McCarville,Jones are 3-0

Larry WoodHeartChart Editor

Expert handicappers will be nodding knowingly today

when the top choices in the Scotties Tournament Of Hearts resume their respec-tive chases for the national women’s curling title at the Essar Centre.

Heading the pack at 3-and-0 when action ceased Sunday, defending cham-pion Jennifer Jones of Win-nipeg and Ontario champion Krista McCarville of Thun-der Bay were established as the odds-on favourites at the start of the day previous.

Jones, who’s looking for her third straight Canadian title, hit for a four-ender en route to a 5-4 win over New Brunswick’s Andrea Kelly on Sunday morning, then dispensed with Amber Hol-land of Saskatchewan 7-3 in the afternoon.

McCarville pulled even Sunday night with a 12-6 victory over Quebec’s Eve Belisle of Montreal in a wild battle completely devoid of defence. Earlier, the home-province team registered a 10th-end deuce to subdue the hot young Alberta unit skipped by Val-

erie Sweeting of Edmonton by a narrow 7-6 score.

“That’s the craziest curl-ing game I’ve ever played in my whole entire life, absolutely crazy,” said Mc-Carville in the wake of her Sunday evening win.

“I mean, I had a four-point lead and I was not happy. I left her (Belisle) with a double for fi ve and she was close to making it. I was worried. The ice was chang-ing a little bit. It was tricky. I wasn’t sure what was going on out there. I wasn’t confi dent of where I putting the broom. I just wanted to get off the ice and come out

with a win.”The Lakehead skip added

she was happy with her three wins but . . .

“I’m not satisfi ed yet,” she said.

Belisle was asked what-ever became of defence?

“I think we forgot what it was,” she said. “I don’t know, we both played really aggressive and it got pretty wild.

“Losing two today is not very good but now we have to come out strong.”

McCarville and Sweeting waged a titanic battle of last rocks in the afternoon with the turning point arriving in the seventh end with Alberta angling to break up a tie match and steal a deuce with a pair jammed in the four-foot.

With last rock, McCarville tossed an in-turn draw to a corner of the button from outside ice and watched the stone turn in to score at exactly the right instant.

Sweeting then scored back-to-back singles to take the lead in the ninth but she couldn’t avoid giving up the deciding deuce when Mc-Carville issued her last-rock open hit.

“The seventh was the turning point, we didn’t want to give up that steal,”

said McCarville. “I needed about one-quarter or more of the button and it warped in there perfectly.

“I had my draw weight that game and I felt really good so I just threw it and let the sweepers guide it in there and the line was perfect.”

The 22-year-old Alberta skip agreed the seventh end, had it gone the other way, probably would have changed the result.

“That was a clutch draw for her,” said Sweeting. “It would have been nice to steal there. The good thing was they only counted one and you always hope the limit the opposition to that when they have last rock.

“They were making a lot of greats shots, especially in that last end, and there wasn’t much we could do about it. But we played well and that’s and good sign for us.”

McCarville admitted she was impressed with the youthful Albertans.

“Defi nitely, they are a great team,” she said. “Someone to watch for in the playoffs, possibly.”

Jones termed her after-noon win over Holland “our best game to date”.

Jones was beaten in the fi rst round of the Olympic Trials at Edmonton by Hol-land.

“It’s great to get off to a

good start but we’ve done this a lot of ways. I think we did this last year and then had to battle through a tiebreaker so you never can be certain after the fi rst few games.”

Holland admitted an 0-2 start for her team wasn’t in the original game plan.

“But what are you going to do, you can’t go back,” she said. “We just have to ramp it up and get rolling.”

Her team did just that, defeating Shelley Nichols of Newfoundland/Labrador 8-5 on the late shift for Sas-katchewan’s fi rst win.

Alberta remained at 2-and-1 alongside British Columbia and Manitoba. P.E.I.’s Kathy O’Rourke climbed to 3-and-1 with a late 10-7 win over the Ter-ritories (1-3).

Winner of two straight on Saturday, the Islanders were pummelled 13-2 by Alberta on Sunday morning.

Marc St. Eloi, like thousands of other Sault Ste.

Marie residents, will be sitting with his parents and enjoying the televised coverage of the 2010 Scot-ties Tournament of Hearts this week. But for four-and-a-half-year-old Marc, there will also be a special connection to the Scotties and the legacy of a wonder-ful woman by the name of Sandra Schmirler.

Marc was born July 28, 2005 at the Sault Area Hos-pital. He was eight weeks premature, and weighed less than four pounds.

For his parents, Luisa Martone and Mike St.

Eloi, it was a very stress-ful time, as Marc spent the next fi ve weeks of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the hospital, including 10 days in an incubator. “The nurses became our second family; they provided constant care and supervision to Marc, and you rely on them for their expertise,” says his mother.

