Clean sweep
When it comes to brushing the brick, nobody does
it better than Alberta’s Joanne Courtney (right) and
Rachelle Pidherny. See Jim Morris on Page 2.

Alberta duo sweeps to new standard
A
sk Val Sweeting and the Alberta skip
will tell you her front-end sweepers
are worth at least one extra point a
game.
Manitoba skip Chelsea Carey does not hesitate when discussing how the pair of Joanne
Courtney and Rachelle Pidherny rate among
women sweepers.
“They are considered the two best, bar
none,” said Carey.
When Courtney and Pidherny lean into
their brushes at the Scotties Tournament of
Hearts it’s like watching an intricate dance.
Their backs are almost parallel with the ice.
The pressure they manage on the brooms
could turn coal into diamonds. Powerful legs
propel down the ice.
Their grace masks the strength at work.
They communicate without speaking.
Neither woman has the massive build of
E.J. and Ryan Harnden, the barrel-chested
front end of Brad Jacobs’ Olympic bound
rink. What they do possess is near perfect
technique.
“They are really able to get into that flag
back, legs out body position we are all striving for,” said Team Canada lead Lisa Weagle.
“And they get the maximum amount of pressure on the brush.”
It takes a lot of hard work for Courtney and
Pidherny to make their job look easy.
“We put in a lot of time in the gym and the
offseason just to be physically strong enough
to maintain the proper position down the
sheet of ice,” said Courtney, a 24-year-old registered nurse.

“That, in itself, is half the battle for women.
We’re not as naturally strong as the men are.
We practice our sweeping . . . working on
our form. We’ve put a lot into it over the last
couple of years. That’s one of the reasons we
seem to be called the best lately, which is
really flattering.”
Pidherny said the little things make the big
difference.
“I’ve been working on the technique for a
long time,” said the 27-year-old teacher. “Your
footwork is most of it.
“You have to make sure you get your feet
out far enough to get your weight over top of
your broom.”
Courtney and Pidherny have attended
high-performance camps conducted by the
Canadian Curling Association where sweepers like Craig Savill, the lead on Glenn Howard’s 2012 Brier champion rink, and Marcel
Rocque, who won four world championships
with Randy Ferbey, demonstrate the proper
style and technique.
The women are videotaped and analyzed.
“They really showed us exactly what it is
supposed to look like and what has been
found to be the most effective,” said Courtney. “That’s how we get into the position. We
work really hard in the gym and on the ice to
try and maintain that as best we can.”
While style and strength is important, the
pair also have curling smarts.
“They have been developing it for a number of years,” said Sweeting. “They work so
well.
“They can judge really well. They know
where (the rock) is going. They know the
speed and all the paths. They are very on the
ball and that’s been huge for our team. Our
shot management has improved so much.
They can get rocks there that are light. They
can get rocks by guards.”
The sweeper closest to the rock usually has
the most effect on the stone’s path. Courtney
and Pidherny instinctively know who should
take that inside position. They also know
when to switch when one is tired.
“It’s taken us a couple of years to kind of get
it together,” said Pidherny. “It’s like an unspoken language between us. It just sort of flows
really nicely.
“It took a while to come about and it’s
always a work in process, but it’s definitely
working for us this year.”
Both women spend plenty of time in the
gym. Some days it’s weight training. Other
days there are long runs.
“You need to be strong enough to hold
yourself up,” said Courtney. “That’s just
straight-up lifting weights, pushups. There’s
also the cardio aspect.”
Sweetings’ rink takes a slightly different
approach when it comes to the players roles.
Pidherny plays a traditional lead. Courtney
is the second but throws third rocks. Dana
Ferguson throws second stones and holds the
broom for Sweeting.
“I am terrible in the house,” said Courtney.
“I have no idea if anyone is ever on the broom
or not.”
Sweeting said it was one of those simple
ideas that just made sense.
“Last year we were in the mix,” said the
26-year-old skip. “We knew we needed a little change.
“It wasn’t that someone was better than the
other. We needed her (Courtney) sweeping
rocks. Dana is good in the house. It has been
working really well this year.”
Having two strong sweepers helps take
some of the shot-making pressure off Sweeting.
“All I do is focus on what I need to throw,”
she said.
One of Courtney’s trademarks is the white
headband she wears.
“This has been my go-to since I was 17 or
18 years old,” she said. “I’ve got some crazy
hair and it’s really hard to figure out what to
with it, especially at these sporting event.
“It’s kind of what I have been rocking for
the last six or seven years. A lot of the girls on
tour have never seen me with my hair down.
It’s fast, it’s easy.”

