The three officers on duty made approximately 13 stops, on the cool May night, including three OWI stops that resulted in two arrests. (Chris DeBack photo)

Editors note: Every May, we take a week to honor the men and women who bravely fight to keep the peace in our hometowns. In honor of National Police Week May 15-21, Chris DeBack with the Fayette County Union spent a night shift, on Friday, May 13, with West Union Police Chief Dylan Schauer.

 

Despite a full moon and it being Friday the 13th, it was a relatively quiet shift with no Freddy Krueger sightings. However, that doesn’t mean the three on duty officers weren’t busy handling calls and stopping cars for traffic violations.

Josephine's grandson and Therese's son, Bob, has also had the privilege to share many moments with his grandmother while growing up in West Union. (Submitted photo)

 

Reflections of a daughter as her mother celebrates her 100th birthday

Not many of us will see our 100th birthday, nor do some of us even want to, but on May 22, 2016, my mother, Josephine (Jo) Langreck Heying, will reach that pinnacle.

How does it happen that some of us live to that ripe old age? Genetics? Healthy living? For my mother, I think it has been her zest for life – to do, experience and, in some instances, conquer all that this world has to offer.
