Restaurant Review

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

A Beachfront Retreat! There are so many unique dining locations in Bali you almost become complacent. Then you discover yet another one and you are amazed, one more time! Such is Alila Soori. It is a 20 minute drive, to the north-west, through small villages most of which have never seen a tourist, from the intersection where the road from Canguu meets the one to Tanah Lot. The resort spreads along the beach, a line of luxury and very private pool villas. Fine dining at its best is dinner at Ombak, the restaurant is at the beach edge, as you eat you sit and watch the floodlit surf breaking onto the sands, picture postcard material. The location is magic but that is nothing as compared to the meal that follows. It is prepared and presented by their very talented young Argentinian Executive Chef, Fernando Trump. The fare is International but innovative and exciting. Far too often dishes at Bali’s better restaurants seem all too similar to each other, at Ombak everything is very different. That begins with the Amuse Bouche, on my visits a large seaweed cracker topped with small tasty bits and pieces, almost entrée size. A Veloute is one of the classic French sauces, This one is almost a soup being combined with Chinese broccoli and studded with green peas, edamame and small lengths of baby long beans. Marmachi Tartare is Yellow Tail King Fish, it has been marinated in Yuzu [similar to Kaffir lime] and soy, then served with nori seaweed crackers, fresh sea grapes [so called as the trees they grow on are only found at seaside locations] and a light wasabi emulsion. Mackerel Escabeche is also marinated fish but very Spanish with its marinade of warm sherry vinegar, olive oil, orange and spices. It is then cooled and kept for 3 days prior to serving to stimulate the flavours. Complemented with a chickpea and coriander salad, it is drizzled with vinaigrette of shellfish reduction [mud crab], honey vinegar and bronze fennel. A taste sensation! The Peruvian Ceviche has been worked over by chef, the raw tuna being combined with green mango, lime and sweet potato. It is refreshingly different. The only non seafood entrée is Pork Belly but once again different to norm; with cauliflower and blood sausage, served with pickled purple rice!

The mains take you on another journey. A Quinoa Risotto is as healthy as you can get. The quinoa has been cooked with carnaroli rice [medium grain rice from Northern Italy] and mushroom essence. The creamy mix is garnished with shiitake crumbs, fresh and pickled mushrooms, sprinkled with fresh herbs. I thought that the Mahi-Mahi was one of the best fish dishes I have ever tasted. A chunk of that wonderful local fish is poached in a tarragon broth and then served with tarragon foam on top, alongside a mix of tapioca and flying fish roe. So simple, so good. The other seafood main is with Barramundi, served with squid, chorizo and charred peppers, it is no doubt very special but the Mahi-Mahi is too good to miss. So best to order both and share, but then the Mahi-Mahi is also too good to share. Equally sensational was the Duck Breast [pictured], and once again so different. A strip of the meat is first cooked slowly, with the sous-vide method, then finished off in the pan prior to serving. The meat is firm yet tender, cutting like butter. The slow cooking has preserved all the flavour but reduced the normal fat content, especially just under the skin which remains crisp. It is served with beets, gnocchi and kale. Exceptional! Also slow cooked is the Beef Shank. Just the meat from the shank is served, so intense in flavour in a red wine jus. Mushroom crumbs and smoked carrots accompany yet another well balanced dish. Very, very slow cooking is reserved for the Lamb Shoulder. It is first cured with salt and spices, then slow cooked for 12 hours. The meat from the shoulder is served with a puree of spinach, ‘burnt’ onions [dark caramelized onions] and a salad of organic heirloom tomatoes.

Milk & Honey heads the dessert list. It is one of those simple tasting dishes that require much kitchen skill to prepare. The base is a panna cotta of milk & honey to which is added crunchy shards of honeycomb, milk crisp and a milk sorbet, on top is dehydrated milk foam. Very sweet, very good! All the other desserts are based on different local fruits; Pineapple, grilled with coconut and lemon basil, Mixed Berries with raspberry sorbet, Baked Apple with mint, celery and apply sorbet and Passion Fruit as custard with mango sorbet and white chocolate. The essential [for Bali] chocolate dish is a very rich Fondant, with raspberry and grapes. Trying many dishes at Ombak, over an extended dining period, is an experience not quickly forgotten. It warrants staying at Alila Soori overnight and enjoying a leisurely and also exotic breakfast [buffet and a la carte] by the beach the next day. World class!

Update Warung Enak , everybody’s favourite Indonesian restaurant in Ubud, won the prize for the most imaginative Christmas dinner. They combined mostly traditional western dishes with Balinese spices and sauces to come up with something unique, and full of taste! It started pure Balinese with the chef’s amuse bouche, a mini Tum Ayam [finely minced chicken with plenty of spice, ginger, garlic, lemongrass and coconut etc.,] which certainly got those taste buds working. Seared Scallops followed, in a sauce of red chilli, lemongrass and coconut cream, a pile of excellent green tea noodles behind [pictured]. For this dish they cheated, they stole it from sister restaurant Lamak where it features on their regular menu [I have enjoyed it there, many times]. Next course was on paper the most basic but for me it stole the show! A Duck Soup, actually a very rich intensely flavoured and peppery consommé, floating on top was a pair of soft dumplings, stuffed with mushroom. So good I almost drank it from the bowl! Next to cleanse those taste buds was a Tangerine Granita. With Bali’s current craze for ‘homemade’ gelato [which in fact all comes from factories in Denpasar] it was a pleasant change to have one actually made by the chefs in the kitchen and on this occasion from fresh tangerines grown in Kintamani. Great taste! The main was Turkey, no surprise there. But to Balinise it the turkey was prepared in the kitchen in the Balinese ‘betutu’ style with fresh turmeric, shallots, cloves, candle nut galangal, red chili, ginger, grated palm sugar and coriander seeds, packed with flavour. The turkey came with shredded vegetables tossed in roasted coconut and a cone of yellow rice. Dessert carried on the same theme, a slice of Mango Pie [chunks of the fresh fruit in a soft pastry shell], topped with a scoop of coconut ice cream. Accompanied by wines from Saba Bay it was a perfect, and unusual, Christmas dinner, Bali style. Tiger Palm has continued the Will Meyrick restaurant tradition of opening busy and staying that way forever after. It is the 4th restaurant in Bali under the Sarong Group banner [7th in S.E. Asia], and whilst all have similar menus all are at the same time that little bit different. At Tiger Palm the theme has been to showcase all the various ethnic influences on Malaysian cuisine over the centuries by the constant arrival of immigrants from nearby countries, all of whom brought their own cuisines with them. Chinese, Indian, Thai, even the English left some traits behind. Situated at a prime location, right front, at Seminyak Village the space is cool and fresh, as is the food. Open from 10.00 a.m. for Kopitiam, a selection of small snacks with your morning coffee, the thinking man’s breakfast. Char Sui Pork Buns, Cheong Fun [braised shredded beef wth coriander], Egg Martabak [with green chilli curry powder and sauce] or a 5 Spice Lorbak of Pork Belly [with yam beans and green shallot wrapped in bean curd]. This Kopitiam menu is available all day until closing at 2.00 a.m. Lunch and dinner times see many extra small and large dishes added to the menu. One thing seems to be a constant on all of Will Meyrck’s restaurant menus, a Salmon Salad that immediately becomes a signature dish. No exception here as the Seared Salmon Salad is sensational. The salmon is dusted with crushed pecan nuts and tossed with pineapple, cucumber, chilli, mint and dried shrimps. Lamb Shoulder [simmered with curry powder, cumin, coriander and tomato], Ayam Merah [slow cooked chicken in an Indian tomato gravy with cardamom, lemongrass and star anise], Duck Korma [almonds, green chilli, mint, coriander and potato] and a Malaysian Nonya Fish Curry [okra with freeshly chopped coriander and curry powder in coconut milk] are just a few of the exotic dishes you can enjoy at Tiger Palm.

The Harvest is a chocolatier and patissier on Sunset Road, at the Kuta end. The chocolates include Rum Raisin, Peanut Crunch, Coffee and Strawberry Truffles, Florentine Pralines and Almond Sticks. The extensive range of French pastries include Strawberry and Blueberry Cheesecakes, individual serves of Black Forest and Tiramisu and many chocolate combinations. The Blueberry Ice Cream is special! Fat Gajah is a dumpling and noodle house on Jln. Raya Seminyak. The dumplings can be Crisp [Rice Cracker Tuna with dill, watercress, soy, ginger, chilli broth and lime zest, Crunch Flower Parm with cauliflower, basil, onion, Parmesan and white sesame seeds] or Steamed [ Black Pepper Crab Dumpling, Prawn Rolls, Lemongrass Lamb Shank] , You can order a selection of 8 of either category or a mixed plate of all 16. The noodles can be Black [snapper bakso], Ramen [seared yellow fin tuna], Egg [vegetarian or soft shell crab], Green [Asian mix], Rice [lemongrass chicken] or Curried [beef tenderloin]. Other available dishes include salads [crunchy tempe, soft shell crab or a special of grilled slipper lobster and tamarillos], Butterfish in miso dashi or Black Pepper Chicken caramelized, served with basil green rice. For dessert a young coconut Crème Brulee. The X Nine continues the craze for strange names for Bali restaurants and also breaks the norm for the Jln. Hayam Waruk string of coffee shops by actually being a restaurant [inside in the air-con or on the covered terrace [plenty of space in the tree-lined car park] offering pizzas and a variety of pasta dishes as well as coffee, Pesantian is a small complex of villas with a very special restaurant, self-styled as The Warung. It is 10 minutes from Ubud, in the rural village of Pesalakan, Pejeng, amongst the rice paddies and tree-lined valleys. It is the brainchild of Nyoman Santika who served his ‘apprenticeship’ at the original Serai at Manggis back in the 90’s when the then Australian exec chef put that hotel on the map with his hands-on cooking classes rather than ‘watch how wonderful I am’ cooking demonstrations that masqueraded as cooking classes elsewhere. Years later at The Serai, now renamed Alila Manggis, the effervescent Penny Williams revitalised those cooking classes with her passion for organic produce. When Penny left to start her own restaurant, Bali Asli, Nyoman returned to Manggis, after having gained more international experience, but this time as the Exec Chef himself, where he continued the traditions of producing high quality local cuisine and those unique cooking classes. Now he has set up Pesantian, the warung is street-side and a small group of luxury villas, very budget priced, between it and the valley river below. Naturally he still specializes in presenting those cooking classes, and guests come to his villas, often just for that purpose. When you stay and/or eat at Pesantian you are really in Bali, no concrete jungle here! Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com NC/Re/G-20 Jan. 16

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) By Ayu Spicy Forty cloves of garlic sounds like overkill but something magical happens when this soup hits the serving bowl. The garlic sting transforms into a silky satisfying soup of substance. Croutons scattered on top add depth and music to its delight. For another version add sliced steamed still crunchy asparagus just before serving.

Mega Garlic Soup Serves 4 Ingredients: - 40 cloves of garlic, (25 with skins left on and 15 skinned) - 2 Tbl. olive oil - 2 Tbl. butter - 1 medium sized yellow onion, thinly sliced - 1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves - 1 Tbl. parsley, chopped - 1 pinch ground cayenne - 2 medium sized potatoes, coarsely chopped - 2 3/4 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock - 3/4 cup white wine (optional), you can add more stock if you don’t have the wine - salt and freshly ground pepper to taste - 1/2 cup whipping cream - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated - 1/4 cup parsley, chopped - 4 lemon wedges - 16 croutons (see last issue of BA for the ‘Dougy’s Croutons’ recipe) Directions: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Break the garlic heads in half. With a sharp knife cut off the top of the heads about 3 mm down and then separate into cloves. Keep 25 with the skins on and remove the skins from 15 cloves. Set the skinned ones aside. Onto a baking sheet with a lip put the 25 cloves of garlic with skins, the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss these well to coat with the oil then spread out into a single layer. Cover with aluminum foil and seal tightly. Slide the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the garlic is browned and soft. Remove from the oven and let cool. When the garlic is cool enough to handle squeeze each clove. The roasted garlic will pop or ooze out if its skin. Throw the skins away. Set the roasted garlic aside. Melt the butter in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onion, the thyme and parsley, the cayenne and cook stirring until the onions are soft - about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, the roasted garlic and the raw skinned garlic and cook stirring for 3 minutes. Add the stock, wine if you are using, salt and pepper to taste and cook the soup over a medium heat for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the garlic is very soft. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Using a stick blender or a regular blender puree the soup until it is velvety smooth.

C/R/G-6 Jan. 16

If you are planning on eating the soup the next day, cool completely and then store in the fridge. When you are ready to eat, heat the soup until just hot, but not boiling. Add the cream, taste for salt and pepper. Divide the Parmesan cheese between four bowls. Ladle the soup over the cheese. Sprinkle the tops with chopped parsley and squeeze a lemon wedge around each bowl. Decorate with 4 croutons per bowl and serve. Soup’s On!

A TIME FOR MODERATION AND BALANCE IN 2016 Over Christmas & New Year the roads were crazy and now they are pretty quiet, whatÂśs happened" :eOO, ,tÂśs the Oow season now, the road worNs are aOO Eut Âżnished and the rains havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrived?! However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this time of year to re-group and work out a plan - a plan to carry us on throughout the yearâ&#x20AC;Ś(thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a plan yet) everyone is talking, Moderation and Balance, these are good words to start with, so stay on the path and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do astrayâ&#x20AC;Ś. Moderation and Balance in all things for 2016! Now the year has started and all one can see are empty shops, a number have closed and more to come I hear, never fear, more will take their place, although, perhaps not this year? one would have to agree that over the past years, there has been a build up of just too many shops, all selling the same type of merchandise which is not what we want to see, too many shops, too much the same. Believe 2016 will be a year of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leveling outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; too much excess, too much of everything, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pull back and re-think what we are doing. Certainly in retail thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a handful of outstanding fashion stores and the same with furniture and home product and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about it!! Some retailers continue at working hard to bring excitement to their stores and many others are frankly lackluster. I feel for the visitors to our island, there is not enough unique merchandise that gives them a reason to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;buyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Some years ago it was much more exciting, both in the look of the stores (inside and out) and their offering (fashion or home product) There is just too much mediocre product around that simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warrant getting cash out of the purse!

So, we just wait to see what newness comes about meanwhile for an injection of retail therapy you get yourself up to Ubud, this town is rocking along beautifully! (apart from those dreadful buses that overcrowd the streets!) more & more of the better Seminyak stores have appeared which makes for a good shopping day out. But what is nice is that there are more artisans here, tucked in little shops making craft and plying their trade, this should be encouraged!

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to venture out to other village areas surrounding Ubud town, this is where you will Âżnd special items that you can incorporate into your home, drive down the main road through Mas and you will see for yourself, all the way to Sukawati. And the other way up Andong Road, going north of Ubud, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a plethora of small artisan shops on both sides of the road, for miles and miles!!

Speaking of which, one of my faves (which actually isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a hole in the wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but a proper shop. CLOTH by Medina, Andong Rd, (on the right side of road not too far up, just drive slowly, parking at front, where there are trees! www.clothbymedina.com The owner is a delightful Australian named Carina and she sure knows her business, just to visit her shop is a joy. The merchandise is unique, the color blocking is great, her props instore are perfect, settings will give you lots of ideas for your home and the best point to note is that her product is 100% natural handcrafted by artisans in the villages; dyeing, spinning, making, sewing and the rest, now Carina is a real professional and it shows, she wins my vote for excellence in retail! In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming very apparent that the best product is by the clever artisans in Bali, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remember that Bali is the home of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handicraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken on new meaning in recent years (I am not referring to the product in vast caverns like Oleh Oleh or similar haunts!) I mean exquisite quality hand crafted designer product that is made here from ceramics, wood, glass, artworks, fashion, leather, home product often exported to smart cities of the worldâ&#x20AC;Ś..

