For the second time, murderer Gerardo Valenzuela has been denied parole.
On Jan. 14 of this year, a parole hearing was held for inmate Valenzuela. Deputy District Attorney Michael Coffey attended the hearing on behalf of the People of Glenn County to oppose his release.
After a hearing that lasted more than three hours, the parole board determined that Valenzuela continues to pose an unreasonable risk to the public. He was denied his parole for three years.
About five years ago, on Feb. 1, 2017, at Valenzuela’s first parole hearing, he was denied parole and found unsuitable for release from prison for an additional five years. This parole board hearing was attended by then-Deputy District Attorney (now-Assistant District Attorney) Ruby Neumann at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.
In 1998, Valenzuela beat Ventura Ruiz to death with a hammer, then attempted to do the same to Efrain Garcia. He was convicted of second degree murder, and attempted second degree murder, with special allegations P.C. 12022(b)(1) (use of a dangerous or deadly weapon – in this case, a hammer – in the commission of a felony or attempted felony), and P.C. 12022.7(a) (infliction of great bodily injury on a person during the commission of a felony).
P.C. 12022(b)(1) adds three years to a sentence, while P.C. 12022.7(a) adds a year. Valenzuela was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.
The judge in this case was Angus Saint-Evens. The prosecutor was Glenn County District Attorney Robert Holzapfel.
Valenzuela’s attorney was Public Defender Albert Smith.
Late last year, the City of Orland began working with Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter to turn the Orlanda Inn Motel, 827 Newville Road, into a permanent housing facility for the homeless.
By a 4-0 vote (Councilman William “Billy” Irvin being absent) the Orland City Council approved the resolution between the City of Orland and Habitat for Humanity. (See the Dec. 5, 2021, story in The Glenn County Observer, “Habitat for Humanity plans habitat for the homeless in Orland”.)
The resolution approved in December supported the submission of a grant application for up to $8 million. However, since then, state grant agency representatives have advised Habitat officials that with structure removal and construction costs not yet known, the grant application amount should be increased to $12 million.
There is no increase in financial obligation by the City of Orland. At this point and foreseeably, funding will be provided by state programs, Glenn County resources, and Habitat for Humanity resources.
Below is the revised resolution. Changes to the original resolution are indicated in bold print.
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-03[the original resolution was NO. 2021-23 (Editor)]
A RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ORLAND AUTHORIZING JOINT APPLICATION TO AND PARTICIPATION IN THE HOMEKEY PROGRAM
WHEREAS:
A. The Department of Housing and Community Development (“Department”) has issued a Notice of Funding Availability, dated September 9, 2021 (“NOFA”), for the Homekey Program (“Homekey” or “Program”). The Department has issued the NOFA for Homekey grant funds pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50675.1.3 (Assembly Bill No. 140 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.), § 20.).
B. The City of Orland (“Co-Applicant”) desires to jointly apply for Homekey grant funds with Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter (“Corporation”). Therefore, CoApplicant is joining Corporation in the submittal of an application for Homekey funds (“Application”) to the Department for review and consideration.
C. The Department is authorized to administer Homekey pursuant to the Multifamily Housing Program (Chapter 6.7 (commencing with Section 50675) of Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code). Homekey funding allocations are subject to the terms and conditions of the NOFA, the Application, the Department-approved STD 213, Standard Agreement (“Standard Agreement”), and all other legal requirements of the Homekey Program.
THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED THAT:
1. Co-Applicant is hereby authorized and directed to submit a joint Application to the Department in response to the NOFA, and to jointly apply for Homekey grant funds in a total amount not to exceed $12,000,000.00[from $8,000,000.00 (Editor)].

4. City Manager or their designee, is authorized to execute the Application and the Homekey Documents on behalf of Co-Applicant for participation in the Homekey Program.
As reported previously in The Observer, the present Orland Inn Motel requires a great deal of attention from the Orland Police Department. It is believed that the new facility would greatly reduce the demands on law enforcement.
Councilmen also remarked that the Habitat for Humanity facility would greatly improve the appearance of the Newville Road/Highway 32 entryway to Orland.
The selection of residents, Habitat for Humanity says, would require that they meet certain qualifications. Ongoing site management would be provided.
The premises would be gated, and passcodes would be required to enter the property. In another effort to keep the “riff-raff” out, guests would have to check in.
Habitat for Humanity would own and operate the 30-residence facility, while Glenn County Health and Human Services would provide a variety of services to the residents, ranging from behavioral health to employment skills. Habitat for Humanity also has plans for a satellite administrative office in Orland and a ReStore surplus building products outlet.

