The Fourth of July holiday weekend is synonymous with backyard barbecues, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet, or just a good old fashioned family get together, with an opportunity to celebrate and cherish the greatest democracy in the world.

With that celebration and tradition also enters another tradition of the weekend, that for many seems harmless and fun, but to most is a huge danger and annoyance; and that is use of fireworks.

In the City of Los Angeles, fireworks are illegal and year after year, are the cause of many visits to hospital emergency rooms or the Grossman Burn Center, in spite of the fact that most of our residents believe that

With fireworks shows in the valley canceled this fourth, the planes of the Condor Air Squadron will bring a patriotric flyover to Encino, Woodland Hills and Calabasas Saturday night.

According to Chris Rushing, squadron president, four vintage WWII aircraft will fly over the west valley at approximately 6:35 pm over Encino, 6:45 pm over Woodland Hills and 6:45-6:55 pm over Calabasas.

The planes are North

Councilmember Bob Blumenfield introduced legislation to expand a unique program run by the Los Angeles Fire Department that would change how mental healthcare and homeless related calls for service are addressed.

This measure aims to grow the Advanced Provider Response Unit (APRU) program and calls for a new partnership with the County’s Public and Mental Health Departments to bring swift changes to how some non-violent and non-life threatening situations are handled, especially those involving the most vulnerable Angelenos.

Blumenfield said, “We send out too many sworn officers and full engine companies on calls that don’t need them because we simply don’t have other specialized tools. Programs like the APRU can bridge the service gap because the status quo is not fair to our officers, firefighters and to those who desperately need help.”

In 2018, after Blumenfield helped secure funding through his committee’s Innovation Fund, the LAFD launched the APRU program. Staffed with an LAFD Firefighter/Paramedic and an Advanced Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician’s Assistant), the APRU offers a vast array of resources outside of the traditional paramedic

but also ones manufactured in clandestine factories. Which brings me to my point. During the month of June, our Valley has experienced a 478% increase in the use of illegal fireworks. At all hours of the day, we are hearing the loud bangs, tormenting our pets, our seniors or those veterans who suffer from PTSD.

Today’s devices are packed with very powerful explosive chemicals, which years ago we heard from firecrackers, now we hear what seems to be a war zone with 2000-pound bomb detonations.

Our communications dispatch is inundated with radio calls, taking away precious time from our officers to concentrate on violent crime. Even though we have made countless arrests for the illegal possession, transportation and sale of fireworks, many of them are still in the hands of our communities and are being launched daily.

As a reminder, ALL FIREWORKS IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES ARE ILLEGAL!

Please be a responsible neighbor, citizen and forgo the celebrations outdoors this year. Enjoy one of the many virtual shows that will be programmed on your televisions. Our brush in

the Valley is very, very dry and the conditions will be HOT this weekend. Don’t be the cause of a fire that creates loss or property or life.

Our officers will be out in force this weekend and they will be doing the very hated part of our jobs; that is to enforce the law on illegal fireworks and issue citations worth up to $1,000 in fines. Please don’t make us be the bad guys! Be responsible!

Should you want to report illegal fireworks activity, DO NOT call 911! Feel free to use any of the below means:

1. MyLA 311 App from your smart phone;

2. Call (877) 275-52733. HTTPS://Complaint.

lacity.org/Complaint/FireworksI urge everyone to celebrate

responsibly and safely this Fourth of July, by partaking in the many traditions associated with the holiday weekend, devoid of the use of fireworks.

This is a time for celebrating our great nation’s independence, not a time to be in an Emergency Room.

scope of practice. This program offers three services:

- Mobile urgent care with on-scene treatment and release of low-acuity patients.

- Comprehensive assessment of 911 ‘super-users’ and vulnerable patients who can be linked to follow-up non-emergency care and needed services.

- On-scene medical clearance of mental health and intoxicated patients who can be transported directly to a mental health facility or sobering center, without burdening a local emergency room.

Currently the APRU has four teams strategically stationed throughout the City and is ripe for expansion of capacity and to include trained mental health and homeless service professionals. Building this program would relieve a massive burden placed on both the LAPD and LAFD who often are dispatched to non-violent calls simply because the City doesn’t have another service available 24/7 to address the needs of those who require assistance. For example in 2019, sworn LAPD officers were dispatched 20,598 times for calls involving mental illness and 15,544 for welfare checks, two types of situations that often do not require armed officers or full LAFD engine companies.

