Good morning, Santa Barbara.

Dallas is a 6-month-old white-and-tan Australian Shepherd mix now available for adoption at the Lompoc Animal Center in Lompoc.

Staff say he is smart, fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and his fee covers essential care (neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, flea treatment and a wellness exam).

The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara Downtown Club is asking for local donations to upgrade its aging computer lab used by more than 200 youth for homework and digital learning.

The campaign follows a successful fundraiser held May 30.

The grants will support music therapy, youth arts, dance workshops and free community festivals across the county.

California officials offer free Historian Passports that allow up to four visitors unlimited entry to state historic parks now through July 6.

The pass lets residents visit parks (La Purísima Mission and El Presidio) until the end of 2026 via ReserveCalifornia.

A new study finds that warming temperatures may increase dengue fever risk by making parts of California more suitable for the mosquito that carries it.

Experts advise local residents to remove standing water and use insect repellent to help protect themselves.

Decades ago, Santa Barbara hosted a thriving minor league baseball scene when the Brooklyn Dodgers’ farm club played at Laguna Park, built with New Deal funds.
