T
he lower eleva-

a few inches of
snow all the way down to
1,700 feet late Wednesday
evening, prompting area
schools to call a snow day
and cancel classes.
The National Weather
Service reported 3 inches
of snow at 2,400 feet in
Grass Valley, and 1 inch
in Nevada City at 2,781
feet. By mid-day Thurs-

melted away.
Today’s sunshine will
continue to raise western
Nevada County temps
before another storm is
scheduled to move in over
the weekend.
The weather service is
calling for the potential
of half an inch to an inch
of precipitation Saturday
through Sunday night and
the potential for 3 to 4
inches Monday through
Wednesday night.

PG&E bankruptcy sends water
agencies searching for alternatives
Submitted to The Union
The Nevada Irriga-
tion District and Placer
County Water Agency are
teaming up to study the
long-term feasibility of
jointly taking over own-
ership and/or operation
of Pacific Gas & Electric’s
Drum-Spaulding Project,
according to a release.
After PG&E filed for
bankruptcy on Jan. 29,
both water agencies be-
came concerned that one
of the possible outcomes
from the bankrupt-
cy proceedings will be
the transfer of PG&E’s
Drum-Spaulding Proj-
ect to a third party. The
release stated that could
have unfavorable impacts
on the water supply reli-
ability for both agencies
and the communities of
Nevada, Placer and Yuba
counties.
The Drum-Spauld-
ing Project provides a
supply to NID’s system.
That project and the
NID Yuba-Bear Project
operate under a coordi-
nated operations agree-
ment. Both NID and
PCWA are reliant on
the continued operation
of the Drum-Spaulding
Project, which supplies
the water needs of more
than 250,000 residential,
agricultural and industry
customers, the release
stated.
NID directors approved
a joint powers agreement
with Placer’s water agency
during their meeting on
Feb. 13.
“After discussion with
PCWA management, we
both agree that it would
be in our mutual best
interest to begin working
together in preparation
for the possibility that
an outcome of the PG&E
bankruptcy proceedings
will be the divestiture
of the Drum-Spaulding
IN BRIEF
Authorities ID fatal
stabbing victim
Authorities have ruled
the stabbing death of a
Nevada City man was a
suicide.
Joseph Cummings, 56,
died early Sunday of a
self-inflicted stab wound
to the neck. The investi-
gation is closed and no
one will face charges, said
Mike Sullivan, chief deputy
coroner.
Nevada County deputies
responded Sunday to
reports of a disturbance in
the 10000 block of Bitney
Springs Road. A couple
was awakened by their
tenant, who was acting
irrationally and trying to
break into their home,
authorities have said.
The tenant, later identi-
fied as Cummings, asked
his landlord to stab and
kill him. Cummings then
attacked the other man.
A struggle that included
the landlord’s wife caused
all three to fall into a pool,
reports state.
The couple retreated to
their home and Cummings
followed. Another struggle
ended when Cummings
pushed his landlord to the
floor, found a knife and
fatally stabbed himself,
authorities said.

RENO, Nev. — Sheriff’s

Project,” said Rem Scher-
zinger, General Manager
of NID.
The Drum-Spaulding
Project was developed in
the late 1800s by Plac-
er and Nevada County
residents on the South
Yuba River. Spaulding
Reservoir, originally built
by John Spaulding and
the South Yuba Water
Company to serve mining
efforts, evolved to deliver
irrigation water to down-
stream farms and ranch-
es. Many of the features
of the early water projects
and original water rights
are still in service today.
Together, the Yuba-Bear
Hydroelectric Project
and the Drum-Spauld-
ing Hydroelectric Project
have a combined power
generation capacity of 270
megawatts, and consist of
more than 40 connected
reservoirs, 13 open- chan-
nel water conveyances
and 16 powerhouses in
the Yuba, Bear and Amer-
ican River watersheds.
“The Yuba-Bear project
and the Drum-Spauld-
ing project are intricately
intertwined and cannot
operate without one an-
other,” Scherzinger said in
the release. “The projects
are a highly organized
system and an interrup-
tion would cause signif-
icant hardship on both
agencies, and ultimately
their customers.”
Representatives on
the team will study the
possibility of pursuing
joint and equal owner-
ship/operation of the
Drum-Spaulding Project
in order to continue to
generate hydroelectric
power and ensure local
water supply reliability.
The cost to fund
this feasibility study is
$50,000 each.

