2018 Scotties TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS

For three teams, it now comes down to building momentum and getting those final wins to carry into the Championship Pool

of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. For several others today’s final draws will be about trying to get the critical victory to keep alive their hopes of wearing the Team Canada jerseys.

After 11 draws only three teams have ad-vanced beyond today’s final draws in the ini-tial round-robin — five-time champion Jenni-fer Jones of Manitoba (5-0, Winnipeg), Casey Scheidegger of Alberta (5-1, Lethbridge) and Michelle Englot’s Team Canada (5-1, Winnipeg).

Alberta and Team Canada secured their spots Tuesday evening — Scheidegger beat-ing Kesa Van Osch of British Columbia (3-3,

Nanaimo) 11-1 and Englot getting by Robyn MacPhee of P.E.I. (1-5, Charlottetown) 7-5.

Stacie Curtis of Newfoundland-Labrador had a chance to join the moving-on teams, but she ran into the rapidly improving teenage Quebec team skipped by Émilia Gagné and lost 9-7. That dropped Curtis to 4-2 and left her needing to beat B.C. in today’s afternoon draw to advance.

Jones was first to advance, doing so in the afternoon when the 2014 Olympic gold med-allist had her first challenge of the tournament but parlayed three deuces into a 7-4 win over Sylvie Robichaud of New Brunswick.

It was the first time in five games, all victo-ries, that the Jones crew didn’t score in double digits and played into the ninth and 10th ends.

“It’s certainly not a bad thing,” second Jill Officer said of having a bit of a challenging game. “It was nice to be out there for the dura-

tion of a game, make sure the ice was staying consistent. So, it’s never a bad thing to be out there for the whole time.”

The win kept Manitoba perfect in Pool A and even if they lose both their games today they would still move on into the Champion-ship Pool that begins play on Thursday.

The 16 teams were divided into two pools for the initial round-robin, with the top four teams in each pool advancing into a second round-robin where they will cross over to play teams in the opposite pool. They take their won-loss records into the next round.

“We just want to stay tough and keep playing well heading into that championship round,” said Scheidegger. “I feel like we’re not quite firing on all cylinders yet, so I think we can still improve Going into that Champion-ship Pool with one loss would be huge. Every-body in that pool will be tough to beat.”

Kerri Einarson, who won the wild card game last Friday, beat winless Chelsea Dun-can of the Yukon and remain in the hunt for the top spot in Pool A. After this morning’s draw, where Team Wild Card plays the 1-4 Kerry Ga-lusha of Northwest Territories and Manitoba takes on 3-2 Northern Ontario, Einarson and Jones will meet in the final draw.

“It always seems like we play them last game,” Einarson said of meeting the unbeat-en Jones. “But we have one more game be-fore her, so we have to get out some kinks that we have. I know I have a few things I have to touch up on, but I feel really good and feel confident.

“You definitely don’t want to drop any losses. It’s a weird format, going forward and taking your losses and your record with you so you definitely want to have the best record going into the championship round.”

Say nuclear laboratory to many people and their minds are likely to flash to Chernobyl, Ukraine, Fukushima, Japan

or Three Mile Island, Penn., site of three of the top 10 nuclear disasters in history.

To Leslie Wilson, however, a nuclear laboratory is just a place where she works, where she has the responsibility of ensuring all existing environmental standards are followed and met.

The second for Michelle Englot’s Team Canada here at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the 38-year-old Wilson’s job is environmental specialist for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (Whiteshell) in Pinawa, Man.

The Atomic Energy of Canada Limited lab has been shut down since 1985 and Wilson’s job is, basically, to work herself out of a job.

“We are kind of,” she says. “We’re basically working to clean up the site and walk away from it, so we are kind of working ourselves out of a job. But I don’t see it that way, we’re just working to clean up the site.

Einarson is fishing for a title

There’s nothing fishy about how good a curler Kerri Einarson is, but there is about family life back in Camp Morton, Man.

It’s a pastoral spot just outside Camp Morton Provincial Park on the western edge of Lake Winnipeg with “a total population of maybe 50 people.” It’s a few minutes north of Gimli, which is another hour away from The ’Peg. She lives on farmland that used to be her husband Kyle’s grandparents’ homestead.

“I love it out there. It’s very nice,” said Einarson, the mother of four-year-old twin girls, Khloe and Kamryn. “In the summer it does get quite busy. There’s

lots of campgrounds, too, and beaches as well. I always take my girls down there, and my dogs (Taser, a black lab and Tikka, a yellow lab). There’s a few big boulders out there where we go out swimming. We really enjoy it.

Kyle is a commercial fisher selling the pickerel he catches on Lake Winnipeg. Although it may seem strange to have a commercial fishery in the middle of the prairie she says “there’s lots of fishermen up in Gimli.” Sometimes Einarson will help Kyle during fishing seasons – winter, spring and fall. But those also clash with curling season.

