Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Thursday, March 19.

Folks, our community is buzzing with passion over the future of our wild lands. Just last week at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, a packed house gathered for a fiery public meeting on the proposed repeal of the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects six million acres in Montana from new roads and logging. Local heroes like former Bozeman Ranger District leader Lisa Stoeffler warned that threats like wildfires and climate change make these protections more vital than ever, debunking claims that roads help fight fires by pointing to data showing they actually spark more blazes. Adaptive athlete Vasu Sojitra shared how roadless areas open the outdoors to everyone through smart programming, not more pavement. Residents from Karissa Wedman, a young wildland firefighter whos known these safeguards her whole life, to Scott Bischke, whos explored every corner, poured out heartfelt stories urging leaders to preserve these spaces for wildlife, families, and future generations. Organizers from Wild Montana and allies collected hundreds of comments to submit when the US Forest Service drops its proposal soon, proving Bozemanites voice matters in shaping our backyard forests.

Shifting to urgent alerts, Gallatin Gateway Fire crews are battling a wildfire in the 14200 block of Cottonwood Canyon right now, so please steer clear to keep responders safe and let them contain it fast, especially with spring winds picking up.

On a brighter note, healthcare access faces changes with Montanas Medicaid work requirements kicking in July 1, six months ahead of schedule. Adults 19 to 64 must log 80 hours monthly in work, training, or volunteering, or risk losing coverage, though exemptions cover the medically frail, caregivers, and more. Local providers like Big Sandy Medical Centers CEO Ron Wiens worry it could hit clinics hard, where Medicaid patients make up 20 percent, potentially straining care for working families. Doctors call for clear guidance to keep it helpful, not a barrier.

Tonight, dive into fun. Head to Bozeman Library at 2pm for Raptors for Kids, a free hands-on adventure with our feathered predators. Catch Rent rocking the Ellen Theatre at 7:30pm, tickets from 84 bucks for that timeless tale of love and survival. Or join Bingo Nights at The Jump from 7 to 9pm for laughs and prizes. Todays also prime for business networking with the Bozeman Chamber at 7:30am if youre hustling.

Stay engaged, Bozeman, these stories shape our valley life.

Bozemans buzzing with growth and grit today, starting with some big news on our healthcare front. Bozeman Health just announced a massive expansion to keep up with our booming population, which has jumped from 25,000 emergency visits a year in 2011 to 40,000 last year, and theyre projecting 40 to 50 percent more growth over the next decade.

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Sunday, March 15th, 2026.

We're starting this morning with some exciting news from Worthington Arena on the Montana State University campus, where the Class B state basketball championship is happening right now. Harlem and Lodge Grass are squaring off in what's shaping up to be an absolutely electric matchup. Lodge Grass comes into this game undefeated, while Harlem is looking to complete their own stellar season. Both teams have passionate fan bases and some history at this venue. Harlem actually knocked Lodge Grass out in the 2022 semifinals here, but then fell short in the championship game that year to Three Forks. This rematch has everyone talking. According to folks who cover high school sports in the state, the atmosphere tonight could rival some of the most intense basketball games Montana has ever seen. We'll be tracking the results throughout the day, so stay tuned for updates as this championship unfolds.

In other sports news, the Montana State women's tennis team is kicking off a spring break road trip today. The Bobcats are heading down to Portland State for a match at four o'clock Mountain Time.

This Portland State matchup marks the start of three games on this road trip, with additional matches scheduled against Portland on Tuesday and Seattle University on Thursday.

On a different note, the Livingston HRDC Warming Center is continuing its operations today thanks to incredible community support. The shelter was originally scheduled to close for the season on February 28th, but thanks to over ninety thousand dollars in donations from local residents, they've extended operations through today, March 15th. The center typically only runs from November through February, but this year the community really came together to help folks experiencing homelessness during the extended cold weather. HRDC CEO Heather Grenier says this is about preventing loss of life for people without stable housing, and the generosity of Livingston residents made that possible for a few extra weeks.

That's what's happening in and around Bozeman this Sunday morning. Whether you're heading to the basketball championship, catching some tennis action, or supporting our community's important warming center efforts, it's a great day to be part of what's happening locally.
