SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’re going to have to work harder than most today to get the same results. This state of affairs is unavoidable but won’t last long. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are eager to see someone get just what he or she deserves -- but take care that you’re not sim- ply being selfish in your desires. 111 Baker County Legal Notices AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is paying attention to what you are doing, and you must be aware of when you are being watched today and when you aren’t. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Speed is only one element of a current endeavor that you must consider; you must also strive for greater accuracy than you have in the past. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be influenced against your will by someone whose motives are certainly questionable. A true friend steps in just in time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to change course once you get going today, so be sure that you are headed in the right direction! Get the latest info. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Outside influences affect you far more today than those that come from within. In the end, you will have the advantage; be patient. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Why is it that you are compelled at this time to do that which works against your own best interest? Do what makes the most sense today! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll attract those who are curious about what you’re up to, but you’re not ready to reveal your plans. Offer a distraction if you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An agree- ment may be hard to negotiate today, but it must be done. Since when have you been put off by a challenge? This is something you can do! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can com- fort someone who is going through a tough time -- but don’t think that you know how to solve the problem. This is a unique situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You’ve been trying to say too much of late, so why not try a different approach today? Timing is of the utmost importance right now.

The undersigned successor trustee, Bennett H.

The beneficiary has elected to sell the real property described above to satisfy the obligations secured by the Trust Deed. Pursuant to ORS 86.752(3), a Notice of Default and Election to Sell was recorded on September 9, 2019 in the records of Baker County, Oregon as Document No. B19360075. There are presently one or more defaults by the grantor owing an obligation, the perfor- mance of which is secured by the Trust Deed, with respect to provisions in the Trust Deed which authorize sale in the event of default under such provisions. The default for which foreclosure is made is the failure of LA ROSE, LLC to pay the sum due at the maturity date of August 25, 2019 under a promissory note of December 10, 2008 in the original principal sum of $525,690.00 between LA ROSE, LLC as debtor and beneficiary as creditor, which obligation is secured by the Trust Deed.

The beneficiary, by reason of the foregoing defaults, has elected to, and hereby does elect, to foreclose the Trust Deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.705 to 86.815, and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the above-described real property which grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time of the execution by the grantor of the Trust Deed, together with any interest grantor, or grantor’s successor in interest, acquired after the execution of the Trust Deed, to satisfy the obligations secured by the Trust Deed and the expenses of the sale, including the compensation due to the successor trustee as provided by law, and the reason- able fees of the attorneys for the successor trustee.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN, pursuant to ORS 86.786, that not later than 15 days before the date of a sale of property set forth in the notice of sale under ORS 86.771, the grantor, an occupant, a holder of a junior lien or any other person interested in bidding at the sale may send a written request to the trustee requesting that the trustee provide a written statement of information as described in ORS 86.789. The written request shall be sent to the trustee at 1132 SW 19th Ave., No. 106, Portland, Oregon 97205 by: (a) certified mail, return receipt requested; or (b) personal delivery. The written request shall include a mailing address, a facsimile number or an electronic mail address to which the trustee shall send the written statement of information.

In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the successor trustee has any actual notice of (i) any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property described herein subsequent to the interest of the trustee, the grantor, or any successor in interest to either of them, or (ii) any lessee or person, other than grantor, in possession of or occupying the real property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.
