For comparison, a minor in possession of alcohol paid a larger court fine that week than Roberts did, and Roberts wasn’t even required to appear.

After more than three hours of presentations and public comments, and with the Lovatt Room packed full of their constituents, Sublette County Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve the controversial conditional use permit (CUP) requested by Jackson Fork Ranch (JFR) for an industrial parking facility to service the luxury Homestead Resort in the remote Hoback Basin. The CUP includes conditions that there be no construction activity before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. and that there be dust mitigation during the construction of the road and the parking facility. Commissioners Dave Stephens and Doug Vickrey cast the two dissenting votes while Chairman Sam White, and Commissioners Tom Noble and Mack Bradley supported the CUP. Some folks called for Bradley to recuse himself after learning about his daughter’s upcoming wedding plans at Jackson Fork Ranch. Instead of abstaining from the vote, Bradley eventually made the motion to approve the CUP, first saying, “If it comes down to a conflict, that wedding won’t be there because I feel this vote is more important to this county than that wedding is to be there (at JFR).”

For the first time in its history, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has a formal plan in place for managing the state’s 21 winter elk feedgrounds.  The 96-page document allows for changes to feedgrounds that could avert the worst consequences of an ugly disease that’s ramping up — a sickness that scientists expect will devastate Northwest Wyoming’s six fed elk herds in the long term if feeding continues. Notably, the plan does not compel reform or call for closing feedgrounds, but it does open the door for wholesale changes to the system of feeding elk that’s been in place for a century.

The Drift 100 overall winner has always been a male biker, until this year when Shalane Frost, a 35-year-old woman from Fairbanks Alaska, crossed the finish line in first place on her skies in only 23:21:36. The second-place overall finisher was male biker Edyn Teitge, who at age 14 is the youngest athlete to ever complete the marathon. The teen from Hailey, Idaho completed the race in 23:55. Pulling into third place on her bike was Ginny Robbins, from Victor, Idaho. No stranger to The Drift 100, Robbins is now the first athlete to finish the race in each of the three divisions and place first in each discipline.
