Cycling infrastructure to improve for Londoners HENCY THACKER INTERROBANG

Ontario has committed a budget of $375,000 to increase and im prove the cycling infrastructure for the city of London. The province has added funding of $10 million towards the im provement of cycling cycling infrastructure throughout the province across 37 municipalities. The municipalities will be working towards developing infrastructure to increase safety and convenience for the cyclists. The funds will be invested to install or improve on-road, as well as off-road cycling lanes, cycling specific traffic signals, walking paths,  bike racks and active active transportation transportation  bridges. The municipalities will be able to get 50 per cent of the local project costs to the maximum of $325,000 with the help of this funding.   “We at London Cycle Link advocate the need of cycling infrastructure to be well linked throughout the city. For example, to go to Fanshawe College, there is a route through Cheapside, which goes from a quiet neighbourhood, but there is no link to the Fanshawe downtown campus from the main campus for cyclists. We need more routes that are well linked with the city and also between cities for cyclists to be able to ride safely,” said Bonnie Lee, board member of London Cycle Link. Sharrows are shared routes for cars and cyclists. They are safe for cyclists when the area has less car traffic and lower speed limits. “We do not prefer sharrows since they are highly unsafe for cyclists at times. London has some sharrows where the speed limits are not too safe, making the cyclists feel insecure about using the bikes on the road,” Lee said.

London and District Distress Centre shutting down   JESSICA EDEN INTERROBANG

The London District and Distress Centre, an immediate help line for  people in crisis crisis to call, is being shut down due to recent budget cuts. The centre, located at 255 Horton Street, has had a large role in the community since 1968. Its pur pose since its opening has been to answer calls 24-hours a day, 365 days of the year, when concern rose due to the increasing suicide rates in London. The London and District Distress Centre is a non-profit organization that is run by highly trained-volunteers. Their friendly and supportive staff are willing to be a short-term, confidential, listening ear to issues such as depression, abuse, addiction, mental health issues, as well as many others. Cheryl Legate, executive director of the centre, described the closing down as shocking and devastating. The United Way, who funds the centre, is redirecting its funds elsewhere, which leaves the facility in no other position than to close its doors. Legate described the centre as  being “unique and different” in terms of having highly trained volunteers that are well-supported in a comfortable work environment for answering the distress line, 24 hours of the day.

The London District and Distress Centre, located at 255 Horton Street, will be closing as of January 1 unless more funding can be found. “We do what we do extremely well here, we’ve been doing it for a long time,” Legate said. According to Legate, the funds are going to be allocated to a different organization in the coming years. “Now it will be under a different umbrella,” legate said. “Moving forward with the loss of the United Way funding to us, what’s been indicated is of Jan. 1, 2017, the funds will be redirected to the Canadian

Mental Health Association in order for them to have a distress line.” Legate has received an overwhelmingly large community response through people visiting, calling and emailing the centre describing their disappointment and sadness upon hearing that it will be closing after all this time, considering the large positive impact it has had on the community. “[The support] speaks volume in regards to how well-respected

 The trut truthh about about sun suncree creenn: Is itit wor worth the the risk? risk?  FEYISAYO OLAKANYE VINCENT INTERROBANG

One in four Canadians will die of cancer and two in five Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime, according to the 2014 Canadian Cancer Statistics published by the Government of Canada. This is staggering, but true. Cancer is the deadliest disease in Canada with about a 30 per cent mortality rate. The Canadian Cancer Society estimated around 275,200 new cases of cancer were reported and around 78,000 people died from cancer in 2015. Skin cancer alone accounts for about one third of all new cancer cases in Canada making it the most common cancer type in Canada, with the rate rising significantly.  Nonetheless, skin cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. Kevin Jordan, a medical physicist at the London Health Sciences Centre, said that lack of melanin, suppressed immunity during organ transplant and prolonged exposure to sunlight are major predisposing factors to skin cancer. This makes absolutely all fair-skinned (Caucasians) and red-skinned (Mongoloid)  populations more susceptible to cancer than the black-skinned (Ne-