In April of last year, The Glenn County Observer reported:
“Not too long after sunrise on Friday, April 2, a man called for law enforcement assistance.
“He said he encountered a trespasser on his property, and when he told the man to leave, the man pulled a gun on him.
“The property owner took off, and so did the trespasser.
“However, the alleged trespasser’s car (or one similar to it, which would be remarkable in itself) was spotted by an Orland police officer in the 700 block of Tehama Street.
“The officer made a felony stop (a stop made at gunpoint) and the driver was detained.
David Gutierrez, Jr., is led from a patrol vehicle for a drive-by identification. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.
“He was identified as David Gutierrez. Whether or not he was the same individual who exhibited the firearm, Gutierrez is a parolee and officers began searching him and his vehicle.
“Besides the contents of the vehicle, the car itself was interesting to behold. The car was missing its hood and at least two of its wheels were held on by three wrench sockets rather than five lug nuts.
“Gutierrez was sitting in the back of a patrol unit when The Glenn County Observer arrived. However, he was brought out when officers were told that the property owner would be brought by in another patrol unit to possibly confirm that Gutierrez was indeed the man who threatened him with a gun.
“When the nearly shirtless Gutierrez exited the patrol vehicle, Sgt. Greg Felton of the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office asked him why he was sweating so much. Gutierrez claimed it was because it was very hot in the patrol unit.
“As Gutierrez leaned with his back against his own car, in handcuffs and facing the street, a sheriff’s unit slowly drove by. It is presently unknown whether Gutierrez was identified as the man with the firearm.
“Nevertheless, although no gun was found in Gutierrez’s possession at the time, ammunition was allegedly found, and that is also a felony for a parolee. Gutierrez was placed under arrest.”
At 8:46 a.m. on Friday, April 2, Gutierrez was booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, smuggling a controlled substance into a prison, and violation of probation (all felonies). His bail was set at $30,000.

On Saturday, April 24, Orland firefighters were dispatched to a report of a fully involved vehicle fire at 67 East Walker Street, the address for Metro T-Mobile. The Honda was actually parked in the westernmost parking spaces for the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) employees in the Glenn Success Square, 125-127 East Walker Street.
The car was a total loss. It was the same vehicle Gutierrez was driving when he was arrested on April 2.
The Orland transient accused of starting a fire in the bed of Stony Creek in October has been found guilty and sentenced.
On Dec. 9, 2021, Heather Matney pled guilty to the Oct. 9 arson that resulted in six fire departments responding to the blaze. In the morning of Jan. 7 of this year, she was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 52 weeks of batterers treatment classes, and three years’ probation.
At 11:53 p.m. on 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, 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.
On Oct. 11, 2021, The Glenn County Observer reported:
“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 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.”
Surrounded by her family, Doris Marie Marez died peacefully on Monday, Jan. 10, 2022. She was born in Vinita, Okla., on March 19, 1940, before moving to California.
She spent most of her adult life in Turlock, where she had many friends. In 2014, she moved to Willows to be closer to her daughter.
She was a devoted Christian, daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandma, and friend. Her loved ones agree, “She was faithful, she was blessed, she will be greatly missed.”
They find comfort in John 16:22, which reads, “Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”
She is survived by her daughter, Pam (and Ron) Houck; grandchildren Frank Reynolds, Makaila (and Chris) Fenwick, and Starla Miller; and great-grandchildren Bradley, Jacquilyn, Hudson, Coltin, and Royse, plus the many more she adopted over the years. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ollie and Winnie Stapleton; brother Ray; sister Kay; and children Debbie, Roger, and Starla.
A graveside service is planned for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Willows Cemetery.

At about 3:20 Thursday afternoon, a call went out to Orland firefighters regarding a motorcycle that crashed into a structure.
Well, not quite, but almost.
The Honda motorcycle actually crashed onto the lawn on the Walker Street side of the Sandra Finch Realty business on the northeast corner of Walker and East Streets.
It was Sandra Finch who called 911. She later posted on Facebook:
“A young lady hit the rock wall in front of my office on a motorcycle. She was projected forward over the wall and walkway and landed on the lawn. Somehow nothing was broken. Her leg hurt but she was able to put weight on it. She will be very sore for a few days. Very Lucky young lady!!”

What caused the motorcyclist to lose control is not yet known. Judging from the marks on the sidewalk, she was traveling in a northeasterly direction at the moment her Honda jumped the curb and hit the rock wall.
A helmet was at the scene and presumably the motorcyclist was wearing it at the time of the accident.
An ambulance arrived at the scene but she declined to be transported for medical treatment.
Update: Friday morning, the Orland police logs identified the motorcyclist as Haillie Frenz, 20, of Durham.

Glenn County emergency responders had plenty to keep them busy during the last two hours of the morning on Monday.
Shortly after 10 a.m., Orland firefighters were dispatched to a report of a structure fire at 1317 Pine Street, south of the fairgrounds.
Orland police and a sheriff’s deputy got there quickly and made sure the residents were out of the house.
Orland Fire Chief Justin Chaney, reporting from one of the overpasses at Interstate 5, said that a large column of smoke could be seen.
The fire dispatcher said that he would go ahead and call for mutual aid from Artois and Willows.
Willows Fire Chief Nathan Monck, who lives in Orland, soon arrived at the scene.
Several Orland firefighters responded to the fire, as did Artois firefighters.

As The Glenn County Observer’s reporter was just about to make a left turn onto Pine Street from South Street, two Orland police units, with lights and sirens activated, turned from Pine Street onto westbound South Street.
Orland Police Sergeant Sean Johnson later said they responded to a single-vehicle accident at Almond Way and Rennat Way.
After firefighters gained control of the house fire, The Observer’s reporter headed to the vehicle accident.
On the south side of Almond Way, just east of Rennat Way, a young driver had apparently been traveling west on Almond Way when he lost control of his Infiniti, traveled across the roadway, and hit the guy wires of a power pole.

The pole itself did not appear to be seriously damaged and no power lines had fallen.
The driver appeared to be unhurt but the car sustained significant damage and was removed from the scene by Bambauer Towing.
