Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 29, 2009

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

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE INDEX OF HAWAII'S ECONOMIC INDICATORS FELL AGAIN IN APRIL FOR THE 15TH CONSECUTIVE MONTH. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT WAS THE SMALLEST DECLINE IN NEARLY TWO YEARS. HAWAII'S INDEX FELL BY POINT-ONE-TWO PERCENT. THE AVERAGE U.S. DECLINE WAS POINT-FOUR PERCENT.

THERE HAVE BEEN NINE NEW CASES OF SWINE FLU CONFIRMED ON O'AHU - BRINGING THE STATE'S TOTAL TO 82 CASES. THESE AREN'T BRAND NEW CASES. ALL NINE HAVE RECOVERED, OR ARE RECOVERING AT HOME. BECAUSE OF THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IS GOING TO SWITCH TO WEEKLY SWINE FLU CASE UPDATES - WITH THE NEXT REPORT DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY.

AND MONDAY, JUNE FIRST STARTS HURRICANE SEASON IN THE CENTRAL PACIFIC. IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE, BUT MONDAY IS ALSO WHEN THE CIVIL DEFENSE SIRENS WILL BE TESTED.

ISLAND WEATHER, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS, SOME LOCALLY HEAVY. EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT IN THE MID 60S AND HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S - WITH LIGHT WINDS, HAZY AND MUGGY.

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