It’s time to allow Uber to conduct business in Central Oregon. Both the cities of Bend and Redmond will soon consider adding the San Francisco-based technology company into the area to provide more transportation options for residents and tourists, and it’s high time the region has those app-based options. Uber and other companies such as Lyft reflect the way more and more business is conducted – in this case connecting a quick ride for hire by using an app on a smart phone.

In many cases, it’s cheaper and quicker than traditional taxi service.

Recently, several cab company owners and Uber officials met with Bend and Redmond city officials to explore the idea of allowing Uber here.

Cab owners were vocally adamant; they don’t want Uber competition here, and they say if it is allowed, Uber should be required to play by the same rules and regulations required of cabbies.

Cab companies also say Uber should be required to have the same safety inspections for their independent contractor’s vehicles, the same minimum insurance required of cab companies, and no special loading zones or lanes at airports or other areas, among other concerns.

During that local meeting, Uber representatives assured Bend and Redmond officials that they require extensive background checks of drivers, require regular vehicle maintenance checks and certification,

and maintain a standard of insurance coverage to protect themselves and their riders. Still, cab representatives argue they are required to maintain more insurance than Uber, and they want a minimum insurance requirement consistent with cab rates.

City officials admit they need to update transportation codes for the region before giving the green light to Uber. Uber was forced to pull out of Eugene because it did not meet specific codes, and we believe consumers are the loser because of that disagreement. Let’s not enable the same thing to happen in Bend and Redmond because of poorly-written or outdated codes.

While local cab companies argue that adding Uber service to the region would result in dollars leaving the local economy, Uber argues the opposite, citing studies that show adding Uber in Portland was not only good for Uber, but also resulted in more business for traditional cab drivers.

A free marketplace is good for consumers. There will be more options for those who need rides. There will be more options during the heavy summer tourism cycle. More competition will force cab companies to continue to up their game, resulting in better service.

It’s time for more options in Central Oregon, but when updating transportation codes, we urge city officials in both Redmond and Bend to make sure the playing field is even for all. No one company should have an unfair advantage over locally-based businesses that have grown from the ground up in Central Oregon. When that’s accomplished, let’s Uber! SW

remember bitter rivalries.

Also, during this time I remember going to our local grocery store and seeing magazines with Donald Trump on the cover, the words BANKRUPTCY, MISTRESS, DIVORCE in large headlines.

The logging industry did wane, my parents went their separate ways. My mom moved to Salem and went to college with me and my sister in tow, while my dad and brother moved to Central Oregon, where they got good jobs in construction. The company they worked for built the Forum shopping center east of town and developed the Old Mill. My brother cleaned the smoke stacks in harness, going up and down, scrubbing the old mill stacks to a gleaming, shining beacon of Bend.

During this time of growth and development, I heard Donald Trump on Howard Stern demeaning women and boasting of his playboy lifestyle. Bragging about how he could get any woman he wanted, at anytime.

Skip to now, I have a job I love, a husband who is an Iraq Veteran, 4 children, we have health care, two cars, we own a home, my husband owns his own business, we are living the American Dream right now.

America is already great and I cringe every time I see or hear that statement.

My fears of a Donald Trump presidency, reside not only in the fact that he has insulted a majority of Americans, immigrants, his own party, POWs, Gold Star Families, the world! My mistrust and disgust of this man goes back to my childhood. My children now get to hear and see this man as a leader for our country, and that disturbs me greatly.

When I talk about Trump and his impending Presidency, it is not to defend Hillary Clinton or her incompetency, or to be put into a category of a Democrat, liberal, hipster, millennial. I am not un-American for speaking out against my dislike, mistrust and skepticism of a Trump Presidency. I am not a rioter for marching against what I believe he stands for. I am not a cry-baby, female having a meltdown. I am 100 percent environmentally conscious, pro-care*, redneck Oregon American, born and raised.

We all deserve better than the two choices given and we deserve better than to be categorized, and divided. Next time I hope to be able to vote for who I would like to see President and not be forced into choosing worse, over worser, for fear of the worser choice winning.

That is why we MUST revisit the Electoral College, it isn’t working for most of us, no matter what position you take, America deserves to not be divided into two parties that are really just divided themselves. *Pro-care is what I’m referring to as, not pro-choice, not pro-life.

CLIMATE CHANGE Being menopausal, I experience personal climate change on a daily basis. Putting all humor aside, I am compelled to discuss the fact that our new administration is planning to negate the funding for what we agreed to under the Paris agreement. This international effort to put forth changes to alter carbon emissions that negatively affect our planet is a cooperative effort and only a start to making change and keeping us from a tipping point. Science is not a liberal concept, and nature causes effect over all political boundaries. This harsh reality has been marketed as a “Chinese hoax,” and many have taken the propaganda seriously and ignore the reality of science, and keep the attitude of “I can’t see it from my house.”

Being an environmentalist should not be a bad word as it is our responsibility to steward what we have been given. All other politics don’t make a helluva difference if we have wrecked the earth due to our ignorance or selfishness. The clock really is ticking...and no matter what your political persuasion, we all live here and need to own what we are passing on to our grandchildren.

If you care, now is the time to get involved. Write your legislators. Find an environmental group to speak your voice.

If you don’t care, I implore you to open

your mind and consider looking at fact and science, and do some reading on the subject.

Global warming is real.

We are all in this together. Love.

No Fish

Federal legislation combined with a drought year results in trouble for trout on the Crooked River

7

By Brian Jennings

Bad News for Fishermen and the Economy “I was here fishing a week ago and there was nobody here. Two years ago I couldn’t find a place to fish,” said Mike Tripp, President of the Deschutes Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Tripp says the Crooked River is considered a “treasure” of recreational sport fishing in Central Oregon.

A 2013 ODFW survey showed anglers from 30 different states and at least two foreign countries spent over 46,000 hours angling on the Crooked River from Bowman to Prineville.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 48 / December 1, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

T

he Crooked River below Bowman Dam and the Prineville Reservoir is regarded as a blue ribbon fishery for Oregon’s native Redband trout.

It may be highly regarded by anglers—but at the moment, that image has been dealt a serious blow.

At the heart of the issue is federal legislation passed in December 2014, which allocated water primarily for irrigation and flood control purposes.

As a result of conserving water in the reservoir, the native trout numbers— along with mountain whitefish, salmon and steelhead populations—were decimated by extremely low winter flows, coupled with high water releases in the spring as the irrigation season got underway.

Releases from the dam have resulted in the natural flow regime being reversed from high flows in late winter and low flows in summer.

Compounding the problem was the 2014-15 drought, which resulted in the third-lowest water levels at Prineville Reservoir behind Bowman Dam. Water flows from the dam were reduced to 35 cubic feet per second (cfs) during the winter to conserve water for summer. The low flows allowed for freezing, resulting in a much-reduced food supply for the fish and a decrease in population.

The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife has tracked fish populations in the Crooked River since 1989. According to fish biologist Brett Hodgson, 2015 saw the most significant decline over a one-year period since tracking was implemented.

“In 2015 we went from over 4,000 Redband Trout per mile in the upper two-mile stretch of the river below Bowman Dam to less than 500 in 2016,” Hodgson said.

The river from Bowman Dam to Prineville is considered a priority core area, with the best habitat along the entire river for salmonid populations that return to the base of the dam.

