The Bare Necessities of Kuta Night-Life.
Two Kuta Night Spots Told to
Keep their Exotic Dancers Inside or

Responding to numerous
complaints from the local community
and suggestions that agitated
neighbor were getting ready to take
matters into their own hands, a team
of district and village officials -
backed up with a cadre of local
citizenry, swooped down on a Kuta
night spot rounding up scantily-clad
exotic dancers and the bars'
management for a late-night
"meeting" at the Lurah or Sub-district
chief's office.
The "raid", which took place
at 11 p.m. on Friday, May 15, 2009,
focused on Club Vi Ai Pi on Jalan
Raya Legian in Kuta, just meters
away from the "Ground Zero"
monument commemorating the 202

'Super Show' Celebrating 50
Years of Indonesian-Japanese
Diplomacy at GWK May 23, 2009
Directed by Kansai Yamamoto
The name of Japan's
master-showman of entertainment,
Kansai Yamamoto, is synonymous
with breathtaking cultural
spectaculars driven by thousands of
performers and state of the art
sound and lighting systems. His
performances have traveled the
globe winning the enthusiastic
applause of large audiences in
Russia, Vietnam and India. Equally
adept as a leading fashion designer
as he is at directing stage
spectacles, Kansai Yamamoto's
performances have become iconic,
known simply as "Kansai Super
Shows".
Kansai Super Show Comes
to Bali
The "Kansai Super Show"
comes to Bali on Saturday, May 23,
2009, via a mega "Celebration of
Life" performance to mark a half-
century of diplomatic relations
between Japan and Indonesia.
The show to be held at the

the two dancers and the management
of the two establishments were served
with stern warnings and reminders from
local village officials for presenting
programs that disturb public order and
have contributed to more than a few
traffic jams along the busy
thoroughfare.
Quoted in DenPost, a Kuta
official, IGN Sudira, said that any future
violations would see his office
accompanied by a large posse of local
residents descend on the clubs to close
Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK)
Complex, in keeping with an incendiary
extravaganza of music and dance, will
include fire decorations, a giant bonfire
and what promoters are claiming will
be the largest decorative fire display in
the world. More than 300 Japanese fire
lanterns will also be deployed as will
more than 1,000 musicians and
dancers.
Too Much is Never Enough
For those not familiar with a
"Super Show" concept, expect to have
your senses and emotions
overwhelmed by displays of fashion,
acrobatic demonstrations, music and
dance, and visual magic produced by
computerized lighting and sound
effects. A trademark of a "Kansai Super
Show" is the active participation of the
audience in the evening's event.

them down. Explained Sudira: "We are
not against this sort of dancing, but the
management (of the clubs) must look at
it from the aspect of maintaining the
"esthetic" of the main roads. If these
dances take place inside the clubs,
there is no problem. But if these dances
disturb the public space - then it
becomes a problem."
The Chairman of the local
community council (LPM), I Nyoman
Graha Wicaksana, told the press that
the people of Kuta were fed up with
promises from the management of the
clubs to end the street-side strip tease
performances. Claiming the
government was too weak in enforcing
the law, Wicaksana said that
community leaders were compelled to
take matters into their own hands,
adding: "By conducting a sweeping
campaign, such as this, we hope the
management will make amends and
obey the existing laws of the traditional
village of Kuta."

Ambush catches soldier with pants down, wearing pink undies
A SOLDIER fighting the
Taliban in Afghanistan while wearing
pink undies has made front page
news in the US.
US Army Specialist Zachary
Boyd, 19, said Taliban militants
launched an ambush while he was
asleep so he had no time to put on
his full uniform or boots.
So he grabbed his gun, body
armour and helmet and headed into
battle with his legs and boxer shorts
exposed - a moment captured by an
Associated Press photographer.
Mother wants her son to be allowed to die
JOANNE Dunn wants her son
to die in her arms. Mark Leigep, 34,
has been in a vegetative state for
more than three years.
His mother wants the right to
"put him to sleep" humanely using
morphine.
"So he can die in our arms
and we can all be there when he
passes away," Ms Dunn said.
"Mark isn't coming back. He's
my baby and they should let my baby
go."
Mr Leigep, father to Kaitlyn, 7,
suffered major head injuries in a car
crash in Elizabeth in 2006.Euthanasia
is illegal in South Australia and his
situation sparked a right-to-life debate
at the time of him entering a coma.
Health Minister John Hill this
month urged families to have "serious
debate" about the services terminally
ill people want and need in the "last
days of their lives" but did not
advocate euthanasia.

