Richland School District to start rehabilitation at aquatic center
Five years ago on December 3 1969 the Richland School District board indicated an early start on a rehabilitation project at the school’s aquatic center and discussed Head Start program operation. The Santa Fe Railway proposed restructuring transcontinental passenger service possibly leaving Shafter without train service by January 5 1970. Shafter High’s 1969-70 basketball team debuts December 5 at Delano High School with coach Pat Wennihan cautiously optimistic about the season.

A 2.5 million pre-con solidation project to settle the ground along a 23 mile section of the California Aqueduct from Tupman to Lerdo Highway moved into high gear this week. Completion is expected in about 15 months. In Shafter, Union Congregational Church voted 115 to 71 to withdraw from the United Church of Christ, with 186 of 300 voting members participating. Rick Swan’s first football season with the Miami Hurricanes affirmed his value for 1965, after a shaky start as a Bakersfield College transfer.
