Sybil Andrews Cottage Restoration. In 2008, the Sybil Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cottage and land was the ďŹ rst property to be placed on the City of Campbell River Community Heritage Register. Sybil Andrews (1898-1992) was a gifted, internationally renowned artist, famous for the linocuts she produced from the late 1920s through 1988. Sybil Andrews and her husband Walter Morgan, lived in the cottage for 45 years.

Good Timber – Songs & Stories of the Western Logger Good Timber is a musical revue marrying music, poetry, and video imagery - part music concert and part history lesson. The poetry written by Robert Swanson and others, set to music, leads us to discover what it must have been like to be a logger in the early to mid-20th century. It was a time when logging was undergoing many changes, chainsaws were replacing handsaws; diesel-powered engines replaced steam. The traditional logger lifestyle was becoming extinct. You’ll hear tales of chokermen, punks, apes and cat skinners as well as hardworking locomotives, chewing tobacco, card-hustling women and frozen loggers. July 5th – 9th, 2011 at the Tidemark Theatre

Fun & Educational Daycamp 7-10yrs This program has been introduced to teach children the necessary self-rescue skills in and around water. This program is offered at an affordable rate and is available to children aged 7-10 years old. Enjoy your summer vacation with us. Don’t forget to bring a lunch, lots of towels and a change of clothes you can swim in (including shoes). Each day includes a swim lesson, survival training, cool aquatics activities and much, much more. Participants must be able to swim at least 25 meters (1 length of the pool). The facts may surprise you: ➲ Most drownings occur only 3 to 15 metres away from shore or a point of safety - lean to swim and reduce the risk. ➲ Two-thirds of drowning victims had no intention of entering the water and died as result of unplanned immersion. They did not have the necessary self-rescue skills to survive the incident. Learn essential self-rescue skills: ➲ Learn how to get oriented after an unexpected entry. During a fall into water, learn to get your head above the water and avoid breathing it in. ➲ Learn how to support yourself at the surface. ➲ Swim to safety – learning to swim a standard distance of 50 metres could prevent a water-related incident and save your life.

16yrs+ Dodgeball is a fun sport that can be played by people of all ages and abilities. It is growing in popularity with adults at high schools, colleges and community centres across the province. The Comox Valley already has 2 leagues with several divisions. For those of you that have never played - the main objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by a member of the opposing team, or forcing them to move outside the court boundaries when a ball is thrown at them. Please read a summary of the rules for more information. If you are looking for something fun and unique to do this summer—register as either an individual or get your friends together and register as a team for the Summer Dodgeball League. Dates: July 12 - Aug. 18, 2011 (6 nights of fun) Times: Tuesdays 6:00-7:00pm and/or Thursdays 7:00-8:00pm Cost: $35.00 per individual $250.00 per team

DODGEBALL RULES: THE TEAM Teams will be made up of 6-10 players. Six (6) players will compete on a side; others will be available as substitutes. Substitutes may enter the game only during timeouts or in the case of injury. THE FIELD The game may be played indoors or outdoors. The playing field shall be a rectangle at least 50 ft long and at least 30 ft wide, divided into two (2) equal sections by a centerline. The ideal measurements are: 60’ x 30’ – Identical to a volleyball court. We will be using arena #1. THE EQUIPMENT The official ball used in tournament and league play will be an 8.25" rubber-coated foam ball. THE GAME The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by: 1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders. 2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground. Definition "LIVE": A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)

BOUNDARIES During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave the boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also return through their end-line. TIMING AND WINNING A GAME The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 3-minute time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 3 minutes, the team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared the winner. RULE ENFORCEMENT During pool play or regular-season matches, rules will be enforced primarily by the "honor system"*. Players will be expected to rule whether or not a hit was legal or whether they were legally eliminated. Code of Conduct 1. Understand, appreciate and abide by the rules of the game. 2. Respect the integrity and judgment of game officials and SGRD staff. 3. Respect your opponent and congratulate them in a courteous manner following each match whether in victory or defeat. 4. Be responsible for your actions and maintain selfcontrol. 5. Do not taunt or bait opponents and refrain from using foul or abusive language. and flexibility exercises to assist with
