President Trump wants to open the Pacific Coast to more offshore oil drilling and he's lowering fuel standards for automakers. Former State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson offers the Democrat viewpoint and former Santa Barbara City Councilman Dale Francisco gives us the conservative opinion. Watch their discussion and tell us what you think.

“Five Shorts with Shortcake” was a smashing success! The audiences reveled (really got into it), laughing nonstop at the popular and well-acted comedies. They marveled at the poignancy of the dramatic moments, putting their tissues to good use. Shaking it up this year by adding matinees proved to be a well-received option.

Community Circle Players (CCP) is putting the spotlight on a newbie and a relatively new newbie who are starring in their fall production at the MountainView Ballroom, featuring even another newbie: MATINEES at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22. Evening performances begin at 7 p.m., Wednesday, November 19 through Saturday, November 22.
