BA Feature Article A Journey Into the Heart of Indonesian Cuisine By PERIPATETE For an Indonesian cook whose nickname is Koki Gadungan (pseudo-chef), Rahung Nasution – or Chef Rahung (as he is better known) - has already managed to attract a substantial following around the country and region - especially in Ubud, where this year alone he participated in two of the biggest happenings on Ubud’s annual cultural circuit.

from far off islands and regions.

At the inaugural Ubud Food Festival last June, he went wokto-wok in a cook-off with renowned Malaysian accountantturned-Chef Wan, each one whipping up their own version of Rendang (Rahung’s won out); while at the 2015 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, Chef Rahung’s demonstration focused on the Batak delicacies of his native village in Northern Sumatra.

Rahung traveled far and wide, absorbing the richness of local tastes and styles. Mentawai island, bordering the Indian Ocean, remains one of his favorite destinations.

He continued to travel, soaking up more culinary experiences along the way. “I had the opportunity to learn from other kitchen moms. I went to Maluku, to Toraja, to Papua. Everywhere I went, I was invited to stay. That’s how people’s homes and kitchens became my university.”

He was also captivated by the Dayak tribe in Borneo: “The Dayak people live in the forest. Their food and way of life is still like the traditional way of life. Their forest is like a big supermarket. All their ingredients come from there and their food is not heavily inÀuenced by other cooking as it is in other regions. The forest still seduces them.”

Indonesian cooking alive, he is practical and progressive enough to break the rules. “I believe that traditional cooking has to improvise and innovate. I add oil even if in Batak we don’t use it.” Innovation, notes Rahung, is the key to ensuring the preservation of food heritage of Indonesia. Mindful of his connection to the past, in 2014, after an absence of 15 years (sparked by the merantau), Rahung returned home to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid Ul Fitri with family and friends. “If you come back to your family, it must be for a special reason – say, a holiday – and you have to have a position in society, career, money or wife. Doctor or teacher. Even if I wasn’t married, I earned the right to go back because I had a profession.”

His travels among the Dayak and his training with the kitchen moms, ¿lled him with a sense of pride about indigenous dishes and spices. It also made him recognize the widespread lack of knowledge, the homogenization and incursion of Western foods into his country. Rahung’s contention is that the Indonesian people and the government have turned a blind eye to these problems.

While a Balinese assistant tended to a fragrant mixture simmering in a wok, Chef Rahung ran through a list of tropical ingredients that were being added in, each an essential component of his Bataknese culinary fare: galangal, ginger, lemongrass, some lemon and andaliman (Szechuan pepper), roasted candlenut, coriander and coconut oil. Then again, he’s unafraid to step out of the strictures of his culinary tradition. “Normally in Batak cooking,” says Nasution,” we use pork. But this one is beef. People in some places, like Manado, eat dog too. But I’m trying to educate them about that.”

“In the West, there is a long tradition of food as culture and science. But here, in Indonesia, the richest country in the world with a culinary tradition – there are no cooking schools. There is no other country in the world with 500 tribes, 500 different ethnic groups, each of which has its own rich culinary history and tradition.” A sense of ignorance and lack of interest among Indonesians is troubling to this passionate chef. “They don’t know what I’m cooking, they don’t know where the ingredients come from, their own traditions. Today, people go to tourism school where they only learn the basics of western cooking. This is a serious challenge for our country.”

As a self-taught chef, Rahung is also trying to educate Indonesians about the importance of preserving the country’s unique culinary heritage and celebrating the distinct Àavors and spices of regional dishes. Indeed, Rahung considers his mission to be the sharing of knowledge that he has gained on a journey of culinary discovery around Indonesia.

As the eldest of ¿ve children, 41-year old Rahung was, from a young age, saddled with the responsibility to ensure food was on the table. “For dinner, we couldn’t wait for my mother to come home so she taught me to cook. It became a habit.” A habit that would lead him to venture further a¿eld – far from his home and culinary roots. At the age of fourteen, Rahung set out alone on a voyage of discovery. In the merantau tradition of his Sumatran (including Batak tribal) ways, he left home to travel, seek experience and success. “I didn’t want to be a farmer because I saw how hard it was for my parents. It was a nightmare for them, and I didn’t want the same for me. So I left to ¿nd a new life.” Rahung soon found himself living a hardened life on streets of Jakarta, where he was homeless for a time. He reached Yogyakarta, where he befriended and lived with students from around Indonesia. They traveled and cooked together. From his fellow students and friends, he learned more about dishes

If every plate of food tells a story about his people and country, then Rahung’s tattoos tell a similar tale – tinged with the power of resistance. Hidden away under his trademark Àat cap (or, in other sightings, a black fedora cap), is a drawing of a mythical dragon. “This is the symbol of Mangala Bulan, the Batak god of destruction.” On his arm is a calligraphic rendering, in Batak script, of “the ancestral name of my family clan.” Not satis¿ed with the markings of his own tribe, he had etched into his face those of the Papuan Koita tribe. “It’s a political statement, because the Papuans are suffering. Their land is exploited and there is no school for the children. We destroy their land and society. This is my act of sympathy, so I’m a Papuan too.”

As if a bridge between the past and present, Rahung maintains that food that is cooked today is – and should be - inseparable from its past. “It’s part of our oral tradition from our grandmothers and mothers. Indonesians don’t want to cook anymore. If Indonesians don’t learn from their mothers and grandmothers, or in school, we will lose this knowledge and heritage.” Rahung is quick to credit his own mother with instilling an appreciation for local Àavors – and the cooking skills that have served him well. “When I was a little kid, my mother had to leave home at six in the morning,” says Rahung. “So she prepared our breakfast before going to work in the rice ¿elds. My father also worked at a rubber plantation; then he went ¿shing and brought home the ¿sh.”

In the years away from home, Rahung earned much more than a career. He’d developed a form of political activism borne of a deep respect for the richness of Indonesian culture and tradition. And together with his enthusiasm for engaging on social, cultural and political levels, he found a mode of expression that bridged his views about food culture and society – in tattoos. As he once said, “If my tattoos are a political attitude, then cooking is a political action.”

So Chef Rahung is on a self-guided mission to change the status quo. “Food is our identity, so we should celebrate its diversity. We have to teach where the food comes from, the tradition and philosophy of the food; the importance of developing a vision.” Where to start? His goal is to transfer the knowledge and pride where it will make the most impact – to the youth of Indonesia. “Children should be learning about the origins and traditions of the foods that they eat at home,” he says. Ever the vocal enthusiast, Rahung proposes a paradigm shift: “The government should add food culture into the educational system, integrate food into the curriculum. Like the Balinese language. An understanding of the roots of our culture includes food. We shouldn’t ignore it.” To Rahung, this lack of awareness is perilous because it overlooks a pivotal era in his country’s history. “The way Indonesia became a nation, comes from the era of the spice trade. With colonization and religion, the Arabs, the Chinese, even the Persians, all came here, looking for nutmeg and cloves. That monopolized the spice trade in Banda Neira and Maluku Islands. Without Banda (the origins of nutmeg date back to the ¿rst VOC headquarters in Nusantara, after the great massacre of 1621 by Jan Pieterzoon Coen), there would be no Indonesia.” Although Rahung ¿rmly believes in keeping the roots of

His identi¿cation with the disempowered and marginalized extends to other tribes and regions of the archipelago. “This tattoo is from the Dayak tribe that live in the West Kalimantan forest. Most Dayak no longer live on their ancestral land, because they were forcibly removed. So they lose their supermarket, their rice ¿elds and identity.” While matters of identity, history and culture are among the forces that drive Rahung’s advocacy and deep-seated appreciation for his country’s traditions, this outspoken chef continues to expand his own knowledge and experiences through adventures far and wide. A recent trip around the spice islands – Banda Neira, Seram, Ternate, Tidore and Halmahera – gave Rahung more time to delve more deeply into the history of the island spices and the inÀuence of Chinese and Arab traders. The collection of stories and spices will be used for a project called Di Ufuk Timur, comprising videos and local recipes for digital media programs and for Foodventure, a culinary travel show hosted by himself and Noha Almadani. If Chef Rahung’s name is not yet well-known in the home of every food-lover or culture hound in Indonesia, without a doubt, it ought to be.

KOPI Classical Taste from Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra

By Ayu Spicy Ingredients:

Spiced Saffron Vinegar Makes 3 cups I keep this on hand in my fridge door and use a dash of it whenever I need to brighten a dish or need an interesting flavor twist. It’s great in salad dressings, over greens or other vegetables, on fish, or use your imagination. While saffron is expensive there’s no substitute for its exquisite flavor and this vinegar will keep for a long time.

- 1 1/2 cups water - 1 1/2 cups rice vinegar - 1/4 tsp. saffron threads (you can buy these at Dijon) - 1/2 tsp. dried red chili pepper flakes - 1 Tbl. sea salt - 1/2 tsp. black pepper corns - 1 smashed clove of garlic Directions: Put all the ingredients into a pot and bring to a simmer. Take off the heat to cool. Once it’s cold pour into a bottle along with the spices and garlic and let it marry for a few days before using. You can keep this in the fridge for months. Happy Creating!

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

The Tastes of Malaysia! Malaysia has many different ethnic origins, centuries of migration from neighbouring countries has resulted in many different cuisines merging into what is now everyday Malaysian. Tiger Palm brings them all to you on one menu. Indian, Chinese, Thai and the odd English touch all add to the indigenous Malay. The early settlers from China, especially the traders from the Malacca Straits merged their own cuisines with that of Malay forming what today is referred to as Nyonya cuisine. This is the 4th Bali restaurant from the Sarong Group [the 7th in S.E.Asia] and chef/owner Will Meyrick has once again achieved what for most is impossible, a full restaurant from day one! His constant exploration of the cuisines of Asia is fully on show, but once again it is some of the Thai influenced dishes that stand out! Since Will Meyrick first arrived in Bali [Husk at the ex Sofitel, Seminyak] he has insisted on presenting all dishes as they should be, not sweetened to the taste of the un-adventurous tourist. He cooks Thai, Thai! And he does the same for all other cuisines. It works! At each of his previous restaurants Will has always produced a Salmon Salad, that has immediately become one of his signature dishes. All were excellent but this one is unique. All are Thai influenced. In fact I can think of no better way to begin any Asian meal than with a Thai salad, the refreshingly hot and sour taste really gets those taste buds working. Cubes of salmon are just seared then tossed with paper-thin cucumber strips, onion, chilli and mint, sprinkled throughout with sesame seeds. On top are strips of salmon skin that have been fried till crisp, crunchy! All Thai salads use fresh sweet fruit to balance the chilli, in this one pineapple segments perform that task admirably. The ingredients are perfectly balanced, the trademark of a true professional [pictured]. The other salads are also excellent if you can drag yourself away from the salmon option, which I find difficult to do. A Malay Rojak [with green guava, mango, rose apple and yam bean], an Indian Rojak [prawn fritters and fried dumplings with potato, egg, cucumber and tofu], and the Nyonya Bihun [prawn, ginger flower, mint and dried coconut] offer a smorgasbord of refreshing salads. Chinese dim sum have become a standard in just about every menu in S.E. Asia, as Spanish tapas have on many

western menus. They certainly have in Malaysia. Char Sui Pork Buns, Har Gow, Cheong Fun [rice noodle rolls] stuffed with prawn or braised shredded beef are all great to snack on. Jalan Alor is very different, smoked chicken wings with a belacan sambal [fish paste]. The curries on offer are mostly seafood. Prawns can be Kandar, from Penang in the north, strongly flavoured with okra, fenugreek [the wonder spice], black pepper and curry leaves, or Siamese [pineapple, Kaffir lime, Thai basil and coconut milk]. Fish curries are headed by an original Nyonya with coconut milk, curry powder, okra and freshly chopped coriander. Asam Rebus is a sour fish curry with cauliflower, banana blossom, ginger flower and laksa leaf.

The great Chinese fish dishes are all invariably steamed. Here they do a whole fish with sour plum or with picked lime, garlic and green chilli. Otak-Otak is Malay but this uses banana leaf to wrap the minced fish in after being spiced with Thai basil, betel leaves and coconut.

Street Food is always to the forefront on any Will Meyrick menu, at Tiger Palm it has its own little section; a Chicken Leg from the tandoor with or without chilli, Fish marinated in green chilli, coriander, mint, yoghurt or Duck roasted with gailan and plum sauce. Many stir fries but for me the Asam Usang was very special, very large prawns cooked with garlic, chilli, tamarind, mustard seed and curry leaves. A typical WM special, a mouthful of taste! Early morning, late afternoon after lunch, and after 11.00 p.m, at the bar Tiger Palm also offers snacks, their Kopitiam menu. All the restaurants that Will Meyrick has set up all have similar Asian menus, yet all are uniquely different. The one standard is the incredible balance he achieves using so many different ingredients, they make one total taste yet all can be identified. My only ‘complaint’ at Tiger Palm was about the waiter asking if I wanted ‘spicy’ or ‘moderate’ [another word for non-traditional tourist junk food]! I am sorry but if you leave out or reduce the quantity of any ingredient then you have immediately altered the great balance of the dish, which is the reason why you came here in the first place! It is all these extreme taste sensations that make Asian food so exciting. Just do what they do; order contrasting and complementing dishes then eat from them, on rotation, all at the same time, interspersed with a spoonful of rice between each. Tiger Palm is a winner, that man has done it again!

Update Biku is one of those places that everyone knows. Going past on Jln. Petitenget there is one stand-out feature; the car park at front is always full, and double parked [they also offer valet parking]. A sure sign that inside someone is doing something right! In fact at Biku they are doing many things right. The place is known as a tea house, just about the only real one in Bali, offering over 50 different teas, some of which are rare and aged [just like premium wines]. Biku is also an excellent restaurant whether you want to experience one of their many High Teas [cucumber sandwiches and all], an in-betweenmealtime snack or a relaxed lunch or evening meal, For me, when in the area, Biku is also a favourite stopping place for breakfast, which however is available all day, as it should be. All the standards are available [the ever popular Bacon & Eggs], a few very healthy options; Dragon Fruit Smoothie with chia seeds, goji berries and black currants added, Smashed Avocado on sourdough or a Greens and Grains Bowl with red and white quinoa, brown rice, spinach and dukkah rolled egg. Something different are the Corn Cakes [with avocado salsa], Poached Eggs [on chive and cheddar buttermilk scones], Potato Cakes [topped with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and chive béarnaise] or Indian Lentil Crepes [with chutney, spiced coconut and yoghurt]. But it is one of the new additions to the menu that fascinates me. Direct from Northern Africa [via Israel] is Shakshuka, a pan full of spicy tomato and peppers indented with a couple of eggs. It arrives in the pan with a basket of bread and it is eaten by dipping the bread into the pan mix, wonderful!

Luna Roofbar @ L Hotel, Jln Petitenget, Kerobokan, is offering a special Easter Sunday Brunch [March 27] from 9.00 a.m. till 3.00 p.m. All you can eat, with free flow special Bloody Marys, for just Rp. 280,000 p.p. net. Start with your choice of many different breads [even a walnut raisin] or toast and jams followed by breakfast cereal. 2 Eggs [poached, fried or boiled] with ham or bacon, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms or you can order from the kitchen an Eggs Benedict, White Egg Omelette or Japanese Scrambled [with seaweed, prawns and avocado]. For something different; French toast, pancakes or waffles, and for the vegetarians; Potato Patties with mushrooms or Rice Porridge. Warung Ongan Asri serves classic Indonesian specializing in seafood dishes. It is located on Jln. Noja Saraswati in Denpasar. The seafood is all grilled, the so-called ‘Jimbaran style, the prawns split but still in their shells, so easy to pull out with your fork. All the seafood is served with three different sambals; merah, matah and kecap. They especially cater for family groups and have set menu banquets for 5, 10, 15 or 20 persons, as well as ones for lone diners. All the menu items are very reasonably priced. Nebula is a trendy café in the old tourist area of Poppies Lane II, Kuta. Different from the rest it serves great coffee and a range of breakfasts, brunch, snacks and light meals. The cuisine is mostly Asian but also with many western dishes with Asian touches. Healthy breakfasts, wraps, burgers, etc. The Quinoa Salad is very healthy, the ‘Thai’ Beef Salad is not very Thai, served with lettuce [no lettuce in Thailand]. Bruschettas, Spaghetti and Sandwiches. The Asian menu includes a Korean Kimchi Fried Rice, a Korean Spicy BBQ Pork and Thai Fried Rice with pork belly. From Indonesia the usual Spring Rolls, Nasi & Mie Gorengs and a range of satays. The Thai Chicken Laksa is a mystery, chicken tights’ I think they mean chicken thighs, and ‘Thai’ Laksa? Laksa is a Peranakan dish from a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisines…I have never heard of a Thai version?

