The fireball that turned the sky orange for four to five seconds was seen as far away as Puerto Plata, twnety file miles from the site of the blast. Read original at The Dominican Sun.

Update 12:00AM Wednesday - According to Dominican news and television outlet Teleantilles the count stands at six injured in a blast that leveled an LPG refueling station in Tamboril, between Moca, and Santiago shortly after 8:30 Tuersday evening. Among the injured was a television cameraman working for TeleAntilles sent to videotape images of the fire in progress. According to the latest reports, the incident at the "Ana Gas" station was caused by a leak in one of the hoses used for dispensing the fuel to customers. Five cars were reported to have been incinerated instantly, and five houses destroyed by the fire and later blast. Members of the Fire Departments in this area were reported to still be working at the scene, although video and photographs seem to indicate the blast and explosion of the second propane tank extinguised much of the blaze.

Spray paint on your property? Someone might be trying to steal your house!
Posted August 6 2010 6:00PM

Graffiti or an Impening Land Theft?
Innocent graffiti? Or, signs of an impending land theft?

Sosúa area home and property owners be alert. Yet another land scam may be in progress that could cost you your home or property.

On Thursday, August 5th, 2010, beginning around 9:00AM, a team of five to six workers with surveyors equipment spread out through the Caribbean Hills Estates area in El Choco between Sosua and Cabarete. Initially the group entered a property which has been properly scheduled for a deslinde on August 11th. The surveyors, when confronted by neighbors as to why they were inside the property taking measurements a week ahead of the legally posted time, could not name the owner of the property by name, refused to identify themselves or their company, would not show their authorization permit from the court for the measurements being performed, and claimed to be working for Sosua developer Ronald G. Blissett - who is not the legal owner of the property.

It was later discovered that this team also surveyed and painted registration points on numerous private properties throughout the area, even to the point of defacing some owner's rock walls with the spray paint markings that will now somehow have to be cleaned.

Blissett, manager of Trade Winds, Garden Condos and The Palms in Sosúa, owns many individual lots in the area but has so far not notified any of his neighbors of a deslinde in progress for the lots he owns as would be required by the new Property Registry Law (Law #108-05) that has been in effect since April 4, 2007. He could not be reached for comment to determine if the surveyors, performing work in clear violation of Dominican law, were in fact working on his behalf as they claimed.

Dominican law requires that all adjoining neighbors of each property be served papers notifying them of the proposed deslinde in advance so they can have their own surveyors on hand to observe to preserve their property rights. The deslinde law also requires a notice to be published in a newspaper of record and that signs be prominently posted on each lot being surveyed. The signs must include the number of the court ordered deslinde, and contact information for the property owner and licensed surveyor.

Once finished, the survey is submitted to the Regional Survey Office (a dependency of the Superior Land Court) for review. If approved, the Office provides the new parcel with a new cadastral designation and allows the procedure to continue to the second phase, where neighbors or any interested third party may object to the deslinde.

If you live in this area and find spray painted surveyors marks on your property - or an adjoining property - and you have not been served with papers of a deslinde in progress, contact your lawyer to file a legal objection in court. If you do not, you may find that someone else has filed a claim on your property which may allow them to sell it to a third party without your knowledge.

This has happened recently in Caribbean Hills Estates - costing the owner months worth of time and effort to recover their land - when it was "sold" by the original developer without regard to the fact that it did not belong to him.

Know your rights, and don't become the next victim. Your neighbors will thank you.

Destinations: River Rafting in Jarabacoa
Posted June 4 2010 4:00AM

Jarabacoa, on the Río Yaque del Norte, is well equipped to host adventure travelers. .

Jarabacoa - Situated along the Río Yaque del Norte, Jarabacoa is a pleasant town of 40,000 that’s well equipped to host adventure travelers. Like most Dominican villages, Jarabacoa is easy to navigate. The main road entering town is Avenida Independencia. (It’s one-way until you enter the town, and then becomes a two-way street.) The centers of activity in Jarabacoa are the main crossroads and around the parque central, where you will find restaurants, entertainment (there’s a popular pool hall) and a bank with a 24-hour ATM. On the busy corner to your right as you’re leaving town to the south is a convenience store where you can get good coffee, pastries, and fresh fruit, along with the local (Spanish-language) newspapers. The Shell gas station opposite the convenience store marks the start of the bumpy road to Constanza and the route to many of the area attractions and accommodations outside of town.
