NADALIN PENS ANOTHER BOOK FOR THE AGES CHRISTINE HINZMANN 97/16 staff

97/16 photo by Brent Braaten

Seniors’ Scene columnist Kathy Nadalin will host a book release and signing on Saturday at Books & Co. for the second edition of People of Prince George, The Foundation of Our Community, which is now on sale.

George residents will recognize the public artwork called Commotion that is located at 20th Avenue and Victoria Street. It was created by Roman Muntener. Nadalin put the photo on the cover as a way to thank Muntener as he volunteered his time to prepare the columns for the first volume of the People of Prince George book.

“I just wanted to honour Roman Muntener for all his design and layout work, which was donated,” Nadalin said.

Nadalin has designated three copies as keepsakes and she’s asking everyone who is in the book or family members of those who are in the book and have died since to sign their page.

One book will go to the Prince George

Community Foundation, one that will go into the City of Prince George’s next time capsule and one she will keep as a treasured keepsake for herself.

All proceeds from the book sales are going to the Prince George Community Foundation.

“It’s all about the people that are in the book and that’s why I do this,” she said.

Because Nadalin is known for writing the columns about the senior members of the community she has been asked many times to use the information in the column to do the eulogies of those who have passed away.

“It’s such an honour and some of the keepsakes that are on display at the memo-

rial services have included the book or a copy of the column that had been printed in the newspaper,” she said.

“When I see that it really gets my heart. I get so many hugs from sons and daughters because they are so thankful that someone did this for their parents. When I’m out in public people always come up to me and thank me for writing the history of the Prince George people. I want to thank the Citizen for providing another platform for seniors. It’s so very rewarding to be writing these stories. I highly respect every person I have written about and they have all become friends of mine. They are the people who have made Prince George what it is today and I am proud to tell their stories.”

People of Prince George, The Foundation of Our Community Volume II, written

by The Citizen’s Seniors’ Scene columnist Kathy Nadalin, is now proudly sitting on the shelves of Books & Co. The book release and signing is set for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The process of writing her weekly newspaper columns (that are also online at the Citizen website) are a labour of love for Nadalin, who’s been writing for the last seven years.

There are 120 personal histories in this book and who she looks for are those who are older than 70 and have been living in Prince George for about 40 years.

She is an extraordinary volunteer who knows how important it is to write the personal history of the pioneers who built Prince George from the ground up.

When Nadalin visits the person she’s going to write about she makes notes and then writes up the story and submits it to the person for approval before it ever gets published.

“It’s their story, not mine and I want them to be happy with it when it comes out in the paper,” Nadalin said. “A lot of people say they don’t have a story but everybody has a story to tell.”

She continues her volunteerism by creating and publishing the books that are a collection of her columns so members of the Prince George community, friends, family members and those featured in the stories can have a permanent keepsake of their very own.

Nadalin couldn’t prepare the columns for publishing on her own because she doesn’t have the computer savvy to do it so this year she turned to her son, Scott Pauley, for help and then she turned to his best friend, Jeff Bonnell, who she considers another son, for more help.

Everything was done over the phone and through cyberspace, she said, because her boys are in Olympia, Washington. That’s how the book ultimately came together so it could be sent to the publisher for printing.

“And, of course, I can’t thank them enough for all their help,” she said.

GET OVER THE MOMMY DREAM B efore I became a mother, like most people I’m sure, I had this idea of what type of mother I would be: this picture in my head of the things I might do, or not do, and how I would interact with my child.

I don’t mean a vague notion of being a good mother, but rather a more specific future version of myself.

Maybe you have or have had these dreams too. Perhaps you imagined yourself as the type of mom who lost all the baby weight with ease, attended Mommy and Me yoga classes every week and jogged with your baby in an all-terrain stroller through town every day.

Or maybe you thought you’d be a crafty mom, baking homemade muffins and splattering paint across canvases with your kids in the backyard.

Or were you a high-powered business woman, in a suit and on the phone, but also pumping breast milk for your baby during a conference call? Or the super fashionable mom who looks like she stepped out of the pages of a magazine, your kids all in coordinating outfits, pushing your high- tech stroller holding your Starbucks coffee and shopping at the hippest boutiques?

I thought I was going to be one of those crunchy granola moms who breastfed everywhere, wore her baby in wrap, cloth diapered, and gave her kids

TALES FROM THE (M)OTHER SIDE

ALANA OIKONEN

healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables.

