enact security fixes he suggested last summer to stem drug
dealing and other crimes.
State liquor inspector David
Luster assured residents at the
neighborhood association
meeting that he’s investigating
all 12 businesses at Lottery
Row, and will seek earlier bar
closing times once their liquor
licenses come up for renewal
next April.
Oregon State Lottery Director Larry Niswender promised
neighbors that the number of
retailers hosting state lottery
terminals at the strip center
will be reduced from 12 to six in
mid-2015, when their lottery licenses come up for renewal.
Many of the 30 residents at
the Hayden Island Neighborhood Network meeting welcomed the police attention, but
several seemed cynical about
the promises.
“Basically, you’ve created
this problem.” said Hayden Island resident Ron Ebersole, addressing the state lottery director. “I haven’t yet heard a real
solution out of you guys.”
Resident Cliff Roberts said
he’s witnessed many drug deals
take place openly inside the lottery delis and bars, and saw an
on-site manager greet a drug
dealer by name.
“It’s very easy to shut these
places down,” Roberts said.
“What we need from you, Luster, is to pull the frigging licenses.”

Report says PPS high school
changes are paying dividends
G raduation rate, achiev ement gap mov ement show p rogress
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
The Tribune
Just a year after Portland
Public Schools’ controversial
high school redesign effort,
district leaders are lauding
the successes while still noting the challenges ahead.
PPS leaders are highlighting a
new 100-page ECONorthwest report that cites increased graduation rates, a smaller achievement gap and more equitable
access to the core curriculum.
The biggest changes to the
system included the closure of
the Marshall Campus, conversion of Jefferson into a “middle
college,” and reconsolidation of
Roosevelt’s three small schools
into one.
The district also clamped
down on the enrollment and
transfer policy to encourage students to attend their neighborhood high school, which resulted
in more balanced numbers of
students, teachers and programs offered.
According to the study, high
school data shows that the new
framework is on track to meet 17
of the district’s identified 22
goals and measures: the on-time
graduation rate has increased 9
percentage points, the achievement gap has narrowed and the
portion of families who choose to
send their students to PPS high
schools is stable and growing.
There are also goals set for
the full implementation time, in
the 2014-15 school year.
Specifically, the report says,
PPS is: “exceeding” four high
school system design performance targets, “meeting” four
targets, “on track” to achieve
nine performance targets and
“not on track” to achieve five
targets.
Some of those measures include:
■ Graduation rate: The fouryear graduation rate has increased 9 percentage points
since 2008-09. At this rate, PPS
high schools are projected to exceed the high school system design’s 2014-15 target to improve
the on-time graduation rate by
10 percentage points.
■ Achievement gap: The
achievement in on-time graduation narrowed 11 points (between white and Hispanic students).
■ Equitable core program:
across the system, high schools
now have in place 90 percent of a
defined core program that is designed to offer every PPS student access to a well-rounded
array of course offerings, which
provide both opportunities for
Advanced Placement, International Bacculareate or collegecredit classes, as well as supports.
■ Enrollment parity: PPS’
most under-enrolled schools are
attracting more students and the
gap between PPS’ largest and
smallest comprehensive campuses has narrowed by 40 percent.
■ Capture rate: PPS high
schools remain the schools of
choice for families living in the
school district boundary.
The school board on Monday
took up the 100-page ECONorthwest report and discussed next
steps for the High School System
Design. The meeting can be
viewed at pps.net or on Comcast
Channel 28.
District officials also held a
live-stream discussion about
PPS high schools (including an
ECONorthwest researcher and
high school staff), Wednesday
afternoon.

he shocking and sickening
magnitude of the school
shooting rampage in Connecticut last week will understandably make it hard for people
here in Oregon to separate reasonable
responses from purely emotional
ones.
As our communities join the rest of
the nation in mourning the horrible
loss of 20 children — as well as the
adults who tried to protect them — we
also are seeing local school officials,
state legislators and others come forward with ideas for keeping our children safer. The difficulty will come in
evaluating which of these ideas can be
effective — when weighed against all
available evidence — in discouraging
or preventing these types of attacks.
Oregon already was reeling from
the shootings that occurred at Clackamas Town Center last week. As a result, a localized debate over control of
assault weapons already was emerging. Now, the shootings in Newtown,

our community endured a horrific act of
violence. A place that
should be safe — a place where
I spend time with my own family — was transformed into a
living nightmare by an individual determined to commit mass
murder.
Above all else, we must remember the two people who
were tragically taken from us
that day: Cindy Yuille and Steven Forsyth. Kristina
Shevchenko was wounded but
is receiving medical treatment.
Please keep them and their
families in your thoughts and
prayers throughout this holiday season, and beyond.
That day was a nightmare,
but those of us who work in
public safety knew that it was a
nightmare that might come
true someday, so we prepared
for it. Listening from the command post, I was proud of how
every member of the sheriff’s
office responded in this crisis
— implementing our established active shooter protocol.
They acted with courage and
professionalism, even while
putting their own lives on the