Friends- I hope this note finds you and

your loved ones safe and healthy. I am writing to provide an

update from Sacramento on the State Budget and our legislative efforts. Earlier this week, Governor Newsom signed the 2020 State Budget. I am proud that our office fought to protect vital funding for education, health care, and social services for our most vulnerable residents.

I am also happy to share that our office has passed five bills through the State Assembly, all with bipartisan support. These measures include:

- Assembly Bill (AB) 2746 — requires strong accountability and reporting requirements for state funded homeless programs

to ensure the most efficient and effective use of state resources.

- AB 2271 — expands the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act to provide legal assistance to vulnerable Californians in eviction, child custody, and domestic violence cases.

- AB 3308 — will help create more affordable housing, especially for teachers.

- AB 2416 — will help prevent college students experiencing homelessness from losing their federal financial aid.

- AB 2617 — will strengthen the enforcement of out-of-state Gun Violence Restraining Orders to help prevent mass shootings and save lives.

We look forward to continuing

From the Desk of Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel

to work on these bills as they move through the State Senate.

In the meantime, we are continuing to assist Valley residents with issues related to COVID-19, including issues related to health care, employment, and public benefits. Please remember to practice physical distancing and to be kind to each other as we navigate these challenging times.

Wishing you all a safe, healthy, and happy July 4th weekend.

Word on the Street This weekend we celebrate the

4th of July - the birth of America’s independence.

So many years we go along and just enjoy the fireworks, the picnics and the parties, without thinking about what it really means.

This year we have seen the true meaning of our fight to overthrow the tyranny of the British and become a free, independent nation.

I covered over five protests in Woodland Hills, Calabasas and West Hills. They were all peaceful. No outside agitators, no rioters, no looting.

Just community leaders and residents utilizing the freedoms that independence gives us - freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and yes, freedom of the press.

The Black Lives Matter movement, at its core, is an attempt to throw off tyranny and bring equality. The peaceful protests here in the west valley that supported the #BLM

movement - whether you agree or not - are the purest expression of our basic rights and freedoms.

The current debate over masks, for many, centers around civil rights, with some arguing that the current mandate violates their personal freedom and right to choose.

I personally believe that wearing masks saves lives. It is an order now in Los Angeles but I have seen many people defying it and going out in public without one.

I’m not going to argue the points of law, but it is also my right not to be around someone who is ignoring the order.

Our independence is built on inalienable rights for men and women, freedom and respect.

I don’t have to agree with your beliefs, but have to respect your right to have them - and express them, just as you must respect mine.

As a newspaper owner there is no one more aware of our Bill of Rights with freedom of

expression and freedom of the press.

Not everyone will like what we write. Not everyone will agree with what is said on this editorial page. I may not agree with what is sent to us in Letters to the Editor.

But it’s our right to say it. In these United States of America it’s a given right - and a privilege. We only have to look at other fights for freedoms around the world to see that.

So what we celebrate this Saturday, without fireworks this year, without the large parties, without the picnics, is our desire to, and hard-won victory to have, the most amazing rights and freedoms in the world.

Auto, Home, Business, Health, Life

By Miri RossittoOh, what a time to be alive.

2020 has had no chill from the very beginning and I am fairly certain that the rest of this year has zero intention of slowing down or quelling any more curveballs. From the tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of Kobe and Gianna Bryant as well as the lives of seven others to an impeachment trial and subsequent acquittal of our President, the postponement of the Olympics and a global freaking pandemic, I can’t believe we aren’t drinking more! (Kidding – we are. The week ending May 2nd saw the strongest growth rate for alcohol at an overall increase of 25.5%.) These last six months have been a consistent kick in the shins, but I truly believe that we have an opportunity to grow better and stronger from these experiences. I mean, isn’t that the American way? To push forward through uncertainty, catastrophe, and conflict? Heck yes it is!!

