Oct. 28 to reports of a shooting
in the 100 block of SW 15th

fired.
Officers conducted follow-up,
located evidence, and deter-
mined the timeframe of the
possible shots fired to be from 5
to 6 a.m. on Oct. 28. Additional
follow-up and assistance from

found in Dry Canyon near the
dog park. It is not known with
certainty at this time if the shell
casings are related to the shots
fired calls, but the incident is
still under active investigation.
At this time there are no reports
of anyone injured or any prop-
erty damaged from the incident.
The Redmond Police Depart-
ment is asking for the public’s
assistance in locating any addi-

Quince Avenue to SW Highland
Avenue, specifically if you reside

yon, please review any available
surveillance cameras on Octo-
ber 28 from 5 to 6 a.m.
If you saw or heard anything
suspicious, or if your surveil-
lance footage shows anything
that could be useful, contact the
Redmond Police Department
through the non-emergency
line at 541-693-6911, reference
case #22-300091.
The Redmond Police De-
partment would like to remind
the public that it is illegal to dis-
charge a firearm in the city lim-
its. Unlawful Use of a Weapon,
ORS 166.220, is a Class C Fel-
ony.
Redmond High FFA finishes 19th in nation
Three individual silvers and one
gold placement for the team

Redmond High School FFA sent
four students to Indianapolis to
compete in the national FFA live-
stock judging championships Oct.
26-29 and won three individual sil-
ver and one gold individual place-
ments. The livestock judging team
placed silver and was ranked 19th in
the nation.
The livestock judging team com-
prised of juniors Mackenzie Walker
and Cade Storey, who each won silver,
and seniors Austin Evans and Emilee
Lindquist, who won silver and gold re-
spectively.
“We were so proud of them that they
made it this far,” said FFA instructor
Kendyl Puller who accompanied the
students to Indianapolis. “We were very
excited. They had a really good day.”
To qualify for nationals, the team
first had to win the title of livestock
judging state champions at the Oregon
State Fairgrounds in August.
During the national competition at
the Indiana State Fairgrounds, com-
petitors judged a variety of livestock
including steer, cattle, sheep and swine
and explained their reasons behind
each selection. Also feeding into the
team score was a written test and mar-
keting trial.
According to Puller, they introduce
the ideas of premier leadership, per-
sonal growth and success within their
classrooms and through FFA they are
able to develop student’s soft skills such
as public speaking.

culture instructor who has been teach-

PET OF THE WEEK
Meet Chub! Chub was
surrendered to BrightSide
as he is looking for a home
without other dogs. He ap-
peared to be a bit fearful of
men when he arrived at the
shelter. As he has settled
in, he has done lots better.
He’s a great guy looking for
lots of love.
He appears to be a pretty
social, once he knows
you. In the home environ-
ment, he is potty trained
and likes to go for walks
and explore. He appears to
have a moderate amount
of energy and is generally
well-mannered. His favor-
ite shelter activity has been
play time with staff and his
morning walks.
This gentle and kind boy
is looking for a comfort-
able home where there are
no other dogs.
If you’d like to meet
Chub, come to BrightSide!
