PRESIDENT’S MONTHLY MONKU by Ann Kabasawa

Congratulations to everyone in the 100th family

for surviving another month of this pandemic

situation. I hope that you are all doing well as we

continue to live our lives in this new form of normal.

We have decided to officially re-open the

Clubhouse and the Office on Wednesday, July 1.

Office hours will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays and

Thursdays from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. If you are

planning to go to the Clubhouse, we are asking your

cooperation in wearing a face mask and observing

social distancing once you are there. We want to

keep everybody safe. Please note that if there are any

changes in recommendations from the State or City

and County, we may also need to change the

Clubhouse and Office hours so please call Office

Assistant ALEX TAKASHY before heading down to

make sure we are open as scheduled.

During the months that we were shut down, it was

often just my husband, CLYDE SUGIMOTO, and

me in the building so we were looking forward to

having the Craft Club back on Tuesdays and the Line

Dance classes on Wednesdays. However, both

groups have decided to wait a while more before

returning so it looks like it will still be just the two of

us us (and Alex) in July.

Thank you to the 100th/442d soldiers of Rifle

Chapter for taking such good care of the Clubhouse

while we were closed and now, also for taking care of

the yardwork not only at the Club but at the apartment

building. What would we do without you? Please

show them your appreciation by supporting their

fundraiser when it is rescheduled.

Turning to our apartment building, renovations

are still ongoing and it looks like it will be a while

before things are completed. For more updates on

what is going on with the apartments, please read

Property Manager JOHN COVINGTON’s article on

page 6 of the PPP.

This year is an Election Year for our Club and I

hope that some of you will consider running for one

of the Executive Board of Directors offices including

President,1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President,

Secretary and Treasurer. There are many important

issues that the Board of Directors will need to

consider regarding the future of the Club and the next

few years will be critical for our organization. If you

can make a commitment for two years of service on

the 2021-2022 EBOD, please submit your nomination

SUMMERS GREETINGS by Brian Shiroyama

Friends and Family of Nisei Veterans June 2020 Newsletter

Hello, everyone! We sincerely hope to find you

well. It has been a very challenging year for all of us.

Today we regret that we must inform you of the

cancellation of our major event of the year - the

reunion. Even though Las Vegas is now open, health

and safety requirements we must meet are beyond

what we can tolerate and overcome. Just limiting the

number of attendees in the hospitality room to satisfy

“social distancing” rules alone will not work for us.

In addition, limiting to four to a table (instead of 10)

at our banquets is unthinkable. And that does not

even take into consideration the absence of buffets,

four to an elevator, longer wait times in all the

restaurants and fewer numbers allowed at the

gambling tables.

We sincerely hope that we can return to our

wonderful reunion in 2021.

In the meantime, please take great care of

yourself. It will be so nice to see all of you in Las

Vegas - or anywhere soon.

petition and 15 signatures by the September 8th

deadline.

Due to concerns over Covid, the Annual Friends

and Family of Nisei Veterans’ Mini Reunion in Las

Vegas that was previously scheduled for October 18

to 22 has been cancelled. We’ll miss all of the fun

hanging out in the 100th Hospitality Room at the Cal

with our Mainland Chapter ’ohana and meeting the

FFNV folks at the banquets (like in the photo above)

but there’s always next year!

Please continue to take care everyone and we hope

to see you and your face mask at the Clubhouse soon!

DA MAINLAND CHAPTER NEWS by David Watanabe

On a very sad note we lost member ELLIE

OZAWA a few days ago, it’s a shock to many of us.

More will be written about her in next month's PPP.

On a happier note ELSIE HAYASHI (her

husband was the late HENRY HAYASHI of Baker

Company) will be celebrating her 100th birthday on

July 12! To celebrate this rare milestone, we’ve begun

a grassroots campaign for Elsie to run for the

Presidency of the United States. Pictured below is

Elsie and her campaign manager, daughter SHARON

SHIMAZAKI, at our 100th Clubhouse, aka the

Shimazaki home!"

