Dear Boomer,
This year, my resolution is to work toward my goals and trudge on even if it’s the end of the world and all hope is lost. What’s your resolution?

KIT, H.C.

Dear H.C.,
Do you know somethin’ that I don’t? I didn’t know the stock market was doing that badly. Or are the Jonas Brothers breaking up? Seriously, I made a resolution to not fall behind on my homework and to pay better attention in class!

Here’s to a great 2010,
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I heard about the earthquake in Haiti and would like to help. What should a kid my age do to help the kids there?

Want2help, B.C

Dear B.C.,
Now’s the perfect time for kids and parents to step up! Even though the 7.0-magnitude earthquake lasted only a minute, it killed more than 150,000 people and left millions in desperate need of help. Didja tune in to the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon? Here are some sites to visit to see how you can help:

UnicefUSA.org
ClintonBushHaitiFund.org
WorldCare.org
RedCross.org

World Care—based here at 3538 E. Ellington Place, Tucson, AZ 85713— accepts cash, checks or donated items. You also can drop off items at any Rural/Metro Fire Station or Sun Flower Farmers Market. If you want to help kids, you can collect kids clothing, toothpaste and toothbrushes, wash cloths, baby shampoos, bar soap, diapers, infant formula, powdered milk, blankets and first aid stuff. Get your school involved!

Way to help! Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I have a brother named J. He doesn't like to listen to anyone. What can I do?

Yours truly, N.A.

¡Hola N.A.!
While you want the best for your bro, it's not really up to you to fix J’s problem. He’ll probably have to learn the hard way why it’s important to listen to those around you. Have patience!

Your buddy, Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I have a cousin who gets everything she wants and always gets straight A+’s. I'm not THAT great, but still I try. My parents always are comparing me to my cousin, and I hate that. I wish they wouldn’t do that.

Thanks, H.M.

Dear H.M.,
You ARE that great, but I wouldn't worry about competing with yer cuz. You and your cousin are two very special and unique kids. Keep challenging yourself and writing those great news stories for Bear Essential News!

See ya soon, Boomer Bear
