Wednesday, March 1, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Stray bullet bounces off Central Oregon woman’s 2ead BEND (AP) — Police say a Central Oregon woman suffered only a small bump when a stray bullet crashed into her home and bounced off her head. The Redmond Police Department says the woman watching television Monday when the shot was fired. The bullet went through a wall of her neighbor’s home and a fence before entering the woman’s home. It went through a picture frame and had slowed significantly by the time it hit her. Redmond police Lt. Curtis Chambers told The Bulletin newspaper it was like having a small rock thrown at you. The woman said the incident was being overblown and declined further comment. The victim’s neighbor has been charged with unlawful use of a weapon, criminal mischief and reckless endan- germent. Police say he wasn’t shooting at anyone. Whychus campaign gets a big boost The Deschutes Land Trust Campaign for Whychus Creek got a tremendous boost last week — a gift of $530,000 from Tom and Janet Montag of New York. The gift repre- sents the largest individual gift of the campaign, with over $1.6 million raised from pri- vate individual contributions. A native Oregonian, Montag has long held a deep passion for salmon and steelhead, the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic spe- cies. The Deschutes Land Trust’s effort to protect salmon and steelhead habi- tat first caught Mr. Montag’s attention in 2003, when he contributed to the Land Trust’s effort to establish the 1,240-acre Metolius Preserve on Lake Creek, a key tributary to Oregon’s storied Metolius River. The Metolius River was most recently in the news as the spawning ground for more than 500 native sock- eye salmon that returned to the Upper Deschutes Basin this fall as part of a regional effort to restore salmon and steelhead to 220 miles of former habitats in Central Oregon. Born and raised in Beaverton, Montag went on to become a prominent interna- tional banker, currently serv- ing as the Chief Operating Officer of Bank of America and based in New York City. Yet, Tom Montag never forgot his roots and has long been passionate about seeing the return of Oregon’s most iconic species to the upper Deschutes River. “I grew up in Oregon, but have lived and worked all over the world. I’ve seen what can happen when you don’t protect special places,” he said. “For me, salmon define the Northwest, with their amazing journey to the North Pacific and then all the way back to these headwater streams in Central Oregon. I invest in the Land Trust’s con- servation work to help ensure these streams are still there for my children and grand- children and all the wildlife that depend on them. I hope my commitment to the Land Trust’s campaign inspires those lucky enough to live in Central Oregon to help with the Campaign in any way they can.” “Tom Montag and his fam- ily have played a major role in protecting the iconic lands Oregonians so value,” said DLT Executive Director Brad Chalfant. “With his help we can now see the finish line for our campaign for Whychus Creek. To date, we’ve had over 650 contributors to the Campaign and I’m confi- dent that our community will NuggetNews.com is your online source for BREAKING NEWS Starts Friday Fri., Mar. 3 – Thurs., Mar. 9 Logan (R) WINNEMUCCA/LAUGHLIN/ DEATH VALLEY MARCH 25-APRIL 1 | $649 PPDO $729 SINGLE OCCUPANCY 8 days/7 nights on this tour to a very requested destination!

In the first two years of the campaign, the Land Trust protected an additional 2.25 miles of Whychus Creek and finalized an agreement to pur- chase the 1,120-acre Rimrock Ranch, which includes another two miles of Whychus Creek. Over the next five months the Land Trust hopes to raise an additional $400,000 from local contributors.
