Trio charged in liquor story entry
Three Auburn men were arrested Sunday morning after breaking into and stealing from Jake's Liquor Store, 96 North St., Auburn.
Whitt White, 23, of 28 Perry St., Scott P. Farrelly, 20, of 198 State St., and James G. Scott, 22, of 144 Van Anden St., were each charged with third-degree burglary and third-degree criminal mischief, both felony charges, and petit larceny. Scott was on parole at the time.
A little before 8 a.m. on Sunday, the three men threw a cinder block through the window of the liquor store and took three bottles of liquor, valued at $43, according to Auburn police. They then took off in a car, traveling west on Routes 5 and 20. When they passed the state police barracks, a state trooper followed the car and eventually arrested the three in the village of Cayuga.
The three were set to be arraigned Sunday and remanded to Cayuga County Jail.
Farmer-church aid helps African herds
Five Cayuga County dairy farmers have donated the milk income of one cow on their farms to rebuild cattle herds in Mozambique, while three Ithaca-area churches donated the costs of caring for and feeding the cows to a nonprofit that works to solve hunger problems in Africa.
The joint farmer-church charitable effort raised $20,000 for the nonprofit Food Resource's Bank's Adopt A Cow program.
The five dairies - Aurora Ridge Dairy, Oakwood Dairy, Scipio Springs Dairy, Sunnyside Farm and Willet Dairy - raised $13,767. The churches - First Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church and St. Luke's Lutheran Church - donated $6,233.
