DANVILLE - The estate of the late Elizabeth Stuart James Grant, owner and publisher of the Danville Register & Bee newspapers for 53 years, donated $1 million to Averett College, officials said Tuesday.
College President Frank R. Campbell said the gift from the E. Stuart James Grant Charitable Trust is the largest ever received by the liberal arts school in its 134-year history. He called the donation "inspirational."
The money will be used to help fund construction of a $10 million convocation and sports complex which will be named for Grant, he said.
Grant, a Danville native, died in 1990. - Associated Press
\ Bite again and you die, county warns police dog
GLOUCESTER - The next time Black Jack decides to sink his teeth into an innocent victim he'll be put to death, Gloucester County officials say.
They sent a warning last week to the police dog's owner, Trooper Steve Gentry. On July 16, his German shepherd bit a girl who lived across the street.
Alanna Shea, 8, required plastic surgery to close a large wound in her right arm and will need additional surgery in several months and possibly in 10 more years, said her mother, Eileen Shea.
The county's code stipulates that if an animal determined to be dangerous is allowed to run at large and "creates a danger to the public or to any person or property, the animal shall be killed forthwith."
State police are allowing Gentry to continue using the dog, but his supervisors have ordered him to keep Black Jack under direct control when outside the kennel, Lt. G.F. Black said. - Associated Press
\ Sen. Warner doing well after surgery on eye
WASHINGTON - Sen. John Warner underwent surgery Monday to correct a partial loss of peripheral vision in his right eye, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Republican said.
Warner was resting comfortably at his Washington apartment after the outpatient surgery and planned to resume working after two or three days of rest, administrative assistant Susan A. Magill said.
There were no complications and Warner's doctor believes the surgery was successful, Magill said.
Warner had said earlier he was suffering from a 15 percent loss of peripheral vision in his right eye. - Associated Press
