probably a good time for us to separate.” D. None “Um, what, of the above excuse me?” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF The lip quivers, the breathing becomes short and

erratic and the eyebrows, shoulders and neck all droop at the same time. “No, yeah, I mean, you’re great and this has been a total blast but, you know, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s not working for me.” “A total blast? You’d call this a total blast? Besides, nothing is perfect. I know my family can be difﬁcult and I know I wake up with bad breath and I do, on occasion, correct your speech, but we can work around that. Don’t you want to try to make it work?” “I’m thinking that it’s probably time to do other things. I’m thinking of moving to Vancouver and you hate the cold.” “Vancouver? Really? Wait, have you been seeing other people? You and my sister get along a little too well. As soon as you start dating her, she won’t be interested. I know I share genes with her, but she’s a horrible person who has ruined my life over and over again.” “No, really, this has nothing to do with your sister. I wouldn’t do that to you or myself,

especially after what you just said.” “Oh, so, now there’s something wrong with my sister? At least she’s not dumping me.” “No, no, I think we have a great friendship and I’d like to stay in touch.” “You’d like to stay in touch? After all we’ve been through, you’re offering me your friendship? You’re not even that good of a friend. You rarely listen and you forget all the important dates in the year and you always want to go to the same restaurants, even though we have so many other choices.” “Right, exactly, I’m so boring, so maybe you’re ready to be done with me?” “Why do we have to end it now? It’s not like I was expecting to marry you. I can’t imagine having a younger version of you in the house. You can somehow shoot baskets from all over a gym ﬂoor that land in a hoop, but you have no ability to throw the dirty T-shirt you wore to play basketball into a much larger hamper that’s also closer to the ground, even though you roll the shirt into a ball.” “I agree. You could do so much better.”

“I’m sure there are plenty of better people out there, but we had some fun, right? We were supposed to go to that dinner next Saturday with the Smiths. They’re your friends, so maybe we should see what works between now and then?” “It’s OK, I already canceled that.” “What? That horrible person Jessica Smith knew you were going to break up with me before I did? How could you do this to me?” “Sorry, I didn’t tell them anything. I just said we couldn’t make it.” “We couldn’t make it because you were going to break up with me today over tabouli. You’re an idiot.” “Right, well, maybe we shouldn’t stay in touch?” “Oh, so now I’m not good enough to be your friend?” “I’m going to be a boring idiot elsewhere.” “Wait, you’re leaving me?” “Yes, and I’ve googled ‘tabouli.’ It’s a Lebanese salad with vegetables, wheat and parsley, just so you know.”

A hypnotic page-turner on Broadway not to be missed

ne of the best plays I have seen on Broadway is the drama, “The Ferryman.” Written by Jez Butterworth, directed by Sean Mendes and playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre only until July 7, it is so deserving of winning four Tony Awards, including best play, and should not be missed. The story is about a large Irish family in rural County Armagh in Northern Ireland and conjures up Tennessee Williams and “August: Osage County” for Between its familial interacyou and me tions of love, lust, BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF betrayal, anger, contradictions, secrets, repression and murder. But it is so much more. It is historic, being set in 1981 at the height

of The Troubles involving the British, loyalist Irish Protestants who want to remain in the United Kingdom, and nationalist Irish Catholics, including the Irish Republican Army, who want a united Ireland. It is a story about storytelling as three generations live under one roof of a large farmhouse and slowly reveal much about their own histories. It is about human kindness, as personiﬁed by the appealing leading character, farmer Quinn Carney, husband and father of seven children ranging in age from 16 years to nine months. He houses and employs Tom Kettle, an Englishman, whose mind is not all there, as his handyman; and Caitlin, wife of Carney’s long-missing brother and her son, Oisin, as well as aged aunts and an uncle. Yet Carney is also a former active member of the IRA, with its brutality and bloodshed, which he has ultimately rejected. It has homey fairy tales and classic epics in the mix, hopeless love, and lots of barroom talk and drinking, happy celebrating and passionate confrontations. Amid all that activity, with a cast of well-deﬁned characters, it has genuine, laughout-loud humor.

The play is also remarkable for its length. It runs three and a quarter hours with only one 15-minute intermission after Act 1 and a threeminute dimming of the house lights following Act 2. Yet not for a minute, for me and my companions, did it keep from being riveting as it pulsated with suspense interspersed with hearthside family goodness that is set against the background report of Irish Republican hunger strikers dying one by one in a Belfast prison. There are even live animals in the form of an affectionate goose, a feral rabbit and a real, sweet baby. Artfully they all come together to deliver a memorable play and to live in the minds of the viewers well past the end of the performance. The prologue, set against a crumbling, grafﬁtisplayed urban wall, sets the sinister mood with an encounter between craven Father Horrigan and Muldoon, a major ﬁgure in the IRA. And every subsequent scene in which the priest appears seethes with tension. He delivers the news that Seamus, Caitlin’s missing husband, has been found face down, preserved by the acid in a bog, hands tied behind him and a bullet in the back of his head. The mystery of his disappearance

deepens because he was not involved in The Troubles. There is an Aunt Pat and Uncle Patrick, as well as an often mentally absent Aunt Maggie, whose roles are largely to unveil past history even as their passions deﬁne them as three dimensional characters within the family and their country. Their narratives give their lives shape and substance. With the discovery of the body, the past meets the future as Muldoon attempts to contain the truth of the missing husband’s murder from emerging. In the process, other truths seep out in the appropriately furnished great room of the farmhouse that serves as the only site where all subsequent action takes place. In the beginning, the viewer is puzzled as to who the family members are and their relationships to each other, which create an air of mystery. As the plot develops, the answers powerfully emerge, carrying us along, absorbed and engaged. And while the plot is masterfully orchestrated, I don’t want to give away the most important details in the hope that you will still get tickets and join me in your admiration for a remarkable play.
