For those in the know, it's been a long road from where it began to where women's professional basketball is today. The WNBA got its start in 1997, but it wasn't the first women's league. The women's professional basketball league formed in 1978 with franchises across the country, even a team in San Francisco—the Pioneers. And at the same time the W was getting its start, the American Basketball League was working to get more women on the court, too. While the WBL and ABL didn't last, their formation spoke of a craving to see women's basketball teams compete and to see more women hoop. And now, the WNBA, almost 30 years later, is not only surviving—it's thriving, reaching a golden hour of popularity, global attention, and the kind of popularity it's been seeking all along. KCBS reporters Mary Hughes and Holly Quan take a deep dive into the rise of women's basketball on this edition of In Depth.

We are drawing ever closer to November and to when America will decide who will be the next president. According to most polls - at least so far - Vice President Kamala Harris holds a narrow lead over former President Donald Trump. But here in California, especially among Latino voters, support seems to be tipping a bit more blue. A recent statewide survey has found that Harris has a strong lead over Trump among California's Latino communities - 60% choosing Harris, 28% with Trump. But this poll looked at so much more when it comes to what Latino voters are concerned about this election season.  To help us delve deeper into all this, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes is joined by Christian Arana, vice president of civic power and policy at the Latino Community Foundation, which conducted the poll. The LCF is the nation's largest Latino surveying organization, working to invest in Latino-led organizations and to increase political participation of Latinos in California.

The news hit on the first day of August of the largest prisoner swap between the United States and Russia since the Cold War. It was a deal involving 24 people -  including journalists, political dissidents, suspected spies, among others - and after months of negotiations with other European countries who released Russians in their custody as part of the exchange. KCBS In Depth host Mary Hughes is joined this week by KCBS Radio's Mike DeWald and they are going to delve deeper into what may have been going on behind the scenes to make this prisoner swap happen, what this means for U.S. and Russia relations going forward, and if another trade of this magnitude could happen again. To help with all this, we're speaking with Larry Pfeiffer, former senior director of the White House Situation Room, former chief of staff to Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Hayden and now, director of the Michael Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security.

KCBS's Mary Hughes here... As I was growing up, baseball wasn't really my game. I've always been more of a basketball person. But there are players that are so talented, so stunning in what they have done and accomplished, whose reach is so far beyond the sport that they play that their name is as known to the uninitiated as it is to the seasoned fan. Willie Mays is one of those names, one of the players, and that's become even more evident this week as we mourn the loss of the Say Hey Kid - who passed away at the age of 93 on June 18th. Now, we could spend an entire In Depth episode talking about the highlights of Mays's career. But I'd like to speak not just about what Mays made happen on the field, but about the life that he led and of who he was beyond the bat and the glove. To help me on this journey, we're joined by KCBS Radio's own Morning Sports Anchor, Steven Langford, and former KCBS Radio Morning Sports anchor, Steve Bitker.  

In 2022… a report by the Stanford Lancet Commission stated that “the opioid crisis stands out as one of the most devastating public health disasters of the 21st century in the United States and Canada…” Not much has occurred since then to shift that belief… the opioid crisis, involving fentanyl in particular, continues to dominate our conversations… The end of 2023 saw over 750 drug overdose deaths in San Francisco alone, with fentanyl making up more than 81% of those deaths… So, how did we get here…? How did fentanyl take over the drug market and become so devastating to so many? For a closer look at all this… KCBS's Mary Hughes is joined by Sam Quinones… freelance journalist and author of books about the opioid epidemic… His most recent book is The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth…

Being a sports fan and being a woman is not always the easiest road to walk. Although there have been countless teams to pull for, and an endless parade of superstars to be in awe of, for a lot of women that meant watching men, and only men play. Now that doesn't mean that women were not involved in sports. In the world of college basketball, women took to the court for the first intercollegiate women's basketball game, right here in the bay area.  Stanford vs UC Berkeley in 1896, and around that same time in 1895, the British Lady's Football Club played their first match in London. So the fact is, women have always been in the sports universe, but compared to their male counterparts, they've always been more in the shadows. But there has been progress along the way with more eyes turning to women's pro sports teams, and that turns us to 2023. A year that has shown that the appetite for womens sports is growing, and in particular, growing here in the Bay Area. For more on this, KBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Rita Liberti, Professor of sport history  in the department of kinesthesiology at  Cal State East Bay.

