Isle of Man News, Articles and InformationUK. Young power boaters from across the UK set new recordsPerfect weather conditions for the start of the Honda RYA Youth RIB Championship 2006 made sure that the first three events in June got off to a record breaking start. The Irish regional final set a new record with more clubs represented than ever before - seventeen youngsters from a record eight sailing clubs took part. The Channel Islands regional final has been growing every year and this year set a new record with 19 entries, and youngsters from 12 clubs across Scotland took to the water to battle it out for Scottish glory. Competition was fierce at the Scottish regional final, held at Strathclyde Country Park Watersports Centre, especially within the youngest age group (8-12 years), as only 3 seconds separated the top three spots. Craig Johnston, 16, from Royal Tay Yacht Club and Simon Thornton, 12, from East Kilbride Sea Cadets were crowned Scottish regional champions, winning the 812 and 1316 age groups respectively.It Matters to BritsYOU'LL be pleased to note that there is a healthy amount of British riders entered at this weekend's British GP at Matterley Basin, in both the MX1 and MX2 classes, so you'll, hopefully, get to cheer on some of your favourites as you also witness Stefan Everts's last GP ride on British mainland soil. .Picket lines move, negotiators stand stillPicket lines along the front of Wilcox Hospital changed as the Hawaii Nurses Association and Wilcox Hospital entered the sixth day of a deadlock over staffing issues."Cars were backing up," said Lt. Alejandre Quibilan, commander of the patrol bureau. "First responders ambulance people were concerned. We're trying to meet everyone halfway." County officials reviewed statutes that affect picketing and discovered a law against blocking public roads, like Kuene, which runs along the northeast side of Wilcox.Nurses, with permission from officials, had been pacing the hospital entrance at the intersection of Kuene Road and Kuhio Highway in one minute intervals, with 30 second breaks to allow traffic to pass. The march has been moved to the emergency room entrance on Wilcox property.Nurses marching along a second entrance now march with the flow of traffic, following pedestrian rules rather than the one-minute march policy."I'm going to give it a day or two and see how it handles the traffic," Quibilan said.Wilcox Hospital spokeswoman Lani Yukimura said ambulances have no trouble getting in, but that the changes make it safer for people turning into the hosptial.Round 17 NRL PreviewThis time of year is very critical in determining the fate of each team as we approach the Origin decider in Melbourne next Wednesday. After trying to get their players into a rhythm all year, coaches will no doubt be chewing the corner off their clipboard as the prospect of being able to pick from their entire squad, injuries and suspension aside, for the remainder of the season becomes a reality.A deadly battle for top 8 positions is underway and Im giving everyone down to the Warriors a shot at making the finals although Im worried about both the Tigers and Panthers. With rep players suited up in the stands this weekend, tips will rely heavily on who their replacements are, but theres only six games this round and thats one less to get wrong than usual. The judges gave me 5 from 7 last week and Ive put a couple of decent rounds back-to-back furnishing a cumulative total of 71/111 (64%) but Im still doing it tough to make an impact. Music, fish and folkloreTrondheim has a classic setting, surrounded by hills and set on the banks of a graceful fjord. For somewhere so far from anywhere else (Oslo is 300 miles south), the city has cosmopolitan credentials, with an impressive cathedral, fetching wooden architecture, excellent museums and a lively student population. Norway's former capital shows its charms best in summer, when barely an hour separates sunset from dawn. .AREA SPORTS /RECREATION CALENDARThe Benton County Daily Record invites area sports clubs, teams and organizations to submit news about activities and events.
