News - Cookies at Christmas. Yummy! The Shepherds of Good Hope are enjoying cookies in this Christmas season thanks to the baking efforts of students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. A student suggestion was made to a nutrition science class at the school that cookies should be baked for the Shepherds of Good Hope this Christmas. Teacher Mr. Swenson was supportive of the suggestion and was instrumental in coordinating this Christmas giving initiative.

Literary arts winners Special to the News
SUBMITTED
Winners from Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville in the Samuel de Champlain Literary Arts Competition are, front row, from left, Angelina Zoght, Bradley Belford, Eric Harford, Ethan Beuree and Sophie BoehmEdwards, and, back row, from left, Guardian Angels Catholic School principal Michelle Corbett, teacher Mrs. Janice Barclay and teacher Mrs. Tara Hudon.
News - Five grade four students at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville are among the winners in a city-wide literary arts competition. Only 20 awards were presented in the competition which was held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s trip along the Ottawa River in 1613. The winners from Guardian Angels, who received their awards at a ceremony at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans on Tuesday, Dec. 10 are Bradley Belford, Ethan Beuree, Sophie Boehm-Edwards, Eric Harford and Angelina Zoght. All five are students in Mrs. Janice Barclay’s grade four class at the school. Each student received a bound copy of the collection of the winning entries in the competition which was called the Samuel de Champlain Literary Arts Competition. It was a city-wide, bilingual contest which invited young writers to submit works that related to Champlain’s explorations and the welcome that he received from the Algonquin inhabitants of the Ottawa River area. Students researched the topic and then wrote letters and journal entries using the voice of Samuel de Champlain to describe his experiences.
It was back in the spring of 1613 that Samuel de Champlain left his New France establishment and travelled along the Ottawa River in search of an imagined northern sea. He stopped, among other places, in ancestral Algonquin territory, a place now called Ottawa. The contest was open to Ottawa area students in two age groups: junior writers in grades 3 to 5 and senior writers in grades 6 to 8. Five categories of literary arts were accepted: first person narratives including letters and journal entries like those done by the Guardian Angels students; essays or opinion pieces; fictional stories about Champlain’s adventures and discoveries; poems including original ballads; and dramatic monologues. All entries had to be original with a maximum length of 1,000 words. Besides each winner receiving a personal bound collection of the winning entries, commemorative copies of the collection are being given to the school libraries of the winning students. The collection is also going to be displayed in Ottawa’s public libraries, museums and creative spaces. The judging was done by Francophone, Anglophone and Aboriginal writers from established literary circles, selecting the best entries in each category.

Continued from page 1
One class performed a different version of the well-known “Twelve Days of Christmas,” which featured much different gifts than those in the traditional version – gifts such as a “porcupine in a pine tree” and “three beaver tails.” And the grade six class, with members wearing ties, delivered a revised version of the iconic “Jingle Bells,” re-formatting the song for the words to their version called “Recess Bells.” And on it went, as class after class performed for their assembled fellow students and their teachers. A special draw for tickets to an Ottawa 67’s game on Friday, Jan. 3, 2014 was held, with 20 students coming from all grade levels, from kindergarten to grade six, emerging as winners of tickets to the game.

$1,250 for Tysen John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Tysen Lefebvre, centre, of Stittsville, whose Mission To A Million campaign has the goal of raising one million dollars for the Make A Wish Foundation, holds a cheque for a donation of $1,250, half of the proceeds from the “Santa’s Seconds” fundraiser which was held at Stittsville Public School, which he received for the Mission To A Million campaign from the school at an assembly on Thursday, Dec. 19, with the donation being presented to him on behalf of the school by teachers, from left, Kelly Doherty, Natalie Tessier, Matt Currah and Helen Catselis.
News - Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville has a big goal but his goal is now a little closer thanks to the success of the recent “Santa’s Seconds” student shopping spree at Stittsville Public School. Tysen’s goal is to raise one million dollars for the Make A Wish Foundation in his Mission To A Million campaign. This would be enough to grant 100 wishes to youngsters. The “Santa’s Seconds’ event at Stittsville Public School on Friday, Dec. 13 raised $2,500, half of which was donated to Tysen at an assembly at the school on Thursday, Dec. 19. The other half of the funds raised by “Santa’s Seconds” is being donated to Toy Mountain. When receiving the $1,250 at the assembly, Tysen expressed amazement at the amount of money raised by the “Santa’s Seconds” event and thanked the students and school for its donation to his Mission To A Million campaign. Tysen, who is 13 years old, is familiar with Stittsville Public School as he graduated from there and is now a student at Goulbourn Middle School. He was born with a rare genetic
disorder called Pfeiffer Snydrome and so far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, beginning when he was only nine days old. Last year Tysen was fortunate enough to have his wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation as he got to fly to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was inspired by Adam’s generosity and decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does. This is how his Mission To A Million campaign started, trying to raise one million dollars so that Make A Wish Foundation could grant 100 wishes. Tysen has a website where youngsters can go and become Tysen’s teammate and gather pledges for his mission. If they raise $50, they will get a ticket for a gala event being planned for youth on Saturday, May 3 at the Ernst & Young Centre near the airport. This Four Wishes gala will give every child there an opportunity to experience the joy of a wish fulfilled through what will be presented there. A recent fundraiser event for Tysen’s Mission For A Million was held at Boston Pizza at the Kanata Centrum where ten percent of the food sales that evening were directed to Tysen’s Mission To A Million.

