2D El Paso Times Tuesday, June 13, 2006 CONTINUED FROM ID Summer trying time for tweens Children also pick up on par Gala For the record The Centers for Disease Control says that in 45 years of DEET insect repellent use, reports of adverse effects are rare. From 1961-2002, 17 cases were reported with significant toxicity from DEET exposure 14 of them involving children under age 8. The most common symptoms were lethargy, headaches, tremors, involuntary movements, seizures and convulsions. ents' cues when it comes to applying sunscreen and wearing protective gear for sports. "The recommendation to stay out of the sun between 10 (a.m.) and 3 (p.m.) isn't really practical or even possible in the summer," Neifert says.

"But please don't let the tween girls bake themselves!" Parents should make it a habit of regularly reapplying sunscreen so their kids will follow suit, she suggests. Those same parents should wear helmets when they go bike riding and wear lifejackets on boats, she adds. The buddy system is the only way tweens should go swimming, Neifert says, and they're old enough to learn CPR, so they could help a friend in an emergency. Some risks, though, are completely out of a parents' control bug bites, for one. Most are simply itchy or annoying but some could result in illnesses ranging from Lyme disease to West Nile virus.

Neifert's stance: "I am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The group does recommend insect repellent with DEET but not for newborns. I respect parents' opinions about DEET, but it is more effective. In wooded areas where there are ticks, check your children's bodies for ticks every day. For Lyme disease, ticks have to be embedded for a while." For more information: www.aap.org or www.pta.org.

The Victory Warriors are hoping to provide gifts and free passes for 350 or more youth throughout El Paso County, Redic said. Thelma Bertley, program coordinator for the gala, said it is important that those participating in the performances form a diverse group. "It's not just limited to African-Americans," Bertley said. "By presenting the culture in this way, they are all learning about it." Several other Juneteenth events in El Paso this week will center on lectures by Dr.

William Loren Katz who wrote "The Black West: A Documentary and Pictoral History of the African American Role in the Westward Expansion of the United States." The book was first published in 1971 and the new edition has new, never-seen photos and a revised text that further explains the important role played by black men and women on the frontier. "This is a great opportunity for El Paso to be included and learn information about an important time in the Southwest," said Gene Muller, professor of history at the El Paso Community College's Valle Verde Campus.

Younger kids are more likely to be closely watched by parents, and older teenagers have some decision-making skills and experience, says Dr.

Marianne Neifert, a Denver-area pediatrician. But children in their pre-and early teen years, the "tweens," are particularly at risk for heat exhaustion, sunburn and too much TV, says Neifert, who worked with the National PTA to interpret the results of a survey of parents' concerns about summer safety. Of the 542 parents with children ages 10-13, 25 percent said they are extremely or very concerned about their tween's health during the summer months, with 35 percent citing possible heat exhaustion as a top concern. Other issues on parents' minds are tweens' sedentary lifestyles, water safety, sunburn and exposure to infectious diseases. The poll, "Summer Break What's at Stake" was funded by pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline.

"Heat? It's sort of surprising that's at the top of so many lists but there are so many stories about kids suffering problems at football camps," says Neifert, who also is a clinical professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. "The answer is to carry a water bottle at all times. If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated, so drink before a demanding activity. "It's also OK to stop for a Pop-sicle." Children in this age range often don't know if they're pushing their bodies too hard, Neifert says, especially if they're engaged in a competition of some sort. Younger kids usually will take the break they need.

The issues parents raised in the survey often can be tackled by prevention, notes Anna We- fr "'Ml selak, National PTA president. But just like children, parents often relax their own rules and routines over the summer. Yet, she says, parents are the model for so many behaviors. "It's easier to wake up late and say, 'I'll skip breakfast and wait for Then so will your kids. Parents also may let up over the summer on illness.

They think you don't have to be worried about colds and flus, but they're around all year. And travel is a breeding ground for illness." But summer also can be a season of positive change. "Get up and moving," Neifert says. "Do it as a family, go for a hike or go swimming. Establish new behaviors that can be carried forward in the fall." "I can't overemphasize the theme of the parents' model.

I love it. I'm the biggest cheerleader, as long as I have a place to get away from it. That's why I keep my apartment in New York," he says, adding "MTV has promised me a full security detail." "Where My Dogs At?" is part of a new block of animated programming on MTV2 called Sic'Fmation, which is aimed primarily at fans of the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming, men 18 to 34 years old. "The Adventures of Chico and Guapo" is also part of the MTV2 by actor Orlando Jones, the comedy follows two clueless interns at a New York recording studio who are trying to get ahead in the music industry. Sic'Emation will be rounded out by new episodes of "Celebrity Dcathmatch" and classic "Beavis and Butt-head."

MTV2 recently premiered "Where My Dogs an animated comedy from Ross that pokes fun at the antics of Hollywood royalty. The program will repeat Fridays on MTV. Ross and "Saturday Night Live" alum Tracy Morgan provide the voices of Buddy and Woof, two stray pooches lost in Hollywood.
