Caitlyn Cook was crowned the 2011 Yearbook Queen at the 62nd Conway High School Beauty Revue on Thursday night. Cook was one of 18 contestants entered in the contest. Lexie Beauford was first runner-up, followed by Alli Mathis as second runner-up. Other finalists were Alexis Hervey, Elizabeth Banister, Madison Cole and Madison Foster.

The Conway Police Department was host this week to 11 agencies across Central Arkansas who participated in a hands-on DWI class. About 30 officers participated in the three-day course of Standardized Field Sobriety. The course is designed to simulate traffic stops that officers might conduct, where alcohol has inhibited a motorist. According to officials, 10 community volunteers consumed alcohol in a "controlled environment" each of the three nights on department grounds and submitted to field sobriety testing.

Conway's pilot curbside recycling program has been a resounding success, and organizers are ready to follow it up by offering recycling options to half the city by the beginning of summer. The weekly pickup of recyclables by the city is currently serving 800 residents. It is estimated a new route serving up to 1,600 residents will be added each month starting in April.

The Faulkner County Senior Citizens Program recently hired Diane Frizzell as the new Greenbrier Senior Citizen Center program coordinator. Mrs. Frizzell is a certified licensed activity director. She served about eight years as activity director at the Heritage Center in Conway. She and her husband, Ted, reside in the Springhill community.

Students in Debby Ford's fifth-grade class at Vilonia Elementary School made Arkansas maps using items such as flour, salt and water. Ms. Ford said she gave students a list of items that needed to be shown on the map, such as the six geographic regions, rivers and cities. Many students added other information. For instance, Brooke Newkirk also marked the birthplaces of some of her relatives, and Heath Waite formed mountains and plateaus out of the flour mixture.

Volunteers from the Faulkner County chapter of the American Red Cross working today at the Veterans Hospital in Little Rock were Mrs. Grace Johnson, Mrs. J.E. Loveless, Mrs. J.E. McGuire, Mrs. Buford E. Robins, Mrs. Ed Schneider, and Mrs. Laymont V. Woodruff.

Conway's tropical fish shop is now under new ownership. Cletis Barlow, an Oklahoma native who has been a safety engineer at the Blytheville Air Force Base for five years, has bought the Tropic Shop from R.C. Goff, who retired. Barlow moved the shop, which specializes in tropical fish and fish equipment, from a location on Washington Avenue to 918 Van Ronkle St. He is introducing a new family of fish – the cichlid – which he said has never been sold in Conway. Barlow and his wife, Joann, have a daughter and live at the University Apartments.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year
