Busy times are brewing for Saint Mary’s student and cafe owner, Hope Celmer. The senior said she and her husband recently opened The French Press Coffee Company in downtown Plymouth, Indiana. “We opened in May, so we’re pretty close to our anniversary,” she said. “But we started working on it last January, so we’ve been
