Personally, it was obviously frustrating not being involved after the good work I had done at Old Trafford, I had started to feel like my old self back at the crease. But I was proud as punch for the lads at Scarborough, they put in a real performance against Nottinghamshire after being 60-6 on the first morning and to turn it around on a similar fashion that we did, it followed a similar path to the Durham game at Scarborough last year.
We actually mentioned it on the first morning and last year, we were 90-9 on the first morning and ended up winning in three days and we came through again.
We have played some good cricket at Scarborough over the years and I can only remember losing a couple of games in seven or eight years. We were outstanding again and are getting to the business end of the season and it is very tight at the top of the league.
Middlesex are playing some good cricket. But we have the experience of coming through what we have done for the last few years and if we keep the pressure on and keep doing what we do, we can get over the line and make it three in a row. I am confident that we can do it.
Azeem Rafiq and Andrew Hodd came good with the bat for us when we were in trouble. Hoddy has had a bit of stick throughout the season about his batting from a number of supporters and he came in and showed what he is about and rolled his sleeves up and stuck his chest out.
It is not always about stats; it is about making that match-winning contribution and that is exactly what he did. To get 95, in the circumstances, helps keep the pressure on, given how close the league table is.
Rafiq also showed his prowess. He has got a first-class hundred and I think he made that on debut and I also remember playing a game at Worcester around 2008 and he got a hundred there, but probably never kicked on from that.
It is his way to be aggressive and the situation suited him and probably the best thing to do was attack and that is what he did and it came off.
The bowlers finished it off and it was pleasing to see how ruthless we were. I have previously spoken in this column about missed opportunities in games and not being able to clean the tail up. But our bowlers were outstanding throughout and bowled the right lines and lengths which you need to do at Scarborough.
To be fair, the ‘blotter’ that came from Headingley did its job on the ground. I think it set off a few days ago and it was really slow on the A64, but we managed to get it to Scarborough!
Obviously, it was frustrating to miss out with a back injury. It happened last Saturday when I was in the gym in the morning and just twinged it when I was squatting. I was okay, but then I came and had a bit of treatment from the physio and he treated to loosen it off and it actually made it worse and it locked up and I couldn’t move on Monday.
I had a fitness test on Tuesday morning. I probably could have got through the game if it was just about batting, but I couldn’t have really moved in the field and would have been letting the lads down if I had tried to get through. It has improved a lot since and had we started the game yesterday, then I would have been good to go, really. But unless there is a blip over the weekend, I will be ready for the game at Hampshire next week.
There was at least good news with David Willey’s injury. Looking at it on Saturday night after the Twenty20, I thought he had bust his hand with the size of it and everything. It added up to him breaking his hand and being out for the rest of the season.
It is added bonus that he isn’t and fingers crossed that we can get him back to tomorrow’s semi-final. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-outstanding-display-against-notts-left-me-as-proud-as-punch-1-8091926 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/4c0f8b1aa8678a7ce8f377755df6d257bf0f3d0b8f90889532b6e456a334c6d9.json |

In a statement on Sunday, the England and Wales Cricket Board said that an X-ray to Willey’s left hand, his bowling hand, had “not excluded a significant injury”, casting doubt on his participation for the rest of the season considering that the summer has only a month or so to run.
But a second scan yesterday revealed that there is no fracture to the hand that Willey injured when he was struck by a fierce return drive from Mark Stoneman, the Durham batsman, during NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday.
It is now being suggested that Willey could even feature in the second one-day international at Lord’s on Saturday, with the five-match series starting in Southampton tomorrow.
Jake Ball, the Nottinghamshire seamer who was called up to replace Willey, will stay with the national squad and therefore be unavailable for the County Championship game against Yorkshire at Scarborough, which starts this morning.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, has also been withdrawn from Notts’ squad for the fixture at North Marine Road pending a scan on his left ankle.
Both second-placed Yorkshire and bottom club Notts are depleted due to injuries and international calls as they each look to bounce back from losing in the T20 semi-finals.
Alex Lees, the Yorkshire one-day captain, said that there was no time to dwell on that setback as the county champions seek a win that would significantly strengthen their hopes of a hat-trick of titles.
“We don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves because there’s some big games coming up in the next five or six weeks, starting with Notts,” said Lees.
“It’s a massive game against a team who have struggled for form this year, and if we can play our brand of cricket, I’m sure that we’ll put pressure on them over the four days.”
Lees said Yorkshire are relishing the chance to get Saturday’s disappointment out of their system.
“The opportunity to get back up and running in a different competition with a win, and so soon after the disappointment of Saturday, is a great incentive,” he said. “We need to show the character that this group has become renowned for in recent years.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/second-scan-clears-willey-for-action-as-yorkshire-get-ready-for-notts-1-8083100 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/298e9ca8204a5fe7f438a8187bbc5f5ce7e7bcc127802fa1d4209e6a34f4a835.json |

The 23-year-old opening batsman, who took over the leadership of Yorkshire’s one-day sides last December, has helped mastermind a stunning turnaround in form which sees Yorkshire as favourites with most bookmakers to lift the trophy.
As a young and inexperienced captain, Lees must have felt the pressure of Yorkshire’s poor start to the tournament more than most.

But he has shown great character and maturity to help get their campaign back on track, and he said he is relishing the chance to lead them out at Edgbaston today.
“Definitely. It’s always an honour to represent the White Rose, so the opportunity to lead the side in a Finals Day is massive,” said Lees, who is Yorkshire’s youngest full-time limited overs captain having taken over the role from Championship leader Andrew Gale.
“I’ve not been to a Finals Day as a player before, but I have watched a few on television.
“The atmosphere is always electric, and I can’t wait to get out there and, hopefully, we can play some good cricket and entertain the crowd.”
Yorkshire go into today’s event with confidence high after seven wins in their last eight T20 games.
Lees attributes the transformation to the players discovering a sense of belief.
“We were obviously disappointed with the early-season results, but we never felt that we were far away from playing some very good cricket,” said Lees.
“I think the turning point in our white-ball cricket this season was Lythy’s (Adam Lyth) knock against Northants at Scarborough (in the Royal London Cup).
“He played with real freedom that day, and that has given the rest of the squad confidence to go out and express themselves in both competitions.
“We’ve got a lot of talented players, and everyone understands their roles and we’ve backed ourselves and taken a very positive approach, looking to put as much pressure as possible on the opposition.
“Hopefully, we can take take approach into the semi-final against Durham.”
Lees is expecting a tough test against a Durham team boosted by the return of England’s Ben Stokes. But he believes that his own side have more than enough firepower to beat them.
“Durham are a very good side with some very experienced players who know their games inside out,” said Lees.
“We will have to play very well to defeat them and to progress to the final, but we know that we have the players on the day to do just that.
“We’ve been playing some great T20 cricket at just the right time, and I’m confident in the strength of our team. Everyone’s been contributing, and it’s a proper team effort to get to this stage.”
No-one has contributed more than Lees, who is Yorkshire’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 272 at 22.66.
He is just ahead of David Willey, who has hit 269 runs at 29.88, while Lyth, Jack Leaning and Kane Williamson have also scored more than 200 runs for the county in this year’s competition, with Williamson having featured briefly as an overseas player before rejoining New Zealand for international action.
Tim Bresnan leads Yorkshire’s wicket-taking list with 20 at 16.20, with spinners Adil Rashid (14 at 18.85) and Azeem Rafiq (13 at 18.69) coming next on the chart.
“I feel like I’ve been hitting the ball nicely all season,” said Lees, who made 85 and 114 not out in the draw against Lancashire in the County Championship at Old Trafford last week.
“It was nice to get some runs in the Roses game, and, hopefully, I can take that form into the semi-final.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/t20-finals-day-adam-lyth-s-knock-the-spark-for-yorkshire-s-white-ball-momentum-alex-lees-1-8078722 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/454d664278c9d2fa40d81fd8ed80e0a237876aa3357d58be5f164f94bec6e5bd.json |

Hovingham is a beautiful and charming village surrounded by glorious countryside, which is a myriad of colours at the moment.
As I drove I was delighted by swathes of purple rosebay willowherb, contrasted by the rich golden colour of the ripe corn, which in turn was scattered by the ruby red of poppies and with a backdrop of lush green hedges and trees.
Then there is the brilliant yellow of ragwort beside the roads.
This maybe a dangerous pest, so far as livestock is concerned, but it is striking.
There are the wonderful hues of nature wherever you look.
Having met the couple and their two delightful dogs I came back through Malton, where I stopped and did a bit of shopping and then the next day I went over to Ripley Castle, where the Harrogate Talking Newspaper for the Blind is recorded. I occasionally contribute to this.
Having done my stint there, I drove back through Knaresborough, and passed the signs to Mother Shipton’s Cave, which I have never actually visited despite being a potholer for years and being fascinated by caves.
I drove up to the gates, paid my fee and set off on the magnificent wooded walk beside the River Nidd. The trees are astoundingly beautiful and there is every facility for families, with a fine playground.
The cave itself is interesting and I even made a wish at the wishing well.
The calcifying pool is fascinating as is the waterfall under it.
The whole experience was, for, me a real treat. I invested in the book of Mother Shipton’s Prophecies and it makes for very interesting reading.
Having indulged myself with such a treat, the next day I tackled clearing the garden and made a new bed.
Between dog walks this was the task for a couple of days.
On Friday I went over to Flockton, not far from Huddersfield, to collect some Zwartbles fleeces kindly offered to me by a lady and gentleman who have a smallholding there.
As I approached the area I was impressed by the magnificence of the Emley Moor Mast nearby.
I had a coffee and delicious cake with my hosts, made friends with their five dogs, including Rhodesian ridgebacks and a French Bulldog.
They showed me their sheep and I was able to admire their chickens – Rhode Island reds and some bantams – before being entranced by their Indian Runner ducks.
Having had a wonderful hour there, I left and decided to follow the sign for the National Mining Museum nearby.
It was, I decided, my week for treats and I pulled in and had a ride on the little train, went to an interesting show about the history of the Davy lamp, one of which I have an early example of.
I booked myself in for a trip underground and having handed over anything that was dangerous, like electronic items, I was provided with a helmet and light and a group of about 20 of us descended down into the coal mine.
Our guide, Dave, was really good and made it a very interesting tour filled with history and science.
The only thing that spoiled it for me was the way some of the children in the group behaved, flashing their lights into the eyes of everyone else and shouting and screeching while our guide was talking.
Once up on the surface I had a good stroll around the centre and I think it is a superb adventure for well-behaved children and a very reasonable price for a great day.
As I drove away and got on to the M1, the clutch on my car went and I was in trouble.
I managed to get off the motorway and found somewhere off the road to park and was rescued by the RAC, who sent a breakdown truck.
The driver, Josh, was such a nice young man and soon he was bringing me and my car home, and even dropped the car off at my garage. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/local/wolds-diary-with-sue-woodcock-1-8064399 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/5a5e273cc4ef4f55f5a80681e0983ae1eae31f827aa890d32563802e486c3594.json |

A stunning unbeaten century from Ben Luntley laid the foundations for Cloughton's 188-6 in their rain-reduced 40 overs, the in-form batsman striking a brilliant 114 not out, Jack Hakings weighing in with 38, while Eddie Rounthwaite snapped up 4-43 from his 11 overs.
George Rounthwaite then smacked 46, but top bowling from Gary Jordan (4-47) saw Settrington all out for 176 with eight balls remaining.
Grindale's relegation was confirmed by their six-wicket loss at hme to Brompton, Ross Triffit the star man for the visitors, taking 6-34 to skittle the strugglers for just 74.
Triffit (21) and Karl Theobald (24) then made sure of the 18-point win.
Wykeham cruised to an eight-wicket win at Thornton Dale, Gareth Barnard bagging 4-13 as the hosts slipped to 115 despite a gritty 41 from Dave Scott.
In-form James Bryant then smashed 68 to wrap up the comfortable win.
The game between hosts Wold Newton and Sherburn was evenly-balanced when the heavens opened to halt play with the home side on 76-2 chasing Sherburn's 169 all out, in which Ben Simpson scored a cracking 70.
Cayton 2nds boosted their chances of beating the drop as they moved within two points of third-from-bottom Wold Newton thanks to a stunning eight-wicket win at Staxton 2nds, also placing a massive dent in the latter's promotion hopes.
A swift 52 not out looked to have steered Staxton to an impressive 172-7, but fine batting from Cayton captain Simon Glave and Dave Walker, who hit 83 not out and 63 not out respectively, saw the visitors to a vital victory.
Staithes continued their march to the Premier Division title with a 14th successive win, easing past visitors Filey by 60 runs.
The hosts made it to 221-6 in a match reduced to 37 overs a side due the wet weather, Simon Bowes hammered 57 Chris Morrison struck 48 and Richard Hegarty 47 as the leaders reigned supreme.
David Brannan's 68 gave Filey hope but three wickets from Morrison and 4-41 from Tom Steyert saw the Clarence Drive side dismissed for 161.
Staithes head to second-placed Staxton next weekend knowing a win will secure their third title with a week to spare.
Staxton were made to work hard for their seven-run win at relegation-battling Ebberston.
Left-handed batsman Dave Morris led the way for the visitors with a fine 78 in his side's 188-8, Reece Milner taking 3-34 for the hosts.
Ebberston's Ben Lockey (54) and Eddie Craggs (37) gave Ebberston a fighting chance but 4-33 from off-spinner Linden Gray pegged the hosts back to 181-0 and they remain in the relegation zone.
Gregg Chadwick smashed an excellent 108 as Seamer thrashed visitors Scalby by 131 runs.
Anthony Jenkinson added 50 and Craig Baker 43 as the hosts amassed 257-5, Connor Carson the top Scalby bowler with 3-47.
A stunning spell of 6-31 from Adam Morris and 3-44 from fellow pace bowler Liam Bennett then saw Scalby skittled for 126.
Flixton 2nds boosted their battle against the drop with a two-wicket win at Forge Valley.
The visitors won the toss and opted to bowl and this seemed a poor choice as opener Tom Brough smacked a rapid 43, Nishadh P Wijesinghe 41 and Joe Bradshaw 25.
Flixton refused to buckle and wickets began to fall with Matt Mason taking a superb 6-43 and Connor Stephenson claiming 4-47 as Valley sank to 170 all out in 35.5 overs.
Ehtesham took 4-37 in Flixton’s reply to keep Valley in touch, but 27 from Stephenson and an unbeaten 34 from skipper Mark Shackley saw his team home with 2.4 overs remaining.
Charlie Allott's magnificent century helped Nawton Grange earn a 104-run win at Heslerton.
The batsman smashed seven sixes and eight fours as he made his way to 103 in their 218-8, Paul Kinghorn and Andy Slaughter bagging three wickets apiece for the hosts.
Paul Bowes, who struck nine forus and a couple of sixes in his 70, was the only batsman to shine as his side sank to 114 in reply in the face of fierce bowling from Nick Thornicroft (3-19) and Nathan Marwood (3-31).

A former Yorkshire police officer has condemned Humberside Police’s decision not to prosecute a Porsche driver who was caught on camera almost causing a head-on collision.
Driver Damian Hodgson was on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington when the woman, at the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne, put her foot down to overtake on a blind bend.
Police are not taking any action against the Porsche driver.
The dash cam footage shows the driver overtake Mr Hodgson, from Carnaby, and a Citroen in front, before seeing an oncoming Skoda.
The Skoda mounted the grass verge while the Porsche veered into the Citroen - leaving both damaged - before speeding away. Despite “overwhelming evidence” Humberside Police are taking no action due to no complaints or injuries from the incident.
“I am very surprised that the police are taking no action against a woman who was very close to causing a fatal collision,” said former officer John Ponter.
Mr Hodgson, who had five passengers including his wife and children, aged two and five, stopped to speak to the Skoda driver, whose car was unharmed. A girl aged around 10 in the front passenger seat was in tears.
The woman (in pink) following the incident who was driving in her slippers.
Mr Hodgson said he stopped further down the road when he saw the elderly couple in the Citroen exchanging details with the Porsche driver after cosmetic damage was caused to both vehicles.
He said: “The Porsche driver told me she thought she was going to die. She was shaking like a leaf and on the edge of crying as she knew she had done wrong. She said she always overtakes at that spot. She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers.”
Mr Hodgson said he offered the footage of the incident, on August 14 at 5.15pm, to the drivers of the Skoda and Citroen for evidence, but both declined. Mr Ponter said: “If police have not received a complaint then they should be making enquiries to get a prosecution for this diabolical piece of driving.
Police need to set an example in this kind of situation and at the moment they are encouraging people to be reckless. If the woman in question now goes on to repeat the manoeuvre then there could be serious consequences. The police then would have to answer why they didn’t nip it in the bud earlier."
A Humberside Police spokesman said: “Realistically, officers can only investigate when there are complaints from people directly involved or if someone has been hurt.
“In this case there has been no such complaint and the Porsche driver in the footage did stop at the scene and exchange insurance details with other driver, making them compliant with the Road Traffic Act.
In addition, no one was hurt, therefore no further action will be taken against the driver of the Porsche. The force would like to thank the person who has handed over the footage of the incident, as it will assist with any future investigation if required.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/police-to-take-no-action-on-slipper-driver-1-8090246 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/a4e3f573b4b11e5ffd4c736ac78767bfde3bd397bd50ab839c930da8a937f76e.json |

The charity, which provides more than 20,000 individual passenger journeys each year, many of these to people living in Pocklington, needs £16,000 to buy a new vehicle with a hydraulic wheelchair lift, to enable it to carry more disabled people.
Eliza during the tough challenge.
Beverley Community Lift is a much-loved and relied-on service helping people in the Beverley, Market Weighton and Pocklington areas. The team pride themselves on offering much more than a door-to-door travel service.
It has so far pulled together £12,600 from various fundraising initiatives.
Charity chief executive Jan Stainforth said: “Beverley Community Lift helps a wide variety of people who cannot easily access public transport, and some of our most regular passengers are disabled and in wheelchairs.
“We currently have a Fiat Doblo minibus for picking up wheelchair passengers.
However, the only access is via a ramp which is not easy to use with some passengers, and not very dignified either. With demand from wheelchair users increasing, we need a properly adapted smaller vehicle, with a special lift plus four additional seats for other passengers such as carers or family. At the moment we have to use one of our bigger minibuses, which is not cost effective and very often not available, as they are also used by community groups.
“This is much more than a bus to us.
“It’s literally a vehicle for helping to improve people’s lives and combat social isolation and loneliness.
“Our charity, and our loyal fleet of drivers, are friends and companions to the people we serve and this bus will enable them to afford our users just that little bit more dignity and care.”
The vehicle they have their eye on is a second-hand Renault Master, adapted for wheelchair access, hence the fundraising target.
The fundraising appeal was kicked off in late 2015 by Jan’s colleagues from the BNI Wolds business group, based in Beverley. They decided to organise a charity James Bond themed ball earlier this year, which raised £7,123.
Beverley Community Lift, based in Corporation Road, Beverley, currently has nine buses, all named after flowers, including Poppy, Rosie and Snowdrop.
The BNI-sponsored bus will be called Begonia, echoing the main letters from BNI. Members of the group continue to support Jan, but now they are keen to open up their appeal to the general public, so that Beverley Community Lift can take delivery of its bus sooner rather than later.
Anyone who would like to help Beverley Community Lift reach its target can do so by:
Donating directly via its website at http://www.bclift.org.uk/Donations.html.
Booking a holiday via the TopKat Travel independent local travel agent, which has pledged to donate 10 per cent of its commission on every holiday to Beverley Community Lift under its “Partners in Travel” scheme.

