s Kenny Wu crouches to address Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee on the pier of Elk Lake, his arms and hands gesture in a language all his own. The boat he’s instructing, the lightweight women’s double, has been given a lot of attention lately,

the most of any in the country. Unfortunately, it’s more for what’s happened while the boat was out of the water. Two weeks ago the crew was Jennerich and Tracy Cameron. But injuries frustrated Cameron and led to some troubled chemistry between her and Jennerich.

Monday night’s Central Saanich council meeting saw the final adoption of the municipality’s new planned fire hall. “The building application is with staff now,” said Coun. Adam Olsen. “So I would say within 12 to 18 months we might have a new fire hall in Central Saanich.” Final adoption of the $8.6 million fire hall comes after a past review of the municipality’s fire services indicated inconsistent response times within the area. The district chose to adopt a two fire hall model in order to remedy response time in the southern half of Central Saanich, as well as to have a new, more seismically sound facility for training and an emergency operations centre. A public hearing on the proposed new fire hall was held in September 2011. Later in the fall the municipality started the tendering process and applied for a zoning permit from the Ministry of Environment. Council approved a borrowing bylaw for the project up to $8.9 million over 25 years. “The environmental [assessment] was approved and the tender has been approved,” said Olsen. “So looking forward, we’re just waiting on the administration to approve the building permits.” The new fire hall will be located at 1512 Keating X Rd. and will function as the fire department’s main hall. The old hall at 1903 Mount Newton X Rd. will remain in place. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Tri-municipal meeting tackles arts funding, business, housing Erin Cardone News staff

The three municipal councils on the Saanich Peninsula met Tuesday night to discuss regional issues affecting the area. Here’s a wrap up of what happened:

Workforce housing Robin Richardson, vice-president of operations for Scott Plastics, located west of the Pat Bay Highway, presented results of an informal survey of 14 of the biggest employers in the airport area. “For us, time is of the essence,” he said, referring to the employers. Without municipalities’ help in allowing zoning that could lead to attainable housing, these businesses may not survive. Central Saanich Coun. Cathie Ounsted said she’s struggled with a vocal minority that wants no new residents or density in that community. “Take the moral high road and you go where you need to go,” Richardson responded to applause from those in attendance. Coun. Steve Price of Sidney said councils need to “get our acts together. If we don’t, all those 14 companies will die. We can’t just be a seniors destination.”

Island View interchange Alastair Bryson, mayor of Central Saanich, said meetings in late May with Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom gave assurances there are “no plans to change the Island View intersection for the foreseeable future.” With large-scale development planned on Tsawout land, talk of changing the intersection heated up and earned opposition from some residents and farmers.

Regional arts A small group of councillors from the three

municipalities could be formed to discuss the region’s role in funding the arts. Coun. Marilyn Loveless said Sidney’s $5,000 investment in Capital Regional District Arts Development turned into $17,000 in grants for Peninsula-wide arts groups. She hopes to see North and Central Saanich councils contribute as well. North Saanich Coun. Ted Daly said councils should first consider funding Peninsula arts groups directly, rather than the regional fund. The councils agreed to weigh the Marilyn Loveless options.

Attracting, retaining businesses Helping existing Peninsula businesses stay successful was the theme of a presentation by Dallas Gislason. The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s director of business development made an “investment” pitch to the councils. Though Alastair Bryson it wasn’t handed out to the 50 or so people who attended the meeting, the chamber seeks $25,000 per year for three years from each municipality to develop a business retention and expansion program for the Peninsula. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW

