Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Monmouth County Freeholder Lillian Burry were speakers during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Village in Tinton Falls. The building, with 70 one-bedroom apartments for veterans of the armed forces, will be run by the nonprofit organization Soldier On.

Ground broken for veterans village housing complex

round has been broken for the construction of the Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Village in Tinton Falls, a four-story building with apartments that will be available to veterans of the armed forces at a range of low and moderate income levels. The building will be run by the nonprofit organization Soldier On, according to a press release from the office of Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ). Smith was a guest speaker at the Sept. 12 ceremony. About 50 people attended the groundbreaking ceremony held at Liberty Park just north of the 12-acre project site on Essex Road. Officials said $8 million in federal funding will help pay for construction. The remaining costs will be financed by the developer and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. “Today construction begins on Soldier On and WinnDevelopment’s $23 million,

70 one-bedroom housing units,” Smith said. “Thank you Tinton Falls for welcoming the project.” Smith praised Soldier On’s leaders, President Jack Downing and CEO Bruce Buckley, for what he called their tireless efforts to help veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. “Soldier On, thanks to Jack Downing and Bruce Buckley, has created world class home ownership opportunities coupled with vital services for homeless veterans, and the impact has been enormous and lifechanging,” Smith said. “For the first time in years, even decades, many veterans will finally have a decent place to live and hope and prosper.” “I am especially grateful to Freeholder Lillian Burry for her extraordinary dream of creating a Monmouth County homeless veterans housing initiative, and for her tenacity and skill in making it happen,” Smith said.

“For nearly a decade, Lillian has been the quarterback in the push to meet the compelling housing and service needs of homeless veterans and there have been many setbacks along the way, including an inability to secure space at Fort Monmouth,” the congressman said. “I have been proud to do my part in finding a Monmouth County home for Soldier On and I promise you I will continue to be an active supporter as it moves from design through construction to the day it opens its doors and welcomes its very first veteran home,” Burry said. “According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, in 2001 there were 294,840 homeless veterans on any given night,” said Smith, whose 2001 law for homeless veterans first authorized funding for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veteran Affairs Supported Housing program. “Almost 20 years later, that number has

dropped to 37,085. Progress, but still far too many,” the congressman said. Among its many provisions, Smith’s law authorized, for the first time, a program which will be tapped as a major source of future rental assistance funding for veterans who will be living at the housing complex, according to the press release. Smith helped Solider On come to New Jersey in 2011, assisting the Massachusetts-based organization to obtain a $1 million grant in 2012 to help veterans in his district in Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties, plus Middlesex and parts of Mercer, according to the press release. That work later expanded to serve nine counties, adding all of Mercer, Somerset, Bergen, Hudson and Essex. Today Soldier On also manages similar veterans housing operations in New York and Massachusetts, providing 177 homes, with another 152 in various stages of development, according to the press release.

“For the first time in years, even decades, many veterans will finally have a decent place to live and hope and prosper.” — Rep. Chris Smith

This genteel lady never complained. She was never angry with me or our children, but only with herself. I believe she was aware of her erratic behavior, but was unable to say what was wrong. We selected a living care center that would tend to Vinnie’s specific needs. My precious wife has long since forgotten my name, but knew who I was. Sometimes she had moments of clarity and would greet me with open arms and say “I love you.” Other times she would state clearly, “I have something to tell you,” but again couldn’t tell me what it was. Otherwise she spoke gibberish. It is heartbreaking when she cries and holds onto me when I must leave for my bus. I can’t sleep in my own bed without her in it. I get up nightly to sit in her favorite chair and read her poetry or speak to her portraits. Yes, and sometimes I cry. Perhaps the thing I miss most is sharing our memories together. When I lost my birth family, I missed sharing our memories with them. When I told this to Vinnie before her illness, she said, “That’s alright, we’ll make new memories together.” We did indeed over our 69 years together, but now I am alone to re-live them. No man has loved a woman more than I love my wife, not Romeo for Juliet, not Marc Antony for Cleopatra, nobody. I recently collaborated with Elizabeth Browning to tell Vinnie how much I love her. She can no longer read so I read this to her on her last birthday: “How do I love you? Let me count the ways. I love you to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. I love you to the level of every day’s heartache when I must leave you. I love you freely, in sickness and in health, as I vowed to you when we were wed. I love you purely, from your 19th birthday to this special day, your 91st birthday. I love you with the breadth,