that the suspect was hiding in a
service hallway, reloading his
rifle. One of our “hunter cells”
gathered outside the access
door. Afterward, a deputy on
that team told me, “When I
went through that door, I fully
expected that I was going to be
shot.”
He went through that door
anyway.
We didn’t do this alone.
Without even being asked, police officers from other jurisdictions responded to the mall and
deployed side-by-side with our
deputies. Police chiefs in several neighboring cities said,
“Send everybody!” while others
stepped in to handle unrelated
calls for service that we continued to receive during this
emergency.
Along with their regional
partners, Clackamas Fire District No. 1 arrived in force, fully
prepared to render medical
care if this turned into a masscasualty situation. Leaders
from the Portland Police Bureau, Oregon State Police, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
also responded to the scene, all
with the same focus: saving
lives.
In addition to the efforts of

keep themselves safe and took

Like others, I am sick of the

killings such as the children
slain in Newtown, Conn.
This sensationalism is exactly

Therefore, let legislation be

p rop osals ready before
recent shootings
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
A number of gun control
measures were being prepared for the 2013 Oregon
Legislature even before the
shootings at the Clackamas
Town Center and at a Connecticut elementary school.
After the brutal murder of 20
children and seven adults in
Connecticut, gun control is
guaranteed to be one of the hottest issues of the session.
“I really see the elementary
school shooting as a tipping
point,” says state Sen. Ginny
Burdick, D-Portland, who has
tried for years to pass gun control legislation in Salem without success. “When you have
children shot 11 times by an assault rifle with a high-capacity
magazine, it makes people realize something has to change.”
Gun control opponents are
preparing to fight the bills next
session, however. Kevin Starrett, director of the Oregon
Firearms Federation, says the
problem is not the design of certain guns, but the fact that “bad
people do bad things.”
After a gunman killed two
people, wounded another and
then took his own life during
the Dec. 11 Clackamas Town
Center rampage, Burdick said
she was already preparing two
gun control measures. One
would ban magazines for semiautomatic pistols and rifles that
hold more than 10 rounds. The
other would prevent holders of
concealed carry permits from
bringing their guns onto school
property.
After the Dec. 11 shooting,
Ceasefire Oregon said it would
seek sponsors for a third gun
control bill at the Dec. 14 special
session of the Legislature. It
would ban the sale of militarystyle assault rifles in Oregon,
like the AR-15 used by the shopping mall killer just three days
earlier.
“Some guns are just too dangerous to have in circulation,”
says Katie Pool with Ceasefire
Oregon, a gun control advocacy
group.
But just as the Dec. 14 session
was beginning, news broke of
the mass shooting at the school
in Newtown, Conn. Word quickly spread through the halls of
the Capitol. Twelve legislators
promised to sponsor the bill by
the end of the day. Most represent Portland and nearby communities. Two
are from districts that include Clackamas Town Center, state Sen.
Rod Monroe,
D-Portland, and
state Rep.-elect
Jeff Reardon,
BURDICK D-Portland.
The bill also
proposes a range of options to
take existing assault rifles out
of circulation, disable them or
render them safer, Pool says.
A fi ght in Congress
Starrett insists that more
laws will not prevent future killings. He noted that Norway has
some of the toughest gun control laws in the world, but rightwing extremist Anders Breivik
still killed 77 people there in
July 2011, including 69 at a
youth camp.
Instead, Starrett calls for
arming teachers and teaching
them how to shoot to prevent
future school killings.
“I know instructors all over
the state who are prepared to
work with teachers for free,”
Starrett says.
Burdick strongly disagrees.
“The National Rifle Association has argued for years that
the answer is to arm more people,” she says. “Well, we’ve
tried that, and all we’ve gotten
is more mass murders and
more death in the streets.
We’ve got to take a different approach.”
Congress may preempt any
action by the 2013 Oregon Legislature, however. President
Obama has announced he will
introduce legislation in January.

