Yes on Prop 68
Dear Editor:
On February 8, the Claremont Wildlands
Conservancy Board voted unanimously
and enthusiastically to support Proposition
68, which will appear on the June ballot:
Proposition 68, the California drought,
water, parks, climate, coastal protection,
and outdoor access for all act, would au-
thorize California to issue $4 billion in gen-
eral obligation bonds to finance state and
local parks, water conservation measures,
water reliability to disadvantaged commu-
nities and flood protection projects.
The funds include: $200 million for
“Local Parks Grants,” which will be dis-
tributed based on population; $15 million
for “Parks and Recreation Grants” allo-
cated to cities with populations under
200,000; $30 million for competitive
grants for open space projects; $30 million
to target trail development; and $30 million
to the Lower Los Angeles River and
Mountains Conservancy. Claremont is
within the conservancy’s granting area.
In other words, chances are good that if
this bond measure passes, Claremont will
qualify to receive grants from one or more
of these funding sources in order to pre-
serve and protect more hillside open space
and watershed.
The state League of Women Voters and
the Claremont Area League join us in sup-
porting this proposition.

New city manager gets warm Claremont welcome

I
t was all smiles and hand shaking in the
Padua Room Monday evening as new
city manager Tara Schultz got a warm
reception from the Claremont community.
Ms. Schultz, who started her job last week, spent the
evening meeting and greeting people from all corners of
Claremont society during a welcome reception at the Hugh-
es Center. Around 80 people attended the event, includ-
ing city councilmembers, school board members, city em-
ployees and local gadflys.
The meeting was presented as an informal social hour
with drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
“Honestly as much of a whirlwind, as crazy as it’s been,
I’ve really enjoyed it,” Ms. Schultz said. “I’ve had a great
time.”
Ms. Schultz noted that much of her first week has been
spent getting to know community leaders, city employ-
ees and councilmembers to get an idea of what they want
in a city manager.
Her first week was not without drama, however; Ms.
Schultz said she walked into her first day as Claremont
city manager while on the phone with Golden State Wa-
ter Company, trying to deal with the water outage.
“I got to city hall and Tony [Ramos] walked in and he
said, ‘Good, you’re here,’” she said. “I said, ‘Of course
I’m here.’”
She spent the day making sure the right information was
sent out as city staff fielded calls from residents looking
for answers.
“Eventually they got the water back on, that was real-
ly all that mattered,” she said. “I was hoping it was go-
ing to be on sooner.”
In the middle of the meet and greet, Ms. Schultz took

gy as he read from a
prepared statement during public comment
at Tuesday night’s city council meeting.
“On behalf of Golden State Water, I’d

solely responsible for ensuring high-qual-

The planned outage on February 6
took the city by surprise, with north
Claremont residents claiming they were not
notified prior to the shutdown. The Clare-
mont Unified School District was not no-
tified of the shutdown either, and City Man-
ager Tara Schultz was given notice at 10
p.m. the night before.
Chaparral Elementary had to truck in a
last-minute group of portable bathrooms
for students, and the Claremont Club was
forced to close for the remainder of the day.
Residents in the affected area were told
to boil water before consuming it in the
days that followed, and GSW employees
trucked hundreds of water bottles to hous-
es in north Claremont.
Mr. Lewis commended Three Valleys
Municipal Water District for helping to re-
store water service.
“We have learned from this event, and
prevent any future inconveniences,” Mr.
Lewis said.
Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali and
Councilmember Joe Lyons remarked that
communication and dialogue would be key
in preventing a similar incident from hap-
pening again.
“Thanks for coming to at least recognize
the responsibility where it lay, but let’s talk
in the future so we don’t do that again,” Mr.
Nasiali said.
Pooch Park to open soon
The Claremont Pooch Park has been
closed for what seems like ages, as the city
works to refurbish it and allow time for the
grass to grow.
But the long wait may finally come to
an end, according to City Manager Tara
Schultz.
Ms. Schultz told the council during her
on an opening date for the park by the end
of the month. Construction was complet-
ed in late December.
The reason for the prolonged shut-
down, she said, was because of “unusual
and unpredictable weather,” in the last cou-
ple of months.
“Opening day will be announced when
the grass is hardy enough to withstand
heavy usage,” she said.
Attorney fees ordinance passed
The council unanimously approved an
ordinance to add a new section to the city
codes that provide for the collection of at-
torney’s fees in the instance of litigation.
Specifically, section 1.12.060 of chap-
ter 1.12 of the code focuses on “nuisance
abatement” or litigation covering code en-
forcement issues.

