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.",

And while dumping it is costly, Powell estimates the group has saved Montecito residents more than a million dollars in cleanup costs so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the work happening each weekend in Montecito helps more than just the hard-hit homeowners, says local contractor and volunteer John Trimble of Santa Barbara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For most of the volunteers it’s as much for them as it is for the people they’re helping,” says Trimble. “It really is a cleansing experience for the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow volunteer Jed Hirsch, also a local contractor who lives in nearby Summerland says with each passing week, those who show up to dig seem to be more relaxed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are beginning to smile,” Hirsh says. “And that’s the interesting part of it – seeing how people are maturing into this tragedy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660263\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30312_Bucket-Brigade-7-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Rubber boots and other mud-caked items sit atop a table in Peri Thompson's kitchen.

I started competing in like statewide competitions for jazz, classical and stuff. I don’t know how I wrote my first song, but I actually remember the whole song. It’s not very good so I won’t sing it now, but [the lyrics are]: “This is why I can’t afford to go out there and lie anymore / It messed up my life and now I learned the longer you do it, it just gets worse and worse / So all I have to do is work hard every day, keep on pressing on and some day it will all come together and get all better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644587\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11644587\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Jason-Paras-couch-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carpinteria singer-songwriter Jason Paras. \u003ccite>(Steven Cuevas / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I’m currently recording a song about how everyone’s important, no matter who you are, no matter what your job is.
