Whether it is natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornados or terrorism and war, there are several things parents can do to help children cope, says Dr. Lori Roggman, assistant professor of Family and Human Development Develop-ment in the Utah State University Univer-sity College of Family Life. Do more listening than talking. talk-ing. Listen for their feelings. Reassure as much as you can. Ask open ended questions about what they understand such as What do you think is going on? What do you know about this? During the Gulf War my 4-year-old son said, "I know about war because of (the story) Stone Soup." When questioned, he explained, ex-plained, "When the soldiers came back from war, they were hungry , for some soup but all they could find wa3 the stones in the road, so they made stone soup. Will the soldiers get hungry?" His con- ?cerns were simple and he was easily reassured that there would be food given to the soldiers. sol-diers. Talk about the facts. Maybe all a 4-year-old needs to know about a crisis is that there will be food for everyone. But when children see their parents' worried wor-ried faces they often need to know more. Explain what is going on. .Help children understand the meaning of events. Explain why certain behaviors are required of them or of others. Children may need to know exactly what did f happen, why it occurred, what ' caused it (if we know), how likely it is to happen again, or what we '. can do about it. Give a lot of extra hugs. " During times of stress, children heed extra reassurance that they are safe and loved. Older children may want to slip onto a parent's lap even if they have not done that for a while. Some children will misbehave to get the extra attention and contact they need.. Talk about your feelings (but not too much). Explain your concerns con-cerns and worries.

We Pilot assists (Continued a pick up of the injured climber at a base camp located at the 17,000-foot 17,000-foot level. The injured climber was being given medical aid and assistance by two fellow climbers. Drury is a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a 28-year veteran of mountain helicopter flying. He heads up the rescue helicopter division at Denali National Park. He spends the winter in Tulsa and summers at Talkeetna and the Pacific Northwest doing rescue res-cue work and firefighting. When Drury arrived at the rescue site, his SA315B Lama helicopter encountered severe wind conditions exceeding 35 miles an hour. Nine attempts to land in the vicinity of the injured climber proved unsuccessful and the mission had to be aborted until the weather cleared. The injured climber was suffering suf-fering from bruised ribs and shock, but assistance from other climbers kept him alive for five more days until the helicopter could effect the landing and rescue. res-cue. On Wednesday, May 10, the weather abated at 5:30 a.m. just enough for the rescue helicopter to land on a ridgetop near the climbers' camp.

The body of the second hiker, Brian McKinley, was recovered from the mountain later. Brian was the 80th climber to lose his life during an ascent on Mt. McKinley Mc-Kinley and the first to perish during this climbing season. Approximately Ap-proximately 35 climbers have not been recovered from the mountain moun-tain since it was first climbed almost al-most a hundred years ago. This is Dairy's second year on the mountain and he has had a hand in many other difficult rescues res-cues during that time. He was also a rescue pilot in the Vietnam War. He and his wife, Beverly, have three children. Drury was quoted in a press report as saying he gained personal per-sonal satisfaction from knowing he saved a life, and when family members contact him to say thank you, it "makes the risks involved in high-altitude rescues worthwhile." Angove's wife thanked the crew, and McKinley's widow was expected to travel to thank the rescuers in person also.
