FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1984

It takes Shibanuma 11/2
hours to carve a 135-kilogram
block of ice. And it takes
about three hours at room
temperature before the defi­
nition of the sculpture starts
to fade.

Before carving, the ice has
to be a certain temperature. If
it is too cold it will crack
when the tools are applied.
Once it reaches the right
temperature the carver has to
work quickly before it melts.
Finer lines take on greater
detail as the ice melts, so the
sculpture is not carved too
finely.

WAKAYAMA. — To com­
memorate the 100th anni­
versary of a local emigrant
group's departure for Hawaii,
the Wakayama City Public
Library will open the nation's
first emigration resource
room next December.
Assembled at a cost of
some 23 million yen, the qual­
ity of the collection will rival

tional Diet Library, as well as

Iwasaki Athletic Scholarship

VANCOUVER. — Lori Fung, gold medallist in Rhythmic
Gymnastics at the 1984 Olympics, was honored at a reception
at the Pink Pearl Restaurant when she received the Ina Fujie
Iwasaki Athletic scholarship.
The scholarship fund, administered by J.C.G.A , was set
up by a generous donation from Mr. Akira Iwasaki to generate
an annual award in memory of his late wife. The purpose of
the fund is to assist young athletes training at the national
and international competitions in amateur sports.
Lori Fung was the first recipient of this award as Mr.
Iwasaki and his daughter Margaret, herself a former Olympic
swimmer, presented the award of $1,000.00.
After the Los Angeles Olympics, Lori went to the 4-Continent meet in Indianapolis, U.S.A, and captured the all-round
title as well as 3 of the 4 individual events. She took the silver
medal in the 4th. The Continents represented were North
America, South America, Asia and Australia.-Lori had invita­
tions, all expenses paid, to compete in China and Australia.
Timing of these meets were such that Lori had to decline the
invitation as she had training scheduled in preparation for
major meets in Europe.

TORONTO. — Despite
Canada's claims to be tech­
nologically advanced, we're
a Third World country, said
Dr. David Suzuki in Toronto
recently.
“We sell our resources and
buy back high-tech,” he said.
Suzuki, a geneticist who is
better known as the host of
CBC' s The Nature of Things,
told a Canadian Computer
Show luncheon that Cana­
da's problem “is spiritual.
We don't believe we can be
first-rate.

Most of the designs Shiba­
numa works from are tradi­
tionally Japanese. Animals
such as dragons, swans, pea­
cocks, flamingos and horses
are the most common. He
also makes his own designs
for special orders, including
company logos and initials.

OTTAWA — Tony Murakami (left) and the
rest of Canadian culinary team meet the Prime
Minister and shows him the plaque they receved as winners of the 1984 World Culinary

ginnings in North and South
America over the years.
The estimated 4,300 docu­
ments collected include ac­
tual entry records, Japanese
government emigration docu­
ments, foreign governmental
immigration policy records
on Japanese, files kept by
local groups, as well as news­
papers and magazines on the
topic of emigration.
Moreover, some 50 tapes
of interviews with first-gener­
ation Japanese North Ameri­
cans, recounting their various
experiences, will also be avail­
able for public use in the
130-sq. meter resource roon^*
According to one scholar
of American history, this will
be the first resource facility
focusing on wide-scale Japa­
nese emigration from Canada
down to Latin America.

Canada lags in race for
technology, says Suzuki

The size of an ice scupture
is limited by the size of the
freezer available. Often sever­
al blocks are carved indivi­
dually, then stuck together.

At $40 a block for ice, Shi­
banuma can' t afford to make
many mistakes. If a small
piece does break off, how­
ever, it can always be stuck
backon.
But how? “That's a
secret,” he says.

VANCOUVER. — When
Vancouver Four' Seasons
hotel chef Saburo Shibanuma
dresses for work, he puts on
boots and rubber gloves and
picks up his chainsaw.
Shibanuma is an ice sculp­
tor. He spent 11/2 years in his
native Japan developing the
skill and has spent the last 14
years practising it.
It's no easy feat to turn
a 135-ki logram (298-pound)
block of ice into an eagle or a
mermaid.
Ice sculpting is an expen­
sive art. Shibanuma's tools,
are worth more than $1,000.
After marking out the design
on the ice, he uses a special
waterproof chain saw for car­
ving the basic shape. Finer
work is done with steel-bladed
chisels imported from Japan.
“Almost the same tech­
nology is used for making
these chisels as for samurai
swords,” says Shibanuma.

are.also requiredfor manu­
ally moving and positioning

Known for his irreverent
views on what might be call­
ed scientific nationalism,
Suzuki said he had only just
learned that he was to speak
at the lunch and would say
only a few words.

• Canadian politicians vie
with lawyers for the depth of
their ignorance about sci­
ence. “Our politicians have a
blind spot,” he said. “They
get advice from experts but
can't assess it.”
• It takes decades to create a
technology-based industry,
and it's done through educa­
tion. But politicians, with a
three or four-year time frame
based on their terms in of­
fice, spend their science
dollars on things rather than
“putting it into the people
who are good.”
• Despite the fact that the
Japanese have the world's
highest literacy rate and put a
tremendous emphasi? on sci­
ence, “I will be astounded if
Japan beats the U.S.” in the
race to produce the so-called
fifth generation computer,
with artificial intelligence.
In contrast to “the incred­
ible diversity” of North Amer­
ica he said, “the Japanese
have one culture, one langu­
age, one history, one race.
Their main preoccupation is
fitting in. Though they can
develop an idea beyond anything we can imagine, they
don't make imaginative
leaps.

