Here's an essay contest you might win. Warning: you might want to pay attention to the prize.

Carbondale's mayor, Brad Cole, announced that his New Year's resolution was to get married, but, he doesn't have anybody in mind. So some friends of his decided to find somebody. Interested?

One good thing about Mayor Cole is that he's a worldly guy. He got a friendship plaza built as an international gesture to our sister cities, and he's been abroad. Furthermore, he always talks to our students when we send them to him for information or an interview.

So, good luck in the essay contest!
