San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center's fifth
anniversary of the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami brought a message
of hope to orphans in northeastern Japan. All proceeds raised at this
event will be sent to Ohana Ouenzyar* in Fukushima where orphaned
special needs children cannot go outside to play. The radiation remains
a source of danger for residents, animals and crops.
Ritsuko Shinbashi brought white and pink blossoms from her garden
to bring spring joy into Sakaguchi Hall with accents of purple iris and
yellow mums. SFV Taiko started the program with an empowering
performance, followed by an inspirational interfaith service presided by
Rev. Spring Iwata (Sunrise Foursquare Church) and Rev. Roland
Hazama (Crossway Church) followed by a candlelighting ceremony
conducted by Rev. Ruy Mizuki (Chatsworth West Methodist Church).
LA City Fire Chief Glen Miyagishima introduced LA County
(L-R): Mrs. Mitsuko Chiba with Koichi Saichi,
Fire Assistant Chief Michael Takeshita, who provided helpful tips on

Special messages were delivered by Consul General Hayashi, Mr. Ayala,
representative of Assemblymember Patty Lopez, and the "Disaster Guy", Ken
Kondo.
Young ballerinas from Valley Japanese Community Center's YK Ballet
taught by Yukie Kanagawa, SFV JACL's Suzume no Gakkou directed by
Nancy Gohata, Helena Jeen of SFV JLI accompanied by her mother, Atsuyo
Jeen and SFV JLI’s J1 Class directed by Sensei Ayumi Inoue were all
energetically introduced by Miss San Fernando, Kelsey Nakaji Kwong. The
Meiji Club Ondo group encouraged the audience to participate in “Gokkigen
ondo”. Sensei Masako Rodriquez was joined by the Chiba family who lost five
members on March 11, 2011.
The most poignant part of the program came from the master of
ceremonies, Kimiaki Chiba's cousin, Koichi Saichi who said, “Many young

become fire-fighters, nurses, or enlist in the defense

area has recovered back to the level of operation
before the disaster. Houses have been rebuilt on
higher grounds and new towns are being built. If
you ever have the chance, please visit the “rebuilt”
Tohoku.”
In conjunction with the program, the Southern
California Preparedness Foundation sponsored
many informative exhibits coordinated by Bill
Hopkins and Mikkie Loi.

SFVJACC MISSION STATEMENT
To promote the Japanese culture
and preserve the Japanese American
experience through education, events
and activities for our community .
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Now that spring has officially arrived, I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and in high spirit
despite the rain. I forgot to mention in the last newsletter regarding our 2015 Volunteer Appreciation Award.
I appreciate and would like to thank John Doomey and Gene Lew for all their time doing maintenance
around the center - repairing doors, painting and building benches that are in our courtyard. Thank you very
much to both of you.
One sad thing that I would like to report is that the SFV Fishing Club and SFV Landscape Gardeners
Association have disbanded due to changing times and lack of membership. To both organizations we thank
you for your long time contributions made to the center. As far as I could remember, the Gardeners have
always kept the Center’s grounds clean and manicured and supported our annual Cleanup Day. The Fishing Club has
sponsored many Youth Fishing Derbies for the Community Center youngsters at various lakes in Southern California. The kids
always enjoyed and looked forward to the trophies and many prizes. We are going to miss both organizations and want to thank
the members for all the years of support to the Center.
The recent Japan Earthquake Tsunami Fair was a big success! We would like to thank our members, friends and
supporters for their donations to the JET Relief Fund. Your generosity is very much appreciated in reaching our goal. A special
thank you to Nancy Oda and Kimi Chiba, the co-chairs for the event who did a fantastic and super job!! Also thank you EGAO,
Akabeko Project, Chocolates for East Japan, Athletics, SFV JACL, SFV Girls Scouts Troop 1466, LA County Disaster Team,
Pastor Roland Hazama (Crossway Church), Pastor Spring Iwata (Sunrise Foursquare Church) and Pastor Ruy Mizuki
(Chatsworth West United Methodist Church) for taking part in the event.
For the entertainment, we had little ballerinas from the Valley Japanese Community Center YK Ballet dancing into our heart.
They were so cute, catching everyone’s eyes!! Next time you have to watch them dance! Also performing were the kids from
JACL’s Suzume no Gakkou Summer Camp and the students from J1 class and Helena Jeen from Japanese School. For the
finale we had our Meiji Ondo Group perform with their fans energizing the audience. Over all it was a fantastic day enjoyed by
everyone!
Last month the Nikkei Senior Gardens and
Community Center Finance Committee met
for their bi-annual meeting at the new Chiba
Restaurant where the Center hosted an
appreciation dinner for Irene Sumida. Irene
will be stepping down from NSG and Oyakoko
Foundation boards. We cannot thank her
enough for how much she has done for NSG
and for the community. We’re going to miss
Irene and we send her best wishes for her
new adventure. Also, we extend our gratitude
and appreciation of the NSG Board for their
financial support to the Community Center.
The Future Planning Committee is meeting
at the end of this month to go over the
preliminary muti-purpose building location site

