Ay Caramba! ‘The Simpsons’ to break record as longest-running U.S. show

LOS ANGELES - The Simpsons have traveled the world, saved Springfield from annihilation and even stepped into virtual reality, but the beloved animated family is entering new ground as it heads toward a record-breaking 30th season.

“The Simpsons” has been renewed for two more seasons running until 2019, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc’s Fox Broadcasting said on Friday, meaning it will break the record for most episodes of any scripted television show in U.S. history.

“The Simpsons” is currently in its 28th season, with just over 600 episodes aired. By 2019, it will have outpaced western TV drama “Gun-

smoke,” which concluded after 635 episodes in 1975.

“Take that ‘Gunsmoke!’You lost a race you didn’t even know you were running!,” Homer Simpson said in a statement from Fox. Since its 1989 premiere, “The Simpsons” - bumbling patriarch Homer, long-suffering wife Marge, prankster Bart, prodigy Lisa and baby Maggie - have become globally

recognized figures.

The show, which has won 32 Emmy awards and was nominated for an Oscar in the animated short category in 2012, often playfully and poignantly satirizes American culture. Homer’s catchphrase “D’oh” and Bart’s “Ay Caramba” are part of the zeitgeist and the fictional family from Springfield even have a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

The show is syndicated in more than 100 countries and is already the longest-running sitcom and primetime scripted series in U.S. history. (rtr)

Indonesia’s president blames ‘political actors’ for stirring Muslim protest

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo lashed out at politicians for stoking a huge protest by Muslims that briefly turned violent on Friday night as a hardcore group pressed for the resignation of Jakarta’s governor, a Christian they say insulted the Koran.

Muslim protesters chant slogans near burning police trucks during a clash outside the presidential palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, Friday, Nov. 4, 2016.

The first ethnic Chinese politician to lead this sprawling city of 10 million, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama is standing for re-election in February, competing with two Muslims for the job.

The governorship of the capital is a powerful position and it was a stepping stone for Joko Widodo to the presidency of the country two years ago.

At a news conference held in the early hours of Saturday, Widodo called for calm and took a swipe at politicians - whom he didn’t name - for whipping up die-hard demonstrators after most had already gone home. “ ... we deplore the incident after the Isha prayers, when should have already disbanded but became violent. And, we see this was steered by political actors who were exploiting the situation,” Widodo said.

Police fired tear gas and water cannon to subdue a restive crowd that police said swelled to about 150,000 after Friday prayers as they congregated around the presidential palace.

Some protesters threw rocks at the police, two vehicles were torched and a fire broke out near the city’s National Monument, but by the evening the demonstration was fizzling out.

However, in a northern neighbourhood of the city there was a late-night clash between police and a few dozen protesters, and social media reports showed a convenience store being looted. And hundreds camped out until around 4 a.m. beside the parliament building to demand Purnama be charged for

blasphemy.

A police spokesman said one person died and 12 were hurt. Local media said about 23 people were arrested, most of them in the north, where overnight police guarded shopping and residential areas that are home to predominantly nonMuslims.

About a dozen Muslim groups have accused Purnama of insulting Islam after he jokingly said his opponents had used a verse from the Koran to deceive voters. The verse implies that Muslims should not choose non-Muslims as leaders.

Chanting “God is greatest”, many in Friday’s protest waved placards calling for Purnama, popularly known as Ahok, to be jailed for blasphemy. A white banner hung at an overpass was painted with red letters that read “Hang Ahok here”.

Police are investigating the case against Purnama, who has apologised for his remarks, insisting he was not criticising the Koranic verse but those who used it to attack him. Purnama has a reputation as a no-nonsense reformer with little patience for the corruption widely blamed for the chaos and dilapidated infrastructure of an overcrowded city.

Balinese-speaking day and fate of Balinese language teachers

C U R R E N T LY the Balinesespeaking day is intensified in Denpasar and Badung.

Probably this will be followed by other districts in Bali.

In the city of Denpasar, it is done every Wednesday, full moon and new moon. This program is positive

to support smart city as long as it is followed by commitment of the municipal government to recruit Balinese language teachers.

Balinese-speaking day program has actually been done earlier in the environment of the PGRI schools in Denpasar on Fridays while English on Saturdays. Chairman of the YPLP PGRI Denpasar, I Nengah Madiadnyana, said the program has been running since the

past 6-8 years. Now, it just needs to be strengthened and adjusted to the program of the Denpasar municipality.

In the meantime, Principal of the SMAN 3 Denpasar high school, I Ketut Suyastra, reminded that the Balinese-speaking day program on Wednesday, full moon and new moon should not be imposed on all fronts, including at schools must be done in stages. He worried, when

required, it may cause the students hating Balinese language not to go to school.

At schools, this is adequately applied to programs outside school hours, but if it is required to be applied in classroom learning, he is sure that it can cause problems.

Classroom learning activities for English and Indonesian language are still being done by Indonesian and English, may not be replaced

with Balinese language. So, he reminded that if imposed, it may give rise to new fears among students.

A Balinese language teacher, Desak Nyoman Agung Wulan Rosmithasari, supported the program of Denpasar municipality to combat the fear of speaking Balinese.

COVER STORY

Balinese...

From page 1

Certainly the practice is very simple in which students can use the language pursuant to their capabilities and even combined with Indonesian. “Most importantly, speaking Balinese is carried out and it is better than nothing,” he said.

Balinese language teachers

Some observers said that Balinese-speaking day should be preceded by paying attention to the suffering fate of Balinese language teachers. In addition to competing against other teachers in obtaining Balinese language teaching hours, they have not been recruited as civil servant.

Every promotion of civil servant prospect for teachers, for instance, it does not touch the Balinese language teachers. In fact, they are spearheading for the preservation and transfer of science on Balinese literature.

A Balinese cultural observer, Dr. Nengah Arnawa, keeps on inflam-

ing so that the government of Bali, district government and municipal government take a breakthrough to recruit Balinese language teachers in their respective region. It is necessary because in the recruitment of civil servant, Balinese language teacher Bali is virtually never included.

Since Balinese language is very specific, Nengah Arnawa also belonging to the drafting team of Indonesian language book for Curriculum 2013 said that it should become the obligation for governments in the region either in the form of contract teachers or local employees financed through regional budget.

He said that all this time the teaching of Balinese language, especially at elementary school, is no man’s land. It is taught by teachers of Hinduism. In the meantime, in the rule of certification the excess of teaching hours for Hinduism teachers should not be filled with Balinese language. Thus, as long as there is no recruitment he believed that Balinese language at elementary school will be unfilled.

If handed over to the classroom teachers, he said, it is impossible as it has different method.

Rector of the PGRI Bali Teachers’ Training College, Dr. I Made Suarta, also defended desperately the fate of Balinese language teachers that is seemingly required by the government. Even though currently there is recruitment of Balinese language companion distributed to every village, it does not answer the real challenge.

He also revealed that the key to learn Balinese culture lies in the mastery of Balinese literature. All kinds of knowledge on Balinese aspects can be expressed through Balinese literature. So, he would like to create the professionalism of Balinese language teacher that should be taught by teachers in the study. In reality, the subject of Balinese language and ballet is taught by a teacher having expertise in it.

He wanted that every district recruits Balinese language teacher. There is a good opportunity in Badung that will recruit 300 Balinese language teachers through contract teachers. He

agreed whatever the program is, the most important is that Bali-

Balinese-speaking day in Badung looks awkward and hesitant

ASIDE from the municipal government of Denpasar, the use of Balinese language in certain occasion is also carried out in Badung. Balinese-speaking day (dina mabasa Bali) is applied every Friday and every full moon. Moreover, Balinese language is also used in the plenary session at the Badung House of Representatives.

Various dialects of Balinese emerge in the plenary session of the ranks of the people’s representatives of Badung. Understandably the session previously using the national language (Indonesian) is now actually using Balinese language.

Thus, it sounds like a meeting in village hall looking awkward and hesitant.

Chairman of the commissions presented their work with members by using Balinese language. Their speech looked still a slightly awk-

ward. A number of legislators and staff often smiled while attending the Balinese-speaking session.

Chairman of the Badung House of Representatives, I Putu Parwata, said that the use of Balinese language in the session of the Badung parliament is in line with the Balinese-speaking day proclaimed by the regent and deputy regent of Badung. “Speaking Balinese is scheduled on Fridays and every full moon. So, we in the parliament start the Balinese-speaking day,”

he said.

Although the atmosphere at the meeting using Balinese language is slightly different and less flexible, without hesitancy this PDI-P politician of Badung has appealed to use Balinese language every meeting on Friday and full moon.

“Once or twice may be somewhat different, later it will become accustomed. Moreover, the purpose is very positive, lest we all cannot speak Balinese. Balinese language is our mother tongue. So, everyone shall know the native language,” he said.

The use of Balinese language in Badung has been confirmed by the issuance of the Badung Regent Regulation No. 24/2016 concerning the use of Balinese language in the environment of the government of Badung. This regulation was established in Mangupura on March 4 and entered into force on March 9, 2016 coinciding with the celebration of the Caka New Year 1938.

Deputy Regent of Badung, I Ketut Suiasa, said that in the effort to establish the identity and respect for the values of local wisdom, the government of Badung is commit-

ted to cultivating Balinese language at schools and entire ranks of the government of Badung.

The regulation mentions that the use of Balinese language is to keep and preserve Balinese language as local language belongs to the cultural wealth of the nation. Thus, it becomes an important factor for the affirmation of regional identity.

The use of Balinese language in the government of Badung environment every Friday and full moon related to official meetings / gatherings, oral conversations and direct conversation, organization of government and social events.

The use of the Balinese language is excluded in terms of the implementation of assembly at district, provincial and national level involving the elements of inter-provincial and institutions / agencies of central government level and the reading of the letters of public administration and product of legislation. The use of Balinese language should always pay attention to the rules of language and uphold the ethics and hospitality. (kmb27)

Bali Safari & Marine Park remains tireless in its continuing efforts to encourage children to love and preserve the earth’s natural environment. Most recently, this commitment by the Park was expressed by inviting orphans from the Benih Kasih Orphanage in Bali’s far north to join a daylong celebration dedicated to the love of flora and fauna. “Love our Flora and Fauna Day” was held on Saturday, November 5, 2016, with the Park’s Educational Team preparing a day filled with encounters with the natural environment including some of the wildlife that share this planet with mankind.

Among the activities hosted for the visiting children from the Benih Kasih Orphanage was the chance to join a motorized Safari Journey that carried them on slow moving, secure vehicles traveling through three large open compounds that are

the homes to the animals of Africa, India and Indonesia. Later, the kids joined the audiences at a number of animal encounter programs, including the “Predator to Prey” tiger show and the Elephant Educational Show.

