Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - July 13, 2010

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

REMARKABLE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE PRECISION - ALMOST SURGICAL SKILL THE MAUI FIRE DEPARTMENT EXERCISED IN KEEPING THE BRUSH FIRE IN HAPPY VALLEY FROM TURNING INTO A DISASTER. AS OF NOON TODAY, THE 24-ACRE FIRE IS STILL ONLY CONSIDERED 80 PERCENT CONTAINED - BUT IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA OF MOSTLY VINTAGE WOOD-CONSTRUCTED HOMES OCCUPIED BY AN AGING POPULATION, THE EFFORT IS WORTH ALL THE PRAISE THE MAUI FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS.

AND TODAY GOVERNOR LINGLE SENT A LETTER TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE TO SAY SHE CHANGED HER MIND - WITH GOOD CAUSE. THE LINGLE ADMINISTRATION HAD STRONGLY OPPOSED THE SO-CALLED AKAKA BILL BEFORE. HOWEVER, RECENT MODIFICATIONS TO THE PENDING LEGISLATURE MAKE THE PROPOSAL ONE THAT THE GOVERNOR NOT ONLY ACCEPTS - BUT FEELS WOULD BE A WELL-DESERVED HAND-UP TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS.

ISLAND WEATHER TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY AND BREEZY WITH A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS - LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AND BREEZY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S AND WINDS UP TO 35 MILES AN HOUR.