Question: It’s New Year’s, and I need help with my New Year’s resolution. I’m hoping you can give me some advice on how to stop being obnoxious. You see, I’m a pretty laid-back individual until someone does something stupid to me. For example, this one particular guy forgot about a date he had with me, and when he finally remembered, he shined it on and went surfing. Once somebody does something stupid like that, I NEVER FORGET. I obsess and pick at what happened as if it were a scab. I don’t want to lose at the “dignity game.” I quietly resent the other person and want them to suffer – at least until I forget who they are, which eventually happens, but it takes way too long. It’s embarrassing to feel so strongly about stupid things from the past. It’s also tiring to keep the perpetual-motion hamster on the wheel of resentment in my head. It takes so much energy, which could be better spent by remembering fun sex or something. So how do I stop my brain from going over this stuff? How do I turn it off or retrain myself? Dr. ZZ: : One way not to fixate on other people’s behavior is to call them on it while it’s happening, and to then let it go. If you’re not good at speaking up in the moment – not everybody is a snappy comeback machine – you want to at least reach out and ask for an explanation within a few days. For the new year, therapy can help you learn to reframe your negative thoughts. You may want to see a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and talk with them about how to work around habits and patterns of thinking. If one date-gonewrong sends you into a rage, chewing it over in your mind for weeks or months, it’s a sign you can use a visit with a pro. Learning to set boundaries, speaking up for yourself, standing up for yourself, and having conflict by expressing your feelings directly to those involved is apt to help you like people more and get along with them better. You don’t have to forgive folks who act poorly; you don’t have to roll over and be the bigger person. There is wisdom, however, in saying something directly to the person. Learning how to say “ouch” is how we eventually learn to request and receive what we want. Question: My husband and I met in high school, got serious fast, moved in together, and that was it. I never dated anyone else or was sexy in any capacity with anyone else. We married only a year ago, but we’ve considered ourselves married for a long time. Until recently, we were trying to get me pregnant. I care about him and love him and want good things for him, but I also want good things for me, and more and more it looks as if that’s not going to happen as long as we’re

together. We’ve been over and over things that are still problems, and they’re problems I can’t swallow. I am more scared than I have ever been right now because I have never been on my own as an adult and have never supported myself. We went from living with our parents to living together. Everything we own is in his name. I haven’t talked to anyone about this because everyone sees us as the couple that lasts forever, and if I tell someone, then it will happen. Like, really happen! How do I tell my parents, my best friend, anyone? Should I even bring it up if I’m still not sure what I’m going to do? What do I tell my husband when the time comes? I have never even broken up with anybody. I don’t know how to do this. Dr. ZZ: First and foremost: do not get pregnant. One thing you know for sure is that you are not ready to be a mom with this man in this situation. You say you were trying to get pregnant “until recently,” so perhaps you have this handled already; but if not, get yourself a reliable form of birth control pronto, and use it; do not have sex without it. Next, you can start sharing your feelings with people other than your best friend and immediate family. Find a counselor or maybe a lawyer – someone outside the situation, who has no stake in your marriage working out or not, a person who can give you unbiased advice and act as sounding board. You can eventually share all this with your husband, your parents, your best friend, etc., but you have to first figure it out for yourself.

You may also want to open a bank account, even a small one, something that is all yours. If you think your husband may threaten you, turn vindictive, or act out financially or in other ways, tell your counselor and heed his or her recommendations for how and when to break the news. People can get frighteningly manipulative in situations like this. It hurts to be left, and it hurts to do the leaving. No matter how well you practice saying all the right things, the conversation - and the year or two that follow - will be draining, heart-wrenching, and filled with second-guessing, painful regret, and self-reinvention. Eventually peace, happiness, new life, and new love will reemerge. Whatever happens, you will be okay in the long run, and he will be okay too. In the short run, don’t make a baby you don’t want, don’t stay in a marriage you don’t want to be in, and trust that a better future than this lies ahead.

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS NOT JUST DROUGHT Respected international environmental foundation, IDEP, warns that 75-80% of Bali’s underground aquifers are empty, and not just because of ¿erce drought. Modern tourist developments – including houses built by you and me - are drawing too much water from under the ground. In a powerful you-tube video, the Ubud-based Yayasan IDEP warns that Bali will run out of groundwater within five years, unless we work together to redirect rainwater back under the ground. When I built my house ten years ago I confused my (fully quali¿ed) engineer by directing him to construct a rainwater tank in the huge space under the foundations on my sloping property. He laughed and laughed…. “Bali has so much rain in the rain season, totally unnecessary, (silly white woman),” he said (and thought). Unfortunately, though I was raised in South Australia, the driest state in the driest continent, I listened to him and we didn’t put in that tank. He was right in one sense; Bali does have wonderful wet season rain most years, but I was right too, to suggest that we catch the rainfall instead of letting it slip away into the oceans, while the island’s underground sources are sucked dry. Watch www.youtube.com Bali Water Crisis, then visit www. idepfoundation.org to get involved in their Bali Water Protection program. Learn how to put gutters on your roof, catch and store the rain, and direct it back underground where it belongs. SOLAR ECLIPSE FESTIVAL Ubud arts enthusiast Frank Radden invites us to head to Sigi, Central Sulawesi, in early March to experience a full solar eclipse and share in sacred rituals for the earth hosted by Wayu Village on the slopes of Mantantimali Mountain. For indigenous tribes in Sigi, this universal darkness – which happens only once every 250 years – must be addressed by ritual in order to save the planet and mankind. Through the Sigi Sacred Arts Festival, we can witness sacred performances, including warrior rituals, Manimbong and Rego chanting from Indonesia, sacred Dayak mask dances from Malaysia, whirling dervishes from Turkey, native American rituals and Katak devotional dancing from India. There are also wellness events and activities, sports and some great workshops. The festival will run from March 7 to 9 this year, with packages including cottage accommodation in great viewing spots, full festival passes and “Solar Eclipse Moment” passes. For more information and prices, go to www. sigisacredartsfestival.com. CROQUET ANYONE? Don’t you love the quirky range of activities on offer in Ubud! How about trying a game or two of croquet at Dewangga Bungalows on Jl Dewi Sita? Just pop along and join the regulars, any Monday morning from 9.30am onwards. I hear that a “Croquet Field Trip” is coming up … so this must be the column for revealing unusual expeditions!

Wayan Jen can’t be sure that a dress on a rack in a shop will look any good on her, let alone create a design herself. And this is a sad thing, because there is so much unusual, beautiful, colourful cloth available in Bali, including stunning traditional weaving – batik, ikat and the like – from this country, and the acres of fabric found in shops around the Denpasar market. Solution found! Whether you just need someone to put your creative genius into action, or like me you need your hand held as you wander almost blindly past bolts of silk and linen and cotton, dressmaker Gratia Widiasih provides a great dressmaking service … starting with accompanying you to the best of those fabric shops. Tall, tiny, slim or comfortably-¿gured, you are in good hands. Send Gratia a private message on Facebook or sms her on 085 237 1400 75. MANSION BOLLYWOOD FIRE Sparks from welding repair work, carried out too close to a Bali alang alang roof on a windy day, caused major damage to The Mansion Baliwood Resort & Spa in Sayan earlier this month. The ¿re began on the roof of the resort’s canteen, where two young workers were welding near the highly Àammable thatched roof, quickly spreading to other buildings. The Àames destroyed a meeting room, gymnasium, garage and two luxury bedrooms, as well as one neighbour’s home and another’s family temple. Fire trucks from both Gianyar and Ubud eventually reached the Sayan property through congested Ubud traf¿c, and 25 ¿re ¿ghters fought the blaze. There were no casualties but losses are estimated at more than 2.5 billion rupiah. Already everything but the gym is back in operation, including their lovely pool. I know a lot of expats consider the Mansion their second home; let’s all support their rebuild by using its services where we can. Jalan Penestanan; bookings 0361 972616.

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Greetings music pioneers and welcome to this another reÀective issue of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. I hope you all had.a great new year, mine was spent in a barn with some Australian musicians kicking back and welcoming in the new year in style. But this new year 2016 has brought much sadness to the world of music, and its not even half way through January yet! In music there is a very special club known as the 27 club. This is sadly when a lot of the world’s greats like Jimmi Hendrix,Kurt Cobain, and more recently Amy Winehouse met their untimely ends, but now it seems like the entire year of 2016 will become it’s very own macabre club with already the passing of Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead) and just this morning David Bowie. This issue of Music Matters pays tribute to the legends of both these talented frontman and their respective musical legacies. The ¿rst time I heard the snarling sound of Motorhead was probably when I was no more than 8 or possibly 9. I had snuck downstairs while my parents were asleep to watch the Young Ones on TV. Rick played by Rick Mayall who also recently passed on was hosting a house party and Motorhead were the headline act playing Ace of Spades. Louder and faster than anything I had heard or seen before and looking like bad asses I was hooked. At 19 I saw Motorhead live supporting Megadeth in London at the Hammersmith Apollo and my hearing was never the same! Lemmys trademark as ‘the ugliest guy in rock” was a badge he wore with honour. And there are few musicians who have inspired so many more to go on and play harder! Now a brief overview of the man his life and achievements:

who was an entertainer to the last. Born David Jones, he changed his name to Bowie in the 1960s, to avoid confusion with the then well-known Davy Jones (lead singer of The Monkees). Bowie never had it easy and in the sixties spent 10 years trying to get noticed on the music circuit. He ¿nally achieved his commercial breakthrough in 1969 with the song “Space Oddity,” which was released at the time of the moon landing.

According to his Wikipedia entry: “Ian Fraser Kilmister, known as Lemmy, was an English musician, singer and songwriter who founded and fronted the rock band Motörhead. His music was one of the foundations of the heavy metal genre.”

From then on he produced hits like The Man Who Sold the World covered by Nirvana and starred in various films and productions.

Lemmy was devistated at the recent death of drummer and friend Mikee D and lost the will to ¿ght on succumbing to the reported ¿ve tumours in his brain.

Bowies released his last album late last year, entitled Lazarus it seemed to be a parting farewell to fans as he knew he would die very soon. The music video depicts a thin frail man in a hospital bed. Bowie was a genius and was a great musician and song writer because he got under the skin of what it was to be human. His music touches your soul, and speaks to you in ways few other artists have ever done. He was a rare one off and his passing marks the end of an era but he will be remembered forever and maybe he is Àoating in space where he longed to be when he was here with all of us? Who knows all I know is he will be sorely missed.

Motorhead was part of the NWBHM more commonly known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and along with bands like Saxon, DefLeppard, and Judas Priest caused a real stir in the music world and inspired countless bands including Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden and so on. Motorheads trademark sound was thrash, metal, blues, and punk a real smorgasbord of sounds and one which will never be equaled. The irony is one of the bands most famous songs (Killed by Death) is ¿nally what happened to them, but what a legacy to leave behind! Social media is alive with ways to honor Lemmy like changing the name of a Jack Daniels and coke to ( A Lemmy) or even naming an atomic, heavy metal element in the periodic chart Lemminiym! What is clear is that this is one band which touched a lot of lives, and will will be remembered forever. If there was ever a musician truly loved and revered by every generation since his birth whose music crossed boundraries of age and taste, it would have to be the star man himself David Bowie. From Major Tom calling to ground control to the goblin king in Labyrinth David has had a varied and crazy career and will go down in history as one of the greatest musicians of all time. My personal experience was when someone pointed out the baby in the labyrinth was called Toby, so out of interest I watched the ¿lm and then got my dad to ¿nd some of his music. It’s true Bowie was a poster child for the drugs generation, and an icon for rebellion albeit in a semi-politically correct way. Bowie died of his secret year long struggle with cancer on 11/1/16 here is a brief look at the life of Bowie a man

Ok folks well let’s not be too upset death comes to is all, it just seems that all the greats are dying and literally nothing is good enough to take their place! Lets hope my generation stops playing video games and starts doing the real thing! Ok well good readers enjoy 2016 and catch you all in the next issue. Until then keep it live and make it matter and go buy all the back catalogue for Motorhead and crank it up loud for a rocking good time just be careful of the banjar. Until then keep it live and make it matter.

SCHEDULE THAT Bali Hash House Harriers (Saturdays) Just in case you made a resolution to get or keep ¿t then this is de¿nitely worth noting. Each Saturday the Hash House Harriers meet for a run or trek if you are not quite up for a good run. As the day begins to cool down and the sun sinks lower the participants meet. There are two trails one for runners and one for those who prefer trekking. Each trail lasts last for about one hour followed by a social gathering. This is a great way to exercise off the beaten track through some of Bali’s most beautiful scenery. Routes are organized through traditional villages, rice ¿elds, forests and mountains. The great part about this is you never quite know what area you will start the run in. You will need to check the website for details. It is a great way to see other stunning parts of Bali that are safely off the tourist trail. Everyone is welcome to join, meet new people and enjoy a fun afternoon out. All you need is a t-shirt, shorts and jogging pants and a sense of fun and adventure. Fun, ¿tness and friendship is what this gathering is all about. When Cost Where Contact

Mozaic Beach Club (Sundays) Balance is a great word and to get the most out of life it usually requires a balance. A combination of working hard and playing hard and the reward for a hard week’s worth of work is a family day out from noon. Sunday at Mozaic Beach Club is all about chilling out and relaxing to the sounds of Nu-Disco grooves and funky beats. DJ James Taylor, Rob Venables and Ari are the ones that will pump out the tunes. A pool, great food, good music and plenty of sunshine really is the recipe for a perfect family day out.

I found some nice ideas browsing different websites such as breaking habits and having a small word that embraces your life for the year such as adventure, balance or tranquility. It can be any word about any theme you like. Decisions to be made such as travelling or helping in the local community will be made easier if this is your theme. If you have decided to become more involved in the community as an expat or resident then the Rotary Club Canggu welcomes you. Their motto is ‘thinking globally, acting locally’. The Rotary Club have all sorts of community projects set up helping villages and communities. Meetings are weekly at the Hotel Tugu. If you are looking to make a difference to the local community then this is de¿nitely a group to join. You will meet likeminded people and it offers an opportunity to get out and be part of making a difference once a week. Guests are welcome but you are asked to phone before Tuesday to con¿rm your attendance. If you have decided community, helping or making a difference is your theme for the year and beyond then the Rotary Club is de¿nitely the place to be to make a true difference to local communities.

Trading Education (Mondays and Wednesdays) I must admit that living on a tropical island surrounded by the unique culture and stunning scenery, Àora and fauna and all that Bali has to offer, the world of stocks and shares and business seem like a planet away.

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Land of Water by George Tahija Have you ever ridden on the end of the bowsprit of an Indonesian sailing vessel at twilight with the only sound the keel of the wooden ship slicing through the waves as seabirds swoop aloft and the sun sets over a line of volcanoes smoking in the distance? This spot at the forward tip of a pinisi was my favorite perch for seven years leading soft adventure through Indonesia on yachts. I count those moments among my life’s most precious. The moods, the subtle beauty as well as the unpredictable treachery of the sea is created anew for me in Land of Water, a unique, personal travel account of a voyage by yacht to exotic and remote regions of Indonesia’s eastern islands. The extremities of the archipelago still offer high adventure, as if torn from the pages of a Joseph Conrad novel in which crew members wear bandanas and stick knives in their belts and where a bottle of rice wine and a fellow traveller’s yarn will lead you through the night like the North Star. This wonderful book of exploration by George Tahija and Paul Dean is probably best explained by de¿ning what it isn’t. It is not a cruising guide or travelogue. It isn’t a harrowing story of seamanship. It isn’t an autobiography. It doesn’t feature a boat as the centerpiece of the story. Rather, it is a story of a man’s love for his country, its people and for cruising on a sturdy vessel through some of the last remaining untouched places and people on earth. That love story isn’t told so much in words, but in photos, excerpts from the ship’s log, of¿cial documents, all of which give readers the feeling that they are one of the lucky passengers. When he was young, Tahija’s parents took him and his siblings to the mountains outside Jakarta or out into the Pulau Seribu islands of Jakarta Bay at every opportunity. His ¿rst long-distance voyage to Nusatenggara was on a 62 ft. Nordhaven from 1993 to 1998. Over the past 10 years, Tahija has made a dozen 10-14 day trips cruising in waters from Sumatra to Papua. Tahija’s previous work A Walk In The Clouds (Red and White) about a trek through Moni tribal territory in the highlands of Papua was published in 1996. The author’s motivation to make the long voyage, which became the basis for the book, was to take his father to places where he had fought during World War II. The author grew up hearing tales of islands with exotic names as Yamdena, Nila and Babar. He wanted to give his father the opportunity to revisit the people who had been so important to him during the war. His ancestry being Ambonese, he also felt a close af¿nity with the natives of Eastern Indonesia, particularly Maluku. With only four crew, captained by Paul Dean, the ship made its way from Ambon south to Darwin, dropping anchor at the Bandas, Nila, Babar and Tanimbar on the way. They visited

countless islands, some tiny and deserted deep in the Banda Sea, including starkly beautiful and isolated Pulau Manuk (“Bird Island”) with its steep sided conical shape. Another truly mysterious island that made a deep impression on him was Pulau Serua with two dead pelicans in an empty house and an abandoned church on the headland. After landing on a beach on Pulau Nila, his father met two old men who as boys carried his weapons during a commando raid. Then there was the untouched lagoon of Pulau Terbang Selatan with its peerless diving; uninhabited and remote Pulau Semata where the inhabitants believed in Àying people who live in a cave on a hill, a water buffalo that had been turned to stone and kept an indigenous breed of Àuffy black dog that has never been documented. The book is proof positive that pictures are worth a thousand words. Tahija took many of the photographs himself. And the words tell tales of far-flung insular environments, natural wonders, interesting locals, untainted-and-often-unpeopled places. Told in a picture-by-picture storytelling scrapbook-like format, the book is also a vivid photo journal with bold graphic design. The wistful, dreamy watercolor sketches were rendered by Bali based artist Bruce Granquist.