He was aged 90 years.
The service was conducted by Tony Nolan.
John was born in Sancton on 22 August, 1925 to parents Emily and William. He had six brothers and one sister. Life in those time were tough and the children had to eat their meals all standing up.
He attended Sancton school leaving at the age of 14. He started work at a farm in Sancton where he was in charge of six horses that were used to plough the fields. He was known as ‘The Third Lad’ which meant he was behind the foreman and the first and the second lad in the pecking order, this meant that John had to wait for the others to go first so he ended up with used wet towels after having a wash or at meal times the only food left for John after the others had eaten, was perhaps bread and dripping.
It was a hard working life and John captured many of his memories of his early life in an article entitled ‘Memories of a Third Lad’ which was published in the book ‘East Yorkshire – Within Living Memory’.
John moved on to Riplingham Farm at Sancton, which was know locally as ‘Rat Abbey’. This was because rats used to run around on the shelves whilst they ate their meagre breakfast.
His next move was to Cold Harbour Farm at Bishop Burton and it was whilst working there he met his wife to be Doris who was a land girl, at a dance, they married on 18 June, 1949 at the Parish Church of Southcoates in Hull. After their marriage they moved to live and work at Winestead. They went on to have three children: June, Sue and Malcolm. In 1953 the family moved back to Cold Harbour Farm where John was foreman and Doris catered for the farm lads that worked there.
John used to take the children to Bridlington on holiday once a year whilst Doris stayed home looking after the farm workers.
John’s last farming job was with Donald Speck at Middleton where he took a job as a pigman and produced top grade pigs. John was also very good at hedge laying and he won the East Riding Federation of Young Farmers Award for hedge laying in 1960 and he was very proud of this. He retired from farm work in 1986 and he had only ever had one week off in his working life with flu. Doris and John moved to Bainton to live in a bungalow, he continued working and got a job as a gardener in Lund, He loved that job and was held in very high regard by the Booth family. He later worked with his son Malcolm cleaning windows.
John and Doris loved to go for drives out at the weekend especially to the Moors or the sea fronts.
They were very happy living in Bainton and made many good friends there.
They loved spending time with their grandchildren – Nicky, Joe, Danny, Samantha, David, Joshua and Bethany, they also have twelve great grandchildren – Nicolette, Miles, Isabella, Ella, Huxley, Rheya, Matthew, Joseph, Jake, Charlie, Kitty and Willow, he adored them all.
He gave up work when his beloved Doris became ill and he looked after her until she went into a care home. She sadly died in 1996 after being with John for nearly 50 happy years.
John decided to take up playing golf and bowls. He loved golf and played for the EGGS and played bowls at Bainton. He was very good at both and won various trophies.
After several falls he went into Southlands where he was very happy and well looked after.
He will be greatly missed by his family.

Lees’s men face Kent in the quarter-final of the Royal London Cup at Canterbury today (2pm start).
Yorkshire are also in the hunt to win the County Championship and the NatWest T20 Blast, lying second in the Championship – 26 points behind leaders Middlesex with a game in hand – and through to T20 Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday.
“It’s another chance for us to go a step closer (to the treble), and I’m confident that we can give a good account of ourselves at Kent,” said Lees.
“When you’re still alive in all three competitions at this stage of the season, it’s obviously an exciting time for players and spectators, and it could all come together for us quite nicely.
“But there’s a lot of hard work ahead, and we’ll need a bit of luck along the way.
“We can only do what we’ve been doing all season, which is to go about our business game by game.”
Lees believes a good result today would be the perfect boost going into Finals Day.
But he is under no illusion as to the size of the task.
“Kent are a very good one-day team,” he said.
“They’ve got some talented and dangerous players, and we’ll have to play very well.
“But we’re going down there with a strong team ourselves, and it would be nice to take a win from the quarter-final into T20 Finals Day, which would give us a lot of confidence.”
Yorkshire have England stars Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance available for today’s match and also Finals Day, with Root and Bairstow then rejoining England for the one-day series against Pakistan.
Their presence will strengthen a Yorkshire team that have played some excellent one-day cricket of late, not least in the T20 Blast.
Having been bottom of the North Group at halfway, Yorkshire won six of their last seven matches to reach the quarter-finals.
They then produced one of their best displays of the summer to thrash Glamorgan by 90 runs in Cardiff to set up a semi-final against Durham at Finals Day.
“It was a brilliant win in Cardiff, and it would be great if we could produce a repeat performance against Durham,” said Lees.
“Durham have got Stokesy back (Ben Stokes), which will obviously strengthen them, but we’ve got our England lads, too, and it’s going to be a cracking game.
“We’ve been playing some great T20 cricket at just the right time, and I’m confident in the strength of the team and the cricket that we’re playing.
“Everyone’s been contributing, and it’s a real team effort to get to this stage.”
Yorkshire looked down and out when they were struggling in the group phase, but Lees insists that he never lost faith.
He always felt that a talented squad would come back fighting.
“Everybody was writing us off after the first few games, but we always had that sense of belief that if we got a couple of wins under our belt, then we could get on a roll,” he added.
“We just needed a few wins to get some confidence, and look what that’s done for us.
“It was a frustrating start to the tournament, there’s no doubt about that, but we were confident in our tactics and selections, and I always had the belief in the lads.
“I always believed in the ability that we have in the dressing room, and once we got on that roll, we’ve been hard to stop.”

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.
Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.
"Fans can take part in one of our Ballroom and Latin classes led by Darren and Lilia.

However I had been invited to go and talk to the delightful group at Rufforth again, and needed to find a way to get there.
A couple of bus trips were a possibility, but would have taken ages, and my wonderful garage offered me a courtesy car, while they were fitting a new clutch to my car.
They had slotted me in at very short notice and I knew they were busy so set off to walk there but a lovely neighbour of mine saw me and kindly gave me a lift. I had taken the satnav from my car and it took me to the area but seemed to have hysterics finding the location, but memory kicked in and I found the necessary car park in plenty of time.
The talk went well and I even won a small raffle prize, some hand cream which I am sorely in need of after my recent gardening exploits.
I returned the car for use by another customer and took the dogs for a decent walk.
I am fortunate to have footpaths close to home, which are often very busy but on this occasion rather deserted, and the dogs had a good run.
The next day some friends of mine came over from Scarborough, and we went to the superb water lily gardens at Burnby Hall Gardens here in Pocklington.
It is an internationally renowned site for water lilies and just at the moment the lilies are in beautiful bloom.
Unknown to us we had picked The Teddy Bear Picnic day and there were families of children happily picnicking on the beautiful lawns everywhere we looked.
One of the delights of the lakes are the fabulous and huge carp that inhabit the water, which you can feed with pots of the correct food that is sold for the purpose.
The fish are remarkably tame and gather at the water’s edge with mouths gaping open waiting for the food. Some of them are brightly coloured and very attractive.
Families are asked to supervise their children for safety reasons and most do so, but one little girl had acquired a stick and when she threw the food in to the water, she then tried to hit these valuable fish.
My friend politely explained to her why this was not a good thing to do, and seconds later she was doing it again, and this time I shouted at her and told her to stop.
She reluctantly did so and thought it was very funny.
We decided we were not unpaid babysitters and headed off to have a coffee at the café and then went home to my place where we had a lunch outside in the sunshine. Having put the world to rights, they left.
A couple of days later some other friends came over for the day from Bridlington. I had by this time got my car back.
The lady had brought a spinning wheel and needed help with it and we had a hilarious morning while she reminded herself of how to spin as she hadn’t done it for years.
I was able to donate some fleeces and some bits and pieces to her husband for his craft work and the day went fast as it does with invigorating conversation and humour and I enjoyed it.
So did the dogs who thought they were great, Brillo lay in total ecstasy on his lap and my collie, Fair, lovingly washed his feet.
On Saturday I went with the cricket team to Cawood, to their very pleasant cricket ground and had a tranquil and calm afternoon scoring in the company of an interesting and pleasant gentleman.
On Sunday I went to the South Cave Falconry Centre and had a wonderful hour or so, watching the birds of prey there. They even let me handle one! They have some rare and beautiful creatures which are all in excellent condition.
We had an interesting few minutes locating one that had decided to have an unauthorised fly around but soon came back for a feed.
There were some lovely families there with children who were quite entranced and very well behaved.
I had actually gone to talk about the fleeces from their alpacas but ended up admiring all their animals, from bantams basking in the sun to inquisitive pygmy goats, and a charming rabbit. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/local/wold-diary-with-sue-woodcock-1-8078031 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/91a0d5a34df0a1ee23c3e7c8d297c26254a8d64334c2a548ef72ab6c16c2b81f.json |

On the other, when they last reached a one-day final in 2002, Yorkshire beat yesterday’s opponents in the semi-finals at Headingley before going on to beat Somerset – who contest the other semi against Warwickshire today – by six wickets at Lord’s.

Something had to give, and on a grey day at Headingley, that something was the hope that Surrey’s latest semi-final trip to Leeds might prove a good omen.
After the visitors scored 255-7, Steven Davies leading the way with 104 and Ben Foakes making a one-day career-best 90, Yorkshire came up short at 236 as their semi-final hoodoo continued apace.
Before a disappointing crowd of 4,836, which was not the bumper gate Yorkshire had been hoping for on Bank Holiday Sunday, the hosts made an excellent start after winning the toss.
Jack Brooks had Dominic Sibley lbw with the final delivery of the second over – umpire Peter Hartley deciding that the ball would not have drifted down leg-side, as replays suggested it might – and Tim Bresnan picked up the key wicket of Kumar Sangakkara with the fourth delivery of the third over.
Surrey's Steven Davies celebrates what proved to be a match-winning century against Yorkshire at Headingley in the Royal London Cup semi-final. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA .
The Sri Lankan, who had chopped the previous ball to the point boundary to get off the mark, drove on the up to cover, where Azeem Rafiq picked out the catch.
Sangakkara, who won the quarter-final against Northants with an unbeaten 130, has a mystifyingly poor record against Yorkshire; in eight innings against them in all cricket, he has managed 179 runs at 22.37.
From 8-2, things could only get better for Surrey, and they did as Davies and Rory Burns added 53 in 12 overs.
Davies, silky and stylish through the offside, injected impetus and Burns kept him good company, sensibly giving his partner as much strike as possible. Just as Surrey were starting to seize control, Matthew Waite, the 20-year-old making his first appearance in this year’s tournament, broke the stand with his opening ball from the Kirkstall Lane end.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan (left) and Will Rhodes encourage each other during the run chase against Surrey at Headingley yesterday. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA.
It was an innocuous leg-stump half-volley, and Burns carelessly helped it to Steve Patterson at deep fine-leg.
Waite might have had a wicket with his fourth ball, too, when Davies, on 43, drove back a return chance, but the ball seemed to come back a little slower than Waite expected, and the opportunity was lost.
It was another 24 overs before Yorkshire struck again, Waite finally getting Davies when he wellied a low full toss to deep square.
Thus ended a stand of 130 between Davies and Foakes, which beat Surrey’s previous best for the fourth wicket in one-day cricket against Yorkshire of 110 between Monty Lynch and Andrew Needham at Bradford in 1985.
Waite captured his third wicket when Sam Curran highlighted Surrey’s tendency towards over-funkiness by trying one ramp shot too many, stepping away so far to the offside that he was unable to prevent the ball clattering into leg stump.
Surrey ideally needed one of Davies or Foakes to be there at the end, but Foakes followed his partner back to the pavilion when he was sixth out at 249, ramping Bresnan to Brooks at short fine-leg.
Ollie Pope, an 18-year-old making his List A debut, chipped in with 20, but boundaries proved elusive as Surrey failed to summon a grandstand finish.
Yorkshire’s bowlers deserved credit for restricting them, and Pope was run-out off the final ball of the innings as only 63 came off the last 10 overs.
It felt as though Yorkshire had their noses in front at halfway, but those noses were put out of joint when Adam Lyth hit Jade Dernbach to cover in the third over.
Alex Lees played some handsome strokes before being undone in the flight by Gareth Batty, and Yorkshire lost the key wicket of Jonny Bairstow when he chipped Stuart Meaker’s third ball to mid-wicket.
In Meaker’s second over, Gary Ballance tried to steer to third man and was caught behind, and Meaker claimed his third victim in nine balls when Jack Leaning chopped on.
Having looked relatively comfortable at 75-2, Yorkshire were suddenly 81-5 and looking anything but in control, the soft nature of their dismissals undoubtedly a frustration.
But Yorkshire showed characteristic fight as Bresnan and Waite combined in a stand of 80 in 16 that changed the mood and momentum.
Waite, impressively unflustered for one so young, showed a fine temperament and some deft touches before falling for 38, the ball perhaps stopping in the pitch as he lobbed Sam Curran to Batty at mid-off. Bresnan then added 46 in eight overs with Will Rhodes, who was brilliantly run-out by a direct hit from Tom Curran at point as he tried to steal a single off Dernbach.
Tom Curran had Rafiq caught at long-on and Patterson held at mid-wicket, and Dernbach ended things with seven balls remaining when Bresnan picked out long-off. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/royal-london-cup-semi-final-misery-continues-for-yorkshire-as-they-come-up-short-against-surrey-1-8093704 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/1a5788e6501f2746407126b2e7657a9c3e123f550449b69faa508b4a8ad8ccde.json |

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

Kevin Jenkins’ set, brilliantly compact, looks like it has always been a part of the Bistro. As lunch is served at your table, you are no longer only an audience member, but part of the action.
The plot revolves around Melanie (Louise Shuttleworth) who may experience a time shift, or she may be mentally unstable. Certainly the waiter (Leigh Symonds) is off-hand with her.
Enter Cora (Rachel Caffrey), incognito in best Hollywood cliché style - dark glasses and headscarf. She is meeting Freddy (Andy Cryer), her current squeeze. Melanie is astonished as, seated at her table, they begin to plot the murder of Cora’s husband. That’s enough about the plot. The rest of this review could easily concern itself with peeling back the layers of illusion and reality and still not reveal every subtlety.
However, as we have long ago come to expect, the fun in an Ayckbourn play is interleaved with some serious social comment. Failure to communicate, desperate personal lives and gradations of social class are all in the mix. Somehow, Hitchcock is there as well.
Great fun, and excellent value for money.
Consuming Passions runs until October 8 with some evening performances in the McCarthy.

Yorkshire failed in their attempt to win the NatWest T20 Blast for the first time when they lost by seven runs to Durham in the semi-final at Edgbaston on Saturday.
However, Gillespie’s men are still in the hunt for a hat-trick of County Championships and they are through to the Royal London Cup semi-finals for a second successive season, with Yorkshire determined to put behind them their T20 heartbreak.
“We were bitterly disappointed to lose the T20 semi,” said Gillespie, “but there’s still everything to play for in the next few weeks.
“We’re still in the 50-over comp and the Championship, and we’ll dust ourselves down and crack on.
“We can look back on the T20 campaign by and large with a lot of pride, considering the way that we started the tournament (Yorkshire won only one of their first seven games before winning six of the last seven to reach the knockout stages).
“It’s a tough one to take, losing the semi, but there’s still plenty to fight for in the next few weeks, and I know that the lads will bounce back strongly.”
Yorkshire came up against a world-class display from England pace bowler Mark Wood, who captured a T20 career-best 4-25 from four overs after Durham scored 156-6 in the second semi-final, Northants beating Nottinghamshire by eight runs in the first semi-final.
Wood twice took two wickets in three balls – including the key scalps of England batsmen Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance – after Ben Stokes had earlier top-scored with 56 on his return to the Durham side after a calf injury.
“Mark Wood bowled beautifully,” said Gillespie, with Wood following that performance with 1-25 in the final against Northants, who went on to take the trophy with a four-wicket win.
“We were going along quite nicely and then we lost two quick wickets (Bairstow and Ballance), and we didn’t quite recover from that.
“I certainly felt that it was a gettable total, especially with the strength and depth of our batting line-up, and we should have chased those down.
“We can look at all sorts of reasons as to why that didn’t happen, but the facts are that we didn’t get the runs and Durham played very well.”
With hindsight, Gillespie felt that Yorkshire might have made more of an effort to see off Wood, although that was clearly easier said than done.
The 26-year-old right-armer, who only recently returned to action after ankle surgery, was bowling at 90mph and he would have been a handful for any opposition.
“Maybe we just needed to soak up the pressure a little bit more and get through his (Wood’s) spell, knowing that he only had four of the 20 overs, and maybe there are some lessons to be learned there,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Surrey in the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup at Headingley on Sunday.
“We just weren’t able to win the key moments, and Wood took the wind out of our sails.
“Any cricket watcher could see that he was used very well by the captain; he was brought on to take wickets and put the pressure on us, which is exactly what happened.”
Yorkshire captain Alex Lees echoed Gillespie’s sentiments at the end of an encouraging T20 campaign for the club overall, with Yorkshire having only once previously reached Finals Day.
Lees hit the second-highest score of 22 on a day when Adam Lyth (64) led the Yorkshire chase.
“Woody tipped the scales, and when you twice get two wickets in one over, it certainly puts the opposition on the back foot,” said Lees.
“We’re bitterly disappointed, and I just think that we lacked somebody in the middle order to make a contribution.
“Overall, we had a good tournament after everyone had written us off after the first few games, and we showed strength of character to come back and qualify and reach Finals Day. That’s testament to the group of players that we have, and the lads’ work ethic and prep was second to none.”
Attention now returns to the Championship, with Yorkshire going into tomorrow’s game against Notts at Scarborough in second place in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.

From the outside, you cannot help but look at the last game of the season versus Middlesex at Lord’s, although there is still a lot of cricket to be played up until then and Middlesex got over the line in good fashion this week and are playing some good cricket.
When you get to this stage of the season, you talk about holding your nerve and we have been there before.

For us, Leesy is coming into some form and Lythy is and me now as well and, hopefully, we can use that to really start hitting our straps.
I was happy to contribute with 83 in the Roses game at Old Trafford. I wanted three figures and was desperate to get there, but I did occupy the crease for a long period of time and in the context of the game, it was an important knock and I was pleased to get runs.
Coming to the business end of the season, I had said before that we can get our players in form, then it sets us up nicely.
I was pleased to contribute. In the context of the game, there was a lot of rubbish flying around on the field and it was nice to shut up a few of their lads.
We needed 219 from 30 overs at tea on the last day, but decided that the target was just too much and shook hands on the draw.
You have to trust the batsmen out there, I guess, and their decision and the pitch was deteriorating.
There was quite a lot of spin and with our left-handers in the top-order, it was probably a bridge too far. And I think that it was a good statement with us being none down as well.
The last thing we wanted to do was be holding out for a draw, seven or eight wickets down or something like that and it was a decent statement from us, even though we didn’t play our best cricket at times. We came out with our heads held high.
If we had been chasing 150 or 160 going into that last 18 to 20 overs, then it would have given us a good chance. We just felt it was too many to chase.
I don’t think that Lancashire would have gone for it either, to be honest.
Overall, it was a solid draw, although I was a bit disappointed with the way we bowled on the morning of day two as I thought we were exceptional on day one and held our lines and lengths and were patient.
All that hard work was undone by poor bowling on the second morning and it really put us behind the eight-ball.
But the encouraging thing is we got past the follow-on and got back into the game.
Azeem Rafiq, Jack Leaning and David Willey all got their Yorkshire caps before the game and it was a fantastic moment.
The best part of my job is to give caps out like that and see what it means to the lads.
In particular, you could see it for the two lads who have come right through the age groups. To eventually get a Yorkshire cap; you could see the emotion in their faces when they received them.
It was good for David, too. He is starting to win games for us now in the short-ball format, although he probably has not played as many red-ball games as he would have liked and has had a few injury niggles and going into that Old Trafford game, he had a hamstring injury.
But he is starting to win games of cricket and that is why we signed him; for us to be in the hunt – in the white-ball Twenty20 and 50-over competition.
It’s finals day today in the T20 and I am looking forward to it and am going down there and will be in and around the squad.
It is a big day for the club and we want to keep our name in the hat for all three formats and trophies.
Obviously, I would have been liked to have been a part of the white-ball stuff. But when you look down the team sheet when all the international players come back, it is a bloody tough side to get into! | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-lord-s-showdown-is-looming-and-we-re-really-beginning-to-hit-our-straps-1-8079356 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/b08a33cdf075c17d8b4addba9be54ab094e0e600622c61128460c1e3c967381d.json |

I was challenged by this question a few days ago when speaking with someone whose life changed in an instant as a result of an incident over which they had no control.
The action of someone else has now drastically changed a number of lives.
We are all familiar with the media coverage of business decisions that mean job losses for many often after decades of faithful service, or perhaps we have seen the Olympian who has trained and committed years of effort only to see their dreams and aspirations shattered by a stumble or by the action of another.
Perhaps the change in your life came at 8am on a Thursday morning when exam results meant a change, a dream realised or perhaps shattered... whatever the outcome it means your life will alter,
Whatever the incidents the consequence for all is life changing. So back to the question how do we handle that change?
Do we embrace it and seek to make the best of it, for in time even the worst can bring about circumstances that allow us to know and feel the love and support of others and we gradually recover with a sense of the love that surrounds us.
Or do we go to ground and lick our wounds, feeling let down and hurt, deserted by those whom we had expected to come to our aid.
For this indeed is a common reaction and yet even out of a time like this we have all seen people slowly emerge, slowly begin to trust and even to hope again.
If the change is one we welcome it too will impact on us and others for going away to study, whilst celebrated and eagerly anticipated, will result in challenges and separation.
We all need support through times of change, we all need patience to because people react at different speeds...time as a huge element here and we need to give others the time to respond to the change that has occurred.
Perhaps it is a result of our 24 hour instant society that we expect people to move on, to get on with life and we lose sight of a long held biblical truth that St Peter expressed when he said... ‘But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day’.
For the Christian the impact of change is no different, the difference is the faith that allows us to recognise that we are not alone in any circumstances for we have the presence of God whatever befalls.
We take the time to react and we move at our individual pace hopefully giving others the dignity of allowing them their space and pace too, for if God is patient with us surely it’s the least we can do for others.
It’s been a privilege to write this column.

