RECORD-breaker Jasmine Harrison made a triumphant visit to Thirsk town centre to enable people to get up close to the boat she rowed solo across the Atlantic on. At aged 21, Jasmine became the youngest woman to row solo across an ocean when she completed the 3,000-mile Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in February. The gruelling route, from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua, took Jasmine 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes and secured her a place in the record books. Upon her return home to Thirsk, she made history for the second time by being awarded the Freedom of Thirsk and Sowerby Parishes in recognition of her incredible achievement.

He also helmed The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind, two sparse Westerns starring a young Jack Nicholson.
Monte Hellman, the maverick director and protege of Roger Corman who helmed the existential cult classics
The Shooting and
Two-Lane Blacktop, died Tuesday. He was 91.
Hellman died at Eisenhower Health hospital in Palm Desert a week after he had fallen in his home, his daughter, Melissa Hellman, a producer, told
The Hollywood Reporter. He was my best friend, she said.
Cahiers du Cinema, the influential French magazine, once called Hellman the most gifted American filmmaker of his generation, and critics likened the idiosyncratic director to Michelangelo Antonioni and Sam Fuller.

A multi-million pound further and higher education hub is to open in Northallerton later this year.
The Campus@Northallerton (C@N) project has been developed following a partnership between Hambleton District Council, the University of Sunderland and York College.
C@N will be based at Treadmills – the former Northallerton Prison site which is being transformed into a retail, business and leisure complex.
Officials say that currently students living in Hambleton have to travel out of the district to access further and higher education and many don’t return.
