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.

  • Officials seek to limit rental car speeds
  • Officials seek to limit rental car speeds Proposal would block vehicles from surpassing 90 km/h The provincial government wants to limit all island rental cars to a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Officials have added a clause to that effect to their proposed sixth revision of the Jeju Special Law, which is what gives the island its semi-autonomous status. Last year alone, 525 traffic accidents involving rentals occurred here. They resulted in 11 deaths and over 900 injuries. 제주 렌터카 속도 90㎞ 제한 추진 제주에서 운행되는 렌터카 속도를 시속 90㎞ 이하로 제한하는 방안이 추진됩니다. 제주도는 6단계 특별법 개정안 내용에 렌터카 차량의 최고 속도 제한장치설치를 의무화하는 방안을 포함했습니다. 렌터카 속도 제한장치를 설치함으로써 시속 90킬로미터 이상 운행할 수 없도록 하는 구상입니다. 한편 지난해 제주에서 발생한 렌터카 교통사고는 525건으로 11명이 숨지고 900명 이상이 다쳤습니다.

  • Province plans stone-quarrying operation
  • Province plans stone-quarrying operation Supplies of construction materials forecast to dwindle in coming years The provincial government wants to begin quarrying stone in order to prepare for a possible shortage of construction materials in the next two to three years. The province says it decided to make stone-quarrying a public operation in order to guarantee a stable supply of construction materials. The Jeju Province Development Corporation will lead the project. The selection of stone-quarrying sites and the granting of work permission will all be carried out as public development projects. The private sector will be given the opportunity to participate in the work. Experts say this is a response to rising demand for construction materials coupled with a cut in the currently permitted amount, which stands at 9.8 million tons in 2016, 5.5 million tons in 2017, and 400,000 tons in 2018. 골재채취 공영개발 추진…道개발공사 참여 앞으로 2-3년 후면 부족할 것으로 예상되는 골재가 공영개발방식으로 채취 됩니다. 제주특별자치도는 건설골재의 안정적인 공급을 위해 제주도개발공사를 통한 공영개발방식을 도입하기로 했습니다. 채취장 선정과 인허가 등 골재생산 전 과정을 공영개발로 추진하고 일정부분을 위탁생산함으로써 민간업체가 참여할 수 있는 기회도 열어놨습니다. 건설경기 활황으로 골재수요가 늘 것으로 예상되지만 실제 허가량은 올해 980만톤에서 내년 550만톤, 내후년은 40만톤으로 줄어들어 공영개발방식을 도입하게 됐다고 제주도는 설명하고 있습니다.

  • Environmental preservation fees considered
  • Environmental preservation fees considered Officials argue tourists should pay to keep Jeju beautiful Local officials are working on new plans to preserve the local environment. The provincial government and provincial council will form working groups of experts in various fields within the month. They will discuss charging visitors fees, and then using that revenue to help keep the environment clean. All arriving tourists would have to pay an environmental preservation fee. There would also be admission fees to Jeju’s World Natural Heritage sites, such as Hallasan National Park. Finally, visitors would have to make reservations to enjoy Seongsan Sunrise Peak and other internationally-protected areas. This proposal comes amid a surge in low-cost group tours that have led to environmental degradation and a rise in preservation costs by the province. 입도객 환경부담금· 입장료 현실화 '공론화' 입도객에 대한 환경부담금과 한라산국립공원에 대한 입장료를 징수하는 방안이 구체적으로 논의됩니다. 제주특별자치도와 제주도의회는 이달중에 각 분야의 전문가로 워킹그룹을 구성하고 세계유산 가치를 제대로 이해하고 즐길 수 있도록 새로운 관광시스템 도입을 위한 공론화작업을 진행합니다. 특히 입도객에 대한 환경부담금제를 도입하고 한라산국립공원 등 세계자연유산 지역에 대한 입장료 현실화 방안, 성산일출봉과 같은 국제보호지역에 대한 사전 예약제 도입을 주요 논제로 정해 운영합니다. 제주도와 의회는 저가 단체관광과 과밀한 관광객 탐방 등으로 인한 환경오염과 자연파괴, 환경보전비용의 증가로 이같은 방안을 추진하게 됐다고 밝히고 있습니다.

