The four elementary schools in the West Boundary will continue to by administered by one principal next year as trustees of School District 51 voted in favour of continuing the Four Schools Model for the 2014-2015 school year. The vote took place at their regular general meeting on March 11 in the administration office in Grand Forks. The motion included an increase in administrative time for the vice-principal of the Four School Model from 0.15 full-time equivalent (FTE) to 0.25 FTE because it was found that the position filled by vice-principal Jennifer MacDonald was in need of more time. PRINCIPAL A letter signed by BRIAN FOY board chair Teresa Rezansoff was sent home to the affected elementary school parents. The letter expressed appreciation for the feedback from staff and parents during consultations in the month prior to the vote. “The board recognizes that along with the successes of this model, there were challenges identified and as such has asked district staff to work with the schools’ administration to find the areas that can be addressed which will have the most positive impact on this model.” The next meeting of the school board will be on April 15 at 6 p.m. at the Boundary Learning Centre in Midway.

Two people escaped serious injury after their truck ended up in the Kettle River. On Monday, March 24, 2014 Midway RCMP received a report of a vehicle that had run off the road into the Kettle River approximately 2 kilometres east of Rock Creek. Police, ambulance and West Boundary Highway Rescue units attended and found a full-size pickup truck in the river. One male occupant was on the roof and another female occupant was inside the cab of the truck. The truck was approximately 10 metres from shore in cold, moving water that was approximately one and a half metres deep. Boundary Rescue utilized a rope and harness and sent one person to the truck. They were able to get both people safely to shore and up the steep embankment to a waiting ambulance. The two occupants were transported to the Grand Forks hospital by Emergency Health Services to get checked over. The male driver was issued a violation ticket for Driving Without Due Care and Attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. “The RCMP would like to thank Granton Motors and EHS for the use of their personal flotation devices and life jackets during this rescue,” Corporal Kevin Christensen told the Times. “The RCMP would also like to commend the Boundary rescue unit and especially John Coburn for the great job they did.” According to Coburn, all air bags—front and side—were deployed. “Air bags and seatbelts save lives,” he said.
