House passes bill
with money for
timber counties
GRANTS PASS (AP) —
The U.S. House has passed
a Medicare bill that includes
renewal of a program that
pays subsidies to timber
counties, especially in
Oregon.
The House voted 392-
37 on Thursday to pass the
bill that permanently blocks
physician Medicare cuts. It
now goes to the Senate.
Attached to the bill
is a two-year renewal of
the Secure Rural Schools
Program, which expired
last year amid partisan
disagreements.
That program paid
subsidies to rural timber
companies around the
country to make up for
declining federal timber
revenues from logging.
Timber harvests have been

Last year Oregon got
about $100 million of
the $500 million paid
nationwide.
Narcotics dog who
ingested meth
during search dies
TACOMA, Wash. (AP)
— Barney, the Tacoma
police narcotics dog that
became sick after ingesting
methamphetamine during a
drug investigation, has died.
The Olympian reports
that the 11-year-old
black Labrador mix died
Wednesday night.

to a veterinary hospital
on Tuesday after the dog

Narcotics dogs are trained
to alert their handlers to
drugs by placing their nose
on them. In this case, Barney
accidentally inhaled residue
from the meth.
Vets said Barney was
more responsive Wednesday
morning but he passed away
that evening.
Pierce County prosecutors
say they haven’t decided
whether they’ll amend
charges against the three
defendants to include
Barney’s death.
Panel dismisses

time in years, the Senate
Committee on Conduct
unanimously concluded
Thursday that Sen. Chip
Shields of Portland didn’t
violate Senate rules.
Shields asked state Rep.
Lew Frederick to introduce
a bill requiring the use of
biodegradable lubricants in
public construction projects.
Shields’ family owns a
company that makes such
lubricants.
Shields has withdrawn the
bill but told the disciplinary
committee that nearly all
lubricant makers have
biodegradable products, so
the legislation wouldn’t give
his company an advantage.

State agency hacked; governor calls for study, changes
SALEM (AP) — Ore-

that they plan to restruc-
ture information technolo-
gy functions after software
found an external third-par-
ty had gained access to a
state network.
Gov. Kate Brown said
in a statement that someone
gained access to so-called
metadata last week at the
'HSDUWPHQW RI $GPLQLVWUD-
tive Services, which handles
technology for much of state
government.
The hackers weren’t able
to access to any personal
identifying
information,
Brown said. But metadata,
such as the sizes of data and
the timestamps of messag-
es, were compromised, said
Kristen Grainger, Brown’s
spokeswoman. Metadata is
data about data.
“Although I have been
assured that no personally
identifying information was
compromised, this incident
causes me to have serious
concerns about the integrity
of state data,” Brown said.
Software detected an
intrusion into the agency’s
network, which happened
three days before it was de-
tected, Grainger said.
The state’s chief infor-