Doctors removed Mr Leigep's
feeding tube twice in 2006, but it was
replaced following family
disagreements that year.
The tube was then removed
by doctors again in the same year, but
Royal Adelaide Hospital administration
ordered the tube be replaced.
After spending more than a
year at the RAH, Mr Leigep is now at
the Julia Farr Centre.Ms Dunn sought
legal advice to help end her son's life
about June, 2006, but her eldest son,
Mark's brother Brian, was Mark's
guardian and wanted him kept alive.
Brian, however, has now
changed his mind and also wants

Tourism as Villain in Bali's Environmental Degradation
Growing Lack of Water
Resources in Bali is Putting Agriculture
Bar & Restaurant and Tourism at Loggerheads,
Threatening the Traditional Farming
Culture of the Island.
The Executive Director of the
Environmental Watchdog Group
WALHI, Agung Wardana, has blamed
tourism as the main cause of Bali's
deteriorating environmental quality.
Quoted in BisnisBali, Wardana
said: "the most obvious problem is
water. Water in Bali is chiefly
ALL YOU CAN EAT AUSSIE STYLE!!!! consumed by tourism, creating a
conflict between the tourism industry
and the Balinese people."
Clarifying his concerns,
Wardana explained that each hotel
room in Bali represents the
Live Music consumption of 3,000 liters of water
each day and each golf course
demands three million liters of water a
7 NIGHTS A WEEK!!! day. This contrasts sharply with the
mere 200 liters of water a day used by
the average Balinese.
Great Value EVERY Week!!!! "Imaging how many thousands
of rooms in Bali that require water
supplies?" asked the WALHI executive.
Exacerbating the problem are not only
the many hotels already in operation in

now under construction. Wardana
points out that the growing demands
for more water by Bali's tourism
sector is reducing both the quantity
and quality of available water within
the Island's eco-system.
Wardana told of a growing
pattern of conflict between Bali's
agricultural villages living with the
subak water distribution system and
the conflicting demands of the State
Water Board (PDAM). Citing one
example, he mentioned the district of
Penebel in the Tabanan regency
where village officials and farmers
recently came to blows over water
distribution issues.
Cautioned Wardana: "I think
this problem must now be considered
by the government. If the current
situation is left to fester, that will be
the equivalent of Bali committing
suicide. If Bali is short of water, who
will still want to visit Bali? This will be
the worse effect."
As a result, Wardana insists
that the building of even more
luxurious hotel and more golf courses
does not truly support Bali tourism,
contending that foreign tourists are
not attracted to Bali to play golf but

rather to enjoy and witness the Island's
unique culture and natural beauty.
Wardana added: "The current
tourism policy must be re-evaluated. If
the same system of growing tourism is
allowed to continue, the impact will be
widespread. Thus, we have to find a new
development model."
The outspoken and widely
respected environmental activist also
called on investors to be made
responsible for the preservations of Bali's
environment. To do this, he said, an new
regulatory environment must be created
that will compel all parties to take an
active concern with conservation.
Wardana also raised the issue of
increasing valuations on agricultural
lands resulting in higher taxes that force
farmers to sell their lands. Complained
Wardana: "The result is that farmers are
pushed to sell their lands. Land that was
once productive is then converted to
tourism pursuits. Each year, between 600
- 1,000 hectares of productive agricultural
land is converted to non-agricultural
purposes in Bali.

England warm up for Ashes with 2-0 series win over West
Indies
James Anderson took nine
wickets in a Test for only the second
time in his career as England crushed
West Indies by an innings and 83 runs
to win the second Test at the Riverside.
Victory, in their last Test before
the start of July's Ashes series, meant
England took the two-match series 2-0
after a thumping 10-wicket win at Lord's
and saw them regain the Wisden

The West Indies, following on,
were bowled out for 176 in their second
innings, having made 310 first time

569 declared.
Having resumed the day at 3-
45, the tourists were 8-167 at lunch on

Anderson, who took 4-38 in
this innings, had match figures of 9-
125 - his second-best in Tests after
his 9-98 against New Zealand at
Trent Bridge last year.
Bresnan had an innings
return of 3-45 in 14 overs.
Anderson, the only other
bowler used alongside Bresnan on
the final day, added three more
wickets before lunch to his first
innings haul of 5-87, including left-
hander Suliemann Benn whom he
bowled for 0 off the final ball of the
session.
After a pair of rain breaks
saw nearly half an hour lost, West
Indies lost 3-5 in 15 balls with
Bresnan, in his second Test, taking 2-
0 in three balls.
Lendl Simmons was out for
10 when he guided Anderson straight
to substitute fielder Scott Borthwick at
point to leave the West Indies 4-141.
And they had added just one
run when seamer Bresnan, who'd
seen some chances missed off his
bowling, took his first Test wicket with