smiles and tears of all of my life, and if God so chooses, I shall love you even more when he calls us home.” I don’t know when we will lose her for the second and final time so I am spending as much time with her as I can. I don’t know what I will do when she passes. I can’t live very long without her. I can’t live without my soul. When I told this to my doctor at the Veterans Administration, she put me on suicide watch and gave me depression medication. I told her that wasn’t necessary for my religion prohibits such behavior. I also have the children I love and I’ll probably die of a broken heart anyway. I already suffer from PTSD, thanks to the Japanese suicide planes attacking our ships in Admiral Halsey’s Third Fleet. I also suffer from asbestosis from my time on two battleships and a cruiser as a Petty Officer-Radarman in World War II. But I am resilient and almost immune to pain after seeing my shipmates die, after the mysterious death of my 42-year-old

Holmdel officials name members of ad hoc human relations panel By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

Stop and Think.

Lottery is not child’s play. The New Jersey Lottery offers many fun and entertaining games, but these games are not meant for children. For more tips, information, and resources about playing the lottery responsibly, visit NJLottery.com.

HOLMDEL – The Township Committee has established the ad hoc Holmdel Human Relations Committee and appointed the initial group of members to the panel. According to a resolution, on July 28, committee members adopted a motion that established the new committee, pending a formal resolution, and directed the township administrator to advertise for residents who were interested in serving on the panel. During a meeting on Sept. 8, the Township Committee named the following residents to serve as public members of the ad hoc Human Relations Committee: Sarrah Buker, Francine Campis, Hannah Friedman, Carey Goldson, Michael Nikolis, Robert Shearer and the Rev. Dr. David C. Bocock. Deputy Mayor Cathy Weber was appointed as a Township Committee member of the ad hoc committee, and a representative to be appointed by Holmdel’s police chief will serve as a police representative on the panel. During the July 28 meeting, Weber was the elected official who made the motion to form an ad hoc committee on human relations for the development of programs to educate the community about discrimination, according to minutes of the meeting posted on the municipal website. The appointments took effect immedi-

ately and constitute the full membership of the Human Relations Committee unless further action is taken by the governing body. In other business, members of the Township Committee approved a professional services proposal from the township architect regarding a new firehouse that is planned to be constructed at the municipal complex on Crawfords Corner Road. The governing body approved a proposal submitted by Arcari Iovino Architects for work regarding the new firehouse. Earlier this year, committee members authorized Township Administrator Cherron Rountree to explore the feasibility of locating a new firehouse at the municipal complex. Rountree obtained a proposal from Arcari Iovino to provide necessary architectural services, including bidding and construction services, in a total amount not to exceed $78,750, and the governing body took action on that proposal. In a related action, committee members approved a professional services proposal from the township engineer regarding the proposed firehouse. According to a resolution, Rountree obtained a proposal from the township engineer, CME Associates, to provide necessary professional engineering services, in a total amount not to exceed $16,300, and the governing body took action on that proposal.

Freeholders call for local representation on Board of Public Utilities A By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

he freeholders who represent Monmouth and Ocean counties are calling on state officials to appoint a representative from the two-county region to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Speaking about the issue during a meeting on Sept. 10, Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone said a seat on the BPU will open this month. The freeholders who oversee the opera-

tion of Monmouth and Ocean counties say they want the shore region to have a voice on the BPU, which is New Jersey’s utility regulatory agency. In a resolution the Monmouth County freeholders passed during the meeting, the elected officials said the two counties are renewing an effort for representation on the board “following widespread and lengthy power outages from Tropical Storm Isaias which impacted the shore area on Aug. 4, 2020.” During the height of the recent power

outages, almost 359,000 Jersey Central Power and Light customers in Monmouth and Ocean counties were without power, in some cases for several days, according to the resolution. Ocean County is also serviced by Atlantic City Electric and 52,641 customers in Ocean County were without power after Isaias. The freeholders said, “Without a voice on the BPU, the Jersey Shore faces an uphill battle with the power companies in getting help for residents, whether it be from

