Općina je, naime, u protekle četiri godine raspolagala s više od 90 milijuna kuna sredstava pa je tim značajnim sredstvima mogla pokrenuti realizaciju ne samo uobičajenih, već i značajnijih kapitalnih projekata koje bi upravo u predstojeće četiri godine trebalo privesti kraju. Zbog toga Kauzlarić procjenjuje da bi ostanak na vlasti još jedan mandat bio logičan slijed i najbolje rješenje za Općinu Fužine.<br /> <b>Kako osobno vidite protekli mandat kojeg ste proveli kao čelni čovjek Fužina? </b><br /> – Na mjesto načelnika Općine došao sam kao poduzetnik, odnosno čovjek koji je već petnaestak godina imao razvijen vlastiti posao, dakle financijski sam bio neovisan i jedini motiv odlaska na funkciju je bio izazov da pokušamo našu općinu »gurnuti« korak naprijed. Nakon četverogodišnjeg obavljanja ove odgovorne dužnosti moram reći da je posao načelnika iznimno specifičan i u njemu je potrebno ući u sve moguće struke te kontaktirati jako puno ljudi. Uspio sam za svog mandata upoznati mnogo ljudi, uspostavio brojne veze i sada je moja i komunikacija mojih suradnika s brojnim institucijama i tijelima bitnim za razvoj jedne lokalne samouprave puno brža i efikasnija. Stekli smo znanje nužno za obavljanje ovog posla i sada će biti puno lakše u Fužine dovoditi jake ulagače i jamčiti razvoj cijelom području. Upravo stoga moji suradnici i ja smatramo da je najbolje, čak i da nam je obaveza, da nastavimo taj započeti posao.<br /> <br /><b><i> </i></b><center><b><i>Vodovod – najjača investicija</i></b></center><br /><b>Pokrenuli ste nekoliko kapitalnih projekata, spomenite po vama najznačajnije.</b><br /> – Prvi od važnih projekata je vodovod prema Benkovcu. U protekle četiri godine Općina Fužine i Komunalac d.o.o. Delnice uložili su 8 milijuna kuna u taj projekt, a ukupna je investicija vrijedna 12,5 milijuna kuna. Napravljen je već značajan dio poslova oko izgradnje vodovodne infrastrukture, a ono što nas očekuje je izgradnja vodospremišta. Bude li sve išlo po planu, nadamo se da bi u jesen 2010. ili na proljeće 2011. godine, Benkovac napokon dobio vodu. Bitno je reći i to da je s Gradom Bakrom postignut dogovor o tome da se s područja Benkovca vodovod produži prema Zlobinu, koji za sada ima jako loše riješeno pitanje vodoopskrbe. U projekt se uključuje i Grad Bakar, što će zasigurno ubrzati investiciju.<br /> Drugi veliki projekt čija realizacija traje već neko vrijeme je izgradnja zaobilaznice Fužine. Tu, na žalost, nismo na terenu puno uspjeli napraviti iz jednostavnog razloga što nekolicina vlasnika nije ni pod najboljim mogućim uvjetima željela prodati svoje zemljište pa smo morali ići na proces izvlaštenja koji je pri kraju. Nadam se, ipak, da će i taj projekt biti dovršen do 2011. godine.<br /> <b>Što je s Adrenalinskim centrom Vrata? Da li je od svega zaista ostala samo maketa na ulazu u općinske prostorije?</b><br /> – Ne. Odradili smo jako obiman posao vezan uz rješavanje imovinsko-pravnih odnosa, kupili smo devet hektara zemljišta, izrađen je idejni projekt buduće adrenalinske staze, a prihvaćanjem novog Prostornog plana stvorili smo uvjete za dolazak potencijalnih ulagača koji već pokazuju interes i vjerujem da će se vrlo brzo ostvariti ona ideja o dolasku na snijeg s ljetnim gumama. Po idejnom projektu na tom je mjestu, uz adrenalinsku stazu, predviđeno jedno manje skijalište, sanjkalište i niz atraktivnih sadržaja za mlade i stare. Da sve skupa ima smisla vidi se i po tome što je upravo, nakon početnih aktivnosti vezanih uz uređenje tog prostora, bitno narasla cijena nekretnina u Vratima. Izgradnja adrenalinske staza koštat će oko 850.000 eura, a vrijednost cijelog projekta je oko 4 milijuna eura.<br /> <br /><b><i> </i></b><center><b><i>S autoceste na skijalište Jelenča</i></b></center><br /><b>Posljednjih je dana aktualna i priča o Ski zoni Jelenča. O čemu je tu riječ?</b><br /> <table celpadding="0" width="250" align="right" border="1" bordercolor="#e6e6fa" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td class="okvir"> <b>VJETROPARK SAMO UZ JAKA EKOLOŠKA PRAVILA</b><br /> <br /> <b>Novi projekt je i vjetropark na Zvirjaku i Kobiljaku. I tu je već bilo negativnih reakcija javnosti?