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.

    Clean Ocean Access 2006-2018 Clean Report IMPROVING OCEAN HEALTH AND BUILDING COMMUNITY ONE CLEANUP AT A TIME Contributing Authors Jessica Frascotti, Program Coordinator, Clean Ocean Access Eva Touhey, Program Manager, Clean Ocean Access Dave McLaughlin, Executive Director, Clean Ocean Access IMPROVING OCEAN HEALTH AND BUILDING COMMUNITY ONE CLEANUP AT A TIME THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 1 Page IMPROVING OCEAN HEALTH AND BUILDING COMMUNITY ONE CLEANUP AT A TIME EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Located in Narragansett Bay in the state of Rhode Island, also known as the Ocean State, Aquidneck Island has 69 miles of coastline and is home to 71,000 year-round residents, as well a destination for approximately 3.5 million vacationers every summer. It is a region of land and coastline with immense value and is known internationally for sailing, surfing, fishing, and the coastal environment. Since 2006, Clean Ocean Access has worked with an exclusive focus on Aquidneck Island to achieve its mission to act locally so future generations can enjoy ocean activities. Clean Ocean Access is guided by a vision of a healthy ocean that is free of marine debris, water that is safe for all ocean activities, and a shoreline that is accessible to the public. What started as small family-and-friend-led beach cleanups to address marine debris thirteen years ago, later transformed into monthly community gatherings to remove a wide variety of debris from the coastline. These initial efforts were the founding events of a grassroots approach for local environmental awareness. In the years that followed, an entire island-wide effort evolved, rooted in environmental stewardship.

  • The Development and Effects of the Twentieth-Century Wicker Revival
    The Development and Effects of the Twentieth-Century Wicker Revival Emily A. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in the History of Decorative Arts The Smithsonian Associates and Corcoran College of Art and Design 2012 ©2012 Emily A. Morris All Rights Reserved Acknowledgments Fascinated by the elaborately scrolling wicker of the late nineteenth century, I originally sought to research the role of wicker in turn-of-the-century life. Through Brock Jobe, Frank McNamee, and Richard Saunders, I learned of the widespread return of wicker to porches and home interiors alike in the1970s and 1980s. Eager to know more about the development of the twentieth-century wicker revival, I researched the interplay of wicker and American culture in the second half of the twentieth century to compose this thesis. I owe the utmost gratitude to my thesis advisor, Dr. Oscar P. Fitzgerald, for his willingness to support my ideas. His calm demeanor and consistent belief in my abilities have always been heartening. I also thank Dr. Dorothea Dietrich, Thesis Writing Workshop Advisor, for challenging my perspective. I am indebted to Brock Jobe, Professor of American Decorative Arts at Winterthur, Frank McNamee, Owner of the Marion Antique Shop, and Richard Saunders, Wicker Expert and Appraiser; for informing me of the wicker revival of the1970s and 1980s. Laura Richarz, SDSA Set Decorator, provided a wealth of knowledge on wicker used in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I also thank Ms. Richarz for discussing its use on the sets of films and sitcoms. Many experts on wicker and rattan furniture have bestowed their invaluable information, time, and hospitality in this quest.
