SEPTEMBER 2021 VOL. 47 ISSUE 9

Greeting from the
Executive Director

The time is approaching for us to start (gradually) reopening the JCCC for our members, community and friends! We
are putting the final touches on a plan that will allow us toopen our doors and give tours of the new MARU: IMMIGRATION STORIES permanent exhibition in the Moriyama Nikkei
Heritage Centre and the BROKEN PROMISES installation in
the JCCC Gallery. Initially dates and hours will be limited andyou will need to pre-book your visit. As we move forward
and hopefully avoid a 4th wave, you can expect more eventsand classes to open over the course of the autumn. At thesame time we’ll continue to provide cultural and community
offerings online and through outreach. Issei Day, for example, will follow last year’s model with bento being delivered.
The JCCC recognizes that all visits to the Centre are optional and that everyone who comes to the JCCC expects
that we will provide as safe an environment as possible. To
that end, we have struck the Reopening Task Force to develop a reopening approach that takes every precaution toensure you are safe when you come to the JCCC and we'll
be asking you to help us by participating with us in taking
precautions and observing the safety protocols. The newcommittee is made up of board and staff members who will
focus on tracking the very changeable status of the pandemic
and the directives issued by the city and the province. The
team will create and implement a “reopening road map” thatis consistent with the JCCC's long standing commitment tobeing a safe and welcoming environment for all. We will ofcourse be reopening in a manner that ensures the safest
Covid-aware environment possible.
We are almost there. Expect more news very soon and,in the meantime, stay well. We look forward to seeing youat the JCCC very soon.

SPECIAL MESSAGE

Message from the President

理事長からの近況報告

COVID continues to present unique challenges to everyone and I hope that you
and your families are coping and doing well.
The public health responsibility that we all share to protect one another is the core
issue that the JCCC is concerned most about. I am sharing with you the key principles
that have guided our decision making to date and any future plans to reopen the JCCC.
 . The JCCC has a duty to create a safe working environment for all staff, volunteer
1
instructors, volunteers and guests
2. The JCCC is committed to going above and beyond public health guidelines forhealth and safety to reassure all participants, members and guests of the safetyof our building.
3. The JCCC pays special attention to our most vulnerable populations and will notknowingly put them in harm's way. Our overwhelming policy bias is to protect the
fully vaccinated and those that are not eligible for vaccination over the unvaccinatedduring this time where a COVID virus is still present in our society.
The JCCC is preparing a reopening plan and I apologize in advance if some of ourguidelines to a safe re-opening present any inconvenience to individuals. The great
majority of Canadians are fully vaccinated and it is to those individuals and the young
children that our plans must focus on. I can only encourage everyone else to get theirvaccination and follow all public health guidelines for the safety of yourself and your family and friends.
コロナ禍でこれまでに経験したことがない苦境が続いていますが、皆様、お元気でお過ごしでいらっしゃいますか？
お互いを守るという公衆衛生の責任はJCCCが最も配慮すべき点であると考えています。JCCCが、再開の日程と今後の計画を進めるにあたり、指針としいている３つの原則をお伝えいたします。
1. JCCCはスタッフ、
インストラクター（ボランティア）、
ボランティア、来館者の皆様、全てにとって安全な環境を作ることを努めとする。
2. JCCCは館内におけるイベント等の参加者、会員の皆様、来館者に安心していただけるよう、保健所が出す健康と安全の公衆衛生ガイドラインを上回るべく専心する。
3. JCCCは社会的弱者に危害が及ぶことのないよう細心の注意を払う。
JCCCの方針は、
新型コロナウィルスが社会に現存する中、ワクチン接種（２回）完了者、及びワクチン摂取の年齢に達しない人を非接種者から守るものである。
現在JCCCは安全な再開計画の準備中ですが、このガイドラインに支障がある方がいらっしゃれば先にお詫び申し上げます。大多数のカナダ人はワクチン接種を完了しており、JCCCの計画はワクチン接種者、及び子供達に焦点を合わせています。私に今できることは、
ご自身、
ご家族、
ご友人の安全のために、未摂取の方に、ワクチンを接種し公衆衛生ガイドライン全てを守ることを奨励することです。

Steve Oikawa - Recipient of theOrder of the Rising Sun, 2021
On August 4, 2021, Steve Oikawa was awarded the Order of the
Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays in a small, outdoor ceremony hosted
by the Consul- General of Japan, Sasayama Takuya. The honour was
bestowed in recognition of Oikawa's contributions to the Japanese

The JCCC would like to extend our congratulations to Steve on thisprestigious award.

