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.",

Whenever possible, tries to be outside of the studio, connecting these big issues to the daily lives of Californians experiencing them in very personal ways.\r\n\r\nBefore joining KQED, Saul worked for the PBS \u003cem>NewsHour, Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, \u003c/em>and public radio affiliate KCRW in Santa Monica, where he also hosted the podcast series \"There Goes the Neighborhood\" about gentrification. For his work, Saul has been honored with several Emmys and is a two-time winner of the L.A. Press Club's Radio Journalist of the Year Award.\r\n\r\nWhen not working, Saul spends his time trying to hone his amateur photography skills and spending as much time as possible in bookstores and coffee houses.",

Prior to the pandemic, the school created a native plant and organic vegetable garden, complete with a chicken coop.

In the Waldorf-inspired play-based program, outdoor learning spaces are strategically set up to facilitate different kinds of learning: the children garden, they build with random pieces of wood, they cook and they paint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A peek into Adam Kilcollins' first grade classroom reveals a unique setup, one that school Executive Director Gavin Keller says has helped keep everyone healthy, even through the winter COVID-19 spikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11870067\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/converted-IMG_2572-scaled-e1618865021242.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11870067\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/converted-IMG_2572-scaled-e1618865021242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raz Allen, a teaching aide, helps students sitting at outside tables at the Journey School in Aliso Viejo. \u003ccite>(Deepa Fernandes/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kilcollins’ class is divided into three groups. One cohort is sitting 6 feet apart on long picnic tables under tent canopies just outside the door to their indoor classroom. Another cohort is inside the classroom with Kilcollins.

And parents, he adds, love that their kids can be back almost full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school also provides a teaching aide to help children sitting outside. And while they have their laptops open to hear Kilcollins’ Zoom lesson, they are using pencil and paper to do the actual work, reducing the amount of screen time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are some challenges in having an outdoor classroom,” Keller said, noting that weather is a big one. “We had a storm three weeks ago that came through that was fairly significant and we were unable to offer that instruction outdoors.

And I think it’s with that spirit that we look at how to best prepare for this November’s election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said many policies embraced in recent years by the state, including online voter registration and increasing the ease of using vote-by-mail ballots, “will serve us well in terms of keeping our democracy going during this public health crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation — a nonpartisan group dedicated to ensuring access to voting — said it’s true that California is in a good spot compared to many other states, given its commitment to voting access. But she noted that Los Angeles County saw big problems during the March primary, when it moved to a new voting system and eliminated hundreds of polling places in favor of voting centers, resulting in hours-long lines on Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So there already was a discussion going on — and there is a discussion going on — among lawmakers, the secretary of state and the LA County Board of Supervisors about the feasibility of expanding vote-by-mail ballot distribution in Los Angeles County to all 5.5 million registered voters there,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if counties can get all voters a ballot in the mail, another challenge remains, noted Alexander: making sure voters know they have them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When voters don’t connect with their ballots, they end up showing up at polling places on Election Day asking to vote, and then they’re stuck voting with a provisional ballot. … That creates a lot of unhappy voters because they don’t want to cast provisional ballots and it makes more work for election officials,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said counties will get some practice in the coming weeks, and the state will learn some lessons, when three separate jurisdictions — Riverside County, portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and the city of Westminster in Orange County — hold separate special elections in April and May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an\u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3.20.20-N-34-20.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> executive order\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> making all three of those elections vote-by-mail ballot only. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And broadly speaking, Padilla added, voting by mail “has been gaining in popularity,” in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, in some counties maybe 50% or slightly higher vote by mail. Other counties have been north of 70% for some time,” he said. “So moving to a model that calls for every voter being mailed a ballot automatically shouldn’t be as big of a shift for counties in California as for jurisdictions in other parts of the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley will oversee the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2020/02/20/emotions-and-campaign-signs-flare-up-before-westminster-recall-vote/\">April 7 election in Westminster\u003c/a>, a vote to recall the mayor and two city council members. Since about 80 percent of voters in the county are already used to voting by mail, he doesn’t think the switch to an entirely vote-by-mail election will be all that difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’ve done for Westminster is we’ve actually sent out a communication to every single voter in that jurisdiction,” he said. “We would do the same thing for any upcoming election as well, to let them know, ‘Hey, here’s the options for you’.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the March primary, Kelley said, Orange County for the first time allowed disabled and overseas voters to electronically mark a ballot online and then mail it in — and that option is being expanded in the upcoming election to anyone affected by the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the credit of the state, and particularly the secretary of state, they’ve already put together a working group looking forward to November, how we’re gonna meet those challenges.

