They were
married on Nov. 20, 1943, in
Los Angeles, Calif.
Betty was beloved by her
large family and many friends.
She is survived by her daugh-
ters: Diane Elaine Harris and
her husband Jim, of Newburgh,
Ind.; and Jivan Joti Kaur
Khalsa and her husband Guru
Terath Singh of Espanola, N.
M.; seven grandchildren, 14
great-grandchildren, one great-
great-grandchild, and many
nieces, nephews and cousins.
Betty and Jim raised their
daughters in Culver City,
Calif., and then in North
Hollywood, Calif.
During her daughters’ form-
ative years, Betty was mostly a
stay-at-home Mom. Later, she
assisted at the Methodist
Church in North Hollywood
and then held a responsible
position with the Methodist
Headquarters in Pasadena,
Calif.
She was an active volunteer
for many years with the
American Cancer Society and
drove patients to their medical
appointments.
Upon Jim’s retirement from
AT&T, they moved to Stallion
Springs, Calif., where they had
their home built on the golf
course; they both were avid
golfers.
Betty and Jim were active in
getting the first Elks Lodge
established in Tehachapi and
they were very active in the
community. During this time,
Betty pursued her love of tap
dancing and became a member
of the “Boogie Woogie
Mamas” tap organization. This
group performed on cruises, at
retirement homes and for many
special events.
In 2000, Betty and Jim
moved to Florence and once
again established their home on
a golf course, at Ocean Dunes
Golf Links. This allowed them
to enjoy many wonderful golf-
ing days.
They became active mem-
bers of the New Life Lutheran
Church and both were devoted
to the Lord. Betty was also a
long-time PEO sister, a volun-
teer for Meals on Wheels, and
yes — active in her love of tap
dancing.
While living in Florence,
Betty taught tap at the local
Lane Community College and
in her home studio. She chore-
ographed tap routines and with
the ladies she taught, per-
formed at the Florence Events
Center, at local retirement
facilities and for special events.
We cannot forget the love
Betty had for her dog, Zinger
and Sandy. She took them on
many beach walks.
Both Betty and Jim dearly
loved the Florence community
and the beauty of the ocean and
its surroundings.
Betty’s life was one “well-
lived” in her faith and love for
her family and friends. She will
long be remembered and her
legacy will live proudly on in
memory of this wonderful lady.
A memorial service will be
held at the New Life Lutheran
Church (21st and Spruce
streets) on Saturday, Feb. 4, at
11 a.m. In lieu of flowers dona-
tions may be given in her mem-
ory to the New Life Lutheran
Church or to Peo Chapter DY.

IDFIT investigation finds officer-involved shooting lawful
This afternoon, District
Attorney
Patty
Perlow
announced that, following a
review of the investigation of
the Inter-Agency Deadly Force
Investigative Team (IDFIT)
relating to the officer-involved
shooting death of Robert
Martinez Jr., it has been deter-
mined that the incident was a
lawful use of deadly force.
On Monday, Jan. 15, at
approximately 4 p.m., deputies
with the Lane County Sheriff’s
Office were notified of a suspi-
cious vehicle at 559 Clairmont
Drive, an unincorporated area
of Lane County in Eugene.
Deputy Richard Smith, a
three-year veteran with the
Lane County Sheriff’s Office,
arrived in the area at approxi-
mately 4:48 p.m., and with the
assistance of a local area resi-
dent, observed a stolen vehicle
parked in the driveway of 559
Clairmont Dr.
Deputy Smith could not see
that the vehicle was occupied
when he arrived, and while
confirming the license plate of
the vehicle, both the driver,
Robert Martinez, Jr., and the
passenger, Miles Smith, exited
the vehicle. Deputy Smith gave
commands to both men to get
back in the vehicle, and then to
get on the ground, but neither
complied.
Deputy Smith then pointed
his taser at Martinez as the sus-
pect walked toward the front
door of 559 Clairmont Drive,
warning him that he would be
tased if he did not get on the
ground.
Rather than comply, Deputy
Smith reported — and video
surveillance captured from a
nearby residence confirmed —
that Martinez instead reached
toward his right jacket pocket
and produced a semi-automatic
handgun.
Witness statements, includ-
ing Miles Smith, confirmed
that Deputy Smith provided
audible warnings prior to using
his taser. Miles Smith also con-
firmed that Martinez was
reaching for what he believed
was a gun.
Deputy Smith deployed his
taser, which had no effect, prior
to transitioning to his handgun.
He then fired at Martinez until
Martinez went to the ground
and was no longer an immedi-
ate threat to the Deputy.
Deputy Smith reported that
Martinez was raising the gun
toward him when he shot at
Martinez, and believed he
would have been shot had he
not fired first.
The investigation showed
that Deputy Smith discharged
his taser at Martinez, but it was
not effective, as one probe
struck his sweatshirt and the
other did not make contact.
After additional units arrived
on-scene, Deputy Smith moved
Martinez to a position of cover.
The passenger had fled the
scene and his whereabouts
were unknown at that time.
Once in a position of cover,
responding officers from the
Eugene Police Department
took over providing care for
Martinez until medics from the
Santa Clara Fire Department
and Eugene/Springfield Fire
Department assumed care for
Martinez, eventually transport-
ing him to the hospital.
Martinez died a short time
later.
“During the entire incident,
Deputy Smith displayed a calm
demeanor that can be attributed
to his training and profession-
alism,” said Perlow. “The citi-
zens of Lane County can be
proud of the men and women in
law enforcement who respond
with courage to these danger-
ous events every day.
“We should be grateful as a
community that we have peo-
ple willing to serve us in this
way.”

Heather Dollman was
arraigned at the Florence
Judicial Center on nine counts
related to animal neglect
Wednesday morning.
Judge Rick Brissenden
presided over the arraignment,
during which Dollman pleaded
not guilty to all charges.
Brissenden said a date will
soon be set for her trial and
mailed to her home.
Lane
County
Animal
Services responded to reports
of neglect related to two horses
on Dollman’s property Dec.
21, 2017, resulting in a neglect
citation and assistance from
Oregon State Police in the
removal of the animals. At the
time, Dollman was cited on
two counts each for lack of
food in sufficient quality and
quantity; lack of necessary vet-
erinary care; and unsuitable
confinement.
D u r i n g We d n e s d a y ’s
arraignment, Brissenden also
addressed concerns that,
according to court records,
Dollman still owes $1,313
from
previous
fines.
Brissenden suggested that
Dollman make arrangements to
take care of the fines as soon as
possible.
Dollman explained that she
was attempting to relocate the
horses under her care to a more
