Hsieh and Shuai win Wimbledon women’s doubles title Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) players Su-Wei Hsieh from Taiwan and Peng Shuai from the Mainland partnered in the women’s doubles competition. Together they won the Wimbledon women’s doubles finals.

It is also a successful model for Cross-Strait cooperation. Su-Wei Hsieh became the first player from Taiwan to win a Grand Slam title. Hsieh and Shuai, both 27 years old, have been friends since their junior days.

Su-Wei Hsieh played the net and Peng Shuai played the baseline, adopting an up-and-back strategy that permitted both offense and defense.

Su-Wei Hsieh was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Hsieh first picked up a tennis racket when she was only 5 years old. Her talent has been obvious since childhood. Peng Shuai was born in Xiangtan, Hunan. The two are the same age. They have known each other since childhood, when the two met and competed on the tennis court. The two became life long friends. The two have each experienced career ups and downs. In singles competition, Peng Shuai has fared somewhat better. The highest she has ranked is 14th. The highest Su-Wei Hsieh has ranked is 23rd. She has never reached the top ranks.

Between 2008 and 2009, Su-Wei Hsieh and Peng Shuai partnered in four matches and won four victories. They easily won four champion-

ships in Indonesia, Australia, Italy, and Mainland China. Later on, during their golden years, the two chased after their own dreams. For four years, each pursued solo victories. This year however, the two players’ parents encouraged the two to once again work together. The two recently won the women’s doubles championship in Italy, offering us a preview of their upcoming success at Wimbledon.  Compiled by Asia Trend

A painting by contemporary Chinese artist Qi Baishi gets 80 mln dollars in auction A painting by contemporary Qi Baishi Pine Intergraph masterpiece “Pine Tree and Eagle” is starting from a base price US$ 28 million, is fierce competition for collectors, and ultimately to US$ 70 million final, plus 15% commission, the total reached US$ 80.5 million, a record onepiece Chinese painting and calligraphy auction this year, the highest on record.

Miss Silicon Valley Crystal Lee was crowned Miss California 2013 and a $12,000 scholarship on Saturday night, June 29 after competing with 61 young women participated in the competition from around the state at William Saroyan Theatre at Fresno Convention Center in Central California for the 21st consecutive year.

Lee was selected Miss California’s Outstanding Teen in 2008. Lee is a Stanford University graduate and she is “currently a senior at Stanford majoring in Human Biology and finishing MA in Communication.” while her pageant platform is “Girls in S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).”

266 cm by 100 cm and a pair of calligraphy scrolls each measuring 264.5 cm by 65.8 cm. It is said to be Qi’s largest work.

The auctioned work, according to the signature on the scroll, was finished in 1946 when the painter was 86 years old.

Qi Baishi was an influential Chinese painter. Qi was born in 1864 in central China’s Hunan Province and died at the age of 93. Born to a peasant family from Xiangtan, Hunan, Qi became a carpenter at 14, and learned to paint by himself.

After he turned 40, he traveled, visiting various scenic spots in China.

Although he relished the portrayal of small things, such as birds, fish, fruit and vegetables, Qi was also known as an outstanding calligrapher.

The work of Qi, entitled “Eagle Standing on Pine Tree with Fourcharacter Couplet in Seal Script,” consists of a painting measuring

High Tech, Low Life

PBS Premiere: July 22, 2013 / Online: July 23, 2013 – Aug. 21, 2013 High Tech, Low Life follows two of China’s first citizen-reporters as they document the underside of the country’s rapid economic development. A search for truth and fame inspires young vegetable seller “Zola” to report on censored news stories from the cities, while retired businessman “Tiger Temple” makes sense of the past by chronicling the struggles of rural villagers. Land grabs, pollution, rising poverty, local corruption and the growing willingness of ordinary people to speak out are grist for these two bloggers who navigate China’s evolving censorship regulations and challenge the boundaries of free speech.

As the Zhangs navigate their new world, Last Train Home paints a rich, human portrait of China’s rush to economic development. Last Train Home won Best Documentary and Outstanding Business and Economic Reporting— Long Form.