Visit www.joepasquale.com to find out more about Joe Pasquale.
Here, in the run-up to his eagerly anticipated return to Bridlington Spa, “Pulse” author Steve Rudd catches up with him…
Q. Hi Joe, how are things?
A. So far, 2016 has been great! I finished panto in Southampton in January, then appeared on the latest series of “Tonight at the London Palladium” shows, which were hosted by Bradley Walsh.
Brad and I have been friends for more than 30 years; we met doing talent shows together as teenagers.
We have been through lots of trials and tribulations together over the years.
Brad asked me: “Do you fancy doing a bit with me on Tonight at the London Palladium? We’ll fly you across the stage, and you can do what you like up there.”
So I did 10 minutes, hanging in the air, dressed in funny costumes. You have to wear a big harness between your legs when you’re flying; shame it gives you trouble with your trousers.
Umm… “Trouble with Your Trousers” – that could be the title of my next show! I’ve recently filmed an ITV show to be broadcast in early 2017.
Q. In the meantime, you’re back on tour, right?
A. Yes, I am, and I’m still passionate about everything I do, whether it be stand-up, panto, musicals, plays or television.
That said, nothing beats being in front of a live audience and mucking about. Life is too short, so I try and make the most of it!
Q. How do you normally prepare for a new tour?
A. I normally put together a rough running order of bits, and then I wing it on the opening night, adjusting things on a nightly basis during the tour.
That way it’s never exactly the same show twice!
Q. Are you able to memorise full monologues, or are you more into improvisation?
A. To be honest, I can do both; you have to have a good memory in this business, whether it be for stand-up, or learning scripts for plays or panto.
Q. What was it that first got you into comedy, and what do you recall of the first “paid” gig that you did?
A. I first started out calling bingo and refereeing wrestling matches!
I don’t even remember my first paid gig, as it was over 30 years ago. I know that I would’ve been very nervous, as that never leaves you... at least not if you care about it.
Q. Did you consider yourself funny at school, or is your status as “comedian extraordinaire” something that you’ve acquired over the years?
A. I wasn’t the funny one at school. I was very quiet. It wasn’t until I went into full-time work that I came out of my shell.
Q. What kind of impact, if any, did your childhood have on the type of comedy that you write and perform?
A. I think I had a very normal childhood with a working-class background.
A lot of people my age had the same background, so I can’t say that it formed my comedy bones.
I’ve got two older sisters and a younger brother.
Growing up, I was always fighting for attention.
When I was seven, my mum would say to me, ‘Here’s a bit of Lego, and here’s a bit of bread – chew on that!
Your sister’s got boyfriend problems. I’ll give you a rabbit. You can play with him, and you’ll be sorted!’
A seven-year-old is always easy to deal with; you can ask him to look after himself. The desire in me to perform probably stems back from me struggling for attention.
Q. Your comedy aside, you’re well-known for having won I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Were you in any way hesitant about going on the show, or did you jump at the chance without qualm?
Q. I won I’m a Celebrity 12 years ago, in 2004.
I had a few hesitations at first, but my agent talked me into it, and I have to say that I loved every second of it!
Q. You are now a qualified pilot, having overcome your fear of flying with, ahem, flying colours! How long have you been flying yourself around, and do you own your own plane?
A. I have a PPL and have been flying since 2006, but I don’t own my own plane; I just rent one if I want to go up!
Q. Boxing is another passion of yours. Are you not scared of doing yourself an injury?
A. I love going to the boxing gym, but I’m not scared of getting injured.
I like to think that after doing it for nine years, I can give as good as I get.
I still train at Gumshield, a gym near Eltham.
It’s brilliant exercise, and it was boxing that helped me get in shape for the London Marathon.
Q. Refocusing on your current UK tour… what do fans coming to see you at Bridlington Spa have to look forward to?
A. They can look forward to a lot of laughs.
There’ll be magic, songs, audience participation, painting… oh, and my twin brother, Raynard.
It’s a mix of my favourite stuff that I’ve done before, and a load of new material that I’ve never done before.
We will have guest appearances from Spiderman, Velma from Scooby Doo, and maybe a few dinosaurs, including a velociraptor named Vince.
There’ll also be lots of mind reading, and I will try and contact my spirit guide… but for entertainment purposes only!
Q. What are you most looking forward to about returning to the Yorkshire coast?
A. The fish and chips, with the fish straight from the sea!
Q. For anyone reading this who has always wanted to become a comedian, what advice would you give them?
A. Get in front of any and every audience you can, and develop a thick skin.
Q. Finally, how can people find out more about you and your tour?
A. Go to www.joepasquale.com
l Joe will be performing “One Man and His Bog” at Bridlington Spa on Friday 2nd September

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
360 PHOTO: Take a look around the muddy camp site where hundreds of music fans also pitched their tents at Leeds Festival - CLICK HERE.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired and Liberty Ship, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
The Sherlocks at Leeds Festival
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."

The White Rose Awards, the UK’s largest celebration of tourism, will take place at the new £11m Hall 1 at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate.
The new Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate.
More than 1,000 guests will enjoy the first awards dinner to be held at the centre’s newly-built exhibition and events hall on November 21.
The ceremony, hosted by Welcome to Yorkshire, will see more than 100 businesses go head to head across 17 categories, more than ever before.
These include gongs for hotels, recognising top customer service and highlighting the winning Taste of Yorkshire.
Colin Mellors, chairman of the White Rose Award judges, said: “Yorkshire’s tourism is a remarkable sector with fantastic hospitality, facilities and produce on offer.
The new Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate.
“Those shortlisted should feel very proud to have been selected against such strong competition. Choosing the eventual winners this year will be a really tough task.”
Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, added: “It is an honour to be hosting the first ever awards dinner at the new events hall at the Yorkshire Event Centre.
“The White Rose Awards always make for a memorable evening, so this year promises to be extra special.”
He said that the entries for the awards had been “exceptional across all categories”.
“The standard of entries just gets better every year, so huge congratulations to all those who have made the shortlist. I look forward to meeting them all in November.
“As the largest celebration of tourism in the UK, the White Rose Awards are a fitting tribute to Yorkshire’s fantastically diverse businesses that work tirelessly to help to make the county number one.”
Last year more than 1,000 people watched Take That superstar Gary Barlow and co-writer of The Girls musical, Tim Firth, being made honorary Yorkshiremen at the awards when they were held at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

She was aged 82 years.
The service was conducted by the Rev John Hughes & the organist was Mr Steven Westaway.
Margaret was born in Driffield, the second child born to Frank & Jessie Gray, and sister to Lucie and Richard. She grew up in the Langtoft area.
Margaret was born with a displaced hip which meant a very lengthy stay in Kirbymoorside Hospital as a baby which meant she walked with a limp throughout her life, but that never stopped her doing the things she wanted to do.
She attended school in Langtoft and then the Bridlington High School for Girls. During this time she was a regular attender at St Mary’ Methodist Church in Langtoft, she played the organ there on occasions her mother wasn’t doing so. She was also active in the Wesley Guild that met there. Chapel was very important to her and sustained her throughout her life. It was through her Methodist connections that she came to work as a house parent and teacher with the Methodist Charity National Children’s Home – now renamed Action for Children.
Margaret lived in at Edgeworth Home near Bolton and educated, cared for and influenced the life of hundreds of children.
Margaret loved being outdoors, especially the countryside surrounding her Langtoft home. This moulded her into a keen hiker and Youth Hostel user as she explored further and further afield.
It was at a family wedding in Scarborough that she met her cousin Brian Jones. They married at the Methodist Chapel in Langtoft in 1964. After their marriage they set up home in a cottage at Wold Farm, about 3 miles outside Langtoft, where Brian worked in the farming industry. Here Margaret carried her interest in the outdoors by focussing on the mini market garden they tended together.
Sadly Brian died in 2005, and Margaret’s worsening health , eventually meant a move to live in the Limes Care Home and for a little while recently to the Forester’s Lodge in Bridlington where she was well looked after at both.
Family Mourners: Lucie Woodmansey (sister), Richard & Barbara Gray (brother & sister in law), Susan & Steven Duffin (niece & Husband), David Woodmaney (nephew), Lilian Mason.

A Royal London Cup semi-final looms on the horizon but, for now, Yorkshire’s attention returns to the Specsavers County Championship.
England's Stuart Broad is absent from the Notts line up Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
They are second in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.
And this week’s match against Nottinghamshire at Scarborough represents that game in hand.
It comes against a side who are bottom of the league and staring down the barrel of relegation.
Mathematically, it is not a must-win fixture, for there are still four to play after this match.
But it presents an obvious opportunity for Yorkshire to close the gap on Middlesex, and to close it to just two points if they can claim the maximum 24.
Yorkshire travel to second-bottom Hampshire next week and host third-bottom Durham the following week, before ending their campaign at home to Somerset and away to Middlesex.
A hat-trick of titles is still in their hands, but you sense that they need to seize the present moment.
It will not be easy.
Not only is the weather unpredictable at this time of year, rendering victories already gained like gold dust, but sides such as Notts are scrapping for points for different reasons – namely, their First Division survival.
Trent Bridge is arguably the finest ground in the country – at least outside of Lord’s, and with all due respect to Scarborough –but it faces the unpalatable prospect of Second Division cricket.
It will be extremely tough for Notts to beat a strong Yorkshire team at Scarborough, a ground where Notts have won only once in 12 matches, indeed, but that does not mean that they will be pushovers in what has been a tight division.
Yorkshire have a good recent record in the Championship at North Marine Road, but they lost on their last outing there in early July – an innings defeat to Middlesex that they hope will not have the same look in retrospect that Durham’s win there did in 2013, when it provided the impetus for the visitors to go on and pip Jason Gillespie’s team to the title.
Yorkshire, on paper, should be too strong for Notts, and yet the visitors possess some talented players.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, is out with an ankle injury, and there is no Jake Ball or Alex Hales, who are on one-day international duty along with Yorkshire’s Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid.
But Notts have plenty of seasoned campaigners – not least the evergreen Chris Read and Samit Patel.
First-team coach Gillespie is certainly not taking Notts for granted as his side go in search of their fourth win of the Championship campaign.
“It’s going to be a massive challenge,” said Gillespie.
“Notts are a very good side, and although they haven’t played the cricket they’d like in the Championship, they’re an incredibly dangerous team and they’ve got some real match-winners.
“We need to play at our best if we’re going to compete with them, and we’ve got to make sure that we tick all the boxes.
“We’ve got a good record at Scarborough in recent times, and hopefully we can build on that this week.”
A week of inactivity for Middlesex would be as good a week as any for the champions to strike, with the leaders battling problems of their own.
With pace bowler Steven Finn currently out with a hamstring injury, Middlesex have been dealt another blow with the news that former Notts batsman Adam Voges will not be returning to captain them for their last four games, with Cricket Australia wanting him to rest his own hamstring problem.
Middlesex return to action next week when they travel to Warwickshire before visiting Notts the following week.
They continue their programme away to Lancashire before the potentially key fixture with Yorkshire in late September.
Notts, who are 14 points adrift at the bottom, really need something from this week’s fixture.
Mick Newell, their coach, is considering changes to his batting line-up, with Root’s brother, Billy, among those who could come into the team along with fellow batsman Tom Moores, the 19-year-old son of former England coach Peter Moores.
Whoever he selects, Newell is conscious of the need for immediate improvement.
“We’re in a mess in the Championship,” he admitted.
“We’ve got to try and get out of the bottom two.
“This is a really big game, and I’m not sure where the pressure sits because they’re trying to get to the top and we’re obviously trying to get off the bottom.
“We’ve got to find a way of winning games.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-yorkshire-lookint-to-seize-the-moment-in-championship-title-bid-1-8083109 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/4e840d4dfa3124e0570e98564302c36cff943164ffced1f9450702d08fb6ef83.json |

Yorkshire lost by 10 runs to Hampshire in the final at Cardiff on their only previous appearance at Finals Day.
Yorkshire's Azeem Rafiq
They have waited a long time to erase the memory of that setback, and director of cricket Moxon feels it will drive the players on at Edgbaston today.
“It was tough losing that final, and it whetted the appetite to try and win the tournament in the future,” said Moxon.

“Clearly it’s taken longer than we would have liked to get back there, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us, given the team that we’ve got on paper, to go one step further and hopefully win the competition.
“With our England players available, we’ve got a very good team, but clearly it’s about what happens on the day.
“T20, in particular, is all about how you perform on the day, and there’s four good teams involved, each of which is capable of winning it.”
Yorkshire take on Durham in the second semi-final at 2.30pm. Notts and Northants meet in the first semi at 11am, with the final taking place at 6.45pm.
“Durham are a very good team,” said Moxon.
“They’ve got match-winners in the likes of Ben Stokes and Mark Wood.
“We’ve got to be at our very best and, if we are, we can certainly beat them and hopefully go all the way and win the thing.
“The T20 is something we haven’t won before, so it’s important to us, and it would be nice to get that monkey off our backs.”
That Yorkshire even have a chance of erasing the memory of 2012 is a minor miracle given that they were bottom of the North Group at the halfway stage.
Yorkshire won only one of their opening seven games before winning six of their last seven to reach the quarter-finals.
“T20 is all about finding a method and I think that we’ve found it,” said Moxon.
“It’s taken hard work and, to a certain extent, failure for us to find it, because clearly the things that we were doing at the start of the competition weren’t working.
“From a batting point of view, we’ve worked on the areas in which we’re trying to strike the ball. They’re much better areas now.
“We’d found ourselves getting into trouble by playing too square of the wicket, so, as a consequence, we are hitting the ball a lot straighter now.
“It’s probably taken too long to change and rectify, but that’s been the biggest thing as far as the batting is concerned.
“Bowling-wise, having the skills that are required, the change-ups, and having the ability to bowl the change-ups (different deliveries) that are needed at various times in the innings, we’ve got better at that as well.
“As for our fielding, I think that’s been outstanding generally.”
Moxon was particularly pleased with Yorkshire’s fielding when Glamorgan were clinically beaten by 90 runs in the quarter-final in Cardiff.
David Willey laid the platform with a swashbuckling 79, proving again why Yorkshire were so keen to sign him last winter to improve their white-ball cricket, and the bowlers did the rest in a fine team performance.
“We brought our A-game to the quarter-final,” said Moxon.
“We were outstanding in the field, as good as you can get, and the ruthless way we went about our business was superb.
“David Willey set the tone with the bat, and we signed him precisely because we wanted to improve our one-day form immediately.
“Long-term he can have an impact in red-ball cricket too, but he’s made a big difference to our T20 side.”
Another player who has made a big difference is Azeem Rafiq, the off-spinner who returned to the club in mid-season after almost two years out of the professional game.
It is no coincidence that Yorkshire’s T20 resurgence can be traced back to Rafiq’s arrival.
“It has been a team effort to get to Finals Day, but Rafiq has done exceptionally well and he’s a great competitor,” said Moxon.
“He creates a buzz in the field as well as bringing his bowling skill, and he’s been a big factor in our improvement.
“Bottom line is, we’ve worked really hard to try to find the right method in T20.
“There’s been a lot of frustrations along the way, a lot of disappointments, and hopefully the lads can get some silverware now to show for their hard work.”

Surrey now have the chance to avenge last season’s final defeat by Gloucestershire but for Yorkshire it was the second consecutive year that they have stumbled at the last-four stage.
It also continued a depressing run of semi-final reverses in List A cricket for Yorkshire, who have now lost 17 times out of 20 on such occasions since 1979.
Captain Alex Lees admitted - combined with defeat in last week’s T20 Blast semi-final to Durham Jets - Yorkshire hadn’t been good enough to progress in either game.
“I think we are all gutted to lose because we have played some great white ball cricket this season,” said Lees. “But when it has mattered in two semi-finals over the past week we have not been good enough.

“I thought it was a reachable target and we needed some contributions from the top five and this didn’t happen. All credit to the Surrey bowlers who kept going.”
Lees was also quick to praise the efforts of Bresnan, adding: “He has won three or four games single-handed for us and has been exceptional both with the bat and ball. His big contribution almost got us there. When we look back it will have been a positive season but you still don’t want to lose two semi-finals.”
Yorkshire lost Adam Lyth to Jade Dernbach in their third over and after skipper, Alex Lees, had played some solid strokes in reaching 26 he was bowled driving at his opposite number, Gareth Batty.
At 74-2 in 19 overs, however, Yorkshire were still handily placed until Meaker, bowling from the football end, began his lethal burst.
Jonny Bairstow, released by England for the match, drove gently to Dominic Sibley at mid-wicket; Gary Ballance was caught behind trying to flick over the top of the slips and Jack Leaning dragged into his leg-stump.
The slide to 81-5 was halted by Bresnan and 20-year-old all-rounder, Matthew Waite, who enjoyed a fine match in which he earlier captured three wickets and then scored 38 in an enterprising stand of 80 in 16 overs with his senior partner.
Waite survived a confident appeal for a catch off Batty’s bowling but in the next over from Sam Curran he drove into Batty’s hands at mid-on. Bresnan and Will Rhodes kept the hopes of the 4,836 crowd alive with a busy stand of 46 which ended at 207 in the 45th over when Rhodes played to backward point and set off for a single but was beaten by Tom Curran’s direct hit on the stumps at the bowler’s end.
Bresnan and Azeem Rafiq continued to battle hard, but when Tom Curran sent back both Rafiq and Steven Patterson in the 48th over to make it 236-9 the task was just beyond Yorkshire and the match ended when Bresnan drove Dernbach to Sibley at long-off, his 68 coming off 82 balls with two fours and a six.
Put in to bat, Surrey found themselves on eight for two by the third over, with Kumar Sangakkara one of the wickets to fall, but the early setbacks did not unsettle Davies whose 104 followed consecutive Championship scores of 117, 52 and 56 against Yorkshire this season.
Jack Brooks, in his first List A match of the summer, struck in the day’s second over as Dibley shaped to play to leg but missed and was lbw. Sangakkara was quick of the mark, cutting Bresnan for four, but in the same over the Sri Lankan drove loosely to Rafiq in the covers.
Davies, however, made smooth progress with some splendidly timed shots through the covers, taking boundaries off consecutive balls from Brooks, and he hit 34 of the first 48 runs scored.
But at 61-2 in 14 overs, Waite joined the attack and his first delivery was flicked casually to long leg by Burns for Patterson to hold a good catch dropping to his knees.
It should have been an even more memorable over for Waite but three balls later Davies, on 43, drove back past the bowler’s hands and the chance went begging.
Had Davies gone then, Surrey would have been in big trouble but they were rescued by Davies’ and Foakes’ partnership of 130, the visitors’ highest for the fourth wicket in List A cricket against Yorkshire and beating the 110 by Monty Lynch and Andrew Needham at Bradford in 1985.
Davies, having reached his half-century from 57 deliveries, continued to time the ball to perfection, hooking Bresnan for four and on-driving Rafiq for six while Foakes moved smartly to his own 50 from 51 balls, the stand entering three figures in 21 overs.
A single to Davies off Patterson took him to his century off 112 balls with ten fours and a six, but four runs later he hit a low full toss from Waite straight to Rhodes on the mid-wicket boundary.
Surrey were 191-4 in the 39th over and they lost much of their momentum in the last dozen overs or so, Sam Curran going for 16 when he was bowled by Waite in a futile and ungainly attempt to scoop the ball round the corner.
Waite’s figures of three for 48 were Yorkshire’s best of the day and at the end of his stint he received warm and prolonged applause from the appreciative crowd.
Foakes struck Bresnan high over long on for six but was denied a century when a ramp shot went wrong and he was caught by Brooks for 90 from 100 balls with seven fours to go alongside his big hit.
Surrey debutant, Ollie Pope, was run out for 20 off the last ball of an innings which never quite blossomed as much as it might of done, although it may never have bloomed at all but for Davies and Foakes.
As it happened (the last 10 overs) ...
49.5 overs - WICKET - GAME OVER - Bresnan hits high full tos down the throat of Sibley at long-off from the bowling of Jake Dernbach - Bresnan dismissed for 68. Surrey win by 19 runs
48 overs: WICKET - Yorkshire 234-9 - Steve Patterson goes first ball, ball stopped on him and he just looped a catch up to Sangakarra at mid on.
47. 3 overs: WICKET - Yorkshire 231-8 - Rafiq hits full toss down to long on where he is caught by Burns off Tom Curran - Steven Patterson joins Bresnan who is 64 no
47 overs: Yorkshire 229-7 - Another good over Yorkshire, good running once again - Bresnan 64 no; Rafiq 5 no. 27 needed off 18 balls
46 overs: Yorkshire 222 -7 - Good over for Yorkshire, 143 runs including big six over long on from Bresnan and some cracking running between the wickets; Bresnan 62 no; Rafiq 2 no
45 overs: Yorkshire 209- 7 - Two runs off the last ball brings up 50 for Bresnan, who is joined at the crease by Azeem Rafiq - Bresnan, 51 no; Rafiq 0 no 44.5 overs: WICKET Yorkshire 207-7 - Rhodes run out from direct hit by ???? at backward point. Rhodes hesitated slightly before setting off and it proved costly
44 overs: Yorkshire 202-6 - Bresnan 47 no; Rhodes 21 no - 54 needed off 36 balls. Surrey bowling nice and tight, making it difficult for both Bresnan and Rhodes to get them away.