ODFW estimates that anglers spent approximately $600,000 from May through December of that year, with much of the spending happening in Prineville.

Avid fly fisherman and former President of Central Oregon Fly Fishers, Dave Dunahay, added, “You just needed to be out here and you knew something was not right. People quit coming. The anecdotal information among the fishing community was: Don’t bother to come out here because there’s no fish.”

Dunahay says the river has historically been a great place for beginning fly fishers to learn to fish. On some of his best days, Dunahay says he has caught and released over 50 fish ranging up to 18 inches in length. The Crooked River is one of the few yearround fisheries in Central Oregon.

Possible Solutions Bowman Dam was completed in 1961 to store water for irrigation and to control flooding around Prineville. The Ochoco Irrigation District has 900 patrons and supplies water to 20,000 acres in the region. In December 2014, the Crooked River Water & Jobs Security Act was passed into law. Sponsored

by Congressman Greg Walden and Sen. Jeff Merkley, the federal legislation assured irrigators that they’d have water. The legislation also allowed for uncontracted water to be used to enhance the fishery.

But what legislation can’t guarantee is adequate water supplies during drought conditions. That occurred as the legislation was being implemented, and it contributed to the low winter release from the dam. Russ Rhoden, manager of the Ochoco Irrigation District, said, “I don’t think 2014-2015 was caused by the legislation. Again, the reservoir was down to its third lowest carry-over since the beginning of the Bowman Dam project in 1961.”

Rhoden noted that the legislation is new, and the Bureau of Reclamation and other water managers are in an implementation learning phase. “Obviously, one thing that didn’t help was we were in drought conditions.”

Rhoden says fishermen weren’t the only ones who suffered. He points out that irrigation was also reduced from an average of 3 acre feet on average to 2 acre feet. “I know winter flow is the sticking point, and hopefully that will be worked out. I know the resource managers are learning some things out of this.”

Anderson says he's not a fan of the legislation. “Unfortunately, when the legislation was being written, it was written by attorneys and members of the congressional staffs. There was almost no biological input, which was unfortunate.” Anderson has conducted studies on the river and is the author of the book, “Fishing Oregon’s Crooked River.” He says ODFW is responsible for managing fish in the state’s waters, but he maintains that no one consulted them when the legislation was drafted.

ODFW’s Hodgson says his agency served in an advisory role but not in a decision-making capacity. ODFW has had meetings with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service pertaining to flow recommendations that, according to Hodgson, were ignored by federal agencies. “We ended up with the situation that we had this past winter when flows got down to 35 cubic feet per second and we had the negative impact on fish.”

“I think everyone was discouraged and disappointed by what happened last year, and no one wants it to happen again,” Hodgson says. “We’re looking at alternative flow strategies, specifically on the need to maintain a suitable minimum flow during the winter.” Asked what that flow would be, he stated 80 cubic feet per second, which is the level currently being released from the dam.

Another major problem impacting fish counts below Bowman is the dam structure. During high water release volumes in the spring and summer, elevated levels of nitrogen are released.

This situation creates what is known as “nitrogen bubble disease” that kills fish. Hodgson says that problem requires a more long-term solution.

“Our hope is that we can work with the Bureau of Reclamation and others to ultimately come up with some kind of engineering fix to address that situation.”

As federal agencies grapple with managing water levels in the Crooked River below Bowman Dam, all seem optimistic about the future. Hodgson says the fishery can bounce back quickly – within two to three years if properly managed. Legislation skeptic John Anderson agrees. “If ODFW can continue to have input into the decision-making process every year, I would feel much better about this river being protected for fishing.”

Tripp of Trout Unlimited thinks the legislation can be retained and still work for fish. “That’s our position,” he says. As to meeting all needs, Tripp is confident that there can be adequate water supplies for agriculture as well as the fishery. Referring to the fishery, Tripp says, “Clearly it’s a resource to be protected.” SW

Still Dreaming

BY NICOLE VULCAN

W

hen longtime Bend resident María Veliz was in high school, she was a 4.0 student. With her academic standing, she may have been planning for college—except that during that time she also began to fully understand her immigration status. Brought to the U.S. by her undocumented parents at age 9, without residency or citizenship status, receiving financial aid for college—or earning enough money to pay for college outright—was out of reach.

“I found out that it was just going to be harder for me, so I was just like, ‘what’s the point of even going to get a career if I’m not even going to be able to work in the country,’” Veliz says.

Facing an uncertain future, Veliz dropped out of high school, eventually earning her GED and working low-paying jobs in fast food and caregiving. That was before 2012 and President Obama’s executive action, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA gives undocumented people who came to the U.S. before their 16th birthday the option to apply for a work permit and Social Security card, so long as they’ve never been convicted of a serious crime, are currently in school or have graduated or earned a GED, and who were living in the U.S. as of June 2012.

While the program doesn’t offer the same legal status that would be offered under the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act—a bill in Congress that has been continually shot down since its introduction in 2001—DACA does give people like Veliz a chance to work legally. She—along with more than 844,000 others—have applied since 2012. Of those, 78 percent are Mexican, more than 7 percent are from Central America, 10,000 are from South Korea, and thousands more are from India, the Philippines and Poland, according to U.S. News & World Report.

“It wasn’t easy because I had to go back to when I was in elementary school to get transcript information and all that kind of stuff just to prove that I had actually been here for that amount of time,” Veliz says. “As

As undocumented residents in the U.S. wonder what's ahead for immigration reform, the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon has pledged to, "Protect and defend the human dignity of immigrants, refugees, and those who fear deportation. Our churches will be sanctuaries for those whose safety and security is threatened."

soon as I was approved and I got that (DACA) it was like, 'oh my god…I finally have a chance of focusing on something better other than working at a restaurant.'”

Veliz now works at a clinic, earning a wage that allows her to provide for her three daughters. But with a promise by President-elect Donald Trump to roll back DACA and to stop subsequent efforts to grant amnesty to some other undocumented workers, some people, including Veliz, are worried.

During a speech in August, Trump said: “For those here illegally today who are seeking legal status, they will have one route and one route only. To return home and apply for re-entry like everybody else under the rules of the new legal immigration system that I have outlined today.” In a later speech in August, Trump said he was open to a “softening” on some immigration policies—but it’s

recipients that their immigration status is private, but not without risk. “Since DACA was created in 2012, anyone deciding whether or not to apply for it has had to weigh the benefits and risks of applying. When you provide information about yourself to immigration authorities—by submitting the DACA application—you are taking a risk,” NILC said on its website.

“DACA holders are very concerned that their parents might suffer consequences since their information was shared on the application. And in the event that a Trump administration cancels the DACA program, they are super concerned about their own well-being and that of their children—since without some other remedy, work will be difficult to come by," said Brad Porterfield, executive director of Central Oregon’s Latino Community Association.

"... WHEN YOU MEET ONE OF THESE BRIGHT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAS GRADUATED FROM ONE OF OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS, WHO HAS BEEN FRIENDS WITH ONE OF OUR KIDS, WHO WE HAVE CHEERED ON AT ONE OF OUR SPORTING EVENTS, AND YOU THINK THAT KID NOW DOESN’T HAVE A PLACE TO GO… IT BREAKS YOUR HEART.” —SCOTT COOPER, NEIGHBORIMPACT not yet clear what that will mean.

