customers and law enforce-
ment to assist in their own
investigations of this matter,”
the company said.
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.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A
breach in a vendor’s system
that processes online sales of
hunting and ishing licenses
in Idaho, Oregon and Wash-
ington state exposed several
million records containing
buyers’ personal information,
oficials said Friday.
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

Pot plants on display at state fair a irst
The Oregon Liquor
Control Commission is in
the process of licensing
recreational
marijuana
in much the same way it
already controls the sale
and use of alcohol.
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.
