David Ettenberg and his family established the 100-acre
Camp Shane in 1968 as the first co-ed weight loss camp for
children in the U.S. When Ettenberg’s grandmother visited
the former bungalow colony for the first time her reaction
was “this is a shayna place,” which in Yiddish translates to
mean “beautiful,” and thus the name Camp Shane was
established.
About 500 campers can attend at one time and can enroll
for three, six or nine week sessions. Boys and girls are sep-
arate except during meals and some activities. Janowski
says an average camper can lose three to five pounds per
week.
The purpose of Camp Shane is “to help kids learn to live
a healthy lifestyle and to really have a solid self-esteem,”
says Janowski. “Self-esteem is everything. You have to feel Dietician/celebrity chef Diane Hendriks, also known as “The

Discussing Finances with
Aging Parents
W
hat’s the best way to broach the
potentially delicate subject of
finances with your aging par-
ents? “You want to ease into it one question
at a time,” suggests Jody Rorick, CPA,
member of the New Jersey Society of
Certified Public Accountants (NJSCPA)
Financial Literacy Committee. “A good
question to start with is ‘Do you plan on liv-
ing where you are in retirement, or will you
downsize?’”
Rorick suggests waiting until you are in
your mid-30s to offer advice, after you’ve
built up some life experience, such as by
purchasing a home or having children.
”Also, if the parents have several kids, you
may want to have the one with the best rela-
tionship with the parents, the one they trust
most, initiate the conversation,” adds
Rorick.

topics to discus include are your parents
legal documents, such as a power of attor-
ney, will and living will, up to date and in
order; what insurance polices do your par-
ents have – life, long-term care, disability,
health, etc. – and what is the coverage of
each; and do they have a retirement budget
showing income/expenses, cash flow and
emergency resources?
“As a son or daughter, you can best serve
your parents by knowing exactly what their
retirement wishes are, especially if an ill-
ness may be on the horizon,” notes Rorick.
“And be available to be a sounding board as
well as a watchdog during your parents’
golden years.”

Can You Rewrite Criminal History?
by Carmen J. Liuzza, Jr., Esq.
Y
ou cannot rewrite history – or can
you? One charged with or convict-
ed of a criminal offense or a crime
may request that the record be expunged.
Expungement treats the prior record as if it
never happened, with few exceptions.
There are many reasons why one may
wish to expunge a criminal history. In a
post-September 11th world, a criminal
record, or even an arrest not resulting in a
conviction, may prevent one from consider-
ation for employment or applications to rent
real estate. Similarly, many occupations
may require a professional license from a
government agency: for example, attorney,
realtor, nurse, certified public accountant,
school bus driver and cosmetician, just to
name a few. Depending on the crime, a
conviction could prohibit the issuance of
such a license. Also, a criminal record
could prevent one from obtaining a firearms
identification card, which is required for
purchasing a firearm. An expungement
may remove a criminal record as an obsta-
cle to employment, licensing or other civil
programs.
An expungement does not destroy or
delete a prior arrest or conviction. Rather,
the record is segregated so that it cannot be
accessed by an ordinary search. With few
exceptions, if an application for expunge-
ment is granted, the arrest, conviction and
any proceedings related are deemed by law
to not have occurred. This entitles the per-
son who has had a record expunged to deny
the existence of an arrest or conviction
when completing a job, school or other type
of application.
New Jersey classifies criminal activity
into two categories: crimes and offenses.
Crimes are more severe than the lesser cat-
egories of criminal offenses. There are lev-
els of severity within both categories of
crimes and offenses. New Jersey does not
classify criminal activity as a felony or mis-
demeanor, language often used by other
states. In addition, most municipalities
have their own laws, known as local ordi-
nances.
When applying for expungement, one
must wait a certain period of time after the
date of conviction, release from prison, jail,
parole or probation, whichever is later. If
an applicant has been convicted of a crime,

