News brief
Million Meals event to raise
money for hunger relief
Future advocates, public defend
ers and personal-injury attorneys
can use their feet to help fight
hunger Saturday at the second-an
nual Million Meals Walk & Run at
Alton Baker Park for Food For Lane
County.
The local food bank will use the
event to raise funds to help allevi
ate hunger and increase awareness
of the growing hunger problem in
Oregon.
“We want it to be a fun day,” said
Angela Severson, event coordinator
for Food For Lane County. “We also
want people to come out and sup
port hunger relief in the area.”
The day will feature a one-mile
family walk, a five-kilometer walk
and run, and a 10-kilometer run.
Registration is from 7 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. After the event, Zambuko
Marimba will perform, and Evelyn
Roth Festival Arts will provide sto
rytelling and other activities for
children.
Severson said the food bank
hopes to raise $15,000 during the
day.
In a report released Thursday,
The Center for Poverty and Hunger
named Oregon the state with the
highest amount of hunger — the
uneasy or painful sensation caused
by a lack of food — and the third
highest amount of food insecurity
— when access is limited to nutri
tionally adequate and safe foods.
Researchers found more than 14
percent of Oregon’s households are
food insecure, and 6 percent of the
state’s households are hungry.
“There are a lot of stereotypes on
the reasons people go hungry,” Sev
erson said. “It’s important to know
that in this economy, any one of us
could need assistance.”

Scrimmage

Amid the mishaps, however,
Oregon’s quarterback situation
seemed to take shape.
Jason Fife emerged yet again as
the favorite after completing 8 of 17
passes for 122 yards. The four other
quarterbacks vying for time this
season threw for only 64 yards on a
combined 5-for-20 performance.
Fife’s arm wasn’t the only thing
that impressed Bellotti, however.
“I like Jason Fife’s escapability,”
Bellotti said. “He made some plays.
I thought he was the victim of a
couple of significant drops, unfor
tunately. But overall, (he) operated
the offense well.”
After shaking off some early
butterflies, Fife appeared comfort
able in the pocket and threw the
ball crisply.
“I got a little worked up there at
the beginning,” Fife said. “It took me
a series or two to get rid of the jitters
and start playing football again.”
Bellotti said Fife is still No. 1 on
the depth chart, followed by Kellen
Clemens and Scott Vossmeyer.
Clemens, who was intercepted
once, finished the game 0-for-5.
Aside from evaluating the Ducks’
overall productivity, Bellotti said
he hoped to use the scrimmage as a
measuring stick for individual per
formances. Established players
such as tailback Onterrio Smith
and cornerback Steven Moore
played sparingly, allowing others to
receive attention.
Freshman tailback Terrence
Whitehead relished the moment as
the Ducks’ leading rusher. White
head showed crafty moves and ex
plosive quickness Saturday as he
amassed 88 yards on 10 carries.
“Terrence Whitehead, obviously,
was a bright spot,” Bellotti said.
“He ran with authority, and he did
some good things. I’m pleased.”
And while Bellotti may not be
ecstatic about his team’s perform
ance, the scrimmage proved to be a
necessary step in gauging where
Oregon stands. With the Aug. 31
season opener against Mississippi
State quickly approaching, the
Ducks still have time to hone their
skills and work out any kinks.
“We haven’t quite clicked com
pletely yet,” Fife said. “It’ll happen
in the next two weeks, guaranteed.”