Claremont Village Venture LP initially received ap-
proval from the council in December 2017. But the
group decided to go with a different issuer, the California
Statewide Community Development Authority, thus ne-
cessitating a separate public hearing in front of the city
council.
The group, led by developer MRK Partners, is plan-
ations director Cathy Coler, centered on mixed messages
from Congress about tax reform.
She explained to the council that MRK initially ap-
plied with the California Municipal Finance Authori-
ty (CMFA) as part of a mass issuance by the state due
to the threat of eliminating private activity bonds as part
of the tax reform. That ended up not happening, she said.
The apartment complex will remain low-income and
section 8 eligible after the renovations, she told the coun-
cil.
The city has no financial obligation to the debt is-
suance. The council passed the resolution unanimous-
ly, 3-0.
The next city council meeting will take place on Feb-

Shaping the future for female mathematicians, scientists

I
f indeed “the future is fe-
male,” then Claremont is
looking toward it with open
arms.
Pomona College welcomed a talented
future crop of female mathematicians, en-
gineers and scientists this past weekend,
as it hosted its first Sonia Kovalevsky
Mathematics Day.
Organizers hope events such as this will
help turn the tide against the underrepre-
sentation of women in higher education
mathematics. And, judging by the turnout
among the middle and high school aged
girls, they’re well on their way.
“It was overwhelming and wonderful,”
said the event’s organizer, Pomona Col-
lege Visiting Professor of Mathematics,
Omayra Ortega. “We sold out so quick-
ly.”
Initially she had planned on about 50
students and 15 teachers, but the free sym-
posium ended up attracting more than 200
students, 27 teachers and several sup-
portive parents. “It takes a while for an
event to grow, establish its reputation, and
for the word to get out. We assumed since
it’s the first one, it would be small,” Ms.
Ortega said.
The theme of the day was “making his-
tory with mathematics,” apropos for the

This method of financing reduces the
cost for seniors who bought their home
at a lower price in the past, but who
must now live on very low incomes.
The second proposed way to raise
the money was a new-concept parcel
tax. This method had never been used
VIEWPOINT
anywhere to finance a building. The
new approach would have required
everyone to pay based on the square
footage of the improvements on their
property.
Unfortunately, public records of
square footage improvements on some
properties were found to be incorrect.
Because a parcel tax generates money
for the city general fund, we would have
to trust future city councils to use the
funds for paying off only this loan. With
this insecurity, banks would charge a
higher interest rate.
By the end of 25 years, Claremont
would have paid $2.3 million more in
interest to a bank when compared to a
GO bond. My fear is that any legal chal-
lenge to this precedent-setting financing
method would increase our city’s cost
further.
Who would pay more with the parcel
tax? Nonprofits including churches and
retirement communities, not including
$667,000 over 25 years. Commercial
property owners would pay an addition-
al $2.9 million, much of which would
be passed on to our small businesses.
The Colleges would pay an extra $4.5
million.
Our committee learned that the Col-
leges already pay for their own security
force of 20 full time members and 16
reserves. The Colleges had previously
offered $1 million toward the police
station in the first parcel tax proposal.
Therefore, our city council is again ask-
ing for a donation toward the new sta-
tion.
New presidents at the Colleges have
slowed the college response. However,
some residents want to force the Col-
leges to pay more for police services.
Using the parcel tax tool, we would be
throwing half of the college money
away on higher interest rates.
I think if asking the Colleges for a do-
nation does not work, then it would be
financially more beneficial to charge the
Colleges for each police service call.
For those of you still resisting the GO
actual payment for this bond will be. I
have heard people over-estimating their
tax bill by a lot. Remember that your as-
sessed value is not your current resale
value. It is based on slow increases per
year over what you paid for your home,
which each of us remembers.
Your official assessed value after ex-
emption is on your tax statement. Please
check it. If your home has an assessed
value of $100,000, you will pay $31.08
for the full year. If it is assessed at
$300,000, then you will pay $93.24 per
year for the new station.
We now have a plan for a right-sized
new station in the right location. The
cost has been cut by more than half.
Regardless of which type of financing
you would have preferred, the council
has decided on a GO bond and the vote
will happen on June 5. Let’s step up
and vote at least 67 percent “yes” for a
safe and efficient police station for our
citizens and officers.
Delaying this further will make this
station even more expensive, and will
risk a possible earthquake catastrophe.

