Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2015-12-23 10:55

Last Wednesday and Thursday were full of tears of joy and happiness for sisters Alissa Dehl and Hilary Nuss after Hudson Bruce Dehl made a grand entrance around 3 a.m. on Dec. 16. Hilary was a gestational surrogate for her older sister, Alissa. The girls grew up in West Union the daughters of Rodney and Kathy Senner, who are proud of their girls beyond works.

As a child, Alissa Senner saw her little sister as the little tagalong.

“There were many times she would sleep in my bed, even though she had a perfectly good bed in a bedroom of her own,” laughed Alissa, now married and living in Omaha.

Mike Johnson Jr. fills up his truck at All Stop in West Union as he prepares for a 12-hour drive to the lower portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Gas prices are at a six-year low, which has many northeast Iowa families rethinking their travel plans for this holiday season.

The last time gas prices stayed consistently below $2 a gallon was in 2009. Locally the prices are currently $1.92/gallon at Casey’s General Store, $1.92/gallon at All Stop and $1.92/gallon at BP Express, as of Monday morning (Dec. 21).

He and fellow senior Logan Schweinefus had nearly identical stat lines early last week, both scoring 18 points and grabbing five rebounds against MFL/MarMac.
