SRDJ BELONGS TO US !

WARNING!!!

Dear reader!

On this place there was an article about problems Dubrovnik citizens have with their authorities who want to rise up the settlement bigger then Mokosica on a small plateau on the Srdj hill.

This article was removed today, close after midnight,  by one or more people who are terrorizing me for years and remove my posts, take out my mails, destroy my work, because they can do that.

They have stolen my poetry book I was writing for over 50 years, stolen 2 books in hand writing, diskette with my short stories...apart from jewels, golden items, clothes, shoes...

They block my internet lines, tap my telephone line, taking my letters from mail box, and do all possible to do me as more harm they can produce.

The medial blockage was imposed three years ago, last four months it was strongly empowered.

I truly see not what drives them and what joy makes them to do so.

I kindly ask my neighbors story below to stop intruding in my computer and destroying my work, because in the wide scale of their terror this is the smallest thing done to me but I can only wish it is the last one.

My mail box shrinked to 2/3 of former size.

If you want to send me any e mail, or call me I will not get any message so please use FACEBOOK to leave me any message, otherwise others I will not get.

Thank you for your understanding, Tatijana Malacko

SRDJ BELONGS TO US !




Dubrovnik citizens are collecting signatures for referendum against devastation of Srdj hill, above Dubrovnik, that investors wants to turn in so called golf park, framed by the over 200 villas of the rich enough who can buy a summer house there over viewing city and the see...

So, from the beginning wrong idea. Why? Because my selfish opinion is that there have to be park only, such the Marjan park hill, city Split has.

Only PARK! No golf holes, no artificial watering, no fertilizers, insecticides, no mineral oil from the caddies...

Why? Because the geological structure of the ground is a variety of dolomite, very porous, very fragile...That means that all the water used for watering terrains will go down and be brought to underground water basins, carrying all that water rinses out such as mineral oils, left by caddied, fertilizers used to improve grass growth, pesticides to remove nasty insecticides that would eat that nice grass as the salad. We must think about considerable home garbage, because humans pollute surrounding where ever they appear as if its some sort of lottery ...who pollute more in shorter time wins the prize...

We must think about the climate condition there. It says there are  almost no rain from end April to beg. October, the meaning said is that the lot of watering will be needed. But terrains are not the sole water user there. The numerous hotels during the touristic season spend almost all water that comes from underground river Ombla.

Go there and try to take shower after six pm. There is water still, yes, but  not as you used to have it...

So on whose account the arisen need for water will go after all?  Reduction of water in the middle of the touristic season, not good measure for the tourism. Leave the Dubrovnik citizens thirsty, bad for home people.
Not to watering terrains will turn grass into hay in no time, bad seeing...

Some think that there you may play golf all the year seasons, but what about 'bura', strong cold wind that turns trucks aside, certainly may carry golf ball in wrong direction...

Watching that hectic arguments in TV,  I have asked myself why on Earth, they insist to have that 'feast in the eye' golf terrains there, when Dubrovnik citizens said NO! Do they not count? Is their opinion so unimportant?!

After all the compromise agreement can be found.

We have Bjelolasica complex that is true, neglected without good reason why, but why the investors not try to do there. The terrains in the valley, no wind, mild climate in three seasons, in the winter ski place... True, no seeing sea, but nice to the top of the mountains, close to Rijeka and Kvarner islands full of tourists in the summer, full of water skiing and swimming maybe for the change would like to get to Bjelolasica at mild 25 degrees while coastal are have 35, to spent few days in the peace of mountains playing golf there...

Often rains there, watering will be not needed, that is for sure.
The hotels are already there, lot of needed is already done.

So, see,  there is always other solution, listen to the people and let them have the city they want to have.

Beside 'the minor' detail that Dubrovnik is listed by the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE list and therefore belongs to all of us, such intervention in its surrounding has to be stopped right away. 

Those terrains may go to the other place, and they truly have. Bjelolasica is PERFECT solution to the problem.
Just think about it!



UPDATE: 

The Dubrovnik  City Assembly session, July 30th the Assembly adopted the project 'Golf Park' .
By this, all efforts of Dubrovnik citizens turned into dust.

The city mayor Vlahusic called the referendum 'failed', although they got the needed majority.

We may discuss what park is going to be build on a small plateau of the Srdj hill, when the size of the settlement of over 200 villas, will take place of the surface bigger then Dubrovnik's suburb Mokosica.

The plateau is of limited surface, so where, after spreading this  over 200 villas, will be still space for the golf terraines?

The irritated citizens blocked main entrance to the Assembly, for they wanted to watch voting, but the guards did not let them to get into The Assembly building as the visitors, for the city mayor Mr. Vlahusic replied them that Dubrovnik TV transfers voting so they may watch it from their homes.
Being delayed for hour and half, the session took place, for the politicians used rare entrance. 

Something about that leaves bitter taste.

If we are of the democratic constitution, where, in democracy, the citizens are welcomed to be concerned about their city, to watch, see, ask, get the replies by authorities, why on Earth, city mayor banned the Dubrovnik citizens of watching voting?

