SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2017 OBITUARIES HARRY—Paul “Big Paul” Harry, 85, passed away peace- fully, sur- rounded by family, Jan. 20, 2017. Paul is a d i r e c t descendant of Jesse Applegate, an Oregon Paul Harry pioneer who surveyed and developed the “Applegate Trail” in 1846 as a southern route and branch of the Oregon Trail into Willamette Valley. Paul was born at home Nov. 5, 1931, in Yoncalla, Ore., to Violet and Hubert Harry. Paul’s father died when he was 13 years old. Paul worked on local farms for five years helping his mother support his seven brothers and two sisters. He joined the Navy in 1948 and served in the Korean War on the USS Essex. He married Bernetta Ann Drollinger in 1956. Together, they traveled to many logging camps before, in 1961, they settled in Deadwood, where Paul worked as a timber faller (lumberjack) for 35 years. Paul enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren’s sporting events, working in his garden, hunting, fishing and mushroom hunting. After retirement, Paul and Bernetta traveled throughout the United States, Europe and Korea, spending time with their grandchildren and bringing Oregon to the grandchildren when their parents were serv- ing in the US Army. He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Mapleton Lions Club. Paul is survived by his four children: Herbie (Kathy) Harry, Michael (Bev) Harry, Paula (Robert) Scherer, Dorman (Cheri) Harry; 11 grandchil- dren, 3 great-grandchildren and four siblings: Wayne (Leilani) Harry, Vernon (Kathy) Harry, Hannah Landers, and Hubert (Norma) Harry. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, sister Alice and brothers Leland, Joseph, Gene and David. A celebration of his life is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 11, at 1 p.m., at Mapleton Lions Club in Mapleton. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Paul Harry’s life.

BIRTH LCC offers free safety, self defense course Lane Community College Florence Center invites the community for a conversation about personal safety and awareness during a free semi- nar to be held Wednesday, Feb. 8. The free seminar includes workshops that cover the topics of sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and basic self defense from noon to 5 p.m. The classes are held sepa- rately throughout the day and will be taught by LCC public safety officers. Participants are welcome to take one or more classes being offered that day depending upon their personal schedule. “These classes are free and open to all community mem- bers — not just LCC students,” said Lt. Lisa Rupp of the LCC Public Safety Department. “We provide this training for free because we feel it is neces- sary for the community to join in the conversation about sexu- al assault and dating and domestic violence,” added Rupp, who explained that those who attend will receive infor- mation on prevention tech- niques, statistics and informa- tion on public safety response to various situations. “The seminar is designed to be useful to anyone concerned about the growing threat of per- sonal violence in our society,” said Russ Pierson, interim director of LCC Florence. “The three sessions are intended to offer real-world tools to help in three areas of personal safety: sexual assault and harassment; dating and domestic violence; and basic self defense. Anyone is wel- come to attend any combina- tion of these sessions,” Pierson said. From noon to 1 p.m., officers will discuss how to prevent sexual assaults and harassment, including what to do and not do if one is sexually assaulted and how and where to report inci- dents. From 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., the workshop will focus on dating and domestic violence aware- ness. In this class, participants will learn the warning signs ofabuse, what abuse is, making a plan to get away safely and available college and resources. The final three-hour class is from 2 to 5 p.m. and covers basic self-defense training. After simple warm-up exer- cises, participants will learn proper methods of performing a variety of strikes and escape techniques, as well as personal safety techniques to use in parking lots. The public safety officers will also be available to give examples of scenarios and answer personal safety ques- tions for participants. “LCC’s Public Safety Office includes a team of highly trained professionals commit- ted to serving the greater Lane Community College communi- ty — and that definitely includes Florence,” Pierson said. “This is a series of three trainings they offer occasional- ly in the metro area and we at the LCC Florence Center are really happy they have offered to bring these trainings to our community, too. “Sexual assault, domestic violence and harassment of all types are an unfortunate shad- ow that hangs over many of us these days, and these classes offer hope, help and tools that can make a real difference in our personal and communal safety.” The classes are free, though registration is required to help officers with their course plan- ning.