Right now, millions of American small businesses are breathing their last breaths. This incredible community of earnest, honest and hard-working women and men, stretching from Adak, Alaska to Lubec, Maine, are simply being wiped off the map. It is unacceptable and heartbreaking and yet – there are some pretty spectacular Americans working around the clock to prevent the slaughter of U.S. small businesses. Here are a few:

Santa Cruz, California – Fae Gershenson, owner of Happily Ever Laughter, knew that she had to quickly pivot her children’s entertainment company of 14 years or it wasn’t going to survive the pandemic. Fae brainstormed with her creative director and from those conversations, a new business model emerged. In lieu of her beautiful fairies going out to entertain at fabulous parties

As American as an Apple Pie Stand all over California, instead the parties would come to the fairies! Not only would these stunningly costumed entertainers put on the most delightful online playdates, but they also get the parents in on the action too by hiding a treasure in the house and thus creating an interactive experience. Genius!

Savannah, Georgia – Seven-year-old twins, Kamari and Kamera, decided to pursue every American kid’s entrepreneurial dream and they opened a

lemonade stand. Sadly, an aggressive stranger questioned these two lovely little ladies as to whether they had a license to sell their delicious lemonade (insert eye roll here). Well their father, wanting to be the best example for his daughters, went and obtained said permit and do you know what happened? People came from all over the county to buy themselves a cool glass of “twin-monade”! The line can last up to an hour!! Happily, this family found the sweet in the sour.

Hartford, Connecticut – Barry Alexander is nothing short of a hero. As an experienced airplane pilot, Mr. Alexander has been flying critically sick patients and much needed supplies from the United States to the Caribbean via his air ambulance service. When COVID-19 happened, what did Mr. Alexander do to make the world a better place? He started a brand-new business where he could offer drone pilot training. This lucrative skill would give so many men and women the ability

to learn and capitalize on a new talent while then providing other industries with professionally trained experts. These jobs can pay upwards of $165 an hour!! Doesn’t that just make your heart soar?!

These are only three examples of how small businesses can make very big impacts. As you celebrate this 4th of July, I would take a moment to think about what it means to be an American today. Who we are as

a nation should not be reduced to political party lines, religious affiliations or whether you wear a mask or don’t wear a mask. Let us do what we Americans do best and let’s celebrate the spectacular men and women who are desperately working to better their surrounding communities. YOU have the power to be more patient, choose kind, and shop small! And would you do this one thing for me? Head over to your local bakery and pick up a good ole apple pie. It will absolutely make their day and I bet it will make yours too.

Miri Rossitto is CEO of COWE Consulting and can be reached at 818.970.9177(cell) or 855.435.7484 (office).

There are some pretty spectacular Americans

working around the clock to prevent the

slaughter of U.S. small businesses.

“Jeopardy” Host Donates Again to Hope of the Valley“Jeopardy” game show host Alex Trebek has once again made

a significant donation to Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission. Trebek gave the organization $500,000 to help the nonprofit build a new facility called Hope Central. His previous donation of $100,000 went towards building an 85-bed shelter in North Hollywood. The shelter’s multipurpose room is named for Alex Trebek and his wife Jean. Hope of the Valley CEO Ken Craft said of Trebek, “He’s one of the kindest, most sincere, generous, thoughtful people I’ve ever met - and selfless.” The mission of Hope of the Valley is to attract people and resources to assist in meeting the needs of every hungry and homeless man, woman and child in the valley. The new Hope Central will be headquarters for the organization’s 15 satellite locations.

In 2018, UCLA Health ramped up its telehealth program, called Connected Health, to enable every UCLA health care provider and patient to communicate via telephone or web-based technologies. While no one at that time anticipated the COVID-19 pandemic, UCLA Health leaders believed telehealth could benefit patients by providing them with easier access to care.

Using the myUCLAhealth patient portal, Connected Health enables physician-tophysician consultations; remote patient monitoring; and live, two-way visits between a doctor and patient in place of an office visit (a service that typically is referred to as video visits).

Prior to the pandemic, telehealth already had been adopted in some departments, such as psychiatry and for post-hospitalization follow-ups, says Mark S. Grossman, MD, clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics, who has helped oversee UCLA telehealth. But it was during the COVID-19 pandemic that patients and health care providers embraced the technology.

Suddenly, primary care doctors were seeking training to use the technology, and patients were clamoring for video visits, he says. In March, Medicare and many private insurers announced they would reimburse for telehealth visits. Since then, telehealth visits have soared. From January to April, the number of telehealth visits performed by UCLA Health increased from 958 in a month to nearly 80,000.

