Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - August 17, 2010

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

THEY'RE BACK. THE ANNUAL SWARM OF YELLOW JACKETS HAS BEGUN TO BUILD AT HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK. THE SPECIES WAS INTRODUCED TO MAUI IN THE EARLY 70S AND - UNLIKE HONEYBEES THAT STING ONCE AND DIE - YELLOW JACKETS CAN STING REPEATEDLY. THEY'VE BEEN REPORTED IN INCREASING NUMBERS AT THE BASE OF SLIDING SANDS TRAIL NEAR THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNTAIN AS WELL AS OTHER PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CONGREGATE AT LOWER ELEVATIONS.

THAT AWFUL SMELL IN LAHAINA LAST NIGHT WAS A WASTEWATER OVERFLOW NEAR PAUNAU ROAD AND LAHAINALUNA ROAD. DEBRIS AND RAGS IN THE STORM DRAIN CLOGGED THE FLOW AND ABOUT 12 HUNDRED GALLONS OF SEWAGE SPILLED. NONE OF THE MATERIAL MADE IT TO THE OCEAN. THE SPILL WAS CLEANED UP AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WAS NOTIFIED.

AND MARK YOUR CALENDAR - THIS FRIDAY STATE AND COUNTY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED IN OBSERVANCE OF ADMISSIONS DAY - MARKING THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF STATEHOOD IN HAWAII.

ISLAND WEATHER - BREEZY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. LOOK FOR LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW MOST SUNNY - WINDY AGAIN AND HIGHS NEAR 90.
