Charlevoix Conservation District Shares Special Alert About New Invasive Species
The Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area serving Charlevoix, Antrim Kalkaska, and Emmet Counties (CAKE CISMA) recently confirmed the presence of the invasive plant, black swallow-wort, in Charlevoix County. Black swallow-wort is a highly invasive plant not previously found in Charlevoix County, and can have far-reaching effects on animals and the environment it invades. The plant's roots are toxic to mammals, including livestock, and the plant has a well-documented history of out-competing and displacing the native host of monarch butterflies, the common milkweed. CAKE CISMA encourages those in Charlevoix county with black swallow-wort on their property to pull and dispose of any seedpods, and to contact CAKE CISMA.
For more information and to see photos of black swallow-wort, visit cakecisma.org.

Students Receive $389,150 in Scholarships through Charlevoix County Community Foundation
Graduating seniors from Charlevoix County high schools will receive a total of $389,150 in scholarship funds to help them launch into college and post-secondary education and training programs. This year, a total of 79 scholarships were awarded, including more multi-year scholarships, which provide financial assistance for students beyond their first year of school. Scholarship funds were established by local citizens and groups to honor family members, community leaders, educators, and others who value continuing education.
Collaborative scholarship awards continued to grow this year, providing more support to more students over their full 2 or 4 year college experience. Collaborative awards have made it possible to provide more significant support for students by pooling available dollars from individual funds. For the student, this means multi-year support, which is extremely helpful as they continue on past their first year of college. Collaborative scholarships this year were awarded to Joel Carter of Boyne City, Mallory Staley of East Jordan, and Alexandra Baron of Charlevoix.
Alexandra Baron plans to attend the University of Michigan in the fall to study dance. She expressed her sincere gratitude for her scholarship award, saying, “Receiving scholarship support has lifted a massive weight off of my family’s shoulders. I feel extremely thankful and honored to have been chosen to receive this scholarship.”
All scholarship recipients shared their excitement and gratitude, stating that this support will allow them to focus on their education and earning a degree instead of their financial burden. Some students said that feeling the community’s support and recognition through their scholarship award was particularly meaningful to them as they head out into the world on their own for the first time.
Each year the Community Foundation awards scholarships to outstanding local students with financial need who are entering the skilled trades, community colleges, and 4-year colleges and universities. These students have demonstrated their eagerness to succeed beyond high school and have shown promise in their work ethic and in their academic achievement.
For more information about how to support Charlevoix County youth through scholarships, or to find out how your scholarship fund can join efforts to create larger, multi-year awards in the future, please reach out to Sara Ward at sward@c3f.org or 231-536-2440.

State of Michigan budgets $14M for new Beaver Island Ferry
The 2023 State budget includes $14 Million dollars for the construction of a new ferry boat. This is exciting news for BIBCO, the Beaver Island Transportation Authority, the Island community, and Charlevoix and Beaver Island visitors. Water transportation is a key part of Michigan’s infrastructure and we are thankful the State of Michigan recognizes the importance of replacing aging ferries around the Great lakes.
The New Vessel would be owned by the Beaver Island Transportation Authority, whom also owns the Emerald Isle. BIBCO and BITA would work together on an operational agreement similar to the one in place now.
There is a lot of work to be done before the first piece of steel is cut. As more information is available, BIBCO will pass it on. It is very early in the process, but again we are very encouraged and excited about the opportunity to continue to work together with BITA to provide exceptional service to the Island for years to come.
