Semester at Sea Launches new alumni network
KEYT News Channel 3-12
October 25, 2026
If you've ever spotted a Semester at Sea ship docked in Santa Barbara, you know the program has a special pull around here — and it turns out the Central Coast is home to more than 1,000 alumni. That's a lot of neighbors with saltwater stories and ports-of-call memories.
This week those alumni got some good news: a new online network just launched for the floating study abroad program that's been sailing since the 1960s. Folks gathered for a reunion in Santa Barbara on Sunday and got a look at video from the newly chartered ship, according to KEYT News Channel 3-12.
For a region so tied to the sea, it's a nice reminder that our community's reach extends well beyond the 805 — and that the next generation of voyagers has a local network waiting when they come home.

Santa BarbaraGreat Pacific Pumpkins extends hours
If you've been meaning to get out to Great Pacific Pumpkins in Ventura, you've got a little more time. The patch is extending its hours for the final stretch of October, and after a weekend of full hayrides, it's clearly the place to be. KEYT News Channel 3-12 reports that this year's corn maze survived the recent rain, so the whole family can still get lost in it. There are photo ops scattered throughout the patch, which means plenty of chances to grab that perfect fall shot before the season slips away. For those of us in the 805, a trip out to the pumpkin patch is a tradition worth protecting, whether you're hauling home a future jack-o'-lantern or just soaking in the crisp autumn air. Halloween is nearly here, so round up the kids, check the extended hours, and make the drive. Support a local spot, enjoy the hayrides, and get your pumpkin before they're gone.
Santa BarbaraRonald Dominic Fendon of Santa Barbara, 1926-2026
Santa Barbara lost a true Renaissance man this week. Ron Fendon, who passed away at 100, was the kind of neighbor who quietly shaped our community in ways most of us never noticed — from his decades on the Airport Commission to his volunteer helicopter flights for Search and Rescue. He also led the Montecito Creek Water Company, keeping a vital local resource running smoothly. But beyond the titles, Ron was a devoted husband and stepfather, and a pilot who loved the skies over our coastline. His story is a reminder that the Central Coast is built by people who give their time and talents without fanfare. Noozhawk shared the news, and it's worth taking a moment to appreciate a life so fully lived in service to others. Our thoughts go out to his family and all who knew him. Santa Barbara is a little dimmer without Ron in it.
Santa BarbaraFirefighters Battle Garage Fire in Santa Barbara’s San Roque Neighborhood
A garage fire in San Roque is a good reminder to check our smoke detectors and review our family's emergency plan. Sunday afternoon's blaze on Calle Fresno was knocked down by Santa Barbara City Fire Department crews, but not before causing significant damage. San Roque is a tight-knit neighborhood, and when something like this happens, neighbors look out for each other. Noozhawk reports the call came in around 2:30 p.m. for a residential structure fire. We're grateful for the quick response from our firefighters, who keep our community safe. If you're in the area, check on your neighbors, and take a moment to make sure your own home is fire-safe. Let's keep San Roque strong and prepared. Thanks to Noozhawk for keeping us informed.