Thunder flies clung to the skin until they were swept away with sweaty hands or else flicked off – Subbuteo-like – with sticky fingers.
Spectators sat in shirt-sleeves and sun hats, occasionally raising a drink to their lips or slurping at ice creams, while seagulls squawked and circled the ground, looking for remnants of discarded food.
For much of the long and lazy afternoon, the pin-striped deckchairs in front of the West Stand marquee were vacant as important people enjoyed an extended lunch, occasionally popping their heads outside to check the scoreboard on the popular bank.
All the sights and sounds of Scarborough were present for the start of the 130th Festival, just as they have always been, and the cricket itself was of compelling character.
After half-an-hour’s play, Yorkshire were 21-0 after Notts, the bottom club, took up the right of the visiting side to field first.
Half-an-hour before lunch, Yorkshire, the second-placed club, had sunk to 51-6 after insipid batting and inspired work from medium-pacer Steven Mullaney had nipped out three of the wickets and effected a run-out.
A seventh-wicket stand of 132 in 34 overs between Andrew Hodd (96no) and Azeem Rafiq (74) stopped the bleeding, and even inspired a recovery back to rude health as both made their highest scores of the season, Hodd also making his highest score for Yorkshire.
The wicketkeeper deserved a century, but was left stranded when the hosts were dismissed for 282 deep into the evening session, Notts reaching stumps on 38-2.
On a day when 4,979 spectators gathered in glorious sunshine, it was pertinent to ponder initially who was not playing as much as who was.
Yorkshire were without Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and David Willey due to international calls, while captain Andrew Gale failed a fitness test on a sore back, with Gary Ballance leading the club for the first time in the Championship.
Gale, who has struggled for runs, therefore missed out at a ground where he has scored 1,372 of them in 19 first-class games at 49, including a career-best 272 when these sides last met in the Championship here in 2013.
For their part, Notts were without pace bowlers Stuart Broad (ankle), Jake Ball (international duty) and Harry Gurney (hip), with the visitors handing a debut to 19-year-old batsman Tom Moores, son of former England head coach Peter Moores, the Notts’ coaching consultant.
Despite their depleted bowling resources, Notts could hardly have wished for a better morning session.
There was a strong element of luck about the first wicket, Adam Lyth run-out at the non-striker’s end when Mullaney deflected a drive from Alex Lees on to the stumps.
But there was nothing fortuitous thereafter as Lees pushed at one from Mullaney and was caught at third slip, Jake Lehmann was caught at second slip driving at Mullaney, and Ballance went lbw to Luke Fletcher playing across his pads.
When Tim Bresnan padded up to Mullaney and Jack Leaning followed a wide delivery from Brett Hutton and was caught at third slip, Yorkshire were 51-6 and in disarray.
But Hodd and Rafiq added 46 in seven overs before lunch, and then they frustrated the visitors in the afternoon, Notts failing to build on their earlier good work.
Rafiq, who has a first-class hundred to his name, gradually grew in confidence to the extent that he contemptuously thumped Hutton for four over mid-on towards the Peasholm Park end.
When he chipped the next ball for four just over a leaping Fletcher at mid-on, Rafiq had his third first-class fifty from 75 balls with eight boundaries, a fitting way to mark a day when he was officially re-presented with his county cap – along with Leaning – by the Yorkshire president, John Hampshire.
It took an apparently controversial decision from Neil Mallender to send him on his way, the umpire adjudging him lbw to Samit Patel, a wicket swiftly followed by that of Steve Patterson, who went lbw to Imran Tahir.
Hodd breezed past his previous best for Yorkshire of 68 not out against Somerset at Taunton three years ago, and he added 88 for the ninth-wicket in 21 overs with Jack Brooks, who contributed 48 from 66 balls with seven fours and a six, Brooks chopping on to Hutton.
When Ryan Sidebottom was lbw to Hutton nine balls later, Hodd was left agonisingly short of a fifth first-class hundred, having faced 185 balls and struck 10 fours.
Notts lost a wicket to the seventh ball of their reply when Brooks pinned Jake Libby lbw, and they would have been 1-2 had Leaning taken a low chance at third slip offered by Moores off Sidebottom.
But Bresnan had Moores caught at second slip by Lyth in the final over as Yorkshire completed a fine fightback.

That’s according to concerned nature lover, Yvonne Tagg, who says 11 birds have been run-over in just two weeks at Burton Agnes Pond, near Bridlington.
Yvonne, 61, of Nafferton, said she and her friend have gone to feed the animals - some of which she claims were abandoned by farmers - almost every day for years.
“We have seen wagons run over ducks because they are going too fast,” said Yvonne.
“A builder on a roof came down and said he couldn’t believe four ducks had been run over.
“He just went straight over them and didn’t even try to stop.
“He found them on the other side of the road, though. They must have gone right under the middle of the wagon.”
But other birds haven’t been so lucky, and Yvonne is demanding action be taken to stop motorists speeding around the bend, close to the pond.
“A speed bump was requested a couple of years ago.
“Everyone feeds the ducks there and there. One of these days a child is going to run out, in the road.”
It comes after Yvonne succeeded in convincing the Burton Agnes Estate to improve the pond, after national newspapers picked up on the story.
Campaigners claimed water levels had fallen at the pond, that the water had become stagnant and birds were wandering into the road in search of food.
A spokesman for East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “There are sufficient clear wildfowl warning signs in advance of the pond to help motorists, but these signs alone do not prevent collisions with animals, even at low speeds.”
The spokesman added: “Whilst the council recognises the concerns of local residents, the council is unable to recommend the A614 Main Street for traffic calming measures based on the current situation.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/local/speed-plea-to-save-birds-1-8074173 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/4d82b89fd10ccd19dd546bd98627325d2a48416f411605f4b0075b07ac8f3d75.json |

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.
AUDIO: Listen to Slaves star Isaac Holman's exclusive chat with Graham Walker - CLICK HERE.
"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

We returned from Africa as my sister was too old to be educated there. We then came to live in the North as my father came to run the cement works in Melton which is now known as Melton Whiting Works.
I finished my education at Wolfreton School and then went on to college to study Hotel Reception and Front Office Practice, this then led to me working at The Grange Park Hotel.
I had my daughter Emily at the age of 21 years and once she became of school age I then retrained at Bishop Burton College studying Interior Design and Art History.
Following this I worked for Wesley-Barrell as an interior design consultant and stayed with them for five years. I then went on to work for Xen Jewellery Design as a store manager and remained there for 12 years. I moved to Beverley when Emily was four years old and have remained here ever since.
What three words would you use to describe yourself?
Fun, crazy and bubbly!
What makes Beverley so special?
The history and the people!
The folk are friendly, we have beautiful historic buildings, great shops and plenty of places to eat and drink!
What is the history behind setting up Travellers Rest?
After 12 years of managing another business I decided I needed a change of career but didn’t know quite what to do! I was having coffee and lunch with some friends in a coffee shop on Beverley Road, The Dancing Goat, and after much discussion and contemplating my passion for food and coffee I thought: “I wouldn’t mind a coffee shop.”
I had always baked and entertained and had always wanted to get into events so thought perhaps I could tie everything in together.
A few days on, one of the friends I had been having coffee with that day had said that the shop on Beckside, that used to be “Old Flames” was on the market.
I arranged a viewing and once I’d seen it (even in its derelict state) I knew it was perfect and it just felt right! Here was an opportunity to create the perfect space, in a historical building for the local community and visitors alike to be able to come and relax, a great meeting place with the addition of it being a lovely venue for private events.
I wanted to the food to be rustic, home cooked and always freshly made and this is something I feel we have achieved and we shall continue to hold onto this concept.
It was a bonus being able to have the addition of the deli so that if people like what they have eaten in the coffee shop they can take some tasty treats or some of our artisan cheeses home.
It didn’t start out as a family business it just grew that way...I had always expected Emily to work there but Jack is a builder by trade and was working on the Flemingate development when we were first setting up the shop!
Not long after the deli opened Jack hurt his back and couldn’t work on site so he came into the shop to help out...found a passion for making great coffee and never left! LOL!
Emily was with me from the start, she’s a great cook and has also had a passion for it...then her boyfriend, Chris joined us...he’d taken an interest in coming along and had previously worked in catering so it kind of made sense to bring him in.
He’s a natural especially when it comes to carrying a tray fully loaded with Americanos and he carries it with one hand! Now that’s skill...I just end up spilling it!
What are your plans for the business?
It’s my job to continue to drive the business forward. We are doing a lot of private events, weddings etc. which we wish to continue with.
It has always been an intention to continue with live music nights and themed food and drink events; we’re just struggling to fit them in at the moment due to the private events but I am always working on it and we should have something coming up before Christmas...fingers crossed!
If you could invite two famous people to visit, who would they be?
I love this question but boy did it take some thinking about...I have to decide on...The Queen and Peter Kay! Wouldn’t you like to get them in a room together?
How funny would that be! I like a good laugh! I love the Royal family and so does my mum so having them at the Travellers Rest would be an honour... I could make her a lovely Afternoon Tea, I’d have to get the fine china out... I could borrow that from my mum! My mum is very house proud and I always joke when she has visitors “Anyone would think the Queen was coming” so it’d be great if she actually was... think my mum would go into overdrive! As for Peter Kay well how much would he love one of our Travellers Scotch Eggs? I wonder which flavour he’d choose?
What do you like to do in your leisure time?
Unfortunately I haven’t had much leisure time but when I do manage to take some time out I like to spend it with friends and family.
If I’m at home with time to spare I like to spend it in my garden (in the summer) or in front of my wood burner with a good film (in the winter)
What is your earliest childhood memory?
My mum filling up the washing up bowl for me to play in, outside on a summer’s day! Clearly we didn’t have a paddling pool!
Where do you like to shop in Beverley?
If I’m treating myself (which isn’t very often) I love to shop at Mimi!
However being on Beckside I do find Flemingate extremely handy [especially Wilko’s!] and I love Bay Tree Interiors for gifts!
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Ha ha ha... I’m not sure if you can print this!! I used to work at Britannia House in my late teens. After visiting the toilet I’d left my skirt tucked in my knickers. No one told me for ages and those office floors were vast!
And let’s not mention the knickers! I still cringe now! But I may have to think of another one... I’m sure there have been many!
Where is your favourite place in Yorkshire?
I love the coast... having been brought up by the sea (living in Sussex). There are some great coastlines in Yorkshire and a visit always blows the cobwebs away!
Have you a message for the people of Beverley?
Yes! Come to the Travellers Rest, relax and unwind in the lovely surroundings we have to offer, enjoy some good company, home cooked food, great coffee or perhaps treat yourself to an ale or some wine!

Such concerns must have crossed the minds of the Yorkshire crowd yesterday when the hosts were busy ripping through the Notts’ batting line-up with the ease of piranhas devouring their victims.
But after dismissing Notts for 94 on the stroke of lunch, after they had started day two on 38-2 in reply to their own first-innings 282, Yorkshire chose not to enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 188, thereby ensuring that the game could not be over inside two days, which had seemed eminently plausible.
As owners of local guest houses and hostelries no doubt turned cartwheels of joy, so too did those Yorkshire members who adore it at North Marine Road, with 84 per cent of them having voted in a recent survey conducted by the club to retain two Championship games there from next season.
With Yorkshire having to take one match away from Headingley or Scarborough due to changes to the fixture list, it can be taken as read that the decision will come down in the seaside town’s favour, but that is not to say that many of those Scarborough devotees were not a little baffled as to why Yorkshire – their bowlers fresh and their opponents fragile – opted to increase their lead in glorious sunshine.
It is the modern way, of course, not to enforce, and it is unlikely to make a jot of difference to the result, with Yorkshire set to close the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex with a win here, and Notts looking every inch like relegation material.
Yorkshire followed up with 200-4 in 61 overs in their second innings, Gary Ballance, the captain, scoring an unbeaten 75 to stretch the lead to a lofty 388.
Even with dodgy weather forecast today, Yorkshire’s fourth Championship victory of the season would seem as much of a formality as high and low tide.
Regardless of the question as to whether to enforce, that Yorkshire were even in a position to do so was tribute to a rousing recovery from 51-6 on day one.
Magnificent contributions from Andrew Hodd, Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks were mainly responsible for a revival completed by Yorkshire’s four-pronged pace attack of Brooks, Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan and Steve Patterson, who needed just 25.5 overs on the second morning to winkle out the last eight wickets.
The tone was set – as it so often is – by the venerable Sidebottom, who belied his 38 years with a splendid exhibition of swing bowling from the Peasholm Park end to take 3-5 in 12 balls and reduce Notts to 52-5.
Michael Lumb, the former Yorkshire batsman, was drawn forward and caught behind by one that shaped away; Steven Mullaney was lbw playing across the line; and Samit Patel was caught upper-cutting high to Bresnan at first slip.
Sidebottom would have had a fourth wicket with the score on 59 but Bresnan dropped a low chance at first slip, with Brendan Taylor not then off the mark.
But it was only a temporary setback for a Yorkshire side who made equally light work of the mid-to-lower order.
Chris Read miscued an attempted pull off Brooks to cover; Brett Hutton edged Brooks low to Adam Lyth at second slip; Taylor’s luck finally ran out when he played on an attempted drive off Patterson; Luke Wood flashed in foolhardy fashion at Bresnan and was caught behind, and an innings caked in collective embarrassment ended when Luke Fletcher helped Bresnan to Jack Leaning at third slip.
That Yorkshire would bat again was betrayed by the sight of openers Lyth and Alex Lees sprinting off the ground to strap on their pads, and they safely negotiated the one over that remained before lunch.
After the break, the cricket grew steadily soporific as the 5,000 crowd watched Yorkshire increase their lead in the way of builders systematically adding bricks to a house.
Lees added 30 bricks before he was lbw to Hutton, ending a first-wicket stand of 72, and Lyth followed shortly after for 41, caught and bowled by Wood off a leading edge.
Lehmann and Ballance added 61 in 22 overs before Lehmann slogged Samit Patel straight up in the air to Wood at mid-on.
Ballance, dropped on 20 when he pulled Fletcher to a diving Tom Moores at mid-wicket, advanced to a 113-ball half-century that included eight fours, and Leaning helped him add 57 before being stumped.
Play was halted seven overs early due to bad light with swooping seagulls ready to reclaim the outfield once the cricketers had left for the evening. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/yorkshire-v-notts-seaside-air-leaves-gary-ballance-in-mood-to-play-on-1-8086935 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/c89ad9bed37dea9565949f5756eeff7c1c46af2df845c9ef9ee2eebc472c3d03.json |

The England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, who is also president of Scarborough CC, described it as “top of my heart list” and promised that the ECB would retain the Scarborough and Cheltenham Festivals amid an ever-changing cricketing climate.
“Scarborough is a passion for me,” added Graves. “The wicket is the best outside the international venues.
“I got that from Steven Finn, who played here for Middlesex this year. He said that Scarborough is the best wicket he played on, which is a credit to Scarborough Cricket Club.”
Graves, the former Yorkshire chairman, thus gave a timely thumbs-up to a ground close to where he used to work as an ice-cream waiter.
With the number of Championship games being reduced from next summer, it is comforting to know that Scarborough retains his personal backing, and also that of the ECB board.
GOOD TOUCH: Stand-in captain Gary Ballance celebrates his second innings century for Yorkshire against Nottinghamshire at Scarborough on day three. Picture: Dave Williams.
“I had some fantastic times when I worked in Scarborough, but we won’t go into that,” quipped Graves, who used to work at Jaconelli’s just down the road. “It’s always been a special place.”
Graves, who will be Scarborough CC president again next year, was speaking before a gathering of dignitaries and invited guests at a ground where Yorkshire are looking to close the gap on leaders Middlesex.
The champions would reduce that gap to five points with four games left with a win here, which looks a formality weather-permitting.
Notts, the bottom club, go into the final day on 61-3 in their second innings, trailing by 390.
But it is a formality only if Yorkshire can get on the field for long enough, with heavy rain permitting only 35.2 overs yesterday, although much better weather is forecast today.
Yorkshire, who declined to enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 188, will kick themselves from here all the way back to Headingley if the elements enable a Notts’ escape.
They will hope that the inquests prove unnecessary, though, after another commanding display yesterday before bad light, closely followed by heavy rain, prevented play from 2.50.
In gloomy conditions, which explained why the crowd of 2,634 was down from the 5,000 gates on the first two days, Yorkshire resumed on 200-4 in their second innings.
Stand-in captain Gary Ballance had 75 to his name, while Tim Bresnan had yet to score.
After rain delayed the start by 40 minutes, the pair added 62 in 12.2 overs before Ballance declared the innings at 263-4, 25 minutes before lunch, setting Notts a notional 452 to win.
He did so with 101 against his own name, his 29th first-class hundred, and his second Championship century of the season at Scarborough. He faced 164 balls and hit 14 fours, thus taking a big step in his quest to finish the season strongly on a personal level.
Criticism of his international displays have been over-the-top, and his game appears in pretty good order. Ditto Bresnan, who practically comes with the guarantee of runs.
He had made 35 of them from 59 balls with five fours and a straight six off Samit Patel when Ballance called a halt, leaving Yorkshire five overs at their opponents before lunch.
It took only nine balls for Notts to lose their first wicket in pursuit of what would be their second-highest total to win a Championship match, behind the 461-3 achieved at Worcester in 2001.
Jack Brooks, bowling from the Trafalgar Square end, had Steven Mullaney caught at third slip by Jack Leaning as the visitors dined on 4-1.
After Brooks bowled seven overs for 17 either side of lunch, he was replaced by Bresnan, who struck with the first and last balls of his first over to leave Notts rocking on 34-3. Jake Libby played back and was caught at fourth slip by Jake Lehmann, moving smartly to his left, and Michael Lumb was adjudged caught behind.
Lumb, the former Yorkshire batsman, who thus completed a pair, clearly did not think he had hit the ball, and it appeared to be an interesting decision.
In the newspaper, however, it reads: ‘MJ Lumb c Hodd b Bresnan 0’, just as it says ‘TJ Moores not out 41’, the 19-year-old’s innings his highest for Notts, and a performance of great skill and maturity. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-day-three-gary-ballance-hoping-weather-stays-kind-to-boost-defending-champions-title-defence-1-8089838 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/56d71a9ea84bec8e3e9b52a7ccdd0ff93762ec84f228d06afd6845a17e4cd5d2.json |

Almost all winter barley and winter OSR crops are now safely in the shed and although the results have been generally disappointing, prospects for both winter wheat and spring barley crops look much more promising.
Several local growers have made a start with harvesting both of the above this week and although yields are down on last year’s bumper crop, they both appear in line with the five year average.
Winter wheat yields have ranged anywhere from 3 to 4.5 tonnes per acre and crop quality has so far been very good.
However, the majority of the samples we have seen are milling wheats, making it difficult to comment on bushel weights.
Feed wheat for September collection has rallied to £125/T ex-farm this week. Further forward, £130/T ex-farm is offered for collection before the end of the year.
Currency appears to be the main factor driving the London wheat market at the moment although last week’s all important USDA report proved favourable for European wheat values.
Total European wheat production is forecast nine million tonnes lower than last month’s estimate and although a reduction was expected, it is certainly larger than expected.
In addition to this, European wheat exports were reduced by seven million tonnes on last month’s estimate.
Ongoing issues with the French wheat crop are predominantly responsible for the downgrade although prospects for this year’s German wheat crop are also questionable.
Meanwhile, early spring barley samples look promising although as with the wheat, the majority of samples seen are grown for a premium and it is therefore difficult to draw any conclusions regarding quality at this stage.
The number one malting barley variety Concerto appears to be doing particularly well with yields in excess of three tonnes per acre commonplace.
Quality of this variety in particular has been excellent; bold grains with low nitrogen contents and minimal screenings.
For those of you with uncontracted spring malting in the ground, please contact the office to discuss your requirements. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/local/winter-wheat-crops-look-promising-1-8071933 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/6dab12d1e02271af96b72a260c2ad413fdfecaec136f4d05f0eccf0e6670bcdb.json |

"We've had a sci-fi quiz, a Marvel quiz and next we're having a Page To Screen quiz. So it's something for everyone. Some of the audience and our staff even dressed up for it.
"The space is bookable, we have had private events in the past, where people have hired the bar out with food for parties. Anything is a possibility in the new Cineworld Sheffield."