be screened in this International Film Series which will take place on one Thursday evening in four consecutive months (Jan. to April) in 2014. “Gloria” will be shown on Thursday, March 20. All of the screenings are happening at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata starting at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. “Inside Llewyn Davis” is a 2013 American comedy/drama film telling the story of one week in the life of a talented but struggling folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961. Signing up for the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 by purchasing a pass for the four films to be shown is a lot like being there at the Berlin International Film Festival or at the Cannes Film Festival or at the Toronto International Film Festival – at least for one Thursday night a month for four months, from January through April, 2014.
For instance, the first film on the schedule, slated for Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014, is a film “The Hunt” that was shown at both the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. And what a film! At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, its lead actor, Mads Mikkelsen, won the Best Actor Award. So you know that the performance by this Danish actor is superb. In “The Hunt,” a Danish drama film, Mads Mikkelsen stars as a man who becomes the target of mass hysteria after being wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a child. The film won the 2013 Nordic Council Film Prize and has been selected as the Danish entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2014 Academy Awards this coming March. So, this film “The Hunt” will give you the viewing experience of the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and the

News - At the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, Chilean actress Paulina Garcia captured the Silver Bear Award for best actress. And now you will be able to see why and enjoy her performance in the film “Gloria” this coming March when the film is shown as part of the 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. And winning a Silver Bear Award for best actress at the Berlin International Film Festival is no mean feat. Previous winners of the award have include such luminaries as Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lily Tomlin, Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley MacLaine. Quite an illustrious and talented group! The Berlin International Film Festival itself, by the way, is considered one of the world’s leading film festivals. Dating back to 1978, it shows up to 400 films at each festival.
“Gloria,” the fourth feature film directed by Chilean film director Sebastian Lelio, tells the story of Gloria, a middle-aged divorcee, a lively, active person who is shown with her family, in social situations and at a number of dances and parties. During the film which is set in Santiago, the capital of Chile, she enters a whirlwind relationship with another divorcee, Rudolph, who is a former naval officer.. It is generally an upbeat film about a positive character, Gloria, played by Paulina Garcia who meets life’s ups and downs with fortitude and resilience. She exhibits not only passion but a sense of humour and independence. The 110 minute long film also features an intricate soundtrack with a range of mainly popular music. This film “Gloria” is one of four films that are being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. It is the third film of the four to

What an internationally diverse series of films these four films are and they are all available for viewing for just the $40 cost of a pass. And, what’s even better, the pass is fully transferable so if you cannot attend one of the screenings, you can give the pass to a family member or friend for their use. They also make great gifts for that film lover that you may know!

Questions about proposed pipeline Special to the News
News - City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri attended the recent information open house held by TransCanada about the proposed Energy East Pipeline with a view to listening to the concerns and comments of area residents. He came away from the meeting with 19 questions related to these concerns and comments. He met in his office with a representative of the Energy East Pipeline project and provided the 19 questions, asking for answers to them. He said that when he receives the answers back to these questions, he will post them on his website. He expects that it will take a number of months for the answers to be provided, given the detailed responses that he is expecting. The 19 questions which he submit-
ted to Trans Canada bout this proposed Energy East Pipeline project are as follows: Noise frequency of pumping station and how far does the noise travel and how loud is it? What is the accepted level of such noise by the National Energy Board?; What is the impact at each end of the pipeline in terms of transportation of the product?; How much gas is being burned up when you burn crude oil?; Who is the major share holder of TransCanada?; What are the risks associated with a possible spill or leak in terms of human health implications, animal species and vegetation?; What is the emergency mitigation if a spill or leak should occur?; Is TransCanada working with municipalities
emergency response teams to give them the chemical breakdown of the makeup of the oil (percentages of each chemical i.e. bitumen), how to deal with a potential spill of hazardous material, what action to take if a spill or leak occurs into the water system and the implications of human contact (indirect ingestion or exposure to kin)?; How long does it take for the warning system to alert of faults or problems within the pipeline and how much is spilled or leaked before such a signal goes off?; What percentage of the oil is diluted bitumen and what is the breakdown of chemicals to dilute the oil to make it travel faster?; What is the lifetime expected for the pipeline based on the wear and tear due to the transportation of the diluted oil?; What tests are performed to ensure the stability of the existing pipe?; How often does the smart PIG run through
the pipeline and how long does it take for it to travel from one end to the other checking for defects in the pipe?; What is the life span of the smart PIG?; TransCanada states that the pipeline is 99 percent safe. What is this statement based on?; What is TransCanada’s responsibility for the aging infrastructure of the existing pipeline?; Do you know how long the existing pipe will hold before needing to be replaced? If TransCanada is fined, where does the money go that is collected?; Will this project guarantee cheaper gasoline prices for Canadian consumers?; What is the potential number of long term jobs that this pipeline is expected to create for Canadians? This proposed Energy East Pipeline involves the conversion of part of an existing natural gas pipeline which runs through Goulbourn just west of Stittsville.

Concert at SCHS John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Was James Bond in the house? When the numbers were announced, “Double O Seven,” you wondered for just a moment – was this a call for James Bond?. But it was not calling out to the famous British secret service agent James Bond aka “OO7,” that fictional character best known for the ongoing film series that began when Sean Connery starred as James Bond in the movie “Dr. No” in 1962 and who has been best known for his cars, guns, gadgets and girls. Rather, the “Double O Seven” called out was the numbers associated with one of the winning tickets in the concert-ending draw held at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Tuesday evening, Dec. 17. It was one of the winning tickets whose holder got to select a gingerbread house to take home. But music has always been a big part JOHN CURRY/METROLAND of any James Bond movie as evidenced by South Carleton High School music teacher Ms. Roberta Archibald, far right, standing, directs the junior band with many of its members some of the theme songs being nominated wearing Santa or red hats as the band plays at the music concert at the school in Richmond on Tuesday evening, Dec. 17. for the Academy Award for original song. These include Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die” and Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better.” And so it was perhaps appropriate and somewhat fitting that 007 be called out at this music concert at South Carleton, a concert which featured the musical offerings of both the school’s junior and senior bands as well as other related groups. For the concert, which was attended by about 300 parents, family members and friends, the Glenn Ward Hall at South Carleton was filled with the sound of these bands, with the junior band under the direction of Mrs. Roberta Archibald and the senior band performing under the direction of Mrs. Sarah Woods. A number of the band members wore Santa hats to add to the seasonal nature of the event. The songs played ranged from seasonal to popular and also ranged in variety JOHN CURRY/METROLAND – some were quiet and slow, others brisk South Carleton High School music teacher Ms. Sarah Woods, far left, standing, directs the senior band as it performs at the music concert at and loud and others roamed from soft to the school in Richmond on Tuesday evening, Dec. 17. thunderous.