Plump prawns deep-fried in a light batter and coated with a sticky honey and sesame seed sauce. They are very easy to eat, just the tails left on so you can use your fingers if you do not want to struggle with the chopsticks. Honey Prawn is also the name of a new Chinese restaurant on Jln. Cok Agung Tresna in the Renon food loop. Well that is what you are supposed to think! In fact it is just the old, failed, Red Bean restaurant with a name change and a few new dishes added. Honey Prawns, of course, feature among the new items as does just about everything else with honey; eggplant, long beans, squid, fish and even Kangkung [water spinach]. There is also a version of Hainanese Chicken Rice. Peking Duck is available but very non traditional, even a Kung Pao Peking Duck, if that is possible.

Mar 20 - Sun

Tresna it is an impressive building with ample car parking, the air-conditioned restaurant, with an outdoor terrace, is upstairs. Their cuisine in fact is mainly Indonesian, although often with innovative variations, with borrowings from many other Asian cuisines, and a few experimental ‘fusion’ combinations. Nasi Goreng Gudeg [fried rice with young jack fruit], Sop Buntut Arsik [a hot and sour version]. One of their specialty dishes is from Aceh, Ayam Tangkap, not as spicy as most dishes from that region and pleasantly flavoured with the crisp curry leaves with which it is cooked.

XO Suki is a Javanese group of traditional Chinese restaurants. They already had two

Apr 03 - Sun

outlets in Bali [Renon and Bali Mall Galeria] and they have now taken over the site on Sunset Road, Kuta, that was once the ill-fated Chinoisserie which whilst offering what was arguably the best Chinese food in Bali remained empty for many years. XO Suki combines the offerings of two famous Surabaya restaurants, XO Suki [serving traditional Chinese Steamboat] and XO Cuisine [an a la carte menu combining true Chinese and Indonesian style Chinese dishes]. The all day dining menu offers many popular dishes. Pangsit [deep-fried prawn or chicken dumplings] are a common starting point. Chicken can be with ginger, garlic, Kung Pao or even Mongolian style. Soft Shell Crabs are offered in many different versions, including one with XO sauce, not very surprising! Basic fish, squid and prawn dishes are also available at very reasonable prices. Roast Pork in true Hong Kong [Cantonese] style is a specialty of the house.

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS NIGHTS WITH BETELNUT It’s great to see the inspired range of activity nights in the planning with Betel Nut Restaurant, on Jalan Raya Ubud. As they boast, they are a concert venue, an event venue and a great social club! As well as creative fundraisers for a variety of projects – the last one being the recent Fiji cyclone recovery effort – we are also being treated to great musical events – such as the Ronaldgang band’s special tribute to the Legendary Jimi Hendrix, a week or so ago. Betelnut’s organisers are also unearthing some great ¿lms, putting on an extraordinary series of Classic Film nights, and ¿nding the very best of current documentary ¿lms too, – often with an introduction and discussion by the ¿lmmaker. I know that they are really keen to keep in tune with what Ubud locals and visitors want, so if you have a project on the go, a cause you want to fundraise for, or a movie you’d just love to show your friends, contact them! Find them at Betelnut Bali on Facebook. GREEN VISIT Actually, it’s a must. If you haven’t had a look recently, or if you are looking for somewhere to take a visiting friend, Bali’s Green School is a great choice. What they’ve achieved during the ups and downs of the past eight or so years in extraordinary. Aside from the many special occasions – musical, environmental, entrepreneurial and dramatic events - that this international school puts on for the wider community each year, Green School is a great place to walk around. It’s an outstanding example of what can be achieved – from dream to reality – on this island. One of my friends said recently that Green School makes you wish you were six again; it’s an eco-built establishment constructed from bamboo – those teachers are grooming the eco leaders of the future in style! Tours of the school run everyday at 2.45pm, and there are also regular classes at the Kulkul permaculture farm, located at the school/s western entrance on Jalan Raya Gerih. There you can learn more about gardening, sustainability, education and earth-friendly living. More information from www.kulkulfarmbali.com, or www.greenschool.org, or by phoning +62 361 469875.

There’s always a new seafood dish to try, plus a choice of Indonesian, Balinese and international favourites. And then the restaurant’s patrons don their dancing shoes for an evening of salsa and cha cha, with one of Bali’s favourite Latino bands. YOGA TRIP TO INDIA

INTENSIVE BALI CULTURE Bookings are already coming in from talented international musicians and dancers for this year ’s UCLA Cudamani Summer Institute, to be held in Ubud in June-July.

Many of our readers have already experienced the delight of joining an unforgettable yoga retreat in a breathtaking location? After all, Bali is one of the world’s great yoga destinations.

Last year’s participants included Balinese and Tahitian dancer Rika Traxler, now a consultant for Disney’s new Moana movie.

Here’s another extraordinary opportunity. At the end of the year, world-renowned and Bali-based yoga teacher, Linda Madani will lead a Yoga Pranala Retreat in India.

Cudamani’s teachers – many of whom began with this cultural group as children - have won countless awards for their performance. They are expected to work to international standards with regard to things like punctuality and communication, as well as artistic excellence. They themselves enhance their skills during the program, thanks to Cudamani’s commitment to bringing in some of Indonesia’s most famous master teachers, such as Pak Nyoman Cerita and living legend master dancer, Ibu Ketut Arini.

Under the guidance of the gentle, wise and experienced Linda, this will be a truly magical event - a unique occasion to reveal and release your inner treasures and to discover the beauty of magical and exotic India.

The Summer Institute is a three-week intensive program that immerses participants in the music, dance and culture of Bali, with a structure that builds a sense of community while

Based in Bali for many years now, Linda has more than 20 years experience in leading yoga retreats, and nothing but praise (and repeat students) from previous encounters.

But let’s get down to the food! A sampling of Arif’s raw cuisine began with a delightful glass of jamu, the familiar turmeric tonic that ¿ghts free radicals, especially if taken every day. Arif points out the connection of jamu with the 8 directions in Hindu dharma. “In nature, each direction has a deity and a jamu,” he explains. “If you see the body as a temple, you know to bring it balance. Prayer, wisdom, and health: all are [equally] important.”

Ubud’s Arif Springs: Renewing the Village of Obat Renee Thorpe In the lead up to the Ubud Food Festival (27-29 May), Bali Advertiser will be showcasing chefs and restaurants who form part of the island’s vibrant culinary community. In this article, writer Renee Thorpe chats to chef Arif Springs of Taksu Spa, who will be hosting a raw food workshop as part of the Festival. Tickets for the event will be on sale in midApril, via the Ubud Food Festival website. Nestled in the heart of Ubud, yet miraculously off its beaten pathways, lies Taksu Spa, a destination within our storied village of ancient medicine, healing waters and mystical culture. Featuring a café and a restaurant, an alternative healing center, and even villa accommodation, Taksu quietly came onto the scene a few years ago and is now realizing its vision as a resource for holistic health. Utilizing an aquaponics garden within raw food restaurant Fresh, Taksu offers regular workshops in the preparation and enjoyment of a raw diet including Indonesian medicinal plants and foods. The Sanskrit word taksu could be succinctly (if somewhat incompletely) de¿ned as divine inspiration. Many may seek taksu, some may try to make a holiday around it, but Fresh Chef Arif Springs found his calling in the taksu of Bali’s botanical bounty. Arif’s Sundanese grandmother was a folk healer and medicine woman. She would treat his childhood cuts and injuries by applying poultices of rice and kencur, a root with proven healing properties. The forest and ¿eld were her medicine chest, and she knew how to properly prepare the raw ingredients. Arif explains that the toxic properties of a plant such as mahkota dewa must be boiled out to turn it into a powerful antioxidant, and quite a bit of expertise is needed to handle such botanicals safely. Even Big Pharma con¿rms the ef¿cacy of Grandmother’s blend of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, and such products as TamiÀu owe

their miracles to the dried spices long used by indigenous healers. It would take a journey through culinary school and 5 star kitchens to bring Arif full circle and champion his nenek’s ancient knowledge from the standpoint of a top chef. Having mastered ¿ne western cooking in Jakarta, Arif saw Ubud as an important emerging food destination. His ¿rst immersion in an organic kitchen was Sari Organik. Today, with Sea Bass as the one non-veg option in a near-macrobiotic kitchen, Chef Arif is a leader in Ubud’s raw food movement. “Local people understand the principle of harmony but they don’t [connect that to] the nutrition of a raw food diet,” Arif tells me. “Too many Indonesians are eating fried foods and getting a bad gut from eating meat. Balance [applies] to how you treat your body.” Arif begins a tour of Fresh with an explanation of aquaponics, an ingenious construction of Taksu’s specially ¿ltered water, ¿sh tanks (for fertilization), local stones, PVC pipes and raised beds. Thai basil, tomatoes, and parsley thrive here. Unlike hydroponics, no chemicals are used at any stage. In true holistic fashion, diners are seated in comfortable booths and tables right amongst the beds, with haricot vines making ¿ligreed screens of green. I recognized a few of my own garden residents as features of Taksu’s tidy patch of living medicines. Kumis kucing is an important parasite killer, and yet it can be seen thriving in the island’s vacant lands, or in driveway cracks, its pillars of tiny white Àowers reaching for the sky. Supplementing the wealth of produce brought in daily from local organic farms, the Taksu garden serves as a compelling demonstration of what anyone with the tiniest patch of land can do to help allay the effects of development.

Arif says that when the ¿ve Chinese elements (wood, ¿re, earth, metal and water) are balanced, the spirit can be addressed. He sees a direct relationship between Bali’s reverence for water and the body’s physical need for pure water on the farm and in the diet. Taksu’s own water puri¿cation plant ensures that absolutely no chemicals are making their way into the systems of the plants, either in the medicinal garden one side of our table, or in the aquaponics to the other side. Chef Arif opens the menu, remarking that Italian and Mexican cuisine have their own raw dishes. So I tried the Enchiladas and the Living Lasagne. These came plated beautifully with a satisfying mixed salad on the side. The distinctive Àavors of each main would surely win over even a hopeless meat-and-potato man. Arif’s own sundried tomatoes and the lasagna layer of richly spiced sunÀower seeds were revelations on the palate, as complex in Àavor as any processed condiment and far more nutritious. Everything our waitress brought to table was vibrant and alluring, freshly cut and assembled in keeping with the slow food tradition. Crunchy Pumpkin Seed salad was enhanced by slices of coconut “bacon”, one of Arif’s proudest creations. His patented anxiety buffer, the Cucumber Seaweed Avocado salad, arrived as a huge Aussie style bowl of dressed greens (from sea and ¿eld) with a touch of local chilis to give it a robust kick. Arif waxed philosophical, if practical. “Even if you can’t get yourself through a detox program, all bodies need more nutrition. Tourists coming here already know [a lot about the bene¿ts of raw food] but Indonesians are now slowly ¿nding out. Not just yogis but ordinary people.” What will Arif bring to the Ubud Food Festival next month? “I’m thinking of demonstrating my almond satay,” he enthuses. A proven wizard with tree nuts, seeds and pulses, he’ll surely produce a winner!

An Indulgent Spa Experience That Won’t Break The Bank with body treatments and therapies speciﬁcally designed to do just that!

The term ‘spa’ tends to be bandied about with gay abandon in Bali, often used to describe either less than impressive locales which do little to enhance one’s sense of health and wellbeing, or lavishly styled shrines to beauty designed to reduce your bank balance rather than your stress. Sampling numerous such establishments over the years, I had come to the conclusion that spas offering discerning quality and affordability were few and far between until I ventured into Body Temple Spa. Located in a quiet corner of The Canggu Club, with a sister spa at Semara Uluwatu Luxury Villa Resort, Body Temple Spa epitomizes accessible luxury. With the perfect balance of quality products and exquisite treatments at an affordable price point, guests are guaranteed a high end experience that will leave them refreshed and revitalized with their bank balance intact. The spa uses all natural and eco-certiﬁed products from Themae, a Paris based company priding itself on the professional and stringently controlled development of quality cosmetics holding the promise of results and total wellbeing. As their comprehensive spa menu suggests, Body Temple aims to detox, rejuvenate, relax and energise

Themae products utilise the wonder of tea and all of its healing qualities. With over 30% polyphenols and the highest known concentration of antioxidants, tea plant extracts contribute to slowing the signs of aging, neutralising those free radicals that destroy collagen and elastin over time. These active properties from the four varieties of tea (green, black, white and red) along with a blend of spring water create the elixirs that form the base of Themae’s cosmetic preparations, all of which are produced under strict control in France so you can rest assured there is no compromise on quality! However it is not merely the green, white, red and black tea elixir based balms and facial and body treatments which provide the basis of this exotic spa experience. Wayan, Director of Spa and Wellness and a veteran of many years experience working in internationally acclaimed spas across the globe, insists staff have undergone over 200 hours of training from Themae itself in order to ensure clients receive an holistic experience encompassing age old Asian techniques, elegance of movement and ﬂuidity in each and every treatment. Experience the ultimate in relaxation with the Themae Nepalese Tea Body Exfoliation or the 90 minute Asian Fusion Massage. Revitalise sagging skin with their Reverse Aging Ritual Facial - a non invasive treatment which utilises sophisticated massage techniques and traditional tools designed to ﬁrm the skin so you can emerge looking like a new you! Even better is the fact that you have the opportunity to continue looking fabulous by purchasing

Choose from ﬂavours the likes of crowd favourite, Lemon Meringue Pie. Detrimental to any diet, this irresistible concoction not only contains crunchy crumble topped with swirls of lightly toasted meringue, the kicker is the syringe of lemon curd on the side so you can add a little extra zing. Flavours rotate regularly and the Seminyak Village store generally offers around 6 to 7 choices each week. Select from sure ﬁre winners like Honey Cheesecake, Vanilla Beanie, Nutella Ella Ella (hello Ferrero Rocher), Peppermint Choc Chip and one that has to be a Bali fave, Roasted Coconut Cream.

Granted, it is a bit outside our ‘Gu demographic, but these glacial treats are too good not to mention! Employing the incredible properties of liquid nitrogen, Nitrogenie has joined the latest craze in designer desserts, setting up their newest ice cream parlour at Seminyak Village. The brain child of Aussie dudes Matthew Bailey and Steve Minon, Nitrogenie ﬁrst appeared a few years ago in Hastings Street, Noosa QLD before the catchy concept was franchised and taken offshore. Stores are now to be found not only in Australia, but also in Thailand, Hawaii, the UK and now Bali, thanks to Nitrogenie franchisees for Indonesia, Canggu residents, Tim and Angela Tracy. And I am sooooo glad they did!

If you live, work, have a business or just have some exciting news about this area then we want to hear from you!

their cleverly designed liquid nitrogen dispensing system, the freezing agent is ‘plumbed’ into the mixers to ensure metered doses and no ‘overpours’ as well as maintaining safer handling procedures for employees. Because the liquid nitrogen (at a temp of around -200 degrees celsius) chills the ingredients so rapidly, it does not allow time for ice crystals to form, resulting in one super smooth sundae! Sounds pretty straightforward and to be honest, the LN ice cream concept has been around for a while but it’s the unique Nitrogenie flavours that will keep you coming back. Due to the absence of any anti melting agents or artificial flavourings, their ice creams taste like the real thing because they use real food! Sure, that might mean you find it dripping down your fingers a little faster than your regular ice confections but I’ll warrant it won’t be an issue. This stuff is soooo good, you’ll be licking your spoon at light speed.

Stand out favourite is the Salty Caramelly Popcorn - a wicked buttery cream with that sharp salty edge, mixed with Lolly Gobble Bliss Bomb style popcorn crunch. Efforts to resist are pointless as one taste will ensure any remnants of resolve are out the window! Nitrogenie is fast becoming a favourite among residents and tourists with any semblance of a sweet tooth and it’s a cinch to see why. Located on the ground ﬂoor of the swanky Seminyak Village, it is impossible to miss with a funky ﬁt out and staff attired in gelato colours. Open 7 days a week, call in and conduct a taste test today. Your waistline might might not thank me but your taste buds will be eternally grateful!