a tropical storm like Isaias, other coastal storms, or failures on the part of the utility companies.” The freeholders said “lengthy power outages also hurt tourism, which is an economic engine for both Monmouth and Ocean counties.” In calling for the appointment of a BPU board member from the region, the freeholders said, “Coastal counties like Monmouth and Ocean have unique characteristics that the current members of the BPU are not as familiar with as a resident of one of these counties would be.” According to the resolution, the BPU currently has representatives from Essex, Camden, Morris, Somerset and Bergen counties. The freeholders said they “want the next opening on the BPU to go to a qualified individual from this shore region in order to assure representation of the interests of the residents and businesses of Monmouth and Ocean counties, and all shore communities.” In the absence of a member from the Jersey Shore, they said the BPU should designate a liaison to the Monmouth-Ocean region to address the growing concerns. Monmouth County Administrator Teri O’Connor said “the two counties have suffered through storms” that have left people without power for days at a time. “The BPU has five members who are appointed by the Governor and one term is expiring this month,” she said. Arnone said “the freeholders on both boards feel strongly” about having a representative from the Jersey Shore serving on the BPU. In other news, O’Connor said that for the 11th consecutive year the county has received a “clean audit” that did not reveal any problems with its financial management procedures or contain any comments or recommendations from the auditor. O’Connor said the results of the audit mean a corrective action plan is not required. “We run one heck of a good county,” Arnone said, and he thanked Director of Finance Craig R. Marshall and his staff for their efforts in managing the county’s finances in a manner that results in an unblemished audit. Letters to the editor may be sent via email to news@njexaminercom.

Holmdel committee accepts Riverside Music Sessions donation of ‘Alex’s Paw Park’ will be held in Red Bank park By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

HOLMDEL – Municipal officials have formally accepted the donation of a dog park that was constructed at Bayonet Farms, 41 Middletown Road. According to a resolution Township Committee members passed on Sept. 8, in November 2019, the family of the late Alexander Ching approached municipal officials with a request to pay tribute to Alex’s memory by constructing a dog park in Holmdel. Officials gave the Ching family preliminary approval to have the dog park built on a parcel of municipal land at Bayonet Farms and the family subsequently provided a conceptual plan to construct “Alex’s Paw Park,” according to the resolution. Family members and friends of Alex Ching fully funded the project and have agreed to ensure the longevity of the dog park for use and enjoyment by guests and their canines. Committee members accepted the do-

nation of the new dog park at Bayonet Farms from Ching’s family and said the facility will be dedicated as “Alex’s Paw Park” in honor of him. “The Township Committee extends its condolences to the Ching family for their loss, and gratitude for their generous and thoughtful donation,” officials said in the resolution. In other business at the Sept. 8 meeting: • Mayor Greg Buontempo made two appointments to the Holmdel Planning Board. He appointed Tom King as a Class IV member to fill a vacant seat through Dec. 31, 2021, and he appointed Derek Dailey as a Class IV member, serving as Alternate No. 2, to fill a vacant seat through Dec. 31, 2021; • Buontempo made two appointments to the Holmdel Environmental Commission. He appointed Randy Rauscher as a full-time member to fill a vacant seat through Dec. 31, 2021, and he appointed Janet Jackel as Alternate No. 1 to fill a vacant seat through Dec. 31, 2020.

“My heart hurts ... this really is the end of an era. So many memories of Emmett’s Inn.” “Bob was an absolute legend. His contributions to all our lives can never be fully expressed.

These days there is an Emmett’s Inn page on Facebook. Many people – those who performed there, those who worked there and those who loved and remember the nights they spent there – post pictures and memories. Garvey’s passing prompted many comments on the page. Here is some of what people had to say: • “RIP, Bob. You certainly had an impact on all lives you have crossed paths with and the lives who have crossed paths because of you. Your influence on the rock and roll scene will never be forgotten.” • “Thank you for giving so many of us fond memories of your establishment over the years.” • “Rock and Roll has lost one of the original Greatest Club Owners in NJ (sic).” • “Bob was an absolute legend.

