Island Investigations on Club Drugs Last month, a drug trafficking and distribution network involved in selling drugs such as Ecstasy and Ketamine in karaoke bars and foreigner-exclusive clubs in South (경상) Gyeongsang Province was apprehended by the Coast Guard. Amidst a series of drug crimes occurring in clubs and bars nationwide, a similar drug offender has been arrested in Jeju as well. A man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, who was formerly affiliated with a club, has been arrested last month on suspicion of possessing dozens of Ecstasy pills and consuming them. Jeju District Prosecutor's Office has indicted Mr. A on charges of drug possession and consumption, and they have also announced that they are conducting supplementary investigations into individuals who were involved in drug consumption with him. Ecstasy, a new type of drug, is known as a "club drug" as it is primarily consumed by young people. It has a hallucinogenic effect that is three times stronger than that of methamphetamine. INTERVIEW Jo Gwang-won / Jeju Office, Korean Society of Drug Abuse Ecstasy is known to produce hallucinogenic effects that can induce a significant elevation in mood. It is indeed a drug that is commonly used by young people. The Jeju Provincial Police Agency has stated that this case is unrelated to clubs, and it is difficult to disclose specific details regarding the case, including the specific charges, as the investigation is still ongoing. According to the Korea Customs Service, the amount of newly identified drugs seized last year was 260 kg, which is more than a tenfold increase compared to two years ago. Among them, the quantity of Ecstasy seizures increased by seven times during the same period. With the recent arrest of an Ecstasy drug offender in Jeju, there is growing interest in whether the crimes are linked to related industries, as seen in nationwide cases, rather than being isolated incidents of individual crimes. The investigation results regarding any potential spread of crime to associated sectors have garnered significant attention. 제주에도 클럽 마약?…경찰 수사 확대 지난 달 경남에 있는 노래주점과 외국인 전용 클럽 등에서 엑스터시와 케타민 등 마약류를 판매한 판매책과 유통 조직이 해경에 검거됐습니다. 전국적으로 클럽이나 술집에서 마약 범죄가 잇따르는 가운데 제주에서도 유사 마약 사범이 검거됐습니다. 모 클럽 관계자였던 30대 A 씨가 지난 달 엑스터시 수십 정을 소지하고 투약한 혐의로 구속됐습니다. 제주지검은 A 씨를 마약류 소지와 투약 혐의로 구속 기소했고 함께 투약한 이들에 대해서도 보완 수사를 진행하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 엑스터시는 필로폰보다 환각 작용이 3배나 큰 신종 마약류로 젊은 층이 주로 투약하면서 일명 클럽용 마약으로도 알려졌습니다. <인터뷰 : 고광언/ 한국마약범죄학회 제주지회장> 엑스터시를 투약하면 환각작용을 일으켜서 기분이 아주 상승되는 효과를 누리는 마약으로 알려지고 있습니다. 젊은 사람들이 많이 이용하는 마약으로 보면 되겠습니다. 제주경찰청은 이번 사건은 클럽과는 무관하다면서도 구체적인 혐의점 등은 수사가 진행 중이여서 밝히기 어렵다고 전했습니다. 지난해 관세청이 적발한 신종 마약류는 260kg으로 2년 전보다 10배 이상 급증했습니다. 이 가운데 엑스터시 적발 물량은 같은 기간 7배나 늘었습니다. 제주에서도 엑스터시 마약 사범이 검거된 가운데 개인의 단순 범죄가 아닌 전국 사례처럼 연관 업종으로 범죄가 퍼졌을지 수사 결과에 관심이 모아지고 있습니다.

