Boardman places bounty on noxious weed puncturevine, also known as a “goathead,” contains 20 seeds equipped with long sharp spines capable of puncturing a bike tire or a shoe. It takes only 3 weeks for this weed to sprout and make seeds. To make things worse, the seeds are some of the hardiest in nature; they may lie in the ground dormant for up to 20 years until just the right condi tions come along for them to grow. Unless stopped, any established puncture vine will continue to grow and spread until frost comes City councilors gave the green light last Tuesday to spend $300 on a program aimed at controlling puncturevine within the city. The city has run the program for the last two years and says it has been a huge success, with citizens collecting thousands of pounds of the puncturevine. Anyone who has ever stepped on a puncture vine (Tribulus terrestris) seed knows what a pain the plant can be. Each spiny bur or seed pod from the along. The city of Board- man plans to enlist the aid of its citizens to control the spread of puncturevine by offering to pay for collec tion of the weed through out the month of August. The puncturevine and seed pods need to be collected in bags provided by the city and returned to City Hall to receive the $1 per bag bounty. The bounty will be in effect throughout August or until the entire $300 has been paid out. The city ’s code compliance official, John Russell, said, “This is a great opportunity for local youth to raise money for their organizations and to do something good for their community.” Areas of the most concern are the city’s bike/ pedestrian paths and resi dential areas. Bags can be picked up at Boardman City Hall any time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning August 1. For more informa tion, contact Boardman City Hall at 541-481-9252. 27,2011 - THREE Class of ’61 to hold reunion Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July The Heppner class o f’61 will be holding its 50* class reunion at the Morrow County Fair Grounds Satur day, July 30. “If you remember what the class looked like in 1961, come get a look at them now,” said a class spokesperson. “Some seem shorter, some look taller, and a few are pleasantly plump. Maybe they turned rich and famous, or there may be a farmer or two. Some are attending from far off and some from not so far. Whatever the case, everyone’s happy for the chance to get together and brag, like fishermen swap ping stories.” Everyone in the class took English, math, science and history. The class of ’61 has also made some history o f its own, if only for its children. Everyone is welcome to come share in the history from 2:30-5:30 p.m., then the rest of the evening is for the class o f ’61.
