Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Bozeman Symphony Presents Bohemian Fire (pccjournal.com) — Bozeman Symphony is bringing its Bohemian Fire program to Willson Auditorium downtown on October 10 and 11, featuring the Montana premiere of Jennifer Higdon's Cello Concerto with returning soloist Julian Schwarz. Conducted by music director Norman Huynh, the concerts pair contemporary works with Dvořák's Symphony No. 7, with tickets starting at $33 and student discounts available online, by phone, or at the door.
2. Montana State tops Northern Arizona 28-14 for 19th straight win (cbssports.com) — Montana State extended its record winning streak to 19 games in Bozeman with a 28-14 victory over Northern Arizona, despite missing several key offensive players. Backup quarterback Patrick Duchien accounted for three touchdowns, while Colson Coon gashed the defense for 199 rushing yards, keeping the top-ranked Bobcats unbeaten heading into next week's road test.
3. Students and community confront Bozeman City Commissioners over funding war profiteers (fightbacknews.org) — Bozeman residents and Montana State University students packed the September 22 City Commission meeting to oppose extending a tax-increment financing district that helps fund the Innovation Campus, which includes defense‑oriented tech tenants. Despite three hours of testimony about redirecting revenue to city services and concerns over "war profiteers," commissioners unanimously approved issuing bonds and prolonging the TIF, while some pledged to explore ways to limit military‑linked companies on the campus.
4. Mountain goat visits town, Alme backs Trump's Iran approach & MT Supreme Court candidates attend forum (bozemandailychronicle.com) — Bozeman readers are treated to a quirky story about a yearling mountain goat calmly appearing in the entryway of Grace Bible Church before wildlife officials relocated it. The newsletter also recaps U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Alme's support for Trump's Iran policy and sharp criticism of a rival, plus a Montana Supreme Court candidate forum on judicial philosophy and rights.
