Joseph Frank Rodgers was born in Willows to Joseph Alfred and Goldie Clare (Ridgeway) Rodgers on May 28, 1934. He had five sisters and one brother.

He attended school in Princeton at the Boggs School for his first grade class. He then moved to Niles and attended second to seventh grades.

Then he moved to the Codora area, where he attended seventh and eighth grades with Mrs. Dillard as his teacher. He attended Princeton High School and graduated in 1952.

He went on to complete a two year program in Agriculture at San Luis Obispo.

Joseph married his first wife, Janice Lovett, in 1958. That marriage ended after four years.

He then married Maxine Youngs in 1962 and together they had two children: Thad Jay Rodgers in 1963, and RaeAnn Rodgers in 1964. That marriage lasted 17 years.

Joe then married Charleen Duerr in 1984 and they spent the past 36 years together.

He started rice farming in 1954 after returning from college, and has been farming ever since. He was awarded the Young Farmer Improvement Award.

Some of Joe’s hobbies included flying over the valley rice fields. He earned his pilot’s license in 1958 and owned a small Air Coupe from 1958 to 1972.

Over the years he took many family members for rides. He also enjoyed scuba and abalone diving, snow skiing and water skiing.

There were many yearly trips to Fort Bragg and Buck’s Lake with family and friends. He also enjoyed fishing and hunting deer and elk, as well as visiting their cabin in Loleta and having family dinners with his kids and grandchildren.

Joseph felt one of his great joys and accomplishments was being a Boy Scout Master for Troop 51, which he served for almost seven years. He still remembered the kids that he taught and the great things they learned together.

Joe was a member of the Elks Lodge for 62 years. He was always an inventor, coming up with several interesting and usable items. He repaired repurposed and fabricated farm and recreational equipment and vehicles.

In his years as a farmer, this was probably a necessity. But in later years he liked to challenge himself to see what he could come up with as a form of creative expression.

With duct tape, baling wire and a hose clamp or two, he would work wonders. Among his family’s favorites was the little red go-cart that he made for his children, and the giant mosquito that RaeAnn asked him to build for one of her projects.

Joe traveled to many places. He cruised the Panama Canal, went to Disney World in Florida, took

several trips to Hawaii, saw the World’s Fair in Washington, went ghost town hunting with the Calvert’s, traveled to Russia, Australia, the Bahama’s, and took several trips to Alaska.

Joe did many projects, including drawing up and helping to build his current house, adding on to the house, building a shop, building his grain bins, reconfiguring a Quonset hut which blew over and was replaced by a newer three-sided shop.

He is survived by his stepson, Mark Duerr; daughter RaeAnn, who gave him three grandsons: Scott (Lindsay), Matthew (Megan), and Gregory (Rylee); and five great-grandchildren.

A graveside service is planned at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 26, at the Willows Cemetery. This is to be followed by a Celebration of Life gathering at the Willows Elks Lodge.

The family invites the friends and loved ones of Joseph Rodgers to join them.

Glenn County Observer

An Orland man died early Saturday evening after crashing his vehicle as he was exiting the southbound Interstate 5 at Newville Road.

At about 7:05 p.m. on May 22, Eddie Ontiveroz, 38, of Orland, was driving his 2003 Lexus south on Interstate 5 and was taking the off-ramp to Highway 32 (Newville Road).

According to CHP Officer Bryant, due to Ontiveroz’s unsafe speed as he left the freeway and his failure to stop at the stop sign at Newville Road, he allowed his Lexus to continue into the intersection at Newville Road at a high rate of speed and cross all lanes of travel.

The vehicle left the south road edge of eastbound Newville Road and crossed the I-5 on-ramp, where it collided into a dirt embankment and chain link fence at the Pilot Travel Center.

Emergency responders were initially told the crash occurred north of Newville Road, but it was quickly found on the south side of Newville.

Ontiveroz was transported by ambulance to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, where he died.

He was wearing his seatbelts at the time of the accident. It is not believed that alcohol or drugs were a factor in this incident.

Three men from the Orland area were arrested on a variety of charges following a short but speedy pursuit up Interstate 5 Thursday morning.

It all began about 7:10 a.m. on May 20. Glenn County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to stop a vehicle for CVC violations on County Road 27 at Interstate 5.

The vehicle failed to yield to the deputies and entered northbound Interstate 5. The chase did not last very long, but it reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

Shortly after entering the freeway at Road 27, an occupant of the vehicle being pursued was seen throwing a handgun out a window. About seven minutes after the chase began, law enforcement officers begin searching for the weapon, and about two minutes after that, they find it along the east side of I-5, just north of the on-ramp.

About 12 minutes later, a sheriff’s detective asks the dispatcher to run the serial number of the firearm. It is a Beretta model 84F, serial #E52205Y.

The dispatcher later tells him that the firearm “comes back clear, [and it is] registered to a Sergio Gomez of [1828 Blowers Drive,] Woodland.” This seems to be the same person to whom the vehicle was registered as the owner.

When the vehicle reached Highway 32, it exited the freeway and ran the stop sign at the north end of the off-ramp. It turned right on Newville Road (Highway 32), then right again on Eighth Street.

