March 3 City Council Election Countdown Continues

Webster Opens at Beverly Center 8

To round out this final week before the 2020 Presidential Primary Election concludes on Tuesday, March 3, the six official Beverly Hills City Council candidates shared their platforms at the Senior Adult Forum debate, which was held at the Roxbury Park Community Center on Feb. 24. It marked the final of five planned City Council candidate debates in Beverly Hills.

Once again, the two candidates the Courier chose to endorse, incumbent Council members Lili Bosse and Julian Gold,

M.D., proved themselves knowledgeable and informative in their responses.

“Community is everything,” emphasized Councilwoman Bosse, who spoke at length about BOLD, housing and safety. The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Bosse grew up in Beverly Hills, attending its public schools and later sending her two sons to them as well. After becoming deeply active within the PTAs and the Beverly Hills Education Foundation, Bosse went on to serve on the Traffic and Parking Commission and then

as a member of the Planning Commission before being elected to City Council nine years ago.

“What we need to focus on is housing for our seniors to make sure you can age in place and to bring the young generation and the families to stay in our community.

We need to make sure it’s a safe City,” she told the roughly four dozen attendees at the recent forum.

SINCE 1965

Los Angeles is no stranger to earthquakes.

But on Jan. 26, the ground shook in way that couldn’t be measured on the Richter scale—a helicopter crashed in Calabasas, claiming the lives of Kobe Bryant, 41; Gianna Bryant, 13; Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Keri Altobelli, 46; John Altobelli, 56; Payton Chester, 13; Sarah Chester, 45; Christina Mauser, 38; and the pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50. The tragedy was felt throughout our community, with friends and family immediately texting one another. The shockwaves quickly spread throughout the world.

On Feb. 24, roughly 20,000 people from all over the world came together in mourning for the memorial service celebrating the lives of Kobe and Gianna Bryant at Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles. In the crowd, men and women from all walks of life—children in strollers, seniors with walkers—locals and non-locals outfitted in Bryant Laker jerseys and graphic t-shirts with the faces of Bryant and Gianna with halos over their heads. The venue was completely sold out. Upon entering, guests were given a bag with a black cotton t-shirt printed with photos of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, a black circular pin with the letters ‘KB’ in yellow, a small pamphlet with pictures, and their ticket for, “A Celebration of Life: Kobe & Gianna Bryant" dated "2.24.20 | 10 a. m."

The star-studded memorial began with

Beyonce Knowles-Carter, wearing a gold suit and purple nail polish that spelled out the names “Kobe” and “Gigi.” Her live performance included “XO" and "Halo." Behind Beyonce stood a gospel choir in white suits.

Beverly Hills Faces $286M Unfunded Liability

BY L AUR A COLEMAN

The fact that Beverly Hills is facing $286.1 million of unfunded pension liabilities by the end of June, as revealed in a recent presentation to City Council, is profound.

For context, that amount would fund the Beverly Hills Police Department for five years.

In fact, the City’s entire projected current fiscal year revenue stream of $265.7 million is still less than its total known unfunded pension liabilities, which represents the City’s obligations in paying the pensions of its employees.

“It’s a big number,” stated Director of Finance Jeff S. Muir at the Feb. 18 City Council study session during a discussion on paying down the liability.

In reviewing a trio of strategies to pay down the projected debt, Muir based his presentation on the most recent actuarial valuation provided by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) on June 30, 2018, which was $280.8 million.

Strategies considered by the Council ranged from paying off the debt by 2035 to having the final payment occur in 2043.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 20-O-2802 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AND 9908 SANTA MONICA BLVD., LLC, FOR DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF THE PROPERTIES AT 9908 SOUTH SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD FOR A MIXED USE PROJECT INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS AND COMMERCIAL RETAIL USE This is a summary of the above entitled ordinance of the City of Beverly Hills. This summary has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.

This Ordinance approving a development agreement is associated with a 25-unit, four-story residential and commercial mixed-use Project located at 9908 South Santa Monica Boulevard. The Project required approval of various City entitlements, including: a Final EIR for the Project; a resolution approving a general plan amendment; an ordinance approving a zone text amendment and zone change; and a resolution approving a planned development and vesting tentative tract map for the Project.

The Development Agreement eliminates uncertainty in planning and provides for the orderly development of the Project in a manner consistent with the City’s Official Zoning Regulations and the City’s General Plan. The agreement provides assurance to the Developer that the Project can proceed with the uses, density and other land use characteristics specified in the Project approvals. The City has determined that substantial benefit to the Public will accrue as a result of the development of the Project, including without limitation, the provision of additional housing in the area, the development of a mixed-use retail and residential project on currently vacant land, revitalization of an area of the City with new retail uses and luxury housing, and a monetary contribution to the City.

The Development Agreement includes the following terms: • The requirement that the Developer pay the City a Public Benefit Contribution Fee of $5 million dollars. $1 million dollars shall be payed within 10 days of the effective date of the agreement or within 10 days of any tolling period related to any challenges to the Project’s approvals or the Project EIR. $1.5 million dollars shall be paid at the earlier of: 30 days after the issuance of a Building Permit or 36 months after the first payment. $2.5 million dollars shall be paid prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the Project.

• An Environmental Mitigation and Sustainability (EMS) Fee is required to be paid concurrent with the close of each sales transaction associated with the Project. This EMS fee is required for the life of the Project. The EMS fee for FEB. 28, 2020

the first sales transaction(s) is 2% of the sales transaction amount. A 3% EMS fee is applicable to any subsequent sales transactions.

• The Development Agreement has a 5 year term. The Developer has the option of exercising up to 2 one-year extensions. The Development must pay a $500,000 extension fee to exercise the first extension and a $1 million dollar extension fee to exercise the second extension.

• Public Parking Obligation. The Developer is required to provide 54 parking spaces at their project site to the public. The maximum charge for this public parking cannot exceed the rate charged at nearby City parking facilities.

