Phones Ring Nonstop After Church Telephone Restored
The phone at St. Lucy's Church rectory finally came back last week after Labor Day storm damage. Rev. James Mathews says the revived line is a mixed blessing, as calls have surged since September 19, forcing parishioners to visit in person during two weeks of no service. The rectory number is 475-7273 and food pantry line 424-0023.

West Side coalition seeks meeting space after losing center
The West Side coalition of Syracuse United Neighbors seeks a new meeting site after losing the Anna Mae Williams Center on Shennard Street. Organizer Katherine Lowe says a firmed-up location is hoped for the next meeting on Oct 19 as space is needed for a job and education program. The group is negotiating with Brown Memorial and Delaware Baptist churches while Sept 21 attendance was canceled due to Labor Day storm cleanup. Volunteers distributed fliers on SU campus about storm relief and food donations, with about $1,000 raised and several hundred pounds of food collected by Friday.
