Nice bright, sunny day here yesterday so I went out for a little drive with the intention of taking a few piccies. Hadn't got far when we wuz waylaid by a bunch of Brits, dragged into a wine garden and forced against our wishes to have a drink So, pics are all fairly local but this is how this end of Kef is looking.Catelios with it's usual winter covering of seaweed:
Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Mihalis Chrysohoidis, in charge of coordinating disaster relief efforts on earthquake-stricken Cephalonia, on Monday stressed that all processes to help the island must be like a "commando operation"."We are in a state of emergency," the minister stressed... management of the disaster would be based on the immediate needs and the fact that the tourism season was around the corner, so that the island's image and daily functioning must be restored. The meeting chiefly centred on efforts to repair damages on the island, where he emphasised that effort must be made to rapidly implement the relief measures announced for the island's inhabitants, avoiding red tape.
Alternate Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister Stavros Kalafatis on Monday announced that all fines collected for various building code violations from victims of the earthquakes on the islands of Cephalonia and nearby Ithaki will be directed to local municipality coffers and used to restore damage to public infrastructure and buildings and improve the environment.
A... Finance Ministry official noted that 10 million euros from the budget reserves and 60 million euros from the Public Investment Program have been used for the relief of earthquake stricken Cephalonia.

Authorities are putting in a big effort and are taking fast-track and effective measures to start the restoration of damages on buildings and infrastructure in the earthquake stricken area of Lixouri on the island of Cephalonia, the secretary general of the Coordination of the Government's Work Dimitris Vartzopoulos told ANA-MPA."I can see that life on the island's capital has come back to normal, while Lixouri and the surrounding area have suffered significant damage on infrastructure and houses," he said. Regarding damages on households' electric appliances and furniture, Vartzopoulos said: "This is what has been decided: those, whose house has been totally destroyed, will get an advance payment, based on the building's surface and the number of their family members, as soon as the first-level inspection report has been submitted. This will be paid along with the one-off 580-euro aid."He reiterated that "those, whose houses have been declared unsuitable to live-in, will not pay the electricity bills that will be sent to them." Moreover, Cephalonia citizens are exempted from tax obligations until April 30 and from property tax for 2014.
Seismology professor reassuring regarding new earthquake in CephaloniaSeismology Professor Akis Tselentis ruled out the possibility of another major earthquake occurring on Cephalonia island, in an interview he gave to ANA-MPA on Wednesday.Commenting on an earthquake of 4.5 magnitude on the Richter scale earlier in the day at Lixouri, one of the island's two main towns, Tselentis stressed that the main seismic activity is over: "The main phenomenon is over. From time to time we may have aftershocks that may be a little strong. Nevertheless, there is no way we will have a strong earthquake in the greater area of Paliki."