Lottery: G ood neighbor agreement is elusiv e
“ It’s going
to be a slow
process and
I assure you
I’m going to be
on top of it.”
The Season’s First BIG
Storm Is On It’s Way!
Retired j udge Charles Kuffner was one of several Hayden Island residents grilling leaders of the Portland Police
Bureau, Oregon State Lottery and Oregon Liquor Control Commission at last week’s neighborhood association
meeting about “ Lottery Row.”
and C.J.’s voluntarily started
closing at 1 a.m., Leloff said.
Retailers also scheduled a
Jan. 8 meeting with Lottery Row
landlord Gordon Sondland, a
politically connected hotel owner, civic leader and philanthropist.
Sondland has declined interviews about Lottery Row. His
spokesman, Brian Gard, said
Sondland has not been involved
in negotiations with police.
Julie Ramseth, the property
manager for Lottery Row, was
unaware of a drug problem or
high crime levels at the strip
center, and said that it’s safe for
customers. Some of the retailers do have security cameras
inside and outside their premises, Ramseth said, and the
property management company employs a security company
that conducts random drivethroughs.
As police continue their own
crime investigations at Lottery
Row, Luster is using the findings to issue warnings and fines
to proprietors.
“It’s going to be a slow process and I assure you I’m going
to be on top of it,” Luster told
Hayden Island neighbors.
OLCC uses a system of “progressive discipline” during a rolling two-year period, much like
car insurance companies track
moving violations and accidents
for motorists.
This year, OLCC has issued
seven warning letters and six
fines to Lottery Row businesses,
with a seventh one pending,
said agency spokeswoman
Christie Scott. Most were for
drug violations during October
and November, after police
stepped up enforcement. In addition, Luster issued four “educational” letters to Lottery Row
businesses since June, again
about drug activity.
Generally, OLCC does not
close down establishments or
take away their liquor licenses
unless it can show a persistent
pattern of violations during a
two-year period.

Roger Staver, former chairman of the Hayden Island Neighborhood Network, asked what it
would take to close down one of
the bars — a murder? A death on
the premises would result in an
emergency liquor license suspension, Luster replied. However,
that only would last a few days,
and would be subject to appeal.
Hayden Island residents appeared to direct most of their ire
toward Niswender.
Niswender said Lottery Row
developed before he took control
of the state agency, and said he
didn’t have the authority to shut
down any of the establishments
until the new regulation passed
in October.
“There was no rule in place . . .
during the time this happened,”
Niswender said. “There wasn’t
any existing authority that said,
‘You get one, you don’t.’ “
However, a 2002 regulation
granted the lottery director power to reduce the number of video
lottery terminals if a company
wanted to set up a clone in the
same strip center.
Two months after the Tribune
first publicized the formation of
Lottery Row in December 2010,
Niswender vowed to put the
problem “on the front burner.”
He appointed an advisory committee to consider a new rule limiting the concentration of lottery
retailers at one strip mall. The
committee was stacked with lottery retailer representatives and
state lottery staff, plus one police
representative and one citizen’s
representative.
That rule, which might have
given Niswender authority to
yank retailers’ lottery machines
immediately, was nixed in May
by Oregon Lottery commissioners, saying it wasn’t fair to the
retailers and might provoke lawsuits. The toned-down regulation
passed in October would leave 12
lottery retailers in place at least
until mid-2015.
By then, the strip center might
be condemned to make way for
the Columbia River Crossing
bridge, freeway and light rail
project.
Oregon Restaurant Services,
perhaps in anticipation, recently
purchased a former Zupan’s grocery story on Hayden Island, on
the opposite side of Interstate 5.
Residents fear that Lottery Row
could be re-created there.

County ex tends
composting permit
The Washington County
Commission voted Tuesday to
extend the permit for the Nature’s Need composting plant to
accept food waste for one
month.
The extension is intended to
give the plant’s owners and
North Plains residents one last
chance to find a solution to the
odors coming from the plant,
located just outside the city limits. The plant recycles much of
Portland’s food waste.
Recology, the company that
owns the plant, is proposing
an odor monitoring program
and operating hour changes.
North Plains residents near
the plant complain that the
odors are making their lives
miserable.
The commission’s next vote
is set for Jan. 22.
Metro puts natural
areas levy on ballot
The Metro Council voted
Tuesday to place a five-year
levy to maintain its natural areas on the May 2013 ballot.
The proposed rate is 9.6 cents
per $1,000 of assessed property
value, which would raise around
$10 million annually and cost the
owner of a $200,000 home slightly less than $20 a year.
Metro owns about 16,000 of
natural lands and open spaces.
The vote came despite a request from 19 mayors for more
time to study the potential impact on their budgets.
State approves local
Gain Share funds
A developer is asking the city to remove the camp so he can convert a former hotel into a youth hostel and
restaurant.
to the Chinatown Gate. In addition, the Portland Business Alliance recently sent a letter to
city officials asking for removal
or relocation of Right 2 Dream
Too.
Even though both Gold and
members of Right 2 Dream Too
have said they want the same
thing — moving Right 2 Dream
Too to another site — it appears
little progress has been made in
working toward that goal.
Right 2 Dream Too spokesman Ibrahim Mubarek says the
lawsuit came after fruitless
meetings with City Commis-
sioner Dan Saltzman about potential alternate sites for the
group.
“We figured the best thing
was to sue them and maybe
they’d come to the table,”
Mubarek says.
Saltzman declined to be interviewed for this story because of
the litigation.
Wright, co-owner of the property that is being leased (basically for free) to Right 2 Dream
Too, says Gold’s effort to generate complaints appears to have
triggered more Bureau of De-
velopment Services inspections
at the site, and that BDS inspectors recently questioned the
size of one of the camp’s tents.
“I think they’re trying to administer as much pressure as
they can,” Wright says.
Still, he’s convinced that Gold
is bluffing about pulling out of
the hostel development as long
as Right 2 Dream Too remains
across the street.
“I think there’s too much
money on the table to be made
for it to be anything other than
that,” Wright says.
Oregon will soon pay Washington County about $11.5 million owed to it under the state’s
Gain Share provisions of the
Strategic Investment Program.
The payment was approved last
week by the Oregon Legislature’s Emergency Board.
The payment represents 50
percent of the income taxes
generated by new jobs created
with the help of county property tax waivers.
Washington County officials
have been wrestling with the
state for a few months on the
amount of money that should
have been paid after the county
provided specific breaks for local companies locating offices
and facilities there. Some legislators want to reduce the Gain
Share funding that goes back to
counties.

