Laugher finished seventh in the 3m springboard preliminaries as three of Yorkshire's four representatives reached Tuesday's semi-finals.
China's Cao Yuan topped the leaderboard on 498.70 points at a wind-swept Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, which caused problems for several leading competitors.
Laugher, who won 3m synchronised gold alongside Chris Mears last Wednesday, put a tentative start and a poor fifth dive behind him to advance.
The 21-year-old, from Ripon, totalled 439.95, scoring his highest mark of 88.40 in the third round.
Dingley switched nationalities to Ireland to improve his chances of reaching Rio and became the country's first diving representative at an Olympics for 58 years.

The Harrogate-born diver dropped his fifth dive for just 48.00 points but recovered in the final round to rise into 13th place with a total of 399.80.
City of Leeds diver Yona Knight-Wisdom, who competes for Jamaica, produced a solid display throughout and scored 416.55 for 11th.
However, the competition saw a number of shock exits as wind caused havoc with divers' take-offs.
Laugher's British teammate Freddie Woodward just missed out on a top 18 place as he placed 19th with a score of 388.15 across his six dives.

Set 367 from a minimum of 71 overs, Yorkshire were 188-0 from 52 overs when hands were shaken on a hard-fought draw.

Yorkshire had needed 219 from 30 overs at tea, after which they scored 40 in 11 overs as they decided that the target was just too steep.
Alex Lees finished on 114 and Adam Lyth 63, the draw moving Yorkshire up from third to second in the table, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.
“We certainly didn’t rule it out (going for the win), but all the feedback we were getting back from the guys in the middle, who were in the best position to gauge, was that it was going to be a really tough ask to chase that total down,” said first team coach Gillespie.
“We were communicating back and forth quite regularly throughout the innings, and they felt that while they were in it was ok, but it was going to be really tough for a new batter to start, and that it was probably going to be a bridge too far.
“They felt that it was going to be tough even if they were in, let alone for the lads coming in subsequently. They were the guys who were in the hot-seat out there, and they felt that there was a lot of uneven bounce and that balls were spitting out of the rough.”
Gillespie said that if Yorkshire had needed “150 with 20 (overs) to go”, instead of 180, they “may well have had a dart”.
He added that “we’re a positive side” who always “want to go for it”.
However, Giles, the Lancashire coach and former England left-arm spinner, thought Yorkshire might have taken more of a punt with wickets in hand.
He admitted that the home side had been fearful watching from the sidelines.
“We were a little bit nervous on the balcony,” said Giles.
“To get to a position when they were none down, I perhaps thought they might have just gone a bit longer.
“But that’s their decision, nothing to do with us, and we’re happy to come out of it with the way we’ve played cricket and a strong draw against a very good team.”
Gillespie felt Yorkshire had actually proved a point to their hosts.
After Lancashire thrashed 162 in 23 overs at the start of day four to set up the match, with 19-year-old Haseeb Hameed becoming the first Lancastrian to score two hundreds in a Roses game, Gillespie said that Yorkshire had done well to repel the home team.
“We’ve made a bit of a statement to Lancashire,” he said.
“They probably played as good cricket as they’ve played all year, and they couldn’t get a wicket going for a win on day four.
“They could not take one Yorkshire wicket.
“That’s a real statement from us, so we’re pleased in that sense.”
Gillespie said he would have “snapped your hand off” had he been offered Yorkshire’s current position at the start of the season.
However, he conceded that improvements must be made – not least to the bowling and body language, with Yorkshire having blown a good position in this match when they leaked 195 in 37.2 overs at the start of day two.
“That morning of day two wasn’t good enough,” said Gillespie.
“We need to adapt quicker to those situations and we need to be better.
“One thing that we identified was that we could have been a lot better with our body language out on the field on that second morning.
“The bowlers have to accept responsibility, but there are 11 lads out there and they need to have good energy levels, good hustle, and they admitted they probably could have been better with regard to that.”
It was a match played in a typically competitive spirit which occasionally seemed to cross the line.
Yorkshire were unhappy when video footage emerged yesterday of Liam Livingstone’s diving catch to dismiss Andrew Hodd on day three, which appeared to cast doubt as to its validity.
Gillespie declined to comment other than to say “it’s a matter for the CLO (cricket liaison officer) and the umpires”, but there was no love lost between the teams.
Hameed, who followed his first innings 114 with an unbeaten 100 before the declaration came half-an-hour before lunch, admitted that Lancashire had been determined not to be “bullied” by Yorkshire, which perhaps betokened an aggressive approach.
Hameed, who also became the youngest Lancashire player to score 1,000 runs in a Championship season, beating Mike Atherton by almost two years, played splendidly for his hundred, as did Lees.

Sharon Dale reports.
Sir Patrick Stewart bid a tearful farewell to his Yorkshire Dales bolt hole after it went under offer to a local man who has dreamed of owning it since he was a boy.
Scar Top House
The celebrated stage actor, who became an international film star playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series, bought Scar Top House 25 years ago at the height of his Hollywood fame.
He put the secluded home on the market for £535,000 with Dale Eddison last month and, after a flurry of viewings, he agreed to sell it to someone who has long admired the secluded, stone-built property in Hebden, near Grassington.
Estate agent Amanda May, manager of Dale Eddison's Skipton branch, said: “We had a lot of interest from all over the country but particularly from the north. A sale has been agreed with a local Dalesman who has wanted to own the house since he was a little boy. It’s a lovely story. Sir Patrick came to say farewell to the house and it was quite emotional.” She adds: “There was a fair bit of disappointment from people who didn’t end up being the buyer. We conducted well over 30 viewings and there were five people who wanted to buy it. “
The half mile track leading to the house was a turn-off for some would-be buyers but is one of the main reasons why Sir Patrick bought the four-bedroom property. He wanted an escape from the spotlight and came up with the idea of buying a country home in his native Yorkshire when driving down a fume-filled highway in Los Angeles.
The cosy inglenook fireplace
“I was pretty much resident in LA by then thanks to the filming but as I drove into the smog I was suddenly gripped by the thought of buying a house in the Yorkshire Dales. It was bizarre. I was fearful of losing myself to Hollywood in the way I’d seen other British stage actors do and I wanted a toehold in England, somewhere to come home to.”
The Mirfield-born actor found himself longing for the feelings of contentment he experienced as a teenager in the 1950s when he cycled out into the Dales on his push bike, leaving the mines and the mills of his home town far behind.
“The Dales captured my heart from a very young age,” said Sir Patrick.
His brother, who still lived in Yorkshire, lined up a series of homes for him to view, including Scar Top House. It offered everything he craved. Remote and surrounded by moorland, it gave him seclusion, sensational views and it was a world away from the Hollywood spotlight.
The country kitchen
“It was more remote than I envisaged but the views are amazing and it is very private, which has been helpful,” he said.
He invited his family in England to draw up a holiday rota so the house could be used when he wasn’t there. When he was, it was quite often alone. There were times when he would fly from LA to London before taking a plane to Leeds-Bradford airport and then a taxi to Hebden, just to spend a day at Scar Top. “It was madness but the draw of the house was so powerful. It was my bolthole, my retreat. I loved being in that landscape and I enjoyed hiking. I’d go for 20-mile hikes and not see another person. The local people were very respectful of my privacy too, especially the wonderful couple who had the Post Office. Visitors used to ask them where I lived and they’d say ‘he doesn’t live round here’.”
Back in America, where he has just filmed the third Wolverine movie and episodes of TV series Blunt Talk, his Dales home has helped him to sleep. He imagines himself walking up the track and is in the Land of Nod before he gets to the top.
After buying the property, he insulated the roof, furnished with oak furniture from nearby Grassington company Royal Oak and converted a barn into a garage. More recently, he has used the the house less, which is why he is selling it.
The dining area
He now divides his time between a home in the Cotswolds, close to stage work, and a property in Brooklyn, which he shares with his wife, singer-songwriter Sunny Ozell.
Sir Patrick still has close ties to Yorkshire and will not be a stranger to his home county. He still has family here, supports Huddersfield University, where he was Chancellor, and is a Huddersfield Town football club fan. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/sir-patrick-stewart-sells-his-dales-home-and-makes-a-dream-come-true-1-8085590 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/330f5cbab5686bb28d4e559d9d69284be2cfceebd58dd481f31127badb29b8f1.json |

Yorkshire's Olympic cycling superstar Ed Clancy hopes to equal Sir Bradley Wiggins' total of five gold medals.
The 31-year-old, Barnsley born and Huddersfield raised, is already the county's most decorated athlete in Olympic history after helping to defend the men's team pursuit title from Beijing and London, picking up his third gold in Rio.

After their win, in a video chat with Clancy at Team GB in the Olympic Village - watch it above - he told how he is now thinking four years ahead to what could be his own fairytale ending in Tokyo.
There he believes he could end up with two more Olympic golds.
That would put him level with Wiggins, aged 36, who ends his career as the most decorated British Olympic athlete with five golds, a silver and two bronzes to surpass fellow cyclist Sir Chris Hoy's tally of six golds and a silver..
Clancy, the only ever present member of the pursuit team to have won gold in the most recent three Olympics, said:: "I'm 31 now and I've got three golds. I'm going to do Tokyo, at least that's the plan.
Ed Clancy wins his third Olympic gold medal in Rio
"So who knows, I might pick up another one; two if I'm really lucky.
"In reality it's going to be very, very hard to match Sir Brad, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. He's a brilliant guy. He's been a real addition to this team. Brad's retired now but I'm grateful I've gone through two Olympics with him."
He paid tribute to National Lottery funding, distributed by UK Sport, which has given the financial support to take him and Team GB up the medals league table.
Clancy said: "My whole career started with them really. I was brought in through the talent team - British Cycling it was called back in the day and it's called Go Ride now.
Five gold medals for retiring Team GB cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins.
"Keep buying Lottery tickets. It's not just me that benefits from this.Without the funding, the input we've had from the Lottery and the Government we wouldn't be here."
The Yorkshireman was the beating heart of Rio's four man pursuit team, also featuring Owain Doull and Steven Burke, which saw Wiggins retire after their dramatic world record victory over Australia,
In a stand-out moment of an amazing Games for Team GB they came from behind in the pursuit final to beat the Aussies by almost a second with barely 500m of the 4,000m contest to go.
They set a new world record in the heat and broke it once again in the final, with a time of 3:50.265, in Rio's Olympic Park.
Going for gold in Rio - the GB Men's Pursuit Team
But it was against all the odds.The team failed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and they didn't make the podium at last year’s world championships
Clancy was suffering from his own problems, slipping a disc in his back after a training session - simply picking his bag up in the changing room. Surgery followed, forcing him to miss the European championships.
He only turned it around in recent weeks, with reports from the team’s training base in Wales that they were going well after smashing the world record in a practice session. A nd he said it felt like the best gold yet.
"Yes, I'm over the moon," he said.
"It's been a difficult time between London Olympics and getting here in 2016, not just in terms of motivation but getting over injuries and what not.
"There is an old sayting, the tougher the fight the sweeter the victory and it's so true. I've never had to work so hard for this one.
"I had to get over a back surgery in December and scrape into the team in the World Championships, just to qualify your place. It's been a tough one but crossing that line ahead of the Aussies made it all so worthwhile.
"In a typical Team Pursuit the most efficient way to get from A to B is to set off hard, reach a cruising speed which you can only just hang on to, however the problem is if you ride like that in a final the other team can just set off like maniacs, get in your slip stream and then it's very hard to get rid of them.
"So both us and the Aussies were well over world record pace for the first two or three kilometers, way over it. There was no schedule really, We went flat out from the gun. I'm guessing they just pushed it a little bit too much, too soon.
"That's pursuiting. It's easy to go fast for the first three kilometers. You've got to cross the line after four kilometers.
"I guess we just paced it that little bit better than the Aussies and came better in the last two laps.
"It's like a house of cards, as soon as you take one guy out of the equation all comes crumbling down eventually. It might take one, two, three laps...but by the time that guy's got to do his turn again, they had nothing to give so it was good for us." | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/more-sport/rio-video-360-photo-yorkshire-s-ed-clancy-gears-up-to-equal-sir-bradley-wiggins-five-olympic-golds-1-8075097 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/363c0f833fd4236ae2123386617152ccdb6407596d5c6ea3f028f1c5d9e4a687.json |

The Holiday at Home scheme has been run in churches across the country, but this is the first time the Ripon and Lower Dales Methodist Circuit has staged an event.
“It is like going on holiday without having to pack a suitcase,” said the circuit’s lay pastoral worker for the elderly, Diane Gaskill, who organised the four-day event.
“It is to get people out of their daily routine.
“We had more and more guests each day as word got around. It has been a real success and a really packed week.
“Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed it. We have had laughter from start to finish. About 90 per cent of the people who came along live alone or in a care home, so it has given them companionship and an opportunity to chat.”
Over the four days, 97 people – the oldest 95 – attended the holiday events, which took the theme of Seaside Rock.
Three members of staff and 18 volunteers helped to run the events at Allhallowgate Methodist Church and, on the last day, The Moors care home in Ripon.
Volunteers or taxis picked up the guests to start each day with morning coffee followed by optional worship.
There was then a craft sessions, making souvenirs including coloured sand bottles, shell boxes, beach hut keyholders and suncatchers.
Holiday lunches followed, the most popular being fish and chips in paper followed by ice cream.
Afternoon entertainment included a film, a concert by the U3A Singers, a talk about the coast and a duo singing hits of the ’50s and ’60s.
Memory films from the Yorkshire Film Archives ran during breaks, showing scenes of the Yorkshire coast in the 1940s, 50s and 60s and prompting reminiscences from the guests, some of whom are living with dementia.
The Methodist circuit provided financial support and premises as well as co-ordinating the event and volunteers. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/scheme-lets-residents-have-holiday-at-home-1-8081807 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/7dbfaafc9ed3fc536e4c91662413d5233d12232815b706c6bfe4b0e33c65d8f8.json |

But as gamekeepers across the region mark the Glorious 12th and the start of the grouse season today, a new group set up to fight for the survival of shooting on the moors of North Yorkshire has urged people to recognise the multitude of benefits it brings.
Gun dog handler Fiona Kirk with her English Setter, Zeus and Anthony Dowson 28, Moorland Beat Keeper for the Thimbleby estate, stalking game on the moor.
The North Yorkshire Moors Moorland Organisation (NYMMO) brings together keepers from 12 North Yorkshire estates, including Danby, Rosedale and Westerdale, Sleights and Goathland and Thimbleby, who felt their livelihoods - and way of life - were being threatened, both by misinformation and the possibility of a ban in future.
They are now working to promote the benefits that managed moorlands bring, not only to the moors and wildlife, but also to communities and the rural economy that is helped by the shooting parties. It is a picture replicated across the country, from Scotland to the Peak District.
NYMMO coordinator Tina Brough said: “There seems to be more and more bad publicity about shooting, and following the hunting ban, people were thinking ‘will we be next?’. We want to promote the good side of moorland management before it gets to that point.”
Shooting, and preparing for a shoot, is just a small proportion of a keeper’s role. Trapping predators such as stoats and foxes allows ground nesting birds such are the red-status lapwing, curlew and merlin, to thrive, and the NYMMO plans to survey wildlife on the moors in an attempt to show that once-threatened species are benefitting from moorland management.

