Partnerships for Youth
(COPY), a program of the
Deschutes County Sheriff’s
Office, is offering a class to
prepare volunteers to become
mentors for children with an
incarcerated parent.
After initial training
and comprehensive back-
ground checks, volunteers
are matched with children
in Sisters that share similar
interests and activities and
commit to spending a few
hours a week together for a
minimum of one year. This
time is often spent going to
community events, working
Nancy Montecinos, a stu-
dent at Sisters High School,
is being featured this week
as part of a statewide public
education support campaign,
“The Promise of Oregon.”
The “Promise” campaign,
which officially debuted in
November 2014, aims to cre-
ate public support for K-14
education, to help meet the
state’s 40-40-20 goals and
lift student achievement and
graduation rates. The Promise
campaign also showcases dis-
tricts whose cutting-edge pro-
grams are preparing students
for careers and college.
Montecinos is one of
four students statewide who
will be featured prominently
this week on the campaign
on homework, attending art
programs, participating in
sports, or simply hanging out
and talking.
On Saturday, January 14,
COPY will offer an orienta-
tion/training class. This six-
hour class covers program pol-
icies, how to establish a men-
tor relationship, the impact
incarceration has on families,
and communication skills.
There is no cost to attend. For
additional details call 541-
388-6651 or email COPY@
deschutes.org Additional pro-
gram information is available
at the Sheriff’s Office website
at www.deschutes.org/copy.

The website includes pho-
tos and videos of Oregon stu-
dents who have completed the

The campaign, coordinated
by the Oregon School Boards
Association (OSBA) is based
on two defining principles:
1. Today’s students are
Oregon’s greatest natural
resource. 2. We as Oregonians
must invest in our public
schools so the next generation
can reach its potential.
“We need to continue to
dream bigger,” said OSBA
Executive Director Jim Green.
“Public schools are the best
investment we can make in
our young people.”

PORTLAND (AP) — The
Oregon Court of Appeals has
reversed the conviction of
a wheelchair user who had
been found guilty of driv-
ing under the influence of
intoxicants.
James Greene of Waldport
was arrested in November
2012 after entering a cross-
walk in a motorized wheel-
chair and striking the side
of a moving pickup. Police
determined he was impaired
by alcohol and drugs, and
a jury convicted him of
drunken driving.
In his appeal, Greene
argued that he should have
been considered a pedestrian,

stabbing incident occurred
within the city limits of
Sisters.
Deschutes County patrol
deputies and detectives
responded to the hospital
and to the original scene in
Sisters and conducted an
investigation.
The Deschutes County
Sheriff’s Office served a
search warrant at the resi-
dence, located in the 500
block of South Pine Street
in Sisters. According to
sheriff’s detectives, the
investigation revealed that
Peter Kanzig stabbed Kyle
Benhower multiple times
causing serious injuries.
Benhower was treated by
SCMC staff and was reported
on Friday to be in stable con-
dition at SCMC.
“As a result of this inves-
tigation and evidence that
was obtained, Mr. Kanzig
was arrested and lodged at
the Deschutes County Adult
Jail on charges of attempted
murder, assault in the first
degree and unlawful use of
a weapon,” Sergeant Don
Manning reported. Kanzig’s
total bail is set at $360,000.
The investigation is con-
tinuing. The Deschutes
County Sheriff’s Office is
asking the public to contact
the agency at 541-693-6911
if they have any informa-
tion that pertains to this
incident.

not subject to the DUI law.
The state disagreed, point-
ing to a law that treats motor-
ized wheelchairs like bicycles
when they are driven on bike
lanes.
In its opinion Thursday,
the Appeals Court decided
legislators only intended to
have wheelchairs treated like
bicycles in that narrow cir-
cumstance, and users should
be considered pedestrians
when in a crosswalk.
