Aiming for a town where everyone can live comfortably
Initiatives of Niseko Seikatsu no Ie
Do you know about "Niseko Seikatsu no Ie" located in the Arishima area?
Many people may have come across it through the indigo-dyed products sold at the spring and autumn bazaars and the roadside station Niseko View Plaza.
This month, we will be celebrating 25 years in Niseko Town with the aim of allowing people with disabilities to live in the community with their families, friends, and local people.
I would like to introduce "Niseko Seikatsu Ie" where I have been active.
Until I came to Niseko Town
The predecessor of "Niseko Seikatsu Ie" was the "Sapporo Association for Promoting Education that Grows Together", which was established in 1978. At the meeting,
1. Living in the community
2. It doesn't matter if you have a disability
3. Promote outreach to schools
Based on these three points as a common foundation, we worked with the aim of all children growing together, learning together, and living together in the community.
At the time, these movements were heavily criticized by school officials, and even after completing compulsory education, those who were said to have severe ``disorder'' had nowhere to go, and were placed in detention centers isolated from their families and communities. It was a time when it was considered natural to go to (the word of the time).
Therefore, in 1983, mainly parents of children with disabilities, established a small workshop called Seikatsu Ie in Nishi Ward, Sapporo, as a place for children with disabilities to live after completing their compulsory education. Set in an old rented house
``It was a strange space where all kinds of people came and went,'' (from ``Seikatsu no Ie News'').
They actively interacted with local people and various organizations through events such as beach swimming, overnight training sessions, and Christmas parties.
After that, many friends joined, and in 1985, they moved to a large house in Kita Ward. Parents and children from each ward in Sapporo attended the school, and like Nishi Ward, they were promoting interaction with local residents.
However, as the caregivers and their guardians themselves grow older, they find it difficult to commute from each ward in Sapporo, and we are faced with the serious issue of how to provide a place for young people with disabilities to live after the death of their parents. It will be.
As all members of the group discussed this issue, we continued to work together to create a place to live a lively life together with family and friends in the local community. We confirmed that families and supporters will live side by side and help each other.
In order to make these wishes come true, Seikatsu Ie decided to move its activities and lifestyle to Niseko Town was rich in nature and was undergoing pioneering town development.
Niseko Town cooperated greatly in the search for land, and during the design and construction period, we also deepened our relationships with local residents.
At the end of 1997, when ``Niseko Seikatsu Ie'' was established in Arishima, a land of mutual aid where Takeo Arishima released his farmland free of charge, he and his friends moved to Niseko Town.
Niseko Seikatsu Ie is constructed using a cooperative method (a method in which the process from purchasing the land to the design and construction of common areas is carried out jointly), and the land is purchased by the parents and supporters of the parties (the land cost is shared). (Ideology of equality and sharing), the construction costs for the dormitory were jointly borne by the parents, and each family was responsible for the cost of their own home.
Niseko lifestyle house model
Our thoughts behind “House of Life” and “Young People”
The name ``Seikatsu no Ie'' is based on the concept of valuing ``relationships'' in daily life, and valuing the importance of being aware of each other in the midst of interacting with each other in unmanaged relationships. It contains the desire to go.
When Seikatsu Ie was established, we had a lot of discussions about what to call the parents and supporters who attend Seikatsu Ie.
At the time, it was common to refer to them as residents or residents, but we decided to call them ``young people'' to reflect our desire to live a normal life in the community and value each individual's existence.
Over the past 40 years, the school education system and welfare policy for people with disabilities have changed significantly, with the trend moving away from a system of measures and toward selecting and contracting for services. ``User-san'' has become the common name.
However, Seikatsu Ie was established and operated mainly by the ``young people'' and ``parents'' who attend the school, together with those who support them.
Therefore, even after 40 years, they are still "young people."
Principles of “House of Life”
・Live with family and friends in the community
Live.
・Do not differentiate based on the type or degree of “disability.”
・Productivity does not matter. Living is that
For people, it is ``labor'' and ``work.''
This principle is reflected in the name "young people."
Activities in Niseko Town
Seikatsu no Ie has continued to maintain good relationships with residents, including participation in local events and daily visits.
