Mothers, fathers and families are
welcome to visit Oregon Division of
Child Support offices at Mall 205 in
Portland and in Oregon City and
Tigard on Saturday, June 18 from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. for help establishing
your child's paternity.
Establishing paternity is very im­
portant — this is about giving your
child access to all the benefits, infor­
mation and services they deserve.
Paternity is the act of establish­
ing a legal father for your child.
Usually, this is done at the hospital
at the time of birth. Some parents,
however, miss the hospital oppor­
tunity.
During the one day event. Divi­
sion of Child Support offices will
have staff available to answer ques­
tions, provide paternity establish­
ment paperwork and notary services,
and, may even be able to perform
free DNA testing on site.
Why Does Paternity M atter?
Establishing the biological father
provides a child access to important
family medical records; access to
medical, veterans, social security,
inheritance, and other benefits from
both parents: and the emotional
benefit of knowing who one's par­
ents are.

A Gresham man has been charged
with aggravated murder stemming from
a disturbance call last month to an apart­
ment in the 17700 block of East Burnside
in which police officers found a woman
in medical distress.
The woman, Barbara Nadine Smalley,
58, later died in the hospital from head
injuries.
At the time of the incident, police also
encountered John Coleman Hardaway
in the apartment, but no other people.
Hardaway was arrested at that time
on a parole detainer. As part of an ongo­
ing investigation he was charged in the
Smalley’s murder.

A 39-year-old man has been sen­
tenced to 40 years in prison for
taking a 15-year-old girl from Seattle
and forcing her to work as a prosti­
tute in Portland.
U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton
says the case sends a clear message
to others "engaged in this form of
modern-day slavery."
U.S. District Judge Michael
Mosman sentenced James Albert
Jackson on Friday in Portland after
Jackson earlier pleaded guilty to
one count of an indictment charg­
ing him with sex trafficking of a
minor through force.
In September 2008, the girl was
arrested for prostitution. Holton says
she agreed to accept help from police
out of fear Jackson would kill her.