“We enjoy (fishing),” said Einarson, who also works part time five days a week as a rehabilitation aide in a seniors home in Gimli. “I try my best. It’s tough with two girls now, but the girls and I go in there and help him. I go out there with him as well.

“We really haven’t got to do that much this year. We’ve been pretty busy curling.”

Kerri Einarson has a busy life on the shores on Lake Winnipeg.

Oh yeah, curling. She’s pretty good at it. It takes a lot of juggling to make it happen, but Einarson makes it happen. She’s used to it.

“Right after work, and then having to go the city is really tough,” Einarson said. “You just want to go home with the girls, relax, cook supper with them, put them to bed. Sometimes I don’t get to do that. But my teammates (third Selena Kaatz, second Liz Fyfe and lead Kristin MacCuish) are very supportive. They help me with that as well. When I say, ‘Sorry guys, not going to come. I’m just going to throw here in Gimli,’ they appreciate that.”

Even though she lives in a sleepy town and grew up in one, Clandeboye near the southwest corner of Lake Winnipeg, she’s used to the hectic pace of doing double, triple, quadruple and more duties.

“I do lots of driving for curling. Always have since I was young. My parents always driving me into the city. Being from a rural town, you always knew you have to commute,” said Einarson, who beat Alberta’s Chelsea Carey in the first wild card game of Curling Canada’s new 16-team format. “I’m very busy, but I have great support. Family support, my co-workers, my boss; they’re all supportive and I appreciate that.”

Einarson’s hoping she’ll need some more support in March because if she wins here her team will be off to North Bay, Ont., for the 2018 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship to represent Canada.

So far, so good in their quest.“We’re doing well. We definitely still have

some tough games left so we still have to keep playing our best,” says Einarson.

But to get to North Bay she’ll have to go through another Manitoba team skipped by five-time Canadian champion and 2014

Olympic gold medallist Jennifer Jones. Heading into Wednesday night’s final Pool A round robin draw when the two collide, Einarson is 0-17 against Jones.

“Well, I just keep telling myself, ‘Oh, one day I’ll win!’ But it will come,” says Einarson, who feels Jones does a good job of putting pressure on her opponents. “I just need to improve on capitalizing on their misses as well, and really putting the pressure on them.”

“I have to make sure that all the environmental laws and regulations are followed and all the environmental standards. I work mostly on ISO 14001, that’s the standard for environmental management.”

Most of her work is behind a desk, although she figures she’s out in the field about 10 per cent of the time, working on “decommissioning the nuclear facility. It’s not operational. It’s just in a safe state, a shutdown mode so we’re slowly decommissioning the site.”

The lab was built for nuclear research during the early 1960s with its major focus the organically cooled research reactor, which was shut down in 1985 and is partially decommissioned and in safe storage awaiting final decommission.

“We have a very big environmental monitoring program, so we monitor any emissions that are leaving the site and we also monitor outside the site, take quite a few samples downstream and that kind of thing,” says Wilson, who is playing in her fourth Scotties. “We’re constantly monitoring that. We’re not making nuclear

power there so emissions are very low.”Wilson is part of Englot’s team that

finished second in last year’s Scotties, losing the final to Rachel Homan’s Ottawa-based team, and is looking to take the final step to winning the championship and getting to wear the Team Canada jersey for an entire year. She graduated with an environmental studies degree in 2004 and worked in government jobs, for the City of Winnipeg in waste management, and then for Manitoba conservation.

“Then I heard there was an opening for an environmental specialist at the site and I just went for it. I’ve worked there for just over nine years now.”

What she found, besides a satisfying, steady career, was an enjoyable lifestyle in the Pinawa area, located about an hour east and north of Winnipeg. It’s a small community, surrounded by lakes, forests and rocks, where the friendly, laid-back population has learned to relax and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature.

“I really like the area, the Whiteshell Provincial Park, it’s right on the water, very relaxing, really nice place to live,” she says. “I never won a provincial championship until I moved to Pinawa. I think it was just a good place to chill out and relax.”

Q&A

Q. WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CURLING CANADA?A. Basically to get the word out about our championships, our sport and deal

with any of the media requests that come as a result of that. That means by communicating by traditional forms, like news releases and social media.

Q. YOU SEEM TO BE VERY BUSY THIS WEEK. IS IT ALWAYS LIKE THAT?A. Communications is such a multi-headed monster. It’s not like the old days

when you sent out a FAX. Now there’s so many ways to communicate. As a consequence, so many things to monitor. Then, every so often, there’s a fire to put out. That’s what adds to the challenge and makes this a pretty busy job. There’s always things to keep on top of.

Q. WHAT’S YOUR BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE JOB?A. I was a newspaper reporter for 26 years (Kamloops Daily News and Calgary

Herald).

Q. DOES IT HELP THAT YOU WERE ONCE A REPORTER AND KNOW THE NEEDS OF THE NEWS PEOPLE YOU NOW DEAL WITH?

A. I think so. Having covered this event it gives me a sense of anticipation and ways to make it easier for people to do their jobs. Part of the job is management of crises. They come up but I’m in a sport where they’re few and far between.