A line of men and women bundled against the chill curled past the National Guard Armory’s entrance, around the side of the building and into the parking lot, about 150 in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside, the layout looked like something provided to evacuees after a disaster: row after row of black sleeping pads, lined up edge to edge. But for the people staying here, this is not temporary shelter: Each year for the last decade, from mid-December until the funding runs out in April or May, the same group calls the concrete floor and five bathrooms home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Orange County’s answer to its growing, highly concentrated homeless population. On this day in January, the elderly, people with disabilities and a family were let in early and picked out their sleeping mats first. A trio of men, lined up at least an hour before the shelter doors opened, trickled in with camping gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every December, when the shelter opens, “I’m always amazed. It’s like the first day of school,” said Larry Haynes, executive director of Mercy House, the nonprofit that operates the 10,000-square foot armory shelter. “Everyone says hello like they’re old friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This shelter — on state land, run by a nonprofit agency — should serve as the basic model of what Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 8, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/EO-N-23-20-Homelessness-Crisis-01.08.2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsom issued an executive order\u003c/a> that tasked state agencies with evaluating excess land for use as possible emergency homeless shelters. A state \u003ca href=\"https://cadgs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=392e5e687e9041bb8f20e3acc5b211c7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">map \u003c/a>created last year shows more than 1,000 parcels, ranging from a quarter-acre near a San Diego freeway to 70 acres next to a minimum-security prison in Chino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Santa Ana armory has become a harbinger of the problems that mayors and county executives foresee with new emergency shelters in their backyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Pushback from Local Leaders\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Last summer, a federal judge lauded Orange County for a cooperative plan to avoid arresting homeless people while directing them toward county housing and health services. The judge called the agreement between the county and homeless activists a model for the rest of the state, if not the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The peace barely lasted into the new year. Santa Ana, the county’s poorest city, \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/7760866/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed suit in January,\u003c/a> alleging that three other Orange County cities are dropping off their homeless population at the armory in a community that already has a disproportionate amount of shelters. The county has a 400-bed shelter in downtown Santa Ana, with plans to expand it, and the city has a 200-bed shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In recent years, the city of Santa Ana has been compelled to spend millions of dollars from its general fund to address health and safety concerns attributable to the homeless population now living here,” the city said in the lawsuit. “That money would otherwise have been spent on providing core services to residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several cities and counties contacted by CalMatters, local leaders expressed concern about the governor’s plan to open land for shelters in their jurisdictions. Some see it as ineffective and unfair — offering state land but not paying for the costs associated with a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Richmond Mayor Tom Butt\"]‘The governor’s task force on homelessness decided that cities and counties should be responsible for this. I think that’s just wrong.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The elected leaders say they’ve received little information about how the shelters will operate or who will operate them.

Land is costly, and if the state’s willing to partner with us and provide land, I only have two words: thank you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reducing homelessness and its associated issues, including mental health, are big challenges, said Weiss, mayor of Oceanside. Many residents have negative perceptions of homeless people because of crime, litter and frequent calls for police, so they may oppose a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said he would welcome a new shelter — but not the associated costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans identified a 17-acre parcel of excess land south of State Route 76 in Oceanside, but Weiss said he doesn’t know how the city or county would pay for a shelter there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/2015-CoC-Application.pdf\">Richmond and Contra Costa County homeless coalition\u003c/a> will be allocated one-time funding of up to $2.7 million in emergency homeless aid from the state, along with another $2.5 million that’s available directly to the county as part of the state’s $650 million going directly to cities, counties and regional care associations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Richmond’s mayor says that’s not nearly enough when counts show his city alone has at least 400 unsheltered people at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re either gonna continue to put Band-Aids on it and push these people into shelters and Tuff Sheds and that, or the state is going to pay up. California’s rich enough to afford it, the United States is rich enough to afford it,” Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I read this thing that the problem’s gonna get pushed down to cities and counties, that’s just crazy and it makes no sense.

