You can enjoy french style crepes, or really good home made ice-creams. In the evening Aaltje is focussed on wines and cheeses. The chef is plan-ning to launch daily specials starting next week. Why smoke-free? Bartele explains. "I want to watch my own health a bit as well. I've inhaled enough smoke over the years, even though I am a non-smoker. It is just pleasant to enjoy Van Morrison music

and a good wine, and then to realise, when you come home, that your clothes still smell fresh!". The smokers do not really mind, so far. They go outside to light up a cigarette. An expat customer: "I am a smoker, but after a few evenings in Aaltje, I actu-ally appreciate it that my eyes do not hurt on my way home!" Another, local customer: "No worries. We will get used to it".

The Regional Initiatives for Gover-nance, Human Rights and Social Justice (Rights) of ASEAN indicates that around 1,000 islands in the Riau Islands have yet to be named. The situation is said to have the potency of causing territorial con�icts between Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

"The islands are bordered with Johor (Malaysia), Singapore and Riau Islands," said ASEAN Rights Regional Director, Ellena Florance Manambe, yesterday, Oct 12.

According to Ellena, the 1,000 islands are fully situated in the Indonesian territories. It is the right of the Riau Islands administration to name the islands as stipulated in Law No.32/2004 on Regional Autonomy.

The Riau Islands administration is appealed to take the measure as soon as possible in anticipating the future e�ects. "There are �sh �our and high marine resources due to its archipelagic site," he said.

Ellena also reminds about Indonesian children living in the nameless islands and are mostly working in Malaysia.

NEWS

JAKARTA - Thousands of students have been given the chance to learn business skills through a recent government program to boost entrepreneurship in the country.

The state has been working with the International Labor Organization to implement the project, which stresses the need for business training in schools.

So far, a network of 250 teachers have been trained to teach a module called “How to Start and Improve Your Business” to students across the country.

Under the joint program, the ILO works with Vocational Education Development Centers (P4TK) in Cianjur and Bandung, West Java, as well as in Malang, East Java, to train teachers.

The Ministry of National Education has also replicated the ILO’s “Know About Business” curriculum and has trained 10,800 teachers in more than 4,500 schools since 2008.

The government wants to address the alarmingly low rate of entrepreneurship in Indonesia and help boost 70 percent of businesses nationwide that make up the informal economy.

Peter van Rooij, head of the ILO’s mission in Jakarta, said he was optimistic the program would succeed. “People here are actually very creative, but the issue is that they lack business skills,” he said.

ILO’s programs were in line with the state’s drive to support creative indus-tries, he said.

Suwadi, a trainer from the P4TK in Malang, said Indonesia should maximize its abundant human resources.

“Our problem is only that we do not have enough spirit or knowledge about business and the courage to start one. [We do not] take risks as entrepreneurs,”

The Ministry of Finance recom-mends the increase in tobacco tax tari� by �ve percent next year in line with the in�ation rate which is estimated to rise 5.3 percent. According to acting head of the Fiscal Policy Agency, Agus Supri-jadi, the increase is suggested to improve the targeted state revenue at Rp 2 trillion. "We've calculated that [the tobacco tax] would rise �ve percent," he said in the Ministry of Finance today, Oct 12. Director General of Custom and Excise, Thomas Sugijata, said the increase is realistic. According to the agency, the tobacco tax will not yet be subjected to 57 percent of rise. "The increase will be estimated in mean number because we're taking into account such aspect as employment," said Thomas. The cigarette industry, he said, involves around two million work-ers in its production phase while six million others are bene�ted indirectly from the industry.

"Our aim in restricting production is achieved and employment is not directly a�ected," said Thomas.

The tobacco tax will not yet be subjected to 57 percent of rise.

Tobacco Tax to Rise 5% in 2011

he said.

Suwadi has been training teachers on entrepreneurship for several years, including 378 teachers at vocational schools and high schools in West Papua and Papua provinces.

He said the entrepreneurship skills that �lter down to trainees could help them address the country’s chronic unem-ployment problem through job creation.