The Project, including the Development Agreement, has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. A Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) was prepared to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the Project. On February 4, 2020, the City Council reviewed the Final EIR and, by resolution, certified the EIR and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance No. 20-O-2802 is available in the office of the City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Beverly Hills held a public hearing on February 4, 2020 and adopted Ordinance No. 20-O-2802 during the regular City Council meeting on February 18, 2020.

UCLA Raises $5.49 Billion

BY SANDR A SIMS

UCLA has raised $5.49 billion as part of its Centennial Campaign fundraising effort making it one of the most significant campaigns by a public university. The funds support a broad array of UCLA initiatives including student scholarships, fellowships, and faculty research. “As we celebrate UCLA's first hundred years, the Centennial Campaign for UCLA has exceeded its goals and engaged students, faculty, friends and

PAGE 4

leaders in setting up the university for an even more remarkable second century,'' said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block.

UCLA also received notable philanthropic commitments of more than $100 million, education and research. Funds raised through the campaign also include scholarships created by the cast and crew of “The Big Bang Theory” for students in science, technology, engineering and math fields.

(From left) Christina, Sebastian and Julia Vericella, Beverly Hills High School alumni and members of the family that owns Il Cielo, with Councilwoman Lili Bosse On Feb. 24, Beverly Hills City Council incumbent, Lili Bosse, held a campaign event at the restaurant Il Cielo targeting a very specific and sometimes forgotten demographic: millennials. “When I ran for office the last time, I was the only candidate who was using social media to really connect with all generations,” Bosse told the Courier.

Bosse is savvy when it comes to using Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to connect and engage with residents, particularly those who are younger. “I do my own social media, so anybody who wants to reach out to me will hear from me directly,” said Bosse.

“I don’t let anyone do it. Social media has always been my voice, so everything you see, that’s me personally posting or commenting.” On reaching millennials, Bosse said, “I don't think I have difficulty reaching younger voters because, in my mind, I don't see an age difference. I really listen to what an 18-year-old has to say and what an 88-year-old has to say.”

Many younger voters at the event know Bosse through their parents and the community, but most don’t know the names of all six candidates. A generation of younger people who grew up in the city and are fresh out of college or are early in their careers, can’t afford to live in Beverly Hills. Their families still live in Beverly Hills, but their friends don’t. Voters in their 20’s told the Courier that if there was a more active millennial population, they would be more inclined to be more present.

Among the crowd, there was a general sense of hopefulness that the future of Beverly Hills will help enable them to come back home and raise families of their own here. In large part, their opinions are shaped by their positive experience at BHHS where the consensus was students felt academically challenged and stimulated.

Beverly Hills Public Library Eliminates Fines for Youth

BY L AUR A COLEMAN

Youngsters will no longer have to pay the price for overdue books at the Beverly Hills Public Library thanks to a recent decision to eliminate fines on materials checked out by youth under 18 years old.

“We have found that overdue fines prevent young patrons from checking out books and other materials and we are here to encourage people to use library services, not obstruct them from doing so,” said Library Administrator Karen Buth. “We want our materials to be returned on time but understand that children are not able to come to the library without their caregivers, and we hope this new policy provides the flexibility they need.”

After looking at the numbers, library staff found that overdue fines comprised less than one percent of the library’s operating budget and in fact cost more in staff time to collect than what was received.

In addition to actually costing the library money, Buth said that overdue fines seemed to prevent children from checking out books and other materials from the library.

In tandem with the new policy, the library also cleared all current youth

FEB. 28, 2020

accounts, eliminating any existing fines so that all youngsters now have a clean slate.

While fines are eliminated, fees for books not returned after 30 days will continue to be assessed as lost and billed accordingly.

Patrons will then have 30 more days to pay the bill or return their books.

“While we don’t want late fees to deter people from using our services, we value our collection and will continue to charge for lost books so they can be replaced and to ensure our collection remains complete,” Buth said.

Among the newest additions to the library's collection are 160,000 materials of TV and radio broadcast history once housed by the Paley Center for Media, which recently closed its Beverly Hills location.

The library also instituted another new policy of not charging patrons to place a reserve on books or other materials. Patrons are allowed up to 10 reserves or requests per account and once the item is reserved, it is held for seven business days.

Beverly Hills Takes Steps to Educate Community on Brink of Coronavirus Pandemic

BY L AUR A COLEMAN

With pundits predicting continued exponential growth across the globe of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first identified in Wuhan, China, the City of Beverly Hills is taking active steps to educate residents about the disease and what they can best do to prepare.

“While the overall risk associated with Novel Coronavirus remains low according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the City continues to prepare for this and all emergencies,” Director of Emergency Management, Resilience and Recovery Pamela Mottice-Muller told the Courier. “And as the City does its part to prepare, we ask our residents to remain vigilant, prepare emergency supplies, practice good hygiene and make healthy choices.”

Touted as a global silent pandemic, given the virus’s long asymptotic incubation period – around 83,000 people have been infected all over the world – countries continue to take active measures, each in different ways.

In Italy, for example, which until last week

had just a handful of cases before ballooning to 650 this week, some 50,000 people in 11 cities are now on lockdown. In China, which is now reporting just under 78,500 cases and 2,800 deaths, tens of millions of people have been on lockdown throughout the country for weeks.

And while quarantining a city may seem like a preposterous notion in modern day U.S., experts say that such draconian measures may in fact be the only way to successfully contain an outbreak. Like all respiratory viruses, COVID-19 appears to spread predominately from close person-to-person contact within six feet.

While it is unlikely that the City will be forced to imminently go on lockdown, it is not outside the realm of possibility that such a need may arise one day in the future. City spokesperson Keith Sterling told the Courier that any such decision involving a citywide quarantine would not be unilateral and would involve both the CDC and the County.

Real Estate Pendry Residences and Montage Continues West Coast Expansion

BY CAROLE DIXON

Pendry Residences Park City Imagine a ski beach with world-class dining and a cozy tequila yurt when you head down from some of the country’s best slopes at the Canyons Village in Park City.

Brentwood based developer Brian Shirken of Columbus Pacific Properties, who hails from Durban, South Africa, is bringing those perks and more to the mountain ski town just a short one hour and twenty-minute flight from Los Angeles.