The Park then shared the concept of recycling via a tour of the jungle “Safari Pool Paper” factory where elephant droppings are turned into useable paper products. The was followed with a lesson that animals need not necessarily be feared as the children shouted in glee when they were set loose in the Park’s Petting Zoo and given the chance to assist in the grooming of a pony.

The day of childhood fantasy continued with the children given free access to the wide range of amusement park rides found in the Park’s FunZone.

William Santoso, general manager of the Bali Safari & Marine Park, commented on the visit

saying: “’Love of Fauna and Flora Day’ is a day that we are obliged to celebrate each year in order to remind us all of the need to conserve and protect Indonesia’s plant and animal kingdoms. This year, we have taken the opportunity to invite children from a Bali orphanage, embracing them as members of our Park family in the hope they will grow into adults concerned with the natural environment.”

National Love of Fauna and Flora Day (Hari Cinta Puspa dan Satwa Nasional) has been celebrated every November 5th since 1992.

According to Tony Sumampau, chairman of the the National Love of Fauna and Flora Day committee, the various activities organized on this date serve to raise public consciousness and enhance love for plants and wildlife in order to create a greener Indonesia.

Road damaged along five kilometers

Farmers at Kayupadi forced to sell crops cheaply

Trump effigy feels the heat on UK bonfire night

LONDON - He turned “You’re fired” into his reality show catchphrase, but it was Donald Trump who went up in flames on Saturday - or at least an effigy of him did, as part of Britain’s annual Bonfire Night celebrations.

An 11-metre-high (36 feet) model of the Republican U.S. presidential candidate was burned at a fireworks display in the town

of Edenbridge, 30 miles (50 km) south of London.

The sculpture showed Trump, complete with his trademark mop of hair, holding his Democratic rival for the White House, Hilary Clinton, in a headlock, and sporting a pair of Mexico-themed boxer shorts.

“I think he would be quietly amused,” artist Frank Shepherd

said of his muse.

Britain celebrates the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 by letting off fireworks and lighting bonfires with an effigy of the “Gunpowder Plot” leader Guy Fawkes on top.

The celebrations in Edenbridge also feature effigies of unpopular celebrities and in the past have included former FIFA president

Sepp Blatter, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Other contenders for this year’s choice included Philip Green, the billionaire former owner of failed retail chain BHS who is under pressure to resolve the firm’s pension problems, and Sam

BANGLI - Farmers at Kayupadi B hamlet, Songan, Kintamani, are forced to sell their crops at low price. This happens because the condition of road infrastructure at their local hamlet has experienced severe damage since recent years.

Hamlet Chief of Kayupadi B, Komang Berata, revealed that road damage at local hamlet occurred approximately along five kilometers. Severe damage starts from the border of Pinggan village. He also said that so far there are some roads already hardened with crushed river stone in 2011 but never paved. “Some paved roads cannot be passed well now due to breakage and never gets maintenance,” he explained.

Berata said that the damaged road at his village all this time has caused farmers to sell their crops at low price. For example, chili normally sold for IDR 10,000 is now forced to be sold for IDR 9,000-IDR 9,500 per kilogram. Likewise, if local residents behind the hill in need of something, they must be willing to buy at higher price when compared to other places.

“For example, fertilizer usually sold in the market for IDR 9,000 per kilogram, at Kayupadi is sold to farmers at IDR 10,000,” he explained.

Seeing such condition and on behalf of his residents, he very much hoped that the damaged road at local hamlet could be fixed by the government. By doing so, the road will no longer make farmers lose money.

“We hope the road at our village can be repaired,” he added.

In the meantime, a legislator of the Bangli House of Representatives from Songan village, Gelgel Wisnawa, also hoped the government to prioritize repair for the road. Due to the current damage, farmers all this time cannot sell their produce at normal prices. (kmb40)

To manage Sarbagita waste, investor approaches Badung

The officer is putting the garbage into the truck in Ketapian market, Denpasar.

MANGUPURA - Waste management in the region of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Tabanan (Sarbagita) lately constrained by management problem drew the interest of investor.

The investor known as PT Bali Waste Energy has made an approach to the Sarbagita authorities and made a presentation.

The damage road inKayupadi Village, Songan, Kintamani

Deputy Regent of Badung, I Ketut Suiasa, confirmed the existence of a third party intending to manage waste in the Sarbagita region. Moreover, the investor already presented the handling and processing of waste through waste plant entitled From Waste to Energy for Bali region in general and Sarbagita government in particular at the Badung civic center.

“I welcome the presentation related to the waste handling by PT Bali Waste Energy. So far, the waste problem indeed has not been handled properly,” said Suiasa.

According to him, it is necessary to take measures for the waste handling. This can be carried out through the touch of technologies for waste management and the need for cooperation with third parties.

From the presentation, Marshal would like to build a waste plant at the Suwung landfill.

“This presentation has given us a description that there is an innovation and technological breakthrough, so that the waste handling in the future can be more efficient, effective and productive,” he said.

In the meantime, Vice President of PT Bali Waste Energy, Manegkei Marshal, said that his presence in Bali is based on non-optimal waste management, especially at the Suwung landfill by the Sarbagita government. “We want to help Bali thoroughly and Sarbagita in particular, so that Bali is clean of trash,” he explained.

To establish this waste plant, his company requires some agreements with the related local government.

He has made communication with Sarbagita government for a site inspection to waste plants in Germany and the Netherlands.

“The waste plant will be capable of producing a wide range of energies ranging from electric energy, bio coal, steam, CO2 certification and compost,” he said. In the area of the waste plant will also be established a housing for scavengers where the raw materials are obtained from the waste plant.

As is known, the non-optimal management of the regional landfill of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, Tabanan (Sarbagita) at Suwung Denpasar happened due to negligence by PT Noei as the operator designated by the Sarbagita government seriously affecting the amount of waste. On that account, the government of Badung seeks to build a medium-sized independent landfill for subdistrict and the smaller scale for village in the amended regional budget 2016 and main regional budget 2017.

Cangi Gates, a Unique Heritage of Gianyar Gianyar district has a historic locus in the form of Cangi gates. It is located at Cangi hamlet, Batuan Kaler, Sukawati, Gianyar. From Denpasar, it is about 20 kilometers that can be reached through the Denpasar – Gianyar road section.

Having arrived at the baby statue of Sakah village (three-way intersection of Blahbatuh- Sukawati-Mas) passing a small bridge, visitor will find a T-junction where there is a signpost carrying Dusun Cangi (Cangi hamlet) on the right side.

After stepping around 300 meters from the main road, visitor will meet a banyan tree with dense leaves in front of a large temple.

Cangi Gates, a Unique Heritage of Gianyar_1 Well, it is the Desa Ganggangan Cangi Temple denoting an archaeological site of Cangi Gates. Now, the Desa and Puseh Temple of Cangi becomes a cultural heritage spreading across the area of ??one hectare.

This temple is also equipped with a chamber used to store sand stone statues as well as bale agung and bale pegat pavilion.

To get to the Cangi Gates, visitors can enter through the west side of the bale agung pavilion. These gates have something to do with the development of Buddhism in Bali as found at Gunung Kawi Temple, Tampaksiring. In front of the gates, there are two old statues of animals estimated to have a very old age.

After that, go to the north side in the form of statue shrine. In this building, there are hundreds of archaeological objects in the form of Kacogatan Dangupadhyaya Sudar and dozens of sandstone statues.

They are in form of Lord Shiva, Ganesha, the elephant and other animals. Similarly, the building extending to the east is a place to store archaeological objects.

Cangi hamlet actually belongs to an old village. In the past, the

village area was a jungle as well as mountainous area in the north end of Sukawati. Majority of local villagers are working in the agricultural and trading sector. It is said that this location was a sanctuary of clergy. As evidence, a number of relics are found in the Cangi area in the form of ancient objects.

This temple is supported by residents of four hamlets namely the Cangi, Sakah, Blahtanah, and Dauma. These residents are fully responsible for various development activities and rituals performed once every six months, falling on Buda Cemeng Langkir or four days after Kuningan.

Cangi Temple has three levels of ceremony. The smallest scale is called pakoleman, and next six months is held the babangkit offerings. Six months later is held the nyatur ritual. In order to facilitate the organization of ceremony, the customary village is divided into two sub-groups (tempek) adjusted to the number of inhabitants.

Chief of Cangi customary village, I Ketut Supat, said that around the 2000s the ancient site was often visited by foreign travelers but today is very rarely visited. Other than historical heritage, Cangi village is also famous for its handicraft, painting and other art products. “Activities of the craftsmen also become a tourist attraction, other than ancient heritages,” said Supat.

On that account, added Supat, in the future his apparatus with local leaders will arrange the village into a tourism village. Other than supported by tourist attractions, there has been accommodation like villas at the village. “In the future, we will make a trekking path and biking trails, so that travelers can enjoy cool atmosphere of the countryside and the existing tourist attractions,” concluded Supat.

The Picking Coffee Dance

Wish to have a mascot, Pupuan introduces ‘picking coffee’ dance

TABANAN- Just like the Kerambitan subdistrict, Pupuan subdistrict as the center of coffee production in Tabanan also wants to have a characteristic in terms of the art. Local people now would like to introduce to general public the ‘Picking Coffee’ creation dance.

The creation dance composed by the Rector of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar, Prof. Dr. I Gede Arya Sugiarta, who happens to originate from Pupuan, was inspired by the activities of coffee farmers.

Moreover, this dance has been introduced to the regent of Tabanan amid the cultural and folk festival parade in Pupuan recently.

Subdistrict head of Pupuan, I Putu Arya Suta, said the dance will be made into the mascot of Pupuan subdistrict. Moreover, the subdistrict has been quite famous for the commodity of Robusta coffee.

“We beg some inputs from the regent, all invitees, community leaders and art figures. We’d like to make

this dance into a mascot of Pupuan subdistrict,” said Arya Suta to the invitees, such as Chairman of the Tabanan House of Representatives I Ketut Suryadi, Tabanan legislators like I Gede Purnawan and I Gusti Nyoman Omardani, Regional Secretary of Tabanan I Nyoman Wirna Ariwangsa, agency heads of Tabanan, headmen and chief of customary village throughout Pupuan.

The plan to make the Picking Coffee dance into the mascot of Pupuan, he added, aims to provide the identity of the subdistrict in terms of the art. “So, this identity can become the pride of our community,” he added.

ing the Picking Coffee dance into the mascot of Pupuan subdistrict, Regent Eka admitted in her speech that she was very supportive and gave a positive appreciation. “The idea of the subdistrict head is really nice. Besides, I’d also like to encourage the other subdistricts to do the same thing,” she said.

