Boardman offers noxious weed bounty Once again the City o f Boardman will be placing a bounty on noxious weeds. Up to $300 will be spent on a p rogram aim ed at controlling Puncturevine w ithin the city. The city has run the program for the last five years and has seen it as a “huge success,” w ith c itizen s co llectin g thousands o f pounds o f the Puncturevine. If you have ever stepped on a Puncturevine seed, you know w hat a pain the plant can be. Each spiny bur or seed pod from the Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), also known as a “goathead,” contains 20 seeds equipped with long sharp spines capable o f puncturing a bike tire or a shoe. It takes only three w eeks for th is w eed to sprout and make seeds. To make things worse, the seeds are some o f the hardiest in nature; they may lie in the ground dormant for up to 20 years until just the right conditions come along for them to grow. Any established Puncturevine will continue to grow and spread until frost com es along— unless you stop it. B o a rd m a n p la n s to enlist the aid of its citizens to control the spread of Puncturevine by offering to pay for collection of the weed from July 7 to Aug. 15. The Puncturevine and its seed pods need to be collected in bags provided by the city and returned to city hall to receive the $ l-p er-b ag in bounty, or until the entire $300 has been paid out. T h e c i t y ’s C o d e Compliance Official, Martin Martinez, said, “This is a great opportunity for local youth to raise money for their organizations and to do something good for their community.” Areas o f the most concern are the city’s bike/pedestrian paths and residential areas. Bags can be picked up at Boardman City Hall any time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning July 7.