Shortly after turning onto Eighth Street, it ran another stop sign. Near Eighth and Walker Streets (not Newville Road, but the residential street south of there), it collided with a chain link fence, and the three occupants fled on foot.

Two of them were apparently quickly caught in an alley off Swift Street, north of Newville Road, heading east toward Sixth Street (Highway 99). The third, the driver, was described as a “Hispanic male adult with tattoos on his face.”

Almost five minutes after the chase began at County Road 27, a law enforcement officer, apparently an Orland police officer, said, “We’ve got one running eastbound on Colusa [Street].” Less than a minute later, the officer announced, “One at gunpoint at AutoZone.”

The driver was identified as Damien Cruz Alvarez, 20, a dairy worker who lives at 1441 Pine Street, Orland. The other two were identified as Alex Parra Miranda, 27, a construction worker who lives at 6379 County Road 16, sp. #42, Orland, and Jacob Jonathan Doughtie, 19, a laborer who lives at 5689 County Road 200, Orland.

The dispatcher was asked to call a tow truck for the vehicle the three had been in. The dispatcher was told the vehicle was on “Eighth Street, just south of Walker” … “right in front of 728 Eighth Street”.

One or more of the three were taken to Glenn Medical Center for medical clearance. The jail records all three as being booked at 7:25 a.m.

Damien Alvarez was booked into the Glenn County Jail on felonies alleging evading a peace officer with wanton disregard for safety, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm, possession of a narcotic controlled substance, and criminal conspiracy, and misdemeanors alleging carrying a loaded firearm on one’s person or in a vehicle, hit and run, and possession of a controlled substance. His bail was set at $80,000.

Alex Parra Miranda was booked into the Glenn County Jail on felonies alleging criminal conspiracy, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm, possession of a narcotic controlled substance, committing a felony while released on bail, and violation of post-release community supervision, and a misdemeanor alleging carrying a loaded firearm on one’s person or in a vehicle. His bail was set at $95,000, although the violation of PRCS charge is usually a no-bail charge.

And Jacob Doughtie was booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging criminal conspiracy, possession of a narcotic controlled substance, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, and possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm (all felonies). His bail was set at $60,000.

According to the Glenn County Jail, all three were taken into custody at Ninth and Swift Streets, Orland.

If Damien Alvarez and Alex Parra Miranda look or seem familiar to you, Glenn County Observer readers, it may be because, in early March, before the Observer website even existed and we were publishing only on Facebook, we ran the following story:

Orland men arrested on gun, drug charges

Glenn County Observer

Orland ¬ Two Orland men were arrested Thursday afternoon, March 4, on a variety of charges, including gun and drug violations.

At about 2:18 p.m., Glenn County Sheriff’s deputies contacted Damien Cruz Alvarez, 20, and Alex Parra Miranda, 27, both of Orland, as they were exiting a white GMC Yukon on Yolo Street, west of East Street, in Orland.

Alvarez was seen driving the GMC and Miranda was observed in the front passenger seat.

Miranda was reportedly found to be on parole out of Colusa County and Alvarez was allegedly found to not have a valid California driver’s license.

The Orland Police Department’s K-9, Dutch, searched the vehicle and had a positive alert on it. A search of the Yukon by the deputies was conducted and a gray Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver was reportedly found in the vehicle.

Miranda and Alvarez were both subsequently placed under arrest. Alvarez was reportedly found to be in possession of cocaine and a small baggie containing prescription medications.

The pair was transported and to the Glenn County Jail.

Alvarez, of 1441 Pine Street, Orland, was booked into the jail on charges alleging possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm (a felony), possession of a narcotic controlled substance (a misdemeanor), possession of controlled substances without a prescription (a misdemeanor), carrying a loaded firearm in public (a felony), possession of a firearm by a felon (a felony), driving without a license (an infraction), possession of a stolen firearm by a felon (a felony), possession of stolen property (a felony), and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person (a felony). His bail was set at $110,000.

Miranda, of 6379 County Road 16, space #42, was booked into the jail on charges alleging carrying a loaded firearm in public, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm by a felon, possession of stolen property, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person (all felonies). Bail on the preceding charges was set at $90,000, but he was also held without bail for alleged violation of parole (a felony).

In July of 2020, Miranda was convicted in Glenn County Superior Court of possession of a firearm by a felon (a felony), possession of a short-barreled shotgun (a felony), and three misdemeanors for which he was found in violation of probation.

He was sentenced to two years in state prison and probation was terminated.

Also, on Friday, May 7, Alex Parra Miranda was booked into the Glenn County Jail on a court remand with charges alleging possession of a firearm by a felon (a felony), possession of ammunition by a prohibited person (a felony), carrying a loaded firearm in public (a felony), possession of a concealed firearm in a vehicle (a felony), possession of stolen property valued at $400 or less (a misdemeanor), possession of a narcotic controlled substance (a misdemeanor), possession of controlled substances without a prescription (a misdemeanor), driving without a license (a misdemeanor), and special allegations (a felony).

His bail two weeks ago was set at $40,000.