they must wait ten years; for an offense,
five years; and for municipal ordinance vio-
lations, two years. One cannot expunge a
crime if they have been convicted of anoth-
er crime or convicted of an offense on at
least two occasions. An applicant cannot
expunge an offense or a municipal ordi-
nance conviction if they have also been
convicted of a crime or convicted of more
than two offenses. Generally, the same
exceptions and bars to expungement that
apply to adults also apply to juveniles.
Certain young adult drug offenders can
sometimes apply in as little as one year
from the date of their conviction.
Motor vehicle offenses such as speeding,
driving while intoxicated, driving without
auto insurance or possession of a controlled
dangerous substance in a motor vehicle,
cannot be expunged because they are not
criminal convictions. Similarly, domestic
violence proceedings, applications for a
temporary restraining order or a final
restraining order are civil proceedings and
not criminal and therefore, they cannot be
expunged. Also, findings of not guilty by
reason of insanity or for lack of mental
capacity are not eligible for expungement.
Not every crime or arrest can be
expunged. For example, records of convic-
tion for criminal homicide, kidnapping, cer-
tain drug distribution crimes, sex crimes,
robbery, arson and related offenses, perjury
and like crimes may not be expunged. Also,
records of conviction of any crime commit-
ted by a person holding public office shall
not be expunged if the crime involved or
touched upon such office.
To apply for an expungement, one must
file a petition, together with a filing fee,
with the Superior Court. The applicant
must sign and certify that the information
contained in the application is true while
acknowledging that if it is willfully false,
the applicant may be subject to punishment.
The applicant does not need to show a par-
ticular need or purpose for the expunge-
ment. The Court will then sign an Order
scheduling a date for a hearing which must
be held between thirty-five and sixty-five
days. During that time, many government
agencies are entitled to receive a copy of the
application and be given the opportunity to
oppose the expungement. Those agencies
include the State Police, the Attorney

Any information provided by “Ask-the-
Lawyer” is NOT intended as specific
legal advice but is offered merely as gen-
eral information on a topic raised by the
questioner. If the questioner has a specif-
ic legal issue, he or she should immedi-

the Judge of the Municipal Court if the
applicant was convicted there, the County
Sheriff, and the Chief of Police in the
municipality where the offense occurred. If
the applicant was on probation or parole,
the respective department must receive a
copy of the application. If the applicant was
confined, one must also serve the place
where he or she was incarcerated. Victims
of criminal activity are not entitled to notice
and therefore are not served.
On the date of the hearing, if no agency
has objected, the Court can grant the appli-

appearing. If a government agency does
object, then the Court will conduct a hear-
ing to determine whether the objection is
sufficient to bar the expungement. If the
application is granted, the applicant will
receive a signed court Order, which then
must be served upon all of the previously

have requested that the FBI remove
expunged records from its files.
Although expungements segregate crim-
inal records so that they cannot be accessed,
some commercial databases now contain
more than one hundred million criminal
records. The commercial databases are not
always updated as quickly as the govern-
ment records and sometimes expunged
records now often turn up in criminal back-
ground checks ordered by employers and
landlords. Persons aware of prior convic-
tions and with knowledge of the expunge-
ment who divulge the existence of those
prior criminal proceedings commit a crimi-
nal offense. That offense may be punish-
able by up to six months in the county jail,
up to $1,000.00 fine and court costs.
There are many nuances when consider-
ing expungement. One should consult with
a qualified attorney when considering such
an application.

Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids
I
t seems that parents are on a continuous
hunt for healthy foods that kids will
actually eat. One of the simplest solu-
tions is to choose soyfoods as the basis for
snacks and meals.
Great tasting soyfoods provide essential
iron, calcium, potassium, fiber, and high-
quality complete protein for growing kids
and adolescents. There are a lot of soyfoods
that come from the humble soybean - soy
dairy-free frozen desserts, soy yogurt, soy
pasta, soy chips, soy nut butter, whole soy-
bean nutrition bars, and soy crumbles (meat
alternatives) are just a few of the options
available.
Soyfoods are rich in the nutrients kids
need and can be used to promote a healthy
diet that includes plant-based foods. Most
soyfoods contain no cholesterol and a mini-
mal amount of saturated fat. Soyfoods do
provide healthy fats, which help support
heart health.
Soyfoods also provide variety to the
diets of children who have certain food WholeSoy® yogurt. Not only are they get- chocolate, vanilla, banana and

