Registration now open for Master Gardener classes

by Jeff Burbrink Extension Educator Purdue Extension - Elkhart County ELKHART COUNTY - I am excited to announce that applications for the 2018 Master Gardener program in Elkhart County are now available. The deadline for submitting an application is September 28. Since 1996, more than 650 people have participated in the Master Gardener program in Elkhart County. The Purdue University Extension Service of Elkhart County sponsors the program. Master Gardeners is much more than a series of classes. To me, Master Gardeners is a learning experience, and a great way to share ideas with other gardeners. Master Gardeners is also a volunteer training program. Those

The Ensemble was very strong, and though I hate to single any one out, I thought that Akira Watanable stood out as a dancer in back to back numbers, "I Gotta Be Bad," and "Bolera D'Amore." "Copacabana" is more than the standard jukebox musical, in which a number of familiar hits are strung together for a can't miss show. Rather, it builds on a song we've all heard and transforms it to a show's worth of unfamil-

by Amy Lant-Wenger Editor NAPPANEE - Residents of the Nappanee area are taking steps to become extra vigilant as of late. As of press time, a number of reports were shared with members of the Advance-News staff, as well as being circulated around social media, about a string of robberies and home invasions within and around the community.

Another report alleges that a resident was home at the time of forcible entry, during which a physical altercation ensued. Others have stated that items were taken from their vehicles, typically during the evening hours. Although no pattern has
