NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE
TO BE SOLD FOR CASH AT TRUSTEES SALE on Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at 10:00 o’clock A.M. at the Main Door of Ravalli County Courthouse located at 205 Bedford, Hamilton, Montana 59840 the following described real property situated in Ravalli County, Montana:
LOT 5A, Amended Subdivision Plat No. 561735, DVN Commercial Subdivision, Ravalli County, Montana, according to the recorded plat thereof.
Julian A. Milton, Jr. & Kenneth Dale, Grantors conveyed said real property to Alex Beal, Esq., as Trustee, to secure an obligation to PENSCO Trust Company FBO Cory J. Schuck IRA, by Montana Trust Indenture dated October 25, 2010, and recorded November 9, 2010, as Document 637087, in the office of the Clerk and Recorder, Ravalli County, Hamilton, Montana.
The Beneficiary has declared a default in the terms of said Montana Trust Indenture for failure to make the monthly payments due in the amount of $575.00, beginning June 1, 2015, and each month subsequent, which monthly installments would have been applied on the principal and interest due on said obligation and other charges against the property or loan.  The total amount due on this obligation as of February 22, 2016 is $204,036.18 principal, interest at the rate of 8.00%, the amount outstanding today totaling $938.96, and other fees, expenses, and advances to date, plus accruing interest at the rate of $44.69 per diem, late charges, and other costs and fees that may be advanced or incurred.
The Beneficiary anticipates and may disburse such amounts as may be required to preserve and protect the property and for real property taxes that may become due or delinquent, unless such amounts of taxes are paid by the Grantor.  If such amounts are paid by the Beneficiary, the amounts or taxes will be added to the obligations secured by the Montana Trust Indenture. Other expenses to be charged against the proceeds of this sale include the Trustee’s fees and attorney’s fees, costs and expenses of the sale and late charges, if any.
Beneficiary has elected, and has directed the Trustee to sell the above described property to satisfy the obligation.
The sale is a public sale and any person, including the beneficiary, excepting only the Trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks, or cashier’s checks).  The conveyance will be made by Trustee’s Deed without any representation or warranty, including warranty of Title, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis. The sale purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the property on the 10th day following the sale.
The Grantor, successor in interest to the Grantor or any other person having an interest in the property, at any time prior to the Trustee’s sale, may pay to the Beneficiary or the successor in interest to the Beneficiary the entire amount then due under the Montana Trust Indenture and the obligation secured thereby (including costs and expenses actually incurred and attorney’s fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred and thereby cure the default.
The scheduled Trustee’s Sale may be postponed by public proclamation up to 15 days for any reason, and in the event of a bankruptcy filing, the sale may be postponed by the trustee for up to 120 days by public proclamation at least every 30 days.

MONTANA WATER COURT
MAINSTEM BITTERROOT RIVER AND EAST SIDE – (SUBBASIN 76HA)
NOTICE OF ENTRY OF PRELIMINARY DECREE AND NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
ALL WATER USERS NEED TO READ THIS NOTICE
The Montana Water Court has entered its Preliminary Decree for the Mainstem Bitterroot River And East Side (Subbasin 76HA).  This water rights Decree is now available for your review.
WHAT IS THE PRELIMINARY DECREE?
The Preliminary Decree contains 2,867 abstracts of existing water right claims filed in the Mainstem Bitterroot River And East Side (Subbasin 76HA). The Decree includes all sources of water located within that drainage. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in the Index volume of the Decree explain how the Decree was prepared.
What you should do:
1. Review the abstract of your own water right claim or claims.
2. Review the abstracts of all other water rights that affect your water right.
3. Decide if these abstracts correctly identify pre-July 1973 water use.
4. Decide if you want to file objections.
5. File your objections with the Water Court on or before the filing deadline.
Your water right can be affected by what is in your abstract and other abstracts in the Decree. The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) examined all the claims. Elements of your claim may have been changed because of information the DNRC obtained during examination. If your abstract shows changes, you can challenge the changes by filing an objection with the Water Court.
Look the abstracts over carefully. The Decree Indexes will help your review.
The Source Name Index lists all claims under the name of each source of supply (Bitterroot River, for example). Under each source name, the claims are listed from the earliest priority date to the latest priority date.
The Priority Date Index lists all claims in Subbasin 76HA beginning with the earliest date and continuing to the latest. You can find the rank of the priority date of all claims in the Decree in this index.
If there are issue remarks on the abstract of your claim which are not resolved by objection, those remarks will be addressed and resolved by the Water Court pursuant to Section 85-2-248, Montana Code Annotated. The Water Court will contact you about the issue remarks if no one objects to your claim.
SHOULD YOU FILE AN OBJECTION?
Only you can answer this question. You should first examine the abstracts of your water rights. Is the abstract correct as of July 1, 1973? If you don’t agree with the elements of your abstract as printed in the Decree, you may file an objection.
You need to know:
1. Your water right may be subject to other water rights on your source or on other sources in the Subbasin;
2. Your water right may be subject to water rights in adjoining Subbasins and Basins;
3. Your water right may be subject to Indian and Federal reserved water rights;
4. A claim that no one objects to or does not contain issue remarks may remain unchanged and may be entered in the Final Decree as is; and
5. This Decree, as modified by objections and hearings, will be enforceable under Montana law (Sections 3-7-212 and 85-2-406, MCA).
If you believe your water right claims or someone else’s water right claims in this Decree do not reflect their historical (before July 1, 1973) beneficial use, you can file an objection.
HOW TO FILE AN OBJECTION AND REQUEST A HEARING
Objections must be filed on the forms provided by the Water Court. These can be found at the offices listed below or on the Internet.

EXTENSIONS
The Water Judge may grant a request for an extension of the time for filing objections. A request for an extension must be received by the Water Court on or before JUNE 1, 2016.  Use the Water Court’s form. If an extension is granted, it will apply to everyone. Any extension will be posted at the offices listed below and will be advertised once in the Missoulian, Ravalli Republic and Bitterroot Star.

AFTER OBJECTIONS ARE FILED
After the time for filing objections has passed, the Water Court will notify you by mail if someone objects to any of your claims. If someone objects to your water right claims, then you are entitled to file counterobjections to their claims. The Water Court will notify you of the time when counterobjections must be filed. The Water Court will set a date for all interested parties to notify the Water Court of their intent in participating in any hearings.
RIGHT TO APPEAL
If you do not participate in Water Court proceedings, your right to appeal an adverse decision is limited.

(2) If the Attorney General participated as an intervenor as provided in section 85-2-248, MCA, the Attorney General may appeal a decision. (3) An interlocutory ruling by a water judge upon a question of law may be appealed by a party affected by the decision and who participated in the matter in which the ruling was issued.