Work Off All Those Easter Choccies With JSA Holiday Camps Hey Kids! It might not necessarily be the best of beach weather over Easter but there’s no excuses for boredom when the Junior Sports Academy is on the case. Once The Bunny has been and you’ve scoffed all of your choccies, make way for some holiday fun with the JSA’s two weeks of holiday camps scheduled to commence from Monday March 28th through to Friday April 8th. But this time there is a slight shift in focus from their regular 5 day intensive camps which usually focus on a particular sport for the duration of that week. The Junior Sports Academy understands that not all kids are sports fanatics keen to hone their skills and many may simply want to enjoy some activity based entertainment which touches on a variety of different sporting experiences. It is with this in mind that they have designed a two week program of multi sports and games whereby each day

showcases a different line up of activities set to guarantee entertainment and expend all of that extra energy (perhaps from an Easter chocolate sugar rush or three!)

with Dodgeball, Soccer, Gymnastics, Tennis, Trampolining and Ten Pin Bowling as well as some slide action at Splash Water Park.

This is ideal for those wishing to attend the camps over the course of the week as there’s no chance for boredom with such a diverse agenda. It’s also perfect for anyone who wants to drop in for a day here and there. Simply check the daily camp schedule online at the Canggu Club website on: jsabali.com to ﬁnd out what’s in store for that day and if it takes your fancy, turn up at Canggu Club reception by 9.15am and register for a day of play!

Daily sessions run from 9.15am (sign in) until 3pm, Monday to Friday throughout the Easter holiday period and include a healthy lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea. Camps are fully supervised by trained and experienced sporting professionals so you know your children are in safe hands and the secure environment of The Canggu Club ensures parental peace of mind.

Designed to entertain children from ages 6 to 17 years, the JSA multi sports holiday camps encourage active participation across a whole gamut of team sports, fun and games. Scheduled activities cover indoor and outdoor options and include relative newcomer, TAG Rugby along

With prices as little as Rp 400,000 net per day (drop in rate for Canggu Club members) and just Rp 580K for non members including meals, it’s child minding money well spent for time poor parents! In keeping with the holiday spirit, the Junior Sports Academy has sweetened the deal this Easter with a ‘Buy 5 days, pay for 4’ offer which means you can keep kids clear of the ipads and iphones for the week from only Rp 1,600,000 (members) and Rp 2,320,000 for non members. Plan ahead these holidays and ensure that the kids’ entertainment is covered by booking them into the JSA Holiday Program. For bookings or further information, please go to their website: jsabali.com or email them on: jsa@cangguclub.com Camp numbers are limited so get in early to secure your spot today.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Jakarta: 25 Excursions by Andrew Whitmarsh & Melanie Wood With its horrendous traf¿c, pollution and few conventional tourist attractions, few people visit Jakarta by choice. We are usually made to go there. Jakarta is a huge metropolis with a daytime population of over 12 million, which can initially be overwhelming for the visitor. Happily, the authors of an inspiring guide have come to the rescue by dividing the city into 25 bite-sized chunks, carefully arranged in chapters for north, central and south Jakarta, each a colorful mini-adventure of its own. Jakarta: 25 Excursions is the only Indonesia travel book necessary for getting around Jakarta. Everything you need is in one convenient package - including a large pullout map of the city in a pocket at the back. This guide is for those who want to see more of Jakarta than just the obvious tourist highlights, for example the attractions mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide. With a bit of patience and a go-with-the-Àow attitude, you’ll be able to enjoy sightseeing at reasonable cost a city that is actually a microcosm of the incredible diversity of Indonesia, conveniently packed into one eastern corner of Java. Linking over 500 activities and attractions into half-day and full-day excursions, this is the ¿rst in-depth travel book on Jakarta that tells you where to go, what to do and how to get there in order to maximize your appreciation of the city. Following the authors’ advice will not always be easy, but it will almost always be an adventure. The mostly walking tours in and around Jakarta described in such wonderful detail are essentially short stories in their own right. The attractions listed include many you will seldom ¿nd in any other guidebook, ranging from heritage architecture and museums and all kinds of markets, parks and nearby islands through to maritime and historical sites of North Jakarta, the culturally rich back streets and maze of alleyways of central Jakarta as well as the peaceful parks and family attractions in the south. Five additional tours outside the city explore mountains, lakes and beaches within easy reach of the capital. Not since Historical Sites of Jakarta by Adolf Heuken (Cipta Loka Caraka 1983) has Jakarta been researched and documented so exhaustively. A tattered dog-eared copy of that venerable book sits in my library, used ceaselessly in research and on foot excursions over the years. But Heuken’s book concerned itself mostly with colonial buildings, churches, residences, museums, monuments, cemeteries, neighborhoods, etc. Published more than three decades ago, it does not cover the new and vibrant sites of contemporary Jakarta. Tours in Jakarta: 25 Excursions take in high adventure-scuba diving, paragliding, rock climbing, micro lighting, horse riding as well as more traditional visits to art galleries, museums, parks and temples. Special interest tours include history walks, urban art walks and wet and dry market walks, many unseen by the vast majority of visitors and probably unknown by many long-term residents. Each chapter gives you the walk length, degree of dif¿culty and age suitability, so you know exactly what you are getting into before you start. Illustrated with 40 maps and 225 color photographs, each tour comprises a description of the neighborhood’s key attractions, fun facts, cultural and historical background and advice on how to get to the starting point, the time it will take, followed by a step-by-step guide through the walk itself. Straightaway it needs to be stated that this is not the conventional dime-a-dozen guidebook of where to stay, where to eat and where to shop. So before even using the book, you should already have made your way to the city and found a place to stay or live. Then when you’re ready to get out and really start to get to know Jakarta and its people, begin by exploring the pages of this comprehensive guide. Jakarta has a large expat population, obviously the guide’s main readership target because of its detail and depth of coverage. While the book is meant mainly for foreign residents, it’s still very useful for those tourists interested in exploring Jakarta in depth who may want to

use Lonely Planet’s Indonesia guide as a supplement for its recommendations on transport, travel agencies, routes, accommodations, restaurants, etc.

For Sale; Rarity. 70year old Bezar compass. Still in good condition. For collectors only. Sanur. Please call Michael 081 2395 1444. [030] For Sale; 2 webcameras (MS and HP) as new. For 400.000 Rp. Please contact Michael. 081 2395 1444. Denpasar. [031]

But the guide is jam-packed with practical tips and helpful general information on what to wear, what to bring, travelling around the city, anecdotes on the street life, “heads up” on local customs and do’s and don’ts, how to deal with the local folks, common Indonesian phrases, how to greet the local people you encounter as you explore the back lanes off the beaten path or re-explore favorite neighborhoods with new insights. Touring Jakarta is recommended on the weekends, as traf¿c jams (macet) make the streets pure gridlock on weekdays. To get to the different start points, hop on a local bajaj or use the taxis on the inner city jalan tol (toll roads). One whole page lists the many reasonable objections to using public transportation, each dutifully acknowledged and then dismissed. Suggested links with helpful supplementary information are also included. The large detailed foldout citywide map of Jakarta in a pocket at the back is excellent (it can be laminated to extend its life). One 1: 30,000 scale side shows West, Central and North Jakarta; the other side, also 1: 30,000 scale, shows South and East Jakarta. It would have been useful had the map been expanded to show the airport area. This removable map slips easily into a handbag or back pocket. This soft-backed guide measures 13.5 X 21 cm, is a little over 1.5 cm thick and is bound in a cover tough enough to take some punishment.

Written by resident expert Andrew Whitmarsh, a travel and adventure writer who has been exploring and writing about Jakarta for years. Raised on bear attack survival books, Andrew viewed his initial move to this urban jungle as a survivalist’s challenge in which he brought all his instincts to the fore. He has ridden atop trains, joined street protests, seen a ghost, experienced ¿re therapy and had needles stuck in his head-all for the sake of experiencing Jakarta to the full. Jakarta-based co-author British-born Melanie Wood is a freelance photojournalist. Her fascinating blog, ‘Gangs of Indonesia,’ spiced up with a lot of colorful dialog, tells some of the stories behind the photographs in this book. Melanie moved to Indonesia because she liked the shape of it on the map. Her blog, started in 2010, gives Melanie deniability and a handy excuse to eavesdrop and observe among the gang (narrow street) of the city.

Jakarta: 25 Excursions makes exploring Jakarta on foot safe, fun and easy. It will help you make sense of the apparent chaos. The authors are not only clearly very well informed about Jakarta, but their writing style is laid-back, playful and entertaining. The book is particularly recommended for anyone already living in Jakarta who intends to settle in the city for an extended time. It would also make a well-chosen gift for an expat friend who will be arriving in Jakarta for the ¿rst time to ease their transition from overseas, to a business client to welcome him or her to the city, or even up the professional game of a tour guide specializing in Jakarta. This indispensable guide doggedly and tirelessly attempts, and ultimately succeeds, in dispelling the notion that “there is nothing to do in Jakarta except go to the malls.” Jakarta: 25 Excursions In and Around the Indonesian Capital by Andrew Whitmarsh, photographs by Melanie Wood, Tuttle Publishing 2012, ISBN 978-080-484-2242, paperback, 224 pages, dimensions 20.5 cm X 13.5 cm.

SCHEDULE THAT Bali Spirit Festival (29 March – 3 April) March is a great month ¿rstly with Nyepi. I am sure everyone had a well-rested and peaceful Nyepi. It has to be one of Bali’s best days, such peace and tranquility when all the hustle and bustle grinds to a halt and we take time to rest, reÀect or take a trip from the island. The morning after is especially beautiful as the air is so clean and fresh! As we move towards the end of March the Bali Spirit Festival descends on us yet again. It has to be one of Bali’s favourite festivals calling all creative souls from the ¿elds of yoga, music, art and dance to participate in a series of superb events and activities each day. There are events into the night, music concerts, family activities and plenty for the kids. There are simply too many to mention here so do check out the website below as it offers comprehensive information and locations too. Passes are available for evenings, days and the whole event. The Bali Spirit Festival has something for everybody and is well worth a visit. Cost : from USD26 to USD859 Contact : ask@balispiritfestival.com sales@balispiritfestival.com www.balispiritfestival.com

Blissed Out Bali Retreat (3 – 10 April) I think most of us are blissed out in Bali but sometimes we are under the same pressures as everyone else in terms of a hectic work schedule and children to look after. It is sometimes nice to just get away from it all and this is what these retreats have to offer. This is an only women event and it is always great to meet other like minded people. The aim is to work out a self-care plan that you can take home with you and incorporate into your daily life. This retreat is centred on mind and body wellness and is led by experienced and knowledgeable guides in their ¿eld. The retreat includes accommodation, meals, cooking classes, tours, a body treatment and lots more as mentioned in the website. As I am writing I am informed there are only two spots available so I do hope our readers get lucky! All the information including locations and times are on the website below. Just in case you want to take a trip out of Bali, Blissed Out Retreats have retreats in lots of exotic places mentioned on their website. Contact : blissedoutretreats.com

Cubby House Creative Cooking Classes (2 and 11 April) Spring or autumn is de¿nitely here depending on which side of the hemisphere you live on and of course here in Bali hopefully the dry season should set in soon. April traditionally starts with April Fool’s Day on 1 April and that is the theme for the April Fool’s Green Eggs and Ham cooking class inspired no doubt by the fabulous Dr Zeus books. Children are welcome to come along and get involved in some fabulous creations. The following week homemade playdough will be the focus. As an educator I could write pages of the educational bene¿ts of playdough for young children but needless to say the children will have a lot of fun on both these dates. When Cost Where Contact

ed on 22 April each year, the birthday of Ibu Kartini. Ibu Kartini left a legacy behind before her untimely death at the age of 25 but not before she was able to inÀuence the education of girls and women’s rights in Indonesia. The luncheon is a celebration of Hari Kartini and the dress code is Indonesia National Dress or a touch of Indonesia. Indonesia has a rich heritage when it comes to the beautiful batik and stunning Kebayas part of the traditional dress worn by women across the archipelago. Yayasan Rama Sesan will be the bene¿ciary of the luncheon who organize the clinic at the Badung Market which catered to approximately 5,000 people daily not only from Bali but also Java and Lombok. Sadly the Badung market is now closed due to the ¿re damage caused on 29 February. The clinic was badly damaged and YRS are looking for a temporary home for the clinic to allow their programmes to continue and help the people close to the market. A mini bazaar has been arranged and if you wish to have a table it costs a small fee of IDR150,000. All funds raised will be given to Yayasan Rama Sesana so do come along and lend your support. It is a community event and families are invited to enjoy the lunch buffet situated in the Grand Ball Room, meet people and support this worth cause. It has all been organized by the amazing women who are members of the Bali International Women’s Association. When Cost Where Contact

Say What? Question: One night last week, I invited my boyfriend and two girlfriends over to play video games and watch a movie. I thought the evening went well until last night; my boyfriend told me that he had been bored on the evening the four of us got together, that he never wanted to hear again the name of the video game we were playing or the movie we had watched. He was blunt and hurtful, and I left and cried (rare). I felt as if I was a shitty person and a bad friend. I also self-harmed with a bread knife (really unusual, I self-harm only about once a year and just scratching). I’ve calmed down a bit now, although I don’t know what to do. I tried talking to my girlfriends. One wasn’t much help, and the other one gave me valuable venting space and e-hugs. I’ve been tempted to do some passive-aggressive bitchy things like take pictures of my wounds or sarcastically apologize while talking about the video games and movie, but I don’t think that will do any good. My boyfriend is chronically unreliable too, and it’s upsetting. Please help! Dr. ZZ: It’s not necessarily unreasonable that your boyfriend might not have liked the game you were playing or the movie you were watching. Ideally, however, he would have said something about it on the night you were together and suggested doing something else; or he could have left early if he wasn’t enjoying himself. To turn this into personal insults about you is not appropriate. What has my attention, however, is your disproportionate reaction to his comments. Self-harming because someone dislikes a particular video game or movie is a red flag. Taking his and your own negative emotions and channeling them into hurting yourself is a disproportionate response. Suggesting to do “passive-aggressive bitchy things” as a response to conflict, is also not emotionally healthy. Although it may not seem as if your wounds are something you chose to do in response to what he said - because you were obsessed at the time you were harming yourself and were in a slightly altered state - your wounds are not his fault. You cannot hold him responsible for your self-harming behavior. What you can do, however, is to get some counseling. The way you are processing and expressing emotion is a signal that there’s something you need to deal with it before it becomes a larger problem. You can’t control what another person does or will do, but you can learn to express yourself honestly and directly in hopes for the best. Perhaps the overall message of your boyfriend’s unreliable behavior and verbal cruelty is that he doesn’t want to be in relationship with you anymore, and he doesn’t know how to make a clean break. Whatever the case, it’s time you stop converting other people’s negative emotions and poor communication skills into mincemeat on your arm. Get yourself some help, and to learn how to deal with and channel your own emotional nature.

Question: My boyfriend lives and breathes philosophy. I love this about him even though I’m not that interested in philosophy myself. He likes to work out philosophical problems verbally; so when he talks about philosophy, he’s often talking at me rather than to me. When it’s just us, I generally let him go on for about 5 minutes and then ask him to change the subject, and we talk about something else. The problem is, he’ll sometimes do this with strangers. After the inevitable pleasantries of “What do you do?” and “What kind of philosophy?” he’ll go off in way too much detail while most people have only a passing curiosity in the matter. He’s aware of the problem and does a pretty good job of managing it, but sometimes he forgets. What’s a nice way for me to say, “No one’s interested, change the subject” without being rude or embarrassing him in front of others? Subtle cues don’t work once he gets going; he needs to be told straight up. We’ve talked about it, and he says to just say, “Stop talking,” but I feel as if that may make other people uncomfortable. So what’s a sensitive, socially appropriate way to say “You’re talking too much”? Or should I just go with “Stop talking,” and ignore what other people may think?

C/BT/I-02 March 16

Dr. ZZ: Next time you’re out with others, try something new, and stop managing how he interacts with them. As tempting as it may be, avoid assuming they’re bored or cutting him off because you fear no one is interested. Change the subject when you are bored, and own it. (“That’s enough philosophy for me tonight. ‘Seen any good movies lately?”) Or leave him to it, and go talk to other folks. You are almost always on the losing side of an argument when you start invoking what other people may think. You’re not your boyfriend’s keeper; you don’t have to answer for him to others. Others can speak up for themselves if they need to, and he can learn to check in with his audience to make sure they are enjoying what’s happening. You can always change the subject yourself, or excuse yourself for a bit while he gets it out of his system. Then again, you could develop an actual conversational safe phrase, like: “Do you think it’s going to rain? No, seriously, do you think it’s going to rain?” Chances are, though, that may not be any more subtle or polite than “Please stop talking.” Alas! Some people may just learn to never to ask your boyfriend about philosophy, and others will feel about him the way you do.