  • Government aids farms facing drought
  • Government aids farms facing drought Support begins with western regions In response to the early stages of a drought that Jeju is currently experiencing, the province has started to provide much-needed water to rural areas. Beginning early last week, Jeju provided emergency water supplies to farms in the western regions of the island, including Hallim (한림), Aewol (애월) and Hangyeong (한경). Officials say if the drought worsens, more water will be supplied to the hardest-hit areas. The provincial government will also collaborate with producer organizations and the fire department to ensure that the water is distributed efficiently. 초기 가뭄 현상, 급수지원 대책 마련 제주시가 초기 가뭄현상이 이어지고 있는 가운데 농작물 피해 예방을 위한 급수대책을 마련합니다. 제주시는 우선 지난 2일부터 한림과 애월, 한경 등 서부지역 수원지를 중심으로 양수기와 물빽 등 급수시설을 설치해 운영에 들어갔습니다. 특히 가뭄이 지속될 경우 농업용 공공 관정을 전면 개방하는 등 급수지원 지역을 점차 확대해 나갈 계획입니다. 이와함께 생산자단체와 소방서 등 유관기관과 협업을 통해 급수대책을 마련할 방침입니다.

  • Jeju water deemed ‘potable’
  • Jeju water deemed ‘potable’ Samples met all 11 quality standards Local water has been confirmed "potable" by the Jeju Provincial Water Resources Department. This was confirmed after testing a number of sites around the island in the first half of 2016. Officials collected samples from 17 water purification plants and 69 village water supply facilities, which then met all 11 quality standards for drinkability. Researchers found either very low levels or no substances harmful to human health, including viruses, E. coli bacteria, lead and mercury. In June of this year, Jeju’s underground water became the first in the nation to receive re-certification as drinkable by the Korea Water and Wastewater Works Association. 정수장·가정용 상수도 먹는 물 적합 도내 정수장과 가정용 상수도 수질이 먹는물 기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났습니다. 수자원본부에 따르면 올 상반기 도내 17개 정수장과 69군데 마을상수도를 대상으로 한 수시검사에서 모두 먹는물 기준치에 적합했습니다. 세부 검사 결과는 일반세균과 총대장균, 납, 수은 등 건강상 유해물질 11개가 검출되지 않거나 기준치 이하로 나타났습니다. 제주 지하수는 지난 6월에도 상하수도협회로부터 전국 최초로 지하수 재인증을 받기도 했습니다.

  • Hydropower project gets green light
  • Hydropower project gets green light Aquafarm wastewater to be used to generate power Wastewater from aquafarms across Jeju may soon be used to power small hydropower plants. The province says it recently approved the private use of public water sources for this project. Three small hydropower plants will be built with a capacity to produce enough power for 150 households. Hopes are high for the eventual commercialization of the project. 양식장 배출수 이용 소수력발전 추진 육상양식장의 배출수를 이용해 소수력발전 사업이 추진됩니다. 제주특별자치도는 최근 소수력 발전설비 설치를 위한 공유수면 점용과 사용허가를 승인했다고 밝혔습니다. 소수력 발전은 남원읍 태흥2리의 육상양식업체를 비롯한 3군데의 배수관로에 3기의 발전 설비를 설치해 연간 150가구에서 사용할 수 있는 전력을 생산하게 됩니다. 바다에 버려지는 배출수를 활용해 전력을 생산한다는 점에서 상용화 여부에 관심이 모아지고 있습니다.

  • Heat wave endanger aquafarms
  • Heat wave endanger aquafarms Fish immunity levels drop The continuing heat wave across the island begins to affect aquafarms. Many are fearing the possibility of mass die-offs of fish. The province is urging all aquafarms to take precautionary measures,including regulating the temperature of their tanks. Officials proposed adding relatively cooler underground or fresh water to the aquafarm tanks to reduce the temperature to below 27 degrees Celsius. Fish immunity levels are known to drop significantly above that threshold, which could lead to a mass die-off. The province is also urging aquafarmers to clean out their tanks at least once every two days, as seaweed and kelp can start to decay in overly-warm waters. This would endanger abalone and sea cucumbers which feed off the seaplants. 폭염에 수온상승...양식어류 피해 우려 올 여름 계속된 폭염으로 수온이 상승하면서 양식어류에 피해가 우려되고 있습니다. 제주특별자치도는 해수온도가 27도를 넘으면 양식 어류의 면역력이 떨어져 감염병에 의해 대량폐사로 이어질 수 있는 만큼 사전에 미리 대비할 것을 당부하고 있습니다. 특히 수온 관리를 위해 지하해수 또는 담수를 혼합해 적정온도를 유지할 것을 강조하고 있습니다. 또 미역이나 다시마 등 해조류가 높은 수온에 부패될 경우 전복이나 홍해삼이 폐사할 수 있기 때문에 하루나 이틀에 한번씩 사육수조를 깨끗히 관리해 줄 것을 당부하고 있습니다.

