"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror, and say to yourself, you have a responsibility. Then you’ve got to answer that. What is it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a young university student, Smith was thinking along these lines before he qualified for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. In 1967, as the Mexico City Olympics approached, another athlete and activist on campus by the name of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjsuwordstoaction.com/category/dr-harry-edwards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Edwards\u003c/a> formed the Olympic Project for Human Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group called for an athlete boycott of the games, to highlight the inequities African-American athletes faced. They wanted more black coaches. They wanted Olympic officials to restore Muhammad Ali’s heavyweight title, to disinvite South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from the Olympics, and to remove Avery Brundage, the controversial International Olympic Committee president, from power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boycott failed to gain traction, but in the political moment of 1968, after two major assassinations, rolling riots and protests throughout the country, Smith and Carlos were not alone in feeling the charged political atmosphere back home demanded some kind of response, some action to capitalize on the platform they would enjoy with the world’s attention on them for the games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of athletes wore black items of clothing during the Olympics as silent, subtle protests, but Smith and Carlos had something bigger in mind. After they won the gold and bronze, respectively, for their performances in the 200-meter dash, they walked up to receive their medals wearing black scarves to symbolize lynching, as well as black socks with no shoes to symbolize poverty. As the crowd cheered, they each raised a gloved fist to the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch the men’s 200-meter race at the 1968 Mexico City Games, and the awards ceremony that follows. The relevant action begins at 29:45.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVsQYRZgb10]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response was immediate and vitriolic. The International Olympic Committee called the protest of black suffering in America “outrageous,” and sent the two men\u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/206374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> back to San Jose\u003c/a> the next day. Smith and Carlos received death threats, and the FBI monitored them with the label “rabble rousers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The action … was an insult to the Mexican hosts and a disgrace to the United States,” Avery Brundage, the International Olympic Committee president, wrote in a letter months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The superstars from “Speed City,” as San Jose State was called at the time, were banned from international track and field competitions. In 1968, Tommie Smith was one of the fastest men on the planet. He set 13 world records, including the one on Oct. 16, 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV4zvaxeI94]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, attitudes towards what the men did began to change. In 1984, Smith and Carlos became emissaries for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. They were inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame. And in 2005, the Associated Students of San Jose State University unveiled, in the heart of the campus, a 23-foot-tall sculpture of the two athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos told the gathering, “W\u003cb>\u003c/b>e had to do something that would be prestigious, respectable, pungent, shocking. We didn’t give the finger. We didn’t wrap the flag around our head or tie it up like a diaper. We didn’t stand there with disrespect. We stood there to say, ‘Hey man, I’m America. I’m your son and I’m wounded. I’m not wounded for me, because I’m one of your heroes. I’m in the Olympics. But I’m wounded for the race.’ […] That’s why we went to Mexico City.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699653\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699653\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Josie Lepe/San Jose State University )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He added, “I didn’t choose to be the guy in Mexico City.

I’ve been covering fires for nearly 20 years, and the fact that a fire grew that fast and devastated a community that wasn’t in the middle of a forest or in the middle of a field of dry brush or typical places where you do see destruction from a fire. The Coffey Park community, in specific, that lost the most homes wasn’t anywhere near that stuff. The weather and the winds just pushed it right into that area, and I’m sure those people never expected that. It never stopped coming.

This was near Glen Ellen, and he lived in a small little house that was, it was kind this little cul-de-sac, and it wasn’t like a traditional street, and it was just like this little development that had maybe three or four houses on it. Three other houses around it had been burned down, and he was trying to save his little house—running around, the fence was on fire. He’s trying to do all he can to keep it away from his house. And at one point he climbed up on top of the roof so he could just sort of get an overview and to see what he was dealing with. And there’s a picture I took of him jumping off the roof back down on the ground as he was like frantically, you know, trying to rush around and extinguish all the flames that were encroaching on his little house. I think at the end of the day, he managed to save his house, and it was the only one that was saved in the area. The immediate area around his house, everything else burned down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11698754 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A resident rushes to save his home as an out of control wildfire moves through the area on October 9, 2017 in Glen Ellen, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A resident rushes to save his home as an out of control wildfire moves through the area on October 9, 2017 in Glen Ellen, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you kept in touch with him in any way?