Homan toujours invaincue
Après cinq jours de compétition sur les
quatre glaces de l’aréna Maurice-Richard,
le classement commence à se décider. Alors
qu’Équipe Canada de Rachel Homan n’a
toujours pas connu la défaite (7-0) et que les
trois équipes des Prairies semblent vouloir
poursuivre leur tournoi le plus longtemps
possible, l’équipe québécoise d’Allison Ross
peut dire adieu aux chances d’avancer dans
le tournoi. Avec sa défaite (15-3) contre le
Manitoba en après-midi mercredi, la troupe
d’Allison se retrouve maintenant avec une
fiche de 1-8.
Triste record
La cuisante défaite de l’équipe du Québec
face aux représentantes du Manitoba leur
vaudra une place dans le livre des records
du Tournoi des Cœurs Scotties. Le Manitoba devient la deuxième équipe, après l’Alberta en 1989, à marquer quinze points dans
Page 3
Méli-mélo du jeudi
une manche du Scotties. L’Alberta l’avait
emporté 15-6 contre les représentantes de
Terre-Neuve.
Ross garde le sourire
Présente au Salon des Cœurs pour la période des confidences, Allison Ross mentionnait qu’elle et son équipe profiteraient
amplement du reste du tournoi pour le vivre
pleinement, le tout en levant son verre et à
la blague, demandant aux partisans présents
de payer la tournée. Val Sweeting, capitaine
de l’équipe de l’Alberta qui était sur scène,
elle aussi, était prête à lui payer des doubles
consommations, tout en mentionnant que
Équipe Québec était pour être leur adversaire jeudi matin.
Nouveau format de jeu
L’Association canadienne de curling avait
annoncé des modifications au format des
qualifications à partir de cette année. Avec
l’ajout des équipes Nord-Ontario, Nunavut,
et la scission de l’équipe Yukon/ Territoires
du Nord-Ouest en deux équipes respectives. Il y aura donc une ronde de relégation avant la présentation du Scotties 2015.
Ainsi l’équipe qui terminera le tournoi de
cette année en dernière position devra, dans
les jours précédents le tournoi, affronter les
quatre équipes ci-haut mentionnées. Advenant une dernière position de la part de
l’équipe Yukon/Territoires du Nord-Ouest,
c’est seulement quatre équipes qui devront
se départager la seule place de disponible
pour le Scotties 2015.
De l’animation au Salon des Cœurs
Entre les parties, les spectateurs sont
invités à se déplacer au Centre Pierre-Charbonneau à quelques pas de l’aréna Maurice-Richard pour aller se substenter et d’assister à plusieurs activités. Au nombre des
activités, il y a toujours une séance d’auto-

Call it the mid-week doldrums. Or the
calm before the storm.
Teams are close to the end, but not quite
there. They can see the summit but a slip can
still send them tumbling.
The front-running rinks at the Scotties
Tournament of Hearts don’t want to admit it
but their thoughts might be drifting toward
the playoffs. The rinks that are struggling
know they still have a chance to play spoiler.
After smooth sailing all week Rachel
Homan’s Team Canada was almost blown
off course Wednesday by an unexpected turbulence from the West. Alberta’s Val Sweeting got bitten by an underdog.
Homan eventually righted the ship to beat
Kesa Van Osch of B.C. 7-3 and improve her

