Community Leaders Celebrate Asian American Heritage Month at Governor’s Mansion

C.K. Lau and Victor Alzona

More than 300 Asian American com-munity leaders across Florida attended the reception at the Governor’s Man-sion in Tallahassee on May 24, 2010 to celebrate the Asian Pacifi c American Heritage Month.

In 1978, Congress passed a joined Congres-sional Resolution to commemorate Asian Ameri-can Heritage Week during the fi rst week of May , in recognition of two important events: the arrival of the fi rst Japanese Immigrants in America on May 7, 1843, and the completion of the transcon-tinental railroad (by many Chinese laborers) on May 10, 1869. In 1990 Congress voted to expand it from a week to a month long celebration and in May 1992, the month of May was permanently designated as “Asian/Pacifi c American Heritage Month.”

This is the second year that Governor Char-lie Crist has hosted a reception to recognize the contributions that Asian Pacifi c Americans have made to the country, and especially to the State of Florida.

“He was the fi rst Governor in Florida to have issued a proclamation recognizing the contribu-tion of Asian Pacifi c Americans, and joining the community in its celebration of Asian Pa-cifi c Heritage Month”, says Clyde Diao, Deputy Policy Coordinator for the Florida’s Finance and Economic Analysis Policy Unit. “Asian Ameri-cans and Pacifi c Islanders have shared common struggles throughout their histories in America -- including efforts to overcome racial, social, and religious discrimination. Through perseverance and hard work, they have achieved success and prospered as leaders in business, academia, and public service.”

Diao also serves as Chairman of the Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (ACT), an umbrella or-ganization of about 15 associations and groups that aims to unite the Asian communities in the Tallahassee area for promoting and sharing the rich Asian culture and heritage with the citizens of Tallahassee through community involvement and cultural events.

“Asian Pacifi c Americans are ethnically diverse, but through our entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as our love of family and com-munity, we have enriched our nation,” adds Tha-yumanasamy Somasundaram, President of the India Association of Tallahassee. “We are cer-tainly honored that the Governor is recognizing our contribution to American society.”

As a token of appreciation, Dr. Joy Bruce, President of the Asian American Federation of Florida, presented the Governor with a framed Census 2010 Poster , showing portraits of local Asian leaders that make up the “new face” of Florida. The poster was signed by offi cers and members of the Federation that drove from Jack-sonville, Orlando, Palm Bay, Miami and other parts of the State to join Governor’s reception.

“This is an important year for us,” says Dr. Bruce, “because we are fi nally getting seen and heard as an important segment of society. We are also now joining hands in unity to push for a complete 2010 Census count of Asian Pacifi c Americans in Florida, that only happens every 10 years.”

Asians in Florida, in particular, have received very little support from the government, due to their lack of awareness on how the Census could affect them. During the 2000 Census, only 266,256 Asians were counted throughout the State of Florida.

“We have a much higher number than that,” adds Dr. Bruce. “It is important for us to get accu-rately counted so that the government and main-

stream media will be aware of how much we are contributing to society, and what kind of services, resources and programs we need to meet the needs of our community. We need to cooperate when the Census takers knock on our doors, to make sure that we are counted. ”

America has had a very successful fi rst half of the 2010 Census, where more than 72 percent of the nation’s households (including Florida) mailed back their census forms. Still, households that either didn’t mail back their form or didn’t receive one will be followed by door to door visits through July 10, to ensure that no one is missed in the Census.

This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the White House Initia-tive on Asian Americans and Pacifi c Islanders (AAPI), which was created by President Clin-ton to improve the quality of life in underserved Asian American and Pacifi c Islander communi-ties through increased participation in federal programs, and to make sure that the government is successfully working to address disparities in health care, in education, and economic opportu-nity that exists within various AAPI communities. Last October 2009, President Obama signed an executive order reestablishing the White House Initiative on AAPI.

Christina Lagdameo, Deputy Director of White House Initiative on AAPI will be meeting with del-egates of the Asian American Federation of Flori-da in Miami on June 7, 2010, to share information about government resources and initiatives to in-crease AAPI access to educational opportunities and participation in federal programs.