Over the past decade, our conversations on mental health and how we process  trauma, grief, and isolation have evolved. Now, these are conversations that we have more regularly at home, workplaces, and among friends. Traditionally when we think about this we re probably applying it to adults, but trauma of any kind can happen to any one. The mental health struggles that can occur are not just limited to those that are 20-something years old and up.  For more on the mental health crisis amongst children, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Lynne Hughes, Founder and CEO of Comfort Zone Camp. 

"There is, one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath..." That's a quote form Moby Dick, but it could probably be the backstory for many who once left the land for the vastness of the ocean.  Of course not all who took to the seas returned from them, and in those instances, what's left behind are the broken and battered remnants of another time. There's a long history of ship wreaks in the San Francisco Bay Area. So all this past week, those relics of the past were brought into focus with ship wreak week in San Francisco.   For a more of the background of the genesis of shipwreck week, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Nicole Meldahl, executive director of the Western Neighborhoods Project, and James Delgado senior vice president of Search Inc., and former director of NOAA's Maritime Heritage Program.

In the last episode of In Depth, we heard parts of KCBS's I'm Listening special. we turned out focus to mental health, suicide prevention, and the ways in which people can fine hope and healing.  Now were going to hear the second part of the I'm Listening hour. KCBS radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Eleanor Sosa Pace, Chief officer of residential injustice programs at Momentum for Health in Santa Clara county, and Chuck Ingolia, President and CEO of the National council for mental wellbeing.

All this week on KCBS, we've put the focus on mental health as part of Audacy's I'm Listening. Bringing to light conversations about mental health struggles that many of us face and breaking down the stigma that comes with those challenges because talk saves lives.  For more KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Kim Arman, Co-Chair of this years American Foundation for Suicided Prevention in the South Bay, And Thomas Kingery program direction of the Avenidas Rainbow Collective

Conversations around mental health, mental wellness are not easy. But talk can save lives.  So all this week, we're featuring conversations and stories that highlight mental health and wellness, as a part of Audacy's annual I'm Listening special.  In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio reporter Mary Hughes helps us take a look at the state of mental health in our aging LGBTQ+ communities and what's being done to make sure they don't feel alone.

Just recently, an institutions of the Bay Area's LGBTQ+ world announced that it will be making a comeback. The Stud, an iconic queer bar in San Francisco, with an over 50 year long history, closed up shop in 2020 during the pandemic shutdown. Many feared that the venue itself would stay closed. But the collective who runs the bar have found a new location and are in the mist of raising funds now. This news has opened up a sense of hope for the queer spaces here in the Bay area, and beyond, wont just fade away. So why are queer spaces, and in particular queer bars, so important to hang on to?   To answer this question and more, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Greggor Mattson,  Professor and chair of sociology at Oberlin College and Conservatory, and author of 'Who Needs Gay Bars?'

We're seeing a rise in overdose deaths in the Bay Area this year, and a lot of them are caused by fentanyl. This is a crisis that goes beyond California though, it's being been all over the country. Everyone from local to national leaders are committed to bringing this fentanyl epidemic to an end. The Biden administration announced on international overdose awareness day that its providing $450 million dollars in new funding to tackle this issue. But why has fentanyl taken over the drug landscape? what makes it so deadly, and what more can be done to combat its hold in our world? To help us take a closer look at this fentanyl crisis, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Dr. Chelsea Shover, assistant professor at the UCLA school of medicine and co-author of a 2020 study on fentanyl's spread to the West Coast.

According to scientists with the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, this past July was the hottest the earth has experienced in 174 years. If you took the chance to be outside, or you couldn't avoid it during that month, you probably felt it: overwhelming stifling and impressive heat. Those spikes in temperature are becoming all to common, lasting longer that before, happening in months that they didn't used to. And we've definitely noticed these changes as we crank up the air conditioning, but how often do any of us think about heat and its long-lasting and sometimes devastating effect on the world? For more on this, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Jeff Goodell, a Bay Area native and best selling author who has tackled the topic of climate change for years.

