Judge: Brianna will be buried next to her older sister in Portland
Continued from Page 1A
examiners found no signs of
foul play. Hoover said it was
likely Judge died within hours
of going missing and that she
could have entered the river
willingly or by accident.
From her apartment on
Elderberry Road to the bridge,
Judge, 23, would have walked
a little more than 4 miles.
Why the boots turned up
on the bridge, which stands
about 20 to 30 feet above the
Nehalem River below, is also
unknown.
With temperatures at or
below freezing and snow
beginning to fall that evening,
it’s unlikely Judge ventured
far beyond the bridge with-
out wearing the boots, Joyce
Judge, her mother, said.
“I can’t see her untying
those boots,” Joyce Judge
said. “I cannot picture her
jumping over that bridge.”
A shy, sweet person
Brianna Judge was born
and raised in Gresham until
December 2009, when she
and her mother moved to
Beaverton.
A shy, sweet person who
was not fond of crowds, Bri-
anna enjoyed reading, play-
ing video games and cook-
ing, Joyce Judge said. She
frequented a video game
store at Cedar Hills Crossing
shopping mall in Beaverton.
There, she met a worker at the
store named Kevin Ellisor.
“She had such a huge crush
on him,” Joyce Judge said.
The two dated for about
six months and moved to
Elsie when Brianna was 19.
She never enjoyed living
near a large city like Port-
land, so moving to rural Clat-
sop County was a welcome
switch. Brianna worked at
Camp 18 restaurant and
Elderberry Inn in Seaside as
she and Kevin gradually set-
tled in to their new home.
“She loved it out there,”
Joyce Judge said. “She
enjoyed the life that him
and her were making for
each other.”
Joyce Judge was mar-
ried to Brianna’s father in
Gresham for more than 21
years. But after he was laid
off from his job in 2002, she
said the marriage gradually
declined. When they would
fight, one of them usually
would step outside to let ten-
sions ease, Joyce Judge said.
Finally, Brianna gave her
mother a call. “She told me,
“Mom, you need to make a
decision now,’” Joyce Judge
said.
They moved to Beaverton
shortly after the conversation.
After Brianna and Kevin
fought on Jan. 10, she called
her mother to ask what she
used to do when she would
fight with her father. Joyce
Judge advised her daughter
to leave the house and air her
feelings out before the fight
escalated.
“I don’t know if that was
the best advice to have given
her,” Joyce Judge said.
Joyce Judge did not find
out about Brianna’s disap-
pearance for three days, when
Kevin called her. She said
she does not blame Kevin
for what happened to her
daughter.
“He’s not a bad person,”
Joyce said. “He had to put
close to 3,000 miles on his car
looking for her.”
Brianna’s family has cre-
ated a GoFundMe page ask-
ing for $5,000 in donations
to help offset the costs of a
memorial. She will be buried
in Portland next to her older
sister, Allison, who died in
1999 when she was 9 years
old.
Finding closure
To find closure, Joyce
Judge will need to figure out
exactly what happened on her
daughter’s long walk on Jan.
10. But Brianna is the only
person who could have fully
answered that question, Joyce
Judge said.
“I’d rather she just walk up
to my door and say, ‘Mommy,
I’m home.’”
Competition, demographics concern Oregon Lottery director
Biggest problem

The Oregonian/OregonLive
new customers.
“Any future growth is
going to have to come from
new product offerings,” he
said. “It’s not just about bring-
ing in more retailers, or being
able to tap players for our cur-
rent product offerings.”
But Rep. Cliff Bentz,
R-Ontario, worried that video
lottery, which brings in 70 per-
cent of the state’s lottery rev-
enue, amounts to a regressive
tax.
According to data pre-
sented by Pack, 43 percent
of percent of the state’s new
video lottery players make less
than $40,000 a year, compared
to 33 percent for Oregon adults
overall.
“It looks as though we can
anticipate if we continue this
effort (video lottery), we’ll
consistently be taking half of
lottery from people that are
under $40,000 income,” he
said.
PORTLAND — One of
Oregon’s critical revenue
sources, the Oregon Lottery,
could be in jeopardy.
Aging players, increasing
competition from tribe-oper-
ated casinos and a shrinking
retail base threaten to cut into
revenue the state budget counts
on, lottery director Barry Pack
told the House Revenue Com-
mittee Tuesday.
The lottery, with over 3,900
retailers statewide, is projected
to contribute nearly $1.2 bil-
lion to state coffers this bien-
nium. About half of that
goes to education, according
to Pack’s presentation. The
rest would pay for economic
development, parks and nat-
ural resources, and gambling
addiction treatment.
Lottery sales took a hit
2007, when lawmakers passed
a bill to ban smoking in
bars, and the recession dealt
it another blow, Pack said.
Though sales have begun to
recover, they haven’t returned
to pre-recession levels.
The biggest problem facing
the state’s lottery, Pack said,
is one facing lottery programs
throughout the nation: The
players are getting older, and
young people aren’t as inter-
ested as lottery officials would
like.
“They’re looking for skill-
based games, they’re look-
ing to play on their mobile
devices,” Pack said. “So I
think one of the future revenue
risks is how do we stay current
with the player base, and how
do we reach out across broader
demographics to attract a dif-
ferent set of players than may
be playing now?”
Between the state lot-
tery and tribal casinos, Ore-
gon has reached market satu-
ration in terms of gambling,
Pack said. And instead of ask-
ing current players to play
more, the state is hoping to
develop new games to lure in

Op
to uncertainty for the state lot-
tery. “We just don’t know what’s
going to happen,” Pack said.
Rep. Greg Smith, R-Hep-
pner, asked the director to look
into the effects of decreasing
the amount the lottery pays to
players.
On average, video lottery
games pay out as much as
94 percent of the time, Pack
explained. Smith wondered
how a decrease in this rate —
maybe a decrease of 1 percent-
age point for a two-year period
— would affect the lottery.
“During times of budget
shortfall, what if you went
from optimal to an ‘A’ perfor-
mance?” he asked.
Pack said he wasn’t sure,
but warned that a decrease in
payouts could hurt sales.
“We exist in a competitive
marketplace,” he said. “So if
we’re paying out more or less
than our competitors, there’s
an impact to be felt.”

Competition
Meanwhile, the compe-
tition, especially from tribal
casinos, is getting stiffer. Pack
said the state expects lottery
sales to drop $100 million a
year when the Ilani Resort near
La Center opens this spring.
A proposed casino in Jack-
son County and a potential
Grand Ronde entertainment
center in Wood Village could
also cut into the state’s earn-
ings, he said.
Gentrification in the Port-
land area also poses challenges
for the lottery: As older, spa-
cious neighborhood bars are
sold and torn down to make
room for mixed-use develop-
ments, the bars and pubs that
replace them have less room
for the games, Pack said.
While the Oregon Lottery
is losing retailers in Portland’s
urban core, some are moving
to the suburbs, he said.
All of these factors contribute
