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.",

An undetermined number of homes have been destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11782314]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuations were ordered late Wednesday in the sparsely populated area in the hills east of Cloverdale. Mandatory evacuation orders expanded before dawn Thursday to include the town of Geyserville, a community of about 900 centered at the junction of U.S. 101 and Highway 128 about 20 miles north of Santa Rosa. Evacuation orders have been issued for approximately 2,000 people, Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said during a noon press conference on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not the time to stay. It's the time to leave,\" Essick said about residents resistant to the evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said an evacuation warning has also been issued for the unincorporated area north of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze, dubbed the Kincade Fire, started just before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and had consumed an estimated 10,000 acres on both sides of the Sonoma-Lake county line by 4 a.m. Thursday. It was 0% contained. Cal Fire incident commander Mike Parkes said the burn area is probably larger, but mapping of the fire had been difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AndreaKPIX/status/1187278329918844928\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were varying reports on damage. Cal Fire said in a 7 a.m. update that the blaze, burning in an area where PG&E had shut off power Wednesday afternoon due to the onset of gusty winds and plummeting humidity, had damaged two structures. But social media posts from journalists in the area showed residences that had been destroyed in the fire. Parkes said at a noon press conference that an undetermined number of structures have been destroyed, but crews could not yet determine if they were residences or outbuildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beverly Hansel, who evacuated her Alexander Valley home, said she heard news of the fire at about 10 p.m. while watching the news. She said she lost her home, which she shared with her daughter and daughter's boyfriend, to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then as soon as we started packing our stuff, we realized we had to get out now,\" Hansel said. \"We didn't grab any of it. Some of it we got, but not very much. We just have a little vehicle. And we watched the rest of it burn down. It’s heartbreaking.

That study found non-body contact (such as hiking and boating) didn’t significantly impact the water quality, but swimming could lead to fecal coliform and other bacteria (i.e., from poop and pee).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based in part on that report, the state developed a set of guidelines in the 1970s for our drinking water reservoirs. And swimming has been banned ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted, however, that it appears a number of water districts remained somewhat unaware of the regulations until the state started to crack down much later. For example, swimming was allowed in some Santa Clara County reservoirs through 1990—until the department of health let the water district know swimming was banned in drinking water storage facilities. (The county later did \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/PlansProjects/Documents/final-countywide-swim-feasibility-study-reduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a feasibility study\u003c/a> to see if a swimming spot could be built because of public demand.

It was just pulled out of the reservoir, treated with chlorine or other chemicals, and then sent down our taps. So there was a need for it to be very clean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filtration requirements started around 1990, and these days water treatment is a lot better.

California is also a drought state, so those reservoirs can get really small and the water can sit around for a lot longer.

There are no other exemptions in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, if you want a new exemption to allow swimming at a reservoir near you, then you have to get a law passed by the state Legislature.

California is also a drought state, so those reservoirs can get really small and the water can sit around for a lot longer.

That’s also why we have different rules here for rivers and moving bodies of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OK, so why can you swim in Lake Del Valle?

For example, all of San Diego County got an exemption for their reservoirs a long time ago. And all State Water Project reservoirs were exempted as part of the arrangement to get voters to approve funding for the project. Lake Del Valle is part of the State Water Project. There are no other exemptions in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, if you want a new exemption to allow swimming at a reservoir near you, then you have to get a law passed by the state Legislature.
