Eight candidates seek five board seats in the June ballot for the Shafter Recreation District. Fred Starrh urges local funding to expand programs for all ages, citing costs of jail and law enforcement and stressing community impact beyond Buttonwillow origins. Mickey Gladden, Dave Mizener and others emphasize youth baseball, senior services, arts and crafts, transportation, and partnerships to create a full-time, locally funded program. The campaign highlights support for local schools, crime reduction through recreation, and plans for a district-wide approach after Prop 13-related funding changes.