M
ichael of Flanders will no
longer be one of the three chil-
dren in America who is obese
thanks to his encouraging family and a
camp who has taught him how to live a
healthier life.
The 13-year old attended Camp Shane
in Ferndale, NY, for nine weeks last sum-
mer and feels much healthier and confi-
dent than ever before. In existence for
42 years, Camp Shane is the
longest running co-ed weight
loss camp in the world for
overweight children and
teens.
According to recent sta-
tistics, the number of chil-
dren who are obese or
overweight in the
United States has
tripled in the last 30 years.
Childhood obesity
impacts nearly 1/3 of chil-
dren - such a concerning
percentage that First Lady
Michelle Obama has iden-
tified this as one of her
causes to help obesity in
the nation. Many of these
children also have high
cholesterol, high blood pres-
sure and diabetes.
“Seventeen percent are

obese,” says Ziporah Janowski co-owner of Camp
Shane. “That is a very, very frightening statistic.
“If parents don’t help get their kids get control of
their weight when they’re young, it gets worse and it
affects their health,” she says. “Their lives are in
danger. Kids are living a shorter life and it’s all
because of obesity. And as children become adults,
their health problems are overwhelming this coun-
try’s health care system and driving up medical and
insurance costs that are already unaffordable.
“This is a tough topic for parents,” continues
Janowski, and “often something the whole family
needs to address. When their kids are unhealthy or
in pain, they are too. We need to get the whole fam-
ily on track.”
Parents can help their children by sending them to
Camp Shane in New York. The camp fights child-
hood obesity by offering children ages 7-17 and
young women from 18-25 – a fun camp experience
that involves nutrition education, weight loss tips,
dieting information, fitness programs, exercise,
weight loss, self-esteem building, .optional cogni-
tive behavioral therapy. exciting activities and last-
ing friendships. The program is simple and easy for
children to follow.
The experience for Michael has been life-chang-
ing.
The eighth grader of Mount Olive Middle School
lost 48 pounds during the nine weeks he attended
Camp Shane, from the end of June until the middle
of August. He dropped from a size 40 and 262
pounds to a size 34 and 214 pounds.
Seven months later, Michael has maintained the
weight he lost from camp by eating healthier foods,
smaller proportions and exercise.
The camp “taught me how to eat good and how to
lose weight,” describes Michael, who attended the
camp with several hundred other children facing
similar challenges.
“It is a good experience if you are overweight,”
he says. “You can lose weight and get healthier from
it.” I thought it was good doing all of the sports and
also being around other kids that were overweight.”
Michael described a typical day at Camp Shane.
Kids awoke at 7:45 a.m., ate breakfast, had three
morning activities, ate lunch, had three afternoon
activities, showered, ate dinner, evening activity,
free time, and then to bed.
Activities include sports such as soccer, softball,
tennis, hockey, volleyball, paintball, swimming and
basketball; as well as nutrition and cooking classes;
exercise classes such as aerobics and kickboxing
and guidance counseling sessions.
Campers are given three portion controlled meals
a day with snacks after lunch and dinner. A typical
breakfast includes fruit, yogurt and a small milk; a
pizza bagel for lunch; and chicken parmesan with a
small salad for dinner. Snacks include fruit and 100-
calorie packs.
“I was hungry the first week, but after a while
you get used to it,” he says.
Michael used to come home from school and eat
anything he wanted but after attending Camp Shane
he wants to eat healthier food and smaller portions.
“I used to eat a lot of junk food when I got home
from school like candy but now I don’t,” says
Michael. “I eat 100-calorie packs, yogurt and fruit.
“It taught me how to eat better and eat healthier
than I have before,” he continues. “I eat differently;
I don’t eat the same things and I eat less. I try to keep
calories under a certain amount.”
Michael has also learned the importance of exer-
cise.
“I’ll go on the treadmill downstairs,” he says. “I
try to exercise everyday” whether it’s for 30 minutes
or for 10 minutes.
Michael realized he was overweight and had tried
other methods like Weight Watchers, but he says “it
didn’t work cause I’d just go off of it.”
Besides all of the knowledge he gained about
nutrition, Michael gained a lot more friends as far as
Connecticut and Florida and has kept in touch with
them. He hopes to return to Camp Shane this sum-
mer to see his friends and continue to reach his
weight-loss goals.
“I would like to lose another 35 pounds,” admits
Michael who is five-feet, 10.5 inches tall, so he
could weigh between 180-190 pounds.
Although he says he is still overweight, Michael
feels great about his accomplishment.
“I feel good,” he says. “I feel better about my
appearance; I don’t feel like people look at me the
same way.”
Michael’s mother, Mary, is so pleased how the
camp has helped her son.
“I would highly recommend it to anyone,” says
Mary. “It’s so important for these kids to lose weight
especially as a child before health issues set in.”
“Camp Shane saved my son's life,” attests Mary.
“Michael was extremely obese and on the verge of
becoming diabetic and with high blood pressure
(even though his blood pressure is still high) last
summer when he decided it was time to do some-
thing. Camp Shane saved his life by showing him
the health benefits of losing weight and keeping it
off by changing his mind and body.”
She says “the decision to send him was the best
thing we ever did. We knew we had to do something.
Our entire family benefited from his experience at
camp.”
Mary and her family got to spend a “parents
weekend” with Michael at Camp Shane in which
they attended a seminar to speak with nutritionists
and fitness instructors and experience a portion-con-
trolled meal.“We were full,” she says surprisingly.
“It shows to prove that we do overeat.”
Also provided is a Camp Shane Cookbook
“which we have used over the past few months. Our
family now makes a conscious decision about our
food choices” such as whole wheat breads and pas-
tas, turkey breast and chicken.