I honestly started my day, the day that the fires started, in Napa County, and then I slowly started to move toward Sonoma. I didn’t even get to Santa Rosa until probably the afternoon. I didn’t even know about the Coffey Park neighborhood until maybe two days later when I went over in a helicopter, and that was the first time I had seen that widespread devastation and was completely blown away. There was just so much going on. I think on that very first day, I drove from Marin County, where I live, to Sonoma, all the way up to Calistoga, down in Napa, all the way to Santa Rosa and back. And it was just—the area was so huge that there was just so much to see and do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698774\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11698774\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33160_GettyImages-1047758152-qut-800x1078.jpg\" alt=\"(Top image) Firefighters spray water on fire damaged mobile home at the Journey's End Mobile Home Park on October 9, 2017 in Santa Rosa.

Did this feel different at all because this massive destruction was so close to where you live? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It did in many ways. For the start, I woke up in the middle of the night, and my girlfriend woke me up and said, “Hey, I think there’s a fire in our building.” And sure enough, I woke up and it smelled like smoke. I looked outside, and there was smoke everywhere. And this was probably maybe two or three hours after the fire started—that’s how strong the winds were blowing. It just blew. Marin County was just socked in with smoke. And then, in the days to come after the fact, I got more phone calls and emails from people that I know in the area saying, “Hey, can you go take a look and see my cousin’s house and my brother’s house, or my house? We can’t get in. If you’re in that area, can you take a look?” And I’ve never really had that on fires. A lot of the fires I cover are in remote areas or in Southern California, and I don’t necessarily know many people in the area in Southern California or rural California. So it kind of hit home that people, you know, identified with me being there and just wanted peace of mind to know, “Hey, is my property OK, or is my brother’s property OK?” And I ended up going and looking at maybe six or seven people’s homes that I’ve known for many years just to make sure it was still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11698758 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33157_GettyImages-1047746632-qut-800x1078.jpg\" alt=\"In this composite image a comparison has been made between the days of the 2017 Tubbs Fire and what those areas look like on the one year anniversary of California's most destructive wildfire complex.

I’m wondering, what are your thoughts, one year later, on how the community is rebuilding, from the perspective of an observer, somebody who’s capturing images of it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I was sort of struck by that as well because I’ve never gone back to an area that I photographed in a fire because typically areas don’t have such a wide area that burned down. That Coffey Park area in particular, where literally hundreds of homes were just gone. To go back and see, you know, a fraction of them popping up, but there’s still a lot that’s not being built. There are “for sale” signs on some of the pieces of land. There’s just pieces of land that are just empty. You know, they’ve taken everything out, they’ve cleared all the toxic debris out, and it’s just an empty lot now. But there are some neighborhoods that I went to that there were probably maybe 50 or 60 homes in there, and now there are only two that have come back. It’s a slow progression, and hopefully it does come back to the vibrant community that once was. But I think at this point, it has a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11698759 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on October 13, 2017 in Sonoma.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27543_GettyImages-861028680-qut-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on October 13, 2017 in Sonoma. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There’s one image that we’ve published here at KQED, and I’ve seen in a number of other publications of a sign that some residents of the North Bay had made that said, “The love in the air is thicker than the smoke.” I’m wondering if you remember when you first saw that sign and how the motto it’s sort of become for the Sonoma and Napa areas, whether it rung true to you and whether you’ve thought about it at all over the past year.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It definitely rung true at the moment. I remember seeing it maybe like on the third day, driving back up to Napa just to continue the fire coverage, and passing by in the morning and completely doing a U-turn, just going back, because I think it spoke for that region. And you did see people, and you still to this day see people, coming out for each other regardless of who you are, what you do, what color you are. The community really came together. Almost immediately, you could see it, and I thought that was a perfect motto for the situation at hand there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11698775\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33159_GettyImages-1047746746-qut-800x1060.jpg\" alt=\"(Top image) Smoke billows from a neighborhood that was destroyed by a fast moving wildfire on October 9, 2017 in Santa Rosa.