Radio Taiso Review
ラジオ体操クラスを終えて

Our latest 55+ program saw a nearly full enrollment of participants for 5 weeks of Radio Taiso classes. Each week, thisdedicated group, including a small group of residents from the
Momiji, met with our instructor Nao. In addition to teaching
2 -3 steps of Radio Taiso each week, Nao also helped all theparticipants with general stretching and warmup. Her instructions not only included safe practices, but also the benefitsof each movement. Building on each week, by the fifth class,everyone was able to do the entire routine.
On our final day, we invited Ikebata Day Care to join in and
we all did this popular exercise routine together.
We would like to thank all of our dedicated participants, Nao
for her enthusiastic leadership and NJCC for their guidanceand support.

Summer Contractors Wrap Up
It is that bittersweet time of year again, when we have to say goodbye to our summer contractors. Bitter because wewill miss them and all of the digitization that they do for us, and sweet because we hope that they will have gained somevaluable field experience as they continue with their education. As always, we are grateful to the support of the Young
Canada Works, Canada Summer Jobs and Documentary Heritage Communities Program for their financial support.

AlexiaThis summer I had the pleasure of working with Theressa
and Su Yen on various Heritage projects at the JCCC. Starting from transcribing oral history interviews to accessioning
and digitizing textual records, I learned a great deal about
the skills and knowledge of archival work. More importantly,
I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to know more
about Japanese Canadian history. Both Sedai interviews andMaryka Omatsu Collections really shed light on the experienceof Japanese Canadians and their tremendous commitment toprotecting their community. Also, conversations with Theressa and Su Yen about their own experiences of working with
the Japanese Canadian community was another highlight ofmy time at the Centre and will definitely stay with me as I
continue to explore my career paths in museum and cultural
heritage preservation.

Emma

As an anthropology student the importance of archival
work to me has always been connected with the archive as a
research tool. The community-oriented nature of the JCCC’s
archive and museum has transformed this understanding
completely. Over my time with the JCCC, hearing the stories of
the Japanese Canadian community, documenting the artifactsof these stories, and learning about the JCCC’s programmingand Heritage projects, I have come to see how much more
complex and significant the relationship between an archiveand a community can be. I am grateful for the knowledge
and experience gained from this position. Thank you to mysupervisors Theressa Takasaki and Su Yen Chong, as well as
the rest of the JCCC staff, for welcoming me and allowing me
the opportunity to work on such amazing initiatives as the
Sedai Project and the digitization of the Joy Sato Collection
during my time here.

Olympic follow up
The 2020 Olympic Games have concluded and Canada made an impressive showing with their highest total of medals
for a non-boycotted Games. While there were many highlights to the 19 days of competition, we wanted to highlight a
few things too.
Congratulations to Nathan Hirayama from Richmond, BC for being selected as the opening ceremonies flag bearer alongwith Miranda Ayim. Nathan has an impressive array of statistics as a member of the Canadian Rugby Sevens team and isa well-respected player. The Canadian Rugby Seven’s team finished 8th of 12 teams.
Congratulations to Nyl Yakura for his efforts alongside his partner, Jason Ho-Shue. With a field full of badminton talent,
they did not advance out of the pool play (only 8 of 16 teams advance to elimination play). However, Nyl embraced thewhole Olympic experience and you can check out his YouTube channel and Instagram profile for his humourous postingsof his Olympic experience.
Congratulations to the JCCC’s own Shady El Nahas. Shady fought valiantly through 5 matches during the 1 day ofcompetition for the -100kg category. Shady was heartbroken by his close loss in the bronze medal match.
We hope that these athletes, and all the athletes who participated in the Olympic Games, can look back on the experience with pride at their accomplishments in their sport and to having achieved the status of an Olympian. You can still
check out all kinds of Olympic highlights, interviews and videos, including full preliminary rounds that may not have beenbroadcast, at Home - CBC Tokyo 2020.

健やかな老後をめざして その43 - 若年性アルツハイマー型認知症：二人で いっぽ いっぽ ③
マーナ豊澤英子（ 医学博士 老年看護スペシャリスト

mernagh@rogers.com ）アルツハイマー型認知症とは、脳にたんぱく質でできた老廃物が溜まって、神経細胞が傷つき死滅するために脳が委縮していき、記憶障害などの症状が生じて日常生
活に支障をきたす状態のことです。65歳未満で発症すると「若年性アルツハイマー型認知症」と診断されます。
その41と42で紹介した足立昭一さんは、2006年9月（57歳）に若年性アルツハイ
マー型認知症と診断され、2007年に実名を公表。家族や友人、医療専門スタッフ、地域の連携（介護ケア施設）、認知症の人と家族の会のサポートによって、夫婦二人三脚で積極的に諸活動に挑戦。2011年3月、世界認知症協会主催のトロント国際会議にて唯一の当事者として発表！2011年11月、地域福祉の模範となる業績に敬意を表す「大分合同新聞福祉賞」を受賞しました。
最近では、適切な薬物治療と生活環境、
生活習慣の改善、個人に寄り添ったサポートなどにより、認知症と診断されても緩やかに機能低下していくことを望める様になりました。
それでも15年という時間の流れに容赦はありません。
常に傍で支え、共に挑戦し続けている妻の由美子さんにインタビューを行い、その42では「認知症と診断されて以降の治療面、サポート体制、現在の暮らしぶりや社会的活動など」
についてお尋ねしました。