Saanich opens tagging canvas You might notice graffiti tags popping up and remaining in place in Saanich over the next fiscal year. Under a mandate to cut back budgets by one per cent, the district’s public works department axed its roads division’s graffiti removal program, which is worth about $30,000. This funding paid for staff to paint over or wipe clean tags from municipal benches, walls and overpasses. Now unless the graffiti is profane, it won’t be removed. Saanich is a large, expensive municipality to run and such decisions are never easy, but allowing graffiti tags to go unchecked is one of the worst forms of inaction a local government can commit. Squiggled tags and random attempts at art painted across telephone poles, fences, bridges and other public structures is the kind of vandalism that begets vandalism. The longer graffiti stays in an area, the more the graffiti bleeds out. For many residents across the region, graffititagged streets create perceptions that the block is seedy or dangerous, and the people don’t care about their neighbourhood. For local businesses, it drives away potential customers and gives areas bad reputations. Colwood, a city with many budget woes of its own, decided to roll the dice and invested tax dollars in a bylaw officer dedicated to removing graffiti, tracking tags and gathering evidence, as well as organizing community cleanups. That city has sent a message that taggers will be tracked, fined or criminally charged. Victoria has offered its citizens an antigraffiti program that offers free cleanup kits, but largely depends on volunteers taking an interest in their community. Saanich is offering the same and hopefully residents step up to the plate when tags linger. But in the meantime, Saanich has placed itself in the position of a double-standard – homeowners are required to remove tags from their property, but the district isn’t. It also runs the risk of eventually spending more tax dollars on cleanup, as taggers realize parts of the municipality are an open canvas. What do you think?

Not only are you route, or maybe knew where they’re putting yourself at risk, you’re going, fewer rash decisions would putting other drivers around you in be made on the road.

Drivers who recklessly weave in and out of lanes, simply because they’re impatient or in a hurry, are another problem. If it’s rush hour and everybody is stuck in traffic, driving in and out of lanes won’t get you any farther than anyone else. According to ICBC, almost 60 per cent of crashes are caused by speeding and distracted drivers. Distracted driving is defined as using communicative or video equipment while operating a vehicle, as well as inattentive driving. High risk driving includes failing to yield right of way, tailgating, improper passing and speeding. Speeding seems to be one habit drivers just can’t drop. I don’t think I go a day without witnessing a driver zoom past me, whether on the highway or in a 50 km/h zone. Unless speeding up is necessary to safely pass a car, drivers shouldn’t let their impatience rule their decision making, just as drivers shouldn’t let dumb decisions, such as texting while driving, determine how safe roads are for others. Laws exist for a reason. And unless we want our next paycheque to go toward paying for a speeding ticket, or worse, a hospital bill, it’s important to re-evaluate our driving habits and make an effort to drive safely.

LETTERS Local abattoir good for environment, food sustainability Why am I not really surprised? Your front page article June 8 regarding a local poultry farmer didn’t get any comments on the letters page coming to the farmer’s defence. Oh yes, we all want the 50 mile diet and also to reduce our carbon footprint, but we can not stand up for someone providing us with the poultry sold in our area. Is Kildonan Farm not in the agricultural area of North Saanich? The Saanich Peninsula was once all agricultural. We used to see cattle on most of the fields and people raised hogs and poultry. Do you see many now? With all the abattoirs up Island it puts a lot more cost on our product with the price of fuel and time for the transport up and back to these places, not to mention the stress of travelling for the animals. Oh well, we can always go buy New Zealand beef that is advertised by a local grocery store and our vegetables from China, Mexico or Chile that don’t have the same regulations as Canada on pesticides or chemicals on food. Jean Kennedy Central Saanich

