Cleaning up for earth dayFor Earth Day 2018 the Eastern Sierra Four wheel Drive Club cleaned up the two roads in Inyo County that likely have the most trash. The two roads that lead to the Bishop Landfill (Sunland and Sunland Res roads) accumulate an excess of trash that escapes from the vehicles on their way to the dump. Sixteen club members spent Sunday morning getting a little exercise, enjoying coffee and donuts, and greatly improving the roadside conditions. A big thank you goes out to Eastern Sierra

Propane who supplied coffee, donuts and a gathering location, and also Preferred Disposal, which supplied the dumpster. Pictured here, from left, are Mike Nolan, Debby Hidalgo, Maureen McVicker, Jon Patzer, Peggy and Pat Higgins, Sherrie and Darin Skare, Greg and Lauri Richards, Ron Robinson, John McVicker, Raul Hidalgo and DeEtte Johnston.

Agency provides adult day care services to enhance the quality of life for older individualsRegister Staff

The Friendship Center will be hosting an open house from 5-7 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop United Methodist

Church Adult Lounge, 205 N. Fowler.

The Friendship Center is an Alzheimer’s and dementia adult day care facility that started in 1999, according to the center’s website.

A basic principle that has guided the vision of the Friendship Center is: In order to fully care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s/dementia, the care provider also needs to care for his or herself.

The Friendship Center can enable the care provider to

experience some time of rest and renewal, while knowing that his or her loved one is being well-cared for in a safe and welcoming environment.

The center’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for older individuals who suffer with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other age-relat-ed disabilities through adult day services, so that individu-als may remain longer at home, living meaningful and purposeful lives.

The center offers music

and singing led by local musi-cians, memory games, includ-ing puzzles, ball games, trivia and Bingo and lunch and snacks.

The agency has a staff of three professionals with a combined experience of more than 50 years caring for the geriatric population.

The center achieved a 100 percent approval on inspec-tion by the California Department of Social Services in 2017, according to the cen-ter.

The Friendship Center is licensed by the California Community Care Licensing and is operated by United Methodist Social Services.

The Friendship Center is open from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays.

The program cost $33 a day. However, full and partial need-based scholarships are available.

The center also offers a free one-day trial to help peo-ple decide whether the Friendship Center is a good fit.

Data could help convince LADWP to renew land leases

By Stacey PowellsTimes Correspondent

No matter which way it’s dissected, the possible non-renewal of vital LADWP land leases for water rights that local ranchers in Inyo and Mono counties depend on for grazing is a lose-lose situa-tion.

STUDYContinued from front page several aspects of the agricul-tural economy of both Inyo and Mono counties and included an examination of the induced impacts of agri-culture on the local economy and detailed strategies to address the region’s econom-ic constraints. “Instead of stopping at production val-ues and acreage, (the study) quantifies agriculture’s total economic contribution through food production, employment, and economic ‘multiplier effects,’ stated Reade in his introduction let-ter. “It also examines agricul-ture’s economic diversity, ecosystem services, produc-tion across different land ownership types, inter-county relationships, and opportuni-ties to expand through great-er diversification.”

Reade also confirmed what most people in Mono and Inyo counties already know – that, “Agriculture has had a long tradition in both Inyo and Mono counties, and for more than 150 years, has been a pillar of the economy and culture.”

The analysis supported ten main conclusions such as: Direct production value - For 2015, agriculture produced a combined total of $49.7 mil-lion across both counties, including $18.5 million from Inyo and $31.2 million from Mono. “Livestock & Livestock Products” was the largest cat-egory, contributing 48.3% of the counties’ combined total; Steady, overall growth - Despite recent dips and varia-tions across counties and cat-egories, total farm produc-

tion values have shown steady, long-term growth. From 2000 to 2015, the com-bined total output for both counties rose $14.1 million (39.6 percent). This growth outpaced inflation by 3.9 per-cent; Multiplier effects - Agricultural production cre-ates ripples in the local econ-omy. For example, every dol-lar’s worth of economic out-put from Inyo ‘Livestock & Livestock Products’ creates an extra 64 cents in purchas-es from suppliers and spend-ing by agricultural employ-ees; Total economic output - Agriculture’s multiplier effects totaled $9.0 million in Inyo and $19.9 million in Mono, for a combined total of $28.9 million. When added to the $49.7 million in direct output mentioned above, agriculture’s combined total economic output rises to $78.6 million; Ownership of agricultural lands - Across both counties combined, fed-eral agencies own most of agricultural land (88.7 per-cent) and rangeland pasture is the most common use (97.2 percent of total area). Among field crops, private lands contributed the highest dollar output (63.8 percent of the total), mostly through alfalfa hay production (66.6 percent of all output).

