And scams involving fake inheritances resurfacing, with police urging the public to stay alert.
Let's take a look at this week's top stories.

【1】Sports Coins Officially Launched
Expanding Public Participation in Sports
To make exercise a more natural part of everyday life, the former Youth Sports Voucher program has been upgraded to the new “Sports Coin” system.
Eligibility has been expanded to include people aged 16 and above.
The subsidies can now be used not only for participating in sports and watching competitions, but also for purchasing sportswear, shoes, and related equipment.
Authorities hope the more flexible design will encourage people to stay active, build long-term exercise habits, and inject new momentum into the sports industry-making health a part of daily life rather than an added burden.

【2】Seasonal Produce Offers the Best Nutritional Value in Autumn and Winter
Nutritionists remind the public that while many people know seasonal fruits and vegetables are better, this factor is often overlooked when shopping.
Choosing produce that is in season not only ensures freshness and higher nutritional density, but is also more affordable.
Fruits such as persimmons, oranges, and strawberries, along with vegetables like cabbage, spinach, and edible chrysanthemum greens, are all excellent choices for autumn and winter meals.
Eating with the seasons supports personal health and helps reduce environmental impact from food transportation.

【3】Tourism Administration Calls for Guide-Dog-Friendly Accommodations
To protect the travel and lodging rights of people with disabilities, the Tourism Administration is urging accommodation providers nationwide to create guide-dog-friendly environments.
Qualified guide dogs, hearing dogs, and mobility assistance dogs should be allowed to enter lodging spaces and public facilities in accordance with the law.
Clear guidelines have been provided, emphasizing key principles such as not feeding, not interfering, and not refusing service, while encouraging frontline staff to proactively ask about guests' needs.
The goal is to make friendliness toward assistance dogs a daily service standard rather than just a regulation.

【4】As Temperatures Drop, Taipower Reminds the Public to Use Electricity Safely
With colder weather, the use of heating pads, electric blankets, and space heaters has increased.
Taipower reminds the public that prolonged contact with warm objects can still cause low-temperature burns, and users should avoid placing them on the same area of the body for too long.
Space heaters should be kept at a safe distance from flammable items such as bedding and clothing, and multiple high-power appliances should not be used simultaneously.
Developing safe electricity habits helps ensure warmth and safety throughout the winter.

【5】Fake Inheritance Scams Resurface
Police Urge the Public to Stay Vigilant
The Criminal Investigation Bureau warns that scams using fake inheritance claims have resurfaced.
Scammers often use phrases such as “borrowing money to process transfers” or “advance payment followed by profit sharing” to deceive victims.
Police emphasize that legitimate inheritance procedures follow strict legal processes and never involve borrowing money from unrelated individuals.
If you encounter such claims, it is almost certainly a scam.
The public is urged to verify suspicious messages and call the 165 anti-fraud hotline to protect their life savings.
