California is recognized for its wellcoordinated , public safety mutual aid system and Newport Beach answered the call for assistance again this week to help in areas battling wildfires .
Thursday morning , a Newport Beach Fire Department ( NBFD ) engine company from the City ’ s Corona del Mar fire station was deployed as part of an Orange County strike team sent to help fight the rapidly developing Park Fire in Butte County ( Chico ). The deployed NBFD engine company consists of a fire captain , engineer , firefighter and a paramedic .

With the fires burning throughout the state , this is a great reminder to be wildfire prepared . Please visit the Newport

Choreographers PAGE 5
Cherice Barton , whose background consists of a diverse array of projects , wanted to reference her varied career while returning to her roots as a ballet dancer . The dance she created , “ Swipe ,” was a theatrical , almost satirical commentary on modernday romance , with a clear vision and a sense of humor .
Charles Askegard , rehearsal director at the Philadelphia Ballet and the final choreographer of the evening , was inspired by the music he chose to choreograph to . Violin Sonata No . 1 showcased three duets and a trio in the first three movements before all eight dancers reunited for the final moments of the production . The dramatic red costumes highlighted Askegard ’ s choreography beautifully .
Following Askegard ’ s piece and a rousing round of applause for everyone involved , Lynch and the choreographers remained onstage for a Q & A panel , where they answered questions about the show , further explaining the openendedness of the initiative and what their future plans are for the pieces they created .
