Experts Say it May be Timeto Move or Remove Some ofB a l i ' s M o n u m e n t a lLandmarks.

Commenting in Bali Post,a leading observer of zoningregulation in Bali, Ir. PutuRumawan Salain, and the vice-

chairman of the Bali House ofRepresentatives (DPRD-Bali),Ketut Suwandi, has boldly calledfor a re-evaluation of thenumerous statues decoratingmany Bali's intersections in termsof the detrimental contribution

they make to theisland's traffic situation.

During the reign ofSuwenda as mayor ofDenpasar, the constructionof hero monuments at theU b u n g a n d N a n g k aintersections were ordered.

This was followed by theconstruction of the dragons t a t u e i n d o w n t o w nDenpasar at "SimpangEnam" and the Dewa Rucimonument at "SimpangSiur." There are otherstatues, including a nursingmother monument near theSanglah General Hospital.All these statues wereerected to help beatify thecity. But now, with trafficjams affecting many areas ofDenpasar and south Bali, thesesame statues are seen asimpeding traffic flows.

With plans now afoot tobuild flyovers to ease traffic flowsat busy intersections, gardensa n d mo n u me n ts ma y b ed o w n s i z e d o r r e m o v e d .Parliamentarian Suwandi hadgone so far as to suggest that anumber of statues in Bali shouldbe removed to reduce trafficcongestion.

Rumawan joined thechorus, saying it is not enough toview statues and monuments inBali from only an aestheticstance. Prolonged traffic jams inBali also have a high social costincluding lost productivity andincreased use of precious fuel.

Said Rumawan : "Don'tallow this to develop in anuncontrolled manner, like at theSimpang Siur round-about. Thesevere traffic congestion in thatarea is now very difficult tocontrol." The zoning expert alsocalled on the government toevaluate buildings standing inclose proximity to the traffic circle,

retaining only thosebuildings that beautify the area.

Rumawan wants the

government to exercise morecaution before issuing buildingpermits, saying, "Don't beseduced by money and desires toenlarge the tax base into issuingbuilding permits that destroy theappearance of the community."He wants to see the localgovernment tighten the issuanceof building permits in strategicareas, paying attention to hownew buildings will contribute topopulation density and trafficflows.

Rumawan also wants tosee local governments developdetailed engineering designscovering fast developing areas ofthe island, such as Seminyak,Jimbaran and Serangan. Theconstruction of roadside statuesin strategic growth areas withoutbenefit of an overall plan candestroy the aesthetic of the areasconcerned.

Suwandi said it was timethat many of the statues standingat intersections be removed orreplaced.

ALIEN IN PHILLY SUFFERS HEATSTROKEKuta Weekly News Corner

PHILADELPHIA, PA - Astemperatures neared 100Monday, after hovering inthe high 90s during theweek, a Southside alien wastaken to Mercy Hospitalsuffering from heatstroke.

The Southside alien was

spotted this morning nearBuddy's Pizza. He seemed to besleeping on a box of deep dish butwhen a Tommy Fiori, a ten-year-old in the neighborhood, took acloser look he could tell the alienwas sick. I told mamma aboutthe creature on the pizza box, butshe didn't want to leave the air-conditioning. My papa cameoutside with his baseball bat, buthe could tell right away the alienlooked sick. Carlo Fiori thoughtthe alien ate some bad pepperoni,but then figured that it had to bethe heat. I'm boiling my nuts off

out here! Fiori called localauthorities, who took the alien toMercy Hospital.

Ph i lade lph ia Hea l thDepartment spokesman, JohnGrimaldi, urged all humans anda l iens to take necessaryprecautions in the heat. Grimaldiadvised all beings to drink plenty

of water,wear lightweight,l i g h t - c o l o r e dloose clothingand limit activityduring the day.He advises allresidents to wearsunglasses with

UV protection,especially aliens.Those big eyescan easily be damaged by thesun.