Walk against poverty at the World Partnership Walk HENCY THACKER INTERROBANG On June 5 at Victoria Park, an afternoon filled with fun, entertainment and food along with the 32nd World Partnership Walk will take  place. This four kilometre walk is one of the many events and activities conducted by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC). AKFC is an agency of the worldwide Aga Khan network working in 30 different countries and is also a registered charity established in 1980. The goal of these agencies all over the world is to help develop the social, economic and cultural dimensions in the society. The main cause AKFC that is fighting against is global poverty. The mission of AKFC is to improve living conditions and opportunities for the poor regardless of their faith, origin or gender. The World Partnership Walk takes place in ten cities across Canada, supported by over 40,000 Canadians. The walk is organized by 1,500 volunteers and is sponsored  by more than 560 Canadian corporations. Last year, the event raised over $7 million, making the total reach over $95 million since 1985. All of the funds collected through

any activity or donations are not used for meeting the administrative or management costs. “The Canadian government has  been very supportive towards us. They match every dollar to dollar making the funds double the amount from what is originally  being raised. This actually helps me believe in the foundation too. It makes me think, if the government is showing such tremendous sup port, this sure must be legitimate. And it makes me feel good about myself knowing that I am a part of this organization,” said Sandy Rattan-Ladak, stage lead at the World Partnership Walk and a volunteer at AKFC. The AKFC does not believe in  providing the poor with just food, clothes or shelter. The foundation designs programs that are sustainable in the long term. The funds that are collected are used to build facilities for the global poor like  building hospitals, water treatment centres and more. To the aspiring entrepreneurs who cannot afford loans, the foundation helps them with interest free loans for their  business. After a project is implemented, the foundation also looks over the maintenance maintenance.. “Basically, we provide the poor

We want them to develop lifelong skills by teaching them how to do things, so that they can earn for themselves instead of relying completely on donations,” said Sharmeen Somani, media relations for the walk and a volunteer at the AKFC. The World Partnership Walk includes the Global Village, Bolly-

wood dance, Greek dance, henna tattooing, face painting and many more activities. Food will be available at the venue with vegetarian options at a nominal cost, and 100 per cent of the funds raised will be donated. “We have invited a lot of corporations to participate in the walk with their teams wearing their own brand clothes. These corporations always try to participate with us, since they

get a chance to have fun, participate in a cause and still get a platform for free advertising of their brands,” Somani said. The walk is fairly leisurely, leaving the participants with a lot of time to picnic with their families at the park on Sunday afternoon with free entertainment and food, all for a good cause.

A berry sweet way to spend the day  Now that summertime has arrived, so has the berry-pickin berry-picking g season. Fresh fruit is a summer essential that can be eaten fresh, frozen or used in jams, pies and drinks. Why not skip the trip to the grocery

The farm market has baked goods, kitchen tools, refreshments and souvenirs that you can pick up at the end of your visit. The website even has a tool called the “Daily Crop Report” that describes the ripeness and quantity of the fruit. Summer tours include activities especially aimed towards young children in-

Pick-your-own also allows you the freedom to pick the fruit that you want and avoids baskets half-full of rotting fruit. There are many fruit farms in London and the surrounding area, the closest being Heeman’s, Kustermans and Millar Berry Farms. Heeman’s is mainly known for its wide variety of strawberries and separate building garden centre. Located just off of Dundas, this strawberry farm features different types of strawberries throughout the season such as Wendy, Jewel, Mira and Albion and includes a free wagon ride to the field. The garden centre has an indoor and outdoor section that has different weekly flower, shrub and vegetable features. The garden center also has a large selection of gardening tools, lawn products and plant seeds.

Conquering Conqu ering craft craft beer curio curiosity sity NICK REYNO INTERROBANG

Are you tired of your beer snob  buddies judging your drink choices? Are pints of Budweiser and Coors Light starting to wear you down? It sounds like you’re ready to enter the magical and exciting world of craft beer. Craft beer is generally made on a small scale by independent com panies called microbrewer microbreweries. ies. This type of brewing could be likened to any other artisan food but saying ‘craft beer’ just sounds a little less  pretentious. When carving out an appreciation for craft beer, it’s usually best to start with local brews. Not every craft beer will be a perfect fit and getting to speak with a brewmaster about their own beverage isn’t an opportunity that comes with big  brands like Budweiser or Coors Light. In addition to this, most microbreweries have a thick network of working relations with other local businesses, so supporting their  beer supports the the city, city, too. London has three nearby micro breweries: Forked River, River, Toboggan Toboggan and Railway City. All of the breweries offer a  blonde ale or lager lager that they recomrecommend to anyone starting out on their craft beer quest. When asked about their own  beers, Forked River founder Steve  Nazarian, recommend recommended ed to “…always start with our blonde ale. It’s what we call our gateway beer. It’s nice, it’s light and finishes off a little bit citrusy.” Blondes are a relatively failsafe  path into the craft world, as they tend to be far less hoppy than a pale ale or an India pale ale (IPA). You can tell a beer is hoppy by the bitterness left on the tongue or for unseasoned drinkers, a devastatingly harsh assault on your taste  buds. Hops are widely used to balance the sweetness of malted grains