New Infusion Center opens at
Sierra Nevada Memorial hospital

F
or an opening cer-
emony, everything
was in place.
The red rib-
bon, over-sized scissors,
electric candles — even a
harpist was playing light
music in the background.
The Wednesday event
was meant to celebrate
the long-awaited opening
of a transfusion center in
Building 3 of Grass Valley’s
Sierra Nevada Memorial
Hospital.
The introduction of the
event brought people to-
gether, gathering around a
handful of public speakers
who expressed gratitude
for the new venture.
The center includes 12
treatment chairs, a private
room for injections and
a “nourishment center”
for about 9,500 patients
each year, according to a
statement from the hos-
pital. Despite its newly
painted blue and white
walls, modern computer
monitors and the absence
of televisions, the most
peaceful aspect of the
space is its surrounding
environment, according
to Lauren Swinney, the
manager of the infusion
center. Outside, one can
see a stand-alone Amer-
ican flag sitting before a
deluge of trees that rest on
rolling hills overlooking
the hospital.
“This is the best view in
the hospital,” said Swinney.
The Sierra Neva-
da Memorial Hospital
Foundation raised about
$280,000 to construct
the infusion center, which
totaled about $1 million,
according to Kimberly
Parker, executive director
of Sierra Nevada Memorial
Hospital Foundation.
“It was primarily indi-
viduals giving” to make the
project come to fruition,

OUR VIEW
Why shut
the door?
T
o paraphrase
from a famous
movie, Gov.
Gavin Newsom’s
understanding of the word
“transparency” doesn’t
mean what he thinks it
means.
Transparency doesn’t in-
clude restricting access to
a League of Cities meeting
held today in Grass Valley.
It’s not found in a tailored
statement afterward about
what happened behind
closed doors. And it sure
isn’t composed of elected
and appointed officials
from across the state gath-
ering in our county on our
dime.
Transparency suits New-
som on a part-time basis.
For example, when the
governor spoke recently
about the bullet train, he
said “There’s been too little
oversight and not enough
transparency,” CNBC
reported.
Talking about the state’s
charter schools, Newsom
said he wanted lawmakers
to add transparency. “We
want to get a (charter)
transparency bill on my
desk as soon as possible,”
Cal Matters reported.
Merriam-Webster knows
what it’ll get Newsom for
Christmas this year.
The governor’s press of-
fice said Newsom request-
ed no media for today’s
League of Cities meeting.
“It’s a meeting, not a press
event,” a spokesman said.
He offered to provide a
statement of what occurred
after the meeting. But no
reporters. No open doors.
This is the first time a
governor has visited Grass
Valley in recent memory.
We’d like to think this visit
would shine a spotlight on
our government, not cloak
it in darkness. That’s an-
other reason for Newsom
to get a dictionary.
According to Jim Ewert,
general counsel with the
California News Pub-
lishers Association, the
League of Cities has no
requirement to follow the
Brown Act. That’s the law
requiring governments
to meet openly and only
close their doors in narrow
circumstances.
In fact, the league offers
elected officials training
on the Brown Act. It just
doesn’t have to follow the
act itself.
Irony — be sure to high-
light that definition.
The League of Cities has
voluntarily complied with
the Brown Act, Ewert said.
News that the governor
would shutter today’s
meeting surprised him.
After all, why bother to
comply at all if you’re going

