Interesting Developments on the Cathy O Front

A Loder! (Go see our Scott coverage from 2006, though that Loder was Cherie-Ann.)
And a Howard! (Can Russ really comment fairly? Well, he's done a good job with the younger brother so I suspect so.)

In place of Wilson and Westcott, Overton-Clapham has recruited two-time Canadian junior champion Jenna Loder and Ashley Howard, the daughter of three-time world champion and TSN curling analyst Russ Howard.
Breanne Meakin -- who played third for Overton-Clapham for most of the 2010-11 season, but not at the provincials because she was representing Manitoba at the Canadian Juniors at the time -- will be back with Overton-Clapham again next winter.

Next year's Manitoba playdowns should be more, or maybe less, interesting.

UPDATE: I forgot that Jones is no longer Team Canada. Next year's Manitoba playdowns might be worth attending!

Jennifer Jones has ANOTHER new lead

That's right. After the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Jennifer Jones replaced Janet Arnott with another new lead for the upcoming Canada Cup in Kamloops, BC. I just heard about it on CurlTV (see the link in the right-hand sidebar)