The morning after the election, Veliz says she came to work crying and felt the need to come clean to co-workers—and eventually her boss. “To them it was just another president, so I don’t think they fully understood why it had affected me,” Veliz says. “The response that I got was like, 'wow, I had no idea that people live with this here, and you know I’m sorry for my ignorance around this subject and I didn’t know,' and so I feel pretty supported at work.”

THE EMPLOYER DILEMMA On Nov. 15, the Los Angeles-based National Immigration Law Center issued new recommendations about what DACA recipients should do now. First, NILC reminds DACA

At Central Oregon’s NeighborImpact, Executive Director Scott Cooper says his organization is aware of having several DACA recipients on its staff, playing a vital role in serving the organization’s Hispanic population.

“We’ve gotten some great workers of various documented statuses because the hardest thing to find is a bilingual population,” Cooper says. “There’s a great deal of competition for bilingual speakers and so if you’ve got good folks and they’ve got papers, you’re delighted to be able to hire them.”

Still, Cooper says he’s talked extensively with his human resources department about what could come.

“We’ve very much talked about it and what we will do is follow the law, whatever

the law is,” Cooper says. “When you receive one-third of your funding, as we do, from the federal government, you don’t try and take high stances in opposition to the federal government.”

Still, it’s not easy for Cooper. “It’s all well and good to talk about this in theory, but when you meet one of these bright young people who has graduated from one of our local high schools, who has been friends with one of our kids, who we have cheered on at one of our sporting events, and you think that kid now doesn’t have a place to go…it breaks your heart,” Cooper says.

“The doctor that I work with was like, 'you don’t deserve to be dealing with this fear right now,'” Veliz laments.

BRACING FOR IMPACT For the moment, Veliz says she’s attending meetings organized by local activist Greg Delgado, giving people information about what to do if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents come to their door.

“A lot of people just go into panic mode and they don’t realize that they also do have rights,” Veliz says. She’s also quick to point out that those rights don’t include government handouts. “A lot of people feel that with this Social Security card I can claim welfare, I can claim food stamps, I can get free rent assistance, but I don’t get any sort of benefits with that. This Social Security card is just for work purposes.”

“Let’s hope none of this comes to pass and keep our eyes on the prize which is comprehensive immigration reform that needs to happen BEFORE any changes to DACA are made and BEFORE any enforcement of non-criminal immigrants currently living and working in the U.S.,” says Porterfield.

Meanwhile, Veliz says she’s enjoying what could be the last couple months of gainful employment. When her girls ask what will happen to the family, Veliz says, “It’s hard because I want to tell them it’s going to be OK but I don’t know if that’s for sure. I don’t know if we are going to be OK.” SW

aitlin Anne Webster’s voice was born for the blues. While her music ranges from country to blues to pop to some lovely hybrid of the three, there’s a twang to her that gives each word an air of playful sadness that swells the heart.

Her debut EP, “Black Moon,” includes five songs that only resemble one another in their honesty and self-examination. There are hints of Fiona Apple’s brilliance and Jolie Holland’s swagger, but Webster takes the sheen off and makes it all wholly her own. “I have lots of influences and listen to a broad range of styles, everything from Outkast to Lucinda Williams,” says Webster. “I grew up idolizing Patsy Cline and Otis Redding. They’re two of my favorite singers. There are so many, though.

Wendy Rene, Wanda Jackson, Peggy Lee, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.”

Each one of her songs feels like a lifeline to the lonely and the wandering. “I write songs and play music at least in part as a way of connecting with people,” says Webster. “I believe people are basically all the same despite our differences and varying backgrounds, upbringing, etc. We’ve all experienced loss that felt inescapable, longing that felt like it couldn’t be satisfied, and joy that can’t be wrangled. I just want to share in those things with people and I hope folks feel a little less alone when they hear my songs.”

A quote from Neil Young changed

her songwriting process overnight.

“Most of the time, I’m playing guitar and the chords or melody I’m messing with elicits a thought or feeling and I build on that,” says Webster. “Sometimes I’m doing dishes or driving my car and words and melody come to me.

I always try to follow the ideas as they come. I listened to an interview with Neil Young once where he mentioned the import of seeing where those ideas go when they come to you. It stuck with me. It was something I always tried to do, but hearing an artist I respect so much say that reinforced it for me. It’s very rare that I sit down with the intent of writing on a specific theme. One exception is a recent protest song. I wrote it after Trump’s ‘locker room’ speech got released. I was fired up and anxious about the election and the general climate of fear and misogyny Trump represents.”

Those five songs from “Black Moon” will make you a fan of Caitlin Anne Webster. Her range is far and wide, with a voice that seems to resonate from somewhere beautiful and far away. Expect to see much more of her in the years to come. SW

Monday, Dec. 5, 6pm The Open Door, 303 W Hood Ave. Sisters No cover

Saturday 3

HIP-HOP—Eazy-E’s second son straight out of Compton, Baby Eazy-E is following in his father’s footsteps. His track, “Still Cruisin’ on a Hustler’s Ambition,” with 50 Cent, is pretty great and shocking how much he sounds like his old man. If you’re not sure about him, check out his remix of “Wobble” and get some of that ‘90s-style West Coast rap you’ve been missing. // 8pm. Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend. $15-$20.

FESTIVE—The Christmas Parade is an annual tradition in Bend, put on by a driven group of volunteers for over 20 years.

The theme of this year’s parade is “All I Want For Christmas,” with Santa making his traditional appearance in a red sleigh, pulled by reindeer! // Noon. Downtown Bend. Route: Down Newport Ave., Wall St., Franklin Ave. into Riverside Blvd., ending on Tumalo Ave., Bend. Free.

BABY EAZY-E

BEND CHRISTMAS PARADE

KUNG FU & PARTICLE

NEW FUNK—With a sound that rides the line between electro-fusion and dance music, this is the show to attend if you’re looking for your music loud and danceable. Still not sure what to expect? Think EDM meets funky 70s. Arriving in Bend with their fellow East-coasters Particle, the two bands are sure to liven up your Sunday night. // 9 pm. Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend. $15 adv., $20 door.

BANJO—When someone is acknowledged by (fellow banjo player) Steve Martin as one of the best banjo players in the USA, then you know you’re getting something special. Banjo player extraordinaire Danny Barnes is a big draw all by himself, but add in the lively “jamgrass” sounds of Cascade Crescendo, and you’ve got a great show that’s well worth your time. // 7:30pm. Old Stone Performing Arts Center, 157 NW Franklin Ave., Bend. $15.

Tuesday 6

FLAMINGOSIS

GUITAR—Australia’s Tommy Emmanuel has been regaling audiences with his legendary guitar skills for close to five decades. With two Grammy nominations under his belt, this is yet another example of the world-class musical acts that Bend seems to draw in spades. This show will feature numbers from Tommy’s “All I Want for Christmas” 2011 release, including many familiar holiday songs. In addition, the second set features friends Pat Bergeson, John Knowles and Annie Sellick. // 7:30pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $39.50, $49.50.

ELECTRONIC—Flamingosis’ sound is so varied and eclectic that it’s hard to slap a label on it. He takes the thick beats of J Dilla, the pop culture influences of Mike Relm and the infectious grooves of Nightmares on Wax, and creates something wholly his own. Explore “Great Hair” or “Bright Moments” to get an idea of what you’ll be in for during a live performance. // 9pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $10.

