“A Midland High School graduate won’t soon forget the gifts he was given at his open house. ‘I think it’s just incredible what they did for me and my family,’ said Micah Schieber. Schieber’s father, Chad Schieber, died while running the Chicago Marathon in 2007. He had an undetected heart condition.The elder Schieber was a man of faith, a husband, father, and Midland police officer. Micah asked his mother Sarah Schieber to invite the Midland Police Department to his graduation open house. …
