Bad flowers
I was struck by the (Post Independent page 2) photo on July 2 titled “The Oxeyes Have It,” because oxeye daisies are on the Colorado State Noxious Weed Act’s level B list, meaning stop the spread.
C=control, A=eradicate.
While pretty to look at, they are invasive and will disrupt native vegetation because they have no natural controls and can adapt to varied conditions. They can easily be mistaken for the garden shasta daisy.
The oxeyes, like the false chamomiles known as crazy daisies, need to be pulled and placed into a bag for immediate disposal before they go to seed. Please help our beautiful native wildflowers survive and thrive by helping to eliminate noxious weeds wherever encountered whenever this is possible.

A key building in the heart of downtown Basalt is finally targeted for redevelopment.
A development firm headed by Tim Belinski and Andrew Light has an option to buy the former Clark’s Market and Habitat for Humanity Restore building and a smaller, adjacent structure that houses an interior design business. The main building also was home to City Market into the 1990s.
Belinski said they have submitted a land use application to the town of Basalt that proposes 70 rental apartments and about 9,000 square feet of commercial space.
