Dear abbyWRITING THANK-YOU NOTES GETS EASIER USING THE RIGHT ADVICEBy Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: The issue of thank-you notes comes up often in your column. May I share how I learned to write them? When I was young, my mother asked me one day why I was so resistant. I said I hated addressing them and I never knew what to say! It was overwhelming to me.

Mother taught me some phrases such as, “I appreci-ate your thoughtfulness,” and ways to close like, “I hope to see you again soon.” She gently reminded me that the sooner I wrote, the easier it would be to express words of gratitude. She also made a deal with me: If I quit com-plaining and procrastinating, she’d address them for me un-til I turned 18.

When I turned 18 she gave me an address book filled with the addresses of our family and friends, beautiful new stationery and a book of stamps. In case you’re curi-ous, my 18th birthday gifts were all acknowledged with thank-you notes addressed by me! I’m 22 now, and I have never missed a note. -- SAR-AH B., ANSONIA, CONN.

DEAR SARAH B.: Thank you for your charming letter. Your mother was not only a good negotiator, she also taught you a skill that will be valuable as you grow older.

I print letters about this subject so often because of the number of complaints I receive about the failure to re-

ceive a thank-you note. When a gift (or check) isn’t acknowl-edged, the message it sends is that the item wasn’t appreci-ated, which is insulting and hurtful.

Chief among the reasons people don’t send thank-you notes is that they don’t know what to say and are afraid they’ll say the wrong thing. That’s why my booklet, “How to Write Letters,” was writ-ten. It contains samples of thank-you letters for birthday gifts, shower gifts and wed-ding gifts, as well as those that arrive around holiday time. It also includes letters of congratulations and ones regarding difficult topics -- in-cluding letters of condolence for the loss of a parent, spouse or a child.

It can be ordered by send-ing name, mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Letters Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) Use it to tailor your own messages. With the holiday season ap-proaching and people sending gifts and greetings through the end of the year, this is the perfect time to reply with a handwritten letter, note or well-written email.

Because composition of letters and notes is not al-ways effectively taught in the schools, my booklet can pro-vide a helpful tutorial, and is particularly valuable for par-ents as a way to teach their children how to write using

proper etiquette.

DEAR ABBY: My question is very simple, Abby. Who determines right or wrong in your life, your opinions, your column? This will tell me all I need to know about your wisdom or advice. -- RON IN MICHIGAN

DEAR RON: Actually, I think your question is any-thing but “simple,” and the answer is: I DO.

Lady Trojans place seven members on All-Region teamBy Mike SalbatoCorrespondentThe Chronicle-News

The Lady Trojans finished third in the region, wrapping up the season with a defeat at the hands of #4 ranked Otero in the Region IX playoffs. The Trojans had a strong season, despite having to deal with a host of injuries, finishing with an 11-8-1 record.

The Region announced its end-of-the-year awards and seven Lady Trojan play-ers were honored. Making first-team were sophomores Hilda Romo and Daisy Perez, as well as freshman Vanessa Madera. Earning second-team honors were sopho-mores Braelah McGinnis and Courtney Lowry, along with freshman Heather Thomp-son. Sophomore Erica Briseno was named honorable mention.

Romo is a center midfielder who does a great job distributing the ball and setting up

attacking opportunities for her teammates. She scored six goals this season while handing out 10 assists. Perez is an offensive midfielder who scored 23 goals in her two years at TSJC. This past season she was consistently getting shots on goal and setting her teammates up in the attacking third. Madera was the last line of defense in front of the Trojan keepers. She consistently cleared the ball when teams went on the attack, setting up attacks with her long goal kicks.

McGinnis used her speed and athleticism to constantly push the Trojans into attacks while forcing the defenders onto their heels. She scored four goals and assisted on four oth-ers. Lowry was injured for a good part of the season but returned to help in the playoffs.

The Trojan defender had one goal and two assists this season. Thompson was a wall in goal for the Lady Trojans, stopping 128 shots for an .831 aver-age. Briseno broke a col-larbone midway through the year and the Trojans missed her speed on the attack. Before her injury she had four goals and an assist.

The Trojans improved this season making it into

the semifinals and winning two more games than last year. They will say goodbye to a talented sophomore class, but do have a good base of talent to build upon next season.

Storm brings more chill than snow in Colorado

DENVER (AP) — Temperatures aren’t ex-pected to get out of the teens in parts of eastern Colorado thanks to the remnants of a powerful storm that hit Alaska over the weekend.

The Denver area didn’t get much accumulat-ing snow but about an inch piled up in the Colo-rado Springs area by Tuesday morning.

The northern and central mountains have received up to around 6 inches of snow although temperatures are more mild now in western Colorado than in the eastern half of the state.

In Denver, it was 12 degrees around sunrise there and the high wasn’t expected to get past 20.

Deicing is causing some short delays at Den-ver International Airport but traffic was mostly moving smoothly on the state’s roads.

Another North Fork coal mine cut-ting 150 jobs

PAONIA, Colo. (AP) — Colorado’s North Fork Valley is losing more coal jobs.

After losing its contract to sell coal to the Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation’s larg-est public utility, the operator of the Bowie No. 2 mine near Paonia is eliminating 150 jobs. Bowie Resource Partners also cited the overall weak-ness in coal demand in making the announce-ment Wednesday.

The job losses come less than a year after Oxbow Mining suspended operations at its Elk Creek Mine after a fire blocked access to long-wall mining machinery.

Paonia mayor Neal Schwieterman told the Daily Sentinel every resident knows at least one family affected by these two rounds of layoffs.

“If these things are going to happen, I wish they’d happen further apart,” he said. “We’re just a little shell-shocked.”

About 200 miners will remain at the Bowie mine.

Bowie Resources Partners praised the Bow-ie coal miners for their commitment to hard work and safety offered to pay to relocate them to its other underground mines in Utah.

In addition to the possible loss of neighbors, the layoffs are expected to reduce sales tax and severance tax revenues in the area and could possibly lead to more changes in area schools. The Delta County School District cut 19 posi-tions through attrition and cuts to its sports programs after enrollment dropped because of the Oxbow layoffs, superintendent Caryn Gib-son said.

“It hurts our district and our families and we’re all connected,” she said.

One bright spot for the coal industry has been the hiring of 50 contract workers for Arch Coal’s West Elk Mine near Somerset. About 250 people applied for those jobs in June.

2 women shot sitting on porch PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Two women were in-

jured when they were shot while sitting on their porch Sunday night.

Pueblo police Sgt. Frank Ortega says the women had non-life-threating injuries.

According to the Pueblo Chief, police say it was a drive-by shooting and they believe the women were targeted.

Officers free deer tangled in baseball net

DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — Wildlife officers have freed a deer that got tangled in a baseball net near Durango High School.

The large buck was discovered by a passer-by on Saturday, who notified authorities.

The Durango Herald reports wildlife officers sawed off the antlers with a hacksaw and the buck was free. The animal was apparently un-injured and ran off.

Wildlife officials say bucks often get tangled in hammocks or other netting this time of year and drag it around until their antlers fall off, but it was easier to cut them off instead.
