Pop star Michael Jackson may move his menagerie from Encino to the Santa Ynez Valley, a picturesque region of ranches and wineries, a real estate executive said. Some of Jackson's neighbors in Encino have been miffed by his animal collection, which has included swans, snakes, a giraffe and Bubbles, his chimpanzee.

Construction has begun on a $45-million community retail and entertainment project near UC Santa Barbara that will include a park and other recreational facilities. The 83-acre Camino Real project south of Highway 101 in the unincorporated Santa Barbara County community of Goleta will rank as one of the largest retail developments in the area, according to Mark Linehan, owner of Wynmark, the Santa Barbara-based real estate firm developing the project.
