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

our vision for Whychus Creek
as a remarkable legacy for
generations to come.”
Launched in 2014, the
Land Trust’s Campaign for
Whychus Creek aims to pro-
tect the highest quality wild-
life habitat along Whychus
Creek, ensure the permanent
stewardship of those lands
for generations to come, and
engage the community in car-
ing for this unique resource.
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.
