Today's riddle: What did the bartender say to the jumper cables when they walked in? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Bozeman man held on $250K bond after crash, alleged stabbing near Davis Lane (nbcmontana.com) — Bozeman police say a rollover crash near Savannah Street and Davis Lane early Sunday led to a bystander being stabbed after trying to detain the fleeing driver. The suspect, a Bozeman man, was later arrested near North 19th Avenue and Baxter Lane and is held on $250,000 bond, with felony assault and DUI charges pending further court action.
2. Bear sightings rise in Bozeman as FWP urges properly storing attractants (fairfieldsuntimes.com) — Bozeman residents are being urged to secure trash, birdfeeders, and other food sources as bear activity increases around town heading into hibernation season. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says recent sightings reflect hungry bears roaming neighborhoods, and early reporting plus bear-proof garbage cans from the city can help prevent dangerous conflicts and euthanizations.
3. Gallatin Co. officials work toward Axtell Bridge replacement (nbcmontana.com) — Gallatin County officials are working with the state on replacing Axtell Bridge over the Gallatin River near Bozeman, while keeping it open under strict 5‑ton and one‑vehicle limits. Residents are urged to follow the rules as engineers study replacement options, including pedestrian access, with construction likely years away and another progress meeting planned for January.
4. University Human Resources Analyst (montana.edu) — Montana State University is hiring a full‑time University Human Resources Data Analyst position based entirely on campus in Bozeman, with no remote option. The role focuses on HR data accuracy, reporting, and system improvements, offers benefits and hourly pay starting at $28, and begins reviewing applications September 15, giving qualified locals time to apply.
5. Bozeman company collaborates on citizen preparation ad (bozemandailychronicle.com) — A Bozeman media studio helped create a new short film about an immigrant preparing for the U.S. citizenship test, using familiar local spots like the historic Federal Building, Gallatin Gateway's Westerner, and the Yellowstone River as backdrops. The project highlights Bozeman's "Americana" feel while connecting local film professionals to a national immigrant-support campaign encouraging citizens to help newcomers study online.