I also thought I would be hiking with my kids all the time, even if I had to carry them on my back.

This dream version of myself as a mom was just that: a dream. And a stereotype-filled dream at that. It was simplistic, two-dimensional at best, and frankly, limiting.

To say my dream didn’t come true would be accurate, but also not completely true.

I did breastfeed my children – not always as I had envisioned, but both my daughters received breast milk for at least a year or more. I did carry my babies, not always in a wrap, in fact more often in a semi-structured baby carrier, but not as frequently as I had intended to. I did cloth diaper but not during the newborn stage and not when we went on vacations. I did hike with my babies on my back but discovered it was exhausting and difficult and my postpartum depression left me unmotivated and overwhelmed about going out with

IMPOSTER SYNDROME I have been having stress dreams about defending my thesis.

In some, my committee takes a break from their deliberations to congratulate me on being amazing and writing a groundbreaking thesis. In others, I am being questioned by my committee and all I can do is stammer answers and wipe off upper-lip sweat. Both dreams feel true.

I often wonder if other people think the same way that I do about their creative or academic work. I alternate between thinking that I’m brilliant and thinking that I’m a hack. At various times, both of these thoughts also feel true.

When I was doing my undergraduate degree in Victoria, years ago, I was introduced to the concept of the imposter syndrome. First identified by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Ament Imes in their 1978 paper, “The imposter phenomenon in high achieving women: Dynamics and therapeutic intervention,” the syndrome describes a trait seen most often, but not exclusively, in high-achieving women, particularly in academia.

One of my professors at the time had suggested I read up on the syndrome after I had broken down in her office during her office hours. I remember that she described it to me as feeling like you were a fraud and not at all smart and feeling like people were going to find out that you were actually stupid. I was confused. I said, “I thought that everyone felt like this.”

In my experience, most of my friends all felt this way – that at any minute, someone would drag them out of the lecture hall, announcing to the class that they didn’t belong there. We used to joke about feeling like that.

HOME AGAIN MEGAN KUKLIS

My professor looked at me, a bit sadly, and said, “Men don’t feel that way.”

It threw me for a loop and I brought the conversation back to my friends and we threw the idea around us for a while.

In retrospect, I think that I accepted the notion that women have the imposter syndrome and men don’t, too easily. Life is never that black and white and people are never entirely one way or another. I have known both men and women who knew in their core that they were amazing and I have known men and women who could not believe that they had talent or worth regardless of what they have been able to accomplish or create.

As I am heading into what will likely be the most challenging presentation of my academic career, I hope that I can be sufficiently prepared to do myself, my supervisor and my family proud. It will be hard but, I think, worth it, in the end.

Getting a diploma or degree is not the height of achievement in a person’s life but it does represent a lot of work to get the piece of paper to frame and hang on the wall. It is an important event to cap off a period of study.

My thoughts are with other students who are just starting off at college or university and are still filled with the excitement of starting off in a new adventure and I wish them all well on their academic journey. I will see you all on the other side – hopefully with my dignity still intact.

my children.

Motherhood, as it turns out, is so much more complicated than the idea of being a mother I had in my head.

Before you have children, you think you can make so many choices ahead of time: bottle or breast, stroller or carrier, soother or no soother, organic, homemade food, or store bought baby food, and the list goes on and on. And we encourage women and all parents-to-be to make these choices as a society.

People will ask you what you plan to do: are you going to have them sleep in the same room as you? Are you going to stay at home or go back to work? Are you going to let them watch TV? Are you going to cloth diaper or use disposables?

What I have found as a mother is that sometimes all that planning I did in advance didn’t really matter. All the reasons for my choices, and the reasons I thought they were the best choices, didn’t matter when I was faced with a screaming, unhappy baby who needed the opposite of what I had planned, or at the very least needed me to attempt an alternative.

Now I understand how many things you will try and how many things you will do as a parent that you never thought you would. I know that we will all yell and lose our tempers at some

point. I know that we will all be completely embarrassed by our children throwing a tantrum in a public place as we deal with it as best we can. I know that almost every parent had a lofty version of the parent they would be in their mind pre-children, just as I did, and I also recognize that we are all coping with the reality that we are not that parent we expected to be and that sometimes we feel incredibly guilty about our “failure.”

I don’t think it’s a failure at all.

We are simply adapting and changing as parents to meet the needs of our children. Needs that we could not ever have predicted before we met our children.

