For Athol Mayor Darla Kuhman, the past year has been nothing short of surreal. Kuhman, who was elected to the Athol City Council in 2013, quickly found herself moving from the position of councilwoman to interim mayor when Mayor Lanny Spurlock took ill and eventually succumbed to his illness. When Spurlock, 76, passed away, the city council voted Kuhman into the office. That's when she started to find evidence supporting her suspicion that something was a little fishy at City Hall - she didn't know it then, but she was looking at an embezzlement scheme. Kuhman said as a councilwoman she asked the mayor and city clerk for information regarding the city's finances and was told that was not her responsibility/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.