“People have the misconception that we kill everything just to keep grouse but that’s not true,” Miss Brough said. “If game keepers weren’t there the moors would not be sustainable.”
At Thimbleby Estate, near Northallerton, heather burning is key to moorland management.
In May, 200 acres of heather moorland in the Peak District were destroyed after an accidental fire spread. Moorland management, which includes creating firebreaks, was not in use.
Thimbleby head keeper David Dickinson said: “If we didn’t burn, a summer fire would run for miles and miles. It would be a disaster. People seem to think moorland management is all about wealthy people shooting, but it’s so much more than that.
Grouse on moorland.
“It’s about creating a healthy moor that can be the best it can be - and also an environment where a wide range of people can get enjoyment from it. On shoot days we have ladies beating, students helping us when they’re off college - it’s a big part of the community.”
Meanwhile, a row between Sir Ian Botham and Chris Packham over whether grouse shooting should be banned saw the former England cricketer label the BBC wildlife presenter an “extremist”.
More than 80,000 people have signed a petition calling for shooting to be outlawed.
Sir Ian, wholives in North Yorkshire, is a supporter of the shoot while Mr Packham has backed the petition, and the pair engaged in an angry clash over the issue on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
Mr Packham said the shoots damage bird of prey populations while Sir Ian suggested the presenter should not be allowed to publicly take sides because of his status as a BBC employee.
At the same time, a report by government conservation agency Natural England has concluded that England’s uplands could support more than 200 breeding pairs of hen harriers, but the bird of prey’s numbers are being kept down by illegal persecution.
The RSPB recently pulled out of the Government’s hen harrier action plan because it felt the plan was not delivering the “urgent action and change in behaviour” needed to bring the bird of prey back from the brink of extinction in England.
The wildlife charity also raised concerns about the “environmental damage” caused by practices it says are used by grouse moor managers, such as draining and burning habitat and killing mountain hares to reduce disease in grouse.
It has called for the licensing of the industry, which it argues would drive up standards and ensure grouse moors complied with the law or risk losing their right to hold shoots.
The renewed debate comes as early hopes for a relatively good grouse shooting season, with better chick survival than the “calamitous conditions” last year, were undermined by adverse late weather during the nesting period.
The Moorland Association, whose members own and manage 860,000 acres of heather moorland in England and Wales for red grouse, said there could be pockets of poor grouse numbers on some moors and shoot days being cancelled.
But chairman Robert Benson said that there were still “positive outcomes” on land managed for grouse shooting, with 18,000 acres of peatland habitat restored across northern England. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/glorious-twelfth-ian-botham-chris-packham-and-the-fight-for-north-yorkshire-s-moors-1-8063638 | en | 2016-08-12T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/923773497f415296bb0869bc01228e3b244cb62b669ebf029707986d51f88ec4.json |

“Jimi Hendrix was in Harrogate once.” Well, Chris Salewicz should know.
This renowned former NME writer from the golden age of music journalism is the author of 17 books and numbers Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the late Joe Strummer among his close, personal friends.
I’d invited him up from London to take part in a talk at RedHouse Originals Gallery in Harrogate in a small-ish, independently-organised bash I was involved with on Saturday.
Called Spirit of 66, the exhibition/talk/gig was so busy people were spilling out of the doors of RedHouse Originals onto the pavement on Cheltenham Mount.
It was so bad, in fact, the rest of the ‘cast’ - artist Dudley Edwards, beatnik poet Heath Common, a string quartet from Harrogate Symphony Orchestra and RedHouse co-owner Richard McTague himself - could scarcely be squeezed in.
Later on, we shifted location to one of the town’s most distinguished venues, the fabulously grand and Victorian The Club on Victoria Avenue where the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Coyle once played snooker.
We’d booked a semi-psychedelic new rock band called The Chessmen. It has to be said they were loud as well as brilliant but it turned out to be a great night.
As for the Hendrix story, it emerged that Hendrix had travelled from Ilkley one night in 1966 during a brief break from touring to watch John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers playing in Harrogate.
When people think of the town they tend to think of tradition but the success of Saturday’s happenings showed that’s not entirely true.
Harrogate is big enough to have many sides.
Afterall, on the same weekend as this year’s Harrogate International Festival came to an impressive finale with a performance of Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, here was a very different event where the talk was of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Pop Art and psychedelia.
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu.
Saint Michael’s Church in Markington was packed to its leaky rafters on Sunday.
This was no ordinary service. It was part of William Willberforce Day, a celebration of this quiet village’s close connections to the man whose determination was instrumental in ending the slave trade.
Standing alongside the parish’s own vicar Paul was a new face in the church - the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu.
No wonder there was more pomp and pageantry on show than normal in the lovely morning light of this beautiful 19th church set on a leafy lane on a country road near Ripon.
It soon became obvious that the power of Dr Sentamu’s quietly commanding presence was more than enough in itself.
After a witty reminder to the congregation of the importance of Saint Michael’s appeal to raise enough money to plug the holes in its roof, the archbishop got to the nub of his sermon.
I’m not a strongly religious man but it was easy to see why Dr Sentamu is who he is.
Nothing he said was forced. He never laboured a point or got bogged down in detail.
He let the words speak for themselves. And the spirit. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/psychedelia-comes-to-harrogate-dr-sentamu-raises-the-roof-1-8053647 | en | 2016-08-05T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/8a708d7039908c3989cdc9b5c8a9612001357c79e5dd3b0657725d3bafdbd5e3.json |

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.ripongazette.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.ripongazette.co.uk/4286ccbdc7d91c317f3ae19f5d7031b27015e055a844f0e07bd54ffb25ee00d7.json |

Boasting a fresh design and a fresh menu, this new eaterie in the new leisure/dining out complex of 5 Albert Street is reportedly only the third ASK Italian restaurants in its entire national chain to receive substantial investment and a new, modern approach.
At a packed and buzzing private preview night it certainly seemed massively better than the last time I dined out in an ASK.
Then, sitting where it is facing three other Italian restaurants across the road on Albert Street in what is rapidly becoming Harrogate’s own ‘Little Italy’ that’s probably for the best.
As a brand, the new ASK features a mix of classic Italian materials alongside the colour and texture of the Mediterranean.
The Harrogate restaurant’s warm natural furniture, striking tiling trailing plants and huge windows create a light, al fresco feeling even indoors.
It’s certainly a nicer and more relaxed place to eat and drink than any ASK Italian I ever visited a decade or so ago in the days when an element of chintz was the order of the day.
That, of course, was before Jamie’s trendy, urban rustic revolution.
The menu, too, is ‘on trend’, recalibrated by ASK’s expert friends, including celebrated chef Theo Randall, award-winning Italian food writer Carla Capalbo and master of wine Adrian Garforth.
Along with all the Italian favourites you’d expect, there are enough surprises to pep up the choice.
Tasty antipasti boards, regional specialities of meat and fish, Italian-inspired cocktails, it’s hard to find a bad thing to say about the place.
Can the new ASK Italian in Harrogate keep up this quality and standard after the initial excitement and effort of the first few months had died down a little?
Who knows?
One thing is certain, however, on this evidence ASK has finally and firmly joined the 21st century and that’s worth drinking - or dining out to.

It looked as if Town’s Horsfall Stadium hoodoo would continue as a two goal first half lead was surrendered in the second half.
Luke Shiels and JP Pittman struck within four first half minutes of each other, both from Joe Leesley assists to put the visitors in a commanding position.
It could have been game over on the stroke of half time as Simon Weaver’s men were awarded a spot kick, only for Dan Eccles to keep out Chib Chilaka’s effort.
Alex Meechan’s men looked a different side after the restart, and were given hope of a comeback when Luke Dean found the net from the edge of the area 12 minutes into the half.
Dean then produced an even better finish in the 66th minute that looked to have earnt the hosts a point only for Burrell to produce a moment of magic in the final stages and send Town home with three points.

Weaver made one change from Tuesday night’s win at Gainsborough Trinity with Tom Platt replacing the suspended Lloyd Kerry, while Summer signing Wayne Brooksby was a late addition to the bench.
Despite a positive start from the hosts, Town created the first opening after eight minutes as Joe Leesley struck Lewis Turner’s cross first time into the hands of Dan Eccles.
Luke Shiels then found the net for the third time this season to give Town a 13 minute lead after Leesley had played a clever one-two with Chib Chilaka on the edge of the box before floating onto the head of the centre half.
Three minutes later and Town doubled their lead with Leesley turning provider yet again, picking up possession in midfield and playing through Pittman who struck low across goal to match the tally of his teammate Shiels.

Leesley produced another fine delivery after half an hour that Simon Ainge threw himself at to head home, though Town were denied a third as Ainge looked up to see the linesman’s flag raised for offside.
With ten minutes left of the half, Pittman went close to netting a second after Ben Parker’s clearance had blown towards the striker, only for the headed lob attempt to end up over the bar.
BPA created an opening of their own towards the end of the half, but Chris Sharp’s improvised finish was blocked, just moments before Chilaka struck a thunderous effort wide of the far post following Pittman’s flick.
In the final minute of the half Jack Emmett’s right wing cross was met by Leesley, only for the winger to be taken out by Eccles prompting referee Paul Newhouse to point to the spot.
Chilaka stepped up to take the kick and took aim for the bottom right corner, but was denied a goal on his return to Horsfall Stadium by Eccles’ impressive save.
Much like the first 45, Meechan’s men started well, but struggled to test Peter Crook in the Town goal despite a couple of early testing crosses.
12 minutes after the break the home side found the goal their start to the half had deserved after a ball into the box was cleared to the edge of the area only for Dean to despatch first time into the bottom left corner.
Bradford continued their early momentum and levelled the tie on 66 minutes when Dean produced another fine finish to cushion a pull back from the left wing into the top right corner with Crook beaten all ends up.
With the scores now level the next opportunity fell to the hosts’ Liam Dickinson, though the striker couldn’t keep his header from McKenna’s corner down.
Dickinson again tested Crook in the 86th minute, but it was two minutes later when Town midfielder Burrell produced a moment of magic to seal the three points.
The number four attacked the Bradford penalty area from the left before curling into the top left corner to win a well contested Yorkshire derby.