Is it taking a toll on you at all, as somebody who is going out to these fire zones and photographing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. It’s an exhausting task to go to cover these fires. A lot of the times, like I said before, they’re in areas that are rural. You know, it will take you hours to get there. Once you’re there, there are no resources available anymore. You’re kind of self-sufficient for as long as you’re up there sometimes. You’ll cover one of these fires between three and seven days, and you’ve been sleeping in your car, or you do camping when it’s available, and it’s exhausting. The size of these fires has grown tenfold in the past ten years. I mean, they grow so fast now. I was talking to a friend recently about fires that we covered 10 years ago and how we thought at the time, “Wow! That was a huge fire. It was 35,000 acres!” Now, 35,000 acres happens in a matter of hours. And then they explode into these 400,000, 500,000 acre fires. I don’t know that I ever thought I would see that. And it’s exhausting that in months like December, where you don’t expect this thing to happen here, you’re out there still covering fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The Coffey Park community, in specific, that lost the most homes wasn’t anywhere near that stuff.

You captured the destruction—I remember images of the Hilton Hotel in Santa Rosa being in flames, totally destroyed. Also images of people consoling each other, images of firefighters. I’m wondering if there are any particular photos that you remember capturing that have stuck with you since last year.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was one. I met a guy named Mike. This was near Glen Ellen, and he lived in a small little house that was, it was kind this little cul-de-sac, and it wasn’t like a traditional street, and it was just like this little development that had maybe three or four houses on it. Three other houses around it had been burned down, and he was trying to save his little house—running around, the fence was on fire. He’s trying to do all he can to keep it away from his house. And at one point he climbed up on top of the roof so he could just sort of get an overview and to see what he was dealing with. And there’s a picture I took of him jumping off the roof back down on the ground as he was like frantically, you know, trying to rush around and extinguish all the flames that were encroaching on his little house. I think at the end of the day, he managed to save his house, and it was the only one that was saved in the area. The immediate area around his house, everything else burned down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11698754 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A resident rushes to save his home as an out of control wildfire moves through the area on October 9, 2017 in Glen Ellen, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS27223_GettyImages-859436442-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A resident rushes to save his home as an out of control wildfire moves through the area on October 9, 2017 in Glen Ellen, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you kept in touch with him in any way?

I honestly started my day, the day that the fires started, in Napa County, and then I slowly started to move toward Sonoma. I didn’t even get to Santa Rosa until probably the afternoon. I didn’t even know about the Coffey Park neighborhood until maybe two days later when I went over in a helicopter, and that was the first time I had seen that widespread devastation and was completely blown away. There was just so much going on. I think on that very first day, I drove from Marin County, where I live, to Sonoma, all the way up to Calistoga, down in Napa, all the way to Santa Rosa and back.

Did this feel different at all because this massive destruction was so close to where you live? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It did in many ways. For the start, I woke up in the middle of the night, and my girlfriend woke me up and said, “Hey, I think there’s a fire in our building.” And sure enough, I woke up and it smelled like smoke. I looked outside, and there was smoke everywhere. And this was probably maybe two or three hours after the fire started—that’s how strong the winds were blowing. It just blew. Marin County was just socked in with smoke. And then, in the days to come after the fact, I got more phone calls and emails from people that I know in the area saying, “Hey, can you go take a look and see my cousin’s house and my brother’s house, or my house? We can’t get in. If you’re in that area, can you take a look?” And I’ve never really had that on fires. A lot of the fires I cover are in remote areas or in Southern California, and I don’t necessarily know many people in the area in Southern California or rural California. So it kind of hit home that people, you know, identified with me being there and just wanted peace of mind to know, “Hey, is my property OK, or is my brother’s property OK?” And I ended up going and looking at maybe six or seven people’s homes that I’ve known for many years just to make sure it was still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11698758 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33157_GettyImages-1047746632-qut-800x1078.jpg\" alt=\"In this composite image a comparison has been made between the days of the 2017 Tubbs Fire and what those areas look like on the one year anniversary of California's most destructive wildfire complex.

I’m wondering, what are your thoughts, one year later, on how the community is rebuilding, from the perspective of an observer, somebody who’s capturing images of it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I was sort of struck by that as well because I’ve never gone back to an area that I photographed in a fire because typically areas don’t have such a wide area that burned down. That Coffey Park area in particular, where literally hundreds of homes were just gone. To go back and see, you know, a fraction of them popping up, but there’s still a lot that’s not being built. There are “for sale” signs on some of the pieces of land. There’s just pieces of land that are just empty. You know, they’ve taken everything out, they’ve cleared all the toxic debris out, and it’s just an empty lot now. But there are some neighborhoods that I went to that there were probably maybe 50 or 60 homes in there, and now there are only two that have come back. It’s a slow progression, and hopefully it does come back to the vibrant community that once was.