On August 8th, 2023, fires began to spark in Maui, which then turned into deadly blazes. Spurred on by strong winds from hurricane Dora and weeks of dry conditions, a nightmare scenario has played out on the Island, with entire neighborhoods in Lahaina reduced to ash and a death toll of over 100 people so far. But while the devastation is immense and difficult to wrap out heads around, there's also stories of strength and community coming together that we are hearing from the Island.  For more, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with KCBS Radio's Jennifer Hodges, who has been reporting from Maui, and Dr. Mia Livaudais, Professor of Public Health at Cal State East Bay. Livaudais grew up in Hawaii and is working from the Bay Area to organize help for the residents of Maui.

Two of the biggest unions in San Jose, which represent over 4,000 workers, have reached a stalemate with the city and voted yes for a three day strike. While both sides have met again for renegotiations, if an agreement isn't met soon, on of the largest planed strikes in recent history will happen on August 15th, 2023. Of course this isn't the only battel being waged between city workers and the city they serve, a one day strike just occurred in Los Angeles with over 7,000 city workers taking to the street. The demand for higher wages, better working conditions, and more respect is a call that seems to be coming from all sides, from the public to the private sector.  But will this increase in strikes, and for some in unionizing in the first place, end up giving workers what they're looking for? And can cities and employers employers realistically meet the demands? For more, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes spoke with Enrique Lopezlira, director of the Low-Wage Work program at the UC Berkeley Labor Center, and Michael LeRoy Professor of Labor and Employment Relations.

On this edition of In Depth, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes takes a closer look into what it is like to be a district attorney in the Bay Area.

Both Jenkins and Price have faced heavy criticism on how they deal with crime in their community.  Guests: Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price  San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins Hosts: Mary Hughes  Mike Dewald

Conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion have touched almost every industry in the past few years, and professional sports has been no exception.  In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio reporter Mary Hughes tells us where we can find inclusion in Bay Area sports and what she learned about the state of equity and equality in sports from her episode of KCBS Radio's “In Depth”.

When you think of Bay Area sports, you probably think about the Golden State Warriors, the San Francisco Giants, or the San Francisco 49ers, but you probably don't think of rugby. Well, the Golden State Retrievers are here to change that. In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio's Mary Hughes and Vivian Bossieux-Skinner found out how to make it in the world of rugby by hitting the field during tryouts and sending one of our own onto the pitch.

According to the Federal Election Commission, Good raised $152,092.13 in the first three months of 2022. His campaign spent $144,310.62 during the period and has spent total of $431,328.87 over the course of the campaign. Good has raised a total of $675,964.49 and had $376,792.76 on hand at the end of March. Republican Dan Moy raised $114,046 in the first quarter and spent $66,106.12, and has $47,939.88 to spend. He did not file a report for activity prior to this year. The Republican nominee will be selected in a convention at Hampden-Sydney College on May 21. On the Democratic side, Josh Throneburg raised $37,524.33 and spent $106,726.72 in the quarter and reported a $50,000 debt. He’s raised $307,678 over the course of the campaign, and had $149,037.30 in his account on March 31. This week the Democrats announced that Throneburg was the sole nominee who turned in enough qualified signatures to make the ballot for the June 21 primary. Andy Parker failed to make the ballot for the Democratic Primary, but raised $178,314.37 between January 1 and March 31. He spent $26,010.45 and had $152,303.92 in the bank.  Park told reporters this week he is considering a challenge of the results. A third Democratic candidate, Warren McClellan, raised $2,900 in the period and a total of $13,901.18 over the campaign.

