Darn, you beat me to the Times Beach story. I can't for the life of me remember the guy's name that spread the oil. He was from the Cuba/Rosati area, owns a classic car/truck place along I-44. Mainly wrong place, wrong time for him - he and his dad had been doing it for years. After all the hoopla, he kind of faded into the sunset. Gave the state a reason to take over the little burg of Times Beach. They set up an incinerator and dug out about a tenth of the top foot of dirt (were supposed to go down 2-4 feet) and "burned" the bad stuff out of it. Then they put it back and planted cheat and weeds on it. Strangest thing - about 10-12 years after the buyout, the govt. decided that a mistake had been made; the Dioxin was actually harmless, but a precident had already been set. Luckily, the state found the time and tax money to make Times Beach a state park for all the yuppies to ride their bikes and rented horses in. Makes me happy to be a self-employed taxpayer. Just remembered his name - Russell Bliss. Now, if I can remember my own name... Dale(MO)
