Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - December 28, 2009

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

IT'S GOOD NEWS - BUT NOT QUITE THE BEST NEWS. TODAY THE HAWAII STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AND THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION AGREED TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF FURLOUGH FRIDAYS BY SEVEN IN THE REMAINING SCHOOL YEAR. UNDER THE DEAL TEACHERS WILL GIVE UP TWO PLANNING DAYS AND 35 MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE PULLED FROM THE STATE'S RAINY DAY FUND TO PAY FOR FIVE MORE FULLY-STAFFED FRIDAYS.

MARINE BIOLOGISTS SAY THAT HUMPBACK WHALE THAT WAS CUT FREE FROM ROPES AND DEBRIS - INCLUDING A BOAT ANCHOR - ON CHRISTMAS DAY - IS VERY LIKELY TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. ON FRIDAY A CREW WAS ABLE TO CUT OFF ABOUT 70 FEET OF ROPE - WITH AN ANCHOR ATTACHED - NEAR LAUNIOPOKO BEACH PARK OFF WEST MAUI.

ISLAND WEATHER, STILL SOME BIG SURF ON NORTH AND WEST SHORES WITH A HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. TONIGHT, HAZY WITH LOWS AROUND 60. TOMORROW- HAZY SUNSHINE AND HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. LIGHT TRADEWINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TOMORROW.