Glad to have played there back in the day. RIP Bob one of a kind!” Garvey was a longtime resident of Monroe Township, a local real estate developer, a parishioner of St. James the Less RC Church and a member of Knights of Columbus Council No. 6336, Jamesburg. He was pre-deceased by two sons, Robert E. Garvey III in 2015, and Michael E. Garvey in 2019, and his brother, Kenneth Garvey. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Kathleen; two sons; three siblings; and seven grandchildren, according to an obituary posted online by the M. David DeMarco Funeral Home, Monroe Township. Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

New Jersey to provide opioid overdose antidote for free

Gov. Phil Murphy and Human Services Commissioner Carole Johnson have announced New Jersey will offer the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone (commonly called Narcan) for free to residents at participating pharmacies throughout the state from Sept. 24-26. According to a press release, New Jerseyans can visit participating pharmacies and anonymously obtain naloxone for free with no prescription and no appointment. Each naloxone pack contains two doses. The free naloxone will be available at 322 pharmacies, including locations of

Acme, CVS, Rite Aid, Sav-On, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Walgreens, Walmart, Weis Markets and independent pharmacies. For participating pharmacies, visit nj.gov/humanservices/stopoverdoses In June 2019, Human Services oversaw a free naloxone distribution at pharmacies that led to residents receiving 32,000 doses of naloxone, according to the press release. “The ongoing opioid epidemic continues to devastate communities across our state,” said Murphy. “By expanding access to Naloxone, New Jerseyans will have this lifesaving medication readily available to

help those who may be suffering from an overdose.” “This is all about saving lives. We urge everyone to visit a participating pharmacy to get a free pack of this overdose reversal drug because, quite frankly, you never know when you are going to need it to save a life,” Johnson said. The naloxone will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last, according to the press release. Naloxone can reverse overdoses from opioids by blocking the effects of opioids on the brain. Those who obtain naloxone

will also be given information regarding addiction treatment and recovery, according to the press release. Participating pharmacies have standing orders from the Department of Health for dispensing of naloxone. The distribution is a Human Services program approved by the New Jersey Board of Pharmacy. Human Services has also distributed 53,000 free doses of naloxone to police departments, 11,352 free doses to EMS teams, 1,200 free doses to shelters for individuals experiencing homelessness and 400 free doses to libraries.

Time For Tenet By Paul Hall

ime, as a construct, has always been a linear equation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that is always moving forward and we never have enough of it. We have afterthoughts and look back at what we may or may not have done differently. But what if someone developed the ability to go backward in time? To see events unfold and correct wrongs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to in essence change reality? Time is just one of the pieces of the new film Tenet. Director Christopher Nolan has long been known for in-depth and twisted journeys through the mind. His ability to engage the viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind is a big part of the split in opinions on his work. Do not think you can sit down to a Nolan film and not do some mental processing. And Tenet is no exception. Our lead character goes nameless throughout the film. John David Washington plays that lead character, and his lack of a name actually works in expressing truly the nameless occupation he has in the film. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a government agent for an agency that has him circling the globe on a variety of missions. His character resembles James Bond in a number of ways, from the exotic locales to the interactions with a variety of characters. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what the characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivations were, good or bad, he is always cool as a cucumber. The situations Nolan puts Washington in are explosive and action-packed. We are constantly thinking about what he could be up to in the grand scheme of the plot. As Nolan introduces Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki and Kenneth Branagh, the pace never slows. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in that pace that we lose ourselves and Nolan gets us off-balance and confused. That confusion can either be looked

at as a good thing or a bad thing, and will lead to some folks liking the film more than others. Myself, I like to have to think. I believe that Nolan is a master at making me think. But in Tenet, I did get a bit confused. I chalked it up to needing to see this film multiple times to really process it and it led me to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;What did I just see?â&#x20AC;? moment as the lights came up in the theater. Performances throughout the film are solid and on-point, from Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s icy ability to create a character who is nameless, to Debickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very real struggle with her relationship, to Branaghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s villainous behavior and Pattinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sidekick helping Washington accomplish his goals. The acting is spot-on and even when doing a caricature of their character, they are able to create the right atmosphere. Despite all the positives, the film as a whole didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as clean as many of the other narratives that Nolan has delivered. Still, a lower quality Nolan film is head and shoulders above many other efforts that hit theaters. And yet that is also a story with this film. The return to theaters can slightly cloud someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment. Moviegoers are dealing with concerns about real life, and to think this hard in a theater while under a mask and isolated from other patrons can create a unique bubble. But just maybe, maybe that bubble is about to burst and viewers can enjoy the effort on the big screen in front of them. I did. After many delays and the interruptions that real life can present, I really believe it is time for Tenet. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade: B Tenet Rated PG-13 Stars: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh Director: Christopher Nolan