to pick and choose?
That’s a good question
for the governor. Wish we
could ask him in person
instead of shouting it as he
drives away.
Make no mistake, the
fact that the League of
Cities is meeting here is a
good thing. Grass Valley
Councilwoman Jan Ar-
buckle, the 2018-19 presi-
dent of the league, helped
draw the group here.
But showcasing our com-
munity to various elected
officials doesn’t equal open
government. There should
be both.
There’s a chance some of
you might not care about
this issue. A bunch of suits
meet behind closed doors
and discuss esoteric bu-
reaucratic details. Nothing
new there, right?
Except in this case we
don’t know what they’re
discussing. Elected and
appointed officials gath-
ering in darkness, using
your money to get there,
and talking about hidden
subjects.
Do you trust them to
offer a true account of
what happened after the
fact? We’ve got a bridge in
San Francisco to sell you if
that’s the case.
Grass Valley paid almost
$6,000 last year to be part
of the League of Cities, and
had a $5,000 budget for
conferences and travel. Ne-
vada City likely would have
paid about $2,500 last year
to be in the league.
This is money that we
pay, you and me, so that
our leaders can cloister
themselves in a building to
discuss unknown topics.
The league’s own manual
from 2014 speaks direct-
ly to this issue. Its core
beliefs include “conducting
the business of government
with openness, respect and
civility.” They also believe
“open decision-making
that is of the highest eth-
ical standards honors the
public trust.”
Open decision making
and high ethical standards
are laudable, desirable
goals. They’re also phras-
es apparently misunder-
stood by Newsom and the
League of Cities.
They’ll need more than a
dictionary to cure that.

the boom was fabulous.

Letters to the editor
Hear our prayers
Christians are com-
manded to pray for our
leaders. In support of
this effort, here are a few
things that I believe need
divine intervention.
• Pray that the forecast
deficit (because of the tax
break for the rich) will not
reach in excess of $1 tril-
lion this year.
• Pray that our president
is not an agent of a foreign
government even though
he repeatedly praises
Russia over our own gov-
ernment agencies and is
under investigation.
• Pray that subsidizing
farms for their crops due
to tariffs imposed by the
president will not be nec-
essary in the future.
• Pray that our immigra-
tion policy will not impris-
on and separate children
from their families.
• Pray that our president
will become a role model
for children. No adultery
with porn stars, bullying,
name-calling or intimida-
tion of witnesses.
• Pray that our president
will end the practice of

On the coffee table mag-
azines and newspapers,
including the Sierra Sun.
The woodstove might have
been going. It was that
kind of moment.
Steve wondered why
the Sun was coming out
five days a week now. “Is
there really enough news?”
he asked. Once a week
seemed about right, he
thought. Maybe twice, a bit
of a stretch.
Live and learn.
Try to listen. I’m
not sure we did
enough of that
when we were
geniuses.
I got to shrug rather
than explain. Not my pa-
per, not my problem. But
I suggested we had great
success in Vail with seven
editions a week.
I thought out loud that
the Sun erred trying to
stay all local as a daily in a
place with so many visitors
and second-home own-
ers. With a tight roundup
of the world outside, I
thought, they could push
away The Bee and the
lying (over 3,000 lies or
misrepresentations since
taking office) and commit
to telling the truth to the
American people.
• Pray that our elected
leaders will stand up for
what is right and not what
is politically expedient.
We know that is a lot to
ask of our Lord but if we
all pray, He might hear our
prayers.

way there because we had
everything, and for free.
This seemed to make
some sense to Steve,
though I think he always
would have preferred the
Sun as a weekly. He had
plenty else on his reading
pile.
Eventually, I shared with
a higher-up my epipha-
ny from our conversation
that morning. He wasn’t
convinced.

commitments.
As this information was
kept from prospective

that they would get four

the option of choosing
another school from the

I don’t get to shrug at the
Sun anymore. Don’t get
to duck responsibility for
the errant name change to
Truckee Sun. Nor the de-
cision to drop Wednesdays
and return the Sun to its
weekly roots.
But good things came
from all this, I’ll argue. The
upset we caused with the
name change told us peo-
ple still cared. Trimming
editions had the happy
effect of making the paper
fully local, and readers
have told me they like this
turn very much, keep it up.
The irony of my change
in outlook is not lost on
me, by the way. Live and
learn. Try to listen. I’m not
sure we did enough of that
when we were geniuses.
Anyway, we had to
up the print run, which
happens almost nowhere
anymore. The business be-
came profitable, that iron-
hard make or break, no
given for any paper now.
So maybe we can make
the paper more and more
interesting for Steve, a
thoughtful guy interested
in his community as well
as all the fun aspects of the