Sidney council didn’t do proper job of listening to residents The decision of the town council of Sidney to turn a deaf ear to what Mr. Pettinger (Letters, June 15) claims is “the opposition of over 90 per cent of affected property owners” defies understanding and smacks of irresponsible leadership. This is particularly the case, given Mayor Larry Cross’ previous statements in the press and elsewhere that council would be favourably disposed to make changes to remedy hardships faced by property owners affected by the bylaw. If, as Coun. Tim Chad asserts, the harm being done is also because of significant “unintended consequences,” then it is council’s responsibility to correct it now, not later. Instead, Mayor Cross, in your June 15 edition defends himself and council by saying that passing the bylaw as it stands is the right decision and the problem merely rests with “the misunderstandings and misinformation people are operating on.” To then require the residents of up to 60 or more homes, now evidently jeopardized by bylaw 2015, to come forward yet again and, in addition, put up $1,900 each, would be ludicrous if it were not so outrageous. That would require residents to potentially pay more than $114,000 to correct the error of council’s decision. The right thing to do would have been, as Coun. Chad did, to vote against the bylaw as it stood and additionally suggest an amendment or exception as the owners rightly requested in two separate council meetings. If that requires more open houses and public hearings, as the mayor laments, then so be it. Clearly, as Coun. Chad noted, the public was not properly informed about this bylaw and its impact on the most affected residents. Council bears that responsibility, not those harmed by council’s decision. To blame the residents for this “misunderstanding,” especially those most egregiously affected by this process, and to add to their misery by making them do and pay more is not only not right, it is morally reprehensible. Bob Carey Sidney

No population growth in North Saanich? That’s not the case Re: Previous NS tax hikes unsustainable (Letters, June 6) A major flaw in Coun. Dunstan Browne’s reasoning, in his recent letter unjustly criticizing

the fiscal performance of the previous council, is that it is based on his assertion that North Saanich is a “dormitory suburb without any growth.” Contrary to that view, North Saanich is a vibrant agricultural, rural/residential community and regional transportation hub that has experienced steady residential and commercial growth, even during a time of global economic downturn. As to residential growth, according to the recent 2011 Census data, North Saanich at 2.5 per cent experienced the highest percentage of population growth on the Peninsula, compared to Sidney (-1.2 per cent), Central Saanich (1.2 oer cent) and Saanich (1.4 per cent). The value of building permits from 2008-11 was $106.4 million, not including the millions of dollars in construction on airport lands. There have been steady and increasing numbers of business licences. This growth, within our existing district land use framework, has resulted in an expansion of our tax base and increased budget revenues. As in previous years the municipality had increased expenditure pressures this year. Due in part to our increased revenue stream as well as budget cuts, council met those demands and also held down taxes. In his simplistic focus on expenditures, Coun. Browne ignores the revenue side of the ledger and presents a one-sided picture. When the previous council took office in November 2008, tax increases had been running at eight to 10 per cent annually. That council committed to and achieved implementation of budgetary controls and structures for proper long-term fiscal planning. Any fair assessment would recognize that the previous council established the solid fiscal platform from which the district benefits today, while protecting and enhancing municipal services. Coun. Browne’s comments represent an unfounded and unwarranted attack on the competence and character of the previous council. Alice Finall Mayor, North Saanich

More wild assertions about environment follow previous claims Re: From CO2 to melting ice caps – it’s all good (Letters, June 13) Mentioning that CO2 emissions today will help crops and ocean beauty tomorrow is absurd. What about: Once the earth heats, we see increased volcanic activity, lack of fresh water, earthquakes during the glacial unloading, changes in ocean circulations, ocean acidification, global deoxygenation of the oceans, sea level rise (0.5 to two metres), fire, drought, pest infestation, invasion of species, storms, coral bleaching, disruptions in the biogeochemical cycles, and last but not least, the loss of unique cultures like those on Atolls in the South Pacific … Should we champion climate change as a hero, or protect ourselves from its maleficence? Noel Gagnon Sidney

At least, we hope those claims were satirical Re: From CO2 to melting ice caps – it’s all good (Letters, June 13) I expect this letter to the editor was meant to be a satirical response to a previous letter espousing some nonsense about more CO2 in our atmosphere being a good thing for plant growth. However, if it was not satire then the contributor obviously has no idea of the disastrous consequences to life on earth if the ice caps melted and the oceans’ salinity was reduced. T.V. Gogol North Saanich

Buried ancestors disrespected: Jacks But Tseycum band is working “Our goal is to to protect seaside burial site protect the beach

