HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano resumed erupting on Tuesday, firing lava 330 feet (100 meters) into the sky from its summit crater.

It’s the 32nd time the volcano has released molten rock since December, when its current eruption began. So far, all the lava from this eruption has been contained within the summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Lava emerged from the north vent in Halemaumau Crater after midnight. The vent began shooting fountains of lava at 6:35 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. By mid-morning, it was also erupting from the crater’s south vent and a third vent in between.

Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. It’s located on Hawaii Island, the largest of the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south of the state’s largest city, Honolulu, which is on Oahu.

NDP will have to decide whether to make good on 2023 pledge or spend during election year

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read 1:12 PM CDT

The good news is the provincial deficit has been shrinking for the past two years. The bad news is the NDP government is still deep in the red.

The province released its public accounts Monday for the 2025-26 fiscal year. It shows the provincial deficit came in at $832 million last year, down from $1.12 billion the previous year and $1.95 billion in 2023-24.

The almost $2-billion shortfall was shared between the former Progressive Conservative government and the NDP, which took the reins of power about halfway through the 2023-24 fiscal year.

Premier Wab Kinew and Finance Minister Adrien Sala continued to insist Monday that the NDP inherited a $2-billion deficit from the Tories, which is not entirely accurate.

Jets goaltender collects victory in first start for new team

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Yesterday at 10:59 PM CDT

He received the loudest ovation on the team before the puck had even been dropped, with chants of “Stuuuuu” ringing out inside Canada Life Centre during pre-game introductions.

And he heard the love time and time again — with each and every save, in fact — as the evening progressed.

Yes, the Stuart Skinner era is off to a strong start, as the new No. 1 man in net for the Winnipeg Jets made a great first impression on Monday in front of an announced crowd of 13,363.

Skinner stopped 31 of 32 shots he faced in a 3-1 pre-season victory for the Jets over a very young, inexperienced Colorado Avalanche squad.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.