Traveling by sea is the safest, most exciting and quite simply the best way to see the breadth of Indonesia, arguably the ultimate destination for modern-day sailors with a passion for exploring. The real joy of cruising the country’s remote areas is to discover islands seldom visited by other cruising yachts. Even though you often think that one place must be the most beautiful or that you have found the best beach or anchorage, another tropical paradise appears just around the corner. Land of Water is an extraordinary story of adventure sailing Indonesia’s eastern seas. This large format picture book depicting the landscapes and people of the largest archipelago in the world would make enjoyable reading for tourists, sea travelers, boat captains and Indonesianists.

Land of Water: Bali to Komodo by George Tahija, Afterhours Books 2006, ISBN 979-984-4967-00-0, hardcover, 244 full color pages, dimensions 30.5 cm x 25 cm, shipping weight 3 kg. Available at Bali’s bookshops for Rp. 990,000.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 03, 2016

The Sun enters Aquarius on the first day of this fortnight and Venus into Capricorn on the 24th, the same day as our Full Moon in Leo. This Full Moon brings to a peak the potent cycle that began with the Sun and Moon conjoined Pluto. Mercury which has been in retrograde motion has travelled all the way back to now join Pluto on this Full Moon and then does an about face and stations direct early on the 26th. What we have then is Pluto/Mercury square to Uranus and this is the point where we really sever those thoughts, ideas and situations that were not working for us a fortnight ago. Verbal confrontations are possible and no doubt necessary as they will help to usher in the new order of things and with a harmonious trine aspect between that rogue planet Uranus and Saturn in Sagittarius a new status quo is developing. On the one hand things will be getting tougher, tighter and more rigid and on the opposite side of this spectrum will be a push towards freedom and independence. There will be those opposed to the old hierarchal system and with the Sun now in that humanitarian sign of Aquarius supporting the Uranus agenda for rebelliousness, a willingness to stand up for the collective rights for everyone. A Full Moon in Leo, a fixed sign, is proud and indignant. Mars in Scorpio has been working with Neptune in Pisces to stir us at the emotional and compassionate level and to instigate healing. FULL MOON 3 Leo 29 Jan 24, 2016 9:46 a.m.

This is a strong time for the Aries native and as you push forward on your personal path you will be met with opposition particularly in the area of friendships and community. The inner challenge or tension arises around your push for standing in the World and your own sense of freedom and independence. Your role as a parent or your own parent will probably pay a particular role in the events that unfold this fortnight and your inner life is calling you, as there is more work to be done in transforming your connection to money, resources and sexuality. It may be time to travel or to complete your study.

As Venus, your ruler enters Capricorn there will be a definite change of pace from that frivolous and fast moving sign of Sagittarius. It may be time to get down to business or back to work. It’s a bit like the parties over and now it’s time to clean up. Family, partnership and the home environment are calling for your attention this Full Moon with highlight as well to your friendships and community. There’s no doubt that you are a busy person with strong social commitments. Transformation too, continues to unfold and bring healing around finances, work and your own personal values. Any health issues are more emotionally based.

Venus your ruler is moving into a fellow earth sign and will bring a solid foundation to your relationships, sense of personal values and your work projects. The Sun also supports this career focus as the Full Moon swings into nurturing your home environment. The tension created by the Pluto/Uranus square is felt more in your moments of solitude when you tune deeply into your own thoughts and deeply held emotions. You may be feeling the need for more freedom of expression and movement. For sure the normal operating system needs to be upgraded to incorporate the random or unexpected situations which arise. Your relationships and friendships are going through profound healing.

During this fortnight you will once more focus strongly on your career identity and how it impacts your family life and community. Pluto your ruler joins with Mercury and throws out a challenge to reinvent your work ethics and to express your individual nature through what you do. In fact it is this very move that will have the biggest impact on your physical and emotional well-being. Mars is in your sign for a long time this year and will bring a lot of energy your way for the first half of the year. You may want to direct some of this in the direction of your children or romantic interest.

Your mental processes are undergoing a radical transformation this month and they will reach a turning point around this Full Moon. As you take a deeper look into your friendships, living environment and group affiliations you may just find that it is time to let go of some of them as they are no longer a fit for your personality type and vocation preference. As a new understanding awakens within your mind and heart you are ready to express this through a service orientation, paid or otherwise. Communication is important around the Full Moon as you could well be forging new alliances and partnerships and launching into the unknown.

[036] A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. The man who desires to improve a human being must begin by appreaciating him.

Saturn in your sign is actually harmoniously linked to Uranus this fortnight and this could well see you forging ahead on a creative project. For some of you, you will be developing or sensing another self-expression emerging through your personality or identity. Others will need to put boundaries in place for their personal protection from other stronger willed individuals. There may be financial issues or responsibilities that need to be discussed and these could include any children in your life. You may require some solitude this year to bring emotional healing and spiritual matters to the light. Early childhood memories may arise during this time of deep inner healing.

This Full Moon in Leo promotes a strong sense of your personal values and how necessary it is to learn to share with each other with respect. There is a strong urge to communicate in your primary relationships and to expose the goals and individual purpose. There is work to be done and it may be time to open up to the new possibilities exposed through these conversations. Any romantic interests you may have will lead you towards healing on a grand scale by taking the ordinary and expanding its perspective to include totally new possibilities. There’s no area of your life that isn’t touched by a deep sense of understanding.

This could well be the final crescendo of the events of the past few years. This Full Moon is the deepest part of your chart and opens the way for a new way of being in the World and functioning from your compassionate heart and in particular through the way you communicate to others. Your friendships and community are undergoing further endings and resurrection and family matters or memories are pushing this grand transformation. Religious or higher consciousness concerns are very personal to you, although some of you will no doubt be able to share them within very personal relationships in an unusual and thought provoking way. Be an inspiration.

The Full Moon is in your sign and brings a balancing act between your own need for nurture and necessity of helping others. In fact relationships and friendships are a large part of the next month. Your home life is also going through a lot of transformation and healing as you are compelled to share emotionally and financially with others. It may be family that is calling for some attention and understanding. Any tension that you’re feeling needs expression through conversation and this will help to alleviate competitiveness and to bring a higher perspective to disagreements. If you are thinking of travel this could be a good time to organize.

As Uranus makes its last pass to Pluto you will be compelled to do a final mental purge of those things which have always been your own undoing. Habits of thought that keep you bound through your own repetition of them. The good news is that the Sun now enters your sign and this Full Moon highlights personal relationships. It may be time finally to kick up your heels a little and simply have a good time. A lot of energy will go into your business or career over the next 6 months and bring healing to financial matters. Your value system too is undergoing transformation and this will lend to a more compassionate you.

There is a great opportunity for profound healing as you speak out on your fears and truth this fortnight. A whole new identity or persona is developing and emerging through you at this time and brings revolutionary and permanent change. So much healing can take place as you traverse the depths of human emotion and express from your heart rather than your thoughts. This Full Moon can take you into a place of solitude and recluse allowing you this opportunity to heal. There comes a time when a new environment is required which will allow for a natural and spontaneous unfolding of the deeper aspects of your being.

Neptune and Chiron in your sign harmoniously linked to Mars over the coming months will bring an emotional depth of expression which helps to bring things to a higher perspective. Water is a persistent element and essential part of the cleansing process. Your career could well take off in unexpected ways this Full Moon as it highlights your role or place in the unfolding life drama/story. Whatever started for you 2 weeks ago in the area of friendships and community will open up through inspired dialogue this fortnight and bring the necessary cut backs or openings. You will be supported in unexpected ways as you open to this new beginning and responsibility.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Bold, Brave and Berani As with all languages across the world, there are numerous words and expressions which cannot be accurately translated into just one word in another language. ‘Berani’ is one of these words. It can mean ‘brave’, ‘prepared to’, ‘take on’, ‘stand up to’, ‘face off’ and ‘willing to’ depending on the context. For example, saying, “Kamu berani masuk goa itu?” means “Are you brave enough to go into that cave?”; “Kamu berani ama aku?” means “Do you want to take me on?”; and “Saya berani ambil resiko itu.” means “I’m prepared to take that risk”. Berani is a very Indonesian concept that reflects very much the culture and psyche of most Indonesians. Being a very communal society, particular in the villages, Indonesians often work together to create something for the common good (e.g. gotong royong to prepare and carry out a ceremony as Balinese so often do). Unfortunately, they sometimes also like to work together to do something for the common bad: e.g. mob violence or vigilantism. This is when they are most berani. Indonesians are seldom berani to act on their own. This may explain why few Indonesians are berani to complain to a neighbour about burning rubbish, ask the ‘nice smiley parking man’ to give them a ticket, or talk at a banjar meeting. In some cases, the lack of ‘berani-ness’ can be extreme: I even know teenage Balinese girls who are not ‘berani’ enough to go to a public toilet by themselves and even enter the cubicle in twos. Indonesians have a sort of love-hate relationship with the concept since a berani type of person can be seen as both being a hero and also someone who is uncouth (by speaking their mind in public, for example). Jakarta governor is a good example of someone who is berani but admired and hated at the same time. I feel that with the help of social media more Indonesians are speaking their minds and standing behind their principles: the cyclist who stood up to big bikers running red lights in the centre of Jogjya a few months back is a prime example. It seems that many Indonesians feel more secure hiding behind the semi-anonymity of social media or text messaging. Berani is indeed a word that is used a lot in everyday speech, somewhat ironically because it is often something that they are not prepared to do, at least on one’s own. If you’re a newcomer to Indonesian, the word is one that you will learn both through experience but also because you’re berani to speak up and try!

CANGGU NEWS

Petitenget to Pererenan

Iconic Bali villa now carries the Semara name

If you live, work, have a business or just have some exciting news about this area then we want to hear from you! Canggu News submissions for future editions are welcome to be emailed to: canggueditor@yahoo.com If you are submitting information about a future event, please be sure to provide accurate details regarding time and place and include pictures where relevant.

relaxation for the rich and famous the world over and is an idyllic venue for group holidays, weddings, anniversaries, special celebrations, corporate retreats and events.

The Semara Resorts Group has announced that its landmark Balinese property Villa Gaja Putih will now be known as Semara Beach House. To celebrate the new name, Semara is offering moneysaving rates until March 31, 2017, where holidaymakers can enjoy the stunning seven bedroom estate from USD 1980 ++ per night or from as little as USD 124 ++ per person per night. The offer includes airport arrival transfers, the use of a car and driver for eight hours per day, fully staffed villa with chefs and butlers from 7am to 10pm daily and platinum membership to Canggu Club. Comfortably accommodating up to 22 persons, the expansive Semara Beach House is located on absolute beachfront at Pantai Berawa (Berawa Beach), just 2km

JSA - Ready to Roll for Term Three

from the legendary Potato Head Beach Club and 3km from Ku De Ta in vibrant Seminyak. Semara Beach House features seven spacious bedrooms all with private ensuite open-air bathrooms, air conditioning and ceiling fans. Most bathrooms have double vanity sinks, double showers, a large bathtub, and bidets and each bedroom has at least one glass wall overlooking the ocean or gardens of the property. The villa can have eight bedrooms when converting the property’s media room to a bedroom. One of the few absolute beachfront properties in the Canggu/Seminyak precinct, the prestigious villa is set amongst a traditional Balinese village and retains large expanses of picturesque rice ﬁelds.

With nine different activities including a couple of newcomers to the block, this organisation, focused on encouraging kids to play, enhance skills and develop socially, truly has a sport to suit all tastes. Generally running the duration of each school term, all JSA programs enlist the facilities of The Canggu Club, ensuring a safe, accessible and secure environment and students are under the tutelage of professionally trained and experienced coaches.

With Olympian Luisa at the helm, swimming at JSA is stronger than ever and classes run after school from Monday to Saturday with lessons from beginners through to intermediate and advanced. There is even a baby swim class on Thursdays at 10.30am for new aqua bubs! Gymnastics, dance and trampolining continue to be popular choices.

Aligned with the Bali international schools calendar, the JSA term is ready to kick off for another season of awesome student sports.

Two new sports to the JSA line up are Netball and Tag Rugby. As an exciting addition to the existing two football codes, soccer and AFL Auskick, Tag Rugby is a whole new ball game. Still with the same basic skills as rugby, this game encourages on ﬁeld agility and develops ball handling skills without the risks of scrums and tackles. Using special velcro tags, the aim of the game is to score a try and evade ‘de

Canggu Club Set to Crank Up the Fun Factor this Australia Day Oi! Aussies! Keen to don your green and gold and let your spirit shine for the sunburnt country? Check out the line up of everything Aussie and all of this year’s Australia Day action on Sunday January 24th at The Canggu Club. Now the official date for Australia Day, January 26th, falls on a Tuesday this year, but there’s no need to take a sickie as the crew at the ‘Gu’s best club have decided to kick off celebrations on the Sunday prior so everyone can don their cozzies enjoy a day of fun in the sun. And we all know Aussies can’t wait to get the party started!

“Semara has proudly managed the iconic villa since 2013 and we thought it only ﬁtting that it should now carry the name synonymous with the most exclusive, luxury holiday and event experiences Bali has to offer,’’ she said. For bookings or further information visit www.semarabeachhouse.com or email reservations@semararesorts.com

tagging’ by the opposition. Fast moving and lots of fun, Tag Rugby is sure to be a winner with sessions for 11 year olds and under along with another for 12 years and above, both scheduled for Monday afternoons. Netball is also new and with impassioned and experienced player Yvette Manuel guiding the group, this sport is certain to generate some interest. Whether you are new to a netball court or you have been playing for seasons, netball at the Junior Sport Academy encourages everyone to have a go at shooting some goals. Sessions are every Monday and Wednesday. Teams are divided for youngsters from 8 - 11 years and one for 12 years and over. Netball training is located on the Canggu Club sports ﬁeld, or at the Multi Function Hall at CCS in the case of wet weather. Advance payment for 8 sessions or more can be made for all sports and Canggu Club members also enjoy a discounted price per session. For speciﬁc information regarding fees and session times for each sport, go to their website jsabali.com and click on the sports tab at the top of the home page. Term 3 commences this week (beginning Monday January 18th) but players are welcome to join at any time throughout the term. Get your kids off to a healthy start for 2016 and enroll today! For more info visit www.jsabali.com or email jsa@cangguclub.com

Serious sports action starts at 3pm with the annual Australia Day 20/20 cricket match. As usual, it’s Australia versus ‘the rest of the world’ and with the homeland still smarting after last year’s defeat, the Aussie underdogs will be out to win with a vengeance and take out all stops to dethrone the reigning champions from England, Indonesia, India, New Zealand....and....well anywhere else really! If you are eager to be a part of the match of the day, give Canggu Club Fitness coordinator Peter the heads up and register your interest to play by emailing peter@cangguclub. com. It’s a cracker of an afternoon of sport and spectators can join in with some seriously funny sledging from the sidelines. If it all gets a little hot under the collar on ﬁeld, you can always cool off in the air conditioned club bar and watch all of the excitement of the Australian Open Tennis with their live Australia Day telecast.

