Is Bali’s heritage rice kept hostage to outdated regulations? The recent Ubud Food Festival (UFF) hosted a number of ‘Food for Thought’ panel sessions and discussions around sustainable farming and the origins of the foods we consume. Of note was the strong message purveyed by the panellists that “consumers need to engage directly with farmers to safeguard sustainability and give farmers a better deal.” The three biggest challenges for farmers, according to the panellists, are access to the market, finance and knowledge. The growing movement towards sustainable agriculture and food production in Bali is gaining momentum. It is, however, still a very steep uphill road, especially in the case of rice farming, an underappreciated and underremunerated labour, and for most rice farmers a Spartan existence. The central question is thus: can rice farming be made profitable?

I Made Chakra, founder and president of Tri Hita Karana, an NGO devoted to sustainable agriculture and technology using permaculture principles, declares that financial support for Bali’s rice farmers is crucial if the practice is going to survive. Balinese rice culture, he explains, is based on agama, the religious practices that are indigenous to Bali and did not originate in India where Hinduism was not based on rice culture. As far back as the 8th century the Ashram system, describing and guiding an individual through the 4 stages of life, as practiced in Bali, was still the same as that in India. This gradually changed over time into a more community oriented system based on rice farming. In the 11th century, a Hindu priest named Mpu Kuturan came to Bali from Java with the intent to build a cordon of coastal Hindu temple-fortresses around the island like Uluwatu, Pura Sakenan, Goah Lawah,. He felt the threat of the advancing islamisation of Java and in response created the Tri Kahyangan Hindu system, encompassing the worshipping of the trinity of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. On the practical side, it was an agrarian community-banjar system that relied heavily on barter trade. This is the start of the establishment of the Balinese Hinduism we know today, a socio-economic-religious culture that pervades all aspects of Balinese life.

NC/BT/I-06 June 18

In 1487, the time of the Majapahit exodus to Bali, this work and legacy was continued by the sage Danghyang Niratha who continued to build more temples like Rambut Siwi in Jembrana to protect the island from Javanese invaders. The Tri Kahyangan system was built on rituals. It is in essence a water- religion culture using the subak system, a collaborative effort to ensure sufficient irrigation for all farmers in a given area. Rituals and ceremonies were created to remind people how and when to execute certain tasks or actions so they would not forget. It encompassed practices like seed selection, growing new rice seedlings in top areas closest to the incoming subak water, keeping the rice fields ‘pure’ by not putting compost as fertiliser or letting cows graze on fallow fields. The reasons and explanations for many of today’s surviving rituals and ceremonies are lost in the mists of time but the practice is still continued to the point where some of the obligatory rituals have become an increasing financial burden on the farmers. Cultivating a white rice crop is not a lucrative undertaking. Wholesale prices for the hybrid rice most widely cultivated in Bali, are low at IDR 6000 per kilo and the work is arduous and backbreaking. In addition, the cultivation of white rice requires expensive chemicals like fertiliser and weed control sprays. No wonder the younger generation increasingly opts out of continuing the family tradition. The consequences are nefast. The current generation of rice farmers are getting older and have to rely more and more on itinerant labourers. Consequently the rice fields are getting sold off when the older generation retires. Chakra insists there is another solution. Farmers can get a lot more income if they switch to the cultivation of heritage rice, i.e. the brown and red rice varieties that are grown from original nonmodified local seed widely used before the advent of the ‘green revolution’ when white rice culture became the norm. They also fetch more attractive prices on the wholesale

market at IDR 25000-30000 per kilo. A number of traditional rice varieties are already cultivated at different locations in Bali: primarily in Jatiluwih (red rice) and Gianyar. Although retail prices of heritage rice are higher than for white rice, the biggest problem with heritage rice is primarily a problem of marketing, of finding interested buyers for these rice crops abroad due to an old, ineffective government resolution which is still on the books and is effectively preventing the export of Bali’s heritage rice crops. The original resolution, proclaimed at the time of the Sukarno government, was the direct result of a big rat plague that decimated and destroyed the crops. It was intended to keep precious rice stocks in the country in order to feed the population rather than exporting a valuable commodity needed at home. The plague is long gone but the resolution has not been lifted and Bulog, the entity in charge of food distribution and price control, is still enforcing the old ban and most of the Bulog bureaucrats have long lost sight of the original intention. Red and brown rice varieties are in demand by consumers who appreciate the natural, chemical-free and sustainable nature and properties of these crops, and they are freely available in Bali. Heritage rice production is more than sufficient for the local market and is only held back from higher production and export by endemic bureaucratic obstinacy. In other areas Indonesia seeks to increase its exports to an ever demanding consumer base abroad. Bali heritage rice could be one of its proud exports. It’s high time the government understands this, lifts those old inadequate resolutions and takes down the obstacles to increased prosperity for Indonesian farmers.

“Just go with your gut!” It’s a statement that seems to resonate with many of us as we pay more and more attention to nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whether gut issues have become more prevalent as producers and growers do more than just dabble in genetically modified foods, our diets are dangerously rich in processed foods, sugars and trans fats or perhaps we are better educated and aware that we are indeed what we eat, the trend towards introducing natural probiotics into our daily diet is undeniably moving into top gear. Forget your green smoothie, fermented drinks like Kefir and Kombucha are now being bandied about on almost every Bali cafe menu and for good reason! An excellent source of probiotics - friendly bacteria that balances your digestive system and boasts a whole host of health benefits; Kefir and Kombucha are readily being consumed to help treat all kinds of conditions from allergies to eczema, constipation and candida, diarrhoea and bowel disease! Popular products to be sure, but one Bali cottage company is committed to producing these health drinks (and other tonics) using traditional methods and all local produce. Cupboard Creatures’ fascination with the fermentation process began with a relatively small yield of Kombucha primarily for personal use, but once word got around about how terrific it tasted, production has since been ramped up and they are now supplying to a number of Bali cafes and personal clients across the island. Little wonder when these fermented, live, enzyme rich drinks come in appealing flavours

If you are submitting information about a future event, please be sure to provide accurate details regarding time and place and include pictures where relevant.

the likes of Smashed Berry, Happy Hibiscus and Ginger & Lime! All natural, black tea based beverages, Cupboard Creatures Kombuchas have the fizz factor of soft drinks without the added sugar content. Sour yet sweet, they are the perfect pick-me-up for promoting intestinal flora and a healthy gut. Think apple cider meets champagne sans the headache! Adhering to a similar fermentation process, milk kefir is another natural anti-biotic that boosts immunity and energy as well as being a great belly fat burner! With a similar consistency to yoghurt, Cupboard Creatures creates this healthy breakfast alternative using either cow’s milk or coconut milk for those favouring animal free alternatives. An ancient elixir that has been around for over 2000 years, Kefir has high levels of calcium, phosphorous, vitamins

and minerals. As most of the lactose is eliminated during the fermentation process, it is easily digested and is great for the skin, with suggestions that Kefir can even assist in the treatment of rosacea, eczema and acne! A power pack of probiotics indeed! For years, locals have turned to traditional tonics to treat almost every infirmity on our island haven and if you ask any Ibu, chances are she’ll have a Jamu recipe to ease what ails you. With local ingredients in mind, Cupboard Creatures also produces their own Jamu remedy in the form of a revitalizing morning tonic designed to detox the body and heal the heart. Limes, tamarind, fresh turmeric, ginger, coconut oil, cinnamon, black pepper, honey and H2O are combined to create their Shot of Sunshine that packs a real punch in terms of antiinflammatory power and tastes a little like curry in a cup!

World Welterweight Title Well Worth The Wait Pacquiao and defended it again in December against UK fighter Danny Corcoran, defeating him with a TKO. Despite these wins Horn still heads into the clash against Crawford as the underdog. A veteran of over 30 fights, the American will make his Welterweight debut against Horn with a healthy tally of 32 wins (23 of those knockouts) against Horn’s 18 victories, yet it is Horn who holds the professional title - something he’s not about to give up without one hell of a fight!

