Easter Sunrise Service was beautiful, clear and bright. The sun rose and shone its light on the faithful that assembled.

On last Friday at 4:30 in the morning, Bridgett Foster Silva and her husband Ron were rudely awakened by a big crash. Ron went out to check and a car had splintered the power pole in three places and creamed their fence. Power lines caught the trees on fire and were sparking. Another car was in the road and a guy was on his phone and then took off. They checked the wrecked car and no one was inside. The Fire Department and Sheriff checked for a body but the driver had escaped. Power to the area was off for quite a while. Orange Blossom was down to one lane while the new pole was installed.
