Since 1989 the General Assembly has appropriated $168,855 to Longwood College for the Continuing Education Center's operation here.
This year, with renovations scheduled to begin in April to convert a South Boston historic tobacco warehouse into a new CEC facility, Longwood is asking the General Assembly for an additional $631,323 over a two-year period, but House and Senate budgets released Sunday fall short.
House appropriations for the biennium totalled $100,000, with no new CEC positions. Longwood is seeking 3.5 additional full-time positions at the CEC over the biennium.
The Senate budget appropriated $300,000 for the biennium with one new CEC position.
Next, the two budgets go to conference committee to work out the differences between the House and Senate appropriations.
Longwood College officials are expected to push hard for the larger Senate appropriation.
The overall budget committee has to complete its work by midnight on March 7, according to Brenda Atkins, director of legislative affairs for Longwood College.
The House and Senate will approve a budget in early March and forward it to Gov. James Gilmore. The governor may veto or amend the budget. The General Assembly returns April 19 to address the governor's revisions.
The Halifax Educational Foundation is leading the CEC project, which involves the renovation of about 30,000 square feet of the 70,000-square-foot tobacco warehouse.
Construction is scheduled to begin this spring. The HEF hopes to complete the project in 10 to 12 months with occupancy in the summer of 2001.
The HEF's $1.75 million CEC campaign drive has reached 95 percent of its goal, according to R.O. Harrell, HEF vice chairman. The privately raised fund will match the $1.75 million bond referendum approved by county residents.
The total cost of the CEC project is estimated at $3.5 million.
The CEC is designed to offer higher education and work-force training programs.
The South Central Virginia Higher Education Consortium will provide CEC programs, offering both degree and non-degree courses.
Dr. Patricia Cormier, president of Longwood College, serves as chairman of the consortium. Other consortium members include the presidents of Danville Community College, Southside Virginia Community College and Averett College, as well as the chairman and vice chairman of the HEF.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The General Assembly's money committees have recommended giving teachers a raise, boosting mental health funding, and drastically cutting Gov. Jim Gilmore's anti-drug abuse initiative.
Those were among the top items in the committees' proposed  revisions to Gilmore's two-year, $48.1 billion state budget. The Senate and the House of Delegates will vote on their committees' recommendations Thursday.
Budget negotiators from the two chambers will work out a compromise spending plan before the General Assembly's scheduled  March 11 adjournment.
One of the top priorities of the House Appropriations Committee  was giving a raise to public school teachers, who got nothing in Gilmore's proposed budget.
''If we are going to continue to ask more of our teachers, we must be willing to fairly compensate them for their work,'' said Del. Lacey Putney, an independent from Bedford County and chairman of the compensation subcommittee in the House.
The Senate Finance Committee on Sunday joined its House counterpart in recommending a 2.4 percent raise for teachers. However, only the House panel appropriated the money. The Senate committee urged local school districts to fund the raises from increased state aid to public education.
Delegates went along with Gilmore's proposed 2.4 percent raise for state employees, while the senators recommended a 3.5 percent increase. Both recommended college faculty raises averaging 3.5 percent.
Another high priority was funding for mental health. Some legislators, as well as advocates for the mentally ill, were disappointed that Gilmore increased mental health funding by only $12 million. The Senate committee recommended $40 million beyond what Gilmore proposed, and the House panel recommended $19 million more.
Gilmore's proposed $41.5 million Substance Abuse Reduction Effort, or SABRE, would be cut by about a third in the House budget. The Senate cut the anti-drug initiative by $6.5 million. Gilmore's proposal calls for treatment for drug offenders and addition of 200 state troopers to investigate drug crimes.
The House panel also rejected three of Gilmore's top tourism initiatives: $6 million to build regional visitors' centers, $2.2 million to promote Virginia golf courses and $2 million to attract moviemakers to the state. The Senate would cut the visitors' centers by $4 million, the film fund by $1 million.
The Senate plan provides for $294.3 million in general funds for expeditious fixes on the state's most pressing highway needs, plus an additional $190 million for startup costs for a Dulles Airport rail shuttle, a high-speed rail along the Interstate 95 corridor and a railway that would provide passenger service from Bristol through the Blue Ridge to Washington and to Richmond.