Mayong: Escaping to Bali’s Hinterlands The contrast between teeming south Bali and the green, languid rural way of life in the environs of Mayong village couldn’t be more striking. We traversed a land of papaya groves, towering palm trees, boulder-strewn rivers and seldom-trodden trails snaking through jungle and along irrigation canals. The small wood framed thatch roofed hamlets we walked through, full of chirps and buzzes, smelled deeply of the earthy countryside. We passed farmers carrying grass for livestock, rice farmers with conical shaped hats, yards of chickens and barking dogs guarding forest shacks with zinc roofs under nangka trees bearing heavy spiky swollen fruit. This verdant and pollution and noise free little patch of Bali is all the more remarkable because the start point is just 30 minutes and 19 km southwest of Lovina - the busy tourist hub of north Bali - and 2.5 hours from the frenetic Kuta-Seminyak strip. As you climb onward and upward to your destination far into the hills, passing many towns and villages off the grid, the atmosphere changes perceptibly, the cool air a refreshing break from the heat of the northern coastal areas. The walk itself is a gentle one suitable for everyone. The itinerary along an approximately 5 km path is well planned. The views are wonderful. There is plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. On the 3-3.5 hour walk we learned about food and its origins, what the leaves of specific trees are good for, uses of an amazing plethora of tropical fruit and medicinal plants that grow in Bali, how rice is grown and harvested, the irrigation and cultivation of other staples in the Balinese diet such as vegetables, herbs and fruits, as well as the fauna of the surroundings. We were in the capable hands of Putu Artana and his wife Ria, the welcoming founders of Mayong Village Tracking Experience’s “A Hidden Paradise Tour.” In this inspiring example of a community tourism initiative, guests from 7 to 67 years old take part, but all physically ¿t as parts of the hike can be strenuous. The exertion leaves participants hungry enough to devour the home cooked meal Ria has prepared at the end. Next door to Putu and Ria’s house is Villa Riang, a luxury villa with pool, staff, attentive service and superlative views of the mountains. Owners Robert and Miranda Boender (http:// balihomerent.com) arrived in Bali for the ¿rst time in 2010. They met Putu Artana and Ria the same year, becoming fast friends immediately. So enamored were the Dutch couple of the island and its people that they had the villa built by local workmen in 2011. Putu and Ria were put in charge of the construction, in this way contributing to the support of the local community. The concrete floor was manually laid by 50 villagers passing buckets of concrete hand over hand. After 9 months of hard work, the villa was of¿cially consecrated in a Balinese ceremony in 2012. Putu Artana, born in 1976, comes from a working class family. Ria was an orphan. As a child she sold sarongs on Lovina Beach, learning to speak English from tourists. Putu met Ria when he left his village to live and work in Lovina. They married

in 2002. After the Bali bomb the same year, they lost their jobs because of the severe downturn in tourism and the economy. They decided to return to Mayong village away from troubled Kuta and start a tour company to show visitors the beautiful forests, rice ¿elds and daily life around Mayong. Since starting their website in 2009, Putu and Ria’s Mayong Village Tracking Experience has offered a 2-day, one night tour, 3 day, 2-night tour and 4 day, 3-night tour. Their tours have it all and are one of best ways to learn about the culture, religion and way of life of the Balinese from a very personal, professional and passionate perspective. The easymoderate hike is also a great way to relax and refresh the mind and body at the same time. You will observe traditional family chores around the house and the routine of daily religious offerings and ceremonies. Putu and Ria’s delightful children Dede, Tio, Dian and Lily are a bonus. Putu’s knowledge and excellent English is coupled with an ability to describe in entertaining detail. He seems to know everybody. We stopped at a local farmer’s house surrounded by rice terraces. The farmer climbed a coconut tree to fetch coconuts to drink in his house while his wife refueled our group with sweet and savory homemade snacks: fried banana fritters, delicious pempeda, a sort of Balinese poppadom (mix of rice Àour, coconut and optional brown sugar) and other goodies before making the ¿nal trek back to the starting point. The walk is very good value. It culminates in a traditional meal of chicken satay, tofu, salad, corn fritters, chicken and vegetable soup, deep fried chicken, steamed chicken in banana leaf, rice and watermelon, all free of MSG and preservatives. Participants may go along with Ria to the local market to buy the fresh ingredients and vegetables in preparation for the lunch that incorporates authentic ingredients: turmeric, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, Salam leaf, onion, garlic, celery, coriander, nutmeg, kencur and lemon basil. Although everything apart from the trek could be organized yourself, it was a pleasure having someone make all the arrangements for transfers, meals and accommodations. We have been on other rice paddy walks and so had the belief that if you “you see one paddy, you see them all.” How this one stands apart is that you see them through the eyes of a Balinese. We will never look at rice the same way. And there is a personalized feel to the tour, meeting other travelers and the warm hospitality of our hosts. This side of Bali is not what the visitor usually glimpses. Though Mayong is evolving and city day-trippers and motorcyclists are starting to discover the laid-back area, it will be a good while before the traf¿c jams get here. Practicalities Mayong is 12 km from Lovina, 22 km from Bedugul, 35 km from Pemuteran, 45 km (two hours) from Ubud, 48 km from Canggu, 60 km from Ngurah Rai airport. The easiest approach is the scenic drive from Lovina, passing the Governor’s residence, and the villages of Bubunan, Ringdikit and Rangdu.

Be on the lookout for the left hand turnoff to Munduk, otherwise you will end up in Pupuan and miss Mayong altogether. In the Lovina area, the cost to rent a car per day (12 hours) is Rp250,000; scooter rental (12 hours) Rp60,000. Putu Artana and Ria, Mayong Village Tracking Experience, Jl. Mayong Busungbiu, Banjar Dinas Siwa, Desa Mayong, Kec. Seririt, Singaraja 81153. Call Putu tel. 082 340719-179 or Ria tel. 081338-355-660 for the best possible price. Info on “A Hidden Paradise Tour” can be found at: mayongtrackingexperience.com, email: ahidden_paradise@ hotmail.com. Package includes transfers, hike and lunch. Typical scenario: a driver will pick you up at 5:45 am-6 am in Kuta and you reach Mayong around 8:30 am, have a light breakfast, then start hiking around 9 am. If you happen to interest another like-minded couple, you’ll be able to share the cost of transportation. It’s recommended the trek be booked as soon as possible to make sure of availability. Numbers are limited so that hikers don’t cause disruption and everyone is able to obtain the best personal experience. Bring camera, sun cream, proper shoes, water and hat for protection. Any special vegetarian/allergies should be discussed with Ria in advance. Mayong makes an expedient base from which to explore inland area of north Bali. Mayong Village Tracking Experience’s 3-day tour includes dolphin-spotting at Lovina. Captain Cobra deftly steers away from the rush of boats and seems to intuitively know where the dolphins will rise. Also included in this sightseeing trip are visits to local temples and drop off back at your residence/hotel at the end of the third day. There are no Western standard b u d g e t accommodations in Mayong, but there are plenty of homestays, bungalows and cottages in the Lovina area 12 km away. Family-run Bali Panorama is a cozy small restaurant (signage on both sides of road) in Mayong with breathtaking vistas over with the rice terraces of Bestala village. They serve coffee, lemon tea, soft drinks, fruit juice, Bintang, organic traditional Balinese food (rujak, babi kecap, soto ayam, gado-gado, etc.) and light fresh Western dishes (tomato and vegetable soup, sandwiches, pancakes, etc.). The view of the valley from the kamar mandi is the widest and most unrestricted. While you’re in the area, have your driver stop at the magni¿cent wild Munduk Waterfall (Rp5000 entrance), the Hot Springs (Air Panas) in Banjar and the Buddhist monastery Brahma Vihara Ashrama Banjar - all easy excursions from Mayong. Munduk village, 7 km and 15 min. by car or motorcycle (too steep for pushbikes) to the east, is well known by nature lovers and has accommodations in all price ranges. From Munduk on the way back down to southern Bali, stop at the amazingly picturesque lakeside Bratan Temple, one of the world’s most photographed spiritual sites.

SOME LIKE IT HOT Imagine Balinese (or Indonesian, Thai or Indian) food without its signature zing of chilli. That spiciness wasn’t always an integral part of the recipe. In fact, until about 500 years ago chillies were unknown outside of Mexico, Central and South America.

Chillies were domesticated in Mexico over 6,000 years ago and part of the human diet for over 3,000 years before that. There are thousands of types and new ones are being discovered all the time. India is the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of chilli peppers.

Most of our spices came to Europe from the east. Ethiopian, Indian and Arab traders ¿rst established routes to India and brought cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper and turmeric to the Middle East. Europeans ¿rst encountered spices during the Crusades and brought them home as rare treasures. Spices - especially black pepper - were enormously expensive, reÀecting the length and danger of the journey. In an enterprising attempt to cut out the middlemen, Portuguese explorers set off in search of their origin and opened routes from India through to eastern Indonesia. These, the fabled Spice Islands, became the stage for serious battles involving some very poor behaviour as the Portuguese, English and Dutch competed for the hugely valuable spice trade.

And they are healthy. About 12% of chilli is comprised of capsaicin, the compound that makes it taste hot and which contains most of the medicinal properties. It’s used as a local pain reliever for arthritis, shingles, toothache and surgery scars; Ointments and lotions with capsaicin are also used as an external remedy for nerve pain and itching. A major study published by the British Medical Journal found some indications that humans who consume spicy foods, especially fresh chilli peppers, were less likely to die of cancer or diabetes. Animal studies on mammals suggest that capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties.

Meanwhile, Christopher Columbus developed the obsession that if he sailed far enough west, he would reach the east. He was declined ¿nancial support for this lunatic venture by the rulers of Portugal and England and backers in Genoa and Venice, but ¿nally King Ferdinand of Spain agreed to fund the mission. Columbus brought back a cargo of what he believed to be valuable pepper but which in fact turned out to be chilli. There’s something addictive about chillies. Food seems so monochromatic after one’s ¿rst encounter. My mother, of Scottish descent, was a very conservative cook. Parsley was viewed with some suspicion and garlic, even in powder form, not allowed in the house. Only when we moved to Malaysia in 1968 did I ¿rst experience the glorious, searing burn of a pungent curry. I was instantly hooked. Now I even spice up my breakfast eggs. I seem to share this conviction with a large part of the human race. It was astonishing how quickly chillies migrated around the world and were incorporated into so many cuisines. Within about 50 years of the ¿rst chilli arriving in Europe, they were being grown and used in India, most of Asia including China, Korea and Tibet, along the coast of West Africa, through North Africa, the Middle East, Italy, the Balkans and Eastern Europe as far as present-day Georgia. The dispersion of chilli marks a fascinating trail of trade and exploration. And so much more interesting than bread crumbs. Why, in a bland world, was hot suddenly so hot? Capsaicin, the compound that provides the chillies’ punch does not have any scienti¿cally measurable addictive qualities. Yet the taste for heat is almost universal. Chillies are quite easy to grow in a wide range of climates and conditions and are self-pollinating, which removes the complication of plant sex. (Pumpkin sex is so complicated it’s a miracle we ever harvest one.) Being abundant, chillies are cheap and usually available. They quickly replaced black pepper in Indian cuisine and became a non-negotiable ingredient in many others.

Why, in a bland world, was hot suddenly so hot? A single pod contains a full day’s supply of beta-carotene and nearly twice the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C. Chilli peppers have high levels of vitamins and minerals. One hundred gm provides 240% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C, 39% of vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine), 32% of vitamin A, 13% of iron, 14% of copper, and 7% of potassium. Of course, 100 grams/3.5 ounces seems like a lot but a lavish serving of chilli jam (lots of good recipes on the internet) eaten with savoury dishes goes long way to ensuring your daily dose. Now for the Bali connection. Bali’s traditional sambals almost always include chillies, garlic, shallots, tomato (another New World import) and sometimes root ginger and turmeric. An estimated 300 varieties of sambal from the length of Indonesia showcase the ingredients common in each area. They may be raw and ground with a mortar and pestle. If terasi (fermented shrimp paste) is used it’s usually roasted ¿rst to balance the Àavour. Sambals may also contain lime juice, salt, candlenuts, galangal, basil, vinegar, palm sugar, tamarind, grated coconut, salted ¿sh or oil. There’ s even one containing fermented durian. Although there are plenty of bottled sambals on the supermarket shelves these days, freshly made is always best. It should have plenty of texture. In terms of spiciness, sambal can range from mild to incendiary.

I’ve talked to quite a few Balinese farmers over the years and the older ones reminisce about the everyday meal of their youth – a banana leaf heaped with fragrant heritage rice, a side of sambal and some greens from the ¿elds. On good days there might be a hard-boiled egg. On high holidays, a few slivers of meat. It was healthy, fresh, tasty, ¿lling and all the ingredients were home-grown. Wayan Manis, my housekeeper of 15 years, sniffs at bottled sambals. She claims that every Balinese woman worth her garam has her own recipe and makes sambal every day. It always includes garlic, shallots, chilli, salt and red palm sugar and possibly tomatoes, candlenut and/or terasi sautéed in fresh coconut oil. Sometimes she chops in the unopened Àower of pink torch ginger (bongkot). Sometimes it’s cooked, sometimes not. Measurements? What are those? Years ago when turkey still cost less than platinum, I roasted one for Christmas. Wayan Manis marvelled at its size. She was horri¿ed to learn I planned to roast it bare naked except for some butter. I had to restrain her from making a big batch of base gede to smear on it but she still had the last word. When the succulent golden bird reached the table along with its traditional accompaniments there was a bowl of sambal next to the cranberry sauce. The hotness of chilli is measured in ‘Scoville heat units’ (SHU). On the Scoville scale, a sweet bell pepper scores 0, a jalapeño pepper around 2,500-4,000 units, a Mexican habañeros may have 100,000 to 350,000 units and the Naga Viper up to a life-threatening 1,300,000. Imagine, there are people who dedicate their careers to this kind of research. Did someone slip a slice of orange harbenero (200,000 SHU) into your nasi goring? If your mouth burns from eating chillies try breathing through your nose, not your mouth, which tends to irritate the hot spots. Also try one eating common table salt, milk, yoghurt, cucumber, mint leaves, ice-cream, chocolate, sugar, or starchy foods like bread. (Don’t drink water, which just intensi¿es the burning effect). Our affection for and tolerance of chilli is a very personal thing. Even my mother, now 96, likes just a pinch of it in the tomato sauce. She says it makes it more interesting. As indeed it does.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

What does ‘Jro’ mean? You would’ve surely heard this word used a lot if you live in Bali, especially if you’re on the ‘ceremonial circuit’ or speak Balinese. Spelt in two different ways (Jro and Jero), the word literally means ‘inside’. If a woman from a lower caste, outside caste or is casteless (for example, non-Balinese Indonesians and foreigners) marries a Balinese of caste, they gain a title of ‘Jro’ thus becoming ‘on the inside’ of a family of caste. It can also be translated as something like sir/madam/maam, as in the polite title for a lay priest (pemangku) which takes the form ‘Jro Mangku’. C/G/I-23 Dec 15

Jro can even mean ‘anyone’, if you are putting a question out there. I saw this recently as the comment on a Facebook photo of some dead bodies: “Nyak serem napi ten niki jro?” (Does anyone think that this is scary or not?). Satellite palaces of those of the satria caste are called jero (in this case, with an ‘e’) and the inner sanctum of a temple is called a jeroan. Don’t confuse this with the Indonesian meaning of jeroan, meaning ‘innards/internal organs’: interesting that the ‘in’ part is the same though. Balinese who have just met someone often refer to them as jro, which can be translated as ‘anda’ in Indonesian or ‘thou’ in Old English. So you may hear something like this, particularly in a formal, ceremonial context: “Jero saking napi?” (Where are you from?). You can sometimes hear Balinese using the term jokingly in sarcasm, as if we don’t know someone who we actually know: “Kenten, Jro.” (That’s how it is sir/ maam.) This is similar to the ever popular use of the English word boss in Indonesian and Balinese conversation. If you ever end up on the receiving end of jro or bos, you should not be offended but just take it as a joke for what it is meant.