So don’t despair if you are not Down Under for our nation’s birthday this year, with The Canggu Club’s plans for a day of all things Aussie along with their line up of tucker, sports and trivia, it’ll feel just like Oz! Home grown Australian hits will be on air throughout the day as they broadcast Triple J’s Hottest 100 around the venue.

What better way to wind down the day than with a bit of afternoon trivia around the new Verandah Bar - Aussie style. See how much you know about our Great Southern Land as we ﬁnd out who really is full of awesome Aussie facts (and no doubt a bit of ﬁction!)

Start getting into the swing of things from midday with a BBQ lunch including spit roast, meat pies, sausage rolls, lamingtons, vanilla slice (always nice!) and even the iconic cheesymite scrolls. It’s happy hour all day so you can wash that lot down with a few icy cold ones. How’s that for a ridgy didge Aussie feast! There’ll be plenty to do for the whole family so bring the tin lids....err....kids and be a part of the entertainment with pavlova eating contests, ‘Classic Catch’ competitions in the Splash Lagoon Pool as well as NRL and AFL handball!

Director of sales and marketing for Semara Resorts Group, Kelly Sturgeon, said the renaming coincided with recent improvements to the property including new wedding facilities and landscaping.

Spacious and secluded, it has become a popular haven of

Term three still offers all the favourites like the consistently popular soccer, now on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Groups are divided into Tots, years 7+ and 9 years and over so that players get the optimum opportunity to develop necessary skills and play as part of a team amongst their peers.

It’s a new year and it’s a new term for the Junior Sports Academy!

Bali’s premier sports and entertainment venue, the Canggu Club, is just a ﬁve minute stroll away, featuring the island’s best ﬁtness centre with lap pool, sports ground and three tennis courts, plus trampoline centre, waterpark, tenpin bowling, Body Temple Spa, sports bar, kids club, member lounge, multiple restaurants and more.

There’s even a thong throwing championship so don’t forget to wear your double pluggers. (Note to other nationalitiesthongs are an item of footwear in Australia!!!)

As usual, entry on the day is free to Canggu Club members. Non members are more than welcome with entry to Splash Water Park included at only IDR 300,000 for adults and IDR 180,000 for children. Now you certainly don’t have to be an Aussie to be a part of the day, but you’d better be geared up for a crackin’ good time! www.cangguclub.com

HECTOR’S Modern Times There’s been an outbreak of nostalgia for the “old Bali” recently, one of those periodic episodes where everyone puts on their rose-tinted glasses and peers back into the past, fondly recalling what they think they remember. Ah, the old days! Things were so much better then. Fundamentally, that’s tosh. It’s certainly true that the economic value Bali has been able to add to itself and its people over the past 40 years has not been spread with anything like theoretical Marxist (or even Jesuit) perfection. To say nothing of the age-old Hindu culture that could sustain subsistence living for all, at a pinch, but is quite incapable of doing so in a modern monetary economy. It’s thoroughly arguable too that in the ambient social and cultural climate of Indonesia, wealth and its acquisitive bene¿ts will never be universally available. The poor will always be with us. As will the robber baron plutocracy and grasping kleptomaniacs. The poor are nicer people. The social welfare net that supports the mendicant classes in the western world won’t be replicated here, or anywhere in East Asia. And that’s not only because it’s plain that the overweening expectations about the immutability of that safety net will in the end cause the collapse of democratic capitalism and the western world with it. It’s chieÀy because the Eastern ethos is different. Progress is not always progressive or socially responsible. There’s a new book just out, by old Bali hand Phil Jarratt, called Bali: Heaven and Hell, which delineates the divide rather well. Fellow pioneer surfer Steve Palmer, a long-term ¿xture in Bali’s ¿rmament when he’s not schussing the ski slopes of western Canada and the United States, has a word in it. He remembers the days when reaching the Uluwatu surf breaks meant trekking through miles of cactus-lined cliff paths and that this was something done by relatively few people. Sitting in a traf¿c jam for hours is certainly a less appealing prospect. The old Bali is gone. Bits of it may still be seen, like sad little echoes of a past epoch, but we’ve all moved on. Unfortunately the landscape and the environment are less pleasant, both literally and ¿guratively. Gordon Gecko’s maxim holds sway here now. Greed is good. It’s the Balinese (and their fellow Indonesians who have made the island their home) who must deal with that. Perhaps Governor Pastika recognizes this and will ditch his Old Curiosity Shopful of ideas that sound good at the time, but fail the test of sentience, like the round-island railway and ¿lling in Benoa Bay for condominiums. He was reported as saying, after Travel + Leisure magazine named Bali as “one of the best islands in the world”, that this would simply ensure millions of tourists swarmed to Bali like ants. Um, a word in your ear, Guv.

Stardust to Stardust It was very sad to hear on Jan. 10 that British rock singer David Bowie had died of liver cancer. His chameleon character and eclectic musical styles were an adornment to the otherwise frequently vacuous rock culture of his era and his way of handling celebrity was admirable. He declined a knighthood in 2003. He recorded a last song only two days before his death. It’s a moving and extraordinarily symbolic monument to the place he knew he had in life. It followed release of his last album. These will surely be both his swansong and his epitaph. Perhaps his death and his ¿nal album are sad, in the saccharine way that western society seems to have made its leitmotif, but in fact his music and his manner are much better seen as an anthem to acceptance of inevitability. For that, too, he deserves high praise. He was 69. That’s far too young to comfortably shufÀe off this mortal coil. He will be missed, but his talent and music will never be forgotten.

Litter Louts At Perth international airport there’s a quaintly named Smokers’ Refuge. It’s possibly not unlike a leper colony in its own way. It’s outside the terminal building, as it should be, and is basically in the car park across the road. But there are sun umbrellas to shade you and plenty of bins for your butts. As a place of exile for those among us who still use a usuriously taxed legal product and yet are frowned upon for doing so, it ¿ts the bill quite nicely. Most of the people who use it seem to be airport or airline staff, and some members of that recently inaugurated and

nattily uniformed farce, the Australian Border Force. An occasional traveller drops by, either for a quick restorative draught after arrival or a last puff before having to submit to the arti¿cial air inside the terminal and the long drag in the metal tube that follows. Littering is a heinous offence in Australia, where in some places you can get stung the equivalent of between Rp5 million and Rp20 million for leaving a cigarette butt on the ground; and rightly so. But apparently this was of little moment to the three ladies in corporate uniforms we saw smoking there while they chatted in their break. They left an empty can of soft drink on a bench, right beside a bin, and the paving beneath them littered with butts. Shocking.

Home is Where the Art is For reasons which are private and entirely peripheral to the point of this item, we recently had to remove from storage, re-pack and then re-store, numerous items of value, intrinsic and otherwise, which we keep in Australia because there’s no room at The Cage. Among them are two lovely Made Kaek abstracts that caught our eye at an Ubud gallery in 2001 and which (of course) we promptly bought. They adorned our townhouse in Brisbane for four years, before – being greying nomads with absolutely no interest in buying a Winnebago – we moved to Bali. As the Distaff is a Westie (she’ll never be permitted to forget that, poor thing) that’s where we sent our memorabilia, our modest art collection, glassware, cutlery, sundry other household effects and a simply beautiful marble chess table and matching pieces. They were the collectibles of a life together that at that point had reached 26 years. You get less for murder these days, of course, but that too is peripheral to the point. Both the Made Kaek works had latterly and brieÀy hung at the matriarchal McMansion, which made visits there even more pleasant than ever. But when we came to repack our stuff for future storage, one of the works had suffered seriously cracked glass. Naturally, Sod’s Law being what it is, this was discovered in the midst of Australia’s summer slumber and only two days before the truck was to come to take it and everything else away to Perth. Happily, we found Sarah Bowes of Country Road Picture Framers in Busselton, to whose house – after a phone call – we repaired post-haste. She broke into her holiday downtime to replace the glass and re-back the frame. We cannot thank her enough for her skill, her willingness to accommodate our urgent schedule, and the comfortable cost of the operation that she performed. Take that as a high recommendation.

And There’s the Rub Getting home is always a blessing. Even if you discover on arrival that your internet isn’t functioning because your ISP has obviously sequestered the substantial megabytes of upload and download that you have paid for and that this requires four telephone calls to restore. Three of these calls mysteriously dropped out mid-conversation. Perhaps the unfortunate lackeys with whom we were conversing couldn’t ¿nd a handy friend who had done it. Never mind. This indelicacy, along with others, was vitiated by a visit to our preferred local salon, Island Spa in Jimbaran, where restorative massages were enjoyed. Well, partly so. During his massage The Diary, perhaps incautiously, said when prompted by the therapist well into the 60-minute session that slightly stronger pressure might be in order. It was very good, since the seat pitch on Jetstar’s Airbus 320s is not septuagenarian friendly, but it cost Rp110K instead of the Rp80K that had been booked. The masseuse was commendably young and highly skilled, but an otherwise unmentioned 30 per cent rise in the tariff was perhaps a little stiff for the additional service rendered. Still, best not to be churlish. Everyone needs to make a crust. There are signi¿cant pluses, also. We have our temporary resident permit process under way, albeit with added irritations, and have restored to working order the Distaff’s CIMB debit card that had very unkindly expired in her absence.

DENGUE UPDATE If these were ordinary times we’d now be well into the rainy season and up to our knees in mud. But they’re not ordinary times. The monsoon in Bali has failed for the ¿rst time since 1997. We’re in big trouble. But that’s another story.

To manage the headache and joint pain take Tylenol/ acetaminophen (not aspirin, Panadol or Ibuprophon which may increase the chance of bleeding). Tjok De still hasn’t found enough cases for or against the hypothesis that dengue will get worse with subsequent infections.

The two heavy rains and handful of light showers in Ubud was all it took, however, to hatch this year’s crop of Aedes mosquitoes with their unpleasant cargo of dengue fever. Several friends have already succumbed. I had dengue fever last year and can con¿dently report that it really takes the stuf¿ng out of you.

Prevention Tjok De dispenses a dengue fever nosode, a homeopathic preparation of the dengue virus which can be taken to prevent infection. He offers this tincture to his patients both to prevent and treat dengue, with good results. Of course the best prevention is to avoid being bitten, but neither DEET nor herbal compounds seem to deter these bloody mosquitoes.

The eggs are laid during the wet season and stay viable for up to 18 months, hatching as soon as they get wet. Until recently it was thought that the mosquito caught the dengue virus from human carriers and then passed it to every person she bit subsequently. But it’s believed that the larvae now hatching already have the virus in their systems. Up to 100 million people a year get dengue fever. Research on the virus has mostly been conducted in tropical countries where the disease is rife, but now that it’s appearing in the United States and Australia the developed world is beginning to take notice too. Today, dengue is the fastest spreading vector-borne disease in the world. There’s no cure for dengue but there are scienti¿cally researched herbal remedies available here which can inhibit the virus and help build platelets. I interviewed Tjokorda Gede Kerthyasa, an Australian-trained homeopath who’s studied dengue fever intensively for over ¿ve years. Tjok De has excellent results preventing and treating dengue with homeopathic remedies, and agrees that some herbal remedies are also very effective. Identifying dengue fever “Dengue is a virus which is constantly mutating and has a wide range of symptoms. It’s a very elusive, adaptive, chameleon-type of virus. Research on dengue in Indonesia is very poor, and the virus changes every season,” Tjok De explains. “Incubation is 3 to 14 days. It usually hits hard at ¿rst, so during the ¿rst stage the patient is very lethargic, often with debilitating headaches and variable fever. If the virus is treated at this stage there’s a much better chance of managing it with herbal medicines and homeopathy.” There are two speci¿c blood tests for dengue fever. The most accurate is the NS1 test which is only available in Prodia Lab; it can detect dengue on the ¿rst day of infection. The traditional IGM or Antigen test won’t get a positive reading until day four or ¿ve. The acute phase of dengue lasts from 5 - 7 days. There’s no classic pro¿le for dengue fever because there are so many variables. These(which can vary in severity) may include headache, lethargy, fever, muscle/bone pain, vomiting, diarrhea and an itchy rash on the palms and soles. Blood platelet levels can drop dramatically. In Bali doctors suggest hospitalization if the levels drop below 100 but in Thailand they hospitalise at 50.

There’s no cure for dengue but there are scienti¿cally researched herbal remedies available here which can inhibit the virus and help build platelets. Using Antivirals Early in the Infection What happens when you’re bitten by an infected mosquito? The denguefever virus enters the bloodstream, penetrates the cell nucleus and reprograms the nucleus to replicate the virus. The nucleus then bursts the cell membrane and releases the dengue virus into the bloodstream (phagocytosis). There’s a narrow window of opportunity to abort the virus before phagocytosis takes place. Temu Kunci/Bosenbergia Rotunda is a potent antiviral that grows freely in Bali. The Àavonoids in the temu kunci root inhibit re-entry of the viruses into new cells, meaning that it stops the virus in its tracks. Clinical research shows that the Àavonols found in Bosenbergia rotunda have low toxicity and a strong inhibitory effect against the dengue virus.The hard science is at hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2012/473637.pdf To use temu kunci in early stage dengue, scrub about 300 grams of the fresh root and put through the juicer or blender, or smash it ¿nely in a mortar with a little water. Make up to 1 litre with room temperature water (sweeten with honey) and take three times a day in 250 ml doses. Do not heat or freeze. I tincture it in season. Increasing Platelets There’s been a lot of research on papaya/Carica papaya leaf extract since I last researched this subject in 2014. A number of studies have con¿rmed the work of Dr. SanathHettige of Sri Lanka, who claimed that the leaf extract increases the white blood cells and blood platelets and normalises the clotting pro¿le which are major aspects of

the disease. The extract also helps repair the damage caused to liver cells by dengue fever. The hard science is at www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2013/616737 and http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4071726 Preparation and dosage: the papaya leaves (of any variety) should be well washed, crushed with a mortar and then squeezed through a clean, damp cloth to extract the juice or blenderised with a little water. Only the leaf material is used, not the leaf spines or sap. The extract should be consumed fresh and raw (without adding water, salt or sugar) at a dose of 10 - 15 ml twice a day for adults and 5 - 10 ml for children between the ages of ¿ve and 12. It is very bitter (as all effective medicinal herbs seem to be). There’s been some talk locally about guava (Psidiumguajava) in the treatment of dengue, but I was able to ¿nd very little clinical research on it. It seems that a tea of boiled guava leaves contains more of the Àavonol quercetin than the fruit and is therefore more effective in increasing platelets. But drinking a lot of guava juice has the bene¿t of rehydrating the patient which is a big issue with dengue. One of the most broad-based papers I found online was a study of 31 plants which may be effective against dengue at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3765846. Last month ParacelsusAsia wrote an excellent article on the world’s ¿rst vaccine for dengue. French drugmaker Sano¿ which developed Dengvaxia claims that it will reduce the number of cases by over 50% and hospitalization by 80%. The issue is availability; it’s unclear where or when it can be purchased here. Many of us have been exposed to dengue fever but only a small fraction become symptomatic; of those, very few will get really sick. Dengue is self-limiting and can usually be treated at home. Most people who get dengue report dealing with some stress or trauma in the previous week, which weakens the immune system. So stay calm and carry on.

