Extractions: Please read on... Regarding Helmets. The Sergeant wrote his First Sergeant telling him of his experience. "I'm passing to you my experience over the last couple of days in hopes that maybe it can be passed on to others and possibly prevent someone else's siblings from receiving life threatening injuries. "My two sons, 9 and 11, are usually pretty safety conscious. When they take off on their bikes or roller blades they almost always grab their helmets and throw them on. But, on the other hand, when they're in a hurry, they sometimes do not. Well, we as parents try to catch those incidents and immediately make the correction. Sometimes we get complacent and don't even notice. "Well, Wednesday evening right after school, we took off on our usual roller blading excursion around the neighborhood (Without helmets this time) and sure enough, my youngest, Trent, got his blades caught up with his brother's, got turned around and landed right on the back of his head. I'm amazed that he wasn't knocked unconscious. He was hurting pretty bad and had blood coming from his right ear and nose. Sure, kids fall and bump their head, but this was giving me a serious message to take him to the hospital.

Extractions: Advertisement Dateline: 02/08/99 update Do you wear a helmet while roller-blading, snow-boarding, riding a bicycle? Do you wear a seatbelt? You should insist that your children do. Injuries kill more children and adolescents than all diseases combined. Biking, falls, cars, sports, and firearms can all be dangerous. Unlike many other pediatric emergencies, head injuries can sometimes be prevented by simply wearing a helmet or buckling a seatbelt properly. The most common type of traumatic brain injury results from accidents in which the head strikes an object. Other causes include whiplash and shaken baby syndrome. Many states have laws that require the use of helmets for biking and seatbelts while driving. Think safety. Teach children safe behavior.

France recently launched a nationwide campaign to promote ski helmets for children and, back in the U.S., both the Aspen Skiing Company and Crested Butte have announced that all ski and snowboard students age 12 and younger are required to wear helmets while attending lessons. In another example of the growing emphasis on helmets, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission also recommends using a bicycle helmet while on a scooter.

Extractions: CPRD Comments-October 5, 2000 The show consisted of doing stunts, jumps, grinds and also some freestyle skills. The crowd really got into Lee Brinkman's performance that attempted numerous high jumps ranging from 360s to no arms and legs with very high air. At the end of the show all spectators were eligible for safety equipment door prizes paid for by Culver and Pizza Hut. KIKC radio donated on air advertising that also included an interview with Lee that was aired on Friday and Saturday mornings. Prizes won included six helmets and 4 sets of elbow and kneepads. In addition the performers handed out numerous stickers to the kids and even signed a few autographs. We are planning some more skate park events for next year and will be focussing on a skate board event for sure. The message was very clear that wearing safety gear is not only important but also cool. If nothing else occurs maybe more kids will recognize the safety risks of blading, boarding and biking and wear equipment which will minimize any serious injuries. Any promotion we do at Millennium Park will always be designed to promote and increase safety.

Extractions: GRANDPARENT SURVIVAL: HOW DOES ALL THIS STUFF WORK? This year nearly 6,300 children 14 and under will die from injuries that most people would call accidents. Another 120,000 will be permanently disabled from these "accidents". Another interesting statistic is that 9 out of 10 grandparents will care for their grandchildren sometime this year. Grandparents need to be just as informed as parents on how to prevent unintentional injuries to their precious little ones. However, cars are faster, homes more automated and things in general are different than when you raised your family. It's hard to keep up to date on the latest information. Below are some suggestions from C. Everett Koop, M.D., Sc.D. and The National SAFE KIDS Campaign. For more information visit their web site at www.safekids.org. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY: Today's driving environment is more aggressive than it was 30 years ago. Children should be restrained in an approved child passenger restraint whether you are going on the interstate or just down the road. They are proven life savers and the law in all 50 states. When driving in a vehicle with your grandchildren remember: Buckle Your Own Safety Belt.

