		The partial reprieve that lets Colon’ teenagers play is better than a total disqualification, but the rule that had to be waived was about the organization of youth leagues in the province.

		For most of the year the Province is quiet and uneventful, but as Carnival time gets closer the people and the atmosphere of Los Santos begin to slowly heat up and this was why I wanted to visit Los Santos right before Carnival.

	PRESENTATION BY THE MINISTER OF TOURISM OF PANAMA, RUBEN BLADES
		Our purpose on the national level is to create an opportunity for entry into the tourism industry that will allow the provinces, towns, and rural communities that have been marginalized in the economy to have a chance to become involved in its results, as active participants and, in turn, as parties responsible for its success..
		When centers generating employment in our provinces and reservations appear, supported by economic efforts managed at the local level, this can effectively start the administrative decentralization process presented and defended by our President, Martin Torrijos, and which was one of his campaign promises.
		We are planning meetings with all the governors of the Provinces, with all the mayors of each municipality and with their town councils to begin conversations to gain their participation and cooperation in carrying out a National Plan for Tourism.

		Although it has the port of Colon, canal installations, three US military bases, the ZLC, and the country's only oil refinery, the province also has a 40% unemployment rate and the highest crime rate in the country.
		Colon Mayor Alcibiades Gonzalez said that the strike was decided by a general assembly of the coalition "to defend us as a people against the government's [economic] measures." Aside from tax relief for the ZLC, the strike leaders demanded the application of a 1994 law that would give the entire province free-port status.
		The president promised no action on the Colon province demands but said that the new tax would be rescinded sometime in August during the special session of the legislature.