Another good year
T
he year 2013 has been many things. Here in Ottawa, it has been a year of new beginnings. A stadium is in the works, tunnels are bored beneath the streets, two new sporting institutions are taking shape, and official plans have been ratified to guide our city into the future. It was a year of a terrible tragedy, when the lives of six people were lost during a horrific bus crash near the Fallowfield Transitway station. Dozens were injured. We can only hope that the lessons learned from that tragic moment in time will help us prevent such a thing from ever happening again. It has been a year of controversy. Daniel Alfredsson snuck out of town in the middle of the night. Tall towers have been planned and opposed, heritage has been preserved and destroyed, buses have been diverted, highways constricted by construction. Bridges have been delayed, bridges have been abandoned, and bridges have been mired in mismanagement. It was a bad year for bridges. It wasn’t a particularly good year for electronic bus passes either. It has been a year of consistency. Winter was cold, summer was steamy and property tax increases were kept to a minimum. Bluesfest still rocked. Our mayor still managed to appear at every pancake
breakfast and barbecue he could. Elsewhere, political uncertainty and scandal were hallmarks of 2013. Ontario witnessed the arrival of Kathleen Wynne as premier. She has been dogged by the legacy of her predecessor, and Queen’s Park has teetered on the brink of an election ever since. On Parliament Hill, things haven’t been much different. The Senate expense scandal has gobbled up great chunks of time in both the red chamber and House of Commons. When it wasn’t the trials and tribulations of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau leading the evening news or topping the front pages, there was always Toronto’s Rob Ford there to fill the vacuum. Yet through it all, Ottawa has a great deal to be thankful for. Despite federal public service job cuts, the city is still faring better economically than many across the province. The light rail system currently under construction will revolutionize transit and spur development across the city. Ottawa is a wonderfully green city, with parks and open spaces easily accessible to all who live here. It is a vibrant city, with culture to spare for those who wish to seek it out. The past year has been many things, but it has proven once again how fortunate we are to live in the nation’s capital.

The heartwarming technology of Christmas
T
he technology is lining up pretty well for Christmas this year. Santa’s helpers at the mall will, for a small fee, put your child’s photo with the big guy on a flash drive for you. So there’s that worry taken care of. It needs hardly to be said that online shopping grows every year. People don’t have to go out to be among other people, except to get their flash drives from Santa’s helpers. Also, the word has just come in that it is now possible to buy Christmas trees online. Home Depot in the U.S. has put trees on its website. Ikea sells them in Britain and there’s another big company in Sweden that does it too. Meanwhile, Amazon is working on a delivery drone. This is a great relief to those people who thought they might have to go out of the house this season and interact with other people. And there’s this other advantage, found in a newspaper quote from a happy California online tree shopper – “no needles in the car!� Yes. It’s such a drag at this time of year to have a car that smells like Christmas trees. It reminds you of, well, Christmas. So things are moving right along. Not that there isn’t room for improvement.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town children are not being co-operative. They are becoming less and less enthusiastic about having their pictures taken. This may have to do with the fact that every adult they know now has a camera, often disguised as a phone, and the children are constantly forced to pose. And now they have to stand in line in the mall so that their parents can get them and Santa on a flash drive so that they can email photos instead of writing Christmas cards. But you know, progress is inevitable. Some day it will possible to have robots that will look like children and be more co-operative in front of cameras. There still remains the necessity of going outside for certain things, such as the picture of Santa and your robot. But surely, if we can

put a man on the moon, we can fix this. Which leads us, reluctantly, to the following heart-warming Christmas story. The Christmas Drone It had been a difficult day and Bob was wondering whether this might turn out to be the worst Christmas ever. First the children had, for the fourth visit in a row, refused to have their picture taken with Santa. There would be no flash drive this Christmas. Then the outdoor Christmas lights refused to turn on automatically, which meant that Bob had to go outside to flip a switch. Then the WiFi went down. “Oh no!� cried Bob. “How will I finish my Christmas shopping?� The Christmas cards were all stuck in the community mailbox with care and the Christmas tree he had ordered online was nowhere in sight. When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter on the roof that Bob wondered he would have to get new insulation. But he sprang out of his house to see what was the matter, hoping he could remember the access code to get back in, and lo and behold his eyes beheld a tiny little airplane. He was hoping that the tiny little airplane could talk, otherwise it would be difficult to
tell the rest of the story. “Where did you come from?� he asked the tiny little airplane. “I’m The Christmas Drone,� the tiny little airplane said. “I come from Amazon to bring presents to all the little children of the world and their lazy parents.� “Did you bring my Christmas tree?� Bob asked. “Not my job,� the Christmas Drone said. “The Ikea drone should be along any minute.� “This will be the happiest Christmas ever!� said Bob, although, to tell the truth, he was getting a bit tired of the clatter on the rooftop.