Harry Michael Tobin

because in turn, it will protect our grave site.�

Erin Cardone News staff

September 19, 1912-June 13, 2012

In his 100th year of life, Harry is survived by his loving family, daughters Heather (Richard) Cooper and Susan (David) Perry, his son Terrence (Holly Jones) Tobin, Joan Tobin, daughter in law, grandchildren Michael Perry and Erin Cummins, great-grandchildren Alexis and Kaitlyn, his sister Edith Browning, his devoted niece Eileen Murphy and many other loving nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his wife Gloria (1991) and his son Brian Michael (2007). Harry was born in Stoppington, Alberta, the seventh of nine children. He spent his pre WWII years as a teacher/ principal in rural Alberta. He was a veteran of the Burma campaign serving as a ight navigator in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Post war, he worked as an Immigration OfďŹ cer for the Port of Sidney, B.C. , spent 6 years with the Canadian Consulate in Chicago Illinois, then returned as Immigration OfďŹ cer in Charge of the Victoria airport and Sidney port. Harry was dedicated to community service. He was on the ďŹ rst Sidney town council, on the Water Board, The School Board and was an active Rotarian, Knight of Columbus, Legion member and a member of Probus. In 2002 he was presented with the “Lifetime Service Awardâ€? by the Lt. Governor. Harry was an avid golfer, playing the courses until the age of 93, winning many seniors trophies. He loved ďŹ shing and gardening. He never failed to have a story to tell and entertained with his Irish wit. Family was always ďŹ rst for Harry. He was a friend to many, and will be missed by all he knew, especially Jock, Jack, Barbara and Gord. Many thanks to his ‘family’ at the Lodge at Broadmead and Dr. Wray as well as Beacon Services and Dr. Haughton for their kind and devoted care. A memorial service will be held in Harry’s honour at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, 10030 Third Street in Sidney on Monday June 25, at 1:00 pm. In lieu of owers donation may be made to the Broadmead Care Society or the Sidney Rotary Club.

The anger Vern Jacks feels is that of his ancestors when he recalls the heavy trucks parked on their grave site. “I feel sad about what has happened,� he said. Earlier this month, the former Tseycum chief looked out from his home on West Saanich Road to see machinery parked on a patch of gravel next to the fenced off area where a ceremony was held to honour the dead buried there. “I said, ‘You’re on top of our grave yard.’ They’re showing disrespect. [But] it fell on deaf ears.� The truck was parked next to West Saanich Road for four or five days as staff from Tseycum First Nation completed phase one of a project to restore the eroded shore of Patricia Bay. “The culverts that are there now are collapsing,� explained Joe Bill, a Tseycum councillor. Work on the shore has been underway for about a year. Eight years ago, the seawall was built up when bones from the same burial site became

Veterans are being acknowledged this month as Legion Week kicks off Sunday. The celebration goes until June 31 and is observed Canada wide, but locally Saanich Peninsula Branch 37 will be honouring local veterans with a veterans lunch on Wednesday, June 27 at

Restoration of the beach at Patricia Bay has environmental and cultural goals. The plan is to re-establish the natural habitat of some forage fish, plus shellfish such as mussels, oysters and clams. Erosion of the shore began in the mid 1950s when West Saanich Road was paved.

exposed. Erosion worsened then, prompting the new round of restoration. “Our goal is to protect the beach because in turn, it will protect our grave site,� said Tseycum chief Tanya Jones. “We have to make this sacrifice now.� The Tseycum council acknowledges the gravel patch sits over the burial site of their ancestors. The First Nation has plans to fence the area when restoration is complete. Jacks hopes this is the case. “That is a grave site. We’ve got to put a fence around it.� editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

1 p.m. The Saanich Peninsula branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is a driving force in the community, says branch 37 executive member Sandra Hood. “[The legion] is very active in the community and we endeavour to help many groups including veterans, seniors, and youth,� said Hood.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:

Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes

I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. No need to make claims.

