Orange City faces a worsening water shortage as wells run dry and some patrons of the First Reformed church parsonage well found its pump handle locked to deter theft.

Madame Galli-Curci read Swedenborg’s complete 32 volumes in a single summer, praising the Bible’s expanded meaning and Swedenborg’s Revelation as a guide to life.