t’s the days before Christmas and all through the
city lights adorn the landscape and to miss them
would be a ... pity.
OK, for one last tour, try the
following to stay in the festive
mood:
■ DO W NT O W N — It’s the 58th
year of the decorated boats of
the Christmas Ship Parade —
55 to 60 of them — cruising up
the Columbia and Willamette
rivers. The final two nights of
tours are Thursday and Friday, Dec. 20 and 21 on the Portland-area waterfront. For information, go to christmasships.org.
And, take a minute to walk
by and enjoy the 75-foot
Christmas tree at Pioneer
Courthouse Square.
■ E AS T S I DE — The Peacock
Lane homes in the Southeast
Portland neighborhood will be
in all their glory in the days
leading up to Christmas and
afterward — the tour starts at
6 p.m. each night through Dec.
31 just off Southeast 39th Avenue. For info: peacocklane.net.
Meanwhile, The Grotto, 8840
N.E. Skidmore St., continues
to be one of the city’s main attractions, with Christmas carolers and lights galore making
the 62-acre Catholic shrine
and botanical garden shimmer
during the season. It opens at
5 p.m. each day (closed Christmas), and it’s admission prices
are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors
and $4 for children. For info:
thegrotto.org.

screenings and carolers,
choirs and dancers. The three
final days are 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

youth. For info: pittockmansion.org.
The Oregon Zoo, 4001 S.W.
Canyon Road, recently welcomed baby Asian elephant
Lily to the herd, and she’ll be
forever known as the Christmas-time baby. About the
same time she joined us, the
Oregon Zoo put up its holiday
decorations for the 25th year
— life-size animal silhouettes,
moving sculptures, forests of
lighted trees and light-bedecked train among them. It
opens at 5 p.m. each day
through Dec. 31 (closed Dec. 24
and 25), with admission $12.50

■ NO R T H — What better way
to stay warm while enjoying
terrific lights than cruising
through the 20th Jubitz Winter Wonderland at Portland International Raceway, 1940 N.
Victory Blvd. This year’s highlights are “12 Days of Christmas,” Santa jumping down an
84-foot ski slope, reindeer flying over your car and a giant
colorful poinsettia arch. Tours
start at 5 p.m. each day
through Dec. 31. Admission
varies, including $16 per car.
For info: globaleventsgrouppdx.com.
And, the lighted,
5,500-square foot Queen Anne

Pamplin Media Group
If you’re looking for a
slightly different New Year’s
Eve party, you might consider
checking out the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience
with Portland’s Shook Twins
at the Alberta Rose Theatre.
Both groups play twice, first
at 7 and then 10 p.m.
Grisman is a musician’s musician, combining jazz, bluegrass
and other styles as a mandolinist, composer, bandleader and
producer.
Along the way, he’s played
with Stephane Grappelli, Tony
Rice, Frank Vignola, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall and Hal

quintet. He’s also collaborated
with Jerry Garcia, Stephane
Grappelli, the
Grateful Dead,
John Hartford,
GRISMAN Del McCoury,
Bonnie Raitt,
Linda Ronstadt, Earl Scruggs,
James Taylor and Doc Watson.
Meanwhile, twin sisters Laurie and Katelyn Shook have become one of the region’s most

and opening for such acts as
Ryan Adams, Michelle Shocked
and The Bodeans.