Gift Basket Auction at Richmond Curling Club John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Richmond Curling Club turned to the auctioneer’s hammer to raise funds for the Richmond
Food Bank. It all happened at a party gathering at the Curling Club on Friday night, Dec. 13 when 18 donated gift baskets were auctioned off to raise the funds, with Al McConnell serving as the
auctioneer. And the bidding was competitive as, when it was all said and done, a total of $1,800 had been raised for the Richmond Food Bank from the sale of these gift baskets.
The Curling Club’s social committee – the Brenda gang of Brenda McConnell, Brenda MofďŹ tt and Brenda Hall – would like to thank those businesses and others who donated the gift baskets for this fundraising auc-
tion. The funds were donated to the Richmond Food Bank on Tuesday, Dec. 17 and will go a long way in helping the Food Bank meet the demand from those less fortunate in the community in this Christmas season.

It all comes together at SCHS dance show John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Dazzling costumes. Energetic performances. Rousing music. Eye-catching choreography. When these comes together, you are bound to have a great dance show and that was the case for the annual fall dance show at South Carleton High School in Richmond. Presented on both Thursday evening, Dec. 12 and Friday evening, Dec. 13, this dance show featured routine after routine with imaginative choreography done by students exhibiting energy while wearing costumes appropriate to the routine. And all of this was done with music blasting through the Glenn Ward Hall, adding a robust audio energy to the whole performance. And whether it was the somewhat forboding “Edward Scissorhands” routine with the dancers displaying scissor-like hands or whether it
was the playful “Play Ball” routine, complete with baseball bats and uniforms, routine after routine galvanized the attention of the audience. These routines happened one after another, with very little down time between the routines. Indeed, the first half of the program, with 12 individual routines, was completed in 35 minutes. It was that smoothly presented! The dancing varied with the routines. There was jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop and musical theatre as all genres were displayed. There was also all grade levels presented, from grade 9 tap to grade 10 jazz to grade 11 hip hop to grade 12 lyrical. There was something for everyone. Some of the routines were choreographed and performed by students. Grade 12 students choreographed and performed “Lose Control,” “International,” “Dark Paradise” and “Voodoo.”
Students Alicia Palmer and Jessica Bedard choreographed and performed “Just Give Me A Reason” while student Elizabeth Cathcart cho-
reographed and performed the routine “Fresh.” Student Sam Ridge performed the routine “A Thousands Years” alone on stage.

Consultations about planning - but OMB staying Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Abolishing the Ontario Municipal Board is not on the table during province-wide consultations on land-use planning, according to the minister of municipal affairs. The province may also looking to tighten up requirements for how municipalities plan the use of land within their boundaries, but additional funding to accomplish that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be forthcoming, Minister Linda Jeffrey said during a recent consultation held at Carleton University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, this is their job. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their job to keep their land-use plans up to date and to reflect community values,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Jeffrey, minister of municipal affairs and housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is about a priority setting of a municipal council,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that many Ontario municipalities do keep their plans up to date. Improving land-use planning doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be expensive, Jeffrey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the regular conversation you have on land-use planning all the time across Ontario and I think if you just set it as a priority and you put the work in at the front end, you end up paying less and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save on legal fees,â&#x20AC;? she said. The city might be cheered by what is on the table: potential changes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;accountability and transparency measuresâ&#x20AC;? for development charges: the amount of money that can be charged to homebuilders and new home buyers to help pay for infra-
structure needed to service the new residences. But the consultations will not look at changing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;growth pays for growthâ&#x20AC;? principle used to calculate the charge for developments. People wishing to learn more or submit comments can visit ontario.ca/landuseplanning and email planningconsultation@ contario.ca. Much of the conversations had by small working groups at the consultation centered on public education and engagement in the land-use planning process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before specific development proposals become contentious. Paul Moreau, the director of property and development for the Country of Renfrew, said citizens need to get engaged in land-use issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the system falls down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Residents) need to understand why they are getting that notice â&#x20AC;Ś The light bulb doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go off. If they know what it means, they will become more engaged.â&#x20AC;? Others, including Tom McVeigh, president of the Centretown Citizens Community Association, pointed out that community groups sense many consultations seem to have a predetermined outcome and their comments wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a difference. Jim Sova of Loyalist Township said the province needs to find a way to compensate for the relative advantage developers have over citizens because the corporations understand how the process works â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or can hire people who do.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community time is different than project time,â&#x20AC;? Ottawa resident Martin Canning offered, in the same vein. That mirrored what Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi has heard from his constituents, including during a consultation he held last year to get feedback and idea for potentially reforming the OMB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with a happier population because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re knowledgeable and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re educated about the landuse planning process and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not intimidated by it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to feel comfortable about understanding the process and participating.â&#x20AC;? That should extend to applications for individual developments, too, Naqvi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure there is robust discussion between the developer and the local neighbours,â&#x20AC;? he said. Judy Flavin, an Ottawa city planner who participated in the sessions, shared a similar view. She pointed out that the province requires municipal planners like her to pre-consult with developers before they submit an application, but no similar pre-consultation is required with neighbouring residents. Developers also took part in this consultation. Local lawyer Alan Cohen said the city and communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; portrayals of developers as â&#x20AC;&#x153;evilâ&#x20AC;? are not productive. John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Homebuilders Association, said fostering a better public understanding of how the land-use planning sys-

