N>   You may have noticed that Lloyd Carter is in the news lately. Lloyd
will break his silence on the controversy Friday, Feb 13th  at 3 PM on KFCF
88.1 FM.
"To all my friends and all my critics, I am going to address my
controversial comments about farmworkers and the resulting witch hunt on my
radio show this Friday at 3 p.m., KFCF, 88.1 FM. If you are unable to listen
at that time, or are out of range of the radio station signal, the show will
later be posted on this website and at H2opodcast.com .    
I haven't yet had a chance to defend myself, thanks to the hatchet job by
the Hydraulic Brotherhood. -- Lloyd"

KFCF Wish list

Digtal Console

KFCF is getting ready to install a new audio board in our studio, and we
need a countertop for the board. We need something that's about 40" by 2 "
by 33". If you have something that would look nice, or know someone who will
sell countertop surfaces that small (most dealers say a minimum of 25 square
feet) let us know at rwithers at kfcf.org or by calling (559)233-2221. This
surface will have to support equipment and will need to be suitable for
writing.

The 12th annual Homelessness Marathon will air on KFCF on Monday, Feb 23rd
from 4 PM until 6 AM the next morning. The 12th Annual Homelessness Marathon
will originate from Pass Christian, Mississippi. The broadcast will start at
6 p.m., central time, on Monday, February 23rd and end at 8 a.m., central
time, on Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Pass Christian is next door to
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveland%2C_Mississippi> Waveland, MS, which
the  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers>
Army Corps of Engineers officially designates as the "
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_zero> Ground Zero," where
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina> Hurricane Katrina came
ashore. We call it the "other" Ground Zero, because it's the one that didn't
get the attention (or the multi-trillion dollar response) that was given to
the Ground Zero in  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City> New York.

Pass Christian was less affected than Waveland, losing a mere 100% of its
public buildings, 100% of its businesses and 80% of its homes. Though the
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Coast_of_the_United_States> Gulf Coast is
probably only about 20% rebuilt and there is a drastic shortage of
affordable housing, the state and Federal governments will soon remove the
remaining temporary trailers and cottages. Thousands of desperately poor
elderly and disabled people and single parent families with young children
are about to be thrown on the streets with nowhere to go.