PREZIDENT BROWN

HOLIDAY—This festive race is put on by the Arthritis Foundation to raise funds for research and awareness.

Bank of the Cascades, 1100 NW Wall St., Bend. Visit jbr.org for more information.

REGGAE—Prezident Brown has been making some of the best Dancehall reggae for three decades and has progressively modernized his sound each year.

He’s one of the few Dancehall artists who don’t sound like a throwback to the ‘80s or ‘90s; instead, he’s constantly pushing up against what people imagine when they think of reggae music. // 10pm. The Capitol, 190 NW Oregon Ave., Bend. $15.

Cozy Up with a Good Book “A Novel Idea” gets everyone on the same page

GUNG HO FOR SHOWS

By Hayley Jo Murphy

By Annette Benedetti classes, and historical presentations, all intended to highlight the chosen novel and inspire community conversations.

Goodrich says, “Over the years we’ve picked books that people absolutely love and we’ve also had selections that readers have disliked, but the good thing is that whether people love or hate the book, the conversations are happening.”

The “A Novel Idea” unveiling celebration is a free event that will include an annual trivia quiz, light appetizers and no-host beer and wine. The program officially kicks off Saturday, April 8, 2017, but once the book is announced, there’s nothing stopping you from getting started.

ideas, and other perspectives through the lens of a well-told story.”

The 2017 reading selection promises to explore new ground and organizers expect participation to be at an all-time high. In its first year, “A Novel Idea” had just over 400 participants and offered eight programs. “Last year we offered 22 programs that served over 6,000 people, including 150 local book club members,” says Goodrich.

“The programs are always free thanks to the generous support of the Deschutes Public Library Foundation and other sponsors.”

“A Novel Idea” was created with the goal of promoting community engagement through the reading and discussing of a single book. Close to two dozen cultural events based on the 2017 selection are currently planned in an effort to build and expand on the story’s themes and help facilitate discussion and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Past events have included cooking classes, drumming workshops, art

For the 13th year in a row, the Deschutes Public Library Foundation is offering “A Novel Idea…Read Together,” the program based on a single book, designed to bring residents together for an ongoing cultural learning experience. On Dec. 2, the foundation will reveal the 2017 reading selection during a free community celebration at the Downtown Bend Library.

disparate elements, but somehow it worked. The kewpie ties everything together and acts as the glue for a dish where each bite tastes completely different than what came before.

I also ordered the spicy miso ramen, filled with a mild pork broth, noodles, pork sirloin, pork belly, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and egg. The spice level was dead on, with the initial taste having a solid bite but without too much finish— which could overpower everything else in the bowl. The pork belly was so tender and sweet it tasted like candy and the sirloin was shredded almost like pulled pork. The Japanese herbs and spices in the broth soaked into the pork so perfectly that each

The Japanese herbs and spices in the broth soaked into the pork so perfectly that each bite of the dish became sweeter and more savory.

The kewpie (a rice vinegar mayo) combined with the nori (edible seaweed) and the bonito (dried, fermented and smoked tuna) danced across the top of the pancake, making the dish look like it’s teeming with delicious life. It was so trippy that my dining companion was talking about acid flashbacks.

The O-ko-no-mi-yaki was tasty.

It was heavy on the onions, which normally would overpower the other

My dining partner had the vegetarian Ajii curry with green papaya, carrots, onion, bok choy and brown rice. The curry flavor was light with a strong coconut base that blended well with the papaya and bok choy.

The rice soaked up that coconut like

something fierce, making the dish almost seem like a dessert by the end.

Depending on your regional preferences of curry, the Ajii curry was very much of the Japanese persuasion and not very comparable to Thai, Vietnamese or other Asian curry flavors.

Ajii makes everything pretty simple. You order up front and get your food brought to you quickly.

Everything had such a different flavor profile that anyone interested in Asian cuisine or Chef Kim’s signature excellence in sourcing quality ingredients will find something to love. In Bend, restaurants come and go like the seasons, but based on how busy it was just a few weeks after opening, Ajii should be here to stay. SW

hen I asked my parents if they wanted to eat at Ajii Asian Kitchen with me, they asked me what kind of food they served. I explained it was a Japanese rice and noodle place that specializes in ramen from Chef Joe Kim, the brains behind the delectable 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar. They looked at me like I was the stupidest person they had ever met (which is probably accurate) and my mom said, “Jared, I spent years eating Top Ramen. Why would I go get that in a restaurant?”

It’s a valid question, but the ramen dishes at Ajii are about as far from that type of ramen as you could possibly imagine. The menu backs away from the fusion aspect of 5 Fusion and doubles down on the Asian, making each dish we tried flush with complex flavors without tasting like anything else I’ve tried in Central Oregon.

The location is unassuming: the Westside Safeway shopping center near Taco del Mar and Starbucks.

The interior is simple, modern and comfortable. The lack of flashiness is smart because it once again places the impetus on the quality of the food as opposed to a creating a space that’s so trendy that people forsake quality for comfort. Chef Kim says, “I can make the traditional healthy and affordable food that I love. People can relax and enjoy it on site, yet it’s just as good taking to eat in your own home.”

We started with the O-ko-no-miyaki, a savory Japanese pancake that can be filled with veggies, kimchi, chicken or steak. It was also filled with onion, cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots and bacon after being topped with a kewpie sauce, nori and bonito.

ith any road trip, the emphasis rightly deserves to be on the roads taken. If time is abundant and solitude is one of the main priorities, there are few better options than U.S. Route 2, which starts outside Seattle, goes on until Ontario, and is mostly a barren two-lane blacktop in between.

Spokane, covered here last week, is the largest population center U.S. Route 2 runs through. Beyond that the highway traverses the Idaho panhandle and Montana’s Glacier National Park, going up through the snowy mountains before racing along the northern Great Plains where bison, and the tribes that hunted them, used to be everywhere.

The road eventually runs along Michigan’s Upper Peninsula before reaching Montreal.

U.S. Route 2 is home to a lot of sleepy towns—some still industrial and prosperous, some successfully remaking themselves into resort towns, and some which look and act like Nixon is still president. But like everywhere else in the United States, craft beer is growing. Some of the highlights: MickDuff’s Brewing (Sandpoint, ID) This town on the shore of Idaho’s largest lake, just a few miles away from Canada, is home to a successful brewery taproom that allows dogs and offers a wide variety. The Tipsy Toehead blonde is good after a day out on the beach, although a dunkel or

bourbon-barrel stout is better during the frigid winters. Sandpoint also has an oddly wide selection of sketchyyet-friendly dive bars, including the smoking-permitted Tam O’ Shanter.

Meadowlark Brewing (Sidney, MT) Sidney and the rest of eastern Montana, near the border to North Dakota, has grown rapidly in recent years due to the Bakken shale-oil boom. Its downtown is Old West—the old and dirty kind, not the sort one sees in Sisters—but in the midst of it is this spot, looking almost out of place with the clean hipster feel indoors.

Grab a Snowflake vanilla winter ale with a sandwich and some knoephla soup, a chicken/dumpling stew that’s everywhere in this region.

