Bev Steiner has worn a multitude of hats in her life: mother, wife, grandmother, medical technician, and others, but at the Mennonite Memorial Home she is known for her fragrant gifts of potpourri.
Bev, the flower lady, refined her art of making her potpourri after she came to the Mennonite Home to recover from a shattered femur.
She tells the story about the first time she decided to make some potpourri. She took the flowers from a great nieces wedding and made some for the bride and their mothers.
The Bluffton University men's soccer team battled from start to finish but it was the Cincinnati Christian Eagles who flew away with their first victory of the season. The 3-0 shutout dropped Bluffton to 0-8 overall, while CCU moved to 1-5 following the victory.
The Bluffton University women's soccer team allowed just two late shots in a 3-0 shutout of Ohio Christian on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2011. The Beavers improved to 3-1-1 on the season, while Ohio Christian slipped to 2-5 overall.
Rehearsals for Bluffton University's 116th performance of Handel's "Messiah" will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesdays, beginning Oct. 4, in the Gilliom Room of Mosiman Hall.