I wanted to share some wisdom written by

ROBERT HORSTING: “One of the drawbacks of

shopping in the COVID era is the time that you spend

waiting in line, which seems to be getting shorter now

that people in general have settled into the “new

normal” of supply-and-demand for the essential items

and stores have adjusted by limiting how much of

those items you can buy in an effort to provide us all

the opportunity to get them. If you like to people-

watch waiting in a line definitely gives you plenty of

opportunity to do that. One of the best uses of time

I’ve seen was a women reading a book. Most people

are looking at movies or other content on the internet,

but they get so into it that they don’t notice the line has

moved and stand there as people behind them fidget,

anxious to move at least 6-feet forward to mark some

progress. I’ve started exercising by stretching, doing

knee bends, shoulder rolls, etc. and knock out 15 - 30-

minutes before I get to shop. Hey, this might be a way

for me to start a mobile gym.”

I’m impressed with all the work Robert has done

for the Japanese American community in keeping the

Go For Broke veterans’ legacy alive, his (and wife,

YOKO HORSTING’s too) participation in many of

the events, and his production of the “Afternoon of

Peace” in February this year about the bombings of

Hiroshima/Nagasaki received a standing ovation at

the Aratani Theater. He is president of Shadows for

Peace.

(PPP Editor’s Note: I received this from

President ANN KABASAWA: “ Just got a call from

STEVE SATO in Los Angeles He said that Ellie

Ozawa who was very active with the California

chapter and always helping at the 100th Hospitality

Room at the Las Vegas Mini Reunion with her

delicious chili, passed away yesterday, June 17th. So

very, very sad. She was so very active and a

wonderful cook too!! We will miss her.)

Thanks to JAYNE HIRATA for organizing and

being the Master of Ceremonies of the Educational

half of the Nisei Veterans Virtual Memorial

Day Ceremony on May 25, 2020. Among the guest

speakers were DR. MITCHELL MAKI, DAVID

France, Japan, California and Hawaii.

Big thanks and congratulations also to Dr. Maki

and the Go for Broke National Education Center staff

for the excellent virtual Go For Broke Monument

Ceremony on June 6, 2020. Speakers included Dr.

HEADQUARTERS CHAPTER NEWS by Janice Sakoda

How is the COVID-19

affecting you? For us, it’s having

had to cancel our trips for the year.

We had planned to attend the

opening of the National Museum

of the US Army in April but that

got postponed to later this year or

early next year. We were also

scheduled to have a family reunion

in Washington state but will be

cancelling that. There was so

thought of going to Japan in the

fall, but again, that got cancelled.

But the upside is that I’ve

spent more time gardening and am

now harvesting cucumbers and (1)

lone zucchini. Still haven’t

written my New Year’s newsletter

(maybe it will be a Happy Solstice

Newsletter!), nor started a quilt,

nor tackled organizing my photos,

which were are all on my to-do

list, but I’m optimistic it’ll get

done one of these days!

I’m sorry to hear that

AKIYOSHI KURIYAMA passed

away January 20, 2020 at 103

years. He is survived by his son,

KENT, daughter-in-law MAE,

three grandsons and 2 great

grandchildren. ED IKUMA

remembers that Mr. Kuriyama was

a member of the Radio

Communications Section. He was

quiet but a very efficient radioman

in combat who took over the radio

section during part of the 100th’s

operation in Italy and France.

EVEN MORE OF DA MAINLAND CHAPTER NEWS by Peggy Mizumoto

Paying respect and remembering loved ones under "stay at

home" and social distancing

For those of us, either under stay at home orders or recommendations,

or voluntarily at home and socially distanced by choice, our trips to take

flowers to where loved ones have been laid to rest have sadly stopped for

now.

Recently, friends reached out,

knowing the anniversary of my

Dad's passing was June 8th. They

sympathized with our not being

able to "visit" Dad this year. My

Mom and I discussed being unable

to get the national cemetery in

Riverside, California, as usual.

But, we thought about him

throughout that day and thanked

Dad for "watching over us."

