Pingtung in the News 屏東的新聞 (South 南) 5


There are 29 townships, 3 municipalities and one city in Pingtung County.  It's exhausting to include news from every township, municipality and Pingtung City every time, so what I'll do instead is include news items from eleven different townships or municipalities in each entry.  This way I should be able to work my way through Pingtung County every three entries. 屏東縣包含了29個鄉, 3個鎮還有屏東市.  每次討論所有鄉鎮的新聞太累了, 所以我會每次討論11個鄉鎮的報告.  這樣子我每三篇新聞文章就會涵蓋到全縣內鄉鎮的新聞.

2b. Residents of Jiadong are unhappy with the stretch of Highway 1 near Fangliao.  This stretch of road, designed for the emergency landing and takeoff of fighter jets, is very dark at night, and there have been many traffic accidents there. 戰機飛後不理 ?  佳冬戰備道路燈未歸位 居民酸 : 超速就有燈亮 (1)


3. Fangliao Township 枋寮鄉

3a. Fish farmers around Beishrliao, south of central Fangliao, were concerned about large bags of waste which dumped in the area.  Nearby mango trees were wilting, and the fish farmers were worried that the bags contained heavy metals which would poison their fish stocks.  Local authorities looked into the matter, removed the waste, made some arrests, and later determined that the waste was not toxic. 枋寮養殖戶百袋廢棄物堆置案  檢驗未有重金屬毒性 (2)

7. Checheng Township 車城鄉

7a. Many residents of Checheng expressed dismay after property boundaries near Baoli were revised after recent surveys of that area.  Many property lines were based on surveys stretching back as far as the Japanese occupation, and some residents were effectively rezoned out of their own property.  Other parts of Pingtung will also undergo surveys, and property boundaries will also be reassesed in those areas. 不滿地籍重測 !  "我家變你家"  屏東車城湧地政所火氣大

1 They've been working on this issue.  I've seen people putting up new lights and rewiring things in the same area.  I went by there last Wednesday.

2. This kind of thing happens a lot in Pingtung.

3. Check out the video embedded in the article.  Guy was driving FAST.

4. Hadn't heard of this place until today.  I'll have to go check it out.

5. At the forefront of this controversy is who benefits from the planned development, locals or private companies.  I'm glad they're having this kind of discussion, and it gives me hope for the future.  Local governments allowing private companies to bully their way into tourist areas has been an alarming trend in recent years.  Just imagine if the Mainland Chinese tourists were still allowed to visit!

6. The roads through that area are a big problem.  As you enter the hot spring area from central Checheng, the road turns right into the main business area, and there is very little parking along that road.

7. I wouldn't be surprised if that picture in the article is the entire school.  That school is really far from everything.
