  • Satisfactorily List the Acknowledgements
    History of the Prostate Cancer Action Group (S.A.) Inc. 1997 - 2013 Acknowledgements In compiling the History of the Prostate Cancer Action Group (S.A.) Inc I always felt one of the more difficult parts would be to satisfactorily list the acknowledgements. Whilst members of the group over the years have displayed great initiatives in promoting prostate cancer awareness, there has also been a tremendous level of support from various areas. First I wish to acknowledge the Anti-Cancer Foundation (ACF), now Cancer Council SA (CCSA). As mentioned during the History, the group would never been formed without their initiative and in particular their project officer Jane Frankham. CCSA have continued to allow our group to meet on their premises to this day, for which we are extremely grateful. The group has been affiliated with Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) since 2001 and is indebted to them for both funding and general support. Without their backing it would not have been possible to conduct many of the events in which we have participated. The medical profession have been strong supporters of our group. In particular we owe a great deal to the various Urologists who have been key speakers at numerous public awareness presentations. Whilst I hesitate to mention names because all were greatly appreciated, I need to specifically acknowledge the following: Dr Peter Sutherland, a strong supporter of our group for many years. Apart from speaking at a number of awareness evenings, he has submitted testimonials on our behalf. His willingness to contribute a forward to this publication is greatly appreciated.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS: METROPOLITAN 31.2 FAIRFAX FOLLIES John Fairfax Holdings Ltd and its search for a new chief executive officer – to replace Fred Hilmer who announced last year that he would step down in 2005 – have been in the news constantly for more than a month, especially in the Australian. Tied in with the CEO search has been a report that Fairfax was keen to buy a stake in the Ten Network. Now read on: John Fairfax Holdings Ltd was negotiating secretly to buy a stake of up to $1 billion in the Ten Network before the Howard Government‟s planned changes to media ownership laws, the Australian reported (13 January 2005, p.1). Fairfax was one of a number of Australian-based media companies contacted by Ten Network‟s Canadian owner, CanWest, in the previous two months to gauge interest in buying a stake in the television network, the paper said.