The “Dueling Dragons of Orlando” Benefit Fundraising Event

Commissioner Patty Sheehan and Andrea Eliscu

 By Andrea Eliscu

The Dueling Dragons of Orlando Dragon Boat Racing Team (aka “Cops and Kids”) is an unlikely partnership between at-risk teens and officers from the Orlando Police Department who have joined together to become a one-of-a- kind, competitive racing team. The Kids come from the City’s Operation Positive Direction, Parramore Kidz Zone, and the Orlando Parks and Recreation Department. The Cops and Kids both participate as volunteers in this year-round program.

The big competitive Festivals this team will attend are both the Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival in September and the Walgreens International Dragon Boat Festival in October 2013. The group is very busy raising the $33,000 that it will take to transport the team to their first International event. Fund raisers including the PAAD event at the Maitland Mercedes Benz in April, the Wine Tasting and auction at the Wellesley in late June, the OPD food truck at Lake Eola on July 4th and the Monarchs baseball game at Tinker Field on July 13th. The Monarch’s event will also host a blood drive with the big red bus to assist our community’s summer blood needs.

The team is within $5000.00 of their $33,000.00 goal. It’s been a long haul with great thanks to Universal, Edyth Bush Founda-

tion, WDW, BB&T, Mears Transportation and NeuroSpine Institute, PAAD, CHARGE, Orlando Rowing Club and many wonderful friends of the padding community.

Inner city youth often have a hard time trusting anyone, especially the police. They have grown up in low-income households, often with broken families and dependent on public assistance just to survive. They are surrounded by violence and crime on a daily basis, and as a result, they also see the police as the enemy.

Furthermore, leading a healthy lifestyle is seldom if ever encouraged, and most of these young people feel no need to excel in school as they see for themselves the same future as their parents and neighbors. Gang related activity is often the only form of “team” they’ve ever known.

By its very nature, the sport of dragon boating requires teamwork, trust, leadership, perseverance and dedication in order to succeed. On the 2013 team we have teen paddlers with a parent incarcerated in prison. Yet these teens work to stay on the positive side of society. In the dragon boat the Cops and Kids interact as equals and learn to rely on each other in ways that only teammates can understand. Over time, relationships are built that transcend the dragon boating expe-

rience and filter into daily life with their families and friends.

Additionally, they must complete a physical exam documenting their height, weight, vision, and blood pressure. They will complete a screening for orthopedics as well handled by both Howard Phillips Center Teen Express physicians and APH pediatric sports trainers. Finally, all the Kids must stay in school avoid truancy and behaviors in school that could result in suspension and avoid any activity that could cause them to be arrested. In our three years of dragon boat paddling, all of our teen paddlers have been leaders and not violated any of these negative behaviors.

The Cops and Kids team is a year round program. They practice weekly and participate in local and long distance events. Expenses for the program can include: payment to the coach and steer person, healthy snacks and dinner at weekly practice, water, Gatorade, sunscreen, towels, transportation to practice and to local and long distance events, festival entry fees, and lodging, meals and amenities for long distance events.

Currently, The Community Food and Outreach Center in partnership with Chik-fil-A provide dinner after each practice for our hungry kids who have told us they often do not get dinner once

https://www.facebook.com/asiatrend

they go home after practice. However, there is no guarantee of future funding.

The measures of success for this program include some that are concrete and some that are more subjective. They include: • Mastery of the technical skills required in dragon boating (measured weekly) • Maintaining a healthy state of physical fitness (measured at beginning and end of each season) • Attending practice regularly (measured weekly)

Bobbie Johnson, Team CHARGE members Susan and Eppie

• Attending school (measured each season)

Walgreens Market Vice President Marlin Hutchens and Joe Wheeler

• Avoiding arrest (measured at the end of each season) • Developing and maintaining respectful and positive relationships with all team members, coaches and mentors This experience has been life changing for both OPD cops and our kids. They are building a team, making commitments to themselves and learning consequences to good decision-making that can be live through life.

Rotary Club of Celebration proudly supports the Walgreens Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival  By Asia Trend

John Chung & C.K. Lau

Debbie: Although Rotary District 6980 is comprised of 46 clubs, some clubs are too small and will not participate independently but may partner with other clubs. Additionally, clubs may have already dedicated their resources to other service projects. However as the new Rotary Year began on July 1, enthusiasm for the project is high. While some clubs are still examining this exciting and fun opportunity for service – we already have 4 teams!

AT: What would you like to say to the other corporations or organizations who have not been involved in this initiative yet?

