I left from there and went to Huntington where I called an employee at Energy West's main office. According to this person they didnt know anything about what was going on, just that the Scottish Power officials where somewhere and they were supposed to tour the Deer Geek Mine. This person also said there were no plans for the Scottish Power officials to tour the main office of Energy West whJe they were in the area.
