ECOLOGICAL DEVASTATION – By Noor Rahim Buzz! Buzz!! Buff!!! Went the chainsaw Chop! Chop!! Chop!!! Went the axe-man Gasp! Gasp!!Gasp!!! Went the citizens Watching the killing of Mother Nature, in anger & sorrow   A mighty oak tree is what they saw Felled by a machine and lumber-jack Crash! Crash!! Crash!!! Came the mighty shock All and sundry did watch the dastardly show   The question was under whose authority or law Blah! Blah!! Blah!!! Went the Authority Don’t worry, we will re-plant aplenty With small saplings and any other seed we can sow   What idiocracy do the authorities bestow By their senile permission to fell the mighty Oak That stood sentinel for many years, for mankind’s sake One can only ask oneself how long will it take to restore   Dream!

168th birth anniversary of Sir Thomas de Sampayo-By D r. Punsara Amarasinghe Source:Sundayobserver The grandeur of the legal profession in this country and its related rich traditions have mainly derived from the British. The inception of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka dates back to 1801 and the establishment of the apex court was legitimated by King George the Third under the Royal Charter of Justice to preserve and uphold the British sense of justice, which strictly prohibited the cruel mode of punishments. Sir Thomas de Samapyo After the acquisition of the Kandyan kingdom in 1815, the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court was extended to the whole island and the adoption of the charter of justice as a subsequent effect of Coolbrook-Cameron reforms in 1833 bolstered the development of the legal profession in Sri Lanka under British. ...

Embekke: The Devale of legend Source:Sundayobserver The third and final destination of our detour of the Daulagala road was Embekke Devale. In the early morning sunlight we visited Gadaladeniya and Lanklatilaka and it was late morning when we arrived at the Embekke Devale. Travelling towards Embekke, which is another two kilometres along the same road that winds through lush green fertile paddy fields and the typical rustic Embekke village, we caught a glimpse of an impressive landscape of rural Kandyan setting. Since public transport is not available on the road that we travelled, from Lankatilaka to Embekke, we offered a lift to a boy we saw walking, to attend his tuition class in a nearby place. A villager told us that over 100 families, many of them Muslims, lived in Embekke, most depending on agriculture (rice, coffee, pepper) for their livelihood. At the end of a street, in the warm ...
