Obama Call Out to Fathers Battle of
(AP) -- Striking a deeply per­
sonal tone, President Barack
Obama urged fathers to play an
active role in their children's lives,
and lamented the time he had to
spend away from his own daugh­
ters as he built his political career.
Speaking at a Father's Day event
in Washington, Obama said, "I
know I've missed out on moments
in my daughters' lives that I'll never
get back."
The president outlined a series
o f plans to fund local projects that
help train men for jobs, prevent
domestic violence and take other
steps to encourage healthy and lov­
ing families.
"Our children don't need us to be
super heroes. They don't need us to
be perfect," Obama said. "They need
us to show up and give it our best
shot, no matter what else is going
on in our lives."

Kills Two
A 17-year-old male has been arrested
and charged with m urder in connection
w ith the shooting death o f another teen­
ager on M onday night across from the
Boys & G irls Club in the New Colum bia
district o f the Portsm outh neighborhood.
Initially the deceased was thought to
be an adult male, but later was identified as
Billy A. M oore, 17. Detectives believe that
this hom icide occurred after an argum ent
on a bus and was gang-related.
Four days earlier, officers responded to
the shooting o f a 16-year-old boy near the
area where M oore had been m urdered.

Portland Police Information Officer De­

shootings might also indicate a growing