I remember seeing it maybe like on the third day, driving back up to Napa just to continue the fire coverage, and passing by in the morning and completely doing a U-turn, just going back, because I think it spoke for that region. And you did see people, and you still to this day see people, coming out for each other regardless of who you are, what you do, what color you are. The community really came together. Almost immediately, you could see it, and I thought that was a perfect motto for the situation at hand there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11698775\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33159_GettyImages-1047746746-qut-800x1060.jpg\" alt=\"(Top image) Smoke billows from a neighborhood that was destroyed by a fast moving wildfire on October 9, 2017 in Santa Rosa.

And it’s taking a toll on people who are constantly exposed to fires, people who are losing their homes. Is it taking a toll on you at all, as somebody who is going out to these fire zones and photographing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. It’s an exhausting task to go to cover these fires. A lot of the times, like I said before, they’re in areas that are rural. You know, it will take you hours to get there. Once you’re there, there are no resources available anymore. You’re kind of self-sufficient for as long as you’re up there sometimes. You’ll cover one of these fires between three and seven days, and you’ve been sleeping in your car, or you do camping when it’s available, and it’s exhausting. The size of these fires has grown tenfold in the past ten years. I mean, they grow so fast now. I was talking to a friend recently about fires that we covered 10 years ago and how we thought at the time, “Wow! That was a huge fire. It was 35,000 acres!” Now, 35,000 acres happens in a matter of hours. And then they explode into these 400,000, 500,000 acre fires. I don’t know that I ever thought I would see that. And it’s exhausting that in months like December, where you don’t expect this thing to happen here, you’re out there still covering fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s funny. It’s quirky. It’s dark. The subject matter is uncomfortable at times, and somehow she still created this really quite musical world. The characters are all really eccentric. I felt like they were also human, because they weren’t perfect. And so I liked the idea of getting to dive into their psychology, and try to tease that out a little bit with songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The movie is set in a small town in the Deep South, as is the musical. How much did your own upbringing in Eureka inform your work on the musical?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can relate to the idea of coming from a community — the good and the bad of that. The people who really want the best for you, and also the people who think they know what’s best for you, when they don’t. So I sort of understand that it’s delicate, the dance that you do when you’re trying to sort of find yourself in a small town. Luckily Jenna, our lead character, she has an incredible community, wonderful friends and some new strangers that come through town that cause all sorts of mayhem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11697990\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11697990\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised.jpg\" alt='\"Waitress\" flier.' width=\"600\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-160x88.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-240x132.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-375x206.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-520x286.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Waitress” flier. \u003ccite>(Courtesy SHN)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have a bunch of brilliant comic songs in the musical, like the number about pregnancy, “Club Knocked Up.” But below the levity of these songs, like this one, is some really dark stuff.

It’s the darkness and light, you know, the yin and yang. We don’t have all one thing or the other.

It’s funny. It’s quirky. It’s dark. The subject matter is uncomfortable at times, and somehow she still created this really quite musical world. The characters are all really eccentric. I felt like they were also human, because they weren’t perfect. And so I liked the idea of getting to dive into their psychology, and try to tease that out a little bit with songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The movie is set in a small town in the Deep South, as is the musical. How much did your own upbringing in Eureka inform your work on the musical?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can relate to the idea of coming from a community — the good and the bad of that. The people who really want the best for you, and also the people who think they know what’s best for you, when they don’t. So I sort of understand that it’s delicate, the dance that you do when you’re trying to sort of find yourself in a small town. Luckily Jenna, our lead character, she has an incredible community, wonderful friends and some new strangers that come through town that cause all sorts of mayhem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11697990\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11697990\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised.jpg\" alt='\"Waitress\" flier.' width=\"600\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-160x88.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-240x132.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-375x206.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/600x330_WAITRESSrevised-520x286.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Waitress” flier. \u003ccite>(Courtesy SHN)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have a bunch of brilliant comic songs in the musical, like the number about pregnancy, “Club Knocked Up.” But below the levity of these songs, like this one, is some really dark stuff. Why is it important that the musical walks the line between humor and heaviness?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that’s, for me, what it means to be alive. It’s the darkness and light, you know, the yin and yang. We don’t have all one thing or the other.

