An Orland man who reportedly was not wearing his seatbelts sustained major injuries when his vehicle hit a power pole on Thursday.
According to the Willows Area Office of the California Highway Patrol, at about 7:10 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20, Miguel Ibanes, 43, of Orland, was driving a 2001 Nissan Sentra north on County Road M, north of County Road 33.
For unknown reasons, he allowed the Sentra to drift off the right shoulder to the east and strike a metal power pole with the Sentra’s front end.
According to CHP Officer Taylor, Ibanes sustained major injuries and was transported by ambulance for treatment.
Alcohol is not suspected to have been a factor in this accident and no one was arrested.

A Corning man sustained major injuries when the motorcycle he was riding crashed head-on into an oncoming vehicle.
According to a news release issued by the Willows Area Office of the California Highway Patrol, at about 4:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19, Marista Vargas Puga, 45, of Willows, was driving a 2011 Nissan north on Highway 99, north of County Road 30.
She was traveling directly behind a slower vehicle when she moved into the southbound lane in an attempt to pass the vehicle.
At the same time, Stephen Green, 52, of Corning, was driving a 1998 Honda motorcycle south on Highway 99, north of Road 30.
Puga saw oncoming headlights but believed she had enough time to safely pass the slower vehicle.
Green saw the headlights of a vehicle directly in front of him within his lane. He attempted to turn to the right but was struck by the oncoming vehicle.
Puga realized the oncoming vehicle was closer than she believed but was unable to move to the right as she was directly next to vehicle she was attempting to pass.
She then felt the impact.
Green was transported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico as he sustained major injuries. Puga was not injured.
According to CHP Officer Gilliam, Puga was wearing her seatbelts and Green was wearing his helmet.
Neither alcohol nor drugs appear to be factors in this crash, and neither driver was arrested.

A couple of fender benders kept the Orland Police Department busy on Wednesday.
The first incident occurred at about 11:30 a.m. in front of 421 Third Street, which is roughly halfway between Tehama and Shasta Streets.
According to the OPD log, “Officers located a red 2015 Ford Mustang on the east sidewalk of Third Street and contacted the 17-year-old driver.”
No other details were mentioned, such as the driver’s name (even though the driver was a minor, if he was not engaged in criminal activity, then his name was releasable) and, most importantly, how the accident happened.
The Mustang did significant damage to the curb in front of the house.

The second accident occurred just before 4 p.m. at the intersection of Sixth and Tehama Streets.
Again, no further information was given other than “Officers assisted both parties exchange information and documented the incident.”
The Observer noted at the scene that one of the two vehicles involved was a white Ford Ranger pickup and the other was a black Nissan Altima.
The Ford was located facing north on the southbound side of Sixth Street, while the Nissan had come to a stop facing a southwesterly direction on eastbound Tehama Street, at the southwest corner of the intersection – the same corner where the Liberty Food and Gas station is located.