Moreover, she continued, the format of anniversary celebration of Tabanan town next year will remain to be deployed in each subdistrict. Thus, the existence of mascot dance could be performed next year.

“As the name of the people’s party implies, it will be more appropriate and better when it can be enjoyed directly by the people.

Bung Karno once reminds that having personality in culture becomes a nation’s capital and it is the prideful characteristic of the nation,” she affirmed. (kmb28)

Tens of thousands of South Koreans demonstrated at a rally on Saturday evening in central Seoul demanding that Park resign over the scandal involving an old frend, Choi Soon-sil, who is alleged to have used her closeness to the president to meddle in state affairs.

Park’s approval rating has fallen to just 5 percent, the lowest since such polling began in 1988, according to a Gallup Korea survey released on Friday.

The Seoul Central District Court said in a statement that it granted a warrant to prosecutors to arrest An Chong-bum, a former senior advisor for Park, who faces charges of abuse of power and attempted extortion. An was already in custody under an emergency detention order.

Prosecutors are looking into allegations that An and Choi forced South Korean conglomerates to donate funds to nonprofit foundations.

The court said it also issued an arrest warrant for a second former presidential aide, Jeong Ho-seong, who also had already been held in temporary custody.

Prosecutors apprehended Jeong late on Thursday on suspicion of leaking classified information.

An and Jeong both stepped down late last month amid the deepening crisis.

In a televised address on Friday an apologetic Park said her “heart was breaking” over the scandal, pledging to cooperate with prosecutors in their investigation.

Choi’s lawyer has said he expects prosecutors to look into whether she inappropriately received classified documents.

To enjoy Arca valley, villagers make bamboo platform

BANGLI - Lately the residents of Bangli district constantly try to explore the potential of nature tourism at their respective village.

One of them is Yangapi village in Tembuku that starts trying to attract visitors to the natural panorama of the Arca valley at local village. In order that Arca valley can be seen well, residents make a bamboo platform.

According to some residents, the bamboo platform has been made

since last month. So far, there are enough people visiting to enjoy the beauty of natural scenery at the Arca valley from the platform.

Most of those visitors come to simply take pictures with the background of the valley.

A student from Metra Yangapi hamlet recognized that the landscape seen from the bamboo platform is quite beautiful. He also admitted to intentionally come just for taking photographs.

“The scenery is quite exotic,” he said.

All this time, the platform is managed by local customary youth club. One of the members, Edi Saputra, said the bamboo platform has the height of approximately five meters. There have been many visitors since it was first introduced a month ago. However, so far they are mostly consisting of local people. “Many visitors come to take pictures,” he said. (kmb40)

Some of the 21 Chibok schoolgirls released by Boko Haram look on during their visit to meet President Muhammadu Buhari In Abuja, Nigeria October 19, 2016.

LAGOS - One of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by jihadist group Boko Haram from their school in northeast Nigeria’s Chibok in 2014 has been found by soldiers, a Nigerian army spokesman said on Saturday, weeks after the militants released 21 of the girls.

Around 270 girls were kidnapped in April 2014 by the Islamist militant group, which has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than two million during a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in north-east Nigeria.

Dozens escaped in the initial melee, but more than 200 remained missing for more than two years.

Sani Usman said the girl, Maryam Ali Maiyanga, was discovered by troops who were screening escapees from Boko Haram’s base in the Sambisa forest on Saturday morning in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area, in Borno State.

“She was discovered to be carrying a

10-month-old son, named Ali. She has been taken to the unit’s medical facility for (a) proper medical check up,” said Usman.

Bring Back Our Girls, a group of campaigners with close ties to relatives of those abducted, said “preliminary investigations” showed the girl was number 198 on its register of the kidnapped girls.

In a statement, the campaign group said she was from Askira Uba, a district of Borno state, and was abducted along with her twin who is yet to return.

Last month, 21 of the girls were released

by Boko Haram following talks with the government brokered by the International Red Cross and the Swiss government. The government has vowed to rescue the girls still being held.

The first of the schoolgirls to be found was discovered by soldiers on the edge of the Sambisa forest, a former colonial game reserve in Borno state about 100 km (60 miles) from the village of Chibok, in May. (rtr)

BERLIN - German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel called for a resumption of long-stalled efforts to negotiate a global free trade accord on Saturday, warning that a proliferation of bilateral trade deals could lead to varying standards and rules.

competition and subsidised steel exports from China that could crowd out the competitive and ecologically sound European steel industry.”

The European Union last month imposed provisional import duties on two types of Chinese steel, the latest in a series of trade defences set up to curb subsidised steel exports that EU officials say have resulted in job losses and plant closures.

The German minister said resistance to free trade agreements such as the one signed last week by the European Union and Canada was largely due to insufficient communication by governments about the benefits of such accords and the failure to include citizens and societal groups.

Activists in the Netherlands have gathered almost two thirds of the signatures needed to lay the groundwork for a referendum on the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which they say overly favours the interests of multinational companies. (rtr)

UK PM May seeks to boost trade ties with India before Brexit LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May will use her first bilateral trade trip since taking office to try to boost ties with India before leaving the European Union.

May’s office said the visit starting on Sunday night would focus on breaking down barriers to trade and investment and paving the way for a free trade deal as soon as possible after Brexit, which is not expected to happen before 2019.

Explaining the choice of India, a government official said: “It matters now more than ever. India is the fastest-growing major economy.”

May said the trip was about seizing the opportunities of Brexit and “expanding our horizons and forging stronger partnerships with countries around the world”.

“This is a partnership about our shared security and shared prosperity. It is a partnership of potential.

deals with third countries until it is outside the EU, the government is keen to hold preparatory discussions.

May, accompanied by trade ministers Liam Fox and Greg Hands and around 40 business representatives mainly from smalland medium-sized technology and healthcare firms, will address a technology summit, have a working lunch with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and meet businesses.

Among representatives of larger firms joining her on the trip are David McMillan, CEO of insurer Aviva, Ivan Menezes, the CEO of drinks firm Diageo and the chairman of Asia-focused bank Standard Chartered, John Peace.

May will visit New Delhi and outsourcing hub Bengaluru before leaving on Tuesday. Her office said commercial deals to be signed dur-

ing the trip were expected to create a total of 1,370 jobs in the UK. One potential area of difficulty is her plan to curb the annual level of net migration to under 100,000 from its rate of more than three times that. India is keen for Britain to welcome more of its students and skilled workers.

“We want to attract the brightest and the best while also doing more to control migration,” the official said. “When we get to ... looking at these bilateral deals we are confident that we will be able to do strong and ambitious deals.”

May and Modi will also launch a partnership on smart cities and urban development which could generate business worth up to 2 billion pounds for British firms over the next five years, her office said.

Britain will press India to allow its law firms to operate there, and will also offer its government ex-

pertise in areas such as deregulation and tax to help make India a more attractive business environment.

The official declined to say whether May would specifically raise with Modi the issue of Tata Steel Ltd, which put its British steel operations up for sale earlier this year but suspended it in July due to uncertainty over the Brexit vote.

The government has not given away much detail about its Brexit plans, with May only saying it wants the best deal to “trade with and operate within” the EU’s single market.

Some have suggested that if the UK stays in the EU’s customs union it will not be able to strike trade deals with third countries such as India, but the British official disputed this.

“Turkey is in the customs union but has trade agreements with third countries,” the official said. (rtr)

“The best thing would be an agreement under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO),” Gabriel said during a business conference in Hong Kong.

“We should restart discussions in the WTO even as we are negotiating comprehensive bilateral agreements,” he said, before heading back to Germany.

In the absence of a global trade agreement, Gabriel said it was important that bilateral trade deals also include social, climate and consumer standards, beyond simply reducing tariffs.

“Ten people are being questioned as alleged provocateurs on Medan Merdeka Barat Street,” Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar, head of public relations division of Indonesia Police, said at a press conference here on Saturday.

The suspects aged between 16 and 31 years old have been confirmed to have come from various regions outside the city in Java as well as West Nusa Tenggara.

Boy said the police has also arrested 15 people for looting a mini-market in Luar Batang, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, by utilizing the benefit of momentum of the demonstration.

“We find that their actions were purely criminal. Certainly, there

must be the mastermind that had mobilized them. Their motive certainly was not demonstration but going to the jail,” he said.

The people, who are residents of the fishing neighborhoods in Muara Baru, have been confirmed as not being part of Islamic organizations that conducted the demonstration at Monas (National Monument) and Merdeka Palace. They have spontaneously been motivated to commit the crime after seeing rioting in Monas and Merdeka Palace through the media. Boy said their legal status will be determined within 24 hours.

Hundreds of thousands of people from various Islamic organizations staged a demonstration peacefully on Friday, but some refused

to disperse after the deadline for the demonstration ended at 6pm, and after an agreement had been reached between the government and representatives of the demonstrators.

These people attacked the police by pelting stones and pieces of wood and also burned their cars.

The police responded by firing teargas in an effort to disperse them.

The demonstrators demanded acceleration of the police investigation to determine the legal status of Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, or Ahok as he is called, with regard to the blasphemous remark he had allegedly made at a meeting with people in Kepulauan Seribu, North Jakarta, recently.

Ahok, who is contesting for the Jakarta gubernatorial election in February next year, had offered an apology for the remark, while the police have also already starting questioning witnesses. (ant)

KUPANG - Head of the East Nusa Tenggara provincial Agriculture and Plantation Service Yohanes Tay Ruba said the province would continue the program of opening of new rice fields in 2017.

“Currently we are conducting rationalization and preparation of the program for the opening of new rice fields to be implemented in 2017,” Yohanes said here on Saturday.

He said implementation of the program this year could not be carried out as expected over delay in the disbursement of General Allocation Fund (DAU) from the central government.

Until now 1,960 hectares of new rice field had been opened or falling short of the target of 2,709 hectares for this year, he said.

Around 224.22 hectares of the new rice fields have been ready for cultivation, he added.

“We hope the rest could be carried out with work starting early next year, that farmers could increase their rice production,” he said.

Yohanes delay in the implementation of the program was recorded in a number of areas including in the regencies of Kupang, Sumba Timur, and Flores such as regencies of Ende and Manggarai Barat.

The regency of Ende was to have Rp11,538,089,786 in the delayed DAU each month from September to December.

Kupangs delayed share of the DAU in the same periods was Rp25,466,413,828; and the regency of Sumba Timur was to have Rp11,532,251,253 and the regency of Manggarai Barat was to receive a disbursement of Rp18,071,885,782 each month during the four months period. (ant)

Security hustles Trump from stage after protester displays sign

RENO - Republican Donald Trump was rushed off stage by security agents at a rally in Reno, Nevada, on Saturday night after a false alarm as someone in the crowd shouted “gun” during scuffles with a man who held up a ‘Republicans against Trump’ sign.

