Class of 2024 Co-Valedictorians<br />

Carrying forward the power of community nurtured at Selkirk<br />

College into the broader world is the ambition of the Class of<br />

2024 co-valedictorians. Convocation 2024 takes place at the <strong>Castlegar</strong><br />

Campus on <strong>May</strong> 30 with two different ceremonies that celebrate<br />

the graduating class. Contemporary Music & Technology<br />

Program graduate Jay Porteous and Recreation, Fish & Wildlife<br />

Program graduate Holly Macris have been chosen to represent<br />

their peers.<br />

This year’s graduating class includes 1,033 learners across all<br />

college programs who will receive a credential. Convocation day<br />

provides a moment to reflect on accomplishments and set sights<br />

on bright futures.<br />

“It’s easy to see the problems in the world as something too<br />

big to have an impact on, but if everyone makes a small change<br />

then we have the collective power to make a big difference,” says<br />

Macris. “People come from all over the world to attend Selkirk<br />

College and I really believe that our graduating class has this ability.<br />

If we can take what our college experience has given us in<br />

whatever area we are in and work to make a difference, then we<br />

can have a really big impact.”<br />

Complete with a little rock n’ roll snarl that goes along with<br />

her educational pathway of choice, Porteous is confident her fellow<br />

graduates are ready to make a raucous impact in their budding<br />

careers.<br />

“We rock and<br />

we’re going to kick<br />

some ass in our<br />

career fields!” says<br />

Porteous. “There<br />

are so many super<br />

talented people that<br />

I have met in all<br />

Selkirk College programs.<br />

Now armed<br />

with all the knowledge<br />

we have been<br />

given, we are so<br />

ready to tackle what<br />

comes next. The<br />

people I have met<br />

over the last three<br />

years are so passionate,<br />

success is<br />

certain to follow.” A<br />

quiet leader within<br />

her cohort and an<br />

active contributor to<br />

overall student life<br />

Community Education & Workplace Training<br />

on the <strong>Castlegar</strong> Campus, Macris grew up in rural Batemans Bay<br />

