Claire Daley of the 16th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and DA Bo Duhe hold a symbolic check to mark the St. Mary Foundation’s donation of $11,500 to juvenile justice programs. Daley and Duhe said the money will go to mental health services for juvenile offenders based on a recent finding that 30 percent of young offenders have some unmet mental health need. Present for the donation Wednesday at M C Bank were, front row from left: Janice LeBlanc and Alice Pecoraro of the foundation board; Daley and Duhe; and Kathy Bailey and Charlotte Mahfouz, foundation board members.