Made Wijaya, the go-to Bule for behind-the-friezes analysis of Bali society and what really makes it tick, has some very sensible things to say, in his latest Stranger in Paradise column, about the excrescence Governor Made Mangku Pastika and Jakarta business tycoon Tomy Winata wish to visit upon the precious marine environment of Benoa Bay. Among them was this, a quote he gave The Sydney Morning Herald, whose Indonesian correspondent Jewel Tops¿eld has been following the story of the proposed vandalism of the bay: “The Balinese are fed up and they are ¿nally unifying to express protest against rampant development. Imagine ¿lling in Sydney Harbour — it’s pretty radical. It’s going to become like, heaven forbid, South Florida, with fake waterways and cheesy houses. And the last thing we need is more traf¿c in South Bali. It’s mindless, environmental vandalism.” He also noted this, of the massive local demonstrations on Feb. 28, including those authorized by the Benoa village authorities and its constituent banjars, with one of which we have a close personal connection: “As a guest in this country, I can’t go out marching, as I would like to. As an environmentalist — and as a lover of real, not real estate Balinese culture — I feel obliged to write about these threats to the environment. Some Balinese have suggested that taking on Jakarta developers is like taking on the ma¿a. The Balinese used to believe that it is better to roll with the punches and just get on with the show, their ceremonial show, rather than wetting their pants over things that can’t be changed. But not any more.” Like Wijaya, Hector is a guest and can’t go out protest marching. But that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t like to.

Hats Off to Them We enjoyed a nice night out on Mar. 4, at the Fairmont Sanur where the ROLE Foundation and Bali WISE had a hat party to celebrate International Women’s Day. The traf¿c was horrendous – six changes at the traf¿c lights at the end of the tollway to get onto Bypass Ngurah Rai to Sanur, for all the usual incomprehensible reasons – but eventually we got there, parked (in the wrong place) and walked along the beach path to the Fairmont. It was easy to spot ROLE founder Mike O’Leary in the crowd. His hat had big bananas on it. He looked nonplused when we greeted him thus: “Mr. Cavendish, I presume”. But when you’re the big banana on the night, you’ve naturally enough got a lot of things on your mind, so we forgave him. We did not wear a hat. We look shocking in headgear of any sort. Neither did we win the rafÀe, but that too is the standard script. The Distaff took a hat with her but decided to leave it in the car. Fellow guests at our table were Amanda Csebik, of Indonesian Island Sail, who was hatless, and Muriel Ydo, formerly of ROLE, who had brought along a severe but really rather fetching 20-year veteran of her hatbox and put it on now and then. Deborah Cassrels, a fellow scribe we’ve known for more than two decades, joined us from her table after dessert and we all had a lovely chat. O’Leary says the night, which featured a silent auction with some lovely options, was a great success. The dance displays were interesting, especially the samba, though it really wasn’t clear exactly what that had to do with empowering women. The feathers looked ticklish, which prompted a hastily erased thought. Many in the 100-strong crowd got out there and boogied. We stayed at our table and tried to make ourselves heard above the racket. The Fairmont is a lovely property. We’ll have to go back in a quieter time.

Oh Buoy! When that shallow magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the seabed south of Sumatra on Mar. 2, both the Indonesian and Australian authorities issued tsunami warnings. A wave did not eventuate and the warnings were later cancelled. But none of the tsunami detection buoys expensively arrayed in the Indian Ocean off Sumatra after the 2004 Aceh disaster were working. Apparently their solar panels and other useful bits had been stolen by enterprising thieves who if apprehended – fat chance – would probably only concede, and that grudgingly, that they might just possibly be public nuisances. Foreigners are frequently advised, sometimes forcefully, to remember that cultural differences exist between Indonesia and places where law enforcement agencies are properly resourced, their performance is regularly monitored, their reporting is timely and accurate within agreed tolerances, and their actual enforcement of laws is generally speaking OK. That’s always been a very thin argument, worthy of a

hollow laugh, in a country whose ringmasters insist on its, and their, dignity being beyond dispute, but never mind. In situations where petty thievery and supine enforcement endangers lives, however, no laughter is appropriate, hollow or otherwise. There is a point at which rampant venality becomes more dangerous joke than cultural proclivity. The latest ferry sinking is another case in point. This one capsized on Mar. 4 in the narrow strait separating Java from Bali, fortunately with only low loss of life (there were ¿ve fatalities). Inquiries were made as a result of the accident. Doubtless some primary cause will eventually surface and may even be disclosed. But no one would be surprised if the boat was overloaded when it left Gilimanuk for Banyuwangi, a 30-minute trip excusing the hours then spent Àoating around waiting to dock.

Most people say that as you get old, you have to give up things. I think you get old because you give up things.

Please Explain 1 One of Klungkung Regency’s minor panjandrums got an unwelcome hurry-up the other day. Governor Pastika dropped in to ask awkward questions about, shall we say, some unauthorized fundraising for phantom projects. Perhaps it came as a surprise to the fellow that private enterprise walletstuf¿ng on government time is frowned upon at the Governor’s of¿ce in Renon. If so, that’s a very welcome little shaft of light from the heavens. Klungkung isn’t the only place on the island where nefarious is understood to spell opportunity, as an unrelated corruption probe in Badung sourly demonstrates, but it’s a start. The Balinese who exist lower down the food chain than wallet-stuf¿ng panjandrums (that’s most of them) will possibly be pleased that the Governor has actually required something to be done about it. Klungkung is Bali’s smallest mainland regency, though its regent’s realms include Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan across the Badung Strait. Its bureaucracy likes to do nothing much about a lot. A case in point is rabies, which is of course not really a problem at all as long as anyone who could actually help eradicate it, or at least reduce it by world recognized vaccination and humane sterilization based dog population controls, is kept out of Klungkung.

C/G/G-30 Sept. 15

Please Explain 2 Badung Regency has declared South Kuta – the area that encompasses Tuban, Jimbaran and the Bukit peninsula – a red zone for rabies. They’ve done this, they say, on the basis of the many dogs in the area, not necessarily because of cases of canine rabies. Why this should still be necessary eight years after the rabies outbreak began (on the Bukit where the authorities failed dismally to contain it) is problematic, or would perhaps seem so to people unversed in how things are done here. The thing being, of course, that things are only rarely done here. The subtext to the announcement, early in this month, is an excuse to kill more dogs in the arcane belief that this will reduce the rabies threat. The issue is education, so that people learn and are helped to take care of their animals – including village dogs which have always been informally, collectively owned – and effective vaccination and sterilization programs. Killing dogs is cruel and unnecessary. It is also profoundly counterproductive when they have been immunized against rabies and are thus an essential part of the defence against the invariably fatal disease. All this takes money and effort, and a clear sense of purpose.

C/Ns/G-8 July 15

It’s something you might think the local veterinarian association would be active in advocating, even if only because vets are supposed to be bound by a version of the Hippocratic oath that applies to human medicine. Do no harm. We noted this, in relation to the ongoing rabies emergency, in the Diary of Dec. 9, 2015: “Where is the provincial government in all of this? What is it doing to educate people about their responsibility for animals in their care? Nothing. It’s off ¿nding further excuses for indolence. Where is the Association of Veterinarians Indonesia (PDHI) of Bali? Perhaps its chairman, veterinary doctor Made Restiani, would like to tell us when the PDHI will be back from being out to lunch.” Apparently, it’s an astonishingly long lunch.

Dealing with Frangipani Rust? ‘Hi, I have the frangipani rust on my trees to deal with again this year and was wondering about alternative treatments. A few weeks ago they were healthy and ¿ne, but now they have orange patches on the underside of the leaves causing them to wilt and drop much earlier. I tried mancozeb last year but it didn’t get on top of the problem results weren’t great, are there any alternatives that work on this unsightly rust? Thanks and Regards, Peter Cooper’ Frangipani(plumeria) is one of the most popular landscaping plants not only in Bali but all over the world. One of the most prevalent recurring issues with frangipani is the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Coleosporium plumeriae, commonly known as frangipani rust – which can be very dif¿cult to control much to the annoyance of the plethora of frangipani fans out there. The rust is a fungus that appears as light coloured spots on the tops of leaves and yellow/orange powdery growths that spread on the undersides. It easily Àoats through the air and infects other leaves and nearby frangipani trees. Trees that are severely affected year after year can be weakened, but is only fatal in the most severe cases or outbreaks. When rust takes hold leaves will turn yellow then brown, wilt, and fall off. Your frangipani could end up being left completely leaÀess and looking lifeless. The fungus can survive on fallen leaves and in soil which easily allows the problem to recur the following year. Firstly don’t allow infected leaves to stay on the soil, it is so easy for this fungus to spread like the plague! This pathogen thrives in high humidity in combination with other favourable growing conditions. During any wet season or extended periods of high humidity frangipani rust is a common problem anywhere and everywhere. Total prevention can be a challenge to say the least, any neighbouring trees that are infected will provide a further wind borne source of fungal spores which can travel long distances, up to several kilometres on the wind. When you ¿rst notice the fungus, take immediate action.

Prompt removal of the first infected leaves may be enough to solve the problem if c a u g h t e a r l y. When the wet season is on inspect the plant regularly for early signs of rust. Look for areas of yellow orange growth on the undersides of leaves. Remove affected leaves before the spores are produced, and destroy. Rake up and destroy fallen, diseased leaves immediately and other leaves when they drop normally, as this can spread the disease through the soil. De¿nitely don’t throw any diseased leaves into the compost, and wash any cutting tools used with warm soapy water afterwards. Improve air circulation in and around the plant. This can be achieved by removing the lower leaves on any plants as well as areas of thicker foliage. The pathogen can also advance and spread from overhead watering so make sure to water them at the base of the plant instead of spraying all over with the hose. Control tall weeds that grow around or near your frangipani. Removing weeds from the area improves air circulation and reduces humidity around the foliage, discouraging further spread of the disease. Frangipani rust can be found in any climate affected by seasonal humidity, and is not a problem that is only restricted to Bali or the tropics of Indonesia. For those of you that are unaware, I have previously advised readers to use Neem Oil for frangipani rust, which can be purchased from various garden centres and hardware outlets in Bali and also overseas. Whilst Neem is organic, it is also poisonous so handle with care, organic doesn’t

always equal non-toxic. Alternatively you can concoct a homemade solution of white oil which can effectively control the problem. It is simple and cheap to make with dish washing detergent and a cheap vegetable oil. Mix 125mls(half a cup), of liquid detergent with 2 cups of vegetable oil. This will be stored as a concentrate, the ratio for actual use is to dilute 2 tablespoons of the mix per litre of water in a bottle and then spray. The oil and detergent will separate in storage so always remember to shake vigorously before and after mixing the concentrate with water. Apply spray on overcast days or in the afternoon. Avoid heavy applications if several hot sunny days are forecast as the oil has the potential to burn the leaves, although for the rust you will mostly be spraying on the undersides so this shouldn’t be a problem. It will also smother any bugs like aphids, scale and caterpillars so it can be used right throughout the year for various other problems which may occur on any other plants. Take preventative measures early in the wet season to prevent the rust from taking in the first place. Maintain a film of homemade fungicide on the underside of the leaves. Spray every 1-2 weeks between October and March to prevent rust from forming on the frangipani leaves. It is important to spray every leaf, especially on the underside. Rust is sometimes a sign that the trees are lacking trace elements. Add seaweed fertilizer or ¿sh emulsion, a few times a year to the soil. Keeping your plants well nourished will help prevent future fungal infections. Potash is also particularly good for improving disease resistance in frangipanis. You could remove and replace plants that are easily susceptible to rust where you have taken all other possible measures to curb this disease. There are of varying degrees of disease resistance among frangipani varieties, such as Plumeria pudica, Plumeria stenopetala and Plumeria caracasana which are all highly resistant to rust. The rust has also been observed to sometimes infect different varieties more easily from year to year. Rusts are generally very dif¿cult to control, use the combination of all strategies mentioned - clean up, spray and fertilise. Rust-free leaves will eventually re-appear at the end of the wet season, usually by April to May.

16 March - 30 March, 2016

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MARCH 16 - MARCH 30, 2016

Its Equinox time as the Sun slips into the sign of Aries and is joined by Mercury on the Full Moon Eclipse this Fortnight. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system is harmoniously linked to Pluto and in a challenging harmonic to Saturn. This is a fiery and feisty Full Moon and the challenge and confrontation is aimed at the establishment. Mars the ruler of Aries is in Sagittarius a fellow fire sign and works with the Sun and Mercury to ferret out the truth and there will be no gentle tactics in its extraction. There’s a lot of emphasis on details and timing; getting the story straight and a willingness to go the distance to get to the bottom of situations. The Full Moon itself is in the sign of Libra and demands balance, justice and fairness for all. Jupiter appears to be systematically working its way through events this month to provoke a healing and transformation. The South Node of the Moon is conjoined Chiron and this marks a pivotal time for healing deep wounds of the Soul and the human spirit. Saturn moves retrograde just after Full Moon and stations direct in August. The Truth will be simmering beneath the surface as we go into this five month review period which centres itself on the corporate, governmental, military and monetary systems and establishments. It may be Jupiter’s insistence on change and accountability that forces the authority figures into an alignment with integrity. A push that is sure to bring purification. FULL MOON 3 Libra 17 March 23, 2016 8:02 p.m. (Eclipse)

A powerful year ahead for those Aries born in this first decan of the sign with deep emotional emphasis on your relationships. The eclipse will set in motion a series of events which will catalyse the next few months. Many of you will feel pushed to create big and at the same time thwarted in those efforts towards change in the workplace and to your health. Some of you may want to take on a teacher, mentor and guide or seek counsel during these next months. Your healing is psychologically based and it will be through exposing very deep and possibly very old scars. You have the stamina to succeed. The Eclipse for you brings work partnerships into the feeling realms and sends your fiery nature underground where you will do the deep inner investigation. These deeper emotions may lay smouldering beneath the surface as you put your own ego needs on hold and ground some very important work which will serve you well in the years to come. This will be a period when friends re-enter your life and some of these you’ve known for lifetimes. It may not be the easiest of times to share resources or you may feel taken advantage of. Stay true to your own values and beliefs and create boundaries for yourself. Mercury in Aries is sure to bring a little spice to your communications. If you are feeling unappreciated or a situation around your children or a love interest is unjust you will probably want to speak up. This isn’t an issue which will disappear overnight and may even involve other members of your family. Some you will feel supported by and others at loggerheads with. It marks a time of balancing your very important family life and your career aspirations. The latter is requiring that you heal yourself along with the clients with whom you work. A great focus of energy with intention and clarity will bring excellent results.

A Full Moon Eclipse in the early degrees of your sign is sure to bring some unexpected surprises over the coming months. There’s a push to explore the boundaries of the human mind and communicate in very forthright ways and to take action on the outcome of these discussions. Although our personal growth often goes unnoticed by others, you are well aware of the solidity of your foundations and own personal integrity. Anything yet still out of alignment will be called to respond to discipline. Being objective enough to explore your thoughts and feelings can take a little work to achieve. Certain vigilance is required to succeed. If group activities appeal to you, they would be a fertile ground from which to launch this next round of cleansing and purification. As you look at the Truth behind your beliefs you could find yourself challenged to investigate a little deeper and discern how you now actually feel about their validity. Are those you respect and admire still deserving of it and which of the things passed down through the generations still rings true for you? The Full Moon may see you spending some very private time with your beloved which will afford you the opportunity to share of yourself. New romance will prove to be very healing for some. As you evolve your aspirations you will be challenged to stand behind your words and walk your talk. This is the time to organize your finances and to take some bold action with regard to the children in your life. Many of you want to emotionally reconnect to friends and community and have been held back by duty and responsibility. You are healing from deep emotional familial pain and the time to balance your life in the outside World and your inner private realm has arrived. There are simply some things which need to be done in the privacy of your own home. Utilize your friendships during this Full Moon.

Home and family matters are highlighted by this eclipse and the next few months will be emotionally felt with regard to them. Meanwhile, your career innovations are about to take off and partnerships are activated which will open the lines of communication and media/ marketing plans. Any need you have for changes within your primary relationships will do well to be voiced and raised to a higher level of commitment through a deeper understanding and compassion. For those with strong connections abroad or through travel, you are sure to reconnect in a most profound way now and experience soul mate reunions. This is a magical time unfolding for you.

As lovely as it might feel to hide away and to turn inwards you get the importance of sharing your healing journey and that of others, through compassionate conversation. Your worldly focus has always included sharing much of yourself and your status can only come through interaction. There is so much emotional content in all of your communication and much of it is personal or pertains to your own physical expression at this time. Even if your energy levels are low the internal fire is well stoked during this Full Moon. Take note of events now as they will give you a clue to the content of the next months.