An injury to Terence Crawford’s hand may have delayed this much anticipated clash between the American and Aussie underdog Jeff Horn, but the wait has certainly done nothing to dampen any enthusiasm in the battle for WBO World Welterweight supremacy. Originally gazetted for April 14th, Crawford’s injury has meant another month of preparation for Horn, yet despite his initial disappointment, the extra training might be just what’s required for the quiet Queenslander to knock the undefeated American off his winning streak! The June ﬁght means Horn will again be called upon to defend his World Welterweight title for the third time in 12 months. He ﬁrst claimed the title with a win over Filipino champion Manny

All of the action is scheduled to go down on Sunday June 10th (June 9th in the US) and you can catch every minute of it on over 30 television screens at Finns Recreation Club where they’ll be showing the telecast live from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas! Experience all of the energy and atmosphere of ringside seats from your bar stool as the excitement escalates and the heat starts to build in their air conditioned Sports Bar, or take a seat in Bistro C and keep your eye on the kids at play as the fight action gets underway from 11am. You won’t need to take your eyes off the fight for a moment with full bar and table service, cold beer, beverages and Bistro C’s all day menu available. Be sure to get in and secure your seat early because previous title telecasts at Finns Rec Club have proven extremely popular with a full house come fight day! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning, June 10th’s fight is set to be a fast and furious affair of twelve, three minute rounds in the absence of an earlier knockout. Both of these 30 year olds are out to set the record straight with the Queensland Hornet wanting to strengthen his hold over the Welterweight title and Crawford looking to retain his ranking

from the Boxing Writer’s Association of America as the world’s best active boxer - and of course, take home the belt! Even if the fight does finish early, remember it’s footy season and all AFL and NRL fixtures will also be telecast live so why not make a day of it and stay to watch the play.

8 Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson and Highland Bali

by Gerald Sullivan

In 1936 anthropologists Margaret Mead (1901-1978) and her husband, Gregory Bateson (1904-1979), moved to Bali and stayed for three years. Soon after their arrival, they retreated from the island’s lowlands, the focal point of scholarly and tourist activity, to the remote village of Bayung Gedé in Bali’s central highlands. Although they wrote relatively little about their work in this small community, which Mead called “our village, way up in the mountains, a lovely self-contained village,” they did leave behind a remarkably rich and extensive photographic record of their time there. At the time, Bayung Gede was as simple a village as they could find, allowing them to learn as much as possible about the underlying patterns of Balinese life without having to begin their studies in the more complicated and ceremoniously elaborate communities of southern Bali. Its inhabitants were upland agriculturalist, peasants who maintained their own distinctive customs. For example, unlike the Balinese of the lowlands, the villagers do not cremate their dead but bury them. Mead had over a series of field trips from the late 1920s through the late 1930s, become a student of the various ways in which different groups of people raise their children. Influenced by many notable scholars and scientists of her day, including John Dewey, Ruth Benedict and Erik Erikson, she postulated that just as the childrearing practices of various groups differed from one another, so too the resulting character of the adult members of those groups would also vary from one group to another. Mead set out to prove that the way a particular group of people – in this case, a primitive homogenous community on Bali – raised its children consistently yielded more or less a unique a specifiable and socially identifiable character. She sought to find the relationship between the habits and behavior of infants – suckling, sleeping, sphincter control, etc. – and the behavior of adults. For instance, Mead found that the Balinese male child was treated as a sexual object which resulted in emotional frustration that is perpetrated by their elders. In an effort to mold their behaviors, Balinese mothers habitually warn their children of dangers, chosen at random and without concern for relevance – “Fire!” “Snake!” “Feces!” “Scorpion!” “White Man!” “Tiger!” She also found evidence of mothers’ “emotional disassociation” towards their children. This emotional distance, Mead’s most famous and controversial observation, manifested itself in the way that Balinese “are physically active but affectively passive.” In her letters to colleagues, Mead contends that adult Balinese have no responsiveness at all to human beings. In fact, they are the least responsive people she had ever known, simply refusing to perceive of any intrusive fact by closing their eyes and saying, “I don’t understand.” She maintained that the purpose of this emotional non-responsiveness was “to keep the peace among the 800,000 people on this little island.” The main body of Gerald Sullivan’s book are 200 selected black & white photographs that Bateson took between 1936 and 1939, the vast majority never before published. In the substantial introductory essay, the author uses excerpts from Mead and Bateson’s field notes and correspondence to illuminate their ethnographic work. Tracing the project from its inception in their proposals to the publication of the anthropologists’ work, Sullivan shows how they used the photographs both as supplements to their written observations and as important elements in their theoretical arguments. Finally, Sullivan explores what the photographs revealindependently of Mead and Bateson’s project-about the Balinese character for the contemporary viewer. What is the most unusual and unconventional about Bateson’s work is the methodological and analytical importance that he gives photography in the study of anthropology. Using his photographs as notes in the place of illustrations, his aim was to make cinematographic records of “gestures, postures and movements expressive of emotion.” For the time, this was a remarkably prescient discussion. Bateson brought to the field both a Leica camera

for taking still photographs and a motion picture camera. Although his photos were not meant to be aesthetically pleasing, many are nevertheless quite beautiful. Having used substandard cinematographic equipment, his motion pictures are less so. A fact that is not generally known or acknowledged is that when Mead and Bateson were in Batavia in 1932, they hired I Made Kaler, a diligent young Balinese who spoke five languages, including “some 18,000 words in English, although he had never before met a native speaker of English.” He became their indispensable secretary, language teacher, fellow researcher and general aide-de-camp throughout the whole span of their on-site field research. He conducted his own interviews in Balinese, posing his own as well as specific questions suggested by the two anthropologists. Kaler’s own running field texts were to make up a substantial portion of the study’s field notes. The efforts of all three supplemented each other. Mead considered Kaler a “tireless perfect machine” and his ethnological work “better than most graduate students.” Many everyday objects - furniture, articles of clothing, architecture, offerings made to spirits and ceremonial accoutrements - are clearly and immediately identifiable in the Bali of today. I visited Bayung Gede several years ago, and I could even recognize the village’s layout with rows of houses on the slope of a hill and house yards enclosed by rickety fences. Dwellings pictured were more rudimentary than nowadays with shingle roofs. Only bamboo, mud bricks, grass and stone were used in construction. Every household implement was made of clay or woven material. Villagers appear dirt poor and scantily clad in ragged clothing in spite of the cool weather of the highlands. Mead under a floppy sunhat and Bateson’s unused movie camera and tripod can often be spotted in the corners of a number of photos. The images all together spontaneously capture the everyday lives of the men, women and children of Bayung Gedé, their homes and temples, the tending and raising of children, attitudes towards the human body, ways of learning, the experiences of boys and girls as they grow into adolescents and how they interact with their parents and other adults. Homebuilding and agricultural techniques, dance performances, life cycle and funerary ceremonies and many other fascinating details of village life not featured in Mead and Bateson’s publications are also amply illustrated. The photographs depict halfclothed natives with unabashed expressions in moments of intimacy, vanity, buffoonery, changing moods, all revealing the interpersonal behavior of upland Balinese. During the 12-year period that Bateson was married to Mead, his collection of 25,000 photographs taken in Bali stand out as among the most famous ever taken in anthropological field studies. Among all the illustrious photographers who chronicled Bali, Bateson is also the most significant photographer of Balinese highland communities and one of the first to pioneer the usefulness of photographs as memory aids to field notes, as invaluable anthropological and ethnographic tools and as a means to elucidate for others what he and Mead had witnessed.

