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.

  • VIRAL ART Exhibition Guide
    VIRAL ART Exhibition Guide VIRAL ART is an exhibition focusing on this last year and the universal pandemic (COVID-19) which has affected many different aspects of life, one of which is evident in the artistic world. COVID-19 has forced many artists to open up to new avenues of expression in many different disciplines; visual art, music, performing arts, photography, fashion, and literature. Some of the main goals for our exhibition are to bring light to how the pandemic has affected all corners of life, especially in regard to artistic capability/expression, and further, illustrate how certain artists captured the essence and experience of COVID-19. Introduction by Taylor Weaver I wanted to start by saying how grateful I am to have been able to lead this exhibition project with the help of Mirea Suarez. I am so proud of each and every one of the girls and hope you can see how hard they have all worked to make this possible. So welcome to our exhibition which we have titled Viral Art! I would like to note that some of the pieces, such as music are slightly more interactive, for example one of the music pieces is a live DJ set and is an hour and a half in total in the event you are interested in watching more – we will only briefly show certain pieces We would like to preface this exhibition by giving a small dedication to those whose lives have been affected by COVID-19. We thought it would be most appropriate to say a few words to front line workers such as those in the healthcare industry who have dedicated their lives to fighting this virus, essential workers such as those in the food (and or) agriculture industry who prepared meals for those in need during these stressful times, Research Methods Fall 2020 Taylor Weaver, Mirea Suarez, Cristina Ponce de Leon, Sophie Schaesberg, Sydney Levno, Annamaria Borvice, Marta Belogolova VIRAL ART Exhibition Guide volunteers, and of course, to all who lost their lives to COVID-19 or people who have lost family members.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus caijse a blurred image. You will find a good image of die page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etif., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet ang to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below tf e first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that thetextual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Who are the people? The faceless masses? The people without power? I have noticed from an early age when the struggle for African independence com- menced, to this day, everybody, uses the “people” or rather “Power of the people”, and then dumps them, powerless there- after. I am intrigued by the innocence, the naivety, the plight of the people without the power. The power lies in the people in electing the elected official.

  • Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana's Adinkra Cloth
    Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana’s Adinkra Cloth by Allison Joan Martino A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Raymond A. Silverman, Chair Professor Kelly M. Askew Assistant Professor Nachiket Chanchani Professor Emeritus Elisha P. Renne Allison Joan Martino [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-1252-1378 © Allison Joan Martino 2018 DEDICATION To my parents. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the summer of 2013, I was studying photography and contemporary art in Accra, Ghana’s capital. A conversation during that trip with Professor Kwesi Yankah changed the course of my research. He suggested a potential research project on adinkra. With adinkra everywhere in Ghana today, research possibilities seemed endless. Adinkra appealed to me from my interest in studying Akan visual and verbal arts, a research area nurtured during an ethnopoetics course that Professor Yankah taught as a visiting scholar at Michigan in 2011. That conversation led to this project. Soon after that meeting with Professor Yankah, I took an exploratory research trip to Kumasi. Professor Gilbert Amegatcher, who has a wealth of knowledge about Akan arts and culture, traveled with me. He paved the way for this dissertation, making key introductions to adinkra cloth makers who I continued to work with during subsequent visits, especially the Boadum and Boakye families. My sincerest thanks are due to Professors Yankah and Amegatcher for generating that initial spark and continuing to support my work. Words cannot express my gratitude to the extended members of the Boakye and Boadum families – especially Kusi Boadum, Gabriel Boakye, David Boamah, and Paul Nyaamah – in addition to all of the other cloth makers I met.

    AKUTIA: BLINDFOLDING THE SUN AND THE POETICS OF PEACE A RETROSPECTIVE OF AGYEMAN OSSEI (DOTA) Message from the Artistic Director of SCCA Tamale Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA Tamale) is an artist-run project space that provides a platform for lively explo- ration of modern and contemporary art. The initiative for this came from Ibrahim Mahama, the world-renowned Ghanaian art- ist, who is inspired by the transformative potential of art to affect society. Located in different sites in the city of Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana, SCCA Tamale, with its offshoot Red Clay, car- ries forward that mission by making the institution an open and active place that promotes access to artistic, scientific, cultural education and experiences through its varied programmings. The institution thinks and acts both locally and internation- ally. Taking a cue from the cross-generational interactions stim- ulated by blaxTARLINES KUMASI, of which it is affiliated, the institution has dedicated a decade to show a retrospective of precursors to the New School; moments that would allow peo- ple of all ages and social backgrounds to meet and exchange experiences, starting with its maiden exhibition: In pursuit of Something ‘Beautiful’, perhaps… (A Retrospective), honouring the Ghanaian Modernist artist Galle Winston Kofi Dawson, curated by Bernard Akoi-Jackson in 2019 at the SCCA Tamale gallery. This initiative is also about contextualising and docu- menting practices which might not be in the spotlight yet are significant. This year, SCCA Tamale, together with Red Clay, will show Akutia: Blindfolding the Sun and The Poetics of Peace (A Retrospective of Agyeman Ossei ‘Dota’).