''We've talked about that and talked about that for years, and just to get started on it and get money appropriated has got me thrilled,'' said Sen. Madison Marye, D-Montgomery County. ''What that means for folks down my way is that I-81 would no longer be the main artery. When you get hair the color of mine (gray), you don't like to get out there on I-81.''
The House calls for $1.3 billion in transportation improvements, based on legislation passed Thursday.
The Senate recommended $12.3 million from the state general fund for 7,000 textile workers displaced by recent plant closures and their spouses and children. It includes textile workers in Danville and Martinsville as well as those in Franklin, Henry, Patrick and Carroll counties.
''We structured in something for those areas with special needs. You look at it statewide, and when we started crunching the numbers, we saw that it wasn't just (the Martinsville) area, but Carroll County gets in, too,'' said Sen. Frederick Quayle, R-Chesapeake.
The House budget includes language authorizing Gilmore to provide health insurance for unemployed textile workers if future state revenues exceed projections. By one vote, the House last week approved an aid package for workers left jobless when Tultex Corp. and several other textile companies in Martinsville closed their doors. Gilmore opposed the legislation.
The Senate committee adopted a recommendation to restore language from legislation last year to pay $58,000 in claims from the 1998 right-to-die case of Hugh Finn, $48,000 of which goes to Finn's widow, Michele Finn for her legal and related expenses. A lawsuit the state filed challenging the disbursement has held up the payment. Another $10,000 would go to Finn's brother, John Finn.
The House budget includes $2.45 million for the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, which suffered the largest per capita loss of soldiers in the June 1944 invasion of Normandy. The Senate approved $500,000 for the project.

Virginia State Police have warrants outstanding for 25-year-old Danielle Renee Tidwell of Vernon Hill, a former bookkeeper with Colonial Homes Center of South Boston. She is charged with forgery stemming from what sources close to the investigation say could involve over $100,000 from her former employer,
Tidwell is believed to have left the state to avoid prosecution and the search for her whereabouts includes the state of Arizona.
Those with whom Tidwell worked generally describe her as quiet and friendly and hardly someone who might do the things she is being accused of. Her estranged husband even works as a law enforcement officer.
But on the day before her disappearance, she is suspected of having destroyed accounting and expense records stored in the computer that she used to perform her duties. Colonial Homes Center owner Don Woodward says those records might account for what he believes to be over $100,000 missing.
The investigation is being led by State Police Special Agent Carl Bond. Other than saying that the search for the suspect and the investigation were continuing, Bond refused to provide any details.
Woodward said that Tidwell came to work for him as a bookkeeper in 1992, left for a brief time and was rehired in 1998.
A few weeks ago, Woodward said that Tidwell failed to show up for work and called in to say that her grandmother had died and that she would be in later.
The next morning, Woodward said that he found a note in his office from Tidwell explaining that she had left for Missouri for the burial and would return on the following Monday.
Woodward said he later learned that Tidwell had no known relatives in Missouri.
Woodward said that he, along with his accountant, began to investigate bank deposit records only to discover that some amounts entered as cash receipts were never actually deposited in the company's bank account. Tidwell's duties, according to Woodward, included making all bank deposits and drafting checks including payroll.
Woodward accused her of writing checks to herself, forging his signature and depositing them into her personal banking account at Crestar Bank. He said that several of those checks just prior to her leaving totaled over $30,000.
According to Woodward, investigators are attempting to retrieve from Tidwell's computer a number of records which were destroyed. It is the same computer which Tidwell used to surf the Internet and, according to Woodward, to send e-mail messages to places including Arizona.
Long distance phone calls made from Colonial Homes Center's South Boston sales lot, according to Woodward, were made to Glendale, Arizona.
Woodward said that Tidwell was spending an inordinate amount of time on the Internet, something which he had warned her about prior to her leaving. On the day before her disappearance, he said she had changed her hair color from blond to a "rusty red."
State and local authorities have asked that persons having knowledge or information of Tidwell's whereabouts notify the nearest law enforcement agency.

A Halifax woman was injured Thursday night when a tractor trailer collided with the compact car she was driving.
Trooper R.C. Compton said Karen Elaine Fallen, 38, was injured when the 1998 Kia she was driving collided with the 1999 Volvo tractor trailer driven by Kernie Brewer, 42, of Albertville, Alabama.
The trooper said Brewer made an illegal U-turn on Route 58, two-tenths of a mile east of Industrial Park Road, placing the trailer across both west-bound lanes.