Men’s track suspended three meets for naked hazing

face further disciplinary actions in the future as inves- broke in The Student Life. After a meeting on Thursday,

T
he Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men’s
track and field team has been barred
from competing in three meets after
an alleged naked hazing incident two weeks
ago.
In a release circulated on Monday, CMS Director of
Athletics Terry Tumey also noted that some members of
the women’s team would be barred from competing in
one meet this year. Mr. Tumey said while the men’s
team has been prohibited from participating in the first
three meets of the season, they could resume practic-
ing.
But Mr. Tumey alluded that individual students may
tigations unfold.
“Although both teams will resume practices and
meetings with coaches, conduct processes by our re-
spective colleges continue and may result in discipli-
nary and educational sanctions for individuals as
warranted,” Mr. Tumey wrote.
According to Claremont Police Department logs, six
apparently naked students barged into the Rains Center
about 9:15 p.m. on February 3 and took a photo from a
wall. A student who tried to stop the incident from hap-
pening was reportedly “held down” by some of the stu-
dents, according to the logs.
Both men’s and women’s teams were initially sus-
pended from all activities as news of the incident first
February 8, the women’s team was allowed to practice
while the men’s team was still suspended.
Mr. Tumey did not go into specifics about the inci-
dent in his email, but noted the men’s and women’s
track teams, “reportedly violated the CMS student-ath-
lete code of conduct, the CMS hazing policy, and the re-
spective codes of conduct at Claremont McKenna,
Harvey Mudd and Scripps Colleges.”
“We will work with both teams to renew a collective
commitment to CMS Athletics’ core values both dur-
ing and well beyond this period of reflection,” Mr.
Tumey wrote. —Matthew Bramlett

Financing facade
Dear Editor:
I’d like to address one particular sen-
tence written by Mayor Larry Schroeder
in last week’s viewpoint.
The mayor wrote quite deliberately,
“The parcel tax measure failed to pass,”
rather than something more appropriate,
like “The $50-million measure failed to
pass” or, my favorite, “The police-sta-
tion-in-the-gravel-pit measure failed to
pass.”
Facing questions from the public be-
cause of the council’s recommendation
to increase the tax burden on families by
recommending a GO bond, it appears the
mayor wants voters to believe that Meas-
ure PS failed because of the parcel tax,
so he and the council can use that as jus-
tification for rejecting an altogether dif-
ferent parcel tax this past December.
If the flat-rate parcel tax did have
something to do with the failure of
Measure PS, it was most likely for rea-
sons that won’t help the council’s new
bond proposal. The flat-rate parcel tax
proposed in Measure PS actually in-
creased property taxes on homeowners
by over $13 million, relative to a GO
bond.
So, if the mayor and the council want
to blame the failure of Measure PS on the
parcel tax, they should take note that its
failure suggests homeowners prefer
lower property taxes, not higher.
The square-footage parcel tax that the
council recently rejected in favor of a
GO bond would have done what Meas-
ure PS didn’t, it would have lowered res-
idential property taxes by over $5 million
and required commercial property own-
ers, non-profits and the Colleges to all
contribute substantially more to the cost
of a new police station.
It’s obvious to anyone paying attention
that the square-footage parcel tax the city
council rejected is not the same parcel
tax that was used in Measure PS as the
mayor and council believe. In fact, it’s
quite the opposite.
READERS’ COMMENTS
To equate the two is misleading and
does not provide justification for why he
chose to increase taxes on working fam-
ilies by over $5 million while, at the
same time, forcing the city council to
panhandle outside Stig Lannesskog’s of-
fice.
Matt Magilke
Claremont
The time is now
Dear Editor:
Claremont is one of the fortunate cities
that can afford to have its own police de-
partment that reflects our community
values. But that independent and good
fortune comes with a price tag. We must
reach in our own pockets to make sure
that our officers have the training, equip-
ment and facilities they need to keep our
community safe.
Our 45-year-old police station is a bit
of an embarrassment. It is not up to cur-
rent earthquake standards. Facilties for
female officers are in temporary struc-
tures in the parking lot. There are not
enough rooms to separate crime victims
from their suspects. The jail cells no
longer meet state standards.
The electrical system cannot handle
any more security camera feeds and
fuses blow when a dispatcher plugs in a
small heater, because the heating system
is inadequate. Exterior security is insuf-
ficient for transferring suspects.
There is no space for probation, home-
less, and mental health professionals to
work on site, and the building is not
compliant with the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act.
In short, it’s not a place any self-re-
specting law enforcement professional
would care to work. They have been pa-
tient long enough.
Replacing the building with a state-of-
the-art public safety center must be
Claremont voters’ highest priority.
After months of deliberation by a
community task force, the city council
has followed their recommendation and
placed a funding measure on the June
ballot. It’s a good proposal. It’s half the
cost of the last one, it utilizes the current
site, and it is the least costly financing
option. Everyone who values keeping
our community safe should support it on
June 5.