  • Travel agency liable for MERS cancellations
  • Travel agency liable for MERS cancellations Jeju District Court rules \262m to be paid to hotel The Jeju District Court has ruled in favor of a hotel that sued a local travel agency for failure to pay for rooms it reserved but then cancelled due to the MERS outbreak last year. District Court Judge Seo Hyeon-seok (서현석) ruled that the travel agency that serves Chinese travellers, needed to pay the hotel 262 million won for outstanding debts and damages. The ruling acknowledged that the MERS outbreak had resulted in a large drop in Chinese tourists to Jeju, but it was not reasonable to relinquish the travel agency’s liabilities. The company in question had agreed to pay the hotel for 60 rooms regardless of whether or not the rooms were used. However, the travel agency said that it could only pay for the rooms that were actually used by its clients. And in response, the hotel sued for damages. "메르스로 中관광객 안왔어도 객실료 지불해야" 제주지방법원 제2민사부 서현석 부장판사는 A 호텔이 중국 전담여행사인 B여행사를 상대로 제기한 객실사용료 청구소송에서 2억 6천200만 원을 지급하라며 원고 승소 판결했습니다. 법원은 지난해 메르스 사태로 중국인 관광객이 급감한 사실은 인정되지만 여행사가 호텔측에 대해 채무 자체를 이행하지 못하는 상태가 된 것은 아니라며 판결 이유를 설명했습니다. 한편 해당 호텔은 이 여행사와 60개 객실에 대해 사용여부와 관계없이 비용을 지불하기로 계약했지만 실제 사용한 객실에 한해서만 요금을 내겠다고 통보하자 소송을 제기했습니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. Get ready to take a dark trip down a dark street this week. And that applies to both of our movies, despite their drastically different target audiences. Suicide Squad, in theatres now, is a known quantity at this point: dark and maniacal. The children’s classic from author Roald Dahl, The BFG, on the other hand, is anything but, despite a dark figure reaching from a dark street into a dark room. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Suicide Squad (2016, David Ayer) A government group hires supervillains for black ops missions. Suicide Squad has been long-awaited - the movie that is supposed to bring the DC universe up to the level of Marvel and signal a refreshing start that was missed with Batman vs. Superman earlier this year. The plot? Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself? So is this the revitalization fans have been waiting for? Not quite.The consensus is that while the movie has a good idea and good intentions, there are too many new characters to introduce before the story really starts. DC has started a building without a foundation, something that Marvel avoided. [Slug CG] The BFG (2016, Steven Spielberg) A girl named Sophie encounters the Big Friendly Giant Shifting gears to family-friendly fare now, The BFG opens next week in theatres. Roald Dahl’s stories have been significant for many children for many years. So does The BFG hold up to the book? In The BFG, a young girl named Sophie, the Queen of England, and a benevolent giant known as the BFG set out on an adventure to capture the evil, man-eating giants who have been invading the human world. The movie more or less succeeds. While it minimizes the darker elements of Roald Dahl's classic in favour of a more good-natured tale, the heart and soul, the child-like wonder, is still all here. Visually stunning, this is a family-friendly adventure that children can enjoy with their parents, who would do well to take a moment to remember what it is to see the world through the eyes of a child.