and CC Board members
The Committee will be making a feasibility
study on several option sites. This will be a long
range project. On the short range side, we will be focusing on refurbishing the ladies restroom with handicap accessibility next
to the kitchen.
The Community Center cordially invites all our families, relatives, neighbors and friends to join us at our Family Day Picnic on
May 14 at Orcas Park in Lake View Terrace. Please mark your calendar!

SF Athletics Pancake Breakfast
By: Alana Yamauchi
This year’s Pancake Breakfast was held on Saturday, March 19, 2016,
and was a big hit thanks to everyone’s hard work and dedication. The
SFVJACC Athletic families were really on the ball making those pancakes!
Their flips went from good to great! The sausages were really great too! Our
serving people were amazing! We had a bunch of orders to fill and they were
filling them with ease! The service in the Pioneer room was spectacular and
everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves! It was almost like everyone
knew what they had to do and could do it in their sleep!
We also had a really great raffle with awesome prizes like a basketball
from the NBA Lakers, Universal
Studio tickets, and Knott’s Berry
Farm tickets! Other prizes ranged
from vegetables to tea sets to gift cards! Muranaka and Hiji Farms were so generous
that in addition to raffling off some of their vegetables, we also sold a majority of
them at our surprise “farmer’s market”.
I would like to give a special thanks to the Lakers, Blast, and Jaguars for overseeing
the event and helping to make the breakfast run smoothly. I would also like to thank
iHeart Radio, Gelson’s Super Market, Gaviña Coffee, Muranaka Farms, Hiji Farms,
Honda of Hollywood, Vons, Pure Wellness Center, Challenge Butter, McDonalds,
Ralphs, and Food4Less for sponsoring the Pancake Breakfast!
Thanks to everyone’s help, we
served over 1,350 meals!
I would also like to add that not only was the Pancake Breakfast very yummy for me, it was fun as well. I know people had to be there very early, but
everyone came to help and work on time and happily. Everyone was very
helpful and there seemed to be very few problems. I also want to thank the
people that came out and supported us! I really hope everyone had a great
time and was very full afterwards!
Special Thank you to the following donors

Shaun Tanaka’s Eagle
Scout Project at VJCC
Shaun Tanaka is a Yonsei member of
Boy Scout Troop 719 and who
completed his service project at the Valley Japanese Community Center (VJCC)
on October 27th on his path to earning
the rank of Eagle Scout.
Shaun’s grandparents, Kazuo and Flora Teramura,
were instrumental in building the VJCC auditorium and
classrooms back in the 1950’s. Now after over 60 years,
Shaun chose to conduct his service project to continue his
grandfather’s legacy by building sliding doors to protect a
200 inch mirror mounted on the auditorium wall his
grandfather built and beautify the garden. The project
helps to bring new life to the VJCC and exemplifies the
importance of keeping youths engaged in the JapaneseAmerican community.
The success of this project would not have been
possible without the guidance of Arnold Kaji, father of
Troop 719 Eagle Scout Michael Kaji, who served as the
eagle advisor. The project involved 5 groups led by Jerry
Takao (assembly), Jerry Tondo (track and installation),
Kurt Kuniyoshi (wood cutting),
Dean Yonemori (sanding and
staining), Chip Hino (garden
beautification), and scouts
Grant Kuwata, C.J. Takahashi,
and Bryan Ishigo with support
from over 50 Troop 719 scouts,
parents, and alumni.
The VJCC is very thankful
to Troop 719 scouts, alumni,
parents and Shaun for the
beautiful work and commitment
to supporting the JapaneseAmerican community.

