Georgia Expresses 'Deep Concern' over Installation of Fences at S.Ossetia Administrative Border

The Georgian Foreign Ministry expressed its deep concern over the installation of wire fences by the Russian occupation forces across the Tskhinvali region's occupation line.

It said in a statement that erecting fences in the vicinity of the villages of Ditsi and Dvani, represents a blatant violation of the fundamental principles of international law, primarily of Georgia's territorial integrity and the inviolability of internationally recognized borders, as well as of the 12 August 2008 Ceasefire Agreement.

These illegal activities disregard and violate the right of free movement and other civil, social, economic and cultural rights of people residing in the occupied regions and in the adjacent areas. Such a provocative action causes all the more particular concern against the background of the grave security and human rights situation and the absence of international mechanisms in Georgia's occupied regions, the Foreign Ministrys statement reads.

The Foreign Ministry has called on Russia to stop the wire fence installation activities and to comply with the provisions of the 2008 Ceasefire Agreement and with its commitments under international law.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is determined to immediately inform the International Organizations and Georgia's foreign partners on the grave situation in Georgia's occupied regions so that they could take due action on the aforementioned illegal activities, the statement reads.

A senior Georgian Dream lawmaker, Tedo Japaridze, who chairs parliamentary committee for foreign affairs, has condemned installation of fences across the South Ossetian administrative boundary line and said in a statement on May 28 that these activities point at illegality persisting on the occupied territories, which may pose a serious threat to the stability in the region.

MP Japaridze has called on the international community to pay a special attention to the developments on the ground and to react on illegality reigning on the Georgian territories occupied by Russia. He has called on Russia to follow its commitments under the 2008 ceasefire agreements and to cease military occupation of the Georgian territories. MP Japaridze called on the Georgian Foreign Ministry to intensify efforts through Georgias diplomatic missions to provide information about the situation on the ground to the international community.

Meanwhile President Saakashvili said in a speech at the Georgian Defense Academy on May 28, that he was not blaming the government for ongoing installation of fences by the Russian troops across the South Ossetian administrate border. Some UNM lawmakers said on May 27 that current situation on the administrative border was a result of governments unilateral concessions vis--vis Russia.

Russia has its own plan which it sticks to regardless of what the Georgian government did last week, Saakashvili said. Of course it is not the governments fault, like it has not been anything our fault in previous years. We should know that it is Russias plan and we should know what we are doing [in response]. First and foremost we should not weaken our legal positions, not to soften law on occupation.

Last week in OutWest, we offered a list of 10 "bucket-list" rivers for folks to consider, great runs that offer a variety of experiences around the state.

Not surprisingly, I heard from readers outraged that their favorites weren't mentioned fans of Clear Creek, the Cache la Poudre, the Yampa worthy options, all. Hey, I had to pick 10. It was a tough choice.

I've been lucky enough over my 20 years in Colorado to have been on sections of those as well as the 10 on the bucket list, either on commercial trips or private runs in our own rafts. A few years ago, though, we bought packrafts, small, portable, inflatable boats, some of which are made in Mancos by Alpacka ( alpacka-raft.com). They're rugged and weigh less than 5 pounds, and now we have a new bucket list, partly driven by a desire to fly-fish less-accessible wilderness waters.

One such river is the Conejos, a tributary of the Rio Grande in the San Juan Mountains west of the San Luis Valley, a lovely stretch of which we ran a few weeks ago. It's mostly rated Class I-II with packrafts, however, it's a good idea to knock those up a notch and famous for its fishing. It starts with some hairy whitewater in Pinnacle Canyon and progresses for about 20 miles of navigating around rock gardens and strainers alternating with some mellow cruising past gorgeous national forest and a lot of private land.

Not to mention negotiating 10 gnarly wire fences (and one twine fence), some barbed, randomly erected across the river.

Fortunately, we'd been warned by several locals some of whom implied, some of whom said outright, that rafters are not very welcome in the area. Imagine rafting at a pretty good clip around a river bend to find neck-level barbed wire, hoping each time that you would see it fast enough not to be garroted by it and also to avoid popping the boat.

