FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS. LOCALS CALL THEM 'MANU OPALA,' TRASH BIRDS - THE PLASTIC BAGS THAT CLING TO TREES, GET BLOWN INTO THE OCEAN, AND TAKE ALMOST FOREVER TO DISINTEGRATE. THE NEXT STEP IN A BID TO RID MAUI'S FUTURE OF NON-BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC BAGS IS COMING UP TOMORROW. THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE OF THE MAUI COUNTY COUNCIL WILL LISTEN TO EXPERT TESTIMONY AS THEY CONSIDER NEW LAWS TO PHASE OUT THE USE OF PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. A FORMER FLORIDA TEACHER WAS SENTENCED TO A FIVE-YEAR PRISON TERM FOR MOLESTING AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY WHILE THEY WERE BOTH VACATIONING ON MAUI FOUR YEARS AGO. 50-YEAR-OLD BARRY SILVER HAD NO PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORD BUT 2ND CIRCUIT JUDGE JOSEPH CARDOZA SAID HE HAD TO CONSIDER OTHER FACTORS, INCLUDING PROTECTING THE PUBLIC, PROVIDING FAIR PUNISHMENT AND DETERRING CRIMINAL CONDUCT.
