Jack Todd is doubling his output to focus on the Canadiens, while Albert Kramberger is keeping his eye on the West Island for readers.
This week, we introduced two new columns from two familiar faces.
Starting yesterday and running every Thursday, Albert Kramberger will be keeping his thumb on the pulse of the West Island in his new news column. If it matters to West Islanders, it matters to Albert. This will be in addition to our news desk’s continuing coverage of West Island news.

One of Albert’s first stories for the us was the dispute between then-Dorval mayor Edgar Rouleau and Batshaw Youth and Family Centres over whether a proposed renovation would result in there being a prison on Dawson Ave.
That was Feb. 25, 2010.
I’m also extremely happy that Jack Todd will be writing a second column, to run Fridays, in which he will focus on the Habs news of the week, running it through his inimitable and sometimes irritable filter.
Jack’s been around even longer.
His first story for us, in the Aug. 1, 1986 edition, made the front page, with this as the top of the second graph: “For three hours now, we’ve been buzzing around southern California like drunken bees on a sunflower crawl.”
They don’t make ’em like that anymore. But that doesn’t matter because we’ve got the original, now twice a week, only in the Montreal Gazette.
