Surfer injured at Black’s Beach Surfer Josh Buran, 26, was found facedown in the water, hanging off his board at Black’s Beach on Tuesday, Jan. 12 around noon. Fellow surfers performed CPR on him and then battled the waves to bring him to shore to call 9-1-1. Lifeguards from La Jolla Shores arrived within five minutes, according to Maurice Luque, spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. As of Jan. 1., lifeguards no longer patrol Black’s Beach during the winter months due to budget cuts. Buran had been hit in the chin while surfing. Fellow surfers said he acted strangely afterward and urged him to return to the shore but Buran refused, according to Luque. Buran is the nephew of local pro surfer Joey Buran, who won major surfing tournaments in the 1970s and 1980s and was dubbed the “California Kid.” Buran was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital to be treated for head injuries and hypothermia.  Trolley plans on track; open house scheduled Plans continue to bring the Mid-Coast Trolley to University City.

Later in the day, diversity can be celebrated at the Centre City Development Corporation’s family-friendly 12th annual San Diego Multicultural Festival. The free event will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade on Harbor Drive between Market Street and Fourth Avenue. “It started as a celebration of the diversity of San Diego,” said event producer Jacki Taylor Dwyer. “It’s all about the cultural bridging that takes place when we bring a lot of people of different ethnicities together in a festival format.” The festival features numerous booths, most of which have a cultural aspect. The booths range from information and nonprofit organizations to food and other vendors. Education is a central theme of the festival, and at the educational fair area, parents and students can speak with representatives from local schools. For the third straight year, the festival will have a global village exhibit, featuring students from San Diego High’s School of Communication.