The Ford had significant damage to the driver’s side of the pickup, while the Nissan had significant damage to its front.
Fortunately, no one was injured in either of these accidents.
For the second time in less than a year, transient Heather Matney has been sentenced for starting a fire in the bed of Stony Creek north of Orland.
The first time was in January of this year. On Jan. 7, 2022, she was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 52 weeks of batterers treatment classes, and three years’ probation.
About a month earlier, on Dec. 9, 2021, she pled guilty to starting the Oct. 9, 2021, fire in the bed of Stony Creek. Six fire departments responded to the blaze that began in the early evening and continued throughout the night and into the morning.
In the morning of Jan. 7, she was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 52 weeks of batterers treatment classes, and three years’ probation. At 11:53 p.m. that very same day, Jan. 7, deputies responded to 236 North Humboldt Avenue regarding suspicious activity.
An anonymous caller reported a white male adult who appeared to be transient was taking things from a delivery truck that was parked at KFC. Deputies arrived and contacted Douglas Abbott and Heather Matney.
A records check on the two revealed Matney was a restrained person in a served restraining order and the protected party was Douglas Abbott. Matney was placed under arrest for violation of a court order and transported to the Glenn County jail.
Five minutes after midnight on Jan. 8, Heather Nicole Matney, then-27, was booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging violation of a court order to prevent domestic violence (a misdemeanor). Her bail was set at $5,000.
Three days later, Matney was charged with alleged felony violation of probation by a Glenn County probation officer. Bail for this charge was set at $85,000.
As reported in The Glenn County Observer on Oct. 11, 2021:
“As firefighters from six departments battled the blaze in the Stony Creek bed a short distance north of Orland Saturday evening and beyond, an Orland transient was arrested for allegedly intentionally setting the fire.
“At about 6 p.m. on Oct. 9, deputies responded to the Stony Creek area east of Highway 99, in Orland, and contacted Douglas Abbott. Deputies initiated an investigation and discovered Abbott and his girlfriend, Heather Matney, had a camp in the creek bed.
“Abbott and Matney reportedly got into an argument. Abbott left the camp and noticed a fire had begun shortly after he left.
“Another witness in the area alleged they saw Matney start the fire and then flee the area on foot. Deputies searched the area extensively and eventually found Matney at the Shady Oaks Trailer Park, space #19.
“She was ultimately placed under arrest [on Saturday, Oct. 9] and booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging giving false identification to a peace officer (a misdemeanor), and arson of an inhabited structure or property (a felony). Her bail was set at $200,000.”
As stated above, in January of this year, she was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 52 weeks of batterers treatment classes, and three years’ probation. She evidently never completed her original sentence.
Then, on Monday, September 12 of this year, she was booked into the Glenn County Jail on a warrant alleging felony violation of probation, with bail set at $85,000. She was taken into custody at the Butte County Jail by a Glenn County Sheriff’s deputy.
About a week ago, the Glenn County District Attorney’s Office issued a press release that included these words: “[Matney] was previously convicted of felony arson and was found in violation of probation for the second time. She was sentenced to 48 days in jail and probation was reinstated.”
A vehicle accident involving two big rigs and a pickup resulted in no injuries for two of the drivers and only minor injuries for the third.
At about 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4, Walter Mendoza, 21, of Bakersfield, was driving a 2012 Freightliner south on Interstate 5, south of County Road 57, in the slow lane at about 57 miles per hour.
Hector Delgado, 34, of Sacramento, was driving a 2014 Ford Transit south on I-5, south of Road 57, in the fast lane, next to the Freightliner, when an uninvolved vehicle slowed rapidly in front of the Freightliner.
The Freightliner swerved to the left, into the fast lane of traffic, and collided into the right (passenger) side of the Ford.
Both vehicles traveled out of control into the center median, then crashed into a culvert and separated.
The Ford continued in a southeasterly direction and came to rest on its wheels on the east shoulder of northbound I-5.
The Freightliner continued in a northeasterly direction and overturned onto its passenger side, spilling a load of lumber onto the northbound side of the freeway.
Rana Mehdi, 34, of Sacramento, was driving a 2022 Volvo semi north on I-5, in the slow lane, at about 56 miles per hour, when he saw the crash between the Freightliner and Ford.
Mehdi started to slow, applying his brakes and turning the Volvo to the right to avoid colliding with the Freightliner, but the front of the Volvo collided with the roof of the Freightliner.
According to California Highway Patrol Officer Shane Roach, all three drivers were wearing their seatbelts.
Delgado and Mehdi were not injured at all, and Mendoza sustained only a minor injury consisting of a small laceration to his right leg.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor and no one was arrested.
A year ago this very month, Philip Monroe “PJ” Pedro IV died in a tragic vehicle accident in Tehama County. PJ was a passenger in a vehicle when he lost his life on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021.
He was born in La Junta, Colo., to Philip Monroe Pedro III and Danni Mundahl-Scheffee on March 2, 1999. He attended elementary through junior high school in Orland.
He proudly received his high school diploma through the Job Corps in Utah, where he also obtained a degree in culinary arts. He then returned to Orland to put to use his newfound skills, working at East Coast Foods, located at the time on Walker Street. His coworkers there became like family.
However, PJ was an adventurous man and took a liking to exploring other trades, and later attended the Job Corps in Sacramento to become a heavy equipment operator. Upon completion, he became a proud member of the International Operating Engineers Union #3 in Northern California.
PJ had a passion and talent for heavy equipment of all kinds and enjoyed bettering himself daily with new challenges that he took on brazenly. Beyond the framed and signatured papers on the wall, PJ made his loved ones very proud, more so that despite innate adversity, complete determination was maintained, not only for his own self and future, but with much compassion for others as well, and their happiness almost always before his own.
His hobbies often centered around his family as well as his friends, enjoying musical forms of all sorts alongside a variety of artistic activities, and could often be found outdoors or with his pets – none of these activities ever absent of his unmistakable voice perpetually making those around him laugh.
PJ, who loved to joke around, knew how to keep most everyone’s spirits high, always working his hardest to help them find a better path, no matter the person. He truly had a vision for a positive future and positive thought process that he tried to instill in everyone he met.
Very seldom could PJ be found without a charismatic smile between his cheeks and within his voice, one that couldn’t help but be noticed alongside his lighthearted wit and playful actions.
PJ’s world truly was his family. He loved them in a way that couldn’t be denied by anyone, as he was constantly beaming with pride about the accomplishments and characteristics of each of them, clearly dear to his heart in a way not many people of such a young age tend to emanate.
He is survived by his parents, Phil and Dani; six siblings in Colorado Springs: Meriah Morgan, Nariah Smith, and Bryan, Bradley, Analyce and Aidan Scheffee; in California, his treasured Schroer family: aunt, Jeanette; uncle, Opie; cousins, Sunny, Justin and Trent, Dylan and Emma; aunt Tricia Ricca; cousins, Deanna, Danielle, and Bailey; and in turn many great-nieces and -nephews; and uncle Scott Pedro and family; his beloved girlfriend of three years, Macie Bacon; and lifelong friends, TJ Taylor and Brantley Begely, whom he would consider family as well.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Philip M. Pedro, Jr.; and his grandmother, Francine H. Hecker.
His loved ones agree, “We all in our own ways adore PJ and idolize still his kind heart and uplifting spirit, in which the absence has left a huge hole in our hearts, unfillable even with all the joyous memories we now hold even closer to our hearts as each day moves past. His presence in our lives was impactful in a variety of forms and learning to carry forward without him ripples through us like a silent weight that we must learn to overcome, using his voice and positivity as guidance.
“Words simply cannot express the grief that has struck our family, in which such an event bereaved us of one of our most radiant souls.”

