City will take over, plan Antioch’s Fourth of July celebration

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:31:16 GMT

The show must go on. That’s the word from Antioch City Council, which agreed to fund the city’s big July Fourth celebration after the nonprofit that previously hosted it bowed out.City staff had asked the council to allocate $110,000 so it could plan and pay for the event, but late last month, the council, with Monica Wilson and Tamisha Torres-Walker absent, could only agree to continue the matter. This week, however, the patriotic celebration had enough votes to move forward, with Councilmember Lori Ogorchock voting against and Mike Barbanica absent.For decades the city had sponsored and hosted the event until the recession hit in 2010, after which a group of residents formed the Celebrate Antioch Foundation and took over planning and raising money for much of the then $65,000 to $70,000 cost of the event, with some financial support from the city through grants.On Tuesday, Brad Helfenberger, parks and recreation director, told council members that staff has been working hard on pl...

New Ballet embraces the ‘new’ at Fast Forward in San Jose

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:31:16 GMT

For more than 30 years, from 1985 to 2016, San Jose was home to a top-notch nationally acclaimed ballet company. First known as the San Jose Cleveland Ballet, the new troupe was born when the 10-year-old Cleveland Ballet forged a new configuration with San Jose, giving its dancers more opportunities to perform.In 2000, the Cleveland Ballet closed and founding artistic director/choreographer Dennis Nahat moved to the West Coast with more than half the dancers to carry on as Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley. (“Silicon Valley” was dropped in 2006.)After Nahat was ousted in 2012, rocky times followed and the company met its demise in March 2016 after returning from a tour to Spain.Fortunately, a Phoenix rose from the ashes in the form of a very determined Dalia Rawson. She kept the San Jose Ballet School open, renamed it the New Ballet School, and started a chamber company of 14 dancers, New Ballet, where she is the director and resident choreographer. In December 2016 she presented her o...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:31:16 GMT

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks just lost to the NHL’s last-place team in front of their second-smallest announced crowd of the season.Are we sure Connor Bedard can cure all that ails this organization?Seems like a tall order for a 17-year-old.The Sharks are now just two points out of 32nd and last place in the NHL after a wild 6-5 overtime loss to that last-place team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, on Tuesday. The Sharks announced that 10,127 tickets had been distributed for the game, the fourth-smallest total over the last two years.The team that finishes 32nd and last overall will have a 25.5 percent chance of winning the NHL’s draft lottery and thereby earning the right to select Bedard, the projected superstar-in-waiting, this summer.Bedard, with 125 points in 51 WHL games this season, is the consensus No. 1 player available in this year’s NHL Draft. He turns 18 in July, and would no doubt give a shot in the arm, on the ice and off, to any team he joins.But to go from an entertaini...
