River cruise by Five Schoolboys from St. Anthony’s College Mahaweli River Cruise by 5 Antonians in the 1950s. Shane took me to the mouth of the Mahaweli River after many years where our Great Mahaweli canoe Trip ended at MUTUR. The road & Bridge were not there & the memory of our final day is as vivid as ever. Five Schoolboys from St. Anthony’s College carried out & completed an adventure that was treated as the impossible. I am ever grateful firstly to Our Wonderful Dad & Mum for allowing me to carry it out with friends Lynton Van Starrex, Andre Titus, Alec VanStarrex, Our Guardian, & Anton Beekmeyer. I have detailed our Adventure in my Memoires & many thanks must go to the boatmen that guided the two joined timber canoes & us to our destination. The owner of the boats at Kandakadu refused to hire us the canoes ...

My quest for hidden treasures in Sri Lanka’s flora-by Manasee Weerathunga Bhathiya Gopallawa is a PhD candidate in botany at the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka. Credit: Kumudu Wijesooriya for Nature Source:Nature My workspace at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, includes shelves stacked with rare, preserved plant specimens. But I also work in the country’s lush forests, a tropical biodiversity hotspot filled with a trove of indigenous plants. My passion for scouting the forests for herbs escalated in 2016, when I joined the National Herbarium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, as a project assistant for the national botanical survey. I realized that, on my island nation, there are many understudied herb families. I am studying one of these, Piper, for my PhD, collecting samples from the Walankanda forest. In March 2021, a researcher working there sent me photographs of a flower. At first, it seemed to belong to the ...

When Sheriff Brothers held sway in wrestling- by Rangi Akbar Source:Island At present pugilists and self-defense sports like karate, kung-fu and taekwondo have replaced wrestling among Sri Lanka’s youth. However in the 1950s and 1960s it was wrestling which was the popular sport in many schools and clubs Among the school wrestlers it was the boys from Zahira College, Colombo who dominated. Wrestlers from Zahira not only emerged national champions but also made a mark in international wrestling contests. Chief among these wrestlers from Zahira were the Sheriff Brothers – Ameen, Rasheed and Rauff. It was in early 1950 that the noble art of wrestling, called the ‘Catch -As-You-Can’ (British free-style wrestling) was introduced to Zahira due to the initiative of a few enthusiast youth, particularly Rasheed, Ameen, Rauff and Majeed Khalid under the guidance of coach L.M. Abdur Rahman, supported by the strong patronage of the Principal A.M.A. Azeez ...