One of the advantages of living in Tallahassee is the diversity of people and cultures you come across when you walk around the town. This is not a co-incidence since Tallahassee is relatively a small city but attracts people from all over the state due the presence of gov-ernment, academic, and business cen-ters. You witness this vibrant diversity in the government offices, college cam-puses, restaurants and businesses, and at cultural and ethnic festivals and celebrations. Asians and Asian Pacific Americans represent one segment of this diversity. Even though they represent about 2.5% (Census 2000 data) of the total population of Tallahassee they are the fastest growing and influential ethnic group. Celebrating the diversity and recognizing the contributions of this group is gaining importance not only in Tal-lahassee but throughout the state of Florida. One such recognition is the celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

In 1977 NY Representative Frank Horton and CA Representative Norman Mineta introduced a US House resolution that called upon the Presi-dent of United States of America to declare the first ten days in May as the Asian Pacific Ameri-can Heritage Week. Soon Hawaii Senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga introduced a com-panion resolution in the US Senate. Both the reso-lutions passed and on October 5, 1978 President James Earl Carter signed the joint resolution. With the President’s signature the Asian Pacific Heri-tage Week Celebration officially began. Then the 101st Congress of United States passed the public

law 101-283 and President George H.W. Bush on May 14, 1991 signed it into law thus extending the week-long celebration to a month. Pursuant to this law President Barrack Obama has issued proc-lamation designating May as the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Cities, counties, and states across the US have since recognized this occasion in variety of ways.

Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (ACT | www.asiantlh.org) is a Florida non-profit umbrella orga-nization with over dozen member associations and

individuals rep-resenting sev-eral Asian and As ian-Pac i f i c countries. It was established in 2004 by the cur-rent Chairman Dr. Clyde Diao to allow people to get together, showcase the talents of its members, and share their rich culture and heri-tage with others

by organizing festivals and celebrations. In keeping with this tradition, ACT planned 2010 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebration with several events spread throughout the month of May:• Monday, May 3, 2010: Proclamation by Gover-

nor Charlie Crist of Florida• Friday, May 7-28, 2010: Asian Pacific American

Heritage Month Art Exhibition• Saturday, May 15, 2010: Asian Pacific American

Charlie Crist’s Mansion

Art ExhibitionTalented artists originally from India (Roopali

Kambo), Pakistan (Anosh Gill), and Japan (At-sunori Imai and Mikiko Tanaka) exhibited their artworks at the Reflections Art Gallery at the FSU Center for Global Engagement (CGE). The exhibi-

tion formally opened on Friday, May 7, 2010 and will remain open through the month of May. This Art Exhibition is one of the stops in Tallahassee’s First Friday Gallery tour. First Friday Gallery Tour is organized by Tallahassee’s Council on Cultural and Arts (COCA) to encourage people to visit art galleries thorough out the city on the first Friday of every month. With this Art Exhibition, ACT hopes to showcase the talents of Asian visual artists.

Celebration at CGEOn Saturday, May 15, 2010 fifteen different

groups and associations representing various Asian and Asian-Pacific countries gathered at the Center for Global Engagement for a daylong celebration of music, dance, visual and martial art displays. Dancers from World Ballet, Troupe Ara-besque, Tallahassee Japanese Community, TCC Dance Company, and Indian Gujarati Samaj per-formed several pieces representing their cultures and heritages dressed in beautiful ethnic attire. Members from the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Fili-pino communities played musical instruments, and sang vocal numbers. Okinawan martial arts and Arni de Mano groups demonstrated self-defense skills. Tallahassee mayor John Marks III welcomed the diversity and applauded the skills of the per-formers. Members of FSU’s Center for Global En-gagement were most passionate supporters of the gathering. This is obvious since large fraction of international students attending the colleges in Tal-lahassee come from Asian countries.

Classical Dance RecitalThe following day two Indian classical dancer/

choreographers Srividya Angara and Megaah Ash-hok took to the stage at FSU’s Moore auditorium and enthralled the crowd with several classical dance numbers. The dances they performed be-longed to the Kuchipudi style of the South Indian classical dance genre. Since they were not only dancers but choreographers themselves, they per-formed fusion numbers that combined the classi-cal Indian dance set to Western Classical music. Young children from Tallahassee who were learn-ing the classical dance form themselves performed a piece.