There was local control, and there haven’t been results,” he said. “For cities and counties that think they don’t have enough money, they have a reckoning coming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Steinberg said, is how Californians think about the word “shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter has been and in many ways continues to be a pejorative term,” Steinberg said. “It implies to people who are skeptics that the only kind of shelter is a long-term, dusty, mis-run facility where people are helpless without the ability to get long-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a stereotype and it may have been an accurate stereotype at one point. But now, when we say shelter, we’re talking about navigation centers, where the point is to gain stability to get off the streets permanently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801333\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11801333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41319_STATE-SHELTERS-photo-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Esteban Gonzalez keeps watch over a dozen shopping carts full of personal items belonging to a group of homeless individuals across the street from Los Angeles City Hall on August 7, 2019.

Of that, Newsom has made \u003ca href=\"https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/hhap_allocations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$500 million\u003c/a> available; the other $150 million will be disbursed once the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development certifies the 2019 “point in time” count of homeless people. Newsom is asking the Legislature for another $750 million in this year’s budget, some of which would go to shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor has made available a historic amount of resources, in addition to the money that naturally goes to cities and counties for homelessness and mental health resources,” Elliott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opening and running a homeless shelter for even just a short time can cost millions. A\u003ca href=\"https://www.modbee.com/news/local/article235394812.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> tent shelter underneath a bridge\u003c/a> for 420 people cost Modesto $1.6 million during the 10 months it was open. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article230135694.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A shelter in Sacramento\u003c/a> with services focused on finding temporary or permanent housing cost the city $5 million in public and private money over 17 months, raising hackles on the City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless advocates say that the shelters will reduce the cost of jails, emergency room visits and other services that would result from people living outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got to bring people indoors,” said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who is co-chair of the governor’s council on homelessness. “I view this as all new opportunity. Land is costly, and if the state’s willing to partner with us and provide land, I only have two words: thank you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reducing homelessness and its associated issues, including mental health, are big challenges, said Weiss, mayor of Oceanside. Many residents have negative perceptions of homeless people because of crime, litter and frequent calls for police, so they may oppose a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said he would welcome a new shelter — but not the associated costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans identified a 17-acre parcel of excess land south of State Route 76 in Oceanside, but Weiss said he doesn’t know how the city or county would pay for a shelter there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/2015-CoC-Application.pdf\">Richmond and Contra Costa County homeless coalition\u003c/a> will be allocated one-time funding of up to $2.7 million in emergency homeless aid from the state, along with another $2.5 million that’s available directly to the county as part of the state’s $650 million going directly to cities, counties and regional care associations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Richmond’s mayor says that’s not nearly enough when counts show his city alone has at least 400 unsheltered people at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re either gonna continue to put Band-Aids on it and push these people into shelters and Tuff Sheds and that, or the state is going to pay up. California’s rich enough to afford it, the United States is rich enough to afford it,” Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I read this thing that the problem’s gonna get pushed down to cities and counties, that’s just crazy and it makes no sense. We’re either gonna solve it or we’re gonna keep pushing it down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Whatever-It-Takes Mode\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Steinberg, Sacramento’s mayor, said the counties and regions could work together to solve the homeless crisis, but they haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one would ask the counties or cities to do what they can’t do, but we are in whatever-it-takes mode,” Steinberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Gore, a Sonoma County supervisor and first vice president of the California State Association of Counties, said there could be electoral consequences for officials that push forward with shelter plans. “Diving into homelessness and affordable housing is a good way for elected officials to get voted out of office in a world run by NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard),” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Gore said the governor’s shelter plan is urgently necessary, especially since local efforts haven’t been effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would look at my colleagues who are criticizing the governor and say the time for criticism is over. There was local control, and there haven’t been results,” he said. “For cities and counties that think they don’t have enough money, they have a reckoning coming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Steinberg said, is how Californians think about the word “shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter has been and in many ways continues to be a pejorative term,” Steinberg said. “It implies to people who are skeptics that the only kind of shelter is a long-term, dusty, mis-run facility where people are helpless without the ability to get long-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a stereotype and it may have been an accurate stereotype at one point. But now, when we say shelter, we’re talking about navigation centers, where the point is to gain stability to get off the streets permanently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801333\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11801333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41319_STATE-SHELTERS-photo-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Esteban Gonzalez keeps watch over a dozen shopping carts full of personal items belonging to a group of homeless individuals across the street from Los Angeles City Hall on August 7, 2019.

On average, deputies delayed booking evidence for 3 1/2 days. Additionally, 27% of deputies had held on to evidence for 31 days or longer.