Unfortunately, it is fail-

COUNCIL KNOW & GO

From page A1
to expand their support
for public safety organiza-
tions. The Nevada County
Law Enforcement and
Fire Protection Council
was born, and it celebrates
its 20th anniversary this
year.
“Our goal has always
been to support law
enforcement and fire-
fighters so that no man or
woman would lose their
life because they didn’t
have the right training or
equipment,” said Drown.
“We never want some-
one to get shot or die in a
fire because we didn’t do
enough. I never want a
man or woman down on
my watch.”
The nonprofit council’s
mission is “… to provide
support and assistance
to public law enforce-
ment and fire protection
agencies located in Ne-
vada County by making a
meaningful contribution
to such agencies both in
the form of better equip-
ment and in support and
furtherance of their pro-
grams and policies.”
In the years since its
inception in 1999, the
council has purchased
or donated more than $1
million worth of equip-
ment, support, and train-
ing for local first respond-
ers. Among the many
dozens of contributions to
public safety agencies are
thermal imaging cam-
eras for the Grass Val-
ley Fire Department, an
incident command trailer
for the Sheriff ’s Depart-
ment Search and Rescue
program, first responder
medical kits for the Ne-
vada City Police Depart-
ment, a fire truck for the
Graniteville Fire Depart-
ment, and “Drunk Buster”
pedal carts and impair-
ment goggles for the Grass
Valley Police Department.
The Nevada County Law
Enforcement and Fire
Protection Council has
also donated thousands of
dollars in scholarships to
students pursuing degrees
in law enforcement and
fire protection, and spon-
sored dozens of commu-
nity educational programs
such as “Every 15 Min-
utes,” ”Keeping Kids Safe,”
and “Safe and Sober” grad
night events.
To fund its altruistic
outreach, the council
conducts a variety of fun
fundraisers each year,
including Saturday’s Red
Light Ball.

2018 was a good year for the salmon population. Dozens of thousands were processed through the Feather River
hatchery, and since the end of the drought the Sacramento Valley salmon and steelhead have bounced back quite
nicely.
Steelhead, salmon thriving
in Northern California
O
ver the past ten
days the Feather
River Hatch-
ery has been
planting juvenile steelhead
into the Feather River. This
year the hatchery produced
460,000 fish for planting
in the river and it took over
a week with three trucks
to get them all down to the
Boyd’s Pump launch ramp.
The ramp at Boyd’s Pump
is a few miles below the
mouth of the Yuba River
and this year the conditions
for planting the steelhead
have been ideal.
The worst case scenario
is low clear water where
predators can find con-
centrations of small fish
in shallow water. In these
conditions both the birds as
well as the stripers can dev-
astate the juveniles as they

Although the Feather has
had modest flows as Lake
Oroville is being refilled,
the Yuba has been run-

start of the fish releases
the Yuba was up above the
3,000 cubic feet per second
level which is double the
1,500 level we had been
seeing. By the 14th the

the flows have gradually
dropped back to the 4,500

water depth, the speed of
the current probably has

the silt in the water so that

How wildlife survives in
the snowy weather
By Hannah Jones
Special to The Union
W
hile surviv-
ing colder
temperatures
in the winter
may not be a concern
for most people, Tahoe
wildlife have to resort to
unique strategies to carry
on through the colder
months.
According to Will Rich-
ardson, the co-founder
and executive director for
the Tahoe Institute for
“
If you’re an
animal you’re
thinking about
metabolism and
keeping your caloric
needs met.
”
— Will Richardson
Co-founder and executive director
for the Tahoe Institute for
Natural Science
Natural Science, animals
in the Tahoe region have
three options: “hibernate,
hoof it, or hang tough.”
During a Tahoe Silicon
Mountain presentation
last week, Richardson
explained how animals
can have different mecha-
nisms for surviving winter
including hibernating,
migrating and insulating
their bodies.
“If you’re an animal
you’re thinking about
metabolism and keeping
your caloric needs met,”
During the winter bears have to resort to hibernation
to survive the cold months.
training is designed to meet
the needs of trip leaders,
camp staff, outdoor en-
thusiasts, and individuals
working in remote loca-
tions for extended periods
of time. Classroom lectures
and demonstrations are
combined with realistic
scenarios where mock pa-
tients will challenge you to
integrate your learning.
At the end of the course,
you will receive a two-year
certification and have the
knowledge, skills, and abil-
ity to better manage back-
country emergencies. Cost
said Richardson. “Having
enough food coming in,
enough energy coming
in that you can maintain
body temperatures that
you can make it day to
day. That gets tough with
colder temperatures,” he
said.
He said that on a cel-
lular level lower tem-
peratures can prove to be
extremely dangerous for
wildlife. When tempera-
tures drop, the water in
a mammal’s cells expand
into crystals which can
cause damage to the
body’s cells.
“Being in a mountain-
ous area all these things
are made more signif-
icant,” he said. “Snow
in particular is really
problematic.
“If what you’re after
is food, it’s gone,” he
said adding that getting
around in the snow is
often difficult for most
species. However there
are some benefits to the
snowpack including in-
sulation from the colder
temperatures and shelter
from predators.
Shorter days and a lack
of available food forces
animals such as bear to
resort to hibernation.
“What really drives
hibernation in bears has a
lot less to do with climate
and weather and every-
thing to do with food
availability during the late

