Today, we’ll call it quits on reporting online at SantaBarbaraNewsroom.com. We’ve enjoyed writing for the Web, a new experience for all of us print reporters who were illegally fired from the Santa Barbara News-Press. It’s been great running our own show, free of interference from an abusive publisher. We hope we have been of service to you since we launched the site on April 2. We simply don’t have the funds to continue online indefinitely. But we are not going away! It’s time to step up our campaign for reinstatement to the News-Press and a Teamster contract in the newsroom. Beginning Aug. 14, we will be on the witness stand as the News-Press goes on trial in Santa Barbara on charges of 15 violations of federal labor law, including our firings. This site will remain as an archive.
SBN TV SPECIAL: "NEWS-PRESS MESS, ONE YEAR LATER" Santa Barbara Newsroom is taped every other week at the Santa Barbara Channels, and is scheduled to air at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. Saturday and 8 p.m. Sunday on public access cable station 17.

The hype over the release of the new iPhone swept the nation Friday afternoon – and Santa Barbara was no exception.
Of the roughly 150 people lined outside the door and around two corners at the Cingular Wireless store in the La Cumbre Plaza, at least a dozen had camped overnight for their coveted prize, for which they paid $600. |

An electrical fire burned through the roof of 410 Ruth Ave. late Friday, about a block from Highway 101 near Ortega and Castillo streets. Sparks shot from a power line suspended at the corner of the one-story home. The line fell toward the ground as firefighters pushed back a growing number of onlookers.
The flames consumed the top of the structure shortly after 9 p.m., after firefighters sawed a hole in its roof. By then, a half-dozen occupants and family members had safely evacuated the residence. The cause was under investigation, officials said, describing a fire that spread into and across the attic.
Earlier Friday, fire agencies declared a “Red Flag Alert” until 8 a.m. Sunday at the earliest for the southern half of Santa Barbara County. Affected areas are from Buellton and Santa Ynez south to the county line in Carpinteria. County firefighters noted a change toward a warmer period coupled with low relative humidities and Sundowner winds in the forecast for the South Coast.
