Missing bicyclist found safe at shutdown Sierra Nevada resort

A bicyclist who went missing on a solo camping trip was found safe Wednesday at a remote Sierra Nevada resort, almost three weeks after she was last seen.

Tiffany Slaton, 27, was discovered by Christopher Gutierrez, the owner of Vermilion Valley Resort, who was checking on the property while it was closed for the season, the Fresno County sheriff’s office said.

Slaton was in a cabin that Gutierrez said he had left unlocked for that very reason, to provide shelter to backcountry travelers.

Aware of the search for the woman, Gutierrez called the sheriff’s office, and medics arrived to take her to a hospital. It was determined she was dehydrated, but otherwise in good condition, the sheriff’s office said.

A photo released by the sheriff’s office showed her smiling broadly and giving a double thumbs-up from a wheelchair Wednesday.

Slaton had been riding an electric bike through California after completing a stint as a traveling dialysis technician in Oregon, said her parents, who live in Georgia. They said she was in touch with them daily until April 21; the last reported sighting of her was April 24 near Shaver Lake, in the Sierra National Forest above Fresno.

Slaton’s itinerary had her continuing east from Shaver Lake to Mono Hot Springs, but that road is still under seasonal closure.

The sheriff’s office led an intensive five-day search starting May 6, and the effort had continued in scaled-back mode this week.

Have rain, will travel; No. 1 Mililani softball heads to Nevada for games | Honolulu Star-Advertiser

No home games.

A week’s worth of rainouts.

The Lady Trojans of Mililani aren’t down about a rainy spring break, instead relishing another experience as road warriors. The No. 1 team in the Star-Advertiser Softball Top 10 are en route today to bright and sunny southern Nevada.

Mililani will play six games in a four-day span beginning Wednesday in Summerlin, home of Bishop Gorman High School. The busy slate includes matchups with Reed, the No. 9 team in Nevada (MaxPreps), and Santa Margarita, the No. 16 team in California.

“So we are getting in more games as our schedule has been plagued with rainouts and unplayable field conditions. Cannot help. That’s Mother Nature,” Mililani coach Rose Antonio said. “We would like to achieve consistent performances in all games, maintaining high-intensity play, enhance team chemistry and strengthening team bonds.”

All three of Mililani’s games since last Wednesday — against Waianae, Leilehua and Kapolei — were called off due to inclement weather. The Lady Trojans meet Centennial (Las Vegas) on Wednesday. On Thursday, they play Santa Margarita and San Clemente (Calif.). On Friday, Mililani plays Reed, from Sparks, Nev., and host Bishop Gorman.

Their final game is on Sunday against Foothill (Pleasanton, Calif.).

After returning to the islands, Mililani plays Waianae (March 24) and Campbell (March 27).

With a very short week of action, the Top 10 is virtually unchanged. The exception is Moanalua’s move from No. 7 to No. 6, flip-flopping with Kapaa.

Kamehameha ascends past Saint Louis to No. 1

A 4-3 nail-biter win over Damien last week was enough to push the Warriors to No. 1 in the Baseball Top 10. Kamehameha collected just three of nine first-place votes, but outpointed Saint Louis for the top spot.

Despite the litany of rainouts, Pearl City resurfaced in the rankings at No. 9, replacing Punahou. With most ILH games scheduled at Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park, the forecast for Waipio has an 80% chance of rain every day from today through Saturday with the exception of 40% on Wednesday.

Henderson man dies after driving off road on Ducati motorcycle, police say

A Henderson man has died in a motorcycle accident that happened on Sunday, according to Nevada Highway Patrol.

Nicholas Sean Miller, 44, was driving a red 2024 Ducati Panigale motorcycle northbound on Northshore Road, State Route 167, on Sunday morning. According to the Highway Patrol’s investigation, Miller was traveling too fast for the conditions while navigating a curve and went off road.

Troopers responded to a crash at mile marker 16 around 9 a.m. and discovered the Ducati overtuned and Miller ejected from the motorycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash is still under investigation, which is the 17th fatal crash and 20th fatality under NHP’s Southern Command’s jurisdiction.

Another fatal motorcycle accident occured Saturday night near the Strip when the driver fell over a guardrail on the Desert Inn Road overpass and onto Insterstate 15.