PEIRCE
From page A1
December and finished on Feb.
1. This year’s take was just below
1,400,000 eggs. This is project-
ed to produce more than the
400,000 fish target for release in
February of 2020.
For the salmon population,
the fall of 2018 was a good year.
Close to 30,000 salmon were
processed through the hatchery.
This is way above what is needed
to plant in the Feather River.
This year all of the inland lake
“land locked” salmon in Califor-
nia are coming from the Feather
River Hatchery. Some of the eggs
will be moved to the Silverado
facility in the Napa Valley to be
raised until it is time to plant the
lakes next fall.
Since the end of the drought
the Sacramento Valley salmon
and steelhead have bounced back
very nicely.
With all of the wet weather we
have had, fishing locally has not
been stellar. The rivers have been
high and muddy at the lower
elevations and up the hill skiing
is the order of the day. The best
location for boat anglers has
been Bullards Bar. The lower
end of the lake has relatively
clean water. The kokanee will
bite when you find them. Guides
report good success when you
have the correct combination of
speed, depth and color. Anglers
not getting the right combina-
tion are struggling.
The spotted bass at Bullards
Bar are getting close to spawn-
ing. They are close to the bank in
12 to 15 feet of water. A recent re-
port from some bass anglers ref-
erenced some good sized spots.
Over the hill at Pyramid Lake,
Nevada, this year has been pro-
ducing fewer but larger cutthroat
trout. The Truckee River has
been putting dirty water into the
south end. Many of the anglers
have been staying away from the
murky water in the south and
fishing the middle and north
end. The problem recently has
been getting over the hill on
I-80.
In the near future the water
levels on the Feather and the
Sacramento Rivers will be drop-
ping. Anglers have been seeing
sturgeon on the move in both
rivers. I expect we will have a
good sturgeon fishing as the wa-
ter conditions improve.

fall and winter,” he said. “Any wild
self respecting bear around here
is sleeping right now.”
During this time of year, bears
are decreasing their metabolism
as low a possible, as well as their
body temperature. The key Rich-
ardson said is to make sure they
time their hibernation right and
get enough food before the winter
starts.
Another example of hiberna-
tion Richardson used was the Si-
erra Chorus Frog which can selec-
tively freeze part of its body while

keeping its vital organs warm.
“They have a very clever strat-
egy of dealing with that,” he said.
He said they can direct ice to
certain parts of their body by pro-
ducing blood sugar around vital
organs.
Species that choose not to mi-
grate out of the area or hibernate
can employ other tactics such as
gaining body fat to keep them
warm or camouflaging them-
selves to hide from predators.

First MLB spring training
game washed out
The spring training sea-
son started with a splash.
Just not the kind fans
hoped for.
In the first major league
exhibition game of the
year, the Seattle Mariners
and Oakland Athletics
were rained out Thursday.
The Mariners roughed up
Jerry Blevins and led 5-0 in
the middle of the second
inning when it was called
— so in a game where
the stats don’t count, they
really won’t count.
“We have our feet wet
now, literally,” Athletics
manager Bob Melvin said.

By Jim Adams
Sports Columnist
Somewhere in heaven
there is a huge volleyball
match today.
There is a new player.
He is adorned in a Nevada
Union jersey. He will have
a big smile on his face. It
will usher in a new era in
the Pearly Gates. St. Peter
will ask his name. He will
respond, “My name is Justin
Carroll but they call me ‘The
Hammer’.” He will be free
from pain or ailment. Car-
roll will hit like never before.

