Admission to the exhibition is free for VHS members.</p><p>Beginning in 1898, the large collection of Thomas Jefferson’s private papers was given to the Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) by the president’s great-grandson, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge of Boston. The exhibition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view in Richmond papers that left Virginia nearly one hundred fifty years ago, following Jefferson’s death and the marriage of his granddaughter Ellen Wayles Randolph to Joseph Coolidge of Boston.</p><p>Jefferson gave to the world the American vision that “all men are created equal” and are entitled to the “inherent &amp; inalienable” rights of “life, &amp; liberty, &amp; the pursuit of happiness.” Exhibition viewers will be able to read those words in Jefferson’s personal handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence, as well as in the draft of the Declaration as it was edited by his fellow committee members, and in a copy of the first printing of the Declaration distributed in Philadelphia in 1776. All three documents are extremely rare and are among the most important in American history.</p><p>Jefferson’s innumerable contributions to the nation’s founding and development include his service as governor of Virginia, as congressman, as minister to France, as secretary of state under George Washington, as vice president under John Adams, and as third president of the United States. He is revered also for his decisions to make the Louisiana Purchase and establish the military academy at West Point and for designing some of the greatest buildings in America.</p><p>Jefferson was not untouched by controversy. He hated slavery, which he called a “moral depravity,” and in 1784 he almost succeeded in passing in Congress a ban of slavery in the territories. But he continued to hold slaves at Monticello. One biographer has labeled Jefferson an “American Sphinx.” The Jefferson papers provide windows into his personality and motivations.</p><p>William Rasmussen, Lead Curator and Lora Robins Curator at the VHS, says, “Jefferson was interested, it seems, in everything—from the sciences to the cultures of Native Americans, from religious beliefs to gadgets at Monticello. He spoke five languages. What I find so extraordinary about him is the breadth and brilliance of his intellect. In architecture, for example, few Americans to this day have matched Jefferson’s accomplishments.”</p><p>VHS members receive complimentary admission to all special exhibitions. Admission for nonmembers is $10 per person. The exhibition will be on display through January 15, 2017, and is generously sponsored by Altria Group. The Private Jefferson is organized by the Massachusetts Historical Society.</p><p>The Virginia Historical Society (VHS)—a privately funded nonprofit organization—collects, preserves, and interprets the Commonwealth’s history, linking past with present to inspire future generations. The VHS is located at 428 North Boulevard in Richmond’s Museum District. Hours are Monday – Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for the galleries and museum shop, Monday – Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for the library.

If you see her please call 917-617-0475 or 804-356-5638. Please do not run towards her or shout at her as she will become scared. The best way to get her is to call her name and run away from her like you are trying to play with her.</p></blockquote><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!

No Henrico property or waterway is directly affected.</p><p>Representatives of Plantation Pipeline, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and private contractors are on the scene, according to Henrico County.</p><p>Motorists traveling on River Road between South Gaskins Road in Henrico and Blair Road in Goochland are urged to proceed with caution and beware of construction vehicles entering and exiting the site. Temporary road closures may occur for the off-loading of equipment.