Podcasting 101 Before the 1950s (in the USA), radio was king. Every household that could afford a radio had one and families would gather after dinner to hear serials (the precursors to today’s soap operas), news, comedy, dramas, live orchestral performances and other forms of entertainment that relied solely on listening. After television arrived, radio fell out of favor. When I was young, radio was still popular, but mostly for music or sports. When I was a teenager, CBS revived its classic ‘Radio Mystery Theatre.’ I would huddle under my covers late into the night, long past my bedtime, thrilled and scared, to listen to new shows in the traditional radio theatre style. But with the arrival of MTV and cable television, radio listening because an endangered activity. When the advent of the iPod, and the rise of digital devices, radio has returned. Now we call it ‘podcasting.’ Podcasting offers a far greater diversity in programs than radio ever did. And it’s getting even more popular than radio.

cost of bringing these shows to air. Top podcasts can bring in $20,000 USD per episode in advertising revenue. Serial fiction and non-fiction podcasts (think of the extremely popular true-life Serial) abound. Many organisations, such as libraries or museums, companies and brands, have their own podcasts. The BBC, for example, has an amazing range of podcasts, with titles like Once Upon a Time in Zombieland (for 9-12 year olds) to How to Invent a Country (on how different nations formed) to In Our Time (the history of ideas) plus mystery serials, history, travel, food, culture, politics and sport – as well as that old radio favorite, The Archers, reborn in a new format. The Moth, the live storytelling event, has a podcast. TED talks are available as podcasts. And so on. Because podcasts are so easy to make and put online, there is a wide range available, with small, niche audiences available even for the oddest or most unusual topic.

Almost half of Americans listen to a podcast every month. These broadcasts are especially popular with Millennials), a generation, ironically, that grew up with television and mobile devices, far away in time from the golden days of radio. The time spent listening to podcasts is on the rise, with people listening twice as long each week (13 hours) as they did 7 years ago. According to a Buzzsprout article, the ‘existence of podcasts is set to reinvent radio.’ Podcasting ties in well with a busy lifestyle. You can download podcasts on any mobile device or a computer, listen while you’re working, driving, at the gym, cooking or other activities, where you couldn’t watch a screen. Podcasting combines both learning and entertainment. You can subscribe and listen to podcasts for free. Just like on old-time radio, advertisers or networks pay the

Creating a podcasting and getting it ‘on the airwaves’ is both easy and inexpensive. Buzzsprout offers a comprehensive online article (https:// www.buzzsprout.com/how-to-make-a-podcast) that covers everything you need to know about getting into podcasting. The article includes good information on creating a plan before you start, finding your niche topic, the best equipment to use, theme music and cover art, a good radio voice, how to find a hosting platform for your podcast, the

NC/E/U-6 June 18

best software to use, how long to make your podcasts and much more.

Lifehacker also has a good online article (https://lifehacker.com/how-to-start-your-own-podcast-1709798447) on how to start your own podcast. Or just search online for ‘Start Your Own Podcast.’ Some of my favorite podcasts include: Invisibilia (about the forces that shape human behavior and culture), The New York Public Library Podcast (a bit of everything), Philosophize This! (on the history of philosophy), Tim Ferris (the original life and work hacking guy), The James Altucher Show (on how to reinvent and be your best self), Hardcore History (strange obscure historical topics), The Future of Everything (WSJ), Problogger Broadcast (on how to become a professional blogger), The Side Hustle Show (on having a side job or how to make your side job your main job) and So You Want to be a Writer (on writing, obviously). And in the sprit of the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre, and for devotees of horror and mystery, there are podcasts like The Black Tapes, a fictional account of a journalist examining paranormal events. (Or is it fiction?) The same team just launched, The Last Movie, a serial about a secret underground film that supposedly drives watchers insane. If you check your mobile device, you will find that it has a podcast app that comes standard with the device. If you open the device, go online and check out the incredible range of podcasts that are available for downloading and listening. (Or simply Google ‘Top 25 podcasts of 2017’ as a starting point.) And, if you can’t find exactly the podcast you’re seeking, say, Yogis Behaving Badly, you can always create and record it yourself.

Say What? Question: I moved to Bali from Thailand a few years ago, so all my conversations with my ex have been pretty much online at this point. I generally don’t answer my phone when she calls because if I did, she’d call all the time. So after a few years of this, she’s stopped calling except for rarely, and this works for me. She still loves me, and I still love her, and we’re both still attracted to each other. This is the reason why we were dating in the first place. But she has no idea what boundaries are and appears unfamiliar with the concept of “alone time.” When we were dating, I didn’t get to have my own life. That’s why I broke up with her. It’s also why I’m hesitant to get involved with her again. On the other hand, is it insane to let boundary issues ruin what’s otherwise a good relationship with good sex? Dr. ZZ: So you’re asking me about getting back together with a woman who has no sense of boundaries or personal time? In fact, things were so bad the first time around that you broke up, moved away, and ignored all of her calls in order for her to get the message. Do you know what women call men who berate them with endless phone calls, have “boundary issues,” and “still love them”? Stalkers! Even if this woman is just a person who is blissfully unaware of the concept of personal space, you’re doing her a disservice by remaining in contact with her. Chances are she thinks her online connection with you is a gateway to getting back together, when in reality you seem to be keeping her on the back shelf just in case you feel like reaching out down the road. Do both of yourselves a favor, and end contact for a while. I’m not saying you have to wait for “someone who has no issues” because, let’s be honest, everyone has issues. You just need to be more discerning and find someone who doesn’t have giant neon red alarm issues blinking all around her. So buck up, and get some self-esteem about your own identity. That way you won’t feel like you have to settle for a woman with a boatload of problems. Question: My wife and I have been married for 11 years, and our 7-year-old son’s enthusiasm for life brings me

great joy. Now we are planning a second child, a girl, whom I am imagining with blond hair. This would not be so spectacular were my wife not Asian. In concern that I carry the gene for alcoholism as well, and that we may have dodged a bullet with our first-born, we have asked my brother, who has my blond coloring, and who does not carry the alcoholism gene, to contribute sperm for fathering our next child. Although gene editing is not available publicly yet, it will most likely become an option in the next couple of years, and it is available both legally and illegally now in certain countries. My wife works in a medical lab in one such county, giving us access to this technology now, all of which has me pondering the possibility of creating a custom version of our next ideal offspring. There are, or course, many unanswered questions. The general consensus is that before any such options are made popular, Science must first better understand the entirety of the function of the gene(s) in question regarding what else, if anything, these genes contribute. There are also some ethical/regulatory issues in play; so my personal opinion goes back and forth. Do I want to experiment like this to “custom design” an offspring? Or do we take our chances as we did with our son? I’d be interested in your opinion if you think this topic is not too esoteric for your readership Dr. ZZ: Esoteric or not, the subject of gene editing is beyond

my field of expertise; issues of “control” and “power,” however, are not, and I wonder why you would want to exercise or entertain the notion of having so much control over yours and another person’s life. The old standby joke pertains: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” Right now on certain social media websites, for example, there are between 58 and 71 gender options that people can choose from in claiming a sexual identity. To imagine that your test tube offspring is going to happily conform to your ideas of what you imagine he/she should be is a setup for emotional disaster. Your role as a parent is to love your offspring and to allow them to be who and what they are, not who and what you think they should be. Control is not a sound strategy for happiness; adaptability is. You may want to look at the aspects of yourself that prompt you to even want to control your own and another person’s life to this extent. A large part of enjoying life is simply in adjusting to the reality that the only constant is change. Even King Midas with his “golden touch” learned in his conundrum that “having it your way” can be disappointing in the end. Is there wisdom in the possibility of future genetic editing for conditions like MS, Parkinson’s and Down Syndrome? This is something that we as a society, a people, will most likely need to address in the not too distant future. Is genetic editing for appearance a wise next step? Not in an already appearance-obsessed world! Freedom comes in letting go of the outcome and in cultivating inner joy - not in controlling the visual effects.

