At times I stood on a stool pointing a flashlight into a tank as Bill, a retired U of S professor, gave me an overview of Fish 101. Bill and the other 70 members of the Saskatoon Aquarium Society are preparing for their show on Oct. 12-13. Details are on Page 20. IT WAS NICE seeing Kurt Dahl last week. Kurt is the drummer for One Bad Son, my favourite band. (Note: I hope that doesn’t make them less popular.) One Bad Son took time out from its cross-Canada tour to appears at Long & McQuade where they promoted Gibson guitars, played a couple of songs, autographed CDs and mingled with their fans. We featured Kurt on these pages about a year ago. It is great to see him and his bandmates — Shane Volk, Adam Hicks and Adam Grant — having such success. They will be playing at the Odeon on Oct. 13. They will also be part of the Grey Cup festivities in Regina. I think it is time a Juno nomination came their way. Yes, they are that good.

Keeping the faith Holy Cross celebrates 50 years, adds to Wall of Fame
S
askatoon’s Holy Cross High School is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week. And quite appropriately, it is honouring four more of its graduates on the school’s Wall of fame. Newly named are David Dubé for business leadership and philanthropy, Maureen Haberstock (nee Costello) for distinction in military medical service, Father Stefano Penna for religious and academic service, and Ryan Riehl for participation on the National Adaptive water ski team. The Wall of Fame idea came from Rick Murza, a teacher at the school for 36 years. He saw a wall at Bedford Road and another one in Regina, and he believed it would People be a tremendous way to honour graduates and establish them as inspirational examples for those who followed. “I took the idea to Dave Hardy, who was our principal, and since it was the millennium year he wanted to fly with it.” Since 2000 the list has grown steadily. It includes such people as Olympic champions Mike Babcock (hockey) and Catriona Le May Doan (speed skating), world champions Corrina Kennedy (kayaking) and Jean Pierre Seguin (fencing), oboist Mark McEwen (the Boston Symphony Orchestra), Fr. Les Paquin (who served twice in Brazil) and Dr. Marie Skinnider, who was part of the Doctors Without Borders movement which was honoured in 1999 with the Nobel Peace Prize. Fifty years is reason enough to throw a party, and there will be some among them who will remember the school’s rather humble beginnings. Sharon Hill (nee Schneider) was there when the first Holy Cross students went to classrooms at nearby elementary school (St. Charles) in 1963-64, and she was there

when the new facility on Taylor Street sat amidst a sea of mud. “The streets weren’t yet paved, and there were no sidewalks anywhere east of where Walter Murray Collegiate was located,” said Hill. There were three teachers (Fr. James Mahoney, Sister Victoria and Sister Maria) during the year at St. Charles, eight the next year, 18 the following year and 24 during Wilson’s graduation year of 1968. Athletic teams and clubs were developed as the student population grew. “It was a neat experience being part of those first classes. Because of our small population we had to get involved in many different things,” said Hill. She remembers Fr. Mahoney (soon afterwards to become bishop of Saskatoon) as “an incredible teacher, who taught most of us Latin and mathematics. He was an engaging personality, very funny, but he could turn the mood of the class on a dime. He was our principal on Nov. 22, 1963, the day American president John F. Kennedy was shot. Most schools didn’t see it a reason for a holiday, but he sent us all home for the afternoon.”
Vanessa Monar Enweani had never participated in track until she attended Holy Cross. “I was a nervous Grade 9 student who came from Clavet and hardly knew anyone. But what a wonderful experience it turned out to be,” said Monar Enweani. “I liked the high jump, long jump and sprinting. Maybe I had a natural affinity for the jumps because of the strong legs I developed in eight years of dance lessons. Dave Elder was the coach, the heart and soul of our program, and as athletes we made it our own.” She won nine medals at the high school provincials, with four gold in her 1986-87 graduating year, including records in both the senior girls’ long jump and triple jump. It was a stepping stone for international success which continued through 2001 — three trips to the World University Games, one to the Francophone Games, another to the Commonwealth Games and then both the world championships and the PanAmerican Games in 1999.

