FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021
YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are perhaps the most cere-
bral and “internal” of all those born under
your sign, though this doesn’t mean that you
are incapable of physical exertion or even
expertise! Indeed, you can hold your own in
almost any kind of endeavor, and even be
competitive at some quite unusual contests.
But you are more at home with your own
thoughts, assessing yourself and those
around you and your place in the world, and
doing what you can to think your way into a
better future.
SATURDAY, MAY 1
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Doing
things simply the way others tell you to do
them may avoid tension or conflict, but
you’re not likely to learn “your” way, are you?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What works
for you today largely works for others, and
vice versa. In one personal area, however, you
FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021
are likely to stand out from the crowd.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may
have to deal with someone who doesn’t
understand the gravity of a certain situation.
Fix the problem rather than blame someone!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be
called upon to demonstrate something that is
confusing to many of those working with
you. This can clear up many issues, actually.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll want
to shop around for the best bargain today --
but remember that price isn’t the only con-
cern. You’re also interested in quality!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The lines of
communication must remain open, even if
you are out of commission for a short amount
of time today. Information must be
exchanged.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Efficiency
is key today, and you may discover as you
struggle to improve your own that you have
been standing in your own way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You
want others to believe you today, and that will
require more than simply strength of convic-
tion. You must express yourself fully.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A col-
laborative effort results in something quite
surprising today -- and that leads you into
another endeavor that can be quite exciting.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’ll
learn a great deal today from someone you
are supposed to be teaching. You’ll do a fine
job -- but you’ll surely benefit as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be
under pressure from someone today to com-
plete a task or project before you are ready to
put the final pieces into place.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s time to
begin sending messages to those who are not
yet “with the program.” Be direct and clear
-- but you needn’t express any frustration.

paying to the beneficiary of the entire amount due (other than such portion of the principal as would not
then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is ca-
pable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligations or trust deed, and in

law, persons having no record legal or equitable interest in the subject property will only receive in-
formation concerning the lender’s estimated or actual bid. Lender bid information is also available at
the trustee’s website, www.logs.com/janewaylawfirm. In construing this notice, the masculine gender
includes the feminine and the neuter, 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. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of
Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while property is in default.
This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the said
referenced 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. The Fair Debt Collection Practice
Act requires that we state the following: This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information ob-
tained will be used for that purpose. If a discharge has been obtained by any party through bankruptcy
proceedings: This shall not be construed to be an attempt to collect the outstanding indebtedness or
hold you personally liable for the debt.