Rotary Club of Celebration invites Dragon Boat to be part of the July 4th Parade Celebration

Debbie Gryniewicz, Public Relations Chair of the Rotary Club of Celebration shares with Asia Trend Magazine their thoughts on their participation in the Walgreens Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival to benefit the MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando.

AT: How does Rotary Club get involved in the Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival?

They are getting ready to paddle for a great cause

Debbie: The Rotary motto “Service Above Self” conveys the humanitarian spirit of Rotary, Strong fellowship among Rotarians and meaningful community and international service projects characterize Rotary worldwide. This year, the 46 clubs of Rotary District 6980 in Central Florida, under the leadership of District Governor, Pete Edwards, are being challenged by the Rotary Club of Celebration to vie for the Rotary Cup in the Walgreen’s Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival. Participation in this event will raise funds for cancer awareness, research and services to cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center here in Orlando. For anyone seeking additional information, the Rotary Club of Celebration can be contacted at rcc34747@gmail.com.

AT: What benefits would you expect to get out from the dragon boating?

Debbie: For more than 25 years, Rotary has led the private sector in the Polio Plus Project, a continuing global effort to rid the world of Polio by inoculating over 2 Billion children. Recently, Rotary’s growth has been challenged by aging members, economic factors and the perception that Rotary is primarily comprised of elderly professional male members. Participation in the Dragon Boat festival will enable Rotary to serve an excellent cause as they build greater local community awareness and attract new members.

Debbie: GET INVOLVED! Not only will participation in the Walgreen’s Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival offer civic or service groups, small companies, large corporations and even communities an opportunity to raise money for an excellent cause, it also fosters team spirit and cooperation through a healthy and fun experience. The opportunities for social and professional networking and growth are endless.

Walgreens Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival will be held on Friday October 18th & Saturday October 19, 2013 at Downtown Disney West Side, Florida. Mark your calendar and come out to cheer for your favorite team. More than 80 teams are expected in the Festival. Visit http://www.gwndragonboat.com for more details.

Filipino Americans Celebrate 115th Anniversary of  By Lita Abril Martija Declaration of Philippine Independence ORLANDO -- Filipino Americans in Central Florida joined their compatriots at home and abroad in celebrating a red letter date in Philippine history - the 115th anniversary of the declaration of its independence from the tyranny of Spanish colonialism. It was in June 12, 1898, 115 years ago, when the country’s almost 4 centuries of struggle for nationhood culminated, a historic milestone that also marked the ascension of their country as the first constitutional democracy in Asia transforming it as an independent and proud nation of the world. The declaration ceremony was solemnly held at the balcony of General Emilio Aguinaldo’s residence in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines. A dramatic feature of the ceremony was the unfurling and hoisting of a Filipino flag for the first time, and the playing of a Philippine National Anthem. The stirring melody of the anthem was composed by Julian Felipe, a Filipino music teacher, and the lyrics, added

Nena Reed (FAVS of JACKSONVILLE); Gina Alberto (PACC), Tess Snow (VML)

more than a year later, were from a poem written by Jose Palma, a poet soldier.

The hoisted flag was made of silk with a white triangle at the left and a sunburst of eight rays at the center, There was an upper stripe of dark blue and a lower stripe of red. The white triangle stands for equality. The blue stripe stands for peace, truth and justice, and the red strip stands for patriotism and valor.

The eight rays inside the triangle represented the first eight provinces that took up arms against Spain. The three stars represented the three major islands of the Philippines Luzon,Visaya, and Mindanao. The declaration was signed by 98 persons including one American - Colonel of Artillery L.M. Johnson.

The Filipino, by race and culture, is a harmonious blend of the East and the West. It is the first Republic in Asia. In the words of author and historian Sonia Zayde, “--the Philippines, a melting pot, is on the crossroads of

world cultures and races, the meeting place of all aviation, shipping and trade routes in the Orient. Thus - it plays an important role in the drama of international events.--” The Council of Filipino American Organizations of Central Florida (a/k/a CFAO) led the commemoration by holding a “Filipino Fiesta” on June 15, 2013 at the Marks Street Senior Center at the corner of Magnolia and Marks Street in downtown Orlando. The “Fiesta” opened at 2:30 pm with educational and cultural presentations, and featured dry goods and business booths, and vendors serving native delicacies. There were over four hundred attendees. Performers included singers Norman Sideco, Noel Arriola, 11-year old Paige Manuel, 14-year old Nikki Rosales, James de Leon, Butch Gepilano. and 9-year old Sandra Sanchez. The Bayanihan at Wedgefield Dance Troupe presented two native dances - “Subli and “Tinikling”, the national dance of the Philip-