Despite rumors to the contrary, no arrests were made pertaining to the cause of the fire that destroyed much of the Bucke’s Feed and Grain complex of structures in Orland Thursday night, Oct. 6.
Nor does it seem likely that any such arrests will be made in the future.
Yes, a man was arrested at the scene of the fire, but he was not arrested for arson or anything else directly concerning the fire itself. Rather, as the Orland Police Department reports, Roel Ramiro Torres, 45, of Orland, was intoxicated and refused to leave the closed fire scene.
He was arrested and booked for alleged public intoxication (a misdemeanor). His bail was set at zero.
Friday afternoon, Oct. 7, Orland Fire Chief Justin Chaney told The Observer that he was reasonably certain that the real cause of the inferno was a freezer motor that froze up and caught fire.

Of course, access to the scene of the fire Thursday night was extremely limited. At the time that the original report concerning the fire was published in The Observer, it was thought by many witnesses that the entire property owned by Jack Bucke on the east side of Sixth Street between Colusa and South Streets was destroyed.
This, however, was incorrect. The structures south of the old store were leveled, but the store itself was not.
Repairs to the power poles and power lines continued well into Monday, Oct. 10. Many nearby businesses were without power that day.

Fire departments that responded to the scene on Oct. 6 included Corning, Capay, Hamilton City, Artois, and Willows.
The Corning Fire Department responded with their ladder truck. The ladder trucks for both the Orland and Willows Fire Departments were in need of repairs, leaving Glenn County without a truck of its own, but Corning came to Orland’s aid.
