Ryna Fontaine Mathieu 1940 - 2009.

On the front page of last week's edition of the QCT, in a piece entitled "CQSB to change catchment area for Saint-Augustin, Cap Rouge," we mistakenly reported that changes would be made to several CQSB catchment areas. In fact, no such changes have been made, nor are there plans to do so. Catchment areas for the coming year will remain identical to those in effect this past year.

Red Bull Crashed Ice (Translation: An accident waiting to happen)

We're talking here of the event with the ungrammatical name. An event the preparations for which can tie up an entire chosen section of our city for at least a month. This year the section chosen was Cote de la Montagne.

Result: one-way traffic along la Cote (for cars) and awkward walking (for pedestrians).

The members of the 13th annual Community Christmas Hamper Campaign Committee would like to express their deep gratitude to community members for their ongoing support and enthusiastic participation in what is truly a community holiday celebration of collective goodwill. Thank you for helping us to reach our financial goal of $20,000.

Two-hundred and fifty years ago last Sunday, Scotland's favourite son, the poet Robbie Burns, was born. True to tradition, the English- and French-speaking communities -- among them a countless number of Scots -- celebrated the birth of Scotland's national hero with the Burns Supper on Saturday evening at the Quebec Garrison Club.

Science touches every aspect of our lives and students at Quebec High School were able to demonstrate that theme at this year's annual school-wide science fair, held last Monday.

The Morning Telegraph

The Old Fellow and I have reached a stage in life where we are pondering our next course of action with regard to our living arrangements. We have been living in our little house for over 47 years and we are wondering whether to stay put or move on.

Six teams faced off in a three game tournament with the Lions being challenged by the Pittsburgh Enforcers, the Jamestown Jets and the Philadelphia Thunder. More importantly, it was a brutally disputed schedule in which the players from Saint Lawrence were forced to play 3 games in less than 18 hours.

During a press conference, yesterday morning at the Musée national des beaux arts du Quebec, its newly appointer director Esther Trépanier presented the most interesting 2009 program of exhibitions most of which will surely enrich the public's understanding of modernism.

It was springtime in Quebec. One of those sunsplashed early mornings that invariably called me to be up and walking. Before long I found myself exploring the Old City.
