OBITUARIES
Paul Christian Bolliger
April 14, 1943 — Nov. 27, 2016
Paul was with his family when he passed peacefully
from this life.
Originally from Basel, Switzerland, he came to the
U.S. in 1964 to make good use of his train-
ing as a machinist. He and his former
wife, Ilse Bolliger, raised their children,
Andy and Caroline, in Salem.
Paul eventually moved to Silverton
and has been a longstanding member of
the Silverton community by way of his
work as a machinist, designer and build-
er of farm machinery and later as a metal sculptor.
Some of his other passions in life were fly fishing, gyp-
sy music, philosophy, engineering, cooking and teach-
ing himself new ways to approach metal fabrication
and creating metal sculptures. Those who knew Paul
describe him as creative, a perfectionist, kind, funny,
stubborn, intelligent, compassionate, a problem-solver
and a deep thinker.
He is preceded in death by his son, Andy Bolliger. He
is survived by his sister, Mirjam Grundmann, of Swit-
zerland; his daughter, Caroline Petersen of Seattle; and
his grandson, Daniel Bolliger of Seattle.
A special thanks to the caregivers and friends who
took such good care of Paul and made sure he was sur-
rounded by friendly faces during his last days. Paul will
be deeply missed and we will remember him with great
fondness and love.
A celebration of his life was held Dec. 1, 2016.

James “Jim” Frederick Cartwright
Feb. 12, 1938 — Nov. 30, 2016
James “Jim” Frederick Cartwright, 78, of Mt. Angel,
died on Nov. 30, 2016, after a long battle with kidney dis-
ease. He remained a jokester up to his final days, and he
was able to spend Thanksgiving in good
spirits, surrounded by family.
Jim was born in Renton, Washington,
to Clifford and Rosella Cartwright. He
split the first half of his life between the
Seattle area, where he attended O’Dea
Catholic High School, and the Long
Beach Peninsula, where he cultivated his
expertise as a commercial fisherman.
After meeting his wife Julie, he moved with her to
Oregon and settled in Mt. Angel, where he worked as a
mechanic at the local Pepsi bottling plant. He also per-
fected the exclamation, “Strike Three!” through years
of dedicated service as an umpire.
Jim was a master craftsman and a tireless handy-
man. He loved to fish and hunt.
Jim is survived by his wife of 36 years, Julie; their
son Joseph; his four older children James, Debra, Lin-
da, and David; seven grandchildren; and four great
grandchildren. He was father to Karen (d. 1961) and

Mary Elizabeth “Libby” Swain Senecal, born Nov. 21,
1917, passed away on Nov. 27, 2016. She was our champi-
on, our mother, our grandmother, our sister, our aunt.
She was born and raised in Dallas,
Texas. She graduated from Ursuline
Academy in Dallas and attended Incar-
nate Word College in San Antonio. Libby
grew up during the Depression in an ex-
tended family and told many stories of
the profoundly loving and spiritually
powerful family members that sur-
rounded her as she was growing up encompassing a
time that stretched from the Civil War through the De-
pression, and on beyond WWII.
She later moved to San Diego, California. It was here
that she met and married her lifetime love, Paul Sene-
cal. They resided there for 30 years. They made two
cross country moves after this, living in Ohio and then
coming to Oregon — first living in Salem and then mov-
ing to Mt Angel. They were members of St Joseph’s
Catholic Church and of Mt Angel Towers community.
Libby is predeceased by her husband, Paul, and is
survived by her son, Matt (Michelle) Senecal; grand-
children Aaron, Marie-Therese and Joel; her younger
sister, Hibernia Ann; nieces Patricia, Theresa, Cecelia;
and nephews Chris and Barry.

