FUN IN THE SUNies under 6 months:

he AAP recommends thatarents avoid sun exposure andress infants in lightweight longants, long-sleeved shirts, andrimmed hats that shade theeck. When adequate clothingnd shade are not available,arents can apply a minimalmount of suncreen with at least

SPF (sun protection factor) tomall areas, such as the infants

ce and the back of hands. If anfant is sunburned, apply cold

ompresses to aected areas.

All Other Children:

he rst, and best, line of defense

against the sun is covering up.Wear a hat with a three-inchbrim or a bill facing forward,sunglasses (look for sunglassesthat block 99-100% of ultravioletrays), and cotton clothing with atight weave.

Stay in the shade wheneverpossible, and limit sun exposureduring peak intensity hours -between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.

On both sunny and cloudy daysuse sunscreen with SPF of 15 orgreater that protects againstUVB and UVA rays.

Be sure to apply enoughsunscreen - about one ounce fora young adult.

Reapply sunscreen every twohours, or after swimming orsweating.

Use extra caution near water andsand (and even snow!) as theyreect UV rays and may result insunburn more quickly.

HEAT STRESS IN EXERCISINGCHILDREN

Reduce the intensity of activitiesthat last 15 minutes or morewhenever high heat and humidityreach critical levels.

At the beginning of a strenuousexercise program or aftertraveling to a warmer climate,the intensity and duration ofexercise should be limited initiallyand then gradually increasedduring a period of 10 to 14 days

to accomplish acclimatization tothe heat.

Before prolonged physicalactivity, the child should bewell-hydrated. During activity,periodic drinking should beenforced, for example, each 20minutes, 5 oz of cool water fora child weighing 90 lbs, and 9 ozfor an adolescent weighing 130lbs, even if the child is not thirsty.

Clothing should be light-coloredand lightweight and limited to

one layer of absorbent materialto facilitate evaporation ofsweat. Replace sweat-saturatedclothing with dry clothes.

Games played in the heatshould be shortened and morefrequent water breaks should beinstituted.

POOL SAFETY

Install a fence at least four-feethigh around all four sides of thepool. The fence should not haveopenings or protrusions that ayoung child could use to get over,under, or through.

Make sure pool gates open outfrom the pool, and self-close andself-latch at a height childrencant reach.

If the house serves as the fourthside of a pool fence, install analarm on the exit door to theyard and the pool.

he current CDC and AAP recom-endation for children over 2onths of age is to use 10- 30

ercent DEET. Do not use DEETn children under 2 months.

en percent DEET providesrotection for ~ 2 hours; 30% for

5 hours. Choose the lowestoncentration that will providequired length of coverage.

mon eucalyptus has also beenhown to be eective.

BICYCLE SAFETY

o not push your child to ride2-wheeled bike until ready, about age 5 or 6. Stick with

oaster (foot) brakes until yourhild is ready for hand brakes.

Bring your child when you shopfor a bike, so that he or she cantry it out. The value of a properly-tting bike far outweighs thevalue of surprising your child. Formore information on nding theproper t, go to http://www.aap.org/family/bicycle.htm#choosing

Buy a bike that is the right size,not one your child has to growinto. Oversized bikes areespecially dangerous.

Your child needs to wear ahelmet on every bike ride, nomatter how short or how closeto home. Many accidents happenin driveways, on sidewalks, andon bike paths, not just on streets.

When purchasing a helmet, lookfor a label or sticker that says thehelmet meets the CPSC safety

standard. A helmet should be worn sothat it is level on the head, nottipped forwards or backwards.The strap should be securely

fastened, and you should not beable to move the helmet in anydirection. If needed, the helmetssizing pads can help improve thet.

SKATEBOARD, SCOOTERAND SKATING SAFETY

Children should never rideskateboards or scooters in ornear trac.

All riders should wear a helmetand other protective gear;wrist guards are particularly

important.

Skateboard parks are mto be monitored for saframps and jumps constrchildren at home.

houses, and bird baths helpact birds to your yard. Toact hummingbirds, planttar-rich owers and trumpetube shaped owers that are

ght red, purple, orange, and/ellow. I visited the gardeningtion of a local store and foundnts like whirling buttery gaura,ia spathacea (hummingbirde) and penstemon, all ofch can attract hummingbirds,teries, and bees, as well as aety of other benecial insects.

s are fascinated by bugs, andre are plenty of ants, beetles,teries, honey bees, ladybugs,

ato bugs, and worms along thetral Coast. It is important toch your child how to recognizeh insect (especially if yourd likes to handle critters),e they need to know howch insects might sting themare poisonous. If you have aetable garden, you could talkut which bugs are good or bads for your garden. Childrencatch and draw insects, build

wormery, or collect bugs to

examine them. They can makea bug jar using a glass mason jarwith holes poked in the metal lid.If your child likes parties, why notthrow a ladybug party (http://

www.bhg.com/crafts/party-ideas/themes/ladybug-party/).

Butteries are a big favorite withchildren. The Buttery Book:A Kids Guide to Attracting,Raising, and Keeping Butteriesby Kersten Hamilton (ages8-12) has directions for makingan outside caterpillar corral, abuttery tent trap, a butteryor caterpillar cage, a butterynet and a buttery hunters kit.

