Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. 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"},"carlysevern":{"type":"authors","id":"3243","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"3243","found":true},"name":"Carly Severn","firstName":"Carly","lastName":"Severn","slug":"carlysevern","email":"csevern@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Senior Editor, Audience News ","bio":"Carly is KQED's Senior Editor of Audience News on the Digital News team, and has reported for the California Report Magazine, Bay Curious and KQED Arts.

Information like parking, accessible bathrooms, distance of trail, elevation gains, available activities like birdwatching or picnicking — and whether there are barriers like steps on the trail — are often the things Lewkowicz feels get left out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the ADA-accessible trail information needs to be more clearly defined, with more details of all the accessible features. “Which is why I do the work that I do and try and help relieve that burden for people,” she said. Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz. Parks in Oregon and Florida also are loaning this type of adaptive equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953173\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11953173 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-800x632.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with lighter skin and gray hair wearing a purple sweater and blue jeans is seen sitting in a wheelchair with a background of trees.\" width=\"800\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-800x632.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bonnie Lewkowicz reviews a trail in Live Oak Park in Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Bonnie Lewkowicz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Accessibility means different things for different people, Lewkowicz says. For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there. Go with your peers,” she advised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Adventures from a wheelchair: ‘Being out on a nature trail is close to being home’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1996, Bay Area resident Mark Hehir started using a wheelchair and breathing on a ventilator due to a rare form of muscular dystrophy called rigid spine syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wanting to share his experiences wheelchair hiking at various parks and trails, Hehir started his \u003ca href=\"https://irishsea-mark-videos.blogspot.com/\">Adventures From a Wheelchair blog\u003c/a> in 2010. On his site, visitors can read reviews and watch videos of all the wheelchair-accessible places Hehir has visited. He’s also an ADA volunteer for Santa Clara County Parks and has worked with them since 2015 to improve access to their parks and hiking trails. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_5UNVOz8E\">See Hehir’s video of his favorite trails and parks in partnership with Santa Clara Open Space Preserve.\u003c/a>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Mark Hehir, Bay Area resident']‘When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away.’[/pullquote]For Hehir, using a wheelchair and being on a ventilator causes his muscles to easily get stressed, which can then affect his breathing — and he says that being in the outdoors is like medicine for him. “When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away,” said Hehir in an email to KQED. “Being out on a nature trail is close to being home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir says that accessible trails need to be maintained each year, but notes that not all hiking spots can be accessible, due to the terrain. He wishes to see more accessible trails getting extended, making them longer. “A problem is, many accessible trails are short, less than a mile,” he said. “You spend 40 minutes getting to a trail and it only takes 15 minutes to hike it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir advises all levels of hikers to check weather conditions before going out, to always bring water and to stay on the right side of the trail to avoid any accidents with cyclists.

Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz.

For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there.