As impressive as the study was, the undeniable elephant in the room was the LADWP. The study continued with, “At the time of writing, LADWP noted owning rough-ly 320,000 acres in Inyo and Mono Counties, with 240,000 of these acres leased to ranchers for grazing. Leased

lands include 18,000 irrigated acres, 2,000 of them allocated for alfalfa production. On its website, LADWP notes that, ‘Grazing and recreation are compatible with watershed protection, and are an impor-tant part of a land manage-ment program that provides viable business opportunities while satisfying the goal of water quality protection.’”

The BLM manages 1.4 mil-lion Inyo County acres and 524,000 Mono County acres. The Forest Service manages 776,000 in Inyo County and 1,219,489 in Mono County. The study went on to state that at the time of writing, an estimated 121,200 Inyo County acre were in private ownership (1.9%), and 130,291 Mono County acres were privately owned (6.5%). Mono County owns 770 acres, part of which is Conway Ranch.

“LADWP lands play a criti-cal, disproportionate role in agricultural economic out-put,” the study went on to explain. “LADWP owns just 9.9 percent of agricultural acres but 19.8 percent of agriculture’s direct and indi-rect economic output occurs there. Thus, any changes in LADWP leasing policies would have significant conse-quences for agricultural eco-nomic output.” The study also portrayed wineries and cannabis production as future positive additions to the agriculture ecosystem in both counties.

fESTContinued from front page before the festival, the Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association, with assistance from Inyo County, will take students on local field trips to experience the birds that migrate through their home firsthand.

“We’re so pleased that the lake and her birds are receiv-ing the recognition that they deserve,” says Owens Lake Bird Festival organizer and Friends of the Inyo board member Mike Prather. “It

took years of hard work with many organizations, agen-cies, and individuals, and now the word is out that Owens Lake is a wildlife viewing site at a world class level.”

The amazing restoration progress on Owens Lake owes its success to the years of collaboration and dia-logue that took place between a wide variety of stakeholders. In a time peri-od of great political, social, and environmental unrest,

especially at the national level, the Owens Lake Bird Festival provides an oppor-tunity for the public to cele-brate social and ecological successes in the Owens Valley. It also reminds us that anything worth doing takes patience and time, and when everyone comes into the same room to discuss and collaborate, positive out-comes – for the land, the people, and the wildlife – can

wATErContinued from front page county through the county’s Technical Group representa-tives for review, allowing for the county to have a 10-day period following receipt of the plan to offer comments.

LADWP delivered the pro-posed plan to the Water Department April 20, the deadline set forth in the Long-Term Agreement. According to an agenda docu-ment prepared by the Water Department April 17 for today’s supervisors meeting, Water Department staff at the beginning of April began pre-paring for evaluating LADWP’s plan by “(measur-ing) water levels in a number of shallow monitoring wells that (the county) use as ‘indi-cator wells’ to assess how water table levels have changed in each wellfield over the past year and where the water table is with respect to 1985-1987 baseline levels.”

According to these mea-surements, water levels rose throughout the valley during 2017 due to the abundant water available for groundwa-ter recharge, with LADWP estimating that it spread 230,000 acre-feet in Owens Valley last year.

The Water Department is advising the supervisors that most indicator wells in Laws, northern Big Pine, Taboose-Aberdeen, Thibaut-Sawmill, and Bairs-Georges wellfields are above baseline water lev-els; while indicator wells in southern Big Pine, Independence-Oak, and Symmes-Shepherd are below baseline.

