A memorial service will follow at 11am at Grace Community Church. After a long and fulfilling life, Martha died on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at Townsend House Assisted Living in Chico with her daughter at her side. She was born January 27, 1911 to John and Anna Warkentin in Escondido, CA as the youngest of seven children. In 1914 her family moved to Corn, Oklahoma and eventually settled in Capay, CA in 1924 where they farmed. In 1930 Martha gratuated from Hamilton High School and attended Chico State University for the next two years. She married Edwin W. Penner in 1933 and was married for 67 years until his death in 2000. They lived in Chico until 1988, then moved to Reedley, CA and back to Chico in 1996. She loved to sew and travel with her hus- band Ed. They visited Israel and cruised to Alaska. During the last few years of her life, Martha shared with many friends and family her desire to be with Ed again by join- ing him in heaven. During her marriage Martha worked for several years at find itself bulging should the increase in local authority over certain crimes send too many to jail time at the same time. The length of stay allowed at the county level has changed from a one-year general maximum to three years or more. Jail, law enforcement, courts, probation and other department budgets could be strained with the increased number of peo- ple to keep track of. How- ever, the state has promised, at least initially, to disperse some funding to help counties transition. An estimated 154 peo- ple in state prisons who are from Tehama County and scheduled to be released in the next two years will come out on probation, under county supervision, instead of parole, under state super- vision. The first group of "realigned" parolees will return to all counties in October. Tehama County the Sunshine Bakery in downtown Chico.

Chief Probation Officer Richard Meunch is leading the local Community Correc- tions Partnership, a group formed through state man- date to facilitate the realignment in the com- munity justice system. "This is probably the biggest change in criminal justice to take place in our generation," Meunch said. Instead of pessimism, he looks at the changing system as an opportunity to improve, he said. "Corrections is chang- ing as we know it," he said. The Community Cor- rections Partnership has met four times, including the most recent meeting Thursday afternoon. The general group con- sists of Meunch, District Attorney Greg Cohen, Chief Administrative Offi- cer Bill Goodwin, Red Bluff Chief of Police Paul Nanfito, Corning Police Chief Tony Cardenas, Social Services Director Charlene Reid, Health Services Director Valerie Lucero, Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion, Judge Jonathan Skillman, Sheriff Dave Hencratt, CalFire Chief Jeff Schiori and several others. The group is coming up with ideas on how to accommodate the influx of parolees into the local sys- tem. AB109 was signed as a way for California to save an estimated $458 million in the general fund by shifting financial and physical responsibility over thousands of prison- ers to the counties. The affected popula- tions are known as the "triple nons" or "non-seri- ous, non-violent, and non- sexual" offenders. It does exclude those considered mentally disordered offenders, third strikers, high risk sex offenders and those already serving a term in state prison. No prisoners will be shifted from state prison into the county jail, but those, from now on, con- victed of the lower level crimes will serve time locally instead of going to state prisons. For the county health services department, the idea of a realignment of services is not entirely new, Lucero said. The first realignment came in 1991, she said. It affected public health, mental health and social services, but excluded the drug and alcohol treatment services, which are direct- and its programs do not jeopardize the fish, said Bob Null, a biologist with the Hatchery Evaluation and Monitoring Program. In fact, the work at the hatchery is having positive impacts on fish population, he said. The biological assessment and a pending project to create a hatchery adaptive manage plan will aid hatchery staff in making decisions that best promotes the restoration of fish, particularly anadromous salmonids, in Battle Creek.

She's hoping this time things will be different, Lucero said. In a county resolution to establish Lucero as a voting member of the Community Corrections Partnership, it states that both mental health and drug and alcohol services are "integral to the ulti- mate plan." What AB109 has done is scramble the procedure in the chain of events from an offense to parole, Meunch said during one of the partnership meetings. Before, an offender would progress from com- munity service to proba- tion to jail to prison to parole, he said. Now things are changing. The bill has "rearranged the priority of risk," he said.

The restoration project is a coop- erative effort between several resource agencies and other stake- holders to restore about 42 miles of fish habitat in the Battle Creek watershed. The $128 million project requires the removal or modification of sev- eral dams along Battle Creek. The project is being completed in two phases, with a final completion date expected in 2015, said Mary Mar- shall, of the Bureau of Reclamation, the lead agency in the project. tecting mountain lions from being hunted and required any carcasses be turned over to the Department of Fish and Game. Fuller said she was pleased to help straighten out the bureaucratic mess. Her legislation allows museums and nonprofits to display dead mountain lions for educational purposes. ''It's really unfortu- nate that the initiative was written so poorly that the Legislature had to intervene 21 years later and correct this problem,'' Fuller said in a statement Friday.