Aimee Bellwood was called by worried members at Shamrock Veterinary Clinic, on Tuesday, July 26, after her cat had been missing for more than three days.
Marge with owner Aimee
When she arrived at the vets, she was given the devastating news that her three-year-old cat Marge needed life-saving surgery after being shot with a pellet gun.
Marge had suffered a punctured lung in the sickening attack and further X-Rays confirmed that she had also sustained a shattered pelvis and a broken leg.
Police confirmed to Aimee that there had been an increase of similar attacks on cats around the Stray and she warned other pet-owners to stay vigilant.
She said: "When I got to the vets, I found out that somebody had found Marge in their garden on Monday morning but thought she was just sleeping.
"When Marge was still there when he got back from work he decided to take her to the vets, that's when they found out she had been attacked.
"I felt sick when I first saw Marge at the vets. I couldn't tell what her injuries were at first but then she just lifted her head up and put it on my hand.
"There are two theories around what happened to her. The vets think she was either shot with a pellet gun and ran into a car when she was dazed.
"But the injuries were on her left side, so the vets also think that after she was shot she could have been kicked."
Marge is now three weeks into her six-week rehabilitation but vets have yet to confirm if she will be left with any long-term injuries following the attack.
Aimee said: "When the vet started to explain the treatment that she went through, they were shocked that she had even survived.
"You just don't expect this kind of thing to happen in Harrogate at all because everyone is so friendly. It's been an absolutely awful experience.
"People have been so supportive and kind with their well wishes but also angry that this could have happened.
"To think someone could harm a defenseless animal. She is the sweetest cat and I just feel sick at the thought of someone harming her." | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/crime/pet-owners-beware-warning-after-cat-shot-with-pellet-in-brutal-harrogate-attack-1-8084301 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/7aca04aafbeb537b241a3bc748398d5a91f52976b16c4ca0900f27a7adae8899.json |

Agility is required but it is worth the effort.
The former footbridge.
The Route:
Park in Timble and follow the No Through road behind the Timble Oak, soon the tarmac becomes dirt and eventually into fields.
Over a cattle grid the path forks and there are no way-markers here, take the right hand fork and follow the path towards the farm.
Just before the farm buildings take the metal gate, go through two more gates and turn right onto a poetic ancient road well hung with alder, blackthorn and with may blossom creating confetti below the improbably leaning dry stone walls.
A pretty start.
Follow this path into a field and down the hill.
You pass magnificent examples of mature sycamore, ash and oak.
When you reach the river turn right, this is the river Washburn, follow the well-marked path over a little bridge into a field, cross the little ditch and follow the footpath keeping the river to your left.
Soon the path goes through some woodland, there is another stream with stepping stones, cross this and turn right and follow the path through a metal gate up the muddy track, across another rivulet, through another metal gate to skirt the edge of a hay meadow.
Soon you reach Dobpark Bridge on the left, but our path goes right, up the broad track.
Follow this up the hill until you meet the surfaced road, turn right into the driveway of Dob Park House Farm.
Before you reach the farm, in the wall behind the conifer hedge on the left is a metal stile, the path goes round behind the farmhouse, there is a positively vertiginous stile here where the land is muchhigher on the far side.
Back on the grass lane after the farm, you can see in the distance the Menwith Hill tracking station.
Soon you will see on the right, on the edge of the trees, remains of Dobpark Lodge, a 17th Century hunting lodge and scheduled Ancient Monument , and Swinsty reservoir behind it.
When the green lane comes to an end cross the huge field, the stile is to the right of the wind turbine, at the end of the trees.
Cross over another stile, turn right down the hill, over the road to a way-marker between a house and a barn.
Follow the track and, at the pair of almost adjacent field gates, take the right hand one, along and over the waymarked stile, through a field of sheep to another way marker and a nicely constructed stone stile.
Cross this and head left diagonally across the hay field, towards a barn.
At the far side of the field cross three stiles and after the third, on the other side of the farm track, the path leads diagonally right across a field to the corner of the stone wall, continue with the dry stone wall on your left into Washburn Farm.
Go through the farmyard, left and onto the farm track, immediately double back to the right into the adjacent farmyard.
Turn sharp left between a range of stores on your left and a barn on your right, along the track with way marked post and bear left, over a stile and along the edge of the field into the valley.
Through a new gate on the far side of the field join a track, keep left through the gate with the way-marker, cross the footbridge.
Head up to the right away from the bog, when you reach the bottom of the hill skirt it on the little terrace and when you reach a dry stone wall, go through it and turn sharp right keep the wall on your right and at the far side of the field the path drops steely down to a dilapidated stile and eventually down to a stream with only the nib ends of a footbridge remaining but a stony bottom provides a route for the intrepid.
On the other side of the little river is another stile and a way-marker pointing diagonally left across the field in front of you.
Follow this to a gate to the left of a huge ash tree beside this gate is an old milk stand, a broad platform on which milk churns would be left for collection.
Through the gate follow the field edge, with the wall on your left through another gate, look ahead and you will see the way onto the next track.
Over the next wall turn right into a very narrow old walled lane and in a few yards turn left onto the lane you set off on and back to Timble.
Now you have a choice – afternoon tea at The Timble Inn or an ice cream at Swinsty! | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/lifestyle/agility-needed-but-strenuous-effort-is-worth-it-1-7997656 | en | 2016-07-09T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/2b98f32a0efad6ee224089f8c4edc1fc9cc13103a3b63c2815767ef9951b71b7.json |

Alan Keillar, 52, hid the cash tin and recording device in the victim’s shed after disconnecting the CCTV camera in an attempt to dodge the blame for the thefts at the property on Albany Road, Harrogate.
Keillar returned to the property a week later and left with the cash and CCTV system, York Crown Court heard.
Prosecuting barrister Heather Gilmore said Keillar had been entrusted to look after his neighbour’s house and decorate the property while the owner was away.
She added that such was the victim’s trust in Keillar he even told him he had money in the house.
When the neighbour returned to find his cash and home security equipment missing, he confronted Keillar who made vehement denials.
When police arrested him on suspicion of burglary and theft, he continued to plead his innocence.
He was bailed, but just over two months later he burgled another home in Harrogate by smashing a door panel and climbing through it, before stealing household items including a mobile phone.
“Neighbours saw him smashing his way in and one of them shouted at him, but he ignored her and carried on,” said Ms Gilmore.
Keillar was arrested again and charged with burgling the property in early May. Later that month a judge gave him a 14-month jail term for that offence and six months concurrent for separate offences of harassment and criminal damage.
Keillar, of Albany Road, was later charged with the first burglary at his neighbour’s house and eventually owned up. He appeared for sentence on Friday via video link from Hull Prison, where he is serving time for the burglary in May.
He pleaded guilty to burglary and theft at his neighbour’s house on February 25.
Defence barrister Andrew Stranex claimed Keillar had stolen to pay off debts and intended to repay his neighbour.
The court heard that his 34 previous convictions for 82 offences include fraud, numerous thefts and a house burglary in 2009.
Recorder Simon Jackson QC said Keillar had used “planning and cunning” by disconnecting the CCTV at his neighbour’s home so there was no closed-circuit footage of him taking the money.
Mr Jackson said the thefts represented a “serious breach of trust” and sentenced Keillar to two years in prison, which will run concurrently with his existing sentence.

JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.

It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.
IT'S OURS: Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale and coach Jason Gillespie celebrate with the County Championship trophy at Trent Bridge back in 2014. Pictures: SWpix.
Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/chris-waters-time-is-right-for-jason-gillespie-to-bid-farewell-to-yorkshire-ccc-1-8094958 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/bd5d38f9aa14c54ac544cb68909c5c04b0f6e73acdc1c0e7555654b6db4c84fa.json |

Yorkshire have been there only once, but this will be Willey’s fourth appearance, having made it three times with previous club Northants.
In 2009, Willey was part of the side that lost by seven wickets to Sussex in the semi-final.

He was just 19 years old and had an unremarkable match; he did not bat as Northants totalled 136-6, and then he bowled two wicketless overs for 16 runs.
In 2013, Willey had the antithesis of an unremarkable match when Northants beat Surrey by 102 runs in the final.
He opened the batting and scored 60 from 27 balls with six fours and four sixes, and then he took 4-9 from 2.3 overs, finishing the match with a hat-trick when he dismissed Zafar Ansari, Jon Lewis and Chris Tremlett.
Willey was on the losing side last year when Lancashire beat Northants in the final by 13 runs.
He took 2-21 from four overs as Lancs scored 166-7, and then he hit 24 from 21 balls as Northants replied with 153-6.
As no other Yorkshire player has been to Finals Day more than once, his experience will be invaluable as Yorkshire seek to win the competition for the first time.
“I guess so,” said Willey, who left Wantage Road for Headingley during the close season.
“My primary role with regards to the move to Yorkshire was to try and help improve the club’s one-day cricket, and, hopefully, we are starting to make improvements.
“There will be expectation on me to perform (at Finals Day), but that’s the case with any one-day game.
“It’s a big day out and a great day out, particularly if you’re part of the team that lifts the trophy.”
Willey, one of four Yorkshire players who appeared in the World T20 final against the West Indies in April, along with Joe Root, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid, has made a habit of performing on the big stage.
He did it again when helping Yorkshire book their place at Edgbaston with a 90-run win over Glamorgan in the quarter-final in Cardiff, thumping 79 from 38 balls with seven fours and six sixes.
“I like to perform on the big occasions,” he said.
“Against Glamorgan, I didn’t really have a plan; I just tried to give myself a chance to clear the ropes, and a couple of loose deliveries gave me a platform.
“We’re all looking forward to Finals Day, and fingers-crossed we can win a couple more games and get the trophy.
“We’ve got all our England lads back, which will make it a massive headache for the coaches to pick 11 players.”
The man with the headache is first-team coach Jason Gillespie, who has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal.
But you can bet that one of the first names on his team sheet will be Willey, who has a proven record for lighting up Finals Day.
“Dave’s the type of player who can change a game,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Durham in the second semi-final, with the winner playing Northants or Notts in the final.
“We’ve seen what he’s done for Northants in the past, and he can pick up wickets early and swing the ball, score quick runs and he’s always in the game.
“That’s what I really like about him, and he’s brought a lot to our team.
“We’re delighted to have him because he’s such a positive guy, happy to challenge his team-mates – which is really healthy – and very competitive, too.”
Willey’s all-round ability gives Gillespie flexibility.
He is effectively three players in one – good with the bat, ball and in the field.
“To have someone who’s great in the field, who whacks them like he does, and who opens the bowling gives us so many extra options,” said Gillespie.
“It allows us to play an extra batsman as well.
“The start he gives us with the bat is fantastic, and it’s something we probably haven’t had in T20 for a while.
“It showed with his performance at Cardiff, when people could see why we were so keen to secure his services.”
Gillespie encourages all of his players to speak in the dressing room and Willey will address the team prior to Finals Day.
Yorkshire are keen to tap into his knowledge and know-how in an effort to gain an extra edge.
“Some of our lads haven’t been to Finals Day before, and it will be good to get Dave’s thoughts in the team meeting,” said Gillespie.
“His knowledge of it will be important, and something that we can draw on, and Dave’s the type of player who steps up when needed, and hopefully he can show everyone how good he is again.
“We’ve got a lot of match-winners in our side, and it’s going to be fantastic
“There was a lot of drive and ambition from everyone at the club to get this far in the competition after everyone had written us off – that was a really good motivating tool for us – and we’re just pleased as punch to be in with a shout.”
Ben Duckett hopes Northants can sneak under the radar again, having been part of the Steelbacks side which defied the odds to win the tournament in 2013 and fell at the final hurdle against Lancashire 12 months ago.
Northants face Notts Outlaws in the first semi-final today and are the only side involved in Finals Day who have previously won the competition.
Left-hander Duckett says confidence will be high despite their lack of high-profile players.
“We haven’t got any international stars. Finals Day will be interesting to see who is talked about – Yorkshire,” said the 21-year-old Duckett.
“We just keep going under the radar but smost of our guys love the pressure. We just go out and enjoy ourselves.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/t20-finals-day-david-willey-is-aiming-to-give-yorkshire-the-edge-1-8079713 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/3c112da17bdf88c8aa89292feac07f69615945bee4e48f0199542f9bfe5ae2dd.json |

The effect was sensational but one property stood out from the rest after owners Tony and Lori Handley decided to cover their house in giant red spots in honour of the King of the Mountain jersey.
The Spotty House. Picture: Charlotte Gale Photography
The Royal Oak on Bond End, Knaresborough, best known as “The Spotty House”, achieved international fame after the BBC beamed pictures of it to 160 countries on the morning of the big race
Now there’s a chance to own the landmark property as the four-bedroom home and its two holiday cottages are up for sale for £850,000 with Dacre, Son and Hartley.
Mr and Mrs Handley are hoping that would-be buyers will continue to decorate the building and put a smile on the faces of passers-by.
Since the red spots in 2014, the Royal Oak has been dotted with red noses, which raised almost £2,000 for Comic Relief. On Valentine’s Day, it was covered with hearts to help Visit Harrogate promote romantic breaks. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Great Knaresborough Bed Race, it was decorated with balloons and it sported Christmas trees to promote the 2015 Knaresborough Christmas Tree Festival. It was back to spots again in April this year when Le Tour de Yorkshire rode through Knaresborough.

The trimming up tradition started when the Tour de France route was announced. Mrs Handley, an artist, came up with the idea of decorating the house for the event. She wanted to turn it into a Yorkshire Tea tin but Le Tour organisers saw it as advertising so she settled on the spots. She also encouraged local schoolchildren to decorate T-shirts that were then strung up as 2.5km of bunting.
“We realised the race would come right past our front door and we just knew we needed to get behind the event and raise the profile of our very special town,” said Mr Handley, a retired marketing expert and former mayor, also known as “Mr Knaresborough”.
“At 6.30am on the morning of race, a chant went up ‘we want the mayor’. I stuck my head out of the bedroom window and a microphone came up and a presenter said, ‘Hello, I’m from the BBC’. I asked the crowd how long we should keep the spots and they shouted back ‘forever’. That footage went worldwide and we have since had guests from as far afield as China, Canada and America in our cottages who have all seen our house on their local television stations.”
While the TV coverage was PR gold, the Handley’s were even more thrilled when their efforts helped Knaresborough win the “Best Dressed Town” prize awarded by Welcome to Yorkshire and The Yorkshire Post,
Welcome to Yorkshire has used the house to showcase and promote the region and the Handleys also won a Harrogate Hospitality and Tourism award last year in recognition of the property’s outstanding contribution to tourism. The Spotty House also boasts several more awards from Knaresborough in Bloom.
The couple were worried about objections to their treatment of a grade two listed building but local people were thrilled with the attention-grabbing façade and planners were sympathetic as the decoration is not permanent. Although the spots appear to be painted on, they are stick-on vinyl discs, which cost £90, and are easily removed.
The Handleys bought the property 10 years ago. They have since refurbished the main house, converted an old stable and tack room into holiday lets and have been instrumental in boosting the town’s profile.
They are selling up to move to Northumberland so that Lori, who specialises in seascapes, will have more time to paint her favourite subject.
They have just had the house re-rendered and painted so it is spot-free at the moment but Mr Handley said: “We hope that whoever buys it will carry on the tradition. The house is a landmark, especially for children who think Mr Tumble lives here. It has made so many people smile and it has been great publicity for Knaresborough, which is a wonderful town.”
Estate agent Simon Davies, manager of Dacre, Son and Hartley’s Knaresborough branch, added: “The whole offering really is very attractive and unique, and we are expecting plenty of interest in ‘The Spotty House’, which will no doubt continue to play its part in the fabric of Knaresborough.”