In 1999, we were certified as an NPO, and in 2006, with the enactment of the Act on Independence of Persons with Disabilities, we became the "Niseko Town Community Activities Support Center."
During this time, parents continued to discuss the future ``place of life'' for ``young people,'' and in 2012, they compiled a proposal for the construction of a ``place of life'' and presented it to the town. A wall stands in the way.
So, one of the first steps we took was to draw up a will stating that after the death of our parents, each of us would donate our homes to the ``House of Life''.
In 2019, the parents discussed the matter again and agreed to build a "place to live."
We have had many discussions about ``how to live (place of residence)'' and ``the size and facilities of the building'' outside of our daytime activities at the Community Activities Support Center.
We have held numerous discussions with the town and requested their cooperation in constructing a ``place to live.'' At the same time, we have secured a certain amount of funding through donations and the sale of land owned by the NPO Niseko Seikatsu no Ie.
However, construction costs have skyrocketed due to the requirements of the Fire Service Act and Building Standards Act, as well as the rising cost of materials.
We are currently continuing discussions with the town.
Now in 2023, parents are getting older and it is becoming difficult to live with them. In order for young people to continue living in Niseko Town, there is an urgent need to create a place for them to live.
The concept of “a place to live”
・Aiming for a ``symbiotic lifestyle'' that is typical of a ``house of living'' that is not limited to existing group homes.
・Based on the principle of Seikatsu no Ie, we will respect the individual lives of each and every ``gaisha'' as a normal citizen, and place the utmost importance on the thoughts of young people.
What I do at home
Niseko Seikatsu no Ie carries out various activities as a community activity support center.
A community activity support center is a support organization that is positioned as one of the "community life support projects" carried out by the government, and is a place to promote opportunities for creative or productive activities and social exchange during day-to-day activities. is.
Interaction with the local community
●Spring/autumn bazaar
Although the event continued to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was held on a smaller scale last year for the first time in three years, and this year it has been returned to its original size.
It is not only a valuable opportunity for young people to interact with the local community, but also an important source of operating funds.
●Welfare Festival
It is a festival that deepens interactions between children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
●Halloween pumpkin doodle contest
Everyone participates every year by drawing pictures on pumpkins. You may also receive a special award.
●Christmas party
We all play games and enjoy meals together. Before the coronavirus pandemic, we would invite local people and have fun together.
Resource recovery/dismantling of used books
Every Friday, we collect resources by visiting elementary, junior high, and high schools in the town, town facilities, and partner companies in the town.
At the collection points, young people also greet people and interact with local people.
The collected waste paper, used books, catalogs, and milk cartons are dismantled and transported to Doei Shigyo, where they become important operating funds.
gymnastics or walking
I try to maintain my physical strength by doing radio calisthenics every morning and doing rhythm and stretching exercises while watching videos on my computer.
We also take walks in nearby parks and around our homes, and depending on each child's physical strength, we choose to walk long distances or take walks in the forest.
Outing that touches the seasons
I go for drives to nearby parks and enjoy playing in the water in Toyoura Town and the shores of Lake Toya.
Last year, we went grape picking in Sobetsu town as a parent-child recreation trip. It was flat and easy to walk around, and the people at the orchard were kind and enjoyable.
Indigo dyeing and soap making
Indigo-dyed works are sold at the roadside station Niseko View Plaza.
We make soap for home use, as gifts, and for personal sale.
Other activities
We express our gratitude by writing winter greetings and thank you letters to everyone who has taken care of us and who have supported us.
In addition, we draw seasonal posters using paint, origami, calligraphy, etc., and display them on the walls to add color to our daily lives.
Users and staff
There are 7 users of Seikatsu no Ie, and 3 staff members: 2 full-time and 1 part-time. In addition, 17 people, mainly parents of users, are involved in accounting, general affairs, business, etc. without compensation (as of the end of August 2023).
Trends in business income
Business trends from 2017 to 2022 are shown below.
In 2020 and 2021, many events such as bazaars were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and our income was cut in half.
Even during the coronavirus pandemic, with the cooperation of tourism-related businesses, we were able to secure the same income as before the coronavirus pandemic.
Sales at roadside stations are also good for flower seedlings.