Vic Karwacki joined the Holy Cross staff in 1964, served there until 1986, went to E.D. Feehan as principal for eight years and helped bring St. Joseph’s High School on stream. “There were eight classrooms the first year in the new building, but no one remembers much except the mud. That year I think four of our boys went downtown to play football for St. Paul’s. The spiritual dimension was always important in everything we did,” said Karwacki. Lorne Ehman, Bill Loran, Doug Nordick, Hardy, Dennis Dorgan and Ben Garchinski have also been principals. The student population is now at 1,137. That number will increase since the school is being renovated with upgraded classrooms, new areas for home economics and industrial arts (January), and a new gymnasium (fall of 2014). Students always seemed poised to strive for excellence. Once established, Holy Cross became almost automatic city champions in track and field. Because of the school’s leadership, Saskatoon has perennially won the Saskatchewan team championship.

front-line Canadian blues artist, remembered going to a first jazz band rehearsal in Grade 9. “There was no bassist and a lonely bass sat there potentially for the playing. Mr. England gave his approval for me to play it. Little did he know — or I — that I would eventually go on to earn a part of my musical living as a bassist.” Peter England, who taught music for 29 years at the school and arranged band trips (including one to Expo 86 in Vancouver), often brought clinicians to the school. Many of his students became music professionals. “Mr. England was strict, but efficient and fair and kept his door open to all the music students. We didn’t always see eye to eye. I was pretty stubborn. I’m very grateful to him for his patience and all the endless hours he put in to make sure his students came away with a strong music education (with a few life lessons thrown in for good measure),” said Vinnick. The Roman Catholic experience prevailed, and it is not surprising that 13 entered religious life or priesthood. Sister Bonnie Komarnicki took her vows in 1992 with Sister Servants of Mary. Sister ReAnne Letourneau took her vows in 1994 with the Sisters of Presentation of Mary. Sister Gloria Darbellay took her vows in 1998 and Sister Helen Yalbir in
2009, both with Regum Christi. Those who ordained as priests were Les Paquin and Stefano Penna in 1986, Murray Chatlain in 1987, Gerard Cooper in 1998, Mark Blom in 2002, Pius Schroh and Michael Smolinski in 2003, Andre Lalach in 2005 and Geoff Young in 2011. Chatlain became the archbishop of Keewatin-Le Pas this year. Fr. Paquin’s service was marked by two trips to Brazil, the first from 1996 to 2002, and the second from 2006 to 2008. “When I went back in 2006 it was turning back the clock 20 years — illiteracy and domination by sugar-cane mill owners. The big difference I saw the second time was the increase in violence, many more murders, the danger of going out for a walk at night, drug use, more corruption and failure of the water system,” he said. “Yet there was still joy, warmth and earthiness in the people, incredible hope and faith, the times we’d celebrate festive occasions or land reform,” said Fr. Paquin, who because of health issues, stays in Saskatoon and will probably never see Brazil again. Celebrations begin Oct. 11, with a Crusader Cabaret at the school and a football game as an option. Functions at the school Oct. 12 include school tours at 9:30 a.m., greetings at 11:20 a.m., and a coffee house at 12:30. Many students will arrange their own class parties on Saturday night.