Rhombus Guys Brewing (Grand Forks, ND) Located in another large old building in another nicely-aged Midwestern town, this is one that’s been lovingly renovated since a flood in 1997 ravaged the downtown. It says a lot about beer’s advance across the U.S. that a place like this can have a kettle sour ale on tap (rhubarb was available at the last visit) and the locals can’t get enough of it. Visit the nearby JL Beers, a Dakotan beer-and-sandwich chain, if you’re nostalgic for Deschutes—or maybe Bell’s or Odell Brewing, our hometown giant’s big-craft rivals in the Midwest. SW

A

small young boy is chased through a bad neighborhood of Liberty City, Miami, by a bunch of kids yelling “faggot.” He breaks into a room in an abandoned motel, puts his head on his knees and cries. His tears aren’t those of panic or fear, but of exhaustion. As if he knows that his life will continue to pile on these moments until he can’t survive another day.

“Moonlight” tells the story of that young man in three different time periods: as a middle schooler, as a high schooler and as a grown man. Each vignette is titled by the name he’s using in that time period. As a child he’s called Little, as a teenager he’s trying to be called by his birth name, Chiron, and as an adult he’s just Black.

Little’s mother, Paula (played by an electrifying Naomie Harris), is an abusive crackhead who throws out love in a way that feels much more like violence. Little meets a kindly crack dealer, Juan (an award-guaranteed Mahershala Ali), who has an instant love for the boy and tries to teach him lessons to become a man. These

sections of the film are heartbreaking because we can see the man Little could become, but he’s so quiet and withdrawn that the world seems like it will swallow him whole.

The next section follows Chiron as he deals with some heavy bullying in high school. He’s not sure of his sexuality, but is simultaneously terrified and curious to explore what that means. Being gay doesn’t seem like an option for him, so instead he remains the quiet and withdrawn boy named Little even as he searches for what it means to be Chiron.

The final segment sees Chiron as a man. He’s not small anymore. In fact, he’s a towering and imposing figure that drives fear into the people around him. But inside he’s not even Chiron anymore. He’s still Little, wondering if it’s safe yet outside the walls of that abandoned motel.

“Moonlight” isn’t just one of the best films of the year, it’s one of the most important films ever made.

There is a purity and an honesty to the film that’s going to make the film

high on most critics’ “Best Of ” lists for 2016. The story it tells is simple and the film doesn’t try to manufacture any emotion in order to manipulate the audience.

I found tears streaming down my face multiple times in the film, but not because of sadness or joy. There are moments of such quiet profundity and beauty that the tears were an almost involuntary response to the flawless images, words and performances.

The three actors playing Chiron are perfect. They all feel connected, like cuts of the same cloth. Barry Jenkins writes and directs the film with such power and grace that “Moonlight” feels closer to a poem than a motion picture. It’s a poem of rage to a media that fundamentally misunderstands young black men, a poem to each and every one of us who hopes there’s enough empathy in the world to make us not feel forgotten, and a poem of peace to those questioning their own sexuality and hoping that it really does get better.

“Così fan tutte” is opera for lovers.

All Women Are Like What?

Daniel Smith

It’s 1942 and Brad Pitt is Max Vatan, a Canadian officer with British Intelligence who parachutes into Casablanca to assassinate a Nazi ambassador. His contact is the French Resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour (played by Marion Cotillard), who is already stationed in Casablanca playing Vatan’s loving wife.

The first section of the film is their mission in Africa, which chronicles them killing Nazis and falling in love for realsies.

Once the mission is over, Vatan asks Beausejour to come with him to London to be his bride. We jump forward a year and see they now have an infant daughter and a happy marriage. That is destroyed when Vatan’s bosses tell him there is a possibility that his wife is actually a Nazi spy. High-tension spying and uncomfortable silences ensue.

Pitt does something weird here.

He tamps all of his charisma down in order to play a stiff and chilly Canadian. This feels like an old school movie star performance, like something Gregory Peck or Sterling Hayden would have pulled off in some forgotten war film of the 1950s.

Cotillard is so warm and lovely that it’s easy to think that Pitt is just flat in the film, but it’s actually a performance built mostly in his eyes and his silences. This is the most restrained he has ever been on film.

“Allied” is beautiful to look at, with some of the finest cinematography of the year by Don Burgess—really on a roll this year after his sumptuous work on “The Conjuring 2.” Zemeckis

Pitt and Cotillard fall in love as Casablanca burns.

is a master, so the film is always fascinating to look at even in the flabby middle section.

If the script for “Allied” had spent more time getting us into the heads of the characters, then the film would have been a heartbreaking look at marriage, identity and compartmentalization, but because we never care about them as much as we should, the film is really just a well made diversion. Although, maybe it’s better than I think it is. Check back with me in 20 years. SW "Allied"

Dir. Robert Zemeckis Grade: BNow playing at Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX and Sisters Movie House

I am in no way an opera aficionado, but one of the more popular shows in the canon is Mozart's “Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti.” First performed in Vienna in 1790, it wasn’t considered risqué upon initial release, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries it was downright scandalous.

Ferrando and Guglielmo are two officers who believe their respective fiancees will be faithful. The character Don Alfonso, meanwhile, thinks a faithful woman is a myth, wagering he can prove in one day that both women would be unfaithful.

A story like this wouldn’t play well if written in 2016, but 200+ years ago gender studies were a bit different. Even the title, “Così fan tutte,” means “All women are like that.” This version is staged in a theater, so the shenanigans take place onstage, backstage and around the opera house.

Even if the storyline is offensive to you, seeing and hearing a piece of art from that time gives a good sense of how far we’ve come. SW “Così Fan Tutte”

hen looking at movies that are rightly considered modern classics, it’s easy to forget how some of them flopped commercially and critically when they were first released. Films like “Blade Runner,” “Brazil,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “Citizen Kane,” “Fight Club” and even “It’s a Wonderful Life” were met with audience disinterest and critical shrugs.

A big reason for a great film flopping is timing. “Blade Runner” opened two weeks after “E.T.” and the cerebral nature of the film isn’t what people were expecting. Also, sometimes a film is so far ahead of its time (like “Citizen Kane” and “Brazil”) that the cultural zeitgeist wasn’t prepared for it.

That’s not to say “Allied” is remotely as classic as any of those movies, but it’s definitely going to play much better in 20 years than it will today. There’s a timelessness to the direction, story and performances that feels like a throwback to a bygone era in filmmaking. Still, with Robert Zemeckis in the director’s chair, his adoration of modern special effects technology means the film feels beholden to two time periods of filmmaking.

Quite a few films of the 1940s and 50s were about putting fairly blank characters into difficult situations and then seeing what choices they made. “Allied” feels like a part of that tradition with two characters (who both play as fairly enigmatic) that are given a series of impossible choices to navigate themselves through.

in a WWII throwback about a couple with some deadly secrets. The film is always entertaining and gorgeous to look at, but the script is somewhat undercooked with its characters, so we never care too much about their story. Even still, “Allied” is one of those movies that theaters were built to show: big, loud and bombastic with good performances and a timeless feel. See full review on page 27.

ARRIVAL: A cerebral, science fiction think piece about the human race being confronted by aliens who want nothing more than to communicate ideas we have no way of understanding.

Amy Adams plays a linguist who is brought in to decipher the circuituous and complicated alien language as world leaders struggle to decide whether to nuke the ETs into the atmosphere.

The story basically boils down to people from different cultures and countries learning to work together, but it surprisingly never becomes cheesy or preachy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House BAD SANTA 2: As much fun as it is watching

Billy Bob Thornton act like a roguish slob, too many years might have passed between this one and the original for people to care very much.

