I'd like to see the names of the 'certain muncipal officials' in print too. They are ultimately more guilty than Haarburger because they control the access to corruption. There is a very large two level incomplete building on the said site. Arniston was named for the Arniston wreck. Perhaps we call it Haarberger after the 'Haarberger Wreck'. Jacky
