Sice'Bd'Fanning Came Here, 15 Years Ago, There Hav e Been Great Changes Director of Community Services, T.A. "Bud" Fanning marks bis l5th anniversary this June as the toWn's recreation director. By Donna Fairey Compared to when T.A. "Bud'" Fanning first took over the reins of Bowmanville's recreation department in 1964, co-rdinating leisure time activity today for the Town of Newcastle's 32,000 residents is a horse of a different color. Mr. Fanning celebrated is 15 year anniversary this June as the town's director of recrea- tion. The Town of Newcastle's. recreation department is now referred to as Department of Community Services and enmiploys 14 ful-time pesonnel under the direction of Mr. Faànning. The office is located in the Bell building. SMr. Fanning's second-mn- copimand is Deputy Drector Joe Caruana. Bowmanville native, Joe Kennett is Proeram Director and the department's office "Girl- Fniday" is Sue Davey. Parks ind cemetery foreman is Nick Van Seggelen and he bas a support staff of two. Facilities manager for the Darllngton Sports Centre and Bowman- ville Arena is Fred Payne. In addition to Mr. Payne, the two arenas require seven refrigeration operators who also spend time wrking in the parks during the summer montbs. Some of the town's recrea- tional programs are getting beyond the facilities to accom- modate them. said Mr. Fanning. For example, lobb bail leagues have expanded greatly and interest in soccer bas come on so strong that steps will soon -have to be taken to keep pace, he sdid. Mr. Fanning stated that township ball diamonds will have to be upgraded and provision will have to be made for adequate soccer pitches. téPeople are far more demanding than they used to, be," said Mr. Fanning. "They move to town from tbe city and want the same facilities to which they -were accustom- ed," he said. A general upswing in people's attitude toward- physical fitness bas had a definite bearing on recreation- ai participation. The town's program is far more diversi- m fied than it was 10 years ago and continues to grow witbin its budget limitations. The Town of Newcastle allocates the Department of Community Services a yearly operating budget of $765,000. In addition, Mr. Fanning and bis department must raise $305,500 in revenue to balance their budget. This budget may seem like a hefty financial outlay for the town's recreational activitv but according to Mr. Fanning bis budget bas been cut back from ast year and compared to surrounding municipalities, it is not a big budget. Residents of the 225 square miles which constitutes the Town of Newcastle want Li good recreation program and it takes money to provide it. . Included in the Department of Community Services expenses are, three public swimming pools, two arenas, Orono park, programs in hockey, ball, bowling, skating, tap dancing, baton, swimming lessons, gymnastics, soccer, etc. Also, in 1977-councfi appoint- CANOE RACES Mens open Womens open Under 18 yrs.

Mr. Fanning re- ports his department.will soon be taking over the, general mainteanance of the Town Hall, Bell building and the fire and police building. The recreation director views Fine Ridge School as an ideal facility to be transform- ed into a magnificent sport and municipal complex. As a resuit of the scbool's closure this September, recreation department swimming lessons this winter could be up in the air instead of in the water. For a number of years, the department has utilized the indoor pool at Fine Ridge School for recreation swimming lessons. The department's summer programn is in full swing and soccer is one of the biggest attractions. According to Mr. Fanning, the European sport of soccer has really caught on in this area. There are 240 boys ranging in age from six to 14 playing bouse league soccer. To demonstrate its growing popularity, soccer was introduced to the town's recreation program in 1972 with an original registration of 32 boys. Mr. Fanning attributes part of soccer's popularity to the fact there is littie standing around as in basebaîl or some of the other sports. Soccer. players are always on the move, he said. The recreation director praised the introduction of T-Bahl a few years ago for cbildren under the age of five, They corne to us now, he said, and we hardly have to teach them a thing about baîl. One of the latest additions to the department's program is roller skating. One may now lace up and roller skate Monday and Wednesday even- ings at the Darlington Sports Centre. Like ahl new programs, it takes a while to get off the ground but Mr. Fanning is encouraged by the growing, response. Future plans for the Darlington Sports Centre will include regular rock concerts, danc- ing and possibhy skate- boarding. When elementary school is out, playgrounds will be in. The Department of Communi- ty Services co-ordinates 25 summer playgrounds in the Town of Newcastle with a total staff of thirty. Three of the town's parks will hold a little more appeal as of June 3th, when their public pooîs are scheduled to open. The Town of Newcastle's Department of Community Services offers something for everyone in the way of recreation. "It's a big opera- tion and -I attribute, its successes to a good staff," said Mr. Fanning. BOWMAN VILLE JAYCEES INO.
