were treated for smoke inhalation at the nearby Legacy Meridian
Park Hospital.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A man and his dog are injured after an
overnight house fire in Portland. Police told firefighters the man
may have re-entered his burning home to rescue his pet. Portland

with burns to his hands and arms. He was taken to the Legacy Oregon
Burn Center. The dog was treated by firefighters with a pet-oxygen
mask.

legislation requiring university employees and coaches, as well as
youth-organization workers, to report child sexual abuse to police
or the state Department of Human Services. The Senate unanimously