Sometimes a business or individual with a passionate interest in an arts community, and in the health of society as a whole, can bring artists together in dynamic ways. One source of that passion and enthusiasm is Denpasar’s CushCush Gallery. CushCush Gallery (CCG) was launched in 2016 by innovative design concern CushCush. Its owners, architect Jindee Chua, of KL, and Indonesian designer Suriawati Qiu from Solo, met as students in Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Jindee and Suriawati excel at designs marrying contemporary sophistication with Indonesia’s culture and craft and natural materials. On a gang just off the intersection of Jalans Teuku Umar and Diponogoro, CushCush occupies an old garment factory, repurposed for the manufacture of furniture, accessories and housewares in a modern Nusa Tenggara vein. CCG occupies a small, bright section and stands as the operation’s interface and resource linking art and design. At press time, retrospective exhibition Natural Curiosities: A Tribute to Natural Wonders, Artisans and Designers is on view, celebrating 16 years of CushCush’s creations, showing threads of exploration and innovation using local materials. Now in the final days of the show (closing is 9 June), the gallery opens by appointment only (contact Gallery Assistant Sagung, 0361 242 034). With no parking, arranging a lift there and out is essential. Just as CushCush collaborates regularly with other professionals in craft, hospitality, and design industries, Suriawati and Jindee see the need for greater collaboration between artists of varied disciplines. Year-round events and workshops at CCG bring the public (especially children) closer to art and artists.

The multidisciplinary group was then led through Bali’s markets, traveling on foot and by bemo, newly seeking that which could fire their imaginations. These markets and merchants’ districts are identified right alongside museums and artists’ studios on CCG’s Denpasar Art Map published for the exhibition. Denpasar 2017 essentially urged all comers to see the city’s markets with the eyes of art lovers if not as artists. CCG embraces the longstanding role of artists as tour guides to our times, chroniclers of society, and dreamers of our future. The Art Map is downloadable at http://cushcushgallery.com/ccg/wp-content/ uploads/2018/03/DenPasar2017-ArtMap.pdf

energetic discourse on Denpasar’s culture, and a greater public appreciation of local urban identity. Bali’s visual art scene is headed for greater triumphs, now that artists who met during Denpasar 2017 are forming their own communities and collaborations.

For three months, CCG‘s tranquil white cube became something of an agora, its walls vibrant with the faces of work and commerce, as seen through diverse media. Purposeful hustlers, images of enticing arrays of goods, and reimagined artifacts of the city, became new icons of Balinese life and culture.

A time that becomes the estuary of life’s light and dark moments. A metaphor of how we may perceive two different things within the same instant, while being lulled in its beauty. With this theme we want to undepurstand both the struggles and victories of Denpasar people and its lovers, to interpret Denpasar as their homes. We hope to uncover both the bright and the dark sides. The process of convincing, building, maintaining, or even requestioning.

CCG’s programs for children (PlayPlay and Charcoal for Kids), have seen collaborations between generations and disciplines, spilling into this year. There were charcoal-making classes (imagine this: a conte crayon made from a camphor or a mango tree), charcoal drawing sessions where young children could try out the medium for the first time, and Drawing Future: simply planting the seeds of inspiration and creative thinking by letting children experiment and discover art on their own terms. One workshop was a collaboration with adult artists and resulted in a fundraising evening for a charity. For Monster Menari, performance artist Adhika Annissa engaged youngsters in dance experimentation, while Monez Gusmang captured the scene in charcoals in an art brut style, which in turn reappeared in a limited-edition run of scarves.

Last year’s Denpasar 2017 was an ambitious project from CCG which elevated the profile of many resident artists, dancers, and craftsmen, some of them young and virtually unknown. With the theme of Bahasa Pasar or Market Language, 17 artists and groups (4 by invitation, 13 chosen by jury), produced art delving into the identities and spirit of Denpasar itself. Their stories and struggles, some involving migration from other islands, were revealed sometimes poignantly, often boldly in a great array of media. Participants included an illustrator working as a barista and a comics artist from Riau. To prep the artists taking part in the show, CCG had pioneering graphic artist Arief ‘Ayip’ Budiman and cultural activist/deejay Marlowe Bandem give short talks about the significance of the city’s market culture.

Now, CCG is calling for applicants to participate in Denpasar 2018, with its theme of jingga. Jingga is the color of dusk, that intense moment just after sunset, experienced by us in sometimes profound ways. CushCush literature describes it best:

Artists, designers, creators and artisans of all kinds can apply to CCG’s open call for proposals and finished work. The deadline for submissions is July 2, and full details about what the jurors require can be found at http://cushcushgallery.com. The resulting show will open at CCG on October 5 and run through November 4, so save the dates.

Plan now: June 23 – July 21: Bali Arts Festival (Pesta Kesenian Bali), 40th anniversary, Denpasar Arts Centre (Taman Werdhi Budaya). Jalan Nusa Indah, Denpasar (0361 245 294).

Rounding out the ongoing activities with talks about design and street art, CushCush has succeeded in launching a movement for the elevation of Bali’s contemporary art milieu with an

Bali - Traditions not Standing Still Part III

When you look at Balinese society today compared to even twenty or thirty years ago,

Bali Advertiser is the market leader – the leading English language paper on Bali. Bali Advertiser offers on-line media with our e-paper on our website.

OPEN : Mon-Fri 10am-5pm Jln. Sunset Road 888, Seminyak 80361 Bali Telp : 0361 - 934 6700 E-mail : belindowood@gmail.com NC/BM/P-25 April 18

there have been many developments in terms of how people practice religion, both in terms of spirituality and customs. A turning point I believe was the first Bali bomb in 2002 – rather than retaliate against the extremist elements in Indonesian society which Balinese saw as Islamic terrorists, religious leaders here attempted to build the core values of Bali’s culture and religion stronger via a concept termed ajeg Bali. Basically this meant promoting anything Balinese: language, food, music, dance traditional costumes, and of course religion. Balinese were encouraged to greet others with “Om Swastiastu”, even on the phone, and all meetings or speeches would be opened with this. At this time, the provincial government applied for additional public holidays that would be recognized nationally such as Nyepi. Nowadays my children have many days off for local ceremonies which were not days off in my wife’s generation: for example, Pagerwesi. Most recently, at government schools and offices it is compulsory for Hindus to wear traditional garb and pray together on new and full moon. Ceremonies got bigger and more lavish, and with the popularity of photography and social media Balinese themselves started to document ceremonies, both professionally and at an amateur level. Sometime after this, religious pilgrimage known as Titra Yatra became common, even to the extent that, particularly when it involved bus tours to Java and Lombok, it could be termed a new form of domestic tourism. Devotees are transported around in big buses, which on many occasions travel in convoys with police escorts.

Perhaps the most curious development within Balinese rituals themselves is the trend of groups of young female priests going into trance together spontaneously. I witnessed this recently at a small-scale ceremony in Kuta where the girls acted like wild boars and were eventually appeased by heavy dousing of holy water. According to Balinese friends this phenomenon is happening everywhere in Bali these days. In my next article I’m going to look at how modern technology has affected Balinese ceremonies and traditions.

