Bali-based Winery to
Supply 50% of
Sacramental Wine
Needs for Roman
Catholic Church in
Indonesia.
AsiaNews reports that the
Catholic Church in
Indonesia has entered into
an agreement with a Bali
company – Sababay
Winery that will initially
supply 50% of the
sacramental wine
consumed by churches,
parishes, and religious
institutes in the Republic.
The use of wines made from
Indonesian-grown grapes will
end the Indonesian Church's
complete dependency on wines
imported from Oceania and
Europe.
The sacramental wines are
made according to the strict
protocols set by the Church
using grapes grown in the North
Bali Regency of Singaraja.
On November 29, 2018, at the
Sababay Winery in Gianyar a

Who you sit next to on
a flight can be
somewhat of a lottery if
you're travelling alone,

The good news is, there are ways
you can deal with the situation on
board, as one flight attendant
shares a nifty trick for dealing with
bad odours.
Flight attendant Sarah Steegar
told FlyerTalk that passengers
should first speak to cabin crew
and see if there are any empty
seats they can move you to.
You may want to do this as

there are no spare seats then you
could be setting yourself up for a
very awkward journey.
If they can't move you, don't be
disheartened - all you're going to
need to do is offer a coffee.
Sarah revealed: "If we can move

course we will. If we can't, consider

Here's a quick side tip:
Coffee packs are also
great for when someone
has been sick in the
cabin."
The smell of the coffee
should be strong enough
to help distract you, while
also being a subtle
solution that doesn't leave
you offending fellow
passengers.
In fact, it's a useful way to
try and cope with most bad odours,
especially on longer flights where
the air can sometimes start to feel
a bit stale.
Although if you do order one, you
may want to avoid drinking the
coffee itself - and not just because
of that dreaded coffee breath!
(Although the latter is easily fixed
by packing a travel
toothbrush/toothpaste set).

Hendrayana said the new
regulation has been socialized
to the public and shopping
centers. Banners and billboard
advising of the coming ban on
plastic bags have also been
installed on key roadways.
Hendaryana said the new
regulation and its enforcement are
intended to reduce the harmful
effects of plastic waste on the
natural environment. Adding: “The

plastic waste is polluting the

government will expand the ban
on plastic bags to other areas
beyond shopping centers and
convenience stores. Plastics will
also soon be banned at traditional
markets with eco-friendly shoping
baskets introduced to replace
plastics.
The manager of an Alfamart
convenience store, Muhammad
Sofii, said that his store has
already begun socializing an end
to the use of plastic to their
customer base. Alfamart, he said,
would follow the new regulation
banning the use of plastic bags on
January 1, 2019.
Data supplied by the Association
of Indonesian Plastic Industries
(Inaplas) and the National Statistic
Agency (BPS) show Indonesia as
the second largest contributor of
plastic waste in the world in 2018.
Indonesia produces 64 million
tons of plastic waste per year.

What next in the F1 driver market after Lewis
Hamilton's new deal?
Lewis Hamilton's contract
extension is set to open up
the 2019 driver transfer
market after its enforced
hibernation while the
Mercedes driver dallied over
a new deal.
Now that F1's world champion has
signed his new deal, the dominoes
in the driver market are set to fall...
"Once Lewis [Hamilton] has
signed his contract you will get a
domino effect all the way through
the paddock," Horner confided to
Sky F1 in Austria.
The Red Bull boss' vested interest
runs deep and immediate: Daniel
Ricciardo won't re-sign
until both seats at
Mercedes are secure.
The Australian is
understood to have been
sounded out by the world
champions as they
considered their options
in the event of Hamilton
failing to recommit, but
confirmed two weeks
ago he is "very likely" to
re-sign at Red Bull.
Max Verstappen signed
his own Red Bull contract
extension until 2020 in October -
like all the deals in F1 at present, it
expires before 2021 as nobody
knows what F1 will look like
beyond then and which teams will
still be part of the scene.
Ricciardo very likely to stay at Red
Bull
While McLaren are believed to
have offered Ricciardo a mega
financial deal, that particular trail
appears to have gone cold -
unsurprising, perhaps, given the
team's current upheaval.
"If it wasn't Red Bull, they are the
two most attractive options,"
Ricciardo said pointedly of Ferrari
and Mercedes. "So if they are not
possible it's hard for me to be
convinced there is a better option
than Red Bull."
McLaren, though, are exploring
21 Dec. - 27 Dec. 2018
plenty of options and have been
strongly linked with Kimi
Raikkonen, a talking point the Finn
swerved last month in trademark
deadpan style but notably
declined to defuse.
Likewise, McLaren's refusal to
mute either item of speculation -
Ricciardo or Raikkonen - and the
big-name common denominator
may also be telling. Are the team
braced for Fernando Alonso
leaving to go Stateside to fully
commit to his dream of completing
the triple crown?
Alonso says his preference is to
remain in F1 but only if he can
secure a winning seat in 2019 -
which, when translated, means
move to Mercedes, Ferrari or Red
Bull.
The reality, however, is that none
of those teams are likely to
consider Alonso, no matter the
size of his talent or any reduction in
his financial demands. That
assessment may have changed at
Mercedes had Hamilton failed to
re-engage, but the world
champion's contract extension is
likely to be followed imminently by
confirmation of a new deal for
Valtteri Bottas and an unchanged
line-up.
Update: Bottas signs one-year

