This Christmas there will be an astronomical phenomenon that has not occurred for the past 800 years. Today, Jupiter and Saturn will come into such close alignment that they will appear to be a unit, calling to mind the story of the Christmas star. The day the Christmas star will appear happens to be the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice, which is the day of the year when the North Pole is tilted the furthest away from the sun. This is also the shortest and darkest day of the year for those of us living in this hemisphere.

The Grinch, in Regina Dr. Seuss wrote classics like If I Ran the Zoo (1950), Horton Hears a Who! (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). He published over 60 books during his career, which have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, five feature films, a Broadway musical, and four television series. The Regina Cyclone, or Regina tornado, was a t...ornado that devastated the city of Regina on Sunday, June 30, 1912. It remains the deadliest tornado in Canadian history with a total of 28 fatalities. The storm damaged the Metropolitan Methodist Church, [the Knox Presbyterian Church, the First Methodist,] the library, the YWCA [and YMCA], and numerous other downtown buildings. The only remaining "souvenir" of this event is different-coloured bricks on the north wall of Regina's Knox-Metropolitan United Church - at the time was the Metropolitan Methodist Church which shows where the wall collapsed and was rebuilt. English actor William Henry Pratt was in Regina at the time of the tornado as a member of the Jeanne Russell Players. The Jeanne Russell Players disbanded in Regina a day before the tornado struck, leaving Pratt stranded and broke. Following the tornado, he worked clearing debris for twenty cents an hour and was later employed in Regina by the Dominion Express Company. He remained in Regina until October 1912. Pratt acted in eighty movies before being cast in a leading role in the horror film Frankenstein . In the mid-1960s, he enjoyed a late-career surge when he narrated a made-for-television animated film and also provided the voice of the main character. As many actors did in the early 1900’s William Henry Pratt used a stage name for his work. William Pratt’s voice is unmistakable and I’m sure you have almost heard him every year say; How Could It be So? It came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas he thought, means a little bit more. Yes, the actor who once help cleaned the streets of Regina after the Cyclone of 1912, was of course none other than Boris Karloff.

The Mayfair *sound on* www.nicorcommunitymanagement.ca Everybody knows the Cathedral District name. The Cathedral area was one of the earliest and most affluent residential neighbourhoods to be developed in the city. In 1913, Holy Rosary Cathedral was built on 13th Avenue, and this is where the area got its name.... The Cathedral area is a 235 hectare residential area located immediately to the west of Regina’s downtown. Boundaries of the neighbourhood include Albert Street on the east, Wascana Creek to the south and west, and the CPR mainline on the north. While the area is primarily residential, commercial businesses are found on the north and eastern boundaries, as well as along the 13th Avenue shopping district. The district also houses some of Regina’s most historic buildings. See more