History of ‘the Spotty House’
The first written records of a property on the site are from 1726 in the will of Thomas Atkinson, who bequeathed his estate to his three children.
It is not until 1781 that records show it being used as the Hare and Hounds Inn. The first reference to the Royal Oak is in 1826.
It was sold to John Smith’s Brewery of Tadcaster in 1925.

They top along list of big name local breaking local bands - including The Wired, Fighting Caravans and Faux Pas - who are being showcased at Leeds.
Local talent is joining the the likes of Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy - who played Leeds last night - Foals and Disclosure, who perform tonight, and Red Hot Chili Peppers who will close Leeds Festival this Bank Holiday weekend.

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

FAMOUS YORKSHIRE FOOD COMPANIES AND BRANDS
Thornton's - the High Street sweet shop favourite was founded in Sheffield in 1911 by Joseph Thornton. Following his death in 1919, his sons took over the business and watched it grow across northern England and then Britain.
Harry Ramsden - The world famous fish and chip shop began in 1928 when Harry Ramsden began selling fish and chips from a hut on the outskirts of Guiseley. Harry built the world's biggest fish and chip shop on the site and although it closed in 2011 and now trades under another name, the brand continues across the world.
You can't beat a cup of Yorkshire Tea.
Aunt Bessie's - The world's largest brand of frozen Yorkshire Puddings began life in Hull just over 20 years ago. Previously, the firm had made and sold puddings to Butlin's holiday camps to keep holidaymakers from going hungry.
Terry's - The purveyor of the world famous All Gold chocolate selection box and the Chocolate Orange, the firm began life in 1823 in York, eventually leading to the construction of a massive chocolate factory in the city, which closed down more than a decade ago.
Rowntree's - Another sweet treat favourite based in York, the firm has given the world Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Tooty Frooties, Jelly Tots and chocolate bars such as Kit Kat, Aero, Smarties as well as Dairy Box, Black Magic and Polos.
Mackintosh - Cementing Yorkshire's place as a provider of sweets, the Halifax based toffee manufacturer gave us brands such as Quality Street, Rolo, Caramac and Toffee Crisp before merging with Rowntree.
The Kit Kat has been a staple of Yorkshire lunchboxes since the 1930s.
Bassett's - Founded by George Bassett in Sheffield in 1842, the firm first gave the world liquorice allsorts - with the mixed bag of confection arriving by accident when a travelling salesman dropped his boxes of sweets on a sales visit. The shopkeeper decided the mixed up sweets looked better and so an institution was born.
Fox's Biscuits - A small confectionery shop founded in the centre of Batley in 1853 is the root of the biscuit empire which has given the world brands such as Rocky, Echo and Classic.
Seabrook Crisps - Founded in 1945 by Charles Brook in Bradford in 1945. The crisp manufacturer's name came about when a clerk wrote Seabrook instead of C Brook - and another Yorkshire legend arrived.
Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate - Nothing says Yorkshire more than tea and cakes at Bettys. The firm was established in 1919 and the world famous Harrogate cafe was the world's first branch. It bought the Yorkshire Tea brand Taylors in 1962.
Henderson's Relish - Dinner (or should that be tea?) just isn't the same in Sheffield without a splash of Hendo's on it. The spicy sauce has now outgrown its South Yorkshire roots and while still made there is now enjoyed across the land by the likes of Sean Bean and Def Leppard.
KP Nuts - The firm begain in Rotherham in the 1850s with the famous nuts arriving a century later in 1853. The KP stands for Kenyon Produce.
The Harry Ramsden restaurant in Guiseley before its closure.
YORKSHIRE FOOD AND DRINK WE'VE GIVEN THE WORLD
Pontefract Cakes - first made in the town in 1760. The licquorice sweets are an enduring favourite.
Wensleydale Cheese - The famous cheese, much loved by Wallace and Gromit, has been made at the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes to traditional recipes for decades.
Jelly Babies - The sweet treats were unveiled by Bassett's in 1918 to celebrate the end of World War One and were originally known as Peace Babies.
Polos - The mint with the hole first hit the shelves in 1948, courtesy of Rowntree's. However, the hole didn't appear until later - in 1955.
Kit Kat - Made its debut in 1935 as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp and took on its famous moniker two years later so the world could have a break.
Smarties - The famous children's favourite chocolate beans took on the Smarties name in 1937 and have been a staple for youngsters everywhere ever since.
Samuel Smith's and John Smith's - both based in Tadcaster and from the same family strand. John Smith's Bitter is the nation's favourite beer, with more than a million pints sold across the UK each day.
Tetley's - Founded in 1822 by Joshua Tetley in Leeds, the brewery no longer exists, but the brand is still a big British seller with Smoothflow produced at other UK plants.
Theakston's Old Peculier - The distinctive black beer has been produced in Masham since 1827.
Tetley Tea - The largest tea company in the UK, the firm has Yorkshire roots with Joseph and Edward Tetley, who began selling sea salt in 1822, adding tea to their repertoire shortly afterwards.
Fentimans - Created in 1905 by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton. Now based in Northumberland, the firm brews soft bottled drinks to traditional recipes.
Ginger beer - Originally an alcoholic drink, it has been in existence since the 1700s and was first created in Yorkshire.
Parkin - The Yorkshire form of gingerbread and traditionally eaten on Bonfire Night. It is thought to date from at least the 1700s.
Whitby scampi - Whitby Seafoods serves up scampi - langoustines (or in other words, mini lobsters) to plates across the world.
Yorkshire puddings - The mainstay of any Sunday dinner, the humble pud has been with us for more than 270 years and a recipe for a dripping pudding first originated in 1737.
Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb - The Rhubarb Triangle - an area between Wakefield, Leeds and Bradford - was given protected EC status. The plants are grown in the dark to make them more tender and sweet.
Fat Rascals - Yorkshire's favourite biscuit and another staple for any afternoon tea at Bettys. Their roots stem from Yorkshire - although no-one is quite sure of the story behind them.
McCain - The Scarborough chip manufacturer has been putting spuds on the nation's dinner plates for decades - and Oven Chips are its most popular brand.
Haribo - The German manufacturer has a factory in Pontefract which churns out billions of sweets annually, proving that kids and grown-ups do indeed love it so.
More than one million pints of John Smith's are downed in the UK each day. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/yorkshire-day-countdown-how-our-gorgeous-grub-took-over-the-globe-1-8019917 | en | 2016-07-28T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/29a96ffd35a0f6533e4c3f354de61252c6a6aa8e9a14b671965eff40745064fa.json |

The good news is that a brand new modern bar The Last Post has already risen from the ashes of The Slip Inn.
If you visit The Last Post on Cold Bath Road just up the road from The Fat Badger you will notice no trace of its ancient predecessor.
The Last Post is a little bit of Leeds in Harrogate with all the hallmarks of a quietly on-trend craft beer bar in the city.
It works. It looks good, feels good and has a good, if small-ish, range of beers.
All in all, The Last Post is a welcome addition to Harrogate's burgeoning bar scene.
Located just across from the Italian Connection, interestingly, work is going on for another new Harrogate bar in the same area.
The sign just up from the Italian Connection says "Seafood and Champagne bar" .
Let's see what happens,
As for now deceased Slip Inn, it was once described by online pub guide www.whatpub.com as a "traditional old boozer".
It stood on Cold Bath Road for at least 30 years, quietly doing business in the days of the Adelphi Hotel up the road - before that was turned into elderly residential apartments.
Its successor, The Last Post Social House has already been successful in Ripponden where the Social House has been a huge hit since it was opened in 2008.
The Last Post brand was the brainchild of Lee Roberts, Adrian Burr and Sarah Stuttle who has previously been responsible for successful foodie in West Vale and Holmfirth.
A spokesman said: "We see a huge potential for The Last Post in Harrogate. People just want a great place to have a drink and be social.
"It's cocktails and champagne for the ladies and tasty beers for the gents."
The Last Post will also be offering live cricket and football screenings, quiz nights and occasional live music. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/what-is-harrogate-s-new-bar-the-last-post-actually-like-1-8079096 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/7881340019a288866d333ff5e59691fffc15da6a3f1f387097ca113d339ea1ad.json |

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.”

The walk also has the added charm of passing several pubs en route, a bonus for the thirsty and unhurried.
The starting point is Spofforth Castle. Home of the Percy family in the middle ages, it was shelled by Parliamentarian troops in the Civil war and has lay in ruins ever since. Notwithstanding, the turret at the Northwestern corner still stands proud and is reputedly home to the ghost of a lady who jumped from the top of the tower.
From the castle, leave the grounds along Manor Garth and follow the path underneath an old stone rail bridge.
Progressing up a slight hill after the railway bridge the path bisects Spofforth Golf Course for several hundred metres before reaching open pastures.
Continue over a small footbridge with Lodge Wood on the right hand side. At the end of the wood there are several curiosities, including a hidden pond and huge spider-like tree stump.
Pressing on due west on a track through farmland, a clear day affords excellent panoramas of the surrounding countryside,
Follow the track in a westerly direction to Sunrise farm before turning more southerly to the village of Kirkby Overblow. The village was featured in the Domesday book, and is so-named due to its Iron-smelting past.
Following the main road SE through the village, the cross-country path resumes to the left amongst the last of the houses.
The route now heads in an easterly direction, alongside hedgerows and skirting a small wood.
At the end of the wood, turn hard right over the wall onto the ‘Keeper’s walk’, keeping the fence on your immediate right.
Across several fields, meeting several sedentary bullocks, the route again changes direction.
This time, a wall and hedgerow have to be crossed onto Marsh Lane, a small track.
Further farmland and open meadows surround the track from here, before a slight incline with Addlethorpe Wood on the left hand side.
From here, turn right down Addlethorpe Lane to meet the main road into Sicklinghall village, which is reached after a brief half-mile walk on the roadside verge.
There are several paths from this village across open countryside. This path lies at the far end of the village, passing the Scotts Arms and village pond.
Take a left onto Stockeld Lane immediately after the pond. Follow Stockeld Lane for around 100 metres. Keep a close look out for the style onto the fields on the left, which can become very overgrown in summer.
From here, walking due north, there are several open fields to cross and styles to negotiate, with the grounds of Stockeld Park visible on the far right hand side.
Continue due north and meet Park lane on the outskirts of Spofforth, crossing the road onto the path on the far side. With the cricket ground over to the left, the end is near when again a stone rail bridge comes into view.
Once under the bridge, continue straight ahead to the wooden gate which is marked as a right of way.
At the end of the path turn left to process through the village to the starting point at Spofforth Castle.
Three villages and, hopefully, a great day out.

It’s biscuit week and Val and her ten fellow remaining contestants will have to bake impressive signature dishes, technical challenges and showstoppers to stay in the competition.
The 66-year-old retired headteacher lives in Yeovil with husband Ian, but she is originally from Conisbrough, Doncaster, so we’ve claimed her as our own.
She delighted viewers with her odd baking tactics on BBC One last Wednesday.
Val exercises at the same time as cooking, lifting alternate feet off the ground as she’s mixing cake batter, or using the baking tray as a weight by lifting it above her head as it cools.
She also listens to her cakes, as she explained to the cameras during the first challenge of the contest, the signature bake.
Holding her precious sponge to her ear, she paused for a moment before saying: “And they’re not ready.
“They sing. And they say ‘I’m not ready, I’m not ready!’”
It’s not all singing and dancing though.
Although we know from last week that she makes a great mirror glaze chocolate genoise sponge, what if biscuits speak a different language to cakes so she can’t hear when they’re ready?
Or maybe her over-enthusiastic dancing will lead to a disaster - last week she dropped a whole rack of delicate decorative petals on the floor of the Bake Off tent.
I’m nervous for her. After all, biscuit week was full of surprises in 2015.
The star baker from week one, Marie Campbell, was sent home from the competition after forgetting to turn the oven on in the technical challenge.
(Iced) fingers crossed this won’t happen to our Val. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/great-british-bake-off-will-yorkshire-lass-val-crumble-on-biscuit-week-1-8097892 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/fd7215602e626ef5b2c84e14ce68b6fb252ca50f989cf7ca6ad9bbaf963f3d67.json |

