Gold medalist Takahashi fights for the love of Canada

By MICHAEL FARBER
CARACAS — Faster than an American gunboat, Ray Takahashi ripped
through Latin America on his way to a Pan-American Games gold medal
in freestyle wrestling. Before defeating Charles Heard of the United States
for the Fo.ninrirarTi class gold, Takahashi had pinned a Honduran and an
Argentinian in a combined time of a minute and 20 seconds anJ reversed

Takahashi has wrestled since 1975.

Power went out
The most memorable venue was at the Com­
monwealth Games in Brisbane last October,
where the wrestling competition was held in the
marble-flored and statue-graced municipal build­
ing, proving once again you can fight in city hall.
“That building in Cuba had no windows at all,
and while we were wrestling, the power went out,”
said Takahashi. “That made the lights on the ceil­

EDMONTON, Alta. — The
Edmonton Japanese Canadian
Community's second redress
meeting will take place on
Thursday, September 22, 1983
from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Mc­
Dougall United Church, base­
ment room, 10025-101 St.
At our first redress meeting
(July 13, sandwiched between
World Student Games and
Klondyke days, with 31 pre­
sent) the primary focus was
information: What happened
during WW II? Was injustice
done to JC's? If so, what
would constitute appropiate
remedies-the kind that
would obtain the above ob­
jectives? We wanted to in­
form ourselves so that we
could proceed intelligently,
relevantly. z
What emerged, by the end
of the meeting, was a sense
of direction: We need to for­
mulate both non-monetary as
well as monetary options in
our redress proposals. Thus,
two working commitees were
assigned the task of preparing
(a) a nor.-monetary set of pro­
proposals (Laura & Allan Hoyano), ano (□; a monetary set of
proposals (Aki Nawata and
Henry Shimizu) for discus­
sion, amendment, and vote.
Since it was not feasible to
set up the next meeting for
August, a September meeting
was agreed upon. According-

ly, this information was sent
to the National Redress Con­
ference (NRC) Planning Com­
mittee, together with a re­
quest that the pre-set Labor
Day NRC be postponed. As
other communities had also
requested more time, the
Labor Day weekend confer­
ence was reluctantly called
off, and the new date will be
Nov. 11 — 13, Prince Hotel,

Marlon Brando signs
with Nisei agent
LOS ANGELES — Veteran
actor, Marlon Brando, 59, star
of “Sayonara” and “Tea­
house of the August Moon,”
will be under contract to a
Nisei agent for motion pic­
ture and TV roles.
Fred Ishimoto of ShipleyIshimoto Agency signed the
noted actor, winner of two
Oscars, recently to mark the
first time ever that a Nisei
talent management agency
x
represents a Hollywood sup­
erstar.
Ishimoto, also 59, has been
active as an agent for the past
25 years representing Asian
talents, MiikoTaka, Nobu Mc­
Carthy, Irene Tsu, George
Takei, Johnny Yuen, Helen
Funai, and other Orientals for
film and TV roles and adver­
tising commercials.

Whenever I think about my

TORONTO - Starting September 19th, the Japanese Cana­
dian Cultural Centre will be holding Aerobic Keep Fit classes.
Direct from Vancouver with the latest in dancersize routines,
comes aerobic instructor, Paul Tazumi.
Although the major promotional thrust is directed at the
corporations near the.Centre — Bell, Texaco, IBM, Bata — we
are hoping to attract many past, present and future Centre
devotees. Classes will be held at 4, 5, and 6 o'clock on Mon­
day and Wednesday. The cost will be $2.50 per class.
Monday's 5 o'clock and Wednesday's 6 o'clock class will
be a special “Sedentary Clinic” for the hard to get active.
Paul says we don't stop exercising because we get old;

There was no easy choice