The incident occurred as Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton crisscrossed the United States a late push to win over undecided voters and make sure supporters turn out enthusiastically on Election Day. Two security agents seized Trump by the shoulders and hustled him backstage as police officers swarmed over a man in the front of the crowd and held him down and searched him before escorting him away with his hands behind his back.

Trump, seemingly unruffled, returned to the stage and continued his speech after a short time, saying “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us” and adding “We will never be stopped.”

After being released, the man

who was apprehended told CBS News Reno affiliate KTVN-2 that he was a Republican supporter who attended the rally to express his opposition to Trump.

“I came here with this sign expecting boos ... But it was just a sign,” Austyn Crites said.

Crites said when he took it out, the crowd began to attack him, choking and beating him before “someone yelled about a gun.”

After being held for a few hours’ questioning and security and background checks, Crites said he was released, and that the police “did their job.”

Crites said he wanted to contrast President Barack Obama’s reaction to a protestor during a rally a few days ago, in which he urged the

International

crowd to respect the protester, with Trump’s, saying he wanted “people to understand” the difference.

“I have nothing against Trump supporters,” Crites told the station.

“We are all registered Republicans and support many of the same candidates for local offices. I have serious concern against Trump,” he added.

The Secret Service confirmed that the incident erupted when an unidentified individual in front of the stage shouted “gun.”

“Secret Service agents and Reno Police Officers immediately apprehended the subject. Upon a thorough search of the subject and the surrounding area, no weapon was found,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

The incident began when Trump noticed what he considered a heckler. Seconds later people near the stage began pointing at someone in the crowd near the front, and agents took Trump away. (rtr)

Parliament must accept Brexit vote was legitimate -UK PM May

LONDON - Parliament must accept that Britain’s vote to leave the European Union was legitimate and let the government get on with delivering Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday.

May has said she is confident of overturning a British court ruling that the government needs parliamentary approval to start the process of leaving the EU. The government, which has given little away about its plans for Britain’s future relationship with the EU, has said that having to set out a detailed negotiating strategy to parliament would put it at a disadvantage in talks with the bloc.

“While others seek to tie our negotiating hands, the government will get on with the job of delivering the decision of the British people,” May said in a statement ahead of her first trade trip to India on Sunday.

“It was MPs (members of parliament) who overwhelmingly decided to put the decision in their hands. The result was clear. It was legitimate.

MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided.”

May will use her first bilateral trade

trip since taking office to try to boost ties with India before Britain leaves the EU and to pave the way for a free trade deal as soon as possible once Brexit is completed.

Parliament could in theory block Brexit as most members supported staying in the EU in June’s referendum, although it is unlikely to do so.

The ruling could allow lawmakers to temper the government’s approach, however, making a “hard Brexit” - where tight controls on immigration are prioritised over remaining in the European single market - less likely.

A government appeal against the High Court ruling is expected to be considered by Britain’s Supreme Court early next month. May has said she still plans to launch talks on the terms of Brexit by the end of March.

“We need to turn our minds to how we get the best outcome for our country,” she said.

“That means sticking to our plan and timetable, getting on with the work of developing our negotiating strategy and not putting all our cards on the table - that is not in our national interest and it won’t help us get the best deal for Britain.” (rtr)

The triple grand slam winner, who will take over from Serb Novak Djokovic at the top when the rankings are updated on Monday, still went out on centre court for a practice session in front of a bemused crowd.

“I never thought I’d be No. 1 in the world and never, never imagined that was something that was going to happen,” Murray told a news conference.

Fourth seeded Canadian Raonic explained his injury.

“Yesterday at I believe 4-2 in the first set I started feeling some pain in my leg,” he said, referring to his match against Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

“I didn’t think too much of it

at that point. I had an MRI half an hour ago...they found that I have a grade one tear in the right quadriceps.”

Raonic is now doubtful for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to be held in London from Nov. 13-20.

“I still have the possibility of making it but I was told five to 10 days so I’m on the borderline,” he said.

Murray is the first Briton to get to number one and, at 29 years and 174 days, he will be the oldest player to reach the summit for the first time since Australian John Newcombe in 1974.

Djokovic, number one for 122 weeks since July 2014, was

knocked out in the quarter-finals by ninth seed Marin Cilic on Friday.

Croat Cilic lost 6-4 6-3 to American John Isner in the semi-finals on Saturday.

Isner broke in the ninth game of the first set and served three aces in a row as he saved a break point in the second to down Cilic, who appeared to lack focus a day after eliminating Djokovic.

Isner became the player to serve the most aces this year - 1,133 - as he claimed his first victory over Cilic in seven matches.

“I took the court today with a lot of confidence. It’s the first time all year coming into a match I’d won four matches in a row,” Isner told a news conference.

“So I knew I was playing well. I knew I was playing the right way, and really, from the get-go, I was serving extremely well. That took a lot of pressure off me. (rtr)

LAS VEGAS - Manny Pacquiao put on a dazzling display in his return to the ring after a brief retirement, scoring a unanimous decision over champion Jessie Vargas to claim the WBO welterweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Despite giving away 10 years to his opponent, the 37-year-old Pacquiao fought with more intensity and energy, and dominated the American in the final rounds to close out an emphatic victory.

The judges scored the bout 114113, 118-109 and 118-109 in favour of Pacquiao, the only fighter to hold titles in eight divisions, with the Filipino improving to 59-6-2, while Vargas fell to 27-2.

It was a master class taught by the first sitting Senator to win a world boxing championship as Pacquiao temporarily left the ring to win election in the Philippines and serve in office before making a return to what he called his “passion”.

Pacquiao, whose last previous bout was a unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley in April, showed quickly that he had not lost his skills, knocking Vargas down in the second round with a straight left to the champion’s

face.

Vargas battled back and landed his dangerous right several times but Pacquiao withstood the punishment and by the end of the bout, the American’s face was swollen on one side and he had a cut over his right eyebrow.

The Filipino southpaw piled up the points in the later rounds by peppering the title holder with stiff right jabs that set up his quick, punishing left hook.

“I feel happy,” said Pacquiao, whose only regret was in not recording his first knockout victory since 2009. “I feel like I could do more but my aim in every round is not to knock him out.

“Thanks to all my fans! Thanks to all the Filipino people!” he added in the ringside interview.

Among the spectators at the Thomas & Mack Center were the currently retired Floyd Mayweather and light-welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Pacquiao lost the richest bout ever to Mayweather last May. “Next? I’m going back to the Philippines to work in the Senate,” Pacquiao said about his immediate plans before being asked about Mayweather or Crawford. (rtr)

Sp rt Hamsik scores again but Napoli draws 1-1 against Lazio

MILAN — In Marek Hamsik, Napoli may have its latest successor to club great Diego Maradona. However, his goal on Saturday didn’t help Napoli move up the Serie A table in a 1-1 draw at home with Lazio. Napoli has won just two of its past eight matches.

But Hamsik, who broke Maradona’s Napoli record of 81 Serie A goals in September, moved a step closer to matching the Argentine’s club record of 115 in all competitions. In his 10th season at the club, Hamsik is 12 off the mark set by Maradona, who led Napoli to its only two league titles in 1987 and 1990.

“I’m happy, 103 goals is a good

achievement, but tonight I would have preferred to be celebrating with the three points,” Hamsik said.

“We deserved to win. We were better, we created a lot but we didn’t manage to finish off all our chances. ... But the team is doing well, we’re entertaining, we never give up. We’re not rewarded for everything we create on the pitch

but we hope that in the future it will turn out better for us.”

There were plenty of chances in an entertaining first half at Stadio San Paolo but no goals, and it needed a moment of brilliance to break the deadlock. Hamsik provided it seven minutes after the interval, bursting into the area and confusing the Lazio defenders with some nimble footwork before firing across into the bottom right corner.

But its lead lasted just 87 seconds before Keita Balde Diao leveled with a fierce, low shot which squirmed under Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who should have done better.

It was Keita’s fourth goal, as many as he scored last season in 31 appearances. Napoli remained fifth, a point behind Lazio and AC Milan, which visits Palermo on Sunday.

Serie A leader Juventus travels to Chievo Verona, and is six points ahead of Napoli and four above second-place Roma, which hosts Bologna.

The teams were level on points in mid-table before Andrea Belotti launched Torino less than two minutes in. A swerving strike from Adem Ljajic in the 11th minute and a powerful shot from Marco Benassi across into the top left corner gave Torino a commanding lead.

Federico Melchiorri pulled one back for Cagliari before halftime with a downward header.

Torino scored again six minutes after the break when Belotti’s volley was saved by Marco Storari but Llajic collected the rebound and pulled the ball back to Baselli, who blasted it in.

Minutes later, Panagiotis Tachtsidis tripped Belotti just inside the area. Cagliari midfielder Daniele Dessena was sent off for dissent, and Belotti converted the resulting penalty.

Torino, which was coming off a three-match winless run, moved up to sixth, two points behind Napoli.

Cagliari remained ninth. (ap)

Bottom-place Sunderland wins first match of EPL season

BOURNEMOUTH — Victor Anichebe inspired bottom-place Sunderland to its first success in the English Premier League at the 11th attempt, scoring the opener and winning a penalty to beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Saturday.

Anichebe, whose only notable contribution this season had been a Twitter gaffe after the recent defeat at West Ham, was handed a first league start by under-pressure manager David Moyes.

And the striker responded with his first goal in 18 months, to cancel out Dan Gosling’s opener, before winning the penalty that Jermain

Defoe dispatched.

The win was all the more remarkable given Sunderland’s Steven Pienaar was sent off with half an hour to go for a challenge on Junior Stanislas.

“It is only one win. We need two, we need to just keep picking up the points,” Moyes said. “Hopefully it will show people there is a great spirit and commitment among the players and desire to do well.

“We went to a factory this week, showing the players it is much better to be a footballer than working in a factory.”

Last month, Anichebe took

to Twitter to issue a rallying cry to Sunderland’s fans during the team’s difficult spell. However, embarrassingly, he appeared to simply copy and paste a tweet that he was told to write by a club official, saying: “Can you tweet something like ‘Unbelievable support yesterday and great effort by the lads! Hard result to take! But we go again!’”

Anichebe deleted the tweet, but not before it was spread. “Victor Anichebe was terrific today,” Moyes said. “He has an awful lot going for him and his all-round performance was terrific.”(ap)

Youngest Bundesliga coach frustrates Bayern with Hoffenheim

BERLIN — The youngest coach in the Bundesliga is showing the others how it’s done. Julian Nagelsmann, who is only 29, led Hoffenheim to a 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich on Saturday, matching his side’s club-record unbeaten run and staying within four points of the league leader.

