Though Ramon Ponce can’t pinpoint when he started singing, his talent for it won him first place in a contest when he was five years old. This was decades ago in the capital city of Puebla, Mexico, where he was born into a family of musicians on both sides. They lived close to Plaza Santa Inés, where mariachi musicians like his father, Ramon Sr., would spend the day playing for prospective clients who, if impressed, would hire them by the hour.

12/14/25 - Deputies will be working DUI overtime during the holidays The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have a dedicated traffic team or deputy assigned to DUI enforcement due to lack of funding. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes our roadways. December through January 1st, deputies will be conducting targeted DUI enforcement on state grant-funded overtime, including overtime patrols during and after the UO football game on December 20th. Please don’t be their next traffic stop! 🚙 Plan your safe ride home ahead of time 🍺 If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason 🔑 If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive 💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver 👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt! Drive safe this holiday season! Last week, deputies arrested two impaired drivers. We hope that’s a sign people are making good choices. On Monday, December 8th just before midnight, a deputy observed a vehicle driving poorly in the area of Highway 126 and Territorial Road, Veneta. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Cesar Figuero Mendoza, 47, of Eugene. The deputy observed signs Mendoza was impaired. After additional investigation, Mendoza was arrested for DUI. On December 14th at 8 p.m., deputies responded to a residence on Pheasant Boulevard, Springfield, after a resident observed a vehicle run into his parked car. The driver, Steven Anthony Cvitanovich, 58, of Springfield, was less than polite with the victim and refused to provide him with any information. Cvitanovich went to a nearby residence instead. Deputies contacted Cvitanovich. After additional investigation, he was arrested for DUII and Failure to Perform Duties of a Driver – Property Damage.