“If all Indonesians, regardless of their interests, age or gender, are provided with entrepreneurial skills, Indonesia will become a great nation,” he said.

The joint education program is part of the ILO’s Education and Skills Training for Youth Employment (EAST), a four-year livelihood initiative funded by the Netherlands, which focuses on South Sulawesi, West Papua, East Nusa Teng-gara, Maluku, Papua and Aceh.

Patrick Daru, chief technical adviser of the EAST project, says one of the challenges his team has faced is working with various state ministries that have di�ering standards on the quality of education programs.

“Quality assurance here is very impor-tant, and how you can make sure the practical skills are implemented,” Daru said, adding that it was vital to start teaching entrepreneurship as early as grade school.

The ILO curriculum included case studies and instructions on carrying out games and business simulations. Parents are also encouraged to get involved in developing the students’ business skills.

Budi Maryono, EAST’s national program o�cer for entrepreneurship, said the program has already helped around 9,000 youths.

“The program has given [the students] a lot of skills and self-con�dence,” Budi said.

A landmark decision striking down an Indonesian book-banning law that has been used since the days of ex-dictator Suharto to clamp down on dissent was welcomed Thursday by historians, authors and rights activists.

For more than four decades, the attor-ney general's o�ce could unilaterally prohibit publication or distribution of books deemed "o�ensive" or a "threat to public order."

But the Constitutional Court ruled Wednesday such power should rest with a judicial court.

"It's great," said historian Hilmar Farid. "It symbolizes the end of a period of darkness for all of us. It will allow future generations to learn the truth about everything, from science to history."

Suharto stepped down in 1998 after 32 years of dictatorial rule, leading to reforms in the predominantly Muslim nation of 237 million that freed the media, vastly improved human rights and gave citizens the right for the �rst time to directly pick their leaders.

Though the country is now seen as one of the most democratic in the region, some authoritarian policies remain in place, such as a continuing ban on communist and other left-wing organi-zations.

The Indonesian government claims that the four main targets of macro economy attached in the 2010-2014 National Mid-term Development Planning for the year 2010 has been reached. They are economic growth, in�ation rate, unemployment rate and poverty rate.

In the development planning, the targeted economic growth in 2010 is set at 5.6 percent, in�ation rate at six percent, unemployment rate at 7.6 percent and poverty rate at 13.5 percent.

whose books were banned last year asked the Constitutional Court to review the 1963 regulation that allowed it.

Their books - and others - touched on sensitive topics like separatist-torn Papua province, inter-religious con�icts, the role of the military and even scienti�c research.

In striking down the law, Judge Mohammad Mahfud told the court: "Any banning of books must be done through the legal process in a court."

Hundreds of books have been banned since the 1960s, including almost all 34 books and essays by late Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer, an outspoken democracy advocate who spent 14 years in jail during Suharto's reign.

In the last year alone, the government banned "Pretext for Mass Murder," a book about the role of the military in Suharto's rise to power by John Roosa, a professor at the University of British Colombia, and four other books written by Indonesians.

Artist and illustrator Alit Ambara said he was thrilled.

"It will give students the change to learn about the past from di�erent perspectives," he said, noting that history books continue to blame the Communist Party for an apparent abor-tive coup in 1965 that helped Suharto rise to power.

The economic growth in the �rst semester of this year reached 5.9 percent.

The Russian government plans to advance its partnership with Indonesia on energy sector particularly nuclear power plant.

Deputy Chairman of Russian Parliamen-tary, Yasev Valery, in a discussion with Indonesian Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives (DPR), Marzuki Alie, said, "several companies in Russia are ready to discuss the matter with Indonesia. Today, Russia has won four tenders on nuclear reactors in China and to nuclear reactors in Vietnam," on Wednesday, Oct 13.

He went on to say that Russia is prepared to socialize on nuclear energy issue to the Indonesian people. 'We're ready to be invited to make people know of nuclear energy. We'll convince them that nuclear is safe," said Yasev.

With regard to the power plant tender in

Indramayu, West Java, he said that Russian investors have been on the process. However, no clarity as to this day on the tender winner of the power plant.

