tags are available at the Town Hall at the cost of $1.00.
We have had several discussions this season on how to cook a conch. A conch is unfamiliar
territory to many of us so we have both read and asked. First, getting the conch out of its shell:
you can crack the shell with a hammer. (Our best source said that you never attempt to boil
it in the shell or it would be tougher than rubber.) You can also freeze the conch and when you
thaw it you pull the meat gently from the shell. Remove the fleshy foot, discard the viscera
and remove the homy covering by slipping a knife under it and pulling it off. Then, says our
local advisor, clean the foot thoroughly, split the meat lengthwise, and pound it with a wooden
mallet. Cook in a pressure cooker with onions and potatoes, add commeal dumplings, and you
will have a rich, tasty stew. Any other recipes? We welcome suggestions because there have
been lots of conch in our crab pots lately.
Here’s hoping, Nice,

ment to everyone involved, there were glim
mers of silver linings amidst the gloom. PKS
Mayor Joan Lamson and other officials are
exploring the possibility that PKS could get
some of the sand that will become available in
2005 when the outer harbor channel is
dredged. That could provide sand of better
quality to be placed on the PKS beach. “It is
quite possible,” says the mayor, “that we
could windup in a better position. If we’re
going to make an investment in this, we
should make it right.”
The mayor points out that a wide, well-
nourished beach is critical to the protection of
property and the health of tourism in the
region. She says the Corps of Engineers should
fully investigate all the circumstances sur
rounding the current problems. She and other
local officials believe such an assessment
could lead to better future management of
sand resources. The head of the Corps in this
district has promised to get to the bottom of
the situation.
Local officials are also exploring the ques
tion of what happens to the $3 million in
federal funds allocated for the PKS portion of
the pump-out project. The federal funds
represent 65 percent of the cost, with the
lions’ share of the remainder to come from
the state.