Bullying
Continued from Page 1A
an education support specialist, who shared ways to
foster respectful student dialogue.
“Often teachers can sense the tension, but they real-
ly don’t know how to handle the conversations among
students,” Lieuallen said.
“There’s going to be a difference of opinion among
students – there actually should be a difference – but
kids need to be respectful,” said Board Chair Wally
Lierman. “They need to learn how to respond respect-
fully and get their point across and moved on and not
have a degrading discussion.”
Silverton High’s unique advisory group system –
where each student is matched with an adult-led group
that meets together for all four years of his or her time
on campus – is another place where discussions will oc-
cur, Bellando said. Advisers have been given at least
one lesson on the topic of respect and cultural sensitiv-
ity.
Longer-term goals proposals include forming a stu-
dent panel that would report to teachers on cultural is-
sues on campus and possibly adopting curricula with
stronger multi-racial elements.
Perhaps farthest on the horizon is the idea of hiring
more diverse staff in Silver Falls schools. In discussion,
board members generally agreed it’s time to actively
recruit teachers and classified staff members who bet-
ter reflect the student body’s ethnic makeup.
The district’s most recent state report card showed
staff members are 92-99 percent white, while the stu-
dent body is only 80-81percent white. Between 14 and 16
percent of Silver Falls students are Hispanic or Latino,
while only 1-4 percent of schools’ staffs are.
It’s not easy competing for multiracial candidates
with districts such as Salem/Keizer and Woodburn, who
offer financial incentives, said Asst. Supt. Dandy Ste-
vens adding, “We are in a teaching shortage, and we
have not even begun to see what that looks like.”
Among other reasons to seek a multi-ethnic staff,
board members recently wondered aloud whether stu-
dents would feel safer reporting harassment problems
to staff whose ethnicities more closely mirrors their
own.
“It could be easier for kid who are having problems
with racial harassment to speak with someone who’s
been there,” board member Tom Bucholz said.
The district’s on-hand data shows Silverton High is
average or below the state when it comes to racial ha-
rassment. But data is just “a snapshot in time” and
doesn’t always reflect reality, especially if students
aren’t reporting problems, Bellando cautioned.
Until this November, Silverton High had no reports
of racial harassment on record over the last four years.
General bullying and harassment referrals have been
20 or less per year.
Another measure is the Student Wellness Survey,
taken by all Oregon students in the 9th and 11th grades.
A month before the election, 9.8 percent of Silverton’s
11th graders reported being “harassed at school, on a
school bus, or going to and from school because of
(their) race or ethnic origin” in the last 30 days. The
state average is similar, at 9.7 percent.
Bellando said staff will likely do more surveys as
they try to find the best path forward: “We’re continu-
ing to drill down deeper and look at this.”

“Trump won. Accept it, shut up about it, and let’s
move on. These delusional anti-Trump people are a
disgrace to America. He is your president too.”
Another post brought to the board’s attention was
White’s response to a post made by Silverton resi-
dent and writer Naseem Rakha about the racial ha-
rassment that occurred at Silverton High School on
Election Day.
“Naseem is what’s
wrong with America,”
“We all have the

ger to be offended that

SILVER FALLS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
board
members,
which includes the fol-
lowing statement: “Board members will treat fellow
board members, staff, students and the public with
respect while posting …..”
Nealon asked the board’s other six members to
censure him – a somewhat ceremonial gesture – and
also called on him to resign.
“Our board member Todd White demonstrates
neither the leadership skills nor temperament our
students should aspire too,” she said.
At the board’s Nov. 28 work session, White de-
fended his posts, saying he was arguing his political
positions, not attacking specific people. He noted
that the Silverton Community Rejects page is head-
ed with the statement, “By liking this page, you for-
feit your rights to complain about its posts.”
“I don’t agree with it (White’s online behavior),
but it has nothing to do with school stuff,” board
member Tom Bucholz said. “Bullying is where you
pick on somebody on the school bus. You’ve got to be
there. You don’t have to go on Silverton Community
Rejects.”
School board chairman Wally Lierman and mem-
bers Tim Roth, Aaron Koch and Ervin Stadeli all
seemed willing to move ahead with formal censure
of White, while members Ron Valoff and Bucholz
were opposed to taking that step yet.
“Whether you like it or not, board members are
held to a higher standard. We all are,” Roth said.
“You insult people and attack people. It’s a liability to
the district.”
Valoff urged White to consider how his posts are
being perceived online. “At times you lack the self-
control required of a board member,” he said.
“We all have the right to say what we want, but we
have to deal with the consequences for what was
said,” added Koch.
By the end of the meeting, no action was taken,
although the board asked Superintendent Andy Bel-
lando to bring more information about other board
censures to the December board meeting.
“It’s like a beehive in a tree, and you keep going up
there and poking it and getting stung,” Stadeli said.
“And we all keep getting stung.”
White is not the only elected official embroiled in
controversy over post-election Facebook activity.
Salem City Councilor Daniel Benjamin resigned
from the council and lost his job after he posted a
video online that showed cars plowing into African-
Americans with a caption written by someone else
that said, "As this video shows people are starting to
get tired of the BlackLivesMatter bullies blocking
the roadways."
A Salem Police Department officer and Marion
County Sheriff’s Office deputy are being investigat-
ed by their respective agencies after a Chicago
woman complained about their political postings on
her Facebook page.
