Attorney files motion
for co-counsel
BEND (AP) — The attor-
ney for a community college
security guard charged with
murder in Central Oregon is
asking a court to approve a
co-counsel, saying he expects
the charge to be elevated to
aggravated murder, making
him eligible for the death
penalty.
Edwin Lara, who worked
at Central Oregon Community
College in Bend, is jailed
in Northern California as a
suspect in a shooting and
carjacking in Yreka. He is
charged with murder in the
death of Kaylee Sawyer, 23,
of Bend, whose body was
dumped in a small canyon
off a highway between the
Central Oregon towns of
Redmond and Sisters.
In a motion filed last week,
Portland attorney Benjamin
Kim asked the Deschutes
Circuit County Court to
authorize the appointment
of Steve Lindsey, also from
Portland, as co-counsel.
Oregon bottle deposit
rising to a dime in April
PORTLAND (AP) —
Oregon’s bottle deposit is
doubling next April to try to
boost redemption rates.
Five years ago, the
Legislature decided that if the
redemption rate fell below
80 percent for two consecu-
tive years, the five-cent bottle
deposit would be doubled.
The redemption rate didn’t
even hit 70 percent in 2014
and 2015, so the deposit will
rise April 1.
Oregon Liquor Control
Commission spokeswoman
Christie Scott tells The
Oregonian/OregonLive that
the state will use the lag time
to work with manufactur-
ers, beverage distributors and
consumers to prepare for the
change.
Cans and bottle labeling
must be updated to reflect the
10-cent deposit and redemp-
tion centers must reprogram
their machines.

Swing concert benefits veterans
The Notables, a Bend
swing band, will perform
on Sunday, August 28, in
the tent at Shepherd of
the Hills Lutheran Church
from 4 to 6 p.m. There is
no charge for the event.
Donations will be accepted

Outfitters, a veterans sup-
port organization founded
by veteran Brett Miller of
Sisters.
“This annual gift to the
community is presented with
joy,” said church council
President Carmen Hull. “That
is our priority. The opportu-
nity to assist our veterans is
an added benefit. Our goal is
for everyone to have a good
time on a lovely summer
evening.”

The Notables plays swing
hits and golden oldies from
the 1930s-1950s in the tradi-
tion of Glenn Miller, Duke
Ellington and Count Basie.
They are a 17-piece group
with big-band sound that
plays at a variety of festivals
and music venues in Central
Oregon and often at the Bend
Senior Center.
They think of them-
selves as “infectious” with
bebop rhythms and recall
of lighthearted, fun memo-
ries. Their greatest desire
is to bring smiles to faces
of their older listeners and
to get younger generations
to appreciate the big-band
sound that once topped the
charts. The band likes to
get people tapping their feet
until they want to get up and
dance.
There are no tickets for
this event. The church wel-
comes everyone, including
summer visitors.
Shepherd of the Hills
Lutheran Church is located