DPR Chairman Marzuki Alie said the relations between the two countries will be better in the future. "We're grateful of the support provided by the Russian parliamentary," he said.

House, he said, must prioritize parlia-mentary duties. In principle, Indonesia �t out chances for foreign investors to out in investment especially on energy sector.

Therefore, said Marzuki, Russia must �nd local partners in supporting businesses to update the latest progress.

According to Marzuki, nuclear issue in Indonesia must still be socialized more optimally because most people still consider nuclear as hazardous.

Bali Police Still Unraveling Case Involving Stolen Sacred Objects

NEWS


source : en.vivanews.com Ar� Bambani Amr

Denpasar. Bali is known for sun, sand and �ve-star resorts. Apparently, you can now add to that list international syndicates dealing in stolen sacred objects.

Police on the island have already arrested six Balinese and one foreigner on charges of dealing in sacred objects thought to have been stolen from the hundreds of temples that dot Bali.

They have recovered hundreds of pieces believed to have been stolen, and have also contacted Interpol to help track down any objects that may have already been transported o� the island.

Bali detective Adj. Comr. Benny Murji-anto said on Monday that police had arrested �ve Balinese on charges of stealing the sacred objects.

They have been identi�ed as I Komang Oka Sukaya, Gusti Putu Oka, Wayan Eka Putra, Komang Gede Pariana and I Gusti Komang Suardika.

Another Balinese, I Gusti Lanang Sidemen, and Italian national Roberto Gamba have been arrested on suspicion of buying the stolen items.

Benny said Gamba had planned to sell the sacred objects overseas. “We are still investigating where he planned to sell the sacred objects.”

He said the group had operated in Badung, Gianyar and Karangasem districts, and that police had received 29 reports of thefts involving sacred objects from these districts.

Police have recovered 23 sacred items, known as pratima, and hundreds of

source : en.vivanews.com Ar� Bambani Amr

ritual objects made of silver. Gamba allegedly bought the objects for between Rp 250,000 and Rp 7 million ($30 to $780) each, depending on the age and design.

Police also seized one car, two motor-cycles and two cellular phones from the suspects. “The police also con�scated Roberto’s laptop to try to track the trade network,” Benny said.

Meanwhile, an emotional Gamba, who was presented to the press with the other suspects, denied all of the charges. He said he had no idea the objects he bought were stolen.

“I did not know they were stolen goods, and I had no knowledge at all that they were also sacral objects. I only bought them from an art shop,” he said.

BUGILS FCThe �rst game of the new league season....and it’s not the most auspicious start......Japan at Sentul on a pitch we could have been sharing with the �shing �eet. We certainly ended up looking like a bunch of stunned mullets. Seriously, the amount of water on that pitch could have supplied the bathwater for a week for a medium sized French town......(?). *ahem*........Boris the keeper (aka King) made the most of the conditions to practice his sliding interceptions in an attempt to dominate his area, though it was never clear if he got the intended target. Aside from Boris, none of the BuGils team adapted as well to the atrocious, farcical conditions as our Japanese opponents and we all agree they deserved their victory for some �ne skills and athleticism. The three chaps wearing yellow had problems with the conditions too, although it is di�cult to see the connection between dealing with the swamp underfoot and missing a blatant bloody hand ball on a goal bound shot!!!....which should have seen us one man up from late in the �rst half (albeit still two goals down). Anyway, we’re not bitter.........or twisted......and we know it’s not nice to criticize the refs..... but we also know that if we’d come anywhere close to victory that would have been cited as a crucial turning point on which the result of the match (and maybe the entire season) depended. By no means did we ever come close to sharing the spoils in this match so let’s forget it huh? So never mind those o�cials........after the game our own o�cial (Ray, Googly Goggs....league secretary and BugIls’ ‘Enforcer’) made an o�cial announcement, in his o�cial capacity,....as an o�cial ....and did well to handle a substantial amount of heckling...not least from a street smart nine year old....girl. It was beer o’clock so no-one remembers the o�cial subject of the o�cial announcement except it was something to do with not allowing someone to play in their own back yard. A little later a mysterious, nay suspicious, aroma of strawberries in the dressing room created some confusion. The mystery was �nally, satisfactorily (?) explained by the fact that two players had brought along Body Shop Strawberry Body Polish with which to carry out their ablutions*. Having sorted that one out it was time to head o� to Eastern Promise with brief stops in Star Deli and Mariyahs for eats......Unusually and unfortunately noth-ing of note occurred for the rest of the evening – let’s hope BuGils FC gets back to winning ways, in the bars at least, very soon, or this newsletter will have one of those pages which says ‘this page has been intentionally left blank’. As a �nal note, the follow-ing morning one of the watching WAGs summed up the di�erence between the teams with a very astute tactical observation – the Japanese won because they were slimmer...!