The Pikes were dismissed for 125, stalwart Les Welburn top-scoring with a defiant 41, and Shaun Smith adding 31.
Matt Watson took 5-27 and Elliott Cooper 3-14 as the spinners cast their spell over the visitors.
Kieron Boyes took 3-13 to give the North Marine Road club a few worries but David Snowball's 49 paved the way for the home win and an unbeaten 47 from Neil Elvidge wrapped up the success for Scarborough, who now need to win their last three games of the season and hope the sides above, Carlton Towers and York 3rds, slip up.
William Spencer hit an unbeaten 64, and Danny Foxton 33 as Malton & Old Malton 2nds (166-5) successfully chased down the 163-9 posted by hosts Acomb 2nds.
Driffield Town 2nds' victory at Bolton Percy meant the hosts’ drop into the Premier Division relegation places with just three rounds of the league matches remaining.
Grant Halder (71) was the visitors’ top scorer and 30 each from Jordan Caley and Nicky Johnson helped their side to a total of 216-8.
Tom Atkinson replied with 69 and Jamie Rigby 46 as the hosts were all out 39 runs short of their target Johnny Anderson finishing with 6-56.
Matthew Wilkinson (7-21) produced the best bowling performance of the day as Hull Zingari dismissed local rivals Goole Town for 72 which included an unbeaten 27 from Neil Foster.
The hosts lost three wickets in reply but 36 from Jack Storey was enough to ensure his side climbed out of the bottom two.
York’s six-match unbeaten run ended in spectacular fashion as they were bowled out for just 98 at Pickering, Michael Brown (6-54) and Dan Ward (3-27) doing most of the damage.
The hosts didn’t have everything their own way however as they were made to work hard taking more than 40 overs to reach their target with eight wickets down Ted Patmore (4-25) and Nick Kay (3-24) almost pulling off what would have been a remarkable victory.
Heworth’s relegation was confirmed as they lost by five wickets at home to Beverley Town.
Ian Lynch (58) and Steve Baxter (65) each scored half-centuries as their side recovered from 99-5 to eventually reach 236-9 with Matthew Mudd (3-48) and Sam Welburn (3-42) sharing six wickets.
The hosts reduced their opponents to 11-2 in reply before a partnership of 186 between Olly Grantham (122no) and Anthony Spence (81) all but sealed their fate.
Whitkirk sealed promotion from Division One despite finishing second best in a drawn match at title rivals Malton & Old Malton.
The hosts had Gary Hall (70) and Daniel Harper (47) to thank as they reached 209-9, Paul Johnson taking 5-32 in only his second appearance of the season for the leaders.
Simon and Matthew Webb made 64 and 62 respectively as the visitors closed on 179-6 in reply.
The result extended second placed Malton's unbeaten run to eight matches and victory next week will likely see them join Whitkirk in the Premier Divison next season.
Harrogate retained an outside chance of promotion with a two wicket win as they hosted Beverley Town 2nds.
Brad Dobson (82) top scored the visitors reached 165-9, Abdi Hasan-Ahmed finishing with 3-47.
Alex Nightingale responded with 4-37 but his efforts could not prevent the hosts reaching their target, George Hampson remaining unbeaten on 35 at the close.
With four sides set to be relegated at the end of the current campaign any of the clubs outside the top three could still find themselves joining Osbaldwick, who fate is already sealed, in the third tier next season.
Folkton & Flixton look the least likely to go down after they beat Patrington by 56 runs.
Stuart Stocks proved to be the difference between the sides making 65 in a total of 166 as Jack Eggrett took 3-18.
Chris Mann responded with 4-21 as the visitors were bowled out for 110 which included 32 from Jacob Duffill.
Pocklington must be favourites for an immediate return to Division Two, having spent the entire season in the bottom four.
They were unable to build on last week’s victory going down by four wickets at home to Hornsea despite scoring over 300. Andy Innes made 102 and Liam Serginson 50 as the hosts reached 303-7 from 48 overs.
In a match dominated by the bat Jonathan Fisher (106) responded with his second century of the campaign and Adam Newington made 40 as the visitors reached their target with seven overs to spare.
Sewerby’s Scott Cooper (101) was their star as his side chased down Bridlington’s total of 170 with five wickets in hand.
Earlier John Major had made 84 but Steve Janney with 5-47 helped restrict the home side.
The result leaves Bridlington third from bottom while enhancing Sewerby’s chances of retaining their Division One status. | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/york-league-scarborough-beat-pikes-to-boost-promotion-hopes-1-8080554 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/dc5e40b8dd730144db6f9e66eb793ebe9387439faceece15cc5973c216ff4587.json |

A rocking line-up of world-class look and sound-a-likes will be headlined by Bon Jovi Experience, Coldplace and New2.
South Yorkshire's latest young indie blues band Sundance, who play a mix of their own material and crowd pleasing covers by the likes of Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, are one of five local support acts along with Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival.
Promising to be the hottest ticket in town, festival-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy a full day and night of live music at the stadium inside a huge big top style marquee - which means it goes ahead whatever the weather,
There will be a variety of food and entertainment stalls in true festival style. Parking is available, but there is no camping at the festival site.
Fake Festival, which is celebrating its tenth year, features professional ‘touring-grade’ tribute bands that look, sound and move like the real rock-stars.
Home grown support bands include Barnsley four-piece Sundance, who recently took Tramlines by storm after featuring on BBC Music Day. They are Harry Walker (vocals/lead guitar), Kyle Grattan (drums), Owen Keane (rhythm guitar) and Jamie Darbyshire (bass).
The band's riffs and swagger belie their young years and they harbour a not-so-quiet confidence that's sure to take them places. Check out and like their Facebook page facebook.com/sundancemusicuk, follow on Twitter @sundancemusicuk and visit their YouTube page - CLICK HERE
Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival, whose inspirations range from Kiss, David Bowie and Oasis, will perform original music including their debut single Night Train - see www.nickaslam.com, his Facebook page www.facebook.com/NickAslam or follow on Twitter @NikAslam
Doncaster Fake Festival provides a friendly environment that caters for all ages, says Mark Hughesman, of Doncaster Rovers FC, who are hosting the event.
He said: “This year celebrates 10 years of Fake Festivals. It promises to be a fabulous day of live music and we can’t wait to start the party.
"Bring your friends and family, young and old, and catch up with those you haven’t seen in a while. It’s going to be a fun-packed day with the music and bar in the marquee and the entertainments arena just outside with a variety of food stands and games.”
Coldplace
Jez Lee, owner of Fake Festivals, said: “It’s hard to believe that Fake Festivals started out in a small Lincolnshire village 10 years ago and now tours around the UK.
"I can clearly remember the day, and never imagined it would take off like it has. I’m really proud to be able to say we are the UK’s only touring tribute festival, and that we have kept it community-led to, and not sold out to commercial pressures that a lot of festivals experience nowadays.”

The Waterview Lodge team claimed a podium position after competing in various disciplines at three different venues.
A Rio carnival atmosphere surrounded the opening ceremony of the three-day sports event, which took place to showcase the sporting abilities of adults with disabilities.
The competitors, who attend day centres across the East Riding, competed in a range of track and field events, including frisbee golf, athletics, and wheelchair racing, as part of the Legacy Games 2016.
Councillor Richard Harrap, portfolio holder for adult and carer services, said: “The Legacy Games are without doubt a highlight in the events calendar for day services in the East Riding, and what better time to hold this year’s event than during the Rio Olympics.
“The event is a great opportunity for people with learning disabilities to get together and enjoy a really fun and healthy day.
“There is a real competitive spirit to the games with everyone, including competitors and staff, getting really involved which is great to see.”
Teams competing on the day represented day services from Haltemprice, Holderness, Beverley, Goole, Pocklington, Driffield and Bridlington.
Sports at the Longcroft School event included frisbee throwing, tennis ball throwing, boccia, new age bowls, skittles, new age kurling and football. The second day of the tournament saw teams attend Foresters Arms, in Beverley, for darts, dominoes and pool competitions, while a Wii bowling competition was held at Millers Day Centre, Beverley, ahead of the games.
Councillor Caroline Fox, East Riding of Yorkshire Council vice-chairman, presented the medals and trophies to the competitors.
Now into its fifth year the Legacy Games were launched in 2012 to tie in with the London Olympic Games and is annually organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in partnership with Longcroft School.
Community sports coach Adam Swann, of the Sport, Play and Arts Service, added: “It is always fantastic to see so many people getting together to enjoy sport on this scale in such a fun, friendly and social setting. Everyone taking part really gave it their all and did a fantastic job.” | http://www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/news/local/waterview-lodge-sports-success-1-8084040 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.driffieldtoday.co.uk/7716121866b0f509eca04b9be6d45aa32096bdfd7a53c47acfd71c798421ac55.json |

The star of the show was Wishy Washy, played by the Dale Ibbetson, whose high-energy performance made the audience chuckle, leaving the boos and hisses to be directed at Glynn Mills’ dastardly Abanazar for his evil scheming and wicked plots.
The excellent, traditional ghost routine was one of the high points, with plenty of audience participation in, and at many points throughout the performance, Ibbetson getting the audience, young and old, involved in the musical numbers.

Yorkshire are aiming to reach their first Lord’s final since 2002 when they take on Surrey at Headingley (11am start).
THREAT: Surrey's Kumar Sangakkara
It is the second successive season that Yorkshire have reached the Royal London semis, with the club going down by eight wickets to eventual champions Gloucestershire at Headingley last year.
Surrey, last season’s runners-up, will pose another stiff test, but Gillespie has been encouraged by Yorkshire’s white-ball performances, with the club having also reached the semi-finals of the NatWest T20 Blast before losing to Durham.
“We’ve seen clear progress in white-ball cricket this year,” said Gillespie. “We’re not the finished article, but we’ve definitely seen improvements overall in both of the comps.
“We should have chased down the runs against Durham in the T20 semi, even though Mark Wood bowled very well against us.
“But that’s gone now, and I’m pleased overall with how the lads have gone about their work in one-day cricket.”
To get past Surrey, Yorkshire must overcome a semi-final hoodoo in List A cricket. Their defeat to Gloucestershire last season was their 16th in 19 one-day cup semis.
“That stat isn’t in our minds,” said Gillespie. “It hasn’t even been discussed. Sunday is a new day, and the fact is that we’ve played some good cricket in the 50-over comp.
“We know Surrey are a quality team and that people will see them as favourites, which is okay with us.
“We just need to go out there and play the best cricket we can and focus on that.”
On paper, the biggest danger to Yorkshire is Kumar Sangakkara, the former Sri Lanka batsman/wicketkeeper. Sangakkara, 38, scored an unbeaten 130 to help Surrey to a dramatic one-wicket win off the last ball of their quarter-final at Northants.
“Sangakkara is clearly an extremely dangerous player,” said Gillespie, whose side booked their semi-final place with an 11-run win over Kent at Canterbury.
“He has a proven track record, and he is capable of winning games single-handed.
“At the same time, we will do our homework against him and encourage our bowlers and everyone to do their research.
“Phil Dicks (the Yorkshire analyst) puts a lot of stuff together, and the players have iPads where they can look at all the relevant footage – ie, where Sangakkara scores his runs, his wagon wheels, and potentially where he could be vulnerable, which is what we do with all our opponents.”
Yorkshire’s attention to detail in this regard has increased markedly in recent times.
Dicks is an important member of the backroom operation, equipping players with all the necessary stats and info.
“Phil has been brilliant,” said Gillespie. “He’s an important cog in the support staff at Yorkshire.

The Sandhill Lane side secured Premier League cricket for next season with victory in a match heavily affected by rain, while the result leaves Scarborough just outside the relegation places with three matches left to play.
Steve Burdett (5-63) picked up five wickets and Josh Jackson (3-54) three as the visitors were bowled out for 186 despite the efforts of Theo Smith (44) and Darren Mills (48).
The weather intervened to leave the hosts chasing 110 from 20 overs and an unbeaten half-century from Chistopher Bilton (59no) saw them home comfortably with two and a half overs to spare.
Driffield Town made it five wins from six as they beat Castleford by 18 runs at Kings Mill Road but the four points collected by the visitors keeps alive their hopes of retaining Premier League status for at least another week.

The tournament starts Friday, Aug. 19, in Hutchinson and Dassel. Three of the DRS teams - Montgomery, Shakopee and St. Benedict, will play in the first weekend of the tournament. Prior Lake, the region champions, receive a bye into the second week.
First round opponents for the local teams are: St. Benedict Saints vs. Milroy, 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21, in Hutchinson. Shakopee Coyotes vs. Regal, 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, at Dassel. Montgomery Mallards vs. St. Martin, 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, in Dassel. Prior Lake Mudcats will face either Hanska or Loretto in the second round at 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 28, in Hutchinson.
Each of the four teams advancing to the state tournament was allowed to draft three players from other nonqualifying region teams. The three players are pitchers only and will not be allowed to bat. Draftees are:
Prior Lake - Derek Bergstrom, New Market; Matt Lane, Faribault; Bill Dunker, St. Patrick.
Montgomery - Daniel Feneis, Union Hill; Andy Henkemeyer, New Market; Jeremy Wieland, Webster.
Shakopee - Nate Rost, New Market; Jack Helgeson, Faribault; Eric Steinhoff, Veseli.
St. Benedict - Evan Knutson, Faribault; Matt Perkinson, Veseli; Dustin Steinhoff, New Prague. The region playoffs concluded with two games last week, with Montgomery defeating Shakopee and losing to Prior Lake.
Mallards 5, Coyotes 4 The elimination game between Montgomery and Shakopee started on one field and ended on another, and featured a three-day weather delay due to rain and wet field conditions.
Heavy rainfall forced the game in Montgomery on Wednesday, Aug. 10, to be suspended with no score in the second inning. Due to the weather forecast, it was rescheduled for Friday evening, but more rain postponed it to Saturday, and the game was completed in Prior Lake, with the winner taking on the host Mudcats immediately after.
After all the delays and moves, Montgomery held off Shakopee for a 5 - 4 victory. Ted Christian threw a complete game, striking out 12 batters and allowing just four hits to earn the victory. The big blow offensively was a home run by Ryan Iverson. Mike Flicek and Johnny Krocak each collected two hits. Pat Lloyd had an RBI double as well.
Mudcats 5, Mallards 4 Prior Lake secured the Region 3C No. 1 seed by defeating Montgomery 5-4 Saturday, Aug. 13. Rob Marshall started and threw six innings, giving up three unearned runs. Jared Schloesser took the loss in relief. Tyler Bednar had two hits, including a home run. Johnny Krocak and Trevor Smisek each had two hits. The Mallards couldn't overcome sloppy play in the field and enter the State Tournament as the Region 3C number two seed. | http://www.newpraguetimes.com/content/st-benedict-one-four-drs-teams-state-tourney | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.newpraguetimes.com/ee1d41762c24340c9175cea244aec8656b51bd96a6748498ba0f0899a4f6a4cf.json |

Driver is injured in rollover crash
The 39-year-old driver of a vehicle was taken to a hospital after a rollover crash in an irrigation canal on Orchard Mesa.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, the rollover occurred at about 7:05 a.m. Thursday on 30 3/4 Road and U.S. Highway 50.
The male driver of the vehicle was transported to a hospital, but his condition was unknown, the State Patrol said.
No drugs or alcohol are suspected in the incident, the State Patrol said.
Ski train revived to Winter Park
WINTER PARK — Winter Park and Amtrak have released the schedules and ticket prices for a revived ski train.
Adult tickets are as low as $39 each way, and two children ages 2-12 can ride for half-fare with each adult ticket.
The trains carrying more than 500 passengers will depart Union Station at 7 a.m. and return at 4:30 p.m., allowing stays up to a week.
The Denver-owned ski resort and Amtrak announced that they’re reviving the popular day trips this upcoming ski season.
The train ran between Denver and Winter Park every ski season from 1940 to 2009, when then-owner Philip Anschutz shut the service.
The Colorado Transportation Commission this week announced a $1.5 million grant to build an ADA-compliant boarding platform. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/briefs-aug-26-2016 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/0c90f55bcd4cd207008a9233b7175c9cd7d91c2379803f51849930c130ab9678.json |

Pay the drainage bill
If you’re a property owner and you haven’t paid the new storm water utility fee charged by the Grand Valley Drainage District, we recommend you do so.
The bills went out in March. Most homeowners were charged $36. Businesses and other property owners are billed $36 per 2,500 square feet of impervious surfaces.
A second wave of bills hit mailboxes in late July after a Mesa County District Court judge denied a motion brought against the drainage district for a preliminary injunction. That order, signed by now-retired District Judge David Bottger, addresses point-by-point the arguments the plaintiffs — Mesa County commissioners and the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce representing business interests — put forth in an attempt to get the court to temporarily stop the district from collecting the fee.
Bottger found that the county and chamber failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability of success at trial with their contention that the charge is a tax. The judge found the challenge so lacking as to waive oral arguments or hear evidence on the matter.
The judge’s action is akin to a summary judgment, which suggests chances are slim that the plaintiffs will prevail at a trial slated for June of next year. So, as of today — and until a final court resolution — the fee stands as lawfully imposed. The bills are due Aug. 31. If you don’t pay, you risk having your bill turned over to the state’s Central Collections for delinquency and additional charges, including interest, fees, attorney fees and potentially a lien against your title.
If the county and the chamber succeed at trial, the money will be returned. The prudent move is to pay the bill. Many arrived at this conclusion already. The district has collected $1.2 million of the $2.77 million it anticipates the fee will generate. The money will be used on storm drainage projects within its 90-square-mile jurisdiction, which includes the most densely populated areas north of the Colorado River.
By the time the trial rolls around, the district will have sent out a second year of invoices. So waiting for a trial outcome is a recipe for arrears and a detriment to the district. If the assessed fee is deemed lawful, protests by nonpayment will have impeded work that an elected body deemed essential to the public good. We don’t want to encourage this kind of rogue challenge to the rule of law.
Those who oppose the drainage district’s action can attend meetings, lobby their elected representatives to be receptive to alternatives or even seek a seat on the board to effect a pivot toward a better relationship with the county or a change in governance.
Signs point to county officials working toward some kind of settlement before the issue is tried in court. But the district sounds as if it wants a court ruling. We’ll know soon enough if the fee is legit. Until then, best to pay up. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/articles/pay-the-drainage-bill | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/572e2eec64fd0f9ba15be6ea6ccff7a8e8e1a91578596fc641db9d28885e19df.json |

EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules not the solution
Pete Dronker’s column “Mines Must Bear Clean Up Costs” politicizes the Gold King spill, by using this event as a platform for increasing the burden of government regulation on the modern mining industry through EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules. Whether the mine is located on federal or private lands, mining companies today must post bonds or other financial assurance to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to fully reclaim and restore the site in the event that the operator does not complete such work.
EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules would only duplicate state and federal rules already on the books and would do nothing to remedy the situation at Gold King, a mine that operated in the late 19th century prior to the era of modern mining regulation. The solution lies not in giving more power to the government, but to allowing mining companies and other non-governmental groups to participate in Good Samaritan clean up and remediation efforts at these legacy sites.