Also, bad manners and brash political incorrectness might be things that many people aren't really in the mood for right now. “Bad Santa 2” is definitely going to suffer from some bad timing, regardless of how funny it is. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema

every serious young actor must get in amazing shape to make a boxing drama. This one stars Miles Teller as world champion boxer Vinnie Pazienza, who, after a horrific car accident, takes the long road back to recovery and victory. Everyone likes an underdog story and Teller is always reliable, regardless of how terrible the material is, so this could end up being a fantastic little sleeper. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DOCTOR STRANGE: This is the 14th film in

the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which combines the films of Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Doctor Strange promises to be the weirdest and trippiest film yet out of Marvel Studios, and with actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen, it's bound to be entertaining.

The Master of Mystical Arts should be a perfect addition to the Marvel Universe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The springboard into a new five-

film franchise set in the Harry Potter Universe.

Its 1920s NYC setting keeps the film from feeling like a retread of the previous franchise, but it will be interesting to see if there's enough material to stretch out over that many movies. Eddie Redmayne plays Newt Scamander, a man whose mission in life is to protect rare and magical creatures. As much fun as it is watching Scamander get up to hijinks in America, it still feels like there's something missing. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

GIMME DANGER: A documentary by master

filmmaker Jim Jarmusch about Iggy and the Stooges? That sounds like a match made in cinephile heaven. “Gimme Danger” puts the Stooges in their proper context historically, politically

and culturally while telling an entertaining story about one of rock's most enigmatic figures. Tin Pan Theater

HACKSAW RIDGE: Mel Gibson returns to

the director's chair for the first time since 2006's excellent “Apocalypto.” His alcoholism and generally awful behavior kept him in director's jail for almost a decade, so “Hacksaw Ridge” will be a test not only of his box office acumen, but also his chops as a filmmaker. He tells the story of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who refused to bear arms during WWII, who saved the lives of over 75 soldiers during the battle of Okinawa. Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Truman. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

LOVING: Jeff Nichols, the director of “Midnight Special,” “Take Shelter” and “Mud,” takes on the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple sentenced to prison in 1958 for interracial marriage. Jeff Nichols is excellent at finding the small character moments inside much larger stories, so expect “Loving” to be an examination of the nuances of the Lovings, while also looking at racism in the 1950s. This should be a fantastic film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. MOANA: Already being hailed as one of the best animated films of the year, “Moana” once again proves Disney is on a ridiculously predictable hot streak. The film tells the story of a Polynesian princess who goes on a journey to take a mystical relic back to a goddess. She teams up with the legendary demigod Maui (voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson”) and has a colorful and musical adventure. Since the music is by “Hamilton's” Lin-Manuel Miranda, this is not one to be missed. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema MOONLIGHT: One of the most talked about films of the year. Hailed as being “almost unbearingly personal,” this under-the-radar hit tells the story of a young man's struggle with his own sexuality. This movie challenges the way the media and white America look at young black men while also telling a powerful and profound story. The hype on this movie couldn't be much higher and it appears to warrant the praise. See full review on page 27. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE ACCOUNTANT: Ben Affleck plays an autistic savant who is part ninja assassin and part geeky numbers guy. When he takes on a ruthless group of killers and a possible love life, it's hard to tell what's scarier for him. Sisters Movie House | Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE HANDMAIDEN: Park Chan-wook is

one of the greatest filmmakers in history, full stop. His Vengeance Trilogy including “Thirst,” “Stoker” and “Snowpiercer” are all modern classics and “The Handmaiden” is no different. The film takes place in South Korea under Japanese colonial rule and tells a crime story using some of the most gorgeous and haunting imagery caught on film this year. Expect this to at least be nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and don't be surprised if it wins. Tin Pan Theater

TROLLS: According to Max Landis, this actually started out as an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. Now, it's an animated musical based on the fluffy-haired toys that served as nightmare fuel for multiple generations. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema SW

Local brothers are rising stars in the ski and snowboard worlds

By Russ Axon

Jonah: I like Mammoth. Whistler’s another good one I really like. Where else? There’s a couple spots in Montana that are really sweet. We grew up there, so there are a couple local ski hills that no one will be at and there’s a lot of sweet terrain there.

Jared: I think Bend is my favorite spot.

I want to be here a lot. I’m not trying to get out of here too much. There are a lot of different mountains that are really close and all have super varied terrain. You can get out there pretty quick, and then there’s just so much to do. Bachelor itself is really playful, lots of hills, rollers and wind lips you can go play around on. It’s kind of flat, so you gotta get everything pretty perfect if you want to make it to the bottom, sometimes. You just gotta hold your speed, so it makes you a better snowboarder, in my opinion.

Jonah: Yeah, he hit it pretty good.

Just the access out here to some of the back country is so much easier in some places. You can go ski in Tumalo anytime, and that’s awesome terrain, backside or frontside. And all the mountains out there, as long as you got a snowmobile, you can get out there pretty easy, and that makes Bend pretty unique.

SW: You guys both started out skiing when you were 18 months old. I was wondering what made Jared switch to snowboards and what made Jonah stick with skis? Does it get competitive between you two?

Jared: (points to Jonah) He started snowboarding first, actually. And you

always do what your big brother does.

Jonah: Yeah, he followed me up. I started snowboarding when I was around 4, snowboarded for 4 or 5 years, and then…

Jared: No, it was like 2 years.

Jonah: No, I started skiing in sixth grade, I remember.

Jared: There’s no way. You were in second grade.

Jonah: Dude, you’re out of your mind.

You’re out of your mind.

Jared: He quit snowboarding in second grade, started skiing. You saw some ski video, thought it was sick, had dad make some sketchy twin tips, like melted the back and twisted it up so you could ride backwards.

Jonah: It’s nice because it doesn’t really get competitive between us since we do different sports. We usually ski and snowboard with different people, but we’ll cross paths at some point in the day. We’ll try to spray each other or something.

Jared: Usually, I’ll spray him or try to cut him off on a jump or something, and he’ll get all mad and hold a grudge against me for awhile. Nothing unusual.

SW: You guys have competed in big tournaments and trained with professional teams, but a lot of your recognition comes from your videos. What goes into making those? What’s that recognition been like for you?

Jonah: For us, it’s whatever happens, happens. However you’re feeling that day, whatever tricks you want to throw.

I mean, we got our tricks that we know how to do, or at least know how we want to try them, and we just go do them.

Whatever we’re feeling, really. We both edit our own stuff, too. I really enjoy doing it, putting my vision in the video.

I really like how I’m doing editing-wise, but I need footage that’s a little bit better. There is a certain way to have

things filmed, and I’m trying to step that game up this year.

Jared: Usually, we just post it to Instagram or Vimeo, see what happens. I just try to get people stoked on it. I don’t really care what anyone thinks on my Instagram because it doesn’t matter at all because it’s just the Internet. But for sure, if I didn’t have Instagram I definitely wouldn’t have as much recognition.

Jonah: Yeah, luckily a lot of bigger sites have shared our videos. It just happens that some people will see it and follow you. I guess once you get that following, you get a little bit better result from the videos. It gets weird sometimes, though.

I did have somebody try to impersonate me in a forum one time. The Internet’s a weird place, that’s all I have to say.

Jared: I’m just kind of going with the flow and seeing what happens. I’m still trying to figure out where I want to go.

Jonah: We’re kind of on the same level.