A twirl of difference Saskatonians put time, heart into dresses for Columbian orphans Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express
T
he moment is etched in Clair Ziolkowski’s mind. The Saskatoon man was in Zambia as a representative of The Gideons International in Canada when girls at an orphanage began trying on brightly-coloured cotton dresses. “They came out twirling,” Ziolkowski said in an animated voice. “They went in with their raggy shorts and their raggy T-shirts and came out with these dresses and they started twirling.” A Gideon member from Nova Scotia had brought the dresses with him. What a great idea, Ziolkowski thought. “I had flashbacks to my sister (when she was a child) and my two granddaughters. Whenever they put on a new dress — it must be a girl thing — they just start twirling. And I saw (these girls in Zambia) twirling and that just burned right into my heart.” That was in August. Ziolkowski is scheduled to leave Oct. 9 for Columbia on another Gideons mission. With him will be 150 dresses. From Saskatoon to Columbia with love. During the past few weeks, the 30 members of the Grassland Quilters, along with a small group of women at the Massey Place Community Church and a woman working at her home, have been making dresses. “We do all kinds of things, but this is the first big charity project we have taken on,” said Joan Acorn, a member of the Grassland Quilters. She said the decision to sew dresses was an easy one after hearing Ziolkowski’s presentation. “Everybody got on the bandwagon,” she said outside the room where members of the group were sewing and socializing at Ebenezer Baptist Church. “It is fantastic to see everybody going with the same project in mind. This is just the beginning; we will continue. There are 121 hanging up and probably another 25 being worked on now, so we are stockpiling them for his next trip.” Ziolkowski is grateful for the support, but not surprised. “They represent the caring, giving heart that people should have. When we have been so blessed in this country. We need to show it to the rest of the world.” He has seen poverty at its worst. “I saw people in the Philippines digging in the
Clair Ziolkowski (left) will take dresses made by Saskatoon quilters, including Carolyn Van Ee, to Columbia this month (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson) garbage dump for food, and grabbing food out of a dog’s mouth so they could have a bite of something to eat. We don’t have that here in Canada. We have poor people and I don’t wish to diminish them at all, but that level of poverty — where you are stealing food from a dog — it changes your heart.” He has also witnessed incredible giving among impoverished people. “In Guatemala I saw little kids getting their noon meal at the church feeding site, and they would take the piece of meat and wrap it up in the serviette and put it in their pocket. They would eat the rice but take the meat home to share with their family. Here if we have scraps of meat on our plate we just throw it out and don’t think anything of it. There they put it in their pocket and take it home to feed their family.” He said one way to help these children is through Compassion Canada (compassion.ca). He is a member of that organization as well as the Gideons. “I have seen firsthand the difference $41 a month can make in changing a life.” And he has seen how a dress can bring joy to the face of a little girl. “These are girls that don’t have much in life and

They are going to be twirling.” If you wish to donate brightly-coloured cotton fabric, elastic, ribbon and trim to the Grassland Quilters contact Joan Acorn at joan.acorn@yahoo.ca.

of grievances — issues that are bigger inside their hearts and heads than we can even imagine — will always pop up. They will give fake names, they will label all things as unfair as possible in the name of fairness for everyone. All we can do is hope and pray that those with the authority (so often resented by the individuals in question) have the common sense to listen and move on. Speaking of prayer, that’s the burning issue taking up the time of the fine folks on city council who really should be talking infrastructure and impending snow removal. I’ve mentioned in this column previously that I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. Growing up in the 1980s, prayer was everywhere — at school, at hockey games, at monster-truck rallies and even in home economics class. As JWs we were taught to pray, to talk through our hearts to God. Mindlessly reciting the Lord’s Prayer wasn’t encouraged, nor was (rightly or wrongly) participating in prayer led by individuals outside of the faith. So what did we do? Out of respect for the group around us and for the individual leading the prayer (regardless of domination) we bowed our heads alongside everyone else and silently said our own prayer. It was just that easy. Unfortunately, it’s highly doubtful that it always will be. Mary ML41932.j07

ment techniques aimed at encouraging residents to move their vehicles from the scheduled streets for the street sweepers. The traditional door hangers will not be used; however, new sandwich board-style signs placed at entrances and intersections will notify residents and visitors 24 hours in advance of the sweeping date. Vehicles that remain on the street at 5 a.m. through until the street is complete will receive a courtesy tow, which means relocated to a nearby street or neighbourhood with no fine. Within specified neighbourhoods white-paper No Parking signs will continue to be posted along streets with excessive on-street parking, supplemented with the new sandwich boards. Violating vehicles in these Parking Enforcement Zones will be relocated and ticketed. If the sandwich board signs are successful during this pilot, a new bylaw may be pursued and parking tickets would be given to violators on all scheduled streets. The street sweeping schedule will be updated on the City’s website once the sweeping begins. Residents can learn more about the program at saskatoon.ca or by contacting the street sweeping 24-hour hotline at 306-9757656 or streetsweep@saskatoon.ca.

