The activity was supervised by counselors who lacked water safety and communication equipment. No one should deliberately go into water fully dressed. No counselor should be in charge of aquatic activities without being fully trained in lifesaving techniques and properly equipped with rescue tools, which should include a cell phone to call for help.

Any waterway can become hazardous if, for example, a child falls from a boat, a child panics while swimming or develops a cramp. Any time children are taken out in boats, especially if the water is rough or some of the children are weak swimmers, they should wear life jackets. Even a child who is a competent swimmer must be supervised at all times and should be assigned a buddy to swim with. If children are taken to water outside the camp, that area should have a permit, which ensures the presence of safety equipment, float lines and qualified lifeguards. Be sure to ask about the ratio of counselors to campers (the younger the child, the fewer children should be assigned to each counselor) and the age of the counselors and the training they receive.

Parents may consider talking to counselors from the previous summer to be sure they are getting the true picture. With all the specialized camps now in existence, parents can no longer assume campers will be participating in regular physical activity. So be sure to ask what kinds of activities will be available and how often children will participate. Also, Walton advised, if the camp specializes in a sport, find out if the trainers and coaches are prepared to handle sprains, strains, heat illness and other health emergencies. Ask about the menu If the camp offers especially risky activities like horseback riding or adventure hiking, are the instructors specially trained in both safety measures and first aid? As Schmidt discovered, if you care at all about how well your child is nourished, it pays to ask about the camp's usual menus and how often salads, vegetables (other than fries) and fresh fruit are offered.

Fruit drinks are no substitute for fruit juice, and neither is a proper replacement for milk. If your child has special dietary needs, how well can these be met? If a child has a chronic health problem or requires regular medication, how will the camp handle this? Are there proper storage places for the medicines and staff members competent to administer them? For children with potentially life-threatening allergies or asthma, will they be able to keep EpiPens or inhalers with them at all times? What about health insurance? Will your existing policy cover your child if medical care is needed, or do you need to buy additional insurance? Finally, how prepared is the camp to meet a child's emotional needs? Can children call home if they are homesick? Is there someone on the staff able to handle conflicts that may arise between two or more campers? For more guidance in this area, consult "The Summer Camp Handbook" by Dr. Christopher Thurber and Dr. Jon Malinowski, both psychologists and friends of Walton's since the three attended summer camp together years ago.

A body that might have be designed for a much longer life span is still subject to what it has been through. There is a point that there is no cure for the bad circulation or congestive heart failure and the swellings and sores that come from these. There isn't a pill to make it all go away and certainly for those ailments that are not immediately life-threatening or as painfid as those born by others who die each day with pain and knowledge of their demise.

13103 We had a good time last night in Emeryville. Lou is tired and apprehensive about this trip to Ohio, but he always is just before a public appearance. Thank God for Todd. I saw them safely board the train and had a hug and kiss from Lou. 21003 I've been the lucky one.

I get to keep so busy with phones, faxes, and e-mails, that I don't have to face that Lou's death is real. Finally, early this morning, I dreamed of Lou again. I was in our little office and holding one of his beautiful books, wondering where he would expect to find it. He came to the doorway smiled and said "I hope you have a nice holiday" gave me a hug, and was gone. just built a straw bale house in the Mojave Desert no air conditioning or heat needed.

He bought a diesel car whose engine could be converted to run on vegetable oil. And he used non-tree paper in his printer and copier. Harrison considered musical composition an endlessly absorb-ing game: one with fixed rules of his own devising, but that were nevertheless binding. Even his freest-sounding pieces have a rigid structural skeleton. Though the listener may not hear the rules by which the music was composed, a coherence emerges from this strict compositional process.

It's a lesson for our own lives: freedom bounded by disci- pline. The Santa Cruz community is invited to remember the life of this extraordinary musician and human being on Saturday Feb. 22, 1-3 p.m. in the UCSC recital hall. It is my joy to arrange this tribute to a man who changed so many -lives my last gift to Lou.