News - Home security inspections allow community members to make their homes less susceptible to criminal activity. At the request of a homeowner, Ottawa Police Service representatives visit the home to provide a safety audit. This involves assessing ways to make a home safer from criminal activity. The audit is based on a checklist and participants are provided with a booklet that identifies safety improvements, provides crime prevention tips and promotes other crime prevention initiatives offered by
the Ottawa Police Service. To arrange a free home security inspection,
tem works would help reduce that strife. Feedback on what to do with the Ontario Municipal Board wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as cut-and-dry, Naqvi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a very clear consensus in that community dialog that abolishing OMB is not going to solve the problem,â&#x20AC;? Naqvi said of his consultation held last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just getting rid of the OMB is not going to solve the problem because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to end up in front of the courts, which takes longer and is more costly to communities.â&#x20AC;? Participants in Naqviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sessions favoured retaining some type of expert panel, whether at the local or provincial level, would still be needed to adjudicate disputes, he said. Herbert said the homebuildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association would like to see disputes over minor zoning variances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which make up 38 per cent of the files the OMB processes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; considered by a different body. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rulings should be restricted to highlevel policy documents, Herbert said. A number of other participants agreed on further possible restrictions to what cases should be allowed to be appealed to the OMB. Appealing entire official plans (instead of picking out the offending part) should be banned, some participants said. Others argued there should be higher fees for developers who want to appeal to the board. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to say what any changes to planning, development charges or even the OMB might look like, Jeffrey said.
In Richmond, many of you may have noticed that the sidewalks along the bridge on McBean Street are not getting plowed by the sidewalk plow. Over the last several years, the sidewalks have been deteriorating and the edges have been breaking away. This has led to a situation in which our sidewalk plow barely ďŹ ts on the road and runs the risk of tipping over. Therefore, the operator has been plowing up to the bridge, then going on the road, avoiding the bridge sidewalk, and resuming on the other side of the bridge. This bridge is slated for repairs in the coming years and budget money has been identiďŹ ed for those repairs, but not until 2016 or 2017. Infrastructure Services management are looking to see what can be done short term and perhaps we can even move up the repairs because of the advanced deterioration. In the meantime, our roads crews will stay on top of it and use other means of clearing those sidewalks to provide safe pedestrian access across the bridge. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this issue throughout the winter.

Impaired driving numbers too high, police say City operating and capital budgets OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d (MADD) launched the 2013-2014 Festive RIDE program recently with a checkpoint at the highway 417 eastbound on-ramp at Eagleson Road in Kanata. The RIDE campaign has been running in the weeks leading up to Christmas and will continue until the beginning of January. Insp. Springer of the OPP said that despite the efforts of most not to drive impaired, the number of those who do is still too high. In the 2012-2013 Festive RIDE season, the Ottawa Police Services laid three impaired driving charges and issues six license suspensions to those who registered between .05 and .08 blood alcohol concentration. Last year in Eastern Ontario the OPP charged 95 people with impaired driving and 86 drivers were given three-day sus-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival RIDE campaign is one of thanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right before the season starts, we want to thank everyone for not drinking and driving,â&#x20AC;? said Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Insp. Dave Springer at the recent kick-off for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festive RIDE season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to thank the people that have taken the time and effort to make sure that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink and drive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then we want to tell the people that are going to decide to drink and drive, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking for you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he added in his comments.

So far this year, OPP officers in Eastern Ontario have charged about 850 people with impaired driving. He noted that the OPP alone will see over 1,000 impaired drivers this year, adding that the OPP has had multiple fatalities this year resulting from alcohol consumption and driving. These deaths have involved not only the drivers but also innocent people struck by these drivers. Police have also seen a rise in motorists driving under the influence of drugs. Trained officers will also be looking for this at the RIDE checkpoints this Christmas season.

News - A battle over accused â&#x20AC;&#x153;queue jumpingâ&#x20AC;? for a sidewalk in Alta Vista ward was almost the only item that stood between the proposed 2014 city budget and its speedy council approval at the recent meeting at which it was discussed and approved. Councillors quibbled over the $1.4-million expense to add sidewalks and street lights to Lynda Lane, a street near the Ottawa hospital campus that visitors to the hospital often use for parking. Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, Mayor Jim Watson and deputy city manager Nancy Schepers insisted the project has been in their radar and was only left out of the budget due to a clerical error. Other councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, questioned why the project was coming back out of the blue after council made a decision to take it out of the budget in 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like queue jumping to me,â&#x20AC;? Deans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little hard to understand how it gets walked onto the floor of the budget at the last minute.â&#x20AC;? Hume said the project was taken out of the budget to find savings but it was supposed to be put back in this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had to be delayed because we needed money to provide that taxpayer relief,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since that time, it has been waiting patiently to receive its budget allocation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of these items that slipped between the cracks, plain and simple,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said. Councillors eventually voted to approve adding the Lynda Lane project into the budget. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes wanted to see the city put more money into day programs that provide food for low-income residents after hearing from groups that said they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide nutritious foods on such a tight budget allocation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may as well eat wallpaper,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said of the nutritional value of â&#x20AC;&#x153;white crackersâ&#x20AC;? groups said they hand out to clients. Community and protective services committee chairman Coun. Mark Taylor said he and deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos have already met with Holmes to discuss a long-term solution for the issue, especially since day program are not the only city-funded services that offer food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The choice we have is to feel good and deal with the individual agencies or look at a broader policy,â&#x20AC;? Kanellakos said. Upfront funding for capital investments like freezers that would allow agencies to store foods could be part of the solution, he added. Not much else changed since the city tabled its proposed $2.6 billion operating and $359.2 million capital works budget in Oct. Homeowners in the Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban area will see an average increase of $62 on their city tax bill in 2014, while the increase for the average rural homeowner is about $55 for the city portion. That 1.9 per cent increase is the smallest municipal taxrate increase in seven years and came in just under city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-imposed cap of two per cent. It will see a number of freezes continue: recreation fees and garbage fees wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rise and neither will councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office budgets or the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary. The final year of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa on the Moveâ&#x20AC;? road project program will see $340 million worth of road resurfacing and rebuilds. The city will put $2 million into cycling infrastructure and another $750,000 towards improving pedestrian infrastructure to key destinations. The city wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take on additional debt level beyond what it currently carries, which puts Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit rating in very good standing, Watson said. During the council meeting where the budget for 2014 was approved, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt questioned sharp increases in fees for the committee of adjustment, which decides on minor zoning variances. City staffer Phil Brown said the one-time hikes are needed to cope with increasing staffing needs but will increase with the rate of inflation in future years.