Sore throat
Some bands, like the Rolling
Stones, start out with one singer and stick with him or her for-
Keith Little (who’s jammed with
Ricky Skaggs, Dolly Parton and
the Country Gentlemen) on fivestring banjo, guitar and vocals;
Jim Nunally of John Reischman
& the Jaybirds on guitar and vocals; Chad Manning on fiddle
and Samson Grisman on bass.
The New Year’s Eve shows
should fit the season, David
Grisman says.
“I’m sure it will be a celebratory atmosphere, and we’re
working up a whole slew of
tunes for a tribute to the Doc
Watson project, so this show
will certainly be special and different from what we’ve been doing lately,” he says. “It definitely
will be ‘hardcore’ traditional
bluegrass.”
Grisman says his approach to
performance is sort of semidemocratic.
“I have some truly gifted musicians in both my bands — the
David Grisman Sextet and the
Bluegrass Experience — and
I’m always glad to have their input,” he says. “Of course, I make
the final, or temporary, decisions, but I always consider
what the band members think
and usually we all agree because we have similar musical
outlooks.”
Jerry’s ‘ Dawg’
A big promoter of acoustic
music, Grisman says it’s hard to
gauge the health of the genre.
“Sales in the music business
are down for many reasons, and
I suppose that’s some kind of
bottom line,” he says. “Nevertheless, there are many very
talented young acoustic musicians who are taking various
forms of roots music, including
ever. Then there are groups like
Deep Purple, Van Halen and
Iron Maiden, whose fans often
split along the lines of who was
that particular group’s best vocalist. For later-to-the-party
Maiden fans, it’s likely Bruce
Dickinson wears that crown,
but the band’s original fans
might be prepared to go to battle for Paul Di’Anno, who sang
on the metal legends’ eponymously titled debut. Like any

all use microphones, just like
Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and
the Stanley Brothers.”
On that note, Grisman believes oldies, in terms of sound
equipment or acoustic acts, are
goodies.
“I don’t think that there have
been any advances made in
these areas since the 1950s,” he
says. “The best microphones are
still the classic designs from
that time, and the best concert
halls in the world have been
around longer than that. The
best mandolins, banjos and guitars were made in the 1920s and
1930s and violins and basses, of
course, go much further back
than that.
“Perhaps musicians and engineers are more knowledgeable
now in their employment of
these technologies,” he adds.
“But the acoustic concept has
been around for literally centuries, and that’s part of the reason it’s so fabulous.”
Probably best known in the
general public’s mind because of
his collaborations with Garcia
— who nicknamed him “Dawg”
— Grisman says he misses his
old friend.

Occupy music!
According to the bio for the
Patchwork Family Band, guitarists and singers Sam Gustafson and Justin James Bridges “met at Occupy Portland
(where Bridges served as a interpreter for the deaf) and became good friends at the camp,
waking up in the morning to
play whatever songs came to
mind, and developing a sound
together.” As time went on, they
formed a huge jam band, which
then reformed as a “multigenre, good time (group) known
as Patchwork Family Band.”
The outfit combines blues, rock,
hip-hop, folk, reggae and jazz
(you can hear everyone from early Jefferson Airplane and Joan
Baez to Blind Melon in their
sound). Since the band formed
about a year ago, it’s already
played all over Oregon as well as
in Seattle, California and Texas.
Its other members sport some
nifty names, with Mermaid on
flute, harmonica, guitar and vocals and Renaissance on bass
and vocals.

You might say the idea for
the latest Gresham Art Committee exhibit took flight on
Dec. 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk,
N.C.
That’s the day the Wright
Brothers flew their first airplane, launching a revolution in
travel that has taken humanity
all over the globe, and off it as
well into outer space.
“Before that, men and women
had flown in hot-air balloons,
but the Wright brothers were
the first to achieve powered
flight, which relied on wings,”
says Michael R. Anderson, lead
curator of “Wings,” which is on
display at the Gresham Visual
Arts Gallery in the City Council
chambers, 1333 N.W. Eastman
Parkway, through Jan. 31.
The show examines winged
flight by insects, animals and
people, Anderson says, and it
includes such art forms as wall
hangings, ceramics, drawings,
paintings, photography and
sculptures.

Aliquant
Hi, I’m Aliquant, and I like
people so much that I like
to cuddle when I’m held.
I’ve had some rough times
living by myself on the
street, but now that I can
relax a little, I’ve discovered that wand toys are
fantastic. I get so excited at
playtime that I’d probably
do best in a home without
young children and with
some experienced cat people. I’m FIV+, but that
doesn’t need to be a
deal-breaker. Cats with FIV
can live long healthy lives;
I just need to be an only
cat or with other FIV+ cats.
Won’t you meet me at