The April 1 runoff forecast

occur. “LADWP is proud to sup-

port the Owens Lake Bird Festival,” LADWP Director of Water Operations Anselmo Collins said. “Partnering on this event allows us to show-case the hard work and care Department staff takes each day to protect wildlife habi-tat on the lakebed and increase visitors to this uniquely beautiful location in the Owens Valley.”

for 2018-2019 for the Owens Valley is 78 percent of nor-mal, according to the Water Department’s information provided to the supervisors, noting that “Given the low runoff and high water table conditions, it is likely that LADWP will propose to pump for export this year. Already, since April 1, according to LADWP daily aqueduct reports, several aqueduct supply wells have been turned on including W218 and W219 in Big Pine; W118 and W370 in Taboose-Aberdeen; W382 in Thibaut-Sawmill; and W343, W348, and W403 in Bairs-Georges.”

With the LADWP plan now in hand, the supervisors will consider what direction to give to the Water Department in responding to the contents of the LADWP plan for the 2018-19 water year.

The Inyo County Board of Supervisors meets in regular session at 10 a.m. today.

The meeting will be held in the Board Chambers at the County Administrative Center in Independence, 224 N. Edwards St. The meeting also can be lived streamed from http://www.inyocounty.us/Board_of_Supervisors/.

Uncommon Sense

Virtual musicThere was always a vari-

ety of music playing in the house I grew up in. Both of my folks played records, and when they weren’t lis-tening they played the radio instead. The radio was usu-ally tuned in to what was then called a “middle of the road” or MOR station back that played pop music. Well after the arrival of the Beatles, MOR stations studi-ously avoided anything even vaguely rocking, which was fine as far as my folks were concerned because they did not care for either pre-or post Beatles rock ‘n’ roll.

They figured rock ‘n roll was kid’s music; simple to the point of simplistic for people whose musical taste was formed back in an era when sophisticated song-craft, polished musicianship and arrangements courtesy of professional songwriters,

musicians and arrangers ruled the airwaves. They dis-dained the beat heavy music and later on the distorted guitars my generation embraced, while we pitied them for getting old before they died by failing to get it.

But as those who live long enough to come to understand this know, we grow up to become our par-ents – even and especially when we retain our 20-year-old tastes. The song remains the same, but the listener changes. Like many others I did not outgrown most of the music I liked when I was 20 years old. I have become my parents.

Rock is not dead as the terminally hip might main-tain, but pop music reigns supreme now. Pop music is an idea more than a genre per se, and over the decades it has had its ups and

downs. It is in a down peri-od now. I know I am a gee-zer because I regard most current pop music with the same disdain my folks did for the music I liked when I was at the age people con-sume pop music now were – and for the same reason. To my folk’s ears rock ‘n’ roll

sounded loud and aggres-sive and artificial thanks to amplification. A lot of mod-ern pop sounds that way to me now. It sounds more technological than human to me – the product of a tech-nology that has taken music making out of the hands of people who actually play music, and put it in the hands of engineers and sound designers armed with digital audio workstations (DAWs), that assemble it into hits in the same man-ner Apple builds computers and Toyota cars. Personal expression, much less per-sonality gets drowned in technology and process. The end result is something that is arguably functional and even musical in its way, but it doesn’t sound quite right because it doesn’t sound real – like the kind of music that would be possible to

make live in a physical space by human beings.

To my ears at least most of it sounds the same, if not in actual sound but in what it expresses. This is an issue with me, but I also under-stand why it wouldn’t be for the demographic it is aimed at. Most of us live in an increasingly virtual world where the idea that some-one actually physically inter-acts with, or even partici-pates in the process of mak-ing music in real time in a physical locale like a room, hall or stadium is irrelevant. If we don’t listen to music in real spaces, there is no rea-son to expect, or even want to hear music that can be made in them.

If it were not for the fact

that new technology usually marginalizes rather than completely eliminates the

technologies it supplants, there would be no music in the not too distant future as neuroscience develops the means to push whatever mental buttons music push-es without having to beat a drum, pick pluck or bow a string or tap a key. For those who desire it there will be virtual pop stars – Michael Jackson on steroids- – and live shows with CGI holograms doing athletic choreography, and not a human being in sight. This will fill the space pop music currently occupies in the heads of those who don’t really listen to music, and the rest of us will just play on.

