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.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"}},"breakingNewsReducer":{},"campaignFinanceReducer":{},"pagesReducer":{},"postsReducer":{"stream_live":{"type":"live","id":"stream_live","audioUrl":"https://streams.kqed.org/kqedradio","title":"Live Stream","excerpt":"Live Stream information currently unavailable.","link":"/radio","featImg":"","label":{"name":"KQED Live","link":"/"}},"stream_kqedNewscast":{"type":"posts","id":"stream_kqedNewscast","audioUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/newscast.mp3?_=1","title":"KQED Newscast","featImg":"","label":{"name":"88.5 FM","link":"/"}},"news_11945840":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11945840","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11945840","score":null,"sort":[1680868851000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1680868851,"format":"standard","title":"PHOTOS: See How Storms Have Refilled California Reservoirs","headTitle":"PHOTOS: See How Storms Have Refilled California Reservoirs | KQED","content":"\u003cp>Water levels fell so low in key reservoirs during \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-droughts-government-and-politics-science-business-76709d5854394905e0f46880ed6dab9c\">the depth of California’s drought\u003c/a> that boat docks sat on dry, cracked land and cars drove into the center of what should have been Folsom Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those scenes are no more after a series of powerful storms dumped record amounts of rain and snow across California, replenishing reservoirs and bringing an end — mostly — to the state’s three-year drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, 12 of California’s 17 major reservoirs are filled above their historical averages for the start of spring.

In January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11644652/new-cost-estimate-for-oroville-spillway-disaster-and-recovery-870-million\">DWR estimated \u003c/a>the project cost at $870 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department's original estimate for the cost of the February 2017 spillway failure and its aftermath -- a guess made before the rapid erosion of the emergency spillway prompted the evacuation of about 188,000 people from communities along the Feather River below the dam -- was between $100 million and $200 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said the estimated cost of construction has risen from $500 million to $630 million. The estimate for related cleanup work, including agency staff time and future cleanup and restoration of the massive job site, has risen from $210 million to $310 million. The rest of the price tag -- $160 million -- is for the initial emergency response and remains unchanged from earlier this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said during Wednesday's briefing that the $130 million in increased construction costs is due to the need for additional crews to help rebuild the main spillway by Nov. 1 and for work to limit erosion in the adjoining emergency spillway if it overflows again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To protect the emergency spillway -- a tree- and brush-covered hillside below a quarter-mile-long concrete weir -- engineers have devised a massive concrete splash pad and \"cutoff wall.\" Water would pour down the splash pad and down a long series of steps -- designed to dissipate the energy of flowing water -- before reaching the unpaved portion of the hillside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cutoff wall, consisting of piles embedded up to 65 feet into the slope, is intended to stop erosion from working its way up the slope and endangering the overflow weir. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that kind of \"head-cutting\" erosion -- which the DWR and some outside experts \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11608745/oroville-dam-spillway-ferc-safety-review-2014-ruled-out-spillway-failure\">had earlier dismissed\u003c/a> as a serious possibility -- that dam managers feared could lead to an uncontrolled release of water and prompted the Feb. 12, 2017, evacuation orders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mellon said Wednesday that crews working for general contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West have needed to do more extensive excavation in the emergency spillway than first anticipated to reach rock sound enough to use as a foundation for the splashpad. The extra work to get down to competent rock, along with the need for additional material to build the splashpad, was a major factor in the increased costs, Mellon said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department says it continues to submit project expenditures to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which may reimburse up to 75 percent of the costs.

In January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11644652/new-cost-estimate-for-oroville-spillway-disaster-and-recovery-870-million\">DWR estimated \u003c/a>the project cost at $870 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department's original estimate for the cost of the February 2017 spillway failure and its aftermath -- a guess made before the rapid erosion of the emergency spillway prompted the evacuation of about 188,000 people from communities along the Feather River below the dam -- was between $100 million and $200 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said the estimated cost of construction has risen from $500 million to $630 million. The estimate for related cleanup work, including agency staff time and future cleanup and restoration of the massive job site, has risen from $210 million to $310 million. The rest of the price tag -- $160 million -- is for the initial emergency response and remains unchanged from earlier this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said during Wednesday's briefing that the $130 million in increased construction costs is due to the need for additional crews to help rebuild the main spillway by Nov. 1 and for work to limit erosion in the adjoining emergency spillway if it overflows again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To protect the emergency spillway -- a tree- and brush-covered hillside below a quarter-mile-long concrete weir -- engineers have devised a massive concrete splash pad and \"cutoff wall.\" Water would pour down the splash pad and down a long series of steps -- designed to dissipate the energy of flowing water -- before reaching the unpaved portion of the hillside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cutoff wall, consisting of piles embedded up to 65 feet into the slope, is intended to stop erosion from working its way up the slope and endangering the overflow weir. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that kind of \"head-cutting\" erosion -- which the DWR and some outside experts \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11608745/oroville-dam-spillway-ferc-safety-review-2014-ruled-out-spillway-failure\">had earlier dismissed\u003c/a> as a serious possibility -- that dam managers feared could lead to an uncontrolled release of water and prompted the Feb. 12, 2017, evacuation orders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mellon said Wednesday that crews working for general contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West have needed to do more extensive excavation in the emergency spillway than first anticipated to reach rock sound enough to use as a foundation for the splashpad. The extra work to get down to competent rock, along with the need for additional material to build the splashpad, was a major factor in the increased costs, Mellon said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department says it continues to submit project expenditures to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which may reimburse up to 75 percent of the costs.