on Australia’s South Coast. A star student who pours energy into<br />

her own work and helps boost those around her, Macris was recognized<br />

by faculty for her team approach to learning.<br />

Having returned to post-secondary in her late-20s to receive<br />

tangible hands-on education, Macris has already landed a job<br />

with the Department of Fisheries & Oceans based out of Whitehorse,<br />

Yukon where she is an aquatics technician doing work that<br />

includes sonar monitoring in areas near the Arctic Circle. She<br />

encourages all fresh college alumni to embrace lifelong learning.<br />

Selkirk College opened its doors to regional post-secondary<br />

learning in September 1966 with a class of 458 charter students<br />

and the first graduation ceremony took place in the spring of<br />

1968. Since that time, thousands have graduated into successful<br />

careers from a wide range of programs that have evolved over the<br />

decades.<br />

Education, Communications & Awareness, Planning. Management,<br />

Indigenous & Diverse Cultures, Professional Achievement,<br />

and Volunteer Service. Every year Heritage BC receives nominations<br />

for projects and people across the province who have made<br />

an impact on heritage stewardship and conservation. This year,<br />

recipients were recognized in five categories at an awards ceremony<br />

on Thursday <strong>May</strong> 2nd in Nelson BC.<br />

“Heritage BC Award winners stand as examples of the impact<br />

that dedicated heritage work can make in communities across<br />

our Province”, says Kirstin Clausen, Executive Director. “This<br />

year, we are excited to be recognizing multiple projects and<br />

individuals who expanded the heritage that is being taught and<br />

recognized in our sector. They prove that all communities have<br />

a history and heritage that we should be sharing and learning<br />

about. Heritage BC congratulates all of our winners who are<br />

demonstrating excellence through their hard work”.<br />

Britney Dack, Chair of Heritage BC says that “The quality of<br />

nominations we received this year made for difficult decisions<br />

by our panel of judges. Both the quality and breadth of heritage<br />

projects that are being developed in communities big and small<br />

across British Columbia is truly impressive. To learn about the<br />

incredible award winners, read about them and their work on the<br />

Meet Gonzo & Ziggy,<br />

Gonzo is a 1 year old Neutered male New Zealand rabbit.<br />

A rabbit with an independent spirit. His friendly nature and sweet<br />

disposition make him a joy to be around. He’s not your typical<br />

bunny; he’s a self-reliant explorer, always curious and eager to<br />

discover new things.<br />

Ziggy is a 1 year old Neutered male New Zealand rabbit.<br />

A young rabbit with a personality as bright as his name suggests.<br />

He’s independent, but don’t mistake that for aloofness. Ziggy<br />

doesn’t ask for much - just some space to hop around and a few<br />

treats now and then. He’s content with simple pleasures, like a<br />

fresh carrot or a gentle pat.<br />

We at the SPCA would also like to share that there are many more<br />

rabbits available and ready for adoption if you’re interested please<br />

The Broom Busters Program<br />

The Central Kootenay Invasive<br />

Species Society (CKISS)<br />

proudly announces the launch<br />

of the Kootenay Broom Busters<br />

Program, a pilot program<br />

aimed at harnessing community<br />

engagement to combat the<br />

spread of invasive Scotch broom<br />

in the Kootenays.<br />

The Broom Busters Program<br />

is a community-driven initiative<br />

facilitated by CKISS, aimed at<br />

engaging Kootenay residents in hands-on action to mitigate<br />

the impacts of invasive Scotch broom on local ecosystems<br />

and wildfire risks. During a Broom Bash, volunteers come<br />

together to mechanically remove invasive Scotch broom infestations<br />

from their community, fostering a collaborative effort<br />

to address environmental challenges. Participants receive<br />

valuable hands-on learning experiences about the detrimental<br />

effects of invasive plants on ecosystems and economies, gaining<br />

insights into proper removal techniques and the importance<br />

of timing in cutting broom.<br />

Supported by the Regional District of Central Kootenay<br />

(RDCK) Local Conservation Fund, CKISS is launching the<br />

Broom Buster program across designated areas within the<br />

RDCK, with the goal of educating and inspiring residents to<br />

become community ambassadors. These ambassadors will be<br />

empowered to drive change and foster a deeper connection to<br />

the land, their neighborhoods, and each other, ensuring the<br />

program’s continued success and expansion.<br />

The inaugural Broom Busters event is scheduled for Saturday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 25, 2024, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. CKISS is<br />

partnering with the Creston Rod and Gun Club to tackle a<br />

Scotch broom infestation on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake,<br />

between Destiny Bay and Sanca, near the ‘Glass House’. You<br />

can sign up to volunteer or get more information on the event<br />

ckiss.ca/events. Two other Broom Bash events are planned in<br />

June in Proctor and the Nelson North Shore area.<br />

“Joining the Kootenay Broom Busters as a volunteer offers<br />

numerous compelling reasons to get involved. By participating<br />

in Scotch broom removal efforts, you’ll directly contribute<br />

to preserving native habitats and restoring biodiversity in our<br />

community. Additionally, your involvement will help enhance<br />

wildlife habitats, reduce the risk of wildfires, and improve<br />

outdoor recreational opportunities for hunters, naturalists,<br />

and outdoor enthusiasts. Volunteering as a Broom Buster<br />

also allows you to promote environmental stewardship, gain<br />

valuable hands-on educational experiences, foster community<br />

involvement and collaboration, and make a tangible impact on<br />

the health of our ecosystems. Don’t miss this chance to be part<br />

of a meaningful initiative that benefits both present and future<br />

generations!” states Education Program Coordinator Laurie<br />

Frankcom<br />

CKISS is actively encouraging residents to get involved and<br />

contribute to the initiative’s success. Residents interested in<br />

participating in a Broom Bash or proposing future Broom<br />

Bash sites are encouraged to reach out to CKISS via email at<br />

info@ckiss.ca. CKISS is also seeking reports on Scotch broom<br />

infestations in the community, and residents can submit<br />

reports through the reporting form on the CKISS website.<br />

Your involvement and input are crucial in the fight against<br />

invasive Scotch broom, and CKISS looks forward to collaborating<br />

with residents to address this pressing environmental<br />

issue. www.ckiss.ca<br />

Terrific Transplants!<br />

The key to success with transplants is<br />

selecting healthy young plants and handling<br />

them properly.<br />

Transplants should be stocky and compact<br />

with healthy-looking foliage. Green<br />

foliage should be a rich dark green, not<br />

pale or yellow, and free of spots that<br />

might indicate disease. Colored foliage<br />

-- as on coleus, for instance -- should be<br />

free of discoloration or signs of disease.<br />

Wilted foliage may mean the plant needs<br />

water; it can also be a sign of root rot or<br />

other disease problems.<br />

Though it’s nice to see annuals or<br />

perennials in flower, the best transplants<br />

are those without flowers or fruits. Right<br />

after planting, transplants need to concentrate<br />

on establishing a large, strong<br />

root system. If they’ve already switched<br />

from vegetative growth to flower or fruit<br />

production, they will not be able to do<br />

this and will struggle through the season<br />

on an inadequate root system.<br />

At transplanting time, handle plants<br />

carefully to avoid damaging their roots<br />

and stems. If plants were grown in peat<br />

pots, soak the pots thoroughly before<br />

planting, and make sure the edge of the<br />

pot is completely covered -- if the lip is<br />

left exposed, it will wick water away from<br />

plant roots.<br />

Plants in multicompartment containers<br />

should be well watered and removed<br />

from their cells with care and transferred<br />

quickly into the garden so their roots<br />

don’t have a chance to dry out. All transplants<br />

should be watered in after transplanting<br />

so dry soil around them doesn’t<br />

pull water away from their roots.<br />

Often it isn’t enough to just stick the<br />

plants in the ground and water -- newly<br />

set transplants may need protection<br />

against insects, frost and wind.<br />

warm-weather crops such as tomatoes and<br />

peppers are planted early or frost threatens<br />

after the usual frost-free date. Warmweather<br />

crops shouldn’t be planted until<br />

the soil has warmed up to 65 degrees and<br />

the average date of the last frost is past.<br />

They usually grow poorly, if at all, before<br />

that, so little is gained and the plants might<br />

be lost if they’re planted too early.<br />

Cool-weather crops such as broccoli,<br />

cabbage and other members of the cabbage<br />

family will tolerate cooler soil and air temperatures<br />

and even some light frost and so<br />

can be planted earlier.<br />

All transplants are subject to wind damage.<br />

Commercial plant covers or caps,<br />

windbreaks of evergreen prunings and<br />

milk jugs with the bottoms cut out can be<br />

used to keep wind from flattening newly set<br />

transplants.<br />

Even the healthiest transplants with the<br />

best handling will experience some root<br />

damage at transplanting. Until they get<br />

their roots established, the tops won’t grow.<br />

To promote rooting, give plants a dose of<br />

high-phosphorus fertilizer at transplanting.<br />

Phosphorus is the most important<br />

nutrient for root growth.<br />
