| Davises surprised to receive Good Neighbor Award
When Conway Area Chamber of Commerce Chairman Johnny Adams began to describe the recipients of the Good Neighbor Award at the recent annual meeting, Milton and Claudia Davis thought something sounded strangely familiar about those folks. The couple was presented with the award after almost 30 years of volunteerism and philanthropy in the community. Milton Davis is a financial advisor for Edward Jones with his offices at Toad Suck Square, and both he and Claudia Davis have volunteered in numerous capacities. The couple laughed while sharing that it took a while for them to realize they were the ones Adams was describing. Claudia Davis said, "We were very shocked. When they started describing the person, they mentioned one graduated from UCA in 1955, and I thought, 'We probably know these people.' They mentioned they lived in a little three-room house, and I thought, 'They started out just like we did.' It just didn't dawn on me.

A Fresh Perspective on Fish
Growing up, anytime mom left town for the weekend, my brother and I knew what was coming and we didn't like it. There was no need to even look in the freezer, because Pops would have them crackling in the microwave soon enough.Fish sticks. Frozen, gushy, tasteless nuggets of faux-white fish, the absolute Spam of the sea. The only thing worse than these soggy interpretations of bottom-feeding fish like haddock or pollock was the school cafeteria variety, which were rock hard, non-penetratable fried "filets" better served as paper weights — tasted like paper, too. I could never put enough ketchup on fish sticks, even as my father consecrated them as a choice meal from his own childhood.If you're observing Lent this year, choosing to eat fish on Fridays, you've likely endured fish sticks as well.
