YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you know, more often than not,
precisely what’s what -- and why that is so!
You are knowledgeable, studious, curious and
always on the lookout for that which can send
you off on a new and exciting journey of
exploration and discovery. You possess a
“joie-de-vivre” that is almost catching; those
who spend any time with you are likely to
assume your positive and fun-loving attitude
-- even when there is hard work to do.
MONDAY, APRIL 25
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You likely
have more at stake today than you even know,
but a close friend has been keeping score and
can tell you just what you’re facing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The more
you dream, the less you’ll do -- unless, of
course, you are ready to combine thought and
action in a new and productive way today!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- How you
see yourself in five years has changed recently,
and today is a good day to give yourself a very
honest and thorough self-assessment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can be there
for someone today -- and your timing
couldn’t possibly be more perfect. This is not
something you’ll be able to repeat.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are able
to look a serious challenge directly in the face
today -- and you’ll recognize what it requires
of you almost immediately.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may wish
you were anywhere but where you are today
-- but, in truth, you’re sitting pretty, and you
simply need a friendly reminder!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may
be strangely affected today by something that
happened many days ago -- if not many weeks
-- but isn’t it time to move on?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You
can get things rolling today without causing
too much disruption around you. Your pri-
mary goals are soon to be within reach.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
may receive permission to do something for
which you’re not likely to get a second chance
-- so now is no time for a delay!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone’s
behavior is likely to tell you something about
your own today -- especially when you are
maneuvering behind closed doors.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be
the subject of someone’s emulation today, like
it or not. Never fear, you shouldn’t feel any
additional pressure!
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your poten-
tial may have decreased somewhat over the
past few days, but today you’ll want to raise
the stakes and go after a valued prize.
MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2022
YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you may not always be blessed
with the kind of self-confidence that is at the
core of all your great successes, but you can
use any periods of uncertainty or doubt to
reflect on who you are, where you’ve been and
where you’re going. Indeed, reflection itself is
very important to you, in all its forms -- not
least of which is the image you see in the mir-
ror, for you can be rather vain at times, and
you are quite adept at molding your exterior
appearance to match your inner currents.
TUESDAY, APRIL 26
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What goes
on early in the day will prove most important
later on, when you’ve had a little more time to
absorb what it has done to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Let things
come to you as they will, and don’t try to
control the stream of information. You’ll
know instinctively what really counts.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Though
others will be able to help you today, that
doesn’t mean they will or that you will benefit
as hoped from the help you do receive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The danger you
face today is made more serious by your own
cavalier attitude. Now is not the time to give
things less value than they deserve.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others may
be quite nervous about what lies ahead, but
you have reason for optimism -- and that
overall attitude allows you to conquer your
fears.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You cannot
expect to benefit from what happens today
unless you are willing to accept that someone
else knows more than you do right now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may
find something that is usually easy to be quite
difficult today -- or vice versa. In either case,
you’ll want to investigate causes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The
longer you wait to return someone’s call, text
or email, the more unwilling you’ll be to do
so. Get it done right now!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
may wonder at the reception one of your
unconventional ideas has received. There’s a
change in the wind, and you’re the reason for
it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may
not believe what someone else has to tell you
today -- at first. The more you think about it,
however, the more it rings true.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can
offer more than others are expecting today,
but take care that you don’t bite off more than
you can chew. You know your limits.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You don’t
really want to share in someone else’s shame
today, but you are in a position to help if the
emotional toll is too high.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Public Hearing will be held by the
Board of Directors of The Hospital Facility Authority of Union County,
Oregon (the “Authority”) on Monday, May 2, 2022, at 12:00 p.m., or as
soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, at the Grande Ronde Hos-
pital, Mt. Emily Conference Rooms, 900 Sunset Drive, La Grande, Ore-
gon 97850. The purpose of the hearing is to hear public comment on
a request by Grande Ronde Hospital, Inc., an Oregon nonprofit corpo-
ration (the “Borrower”), to the Authority to issue its revenue bonds, as
qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Section 145 of the Internal Rev-
enue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in one or more series,
pursuant to a plan of finance, in a maximum aggregate principal
amount of $50,000,000 (the “Bonds”).
The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned to the Borrower to finance
all or a portion of the costs of designing, constructing, improving, fur-
nishing and equipping a new surgical center project and other capital
improvements, and to reimburse certain prior capital expenditures, at
the Borrower’s hospital facility known as Grande Ronde Hospital (col-
lectively, the capital projects to be financed by the Bonds are herein
referred to as the “Projects”).
The Projects to be financed by the Bonds are located at 700, 710 and
900 Sunset Drive, La Grande, Oregon 97850. The Projects are owned
by the Borrower, which is an Oregon nonprofit corporation and organ-
ization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.
The principal of and interest on the Bonds will not constitute a debt of
Union County, Oregon (the “County”), nor shall the Bonds be payable
from a tax of any nature levied upon any property within the County,
nor within any other political subdivision of the State of Oregon. The
Authority has no taxing power. The Bonds will be limited obligations of
the Authority, payable only from revenues and resources provided or
arranged by the Borrower pledged to the payment of the Bonds and
any credit enhancement arranged for by the Borrower.
Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) re-
quires that qualified 501(c)(3) bonds, such as the Bonds, must be ap-
proved by the applicable elected representatives of the governmental
unit having jurisdiction over the area in which the assets being financed
and refinanced by the Bonds are located. For the Authority to issue
the Bonds, it is necessary that the Board of Commissioners of the
County, as the applicable elected representatives of the Authority, ap-
prove of the Bonds.
The purpose of the public hearing will be to provide a reasonable op-
portunity for members of the public to express their views, orally or in
writing, regarding the issuance of the Bonds and the uses and pur-
poses of the proceeds of the Bonds. The hearing will be conducted in
a manner that provides a reasonable opportunity for persons with dif-
fering views to be heard on the question of the issuance of the Bonds.
Written comments may be delivered at the public hearing or mailed to
the Authority prior to the hearing to the following address: The Hospital
Facility Authority of Union County, Oregon, c/o Grande Ronde Hospital,