Without a NICU in Sault Ste. Marie, the family would have faced the pros-pect of having Marc fl own to London, Ont., for special care and treatment.

Marc, who is now a very active energetic little guy weighing in at 43 pounds, was recently back at the hospital’s NICU along with his parents for a special celebration related to the 2010 Scotties Tourna-ment of Hearts, underway at the Essar Centre.

The Sandra Schmirler Foundation has provided the local hospital with $30,000

for the purchase of new equipment for the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

The Sandra Schmirler Foundation was created in January 2001 as a legacy to three-time world curling champion and Olympic gold medalist Sandra Schmirler in recognition and celebration of her love of family. The foundation’s mission is caring for babies in crisis through direct giving to neonatal care across Canada.

“The new equipment will be put to immediate use in the current hospital, and will then become part of the new state-of-the-art neo-natal intensive care unit in the new hospital next year,” says Johanne Messier-Mann, chief nursing offi cer and director of the maternal/child program and nursing practice at the hospital.

Recalling the Sisterhood of

the Big Hair

Several pundits have scoured the national women’s curling

history book but none have been able to discover a match for the quirky record established at the Essar Centre this week by Jill Thurston, Jennifer Jones and Kelly Scott.

Call it the Big Hair Sister-hood.

“Yeah,” says Thurston, “back in those days we had the (really) big hair.”

“You see my curlies now?” adds Jones. “You should have seen them then!”

The late 1980s, early 1990s, apparently were all about ballooning coiffures for the ladies.

And it was the 1991 Canadian junior women’s championship at Leduc, just south of Edmonton, where Thurston, Jones and Scott played on the same Manitoba team. Skip, third and lead respectively, if you must know.

Hence the offbeat re-cord, involving three old teammates arriving at the Scotties and skipping three different teams. That’s 25 per cent of the fi eld, in case you’re not up on your arithmetic.

And it just never has hap-pened before.

“I think it’s pretty neat, not only that we’re still able to curl — a lot of people give it up at such a young age — but that we’ve all been successful,” says Thur-ston, whose maiden name in junior days was Staub.

“Obviously, Jenn and Kelly have been quite suc-cessful!”

Their Manitoba junior team made it to the cham-pionship fi nal but lost an extra-end thriller to Heather Smith (Dacey), then skip-ping the New Brunswick entry. It ended with the Herringchokers stealing the duke.

Oh yes, and one more coincidence. Current New Brunswick third Denise Nowlan played the same position with that conquer-ing junior team of ’91.

To boot, current B.C. third Jeanna Schraeder, current Ontario third Tara George, current Quebec third Brenda Nicholls and current Newf/Lab second Rhonda Rogers also took part in the same tournament.

“Back then we were defi nitely gung-ho,” recalls Thurston. “We worked really, really hard. We just curled, nothing else. We ate, slept, breathed curling back then.”

Celebrating 5 Great Years in The Soo.


The lone Sault native competing in the current Scotties at the

Essar Centre is revelling in this week’s curling home-coming.

“The whole thing has a nice feel to it,” says Tara George, formerly Coulter-man, the third player on the Ontario champion team from Thunder Bay skipped by Krista McCarville.

“It’s nice to come in and know there is going to be a lot of support for us,” she is say-ing the other day. “We’ve had a lot of good things leading up to it so we’ve been looking forward to it.”

Indeed, this Ontario cham-pion hit the Essar on a high after sweeping the 10-team provincials at Thunder Bay and reaching the semi-fi nal of the Tim Hortons Olympic Trials at Edmonton in Decem-ber after qualifying second from the pre-Trials at Prince George in November.

“Krista is brimming with confi dence. We played well at Trials, we had a good week, we stuck to our game plan and we shot like we know we can,” says George.

“It would have been nice to have escaped those tie-breakers and the three-game day but it was still good. It helped us prove to ourselves that we are where we should be. We came out of there with a lot of positives to build on.”

And the soaring confi -dence was evident in the Ontario championship that appeared on paper to be a rout but, in reality, wasn’t.

“Not an easy sweep,” says George. “There were tough teams there. Kathy Auld and Jenn Hanna are tough oppo-nents. There were a lot of other good young teams I’m sure we’ll see numerous times in the future.

“We just had a good week. We were shooting well. Ashley (Miharija) stepped

in at second and played fan-tastically well. I think that travelling with us the last year-and-a-half she learned a lot about us and about our team dynamics. It helped that she’d been around. And we knew she was a shooter. I think she probably was mid-Eighties throughout the week.”

When veteran lead Lor-raine Lang retired following the Trials, Miharija was pro-moted from fi fth to second and Kari MacLean dropped to the lead position.

“Kari has played lead for a number of years and loves the position,” says George. “She has a passion for it.

