Fred Schmidt Jr. Frederick Cranston Schmidt Jr., 51, of Parkdale, Ore., passed away Sunday, July 5, 2015, in a tragic car accident. Fred was bor n Jan. 24, 1964, in Baker City, O r e. , t o F r e d e r i c k a n d Jayne Schmidt. He was raised in Baker and his fa- ther taught him to appreci- ate activities commonly as- sociated with life in a small town. He loved bird hunt- ing, fishing, and camping. During many summers, he and his sister, Jackie, en- joyed attending a camp lo- cated in Cove, Ore. After losing his father during middle school, Coach Tom Doud took him under his wing. Through Tom’s guidance, Fred ex- celled as an all-around ath- lete; but his passion was football. Fred was a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan and he spent Sundays glued to the TV watching them play. He was offered a football scholarship to Ore gon State; however, after he graduated in 1982, he was in a terrible car accident in Hood River and was told he would never be able to play football again. But his in- nate and natural tenacity and zeal helped him over- come this infirmity; hence during the following year, while attending Wester n Oregon College, he joined 12 other Baker City boys playing the game he loved. He married Tammy Pe- ters in 1987 and was blessed with a son, Tyler Dylan, in 1989. He had a successful ca- reer at Oregon steel Mill. Eventually he left the mill and pursued yet another ca- reer that enabled him to travel the world. Fred was noted as a pioneer in ther- mal remediation services and utilized his expertise on six of the seven conti- nents of the world, working in a minimum of 35 coun- tries. Fred was an expert at taking waste materials – contaminated sand, soil and marshlands – and creating beneficial products. Everywhere Fred worked he left a positive impression on those with whom he came in contact. Although he met many people of no- toriety he al- w ay s re- mained hum- ble. No mat- ter where or w i t h wh o m h e wo rke d , his greatest pleasure at the end of the day was connecting with his son Tyler. Tyler had several o p p o r t u n i - Fred Schmidt ties to work abroad with his father. Fred loved his family and made every effort to come home for the holidays. Eventually, he decided to leave his work abroad and to enjoy his favorite part of t h e wo rl d , H o o d R ive r, where he could spend more time with his family. He was very happy with his last two jobs, working at NCS Or- chard and at Valley Ag in Parkdale. He mentioned more than once that it was God’s country, with the beautiful view every morn- ing of Mount Hood. I t w a s h e re, i n H o o d River, that he reconnected with a childhood friend, Jani Creighton, of Pasco, Wash., on Facebook and fell in love. He enjoyed spend- ing as much time as he c o u l d w i t h h e r. I t w a s through her and her in- volvement with Camp Patri- ot that he signed up and did a virtual run of 5K as a fundraiser on July 4. His love for the outdoors included crabbing at the Oregon Coast, kayaking, golfing, camping and jump- ing off the bridge at Lau- rence Lake. He spent his evenings reading and lis- tening to the world news on the radio. Fred had a pas- sion for sturgeon fishing with family and friends and the never-ending quest of catching a keeper! He is survived by his son, Tyler; his siblings: Kip Tay- l o r, o f Ke n t u c k y, K i m Cantrell (Tim) and Jackie Heck (Dave), of Hood River; his nephews: Zach Cantrell (Rana), of Post Falls, Idaho, and Chuck Cantrell (Kar- rie), of Parkdale; his nieces: Sarah Muenzer (Chad), of Parkdale, Nicole Taylor, of D o u g l a s, Wyo. , A s h l e y Murillo (Fernando), Andrea Heck, M i n dy Greco (Tommy), of Rock Hill, S.C., and Katie Taylor, of Bend; great-nephews Danny McK- aig, Cody Cantrell, Chad Muenzer Jr., Mitchell and Caden Hatfield, and Aiden and Chaz Greco; and great- nieces Natasha and Sierra Muenz er, Kyli Cantrell, Chloe and Briana Cantrell and Hailee Heck. He was preceded in death by his father, Frederick Cranston Schmidt; mother, Jayne Christjansen; stepfa- ther, John Christjansen; and grandmothers Maude Cranston Ellis, Nell Colton Grant and Geraldine Mc- Cracken; and grandfather Thomas Grant.

What does it feel like to breathe coal dust every day at work? Here in the Gorge, we don’t know firsthand the answers to those questions. But Nick Mullins, fourth generation coal miner, does — and he’s coming to Hood River on Monday, July 13, 2015, to tell all about it. Coal has been a part of the Mullins’ lives for eight decades and was a source of income for four generations as Nick and his forefathers worked in the mines. Eventually, the true cost of coal outweighed the short lived economic benefits it provided, and Nick left the mines. Now, the family is on a journey to promote a just transition away from coal by telling their personal story of the impacts of coal. The whole Mullins’ family will take part in sharing their story about the impacts of coal on health, family and community. Coal expor t proposals threaten to transform the Columbia River Gorge into a d i r t y c o a l ch u t e. T h e Mullins family knows these realities of the coal industry all too well. Their bold deci- sion to leave the industry that supported their family for four generations to cre- ate a healthier world is sure to inspire everyone here lo- cally to keep up the strong fight against coal export. Mullins and his family will speak at Columbia RIverkeeper, 111 Third St., beginning with a 5:30 p.m. reception; event will begin at 6 p.m. Come by for drinks and s n a ck s, a n d m e e t t h e Mullins family and River- keeper staff. WAAAM museum hosts annual antique vehicle display this weekend July 11 marks the beginning of the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum’s annual Traffic Jam, where all sorts of cars, motorcycles, trucks, and more — 30 years old or older — are displayed.

Come ex- perience automobile history up front and personal and see what this year will bring in to the show. With demonstrations, classes and restoration talks, the WAAAM Traffic Jam is a great chance to learn about the secret lives of some of the museum objects and just what it takes to keep the WAAAM fleet up and running. As an added treat, special event pricing for the WAAAM Traffic Jam is $10 for adults and $5 for kids. Come on out and celebrate au- tomobiles at the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum on July 11 and take part of this im- portant fundraiser for the museum.

It is the goal of C.G.P. to in- vestigate locations of possi- ble paranormal activity in the Columbia Gorge area. The members of their group come from many var- ied professional back- grounds, but they all share a common desire to face the unknown and find answers. It is their personal mission to assist people who have questions about possible paranormal events happen- ing in their lives, and to help them find answers. They do this out of a gen- uine scientific curiosity, and their wish is to help others understand the un- known and learn to deal with it. When they investi- gate a site, they use the best scientific equipment and true scientific techniques. For more information, visit columbiagorgeparanor- mal.com.