If travel is on the agenda this could be a good time to talk about it and get things moving in the direction of your dreams, even if you feel financially challenged. There may be a family situation that is asking you to reassess your beliefs and things you hold dear. Work for you has also taken a lot of energy and yet has enabled you to get a solid foundation for yourself and your personal transformation continues to unfold through this platform. Health concerns are probably well under control now and if not yet, then you for sure know how to deal with them. No need to be overcommitted.

There is no doubt that you’ll have a lot to say around this Full Moon. The farthest reaches of your mind are traversed emotionally during this eclipse and you will feel the need to challenge much of what is said. Taking up the baton in group activities will help the evolutionary process and so too will delving deeply into the human psyche. There is so much brewing beneath the surface at this time and yet it is all in alignment with the schedule. The more elusive traits are around your financial situation at this time. Sometimes the cocoon or learning phase doesn’t lend well to making an income. Have patience.

The push comes to keep on transforming your very personality although challenges from parental authority or your own sense of responsibility to family hinder the progress. With this Full Moon comes the urge to share more deeply; intimately and emotionally and yet again there could be resistance from those closest to you. It may be that you are feeling somewhat alone while the significant other is healing from their past pains and mistakes. Be mindful to live without projecting your own pain onto another. If you can speak the truth it will help all of your personal situations immensely. Do your best to have patience if discussions become heated.

There’s an emotional depth to this Full Moon that continues the theme of the past fortnight. As you speak your thoughts and challenge the status quo you grow in stature. It’s an important time to be very discerning with regard to your friendships and relationships as your core wounds are floating to the surface at this time and you require some tender care. Finding your place in the community where you can continue your work in a harmonious and peaceful environment is paramount to your health at this time. Many of you are feeling the pressure of Worldly concerns and would benefit from some personal healing and meditative time.

“I Can Feel It In My Water”

Recently, however, an issue came up of a young lady whose water feels slimy and makes her hair fall out. As a result she is just a tad lacking in the contentment department, there is a distinct dearth of happiness in her life. Eventually in desperation she had the water tested which revealed two vital pieces of information. Firstly the chlorine levels were low and secondly the water was contaminated by coliform. Contamination of water by coliform and ecoli (both are bacteria found in sewage) is common in Bali and is why you should not drink tap water, don’t clean your teeth in it and, when showering, don’t let it get in your mouth. Built up areas are dotted with septic tanks which may be poorly constructed and/or cracked leading to leakage into the ground water. Now in this lady’s case slimy water is not to be expected and is of concern because her water is supplied by PDAM - the government water supply which is treated with chlorine to kill bacterial contamination, so we have to ask why would this lady’s water have a low chlorine content and why would it be contaminated? She also has a problem with low water pressure from the government supply and has had a pump installed to “draw” the water from the PDAM supply (in fact this is not permitted and we’ll come to why shortly). Let us first consider the PDAM network. Government water supply in Bali is extensive, stretching across large areas of Southern Bali and supplied by several different water suppliers. The water supply networks are extensive and much of the system is now quite old. While many people are situated fairly close to a main supply pump and enjoy a reliable supply with high pressure, other people may be further away from the source and may have significant problems. With many consumers connected to the same water supply network the water pressure will be constantly changing as demand changes. I remember a woman years ago that had a huge problem with her PDAM supply. At 7 o’clock in the morning when everyone on the island is having their morning shower she often had no pressure at all, not a drop of water came out of her pipes, while in the middle of the night with no one using water (apart from the odd middle of the night bladder emptying expedition) the pressure was so great it would burst the flexible hoses to her washbasins.

Perhaps we can understand why it is not permitted to attach a pump to a PDAM supply pipe to pull the water out of the supply. The pump causes suction and in so doing it reduces the pressure in the PDAM pipe which robs supply from other uses.

If You Have a Problem with.....

Let’s get back to our unhappy lady while she still has some hair, she is situated well out of town at the extremities of the PDAM supply network and, as a result, has low water pressure and this may also explain why the chlorine levels are low, probably too low to kill the bacteria. But where would the bacteria get in? As we have said reticulated government water systems always suffer leaks. In Bali we have regular earthquakes that can break rigid steel water pipes. You might also have noticed that we are plagued with heavily overloaded trucks that cause damage to roads and to the buried pipes beneath resulting in leakages. Now leaks can work both ways. Under certain circumstances where the PDAM water pressure is low ground water can enter pipes and, with a high density of poorly built septic tanks in many areas, contamination by ecoli and coliform can only be expected.

SIDOARJO : (62 31) 854 0567 (hunting)

She also travels extensively and may be away from Bali for months at a time. This allows contaminated water to lie in the pipes of her home and the bacterial infection grows.

We now install a small supply pump to pump the water around the house, such a pump is also not expensive. If the house has more than one storey we install a separate pump for each floor so that we can have an even water pressure on each floor. This simple, low cost system isolates her house supply from the shortcomings of the PDAM supply water coming in. She now has total control over her water supply. She will always have a good strong supply of water, she can determine the pressure of the water by adjusting the water pump. She can also add chlorine to the water tank to sterilise the water. Chlorine tablets dropped into the bottom of the tank will last for weeks at a time which means that when she goes away the water is still being sterilised. She could consider installing a UV steriliser in the water inlet pipe however this has several shortcomings, firstly it does not solve the problems of pressure fluctuations, secondly there is no ongoing sterilisation of the water pipes after the UV steriliser, and thirdly it is probably more expensive than the tank and pump option.

Sterilising the pipes has worked very effectively as a short term solution however the contamination quickly returns she needs an effective long term, low cost solution. The best solution is to install a water tank, this is not expensive. The PDAM water enters the tank through a ball valve so that when the tank is full the supply cuts off. This allows the water tank to fill anytime day or night and so, if there is a fluctuating PDAM supply, the tank will fill when pressure is available. The tank also provides a “buffer stock” of water so that, if the PDAM supply is very slow, the tank can be collecting water 24 hours a day while being able to supply large volumes of water for short durations.

So how can we solve these problems? Our client, like many people, does not wish to invest a lot of money. She has rented the house for only a limited period and she doesn’t have a lot of money to spend.

The water pressure can be affected by a number of issues: 1. Distance from the water supply pump. Pressure is lost through ‘flow resistance’ in the pipes caused by bends or restrictions such as valves in the pipes that the water must pass through. 2. Pipe diameters may not being sufficient to carry the water being demanded. As ever more new buildings are built the demand increases but, of course, it is highly unlikely that the PDAM supply network was built to anticipate these much higher rates of water consumption.

Years ago a friend of mine had a problem with his water (we are talking washing here). Every time he washed he felt itchier than a barbed wire blanket. He put up with this for years, then one day he moved house and, surprise surprise, the problem went away. His water had been coming from an open well which must have been contaminated. Wells are particularly prone to contamination from ground water which can quite easily seep through their porous walls carrying septic tank leakage, chicken and pig poo and anything else that lies on or in the ground close by. Bores, on the other hand, are much safer - they have non porous PVC sleeves. Government supplied reticulated water, on yet another hand, is filtered and treated using chlorine and should be expected to be even safer.

Like caviar it is such a precious resource but, being so readily available, we do tend to take it for granted don’t we? It is only when we have a problem we start to think about what life would be like living in a desert. Sand, smelly camels, no toilet paper and what little water you have tastes as though it came out of a dirty old goatskin bag (which it probably did) or, if you’re lucky, a muddy pool at the bottom of some deep well. The mere thought boggleth the mind and brings a tear to the eye of any self respecting goat.

3. Height differences. It’s all to do with gravity really, if some people on the network are at a lower elevation than others they will get ‘preferential’ supply and their water pressure will be greater. 4. How many people are connected to the network between you and the water supply pump. Every time someone closer to the supply pump turns on a tap your water pressure will drop. 5. Leaks. There is not a water authority around the world that doesn’t have leaks somewhere in their systems which result in loss of pressure.

Water - we wash in it, shave with it, flush our toilets with it, drink it (not in that order I hope), we wash the camel, water the garden, feed the goldfish. Where on earth would we be without the caffeine induced sanity of our morning cup of coffee? One way or another water starts our day and ends our day.

Gaye Warren:

Bali Pink Ribbon Gaye Warren was born in Johannesburg into a family of merchant pioneers (mosenthals) who arrived in the Cape of South Africa in 1833. Her ancestors introduced the mohair goat to South Africa. The family moved to the UK when she was ten. After boarding school, she attended Mrs. Hoster’s London Business College in Kensington from 1967 to 1968 before joining an advertising agency in London working with fashion accounts. Gaye then moved into commerce working in interior design and for a cigar importing company. Her ¿rst visit to Indonesia was in 1979 while accompanying her husband on a business trip. A breast cancer survivor, Gaye with the help of friends set up the non-profit Bali Pink Ribbon organization in 2013. What is the aim of your foundation? To promote breast cancer awareness and offer support to all those and their families – both Indonesians and Westerners, both men and women – who are affected by the disease. BPR aims to bring the important message of proactive self-breast examination and annual breast screening starting at age 35.

We warmly welcome volunteers, both from the Indonesian and expat communities. Previous experience with all aspects of charity fundraising is helpful, PR and marketing skills in particular. However, we just ask for a cheerful volunteer with a warm heart and positive attitude. Do you offer any programs or seminars? Our breast cancer awareness seminars and roadshows are all free and open to everyone. We are also happy to give seminars on request either in the workplace or in our own Centre, which also runs Support Group Meetings once a month in the evening. We welcome and will always endeavor to support breast cancer awareness activities organized by the local community. Are screening services available in the villages? During our roadshows we offer manual and USG screening using our own USG machine, which was funded by the fundraising efforts of the Pink Tea ladies Committee of Freeport Mining in Papua. Breast screening is preceded by a breast cancer awareness seminar given by our volunteer doctors with question and answer opportunities and prizes given out to the women asking questions. Free lunch boxes, donated clothes, rice and goods are also handed out.

It’s better to be motivated by the souls hunger rather than the egos greed.

Start your diet at the supermarket. You can’t eat what you don’t buy.

What can someone do to reduce the risk of cancer? Firstly, practice self-breast examination once a month. We have illustrated leaflets at our center on self-breast examination techniques. It helps to lead a healthy lifestyle, cut down on sugar, keep active, reduce stress and go to the clinic for annual breast checkups that are advised for all Balinese women over the age of 35. Go to the doctor if you are worried about anything unusual in how your breasts look and feel. Know how your breasts look. Stand in front of the mirror every day and look at them after your morning shower. Any speci¿c problems with treating cancer on Bali? The main problem is getting women to go to the doctor early enough to avoid a late breast cancer diagnosis. Many women are too scared to go to the doctor for fear of ¿nding out they may have an illness. Many are concerned that they live too far away from the clinic and do not have the funds to pay for treatment. Some are unaware that the government now pays for cancer treatment through BPJS, the Government Health Insurance scheme, which requires a contribution of only Rp60,000 a month.

What are the best cancer treatment facilities in Bali? How did you get involved with Bali Pink Ribbon? I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 and developed a milder different form of it in 2012 in the other breast. I’ve had a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and double reconstruction. I count myself lucky to have survived the disease so far. Following my treatment in both Singapore and Jakarta and our move to Bali at the end of 2006, it became my fervent wish to give something back to Indonesia where my husband and family have spent so many happy years and developed a deep affection for the Indonesian people. I initiated a breast cancer awareness campaign on the island as there was nothing in place at the time to promote early detection. From the beginning, I have worked with the advice and valued support of Bali’s medical community. Was it dif¿cult getting the organization started? There was support from the BIWA board at the time. However, it was challenging (and still is) to ¿nd ¿nancial sponsors within the business community for the ¿rst Bali Pink Ribbon Walk in 2009. Ultimately, we were fortunate to have the support of the Hotel Association in BTDC who so kindly continue to offer us free use of the Nusa Dua Hotel Complex for the event. The walk has now become a 5-km family walk/run to encourage Bali’s running clubs to participate. We offer running trophies for the male and female winners.

In the private hospitals. Public hospitals have long waiting lists and often their screening equipment is in need of servicing or has broken down and is waiting for repair from technicians or in need of spare parts that are not available in Bali. Can you offer any advice to the families of those who are suffering from cancer? Remain positive. Be supportive of the patient. Accept help from family and friends to reduce stress at home. Bali Pink Ribbon welcomes families of cancer patients to visit us at our Support Centre for a friendly chat with our Indonesian staff and BPR volunteers, some of whom are breast cancer survivors. We also visit patients in hospital, provide free imported mastectomy bras and breast prostheses donated by Australia, breast support cushions (made by us) following surgery, scarves and wigs for chemotherapy patients.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

C/Ns/G-20 Jan. 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

THE DREADED COUGH (Part 1) It seems that at this time of year not many families escape the coughs and colds that rip through the community and particularly seem to bother the younger folk. Coughs are one of the most frequent symptoms of childhood illness, and although they can sound awful at times, they usually are not a symptom of anything dangerous. Actually, coughing is a healthy reflex that helps clear the airways in the throat and chest. Occasionally, though, coughs can be cause for a visit to your clinic. If you learn to recognize certain types of coughs, you will know how to handle them and when you should seek medical help. Types of Coughs and What They Mean • “Barking” Cough These coughs are usually caused by croup, an inflammation of the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe) brought on by allergies, change in temperature at night, or most commonly a viral upper respiratory infection. When a young child’s airway becomes inflamed, it may swell around the vocal cords, making it harder to breathe. Children younger than 3 years of age have croup most often because their windpipes are narrow - some children have it almost every time they have a respiratory illness. Croup can occur suddenly in the middle of the night, which can be frightening for both parents and child. Although most cases can be managed at home, if you suspect your child has croup, call your child’s doctor to determine whether your child needs to visit him or her. • “Whooping” Cough The “whooping” sound actually occurs after the cough, when the child tries to take in a deep breath after a round of several coughs in a row. If your child makes a “whooping” noise (which actually sounds like “hoop”) after severe bouts of rapid coughing, it is most likely a symptom of pertussis (whooping cough) - particularly if your child has not received her diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DTaP) vaccinations. In infants and very young children, pertussis can be deadly, so call your child’s doctor right away. • Cough With Wheezing When coughing is accompanied by a wheezing sound as your child exhales (breathes out), it is a sign that something may be partially blocking the lower airway. This might be caused by swelling from a respiratory infection (such as bronchiolitis or pneumonia), asthma, or an object stuck in the airway. Call your child’s doctor unless you are already versed in treating this at home (i.e. your child is already diagnosed asthmatic and you know how to medicate). If the cough and wheezing do not improve with medication, call your child’s doctor. Be aware that many local doctors

will incorrectly term any “wheeze” as asthma. Not all children that have an occasional wheeze associated with a respiratory infection are asthmatics. • Stridor Although wheezing usually during exhalation, stridor is noisy, harsh breathing that’s heard when a child inhales (breathes in). Most often it is caused by swelling of the upper airway, usually from viral croup. However, it’s sometimes caused by a more serious infection called epiglottitis or a foreign object stuck in the child’s airway. If your child has stridor, call your child’s doctor immediately. • Sudden Cough When a child suddenly starts coughing, it may mean they have swallowed some food or liquid “the wrong way” (into the airway) or something (a bit of food, vomit, or perhaps even a small toy or coin) is caught in the throat or airway. Coughing helps clear the airway and may even continue for a minute or so simply because the throat or airway is irritated. But if the coughing does not seem to improve or your child has trouble breathing, call your child’s doctor. Do not try to clear the throat with your finger because you might push the obstruction even farther down the windpipe. • Nighttime Cough Lots of coughs get worse at night because the congestion in a child’s nose and sinuses drains down the throat and causes irritation while the child lies in bed. This is only a problem if your child is unable to sleep. Asthma can also trigger nighttime coughs because the airways tend to be more sensitive and become more irritable at night. • Daytime Cough Allergies, asthma, colds and other respiratory infections are the usual culprits. Cold air or activity can make these coughs worse, and they often subside at night or when the child is resting. You should make sure that nothing in your house, like air freshener, pets, mosquito coils, thatched (alangalang) roofs or smoke, is making your child cough. • Cough With a Cold Because most colds are accompanied by a cough, it’s perfectly normal for your child to develop either a wet or dry cough when they have a cold. The cough usually lasts about a week; often after all other symptoms of the cold have disappeared. • Cough With a Fever If your child has a cough, mild fever, and runny nose, chances are she has a simple cold, but coughs with a fever of 39C, (102 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher can mean pneumonia, particularly if your child is listless and breathing fast. In this case, call your child’s doctor immediately.