Lincoln’s MKC Moves from Concept to Production by Brian Turner
Lincoln marked another milestone recently in its journey to compete decisively in the prestige and luxury market with the all-new 2015 MKC SPV (Small Premium Utility Vehicle). The Lincoln design team faced the dual challenge of meeting the ever-changing demands of younger luxury vehicle consumers while further defining the Lincoln design DNA. The MKC Concept, which was revealed to the public at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, introduced a uniquely crafted wraparound lift-gate, a design feature that carried over to the production model. Its side-cut design gives MKC an uninterrupted rear-view to epitomize elegance, while its hands-free feature is another example of Lincoln’s commitment to build customer-friendly vehicles. Those aspirations also carry through to the interior, where the merging of craftsmanship and technology combine to offer a warm, luxurious environment. Featuring an architecturally unique instrument panel that showcases Lincoln’s signature push-button gear shifter, MKC creates an open, welcoming interior. Inviting leathers and available Bridge of Weir leather and real-wood trim accentuate
MKC’s elegance and grace. “We gave attention to every detail to convey a stylish, luxurious vehicle,” said Soo Kang, Lincoln interior design chief. “The structure of the interior allows for openness, and that space contributes to the overall ambience. We want this vehicle to not only meet but often exceed the expectations of the new Lincoln customer.” “We’re confident we’ve created an allnew vehicle that will attract new customers to the brand while meeting the expectations of long-time Lincoln drivers,” said Max Wolff, director, Lincoln Design. “The execution of the new liftgate is a prime example of how a signature premium design element can create a better customer experience.” In the 2015 MKC, Lincoln will introduce a series of customer-focused comfort features they call ‘Lincoln Experiences’. Systems such as ‘Approach Detection’ will allow the MKC to respond to an approaching owner (identified by the key in his or her possession) and illuminate the ground near the doors and in the outer door handle pockets for easier and safer entry. A communication system will allow drivers to interact with the vehicle remotely using the
smart phone-enabled MyLincoln Mobile app. An embedded modem on each vehicle communicates with the app which allows owners to start, lock, unlock and locate the vehicle. Drivers also can use the app to perform a variety of other functions such as place a call for roadside assistance; monitor the vehicle’s fuel level; check the tire pressure and battery status; and program engine start times. .“Lincoln Experiences are about creating a warm, personal driving experience every time a Lincoln owner approaches their vehicle,” said Matt VanDyke, Director, Global Lincoln. “Today’s premium car buyer is more demanding than ever. Our goal is to create vehicles that not only meet those evolving demands, but exceed them and redefine what the luxury car-buying and driving experience should be.” Production of the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2014 at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Ky. Vehicles will begin arriving to Lincoln dealerships next summer. Canadian pricing has been announced, starting at $39,940.

Christmas open house at West End Music John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was called a Christmas open house, publicized on the exterior sign at West End Music on Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville. But it was more of a combined jam session/ open stage event in which West End Music students dropped in sometime during the event’s 12 noon to 3 p.m. time slot on Saturday, Dec. 14 and performed for an audience of parents, fellow students and others. Some performed with the accompaniment of West End Music teachers but others performed on their own, like singer Nika Prairie or the father/daughter duo of Mike Sankey and Margo Sankey. And while Christmas was the theme of some of the musical presentations, the songs were not by any means restricted to that theme and varied widely in this open house. Eleven year old Katie Alsford, accompanied by her teacher Danika Ellson on guitar, sang “Last Christmas” (you know, the song that goes “Last Christmas I gave you my heart/But the very next day you gave it away”), a song that was originally recorded in 1984 by the British pop duo “Wham!” after being written by
George Michael. Since then, it has been recorded by numerous artists including Hilary Duff, Carrie Underwood, Carole King, Coldplay and Taylor Swift. But Jim Moore, a Stittsville chiropractor who takes vocal instruction at West End Music, accompanying himself on guitar (he says that guitar lessons are next up on his list), sang “Behind Blue Eyes,” the 1971 song first made famous by the English rock band The Who and followed it up with his version of “Try,” the 1987 hit song by Blue Rodeo. Ten year old Margo Sankey awed everyone when she sang a song that she composed herself, “Caught in a Spider’s Web.” She was accompanied in her performance by her father Mike Sankey on guitar and not just on any guitar but on one that he himself had made as that’s what he does – makes guitars. This is just one musical family as 11 year old Lola Sankey also sang at the event, performing what she termed a very “un-Christmassy” song, accompanied by West End Music teacher Danika Ellson on guitar. This is how this open house/jam session/ open stage event went – no set order of performance, just an informal afternoon of student performances. There was also a table of goodies including
donuts for the performers and visitors to enjoy during their visit to West End Music. West End Music is located on the east side of Stittsville Main Street, just south of Orville Street. It offers music lessons to those of all
ages including guitar, piano, drums and vocal. For more information about West End Music and its instructional programs, please contact owner Bjorn Nielsen at 613-831-1216 or via email at bjorn@westendmusicschool.com.

