Republicans, however, said that the bill needs more amendments. “I was under the impres- sion when the bill came over here that there was more work to be done. I don’t know, maybe that was the wrong impression,” Rep. Sherrie Sprenger, R-Scio, said. Rep. Greg Barreto, R-Cove, echoed that senti- ment. “With a bill like this, you ought to have everybody on board,” he said. “And to pass a bad bill to get it to WKHÀRRU,WKLQNWKHUH¶VEHHQ too many of those in recent years.” In a press release, Rosenblum praised the bill for prohibiting data-mining, unless the process is used for a legitimate educational purpose. “It’s scary to think we live in a world where data mining now starts as early as kindergarten. We must safeguard children’s data against inappropriate uses,” Rosenblum said in the release. Hiker slips off trail, hangs from cliff for 45 minutes PORTLAND (AP) — $SULO0HDGV¶¿UVWKLNHRIWKH season was almost her last. Her foot slipped while hiking with her sister Sunday at the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland. She fell off the trail and over the side of the cliff. Her options: Find something to hold or go into a 100-foot freefall. “As I slid down, there was one thought I had: ‘My life is about to end,”’ she wrote on her blog. The 19-year-old clutched a branch that broke and started to slide again.

Though she escaped her brush with death, she told The Oregonian it hasn’t escaped her dreams. “I’m waking up kicking my legs, thinking that I’m back on the cliff,” she said.

Jodi Hack, R-Salem, said before the bill’s passage. “My grave concern is about whether or not the software companies will actually be willing to work with the state of Oregon.” Democrats dismissed that argument, noting that SB 187 largely mirrors California’s landmark online student information protection law, which goes into effect in 2017. “We’re a market. We [may be] a moderate market, or a small market, but we’re a market, and we should be looking for the tools that will actually forward educa- tion,” Rep. Susan McClain, D-Hillsboro, said during the committee meeting. “I don’t see [the bill] taking any technology away. I don’t see it taking any tools away.” Industry lobbyists offered testimony both for and against the bill. One pro-pri- vacy group, Common Sense Media, rescinded its support after the bill was amended to allow the disclosure of students’ personal informa- tion for “school purposes.” “The amendments broadly permit service W c t s c t t s s s t s pc s s c c t s s s s s s pc s s s UV INDEX TODAY Bill restricting the sale of student data moves to House By ZANE SPARLING Capital Bureau Lo 54 50 54 56 52 50 56 57 62 54 51 54 46 63 51 55 60 61 62 59 53 57 64 49 58 68 63 Today Didn’t receive your paper?&DOO EHIRUHSP7XHVGD\WKURXJK)ULGD\ RUEHIRUHDP6DWXUGD\ for same-day redelivery Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group Hi 67 86 89 71 87 84 92 93 98 87 87 87 83 95 61 66 92 99 94 90 90 92 90 85 89 96 100 NNW 3-6 NNW 4-8 Subscriber services: For home delivery, vacation stops or delivery concerns: 1-800-522-0255 — Founded Oct. 16, 1875 — W s pc s s pc pc s s s pc pc pc pc pc s s pc s pc s s s pc pc s s s WINDS Boardman Pendleton REGIONAL FORECAST Lo 53 46 49 55 48 48 55 53 58 50 49 51 42 60 50 54 61 57 59 60 47 58 60 46 59 64 61 Today Shown is today’s weather.

(AP) — A bill giving more Oregon workers up to a week of paid sick leave is headed to the full House and Senate. Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee advanced the bill Friday, setting up a vote in the full Senate as soon as next week. If senators approve, a vote in the House would follow. The bill is a priority for Democratic leaders and labor unions. They say it would ensure people can recover from illnesses instead of going to work. The measure passed over strong objections from Republicans, who worry it will severely hurt small and agricultural businesses. Woman involved in animal neglect case back in custody SALEM (AP) — A Salem woman indicted on 48 counts of animal neglect last year is back in police custody. The Statesman Journal reports 26-year-old Alicia Inglish was arrested June 1 for violating her custody release agreement, which was associated with charges of identity theft and tampering with drug records from November 2013. Her bail has been set at $50,000. Inglish’s lawyer, Alicia Hercher, declined to comment on the case. A jury trial for the case has been scheduled for June 23. Inglish, who was president of Willamette Animal Rescue, was arrested in 2014 after deputies seized about 140 dogs from the facility. All the dogs were in need of some type of medical care. A separate jury trial is scheduled for July 7 for the animal neglect case. New WSU wine center named for Ste. Michelle Wine Estates RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The new Wine Science Center at Washington State University’s Tri-Cities campus will bear the name of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, the state’s largest wine maker. The name was announced as part of a dedication ceremony Thursday. The Tri-City Herald reports that Washington State also reached its goal of having the $23 million research and teaching center paid for in time for the grand opening. Ste. Michelle donated the remaining $500,000 needed for the long-awaited facility. Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.