EDMONTON, Alta. — The
introductions completed, the
interview begins.
First question: “Say, are
you any relation to ...”
“No, none at all,” laughed
Stacey Wakabayashi, replying
before the query is complet­
ed. “I've been asked that a
lot, all the way through minor
hockey. Last year at the Me­
morial Cup it came up all the
time.”

Wakabayashi? No, it's not

Wakabayashi.
A dream come true
They were a pair of Ontarioborn brothers who went to
Japan in the late '60s, played
and coached that country's
national team, and essentially
taught them the game.
And even though Stacey
Wakabayashi, a rookie winger
with the University of Alberta
Golden Bears, shares nothing
but a common name, it was
still a dream of his to meet up
with them.
“I finally got to when Mel
was here last month,” said
Stacey, who played in an exhi­
bition game against the Mel
Wakabayashi-coached Kukudo Bunnies. “It was a big thrill
for me.”
Perhaps he might have
been better off stowing away
on the Bunnies' flight back to
the Orient. Despite playing
regularly (32 goals, 38 assists)
on a team that went all the
way to the Memorial Cup —
Bill LaForge's Kamloops Oil­
ers — the 5-foot-8, 180 pound
19-year-old is having a heck of
a time cracking the lineup of
the talent-laden Golden Bears.
Wakabayashi has played in
just two of the Bears' first
four regular season contests,
picking up one assist.

Montreal welcomes Buddhist Church head
MONTREAL — On Thursday, November 8,1984, at 9:00 p.m.
traffic slowed on Dorchester Blvd, in front of the CBC building
to look at a colorful dedication ceremony complete with Bud­
dhist priests in traditional robes. Mr. Yvon Lamarre, chairman
of the Executive Committee, City of Montreal, aided by the
city's sound truck welcomed His Eminence, Koshin Ohtani of
Honganji Temple, Kyoto, and spoke of the friendship between
Montreal and Japan, especially Osaka. He spoke well of the
Japanese community in Montreal and the initiative of a small
but vigorous Buddhist church in planting one hundred trees
along Dorchester Boulevard.

His Eminence dedicated a bronze plaque embedded in a
block of granite commemorating the planting of the one hund­
red trees and participated in a symbolic tree planting together
with Mr. Lamarre, the president of the Buddhist church, John
Shikatani and representatives of the Japanese Business­
men's Association, Messrs. Nohara and Minami.

Foliowin the ceremony and a press conference at the

Based on her own experi­
ence, she thinks that many
Asian Viewers “are not vocal
and they don't write unless
they're really incensed about
something.” In addition to
protesting negative portray­
als, she recommends that
Asians “take five minutes to
jot down a postcard and give
the producers and writers
strokes” if they see television
portrayals that they like.
“I realized that after two
years of being on the show, I
had only gotten one fan letter
from an Asian,” Miyori noted,
adding that supportive letters
from Asians began to pour in
only after her character was
killed.

To help increase this kind
of positive feedback, she is
taking part in an awards pro­
gram being put on next year
by the Assn, of Asian/Pacific
American Artists in honor of
producers, directors and wri­
ters that have promoted posi­
tive, true-to-life images of
Asians.

"COMPLETE SERVICE”

A large part of the problem

Sait. 9 to. 3 p.m.

Kim Miyori
is ignorance ratner than dis­
crimination, she said. “We
need to educate these people
— tell them what the story
is.”
A native of Santa Maria,
Calif., she attended University
of Utah as a dance major and
then entered the theater­
dance program at CarnegieMellon University. She per­
formed in musicals in Pitt­
sburgh and later New York,
where she had one of her
most memorable roles in
“Pacific Overtures.” She
found the experience enlight­
ening because “I had never
had an opportunity to work
with a group of Asian actors
and actresses.”
Miyori went on to appear in
“Zoot Suit” on Broadway and
in Los Angeles. She thought
it amusing that she was in a
play about Chicano life in
L.A. during WW2 because
“peroidwise, I should have
been in camp.”
Miyori's father was intern­
ed in Gila River, Ariz. during
the war and “talks very little
about it.” Appearing in a TV
show or film about the camps
would be educational “for the
public and to me as well,”
she. said.
In the meantime, she would
like to increase her involve­
ment with the local Japanese
American community. She
participated in this year's
Nisei Week festivities and
was recently given the Na­
tional
Network
of
Asian/Pacific Women's Silk
Wings Award for her role in
“St. Elsewhere.” She will also
host a benefit showing of the
film “Unfinished Business”
on Oct. 6 in Gardena. Such
activities “help me know who
I am and what my parents and
friends of my parents went
through.”
She also hopes that future
Asian American performers
will have Asian role models.
When asked who her role
models are, she can name ac­
tresses such as Katharine
Hepburn, but no Asian names
come to mind. Through such
characters as the late Dr.
Armstrong, she thinks that
situation can be changed.
