OBITUARIES
Ethel H. Lehman dies in
Pasco in auto mishap
Federal government slows
down gasahol growth
The Ileppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon. Thursday, September 13, 1979 THREE
WSU grad replaces Hackett
as Gazette Times editor
Ethel H. Lehman, a fre
quent participant in Morrow
County's Rodeo Parades and
most recognized as the 88-year
-old Echo woman who rode at
the head of the Dress-Up
Parade in Pendleton Friday
night, died Sunday night in a
car accident near Pasco.
Mrs. Lehman was unable to
attend this year's Rodeo
Parade in Heppner. She was
normally a participant in the
local parade as well as a rider
in the Umatilla County and
Milton-Freewater parades.
The Washington State Pa
trol reported Mrs. Lehman
was a passenger in a car
driven for Forest E. Adams,
72, Hermiston when it collided
with a car driven by a woman
from Morton, Washington at
an intersection a mile south of
Pasco about 3:20 p.m. Sunday.
Adams suffered bumps and
bruises.
"She always looked real
sharp and rode a horse that
looked sharp," said Bud
Biggerstaff, president of the
Main Street Cowboys. For
most of the last decade, it was
Danny Boy whom Mrs. Leh
man broke in when she was
about 78. The horse was 18
years old.
Mrs. Lehman began riding
horses when she was 5 and her
father, L.B. Wells, reaised
horses for a living on his
homestead west of Echo.
Her horse, Danny Boy, was
an Appaloosa. He will be given
to a great-great niece, 10-year-old
Kelli Campbell of Hermis
ton. "She has done more than
anybody to promote Echo,"
said Echo City Administrator
Susan Schuening, who noted
that Mrs. Lehman had been
honored by the city at its
centennial celebration this
summer.
Mrs. Lehman was born in
Alkali Canyon in Echo terri
tory, August 17, 1892 and her
parents came from New York
to homestead. She married
Walter Lehman in 1980 and
they honeymooned at the
Bowman Hotel in Pendleton.
In memory of Mrs. Lehman,
Mrs. Barbara Campbell will
lead Danny Boy in the
Round-up Parade.

Sept. 4.
A 42-year resident of Hepp
ner, Mrs. Hager was a
member of the advisory
committee to the Pioneer

past president of the Heppner
Soroptimist Club and was
active in community affairs

27 years.
She was born May 1, 1912, in
Heppner, the daughter of
Alonzo and Eva Stewart

day, Sept. 7, at 2 p.m. at St.
Patrick's Catholic Church
with the Rev. John O'Brien
officiating. Sacred selections

ner Masonic Cemetery, with

ner; a sister, Cleo Willard,
Myrtle Creek; and six grand

to the Pioneer Memorial
Hospital fund or to the Oregon
Cancer Society.
Port of Morrow Commis
sioner Larry Lindsay says the
main stumbling block in
development of gasahol in the
United States is the federal
government.
In a speech Monday to the
Heppner Chamber of Com
merce, Lindsay said the
Department of Energy favors
use of alcohol to reduce the
nation's dependence on Arab
oil but the Department of
Agriculture's Bob Bergland is
against it and feels it could
have "an adverse effect on
food supplies."
Lindsay would rather have
the Department Secretary
think about the impact on
agricultural prices which al
cohol production would have
on farm surpluses. His wife
noted that food by-products of
gasoline contain more protein
after the alcohol is extracted.
Lindsay and his wife atten
ded a school on gasahol in
Colby, Kansas and feel the
alternative of gasahol should
be explored.
"Morrow County could be a
large sugar beet producer,
Lindsay told chamber mem
bers. Noting that Brazil is striving
for complete fuel indepen
dence through use of 20 per
cent of alcohol in gasoline
supplies, Lindsay said alcohol
is a renewable resource and
any crop high in sugar and
starch can be used.
In using alcohol, no special
adjustments are needed or
special tanks required, accor
ding to Lindsay. And alcohol
provides higher octanes and is

supposed to increase mileage
by five per cent.
Lindsay said alcohol re
duces the amount of carbon
monoxide released in the air
by one-third and eliminates
dieseling in late model cars.
He added that it releases less
cer-causing agents) into the
environment.
The port commissioner was
asked by Heppner High School
Principal Jim Bier about the
negative effects of the amount
of energy needed to produce
the alcohol for gasahol. Lind
say admitted there is negative
output of energy but said there
was a lag in research efforts to
determine how much energy
was spent at gasoline refin
eries. Lindsay said it would not be
impossible for the country to
successfully shift to alcohol
production, citing the techno
logical advance of the nation
during World War II when the
U.S. was faced with a cutoff of
rubber from Southeast Asia.
The country learned to de
velop synthetic rubber as a
substitute.
The byproduct of alcohol
production from corn tastes
like cornflakes and is in
demand overseas, Mrs. Lind
say explained.
Mrs. Lindsay, a chemist,
was credited with producing
the second best batch of
alcohol from a laboratory still.
at the Kansas school, Lindsay
told chamber members.
The school drew 70 partici
pants and several were from
Oregon, one of whom was the
Dean of Mechanical Engineer
ing at Oregon Technical
Institute, Klamath Falls.
Lindsay expects Klamath
Falls to have one of the first
alcohol production plants in
Oregon.
A school in gasahol produc
tion is expected to be held at
Blue Mountain Community
College or at Eastern Oregon
State College at La Grande,
County Extension Agent Har
old Kerr reported.
Lindsay feels gasohol pro
duction is an alternative
energy source which needs
more government attention
than it is presently receiving
and vital to establishing the
nation's energy independence
of the OPEC countries.
Public Hearings
set this month
The Oregon Department of
Energy will conduct two
public hearings this month on
proposed administrative rules

trial and Commercial Tax
Credit Program, and to

native Energy Tax Credit
Program.
Steve A. Powell has been
named as news editor of the
Heppner Gazette-Times to
take the place of Jim Hackett.
Hackett has accepted a
public affairs position with the
U.S. Army in Tacoma.
Powell and his wife, Renita,
will be coming to Heppner
from Pullman, Wa. where he
graduated from Washington
State University with a bache
lor of arts in communications.
He had a minor in history.
This will be Powell's first
job in the professional ranks
but he has served as editor,
sports editor, sportswriter and
reporter on college newspa
pers. "I am really excited about
starting my career in Hepp
ner," Powell said. "I like the
atmosphere in the town and
the people down at the paper
are dedicated to doing a good
job and that is the kind of
newspaper I want to be
associated with."
Powell also said he is an
avid sports fan and he hopes to
give athletics in the area the
best coverage the Gazette
Times has ever given. He
added that although he is
coming to a new area, he
hopes the community will not
hesitate to come to him with
news.
"If the townspeople will
keep me well informed, I will
be able to learn about the area
and its problems and then
hopefully be able to report it
intelligently and with some
knowledge to the rest of the
community," he said. "Only
in this way can successful
change be brought about."

ved in the Elks diningroom