*note - only one claimed he had ‘inherited it’ from a ‘girlfriend’

Another Saturday afternoon and another defeat for BuGils. This time to another pub team – Murphy’s – whom we thought before (and after) the game should have been beatable. There had been a lot of talk about whether Murphy’s could raise enough players. To their credit, and to BuGils discredit, Murphy’s turned up with more players than us.....including one who had apparently been persuaded mid-drinking session to come along and play. He did well overall, albeit picking up a yellow card in the process for a scything tackle which left the victim (Yvon) covering at least 50% of his body with Dettol and Betadine in EP after the game. BuGils being the team it is, Yvon didn’t get much sympathy – in fact much laughter ensued when we heard that he was heading back to work in Italy the following day...�ying economy, or classe vache as they say in Yvon’s lingo. That must have been a tres, tres uncomfortable trip, non? Many of the BuGils team were heading to functions later in the evening so there was not much chance for the usual apres game and associated noteworthy happenings . This was compensated for on Sunday though as many of the team gathered to see ‘King’ o� on his three month (or so) trip to Perth. King had o�ered to buy a few pitchers which always guarantees a good turn out and those of us who turned up were most grateful – thanks King, see you soon..........now where do we �nd another goalie willing to stand a round or two (rather than just stand around)?. We were also grateful that our friends from Guadeloupe* joined – one all in black and the other all in white. John, in white, stole the show with his white shorts and white, buckled loafers. Huggy Bear would have traded his fur jacket and Danny Zuko might have traded Sandy for a pair of those! John and Gio (aka Jonathan) also entertained with their attempted explanations of their antics during the game on Saturday – on several occasions the pair were engaged in heated exchanges in French accompanied by animated �apping of shirts around the midri�. Was this some form of insult, focusing on the male genitalia? Was it Guadeloupe sign language for “mark your man”? Or was it simply an attempt to cool down? We’ll never know as the explanations were inter-rupted by a need to join in yet another rendition of “Aicha, Aicha ecoute moi...” and to initiate a dance competition. The only other memory from the evening was the after e�ect (eurgh!)...oh, and the conclusion that George should have passed.

*please note our friends are actually from Cameroon but apparently Guadeloupe sounds more exotic and has more pulling power. Please also

note that Jasper got his �rst ‘assist’, allowing PEB a nice �nish and a faint temporary hope of salvaging something from the game.

DE HOOISo often I hear people say, “Hey Harry, why is the newsletter always about you? Why don’t you write it about De Hooi?” And I’m like, “Probably because I write the damn thing.” But OK, why don’t I try to make this one about De Hooi. This one will be about the customers and a typical week of them in De Hooi.I guess our �rst regular customer of the day would be Mr. Townsend. He’s of a better vintage, the only way I remember his name (because you know how bad I am with names) is because of The Who and Pete Townsend. He comes in, checks the paper and tips a few cold ones back.Then comes Ross, he comes in mid afternoon to have a wined down from a stressful day of work and to catch up on his programs. He’s usually in the front somewhere with headphones on. Most of the time he’s happy enough to pause his ipod long enough to tell you to f#ck o�. LOL. No, but seriously great guy and fun to talk to.Then comes our regular older natural resource industry men and such and lots of kids from the local international schools around late afternoon. They don’t seem to get along that well but usually tolerate each other. They buzz o� right around sunset.

