AN APPLE A DAY
HELPS KEEP CANCER AWAY! By JOHN RYAN Dubbo doctors George Dawoud and Amal Tadros (pictured) reckon Red Apple Day on Wednesday, June 17, is pretty important as the highlight of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. Only lung cancer is more deadly when it comes to Australian deaths from cancers of all kinds, and these local GPs want people to know that while bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week (5375 people a year), it’s one of the most treatable types of cancer if found early. Red Apple Day is all about raising awareness and funds for Bowel Cancer Australia so the charity can help with prevention, early diagnosis, research, quality treatment and the best care for everyone affected by bowel cancer. Plenty of medical research undertaken over the years suggests antioxidants in fruits and vegetables protect the body from damaging free radicals – a bit like rust-proofing your car. So make sure you eat plenty of fresh apples this week. Dr Dawoud and Dr Tadros say they support any initiative which encourages people to look after their health and which also raises awareness around how so many diseases can be cured by early detection.

NEW ONLINE WARNING
Former Dubbo journo one of many targeted by sicko online page
By LYDIA PEDRANA
FORMER local journalist Lily Cardis (pictured left) is urging people to think twice about what they post online after becoming just one of the many Australian female reporters and news person-
alities targeted by an online sexist forum. Images of both veteran and upand-coming journalists – mostly lifted directly from the individuals’ social media accounts – are uploaded to the site by forum ‘members’, and often met with by
offensive, sexualised comments or emojis. Photos posted on the forum are not intimate or pornographic in nature, however the majority of comments are on the journalists’ appearance and more lewd ones outline the desire to perform sex-
ual acts with the females pictured. The identity of the people posting on the forum is disguised behind inconspicuous alias usernames such as ‘phunkyfeelone’ and ‘HumphreyBBear’. Continued page 4