Village South
Dear Editor:
I'm very excited at the prospect of ex-
panding the Village south towards the
Hibbard lot. Redeveloping the area has
the potential to help many local busi-
nesses gain a foothold in the area. I can’t
wait to see how this project progresses.

Water consumers are suffering
Dear Editor:
Your readers are suffering under ex-
cessive water bills. Fortunately, a grow-
ing coalition seeks a solution to this
problem by advocating for water rates re-
form.
As a primary source of news and in-
formation for a community relying upon
water services from an investor-owned
utility, this story is essential for readers
who may have a personal stake in learn-
ing about a statewide nonpartisan water
rates reform movement.
Topics of vital concern to your read-
ers will be addressed at the California
Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 16, 2018 7
Summit for Water Rates Reform, an in-
formational conference on Friday, Feb-
ruary 16 in Lancaster.
The city of Lancaster recently adopted
a resolution in support of California
Coalition on Water Rates Reform and
will provide facilities for the conference
organized and presented by the coalition.
The coalition currently claims to ad-
vocate for about 1.5 million of the esti-
mated 6.2 million Californians served by
water companies whose rates are set by
the California Public Utilities Commis-
sion.
The coalition will present findings in
support of its call for legislative reform
of CPUC rules, policies and practices in
ratemaking cases. It is the coalition’s
contention that the CPUC is enabling
regulated monopolies to charge rates
three to five times higher than those paid
by customers of public water utilities.
Summit presentations will address
specific, realistic solutions to existing
and developing problems in CPUC reg-
ulation of investor-owned water utilities.
The meeting is of special interest to
residents of Claremont. The city recently
reached a $4.8 million settlement with
Golden State Water Company after an at-
tempt to acquire the rights to local water
pipes via eminent domain.
According to the city, “the over-
whelming majority of Claremont voters
supported the city council’s decision to
acquire the water system in order to con-
trol our water future.”