outcome. But IndyCar is now off

which makes retaining Alonso
both more difficult and more
business-critical. The team remain
hopeful Fernando can be
persuaded. With a generous
chequebook, and so few options
available elsewhere, he probably
can.
At Ferrari, the picture is settled on
one side of the garage and an
open canvas on the other.

Ferrari are not prone to

but Leclerc looks an
exceptional talent worth

Back at McLaren, youth
could also be given its
head in 2019 in the
shape of Lando Norris, the English
youngster starring alongside
George Russell in F2.
The sticking point for McLaren is
that Norris, at 19, can't be
considered a candidate replace
the 36-year-old Alonso and so a
promotion only looks viable if
made at the expense of Stoffel
Vandoorne. The Belgian has had a
moderate year and his 10-0 defeat
to Alonso in qualifying is difficult to
overlook.
But McLaren may well be anxious
about Norris' inexperience and
their rejection of an early-season
interest from Toro Rosso - where
Brendon Hartley already appears
to be on borrowed time - tacitly
suggested they are not looking to
fast-track Lando into F1 just yet.

Daniel Ricciardo has

Verstappen to be a lot worse

The duo spent nearly three

Verstappen was promoted from Toro

Returning to Red Bull, the question
of who would replace Ricciardo in
the event of his departure recently
delivered an unexpected and
intriguing answer.
Carlos Sainz is on loan at Renault
and has long been considered the
heir apparent. But the word in the
paddock is that it would be Pierre
Gasly, impressing during his debut
F1 season, rather than Sainz who
would replace Ricciardo because of
the ructions between Verstappen
and Sainz when they were team-
mates at Toro Rosso.
While Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg
will probably stay at Renault, it
would be surprising if F1's French
team weren't at least looking for a
French driver. The catch is that, of

Grosjean probably burnt his bridges

believes the two's relationship may
actually improve as they will no
longer be “direct competitors”.
“Unless we're battling for the same
bit of Tarmac,” Ricciardo said on a
Red Bull podcast. “That could
always spice it up!
“I'd say the relationship with Max
and myself went better than, I'll be
honest, I thought it would go.
“Just our personalities and our self-
belief. I really believe he thinks he's
the best in the world and I believe I

“So, that can obviously clash. But

“It was cool, it was a good, hard fight

Verstappen is widely tipped to be

But Mercedes may be persuadable
if they believe Ocon - 8-2 up on
Sergio Perez in qualifying this year

successor to either Bottas or
Hamilton - needs to be further up the
grid to continue his education and a
deal can be reached that sees
Russell, another Mercedes
graduate, fill the vacancy at Force

Arrows.
Who out of Sainz and Nico
Hulkenberg would make way at
Renault in that scenario? The
answer may well be Sainz,
especially if McLaren don't mind

Mary, puts it in the closet and locks the door.
He takes another piece of paper and writes,
"Dear baby Jesus, if you ever want to see
your mother again..."
Man on Deathbed
A man lies on his deathbed, surrounded by
his family: a weeping wife and five children.
Three of the children are tall, good looking
and athletic; but, the fourth and youngest is
an ugly runt. "Darling wife," the husband
whispers, "assure me that the youngest child
really is mine. I want to know the truth before
I die, I will forgive you if ..." The wife gently
interrupts him. "Yes, my dearest, absolutely,
no question, I swear on my mother's grave
that you are his father." The man then dies,
happy. The wife mutters under her breath:
"Thank God he didn't ask about the other
four."

