Getting to know our Saskatchewan Women Curlers

1. Name – Candace J Newkirk

2. Nicknames - Kansas or Kristen will call me Oklahoma

3. Who do you curl with – (Skip to Lead) Sherrilee Orsted, myself, Stephanie Barnstable and Kristen Schlamp

4. How long have you guys curled together? Sher, Kristen and myself have curled together for 7 years, and Stephanie just joined us this year

5. Occupation – Pharmacist

6. Current Residence - Moose Jaw

7. Hometown - Midale

8. Family - My husband, Brad, 2 sons Reece and Caleb plus 2 male Yorkies-George Jones and Ozzy Osborne-alot of testosterone!

9. Tattoos? None

10. Favourite non-alcoholic drink - Coke Zero

11. Favourite alcoholic drink - Spiced Rum and Coke

12. Favourite event to curl in?  This year has definateley been the Schmirler but we love the Swift Current event-always seem to curl at least 7 to 8 games especially LOVE the 4 games a day

13. Which curler or team did you idolize growing up and why? I idolized the Sandra Schmirler team, Sandra seemed so powerful and passionate and their team was dynamic to watch.

14. Of all the curlers past and present who would be the most entertaining curler and why?  Guy Hemmings because he is entertaining and very unpredictable. I loved when he viewed a shot looking under  Gerald Shymko's legs!

15. Let’s get to know your teammates quickly by using Desperate Housewives!
Sher ( skip) is definately Gabby: She is tiny, fiesty, very persuasive  and can usually get what she wants. Sher loves to where heels and if there is ever a curling shoe with a 4 inch wedge it will be on Sher's foot!
Myself ( Susan): I am quite clumsy like Susan and I get myself in many unusual predicaments
Stephanies (Lynnette): Stephanie is a nurse so is used to taking care of lots of people. She is a thinker and likes to have all the information. Quiet but aggressive!
Kristen (Bri): Kristen is like Bri because she loves to bake and is very organized. She is always pleasant, positive and you'll always see her smiling. The only thing that wouldn't be like Bri would be her socks- she has the most colorful outgoing socks that she wears curling.
