With the words ���dream��� and ���inspire��� stenciled above, the wall will serve to combine two of Russell's most endearing passions ��� children and education. ���I can't imagine anything more appropriate,��� said Russell's widow, Sharon Russell. ���He loved to read, I hardly ever saw him without a book in his hand.��� Sharon joked the only way the tribute could have been more appropriate would be if it incorporated golf.

According to the latest report from AAA Northern California, regular unleaded gasoline prices are down 26 cents in the last month in the North State. Northern Californians are paying an average of $3.56, as every metro area in the area saw a decrease of at least 9 cents from a month ago. In Red Bluff regular gas ranged from $3.28 to $3.59 per gallon Tuesday according to GasBuddy.com. ���Prices at the pump have steadily declined across the country as demand continues to be low and supplies remain robust,��� AAA spokeswoman Cynthia Harris said. ���The exception is the East Coast where supplies are increasing but remain somewhat tight following the disruption in distribution from Hurricane Sandy.��� AAA���s report said while demand will increase slightly for the remainder of the holiday season, overall demand is expected to remain low into 2013, which will keep downward pressure on gasoline prices. Lower crude oil prices have also contributed to the cheaper gas prices paid by consumers. ��� Rich Greene News tip?

Inspired by one of their own, Red Bluff Union High School will be adding a new ���life saving��� event in conjunction with the upcoming Holiday Classic basketball tournament. From noon to 6 p.m. Thursday the school will host a drive to register bone marrow transplant donors on behalf of teacher Betsy Palubeski, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. As part of the Be The Match Foundation, Palubeski���s team is hoping to raise $500 to help pay for the tissue typing of all new registry members signing up for the national bone marrow registry. It costs about $100 to pay for an individual donor to be tested and added to the registry. Palubeski���s team has already raised $445 of its goal The team is also hoping to add as many new donors as members can find. Each year only about half of the nearly 10,000 patients seeking marrow transplants find a match.

Doctors look for donors who have matching human leukocyte antigens (HLA) markers. Those markers are found throughout most cells in a body that an immune system uses to recognize which cells belong and which don���t. Those wishing to become donors need to be between the ages of 18 and 44, in good health and be willing to donate to any patient in need. Joining the registry doesn���t guarantee a person will donate. If a match is made, additional information about the cost-free and relatively painless life saving procedure will be provided by the Be The Match Foundation. Cash donations are being accepted at Thursday���s drive, online or by mail. Team Betsy can be found at bethematchfoundation.org/goto/hope4betsy.
