And yesterday, a federal bankruptcy judge in Texas ruled Jones will have to sell off his personal assets to pay them. But the judge rejected a proposed liquidation of Jones' media company. Davis Dunavin of member station WSHU reports on the mixed outcome.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
