Popular diner in the Finger Lakes closed after vehicle slams into building
MANCHESTER — Jack's Kitchen is closed today and perhaps longer after a vehicle on Monday morning crashed into the building housing the diner. The restaurant at 11 S. Main St., will be closed until it gets fixed, which will involve an engineer, according to a post on the restaurant's Facebook page. The crash left a large hole in the side of the building, exposing the inside to the elements. According to State Police, troopers arrived at the restaurant shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday. In addition to the building damage, troopers found a broken telephone pole. An unoccupied vehicle that troopers said was involved in the crash was found in a nearby parking lot off Clifton Street. Samantha I. Jones, 29, of Clyde, Wayne County, was found nearby, troopers said, and was charged with driving while intoxicated. Jones is scheduled to appear in Manchester Town Court on May 14. The restaurant's social media post notes that people, which includes children, who live over the restaurant are OK.

Former Geneva American Legion Post commander accused of stealing $100K
GENEVA, NY — The former commander of the Geneva American Legion Winnek Post 396 who was arrested nearly a year ago has now been indicted on a felony grand larceny charge. Dale Henry Mosher is charged with one count of second-degree grand larceny, a class C felony, Ontario County District Attorney James Ritts and Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford announced Tuesday. Mosher is scheduled to be arraigned April 17 in Ontario County Court. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison. Mosher is accused of stealing more than $100,000 from the organization from Jan. 1, 2017, through May 30, 2023. 'Stealing from a service group such as this, our veterans, is something that will not be tolerated and will not go unpunished,' Ritts said. 'There will be accountability." The arrest last April came after an internal financial audit of the veterans organization and 10-month investigation involving the Ontario County Sheriff's Office. Wolford said she could not get into specifics on what Mosher spent the money on or how it was taken, but said this was not one theft but lots of little thefts over time. 'It was very clear that it was being used for personal use,' Wolford said. AJ Fratto, the post's current commander, said funding is 'incredibly crucial' to the organization. 'We live and die by every fish fry, to be honest with you,' said Fratto, referring to one of the organization's fundraisers. 'We're really hoping that people realize and understand how important it is to have something like an American Legion that represents veterans, families, the community and children ... We want to maintain the traditions and it's really difficult to do that when you have people stealing from you, especially your own kind.'