Cooking DemonstrationOn Tuesday, May 18 at FSU’s CGE and again

on Wednesday, May 19 at AZU restaurant, Taiwan-ese chefs Angela Cheng and When-Tsung Chen cooked delicious Chinese and Taiwanese dishes. They came to the United States to do the cook-

ing demonstration on the invitation of Lucy Ho a famous restaurateur and a Chinese cook herself to be part of the Asian Pacific American Heritage month. The chefs showed how to make Xing Bao mushroom and fried chicken salad to the delight of the audience. Then everyone enjoyed the freshly cooked dishes.

Governor’s Reception at the MansionThe final event that capped the month long cel-

ebration came on Monday, May 24, 2010 at the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee, Florida. On that evening between 6:00 and 7:30 PM Florida’s Governor Charlie Crist held a reception for over 350 Asian Pacific Americans and their families at the Governor’s Mansion. Asians from South, Cen-tral, Northwest, Southeast and North Florida were invited to the reception to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage month. The event was orga-nized by Dr Clyde Diao, Chairman, Asian Coalition of Tallahassee and Dr. Joy Bruce, President, Asian American Federation of Florida (AAFF). During the event, Mr Bob Sparks, Executive Deputy Chief of Staff for the Governor, Dr. Joy Bruce, President, AAFF, Dr. Thayumanasamy Somasundaram, President, India Association of Tallahassee, Dr. Clyde Diao, Chairman, Asian Coalition of Tallahas-see, and finally Honorable Charlie Crist, Governor of Florida spoke. Dr. Bruce praised the Governor for recognizing Florida Asian American commu-nities’ aspirations and Dr. Somasundaram men-tioned that the Governor’s willingness to engage with diverse group of people will make him a great role model for young people who are the future of Florida. During his speech, Dr. Diao mentioned that Governor Crist was the first Florida Gover-nor to make a proclamation recognizing the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and praised his leadership for continuing the tradition. Governor Crist mentioned that he is happy to part of Florida that is attracting people from diverse cultures and heritages, and recalled that he himself is a grand-son of immigrant from Cyprus. He concluded that Florida benefits from diversity of people irrespec-tive of whether they are Asian Americans, Hispanic American, or African Americans.

The events organized by Asian Coalition of Tallahassee highlighted not only the diversity of people it also demonstrated that several Asian and Asian Pacific American Associations can come to-gether for a common good.

Thayumanasamy Somasundaram, is the Chairman-Elect of Asian Coali-tion of Tallahassee and the President of India Association of Tallahassee.

Bathing Buddha Ceremony is the most cel-ebrated festival among Buddhists throughout the world. The Festival is to celebrate the birth of Buddha which took place 2,600 years ago in northern India. This year, Guang Ming Temple in Orlando had the Bathing Buddha celebration on May 16. Before 10:30am, the Main Shrine was already fi lled with people who were wait-ing for the grand opening ceremony. A red fl yer of “Three Acts of Goodness” was posted on the back of every chair to encourage participants to “do good thing, speak good words and think good thoughts”. The ceremony started with welcom-ing the Venerables and distinguished guests and opening speech by Venerable Chueh Fan. After praying, there were traditional offerings including candles, fruits, fl owers and incense. The rest of the day’s activities included Taiko Drummers, Indian Dances, Chinese Acrobatics, Chinese Dances, Tea Ceremony Demonstration, Chinese Calligraphy, Floral Exhibition, Food Fair, Temple Tour and Raffl e Drawings.

A group of people from all ages and all experi-ence levels of Tai Chi and qigong came together at Barber Park on April 24, 2010 with one purpose in mind: to promote world healing. This is what World Tai Chi and Qigong Day is all about. At 10:am in all time zones around the world, people are doing these “meditative exercises” to promote Tai Chi and Qigong, and to create a wave of healing around the world. I heard about this event, and thought it would be great to promote it here in Orlando, and I have been organizing it here for the past fi ve years. Each year it gets bigger and better! This year I achieved my goal of getting a proclamation declaring April 24th, 2010 World Tai Chi/ Qigong Day in Orlando, from Mayor Buddy Dyer. I was delighted to receive this acknowl-edgement of World Tai Chi Day.

