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

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

IT'S ANOTHER GOOD NEWS - BAD NEWS SCENARIO FOR UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS JUST RELEASED FOR HAWAII IN MAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS FOR THE STATE HAWAII. THE 7-POINT-FOUR PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE COMPARED FAVORABLY TO THE NATIONAL RATE OF NINE-POINT-SIX PERCENT. THE BAD NEWS WAS FOR MAUI COUNTY - WHOSE RATE NEARLY TRIPLED FROM A YEAR AGO, TO NINE-POINT-TWO PERCENT. ON LANA'I AND MOLOKA'I, IT WAS EVEN WORSE - WITH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AT 11-POINT-FIVE AND 13-POINT-SIX, RESPECTIVELY.

THERE'S A HIGH WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 TONIGHT FOR THE SUMMIT OF HALEAKALA - BUT TOMORROW AND SUNDAY, WHEN BREEZES ARE LIGHTER, YOU CAN GET IN TO THE PARK FREE. THIS IS ONE OF THREE FEE-FREE WEEKENDS THIS SUMMER AT HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK.

AND HIGH WINDS ARE BEING BLAMED FOR A BRUSH FIRE AT THE MAUI LANI SUBDIVISION YESTERDAY. THE FIRE WAS QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED - BUT CAUSED SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES IN WAILUKU.

ISLAND WEATHER…..HOT. TONIGHT PARTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS. LOWS AROUND 70. TOMORROW, TRADEWINDS UP TO 25 MILES AN HOUR AND HIGHS NEAR 90.
