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.

  • Jeju’s aging population
  • Jeju’s aging population Over 30% of islanders will be at least 65 in 2040 Analysts say three out of every ten Jeju residents will be 65 or older in 2040. According to the Honam Regional Statistics Office, that age group composes 14.1 percent of the population now. The ratio is projected to hit 32.6 percent around 2040. 20.4 percent of heads of household are now elderly. That metric will hit 43.5 percent. Analysts say the aging population and falling birthrate means that in the year 2040 there will be 1.7 people of working age to support every senior citizen. There are now five. "2040년 도민 30% 65살 이상 고령" 2040년에는 제주도민 10명 가운데 3명이 65살 이상 고령일 것이라는 전망이 나왔습니다. 호남지방통계청은 도내 65살 이상 고령인구를 현재 14.1%에서 2040년쯤에는 32.6%로 증가할 것으로 전망했습니다. 고령자가 가구주인 세대도 현재 20.4%에서 2040년에 43.5%까지 늘어날 것으로 내다봤습니다. 고령자는 증가하는데 반해 출산율은 지속적으로 감소하면서 고령자 1명을 부양해야 할 생산가능 인구는 현재 5명에서 2040년 1.7명으로 줄어들 것으로 예측됐습니다.

  • New Citrus Variety: ‘Winter Prince’
  • Crossbred citrus varieties are usually harvested in January, but some growers send them to market early, which drives down prices. To resolve the situation, researchers developed a new crossbreed that matures earlier. Joseph Kim has more. Report Crossbred citrus varieties such as (레드향)Red hyang, (한라봉) Hallabong and (천혜향) Cheonhyehyang are loved by consumers. [slug] Unripe citrus hybrids push down market prices They are shipped to markets in January after the last of the season’s mandarin oranges have been released to the market. However, some farmers ship citrus hybrids to the market prematurely, before they ripen, which causes a drop in the market price. This happens every year. [slug] New ‘winter prince’ variety bred for earlier harvest To solve this problem, the Citrus Research Institute of the Rural Development Administration has developed early harvest citrus variety. It is named “Winter Prince” and crossbred of Harehime variety and (태전병감) Taejeonbyeonggam. [slug] Harvested late November to late December The new variety is harvested between late November and late December, one month earlier than other crossbred citrus. It has a rough peel, but is easy to peel off and its meat is juicy. Its sugar content exceeds 12 degrees brix. It’s at least 2 degrees higher than mandarin oranges. The new variety will be distributed to seedling shops beginning next year and planted on farms from 2019. INTERVIEW Park Seok-man / Researcher, Rural Development Administration Seedlings of the new variety can be distributed to farmers beginning in the winter of 2019. Mandarins usually hit the market in November and December, and these will also be timed for the early-winter citrus market. <인터뷰 : 박석만/농촌진흥청 농업연구사> "실질적으로 재배하는 농민들에게는 2019년 겨울철쯤 되면 농가들이 식재할 수 있을 거라고 생각됩니다. 현재 11월, 12월은 온주밀감 위주로 우리나라에 감귤이 유통되고 있는데요. 그 틈새시장을 뚫고 새로운 만감류 품종들이 그 시장에 진출하지 않을까…." [slug] Outdoor cultivation to be tested The Rural Development Administration is planning to test out-door cultivation of the new species, instead of in greenhouses. 22 citrus hybrids have been developed. But only 2 percent of them have been actually distributed to citrus growers. [Reporter] Joseph Kim [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon However, as superior species are developed and cultivation techniques are stabilized, more new crossbred citrus are expected to be distributed to farmers.

  • Landowners lose appeal in expropriation case
  • Landowners lose appeal in expropriation case Gwangju High Court rejects arguments regarding Jeju Shinhwa World Former landowners where Jeju Shinhwa World is now located have lost their court case against the government for its expropriation of their properties for the project. Seven former owners of land in Andeok-myeon had appealed a lower court’s ruling in favor of the provincial government and the land expropriation committee. The Gwangju High Court’s first administrative division dismissed the suit. In explaining its decision, the court said the expropriation for Jeju Shinhwa World may limit to some degree landowners’ accessibility and availability, but it also determined that that was not in conflict with the nature of an amusement park. 신화역사공원 토지수용 취소소송 항소 기각 제주신화역사공원 부지의 원 토지주들이 토지 강제수용에 반발해 제주도를 상대로 행정소송을 냈지만 항소심에서도 패소했습니다. 광주고등법원 제주제1행정부는 서귀포시 안덕면 토지주 7명이 제주도와 제주도 지방토지수용위원회를 상대로 낸 수용 재결 취소소송 항소심에서 원고의 청구를 기각했습니다. 법원은 신화역사공원이 도민에 대한 접근가능성과 이용가능성을 일부 제한할 수 있지만 유원지 본질을 훼손하지는 않는다며 기각 이류를 설명했습니다.

