"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

On top of that, due to unemployment and lack of access, food insecurity is impacting communities across the United States and is expected to continue into the rest of the year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.feedingamerica.org/sites/default/files/2020-05/Brief_Local%20Impact_5.19.2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Feeding America\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, one community has maintained a low case rate and hopes to continue the trend with a creative solution to achieve food security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Annie Fresquez, director of visitor experience at TomKat Ranch\"]‘We wanted to help so we jumped in to connect our farmers and builders and community members with a project that would create food security — while bringing people together.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food accessibility can be especially hard for people living in Año Nuevo, a small town about a 40-minute drive from Half Moon Bay. The local supermarkets are at least 30 minutes away. Some in the community struggled with the rising cost of food — especially meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After California shelter-in-place orders came into effect in March, a ranch in the coastal town of Pescadero, 15 miles from Año Nuevo, partnered with a nonprofit to support the community by providing ongoing food donations. At the beginning, \u003ca href=\"https://tomkatranch.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TomKat Ranch\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mypuente.org/\">Puente de la Costa Sur\u003c/a> gave a weekly donation of meat, but they soon found that other staples like eggs and milk were in short supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was increasing food insecurity in our community,” said Annie Fresquez who serves as the director of visitor experience at TomKat Ranch. “We wanted to help so we jumped in to connect our farmers and builders and community members with a project that would create food security — while bringing people together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832092\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 555px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11832092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3.jpg 555w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">TomKat Ranch and Puente de la Costa Sur partnered to experiment with a program providing 15 chicken coops to families in the South Coast community in an effort to ensure food security. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Puente )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alas, the “Mini Coop Project” was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collaboration provided 15 at-risk families in the Pescadero community with tools, training and materials to raise and care for a small flock of four to six egg-laying chickens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the only organization of our kind on the South Coast,” said Puente Executive Director Rita Mancera. “We serve a community that is very big geographically — 160 square miles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community consists of mostly unincorporated towns near the coast, such as La Honda, Loma Mar, Pescadero and San Gregorio. Mancera said the bulk of their work is an effort “to create [a] more equitable future for farmworkers and their families.” She said many are hard-working and often earning \u003ca href=\"http://nfwm.org/farm-workers/farm-worker-issues/low-wages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">minimum wage.\u003c/a> Still, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Overtime-for-Agricultural-Workers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overtime\u003c/a> for farmworkers in California was not granted until 2016, and despite the law, is not always enforced. “Our work has been guided by an equity lens before it was the work that everybody was doing,” Mancera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before it became a health issue for our community, it was an economic issue,” Mancera said. “People were stressed out in March and April — not knowing how they were going to support their families. … How they were going to pay rent or how they weren’t going to cover certain bills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832093\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 670px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11832093\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat.jpg 670w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dede Boies at TomKat Ranch bonds with one of the ranch chickens. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of TomKat Ranch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As Fresquez wrote in the initial proposal, the project is an effort to address food shortages “by empowering families to produce eggs at home using ecologically friendly and economically efficient production practices.” Each mini coop also comes with instructions in English and Spanish, so families can assemble it together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people who’s benefited from this program is Antonio Reyes, a Mexican-born Año Nuevo resident who works for \u003ca href=\"http://www.foglinefarm.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fogline Farm\u003c/a>, an organic poultry farm. When his wife lost her job as a housekeeper at the beginning of the pandemic, the family’s financial responsibilities rested on his shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We struggled since most of my salary would be spent on rent,” Reyes said. His wife has been back to work for around a month now and they received assistance for two months of rent from Puente — but he said there are still many expenses piling up, including food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832094\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11832094\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kits for chicken coops are prepared and ready for pick-up at Puente in Pescadero. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Puente)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While the family visited food banks in their town, he signed up to be part of the the Mini Coop Project as soon as he heard of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe it is a good investment,” Reyes said. “It will be something that we will take advantage of every day once the chicken is ready to produce eggs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks after Reyes applied to the program, Puente gave him four chickens, including food and a house for them. He’ll have his own fresh eggs in about three months when the chickens are mature and ready to lay their first eggs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing eggs, Reyes appreciates that he can make sure that his chickens are being fed properly.