More than 1,200 UCLA Health providers are now trained to conduct video visits. “We were very lucky to have this infrastructure in place,” Dr. Grossman says. “By March 16, we realized this was going to be a broad pandemic, and we needed to get all our physicians on board with video visits as soon as possible. We needed to protect patients, staff and physicians from potential exposure. Telehealth is a great way to assess patients in home isolation and determine if they need a higher level of care.”

The lightening-fast embrace of telehealth during the pandemic has likely changed attitudes

about the technology and service forever, says Daniel M. Croymans, MD, a primary care physician and medical director of quality for the Department of Medicine. He expects that utilization of telemedicine will increase in the post-COVID-19 era.

“Expanded use of video visits may be one of the few positive outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic,” he says. “There is a lot you can see with your eyes, without doing a touch-based physical exam. Video visits allow us to provide excellent, often equivalent, care for many

different patient concerns.” Besides assessing patients

for potential COVID-19 infection, video visits have been useful during the pandemic to “meet” with patients, especially those with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and mental health disorders, to provide care and minimize their risk of coronavirus exposure, Dr. Croymans says. Video visits are a critical bridge to ensuring our patents continue to receive the best possible care during this challenging time.

“Telehealth adds a valuable option for patients to connect with providers and complements in-person visits,” says Anne Lin, MD, associate professor of colon and rectal surgery and medical director of telehealth programs at UCLA. But the technology has found a niche that will flourish even after the pandemic wanes, Dr. Lin predicts. “I expect that many patients will have had a positive experience and that, moving forward, they will continue to use telehealth.”

This week the City of Calabasas, in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and ongoing discussions about race and racism, tackled the tough questions of race and change.

Calabasas is, for many, a bastion of privilege, with wealthy celebrities and residents. Is it a city that is open to all? Accepts all? No matter race, color or creed?

The City’s Mayor’s Youth Council assembled a panel of students, city leaders, residents, educators and law enforcement to discuss this issue in an online forum entitled “Conversations With the Community.”

Panelists included Laila Drew, former Calabasas High School student, Tai Flemming, Viewpoint student, Samuel Mayti Jr., Calabasas High student, Anehita Okojie, former Calabasas High student, Sienna

Ribeiro, Calabasas High student, Leah Winter, Calabasas High student, Audley Harrison, Calabasas business owner and Olympic boxing champ, Al Harrington, former NBA player, Dan Stepenosky, LVUSD Superintendent, LeRhonda Greats, Viewpoint Director

City of Calabasas Discusses Vital Issues of Race and Change

of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Life and Chuck Becerra, Los Hills Sheriff’s Captain.

The students had a unique perspective on the culture of racism in Calabasas. Flemming said that Calabasas is a tight community, but without a lot of black people. “You have to prepare yourself for some conversations you may have - not out of malice but ignorance in a predominately white neighborhood.”

Drew echoed those sentiments, adding, “There is a lot of micro-agression going on under the surface. Anyone who would move here right now would have to be active in fighting for a change.”

Whereas Okojie took a different approach and said, “I’ve lived here my whole life. I would recommend that a black family live here because it can be a lot worse. People in Calabasas are more willing to be anti-racist and make black people feel more comfortable here. Also, education is wonderful here and black people are not always on the same playing field - but can find it here.”

LAUSD Superintendent Stepenosky concurred, saying, “Schools can be most powerful in changing hearts and minds. There

is great work for us ahead on that endeavor.” He also encouraged any student encountering racism or bullying at school, whether from a student or teacher, to go to an assistant principal or other administrator to discuss it.

Okojie continued her theme of education and remembered going to the library and having people read to her. “If only we had sessions like these that could have special emphasis on books that teach children to be anti-racist and accepting of other cultures,” she said.

On that note Greats chimed in about the part the faith community can play. “The most segregated hour of the week is 11 am Sunday. We all go to our own religious community. If your congregation only has one race, partner with another community to understand another race. You have to do it intentionally. We need to work and come together. At Viewpoint we are building a community that reflects what our values are.”

Mari Hernandez of the City said there are plans for open houses that focus on diversity and different cultures, starting in September with a Mexican Independence Day festival.

At that Mayti said, “We need reform of the entire system, not just piecemeal change.”