• Cough With Vomiting Children often cough so much that it triggers their gag reflex, making them vomit. This is not usually a cause for alarm unless the vomiting persists. • Persistent Cough Coughs caused by colds can last weeks, even up to 3 weeks, especially if your child has one cold right after another. Asthma, allergies, or a chronic infection in the sinuses or breathing passages might also be responsible for long-term coughs. Any person with a persistent cough should be assessed for Tuberculosis (TB or TBC). Even those who have received the Tuberculosis vaccine are still susceptible to the disease (the vaccine is about 60-70 % effective). If your child’s cough lasts for more than a month, you should schedule a visit with your child’s doctor. When to Call Your Child’s Doctor Most childhood coughs are nothing to be concerned about. However, in some instances you should consult a doctor, just to be safe. Call your child’s doctor if your child: • has trouble breathing or is working hard to breathe • has a blue or dusky color to the lips, face, or tongue • has a high fever (particularly in a young infant or in the absence of congestion or a runny nose; contact your child’s doctor for any fever in an infant younger than 3 months of age) • if an infant (3 months old or younger) who has been coughing for more than a few hours • makes a “whooping” sound when she breathes after coughing • is coughing up blood. • has stridor when inhaling • has wheezing when exhaling (unless you already have home asthma management instructions from your child’s doctor) • is listless or cranky

Our Compromised Food-Chain

We Know it’s not Perfect – but Can’t we do Better? In 2013 Britain was shocked to the core by a huge food scandal that rocked the nation and the rest of Europe involving a criminal conspiracy to purchase of over 50,000 Irish and British horses, leading to the slaughter and sale into the food chain of the entire European Union. The payoff involved billions of Euros. Retribution, when it came, was a slap on the wrist for a few major food purveyors and a dent in the rep of sundry horsepeddling restaurateurs. All of whom knew well the grisly provenance and should have known better. Par for the course, well before the regulatory authorities awoke to the fact, the conspirators had long pocketed the dough and scarpered. The much-bruited love of Britons and Celts for their horses is of course well known, but on the Continent there is less sentimentality or humbug, call it what you will. Until quite recently a butcher known as a chevaline was quite common in France, specializing in the sale of horsemeat, considered a pick-up for the sickly, especially children. In the rest of Europe, indeed the world, the choice of meat is very much a local or cultural appetite. From sheep to goats, to dogs, cats, kangaroos, emus and on to frogs, rats, wichetty grubs, locusts and cockroaches, someone somewhere considers them a delicacy. And in times of need… Whatever the case, they all provide live-giving protein. In the interests of full disclosure, as a non-meat eater I am spared the angst of eating my fellow mammals and just how their Àesh arrived on my table. I do eat ¿sh and that’s more than enough mercury-driven anxiety to be going on with. But even if were 100% vegetarian we have more than enough on our plate to worry about with the fruit and vegetables we consume, all of which can be degraded and poisoned, whether by incompetence or fraud. It is, as we should know, a naughty world out there. Nevertheless we have to eat and by and large the majority of us get by well enough with an occasional upset tummy and relying on our respective nanny states to protect us.

Forward the Educated Consumer!

Miscellaneous Naughties Honey: Most honey on sale is fake. Over 76 percent of honey bought in US groceries is not honey. They don’t even contain pollen. Processing honey removes pollen, antioxidants, and nutrients. What’s left is sweet clear syrup with an unnatural shelf life and untrackable source. Arti¿cial sweeteners and corn syrup are added to cut costs and make it sweeter. Illegal Chinese honey often full of antibiotics is blended into other “honeys”. Stick to organic, regionally sourced honeys whose provenance you trust. Avoid the big brand labels. Whipped cream: nondairy whipped topping was invented in 1966. The resultant foam kept its whipped-creaminess unrefrigerated forever. The secret?… no cream. Spray “creams” are made from water, hydrogenated vegetable oils, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skim milk, light cream, sodium caseinate, natural & arti¿cial Àavorings, xanthan and guar gums, Polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, beta carotene (colour). Go for organic heavy cream, whip and add real sugar if needed. it’s tastier, healthier and cheaper.

Fake butter: in other words, margarine. Butter has been rehabilitated, margarine is now the villain. Margarine was originally made from beef fat until American food makers came up with vegetable oil-based margarine, using trans fat (unhealthy fat). acidulants, arti¿cial Àavors and colors to name just some. Best to go with the real thing. Butter’s as cheap nowadays and you’re probably not a soldier. Cheese products: more correctly termed “pasteurized prepared cheese product” this was US patented in 1916 by James Craft to provide food for the army. Since then Kraft have tweaked the patent unrecognizably. In addition to the basic ingredients for real cheddar (milk, enzymes, salt and annatto) Kraft’s “prepared cheese products” include: milk, whey, milk protein concentrate, water, sodium citrate, calcium phosphate, milkfat, salt, gelatin, sodium phosphate, cheese culture, lactic acid, sorbic acid, preservative, Oleoresin, Paprika & Annatto (color), Enzymes, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3. Costing as much or more than the real thing, why would anyone want a processed version ¿lled with chemicals, even if you are a soldier?

In other words, we know of old – when you go to market you had better watch out, or you’ll get done. What’s changed is, most of us don’t go to market any more. We don’t even buy fresh produce directly. It’s packaged or processed for us. And thank God for that… or else we, our womenfolk or employees, would all be spending large parts of the day buying, preparing and cooking food. That just isn’t how the world is ordered these days and there’s no going back. Vanilla: time consuming and labor intensive makes vanilla a prime target for counterfeiters.

Same goes for meat in a stew. We know that parmesan doesn’t always come from Sicily. We are aware that our wines and olive oils are often mislabeled and sometimes adulterated. Thus, knowing the way of the world, do we not owe it to ourselves, our friends and families, our neighbours, fellow countrymen – nay the world… not to go like sheep into the shearing shed and not fatten the wallets of the food oligarchs and broaden the arses of sedentary bureaucrats, whose job it is to protect us from villainy?

BA Feature Article

Biowear Bali is drowning in non-degradable waste. While traditionally the Balinese used organic materials that had no long-term negative effects on the environment, the ever-increasing number of tourists on the island has resulted in an epidemic of plastic trash. Concerned with the growing amount of garbage on the island, three entrepreneurs founded PT Nirwana Alam Hijau in 2014, the holding company behind Biowear and Avani, which offer biodegradable products such as ponchos, cups, takeaway food boxes, straws and shopping bags.

compared to its petroleum-based plastic counterpart. While normal ponchos usually last only a few wears, the eco poncho is durable enough to last up to two wet seasons. “Our friend uses our poncho during his parasailing trips throughout the year and it is still good,” says Kevin, adding that the best way to dispose of a used eco poncho is simply by tossing it into a compost bin or burying it in the garden, as it will actually eventually turn into protein for the soil. After the rainy season ended in February 2015, PT Nirwana Alam Hijau started shifting its focus to the hospitality market. This is when the B2B (Business to Business) was born.“We started introducing disposable products to hotels and restaurants operating in Bali and the neighbouring islands,” Kevin says. “Today, Avani supplies the hospitality industry with compostable shopping bags made from industrial cassava starch, takeaway food boxes made from sugar cane ¿ber and coffee cups made from paper and corn starch, as well as environmentally-friendly wooden cutlery and paper straws that can be customized with a company logo.”

The start-up originated with a dream of seeing Bali free of the plastic pollution that is currently inundating its beaches and waterways. “According to studies conducted by Badan Lingkungan Hidup, Bali currently produces around 10,000 cubic meters of trash daily, 75 percent of which is burned or dumped,” says Kevin Kumala, the acting CEO of PT Nirwana Alam Hijau.“Our story began when one of the co-founders realized that there was no eco-friendly alternative to the vinyl rain poncho that so many people use for such short periods of time. It is hard to imagine that the plastic ponchos will take around tens or even hundreds of years to degrade.” Both Biowear and Avani are a result of an in-depth feasibility study that took around one year to complete. During this time, the company consulted numerous stakeholders with similar corporate missions, including the ROLE Foundation, Bye Bye Plastic Bags, Eco Bali Recycling and Badan Lingkungan Hidup. “Meeting with the representatives of these organizations gave us the con¿dence to proceed,” Kevin says, adding that the process also involved a ¿eld study that showed disposable plastic products to be the main contributor to the island’s waste problem. “It is hard to believe that items that are sometimes used only once – such as plastic bags, takeaway boxes and straws - will continue polluting our ecosystem for around 500 After conducting extensive research, the founders years.” of PT Nirwana Alam Hijau decided to start Biowear, an eco apparel brand featuring a compostable rain Kevin highlights that there is a difference between poncho, which is both stylish and sustainable. “The products that are biodegradable and compostable, eco-friendly poncho is derived from corn, soy and with compostable products being superior because sunflower seeds, and has been certified as they provide valuable nutrients to the soli once they compostable under the standards of ASTM D6400,” break down. “Biodegradable means that the Kevin says. “Depending on the soil condition, the product will disintegrate as it is consumed by living poncho naturally biodegrades into CO2, H2O and organisms, while compostable means that the biomass in around 180 – 240 days when disposed product can decay into compost and feed the soil.” of in land¿lls.” All Biowear and Avani products, with the exception The eco poncho is also quite durable when of the paper straws, shopping bags and wooden

The shopping bags, which have already been certi¿ed as compostable by the Institut Pertanian Bogor and Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi, are currently awaiting ASTM certi¿cation. Although the paper straws and wooden cutlery have not received official biodegradable or compostable certi¿cation, Kevin says that both are more environmentally conscious alternatives to their plastic counterparts. “Paper and wood derived from FSC forests are much greener alternatives than their petroleum-based plastic counterparts,” he says, referring to the Forest Stewardship Council, an organization that promotes environmentally appropriate management of world’s forests through certi¿cation.

PT Nirwana Alam Hijau regularly collaborates with numerous organizations, including Bye Bye Plastic Bags on Bali, which works towards banning the production, sale and use of plastic bags on the island. The organization claims that Bali’s government has agreed to ban plastic bags if the Bye Bye Plastic Bags petition on the organization’s website gets one million signatures (the petition has already been signed by 70,000 people). PT Nirwana Alam Hijau has also sponsored events such as the Bali Beach Run 2015 and a handful of beach clean ups. “We have also put our name behind numerous events in Jakarta including the Namaste Festival, Pasar Ragam and Clean Up Jakarta. Moreover, we have also held meetings with Badan Lingkungan Hidup and Badan Perencana Pembangunan Daerah on how to raise public awareness about the dangers of petroleumbased plastic products,” Kevin says. The Biowear eco poncho comes in two sizes, and can be found at around 80 locations in Indonesia, including BSO, Surfer Girl, Drifter Surf Shop, Yoga Barn, Bali Buda and Earth Cafe in Bali. Avani’s eco-friendly products include clients such as Alila Hotels, Potato Head, W Retreat and Spa, Cocoon Beach Club, Trans Hotel, Betelnut Cafe, Merah Putih, KZU, Watercress, Scratch, Sea Circus, Sister¿elds and Biku.

Local News Sudden Intensity of Anti-Gay Sentiment in Indonesia The recent swiftness and intensity of the attacks against Indonesia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community has taken its members by surprise.

Then former communications minister Tifatul Sembiring made a call on Twitter, where he has more than one million followers, for the public to kill any gay people that they find.

Homosexuality and gay sex are not illegal in Indonesia, and the world’s largest Muslim country has a vibrant transgender culture and tradition, which broadly meets with tolerance from the Indonesian public.

Even Indonesia’s Vice-President Jusuf Kalla, called for funding to be cut to a United Nations program that focuses on ending stigma, discrimination and violence towards LGBT people.

But something has happened in recent weeks and it is difficult to identify why it has snowballed. On the main street of Indonesian university town Yogyakarta last week 100 men could be found standing carrying signs that read “LGBT is a disease”.

“What is most worrying is that they want to fight for equal marriage rights,” he said. Rights activists insist their requests are modest and they are not demanding matrimonial rights.

Just a few hundred meters away a group of rights activists battled it out with the police: “Stop attacks on democracy and threats against minorities!” It came after the minister of research, technology and higher education, Muhammad Nasir, heard some LGBT support groups were offering counseling services at one of Indonesia’s leading universities and declared they were corrupting the country’s youth. The conservative media and the country’s active social media users joined in the attacks. There followed a wave of critical statements from senior members of Indonesia’s government. One of the most extreme views came from Defense Minister, Ryamizard Ryacudu who described the movement for gay rights in Indonesia as a form of a modern warfare - an attempt by Western nations to undermine the country’s sovereignty.

But then Indonesia’s top psychiatric association issued their statement: “We need to promote, prevent, cure and rehabilitate LGBT people”. It did little to assuage fears. Gay rights activist, Hartoyo, who runs the support group Our Voice, says the community is on high alert. “I am scared that there will be violence against us. There is a history of violence against minorities in Indonesia that were fuelled by similar kinds of statements. We need the government to protect us and the president needs to say you can’t talk to us like this.” The anti-LGBT campaign also succeeded in shutting down the world’s first and only Islamic school for transgender women, opened in 2008 as a safe place for transgender people to learn about their Islamic faith and pray together. Many gay people are able to live comfortably and without

prejudice particularly in the capital Jakarta, as long as they don’t draw attention to their sexuality. And across Indonesia the picture is complex. The Bugis tribe in Sulawesi, for example, recognizes five genders, including bissu - someone who is neither a man nor a woman. Leading human rights lawyer, Todung Mulya Lubis, argues that the community is protected under the country’s secular constitution but is concerned that elements of conservative Islam are becoming increasingly vocal in Indonesia’s pluralistic society. “What upsets me,” adds Lubis, “is that the president hasn’t stepped into the debate”. The LGBT community in Indonesia openly campaigned for Joko Widodo hoping that his presidency would bring in a new era of greater tolerance. While the president hasn’t made any direct statements, his close aide, Luhut Panjitan, coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs, has. Speaking in parliament recently, he said: “[LGBT] might not be ‘normal’ in terms of the general rules and religion but you can’t just dismiss them like that,” he said. “We have to remember that all of us also could have a relative or an offspring that is LGBT. They are part of our communities and citizens of our country and they too have to be protected.” Many observers remain skeptical that such statements will be able to stem the rising tide of officially-endorsed intolerance.

Bali’s Benoa Bay “Tolak Reklamasi” Gains Momentum Tirta Wahana Bali International, the property company behind Bali’s Discovery Mall, has proposed a massive tourist development to create artificial islands in the middle of Benoa Bay for a massive tourist destination with luxury villas and a theme park. This proposed reclamation of 700 hectares of water has spawned one of the largest environmental movements in Indonesia’s history: Bali Tolak Reklamasi (Bali Rejects Reclamation). The subject is so politically sensitive that a Balinese Forum Against Reclamation (ForBALI) panel session was cancelled at the Ubud Writers Festival last year, along with events that discussed the 1965 anti-communist massacres. “The people who hold power don’t want this issue to be discussed,” says ForBALI coordinator Wayan “Gendo” Suardana, who was scheduled to speak at the festival. “They don’t want international attention.” Benoa Bay, near the international airport, was earmarked as a conservation zone in 2011. However a presidential regulation, signed by former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2014, changed its status. The regulation permitted activities to “revitalize” the area, which is fringed by rubbish-choked mangrove forests along the coast. It also allowed the reclamation of a maximum of 700 hectares of water, which amounts to half of Benoa Bay. Nusa Benoa - a cluster of artificial islands separated by canals - would include a shopping arcade, luxury villas and townhouses, eco chalets, a business district, a marina, a water theme park and - possibly - a Bali culture amusement park.

villages) around Benoa Bay submitted a petition to Indonesian President Joko Widodo opposing the development. Locals’ main concerns are it will cause flooding and destroy 70 sacred Hindu places. These include temples, streams and muntig - small spots of land exposed when the tide goes out, each with their own names, where the Balinese place offerings at certain times of the year. “No one ever approached us or involved us,” says the head of Kepaon village, Ida Bagus Suteja. “Our area faces backwash (backward flow of seawater) every time the tide is in already, now they want to fill (the bay) up, they want to build islands. What will happen to us?” he asks.

evacuation ground for the public on one of the islands as protection against a tsunami. TWBI says it is committed to revitalizing the entire bay, including cleaning up the Tahura Ngurah Rai mangrove forests, which are swamped with toxic rubbish. “We will keep the area clean,” Heru says. “If there is garbage no one will come. It will be beneficial for everyone.” But this has not stopped a groundswell of opposition. Boldly designed ForBALI posters, a red fist stamped over the island, are plastered all over the streets of Bali. Protests are held almost every week.

