Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - January 20, 2010

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

THERE'S SAD NEW PROOF THAT SWINE FLU IS STILL VERY MUCH A THREAT TO LIFE AND HEALTH IN HAWAII. TODAY THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THAT TWO O'AHU RESIDENTS DIED FROM COMPLICATIONS FROM THE H-1-N-1 STRAIN OF FLU. A WOMAN IN HER 30S DIED IN LATE DECEMBER AND A MAN IN HIS 50S DIED JUST LAST WEEK. THE H-1-N-1 VACCINE IS NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL HAWAII RESIDENTS WHO WANT IT.

AND THE ALAKAI IS BACK IN BUSINESS - BUT NOT HERE. TODAY THE FORMER HAWAII SUPERFERRY JOINED HER SISTER, THE HUAKAI, AND BOTH ARE HEADED TO HAITI FOR RELIEF EFFORTS. BECAUSE BOTH VESSELS CAN CARRY UP TO 800 PEOPLE AND 200 VEHICLES - AND CAN TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE OPEN OCEAN, THEY WERE CONSIDERED IDEAL FOR MOVING PEOPLE AND SUPPLIES BETWEEN HAITI AND FLORIDA.

ISLAND WEATHER, BEAUTIFUL - BUT WINDY. TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH LOWS IN THE 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S.