Calabasas City Councilman David Shapiro, who founded the Mayor’s Youth Council during his tenure, told the students that, “You, our youth, are the ones who will make the change. Please vote in November.”

On the discussion of the low number of black-owned businesses in Calabasas, Harrison and Harrington chimed in that being black entrepreneurs they have encountered racism. “Oppression revolves around opportunity,” said Harrington. “We need to fight and be creative and have an impact on the

By Janey M. RifkinIt’s pretty astounding, any

grocery shopper will tell you. In the past four months, disruptions wrought by the coronavirus p a n d e m i c have led to the fastest rise in food prices in more than four decades.

Many factors affect the food growers and d i s t r i b u t o r s , not the least of which are the newly imposed restraints with safety-first considerations for farm workers and food handlers, as well as increased safety measures in effect for all supermarkets, to protect staff as well as customers.

To accommodate changes since the onset of the pandemic, companies are buying equipment and reconfiguring factories and stores to keep people safe from the coronavirus. Some of those changes are adding costs that can trickle down to shoppers. Customers now queue up to maintain a person-quota inside

Information and Straight Talk

Grocery Bills Rise Faster Than in Four Decadesthe store, and face-mask-clad shoppers await their turn to pay higher prices compared to a year ago.

It’s the biggest monthly

increase for food since 1974. Changes under consideration by familiar firms such as Campbell Soup Co. are adding more family-size packs that will cost less per ounce of soup; Mondelez International Inc. is considering smaller packages of some products such as Oreos and other snacks.

The job and earning outlook for many is more uncertain than it has been in years. Spending on food as a percentage of disposable income is expected to rise this year for the first time

in decades. Meat prices, chicken and beef, if you can find them, are almost double what we used to pay. Another reason for the sharp rises is that food makers and

supermarkets pulled back on the discounts they typically apply to about a third of the items they sell.

Food prices are still in flux and some customers are migrating to cheaper foods, generic brands, and discount stores as prices rise. People are inclined to buy

more bulk packs that cost less per ounce whenever price is an object. Today’s drastic rise in food cost is surely a major factor for the 40 million people out of work, a direct result of the mass closures of businesses far and wide.

Even as businesses are reopening, the food cost forecast will remain high. “This is not like any recession in recent history,” is the battle cry of the food prognosticators.

Janey Rifkin is a syndicated writer and local resident.

Four Stories Erased from Planned Hotel on Chalk HillNew Plan Offers Four Story Building - Not Eight

Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) released its annual Consumer Confidence Report/Water Quality Report (CCR/WQR). This report is distributed to customers and residents of our service area every year by July 1 in accordance with federal and state regulations.

Each year LVMWD pulls over 1,200 samples from throughout its distribution system and conducts over 11,000 tests on those samples. These results, as well as the results from the testing performed by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) on the treated source water imported by LVMWD, are compiled into the CCR/WQR.

The CCR/WQR is an annual report that shows the quality and safety of the LV tap water distributed to our customers. Testing levels for a number of different contaminants and their corresponding regulatory levels are provided, giving customers the confidence in the safety of their water. These tests are performed in the District’s state certified testing lab at the Tapia Water Reclamation Facility. With no local source of drinking water, LVMWD relies on treated, imported water from MWD for our customers. This report also provides the testing data from MWD on the water from the Jensen Treatment Plant where our imported water is treated providing the transparency necessary to build trust in our products and services amongst

our communities.What this report also shows

is that in 2019, LVMWD water passed and exceeded all federal and state regulations placed on drinking water. These regulations, set by the Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Drinking Water, ensure the water we serve is safe and clean for our customers. Additionally, the CCR/WQR contains valuable information for our customers regarding water conservation, lead and copper testing, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS/PFOA.

The District’s mission to always provide high-quality water service in a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner inspired a move to digital distribution of the report in 2019.

“We are always looking

for ways to make District operations more effective and efficient. By distributing our CCR/WQR electronically we can reduce both the cost and carbon footprint associated with the report, so it checks all the boxes,” stated Public Affairs and Communications Manager Mike McNutt.

Although the CCR/WQR will primarily be distributed electronically, the District will continue to make paper copies available. For customers who wish to receive a printed copy of the 2019 CCR/WQR, please call our customer service department at (818) 251-2200. Customers and area residents have received postcards directing them to our specific webpage - LVMWD.com/WQR2019 - where the report is available for review and download.

