Highway 20 Her end over Labor Day week- “I’m thrilled to have won Last week a Deschutes County Grand Jury returned an Indictment charging David William Fincher with: Manslaughter in The First Degree; 5 counts of Assault in The Third Degree; and DUII. The Indictment alleges that on September 11, 46-year-old David William Fincher, from Sherwood, Oregon, caused the death of a two-year old girl, and injured five others while driving under the influence of intoxicants. The incident occurred on Highway 20 near Tumalo. Fincher was eastbound in a pick-up truck when his truck crossed the center line and struck a car with the infant. Fincher’s truck then struck a third car causing injuries to all three occupants. Alcohol was a factor in the crash. “Any loss of life is difficult for family and friends to bear,” said Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel. “But the loss of an infant is par- ticularly heart-wrenching. Our traffic team is comprised of some of the best trial attor- neys in the state and we will work hard to ensure that jus- tice is done in this case.” Fincher was arraigned Monday on the indictment. He is currently held in the Deschutes County Jail and bail is set at $500,000. His next court hearing is October 10, at 1:30 p.m., for entry of plea. Agenda Sisters City Council, City Hall, 520 E.

I’ve bought tickets every year, but have never won anything my entire life other than once I won an apple pie at a local political group meeting — and I can’t eat sugar. I never thought I’d win, but always hoped. I appreciate very much the great work of the Furry Friends Foundation. Every pet deserves a healthy meal, and the spaying and neutering assistance provided is invalu- able,” said Hale. Hale brought along a pair of yellow labs when she col- lected her quilt at The Nugget office last Friday. Barney, age 10, is a special companion. “I just wanted a big dog to protect me,” Hale said.