in beer but it also acts as a natural  preservative for for the brew. brew. It’s best to stay away from India  pale ales when starting out, as they are known primarily for their bitterness, shown by a high IBU rating (internationall bittering units). Most (internationa  beer emporiums will list a beer’s IBU beside its alcohol content so as a last resort, look for the beer with the lowest rating. IPAs came about 300 years ago when British breweries had to increase the amount of hops in their  beer to ensure ensure it would last last the long sea voyage to India. Jumping right into an IPA is a great way of being forced to admit to beer snob buddies that you’ve made a grievous error. While things like citrus and caramel are easy to pick up when there’s not much competing for your attention, the  bitterness of a finely hopped beer can cover up a drink’s complex flavor palate for people unfamiliar with its nuances. If you’re looking for a specific  place to start this summer summer,, opt for some of the seasonal beers in stock. While Microbreweries often have a small number of mainstay beers, they frequently cycle limited edition and seasonal brews. This gives the drinks an air of exclusivity, while allowing the brewers to release beers that compliment particular times of the year. Summer beers tend to be light, sweet and fruity so this is the perfect time of year to get into craft  beer. Take Forked River’s summer wheat beer Mojo; it’s a light and zesty beer with subtle rhubarb tartness. According to brewmaster Steve Nazarian, Mojo’s bright flavours make it a refreshing patio  beer, while the citrus bodes work well with summer fruit platters. Mojo shares the summer spotlight with Railway City’s Gypsy Fortune Teller, which uses lavender,  juniper berries and orange peel for

its distinctly refreshing tone. According to Sonya Cockburn of Railway City, since Gypsy doesn’t contain any hops it’s technically a gruit, not a beer. Gruit drinks pay homage to a method of brewing  popular between the 11th and 13th century, which favoured herbs such as sage and rosemary to bitter the  beers before before the use of hops became became common practice. If you ever get confused during a beer conversation, change the focus and bring up Gypsy. Knowing its backstory as a gruit will win you some serious points with beer snobs, believe me. If you’re still nervous to head down to a beer emporium like Milo’s, have no fear. We live in the glorious year of 2016 where you no longer have to go to a pub to enjoy a good craft beer. Thanks to LCBO and the Beer Store, all troubleshooting can be done at home before going toe-to-toe with your buddies on Richmond Row. The LCBO’s craft collection has been growing significantly from a modest shelf to an entire section that holds its own quite nicely beside the big name beers. In fact, LCBO has raised the bar against the Beer Store by bringing out a fun shopping idea called ‘secret suds’. Secret suds are LCBO  bags with a few words written on them and a secret assortment of related craft beers inside. It’s a risky yet rewarding way to discover new  beers while eliminating the time spent researching them and reading through labels. Whether you’d like to opt for a  brewery tour and tasting, or grab a secret suds bag from LCBO, discovering a good variety of craft  beer will improve your summer dramatically. It’s the equivalent of discovering that white bread with the crusts cut off isn’t the only way to have a sandwich.

The history of the flexi record goes all the way back to the 60s when they were first introduced as an inexpensive way to give music away in magazines in the time before CDs became commercially available. For over three decades the Soviet government would give away free flexi discs in magazines for children and youth, while back in North America at the same time National Geographic used the medium to distribute the songs and calls of humpback whales and the cosmos. The small, seven inch sized sheets of plastic are etched, like vinyl records, and though are lower quality than vinyl records, were also much cheaper to produce. For this reason the flexi became popular with small, independent bands as a way to sell records at a fraction of the cost. A local group of indie bands released their own flexi disc compilation on April 1, titled New London. Using manufacturers in the Czech Republic, six bands ranging from post punk, noise and grindcore came together to show what London’s DIY music scene has  been up to. Post-punk noise outfit Manager kicks off  New London  with “Lil