When she came on the team Lorraine had been our lead for a number of years and so when this came about it was a natural move and she was excited to try

that position again.”Fans at the provincials, of

course, were vociferous in their support of the McCar-ville squad.

“It probably was an advantage (playing it at the Port Arthur club),” says George. “We had fantas-tic support, they had full bleachers on the ice and great crowds. It was some-thing to build on, defi nitely. In a tough game, having the crowd behind you always helps you out.”

It’s no different at the Essar.

“I love coming to the Sault because the crowds are amazing,” says George. “They get behind their teams. It was like that grow-ing up. And I couldn’t wait to get back here.”

Playing its fourth Scotties in fi ve years, the McCar-villes are carrying a reputa-

tion for perfection at the provincial level and medioc-rity at the national level.

“The difference now is the way we’re playing and the confi dence in the way we’re playing,” says George.

“We have a game plan that we’ve stuck to the last little while and hopefully it will pull us through.”

George departed the Sault in 1992, moving to the Lakehead to attend univer-sity.

“But it was kind of a double move,” she recalled. “It was partially for curling, too. Rhonda Skillen, who was Rhonda Halvorsen at the time, had asked me to come up and play with them and I had some junior years

left, so I did.“I’ve curled back here

twice — once in colleges and once when the Ontario women’s championship was here.

No team from Sault Ste. Marie ever has qualifi ed for a shot at the Canadian women’s title and George considers that a surprising statistic.

“It seems a lot of good ju-niors move away to college and don’t return, maybe that’s why no one from here has won the province,” she allowed.

“But it was wonderful growing up here, it really was,” she said. “It’s a won-derful curling town. We had a really competitive high school league here. That helped tons. It helped with my passion for the sport.”

It’s an enduring passion that’s hitting a new high for intensity this week on the Essar ice lanes.

“We have a whole new attitude,” said George. “We expect to be right there at the end.”

“Sandra’s legacy will live on through the infants and families we serve in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma region for many years to come.”

Cheryl Pavoni, executive director of the hospital, says, “our community and hospital are both benefi tting greatly by the presence of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Sandra Schmirler Foundation in the Sault this year.”

For little Marc St. Eloi, the hospital celebration was especially exciting,

because some of the nurses who looked after him in the neonatal unit more than four years ago, when he weighed less than four pounds, were on hand to say hello. “The nurses were so thrilled to see him,” says Luisa.

Although Marc doesn’t remember the faces and names of those healthcare professionals who gave him special care during his fi ve weeks in the neona-tal intensive care unit, he understood that this was a

special area of the hospital that looks after very small babies. He also knows he

was one of those special babies, a “preemie” only a few years ago.

A telethon is held annually during the Scotties Tourna-ment of Hearts to raise funds for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation. This year’s edi-tion was staged on Sunday.

“Over the past 10 years, we have donated more than one million dollars to help babies in crisis right across Canada, and we are com-mitted to helping neonatal intensive care units in com-munities that so generously

support our fundraising efforts,” said Al Hodgins, chair of the Sandra Schmir-ler Foundation.

And for Luisa Martone and Mike St. Eloi of Sault Ste. Marie, and their healthy young bundle of energy, Marc, the impor-tance of neonatal care and the support provided by the Sandra Schmirler Founda-tion will always be top of mind . . . particularly as they watch this week’s Scotties at their hometown arena.

FAVESIn another late game, New

Brunswick’s Kelly won her fi rst, 10-6 over winless Nancy McConnery of Nova Scotia

B.C. skip Kelly Scott covered part of the button with a last-rock cold draw to defeat Belisle 6-4 Sunday afternoon while Manitoba’s Jill Thurston ran away from Nichols 11-6 with a killer four-count in the seventh end the major blow.

“I thought I needed just a touch extra on that last draw and it worked out,” said Scott, whose fi nal stone ground to a halt in winning territory.

Thurston admitted the play-ing surface began to fudge in the late ends: “When you have ice like that it’s defi nite-ly and advantage to get a lead as soon as possible.”

Manitoba led by a point when Thurston executed a precise takeout for the four-ender. Said Nicholls: “My draw weight just wasn’t there. I’d make one, miss one, make one, miss one. You aren’t helping anybody when you’re going like that.”

Thurston, who lost to Jones in her opening assign-ment, admitted her team was applying far more pres-sure Sunday.

“That’s the game,” she said. “You apply the pres-sure and that’s how you steal points. We have to go out and play our game and stay within ourselves just like we did in the provin-cials. It’s still just curling. You do the things you do that make you successful.”

MANFRED J. FISCHER DAVE LILLIERON SONKE 680 Albert Street E. (705) 942-1949

“The hair was bigger and Kelly (then a 13-year-old MacKenzie) was a lot smaller and we really loved the game and we were tight as a group. It was a fun year and a great experience.”