As the first luxury national brand to enter the Park City marketplace in the past nine years, Pendry Residences Park City will fully open in 2021 but has already released part of the collection for 2020.

Yes, Hollywood flocks to Park City around Sundance film festival time but the growth spurt really began about six years ago when Vail Resorts entered the local market and connected Park City and Canyons Mountain, creating the largest ski mountain in the United States. With the world-class mountain primed for more ski tourism and vacation homes, they needed the accommodations to match.

According to Shirken, who has been skiing here with his family for decades, “Its exactly what was missing. People love Park City but they needed something accessible and family-friendly. It will be cool with variety for everyone from high-end to casual.”

Shirken and his wife Kirsten, who has been building homes in the area for the past six years, were apparently right on the money. They sold more than 50 percent of the 152 Pendry units in the first 90 days.

“Historically most of the accommodations in Park City are mid-market and then highend in Deer Valley.”

Before you think this will become yet another high-priced development out of financial reach for most locals, this is not the plan. “Park City was lacking the 5-star experience but at an accessible price point,”

PAGE 10

Shirken told the Courier. “We wanted to create something more accessible but not sacrificing luxury and experience. We are right in the center of all the action and will have a new ski lift that will provide access into the heart of the mountain. We are creating the new ski village for the Canyons base.”

The Shirkens decided to build smaller units and develop a wider range of properties so that people had access at various price points. The range is from $595,000 for studio to $3.5 million for a penthouse and everything in between.

“We wanted it to be luxurious, architectural, high-service but accessible and hip, cool and energetic,” said Shirken. “We were introduced to the Pendry, Edition and One Hotel and it became clear that is what we wanted out position to be.”

“It was time to build this type of project,”

confirmed Shirken. “For us, Montage was the company that we wanted to work with and their Pendry brand. We felt like they could be our partner and because it’s our first hotel we wanted a partner that could engage with us in a way that would have them looking at the project from our perspective as well as theirs.”

This meant partnering with Alan and Michael Fuerstman, the dynamic father-son duo behind the Montage and Pendry brands in Southern California and Deer Valley. Alan is the founder, chairman and CEO of Montage International, and Mike is the co-founder and creative director for the Pendry. “Mike has humility and a sense of style and a strong sense of the vision for the brand,” Shirken told the Courier. “Montage has some of the best professionals working in the industry whether it be in construction or design, marketing or sales and they brought all of those resources to the table to enable us to create what we think is a really spectacular project.”

Those resources include renowned architects SB out of San Francisco with IBI Group and top notch designers KES out of L.A. This team enabled them to create the lobby bar and a signature Japanese steak house with Montage that will lead to the only rooftop pool and bar in the area.

“We wanted to hire the best of the best with the same passion and energy for the project that we have,” said Shirken. “And to have a very well respected, recognized brand like Pendry-Montage running the property.”

This includes when people aren’t using their unit, Pendry will be renting it for them to offset cost of ownership.

The ski in-and-out resort is fully furnished turn-key down to kitchen utensils marrying modern elegance and rustic mountain charm, with Italian Bertazzoni appliances in the open kitchens and a palette of warm woods, stones and metals, creating inviting interior spaces.

Guests and residential owners will also have access to Spa Pendry with eight treatment rooms; a fitness center; Kids Club, video

arcade and more. Plus, this development is closer to the airport than Deer Valley.

With a handful of other projects being built in the area, one can’t help but wonder how laid back and understated Park City will escape the peril of becoming another Aspen or Vail. “We are building a work-force housing project so that people can afford to live here,” said Shirken.

“One of the biggest problems of ski towns is people that work in the resorts can’t afford to live there, but this is being done in a master plan kind of way with all levels of affordability and environmentally sensitive as well,” he added.

There is a city plan in place for Park City to be carbon neutral by 2030. “Climate change is an existential risk to the ski industry,” said Shirken, “So all of our energy will be renewable.”

“This is an amazing quality of life. Many ski towns aren’t real. We have great restaurants, bars and clubs. We have it all but it’s understated. We are not Aspen,” Shirken concluded.

While L.A. is flocking, so is the next generation of Mexico City. For Shirken it’s not just the winter sports but also the amazing summers with hiking, biking, waterskiing, fly fishing and golf. “It takes you away from all the problems of the world when you are here.”

Back in Los Angeles, Pendry Hotels & Resorts has already announced the first release of Pendry Residences West Hollywood

by Montage Hotels & Resorts for purchase.

Together with AECOM Capital, the investment adviser of global infrastructure firm AECOM, and Combined Properties Chairman Ronald S. Haft, the Sunset Boulevard corner in the old House of Blues space is still in full construction mode but scheduled for a fall 2020 opening. At this location, the 40 residences will range from $3 million to $30 million and will include a 149-room hotel with multiple Wolfgang Puck concepts and a membership only club called The Britely.

The Rooftop Pool and Bar Pendry Park City

FEB. 28, 2020

The Britely Private Club West Hollywood Architectural residences by EYRC feature floorplans ranging from 2,900 to 6,000 square feet with large private verandas. Select homes include landscaped terraces of up to 3,400 square feet with private pools, spas, and outdoor kitchens with incredible views.

Designed by Martin Brudnizki, the interiors include custom kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows, white oak floors, Poliform walk-in closets and dressing rooms, and private elevator access from a secured parking garage.

Swiss-born Estelle Lacroix who worked for Thomas Keller in New York, and opened the NeueHouse in Hollywood, was brought in as the Managing Director of Lifestyle for the private club that will only be accepting 2,000 members. “We are trying to build a community,” said LaCroix. “A lot of social clubs and co-working spaces have opened in the area but we want to focus on being a place for fun and an intimate community with lots of amenities and programming.”

Part of that programming will include a private garden entrance, an L.A. focused retail store, a rec room with a bowling alley and screening room, plus a private elevator that will take you to the spa, 24-hour gym, pool or private rooftop with a Hollywood Hills view. There will be a music venue programed several times a week with a 200-person capacity and hopefully, the popular Live at Montage concert series from Deer Valley will continue at this location. Lacroix added, “What music venue in LA gives you access to great food and drinks?”