I was doing year-round competitions, traveling all around the U.S. Then, about two summers ago, we went down to Australia for a month and did a couple competitions there. That was where I called it. I did really well in my last competition, but I was not having as much fun when I go out to ski and film, or something like that.

Jared: (laughs) Quit while you’re ahead, right?

Jonah: (laughs) Yeah. So I kind of stopped really doing that. I just wasn’t having fun, and I didn’t want to ruin skiing for me. I’ve seen a couple who that happened with them. So, I’ve just been focusing more on going up with (local photographer and videographer) Pete Alport and taking photos and video with him. Just trying to put some video and stuff like that, that’s more fun in my eyes. SW

Making Indian Ford Creek healthy again: Youth ChalleNGe cadets join the restoration fight

By Jim Anderson

s he digs up another shovelful of rock from an illegal dam on Indian Ford Creek, 17-year-old Jason McCabe says, “Im glad to be out here, this is my favorite part of the program, a chance to give back to the community.”

The Damascus resident is a cadet in the Oregon National Guard Youth ChallenNGe program. “I didn’t think I was going to get into the program, but when I did I decided to do my best to improve myself,” McCabe says.

Kala Golden, an intern with Deschutes Soil & Water Conservation District and a senior Natural Resources student at OSU-Cascades, is in charge of the 45 cadets who gathered in mid-November to “correct 20-years of renegade land practices,” as Jan Roofner, technician for DSWCD, puts it.

Years of overgrazing have left the entire meadow knee-deep in invasive reed canary grass and cheat grass—not to mention the illegal ditches and dams shunting water off to private lands.

In addition to removing the illegal dams and other barriers, the cadets also dug hundreds of ditches along the riparian area, removing reed canary

grass and placing bundles of native willows in the ditches. As the willows grow and develop shade, the effort will bring the creek’s temperature down to normal.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture earlier identified the project as imperative for the life of Indian Ford Creek. DEQ has listed Indian Ford (as well as most of the Whychus watershed) as “at risk” due to rising stream temperatures and the negative effects on water quality. A restoration project of this magnitude would have cost a lot of money had it been contracted out, but with the cadets doing the work, not only is the task cheaper, but it’s a valuable learning experience.

“This is a long-term project (upwards of five years), but we are currently making some good progress with the help of some of our local youth,” Golden says. “Teaming up with the Oregon Youth ChalleNGe Program to assist with project needs is going to bring great improvements.

We’ve had upwards of 50 cadets (ages 16 to 18) coming out each weekend, volunteering their time to assist with

The target population of students are generally students who have dropped out of high school, who are not attending school, or who are failing in school.

In order to graduate, all students must have a placement and responsible plan to implement back in the community.

Many participants end up earning their high school diploma or GED and go on to community college, enlist in the military, return to high school, join the job corps, or start a job.

As Cadet Jason Chafee puts it after he drops his bundle of willows into the ditch beside the creek: “I’m so glad to come out here. I want to give back to the taxpayers for the program we’re in, thankful for a second chance to be a success in life.”

It’s a win-win deal, and it’s also all or nothing. SW

planting and restoration efforts. Most of these kids come from difficult backgrounds and have come to the Youth Challenge program voluntarily to improve upon their future."

The Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program is an alternative (residential) military-model high school where cadets live on site for five months. That's followed by a mandatory 12-month mentor phase back in the community, which can go on for five years.

Eligible individuals are accepted from all 36 counties in Oregon. Staff utilize a “hands off ” tough love, caring, disciplined approach. If they stick with it, cadets are eligible to earn a high school diploma, GED or credit recovery of eight certified credits.

It ain’t easy, but it is rewarding.

What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a mortgage lender? higher rent building, a salary, insurance, and a pension plan, etc. for which their employer must factor in to the price of loan fees or interest rates in order to cover those expenses and make a desired profit. A mortgage broker typically gets compensated in the form of a commission, and it is possible that the cost of their commission is less than the fees charged by a direct lender if their costs are much less.

So another big question: Which one should a borrower choose? There are many happy borrowers who have used both banks and mortgage brokers. For people with really good credit, there is probably very little difference. If a borrower has less than stellar credit, then a mortgage broker may be the better route because they have the flexibility to shop different lenders to find the best rate and to line them up with a lender more likely to qualify them.

There really is no clear answer, but comparison shopping for the best deal based on rates and fees is a good bet.

A lender is a financial institution that makes loans directly to you, such as a major bank. A mortgage lender is represented by a loan officer who typically speaks only for that particular bank’s product line.

In contrast, a mortgage broker is an independent professional who can shop around to find the best deal among a variety of lenders. Mortgage brokers do not lend money.

The important question is: What does this mean for the individual seeking a loan? A borrower may wonder if there is a difference in cost to use a lender as compared to a mortgage broker, and if there are any advantages in using one over the other.

Cost is typically about the same and most consumer advisory blogs encourage shopping for the best deal by comparing a mortgage broker with a lender. The major concerns to the borrower are loan fees and interest rates. When dealing with a lender, the loan officer is typically an employee of the bank and has a nice office, in a

A female friend of mine wanted to get married, but her boyfriend was resistant.

He’d been married before, with disastrous results. He eventually married her—not because he wanted to be married but because it meant so much to her. Initially, she felt bad about this.

She had to give up her romantic dream of getting married because somebody would want to be tied to her forever.

Do men just marry women to make us happy?

—Wondering Woman Picture a zookeeper coming in in the morning and going, “Crap—we’ve got a new giraffe. How did he get in here?”

On one level, a man pining for a life in sexual captivity makes about as much sense as a wild animal breaking in to a zoo. Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt note that we humans evolved to choose between two different sexual strategies—short-term and long-term. Women typically benefit more from a “long-term sexual strategy”—a commitment model, i.e., getting men to stick around to invest in their children. Men often benefit more from a “short-term sexual strategy”—a lack-of-commitment model, i.e., sticking it into a long line of sexfriends. That’s because a man can have sex with thousands of women and never end up pregnant with something that needs to be fed, clothed, and sent to hipster day care.

Though a man gets more shots to pass on his genes with the short-term “I love a parade!” approach, it’s sometimes more advantageous for him to opt for a longterm strategy. It’s a huge time-, energy-, and resource-suck to perpetually be on the hunt.

Also, Buss explains, because “highly desirable women” can hold out for commitment, men can get a much better woman if they’re willing to go for a long-term thing (buying the relationship stroganoff instead of living off the free samples in the supermarket).

Whether to commit generally doesn’t play out in men’s heads in such clear cost-benefit terms—like calculations on whether to go all in on pork futures. It’s emotion that pushes them toward commitment—loving a woman who happens to insist on a commitment and wanting to make her happy. Economist Robert H. Frank calls love “a solution to the commitment problem.” Mushywushy feelings are what keep you with that special someone— instead of running off the moment somebody who’s objectively a better deal moves in next door or your beloved is tossing their cookies on the side of the road: “Bye, hon… hope somebody nice comes along to hold your hair back!”

So a man’s being willing to officially take his penis off the market—even if he isn’t

particularly hot on the idea of marriage— is a really big deal. There are two major reasons you spend the rest of your life with one person: Either you realize you love them more than you love freedom or you’re serving a sentence for a string of bad felonies.

