Om Swastiastu …<\/p>\n

Everyone at Bali Discovery was saddened this week by the death of a remarkable Indonesian dancer and choreographer \u2013 I Nyoman Sura, who has died of cancer at 37. Another death, that of New Zealand surfing legend Allan Bryne, also occurred this past week, the result of a traffic mishap.<\/p>\n

We also have news on a possible delay in the planned August 14th inauguration of Bali\u2019s new toll way; a update on the delayed start-up of large x-ray machines for surveillance of vehicles passing through the ports of Gilimanuk and Padang Bai; rising indications that money laundering is rife in Bali; and the tale of the beating of a local travel agent by the angry owner and manager of a leading Chinese restaurant in Kuta.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also information on the need for greater use of Condoms among sex workers to stem Bali\u2019s very high rate of new HIV\/AIDS infections; the arrest of two men for turtle poaching at Serangan island; the opening of a new Cardiac Care Center at Bali\u2019s Sanglah General Hospital; and news that 31 foreign students are now studying music and dance at Bali\u2019s Institute of Fine Arts (ISI).<\/p>\n

Urged on by growing opposition to plans to reclaim parts of Benoa Bay, senior tourism officials issue a call for better and wiser leadership of Bali that prevents the further marginalization of the Balinese people.<\/p>\n

We share news on a decline in Balinese exports; tell how the Hard Rock Hotel and Sole Men raised US$39,300 for two desperately needy Balinese families; and provide more information on the Sanur Village Festival coming in September.<\/p>\n