If the Dubrovnik mayor was elected by the will of the citizens, whose will he has to implement, whose interest he had to represent?

There were also some unclear situation about land-lording over the terrains on the Srdj hill, the citizens found out that their terrains are of the city property?!? 

But still remains the fact that Dubrovnik has only one well of water supply and this is the under-ground river Ombla, that will be exhausted during the summer months being supplying water to hotels, cruisers and water for watering golf terrains.
The same terrains will be rinsing fertilizers, pesticides, motor oil, home waste and pollution into the river and the question is what after that...

The winds 'bura' and 'jugo'  may be that strong that they turn up side down the heavy trucks, the golf ball is far lighter than that, so on that days there will be no players on the plateau.

The space for new buildings in Dubrovnik is missing, and therefore is precious. This over 200 villas are only the betonizing Dubrovnik's surrounding nature...The investors may be satisfied getting the first class ground under the price of the sports facilities...

So, where is the next project the  'Golf Park'? Seeing the ambitions of the investors, maybe Matchu Pichu???

Resuming known facts, the  citizens who fought against it till the end, do not want that project and know why, and the rigidness of the authorities from the confronted side who used their power might to show the muscles, the pollution of the water basin to be,  the problem of the cruisers that are bringing only pollution to the sea, air and causes the vibration that, in due time may turn city walls into ruins such as Jericho was, for they simply can not stand vibrations caused by cruisers being built by the stones and not by the rubber, I must ask myself whose interest voted on the assembly session in Dubrovnik on July 30th?

PROTEST OF SLAVONSKI BROD CITIZENS AGAINST AIR POLLUTION



This article is comment on "Eko Kvarner's" dismissal request of the environmental minister Zmajlovic,
printed in Novi list, November 11th 2012.
 Published: November 12, 2012 at 18:25 

Unfortunately, the environment is polluted by man quickly, and passionately,  but slowly if at all possible, the pollution is cleansing. Conclusion that the problem is as old as Russian oil refinery in Bosanski Brod  is true, but we can not blame only the  Russian oil for it, or any other oil, because byproducts of refining, variations in percentages, they are all harm, not just benzene, many of them are carcinogenic! Aromatics have a long and evil, known history.  

The smoke is consisting of the condensed aromatic nuclei, nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds, unfortunately some as sulfur dioxide with moisture in the lungs give sulphurous acid, which is not only irritating, but also over the long term damaging lungs by corrosion. By the same pattern acts N02. Hydrogen sulfide is known to turn smell rotten eggs, but when used in large quantities deadens sense of smell, deceiving us that is not present but is in turn in a BIG, DEADLY AMOUNT! 

Otherwise, the hydrogen sulfide belongs to the same group as the poison cyanide, the infamous Zyklon B, which were used in the concentration camps in World War II to kill the concentration camp prisoners ... And when we're up to the concentration camps prisoners,  the parallels come to my mind, with published statistics that the concentration of hydrogen sulfide is not normal, but UNDERNEATH it! NICE! This is what the Nazi leaders of the camp could use as the defense at the Nuremberg Trials: the concentration of hydrogen cyanide was typically below lethal in average, only in the days of poisoning poor innocent victims, was far over it ... On average. Camp prisoners could not be poisoned, they must have died from some mysterious, yet undiscovered illness and literally every each one! Statistics is very nice for juggling, but we do not need it. 

The fact is that even at the beginning of 2000-es, Mrs Dorica Nikolc said that the fight for a clean environment is very nice, but since then nothing has been done really ... Well, now some will tell that it is not so: that: we set up monitoring stations showing us contamination, when they are in function...  

But is that the air made cleaner, water less problematic, food strictly controlled? No. I understand the minister in charge Mr. Zmajlovic, because since Mr. Kovacevic, our relevant ministers have managed to overlook a lot of pollutions ... 

So from where to start now? Disposal of waste? Sava purity of water  Zagreb and all downstream  from river Sava, citizens drink, and cellulose factory in Krsko enriches by the dioxin ... Krsko not only pollute  by nuke and their the radio nuclides ...Incineratery facility  "Puto" set on firefew years ago,  made us unwished gift of dioxin poisoning and only God knows what else, the analysis never done nor published ... JANAF recognizes over 300 ruptured pipelines, spilled oil is still in the soil, no one can, however, and  even one will, to remove it. There is no magician stick for it. Population is for some time provided by water in tankers, but these are permanent pollution ... 

Prime minister Milanovic is tangled in energy saving bulbs, but we always catch the last wagon train. Thanks to them, the energy saving bulbs, mercury falls with rain falling on the fields of wheat and other crops, not just tuna  fish is full of mercury .. Energy saving bulbs radiate almost like nuke Krsko, give a bad light, when spent they should be disposed in the special containers for hazardous waste because they  belongs there.  

Newborns are born with tumors, is ANYBODY wondered why???  