Five Questions with Mike Fuerstman, Co-Founder and Creative Director for Pendry BHC: How are you splitting your time between locations in West Hollywood and Park City?

Mike Fuerstman: My family and I lived blocks from where Pendry West Hollywood is located for almost 10 years, and while we reside most of the year in Orange County, will FEB. 28, 2020

The Pendry Residences West Hollywood still own our home in West Hollywood. It is one of the most exciting, dynamic, and walkable neighborhoods in the world. We plan to spend much of the year at Pendry West Hollywood as the epicenter for our social life and business lives. I’m sure we will host lots of dinners, entertain in the social club and on the rooftop, and generally be around to mingle with guests and friends, making sure the hotel feels amazing.

Pendry Park City will be our winter escape. The summer in the mountains is lovely as well, but we wait all year for the snow and the chance to ski and make memories together. Between the festive season, Sundance, ski week, and a couple of long weekends, we will be there plenty in the winter. We will usually go for at least a few weekends in the summer as well.

What was your vision for Pendry Park City and why did you want to expand in that market?

We envision Pendry Park City to be a modern ski resort, one of the first in North America with a contemporary architectural point of view. The design is elegant and chic, yet comfortable. We will have unique venues that aren’t typically featured in a ski resort, such as a rooftop pool and event space, disco parlor, several boutiques for shopping, a variety of interesting restaurants, and some other surprises.

We have always loved Park City (and personally it’s where I learned how to ski) and we have had great success with our Montage Deer Valley resort. But we’ve always been on the lookout for the opportunity to create another type of mountain resort, one that is much more contemporary in design and programming, to push forward the idea of what a North American ski hotel can be.

When we met Brian and Kirsten Shirken, our visionary partners, and began to hear their ambition for a modern resort in the middle of The Canyons, we knew this was the perfect fit for Pendry.

Are there plans to expand the Live at the Montage music concept to the West Hollywood or Pendry Park City or how will music be infused in the properties?

Live at Montage is awesome! I’m really proud of the program our team at Montage Deer Valley has put together. We would love to do something similar for Pendry Park City, we’re just starting to explore what a collaboration would look like and are talking to a few artists. Fortunately, we have the venues to create something spectacular. Live music is in our DNA as a company, so our guests can almost certainly expect some sort of cultural music series.

There are similarities but how will the audience and programming of events differ from Sunset strip to Park City and the forthcoming La Quinta location?

Every Pendry property offers bold and sophisticated design and caters to guests that want a stylish, luxury experience, but yes, West Hollywood, Park City, and La Quinta are all very different. And each Pendry Hotel has an entirely unique collection of offerings that are reflective of its destination. Pendry West Hollywood, for example, has a Social Club with bar and bowling alley, a screening room, a music venue, and some glamorous and intimate bars. And all of the culinary offerings are in partnership with LA’s most acclaimed chef, Wolfgang Puck. The vibe is very glamorous and very LA, and the venues and programming reflect as much.

Pendry Park City is the center of a ski village, with a ski-in, ski-out location and jumping off point for outdoor experiences, an amazing Après ski bar and lounge, multiple restaurants, a disco parlor, a collection of shopping boutiques. The style is contemporary and fresh, with offerings that are active and bustling.

With Pendry La Quinta, we are bringing to life a modern desert resort experience.

The architecture is mid-century, the interiors

are clean and sophisticated, and both take advantage of the sweeping views of the Santa Rosa mountains. The grounds are serene while the pool scene is buzzing. We have an incredible golf course that wraps the base of the mountain, as well as our neighboring Montage property with a signature Spa Montage. The whole setting allows for this amazing escapism, just a few hours’ drive from LA. All three properties, West Hollywood (city), Park City (mountains), and La Quinta (desert) feature amazing spas and fitness centers, resort pools, and some of the best assortments of bars and restaurants in their destinations. And all offer truly spectacular residences available for purchase, which allow our guests to live more permanently with us and enjoy this lifestyle year-round.

With so much competition in L.A. especially on Sunset - how do you plan to keep things interesting for the Pendry project? What do you see as key differentiators for the brand in the West Hollywood location?

We’re really fortunate at Pendry West Hollywood. We have a world class location on Sunset, with views of all of Los Angeles.

We have world class architecture and interiors, with AIA architect of the year Ehrlich Architects and esteemed designer Martin Brudnizki, respectively. We have one of the all-time great chefs, Wolfgang Puck, a Los Angeleno, overseeing all of the culinary destinations on property. On top of that, we are introducing a Social Club, screening room, music venue, rooftop pool, and a tremendous spa. And as a Southern California luxury hospitality company, this is a home market for us, and our team is so excited to bring our gracious service culture to West Hollywood and make our guests and residents feel amazing. This should be a winning combination of team, product, place, and culture - we can’t wait to bring it to life.

of Europe at the brand’s casual café spin-off, edo. Here you can find a walk-up counter and bar with only a few tables where you can nip in for a coffee or a quick sandwich during the day. Mind you, there is also a long line with a wait by about 12pm."

“Every day the same people come and it’s always busy,” said longtime employee

Enrique Sosa who worked at the Beverly Hills flagship before setting off to help with the current expansion.

This Italian staple has spread further west in 2018 with edo little bites at Palisades Village in Pacific Palisades owned by Caruso.

Renowned chef and celebrated restauranteur Edoardo Baldi recently entered into his second venture with Caruso to open edo by edoardo baldi at The Grove in late December of 2019.

“It is a dream come true to have a restaurant at The Grove,” said Edoardo Baldi.

“We have a location at another Caruso property, Palisades Village, which has been a tremendous success for us and I am looking forward to replicating that success here at The Grove.”

The popular and endlessly crowded outdoor mall offers plenty of foot traffic for seated service akin to the Canon Drive restaurant but also grab-and-go options including a walk-up espresso and pastry counter all under one roof. Menu highlights include the edo croissant, e. baldi’s famous chicken salad, and fusilli Al Pacino.