(Carne cannot necessarily play all the music in his mental jukebox live, but it doesn’t keep him from try-ing.)

The story behind the red crepe-paper poppies

Volunteers of the American Legion Auxiliary offer poppies to the public to be worn on Memorial Day, so they can pay tribute to the nation’s honored war dead.

In spring of 1919, amidst complete devastation, the poppies become in abun-dance on the battlefields of France where so many of our men had fallen in battle and that a replica of this poppy has become the Memorial Flower of the American Legion Auxiliary.

The memorial poppies are made of red crepe paper by disabled veterans in hospitals and poppy workrooms in 50 states, and that the workers receive pay for each poppy made, the material being furnished free by the department in the state in which the hospitals are located.

No evidence that a majority is willing to pay SIH tax

When will the Southern Inyo Hospital Board come to grips with the reality of the failure of Measure J?

Once again, as quoted in The Inyo Register article of April 21, they exhibited a lack of critical thinking: “while more than half the voters were willing to pay the proposed parcel tax, it was clearly not the two-thirds super-majority required by law.”

The vote did not indicate how many voters were willing to pay the parcel tax; it indicated how many voters were willing for property owners to pay. Many voters in the district do not own parcels here. Also, property on the reservations is exempt from taxation, but tribal members are eligible to vote. It’s reasonable to guess that some untaxed voters would like to see the hospital remain open and debt-free, regardless of the tax burden that others might have to bear.

The vote tally on April 10 delivers only one message: Measure J failed. In looking toward the future of health care in the district, the board would do well to read the tea leaves a little more carefully. Incorrect crunching of numbers could lead to further bankruptcies.

the Folk collection brings back the sounds of the 1960sregister Staff

For one performance only, The Folk Collection will play in Bishop to benefit the youth of the Eastern Sierra. On May 19 this nationally known group will play one concert at the Inyo Council for the Arts, at 137 Main Street in Bishop. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available by reservation or at the door (as long as seating lasts.)

The Folk Collection takes audiences back to the songs of the 60s, bringing their blend of great musicianship, won-derful harmonies and side splitting comedy. It is expect-ed that this small room will sell out very quickly, with all

proceeds going to benefit the Youth Aviation mentoring program offered by First Southern Baptist Church of Bishop. This program exposes teens to all phases of aviation, including a chance to fly in a general aviation aircraft and to actually build an aircraft that will eventually belong to the group.

What’s better than an eve-ning of great entertainment with all proceeds going to help the youth of our community?

Reservations should be made by calling (760) 873-6022 and leaving a name and contact information as well as number of seats requested.

Those who can’t attend the concert but who would like to make a donation all funds should be addressed to First Southern Baptist Church, 251 Sierra Street, Bishop, CA., 93514; or contact Pastor Tony at pastorfsb@gmail.com. If donations are made by check please be sure to put “scamp” in the memo line.

Individual students also showed their cyphering prowessBy Jeniffer VelazquezBUHS student

The BUHS junior varsity and varsity mathletes closed off the 2017-2018 season with a strong finish! Both teams were honored with a second-place finish in their respective leagues, only a few points behind their first-place competitors (the JV team scored 95 points in total with Tehachapi in first with 113 points, and the varsity team scored 148 total points with Desert in first with 168

points). Each mathlete worked exceptionally hard this year, so a second-place finish is absolutely something to be proud of.

Junior varsity captains Rachel Fitt, Scott Hennarty and Jordan Cooper lead the rest of the JV team, made up of Lauren Wesling, Haley Yarborough, Mahdi Ayman, Abigail Ball, Tylar Banta, Sierra Burror, Madison Foster, Nick Jacobs, Clara Place and Ace Selters. The varsity team is led by captains Carter Silva and Jim Tomasek, and is made up of Dylan Fitt, Nathan Gardea, Kristen Lamb, Sam Omondi, Taryn Benson, Martin Cruz, Maddy Hernandez, Tami Lee, Jeanine Lomaintewa, Sam Marcinko, Arianna Pope, Jeniffer Velazquez and YoungJin Kim.

