Times Beach may break Superfund
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The government said yesterday it would buy the homes of 10 families in two dioxin-contaminated Missouri sites, but probabilistically that could be buy-out and cleanup that could break the $1.6 billion EPA Sunsurfend
Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., said yesterday fears were expressed during a two-hour closed meeting with government officials that the Environmental Protection Agency may not have enough money in the Superfund to clean up the highly toxic chemicals spread through Times Beach.
The federal government already has pledged more than $33 million to buy the 980 homes in Times Beach, near St. Petersburg, FL. It would cost many times that amount.
"THE COST OF CLEANUP may be so great it may come near to breaking the Superfund," Gephardt said. "We may need a special piece of legislation to come up with enough money for the Times Beach and other sites."
Although there have been no estimates on the cost of decontaminating Times Beach government officials said it could cost between $6 million and clean up to clean up two Imperial, Mo. slaves.
The estimate is based on five clean-up options ranging from containing contaminated soil in a cement mix to moving massive amounts of dirt elsewhere.
EPA Superfund head Bill Hedeman announced those two sites — involving the 10 homes — would be bought by the government.
A study prepared for the EPA, a copy of which was obtained by United Press International, estimated costs of relocating families at the two sites in Imperial to range between $600,000 and $2 million.
THAT STUDY SAID AS many as 17 residences in a 250-foot radius from the contaminated soil could be involved, the university instrument has discussed buying only 10.
Officials said only minor problems remained to be resolved before a contract is issued for buy-outs of the 10 Imperial homes.
and one resident, Harold Minker, packed up and left yesterday before the buy-out announcement because of the harassment his family has received.
Other residents said they were anxious to sell but would not believe the buy-out until they saw the government checks.
All but three families have already moved away from the Imperial sites.
DIOXIN, MINUTE AMOUNTS of which have been known to cause cancer in laboratory animals, was spread in several areas of Missouri in the 1970s when sprayed on horse arenas and roads for dust control.
Government officials said a major issue blocking the Times Beach buyout and cleanup was who would assume future liability for contamination and who would provide municipal services to residents who remain in Times Beach during the 12 to 18 months of the government purchases.
Federal officials say they are prohibited by law from taking title to the town, but a bill passed by the Missouri Legislature last month to appropriate funds for dioxin cleanup forbids the state from taking title unless all Times Beach residents agree to sell out to the government.
KU graduate recalls lifetime of making, collecting puppets
By AMY CRAIG Staff Reporter
The puppets packed away in Spooner Hall may not be as life-like as Giapetto's Pinocchio, but they are close.
Piglet and Winnie the Pooh, Sona Claus, Peter Pan, the entire cast of The Beverly Hillbillies and, of course, Edgar Bergen's friend Charlie McCarthy are among the more than 150 puppets that were donated to the University of Kansas in 1975 by alumna Hazelle Rolls, Kansas City, Mo.
Rollins donated the puppets after she retired in 1975 and sold her puppet-manufacturing company, Hazelle Inc.
BUT THE PUPPETS were only a part of Rolls' entire collection, which comprised more than 1,000 puppets and played four years ago at more than $100.000.
She has donated puppets to the Smithsonian Institution and the Kansas City Museum and is completing plans to donate some to the University of California at Los Angeles. She still has about half of her collection.
Rollins said that she planned to give her puppies away when she began education.
"I always had it in mind to share them with people," Rolls said. "I wanted to have my own museum in the Kansas City area. But after working with the city, I could see it wasn't possible, so I decided it was better to give my puppets away to existing museums.
"It's hard to give them up, because one tells its own story. They're not really sure what they're doing."
PUPPETS WERE MORE than a hobby for Rollins and her husband, J. Woodson Rollins — they were their livelihood.
going to be alive forever, so it's nice to share them through the years."
Rollins began her career in puppets after she graduated from the School of Art.
"When I graduated it was during the Depression," she said. "I had this degree in fine arts and of course I couldn't find a job."
"A little neighbor boy had some puppets from Italy and said he wanted some more so he could give puppet shows. I saw how I could make puppets better than the ones he had and made him some. Pretty soon he was the most popular child in the neighborhood and all the children were wanting puppets."
But her interest in puppets extended beyond making, selling and collecting them. She taught puppetry classes for children at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City, Mo., when it opened in 1933.
SHE ALSO WENT TO New York as a student of pupet king Tony Sarg and performed with the Tony Sarg pupet troupe. Rollins said she returned to Kansas City to make puppets because she decided she liked using puppets to educate children more than she liked performing professionally.
Her puppet business flourished as she began making more puppets, working out of the recreation room of her parents' home and paying people 15 cents an hour to help her produce puppets, she said.
She then started selling her puppets in a neighborhood store, then in
downtown Kansas City stores, then nationally and finally internationally
"By 1937, I was selling more puppets in Johannesburg, South Africa, than in Kansas City, Mo," Rollins said.
HAZELLE INC. ENTERED FOREIGN markets in 1936 and sold one-fourth of its annual production of 250,000 puppets overseas. The company produced a line of more than 300 puppets.
Rollins' husband, an industrial engineer, streamlined the production of the
Together, she said, they created one of the world's largest puppet-manufacturing firms, which they owned and operated for 43 years.
Rollins' puppet collection grew as she kept sample puppets designed for customers, got puppets from other puppeteers and traded for foreign ones. In the process, included some rare, antique puppets that she gathered all over the world.
ROLLINS RECEIVED TWO puppets from the director of the state puppet museum in Moscow in exchange for puppets produced by Hazelle Inc. Because Russians rarely allow their puppets to leave the country, hers are thought to be the only contemporary puppets in a Western collection.
She still buys puppets occasionally but has decreased her buying in the past few years because she has not traveled much.