Jenna takes control of her career and her love life. But to what degree do you think the musical’s storyline ends up reinforcing traditional gender stereotypes? After all, the kindness of one wealthy male character, Old Joe, plays a big role in helping Jenna overcome some of her challenges.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve talked about making him “Old Josephine.” You know, I don’t think there’s anything that’s off the table in terms of re-imagining how these sort of patriarchal “stereotypes” run through.

And I don’t think you need to jettison the male point of view to tell feminist stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sara Bareilles’ Broadway musical “Waitress” plays on tour at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theater Oct. 16 – Nov. 11, 2018.

According to Santa Rosa Symphony President and CEO Alan Silow, 22 families closely connected to the symphony lost their homes in the fires, including members of the board, musicians and staff. A number of the organizations’ major donors and subscribers also lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The symphony had to cancel and postpone concerts and call off their annual donation campaign, as many of the symphony’s staff were forced to evacuate from their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still paid our staff for the time they had to miss, we still paid our musicians for the concerts we had to cancel, because we thought that was the right thing to do,” Silow said. “But obviously that also impacted us, fiscally speaking, as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Silow said, they’re beginning to move toward recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if I would say it’s triumph, but we’re definitely in recovery,” he said. “And I think whenever tragedies hit like that, the silver lining is it brings out the best of people. It has definitely brought out the best of people in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a sentiment that Dooley worked to capture in “Sonoma Strong.” After the piece’s ominous climax, there’s a marked change in tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New instruments enter. The key changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The piece transitions to what I would call the rebirth,” he said. “And it’s the first entrance of the woodwinds: the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the “rebirth” portion, Dooley builds off of the themes he established at the beginning of the piece but with new instruments and a different tone, giving it a “more heroic and celebratory fashion and feel,” according to Dooley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heroism and celebration — the feeling of triumph that comes along with rebuilding — is what Dooley hopes sticks with the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that through the transformation of the piece, people are somewhat reminded of what happened last year, but are given a new outlook. Or the piece helps them transform their view of the horror of [the wildfires] into something positive and something that can bring the community together, as the construction and rebuilding continues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Santa Rosa Symphony will perform “Sonoma Strong” on Monday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 pm at the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The key changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The piece transitions to what I would call the rebirth,” he said. “And it’s the first entrance of the woodwinds: the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the “rebirth” portion, Dooley builds off of the themes he established at the beginning of the piece but with new instruments and a different tone, giving it a “more heroic and celebratory fashion and feel,” according to Dooley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heroism and celebration — the feeling of triumph that comes along with rebuilding — is what Dooley hopes sticks with the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that through the transformation of the piece, people are somewhat reminded of what happened last year, but are given a new outlook. Or the piece helps them transform their view of the horror of [the wildfires] into something positive and something that can bring the community together, as the construction and rebuilding continues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Santa Rosa Symphony will perform “Sonoma Strong” on Monday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 pm at the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But the Yankees’ renaissance during my 1970s childhood only seemed to prove him correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner was stockpiling superstars, while my Mets felt it fiscally prudent to divest themselves of anyone who might help them, you know, \u003cem>win\u003c/em>. Because my 12-year-old’s interpretation of how the world worked included loserdom by association with your favorite team, my resentment of the Yankees grew. (One of my least cherished memories is attending as a fifth columnist the 1976 Yankees-Royals playoff game at which Chris Chambliss hit a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS6HGwoRrkY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walk-off home run\u003c/a> to send New York to the World Series. While my 55,000 ecstatic city brethren whooped it up, I sat stonefaced, dissociating among the handslaps and hugs.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now — this is 2001 — we were in the midst of another Yankee run. The team had won three straight championships, the last over the Mets. The fear among the greater community of Yankee haters was that this juggernaut would never \u003cem>lose\u003c/em> again. Not only did they have the best team, the best manager and the most money, they also had, so it is said, something called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yankee+mystique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yankee mystique\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What that is, I can’t quite articulate, but with all due respect to rationality, it must be feared. Why? Because 27 World Series wins say so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, like an avenging angel, Yankee mystique swoops down upon opposing players (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/sports/baseball/mickey-owen-dies-at-89-allowed-fateful-passed-ball.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey Owen\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-35ghwAw90&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pedro Martinez\u003c/a>) and sometimes, as Guardian of the Realm, it bestows swift shots of grace upon the Yankees themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, A’s fans saw the phenomenon firsthand in the avatar of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Jeter\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, Yankee mystique manifests as a creeping foreboding, that no matter what the situation on the scoreboard or the standings, the Yankees will eventually humiliate whoever’s in their way — and their little fans, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should their power lie dormant an inning, a season, a decade, those in the know understand, their power can be contained but never destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That terrible October, 17 years ago, my grandfather had lived through the entirety of the Yankees’ 80-year hegemony. He knew the scope of the problem as well as anyone, and I wanted to hear him voice it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The World Series is coming up, ” I say to him. “Diamondbacks-Yankees …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t uttered 10 words all visit — he is not going to live much longer, and in fact, this is the last time I will see him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He nods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m rooting for the Yankees,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I blink. My uncle gasps. My father, head hater of us all, wrinkles his face as if trying to screw it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The New York team,” my grandfather calmly explains. “I’m rooting for the New York team…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cem>that’s\u003c/em> when it hit me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sept. 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It changed \u003cem>everything\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandfather’s confession had scandalized his offspring. After the visit, on the elevator down, my uncle puts it into perspective in the most tasteless way possible:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t root for the Yankees if they were playing the Berlin Nazis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there you have it. Hey, listen, I’m not glowing with pride here. The Yankees lost that World Series, and, as always, I rooted against them — hard. Even in that time of great crisis, with my disfigured, traumatized hometown in dire need of a victory, I could not rise above my own petty feud with the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in 2018, I understand my grandfather had it right. I mean, this sort of unrestrained \u003ci>tribalism\u003c/i> — haven’t we used it, perhaps, as trial run for the more consequential divisions in our current politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe you have to be as old as my grandfather to finally understand that. Or maybe the Greatest Generation couldn’t help but do what times demand. Or maybe he was just a better man than I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because basically, I remain an unreconstructed Yankee hater. Call it habit, call it stubbornness. Though it’s no way to live, I continue to view any Yankee resurgence like a harbinger of the coming collapse of Western civilization, even while \u003cem>genuine\u003c/em> harbingers render the notion ridiculous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can I do, but lean into it?