The gang of thieves travelled to Harrogate from Manchester with rucksacks lined with foil to avoid security detection.
They went into Blacks outdoor-pursuits shop in Station Parade and picked out a number of expensive coats, York Crown Court heard.
They went into the changing rooms supposedly to try on the garments, but came out of the dressing area with “considerably less” coats than they had gone in with, said prosecuting barrister Kirsten Mercer.
They managed to evade security on the way out and left the store with nine new Berghaus and North Face jackets stuffed inside the bags, before heading off in a car.
But they didn’t get out of the borough as North Yorkshire police stopped the Vauxhall Corsa on Wetherby Road, Knaresborough, half an hour later.
Officers searched the vehicle and found the outdoor-pursuit coats - worth £1,550 - inside the boot.
Dayle Blinkhorn, 28, Liam O’Neill, 45, Steven Tahir, 41, and Gareth Tailby, 28, were each charged with theft. A fifth man was arrested but is still at large.
The four defendants eventually pleaded guilty to theft and appeared for sentence on Friday.
Prosecutor Ms Mercer said police stopped the getaway vehicle at about 4pm on October 31 last year. A scan of the national database showed that it had no current owner or insurance.
The court heard that Tahir, of Augustine Webster Close, Harpurhey, had 46 previous convictions for 66 offences, the majority of them for theft.
O’Neill, of Lewis Avenue, Harpurhey, had 39 previous convictions for 68 offences, the majority for theft but also 13 for fraud.
Blinkhorn, who was the driver of the Corsa, had 23 previous convictions for offences including shoplifting, battery and driving matters.
Tailby, lately of Dunluce Street, Liverpool, had 67 previous convictions for 132 offences including 83 thefts.
Judge David Batty QC told the defendants: “It’s perfectly obvious that you four, and another who is not before the courts, were acting as a professional shoplifting team, coming up mob-handed from Manchester, targeting retail premises in Harrogate.”
Tailby, Blinkorn and Tahir were each given 15-month suspended jail sentences with 200 hours’ unpaid work. O’Neill was given a 12-month suspended jail term with the same number of unpaid work hours.
Each defendant was made to pay a statutory surcharge but no costs. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/crime/seasoned-shoplifting-gang-foiled-stealing-1-500-designer-coats-in-harrogate-1-8082506 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/4f31631fc28a36445df45685ee37d9b45b6d9f41de244a49270267d6a30d3e2f.json |

It’s not what it says on his business cards, but Christopher French is what you’d describe as a professional sceptic. Over the last 16 years at the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit he founded, he has poured cold water on the ancient art of dowsing, disproved the claims of a succession of clairvoyants and shown stories of alien abduction to be less about UFOs and more about a phenomena known as sleep paralysis.
Professor Christopher French.
“Sometimes I do feel like I’m the one constantly bursting other people’s bubbles,” says French, who will be appearing at the Berwins Salon North event later this month, exploring the theme of magic. “The dowsing experiments where we concealed a bottle of water in one of six boxes are particularly illuminating.
“For the first test we told the dowsers in which box the bottle was hidden and unsurprisingly the rods all started twitching furiously over the right one. However, the next experiment was conducted randomly - not even we knew where the water was - and guess what? The success rate was no better than chance.”
French, a psychology professor, says the movement of the dowsing rods is the result of the ideomotor effect, slight movements which the individual is unaware they are even making. It’s the same thing which makes the glass on a Ouija board move and French has an armoury of logical reasoning to explain away most paranormal events.
And yet despite all the evidence, many of us not only still believe in the paranormal, but will pay good money to clairvoyants and tarot card readers to tell us things about our past and future which may or may not prove true.
“For a lot of people an interest in the paranormal is a matter of curiosity, a bit of a laugh,” says French. “I suspect that most people who watch shows like Most Haunted don’t take it very seriously. I also believe that the vast majority of clairvoyants absolutely believe they are in touch with the other side. Of course there are charlatans who are trained in cold reading techniques and who wear earpieces so they can be fed information about the audience, but most genuinely believe that they can help people.
“However, out of all the psychics we have tested not one has been able to demonstrate they have special powers and yet they still go away believing they have. I have only seen one person genuinely gobsmacked and even then after a couple of days she had convinced herself that it wasn’t a fair test.
“I know a lot of people find comfort in seeing clairvoyants and if they aren’t causing any particular harm, then I guess the question is what’s the problem?”
French says he does try to be sensitive to those who use these readings to deal with life’s problems. It’s arguably less harmful than the bottle of wine or packet of cigarettes others reach for in times of need. However, it is an industry which has a more sinister side.
“There are cases when it is obviously doing more harm than good. If someone has a terminal illness and finds something like crystal healing brings some comfort towards the end of their life then it would be a very mean individual who robs them of that. However, there are people diagnosed with a treatable disease who are persuaded to reject traditional medicine in favour of some alternative treatment which will not make one iota of difference. It’s selling false hope and in the worse case scenario by the time they realise it’s too late.”
One of French’s specialist areas is the phenomena of false memories. For some it will mean a belief that in the past life they were Mary Queen of Scots, but it has also been linked to high profile allegations of child abuse.
“During the 1980s and 90s, people were going in for therapy for everything from eating disorders to depression and suddenly were coming out with memories of satanic child abuse. These stories were detailed and horrific.
“They talked of rituals where babies had been sacrificed and where children had been made to eat human body parts. It was nightmare stuff, but no bodies were found, there was no forensic evidence, but by the time the authorities realised there wasn’t a case to answer families had been ripped apart. Some people working in adult psychology are convinced that every problem in adulthood can be traced back to abuse in childhood and if some of these troubled individuals are asked again and again to trawl their past they will eventually uncover very detailed memories of events which in fact didn’t happen at all.”
It’s the same he says with cases of alien abduction which can often be explained by what’s known as sleep paralysis.
“Around a third of us will suffer it at some point. It’s basically where you wake up and you can’t move your body. It normally lasts a few seconds, but it can be accompanied by more involved symptoms. Some people experience hallucinations, which often involve a presence in the room, there’s a feeling of pressure on the chest and difficulty breathing. Add in strange lights and suddenly the tales of those who think they have been visited by UFOs suddenly start to make a lot of sense.”
French may now be the very definition of a cynic, but admits that for a long time he was on the other side of the paranormal debate.
“While it wasn’t an all-consuming passion, like a lot of teenagers I watched TV programmes about all this weird and wonderful stuff and gut instinct told me there was something in it. In fact I was a believer until I was doing my Phd in my early 20s and someone recommended a book by James Alcock called Parapsychology: Science of Magic? Reading that the scales fell from my eyes.”
French has provided a sceptical voice for countless documentaries and television shows and say there has only been a couple of occasions where he has been at a loss for a rational explanation.
“A few years ago I was involved in a Channel 5 series called Extraordinary People. One of the episodes called The Boy Who Lived Before was about a little lad called Cameron Macauley. He lived with his very down to earth mum in Glasgow, but since he was two he had talked of his previous life on the Isle of Barra.
“He was an incredibly bouncy five year old and I thought his memories could have been fed by things he’d seen on the television or internet. However, it was impossible not to be moved when they took him to Barra. All of a sudden his demeanour changed. He clearly wasn’t faking it and there were a lot of unanswered questions.”
French is a rational voice amid often wild claims, but even he admits that sometimes he has to hold up his hands and admit defeat, particularly when it comes to conspiracy theorists.
“If you don’t believe them you are either a sheeple, a big dumbass who can’t see through the lies or part of the conspiracy itself.It’s like nailing jelly to the wall.”
Professor Christopher French will be one of three guests speakers at the final event of this year’s Berwins Salon North series, which explores the world of magic. He will be joined by comedy performer Doug Segal, who is known for his award winning live mind-reading acts and award-winning science journalist Jo Marchant, who is also the author of Cure – A Journey into the Science of Mind over Body.

David Willey pinned James Tredwell lbw for 17 with the fifth ball of the 48th over to complete a game which had ebbed and flowed to the delight of a near-capacity crowd of almost 6,000.
Adam Lyth top-scored with 88 from 96 balls, hitting a six and eight fours, as Yorkshire reached 256 for 9 from their 50 overs after being asked to bat.
Matt Coles took 3 for 39 from his ten overs for Kent and Charlie Hartley, a 22-year-old seamer playing in only his third List A game, dismissed both Joe Root, for 45, and Jonny Bairstow in his ten-over stint of 2 for 42.
Hartley, coming in at No 10, then almost took Kent home, scoring 15 in a nail-biting ninth wicket stand of 29 in 6.2 overs with Tredwell before being lbw to Adil Rashid’s googly to the last ball of the 47th over as Kent eventually could make just 245 in reply.
Kent initially slipped to 66 for 4 with Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Northeast and Sam Billings all out cheaply, but Darren Stevens and Alex Blake revived them with a fifth wicket stand of 86 in 13 overs.

Blake made 50 and Stevens 54 and, when they fell to Willey and Liam Plunkett respectively, it was left to Kent’s lower order to try to get them over the line. Despite their best efforts, they could not quite do it, with Plunkett finishing with 4 for 52 and Rashid bowling some crucial overs at the death.
Blake played brilliantly for 50 from 38 balls, hitting off spinner Azeem Rafiq on to the roof of the Underwood and Knott Stand for six and also including seven fours in a counter-attacking knock that shook Yorkshire’s international-class bowling attack.
Willey, however, cleverly decided to test the 27-year-old with a succession of short balls, one of which hit Blake a nasty blow on the chin, and won the duel when the left-hander flapped at another bouncer and edged through to the keeper.
Stevens, in his benefit year, also batted with great spirit in his 500th match for Kent in all formats – and 742nd in senior cricket overall – but the home challenge faded when he fell to a magnificent one-handed caught-and-bowled by Plunkett, flinging himself to his left.

Will Gidman managed 19, uppercutting Plunkett for six, before giving the same bowler another return catch and Coles, who briefly raised Kent hopes again with a four and two sixes smeared over the legside ropes off Rafiq, was stumped by Bairstow off Adil Rashid’s googly for a quickfire 22.
Willey had earlier pinned Bell-Drummond leg-before for 2 with the last ball of the second over, an inswinging yorker that hit the batsman on the boot, and Kent lost two more top order wickets in successive overs when Northeast chipped Plunkett to short mid wicket on 23 and Billings was beaten by a Steven Patterson off-cutter and lbw for one to his fourth ball.
At least Northeast had helped Joe Denly to add 50 in 9.4 overs for the second wicket, swinging Tim Bresnan’s medium pace into the adjoining building site for six in the process, while Denly drove Patterson for a maximum over long on and had also hit four fours in a 45-ball 31 when he top-edged an attempted swivel-pull at Plunkett and skied to mid on.
Lyth sprang from the traps in the early overs, thumping Mitch Claydon through the covers for four and then hammering a length ball straight for six. Alex Lees, his opening partner, also lofted Claydon for four but, from the next ball, he pulled to deep square leg to depart for 7 and leave Yorkshire 27 for 1 after five overs.
Root then joined Lyth in a stand of 90 in 18 overs that oozed quality, but just when it seemed the England No 3 was moving up the gears he was gone, for 45 from 55 balls with only three fours, brilliantly held on the deep mid wicket ropes by Blake who sprinted to his left and leapt to hold a flat pull and give Hartley the first success of a day to remember.
Bairstow, after one sublime push-drive for four wide of mid on off Hartley, then fell for 7 as he mis-hit to Bell-Drummond at a deepish mid on to give the young seamer his second high-profile scalp.
redwell bowled a typically steady ten-over stint of off spin, though without success, and the return of Coles for the 34th over brought immediate reward when left-hander Lyth was beaten by a fine ball angled across him down the slope which he thin-edged to keeper Billings.
Bresnan and Willey were then removed in the same over, the 39th, by Will Gidman as Kent – who had bowled with discipline and fielded like tigers – began to sense Yorkshire’s unease and turn the screw.
Bresnan, having laboured to 10, scooped tamely to short extra cover and Willey flicked at a legside delivery and was smartly caught by Billings, moving to his right.
Hartley returned to finish his 10-over allocation, almost having Plunkett caught and bowled and then hitting the England one-day international on the grille of his helmet as he tried to pull a short ball that stuck in the pitch. Gidman, meanwhile, beat Ballance with successive deliveries that seamed away from him.
It was no surprise when Plunkett, who could not get going, skied Coles to Northeast at extra cover for 16 from 21 balls, leaving Ballance and Rashid to collect what runs they could from the closing overs.
Ballance, having struggled to 37 from 55 balls, was run out when Rashid turned down a third run and he could not get back to the bowler’s end and Coles pegged back Rafiq’s off stump for 1 to take his competition wicket tally to 24 at 17.41 runs apiece.
A straight four and pulled six by Rashid off Claydon in the final over took Yorkshire beyond 250 but they had looked certain to total nearer 300 when Lyth and Root were together. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/yorkshire-survive-kent-scare-to-set-up-royal-london-semi-final-date-with-surrey-1-8077413 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/864b017b128d7f7663ad9fbf7d67e94c87ff7cedf2b214675972a2fd432c99cb.json |

The 150 square metres of lovely fabric is the centre-piece of a new exhibition called Swarm by this award-winning painter, printer and, yes, beekeeper.
But there’s a lot more to Swarm than Laney’s stunning installation.
Swarm also showcases the work of a dozen or so other local artists, including Harrogate ceramic artist Anna Whitehouse, Harrogate filmmaker Helen Petts, Harrogate jewellery designer Janet Yeun Yau, Markington lino print specialist Pam Grimmond and Pateley Bridge’s versatile artist and textile designer Gill Kirk.
It’s been a massive task gathering the bee prints, Laney tells me, involving a series of workshops in local galleries, schools, colleges, garden centres and, even, a hen party.
In total Laney says it’s taken the active participation of more than 1,500 people to get to this point.
She said: “I didn’t know what 50,000 bees was going to look like. I’d picked that figure because it’s the number you need at this time of year to create a strong enough hive to survive the winter months.
“I didn’t know it was going end up this big. It has taken over my life but the response has been absolutely amazing.”
The artist’s aim is to highlight the importance to our environment of the humble British bumble bee and the current threat to bees from pesticides and climate change.
Laney said: “By bringing together installation sound, film and innovative arts and crafts I hope to raise awareness of the issue.”
But, should they wish, visitors to Swarm at the Inspired by Gallery @ North York Moor National Park Centre can simply enjoy the experience of walking inside the delicately constructed fabric ‘beehive’ created by Laney.
Swarm runs until August 9.