Extractions: HOT TIPS FOR SAFE FUN IN THE SUN Summer months are a time for water recreational activities. But where summer and water are combined, children are especially vulnerable. Drowning is the leading cause of death for Los Angeles County youngsters from one to four years old. Of the 117 drowning deaths last year, 21 were children less than five years old. Two-thirds of these children drowned in backyard pools. It takes just a few seconds for a child to drown or nearly drown. Leaving children unattended in a few inches of water can have deadly results. In recent years, we have also seen an increase in the number of elderly persons who drowned during warm weather months. Last year, 26 people over the age of 65 drowned, compared to 15 who drowned in 1996. Many of these deaths occurred in spas and swimming pools. Seniors with heart conditions, high blood pressure or who experience dizziness and equilibrium difficulties should use caution when wading or swimming.

Extractions: ANNA Background and General Facts We are people just like you. We're concerned renters and homeowners who banded together in 1986 to devote a small amount of time to give part of ourselves for the good of the neighborhood. We want to know who else cares about where we live, and what the area means to each of us. We want to help each other solve problems or crises, or perhaps even fix problems we've caused among ourselves. We want a desirable and safe neighborhood for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. We are interested in generating a "neighborly feeling" so everyone will know there's always someone who can help in time of need. - There's power in numbers. The LAPD, city services departments and government officials pay attention to the needs of a well-organized group of voters. - There's truth in the old saw "The best burglary protection is a nosey neighbor." Knowing your neighbors, their kids, and cars, makes it easier to spot strange vehicles and persons with possible criminal intentions and to notify proper authorities. - ANNA keeps a current list of helpful phone numbers and contact names. We can show you how to address a specific problem: getting your landlord to respond, abandoned trash or cars, etc. We sometimes invite a local speaker to address issues in our area at our monthly meetings.
Garden City Pediatric Associates: Education: Conditions helmets should always be worn with biking and other outdoor activitiessuch a skating, roller blading, skate boarding, sledding and skiing. http://www.gardencitypediatrics.com/conditions.html
Extractions: Conditions Informational sections include: Head Trauma Lyme Disease Poisoning and Sore Throat Head injury is a common childhood accident. Fortunately most head trauma in children, though understandably alarming to parents, does not result in significant injury. A blow to the head usually causes swelling and bruising. A cold compress or ice pack can be applied for 15-30 minutes to minimize swelling. Prevention of head injuries is the most important treatment. Always be careful of children near stairs or climbing furniture. Do not use walkers. They are very dangerous because they can tip over and cause head injuries. Helmets should always be worn with biking and other outdoor activities such a skating, roller blading, skate boarding, sledding and skiing. Anytime your child has been knocked unconscious you should contact us immediately. If the child has not lost consciousness, it is usually safe to observe the child at home. It is best to allow them to continue their usual activities, eating lightly, playing and sleeping so that a change from their normal behavior can be recognized. During 12-24 hours from a serious head injury, children should be awakened every 3-4 hours during sleep to make sure they are normally arousable and will respond to their name.

"We believe it is essential to portray safe and sensible sportsmanship as a responsibility to our kid viewers." Health and safety officials hope this take on sporting will prompt kids, and adults, to adequately gear up this summer before taking to the roadways on their bicycles (and in-line skates, skateboards or scooters). And that means wearing a helmet the single most important thing a child can do to prevent a head injury, safety experts say.

Extractions: Most pesticide applications made to home lawns are either unneeded or ineffective. To make sure you need a pesticide, you must first "scout" for pests to see if there are enough to justify the treatment. (See Lawn pest profiles for more scouting information.) If you do treat, you need to make sure you apply the pesticide correctly and at the right time. By spring, grubs are usually too mature to be controlled by pesticides. Scout for grubs in late summer and early fall to determine if treatment is necessary while next year's grubs are still small enough to control. (If treatment is justified, August is usually the best time.) Because grubs feed below-ground, insecticides need to be watered in before they dry on grass leaves to be effective.