A dear friend in Hawaii shared

this brilliant idea with me. Her

family are all interred on the

mainland and she suggested something to me, that they do now. They

light a flameless candle in their home and put it near the photo of their

loved one who has passed away. It gives you a place to sit quietly and

remember. And, she said throughout the day, as you pass it, it will give

you pause to commemorate a special soul.

I immediately got a little Amazon "retail therapy" - ordered and

received flameless candles within just a few days. We decided, in this era

of COVID 19, the candles will be used to celebrate birthdays across the

miles, as well. It's a little annoying being considered "elderly", but

playing it safe at home is the most prudent now, especially when

caregiving. We send our warmest regards to all veterans, families and

friends, and thought this suggestion might be something of interest.

JAVA SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED TO 100TH GRANDDAUGHTER,

CAMI TOM

Congratulations are in order to 100th descendant,

CAMI TOM, who was selected as the recipient of a

scholarship from the Japanese American Veterans

Association (JAVA). Cami is the granddaughter of

YURI OGAWA and the late JAMES OGAWA of

Charlie Chapter who passed away three years ago.

Cami will be attending Biola University in the Fall.

Please enjoy her award winning essay about her

grandfather below:

“Growing up, I listened to stories told by my

mom and grandma about how my grandpa was only

nineteen years old when he decided to join the army;

but as a young girl, I didn’t understand these soldiers’

sacrifices, nor how their decisions would change the

future for Japanese Americans. Now that I have friends

who are nineteen, I see how selfless and brave my

grandpa was. I cannot imagine my friends forfeiting

their future endeavors to voluntarily enlist with the

army to fight in a war.

“Go For Broke” was a common phrase I heard

growing up, however, I didn’t fully understand the

value it held. I wore sweatshirts that had “Go For

Broke” written, and when friends asked me what it

meant, I couldn’t put it into words. I would often

answer, “My grandpa fought in WWII and it was a

phrase they would always say.” I look back on those

moments wishing I didn’t water down what this phrase

means to me. “Go For Broke” is not just a phrase that

gets tossed around, it’s a lifestyle. A lifestyle I saw my

grandpa live out. A lifestyle that I want to live out.

To me, “Go For Broke” means to give it your all

and hold nothing back. For ten years, I trained and

competed in Junior Olympic Gymnastics, overcoming

several injuries to earn state and regional titles. I’ve

worked to the best of my ability in high school, being

inducted into the National Honor Society and the

California Scholarship Federation. Now that I’m

moving onto a new chapter in life, I can “Go For

Broke” in college. This fall, I’ll be attending Biola

University, where I’ll be majoring in Communication

Sciences and Disorders to pursue a career in Speech

Pathology. My grandpa inspired me to choose this

major because he had to overcome the challenges of

losing his ability to speak when he suffered from a

stroke. He had to work hard at vocal exercises and have

patience in his recovery time to reclaim something that

we take for granted—talking. Witnessing him prevail

over those debilities has inspired me to help others

do the same. This is my way of living a “Go For

Broke” lifestyle.

Winning this scholarship would validate that I

am living up to the legacy that my grandpa left.

Grandpa valued hard work. In elementary school, I

would tell my mom, “I don’t want to go to school.”

Then I would be reminded that school was a reward

to my grandpa because he had to wake up before

sunrise to complete chores on his family farm in

order to be rewarded the privilege to go to school.

That recollection would always change my mind.

Sometimes I think college is just something that I

have to do, but really it’s a privilege that I get to

pursue my dream. This scholarship would help me in

the pursuit of leaving my legacy at my dream college

to honor my grandpa, forever my hero.”

(PPP Editor’s Note: Thank you to Mainland

Chapter Reporter DAVID WATANABE for letting

me know about Cami’s wonderful accomplishments.

David also passed along this request, “If there are

any Hawaii folks also attending Biola University,

please, please look her up. Also please teach her

how to speak some pidgin because she only knows

how to speak kotonk English. Cami by the way is a

very talented scholar athlete, has a wonderful

personality and as you can see from the photo, has a

million dollar smile.”