record to 7-0. Sweeting gave up deuces in
the third and fifth ends to be upset 7-5 by
Ontario’s Allison Flaxey. It was Flaxey’s second win of the tournament while Alberta
dropped to 6-3.
In other afternoon games Manitoba’s
Chelsea Carey embarrassed Allison Ross of
Quebec 15-3 while Saskatchewan’s Stefanie
Lawton defeated Heather Strong of Newfoundland 7-3.
The 15 points Manitoba scored was
the most in Scotties history since Alberta
defeated Newfoundland 15-6 in the second
draw of the 1989 tournament.
In the evening draw Carey used a lastrock double takeout to score three points
and beat New Brunswick 8-4. Saskatchewan
defeated Nova Scotia 8-6. Manitoba and
Saskatchewan both have 7-1 records.
In other evening games Ontario pounded
the Yukon 12-2 in eight ends while Team
Canada remained undefeated with a 9-4 win
over P.E.I. in nine ends.
The flu that struck earlier in the week continued to take its toll.
The Yukon was forced to play the morning
draw with just three players when skip Sarah
Koltun and alternate Lindsay Moldowan
both fell ill. Koltun returned for the evening
draw. B.C. lead Carley Sandwith didn’t play
in the morning but returned to the lineup
against Alberta. Quebec second Brittany
O’Rourke missed the entire day.
Homan’s rink seemed to be caught off
guard when the young B.C. team refused to
be intimidated. Osch kept the house clean
and tried not to let Homan dictate the game.
The teams were tied 2-2 after five ends
but Homan finally took command, scoring
two in the sixth and three in the eighth for a
nine-end win.
“They changed their strategy to keep it a
little closer,” said Team Canada third Emma
Miskew. “They were hoping if they kept it
open they could generate small points.
“Good on them to try to think something
up. We eventually realized that we should
probably throw up a couple of guards.”
Van Osch said the plan was good but her
team’s execution was flawed at times.
“That was kind of the plan going in there,
not letting them play with all those rocks,”
said the 22-year-old who spent Tuesday in
bed battling the flu. “That’s how they were
getting big ends before. We weren’t interested in letting them do that.
“We slipped a couple of times, had a couple of half shots or misses that ended up let
them get a couple of bigger ends.”
Flaxey, playing in her first Scotties, never
trailed against Alberta. She stole a point in
the sixth end, then made a takeout with her
last shot to seal the victory.
“It feels good,” said the former Manitoba
junior champion. “We haven’t been playing
as well as we could of all week. To show that
we are a good, solid team and we can play
with the favourites, it shows people why we
are here.”
While her playoff hopes are on the rocks
Flaxey likes the idea she can still have an
impact on the final standings.
“That’s all we have left so you’ve got to
love doing it,” she said. “It works for me.
“Hopefully we can at least shake things up
while we are here.”
Quebec sailed into the perfect storm
against Manitoba. Carey’s team scored three
in third end then stole four in the fourth.
Playing out the lopsided match wasn’t fun
for anyone.
“You don’t want to go through that,” said
Manitoba third, and soon mom-to-be Kristy
McDonald. “They are a better team than that
and they are struggling.
“It’s not fun for either team really.”
There was little Ross could say after falling
to 1-8.
“This was tough,” she said. “We didn’t play
well at all.”
The morning draw saw Alberta defeat
Newfoundland & Labrador 9-5, New Brunswick down P.E.I. 9-6, Nova Scotia beat the
Yukon 7-3 and B.C. edge Quebec 6-5.
With Kolton sidelined third Chelsea Duncan took over as the Yukon skip.
“We never thought it would actually come
down to two people being sick,” said the
21-year-old psychology student. “Sarah and
I have curled together for nine years. I think
it’s the first time she has been sick.
“I enjoyed it. I tried to keep things simple.
We ended up on the bad side of things. I felt I
did an OK job of it.”
B.C. alternate Patti Knezevic skipped the
team to a pair of wins Tuesday. With Van
Osch healthy again, Knezevic, who skips her
own rink in B.C., found herself playing lead
and sweeping in the win over Quebec.
“The last couple of weeks I’ve been sweeping a few games in preparation for coming
here,” she said.
“It was a total mental shift. I just tried to
jump in and focus at the task at hand.”

