New playground equipment enhances Madrone experience
By SCOTT JORGENSEN
IVN Staff Writer
Sunday, May 16 marked a
long-awaited occasion at the
Illinois Valley-based Madrone
Adventist Elementary School
on Holland Loop.
For more than three years,
the school has been raising
money to purchase new play-
ground equipment. A generous
donation from a couple, com-
bined with a discount fom
Krauss Kraft, finally gave the
school what it needed to begin
constructing the playground on
Sunday.
That work is set to be
completed on Wednesday,
May 19.
Madrone originally was
founded at a location inside
Cave Junction city limits. But
around 1980, members of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
in Cave Junction donated prop-
erty at 4300 Holland Loop to
the school, and it’s been
housed there since.
Classes at the school are
taught by Kim Bowlby and
Amy Whitchurch, who are
sisters-in-law. Both have chil-
dren at the school, which
teaches kindergarten through
eighth-grade students.
“For the most part, we
teach the love of Jesus,”
Bowlby said.
She added that enrollment
at the school has stayed steady,
at between 16 and 19 students
per year. That figure has been
as high as 22, she said, and as
low as eight. Approximately 16
students currently attend Mad-
rone classes.
Curriculum at Madrone
follows state guidelines,
Bowlby said, as well as stan-
dards set up by the North
American Division (NAD).
Those guidelines are for all
Adventist schools in the United
States, Canada and Mexico,
Bowlby said.
Many siblings and cousins
attend Madrone together, she
noted, and many students go to
the same church.
But despite that, the school
is open to persons of all faiths,
with the single caveat being
that they must believe in God.
“We definitely don’t push
our religion at all,” Bowlby
said.
She related that Madrone
began offering kindergarten
classes to ensure that students
would be able to read by the
time they started first-grade.
The two-year kindergarten
program now is in its third
year, with enrollment dropping
from seven to four. As such,
Bowlby said that it might be
eliminated.
Students in kindergarten
and first-grade use a children's
Bible as part of their lessons,
Bowlby said, and spend plenty
of time reading stories and
singing songs.
“They really get full
knowledge of Bible stories,”
she stated.
Madrone is run by a board
of directors, and Bowlby said
that a regional superintendent
frequently “drops in unexpect-
edly and observes.” She added
that students often are placed
in small groups for various
activities.
“They learn to work to-
gether in teams and think on
their own,” she said.
Recent field trips include
visits to Oregon Caves Na-
tional Monument, and students
soon will visit the Siskiyou

Field Institute’s Deer Creek
Center in Selma.
Bowlby said that tuition at
Madrone is lower than at any
Adventist school in the state.
Students can be enrolled in the
kindergarten program for $160
per month. Tuition for first-
through eighth-grades is
$1,950 per year, plus a one-
time $175 entry fee, which
covers the cost of school sup-
plies, a yearbook and insur-
ance.

TICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS The property
in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclo-
sure sale is scheduled for 8/25/2010. 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
7/26/2010 (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
