School funds eyed to cover county budget shortfall
Frederick County faces a 3.48 million gap as the Board of Education declines to cut its budget. Budget official Harold Keller Jr. says over 4.5 million unbudgeted funds exist in the treasury from a 1990 audit, with 15.17 million in unreserved balances but state rules require 5 percent be set aside. County officials skeptical, noting past allocations and questions about sources. The school board faces deficits from higher fuel costs, enrollment increases, deferred textbook purchases, and prior deficits in food services, totaling about 310 thousand in excess shortfall.

Yellow ribbon rush orders tie Jeanne Bussard Workshop
At the Jeanne Bussard Workshop in Frederick workers struggle to keep up with a rush of yellow ribbon orders sparked by the Persian Gulf War. Since Jan 16 the center has sold hundreds of bows to banks, churches, companies and individuals, with prices from 10 cents to 2.50. The shop funds its operation largely from sales and contracts, including a $100,000 laundry deal with Fort Detrick, while not seeking profit from the ribbons.
