After not hearing from or about Alliance Metals, Rose Law/PR firm and Mr. Loren Barton for some time, and after the March Supervisor meeting was cancelled due to the pandemic, the trio are back again trying to push their project through by threatening and shaming our County Supervisors. At best, their push is a feeble…

When the Supervisors meeting was cancelled and everything was put on hold, pretty much everything smelter related stopped…including our updates.  I saw someone request a source for the latest update on the smelter the other day on social media and it occurred to me that we should at least give everyone an update on where…

Our minds and hearts are focused on caring for our family, our community and on the various outcomes of what the future looks like. We are a strong community.

Update:  It seems that Alliance/Rose did not contact Salome Restaurant to make arrangements for their open house.  The restaurant contacted them through their Facebook page last night and told them that they were welcome to have lunch there but there would be no “meeting”.  I am unsure now if Loren will even show up.  I believe that…

Important Update on Alliance Metals Plans for Building a Smelter in Wenden  Alliance Metals is moving forward with their plans to build the smelter despite rumors to the contrary.  They’ve been conducting meetings with several…