Mayor Nutter sent theP h i l a d e l p h i a E x o b i o l o g yDepartment to the hospital toassist. Department Head, Dr.Zach Collins, said his team wasdoing everything they could tohelp keep the alien alive. He wasalso initiating Philadelphia's AlienCommunication System (ACS) inorder to reach all aliens residing inPhiladelphia. It's important that

local aliens seek air-conditioningas soon as possible. Collinssaid the city will open up severalpublic buildings for aliens to use toescape the heat. This is the cityof Brotherly Love, we take care ofall those who live here, includingour aliens. A representat ive for alocal alien group, Philadelphia

E.T. (PET), felt the effortwas unnecessary. We've beenoccupying Philly public spaces fordecades particularly the FreePublic Library. Aliens arefa sc i n a te d w i th l e a r n i n geverything about humans.

Warning signs for heatstroke include loss of energy, lossof appetite, nausea, light-h e a d e d n e s s , a n d h e a v ysweating. The heat advisory forPhiladelphia will continue for thenext several days. Health

officials said that aliens shouldavoid caffeine and alcohol.Doctors at Mercy Hospital saythat the alien that was brought inhad a strong smell of Sambuca onhis breath.

The alien is expected tomake a full recovery.

BALI THE RIGHT WAYKuta Weekly News Corner

G'day again punters. What afantastic weekend of A.F.L, with the

mighty Pies absolutely thrashing

the West Coast. Good win

gentlemen. The world cup has

moved into final gear with the team

to beat (at this point) looking that

little more like Germany each day.

The next big games are sure to be

great to watch.

Let's move onto a topic more in line

with Bali. Although it's called the

Island Of The Gods and a

fantastic place to holiday or live,

there is one underlying issue that

rea l ly p isses me o f f . Anyguesses?? Beggers, bent coppers,

stupid expats?? None of the above.

My most hated thing on this little

rock is the traffic. I live in a little

home in Jimbaran Bay, which I

bought years ago. Now on a good

day if I leave the house and jump in

the car it can take me 20 minutes to

be sitting at the Town Houses, beer

in hand while enjoying the war

storeys being told by the usual

suspects, however, lately, for some

reason the traffic has been insane.

It can now take me up to 2 hours in

bumper to bumper traffic to get

remotely close. I find myself

parking the car at the end of the

strip and walking the last kilometre,

and we all know you don't get a

body like this from walking very far,

hence the rushed purchase of a

new Honda scooter which is

another complete story. The

powers that be really need to do

something to ease the congestion

on the roads here as personally I

think it is spoiling some people's

holidays being stuck in traffic to just

go and see the volcano or have a

shot at white water rafting. One

couple told me they went to Ubud

and got caught in traffic for threehours. Not my idea of a good

holiday outing. Part of the problem

is the amount of taxis on the road,

all trawling for customers and

holding up all and sundry behind

them. Taxis should be in a rank and

only venture out from the rank

should they have a confirmed call

from HQ or someone jumps in at a

rank. Other perpetrators being big

trucks and delivery vehicles, these,

should all be banished from the

centre of town from 7am till 7pm.

Then put a toll on any vehicle that

drives down the main strip, that

ought to slow them up a bit, let's

make it 50,000rph.

Part of the problem is parking. You

have a two lane, one way road,

running through the centre of town

in which one entire lane is taken up

with parked bikes and cars,

basically reducing the traffic flow by

50%. I believe large multi story car

parks should be erected at strategic

locations to counter this, oops I did

forget the height restrictions on the

island, so I guess that's out of the

question, none the less a good

investment for an investor that

knows.

Ok folks I guess it's time for a littlegreen bottle or two or three, then

down to the beach for a few more,

I hope your week is a good one

and you achieve all you set out to

achieve, and remember I don't

suffer from insanity. I enjoy every

minute of it, Karn The Pies.

That Sinking Feeling

The Badung House ofRepresentatives (DPRD-Badung)is calling for more life-saving

stations to be installed onBali 's famous Kuta Beach,increasing the current total of 6stations to 11.

