Pinart, traveled the Kodiak archipelago, assembling one of the world?s most
extensive collections of Alutiiq ceremonial masks, and brought them back to

1:30 pm Making Contact  - Food for Thought - How much does it cost to put
food on the table for your family these days?  Definitely more than last
year at this time.  And it¹s a sure bet that it¹ll be even higher next year.
The cost of producing food is skyrocketing and the basics are becoming out
of reach to average American households. Solutions for an oncoming food
crisis are needed locally, nationally and globally.    
On this edition, we take a look at sustainable farming practices. Urban
farms in the heart of San Francisco. The future of food production in a
skyscraper. And on the ground in a Portland, Maine food bank. Solutions
right in our backyards or just down the block.

9 a.m. Special: "Prisons In Crisis." We present a one-hour radio documentary
that highlights some of the major parts of the crisis and describes how it
started—how tough-on-crime legislation and the zero tolerance policies of
the 80's and 90's led to more convictions, longer sentences, and an
explosion in the prison population. California now has the highest prison
population and the highest recidivism rate in the country. Produced by Jo
Ann Mar

7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Jack's Last Call - Say Goodbye to Kerouac. (radio drama)
Directed by award winning dramatist Sue Zizza, takes place at the end of
August 1964 in Kerouac's Northpoint, Long Island living room, as he and his
mother pack to leave for St. Petersburg, Florida - the place where he would
finally end his many road journeys. On his last night in New York, Jack
thinks back to the America he saw, riding alongside Neal Cassidy as they
drove back and forth across the country. As the memories play through his
mind, Jack receives a series of soul searching phone calls from his
daughter, Jan, who is desperate to connect with the man she believes to be
her father. Scenes from Jack's Last Call were recorded on location at
Gunther's Tap Room in Northpoint, NY - one of Jack's favorite haunts.
Narrated by Len Cariou, it's an honest portrayal of, and an elegy to, the
man who wrote On the Road which helped shape a generation and a nation.
Also, featured will be selected Kerouac prose and poetry read by the author,
and KFCF programmers, along with jazz from the era and Kerouac inspired
beatnik music.

9:00 pm Joe Frank - The More I Know You - A girl falls in love with a
12-year-old boy-man with cracked glass marble eyes. A dashing Italian
anesthesiologist falls prey to road rage. The pain of realizing that a lover
is lying, cheating, and conniving ("I know you could get lots of women to
marry you three weeks after their first exposure to you, but I challenge you
to get a woman to marry you a year after being exposed to you"). An ugly
scene on the street between parting lovers. A mistletoe seductress. A sexual
encounter gone awry. A commentary on improper tooth brushing.
