ANOTHER HIT FOR CURTAIN CALL THEATRE Love, Lies, and the Doctor’s Dilemma debuts to loads of laughter LESLIE CHOLOWSKY PHOTO
Love, Lies, and the Doctorʼs Dilemma opened this weekend in Forestburg; the latest offering from Curtain Call Theatre. This yearʼs cast features some familiar faces from the past, with Nathan Lunty and Eugene Gustafson returning, as well as regulars Kara Pearcey, Pam Sherman, and Nancy Ambler, along with newcomer Tristan Nelson in a comedy thatʼll leave you thinking twice about telling your next little white lie. Above: Lunty, as Vinny the Enforcer, isnʼt quite fooled by Pearceyʼs act, while Gustafson attempts to assure the gangster that Nelson is definitely not on the premises, and not, certainly, right in front of him.

Killam Cyclones Swim Club ready to make a splash this season Looking to make a substantial splash this season, the Killam Cyclones Swim Club has already started preparations to host its first swim meet since the pandemic. Teams from throughout Region D of the Alberta Summer Swimming Association – including Forestburg, Red Deer, Innisfail, Ponoka, Hanna, Lacombe, Castor, Coronation, Olds, and Oyen – are scheduled to converge on the Killam Aquatic Centre on Saturday, July 22. “The facility is so excited to see a swim meet in their building. It has been too long with COVID shutting us down and a club that was too small to successfully hold a meet. It will be amazing
to see 200-plus swimmers with families in our facility,” says Agriplex Coordinator Chris Kinzer, who also serves as head coach of the Cyclones. Kinzer coached in the 1990s and early 2000s when her children were swimming. After a short hiatus, she returned to coaching in 2014. This season, Coach Kinzer will be joined by two new assistant coaches that she says: “Will learn and be ready to take the club over.” They are Krista Castagna and Jessica O’Hare. And there’s more reason for Coach Kinzer to be especially optimistic about 2023. “As head coach of the Killam Cyclones, I am so excited to see new faces asking our
club about joining, and returning swimmers from last year and previous years,” she explains. “It has been challenging the past few years with so much change through the Alberta Summer Swimming Association. “Change is good, change means growth and growth is the best thing that can happen to an association. We have new parents taking over board positions with
fresh ideas that will help our club flourish. “We have so many talented swimmers and parents. This year is going to be beyond amazing.” The Cyclones, featuring two newly designed logos for 2023, are slated to hold their annual Registration Night on Wednesday, March 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Killam Agriplex for all swimmers aged four to 17.