coalition meeting in Lancaster, email

Arden Reed
Pomona College professor, author, art and literature scholar
Arden Reed, noted scholar, lecturer
and Arthur M. Doyle and Fanny M. Doyle
professor of English at Pomona College,
died December 21, 2017 from an aggres-
sive form of cancer.
Born in 1947 in Denver, Colorado, Mr.
Reed was a boundary-crossing scholar: an
expert on 19th-century English and French
literature and visual art, including con-
temporary visual culture.
Mr. Reed’s research covered the spec-
trum of English Romantic literature; 19th-
century French painting and literature;
modernism across the arts; relationships be-
tween painting and literature, image and
text; contemporary art; and tableaux vivants.
His most recent and seminal work, Slow
Art: The Experience of Looking, Sacred
Images to James Turrell, was published
this past summer by the University of Cal-
ifornia Press.
Covering works from the Middle Ages
to the present, Slow Art calls on everyday
museum visitors to contemplate artwork
and trust that their novice observations are
just as meaningful as those of art experts.
In its review, The Wall Street Journal called
Reed “an enormously erudite writer,” and
his book, “a lively ramble through high and
low culture.”
Rev. Luverne Charles Tengbom
Global leader, professor, pastor, missionary, author
Reverend Luverne Tengbom died peace-
fully on January 21, 2018 at Pilgrim Place
in Claremont. He was 98 years old.
Born to Swedish-American parents Carl
J. Tengbom and Ida C. Carlson, Luverne
Charles Tengbom drew his first breath in
the family farmhouse in Poskin, Minnesota
on May 30, 1919. He was baptized into the
Christian faith at Ebenezer Lutheran
Church in rural Almena, Wisconsin.
Young Luverne graduated with honors
from Barron High School in Wisconsin. He
began his higher education at Lutheran
Bible Institute in Minneapolis, Minneso-
ta. There he started his own photography
business, beginning a lifelong interest in
photography. He later attended Gustavus
Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minneso-
ta, graduating with honors and a bachelor’s
degree in 1943. In 1945 he graduated from
Augustana Seminary in Rock Island, Illi-
nois, earning a master’s of divinity degree.
In 1962 he earned another master’s degree,
this one in theology, from St. Paul, Min-
nesota’s Luther Seminary.
In 1977 he completed his post-graduate
studies, earning a PhD from Hartford
Theological Seminary in Hartford, Con-
necticut.
During his college years he worked in
various Lutheran churches in Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario,
Canada. He did his seminary internship in
Evanston, Illinois.
He became an ordained minister in
1946. That year he was called to serve at
First Lutheran Church in Calgary, Alber-
ta, Canada, where he remained for 10 years,
holding numerous positions, among them
were secretary, Board of Canadian Luther-
an Bible Institute, from 1947 to 1956; sec-
retary of the Canada Conference, Augus-

CHS boys share league title, but lose in CIF play

all it an air of inevitability, or maybe
just pure inertia, but Claremont
High School boys basketball was
not going to be denied a victory last Thurs-
day when they hosted first-place Diamond
Bar for the final game of the regular season.
Claremont never trailed on their way to a lopsided 78-
60 victory in front of a jubilant hometown crowd.
However, there was more at stake than just going out on
high note, the victory also gave the Pack a share in the
Palomares League title.
Bonita also prevailed on Thursday, so three teams—
the Pack, the Brahmas and the
Bearcats—all have identical, 7-3, SPORTING
league records and a piece of the LIFE
league pennant. Even though they share the three-way tie,
the teams are in different divisions, so all come out ranked
first.
“The guys were focused. They really wanted it,” Coach
Stan Tolliver said. “They are really capable. They work
great together and we have played well at home all sea-
son. I thought all of those components really led to the
win.”
Freshman Isaiah Love led the team in scoring with 16
points, followed by senior Christian Jordan with 13 and
senior Jacob Henry with 12. Jordan also had a game high
eight rebounds. Sophomore Joshua Chen had 10 points
and eight assists.
After the game Coach Tolliver could not recall the last
time Claremont earned a league title. “I can’t remember,”
he said. “Not in my tenure and I have been here 10 years.” COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