The meaning of the bells that young people ring
The bell that rings to signal the start of the bazaar was built with the kindness of maintenance members from the Sapporo era.
Everyone at Seikatsu no Ie calls it the "Mio Tsukushi Bell." This bell was built with great care, praying for a home, a path for young people, and safety.
The bell is ringing to symbolize the decision and thoughts of moving to Niseko Town, and the feeling that the newly met young people will walk together.
At Seikatsu Ie, we would like to cherish sharing these feelings with the people who come to our bazaar.

Ms. Nahoko Hasegawa
(Chairman of NPO Niseko Seikatsu no Ie)
We want to value the relationship between “young people” and the local community.
At Seikatsu no Ie, we work to think about how we can enrich the lives of young people.
To achieve this, we need to be deeply involved with each individual. You will be able to understand ``young people'' depending on how consciously you engage with them.
If you approach them from a "top-down" perspective, they will sense it right away and close their minds.
In the future, I would like to continue to value the relationship between "young people" and the local community.
The "young people" are relatively old, in their 40s and 50s, so if you were a child you would be forgiven, but if you shake their hand or talk to them, they will be surprised, but they genuinely just want to be friends.
I think it is important to explain things properly and get involved with the local community.
It is still not normal for people with disabilities to live in the community.
In the past, Niseko Junior High School's music club performed at Seikatsu no Ie, and Niseko High School teachers and students even came to help with the bazaar.
We would be happy if local people would feel free to come and visit our home outside of the bazaar, or if they saw the ``young people'' out for a walk, they would feel free to come up and say hi.
Naoko Mizukami
( Local resident)
I think it would be good for the town to become a place where people with disabilities can live normally in the community.
In the city, you often see people in wheelchairs, but in Niseko Town you rarely see them.
However, I wanted people to know that there are many different kinds of people in the world, so I once took my children to a bazaar at a family home.
I was hoping that by meeting young people, I would be able to reflect on myself and think about what kind of society we would like to live in in a way that is easy for everyone to live in.
The performers who performed at Arishima Takeo Memorial Museum also performed at Seikatsu no Ie, and I heard them perform at Seikatsu Ie several times.
The ``young people'' all have a lot of sensibilities, so some of them expressed themselves by swaying their bodies, and it was great to listen to the music in such an environment.
About 20 years ago, when I was a Niseko Junior High School PTA officer, I suggested that the music club perform at Seikatsu no Ie.
For the music club, we thought that performing outside of school would increase motivation and improve the level of performance.
Just as interacting with children from other countries breaks down barriers when you are a child, I think it is important to interact with children with disabilities from an early age. I think it would be good if Niseko Town became a town where people with disabilities can live normally and integrate into the community.

(Parents of “young people”)
There are things that you can understand because they intersect.
When my son, who has Down syndrome and heart disease, was born, I was determined to survive with my husband and son.
Thinking about my son's future, I talked to those around me about starting a boarding house where both able-bodied and disabled people could live together, and many of my friends agreed.
Some of them wanted to live in a place surrounded by nature, and when my husband passed away, they invited me to go to the countryside with them.
Many of my friends had already moved to Niseko Town, and the advanced town planning was also a hot topic.
It is also a land of mutual aid, and we thought it was the same thing we were trying to do, so we decided to move our ``home'' to Niseko Town.
When I first met Mayor Osaka (at the time), I told him that I was worried about discrimination from residents, having been involved in protests against the construction of facilities for people with disabilities in Sapporo, and he replied, ``I will do my best to protect you.'' '', I was deeply moved.
The people at the town hall were also very helpful, even talking to the town committee members.
As I went to neighborhood association meetings and to help out at farmers' farms, I started to have more contact with local people (Shigeko Kawaguchi).
I bought land a long time ago with the idea of running a pension in Niseko in the future so that I could live with my disabled son.
In 1997, he opened a barrier-free pension in Niseko Town. However, my son gradually started having flashbacks of the bullying he suffered in middle school and high school, and he became mentally unstable.
I had known about Seikatsu no Ie since my days in Sapporo, so I decided to visit Seikatsu Ie around 2019.
I moved with my son. If I didn't have a home to live in,
I think he went back to Sapporo (Noriko Ito).
There are things that you can "understand because they intersect." We would like to continue to cherish opportunities to interact with local residents by increasing the number of locations where we collect resources.
Welfare is more of a shadow part. However, you never know when you too will become disabled due to an accident.
Some people born with disabilities are unable to live in Niseko Town and live in facilities far away.
I hope that such people can continue to live in this town (Shigeko Kawaguchi and Noriko Ito).
Many people may have come across it through the indigo-dyed products sold at the spring and autumn bazaars and the roadside station Niseko View Plaza.
This month, we will be celebrating 25 years in Niseko Town with the aim of allowing people with disabilities to live in the community with their families, friends, and local people.

I think he went back to Sapporo (Noriko Ito).
There are things that you can "understand because they intersect." We would like to continue to cherish opportunities to interact with local residents by increasing the number of locations where we collect resources.
Welfare is more of a shadow part. However, you never know when you too will become disabled due to an accident.
Some people born with disabilities are unable to live in Niseko Town and live in facilities far away.
I hope that such people can continue to live in this town (Shigeko Kawaguchi and Noriko Ito).

Community development lecture for citizens towards formulating architectural guidelines
The town held the 214th and 215th town development lectures on architectural guidelines on August 24th and 25th.
The town has been working to create a better landscape through Landscape Ordinance and quasi-urban planning.
However, in recent years, complex construction and development plans, including unprecedented large-scale developments, have been increasing in each region, making it difficult to handle these projects with current ordinances and regulations alone. It's becoming more and more.
Therefore, for the past three years, the town has been working on formulating architectural guidelines that define goals, policies, and standards for landscape formation for the town as a whole and for each region.
Planned to be formulated within this fiscal year

On September 5th, the town held the 216th Town Development Citizens' Course "Disaster Prevention Seminar."
Approximately 20 people learned how to protect children from disasters and outdoor-style disaster prevention techniques, led by Andorisu, who supervises NHK Hokkaido's ``What's Disaster Prevention?'' program.