Located down a charming cobble-stone path on Bow Street with twinkling lights next to See’s Candies, the new location embodies Edoardo’s signature culinary excellence while combining the beautiful balance of his Tuscan-style Beverly Hills fine dining establishment with his more playful cafés.

Born in Tuscany, Edoardo Baldi grew up learning how to cook true Italian food from his mother and grandmothers. At the age of ten, he moved to Los Angeles with his family, where his father opened Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi, which quickly became and remains one of the city’s most coveted and exclusive fine dining establishments located in Santa Monica. Today, Baldi continues to celebrate and share the passion of his culinary heritage, rooted in Italian cuisine using simple ingredients. Or as Baldi describes it, “Tuscan food with an accent of Emilia-Romanga.”

Even with the other cafe locations, the pizza dough and pastas are still prepared every day at ebaldi on Canon Drive to keep the same quality that has made this eatery a landmark in 90210 for decades.

Back at The Grove, they are building on the energy of the café that complements Caruso’s experience-driven mission. “We have been so pleased with the incredible success of edo little bites at Palisades Village, so bringing Edoardo Baldi’s newest creation to The Grove was a natural next step for us,” said Julie Jauregui, Senior Vice President, Retail Operations and Leasing at Caruso.

“We’re excited to offer our guests a place to enjoy some of Baldi’s famous Italian staples as they relax on Bow Street, or grab coffee and pastries as they explore and shop at The Grove.”

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, edo by edoardo baldi offers a relaxing respite from a hectic lifestyle anytime of the day or night with Italian favorites from the original menu plus a curated selection of wines and specialty cocktails such as the Limoncello, lemon sorbetto and prosecco, which could also double as a dessert.

This sleek location was also personally designed by Baldi. The restaurant’s interiors encompass a stylish modern lounge, furnished by Ligne Roset, while outdoor seating spills onto the street where diners can people watch The Grove customers. AO served as the official architect for the space and are also partnering with Baldi for the edo little bites location coming to Manhattan Village in Manhattan Beach this year.

“The Grove was a natural fit for our next café. It’s a magical place, that goes so much beyond just shopping and I love watching the guests here make memories together with friends and family. We are now beginning construction on our next location in Manhattan Village, and are in discussion to bring the edo line of cafes to the San Fernando Valley,” confirmed Baldi. edolittlebites.com.

(Election continued from page 1) “Our goal has to be able to create an environment where seniors can age in place.

Certainly that would be my goal, to be able to stay here forever and have a City which supports that and allows that to happen,” said Councilman Gold, who served on both the Traffic and Parking Commission and the Recreation and Parks Commission before being elected to City Council in 2011 along with Bosse.

Dr. Gold, an anesthesiologist for 40 years, highlighted the recently expanded Nurse Practitioner Program, which he helped bring to life, as a novel method in which the City supports its residents and particularly its senior population.

Lori Gordon, a member of the Planning Commission since 2015, likewise offered thoughtful potential solutions to help improve the City. One suggestion made by Gordon, who grew up here and attended the local public schools, as did her two daughters, was to provide residents with parking passes that would make it free for them to park in Beverly Hills during the evenings in order to incentivize locals to patronize local establishments, like restaurants. Gordon also recommended dramatically revamping the Planning Department and moving forward with a mixed-use ordinance.

Write-in candidate attorney Aimee Zeltzer, whose name voters will actually have to write on the ballot, was consistent with her previous entreaties that the City prioritize closing the Pico Oil Refinery and keeping open the City-owned “Log Cabin” in West Hollywood. Closer to home, Zeltzer,

who served as a board member of the South Robertson Neighborhood Council before moving to Beverly Hills this past November, advocated creating an auxiliary police force.

Currently, Beverly Hills does have a small reserve police force (the term for “auxiliary police force” on the west coast), consisting of seven volunteer officers.

Technologist Robin Rowe emphasized his plan to build two 70-story towers in Beverly Hills and for the first time during a debate, refrained from mentioning his plan to build a gondola in the sky as a solution for the City’s traffic woes. For the third time during a debate, he also misstated the City’s current housing obligation, incorrectly saying that Beverly Hills had been tasked to build thousands of units over the past recent years.

Rabbi Sidney Green continued with his push to allow marijuana dispensaries and warehouses to operate in the City of Beverly Hills. However, unlike in previous candidate forums where he occasionally elicited laughter from the audience with seemingly playful suggestions, such as adding a kosher ice cream shop as the solution to declining business tax revenue, Green went on the offensive, even asking the incumbents to drop out of the race at one point.

Items discussed at length included cannabis, housing, nightlife, safety, security, and the forthcoming subway.

“The most important thing you can do is vote,” said former Mayor Les Bronte, who moderated the forum.

Registered voters can vote now through March 3 at two locations in Beverly Hills,

as well as at any active vote center around the county.

Local voting locations are currently open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day) at City Hall and the Beverly Hilton. On Feb. 29, the Beverly Hills Women’s Club will also open its doors to accept absentee ballots as well as give voters the chance to use the brand-new Voting System for All People (VSAP), a touchscreen computerized ballot-marking device.

As of Feb. 26, 259 residents had voted in-person at a Vote Center and 1,668

vote-by-mail ballots had been returned.

There are a total of 21,856 registered voters in Beverly Hills. However, people can register to vote at a Vote Center through Election Day, March 3, in order to have their vote count in the election.

Those who do vote in person will need to hit the “more” button on the City Council race in order to see all candidates listed on the ballot.

“Don’t hit ‘next’ until you hit ‘more,’” recommends City Clerk Huma Ahmed.

Health and Wellness Health and Safety Commission Meeting Roundup

BY SANDR A SIMS

The City of Beverly Hills strongly enforces smoking regulations that apply to traditional tobacco smoke, electronic cigarettes/vaping devices, and smoking of cannabis products.

The Health and Safety Commission addressed this critical health issue during its meeting on Feb. 24, as it relates to vaping policies impacting Beverly Hills schools. The Commission also explored the potential health risks associated with 5G networks as part of its series of presentations from experts in the field. In addition, the Commission honored the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for its service to the Beverly Hills community, including outreach to Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) students.