Combs raised a total of $227,018 during his campaign and has disbursed $184,832, leaving $42,186.01 in his account as of March 31. COVID-19 updateThe Virginia Department of Health reported another 1,538 COVID-19 cases yesterday and a seven-day percent positivity of 5.4 percent. The total death toll over two years has now risen to 20,022. The VDH no longer reports data by localities on their dashboard, and the Blue Ridge Health District’s dashboard last reports data from April 13. However, an email update sent out last night shows 22 new cases in Albemarle this week, and 16 in Charlottesville. While those figures may be lower than the actual number due to at-home testing, there does not appear to be a significant public health threat from COVID at this time. “What we’re not seeing is a significant spike or a significant increase in case counts at the hospital of people diagnosed with COVID,” said Dr. Costi Sifri, the director of hospital epidemiology at the University of Virginia Medical Center. “Particularly with people diagnosed with severe COVID.  Second boosters are now recommended for those over the age of 50 or those who are immunocompromised. Those who got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and booster may want to consider a switch.“In general, for most patients we’d recommend if they received a Johnson and Johnson vaccine initially, that we steer them towards a [messenger]RNA vaccine, the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines,” Dr. Sifri said. For more information on vaccinations, visit the Blue Ridge Health District website. Wegman’s to eliminate single-use plastic bagsAs Albemarle County and Charlottesville both consider levying a tax on plastic bags, a major grocery chain has announced they will phase out their use by the end of this calendar year. “With this decision, the company’s goal is to shift all customers to reusable bags, the best option to solve the environmental challenge of single-use grocery bags,” reads a press release on the company’s website.Wegmans will begin to charge five cents per paper bag, with proceeds going to local food banks or United Way chapters. The company has already eliminated plastic bags in New York, where they were banned ini 2019 by that state’s legislature. Wegmans has also experimented with eliminating them from some stores around Richmond. The release makes the claim that making the transition will eliminate over 345 million bags from going into circulation each year. Albemarle County will hold a public hearing Wednesday evening on imposing a five-cent tax per bag. (staff report)Charlottesville City Council will hold a work session on climate action at 4 p.m. on Monday. Second shout-out goes to Camp AlbemarleToday’s second subscriber-supported public service announcement goes out to Camp Albemarle, which has for sixty years been a “wholesome rural, rustic and restful site for youth activities, church groups, civic events and occasional private programs.”Located on 14 acres on the banks of the Moorman’s River near Free Union, Camp Albemarle continues as a legacy of being a Civilian Conservation Corps project that sought to promote the importance of rural activities. Camp Albemarle seeks support for a plan to winterize the Hamner Lodge, a structure built in 1941 by the CCC and used by every 4th and 5th grade student in Charlottesville and Albemarle for the study of ecology for over 20 years. If this campaign is successful, Camp Albemarle could operate year-round. Consider your support by visiting Donate to Camp Albemarle. Charlottesville Parks and Recreation still seeking lifeguards; no date yet for Smith reopeningThis week, Charlottesville’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board got an update on preparations underway to get the city’s pools and spraygrounds ready. “We are currently still developing our operational hours and what that’s going to look like at our outdoor facilities,” said Gator Batton is the interim manager of aquatics for the department. “The goal is to open Washington Park, Onesty, and Smith.” Of those three, only Washington Park opened last summer. Onesty Park didn’t open because of a shortage of lifeguards and Smith Aquatic Center has remained closed for the duration of the pandemic due to repairs to address air quality issues. Hours and operations will depend on having lifeguards in place, and Batton said there are currently 65 set up for the summer. “We have looked at some creative ways of recruiting and trying to bring in certified lifeguard staff as well encouraged current staff to stay with us throughout the summer,” Batton said. These include waiving fees for certification courses, $250 signing bonuses, and a second bonus at the end of the summer. The city is also looking to outsource operations of Onesty Pool and there’s a request for proposals on the street. Vic Garber, the deputy director of the department, said they need at least 25 more lifeguards for full operations this summer. Garber said testing has been completed at Smith Aquatic Center. “This included the filtration and chemical feed system,” Garber said. “We had National Pools do that. We basically passed that with flying colors.” Air qualities have been conducted by two different firms. “It should be totally sound from any type of chloramines or chlorine smell,” Garber said. Tests will continue to be conducted after the pool opens and people are using it. An opening date will be announced after the results of a third test. Garber also said the equipment in the fitness room is being replaced.“When people come in, they need to smile and stay as long as they want and be happy,” Garber said. Batton said the hope is to have the spraygrounds at Belmont, Greenbrier, Tonsler, and Forest Hills Parks operational in less than a month. “The goal is over the next two weeks to test out water features, balance water chemistry, and our project opening for those is May 14,” Batton said. Elm planted at UVA Lawn for Mary HughesThe University of Virginia celebrated its founding Wednesday with a tree-planting ceremony to mark the career of retired landscape architect Mary Hughes. Hughes stepped down in January after serving in the position for over a quarter of a century. UVA Today reports that President Jim Ryan spoke at the event. “While at UVA, she expanded awareness of the landscape beyond the Academical Village, both developed and wild lands,” Ryan said. “She secured funding for a multiyear research project on the history of land-use and landscape design of the University Grounds, which resulted in summer internship opportunities for UVA landscape architecture students and enriched the cultural landscape curriculum.”During her time as landscape architect, Hughes directed a study of local waterways and UVA stormwater system, which led to the creation of the Dell. Hughes also studied the history of enslaved workers and served on the President’s Commission on Slavery and the University, which resulted in the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers. A Jefferson Elm was planted outside of Pavilion III in Hughes’ honor. For a full list of memorial trees on Grounds, visit the Office of the Architect’s website. This is a public episode.

