Page 6A RECORDS East Oregonian OBITUARIES The Oregonian via AP Will Vinton, an Oscar-winning animator who invent- ed Claymation, a style of stop-motion animation, and brought the California Raisins to TV, died Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, following a lengthy battle with multiple myeloma in Oregon. He was 70. Will Vinton, Portland animator, creator of California Raisins, dies PORTLAND (AP) — Will Vinton, an Oscar-win- ning animator who invented Claymation, a style of stop-motion animation, and brought the California Rai- sins to TV, has died in Ore- gon. He was 70. Citing a family statement, The Oregonian reported that Vinton died Thursday fol- lowing a lengthy battle with multiple myeloma. He won an Oscar in 1975 for the animated short film “Closed Mondays” then founded Vinton Studios in Portland the next year and went on to win three Emmys as a producer. Stop-motion is a tech- nique that requires ani- mators to shoot puppets a single frame at a time, adjusting them slightly between frames to simu- late movement. Claymation used putty or clay for a tex- tured, somewhat cartoonish feel. Vinton Studios was best known for the 1986 Cali- fornia Raisins ad campaign featuring Claymation rai- sins dancing to “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.” “He saw the world as an imaginative playground full of fantasy, joy, and charac- ter,” Vinton’s children wrote on his Facebook page. Rose Bond, a professor at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, said Vin- ton single-handedly estab- lished the city’s animation community. “He put the city on the map as far as stop-motion in America,” Bond said. Vinton, with his distinc- tive handlebar mustache, was among the city’s best- known artists. Vinton Studios at its peak in the late 1990s employed 400 people with annual rev- enue of $28 million. Vinton, however, acknowledged that the busi- ness was a financial mess and he sought out Oregon’s richest man, Nike founder Phil Knight, for financial assistance. Knight purchased a stake in the company for $5 mil- lion in 1998. He asked for monthly financial state- ments from Vinton and sug- gested the studio hire his son, Travis Knight, as an animator, the newspaper reported. The company’s financial woes continued, and Knight eventually seized control. In 2003, the studio laid off Vinton without severance. Knight renamed the studio and put his son in charge. Vinton remained active after leaving the studio and taught at the Art Institute of Portland. He is survived by his wife, three children and two sisters. DEATH NOTICES Nan Carol Reeves Arthur Richard Robinson Hermiston October 13, 1924 - September 26, 2018 Pendleton Nov. 15, 1927 - July 28, 2018 On September 26, 2018, Nan Carol Reeves passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. Nan was born on October 13, 1924, in Kreole, Mississippi, to Walter Leon and Ola Mae (Peggy) Dees. Nan was raised in Mobile and Grand Bay, Ala- bama. Her senior year of high school WWII was declared. After graduating from Grand Bay Reeves High School she attended University Busi- ness School in Mobile, Ala- bama. Her first job was at the Mobile Press Regis- ter. Soon the War Price and Ration Board was formed and Nan was one of the first people hired to work there. In 1943 Fred Reeves’ Army unit arrived in Pecan, Mississippi. His outfit was invited to a local dance in Grand Bay. One of his bud- dies dared him to ask Nan to dance and the rest is history. After a short courtship they were married on July 23, 1943, in Moss Point, Mis- sissippi. Fred was honorably discharged in 1945 and they moved to his hometown, Hermiston, Oregon. Nan owned and operated a busi- ness for 17 years. She loved playing cards and belonged to several pinochle and bridge groups spanning her entire adult life. Nan was a 70-year member of the First United Methodist Church. She was active in the Wom- en’s Group as well as teach- ing both children and adult Sunday School classes for many years. Nan was full of energy, and very well orga- nized and efficient. This allowed her to get a lot done in short order which earned her the nickname of “Little General.” After retirement, Nan and Fred enjoyed many years RVing and fishing with friends. There was always a card game going with fun times enjoyed together. Fred passed away in 2007 after 63 happy and blessed years of marriage. Nan con- tinued to live in their home and kept an immaculate yard. She enjoyed gardening and took great pride and joy in her beautiful roses and other flowers. She was a natural care- giver. For many years she drove her older or dis- abled friends to social events and appointments. In 2011, Nan moved to Sun Ter- race. She had many friends there and loved reaching out and helping those less fortunate than