Lake Selmac Resort prepares for summer tourist season
By SCOTT JORGENSEN
IVN Staff Writer
The front counter of the Lake Selmac
Resort store in Selma is a popular place
for exchanging fish stories, which hap-
pens on a daily basis.
But unlike many fish stories, the
ones told here have a ring of truth to
them, as two state records for bass fishing
have been set at “Selmac.”
There is an undisturbed view of the
lake from the front of the store, and it is
one of the resort’s top attractions.
Colin & Nona Clark are entering
their fifth season as the resort’s owners,
and have worked diligently since they
arrived to make the facility safe and fam-
ily friendly.
Two new sleeping cabins recently
were placed on the more than 5-acre site,
which includes approximately 500 feet of
property rights along the lake. That dock
has a fleet of paddle boats that also are
quite the attraction.
“It’s nice to be able to add things to
the lake and the area,” said Nona.
The cabins, accommodating up to six
guests each, can be rented for $65 per
night for two and $5 per night for each
additional person. Paddle boats are avail-
able to rent for $20 the first hour and $10
each hour afterward, and sit four.
Fishing boats can be rented for three
hours for $45 and $10 for each additional
hour. Canoe and row boats are available
for $10 per hour with a two-hour mini-
mum.
Other popular attractions at the resort
include a miniature golf course, tether-
ball, horseshoes and a volleyball court.
Licenses for fishing can be obtained in
the store, along with bait.
Sites for recreational vehicles, com-
plete with electricity, water and sewer
hookups, are available for $35 per night
on a year-round basis. Guests also can
engage in tent camping for $24 per night.
The tent sites also include electricity and
water.

For the future, the Clarks would like
to open the resort for children’s birthday
parties and family reunions. They also are
planning to rebuild part of the store, and
are considering adding a cyber café.
Pets are welcome at the resort, and
Nona proudly states that many of their
guests are repeat visitors.
The store is open from March to mid-
October. Frisbees are sold for the 18-hole
disc golf course in the Josephine County
park portion at the lake.
“It’s a fun business,” Nona said.
“There’s never a dull moment. There’s
always something to do.”

mentally friendly products
can save money for busi-
nesses, said Oregon Dept.

The following actions,
said DEQ, can reduce air

“global warming.” They
also can result in more ef-
fective business practices
and efficiencies that often
translate into bottom line
benefits, the agency said.
Many of these actions
qualify for a 35 percent
Oregon Business Energy
Tax Credit.

TICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS The property
in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclo-
sure sale is scheduled for 8/24/2010. Unless the
lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid,
the foreclosure will go through and someone new
will own this property. The following information
applies to you only if you occupy and rent this
property as a residential dwelling under a legiti-
mate rental agreement. The information does not
apply to you if you own this property or if you are
not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes
through, the business or individual who buys this
property at the foreclosure sale has the right to
require you to move out. The buyer must first give
you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the
date by which you must move out. The buyer may
not give you this notice until after the foreclosure
sale happens. If you do not leave before the
move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff
remove you from the property after a court hear-
ing. You will receive notice of the court hearing.
FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTI-
FIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING
THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELL-
ING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREE-
MENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER
TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CER-
TAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER
CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FED-
ERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO
GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL
DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the
buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in
writing before requiring you to move out. If you are
renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for
example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may
stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer
wants to move in and use this property as the
buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you
written notice and require you to move out after 90
days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with
more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICA-
TION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW
DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL RE-
QUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN
WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE
OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING
THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD
FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIRE-
MENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DE-
CEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UN-
DER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR
SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-
term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year
lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days'
notice in writing before requiring you to move out.
If the buyer wants to move in and use this prop-
erty as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer
can give you written notice and require you to
move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed
term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are
renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week
rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least
30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to
move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be re-
quired to give you a notice under state law, you
must prove to the business or individual who is
handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupy-
ing and renting this property as a residential dwell-
ing under a legitimate rental agreement. The
name and address of the business or individual
who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on
this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You
must mail or deliver your proof not later than
7/25/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the
foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing
and should be a copy of your rental agreement or
lease. If you do not have a written rental agree-
ment or lease, you can provide other proof, such
as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECU-
RITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply
your security deposit and any rent you paid in
advance against the current rent you owe your
landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord
in writing that you want to subtract the amount of
your security deposit or prepaid rent from your
rent payment. You may do this only for the rent
you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you
must do so before the foreclosure sale. The busi-
ness or individual who buys this property at the
foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any
deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord.
ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORE-
CLOSURE SALE The business or individual who
buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be
willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of
requiring you to move out. You should contact the
buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to
stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent
from you, signs a new residential rental agree-
ment with you or does not notify you in writing
within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure
sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes
your new landlord and must maintain the property.
Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is
not responsible for maintaining the property on
your behalf and you must move out by the date
the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU
SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR
LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD
TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR
UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU
OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU
CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE,
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR
RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CUR-
RENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP
PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND
OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CON-
CERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DE-
POSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL
FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU
TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GO-
ING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU
MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you
believe you need legal assistance, contact the
Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral
service. Contact information for the Oregon State
Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have
enough money to pay a lawyer or are otherwise

tance for free. Information about whom to contact