He also added, “Yuri thanked me profusely for

sending the scholarship application but I told her I

had no recollection of sending such an email. Today

I checked the old messages and sure enough I did

forward it to her on April 15th which was when you

sent that JAVA info out to everyone. I'll tell Yuri

you deserve credit too!!”)

APARTMENT UPDATE by John Covington

Telephone: (808)942-7100 Email: [email protected] Web: www.cbi-hawaii.com

AVAILABLE APARTMENTS

We currently have two vacant units

in the apartment building, #105 on the

first floor and #304 on the third floor.

We may

have additional

vacancies

opening up in

the future due to

tenants not

paying rent,

being nuisances to others or for other

reasons. I will let President ANN

KABASAWA, Treasurer BEVERLY

SHIROMA and the office know once

these apartments are available for rent

so they can pass on the details to you.

Please contact me directly if you

would like more information on the

available apartments as well as those

which may be available in the future.

REPAIRS

The United States Postal Service

called me last Saturday to let me know

that the mailbox at the apartment

building needs to be repaired or

replaced. My suggestion is that we

relocate it to a space at the stairs from

its current location in the apartment

parking area. However, this would

only be feasible after the concrete

work required by the railing

renovations is completed. An

alternative would be a stand alone

mailbox in the grass area or a wall

mounted mailbox by the wall across of

the washer/dryer on the ground floor.

RECOMMENDATIONS

I have suggested to President

Kabasawa that the building could

benefit from having an on-site

Watchman. An interview with a

potential Watchman was held on June

25.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

I hope everyone is doing well as we enter into yet another month

of coping with Covid. Unfortunately, I am not the only one in the

family who has grown in size due to the “Quarantine 15” weight gain.

My vet informed us yesterday that what we feared were cancerous

tumors in my girl dog were actually lumps of fat from the six pounds

she gained in the past two months, taking her up to a whopping 90

pounds! As she is a senior with bad knees (just like me), I often feel

like I am hauling several big bags of rice when I have to carry her.

That is one plus of having the kids at home, they can lift the heavier

okole part of her.

Aside from my obese dog problems, I have been spending the past

few weeks working on a video about the 100th Club for the Tadaima!

Virtual Pilgrimage event after ERIN AOYAMA asked President

ANN KABASAWA if we would like to participate in some way. As

often seems to happen, this assignment

somehow ended up in my ample lap and I had

to once again reluctantly enter the world of

technology that I had hesitatingly entered

with the Virtual Memorial Day Virtual

Ceremony in May. I should have stayed in

the comfortable Stone Age as it turned out to

be a whole lot harder than I expected, so

much so that my youngest son offered to buy me an Apple Computer

with his own money (I have an archaic PC) to make things easier, he

said, for me but in reality for him. After a lot of swearing and

chocolate eating, I did finally finish it and it will be shown during

Week Four of the Pilgrimage. Please be kind to this newbie

filmmaker - in other words, no monku-ing allowed.

With the news of so many events being impacted due to Covid,

including our beloved Las Vegas Mini-Reunion in October, we are

trying to come up with virtual or social distancing alternatives for our

own Anniversary Banquet, Grave Decorating and the Rifle Chapter

fundraiser rather than just cancelling them until 2021. If you have

any suggestions or would like to help, please send them to me at

[email protected] and I’ll pass them on to the Board

of Directors.

Speaking of the Rifle Chapter fundraising efforts, please visit the

Clubhouse during office hours to check out the ongoing Rifle Chapter

Mini-Craft Fair. A variety of handcrafted items, craft supplies and

craft projects are for sale including seatbelt and handle covers, bags

of fabric remnants, pre-cut material and backing that just need to be

sewed to complete, and lots more. Photographs of some of the

inventory are available on the 100th Infantry Battalion Veterans aka

Club 100 Facebook page. Thank you to those shoppers who helped

us already raise over $500 to support Rifle Chapter community

service projects.

We are still working out the logistics of the Rifle Chapter Garage

Sale that had previously been postponed but donations are still being

accepted and can be dropped off at the Clubhouse during office hours.

