JULIUS FERDINANDS IS NO MORE – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Julius Ferdinands lived his life as a fierce competitor in his life’s work or on the cricket fields or Golf courses around Melbourne. But life outside the passions of this caring dad, husband and wonderfully warm friend was tragically cut short at the age of 57, cruelly taken away by Cancer which left a distraught family and hundreds of friends grieving his demise. A passionate Collingwood fan who wore his heart on his sleeve, Julius was known to let the neighborhood know who he barracked for whenever his beloved Pies were in battle. He fought his own battle similarly when challenged with the dreaded disease. A fun-loving man who made inroads into culinary fare that delighted thousands in Sri Lanka, where it all began, then the Middle East and finally in Australia at restaurant and ending as a ...
Wounded Lions seek solace in New Zealand and Australia – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Gunatilleka has much to prove. Dimuth Karunaratne will be key to Sri Lanka’s revival. Sri Lanka’s wounded Lions desperately seek some form of solace on their tour of New Zealand that has just begun after a humiliating home series drubbing by the Englishmen recently. And if New Zealand looms large, the Lankans face the acid test of pitting themselves against Australia followed by similar hostilities in South Africa in the beginning of next year. Two Tests against the New Zealanders followed by three one-dayers and a T20 game will set them up for the tougher encounters against the Australians , two Tests before they depart to the African leg which will test their worth. Indifferent form, bad selection and a huge question mark hanging over coach Chandika Hathurusinghe ...

Whispering Hope for Cancer sufferers in Badulla BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Ruwanal Senewiratne and Philomena Mather form an evenly balanced combination in their daily lives and activities and although their academic interests contrast sharply, their mutual interest in social life and welfare of the greater community settles them on an even plane. Very much the socialites among Sri Lanka’s large expatriate community in Melbourne, Ruwanal and Philo throw themselves vigorously into most activities associated with Sri Lanka’s much respected ethnic contributors to Australian society having a hand in many projects that are aimed at raising much needed funds for those ailing, and others in need, in the land of their birth. As leaders of a charity organization named Whispering Hope, Philomena Mather is the current President, the duo have managed to secure an Ambulance, a four-wheel rugged terrain vehicle that would ideally suit the needs of the Badulla Cancer hospital. The vehicle has been shipped to Sri ...
