Roberts takes Pine Haven council seat

New council member Tom Roberts and wife Emily have lived in Pine Haven for a few years and is in the process of selling his business, Pluggin' Along, in Gillette to fully retire.

Roberts, who had always been active in his Gillette community as chair of the YES House and working diligently on committee, joined the cemetery board in town and took the reigns as chair/sexton after the death of Bruce Lang.

Mayor Karla Brandenburg recognized him for his tireless efforts to complete projects at the cemetery that he and Lang had discussed.

"When the council was faced with a vacant seat, we decided to appoint someone and Tom was everyone's first choice. He agreed to serve if he could stay on as cemetery liaison."

In his new position, he will work with Larry Glenn, who has accepted the position of chair/sexton over the cemetery board.