</b><br /> – Te su reakcije politikantstvo i nemaju veze sa strukom jer si tvrtka Prodomo d.o.o koja je dio ugledne međunarodne grupacije RES koja se bavi proizvodnjom tzv. zelene energije, ne bi dozvolila bilo kakvu grešku i striktno postupa po hrvatskim zakonima vezanim uz zaštitu okoliša. Trenutačno se na Zvirjaku postavlja stup za mjerenje vjetra. Nakon šestomjesečnog praćenja krenut će se u prvo projektiranje pri čemu treba reći da nikakve štete neće biti jer šuma koja tu raste, baš zbog jakog vjetra, ne prelazi visinu od 4-5 metara. Goleme količine sječe o kojima se priča neće biti, prije bilo kakvih radova ići će se u izradu Studija zaštite okoliša i Detaljnog urbanističkog plan pa je sigurno da se u sve skupa neće ići ako ne budu poštivana sva ekološka pravila.<br /> <br /><b>PROŠIRENJE SPORTSKE DVORANE</b> <br /> <br /> Nešto svakako treba učiniti i sa školskom sportskom dvoranom. Naime, ona udovoljava potrebama školskog bavljenja sportom, ali je za nekoliko metara kraća i uža od zadovoljavanja potreba za korištenjem za dvoranske sportove. Upravo stoga, napravili smo projekt proširenja te dvorane za nekoliko metara. Smatramo da je to bolje i povoljnije no ići u izgradnju novog objekta vrijednog 12-13 milijuna kuna, ne samo zbog novca, nego zbog toga što, barem za sada, u Fužinama nema potrebe za dvjema dvoranama pa je bolje rekonstruirati staru nego graditi novu.</td></tr></tbody></table> – Najprije bih podsjetio da je Skijalište Jelenča u prostornim planovima Općine Fužine još od 2005. godine kao zimski sportski centar. Dakle, nismo mi ništa sada izmislili, već samo težimo realizaciji već postojeće ideje. Namjera nam je na tom području stvoriti sve infrastrukturne i prostorno-planske uvjete za izgradnju i uređenje jednog većeg sportsko-turističkog kompleksa kroz rad kojeg bismo ostvarivali suradnju s Gradom Bakrom jer bi dio žičara išao s primorske strane prema Jelenči. Na tom području zamišljena su veća skijališta i sanjkališta zimi te adrenalinski sadržaji, šetnice i biciklističke staze ljeti, a dio prostora predviđen je i za izgradnju hotela. Ukupna dužina staza, a sve će biti smještene na sjevernoj strani gdje snijeg jako dugo ostaje, bit će čak oko deset kilometara, pri čemu je bitno reći da blizina jezera puno znači jer osigurava stalnu mogućnost umjetnoga zasnježenja. Vrijednost investicije kreće se u desecima milijuna eura. Kreće se u izradu Detaljnog plana uređenja, podignuta je i dozvola za izgradnju većeg odmorišta na autocesti Rijeka – Zagreb, a to će odmorište ujedno biti i parkiralište za ovu sportsko-turističku zonu. Po trenutačnim informacijama već ove jeseni očekujem početak građevinskih zahvata na tom prostoru, a sljedeće godine i funkcioniranje dijela ponude.<br /> <br /><b><i> </i></b><center><b><i>Rješavanje Sindikalnog odmarališta</i></b></center><br /><b>Što je s daljnjim ulaganjima u turizam?</b><br /> – Nekoliko je novosti na tom području. Sredinom svibnja trebao bi krenuti turistički vlakić, ovog puta ne iznajmljen, već kupljen. Vezat ćemo njime sve turističke lokalitete naše općine i ponuditi posjetiteljima mogućnost jednog novog obilaska naših ljepota, primjerice turu »Tri jezera«, posjet Svetištu Majke Božje u Liču i slično. Najveći dio sredstava za kupnju tog vlaka dala nam je Primorsko-goranska županija, a budući da ćemo mi njime upravljati, vjerujem da će ekonomski biti isplativ i da ćemo na njemu zarađivati novac ne samo za plaću onih koji će o njemu brinuti, već i za daljnja ulaganja. Nadalje, iako smo ostali bez HEP-ove komunalne naknade za jezera, nastavit ćemo uređivati šetnicu uz Bajer. Do sada mi smo uložili oko 3 milijuna kuna, a u idućem nam je razdoblju plan izgradnja atraktivnog mosta koji bi bio smješten malo ispred vijadukta, gledano sa strane ulaska u Fužine. Taj će most omogućiti prelazak korita Ličanke i nastavak šetnje drugom stranom Bajera, a vizualno će biti izuzetno atraktivan. Napokon, pri kraju smo sudskog spora s najmoprimcem Sindikalnog odmarališta, objekta koji je svojedobno nosio turizam Fužina. Nakon višegodišnjeg spora sada se sukob bliži kraju i mi ćemo već ove godine početi preuređivati taj objekt i vrlo brzo ga, budući da smo vlasnici, ponuditi ili na kupnju, ili na iznajmljivanje te time dodatno obogatiti smještajnu i turističku ponudu samih Fužina.