Tune In
A little night music: Members of the Seven Hills Show Chorus will offer a free concert at 2 p.m. June 5 at Coney Island's Moonlite Gardens during this year's Summerfair. "This will be the perfect place to take a date because we'll be singing some love songs and gospel music," says Barb DeNamur, who handles publicity for the group. Information: 333-5426.
Millionaire Maker
What about the hair? Just what the world needs - another Donald Trump. Only this time, it'll be a mini version.
Ken Hakuta, who made a name for himself as "Dr. Fad" when he introduced the Wacky Wallwalker in 1982, is developing a show similar to Trump's The Apprentice, with candidates between 13 and 17 who have an idea for an invention. "Children often come up with the best ideas and solutions to tackling our everyday problems," Hakuta said.
Idea-driven youngsters should send name, address, age, phone number and e-mail address, along with a description of their invention, to The Next Trump, c/o Jericho Communications, 304 Hudson St., Suite 700, New York, NY 10013, by May 31.
Go Buggy
More cicadas: If you've been stuck inside or simply live in a cicada-deprived area, don't feel left out.

Helpful Dads
Father's Day: Dads who dust and do the dishes aren't just making Mom happy. They're also raising better-adjusted kids.
"Seeing men perform domestic duties teaches children cooperation and democratic family values," says Scott Coltrane, a professor of sociology at the University of California-Irvine, in Parents magazine.
Coltrane analyzed data from more than 3,000 families. Among his findings: Kids whose dads perform chores are more likely to get along with peers and less likely to be troublemakers than those whose mothers do all the work.
Got Calcium?
Beware summer sprains: If your child has a cast on her arm, she's not alone. Broken forearms have become more common among children and adolescents, especially girls, over the past three decades, according to a Mayo Clinic study.
From 1969 to 2001, the rate of forearm fractures rose 52 percent for girls and 32 percent for boys, the study said.
Researchers suspect inadequate nutrition as the most likely culprit. Some experts estimate only 20 percent of kids get their recommended daily requirement of calcium.
