Last week the Supreme Court made it harder for some artists to get funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

But, the decision will have little impact on Virginia.
According to the Virginia Commission for the Arts, that's because even before that decision the N-E-A began to shy away from giving money to individual artists.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Richmond;]

That means the N-E-A gives a lump sum to the state commission, which in turn hands it out to individual artists, along with state money.

In an 8-to-one ruling, the high court said the N-E-A CAN deny grants to artists if their work is considered indecent.

In April, the Board voted to allow Harold Hottinger to operate a private airstrip on his property with some restrictions.
Hottinger said the airstrip is for a friend who has no place to land and store his plane in the area.
In their lawsuit, 19 county residents maintain the airstrip will lower their property values.
However, the Board's attorney, Leanne Shank, has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed.
She claims, in part, that the residents don't have any facts to justify their concerns.

And, there were plenty of bidders eager to take this historic home in Mount Airy, North Carolina.
That's because it was the childhood home of Andy Griffith--the Sheriff of Mayberry.
Many Mount Airy residents worried that a piece of their history would be gone forever following the auction.
Gary York came away with the 86 thousand 900 dollar winning bid.
He said he bought it to make sure the home remains a part of the area's history.