City reintroduces fall street sweeping
fter 20 years or more, the City is reintroducing fall street sweeping to improve drainage and reduce catch-basin blockages that may cause flooding during the spring snowmelt in a selection of neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods selected for fall street sweeping are scheduled based on two priority levels. Priority 1 neighbourhoods include Buena Vista, City Park, Caswell Hill, Holiday Park, King George, Richmond Heights, Riversdale, North Park, Nutana and Varsity View. Priority 2 neighbourhoods will be scheduled once the first group is complete, if the weather permits, and includes Exhibition, Haultain, Mayfair, Queen Elizabeth and Westmont. “The City certainly recognizes that most neighbourhoods will experience excess leaves in the fall,” Pat Hyde, public works manager, said in a news release. “For this year, the budget and scope of the program is limited to these 15 priority neighbourhoods where a heavy tree canopy over the narrow streets and closer proximity to the river valley make them more prone to collect leaves and debris along the curbs.” The new program provides an opportunity to test new parking enforce-

thread in world religions is peace and goodwill to all men. Regrettably, as proven in the history of mankind, there are those who will twist the tenets of a given faith to serve their own diabolical causes, creating mayhem and ill will throughout society. Wouldn’t it be better if we each could simply practice the peace and goodwill aspect of our individual faiths and live and let live? The simple solution is a moment of quiet reflection where we each say thanks in our own way. Even the atheists will have reason to give thanks — if for no other reason than not having to be subjected to the religious diatribe of others. On a personal level, I feel neither conflicted nor offended in hearing a prayer from another faith. I rather enjoy witness-

ing the religious practices of others and feel broadened by the experiences. With the move towards a secular society, how many generations will pass before we are a community without faith in anything other than ourselves? Perhaps we are already there as religious organizations today express concern about diminishing congregations. Whatever decision council makes on these issues, the city would be wise to vet it through the Human Rights Commission and save us all the angst and pain of continued challenges to approved policy. If there are lessons here, they are that one person can make a difference, and you can fight city hall. But all holy wars come at a human cost. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

reads, “Our pool and fitness centre may not be the biggest, but our jogging path goes for miles.” Back in the 1950s, the notion of a new hotel in Saskatoon was conceived by brothers August (Gus) and Peter Verbeke. Investors in a hotel in the south-central Saskatchewan city of Moose Jaw, the two were interested in establishing another hotel, this

In addition, the seven storey hotel is in the process of completing work on 39 river-facing premium guest rooms, fitted with king-sized Park Town Dream Beds with triple sheeting and duvet covers. “The premium rooms have fantastic views and amenities, including more desk space and lounging chairs,” comments Mr. Caudle. “It is the view that really sells the property, and we have to take advantage of that view so we can bring in a premium room type.” A number of other recent facelifts include improvements to the fitness centre, which will have its own cooled room and is aimed primarily at fitness / corporate guests, while the pool is focused more on leisure guests. All work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.
up for sale, the company bought them. The rationale proved to be a wise one. In 1973, the original group of investors was prepared to sell their stake in the Park Town, and the decision was made for brothers Peter and Gus to purchase the entire hotel. “The reason why I wanted it so badly was because I figured it was a really good idea to expand it,” said the late Gus Verbeke, who kept true to his word and continued to purchase as many adjacent properties as possible, sometimes at an inflated price. He was persistent, and with the last piece of property in hand, the brothers created another investment group in 1976 and set about making significant expansions, such as an indoor pool and an increase in the room A Range of Amenities count to 109.

In addition to Presidential and Executive suites, the Park Town offers a Business Computer Centre, fast and free WiFi, concierge and dry-cleaning services, and much more. Many hotels offer shuttle services, but the Park Town has gone a step further with a shuttle that takes guests to the airport, to meetings, and even downtown to do some shopping. “A lot of others will just take you to the airport – we will do that, too – but we will also take you to your hospital appointment, shopping, wherever you need to go,” says Mr. Caudle. “There is no cost in that. It is a great convenience, and that is definitely one thing we do that makes us different.” Other amenities, like iPod docking stations, high-definition flat screen televisions, Keurig coffee machines, an expanded business centre, and oversized business desks are able to meet the need of any corporate guest. “The price point that we can offer a company would be much more affordable than down the street,” comments Mr. Caudle. “As long as you’re not a point collector, and you take a little walk around here, I don’t know

We can train for the job any day. Experience is great if you have it, but it’s not necessarily what we’re looking for; it’s that personality we want.” As renovations to the Park Town approach completion, Mr. Caudle is optimistic about the hotel’s future. “We have an awesome opportunity for expansion on our own land, and the future is very bright,” he says.