her. She was very thankful for the friendships she had there with both the residents and the staff. She has been a positive guiding force in the lives of her entire family. She had the opportunity in the days before her passing to witness to all, “to be good kind citi- zens and to follow Jesus,” whom she loved, admired, followed and depended on. Her beautiful Christian spirit shined for all to see. She will be greatly missed , but we as a family have peace know- ing that she is with her Lord. She is survived by her children Fred (Linda) Reeves, Barry (Joan) Reeves, Fran Fife and Cindy (Roger) Goller; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Nan’s family meant everything to her. Many wonderful hol- idays and gatherings hap- pened at Nana’s house. Nan was preceded in death by her husband Fred; her parents; three brothers, Tom, Max and Bill Dees; and son-in-law Brent Fife. A celebration of Nan’s life will be held on Saturday, October 13, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 191 E. Gladys Ave., Hermiston, Oregon. Donations may be made in Nan’s memory to the First United Methodist Church, or Vange John Memorial Hospice Education Fund at 645 W. Orchard Ave., Suite 300, Hermiston, OR 97838 Please sign the online condolence book at burns- mortuaryhermiston.com Burns Mortuary of Herm- iston, Oregon, is in care of arrangements. CYBERSECURITY MONTH How to keep your devices from sharing your personal information Better Business Bureau Malware. Ransomware. Data breaches and hack attacks. These may have all been foreign terms just a year ago, but not anymore. Consumers are much more aware of digital threats, thanks in large part to that massive attack on the credit reporting bureau Equifax. Millions of Americans had their data compromised in that attack. While many took steps to protect themselves, we know a lot of consumers simply ignored the threat altogether. This problem has already hit close to home for Pendleton consumers. In fact, a Pendleton man filed a Scam Tracker report, warning others of an apparent cyber attack on his personal computer. In the report, the man told Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific that he was surfing the web when a pop-up window appeared. He said the window told him to call an 800 number to be “safe and protected.” He says once the window appeared he lost all access to his own computer and still can’t regain control. This is a classic example of a ransomware attack. Through various methods, hackers take control of your computer, then demand a ransom to get it back. This is just one reason why BBB is urging you to take advantage of all the great resources available as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month kicks off. Are you guilty of procrastinating when it comes to your digital defenses? Don’t worry, now is your chance to act. BBB urges you to follow these simple steps to protect your digital data: • Keep a clean machine: Ensure all software on internet-connected devices — including PCs, smartphones and tablets — is up to date to reduce risk of infection from malware. • Lock down your login: Your usernames and passwords are not enough for the personal data protection of email, banking and social media. Begin your spring cleaning by fortifying your online accounts and enabling the strongest authentication tools available, such as biometrics, security keys or a unique one-time code through an app on your mobile device. • Declutter your mobile life: Most of us have apps we no longer use and some that need updating. Delete unused apps and keep others current, SUBMIT COMMUNITY NEWS Submit information to: community@eastoregonian.com or drop off to the attention of Tammy Malgesini at 333 E. Main St., Hermiston or Renee Struthers at 211 S.E. Byers Ave., Pendleton. Call 541-564-4539 or 541-966-0818 with questions. Saturday, October 6, 2018 including the operating system on your mobile device. An added benefit of deleting unused apps is more storage space and longer battery life. Actively manage your location services, Bluetooth, microphone and camera — making sure apps use them appropriately. • Do a digital file purge: Perform a good, thorough review of your online files. Tend to your digital records, PCs and phones and any device with storage just as you do for paper files. Start removing digital clutter by cleaning up your email: Save only those emails you really need, and unsubscribe to email you no longer need/want to receive. • Back it up: Copy important data to a secure cloud site or another computer or drive where it can be safely stored. Password protect backup drives. Make sure to back up your files before getting rid of a device, too. ■ For cybersecurity tips, other scams and the latest alerts, download the BBB App at bbbapp.org.
