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.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 19:\u003c/strong> Yosemite National Park officials announced today that the Tioga Road will open for the season this weekend. It’s a historically late opening — the latest since the park opened the route in July 1915 — after the snowiest winter on record. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yosemite ranger Steve Lyon said in an email that, following recent custom, the road will be opened to bicycles on Friday. That affords cyclists an opportunity to explore the sometimes narrow high-elevation road without having to deal with motor vehicles, which will get access at 8 a.m. Saturday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winter’s heavy snow damaged the road in several places, and park officials are advising drivers to be ready for stretches of one-way traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the buildings along the Tioga corridor were wrecked or seriously damaged. While vault and portable toilets will be ready, the park says that there will be no stores open and no food, water or fuel available along the road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/YosemiteNPS/status/1681742579917008896\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before this year, the latest seasonal closure recorded on the Tioga Road was 1917, when the road opened on July 19. In several other years up through the late 1930s, the road opened as late as July 15. After 1938, the road never opened later than July 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Update, 5:20 p.m. Thursday, July 13:\u003c/b> Yosemite National Park’s Tioga Road remains closed, with crews working to repair high-country facilities that suffered massive damage during the historic snows last winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish I had something good to tell you, but it’s a mess up there,” Steve Lyon, a park ranger, told KQED Thursday. He said virtually all of the structures along the Tioga corridor were affected, with 62% being seriously damaged or destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A ranger station at Tuolumne Meadows is being torn down because it was wrecked by heavy snow loads. Staff housing and other structures in the area also need repairs. The lack of housing for rangers and other staff is adding to the long-delayed road opening, which is within a few days of being the latest since the route first opened to motor vehicles in 1915.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The road itself is OK,” Lyon said. “But we can’t open it until we can have rangers up there patrolling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is some good news for those who are seeking access to areas near Tioga Pass but outside the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday afternoon, Caltrans opened Highway 120 between the town of Lee Vining and the national park gate at the pass’s 9,945-foot summit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While travelers still won’t be able to enter the park, the 12-mile stretch of highway through Lee Vining Canyon will now provide access to campgrounds and trails that have remained inaccessible while Caltrans worked to removed snow and rocks and to repair damage along the route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Caltrans9/status/1679623086705111041\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story, July 10:\u003c/strong> One of the rites of California’s late spring/early summer is the opening of the Tioga Road, the route across Yosemite’s high country and one treasured for its access to some of the national park’s best hiking and camping and its most memorable views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, it’s a rite long delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time the Tioga Road remained closed this late in the season was 1922, when the highway opened July 10. The only later openings occurred in 1917, on July 19, and in 1916 and 1921 — on July 15 both years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s long closure is the direct result of this winter’s historic snowfall, which not only buried the road in snow and ice but caused serious damage to parts of the 46-mile route and adjacent facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jump to: \u003ca href=\"#tiogapassopen\">How to travel to Yosemite avoiding the Tioga Pass\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s been talking about what a crazy, epic winter we’ve had and just the monumental task of getting that road open,” said Steve Lyon, a Yosemite National Park ranger, earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That work has involved months of plowing with tracked vehicles, bulldozers, rotary plows and other heavy equipment. As it does every year, it has also involved trying to clear the more than two dozen segments of the road that are prone to avalanches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.seattletimes.com/life/travel/blasting-winter-away-at-yosemites-high-country-tioga-road/\">The best known and perhaps most dangerous of those avalanche zones\u003c/a> is adjacent to Olmsted Point, a site famed for its spectacular views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyon said crews have cleared that section of road but that avalanche damage to one lane there will require traffic control regulated by temporary stoplights when the road opens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyon said part of the delay in lifting travel restrictions in the area is the need to assess and repair roadside restrooms, staff housing and other facilities damaged during the winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a fair number of buildings up there,” Lyon said. “Almost all of them have taken some damage, and some of them are just completely destroyed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of all the assessment and repair work, the park says it still cannot say when the road will open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11955250\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 3340px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11955250\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM.png\" alt=\"Bulldozers and snowplows clearing snow from mountain road.