Good morning, Missoula.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has released a draft environmental assessment for a beaver transplant program that will guide moves of beavers into proper habitats and help reduce landowner conflicts.

The public may send comments until October 27—this input will shape plans for balancing ecosystem gains with human concerns.

Western Conifer Seed Bugs are entering Montana homes as fall arrives and temperatures drop; these insects are harmless since they do not bite, sting, or damage food—residents can easily remove them with a vacuum.

Homeowners are advised to check their window screens and door seals to keep these seasonal visitors outdoors.

Today, the City of Missoula Public Works & Mobility Department will install new traffic calming features in the Northside neighborhood by placing stop signs and quick-build traffic circles at intersections near Scott Street, I-90, Orange Street and the railroad tracks—each installation is expected to take about 20 minutes with minimal traffic disruption and finish before winter if weather permits.

At University of Montana, ROTC cadets known as the Boom Crew manage a cannon that fires wadded paper every time the Griz score a touchdown—this five-person team has upheld the tradition since 1990 while following strict safety protocols.

The firing process, which was refined after modifications to a donated replica M1841 Mountain Howitzer, continues to energize fans during home games.

The Montana Grizzlies erased a nine-point deficit by scoring 28-0 after halftime and 21-0 in the fourth quarter to beat the Cal Poly Mustangs and remain undefeated.

The team showed strong play in the second half while keeping its winning streak alive.

The Montana Grizzlies overcame a slow start in Saturday's game against Cal Poly as their offense exploded in the final period—turning a three-quarter shutout into a comeback win.