Commission Vice Chairperson Cathy Baker told the Courier, “We chose to recognize and honor NAMI for their dedication to fighting the stigma behind mental illness and for assisting so many to live their best lives despite the challenges faced in mental health.”

Anti-vaping Regulations Consistent with the City’s efforts to adopt regulations to prohibit smoking, Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education Vice President Rachelle Marcus presented to the Commission the District's new Vaping Resolution to oversee a multi- faceted educational campaign to eliminate student

PAGE 14

vaping at BHHS and Beverly Vista Middle School (BVMS). The educational resources will relate to prevention and cessation. She stated that there will also be a “Healthy Kids” survey to assess attitudes and use related to smoking.

In response to an inquiry from Commission Chairperson Daniel Nazarian DMD about what the District is doing regarding enforcement of vaping, Marcus explained that the District is enforcing the policy with the use of camera surveillance. She noted that there are limits to the surveillance due to areas without cameras (e.g., restrooms) that they need to monitor.

Education and enforcement of vaping regulations is in full force in the City as they introduced no-smoking/vaping street pole banners installed in several high-traffic areas.

75 street pole banners were installed on Feb. 18 across various locations in Beverly Hills.

Study on Potential Risks of 5G Networks As part of the Commission’s ongoing review of potential risks associated with radio frequency safety and public exposure standards and regulations, expert Jerrold T. Bushberg Ph.D presented that 5G networks transmission of power lowers exposures of harmful radio frequency. He stated that the scientific resource is inconclusive at this time

as to whether proximity to cellphone towers was a high risk.

Several residential neighborhoods, including those in Venice, Glendale, and Burbank, have expressed similar concerns about the health risks of 5G network towers. Over the summer, the San Diego City Council voted to pass regulations about where 5G towers should go. The regulation included special protections for historic areas and instructions to keep the new antennas unobtrusive.

NAMI Mental Health Services During the recognition of NAMI for their leadership in providing mental health services

to members of the Beverly Hills community, Baker described NAMI as an “unsung hero that saves lives.” NAMI offers Beverly Hills residents free education services.

Executive Director Erin Raftery Ryan, Program Director Tim Davis, and chair of the fundraising committee Adaline Fagen received the honor on behalf of NAMI. Ryan stated that NAMI is “changing the narrative about mental health to remove the shame and stigma." NAMI has worked collaboratively with the Norman Aid Student Support Center at BHHS. NAMI also plans to provide services to BVMS. Davis said, “Our work is not done."

(Unfunded continued from page 1) The discussion represented an initial meaningful step in moving forward with a plan to pay off all future liabilities before 2043, as is currently budgeted, which would translate to a total repayment of $541 million (including $255 million in interest).

The discussion built upon work done by the Blue Ribbon Committee on unfunded liabilities, which was established by prior Mayor Julian Gold. At that time, City Treasurer Howard Fisher led the Committee to review the City’s long-term pension and benefit unfunded liabilities, as well as study what other entities are doing. At the conclusion of the Committee’s work, Fisher proposed that the City incorporate regular savings or investment to serve as an unfunded liability reduction.

“I think we need to be as conservative, and in this case that means dynamic, about paying off the unfunded liability, but also in stopping the hole from getting worse,” said Mayor John Mirisch.

According to Muir, the City stands to save $97 million by accelerating amortization of the unfunded pension liability over a 15-year period, a move supported by Council.

Using CalPERS assumptions, Muir projected the City's balance would be $286.1 million on June 30. If the 15-year plan is adopted, he projected that it would drop to $275.7 million in 2021. Otherwise, if the current payment plan remains in place, Muir’s presentation showed the balance dropping to just $284.7 million next year.

Statewide, California Pension Tracker estimates the total pension debt at over

FEB. 28, 2020

$308.5 billion. Pension Tracker, a project out of Stanford University, ranked Beverly Hills as the City with the sixth highest market pension debt per household.

By using existing, dedicated resources to make additional contributions to CalPERS, such as funds within the Section 115 Trust and the budgeted $5 million additional pension contributions, (which are poised to begin annually this year following last month’s vote by the City Council to incorporate the payments into future budgets), the City stands to more expeditiously divest itself of its onerous unfunded liability obligation. The Post-Employment Benefits Section 115 Trust, which currently has $23 million, allows the City to pre-fund a portion of its pensions obligation.

As outlined in Muir's presentation, the City could increase its current budgeted payment of $20.7 million for this fiscal year to $29.4 million as an initial step toward paying off its obligation in the next 15 years.

That additional $8.7 million injection, as proposed, would be funded by the $5 million additional budgeted pension contribution and $3.7 million from the 115 Trust.

As part of the proposal, the City would continue to allocate an additional $5 million from the General Fund to its planned pension contributions for 10 years, at which point the need for the additional money would cease as well as any financial injections from the 115 Trust, which would at that point be depleted. At that time, in 2030, the City would subsequently be paying markedly less than its projected current payment schedule for the remaining five years.

(Coronavirus continued from page 5) To prevent contracting COVID-19, or any other virus, Mottice-Muller underscored the importance of staying healthy. Such measures include: eating well and practicing good hygiene such as frequently washing your hands and utilizing hand sanitizer; keeping a distance between anyone who is coughing or sneezing; avoiding touching the face; and staying home if you feel unwell.

As clusters of infected continue to balloon across the globe, such as the recent explosion in South Korea, pundits caution that the U.S. is woefully under-prepared to even assess the number infected. Currently, the CDC only allows testing for those who have recently been to China or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus. However, up to 40 state public health labs could soon begin testing for COVID-19. Just three states, including California, have the capabilities to test now.

To prepare for the virus potentially showing up locally, the City is actively working in partnership with local, state and federal health officials (including the CDC and L.A. County Department of Public Health) to receive guidance and coordinate response.

In addition, the Beverly Hills Pandemic Planning Committee, active since 2006, has been meeting, along with City leaders, to prepare for any potential impacts from the Novel Coronavirus or any other emerging disease.