  • Governor proposes revisions to public sewage system bill
  • Governor proposes revisions to public sewage system bill Small rural homes will be exempt from hook-up requirement The provincial government will revise a controversial bill making it compulsory for all homes to be linked to the public sewage system. At a Friday meeting with public officials, Governor Won Heeryong stressed the need for the bill to be passed, but he also said that certain revisions would be made as requested by residents of rural eup and myeon districts. It is likely that the bill, once changed, will not apply to small homes in these areas. The installation of individual sewage disposal units will be permitted instead. The proposal for all homes to use the public sewage system was made as part of the local government’s revised bill on city planning. Residents in rural areas strongly oppose the idea. 읍면지역 하수도 의무 '소규모 주택' 예외 제주특별자치도가 반발 여론에 부딪힌 도시계획조례 일부개정안을 수정할 것으로 보입니다. 원희룡 지사는 어제 (17일) 관련부서 공무원들과 회의를 갖고 난개발 방지를 위한 도시계획 조례 개정안은 반드시 추진돼야 하지만 다만 읍면지역 주민들의 요구사항은 일정 부분 수용하겠다며 개정안 일부 수정의 뜻을 시사했습니다. 제주도는 이에따라 읍면지역 소규모 주택은 공공하수관 연결 의무화 규정을 적용받지 않고 개인오수처리 시설을 설치하면 건축을 허용하는 쪽으로 개정안을 수정할 계획입니다. 한편 도시계획 조례 개정안에는 읍면지역 공공하수도 연결을 의무화하도록 했지만 거센 반발 속에 이틀 전 공청회도 파행됐습니다.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. While the weather may be hot, some of this summer’s tentpole movies are maybe...not. Jump onboard as we take a look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, opening this week, and then the long, long-awaited sequel to a 1996 classic, opening next week. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016, Dave Green) The turtles confront the notorious Krang. The sequel to the 2014 movie, turtles Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael are all back to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O'Neil, Vern Fenwick, and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones. After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop and Rocksteady, to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang. There aren’t many who don’t know of the Turtles - their popularity a few decades ago was significant - but that doesn’t necessarily translate into success. In fact, while this second installment is a step above the original, it still lacks the wit and energy that made the original series so likeable. [Slug CG] Independance Day: Resurgence (2016, Roland Emmerich) 20 years after the first invasion, Earth is threatened again. It’s been 20 years, but it’s here, finally. Well, next week, really. Also, they’re here, and they’re ready to take a second hit at Earth. We always knew they were coming back. After Independance Day redefined the event movie genre way back in 1996, the next chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction. It’s too early to say how this one will go down, but with a few favourites returning from the original, there’s no reason to believe that this follow-up won’t be incredibly enjoyable. Mind you, the summer blockbuster has changed a lot in 20 years, so we’ll have to wait and see if Resurgence can offer audiences something worthwhile.

  • Jeju to expand high school transportation allowance program
  • Jeju to expand high school transportation allowance program 1,100 more students to become eligible in second semester The provincial government will expand its transportation allowance program for high school students in rural communities. Currently, only those students whose families are involved in farming and fishing may receive grants to cover transportation costs. From the second half of this year, funding will be extended to all high school students living in rural farming and fishing villages. That translates to an additional 1,100 students who will be eligible for the support, which ranges from 2,000 won to 5,600 won a day, depending on the distance from the student’s home to their school. 농어촌 고등학생 교통비 지원 확대 읍면지역에 사는 농어촌 고등학생에 대한 통학 교통비가 확대 지원됩니다. 제주특별자치도는 올 하반기부터 농어촌 고등학생에 대한 통학 교통비 지원 대상을 현행 농어촌 지역 고등학교에서 동지역 고등학교 재학생으로 확대합니다. 이렇게 되면 농어촌 고등학생 1천 100여명이 추가 혜택을 받게 됩니다. 교통비는 이동 거리에 따라 하루 2천 원에서 최대 5천 6백 원까지 차등 지원됩니다.