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Growing Herbs and Vegetables in the Tropical Climate ‘Dear Kris, I have attempted to grow several different kinds of herbs and veggies in our home in Sanur. Everything seems to start off very well but after a few weeks wilts and dies. So far, I have tried long beans, tomatoes, basil, parsley and chives all to no avail. Is there a certain time of year that I should plant certain veggies? I have gotten potting soil from local suppliers to plant the seeds in. I am a teacher in a school in Sanur and would love to set up a school garden but as I can’t manage to get things going myself at home I am afraid to try. Are there any books or websites that you recommend? I am from Ireland so not used to gardening in a tropical climate. Thank you very much for your help. Warmest regards, Nadia’ Growing herbs and vegetables in the tropics can be tough, especially if you are trying to grow plants suited to a temperate climate. Tropical humidity can affect the pollination of vegetables, and also cause various fungal diseases. In general because of the high rainfall and humidity of the wet season it is best to grow most of your vegetables through the dry season, from March to September. The weather will be warm, humidity will be low, and your seedlings and plants won’t get Àooded by rains. Insects are also less of a problem during this time of the year. Choose plants that are best suited for these hot dry conditions. Trying to grow a cool climate vegetable such as lettuce or traditional spinach would be very challenging and the plants will most likely bolt to seed before you have anything signi¿cant to harvest. Vegetables that will do best in the dry season include tomatoes, capsicums, eggplants, kale, cucumbers, pumpkins, radishes, zucchinis, squash, sweet potato, snake beans, shallots, even watermelon. Most of the dry season crops can’t stand humidity, so avoid growing them in the wet season. You can start raising seeds indoors in February and plant them out in March. That gives you just enough time to start planning what you would like to grow, devise a layout, and begin preparing your garden beds, the growing season is really only a few weeks away!

Year round try growing what the locals grow, how about kangkung (water spinach), it’s so hardy you can even see it being grown on small plots between buildings, or by the roadside in and around Denpasar. It will grow on land or in water year round as long as you keep it moist. Most leafy asian greens should do well year round with suf¿cient moisture. Try bok choi, gai-lan (Chinese broccoli) and rocket. Celery can also be grown quite easily. How about chilli’s, happy either in the ground or also in pots. You can easily grow a choko vine year round it will become quite proli¿c providing large crops year after year. It is also used in various local dishes, curries and Padang food. For herbs try what is grown locally. Lemon grass, Thai basil, Vietnamese mint, ginger, tumeric and galangal. Grow Thai basil, as traditional sweet basil will struggle with the heat and bolt to seed leaving you no leaves. Chives should do ok, but if you are having trouble try hardy garlic chives instead. Gardeners all over the temperate regions lament the fact that they don’t have the climate for growing exciting herbs such as ginger and turmeric, but you have this fantastic opportunity! It makes basil, parsley and chives seem quite boring really. If you have a suitable area you could also try growing trees or vines that will produce fruit quickly such as passion fruit, papaya or bananas. These are probably the easiest, and they don’t require a huge amount of space. You can grow vines along fences, walls, even along balconies or any other suitable structure. Banana trees are also easy to grow, just remember to regularly cut off the dead leaves to avoid pest infestation and diseases.

Papaya is a tree that you can grow quickly from seed, and it can bear fruit within a year of planting. Green papaya can also be eaten as a vegetable in salads. Papaya juice is very refreshing, the seeds and leaves have multiple medicinal uses when infused as teas or eaten. The seeds can even be dried and substituted for pepper, or if you’re like me chewed up and eaten fresh when still soft. When thinking vegetables and herbs, it’s natural to think about tomatoes, parsley etc. but to grow in the middle of the wet season is just too problematic. You will have much greater success sowing your traditional temperate crops in the dry season (March to September). The humidity of the tropics causes a multitude of fungus related problems spreading from the soil to the leaves, during the wet season even growing frangipani can become a challenge! For traditional herbs (I do love parsley although I said it was boring) it should be possible with some trial and error. You can control moisture and humidity by growing them in pots and then moving them indoors during extreme heat or wet periods. Putting sand or ¿ne gravel through the potting medium will enhance soil drainage. Grow them on a sunny windowsill by creating a suitable microclimate. Most herbs can be successfully grown indoors with a few hours direct sunlight. The advantages are that they can be given protection from the intense heat of the midday sun and excessive moisture from heavy downpours, then you might be able to grow them year-round. Air-conditioned homes will also reduce humidity problems. When growing in pots remember to empty saucers regularly to reduce dengue risk. Make sure your vegetables and herbs are planted in a free draining soil or they will never stand a chance from the outset. You can prepare your won soil by mixing compost with sand. To succeed with any vegetables or herbs outdoors you ideally should try to grow plants that are best suited to the year round climate and conditions of your locality, then you will have more success, less frustration and a plentiful harvest.

Candi Tebing Kalebutan: Monumental Bali The Kurt Vonnegut dictum, “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God,” spoke directly to me as I stepped down onto the slushy narrow border of a rice ¿eld meandering off into the distance, presumably the way to an obscure and little known temple located somewhere along the banks of the Kalebutan River southwest of Tatiana. Built over 700 years ago in a hazy, mysterious and essentially very different a g e , C a n d i Te b i n g Kalebutan (“holy spring water)” lies in a river gorge in the Pejeng area of Gianyar, Bali’s oldest archaeological region stretching from the south coast to upland climes over 800 meters above sea level. Two legendary rivers, the Pakrisan and the Petanu, Àow through Closeup of temple cliffside temple this renowned “Valley of the Kings” which is particularly rich in historical remains with literally hundreds of old shrines and sacred springs. Probably scores more are waiting to be discovered. During the early centuries of the last millennium, growing maritime trade between China and India resulted in the emergence of trading entrepots in Sumatra, West Java, Kalimantan and Bali. By the 5th and 6th centuries, Indic religions and Hindu-Buddhist traditions were spreading throughout the archipelago. Shards of Indian porcelain and Chinese bronze artifacts have been found in Pacung and Sembiran in northern Bali, material evidence that Bali was a part of an international trading network. A 10-km-long strip of land between Bedulu and Pejeng – “The Land Between the Rivers” - is densely packed with such ancient archaeological treasures as the Elephant Cave hermitage, the rock carvings of Yeh Pulu and the immense “Moon of Pejeng” bronze drum which hangs in a roofed shrine in the Pura Panataran Sasih. The magni¿cent 11th Century royal tombs at Gunung Kawi is a complex of consisting of three clusters numbering a total of 10 candi (royal memorial temples) cut into living rock averaging 10 m in height. Its wealth of scattered monasteries, cloisters, meditation cells, sacred watering pools, shrine compounds, inscriptions and early bronze plates con¿rm the existence of a once-powerful pre-Hindu kingdom devoted to the cult of ancestors where religion, art, architecture and technology Àourished. Myths relate how the thumbnails of Kebo Iwo, a mythical giant, carved masterpieces in rock. Extant irrigation tunnels, intricate rice ¿eld terracing and rock carved candi are further evidence of this kingdom. In this early period of Balinese history, great mythological battles are said to have raged in Gianyar between the gods and the evil King Mayadanawa of Bedulu. Details of these ancient conÀicts have been passed down in oral histories and recorded in Bali’s 16th C. epic poem written during the island’s Golden Age. These folk tales depict the advent of Hinduism and the end of old customs. Historians theorized that the evil king may have simply been a rebel leader who opposed the adoption of Hinduism on Bali. A Lost Temple With no idea of what I’d find or what would happen along the way that day, I thought about h o w a n c i e n t monumental Bali continues to be a mystery to the majority o f a m a t e u r archaeologists like myself. Most papers, articles and books on the subject have been written by Dutch specialists in Dutch, a dif¿cult language not easily understood. The rock cut candi over the Kalebutan River wasn’t even

discovered until 1928 after a landslide uncovered both the rock wall and the candi carved into it. That same year Rudolph Bonnet made a rendering, but the candi was “forgotten” yet again as vegetation covered it. There was much dif¿culty ¿nding it for the second time when archaeological work resumed after the Second World War.

animistic ideas of water’s life-giving nature. One can’t help but wonder how many more lichen-covered antiquities still lie under the earth, hidden in the depths of ravines and carved into cliffs of gorges behind earth, vegetation and shrub.

The jungle temple was ¿nally rediscovered in 1951. On the ravine’s opposite side Mr. Krijgsman, who conducted the 1951 excavations, uncovered a cloister unknown even to local villagers. It consisted of a square courtyard with a central platform and niches in the surrounding walls. In the rock beneath the monastery were more rooms accessible from the courtyard by steps. A hole in the rock opening to one of the alcoves led Mr. Krijgsman to his astonishing discovery. The entire complex was covered in earth, trees and shrubs.

Rock cut candi construction never again reached the grand scale of the Gunung Kawi temples, Bali’s most impressive ancient monument. The carving out of temples in high relief into cliff sides deep within ravines such as found on the Kalebutan River had all but ceased by the 14th Century, giving way to the open-courtyard temples in easy-to-reach locales. This shift in emphasis from mass to space dramatically increased public access and participation in royal rituals. It’s been speculated that elaborate rock cut shrines were an expense that royalty could no longer afford. Convincing the masses of their own worth as rulers became more important.

After the 1951 cleaning, Candi Tebing Kalebutan was only to vanish yet one more time under thick vegetation until 1971 when Bernet Kempers from Holland surveyed the monument for his timeless Monumental Bali: Introduction to Balinese Archaeology Guide to Monuments (Van Goor Zonen Den Haag). At a toko pulsa in the village of Kalebutan we asked directions and a guide – Nyoman – eventually presented himself. The temple is only accessible by walking through rice fields over shallow irrigation canals, most of the way along slippery dikes separating the paddy with no buildings in sight. After 20 minutes and several of wrong turns, we ¿nally emerged on to an overgrown cement walk way. Water from irrigation ditches ran through organic debris, leaves and dirt until a path with a railing began to descend. On the right, a steep walk led down into the foliage. Nyoman told us that way would eventually take us to the village of Beji. We continue down a stone staircase with broad steps - wet but in good condition - until we were completely enveloped in a deep ravine. At the bottom a statue of a holy man sat in its own enclosure before a shallow cove, a bathing pool and sweet-smelling frangipani trees on along the river’s banks. On the other side was a towering stone cliff. Looking up, a 3.5 m high pagoda-like candi carved in relief was cut deep into a 2-m-wide rock niche more than 5 m above the riverbed. At each side of the relief were two holes, the use of which has never been explained. The candi’s slender build, marked by its successive pro¿les, narrow roof and potbellied roof turrets suggest a date perhaps 300 years later than similarly rock-cut candi such as the much larger complex of Gunung Kawi, built in the 11th Century. The relief is partly worn away, considerably more so than when it was ¿rst discovered and drawn by Bonnet. A blank pilaster runs over the pedestal’s middle and continues on the temple body. A doorway or niche in front of the temple body contains the standing ¿gure of a deity. The kala heads usually situated above such an opening have been transplanted to over the pedestal’s cornice. Faint traces of the heads can still be barely made out. The 1951 uncovering of the candi was extended to the rock wall below, which led to the discovery of two broken vertical shafts containing nothing but earth washed into them from above. A bowl-shaped cavity was at the bottom of one of them. Irregularly shaped holes had been bored through the shafts’ walls. There may even be no connection at all between the holes and the candi and were probably only sections of an irrigation system. Monuments with bathing pools combined Indian notions of water’s ritual cleaning power and indigenous

Temples for a New Age

A notable example of the open courtyard architectural style is the old imperial temple of Pura Panataran Sasih in Pejeng, 500 m north of Museum of Archaeology Gedong Arca on right side of Jl. Raya Ta m p a k s i r i n g . I n t h e northeast corner of this large, walled compound, high up in a roofed shrine, hangs the famous Moon of Pejeng, one of the most remarkable archaeological artifacts ever discovered in Bali. Other “megalithic” style temples in the Pejeng area include Pura Ebo Edan and Pura Pusering Jagat (”Temple of the navel of the world”). For these sites, which don’t require entrance fees, I just signed the visitor’s book and gave a small donation. Pura Arjuna Metapa (”Temple where Arjuna Meditated”), just south of Pura Pusering Jagat in the middle of picturesque sawah, is not actually a Balinese pura in the strictest sense of the word with meru roofs, candi bentar gateway, pavilions, kulkul drum tower, etc. - but an intriguing collection of statuary. On the day I visited, a group of rice farmers with their agricultural tools were resting under the shade of the small roofed pavilion in a perfect harmony of the spiritual and the secular. The sculptural group here represents a well-known passage from the Mahabharata composed under the rule of King Airlangga around 1035 AD. Arjuna is known as an epic hero and superb warrior throughout South and S. E. Asia. In this story, Arjuna is mediating in a mountaintop in order to gather strength for an upcoming battle with the evil demon Niwata Kawaca. The gods test Arjuna’s steadfastness by sending down two celestial dedari or nymphs to disturb the ascetic’s deep concentration. The very name of this temple is translated as “Temple Where Arjuna Meditated.” In the end, Arjuna does not fall for the gestures of the celestial beauties and passes the Gods’ test, marrying a dedari in heaven after he defeats the ogre king. The rough-hewn deity is Àanked by stone renditions of Twalen and Merdah, trusted attendants who never leave his side. The crude statue, which was partly restored by the Archeological Service in 1952, was probably a centerpiece in a former watering place in pre-Majapahit Bali. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2016 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

“A Ripe Old Age” A disturbing event occurred recently which served as a grim reminder of the dangers of inadequate electrical installation that can cause serious damage and, as in this case, loss of life. Several weeks ago a man who had fairly recently bought a house in Bali was cleaning out his fish pond when a plug and socket in a power chord fell into the pond, he was electrocuted. The event was a tragedy but made all the more so when we consider that, had his electrical systems been properly designed and installed, he would still be alive today. This is not an isolated case. We are all aware that some years ago an Australian tourist was killed when he touched a steel pole on a footpath in Kuta that was holding a faulty shop sign. Once again if the electrical systems had been correctly installed they should have cut out if there was a fault. Loose electrons can be very dangerous and, of course, we can’t see them. Rather like lovestruck dogs chasing a bitch on heat those naughty little electrons have a way of getting totally out of control, they will head for earth given half a chance and, if that means through you, you won’t stand much of a chance. How vulnerable are we all in our daily lives? Let us look at some basics of electrical safety. We all know that if you come into contact with live electricity the power will flow through you to find its way to earth and in our daily lives this could happen in many different ways: 1. Poor installations where bare wires are left exposed or where loose copper braids in wiring joints touch other wires or nearby metal creating a “short circuit”. 2. Damaged wires that come into contact with the metal body of electrical appliances such as washing machines toasters, hair driers, fridges, kettles, microwaves, computer cabinets, cooking stoves, water heaters, pumps, etc. 3. Poor quality or damaged extension leads. 4. Electrical cables damaged by rats or abrasion that come into contact with steel structures or water systems. 5. Garden wiring that is not properly insulated. The list goes on and on. To protect you and yours we can take four important steps: 1. We make sure that our electrical systems are properly designed and installed with connections properly made, no short circuits, wires fully insulated, joints installed in junction boxes and wiring protected from damage by rats or abrasion by enclosing them in conduit (plastic pipe). 2 We install circuit breakers (miniature circuit breakers or MCBs) making sure they are large enough to suit the equipment being used but also small enough to make sure they cut out if there is an unexpected surge in power. We want those circuit breakers to trip out if there is a fault. In Indonesia buildings are burning down all the time due to short circuits when circuit breakers do not cut out. 3 We connect anything that could possible become “live” to earth such as the bodies of household appliances. If there is a fault a surge of power will run to earth and should cut out a circuit breaker to stop the flow of power. 4 We install earth leakage detectors and we make sure that self styled “electricans” don’t disable them. Earth leakage detectors will detect a leakage to earth (perhaps through you or through that adventurous little boy that stuck his digit in the plug socket) and will cut out faster than a flea can cough and before you meet your maker. It isn’t rocket science but unfortunately, in many buildings in Indonesia (including newly built luxury villas) these steps are very rarely correctly satisfied. Most people see circuit breakers and assume that these provide protection - in most cases they won’t. In virtually all installations you will find the PLN master circuit breaker will cut out before the individual circuits do. This is not good, if you have an electrical fault and a circuit breaker trips out you know you have a fault and you know which circuit the fault is on. Unfortunately this is often too much trouble for the average seller of carved chess sets who solves the problem - not by finding and correcting the fault but by installing a larger circuit breaker so it won’t cut out. However, even if a circuit breaker does cut out, it will not be quick enough to save your life. To safeguard your life we need an earth leakage detector - a switch that detects even a very small power leakage through you to earth and instantly, faster than you can say “Oh” (as in “Oh bugger me, that hurts”), it cuts out. Properly earthed circuits with earth leakage circuit breakers (RCBOs as they are called) would have detected the extension lead short circuit when it fell in the fish pond and would have saved our Australian friend’s life. Unfortunately it is highly likely that he would have been unaware of the inadequacies of his electrical installation.