Needs that change over time. Needs that change from child to child.

So give yourself a break from the guilt, if you, like me still feel swamped in it from time to time.

We may never be that picture perfect mom we thought we would be, but then she was never a real person anyway.

And she certainly wasn’t taking care of a real baby.

But you are.

Every day you are out there solving the problems that parenthood throws your way and you are doing an incredible job.

THE FIRE STILL BURNS – FRIENDLY TRACK CHRISTINE HINZMANN 97/16 staff

It all started 69 years ago.

Arna Kristian from Prince George is now 85 years old and came up against Myrtle Acton, 86, from Sooke one more time during a track and field event literally held for the ages. They met during the 55+ B.C. Games in Kelowna from Sept. 10 to 14 to test their track and field skills during the individual throwing events as well as the throws pentathlon where competitors throw all five implements in less than five hours as a test of skill and endurance.

The friendly rivalry between Arna and Myrtle started in high school when each came from their Saskatchewan school to the county competition in Saskatoon.

Back in the day nobody could beat me, Arna recalled. She was a sprinter with feet that flew, could long jump like nobody’s business and threw the javelin to set records. Myrtle wasn’t far behind.

“After that we went our separate ways, got married, had kids and then I started back in 1994,” Myrtle said.

Arna came along a bit later.

“I started in 2002,” Arna said.

“I went to Tom Masich (Prince George coach for senior competitors) and told him I’d like to do it but I haven’t tried it for 100 years. I went out there and I entered four events and I got two gold, a silver and a bronze in my first year and there was a lot of people there.”

Myrtle’s favourite is the hammer

throw. She used to do the five and 10 km walks and the race walks and this year she participated in the 1500 metre power walk for the first time.

Hammer is Arna’s favourite, too.

Fierece competitors. Strong friends.

The years haven’t changed them much.

“We’re very competitive but we’re also very supportive,” Myrtle said.

Back in the day nobody could beat me, Arna recalled. She was a sprinter with feet that flew, could long jump like nobody’s business and threw the javelin to set records.

Myrtle wasn’t far behind.

As with all athletes they do their best while in the throwing circle - it’s all business out there – but when they walk out of the back of the circle and join their fellow competitors each athlete is greeted with cheers and applause for their efforts, even a hug or two and then there’s words of advice offered for a better throw next time.

“There’s no animosity,” Myrtle said.

“Not even a thought,” Arna added.

During the Kelowns competition, the ladies gathered around the cage to

compete in the weight throw and after Myrtle was done her record-breaking throw, Arna threw her arms around Myrtle and called her a silly girl for worrying about not achieving her goal of breaking the record. Arna was ecstatic for her friend.

Arna is small in stature but fierce in determination. She mows her lawn in the summer and shovels snow in the winter. It’s part of her training and she knows it’s important to keep active.

And when the track and field practices started in June, Arna was the first one there, attending three times a week with conviction and tenacity, always striving

HOMETOWN STAR TO HELP KICK OFF NEW PGSO SEASON CHRISTINE HINZMANN 97/16 staff

To start off the regular season at the Prince George Symphony Orchestra, the non-profit organization decided to showcase musicians who got their start in Prince George.

David Louie began playing piano at the age of five under Loretta Zral’s instruction before continuing his studies with Linda Stobbe.

Louie will be returning to Prince George after a seven-year hiatus to perform with the symphony during the David Louie Plays Mozart concert presented at Vanier Hall on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Louie said he has fond memories of taking to the stage at Vanier Hall, which as a child he considered immense.

“It’s going to be exciting to go back because as I understand the concerts are at Vanier Hall still,” Louie said. “To walk up on that stage and play the big black piano, which I think was new when I was a child and now it’s still the same piano I believe so there’s going to be a lot of nostalgia, to be sure.”

He participated in many music festivals at the venue as a child and first performed with the orchestra there when he was 13 years old.

Louie is now a faculty member of the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto where he is the piano department coordinator. He’s been there for the last 20 years.

The major piece Louie will perform in the Mozart concerto No. 23.

“Mozart was one of the first virtuosos on the piano and he really revolutionized the place of the piano with the orchestra,” Louie said. “He established the concerto as we know it today. He had the idea of a keyboard soloist and placed the piano as the spotlight, the showcase.”

Mozart wrote the concertos for himself to perform.

“And he’s probably the first real successful freelance musician because back in the day most famous musicians had patronage,” Louie said.