The latter scenario would mean facing a multimile hike hauling a 40-pound pack across the very property (likely owned by a cheery gun-wielder) who so didn't want you there in the first place that he erected a fence without even so much as a warning sign. Ostensibly to keep the cattle from moving around none of which we ever saw.

We did, however, spy a coyote loping past on his way to find breakfast while we ate ours one morning, and about 20 bird species, and while we never caught any fish, we glimpsed a few and spent some time trying. We also saw fewer than a dozen people fishing from the banks on our way down, but no other boaters clearly the landowners' intention.

Whether they're allowed to erect those fences to prohibit us from doing so, however, is such a matter of legal contention that you'd need a law degree to understand it. But if you care about this topic, it's worth visiting the website for the National Organization for Rivers ( nationalrivers.org), based in Colorado Springs, to give it a try (they have an entire book due out on the subject soon).

Federal law says that if a river historically has been used for things such as fur trading by canoe, it has to remain in use by the public. Several Colorado state courts have tried over the years to clarify this, but it seems to Eric Leaper, executive director for NORS, that they've done nothing but muddy the waters more.

Rebel Fitz off the mark over fences

Wednesday, May 29, 2013

Last years Galway Hurdle winner, Rebel Fitz, opened his account over fences, at the second attempt, when coasting to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms Beginners Chase in Ballinrobe last night.

By John Ryan

Rebel Fitz jumped superbly, as he had done on his fencing bow in Killarney, and, having tracked the leaders, made his move after the third last, quickly sweeping into a clear lead.

Trainer Winters was both relieved and delighted by the performance. Thats the job for good horses get them out there and racing. Its grand for everybody. Hed prefer better ground, but his bit of class got him through.

Hell go for a winners race in three or four weeks. And well see where we go from there. He might head back to Galway. (for the Plate).

Hunting Party, trained by Dessie Hughes and strongly handled from the second last by Mark Enright, got the better of the Patrick Mullins-ridden Perfect Gentleman by a head in the Irish Stallion Farms Hurdle.

The Davy Condon-ridden Muzak registered a popular local success for John Monroe in the Hollymount Nursing Home Handicap Chase, beating El Mondo and surviving a Steward Enquiry.

And the Aidan Howard-trained Hansupfordetroit made all to beat favourite Twin Plan in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase.

RCMP are investigating after workers at a private zoo in Alberta say pen fences were deliberately damaged this weekend, allowing a number of exotic animals to escape.

According to GuZoo Animal Farm staff members, more than 11 holes were cut in pen fences sometime between late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning. A number of animals, including yaks, buffalo, Barbados Blackbelly sheep, coyotes, ostriches and a sika deer escaped.

Staff members say the perimeter fence of the family-owned zoo was not damaged and workers were able to corral the animals and return them to their enclosures.

Staff members alleged that animal activists may have been responsible for destroying the animal pens. But RCMP officers said there is no concrete evidence suggesting activists were involved in the vandalism.

Established in 1990, GuZoo is the largest private licensed wildlife park in North America and has a collection of more than 400 animals, according to the zoos website.

"Guzoo offers the public fun and safe hands on interactive experience with many exotic animals," reads a description of the zoos history. Visitors can help bottle feed baby tigers as well as interact with other baby exotic animals.

Since the zoo's establishment, there have been a number of attempts to shut down the wildlife park.

The Council of Concerned Albertans for Animal Welfare and Public Safety describes the animal park as a "roadside zoo."

"Animals are kept in barren enclosures with little regard to their natural environment. Intelligent primates, big cats, wild canines and other animals are kept in enclosures too small to allow them to run or achieve a full range of motion and are denied environmental enrichment, making their lives boring and redundant," reads a statement on the organizations website.

A "Boycuott Guzoo" Facebook page that aims to help raise awareness has also been created. It has more than 1,000 "Likes."