A year ago, story time at the Altamont library took on a new meaning when residents gathered to share memories from generations' past. This week's podcast is a rerun of that session in honor of the Altamont Free Library, under the direction of Joe Burke, winning the Program of the Year Award from the Upper Hudson Library System. Three women with the longest memories — Carol Dubrin; Jean Hungerford Krull, who came with her daughter, Kristin; and Mary Hughes with her daughter, Meg — told tales that stretched back generations. Ron and Lois Ginsburg shared memories from the last half-century as did Mary Elario. Ellen and Dick Howie came not just with their own stories but with some from Newt Ronan, too. The tapestry their voices wove portrays a village that was at once self-sufficient while its residents depended upon one another See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today’s installment has a shout-out for a fundraiser called C'ville STEM: Support Schools in COVID times. UVA doctors have teamed up with schools and want your financial support for school scientific supplies for up to 2,100 children in City Schools who might not otherwise have access. They are very close to meeting their goal. *Today is the third anniversary of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville which resulted in a vehicle being deliberately driven down 4th Street into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing Heather Heyer and severely injuring dozens of others. Charlottesville City Hall will be closed for a “time of reflection and remembrance.” So will the vehicular crossings of the Downtown Mall. A coalition of groups including the Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America and Showing Up for Racial Justice Charlottesville plan to hold an event beginning at 1 p.m. at Market Street Park where the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee stands. However, city manager Tarron Richardson issued a statement warning that his pandemic-related decision to stop issuing permits for events city parks still stands. “We ask that the community continue to follow all aspects of the local COVID-19 ordinance, specifically the wearing of face coverings and adherence to the gathering limits,” Richardson wrote in a statement. “No special event permits have been approved for the use of downtown parks or other public property for August 11 or 12, 2020.”Dr. Richardson went on to state it was important that roads not be blocked in protests.“Unauthorized closures of City streets can delay responses for emergency vehicles and require rerouting to an emergency incident, the hospital, or other critical infrastructure when seconds matter,” Richardson wrote. “Additionally positioning one’s self in a lane of travel/traffic without proper protection is putting oneself potentially in grave danger.”On August 8, the city issued a statement that sought to remind the public that gatherings of fifty people or more were specifically prohibited by Council on July 27 when the city enacted restrictions that are greater than what is allowed under Phase 3 of Governor Ralph Northam’s Forward Virginia program. *There are another 776 cases of COVID-19 in Virginia reported by the state health department this morning, and another eight deaths for a total of 2,352 to date. The seven-day average for positive tests has dropped to 7.3 percent statewide. The Thomas Jefferson Health District has another 23 cases with eight from Albemarle, five from Louisa, four from Charlottesville, two from Greene, two from Fluvanna and two from Nelson. *The James River Water Authority (JRWA) will meet today to discuss delaying the application process for a pump station to bring water to the growth area at Zion Crossroads. In March, authority members from Louisa and Fluvanna counties voted to proceed with a plan to build the pump station at a Monacan site called Rassawek which was a major population center before colonization. That’s prompted over 10,000 signatures on a petition organized by the group Cultural Heritage Partners. “Although the James River Water Authority is confident that the revised application materials submitted to you in March took a hard look at a broad range of alternatives and identified the only practicable alternative, we have continued to engage in discussions with interested parties on this matter,” reads a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from D.D. Watson, chair of the JRWA. The letter goes on to state that the Louisa and Fluvanna needs an expanded water supply and that a short delay will allow for the study of alternatives to the site at Rassawek. Look to coverage on this from Allison Wrabel in a future edition of the Daily Progress and get more information from her preview story.*The pandemic has delayed the public dedication of the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia, but the monument has already become a central gathering point in the community as seen during the protests against the killing of George Floyd. There will be a virtual panel discussion about the architecture of the memorial at 4 p.m. held by Arch Daily. Participants include Alice Raucher and Mary Hughes of the UVA Office of the Architect), Mabel Wilson of Studio&) and J. Meejin Yoon of Höweler + Yoon Architects. *At 7 p.m., the University of Virginia’s Religion, Race and Democracy Lab will hold a zoom webinar that reflects on three years ago. The title is “Praying With Our Feet: Religious Activists Remember the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville.” Speakers include Jalane Schmidt, an activist who helped build community support for removal of Confederate statues, and Don Gathers, a founded of the city’s Black Lives Matter chapter and founding member of the Police Civilian Review Board. (info)*The Charlottesville Planning Commission said an official goodbye to one of its longest-serving members last night. Lisa Green has served on the seven-member body since October 2010 and her term ends at the end of this month. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it,” Green said. “I know sometimes it doesn’t seem like it but I am passionate about this city and I see all the potential.”Green was recently appointed to serve on the Board of Commissioners for the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. She’s also a 19-year veteran of working for Albemarle County.“I think I am rooted into public service,” Green added. “I believe in public service. I believe in local government. I believe in all the things we can do better and I truly believe that there are systems we can change to make it more equitable for everyone in the city.” Charlottesville City Council has not yet appointed a replacement, so Green will continue to serve on the Planning Commission until they do so. Interviews with applicants for the position have not yet been conducted, according to Council Clerk Kyna Thomas. We’ll have an update on the Charlottesville Planning Commission’s discussion on the Comprehensive Plan and the New Hill Community Vision Plan on a later show. *The Crozet Community Advisory Committee meets at 7 p.m. and begins with a discussion about Old Dominion Village. Developer Katurah Roell is requesting a rezoning of 14.259 acres from rural area to Neighborhood Model District for the creation of a new neighborhood. However, the land is not within the jurisdiction of the Albemarle County Service Authority. Currently only the existing structure on the property is allowed to connect to public water. The applicant will request that connection as well as to public sewer. The Crozet CAC will also discuss the results of community feedback on bike and pedestrian connectivity.  (agenda) This is a public episode.

