Oregon committee delays vote on
gun background checks
SALEM (AP) — An Oregon Senate committee
is postponing a vote on a controversial bill requiring
background checks on all private gun sales between people
who aren’t related.
Sen. Floyd Prozanski, the chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, said Thursday he’s delaying the vote
because an amendment has been introduced. He says the
committee will now be voting on Monday.
The bill mandates all gun buyers and sellers who aren’t
close relatives to visit a licensed gun dealer who can run a
background check through the Oregon State Police.
The Republican-proposed amendment would remove
the background check requirements from the bill.

Shooter’s father released from custody
SEATTLE (AP) — The father of a high school student
who fatally shot four classmates and himself last fall was
allowed to be released from federal custody as long as he
follows strict conditions.
Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. was arrested Tuesday on a
federal charge that he was barred from possessing the gun

SALEM (AP) — Visitors and locals
lined up inside Portland International
Airport to have their photos taken with
an odd celebrity — a piece of nearly
30-year-old carpet.
By day’s end, more than 800 photo
booth-style pictures were snapped of
people standing next to the segment of
ÀRRU FRYHULQJ KXQJ XS IRU DQ HYHQW
called PDX Carpet Fest.
It was classic Portland, a city known
for keeping it weird: a farewell party for
the airport’s trademark teal carpet, which
is being replaced after three decades un-
der travelers and luggage wheels.
“I guess this carpet is really iconic,
and I can’t imagine another city getting
this worked up over carpet,” said Sierra
Prior, a Portland resident who posed for
photos before boarding her plane to New
Orleans.
The unmistakably ‘80s carpet at the
airport known as PDX is decorated with
dark-blue lines and red, lavender and
purple dots — a design meant to symbol-
Some local companies started selling
T-shirts, coffee mugs and other products

“I’m getting married on November

my groomsmen wear the PDX carpet
socks,” said Derek Harguth, a Portland
native who went to the airport to check
out the PDX Carpet Fest.