He will carry on the legacy
he began here on earth.
Justin Carroll was 27. He
hailed from Grass Valley.
On Monday he suffered
a major epileptic seizure.
Despite valiant attempts, he
could not be resuscitated.
He passed leaving a marked
history behind.
Carroll was part of a band
of men who ushered in the
golden era of Nevada Union
boys volleyball. You would
find him in the front row
causing havoc and mayhem
for his opponents. Car-
roll was a strong, focused
competitor. He played with
intensity and brilliance.
There was a style to his
game that was unique.
In 2009, he recorded
more than 500 league kills
as the team cut a swath
through the Sierra Foothill
League, helping to orches-
trate a season in which
Nevada Union would be
nationally ranked. The team
would go on to claim the
league championship and

Manny Machado’s new
$300 million contract put
a stop — at least temporari-

player complaints that ma-

to the free agent market.
It did nothing, however,
to change the new reality of
baseball. And that’s some-
thing players should be wor-
rying about between now
and 2021, when the current
collective bargaining agree-

AP source: NBA, union
move forward talks on
ending ‘one-and-done’
The NBA and its players
are continuing to move
forward on plans to elim-
inate the “one-and-done”
rule in college basketball,
something that the sides
have been working to-
ward for months.
The league has sent a
proposal to the National
Basketball Players
Association on lowering
the minimum age for en-
tering the NBA Draft from
19 to 18, and the union
discussed the contents at
a meeting in the Bahamas
earlier this week, a person
with knowledge of the
matter told The Associated
Press on Thursday. The
person spoke to the AP on
condition of anonymity be-
cause neither side released
the proposal publicly.
The proposal changed
hands during NBA All-Star
Weekend and was not in
reaction to Duke star Zion
Williamson, quite possibly
the No. 1 pick in this year’s
draft, suffering a Grade 1,
or minor, sprain of his right
knee on Wednesday night.
Williamson, a freshman,
is widely expected to be
in the NBA next season
and forgo his final three
seasons of collegiate
eligibility.

volleyball championship.
Carroll was in a cadre of
players who ushered in great
success. He did it with great
poise and an effective right
arm. He was a terror who
made each player on the
team better. He made many
contributions both on and
off the court.
His death, at such a young
age, left the NU volleyball
community saddened and
shocked.
“No matter where he was,
he was most passionate
about sports,” said Mallory
Castles, one of Carroll’s clos-
est friends. “He was happiest
on the court and always gave
110 percent. He would lay it
all out there.”
One of the team cogs was
libero Jason Adams. He
remained close with Carroll
long after their playing days.
However, he could not help
but reminisce about those
days a decade ago when they
both starred for Nevada
Union. He said, “Once he
was on the court, he zoned
in. He was able to channel
his skills at something in
which he was exceptional. I
see him as a key figure who
changed things at NU. It
is really hard to see some-
one who you care for die so
suddenly.”
These days are tough for
his mother, Annette Carroll.
She struggles with Justin’s
passing. Through tears she
discussed his passion, how
much he loved his team-
mates, and how his Nevada
Union volleyball seasons
were the best days of his life.

loved watching him play. He

the trends have set off some
alarms among players and
the players’ union.
There’s increasing chatter
about the possibility of try-
ing to reopen the collective
bargaining agreement to
make some adjustments.
Sure, Machado got a
10-year contract and Bryce
Harper will get something
similar. But those con-
tracts are just for a few elite
players, while others will
remain unsigned or settle
for far less.
It’s one reason baseball