Yorkshire were sufficiently concerned that rain would run their hopes of a final day victory against Nottinghamshire – after they had passed up the chance to enforce the follow-on on day two - that they arranged for their “Blotter” to be brought over at 5.00 yesterday morning from their Headingley headquarters some 70 miles away.

After two hours of blotting the saturated outfield, play was able to start on time and Yorkshire romped to a 305-run win after Notts resumed on 61-3.
Had there been an official man-of-the match, the “Blotter” would have been a strong contender, with Yorkshire’s 21-point triumph closing the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex.
If Yorkshire had not prevailed, they might have been tempted to get “blottoed” hours after calling for the “Blotter”, following their decision to bat again with a first innings lead of 188.
That decision, unanimous in the dressing room according to first team coach Jason Gillespie, was not quite so unanimous among the Yorkshire supporters, who could be heard debating it in and outside the ground for two days with all the gravitas of whether a nation should go to war.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan is congratulated by Ryan Sidebottom and team mates on dismissing Nottinghamshire's Tom Moores. Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
But, as William Shakespeare once scribbled, ‘all’s well that ends well”, and history will remember the result first and foremost.
For Gillespie, it was vindication of Yorkshire’s approach as they made suitably light work of the division’s bottom club after recovering from a perilous 51-6 on the opening day.
“It was the right call (to bat again),” said Gillespie.
“People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on, but we stick by what we believe is the best opportunity to win the game of cricket, and we were vindicated there.
“The bottom line is, it was a very important result against a very good side.
“Having been 51-6 on the first day, to win by over 300 runs, this team never ceases to amaze me.
“I can’t be any more proud of them. There are no words to describe it.”
After the torrential rain of the previous night, the “Blotter” went about its business beneath sunny skies as summer returned to North Marine Road. Technically, it did its work so well that Notts even lost a wicket before the official start time of 11, with the clock showing 10.59 when Tom Moores fell to the day’s fourth ball.
Moores, the 19-year-old son of former England head coach Peter, had played with great maturity to make 41 on the third evening.
He had not added to his overnight score – and neither had Notts – when Tim Bresnan located his edge from the Trafalgar Square end, Adam Lyth doing the rest at second slip.
Notts fell to 77-5 when Samit Patel perished after half-an-hour, adjudged caught behind off Bresnan by umpire Neil Mallender.
Patel stood his ground in echoes of Michael Lumb’s dismissal the previous evening, when he, too, felt that Mallender had wrongly given him out caught behind, and the visitors’ cause became utterly hopeless when Bresnan claimed his fifth wicket, Chris Read edging to Jake Lehmann at fourth slip.
Bresnan has never had a six-wicket haul in his distinguished career, and this was only his eighth “five-fer” in first-class cricket.
He had to content himself with career-best figures of 5-36, and his best match haul of 8-51 too, his spell of 3-9 in 31 balls during an eight-over burst yesterday morning ensuring that there would be no unexpected resistance from the visiting team.
That is not to say that they put up the white flag, however, on a day when it would probably have blown away in any case such was the strength of the south-westerly wind. As the red-and-white pin-striped deckchairs flapped in front of the Festival marquee, and as the washing hanging outside the houses at the Trafalgar Square End enjoyed a late-summer airing, Notts showed fight through Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton.
The pair negotiated the 80 minutes remaining until lunch before Hutton fell to the third ball after the break, drawn forward by a tantalising delivery from Ryan Sidebottom from the Peasholm Park End and caught behind by wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Taylor fell to the third delivery of the next over when he lobbed a short ball from Jack Brooks to cover, having resisted gamely for over two-and-a-half hours, and Brooks bowled Luke Fletcher with the next delivery to leave Notts 130-9.
Brooks wrapped it up at 2pm in his next over, Imran Tahir turning to short-leg as the pace bowler ended with 4-35, Notts all out for 146. Yorkshire left the field to a standing ovation from the 2,676 crowd, which lifted the match attendance to 15,283, a ringing endorsement for England’s finest outground. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/tim-bresnan-and-blotter-combine-to-vindicate-yorkshire-s-scarborough-tactics-1-8092010 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/219662faab3657ffeb32d8758c74ce962a188132dc5852c751eb2dbc1de38bf3.json |

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.

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.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-yorkshire-lookint-to-seize-the-moment-in-championship-title-bid-1-8083109 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/7caca34b6669eedd5ed02ac707a9db1c457e857e4223ddce1bd35777b41a00b4.json |

Famed for its laidback atmosphere, live music, wooden floorboards and real ales, the Blues Bar has been shortlisted in the final of the Great British Pub of the Year awards.
Owned by Simon and Sharon Colgan, this popular independent is one of just six bars across the entire country to feature in the Entertainment Pub of the Year category.
Located on Montpellier Hill just down from Bettys tea room, the Blues Bar may be tiny but it's always been a magnet for people from outside Harrogate - as well as its loyal regulars.
Famous names who've either played or popped in for a drink over the last 25 years include K T Tunstall, Oscar-winning actor and musician Glenn Hansard with his band The Frames and Gary US Bonds.
The Blues Bar will find out if emerges as national champion at a black tie evening at the glitzy Hilton Hotel on Park Lane in London on October 5.
Alhough renowned for its traditional, if slightly funky, look, the Blues Bar acquired an exotic new feature last year when it transformed its upper floor into a small but relaxed high class gin and cocktail bar and BBQ food restaurant called The Green Room.
And it's certainly accustomed to awards success.
It was nominated for the PRS-sponsored Music Pub of the Year Award in the same copmpetition in 2011 and narrowly missed out on the award in 2005 when it was ‘Highly Commended’.
The Great British Pub Awards are the leading competition event in most licensees' calendars. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-bar-is-shortlisted-for-top-uk-award-in-london-1-8020460 | en | 2016-07-18T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/414725d90f6c95506cfb6c15e7a6a791458ae2abb74810ed6a0ba52b403e297e.json |

Why, the Yorkshire captain said so himself.
Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale has been hard at work in the nets. Picture: Jonathan Gawthorpe.
“If there was a second team lad who was stacking them up, and really putting pressure on, then it would be a case of leaving myself out,” he admitted prior to this match.
“But there’s no one really breathing down my neck.”
Gale, who added that he wanted to be “speaking for myself with runs”, had made 327 of them in the Championship this season at 19.23.
He had managed only one half-century in 18 innings.
Admitting that his form was “a worry”, and that he was “short of confidence”, Gale did what he has traditionally done in such situations – he knuckled down and fought with every sinew.
The result was an innings of 83 at Old Trafford yesterday which, although not the three-figure score he had set his heart on, was testimony to his character, an innings which helped Yorkshire to avoid the follow-on as they made 360 in reply to 494, Lancashire ending day three on 70-0 in their second innings, enjoying a lead of 204.
Had Gale translated his highest score of the season into his first century of the campaign, it would have been a fitting achievement.
It was on his last appearance at Old Trafford in 2014 that he had the infamous altercation with Ashwell Prince that led to him being banned and prevented from lifting the Championship trophy.
That episode was the nadir of Gale’s career, so it would have been a cathartic experience to have registered a hundred.
As it was, he could content himself with a fine contribution, one which restated his personal authority and which helped his side in a sticky situation.
That situation saw the Yorkshire score standing at 55-2 when Gale came to the crease on the second afternoon.
He and Alex Lees added 81 in 42 overs before close of play, and the pair carried on from where they left off in glorious sunshine yesterday morning.
Gale battled through to a half-century from 162 balls with six fours, with Yorkshire building a powerful platform.
But they lost the anchoring presence of Lees when the stand was worth 130, the opener falling lbw to Kyle Jarvis for a splendid 85 after starting the day on 62.
It was a composed performance from Lees, who faced 260 balls and hit 10 fours, and there was no let-up from Yorkshire as Gale found another strong ally in Jake Lehmann.
The 24-year-old Australian – son of former Yorkshire batsman and current Australia coach Darren Lehmann – soon found his feet in his first innings for the club.
With an effortlessness evocative of his father, Lehmann off-drove Jarvis to the foot of the old pavilion and promptly repeated the feat.
There was a lovely cover-driven four off Nathan Buck and a cut off Tom Smith to the backward-point rope as Lehmann raised a fifty partnership with his captain in just 52 balls.
The stand was broken moments before lunch when Gale was caught in the gully by Simon Kerrigan off Smith, playing a cut shot to a ball that deserved the treatment.
Gale was annoyed with himself for picking out the man, but it was a gutsy effort from the Yorkshire skipper.
After lunch, the visitors slipped from 272-4 to 283-7, at which point the follow-on target was still 62 away.
Adil Rashid was brilliantly caught by Haseeb Hameed at short-leg off Kerrigan, the 19-year-old taking an instinctive catch when the batsman flicked the ball firmly off the back foot.
Lehmann played-on at an attempted cover-drive off Jarvis, falling four short of a half-century, and Tim Bresnan went lbw playing back to Jarvis.
But Andrew Hodd and Steve Patterson added 58 in 17 overs, Hodd scoring a vital 43 before being superbly caught by a diving Liam Livingstone, who ran quickly to his right from slip to take the chance at full stretch after the batsman sliced a leg-side drive.
Patterson cover-drove Nathan Buck to the boundary to take Yorkshire to the magic figure of 345, before the same bowler castled him as he aimed towards leg.
Ryan Sidebottom was last out, caught behind off Kerrigan, the Yorkshireman walking before the umpire raised his finger – an example of good sportsmanship in the passionate cauldron of Roses cricket.
Smith and Hameed, the Lancashire openers, played impressively when the hosts replied.
Hameed, looking every inch a future England player, produced some delightful shots as Lancashire extended their lead in the evening sunshine. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/lancashire-v-yorkshire-day-three-captain-s-innings-from-andrew-gale-arrives-at-ideal-time-1-8070767 | en | 2016-08-16T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/ae74f186d7c58900abe6ee4c2a42a8c6e4cdf24fb8faa294ae6d833007e37e5d.json |

Harrogate-based ‘Norse’, a Nordic-influenced restaurant, has introduced tickets for tables and they’ve gone one step further by offering different prices depending on when you want to eat.
The restaurant is using a reservation system called ‘Tock’ that was created in Chicago for a group of restaurants including ‘Alinea’ – recently announced as the World’s 15th best restaurant.
Owner Paul Rawlinson said: “Harrogate is a really competitive market for independent restaurants especially with the arrival of lots of new chains over the last few months. We wanted a way to broaden the appeal of the restaurant and offering additional value to incentivise guests to visit at quieter times.”
Norse was listed in the Michelin guide and the Good Food Guide in 2015 and was a finalist in The Observer Food Monthly Awards in the category ‘Best Restaurant’.
Offering different prices depending on when you use a service is something that is common for airlines and hotels but not something that is often seen in the restaurant industry, especially in Yorkshire.
Under the new system, diners will have the option of choosing to eat either a four or eight course set menu.
The price of the four-course menu ranges from £25 at 6pm on a Tuesday to £40 at 7pm on a Friday or Saturday. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-restaurant-uses-airline-technology-to-help-diners-1-8007287 | en | 2016-07-11T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/ea6cf877882a235656e7dc67408696182c514622dca8bc2223be3f142e0a037b.json |

I
n terms of traffic, it’s the perfect storm.
Take a highly attractive place to live, a government committed to looser plans rules and the rise of the two or, even, three-car family and the results are almost inevitable.
I’m not alone in this thought, a growing number of posts on this newspaper’s Facebook are now obsessing over traffic congestion.
Some say too many new houses are being built in this district, others call for the construction of a new bypass or two while others put the blame on traffic planners who, to quote one reader, “have never been to the areas they create traffic systems for.”
Frankly, it’s hard to see anything much changing in any of the above any time soon.
That in itself may say something about the sense of powerlessness shared by many people in current times.
But it wasn’t always so. In an earlier era of, perhaps, too much planning, a bold idea arose to tackle traffic in Harrogate town centre.
Build a concrete flyover!
I came across this surprising nugget when I organised an architectural exhibition for Harrogate International Festival Fringe a few years ago.
Called Past Dreams of the Future, it highlighted modern ideas for developing the town in the mid to late 1960s which never became a reality.
And the reason they never became a reality was simple.
Enough people demanded they be stopped, including this newspaper and members of Harrogate Borough Council.
There are times in your life when you find yourself wishing you were in a different carriage or a different train.
Such an occasion happened to me on Saturday while travelling on the York to Harrogate line.
Every summer I go to London and back by train for a day trip and every year this seems to coincide with racing at York.
And every time I go to London and back by train for a day trip coinciding with racing at York, a group of smartly dressed but worse for wear racegoers always seem to choose my carriage to tumble into.
The mixing of sobre passengers and, er, merry ones never makes for a happy cocktail in my experience.
And so it proved on Saturday.
I’m no stranger to the affects of a drink or two but this was something different.
Not that anyone did anything about it as the train rattled its way through Hammerton and Cattal.
No one complained. No one piped up. And neither did I.
A similar situation in the USA would undoubtedly have led to a verbal outburst, then a confrontation, followed by an assault and, possibly, a murder, then a protest and a riot.
So, perhaps, the silent majority did exactly the right thing by keeping quiet in the train carriage from York.
Rather than a result of apathy or fear, perhaps it was a matter of wisdom? | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-s-growing-traffic-congestion-train-nightmare-1-8091666 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/d85a1c6bd29241df1d0fb6bec13e6cdf877dfbeb9359430d1d722a5c21003fd7.json |

