Eventually he hopes to be pushing his own albums, such as the one he's in the process of recording with former Foreigner bass player Bruce Turgon in Redding. Bushnell said the album will be original materi- al with songs ranging from the rodeo lifestyle he grew up in to just general songs about life.

The fire, which sent plumes of black smoke over the San Francisco Bay area, erupted Monday evening in the massive Chevron refinery about 10 miles northeast of San Francisco. It was out early Tuesday. The West Coast is particularly vulnerable to spikes in gasoline prices because it's not well-connected to the refineries along the Gulf Coast, where most of the coun- try's refining capacity is located, analysts say. The Chevron refinery is particularly big and impor- tant to the West Coast market, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. It produces about 150,000 barrels of gasoline a day — 16 percent of the region's daily gasoline consumption of 963,000 barrels, he said. California's average price Tuesday for a gallon of reg- ular gasoline was $3.86. But with inventories in the region already low compared with the rest of the country, pump prices along the West Coast will soon average more than $4 a gallon, Kloza said. Chevron spokesman Lloyd Avram said he did not fire will boost gas prices RICHMOND (AP) — A major fire at one of the Experts: Calif refinery have an update on when the refinery could be restarted and declined to comment on what kind of impact the shutdown might have on the gasoline market. ''Spot prices have already increased by as much as 30 cents per gallon in some West Coast markets and that's before the refinery damage has been fully assessed,'' said analyst Patrick DeHaan of the website GasBuddy.com. The fire began around 6:15 p.m. Monday in the refin- ery's No. 4 Crude Unit, about two hours after a vapor leak of hydrocarbons similar to diesel, said Heather Kulp, a Chevron spokeswoman. ''At approximately 6:30 p.m., the volume increased and personnel evacuated the area,'' she said at a news conference. ''The hydrocarbon vapor then ignited and a fire occurred.'' Kulp said there were no explosions, and staff at the away from the refinery that has long been the target of complaints and lawsuits by people who live near it in Richmond, a mostly low-income community with five major oil refineries. able.

He turned that skill into writing and arranging compul- sively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming — from the mournful ''The Way We Were'' to the jaunty theme from ''The Sting.'' Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch, who died at 68 after a short illness, composed music for film heroes from James Bond and Woody Allen, for powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and high-kicking dancers of the Tony-winning ''A Chorus Line.'' To borrow one of his song titles, nobody did it bet- ter. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. Follow her on Twitter @DN_Zeeb.

I will miss his talent, our laughter and friendship, but mostly I will miss Marvin.'' THE PASSING PARADE ''He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. I will truly miss him,'' said Barbra Streisand, who first met the composer in 1963 and sang his ''The Way We Were'' to a Grammy win in 1974. ''It was his brilliantly quick mind, his generosity, and delicious sense of humor that made him a delight to be around.'' Hamlisch collapsed and died Monday in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his publicist Ken Sunshine said, citing the family. Other details were not released. The New York-born Hamlisch composed more than 40 film scores, including ''Sophie's Choice,'' ''Ordinary Peo- ple,'' ''The Way We Were'' and ''Take the Money and Run.''

My father had four brothers; two died in their teens, a week apart, and his youngest brother Everett, nicknamed "Rip", was drafted in WWII. Here is an excerpt from my father's diary entry of 17 October 1944: "Everett was wounded in Germany September 20th and we have been unable to learn anything more from him. The telegraph office phoned me last Saturday morning when I was still in bed and told me the bad news. The telegram only said he was seriously wounded and gave his new address." first two as well as ''Judy Garland & Liza Minnelli 'Live' at the London Palladium.''

Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 At this point, in his diary, as though to distract himself from the news his entry read, "Bobby (me) is playing football and weighs 175 pounds." On the 24th of October his entry reads, "We received a telegram from the War Department Saturday informing us that Everett had died from his wounds the same day he was wounded in Germany. He was such a fine young man with such a good future ahead of him, it just doesn't seem right. If he had been sacrificed for some good to the world, it would be a little easier to bear. But to think that he gave his life for Russia to dominate Europe instead of Germany seems wrong to me. I am very bitter towards President Roosevelt who deliberately and underhandedly dragged us into this war to help his friend England and to relieve the situation here in the states of 10 million unemployed in 1940 after 8 years of the New Deal". There is no further mention of Everett in father's diary, but I can't help wondering what would have happened if he had survived the war, returned to Red Bluff and gone back to work at the meat plant. He was a quiet and unassuming, but I think, with his hard work ethic, he would have risen to management level and quite possibly taken over upon the death of my father in 1964. I was assumed to be the logical successor to run the plant, but my earlier reluctance to work therein, and to pursue other endeavors, may have convinced father to let Everett have a go at it. If so, the outcome of the plant would have been far different. No outsider partners would have been welcome, and the direction of the plant, in the hands of relatives might have proven more manageable. However, with the increasing demise of many California meat plants in the 70's and 80's, the closing of our plant might have been inevitable. At the very least it would have been a planned curtailment of activity that would not have left so many cattlemen holding un-cashable checks...and the eventual closing might have offered employees more time to seek other work. But then, it is all conjecture, for Everett died in what father thought was an unjust war and his promising future ended all too soon.
