FORMER ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE TO SPEAK IN KALISPELL
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee will speak at Stillwater Chris- tian School’s annual For Such a Time As This dinner on March 19, the school an- nounced last week.
The announcement came a day af- ter Huckabee, who ran in the Republi- can presidential primary in 2008, said he was “more than just thinking about” making a second run for his party’s nomination in 2016.
Stillwater’s For Such a Time As This dinner has attracted some noted conser- vative and Christian speakers in recent years, including Oliver North, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, and Dr. Ben Carson, another possible 2016 con- tender. The event is the school’s primary fundraiser and is held at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $125.
“For Such a Time As This has be- come an important event, not just for our school, but for our entire commu- nity,” said Head of School Daniel Ma- kowski. “We are pleased to be able to share speakers of national prominence who examine the intersection of faith, politics, and family values within our culture, and who compel us to partici- pate in our culture with the values that Stillwater Christian School represents.”
Huckabee served as governor of Ar- kansas from 1996 until 2007 when he launched a failed bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Since then he has hosted television and radio shows and written numerous books, including his most recent, “God, Guns, Grits, and Grav y.”

MAN GETS 17 YEARS IN PRISON FOR ROBBING BROWNING BANK A 31-year-old Browning man has been sentenced to over 17 years in feder- al prison for a bank robbery that netted
him about $4,000.
U.S. District Judge Brian Morris sen-
tenced Ronald Joseph Fourhorns on Jan. 15 and ordered him to pay restitution.
Fourhorns pleaded guilty in No- vember to robbing the Native American Bank in Browning in March 2014.
Prosecutors say Fourhorns passed a note to a bank teller stating that he had a gun and to give him money or he would start shooting.
Court records say officers used sur- veillance video and a description of the getaway vehicle to identify Fourhorns as the suspect.
LAKE COUNTY MAN ARRESTED AFTER SHOT FIRED AT TRIBAL OFFICER
A Lake County man with several out- standing felony warrants was arrested after reportedly firing a shot at an off- duty tribal law enforcement officer who tried to apprehend him on Jan. 20.
Officers with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes arrested 39-year-old James Wilson Allen about two hours later as he hid in the back bed- room of a house.
Sheriff Don Bell says tribal police- man T.J. Hanes spotted Allen, knew he was wanted and tried to apprehend him.
Officers believe Allen fired a shot from a .22-caliber pistol at Hanes and fled. Bell says Hanes dove to the ground and was not hit.
Officers followed Allen’s tracks to the trailer where he was arrested.
Bell says the county attorney’s of- fice will determine what charges to file against Allen.
MONTANA
BREACHED PIPELINE THAT SPILLED OIL LIES EXPOSED ON RIVERBED
Sonar indicates part of an under- ground pipeline that spilled about 30,000 gallons of oil into Montana’s Yel- lowstone River and fouled a local water supply is exposed on the riverbed.
The pipeline is exposed for about 50 feet near where the breach occurred Jan. 17, according to a news release from pub- lic agencies involved with the response.
The pipeline had been buried at least 8 feet under the riverbed, and the depth was last confirmed in September 2011.
The cause of the spill remains un- der investigation. It prompted a five-day shutdown of drinking water services for 6,000 people in the city of Glendive after oil got into a treatment plant.
Prior accidents, including a 2011 Exxon Mobil pipeline spill on the Yel- lowstone near Billings, have demon- strated that pipelines beneath bodies of water can quickly become exposed by floodwaters or other natural forces.
Bridger Pipeline Co., which is based in Casper, Wyoming, says its pipeline will remain shut down from Glendive to near the Canada border until the river section is replaced. The company says the pipeline will be buried deeper be- neath the river.
Federal rules require lines to be bur- ied at least 4 feet beneath riverbeds.
The 193-mile Poplar Pipeline deliv- ers crude from the Bakken oil patch of North Dakota and Montana to a termi- nal in Baker, Montana, about 55 miles south of Glendive.
