Mochidoughnutsarethe latest popular doughnut craze. Gluten-free,lightlydeepfriedand soft without being squishy,theseflower-shaped circlesof goodness take the bestfromAsianand Americancooking andcombine them intoa delicious dessert. Now,theyare being sold inspecialty cafésacrossthe Lower Mainland,including in Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Surrey and Burnaby, at a newbakery called Holy Mochi. Started by Kathy Nguyen, adigital marketer,and nurse Maria Adato, the friendsspent eightmonths coming up withtheirsignature flavoursand cooking processbefore givingup their dayjobs to work onthe businessfulltime. Today,they work outof the GongYou Kitchen, a small commissarykitchen located in Port Coquitlam. "It was excitinganditwas scary,too.

Both arefoodiesand enjoyexploringnew food trends.When they came acrossmochidoughnutsin the U.S.,theyfell in love with thetreat.

It takesonly twominutes tofrythedoughnutsinto spectacular rings that can be pulled apartto share. Meanwhile, Holy Mochi'sdelicateicing comesinflavourssuch as coco pandan (a grassy vanillaflavour);bloodorange (made with Italian puree); Vietnamese coffee; jasmine rose milk tea; andchocolate caramel popcorn.

The plansshowed a paved openspaceforcivic activitytowardLaval Square. Two years later—and beforethecentreis even open—the mayorandcity councilare rezoning the openarea from P-1Civic InstitutionaltoRM-2ThreeStorey Medium Density Apartmentfor seniors living. Onlythreeshort letters opposingthe rezoning were presented at the publichearingheld on July25,2022, although considerablymore were written. It seems apparentthat the agendawas setlong before anyinputwas requested. Oppositionto this project doesnot resultfromthe “nimby” syndrome.

On July22,2022,the Tri-City News reported Coquitlamcity councilis consideringa 20-storey notfor-profittower of seniors accommodationon Austin Avenue,alocationthat is oneblock westofandonly afewnorthoftheLaval Squarelocation. Theproposedsitefor seniorsaccommodationnear Laval Squareis not ona bus routeand, whilenotfar from existing busstops, it is uphill and poorly clearedofsnow and ice in the winter. This makesit dangerous for everyone, butimpassable for thosechallenged with mobilityissues.

ATri-City conservationistis worried a moment of foolhardiness couldundo yearsof work to re-establish nesting habitatfor Purple Martinsin Burrard Inletnear Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. Kiyoshi Takahashisaid a friend recentlyalertedhim toa manhe sawclimbing oneof sevenpilingserected inthewater. Those pilingsare close to thepier,affixed with about 50 wooden boxesthat are homesto thelarge,broadchestedswallowsthrough thesummer months,from aboutmid-Junetomid-Au gust. Takahashisaid,as faras he’s been able to ascertain, noneofthenesting boxes theintruder used as footholdswasdamaged, and mostofthebirds hadalready departedontheirlongjourneytotheir winterhomesin Brazil. Buthe’s concerned if oneperson gets away with climbingthepilings,others mayfollow. Andiftheboxesaredamaged,or thebirds scaredoff by theintruder,they may not return.

This year, he said, about 30boxes were occupied by thebirds—that’s down a fewfromlast yearwhenthe colony wasnear capacity, butthat’s likelyduetothe lateonsetofspring. Takahashi said Purple Martinsare voraciousconsumersofinsects,while flyingashigh as 500feetoff theground. “There’sadefinite benefit”to havingthem around, hesaid. According toBritish Columbia’s Ministryof Environment, Landsand Parks, Purple Martinsused tobe abletonestin natural siteslikesnags nearsaltor freshwater, as wellasniches inpilingsandcrevices in buildings. However, those options have diminishedorbeen crowded out by European Starlingsand House Sparrows By 1995theprovince had only55known active martin nests,alloftheminartificial boxes. Currently,the Purple Martinisontheprovince’s redlistasa candidatefor designation as an endan geredor threatenedspecies.