I'll do my best with lots of energy! Kindergarten sports day
On September 9th, Kindergarten Sports Day was held at Niseko Elementary School Ground.
On a refreshing day, the sports day started with all the kindergarteners performing the "Mickey Mouse March Exercises."
The fox group and the raccoon group compete in the red and white ball. I inserted a lot of balls while the teacher held me.
The sheep group pretends to be farmers, fills baskets and sleighs with colorful vegetables, and runs to the finish line.
The Kuma group was divided into red and white teams, and they easily completed difficult obstacles such as vaulting boxes that were taller than their height, climbing over large doorboards, and crossing the balance beam on the way down.
The children were enthusiastically cheered and applauded by their parents as they worked hard in the competition.
Let's all cooperate and not lose! (Fox group and raccoon group: younger children)
Big harvest festival for the sheep group (year-round children)!
The Bear group (older children) can also jump over high vaulting boxes!

Community development lecture for citizens towards formulating architectural guidelines
The town held the 214th and 215th town development lectures on architectural guidelines on August 24th and 25th.
The town has been working to create a better landscape through Landscape Ordinance and quasi-urban planning.
However, in recent years, complex construction and development plans, including unprecedented large-scale developments, have been increasing in each region, making it difficult to handle these projects with current ordinances and regulations alone. It's becoming more and more.
Therefore, for the past three years, the town has been working on formulating architectural guidelines that define goals, policies, and standards for landscape formation for the town as a whole and for each region.
Planned to be formulated within this fiscal year

We will post greetings from members who graduated at the end of July 2023.
I became an employee of Niseko Machi Co., Ltd. from August of this year. I joined the volunteer force in July last year, and since it was still early, I thought about whether to continue as a volunteer volunteer or quit, but I decided to put my foot down and promote what Niseko City is aiming for.
I decided to.
Through event support for the volunteer groups and Niseko Town work, I was able to connect with many people living in the town, including shops, pensions, and hotels.
This is an irreplaceable treasure.
This important accomplishment would not have been possible without the support of my partner, family, volunteer team members, former workplace members, friends, and Niseko Town members.
thank you very much.
Up until now, we have been working to use energy without wasting it, but in addition to this, we would like to help create systems that people living in the city can enjoy. Thank you, continue.

Tanabata night
I participated in the Tanabata evening held on August 5th.
I was involved in a wide range of tasks such as operation and preparations for the day before, and it was a great opportunity to experience the summer fireworks festival that is unique to Niseko Town.
In particular, the hot air balloon experience, which is one of the highlights of Tanabata Evening, is very popular among people of all ages and genders, and I myself was able to experience a hot air balloon for the first time.
In this way, Tanabata Evening is a summer festival where you can experience an extraordinary experience, and it is one of the most rewarding events in the town, and at the same time, it is a valuable opportunity to deepen friendships with the townspeople and the people who run the festival. I thought.
I was also very impressed by the smiles on the faces of the townspeople, and I felt a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment by being involved in the operation. (Ago Miyamae)

2nd year Misa Kudo (from Ebetsu City)
Addressing human resource shortages
At the place I am assigned, I mainly support the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
After actually working there, I learned that Niseko Town has a serious shortage of human resources.
I have experience working as a cook at an elementary school, so I often receive requests from restaurants.
I sometimes do work in other industries or fields that I have no experience with, but that is also interesting and provides a good stimulus.
I feel that this type of work allows me to gather information about cafe management, which I am aiming for as an independent activity, and also provides a place for me to meet new people.
One of the things I enjoy is hearing from employees about delicious ingredients and restaurants in the Niseko area.
We will continue to do our best every day to help alleviate the shortage of human resources!

Niseko and used clothes
Comfy, a used clothing store that I started in the winter of my first year, will soon be entering its third year.
The secondhand clothing store, which I started with a lot of anxiety at first, has quietly continued on with the encouragement and courage of the many regular customers.
Customers come not only from within the town, but also from outside the town, and I myself am really enjoying the business.
From the second year onwards, I started participating in various events as a stallholder.
By participating, you can receive advice from stall owners in other regions, so I think opening a stall is a great opportunity to receive a lot of opinions and inspiration.
This is my third year as a volunteer volunteer, with only six months left.
I would like to cherish the time I have left and do my best to continue running my second-hand clothing store, Comfy. Please come and visit us!
ShiriBeshi Glocal Internship
On August 17th (Thursday), a networking event was held with university students participating in the internship program "ShiriBeshi Glocal Internship (commonly known as ShiriBeshi Study Abroad)" conducted by the Shiribeshi General Promotion Bureau, four volunteer volunteers, and one international relations officer. I did.
At the meet-up, we talked about our careers to date, why we moved to Niseko Town, and our future life plans.
We hope that the networking event will broaden the interns' horizons and lead them to take on the challenges of their future dreams and things they want to do.
We look forward to seeing you next time in Niseko in winter! (Emi Deguchi)
PET bottle rocket launch experience support
On Monday, August 21st, we had a chance to experience launching a plastic bottle rocket with the children in the after-school children's classroom and children's building.
Four members from the Japan Cooperation Volunteers participated in the support, and more than 40 children came.
Some of the children launched the ball two or three times, and some were challenging themselves to see who could launch it the farthest.
Although the event was held in the heat, I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. (Koichi Fukikoshi)

