Brown declines traditional
summer debate with Pierce
to the ONPA.
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

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

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

UV INDEX TODAY
Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows.
— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
SALEM — Gov. 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

thinks irrigated ields will
yield between 2,200 pounds
and 2,500 pounds.
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.