In Thickness And Health My wife isn’t smart. She also doesn’t read books or newspapers or know anything about current events or politics. I knew that when I married her, but we were both kids, and I thought it was kinda sweet and funny. Fifteen years later, it bothers and embarrasses me. I still love her, but I’m depressed by the idea of spending the rest of my life with someone who can’t share some of what I see as life’s basic pleasures.

—Hating Myself For Sounding Snobby It’s something of an attraction killer when you look deep into a woman’s eyes—and feel pretty sure you can see clear out the back of her head.

Yes, 15 years ago, you pledged to spend forever with this woman—surely intending to follow through, despite how she probably makes major life decisions by consulting fortune cookies. The truth is, we can lack foresight when we’re younger. (As late as eighth grade, I announced to my parents with great gravitas: “Roller-skating is my life!”)

Though you care about her, what you’re missing—being similar in essential areas— is called “assortative mating.” Psychologist Michelle Shiota notes that “studies have repeatedly found that similarity between romantic partners in domains such as socioeconomic status, educational background, age, ethnicity, religion, physical attractiveness, intelligence, attitudes, and values predicts higher levels of marital satisfaction and lower likelihood of separation and divorce.”

Sure, you could focus on what you love about her and try to get your intellectual needs met elsewhere. However, if what makes you feel alive and connected to somebody is engaging intellectually, this might just be a bridge too far—being with someone who believes the Electoral College is where your 18-year-old niece is going next fall to study bioengineering.

ASTROLOGY

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Hundreds of

years ago, the Catholic Church’s observance of Lent imposed a heavy burden. During this sixweek period, extending from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, believers were expected to cleanse their sins through acts of self-denial. For example, they weren’t supposed to eat meat on Fridays. Their menus could include fish, however. And this loophole was expanded even further in the 17th century when the Church redefined beavers as being fish. (They swim well, after all.) I’m in favor of you contemplating a new loophole in regard to your own self-limiting behaviors, Capricorn. Is there a taboo you observe that no longer makes perfect sense? Out of habit, do you deny yourself a pleasure or indulgence that might actually be good for you? Wriggle free of the constraints.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The Pacific Ocean was overflowing the borders of the map,” wrote Pablo Neruda in his poem “The Sea.” “There was no place to put it,” he continued. “It was so large, wild and blue that it didn’t fit anywhere.

That’s why it was left in front of my window.” This passage is a lyrical approximation of what your life could be like in 2017. In other words, lavish, elemental, expansive experiences will be steadily available to you. Adventures that may have seemed impossibly big and unwieldy in the past will be just the right size. And it all begins soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I have a deep fear

of being too much,” writes poet Michelle K. “That one day I will find my someone, and they will realize that I am a hurricane. That they will step back and be intimidated by my muchness.” Given the recent astrological omens, Pisces, I wouldn’t be shocked if you’ve been having similar feelings. But now here’s the good news: Given the astrological omens of the next nine months, I suspect the odds will be higher than usual that you’ll encounter brave souls who’ll be able to handle your muchness. They may or may not be soulmates or your one-and-only. I suggest you welcome them as they are, with all of their muchness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow,” wrote naturalist Henry David Thoreau in “Walden,” “to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.” I’d love to see you summon that level of commitment to your important rendezvous in the coming weeks, Aries. Please keep in mind, though, that your “most important rendezvous” are more likely to be with wild things, unruly wisdom, or primal breakthroughs than with pillars of stability, committee meetings, and business-as-usual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For you Tauruses, December is “I Accept and Love and Celebrate Myself Exactly How I Am Right Now” Month. To galvanize yourself, play around with this declaration

by Oscar-winning Taurus actress Audrey Hepburn: “I’m a long way from the human being I’d like to be, but I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all.” Here are other thoughts to draw on during the festivities: 1.

“If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone.” - Barbara De Angelis. 2. “The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.” - E. E. Cummings. 3. “To accept ourselves as we are means to value our imperfections as much as our perfections.” - Sandra Bierig.

4. “We cannot change anything until we accept it.”

- Carl Jung.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are your collabora-

tive projects (including the romantic kind) evolving at a slower pace than you expected? Have they not grown as deep and strong as you’ve wished they

would? If so, I hope you’re perturbed about it. Maybe that will motivate you to stop tolerating the stagnation. Here’s my recommendation: Don’t adopt a more serious and intense attitude. Instead, get loose and frisky. Inject a dose of blithe spirits into your togetherness, maybe even some high jinks and rowdy experimentation. The cosmos has authorized you to initiate ingenious surprises.

CANCER (June 21July 22): I don’t recom-

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 48 / December 1, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A journalist dared composer John Cage to “summarize himself in a nutshell.” Cage said, “Get yourself out of whatever cage you find yourself in.” He might have added, “Avoid the nutshells that anyone tries to put you in.” This is always fun work to attend to, of course, but I especially recommend it to you Sagittarians right now. You’re in the time of year that’s close to the moment when you first barged out of your mom’s womb, where you had been housed for months. The coming weeks will be an excellent phase to attempt a similar if somewhat less extravagant trick.

mend that you buy a cato’-nine-tails and whip yourself in a misguided effort to exorcize your demons. The truth is, those insidious troublemakers exult when you abuse yourself. They draw perverse sustenance from it. In fact, their strategy is to fool you into treating yourself badly. So, no. If you hope to drive away the saboteurs huddled in the sacred temple of your psyche, your best bet is to shower yourself with tender care, even luxurious blessings. The pests won’t like that, and—if you commit to this crusade for an extended time—they will eventually flee.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nobel Prize-winning

novelist Gabriel García Márquez loved yellow roses. He often had a fresh bloom on his writing desk as he worked, placed there every morning by his wife Mercedes Barcha. In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to consider initiating a comparable ritual. Is there a touch of beauty you would like to inspire you on a regular basis? It there a poetic gesture you could faithfully perform for a person you love?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “For a year I watched as something entered and then left my body,” testified Jane Hirshfield in her poem “The Envoy.” What was that mysterious something? Terror or happiness? She didn’t know. Nor could she decipher “how it came in” or “how it went out.” It hovered “where words could not reach it. It slept where light could not go.” Her experience led her to conclude that “There are openings in our lives of which we know nothing.” I bring this meditation to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect you are about to tune in to a mysterious opening. But unlike Hirshfield, I think you’ll figure out what it is. And then you will respond to it with verve and intelligence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A reporter at the magazine Vanity Fair asked David Bowie, “What do you consider your greatest achievement?” Bowie didn’t name any of his albums, videos, or performances.

Rather, he answered, “Discovering morning.” I suspect that you Libras will attract and generate marvels if you experiment with accomplishments like that in the coming weeks. So yes, try to discover or rediscover morning. Delve into the thrills of beginnings. Magnify your appreciation for natural wonders that you usually take for granted. Be seduced by sources that emanate light and heat. Gravitate toward what’s fresh, blossoming, just-in-its-earlystages.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to tra-

ditional astrology, you Scorpios are not prone to optimism. You’re more often portrayed as connoisseurs of smoldering enigmas and shadowy intrigue and deep questions. But one of the most creative and successful Scorpios of the 20th century did not completely fit this description. French artist Claude Monet was renowned for his delightful paintings of sensuous outdoor landscapes. “Every day I discover even more beautiful things,” he testified. “It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all. My head is bursting.” Monet is your patron saint in the coming weeks. You will have more potential to see as he did than you’ve had in a long time.