Thornton will accept the awards July 24 at the 2016 NACo annual conference in Long Beach, Calif. The NACo Achievement Awards Program recognizes groundbreaking programs and initiatives in 21 service categories, including children and youth, county administration and management, libraries, emergency management and response, and human services.</p><p>Henrico’s 28 awards, which stemmed from 35 entries, are the most of any county in Virginia for the 11th consecutive year and the sixth most nationally, behind Maricopa County, Ariz.; Los Angeles County, Calif.; San Diego County, Calif.; San Bernardino County, Calif.; and Montgomery County, Md. Each of those counties has 1 million to 10 million residents; Henrico has about 325,000 residents, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.</p><p>“Henrico County’s departments and employees provide outstanding service for residents and others in the community every single day,” County Manager John A. Vithoulkas said. “Our continued success in the NACo awards program affirms the strong work ethic and culture of excellence that has long been a hallmark of Henrico government. Our employees are challenged to identify and solve problems, to innovate and to find better ways to meet the needs of our dynamic community.”</p><p>The Department of Community Revitalization won an Achievement Award and a Best of Category honor for “Home Maintenance Workshops,” a series of free classes that targeted low-income homeowners and provided money-saving tips for property upkeep. The workshops, held in 2015-16, covered such topics as weatherization, basic plumbing and electrical repairs, patching holes in walls and ceilings, landscaping and yard maintenance, and hiring a contractor. The effort was designed to help homeowners remain in their homes as they age and to decrease the demands on public and nonprofit service providers.</p><p>The Department of Human Resources won an Achievement Award and a Best of Category honor for “Fire Fit: An Intensive Focus on Firefighter Wellness.” The program was developed with the Division of Fire to help more firefighters pass an annual evaluation of the physical requirements needed to perform their duties. The number of firefighters who satisfied the benchmark increased 15 percent in 2015, after the wellness program was introduced.</p><p>Henrico has earned 576 NACo awards since 1985. The awards in 2016 recognize the efforts of 11 general government departments and Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS). HCPS collected nine awards, while Henrico County Public Library and Human Resources each earned or shared three awards — more than any other Henrico department or agency. Human Resources also earned at least one award for the 30th consecutive year, a feat unmatched by any other human resources agency in the country.</p></blockquote><ul><li>Home Maintenance Workshops, Department of Community Revitalization</li><li>Homeowners’ Association Website and Lookup, Community Revitalization</li><li>Parcel Project &amp; HOPS, County Manager’s Office</li><li>Trash Time Capsule, Department of Public Utilities (DPU) and Keep Henrico Beautiful (KHB)</li><li>Social Media Video Education, DPU and KHB</li><li>Expanding Payment Options for Cash Paying Constituents, Department of Finance</li><li>Entry-Level Firefighter Hiring Process, Division of Fire</li><li>Virtual Operations Support Team Program, Fire</li><li>Energy Saving Projects Initiative, Department of General Services</li><li>Homegrown Diesel Tech: A Partnership of Schools and Central Automotive Maintenance, Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS)</li><li>Instructional Technology Website, HCPS</li><li>ZippSlipping into Libraries, HCPS</li><li>Parchment: The eTranscript and Credential-Management Solution, HCPS</li><li>PowerSchool: An Elementary School Parent-Portal Pilot Program, HCPS</li><li>Teacher Scholars’ Program, HCPS</li><li>The Locker: Developing a School Intranet, HCPS</li><li>Using Zippslip to Improve Pupil Transportation and Parent Communication, HCPS</li><li>Instructional Design Website: Making Instruction Easy for Teachers, HCPS</li><li>Creating a Living Culture of High Performance, Department of Human Resources (HR)</li><li>Fire Fit: An Intensive Focus on Firefighter Wellness, HR</li><li>Summer Camp Staff Orientation: Creating a Culture of Leadership, HR and Division of Recreation and Parks</li><li>Focus and Function Group Initiative — Breaking Down Barriers, Recreation and Parks</li><li>3 Books 4 Me, Henrico County Public Library (HCPL)</li><li>Literacy and Math Nights at the Library, HCPL</li><li>SuperHero Science, HCPL</li><li>The Danray Home, Henrico Area Mental Health &amp; Developmental Services (MH/DS)</li><li>Moral Reconation Therapy Group, MH/DS</li><li>Faith Community Coalition, Police Division</li></ul><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!

With the win, Haas has punched his ticket to Rio de Janerio, Brazil to swim for the U.S. in the Summer Olympics and may also participate in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay in addition to the 200-meter race.</p><p>Haas, 19, was agonizingly close to a spot on the US Olympic team in the 400-meter freestyle, but he missed out Sunday, finishing third by 0.4 seconds.

The restaurant, located in the Libbie Mill shopping center near the former home of Southern Season, features locally-sourced ingredients from Richmond and the surrounding area.</p><p>A preview of the menu, <a href="https://richmondmagazine.com/restaurants-in-richmond/richmond-food-news/first-look-shagbark-restaurant-photos/">from Richmond Magazine's Stephanie Breijo</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Helmed by Bundy, whose decades-long dream of owning a restaurant finally comes to fruition next week, Shagbark celebrates the Commonwealth's bounty via menu peppered with names of local purveyors such as Urban Choice Mushrooms and Manakintowne Specialty Growers. Priced between $8 and $30, the dishes invoke classic Southern cuisine — grits, country ham, buttermilk dressing — with skilled technique that elevates dishes so simple as Vidalia onion bisque. (Do not overlook or underestimate this one; it is a dish worth ordering many times over, woefully unavailable by the bucket.)</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://richmondmagazine.com/restaurants-in-richmond/richmond-food-news/first-look-shagbark-restaurant-photos/">Read more here</a>.</p><p>Shagbark is located at 4901 Libbie Mill E.

A proprietary house blend served exclusively at The Urban Farmhouse was created to appeal to a wide spectrum of coffee drinkers. Also being roasted and served are espresso blends (in both regular and decaf), single-origin coffees rotating on a seasonal basis, and a blend for iced coffee.</p><p>A renewed emphasis will be placed on educating both The Urban Farmhouse staff and clientele on both the fundamentals and the finer points of specialty coffee. “One advantage of serving locally roasted coffee is the convenient access to the knowledge and expertise of the people sourcing and roasting your coffee,” said Ironclad founder, Ryan O’Rourke. “Conscientious coffee roasters make great efforts to know each coffee inside and out, and being just around the corner from the folks who are serving it has tremendous advantages — for both</p><p>O’Rourke emphasizes an approach that gives equal attention to both quality and approachability for anyone and everyone. “We don’t ever want anyone — anywhere and at any time — to feel intimidated by coffee. We see no need for pretentiousness in coffee. It’s something that should be fun. Coffee should be a comfort beverage, and we believe you can roast, brew, and drink magnificent coffee while enjoying a bit of levity.” That levity is seen in some of Ironclad’s branding as well as in some of the wide-ranging events hosted at their roastery.</p><p>Ironclad Coffee Roasters, based in Richmond, Virginia, was founded in February of 2016. Their roastery is located in Richmond’s Scott’s Addition neighborhood. For more information, visit www.Ironclad.coffee.</p></blockquote><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!

