  • Huffman inducted to MCHF

    Updated Oct 20, 2022

    Western historian J. Evetts Haley proclaimed that L.A. Huffman's photographic work "surpasses all for historic subject matter close to the range." Laton Alton Huffman was born on October 31, 1854, on a frontier farm in Winneshiek County, Iowa, to Perrin C. and Chastina (Baird) Huffman. L.A. learned photography from his parents, and the business briefly operated as P.C. Huffman & Son. By 1876, L.A. had moved 15 miles south to Postville to open his own studio. Among various ende...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Oct 20, 2022

    Although it has been a beautiful autumn, the "Old Farmer's Almanac" is predicting that winter is going to be rather old fashioned.

  • Conversations with God

    Updated Oct 20, 2022

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it’s great to come across something so neat about rain – how it often begins with a sharp pattern, but when snow comes, it usually comes very softly. Can’t we all just see the picture: the wind brushing up the clouds, the brook held down by ice, and then the sudden coming of the “white bees of the moon”? Just sharing a poem about all that, which was written by Joseph Auslander: “The clouds were all brushed up and back The wrong way by the wind; The trees were attired in black; The br...

  • Tricks & Treats

    Miranda Hendrickson

    This will be the third year for Alzada's Tricks and Treats Halloween event. The event was the brainchild of Miranda Hendrickson and Catherine Richards back in 2019. The idea behind it was to have an indoor Trunk-or-Treat style event which has gained in popularity in recent years. Having the event indoors reduces concerns over unpredictable fall weather and the need to wear snowsuits underneath costumes. The event was not held in 2020 but resumed last year. Kids only have to...

  • Memories

    Loyd Townsend|Updated Oct 20, 2022

    While going through some old files recently, I came upon the following information. As you read it, remember the date and the amount. How many years ago? It doesn’t seem possible that the high school is that old; and what a bargain! I believe Jim Anderson was superintendent at the time and I was chairman of the board.
