Earlier this month, the Louise Lowery Davis Center at 111 W. Victoria St. in Santa Barbara reopened with some major upgrades. “[There’s] additional lighting, we’ve raised all the ceilings up, so that feels a lot more open and airy,” said Rich Hanna, Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Manager. Hanna says the project took around five years to complete with crews making improvements to the interior and exterior of the building in addition to a new outdoor patio. The Parks and Recreation Department is currently seeking partners to expand the offering of free programs and services available at the community center. “Youve got your event space, to your activity room, out to the courtyard and we can do events for up to 114 people,” Hanna said. “Most of our senior activities right now, we probably have anywhere from eight to 10 participants in each of those activities that we currently offer.” The century-old building was built in 1923 as part of Santa Barbaras first public high school and has served as a community recreation center since 1933. “It’s nice to bring it on and actually have

After the government pushed for the breakup of Google, accusing it of business practices that violate antitrust laws, the Mountain View, Calif., tech giant proposed its own solutions on Friday — to restructure its business contracts instead. “Regulating a fast-changing industry like search with an invasive decree like the one proposed by Plaintiffs would harm competition, innovation, and consumers,” Google said in a court filingFriday. The request comes after a federal judge in August found that the tech company had illegally maintained a monopoly in search. Google said it disagreed with the decision and plans to appeal. Amit P. Mehta, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is now trying to decide on ways to restore competition. Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice and several states proposed solutions to fix what it described as Google’s illegal search monopoly that included forcing the company to sell Chrome.

In a court filing, Google proposed
