Uh... Thanks, I guess.

I believe this site has been linked for the first time.  Actually it's a "probationary link" from a blog about the Shafter High boys basketball team.  The author, writing under the name of Shafter's namesake, the General William Rufus Shafter, says that Shafter News is "mostly dedicated to commentary on Shafter-related Bakersfield Californian articles.  Given the dearth of Shafter news online, I'll take it."   

This must have been written before I got into writing essays on education statistics, development, and sales taxes, which are far too boring to be the subject of a Californian article.   Anyway, it's good to know that someone is reading.

I think it's great that somebody is blogging about the goings-on in Shafter. As a lifelong resident, I know that the people here take pride in their city. A quality source for analysis and productive discussion is sorely needed. I found the link on the Shafter basketball site.

Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for reading. I think we are right to take pride in Shafter. It is a good place full of generous people.

And I agree with you about the need. I don't know why the Shafter Press has not put some of their content on the web.