Marco Ferraro : Amant du curling
ERIC D’ARGENZIO
Pour Écho Des Coeurs
coise connue sous l’appellation de Curling-Québec, et à ce
nombre, on peut rajouter environ 5 000 personnes qui n’ont
pas de membership. ‘’Annuellement, on calcule de 77 000
personnes lancent au moins une pierre de curling dans un
club au Québec. Le curling profite aussi d’une très grande
présence télévisuelle, plus de cent matchs par année y sont
présenté. ‘’ À part le hockey, quel sport peut se vanter d’avoir
cette couverture ?’’ dit-il content.
Ferraro a avoué avoir été inquiet un peu pour le résultat aux guichets. ‘’ C’est le problème de toutes les grandes
villes canadiennes, dit-il. Dans les grands centres, la visibilité est étouffée. Cette semaine, nous avons le Superbowl, les
matchs du Canadien, les cérémonies d’ouverture des J.O.
et en fin de semaine, Eugénie Bouchard qui a gagné beaucoup en popularité depuis sa prestation aux Internationaux d’Australie, sera au Complexe Claude-Robillard pour la
‘’Fed Cup’’ avec l’équipe canadienne féminine de tennis. J’ai,
quand même, confiance que nous connaîtrons un succès.’’
Avant la treizième séance de mercredi soir, plus de 17 367
billets avaient été vendus.
Quand on parle curling au Québec, un nom y est associé :
Marco Ferraro. Directeur-général de Curling Québec depuis
maintenant deux ans. Il a toujours été associé à ce sport.
Diplômé en marketing de l’Université McGill, Marco Ferraro a travaillé pendant près de vingt ans dans le domaine
de la publicité et des commandites, entre autres à RDS et au
Consortium médiatique des Jeux olympiques de Vancouver.
Marco joue au curling depuis l’âge de 12 ans et toute sa vie
tourne d’une certaine façon autour du curling. En 1988, il
a eu la chance de représenté Équipe Québec, à Chicoutimi
lors de la dernière présentation d’un Brier’s en sol québécois. Deuxième de l’équipe de Lawren Steventon, ils avaient
terminé au 8e rang avec une fiche de 4-7. Par la suite, le
Réseau des Sports (RDS) voulant présenter du curling sur
ses ondes l’a approché pour être l’analyste de ses présentations. Il fut analyste à la télé pendant cinq ans. En 2010, il a
fait partie de l’équipe de Pierre Charrette au Championnat
canadien de curling senior. L’équipe a terminé au 6e rang
avec une fiche de 6-5.
À la tête de la direction générale de Curling-Québec
depuis deux ans, il fut auparavant directeur du marketing au
sein de cette fédération. ‘’Le curling a toujours été dans toujours fait partie de ma vie, tant professionnelle, personnelle
et sentimentale’’ dit-il en souriant. ‘’J’ai rencontré ma conjointe dans un club de curling.’’
Équipe Québec à Montréal ?
L’entrevue s’étant déroulée quelques jours avant le début
de la compétition, Marco Ferraro fondait de bons espoirs
sur la performance d’Allison Ross et de son équipe. ‘’ Elle ne
fait pas partie des équipes favorites pour remporter le titre
mais on ne sait jamais, tout se passe sur la glace. Elles auront
l’appui de la foule et je sais qu’elles ont travaillées fort depuis
deux ans. Elles seront secondées par un bon entraîneur.’’
Mario rajoute que malheureusement il y a encore trop
d’équipes qui ne croit pas au bienfait d’un entraîneur auprès
d’eux. Il termine en mentionnant : ‘’ Si j’ai un souhait à faire
après la présentation du Tournoi des Cœurs Scotties à Montréal, c’est que les spectateurs présents réalisent que les filles
qui sont sur la glace sont de grandes athlètes. C’est une discipline qui demande beaucoup de talent, de performance,
de stratégie et une forme physique excellente. J’espère que
la perception des gens face au curling va changer.’’
Le Scotties à Montréal ?
La présence d’un tournoi majeur comme le Scotties
peut-il apporter un nouveau souffle ou une affluence monstre dans les clubs ? ‘’Je pense que c’est une question de
mode. Avant, tout le monde jouait au hockey ou au baseball, maintenant les gens se sont mis au soccer et à d’autres
sports. Le curling n’a pas augmenté ou baissé de popularité, je dirais que nous avons une certaine stabilité.’’ Avec 70
clubs de curling répartis un peu partout au Québec, c’est
10 000 personnes qui sont affiliés à la fédération québé-