Another useful book is The FamilyButtery Book by Rick Mikula,which has projects and activitiesfor buttery lovers.

Butteries will visit your garden todrink nectar. They are attractedto plants by shape, color (theyprefer bright colored owers)and fragrance or scent. Keepthese suggestions in mind toattract butteries: plant owersin groups of the same color; plants

Family Liowers of dierent sizes sincelarge butteries need tall placesto land and tiny butteries needlow spots; select plants that havelots of nectar, and choose someplants that will provide larval plantfood for caterpillars (most eatonly one type of plant). Plantingmilkweed will provide food forlarval Monarch butteries, as wellas lovely owers in your garden.

So get the family out in thebackyard, and have some critterfun! You might be pleasantlysurprised by what you see.There are millions of types ofinsects, each of which is uniquelyadapted to its environment. Justlike people, the critters in yourbackyard are good at dierentthings. Its fun to learn that theweird green bug on the window isa leaopper (of which there aremore species than birds, reptiles,and mammals combined), whichfeeds mostly on plant sap, but

may also obtain nutriensoils and mud. Childredelight in learning the pcharacter of a critter, reveals to them thaliving being has its owin nature and makes acontribution to our world

our child struggles with reading,f his reading lacks uency, you

not alone! Many children learnead, but lack automatic decodingstrong comprehension. The

ndational building blocks (calledcessing skills) must be in placeorder to read eciently. The

mary processing skills for readingude: auditory processing, visualcessing, language processing,mory, and attention.

itory processing is your brainsty to correctly interpret sounds

sound combinations that areived by your ears. Phonemicreness is one aspect of auditory

cessing and it is the ability toectly receive and manipulatends. It is the greatest predictoreading success. Weak auditory

cessing can be compared to beinga bad cell phone call; you onlybits and pieces of informationit causes confusion, frustration,anxiety. Children with auditory

cessing problems often sayh? and strain to listen and keep

with conversations.

al processing is your brainsty to accurately and eciently

cess information receivedugh your eyes. Paul Madauled that reading requiresslation of visual symbols into anrnal auditory image held in thed. The visual symbols, or letters,uire your eyes to work wellether. Children with poor visualcessing may have problems with

ing, such as: skipping letters,ds, or lines. Many of them lookpage of words or math problemsthe numbers and organization domake sense. According to Sallydard Blythe, children withexia who have visual processing

motor-perceptual problemse diculty with understandingction, sequencing, and control ofmovements.

guage skills are a criticalponent of reading. In order

comprehend new information,dren must have good vocabularywledge. Understanding non-al language is important in orderiscover the underlying meaning

words. Another critical aspect isalization (i.e., turning language

an image). Good language

expression while reading aloudrequires fluency, phrasing, rhythm,

and intonation.Memory is the ability to retaininformation long enough for it tobe useful. According to Joan Smith,PhD, good visual and auditorymemory is necessary for readingsince they impact word-attack andcomprehension. Children who haveweak memory skills are unable toremember the sequence of letters,quickly recall words, and retain whatthey read.

Attention impacts all of the aboveareas. If a child has attention

problems, they will impact all areasof brain processing and learning.Conversely, weak underlyingprocessing skills, such as thosepreviously mentioned, will stressattention. A reading problem canresult if any of the processing skillsmentioned above are weak. Whenthis is the case, too much energyis spent trying to compensate forthe weaknesses, so reading and itsmeaning are severely compromised.Problems will continue unless theweak skill is remediated by buildingnew neuropathways in the brain.

If your child is struggling to readby age 7, you will need to rule-outthe following problems: eyesight(optometrist), hearing (audiologist),and processing skills (includingauditory, visual, and language) ata specialized learning center. Thekeys to successful remediation willinclude correct identication of weakprocessing areas and a specializedprogram to correct them. This canallow your child to rediscover hispotential and restore condence inhis ability to learn.

me start with the island. Yes,ne time Morro Bay had its own

nd. The island I am referring toMorro Rock. For thousands ofrs, Morro Rock was an island. Attide, some people would try to

de across the water that wouldup to their armpits or they

uld hop in a row boat to have anic along the shore of the rock.

asnt until 1933 that the Worksgress Administration (WPA)ted the Rock to get materials tod a road from the mainland toRock.

you take that ride out to thek, realize that the road you

driving on is built of layers andrs of rock and dirt that camectly from Morro Rock. I couldon and on about the Rock, butve other places in mind for youisit.

n around and head back on thebarcadero, check out all of therist stores, and make your wayto Morro Bay Blvd (MBB). Asdrive up and down Morro Bay

d, you are traveling though thert of the city. Morro Bay Blvd

was once called 5th Street, whenmost of the streets were numberedor lettered. It might be a good ideato park the car near the Bank ofAmerica on Morro Bay Blvd. Letswalk up the street until you get to400 MBB, which is currently leasedby a nice little resale boutique calledThreads.