<br /> <br /><b><i> </i></b><center><b><i>Od hotela do neurokirurškog centra</i></b></center><br /><b>Zanimljivo je da investitori zapažen interes pokazuju za područje naselja Vrata?</b><br /> – Da, to treba svakako istaknuti. Poslije gradnje pansiona Vrata, podnesen je i zahtjev za izdavanjem građevinske dozvole za manji hotel koji bi bio građen nedaleko od sadašnje samoposluge. Riječ je o investitoru iz Opatije, a hotel bi trebao imati 16 soba. Nove vlasnike dobio je i kompleks od 16 hektara zemljišta na lokaciji iza pruge, gdje je u planu uređenje prostora za zdravstveni turizam. Uređeno je i potpuno opremljeno infrastrukturom nogometno igralište u Vratima, a planira se još jedno te sportski tereni na području sadašnjeg naselja »Viadukta«. Vjerujemo da će to itekako biti zanimljivo brojnim klubovima, čak i našim prvoligašima, a ako svemu dodamo i Adrenalinski centar Vrata, mislim da je jasno kako će Vrata u bliskoj budućnosti biti jedno od najznačajnijih područja razvoja turizma u Općini Fužine.<br /> <b>Što je sa samim Fužinama. Ima li tu najava novih radova?</b><br /> – Uz nastavak radova na komunalnoj infrastrukturi, u planu je i izgradnja vrtića i jaslica, pri čemu ćemo pomoć tražiti od Županije i države, ponajprije stoga jer još od gradnje školske sportske dvorane u Fužinama 1985. godine, na tom području nije bilo investicija. Samostalni vrtić i jaslice bio bi smješten kraj sadašnjeg košarkaškog igrališta, dakle praktično u samom središtu mjesta. Također, iznimno zanimljiv projekt dogodit će se u staroj Premerovoj zgradi, koju u suvremeni neurokirurški centar namjerava pretvoriti jedan vrlo kvalitetan investitor. Tu je riječ o značajnoj investiciji od 3,5 do 4 milijuna eura koja će ne samo donijeti dvadesetak radnih mjesta medicinskog osoblja, već će Fužinama dati jedan novi značaj, zaključio je Marinko Kauzlarić.</span></td></tr></tbody></table>Ghosthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06947632288346231995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196358506502555815.post-48712977732580178462007-09-29T18:35:00.000+02:002008-11-13T22:13:11.717+01:00Skydiving video<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74zhNxgFkTQ"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cjNIqhktJbU/Rv6KbqPEVmI/AAAAAAAAAjA/ZfgjfQE2jko/s400/400+Way+Skydiving+World+Record.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115678434538051170" border="0" /></a> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74zhNxgFkTQ">400 Way Skydiving World Record - Official Video</a><o:p></o:p></span><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" > - 06, Thailand, World Team Breaks The Skydiving World Record, Now at 400.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that the rese</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">rve parachute be inspected and repacked every 120 days (whether it's used or not) by an F</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">AA-certified parachute rigger. In the event of a malfunction, the jumper jettisons the main parachute by pulling the c</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">utaway handle. A second handle activates the reserve parachute.</span></p> <p class="subhead2"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Other Equipment:</span><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 36pt; margin-left: 36pt;"><span class="subhead2ltblue"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Automatic Activation Device (AAD)</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cjNIqhktJbU/Rv1BAKPEUqI/AAAAAAAAAbg/UjJ5jMpCvso/s1600-h/skydiving-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 102px; height: 50px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cjNIqhktJbU/Rv1BAKPEUqI/AAAAAAAAAbg/UjJ5jMpCvso/s200/skydiving-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115316222766109346" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="body1">An AAD is a self-contained device that calculates rate of descent and altitude and deplo</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="body1">ys either th</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="body1">e ma</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="body1">in or reserve canopy at a preset altitude.

