In Idaho and Oregon, state ofices and certain businesses will keep selling hunting and ishing licenses because they use a different system. About 80 percent of sales occur in person at those sites, oficials said. “Until we understand the full scope of this, we’re going to keep the online component of this down and will do so until we have some clear answers,” Idaho Fish and Game spokesman Mike Keckler said. While Washington oficials said personal infor- mation was exposed, initial investigations in Oregon have not found identiiable infor- mation was revealed, said Rick Hargrave, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Still, “the prudent thing to do was to shut down systems to make sure there is no vulnerability,” he said. Washington state opted to halt all sales, including at businesses. Through Tuesday, it will not require anglers to have a ishing license to ish or gather shellish. “We are as frustrated as our customers over the licensing system being shut down, but we want to make sure anglers can still hit the waters over the next several days,” Jim Unsworth, director of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, said in a statement. California also uses Active Network to sell hunting and ishing licenses but deter- mined it is not affected after talking with the company, said Clark Blanchard, spokesman for California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “We use the same vendor, but our system employs completely different tech- nology and uses more strin- gent security,” he said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI are investigating the hack into Dallas-based Active Network, the Washington State Ofice of Cyber Security said in a statement. Washington halted all sales earlier this week, allowing anglers to ish license-free, while Idaho and Oregon have stopped only online sales. “Initial assessments indicate personal informa- tion exposed by the vendor for Washington residents includes names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth and the last four digits of Social Security numbers,” Washington ofi- cials said in a statement. Active Network, whose event and activity manage- ment software is used by tens of thousands of event orga- nizers nationwide, including marathons and other races, said the potential threat was isolated to ishing and hunting licensing systems in the three states. The company “became aware that we were the victim of an unauthorized and unlawful attempt to access” those systems on Monday, a statement said. It didn’t say whether the hacking attempt was successful but that the company released a software update to address the threat within 15 hours and hired a cybersecurity irm to conduct a review. Active Network said it didn’t receive reports or ind evidence that personal infor- mation was compromised. “We are committed to working with our state W r s s pc s s s s pc s s s s s r pc s pc s pc s s pc s pc pc pc WINDS Medford 97/58 PRECIPITATION Sunrise today Sunset tonight Moonrise today Moonset today New First Albany 84/55 Eugene 86/52 TEMPERATURE 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Month to date Normal month to date Year to date Last year to date Normal year to date 84° 56° Spokane Wenatchee 85/56 85/60 Tacoma Moses 73/51 Lake Pullman Aberdeen Olympia Yakima 90/55 86/54 64/54 71/51 89/58 Longview Kennewick Walla Walla 74/55 91/65 Lewiston 95/62 Astoria 93/65 67/55 Portland Enterprise Hermiston 83/59 Pendleton 86/52 The Dalles 93/63 91/60 89/62 La Grande Salem 90/52 84/56 Corvallis 83/53 HERMISTON Yesterday Normals Records 86° 57° Seattle 73/56 ALMANAC Yesterday Normals Records 94° 62° Hi 67 89 86 62 89 86 86 90 93 92 86 90 87 97 60 63 93 93 91 83 89 84 85 86 82 91 89 Astoria Baker City Bend Brookings Burns Enterprise Eugene Heppner Hermiston John Day Klamath Falls La Grande Meacham Medford Newport North Bend Ontario Pasco Pendleton Portland Redmond Salem Spokane Ukiah Vancouver Walla Walla Yakima Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Oregon State Fair spokesman Dan Cox says the fair must adapt to changing cultural and soci- etal values and allowing the display is one part of that shift. By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press SALEM — Living marijuana plants went on display Friday at the Oregon State Fair and organizers say it’s the irst state fair in the nation to allow cannabis for public viewing. Oregon voted to legalize recreational mari- juana in late 2014. Here are a few things to know about recreational marijuana in Oregon and about the display at the Oregon State Fair. What’s the buzz? The Oregon State Fair allowed a display about marijuana — but without any living plants — last year at the fair and it gener- ated no complaints, so this year the organization took the next step and agreed to let marijuana growers display live plants on fair grounds. The Oregon Cannabis Business Council, which is sponsoring the display, says it’s the irst time living pot plants have been open for public viewing at any state fair nationwide. The council is renting space in a state fair exhibit hall for its tent and selected nine plants for the display at an industry event two weeks ago. A cash crop AP Photo/Gillian Flaccus In this Friday photo in Salem Billy Jean Clay, left and Roxanne Hunt, of Silverton look at marijuana plants at the Oregon State Fair during the irst day of an ex- hibit of living pot plants. Will fairgoers be geting high? Can anyone see the plants? No. While the tent holding the display smells strongly of weed, fair authorities are only allowing immature plants — that is, pot plants without lowers. Marijuana leaves are much less potent then the lowers, or buds, and it’s not yet legal to transport lowering plants within the state anyway. Donald Morse, director of the Oregon Cannabis Business Council, said his group hopes to get permis- sion to display lowering pot plants next year, but the details aren’t inalized. No. The exhibit is in a translucent tent and both the entrance and exit are monitored. Anyone entering must present identiication proving they are age 21 and over. Oregonians voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2014 and the state allowed the sale of marijuana “edibles,” such as pot-infused candies and confections, earlier this year. This week, the state said it had processed $25.5 million in taxes on recre- ational marijuana since January 2016. Anticipated state revenue from recreational marijuana through June 2017 was recently quadru- pled by Oregon’s Legis- lative Revenue Ofice, from $8.4 million to $35 million. Aren’t state fairs for giant pumpkins, pigs and apple pie? But it’s illegal, The way people think about marijuana in Oregon right? is changing and recreational grow sites are recognized under state law as farm crops. Recreational marijuana is still illegal in 46 states and is banned by the federal government.