■ F rom p age 8
■ “He’s not a great leaper,
but his timing is just like out
of this world. Kind of reminds
me of me.”
— Former Charlotte coach
Paul Silas on Love.
■ “I wanted to feed them. I
was more thinking about it
selfishly. I wanted to make it,
but I also wanted to give them
some Taco Bell.”
— Portland reserve Luke
Babbitt on sinking a 3-pointer
on Portland’s final possession
of a home game. The basket
pushed the Blazers over the
100-point barrier, meaning
each fan got a coupon for a
free chalupa.
■ “That’s crazy. I wish I’d
have shot one. I’d have probably made it.”
— Portland center J.J. Hickson after the Blazers set an
NBA record for futility by going 0 for 20 from 3-point range
in a win over Toronto. Hickson
is 0 for 8 from beyond the arc
in his career.
■ “If this is a contract year,
he just got a nice one off of
us.” — Chris Paul, after Hickson put up 29 points and 13 rebounds in a 98-97 loss to the
L.A. Clippers.
■ “Is that a misprint? I’m
speechless on that.”
— Portland coach Terry
Stotts, after the Blazers out-
scored the Raptors 54-26 in
points in the paint. Portland
ranked next-to-last in the NBA
in the category at that time.
■ “We have one of the more
amazingest crowds in the
NBA.”
— Forward Gerald Wallace,
before being traded by the
Blazers to the Nets.
■ “He was talking to me. I
was trying to understand what
he was saying, and the ref
said, ‘Quit looking at him.’ I
didn’t know I couldn’t look at a
human being. Can’t touch him,
can’t look at him — what’s
next?”
— Joel Przybilla, while still
with Portland, after getting into a lively conversation with
LeBron James.
■ “I’m sure it is. I’m riding
him like freaking Secretariat.”
— Mike D’Antoni, then New
York’s coach, asked if fatigue
played a factor in Jeremy Lin
committing eight turnovers in
a game.
■ “It’s up to the organization to say if they want to
match that ridiculous contract
that’s out there.”
— New York’s Carmelo Anthony on Houston’s three-year,
$25 million offer sheet to free
agent Lin.
■ “I have no problems with
Mike Brown at all — I just
have to be patient.”
— Lakers executive vice
president Jim Buss, on rumors

danger after a 1-4 start. A day
later, Brown was fired and
D’Antoni hired.
■ “I kind of feel like a cougar — not too old to draw interest (from NBA teams), but
maybe overlooked because of
my experience and age.”
— Steve Nash, before signing a free-agent contract with
the Lakers.
■ “I cut the trophy in half.
Now I use it for a salsa bowl.”
— Former NBA player Brent
Barry, on winning the slamdunk contest during NBA AllStar weekend as a rookie with
the Clippers in 1996:
■ “I live in D.C. It’s a shame
the president isn’t going to get
a chance to meet me. I’m the
president of my house.”

Dallas, prohibited from attending the NBA champion Mavericks’ visit with President
UO: Dungy hop es to ex p and role
■ F rom p age 8
you’re more in space to move laterally, and (the Ducks’) Jake
Fisher and Tyler Johnstone do a
good job of that. I’d rather play in
tighter space. I’m still learning
leverage, trying to get the correct hand position. It’s a different
position, and it comes with subtleties you need to learn.”
The Oregon O-line has tried to
play with a “nasty” demeanor,
and Long likes that.
“If you’re not the mean dog,
you’re going to get chewed up by
the other mean dogs,” he says.
Long and the Ducks petitioned
the NCAA for another year of eligibility, but it was denied; this is
his lone season with Oregon.
It’s a long story, but the gist of
his college athletics career goes
like this: Despite multiple football scholarship offers, he signed
with Florida State for baseball
(as a pitcher), partied his way out
of college (a DUI arrest was part
of that) and went back home to
Virginia to get his life together.
He returned to football, played
defensive line at Saddleback and
then switched to offensive line.
At issue for an added year of eli-
gibility was whether the year at
FSU should count.
Either way, the Ducks have a
23-year-old player who has been
down the tough road and lived,
athletically, to tell about it.
“I didn’t have my priorities in
line off the field,” Long says, of
his Florida State days. “I needed
to take ownership of that.”
His lifelong dream was to play
baseball, be like his idol, Ken
Griffey Jr., play in the big leagues
and pitch at Fenway Park.
“I was immersed in baseball.
Didn’t play football until I was
17,” he says. “But right now I’m
where I want to be.”
Long says he would have loved
to play another season with the
Ducks, before hopefully joining
his brother in the NFL.
“Everybody could use another
year of preparation, especially
with this offense,” he says, adding that “I prepared for this to be
my last year.”
Dungy joined the Ducks as a
prep from Tampa, Fla., in 2010,
coincidentally shortly after the
time that Kelly had been leaning
on Tony Dungy for some advice
about what to do with enigmatic
running back LeGarrette Blount.
The younger Dungy, now a
sophomore,
worked his way
into playing
time on special
teams and receiver this season and last. He
envisions the
day when he
DUNGY could be one of
QB Marcus
Mariota’s primary targets,
and looks forward to the next
two seasons.
The
6-1,
180-pound
Dungy excels at
doing the right
LONG things on the
field, which include blocking as a receiver. He
had a great block on a
De’Anthony Thomas score in an
early-season game that was
called back because of a penalty.
“With De’Anthony, Kenjon
(Barner) and Marcus, you can
never assume that they’ll get
tackled, you have to hustle, and
(blocking) represents what it
means to be a receiver,” Dungy
says. “I’m blocking for them. ... It’s
fun to be out there, contributing

