Police think the act may have been committed by a tall juvenile. current budget does not allow for opening on holidays," said Mr. Fanning in his report. The facilities m question include the Newcastle Fitness Centre, the Bowmanville Arena and the Darlington Sports Centre. The general purpose committee decided; to seek further information on the cost of opening the arenas and pool on just some of the annual public holidays. Easter Monday, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Civic Holiday, Remembrance Day, and Boxing Day were each suggested as possible times when the arenas should be left in operation, along with the pool. Councillor Diane Hamre described these occasions as times when Newcastle is most likely to have a high demand for recreational facilities. "Those are the days when you're more inclined to have people using the facilities," said Councillor Hamre. She added that residents of the Town of Newcastle particularly the young -- need to have somewhere to go for recreation at these times. "Our biggest problem is to get a handle on what the expected revenue will be," observed Councillor Bruce Taylor. Mr. Fanning, in his estimated operating costs, noted that it would require $12,625 to operate! all facilities during all holidays. However, revenue was estimated at $8,674 at most.' ' I This left a deficit of $3,952.35 which would be required from the municipality. Councillors were advised that revenue depends on the number of people who would use facilities over the holidays. "Through past experience, it has been evident that the use of facilities during holidays has been minimal," said Mr. Fanning. The report of the director was received for information, with instructions for staff to prepare estimates for operating recreational facilities on the holidays suggested by councillors. A study of holiday opening policies in other municipalities was also requested by the general purpose committee. 1* assa SIDEWALK SALE -- Another big sidewalk sale is coming up in Bowmanville this weekend, with a special early bargain hunters event on Saturday morning.
