Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - November 19, 2009

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

TODAY IS THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT. HAWAI'I RANKS FIFTH IN THE NATION IN THE FEWEST SMOKERS PER CAPITA. EACH YEAR 1,000 HAWAII RESIDENTS DIE FROM TOBACCO USE - WHICH REMAINS THE SINGLE LARGEST PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICA. IN THE ALOHA STATE, THE MOST SMOKERS PER CAPITA ARE ON THE BIG ISLAND AT 18.9 PERCENT. MAUI IS NEXT AT 16.5 PERCENT. HONOLULU HAS 14.8 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION LIGHTING UP AND KAUA'I 13.1 PERCENT.

A MAUI MAN ACCUSED OF SPYING FOR CHINA AND TRYING TO SELL B-2 STEALTH BOMBER SECRETS IS HEADING TO FEDERAL COURT FOR A COMPETENCY HEARING. FORMER HAIKU RESIDENT NOSHIR GOWADIA PLED NOT GUILTY TO 21 COUNTS OF CONSPIRACY WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED IN 2005. HE HAS BEEN HELD WITHOUT BAIL EVER SINCE.

ISLAND WEATHER, PRETTY CLOSE TO PERFECT. LOOK FOR PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS TONIGHT AND LOWS IN THE 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.

AND LOOK FOR AN ALL-NEW EDITION OF MAUI TV NEWS LATER TONIGHT AT MAUITVNEWS-DOT-COM.