Fallen was traveling west on Route 58 and collided with the center portion of the trailer before coming to a rest off of the right side of the road, said Compton.
The trooper estimated $10,000 in damages to the Fallen vehicle after the 9:48 p.m. crash and $2,500 in estimated damages to the tractor trailer.
Brewer was charged with the failure to obey a highway sign.
· A 16-year-old Virgilina youth was charged with reckless driving Saturday night after a crash at the intersection of Red Bank Road (Route 734) and Bowen Road (Route 736).
Trooper Compton said a 15-year-old passenger received minor injuries from the 10:25 p.m. crash after the driver lost control of a 1987 Honda.
The trooper said the vehicle ran off of the left side of the road and overturned.
Compton charged the youth with reckless driving; failure to maintain control.

In other police reports,
A Clover woman was arrested Monday by sheriff's deputies on a felony charge of fraudulent conversion on the removal of leased property.
Yvonne Cousins, 34, of Newbill Road, was charged with the intent to dispose of a dining room suite owned by Ace TV Rentals, Inc., while subject to a written lease.
Cousins allegedly attempted to dispose of the furniture, valued more than $200, on November 15, 1999.
· Wanda Ann Canada, 47, of Clays Mill Road in Scottsburg, was arrested Monday by sheriff's deputies on the charge of operating a vehicle while a habitual offender.
Canada is scheduled to appear in Halifax County General District Court on February 28.

James Wagner, director of transportation for Halifax County public schools said he will pursue court officials after a school bus fight Monday afternoon involving four youths.
Wagner said the pursuit of a juvenile petition for assault will be made at the Halifax County Juvenile and Domestic Court after four youths got into a fight on board a school bus headed southbound on Wilborn Avenue.
Two of the youths are enrolled in the Career Center while another is a high school student.
The driver, a substitute, was unaware that the fourth youth involved in the fight was not enrolled in the high school or middle school and had boarded the bus.
Wagner said the fourth youth will face trespassing charges.
After the fight broke out, the driver turned off Wilborn Avenue on to Beechmont Road to get out of the flow of traffic and called by two-way radio the Transportion Department.
A South Boston police officer was flagged down by the driver as two of the youths got off the bus and got into a car.
The high school youth and a student enrolled at the Career Center remained on the bus.
Wagner said a camera on the bus captured the 3:45 p.m. incident on film and the investigation is on-going the Halifax County School Board.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The same nicotine that makes cigarettes so addictive may also have a good side. Researchers say it shows  promise against Parkinson's disease and a variety of other brain  conditions.
In a variety of studies reviewed Monday, doctors said the evidence is mounting that nicotine can relieve symptoms by changing the way brain uses message-carrying chemicals called neurotransmitters.
Researchers are testing nicotine patches for neurological diseases in both children and the elderly, and drug companies are competing to develop nicotine substitutes that have fewer side effects.
At a conference Monday, doctors said the field's first gold-standard study - one in which dummy treatments are rigorously compared with the real thing - suggests the patch shows promise in children with Tourette's syndrome, a strange affliction in which victims may have violent urges and shout obscenities, and exhibit a spate of tics.
Still, nicotine has many drawbacks, including its unsavory reputation as the addictive grabber in cigarettes. Some experts believe nicotine's real future is in fake forms of the drug.
''The problem with nicotine is that it is nicotine. You're asking parents to put their kids on nicotine,'' said Dr. Paul R. Sanberg of the University of South Florida, who has tested the drug on more than 100 young Tourette's patients.
Typically, doctors treat Tourette's with Haldol, a powerful tranquilizer that is also used against schizophrenia. In the latest study, Sanberg and colleagues combined nicotine patches and Haldol in 70 children, half of whom got dummy patches.
The study found those on nicotine did better and were able to control their symptoms with lower than usual doses of Haldol. ''The data suggest that a low-dose nicotine patch may be useful in Tourette's syndrome,'' said Sanberg.
He and others experimenting with nicotine described their research at a conference sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Nicotine patches and gum are available in drugstores without prescriptions. They are intended to help smokers wean themselves off cigarettes.
The researchers cautioned that smoking is a bad way to get medical nicotine. Besides the obvious cancer risk, drug levels spike much higher in cigarettes.