The demand for morelifeguard stands follows the deathof 3 young students enjoying aschool outing at the Kuta surf beachknown for its substantial waves.The regency's legislators areseeking a larger allocation in the2011 budget to pay for theproposed additional 5 safetystations.

Identifying a lack of life-saving hardware and personnel onall beaches in Badung, legislators

taken to prevent futurewater fatalities. The current numberof lifeguards working on Badung'sbeaches totals 129, substantially

less than the 160 guards believedneeded to adequately guard Bali'ssouthern beaches. Officials havealso identified an urgent need toprovide a higher level of pay andbenefits to the people who, despitethe current limitations, are creditedwith saving hundreds of lives eachyear. In 2009 Bali's lifeguards orbalawista were involved in 369rescues and the retrieval of 16swimmers who perished in Bali'swaters.

Scientists reveal mystery wordon Declaration of IndependenceThe blur of ink on the Declaration ofIndependence has long puzzledhistorians. (AFP: Emmanuel Dunand)

Scientists at the United States Library ofCongress have revealed the moment whenThomas Jefferson altered the Declaration ofIndependence to set the course of American history.

The discovery was made public to mark theFourth of July, when the US celebratesIndependence Day.

The blur of ink on the 1776 document haslong puzzled historians.

Thomas Jefferson, the architect of theDeclaration of Independence, had obviouslychanged his mind about something but until nownobody realised the significance of his thinking.

By examining the draft and the differentwave lengths of light - a process known as hyper-spectral imaging - scientists discovered his originalword was: subjects.

But in a flash of inspiration while the ink wasstill wet he wiped it and wrote citizens instead.

That was the moment, according to

historians, that redefined the American colonists.

ability to finance thecapital investment required forconstruction of the LombokFunpark Patju, particularly sincetitle ownership of the 8.4 hectaresof land earmarked for the projectis in dispute.

Cap i ta l investmentcannot be done before there isclarity on ownership and approvalhas been given and friends in the

The High Cost of High Ways in BaliWork to Start onBa l i ' s S i mpangSiur F lyover in2011.

Construction ofa 6 0 0 - m e t e r - l o n ge l e v a t e d b y p a s sconnecting Bali's South

with the Sunset Road att h e D e w a R u c iMonument (SimpangSiur) will commence in2011. The roadway isexpected to cost Rp.300 billion (US$32.6million) and is targetedto be completed in timefor a major APEC conference tobe held in Bali in 2013.

As reported by the BaliP o s t , t h e c h a i r m a n o fCommission III of the Bali Houseof Representatives (DPRD-Bali), Putu Agus Surdnyana,

said the bypass which will belocated on the western side ofthe Dewa Ruci Monument andrepresents the last hope toovercome traffic congestion inthe area.

Another step discussedto reduce traffic jams near theisland's airport is the widening ofthe highway located in front ofthe Ngurah Rai Statue, near theeastern end of runway for Bali'sairport. From the south leadingto the western end of the airportauthorities would like to create a

o n e - w a y r o a d ,necessitating the widening by 1-2 meters the current northboundlane. To achieve this, discussionare being held with the airport'sauthority, PT Angkasa Pura, tosurrender the right-of-way for the1-2 meters of roadside land thatwill make the project possible.

F l y o v e r s v e r s u sUnderpasses

A m e m b e r o fCommission III of the DPR-Bali,Ida Bagus Udiyana, said the costof creating a flyover is much lessthat installing an undergroundtunnel at the Simpang Siurround-a-bout. Said Udiyana:"This is a pressing programwhich must be commenced assoon as possible bearing in mindthat there are a number ofinternational events facing us. If

t h e c u r r e n tsituation is allowed tocontinue, the trafficcongestion will becomeworse. Kuta will notdevelop to become ametropolitan centrebut, instead, a 'misery-opolis" an urban centrethat is crowded andunpleasant for localresidents."

P r o b l e m sAhead?

