HOUSTON – A patron is filing a negligence lawsuit against Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet, claiming she injured herself following a slip-and-fall incident.
Charles Thomas Allen was born in Syracuse on Jan. 26, 1887. His British father died when Allen was just an infant. Allen’s mother, Minnie Newman Allen, raised in Pompey, brought up her young son in Syracuse. Mrs. Allen would later marry Henry Keene and become a stepmother to Keene’s son, Leon Henry Keene.

A grand jury at the time indicted Baker for altering bank statements between 2015 and 2018, defrauding both of his companies and several commercial lenders.
Members of the companies confronted him with evidence of his alleged theft, but Baker lied and said a lender had mistakenly filed a lien against his business, prosecutors said in the statement last week.
Baker had once owned two properties in Green Township: a 2,800-square foot home and a 14-acre farm where a reporter spotted donkeys and other animals roaming
in late 2019. His name is no longer listed as owner of either site.
He also opened an indoor farmers market, named Arley Farms, in the refurbished Shoppes of Lafayette in November 2018. The market offered beef, pork, chicken and eggs along with fresh vegetables and Christmas trees but closed after several months. The website and Facebook page have been taken down.

Alma has received multiple awards from the River Valley Master Gardeners. These awards include RVMG Project of 2020, Business Friend of the RVMG Award, and two locals also received awards.
The Popeye Garden in downtown Alma received the Project of the Year Award. Once known as the Spinach Capital of the World because of the now-closed Allen s Inc. vegetable cannery, Alma still holds a special place for spinach eaters, and the famous cartoon character who ate spinach to gain super powers. The garden was built in 2007 and features a bronze statue of the cartoon character Popeye standing in a fountain in the middle of the garden. Many volunteers have worked over the years to keep the garden in the best shape possible.