I sometimes do work in other industries or fields that I have no experience with, but that is also interesting and provides a good stimulus.
I feel that this type of work allows me to gather information about cafe management, which I am aiming for as an independent activity, and also provides a place for me to meet new people.
One of the things I enjoy is hearing from employees about delicious ingredients and restaurants in the Niseko area.
We will continue to do our best every day to help alleviate the shortage of human resources!

Niseko and used clothes
Comfy, a used clothing store that I started in the winter of my first year, will soon be entering its third year.
The secondhand clothing store, which I started with a lot of anxiety at first, has quietly continued on with the encouragement and courage of the many regular customers.
Customers come not only from within the town, but also from outside the town, and I myself am really enjoying the business.
From the second year onwards, I started participating in various events as a stallholder.
By participating, you can receive advice from stall owners in other regions, so I think opening a stall is a great opportunity to receive a lot of opinions and inspiration.
This is my third year as a volunteer volunteer, with only six months left.
I would like to cherish the time I have left and do my best to continue running my second-hand clothing store, Comfy. Please come and visit us!
ShiriBeshi Glocal Internship
On August 17th (Thursday), a networking event was held with university students participating in the internship program "ShiriBeshi Glocal Internship (commonly known as ShiriBeshi Study Abroad)" conducted by the Shiribeshi General Promotion Bureau, four volunteer volunteers, and one international relations officer. I did.
At the meet-up, we talked about our careers to date, why we moved to Niseko Town, and our future life plans.
We hope that the networking event will broaden the interns' horizons and lead them to take on the challenges of their future dreams and things they want to do.
We look forward to seeing you next time in Niseko in winter! (Emi Deguchi)
PET bottle rocket launch experience support
On Monday, August 21st, we had a chance to experience launching a plastic bottle rocket with the children in the after-school children's classroom and children's building.
Four members from the Japan Cooperation Volunteers participated in the support, and more than 40 children came.
Some of the children launched the ball two or three times, and some were challenging themselves to see who could launch it the farthest.
Although the event was held in the heat, I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. (Koichi Fukikoshi)

We harvested vegetables! Kindergarten
The potatoes planted in the spring have grown large, and the Kuma-gumi (older children) dug the potatoes.
Many of the children said it was their first time harvesting potatoes, and they cheered when they pulled the vines and large potatoes came out.
The children looked happy as they harvested a lot of large potatoes and held them in their hands.
We were able to harvest some large and nice pumpkins, and we all took them to Kindergarten.
The harvested vegetables are cooked in the school lunch room and enjoyed by everyone.
I caught a lot!
CPR Ohisama
We held an emergency course for parents of small children to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other techniques.
Niseko Fire Department staff showed us on a projector how to treat broken bones, how to stop bleeding, and what to do in case of accidental ingestion.The second half was a demonstration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for infants and how to use an AED.
They kindly provided me with technical guidance.
Participating mothers gave very positive comments, such as ``I learned a lot because it was difficult to learn how to use cardiopulmonary resuscitation,'' and ``I'm glad I was able to participate and learn a lot.''
It takes a surprising amount of strength! !
“Ohisama” is a place where parents and children can play casually, and where friends can talk about their worries. (Inside Kindergarten)