In a follow upreport in Bali Post saysthe construction of theflyover may be delayed

or impeded by the high level ofcompensation being sought byproperty owners who will have tomove for the project to go ahead.

Established buildings inthe area that are in possession of

valid building permits renderproblematic the job of officialsseeking to vacate the estimated1.5 hectares of land needed tobuild the highway. Based on acurrent valuation of Rp. 500million (US$54,400) per are (100square meters), a total of Rp. 75billion (US$8.15 million) will berequired for land acquisitionalone.

Officials will also have torelocate high power electricallines in order for the new roadproject to go ahead.

Slamming the Door on Illegal Drugs in IndonesiaJ a k a r t aand Bali:M a j o rGatewaysf o rIndonesia's IllegalNarcoticsTrade.

The NationalA n t i -NarcoticsA g e n c y(BNN) has

cited Jakarta and Bali as the country's majorgateways for illicit drugs. As reported byberitabali.com, arrests in recent years of drugsyndicate couriers at Jakarta's Soekarno-HattaInternational Airport and Bali's Ngurah RaiInternational Airport underline these two cities'

major attraction to drug cartels.The head of BNN, Gories Mere, told those in

attendance at a South Korean-Indonesian conferenceon controlling narcotics held in Nusa Dua that theairports of both Bali and Jakarta serve as major conduitsfor illegal narcotics.

According to Gories, Iran is dominating as asource for the growing supply of illegal narcotics inIndonesia. "There (in Iran) the narcotics cost only Rp.

100 million for one kilogram and can be sold here (inIndonesia) for Rp. 2 billion an increase in price of2,000%," explained the nation's top anti-drugpoliceman.

Gories estimates that the use of shabu(methamphetamine) in Indonesia has increased by33% over the past year. Meanwhile, the use of heroinand cocaine is on the decline. However, on theaggregate, BNN estimates that illicit drug use hasincreased 300% in the period from 2003 unti l 2009.

City Vehicle Tests FailOnly 25%

City environment agency tests onselected vehicles show a quarter oft hem fa i l ed t o meet emiss ionstandards. The tests, at a new hard-track facility at Kompyang Sujanasports field in the city, are designed toreduce Denpasar's heavy air pollutionfrom vehicles.

Environment chief Alit Sudibya saidthe city would continue to implementemission controls measures as part of itspollution-reduction campaign.

Of the 32 cars and 25 motorcyclestested on Tuesday, 75 percent passed thetest based on the 2006 national ministerialdecree on threshold emission limits.

Drivers and riders whose vehiclesand bikes failed the test were urged to havethem serviced. We appealed to the ownersto play their part in cleaning up Denpasar'sair quality, Subidya said, adding that theEnvironmental Agency and TransportDepartment hoped to conduct testsregularly.

F o r t u n a t e l y , arepresentative from the Guinnessbook was there to record theshort-lived creation.

It took 628 kilos of flour,508 kilos of sugar, 350 eggs and

18 kilos of butter to make thebricks of cake used to build thepastry tower.

But the huge cake is notedible and will be turned intofertiliser.

Some pieces of thetowering cake will be on display inan exhibition at the architecturecentre until Sunday.

However, as much as you hateto admit it, one particular individual seems to have beendetermined to cause you problems. While that's true, theyhaven't singled you out. They're the same with everybody.Still, use this to learn about assessing who you can, and can't,trust.CAPRICORN Dec 21 - Jan 19Life would be a lot easier if you could just deal withproblematic situations all at once and move on. But judging bythe series of planetary aspects involving your ruler Saturn,

frequent changes in circumstances will necessitate takingthings in stages. This demands patience, but leads toarrangements that last.AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 17Now that you're able to look back on recent disagreements,it's becoming increasingly clear these were more of amisunderstanding than anything else. While this means thatremedying issues will probably require numerous longconversations, what you learn about others and the situationsinvolved will more than justify the time and patience needed.PISCESFeb 18 - March 19One particular plan or project has been part of your life for solong that you'd be sorry to see it go. That's the problem. This isgoing nowhere and, worse, is distracting you from other ideaswith far greater potential. If you can't forget it, at least makeother projects your priority.