Help Us March into Literacy
T
he United States is one of the wealthiest countries in
the world and yet according to the most recent U.S.
Census data, over 12 million American children live
in poverty. Patricia M. Cunningham’s The Reading
Teacher indicates that poverty is the largest correlating fac-
tor of a child’s ability to read. All children living in this
land of equal opportunity are told if they work hard in
school they will succeed. Unfortunately, children growing
up in less affluent neighborhoods often do not succeed.
Research indicates they begin school with the odds already
stacked against them.
Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds show
up for school on the very first day and are already behind
peers who grew up in wealthier households. Children
Pictured are volunteers at the Hackettstown site. raised in poverty own fewer books, have less social and
in economically challenged households are experiencing
half the language exposure (616 words per hour) as the
average child from a working class family (1,251 words per
hour) and less than one-third than that of an average child
from a professional family (2,153 words per hour). Hart
and Risley estimate over the course of four years, “children
living in poverty would have experienced 30 million fewer
words than the children of professionals”.
Recognizing the devastating effect of poverty in a child’s
academic success is only the first step. This issue cannot be
solved in the classroom alone. Schools need to coordinate
outreach programs within communities and draw on volun-
teers willing to give their time and energy to improve the
lives of our disadvantaged children. Literacy - the ability to
listen, speak, read and write can break the cycle of poverty
and make a positive difference in the lives of millions of

Studies have demonstrated that these children have

Martial Arts “Hits” Big The 13th Annual

at CS Gymnastic Great Backyard Bird Count

T
o most children, a martial arts class
conjures up a picture of stern faces in
intense concentration. There is quite
a different picture if you were to stop in to
observe a “Shadow Ninja” workout at CS
Gymnastics, in Flanders. The room is filled
with high energy and lots of smiles as the
young students perfect their blocks, punch-
es, kicks, and rolls. The newly formed
“Shadow Ninja” program, developed by
Master Black Belt, Craig Mason, incorpo-
rates specific skills and strengths from sev-
eral martial arts styles to create a workout
that improves one’s general fitness level, as
knows how to make learning an exciting
encounter. Being part of the CS Gymnastics
fitness experience, the Shadow Ninja pro-
gram takes advantage of the many skill
shapes and training stations to allow for the
most safety conscious teaching progres-
sions. And while sparring may be a neces-
sary part of martial art disciplines, contact
amongst peers is replaced with individually
guided offense, as directed by Master Craig.
Since last spring, the “Shadow Ninja”
program has become a favorite for your
active, visual learner, who thrive on a
“hands on” teaching approach. For more

agility.

T
he 13th annual Great Backyard Bird
Count took place on February 12th -
15th. Families and nature lovers
across the country were asked to spend at
least 15 minutes outdoors on one or more of
these days to identify and count the birds
that they saw. The goal is to get people
interested in birds and nature, as well as to
provide information about the distribution
and abundance of birds from year to year.
The data collected will be useful for future
conservation plans.
The data collected by individuals will be
collected until March and will then be tal-
lied. In 2009 there were 619 species identi-
fied from the 93,600 checklists that were
entered by participants. These tallies as well
as online maps, lists, photos, and videos
from participants can be viewed on the web
site at www.birdcount.org.
The event is hosted by the National
Audubon Society and Cornell Lab or
Ornithology, and sponsored by Wild Birds
Unlimited.
This year in our backyard, my husband
Rusty was luck enough to encounter two
pileated woodpeckers, and I counted four
Northern Cardinals, three dark eyed juncos,
Two Turkey Vultures, two American
Crows, and one black-capped chickadee.
Photos attached are of the woodpeckers,
cardinal pair, female cardinal, and junco.