Thanksgiving
If it’s your turn to prepare the Thanksgiving feast this year, let Prairie Meats help you with some of their popular homemade specialties so that you can enjoy more time with your family. Prairie Meats offers a boneless stuffed turkey that feeds approximately 10 people. The breast and thigh
meat is wrapped around their traditional sage dressing and comes netted, ready for the oven. The boneless stuffed turkey cooks in half the time required for a regular stuffed turkey and the best part is; there are no bones so it makes it easy to carve. Prairie Meats ensures it will be easy by offering cooking instructions. If you like to prepare your own turkey Prairie Meats will have fresh natural turkey’s. Please call today to reserve your Thanksgiving turkey and they will have it ready for pickup. Country style hams are available all year round, but they are especially popular at Thanksgiving. If you are having a large gathering; a whole piece feeds 25 to 30 people. The country style hams can be cut into smaller portions for your convenience. If you prefer a boneless ham, Prairie Meats also has a honey ham that is sure to please anyone’s palate. Prairie Meats has a large selection of sides available from perogies and cabbage rolls to stuffed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Compliment your meal with one of their fresh homemade salads. With a variety of about
ten different kinds you can choose one of your favorites like potato, coleslaw, campfire beans or macaroni just to name a few. If you always run out of gravy or have trouble making a flavorful sauce, Prairie Meats makes turkey gravy by roasting and simmering the bones for a rich flavorful stock. All you have to do is bring it to a boil and serve. After the meal is finished, everyone loves something a bit sweet. Prairie Meats carries two light desserts that are made in store. Try their sticky toffee pudding or their jumble berry crumble. Both can be served warm or cold and are great with ice cream. Cranberry Sauce 12 oz. whole cranberries 1 cup white sugar 1 cup orange juice In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

AnSaskatoon eye for detail artist exhibits in distinguished New York gallery

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express
or Saskatoon artist Sarah Doherty Heinrichs, finding beauty in life and in art is all about the details. Heinrichs’ artistic attention to those details has paid off, with the 28-year-old currently visiting New York City for her first international exhibition — in the Chelsea district’s distinguished Agora Gallery. “I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, so I’m a Maritimer by birth,” said Heinrichs. “We left there when I was four and moved across the country to British Columbia, where we lived in a really tiny community called Keremeos. When I was 11 we moved to Saskatchewan, first to Prince Albert and then finally to Saskatoon.” Heinrichs credits her cross-Canada living experiences for the development of her eye for the characteristics and intricacies of the world around her. “Experiencing all the different topographies, landscapes, people and cultures was integral for my progress as an artist,” she said. “I love looking deeply into landscapes. The tiny details really make the difference.” Agora will feature the original work of Heinrichs in an exhibit entitled Elements of Abstraction. The exhibition is scheduled to run from Oct. 4 to Oct. 24, with an opening reception (which Heinrichs will attend) held on Oct. 10. Heinrichs graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in 2006. Her brother-in-law encouraged her to promote herself and her work online, prompting Heinrichs to launch www. artbysarahdoherty.com. Her decision paid off. It was through the website that the Agora Gallery found Heinrichs and contacted her about working together.

“I pretty much fell off the couch. My husband had no idea what was going on,” said Heinrichs about the moment last year when she opened the email from the gallery’s director. “I submitted my portfolio and two or three weeks later they called me and said they had accepted it.” Heinrichs says the gallery has been incredibly supportive ever since, especially given some recent health challenges she has endured. “With stunning compositions that use brilliant colour, deep contrast and the luminous quality of light, Sarah Doherty Heinrichs paints marine vistas and close-ups of microbiological life that convey the overwhelming mysteriousness of these scapes.” So said the Angora Gallery in an email describing Heinrichs’ upcoming exhibit, which elevates life forms from the microbiological to the macrobiological, and then combines them with underwater creatures and seascapes. “My parents are very scientifically minded as well as incredibly creative and artistic,” said Heinrichs. “I grew up interested in science and how the world works and how we’re made — what’s internal and what’s external. Today I’ve combined curiosity with the innate artistic environment. That’s the interesting part of these works: this is all the stuff that’s going on inside of us, in outer space and underwater. Just look at how awesome this is.” Heinrichs’ portfolio, much of which is available for viewing on her website, is a wellrounded blend of multi-media pieces with a broad appeal. “You have to do something that resonates with the people in the community you live in,” she said. “I have done Saskatchewan landscapes. My stuff is very realistic in that there is a high level of detail, but I always throw something in it that’s quirky, contextual and meaningful. People have to not only look