At the event, about fi ve minutes before 10:00 am, people started fi nding places to do their forms. At precisely 10:00 am, everyone began performing their own styles of Tai Chi and Qigong. Some of the long forms lasted 20 minutes, and many of the people performing shorter forms re-

peated theirs more than once. There was a won-derful “8 pieces of Brocade” qigong form done by Sifu Sherri and her group. After all had fi nished, there was a great sense of calm and positive en-ergy amongst the participants. We then shared experiences and listened to a presentation the history of Tai Chi and Qigong. There was a “pot luck” lunch, where everyone brought food and drink for their group and to share. No one left hungry! We also had friendship demonstrations, where anyone who wanted to showed their forms and weapons routines in front of the group. This event was all about sharing and getting new people interested in these wonderful arts. These arts are a very “patient” kind of martial art and by watching those who have been practicing a long time, you can see the “internal” aspect of the art revealed! After this, there was a discussion of the I-Ching, and an explanation of Push Hands, which is a sensitivity drill that trains the martial aspect of Tai Chi Chuan. Learning these drills will make you much more aware of both yourself, your partner, and what is going on around you.

After a full day of shared energy and learning ex-periences, everyone felt great, and hopefully the Earth felt a little better too!

I would like to thank everyone that participat-ed in this event, especially the following teachers and sifus: Cliff Black, Sherri Duthing, Alex Liu, Katharine Vaccaro, Bob Waers and Jack Wright.

Sifu Sam Winters is a disciplined longtime practitioner of Tai Chi and Qigong of the Hsin Yung-I Chuan School of Tai Chi. He has per-formed at many Chinese festivals in the Orlando area for the past three years. He is a judge at the International Chinese Martial Arts tournaments, and has previously received medals competing in these tournaments. Anyone interested in par-ticipating in next year’s World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, having him performTai Chi demonstrations at Chinese events or instruction please contact Sam at (407) 238-7450 or email at [email protected].

Diverse Leadership for a Diverse Workshop

Asian American Heritage Month was celebrated through-out the month of May. Shally Wong from Asia Trend Maga-zine was invited to share with the employees at FEMA her view about diversity and her passion of becoming a pub-lisher. “The true diversity is about learning from others who are not the same and respect for all,” says Shally Wong in her speech. The mission of Asia Trend Magazine is to serve as a bridge between East and West. She believes that only understanding can ultimately solve confl ict. The Director of the Recovery Offi ce, Robert Ives in his closing remarks stated that “Diversity is not a program or a policy; it is our organizational fabric. Diversity drives innovations and encourages fresh approaches. FEMA must be a diverse workforce.”

Other programs included demonstration - “The Art of of Kwon Do” by Master Valez and a showcase of Asian Heritage by FEMA employees. This program was organized by the Equal Rights Offi ce and the Special Observances Planning Committee.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and fi rst responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. FEMA has more than 3,700 full time employees. They work at FEMA headquarters in Washington D.C., at regional and area offi ces across the country, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, and the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Series: Gourmet in Japan: 2Continued from last issue (May 2010).....

MOS Burger is one of the places I never miss the opportunity to stop by when I visit Japan.

The MOS Rice Burger uses a bun made of rice (more like rice patties) mixed with barley and millet.

When rice burgers were introduced in 1987, Tsukune Rice Burger was the very fi rst. Tsukune is Japanese chicken meatballs fried or grilled and seasoned with sweet soy sauce.

At MOS Burger, fl at and round Tsukune was sand-wiched in rice buns. Tsukune Burger is no longer avail-able, but they serve Yakiniku (grilled beef strips) Rice Burger, Kaisen Kakiage (seafood fritter) Burger and Kin-pira (fried burdock and carrot) Rice Burger these days.

I bought Kaisen Kakiage Rice Burger and hot tea for lunch on that day. After fi nishing the rice burger, I was still hungry.....hungry for Yakiniku Rice Burger!

