I By SHARON KILPATRICK • . Kappahannoek Newa Staff Writer , Elizabeth Haskell is looking forward to living a quieter life, with a^out half of the time in Rappahannock County after four years as former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s Secretary of Natural Resources. I Mrs. Haskell and her husband Rjobert own the former Joe Keyser fofrm in Tiger Valley. The Haskell family also owns newspapers in Virginia, Kentucky and Florida.
Mr. Haskell publishes the Martinsville Bulletin and the Franklin County News Post in Rofcky Mount, Va. He divides his time between his newspapers and Rappahannock County, coming to Rappahannock mostly on weekends.
During her four years in state government, Mrs. Haskell said she was in Richmond five or six days a week, returning to Rappahannock on weekends and rarely to Martinsville.
As Secretary of Natural Resources, Mrs. Haskell oversaw the work of seven departments: the Department of Environmental Quality, the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Marine Resources Commission, the Virginia Museum of Natural History, and the Department of Historic Resources.
She is proud of the accomplishments during her tenure. In the face of 25 percent cutbacks in state funding she feels she made substantial progress in protecting the environment.
- The creation of the Department of Environmental Quality from separate agencies dealing with water, solid waste and clean air is one of the “exciting advances” of the Wilder administration, she said.