ARIES March 20 - April 19There's a difference between being frank with others,which you have been, and discussing the facts in

detail. You've avoided going into certain matters indepth because you feared this would lead to lengthyand tedious conversations. It may. But as the issues inquestion won't vanish, they really must be dealt with.TAURUSApril 20 - May 20Because every sign is influenced by the currentcombination of Uranus and the expansive Jupiter togetherin the heavens, those around you are more inspired thanusual. While some of their ideas are exciting, others arerather far-fetched. Don't worry. This is all aboutexploration. They'll soon discover how outlandish thoseideas are.GEMINIMay 21 - June 20Don't be shy about telling others exactly how you feelabout their words or actions. Even if you know thiscould upset them. Actually, they are already upset, butthat's because they simply don't understand what theproblem is. You've a talent for discussing such issuesfrankly, but with a touch of humour.CANCER June 21 - July 21For ages you've put off decisions about potentialchanges in your way of living or working because youfelt unsure it was the right moment. Now seems events

themselves are taking control. Unsettling as this is, bythe Cancer eclipse, in about a week's time, you'llrecognise how appropriate they are.LEO July 22 - Aug 22Being fearless in the face of those situations orindividuals you disagree with may be a virtue.Currently, however, it could cause you real problems.In fact, standing up to them would make things worse.Bide your time. The ideal moment to confront them willappear. But it's not now.VIRGOAug 23 - Sep 22Giving advice is one thing. Others actually taking it isanother matter, as you're about to learn. Painful as it iswatching anybody do something you know will lead todisaster, there really is nothing more you can say. Youcan, however, remain quietly by the sidelines, ready topick up the pieces.

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince,she

happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching

the world go by from her front porch, with a cat

named Bob for companionship.

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared

the

fairy godmother.

Cinderella said, 'Fairy Godmother, what are y ou

doing here after all these years'?

The fairy godmother replied, 'Cinderella, you have

lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Isthere

anything for which your heart still yearns?'

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after

some thoughtful consideration, she uttered her

first wish:

'The prince was wonderful, but not much of an

investor.

I'm living hand to mouth on my disability

cheques, and I wish I were wealthy beyond

comprehension.

Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold.

Cinderella said, Ooh, thank you, Fairy

Godmother'

The fairy godmother replied,It is the least that Ican do. What do you want for your second wish?'

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said,

'I wish I were young and full of the beauty and

youth I once had.' At once, her wish became

reality, and her beautiful young visage returned.

Cinderella felt stirrings inside her that had been

dormant for years.

And then the fairy godmother spoke once more:

'You have one more wish; what shall it be?'

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the

Having already downed a few power drinks, she turnsaround, faces him, looks him str aight in the eye andsays,"Listen here good looking, I screw anybody,anytime, anywhere, your place, my place, in the car,fr ont door, back door, on the gr ound, standing up,sitting down, naked or with clothes on; it doesn'tmatter to me. I just love it!"Eyes now wide with interest, he responds, "No kidding,I'm in the Labour Part y too! What state ar e you from?

corner and says, 'I wish for you to transform Bob,

my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man.'

Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so

fundamental

a change in his biological make-up that, when he

stood before her, he was a man so beautiful the

likes of him neither she nor the world had ever

seen.

The fairy godmother said, 'Congratulations,

Cinderella, enjoy your new life.'

With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the

fairy godmother was gone as suddenly as sheappeared.

For a few eerie moments,

Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes.

Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most

beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever

seen.

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat

transfixed in her rocking chair, & held her close in

his young muscular arms.

He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his

warm breath as he whispered...

'Bet you're sorry now that you cut my nuts off.

