ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH, 2014

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION During Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we celebrate the accomplishments of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, and we reflect on the many ways they have enriched our Nation. Like America itself, the AAPI community draws strength from the diversity of its many distinct cultures -- each with vibrant histories and unique perspectives to bring to our national life. Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have helped build, defend, and strengthen our Nation -- as farm workers and railroad laborers; as entrepreneurs and scientists; as artists, activists, and leaders of government. They have gone beyond, embodying the soaring aspirations of the American spirit.

This month marks 145 years since the final spike was hammered into the transcontinental railroad, an achievement made possible by Chinese laborers, who did the majority of this backbreaking and dangerous work. This May, they will receive long-overdue recognition as they are inducted into the Labor Hall of Honor.

Generations of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have helped make this country what it is today. Yet they have also faced a long history of injustice -- from the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and its devastating impact on the history, language, and culture of Native Hawaiians; to opportunitylimiting laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Immigration Act of 1924; to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Even today, South Asian Americans, especially those who are Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh, are targets of suspicion and violence.

With courage, grit, and an abiding belief in American ideals, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have challenged our Nation to be better, and my Administration remains committed to doing its part. Nearly 5 years ago, I re-established the White House Initiative on AAPIs. The Initiative addresses disparities in health care, education, and economic opportunity by ensuring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders receive equal access to government programs and services.

We are also determined to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would modernize our legal immigration system, create a pathway to earned citizenship for undocumented immigrants, hold employers accountable, and strengthen our border security. These commonsense measures would bring relief to Asian American and Pacific Islanders who have experienced this broken system firsthand, and they would allow our country to welcome more highly skilled workers eager to contribute to America’s success.

This month, as we recall our hard-fought progress, let us resolve to continue moving forward. Together, let us ensure the laws respect everyone, civil rights apply to everyone, and everyone who works hard and plays by the rules has a chance to get ahead.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2014 as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to visit www.WhiteHouse. gov/AAPI to learn more about the history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-eighth.

Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Mayor Teresa Jacobs was joined by Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles, Property Appraiser Rick Singh, District 3 Commissioner Pete Clarke, District 4 Commissioner Jennifer Thompson, District 5 Commissioner Ted Edwards and Congressman Daniel Webster at the Second Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebration.

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs provided the keynote speech at the County’s Second Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Month ceremony and commemorated the celebration with a proclamation presented to the Orange County Asian Committee (OCAC) at the Board of County Commissioners meeting.

“As one of the most culturally inclusive communities in the United States, Orange County continues to be a leader in advancing diversity,” Mayor Jacobs said. “Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is an opportunity to recognize the diverse culture of Asian Americans and the accomplishments and contributions they have made. Throughout the history of our nation, Asian Americans have helped shape America’s charac-

ASIA TREND

ter, becoming a vital, vibrant, and dynamic asset to the Central Florida community. Their talents, skills, and vitality greatly contribute to the economic growth of our region.”

The event was coordinated by the OCAC, which was formed in 2012 with the goal of promoting and preserving the heritage and culture of Asian Americans, forming partnerships throughout the community, and continuing to build relationships with local and international governments.

“We have more diversity and an inclusive culture within our community,” said Hefang Lin, Ph.D., president of OCAC and statistician for Orange County Corrections. “It’s so exciting to bring everyone together in the same room to celebrate our shared culture.”

This year’s celebration also featured remarks

by Congressman Daniel Webster, District 4 Commissioner Jennifer Thompson, District 3 Commissioner Pete Clarke, District 5 Commissioner Ted Edwards, and a representative of District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd.

Additionally, winners of the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month art show were announced and the Distinguished Asian Award was presented to Alvin Wang, Ph.D., dean of the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida, for his outstanding leadership and dedication to education.

The celebration included musical performances by Professor Qiuyu Zhou and by students from University High School, Timber Creek High School, Trinity Preparatory School, and Sanford Middle School.

“We have a wonderful Asian Pacific community in Orange County with a shared heritage we enjoy celebrating this month,” Commissioner Ted Edwards said. “The richness of the culture’s art, music, and dance greatly contributes to what makes our County such a unique, diverse, and great place to live.”