ESPACE CANGGU Joining the trendy surfer set to ease their tension and aches and pains is the new Espace Spa located on the road between Deus Restaurant and Echo Beach. This ultra-modern building is two stories and very spacious. The delightful décor consists of light rattan furniture with brightly coloured African wax fabric cushions creating an atmosphere of being light and airy. Espace opened in December and is still in its “soft opening” phase with a planned grand opening in a couple of months.

which felt incredibly good. A gentle face and scalp massage had me in a state of bliss at the end. Following the massage I had the new Facial Organic Bamboo Charcoal that includes a scrub and conditioning mask enhanced with essential oils. This facial is good for cleansing and detoxing the face. The entire ritual consists of cleansing, scrubbing and a soothing face massage followed by the mask. During the process time she massaged my hands and arms and then a gentle scalp massage. She also took a warm wet cloth and removed the excess oil from my arms and legs before finishing leaving me feeling fresh and clean. C/He/G-28 Feb. 18

Espace has been in operation in Seminyak since 2001 and is well known for great proper massage thanks to their European master trainer. This is a spa where you know you’ll get a great massage that actually benefits your body and its needs. I had a little tour of the new spa when I first arrived viewing the 16 treatment rooms, some single and others double. This spa can handle a group of ten or more people at one time. The manicure/ pedicure room and cream bath facilities are beautifully outfitted. The locker room is equipped with 14 private lockers with a soft white bathrobe inside. Showers and toilets are for your convenience on the ground and first floors. After enjoying a cup of cold ginger tea I was greeted by my therapist in the reception room and accompanied to the locker room to change. When I emerged a few minutes later she was waiting for me outside the door and led me up the expansive staircase. Then I was guided to one of the single rooms and told that I would receive the full body Traditional Oriental massage first. This is Espace’s signature massage which is stimulating and rejuvenating using long strokes, deep stimulation on muscles and joints along with great stretching and pressure points. I found the massage bed very comfortable being wide and long with a face hole in the bed with a soft cushion horseshoe around it for face comfort. Looking through the tunnel of white sheeting I could see a small garden of flowers below. So many massage beds are quite narrow with an uncomfortable face cradle at the end of the table. This one was a pleasure to lie on. The massage commenced with some gentle rocking on the back to relax me. Then strong stretches to my legs which really needed it. Methodically she worked on each leg easing the aching muscles then placed a small cushion under each ankle for comfort of the leg. The splendid back massage erased all tension. Then she surprised me by asking me to lie on my left side, which is a common position in Shiatsu and Thai massage. Instead of applying oil she covered my leg with the sheet and pressed pressure points on the outside and inside my leg. Some of the points almost had me crying out in pain but I had to grin and bear it knowing it was doing my body good. The whole massage seemed to go on forever culminating in a band of fabric under my neck and pulling up on the occipital

Other massages on offer are Calm and Relax Me - full body for a more gentle touch; Tension Relief - Deep Tissue with a choice of full back, neck, shoulder and upper back or lower back. Pregnancy care to nurture the mother to be. Foot Reflexology Discovery and Four Hands Massage, which is an amazing massage choreographed with two therapists working in perfect harmony. An awesome experience and maybe the best four handed massage I’ve tried. Warm stone massage ensures a deeper relaxation and purification. E s p a c e o ff e r s b o d y masks wraps and scrubs that leave your skin silky smooth and hydrated. Scrubs include: Mandi Lulur, Marine Crystal S a l t s G l o w, C o ff e e , Coconut, Green Tea, Mineral Flores Island Sea Mud and the new Organic Bamboo Charcoal. Wraps include: Traditional Balinese Boreh, Sea Weed Mask, Mud Mask and Enriched Cooling Sea Weed. Other facials include Biokos - Aloe Vera, Spa Essentia Singapore or add some deep cleansing to allow a deeper cleansing of impurities.

professional business life. Rotary holds conferences, conventions, assemblies, and institutes that provide entertainment in addition to Rotary information, education, and service. 13. Development of Social Skills: Every week and at various events and functions, Rotary develops one’s personality, social skills and people skills. Rotary is for people who like people.

Why would you want to join a huge worldwide organization like the Rotary? Let’s start by describing this worldwide organization. What is Rotary? Rotary is made up of individual Rotary clubs, 33,000 clubs in the world with 1.2 million members just like you. Clubs are designed to do volunteer projects that help local peoples. Their motto is “Service Above Self.” In Bali that may be a water project that brings water to villages, or even schools, that have no access to water. Or it may be setting up a library with book shelves and books in local schools without books. Or supply motorbike helmets for 5 and 6 year old local children that can’t afford them. The Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset focuses on health, hygiene, and education. We look for families, schools and communities that are unable to benefit from the tourist economy and work with them to see what their greatest needs are.

relations and personal development. 4. Leadership Development: Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Leadership is all about learning how to motivate, influence and lead leaders. 5. Citizenship in the Community: Membership in a Rotary club helps develop better community citizens. The average Rotary club consists of the most active citizens of any community. 6. Continuing Education: Each meeting at Rotary, there is a program designed to keep members informed about what is going on in the community, nation and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers on a variety of timely topics. 7. Fun: Rotary is a fun and exciting place to be.

We have our own projects like the helmets for kids and school libraries, but we also support local organizations like The John Fawcett Foundation with does free cataract surgeries, gives eye exams, etc. Also the Bali Children’s Project, which provides the items that some children need to go to school but can’t afford, like books, uniforms, shoes, etc. We also helped to open the HIV/AIDS clinic west of Ubud, Klinik Anggrek, that provides free provide screening and then free medicines and support where needed. Here is a list of many of the reasons why people join a local Rotary club: 1. Friendship / Fellowship / Community: In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.

8. Prestige: Rotary members are prominent people: leaders of business, the professions, art, government, sports, military, religion, and all disciplines. Rotary is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. Its ranks include executives, managers, and professionals people who make decisions and influence policy. 9. Citizenship in the World: Every Rotarian wears a pin that says “Rotary International.” There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary club. Every Rotarian is welcome - even encouraged - to attend any of the 30,000 clubs in 194 nations and geographical regions. This encourages new friendships in both local and world communities. 10. Assistance When Traveling: Traveling Rotarians can secure medical and professional assistance as well as services and advice from fellow Rotarians throughout the world.

2. Business Development: The second original reason for Rotary’s beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.

11. Public Speaking Skills: Many individuals who joined Rotary were uncomfortable about speaking in public. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.

3. Personal Growth and Development: Membership in Rotary ensures continuing growth and education in human

12. Entertainment: Every Rotary club and district has parties and activities that contribute to a diverse, yet

14. Family Programs: Rotary provides one of the world’s largest youth exchange programs; high school and college clubs for future Rotarians; opportunities for spouse involvement; and a host of activities designed to help family members in growth and the development of family values. 15. Vocational Skills: Every Rotarian is expected to take part in the growth and development of his or her own profession or vocation; to serve on committees and to teach youth about jobs or vocations. Rotary helps to make each individual a better doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc. 16. The Development of Ethics: Rotarians practice a 4 Way Test that governs their ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships. 17. Cultural Awareness: Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, color and ethnic identity is represented among members of Rotary. Rotary is a cross section of the world’s most prominent citizens who are aware of their cultures and have developed a love of working with people everywhere. They become better citizens of their countries in the process. 18. Nice People: Rotarians are the nicest people on the face of the earth. 19. Absence of an Official Creed: Rotary has no secret handshake, no official creed, no secret meetings or rituals. It is an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others. 20. Opportunity to Serve: As a service club, Rotary’s business is mankind and its product is service. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do good. So why not attend our next meeting to find out more. We meet on the last Monday of each month at the Maya Resort and Spa in Ubud and on the 2nd Monday each month at Kakiang Garden Café on Jl Andong. 5:30-7PM. To ensure a seat you need to RSVP to: meeting @ rotarybaliubudsunset.org. Also visit our web site for more information at http://rotarybaliubudsunset.org/

Update

Maya Sari, the lead restaurant at Maya Ubud, Peliatan, has seriously upgraded their menus under the guidance of their new food and beverage management. Dining can be inside the main room, on the garden terrace or outside above the passing river. For a starter the Beef Tataki is served with daikon, radish, mint, horseradish and a ginger, lemon and soy dressing. Interesting, healthy salads are now a feature of this menu. Passion Fruit & Seafood is with poached salmon, scallops, prawns and tropical fruits. Thai Chicken is tossed with mesclun salad, cabbage, avocado, mango, red peppers, cilantro, green onion, bean sprouts, cashew nuts, soy and sesame oil. The Quinoa and Rocket is about as healthy as you can get; chick peas, lemon, garlic, turmeric, paprika, zucchini and pecorino cheese. New additions to the menu include Laksa Lemak, a spicy seafood soup and Atlantic Salmon, served with an orange beurre blanc sauce. Old favourites are still there, top of my list are the New Zealand Lamb Chops [pictured] perfectly prepared, with pink flesh, crisp surrounding skin still attached.

