According to the arrest report, Heldenbrand, 42, stole the money from Simmons and office partner Dr. Ernest J. Gesiotto while she worked as their office manager and bookkeeper. She reportedly forged her name on their business checks and then deposited the funds into her personal banking account. Simmons told police that when he confronted Heldenbrand about the thefts, she admitted that she had committed the crimes over a period of about 1 1/2 years, which is the length of time she was employed there. Simmons reported this to the police Feb. 8. A police investigation revealed well in excess of 10 business checks of Simmons that had been made payable to cash, with Simmons' signature forged on them. They were endorsed "For Deposit Only" to the personal account of Heldenbrand and her husband. In a sworn statement, Simmons identified the check signatures as forgeries, and said that he never gave Heldenbrand permission to make out the checks, sign his name on them or deposit them Kenneth Rodway checks the damage to the pier and the "Ruwach."

  • James Matthew Wilson on a Cocktail Umbrella He Didn't Know the Place
    James Matthew Wilson On a Cocktail Umbrella He didn’t know the place and sat alone, Braced between stool and bar, and drank his beer, A crowd of lilting voices just behind him. Five men, theatrical with their fay gestures, He watched them through the bottle-crowded mirror And knew the show that they were putting on. A game played on a set above his head, Its mass of muted faces crying out A warning he should leave. He had no place To go, and concentrated on his glass, The Bass Ale logo scratched away with washing, As if it were a thing of seriousness. Headlights from cars on 9th flashed in And turned its shadow clockwise over and over. The bar man’s shadow called him back, and, plunk, There, on the wood, before him now, a goblet Whose big-mouthed bowl was facetted and held A liquid, ruby dark with grenadine. The lip was loaded down with chunks of fruit, Orange slices twisted to a kind of writhing, Pineapple floating in a sea of ice cubes. And primly propped, surmounting all, a red Cocktail umbrella, fragile ribs outspread, And marked in gold with Chinese characters. “This one’s on your admirer,” he said. “My what?” he asked the barman, who had turned Away and pushed his towel down the rail To sop what this gargantuan mess had spattered. The room was long and narrow, hot with bodies, But open to the street so traffic sounds Passed over bunched up voices in the booths, Those bright and fawning laughs behind his back.