at the work but be pulled in.” Not even 30 years old, Heinrichs blends gratitude for her success with charming humility. “I’m happy where I’m at with myself and my work. I see how far I’ve come,” she said. “But there’s always that desire to learn more, to hone my skill. Artists never retire. When we’re 90 we’re still going to be looking at our work, how we’ve progressed and how we could hone it more. “I feel like I have an interesting take on the world. I really want to share that with everyone else. We don’t necessarily look at the smaller things in life and think ‘Gee, how does this work?’ I actually stop and look at things, how the particles come together. It’s a natural thing in my brain. “This is what’s exciting about the world around us. Yes, we’re more than just the sum
of our parts. But let’s stop and look closely at the sum of those parts, and each of those parts, to see why we’re so amazing.” The Agora Gallery is located at 530 West 25th Street in New York City. Its hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

It’s exciting for us to work with them.” Cole is also hoping the audience will be as compelled by the repertoire. “We will be playing a unique range,” she explained. “The Bach-Brandenburg Concerto #3 is for nine soloists: three violins, three violas, and three cellos, while the Bach–Brandenburg Concerto #6 is for two solo violas. The Mendelssohn-Octet is quite rare. Octet means ‘eight’, or two quartets put together. This is certainly the finest of the compositions. It’s rarely heard because you don’t often have the opportunity to put two quartets together.” There will be two performances on Thanksgiving Day — one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m. — at Third Avenue United Church. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Persephone Box Office or at the door. Tickets are $30 adults, $25 seniors and $15 students.

Tanks for the memories
Bill Bishopp: over 50 years of raising, showing, trading fish Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express
W
hen Bill Bishopp opened a Christmas gift in 1956 he didn’t know he was being given a life-long hobby. That Christmas, Bishopp received an aquarium. Now 57 years later, the retired University of Saskatchewan economics professor has 80 tanks in “the fish room” at his Saskatoon home. He said he is “cutting back a bit,” and only 50 or so now contain fish. Bishopp will be displaying, selling and trading fish Oct. 12-13 at the Saskatoon Aquarium Society’s show. Many of the breeds on display are ones not found at the neighbourhood pet shop. As an example, he said he will display fish he recently received from people that scooped them up in Uruguay. “I had never seen that fish in 50 years in the hobby,” he said. Bishopp has taken trips to collect fish as well. The most memorable was a three-week excursion to Tanzania in 2003 to collect and rescue killifish. He went at the invitation of Brian Waters of Regina, a fellow professor and a world expert in the species. “There are two types of killifish: non-annual that live all year in permanent water, and there are also a group of annual killifish who live in temporary pools,” Bishopp said. Flooding has taken the annuals and relocated them in ponds that will dry up as seasons go from rainy to dry. “These temporary pools dry up and the fish all die. In the meantime they put their eggs in the mud. They incubate in the mud. These are the fish we were trying to collect in Africa in 2003. We had to be there just before the ponds dried up.” Finding the ponds was tricky. They had to be small and the fish had to be adults. Bishopp and Waters put on their hip waders, grabbed their nets and into the ponds they went. “We caught them, brought them home and were able to keep them alive.” Bishopp brought back 164 fish, leading to a major expansion of his fish room. “I had to buy 24 tanks. Basically I wiped Saskatoon out of its small tanks,” he said with a laugh. Bishopp moved to Saskatoon in 1971 to teach at the U of S. He was born in Montana and grew up in Colorado, where he got that first tank. He still has it. After he left home his mother kept it for him. He still has his second and third tanks as well. Four years after arriving in Saskatoon, a colleague encouraged him to join the Saskatoon Aquarium Society. He has been a member ever since. His passion for the hobby has led to him being an accredited judge, as well as a renowned fish breeder. He has bred 189 different species of livebearers. These are fish that are internally fertilized and they bear fully-formed live young, like a guppy. Few of the ones he has bred are available at pet shops. “The main reason is they don’t fit the requirements of the pet-shop industry. It may require way too much labour, so it is
Bill Bishopp will have fish on display at the Saskatoon Aquarium Society’s show Oct. 12-13 at the Masonic Temple (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) not profitable for the industry to raise those fish and provide them. These are available through the hobby, through the various aquarium societies. Our show will have people coming from out of town, and they will often bring fish they have raised themselves.” Many of the livebearers Bishopp has raised came from Central America, with a few from the southern U.S., he said. The hobby has changed quite a bit in the 57 years since he got his first aquarium. Filters and lighting are better. The fish are different too. “A few of the fish have changed. Take guppies with very large finage and vibrant colours; they were non-descript little fish when I joined the hobby. There have been genetic changes in swordtails; (hobbyists) have crossed a variety of species and developed various colour varieties.” He said aquariums are a good place for fish to spend their lives. He said guppies are still a great starter fish for those getting into the hobby. “Fish almost always live longer in tanks than they would in the wild because they are not subject to predation the way they would be in the wild, and the amount of disease is reduced in an aquarium as opposed to in the wild because we have treatments for many diseases. There is no such thing as a disease-free fish, just like people always carry various things. We remove the incidence of disease quite substantially. The fish live a lot longer. They get regular food, and they don’t suffer flooding and droughts and that sort of thing.” The killifish Bishopp brought back from Africa can be found in waters