Pig”, showcasing their abrasive sound and signature guitar work. Under the moniker Anti-Freeze, an experimental folk metal solo  project going going on several several years, Fanshawe Music Industry Arts (MIA) grad Preston Lobzun added the sludgy, metal piece “Anal Teeth” to the release. Fresh from their work on another compilation, a soundtrack to the comic book “The Humans”, Child Leash brought their song “Bird Boy” to the roster, a lo-fi noise  punk number. number. The second half of  New London   begins with folky post-rock outfit Molly Drag’s “Power Trip Apathy”, a slow Flaming Lips-esque tune, giving the sensation of floating in the ocean alone. Disleksick, the self-proclaimed most hated band in London, brought “We Cut Up A Live Recording” to the comp, a harsh song which showcases the nine year old grindcore bands so-ugly-it’s-good sound. Finally is London favourites The Syndrome with “Jerk”, ending the compilation with a classic hardcore  punk tune reminiscent of Minor Threat. Printed on the see-through green  plastic and limited limited to only 265 copies,  New London  is a primer for anyone interested in London’s DIY music scene.

Every year hundreds of thousands of Londoners flock to coffee shops; for most, they are as much as part of a daily routine as getting out of bed, or going to school or work. Whether it be Tim Horton’s, Starbucks or William’s, the coffee shop is a staple of student life. From somewhere to work on assignments, to a source for a quick food run to simply a place to unwind after a long day, it is undeniable that they play an essential role in almost every individual’s daily life. And the competition for this lucrative market is fierce with many shops offering sales and discounts as well as specialized menu items in order to try and attract the ma jority of consumers to their door. However, many local coffee shops have taken this a step further and created themed shops in order to try and stand out amongst their com petitors.

Summer is a time to get outside and enjoy the sun with friends and yes, it is also a time to get active. But instead of hitting the gym or going for a casual stroll in the park, why not enroll you and your friends in a themed run. This is one the best ways to get outside, enjoy the sun and be active, but also provides an irreplaceablee experience. Below are irreplaceabl a few examples of themed runs that will definitively distract from the massive amount of exercise you are giving your body. Run to the BBQ Taking place June 17 at Metro-

As summer is finally here, it’s time to lose the pasty, pale skin and  bring back that beautiful glow. We all know that tanning beds and too much exposure to the sun can come along with some pretty major health risks, but there are many other ways to achieve that summer tan without the health concerns. One of the simplest ways to achieve a healthy glow on your face is to apply a powder or liquid bronzer. Benefit’s Dew the Hoola is the  perfect liquid bronzer that is suitable for all skin tones and can be worn on top of your makeup or  just be worn alone. It’s completely matte and lightweight so it works well with all skin types. If you prefer powder bronzers, now is the perfect time to try out a new one. Most makeup collections that are out now feature a limited edition bronzer that is usually a  jumbo size so it can even be used

on your body as well. Lise Watier, Clarins and Marcelle all have some gorgeous bronzers out right now that are definite musthaves. For the rest of your body, there are always self-tanners to help bring your skin’s glow back. Some peo ple can be reluctant to try these because of the fear of looking streaky or like an “Oompa Loompa”, but technology has come a long way and these fears can be laid to rest. Most self-tanners give a natural and gradual colour so you don’t have to worry about looking orange. If you follow some of these key steps you will achieve that perfect, streak free tan without any issues. It is important to know that self-tanners will adhere and go much darker on dry skin so it is best to exfoliate the body well the day  before you apply it. Focus a lot on your knees, elbows and ankles, as these tend to be the driest. If you find you have extremely dry skin, you can always put a light layer of moisturizer on those dry ar-

One of those players is Olli Juolevi, an 18-year-old defenseman from Helsinki, Finland. Juolevi made the jump from the Finnish U20 league to OHL’s London Knights this past summer and has climbed in the rankings ever since his arrival.

Some of those teams are the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have the first pick of the draft, the Vancouver Canucks, who have the fifth pick and the Buffalo Sabres who have the eighth pick. According to Juolevi, he has no  preference as to what team picks him, he is just happy to be where he is said to be on the draft. “The team who attracts you is the team who likes the way you play, they want you to be the next big part of the team, I will be happy with whoever drafts me because I know

Safety is key, especially after months of not doing some of these activities. Even the fittest person can get injured if they just jump right into something.

Try to exercise in the morning or after 5 p.m. when temperatures start to dip or there is more shade.