TheConsumerPrice Indexforthe Vancouverarea in Maywas8.2 percent —up from6.6 per cent in April “and continuestosit at record highs,” Hunt said. And,according to StatisticsCanada,construc tion prices rose 12.8 per cent fromthefirstquarterof2021 to2022for non-residential building. “Thisis compounded by longerleadtimes for some materials and finishedproducts, with somehigh-demanditemstemporarily unavailable,” Hunt wrote in her July12 report. “Vehicles, petroleum-base products(roofing materials,insulationproducts, foam used inthe automotiveindustry, PVCpipe), asphalt,steel pipe, glass,fuel and consumerelectronics (phones, computersand tablesduetomicrochip shortages)areamongthe projectsthat arecreating procurementchallenges for thecity.” Hunt also pointed out theprice volatility,as wellas geotechnical andarcheologicalfindsand permits, along withthecity’s environmental sustainabilitypledgeson climate adaptionandgreenhouse gasemissions. Still,Coun.Brent Asmundsonwarnedthat if councilpostponesaproject, itcouldcostthe citymore in thelong runto buildit.

Thefive-year capitalplan is set togobefore council in November, witha vote expected in December— a monthaheadof schedule forthenewcouncil, so the city can secure contractors, schedulesandpricingin earlyin2023. (CourseID#98296)

• Partington Creek Channel/CedarDrive:$6.3 million In particular, the Austin Works Yard Renewal,the Spani Pool Renewal, the NortheastCedarDrive pump stationand sewers,andthe InnovationCentre renovation are muchhigherthan projected. Hunt said construction of NortheastCommunity Centreon Burke Mountain will be impacted by inflation and cost upticks as well.

@ Performance Works

JANISCLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com Kyrst Hogan,aka BurgundyBrixx, hasquite a storytoshare. Andshe’ll soonbe doing that ona Vancouver stage. During theCOVID-19 pandemic, Hogan, a cabaret performerwho livesin Port Coquitlam,switchedto a new doctor after her general practitioner retired. She went infora routine colonoscopy,whichuncoveredatumour in hercolon. “I wasshocked,”she said. “My firstfearwasthat it spreadto my ovaries.” Like hermother,who had ovarian cancer, Hogan had mutationsinthe BRCA2 gene, butshetook good care ofherself to avoid the disease. However, the cancer hadn’ttouched Hogan’s ovaries. Instead,it attacked herliver. Last year,she hadthe tumour surgically removed fromher colon. Sixmonthsofchemotherapyensuedand,in February of this year,sheunderwent anoperationonherliver Her right ovarywasalso taken out. Formost people, the rapidjourney to Stage 4 colon cancer and the medical proceduresthat followed can bephysicallydebilitating andemotionally exhausting. But Hogan neverlether spirit waver. Afterthefirstsurgery,she startedtowrite abouther cancerexperiences “becauseI have tofind humour ineverything to cope with it,” she said. At first,herstories were blogs that family andfriends read. Thenshe dreamedbigger: Whynotturn the material into a theatricalshow? Thoughherwritingwas stillinthe works, Hogan applied tothe Vancouver Fringe Festivalinthe middle ofchemotreatments. She got in. “Itwaslikethe universe telling methat itwastime totell my story,” shesaid. “I didn’tknowwhat theend would be, buttheshow gave mefocusandalotofstability and directionwhileIwas going througheverything. It’s been very healing.” Hershow,titled The C-Word, isamixoftales, musicaltheatre, burlesqueand comedy about battling cancer—an illnessthat affects two outoffive Canadians during theirlifetimes. Shehopes theproduction willdraw people who have had cancer,as well as anyone who hasor hadaloved one with cancer. Hogan calledit The C-Word “becausewe’re allafraidtosayit outloud, butIthinkitneeds tobe addressedandtalked about more freely. Youneed to find thelevityin some of these moments.”

Today, Hoganisn’ttechnically in remission, but doctors have been encouragingasthey seeher results. She gets regular scans, takes supplementsprescribed by a naturopathand keepsher energy up. “Ineverstopped working the whole time,” Hogansaid, adding, “Mymentor atmy universitywasa nunwho lived untilshewas99. She was sharpandalwaysstayed busy.” During thepandemic and at the startof her cancer journey,theentertainer performedsingingtelegrams aroundthe Lower Mainland. “I wasbringingjoyto somebody’slife, whichhealed me at thesametime.” Still,she recognizes cancer will be withher forthe rest of herlife. “Themortality rate is so much lowerthanit usedto bebecause the research has advanced,”shesaid.“My progressisgood. I’m going to become that old woman withthesilver,braided hair.”