Courage
By Old Wakaba, Bud Sagara
Ask anyone at the CC who they think is courageous. Some good answers might be: our soldiers in
Afghanistan, police officers, fire fighters or classroom teachers facing a group of unruly teenagers. There are
many well documented examples of extraordinary courage like the daily gaman the Japanese American
internees living in American concentration camps during WW II, the campaigns of the 442 nd Regimental
Combat Team or the first responders running up the stairwells in the Twin Towers on 9/11, but there are also
other types of courage.
A more subdued kind of courage is portrayed by the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz.
This beloved fictional character is actually closer to real life than most of us realize. He
was afraid, but he joined Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodsman on their journey
down the yellow brick road. Near the end of the film, the trio finally reaches the dark, foreboding castle of the Wicked Witch where Dorothy is being held captive. The scene unfolds
with the Lion saying, “All right, I’ll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked
Witch, guards or no guards. I’ll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I’m going in
there. There’s only one thing I want you fellas to do.” The Scarecrow and Tin Woodsman
respond, “What’s that?” The Lion replies, “Talk me out of it!” The Lion’s preconceived
notion of courage kept him from realizing that he was in fact very brave. He was scared,
bumbling and more courageous than he knew.
Being courageous does not mean that the person is unafraid. It’s okay to be afraid as long as you know that whatever you
are doing is more important than fear. Author Harper Lee wrote in To Kill a Mockingbird, “I wanted you to see what real courage
is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin
but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” Very few of us would say that we are courageous, but there is
silent bravery in just carrying on with ordinary life. The boss at work is demanding, the kids are acting up, the kitchen sink won’t
drain, and we are just plain tired. It takes courage just to get out of bed some mornings to face our own weaknesses and the
regrets for the things that we did and for the things that we did not do.
There is unusual courage and strength that is quietly played out in families each day when a loved one is at the end of their
life. It could be at home, in a hospital or at a care facility like Nikkei Senior Gardens. We come to give whatever comfort we can
offer and struggle with that fact that there is nothing that anyone can do other than to be there, pray and wait. Our minds drift to
thoughts of mortality and of relatives and friends who have already passed on. We think of how things used to be and all the
good times we shared. A smile may even lighten the day in remembrance of a funny situation or family story, but there is really
no true relief in sight. It makes us ponder what really matters in life instead of all the meaningless material excesses that
occupy us in this world. We tell ourselves that things are going to be fine and our loved one will be in a better place that is free
of pain and worry, but that rationalization only puts a band aid on the hurt. The days become weeks, the weeks become months,
and the months become years. When the time actually comes, it hits us in the stomach like a sucker punch that drops us to our
knees even though we had been waiting for this moment. How is it possible that our beloved is really gone? A part of us has
been suddenly cut away leaving an open, gaping wound in our lives. To pick up the pieces of ordinary living again after this
experience requires courage.
Perry Kimura passed away on January 28, 2016 at the age of 66, after a life of exceptional artistic
achievements. His cinematographic talents were sought after by stars in the movie and fashion industry
and he was also a skilled musician and song writer. Yet he gave up the glitter of Hollywood to take care of
his aging parents in his old Pacoima neighborhood until they passed on. He was a quiet and humble man
who cared little for worldly success or praise because his focus was on loving the Lord and seeking to
please Him alone. During Perry’s last pain filled months, he was hospitalized for kidney failure and other
chronic medical problems. Even when his doctors gave him the grim prognosis, he still considered himself
blessed and continued to joke with his church family as they rallied around him with visits and vigils with
such frequency that it amazed the nursing staff. Perry demonstrated great faith and courage to the end.
When I was young, death was the scariest thing I could imagine. Now that I am well down the road toward old age, death
has dropped off of my list of scary things. The distance between me and the rider on the pale horse is not so long anymore. It is
a change of heart and a new life in Christ that makes the closing
distance something to be accepted and not feared. Like the
characters in the Wizard of Oz, we learn as we travel down our own

PROFITING FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS?
Have you noticed how many persons have profited from youtube
videos? Not a whole lot of people, but ordinary people with imagination and foresight. Though
the buzzword “the new economy” has been around for a while, there are opportunities for
people with foresight and imagination.
For example, a cousin mentioned to me that there is a family in Torrance that has created a series of videos where
they review toys. Because of their popularity, they have advertisers embedded in the videos, so that the family gets paid
a few cents for each viewer.
Consequently, the millions of views they have received have paid off their primary and vacation homes, and funded
college tuitions for their young children, I was told. Ryan Toys Review is an example of one such family toy review video.
What about exploring your culture? A group of young adult Chinese in New York City started a series called Off The
Great Wall. With over a hundred (or two) of videos, they continue to explore many aspects of the Chinese culture with
videos topics such as Chinese Food, Immigrant Parents vs. American Parents, Asian Beauty Secrets, etc.
Have you seen Cooking with Dog on youtube? A husband and wife team in Japan must have over a hundred videos
show step by step procedure to make various Japanese dishes. Watching attentively is their large poodle perched on a
stool next to the stove.
Also benefitting from advertising commissions is Rickman Wong, UCLA graduate who just fell in love with the dish and
has written a ramen blog from all over the world under the name Rameniac.