“We’re going there to be successful,” Nagelsmann declared bullishly before the trip to Munich, though he also needed some luck with both Mats Hummels and Thomas Mueller hitting the post late for a tired-looking Bayern.

“In the end it was lucky we didn’t concede a goal,” Nagelsmann said. Nagelsmann, Hoffenheim’s former under-19s coach, has revolutionized the side since taking over the senior squad when it was second from bottom in February.

Thanks to tactical nous and clever player-management, he saved the side from relegation and has gone on to just five defeats in 24 league games.

Now Hoffenheim is third after staying unbeaten for 10 games.

Kerem Demirbay fired the visitors ahead early with a brilliant strike to the top left corner from Nadiem Amiri’s cross. Kevin Vogt started the move by cutting through Bayern’s midfield with a fine pass.

Bayern had chances through Rafinha and Thiago Alcantara but Hoffenheim appeared untroubled until Steven Zuber deflected Douglas Costa’s cross through his own goalkeeper’s legs in the 34th.

“He wanted to save it. (Robert) Lewandowski would have put it over the line if he didn’t go for it,” Nagelsmann said of the own goal.

Bayern improved after the break but lacked the finishing touch.

Carlo Ancelotti brought on Mueller and Kingsley Coman to freshen up his attack. Mueller and Hummels came agonizingly close to scoring the winner, only to be denied by the post. Germany forward Mueller is still chasing his first league goal of the season. (ap)

Ex-Arsenal striker gives FC Seoul dramatic title

SEOUL — Ex-Arsenal striker Park Chu-young gave FC Seoul a 1-0 win at the home of South Korean title rivals Jeonbuk Motors on Sunday to clinch the title on the final day of the K-League season.

With the teams locked on points before kick-off, Seoul, who had scored less goals over the season, had to win.

Park, who played just seven minutes in the English Premier

League for Arsenal from 2008 to 2011, scored in the second half.

Jeonbuk, going for a third successive title, had been 14 points clear with six games remaining but was docked nine points in September after a club scout was convicted of bribing referees in 2013.

Sp rt Hamsik scores again but Napoli draws 1-1 against Lazio

MILAN — In Marek Hamsik, Napoli may have its latest successor to club great Diego Maradona. However, his goal on Saturday didn’t help Napoli move up the Serie A table in a 1-1 draw at home with Lazio. Napoli has won just two of its past eight matches.

But Hamsik, who broke Maradona’s Napoli record of 81 Serie A goals in September, moved a step closer to matching the Argentine’s club record of 115 in all competitions. In his 10th season at the club, Hamsik is 12 off the mark set by Maradona, who led Napoli to its only two league titles in 1987 and 1990.

“I’m happy, 103 goals is a good

achievement, but tonight I would have preferred to be celebrating with the three points,” Hamsik said.

“We deserved to win. We were better, we created a lot but we didn’t manage to finish off all our chances. ... But the team is doing well, we’re entertaining, we never give up. We’re not rewarded for everything we create on the pitch

but we hope that in the future it will turn out better for us.”

There were plenty of chances in an entertaining first half at Stadio San Paolo but no goals, and it needed a moment of brilliance to break the deadlock. Hamsik provided it seven minutes after the interval, bursting into the area and confusing the Lazio defenders with some nimble footwork before firing across into the bottom right corner.

But its lead lasted just 87 seconds before Keita Balde Diao leveled with a fierce, low shot which squirmed under Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who should have done better.

It was Keita’s fourth goal, as many as he scored last season in 31 appearances. Napoli remained fifth, a point behind Lazio and AC Milan, which visits Palermo on Sunday.

Serie A leader Juventus travels to Chievo Verona, and is six points ahead of Napoli and four above second-place Roma, which hosts Bologna.

The triple grand slam winner, who will take over from Serb Novak Djokovic at the top when the rankings are updated on Monday, still went out on centre court for a practice session in front of a bemused crowd.

“I never thought I’d be No. 1 in the world and never, never imagined that was something that was going to happen,” Murray told a news conference.

Fourth seeded Canadian Raonic explained his injury.

“Yesterday at I believe 4-2 in the first set I started feeling some pain in my leg,” he said, referring to his match against Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

“I didn’t think too much of it

at that point. I had an MRI half an hour ago...they found that I have a grade one tear in the right quadriceps.”

Raonic is now doubtful for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to be held in London from Nov. 13-20.

“I still have the possibility of making it but I was told five to 10 days so I’m on the borderline,” he said.

Murray is the first Briton to get to number one and, at 29 years and 174 days, he will be the oldest player to reach the summit for the first time since Australian John Newcombe in 1974.

Djokovic, number one for 122 weeks since July 2014, was

knocked out in the quarter-finals by ninth seed Marin Cilic on Friday.

Croat Cilic lost 6-4 6-3 to American John Isner in the semi-finals on Saturday.

Isner broke in the ninth game of the first set and served three aces in a row as he saved a break point in the second to down Cilic, who appeared to lack focus a day after eliminating Djokovic.

Isner became the player to serve the most aces this year - 1,133 - as he claimed his first victory over Cilic in seven matches.

“I took the court today with a lot of confidence. It’s the first time all year coming into a match I’d won four matches in a row,” Isner told a news conference.

“So I knew I was playing well. I knew I was playing the right way, and really, from the get-go, I was serving extremely well. That took a lot of pressure off me. (rtr)

LAS VEGAS - Manny Pacquiao put on a dazzling display in his return to the ring after a brief retirement, scoring a unanimous decision over champion Jessie Vargas to claim the WBO welterweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Despite giving away 10 years to his opponent, the 37-year-old Pacquiao fought with more intensity and energy, and dominated the American in the final rounds to close out an emphatic victory.

The judges scored the bout 114113, 118-109 and 118-109 in favour of Pacquiao, the only fighter to hold titles in eight divisions, with the Filipino improving to 59-6-2, while Vargas fell to 27-2.

It was a master class taught by the first sitting Senator to win a world boxing championship as Pacquiao temporarily left the ring to win election in the Philippines and serve in office before making a return to what he called his “passion”.

Pacquiao, whose last previous bout was a unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley in April, showed quickly that he had not lost his skills, knocking Vargas down in the second round with a straight left to the champion’s

face.

Vargas battled back and landed his dangerous right several times but Pacquiao withstood the punishment and by the end of the bout, the American’s face was swollen on one side and he had a cut over his right eyebrow.

The Filipino southpaw piled up the points in the later rounds by peppering the title holder with stiff right jabs that set up his quick, punishing left hook.

“I feel happy,” said Pacquiao, whose only regret was in not recording his first knockout victory since 2009. “I feel like I could do more but my aim in every round is not to knock him out.

“Thanks to all my fans! Thanks to all the Filipino people!” he added in the ringside interview.

Among the spectators at the Thomas & Mack Center were the currently retired Floyd Mayweather and light-welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Pacquiao lost the richest bout ever to Mayweather last May. “Next? I’m going back to the Philippines to work in the Senate,” Pacquiao said about his immediate plans before being asked about Mayweather or Crawford. (rtr)

Security hustles Trump from stage after protester displays sign

RENO - Republican Donald Trump was rushed off stage by security agents at a rally in Reno, Nevada, on Saturday night after a false alarm as someone in the crowd shouted “gun” during scuffles with a man who held up a ‘Republicans against Trump’ sign.

The incident occurred as Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton crisscrossed the United States a late push to win over undecided voters and make sure supporters turn out enthusiastically on Election Day. Two security agents seized Trump by the shoulders and hustled him backstage as police officers swarmed over a man in the front of the crowd and held him down and searched him before escorting him away with his hands behind his back.

Trump, seemingly unruffled, returned to the stage and continued his speech after a short time, saying “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us” and adding “We will never be stopped.”

After being released, the man

who was apprehended told CBS News Reno affiliate KTVN-2 that he was a Republican supporter who attended the rally to express his opposition to Trump.

“I came here with this sign expecting boos ... But it was just a sign,” Austyn Crites said.

Crites said when he took it out, the crowd began to attack him, choking and beating him before “someone yelled about a gun.”

After being held for a few hours’ questioning and security and background checks, Crites said he was released, and that the police “did their job.”

Crites said he wanted to contrast President Barack Obama’s reaction to a protestor during a rally a few days ago, in which he urged the

International

crowd to respect the protester, with Trump’s, saying he wanted “people to understand” the difference.

“I have nothing against Trump supporters,” Crites told the station.

“We are all registered Republicans and support many of the same candidates for local offices. I have serious concern against Trump,” he added.

The Secret Service confirmed that the incident erupted when an unidentified individual in front of the stage shouted “gun.”

“Secret Service agents and Reno Police Officers immediately apprehended the subject. Upon a thorough search of the subject and the surrounding area, no weapon was found,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

The incident began when Trump noticed what he considered a heckler. Seconds later people near the stage began pointing at someone in the crowd near the front, and agents took Trump away. (rtr)

Parliament must accept Brexit vote was legitimate -UK PM May

LONDON - Parliament must accept that Britain’s vote to leave the European Union was legitimate and let the government get on with delivering Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday.

May has said she is confident of overturning a British court ruling that the government needs parliamentary approval to start the process of leaving the EU. The government, which has given little away about its plans for Britain’s future relationship with the EU, has said that having to set out a detailed negotiating strategy to parliament would put it at a disadvantage in talks with the bloc.

“While others seek to tie our negotiating hands, the government will get on with the job of delivering the decision of the British people,” May said in a statement ahead of her first trade trip to India on Sunday.

“It was MPs (members of parliament) who overwhelmingly decided to put the decision in their hands. The result was clear. It was legitimate.

MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided.”

May will use her first bilateral trade

trip since taking office to try to boost ties with India before Britain leaves the EU and to pave the way for a free trade deal as soon as possible once Brexit is completed.

Parliament could in theory block Brexit as most members supported staying in the EU in June’s referendum, although it is unlikely to do so.

The ruling could allow lawmakers to temper the government’s approach, however, making a “hard Brexit” - where tight controls on immigration are prioritised over remaining in the European single market - less likely.

A government appeal against the High Court ruling is expected to be considered by Britain’s Supreme Court early next month. May has said she still plans to launch talks on the terms of Brexit by the end of March.

“We need to turn our minds to how we get the best outcome for our country,” she said.