In 1797 he jumped from a balloon over Paris using a parachute and kept on making o</span><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cjNIqhktJbU/Rv07saPEUoI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/ORf3eocjFhw/s1600-h/skydive.52.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 160px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cjNIqhktJbU/Rv07saPEUoI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/ORf3eocjFhw/s200/skydive.52.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115310385905554050" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">ther jumps in France and also in England. </span><p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> Until 1903, when the Wright Brothers made the first aircraft flight, there were no parachute design developments. But along with the increasing industry of aviations, parachutes began to develop as well. In World War I , that is between 1914 and 1918, the military began using parachutes in their missions. They were a fast escape for balloon-borne observers, who drew enemy fire at their positions. </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> Barnstormers, who were in fact aerial showmen, fired the imagination of aviators and skydivers after World War I. The barnstormers showed airborne performances and parachute jumps and travelled every year throughout the United States. Competitions began as a result of the increase of parachuting awareness. The first contest of accuracy landing was held in 1930 in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> The military used paratroopers in World War II , that is between 1939 and 1945. The paratroopers were parachute-equipped soldiers and had the most famous use on D-Day, the invasion of Normandy (Normandie), France, on June 6, 1944. The allied paratroopers secured areas to make it easier for other soldiers to come ashore from boats, after landing behind enemy lines before sunrise. </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> The surplus of nylon parachute equipment after World War II and the fact that the U.S. Army had started the first military sport parachuting clubs, set the grounds of skydiving in the United Dtates, as a pleasant and relaxing activity. The same thing happened in many other countries, and thus , the first parachuting world championships were organized in 1951 in Yugoslavia. </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> Little by little, in the mid 1960, systems specially made for sport parachutes took the place of the military surplus systems. Parachutists started to call this activity skydiving and calling themselves skydivers. In order to improve the opening characteristics and to make them more maneuverable, there were a few sport modifications to military parachutes. A French Canadian kite builder, Domina Jalbert, developed in 1964 the the ram-air design, that has set the tendencies for parachutes in skydiving from then on. </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> </p> <p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"> Sport skydivers constantly tested new and revolutionary designs and materials. Apart from sport uses , there have also been designed sport-generated designs like military HAHO (high altitude, high opening) designs, smoke jumping designs and many types of equipment for two-person and four-person tandem jumping. The military HAHO designs allowed soldiers to silently fly over large areas. The smoke jumping designs aimed to put firefighters into remote forest fires from low altitude. </p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Skydiving has kept on becoming more and more popular after the late 1980s, and this is because the equipment, that is reliable, lightweight, and easy-to-operate, picture this sport as accesible to many people. The U.S. president George H. W. Bush also jumped , thus increasing the popularity of skydiving.</span> </p>Ghosthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06947632288346231995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196358506502555815.post-22002762516429789582007-09-28T18:14:00.000+02:002008-11-13T22:13:19.069+01:00Hang gliding video<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J3BT-NxV6c"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