Drug store
A guy goes into a drugstore to buy condoms. The
clerk says, "What size?" The guy says, "Gee, I
don't know". The clerk says, "Go see Sophie in
aisle 4." He goes over to see Sophie; she grabs
him in the crotch, and yells, "Medium". The guy is
mortified; he hurries over to pay and get out of
the store. Another guy comes in to buy condoms,
the clerks asks the size, and again sends him
over to Sophie in aisle 4. Sophie grabs him and
yells, "Large". The guy struts over to the register,
pays and leaves. A high school kid comes in to
buy condoms. The clerk says, "What size?" The
kid (embarrassed) says, "I've never done this
before. I don't know what size." The clerk sends
him over to Sophie in aisle 4. She grabs him and
yells, "Clean up in aisle 4!”
Devout Catholic
Maria is a devout Catholic. (No condoms for her!)
She gets married and has 17 children...and then
her husband dies. She remarries two weeks
later...and has 22 children by her second
husband. She dies. At her wake, the priest looks
tenderly at Maria as she lies in her coffin, looks
up to the heavens, and says, "At last...they're
finally together." A man standing next to him
asks, "Excuse me, Father, but do you mean her
and her FIRST husband, or her and her
SECOND husband?" "No," the priest says
politely, "I mean her LEGS."

Why retiring in Bali is easier than you think
Baby-boomers and
retirees are increasingly
dipping into their super
and using their age
pension to bankroll lives
of luxury for a fraction of
the cost in Bali.
Affordable luxury
Grandmother Marie Stephens
from the Gold Coast has been
living in a three-bedroom villa in
Bali's Legian district for a year
now, and hasn't looked back.
"In Australia, it'd be at least six
times the price of what it is
here," Marie told A Current
Affair.
"The restaurants are
amazing, and you
might pay from $4
AUD to $15 AUD for
stunning food," she
said.
Marie estimates she
lives off less than
$300 a week, and
that's including rent,
food, and even house
staff.
Australian residents
can't technically own
property
Australians have to
lease property in Bali,
it's only Indonesians
who can buy a home
outright.
"They have leases from a year
to 25 years," Marie told ACA.
"The longer period you take and
the more years you pay, the
better price you're going to pay
p e r y e a r. S o i f y o u p a y
something for a year, you might
pay $20,000 AUD, but if it's over
a 20 year period, you might be
paying as little as $10,000 a
year."
Rental potential
Sixty-one-year-old Rob
21 Dec. - 27 Dec. 2018
Burnham is making a small
fortune after swapping the
suburbs of Melbourne, for the
trendy Bali district of Seminyak.
"It's a great lifestyle," he told
ACA.
The grandfather rents out his
home in Caroline Springs, and
purchased a lease on a
stunning villa in Bali for
$110,000 AUD.
He and his wife have renovated
the home, and rent it out on
AirBnB to travellers, while they
see the sights of south-east
Asia.
"The peak season from
December to late January, we
could make in the vicinity of
maybe $8,000 AUD or $9,000
AUD."
Visa requirements and health
care
Director of moving assistance
company Retire to Asia,
Andrew Leeson, says
Australians need to be
sponsored for a retirement visa
if they plan on spending their
golden years in Bali.
"We can provide the
introduction to a registered
reputable agency that helps
32
News Corner
you with the paperwork and
also provides sponsorship for
you," he told ACA.
Australians planning to make
KUTA WEEKLY
the move should also take out
international private health
cover.
REAL ESTATE GUIDE
"Bali offers very good quality hideaway residence | ungasan, bali
healthcare, and you would
expect that around major
centres through south-east
Asia," Andrew said
Right now, it's estimated more
“Kuta Weekly’s Property of The Month”
than 80,000 Australians receive
the age pension while living
overseas, and that figure is
looking to "increase
substantially," according to
hideaway residence | ungasan, bali
www.hideawaydevelopment.com | www.hideawayresidencebali.com

Andrew.
"Retirees are becoming a lot
more adventurous, and it
doesn't need to be as
challenging as many people
think," he said.
You need to apply for the age
pension before leaving
Australia, and if you do reach
age pension age when you're
overseas, who have to move
back to the country for two
years over the period in which
you apply.