City Council should study and revise weed abatement program
If it looked to the passerby that the weeds at First and Patterson (Northridge) were being neglected, look no more, as they have been cut, twice, and then sprayed twice! There was a reason for the hiatus of keeping pace with the weed growth. Read on:
My family is the property owner and my weed cutting was following a schedule until somebody helped himself to my Kubota Tractor (loader plus brush hog) by stealing it in April. That tractor was my main means of controlling weed growth and invasion. Without the tractor, I have had to bear the expense of renting a tractor once, which I don’t wish to do again.
I have asked the Northridge HOA to participate trice, but had no response or follow through.
The special purpose of this letter is to thank some individuals who came to my rescue and helped me out in cutting the weeds on this property not once, but twice. They responded to my cry for help without wavering. I extend my sincere thanks to them for doing such a nice cutting, with such short notice.
This is an example where two different entities of public and private came together (I helped them previously) to help each other out – Grand Junction style. Love it!
As a final comment, from my many years of cutting weeds, I have a strong conviction and recommendation to the City Council to study and revise the weed abatement program. It is antiquated and ambiguous, and has created more animosity and consternation than it prevents, and it needs to be reinvented. The weeds are not just owned by the property owners, as they didn’t plant them or make them grow; nor does the private sector cause snow to fall on the streets necessitating taxpayer’s money to remove it. The weeds belong to everybody in the valley and the removal, as with snow and ice similarly, should be shared by the public and the private sector together.
I am available to serve on a committee to research the abatement codes and to find more effective alternatives or modifications to the present codes for eradication of weeds.

Please vote to uphold our state’s Healthy Beverage Policy
As a pediatric dentist at the Marillac Clinic, I see what tooth decay is doing to many of our community’s children, especially kids from low-income families. Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease and diet is a major contributor. That’s why I feel compelled to speak up about an important matter before the Colorado State Board of Education.
On Sept. 14, the Board of Education has an opportunity to protect Colorado children from the negative influence of the sugary drink industry, whose products are so harmful to children’s oral and overall health. Voting “No” to replacing our state’s strong Healthy Beverage Policy with the weaker federal standards that would allow more juice in middle school and diet sodas back in our high schools (after being taken out in 2009) will send a strong message that kids’ health and wellness is a Colorado priority.
Soda, diet or otherwise, has no place in a healthy beverage policy. Diet soda contains acidic carbonation that erodes teeth, and any soda option may deter students from making healthier choices like water or milk. Reintroducing soda isn’t the only concern. Increasing the amount of juice that middle school students receive is also a bad idea. Sugar in juice decays kids’ teeth and offers little nutritional value – I see this daily in my practice. Whole fruit is far healthier for children’s teeth and bodies.
To the State Board of Education and our elected district-three member, Joyce Rankin: Please vote to uphold our state’s Healthy Beverage Policy and keep the bar higher in Colorado. With childhood obesity and tooth decay epidemics afflicting so many children in our community, this is not the time for weaker standards.

Efforts dedicated to protecting Gunnison sage-grouse from extinction
In the article published Saturday titled “Gunnison grouse plan comes up short, groups say,” David Ludlam, director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association, questioned the motives of conservation groups, stating that he thinks many groups aren’t necessarily interested in protecting the species, and that “It’s more about stopping development.” He couldn’t be more wrong.
For me, and the conservation group I work for, it’s all about protecting Gunnison sage-grouse from extinction. The first time I watched the grouse do their remarkable mating dance at dawn I was so fascinated that I barely noticed the cold and discomfort of sitting still for hours. The finicky female birds didn’t appear to be all that impressed by the males’ elaborate dances that morning, but I was. It was an unforgettable experience to watch the grouse dance while elk grazed nearby and a chorus of songbirds greeted the rising sun. I was inspired to work hard to help save this species.
I am far from alone in my interest in saving Gunnison sage-grouse. Coloradans from all walks of life are pitching in to help conserve the grouse. Volunteers have stepped up to restore habitat. Ranchers and landowners have put conservation easements in place to protect habitat on private property. More than 1,000 people have written letters and postcards asking public land managers protect critically important habitat in the San Miguel Basin and Dove Creek areas. Collaborative groups of individuals, representatives of conservation and industry organizations, and governmental agencies are actively working on solutions that protect grouse habitat while meeting the needs of public land users.
Our efforts aren’t about “stopping development.” They are about taking pride in Colorado’s unique bird, and working together to make sure that future generations have a chance to watch in wonder as Gunnison sage-grouse dance at sunrise.

Appointing special prosecutor to investigate donations is necessary
Many ask why Mr. Trump calls for a special prosecutor to look into the donations made to the Clinton Foundation during her time as Secretary of State and subsequent time as a candidate running for president of the United States. Well, even the appearance of impropriety is enough to warrant a special prosecutor, though in this case the evidence seems to indicate much more.
To understand the need for a special prosecutor it’s important to understand election law. Federal election law prohibits candidates for office from accepting contributions from anyone other than citizens of the United States of America. This means no foreign government, person, or other entity may contribute to a candidate running for office in the United States.
At the time these donations were made Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State and she certainly had a major impact on the direction of U.S. foreign policy. At worst, she made foreign policy decisions based on advice from foreign entities that contributed to the Clinton Foundation. At best, there was the perception these things took place.
Both the appearance of pay-to-play actions and preferential treatment can have an unfavorable impact on our criminal justice system. The cornerstone of a free society is the rule of law and one of the foundational principles of the rule of law is that all people are treated equally under the law.
The only way to avoid the perception and ensure all Americans are treated equally under the law is to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the allegations. At worst, Mrs. Clinton engaged in a practice where she gave special treatment to foreign governments, persons, or entities thus impacting U.S. foreign policy during her time as Secretary of State. At a minimum the perception exists. Regardless, a special prosecutor is a must.

Lies are in the eyes of the beholder
Lies are in the eyes of the beholder! The only difference between the Ryan Lochte and Hillary Clinton scandals is that Lochte will be brutally criticized by foreign governments, lose his endorsements, and probably have his life destroyed. Clinton will continue to get support from the mainstream media, keep the money from foreign governments with probably more to come, and will possibly get elected to the presidency.

Palisade outlasts Montrose in opener
Thursday was the first softball game of the season for Palisade and Montrose, and at times, it was rough around the edges.
Palisade came away with a 16-15 win in a game that featured 38 combined hits and 12 errors between the two teams in the nonleague game at Bergman Field.
Sophomore pitcher Courtney Thompson went the distance for Palisade to get the win.
Palisade coach Jeff DeCrow said the team is young with no seniors and only two juniors.
“We’re going to be asking a lot of some of the younger kids,” he said.
Palisade used a nine-run second inning to take a 9-4 lead. In the top of the sixth, Montrose scored seven runs with two outs to turn a 13-7 deficit into a 14-13 lead.
The Bulldogs came right back with three runs in the bottom of the inning to retake the lead at 16-14.
Eimy Aguirre had a home run and scored two runs, and Cassie Bittner added two hits and scored three runs for the Bulldogs. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/sports/articles/palisade-outlasts-montrose-in-prep-softball-opener | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/6d16086e033c4f3eaccb6d551bb092c02cd6a9e01ec5891a7685da71b82d46d3.json |

Grand Junction Rockies recap, Aug. 25, 2016
Thursday at Lindquist Field
Grand Junction 12, Ogden 3
Records
Grand Junction 14-9 (30-31), Ogden 13-11 (30-32)
Consistent scoring
Grand Junction’s big night at the plate came thanks, in part, to an abundance of base hits.
Manuel Melendez, Colton Welker and Roberto Ramos each tallied three hits as part of a 16-hit attack for the Rockies, who scored at least one run in six of their first seven innings. Melendez drove in four runs and also hit his team-leading sixth home run, a solo shot with two outs in the second inning. For the second straight night Melendez was a triple short of the cycle.
Welker now has nine hits in his past three games.
The run total marked the fifth time Grand Junction has scored at least 12 runs in a game this year and, including Thursday’s game, three of those have come against Ogden.
On the mound
Alejandro Requena (2-5, 4.68 ERA) was solid on the mound for GJ. He gave up one unearned run and six hits, but walked no one and struck out eight in five innings. For Ogden, Josh Kimborowicz lasted four innings, allowing seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts. Four of the seven runs he allowed were earned and, as a pitching staff, the Raptors allowed six unearned runs.
In the field
Grand Junction’s stellar night at the plate was helped by the five errors committed by the Raptors. Two of them led to the two unearned runs the Rockies scored in the first inning.
The key inning
The Rockies’ three-run fourth inning, highlighted by a single from Jose Gomez that scored all three runs thanks to an Ogden throwing error, blew the game open. Grand Junction followed that with a four-run fifth inning that was highlighted by a bases-clearing double from Melendez that gave the Rockies an 11-1 lead.
Extending their lead
The victory, which gave Grand Junction its ninth win in their past 12 games, gave the Rockies a 1½-game lead over second-place Ogden in the Pioneer League South Division. The schedule looks good for Grand Junction with eight of its final 12 games at Suplizio Field, including a four-game season-ending series with the Raptors starting Sept. 5.
On deck
Grand Junction at Ogden, 7:05 p.m., Lindquist Field

Cricket Ecstasy
“Want to hear some crickets?”
Mom called from midwest’s hot eve
As she held the phone
To the window screen.
Crickets bring an ambience
To hot, still summer nights
Their chorus lulls me into ecstasy
Little black shamans of the night.
And we agreed when the moon is full
We’d each go outside at night
Though two thousand miles apart
And both observe the same sight.
I can still hear her voice
Though she’s long dead
Simultaneous moonwatchers
Crickets singing in my head.

Colorado officials delay discussion on oil and gas rules
GREELEY — Officials in northern Colorado have postponed discussion about stricter oil and gas rules for a second time.
The Greeley Tribune reports that Weld County leaders have been considering tightening the rules for oil and gas development since last year. The Board of Weld County Commissioners delayed the talks for a second time Wednesday morning.
The board says it needs more time to work with state oil and gas regulators.
Under current regulations, oil and gas companies get to skip two public hearings that are required for building projects in other industries. The hearings would allow residents to air their grievances and allow commissioners to ask the companies to address their complaints. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/breaking/articles/colorado-officials-delay-discussion-on-oil-and-gas-rules | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/50ac7c6a2079f2a22bd36ffc38e5599e74c9f5beee481785fe36ae7c10f2dfb1.json |

Perceived threat left on cop’s voicemail
A Mesa County judge on Thursday cited public safety concerns in issuing a cash-only bond to a man who allegedly made a veiled threat in a voicemail message left for a police investigator looking into possible insurance and pawnbroker fraud.
“I see why ... policemen like you get shot,” was part of a message left by Victor Young, 55, Grand Junction, an African-American, according to his arrest warrant affidavit.
Young was evidently upset about police placing a number of items of jewelry into evidence when he left the message, among other angry voicemails. He later called the investigator back and apologized for “being nasty” in his earlier message, police said.
Prosecutors on Thursday said they’d been in communication with law enforcement officials who were particularly concerned about the possible threat. That, plus Young’s alleged prior history of “threaten(ing) crime with intent to terrorize,” as noted in Young’s arrest affidavit, led to prosecutors to argue for a cash-only bond in the case.
Mesa County Court Judge Bruce Raaum agreed with prosecutors, saying “public safety concerns” outweighed the recommendation for a personal-recognizance bond, which was raised by Young’s public defender, and he issued Young a $1,500 cash-only bond in the case.
Young appeared Thursday advised of possible charges of insurance fraud, forgery, theft, false reporting to authorities, and providing false information on a pawn slip.
According to police, Young pawned a number of valuable items that he claimed as lost or stolen in a prior insurance claim.
He’s set to return to court on Sept. 1. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/perceived-threat-left-on-cops-voicemail | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/a525f920f70cd2809d350c2aa74754abc22d9fd42918dc28ddd1fc80238d2a12.json |

Quick-moving squall wreaks a little havoc
A quick-moving storm wind-whipped trees, dropped some rain in the Grand Valley and knocked out power for about an hour on the Redlands on Thursday evening.
About 0.17 inch of rain was recorded in the valley in the early evening and winds were clocked as high as 62 mph in De Beque, said Joe Ramey, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
More rain was expected to fall late Thursday night, but the chance for rain today “drops off significantly, though it’s not zero,” Ramey said.
Those up early today may have noticed some fog in the Grand Valley and temperatures dipping down to the high 40s and low 50s, which is unusual for August.
“I think as far as temperatures go (today) we’ll struggle to get out of the 70s,” Ramey said.
However, while warm temperatures have stalled, don’t expect autumn just yet. Temperatures are slated to return to the 80s for the weekend and the 90s by next week, Ramey said.
“Summer is not over,” he said. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/quickmoving-squall8232-wreaks-a-little-havoc | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/e213ea1d8885aa112bec676dbcca4ca14ec6aef46b856effcef31b07458f724a.json |

University campus goes first class
Major upgrades greet CMU students as they kick off fall semester
Colorado Mesa University students who started classes Monday are enjoying more than just a clean slate for grades and a full calendar of back-to-school activities — there are a handful of new campus restaurants, a new residence hall and nine new majors or certificates this year.
While university staff have not yet taken an official student census, spokeswoman Dana Nunn said enrollment is expected to rise one to three percent, or 100 to 300 more students than the end of term fall 2015 enrollment of 9,448.
Freshman Devarius Sykes, a culinary arts student, said he visited campus many times before deciding to attend.
“It’s a great atmosphere. It feels like a home away from home, and I like the friendly environment,” he said.
Returning students, like sophomore Megan Ramstetter, are heading straight for the remodeled dining options at the University Center, including a convenience store, grill, noodle and sushi shop and Chick-fil-A restaurant.
“It looks really good and I like the changes,” she said. “It’s pretty cool to be able to have more options to eat. I live on campus, so I like that it’s so close and I don’t have to walk that far.”
Freshman Kiyah Thomas is one of the 148 students living in Wingate Hall, the newest residence hall on campus.
The new building is four stories, 43,843 square feet and cost $12.6 million. It includes elevated study lofts that are shared between two rooms.
“We’re the first people to live there and it’s beautiful,” Thomas said. “I feel like I got the best deal. I’m happy and I’m pretty sure with the new buildings going up, they’re going to continue to get better.”
Those new buildings include a $26 million engineering building, which breaks ground in September and is scheduled to be completed in January 2018, and the $12.3 million remodel and construction of a health sciences building at the former Community Hospital site, which is scheduled to be finished by July 2017.
New majors or programs of study include early childhood education, studio art, cultural resource management, cyber security, licensed practical nurse, viticulture and enology, electric lineworker and automotive service technician.
There are also seven new construction projects on the horizon for CMU. On Aug. 19, the Board of Trustees approved a capital construction request for $17.7 million from the state for four projects — an expansion and renovation of the Moss Performing Arts Center, a new electrical lineworker program, marching band storage and a combined cooling, heating and power facility on campus.
There are also plans to construct an on-campus, 91-bed teaching hotel ($15.7 million), a new residence hall ($11.4 million) and a student parking garage ($14.8 million). | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/university-campus-goes-first-class | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/743877a9cf939411ef127366208e2ec0b7b15e5d86ad84dd46fa51c0f566e712.json |

High-money parties raise campaign stakes
The same day that U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton’s re-election committee criticized his Democratic opponent, Gail Schwartz, for cozying up to “elitist” campaign donors, the Republican congressman was attending a campaign fundraiser near posh Aspen.
In a fundraising email to donors, the Tipton camp said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., held a fundraiser recently for Schwartz “and a few other close allies” at Pelosi’s San Francisco home.
“California billionaires have bankrolled ballot measures to shut down our oil and gas companies and now they are funding politicians to help achieve the same goals in Washington,” the email says, which goes on to ask for donations.
The email went out a few hours before Tipton attended a fundraiser held on his behalf at the Woody Creek home of Robert Jenkins, a real estate developer and regular contributor of Republican candidates.
The special guest at that event was U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, chairman of the House Rules Committee.
Tipton spokesman Michael Fortney said Pelosi is only helping to raise funds for Schwartz so the former state senator can cast a vote for Pelosi as speaker of the U.S. House, something that isn’t likely to happen because Democrats aren’t expected to retake a majority in the House in November.
At the same time, Fortney said current GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan “will receive congressman Tipton’s vote for speaker.”
Fortney, however, wouldn’t address why having Ryan and former House Speaker John Boehner — and now Sessions — actively helping raise funds for Tipton was acceptable, but not so for Pelosi and Schwartz.
Schwartz said Fortney and other Republicans have long tried to denigrate her as an “Aspen elitist” during her eight years representing Senate District 5 in the Colorado Legislature, which includes Pitkin County. At the time, she lived in Snowmass Village just outside of Aspen, but has since moved to Crested Butte.
“To use this as a political attack, we all live in glass houses,” Schwartz said in an interview. “This is the name of the game. This is the only time I have gone outside of the state to be involved with any of these gatherings.”
According to Schwartz’s latest campaign finance filings with the Federal Election Commission, she has accepted money from Pelosi directly and other Democratic candidates.
But then so has Tipton when it comes to his party’s establishment.
His filings show that of the $1.1 million he’s taken in since January 2015, about $482,000 has come from out-of-state sources, with nearly half of that money from various Washington, D.C.-based political action committees.
While Fortney says Schwartz’s financial backers will cause her to do the bidding of those who oppose the oil and gas industry, Schwartz said she won’t be doing what Tipton was accused of earlier this year, introducing legislation that was largely drafted by one of his financial donors.
“We should bristle at the fact that people gain influence through their donations,” Schwartz said.
“That shouldn’t be the norm. I don’t think citizens want to see that dollars will buy legislation or votes,” she said. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/highmoney-parties-raise-campaign-stakes | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/759496b4cb84c26b120e4714af780c9aadcadf28c90a9551dac49e4c07461ade.json |

And Another Thing: The Lochte Mess Monster
QUICKREAD TRENDING
NEWS ANCHOR: We go now live to a press conference, where Ryan Lochte is addressing the media ...
RYAN LOCHTE: Good morning.
I apologize for being late. I would have gotten here sooner, however, I was just carjacked by six members of ISIS. Fortunately I was able to fight them off using only a Starbucks Frappuccino and some toenail clippers.
I called this press conference to apologize for something very ugly and disturbing. And no, I’m not talking about my bleached hair.
I’m talking about what happened a few nights ago in Rio.
I would have addressed this situation earlier; however, I didn’t want to be a distraction during the Olympics. Fortunately, the closing ceremonies just ended.
The opening ceremonies, however, are still going on. In fact, the last time I checked the TV, a very sleepy delegation of athletes from Yemen was preparing to enter the stadium, while the contingent from Zimbabwe gathered to consider officially changing their name to AAAAZimbabwe before the 2020 games.
But let’s get back to the purpose of this press conference.
Sometimes, when a man makes a mistake, he just has to suck it up, face the music, look everyone in the eye, and have his PR firm write an apology on Twitter.
However, that didn’t seem to work, so they suggested I talk with you.
Let me be clear, I was not robbed at gunpoint in Rio.
I was murdered.
Not only that, I was touched in an inappropriate manner by a macaw.
Nevertheless, in my initial accounts of the incident, I may have exaggerated a bit. Particularly the part about how Jason Bourne and I killed 20 ninjas while intercepting an illegal shipment of nuclear weapons.
The story in which I claimed my taxi was stopped and I was robbed at gunpoint late at night by a Brazilian gang is not entirely accurate. But you have to admit it was a good story. Much better than telling people I got a ticket for peeing behind a gas station.
That’s why I am here today: to rehab my public image in hopes of retaining my corporate sponsors.
Unfortunately some of them are dropping me. Like Ralph Lauren. When executives from Ralph Lauren heard I was in some trouble, they immediately asked their marketing people, “Who the hell is this Ryan Lochte? And why are we paying him money?”
So they may not have even heard about the lies in Brazil.
But others have. Speedo just dropped me. Speedo! You know it’s bad when people who wear Speedos think YOU’RE embarrassing. At this rate I’ll be lucky to get sponsorship from “Billy-Joe’s House of Ribs.”
So I take this matter seriously. I understand there are serious consequences for lying. I could be sanctioned, or arrested, or chosen as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president.
I don’t take this situation lightly. Unlike my hair, which, as you can see, is back to a natural hair color. Personally I liked the all-white hair, but my PR team thought the American public would respond better to someone who didn’t look like a coconut-flavored snow cone.
I understand I have some work to do. People hate me and think I’m an attention whore. In hindsight I shouldn’t walk around the mall wearing my 12 Olympic medals.
Others claim I’m sending out the worst possible image of Americans to the world. But they don’t realize that “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” is broadcast to 160 countries.
I will learn from this and not let it define me. After all, other celebrities have proved that PR hiccups won’t alter a career trajectory. Just look how well Anthony Weiner and Tiger Woods are doing after their big scandals.
Perhaps those are bad examples.
Nevertheless, I will move on from this. Despite lapses in judgment, I retain my dignity. I’ve made mistakes, but no one can take away my pride.
Except for maybe some burglars in Brazil. Those people are savages.