Outdoor Christmas concert at St. Stephen’s Susan Scott Special to the News
St. Stephen Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street held its first-ever outdoor Christmas concert at the school on Thursday, Dec. 12, complete with an outdoor lighted stage, bonfires, a sleigh ride and a pizza party inside the gymnasium. Despite the cold weather, everyone was able to warm up with a combination of Christmas cheer and the complimentary hot chocolate that was available. Even Santa Claus paid a visit to the event. The St. Stephen school community collected 500 canned or non-perishable goods for the school’s food drive on the evening of this outdoor Christmas concert. This added to the
over 1,500 canned/non-perishable goods that had been collected in the week leading up to the evening of the Christmas concert. Besides this food drive, the school also received on the evening of the Christmas concert donations of toys in support of Toy Mountain and also collected items for the school’s Stocking Stuffer Collection. Thanks go to the staff and volunteers at the school for planning and hosting such a Christmas season evening for the school community. As one parent commented, “It was magical!” The school would like to thank the members of its Parent Council as well as Stittsville Sobeys, Giant Tiger, Lowes, Cavanagh Construction, Trillium Tree Service and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri for their donations toward the event.

News - Main Street Community Services in Stittsville provides services for children and youth with special needs and their families. They are provided in a unique, caring way. But this not-forprofit registered charity would not be able to do what it does were it not for the generosity of the community. That’s because Main Street Community Services depends heavily on fundraising to carry on its programs and services. Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Outdoor performances Continued from page 32
Admission to this “Christmas in Stittsville” celebration, the school’s first, was donation of a non-perishable food item for the Stittsville Food Bank. But these “inside” activities were only part of the story. The other “world,” as it were, was outside where the Cavanagh Construction stage was set up in the minus seven degree weather as students provided over an hour and a half of singing performances, all with a Christmas theme. So you got to hear from various classes songs such as “Do They Know It’s Christmas,” “We are Santa’s Elves,” “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” “Petit Garcon,” “Quand Le Pere Noel,” “Up On The Housetop,” “Man With the Bag,” “Away in a Manger,” “Mary’s Boy Child,” “Jolly Old St. Nicholas,” “We Need A Little Christmas,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Must Be Santa,” “Jingle Jingle,” “Be A Santa,” “Noel Blanc,” “Keep Christmas With You,” “Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and “I Saw Santa Praying.” But this stage entertainment was not all that was happening outside. There were sleight rides and a bonfire to enjoy. The schoolyard was also decorated with lighted Christmas trees spotted around the yard and powered thanks to the cooperation of neighbouring homeowners who extended power cords from their homes to the trees. Principal Bob Santos, in his remarks at the beginning of the outdoor stage performances, noted the generosity of numerous community businesses which responded to the school’s requests for assistance in putting on this “Christmas in Stittsville” celebration. In addition, school staff and parent volunteers helped out in many ways to make the event possible.

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The Christmas concerts at the Northcote School usually went off without a hitch -- Miss Crosby saw to that. For the entire month of December, we had rehearsals every day after school. Never could we miss even a minute of our studies. Oh no, not with Miss Crosby. That meant it was getting dark by the time we walked the five-and-a-half kilometre trek back home. Every last pupil had to take part. It didn’t matter if you had a voice like a crow, you sang in the choir. If you were so shy you couldn’t say your name out loud, you had a part in the Nativity scene anyway. The program for the concert rarely varied. The parents who crowded into the Northcote School to see their children perform could count on a repeat of the year before. That is, all except that one year when everything that could go wrong, went wrong. We had rehearsed until we knew our lines backwards and forwards. The tree was up in the corner, and the school room had been scrubbed from top to bottom. Christmas messages were written on the blackboards, the desks had been piled in the cloak room, and chairs had been moved in from the United Church. We pupils were to be at the school early, with our parents arriving in time for the concert. Well, as soon as we got to school, there was trouble brewing. First of all, the mice had eaten all the popcorn balls off the Christmas tree on Friday night, so all that was left for decoration was the wisps of silver tinsel Miss Crosby brought from home each year, and the coloured paper stars each pupil made. Of course, there was no piano in the school, so that year Miss Crosby had Three-Mile Herman’s parents bring in their crank-up Victrola, and from someone else she scrounged a record of Silent Night. The record was as big as a meat platter, and since ThreeMile Herman knew how to get the music out of the Victrola, he was to make it work at the appropriate time in the concert. The appropriate time was when the Nativity scene was coming to a close, and just before Santa was to burst through the back door. Marguirite, as usual, was an angel. After she had complained loud and long that she was tired of being a sheep, Miss Crosby had let her wear a handmade silver halo like Velma and me in order to keep the peace among the students. My sister Audrey was again the Virgin Mary, which didn’t please Cora one bit. Finally, the parents were crammed into the school, the old stove was belting out the heat, you couldn’t see out the windows for the steam off bodies, and the bad smell of overshoes and
Memorable Christmas concert
gum rubbers hung in the room like a cloud. The first thing that happened to put a damper on the concert was when big Emma grabbed a hold of the make-shift curtain (just a group of flour bag sheets hung on chicken wire to separate the performers from the audience) to stop herself from falling, and the entire stage-curtain came down like a cloud wafting from the sky. Someone got a ladder from the cloak room, and it was hammered back up and the concert was ready to begin. Miss Crosby got us through the singing numbers, and what passed for a pantomime, and the Nativity scene was about to begin. Someone turned down the oil lamps on cue, and ThreeMile Herman got the nod from Miss Crosby to start cranking the Victrola. Somehow, someone brought the wrong record, and we were listening to a high screechy voice belting out a song from the First World War. Three-Mile Herman never missed a beat, and kept turning the handle on the side of the Victrola and we continued on with the Nativity scene as if that was the music we had rehearsed with all along, even though none of us, except Three-Mile Herman, had ever heard the record before. The concert finally came to a close, and after thunderous applause from the parents, the entire school room of 18 pupils, sat on the floor at the front to await Santa Claus, who was supposedly standing out in the cold waiting to be let in. Uncle Alec Thom got up and went to the door, and Santa in all his glory flew in, ringing a set of bells on a piece of rein, exactly like our horse King wore, and just about knocked Uncle Alec for a loop. He careened into the classroom, and immediately sat right on the knee of the first woman in the back row. She let out a war-whoop and with a mighty shove, pushed him to the floor, where it took three strapping men to right him. It was obvious to everyone that Santa had been into something stronger than green tea. By this time the heat in the crowded little oneroom school house was bouncing off the walls. Uncle Alec, my father and a couple other men got Santa into a chair at the back of the room, and within minutes he was sound asleep and snoring loud enough to wake the dead. Miss Crosby ended up handing out the Christmas presents herself, a few of the mothers passed around cookies, and the Christmas concert came to a close for another year. Someone drove Santa home in his own cutter, and the talk around Northcote for weeks on end was about all the excitement at the school that cold winter’s night.
HELLO I AM “RUSTY” The photo does not do justice to my color I am so handsomely brilliantly red... I pop out from the crowd. They say RED cats have it easy... every one wants one since we are laid back, sweet and easy going... I am all of that, BUT so far no one wanted me... I would love to have you as my family and if you have another feline resident that is good too because I love other cats and be a friend to them. Come and see me... I KNOW YOU WILL LOVE ME. What they say is true... we are special in the personality department. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