My parents live in downtown Manhattan, just a medium walk away from the \u003cem>thing\u003c/em> itself. Invisible plumes of \u003cem>whatever\u003c/em> — you try not to think about it — snake their way through city streets, waft along the avenues, keep you company on cab rides. Inevitably, they find their way to your nostrils, and you get a nice big whiff of hell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each time I wade out into that acrid soup, I look up and south. You know, maybe catch a glimpse of some smoking ruins or something. But there \u003cem>aren’t\u003c/em> any smoking ruins, because somebody has Photoshopped the skyline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the city got its two front teeth knocked out, and a lot of people are dead. My dad says we gotta visit my grandfather, up on 86th and First. So we cab it, along with my uncle. Don’t mention \u003cem>what happened\u003c/em>, my dad says. Sure, I think. I mean, the old man, what is he, 91, 92? Lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, and the genuine possibility of nuclear annihilation. Enough already, yes?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">My family, of course, hates the Yankees. Not just hates. \u003cstrong>Hates, despises, loathes.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>How I’m gonna get through this visit, I don’t know. But thank god for baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In matters of war and peace, there’s not much intergenerational accord in our clan. But at least we agree on one thing. This here’s a \u003cem>National League\u003c/em> family. That unbroken line of devotion, from my grandfather’s New York Giants to his sons’ Giants \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Dodgers (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T0drh8i4Tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1951\u003c/a> was brutal according to family lore) to the entire family’s last, best hope in the form of the New York Mets (please, don’t get me started).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This legacy, passed down from father to son, then repeat, has always provided the nearest thing to a bond among the remaining living branches on our family tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And soon, we will have the World Series. This year, in 2001, the Senior Circuit will offer up the Arizona Diamondbacks as annual sacrifice to that hungry behemoth of the opposing league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My family, of course, hates the Yankees. Not just hates. \u003cem>Hates, despises, loathes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? As a kid, I once put the question to my father, who looked at me like I’d asked why we don’t have candy for breakfast. Pressed, he finally spit out, with maximum venom: “They never gave anyone else a chance to win!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11696083\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11696083\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-800x587.jpg\" alt=\"An Oakland A's cap sits next to a Yankee Hater's cap (yes, they exist) on the author's kitchen table.\" width=\"800\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-800x587.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-160x117.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-1020x749.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-1200x881.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-1180x866.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-960x705.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-240x176.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-375x275.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AsVAntiYanksCaps-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Oakland A’s cap sits next to a Yankee Hater’s cap (yes, they exist) on the author’s kitchen table. \u003ccite>(Jon Brooks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even as a child, this struck me as hypocritical, considering the zero-sum attitude my dad applied to all other areas in life. But the Yankees’ renaissance during my 1970s childhood only seemed to prove him correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner was stockpiling superstars, while my Mets felt it fiscally prudent to divest themselves of anyone who might help them, you know, \u003cem>win\u003c/em>. Because my 12-year-old’s interpretation of how the world worked included loserdom by association with your favorite team, my resentment of the Yankees grew. (One of my least cherished memories is attending as a fifth columnist the 1976 Yankees-Royals playoff game at which Chris Chambliss hit a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS6HGwoRrkY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walk-off home run\u003c/a> to send New York to the World Series. While my 55,000 ecstatic city brethren whooped it up, I sat stonefaced, dissociating among the handslaps and hugs.