US Labor Department to induct the Chinese Railroad Workers of 1865-1869 into the Labor Hall of Honor on Friday, May 9

This month marks the 145th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad

Statue of a couple of Chinese Iron Rail Workers at the San Luis Obispo Amtrak Station

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez will formally induct into the Labor Hall of Honor approximately 12,000 Chinese immigrant laborers who worked on the Central Pacific Railroad between 1865 and 1869. The Chinese Railroad Workers are the first Asian Americans to receive such a tribute since the establishment of the Hall of Honor in 1988.

Their efforts, which connected the United States from east to west, laid the foundation for the extraordinary economic prosperity enjoyed by the nation in the years that followed.

Many of these workers risked their lives and even perished from the harsh winters and dangerous working conditions. They faced prejudice, low wages and social isolation. Yet, despite these challenges, they courageously took a stand to organize for fairer wages and safer working conditions.

Their efforts not only stitched our nation together, but also advanced the American ideals of equal opportunity; collective organizing and good, safe

https://www.facebook.com/asiatrend

jobs for all workers, immigrant and American-born alike.

As President Obama noted in his Presidential Proclamation, May is designated as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, in part because the Transcontinental Railroad was completed on May 10, 1869.

On the eve of the 145th anniversary of that accomplishment, we honor these pioneers for their dedication and perseverance to the job of building this great nation and for highlighting the power of immigrant laborers. The national theme of AAPI Heritage Month 2014 is “I Am Beyond,” challenging all Americans to look beyond stereotypes and misguided perceptions of the AAPI communities, which have made profound contributions to the American way of life – and the American way of work – throughout our nation’s history.  Source whitehouse.gov ASIA TREND

Suncoast Association of Chinese Americans Celebrates the Year of Horse

 By Suncoast Association of Chinese American (SACA)

This Chinese New Year is the Year of Horse.

The year of the Horse suggests one to exercise caution and avoid unstable situations. People born in the year of the Horse are loyal, courageous, and ambitious.

SACA (Suncoast Association of ChineseAmericans) Tampa Bay Chinese associations jointly hosted the 2014 Chinese New Year Celebration with City of Largo at Largo Central Park, 101 Central Park Drive, Largo, Florida on Saturday, February 1, 2014. The Mayor of Largo, Patricia Gerard, was one of many key speakers at this year’s celebration. This year’s celebration was free and opened to the public. Estimated 5,000 people attended this event.

The park was lined with red lanterns throughout. A Chinese Pagoda Gate with two miniature lions stood in the front of the entrance. It was truly a cultural experience to walk through the

8

ASIA TREND

park and be ‘wowed’ by the Asian decors. Panda mascot handed out red money envelopes to children and posed for photos. Hello Kitty and Kung Fu panda also greeted children throughout the park. Two 30 feet long dragons were also on display at the park.

The golden dragon danced as the opening act of the celebration. Each dragon requires ten persons to flow and dance through the crowd and onto the staging area. Children followed the dragon as a train when it danced through the crowded park. The heavy toned drum and the cymbals added to beat of excitement for the dragon. Chinese musicians and dancers performances wowed the crowd.

It was a delightful experience to watch the folk dancers dressed in soft pink and white gowns waving their hand fans flowing across the stage to the traditional Chinese music. The kung fu

demonstration was exciting to see with their weapons swinging, fist flying in different martial art styles. The Emcees were professional and humorous. Most audience stayed for the four hour duration.

Largo Central Park’s Mini-Train was also open for parents and children to ride around the park.

It was absolutely wonderful experience to spend a beautiful, sunny day at Largo Central Park in Largo, Florida to celebrate the beginning of Chinese Horse year!

event once again surpassed the attendance from last year of more than 12,000 people attending the 3-day event. And for the first time, Asia Trend Magazine was a proud co-sponsor of the event.

Many are asking why “PhilFest” is so successful. First of all, stepping into the welcome

gates of the festival is like arriving in the Philippines with ladies and men beautifully dressed in their national attires welcoming every guest arriving showing their infamous “Filipino hospitality” making every attendee so welcome.

Then there is delicious variety of Philippine cuisine and desserts not to be missed if you

want to try something exotic. There is also non-stop variety of entertainment on stage with performers both local and from all over the state as far as Tallahassee. Some of the entertainment highlights is the singing competition like a “Philippine Idol” style on Friday night, the hip-hop competition that “must” have a touch of Philippine culture in the choreography called “Revolution” on Saturday evening, and the fun street parade called “Yugyugan” which means “shake it” that takes place on Sunday afternoon just before the closing of

the festival. Also featured in the festival is the unique “Musikong Kawayan-Bamboo Ensemble,” the Philippine Performing Arts Company dancers, and the Philippine Choral Group, the three pride of the Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. (PCFI) who is the organizer of the festival. Not to mention all local singers and dancers performing all day throughout the three days. And at their Philippine cultural center called “Bayanihan” they have “ARTE” an exhibition of Philippine costumes, instruments, and paintings.