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD

ne of the most iconic pieces of Americana is the Chevy Pickup truck. Chevrolet has been selling factory produced pickup trucks for almost nine decades – 89 years. Of course, the various shapes and sizes of Chevy’s modern day pickups are nothing compared to the very simple models that first hit the market in 1931. Nevertheless, the concept has remained the same – Peter Perrotta a truck with a cab and a bed capable of hauling a pay load and towing. Twenty-three years ago when my wife was pregnant with my youngest son, I was motoring around in a Chevy S-10 pickup (manual transmission). I loved that truck – as most men do. My wife, on the other hand, hated it. On one particular notable ride, she looked at me cross and said, “What are we going to do with this truck when the baby is born?” I hadn’t really thought about it up until that point. But, she raised a good point. There wasn’t anywhere to put a baby in that pickup. There was no backseat in its cab. Within a few days, I reluctantly traded in that Chevy S-10 for a more practical Dodge Caravan minivan. So it was with great pleasure that I recently got to spend a week behind the wheel of a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD pickup. Chevrolet first introduced the Silverado 21 years ago in 1999. It has been one of its

most popular selling vehicles ever since. Chevrolet actually enhanced its Silverado line in 2019. Much remains the same for the 2020 version. However, it did make it available with a 3-liter Duramax turbo diesel six cylinder engine for the first time in 2020 and that is the powertrain my tester was equipped with. The six cylinder Duramax turbo diesel engine works like a dream for this truck. It couples with its 10-speed transmission extremely well making for a smooth yet powerful ride. The inline 6-cylinder turbo diesel puts out an impressive 277 horsepower, which I found was more than enough to get it up and down the interstate impressively and do aggressive passing or lane changing maneuvers. But perhaps the biggest advantage of the turbo diesel Silverado is in its economy. While most of the regular fuel engines that Chevy offers for the Silverado get an average of about 17 miles per gallon. This turbo diesel blows that away. According to the Department of Transportation EPA estimates, the turbo diesel Silverado averages an impressive 25 miles per gallon – 23 in city driving and 29 on the highway. The EPA also estimates that this Silverado will cost you about $1,900 per year in fuel costs as it uses about 4 gallons per every 100 miles. The overall appearance of the Silverado has a tough, aggressive stance and look, especially with the Z71 off road package that my tester was equipped with. Inside, the cabin is very spacious and comfortable and not overly opulent so it still has a somewhat utilitarian feel to it even though this heavily optioned rig carries a pricey $61,720 price tag. The ride is typical of what one would expect from a large pickup. It is comfortable and powerful but not very athletic. My wife always quips that it is like “driving a

boat around.” Well you can’t criticize the Silverado for what it isn’t. It obviously isn’t a sports car. It has a big sort of clunky feel to its ride and handling – but that is to be expected. Where the Silverado excels beyond what any sports car can do is in its towing capacity and pay load. This Silverado can tow up to 13,400 pounds and can haul a pay load of more than 2,000 pounds – that’s a lot of heavy lifting. The base price of the Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD that I tested is $48,700. My tester was equipped with $12,925 worth of options. When you add in the $1,595 for delivery and destination, the bottom line comes in at the $61,720 tag. The options included $6,700 for the LTZ premium package, $2,495 for the upgraded Duramax turbo diesel engine, $2,125 for a technology package and $1,605 for the Z71 off road package. The LTZ premium package includes: leather seats; rear sliding power window;

power tailgate; heated front and second row seats; blue tooth; Apple Carplay; a Bose premium sound system and more. The Z71 off road package includes: twin tube shocks; skid plates; hill descent control; dual exhaust with polished tips all weather mats and more. In the government’s five-star safety crash test the Silverado earned an overall score of four stars. It got four stars for the frontal crash test, five stars for the side crash test and four stars on the rollover test. The infotainment system in the Silverado is in line with the standard system that GM uses in most of its vehicles. It is easy to use and not all that complicated to learn. My overall impression of this Silverado is positive. However, there is still a lot of competition in the pickup field with the Dodge Ram and Ford F-150 also offering impressive trucks as well.