A healthy body starts with your teeth and mouth
It is becoming clear that periodontal disease, which is the leading cause of tooth loss, has an impact on the whole body.
Daily dental and oral care is important.
What kind of disease is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease is a disease that destroys the gums and bones that support the teeth.
The cause of periodontal disease is periodontal bacteria that accumulates in the plaque between the teeth and gums.
This bacteria causes inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and gradually destroys the periodontal tissue.
Periodontal disease has few symptoms in its early stages, but by the time you notice it, it has progressed and you may lose your teeth.
Self-check for periodontal disease
If applicable, seek treatment for periodontal disease as soon as possible.
・My bad breath was pointed out to me, so I was concerned about it myself.
Become
・When you wake up in the morning, your mouth is sticky
Do
・Blood comes out when brushing your teeth
- Gums are red and swollen
- Gums recede and teeth become longer
-It's easy for things to get stuck between your teeth
・I feel like my teeth are floating.
Diseases related to periodontal disease
1. Diabetes: Periodontal disease has long been said to be one of the complications of diabetes.
Furthermore, it has recently become clear that periodontal disease is associated with worsening diabetes symptoms.
Periodontal disease and diabetes are said to have a bidirectional relationship.
2. Angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction: Arteriosclerosis has been thought to be caused by lifestyle habits such as diet, lack of exercise, and stress, but another factor is bacteria such as periodontal disease bacteria.
Infection has received attention. Stimulation from periodontal disease bacteria causes substances that induce arteriosclerosis to be released, causing blood vessels to become clogged.
For the same reason, it is thought that cerebral infarction is also likely to be related to periodontal disease.
3. Pneumonia: Many of the bacteria that cause aspiration pneumonia, which occurs when food or foreign objects are accidentally swallowed into the trachea or lungs, are said to be periodontal disease bacteria.
Oral health begins with a tooth-brushing habit that leaves no residue left behind.
Even if you brush your teeth every day, if there is any leftover brush left behind, this can lead to cavities and periodontal disease.
Let's learn self-care that leaves no residue.
1. Carefully brush the areas where dental plaque tends to accumulate: Focus on the biting grooves of the back teeth, the spaces between the teeth, and the boundaries between the teeth and gums.
2. Check the condition of your teeth and gums in the mirror: Checking the condition of your teeth and gums in the mirror is the first step in preventing periodontal disease.
The important points are whether there is any dental plaque, whether the gums are swollen, and whether the border between the teeth and the gums is narrow.
3. Use floss and interdental brushes: Use dental floss and interdental brushes to thoroughly remove plaque in areas that are difficult to reach with the bristles of your toothbrush.
4. See your dentist: Your dentist can directly check your oral health.
Oral health is connected to overall health, so it is important to work with your dentist to improve your oral health.

●This month’s theme “Harassment Investigation”
Recently, sexual assault and harassment committed by a certain corporation has been making headlines.
In the news, it is reported that the corporation has created and published a 67-page investigation report by an outside expert, recognizing sexual assault and harassment, and has established measures to prevent recurrence.
By the way, when a business owner receives a request for consultation regarding harassment such as sexual harassment or power harassment in the workplace, the employer should investigate the facts and, if it is determined that harassment has occurred, take measures to prevent recurrence. It is stipulated by law that companies must formulate the following (Article 11 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act and Article 30-2 of the Power Harassment Prevention Act).
Therefore, there is a legal basis for the investigation by an outside expert of a certain corporation, and it can be said that the corporation not only conducted the investigation but also made its own efforts in making the matter public.
Harassment investigations proceed without a clear understanding of the overall picture, and in some cases, the level required by law is not reached.
Therefore, I think that one way is to take the plunge and leave the investigation to an outside party.

【Note】
October is “Illegal Light Oil Prevention Month”
Illegal light oil refers to mixed light oil, which is made by mixing light oil with kerosene, heavy oil, etc., and manufactured light oil, which is mixed with petroleum products other than light oil.
Selling or using illegal diesel fuel as fuel for trucks, etc. constitutes tax evasion of the diesel oil collection tax.
In addition, these illegal diesel fuels increase PM (particulate matter) and NOx (nitrogen oxides) in exhaust gas, causing air pollution and having a negative impact on the natural environment.
In Hokkaido, October is designated as ``Illegal Gas Oil Prevention Month'' and efforts are being made to eradicate illegal diesel oil.
If you have any information regarding illegal diesel oil, please contact us.

Activities of a town development company! Vol.33
We held an outdoor event at the end of summer.
On Sunday, August 27th, we held an event for bench building, chainsaw art, and edamame harvesting!
Mr. Arai, a member of the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team, used a chainsaw to cut a large log to make a bench using the Sakhalin fir felled during the Shingetsu Fell and Leaf Garbage Tour.
During the chainsaw art tour, Mr. Kinoshita, who participated as a guest lecturer, proceeded with the production and created a rabbit art piece.
The children made yellow flower decorations and it was a very cute atmosphere.
The children who participated watched the work with great interest.
When harvesting edamame beans, we harvested them with the branches still attached, and everyone worked together to remove the edamame beans.
We prepared the soil with plenty of nutrients before sowing, and the beans grew into big, plump beans.
I boiled and ate freshly harvested edamame on the spot and was impressed by the sweetness of the freshly harvested tea beans.
After enjoying the sweetness of edamame, we planted cherries.
Seven seedlings that are cousins of the twin cherry trees inherited from Niseko High School. Everyone dug a hole and planted the tree, saying, ``I hope it grows big.''
Everyone looked serious while planting, and their smiles after planting were wonderful.
Our next event will be a fun fall outdoor event on Sunday, October 29th!
While roasting sweet potatoes over a bonfire, we will collect seeds from the edamame we have grown for next year.
We look forward to your participation in the future!

