YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are never one to let the
harsh realities of life hold you down, hold you
back or hold you under; you are always will-
ing to do what you must to rise higher than
anyone might expect and to overcome the
kinds of obstacles and hardships that simply
prove to be too much for most “mere mor-
tals.” Indeed, there is something almost oth-
erworldly about you and your ability to take
the bull by the horns and train it to do your
bidding; you don’t seem to be bound by the
same kinds of rules that others must follow.
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.

TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE
REFERENCE IS MADE to that certain Deed of Trust (the “Trust Deed”) recorded on March
26, 2015 as Document No. B15120265 in the records of Baker County, Oregon by and among Larry
Abell and Rosemary Abell, husband and wife, as tenants by the entirety, as the grantor, Elkhorn Title
Company as the trustee and Community Bank, a banking corporation, as the beneficiary covering the
real property situated in said county and state legally described as:
Lot 6, Block 6, UNITED STATES TOWNSITE OF BAKER CITY, according to the
official plat thereof, in Baker City, County of Baker and State of Oregon
Property address: 2031, 2029, 2021, 2019 Washington Ave., Baker City, Oregon 97814.
The undersigned successor trustee, Bennett H. Goldstein, hereby certifies that (i) no
assignments of the Trust Deed by the trustee or the beneficiary and no appointments of succes-
sor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the official records of the county or counties
in which the above-referenced real property is situated, and including specifically the appointment
of Bennett H. Goldstein, attorney, as successor trustee, and (ii) no action has been commenced or
is pending to recover the debt or any part of it now remaining which is secured by the Trust Deed.
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.
By reason of such defaults, the beneficiary has declared and hereby does declare all sums
owing on the obligations secured by the Trust Deed immediately due and payable. Such sums are as follows:
Principal:
Interest to 08/30/19:
Late charges through 08/30/19:
Foreclosure guarantee:
Other charges:
$ 478,425.07
$ 18,673.28
$ 2,197.85
$ 423.00
$ 3,280.00
Per diem interest from and
after 08/30/19:
$ 239.21254
Attorneys’ fees, costs and other sums necessary to protect
beneficiary’s interests as provided by law and contract.
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.
WHEREFORE, notice is hereby given that the undersigned successor trustee will on
January 29, 2020, at the hour of 11:15 a.m., in accordance with the standard of time established
by ORS 187.110, on the front steps of the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 3rd Street, in the City of
Baker City, County of Baker, State of Oregon, sell 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 reasonable fees of the attorneys for the successor trustee.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that reinstatement or payoff quotes requested pursuant to
ORS 86.786 and ORS 86.789 must be timely communicated in a written request that complies with that
statute, addressed to the trustee either by personal delivery to the trustee’s physical offices at 1132
SW 19th Avenue, No. 106, Portland, OR 97205 or by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the trustee’s address set forth in this notice. Due to potential conflicts with federal law,
persons having no record legal or equitable interest in the subject property will only receive information
concerning the lender’s estimated or actual bid.
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. The
trustee is not required to respond to a written request that does not include an address, facsimile
number or electronic mail address described above. Upon receiving the written request the trustee
shall send the written statement of information to the address, facsimile number or electronic mail
address provided in the written request at least seven days prior to the date of the sale. If the person
requesting the written statement of information provided a mailing address, the trustee shall send
the written statement of information by certified mail, return receipt requested and by first class mail.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that any person named in ORS 86.778 has the right, at any time
prior to five (5) days before the date last set for the sale, to have the foreclosure proceeding terminated
and the Trust Deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due, other than
such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred, and by curing any other
default described herein if such default is capable of cure by tendering the performance required under
the Trust Deed and the obligation secured by the Trust Deed, plus payment of all costs and expenses
actually incurred in enforcing the Trust Deed and the obligation it secures and all fees of the successor
trustee and of attorneys as provided by ORS 86.778. Requests from persons named in ORS 86.778
for reinstatement quotes received less than six days prior to the date set for the trustee’s sale will be
honored only at the discretion of the beneficiary or if required by the terms of the loan documents.
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.
Date: September 10, 2019.