Kickoff classic
Freeland carries Montrose past Fruita in wild opener
Jim Scarry heard it all this summer.
The Montrose High School football coach listened to rumblings of a “down year” in Montrose. He heard time and again about the numerous seniors the Indians lost to graduation and the new quarterback under center.
A part of him knew the Indians had plenty of potential, but it’s hard to know until the lights come on.
Scarry isn’t wondering anymore.
Montrose took advantage of big plays in all three phases of the game Thursday and held off a late comeback by Fruita Monument to secure a 33-27 nonconference victory at Stocker Stadium to open the season.
“I have heard it,” Scarry said. “I’ve seen them practice, but until you see it in a game, that’s a whole different story. They responded in the correct way. They stepped up and played for each other.”
A big portion of the Indians’ success started up front. Scarry credited Montrose’s offensive line, as did Fruita Monument coach Todd Casebier, and the numbers reflected the Indians’ success.
Running back Riley Freeland ran for 282 yards on 27 carries and found the end zone once for Montrose on an 80-yard run early in the second quarter.
Freeland blew through Fruita’s second level and met a streaking Wildcats safety inside the red zone. Freeland planted and cut outside. The safety’s knees buckled as he slipped on the wet turf as the running back scampered untouched into the end zone.
It was the second stage of a two-part counterpunch by the Indians.
Fruita struck first on a 1-yard dive from Logan Triplett, capping a 10-play, 53-yard opening drive.
Montrose responded on the next drive with a 2-yard touchdown run from junior quarterback Caleb Egbert. A 49-yard run by Freeland, where the senior slipped between two linebackers before he was dragged down from behind, sparked the rally when facing third-and-four.
Fruita’s next drive drifted into the second quarter and the Wildcats punted with 10:17 until halftime.
That’s when Freeland broke his big run for the 13-7 lead after a missed PAT. Scarry said that was where Montrose gained loads of confidence.
Freeland agreed and credited his offensive line.
“As for me, I couldn’t have done anything without the guys up front,” Freeland said. “All those cuts, every single run that I made, it was all made possible by those guys giving me room.”
Fruita responded quickly, with sophomore quarterback Zach Rush rolling to his left and throwing a dart back across his body to Daniel Van Hoose. Van Hoose scampered the final five yards for a 26-yard score.
Then, the mistakes piled up for the Wildcats.
Montrose senior Mason Weig ran back the kickoff for a touchdown to retake the lead. After one offensive play by Fruita, a handoff was botched and Montrose fell on the fumble.
The Wildcats stopped the Indians on fourth-and-one, but Casebier said the mistakes were too much. Montrose took a 20-14 lead into the locker room.
“We did not play mistake-free football and that’s what you have to do in zero week,” Casebier said. “Montrose did everything better than us.”
Casebier, who spent a decade coaching in Montrose, also took responsibility for the loss.
“I pushed these kids too hard this week,” Casebier said. “I probably wanted this more than I should have and this loss starts with me. I didn’t have my team ready and I have to do a better job next week.
“Montrose gets all the credit. They played tough, scrappy, mistake-free football and they beat us on the line of scrimmage more times than not.”
The Indians pushed the lead to 27-14 late in the third with a 1-yard touchdown from Egbert before Fruita made its final push in the fourth.
The Wildcats capped a long drive early in the fourth with a 1-yard touchdown from Triplett. Down six points, a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty extended Montrose’s drive and led to another short touchdown for Egbert.
Fruita answered yet again with 3:33 remaining. Rush found Kyle Fineran on a lofted pass to the end zone for a 31-yard TD, but Casebier said it was “too little, too late.”
Montrose recovered the onside kick and Fruita stopped the Indians just short of converting on fourth-and-four. Rush led a frantic drive from his own 33-yard line, setting up a potential touchdown pass in the final moments.
The sophomore tossed a high ball to a leaping Fruita receiver but the pass fell incomplete, and the Indians walked off with the victory.
After the wild game, Freeland was ecstatic.
“This is the best game I’ve ever experienced, man,” he said. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/sports/articles/kickoff-classic | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/a55e8a0f4a96e312703a0b2b1fecd81e4840591f2cb3b547d8f4bd905290e750.json |

Second case of assault against man on probation
A 23-year-old man on probation for a domestic violence conviction faces a possible second-degree assault charge in a new case, after police allege he strangled a victim set to testify against him in yet another domestic violence-related case.
An arrest warrant affidavit for Marcus Dean alleges Dean “came up behind (a victim), placing his arm around her throat and began choking her,” this following an argument about the victim testifying in an upcoming hearing in which Dean is accused of assault.
After responding to an address in the 2800 block of Orchard Avenue late Wednesday, police officers said the alleged victim had bloodshot eyes and a scratchy voice, along with signs of petechial hemmorrhage in one of her eyes, bleeding that often is indicative of strangulation.
“(The victim) said Marcus continued choking her until she began to pass out and then he let go of her,” police wrote in an affidavit.
Because of his prior history, which includes two assault cases involving the same victim, Mesa County Court Judge Bruce Raaum issued Dean a $2,500 cash-only bond on Thursday.
He’s set for a return to court on Sept. 1.
By state statute, second-degree assault occurs when a person intentionally causes serious bodily injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon.
In this case prosecutors allege the deadly weapon was Dean’s hands engaged in the act of strangulation. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/second-case8232of-assault-8232against-man-8232on-p | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/088681bbe622e2050b891db6adca2db15ed619a0c393f0150f46db0a55da9fa3.json |

Remains found in Utah could be hiker missing since 2011
KAMAS, Utah — Authorities believe they have found the remains of an Australian hiker who went missing more than five years ago in Utah’s High Uinta Mountains.
Summit and Duchesne county sheriff’s offices said Wednesday that the skeletal remains were found Friday near Allsop Lake by a father and son from Coalville. They were next to items that belonged to 64-year-old Eric Robinson, an outdoorsman who took hiking excursions to the Himalayas.
The remains were found about 10 miles away from where Robinson was last seen on Aug. 2, 2011, in the Yellowstone Creek Drainage. He started walking the 60-mile Highline Trail on July 28 and was expected to fly to British Columbia on Aug. 7 for another hike.
The remains were taken to the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office for DNA testing. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/breaking/articles/remains-found-in-utah-could-be-hiker-missing-since-2011 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/f4f970c8b8e9d5391a9b30bea6d4d21c75c5449a4ee50a92d95bc48c314bcc2c.json |

Traveling to LLWS an enjoyable time for Challenger team
Editor’s note: Sentinel Sports writer Patti Arnold traveled to the Little League World Series with the Grand Junction Challenger Baseball team and will be reporting all week about the team and its special opportunity to be part of one of America’s great sports traditions.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Little Isabella Jacobson giggled as the plane took off, and every time there was a little turbulence. She squealed with laughter during a seat-shifting landing in Chicago.
The 9-year-old Challenger Baseball player had the back half of the plane giggling along with her as she experienced “tummy ticklers” during the team’s day-long travel from Denver to Chicago, then on to Pittsburgh, where the group of nearly 70 players, buddies, parents and coaches patiently waited for a late-arriving bus to take them to Williamsport for the Little League World Series.
This wasn’t Isabella’s first flight, but a couple of players climbed aboard an airplane for the first time Thursday.
In fact, Wednesday night was the first time Malia McConnell had stayed in a hotel.
“Cool,” Malia, 18, said of her first night away from home. She and her mother, Connie, walked around the hotel, snapping pictures.
Pictures ... so many pictures were taken Thursday, starting when the kids sleepily climbed aboard Colorado Mesa buses at 5:15 a.m., bound for Denver International Airport. The team picture with the District 1 championship banner at the airport. More pictures waiting to board, and even more once they got on board, including a giant team selfie, thanks to Challenger co-director Kelli Hamilton packing her selfie stick.
Everywhere the kids went, they were treated like rock stars.
The entire group got priority boarding in Denver, filling the back half of the plane, some of the players sitting with parents, some with their buddies from the Colorado Mesa baseball team.
As they waited to board, airline personnel introduced the team, telling other travelers that they were heading to the Little League World Series, bringing cheers from the contingent from Grand Junction and applause from other passengers.
The Challenger game is at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday (MDT) and will be shown live on PBS (KRMJ, Channel 6 in Grand Junction). The game will also be streamed on WatchESPN and the WatchESPN app.
They were introduced again on both flights, and wished well as they got off the plane in Pittsburgh.
“No matter your disabilities or abilities, they’re gonna show ‘em how it’s done,” the flight attendant announced, bringing another round of cheers.
Malia admitted she was nervous before boarding the plane in Denver.
“I was thinking I was scared,” she said with a grin.
“She held my hand when we took off, but she did great,” Connie McConnell said.
“My stomach flip-flopped, and I was like, ‘oooh,’ ‘’ Malia added.
Playing Challenger baseball the past three years has helped bring Malia out of her shell, her mother said.
“I’m so proud of her, it’s been awesome,” Connie said. “She’s had a lot of social anxiety and playing baseball has really brought her out and she’s so much more comfortable around people. This standing here like this (in front of cameras being interviewed in a busy airport), she probably would have had an anxiety attack. Getting on a plane? That never would have happened. I think Ryan (Teixiera, her buddy) helped a lot.”
The Mavericks immediately bonded with the kids when they were buddies during the season, and the feeling was mutual.
“Their buddies are amazing,” said Christie Gordon, whose son, Cody, 18, will play his final Challenger game Saturday. “To take these kids with no training of any sort of special needs, from the first moment they just loved each other from the very first time.”
Isabella was about worn out after the plane landed in Pittsburgh, so her buddy, Jake Druce, scooped her up in his arms and carried her on the long walk through the terminal to baggage claim. She wasn’t the only one — Trevor Elcock fell sound asleep a few minutes into the bus ride from the Pittsburgh airport to dinner, slumping over on the shoulder of his player, Spencer Campbell, who simply smiled as Elcock’s twin brother, Kevan, encouraged Campbell to wake his brother up.
Despite the long travel day, the kids still had smiles on their faces.
“I was so amazed when she got picked,” Connie McConnell said. “When they called and asked if she’d be willing to go, of course, anything we have to do we’ll do so we can go. You can’t pass up an opportunity like this.”
“When my mom told me, I was so happy,” said Malia, wiping away happy tears. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/sports/articles/traveling-to-llws-an-enjoyable-time-for-challenger | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/46a7b25d1ce5d3b90a780c1316437a09f120059b65d182b830e7ce7296075547.json |

The water’s fine: Junction’s Kline gets seniors swimming at Western Colorado Senior Games
Just because he’s been swimming most of his life doesn’t mean Bob Kline is going to discriminate against anyone who just started swimming competitively. Quite the contrary.
“He’s actually one of the reasons I’m here now,” said Leota Sweetman-Mcpeek, a 66-year-old swimmer in the Western Colorado Senior Games. “He’s always the one who encourages us to compete and try things that we’re not really great at, like the (500-yard freestyle) or other events in the pool.”
Kline, 81, said he was a proponent in getting the Senior Games to Grand Junction 16 years ago. With the Senior Games’ arrival, plenty of other seniors have taken the dive into the pool to enter a competitive arena for the first time in their lives.
“I enjoy swimming, I enjoy being in the water and I enjoy being fit, but I had never competed in anything until the Senior Games,” said Sweetman-Mcpeek, who is competing in the event for the 10th consecutive year. “I’m so old we didn’t have girls sports when I was a child. It just wasn’t an option when I was young.
“So this makes it really fun. And looking at me, I’m short and I’m not fast, but it’s thrilling to me to see if I can keep up with myself from what I did here a year ago.”
Grand Junction Parks and Recreation Coordinator Lorie Gregor said participation numbers in swimming, which was held at the Orchard Mesa pool, ballooned to 40, after the event only drew around 20 last year.
“I’ll admit, last year I was thinking to myself, ‘Should we even do swimming anymore?’ ” Gregor said.
Kline has much more ambitious participation numbers in mind.
“I think it would be great to see dozens, and even hundreds, of people here doing this,” Kline said.
Kline, who spent 35 years working for the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction before retiring in 1990, swam at Denver North High School and in college at Colorado A&M in Fort Collins (now Colorado State). He also swam competitively as a senior, competing in the Senior Games when they were in Montrose.
He lobbied former Grand Junction recreation coordinator Linda LaVerne to bring the Senior Games — and the swimming events that came with it — to Grand Junction.
“I got after these people for about three or four years,” Kline said. “I think it finally got to a point where they said, ‘Leave us alone and we’ll look into it.’ “
Sixteen years after the event first came to Grand Junction, the tenacity Kline showed to get the event here has translated into a passion for physical activity everyone competing now shares.
“One event I can (outswim my husband) in is the breaststroke,” 69-year-old Annemieke Ambrosier said with a laugh about her husband of 47 years, “He can walk faster than me, he can shoot better than me. But I’ve got that on him.”
Not that it would matter too much in the final results. Unlike other Senior Games events held across the nation, Gregor said participants can’t qualify for the National Senior Games. That makes the annual event in Grand Junction much more of a social event, incorporating a competitive atmosphere without the win-at-all-costs mindset some athletes have.
And with that comes an occasional laugh. Kline, for example, finished second in his heat of the 25-yard breaststroke, which was one of seven events he competed in Thursday. He made a mistake, though: he swam the freestyle instead of the breaststroke.
It wasn’t a big deal, though. After all, some of the people he helped inspire to swim enjoyed the light moment with him.
“I could have sworn they said freestyle before I got in the water,” he said, smiling. “I guess I’ll swim the right stroke next time.” | http://www.gjsentinel.com/sports/articles/the-waters-fine-junctions-kline-gets-seniors-swimm | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/4e8e43b7b245fc683949450194e57cfd622bbad335a32c3c16df8acd673ed1ab.json |

They are, as Wallace Stegner famously wrote, “the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst.”
America’s national parks demonstrate that as a people “we have fallen heirs to the most glorious heritage a people ever received, and each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune,” said Theodore Roosevelt, who was widely known as the conservation president.
But it was never enough for Congress to simply set the lands aside, designating them as national parks or monuments or battlefields. They needed to be cared for and protected, made a haven for visitors from around the world while preserving irreplaceable heritage and land.
So, exactly 100 years ago today — Aug. 25, 1916 — President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act to establish the National Park Service within the Department of the Interior, whose duty is to “promote and regulate the use of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments, and reservations hereinafter specified by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the said parks, monuments, and reservations, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”
One hundred years along, and the green and gray uniforms of the National Park Service, complete with a Smokey Bear hat, are as iconic as the sites the people wearing the uniforms are charged with overseeing.

Keeping blue yonder safe
Commercial drone pilots anticipate, fret about, new FAA rules
Commercial drone pilots won’t have to fly through as many government hoops thanks to new rules that will be going into effect at the end of the month.
Instead of getting what basically amounts to a pilot’s license to fly unmanned aircraft for commercial purposes, all those drone pilots need to do under new Federal Aviation Administration rules is pass a “knowledge test.”
While some Grand Valley residents say that is a good thing, others are still a bit wary about what it all will mean.
Erika Jones, marketing director for Synergy Marketing Consultants, says it’s not the current commercial fliers who she’s worried about. It’s everyone else.
“The new rules definitely help keep what we do legit,” said Jones, whose employer has been using drones and cameras for such business clients as Bray Real Estate to help sell homes. “Not every Tom, Dick and Harry can run down to the hobby store and buy one and say, ‘Hey, I’m a drone pilot.’ The regulations help, but as far as changing anything that we’ve done ... as far as safety we’ve always followed our own common sense and extreme safety rules. Now they’re coming out with safety rules, and that’s nice, but it’s what we’ve always done.”
The new rules require commercial drone pilots only to take a test to demonstrate that they know what they are doing, and to obtain a remote pilot certificate afterward, one that they will have to keep updated every few years.
That test, which won’t be available until Aug. 29, will cost people $150 to take, but there are only a few places in the state where they can do that.
According to the FAA, there are 12 such certified testing places, only two of which are on the Western Slope: The Colorado Flight Center, 800 Heritage Way, in Grand Junction, and the Northwest Colorado Community College, 500 Kennedy Drive, in Rangely.
A spokeswoman for the flight center said test-takers have two hours to take the online test, but if they fail they have to wait two weeks to take it again and pay the same $150 cost.
Jones said there are already numerous people who want to take it, saying the first scheduled test is already booked solid.
The problem, Jones says, is the fact that the new rules don’t apply to recreational drone flyers, many of whom aren’t as aware as she thinks they should be when it comes to safety.
Unlike model airplane enthusiasts, who have long learned the lessons of flying safely and not endangering people on the ground, drones are different because they don’t require the same take-off and landing areas.
Many don’t know that they aren’t supposed to fly near airports or over ball fields or even people on the ground, Jones said.
“It’s people like that who make what we do difficult,” Jones said. “We don’t fly for fun. We’ve got tens of thousands of dollars invested in our equipment. We make sure we are up to par, but there are just idiots out there who are giving the drone industry in general a really bad name.”
Jones said she’s seen footage, for example, from drone cameras showing Mount Garfield that clearly are going right through the flight path for the Grand Junction Regional Airport.
While the new FAA rules don’t apply to drone enthusiasts, they still have to follow simple safety rules, such as making sure their crafts are always within sight, fly at low altitudes and don’t fly into restricted air space, such as airports or into areas where there’s an active forest fire.
To help people know all that, the FAA has created a special website — http://www.faa.gov/uas — to tell them the do’s and don’ts of drone flying.
The site also offers a free smartphone app called, B4UFLY, to help unmanned aircraft operators determine if there are any restrictions or special requirements in effect at the location they are flying their drones.
Rich Alward, a Grand Junction environmental geologist, isn’t using drones in his consulting business, but is considering it.
Up until now, Alward, a former member of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, has only been a recreational user of drones, spending the past year learning about them, and even joining a local model airplane club to help him do that.
But because Alward has been considering integrating drone technology in his business, he’s become very aware of the new FAA rules, and likes what he sees.
“It’s been quite a while in coming to having workable rules, but I think what they’ve proposed is really pretty good,” Alward said. “There are reasonable requirements, reasonable restrictions as far as over people and in populated areas, staying below where airplanes are allowed to fly.”
Until he decides whether he will integrate drones into his business, he’s still having some fun with flying drones recreationally, all the time learning more about how to use them responsibly.
Alward agrees with Jones in that people who want to fly drones should learn to be more responsible, but added that if the abuse were as wide as some believe, the Colorado Legislature would pass its own set of laws and regulations governing their use, which it hasn’t.
“Ideally, you should fly under the auspices of a model airplane club or something like that where there are expected ways of behaving and responsibility levels,” Alward said. “Folks who fly really high or in dangerous situations, they make it tougher for everyone else.” | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/keeping-blue-yonder-safe | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/ff7e0f0f4a090f0ff7e21d16141827e2d0d57a2ecd08a464ef3260b287b2e399.json |

