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:

Parkdale, Nicole Taylor, of

and Hailee Heck.

ther, John Christjansen;
and grandmothers Maude

‘Breaking Clean’ tour comes to Hood River
What’s it like to live in a
coal town? 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.
A swap meet will take place at the
same time.
Visitors have a chance to talk
with some of the owners of the cars
entered in the car show — last year
there were over 120 and the event is
only growing bigger. Some high-
lights from the past WAAAM Traf-
fic Jams include a 1890s Riker Elec-
tric Car, very rare Chevy Corvettes,
and the 2014 National Blue Collar
Rat Rod Build off winner. 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.
Start the morning early with the
Hood River Eye Openers Lions
Club with breakfast at 8 am. Same
day registration for the car show is
permitted so that everyone who
wants to take part can participate.
Learn about Columbia Gorge Paranormal at the library
Lear n about Columbia
Gorge Paranormal, a local
nonprofit who investigates
locations of possible para-
normal activity in the Gorge.
Meet the team, view audio
and video clips, and partici-
pate in a questions and an-
swers at the Hood River Li-
brary on Friday, July 31, be-
ginning at 7 p.m. There will
also be equipment to view.
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.

brary District at 541-386-2535,
