Rochelle Fisher stands in a living room devoid of furnishings, carpet and even a final coat of paint.

Will you help "Jedi" Jarrod reach his goal of $500?

Stow student Jarrod Maguire is raising money and awareness for childhood cancer in honor of his friend Gino Altieri who passed away June 24 at the age of 10.  Gino had been battling Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma — an aggressive pediatric cancer that affects soft tissue, since it was first diagnosed on Sept. 14, 2010.

"I have set a …

Stow Allergy Sufferers, Beware
