Richmond - Following several tragic fatalities last year, a comprehensive slate of teen driving restrictions passed by the recent General Assembly takes effect July 1.

ROXBORO, N.C. (AP) - Vector Tobacco has paid $8.1 million for a Person County factory building where it plans to start producing its low-nicotine cigarette by the fall.
The company closed the deal Friday on the former Crown Crafts building, a 326,000-square-foot facility off U.S. 501, said chief operating officer Tim Jackson.
It's unclear what sort of market response the new cigarette, manufactured from genetically engineered tobacco, will have.
''It's not complete guessing,'' Jackson said. ''This is such a novel type of product that there is no way to anticipate its market share.''
Vector plans to invest up to $50 million in the operation and initially will hire 50 to 80 production employees.
The company's products will be aimed at smokers who are trying to quit. One cigarette type will have nearly no nicotine and another will use tobacco that's been chemically treated to reduce carcinogens.
Production of the cigarettes is scheduled to start in October and the plant should be able to produce 10 billion to 15 billion cigarettes a year by June 2002, Jackson said.
Vector Tobacco of Durham is owned by Miami-based Vector Group and is a sister company of the Liggett Group Inc.
Alan Hicks, chairman of the county economic development group, said the Vector deal could provide alternatives for tobacco farmers.
Vector has contracted with farmers in Mississippi, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Illinois to grow about 5,000 acres of the new tobacco.
Chad Mohamed is among those farming the about 300 acres in Mississippi, devoting 20 acres of his farm to the tobacco. Mohamed said he sees the new crop as an opportunity to offset the depressed market prices of his cotton and soybeans.
''We were guaranteed a profit margin,'' Mohamed said. ''One acre of tobacco will generate more than seven acres of high-yielding cotton.''
Vector is supplying the seedlings for the first crop. Farmers receive a contract growers fee when the plants are harvested this fall. If the crop meets expectations, farmers will grow next year's crop without assistance and sell to Vector for $1.50 per pound.
Vector nearly didn't go through with the deal to buy the plant because of a bill in the North Carolina Legislature that eventually was withdrawn. The bill was intended to regulate genetically altered tobacco, making it a crime to mix modified leaf with traditional tobacco plants.

Local residents gathered together Saturday to celebrate Juneteenth, the oldest celebration of the ending of slavery in America.
A inter-denominational ceremony at the former slave quarters on the grounds of AXA Berry Hill started the day, featuring remarks by local historian Jesse Hawkins, Greg Poirier, director of AXA/Berry Hill, and several selections from a choir directed by Kenneth Cranford.
Jesse Hawkins, in remarks made during the program, said that Berry Hill brought him as close as he ever could be to his forefathers.
"I sat on the porch (of the plantation house) and visualized old black men building the walls, old black men working in the fields..."
Relating how Berry Hill still moved him when he came, Hawkins said he could still "smell smoked ham in the smokehouse...I know who did the work, who stored the food, who built the walls."
Those attending the program later took a walking tour of Diamond Hill Cemetery, final resting place for the slaves who worked at Berry Hill Plantation.
The Juneteenth Celebration continued with events at The Prizery, featuring music by the D.C.C. Gospel Choir and remarks by the guest speaker, the Rev. Dr. Ralph Reaves of Lynchburg University.
A barbecue lunch was then provided, followed by an arts and crafts exhibition.
The observance of June 19 as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States, Canada and beyond. Juneteenth became the real Independence Day for African Americans on April 17, 1997, when the U.S. Senate adopted legislation officially recognizing the day.