Of course I got one. Both are so yummy and very fi lling because of the rice. I was satisfi ed and my stomach was settled.

This was followed by the performance of the Avenue Band, a trio of talented Thai musicians.

The main program began with AACC President Glenn Leong’s reading of the proclamation issued by Mayor Buddy Dyer proclaiming the month of May as Asian Pacifi c American Heritage Month in Orlando. This was fol-lowed by the reading of Mayor Buddy Dyer’s letter by City Commissioner Robert Stuart. After the introduction of the Board Members, VIP’s and special guests, a short talk was given by Ryan Bumgardner, Main Street Program Director, about the downtown Mills50 initiative. After all the intro-ductions and speeches were done, there were cultural dance presentations from Indian Horizons and the UCF FSA Dancers. Raffl e prizes were also drawn such as park tickets from Universal Studios and tickets to the Orlando show of the Shen Yun Performing Arts.

By Tae Shin Attorney at Law

Whether you are starting a business or pur-chasing investment property, one of the fi rst deci-sions you will have to make is the choice of entity that will be used to own your business or invest-ment. Choice of entity means the legal form your business will take. Popular entities include the limited liability company (LLC) and the S corpo-ration. Other less frequently used entities are general and limited partnerships, limited liability limited partnerships and traditional C corpora-tions. The selection of a business entity should take into account federal tax law, state liability statutes, estate planning and asset protection considerations.

From a liability perspective, corporations (both C and S corporations) and LLCs provide excellent protection to their owners from liabilities. General partnerships afford virtually no liability protection and are seldom used to own small businesses or investment properties.

For federal tax purposes, S corporations and LLCs are pass through entities. This means that the profi ts and losses of S corporations and LLCs fl ow through or pass through to the sharehold-ers or members who report the income or loss on their tax returns. Because the pass through profi ts are taxed only once to the shareholders or members, the S corporation and LLC eliminate

double taxation commonly associated with C corporation distributions.

LLCs are more commonly used than S cor-porations because they require less maintenance and upkeep than S corporations and have virtu-ally no restrictions on who can own an interest in the LLC. In the case of an active business, either the S corporation or LLC may be used. However, if the entity is to own investment real property, the LLC is almost always preferred over the S cor-poration. This is because real property can be transferred into and out of LLCs without recogniz-ing the gain from the property’s appreciation.

LLCs also offer protection from creditors in a way that corporations do not. In a corporation, a creditor simply attaches the shares of a debtor’s stock to gain all the debtor’s rights in the corpo-ration, including right to sell the shares. In an LLC (as well as a limited partnership), a creditor is only entitled to a charging order, or the rights to distributions from the LLC or limited partnership interests that the debtor owns.

For example, if a debtor owed money to a creditor and the debtor’s only asset was a par-cel of rental property held in a corporation, the creditor could attach the debtor’s shares in the corporation and sell the property to satisfy its debt. However, if the same property was held in

When Choosing A Business Entity: Which One Is Right For Me?

an LLC, the creditor could only obtain a charging order on the future distributions of cash from the LLC and would not be able to force a sale of the property to satisfy the debt. The charging order includes the right to the LLC’s k-1, which results in the creditor having to report income of the LLC whether or not the LLC distributes any cash. This results in the creditor having to pay tax on the LLC’s income even though the LLC never distrib-utes any cash.

It is never too late to review business or in-vestment structures to determine whether you have the proper entities in place to protect your investments. A review by an attorney can save you money in the long run.

Tooth loss dosen’t have to ruin your smile or your youthful appearance. Denistry has sevral cosmetic options for the tooth replacement that restore your appearance while maintaining the propper function of the teeth. Replacing missing teeth is important to keep the teeth from shifting into the space of the lost tooth. Dental implants and bridges are two solutions for this problem.