“He's worked his way back

AFL threatens to take grand final away from MCG over
revenue dispute
The AFL has threatened to
move the grand final from its traditional
home, the MCG, if a satisfactory
financial deal cannot be struck with the
Melbourne Cricket Club and the MCG
Trust over increased revenue to clubs.
MCG Trust chairman John
Wylie confirmed AFL Commission
chairman Mike Fitzpatrick had warned
the league could shift the biggest
match of the season to Sydney unless
it extended the offer made to the AFL
last Friday.
The league and the 16 clubs
last week rejected a new 10-year offer
from the MCC and the MCG Trust
because of the fear factor associated
with what they described as a short-
term fix.
A 14-year "black hole" appears
to be the major stumbling block in
negotiations between the MCC and the
AFL and its clubs as the Australian
football industry strives for a better
financial deal to play at the MCG.
Western Bulldogs president
David Smorgon, acting as chief
delegate for a sub-committee acting on
behalf of all clubs, said the murky area
in negotiations was a 14-year period
leading up to 2032, when the current
MCC-MCG Trust/AFL contract was
due to expire.
The MCC-MCG Trust is only

overhaul series leader Jorge Lorenzo.
The Spaniard won the French
Grand Prix at Le Mans at the weekend
while Stoner gathered valuable points
with a fifth place despite mechanical
problems.
Valentino Rossi was derailed
by a rare crash and a drive-through
penalty to finish out of the points at

additional $60 million in match returns
and benefits for the next decade, and
Smorgon said clubs feared they
would have to take a backward step,
and possibly again "go cap in hand"
after the offer expired in 2019 and
before the MCC-MCG Trust's contract
with the AFL ends.
AFL chief executive "Andrew
Demetriou and us have said all along
we want a long-term fix, not just for
the short term", Smorgon said. "A 10-
year deal is a short-term fix."
MCC chief executive Stephen
Gough said a 10-year goodwill deal
was better than nothing, adding that
the MCC and MCG Trust were unable
to offer the clubs a long-term financial
commitment.
"That's the big issue," he
said. "The MCC is responsible for
debt and responsible for upgrading
the facility.
"Our existing debt will be
roughly $200 million by 2019 and
because of the potential unknowns,
we can't possibly commit beyond
then."
If the MCG's Southern Stand
needed to be upgraded in the next 15
years, "we couldn't take on more
debt, as well as continue to provide
extra money for the clubs", Gough
said.
Wylie said the trust was

the opening race in Qatar, was fourth
in Japan and then back on the
podium with third in Spain.
Stoner is off to a brighter
start than he expected.
"We have started really well
and it's been much better than we
could have hoped for," he said.
Stoner said he was
hamstrung by mechanical gremlins in
France, without which he could have
taken the championship lead.
"I'm pretty disappointed
because I don't think we realised our
potential at all (on Sunday) - the wet

problem and I couldn't find any

prepared to extend the deal in line with
its contract with the AFL, which ran until
2032.
"We told the AFL we were
prepared to look beyond 10 years so
long as any new extension was of
mutual benefit and that there was no
obligation to extend it," Wylie said.
Gough said: "In 10 years' time,
we'll know the landscape a bit better and
if, when and what funding will be needed
for capital works. We are going outside
the contract as a matter of goodwill to
assist the clubs and in return we are
seeking a short extension to the
contract."
The MCC currently has a debt
of about $320 million for its
redevelopment of the northern side of
the MCG.
It is understood the AFL
considered the MCG Trust's offer for this
year only, which would have enabled it
to extend its contract by a year to 2033,
but that also hinged on a full contract
review involving all parties over the next
six months.
"I never felt comfortable and I
was losing a lot of time but it still wasn't
dry enough to come in for slick tyres.
"Then when I switched over, my
other bike had a problem with the
steering damper and after four laps I had
to take my hand off the gas coming down
the straight to fix it.
"After that I felt much better, the
bike was more comfortable and I was
able to ride to my potential."
"I now really look forward to
Mugello, one of my favourites. I've got
some good results there.”