Switzerland, Sweden come out on top at Euros
HEART CHART STAFF
Switzerland and Sweden won
gold medals at the 2013 Euro urli ng
championships at Stavanger, Norway.
Sven Michel’s Swiss team from
Adelboden defeated Thomas Ulsrud of Norway 8-6 in the men’s
final. Michel had an open draw to
the rings to ensure the victory in the
10th end.
This was the first success for
Michel (skip), Claudio Pätz (third),
Benoit Schwarz (second), Simon
Gempler (lead) and Sandro Trolliet
(alternate).
In the women’s final, Margaretha Sigfridsson’s outfit doubled the
score — 10-5 — against world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland.
The Swedish team win was their
country’s 19th European women’s
title. Playing with Sigfridsson, who
skipped and threw lead rocks, were
Maria Wennerström as second,
Christina Bertrup as third and Maria
Prytz as fourth.
This team has lost the final of the
World women’s championship the
last two years.
Playing in front of a packed home
crowd, Ulsrud blanked the first end
before scoring two points in the
second end of the men’s final. But
the Swiss rebounded to score three
points in the third end.
Ulsrud drew for another two
points fourth end. Switzerland singled in the fifth end to level the score
at 4-4.
Norway blanked the next two
ends but the tactic backfired in the
eighth end when Ulsrud was heavy
with his final draw to give up a
whopping steal of three points.
Norway fought back with a nosehit by Ulsrud in the ninth end to
score two points but Michel was left
with the free draw on last rock at the
finish.
“It feels so great,” said Michel. “We
played so well and my team did such
a good job. We took a timeout before
the ninth end to talk about tactics.
Our goal was to reach the playoffs
and everything that came after was
a bonus.”
Meanwhile, Ulsrud was bemoaning earlier mistakes.
“The eighth (end) was a really bad
end for us,” he said: “We played great
all week and it’s been real fun to play
in front of our home crowd. It’s been
a good experience for us.”
Norway
020 200 002 0 — 6
Switzerland 003 010 030 1 — 8
Muirhead had a complete miss in
the first end to yield a stolen single in
the women’s final.
The Scots retaliated with one in
the second end but, in the third,
Sweden made a breakthrough when
fourth player Maria Prytz promoted
one of her own stones and knocked
out a Scottish counter to score three
points for a 4-1 lead.
Scotland blanked the fourth end
and scored score two in the fifth to
narrow the gap, then squared the
account in the sixth with a steal
when Prytz managed only half of a
double-takeout attempt.
Sweden took a go-ahead two in
the seventh end, at which point the
Scots started to run out of time on
the match clock.
The teams swapped singles in the
eighth and ninth ends before Muirhead, with her last stone played with
only 12 seconds remaining, miscued
and Sweden stole three points.
“We felt very comfortable and
really brave on the ice today, we
just kept playing our own game and
making the right decisions,” said
Sigridsson. “We really wanted to get
our play working the way we wanted
and to get everything feeling right
this time.”
“That was pretty sore,” Muirhead
admitted. “We just didn’t seem to
be as sharp as we had been earlier
and we ended up running the clock
down a bit. But give them (Swedes)
their dues, they played well. We just
weren’t good enough today and
that’s the bottom line.”
Scotland 010 021 010 0 — 5
Sweden 103 000 201 3 — 10
In the women’s bronze medal
game, Switzerland’s Mirjam Ott
dumped Lene Nielsen of Denmark
6-4
Scotland won the men’s bronze.
Skip David Murdoch didn’t require
his last stone to hang up a 10th-end
deuce for a 7-6 win over Rasmus
Stjerne of Denmark.

amazing team player, motivator, she is feisty

Worlds, and then getting to watch them on
TV. I thought that was so cool, and I wanted
to do that too. Seeing them succeed helped
influence and show me how much the sport
had to offer.
A. This fall when I lived in Rhode Island
for a semester I spent Monday mornings reading poetry to seniors living in an
Assisted Living Community. It was one of
the most rewarding experiences. You will

gallery openings, shows, fashion shows or
poetry groups, that’s where I’ll be!

