This will be a public service announcement. AIId if it is heeded, thousands ofpeople - maybe millions- might be spared emotional misery. It was suggested to me by a man who is the father of two children, ages 5l!J1d 1.We will call him Jim. He doesn't want his identity revealed because he doesn't want to hurt the feelinp ofwell.meaningfriends and rtllatives. "But if you write about this problem,· he said, "maybe they will see it and get the message.· Itis about tOys. I mlk "Basically, there are two kinds of toys,. Jim says. e 'There are noisy toys, and there are toys that are not •• r••o.y.k_o.... noisy." ' Now, who buys noisy toys? Do parents buy noisy toys? Of course not When you have a child, the child is noisy enough. So why would you buy it sometbingthat will make even more noise? "All you have to do is go in a toy store and w&tch people. Those who are parents are buying quiet toys . • Soft dolls, board games, coloring boob, thingB that rattle quietly. " Then go over and look at the people who are buying noisy toys.

They are friendsorrelativesofsomebodywhohasacbild,andtheyarebuyinganoisy toy for that child, the dumb (deleted). "Then they C01lle over and give the kid the toy, and they laugh at how happy the Jdcl is because when he presses a button it makes a noise like a ftreengine,and when he~anotber button, it makes anoise like a 747 is landing on the roof. And they say: 'Look, he loves it.' "Of course he loves it.And he'll love it even more when he notices that his parents hate it. It will beoome hislaverite toy. But they go home and leave you there with t'he kid and the noisy toy. BO whatare you going to do? Take it away from him and put it on the floor and jump on itand crush it? Of course not, because you'll traumatize him. It is now his favorite toy. To hell with the quiet jigBaw puzzle.

"But the people w 0 gave im rums or ~es won't1l~. They bring misery into your life, and they move on. "Another one is the pIastic tricycle that goes clickety-elack. Yeah, someone dropped one of those on us. "On each of the back wheels, there is something that goes clickety·clack when the wheels tum. You can hear it a'block away. Of course, if you're takingyour kid to the playground, you aren't a block away: you're right next to it. And when you walk past people sitting on their porch, they look at you like you are some kind ofidiot. "And what makes this thing even worse is that you have to put it together yourself. Which reminds me of something else. Did Isay there are two kinds of toys? ~cl, there are four. The other two kinds are toys that you don't have to put together and toys that you have to put together, and you have to be a damn engineer to figure them out. "I never buy toys1;hat I have to put together because-I end up stabbing ,myself with the little kitchen knife that I'm using because} can never find the Phillips screwdriver. There is a conspiracy, you know. The companies that make these toys also make the world's Phillips screwdrivers. "So they come over - these friends who buy the noisy toys - and they give your kid a big box and there is a picture of the toy on the box, and it shows racingcars or trucks or sometbinggoingaround tIiistrack. Butwhen you open the box"that's not what you have. You have a bunch of diseen- nected piaces of stuff, with 150 plastic. screws and you have to get down on the ODOrto put it together, and after 15minutes,your knees hurt and your kid is sitting there saying: 'Are you doneyet?'

------'------Disaster Strikes! LBCC nursing students participate in disaster drill designed to tune up local emergencyresponseteams Story'by Sharon Adams Photos by Linda Wallace Of The Commuter A major di saster struck Albany last Thursday! A mock disaster, that is. Most of the. victims were volunteer students from local high schools and the LBCC Nursing program ..Each accident victim wore a tag describing his or her symptoms; blood pressure, eye dilation Last Thursday's disaster drill Involved a three-vehlcle accident Involving a school bus and two pickups, one of and other vital statistics. If the victims which burst Into flames, keeping firefighters busy While ambulance crews took scores of Injured to the hospital. were able to communicate they would moan and complain about their injuries. Pat Quinn, a volunteer with the Albany Fire Department, made up most of the victims so their injuries would look real- istic. The fake blood, a powder-based dye activated by water, could be mixed to resemble fresh blood or thick, coagulated blood. Quinn, a veteran of the depart- ment, said he has been doing makeup for these drills for many years. The accident scene involved a school bus full of "victims" whieh collided with two pickups. Simulated smoke drifting Ul!. over the vehicles adJled a realllltic touch to the event. The fire fighters were first on the scene. The water hose was quickly rolled out to extinguish the fake fire. Bystanders were concerned at first because the firemen ignored a victim prone on the ground and in need of1nedical attention. However, the first priority was the fire, as it could endanger all those people trapped in the Preparing the victims to play their roles with authenticity took much time and effort. At far right, makeup artist Pat damaged vehicles. Quinn, an Albany fireman, applies some fake blood to the forehead of LBCC nursing student Peggy Johnson. At far left, Ivonne Weller, another LBCC nursing student, wears a badge identifying her InjUry. Victims from the mock disaster were taken to Albany General Hospital.