Midget baseballers nearly perfect The Peninsula #1 midget AA baseball team hit a golden streak this year. The crew of boys went 20-1 through the year have so far scored a 5-0 record in playoffs, including a dominating 10-0 victory over Triangle Mountain, with the game called after the fifth end on Monday. “I’ve never seen a team gel like this in the past,” said Janice McEachern, a parent on the team. Their final game hasn’t been set yet. Check peninsulanewsreview.com for details.

Four track and fielders off to B.C. Summer Games The Garriock Track and Field Meet in Duncan proved the one that gave four athletes from the Pen Track Club the thing they had been working hard for all season – a place on the zone 6 team going to the B.C. Summer Games in August. Kaelen Smith, 15, won the 100m hurdles event and came second in the high jump, clearing 1.55m and placing him on the team in both events. Michael Giles, who was second to Smith in hurdles, landed on the team in that event, while Jacqueline Gaby finds herself in the 1500m race walk and 1500m steeplechase at the Games. Joining her in the 1500m steeplechase is Amelia Casciola.

Wildcats roar into finals All three divisions of the Peninsula Wildcats won their semifinal games last weekend and will play in the finals at Bear Mountain Stadium. The Wildcats’ pre-atom team (ages eight to 10) coached by Shaun Waters won 30-0 against the opposing Westshore Warriors. The atom team (ages

11 and 12) coached by Al Naylor battled from the beginning and managed a close win at 14-6 against the Gordon Head Raiders. Finally, the peewee team (ages 13 and 14) coached by Lowell MacDonald managed an even closer win against the Sooke Seahawks 22-20.

Powerhouse short filmmakers screen at Cannes Project earns the attention of the National Screen Institute Natalie North News staff

Love demands sacrifice. The central theme of local filmmakers Jeremy Lutter and Daniel Hogg’s latest film, Floodplain, could also be applied to the difficult process of shooting it. The coming-of-age tale follows Vic and Duncan as the young couple fulfills their childhood promise to raft across a floodplain in

Invermere, B.C. It’s a story that both director Lutter and writerproducer Hogg identify with, but it’s also one that requires a certain degree of sacrifice when it comes to filming almost entirely on an isolated marsh outside of Maple Ridge. “The nature of the project is inherently challenging with these actors out on the water ‌ We need boats and water safety people and locations that we’re looking at all have location fees attached,â€? said Hogg, who adapted the script from a short story by D.W. Wilson, a University of Victoria writing department grad and winner of the BBC National Short Story Award. “I also think it’s a beautiful story,

the additional costs associated with filming safely on the water. For this they set a fundraising goal of $3,500 on crowd-funding site idiegogo.com, where supporters can track the progress of the film and receive perks, such as original storyboards, for donating to the creative campaign. Based on the success of Lutter’s last film, donors can expect their cash will be put to good use. Lutter raised $6,000 through indiegogo.com last year for an animatronic robot for Joanna Makes a Friend. That film, story-edited by Hogg, won a viewers’ choice award

at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year and went on to screen at the Cannes International Film Festival last month in France. “I couldn’t believe [the film won in Toronto], and then something even better happened,� Lutter said of the Cannes screening. “It’s pretty much the most ridiculous thing ever.� The two have collaborated on more than 20 films since they met as UVic students at the Victoria Film Producers’ Association launch party in 1999. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Acting, dancing and singing will take over the Mary Winspear Centre this summer as Mountain Dream Productions offers camps for students who are looking to expand their artistic horizons. One Week and Two Weeks to Stardom are the two summer camps being offered by company artistic director and choreographer Margaret Watt, who has been teaching and mentoring students for over 20 years. Watt and her husband Claude have been instrumental in bringing musical theatre productions to Greater Victoria and the Peninsula. Mary Winspear Centre theatre manager Phillip Sutton said the two summer camps will give stu-

dents the opportunity to work towards performing a full length production at the end of camp. “Being in a summer program keeps kids not only active, but also helps them to continue their learning during the long school break. The practice of memorizing scripts and the repetition of learning a theatrical production helps retain skills that they use during the school year,” said Sutton. “Teaching a student how to act is one thing, but fostering a confidence in them that will carry them throughout their life is quite another.” Sutton said the return of many of Watts’ students year after year is a testament to the experience she offers them. This year, the camps will also have a new partner as the Kumon learning method signs