Dental implants can provide an option that feels and looks like the natrual tooth. Implants are metal posts which are surgical placed into the bone under the gum to act as a replacement root of the tooth. Once the implant is securely healed into the bone,then the visable crown of the tooth can be built on top of it . The surgeon who places the implant into the bone must allow time for the bone to heal around the implant securing into place. It is important that the implant acts as a strong base or the root for the tooth . Therefore, your dentist must wait several weeks or months before proceeding to build the crown or visible part of the tooth on top of the implant. If the tooth is being replaced is a front tooth, your dentist

may provide you with a temporary appliance to wear during the process. Once the implant has oseointegrated or fused to the bone , the porce-lain fused to the metal crown or pure porcelain crown can be custom made to fi t on top creating a natural looking tooth that functions much like your original tooth .

Implants are most often made of titanium be-cause it is proven to be compatable with bone and other tissues. However , not everyone is a candidate for implants. It is important that gum tissue and bone are in optimum health for the process to be successful. Your dentist will help determine if implants are the best treatmant for you.

If you fi nd out that you are not candidate for a dental implant , there are still options for you. Permanet bridges offer another solution for the tooth replacemant. Bridges work best when one or two missing teeth that are surrounded by healthy teeth on either side of them. These teeth are prepared by yourr dentist for crowns. An extra tooth or teeth are fabricated to fi t into the space

Loosing a tooth doesn’t have to ruin your smile

of the missing tooth or teeth and attached to the crowns made for those anchor teeth. Your dentist will make impressions of your teeth once they are prepared for the crowns and a dental laboratory will construct the bridge. The bridge will be made to match your bite and the color of your existing teeth. This will give you a natural look and a result that increases the youthful look of your smile.

A dentist that workd with cosmetic dentistry is your best resource for information. If you are con-sidering options for replacement of missing teeth, discuss your goals with your dentist to decide on the best solution for your personal situation.

Don’t go through life embarassed by your smile. Ask your dentist today about your options.

The unique thing about Refl exology is that the refl ex point or areas are arranged according to our actual organs. I’m a believer, so I believe God has made this arrangement to help human being to learn how to take care their health issues thou-sands years ago, way before modern medication was developed.

Meridian plays the key role in Refl exology. What is Meridian? Approximately three thou-sands years ago, the Chinese has discovered the meridians in human body systems, which are pretty much similar to the electricity running in hu-man body to supply the energies to all our body systems. In refl exology, the meridians are known as points or zones. To open these points or zones, the client will regain energy and have op-timistic health. Refl exology believes that human’s disease is caused by blockage of the meridians points or zones, once the points or zones applied with refl exology technique, the blood circulation are fl owing freely, the meridians then supplying normal energies to the entire body.

The prescription from western medical mostly costs side effects. The refl exology also has re-actions after receiving treatment. The following reactions are not unusual but normally will react to certain clients:

1. Increased urinations 2. Flatulence and more frequent bow movement3. Aggravated skin condition, increased perspira-

tion and pimples4. Improved skin tone and tissue texture due to

improved circulation5. Increased secretions of mucous membranes in

the nose, mouth and bronchial6. Disrupted sleep patterns, either deeper or

more disrupted7. A temporary out break of a disease that has

been suppressed8. Increases discharge from the vagina in women9. Feverishness

10. Tiredness11. Headache12. Depression, overwhelming desire to weep

Refl exology can be treated to people of all ages and sex. It always benefi ts to those who has health issues, chronic pain like Cancer, Aids, Parkinson, Alzheimer to release stress and pain.

Overactive teens can be treated and gradu-ally back to normal actions. Unrested infants should be treated with light touching and can sleep through all night.

Refl exology is a completely natural therapy that affords relief without the use of drugs. A per-son can avoid becoming ill and improve general

Wayne Chan, is a humor writer whose syndicated columns appear in a number of newspapers around the country. His web-site can be found at www.trooce.com. His most fervent wish is to see the San Diego Chargers win the Super Bowl and to be the best dad and husband he can be to his triplet kids and wife Maya. Of course, if

he could be a great parent while watching the Chargers win the Superbowl - even better.

As a child, I was an introvert, but I loved play-ing dodge ball on the blacktop at school. I was a good student, and like many Asian Americans, my parents always extolled the value of studying hard, and being a well-behaved student during and after class.

