YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are likely to be known for
a certain set of personality traits that becomes
identified with you and only you. This can
certainly serve you quite well when you are
young and exploring all the possibilities avail-
able to you in life, but when you are older, it
may actually work against you. You will want
to branch out and explore all manner of dif-
ferent interests and activities, but you may be
held back by the way people see you.
MONDAY, AUGUST 22
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to
break one or two rules today in order to put
yourself in a position that will allow you to
follow them more faithfully tomorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Try as you
might, you’re unable to break a certain habit
today -- but someone close to you is confident
you’ll have no trouble tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) -- Your perspec-
tive enables you to understand things in a
more contemporary way -- and today that
will come in handy for you at the workplace.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Feeling
guilty about something that was entirely out
of your control is a waste of emotional energy
-- and could mislead a young person.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You
must be willing to open yourself up more to
be available for the kinds of things you want
more of in your life. Try saying “yes!”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The
messages you send to another must not con-
tain information that would endanger either
of you in any way if it were known by others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The more
you share about yourself today, the less defen-
sive you will feel. Knowledge can liberate and
strengthen you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may be
difficult to resist certain urges today -- but
you’ve done it before when it was more diffi-
cult than it is now. Do it again.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You dis-
cover something surprising about yourself
today thanks to the involvement of a friend in
what would otherwise be a private affair.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Sleep
eludes you, but you mustn’t simply thrash
about in frustration. You can get much cre-
ative work done during nighttime hours.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone
may be waiting for you to do a certain thing
you have been resisting for some time -- and
there’s no reason to start doing it now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A minor
error takes maximum effort to fix today. A
partner is loath to step in without first being
asked -- but can you do that?
MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2022
YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are one of the most versa-
tile individuals born under your sign. You
have a wide variety of interests and the natu-
ral talents required to pursue those interests
in a positive, productive and fruitful way.
Your personality is also such that you can
embody all manner of different types in your
daily life, adapting your behavior to suit the
shifting and changing circumstances of day-
by-day navigation of work, play and relation-
ships.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 23
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Energy must
not translate to force today; maintain a calm,
subtle and easygoing approach -- even to a
stubborn problem.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can use
your natural charm and charisma for good
today -- or not at all. The decision to engage
in something nefarious is not for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You’re
eager to improve things for yourself and a
partner, but first you must pinpoint the exact
cause of your malaise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now
is no time to hide from your own responsi-
bilities; rather, you should face them in a
manner that shows how honorable you are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re
not likely to be protected by someone in
charge, but neither will you be persecuted,
either. A certain problem is yours to solve.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The rep-
etition of routine gives you a certain comfort
and confidence -- which you will need as
something new and challenging approaches.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can
improve on what you’ve done before by apply-
ing tomorrow’s expectations today. This is all
a matter of embracing responsibility.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something
that is difficult to deal with today cannot
simply be tossed aside, or it will surely come
back to haunt you tomorrow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can do
something to attract attention today without
stepping out of your comfort zone, and it can
be bigger and better than before.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care
you’re not pursuing a losing course of action
simply because you have the bit between your
teeth. Discipline is required today.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Collaboration may not yield the desired
results today, but you may be surprised to
learn a certain lesson or two about what you
want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What works for
you today isn’t likely to work for a friend or
partner -- at least not in the same way -- so a
compromise must be struck.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by

by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy
the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of
Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of
which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which

to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $34,450.90 TOTAL REQUIRED

day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee
before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact
amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing
on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following,
to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 10/1/2019, and all subsequent
installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for
late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes
and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated
with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a con-
dition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Noth-
ing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed
of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY

scribed real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of
the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after
the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and ex-
penses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named
in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed
and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such
portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s
and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the per-
formance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set
for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any
person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described sub-
sequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any