One streak ended at South Boston Speedway Saturday night and a new one started.
Timothy Peters of Providence, N.C. snapped Brandon Butler's four-race win streak by sweeping the Sprint Twin 75's NASCAR Weekly Racing Series Late Model Stock Car Division race.
Driving a Chevrolet owned by "Goo" and Dolly Fallen of South Boston, Peters led every lap in both races to up his win total at South Boston Speedway to three for the season.
Peters edged veteran Eddie Johnson of Ashland by .60 second in the opener and drove to a whopping 2.97 second win over Butler in the nightcap.
It was a feat that caught Peters somewhat by surprise.
"I knew we had a good car when we came over here and tested Friday," Peters said.
"I knew we could come in here and have a good top three run but to come away with two wins is awesome."
Butler, who finished fifth in the first race and second in the nightcap, maintained his lead in the South Boston Speedway Late Model Stock Car Division point standings but lost 10 points to Peters.
"We were just a tick off all night long," said Butler.
"We had a good car in that second race. Usually we have a lot of cautions. We didn't have any toward the end. I think we could have run with him (Peters). I don't know if we could have done anything with him but we'd liked to have given it a shot."
Butler, who drove for Fallen last season, gracefully credited Peters and the Fallen Racing Team on their wins.
"My hat's off to "Goo" and Dolly and Timothy and everybody on that team," Butler said.
"If I've got to lose to somebody I'd just as soon lose to the guys I drove for last year."
Peters had a sometimes frustrating run in the first race.
Just about the time that he could gain a substantial lead, a caution flag would erase it.
"I was worried about that," Peters said.
"But there is nobody better to race with than Eddie Johnson. He raced me clean. I'm glad I could race with him. A rookie like myself can come out here and race with these champions and learn a lot. I'm just glad to be a part of it.
Peters got some help at the outset of the opener when a jam in the lead pack among H.C. Sellers III, Johnson, Scott Worley, Jim Sink and Butler created a shuffle in positions.
It also allowed Peters to get a clear lead before the race's first mishap occurred on the second lap.
Sink, who had started fifth, found himself in second with Johnson in third, Nick Woodward, who had started in seventh place, in the fourth spot and ninth-place starter Chris Hatchett in fifth place.
Sellers, Worley, Mike Lee of Richmond, Butler and Brian King of Gibsonville, N.C. rounded out the top ten for the restart.
With Johnson struggling to get past Sink, Peters opened up a lead of almost a half a straightaway before Johnson could claim second place on lap 23.
A caution flag for a mishap on the next lap allowed Johnson to close the gap and pull up on Peters' rear bumper.
From that point, the race boiled down to two battles, one being Johnson's bid to overtake Peters and the other a torrid three-way battle among Sink, King and Butler for third place.
Johnson got help from a caution flag that came out with 34 laps to go but Peters prevailed down the stretch.
"We were awful close," Johnson said after posting his best finish of the season at South Boston Speedway.
"He (Peters) was just a teeny tick better. I was giving it all I had. Timothy ran awful good. He was just a teeny bit quicker."
King edged Sink and Butler for third place in a side-by-side battle that produced some of the night's best racing.
Woodward, Lee, Hatchett, South Boston's Greg Davis and Rodney Cook of Reidsville, N.C., rounded out the top ten finishers.
After two cautions in the first four laps of the nightcap, Peters showed his real strength.
Butler, who had started fifth, moved to second place by the 11th lap.
But, by that time, Peters was well over a second ahead of the field.
By the time the race reached the 17th lap, Peters' lead was almost two seconds.
At the 30-lap mark, Peters was a full two seconds ahead of Butler with King, Woodward and Johnson following in order.
By lap 62, Peters had lapped all but the top seven cars in the field and was still pulling away.
At the end, Peters' margin was 2.97 seconds.
"All we did was play with the stagger a little bit," Peters said when asked what adjustments were made to the car between the two races.
"The car was real good. I was trying to take care of my tires the first race because I knew we had another race to go. Tonight was just a good night altogether. I'm just tickled to death."
King finished third, Woodward took fourth and Johnson finished fifth in the nightcap.
Sellers took sixth place and was the final car on the lead lap.
Owen Miller of Emporia, Peyton Sellers of Ringgold, Davis and Worley rounded out the top ten finishers.