around the world. That includes rivers such as the Souris and the Assiniboia in Saskatchewan. “They are from the same general family as these livebearers, but they are egg layers,” he said. “Their eggs are spread externally and are fertilized externally so they don’t receive any parental care.” The “annuals” often live for a year or year and a half in tanks such as Bishopp’s. In nature, three months would be a better estimate of their life spans. “Killifish are among my favourites,” Bishopp said. “I can’t say an individual fish per se, particularly since I am keeping these annual fish. They die; all the fish die. I am disappointed I have lost species that I have collected, although in most cases I know somebody else has them because we spread them around.” He said takes his fish to shows in places such as in Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, where they are sold, traded and judged. Bishopp is a certified judge. He said fish are marked on such things as health, size and colour. A competition will be part of the show in Saskatoon, but it is opening the doors to the public that is a key element. “This is one of the few times we get to show public the variety of fish we have.” The public portion of the show is Oct. 12 from noon to 6 p.m. and Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show will be held at the Masonic Temple (1021 Saskatchewan Crescent). There is no charge. For more information about the Saskatoon Aquarium Society go to www.saskatoonaquarium.com.

Views of the World
Balloons blowing down, Roy blowing up • TC Chong, on Sunday’s Raiders game being pushed back to 8:30 p.m. due to the A’s playoff game on Saturday: “Supposedly it takes over 24 hours to pump out the sewage from the baseball game and replace it with fresh sewage for football.” • From Bill Littlejohn: “They've made fancy port-a-potties for Oakland Raiders tailgaters which include faucets (with running water), plants, lighting and Charmin toilet paper. What, no gun racks?” • Janice Hough, on Chelsea Clinton saying she hopes she and her husband will have a baby in 2014. “Let’s see, it will be about 2060 when that baby runs against Jenna Bush’s baby for president.” • From Torben Rolfsen: “Lane Kiffin and Breaking Bad exit on the same day. One is the tale of a wicked man who is hungry with power, and the other is Breaking Bad.” • Random thoughts: 3. My favourite new television show is The Blacklist; 2. If I could wave a wand, Tampa Bay, Oakland or Pittsburgh would win the World Series; 1. The Toronto Maple Leafs are a pretty good looking hockey
team. Damnit. • From the Twitter account of Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press: “My new favourite sports name is Cleveland Browns defensive end Barkevious Mingo. He sounds like a sinister tree.” • Chong, on OJ Simpson being back in the news: “This time it’s for allegedly stealing cookies from the prison cafeteria. There was no evidence on the jar though, as OJ is now smart enough to wear gloves.” • Paris Hilton has released a raunchy video. It’s called “Out-Twerking That Twerp.” • Rolfsen, on OJ Simpson getting caught stealing cookies in prison: “At least he's after food you don't need a knife to eat.” • Another from Turner: “Schwarzenegger and Stallone’s new movie is called Escape Plan, which I can only assume is about finding the fastest way out of the theatre.” • From Hough: “In the midst of Iran’s charm offensive comes news that a new law in the country will allow men to marry their adopted daughters at the age of 13. Insert very un-PC West Virginia/
Danica Patrick, a Lane change and amazing racers By RJ Currie