No question, PhilFest is now considered as one of the “best” if not “the best” cultural festivals in the State of Florida and the whole of East Coast which is a “must” to see and experience by all.

Gasparilla International Film Festival As with all good things, so too did the Gasparilla International Film Festival (GIFF) have to come to an end. This year’s closing night ended with a wonderfully humorous and heartwarming film, Chu and Blossom, filmed locally at our very own Hillsborough High School in Tampa. The film centered on the life of Joon Chu, a Korean student sent to America by his parents in hopes of him becoming a successful engineer. Chu is

caught between the wishes of his parents to succeed, poignant memories of his older brother who had passed away, and figuring out just what he wants for himself as he navigates through his relationships with some new and very quirky American friends. After the film, the GIFF hosted the closing party at the historical Ritz in Ybor City. It was the last chance to meet some of the up and coming stars of the festival and mingle with the

crowds for a small taste of Hollywood! The Ritz is a spectacular venue that along with the food, drinks, music, and party goers created a film festival and closing night to be remembered!

Mills 50 Public Art Project Mills 50, in conjunction with the City of Orlando, is sponsoring another Public Art Project, in order to create an environment which depicts the community’s diversity, creativity, commerce and neighborhoods. Fifteen (15) City of Orlando dumpsters, located in Mills 50, will be transformed into “Art Boxes”.

The call for artists was sent in March and the deadline for submissions was Friday, April 25. Mills 50 received forty eight (48) submissions from thirty two (32) local artists. A judging panel, composed of residents and business owners in Mills 50, will determine which artists will paint the dumpsters.

Selected artists will be notified the week of May 12. The dumpster painting project will commence in late May and be completed by the end of June.

These photos are a sampling of the submissions received.

Shannon Carrus, Randall Smith and Chris Tobar Rodriguez are local artists who submitted the renderings that accompany this article.

the Asian American Chamber of Commerce “Relieve the stress . . .” was the theme of the April 15, 2014 AACC Business After Hours Event hosted by Orlando Health at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Kari Conley and her team - Beth Smith, Chrissie Majewski and Reginald Riley went all out to make our Members and guests “forget” about it being “tax day” with the sumptuous buffet – we want to commend “Sushi Mike” – he

had the longest line – and he didn’t disappoint. The party atmosphere – those gold table coverings were beautiful. The massage therapists and of course, the wonderful ladies that did the cholesterol panel screening. It was fun to see all the colorful band aids worn by the Members and guests. A big “thank you” to Orlando Health for a successful event.

Then there was the “60 Second” segment – members were chosen to do their “60 Second” introduction. Another great way to know what our Members do outside of the Chamber.

Eighth International Business Summit of Tampa Bay On March 4, 2014, Tampa Bay business people attended the 8th Annual International Business Summit. The event was hosted by the Tampa Bay International Business Council (TBIBC), an organization consists of 14 bi-national Chambers of Commerce and trade associations. The TBIBC members include several Asian American organizations, such as Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Indo-US Chamber of Commerce, Pilipino Chamber of Commerce, and Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce. The TBIBC promotes the economic growth of the Tampa Bay area by bringing together business people with diverse backgrounds, global experiences and extensive networks. This year’s theme is “Exploring Business Opportunities”.

The lunch time keynote speaker was Mr. Sabbas Joseph, Director of Wizcraft International Entertainment. Mr. Joseph spoke about the 2014 IIFA Bollywood Awards which will take place in Raymond James Stadium of Tampa on April 2426. The IIFA Awards is Bollywood’s equivalent of the Oscars of Hollywood. The event is typically attended by major Bollywood stars and Hollywood celebrities. The organizer expects a live audience of 25,000 and this event will be broad-

ASIA TREND

casted to millions of audience globally. Because Indians are the world’s most enthusiastic consumers of movies, this high profile event will put the spotlight on Tampa and bring future business opportunities.