Do not dispose of garbage by burning it!
Burning household garbage in drums, block enclosures, on the ground, etc. is called ``open burning,'' but open burning is prohibited by law.
Burning in the open produces a large amount of smoke and odor.
This smoke may contain harmful substances, which can harm the health of nearby residents and leave behind odors in laundry and rooms, deteriorating the living environment.
Additionally, sparks may fly in the wind and ignite surrounding plants, causing a fire.
Even if the amount of garbage to be burned is small or there are no people living nearby, burning garbage in the open is a crime, and violators are subject to up to 5 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to 10 million yen, or both. Never burn garbage in the open, as you may be fined.

Consumer affairs consultation memo
Please check carefully before signing a contract
``I signed a contract that was recommended to me by a business that visited me, but I want to cancel the contract because it's not what I expected. Is there anything I can do?'' is frequently received at our counter.
There are people who are busy and end up signing a contract without carefully checking the details, and there are people who sign a contract because it looks good after listening to the explanation, but when they carefully review the contract, they find that it's not what they expected. .
If you receive a surprise visit and end up signing a contract, there is a "cooling off" system that allows you to reconsider and cancel the contract.
However, this system can only be used if the consumer has entered into a contract with a business operator, and there is a restriction that the consumer must give notice of cancellation within a certain period of time from the date of the contract.
Just because there is a cooling off period doesn't mean it's okay to sign a contract.
Furthermore, please be aware that when a contract is signed in the name of a business for business purposes, such as ○○ farm or ○○ store, the contract is not between the consumer and the business, but between the businesses. Therefore, it is not possible to cancel using the cooling-off system.
Before signing a contract, be sure to thoroughly check the contract details, including not only the costs but also the terms and conditions for cancellation.
If you have signed a contract but want to cancel it, don't know what to do, or are involved in a problem, please contact the consultation center or the town hall as soon as possible.

school improvement
In recent years, it has been pointed out that schools are becoming inward-looking and black boxes, and there is a need for schools that are open to society.
In order to promote "Niseko Style Education", Niseko Town 's elementary, junior high and high schools and Kindergarten have launched a "Niseko Style Education" study group in 2023, and are divided into four subcommittees to carry out specific research activities. I decided to do this.
In addition, we will further promote the activities of the town community school in order to deepen cooperation and exchange with the local community. I would like to thank all the committee members.
It is important for each school to make efforts to inform the local community about its various educational activities.
To that end, we are planning to present the results of our efforts so far at a training session on November 15th, so please come and see it.

●This month’s theme “Harassment Investigation”
Recently, sexual assault and harassment committed by a certain corporation has been making headlines.
In the news, it is reported that the corporation has created and published a 67-page investigation report by an outside expert, recognizing sexual assault and harassment, and has established measures to prevent recurrence.
By the way, when a business owner receives a request for consultation regarding harassment such as sexual harassment or power harassment in the workplace, the employer should investigate the facts and, if it is determined that harassment has occurred, take measures to prevent recurrence. It is stipulated by law that companies must formulate the following (Article 11 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act and Article 30-2 of the Power Harassment Prevention Act).
Therefore, there is a legal basis for the investigation by an outside expert of a certain corporation, and it can be said that the corporation not only conducted the investigation but also made its own efforts in making the matter public.
Harassment investigations proceed without a clear understanding of the overall picture, and in some cases, the level required by law is not reached.
Therefore, I think that one way is to take the plunge and leave the investigation to an outside party.

【Note】
October is “Illegal Light Oil Prevention Month”
Illegal light oil refers to mixed light oil, which is made by mixing light oil with kerosene, heavy oil, etc., and manufactured light oil, which is mixed with petroleum products other than light oil.
Selling or using illegal diesel fuel as fuel for trucks, etc. constitutes tax evasion of the diesel oil collection tax.
In addition, these illegal diesel fuels increase PM (particulate matter) and NOx (nitrogen oxides) in exhaust gas, causing air pollution and having a negative impact on the natural environment.
In Hokkaido, October is designated as ``Illegal Gas Oil Prevention Month'' and efforts are being made to eradicate illegal diesel oil.

Activities of a town development company! Vol.33
We held an outdoor event at the end of summer.
On Sunday, August 27th, we held an event for bench building, chainsaw art, and edamame harvesting!
Mr. Arai, a member of the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team, used a chainsaw to cut a large log to make a bench using the Sakhalin fir felled during the Shingetsu Fell and Leaf Garbage Tour.
During the chainsaw art tour, Mr. Kinoshita, who participated as a guest lecturer, proceeded with the production and created a rabbit art piece.
The children made yellow flower decorations and it was a very cute atmosphere.
The children who participated watched the work with great interest.
When harvesting edamame beans, we harvested them with the branches still attached, and everyone worked together to remove the edamame beans.
We prepared the soil with plenty of nutrients before sowing, and the beans grew into big, plump beans.
I boiled and ate freshly harvested edamame on the spot and was impressed by the sweetness of the freshly harvested tea beans.
After enjoying the sweetness of edamame, we planted cherries.
Seven seedlings that are cousins of the twin cherry trees inherited from Niseko High School. Everyone dug a hole and planted the tree, saying, ``I hope it grows big.''
Everyone looked serious while planting, and their smiles after planting were wonderful.
Our next event will be a fun fall outdoor event on Sunday, October 29th!
While roasting sweet potatoes over a bonfire, we will collect seeds from the edamame we have grown for next year.
We look forward to your participation in the future!