Coral Springs Chinese School students singing Taiwan ROC National Anthem to full house at Sunny Isles Beach sister city ceremony in Commissioners Chambers

Sunny Isles Beach, Florida new Asia Sister City—

Hengchun, Taiwan, ROC Sunny Isles Beach, Florida has a new Asia Sister City! After becoming sisters with Netanya, Isreal and Taormina, Sicily, Italy, Sunny Isles Beach Mayor Norman S. Edelcup on June 17, 2013 signed the official sister city agreement with Hengchun, Taiwan, ROC! The twin cities were first introduced by Sunny Isles Beach resident as Sunny Isles International Ambassador to Asia, Fang Oliver.

After two years of planning by Mrs. Fang Oliver, two cities finally reached an agreement.

Hengchun Mayor Yeh arrived at Fort Lauderdale airport on June 15 with his wife and ten government and tourism delegates.It was their first visit to the USA for each of the Taiwanese delegates.

With some jet lag and after check-in at Sole oceanfront resort, the delegates were welcomed

by Fang Oliver, Mayor Edelcup, City Commissioners, Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce Miami, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission and over one hundred leaders from the Asian community to enjoy a traditional Chinese nine course gourmet lunch at Chef Ho & Dim Sum Restaurant, Sunny Isles Beach.

After lunch, the delegation returned to oceanfront suites at Sole resort to clean up before joining the Grand opening of the New Sunny Isles Beach Oceanfront Pier Park, restaurant and fishing Pier. Delegates soon forgot feeling Jet lag as they enjoyed colossal grilled shrimp, tropical fruits and a calypso steel drum band playing for the crowd of over 2,500 from the new pier. Hengchun delegates were seated at VIP guests tables on the beach and invited to join the ribbon cutting grand opening of the pier. All enjoyed assorted entertainers, a fire lighted exotic sand sculpture and a spectacular fireworks display. Mayor Edelcup office also had a nice surprise for Hengchun Mayor: The first sky lanterns release in South

Florida! For sure, it was a busy first day for the Hengchun guests.

During the five day visit, Hengchun officials played golf at the legendary Turnberry Isle Country Club and were invited by Florida International University for a tour and lunch to exchange ideas and discuss possibilities of a Taiwan student, professor campus exchange program. Other activities included discussions of tourism and cultural exchange. The group visited Gulfstream Village, Bal Harbour shops, Greynolds Castle Park and the site of the 10th annual Chinese Dragonboat Race Festival at Haulover Intracoastal Waterway Park. Sunny Isles Beach as 2012 title sponsor, entered a team of paddlers from the city and won first place in their division. Can we imagine future Dragonboat race competitions to include international race paddlers from Taiwan?

Since incorporation sixteen years ago, the city of Sunny Isles Beach, has seen increased Asian visitors and city residents.

Sincere appreciation was evident at the official signing ceremony in City Hall where a dozen students from the Coral Springs Chinese school sang the national anthem before the standing

room only crowd. Gifts were exchanged including from Hengchun Mayor Yeh, three Moon guitars with burned images of the Mayor Edelcup, Honorable Vice Mayor Thaler, and Ambassador Fang Oliver. A Joy Orchid Magnolia tree was presented to the city by Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce Miami and will be planted in the new four acre Gateway Park and Butterfly Garden located on Rt. 826 & Collins Ave. in Sunny Isles Beach.

After the signing ceremony, New York Empire Szechuan restaurant located only one minute from Sunny Isles Beach provided four dish choices and dumplings while Mary Ann’s Chinese Bakery donated pastries for all the community participants in Sunny Isles Beach reception hall.

A final breakfast meeting was held oceanfront at the five diamond Acqualina Resort Hotel and Condominium and a spectacular dim sum lunch was enjoyed at the Tropical Chinese restaurant before departing Miami.

As friendships, educational, tourism and cultural exchanges grow, everyone can receive location information from www.FangOliver.com and follow Hengchun on the Sunny Isles Beach website of sister cities. www.sibfl.net

Uncovering Hidden History in Mills 50

Real estate developer Jorge Boone and architect Wes Featherston of Process Architecture are renovating one of Mills 50’s most historic buildings – a nondescript property next to another landmark that many still know as the “Cruises Only” building.