Many of our hard-working mathletes even placed in the top 15 in their respective leagues based on individual overall scores! On the junior varsity team, Scott Hennarty placed eighth, Jordan Cooper, ninth, Clara Place, 10th, and Rachel Fitt placed 15th. On the varsity team, Jim Tomasek placed third, Dylan Fitt, sev-enth, Kristen Lamb, 11th, and Carter Silva placed 14th.

After such a difficult sea-son, it should come to no surprise that DeeDee Buchholz, the mathletes’ coach, is “so proud” of all the mathletes. She says “they worked really hard this sea-son and I look forward to next year. I love coaching these students because not only are they great at math but they are exceptional peo-ple.”

Mathletes solve the season in second

As graduation nears for millions of students, proms, parties, travel excursions, and other opportunities to cele-brate are on the horizon.

Teenagers and young adults understandably want to let loose and enjoy a bit of revelry this time of year. But they shouldn’t do it at the expense of their safety. Even though Monitoring the Future’s survey of drug use and atti-tudes among high-schoolers shows some promising trends — notably that past-year use of illicit drugs other than mar-ijuana holding steady at the lowest levels in two decades — drug and alcohol use remains a concern whenever teens are in social situations. Furthermore, the National Institute on Drug Abuse found high school seniors reported reduced perception of harm in occasional cocaine, heroin and steroid use, and reduced dis-approval of trying LSD.

Underage drinking, and binge drinking in particular, is responsible for the deaths of thousands of underage kids

each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With planning and effective com-munication, parents, caregiv-ers and teens can make smart and responsible decisions this graduation season.

• Lead by example. Parents need to be careful when speak-ing with teens about alcohol and recognize that kids may be observing their parents’ alcohol consumption. Parents should lead by example and avoid drinking to excess.

• Trust your judgement. Teens should not let peer pressure compel them to do anything they do not want to do. It’s not necessary to drink or do drugs to have a good time. Encourage teens to sur-round themselves with like-minded friends who watch out for one another.

• Have a plan. It’s impor-tant that students and their parents know where parties will be held and how to get there, and also how to get home. Make sure kids know that it’s unsafe to ride home with someone who has been drinking.

responsible partying tips for teens

Murray and her team are the first in IMACA, Inyo County and Mono County to receive 5 out of 5 on the Quality rating Improvement System. Murray, the lead teacher at the center, has been with IMACA for five years and has taught for a total of 16 years.

Dear Annie: My husband passed away seven years ago from complications from Alzheimer’s disease. We had very dear friends whom we went everywhere with – church, movies, plays, vaca-tions. The husband of my friend also had Alzheimer’s, and he passed away a year and a half later. The two of us bonded even more and went to church, out to eat, etc. My friend developed health problems, and I began to take her to her appoint-ments.

She was going through

personal problems because of her financial situations that developed, as well. She began not wanting to go places because of embarrass-ment about her finances. It caused me great concern, yet it was so complex there was really nothing I could do. At times, I was concerned that she did not have adequate nutrition. She passed away a few months ago.

I didn’t realize I was investing so much of my time in trying to see her and care for her that I am out of the loop, so to speak. I’m trying

to make a concentrated effort to get out and do things with friends. I am fortunate to have many acquaintances and friends. But I’ve always heard that “two’s company and three’s a crowd.” How can I start back doing things without butting in on my friends who have bonded?

I do believe, to an extent, that being a widow takes away some of a woman’s self-esteem. I don’t want to get in anyone’s way.

– Seeking Guidance

Dear Seeking Guidance:

I’m so sorry for your loss.You sound incredibly

thoughtful – so much so that I can’t imagine that you would ever “butt in” in any way. Your friends may have gotten used to your not being around so often, so it could take some time for them to get back into the habit of remembering to keep you in the loop. You just need to be willing to initiate contact more often than you nor-mally would. The more you’re around the more they’ll remember to invite you to future outings.

And another option to get the ball rolling in your social life is to host a get-together with friends and friendly acquaintances. The group setting takes the pressure off and allows everyone to social-ize more casually. It might be true that two’s company and three’s a crowd – but four’s a party.

