52-year-old Massachusetts hiker rescued from New Hampshire mountain
According to NH Fish and Game on Friday March 21st around 8:45 a.m., officers were made aware of a hiker in distress off the Twinway Trail between Mount Guyot and South Twin Mountain.
The hiker was able to text 911 from his phopne reporting that he had lost the trail and was in deep snow without snowshoes and that his phone was dying.
The hiker was able to set up a shelter but would need navigational assistance to find the trail. The hiker was located in a remote section of the Pemi Wilderness and it was determined the best access would be from Gale River Road in Bethlehem, even though it would be a 6.5 mile hike. As Conservation Officers and volunteers from Pemi Valley Search and Rescue Team responded to the area, a call was made to the NH Army National Guard to see if they would be able to transport rescuers closer to the area or locate the hiker and fly him off the mountain.
Two Conservation Officers and two Pemi SAR volunteers started off from Gale River Road and by 1:00 p.m. the NH Army National Guard was able to fly to Cannon Mountain Ski area where they staged hoping for the clouds to lift.
Around 4 p.m. the NH Army National Guard returned to Concord as the weather had not improved above 3000 feet. At 5:20 p.m. the first rescuers arrived with the hiker who was located a short distance south of the Twinway Trail. His gear was packed and he was provided with snowshoes.
There the hiker was identified as 52-year-old Gary Sullivan of Acton, Massachusetts.
Sullivan was prepared for a two-day excursion and had a tent, sleeping bag, extra clothing, traction devices, food, water, the ten essentials, and even a Hike Safe card. The only item he lacked that would have proven helpful was a pair of snowshoes.
Sullivan was extremely grateful for the assistance provided and for the attempt by the NH Army National Guard.

Stunning Oceanfront Greek Restaurant Studio Opens This Fall at the Montage Laguna Beach
is the Lead Editor of the Southern California/Southwest region, and has covered dining, restaurants, food culture, and nightlife in Los Angeles since 2008. One of Southern California's most striking coastal restaurant spaces is returning after a multi-year hiatus as Studio Mediterranean, located inside the upscale Montage resort. Chef Dennis Efthymiou, a Greek native who trained in Athens as well as the U.K.'s three-Michelin-starred the Fat Duck, Central in Lima, and Luce in San Francisco, has come on board to lead the kitchen serving a high-end Greek seafood menu with fish flown in fresh from around the world and locally sourced produce. The restaurant became available to hotel guests on June 26, but will open to the public beginning October 10. Expect Studio Mediterranean to serve spreads with house-baked pita, keftedes (beef and pork meatballs) with smoked tzatziki, charred octopus with saganaki sauce, and tableside tossed Greek salad. Whole seafood like Greek branzino, Spanish Dover sole, Maine lobster, dorade, and rainbow trout comes deboned, grilled, and dressed simply with lemon, olive oil, and sea salt (priced between $52 and $88 per pound). There's salt-baked branzino in a coffee-salt crust for $165 while rarefied Spanish carabinero prawns are $95 apiece. More inventive fish dishes include black cod with turmeric butter or grilled steelhead with dill-butter sauce. Roasted chicken, bone-in rib-eye for two, and grilled lamb chops round out the proteins, while sides include lemon-roasted potatoes, charred broccoli, and Rancho Gordo gigante beans. To finish, a baklava ice cream sundae comes laced with honey in a copper pan while a medjool date tart gets a drizzle of chocolate, olive oil, caramel, and crème fraiche. Sommelier Gary Sullivan will continue Studio's lauded wine program, one that Virbila held in high regard, while cocktails such as the Odyssey will feature Ouzo 12 with kumquat-cello and elderflower ice. The interior gets a sleek upgrade from its somewhat stodgier look from before, with patterns carpets giving way to ecru stone tiling, off-white seating, and dainty potted olive trees. The wide windows afford glorious views of the Pacific, amplified further with long sunsets and crashing waves. It's giving HBO's The White Lotus in Mykonos, Santorini, or (a fictional season if the series ever reaches that many); for those of us living in Southern California, it's certainly a welcome retreat from urban hustle. Studio Mediterranean is currently open to hotel guests of the Montage Laguna Beach and will open to the public on October 10, 2025. It's open Wednesday to Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is located at 30801 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651. Lounge seating outside Studio Mediterranean. The view from the patio.

National Weather Service in Wisconsin focuses on 10 areas where tornadoes may have occurred
The National Weather Service will assess at least 10 areas across central Wisconsin that presented a rotation on the radar on July 16, with at least two believed tornado touch downs in Sauk and Dodge counties. A tornado watch for the Milwaukee area expired at 7 p.m. Milwaukee, Dane, Ozaukee, Waukesha, Kenosha and Racine were among more than 30 Wisconsin counties under a tornado watch Wednesday afternoon and evening. The areas under a watch extended as far north as Green Bay. Meanwhile, some parts of central Wisconsin were under a more serious tornado warning. Western Fond du Lac County and southeastern Dodge County were under a tornado warning until 4 p.m. after a tornado was spotted 3 miles south of Waupun. North central Columbia County and Marquette County was under a tornado warning until 3:45 p.m. Parts of Columbia, Sauk, Fond du Lac counties were under a tornado warning until 3:30 p.m., as a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was spotted near Lake Wisconsin. So far, the only other tornado touch down was at 1:12 p.m. over Mazomanie in Dane County, or near Sauk City, according to NWS. That storm has since weakened, but Dane, Rock, Green and Jefferson counties were all under tornado warnings Wednesday afternoon as a result. The warning on Dane County lifted at 2:30 p.m. The NWS will typically make an official determination on tornadoes and assess the damage the next day, but the Milwaukee office in Sullivan said it is focused on 10 areas of potential tornadic activity. The storms didn't impact the Milwaukee area that strongly, although rain will linger. But the forecast resulted in some cancellations, including the Waukesha County Fair canceling truck and tractor pulls and the Milwaukee Night Market canceling festivities. A watch does not mean a tornado has developed. It is issued when the environment is capable of producing tornadoes, so the NWS recommends having a plan in place in the event a tornado forms. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast for the Milwaukee area Wednesday afternoon and evening. In the case a tornado does develop, here are some safety tips from NWS: How to stay safe during a tornado During a tornado, the NWS recommends: Get as low as possible. A basement below ground level or the lowest floor of a building offers the greatest safety. Put as many walls between yourself and the outside as possible. Avoid windows. What should you do if you're driving during a tornado warning? If you're driving, particularly on interstates or highways, do not try to outrun a tornado. If you are driving in an area with a tornado warning, you should look for ways to safely get off the road and out of your vehicle, preferably by seeking refuge in a sturdy building. As a last resort, lie flat in the nearest depression, ditch or culvert and cover your head with your arms.