Movie Show Biz Started in New Jersey with Edison’s Movie Inventions
by Michele Guttenberger by Edison’s lab in West Orange. He wanted result was the Kinetograph camera and the nickel dropped into the slot, the Peeper was

N
othing is as exciting as watching
Oscar night from Hollywood where
the red carpet is rolled out and the
movie stars appear. However, California
was not the start of the movie studio indus-
try. New Jersey was the first in the entire
WORLD to have a movie studio. That’s
because, New Jersey had the greatest inno-
vations being generated by Thomas Edison,
his factories and his staff of inventors and
engineers.
In February of 1888, Eadweard
Muybridge, a famous photographer stopped
to partner Edison's phonograph invention
with his "Zoopraxiscope" machine to com-
bine sight with sound. Edison was more
fascinated with Muybridge’s moving image
concept than he was with his
Zoopraxiscope. He gave this idea to his
employee William K.L. Dickson. Dickson
an English engineer often pleaded Edison to
approve experiments for moving pictures.
Edison simply wasn't interested in the
motion picture ideas or even working with
Dickson initially but was swayed to give
him the project to work on in 1888. The
Kinetoscope viewer both patented in 1891.
December 1892 the first motion picture
studio located in West Orange NJ was
unveiled with a final construction cost of
$637.67. Thomas Edison was the architect
of this completely black hulking wood and
tarpaulin structure. He promoted it as the
“Kinetographic Theater.” But its comic
name the “Black Maria” (popular nickname
for the police paddy wagon) became the
name that stuck with everyone since the
structure was black too and had wheels.
Filming movies at the Black Maria studio
was real men’s work. The Kinetograph a
huge wooden camera was the size of an
average doghouse that Edison even called it
“The Doghouse.” The camera was so large
it took 2 men to move it. The studio’s roof
opened to allow the sunlight in. Sunlight
was the only light source bright enough to
register an image on the slow film emulsion.
If the sun’s light was on an inconvenient
side, the Black Maria simply rotated on
casters to face the best position.
New Jersey’s Black Maria studio
churned out the first movies produced in the
United States. They were truly short films -
none of them exceeded 30 seconds and they
were viewed like today’s MP3 players for
individual viewing only. The Kinetoscope
viewer also had a second name too called
the Peep Show Machine. For the cost of a
given a moment of personal entertainment
by peeping through a magnifying glass and
viewing the moving action of a 50-foot con-
tinuous loop of 35mm film housed inside a
wooden contraption. In 1894 the first
Kinetoscope (Peep Show) Parlor opened in
Manhattan.
Edison finally closed the Black Maria in
1901 upon completion of his brand new
glass-topped studio in New York City. But
the November 1903 Edison film, The Great
Train Robbery was shot at various outdoor
locations. It was a one-reeler action flick,
10 minutes long, 14-scenes, directed and
photographed by Edwin S. Porter. Not one
scene was filmed on the western expanse of
Wyoming but places such as Dover, West
Orange, Essex County Park, Orange
Mountains, and the Lackawanna railroad of
New Jersey. The movies studios may have
moved to Hollywood, but pioneer movie
history remains in New Jersey. You can still
view the Black Maria, the Kinetoscope –
Peep Show Machine; the Kinetograph –
Doghouse Camera along with some original
Peep Show films at the Edison Museum.

t is a well-known fact that children who
have good nutrition do better in school
than those who may arrive hungry. To
address the problem of hungry children, St.
James' Episcopal Church of Hackettstown
has partnered with the United Way of
Warren County and NORWESCAP Food
Bank to be sure the children in town's ele-
mentary schools come to school ready to
learn.
Each week, St. James' volunteers pack
40 backpacks full of nutritious meal and
snack food. The backpacks are delivered to
the schools where they are given to students
every Friday. The students have extra food
for the weekend and the empty backpacks
are returned on Monday.