\" width=\"3340\" height=\"1874\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM.png 3340w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-800x449.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-1020x572.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-1536x862.png 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-2048x1149.png 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-07-at-6.10.34-PM-1920x1077.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3340px) 100vw, 3340px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a screenshot from a National Park Service video, a bulldozer and snowplow work to clear the Tioga Road, Yosemite National Park’s high-country route, on June 21, 2023. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Yosemite National Park)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Repair work is also continuing to the east of Tioga Pass along the road’s state-owned continuation, Highway 120. Caltrans crews finished clearing snow from that steep, winding section weeks ago and have been busy ever since removing boulders deposited on the roadway during the winter and restoring roadside berms that help contain rockfalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher Andriessen, spokesperson for Caltrans District 9, said in an email Friday that rock clearing continues in an area called Blue Slide, about midway along Highway 120 between the pass and the town of Lee Vining. Once that last piece of rock work is done, Andriessen said, crews will begin repairing and replacing guardrails damaged or destroyed over the winter. He said that job will take about five business days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although in the past Caltrans has worked with park officials to coordinate the opening of the road, so that the state and Yosemite sections all become accessible the same day, Andriessen said that won’t necessarily be the case this year.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Steve Lyon, Yosemite National Park ranger\"]‘Everyone’s been talking about what a crazy, epic winter we’ve had and just the monumental task of getting that road open.’[/pullquote]“We will open our gate once our preparations and repairs are complete, even if the park entrance remains closed,” he said. “This will give summer travelers access to campgrounds and lakes in the Inyo National Forest that are outside” the national park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of its elevation and the heavy snowfall along the route — generally, the higher you go in the Sierra, the more snow you get when storms blow in — the Tioga Road is often the first of California’s mountain highways closed every fall and the last to open once the mountains emerge from winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, officials shut down the road on Halloween in anticipation of the season’s first major snowfall. The closure came a little earlier than it has in most recent years, according to records kept by Yosemite National Park and the Mono Lake Committee, but was far from unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the winter came on in earnest, with two series of storms that were not only unusual but history-making, dropping record amounts of snow nearly the entire length of the Sierra. When the storms finally abated this spring, the country along the Tioga Road had received something like 240% of its average snowfall, leaving the route buried under a deeper layer of snow — and in some places ice, rocks and trees — than any living person has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The road was first developed in the early 1880s as a route for mining operations near Tioga Pass. It was acquired by the federal government in 1915 and opened to trans-Sierra travelers when it was little more than a one-lane dirt track.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"tiogapassopen\">\u003c/a>If you’re going to Yosemite National Park …\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>With the eastern entrance via the Tioga Road closed, the three routes into Yosemite National Park are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Highway 120/Big Oak Flat Road, via Manteca and Groveland: This is the most direct route from most of the Bay Area.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Highway 140, via Merced, Mariposa and El Portal.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Highway 41, via Fresno, Oakhurst and Wawona.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/driving.htm\">Driving directions to Yosemite National Park.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Delays\u003c/strong>: Note that the park has experienced very heavy traffic in recent weeks, especially on weekends.

