The British-American musician said the award was particularly fitting because he went to school nearby, and spent his formative years on Hollywood Boulevard dreaming of becoming a rock star like Led Zeppelin. “This is a really special acknowledgement... it’s the coolest thing you could ever get,” he said as hundreds of fans gathered for the ceremony outside Hard Rock Cafe, just along from the world-famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. “I’m such a part of this scenery. I went to school here, and started playing guitar here, literally 100 yards down the street... I got a very technicolor education up here,” added the guitarist, who was born in London. Sheen, who has had his own battles with drugs and alcohol over the years, joked that the first time he met the guitarist, “I was so excited I called him ‘Smash.’” “It’s quite fitting that Slash is getting a star on the very street that Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on,” he added, referring to Slash’s long-time rivalry with his former bandmate. “This man here, through his music and through his person, through his compassion, has changed the way that I look at the world forever. That can only happen through true artistry.” Following the ceremony, the 46-year-old musician -- real name Saul Hudson, born to a British father and an African-American mother -- posed for photos with his wife Perla Ferrar and their two sons. After quitting Guns N’ Roses in the mid-1990s, the guitarist had success with other bands, including Slash’s Snakepit and Velvet Revolver, before embarking on a solo career. While a typical rock wildman in his early heyday, Slash has been clean and sober for several years, and has even reportedly stopped smoking. But Sheen recalled their hell-raising years together, joking that Slash’s Hollywood star “is going to be stepped on more than the coke we did in the 80s.”

Benoa Harbor prepared to be a turnaround port Bali Post
DENPASAR - To boost the cruise ship and tourist visits to Bali, Benoa Harbor is being prepared to become a turnaround port scheduled to start later this year. General Manager of Pelindo III Benoa, Iwan Sabatini, said the development was estimated to cost IDR 2 billion and expected to give multiplier effect to Bali tourism. Iwan Sabatini stated that Benoa Harbor had been dropped in by cruise ships, but it was not optimal because only used as a transit point. In the future development, the government targeted the Benoa Harbor could become a turnaround port for cruise ships visiting Indonesia like the harbor in Singapore or Australia. As a turnaround port, there would be passenger turnover in the harbor. So far, the Benoa Harbor just served as transit point so that it could not attract many tourists and cruise ships. “In accordance with the market demand and direction of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Benoa Harbor should be ready to be-
come a turnaround port. So far, it only serves as a destination port where there was no passenger turnover. But when having become a turnaround port there will be passenger turnover pursuant to the market or cruise demand,” he said. Iwan added that to become a turnaround port, a lot of things should be prepared ranging from the office of immigration, customs, quarantine, X-ray scanner and other things related to the arrival of foreigners. Such preparation was estimated to cost an investment of IDR 2 billion. Estimated, in December 2012 the Benoa Harbor could be a turnaround port. Continued on page 6