Hello!
The CIRs run an online English Conversation
Circle every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.
This was started during the coronavirus pandemic
and has even spread outside Niseko, with people
from Sapporo and Otaru often participating too!
We would like this space to be available for anyone
to join freely no matter their English skills, so we
keep the topic simple by asking what everyone has
done lately, and give the participants free reign to
talk about whatever they like. This event has been
a great success so far, not just for practicing
English, but to make connections with others, as
some participants have even met up in person! If
you'd like to join, sign up using the QR code!

Do not dispose of garbage by burning it!
Burning household garbage in drums, block enclosures, on the ground, etc. is called ``open burning,'' but open burning is prohibited by law.
Burning in the open produces a large amount of smoke and odor.
This smoke may contain harmful substances, which can harm the health of nearby residents and leave behind odors in laundry and rooms, deteriorating the living environment.
Additionally, sparks may fly in the wind and ignite surrounding plants, causing a fire.
Even if the amount of garbage to be burned is small or there are no people living nearby, burning garbage in the open is a crime, and violators are subject to up to 5 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to 10 million yen, or both. Never burn garbage in the open, as you may be fined.

Consumer affairs consultation memo
Please check carefully before signing a contract
``I signed a contract that was recommended to me by a business that visited me, but I want to cancel the contract because it's not what I expected. Is there anything I can do?'' is frequently received at our counter.
There are people who are busy and end up signing a contract without carefully checking the details, and there are people who sign a contract because it looks good after listening to the explanation, but when they carefully review the contract, they find that it's not what they expected. .
If you receive a surprise visit and end up signing a contract, there is a "cooling off" system that allows you to reconsider and cancel the contract.
However, this system can only be used if the consumer has entered into a contract with a business operator, and there is a restriction that the consumer must give notice of cancellation within a certain period of time from the date of the contract.
Just because there is a cooling off period doesn't mean it's okay to sign a contract.
Furthermore, please be aware that when a contract is signed in the name of a business for business purposes, such as ○○ farm or ○○ store, the contract is not between the consumer and the business, but between the businesses. Therefore, it is not possible to cancel using the cooling-off system.
Before signing a contract, be sure to thoroughly check the contract details, including not only the costs but also the terms and conditions for cancellation.
If you have signed a contract but want to cancel it, don't know what to do, or are involved in a problem, please contact the consultation center or the town hall as soon as possible.

school improvement
In recent years, it has been pointed out that schools are becoming inward-looking and black boxes, and there is a need for schools that are open to society.
In order to promote "Niseko Style Education", Niseko Town 's elementary, junior high and high schools and Kindergarten have launched a "Niseko Style Education" study group in 2023, and are divided into four subcommittees to carry out specific research activities. I decided to do this.
In addition, we will further promote the activities of the town community school in order to deepen cooperation and exchange with the local community. I would like to thank all the committee members.
It is important for each school to make efforts to inform the local community about its various educational activities.
To that end, we are planning to present the results of our efforts so far at a training session on November 15th, so please come and see it.

Central Warehouse Group News vol.25
the arrival of autumn
I'm about to tell you!
Hello! This is Matsuda, the director.
The annual large pumpkin has been installed! The central district and warehouses are now feeling an autumn atmosphere, as if it had been extremely hot until recently.
Right away, a new member has joined our facility!
My name is Saiki Saito, who is from Saitama Prefecture and joined the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team this summer.
He has been working hard since August, creating a cafe using the kitchen space of the Central Warehouse Group and thinking of various things to improve the Central Warehouse Group as a whole!
For the next three years, you will work on your own independence while working for the future of Niseko Town and the Central Warehouse Group.
In October, we will be holding a big event for the first time in several years, so we hope all the townspeople will come and join us!

Editor's Note
I've known about the existence of "Niseko Seikatsu no Ie" for some time, but I didn't know the details.
I would like to write a feature about the houses I live in someday, but first I participated in this year's spring bazaar as a volunteer for the first time.
At that time, I didn't know how to interact with the "young people," and when they came to the office with a thank you note from the bazaar, I was confused by the "young people" who kept calling my name, so I didn't know how to properly thank them. I couldn't tell you.
In writing this special feature, as I visited the homes of people living in the community several times, I gradually got used to interacting with "young people."
I truly realized that ``interaction is important.'' I hope that there will be more opportunities to interact with people with disabilities in more familiar environments. (too)