“That means sticking to our plan and timetable, getting on with the work of developing our negotiating strategy and not putting all our cards on the table - that is not in our national interest and it won’t help us get the best deal for Britain.” (rtr)

BERLIN - German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel called for a resumption of long-stalled efforts to negotiate a global free trade accord on Saturday, warning that a proliferation of bilateral trade deals could lead to varying standards and rules.

competition and subsidised steel exports from China that could crowd out the competitive and ecologically sound European steel industry.”

The European Union last month imposed provisional import duties on two types of Chinese steel, the latest in a series of trade defences set up to curb subsidised steel exports that EU officials say have resulted in job losses and plant closures.

The German minister said resistance to free trade agreements such as the one signed last week by the European Union and Canada was largely due to insufficient communication by governments about the benefits of such accords and the failure to include citizens and societal groups.

Activists in the Netherlands have gathered almost two thirds of the signatures needed to lay the groundwork for a referendum on the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which they say overly favours the interests of multinational companies. (rtr)

UK PM May seeks to boost trade ties with India before Brexit LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May will use her first bilateral trade trip since taking office to try to boost ties with India before leaving the European Union.

May’s office said the visit starting on Sunday night would focus on breaking down barriers to trade and investment and paving the way for a free trade deal as soon as possible after Brexit, which is not expected to happen before 2019.

Explaining the choice of India, a government official said: “It matters now more than ever. India is the fastest-growing major economy.”

May said the trip was about seizing the opportunities of Brexit and “expanding our horizons and forging stronger partnerships with countries around the world”.

“This is a partnership about our shared security and shared prosperity. It is a partnership of potential.

deals with third countries until it is outside the EU, the government is keen to hold preparatory discussions.

May, accompanied by trade ministers Liam Fox and Greg Hands and around 40 business representatives mainly from smalland medium-sized technology and healthcare firms, will address a technology summit, have a working lunch with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and meet businesses.

Among representatives of larger firms joining her on the trip are David McMillan, CEO of insurer Aviva, Ivan Menezes, the CEO of drinks firm Diageo and the chairman of Asia-focused bank Standard Chartered, John Peace.

May will visit New Delhi and outsourcing hub Bengaluru before leaving on Tuesday. Her office said commercial deals to be signed dur-

ing the trip were expected to create a total of 1,370 jobs in the UK. One potential area of difficulty is her plan to curb the annual level of net migration to under 100,000 from its rate of more than three times that. India is keen for Britain to welcome more of its students and skilled workers.

“We want to attract the brightest and the best while also doing more to control migration,” the official said. “When we get to ... looking at these bilateral deals we are confident that we will be able to do strong and ambitious deals.”

May and Modi will also launch a partnership on smart cities and urban development which could generate business worth up to 2 billion pounds for British firms over the next five years, her office said.

Britain will press India to allow its law firms to operate there, and will also offer its government ex-

pertise in areas such as deregulation and tax to help make India a more attractive business environment.

The official declined to say whether May would specifically raise with Modi the issue of Tata Steel Ltd, which put its British steel operations up for sale earlier this year but suspended it in July due to uncertainty over the Brexit vote.

The government has not given away much detail about its Brexit plans, with May only saying it wants the best deal to “trade with and operate within” the EU’s single market.

Some have suggested that if the UK stays in the EU’s customs union it will not be able to strike trade deals with third countries such as India, but the British official disputed this.

“Turkey is in the customs union but has trade agreements with third countries,” the official said. (rtr)

“The best thing would be an agreement under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO),” Gabriel said during a business conference in Hong Kong.

“We should restart discussions in the WTO even as we are negotiating comprehensive bilateral agreements,” he said, before heading back to Germany.

In the absence of a global trade agreement, Gabriel said it was important that bilateral trade deals also include social, climate and consumer standards, beyond simply reducing tariffs.

“Ten people are being questioned as alleged provocateurs on Medan Merdeka Barat Street,” Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar, head of public relations division of Indonesia Police, said at a press conference here on Saturday.

The suspects aged between 16 and 31 years old have been confirmed to have come from various regions outside the city in Java as well as West Nusa Tenggara.

Boy said the police has also arrested 15 people for looting a mini-market in Luar Batang, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, by utilizing the benefit of momentum of the demonstration.

“We find that their actions were purely criminal. Certainly, there

must be the mastermind that had mobilized them. Their motive certainly was not demonstration but going to the jail,” he said.

The people, who are residents of the fishing neighborhoods in Muara Baru, have been confirmed as not being part of Islamic organizations that conducted the demonstration at Monas (National Monument) and Merdeka Palace. They have spontaneously been motivated to commit the crime after seeing rioting in Monas and Merdeka Palace through the media. Boy said their legal status will be determined within 24 hours.

Hundreds of thousands of people from various Islamic organizations staged a demonstration peacefully on Friday, but some refused

to disperse after the deadline for the demonstration ended at 6pm, and after an agreement had been reached between the government and representatives of the demonstrators.

These people attacked the police by pelting stones and pieces of wood and also burned their cars.

The police responded by firing teargas in an effort to disperse them.

The demonstrators demanded acceleration of the police investigation to determine the legal status of Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, or Ahok as he is called, with regard to the blasphemous remark he had allegedly made at a meeting with people in Kepulauan Seribu, North Jakarta, recently.

Ahok, who is contesting for the Jakarta gubernatorial election in February next year, had offered an apology for the remark, while the police have also already starting questioning witnesses. (ant)

KUPANG - Head of the East Nusa Tenggara provincial Agriculture and Plantation Service Yohanes Tay Ruba said the province would continue the program of opening of new rice fields in 2017.

“Currently we are conducting rationalization and preparation of the program for the opening of new rice fields to be implemented in 2017,” Yohanes said here on Saturday.

He said implementation of the program this year could not be carried out as expected over delay in the disbursement of General Allocation Fund (DAU) from the central government.

Until now 1,960 hectares of new rice field had been opened or falling short of the target of 2,709 hectares for this year, he said.

Around 224.22 hectares of the new rice fields have been ready for cultivation, he added.

“We hope the rest could be carried out with work starting early next year, that farmers could increase their rice production,” he said.

Yohanes delay in the implementation of the program was recorded in a number of areas including in the regencies of Kupang, Sumba Timur, and Flores such as regencies of Ende and Manggarai Barat.

The regency of Ende was to have Rp11,538,089,786 in the delayed DAU each month from September to December.

Kupangs delayed share of the DAU in the same periods was Rp25,466,413,828; and the regency of Sumba Timur was to have Rp11,532,251,253 and the regency of Manggarai Barat was to receive a disbursement of Rp18,071,885,782 each month during the four months period. (ant)

Cangi Gates, a Unique Heritage of Gianyar Gianyar district has a historic locus in the form of Cangi gates. It is located at Cangi hamlet, Batuan Kaler, Sukawati, Gianyar. From Denpasar, it is about 20 kilometers that can be reached through the Denpasar – Gianyar road section.

Having arrived at the baby statue of Sakah village (three-way intersection of Blahbatuh- Sukawati-Mas) passing a small bridge, visitor will find a T-junction where there is a signpost carrying Dusun Cangi (Cangi hamlet) on the right side.

After stepping around 300 meters from the main road, visitor will meet a banyan tree with dense leaves in front of a large temple.

Cangi Gates, a Unique Heritage of Gianyar_1 Well, it is the Desa Ganggangan Cangi Temple denoting an archaeological site of Cangi Gates. Now, the Desa and Puseh Temple of Cangi becomes a cultural heritage spreading across the area of ??one hectare.

This temple is also equipped with a chamber used to store sand stone statues as well as bale agung and bale pegat pavilion.

To get to the Cangi Gates, visitors can enter through the west side of the bale agung pavilion. These gates have something to do with the development of Buddhism in Bali as found at Gunung Kawi Temple, Tampaksiring. In front of the gates, there are two old statues of animals estimated to have a very old age.

After that, go to the north side in the form of statue shrine. In this building, there are hundreds of archaeological objects in the form of Kacogatan Dangupadhyaya Sudar and dozens of sandstone statues.

They are in form of Lord Shiva, Ganesha, the elephant and other animals. Similarly, the building extending to the east is a place to store archaeological objects.

Cangi hamlet actually belongs to an old village. In the past, the

village area was a jungle as well as mountainous area in the north end of Sukawati. Majority of local villagers are working in the agricultural and trading sector. It is said that this location was a sanctuary of clergy. As evidence, a number of relics are found in the Cangi area in the form of ancient objects.

This temple is supported by residents of four hamlets namely the Cangi, Sakah, Blahtanah, and Dauma. These residents are fully responsible for various development activities and rituals performed once every six months, falling on Buda Cemeng Langkir or four days after Kuningan.

Cangi Temple has three levels of ceremony. The smallest scale is called pakoleman, and next six months is held the babangkit offerings. Six months later is held the nyatur ritual. In order to facilitate the organization of ceremony, the customary village is divided into two sub-groups (tempek) adjusted to the number of inhabitants.

Chief of Cangi customary village, I Ketut Supat, said that around the 2000s the ancient site was often visited by foreign travelers but today is very rarely visited. Other than historical heritage, Cangi village is also famous for its handicraft, painting and other art products. “Activities of the craftsmen also become a tourist attraction, other than ancient heritages,” said Supat.

On that account, added Supat, in the future his apparatus with local leaders will arrange the village into a tourism village. Other than supported by tourist attractions, there has been accommodation like villas at the village. “In the future, we will make a trekking path and biking trails, so that travelers can enjoy cool atmosphere of the countryside and the existing tourist attractions,” concluded Supat.

The Picking Coffee Dance

Wish to have a mascot, Pupuan introduces ‘picking coffee’ dance

TABANAN- Just like the Kerambitan subdistrict, Pupuan subdistrict as the center of coffee production in Tabanan also wants to have a characteristic in terms of the art. Local people now would like to introduce to general public the ‘Picking Coffee’ creation dance.

The creation dance composed by the Rector of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar, Prof. Dr. I Gede Arya Sugiarta, who happens to originate from Pupuan, was inspired by the activities of coffee farmers.

Moreover, this dance has been introduced to the regent of Tabanan amid the cultural and folk festival parade in Pupuan recently.

Subdistrict head of Pupuan, I Putu Arya Suta, said the dance will be made into the mascot of Pupuan subdistrict. Moreover, the subdistrict has been quite famous for the commodity of Robusta coffee.

“We beg some inputs from the regent, all invitees, community leaders and art figures. We’d like to make

this dance into a mascot of Pupuan subdistrict,” said Arya Suta to the invitees, such as Chairman of the Tabanan House of Representatives I Ketut Suryadi, Tabanan legislators like I Gede Purnawan and I Gusti Nyoman Omardani, Regional Secretary of Tabanan I Nyoman Wirna Ariwangsa, agency heads of Tabanan, headmen and chief of customary village throughout Pupuan.

