Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - February 8, 2010

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

IF YOU LIVE IN NORTH KIHEI - WHEN YOU GET HOME TONIGHT YOUR TRASH WILL STILL BE THERE. BETWEEN HALE PI'ILANI AND OHUKAI STREET, TRASH WASN'T PICKED UP THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. IT WILL BE PICKED UP TOMORROW MORNING.

YOU'VE SEEN THE CENSUS COMMERCIALS ON TV - IN HAWAI'I, CENSUS OFFICIALS SAY THEY'RE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING ACCURATE DATA THIS YEAR. WHY? THE LAST CENSUS IN 2000 RECEIVED SUCH LOW PARTICIPATION THAT OFFICIALS ESTIMATE HAWAII LOST OUT ON ABOUT 310 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF FEDERAL FUNDING OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS.

AND FIVE MAUI MEN ARE LUCKY - BUT STILL UNSURE WHAT CAUSED THEIR 27 FOOT BOAT TO SINK ON THEIR WAY BACK FROM WHALE WATCHING ON THE BACK SIDE OF LANA'I. THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WITHIN 100 YARDS OF SHORE OFF OLOWALU AND HAD TO SWIM THE REST OF THE WAY LATE YESTERDAY.

ISLAND WEATHER, CLEAR, BREEZY AND COOL TONIGHT WITH LOWS AROUND 60. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S.

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