We want to introduce you to one of the kids

from the Smelter Heights.

Page 2: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

His Name is LESLIE BALDWIN JR.

Page 3: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Approx. 10 min. of Video Interview.

Page 4: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

He is not alone, he is just one of hundreds of kids

who grew up in the immediate area that is

affected by the contamination.

Page 5: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The lead has affected him, and he has gone thru life

mistreated and looked down upon by many.

Page 6: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

No explanation has ever been given to him, and

until now he didn’t really know.

Page 7: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

He has never been offered any help or explanation until

some of the facts were brought to light.

Page 8: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Much information has been swept under the rug. This has caused many to

suffer for years.

Page 9: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

I call for the churches and their members to reach out, at least with “understanding”, and to

learn how to identify lead damage and the other

chemicals that have killed many of your own members,

and citizens.

Page 10: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Most churches have their own prayer list. How many names

do you remember seeking prayer for just kidneys?Think back for 10 years!

Page 11: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

We are just now truly discovering the effects, and can recognize the scale of the problem.

Page 12: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Our speaker and hundreds of others are

not like this because GOD looked down upon

them.

Page 13: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

They are like this because of lack of information and

an outright cover-up going on now for 35

years.

Page 14: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

This man and many others have never been

offered any help, hope or understanding.

Page 15: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

What's funny, for you non- believers, is that this same stuff

that made him this way is under your home, in your

alleys, under your street and in your yard.

Page 16: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

It’s leaching into your basement, storm cellar, and can get into your

water every time a water line breaks around town.

Page 17: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The main water line that feeds the whole town,

runs next to the 150,000 cubic yard toxic dump.

Page 18: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

That line did break about 8 years ago, and it was in

a very bad spot.

Page 19: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

CAUTIONIf you have a sump

pump, every time it kicks on you may be dumping

toxic waste onto your yard.

Page 20: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

This plume extends from 21st street across Main street and

from Doolin to Ferguson It’s not just about some poor

folks.

Page 21: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The plume really doesn’t mean much. New studies

have show the sewers on all of Fairview are

contaminated. They are far from the plume.

Page 22: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

All the creek systems are contaminated. All have lead, mercury, arsenic, and very

high levels of zinc, which can be harmful. All waterways in

Blackwell and all standing water, and mud are affected.

Page 23: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The Shaw group dug up the creek, stirred up the toxins and they will wash down every time

it rains Keep the kids out of the creek.

Page 24: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

This is no joke!

Page 25: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

EPA in 1993 highly recommended that all kids be

tested for lead. Only three children under the age of six were tested. Why?? This was the most at risk group. They knew that group would show

high lead levels.

Page 26: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Insert EPA letter

Page 27: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Your city will not even put up signs warning of the

dangers. There's none at the creeks or even on the BIP.

WHY?

Page 28: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The cover-up has gone on long enough.

Page 29: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Don’t you find it odd the city has not responded to the contamination issue.

NOTHING in the Newspaper.

Page 30: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Even in a city meeting when an Engineer stated

“Cadmium has exasperated our sewer problem”. Our Newspaper was silent!!!!

Page 31: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The things they have done aretake down the campaign signs and defame us thru their little group. The good news is, that

the smarter ones who have nothing to loose, are finally

understanding they have been duped..

Page 32: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

They are contaminated also.

Page 33: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

What I am doing is not going to lower your property values.

How do you lower something that's the lowest in can be.

Correct clean-up can only raise your property value!

Page 34: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

We already have the highest electric, sewer,

and tax base. Thanks to Phelps Dodge and the city council, we are paying for

this contamination.

Page 35: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

We just got stuck with a multi-million dollar

water basin, because of the contamination. It was billed to you, not

Phelps Dodge.

Page 36: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Willis time tickets show he is billing the city for

PR work for Phelps Dodge now at $85.00 an

hour.

Page 37: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

We are in trouble with ODEQ for dumping

contaminates in the river. (not raw sewage) Is this basin for Phelps Dodge passed off by Willis and

the ODEQ to you?

Page 38: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Where is our leadership?

Page 39: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Who approves a school to be built on contaminated soil, removes the

top 12 inches and dumps it illegally on the river? Then who brings back soil that came from underneath an abandoned oil

refinery and spreads it on our new school location?

Page 40: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

The soil should have been taken to the BIP, not across town

damaging our only new street. They didn’t even cover the

trucks. Where was our leadership that is suppose to protect us? We have always depended upon them to take

care problems.

Page 41: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

We should be very careful and elect new leadership to do just

that!!!

Page 42: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Where were the stories in the newspaper,

Page 43: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Integrity:1. Possession of firm principles

2. The state of being sound

“ The integrity of this program will be tested during its

execution”

Page 44: We want to introduce you to one of the kids from the Smelter Heights

Unfortunately, my job is to bring certain things out that makes me unpopular among

the responsible parties. They in turn, will go kicking and

screaming to anyone whom they think they can control or

bully.