This building at 1015 E. Colonial Drive housed the Cameo Theatre, a single screen movie house that opened on Christmas Day,

1940. It was a latecomer in Orlando’s theatres and was located just a block west of the Vogue Theatre.

Open for less than five years, the Cameo sat abandoned for years, except for an occasional booking. The building was remodeled and occupied for years by IBM. Since then it has had many occupants and has often been vacant. In October 2008, it was in use as a live performance theatre but closed again in 2009. Boone purchased the property in February of this year and hopes to attract a tenant that will be a distinctive addition to the increasingly funky, hip, eclectic Mills 50 district.

the “Cameo Building”, as Boone calls it. The second floor is already home to four offices, including that of Process Architecture and two talent agencies. Boone wants to create a new façade for the building, one that recalls the vintage look of the original Cameo Theatre. But he and Featherston are having problems locating exterior photos of the building as it looked in the 1940’s. Featherston says “We have a renaissance that’s occurring in Mills 50 that’s partly due to the emerging fascination with mid-century modern architecture, of which most of this district is comprised.”

Please contact Wes Featherston at wes@ beginprocess.com if you have any photos of the Cameo.

Construction has begun on the interior of

ClearOne Orlando “Wins” with New Coach!

The first 3 letters of Hendry Winarto last name says it all W-I-N. Hendry has recently joined ClearOne Badminton Centre in Orlando and ClearOne is now able to offer world-class badminton training to all levels of badminton enthusiasts. Orlando is following in the tradition set by its sister locations up in Western Canada, where world-class coaching has been offered for the last 10 years.

Coach Hendry hails from Indonesia where he was one the top Indonesian Juniors by the age of 18 and went on to play and coach at the national level in Spain. Hendry’s accomplishments are extensive and a selection includes: • Surabaya Cup U19 Champion (the best Under 19 player in Indonesia) • Spanish League Champion • 4-time Spanish League Finalist with CB IES LA ORDEN • Jakarta Open U19 Finalist • Pakistan International Finalist • Toulouse International Semi-finalist • Portuguese International Semi-finalist Hendry aims at growing the sport on the eastern seaboard of the US as well as the entire Pan American region in a similar way in which it has exploded in California over the last 10 years.

Hendry comments “It has been a privilege to come to Orlando to be a part of such a professional organization and to work with so many talented and hard working individuals with a common goal - to grow the sport of badminton in North America. I hope to help players of all ages enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and to encourage those who wish to play at the county, state, national or international level.”

Hendry coaches group lessons and private lessons to all levels and to all ages throughout the week. Many of Florida’s badminton enthusiasts are lining up to learn from ClearOne’s Master Coach.

ClearOne Orlando has produced numerous National champions at the 2013 National Masters Tournament in the Adult 40+, 45+ and 50+ categories. The aim is to achieve similar results with the junior categories from under 9 to under 19, and ultimately produce World and Olympic level players.

34

ASIA TREND

Badminton and sports enthusiasts will get an opportunity to see World and Olympic level players this November as ClearOne will play host to the 2013 YONEX USA INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE. Many PanAmerican Champions, as well as International players from around the world will travel to Orlando as one of their International tour stops. It will be the first time an International Challenge level tournament will take place in Florida giving many future 2016 Olympic hopefuls the chance to earn important world ranking points.

ClearOne envisions Orlando to be a future PanAmerican Training Centre with interest from surrounding areas of Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Peru, Guatemala, Brazil and Mexico being some of the top nations.

With the arrival of ClearOne’s world-class coaching and its close proximity to all the badminton nations mentioned above, it is a natural fit to have a Pan-Am training centre in the city of Orlando.

Winners need nurturing and ClearOne is starting this process early with badminton classes as well as the start of Summer Camps commencing the beginning of July which will offer both badminton and table tennis. Students will receive coaching from Hendry in Badminton and Hung Tran (President of the Central Florida Table Tennis Club, and one of only 2 recognized coaches in the USA to hold a world coaching certificate in Table Tennis). Kids will certainly enjoy their time with these two coaches!

If you are looking for something new and exciting to try, ClearOne Badminton Centre Orlando is the place to satisfy your needs. Whether you are in the market for fun, entertaining exercise,
