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

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

HATS OFF TODAY TO RESCUERS IN TWO VERY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THIS WEEK - BOTH OF THEM SUCCESSFUL. ON TUESDAY NIGHT MAUI FIREFIGHTERS RESCUED A NEW JERSEY FAMILY AFTER THEY GOT STRANDED BY RAPIDLY RISING WATERS NEAR THE SWINGING BRIDGES AREA OF WAIHE'E. FIRST RESPONDERS USING ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES AND THE AIR ONE CHOPPER SAFELY MOVED THE FAMILY OF FOUR TO HIGHER, DRIER GROUND - BEFORE RETURNING AND SAFELY MOVING ANOTHER FAMILY OF FOUR - FROM THE SAME AREA. HEAVY RAINS FAR UPSTREAM HAD MADE THE FOOT BRIDGES IMPASSABLE.

THE OTHER RESCUE HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. OFF THE NORTH SHORE OF O'AHU NEAR HALEIWA. A TEAM OF NOAA USED A SET OF SPECIALLY DESIGNED TOOLS TO CUT FREE A 30-FOOT HUMPBACK WHALE FROM FISHING LINE THAT - HAS THEY NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL - LIKELY WOULD HAVE DROWNED THE YEARLING WHALE.

ISLAND WEATHER, PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S. TOMORROW - MOSTLY SUNNY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

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