Wow! They saved the best for last as the final playoff positions were determined during a wild night of excitement during the last round- robin draw Friday at the Tim Hor- tons Brier, presented by Monsanto. The final piece of the puzzle fell into place when Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton delivered a last-rock draw to the button for a 6-5 extra end victory over B.C.’s Andrew Bilesky, who was playing for noth- ing but pride. Alberta skip Kevin Martin could only watch his playoff hopes dis- appear as Stoughton celebrated the victory. Martin used a last-rock draw of his own for a 6-5 win that handed Ontario’s Glenn Howard his first loss. But Martin couldn’t overcome a horrible start to the week and won’t have a chance to win a record fifth Brier. “That was the most exciting evening I have ever been involved in curling,” said Howard, who fin- ished first with a 10-1 record. “I thoroughly enjoyed that evening.” Howard will now play Stoughton (8-3) in Saturday afternoon’s 1-2 game. Brad Gushue of Newfound- land & Labrador (8-3) faces Brad Jacobs of Northern Ontario (8-3) in the 3-4 game. Jacobs secured a playoff spot when he scored three points in the 10th end for a 5-3 win over Paul Flemming of Nova Scotia (1-10). “There’s relief and I’m elated by this,” said Jacobs. “We really wanted to come here and do as well as we could. “We made the playoffs.

Fortunately we are making a lot of shots to make them good games.,” The loss ended Menard’s playoff hopes. “We controlled our destiny and unfortunately we’re not able to pull off the win,” said the 2006 Brier champion. The winner of the Howard-Stoughton game advances directly to Sunday’s final. The loser goes to the semifinal and will face the winner of the Gushue-Jacobs match. The loser of the 3-4 game meets the semifinal loser in Sunday’s bronze-medal game. The Brier winner will represent Canada at the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship, beginning March 30 in Victoria. Martin kept his playoff hopes alive with an edge-of-the-seat victory over Gushue during the morning draw. The veteran skip used his last rock in the 10th end removed a Gushue stone to score two for a 6-5 win. “It was a really good toe-to-toe battle,” said Martin. Jamie Koe of NWT/Yukon played spoiler in the morning, defeating Stoughton 7-6 and denying the Winnipeg skip a chance to wrap up second spot. THE OFFICIAL SPIRIT OF “They played well but we didn’t,” said Stoughton. “We didn’t get rocks in position.” CHAMPIONSHIP CURLING The win helped ease the frustration of a disappointing week for Koe, who made the play- offs last year with a 7-4 record. “You want to do well and you train to do well,” said Koe. “When you don’t play at your peak when you’re supposed to it’s disappointing. “It’s always good to go out on a winning note.” In the other morning games New Brunswick beat B.C. 8-4 while Ontario pounded P.E.I. www.amarula.com Represented by PMA Canada Ltd. | www.pmacanada.com 6-1.

Art lovers will have a chance to add to their collection this weekend. The curling paintings created during the Tim Hortons Brier by artist Rachel Nickerson will go on auction Saturday between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Brier Patch. Another auction will be held Sunday between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Also up for auction are 10 prints. The money will be used by the Canadian Curling Association to enhance the sport in Canada. Nickerson has spent the week creating eight paintings in eight days. She calls the work “a legacy collection.” Each evening Nickerson and several members of the Canadian Curling Asso- ciation sifted through photographs taken during the day of action on the ice and events in the crowd. Together they selected one image was transformed into a painting. “We go through the images and see what grabs everyone’s attention and what they feel is the highlight of that day,” Nickerson said in an interview. “In the end you hope to have this really cool visual of what the highlights were through the whole tournament.” Two depictions, done in bright, vibrant colours, are a salute to Alberta curl- ing history. One is the Legends of Northern Alberta which has images of Brier champions Matt Baldwin, Hec Gervais, Pat Ryan, Randy Ferbey, Kevin Martin and Kevin Koe. The other is a back view of the three-time world champion Ferbey rink look- ing at the Brier Tankard. This portrait is autographed by the team. As usual, it’s the colourful fans the make the Tim Hortons Brier complete, such as this Alberta booster.

The vultures began circling around Kevin Martin’s rink even when the carcass was still moving. The veteran Alberta skip didn’t do anything to delay the post mortem when he declared his rink’s playoff hopes were dead on Tuesday. Martin’s struggles at this week’s Tim Hortons Brier has led to plenty of speculation about the future of his team of John Morris, Marc Kennedy and Ben Hebert. Martin gave one his typical shrugs and surprised looks when asked if his performance this week changes his immediate future plans. “Not at all,” said the former world champion and Olympic gold medallist. “I can put loses in the rear view mirror real easy.” After surviving on life support the first part of the week Mar- tin’s team got its heart pumping and put together an impres- sive string of victories to show reports of their early demise had been greatly exaggerated. The jury is still out on whether this week was an aberration or a glimpse of what the future holds. “We know how to win,” said Kennedy, the veteran second. “We know what it takes. We know you can have an off week. “I think it’s been a little bit blown out of portion how nega- tive things have been.” What does the future hold for the Martin Four after this Olympic cycle?