• Three reasons why Ally and Ashley of the LA Kings’ ice crew were chosen to compete on The Amazing Race: 3. They had pictures around the net; 2. Neither has an off side; 1. They've been through tougher scrapes. • USC fired coach Lane Kiffen at the Trojans’ airport, moments after he got off the flight from Arizona. In other words, the blame on Lane fell mainly off the plane. • The Chicago Cubs are looking for a new manager. The job comes with the salary set high and the bar set low. • What do you call Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker being out of the Titans' lineup with a hip injury? The Hurt Locker. • NASCAR's Danica Patrick will cohost the American Country Awards. And why not? Her marriage broke up, she's got a dog, drives a Chevy and her chases end in heartache. • The Winnipeg Sun reports Bomber fans are in revolt. And the Bombers are just revolting. • For the first time in 21 years, Pittsburgh is in the MLB playoffs. Pirates haven’t been so giddy since the invention of grog. • Fans held a rally in Jacksonville urging the Jaguars to sign Tim Tebow. Presumably LS907330.j07 because the Jags don't have a prayer. Liza • The Huffington Post reports a Georgia
Arkansas/Regina joke here.” • Random thoughts Part 2: 3. When an air balloon makes an emergency landing why would the headline be flippant: No Gusts, No Glory? 2. Patrick Roy may need anger management, but he is great TV; 1. Three athletes I cheer for: Roberto Luongo, Michael Vick and Josh Hamilton. • From Littlejohn: “After being fined for a late hit, San Francisco 49er Donte Whitner changed his last name to Hitner. I’m thinking he should have changed it to Whit-less.” • From Rolfsen: “In their pregame opening ceremony, the Chicago Blackhawks introduced their massage therapist. I guess he's hoping for another happy ending.” • Littlejohn, on 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, 25, dating 42-yearold actress Sanaa Lathan: “She told him when she was his age, Kaepernicking was known as Flintstoning.” • Chong, on the U.S. federal government shutting down: “‘What’s the big deal? We’ve been shut down for years and are still in business,’ said the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.”
family decided to preserve their son's body using liquor. "See?" said Lindsay Lohan. • First impression of Patrick Roy as an NHL coach? A pain in the glass. • London police issued tickets to Western cheerleaders during a homecoming rally. What was the charge? Raising a rah-rah-kus? • Not saying I don't like Mark Cuban's chances in his insider-trading trial. But his best character witness so far has been David Stern. • The husband of tennis player Martina Hingis has accused her and her mother of beating and scratching him. Talk about losing at love. • Recently released documents from Kazakhstan say a Russian rocket crashed shortly after launching early in 2013. Even stranger? It still managed to win the Hart Trophy. • An odd bit of symmetry last week between tennis ace Milos Roanic and Patrick Roy, new NHL coach. Roanic blew by Gasquet; Roy blew a gasket. • The Secretary of Defense okayed Army, Navy and Air Force to play football, but without government coin. The opening kickoffs were decided by eeny, meeny, miny, moe. • Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb have split. Bad news for Crimson Tide cameramen; great news for Brent Musburger.

A hot-air balloon made an emergency landing in the playground at Queen Elizabeth School last Thursday when there was insufficient wind to keep it in the air. Photographer Steve Gibb was near the weir when he noticed the balloon barely above the treetops. Neither of the two occupants was injured.