David Louie returns to Prince George for the first time in seven years to play Mozart with the PGSO. Mozart would book the hall and perform concerts entirely of his own music and these piano concertos played an important role because he was the keyboard virtuoso, Louie said.

“Back in the day everybody wanted to hear something new,” he added. “It’s like going to the movies today. We go out and see a new movie, with some exceptions, of course. So Mozart’s concerts were big events held once or twice a year and he made money off selling the tickets.

People came to hear him play because

that was what they did then and they would hear things at the keyboard that they had never heard before.”

The historical perspective is always interesting, Louie said.

“These are spectacular pieces of music and when he wrote this particular piece he wrote a letter to his father saying now he’d written something really good so even he understood that there was something quite special about this piece,” Louie said about concerto No. 23. “I’m just really excited to come back to Prince

George. I’m looking forward to visiting places I remember from my childhood and seeing if they’ve changed or if they’ve stayed the same.”

Conductor Michael Hall will present a talk from 6:40 to 7 p.m. before the performance begins Saturday to offer some perspective on David Louie Plays Mozart.

Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischutz and Ludvig Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, which is very familiar to most people will also be presented during the concert.

Tickets are at www.pgso.com

STUDIO 2880 HOSTING CREATIVE HUB-BUB CHRISTINE HINZMANN 97/16 staff

Art Monkeys will unite during a Creative Hub-Bub on Friday, a Pro-D day event at Studio 2880 presented by the

Prince George & District Community Arts Council.

Children between six and 11 years old are invited to start off a day of artistic

fun by spending an hour doing a live radio show with CFIS 93.1FM, the community radio station.

Everyone knows that kids can be quite candid.

“Hopefully parents will be at their work listening to their darling, lovely children on the radio,” Sean Farrell, executive director of the arts council, said.

The Community Arts Council is developing a new concept as they move into the downtown facility most likely in 2021.

“We’re looking for the new facility to be a creative hub for the community,” Farrell said. “Understanding that we’ve always had that concept here at Studio 2880, with a whole collective of arts and cultural groups working side by side, so we thought how neat would it be to let kids start experiencing what a whole creative hub setting should be. So we’ve collected some of our guilds and tenants here at Studio 2880 and everyone is pitching in to provide a super neat day for the kids.”

After the on-air experience, the children will then have an opportunity to paint with artist-in-residence Donna Morrison, then during their lunch time they can play with Lego and then they get to make some fibre arts and play with clay with Joanne Mikkelsen.

Farrell said they are working on their

feasibility study for the new downtown building, located where the downtown farmers’ market is held at 1310 Third Ave. “So the new creative hub will have lots more than we even have here at Studio 2880,” Farrell said. “Ideally there will be glass blowing, metal works and different kinds of art therapy rooms and music studios and I think if we see the interest in the success from this kind of creative hub experience during Pro-D days it helps us understand that yes, we are going in the right direction with the new facility.”

The City of Prince George and the Community Arts Council are putting together a Downtown Art Strategy project, which is a 10-year plan in which to develop and enhance arts and culture in the downtown core, Farrell added.

The arts council’s move into downtown is part of that project.

The Creative Hub-Bubs are $60 per child and are also accessible events since the community arts council held a 6x6 artwork sale in the summer, with all proceeds going into a fund so that if an economically marginalized child wants to attend a Hub-Bub there would be no financial barrier for them. To access one of these 20 subsidized spots available throughout the year, call the arts council office at 250-563-2880.

MENNONITE FALL FAIR RUNS SATURDAY 97/16 STAFF

Orchard fresh apples, farmer sausage and a hearty bowl of borscht can once again be found at the Mennonite Fall Fair held Saturday at the Westwood Mennonite Brethren Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be children’s activities going on and home baking for purchase as well as the gala apples from the Okanagan, freshly-pressed apple cider, farmer sausage from Manitoba to take home, and garden fresh produce donated from all around Prince George. Also for purchase will be organic fair trade coffee from Level Ground.

For lunch that’s available all day, people can have a bowl of borscht, farmer sausage on a bun, a choice of pie and a beverage for the full meal deal or mix and match.

“We raise money for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and they do humanitarian work in the Third World,” Diane Fairservice, one of the organizers of the fall fair, said. “Most often those projects are sustainability projects. Most of the projects offer families seeds or animals to be able to help themselves, feed themselves and grow. You know it’s the old ‘teach a man to fish.’ Families can be given goats or chickens so they can feed themselves and then sell some to get things they need.”

