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

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:48:56 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...

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...