Every year TBIBC Brighthouse Diversity Awards are given to a business and an individual for their distinguished services to the Tampa Bay community and promotions of diversity. The 2014 winners are Jagged Peak for the Business category and Sunny Duann for the Individual category. Ms. Duann was nominated by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for her decades of services to the local Chinese and Taiwanese communities. In her profession as a real estate agent, she has assisted many new immigrants to settle in the Tampa Bay area. She has taken on volunteer work as well as leadership responsibilities in several local Asian organizations and the Clearwater Chinese School.

In the afternoon, Mr. Phillip T.Y. Wang, Director General of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Miami, gave a talk on “Taiwan – an Island of Innovations of Taiwan”. Mr. Wang talked about the technological and manufacturing advances

over the past six decades that form the backbone of Taiwan’s economic miracles. These important innovations have won multiple awards at international technology and business conventions.

Taiwanese scientists and entrepreneurs have designed and manufactured numerous components that are incorporated into many world famous branded products. Apple, Asus, Acer, Dell and Cisco are all connected to Taiwanese semiconductor and electronics industries. More recently, the innovations from the four science and technology parks encompass a wide range of products and industries, such the motors and components for Tesla electric cars, 3D Davinci surgical endoscopes, Advanced 3D printers, and of great interests to the Tampa Bay Port Authority, the automated container moving system. Lastly, a computer animated short film was shown to illustrate how modern technology and education joined hands to peak children’s interests of Chinese cultural heritage.

The event ended with a Mardi Gras themed cocktail party.  By Caroline Wei-Berk

Asian Student Association presents the 14th Annual

ASA Pageant of UCF

Asia Trend has supported the UCF ASA Scholarship Pageant since 2006. The Asian Student Association of UCF was the first to present an Asian American pageant on a Florida college campus. All the contestants in the competition shared their experience of blending the cultural heritage with the modern American life. The positive attitude surrounding the group and the supportive spirit among the contestants were amazing. Congratulate to all the contestants as they were all the winners of showcasing their proud heritages.

The Asian Student Association, founded in 2000, is here to provide a social and academic support network for the Asian American community at UCF. Their mission is to spread awareness of the cultures that make up this fast growing demographic and promote diversity through the organization, the UCF student body, and faculty.  By Asia Trend

They awake the world by Dragon Boating!

Dr. Kenrick Spence, MD, (Lt) and Police Chief John Mina (Rt), two of the many supporters of the Dueling Dragons of Orlando

The Power of the Dragon:

Bridging a Gap Founded in 2011, The Dueling Dragons of Orlando Dragon Boat 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-akind, competitive, year-round racing team. The Kids come from the City of Orlando’s Operation Positive Direction, Parramore Kidz Zone, and the Orlando Parks and Recreation Department. The Cops and Kids both participate as volunteers, learning teamwork and trust through the ancient sport of Dragon Boating. In the process, stereotypes come down, profiles melt away and lives change for the better.

ons since 2011, and are so excited that the program has doubled in size this year. When we see our cops and kids coming together to practice and compete, there are no failures because everyone involved learns and wins.

Our officers become not only teammates, but role models and mentors for these youth. This program sends the right message at the right time in these kids’ lives,” said Mayor Buddy Dyer, City of Orlando.

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 often see the police as the enemy and lack hope for the future.

To date, Dueling Dragons has impacted the lives of 49 cops and 46 teen paddlers. Because the Dueling Dragons team of “Cops and Kids” is so unique and has achieved great success in just a short time, Great White North, a well-respected international Dragon Boat Festival event planner, invited the team to compete in the Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival on September 6-8, 2013, which drew 200 teams from around the world to Canada. At the event, the Dueling Dragons raced to a personal best and earned a gold medal in the Premier mixed round. The youth who traveled to Toronto as part of the team came from the year-round program and earned their spots by staying active in school, attending practice regularly, maintaining good behavior/no arrests, mastering the technical skills required for

By its very nature, the sport of dragon boating requires teamwork, trust, leadership, perseverance and dedication in order to succeed. 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 experience and filter into daily life.

“We have been supportive of Dueling Drag-

the sport, maintaining a healthy state of physical fitness, and developing respectful, positive relationships with all team members, coaches and mentors. For many, this was their first trip ever on a plane or even away from Orlando. Their goal is to build a second team in 2014 and compete at the Chicago International Dragon Boat Festival on July 26, 2014.

Dueling Dragons is a volunteer-based, privately funded initiative and relies on the generosity of businesses, organizations and individuals throughout the community.