One of the projects that will benefit from the fundraising efforts at the fall fair is called Shanti Nepal which works with those in poor and marginalized communities who need primary health care for the family, including women pre- and post- natal and their infants. Other aspects of the project includes income generation through training on how to create irriga-

SHATTERED DREAMS REVEAL NEW PATHS W e all face disappointments and challenges in life. We don’t get picked for a team, we don’t get a promotion, we are turned down by a potential lover or we see a dream come to an end.

What is important in life is not what happens to us however, it is how we respond. Great people are not people without problems, they are people who respond effectively to their problems.

To illustrate this point, I like to show my students two examples from the world of football. The first is from the 2004 cult classic film Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon’s Uncle Rico brags about his abilities as a quarterback during his high school years and whines about how his life could have been different, had he only been given a chance. His team would have won a state championship, he’d have become a professional, he’d be making millions of dollars and he’d have a soulmate.

Instead, he lives the lonely life of a drifter, all because of a decision his high school

LESSONS IN LEARNING GERRY CHIDIAC

football coach made many years ago.

To contrast this, we watch a short video of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, posted from a luxury high-rise in Vancouver. He talks about how he was cut by the Calgary Stampeders in 1995, two days after his CFL debut against the B.C. Lions. His football dream was shattered and he was left with only $7 in his pocket.

Though he was devastatingly disappointed, Johnson did something that Uncle Rico did not do. He decided to focus his life on what he could control. He chose a different career and the rest, as they say, is history.

He asked his father, a professional wrestler, to teach him the business, and he eventually became one of the most

successful wrestlers of all time. This led to a long movie career and an income that surpasses anything he could have earned playing football.

Johnson points out that often times in life, the best things that happens to us is that a dream does not come true.

How many times do we come to realize that the girl or boy we are smitten with turns out to be a disaster? The job we just had to get is for a company which is facing a crisis? A few months after our disappointment, we find the person of our dreams or a job we love that pays so much more. This is one of the mysteries of the universe and something which seems to happen time and again.

The key is to move through the apparent failure and remain true to who we are. It hurts to be rejected or see a dream come to an end, but it doesn’t impact our ability to live with integrity. It doesn’t stop us from developing our talents, being kind, choosing a positive attitude, or simply being the best that we can be.

It is strange how events seem to steer us away from what we think we want and direct us to where we really need to be, but such is life.

It is impossible to say why Uncle Rico’s ended up living such an unfulfilling existence. He is, after all, only a fictional character.

We do know, however, what happened to Dwayne Johnson, and to every person who rises from the ashes to achieve greatness. We know our own stories as well, and those of us who have been around longer likely have several examples which attest to this principle of success.

Regardless of what happens around us, we need only hold true to what we know in our hearts is right. As the great mystic, Julian of Norwich said, “All will be well.”

LET HUMAN NATURE GUIDE YOUR VOTE W hat is the purpose of government?

How do we choose our leaders, those we elect to represent us?

The purpose is easy: the purpose of government is, generally, to manage the affairs of the nation. We elect people, they hire people, and together with their collective expertise and public representa-

tion, they make decisions on our behalf, and manage the affairs of the nation.

Governing is different than raising children and caring for our elders, but not so much different in the sense that people are the same, human nature is the same.

Government is, by its very nature, dealing with people and these people are individ-

THINKING ALOUD TRUDY KLASSEN

uals. Government has no magic wand that mes people want to do the right thing, the best thing, or the thing that benefits everyone. At a most basic level, the best government can do is ensure that there is that there is rule of law, that the law applies equally to everyone, that people have recourse when the law is disobeyed.

At the next level, we can try to influence the type of decisions people make by penalizing or rewarding, depending on what the collective “we” think is of value.

So how do we decide who to vote for?

Since governing is essentially problem solving and guidance, I would recommend taking a look at how things are working in your own life and allow that to inform how you vote.

Consider how you deal with your own problems and opportunities. Your family’s, your community’s. Think of what has worked to solve problems. Think of what has inspired people to create opportunity for themselves. Considering these things gives you a good idea of human nature. Then think of those problems that have been solved and how. That gives you another aspect of human nature.

Human nature should inform your vote.

We are better at making change in the areas we are interested in, in our own timing. Those intimately involved in a situa-

tion must be able to see for themselves the benefits of change or solving problems.

