IHAMURGER BUNS aonJ By Mike Kowalski Security guards are maintain- ing a close watch on the Famiiy Kartway amusement centre. But why the popular Whitby touriet attraction is being kept under surveillance is a mystery. Neither tho security firm, the company which hired them, nor the park's owner are talking. For the past few weeks, secunity guards have been stationed on a regular basis across the road fromn the 33-acre park on Highway 12. Last Thursday, the guard on duty admitted h e was there te observe proceedings at the park but would net elaborate. Instead, he referred The Free Press te, hie employer, Intelli- g arde International Inc. of oromnte. An Intelligarde officiai would net comment and directed The Free Press-to M. Wilson & Ce. Auctioneers & ILiuidators. But comphny poeman Har- vey Greber said hne was «net at liberty" te discues the miatter. Greber refused te indicate whether the guards wmere posted as aresuit of.the ongoing finan- cial dispute between park owner Gary 1Sorichetti and Nationai Trust.

He would not comment further, except te saly that the matter 19 flow the subject/'of legal proceedings. Sorichetti did not return a telephone cali from The Free Press to discuss the security guard situation. National Trust officiai Lindsay Morrison could not comment for iack of information. 'The person who knows the details is away from the office today (Monday)," said Morrison. Earlier this year National Trust took stops te , redýose on the,park's mortgage. Gates were padlocked and a security guard was posted inside the fonce. But set month, Sorichetti clai- med ail issues, which led the trust cornpany te foreclose had been settled and the park was back in business. Reduicing and .Y1 recycling wil[ make A. last longer.