out there with your boys. I’m doing whatever they ask me to do.
It’s fun, especially home games.”
In the future?
“Yeah, I’m definitely working
hard every day and, if I keep getting better, I might get a chance
someday where, maybe I won’t
be the main guy, but one of the
guys” catching a lot of passes.
Dungy was born after Tony
Dungy played in the NFL, but he
certainly remembers much of
the coach’s glory days with the
Buccaneers and Colts.
Long was 5 years old when his
father retired from the Raiders.
“But I have seen film and
stuff,” Long says. “He played angry. He played within himself as
well. He worked his tail off.”
Both can lean on their fathers
for advice. Howie Long has been
to various Oregon games; Tony
Dungy also tries to attend games.
Eric Dungy says he and his
dad “don’t talk as much about
(football)” as they used to.
“High school we definitely
talked about it,” Eric says. “But
we talk about general ideas of
football, if I have a question; it’s
not like the dad on ‘Friday Night
Lights.’ I’ll ask him about the
theory of certain coverages, and
about dealing with certain players and teams, more of the managing side. There are so many
different people on the team, different characters and personalities.”
Kyle Long says his dad “just
tries to instill in me to take pride
in what you do. It’s all about effort. Just work hard and love
what you do.”
Long regularly talks with his
father, mother and two brothers.
What does NFL brother Chris
tell him about football?
“Just to take it all in,” Long
says. “You have to appreciate
where you are, the blessings you
have in life, the opportunities you
are given playing at a place like
Oregon. College doesn’t last forever, especially college football.”

That’s not trash talk. That’s a
fact.” — Golden State coach

what Michael Jordan used to
say to him when they faced
each other as players.
■ “His breath smelled like

the Celtics waived the 7-foot

■ It’s coming up — Kansas State (11-1) taking on Oregon (11-1)
in the Fiesta Bowl, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 3 (ESPN) at University of
Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
For the Ducks, it’ll be 39 days off between beating Oregon State
on Nov. 24 and meeting the Wildcats. And, for the first-year players
like redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota, it means almost a complete
year of preparation and play since the Ducks’ Jan. 2 Rose Bowl win
against Wisconsin.
I love the game, Mariota says, of the long stretch of football. I’m
glad to be here. There’s still a side of me that wants to go home and
hang out with the family.
But I’m just glad to be here. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I
get to spend this time of year with guys I’ve been around for a while.
It’s been a fun process.
■ Meanwhile, Mariota gets to finish off the Heisman Trophy trifecta
of meetings in the Fiesta Bowl. He has ties to fellow Hawaiian Manti
Te’o of Notre Dame and fellow redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel of
Texas A& M — Mariota played at the rival high school of the Irish star
linebacker, St. Louis High, and he met QB Manziel at an Oregon
camp before they both signed with their respective schools.
Then, in the Fiesta Bowl game and festivities, Mariota gets to meet
K-State quarterback Collin Klein, the third of the Heisman finalists. It
was Manziel, Te’o and Klein finishing 1-2-3 in Heisman voting.
It shows how small this world is, Mariota says. I’m very blessed
to eventually meet all three of them. I get to meet three Heisman
finalists, not a lot of people get to say that. I’m very blessed.
And, had he not stumbled against Stanford, Mariota might have
been right alongside the three of them as Heisman finalists.
■ Senior Rob Beard says there has been competition for placekicking duties in practice. Sophomore Alejandro Maldonado kicked
in the final four games, missing a key field goal against Stanford
along the way.
I’m hoping to kick field goals, and I should be getting a chance
to do that, says Beard, of the Fiesta Bowl. I don’t know if (coaches
are) saying it’s a competition, but I feel there should be one. I’m
hoping to get the job back. I envision myself doing the kicking
duties.
Says long snapper Jeff Palmer, of he and holder Jackson Rice and
either Beard or Maldonado: I don’t even know who the kicker is right
now. It’s been a competition this whole month. Whoever it comes
down to, I’m confident in them.
■ Former Duck Chris Harper leads Kansas State with 50 receptions,
excelling as a possession receiver as a senior.
It makes UO coach Chip Kelly kind of scratch his head. Kelly says
Harper left the Duck program after the 2008 season to play quarterback at a school close to home. He played close to home — Harper
is from Wichita, Kan. — but he stayed at receiver for K-State in
Manhattan, Kan.
I’m happy for him, Kelly says. He wanted to go home. He’s home.
He left here because he wanted to be a quarterback. We moved
him to receiver, and he wanted to be a quarterback. He said he was
going somewhere closer to home to play quarterback. Did I envision
him playing receiver (at K-State)? No. He could have played receiver
here.

