Live bands included Swamp Daddy, All Fired Up and the Blues Box Bayou Band. "The casino did an ex- cellent job preparing for (the event)," Gowan said.

Crawdad FROM PAGE 1 ANDRE BYIK — DAILY NEWS Stephen Diaz, le , and Randall Mair, right, both with Rolling Hills Casino, said more than 2,000pounds of crawdads were on hand for the Crawdad Festival held Saturday at the casino. ANDRE BYIK — DAILY NEWS Hundreds streamed in and out of the Crawdad Festival at Rolling Hills Casino. quency from interfering in the ever day learning as well as teaching that takes place on elementary, mid- dle school and high school campuses. The reason the last school resource officer is no longer with the school is because the position is not permanent. Generally speaking, the position lasts for around three years. By not having the same officer on campus for the entirety of the officer's ca- reer, it gives a sense of va- riety to both the officer as well as the campus. Being a resource officer is a training step towards becoming a detective. The testing process that Thomas went through in order to become the school resource officer began with a letter of interest. Follow- ing this, was a written exam as well as an in per- son interview. This story was originally published in the Sept. 5 edition of Red Bluff Union High School's newspaper, The Bluffer. Officer FROM PAGE 1 Bauer added: "It makes all the difference in the world. Not only in what it looks like, but in the weather tightness of the building. And of course it isn't finished." Officials aim to have the work, which will in- clude improvements to the museum's roof, done before the rainy season begins. Among the attractions at Saturday's event was a display of artwork created by Los Molinos native Anna Chrasta, a profes- sional artist whose work includes scenes from San Francisco and more. While museum offi- cials continue to develop educational programs, such as PowerPoint his- tories on demand, Bauer encourages those inter- ested in the history of Te- hama County and looking to lend a helping hand to contact the museum. Museum FROM PAGE 1 Museum officials say building improvements, such as new windows and repointed brick walls, will help the 155-year-old building withstand inclement weather. ANDRE BYIK — DAILY NEWS the office needs a leader who actively promotes civic engagement and he ques- tioned whether she can do that this year. "In the era where we've seen really low voter turn- out, the secretary should really be out there promot- ing voting," he said. "I very much hope the secretary gets the help she needs, and I also hope the office gets the help it needs." Bowen, a Democrat who also served 14 years in the state Legislature, said she wants to reduce the stigma around depression and show it is a health condi- tion that can be managed within a successful career. She said much of the work of administering elections is handled by her staff and by county officials. "It's always fair to ask whether a person is doing their job," Bowen said in an interview Monday. "It's also fair for me to say that everything is being done: I'm not going to let depres- sion win here." Bowen's depression was first reported by the Los Angeles Times on Friday. Sen. Alex Padilla, the Democratic candidate for secretary of state, said in a statement her story could encourage others to seek help for depression. Civics groups often have criticized the secretary of state's office for a slow roll- out of online voter regis- tration and its difficult-to- navigate campaign finance portal, Cal-Access. "This is the first time we've really understood the difficulties she's going through," said Kim Alex- ander, president of the California Voter Founda- tion. "Elections have been run competently for many years in California, so I don't see it being an issue." Kathay Feng, executive director of the nonpar- tisan good government group California Common Cause, said the job of sec- retary of state is not part time. She said the secre- tary of state's office should assess its operations in light of Bowen's frequent absences. Others said they are not concerned. "The secretary of state doesn't have to make life- or-death decisions at a split second," said Jack Pit- ney, a professor of political science at Claremont McK- enna College, who noted other public officials in- cluding Abraham Lincoln had depression. Bowen says depres- sion should be viewed like other medical conditions such as diabetes, and she questions whether criti- cism stems from stigma around mental illness. "People who want to make an issue of this re- ally need to think about the message they are send- ing to the people who are dealing with this for the first time," she said.

Depression FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press LOS ANGELES While the economy may be recovering from the Great Recession, ridership on Southern Cal- ifornia's once-booming re- gional rail service has not. The Metrolink train net- work, which serves six counties and their com- bined population of 20 mil- lion with 512 miles of track, sold nearly 600,000 tickets fewer in its 2014 fiscal year than the peak of 12.3 mil- lion riders purchased in its 2009 fiscal year. Metrolink board mem- bers and analysts blame the initial loss of ridership on the recession — and the slow recovery on the lack of an employment boom in downtown Los Angeles, the system's chief destination. "It's been hard to recover from something so impact- ful" as the recession, Robert Turnauckas, chief of mar- keting and communications at Metrolink, told the Los Angeles Times in a story (http://lat.ms/1lNpXRl) published Monday. Metrolink's struggles do not track with national pub- lic transit trends. In March, the American Public Trans- portation Association re- ported that the number of rides taken on public buses, trains and subways has fully recovered from a decrease during the recession. "Rail transit best serves areas with dominant down- towns," said Peter Gordon, professor emeritus of urban and regional economics at the University of Southern California. In other words, places such as New York and Bos- ton — not Los Angeles, where a downtown cultural and housing renaissance has not translated into more jobs that might bring Metro- link more commuters. Ridership on the com- muter trains of the Bay Area Rapid Transit network has more than fully recov- ered from a recession-re- lated dip, according to rid- ership numbers. It stood at 116 million riders in 2013, BART said. At Metrolink, ridership numbers for 2014 were ap- proaching their 2009 re- cord, but have since fallen back. That decrease, cou- pled with increasing costs, prompted Metrolink to trim service. Between those cuts and what some riders com- plain are inconsistent con- nections to buses and other transit, the system is strug- gling to regain riders. In response, Metrolink has been fighting the drop by courting employers, us- ing social media and plan- ning to equip cars with WiFi. It also has publicized safety improvements made since a 2008 collision that killed 25 people.
