Instead, it's quiet and somewhat restful with warm tones dominating. "In television news, you're trying to make the audience relaxed and comfortable, the visual equivalent of dad telling you a story," Campbell said. "Television news must imply that what's going on is believable.

If you have a set like TV game shows and I've seen some game shows with real bizarre colors and sets they refuse to let the viewer relax." Campbell is normally a cameraperson for KGMB, and for all the right reasons. "I love it! It's the only job around that lets you go everywhere and meet interesting people." -According to KGMBnews director Jim Manke, the station was "very pleased to make the set design an in-house project, and Bob has done a terrific job." Campbell is more modest, despite having designed sets for most of the theatre groups in town. "You should actually call me the design coordinator. Linda (Coble) had some very strong ideas, and Gary (Sprinkle) suggested colors, and Phil (Arnone, KGMB hon-cho) gave me the space requirements. "Actually, space was the biggest problem.

There isn't a lot of it, so we had to make the set seem bigger than it really is. We did that by using a lot of horizontal lines. "And we wanted a Hawaiian feeling, so there are warm colors and a translucent window with a palm shadow on it. "It's very important not to insult the viewer.

Channel 9, which is No. 2 in the ratings, is going on at 5 and 6 and 10. Channel 4, which is No. 3, is going on at 5 and 6 and 10 too, plus 12. Channel 2, No.

1, is sticking with 6 and 10. Local television news is changing Monday for the first time in several years, when Channel 9, KGMB, adds a newscast at 5 p.m. The week after, Channel 4, KITV, follows suit and one-ups KGMB and Channel 2, KHON, with a newscast at noon. According to Jim Manke, news director at KGMB, it was an idea whose time has come. "We did some research in October of 1985 that indicated that there were the same number of people available to watch at 5 p.m.

as there was at 6, and that they preferred local news over national news," Manke said. "So we're taking what is a very productive staff and adding another outlet. "This whole thing came about because the competition announced they were going to do it, and we were coming up on a budget cycle, and the opportunity arose before us. Let's do it! So we moved up our time-table so we could get on the air first." The "competition" was KITV, which had been planning an additional newscast since spring. Said Paul Udell, news director at KITV, "I've been trying to get more news here since I got here, more than two years ago.

I'm a news kind of guy; I've been in the business for 31 years. News is the name of the game.

Step-by-step guide to save choking child BBIiiiiiiifev 4 V.

vm i i i wVe i ri By Patrick Young Newhouse News Service We hear a lot about adults choking to death, particularly from food lodged in their windpipe. But choking kills children, too, particularly young ones. More than 90 percent of choking deaths in children occur below age 5, and 65 percent occur in infants. "The incidence seems to be decreasing, but nobody knows says Dr. Daniel F.

Danzl, a specialist in emergency medicine at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky. He suggests the reason may be better parent education a greater awareness of the things that can cause a youngster to choke, and perhaps knowing how to save a choking child. The most common cause of choking in children, as it is in adults, is the aspiration of foods such as pieces of hot dog, round candies, nuts and grapes a small toy or other hard object put into the mouth. The American Heart Association suggests that the rescuer encourage the choking child to persist with spontaneous coughing as long as it's forceful. The AHA warns that "blind finger sweeps" of the throat are to be avoided because it may push the foreign object deeper.

The current issue of Patient Care, a magazine for physicians, offers this step-by-step guide to removing a foreign object from the throat of a choking child: First tell someone to call for emergency medical assistance. If you are alone and do not believe anyone can see or hear you, perform the following series of steps once. If the child is still choking, call for medical help. Then return to the child and continue performing these steps. For a child more than 1 year old: 1.

Place the child on his or her back. Kneel next to the child and place the heel of one hand on the stomach just above the navel and below the rib cage. 2. With the other hand on top of the first, push rapidly inward and upward on the child's stomach. Repeat a total of 6-10 thrusts, until the foreign body is pushed out.

The Heimlich maneuver can be used on an older, larger child while he is sitting or standing. 3. If the obstruction does not come out, open the child's mouth by holding the tongue and lower jaw between your thumb and finger and lifting. This will pull the tongue away from the back of the throat and may loosen the obstruction. 4.

If you can see the object, try to remove it with a sweeping motion of your finger. If you cannot see the object, do not try to find it with your fingers. You may push it farther down the child's throat. 5. If the child is not breathing on his own, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

If the child's chest does not rise and fall with each breath you give, repeat steps 1 and 2. Then try mouth-to-mouth -resuscitation again. 6. Repeat these steps until emergency medical help arrives. For a child less than 1 year old: 1.

Place the baby on your forearm, face down and with his head down low. Stabilize the head and neck by resting your forearm against your knee for support. 2. Using the heel of your hand, hit the baby four times on the back, high between the shoulder blades.

The Brothers Cozimero will appear at Saturday's Starlight Pops concert with the Honolulu Symphony conducted by Donald Johanos. The Waikiki Shell opens at 5:30 p.m. for picnics, and the concert begins at 7:30 p.m. The program includes original music by Roland and Robert Cazimero as well as other composers of both contemporary and traditional Hawaiian music.

Tickets are $7, $9 and $12 and are, available at the Symphony box office and all ticket outlets, and at the' Waikiki Shell Saturday from 10 a.m. until the concert begins. that has to be arranged for a full orchestra," he said. "The Cazimeros make tapes of what they play, they give me the tapes, I listen to them and write a lead sheet for each song. A lead sheet is simply notating the music on a score, something you don't need when you play by ear.

Then 1 put a symphonic background to it. I'm like an architect hired to remodel a house I didn't design. It's very much a challenge. "There's no positively accurate way to do a lead sheet with the Cazimeros because they'll play slightly differently each time. It's only an approximation of what they sing.

The Cazimeros have already harmonized their pieces, See PENA, Page B-5 Oingo Boingo's back Sept. 1 8 concert at Sheraton Waikiki Star-Bulletin staff Oingo Boingo, leaders of the new rock of the 1980s, will return to Hawaii for a dance concert at 8 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hawaii ballroom.

"You hear it in your head and then you write it down," Pena explained. That's probably how Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet," too, but it might not work for everybody.

Pena's system is to pack his score book into his van, park the van under a tree near the Waikiki Shell and start composing his own, or arranging someone else's material. "Then I'll go home and check it on the piano, Usually I don't have to change anything because I wrote down just what I heard," he said. phony, is also one of its arrangers. "Basically, Hawaiian music isn't written down, it's played by ear. You don't arrange Beethoven because he composed from an orchestral standpoint.
