Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - October 1, 2009

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

GOING UP. TODAY MAUI ELECTRIC COMPANY ANNOUNCED THEY ARE SEEKING A 9-POINT-SEVEN PERCENT RATE HIKE FOR 2010. THEY SAY THEY NEED THE MONEY FOR CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS AND TO COVER INCREASED OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. ANY HIKE IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, AND WOULD NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL SOMETIME NEXT YEAR.

A 20 YEAR-OLD WAIHE'E MAN IS DEAD AFTER A SINGLE CAR CRASH LAST NIGHT ON THE KAHEKILI HIGHWAY IN WAIHE'E. POLICE SAY NAILIMA KANA WAS SPEEDING WHEN HIS 2004 MAZDA LEFT THE RAOD, OVERTURNED AND HIT A TREE. HIS TWO PASSENGERS ARE IN MAUI MEMORIAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

AND WITH THE DISASTERS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, THE TIMING AND JANGLING OF NERVES COULDN'T BE WORSE. BUT TODAY, THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, THE TESTING OF EMERGENCY SIRENS ACCIDENTALLY WENT OFF AN HOUR EARLY. THE SIRENS WERE RE-TESTED AT THEIR REGULAR 11:45 TIME AS WELL.

ISLAND WEATHER…..PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT AND ISOLATED SHOWERS - LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY LIGHT TRADES AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S.