So how would skip Thur-ston have reacted if some-one had told her back then that, 20 years from now, the three of them would be skipping different quartets in a single edition of the Scotties?

“You know what?” she asks. “I would have said you’re probably right. Jen-nifer and Kelly both were great curlers back then and they had a lot of passion for the game. And, really, we should have, would have, could have, been Canadian champions at that time so I don’t think it would have been a shock to me.”

She says the three don’t connect much any more. Jones “travels a lot” and Scott long since has taken up residence in West Kelowna.

“I guess it’s kind of neat, seeing how things evolve,” allows Jones, whose goal here is a third straight Scot-ties title.

“But it was a long time ago. I hardly remember any-thing about it. I know we beat Tara (George). It’s just that it’s a long time ago.

“I haven’t played with Jill since then and I haven’t played with Kelly since then. Jill was out of juniors the next year and we all went our separate ways.

“But it was fi rst time any of us had been in a national championship so it was,

like, the start of our careers.“They’re great players

and it’s fun to play against them.”

Scott agrees the skipping reunion is something of a rarity.

“That was our fi rst chance at national exposure and here we are back again? It’s rare that I would have moved provinces and then Jenn and Jill, coming from the same province, would be here with Jenn representing Team Canada. It’s neat.

“That really was what started it for me. It opened my eyes to what curling is all about — winning your province, going to nation-als, meeting people from different provinces and de-

veloping friendships across Canada that still last to this day. “The team was just a fun bunch of young girls that had big goals and big dreams and we made it as far as the Canadian fi nal.”

Kelly fi rst joined Thur-ston on a junior team at the tender age of 11.

“Two years later, I was playing in a Canadian fi nal on TV. That was a pretty big deal for a 13-year-old.”

Thurston had picked up Jones to play third the same year. And Jones was back skipping Manitoba teams in the Juniors in three of the next four years. She won in 1994. Kelly skipped her winner the next year.

“The friendships are still there,” contends Scott. “Jenn and I meet up at these events as opponents all the time. Jill and I have always kept in touch. We’re interested in one another’s families, children, dogs and parents.

“I have a lot of respect for Jill and what she exposed me to at such a young age. I’ll never forget that.”

Count perseverance among Amber Holland’s premier

attributes.The 1992 Canadian junior

champion skip has had her eye on a Scotties title ever since but, until a January engagement at Kindersley and Eston, never was able to claim the Saskatchewan women’s title.

All that changed with highly credible perfor-mances at both the Prince George Olympic Pre-Trials in November and Edmonton Olympic Trials in Decem-ber.

And, playing out of Kro-nau, just south of Regina, Holland won the latest provincial bauble with a 7-1

record in the 12-team split round-robin competition.

Along with Kim Sch-neider, Tammy Schneider and Heather Kalenchuk, skip Holland defeated Saskatoon veteran Sherry Anderson 9-6 in the fi nal. The blonde Holland was undefeated in her side of the round-robin draw with fi ve straight wins while Ander-son’s Granite club team of Kim Hodson, Heather Walsh and Donna Gignac won the other side with a 4-1 record and a last-round win over defending cham-pion Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon.

In the Page One-Two collision, Anderson hit for three in the fourth end and refused to relinquish control in an eventual 9-4 decision that dropped Holland to the semi-fi nal against Lawton.

But that extra game didn’t hurt Holland and Co. They jumped into an early 4-0 lead with a deuce in the fi rst and a theft of two more in the second when Lawton wrecked on a rock in the 12-foot. It was a relative cruise to an 8-6 win thereafter.

Then, in the fi nal, Hol-land wiped out a one-point defi cit in the fourth with a three-ender and could have had four but threw light on the draw.

She yielded a tying deuce

to Anderson in the fi fth and after a trade of deuces in the sixth and seventh panels, took a one-point edge in the eighth and applied a killer steal of two in the ninth.

Lawton settled for a berth in the Page Three-Four playoff after losing 6-3 to Anderson in the preliminary wrapup.

But, in the sudden-death playoff, Lawton negotiated a narrow port with her last rock of the sixth end, con-nected for a double takeout and scored a game-ending six for a 9-2 conquest of Regina’s Chantelle Eberle.

Trailing Holland (7-1) af-ter the fi nish were Anderson and Lawton at 5-2, Eberle at 3-3, Michelle Englot of Regina and Patti Hersikorn of Saskatoon at 3-2, Robyn Silvernagle of Meadow Lake, Cathy Inglis and

Jolene Campbell of Re-gina at 2-3, Cindy Ricci of Lampman and Susan Lang of Regina at 1-4 and former champion Tracy Streifel of

Saskatoon at 0-5.As was the vogue during

the Trials, Holland will have Campbell on hand as fi fth player at the Scotties.