The Clubhouse, is it Sanur’s best kept secret? Specialisation is rare in Bali restaurants where most menus try to cater for the world with oversize menus. The Clubhouse is simple; just steaks, hot dogs and fish & chips. However most go there to enjoy one of the best steaks in Bali. Meat that is genuinely imported from Australia or New Zealand [not Aussie beef cattle raised in Sumartra] and then dry-aged on the premises. Hidden away on the back streets of Sanur it is not easy to find for the first time. It is in behind Hardy’s and The Oasis; Jln. Kesari II Gang Penjor No 15, sign-posted on Jln. Danau Tamblingan. The Steaks can be ordered in various sizes from 250 – 400 grams. They come with very large potato wedges, and salad. Or if you prefer the smaller steak can be had in a Sandwich or Burger. They also come with the giant wedges and only Rp.120,000. Malabar is one of Ubud’s many Indian restaurants. It is small, intimate and reeks of Indian spices. Indian restaurants are the only ones that you can recognize by smell from 20 metres. You can almost taste the smell! This one specializes in India’s cuisine of the south, Malabari, from the famous area of Kerala, where the curries are milder and more aromatic. You do not come here expecting a fiery curry! The restaurant is located down a small gang [Arjuna] that runs off Monkey Forest Road at the top end. As with 90% of Ubud’s restaurants these days, parking is a problem although the ban on Monkey Forest Road seems to be relaxed in the evenings. A small menu and that is very welcome. Malabar specialises in chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes. Good samosas that are different from the norm! It is family run and all is prepared to order so a small wait is often the case. When the food arrives, you have already forgotten that. Great value for money! Le Patio actually has one, or two, but it is also nice to eat in the open central garden area, very relaxing. It is just metres away from the throbbing noisy Raya Seminyak. Whilst it is under French management the menu is a mix of local and Mediterranean dishes. If you want French you can order a real Salade Nicoise [greens tossed with tuna, tomato, corn, onion, black olives, potato, boiled egg and honey vinaigrette], Steak Tartare or the very French Fish a l’estragon [mahi-mahi in a wonderful tarragon cream sauce]. There are unusual dishes on the menu such as the Tuna Sesame Steak [with a balsamic caramel sauce] or Grilled Chicken, greens, cashew nuts and pineapple, served in a pineapple boat. There are Sandwiches on Ciabatta or Burgers, if you just want a snack. The local menu leads off with a Ginger Chicken and includes the ever popular Indo-Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken [Ayam Asam Manis]. The kids love the Gelato Twists.

Hai Ling has replaced the long closed Feyloon Restaurant on Raya Kuta [opp KFC]. Still serves Cantonese cuisine with a large selection of dim sum, in fact nothing much seems to have changed since it was Feyloon.

The Hub has been all the rage in recent months, in the Sanur area, and threatens to be one success among many failures to open on The Bypass. It is on the northern end and is a giant glass house which seems to be the latest fashion in Bali restaurants although this one is almost always busy, the others almost always empty. Although what a yellow Volkswagen, hanging from the roof, does for the atmosphere I know not. The Hub is offspring from the well established Bali Kopi House of Butterfly Coffee fame, at the southern end of The Bypass. Unlike its brother restaurant the clientele here is 90% local [most with large SUV’s] which says something but I am not sure what? The food is normal modern café fare seemingly with the emphasis on presentation. Botanical is about to open on the street where it all began, one that has continually kept changing its official name but I still call it what I christened it back in 2002, Eat Street. Back when Mykonos and Christalada were the only restaurants, surrounded by rice paddies, and everyone else was beginning to move in. Under experienced and successful management Botanical promises to be a welcome change with its modern and innovative café style menu, not same-same like most of the rest. A sure success!

Hamburgers! The Nirvana Burger Bar is also a sports bar. Many screens cover all of the world’s major sporting events, as well as all the popular Australian ones. If sport bores you then the bar area and the front section of the restaurant is your escape. The Burger Bar is next door to the Nirvana restaurant, on the Seminyak side of Eat Street. A few years ago I commented that even though the majority of Bali restaurants, including some fine dining ones, had hamburgers on their menu there were still no specialty burger restaurants. Then they came, in droves….. many of them were not to last the distance, and have already gone. Hamburgers have existed in Australia for almost as long as they have in the USA. They are only a very recent addition to the menus of the rest of the world. Although there were a few attempts to do so, such as England’s awful Wimpy, and their even worse street food burgers which had the beef patty actually boiled and placed alone in a soft bun! Late night drinkers eat anything. So it is no surprise that an Australian restaurant is the longest running specialty burger site in Bali. No they are not gourmet burgers, wagyu or from other exotic cuts or processes of meat. They are just simple plain hamburgers [with many filling options], which after all is what most people want. A quick snack, with taste! You can not beat the basic classic; beef patty with lettuce, tomato and onion in a sesame seed bun. At Nirvana it is very good [pictured], served as they all are with French fries, or chips as they are called in Australia, The ‘Aussie Burger’ appears on many Bali menus, sadly as misrepresented as Thai’s Tom Yum Goong or Beef Salad. It differs from the American way of preparing and serving a hamburger. In my younger years I made thousands of them on a working holiday. There are many small differences from the American, 1st the bun is toasted [the American is

QUICK REVIEW sometimes steamed]. The beef patty is hand moulded from the fresh mince, sometimes with finely chopped onion added, even some egg yolks as well as normal seasoning. It has all the ingredients of the classic hamburger plus one special, pure Australian element, a slice of beetroot [without that it is definitely NOT an Aussie Burger]. The Cheeseburger option has the top half of the bun removed from the grill half way and the underside covered with a mound of grated cheddar cheese before returning till the cheese begins to melt. Any added egg is cooked on the hotplate in an egg ring, rarely seen in Bali.

Nirvana just about gets it right. Their version is a cheeseburger with fried egg added. Whereas the true American hamburger is properly best represented by those available at the Hard Rock Café, a larger sesame seed bun, fired patty, sliced dill pickle and table relishes for you to add as you please.

: Burgers++.

: Friendly and relaxed..

The variations on the classic are endless. Top of the list is, as always, the Hawaiian, with a pineapple ring added. A Bali fusion one, the Volcano, has a chilli sambal to give it a bit of extra heat. The Barbie Burger is still beef but with BBQ sauce. There are also double cheese and bacon & cheese burgers.

Overall

: Great value for this area!

The Chicken Burger, chicken patty, lettuce, tomato and cheese, uses the Aussie colloquial name as a Chook Burger, which confounds all but Australians. There are also Fish and Vegetarian Burgers. A Mini Burger Platter is 3 miniatures, one of each; beef, chicken and fish. To any of the burgers you can double up on or add your own favourite ingredient, there is a long list of available extras. As an alternative to a burger meal try another Aussie standard, the Steak Sandwich. Apart from the beef fillet, tomato, lettuce and onion it also has beetroot, cheese and a fried egg. It is more a meal than a snack this one. A bit messy to eat but so, so good! Copyright © 2018 Gerry Williams

The Nirvana Burger Bar seems to throb, day and night. There are other snack items that go very well with a drink at the front bar. You can order Chicken Wings and Nuggets, Onion Rings or a plate of Potato Wedges [served with a cocktail dipping sauce], or a plate of Crumbed Calamari. Simple cuisine served well, at reasonable prices. No wonder the place is always busy!