“The islands will be filled with facilities. Meaning more people, which will cause more problems. With the current situation, we are overcrowded as it is.”

The high-profile movement has galvanized artists and musicians including Jerinx from Balinese punk band Superman is Dead, Gede Robi Supriyanto from psychedelicgrunge band Navicula and Man Angga from folk band Nosstress.

Gendo says locals are also scarred by past experience with a reclamation project on Serangan, also known as Turtle Island. It was expanded to three times its original size by dredging sand from the ocean floor.

“The Balinese are fed up and they are finally unifying to express protest against rampant development,” says tropical garden designer Made Wijaya, an Australian expat who has lived in Bali for decades.

The change in wave patterns eroded Sanur beach, one of Bali’s most popular tourist spots. “Cemeteries and temples on the beach got washed away, as did some houses in villages,” Gendo says.

“Imagine filling in Sydney Harbor - it’s pretty radical. It’s going to become like, heaven forbid, South Florida, with fake waterways and cheesy houses. And the last thing we need is more traffic in south Bali. It’s mindless environmental vandalism.”

TWBI director Heru Wasesa says he has tried to address community concerns. He says the islands will be lower than the surrounding area. “The islands would be the first to be flooded,” Heru says. “I said: ‘If we can guarantee the islands will be lower and there will be no flooding, will you support us?’ They gave us no answer.”

TWBI already has a location permit. The company is hopeful the government will sign off on a revised environmental impact analysis as early as Monday, which would give it the green light to proceed.

TWBI adviser Hendi Lukman says Bali already has beaches, cliffs and lakes but the one thing it doesn’t have is canals. “We are hoping to be like Venice,” he says. “The canals would be for fishing and water sports. The whole concept we are trying to create is a new destination.”

Nusa Benoa is aimed at a market currently not being catered for in Bali, Heru says, and would not compete with existing hotels on the resort island. The project would provide 150,000 jobs, with local people prioritized.

On February 16, the heads of 14 bendesa (traditional

“We will build a fisherman’s cove, where fishers can sell their fish better,” he adds. Heru even promises to create an

“The government is the only one who can stop us,” says Heru Wasesa. “If the government says yes, we expect people to accept it.” But ForBALI coordinator Gendo says the Bendesa Adat (traditional village heads) are all ready to commit puputan: “They’ve felt like that since the beginning, they are now quite angry.” (February 29th 2016)

Indonesia to Wipe Out all Red Light Districts Indonesia will be free of red light districts by 2019, according to Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa in a statement here on Thursday. “The central government has continued cooperating with local governments in the effort to close red light districts, and by 2019 it is expected that no red light district will remain,” she said. Based on her ministry’s data the number of red light districts in Indonesia total 168, but after 68 of them were closed 99 remain. East Java province initially had the most red light districts reaching 41 but since the end of 2015 the number had dropped to only one which is Balung Cangkring, Mojokerto, after 40 of them were closed, he said. “Mojokerto has even sent a letter regarding its preparation to close the remaining red light district before the next fasting month of Ramadhan this year. With its closure later, East Java will be totally free of red light districts,” she said. The head of the Tangerang district in Banten province has also planned to close its red light district before Ramadhan, she said. Khofifah who is also the general chairperson of the women’s wing of the country’s largest Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) said the second biggest number of red light districts was found in East Kalimantan totaling 35, including 12 in the district of Kutai Kartanegara. (March 3rd 2016) Tsunami Alert Lifted in Sumatra After 7.8 Earthquake The National Disaster Mitigation Agency, or BNPB, has lifted the tsunami alert issued after a massive earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra on Wednesday (02/03) evening. The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded a 7.8 magnitude earthquake at 7.49 p.m. in the Indian Ocean at a depth of 10 kilometers. The quake’s epicenter was 636 kilometers southwest off West Sumatra’s Mentawai Islands, which was devastated by a tsunami in 2010, killing 286 people with hundreds more missing. Wednesday’s earthquake caused a panic among residents of Padang, West Sumatra, who were still traumatized by the 2009 earthquake, which killed more than 1,000 people. Residents living along Padang’s coast quickly scrambled out of their homes after the tsunami warning was first issued, witnesses reported. The rest fled to higher ground in their cars and motorcycles, some carrying their precious belongings, causing traffic mayhem. “So far there have been no reports of damage,” Andi Eka Sakya, a BMKG, official said. President Joko Widodo was staying overnight at a hotel in Medan, North Sumatra, at the time of the earthquake, and is reported to be safe, palace officials said. Residents of Medan, North Sumatra, said they did not feel any tremors, despite a tsunami warning from the BMKG for the province. (March 3rd 2016) Swiss Man Slashed on Sunset Road Police are investigating the violent slashing of a Swiss man in Kuta, Bali that occurred in the early hours of Thursday morning (25/2) on Sunset road. A photo depicting a gaping slash wound on the man’s shoulder went viral on Bali social media on Friday. The photo’s caption said that the man was attacked at 5 am on Thursday morning near Bali Brasco, Sunset Road. The incident happened when Swiss man Gregory Charles Louis, 36, was on the way home to West Denpasar from working at a nightclub in Legian, according

to MetroBali. Louis had been driving a motorbike on Sunset Road when two people riding a motorbike suddenly approached him and the person riding on back slashed him inflicting a wound approximatly 15-20 centimeters long on his right shoulder, according to Antara press reports. Security guards in a building nearby the incident helped rush the victim to Siloam Hospital. Police are not yet sure what the motive is for the attack. (February 26th 2016) Margariet Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Murder of Engeline The Depasar district court has sentenced Margariet Megawe to life imprisonment for murdering her six year old adopted child, Engeline. “The suspect was found guilty of premeditated murder, abusing and discriminating against child,” the presiding judge Edward Harris Sinaga said here on Monday (29/2) The sentence was the same as demanded earlier by the team of public prosecutors. Margariets lawyer Hotman Sitompul said the convict would appeal the verdict. The tragic death of Engeline in May last year, has attracted nation wide attention and caused public condemnation of the suspect. The prosecutor said in the indictment that Margariet beat Engeline causing the two ears of the child to bleed on May 15 last year. The angry suspect then rammed the head of Engeline to the concrete wall of her room. On May 16, Margariet hit Engeline again with her bare hand rammed her head to the wall and then grabbing the hair of Engeline forcefully throwing her to the floor where she laid dead in front of Agustay, a man servant of the suspect. The body of Engeline was later found buried in the backyard of Margariets house. Enegline was adopted by Margariets late husband, and according to witnesses, bequeathed part of his assets to Engeline. (March 1st 2016) Indonesia to Strip License from Bali Ferry Company After Five Drown Indonesia’s transportation ministry will revoke the operating license of a ferry company whose vessel sunk in the Bali Strait on Friday (4/3), killing five of the 81 people on board including a mother and her infant child. Indonesia relies heavily on ferry services to connect the main islands in the archipelago, the world’s largest. But accidents are common, largely due to years of under-investment in infrastructure and a tendency to overload ferries. The Rafelia II ferry was serving the popular crossing between Banyuwangi on the eastern tip of Java Island and Gilimanuk on the tourist resort island of Bali, when it sank just after 1 p.m. on Friday, around 1 km from the Java shore, domestic media reports said. “As from Monday the operating license will be revoked,” Transportation Ministry spokesman J.A. Barata told Reuters on Sunday, referring to ferry operator PT Darma Bahari Utama, which only had a license for one vessel. Barata said investigators from the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) and transportation ministry officials were looking into the cause. Under Indonesian law, the company would be required to salvage the sunken vessel, he said. According to National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) chief Bambang Soelistyo, all who were traveling on the Rafelia II at the time it sunk were now accounted for. “We have evacuated 81 victims and they match with the number of passengers in the manifest,” Soelistyo said.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

WHY THE ROAD TO FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE IS GETTING LONGER First of all, what exactly is ‘¿nancial independence’? It could mean different things to different people. Like getting your ¿rst job and not relying on your parents to support you. Or moving to a kampong in the hills of Bali and living a money-free worry-free existence. But for most people it would mean never having to work again or to have to rely on other people for support. In this case ‘¿nancial independence’ means you have acquired or accumulated suf¿cient wealth to support you and your chosen lifestyle for the rest of your life. Depending on your aspirations it could mean living a fairly simple but satisfying life or it could mean continuing to live in an expensive home, buying a new car every few years, foreign travel, frequent dining at your favourite restaurants, having ample funds to cover medical insurance or substantial resources to cover actual medical costs and long term care not to mention plenty of money to cover all kinds of contingencies. Leaving a fair amount to your estate might also be important to you. When conducting ¿nancial planning fact¿nds I always ask when a person would like to retire on the basis that he or she will have acquired by that time suf¿cient wealth for a comfortable retirement. I ¿nd that younger people still optimistically quote age 50 or 55, believing that a working life of 30 years will support around 30 years of retirement. Theoretically it is possible but few would or could commit to a level of saving that would make that feasible. So how much do you need to accumulate to become ‘independent’? This is the acid test. But to arrive at a ¿gure I ¿rst ask ‘How much do you reckon you need per month to live your chosen lifestyle, assuming you retired today and in terms of today’s money?’ Answers will vary of course and will depend on where the person plans to retire. Paris or London will be more expensive than Bali or Lombok. I also need to prompt them to ensure they have taken into account items such as holidays, replacement of major items such as cars and appliances, house repairs, medical insurance and provision for long term care. Invariably this pushes up the estimated monthly requirement. Finally a ¿gure is arrived at. I suggest a US Dollar amount as that is likely to be a more practical marker. A not unreasonable ¿gure across the board for western expatriates might be $4,000 a month. Now comes the reality check! Because up to a few years ago I would explain that to achieve that ¿gure would require the accumulation of the equivalent to 240 times the desired monthly income. So to generate an income of $4,000 a month would require a lump sum of $960,000. Why a 240 times multiplier? Because for decades it was a reasonable assumption that a sizeable lump sum when invested in a mixture of cash, bonds, equities and a few alternatives should produce a return of at least 5% per annum after charges. Remember the days in the 80’s and 90’s when stock markets rose by double digits almost every year? So a lump sum of just under a million dollars could be projected to produce a 5% return or $50,000 per annum which is a little over $4,000 a month. 5% is one twentieth, so 20 times 12 months = 240. Most people were surprised at the savings target and realised their preferred retirement age was perhaps somewhat optimistic and needed an upward adjustment. But even the formula has its caveats because it doesn’t address inÀation. Currently, global inÀation is low but over the years it will erode the purchasing power of a ¿xed income. A high rate of inÀation could decimate it unless there is a corresponding increase in the return on your investment. So there are variables that can affect even the tidy multiplier of 240 and should therefore be taken into account. What about property as an income provider? Some people have indeed achieved ¿nancial independence

through living on the income from a portfolio of properties. No question that having a property is an important investment and also one you can live in rent-free! But as an income-producing investment there are risks, the primary one being security of income and the actual yield after all expenses. An empty property can be a serious drain on resources. And, unlike ¿nancial investments which can be wholly or partly encashed at any time, it is not possible to sell a bathroom when you have a few urgent bills to pay. Does the 240 formula still work today? If the years since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 are anything to go by, even the 240 multiplier will be hard pressed to generate a 5% income today. This is because returns in general have been forced down by the low interest environment we are now seeing. Conventional ¿nancial wisdoms have been turned upside down. A few years ago banks in the western world would have been competing hard for your deposits. Today in many countries banks will now charge you interest for holding your cash. Why on earth would anyone pay the bank to hold their money? Well, plenty of people when you consider the risk of investing in assets from stocks to commodities to properties when prices are falling. So where do you put your money? Under the mattress? Not a good idea. Bury it in the garden. Again, unwise if you are like the gentleman who reportedly did so but nervously dug it up each night to check it was still there. It was – until the time it disappeared, no doubt as a result of his well-monitored nightly digging habit. Hence, nervous investors are happy to pay their banks a fee to protect their cash. For some, capital preservation has become more important than capital growth. So what is the solution? There is no simple solution. We live in an environment where there are no real returns on bank deposits (there may be returns in weaker currencies but they tend to be offset by corresponding inÀation). Stock market returns have been negative for the past couple of years while oil and other commodity prices have collapsed. One consolation is that inÀation is low so that those on ¿xed incomes like annuities are not seeing the values eroded too quickly.

So do we give up and just eat, drink and be merry till the money runs out? Not a good idea unless you live in a country with a generous social security net. No, despite poor current returns now is a good time for steady saving and building up assets. It may mean taking a knock from time to time as frequent ¿nancial shocks travel round the world, but economies are still growing and the next big turnaround could be around the corner. Or perhaps around the following corner! The road to ¿nancial independence is still there. But it’s getting longer and you may just have to save a bit harder and push that retirement date further down the road if you can do. If you keep seeing these articles you will know I have done the same!

This Sporting Life EASTER SPORTS NEWS

The 2016 sports seasons is starting to warm up, with Easter rapidly approaching, Bali hosts two of the longest running sports events held here. ULTIMATE FRISBEE NEWS Nusantara Cup 25-26 March Grand Bali Beach Field Firstly the Bali Nusantara Cup will be held on March 25-26 at the Grand Bali Beach soccer/football field with teams from around SE Asia.Although Japan and Singapore lead Asia in Ultimate Frisbee development in Asia, Ultimate Frisbee Indonesia has developed and they have annually hosted the now world-famous Bali Nusantara Cup since 2000, that is traditionally held during Easter Weekend here in Bali,attracting many participants. The organisers called DISCINDO, the Indonesian Ultimate Frisbee association comprises both expatriate (80%) and Indonesian men and women who work in both the private and public sectors, and whose ages range from 16 to 53! In fact, at the last count, the professions Discindo members had covered included lawyers, communications consultants, journalists, economists, bankers, stock analysts, social workers, PHD students, advertisers, television professionals, environment protectors, finance managers, president directors, teachers, embassy employees, gamelan players. Ultimate Frisbee is a limited-contact team field sport played with a flying disc (frisbee). Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone. Other basic rules imply that players must not take steps while holding the disc (maintain a pivot), and interceptions and incomplete passes are turnovers. Rain, wind, or occasionally other adversities can make for a testing match; with rapid turnovers, heightening the pressure of play. A prominent feature of the modern game is the “lay out,” a horizontal dive to catch or block the disc. Last year the Nusantara Cup saw over a hundred participants from around Indonesia and SE Asia and Pacific, showing the popularity of this sport and the determination of the players.

CRICKET NEWS 20th International Cricket Sixes 25-27 March Udayana Oval, UNUD Campus, Bukit

Second Easter event, now in its 20th year, the Bali International Cricket Sixes was started by a group led by Terrance Fimstone (The Bali International Cricket Club – BICC) in 1997 and aimed to promote cricket for enjoyment in Bali for all ages and types of cricketer. The BICC continued the organisation until 2009 under Ian Jasper. In 2010, management of these auspicious local Sixes was taken by The Udayana Cricket Club, based at Udayana University, the first all Indonesian managed, residential club in the Indonesia. This Tournament has developed a well deserved reputation for accepting any team whatever the standard in order to promote the game among local people. It is the only cricket tournament in Indonesia that accepts Indonesian teams with the aim of promoting the game with good expat sides as a stimulus to better play. The Bali International Cricket Sixes has played a pioneering role in beginning and spreading the great game of cricket to the Indonesian people. It is one of the few opportunities for young Indonesian players to play with and against expatriates. By supporting Bali Cricket, you can help them continue this very challenging but rewarding task. One of the great challenges in the development of Indonesian cricket is the sustainability of new players and thus the development of an Elite squad which is competitive internationally.

The Rotary Clubs of Bali and the Bali Red Cross Blood Bank are working together to increase the awareness about the severe shortage of Rh Negative Blood types here in Bali. These are much less prevalent in Asian populations (0.3%) vs. European populations (10%). If you have Rh Negative Blood and would be prepared to help save a life, please contact the Bali Red Cross Blood Bank office today at 0361-227 224 and one of their mobile units will visit you at your home/ office/hotel for your generous donation.

* Please note - the staff is professionally trained to International Standards and always uses new disposable needles. In addition, the Blood Bank is currently expanding its present list of Rh Negative Blood donors. If you are living in Bali and would be willing to have your name placed on a ‘confidential list’ for emergency cases, please call PMI at 0361-227 224.

Help SAVE a life TODAY by sharing this information with your friends, colleagues and customers.
