Children’s home recovers after theft at Mount Vernon charity
Joyce M. Harlow, former business manager of the United Methodist Children’s Home in Mount Vernon, was sentenced to seven years for theft over 100000 and four years on two forgery counts, all concurrent. The home, serving about 170 children daily, says insurance covered the 486000 loss and a nearly 400000 chapel project broke ground, with steadfast donor support amid the case. Rich Nelson, the director, stresses the program’s resilience and continued services for abused and neglected youths.

Perry County Board OKs Matching Me Too Bonuses
Perry County commissioners approved matching $500 bonuses for county staff under a me too clause after Circuit Clerk Nick Dolce gave his office employees $500 bonuses. State's Attorney David Stanton noted the judiciary controls those employees and the county cannot rescind the payments. Dolce defended the bonuses citing hard work and lack of raises, while critics highlighted office supply donations and prior pay adjustments affecting staff.