He said that job will take about five business days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although in the past Caltrans has worked with park officials to coordinate the opening of the road, so that the state and Yosemite sections all become accessible the same day, Andriessen said that won’t necessarily be the case this year.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said she’s confident that the sprinkler system combined with previous prescribed burns is the best protection for the trees. “If we were to add the additional foil protection, that would actually create a baked potato effect on the tree, and so we’re not doing that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 1,600 people were evacuated, including a hotel, a campground and permanent residents. The Red Cross has set up a shelter in Mariposa, but Phillipe said most people who evacuated ended up not needing to go there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks coming into the park … just be aware that the air quality today is in the unhealthy range,” she said. “Our priorities remain: firefighters, public safety, the community of Wawona and the giant sequoias in the Mariposa Grove.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/YosemiteFire/status/1545975359341936641\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillipe also said there are crews and aerial resources, including tankers and helicopters. The fire was proving difficult to contain, with firefighters throwing “every tactic imaginable” at it, she said, adding that that included air drops of fire retardant as well as the planned use of bulldozers to create fire lines, a tactic that’s rarely used in a wilderness setting like Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulldozers would primarily be used to put in fire lines to protect Wawona, Phillipe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/savetheredwoods/status/1545471237324804097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though firefighters were facing hot and dry conditions, they didn’t have to contend with intense winds on Saturday, said Jeffrey Barlow, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hanford. Given the relatively small size of the fire and minimal winds, smoke impacts were not expected to stretch far beyond the park, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The giant sequoias, native in only about 70 groves spread along the western slope of California’s Sierra Nevada range, were once considered impervious to flames but have become increasingly vulnerable as wildfires fueled by a buildup of undergrowth from a century of fire suppression and drought exacerbated by climate change have become more intense and destructive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lightning-sparked wildfires over the past two years have killed up to a fifth of the estimated 75,000 large sequoias, which are the biggest trees by volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1545805007835959296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was no obvious natural spark for the fire that broke out Thursday next to the park’s Washburn Trail, Phillipe said. Smoke was reported by visitors walking in the grove that reopened in 2018 after a $40 million renovation that took three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire had grown from 700 acres on Saturday morning to 1,600 acres on Sunday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fierce windstorm ripped through the grove a year and a half ago and toppled 15 giant sequoias, along with countless other trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The downed trees, along with massive numbers of pines killed by bark beetles, provided ample fuel for the flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park has used prescribed burns to clear brush around the sequoias, which helps protect them if flames spread farther into the grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, most evacuation orders were lifted Saturday in the Sierra foothills about 80 miles to the northwest of the Washburn Fire, where another fire broke out on July 4. The Electra Fire, which began near Jackson, was mostly contained, and only areas directly within the fire’s perimeter remained under evacuation orders, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far in 2022, over 35,000 wildfires have burned nearly 4.7 million acres in the U.S., according to the National Interagency Fire Center, well above average for both number of wildfires and acres burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Evacuations and closures\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Wawona Road (Highway 41) south of Yosemite West, and the Mariposa Grove, are closed until further notice.

Horsetail Fall itself, a small waterfall that usually only flows during winter, needs to actually have water in it. It's this water that glows orange when it's lit from behind by the setting sun. The firefall also requires a clear sky, because any haze or cloudiness affects the quality of the illusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/visualdavid/status/1362471683567742976\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, the hoped-for firefall actually \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/travel/story/2020-02-13/yosemites-natural-firefall-may-not-glow-this-year\">failed to fully materialize\u003c/a> because of imperfect conditions. On Feb. 11, the National Park Service warned of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcra.com/article/firefall-yosemite-valley-horsetail-fall-no-water-flow/30882971#\">\"little to no water\"\u003c/a> in Horsetail Fall ahead of the projected 2021 firefall, although that particular alert is no longer visible on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/horsetailfall.htm\">Yosemite's firefall webpage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're thinking of trying your luck, keep your eye on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm\">park conditions on Yosemite's website\u003c/a> and watch the weather forecast. And if conditions \u003cem>aren't\u003c/em> perfect to see a Yosemite firefall this year, at least there's plenty of other natural wonders to witness in Yosemite National Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"#restrictions\">Yosemite's own restrictions within the park\u003c/a>, remember that the state of California's current COVID-19 travel recommendations ask that Californians \"\u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/travel/\">not travel more than 120 miles from their home\u003c/a> for non-essential purposes such as pleasure or recreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do travel, the state asks that you take appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions, including wearing a face covering, maintaining social distance of 6 feet from people who aren't in your household and frequent hand-washing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11861072\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1966px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11861072\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"1312\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2.jpg 1966w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1966px) 100vw, 1966px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yosemite's \"firefall\" in action this year \u003ccite>(Stacy Brand)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Making a Reservation for Yosemite Firefall 2021\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can make a Yosemite National Park day reservation for $35 per car (National Park pass holders only pay a $2 reservation fee) through \u003ca id=\"https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745|\" href=\"https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745\">Recreation.gov\u003c/a>.

Horsetail Fall itself, a small waterfall that usually only flows during winter, needs to actually have water in it. It's this water that glows orange when it's lit from behind by the setting sun. The firefall also requires a clear sky, because any haze or cloudiness affects the quality of the illusion.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