The hotel proposed for 20401 Ventura on Chalk Hill (between Desoto and Winnetka) has been redesigned to be a four-story building - down from its original design of an eight-story tower. According to the city application, the hotel will have 149 rooms and underground parking with an exterior of glass and wood paneling. Developers Kamyar Marouni and Shahrzad Cohen purchased the lot, which formerly housed the Todai restaurant in 2016 for about $6.5 million.

By Neill Simmons The highlight of July is the

penumbral lunar eclipse on July 4. If you look after 9:45 pm, a light shadow will come over part of the Moon’s surface. It will last over an hour. The Moon will not be as dark as in a regular eclipse. On average there are two lunar eclipses a year. Most last two hours or longer.

July will welcome back the giant planet Jupiter. Jupiter will be dazzling in the southeast after 10 pm. It will be the brightest object in the night sky. To the left of Jupiter will be another bright planet, Saturn. If you have access to a telescope, Saturn’s beautiful rings can been seen.

FUN FACT: The biggest Moon of Saturn is named Titan. It is moving away from Saturn at an astonishing rate and astronomer are not sure why.

DAWN PATROL: In July, three of the “naked ey”e planets can be seen before dawn which is from 4 am to about 5:15 am.

Mars is getting brighter and brighter as Earth comes closer to the red planet. Look for Mars

on July 11 as the Moon will be next to the red planet. On July 17, The Moon will be next to Venus before dawn.

July 22 will be the best time to view the planet Mercury in the east.

NASA is launching a new rover to Mars in July. China is also launching a Mars rover in

July. The United Arab Emirates is also sending a probe to Mars from a launch pad in Japan. All of these events are because Mars and Earth will be at their closest point this coming October.

Interestingly, there have been 56 missions to Mars from many different countries; however, only 26 have been successful.

One of the greatest constellations and also a Zodiac sign, Scorpius, is back in July. Look in the southeast to see this

giant formation of stars. A bright red star within the constellation, Antares, is easy to spot in this star formation.

The famous Ursa Major constellation, better known as the Big Dipper, will be hanging down from its handle in the north and is easy to see in July.

Each night in July look in the east to see three bright stars that form the famous “Summer Triangle.” This group of stars are up for the rest of the year all the way to December!

July is a great month for seeing satellites in the night sky. If you look up after 9

pm one should be spotted every five minutes since there are over 30,000 satellites orbiting the Earth. Remember there are no blinking lights on a satellite. Also, there is a better chance to see a rogue meteorite in July.

community. We need to start coming together and supporting one another.”

Harrison said, “When I complained 25 years ago, there was no change. We’re in a critical moment and I’m excited about it. This is a ‘human’ thing. Kids right now are so awake, that brings me joy. Kids in Calabasas have been very brave. But, you shouldn’t be arrested and scared you’ll lose you life. We can’t stop talking. We need policy changes and law changes.”

When asked by Captain Becerra what he wanted from the Sheriff’s Department, Harrison said, “Accountability. Becerra replied that what happened in Minneapolis was tragic, all of us at the station rhought so. One of the keys to avoiding police brutality is body cams, which Sheriff Alex Villaneuva promised to put body cams on everyone. That’s a great thing.”

Mayti said it’s more than officers being armed, it’s them pulled guns in different situations. Funneling funds from law enforcement to education will affect more change, and Drew said, “Law enforcement needs to go above and beyond to make sure everyone in the community feels safe. Make it clear that we will be safe coming to you.”

Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintraub said, “As Mayor I know everyone here is committed to changing the experience and doing our party. I and my colleagues have an open door to the community. We are a team here in Calabasas and want to be part of the solution. This conversation was a good start, we will continue the dialogue.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OFJOHN EARL ISHAMCASE 20STPB04714

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and contingent creditors of and persons who may be otherwise interested in the will or estate, or both of John Earl Isham

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been led by Robert Isham in the Superior Court of Califor-nia, County of Los Angeles.

The PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Robert Isham be appointed as personal 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 administer the estate under the independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration 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 authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: November 10, 2020 at 8:30 AM, Dept: 79 \ or as scheduled of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, 111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles CA 90012

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the Califor-nia Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE- 154) of the ling of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