The time is right for a new well-crafted but powerful British pop group and that band is Sulk.
Consisting of Tomas Kubowicz, Jakub Starzyński, Andrew Needle, Bhairav Gupta and lead singer, Harrogate’s very own Jonathan Sutcliffe, the five-piece are travelling up from London to play Monteys Rock Cafe tonight, Thursday.
Their latest songs see Sulk bringing psychedelic rock and shoegazing into the 21st century with big echo-ing riffs and unstoppable hooklines.
A follow-up to the band’s well-received debut Graceless in 2013, new releases No Illusions sees the band build on their stellar reputation with Stereogum hailing it as a “gorgeous album.”
Particularly impressive is new track The Tape Of You - and video - which the band’s Andrew Needle played a key role in.
He said: “The song is about choosing to live in a memory rather than the real world, and though that’s enticing, how harmful it can be over time.
“Stuck replaying memories over and over, just rejecting the present and not being able to move on.
“The band stuff was shot at Gun Factory Studios in Hackney and the rest is a load of home movie footage I’d shot on different formats.”
Tomas Kubowicz described the new album as a step forward.
He said: “In terms of influences, when it came to Graceless, it was sided more towards stuff like Creation and The Stone Roses, but that’s what we wanted, that’s what we were really into at the time.
“The second album sounds a bit different, not because we felt the need to change direction, it’s just the music we listen to and get influenced by is slightly different now.
“We were never gonna make a copy of Second Coming!”
No Illusions is out now on on Perfect Sound Forever.
Entry at tonight’s show at Monteys Rock Cafe in Harrogate is free. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/tonight-in-harrogate-psychedelic-rock-and-shoegazing-at-monteys-1-8062305 | en | 2016-08-11T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/7128b36e29083e70288bb2aa972d6a5111b1aab39c68a367aa5d62c1d3c5ffc7.json |

But the woman in question herself, Margaret-Ann de Courcey-Bayley, sees this small piece of history in a very down to earth way.
She said: “It is a big step becoming president. Members’ wives have always helped the Rotary Club in the past but there is a difference between helping and being a full, official member.
“Since I was appointed everyone’s been so kind, so generous and so supportive. You couldn’t have a nicer group of people to be president of.”
Originally set up as a mainly business organisation in 1921, it was only in the 1990s that Harrogate Rotary Club started to actively encourage women to join.
The first lady president has made one small change already – the cover of this latest Rotary Club year book has a new colour – shocking pink!
But last year’s president Graham Saunders sees this milestone moment as more of a continuation of developments already taking place than anything more radical.
He said: “We thought Margaret-Ann had all the skills necessary to be president.
“We are a male/female club and we thought the appointment would also demonstrate that we genuinely do want lady members as well as men.”
Born in County Durham 75 years ago, when it comes to public service this mother of two is vastly experience in a huge variety of fields.
Having worked as a teacher for many years in Harrogate, Margaret-Ann was elected to Harrogate Borough Council in 1986 and represented the Granby ward until she retired in 2011. Not that she has taken it easy at any point. Even her list of the posts she holds currently is simply too lengthy to itemise in full.
Education, economy, health, religion and libraries this is someone whose life is dedicated to service.
Perhaps that’s why this former Harrogate mayor and deputy leader of the council has been the one to make history in this way?
One of the longest-established rotary clubs in Britain, the social side is very important to Harrogate Rotary Club and the benefits of networking at the groups’ weekly Monday night meetings at Ascot House Hotel on Kings Road in a friendly and fun atmosphere are clearly important.
But the glue which holds the Rotary together is the idea of public service, says Margaret-Ann.
She said: “It’s nice to get together and have a meal and a drink but the Rotary is really about service to the community locally, nationally and internationally.”
At an international level, Harrogate Rotary Club is particularly known for its contribution to the environmental movement in Rotary International.
Locally, it supports the Harrogate Flower Fund Homes project - 27 self-contained flats for people over-55s but is probably best known for the annual Nidderdale Charity Walk from Ripley Castle which raises more than £60,000 each year for local charities.
But its work goes well beyond donations and fundraising. It’s a hands-on group, which is the way Margaret-Ann likes it.
She said: “Fundamentally we are about voluntary service. In the Rotary you do real things for real people. We make sure if a local organisation wants to do something good and needs our support to make it happen we will give that support "
Scratch the surface of most local events and the name of Harrogate Rotary, Club, which will celebrate its centenary in just four years’ time, tends to pop up quite a lot.
It’s Rotarians who help steward Knaresborough Bed Race, Rotarians who help steward Harrogate Christmas Market, Rotarians who help steward the Harrogate International Youth Festival parade at Easter, Rotarians who help steward the Big Picnic in Harrogate’s Valley Gardens.
Still, this history and political graduate who is a Friend of Starbeck Library is anything but po-faced about the good work Harrogate Rotary Club does.
It’s a friendly and lively group and she is keen to make a difference in a quiet way as it first-ever lady president.
Margaret-Ann said: “It’s not always easy to attract volunteers but men and women can benefit equally by being members. If more ladies join that’s splendid but it’s really about attracting people who care about the Rotary’s core ideals.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/first-ever-woman-president-of-harrogate-rotary-club-1-8083345 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/3cb74bc77c270d005cfe2696b1ac7d3cd6c767e98e8f13cb9e4f9c1c811a5525.json |

Flaxby Park Limited (FPL) announced in April that they had bought the site after it was put on the market following Skelwith Leisure’s liquidation last year.
The company acquired 280 acres of land but have now announced an option agreement for further land, bringing the total development to approximately 440 acres.
At a public meeting at the Bay Horse Inn, Goldsborough, Ray Mallon, spokesman for FPL explained the number of houses built determines what community facilities can be included on the development.
He said: “In order to reach the level of housing at which a new primary school, health centre, shops and other community and leisure facilities can be included, we will need to build 2,500-3,000 houses.
“There is a balance to be struck between, building sufficient houses to support community facilities and ensuring a lower density of housing in keeping with the quality of the development.
“To build 2000 plus houses on the golf course site would not fit with our plans for high quality housing options, nor would we want to build fewer houses with no community facilities.
“As a result, we have acquired an option agreement on adjacent land to the north of the golf course site.
“This will enable us to reduce the density and increase the range of housing options available, whilst also including integrated community facilities, within a high quality park setting.”
FPL’s plans for a new community include a central hub featuring shops, a primary school, cafes, bars, restaurants and medical and leisure facilities.
Mr Mallon said the homes will cover the full spectrum of housing need, including affordable and starter homes.
Plans for a new rail halt link with the existing Harrogate to York and Leeds line and a park and ride scheme are also being progressed. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/politics/more-homes-could-be-built-on-new-flaxby-village-after-further-land-purchased-1-8081626 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/013f03c524c02fdc87697178a241034d22c7e29e0ede3e12679e1953c78a31a9.json |

Presented by local Platform Open at Major's Tom Social on The Ginnel, Harrogate, In Dreams by Thomas James Butler is described as “an exhibition of analogue collages.”
Launched tonight, Thursday, the artist himself cites influences including Eduardo Paolozzi, Terry Gilliam and David Hockey.
Growing up with weekly trips to galleries and watching his father paint and sculpt, Butler went to art college initially before becoming disillusioned and settling into the world of horticulture.
Living now in the Vale of York, Butler likens his collages to his dreams.
He said: “Asking me to explain my work is like asking me to explain my dreams - I can’t. A dream is a handful of random images from the past and present thrown together in one surreal, fleeting moment.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/surrealist-exhibition-launch-tonight-at-major-tom-s-in-harrogate-1-8064123 | en | 2016-08-11T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/06a4049012a84110857dc5f4cd16de8c0652610188e0f30f453b843068cbd8a5.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 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."
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 at Leeds Festival
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.

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.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/second-scan-clears-willey-for-action-as-yorkshire-get-ready-for-notts-1-8083100 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/1bab89533f355c1a99be39458ab1b242adb76fc776a2e796ca222ab244214783.json |

Knowing a victory was needed to keep pace at the top of the table in what was their game in hand on their main title rivals, the White Rose county backed up Gary Ballance’s decision not to follow-on on Wednesday by securing the win early in the afternoon session.
They needed just 34.3 overs to claim the final seven wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 146 chasing 452 to win and leave their own hopes of survival in Division One hanging in the balance.
They remain rooted bottom to the bottom of the table with three matches to play while Yorkshire stay second and well in the hunt for a third successive Championship title.
Despite heavy rain for much of the evening on the east coast, play got under way on time thanks in no part to the decision to transport the club’s ‘Blotter’ from Headingley to North Marine Road in the early hours of the morning.
The machine spent two hours drying the outfield, and Tim Bresnan was soon reaping the rewards as he had Tom Moores (41) caught by Adam Lyth at second slip from just the fourth ball of the morning.

Having taken two wickets in an over on the previous day, Bresnan continued his fine form with the ball, with Samit Patel the next to succumb to the England all-rounder as he feathered an edge through to wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Notts captain Chris Read fared little better as Bresnan picked up his fifth wicket, Jake Lehman the catcher at fourth slip, but Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton were able to forge a partnership to see Notts through to lunch.
The pair added 47 for the seventh wicket, but just three balls after the interval they were parted as Ryan Sidebottom found Hutton’s outside edge and Hodd took the simplest of catches.
That sparked a lower order collapse, as Brendan Taylor (38) pushed a wide ball from Jack Brooks to Alex Lees at cover and Luke Fletcher was bowled from the very next ball to leave Notts on the brink of defeat.
People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on but it shows the strength of our team and we stick by what we believe gives us the best opportunity to win a game of cricket. Yorkshire head coach, Jason Gillespie.
Imran Tahir was able to survive the hat-trick delivery, but he faced just three more deliveries before fending Brooks off to Lees at short-leg as the final four wickets fell in just three-and-a-half overs after lunch.
Bresnan finished with career best figures of 5-36 and his best in any first-class match across the two innings of 8-51.
Afterwards, Jason Gillespie said the result vindicated the decision not to enforce the follow-on.
“It was the right call,” he said. “People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on but it shows the strength of our team and we stick by what we believe gives us the best opportunity to win a game of cricket. We’ve been vindicated in it.

“It’s a very important result against a very good side. Obviously Notts didn’t play their best cricket but we knew they were going to be a good challenge. We’re pleased as punch. To go from 51 for six on the first day to win by 300 runs – this team never ceases to amaze me. It’s important how you respond to the positions we find ourselves in at times, but I couldn’t be any more proud of them. There’s no words to describe it.
“You can point to a number of individual performances this game that were wonderful performances, but with the team collective there was no panic. There was a real calmness in the dressing room even when we found ourselves in a spot of bother. That is a hallmark of a decent side and a side that backs their ability, trusts their game and believes.
“That’s fantastic for us going into these last four games but we know we just have to control what we can and keep level-headed. Hopefully, that will give us a chance to compete and put us somewhere near the top at the end of the season.”

You can also visit the Bird Gardens that includes a wide range of exotic birds kept in environmentally designed enclosures. The more active can then choose a visit to the adventure playground and also take a boat trip across the lake. Finally you could take a tour of the collections in Harewood House itself. The house has contains a good selection of fine art and period furniture.
This walk provides a suitable and fitting preamble to all the choices of activities on a day out at Harewood House.
The route
The walk around this immaculately managed estate starts at the entrance gates to Harewood Estate near Cote Hill on the A61 Leeds to Harrogate road two miles north of Leeds Grammar School.
At just short of five miles the walk can be enjoyed in two hours but I would recommend you allow yourself three for there are many places to stop and take in the splendour of this illustrious estate.
The first mile is a particular example. It takes you in a westerly direction towards New Bridge and the first encounter with the superb woodland but you won’t want to hurry as this first section provides excellent views of Harewood House itself. The view across from the path is majestic.
After a leisurely amble you eventually reach New Bridge and walk into Piper Wood. More stops immediately occur as you take time out to relax and watch the waters of an estate stream cascade over small falls on their progress to the estate lake. You are looking at the work of Lancelot Capability Brown who designed the grounds of the estate.
After a good viewing, move on through the woods. As you walk you pass the site of the set of the television soap opera Emmerdale Farm. A purpose built village was built on the grounds of the estate in the late 1990s to isolate the popular soap opera from the prying public. Yes, the fictional village of Beckindale is really hidden in the Harewood Estate!
It is well camouflaged from this walk by high walls and discretely planted trees though, so roof-lines are all you’ll see. If you feel disappointed don’t be, for a far more impressive estate village is to come on this walk.
So far you have been walking on the Leeds Country Way designed footpath through the estate, but now leave it to walk due north and out of the woodland at Carr House. You are now on the Ebor Way that eventually leads to York. At Carr House you see the first close sight of the estate lake known as the Fish Pond.
Walk into the estate village of Stank. Despite its unappealing name, the village of Stank is in the most quiet setting. The houses are all stone built and so beautiful.
Move on once more and continue on the Ebor Way alongside The Grove and then take a short detour to visit the church hidden away within the estate. The 15th century church much restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1862-63 is in a magnificent quiet setting. The interior houses a collection of alabaster tombs and effigies depicting the English history of Medieval Armour. The church is open to visits from April to October.
After leaving the church grounds and returning to the walk, head along a walled drive between the church and Harewood village. The final stage of the walk passes the main entrance to Harewood House and then follows the lovely woodland path through Wall Side Plantation back to the starting point. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/lifestyle/walk-a-country-estate-wander-with-a-glimpse-of-soap-stars-1-8078826 | en | 2016-08-21T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/b15d8346c9adaf491201fa3ac9619dc85cb3170989a3354fe43909a839efb402.json |

However, it is not entirely unexpected, with Gillespie’s wife and four children having recently returned to Australia, and with his future having been a regular source of speculation.
Martyn Moxon will not begin the search for a new head coach until the end of the current season Yorkshire CCC statement
Gillespie has been linked with a number of international coaching jobs during his five seasons in charge, and he already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers.
Yorkshire had hoped that he would stay for at least another year, but after the club lost to Surrey in the Royal London Cup semi-final yesterday, Gillespie communicated his decision to the Yorkshire board.
Yorkshire say they will start the search for a new head coach at the end of the season, who will work under director of cricket Martyn Moxon.
In a statement issued today, the club said: “Yorkshire County Cricket Club can confirm that Jason Gillespie will leave his position as head coach at the end of the 2016 season.

