In P?hoa, the new finger of lava continues to move downhill at a rate of around 250 yards a day.  Wet conditions have reduced smoke pollution and the risk of brushfires started by the lava.

The flow is now within a mile of Highway 130 and the P?hoa marketplace.  Malama market has announced that they will close their store next week. Malama Gas N Go has also announced its closure this evening at 6pm. Aloha Petroleum will take the appropriate steps to remove the fuel from the underground storage tanks and remove equipment from the station in the next three days.  Darrel Oliveria is the director of the Hawaii County Civil Defense.

The lava flow is not stopping tomorrows scheduled opening of the Pahoa transfer station to the public. Visitors will be able to view the cooled lava that breached the property fence.  The station will be opened daily from 8am to 6pm in the evening. 

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