Gloria Swanson Silent Film’s Highest-Paid Star By Paul Hall, ReMIND Magazine

orn Gloria May Josephine Svensson on March 27, 1899, in Chicago, to Adelaide and Joseph, Gloria Swanson was an only child. But she wouldn’t stay in Chicago long, as her fa-

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

LEGALLY SPEAKING John won the super lawyer award in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020*

NM-00440673

What’s in a name? You would be surprised with the number of people who use a name other than their legal name and who aren’t even sure what their legal name is. Knowing your legal name can be quite important, particularly when it comes to drafting legal documents, such as a last will and testament, financial power of attorney, or advanced health care directive. You don’t want your legal document to say “Jane A. Smith,” when your real name is “Ruth J. Smith.” Clients will also tell me that their daughters’ names include their maiden name when the child’s real name does not include the maiden name. For instance, Jane Smith’s daughter, Mary, may have married Fred Jones. Mrs. Smith will tell me that her daughter’s name is Mary Smith Jones, when, in reality, her name is Mary Jones. The client might say, “Just put S as her middle initial for Smith,” when Mary may have a true middle name given to her at birth. Some people use a confirmation name as a middle name. Some people just use nicknames as real names. All of these idiosyncrasies involving names can cause problems. If a person’s power of attorney says “Jane A. Smith,” but their real name if “Ruth J. Smith” and all or some of their documents (birth certificate, driver’s license, marriage certificate) confirm the real name, the agent under of the power of attorney might have problems using the power of attorney that identifies the principal as “Jane A. Smith.” Obviously, one of the best ways to combat these issues would be to use your real name at all times and if you like a nickname just use the nickname in your interpersonal deals, not legal dealings, such as legal documents and opening bank accounts. But life being what it is, people will continue to mix up their pseudonyms with their real names, and they will use their pseudonyms for so long and so pervasively that, eventually, they will forget what their pseudonym ends and their real name begins. So how do I draft legal documents for clients who aren’t sure what their legal names are? When the client comes to my office, she should think about her name. She should review her legal identification documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates. She should review her financial statements. What name do bank statements come in? The Will, the power of attorney, and the advanced health care directive should take into consideration the names the client uses. For instance, the Will might read “Ruth S. Smith, aka Jane A. Smith.” It may be better to simply not use a middle initial if the middle initial is in question. If Mrs. Smith lives at 11 King Street, Middletown, New Jersey, then the document could just read “Ruth Smith, of 11 King Street ….” If you identify her with that much specificity, I doubt a bank would give Mrs. Smith’s power of attorney agent a problem if a middle initial were missing. The important thing is to address the name issue in the documents. While family members may be able to overcome name discrepancies, it’s certainly easier to just address the name discrepancy in the document itself.

ther was in the U.S. Army and the family frequently moved. Swanson spent much of her childhood in Puerto Rico and never intended to enter show business, but at age 15, a visit to Essanay Studios in Chicago set things in motion. It was after that visit that Swanson was asked back as an extra. She proceeded to work with a variety of talent in the business, including Charlie Chaplin, for $13.50 a week. This success would lead her to leave school to work full time. Shortly thereafter, her parents separated, and she and her mother moved to California. Swanson’s popularity swelled as she appeared in comedies alongside Bobby Vernon. The two did multiple films in the teens, including The Danger Girl (1916) and The Sultan’s Wife (1917), that led to Swanson’s signing with Paramount Pictures.

