A memory of a mother and the experience of trauma lead a local man to a better life.
Anthony DiMurro thinks cancer was the best thing that ever happened to him. Before the sickness, he was, by his own reckoning a “rogue.” He took chances and shortcuts.

The Our Lady of Sorrows food pantry has run out of food. Demand in the community is so high that the cupboard is bare. Each Saturday morning, about 100 families are provided with food; volunteers spend the previous week packing brown paper grocery bags with cereal, a roll of paper towels or toilet paper, macaroni and cheese, pasta sauce, pasta, soup, canned vegetables, tuna, spam, peanut butter and jelly, and rice. Each family receives a bag and usually some extra items, as well. "We like to give personal items such as toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant," explains a volunteer. The pantry is, literally, that, a small room with shelves on two sides, and freezers at the far end. When people come on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., volunteers…
