The MiGs and Fury gave an awesome dogfight display over our heads (my cheap-o cam is not good enough to take pics of far away/fast moving object) .  The MiG-17 had its afterburner going most of the time.  Must praise the sponsors of this FREE airshow: Pocatello Regional airport, AVCenter/AVFuel, Citizens Community Bank, FMC, RockLandWindFarm, BadlandsBattlefield, TO Engineers, Home Depot, Community Animal Hospital, D.L. Evans Bank, Hertz, JRM Foundation, Idaho Power, Petersen Inc, Portneuf Medical Center, Sanctuary Wealth Management, Allstate, Bank of Idaho, Clarion Inn, Connections Credit Union.

More pleas for help from Idaho company that wants to save Pocatello’s Hoku polysilicon factory! 1-thousand new jobs to be created?

The following was sent by Francis W Kreais III of JCF Funding:

Gordon Jenkins has been working closely with Francis Kreais who is the founder and CEO of JCF Funding-who has been the front man for Arco Hills Silica Company making this deal work.

Gordon Jenkins is the president of Arco Hills Silica Company. This company owns some very large and very pure silica located in Butte County, Idaho. (About 20 Billion tons) When we heard of the bankruptcy auction of Hoku, we became extremely interested in acquiring that polysilicon plant because it fits in so well with what we are trying to do with our silica mine located near Arco Idaho.

We plan to purchase the entire plant at this upcoming auction because it would make it possible for us to go into operation without having to build our own processing plant. We also would benefit the local community because we would not only bring back the some 160 jobs related to the shutting down of the Hoku plant, but at least another 500 to 1000 jobs related to the development of our silica mine and related to the companies that are willing to move their plants out here to Idaho just so they can decrease the transportation costs of hauling the silica back to where they are already located.
