The event “is a forever thing that has been the opening of the campaign,” said Jim Moore, politics professor at Paciic Univer- sity and director of the Tom McCall Center for Policy Innovation. Brown’s move is unlikely to hurt her campaign, Moore said. As secretary of state, Brown succeeded Gov. John Kitzhaber when he stepped down in February 2015 over an inluence-peddling campaign. “Her campaign is simply to be governor,” Moore said. “It is a classic incumbent campaign, and it has been stunningly successful. The last time an incumbent governor was beat was in 1978.” The debate gives journal- ists a chance to interact with the candidates one-on-one and to report on the candi- dates’ positions. “The public beneits from having that information early on,” Hieb said. Instead of a debate, the association has given Pierce 30 minutes to present and answer questions during the association’s convention July 22 at the Oregon Garden. The convention also includes a presentation on a contro- versial corporate sales tax measure on the November general election ballot. As price of mustard rises, Idaho growers increase acreage want to grow something we can make money at.” Mountain States Oilseeds founder Bill Meadows, who contracts for mustard acres throughout the Snake River Plain, said he has increased his contracted acreage by 250 percent this season, when he had 3,000 acres. He said 15 of his 36 mustard growers are new this season and that most have increased their acres. About 40 percent of Meadows’ company’s mustard is raised without irri- gation. He said he’s hopeful dryland mustard will yield better than 1,000 pounds per acre this season, while he 4 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme Didn’t receive your paper? Call 1-800-522-0255 before noon Tuesday through Friday or before 10 a.m. Saturday for same-day redelivery of the questions in advance, which ONPA declined, Hieb said. The campaign also asked who would be asking the questions, and Hieb said she didn’t yet know. The campaign then declined the invitation. “We were told she needs to focus on her ‘oficial duties,’” Hieb said. “I emailed her campaign manager back and asked, do you have a minute to discuss on the phone, and he didn’t reply.” Pierce, a Salem oncol- ogist, said the governor’s excuse is “very weak.” “I am still practicing medi- cine as I run,” Pierce said. “I am focused on taking care of patients with cancer and blood diseases and running for ofice, so we are all busy.” “It’s obvious she doesn’t want to be there to answer questions,” Pierce said. “We know she is the incumbent and feels she is the strong favorite. It might be a good political move as the incum- bent but it is very disrespectful to the Democratic process. If you are the leader of the state, Oregonians want to know what you are thinking and to take hard questions.” Republican Chris Dudley, a former NBA player who ran for governor in 2010, may be the only other guber- natorial candidate from a major party who has opted out of the event, according 4 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Copyright © 2016, EO Media Group AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — As the price of mustard rises, growers in Idaho have expanded the acreage devoted to the crop. At 33.1 cents per pound delivered, mustard prices are up about 2.5 cents per pound from last year, making it one of the few crops to have increased in value in 2016. Idaho growers have seized on the opportunity to turn a proit, the Capital Press reported. “Grain is worthless. What more needs to be said?” said Seth Woodland, a irst-time mustard grower who planted 450 acres of the specialty crop in Lincoln County. “We Lo 51 34 39 50 37 41 46 44 48 42 41 40 39 51 48 51 48 46 44 56 38 53 47 35 56 49 47 UV INDEX TODAY Shown is today’s weather.

Kate Brown has declined to partic- ipate a July 22 debate that has been longstanding tradition for candidates in the race for Oregon governor. The debate, organized and moderated by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Asso- ciation, has typically ushered in general election campaign season for the past 30 years. “It is disappointing because she was not elected in by the voters, so it seems unfair for voters to miss out on this opportunity,” said Laurie Hieb, ONPA execu- tive director. Brown gave no speciic reason for skipping the 90-minute debate, which is typically streamed live on newspaper websites and reported in news stories. “The governor is looking forward to debates and forums as soon as the fall arrives, but right now she is focused on her oficial duties,” said Liz Accola Meunier, Brown’s campaign spokeswoman. Republican gubernatorial nominee Bud Pierce agreed to the debate the same day ONPA extended the invita- tion, Hieb said. Brown’s campaign responded to the invitation by inquiring whether the governor could get a copy Hi 69 69 70 69 73 68 75 71 78 75 75 70 67 83 64 67 79 76 74 74 73 75 67 68 74 74 74 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Meadows said mustard prices are strong due to acreage reductions in Canada. Nationwide, growers produced 55,000 mustard acres in 2015, compared with 15,000 acres in 2013. Meadows said strong marketing and Idaho’s high- quality mustard have helped expand the market. He said he is in the irst phase of shipping to new markets that were found last year. “Our long-term potential is to make Eastern Idaho the No. 1 mustard producing area in the U.S.,” he said. -10s -0s showers t-storms 0s 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: Dry and seasonable weather will kick off the weekend in the Northeast today.