Mottice-Muller said that City staff has been trained to deal with Novel Coronavirus and are capable of responding to any emerging disease and implementing appropriate

healthcare protocols. In addition, she said the City would continue to operate normally if it does arrive here.

“The City has robust business continuity plans in place for all departments and services to ensure the continuing operation of City government,” stated the Office of Emergency Management, which is currently in the process of developing an informational pamphlet to share with the community.

To prepare for the spreading of the virus and the potential need to stay home, the City recommends that residents should stock up on food, water, medicine and other necessities for at least seven to 14 days and continue to monitor City communication channels and local media. While the CDC does not recommend routine use of a face mask or respirator, the City recommends including face masks as part of a personal emergency kit.

At this time, the CDC recommends that people avoid all nonessential travel to mainland China and South Korea. Travel advisory updates can be found by visiting travel.state. gov. According to the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, there are no restrictions on large public gatherings and there is currently no need to cancel school or social events.

Residents are advised to sign up to receive notifications by visiting beverlyhills.org/ emergencynotification or texting BEVHILLS to 888777.

Education Beverly Vista Middle School Seeks Alternatives for Staff Parking

BY SANDR A SIMS

Beverly Vista Middle School (BVMS) has reached many milestones in its first year, including launching a successful athletic program, a science fair, and various art programs. One issue that BVMS is in the process of addressing is access to parking for staff and teachers. During a Board of Education meeting this month, Principal Kevin Allen addressed the Board about alternative parking solutions for school employees — some of whom have received parking citations due to unsuccessful attempts to find parking for the duration of the work day. A Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) spokesperson told the Courier that the Board of Education is currently exploring options with local religious institutions, vacant residential buildings, city lots, and private parking lots for additional parking spaces to remedy this problem.

According to Allen, there are currently 70 parking spots in the BVMS parking area with 3 spots designated for individuals with disabilities. In addition, there are 11 spots in a separate parking structure used by BVMS staff.

There are 35 remaining staff members who do not have access to the parking structures and have to resort to parking on the streets.

This number includes Allen, two other administrators, instruction aids, playground aids,

PAGE 20

custodial staff, groundskeepers, and cafeteria staff. Parking citations are of particular concern for part-time staff such as the cafeteria workers, because of the cost of the ticket. “A $60 ticket represents their day wages,” Allen told the Courier. He added that the 11 parking spaces at the separate lot are inconvenient on rainy days, or when faculty or staff has to transport large objects. It is located about a ten-minute walk from the campus.

Allen said that the parking space issue is still in the process of being resolved. “It does happen on occasion that staff receives citations. When that happens, we are not reimbursed." He added, "The district is working on and is close to achieving an alternative for us.”

Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) spokesperson Lieutenant Elisabeth Albanese told the Courier that the police department is aware of the situation, but no one has contacted their office to complain about receiving a citation. Albanese explained that there is no way to know if the person receiving the ticket is a Beverly Vista school employee.

A second related issue impacting parking on or near Beverly Vista Middle School is a petition filed by Beverly Hills residents requesting to change parking restrictions on

the 200 block of S. Crescent Drive from onehour parking to permit parking only. Aaron Kunz, Deputy Director of Transportation for the Beverly Hills Community Development Department told the Courier that the Traffic & Parking Commission voted on Feb. 6 in favor of the permit parking modification (3 in favor, 1 opposed and 1 abstained). He said, “As of now, we plan to take it to City Council

on April 21.” Kunz stated that the meeting date is subject to change depending upon the City Council's agenda for its regular session. The City Council will ultimately make the final determination as to the permit change.

(Kobe continued from page 1) Very rarely, there is someone so unique who is able to transcend beyond one community because it could be said he or she belongs to all communities. In many ways, Kobe Bryant was that person.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in Italy, Kobe returned to Philadelphia for high school. At his alma mater, Lower Merion High School, grieving fans brought flowers, jerseys, basketballs, and other memorabilia to a memorial.

Drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers at age 17, Bryant never left for the entirety of his 20-year basketball career. The 18-time NBA All-Star, Bryant led the Lakers to win five championships and became one of the greatest basketball players in history.

Laker luminaries including Magic Johnson, Phil Jackson, Jerry West, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Elgin Baylor, Michael Cooper, Pau Gasol, Byron Scott, Metta World Peace, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Sasha Vujacic and former trainer Gary Vitti were also in attendance. In addition, current Lakers LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, Kyle Kuzma, JaVale McGee and owner Jeanie Buss were present.

The crowd saw the likes of Bill Russell, one of the greatest Boston Celtics and longtime rival; Dwayne Wade, retired Miami Heat star; and Russell Westbrook, point guard for the Houston Rockets was named the NBA’s MVP in 2016-17. Players who have been booed at Laker home games were welcomed as part of the Laker family. Players who requested to be traded over feuds within

FEB. 28, 2020

teams were sitting somberly together like family.

Michael Jordan was among the people eulogizing Bryant. Even a world-famous NBA legend had a waterfall of tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. “When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died,” Jordan said in his speech. “And as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died, or else you wouldn’t be here.” Bryant idolized Jordan since childhood and the two met on the court when Bryant was 18-years-old, during a 1996 Laker-Bulls game. To see a seemingly invincible figure such as Jordan sobbing live was nothing if not stunning.

Angeleno’s notoriously spend a great deal of time driving, and it is impossible to traverse the city without seeing Bryant and Gianna’s face, name, or number. Is it not just basketball fans who are mourning, but thousands upon thousands of people who he inspired. Murals of the father-daughter duo decorate the streets of our city. City busses flash the words “RIP KOBE.” Storefronts have signs that read, “We miss you Kobe and Gigi.”

Billboards with a photo of Bryant holding a basketball that say, “Mamba Forever,” and Pink Dot on Sunset Boulevard has painted Bryant and Gianna’s jersey with their respective number on the exterior.