At Paramount, she often found herself working with the legendary Cecil B. DeMille. It was DeMille who turned Swanson into a romantic lead and helped make her the most sought-after woman in Hollywood. Audiences longed to see her films for not only her work, but also her wardrobe. She was a trendsetter and quickly became one of the most photographed women in the world. When Swanson received an enormous offer from Paramount in 1927 to keep making films there, she decided to jump to the newly formed United Artists. It was the lure of being her own boss and making the films she wanted that appealed to her. The move paid off, as in 1928 she produced the controversial film Sadie Thompson. While everyone pleaded with her to make a commercially successful film, Swanson walked the edge with a film that pushed boundaries. In the end, Swanson would garner a Best Actress Oscar nomination at the 1929 Academy Awards and, proving that Sadie Thompson wasn’t a fluke, was back the following year with a nomination for her 1929 film The Trespasser. Arguably her most famous performance was as Norma Desmond in the 1950 release of Sunset Boulevard, which earned her a third Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win. All of this work reportedly earned Swanson $8 million between 1918 and 1929. Beyond the movies, she was featured on television and in theater, and penned a successful autobiography, Swanson on Swanson. There, the actress finally confessed to the truth of the longstanding rumors of an affair with Joseph P. Kennedy. The Hollywood Walk of Fame honored her with two stars, one for television and one for film, a culmination of an amazing career in the entertainment industry for silent film’s highest-paid star.

Holmdel’s Krause wins dad’s memorial race at Wall Stadium WALL TOWNSHIP – Using speed, handling and a strategy that included a late race pit stop for two new tires, Andrew Krause of Holmdel raced through the field in the closing 28 laps to win the third annual “Cliff Krause Memorial” presented by NAPA Auto Parts Modified stock car race at Wall Stadium Speedway on Sept. 19. Krause also won the first edition of the event in 2018, according to a press release. The race, which paid $7,127 to the winner, is contested each season to honor the man who is credited by most people for re-establishing the one-third-mile paved oval’s rich racing heritage. Cliff Krause passed away in January 2018. His family continues to operate the speedway. 2019 race winner Eric Mauriello of Brick Township was the first leader of the contest as Krause began his climb to the front of the 24-car field from the 12th starting spot. Mauriello fought off a host of contend-

ers, including Jason Hearne of New Egypt, Jon Mandato of Toms River, Tyler Truex of Little Egg Harbor and Howell’s Jimmy Blewett, through the caution-plagued first 79 laps. During a lap 79 caution, Mauriello and many of his fellow top runners ducked into the pit area for tires and Krause took over the lead. During the following 20 laps the new tires on the top runners’ cars proved to be important as the group tracked down Krause. Krause then elected to pit on lap 99 for two new tires and the added traction propelled him from the rear of the field to the front. Krause then wrestled for the top spot with 15 laps remaining before securing the lead and racing on the to emotional win. Blewett and Mauriello were second and third, while Steven Reed of Jackson, who was always in contention, was fourth, and

Truex was fifth. “I wish my dad was here to enjoy this win with me,” Krause said after the race. “He was my best friend and I miss him so much. He loved this place just like my mother and sister do. Wall Stadium meant a lot to him. I have to thank my family and everyone who works on the car for this. I think a lot of people were second guessing us when we pitted late for tires. I guess it worked!” Former champion Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y., won the companion 25-lap race for the Factory Stocks, grabbing the lead from Howell’s John Carpenter near the 20-lap mark. Elliot Wohl of Beachwood, Rahway’s Billy Both and points leader Bryan O’Shea of Neptune City wrapped up the top four. Carpenter was fifth. Points leader Ryan Maher of Neptune City raced to the lead on lap 18 and took his third win of the season in the 4-Cylin-

der Stock 25-lap race. Alonzo Morales of Burlington raced to second and early leader Ian Ashford of Farmingdale was third. Hazlet’s Sal Liguori and Billy Pross of Hazlet were fourth and fifth. Mike Alcaro of New Milford took the lead early and never looked back in winning the Legend Cars 25-lapper. Riley O’Keefe, Wall Township’s Rob Silver, Peter Bruno of Little Silver and Quinn Trimmer of Waldwick wrapped up the top five. The 2020 season continues Sept. 26 with the Modified stock cars racing in a 40lap event, while the Factory Stocks, 4-Cylinder Stocks, Sportsman cars and Limited Late Models are on the card in 25-lap main events. The pit area will open at 1 p.m. Grandstands will open at 4:30 p.m., qualifying starts at 5:30 p.m. and main event action starts at 7 p.m. Updated schedule details are available at wallspeedwayracing.com