What you are standing in front ofwas the rst real ice cream shopin town. It was called Morro BayCreamery and the name wrappedthe building in really cool neonlights. The huge windows in frontenticed all the kids in town to lookin and try to convince their parentsto take them in for an ice cream. Iused to work with Dan Stanley atMorro Elementary School, and heremembered going in this place asa kid with his buddies to spend allof their money at the Creamery onmalts and hot fudge sundaes.

Heres another little bit of triviaabout the little building next doorto Threads. Today, at 410 Morro BayBlvd is a business called Castaways,but in 1960 a person would comedown to 410 to play pool becausethis was the Morro Bay RecreationCenter Pool Hall. Its funny that in1960, pool halls were great fun forthe people in Morro Bay, but in 1957there was a big controversy in townabout pinball machines.

Historic Morro Bay

In 1957, a pinball arcade openedabout two blocks from MorroElementary School. Parents gottogether and formed a committeeto ask the Board of Supervisors tooutlaw the evil machines. Thecommittee feared that kids wouldspend their lunch money playingpinball instead of buying lunch.

Within three months, the arcadewas shut down. By January of 1958,all pinball machines were outlawedin San Luis Obispo County. Im prettysure its okay to play pinball in townnow, because my wife and I wentto Cool Cats restaurant the otherday and we didnt get busted forplaying an old Elton John CaptainFantastic pinball machine.

When you are standing in front ofthe old Creamery, look across thestreet and you will see a two-storybrick building. Today, John Ramosart gallery displays his paintings atthis very historic location. This isone of the oldest buildings in town,and it has a wonderful history. Thebuilding you are looking at wasbuilt in the 1910s or 1920s and wasthe city post oce. It was run byPostmistress Lillie Anderson.

The Post Oce was on the left sideof the building and the AndersonDry Goods store was on the rightside. At some point in the 1950s,the buildings owner decided to

S Perryesswrites

aboutwordsFLAGat with Independence Day,ericans will no doubt see a

od number of ags ying.g is one of those deliciousrds etymologists arent 100%e of. The noun form showedn English in the late 1400s.

me argue that ag may haveme from Old Norse, faga, a word

ted to ake, and referring tot stone. We see this meaninghe English wordagstone. Theory is that agstones are at

rectangular, a ag is at andtangular, voila! Sounds like aof a stretch to me.

other possibility is that flagmes from the Danish aeg or

chag. Both these words refera yellow iris and/or freshwaterd, things that ap about in theeze, not unlikeags. Hmm.

most likely connection (in mymble opinion) is to the verbg, which predates the noun byull century, and comes from

Norse, akka, to icker, ap,utter. In the Old Norse termcan hear the onomatopoeia ofric in a sti wind. Etymologistsheflag - co mes - from - f lakkaool of thought argue that theb for ap or utter naturallyrphed into the noun for the

m that apped or uttered.

me otheragtidbits:

verb to agchanged meaninghe early 1600s, from meaning, icker utter to meaning toimp or droop.Perhaps a lack ofds inspired this change?

the 1800s, the verb to agected another meaning, top or slow something. This grew

of the use of agsto slow orp trains. Much later, in the

1980s, this term was applied todrinkers whod had a bit too muchand would no longer be servedmore booze.

In the 1870s, the termagshipwasborn, referring to a ship ying theag of an admiral. Its gurativemeaning arrived in the early 1900s.

The Arizona city, Flagstaf, wasso named on July 4, 1876, when avery large ag was own from avery tall tree.

In the 1500s, the verbfagwas bornof the verbag, and like its source,meant to droop, decline, or tire.

Does the verb-to-noun argumentresonate best for you, or do youside with the agstoners or iris-reeders?

SUMMERTIME

I am positively wallowing in the

wonder of summer. During myteaching career, middle-schoolersmade me laugh, but to be honest,theyve got nothing on summer.So Im indulging in a modicum ofetymology and a few celebratoryquotes about summer.

Summer comes to English fromSanskrit. It appeared in Englishin 825, meaning exactly whatit does today and spelledsumur. Interestingly, summer isetymologically related to the word

gossamer, which came to English inthe early 1300s, from a marriage ofthe wordsgooseand summer,andmeant spider threads spun in eldsof stubble in late fall. Etymologiststheorize that the spider silk lookeda bit like goose feathers. Hmm.Within a century, gossamerfoundits present meaning, of light,imsy, or delicate.

Here are some authors thoughtsabout summer.

Summers lease hath all too shorta date.

William Shakespeare,Shakespeares Sonnets

There shall be eternal summer inthe grateful heart.

Celia Thaxter

And so with the sunshine andthe great bursts of leaves growingon the trees, just as things growin fast movies, I had that familiarconviction that life was beginningover again with the summer.

F. Scott Fitzgerald,The Great Gatsby

Come with me, Mom says.

To the library.

Books and summertime

go together.

Lisa Schroeder, I Heart You,You Haunt Me

One must maintain a little bit ofsummer, even in the middle ofwinter.

Henry David Thoreau

Summertime and the livin is easy

Fish are jumpin as high as the sky

Your mamas rich and your daddysgood-looking

So hush little baby, dont you cry

DuBose Heyward, music byGeorge Gershwin
