Think about bees when planting
Warmer temperatures
this spring are generally
promoting early flowering
of plants as well as moving
up the timetable for polli-
nator activity. Now is a
good time for homeowners
in Oregon to take steps that
will “bee friendly” to a very
important ally in the insect
world.
“We are starting to see a
lot of bees emerging, par-
ticularly native pollina-
tors,” says Rose Kachadoo-
rian, an entomologist with
the Oregon Department
of Agriculture’s Pesticides
Program. “Honeybees
are showing up in the
urban environment, too.
It’s a perfect time for home-
owners to start looking at
the plants in their yard and
garden to make sure they
are pollinator-friendly.”
Doing some research
ahead of the purchase is
helpful, with many web-
sites providing good infor-
mation on which plants are
best for pollinators. Most
garden centers are also
knowledgeable and can di-
rect homeowners to the
ideal plants. There is also
good information on the la-
bels of the plants them-
selves, including the timing
of blooms. The marketplace

heightened awareness of
pollinator protection.

the ground should be
strategic. Just like last year,
dry conditions may prevail
this summer in many parts
of Oregon, requiring wise

plants together that have
the same water require-
ments can be more effi-
cient. One component of
nectar is water, so bee-
friendly plants need to be
fairly well hydrated even
during a hot and dry sum-
mer. The homeowner’s job
is only partially done once

Maintaining the plants is

If pesticides need to be
used, homeowners ab-
solutely need to read and
follow the label. The US En-
vironmental Protection
Agency approves the lan-
guage on pesticide labels
and has clarified them
to include pollinator-spe-
cific information. Certain
products containing neoni-
cotinoids — a special class
of pesticides — are re-
quired to contain a bee ad-

The 2016 edition of Ex-
plore Polk County was in-
cluded in last week’s Itemiz-

formative than ever, with
more than 100 pages of
things to do and places to

book whenever we have
friends and family visiting
the area, and a great re-
source for all kinds of serv-

back with a cup of coffee
and get lost between the

Those of us who are in
the “grandparenting” and
“g re a t - g ra n d p a re n t i n g”
stages have the opportunity
to learn more by attending
the free community lecture
event in Room 205, I-T
Building at Western Oregon
University on Tuesday from
5:30 to 7 p.m. Grandparent-
ing — a Cherished Family
Role in Mid- to Late-Life,
will be presented by Dr.
Margaret Manoogian, asso-
ciate professor of gerontol-
ogy at WOU. Parking in Lot
A on campus is free, and
light refreshments will be
served. Grandparenting has
changed a great deal in re-
cent years, with people be-
coming more active and in-
volved in their grandchil-
dren’s lives. Dr. Manoogian
will discuss how adults in
mid-to later-life can enjoy
these cherished times, and
deal with some of the chal-
lenges and responsibilities
that go with the roles of
grandparents who are par-
enting their children’s chil-
dren.

We missed the Memorial
Day events in MI Town this
year as Don’s daughter and
son-in-law, Liz and Mark
Hubert invited family mem-
bers to their vacation home
on Ochoco Reservoir to cel-
ebrate a certain someone’s
milestone birthday. I also
want to wish that same
someone a very happy 32nd
anniversary. We’ve shared so
many life events — deaths
and marriages and births,
laughter and tears, and are
looking forward to whatever
adventures are ahead of us.
I wouldn’t have missed it for
anything.
PEDEE NEWS
Since I was at a meeting
in The Dalles and didn’t re-
port last week, I wanted to
be sure to mention that Ma-
hayla Benoit celebrated her
sixth birthday with her
mother Lana and other
family members at grand-
mother Sheri Tilden’s house
a week ago. She turned 6 on
May 15 and was delighted
when the whole Pedee
Church congregation sang
“Happy Birthday” to her.

Today is the first day of
the brand-spanking-new
month of June — and
thoughts quickly turn to
high school and college
graduations, sunny days,
evenings on the deck after a
busy day, baseball games,
concerts and movies in MI
Town’s parks, farmers mar-
kets, vacations and a bright
ribbon of summertime al-
most within reach.

No matter the weather —
whether the skies are dark
and dreary or the sun is a
bright canary yellow —
mark your calendar for the
first Wednesday of every
month and don’t miss the
opportunity to play Scrab-
ble with Betty at the Inde-

It was a perfect evening
for the 90 or so people at
Pedee Church on May 22.
The ChipGrass Band
opened the bluegrass con-
cert for the Bethel Moun-
tain Band, who sang folk,
country, and gospel songs
for an hour and a half. Dur-
ing intermission, the
church served ice cream
and an array of 20 pies and
desserts brought by several
people in the community.
The Bethel Mountain Band,
based in Salem and under
the leadership of Will Barn-
hart, of Rickreall, has had
concerts all over the U.S.,
but ChipGrass is just get-
ting its start here in Pedee.
Members include Chip
North, Adam and Emily
Coe, Daniel Russell, Nic and
Cassandra Heller, Pam Bur-
bank, and Tim Barnhart (no
relation to Will). They were
quite good, but I’m not sure
they have a big enough
repertoire to go out into the
world yet.

Reference is made to that
certain line of credit trust deed
(the "Trust Deed") dated Octo-
ber 26, 2005, executed by Mark
S. Oehler and Lynn C. Oehler
(the "Grantor") to U.S. Bank
Trust Company, National Asso-
ciation (the "Trustee"), whose

ment dated October 26, 2005, in

$21,302.47 as of February 17,
2016, and interest accruing
thereafter on the principal
amount at the rate set forth in
the Agreement until fully paid,
(c) plus any late charges accru-
ing thereafter and any other ex-
penses or fees owed under the
Agreement or Trust Deed, (d)
amounts that Beneficiary has
paid on or may hereinafter pay

tation, taxes, assessments, in-
terest on prior liens, and insur-
ance premiums, and (e) ex-
penses, costs and attorney and
trustee fees incurred by Benefi-
ciary in foreclosure, including
the cost of a trustee's sale
guarantee and any other envi-
ronmental or appraisal report.
By reason of said default,
Beneficiary and the Successor
Trustee have elected to fore-
close the trust deed by adver-
tisement and sale pursuant to
ORS 86.705 to ORS 86.815 and
to sell the real property identi-
fied above to satisfy the obliga-
tion that is secured by the Trust
Deed.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN

Grantor has or had power to
convey at the time of the execu-
tion by Grantor of the Trust

in interest to Grantor acquired
after the execution of the Trust
Deed, to satisfy the foregoing
obligations thereby secured
and the costs and expenses of
sale.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN

86.778 has the right, at any time
prior to five days before the date
last set for the sale, to have this

plained of herein that is capable
of being cured by tendering the
performance required under the
obligation or Trust Deed and, in
addition to paying said sums or
tendering the performance nec-
essary to cure the default, by

actually incurred in enforcing
the obligation and Trust Deed,