The plan to make the Picking Coffee dance into the mascot of Pupuan, he added, aims to provide the identity of the subdistrict in terms of the art. “So, this identity can become the pride of our community,” he added.

Responding to the plan of mak-

ing the Picking Coffee dance into the mascot of Pupuan subdistrict, Regent Eka admitted in her speech that she was very supportive and gave a positive appreciation. “The idea of the subdistrict head is really nice. Besides, I’d also like to encourage the other subdistricts to do the same thing,” she said.

Moreover, she continued, the format of anniversary celebration of Tabanan town next year will remain to be deployed in each subdistrict. Thus, the existence of mascot dance could be performed next year.

“As the name of the people’s party implies, it will be more appropriate and better when it can be enjoyed directly by the people.

Bung Karno once reminds that having personality in culture becomes a nation’s capital and it is the prideful characteristic of the nation,” she affirmed. (kmb28)

Tens of thousands of South Koreans demonstrated at a rally on Saturday evening in central Seoul demanding that Park resign over the scandal involving an old frend, Choi Soon-sil, who is alleged to have used her closeness to the president to meddle in state affairs.

Park’s approval rating has fallen to just 5 percent, the lowest since such polling began in 1988, according to a Gallup Korea survey released on Friday.

The Seoul Central District Court said in a statement that it granted a warrant to prosecutors to arrest An Chong-bum, a former senior advisor for Park, who faces charges of abuse of power and attempted extortion. An was already in custody under an emergency detention order.

Prosecutors are looking into allegations that An and Choi forced South Korean conglomerates to donate funds to nonprofit foundations.

The court said it also issued an arrest warrant for a second former presidential aide, Jeong Ho-seong, who also had already been held in temporary custody.

Prosecutors apprehended Jeong late on Thursday on suspicion of leaking classified information.

An and Jeong both stepped down late last month amid the deepening crisis.

In a televised address on Friday an apologetic Park said her “heart was breaking” over the scandal, pledging to cooperate with prosecutors in their investigation.

Choi’s lawyer has said he expects prosecutors to look into whether she inappropriately received classified documents.

Choi told South Korea’s Segye Ilbo newspaper last month that she received drafts of Park’s speeches after Park’s elecREUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji tion victory but denied she had access to other official mate- South Korean President Park Geun-hye delivers her speech on the 2017 budget bill during a plenary rial, influenced state affairs or benefited financially.

To enjoy Arca valley, villagers make bamboo platform

BANGLI - Lately the residents of Bangli district constantly try to explore the potential of nature tourism at their respective village.

One of them is Yangapi village in Tembuku that starts trying to attract visitors to the natural panorama of the Arca valley at local village. In order that Arca valley can be seen well, residents make a bamboo platform.

According to some residents, the bamboo platform has been made

since last month. So far, there are enough people visiting to enjoy the beauty of natural scenery at the Arca valley from the platform.

Most of those visitors come to simply take pictures with the background of the valley.

A student from Metra Yangapi hamlet recognized that the landscape seen from the bamboo platform is quite beautiful. He also admitted to intentionally come just for taking photographs.

“The scenery is quite exotic,” he said.

All this time, the platform is managed by local customary youth club. One of the members, Edi Saputra, said the bamboo platform has the height of approximately five meters. There have been many visitors since it was first introduced a month ago. However, so far they are mostly consisting of local people. “Many visitors come to take pictures,” he said. (kmb40)

Some of the 21 Chibok schoolgirls released by Boko Haram look on during their visit to meet President Muhammadu Buhari In Abuja, Nigeria October 19, 2016.

LAGOS - One of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by jihadist group Boko Haram from their school in northeast Nigeria’s Chibok in 2014 has been found by soldiers, a Nigerian army spokesman said on Saturday, weeks after the militants released 21 of the girls.

Around 270 girls were kidnapped in April 2014 by the Islamist militant group, which has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than two million during a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in north-east Nigeria.

Dozens escaped in the initial melee, but more than 200 remained missing for more than two years.

Sani Usman said the girl, Maryam Ali Maiyanga, was discovered by troops who were screening escapees from Boko Haram’s base in the Sambisa forest on Saturday morning in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area, in Borno State.

“She was discovered to be carrying a

10-month-old son, named Ali. She has been taken to the unit’s medical facility for (a) proper medical check up,” said Usman.

Bring Back Our Girls, a group of campaigners with close ties to relatives of those abducted, said “preliminary investigations” showed the girl was number 198 on its register of the kidnapped girls.

In a statement, the campaign group said she was from Askira Uba, a district of Borno state, and was abducted along with her twin who is yet to return.

Last month, 21 of the girls were released

by Boko Haram following talks with the government brokered by the International Red Cross and the Swiss government. The government has vowed to rescue the girls still being held.

The first of the schoolgirls to be found was discovered by soldiers on the edge of the Sambisa forest, a former colonial game reserve in Borno state about 100 km (60 miles) from the village of Chibok, in May. (rtr)

Road damaged along five kilometers

Farmers at Kayupadi forced to sell crops cheaply

Trump effigy feels the heat on UK bonfire night

LONDON - He turned “You’re fired” into his reality show catchphrase, but it was Donald Trump who went up in flames on Saturday - or at least an effigy of him did, as part of Britain’s annual Bonfire Night celebrations.

An 11-metre-high (36 feet) model of the Republican U.S. presidential candidate was burned at a fireworks display in the town

of Edenbridge, 30 miles (50 km) south of London.

The sculpture showed Trump, complete with his trademark mop of hair, holding his Democratic rival for the White House, Hilary Clinton, in a headlock, and sporting a pair of Mexico-themed boxer shorts.

“I think he would be quietly amused,” artist Frank Shepherd

said of his muse.

Britain celebrates the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 by letting off fireworks and lighting bonfires with an effigy of the “Gunpowder Plot” leader Guy Fawkes on top.

The celebrations in Edenbridge also feature effigies of unpopular celebrities and in the past have included former FIFA president

Sepp Blatter, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Other contenders for this year’s choice included Philip Green, the billionaire former owner of failed retail chain BHS who is under pressure to resolve the firm’s pension problems, and Sam

BANGLI - Farmers at Kayupadi B hamlet, Songan, Kintamani, are forced to sell their crops at low price. This happens because the condition of road infrastructure at their local hamlet has experienced severe damage since recent years.

Hamlet Chief of Kayupadi B, Komang Berata, revealed that road damage at local hamlet occurred approximately along five kilometers. Severe damage starts from the border of Pinggan village. He also said that so far there are some roads already hardened with crushed river stone in 2011 but never paved. “Some paved roads cannot be passed well now due to breakage and never gets maintenance,” he explained.

Berata said that the damaged road at his village all this time has caused farmers to sell their crops at low price. For example, chili normally sold for IDR 10,000 is now forced to be sold for IDR 9,000-IDR 9,500 per kilogram. Likewise, if local residents behind the hill in need of something, they must be willing to buy at higher price when compared to other places.

“For example, fertilizer usually sold in the market for IDR 9,000 per kilogram, at Kayupadi is sold to farmers at IDR 10,000,” he explained.

Seeing such condition and on behalf of his residents, he very much hoped that the damaged road at local hamlet could be fixed by the government. By doing so, the road will no longer make farmers lose money.

“We hope the road at our village can be repaired,” he added.

In the meantime, a legislator of the Bangli House of Representatives from Songan village, Gelgel Wisnawa, also hoped the government to prioritize repair for the road. Due to the current damage, farmers all this time cannot sell their produce at normal prices. (kmb40)

To manage Sarbagita waste, investor approaches Badung

The officer is putting the garbage into the truck in Ketapian market, Denpasar.

MANGUPURA - Waste management in the region of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Tabanan (Sarbagita) lately constrained by management problem drew the interest of investor.

The investor known as PT Bali Waste Energy has made an approach to the Sarbagita authorities and made a presentation.

The damage road inKayupadi Village, Songan, Kintamani

Deputy Regent of Badung, I Ketut Suiasa, confirmed the existence of a third party intending to manage waste in the Sarbagita region. Moreover, the investor already presented the handling and processing of waste through waste plant entitled From Waste to Energy for Bali region in general and Sarbagita government in particular at the Badung civic center.

“I welcome the presentation related to the waste handling by PT Bali Waste Energy. So far, the waste problem indeed has not been handled properly,” said Suiasa.

According to him, it is necessary to take measures for the waste handling. This can be carried out through the touch of technologies for waste management and the need for cooperation with third parties.

From the presentation, Marshal would like to build a waste plant at the Suwung landfill.

“This presentation has given us a description that there is an innovation and technological breakthrough, so that the waste handling in the future can be more efficient, effective and productive,” he said.

In the meantime, Vice President of PT Bali Waste Energy, Manegkei Marshal, said that his presence in Bali is based on non-optimal waste management, especially at the Suwung landfill by the Sarbagita government. “We want to help Bali thoroughly and Sarbagita in particular, so that Bali is clean of trash,” he explained.

To establish this waste plant, his company requires some agreements with the related local government.

He has made communication with Sarbagita government for a site inspection to waste plants in Germany and the Netherlands.

“The waste plant will be capable of producing a wide range of energies ranging from electric energy, bio coal, steam, CO2 certification and compost,” he said. In the area of the waste plant will also be established a housing for scavengers where the raw materials are obtained from the waste plant.

As is known, the non-optimal management of the regional landfill of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, Tabanan (Sarbagita) at Suwung Denpasar happened due to negligence by PT Noei as the operator designated by the Sarbagita government seriously affecting the amount of waste. On that account, the government of Badung seeks to build a medium-sized independent landfill for subdistrict and the smaller scale for village in the amended regional budget 2016 and main regional budget 2017.

COVER STORY

Balinese...

From page 1

Certainly the practice is very simple in which students can use the language pursuant to their capabilities and even combined with Indonesian. “Most importantly, speaking Balinese is carried out and it is better than nothing,” he said.

Balinese language teachers

Some observers said that Balinese-speaking day should be preceded by paying attention to the suffering fate of Balinese language teachers. In addition to competing against other teachers in obtaining Balinese language teaching hours, they have not been recruited as civil servant.

Every promotion of civil servant prospect for teachers, for instance, it does not touch the Balinese language teachers. In fact, they are spearheading for the preservation and transfer of science on Balinese literature.

A Balinese cultural observer, Dr. Nengah Arnawa, keeps on inflam-

ing so that the government of Bali, district government and municipal government take a breakthrough to recruit Balinese language teachers in their respective region. It is necessary because in the recruitment of civil servant, Balinese language teacher Bali is virtually never included.

