Sponsor of the Day A DREAM COME TRUE!

Since 2000, I have had the privilege of playing in the Scotties eight times. In the process, I have made tremendous friendships with curling fans from coast to coast.

Now with the Scotties coming to Montreal in 2014, it is our opportunity to repay all of the great hospitality.

It is my personal wish that you can be there to experience the charm of Montreal, and a Scotties Tournament of Hearts like no other.

BY JIM MORRIS It might have been just one more win for Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones but it could also have been a preview of Sunday’s final. It’s difficult to judge the significance of Manitoba’s 8-5 win over Team Canada in the marquee game of Wednesday after- noon’s draw at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The win kept Manitoba’s record unblemished at 7-0 and knocked Heather Nedohin from the ranks of the undefeated. “We made enough shots to win the game,” said Jones. “We needed to make big shots and made them. That’s always a con- fidence boost.” It also set the stage for a key matchup Thursday morning when Jones plays Ontario’s Rachel Homan. The young Ontario skip used a 8-2, eight-end victory over Jill Shumay’s slumping Saskatchewan crew to keep pace with Jones at 7-0. The last time a rink went unbeaten at the Scotties was managing an 11-0 record in 1985. In Wednesday’s evening draw B.C.’s kept her play- off hopes alive by stealing a 9-8 win from Suzanne Birt of P.E.I. That halted a four-game win streak for Birt. Scott and Shumay are tied at 4-3. It wasn’t so much of a surprise that Jones won but how Nedohin lost. For the first four ends the defending champion from the Saville Sports Centre in Edmonton played a conserv- ative game, electing to keep rocks out of the house. She was forced to change her strategy after giving up a deuce in the fourth and a steal in the fifth to trail 3-1. “I was a little surprised to see them go defensive,” said Jones, the former world champion who is looking to win her fifth Scotties crown. “We like to play with lots of rocks. It’s more fun. That’s what curling is all about, to get some rocks in play.” Nedohin defended her game plan. “That’s how we have been playing all week,” she said. “We go with the flow. “I don’t think we were overly conservative. That’s a team that makes great shots. If they want to play with a bunch of rocks, I kind of like to tone it down a bit for them.” With the score 6-5, and without the hammer, Nedohin needed a steal to force an extra end. Instead Jones threw a per- fect last stone to tap back Nedohin’s rock and score two. “All you can ask for is last rock coming home and hopefully a shot to win,” said Jones. Nedohin struggled at times. She curled just 69 per cent, by ANDREW KLAVER/CCA far her worst showing of the week. “It wasn’t my more better game,” she said. “I missed two No kidding Ontario third was all smiles Wednesday. the Rachel Homan team is undefeated as is Mantioba’s doubles by a sliver.

The second for Saskatche- wan’s team at this week’s Scot- ties Tournament of Hearts and the goaltender for the NHL Washington Capitals are more than siblings. They are best friends who respect each other. “She’s probably the smartest person I ever met,” Braden said in a telephone interview. “She’s the hardest working person I’ve ever met in my life.” Taryn, a veterinarian in Lloydminster, choked back a tear when told of Braden’s words. “I wouldn’t give him up for anything,” she said. “I love him to death.” Taryn, 24, is 14 months older and about a foot shorter than Braden. Even while growing up on a farm in Marshall, Sask., the two were close. “They did everything together,” said mother Tami Holtby, who has been attending the Scotties all week. “They really were Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby’s sister Taryn is Saskatchewan’s second this week in Kingston.

“Fans and athletes can access the K-Rock Centre via King Street East while construction takes place. Two lanes of traffic will remain open to vehicles, as well as the sidewalk on the east side of King Street.

All businesses remain open and ready to serve you. This includes K-Town Physiotherapy, which will have alter- nate access created. Should you have any difficulty navigating the construc- tion site, please look for a construction worker wearing a blue hard hat- they are there to help you find your way.” B.C, front-end lead (alternate) Diane Gushulak and second had a busy sweeping night, and the two-time champs are right back in the picture raising their record to 4-3. theexcitement! thestories! thescores!

Prior to the Scotties Braden sent Taryn a message of encourage- ment. “It was a long speech,” Taryn said. “He’s pretty good at the sports psychology too. Many sports psychologists and coaches would have been impressed with it. “It was encouragement, talking about playing every game, the small ones just like the big ones. He said the shots haven’t changed and make the moments last.” Braden said the message wasn’t all that complex. “I told her to relax,” he said. “Just keep having fun. “She worked hard and deserved it. Just have fun. Enjoy it.” Braden isn’t the only member of the Capitals keeping an eye on the Scotties. Eric Fehr of Winkler, Man., and Jason Chimera of Edmonton are also tracking scores. “We have a couple of curling fans,” he said. “All the Canadians know about it. They are pretty excited.” He doubts Alex Ovechkin cares. “A lot of guys don’t have any clue what curling is about,” he laughed. Taryn understands she has a very unique relationship with her brother. “It’s fantastic,” she said. “You hear about lots of sibling rivalries, or siblings that don’t get along. OLG is proud to work with communities in Ontario and be part of bringing “It was never like that.” over 200 local events to life, like the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Braden does have one complaint about his sister. “I don’t know how she can be so nice all the time,” he laughed. “It used to frustrate me when we were growing up. “She would never get mad at anyone. It taught me a lot about how to live your life. The attitude she had all the time, she was so positive.”

Said president Kate Caithness of Scotland: ““The curling world has lost a great friend. Arleen devoted her life to our sport. She will be remembered not only as a competi- tive curler but also as a top class Canadian and international curling official.” Seven-time Saskatchewan champion skip , who grew to know Day as a player and as an official and was the alternate player with Day as the coach with Regina’s Kathy Fahlman at the 1987 Scott Tournaments of Hearts, told Murray McCormick of the Leader-Post: “She (Day) will be missed. She was part of a whole group of curlers who were instrumental in helping young curlers like me get started.’ Even though she was a hard-ass, everybody knew she was doing it for the good of the sport. She had an unbelievable sense of humour, which you got to know when you were playing right beside her while she was officiating.’’ Added Regina’s , the 2011 Canadian women’s champion and the current execu- tive-director of the Saskatchewan Curling Association: “She was one of those people in curling who did everything. She was president of the ladies’ curl- ing association and obviously curled, but officiating was the highlight for her. She took that so seri- ously for a volunteer position. “You have some volunteers who do a great job, but it was Arleen’s job when she did it. She made it known that she had one expectation about what should be done and how it should be done right. She was classy in the way that you wouldn’t think of in terms of classy. She wasn’t dinner-party classy, but classy in the way that she handled herself.’’ Highlights of Arleen Day’s officiating resume:
