Page 8A NORTHWEST East Oregonian Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Japan defers wheat buys until new test in place 10th standoff defendant pleads guilty to conspiracy PORTLAND (AP) — An Arizona man who took part in a pair of armed standoffs over federal land policy has pleaded guilty to a charge in Oregon and is expected to do the same in Nevada. Joseph O’Shaughnessy, 44, acknowledged in court Monday that he conspired to prevent U.S. Interior Depart- ment employees from doing their jobs after ranchers and others took over a national wildlife refuge this winter near Burns, Oregon. O’Shaughnessy said he didn’t participate in the occu- pation led by Ammon Bundy but felt a duty to provide security for those protesting federal control of public lands and the imprisonment of two Oregon ranchers. “I did support their message,” he said, becoming the 10th of 26 defendants to plead guilty in Oregon. Prosecutors will recom- mend a prison sentence on the low end of a 12- to 18-month range, and it will be served at the same time as the term he could receive for his role in a 2014 armed standoff with federal agents at a Nevada ranch owned by Ammon Bundy’s father, Cliven Bundy, Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Gabriel said. Portland defense attorney Amy Baggio conirmed that O’Shaughnessy has a plea deal with prosecutors in Nevada and that resolving the Oregon case was part of the agreement. O ’ S h a u g h n e s s y ’s attorney in Nevada, Andrea Luem, did not return a phone message seeking details about the plea there. Prosecutors in Nevada have described O’Shaugh- nessy as a midlevel orga- nizer of the confrontation at Cliven Bundy’s ranch. The defendants there are accused of conspiring to assault federal oficials who were rounding up Bundy’s cattle over unpaid grazing fees. In Oregon, the 16 defendants who have not pleaded guilty are awaiting their day in court. Half of them, including brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy, are scheduled to stand trial starting Sept. 7. The rest were granted a trial delay until Feb. 14, 2017.

Other herbicides are known to kill Round- up-resistant wheat, he said. “We’re not surprised by this at all,” said Amy van Saun, an attorney for the Center for Food Safety in Portland. The center is a nonproit public interest and environmental advocacy organization. “Contamina- tion by GE crops and GE organisms generally is inev- itable. It keeps happening over and over again.” This is the third discovery of genetically engineered wheat in the U.S. Besides the 2013 discovery in Eastern Oregon, in September of 2014 a different variety of glyphosate-resistant wheat was found on a Huntley, Mont., research plot, where genetically engineered wheat had been legally tested 11 years before. how that stuff is showing up there,” he said. Barstow is concerned about incorrect news stories he sees coming out of South Korea implying commercial production of GMO wheat in the United States. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said. “I’m always concerned about how these things will be handled by the press. It’s really easy to frighten people about these things, and there’s no need for it, at all.” Jirava expects similar situations will occur. “As long there’s geese, deer and mice, stuff’s going to move around that we don’t know about until it shows up,” he said. “Nobody, I don’t think, is trying to deliberately do something underhanded. I think this is just something the wildlife have gotten into and we see it move around a little bit.” August 2, 2016 Movies 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 Zoo Clues Paid Hot/ Cleve.

A section of State Route 24 near Hanford that had been closed also reopened Monday, a state transporta- tion oficial said. The Department of Energy said Monday on its website that Hanford work schedules weren’t affected at this time. Meanwhile, ire crews were ighting another blaze that scorched more than 9 square miles of grassland outside of Prosser. Local crews were able to protect homes threatened by the ire, and all evacuation orders were lifted Monday morning, said Marcus Deyerin, a spokesman with the Northwest Washington Incident Management Team. One outbuilding burned. Emergency shelters that opened in Yakima County to response to both ires are now closed, said Kent Katlin, a spokesman for Yakima County Emergency Management. Several campgrounds along the Naches River were evacuated Sunday evening as a wildire burned in thick forest about 25 miles west of Yakima, said U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Robin DeMario. 6 AM STATION KATU News at 6 PBS NewsHour (31) PBS RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A wildire burning toward the Hanford nuclear reservation scorched about 110 square miles of brush and grass Monday as it spread from Yakima County into Benton County. The blaze, the largest of several wildires in central and eastern Washington, began Saturday on the U.S. Army’s Yakima Training Center and quickly grew in size over the weekend. But ire lines set overnight and low winds Monday are helping to slow the ire’s progression, said Randall Rishe, a spokesman with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The cause is being investigated. Crews were able to keep the ire west of Highway 240 by burning up grass and other fuel along there, he said, and away from contaminated areas within the 586-square mile Hanford site north of Richland. Hanford once made plutonium for nuclear weapons and is now under- going a decades-long cleanup. “We do not see it progressing any further east,” Rishe said. “Our containment lines are in place, the burnout was successful on Highway 240, so the potential for ire away,” said Ron Jirava, a Ritzville, Wash., wheat farmer. “I think it’s a wait- and-see again what their inal determinations are.” “I hope it doesn’t amount to much — it shouldn’t amount to much,” said Ben Barstow, a farmer in Palouse, Wash. The GE wheat event comes during a season that has also seen concerns about protein levels, falling number tests, stripe rust and lower prices. “It’s just one more thing,” Barstow said. Like other farmers, Barstow is curious about how the GE wheat turned up in the ield. “The protocols that were in place to keep this stuff contained were as good as we could think of at the time — I’m sure they’re better now than they were 10 or 15 years ago, but still, it’s a mystery as Tuesday Morning KTNW (59) OPB Ask This Business 13 Old House (N) STATION PEN 6 PM 6:30 AMC The First 48 "Cut 52 Down/ 9-1-1" < +++ Walking Tall 60 ANPL CMT CNBC CNN DISC DISN 24 43 72 68 51 26 ESPN 33 ESPN2 FNC FOOD FREE FX GOLF GSN HALL HGTV 34 66 61 32 65 88 76 87 62 HIST 50 LIFE NICK 29 27 ROOT 37 SPIKE 42 SYFY 67 TBS 59 TCM 56 TLC TNT UNI USA WE WGN STZ ENC HBO HBO2 HBO3 MAX SHOW STARZ 49 57 21 58 118 A&E CABLE Crews tackle several Washington wildires Industry members hope open communication with overseas customers will keep the event from damaging the market. Blake Rowe, Oregon Wheat CEO, said APHIS’ approach is more proactive compared to the 2013 inci- dent. “I think there was earlier conversation with our trading partners and their govern- ments,” he said. “They were aware, they knew what kind of work was going on. I think that was maybe something we learned from 2013, early communication and keeping them in the loop as to what progress is being made, so when the information (was announced), they weren’t surprised. They had some time to get comfortable.” “I know there are proce- dures in place, APHIS was called in right away and the buyers were notiied right PREMIUM Japan has deferred new purchases of Western white wheat until a validated test is in place for the genetically engineered wheat under investigation in Washington state, a U.S. Wheat Associ- ates spokesman says. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is investigating 22 genetically engineered wheat plants found in a fallow ield in Washington state. The wheat was developed by the Monsanto Co. and called MON 71700. It was evaluated in a limited number of ield trials in the Paciic Northwest from 1998 to 2001 but never commercialized, according to Monsanto. MON 71700 contains the same inserted DNA as MON 71800, which was found in an Eastern Oregon ield in the spring of 2013. An APHIS investigation was unable to pinpoint the source of that wheat. The DNA is in a different genomic position, according to Monsanto. No genetically engineered wheat is commercially avail- able. There is no evidence of the GE wheat in commerce, according to APHIS. The U.S. Food and Drug Admin- istration says it is unlikely the wheat presents any safety concerns if present in the food supply. Produced in the Paciic Northwest, Western white wheat is a blend of soft white wheat and club wheat, a subclass of soft white, and sold to customers in Japan and Taiwan. Japan’s Ministry of Agri- culture, Forestry and Fish- eries will resume purchases once a test designed by Monsanto and validated by USDA is ready, said Steve Mercer, vice president of communications for U.S. Wheat. Japan has been testing its wheat for MON 71800. The new test will be capable of detecting both MON 71800 and MON 71700, Mercer said. Western white wheat already purchased but not yet delivered will not be halted, Mercer said. Japanese tenders this month are for delivery in October. Japan typically keeps 1.8 months of inventory on hand. “The test materials and instructions are in Japan, but we think MAFF and other agencies will validate the test before putting it to use,” Mercer said. U.S. Wheat doesn’t expect changes in importa- tion, such as vessel loading, discharging or the execution of existing sales contracts. There may also be a temporary hold on the distribution of supplies of Western white wheat that are already stored in Japan for mills, pending the set-up of the new test kits, Mercer said. There hasn’t been any ofi- cial word from South Korea, which also temporarily halted purchases of wheat after the 2013 discovery, Mercer said. 644 518 520 521 549 578 621 7 PM 2 Broke Girls 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 :35 Two Coupled "Coupled Up" The time has come for FOX News :35 Law:CI A squad the couples to decide if they're leaving 'coupled' First at investigates high profile and a Half or alone.