Since Balinese language is very specific, Nengah Arnawa also belonging to the drafting team of Indonesian language book for Curriculum 2013 said that it should become the obligation for governments in the region either in the form of contract teachers or local employees financed through regional budget.

He said that all this time the teaching of Balinese language, especially at elementary school, is no man’s land. It is taught by teachers of Hinduism. In the meantime, in the rule of certification the excess of teaching hours for Hinduism teachers should not be filled with Balinese language. Thus, as long as there is no recruitment he believed that Balinese language at elementary school will be unfilled.

If handed over to the classroom teachers, he said, it is impossible as it has different method.

Rector of the PGRI Bali Teachers’ Training College, Dr. I Made Suarta, also defended desperately the fate of Balinese language teachers that is seemingly required by the government. Even though currently there is recruitment of Balinese language companion distributed to every village, it does not answer the real challenge.

He also revealed that the key to learn Balinese culture lies in the mastery of Balinese literature. All kinds of knowledge on Balinese aspects can be expressed through Balinese literature. So, he would like to create the professionalism of Balinese language teacher that should be taught by teachers in the study. In reality, the subject of Balinese language and ballet is taught by a teacher having expertise in it.

He wanted that every district recruits Balinese language teacher. There is a good opportunity in Badung that will recruit 300 Balinese language teachers through contract teachers. He

agreed whatever the program is, the most important is that Bali-

Balinese-speaking day in Badung looks awkward and hesitant

ASIDE from the municipal government of Denpasar, the use of Balinese language in certain occasion is also carried out in Badung. Balinese-speaking day (dina mabasa Bali) is applied every Friday and every full moon. Moreover, Balinese language is also used in the plenary session at the Badung House of Representatives.

Various dialects of Balinese emerge in the plenary session of the ranks of the people’s representatives of Badung. Understandably the session previously using the national language (Indonesian) is now actually using Balinese language.

Thus, it sounds like a meeting in village hall looking awkward and hesitant.

Chairman of the commissions presented their work with members by using Balinese language. Their speech looked still a slightly awk-

ward. A number of legislators and staff often smiled while attending the Balinese-speaking session.

Chairman of the Badung House of Representatives, I Putu Parwata, said that the use of Balinese language in the session of the Badung parliament is in line with the Balinese-speaking day proclaimed by the regent and deputy regent of Badung. “Speaking Balinese is scheduled on Fridays and every full moon. So, we in the parliament start the Balinese-speaking day,”

he said.

Although the atmosphere at the meeting using Balinese language is slightly different and less flexible, without hesitancy this PDI-P politician of Badung has appealed to use Balinese language every meeting on Friday and full moon.

“Once or twice may be somewhat different, later it will become accustomed. Moreover, the purpose is very positive, lest we all cannot speak Balinese. Balinese language is our mother tongue. So, everyone shall know the native language,” he said.

The use of Balinese language in Badung has been confirmed by the issuance of the Badung Regent Regulation No. 24/2016 concerning the use of Balinese language in the environment of the government of Badung. This regulation was established in Mangupura on March 4 and entered into force on March 9, 2016 coinciding with the celebration of the Caka New Year 1938.

Deputy Regent of Badung, I Ketut Suiasa, said that in the effort to establish the identity and respect for the values of local wisdom, the government of Badung is commit-

ted to cultivating Balinese language at schools and entire ranks of the government of Badung.

The regulation mentions that the use of Balinese language is to keep and preserve Balinese language as local language belongs to the cultural wealth of the nation. Thus, it becomes an important factor for the affirmation of regional identity.

The use of Balinese language in the government of Badung environment every Friday and full moon related to official meetings / gatherings, oral conversations and direct conversation, organization of government and social events.

The use of the Balinese language is excluded in terms of the implementation of assembly at district, provincial and national level involving the elements of inter-provincial and institutions / agencies of central government level and the reading of the letters of public administration and product of legislation. The use of Balinese language should always pay attention to the rules of language and uphold the ethics and hospitality. (kmb27)

Bali Safari & Marine Park remains tireless in its continuing efforts to encourage children to love and preserve the earth’s natural environment. Most recently, this commitment by the Park was expressed by inviting orphans from the Benih Kasih Orphanage in Bali’s far north to join a daylong celebration dedicated to the love of flora and fauna. “Love our Flora and Fauna Day” was held on Saturday, November 5, 2016, with the Park’s Educational Team preparing a day filled with encounters with the natural environment including some of the wildlife that share this planet with mankind.

Among the activities hosted for the visiting children from the Benih Kasih Orphanage was the chance to join a motorized Safari Journey that carried them on slow moving, secure vehicles traveling through three large open compounds that are

the homes to the animals of Africa, India and Indonesia. Later, the kids joined the audiences at a number of animal encounter programs, including the “Predator to Prey” tiger show and the Elephant Educational Show.

The Park then shared the concept of recycling via a tour of the jungle “Safari Pool Paper” factory where elephant droppings are turned into useable paper products. The was followed with a lesson that animals need not necessarily be feared as the children shouted in glee when they were set loose in the Park’s Petting Zoo and given the chance to assist in the grooming of a pony.

The day of childhood fantasy continued with the children given free access to the wide range of amusement park rides found in the Park’s FunZone.

William Santoso, general manager of the Bali Safari & Marine Park, commented on the visit

saying: “’Love of Fauna and Flora Day’ is a day that we are obliged to celebrate each year in order to remind us all of the need to conserve and protect Indonesia’s plant and animal kingdoms. This year, we have taken the opportunity to invite children from a Bali orphanage, embracing them as members of our Park family in the hope they will grow into adults concerned with the natural environment.”

National Love of Fauna and Flora Day (Hari Cinta Puspa dan Satwa Nasional) has been celebrated every November 5th since 1992.

According to Tony Sumampau, chairman of the the National Love of Fauna and Flora Day committee, the various activities organized on this date serve to raise public consciousness and enhance love for plants and wildlife in order to create a greener Indonesia.

Ay Caramba! ‘The Simpsons’ to break record as longest-running U.S. show

LOS ANGELES - The Simpsons have traveled the world, saved Springfield from annihilation and even stepped into virtual reality, but the beloved animated family is entering new ground as it heads toward a record-breaking 30th season.

“The Simpsons” has been renewed for two more seasons running until 2019, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc’s Fox Broadcasting said on Friday, meaning it will break the record for most episodes of any scripted television show in U.S. history.

“The Simpsons” is currently in its 28th season, with just over 600 episodes aired. By 2019, it will have outpaced western TV drama “Gun-

smoke,” which concluded after 635 episodes in 1975.

“Take that ‘Gunsmoke!’You lost a race you didn’t even know you were running!,” Homer Simpson said in a statement from Fox. Since its 1989 premiere, “The Simpsons” - bumbling patriarch Homer, long-suffering wife Marge, prankster Bart, prodigy Lisa and baby Maggie - have become globally

recognized figures.

The show, which has won 32 Emmy awards and was nominated for an Oscar in the animated short category in 2012, often playfully and poignantly satirizes American culture. Homer’s catchphrase “D’oh” and Bart’s “Ay Caramba” are part of the zeitgeist and the fictional family from Springfield even have a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

The show is syndicated in more than 100 countries and is already the longest-running sitcom and primetime scripted series in U.S. history. (rtr)

Muslim protesters chant slogans near burning police trucks during a clash outside the presidential palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, Friday, Nov. 4, 2016.

The first ethnic Chinese politician to lead this sprawling city of 10 million, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama is standing for re-election in February, competing with two Muslims for the job.

The governorship of the capital is a powerful position and it was a stepping stone for Joko Widodo to the presidency of the country two years ago.

At a news conference held in the early hours of Saturday, Widodo called for calm and took a swipe at politicians - whom he didn’t name - for whipping up die-hard demonstrators after most had already gone home. “ ... we deplore the incident after the Isha prayers, when should have already disbanded but became violent. And, we see this was steered by political actors who were exploiting the situation,” Widodo said.

Police fired tear gas and water cannon to subdue a restive crowd that police said swelled to about 150,000 after Friday prayers as they congregated around the presidential palace.

Some protesters threw rocks at the police, two vehicles were torched and a fire broke out near the city’s National Monument, but by the evening the demonstration was fizzling out.

However, in a northern neighbourhood of the city there was a late-night clash between police and a few dozen protesters, and social media reports showed a convenience store being looted. And hundreds camped out until around 4 a.m. beside the parliament building to demand Purnama be charged for

blasphemy.

A police spokesman said one person died and 12 were hurt. Local media said about 23 people were arrested, most of them in the north, where overnight police guarded shopping and residential areas that are home to predominantly nonMuslims.

About a dozen Muslim groups have accused Purnama of insulting Islam after he jokingly said his opponents had used a verse from the Koran to deceive voters. The verse implies that Muslims should not choose non-Muslims as leaders.

Chanting “God is greatest”, many in Friday’s protest waved placards calling for Purnama, popularly known as Ahok, to be jailed for blasphemy. A white banner hung at an overpass was painted with red letters that read “Hang Ahok here”.

Police are investigating the case against Purnama, who has apologised for his remarks, insisting he was not criticising the Koranic verse but those who used it to attack him. Purnama has a reputation as a no-nonsense reformer with little patience for the corruption widely blamed for the chaos and dilapidated infrastructure of an overcrowded city.

Balinese-speaking day and fate of Balinese language teachers

C U R R E N T LY the Balinesespeaking day is intensified in Denpasar and Badung.

Probably this will be followed by other districts in Bali.

In the city of Denpasar, it is done every Wednesday, full moon and new moon. This program is positive

to support smart city as long as it is followed by commitment of the municipal government to recruit Balinese language teachers.

Balinese-speaking day program has actually been done earlier in the environment of the PGRI schools in Denpasar on Fridays while English on Saturdays. Chairman of the YPLP PGRI Denpasar, I Nengah Madiadnyana, said the program has been running since the

past 6-8 years. Now, it just needs to be strengthened and adjusted to the program of the Denpasar municipality.

In the meantime, Principal of the SMAN 3 Denpasar high school, I Ketut Suyastra, reminded that the Balinese-speaking day program on Wednesday, full moon and new moon should not be imposed on all fronts, including at schools must be done in stages. He worried, when

required, it may cause the students hating Balinese language not to go to school.

At schools, this is adequately applied to programs outside school hours, but if it is required to be applied in classroom learning, he is sure that it can cause problems.

Classroom learning activities for English and Indonesian language are still being done by Indonesian and English, may not be replaced

with Balinese language. So, he reminded that if imposed, it may give rise to new fears among students.

A Balinese language teacher, Desak Nyoman Agung Wulan Rosmithasari, supported the program of Denpasar municipality to combat the fear of speaking Balinese.