They also say more research is needed before nicotine patches become routine to treat diseases. However, Sanberg said that if Tourette's patients cannot control their symptoms with standard drugs, a low-dose patch might be worth trying.
Nicotine has been tested for many years in small-scale experiments against Alzheimer's disease and more recently against Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's causes tremors, rigid limbs and a shuffling walk, and like Alzheimer's, it may also result in problems with memory and thinking.
Dr. Paul Newhouse of the University of Vermont tried nicotine patches on 15 Parkinson's patients. Although there was no comparison group, his pilot study suggested that nicotine substantially improved their movement and relieved their mental difficulties.
Newhouse also tested a synthetic form of nicotine, Abbott Laboratories' ABT-418, on six Alzheimer's patients. Despite its small size, Newhouse said patients showed ''a significant improvement in verbal learning and memory'' on standardized tests.
Since no drug firms have exclusive rights to nicotine, researchers say companies have little interest in paying for studies to prove its health benefits. However, several are working on nicotine substitutes that can be patented. These drugs could be more precisely targeted against specific disorders, carry fewer side effects and be available as pills rather than patches.
Nicotine is thought to work by regulating the brain's levels of message-carrying chemicals, such as dopamine and acetylcholine. Researchers say they see no sign that patients get hooked on the patch. The main side effects are nausea and itching around the patch.
Another drawback of the patch is the possibility it might trigger heart attacks, as the much higher nicotine in cigarettes can. Sanberg said that in his studies, children's heart rates rise about 10 percent, but they show no other obvious heart effects.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Forty-one percent of tobacco farm workers reportedly contracted ''green tobacco sickness,'' a form of acute nicotine poisoning, at least once last summer, a study issued Monday said.
The study by a Wake Forest University School of Medicine  epidemiologist called it an occupational health risk. It warned the number of cases may be on the rise as family tobacco farms are consolidated and more work is done by seasonal farm workers.
The illness occurs when a person comes in contact with moist tobacco leaves. The moisture is absorbed rapidly through the skin and into the bloodstream. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches and cramps.
Writing in the current American Journal of Industrial Medicine,  Sarah A. Quandt and four colleagues at the Wake Forest medical school reported that green tobacco sickness was first documented in medical literature in 1970, but rarely came to doctors' attention.
She said it may have occurred less often 30 years ago because tobacco then was grown largely on small tobacco farms, where exposure to wet tobacco leaves was limited.
''Instead of family groups with a few workers doing a relatively small amount of tobacco work, there are now hired, low-paid, usually minority workers working in tobacco almost exclusively for eight to 12 weeks each year,'' Quandt said. ''These workers are exposed to the risks of tobacco work for longer, more intensive periods of time than was ever the case for farming families.''
The study said the problem may be aggravated by rows being spaced closer together because production research has determined that increases production weight. It also increases the amount of workers' contact with wet leaves, the study said.
Most workers do not seek medical treatment for green tobacco illness, Quandt said.
''Many farm workers believe they will be fired and lose their incomes if they get sick or work too slowly,'' Quandt said.
The three-year study is being financed by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety.

Old clunkers in the weeds tend to have squatting rights, however, county residents can get rid of their junk cars for free.
That is the message of Jennifer Hochstein, the Litter Control and Recycling coordinator for the Halifax County Improvement Council, reemphasizing the Abandoned Vehicle Program.
Hochstein said residents can call a recycling center or the county and arrangements will be made to remove the vehicles at no charge.
The vehicle program, authorized approximately twenty years ago by the state legislature, was enacted to "clean up junked, inoperable or abandoned vehicles throughout the state," said Jerry Lovelace, assistant county administrator.
Recyclers in the area do the vehicle collections and the certification papers that are submitted to the county, the county then checks for state guidelines, such as proper signatures on forms, and the information is submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
"DMV then goes through a review process to assure that no serial numbers are on stolen vehicles or not previously turned in by other recyclers," said Lovelace.
After the forms are reviewed, DMV pays the county $50 per vehicle.
The money is split 50 percent with the recycler and additional money is paid to the recycler, "depending on what other materials they work with in recycling that keeps them out of a landfill, such as glass, aluminum, metals, paper, plastic, etc., so that recycling can get up to 80 percent or $40 while the county retains the balance," said Lovelace.