For people born and brought up in countries where electrical safety (and all safety for that matter) is fully understood we can rely on well defined and properly enforced government regulations to keep us safe, we just take it for granted and probably become complacent to it. (It has to be said that in some countries, where you need a certificate of compliance for your finger nail before you are allowed to pick your nose, the Health and Safety people do seem to be going a tad too far). Foreigners coming to Indonesia can be forgiven for assuming that tradesmen are capable and that systems are regulated but unfortunately, for most “electricians”, being shown how to brew a good cup of Balinese coffee is the nearest they have ever had to vocational training. Here in Indonesia there is a well defined electrical standard (SNI 04-0225-2000 known as PUIL 2000) which is based on the European electrical standard but unfortunately the tattoo salesmen, bakso rollers, satay wafters and collectors of discarded aluminium cans who find electrical installation a far more lucrative endeavour know nothing of the legal requirement to comply with PUIL 2000 even if they did have a smidgeon of an inkling that such a thing existed.

If You Have a Problem with.....

It goes without saying that we need to be particularly careful with anything that can conduct electricity. We have already mentioned the usual household equipment but there are some areas that perhaps we don’t pay much attention to. Steel Roof and Wall Frames These days lightweight zinc plated steel is being used for roof frames (much cheaper than timber) and in some cases wall framing. We also find steel tube being used to build carports, awning frames and marquees.

If we install lighting, plug sockets, fans or electrical switches on these steel frames we have the potential for the steel frame to become live which could be very dangerous. It is a good idea to make sure such frames are connected directly to a good earth.

Swimming pools and Pump Rooms Swimming Pools can be particularly dangerous and there is a history of people being electrocuted in their swimming pools in this country. This is why it is required that swimming pool lights are 12 volt rather than 220 volts so that if there is a short circuit people in contact with the water will be safe.

C/Bm/I-11 Nov 15

Even so it is well to remember that there are still plenty of sources of full 220 volt power around a swimming pool that could come into contact with your swimming pool water. In the pump room there will probably be the pool pump, distribution box, pump timer, pump room light and switch, pool lighting transformers and chlorine equipment. It is good to make sure there are no leaks in the system, that rain cannot get into the pump room, that the balance tank cannot overflow into the pump room, that condensation build up is not excessive and that local flooding will not run into the pump room (all of these I have come across in the past). Some people install a sump in the bottom of their pump room (a square box formed into the concrete floor to collect any stray water) with a float controlled submersible pump that will pump water out of the pump room if it happens to flood. Fish ponds can also be dangerous usually having a circulation pump and quite often underwater lighting. Inspect these things regularly and repair any faults. Water Heaters Water heaters can also be dangerous and people have been known to die in their showers. In the past water pipes were often made of steel which provided an effective earth for water systems. These days systems use PVC pipes meaning that the water may not be effectively earthed. If the copper sleeve containing the electric element of a water heater corrodes (which they often do) and water comes into contact with the electrical element inside your water can become “live”. It is a good idea to make sure that the water in your water systems is effectively connected to earth. So keep those very useful though somewhat cantankerous little electrons under control and you can increase your chances of living to a ripe old age. Keep safe.

BA Feature Article

20 January - 03 February, 2016

BA Feature Article Yayasan Cahaya Mutiara Ubud A Shiny Pearl with Many Glows By Ines Wynn

They are one lusty, gregarious and positive bunch, these 23 boys and girls, ages 16 to 45, who belong to Yayasan Cahaya Mutiara Ubud (YCMU), an NGO with a different slant. For starters, the name they chose for their group, Shiny Pearl Foundation, encapsulates their desire to cultivate their innate abilities themselves rather than depend on help from other charitable organizations. In their own words: “We chose this name for its meaning; imagine a sea shell, its form is not as beautiful as a Àower and the way it moves is quite unique, but if you let it grow and support it with a good environment it will produce a very beautiful pearl, a shining pearl that becomes useful. We want to be like that sea shell. Whilst we may have physical disabilities or what many would consider disadvantages, if we are given the chance and support, we are sure that we may be just like anyone else.”

The YCMU Center is located in Tampaksiring and also houses an ashram with a capacity of 14 beds; 6 spaces for men, 6 spaces for women, and 2 rooms for married couples. Of the 23 members, 9 are girls and about 10 members live on the premises. Some of the members work paid jobs in administration and management. Besides providing a welcoming environment for boarders and non-boarders alike where they can be together and socialize, they have created many projects that are geared to construct a sustainable and ful¿lling life for their members. Goals & Dreams- This foundation is a tad different from other organizations that are set up to help the disabled. YCMU was established in 2014 by a group of young and dynamic handicapped people to offer support to and create opportunities for other physically challenged people. Their slogan is “United in Spirit to Reach our Dreams” and it was chosen to remind everyone involved that this group operates on the self-help principle, not relying on assistance from NGOs to do things for them. They ¿gure that the best way to reach their goals is to incorporate every member’s dream into a collaborative series of projects. The common thread in their dreams is to be independent, to earn enough money by their own efforts so they can sustain themselves and live a ful¿lling life. It boils down to the formula self-reliant + productive=self-sufficient. YCMU helps their members reach their goals by teaching them the skills to have productive lives and to give them the support of the community in a cooperative and encouraging way. Funding - The funds to allow them to do that come from a variety of sources like donations, volunteer time or the selling of products and services created by the members themselves. They use crowd funding to help kickstart those projects that require an immediate cash infusion like their current permaculture garden project. This particular garden project was conceived with the goal to grow their own food and though the completed project is estimated at 80 million rupiah, they solicited just USD1000 on the Indiegogo crowd funding site to get them started. Within a few weeks they received more than double that amount which allowed them to continue with the next step in their project plan. They also organize charity events for which they provide the entertainment and some of their handicrafts are put up for auction. A charity event held at Eco-villa Serenity in Canggu last October netted over 20 million rupiah. They do not receive government support. Programs & projects - YCMU offers several programs that cater to the needs, passions and talents of the members. The

goal of these activities is two-fold: for the pure joy of engaging a passion and to train members as professionals so they can earn an income and be independent. Under the arts banner, members can choose from dance, theater, music and painting. A gallery space is provided for creative members to sell their paintings or handycrafts like jewelry and house wares. YCMU already has trained its own traditional Balinese dance team that can be hired for performances. English and computer skills are taught as well. Sports are an important component of the foundation’s activities. Members can engage in weightlifting, basketball and chess. Weightlifting is done in collaboration with the National Paralympic Committee in Gianyar and this allows the YCMU participants to compete in several events in Bali and the Asian Paralympic games. The Bali Sports Foundation (BSF) works with YCMU members to improve their skills to play wheelchair basketball. One of the YCMU members, Nyoman Rudiawan, is a trophied sharpshooter who regularly competes in national competitions. For those not drawn to art or sports, there is always a game of chess. YCMU manager Ketut loves a good game and is currently ranked number one in Bali in the provincial paralympic games. The Organic Permaculture Garden Project- YCMU’s most recent endeavor is to build an organic permaculture garden to produce 100% of their food on a 10 are adjacent plot of land. The community feels that it is of utmost importance to have full control over the safety, reliability and integrity of the food they consume. Eating clean organic produce free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers is crucial to maintaining good health especially for the physically disabled. Already every inch of available outdoor space in the YCMU compound has been co-opted for growing fruits, vegetables and herbs. After a bountiful ¿rst harvest of tomatoes, chilies and sundry vegetables, the plan was conceived for the expansion to permaculture organic gardening as a logical next step. The permaculture garden will include a chicken coop, a pond for aquaculture and a cowshed that produces biogas. It is to be wheelchair accessible so the members can work and maintain the garden themselves with just a minimum of abledbody assistance. Thanks to their successful crowdfunding appeal the ¿rst stage of the permaculture project has already been installed. Garden beds have been created and a big chicken coop houses 53 happy chooks. Fruit trees like papaya, banana and coconuts will soon deliver the ¿rst crops. Instead of the traditional raised gardening beds, one of the volunteers came up with the idea of installing stacked truck tires as gardening beds. This turned out to be an ingenious idea as the gardening beds, arranged in neat rows, are even more accessible by wheelchair bound members. The next step calls for the construction of a cow shed and the acquisition of livestock such as a cow and some pigs. Cow and pig manure will provide a constant Àow of top quality fertilizer crucial for the enrichment of the soil. The manure will also create large amounts of methane gas that can be used to fuel generators and stoves. In order to capture and process this methane a biogas plant is to be built that will also process residual waste from livestock, manure, kitchen and garden waste. At some point a ¿sh pond will be constructed. The nourished pond water will then be used to hydrate the garden beds. A water catchment system will be installed to store rain water and distribute it evenly throughout the property and as a reservoir for the dry season. A grey water management system will redirect shower and tap runoffs and be the main source of water for the ¿sh pond. The permaculture garden is a great project because it provides a unique opportunity for all members to participate according to their abilities. Since the greater portion of the area will be wheelchair accessible, the community can be involved in the project and be integrated in the overall experience. The green thumbs can regale themselves planting and nurturing the edibles, the animals can be tended by other members and the garden itself will provide a wonderful and healthy respite. Looking Forward - Besides the permaculture project, YCMU is actively looking for other projects that can provide a living

wage for their members. They have many tools including a sewing machine that can be used. One of their current projects is to sew batik pouches for glass drinking straws. “We are Cahaya Mutiara Ubud Foundation - Shiny Pearl Ubud Foundation” it says proudly on their newly created website, “a local foundation established by and for people with physical disabilities. We collaborate together, accepting each other as we are whilst striving to rise above our circumstances and pass this inspiration onto others. Our Vision is the awakening of confidence in ourselves, in our families and in our relationship with society. Our Mission is to foster and develop skills leading to self-reliance.” Volunteering and networking- The emphasis on self-help is working. Together they are much more than the sum of their individual abilities and talents. On meeting them, the smiles and happy dispositions attest to their positive and motivated outlook in life. Foremost they help themselves; but they are also very appreciative of volunteers who help them in their various projects and programs, like art, music or dance teachers, or simply people who will challenge them to a game of chess. Two Dutch interns will be joining them shortly to help in the sports program as advisors and therapists. One big dream is to be able to offer physiotherapy to their wheelchair bound members and also to acquire the skills and training to provide the service themselves. AVI, a volunteer program funded by the Australian government has sent ad hoc volunteers. Volunteers could help them in the permaculture project, especially for tasks like tying up their vertical gardens. Or a trainer in their sports program to help some of their members get prepared for participation in the Paralympics Games. They also would welcome some help and advice in the marketing of their handicrafts. The ultimate goal for Ya y a s a n C a h a y a Mutiara is to become a showcase for a g r e e n a n d s u s t a i n a b l e organization that will be a shining example f o r o t h e r organizations and an inspiration for surrounding villages. They want to make theirs a truly selfsuf¿cient organization that grows their own food, practices responsible environmental stewardship and shows to the outside world that disabled people can be productive and responsible members of society at large. The YCMU compound has dreams of becoming a community center for able and disabled people alike, a day center where people can come to learn valuable skills, a communal work center and a place to share food, dreams, companionship and happiness. YCMU also likes the idea of mutual assistance through networking. They want to interact with individuals and other like-minded organizations to share their knowledge and experience and in turn, bene¿t from new ideas. If you want to volunteer, visit or help in any fashion, check out their website cahayamutiaraubud.weebly.com or call their operations manager, head-motivator and all-around guyFriday Ketut Budiarsa at 081 338 94000. And if you have superÀuous household items or pre-loved items such as mattresses, bedding, kitchen & household utensils or music instruments that would be useful in their many programs and their compound, they would be very welcome.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

DEATH by DROWNING - A Tragic Waste of Life Just this week two youngsters have lost their lives in a tragic drowning accident. A brother and sister drowned in a hotel pool while on holiday from Surabaya. The children could not swim and were unattended at the time of the tragedy. You can be sure that during any domestic holiday period in Bali that there will be at least one drowning incident on the Island. Water safety and awareness don’t seem to be present at all, especially in tourists that come here from areas that do not have a coastline and swimming pools are a rarity. Time and time again I hear comments like “how could this happen?” THIS is how it happens - When children fall into pools they slip in quietly, with hardly a splash. They become silent shadows in the depths below the distorted light of the rippling water on the surface of the pool. In three minutes (less than the time it takes you to read this article) it’s all over. IT’S SO EASY. So before you accuse and condemn parents, caregivers, guardian’s etc give some consideration to just how easily this can happen. So how do we stop this? How do we avoid this tragedy that is the number one killer of children in so many countries.

With these simple rules tragedy need never happen • GET A FENCE - Around the pool, pond, or well. If you can afford a pool (or to rent a property that has one) you can afford a fence. If the pool is hardly used, empty it and cover it with a canvas. • Watch young children EVERY second, and if you need time out, pass the duty on to someone that you know will be diligent. Don’t expect other children to do this, they do not have the ability or attention span. • If there is a group of you around the pool, elect one person to be pool guard. They should give their undivided attention to the water. Do this in 30 minute shifts so

• • • •

everyone gets a turn to relax. Shut the pool gate and lock it. Don’t push people into the pool. Don’t leave toys in the pool, they attract young children. Empty all buckets, and paddle pools after playing.

At community or hotel swimming pools remember to: • • • • •

Obey signs giving advice to swimmers. Listen to the pool lifeguards. Stay away from the deep end, unless you can swim well. Check for swimmers before jumping in. Do not run around the pool edge.

Don’t forget to teach you children how to swim, educate children and staff on pool safety, and have yourself and your staff trained in basic first aid.

secondary drowning occurs, but the small amount of liquid is enough to hinder the lungs ability to provide oxygen to the bloodstream. If your child has had a near drowning, or perhaps swallowed too much water, keep a close eye out for the symptoms of secondary drowning and take them to the hospital immediately. Symptoms can even take between one and 72 hours to appear. Here’s what to look for: • lethargy or extreme fatigue • difficulty breathing • irritability or mood swings • chest pain • shortness of breath • persistent cough • fever

IF DROWNING OCCURS • Get your child out of the water immediately, then check to see if she is breathing on her own. If she is not, begin CPR immediately. • If someone else is present, send him or her to call for emergency medical help, but don’t spend precious moments looking for someone, and don’t waste time trying to drain water from your child’s lungs. • Concentrate instead on giving her rescue breathing and CPR until she is breathing on her own. Vomiting of swallowed water is very likely during CPR. • Only when the child’s breathing has resumed should you stop and seek emergency help.

WHAT IS SECONDARY DROWNING Though rare, secondary drowning can be fatal if warning symptoms are ignored. Anytime someone (children and adults alike) inhales even a small gush of water (pool, lake or ocean) it can irritate the lungs and cause swelling. Usually very little water is present in the lungs when

Going to the hospital promptly is IMPERITIVE. Doctors will closely monitor your child and, when caught early, should be able to treat any issues by administering oxygen and removing fluids. Ignoring the symptoms or waiting too long to seek treatment is, tragically, when secondary drowning can turn fatal. If a near drowning has occurred and your child is showing any of these symptoms, don’t delay in getting them checked out.

She now runs her own Private Practice & Mothers & Babies center at her Community Health Care office in Sanur.

This is followed by radio frequency working on a healthier body. to tighten and ¿rm the skin after fat has been dissolved. After this is a manual cellulite massage, which is optional but First on the list is detoxifying the body. Time to coax those recommended for superior results.