  • Local land selling for far less at auction
  • Local land selling for far less at auction Auction price ratio plummets 37 points The price at which local land is being auctioned off is much lower than its appraised price. According to GG Auction, the ratio of the winning bid to the appraised value fell to 60 percent last month. That’s 37 percentage points lower than where it was last year. It is also the first time the figure has hit 60 percent since February 2012. An auction price ratio of under 100 percent means successful bids are below the land’s appraised value. 제주지역 토지 낙찰가율 하락세 제주지역 토지 평균 낙찰가율이 크게 떨어졌습니다. 지지옥션에 따르면 지난달 제주도 법원경매 결과, 제주지역 토지 낙찰가율은 60%로 지난해 같은 기간의 97%에 비해 37%p 하락했습니다. 제주지역 토지 낙찰가율이 60%대로 떨어진 것은 지난 2012년 2월 이후 처음입니다. 낙찰가율은 감정가 대비 낙찰된 가격을 뜻하는 것으로 비율이 100%보다 낮으면 감정가보다 낮은 가격에 거래된 것을 말합니다

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. Report] Another week, more movies. That’s how the wheel turns. But this week, even more so than last, we find only smaller movies, and no big names releases, coming to theatres. Studios are waiting for Star Wars to drop, and giving it a wide berth. For, unless the unthinkable happens, and it tanks, it’s best to just wait it out. This week, we take a look at American Assassin and Slumber - one of which will keep you up at night. Care to guess which? [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] American Assassin (2017, Michael Cuesta) A man is drawn into the world of counter-terrorism. After the death of his girlfriend at the hands of terrorists, Mitch Rapp becomes a CIA black ops recruit under the instruction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley. The pair is then enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy to investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on both military and civilian targets. Together the three discover a pattern in the violence leading them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent to stop a mysterious operative intent on starting a World War in the Middle East. American Assassin comes at an interesting time for movies. Moviegoers are looking for complex characters at the cinema, whether they’re seeing a simple comedy or a psychological drama. So when an action movie comes along with a focus on espionage and counter-terrorism, we’d expect a little more. Unfortunately, that’s not what we end up with here; the characters aren’t given enough development to stand out from the crowd, and missed opportunities abound. It is possible, of course, that someone who has never seen a spy thriller might be impressed, but in a day and age when even superheroes have complex emotions, there just isn’t enough water to properly float this boat. [Slug CG] Slumber (2017, Jonathan Hopkins) A sleep doctor tries to protect a family from a sleep demon. Alice is a rational-minded sleep doctor, haunted by the mysterious nocturnal death of her younger brother. While performing a routine examination on a traumatized family with sleeping problems, Alice is attacked by the father in his sleep. But when he is thrown into jail and the problems get progressively worse, Alice is forced to abandon scientific rationale and accept that the family is being terrorized by a parasitic demon who feeds on the weak while they sleep: the Night Hag. Slumber lands squarely in B-level horror territory. The build-up is promising, although it relies a little too heavily on transparent jump scares. Later in the movie, when the dam finally breaks, things get a little too cheesy too quickly. Queue the campy horror movie tropes, for the last third of Slumber dives too deep into the rabbit hole to come back as a respectable horror movie. An interesting premise with predictable action means a middling entry, and one that’s maybe best left to a rainy night at home.

  • Streamlined benefit application process for new parents
  • Streamlined benefit application process for new parents Now available online The province is making it easier for new parents to apply for the government benefits they receive upon the birth of a child. The process can now be done online, rather than in person at a community service center. A mother or father may submit an integrated application for pregnancy and birth benefits after identifying themselves or their spouse with an official identity certificate on the government service website called “Government 24.” The support includes child care allowances, lower electricity fees for houses with children, so-called childbirth wages, childbirth support for disabled women, and lower gas fees for houses with multiple children. The provincial government has set it up to automatically process applications for its childbirth subsidy and its financial support for parents having their second child and beyond. 온라인으로 출산 관련 원스톱 지원 서비스 제주특별자치도가 읍면동 주민센터를 직접 방문하지 않아도 출산과 관련한 각종 혜택을 온라인으로 신청할 수 있는 '행복출산 원스톱서비스'를 시행합니다. 행복출산 원스톱서비스는 '정부 24'에서 출산자 또는 배우자가 공인인증서로 본인 확인 후 임신.출산 관련 서비스 통합처리 신청서를 작성하면 됩니다. 지원 서비스는 양육수당과 출산가구 전기료 절감, 해산급여, 여성장애인 출산비용 지원, 다자녀 도시가스 경감 등이며,특히 제주도 자체적으로 지원하는 출산장려금과 둘째 이후 양육수당 역시 자동 처리됩니다.