Everyone has stories of someone who has spent significant resources, time and money, to help someone out of a bad situation, only to find their efforts useless. Then, maybe years later, the person finds a reason to change, and giving them a slight hand-up is all they need and they are off, solving problems that we, as an outsider, had ideas for, but could not make happen.

When this happens, we who tried to help previously are sometimes a bit stunned, because all our previous efforts didn’t help, and suddenly, “poof” change happened.

In my experience, problems are best solved when the people involved take an active part in finding the solution and then are the ones with power to implement the solutions. People are usually inspired to either act in their own best interest or in the best interest of someone they love and care for. Most likely, you will see that top-down, forced solutions, are not often the most effective.

Does that help? If you are a decided voter, maybe that helps you to answer, or ask questions, of your friends or colleagues.

The old adage that politics should never be discussed in polite company should go the way of the idea of “polite company.”

The only people who benefit from the silence are those who don’t want to explain themselves.

Let’s change that.

Let’s talk politics, let’s ask and listen, respectfully.

How Hippos Keep Their Cool

To stay cool in the African heat, hippos spend most of their day in rivers and lakes. Their eyes, nose and ears are located on the top of their head, which means they can see and breathe while the rest of their bodies are under water.

The Hippo Code

Danger!

Don’t let their gentle appearance fool you. The hippopotamus is considered the world’s deadliest large land mammal. These giants kill an estimated 500 people per year in Africa.

Use the code to discover some facts about hippos.

= CALF = RIVER

= BULL = HORSE

= COW = TUSK

Q: What does the word hippopotamus mean?

A: Help me find some grass to munch!

Q: What is a baby hippo called?

A:

Hippos leave the water at night to look for food.

They like to eat grasses – lots of grass. They eat 80 lbs (35 kg) of vegetation each night.

Hippos are found in these regions of Africa.

How many hippos can you find on this page?

Are hippos slow? Quite the opposite!

Even though their legs are short, and their bodies are large and heavy, a hippo can run fast! Hippos have been clocked running at speeds of 19 to 25 mph (30-40 km/h).

Open Wide!

How many differences can you find between these two hippos?

Hippos have a huge mouth, measuring up to 4 ft (1.2 m) when opened wide!

Our new Kid Scoop drawing book is here!

Hippos have a pair of huge incisors in each jaw. The large, curved lower canine teeth are like tusks as they grow throughout a hippo’s life. They can reach a length of 1 foot 8 inches (50 cm)! These teeth are used for combat, not eating. When a hippo yawns, it’s not tired but it is a sign of a threat.

Opposites

Look through the newspaper to find words that are opposites.

Sweaty, Sweaty Hippos?

Hippos have an oily red liquid that oozes out of their skin. It isn’t sweat. Sweat evaporates and cools a body. This liquid looks red in sunlight and it stays on the skin and protects it from drying out – and acts as a sunblock, too!

When early European explorers first noticed this reddish liquid on the hippos they observed, they gave it a name.

TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH A TWIST THE WASHINGTON POST

TURKEY MEATBALLS AND GRATED FRESH TOMATO SAUCE WITH HARISSA

4 servings Serve it in bowls with crusty bread or pita alongside, or over a bed of couscous or fresh arugula leaves.

Cooked meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Harissa can be purchased at many grocery stores, Middle Eastern markets and online.

Ingredients 4 pounds ripe, fresh tomatoes 1/2 small onion 1/3 cup quick-cooking oats 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley 2 medium cloves garlic (1 clove finely minced and 1 clove thinly sliced) 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound (90 to 94%) lean ground turkey (or a mix of light and dark meat) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons harissa, or more as needed Slices of crusty bread or cooked couscous, for serving Steps Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise and gently squeeze the seeds into a bowl.

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the liquid from the bowl of seeds and discard the rest.

Grate the tomatoes on the coarse side of a box grater set over a bowl, pressing the cut side of the tomato against the grates.

Discard the skins.

Use the same box grater to grate the onion into another medium bowl until you have about 2 tablespoons worth. (Keep the remaining onion for another use.)

Place the oats and the reserved tomato liquid into the bowl, stir and let sit until the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Add the turkey and mix with your hands to combine but avoid overmixing.

Form the turkey mixture into 12 balls, wetting your hands with cold water if they become sticky as you work. If the meatballs seem loose, refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm them up.

