Russell Kirk’s 500-page book published in 1953 in the United States was entitled “The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Santayana.” This book is normally cited as the first book outlining the modern Ameri...

Hello everyone, My name is Kason Clark and I am happy to announce that I will be serving as the Havre Daily News sports reporter. I just moved to Havre from Exeter, a small town nestled in California’s Central Valley. This past week in Havre has served as quite the culture shock, as I’ve experienced more snow and sub-zero temperatures in a few days than I had in my entire 23-year life living in Central and Southern California.