Lovelace said the number of vehicles removed since the program began is in the thousands, and exceeds somewhere between 10,000 to 15,000, with an average over the last five or six years consisting of about a thousand cars a year.
"We need to keep reminding people that this program still exists," said Hochstein.
With two recyclers in the business, a property owner's arrangement is a matter of signing a form releasing the vehicle to the recycler.
For information about recyclers in the area, contact Jennifer Hochstein of the Halifax County Improvement Council at 476-3308.

"It's a one game deal."
That's how Halifax County High School basketball coach Garrett Dillard describes tonight's 7 p.m. game in Charlottesville against Albemarle in the semifinals of the Western District Tournament.
"This game, if we win it, is definitely new life," Dillard said.
"Win, and we keep playing. It could mean an automatic bid to the regionals. Lose and we come home and hang up our stuff for the season. We definitely don't want to do that."
The Comets, 2-4 in the Western District and 8-11 overall, have a huge carrot dangling in front of them - a berth in the Northwest Region Tournament.
If the Comets defeat Albemarle tonight, they will advance to Friday night's tournament championship game where they will face the winner of tonight's E.C. Glass-GW game which is being played in Danville.
Assuming that GW wins tonight, as it is heavily favored to do, a win by the Comets tonight would send them back to Danville Friday night for a rematch against GW.
And, if there is a Comets-GW rematch Friday night, the Comets will advance to the Northwest Region Tournament regardless of the outcome of that game.
"That (making it to the Northwest Region Tournament) has been our one goal the whole season." Dillard said.
"We have not set any other goals. We've played well enough in some games to get there. If we get there and get some confidence, we can make some things happen."
Albemarle has been a team that has seemingly had the Comets' number.
The Patriots have beaten the Comets in each of their past five meetings dating back through last season.
Dillard has not beaten Albemarle since taking over the reigns of the Comets.
Instead of taking that in a negative light, Dillard sees tonight's game as a challenge.
"As a coach, it is a challenge to try and figure out what we can do differently to try to beat them," Dillard said.
"If a team keeps doing the same things against you, you have to figure out what it takes to beat them. It's a challenge to come up with the right game plan.
"We have to find a way for us to win," Dillard added.
"As coaches, myself, Coach Cowans and Coach Sands have to come up with the right game plan and the guys have to implement it.
" It's kind of like an industry,' he continued.
"You've got to have the right equipment and you've also go to have the right people working on the right equipment."
Dillard said it is no secret what Albemarle will try to do against the Comets defensively.
"We know what they will try to do," he pointed out.
"They're going to run a box and one on Fred (guard Fred Price) and double team William (forward William Jennings) down on the post."
There are things that the Comets can do to counter those moves," Dillard said.
"We've got to put our shooters into the game and get them to the open spots and hope the shots will fall."
The shooters that Dillard refers to are Terez Garland, Carleton Roach, Sterling Williams, and Josh Milam.
"Working against a zone defense, these guys have to catch the ball, spot up, shoot it, and make the shots," the Comets coach pointed out.
"We also have to find a way to get Fred involved either as a scorer, a decoy, or a passer," added Dillard.
"He has to get involved in the offense so that he's not just playing on one end of the floor."
In a handful of games, opposing teams have managed to take Price and Jennings out of the flow of their normal game and caused the Comets to lose focus.
"That hurt us up there (at Albemarle earlier this season) and it hurt us Friday night in Danville against GW," Dillard said.
"We have to convince the guys that they can do other things like rebound, play good hard defense, go up for shots and get fouled and make the free throws.
"The guys have to stay mentally tough," Dillard pointed out.
"It's tough. But, we have to stay focused on doing the things we have to do to win."
The key point of emphasis tonight, Dillard says, is for the team to position itself where it has a chance to win down the stretch.
"My goal is for us to get a five, six or seven-point lead in the second half so that we can bring the ball out and make Albemarle play us man-to-man," Dillard explained.
"If we get the lead, we can slow the game down offensively and make them come out of their zone defense and play us.
"I don't think they can match up with us man-to-man," the Comets coach added.
"But, we haven't been able to do that."
In the most recent meeting of the two teams in Charlottesville, the Comets got the lead but were not able to finish off the Patriots.
"We got the lead in the first half and just didn't finish it," Dillard stated.
"If we give ourselves a chance we have some things we can do as coaches to win the ball game. All we want is a chance."