JAPANESE NATIONALS ON THE USS MAINE by the Japanese American

Veterans Association Research Team (JRT)

At 9:40 PM on February 15, 1898, five tons of

powder charges exploded in the forward section of the

battleship USS Maine as she lay at anchor in the harbor

of Havana, Cuba. The explosion obliterated that part of

the ship where the enlisted crew had their quarters and

were retiring for the night. Of the 355-member crew (26

officers, 290 enlisted seamen and 39 Marines), 261 men

died or were declared missing and presumed

dead. Ninety-four men survived and, of this number, 16

were not injured. Though largely American, the crew

also included citizens of Canada, Great Britain, Russia,

Japan, China, and the Philippines.

Of the USS Maine’s 261 known or missing/presumed

dead, 231 have gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery

and 27 at the USS Maine Plot in the Key West, Florida,

City Cemetery. The remains of three men were returned

to their families. The identities of 63 men interred in

Arlington National Cemetery are known and 168

gravesites are dedicated to those whose bodies were

never found and who were declared missing/presumed

dead. The USS Maine Plot, dedicated on December 11,

1898, and administered by the City of Key West and the

U.S. Navy, contains nine gravesites of identified

crewmen and 18 dedicated to those missing/presumed

dead.

Nine Japanese nationals were serving as U.S. Navy

seamen aboard the USS Maine when it was

destroyed. One had completed 14 years of sea duty; three

had completed their first three-year enlistments and were

on their second three-year enlistments; and five were in

their first three-year enlistment. Two of the nine men

survived; one was wounded, the other

uninjured. KASHITARA SUZUKI’s body was

recovered from the Maine on March 24, 1898, one week

before recovery activity stopped with 75 bodies still in

the vessel. His tombstone is at Spot 47 in the USS Maine

Plot of the Key West City Cemetery. It is likely that the

unidentified remains of the six Japanese seamen declared

missing/presumed dead are also interred in the City

Cemetery. In Key West their graves are marked by

individual tombstones bearing the inscription, “One

Unknown. U.S. Battleship Maine. Killed in Havana

Harbor, February 15, 1898,”. It is not known how many

of the Asian nationals risked their lives to gain

U.S. citizenship that was not otherwise possible as the

U.S. Naturalization Act of 1790 prohibited Asians from

becoming U.S. citizens.

TADAIMA! VIRTUAL PILGRIMAGE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY from the

Japanese American Memorial Pilgrimage website at www.jampilgrimages.com/

Tadaima! A Community Virtual Pilgrimage, a

collaborative undertaking, involving representatives

from many different contingents of the Nikkei

community, as well as scholars, artists, and

educators committed to actively memorializing the

history of Japanese American incarceration during

World War II, will be wrapping up week two of its

nine week run from June 13 to August 16 as the

PPP goes to press. Rather than separate in-person

pilgrimages, Tadaima! is bringing together the

unique traditions from each internment site with

new pre-recorded and live content - online exhibits,

workshops, performances, lectures, panel

discussions, film screenings, a community archive,

and more - to create accessible and wide- ranging

opportunities for learning, sharing stories, and

building community.

Each of the nine weeks is centered around a

specific theme. Week four (July 5 to July 11) will

feature programming on the theme “A Question of

Loyalty” and will include a short video about the

100th Infantry Battalion Veterans organization as

well as other new content about the Japanese

American World War II veterans.

Each day of the week also focuses on the

following themes: Community Sunday, Museum

Monday, Tend Your Garden Tuesday, Wisdom

Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, Fine Arts

Friday and Socially Distant Saturday.

Foodies may enjoy the “Sunday Supper”

segments which include recipes and hands-on

cooking demonstrations such as making takuan

from scratch or pickling ume.

If you are staying home due to Covid, you will

surely enjoy the Film Festival of Japanese

American movies and documentaries selected

based on that week’s theme: https://

www.jampilgrimages.com/film-festival

For the younger generation, a new episode of

The Yon-Say Podcast is presented by Nikkei Rising

every week. The podcast is a round-table

discussion with young adults involved and around

the Japanese American community. You can listen

on Spotify or at the JAMP website at https://