Afterwards I spent half an hour in the infrared sauna to Àush out the toxins from the skin.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

WHERE SHOULD THE SMART MONEY GO THIS YEAR? 2015 was another forgettable year. As global economies continued to struggle with debt and sluggish demand the result was another mainly negative year in almost all world markets and asset classes. The brightest spot economically was the US where there were strong signs of recovery from the ravages of the 2008 global ¿nancial crisis but this was not reÀected in the US stock markets which ended up marginally negative. The UK FTSE 100 index showed a 5% loss for the year. When you take into account the charges inherent in ¿nancial products it clearly was not a good year even in the stronger economies. European stock markets fared better but if like most expatriates you are a USD investor all the gains would have been cancelled out by currency losses against the USD. Worst performers were again the emerging markets, once the darling of investors due to their impressive growth. But the slump in demand for commodities hit many countries hard, particularly South Africa and most Latin American countries, with losses approaching 30%. The Indonesian stock market fell by 12% over the year. Compounded by a similar fall in the Rupiah it was little wonder foreign investors left the local market in droves. The worst asset class by far was commodities. The year saw gold fall by 10%, commodities overall by 25% according to the Bloomberg commodities index and crude oil a staggering 35%. The ‘safe haven’ bond market was probably the best place to be with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch index returning just under 1% over the year. Property was a mixed bag. There were no major moves in any markets but how you fared depended on where you owned the property and whether you were a buyer or a seller. Where is the good news? If there is any good news here at all it is that historically the longer and deeper a bear market the stronger and more spectacular the eventual recovery. Good news for those who hang in (like Warren Buffet); not good news for those who throw in the towel. Although the outlook is still not good for gold and commodities some bold analysts are predicting a strong recovery. Oil is seen as likely to fall further but keep in mind that oil companies can still make pro¿ts and pay dividends irrespective of the price of oil. The share price is not the only factor to consider. So what are the prospects for this year? The fundamentals are still much the same as they were at the beginning of last year. The world is awash with debt, China is still in a slowdown which has impacted commodity producers, particularly emerging markets, and the US Dollar is strengthening. There is one small but signi¿cant change; US interest rates have started to rise. Only by 0.25% so far but the signs are that they will continue to rise in small steps through 2016. At some point other countries are likely to increase rates to prevent an outÀow of funds into US Dollars. This will have a wide impact on interest rates. On the plus side we could see rates for depositors rising and on the minus side interest rates on home loans and all other kinds of loans will likely increase. This could be negative for economies as people adjust to higher outgoings and have less to spend. Nevertheless it signals a return to a more ‘normal’ state of affairs and an end to ‘cheap’ money that has encouraged excessive borrowing. This could lead to healthier economies and in turn stronger companies and stock markets. But expect some volatility on the way to ‘normality’. What is the likely impact on investments? Let’s look at the various asset classes: - Cash. We should see a gradual rise in interest rates in most currencies. The rates will still remain relatively low for depositors in major currencies, but those borrowing money for major items such as houses or cars may start feeling the pressure. Avoid the shocking rates on credit card debt at all cost. - Bonds. Bonds pay a ¿xed rate of interest so when interest rates rise the value of existing bonds should fall as newer bond issues will be more attractive. It is not the only factor that affects prices however as bonds, particularly USD Treasury Bonds are seen as a ‘safe haven’ in times of crisis. Bonds are essential holdings for pension schemes

as they are liquid and hold their face value on redemption, helping pension fund managers to honour their obligations, even if there has been no growth. - Stocks. Still one of the best bets for long term growth. 2015 was the worst year for stock markets since the global ¿nancial crisis in 2008. This should increase the chances of a recovery this year. But don’t count on it; the recovery could still be a year or more away. If you need the money in the short term it does not belong in the stock markets. But also, don’t sit on the sidelines watching the markets. Get on the train early or you may ¿nd it has left the station while you were asleep. - Commodities. This asset class can be accessed via stocks or mutual funds as well as through buying the physical product such as gold bars or coins. Theoretically if you are a multi-billionaire you could also buy an ocean tanker full of oil, park it somewhere and then sell it when the oil price rises again. Easier perhaps to buy shares directly in oil companies but be aware of the unique risk of oil shares as with airline shares; one major oil well blowout or disastrous crash can decimate the share price. Examples: BP and PanAm. Commodities are the least favoured asset class at the moment. But after falling so far over several years they will rise again one day; when demand returns the supply will just not be there and prices will inevitably rise. - Property. Like stocks, property is a must-have asset for the long term. But also like stocks it is not wise to buy with short term speculation in view. There are two distinct types of property; one is your family home, the other is investment property. Where the family home is concerned, if paradise for you is an isolated villa perched on a cliff overlooking the Sayan valley or the ocean at Uluwatu go for it. It matters little that it will be dif¿cult to sell because you don’t plan to sell it! On the other hand, when looking at an investment property it must be both resaleable and rentable. Consider also the pitfalls of buying property, particularly in poorly regulated jurisdictions. For pure investment, buy-to-let properties in the UK are worth considering, can be bought by anybody and are sometimes backed by rental guarantees that pay off the loans.

So ¿nally, where should the smart money go this year? In 2015 there was no real ‘winner’. You would have lost money almost wherever you put it. That is not the historical pattern; there are usually one or two asset classes that have outshone the others in any given year. This year it could be gold or emerging markets. But it is futile trying to guess; so many variables can foil the predictions of the experts. If you want to look beyond 2016 and be ‘long-term smart’ be a contrarian and invest a small part of your disposable cash in the assets that are currently the lowest in favour, namely gold and other commodities, energy and emerging markets. Don’t expect quick results; there may be further falls but they will have their day again, and with a vengeance. Most people will miss the boat when that happens. But for this year’s smart money the best bet is to invest progressively throughout the year across the investment spectrum. Keep ample cash reserves to cover short term needs and contingencies. Keep some cash on standby to jump in should a particular asset fall heavily. The clever way to build up assets is via a long-term savings or retirement plan. That also takes away the burden of trying to time the markets; you would be building up shares or units through all market cycles. But it has to be a commitment, so think carefully before setting out on the investment journey.

Local News Indonesian Forces Regroup after Failing to Capture Top Militant Indonesian security forces are regrouping to launch a more aggressive campaign to hunt for the country’s most-wanted man, police said on Monday, after months of fruitless searching in the jungles of Sulawesi Island. President Joko Widodo has made the arrest of Santoso, Indonesia’s most high-profile backer of Islamic State, one of his national security priorities and had given security forces until Jan. 9 to arrest him. But Santoso, who has been on the run for more than three years, has proven to be more difficult to catch than expected. Security forces plan to bring in 500 more policemen and soldiers to reinforce the 1,600 personnel looking for Santoso, who analysts say could be an inspiration for Indonesian militants returning from fighting with Islamic State in the Middle East. “There is a new operation called Tinombala that will focus on Poso and the surrounding areas,” said Hari Suprapto, spokesman for the Central Sulawesi police, referring to the district where Santoso is believed to be based. Details of how the military and police would join forces still

had to be worked out, he said. Officials at the presidential palace were not available for comment. Determined to capture Santoso, President Joko Widodo in March approved the first major military counter-terrorism operation since the bombing of two Jakarta hotels in 2009. A blitz by troops, warships and fighter jets weakened Santoso’s forces, but he got away and officials believe he still commands up to 40 men. While security forces increase their focus on Santoso in Central Sulawesi, analysts have raised alarm over a growing network of Islamic State supporters around the capital, Jakarta. Police over the weekend arrested three people after finding bomb-making equipment at a house near Jakarta, said a police spokesman, Sulistyo Pudjo Hartono. Police said the three were suspected of having links with a group of men arrested across the island of Java last month, who were believed to be planning attacks over the New Year holiday.

Indonesia Fairs Poorly in World’s Safest Airlines Survey An annual survey of the world’s biggest airlines has seen Qantas named the world’s safest for the third year running. The Australian carrier was praised for its “extraordinary fatality-free record in the jet era”, while Virgin Atlantic was the only UK airline to make it into the top 20.

Nippon Airlines (ANA), American Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, EVA Air, Finnair, Hawaiian Airlines, Japan Airlines, KLM, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airline System (SAS), Singapore Airlines, Swiss United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Australia.

In a separate ranking for low-cost airlines, two British carriers featured - Flybe and Thomas Cook. The lists were compiled by AirlineRatings.com, an independent plane safety and product rating website.

Despite some high profile aviation disasters in 2015, the total of 16 major accidents with 560 fatalities was below the 10-year average of 31 accidents and 714 fatalities. It was also an improvement on 2014, when there were 21 serious accidents with 986 fatalities.

The website provided safety ratings for 407 airlines, awarding them up to seven stars for safety. Of those surveyed, 148 were given the top seven-star safety ranking but almost 50 had just three stars or less.

Malaysia Airlines, struck by two incidents that left all passengers on board dead or missing in 2014, was given five stars out of a possible seven in the ratings, the same as Ryanair and Thomson Airways.

The website’s star ratings take multiple factors into account, including whether an airline has been certified by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), if it is on the EU’s airline blacklist, its crash record and whether the fleet has been grounded over safety concerns. A star is removed if the airline operates only Russian-made aircraft. In deciding which make the top 20, judges at AirlineRatings. com also compared each airline’s history of incidents and operational excellence. Along with Qantas, other airlines to make the top 20 included Air New Zealand, American Airlines, Etihad, Emirates, Finnair, KLM, Lufthansa, Swiss, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic. “Our top 20 safest airlines are always at the forefront of safety innovation, operational excellence and the launching of new more advanced aircraft,” said Geoffrey Thomas, AirlineRatings.com editor. “These airlines are always at the forefront for excellence in the safety space,” he added. “However there is no question amongst the editors that Qantas remains a standout in safety enhancements and best practice.” The world’s 20 safest airlines (in alphabetical order, bar Qantas) Qantas, Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, All

Other airlines do, however, have records that prompted AirlineRatings.com to award them lower safety ratings. Iraqi Airways was last month banned from operating in EU airspace, due to “unaddressed safety concerns” according to EU officials. AirlineRatings.com awarded the carrier a two-star safety rating. Thailand’s aviation industry was placed under “special measures” last year after issues were flagged up by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Carriers including Thai Airways, which AirlineRatings.com awarded four out of seven stars for safety, were spared being placed on the EU blacklist, but officials said they would “closely monitor future developments” and would consider bans if air passenger safety was at risk. Ten airlines, all from Indonesia, Nepal and Suriname, were deemed worthy of only one star for safety. They included Batik Air, one of whose planes reportedly skid off the runway at Indonesia’s Yogyakarta’s Adisucipto airport last November, and Paramaribo-based Bluewing Airlines. The 10 airlines awarded just 1 star for safety (in alphabetical order). Batik Air, Bluewing Airlines, Citilink Kal-Star aviation, Lion Air, Sriwijaya Air, TransNusa, Trigana Air Service, Wings Air & Xpress Air. (January 6th 2016)

Visa on Arrival in Bali Reaches Rp 925 Billion Visa on arrival (VoA) for 1,804,443 foreign travelers visiting Bali reached a total of US$66.3 million or around Rp. 925 billion during January-September 2015 period. According to records from Bank Indonesia, VoA admission from foreign tourists at the beginning of the year averaged $10 million per month, but had lately started decreasing to only $6.6 million (in June), and $4.7 million (in September 2015) due to the implementation of the new Visa-Free regulations. (January 7th 2016) Australian Man in Fatal Bike Accident on NYE Scot Freeburgh (42), died in the early hours of Friday, January 1 in a tragic motorbike accident on the Candidasa road in East Bali. Freeburgh, was apparently speeding and not wearing a helmet, when his bike plunged into the ocean. According to friends, he had also been drinking before he left Candidasa for the long drive back to his South Bali residence. He suffered massive head trauma as a result of the accident and died shortly afterwards at the nearby PentaMedika clinic. (January 3rd 2016) Bali Selected as Worlds Best Island Tourism Minister Arief Yahya said he was proud of Bali for being selected as one of the worlds best islands by the US Travel + Leisure Magazine at the end of 2015. Based on the New York-based Travel + Leisure Magazine, the ratings of the worlds best islands are Galapagos Islands of Ecuador with a score of 90.82, Bali of Indonesia (Score 88.98), Maldives (score: 88.53), Tasmania of Australia (score: 88.32), Santorini of Greece (score: 87.93), Moorea of French Polynesia (score: 87.90), Maui of Hawaii (score: 87.89), Kauai of Hawaii (score: 87,88), Great Barrier Reef of Australia (score: 87.31), and Malta (score: 86.90). The Travel + Leisure is a monthly magazine based in New York with 4.8 million readers. It is the biggest competitor of Conde Nast Traveler and National Geographic Traveler. The Bali Tourism Office has set the target for tourist arrivals at the world-renowned tourist island at 4.2 million for 2016. The tourism office has also set the target of domestic tourists visiting the resort island for 2016 at 7.8 million, he said. The Chairman of PHRI of Bali Chapter, Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, urged that to cope with the increasing the number of tourist arrivals, the quality of tourist destinations in Bali needed to be improved. (January 5th 2016) Australian Nurse Dies Snorkeling on Nusa Lembongan Maureen Eddison, 55, of St Kilda in Melbourne, a nurse who devoted much of her career to improving the lives of children born with facial deformities has died while snorkeling with five family members at Nusa Lembongan in Bali on New Year’s Day. Eddison said she felt tired and ill and was taken by boat to the shore and then driven to a community health centre but was pronounced dead on arrival. Klungkung Waters Police chief, Putu Ardana, said Mrs. Eddison was breathing heavily after about 45 minutes of snorkeling. A director and team leader with Operation Restore Hope, Mrs. Eddison spent nearly 20-years coordinating volunteer teams of medical and nursing staff to provide facial surgery for needy children in the Philippines. In 2014, she was awarded a Medal in the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to the international community, and yesterday workmates and friends paid tribute on the Operation Restore Hope Facebook page. Plastic surgeon, Dr Daryl Hodgkinson said Mrs. Eddison would be sorely missed by the Operation Restore Hope family. (January 3rd 2016)

An Australian man is accused of abusing four girls aged around 10-years-old over a four-year period in Bali. Robert Andrew Fiddel Ellis, 70, has been taken into custody and the Australian consulate advised, Bali Provincial Police Spokesman Hery Wiyanto said. The accused, who has lived in Indonesia for more than ten years, was arrested at his rental house in the area of Selemadeg, northwest of Denpasar. It’s alleged the victims - who are reportedly street children - were abused once but the crimes date over the past four years. Police accuse Ellis of taking the children on his motorbike to his house where the alleged abuse took place. “The victims then were given things like clothes, sandals and money of Rp 200,000 ($20),” Bali Provincial Police Spokesman Hery Wiyanto said. The children have told police they were taken to a house in Denpasar and molested in a bath. Police say they have statements from the girls and physical evidence sufficient to charge the man, whom they referred to by his initials. (January 12th 2016)

(January 8th 2016) Firebrand Cleric Bashir Files Second Case Review on Terrorism Verdict Terrorism convict Abu Bakar Bashir will face the Cilacap District Court, Central Java, to launch a second attempt at overturning his 15-year prison sentence. The move comes after the South Jakarta District Court quashed an earlier case review petition. Bashir - known as the spiritual leader of the militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, the Southeast Asian affiliate of al Qaeda, responsible for some of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Indonesia, including the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings - is now serving his time at the Nusakambangan Prison, close to the coastal town of Cilacap. The cleric was in June 2011 convicted by the South Jakarta District Court on charges of raising funds for a jihadist training camp in Aceh. The Jakarta High Court cut his sentence to nine years on appeal, but the original 15-year sentence was reinstated by the Supreme Court. Michdan said his client believed he deserves after a review as his earlier conviction was based on evidence which included a number of testimonies made via video conference - which he says violates judicial procedure. Some 500 police officers have been deployed to guard the court as hundreds of Bashir followers gather in support. Bashir is also the founder of the Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, which is listed as a terrorist organization by security officials. (January 12th 2016)

Legian Market Fire Destroys More Than 200 Kiosks As many as 202 kiosks at the Legian Traditional Market in Kuta, Bali, were engulfed in flames on Wednesday (6/1), causing billions of rupiah in damages, according to a local official. It took three hours and 10 fire trucks to quell the flames, which erupted on Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. local time. No fatalities were reported as most of the vendors had already closed their kiosks and gone home. Only 18 kiosks located in Block D of the market survived the incident. Police are still investigating the cause of the fire but a preliminary inspection suggests it originated in Block H due to a gas leak, said Kuta Police chief Comr. I Wayan Sumara. According to local media, vendors have been temporarily relocated to the market’s parking lot at the nearby Tri Sakti Field and another market in the Legian area. (January 7th 2016)

Can you give examples?

