When you get the pictures developed, help your child put them into a scrapbook that recounts the visit.

Label the pictures with names, places and dates. This lets your child extend the vacation feeling after you've returned home and you all get a permanent record of your journey. Let the child pay for her purchases with her own money. If your child has an allowance, tell her any gift-shop purchases must come from her own pocket. This is almost a guarantee that purchasing will be kept to a minimum.

Somehow that $15.95 T-shirt doesn't have the same appeal when the $15.95 translates into several Saturday evenings of baby-sitting. Just say no. Did I already say that? I'll say it again. No. Practice that a few times.

Become familiar with the way it sounds. Then when you're being dragged toward the gift shop, say it out loud, firmly but gently, and steer your family in another direction. By the time you get to the parking lot, your child will not remember the item that only moments ago was as important as the next breath. Those small victories are sometimes all you can ask when vacationing with HERNDON from D1 usually wearing a little T-shirt proclaiming: "I Luv You." (I think the shirts should say: "Can you believe someone spent $12 for Our basement is home to boxes full of stuffed animals from gift shops in 10 states. We've called a moratorium on teddy bears.

Gift shops are sort of like mud puddles. If left to their own devices most kids will wallow in them. But unlike mud puddles, which the last time I looked were free, there's nothing that doesn't cost something in a gift shop. Of course, the folks who design these tourist attractions know all this. The National Aquarium in Baltimore has a traffic pattern that makes it nearly impossible to get past the gift shop: It's located right at the exit.

Unless you put blinders on the children, they'll be standing by the cash register before you can say Flipper. There are several ways that you can handle this dilemma some easier than others. Just say no. This is the most difficult one if the "no" comes while you're trying to drag your child away from the Mylar balloons in the shop. Depending on the child's age, the time of the last nap or meal, this can have disastrous results.

My husband once said the word to our then-4-year-old son, who reacted by racing IRiCfwdBasehart. KLsCeuldKI(PG-13, out into the crowds screaming, "You're not my dad!" a display that instantly branded my husband as a would-be kidnapper. Try explaining the situation to a security guard who comes to investigate. We now carry a wallet-size family portrait as proof that we are related to our son. Establish gift-shop rules early.

Before leaving for the zoo, make it clear to your children just what will be included in the trip where you will be going and what you plan to do. If your trip does include the gift shop, tell your child when you expect to visit it. Establish a dollar limit. If you decide that a trip to the gift shop is inevitable, make sure your child understands how much he or she will be allowed to spend. Then stick to that amount.

Establish a time limit. Again, if you've just spent two hours in a museum, your patience is probably wearing thin. Limit the shopping expedition to 10 minutes. That should be plenty of time to determine whether the shop carries a personalized hair clip with your daughter's name on it. (By the way, my advice is to stay away from personalized items.

The Michaels and Marys are always sold out, and you'll never find Morti-cia.) Suggest an alternative. Instead of buying postcards or posters from the S.3B Waiting for the light IPG.

But this South Philadelphia native, Wednesday, Aug. 12, noon to 6 p.m.

51, is a veteran of show business who jousts steadfast at windmills. Joseph hounds cable-company presidents, city staff members, advertisers and the media all to get some respect. All this despite some large obstacles: The cable companies cast technicians that houses the station for free in exchange for hands-on training there. When it's wet outside, the studio ceilings distill rainwater. On weekdays, technicians tune in the channel on an old television set and ready two camcorders to record Joseph's talk show, Philadelphia Open Mike, which airs at 7:30 p.m.

Mondays through Thursdays. "We're not cable access," Joseph says, "we're air access." Joseph is more enamored with his broadcast site, a several-hundred-thousand-dollar agglomeration of metal and wire atop the 37-floor office building at 1818 Market St. Antennas that look like futuristic lampposts point every which way except to the northeast: The FCC prohibits the "secondary" station from interfering with the powerful signal of New York's WABC-TV. Inside the building is the heart of Channel 7 a refrigerator-size of those buzzed-neck, oxford-shirt-wearing teen dancers on American Bandstand from 19S7 to 1961, when the show was still based here. As such, he became something of a local celebrity.

Then the 1960s brought a name change (he dropped his last name for show biz's sake) and his own TV show, RJ a Go Go, which first aired in 1966 on Channel 29. The show went through more changes than the fashions on Bandstand: It was syndicated nationwide in 1973 as America's Teen Scene Magazine, then as RJ and Company, RJ's Disco USA and Disco World. In 1984, shortly after disco had become a no-no many years can you do dance shows?" he says), Joseph tried unsuccessfully to syndicate a religious show titled Vision for Television. In Hollywood for seem uninterested in carrying the channel; reception of the station is nil in the Northeast, and it barely reaches homes 25 miles away in every other direction; the channel may be taken over in the decades ahead by a high-definition television broadcaster, and the commercial spots, which cost only $50 for 30 seconds, have few takers. wmr-im,) m.i h.i.i umj yu mi ymrn BSara Barbara 21034 Days of Our Lives 66134 Another World 34163 Joan Rivers 4541 Hunter ftm ftrfs 3676 A Current Inside Affar 4947 Edition 386 News Lovng AH My Children 43270 One Life to Live 94569 General Hospital 46893 Oprah Winfrey American News 9270 84544 55015 Indrans.