From the standpoint
of owners the equation is
simple: Why take the risk
Justin Carroll (far right) is pictured here with coach Marco
Salcedo (standing) and fellow volleyball teammates.
held onto a lot of memories
that never went away,” she
said.
It will be an impossible
void to fill. He would often
text her just to say “I love
you, your #1 fan.” At times,
Annette saw him as bigger
than life. Why wouldn’t she?
He was a son who brought so
much happiness and accom-
plishment to the family’s lives.
Carroll moved on to play
for the Northern Califor-
nia Volleyball Club. He also
excelled on this stage. It took
him to the Junior Olympics
and tournaments through-
out the country. He loved to
travel, especially if it meant
playing volleyball. He was
as integral a part on this
team as he was at NU. It also
taught him discipline and
helped him truly hone his
skills. Carroll loved the suc-
cess it brought. However, he
shied away from notoriety.
He would rather focus on
team play and their contri-
butions as a whole. He did it
on long-term contracts for
millions of dollars when
there are replacement
players available for the
major league minimum of
$555,000?
Use two of them in a
platoon and the numbers
might be close enough to
a Machado or Harper. Or
load the bullpen with min-
imum wage arms and have
them throw as hard as they
can for as long as they can
and then bring in a new
bunch.
“All veteran players of a
certain age are being affect-
ed by this analysis, which
is not just widespread but
fairly consistent across
most clubs,” said former
New York Mets general
manager Sandy Alderson,
now an Oakland Athletics
senior adviser. “The math is
SUBMITTED PHOTO
for the fun and competition
that the sport brought him.
Throughout his journey,
a person always at his side
was coach Marco Salcedo.
It was somewhat a mentor-
ing experience for Salcedo.
He taught him much about
competition and adulthood.
Salcedo contributed greatly
to who he was and the out-
standing team member he
would become.
“He was the heart of that
2009 Nevada Union group,”
Salcedo said. “He put NU on
the map as one of the elite
volleyball teams in Califor-
nia. He did his job every day.
I relied upon him. He had a
very high IQ. He was a hard
hitter. He started hitting his
mark. It was kill, kill, kill.
He became a real outside
hitter with power.”
Local leader Dan Cas-
tles contributed greatly to
Carroll’s life and volleyball
career. They spent count-
less hours together. Castles
invested much energy in
the math.”
That math is unsparing in
baseball these days. A sport
that always valued numbers
has embraced new metrics
like WAR (Wins Above Re-
placement) even more and
front offices are using them
to evaluate risk and reward
in the free agent market.
Add in the higher luxury
tax imposed in the latest
collective bargaining agree-
ment and high payroll clubs
like the Red Sox, Dodgers
and Yankees are watching
every dollar they spend.
Still, it’s hard not to laugh
when Chicago Cubs owner
Tom Ricketts — whose
team is valued at $2.9
billion by Forbes — opens
spring training by saying
his team didn’t pursue any
high priced free agents
because there is no money

ADVICE & BEYOND THE COUNTY
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Readers weigh in on abusive relationship
Dear Readers: The letter
from a woman who is think-
ing about walking out on
her 40-year marriage struck
a chord, and many of you
thought my suggestion of
marriage counseling was the
wrong advice, even though
I said that if the counseling
proved fruitless, she would
know what to do. My first
impression was that seeing
as the woman was seeing
her own therapist, if her life
were in danger, her therapist
— who knows much more
about the situation than we
do — would help her to leave.
However, I received so many
letters taking a different po-
sition that I wanted to share
some of them with you.
Dear Annie: The best ad-
vice that should be given to a
person who has a spouse who
isolates and abuses is for the
person to reach out to a local
domestic violence agency. It
was poor advice to have this
woman take her husband for
couples therapy, as that might
be the one thing that could
trigger him to escalate his
abusive behavior. She needs
to talk to a trained counselor
or advocate who works with
an approved agency for vic-
tims of domestic violence. It
is very unlikely that he would
change his ways by attending
couples counseling. She will
not be able to make a clear
decision while she is still liv-
ing in the home and requiring
lots of emotional support.

