Bald Eagles should be arriv-
ing any day now. There has been
one unconfirmed report of an
immature Bald Eagle being in
the area-so some are starting to
arrive. Remember, the colder
the winter to our north, the
more Bald Eagles visit Quartz
Mountain. Let’s hope Nebraska
and Kansas have lots of frozen
lakes this winter!
Because of the impending ar-
rival of the Bald Eagles, theORV
Area (Eagle’s Roost) has been
closed for the season. The
wooded dunes make a great
area to hike now that motor ve-
hicle traffic is prohibited. The
fires we had in the late spring
“Danny; to live with us. He had
hit a rough spot in his life, and
had been doing drugs, drink-
ing and feeling suicidal. Since
living with us, Danny no
longer has these feelings and
is no longer drinking or doing
drugs. We are trying to help
him find his direction in life.
Recently, my grandmother,
who adopted Danny when he
was 10 r his mother died, went
to my mother’s house where
my husband and I were visit-
ing for the weekend, and be-
gan yelling at us.
First, she accused us of not
loving Danny and claimed we
are trying to ruin his life. Then
it escalated, and she was
screaming at us because we
didn't ask her permission be-
fore inviting Danny to come
live with us. (He was already
out of her house and living
with my uncle at the time.)
She also claimed Danny was
“better off doing drugs and
drinking” and being “home”
than he is with us because she
wasn’t “mean” to him like we
are!
Feelings were hurt and a lot
of tears were shed. When we
told Danny what happened, he
He is always playing mean
pranks on me and hitting me
up for money, and if 1 don’t
give him money he hits me.
I ask him to stop, but he still
does it. Abby, what do you
think I should do?
11 AND FRUSTRATED
DEAR 11 AND FRUSTRATED:
You may have known this boy
since he was two, but the per-
son you have described is a
bully and an extortionist.
Please inform a teacher or the
school principal about the fact
that he’s hitting you when you
don’t give him money. And also
ask your parent(s) to find you
a course in self-defense. It will
make you less likely to be
picked on in the future.

If you have a dog that darts out the door when it is
opened, your dog is trying to tell you two things. Num-
ber one, he needs to go for a walk and number two,
he is in charge. We need to change his mind.
Start this by putting a training collar and a leash
on your dog and take your dog on a nice long con-
structed walk.
Do not let him sniff or go to the bathroom until you
stop and let him know it is okay. Or you may walk
him on a treadmill for about 20 minutes.
Then, when you get back to the house, go to the
door, throw the door open and make him sit there in
front of the door. Tell him wait and make him wait
and look out but not go through the door. Do this two
or three times then take him out but make sure you
go out the door first.
Then, turn around and do this again.
Soon your dog will run up to the door when some-
one comes, stop and sit, then wait for him or her to
come in all the while looking to you for instructions.
Wow what a dog!