"Were not low-tech, were no- tech," says Joseph, who looks some what like the Beaver 30 years and many pounds later.

"We're here by the grace of God. But we've never been off the air more than a minute or two." Starting a nearly $1 million station Once a dancer on "American Bandstand," Joseph began his TV career as a music-show host in the '60s. with limited reach, oddball program much of the 1980s, Joseph represented young actors who were cast in youth movies, he says. In 1987, he helped cast Gemini: The Twin Stars, a B-movie filmed in Europe. The next year, he was drawn back to his life's theme, teens and music, and he hosted yet another syndicated transmitter with an old 12-inch TV on top that allows technicians to monitor the signal.

What the transmitter transmits is an array of black-and-white reruns, ancient movies and refreshing music videos. In fact, though the cutting-edge video programs are probably the most novel part of ming and an uncertain future was a seemingly impossible dream, but in this eighth month of its existence, Joseph is doing all he can to let the dream live.

But he quit the business and came home that year because he got a whiff of a dream: Channel 7 was authorized four years ago this month as part of a Federal Communications Commission program to get airwaves out to the boondocks and cable-style programming out to the urbanites who dont subscribe.

"It was my mother's hope that I someday get a little station," he says. It could have happened only at such low power 301 watts worth because the FCC almost never allows stations in nearby major cities to share the same In this case, New York's WABC looms at 110,000 watts on Channel 7. Since 1982, the FCC has approved 1,198 low-power stations. But the commission is slowing its low-power license grants to make way for high-definition television. In fact, almost half the low-power channels in major cities will be commandeered by big stations so they can broadcast HDTV within 20 years.

The big stations will keep their old channels until most viewers have television sets capable of taking in HDTV signals. The FCC hasn't decided which VHF low-power stations will meet death or power-reduction as HDTV is phased in, but deputy chief engineer Bruce Franca says, "I think in the major markets, it will probably happen" to roughly half of them. Joseph isn't fazed. "I have worked IS hours a day for the last two years to get this station on the air," he says. "I'm staying this road because I think it will pay off." For $200,000, Joseph and three partners bought the license for Channel 7 last year from its original owner, a Massachusetts investor.

More than $700,000 worth of equipment, rent and mishaps later, and Channel 7 is available to a majority of city rabbit ears 24 hours a day. Hitman uic ikTuiircu liiuugd crv-ice will not confirm it, Joseph estimates the station is viewed in more than 200,000 households a local low. The six-employee operation runs on a month-to-month budget of more than $5,000, and has yet to turn a profit. And because of hefty rents and few advertisers, Channel 7 came close to becoming Channel 0 at one time, he acknowledges. Joseph has since trimmed overhead and is airing "family" programs, such as the current rerun-showcase Golden Years of Television, that he hopes will make the station more attractive to cable companies.

"We're just happy to pay our bills," he adds. The Channel 7 studio in Center City exemplifies the station's hand-to-mouth existence. It is crammed into a back room at the Philadelphia Wireless Institute, a school for broad Channel 7, Joseph is "cutting the videos so I can be more attractive to the cable companies." He says they won't carry 7 because his free videos might undermine their new pay-per-view video-music programming. (The station hijacks the videos via satellite from Canada and is fairly immune from having to pay for the programming because the border can also be a jurisdictional wall.) As a part of its musical bent, Channel 7 also airs a lot of rap video. Viewers are treated not just to Hammer, but also to subgenres such as raggamuffin (reggae rap) and "gang-sta" rap that often elude the likes of MTV.

On a recent night, radical-rapper KRS-One and reggae master Bob Marley were seen back-to-back. But that's also going. Rap will be limited to one hour a night because it alienated some of Joseph's white, working-class audience, he says. Meanwhile, he accuses the cable companies of running monopolies that won't let him in the door: "They've denied access to our station," he says. "It's too hard to people to disconnect their cable and put up rabbit ears" to receive his station.

He has asked the city to pressure cable companies to let him in. And until lately, he has been calling the local media to get coverage and listings in television The cable companies say they make available devices that easily switch televisions from cable to the airwaves. They deny that Channel 7's music videos would be a threat to pay-per-view services, and maintain that there's simply no demand for the station because the cablecasters carry much of the same programming. "We appeared on Channel 7 with him," says Tom Sharrard, vice president of Greater Media Cable, one of the three cable companies that serve Philadelphia. "We said, 'Anyone who is watching and who would like to 1 4 sve luio uii wuiac, kuu uo a pvroituu.

"I didn't receive one postcard." Editors at The Inquirer said they did not list Channel 7 in daily and weekly guides until its 24-hour programming adhered to its schedule. The daily paper began listing Channel 7's prime-time programs on Monday. Joseph, meanwhile, hangs on to his hopes that HDTV won't put him out of business, that cable companies will carry him and that the media will laud his lineup. In fact, he has loads of plans: "We may move our transmitter if we get a better building. We're going to bring back the local stars of Philadelphia.

I want to keep it family programming." And even Joseph, determined and quixotic, is a little amazed that Channel 7 is here.
