Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 29, 2008

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

THE SHUTDOWN OF ALOHA AIRLINES CARGO DIVISION HAS LEFT A NUMBER OF ISLAND COMPANIES SCRAMBLING FOR A WAY TO GET THEIR GOODS BETWEEN ISLANDS. ALOHA HANDLED 85-PERCENT OF INTERISLAND CARGO IN THE STATE, TRANSPORTING EVERYTHING FROM FLOWERS TO MAIL. POSTAL OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAD A BACKUP PLAN TO GET THE MAIL OUT. SOME BUSINESSES WILL USE HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, WHILE SMALL PRODUCE SUPPLIERS SAY THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERING HAWAII SUPERFERRY. INCOMING CEO TOM FARGO SAYS SUPERFERRY WILL DO WHATEVER IT CAN TO AID THE INTER-ISLAND CARGO CRISIS.

NOT MUCH SUNSHINE OF LATE - BUT AT LEAST THERE MAY BE SHOWERS LATER TODAY. DESPITE SOME RAIN THIS MONTH, MAUI RESIDENTS ARE BEING REMINDED THAT A VOLUNTARY 10 PERCENT WATER RESTRICTION REMAINS IN PLACE FOR CENTRAL MAUI.

ISLAND WEATHER…..THERE'S A HIGH SURF ADVISORY THROUGH THURSDAY FOR SOUTH-FACING SHORES. TONIGHT, ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S. SCATTERED SHOWERS TOMORROW WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.

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