Regular readers of this column will know that 1 have been opposed to this dreamland since it was first proposed a couple of years ago. Already, I hear that an additional 50 acres of land across the road from this ar- tificial playground has been bought for a motel complex. Another farm gone. Another area no longer available to farmers. The original 370 acres of land was enough. In fact, it was too much. Probably another few hundred will disappear under ticky-tacky hot dog stands, fast food out- lets and, ancillary buildings to service this park. You have probably seen some of the advertisements, "We've adopted a high - efficiency approach," said MacKenzie. "The mill will produce only bulk products - no bag feeds. Product handling and processing will be carried out by the latest, energy-efficient feed in- dustry computer technology. To our knowledge this will be the most sophisticated livestock poultry feed mill in Ontario. Customized computer programs will control every aspect of the operation with precision: for example - feed additives will be con- trolled within an accuracy of 1 i 100th of a pound. As a consequence, the finished feeds will incorporate the highest possible quality control benefits.

Nobody, at that time, spoke for green growing things. They were - and I suppose they may have had an obscure reason for doing so - talking about jobs. They were more interested in jobs than saving prime farm land. But look at what is hap - ping to this theme park which has a false mountain made of concrete, chicken wire and steel. The owners have spent $122 million, ;50 million in Yankee money and the balance from four major Canadian insurance companies including Great West Life and the Toronto- Dominon Bank. Yet, the yanks will retain 75 per cent of the park. Something sounds a little screwy there, what?

When all the fooferaw and the objections died when the park was finally approved, it was supposed to create a lot of jobs. That was one of the reasons it was allowed to happen. How many jobs?