Triple Played: Amazing Rhythm Aces worthy of binge listening
I have been listening to a lot of Amazing Rhythm Aces lately. I don’t know about you, but there are times when I will do some serious binge listening to a certain artist or group. Sometimes it is a newly discovered artist. More often, though, it usually is someone that I have been listening to for more than 25 years. In the case of the Aces it has been over 40 years.
It was 1975 when I first heard their first hit, “Third Rate Romance,” from the LP “Stacked Deck,” released that same year. Other great songs from that record are “the Ella B,” “Emma Jean,” “Hit the Nail On the Head,” and “King of the Cowboys,” and “Who Will the Next Fool Be?”
They were made up of Barry Burton, lead guitar, steel guitar, dobro and mandolin; Billy Earhart, piano and organ; Butch McDade, drums and percussion; James Hooker, piano; Jeff Davis, bass; and Russell Smith, rhythm guitar, harmonica, lead and background vocals and chief songwriter. With a unique blend of classic country seamlessly blended with soulful Memphis R&B, as well as very clever songwriting, they immediately caught my ear.
It all seemed to come together with their second LP, the 1975 classic “Too Stuffed To Jump” with its unforgettable cover. Ten great songs. No filler. Starting on side one with the still relevant “Typical American Boy” all the way through side two to the last track, “Dancing the Night Away.” In between is their biggest hit, “The End Is Not In Sight (The Cowboy Tune)”, which garnered the band a Grammy Award, along with “If I Just Knew What to Say,” “Same Ol’ Me,” “These Dreams Of Losing You,” “I’ll Be Gone,” and “Little Italy Rag.” “I’ll Be Gone” and “Out of the Snow” had to be written in the Colorado mountains. They are amazing songs that still resonate with me today on an LP, which became sought after by some collectors after it went out of print and before it was available on CD.
It was right around this same time that the Amazing Rhythm Aces began playing live shows in this area. I cannot say how many times they have played here, but they are at the top of my list as far as how many of their shows I have seen. I always felt that I got my money’s worth at their shows. The band truly loved what they were doing. They played with passion, and, vocally, Smith put everything he had into every song. They have also been playing long enough that I saw them as a teenager and was also able to take my son, Matthew, to their show at the Hilton when he was 10. In fact, promoter Ron Wilson just told me that they are still touring.
“Burning the Ballroom Down” from 1977 is an album made up of mostly torch songs. It contains some of my favorites by the band, including the title track and “A Jackass Gets His Oates,” “Out Of Control,” “Red to Blue,” “the Spirit Walk” and “Della’s Long Brown Hair.”
Three more LPs were released before the end of the 1970s: “Toucan Do It Too,” “Amazing Rhythm Aces” and “How the Hell Do You Spell Rhythm?” In my opinion all three of these are excellent records — not as good as the first three, but very listenable and enjoyable. Their next album of all new material, “Chock Full Of Country Goodness,” was released in 1999.

Witness: Birgfeld blackmail story was a lie
A former client of slain Grand Junction call girl and single mother Paige Birgfeld said Thursday that early in the investigation he fabricated a story to law enforcement that she was blackmailing him in order to avoid coming under scrutiny himself.
Steven Heald, a former Delta resident, testified Thursday that, even though he seemingly gave himself a motive in Birgfeld’s 2007 disappearance by claiming she was demanding hush money to hide their sexual relationship from Heald’s wife, that story was a lie, and he had nothing to do with her death.
“She never blackmailed me,” Heald said on the witness stand. “(At the time) I am trying to protect myself and trashing someone who did not deserve to be trashed.”
Defense attorneys have presented Heald as one of several alternate suspects they say could have kidnapped and killed Birgfeld instead of Lester Ralph Jones, who is standing trial for the crime.
Law enforcement briefly investigated Heald as a suspect, but ultimately cleared him after his alibi was verified, according to testimony Thursday.
Birgfeld disappeared June 28, 2007, after returning to Grand Junction from a day picnicking in Eagle. Three days later, her car was found on fire in a parking lot not far from the Grand Junction business where Jones worked at the time. An accelerant — gasoline — was found to have been used in the blaze. Investigators found an empty gas can at Jones’ work station, which company officials said didn’t belong to the business.
Birgfeld’s body was discovered in 2012, partially buried in a dry creek wash in Delta County’s Wells Gulch. Jones, a former client of Birgfeld’s who was identified as a suspect early in the investigation, was arrested in November 2014 and is currently standing trial for charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and kidnapping.
Heald first appeared on law enforcement’s radar July 2, 2007, according to testimony presented Thursday — the day after Birgfeld’s car was found on fire. Heald said he had eaten lunch with Birgfeld two days before her disappearance, and when he found out she was missing, he called to tell investigators that she had mentioned that her ex-husband was coming into Grand Junction. Heald admitted Thursday that he purposefully failed to mention that he had a long history of paying for sex with Birgfeld, and that in the last year he had siphoned off about $17,000 of money from Blue Star Industries, where he worked, to pay for their trysts.
In an early, in-person conversation with investigators after the initial phone call, Heald initially claimed his only relationship with Birgfeld was buying Pampered Chef products for his company to use as customer incentives. Later, he conceded the two had a sexual relationship, but also said Birgfeld was blackmailing him. Heald told law enforcement that Birgfeld had claimed she had taken pictures of them having sex in 2005, and if he didn’t pay her $50,000, she’d show the pictures to Heald’s wife, according to earlier reports.
Heald said Thursday in court that the blackmail story was entirely fabricated.
He claimed he was afraid at first that if law enforcement knew he was paying Birgfeld for sex, his company would find out about the theft; later, when his boss found out about the theft, he was afraid his wife would find out about his relationship with Birgfeld.
“I have a history of being deceitful,” Heald said.
Heald told State Deputy Public Defender Kara Smith Thursday that he was “infatuated” with Birgfeld.
“So you were cheating on your wife with Ms. Birgfeld. … And then stealing from your boss to pay (for it),” Smith said to Heald. “Was it a bit of an adrenaline rush for you to sort of live on the edge like this?”
“Absolutely,” Heald said.
However, Heald said, he had nothing to do with Birgfeld’s death.
Smith pressed Heald about whether he said he was relieved when Birgfeld disappeared.
“I made a comment to the investigator that I felt financial relief. I have absolutely no relief that she is missing,” Heald said. “People who keep secrets don’t want those secrets exposed. ... I’m horrified by what happened to her, but my relief was that the financial responsibility was ended.”
Heald’s then-wife, Bonnie Thompson, told police that Heald was with her both the night that Birgfeld disappeared and the night her car was found on fire. Thompson was interviewed in Delta at the same time as when her then-husband was being interviewed in Grand Junction. Investigators also told Thompson the same day about Heald’s relationship with Birgfeld, according to Thompson, who testified Thursday that she has now forgiven Heald and they are a couple again.
Mesa County sheriff’s investigator Jim Hebenstreit, who headed the investigation for several years, said he thought Thompson’s confirmation of Heald’s alibi was very credible, given that she had just learned her husband had been cheating with a prostitute, which would have been a perfect time to “throw him under the bus.”
“I think that made her alibi that much more credible,” Hebenstreit said.
Hebenstreit said investigators re-questioned Thompson later, after she had divorced Heald, and her story never changed. | http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/witness-birgfeld-blackmail-story-was-a-lie | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.gjsentinel.com/8cd620cb1832228a786453988e84fdf59fdfa6227ce097180074952e1af374ea.json |

All the knowledge that matters
A Nobel Prize-winning economist named Daniel Kahneman has spent years studying the psychology of decision-making. He published a summary of his research called “Thinking, Fast and Slow” about five years ago, in which he demonstrated that people simplify their thought process by applying various biases. In other words, our biases help us make judgments. My first reaction was that most of us already knew that, even without a Nobel Prize.
I ran across the reference in an interesting place, though — the Independent Institute’s book, “Nature Unbound: Bureaucracy vs. the Environment.” It is a fascinating analysis of how often today’s bureaucratic procedures for environmental enforcement are actually bad for the environment. Too often, the incentives are all wrong, based on a punitive approach that often discourages helpful land management practices, and costs fortunes that could have been spent improving the environment.
The use of Kahneman’s research in this context is fascinating. You see, Kahneman identified a number of specific biases that inform the human decision-making process. One of the most common and powerful is the “cognitive bias toward the present.” That helps explain why so many people resist change. But it also explains something very important in understanding bureaucracies. It is described as a process in which the mind “discounts the unavailability of information.” Meaning people tend to ignore the fact that they do not have all the facts. Kahneman writes so extensively about that particular problem that he gave it an acronym: WYSIATI, which stands for “what you see is all there is.” If I don’t know any other information, I will pretend there isn’t any.
As the theory goes, our environmental enforcement systems are almost all centralized, mostly in the national government in Washington — even though most understanding of the natural environment is decentralized among a diverse population scattered throughout the country. People who live, play, work, and raise families in particular areas inherently know their areas and understand their local environments better than distant officials in Washington. But those officials are almost incapable of considering the vast array of knowledge they do not have. Many of them even grow to distrust locals, and to believe local people would destroy their own environment is given half a chance. We have been frustrated and offended by that bias for years, but it turns out that it may come not from any evil intentions, but simple human nature.
In creating this Washington-centered approach to almost everything, Congress has always assumed decisions should be based on the best possible information, so the smartest people should be hired to run things. That sounds right at first, but it assumes the smartest people can actually be found and hired. The problem is that many federal agencies are so large, and their jurisdictions so broad, that there is no person smart enough to know everything that must be known to run them.
The Interior Department, for example, has 70,000 employees in charge of everything from parks and wildlife to oil, gas, mining, geology, the global climate, weather, electric power generation, hydrology, real estate management, wildfire, and Native American history. That just barely scratches the surface. Since nobody is smart enough to know all that, it goes without saying that managers delegate decisions to people far down the ladder, and assume those lesser officials know what they are doing. In other words, no one can ever really be in charge. Should we realistically expect otherwise?
What is most frustrating about this centralized approach to environmental decision-making is that it creates conflict. Almost all environmental issues — clean air, clean water, endangered species, forest management, public lands, climate change – have become contentious and divisive, unnecessarily. A new way to deal with these issues might involve decentralizing much of the decision-making, delegating significant authority to state and local governments, private landowners, and others with specific knowledge of their areas. That does not mean the national government should stop caring about these issues, or sell off the public lands, or repeal the Clean Water Act. It just means we need to build a level of trust that respects another simple truth about human nature: No one cares more about my own back yard than I do.
That ought to seem obvious to national leaders, who could easily restructure many of the programs we rely on to protect the environment. Instead, we continue to place our faith in central planners with a WYSIATI attitude. Maybe politicians are naturally resistant to change, too, even when they know it is badly needed.

Vote to uphold Healthy Beverage Policy
As a pediatric dentist at the Marillac Clinic, I see what tooth decay is doing to many of our community’s children, especially kids from low-income families. Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease and diet is a major contributor.
That’s why I feel compelled to speak up about an important matter before the Colorado State Board of Education.On Sept. 14, the Board of Education has an opportunity to protect Colorado children from the negative influence of the sugary drink industry, whose products are so harmful to children’s oral and overall health. Voting “no” to replacing our state’s strong Healthy Beverage Policy with the weaker federal standards that would allow more juice in middle school and diet sodas back in our high schools (after being taken out in 2009) will send a strong message that kids’ health and wellness is a Colorado priority.
Soda, diet or otherwise, has no place in a healthy beverage policy. Diet soda contains acidic carbonation that erodes teeth, and any soda option may deter students from making healthier choices like water or milk. Reintroducing soda isn’t the only concern. Increasing the amount of juice that middle school students receive is also a bad idea. Sugar in juice decays kids’ teeth and offers little nutritional value — I see this daily in my practice. Whole fruit is far healthier for children’s teeth and bodies.
To the State Board of Education and our elected 3rd District member, Joyce Rankin: Please vote to uphold our state’s Healthy Beverage Policy and keep the bar higher in Colorado. With childhood obesity and tooth decay epidemics afflicting so many children in our community, this is not the time for weaker standards.

EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules not a solution
Pete Dronker’s column “Mines must bear cleanup costs” politicizes the Gold King spill, by using this event as a platform for increasing the burden of government regulation on the modern mining industry through EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules. Whether the mine is located on federal or private lands, mining companies today must post bonds or other financial assurance to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to fully reclaim and restore the site in the event that the operator does not complete such work.
EPA’s proposed financial assurance rules would only duplicate state and federal rules already on the books and would do nothing to remedy the situation at Gold King, a mine that operated in the late 19th century prior to the era of modern mining regulation. The solution lies not in giving more power to the government, but to allowing mining companies and other non-governmental groups to participate in Good Samaritan clean up and remediation efforts at these legacy sites.

Protecting sage-grouse from extinction is the main objective
In the article published Saturday titled “Gunnison grouse plan comes up short, groups say,” David Ludlam, director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association, questioned the motives of conservation groups, stating that he thinks many groups aren’t necessarily interested in protecting the species, and that “It’s more about stopping development.” He couldn’t be more wrong.
For me, and the conservation group I work for, it’s all about protecting Gunnison sage-grouse from extinction. The first time I watched the grouse do their remarkable mating dance at dawn, I was so fascinated that I barely noticed the cold and discomfort of sitting still for hours. The finicky female birds didn’t appear to be all that impressed by the males’ elaborate dances that morning, but I was. It was an unforgettable experience to watch the grouse dance while elk grazed nearby and a chorus of songbirds greeted the rising sun. I was inspired to work hard to help save this species.
I am far from alone in my interest in saving Gunnison sage-grouse. Coloradans from all walks of life are pitching in to help conserve the grouse. Volunteers have stepped up to restore habitat. Ranchers and landowners have put conservation easements in place to protect habitat on private property. More than 1,000 people have written letters and postcards asking public land managers protect critically important habitat in the San Miguel Basin and Dove Creek areas. Collaborative groups of individuals, representatives of conservation and industry organizations, and governmental agencies are actively working on solutions that protect grouse habitat while meeting the needs of public land users.
Our efforts aren’t about “stopping development.” They are about taking pride in Colorado’s unique bird, and working together to make sure that future generations have a chance to watch in wonder as Gunnison sage-grouse dance at sunrise.

It started off with me browsing the internet, where I found a website called Casinozx.com. They had a really interesting article about roulette, and although I hadn’t really been interested in online gambling before this, the website had all these free casino bonuses collected in to one place, so I decided to give it a try to see if I would enjoy it. I registered at a casino that offered free spins to all new customers, which basically meant that I got a certain amount of free spins, without having to make a deposit. These freespins was on a slot machine called Jack Hammer – A game that I immediately become almost obsessed with. After I got tired of the game, after a few weeks, I started playing on other slot machines, and I really liked them because they were very entertaining, but you also didn’t have to know any particular strategies or anything like that.
However, a few months after I discovered online casino gaming, I started to think that it was about time to try out a few other games rather than just staying in the slot section all the time. So I thought to myself: What is the most classic casino game? And of course, the game was Blackjack. At first I really didn’t know much of the game, apart from the fact that it was a card game that was played against the casino dealer. So, I started browsing the internet again, and I found a website called Eurogambler. At that website, I found a really helpful guide for Blackjack, where they teach you the basic strategy that you can use to massively increase your odds in the game. Eurogambler also offers quite a lot of reviews over various casino websites that are licensed and regulated, so if you are new to casino gaming, this is definitely a good place to start off at.
So, how does blackjack work then? I won’t go into massive detail here, but there are a few key things that the game is built upon. The object of the game is to get a hand that is as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21. You play against the dealer, so the key is to get a hand of better value than the dealer’s hand. It starts off by the dealer giving you two open cards. Depending on the value of the hand, you can then choose to either get a new card, to get an even stronger hand, or to stay, meaning that you are happy with the cards you have been dealt. After you have stayed on your hand, the dealer will then deal himself new cards in an attempt to beat you hand. The dealer has to stop if he reaches 17, and he will bust if he goes over 21.
The main thing about Blackjack, when I compared to the slot machines I used to be so in fond of, is that Blackjack requires more attention. When you play slot machines, all you do is basically to put money in the machine and press the spin button, there’s really no strategy involved. When you play blackjack however, your attention is required as you really have to think about which move is the best. When you master the game of blackjack, you’ll find out that it’s one of the games that offers the highest payout percentages in the casino world.
Lastly, I would like to suggest to you that you visit a website called http://www.casinoonline.re/se if you would like to learn more about casino gaming. Casinoonline.re is one of Europe’s leading gambling portals, and if you are looking to get better at casino gaming, it’s the place to go! | http://www.expressodasnove.pt/give-blackjack-a-try/ | en | 2014-08-01T00:00:00 | www.expressodasnove.pt/9d60030e756f76fa968894cd90beb935b96b8ec36452018240f995ecc07508a4.json |

You already know that all the casinos games are built to give the casino an “edge”, meaning that whenever you play a game, there’s always a slightly higher chance that the casino will win in the end over you. This edge is not always that big, but in the long run, this is how the casino makes their money. If the casino has an edge of 5%, that won’t necessary mean that they will win every session against every player – But with thousands of players, this edge will make a difference and make the casino profitable in the long run. You can read more about how the house edge in different casino games at gaming portals on the internet.
So, if the casino always has an edge over the player, shouldn’t that make it impossible for me to win in the long run? If you play like the average casino player, then yes. However, if you play smart, there are several ways that you can make your casino adventure profitable. Let us start with the basics. Obviously, you want to pick the games that offers the highest payout percentages. One game in particular that you should focus on in particular is Blackjack, which if played with the proper strategy can have the house edge reduced to about half a percent, basically giving you a 50/50 percent chance to win over the casino. Blackjack is a game that is pretty simple to learn. It’s very important however, that you follow the strategies described – Use a blackjack chart if needed. If you just play on your “gut-feel” you will reduce your chances of winning remarkably.
In general, I would avoid certain games when playing at online casinos. One game that has a particularly high house edge is the bingo inspired game Keno. Here the house edge can be as much as 70%, meaning that it is extremely unlikely that you will make a profit, even if you get lucky. Roulette has a fairly high house edge too, but this can be reduced by following certain betting patterns. Roulette can be a very entertaining game, so it might actually be worth playing even if the chances of winning is a little bit higher.
As a general rule, slot machines have pretty low payout percentage, meaning that you shouldn’t really play them. However, slot machines are very popular as they are very entertaining. If you do want to play slot machines – Make sure you play at the ones that offer a progressive jackpots. Although these jackpots are nearly impossible to win, it makes a big difference. If you happen to get lucky, you can become a millionaire overnight!
The most important thing to remember, however, when it comes to making casino gaming profitable, is to take advantages of all the casino bonuses out there. The casino bonuses are the one thing that can give you an upper hand against the casinos themselves. Keep an eye out for deposit bonuses and freespins when you are choosing your casino. | http://www.expressodasnove.pt/outsmarting-the-casinos/ | en | 2014-02-18T00:00:00 | www.expressodasnove.pt/fc4ce387873f5f4990245d0f5c8c43b16feab5c9f72925723ca143826b3dfbc0.json |
