Submissions sought for writing contest

Wabash Valley residents with an interest in creative writing have an opportunity to win $500 as part of the James Jones Lincoln Trail Creative Writing Contest.

Submissions must be original, at least 1,500 words, typed and include the required cover page. The author’s name is to appear on the cover page only, not on the manuscript. All pages are to be numbered and include the short story title on the top left of every page.

To be considered for the award, writers must be: a high school senior or at least 18 years old or older officially residing in Crawford or Clark County, Ill.; or an LTC graduate. Students who have already earned LTC credit, high school seniors graduating this spring who will attend LTC at least part-time during the next academic year and current LTC students are particularly encouraged to enter their stories.

Applicants cannot have been published professionally, meaning received payment.

Submissions must be turned in to Danelle Hevron in the LTC Marketing Office no later than June 30. Cover pages are available from the LTC Marketing Office, LTC Eagleton Learning Resource Center, area high school English teachers, Robinson Public Library, other Crawford County libraries, Clark County high schools, Marshall Public Library and online at www.jamesjonesliterarysociety.org. JJLS reserves the right not to award the $500 should there be an insufficient number of entries or if no entry is judged acceptable.

For more information, call Lincoln Trail College at (618) 544-8657, ext. 1123.

• TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake

  This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.

  It’s merely one word, yet the conjunction of those six letters conjures up so many meanings and feelings.

They can guide us on our journey, pick us up when we fall, and let go when we must find our own strength.
