Denny and Sadie were the parents of six children. Martin Van married to Betty, Steve married to Suzanne, David married to Jouddie, Daniel married to Judy, Deena married to Francis and Diana married to Tim. He and Sadie loved and adored their nineteen grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren. Denny was a wonderful devoted husband and gentle loving father. He was described by many as the nicest man they had ever met. He was a man who you would never hear a negative word against. Denny was born and raised in Chico California. He loved the area and spent many days with his children in Bidwell park. One of his favorite things to do was to go to Potato Patch and fill containers with fresh spring water. He and Sadie along with their children frequented the Magalia area and picked apples from a long forgotten apple orchard. Denny's family members spanning five generations are buried in The Pioneer Cemetery in Magalia. He would often go there with his children and point out the various graves of their ancestors. His father David and Grandfather John drove the water wagons to Paradise on the Honey Run while the Skyway was being logged. Denny's father passed away when he was four years old but he was loved and nurtured by his older brothers. When he was six years old he would run into the fields to scare the wild game so his brothers could hunt and gather them for dinner. He wanted to be a helpmate to his widowed mother and when he was eight years old, he convinced her to let him work as a houseboy for a wealthy family. He said it was the hardest, most demeaning job he ever had but it taught him to have a firm work ethic. He graduated from Banning High School after his mother moved the children to Los Angeles where she worked as a prison guard to support her family. He then graduated from the University of Long Beach but longed to attend college in his hometown of Chico. He returned to Chico and graduated from Chico State. He has four college degrees and was a self-employed accountant and avid writer in his spare time. He wrote fascinating novels and beautiful Christian hymns.

CITY Continued from page 1A the city was cited by the state health department for failing a series of drinking water tests this spring. Jackson said she didn't believe that issue needed to come back before council, since Councilman Clay Parker's motion to move forward with the purchase never received a second. Parker said despite his motion failing he wanted to see the issue before council again along with another explanation from a water official about the impact of not moving forward, which may change someone's mind. The council chose to go the route of appointing a fifth member in July after citing the cost of a special election. The Tehama County Elections Department estimated an election would have cost between $15,000 and $50,000 depending on whether or not it aligned with the November ballot.

After hearing brief introductions from each of the four applicants for the vacated position, the board moved quickly and with no debate to appoint Eliggi. Schmid made the motion and following a brief pause was seconded by Mayor Wayne Brown. The actual voting went by so fast, Jackson never uttered an aye or nay. After City Manager Richard Crabtree asked Jackson what her vote was, the councilwoman said she hadn't. Jackson said she was County, Rogers said. Hedrick faces up to eight years in state prison for the felony count, Rogers said, but there is also a chance of probation in the case, which involved a 2010 incident between Hedrick, the same victim in the Butte County case and a then15-year-old boy.

"Even if they were here permanently, our response would be the same." Medfly outbreaks in the state led to aerial spraying in 1980s and 1990s, but the spraying was halted after it sparked a public outcry.

Growers within about 80 miles of a fly detection site are not able to ship their fruit unless they treat it with pesticides. The state also asks homeowners and growers within a quarter of a mile of the detection area to strip and destroy fruit from trees. Eradication costs are shared by the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2012, the state spent $360,000 on Medfly eradication and a total of $437,500 on all fruit fly eradication. Officials said that prior to sterile fly releases and baiting, eradication efforts took more time and were much more costly. Equine therapy workers sentenced in Medicaid scam RENO, Nev. (AP) — Two California women who ran an equine therapy center in northern Nevada have been sentenced in a Medicaid scam. Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto says 64- year-old Suzanne Pindell of Fork of Salmon and 44-year-old Terra Shepherd of Chico were ordered Wednesday to pay back $30,000 between them. Masto says the two women ran a Washoe County business called HealTherapy of Nevada that brought together people and horses to teach patients behavioral skills. Investigators say they were tipped off in 2010 that center officials had a habit of providing one hour of therapy for clients, but billing as if they provided two. Masto says company owners tried to justify the practice by saying the time included patient transportation and horse care, even though they knew the practice wasn't right.
