OSU scientists sequence
genome of beaver
Oregon man admits groping girl on flight
By Steven DuBois
Associated Press
EUGENE (AP) —
Scientists at Oregon State
University have sequenced
the beaver genome thanks to
a 2015 crowdfunding effort.
T h e R e g i s t e r- G u a rd
reports that the funding drive
raised $20,001 from 103
donors. OSU used the money
to pay for research on the
genetic code of its mascot
animal, the North American
beaver.
The project used a blood
sample from the 5-year-old
beaver, Filbert, who lives
at the Portland Zoo. OSU
researchers say they dis-
covered that beavers have
26,200 genes, or about 33
percent more inheritable
information that humans
have.
OSU says the project
was done in a spirit of fun
but could also lead to scien-
tific advances by providing
insights into beaver popula-
tions, diseases and evolution-
ary history.
Oregon jobless rate drops
to record low set in 1995
EUGENE (AP) —
Oregon’s average unemploy-
ment rate has fallen to match
a previous low record set in
the economic boom of the
mid-1990s.
T h e R e g i s t e r- G u a rd
reported Thursday that
according to the state
Employment Department,
Oregon’s unemployment
rate fell to 4.6 percent in
December, from 5 percent in
November. For 2016, Oregon
had an average rate of 4.9
percent, matching a previous
low set in 1995.
Between December
2015 and December 2016,
employers in Oregon added
52,900 jobs when season-
ally adjusted, an increase of
2.9 percent. The national job
growth rate is 1.5 percent.
The state’s fastest-grow-
ing industries in 2016 by per-
centage were construction,
which grew by 8.1 percent;
other services such as repair
and maintenance, which
grew by 4.8 percent; and
professional and business
services, which grew by 4.5
percent.
PORTLAND (AP) —
An Oregon man accused
of groping a 13-year-old
girl on a flight from Dallas
to Portland pleaded guilty
Thursday, accepting an
agreement with prosecutors
that will require him to reg-
ister as a sex offender for 15
years.
Chad Camp, 26, was
scheduled to be sentenced
May 3 with a recommenda-
tion for a 14-month prison
term and credit for time
already served, Assistant
U.S. Attorney Thomas
Edmonds said.
FBI agents arrested Camp
after his June flight landed
at Portland International
Airport. Authorities said an
American Airlines flight
attendant delivering snacks
early in the flight noticed
Camp’s hand in the girl’s
crotch area, and a tear fall-
ing down her face. The flight
attendant then separated the
two.
Camp, of Gresham,
pleaded guilty before U.S.
District Judge Michael
Mosman to making an inde-
cent sexual proposal to a
minor and assault with intent
to commit abusive sexual
contact of a minor.
Camp was returning to

Oregon after completing a
residential treatment for alco-
hol dependency in Florida.
A witness told police
Camp had at least four mixed
drinks during a layover in
Dallas.
In court Thursday, Camp
acknowledged having a
“large amount” of alcohol
before sitting next to the
girl.
“I invaded her space,
touching her in her thigh
and her groin area,” Camp
said. “I had inappropriate
conversations with her. My
words were fairly consid-
ered to be indecent. What
I did was wrong in all
respects.”
The girl was flying as
an unaccompanied minor,
and her family has filed a
$10 million lawsuit against
American Airlines.
