Do Parents Find New TV Rating System Helpful?

Associated Press Writer 

INIDIANAPOLIS (AP)-
TV-Y, TV-Y-7, TV-G. Those are a few oh the new ratings for television shows. But do parents know what they mean, and will they be much help in deciding what their children watch? 
   The Voluntary six-tier, age-based system is similar to the one used for movies. It ranges from TV-G, designating material suitable for all ages, to TV-M, for mature audiences only. Children’s shows will be labeled, using a TV-Y as suitable for all youngsters and TV-Y-7 as appropriate for children 7 and older. Each ratings category carries a content description. 
   But unlike the movies, where an independent board rates them, producers and networkers will assign the ratings for their own television shows. News, sports and news magazines are exempt.
   “I think it helps the parents become aware of what the program is like and anticipate what type of viewing is going to be seen,” said John Sloggett, who was out shopping Tuesday with his wife and 9-year-old son. “It helps warn you” He said he was aware of the rating system and that it was easy to follow.
   “It’s clearly related to the ratings that you see at the movie theater,” Sloggett said. “It´s obvious which program is appropriate and which program isn’t”
   But others think children will find a way to watch shows their parents might find objectionable. 
   “I think kids are going to find a way to watch whatever they want to watch,” Nancy Morse said.
  The mother of an 18-year-old, Ms. Morse said she no longer controls what her daughter watches, but in the past, it was difficult to monitor her child’s viewing habits. “In today’s world, parents can’t be with their kids all the time, I think you can help cut down in some of the things that they watch that maybe you’d rather they didn’t… but I think if they really want to watch something, they’re going to find a way.” 
   Under the system, a symbol will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the TV screen for 15 seconds at the beginning of each show. The symbol will reappear for shows longer than one hour. The symbols also will appear on program promotions, that are 30 seconds or longer in length, as well as in TV listings in newspapers and magazines.
   That will be a big help, says Sharon Smith, who wants the TV listings to have more information.
   “But I don’t like it because some of the things that are for kids – the general rating for kids – I still wouldn’t let my children watch them. ”she said.
   Al Aldridge, the public relations manager at American Cable Vision, said there has been no calls from parents inquiring about the new system. 
   “We did a call-in show about it last week,” he said. “About eight people phoned in during the 10-minute segment on ‘6:30 p.m.,’ a daily news magazine.”
   “But many parents don’t think the right programs are being targeted,” he added.
“Parents say videos are most of the problem.”
   Black Entertainment television (BET) is not participating, but VH1 is, he said.
He was not sure about MTV.

Mary Terronez

Davenport- Mary Terronez, a Davenport resident who works as a teacher’s aid at Jefferson Elementary, departed from Moline’s Quad City Airport to attend President Clinton’s second term inauguration. The ceremony will be held Monday January 20th, in the White House lawn in Washington D.C.
   “I am thrilled to go for the first time,” said Mrs. Terronez, “I have always enjoyed these events.” She received a complementary invitation by mail and she accepted. She plans to stay with her grandson in Manassas, Virginia, only a half hour away from the White House; she will be there until Tuesday. “It won’t cost me anything, except the plane ticket.” There will be other events planned for the whole day such as the evening gala dance. Ticket price for these events run anywhere from $500 to $3,000.
   “I’m very excited. I won’t be attending any of the additional events like the dance, I just want to go to the inauguration,” said Mrs. Terronez. She has always participated in political events, and has been a precinct official for the last 30 years. She helps to register votes who can’t otherwise come, such as the elderly and the handicapped. “I have also been involved in fund raising for local candidates running for office,” Mrs. Terronez said. Her family gets involved in politics as well; she said they all like to participate in one way or another. 
   She remembers the day that president Kennedy was assassinated; she took it upon herself to send a card to the family. “I sent as sympathy card to the Kennedys later that same year. Jackie and Ethel Kennedy sent a thank you card back to me; I still have it,” she said.
   More recently, she shook Al Gore’s hand and greeted him when he was in town, he even sent her family a card this past Christmas. “I think it´s important for everyone to participate in our political system at any level, because if you don’t, who will?,” said Mrs. Terronez.

La Alimentación y los Viejos
Cuando envejecemos, necesitamos poner atención especial a los alimentos que comemos. A causa de cambios en el cuerpo y la disminución de la actividad física, la gente más vieja necesita menos calorías. A cualquier edad todavía necesitamos de las muchas vitaminas, minerales y otras substancias nutritivas que se reciben al comer una amplia variedad de alimentos.
   Limitar la cantidad de grasa en la dieta puede ayudar a impedir el aumento de peso. Demasiado peso puede contribuir a adquirir diabetes, enfermedades del corazón y alta presión sanguínea. Menos grasa en la dieta puede reducir también el riesgo de algunos tipos de cánceres. 
   El calcio no es simplemente para niños. A medida que la gente envejece, los huesos pueden adelgazar y romperse fácilmente. Comer alimentos con mucho calcio, tales como leche, yogur, queso y verduras de hojas a lo largo de la vida, ayudara al cuerpo a mantener huesos fuertes. 
   La fibra en los alimentos es importante para todos, pero especialmente para los viejos. Las frutas, los vegetales y los alimentos hechos de granos, proveen la fibra que ayuda a impedir el estreñimiento. Coma de cinco a seis porciones de frutas y vegetales cada día, y seis o más porciones de alimentos de grano, tales como arroz, harina de maíz y tortillas.
   Otra manera de ayudar el cuerpo a mantenerse, a sanarse u a mejorarse, es mediante el ejercicio. El ejercicio puede fortalecer el corazón, los pulmones, los huesos y rebajar la presión sanguínea. Una caminada rápida, tres o cuatro veces por semana, es una manera óptima de hacer algo de ejercicio. 
   El ejercicio regular y una dieta bien balanceada, ayudaran a la gente más vieja permanecer saludable y activa. Para mayor información sobre el uso de la Pirámide de Guía de Alimentos para escoger una dieta bien balanceada, llame gratis a su Country Extension Office, 1-800-262-3804 o 1-800-854-1658 de 8 a 5 p.m.

Nutrition and the Elderly 

[hand drawn image of a family]
As we age, we need to pay special attention to the foods we eat. Because og changes in the body, and decreasing physical activity, older people need fewer calories. Ar any age we still need the many vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that come from eating a wide variety of foods.
   Limiting the amount of fat in the diet may help prevent weight gain. Too much weight can contribute to developing diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. Less fat in the diet can also reduce the risk for some types of cancers.
   Calcium is not just for children. As people age, the bones may thin out and break easily. Eating foods high in calcium, such as milk, yogurt, cheese and leaf greens throughout life will help the body maintain strong bones.
   Fiber in foods is important for everyone but specially for the elderly. Fruits, vegetables, and food made from grains provide fiber which helps prevent constipation. Eat 5 to 6 servings of fruits and vegetables each day, and 6 or more servings of grains foods such as rice, corn meal, and tortillas.
   Another way to help the body maintain, repair, and improve itself is through exercise. Exercise can strengthen the heart, and lungs, and bones, and lower blood pressure. Brisk walking, 3-4 times a week, is an excellent way to get some exercise. 
   Regular exercise and a well-balanced diet will help older people stay healthy and active. For information on using the Food Guide Pyramid to choose a well balanced diet contact your Country Extension Office. 1-800-262-3804 or 1-800-854-1658 from 8 to 5 p.m.