At a bar ...

but in Bali all of Balinese areHindu Ciwa. The two religions(Hindu and Buddhist) arrive fromJava and some extend from Indiaduring the 8 th to 16 th centuries.The main symbol of BalineseHinduism is the Swastika orwheel of the sun. An importantbelief is that elements of natureare influenced by spirit, which hasbeen appeased. As suchofferings (Sesajen) made fromagriculture product are offered tothis spirit. It is believed that MountAgung is the abode of the godsa n d t h eancestors.As such, itis revereda s t h e` m o t h e r `mounta ina n d i sh i g h l ysacred to

Collingwood's Luke Ball likely to lose licence afterrunning red light

Didak and Heath Shaw from playing after adrunken Shaw crashed his car and denied Didakhad been a passenger.

And the Pies incurred a $200,000 fine fromTAC in May 2006 when Chad Morrison was caughtdrink-driving.

TAC road safety manager Samantha

Cockfield said intersections accounted for 51 percent of Melbourne's serious-injury crashes andalmost a third of the state's fatal accidents.

"A car only needs to be travelling at 50km/hfor the occupant to be seriously injured or killed,"she said.

Ball can retain his licence if he promises tokeep a clean driving record for a year or he can optto lose his licence for three months for 12 demeritpoints, plus an extra month for each additional fourdemerit points.

Victorian drivers must not receive 12 ormore demerit points within three years.

St Kilda vice-captain Lenny Hayes hasdismissed suggestions the club could be taking arisk by allowing star full-forward Nick Riewoldt tomake his AFL return against the Brisbane Lions atthe Gabba this Saturday.

The Saints skipper has been sidelined sinceApril after surgery to fix a damaged tendon.

"It's always a

little bit hard but I don't think it'll matter toomuch," he said.

"Nick's been training really well with themain group for four or five weeks, the coaches andmedical staff will make a decision later in the week.

"I don't think that will come into it too much."Hayes said he would be welcomed back

with open arms, and denied the club could afford toease him back more slowly given its lofty standing.

"It would be great to get him back. We allknow what a champion he is," Hayes said.

"I don't think our position on the ladderwould come into it too much, the club's going to dowhat's best for Nick.

"Hopefully it's this week, but if not this week,I'm sure it will be the week after."

Hayes said having Riewoldt back on thetraining paddock had injected new life into theclub's push for only its second flag.

"It's given the boys a spring in the step,seeing him back out there," he said.

"He's such a big part of our team and club.He's our captain and we all love playing footy withhim.

"It's been really exciting just seeing him runaround, he's in pretty good touch on the trainingtrack so hopefully he takes that into games.

Hawthorn captain Sam Mitchell will miss histeam's next two AFL games after undergoingsurgery for a broken hand.

Mitchell had a plate inserted on Mondaynight following a slight fracture to his right handsuffered suffered in Friday night's win against the

Western Bulldogs at the MCG.Hawks football manager Mark Evans said

on Tuesday the decision to insert a plate was madeafter it became apparent that Mitchell would missthis weekend's match against Geelong.

Mitchell had surgery on Monday night."We had decided that inserting a plate was

the best option as he would have missed thisweek's match anyway due to the fracture," Evanssaid.

"The plate will give him maximum strength

around the fracture site and he is likely to onlymiss one to two weeks, depending on how it settlesdown."

M e a n w h i l edefender Rick Ladson wasdue to be released fromhospital on Tuesday afterhe was admitted over theweekend for observation

following dehydration.Ladson was a latewithdrawal from Fridaynight's team.

But the Hawkscould be lifted by the returnof ruckman Simon Taylorfrom a broken leg.

BARLOW'SBAD BREAK.

The feel-good story of AFL season 2010 took the cruelest

twist of all on Saturday afternoon when Fremantle rookie MichaelBarlow broke the fibula and tibia bones in his left leg. The sickeningincident puts an end to one of the great debut seasons in recenthistory. The Dockers accumulator was on track to win All Australianselection and had been touted as a Brownlow Medal chance. Now,the best-case scenario is he plays round one next year. Coach MarkHarvey says the Dockers will cope without their prolific midfielder.Time will tell. Ironically, Rhys Palmer, the man Barlow collided with,could fill his role. He picked up 31 possessions in his best game of theseason against Port Adelaide on Saturday.