ASK THE DOCTORS
Instead of dieting, focus on long-term health
Dear Doctor: Yes, it’s totally
predicable, but my New
Year’s resolution was to lose
15 pounds. I wanted to do
the keto diet, but my friend
(a physician assistant) said to
concentrate on healthy eating
instead. What do you think?
Does it really have to be a
choice between weight loss or
wellness?
Dear Reader: You’re asking
an excellent question, and
you are far from alone in your
quandary. Since the holi-
days, we’ve seen an increase
in the number of stories on
this very topic. Where once
post-holiday diet discussions
focused on austerity and sheer
willpower, the conversation
has shifted to health and
well-being. Sure, restrictive
eating plans like the ketogenic
diet, which revolves around
fat and protein, still hold sway.
It’s hard to argue with the
allure of eating bacon, cheese,
meat and butter and still los-
ing weight.
The term “wellness” has
quietly migrated from the
medical world and into
common usage. Even Weight
Watchers, the venerable diet
company, has rebranded itself
HOROSCOPE/ASTROGRAPH
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTH-
DAY: Be wary of what’s going
on around you and cognizant
of who your supporters and
detractors are. Choose your
friends wisely and distance
yourself from people who are
indulgent or likely to hold
you back. Achievement will
depend on your ability to
align yourself with honorable
individuals.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20):
Listen to what everyone has
to say and be aware of what’s
accurate and what’s false.
Someone will make unreal-
istic promises that could end
up being costly.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Don’t let emotions dictate
your actions. Take a step
back and consider your op-
tions. You are best off talking
to a trusted source of advice
before you make a move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Consider what you enjoy do-
ing most and structure your
resume to help you qualify
for positions that excite you.
Taking action will bring
results, so stop dreaming and
start doing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Engage in activities that take
your mind off your troubles.

Dear Annie: Your reply to

Still, simply switching to a
healthful diet does not auto-
matically translate into weight
loss. The connection between
how much energy we take
in and how much energy we
expend remains. Consistently
overeat, even on a healthful
diet, and you’ll gain weight.
In our experience, the ap-
proach to weight loss that has
the best odds of success is a
plan that is gradual, delib-
erate and long-term. That’s

counseling. Please reconsider
your answer in light of what
we understand about the
dynamics of abusive relation-
ships. In the setting of abuse,
marriage or couples counsel-
ing can put the weaker party
at risk for more serious abuse
and even death, especial-
ly if the abuser knows that
the partner is considering
leaving. Around the time of
leaving is the most danger-
ous time for a person in an
abusive relationship. Most
couples therapists and coun-
seling agencies will not do

How could this woman talk

knowing that her husband
might go home and take it
out on her? Her safety is the
primary consideration here.
Given that her adult children

that she is worried about “the
right thing to do” to her fam-
ily, you might recommend
that her therapist coordinate

dieters heavier than when
they started.
We agree with your
friend that your initial focus
should be on a healthful and
well-balanced diet. But we
don’t think that when you get
up tomorrow morning, you
have to face a brand-new di-
etary landscape. Instead, start
with a clear-eyed assessment
of what you actually do eat.
Keeping a food diary for one
week — a relentlessly honest
one — is an eye-opener. Write
not only what you eat, but also
how much and at what time.
Make any dietary changes
gradually. Focus on lean pro-
teins, a wide variety of fresh
fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, nuts and legumes, and
healthful oils. It can be tough,
but make peace with the idea
of incremental weight loss.
With just 5 ounces of weight
loss per week, you’ll exceed
your 15-pound goal by the
time 2020 rolls around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22):
Don’t let anger get the better

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-

Home improvements are

IN BRIEF
Case against Jussie
Smollett resembles
detailed movie script
CHICAGO — As au-
thorities laid out their
case against “Empire”
actor Jussie Smullett, the
narrative that emerged
Thursday sounded like that
of a filmmaker who wrote,
cast, directed and starred
in a short movie.
Prosecutors said Smollett
gave detailed instruc-
tions to the accomplices
who helped him stage a
racist, anti-gay attack on
himself, including telling
them specific slurs to yell,
urging them to shout
“MAGA country” and even
pointing out a surveillance
camera that he thought
would record the beating.
“I believe Mr. Smollett
wanted it on camera,”
Police Superintendent
Eddie Johnson told report-
ers. “But unfortunately that
particular camera wasn’t
pointed in that direction.”
New election ordered
in disputed North
Carolina House race
RALEIGH, N.C. — North
Carolina’s elections board
Thursday ordered a new
election in the nation’s last
undecided congressional
race after the Republican
candidate conceded
his lead was tainted by
evidence of ballot-tamper-
ing by political operatives
working for him.
The State Board of
Elections voted 5-0 in favor
of a do-over in the mostly
rural 9th Congressional
District but did not imme-
diately set a date.
In moving to order a new
election, board chairman
Bob Cordle cited “the cor-
ruption, the absolute mess
with the absentee ballots.”
