FOUND – Black and white cat found near Laurel and Holly Street. Very friendly and must have been an indoor cat as it is de-clawed and probably neutered too. Please contact Sara at sara.sitkiewicz at gmail.com

Richmond.com has a recent story on the William Byrd Community House’s Chefs 4 Kids program.

Chefs R 4 Kids, a cooking class for young children and their families, is a partnership between the William Byrd Community Class and Women Chefs and Restaurateurs aimed at empowering kids to cook and encouraging families to make healthy choices.

“It’s easier to talk about nutrition in a relaxed setting, with food, rather than a lecture,” Ellie Basch, head chef at Savor Café in Manchester, said.

During the class, the kitchen atmosphere was kinetic as mother and child pairs chopped basil, garlic and potatoes, while Schmidt supervised. Basch manned a station at the stove with Raquel, a participant with culinary aspirations.

“I like when we make the food; it smells good!” Raquel said. “I want to learn more recipes, hopefully I’ll get to do them one day when I’m a chef.”

Last night, a dog escaped from owner’s house on Laurel Street. She is an older Jack Russell Terrior, answers to the name of Gypsy. She can be nervous/shy around new people, especially men. She is wearing tags with her name and owner’s phone number.

In addition to the Holly Street one on the flyer above, there’s also one listed on Craigslist that starts at 10 am and takes place next to Fine Foods.