de Hooi in Pics

Then on most occasions it gets a little quiet, a few people will come for dinner, maybe one or two people will come in to get an early start on the night to come. And then people start slow coming one by one, two by two, etc… and by 9, 10 o’clock De Hooi is a rockin so don’t bother knocking.Mostly younger people but some older, mostly well educated and/or wealthy and mostly Indonesian but some people from all over the world. You can always �nd Girry here Monday thru Friday. He’s the Chinese guy with a fancy hat and lots of bling bling on drinking beer with ice in it. And regularly we have the Brainwash gang, I could name all of them but they know who they are.And there you go.

EP is pleased to announce the opening of its upcoming exhibit: the watercolor painting of Eran Fraenkel, that opens on Thursday, November 4th, 2010, at 19:00.

Born in Jerusalem, Eran Fraenkel has lived all over the world: in the US; the Balkans; Western Europe; the Middle East; and since 2005 in Indonesia. Eran’s story has always been rooted in music. In his early teens, he discovered Balkan folk music and since then has been immersed in traditional musical cultures from SE Europe, the Middle East, and now Indonesia.

Eran founded and played in various Balkan bands, including MERAK in Los Angeles. For him, MERAK, meaning “passion” in the Balkans, is where music and painting intersect.

As a self-taught artist, Eran is inspired by all his diverse musical experiences that he fuses to create rhythm, texture, and timbre in paint. Eran has also been in�uenced by the calligraphic traditions of Islam and the geometries of Islamic art, as is evident in his pen and ink drawings.

So -- come, have a wonderful meal, and go home with a unique work of locally created art.

They brightened up the whole bar.... How has he managed to keep them this white??

This extremely influencial artist was born on 2nd May 1902 in The Hague, the Netherlands. His father, Gerrit Jan Hofker, a public servant with the postal services, was also an amateur artist and writer. As well as attending the Haagse Academie and the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten, he was also educated by Willem Witsen and Isaac Israel who were friends of his father.

In 1927 Willem Hofker won the 2nd prize at the Prix de Rome and in 1930 he married Maria Rueter, also a painter, daughter of Georg Rueter who was a painter and lecturer at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam.

In the 1920s Hofker concluded a number of monumental decorative assignments, one of which was for the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomvaart Maatschappij, for whom he made a few mural paintings of ships. His reputation as a portrait artist was such, that he received the assignment in 1936 to paint a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina for the head office of the Koninklijke Pakketvaart Maatschappij (KPM) in Batavia in the East Indies.

In 1938 the couple accompanied the painting to the Dutch East-Indies and concluded with a trip through the colonies. During this trip they made drawings and paintings of Indonesian subjects which could be reproduced and used by the KPM.

The Hofkers settled in Bali where Willem made popular drawings of Balinese landscapes and people. They socialised with many painters including Spies, Strasser, Meyer and their good friend Rudolf Bonnet. In 1940, the couple moved to Ubud and in the period between 1938 to 1944 most of Hofker’s work in Indonesia was created. His art pieces were refined and flowing, as well as poetic. His paintings were idealised, but never overly romanticised, portraits focusing on real people.

In the Second World War, Hofker was forced by the KNIL (Royal Dutch East-Indies Army) in Surabaya to join the services, upon which his wife and he were interned by the Japanese occupier in different camps, he himself in Tanah Toraja, in central Celebes (Sulawesi). During this period, most of the sketches of Maria Hofker were lost. At the end of the war, the couple decided not to join the Indonesian nationalists and returned home to the Netherlands.

Back home in the Netherlands, Hofker still continued to record people and landscapes of Bali on paper and canvas. In the latter part of his life, Hofker published his works and his Balinese pieces were very much in demand and drew

international attention.

Willem Gerard Hofker died in Amsterdam on 30th April 1981, but he lives on in his art. He will be remembered for painting the ultimate icons of Bali’s extraordinary pre-World War II “Golden Age”.