Q. WHAT’S THE BEST PART OF THE JOB?A. Oh, by far the people. I get to watch ordinary people do extraordinary things.

To interact with these athletes on a daily basis is an absolute joy and priviledge.

Q. IT MUST BE EXTREMELY SATISFYING THAT THE CANADIAN ATHLETES YOU DEAL WITH ARE SO SUCCESSFUL INTERNATIONALLY?

A. When I’m around other communications directors from other countries, I get to show off all these medals our athletes win. It does make the job easier. I get to write about winning world championships on a fairly regular basis.

Q. THIS IS AN OLYMPIC YEAR AND YOU’RE HEADING OFF TO SOUTH KOREA SOON. YOUR SCHEDULE THIS YEAR MUST BE EXHUASTING.

A. It’s been solid since Nov. 4 when I travelled to Summerside for the pre-Trials, and taking the Christmas break out of it, there’s not a day off until April 8th.

Q. ANY DOWNSIDES TO THE JOB?A. My wife Krista and sons Ethan and Isaac know all too well that I’m not

around a lot in the winter. But they understand and are supportive. But it helps that I have a great support staff. Sometimes I have to get out of their way and let them do their thing. That makes it easier.

Q. ANY ATHLETES YOU CAN SAY ARE YOUR FAVOURITES?A. That’s again where I can say I’m fortunate, and Curling Canada is fortunate.

We have all run across athletes who are troublesome to deal with in other sports. I’ve been in this job for almost six years now and I can count on less than one hand when there’s been a post-game issue dealing with an athlete. It’s hard to rank them. I’ve seen some remarkable grace under demands and pressure.

Al CameronDirector of Communications

and Media Relations for Curling CanadaAl Cameron has been a busy

man this past week. Besides meeting the needs of the media in Penticton for the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, he’s preparing to leave shortly for the Olympic Games in South Korea where he’ll take care of the Canadian media contingent that will be covering men’s, women’s and mixed doubles curling. We caught up to Cameron to find out a little more about the demands of his job.

Next stop, the Scotties! Curling attracts a vast variety of fans,

ranging from infants in the arms of parents, to school students to professionals taking time off work to watch this week’s Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

One of those fans this week is 28-year-old Richard Ho, a medical resident from Vancouver who endured an overnight bus ride to get here to not only watch the action, but also to volunteer as a driver.

“I wasn’t sure, with the snow on the Coquihalla, whether it would be dangerous driving up by myself,” Ho said of his reason for jumping onto a packed bus for a five-hour ride that turned into seven hours. “It was pretty full, but it was overnight, so I slept.”

Ho is midway through his third year of a five-year residency in physiatry, a medical specialty aiming to improve function and enhance quality of life in persons with disabilities.

“We try to enhance their quality of life and we try to enhance and rehabilitate from whatever injuries they may have had,” he explained during a lull in his duties as a volunteer driver. “I was always interested in sports medicine, so I liked that side of rehab medicine. Then I did some rotations in physiatry as a medical student and I

really liked it.”Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

physicians, also known as physiatrists, treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves,

bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

It’s a long educational/training process, with four years of medical school, followed by the five years of residency, during which

time Ho says, “you do make money but obviously not a full salary,” which helps explain the bus ride instead of flying.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Ho has long had a keen interest in curling, and the Scotties in particular.

“I played curling in high school and I loved watching the Scotties all the time, every year, but it’s never been (close) to the west coast until now, or at least over the last few years so I decided to come up and see it (live),” he said.

And instead of just coming as a fan, he decided to volunteer as a driver, even though he doesn’t know the streets of Penticton. It’s all Goggle maps and GPS. Most of the driving is between the South Okanagan Events Centre, where the games are being played, and the Penticton Lakeside Resort and Convention Centre where players, officials and media are staying, so it’s a steady, short route.

So how was his experience here?“Loving it,” he said on Tuesday.

“Meeting people, getting involved, watching the games live, it’s been awesome. I have all night shifts, so I can see pretty much everything during the day. And when it’s slow here (driving) I can watch some of the games, too.”

He does, however, have to return home today (Wednesday) to get back to work.

“I miss the final but it’s good. I absolutely will be watching in Vancouver.”

Several members of Team Yukon must have wondered what was going on Tuesday when they opened up the HeartChart to find out they were from Scotland.

The Scottish bios were what we call in the publishing business ‘placeholder copy’ and needed to be replaced with the correct Yukon information when available.

That never happened, and we at the HeartChart apologize for that.

But stuff happens.So today we move on and publish

the correct information with our sincere apologies.

Fortunately, the ladies from the Yukon have already forgiven us.

“I can totally understand! No harm done,” said Kara Price in an e-mail. “It gave us all a chuckle at least.”

And in closing she added: “We’re just going to work on our Scottish accents.”