31, 6:56 a.m., to Maria jie" Los Angeles Fragosso and Francisco Rosas, a 8-pound, bounce girl, Leslie Liliana In searching for a suitable camp for her 11-year-old daughter, Linda Friedman Schmidt of Franklin Lakes, N.J., interviewed at least a dozen camp directors. Among her questions was one that parents rarely ask: Is milk served at every meal? The answer each time was "only at breakfast." What did the children get to drink at other times? Fruit drinks and water. Schmidt was appalled. With children spending four to eight weeks at camp, one glass of milk a day assuming they drank their milk at breakfast is hardly enough to meet a child's calcium needs. This experience proved to Schmidt that parents concerned about the well-being of their children cannot be too careful in checking out summer camps.

Of course, the big concern is safety. But since children probably complain more about food than anything else about camp, it makes sense for parents to investigate the kinds of meals that are served and, if a child has food allergies or special dietary needs, whether the camp can oblige. More than 10 million American children go to camp each summer. As registration deadlines approach, parents anxious to find the right match for their children may neglect to check thoroughly into safety aspects: how well prepared is the camp to protect children from harm and cope with emergencies and routine health problems. Matter of trust Parents planning to send their children away for a joy-filled summer are not inclined to think "emergency." But they should not take safety for granted.

Dr. Edward Walton, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist at the University of Michigan Health System, advises, "When choosing a camp, parents need to make sure they're comfortable entrusting organizers with their child's health." Walton recently completed a study of 129 camps in Michigan, which, requires a health officer in each camp and first-aid training for many staff members. His study revealed that half of the camps had health officers with paramedic training or less, and about half had registered nurses. More than a third said it would take 10 minutes or longer for an ambulance to get to the camp, and two-thirds said the ambulance would take a child to a small or rural hospital. Walton says parents need to find out about the camp medical staff and the nearby medical facilities.

They also need to know who supervises the children, especially on risky outings; the age of these supervisors; and the emergency training they have. Parents should realize that even if a camp is accredited by the American Camping Association, this is a voluntary program. Each camp must comply with 26 mandatory standards (as applicable to the nature of the camp) and demonstrate substantial compliance with about 300 other industry standards, divided into 10 sections. To be accredited, a camp must comply with at least 80 percent of the standards in each section, although any standards not met by the camp are kept confidential. Especially important are the safety measures and quality of supervision in aquatic activities.

Half the deaths that occur at summer camp are the result of drowning. In July 1998, for example, 10-year-old Jeremy Scheinfeld of New Rochelle, N.Y., drowned in an off-campground activity that required him to jump into rapids wearing full hiking clothing and shoes. Though Jeremy could swim, he was found 18 Sutter Hospital MILLAR Jan. 21, 8:46 a.m.. to Victoria Ruth (Cor-lei and David Stuart Anous Millar, Ben Lomond, a 7-pound, 13 ounce girl, Tess Juliet ADKINSOIBIASI Jan.

During intermission Lou was mobbed by admirers asking him to autograph their programs. I was squeezed out into the lobby where I overheard this exchange between an usher and an audience member. "Who is this person she asked, "Why is everyone lined up to talk with him?" "I don't know," replied the usher, "I'm waiting for Jerry Seinfeld." There you have it.

He would invariably respond: "Whichever way you want to play it is fine, my dear." This respect for others is a trait often cited by those who have met Harrison. He learned from everyone: from his colleagues within and outside music, from performers, and from his own students.

The numerous obituaries that followed Harrison's sudden death on Feb. 2 have highlighted the areas in which he will be remembered in music history texts: explorations of percussion music using found or newly invented instruments (often built with the help of his partner Bill Colvig), unusual tuning systems that lend a rich palette of intonation color to his music, and most importantly, his integration of Asian and Western musical styles. He sought a "trans-ethnic" music, bridging cultures. Harrison was uncompromising in his social and political convictions as well: pacifism, gay rights, preservation of nature.
