Group cycling 1,000 miles to Scotland to raise urgent funds for St Helena Hospice
A GROUP of men are taking on the "ultimate cycling challenge" from Land's End to John o' Groats to help St Helena Hospice. The 'Wrinkled Wheels' will cycle from Land's End to John o' Groats in September – about 1,000 miles by road. The aim is to raise urgently needed funds for St Helena Hospice which is facing a financial crisis after government increases to the National Living Wage and National Insurance. The hospice has received a recent £711,249 cash boost for buildings and technology, but hospice bosses say this does not help bridge the £1.1million increase in staff costs and £200,000 in non-pay costs. Organiser Dave Chapman said: 'We all have personal connections with the hospice, and I would say four out of six of us have had connections with the hospice. 'For instance, my mother-in-law passed away last year, and she spent some time in the hospice. "The people that work in the hospice are absolutely amazing, I think they are fantastic, and I don't know how they do it. "Going forward as a community we all need to try to keep St Helena's for the community.' Dave said the group is only just starting to train as inexperienced cyclists. Last year the group successfully completed a marathon in aid of Make a Wish, and Dave is confident about the group's challenge this year. They aim to complete the challenge within 10 days, which means covering about 100 miles a day. In just one morning, the budding cyclists - who come from across north Essex - raised £1,000 on their online page. The group has already raised money by hosting a clay pigeon shoot at George Wright Farms and sharing a stand with the St Helena Hospice at the Tendring Show. Dave said the Dedham Vale Detectorists have also raised £6,000 to £6,500. The group has a goal to raise £80,000 for the Hospice with an upcoming event being a sold-out dinner dance auction at the Talbooth Hotel in Dedham, with owner Paul Milsom donating a marquee free of charge. Dave added: 'Please help us protect St Helena Hospice. 'Your support means everything.' To donate visit

Northwestern University researchers develop tool to measure communities' vulnerability to heat
Everyone in the Chicago area was feeling the heat wave this week, and on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University, researchers were studying it. The researchers have been tracking the heat, and the way it impacts parts of the city differently, in a brand-new way that could ultimately provide relief for some Chicagoans. The Northwestern researchers have developed a tool called the Heat Vulnerability Index — a brand-new tool they say can make a real difference for those most impacted by the hot temperatures we all have been feeling. They also focus on how climate change plays a role. "With climate change, the main effect that we see is the number of days we call heat waves days," said researcher Finley Hay-Chapman. Hay-Chapman is part of the Defusing Disasters Working Group, led by the Buffett Institute at Northwestern. Teams on the project work to target and address the issues caused by extreme weather events in Chicago. "We can sort of get a clearer sense of sort of which community areas are most vulnerable to heat, but also why," said Hay-Chapman. The Heat Vulnerability Index the Defusing Disasters group developed is set to debut to the public next month. "And it will be able to pop up what is actually causing this vulnerability here," said Hay-Chapman. It is well-known that heat is felt differently throughout Chicago. The Heat Vulnerability Index takes research on that difference a step further — pulling data from local hospitals and health departments. The researchers use hospital health outcome data to determine when people are visiting the hospital during heat waves. For the first time with the Heat Vulnerability Index, the public can go in a use a tool allowing them to connect the dots between warming climate and impact on health. "Not only will they be able to link it to their health through this map, they will also be able to understand why," said Hay-Chapman. Hay-Chapman said Chicago's South and West Side are the main areas where researchers are seeing the most vulnerability to heat. "There are areas which have lower access to critical resources in the face of climate change we might want to focus on in future climate policy," he said. The goal once the Heat Vulnerability Index is published is to use the tool to make changes in areas feeling extreme heat most intensely — solutions such as increasing green space, planting more trees, addressing pollution issues that are worsened during heat waves, and even infrastructure changes such as subsidized air conditioning units. A spokeswoman for Chicago's Department of Environment confirmed it is working with the Northwestern group. the department said a public survey is happening right now: "The City is committed to working in partnership with the community to better understand its needs, values, and priorities. We believe that learning from the lived experience of the Chicagoans most impacted by heat leads to more effective and equitable outcomes. As part of this commitment, we are collaborating with the Defusing Disasters group to ensure community voices shape the policy solutions. "In addition to analyzing data from the Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI), the Defusing Disasters group is actively gathering public feedback through a survey. Once the data and community input have been collected and reviewed, the City will work closely with the group to incorporate the takeaways into clear, actionable recommendations for implementation." A building partially collapsed during the storms in west suburban Lyons. The apartment building is located at Ogden and Powell avenues, according to Lyons police Chief Thomas Herion. People at home can also use the Heat Vulnerability Index to guide their decisions. "You can go and see like, 'Oh, my area is really vulnerable according to this heat vulnerability tool, so maybe I should be more careful when there's a heat wave,'" said Hay-Chapman.

Direct link found between Coldwater Creek and cancer rates, Harvard researchers say
A newly released study by a team of researchers at Harvard University appears to show a direct correlation between radioactive material in Coldwater Creek and increased cancer rates. After years of fighting for answers as to how Coldwater Creek impacted the lives of the people around her Just Moms STL co-founder Dawn Chapman admits it's bittersweet news. 'We need to be able to look each other in the St. Louis region and say there are no more exposures happening,' Chapman said. 'I don't think we can say that today.' GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Researchers studied more than 300,000 baby teeth collected for the St. Louis Institute-Later Life Health study between 1959 and 1970. 'It gives us little fossil record as to what they were exposed to back in those early days,' said Marc Weisskopf, professor of environmental epidemiology and physiology at Harvard's School of Public Health. Weisskopf and his research team were able to determine that while roughly 24% of people in the St. Louis region will develop cancer the rates near Coldwater Creek are much higher. 'People really close to the creek, within a kilometer, were about 40% more likely to have cancer at any sort,' Weisskopf said. 'If you focus on those that are considered more radiosensitive they were about 85% more likely to have cancer.' Weisskopf said he's already applying for grant funding for a second, more intensive study of the contamination in Coldwater Creek. 'We can actually use those teeth and measure the remnants of that long-ago radiation that were in the teeth, and get much more precise about this and say not just, 'Did you happen to live close to the teeth?' but, 'What level of radiation is in your tooth, and what is your risk of cancer later on,' said Weisskopf. Chapman said the study is a call to action for more extensive testing and cleanup to be done in the Coldwater Creek area. "We need to get out there and clean Coldwater Creek up in two to five years,' Chapman said. 'No more of this slow-paced business. Now that we have RECA it's time to stop the exposures, so that we don't need it ongoing." Just last week, Congress expanded the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to people in north St. Louis County. If you live near Coldwater Creek, there is a town hall next Thursday, July 24, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the James Eagen Gymnasium in Florissant to discuss the help available.