Animals escape from Alberta zoo; staff say holes cut in fences

Georgia will send a note to Russia expressing concern over installation of fences by the Russian troops across the South Ossetian administrative boundary line, Georgian Foreign Minister, Maia Panjikidze, said on Monday.

We will issue a statement and a relevant note will also be sent to the Russian Federation via the Swiss embassy, Panjikidze told journalists, adding that she will raise the issue when she meets foreign diplomats later this week and the Georgian side will also raise the issue at the next round of Geneva talks planned for June 25-26.

There have been intensified fencing efforts recently by the Russian troops on the ground, installing wire fences across parts of the South Ossetian administrative border, which, the local villagers on the Georgian-controlled areas, say affects negatively on their daily life, hinders their free movement and agricultural activities.

It was reported earlier on May 27 that fencing activities in the vicinity of Ditsi, a village close to the administrative border, resulted into moving of the administrative line deeper into the Georgian-controlled areas with some locals telling journalists that the line was moved by few hundred meters and they will no longer be able to use the land beyond newly installed fences as pasture. Similar activities were also reported in April in another section of the administrative boundary line.

Earlier on May 27 Zurab Chkheidze, the governor of Shida Kartli region, where the village of Ditsi falls, called on the government to use all the available international levers against ongoing fencing activities, otherwise consequences will be grave in the villages adjacent to the administrative borders.

President Saakashvili raised the issue during an awarding ceremony of the Georgian solders in Tbilisi and said that ongoing fencing activities were yet another attempt to further move occupation line deeper into the Georgian-controlled areas; in this context he also briefly mentioned in negative context government-proposed legislative amendments to partially decriminalize and ease sanctions for violation of entry rules into breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

A group of lawmakers from President Saakashvilis UNM party visited the village on the same day. UNM MP Givi Targamadze, who was in the village, said fencing activities were a result of governments unilateral concessions vis--vis Russia. But some locals were criticizing visiting UNM lawmakers telling them that current developments were a result of the policies carried out by UNM while the latter was in power.

The Interior Ministry said in a statement on May 27 that installing fences by the Russian troops was completely illegal and that its representative would raise the issue during an upcoming Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism meeting in Ergneti on May 31.

The EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM) said it had been facilitating an exchange of information through telephone hotline about the installation of new fences in the vicinity of Ditsi.

As freedom of movement is one of EUMMs key priorities, a patrol has immediately been sent to the spot in order to verify and monitor developments on the ground. The issue is likely to be discussed at the next Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism meeting in Ergneti on 31 May, EUMM said.

Installation of Fences at S.Ossetia Administrative Border

Paterson, New Jersey (PRWEB) May 24, 2013

After many months of debate, the La Salle County Board eliminated all of its restrictions. The Illinois county had once required all swimming pools of four feet to be surrounded by a five foot fence. The county-wide regulations have been debated since December, and will affect rural swimming pools, though not municipal pools.

While the vote to lower the mandatory fence height by a foot was voted down 20-6, total elimination of pool fence requirements altogether were brought up for review and was approved by the board in a 21-5 vote. The primary reason for removal was to save money. Other reasoning included that La Salle is Illinoiss second largest county, and that makes it difficult to monitor. The rural residents also felt that they are well isolated and do not require fences to deter neighboring children.

Although certain areas of the country are starting to do away with pool fence laws, New Jersey still has strict codes. The height requirements may vary from town to town, but they are necessary statewide. As summer is fast approaching, now is the time that many people have swimming pools installed into their yards.

Challenger Fence Inc is a professional fence company that can install any type fences around your swimming pool. Their workers are skilled and experienced to know the best fence to fit any yards landscape. Most pool fences are aluminum which is perfect to go around a pool because they are rust proof.

A lot of people are going with vinyl fences, says company owner Alex Miloseski. They are easy to maintain and come in many designs. We offer many different styles and can install them around your pool at a reasonable price.

Another popular type of fence that is waterproof is PVC or vinyl. Challenger Fence stocks many types of vinyl fences, including the Eastern Fence. These come in various designs, such as the very popular Grand Illusion which resembles a wood fence.