Why our citizens population of  Kvarner islands above average get cancer but living in "clean" air environment ...The refinery Urinje poisons... The question is not  Ms. Holy or Mr. Zmajlovic or XY ... The question is why do we ignore the existence of the problem. 
The question is why we do nothing.  

Because ecology is also not throwing trash, papers, cigarette butts in the streets. Ecology is not to run the dogs on the playgrounds, ecology is pick up what dogs leave behind ... A metal pet waste oils belongs into a special container and not into the ground polluting it and furthermore the water basins. 
We have neatly stored one problem after another. We do not need the minister but Jesus Christ to solve all the problems, because only he could have solve them all ... Until then both, the people in Slavonski Brod so as in Bosanski Brod ( divided by the river Sava only), while praying, adds one sentence more: "... God let us a strong wind blowing today ..."

UPDATE 1:

I have seen that this post is read by quite lots of people, but please do not understand it wrong. I DO NOT underrate the problems of Slavonski Brod citizens and my sympathy are with them. I wanted them to know that it do not only stinks, but it damages health of citizens for they truly do HAVE THEIR RIGHT TO BREATH THE CLEAN AIR! 
This what I wanted to tell, but it is not written explicitly enough is that there where the refineries are, the problems are almost the same: Urinje refinery does the same damages to the people and to the environment, Sisak refinery as well,  Slavonski Brod through out Bosanski Brod, the same! The problem is that the refineries are built up in the cities and no one then, when decision was made about building them up, realized what torture this will be to the settlers...

But it should have been considered!!!

Just by the chance I lived in Caprag, down town of Sisak for several years in my childhood. I know what does it mean when you can not open the windows and how bad is when through out closed windows black clouds of pollution gets into your rooms: we were poisoned by the iron and steel factory Sisak where my father worked in...The tap water run yellow, had to be boiled...

And yes, there are the filters that could filtrate smokes from the refinery but due to the crude particles in the smokes, the filters will be blocked and useless in no time. They are expensive, but the health of the people is not cheap neither. The fact that the refinery belongs to the other state rises up the problem to the international level that only politics can solve:can and have to!

But the problem is that this situation is not only up to the good will of some one, the contradictory interests are impacting and make it far tougher than the chemistry complicates it.
So I truly wish them to solve the problem as soonest but, sorry,  I am afraid that it might not be so...


UPDATE 2:

January 19th 2013.

I see that this article is the most read on this blog, because of reason why the concerned citizens have no other source of infos that will satisfied their concern. And their concern has grounds!

There were comments then, when the other heating mean will be used, such as the gas instead of coal there will be no problem for the citizens of both Brod's. At my opinion, the pollution of air did not made only heating gasses released by natural process of burning, but mixture of burning gases and gases released by process of the refining of the oil. Most of the sulfur gases and some crude particles comes from processing just the Russian oil that is known of having the highest part of sulfur in it so already by drilling it, the problems occur because this sulfur blocks the pipes...
Both problems could be sold in no time by installing the filters that seeks additional investment, but the investment in medical treatment and the remedies costs the money too.

So please, be honest and tell the people openly why their health is on the rocks because they have right to know that! Health not only elderly people, but babies and children is imperiled too. That have to be our main concern and accelerator in our action towards achieving clean air.

Because they have right to have it!!!

There is sentence: Help yourself so Lord will help you too...

Therefore, please, citizens of both Brod, sign the petition requesting installing filters because it CAN be done and OUGHT to be done ASAP. Take care for this petition to be handled to the owners of the refinery, because they are obliged by law, or have to be, to provide the most safe process in refinery not only for the environment but for the refinery workers too... I wish you good luck... 

Remind the owners that the most precious you have, your health is damaged, day by day by the vapor and gases coming from refinery; the price of filters is not your concern, but the price of healing your damaged health is...

I wish to remind you that you can write your comments or put your question and I will reply to them by my best knowledge. Thank you for reading my blog, best luck in your action!



Update 3:

May 15th 2013:

Dear citizens of both Brods, Slavonski and Bosanski Brod, PLEASE do sign petition on installing the filters in refinery RIGHT AWAY, because the announced news in media for refinery goes in renewing and redoing the process if ever starts, will take times and the still days are coming and therefore there will be no wind to dilute released poisons in the air, so their presence in the air will reach the critical values many times from now on.

Please, also, keep in mind that the problem might be bigger than it looks like at the firs sight: all of that poison pollutants will get down to the ground sooner or later, polluting ground and all what grows on it, it says that the imperiled citizens are not only BREATHING IN polluted air, they EAT polluted crops and DRINK polluted water, because this is the natural circle of processes in nature.

They may do in refinery what they want but THE FILTER FIRST, P L E A S E!!!

The filters will not disturb the process of renewing, but can help imperiled citizens to breath the cleaner air.

So, the mayors of both cities sit down, and please work out your strategy to protect yours citizens lives, but what ever your conclusion comes out, first step done yesterday MUST BE FILTERS FIRST!!!

Because yours citizens have right to have clean air and environment, this is their basic right!