The local supermarkets are at least 30 minutes away. Some in the community struggled with the rising cost of food — especially meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After California shelter-in-place orders came into effect in March, a ranch in the coastal town of Pescadero, 15 miles from Año Nuevo, partnered with a nonprofit to support the community by providing ongoing food donations. At the beginning, \u003ca href=\"https://tomkatranch.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TomKat Ranch\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mypuente.org/\">Puente de la Costa Sur\u003c/a> gave a weekly donation of meat, but they soon found that other staples like eggs and milk were in short supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was increasing food insecurity in our community,” said Annie Fresquez who serves as the director of visitor experience at TomKat Ranch. “We wanted to help so we jumped in to connect our farmers and builders and community members with a project that would create food security — while bringing people together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832092\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 555px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11832092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3.jpg 555w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_chicken-coop-3-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">TomKat Ranch and Puente de la Costa Sur partnered to experiment with a program providing 15 chicken coops to families in the South Coast community in an effort to ensure food security. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Puente )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alas, the “Mini Coop Project” was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collaboration provided 15 at-risk families in the Pescadero community with tools, training and materials to raise and care for a small flock of four to six egg-laying chickens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the only organization of our kind on the South Coast,” said Puente Executive Director Rita Mancera. “We serve a community that is very big geographically — 160 square miles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community consists of mostly unincorporated towns near the coast, such as La Honda, Loma Mar, Pescadero and San Gregorio. Mancera said the bulk of their work is an effort “to create [a] more equitable future for farmworkers and their families.” She said many are hard-working and often earning \u003ca href=\"http://nfwm.org/farm-workers/farm-worker-issues/low-wages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">minimum wage.\u003c/a> Still, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Overtime-for-Agricultural-Workers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overtime\u003c/a> for farmworkers in California was not granted until 2016, and despite the law, is not always enforced. “Our work has been guided by an equity lens before it was the work that everybody was doing,” Mancera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before it became a health issue for our community, it was an economic issue,” Mancera said. “People were stressed out in March and April — not knowing how they were going to support their families. … How they were going to pay rent or how they weren’t going to cover certain bills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832093\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 670px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11832093\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat.jpg 670w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_Dede_TomKat-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dede Boies at TomKat Ranch bonds with one of the ranch chickens. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of TomKat Ranch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As Fresquez wrote in the initial proposal, the project is an effort to address food shortages “by empowering families to produce eggs at home using ecologically friendly and economically efficient production practices.” Each mini coop also comes with instructions in English and Spanish, so families can assemble it together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people who’s benefited from this program is Antonio Reyes, a Mexican-born Año Nuevo resident who works for \u003ca href=\"http://www.foglinefarm.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fogline Farm\u003c/a>, an organic poultry farm. When his wife lost her job as a housekeeper at the beginning of the pandemic, the family’s financial responsibilities rested on his shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We struggled since most of my salary would be spent on rent,” Reyes said. His wife has been back to work for around a month now and they received assistance for two months of rent from Puente — but he said there are still many expenses piling up, including food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832094\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11832094\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/chicken-coop-kits.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kits for chicken coops are prepared and ready for pick-up at Puente in Pescadero. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Puente)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While the family visited food banks in their town, he signed up to be part of the the Mini Coop Project as soon as he heard of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe it is a good investment,” Reyes said. “It will be something that we will take advantage of every day once the chicken is ready to produce eggs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks after Reyes applied to the program, Puente gave him four chickens, including food and a house for them.

Scarlett said past disasters have shown people sometimes delay making decisions for themselves because they don’t know what will happen to their pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about that now.

Ever since, I’ve been on an unplanned digital detox. I’ve learned that there are things other than Spotify’s \u003cem>Your Top Songs 2019\u003c/em> that are interesting to listen to while walking around. Among them: the different bird calls that vary from place to place. It all kind of happened by accident, but yep, I’m a birder now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What amazed and humbled me about bird-watching was the way it changed the granularity of my perception, which had been pretty ‘low-res,’” writes \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/600671/how-to-do-nothing-by-jenny-odell/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“How To Do Nothing”\u003c/a> author Jenny Odell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t say that I’m experiencing “high-def” perception quite yet, but I’m hoping to get there someday.

And if you’re really not having any luck, try pishing – making noises that small, curious birds will come out to investigate.

This mistreatment nearly wiped coyotes out from the Bay Area completely. But in 2002, something amazing happened: a coyote was spotted walking in San Francisco’s Presidio.

Since then, coyotes have been busy repopulating San Francisco’s urban parks — places like the Presidio, Glen Canyon and Golden Gate Park. Each one of these “territories” has a coyote family living in it — or at least a coyote passing through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfanimalcare.org/\">San Francisco Animal Care and Control\u003c/a>, the total number of coyotes living in San Francisco is estimated to be dozens. The reason this number isn’t more specific is because there hasn’t been a rigorous tracking program for coyotes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kessler says that over the 13 years she’s been studying them, the coyote population in San Francisco (at least within the areas she has studied) has basically remained the same.

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to make California a “no kill” state for shelter animals — and experts say a new budget proposal has the teeth to save the thousands of animals euthanized in the state every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has had a policy for 20 years that it’s the preference of the state that no healthy, treatable animal be euthanized. So that part is not new,” said Dr. Kate Hurley, director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis. “But what is new and just incredible is the governor investing state funds to make that a reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sheltermedicine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Koret Program\u003c/a> has been working on animal welfare issues for almost two decades. In presenting his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795344/newsom-zeroes-in-on-education-gaps-homelessness-and-wildfires-in-state-budget\">new state budget proposal\u003c/a> on Friday, Newsom said he wants a one-time $50 million general fund allocation to help Koret develop a grant program for animal shelters statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1215781229804417024\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley said an estimated 100,000 animals are euthanized each year in California. But, she said, since the state committed to becoming “no kill,” there has been a considerable drop in euthanizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 1998, it was estimated that more than half a million animals were euthanized.
