There are some people who have a life in them, an energy that is overflowing and abundant. This energy is demonstrated not only in the way they walk, or talk, but in their spirit and the way they share it with others. Debbie Mohr is a one-of-a-kind, loving individual whose energetic spirit is evident in everything that she does.
I first met Debbie Mohr in 1999 when her family moved to Bluffton. That was the year my father left his position, and Debbie’s husband took over as the pastor of English Lutheran Church.

FROM THE ADA ICON - Omega Hollies, Ohio Northern University international services coordinator, likes curry because of the many kinds of spices that can be included in it.
During a curry taste night earlier this week at ONU where several recipes were offered guests, she explained that curry can be spiced hot, mild, even sweet.
Is it hard to find such a large variety of spices? "Not at all," she said. "They are all available from The Food Store in Bluffton."
