Teen columnist sought for Double Take

It’s time again for the annual Double Take essay contest to find next year’s co-author. Once again the Family Therapy Institute Midwest and Central National Bank have put together a scholarship fund of $1,100 for the co-author’s freshman year in college. Family therapist Wes Crenshaw’s co-writer should be a senior – or exceptional junior – in the 2008-2009 school year at a Douglas County school. The one-year commitment also requires maturity, strong writing skills, an open mind and column ideas for at least six to 10 times a year. The deadline to enter is 5 p.m. May 9.