Saint John, hôte du Championnat
mondial Ford de curling féminin 2014
CCA
Après 15 ans, le Championnat mondial Ford de curling
féminin est de retour à Saint John, au Nouveau-Brunswick, du 15 au 23 mars 2014.
“Saint John a accueilli un championnat du monde
couronné de succès en 1999 “, a fait remarquer Greg
Stremlaw, chef de la direction de l’ACC.
“ Nous tenons à sincèrement remercier la Fédération
mondiale de curling pour notre partenariat exceptionnel en matière d’organisation d’événements au Canada
et, naturellement, la ville de Saint John et la province du
Nouveau-Brunswick pour leurs efforts en vue de faciliter
la tenue de cet important événement dans cette collectivité riche en histoire. “
En 1995, Ford est devenu le commanditaire en titre
des Championnats mondiaux de curling, qui étaient
présentés à ce moment à titre de compétition pour les
hommes et les femmes.
Depuis 2005, les championnats masculins et féminins
se déroulent à divers endroits et le Canada accueille l’un
des deux championnats chaque année.
Ford est le commanditaire en titre lorsque l’événement est tenu au Canada et le commanditaire principal
lorsque l’événement a lieu à l’étranger.
“Ford du Canada est fier et honoré d’être le comman-
ditaire en titre du Championnat mondial Ford de curling
féminin 2014 “, a déclaré Jack Palozzolo, vice-président
du marketing de Ford du Canada.
“ Chez Ford, nous croyons au bénévolat et à l’engagement communautaire. Au nom de Ford, je tiens à
remercier la ville de Saint John et tous les bénévoles qui,
comme nous le savons, feront de cet événement un franc
succès.”
En 1999, lorsque Saint John a été l’hôte la dernière fois
des Championnats mondiaux de curling masculins et
féminins, l’Écosse a remporté la médaille d’or chez les
hommes et la Suède, chez les femmes.
Elisabet Gustafson a gagné son quatrième titre
féminin mondial, qui est le record pour le jeu mondial
féminin. Le Canada a remporté l’argent et la Suisse, le
bronze, chez les hommes et les États-Unis ont été médaillés d’argent et le Danemark, de bronze, chez les femmes.
“ Les habitants de la ville de Saint John et de la province du Nouveau-Brunswick ont organisé un événement
de premier ordre pour le monde entier en 1999 “, a signalé Kate Caithness, présidente de la Fédération mondiale de curling.
“La Fédération mondiale de curling, l’Association canadienne de curling et notre partenaire, Ford du Canada,
s’attendent à voir une foule nombreuse à cet événement
compte tenu de l’enthousiasme et de l’intérêt qui seront
suscités à propos des Jeux olympiques d’hiver tenus en
Russie, un mois seulement avant le Championnat mondial féminin. “
“Au nom de la collectivité de curling du Grand Saint
John, je tiens à remercier la Fédération mondiale de
curling conjointement avec l’ACC pour avoir choisi Saint
John à titre d’hôte du Championnat mondial Ford de
curling féminin 2014”, a déclaré le président du comité
hôte, Jeff Lacey.
“Je suis fier que notre collectivité ait été sélectionnée
en raison de notre enthousiasme, de nos installations,
de notre expérience confirmée et de notre soutien de ces
types d’événements importants.
“Le comité hôte est extrêmement excité et attend avec
impatience de produire l’événement de la plus grande
qualité et de mettre notre collectivité en montre au
monde entier en 2014.”
La ville de Saint John est située de façon centrale au
sud de la côte du Nouveau-Brunswick, au bord de la rive
nord de la magnifique baie de Fundy, à l’embouchure de
la rivière Saint-Jean.
Il s’agit de la plus grande ville de la province et la
deuxième plus grande des Provinces maritimes après
Halifax.