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

Janice Girardi: Bali Animal Welfare Association Janice first arrived in Bali in 1973. She made the island her home in the 1980s when she started designing and producing sterling silver jewelry using semiprecious stones. For decades Janice has rescued animals in distress and has been a driving force behind animal welfare in Bali and beyond. Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) was officially founded by Janice in 2007 with the mission of improving the lives of Bali’s animals through rescue, rehabilitation, education and advocacy. It’s been almost 8 years since our last Siapa interview. What changes have taken place at BAWA since then? Since the ¿rst case of rabies was reported in late 2008, BAWA’s work has changed greatly. Bali’s dogs have been plagued by mass and indiscriminate killings in futile attempts to control and eliminate the disease. In response, BAWA set up the island’s ¿rst pilot program to prove mass vaccination of dogs was not only possible, but also the only viable way of ever eliminating the disease. And it worked! We were able to vaccinate island-wide and managed to decrease canine rabies by 86%. BAWA turned the program back over to the provincial government in 2011 but sadly they went back to culling dogs. Herd immunity was lost and once again human and dog rabies cases are on the increase.

When my ¿rst Bali Dog responded to commands like “sit,” “stay” and “down,” the family I lived with was amazed that my dog spoke English! Now during my daily village stops children and elders ask how to take better care of their pets or how to treat their dog’s skin and parasite problems. Some communities where BAWA works are now so proud of their healthy animals. They even rescue animals that have been abandoned nearby. Some of them have formed clubs that honor and respect the Bali Dog. Today about 70% of the calls that come in to our 24/7 hotline come from Indonesians. Eight years ago most calls were from Westerners. What are the most common dangers animals in Bali face? Sick and unwanted animals, especially litters of female puppies and kittens, that are tossed away. There is a lot of cruelty to animals including inhumane caging and chaining. There is the illegal trade in wildlife and uncontrolled breeding in hideous conditions. There is the terrible trade in dog meat in which dogs are stolen, tortured and slaughtered. And there is the government’s counterproductive policy to mass cull dogs with strychnine in response to rabies. This has not worked since the initial 2008 rabies outbreak in Bali and it is not working now. Vaccinated dogs are being killed which destroys the herd immunity that protects communities and animals from rabies. The very existence of the pure Bali Dog - highly signi¿cant to science and culture - is now threatened.

Has tourism impacted the welfare of animals in Bali? Our education and outreach work also extends to tourists. Every year nearly 3.8 million tourists visit Bali. Many unknowingly visit attractions and participate in activities that fuel immense animal suffering: captive dolphin facilities where the animals have been illegally sourced from the wild and are forced to perform demeaning tricks; captive elephants and other wildlife often housed under horrendous conditions to entertain tourists; wild civets (luwak) are captured and put into cages or con¿ned areas to produce the new fad coffee, “Kopi Luwak.” Do you ever rescue abused or neglected animals? Constantly. Personally I am a magnet for animals in distress. Barely a day passes when I do not rescue a sick, abandoned or abused animal. BAWA’s free animal ambulance, the only one of the island, responds to emergency calls around the clock seven days a week. Often we are the only hope for an animal in trouble. We don’t just rescue and treat dogs. BAWA is committed to helping all animals in need.

Have peoples’ attitudes also changed?

What was the most ambitious rescue operation that BAWA ever undertook?

People sadly have become more frightened of dogs instead of understanding that a vaccinated dog is a safe dog. So our work has become much more dif¿cult. Fear of rabies has changed the dynamics of the local communities’ historical relationship with Bali’s indigenous dogs. On an island that had never before been faced with the deadly disease, panic followed as the number of human and dog fatalities took their toll. The image of Bali’s dogs as loyal protectors was replaced with one of ferocity and danger.

Not so long ago we were invited into a village to help save their dogs from a scheduled government mass cull. Our team worked around the clock for three days to ensure all dogs were properly vaccinated, collared and con¿ned. Thus the dogs, all healthy and vaccinated against rabies, were saved from senseless killing. I say this was ambitious as it is not all that usual for a community to oppose government activity. These people were determined. With our help their dogs were saved.

What has happened to the famous Bali Dog?

How can people help?

Misguided beliefs about the disease and how to control it’s spread, coupled with a belief that ‘breed’ dogs cannot catch or spread the disease, have resulted in mass elimination programs to rid the island of the native Bali dog. Bali’s pure heritage dog population is only 20% of what it was 10 years ago. Imported breed dogs are increasing in numbers. Often we go to villages and see more than 50% imported breed dogs often on tight short chains or living in cages too small for them to even stretch.

There are so many ways to help, including making muchneeded ¿nancial donations. All details are at www.bawabali. com. We desperately need people to adopt our healthy, vaccinated rescued animals. People with a wide range of skills are also invited to apply to volunteer. And pro¿ts from sales at our BAWA shops including silver gemstone paw print collections are donated towards BAWA’s programs.

What if a concerned person or pet owner is in need of one of your many services?

Does BAWA also reach out to young people? Education is a vital part of our daily work. Our teams are in schools and communities nearly every day, teaching animal welfare. Children take the lessons home to their families and villages. Gradually, mindsets begin to change for the better. Communities with which we have worked longer term are loving and protective of their animals. Are Balinese attitudes towards animals different from attitudes in the West? Many Balinese people love animals but often are too poor to care for them properly or have not been educated in responsible pet ownership. Bali Dogs traditionally belong to a place, rather than a person. They are more independent and resilient than typical Western breeds. So the challenge is to have people recognize that animals have needs and feelings too. Before, Balinese coexisted with their dogs but never had pets in the Western sense. That is slowly changing.

I urge people to take action! If you see something, please do something. Don’t allow animal cruelty to go on unreported. Stop, take a photo of the abused animal or license plate and make a phone call to report the cruelty, an accident or other emergency to BAWA at 081-138-9004, email info@balianimalwelfare.com. We also give advice but pet owners should really seek private vet services. Our resources are limited and stretched and must be allocated to those most in need.

BA Feature Article

20 January - 03 February, 2016

BA Feature Article

A Straw Story By Ines Wynn By current estimate Bali has some 82,000 hectares of cultivated rice paddies producing on average 3 crops a year. After the rice is cut and harvested, the remaining stalks are piled up in the ¿elds and burned, releasing noxious carbons into the atmosphere and polluting the air. This has been the traditional practice for centuries and to date no one has thought up an alternative way of utilizing the straw which is considered a waste product.

incidentally observed the ubiquitous Balinese rice culture and farming methods. Seeing the incredible waste of leftover straw after the harvest, she quickly sensed an opportunity with multiple and far reaching bene¿ts. “Straw is a cheap building component, lavishly available and easy to work with,” she says, “besides being green and environment-friendly.” She thoroughly researched building with straw and felt strongly it would work in Bali.

Unlike hay, straw cannot be used for animal feed because there are no residual nutrients left and so most all of it is burned at the end of the harvest. Yet rice straw can be put to better use. It actually is the best and strongest of all straw materials for creating bales and is one of the most sustainable building materials available in all of South East Asia. Rice straw has a high tensile strength and a high silica content, which adds density and resistance to decomposition. Straw bales used for building are most resistant to bugs and vermin because the straw has no nutrients left to feed on. The bales are also resistant to ¿re, rot and decay because the compacting of the straw creates a low oxygen environment.

After testing sample bales at home for 2.5 years she re¿ned her building technique and found to her delight that sample test bales met the prescribed moisture content of less than 20% - a standard of the International straw bale building code - even with straw collected from a ¿eld where it had rained the night before. Because no baling machines are available in Bali, she constructed a special straw bale manual press which she affectionately called the Bali Baler that can compress straw into large bales measuring 1meterx50cmx50cm and smaller half-size bales.

Straw has been used as a building material for centuries to make thatch roo¿ng all over the world. Mixed with earth it has been applied to construct wattle and daub walls. Straw dwellings have been built on the African plains since Paleolithic times. Some 400 years ago straw bales were used to construct houses in Germany. After the invention of mechanical baling machines in the 1860s, early settlers in Nebraska, USA used straw bales for building their homesteads. Given reasonable care during construction, straw bale buildings are very durable and may have a lifetime of 100 years or more. In the USA there are about a dozen houses around 100 years old that are still inhabited and without structural problems. The construction process is quite simple. Compacted straw bales are laid like giant bricks in an interlock pattern which makes for stronger and more stable walls. The vertical and horizontal stability of straw bale walls is secured by tying bales to structural frames with wire or strings. Foundations are usually concrete footings or stone and concrete, built a bit higher than average to keep the bales off the ground and out of the splash zone. The structural capacity of straw bales is surprisingly good with a load bearing capacity that allows the building of walls of up to three meters high. Most straw bale building structures use a frame of timber, bamboo or steel. Straw bales can accommodate any door or window shape. Electric wiring and plumbing can also be easily incorporated. Straw bales have excellent insulation properties; they are among the most cost effective thermal insulation materials available with an insulation value similar to ¿berglass. They also provide remarkable sound insulation which contributes to the livability and comfort of the construction and provides a marked difference from conventional buildings. In addition the ¿re resistance of compacted straw is very good because the straw bales form dense walls which provide a nearly airless environment. Appearance wise, finished straw bale walls are usually plastered with earth so that the straw is not visible. The ¿nal appearance of rendered straw bales can be very smooth and almost indistinguishable from rendered masonry. It lends itself well to textural creativity. Building with straw in Bali. Jeni Kardinal is an American expat and a licensed architect residing in Bali since 2008 whose special interest is sustainable architecture and design and building with renewable and sustainable materials. On a trip to New Zealand Jeni happened to stay in a place which was constructed with straw bales and discovered ¿rsthand the possibilities of this ecological way of building. When she came to work in Bali on a commissioned project she

“We re-invented the conventional manual press which compresses the bales vertically using short strands of straw.” says Jeni. “The Bali Baler compresses horizontally so we can use longer strands of straw making the bales stronger; it just seemed to make more sense.” First straw building project - In order to realize her ¿rst building Jeni scouted around for ¿nancial backers and found funding support through Rotary International who sponsored a US $16,800 grant to build the ¿rst straw building in the small village of Nawa Kerti in Karangasam - the ¿rst registered straw bale building in Indonesia. Work started in September 2014 and was completed in May 2015. This building, originally designed to be a simple dwelling, was repurposed during the construction process into a cold press coconut oil processing factory. It occupies 21 square meters with one storey and used 80 straw bales. The foundations were dug 50 cm deep and shaped with stones and rocks that were wrapped in used ¿shing nets. The nets are set below the foundations and wrap up into the 2nd coat of plaster. This ties the walls to the foundation making it more resistant to earthquakes. Pressure treated bamboo was used for pinning and the roof trusses. Jeni explains that rice straw is so strong that it is easier to use exterior pinning. “We pinned our bales with bamboo strips - 2 pins for every bale; this helps the building to resist a shaking and a gale.” Because lime plasters are dif¿cult to get in Bali Jeni used a natural earth plaster made with sand, earth, clay and straw and rice husk so the walls can breathe. The roof was decked with alangalang. Doors and windows with traditional carvings assured a local touch. The wantilan-style building enjoys natural ventilation and thanks to the properties of the straw insulation feels cool and refreshing inside. The building team consisted of 7 people, all from the village and all trained by Jeni. In order to meet the requirements of the grant’s time restraints, the building had to be done during the rainy season which constituted a tough test for the principle of straw bale building and an excellent training ground for the building crew. “We can now say that if we can build during the rainy season on a tropical island and it works, then this really is a viable building material in a humid climate as long as the bales are dry when the walls are constructed. Needless to say, we did invest heavily in tarps.” The total building cost for the 4 x 7 meters building including the bale press, bamboo treatment for the support system, the bathroom structure, covered patios, full plumbing and electrical systems amounted to USD14,500. Though it would not be considered cheaper than using concrete blocks it has many more advantages. “It’s more labor intensive” says Jeni “because we have to make our own bales and can’t buy them from a store like a concrete block. But the blocks are way bigger so the walls go up quicker. The bene¿ts are huge in

comparison to concrete blocks. Bales with bamboo pins meet earthquake standards for US Building Codes making it a safer building material than the locally constructed brick and concrete block buildings.”

Rice straw is a sustainable and renewable material; it is local and readily available. It stores carbon that would otherwise be burned and put into the atmosphere, making it environmentally friendly. It utilizes a waste material and the best part is that it meets earthquake standards within the building codes so straw buildings are stronger in earthquakes than cement blocks. They are super insulated so stay cool naturally inside even when the outside ambient temperature is hot. No air conditioning necessary. Looking forward - This ¿rst project bore out Jeni’s intuition that this is a great solution for many reasons: cheap, quick, strong, fits in with sustainable architecture and design and would bene¿t a lot of people. This project became the impetus for formulating her life’s new path and her goal now is to capitalize on the success of the first building to demonstrate that utilizing this waste product for building will help local communities. “All the answers are right in front of us” says Jeni, “Rice can be seen all across Bali. The trick is to open our eyes and utilize what grows naturally, reconnecting us with the ways of the past. The future relies on our working with nature to create a better world, not to destroy and burn it.” And so she set out to show the Balinese farmers how to build with it, not burn it. In the process of forming and training a building team she demonstrated that new jobs could be created that would produce an ongoing income stream for the builders and for the farmers who sell their straw. In fact, farmers could easily build their own balers and sell the compacted bales, not just the raw straw. Jeni has several ideas for future straw bale projects in other villages to spur economic development. Her vision includes not just private dwellings but also village community buildings, schools, libraries, small guesthouses and home stays in a linked network of hut-to-hut or village-to-village hiking trails. Considering the vast expanse of paddy ¿elds elsewhere in Indonesia, there is also a great future for straw bale buildings outside of Bali. In the meantime the straw bale building team has already constructed a second building in the village of Nawa Kerti designed to house a water ¿ltration system. This building went up 4 times faster than the ¿rst one thanks to seamless teamwork and the experience gained from erecting the ¿rst building. Jeni feels that the project has created a village grass roots movement that is gaining momentum by the day. The farmers can sell their straw; the ¿shermen can sell their used nets; the building teams can sell their experience and services; and people of modest means can obtain cheaper housing. The key, according to Jeni, is for the local people to take ownership of the idea and spread it like a benign virus. From village to village, the chain can get larger and create a micro-economy. Straw bale buildings are also great structures for locations that require quiet space like karaoke bars, home theatres, spas, ashrams and meditation places, schools, libraries, etc. The bales are great acoustically and absorb sound so are great to block out noise making it ideal for recording studios, great for schools, or spas. The uses are endless.

BA FEATURE Continued from page 53

Straw Bale Tales – Jeni tirelessly promotes the straw bale building way and she found a creative way to get her point across when making presentations to communities and potential investors. She adapted the children’s story of the 3 little pigs who each built a dwelling; one from straw, the other from sticks and the third one from bricks. As we know, the big bad wolf in the story played havoc with the straw and sticks structures but was not able to tackle the bricks. In Jeni’s adaptation, the bricks fell down due to an earthquake, the sticks were attacked by termites; but the straw building withstood those calamities. While the building was in progress, Jeni encountered a situation just after the foundations were in place: the village dogs started clawing into them. Their noses guided them to the lingering smell of ¿sh on the nets that wrapped the foundation rubble and they obviously wanted to check that out. The solution was obvious: the nets needed a good washing before use. “Perhaps it would be better to use newer nets in the future.” says Jeni “But I like the idea of using discarded nets as a waste material.” The DIY Way. Straw buildings, according to Jeni, are easy to build and a fun project for do-it-yourselfers. She cautions that there are a few important guidelines that should be taken into account when building in a humid climate to maximize your chances for success. She is currently working on a Straw Bale Manual for building in a tropical climate based on her recent experience. The manual covers recommendations for building foundations, pressure treating bamboo, making bales with a manual press, waterproo¿ng the top of the bale walls, plaster formulas and general design ideas speci¿c to straw bale building. The manual will be available soon via the Bali Straw Bale Project Facebook page. In addition, Jeni is considering leading a few workshops to teach what she has learned and continues to expand her knowledge and develop new ideas. Lots of helpful material is available on the net in case you get the urge to try your hand at building something. Check out Jeni’s Facebook Page Bali Straw Bale Project. It could set you on the way to another house extension.