“I Remember Altamont”: Villagers with long memories gathered at the Altamont Free Library last Friday night, on the eve of the village’s first Founders Day, to share memories and swap stories. Joe Burke, who directs the library and hosted the event, started off with a story about the late Ev Rau remembering his first visit, at age 5, to the train station that now houses the library. He and his grandfather rode the train to the state capitol, where his grandfather wept to see the flag he had fought under during the American Civil War. Three women with the longest memories — Carol Dubrin; Jean Hungerford Krull, who came with her daughter, Kristin; and Mary Hughes with her daughter, Meg — told tales that stretched back generations. Ron and Lois Ginsburg shared memories from the last half-century as did Mary Elario. Ellen and Dick Howie came not just with their own stories but with some from Newt Ronan, too. The tapestry their voices wove, which can be heard on this week’s podcast portrays a village that was at once self-sufficient while its residents depended upon one another.

Hughes, Mary Lahendro, Jody September 12, 2015 At just over the halfway point of a two year construction project, Jody Lahendro, Historic Preservation Architect, U.Va.'s Facilities Planning & Construction, will share highlights of the first fifteen months of renovation work. Some of the completed major building activities to be presented include a building monitoring system, underpinning Jefferson's Rotunda, constructing the underground mechanical room in the east courtyard, installing utilities, replacing the marble capitals at the porticos, and installation of infrastructure systems. Lahendro will also present new evidence uncovered this year that adds to our understanding of the Rotunda's construction history. Mary Hughes, University Landscape Architect, Office of University Architect, will discuss the exciting new gardens that will be created at the Rotunda as the project concludes next year.