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now — this is 2001 — we were in the midst of another Yankee run. The team had won three straight championships, the last over the Mets. The fear among the greater community of Yankee haters was that this juggernaut would never \u003cem>lose\u003c/em> again. Not only did they have the best team, the best manager and the most money, they also had, so it is said, something called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yankee+mystique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yankee mystique\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What that is, I can’t quite articulate, but with all due respect to rationality, it must be feared. Why? Because 27 World Series wins say so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, like an avenging angel, Yankee mystique swoops down upon opposing players (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/sports/baseball/mickey-owen-dies-at-89-allowed-fateful-passed-ball.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey Owen\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-35ghwAw90&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pedro Martinez\u003c/a>) and sometimes, as Guardian of the Realm, it bestows swift shots of grace upon the Yankees themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, A’s fans saw the phenomenon firsthand in the avatar of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Jeter\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ApoJk9X7Vto'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ApoJk9X7Vto'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>For me, Yankee mystique manifests as a creeping foreboding, that no matter what the situation on the scoreboard or the standings, the Yankees will eventually humiliate whoever’s in their way — and their little fans, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should their power lie dormant an inning, a season, a decade, those in the know understand, their power can be contained but never destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That terrible October, 17 years ago, my grandfather had lived through the entirety of the Yankees’ 80-year hegemony. He knew the scope of the problem as well as anyone, and I wanted to hear him voice it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The World Series is coming up, ” I say to him. “Diamondbacks-Yankees …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t uttered 10 words all visit — he is not going to live much longer, and in fact, this is the last time I will see him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He nods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m rooting for the Yankees,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I blink. My uncle gasps. My father, head hater of us all, wrinkles his face as if trying to screw it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The New York team,” my grandfather calmly explains. “I’m rooting for the New York team…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cem>that’s\u003c/em> when it hit me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sept. 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It changed \u003cem>everything\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandfather’s confession had scandalized his offspring. After the visit, on the elevator down, my uncle puts it into perspective in the most tasteless way possible:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t root for the Yankees if they were playing the Berlin Nazis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there you have it. Hey, listen, I’m not glowing with pride here. The Yankees lost that World Series, and, as always, I rooted against them — hard. Even in that time of great crisis, with my disfigured, traumatized hometown in dire need of a victory, I could not rise above my own petty feud with the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in 2018, I understand my grandfather had it right. I mean, this sort of unrestrained \u003ci>tribalism\u003c/i> — haven’t we used it, perhaps, as trial run for the more consequential divisions in our current politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe you have to be as old as my grandfather to finally understand that. Or maybe the Greatest Generation couldn’t help but do what times demand. Or maybe he was just a better man than I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because basically, I remain an unreconstructed Yankee hater. Call it habit, call it stubbornness. Though it’s no way to live, I continue to view any Yankee resurgence like a harbinger of the coming collapse of Western civilization, even while \u003cem>genuine\u003c/em> harbingers render the notion ridiculous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can I do, but lean into it? While it’s been nine years since the team has prevailed, one must stay vigilant, mustn’t one? While this year’s mighty Red Sox have made a perfectly terrific Yankee season look like second prize in a beauty contest, the Yankees have closed out the season by taking 3 of 4 from their archrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, I feel that the barbarians are at the gate, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to stop hating the Yankees, but I just can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C’mon, A’s!
