A little less than a year after he announced his candidacy, Jacob Bachmeier, an 18-year-old 2016 Havre High School graduate, pulled off an upset win in the race for House District 28, unseating first-term Rep. Stephanie Hess, R-Havre. "We proved a lot of people wrong, but more importantly we proved a lot of people right," Bachmeier said after learning of his victory shortly after midnight. When the final votes were counted, Bachmeier had taken eight of nine precincts within...
JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON - Donald Trump claimed his place today as America's 45th president, an astonishing victory for the celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters' economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House. Trump's triumph over Hillary Clinton, not declared until well after midnight, will end eight years of Democratic dominance o...
Havre will continue to operate under a mayor-council form of government after voters soundly rejected Tuesday a proposal that would have changed the city’s structure. Voters rejected the Havre Local Government Review Study Commission proposal 2,302-1,435. “I don’t know, it’s hard to say why it failed,” Commission Chair Brewer last night. Brewer and fellow committee members Lowell Swenson and Perry Atchinson were chosen by Havre voters in 2014 to determine if Havre should change its current form of government, and if so what f...
MATT VOLZ MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press HELENA — Montana Gov. Steve Bullock won a second term and secured the Democrats’ 12-year hold on the governor’s office for another four years by defeating Republican challenger Greg Gianforte. Bullock’s win was a rare bright spot for Democrats after a strong Election Day for Republican candidates in Montana. Incumbent Ryan Zinke held on to the state’s only U.S. House seat, while the GOP took secretary of state from the Democrats, and were poised to flip two other statewide offices,...
At 9:30 p.m. on election night, the Hill County Republicans, a large group packed into the hospitality suite of the Townhouse Inn, began singing “God Bless America” after FOX News had just announced that Wisconsin had gone red. It was becoming apparent that a Republican will be moving into the White House next year. Florida and Ohio, two must-win states for Republicans, were already in the win column for Republicans. Although a combination of national polls suggested a Hillary Clinton win by four points, Chair of the Hil...

In a recent article for CNN, President Obama reiterated the grand goal he first set back in 2010 for the United States to send a mission to Mars by the 2030s. The president wrote that: “I still have the same sense of wonder about our space program that I did as a child. It represents an essential part of our character — curiosity and exploration, innovation and ingenuity, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and doing it before anybody else.” I share those sentiments. Obama is right to promote NASA and the space agenda...
A sign on the door at Starbucks advised that hours on Christmas Day will be 4:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Good to know — but 60 days in advance? Inside the Paso Robles, California, store coffee was being served in festive green cups, although outside it was 82 degrees on a sunny fall afternoon. Channel 4 in New York City was running a commercial for Radio City’s Christmas Spectacular: “A mesmerizing holiday tradition.” The mall in Tempe, Arizona, was playing “Holly Jolly Christmas.” An email from the NBA offered free shipping on...
I have said throughout this presidential campaign that it doesn’t matter much which candidate wins. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are authoritarians and neither can be expected to roll back the leviathan state that destroys our civil liberties at home while destroying our economy and security with endless wars overseas. Candidates do not matter all that much, despite what the media would have us believe. Ideas do matter, however. And regardless of which of these candidates is elected, the battle of ideas now b...
In her job as a community college biology teacher, my wife encounters many older students who have decided to reinvent themselves following widowhood, divorce or downsizing. Their commitment to ongoing education is admirable — but it’s also VOLUNTARY. That may change. According to the Washington Post, a debate is currently raging in Nordic countries over whether to institute mandatory adult education. If such a scheme catches on in Scandinavia, don’t doubt that it will spread to America. Judges, policymakers and hipst...

MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — Montana voters approved an expansion of medical marijuana, one of four citizen initiatives on the ballot, which is the most in any state election since 2010. The other ballot measures asked voters to decide whether to ban trapping on public lands, fund brain research and insert a crime victims’ rights law into the state constitution. MEDICAL MARIJUANA: The passage of Initiative 182 means that marijuana dispensaries will be able to re-open after they closed in August to comply with a sta...

For as long as I can remember, I have been a sports fan and throughout all that time, I have been a fan of the Chicago Cubs. My love for the Cubs has always been organic. I remember watching their games when I grew up in Nebraska. I would watch their games on WGN after school and it didn’t take long to fall in love. I loved Wrigley Field, the ivy, Mark Grace, the day games and the tradition. Oh and they had Harry Caray. To me, the Cubs have always represented something good about baseball, something simple and majestic. If y...
Chris Peterson Havre Daily News [email protected] Unlike in football, basketball or volleyball, wrestling teams don’t often get to perform in front of their hometown fans. It’s just the nature of a sport that has more tournaments than duals. As far as Montana State University-Northern wrestling is concerned, the Lights have had a few home matches so far this season, but as they prepare for a home dual against UGF tonight inside the Armory Gymnasium, the exc...

That’s because Northern’s longtime rival, the University of Great Falls Argos are in town for the first of two duals in the annual rivalry clash between the Lights and Argos. The action gets underway at 7 inside the Armory Gymnasium. And, while fourth-ranked Northern should be a heavy favorite in...