Come One, Come All
By Jean Taguchi
It is one of the largest and longest running festivals of its kind in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita, Conejo and Antelope Valleys. It was started by the Nisei, is being carried on by the Sansei and enjoyed by the Yonsei and Gosei. Every year it
draws thousands of visitors from all across Southern California to its booths to enjoy savory and ethnic
delights such as Chicken Teriyaki, Chinese Chicken Salad,
Chirashi, Spam Musubi, Char Siu Bao, Shiu Mai, Beef Teriyaki, Udon, and Somen.
It features games such as Bingo, Fishing Derby, Dough Ball, and Gold Fish Toss.
There are displays of bonsai and ikebana as well as a Flea Market, Bookstore, and a
Raffle.
It begins with taiko drummers drawing people to the festivities with their loud, enthusiastic and boisterous
performance. This is followed by hundreds of kimono, yukata and happi coat clad dancers moving to the rhythms and
melodies of both traditional and modern Japanese music.
For many people of Japanese ancestry who can trace their roots back to the San Fernando Valley and its Japanese
American Community Center, the summer would not be the summer without the San Fernando Valley Hongwanji
Buddhist Temple’s Obon Festival, or simply The Obon. It is tradition. It is friends and families gathering to enjoy each
other’s company. It is neighbors getting to know each other. It is strangers getting acquainted and becoming friends.
It is numerous community organizations and their leaders coming together and working cooperatively to insure a
meaningful experience for all. It is community.
This year’s Obon is planned for Saturday, June 25th and Sunday, June 26th. So mark your calendars, dust off your
kachi-kachi and your uchiwa; rustle up your yukata and get ready to eat, dance, and play the night away and while
you’re at it, invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers too. Everyone will appreciate the opportunity to share in the
cultural experience and perpetuate the long-standing tradition that is Obon. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
Come one, come all

Manznar Reunion To Be Held In Las Vegas
August 8-10, 2016
The 2016 Manzanar Reunion Committee invites everyone to attend this year's event at the California
Hotel in Las Vegas on August 8-10, 2016.
Whether you or your family members were in Manzanar or at another camp, or if you're just
interested in learning more about the internment experience, we urge you to join us.
The Manzanar Reunion is a unique opportunity to get together with old friends and make new ones, to learn more about
Manzanar directly from the National Park Service Rangers, and to have a good time in Las Vegas!
For your convenience, we have buses leaving from four locations in Southern California, including the SFVJACC. The
event includes two nights of food, fun, and informative displays and programs, as well as a reunion-sponsored slot
tournament.
Last year, all attendees received goodie bags and enjoyed playing bingo and interactive ice
breaker games led by Marion Nishimura, daughter of Jimmie Yamane. Manzanar-born Masako
Hollowell, as well as Lipo Rosero and Teddy Yamane were among the bingo and door prize
winners. Once again, Dr. Bo Sakaguchi entertained us with his banter while calling the table
numbers for the buffet line. Harumi Sylvia Yamashita reconnected with an old friend she hadn't
seen in decades! Three members of Harry Nakada's family won prizes in the slot tournament, as
did Toyoko Ogimachi and Dorothy Rosero.
The Manzanar Rangers presented 'A Virtual Tour of Manzanar' slideshow to share what's happening at Manzanar today. All reunion attendees were also sworn in as official "Manzanar Junior
Rangers" and received official Junior Ranger badges. Included among the new Junior Rangers
were members of the George Oda family, James and Rose Higashida, Byl Yamanouye and daughter Jann, Ben Ogami,
and Seiji, Emi and Kay Kami.
Last year's attendees came from as far away as Texas, Washington, Michigan, Oregon and Utah. We welcome YOU to
join us in Las Vegas for this year's Manzanar Reunion!
If you would like more information, please contact Cherry Uyeda at (818) 981-2629, Grace Deguchi at (310) 968-1666,