Every day, after coming home and fi nishing my homework, I practiced piano, another rite of passage for many Asian Americans growing up in the 70’s. While I didn’t have that much interest in the piano, I kept getting better and better, until I started competing in some local piano competi-tions and fared rather well.

Yet the one thing I always loved to do was to write. I constantly wrote poems or short stories, and I discovered with just the turn of a phrase I was able to express feelings in ways I could nev-er do out loud, particularly in front of a crowd.

For all intents and purposes, I had a happy and well-adjusted childhood…except for one thing.

That one thing was named Derrick Ho, or at least that’s what I am calling him.

Derrick was a year older than I, one of only two or three other Asians attending Patrick Henry High School. Derrick was slim, wore wire-rimmed glasses, was soft spoken, and was a bonafi de genius. Derrick was the best in everything he ever wanted to do. It didn’t matter what the activ-ity or class was – if Derrick participated, he would be the best.

Derrick had a genuinely humble manner about him, but his humbleness seemed to ema-

nate from a place deep inside him where along with his genius, he fi gured he might as well re-inforce his perfectness with an irritating dash of humility.

Of course, his accomplishments were truly daunting. Derrick played the piano as well, and he was known as one of the country’s most excit-ing prodigies. He won competition after competi-tion, both nationally and around the world.

In school, he won the California State Science project competition two years in a row. He was a straight “A” student, and graduated at the top of his class.

Upon graduating high school, he received a full scholarship to Harvard, where he earned double majors and also joined the Harvard sym-phony, where he ended up playing the violin, and played so well he became the fi rst chair violinist of the symphony.

I hated Derrick. But not for the reasons you might think.

While Derrick’s accomplishments were surely daunting, I wasn’t particularly jealous of him. The natural impulse for most people when confronting someone with singular talent is not necessarily to be envious.

When standing in front of a Van Gogh paint-ing or listening to a Beethoven concerto, your fi rst reaction wouldn’t usually be “I feel like an idiot be-cause I can’t do that.” One can appreciate a work of art or genius simply for what it is - genius.

Except, in this case.

As many Asian Americans can probably at-test, a common practice for parents to prod their kids to success was to compare their accom-plishments to those of others who were excelling. Since my parents were friends of Derrick’s par-ents, Derrick became my “Role Model”.

Inevitably, almost on a weekly basis, one or both of my parents would say something like:

“Derrick just won the grand prize at the so and so festival in New York!”

Or, “Derrick entered the state science fair and was just written up in the newspaper!”

Or, Derrick is taking three AP classes for col-lege and got all ‘A’s!

At the end of each exclamation, my mom or dad would inevitably follow up the statement with, “Wayne, if you’d just study a little harder you

could be like Derrick”, as if true genius can be at-tained simply by putting down a comic book and staying up to study a half hour more.

But with the passage of time, it’s hard to re-call every one of Derrick’s achievements, but for those I still remember, the sheer brilliance of each event seems to increase in magnitude with each passing year, as if each accomplishment contin-ued to become that much more unattainable to us mortals as the years rolled by. Even Derrick’s real achievements could never compare to my exaggerated recollections of what he’d done.

Here are some of my recollections. You tell me if my mind is playing tricks on me.

Derrick wins the Young Pianists competition, by rewriting and playing Beethoven’s Piano Con-certo #5. I believe he called it, Beethoven’s Fifth, The Improved Version.

Derrick wins the 1976 California State Sci-ence Project competition with his project, “Global Warming – It hasn’t started yet but it’s coming!”

Derrick wins the 1977 California State Sci-ence Project competition with his project, “Global Warming – How I stopped it with leftover parts in my backyard.”

OK, maybe I’m embellishing…a little.

I haven’t seen Derrick in over 20 years now. I hear he’s living a quiet, simple life, keeping most-ly to himself and surprisingly, not taking the world by storm. I heard that he had some diffi culties living up to the expectations that he and others had set for him.

My guess is that if he had to do it over again, he’d like to take some time off and just read a comic book.

One of these days, I’d like to catch up with him. I’d hope that despite us taking different life paths, we’d fi nd that we both turned out OK. I’d like to shake his hand.

Maybe he’d be up for a game of dodge ball.