Special to the News
Lifestyle - This mildly spicy dinner is super easy and much more economical than take out. Serve with rice. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves two. Ingredients * 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil * Six boneless skinless chicken thighs or two boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks * Pinch each salt and pepper * Half small onion, thinly sliced * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 15 ml (1 tbsp) Thai red curry paste * 1 can (400 mL) light coconut milk * 1 lime * 10 ml (2 tsp) fish sauce * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) granulated sugar * 1 Sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 centimetre (1/2-inch) pieces * 250 ml (1 cup) sliced mushrooms * Chopped fresh coriander
Special to the News
News - The generosity of some Stittsville businesses, organizations and residents is making Christmas a happier time for residents of Norwood House, a halfway house run by the Elizabeth Fry Society. The 15 women who live at Norwood House are just recently released from prison and as a result, they have little in their lives and often seem to be forgotten. Thanks to a number of Stittsville businesses, organizations and residents, these ladies are receiving Christmas care packages this year. It was the idea of Louise Beggs of Stittsville who with her dog Yoshi visits Norwood House each Thursday morning to chat with the ladies there. On the spur of the moment a couple of weeks ago, she decided to give these ladies a few things for Christmas so that they would know that someone cared about then. She then thought about asking some local businesses and groups to help out by giving a few small items. The response was positive and everyone came through by giving even more than Louise had hoped. The generosity and kindness of the Stittsville community shone through. Those who provided items for these Christmas gift packages for Norwood House included Shoppers Drug Mart, McDonalds, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger and Tim Hortons as well as the Holy Spirit Catholic Women’s League and the Stittsville Food Bank. There were also donations from individuals. SUBMITTED Louise and her son Ben spent a day wrapping Louise Beggs of Stittsville is with the Christmas gift bags that she and preparing these Christmas gift bags which delivered to Norwood House, a halfway house run by the Elisabeth Fry Louise then delivered directly to each of the Society, just before Christmas. women at Norwood House last week.
Preparation In a large wide saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it’s golden all over -- about five minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and more oil to pan if necessary and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s slightly softened, about three minutes. Add the curry paste and stir until the mixture is fragrant -about 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk to the pan. Remove a couple of wide strips of peel from the lime and add to the pan along with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of lime juice. Add the fish sauce and sugar, and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan along with the sweet potato and mushrooms. Stir, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, about 15 minutes. Stir in another 15 ml (1 tbsp) lime juice. Sprinkle with coriander.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up, doc, around village of Stittsville? News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This coming Sunday, Dec. 29 will see the Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish host a family party in the parish hall following the 10:30 a.m. mass that day. It will include hot dogs and snacks for youngsters as well as a family movie shown on a big screen. It is being held because this particular Sunday between Christmas and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the Feast of the Holy Family.

News - As a separate municipality from 1850 to 1974, Richmond was not part of Goulbourn’s School Section system but it did have a school. Indeed, the first school in Carleton County was in Richmond with the schoolhouse being built in 1820 by the British government which also supplied two teachers from England at a cost of 50 pounds a year. Richmond continued to have a school throughout the 19th century. It was a Union School, with students coming not only from the village of Richmond but also from adjacent areas of both Goulbourn and Nepean. In 1895, a new combined public and high school was built, a two storey frame building on Cockburn Street at a cost of $7,500. Elementary school classes were held on the first floor while high school classes were taught on
the second floor. This frame building burned down in 1924 and was replaced with a new brick school which handled both the elementary and high or Continuation School classes. While the new school was being built, classes were held in the Richmond town hall and in the village’s Orange Hall. The brick building built in 1924 still forms the core structure of the present-day Richmond Public School. In 1948, a high school board was formed and in 1952, the new South Carleton High School serving a wide area from South March to Manotick to North Gower was opened. Richmond Public School has had both an addition and a gymnasium added to it over the years. St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond was established in 1960, with subsequent additions including a gymnasium being added. In 2013,

Schools in village of Richmond
a $1.5 million project saw an addition and major renovations undertaken as part of the introduction of full day kindergarten at the school. New library space and a renovated entrance and office space were part of the project. Continuation Schools existed for short periods of time in both Ashton and Stittsville. The Ashton Continuation School, housed in a small frame building, operated from 1905 to 1910. The Stittsville Continuation School, located near Poole Creek, was in operation in 1905. How long it operated is not known. One of the traditional activities of the oneroom schoolhouses throughout Goulbourn, as in other areas, was participation in a School Fair at the local agricultural fair.