BOMBERS GROUNDED,AGAIN.

There are few bands of followers in the game as passionateas the Essendon faithful. They're as passionate as AC/DC lovers.Matthew Knights knows that better than most and felt the full wrath ofthe disgruntled supporters on Sunday morning when he woke to thetalkback tidal wave. It seems Knights, more than any other coach inthe competition, cops it after a poor performance. Granted, Saturdaynight's capitulation against the Crows was not acceptable. DustinFletcher's absence to an already Tayte Pears-less defence exposedthe Bombers. Their season has slipped away in the past three weeksand Essendon supporters demand more. It's yet another testing timefor the coach.

EIGHT AIN'T GREAT.Whoever claims the final spot in this year's

eight is wasting their time. Last year we sawEssendon sneak in and get annihilated by theCrows in the first week of September. You will begetting good odds if you think that will change thisseason. Round 14 wasn't a good one for the'contenders'. The Swans let a chance to consolidatetheir pace in the top half of the competition slip whenthey gave up a 33-point lead to Richmond. NorthMelbourne were handed a reality check by anundermanned Geelong down the highway. Perhapsthe most telling thing about the race for eighth is thefact Adelaide have closed to within two games of aplace in the finals. Perhaps a wildcard play-off underthe new system isn't that crazy after all. At least thena side with form is likely to be there when the whipsare cracking.

the field and Alastair Clarkson is ensuring theHawks are back to their unsociable ways off it.Clarkson and club legend Dermott Breretonclashed on the airwaves on Saturday. The Hawkscoach accused Brereton of betraying the club anddisclosing private information in his recent articlesuggesting that Luke Hodge would have been abetter captain than current skipper Sam Mitchell. Itwas uneasy listening on Melbourne station SEN.Clarkson told Brereton that he had "crossed theline" and suggested his allegiance to his mediaemployer was stronger than his ties with the

Hawks. Clarkson's stance reminded many of theHawks of 2008, the year they won the flag.

THE LONG HAUL.In the next two seasons we are going to get two new teams in the competition. That's likely to see

the home-and-away season stretched beyond its current 22-week system. While we all love our footy, isthat going to prove to be too much of a good thing? At the moment there are nine teams with a realisticchance of making the finals. Half of those can't win the flag and it's round 14. Port Adelaide, BrisbaneLions, West Coast, Essendon and even the supposedly improving Melbourne Demons have eight weeksof torture left. Let's hope they can find positives in the long road to round 22.

Five defeats in six games,42 points scored in its last fiveencounters - Parramatta is a club incrisis, admits skipper NathanCayless.

Favourites to win the NRLgrand final at the start of the seasonafter a stunning second half to the2009 campaign, a top-four spotlooked a shoo-in even before a ballwas kicked.

High-profile signings such as NSW propJustin Poore, Sydney Roosters backrower ShaneShackleton and the return of Timana Tahu from aspell in rugby, bolstered an already powerful-lookingroster.

The re-signings of superstar Jarryd Hayneand exciting young playmaker Daniel Mortimer justbefore the start of the season added to the hype.

But it has not gone to plan. Poore hasstruggled to settle since arriving from St GeorgeIllawarra, Shackleton sustained a season-endinginjury in his first game and Tahu is midway through afour-game suspension following his brain snapagainst Newcastle.

In addition, Hayne looks a shadow of theplayer who won the Dally M Medal last year andMortimer is suffering from second-season syndromeas he struggles to cope with his move to half-backfrom five-eighth.

With 17 rounds now played and no more byeweeks available, the Eels sit in 10th spot followingSunday's 35-6 defeat by the Warriors, four pointsoutside the top eight.

"We're probably a club that has about three orfour crises every year," said Cayless.

"It's just part of the game and it's our turn at themoment, if we get a couple of wins it will be someoneelse's turn to be in crisis.