This massage dates back as far as the 5th century and was associated with Keralite foot massage called “Chavutti Thirummal”Chavutti Thirummal was practiced by having the person positioned face down, laying on a mat and covering the body with oils. The practitioner grabbed hold of a rope hung over head using it for balance while performing this Hindu and Ayurvedic ritual with bare feet. The technique was given in conjunction with following the energy lines, similar to Thai massage. This was done in Kerala, India, located off the Indian ocean on the southern tip of India, as part of Kerala training, a martial art. The technique is believed to have begun in India spreading through surrounding countries and continents of Asia, the Oceania and Pacific Islands.

It was a warm and breezy Saturday in May and a large crowd has gathered to participate in the celebration of the rich cultures, traditions, and heritages of Asia and the Pacifi c.

May is Asian-Pacifi c American Heritage Month and this particular Saturday, May 15th, people from several counties have come to the 3rd Annual Asian Pacifi c American Festival at the F. Burton Smith Regional Park in Brevard Coun-ty. The park has a lot to offer visitors; boating, camping, disc golf, fi shing, horseshoe pits, nature trails, and a playground, but today’s event will be held in the large Pavilion that can seat several hundreds of people comfortably. The beautiful stage in the Pavilion will act as the center point for today’s festivities.

The event was hosted by the Florida’s Space Coast Filipino-American Charitable & educational Foundation, Inc (Florida’s SFACEF, Inc.). The mission of Florida’s SFACEF is to develop, raise

funds, fi nance, construct and maintain a “Cen-ter” that will promote Filipino-American folk art for education, scientifi c, religious, and charitable activities. SFACEF Chairperson, Romeo “Romie” K. Dela Paz was a wonderful host along with the other Board of Directors and volunteers.

In celebration of APAHM a “Resolution” was made by the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners and was presented to Romie Dela Paz by Ms. Jane Conrad on behalf of the Resolution Sponsor: Mary M. Bolin Chairman of the Board of Brevard County Commissioners.

Now you may be thinking how do you cel-ebrate an Asian Pacifi c Festival? The answer is with a lot of cultural performances and a lot of good food.

Performances by Ashley Dupaya (Tahitian Dance), Indonesian Angklung musical perfor-mance, Indonesian Dance, Martial Arts dem-onstration, Sanlahi Dancers, Okinawa Dance,

Philippine Cultural Dance (Ensemble), and vocal renditions by Marie Giselle.

Food vendor such as Pacifi c Junction was able to provide delicious food such as Pancit Noodles, Chicken Adobo, Egg Rolls, BBQ Pork, Bun Cakes, Multicolored Puto, and much more. But no summer festival would be complete with-out the all time summer treat, Halo Halo my per-sonal favorite.

It was a wonderful day and a perfect way to celebration the diverse cultures that make up our great country. I look forward to more celebration in the future with Florida’s SFACEF, Inc.

Duanwu Festival, also known as Double Fifth or Dragon Boat Festival, is the fi fth day of the fi fth lunar month. Duanwu Festival is one of the most popular festivals in China. As it always falls in the hottest season of the year, Chinese American Association of Central Florida decided to celebrate this festival in the spring water at the Kelly Park, Rock Springs this year. Families and friends arrived early in the morning and enjoyed the wonderful fl oating tube ride. Besides, CAACF prepared a barbecue lunch, fun wooden boat race and legend telling for the members. “We would like to especially thank David Hoeh for building the boat tracks and Susan Hoeh for making the little wooden boats so that we can have a mini boat race at the park. Thanks every family that has joined us and we have a fun time together play-ing the games, enjoying the Zhong Zhi and learn-ing the Duanwu story,” says Pauline Ho, president of CAACF.

Chinese American Association of Central Florida is a non-profi t organization founded in 1969 in Or-lando. CAACF established The Chinese School and The Dancing Troupe in 1980 to promote the Chinese education and to preserve the Chinese culture. CAACF organizes three cultural events in a year including Chinese New Year, Duanwu Sum-mer Festival (Dragon Boat Festival) and Mid-Autumn Festival. Visit www.orlandochinese.org for more information.