由美子さん、
その42と43を通して様々な経験を伝えて下さって有難うございました！今後は昭一さんのみでなく、高齢になった両親の健康面のサポートも増加することが予想されます。親とどのように暮らすかに関しては、日本と当地では文化や環境などの違いがあります。
とは言っても、親と子が互いを想う心情に違いはありません...。
「家族に認知症の人がいたとしても、一人ひとりがなるべく笑顔で幸せに過ごすためには、日頃からの意思疎通が大事であること」
を、由美子さん家族に教えていただきました。
人々の健康寿命が延びていることは喜ばしいことです。
しかし、それによって認知症発症リスクの増大、老介護や経済的困窮など新たな課題も現実となっています。私の友人は、一家の大黒柱として彼女の父親や子どもたちと暮らしています。
ところが、80代半ばになった父親に痴呆症状が見られるようになりました。彼はほとんど英語を話すことができません。

アサービス、あるいは民間サービスを利用することは可能ですが、ケア施設を体験する度に言語の壁がどうしても彼を不安にさせていました。

本号では、妻としての想いや人々に伝えたい事を語っていただきます。
流方法を色々と工夫し、元々ウイットに富んだ彼の性格をうまく引き出してくれていました。
一緒にランチを体験してみたのですが、つい二人で顔を見合わせ「食事だけは和食がいいなあ」とぼやいてしまいました（笑）
。
どこででも自分
1. 今日この頃、昭一さんの妻として感じることや想っていることを教えてください。 て毎日となる食事だけは本当に悩み
昭一さんが52歳、私が42歳の時に結婚したのですが、私は46歳の時に子宮体癌 の居る場所を楽しくする自信のある私でも、と診断されました。病名を告げられ、泣きながら昭一さんに連絡をすると、昭一さ の種であることを実感！
シニアになれば、認知症本人、あるいは介護者のいずれの立場にもなりえまんは冷静な口調で「大丈夫！！俺が治してやる。早く帰って来い」と言ったのでした。昭一さんのその言葉を聞いた時、私には何故か「私は助かる！」という安心感が す。
親戚、友人、地域の方々の経験に耳を傾け、自助、公助と共助の情報に少しず広がりました。
昭一さんが言った「大丈夫！」という言葉が、今、認知症のご本人と関 つでも関心を向けましょう！昭一・由美子さんの経験は、
例え国は異なってもそわる際にとても重要な言葉になっています。
「大丈夫ですよ。
私がいます。
安心してく れらが大切であることを伝えてくれています。
ださい」と声をかけて差し上げるだけで、ご本人の不安はどれだけ軽減されるでしょうか！私は今、昭一さんと同じ環境の中で共に生きることによって、多くの学びがあることに気づかされています。
２．
認知症の理解のために、人々にいちばん伝えたいことは何でしょうか？

今でも忘れません。
「若年性アルツハイマー型認知症です」と診断された日のことを。
「これからどのような人生を歩いていけばいいのか」「この病はどのようになってしまうのか」と、不安でたまりませんでした。
けれど、診断された本人の昭一さんは「仕事はどうなる」「働かせてもらえるのか」「俺はどんな仕事でもする」と、前に進むことしか考えていませんでした。
同時に私自身も、認知症という病名を隠そうとは思いませんでした。私たち二人は不安ながらも、すぐに動き始めました。昭一さんは「今の自分に見合った仕事」
を探しに。私は「認知症という病の正しい知識を知りたい」「同
じ病の人や家族と出会いたい」という気持ちで動いていくと、
まるで「縁」があったかのように、いろいろな人や場に繋がっていくことが出来ました。
診断されて15年の月日を振り返ってみて、認知症という病になったのは残念ではありますが、
決して不幸な月日ではありませんでした。
失うものも確かにありましたが、それ以上のものを得ることができたと思っています。
何よりも、
今の私は
「共に生
きる」
という意味を深く考えることができるようになりました。
そして、経験者として伝えたいことは「この病を隠さないこと。
当事者・家族・キーパーソンとなる人とよく話し合うこと。
孤立せずに同じ病気のご本人、家族、理解をしてくれる仲間との出会
いの場に出かけていき、思いを話せる仲間をもつこと」の大切さです。
最初の「いっぽ」をなるべく早く踏み出して欲しいのです。
必ずどこかに繋がっていきます。
認知症という病になっても、自分らしい人生を歩めることを願って！