CHS ROUNDUP
CIF TOURNAMENTS
Claremont High School winter sports
are entering the playoffs with first
round games this week. The undefeated
girls water polo team hosted a first
round match against Dana Hills on
Thursday after press time.
Girls soccer, 6-3-1, had an away
game at Yucaipa, 10-1-3, on Thursday
after press time. The Thunderbirds will
be a formidable opponent, coming off a
four-game winning streak and a Citrus
Belt League title.
Boys soccer, 6-3-1, hosts Whittier’s
California High School, 6-4, on Friday.
The Condors, who placed third in the
Del Rio League, are on a four-game
winning streak.
Following a disappointing, 33-32,
loss to Diamond Bar in their final
league game, girls basketball traveled
to Inglewood for the first round of the
CIF tournament, taking on St. Mary’s
High School after press time.
WRESTLING
Claremont co-ed wrestling is having
one of the best years of competition in
quite some time.
On the girls side, Claremont sopho-
more Citlamina Mejia is headed to the
California State Meet, a first in pro-
gram history, according to Coach Ger-
ald Escalante. He started the girls team
eight years ago with just one wrestler
and has grown the team to seven mem-
bers in recent years.
Mejia broke her ankle last season,
but after a year of recovery she returned
in fine form, placing first at the girls
CIF qualifier on February 3 in Upland.
She then placed in the top eight at the
girls CIF Masters Championships held
last weekend, which was good enough
to gain a berth at the state meet Febru-
ary 23 and 24 in Visalia.
Boys varsity ended its years long
drought in league meets by defeating
Diamond Bar, 47-30, last month. They
also came close to winning two more
league meets, losing to Glendora by
one match, three points, and to Bonita
by one pin, six points.
The Pack brought home many indi-
vidual medals in both the JV and var-
sity tournaments, including two third
place varsity team awards from
Gabrielino and La Puente tournaments.
Claremont will be sending a record
nine athletes to the CIF tournament this
weekend after a dominating perform-
ance at the Palomares League finals last
week.
A standout all year, Victor Mora
placed first at 180, Claremont’s only top
finish in the boys meet. The Pack earned
two second-place medals from Eric Tran
and Nick Alegria; four third-place fin-
ishes from Jonathan Raviv, Xiucoatl
Mejia, Tyler Sanchez and Eddie Flores;
and two fourth-place finishes from
Nicolas Parga and Brandon Fairman.
The CIF meet will take place Friday
and Saturday at Beaumont High
School.

esteem, self control, imagination, creativ-

cooperation, patience and persistence
among his viewers. If his gentle, low-tech
and soothing style was unusual then, it is
by now almost unthinkable for a television
host in any genre. In tribute to Mr. Rogers,

I’d like to dispel a rumor to which even I
fell prey until recently: Mr. Rogers was nev-

on the show because he liked the dang

mother), not because he had tattoos all over
his arms, one for each person he had killed.
In truth, he never served in the military and
was a pacifist. You’re welcome.

Keeps: Shaping the Future, One Justice at
a Time,” with guest speaker Ronald Klain.
“The process of selecting and confirming
life-tenured Supreme Court justices—and
other federal judges—can shape our laws
and society for decades,” a press release
read. “Long after a president is gone, the
individuals appointed to the federal bench
are still determining life and society alter-
ing matters with wide-ranging implications.
How does a president decide whom to en-
trust with this power? How should the sen-
ate exercise its role providing its ‘advice and
consent’ to these selections?” Mr. Klain, a
veteran of the selection and confirmation
of eight Supreme Court justices, discuss-
es these questions and his ideas for reform
of the contentious and consequential
process. Mr. Klain has devoted many
years to public service, most recently as
White House Ebola Response Coordina-
tor (2014-15). Earlier, he served as a sen-
ior White House aide to President Obama
responsible for implementing the Recov-
ery Act, and as chief of staff to Vice Pres-
ident Joe Biden from 2009 to 2011. He has
also served as chief of staff for Vice Pres-
ident Al Gore, chief of staff and counselor
to Attorney General Janet Reno, staff di-
rector of the Senate Democratic Leadership
Committee, and chief counsel of the Sen-
ate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Klain was as-

work on the judiciary committee and in the
executive branch, he has played a role in
the selection or confirmation of eight
Supreme Court justices. Mr. Klain gained
national notice as general counsel for the
Gore Recount Committee in 2000, in
recognition of which he was selected as one
of National Law Journal’s lawyers of the
year, and featured in HBO’s film Recount.
He has worked on seven presidential cam-
paigns, serving as a top debate preparation
advisor to Presidents Obama and Clinton,
and Democratic presidential nominees Al
Gore, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. Mr.
Klain is a graduate of Harvard Law School,
where he was an editor of the Harvard Law

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
FLORENCE KATHRYN HATCH
Case No. 18STPB01175
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be inter-
ested in the will or estate, or both, of FLORENCE
KATHRYN HATCH
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
Christine Lee Posin in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
Christine Lee (Jordan) Posin be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and
codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examination in the file
kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to adminis-
ter the estate under the Independent Administration
of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the per-
sonal representative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal represen-
tative will be required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived notice or consented
to the proposed action.) The independent adminis-
tration authority will be granted unless an interested
person files an objection to the petition and shows
good cause why the court should not grant the au-
thority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on
March 8, 2018 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 79 located
at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and state your ob-
jections or file written objections with the court be-