Dear Annie: I just had to respond to “Weight Watcher,” the woman who wrote in

about her husband’s gaining 15 pounds in 15 months. I think you missed something there. What you told her was good – but he sounds clini-cally depressed. If he would just visit his family physi-cian, he could get diagnosed and receive the proper meds. My husband went through the same thing. He didn’t know he was clinically depressed. (There’s a differ-ence between “feeling depressed” and “clinical depression.”) Once he was

put on the proper medica-tion, it made all the differ-ence in the world – weight-wise, moodwise, everything! It’s also a fact that as we age, it’s easier to become clinical-ly depressed.

– Been There

Dear Been There: You raise a great point about clin-ical depression and the fact that its signs are not always obvious. I encourage readers wondering about the symp-toms of depression to visit the National Institute of Mental Health’s website (https://www.nimh.nih.gov) or, better yet, talk to a doc-tor.

I’m so glad your husband’s doing better.

getting back in the loop

Happy people tend to make promises they won’t want to keep when the happiness has worn off. And sad people make decisions that make absolutely no sense in a better mood. Therefore, the happy shouldn’t promise, and the sad should not decide. If you can keep this from hap-pening, it will be a successful first day of Venus in social Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Curiosity is among your most useful talents, as it will lead you to experi-ence wonder, triumph, satisfaction and dissatisfaction. (Those last two will be equally important to a fulfilling life.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re good at uncovering the facts, hearing the facts through the fiction and giving the facts in an unbiased way. Today’s talent for truth will make you an invaluable part of a quest for justice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have developed some mental tricks to help you get around obstacles, avoid conflict and rise above trouble. You may not even be fully aware of exactly how you do this, but someone will notice and follow your lead today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). None of the saints were canonized for counting other people’s sins. It just doesn’t work that way. Those who focus on the sins of others are still making sin their focus.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is pos-sible to train your mind to be stronger than your emotions. You’ll seek this kind of mastery. Clearly, emotions run amok do not contribute in a positive way to what you’re trying to build in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The temptation to share prematurely will be there. Exciting things are coming together, for sure, but it’s still early. Work quietly and later your success will speak for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some people are easier to be around than others, but that doesn’t make a

relationship any more or less correct. An uncomfortable relationship can be the greatest teacher on earth, inspir-ing your highest and quickest evolu-tion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). From a distance, the rolling fog is mysterious, beautiful, mystical... but when you’re in the thick of it, it can be maddeningly disorienting. Seek higher mental ground. Avoid states of per-plexity by rising above them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Seeing the problems that really do exist isn’t pessimism -- far from it. This is actually a form of optimism. If you didn’t think there might be some-thing to be done about it, you wouldn’t have the guts to see it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The creative process is your joy. The products that come of it can bring some fleeting satisfaction as well, but it’s almost unmentionable in compari-son with the great feeling that comes from being in the flow of your work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not have all the skills you need to make something happen yet, but you’re getting them. Try again. Also, keep a record of your efforts so you can avoid making the same mis-take twice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While joy feels better, sadness can be beautiful, too. It can wash over you

like a wave in a moment of connec-tion that makes you appreciate and value your life.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 24). It’s been a while since you saw truly serene circumstances, but this year brings several moments of pro-found peace and beauty. You’ll appre-ciate them, too, because of all the bustle and hard work represented in other moments. There will be five significant gatherings, meaningful to your group and your legacy. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky num-bers are: 14, 3, 39, 6 and 12.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The first full week of the sun’s journey through Taurus, the sign of money, is a time when we notice anew the value of things. It should be noted that “price” and “value” are often used as interchangeable terms when in fact they are not the same thing at all. The price of a thing is the assigned amount of currency neces-sary to release its ownership. The price often involves what it costs to make a thing and position it for sale. However, savvy merchants know not to set their price based on how much it costs to produce and deliver an item. Rather, the price should be set at what people will pay – that is, the value of the thing.

Many things in life are difficult and costly to produce yet are not valued by customers and are therefore priced low. On the other side, many things people want do not cost much to produce but have a high price tag and are therefore more desirable. In either case, recognizing the key role of per-ception is the key to success in the marketplace.

Of course, the best things in life really are impossible to sum up in financial terms, though many will try during this first week of the Taurus sun.