Art enthusiasts enjoy the area’s many annual art festivals, including the Street Festival of the Arts, Arts in the Park and RVA Street Art Festival, as well as various art galleries and museums.</p><p>Muse is the perfect venue for date night, a birthday celebration or a night out with friends, offering a variety of painting sessions each week that are open to everyone, regardless of artistic skill level. The venue is also available for private parties such as charity fundraisers, business social events, children’s birthday parties and bachelorette parties. In addition to standard paint sessions, Muse Paintbar offers couples’ night for a more intimate feel where you and your special someone can create complementary paintings to hang side-by-side. Family nights are also available two or three times a month for family-friendly sessions at a discounted price. In most locations, Muse also offers summer camps for kids.</p><p>“We’re excited to open in the heart of Virginia’s capital,” says President and co-founder Stan Finch. “Given the city’s rich artistic history and thriving arts culture, we couldn’t be more pleased to open our new studio surrounded by such creativity and inspiration.”</p><p>“Muse allows local artists to share our passion and create art in a fun, relaxed atmosphere,” adds co-founder and lead artist Vanessa Leigh. “Art can be intimidating, but we break down barriers by providing simple directions that allow people to gain confidence. By the end of the session, they’ve had fun and can take home an original work of art.”</p><p>With no artistic experience or supplies needed, Muse provides budding artists with acrylic paint, canvases and an apron while professional local artists guide guests from blank canvas to finished masterpiece that can be displayed at home, work, or even given as a thoughtful one-of-a-kind gift. While working on their brushstrokes, guests can enjoy a great selection of food, wine and beer. Muse also offers gift certificates and private party paintings geared toward a company or guest of honor.</p><p>To participate, guests simply visit <a href="https://www.musepaintbar.com">www.musepaintbar.com</a>, view the online calendar and sign up online.

Each year, InLight Richmond invites artists to respond to a particular neighborhood, attracting audiences to unique areas of Richmond. We are excited to announce that InLight Richmond 2016 will be held on Friday, November 11 from 7 p.m. until midnight in Scott's Addition.</p><p>The juror for 2016 is Ellina Kevorkian, Artistic Director of Residency Programs at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art.</p><p>InLight 2016 will feature performances, sculpture, video, and interactive projects that will illuminate pathways, walls, sidewalks, green spaces, trees, benches, building facades, and more, in Scott's Addition. InLight 2016 will kick off with the Community Lantern Parade.</p><p>InLight Richmond was created in 2008 on the occasion of 1708 Gallery's 30th birthday. Thus was born this free, public art exhibition that offers Richmond the opportunity to engage with contemporary art outside the gallery walls and to experience the city in new and unexpected ways.</p></blockquote><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!

The traffic signal at the intersection was without power due to the previous night’s storm. It was determined a 2009 Hyundai SUV was traveling north on John Rolfe Parkway and a 1997 Toyota SUV was traveling west on Ridgefield Parkway and collided in the intersection. Neither vehicle appears to have come to a stop at the intersection prior to the crash. The driver of the Toyota, Todd Phillips, was pronounced at the scene. The driver of the Hyundai received minor injuries and was transported to local medical facility for treatment.</p><p>Deceased: Mr. Todd Allen Phillips – 55-year-old male – Henrico, Virginia</p><p>Our thoughts are with the Phillips family during this difficult time.</p></blockquote><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!

Who are they? Born between 1982 and 2004, they are the Millennial generation – and their impact on the workplace is significant, especially in Henrico County. With more than 64,000 citizens aged 20 to 34, Henrico has the most of any locality in the Central Virginia region and ranks sixth in the state for largest pool of potential employable Millennials.</p><p>Millennials are said to be the most diverse and educated generation to date, and they’re looking for a very specific type of work environment in the area. “We appreciate when our employers offer us opportunities to engage outside of our regular work activities,” says Leigh Dorris Woods, current chair of the Greater Richmond Chamber’s HYPE (Helping Young Professionals Engage) community. “Whether it’s membership in an organization like HYPE or volunteer opportunities that encourage employees to get out in the community, creating an environment that values both the work we do and our presence as members of a community helps us feel connected to both our employer and our region.”</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://news.henrico.com/work/henrico-employable-millennial-count-highest-in-cva">Continue reading here</a>.</p><p><br />Ho there, reader of RSS feeds!
