TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO Stanford Univer- sity researchers studying the way people in Central California speak are interviewing longtime Sacra- mento residents to determine any distinctive twangs, words and grammar they may have, a news- paper reported. More than a dozen research- ers participating in the univer- sity's Voices of California project will be talking to native-born Sac- ramento residents through Sept. 13, the Sacramento Bee reported (http://bit.ly/1rV85qr). The goal of the project is to understand how the community views itself, its re- gion and the rest of the state and how that's reflected in the way it speaks.

The Faire, free to the pub- lic, will open its doors at 10 a.m. The air conditioned building at 1500 S. Jackson St. will be trans- formed into a mall with about 40 vendors offering their creations. They range from tiny doll clothes to welded outdoor art work. A sampler table near the entry will display the range of interests, along with booth identification. The auditorium and the West- side room will be partitioned into vendor booths. The Gardenside room will become a lunch area for the snack bar.

Ambassador Ballet Company will present "The Strong Tower," a true story of a 9/11 survivor, at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the State Theatre in Red Bluff. Admission is $7, children younger than 7 get in free, and a portion of the night's proceeds will ben- efit the Red Bluff Volunteer Fire Department. The ballet portrays the story of the last survivor pulled from the rubble at ground zero, and how the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center 13 years ago changed her life, according to the company, and it was choreo- graphed by members who were raised in Red Bluff. It's the second year Ambassa- dor Ballet Company is presenting its show at the State Theatre. "It was a wonderful show," in- terim Red Bluff Fire Chief Mat- thew Shobash said.

COURTESY PHOTO By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter REDBLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors set a Sept. 23 public hearing to discuss potentially renaming the Red Bank Creek Bridge on Rawson Road in honor of their late peer George Russell. Under the proposal the bridge, just south of Red Bluff, would be named the George Russell Memorial Bridge. Former Tehama County Supervisor Bill Borror proposed the name change to the board in a letter dated Aug. 11. "Supervisor Russell was instrumental in a multitude of issues and projects occurring within the county throughout the time he served on the board. He was a champion for outreach and inclu- siveness in the project deliberation process," Borror wrote. Borror said one of those projects included the Red Bank Creek Bridge, which he describes as particularly challenging as it included the realignment of the roadway through agricultural property to improve public safety. "Renaming the Red Bank Creek Bridge at Rawson Road as the George Russell Memorial Bridge seems like a fitting tribute to his memory," Borror wrote. "This memorial would serve as an ongoing reminder of George's years of dedication and service to the County of Tehama and its citizens." The 375-foot bridge opened in 2008. The original Rawson Road bridge was built in 1894 by the Pa- cific Bridge Company of San Francisco. It collapsed in November 2000 after a vehicle struck the struc- ture. A temporary one-lane bridge was installed in its place. In 2001 the board, including Rus- sell, decided the new bridge would also include a realignment of Raw- son Road. Around 4,200 feet of new roadway was constructed to provide a more direct route across the creek. The project cost nearly $4 million at the time. County staff projects new signage, if the bridge is renamed, would cost less than $300 and would be paid from the road maintenance budget. Russell served on the Board of Su- pervisors from February 1996 un- til his death in September 2012. His death came just a few months after being elected to another four- year term on the board.