The Boston Red Sox today traded left-handed pitcher Roenis Elias to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski made the announcement.

Elias, 29, began this season with Triple-A Pawtucket where he made four relief appear-

ances, going 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA (1 ER/7.1 IP) and nine strikeouts. Originally signed by Seattle as an international free agent in 2011, Elias was acquired by Boston via trade along with right-handed pitch-er Carson Smith in exchange for left-handed pitcher Wade Miley and right-handed pitch-er Jonathan Aro on December 7, 2015.

For his major league career, Elias has gone 15-21 with a 4.20 ERA (134 ER/287.0 IP) and 244 strikeouts in 55 games (50 starts) between Seattle (2014-15) and Boston (2016-17). With the Red Sox, the native of Guantanamo, Cuba was 0-1 with a 12.38 ERA (11 ER/8.0 IP) and four strikeouts in four games (one start).

Bhatia hangs on to win Junior Invitational at Sage Valley

Despite not having his A game during the final round, Akshay Bhatia’s ability to overcome adversity proved to be the deciding factor as he held on to claim the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley Golf Club, defeating Frankie Capan by one stroke.

Bhatia grinded to a 4-over 76, made seven bogeys and three birdies to finish at 2-under 214 for the tourna-ment to claim the champion-ship trophy and the prized gold jacket.

“I told myself all day that I’m still in control of this golf tournament no matter how many bogeys I made,” said Bhatia. “That’s how you have to think about this. Any time you’re leading like this on this big of a stage, it’s hard to keep it going. I’m defi-nitely proud of myself.”

The Wake Forest, North Carolina resident, Bhatia, built a four-stroke advantage heading into the final 18 holes after rounds of 68 and 70. Despite this command-ing lead, Bhatia knew his competitors would be com-ing after him.

“The two birdies I made [on 13 and 14] calmed me down,” said Bhatia, the reign-ing Boys Junior PGA Champion. “I knew I could make a couple mistakes coming in and still win this tournament. I’m just really excited. This is up there.

This is such a big accom-plishment.”

Bhatia was all square walking up to the par-3 12th tee box with round one co-leader, Sweden’s Ludvig Åberg, who bounced back from a disappointing sec-ond-round 75 by playing the first 11 holes bogey-free and 2-under. Åberg would dou-ble-bogey hole 12, opening up a two-stroke lead for Bhatia heading into the final six holes. Bhatia extended his lead to four with birdies at 13 and 14. With three bogeys to close out his round, this gap proved to be just enough.

Capan, of North Oaks, Minnesota, kept Bhatia in his sites as the round came to its final few holes. Following a stretch of four birdies between holes 4 and 10, Capan would rebound from bogeys at 11 and 13 with a birdie on the 15th to reach 2-under for the tournament. After bombing his drive to about 340 yards on the 452-yard par-4 18th, Capan put himself in great position to finish strong. A misexecuted wedge shot trickled off the green, and he was unable to get up-and-down for par.

“Starting the day, I felt like I was hitting good shots but I wasn’t able to capital-ize,” said Capan, who began 1-over through his first three holes. “I knew I was playing

well. [After the birdies at holes 4, 5, and 8] I was feel-ing really good about my game, especially going into the back nine. Overall, I felt good about my game coming into today. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Akshay shot 10-under; he’s a really good player.”

Robin Williams (73-75-70), Trent Phillips (73-73-72), and Ricky Castillo (72-70-76) fin-ished in a tie for third at 2-over 218. Åberg (68-75-76-219) settled for a solo sixth after he played his final seven holes 6-over-par.

The top 15 eligible finish-ers at the Junior Invitational will receive points towards qualifying for the 2018 United States Junior Ryder Cup Team. The 11th edition of the Junior Ryder Cup will be contested at Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France, September 24-25. In addition, the top two eligible finishers earn exemptions into the 2018 Boys Junior PGA Championship, which will be held at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, July 31–August 3.

The Junior Invitational at Sage Valley is widely recog-nized as one of the premier junior tournaments in the world. It annually attracts many of the game’s top-ranked junior golfers, creat-ing what is considered the toughest field in junior golf.
