Herald Staff A Dauphin woman charged with stealing $22,000 from local Canadian Union of Public Employees (CURE) coffers was sentenced March 4 to serve a 90-day jail term on weekends with three years probation and to repay the money. Investigation by Commercial Crime unit RCMP officers revealed Audrey Dolhun, 50, wrote about 80 cheques for herself and family members while serving as secretary for the union. Cheques were written while Dolhun was on vacation, and expenses were attributed to conventions and workshops she never attended, said Crown Attorney Neil Peterson during the sentencing. Included in misappropriated money was $2,500 Calhun gave to her daughter. ‘Examination of her bank records show deposits correspond with money unaccounted for in union accounts,” Peterson said. But because of incomplete financial records, the investigation was limited to the period of Sept. 1, 1990, to Sept. 30, 1992. Union officials claim the amount of money that went missing while Dolhun worked for them is much higher than what RCMP claim. Dolhun pleaded guilty to the charges after a lengthy stay of proceedings. She was charged last December with theft over $1,000. Dalhun’s lawyer Eric Irwin said she stole the money after experiencing financial and family problems. Dalhun will pay the restitution with money earned as a nurses aid at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre. She is currently seeking counselling for depression.
