Willis Lynn Gholston, 93,
passed away Dec. 28, 2014, at
The Oregon Veterans’ Home
in The Dalles, Ore.
Services

S t r e e t
Mosier, Ore-
gon 97040),
with a lun-
cheon to fol-

M o s i e r
Grange.
Willis was
Willis
born July 8,
Gholston
1921,
in
Miller, Mo., to Martin Oliver
and Daisy Pearl (Snyder)
Gholston, but moved with
his family in his youth to
Mosier, Ore. He graduated
from Mosier High School and
attended Pacific University
in Newberg, Ore. (which is
now known as George Fox
University).
Willis enlisted and served
our country proudly during
World War II in the United
States Coast Guard and later
in the United States Navy.
After his honorable dis-
charge he returned to Mosier
and married Margie Carrie
Camp on Oct. 2, 1947.
Willis and Margie worked
together at the Mosier Post
Office, where he served as
postmaster from 1948 to 1978.
After retirement he contin-
ued volunteering in numer-
ous community organiza-
tions,
including
the
Chenowith School District
Board and hunter’s safety
classes. He enjoyed hunting,
fishing, traveling, attending
high school sporting events,
hiking, camping and spend-
ing time with friends and
family.
The Gholstons’ passion
was volunteering in their
community. They were in-
strumental in organizing the
Mosier Meal Site and Senior
Center. Willis’ memberships
included the Elks Lodge,
Lions Club, American Le-
gion, Mosier Grange, Mosier
Christian Church and
Mosier Seniors.
In a Feb. 16, 2000, Cascade
Weekly article Willis said it
best in regards to his volun-
teerism: “I had so much plea-
sure in meeting the people
and giving them the service I
could,” adding that he al-
ways enjoys going the extra
mile for people and “I’ve
been interested in people all
my life.”
Willis is survived and will
be dearly missed by three
daughters: Jeanne Reeves
(Bill), of Mosier, Marilynn
Shaw (John), of Mosier and
Molli Gholston, of Beaver-
ton; son-in-law, Bob Hager of
Grants Pass; three grand-
children: Todd Reeves (Be-
lenda), Carrie Reeves (Rob
Siegle) and Kevin Hager
(Teresa); five great-grand-
daughters, Savannah Reeves,
Maren Siegle, Maggie Siegle,
Abigail Hager and Allison
Hager.
He was preceded in death
by daughter Marlene Hager
in 2003 and wife Margie in
2013.
Memorials are encouraged
to be made in Willis’ name to
American Cancer Society,
Guide Dogs for the Blind or
the charity of your choice.

It’s the new year with new begin-
nings. But that doesn’t mean old
scams won’t be back to target con-
sumers. That’s why Better Business
Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon
and Western Washington has put
together the Top 10 Scams of 2014
so consumers can be aware and bet-
ter protect themselves in 2015.
10. Vishing and Phishing
Scammers use telephone calls
and emails to try to obtain a con-
sumer’s personal infor mation.
Their goal is to steal identities to
commit fraud.
9. BBB impersonators
Even BBB is not immune to
scams. In 2014, BBB’s DuPont office
received 24 reports of fraudsters
posing as the agency. Consumers
can check the legitimacy of an
email or phone call by contacting
BBB directly.
On Jan. 10, the Western
Antique Aeroplane & Auto-
mobile Museum will host
two talks about the history
of the air beacons — an in-
tegral part of early avia-
tion.

7. Phony loans
Consumers fall victim to companies
that claim to help them get out of debt.
The company asks them to send
money on a prepaid card, but never de-
livers on the services it promised.
6. Computer and Microsoft
Scammers tell consumers their
computers have been hacked and they
need to gain access in order to fix it.
The scammers end up downloading

tion.
5. Lottery and sweepstakes

Consumers receive threatening

notify debtors via mail.

Supply” invoices
payment but never receive any sup-
plies.
2. Ebola “cure”
Scam artists prey on the public’s
fear of Ebola and claim that they have
a cure or magic potion that can pre-
vent the disease. The FDA says there
are no approved vaccines or drugs to
prevent or treat Ebola.
1. Russian hackers
In August, the New York Times re-
ported that a Russian crime ring
amassed the largest known collection
of stolen Internet credentials, includ-
ing 1.2 billion username and password
combinations and more than 500 mil-
lion email addresses.

he needs to do is pay a few thousand

This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
Janni as the pro g ram’s
adoptable pet of the week
and describe her as follows:
Janni is about 2 years old,
44 pounds, and just about
one of the nicest dogs you’ll
find! This sweet, sweet girl
was discovered under an
abandoned house a few
months ago, very pregnant,
but she was taken in and
taken care of and now she’d
like to find a family of her
own.
Despite her looks in the
pictures, Janni is a very
smiley, happy girl! No deny-
ing her wagging tail, and
wiggly pittie butt! She’s
been great with all the dogs
she’s met so far and enjoys
sharing a couch and cuddle

at the shelter, but once she
gets going, she’s happy! And
she loves car rides!
Janni is a definite shelter
favorite and loves a good
snuggle. But she’s tired of
being at the shelter and is
getting depressed. Her wig-
gle-waggle is slowing down
and she just needs to get
out! Janni has been around
dog-savvy cats and is fine,
she loves kids, and is house-
trained. She is playful, yet
calm and quiet. Guaran-
teed to lift those rainy-days
blues, Janni is ready to go!
She’s current on shots,
microchipped and spayed.
The adoption fee for Janni
is $185. The fee to adopt is
charged to recoup standard
veterinary expenses. Since
many of our dogs are in fos-
ter, please call ahead to
meet her in Odell at the
Hukari Animal Shelter, 3910
Heron Dr., or call for more
information at 541-354-1083.
