A most unexpected cast of characters have been invited to Lord Rancour’s remote retreat house for a weekend in the country. The guest list includes Hope Langdon (Sharon Panasevich), Dr. Grayburn (Deb McNamee), Nigel Rancour (Connor Freitag), Lady Grace Manley-Prowe (Mary Beth Zincone), Col. Gillweather (Gordon Clifford), and Miss Tweed (Martina Lingobardo). Serving the guests are the servants - Clive the Butler (Justin Lee), Lettie the Maid (Susan Lee), and Flint the Caretaker (Chris Lake). The weekend gets off to a jolly good start until things turn to malice, mayhem, mystery and murder. And to add to the suspense is the dashing uninvited guest - Geoffrey (John Freitag). The cast begin to die one after another; will the audience solve the crime before the self-appointed detective? It will be a production of great music, audience interaction and laughs. Jeffrey Keyes provides the accompaniment. Make reservations at Lord Rancour’s Retreat by calling 756-2887 or by purchasing a ticket at the front door, where Clive will meet you. It is time for a weekend in the country air! Come, if you have the nerve.

Countryside Conservancy To Present 2009 Awards The public is cordially invited to join the Countryside Conservancy as it presents its 2009 Stewardship Awards on Wednesday, April 22 (Earth Day). This free event starts at 7:00 p.m. at Evans Hall, Keystone College. A latte bar, light refreshments and desserts will be offered. All are encouraged to attend and help the Conservancy honor eight property owners in our region who have been identified as outstanding stewards of their farms, homes, lands and waters. Awards to be presented this year include working farms, community gardens, residential properties and special uses. This year’s award winners hail from Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties. The atmosphere of the event is friendly and relaxed, focused on the land and the people who care for it. At last year’s awards, landowners shared their thoughts on working and loving the land. Their words ranged from comical to touching, but all had the same basic message: “We care about the same thing. We do this for the love of our land.” Award winners will receive certificates of appreciation and a one-year membership in the Conservancy. Gayle Muller and Caroline Seamans are co-chairs of this year’s Stewardship Awards Committee; other committee members are Amy Broadbent, Lydia Coulter, Jo-Ellen Greene, Margaret Hull, Ernie Keller, Gerald Kenjorski, Marta Kovacs Ruiz, Joanne Smith and Ed Zygmunt. The Stewardship Awards were instituted over a decade ago to express the Conservancy's appreciation for the efforts of good stewards of the land. The Countryside Conservancy conserves lands and water in and near the Tunkhannock Creek watershed for the public benefit now and for the future.
