BURNED, CHURNED, AND UNLEARNED: I want to thank our friendly neighborhood oil giant, Venoco, for buying nine trombones and giving them to the Santa Barbara elementary school music program.

The Santa Barbara City Council wrestled with the competing parking needs of apartment dwellers and condo owners living across from each other on Modoc Road on 10/16.

It could become the greenest, cleanest, and strictest Californian city.