THE SKIN WINS Recently a friend from Morocco visited me, bringing gifts of lovely natural body care products: rose water, orange flower face tonic, argan oil, frankincense. I was delighted to present her with some of the locally made, natural personal care products available within a 20 minute stroll of my house in Ubud. Over the years I’ve researched and written several stories on commercial skin care products, and as a result have stopped using most of them. Those attractively packaged and heavily marketed creams and lotions contain parabens, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate, formaldehyde and toluene to name just a few chemicals you probably wouldn’t rub on your car, much less your epidermis. And in Indonesia it’s almost impossible to buy skin products that don’t contain some form of bleaching agent (hydroquinone is the most toxic) to make the skin lighter.

dated and should be kept in the fridge because they contain no preservatives. We’re fortunate here in Bali to be able to buy a wide range of excellent natural care products at a reasonable price. Here are four of the brands I use. I’ve met the people who make them and know them all to be ethical and committed to using only natural ingredients. All these businesses are run by dedicated Indonesians with a passion for producing high quality products. All have relationships with local farmers and producers who supply the raw materials. Utama Spice (www.utamaspicebali.com) was one of the earliest to start capturing traditional Balinese herbal lore in personal care products. Starting in 1989, Dayu Suci and Melanie Templer saw a need to retain Bali’s deep herbal knowledge and traditions before they were lost. They began making remedies by hand for their friends and families. The product range grew over time and now includes a large variety of face care, moisturisers, scrubs, incense, essential oils and much more. (Their natural face serum is wonderful, especially when travelling in dry climates.) Utama Spice have dedicated stores in Ubud, Sanur, Kuta and Jakarta and some of their products are available in Guardian Pharmacies nationally and in other outlets. Utama Spice has long term relationships with its producers and most of its staff has been with them from the beginning. They’re made by real people from real plants, oils and other natural materials on the principle that if you can’t eat it, you shouldn’t put it on your body

Commercial products contain preservatives and stabilisers which make them so chemically stable that they never degrade even after years on the shelf. Your skin is your largest organ, covering an area of about 20 square feet. It is absorbent, so whatever you use on it will penetrate the tissues and eventually enter the blood and travel to the vital organs; children are especially vulnerable to transdermal toxins. Personal care products contain carcinogens and chemicals which collect in the body over many years. In 2006 the European Food Safety Authority banned propyl paraben in food (parabens are just one of the many dangerous chemicals found in personal care products) because of evidence it disrupted sex hormones and sperm counts. North American authorities are less concerned. From the FDA’s own website: “The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act does not require cosmetic products and ingredients to be approved by FDA before they go on the market, except for color additives that are not intended for use as coal tar hair dyes.” Buyer beware. For several years now I’ve been using natural skin care products created here in Bali without chemical additives. They’re made by real people from real plants, oils and other natural materials on the principle that if you can’t eat it, you shouldn’t put it on your body. Natural skin care products are

Ibu Lilir and her husband Pak Westi are both descended from traditional Balinese herbalists. They’ve been working with healing plants all their lives and in 2011 formally established Nadi’s Herbal (www.nadisherbal.com). Deeply impressed by her knowledge of healing plants, I’ve been consulting with and writing about Ibu Lilir since I arrived in Bali in 2000. She describes herself as a traditional doctor and has a degree in Ayurvedic medicine; she’s currently back at university studying for her Masters of Science. Ibu Lilir has received several national awards and presidential recognition for her work. Almost all the raw materials for Nadis Herbal products are grown and processed on their large, chemical-free garden in Abiansemal near Ubud. They offer jamu (traditional medicine) workshops and Pak Westi leads walks through the rice fields to help visitors identify medicinal plants. Nadis Herbal is the only business still preparing and selling traditional Balinese herbal remedies for local people from their little shop on Jalan Suweta. Beside the creams, scrubs and essential oils are packets of boreh and herbal teas popular with older Balinese. Blue Stone Botanicals (www.bluestonebotanicals.com) has been creating beautifully crafted and packaged natural products from local materials since 2012. Its products include steam-distilled essential oils, body balms, soap and hair

tonics but their most unusual item is called RainMist. Created as a healthy alternative to synthetic air fresheners, the aromatherapy mists are made with pure essential oils and rainwater harvested from the slopes of Bali’s volcanoes. Mists use a lot of demineralised water; in a sustainable livelihoods program for women living in rural households, the rainwater is collected in special containers in open areas directly from the sky. It’s tested in the field, then further purified through ceramic and carbon filters before essential oils are added. View a delightful little video of the process at www.BaliRainMist.com This has to be one of the purest products ever created. Their two shops are on Jalan Dewi Sita. Ubud Botany Interactive (www.ubudbotany.com) is the business of a dedicated young local botanist named Mbak Dewi. Dewi is a farmer’s daughter who earned Bachelor and Masters degrees in Botany from Udayana University and is now sharing her knowledge with visitors. Her programs include agricultural and botanical walks, Balinese cultural tours and a workshop to make coconut oil. From her little shop at the end of Jalan Kajeng she offers daily workshops in making natural shampoo, sun protection cream, face masks and traditional healing scrubs/boreh from plants. She also has a small range of natural products for sale, including essential oils she makes herself. The walks and workshops offered by Ibu Lilir, Pak Westi and Dewi provide fascinating links to a rural Bali that is fast disappearing. Rapid development is paving over the pathways and rice fields where healing plants grow wild. Traditional recipes for therapeutic teas, scrubs and skin care products are being lost as the new generations prefer commercial products. Our support for these small businesses has many benefits. It keeps alive traditional products and therapies and demonstrates their value to the young Balinese who are working in these businesses. It encourages farmers to continue growing traditional herbs and flowers. It gets visitors out into the countryside learning about this facet of Balinese culture. It gives us great ideas for gifts. And it provides us with safe, affordable personal care products. The skin wins.

Indonesian pair sentenced to 15 years for killing Dutchman in Jimbaran

Two Indonesian defendants have been sentenced to 15 years in Denpasar District Court over the murder of a Dutchman in Bali’s quiet Jimbaran area. Winda Wilantara, 23, and Andika Budiyanto, were found guilty in court on Thursday of the premeditated murder of elderly Dutch national Robert Goelhoed. The panel of judges, lead by Ketut Suarta, handed down a more lenient sentence than the prosecutor’s demand of 18 years. “We sentence the defendants to 15 years imprisonment,” said Suarta, as quoted by Kumparan. The defendants along with the prosecutors both have one week to decide whether or not they accept the sentence or will move for appeal. The expat was killed by Wilantara and Budiyanto on Oct. 26, 2017 on Jl. Ambon in the Puri Gading housing complex area of Jimbaran, the court previously heard in the defendants’ indictment. The pair made a plan to kill Goelhoed the previous day on Oct. 25, 2017 while staying at a condotel belonging to the victim on Jl. Dewi Sri in Legian. In addition to killing the victim, the defendants also stole from the Dutchman, including two cars. It all went down after the victim allegedly asked the two defendants to perform a sexual act in his bathroom, the court heard. With assistance from Budiyanto, Wilantara killed Goelhoed, striking him on the head with an iron bar then proceeding to cut him with an axe until he was no longer alive, prosecutors said. Goelhoed’s body wasn’t found until over a week later when a neighbor, walking her dog, reported a foul stench coming from the house. Wilantara was later arrested on Nov. 7 in Lampung, Sumatra, while police tracked Budiyanto down on Nov. 9 at the home of his parents in Bogor, West Java. Violent crimes are not common in Bali, but a Japanese couple was actually killed in the same neighborhood, Puri Gading, last year, in what was ruled to have been a burglary gone wrong. The perpetrator got 15 years prison. [Coconuts Bali May 25, 2018]

Indonesia passes tougher terror law after suicide attacks Indonesia passed a new law yesterday that will give police more power to take pre-emptive action against terrorism suspects following the country’s deadliest Islamist attacks in years. The bill had been stalled for almost two years as parliament wrangled over key details, including how to define terrorism. But a wave of deadly suicide bombings on churches and a police station this month - claimed by Islamic State - heaped pressure on MPs to pass the legislation. With Indonesia set to host the Asian Games in three months and an IMF-World Bank meeting in Bali in October, President Joko Widodo threatened to issue an emergency regulation if parliament failed to pass the beefed-up law. Changes were first proposed after a January 2016 suicide bombing and gun

