also made an outreach to residents regarding the hazards of rabies. The elimination was once constrained because some dog owners did not allow the elimination of their pet dog though theirs had interacted or fought against rabid dogs that previously showed an indication of rabies. At least, six stray dogs could be euthanized. Based on information from the Agriculture Agency, it recorded 64 cases of positive rabies in Jembrana Regency within the past 11 months. The number tended to increase from year to year. Previously in 2010, it was only found 21 cases of rabies dog, 87 cases in 2011 and in 2012 had been found 64 cases of rabies dog. (kmb26)
People performed euthanasia or elimination on stray dog. Outbreaks of rabies through dog broke out at Baler Bale Agung village, Negara subdistrict. A number of dogs were tested positive to rabies and bit a dozen people over the past week. This situation made the locals restless.
DENPASAR - The resettlement program ever encouraged by government is now starting to be evaluated as carried out by Denpasar Municipality. Starting in 2012, the municipal government no longer sends its residents through the resettlement program. To improve the welfare of poor families, the municipal government decides to make a community empowerment program. The Head of Denpasar Manpower, Resettlement and Social Agency, I Made Erwin Suryadarma Sena, who met in the mayor’s office said the termination of the resettlement program for residents of Denpasar was not only due to the incidents in a number of destinations involving the migrants with local residents like the case happened at Balinuraga village, South Lampung, recently. However, it was more based on the desire to empower the residents by providing a variety of life skill training to raise their family income. “The Mayor of Denpasar, I.B. Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra has ordered the relevant regional working units (SKPD) such as the People Empowerment Agency

(BPM), Manpower, Resettlement and Social Agency, Health Agency, Education Agency, Development Planning Board, Industry and Trade Agency, Cooperatives and SMEs Agency and Economic Affairs to make a community empowerment program,” said Erwin. Especially in the Manpower, Resettlement and Social Agency, continued Erwin, his party had facilitated the job seekers to be channeled for working overseas or on cruise ships. The training program had also been provided for poor people in order they could attend the training for working on cruise ships such as the training of washing dish. By working on cruise ship, they were expected to increase the family income, so as to reduce the interest of the family concerned to join the resettlement program. “Aside from poor families, the retired civil servants are also provided with training so that they will be more empowered to live their lives,” said Erwin. He said the last resettlement program followed by residents of Denpasar was recorded in 2011. At that time, only 10 families of Denpasar residents were dispatched to Konawe, South Sulawesi. (kmb12)

DENPASAR - Dozens of broiler chickens breeders that are in the Bali Poultry Breeder Group (PPAB) approached Bali House of Representatives last Tuesday (13/11) as they are annoyed by partner companies and big investors also sold their chickens in local markets. Their approach was welcomed by Commission II member, Nyoman Gde Putra Astawa Drh. Head of PPAB, Ketut Yahya Kurniadi Drh. Stated theses individual breeders felt squashed with these big investors or big modals companies selling their poultry lower than individual breeders. They asked for fair and balance market so that both sides can sell their products. They also demanded government to finish the Governor Regulation that has been planned by government in protecting small breeders. Meanwhile PPAB Advisor, Gede Agus Drh. Stated these past few
years Bali have experienced an oversupply of broiler chickens where in 2004-2010 it reached 80-100 thousands alive chicken per day while broiler reached 140-150 thousands per day when actually Bali only needs 100,000 per day. “Bali is much oversupplied, if the production is low it reached 120,000 chickens,” Agus explained. One causer was because of there are many breeders, big (manufacture) and small (individuals) yet the much growing ones were those big manufacturers from outside Bali. The high increase of Bali individual breeders and big manufacturers moved to Bali were also due to the stoppage of any bird distribution from outside Bali due to bird flu that happened. Yet it seemed a number of living chicken supplies to Bali still are sent since the stoppage which is unfair to smaller companies. Funnily, those joint companies
in Bali many has no Poultry Cutlery House (RPA) when actually they have the modal to make one. Astawa stated the joint company was only needed for the modal and should market their product for export (outside Bali) or build a food processing company. Astawa promised will coordinate with executive sides to finish the Governor Regulation as there are a number of sections needed to be revised so little companies can be advantaged. Inside the planned regulation, those joint companies have to have a RPA and those produces more than 1000 pigs in 1 month has to build a Pig Cutlery Place. To those who produces 250 thousands more chickens in a month also has to have a RPA. “In the future, joint companies wherever they are has to report their operation to connected institution in their area,” Astawa clarified.
