we use to ride motorcycles on the chat piles, and had lots of parties at red clay, i have had too many friends that developed cancer and are no longer with us to say that the lead in the air didn't do any damage to us. We use to fish in tar creek when i was a kid, but then the water started turning orange, my grandpa & dad both worked in the mines, and i actually got to go down in the mine tour that they use to have, right there on the corner as you turned to go into picher.
Oh, and before you jump ugly on my ass like some ignorant country bumpkin, my aunt Lily grew up in Cardin and played on the chat piles every day. It didn't bother her too much she said. When she had two boys, they played there too. Both my cousins eventually developed permanent learning disabilities and my older cousin also had major neurological problems caused by lead and now he's developing signs of Parkinson's Disease at age 32.
So tell me again how playing on the piles never hurt anybody.
My great grandma lived in picher for Many many years & to this day she is up moving around @ 88...I loved playing on the chat piles every weekend & I always drank the water..My whole family grew up in Picher & were all fine..
@OklahomaGirl1988 Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but if you played on the chat piles every weekend you inhaled and swallowed a vast amount of lead.
Maybe the fact that you don't seem to think that's a problem suggests it did in fact make you mentally retarded like it's done to thousands of kids across the country every year.
Kids are innocent and don't know any better. It's up to us adults to keep them safe. I'm glad other parents cared more about their kids than yours did.
hoppy ray was the strongest man i ever knew i grew up in picher oklahoma and drunk the water played on the chat piles and i'm fine. they just wanted the chat. you can take us from picher but you can't and won't take the picher from us