Cascade Collegiate Conference
showdown starts at 7:30 p.m at
Bart Valentine Court.
Women’s basketball: The
Portland Pilots (4-7) get a crack at
the Oregon Ducks (2-8), noon at

an 0-8 start.
Kari Luttinen leads the Pilots in
points per game (12.7),
Cassandra Thompson is second in

ball center Michael Dunigan had a shortlived career at Oregon before
leaving the Ducks early to turn
pro, then didn’t stick in preseason with the Memphis Grizzlies. And he isn’t expected to
stick with the Perth Wildcats
— but not because he isn’t playing well Down Under.
On the contrary, Dunigan
has been a smash for the Australian team, averaging 16
points and 11 rebounds in three
games as an injury fill-in. The
Wildcats say they can’t afford
both players, so Dunigan soon
may be looking for either a
raise from another Aussie team
or another step up, somewhere
around the globe, in his development.

Kevin Love, the former Lake Oswego High star, is near the top of the

One of the highlights of Eric Dungy’s Oregon Ducks career came in a 2011 game against Missouri State, when he scored on a 22-yard touchdown
pass. Dungy has worked hard to establish his own identity, being the son of former NFL coach Tony Dungy.
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
EUGENE — Their common
bond has been the topic of
some mockingly funny moments, Oregon Ducks Kyle
Long and Eric Dungy say.
“I hate to make fun about reporters,” Long says. “But they
ask the same questions about
our dads. We give mock interviews with each other, give each
other a hard time.”
The Ducks have featured their
share of sons of NFL-types, including Casey Matthews, Jairus
Byrd and J.D. Nelson in recent
seasons, but two of the highestprofile in UO history play offensive line and receiver for the
team headed to Glendale, Ariz.,
for the Jan. 3 Fiesta Bowl against
Kansas State.
Long, a journalism major,
wants to be a sportswriter, and
Dungy, a sociology major, might
consider coaching. Both have
some family experience in those
realms.
Tony Dungy, Eric’s father,
coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts for
many years, and led the Colts to
the 2007 Super Bowl title. He also
played three seasons in the NFL,
winning the 1978 Super Bowl
with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Howie Long, Kyle’s father, enjoyed a 13-year, Hall-of-Fame career as a defensive lineman with
the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, winning one Super Bowl.
And Kyle’s brother, defensive
lineman Chris Long, plays for the
St. Louis Rams, after being selected No. 2 in the 2008 NFL draft.
On television, you can see the
Dungy and Long fathers serving
as studio analysts — Howie on
FOX, Tony on NBC. And, yes,
their sons at Oregon each watch-

permits.
It’s a story line that has followed, and will continue to follow
the younger Long and Dungy
throughout their careers and
lives.
Kyle Long has worked to be

and then returned to football to
play offensive line so as to not be

“He shouldn’t have been in

to pay for a point guard, so we
let him walk on.”
— On Parker after the exLaker guard fired back at him.

Let’s get to the rest of the
league, and some of the premier quotes in the year 2012:

COURTESY OF JESSE BEALS
Kyle Long, a University of Oregon offensive lineman with NFL ties, has
been a welcome addition to a unit that needed some reinforcements.
Eric Dungy used to be bothered by talk of his father, but now
he embraces it.
“I was trying to form my own
identity; I’d be annoyed by it,” he
says. “Now I’m confident in who I
am.”
Both have done their part in
Oregon’s 11-1 successful season.
The 6-7, 300-pound Long joined
the Ducks last summer. He
picked them over UCLA, Oregon
State, USC and some Southeastern Conference schools after
playing for Saddleback Community College (Mission Viejo, Calif.). Immediately, fellow Oregon
players saw what they had heard
about — the senior starter is
very big, as in NFL-big, and very
athletic.
And, he didn’t come in with a
big ego. He adjusted to Oregon’s
system and practices in training
camp — “hardest thing I’ve ever
done, mentally and physical” —
and earned playing time right
away.
Recruited as a tackle, Long
moved into the starting lineup at
left guard, ahead of Ryan Clanton, in the USC game. Long has
added physicality, size and attitude to an already good starting
O-line.
“I’m more comfortable at the
guard position,” he says. “I continue to progress. I take all the
coaching and constructive criticism from guys, like (injured Olineman) Carson York and Ryan
Clanton.”
Ducks coach Chip Kelly says
there isn’t much adjustment
needed to play tackle or guard,
but Long cites some differences.
“I would describe the guard
position as close-quarters combat,” Long says. “You’re right in
the mix of things. At tackle,