Abattoir heat pits councillor versus staff Community BBQ North Saanich Coun. Ted Daly critical of issuing building permit for slaughterhouse Erin Cardone News staff

Tempers flared Monday when the proposed North Saanich slaughterhouse came back to North Saanich council. “I’ve been in municipal politics for 19 years,� said Coun. Ted Daly, who criticized staff for issuing building permits on the property in question. “It’s not my style. But frankly I don’t think staff is being proactive, I don’t think the mayor is being proactive.� Mayor Alice Finall called for order twice during discussions. “I was disturbed by the comments attacking staff.

Devon MacKenzie News staff

Thrifty Foods, Slegg Lumber, the Town of Sidney and 100.3 the Q are banding together on June 30 to raise funds for the Sidney Lions Food Bank. The funds will be collected by way of the annual Sidney Community BBQ which is taking place from 4 to 6 p.m. at Beacon Park. “It’s going be a great event,� said Beverly Elder, food bank administrator. “Every year it’s just a beautiful day no matter what the weather.� Elder says the food bank needs donations all year round, but particularly in the summer which is one of their slowest times of year. “This is always a slower time of year for donations both cash donations and food donations so this event is important for us,� Elder said. All proceeds from food sales will be donated to the food bank. The Sidney Lions will also have their van on site at the event from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. to collect canned food and other non-perishables. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Crew turbulence in Obee’s favour Travis Paterson News staff

Continued from page A1

“Cameron is a highly respected athlete,” said Wu, whose joyful enthusiasm is helping spur Obee and Jennerich along. “I don’t know how to say it, we have to focus on continuing to improve the boat.” Now with six weeks until the London Olympics, Wu and the doubles crew of Jennerich, 29, and Obee, 20, are eager to move past the distractions that have unfolded since Cameron’s resignation. The 37-year-old Cameron, of Nova Scotia, was the incumbent in the Canada’s lightweight double. She won bronze at the Beijing Games with Melanie Kok and most recently, gold with Jennerich at the 2011 Rowing World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland. But last summer Cameron suffered a rib injury. Obee, a recent Stelly’s grad, stepped up to replace Cameron as a 19-year-old at the September 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia. There, Obee and Jennerich won silver and qualified the boat for the London Games.

Except for one month, Jennerich and Obee have trained together since then. They won’t be officially named as the doubles crew until Thursday, June 28 when Rowing Canada releases its Olympic roster. But they’re training like it, with race-level sprints across Elk Lake every morning. “There’s no manual for this,” Jennerich said. “[Cameron’s decision] is really surprising, not something you would expect this close to the Olympics. I just hope down the road she has no regrets.” Cameron initially returned

to training in January, and though she was confined to the single until she could get back up to speed, she worked hard. By April, with the Olympics approaching, Rowing Canada wanted to have its Olympic candidates finalized for the world cup event in Lucerne. Jennerich was pre-selected to the boat, which led to a oneoff race in the singles between Cameron and Obee. Cameron won, and returned to training in the double with Jennerich. It looked like Obee’s Olympic dream would have to wait.

In April and into May, Cameron and Jennerich prepared to defend their gold medal at Lucerne. The race did not go well, and the boat finished eighth. Cameron, Jennerich and Rowing Canada were disappointed. Even so, Cameron’s resignation came as a surprise. But Peter Cookson, the high performance director for Rowing Canada, has since confirmed a fallout between the teammates. “The chemistry was never the same as last year,” Jennerich said. sports@vicnews.com
