The local information paper “Yogami Reconstruction News”, in which the people in the Minato area of ​​Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, who have suffered a great deal of damage after the Great East Japan Earthquake, reported their progress in reconstruction for eight years will end in March next year. became.

The “News Reconstruction Newsletter” issued approximately 7000 copies, mainly in the Minori district of Natori City, was first published half a year after the earthquake, and was disseminated due to evacuation, etc. Are distributed once a month or two.

We have carefully collected the revival of the morning market at the port and the farewell party of the affected elementary school, received donations from local companies, etc., and distributed them to the residents free of charge. The 60th issue of March next year will be finished last.

The details of the completion were posted on the 58th issue of the issue issued on the 6th, "The reconstruction in terms of hardware has been almost completed. A new neighborhood association has started, and activities have begun. I came to the conclusion. "

Naomi Kakui (61), who is the editor-in-chief and is from the top, said, “As a milestone in recovery, I decided to end by looking at“ Machibira-ki ”in May. I think I've become more fond of it, and I think that many people have come to know Kamigami. Thanks to the readers, we were able to continue so far. "

Residents have a negative voice

“News from Hagigami Reconstruction” has become a source of farewell to family members and those who have experienced long evacuation.

Readers who have been looking forward to for many years have sought the efforts of those involved in the editing.

Mr. Akira Ito (67) who lives in the disaster public housing in the Kaminoue district has been looking forward to “news from the rehabilitation of Kamigami” since his temporary residence in a rental housing, and he still cherishes everything from the first issue to the latest issue. I keep it.

The article that most impressed me was an article soliciting donations for the rebuilding of “Minokami-jinja Shrine”, where Mr. Ito serves as president.

The shrine is still in the process of being reconstructed, but this article has collected more than 1 million yen.

Regarding the end of the “News from Kamigami Reconstruction”, Mr. Ito said, “The current state of reconstruction was written in detail and was the best source of information. It is not easy to continue for more than 8 years. I feel like I'm going to go down. "

Katsudon is also resurrected

There was also a time when the ties that were connected through the “News from Kamigami Reconstruction” were used for regional reconstruction.

At the first commercial facility “Kawamachi Terras”, which opened in May, the cutlet of the dining room “Momoya”, which was popular before the earthquake, was revived. It was an edge that was connected by “News from the Buddhist Reconstruction”.

The couple who managed “Momoya” died in the tsunami, and people from Kamigami and others worked on the revival of the menu, but the ingredients and recipes were unknown.

However, the survivor who lives in Utsunomiya City is a reader of “News from the Reconstruction of Kamigami”, knowing the efforts to revitalize the cutlet in the article, and offering cooperation to the editor-in-chief Mr. Kakui. I understand the material.

Mr. Mizuo Matsuno, president of the company that operates “Momoya,” said, “If there was no“ news from the reconstruction of Kamigami, ”there was no revival of Katsu.

It ’s lonely to finish, but I really want to say “I ’m tired”.