"You've got to wingames, that's what weget paid for. We're notdoing that at the momentand we'll be in crisis untilwe have a win."

The Eels went toMount Smart Stadiuma f t e r H a y n e h a d

emerged from the NSWState of Origin camp todeny he wanted to leavethe club after beingcriticised publicly by

coach Daniel Anderson following last weekend's 10-6defeat by Brisbane.

Cayless denied the headlines had affected theteam, but admitted Monday week's home game againstlowly North Queensland could make or break theirseason.

"Jarryd hasn't been at training this week becausehe's been in Origin camp and at the end of the day we'reall professionals, we've all got a job to do," he said.

"It was just a couple of little fundamental errorsthat really hurt us ... but we've got to keep working andkeeping digging to get a win next week."

The Eels, like l ast year, have a difficult run towardsthe end of the season.

They visit Penrith, Brisbane and the Gold Coast inaddition to western Sydney derbies against Wests Tigersand Canterbury and a potentially crucial battle againstSydney Roosters in round 21.

And although they will take heart from their run lastyear, winning seven of their last eight games beforereaching the grand final, Cayless warned againstexpecting a repeat performance.

"Last year was last year, it's totally different thisyear," the skipper said.

"We're not playing that well at the moment in termsof our attack and we've just got to get some confidence byplaying confidently, we've got to break the shackles, getsome points on the board, score some good tries and getour confidence up.

Brisbane Lions need Fevola,Maguire to return for St Kilda clash


19

Brisbane are sweating on theresults of Brendan Fevola andMatt Maguire's fitness tests asthe Lions look to bolster theirside for the round 14 clashagainst St Kilda.

The Lions have given upthoughts of making the finals butare determined to regain somerespect.

Although their confidencehas been battered over a dismal10 weeks, the mood was good

after the news popularrecruit Xavier Clarke will makehis long-awaited debut in thereserves against Broadbeach.

The Lions have beenrocked by injury and has hadto deal with an unprecedentednumber of controversies -

most of them surrounding Fevola.Veteran Simon Black, who

was at the club when they lastwon the wooden spoon in 1998,admitted this season felt similarbut stressed the players had donea great job remaining united.

Black also said thepubl ici ty Fevola attractedreminded him of former teammateJason Akermanis's last days atthe club in 2006, where he lurchedfrom one controversy to another.

But Black insisted it wasnot causing problems for theplaying group.

"Not really, it is an issue forFev that doesn't really affect therest of the guys," he said.

"It was similar to whenAker was here, there'd be anissue going around but it didn'treally affect the group."

The Lions will plan forSaints skipper Nick Riewoldt'sreturn after receiving inside mailfrom his cousin, Richmond TigerJack Riewoldt.

Assistant coach JadeRawlings said they hoped to haveFevola and Maguire back tocounter the anticipated return ofthe Saints superstar.

"He (Fevola) trainedyesterday at a reasonable level sowe expect he will train tomorrow

and we will then make a judgmenton that," Rawlings said.

"Matt Maguire will also betested. They are the mainchances."

The Lions are hopingClarke, who has been hamperedby a knee injury, can force his wayinto senior calculations by the endof the season, giving a platformfor next year.

The former No.5 draft pickwas thrown a career lifeline byBrisbane at the end of last yearwhen his career at St Kildaappeared over after five injury

ravaged seasons."That is a really good story

for a guy who, at one stage, didn'tlook like playing at all this year,"Rawlings said.

"He is a great spirit aroundthe place - he has remainedremarkably positive and it wouldbe great if he could get a fewgames under his belt and push forselection later in the season."

Tame Tigers. Wests Tigers occupy third spot on the NRL Ladder, but after

a scrappy win against Brisbane Broncos, many will question theTigers' credentials as a top four team. Sure they are missing theirtwo first-choice halfbacks but TimSheens' men have not been ableto find their attacking fluency withthe same consistency since TimMoltzen went down in round five.Lote Tuqiri's involvement hasdropped off and Benji Marshall haslooked uncertain since movinginto the halfback role.