Every year, millions of people flock to the Indonesian islands of Bali, Lombok and Gili Trawangan, lured by the rich culture, crystal-clear water and volcanic mountains covered in thick forest. But for many animals, the islands are far from a paradise destination. Among the popular attractions on offer are a number of wildlife venues, where animals such as elephants, dolphins and orangutans are held in captivity, specifically for the purpose of entertaining tourists.

now be allowed to detain terrorist suspects for as long as 21

A new report published by nonprofit World Animal Protection (WAP) investigated 26 of these venues and painted a bleak picture of the conditions that these animals are forced to endure every day. WAP found that all venues failed to meet the basic needs of the animals they kept, highlighting various welfare issues that led to significant suffering. These included extreme restraint through cages and chains, limited opportunities to naturally socialize with other animals, participation in stressful and harmful activities, forced interaction with people, non-existent or insufficient veterinary care, and inadequate nutrition and diet. Researchers surveyed more than 1,500 animals and found evidence of dolphins being kept in severely insufficient pools which were far too small for them. Elephants suffered cruel and intensive training that involved severe and traumatizing restraint and pain, and orangutans were forced to entertain and take selfies with long queues of tourists. Among the more disturbing findings, one venue was even found to have filed down or entirely removed the teeth of its dolphins to ensure that they were unable to inflict serious bites on swimmers. “It’s a tragedy that Bali, such a beautiful destination for tourists, forces its captive wild animals to endure such grotesque and horrific conditions,” Steve McIvor, CEO of WAP said in a statement. “Behind the scenes, wild animals are being taken from their mothers as babies or bred in captivity to be kept in filthy, cramped conditions, or repeatedly forced to interact with tourist for hours on end. “Bali is an idyllic paradise and its economy relies on the millions of tourists who travel there each year. Sadly, until Bali improves animal welfare at these dreadful venues, we are urging tourists to avoid them,” he added. This is not just a problem in Indonesia. Across the world, wild animals are being captured or bred in captivity to be used in the tourism industry. In light of the report, WAP is encouraging holidaymakers to boycott travel companies that promote and support cruel venues. “If you can ride, hug or have a selfie with a wild animal, then it’s cruel-don’t do it, no matter how many ‘likes’ it will get on social media,” McIvor said. [ Newsweek May 22, 2018] Aussie mum’s Bali tattoo nightmare LISA Anne Tapp and her family had just had a blissful holiday in Bali, a destination she loves - but things turned sour after they returned home. While in the resort area of Nusa Dua, in southern Bali, she treated her six-yearold son Benjamin to a henna tattoo. However, shortly after getting back to Australia earlier this month, Benjamin suffered a reaction that may see him scarred for life. Now, the Australian traveller is warning others of the dangers. “Just thought I would put out a warning,” Lisa said. “My family and I just got back from another amazing holiday in Bali. But a week after being home my six-year-old son started to break out on his arms and leg where he had henna tattoos done.” Lisa said the problem lay in the tattoo’s black colouring, which indicates that chemicals were added to it. “The tattoos were black and not brownish red,” she said. “I have since found out that the black henna has nasty chemicals added to it. They add PPD (paraphenylenediamine) and even kerosene.” It’s likely that the scars will remain, although there’s hope they will fade over time. “The hospital and doctors back home have told me that my son will more likely have permanent scarring on his two arms and leg. “So please everyone enjoy the beautiful Bali and beautiful Balinese people but stay clear of any henna tattoos especially if they are offering in the black colour.” Lisa’s warning comes after Chinese media reported that a 30-year-old man was taken to hospital days after returning from the Indonesian holiday isle. He had suffered a severe allergic reaction to a henna tattoo, with his arm turning red and becoming severely swollen. Problems with dark henna tattoos in Bali are so common that our government has issued a warning, however many tourists remain unaware. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade states in its travel advice for Indonesia: “Avoid temporary black henna tattoos which often contain a dye that can cause serious skin reactions.” It’s not just Bali that has this problem either; cases have been reported around the world, including seven-year-old Madison Gulliver who was left with horrific scars after visiting Egypt, and Theo Luckett, 7, who was scarred in Bulgaria. While PPD is present in many products, such as sun cream and hair dye, it is usually used in very small doses. The addition of PPD into henna is now recognised as a public health issue, as this allergenic chemical often causes hypersensitivity reactions in children. [Queenlands Times May 17, 2018] Bali-Java ferry burns in harbor, passengers evacuated Passengers had to be evacuated from a burning ferry servicing the Bali to Java route on Thursday afternoon. The rear engine of the KMP Labitra Adinda caught fire around 2:20pm right as the boat was queueing to dock at the Port of Ketapang in Banyuwangi, East Java, according to Banyuwangi Water Police Comr. Subandi. The ferry was carrying 18 passengers and 12 crew members, along with five trucks, five dump trucks, two motorcycles. The route across the Bali Strait is a popular one, leaving from the Port of Gilimanuk in Jembrana, West Bali to Ketapang and is usually just a quick 30-minute ride–that is when the ferry doesn’t catch fire.

days, up from a week under the original law in 2003, and the entire permissible detention period from arrest to trial is doubled to more than two years. They will be able to charge people for joining or recruiting for a “terrorist” organisation, at home or abroad. Hundreds of Indonesians flocked to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside ISIS and many have since returned, but police had been powerless to arrest them. They will also have a greater legal basis to prosecute radical clerics who inspire attacks. The definition of terrorist acts and threats was expanded to include motives of ideology, politics and security disruption. Some MPs said that would prevent the law from being abused. The revamped law also carries tougher jail terms and opens the door to the military playing a bigger role in Indonesia’s counter-terrorism efforts. Military involvement in counter-terrorism operations will be defined later by presidential regulation. Muhammad Syafi’i, chairman of the parliamentary committee that reviewed the new law, said inclusion of the military aims to beef up police capabilities in cracking down on extremism and radical networks in Indonesia. [The Australian May 26, 2018] Jokowi said to have inked regulation on Premium despite criticism President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has reportedly given his approval for a revised presidential regulation ensuring the supply of Premium-branded gasoline in Java, Madura and Bali, regions where the fuel was previously phased out. The revision of Presidential Regulation No. 191/2014 has been labeled as a politically motivated move ahead of the presidential election next year. Fansurullah Asa, head of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas), said the president had signed the revision, which was submitted by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignasius Jonan. “We will wait for the following ministerial regulation, which assigns BPH Migas to distribute Premium in Java, Madura and Bali,” he said as quoted by Tempo.co on Friday. Fansurullah added the fixed volume for distribution had yet to be decided, noting that throughout 2017 the agency recorded a realization of 5.1 million liters of Premium. Presidential spokesperson Johan Budi could not be reached for confirmation on whether Jokowi had officially signed the revised presidential regulation. Premium is one of state energy giant Pertamina’s products with a research octane number (RON) level of 88, the lowest RON. Despite being a

“When the fire first appeared, the ship was still positioned at sea, located 200 meters from the beach,” Subandi said, as quoted by Kompas. Passengers were evacuated using another boat, the KMP Karya Maritim II, while the ferry’s crew were rescued on rubber boats belonging to Basarnas (Search & Rescue) and water police. “It was a difficult time evacuating passengers and crew because the wave conditions were very high, up to three meters. We asked the crew to jump one by one to the rubber boats,” Subandi explained. All passengers survived and there were no reported injuries, head of Jembrana Water Police Unit, Insp. Eddy Waluyo told Okezone. The boat itself was eventually moved to Bulusan Beach, which runs about one kilometer from Ketapang Port. The fire was reportedly thought to be successfully extinguished around 5:30pm, but reemerged, and wasn’t totally extinguished until later in the evening. [Coconuts Bali May 29, 2018]

low octane gasoline, Premium is popular because of its low price, which has been set at Rp 6,550 (47 US cents) per liter for Java, Madura and Bali. Meanwhile, Pertalite, which has an RON of 90, is sold at Rp 7,800 per liter. [The Jakarta Post May 27, 2018]