In the same way Bryant belonged to Los Angeles, he belonged to his widow, Vanessa Bryant, and his three daughters left behind: Natalia, 17; Bianka, 3; and Capri, who is less than a year old. On Feb. 24, in her first public appearance since the death of her husband, Vanessa bravely stood before thousands of people at Staples Center and the entire

world. Vanessa first eulogized her daughter, Gianna, her baby girl whose life ended at the tender age of 13. She said, “I’ll never get to see my baby girl walk down the aisle, have a father-daughter dance with her daddy, dance on the dance floor with me, or have babies of her own.” Vanessa continued, “Now they [her daughters] won’t have their daddy and sister here to teach them [basketball], and that is truly a loss I do not understand.”

Vanessa then directed her words straight to her late husband, telling him, “We’re still the best team…We love you both and miss you forever and always. Mommy.” Bryant belonged to Vanessa. Bryant belonged to Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri.

Kobe Bryant belonged to many, including our community. Bryant will forever remain in history as first and foremost, our Los Angeles Laker.

BY HOLIDAY MATIS

We Have a Star Running for Office in Beverly Hills Lili Bosse has devoted the last two decades of her life to public service and civic activism bringing innovative, creative, and healthy energy to our community.

She is a thoughtful, insightful, and inspiring leader. She brings heart to public policy and encourages a community spirit that is unique in our history.

Her Monday morning walks introduced parts of our city to hundreds of residents and created many new friendship.

Most importantly, she gave anyone who wanted to talk to her a time and place to be heard. Lili listens.

She has all the dedication, insight, and heart to win my complete support of her reelection and I urge you to vote for her.

I look forward to four more years of her leadership and visionary planning for the future of our city.

I also want to thank her husband, Jon, for sharing her with us.

ROBBIE ANDERSON

A Message from Beverly Hills City Treasurer I am Howard Fisher and I thank you for the honor of serving as your City Treasurer.

I am writing this letter in support of the reelection of Councilmember Dr. Julian Gold.

As your Treasurer, I have a unique view of our City. It is an amazing city - one which is the envy of most of the world. Our municipal services, fire, police, public works are exceptional and, as a result, the residential quality of life is very high. There is always room to improve but we are truly fortunate.

This does not occur by luck or happenstance. It takes hard work on the part of dedicated City staff, and more hard work and vision from our City Council. Dr. Gold has been vital to that work and that vision. He feels deeply about our City. He understands that our City’s future depends on a vision which protects our residents and honors

our past, but also looks to a future which keeps our City fresh and vital. Under his leadership the City has seen year over year surpluses in our general fund budget, while our City services have increased and our City infrastructure has been maintained. This is critically important to both our current residential quality of life and also helps us move into the future.

Dr. Gold has demonstrated his honesty and integrity in his decision making. He always explains his decisions, even the truly difficult ones, to justify how he votes – He is the definition of transparency. Dr. Gold cannot be bought, influenced, or swayed by anything but the facts and what he believes is in the best interests of this community.

Anyone who knows him knows this to be true. To suggest he could be influenced by

outside interests is nonsense, and frankly is an insult to not only to him but our entire City.

We are at a crossroads for our City. We must focus on what has made us great and what we need to do to continue that in the future. Dr Gold is critical to our City’s future prosperity and the preservation of our quality of life.

From my position, there are few elections in the City’s history which are as critical as this one. I ask you to join me in voting for the future of our City and ask you to vote for Councilmember Dr. Julian Gold.

THANK YOU, HOWARD FISHER

Beverly Hills Police Department Conducts a Sobriety Checkpoint

BY SANDR A SIMS

The Beverly Hills Police Department Traffic Bureau will be conducting a sobriety and driver license checkpoint on Feb. 28 at an undisclosed location within city limits.

The checkpoint will be operational from approximately 9:00 p.m. to around 3:00 a.m.. All traffic will pass through the checkpoint. Drivers will be stopped by Beverly Hills uniformed police officers, who will be checking for alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers. In addition to the sobriety check,

officers will also make sure that all drivers have a valid driver license. Sergeant Gregg Mader informed the Courier that there will be another Sobriety checkpoint this summer funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.

The Beverly Hills Police Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 28). The spontaneous good fortune you experience in the next four weeks will let you know that you are on the right path. Stay open to solutions.

Preconceived notions will be the enemy through March and April. What ultimately happens will defy expectations and delight you. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 22, 21 and 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No one is better or cooler than anyone else. However, those who have taken more risks in a shorter amount of time will certainly come off as heroes. Worship cautiously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be like a tree rooted in the earth that is the element of your sign. You’ll stay grounded and grow incrementally, defying timelines. And you’ll let go of and regrow your “leaf” equivalents in due time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To run your whole life on adrenaline is not a sustainable model. It won’t work in the long term.

Though, certainly, the adrenaline challenges you set up in the short run will be a burst to get you to the goal.

CANCER ( June 22-July 22). People do well-intended and super embarrassing things in the name of peer-pressure, connection and fitting in. You’ll be an observer in this today, resisting participation, as you should in this case.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22). The energy that goes into making an impression will be well spent. It’s not because you’ll make the intended impression; rather, it’s that you’ll learn something about yourself, what matters to you and how much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Diversity makes groups strong. This is true for your friend group as well. A mix of people with different strengths will add to your life, whereas a group that is too much of one thing won’t have the spark.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re an original. Saying the lines that others have said, sticking to the script, using the cliches, well, that gets old fast. It’s invigorating to express your uniqueness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best is good enough. Your pie wins the contest, and your special sauce garners worldwide intrigue. This is the stuff of fantasies and diary entries, so make sure you put the events and potential events of the day into both.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The sparkling parts of life are the in-between moments when you have nothing to gain, nothing to lose and nothing to tally in general. What’s most valuable is unquantifiable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The correct next move is often not to the right or left or even straight ahead. The best move might be no move at all. To stand there until the world shifts is a real test of patience that will pay off.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The self-help gurus insist it: In every moment, we have a choice. But many moments go the way of programming. If there are choices, we are unaware. There’s no shame in this; it’s human.

Waking up is step one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Arthritis sufferers know that, though it sounds counterintuitive, moving the parts that don’t want to move will keep you pain-free. Use this as a metaphor for another part of your life.