In a large deep skillet over mediumhigh heat, warm 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Add the meatballs and cook, turning them two to three times, until browned all over and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Stir the remaining tablespoon of oil, the harissa, the sliced garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper into the bowl of tomatoes, then pour the tomatoes into the skillet with the meatballs. Turn the heat to medium and bring the sauce to a boil, then cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has somewhat thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste and add additional harissa, if desired.

Divide the meatballs and sauce across 4 bowls, garnish with the remaining parsley, and serve with crusty bread or over couscous.

EVER-POPULAR CIVIC RETAINS ITS LUSTRE

PEDRO ARRIAS Victoria Times Colonist

When Canadians look to buy a new car in 2019, more often than not they will pick a Honda Civic, the country’s best-selling passenger car for 21 consecutive years.

In a time when SUVs seem to be all everybody wants to talk about and the car market is in a steady decline, the Civic keeps getting stronger, easily outselling its competitors, such as the Toyota Corolla and the Hyundai Elantra.

Other manufacturers, such as Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, have given up the fight entirely, discontinuing small four-door sedans and hatchbacks from their lineups.

What is it about the car that makes it so popular?

I recently got an opportunity to spend a week behind the wheel of a 2019 Honda Civic Coupe.

When the first subcompact Civic rolled into dealerships in 1972, buyers could get one with a trunk or hatchback.

It has grown, in more ways than one, in the ensuing years. It is now in its 10th generation, which debuted as a 2016 model.

There is no two-door hatchback any more. The lineup now includes a coupe, a sedan and a four-door hatchback.

Honda satisfies the need for speed in some consumers with the Coupe Si, Sedan Si and the high-performance

Type R. If those aren’t enough to choose from, the Coupe can be ordered in three trim levels — LX, Sport and Touring. In the lower two trims, one can order a manual or automatic transmission. The Touring only comes with the automatic (the Si is only available with a manual).

My tester was equipped with the automatic — unfortunately.

When you lay eyes on the Civic Coupe, your pulse quickens. There are several reasons why you might be excited. You might be single, have gotten a good-paying job and the Civic will be your first fun (but reliable) car.

Or you might be of a certain age, with

hp and 162 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 2.0-litre doesn’t set the world on fire compared with others in the field, but it doesn’t embarrass, either. Power is more than adequate for merging on the highway and overtaking when needed.

What the Civic lacks in zero-to-100 km/h times, it makes up in fuel efficiency. Even equipped with an automatic, my Sport still boasted a fuel consumption rate of 8.3 litres/ 100 km in the city and 6.6 on the highway.

The Achilles heel, in my opinion, is the continuously variable transmission.

I have driven numerous Civics, and they have all been fun to drive. Some have also been equipped with regular automatics with gears. Honda’s CVT, with its belt and pulley system, just isn’t as responsive when acceleration at low speeds is called for.

(Toyota has addressed this problem with introducing a launch gear, acting like first gear, to power the new Corolla from a standing start. Once the vehicle has built up speed, it then reverts back to the CVT.) Otherwise, the Civic is a very engaging car to drive, with a suspension and ride that soak up the bumps and inspire driver confidence.

Although it is equipped with humble McPherson struts, you won’t care as you will take those back-road twisties with ease (and flair, maybe).

The Civic cabin is surely the benchmark for the segment. The whole interior is covered in quality materials, and the ergonomics of all the disparate elements is spot on.

The front seats were comfortable and supportive, although some with an ample girth may find the side bolsters intrusive.

The coupe body means that rear headroom is compromised. I had a six-foot, two-inch passenger for a short trip, and he had to slouch the entire time.

For 2019, Honda’s infotainment system has finally returned to a rotary knob for the radio (its previous slider was terrible).

A driver safety suite includes a collision-mitigation braking system, forward collision warning and Honda’s LaneWatch (a camera located on the outside mirror that comes on when you indicate you are changing lanes).

If I was choosing for myself, I would most likely chose the Civic Si, with 205 hp and 192 lb.-ft. of torque as my ride.

But if you are just looking for a reliable, good-looking and fun ride that won’t break your bank, the Civic Coupe Sport is as good as it gets.

your parenting days finally over. The back seats aren’t as important as the freedom to have fun once again.

While there are other two-door coupes in the market, most are sports cars, more powerful — and more expensive. The Civic Coupe stands alone as the only one offering fun and performance on a modest budget.

Once you have decided on the Civic Coupe, the first question is how much fun you want. The LX and Sport give you a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. The Touring ups the ante, with a turbocharged 1.5-litre four boasting 174
