ADVERTISTMENTS |
 Confusion, concern, apprehension and only just last week, relief.
The saga where the Grade 1 admission issue not only went to the highest court in the land but also to Parliament and Cabinet, has been keeping thousands of mothers and fathers up at night, wondering and worrying whether their little boy or girl, will take the first step into formal education at the right time and the right school. |

rescue |
 Rainforests influence weather patterns and are of prime importance for rainfall, water, fresh air and survival of mankind. Sri Lanka's forest cover has been dwindling from the time of British Colonial rule here, where thousands of acres of forest cover were cleared for plantations of coffee, rubber, coconut, tea, etc. Conservation International estimates that only around 1.5 percent of the island's original forest remains. |

| Accused on stage |
 The jury shuffles in. The court is called to order. The judge takes his seat as the two lawyers prepare to battle it out. In the balance hangs a man’s life. Is Dr. Sherwood innocent or guilty? Is Jennifer Mitchell to be believed when she says he murdered his wife? Can the witnesses be trusted? Only one thing is certain, you had better pay attention, not least because you will be called upon to deliver the verdict. |
