Judge Brenda Gilbert issued a motion May 4 to stay the case for 120 days to allow the state of Montana to complete an investigation into the claim, which is required under Montana state law. The suit stems from a 2015 motor vehicle crash in the Shields Valley that resulted in a vehicular homicide case against Overstreet. Rhiannon Wills, 17, died in the crash and two others were seriously injured. Overstreet was tried twice in the case, once in 2017 and once in 2018, with both trials ending in hung juries. The charges against him were dismissed by Gilbert with prejudice, which prevents the case from being retried, in 2020, weeks before a third trial was scheduled to begin. Overstreet’s attorneys, Jami Rebson and Suzanne Marshall, filed a complaint March 29 against Park Coun- ty, the Montana Highway Patrol; state Trooper Eric Fetterhoff; Barbara Watson, Courtesy of Livingston Depot Center former proprietor of Watson The historic Livingston Depot passenger terminal is pictured from the railroad tracks.

Profiles University of Montana November 1977 Vol. 10, No. 1 Will the polar bear survive the energy crisis? by Ron Righter They flew each day, these men who study bears. Packed in a twin-engine Piper Navajo, they skimmed one hundred miles of floating ice and open water between the Norwegian island of Svalbard and Greenland. Bart O'Gara and his Danish and Norwegian companions scanned the ice below for polar bear tracks. They knew that the ice would drift south until it melted and they suspected that any bears still alive would be forced ashore and killed by Greenland's Eskimo hunters. The biologists had no hope of preventing bears from embarking on this dead-end drift of polar ice. Instead, they sought to discover the origin of the doomed bears. Did they come from the Soviet Arctic? Or did the pack ice carry some of them from as far away as Alaska, as some researchers speculate? These were—and still are—much more than purely academic questions.

Carole (Pierce) Gardner 690 Gonzales Road #11 Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 Cover images: The Last Will and Testament of Captain Michael Pierce dated 15 January 1675, with his signature from that document – Peirse. 2 CAPTAIN MICHAEL PIERCE (~1615 – 1676 ) PREFACE This genealogy begins with Captain Michael Pierce and his family, continuing through ten Pierce generations: Michael1, John2, John3, Elisha4, Elisha5, Eliphalet6, Hollom7, Sherman Nathan8, Charles Edwin9, his children and grandchildren, including the writer among the last group. Genealogical work on the earliest families in America has been done by a great number of researchers over the years, and I hope this document will add to the body of knowledge on this Pierce family. Of interest to researchers of the early generations of Pierce’s will be the compilation of material specifically on Captain Michael Pierce and his family. I have brought source documents together in one place in an effort to provide better, and in some cases, corrected information on this family. This includes information on his children and their families, and well as both of his wives. The book continues through Michael’s third and last son, John, and four generations of his descendants who remained in Bristol County. Massachusetts. New information is provided on these families that has not been published previously. Then in 1804, Eliphalet Pierce was the first to leave Massachusetts, and with his new wife, Annis McMichel, he removed to western New York and finally to Illinois, beginning the spread of this Pierce family to the western states.

    Cover The Mission of Duke University James B. Duke’s founding indenture of Duke University directed the members of the university to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wis- dom, and promote human happiness.” To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate stu- dents, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high eth- ical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide-ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human dif- ference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth. By pursuing these objectives with vision and integrity, Duke University seeks to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and stimulate the best effort of all who are associated with the university; to contribute in diverse ways to the local community, the state, the nation and the world; and to attain and maintain a place of real leadership in all that we do.