“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jason, who led Yorkshire from the Second Division to consecutive Championship titles, along the way suffering just five defeats in 76 Championship fixtures since his appointment in November 2011.
“His wife Anna and their four children have recently returned to Australia and, with the 41-year-old’s existing commitments to coaching the Adelaide Strikers in Australia’s Big Bash, Jason feels the close season is an appropriate time to part company.
“Martyn Moxon will not begin the search for a new head coach until the end of the current season, and the club will provide further updates when the time is appropriate.”
Gillespie has the chance to go out on a high, with the club well-placed to secure a hat-trick of Championships.

Not one but two new venues are now presenting live music both of them music fans' little secrets.
They are the Circle Bar at Harrogate Theatre and St.Robert’s Social club.
As for the latter, live acoustic nights are now being held at St Robert’s on alternate Thursdays from 8pm to 10.30 pm.
Run by Steve Carpenter who has played with all sorts of bands over the years, it's a nice space with good facilities.
The next acoustic night there takes place on Thursday, September 9.
As for the Circle Bar at Harrogate Theatre, but it’s always been one of Harrogate’s most beautiful bars but few readers would even know it exists – unless they happen to be regular theatre-goers.
That’s all about to change for the Circle Bar at Harrogate Theatre is about to offer a reason to pay it a visit irrespective of the theatre programme.
Starting in just over a week’s time. Circle Live will showcase local music talent once a month on a Saturday afternoon.
The opening music session under the gilded ceiling of the Circle Bar upstairs at Harrogate Theatre will take place from 3pm to 7pm on Saturday, September 10 with a line-up including four singer-songwriters – Martin Rose, Jonny Skinner, Andrew Cameron and Becky Bowe, the latter accompanied on keyboards by Charlie Smythe.
Circle Live is the brainchild of Harrogate Theatre’s marketing officer Rachel Auty who was inspired by the success of a similar venture which accompanied last year’s Harrogate Comedy Festival.
Rachel said: “I’m passionate about supporting local musicians, utilising the theatre’s most beautiful spaces and providing informal opportunities for people to come through our doors and enjoy this stunning 116-year-old building.”
As well as live music, Circle Live will offer Harrogate Theatre at its most chilled out with drinks offers, food, art and board games.
Future dates for Circle Live include: Saturday, October 8 (part of Harrogate Comedy Festival’s Big Weekend) and Saturday, November 12. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/new-live-music-venues-sessions-for-harrogate-1-8095372 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/42bc71021e8ef5228efc6ba642157d056d22615c9c391d3043ac96d43beaa1a6.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.ripongazette.co.uk/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.ripongazette.co.uk/a2f430435047dc48491bb59816d4289e08237af040b899b2ee3dda0fe24c9a8b.json |

Popular Yorkshire ceilidh band No Mean Feet will entertain the crowds on Sunday.
But the weekend event is about more than having fun. As befits the RHS, there is an element of education involved.
Families will be invited to roll up their sleeves and learn the art of juicing with Rachel Benson, an expert juicer from Old Sleningford Farm near Ripon.
If you have a glut of your own apples, bring them along and Rachel will show you how to create delicious-tasting juices using a traditional rack-and-cloth apple press.
She can also offer advice on turning apple juice into cider.
Deck chairs will be available on a first come-first served basis – perfect if you want to relax in a quiet corner or sit and watch the entertainment unfold in the garden.
There will also be a range of giant garden games for both young and old to enjoy – from Jenga to draughts, Connect 4 to snakes and ladders.
The festival runs from noon to 6pm on both days, with last entry at 5pm.
Any leftover beer will be available to buy in cartons at half price from 5pm on Sunday.
Normal garden admission prices will apply.

Lewis Haunch, from Leigh, in Greater Manchester, underwent emergency treatment in hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight yesterday.
Police were first alerted by staff from the festival at around 4.45pm on Saturday, August 27.
The boy had been taken to St James’ Hospital in Leeds by ambulance in a critical condition.
Today police said they had finished their initial questioning of two 17-year-old boys arrested in the Greater Manchester area on suspicion of drugs offences.
They have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Leeds Festival’s Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Keith Gilert, said: “Our thoughts are naturally with the family of the young man at this time. They were made aware of the incident by officers as soon as possible and were assisted to attend the hospital as quickly as possible. We will continue to support them through this difficult time.”
Investigations into Lewis’s death and how he got the drugs are ongoing.
Early enquiries have indicated that he took the drugs immediately before collapsing.
One festival-goer said she believed she saw the teenager as he was being treated by medics.
Hayley Briggs said: “It was right outside the guest area and the guy just looked in a very bad way.
“He was being cradled by one of the first aiders before the ambulance arrived.”
A report will be sent to the Coroner in due course, police said.
Mr Gilert added: “In partnership with the organisers, Festival Republic, we will continue to take action against those who risk the lives of others by supplying drugs.
“Anyone who has any concerns for either themselves or others at the Festival should contact Festival site or security staff or seek medical assistance.”

As well as the trompe l’oeil on walls and windows in the town centre, the allotment shows and the art exhibitions, live music seems to be bursting out everywhere you walk in Knaresborough.
And if you happen to come across a whole gaggle of town criers or mummers covered in black veils like something from the movie The Wicker Man, you’re not seeing things.
Chairperson for feva, Tony Cerexhe said: “The festival has been very successful so far with some performances selling out well in advance.
“The good weather has meant that the hugely popular Urban Beach at Henshaws has been a massive hit with children and parents alike.”
There have been many highlights in this year’s feva already such as the Bard of Bardsey Ian McMillan at Frazer Theatre last Friday.
But there is still plenty to look forward to this weekend in the final few days of feva festival.
So look out for the eight-piece swing jazz outfit Phil Lyons and the New Vintage Band at Frazer Theatre tonight, Friday, the annual Picnic in the Park in the grounds of Knaresborough House on Saturday with music from the likes of Two Tone Rust. Omega Era and Doghouse Doctors, Saturday Night Burlesque at Henshaw’s the same night, Cadenza and lunch at The Dower House on Sunday and the Song Birds live at Carriages the same day.
Finally, feva 2016 will come to and end with the Beach Party this Sunday, August 21 from 1pm to 8pm starring headliner David Live - the ultimate David Bowie tribute act.

Laugher finished in the final qualification place of 12 after rescuing his bid with a score of 77.40 in the last round.
North Yorkshire compatriot Oliver Dingley had fewer worries as he made history for his adopted nation Ireland by qualifying in eighth place.
However, Jamaica's Yona Knight-Wisdom bowed out of the competition in 14th placed, eight points behind City of Leeds teammate Laugher.
Like yesterday's preliminaries, China's Yuan Cao topped the leaderboard with an imperious total of 489.10 ahead of Mexican Rommel Pacheco.
The final will take place at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre from 10pm BST on Tuesday.
Laugher, who won 3m synchronised gold alongside Chris Mears last Wednesday, had been put in a precarious position heading into the final round after a disastrous fifth round.
The 21-year-old, who blanked a dive to bomb out of qualification four years ago, scored just 39.90 points for his forward four and a half somersaults.
However, he rescued his competition with 77;.40 with a back three and a half somersaults to total 389.40 and climb above Italian Michele Benedetti by two points.
Laugher's total was well down on his personal best of 560.40.
Dingley was a model of consistency throughout the competition and recorded 414.25 to become Ireland's first ever Olympic diving finalist.
Knight-Wisdom was unable to make a similar landmark for Jamaica as he messed up his second and third round dives, scoring 48.00 and 45.90 respectively.
The tall diver finished on 381.40 points from his six dives.

With Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals, Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy and Disclosure as headliners this weekend, the line-up at Bramham Park is possibly the biggest and best to date.
By all accounts, ticket sales are up on last year, with thousands of fans already flocking to the festival’s site at Bramham Park.
It’s also looking fairly bright in terms of the weather forecast for the three-day festival which runs from August 26-28.
As this newspaper went to press shows, festival-goers can expect to escape the rain most of the time and enjoy some sunshine at times over the next three days.
Tomorrow, Friday is expected to be bright all day, Saturday is set to be overcast with a good chance of rain, too, while the final day Sunday is forecast to be cloudy.
As for the line-up itself, other acts on the bill to look out for includ Chvrches, The Vaccines, Imagine Dragons, Jack Garratt, Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975, Crystal Castles, Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Wiley, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Yoda, Oliver Heldens, Courteeners and Maximo Park.
Leeds Festival boss Melvin Benn, said: “This year really is a big one for Reading and Leeds. Five headliners across three days – it’s a first for us and the UK Festival scene. We’re always looking to give Reading and Leeds fans something new and this year isn’t going to disappoint.
In terms of DJ-ing, progressive pop specialist, the super-talented Joe Mount of Metronomy, will be playing a special Metronomy Summer ‘08 DJ Set on the Saturday night as part of the now traditional ‘take over’ by Transgressive Records.
The Alternative Stage at Reading Festival on Friday will be a non-stop indie rock party with back to back DJ sets from rock’s finest including Peace vs Hinds, BBC Radio 1 favourite Huw Stephens vs Pulled Apart By Horses, Transgressive Sound System vs Rockfeedback DJs and a closing set by Jen Long vs Bless DJs. Specially commissioned live visuals will be provided throughout the night, as well as more surprise appearances.
Among a small number of up-and-coming local music acts to appear at the festival on the Lock Up stage tomorrow, Friday will be Leeds alt-rock Americana band Fighting Caravans, who headlined a Charm gig at Major Tom’s Social in Harrogate in May.
Appearing on the Jack Rocks This Feeling stage on Friday will be Leeds psych rock outfit The Chessmen who appeared in the Spirit of 66 multi-media event for Charm and RedHouse Originals at The Club in Harrogate last month.
Melvin Benn said: “We’re delighted to be giving these bands an opportunity that a lot of others have taken in the oast, including some bands that are playing this year. Two Door Cinema Club started here at Leeds Festival. It’s a real, real opportunity.”

Their witless chanting echoed around the stands in a manner that reflected poorly on Kent and their stewarding operation, such as it was.
Yorkshire's Liam Plunkett celebrates his caught and bowled of Kent's Will Gidman at The Spitfire Ground. Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
It is not known what prompted the abuse, or why Kent did nothing to eject these people.
Plunkett simply responded in the best way possible.
For a second year running, he produced a match-winning performance at the quarter-final stage, earning Yorkshire an 11-run win and a semi-final against Surrey at Headingley on August 28.
Last year, it was Essex who felt the force of Plunkett’s power in the quarter-finals, the all-rounder scoring an unbeaten 49 from 32 balls to lead them to an unlikely par total at Chelmsford.
Yorkshire's Adam Lyth led the way with the bat for Yorkshire at Kent on Thursday. Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
He followed that up with his side’s best figures of 3-58 as Yorkshire won by 20 runs.
Last night, after Yorkshire scored 256-9 from their 50 overs, Adam Lyth top-scoring with 88 and England vice-captain Joe Root contributing 45, Plunkett returned 4-52 from 10 overs in another decisive intervention.
He began with the wicket of Sam Northeast, caught at mid-wicket to end a dangerous stand of 50 with Joe Denly for the second wicket after David Willey trapped Daniel Bell-Drummond in the second over of Kent’s reply.
After Steve Patterson got Sam Billings lbw, Plunkett followed up by removing Denly, who skied to Willey in the mid-wicket region.
Darren Stevens, playing his 500th match for Kent, and Alex Blake added 86 in a fifth-wicket stand that looked to be putting the hosts on course for victory before Willey had Blake caught behind for 50.
But the key moment of the night came with the total on 180-5 in the 37th over when Plunkett produced a remarkable catch, diving one-handed to his left, to remove Stevens for 54 off his own bowling.
Plunkett took a simpler caught-and-bowled to dismiss Will Gidman before Adil Rashid and Willey closed out the match.
Victory kept Yorkshire on course for an historic treble of County Championship, Royal London Cup and NatWest T20 Blast and delighted their one-day captain, Alex Lees.
“We knew this was going to be a real tough game,” he said.
“Kent had a home quarter-final for a reason, and I thought Adam and Joe played brilliantly with the bat. We battled really hard to get a good score, and our bowling was exceptional. The match-winning performance was Liam’s. He was brilliant.”
Before a near-capacity crowd of 6,000, who watched in glorious weather, Lyth got Yorkshire off to a flier after the visitors lost the toss.
Lyth flicked former Yorkshire pace bowler Mitch Claydon to the mid-wicket boundary and square-drove his next ball to the backward-point rope.
He also lofted Claydon for six over long-off and Lees hammered him for a straight boundary before the captain was first out to the final ball of the fifth over.
Claydon dropped short and Lees pulled down the throat of Blake on the mid-wicket rope.
Lyth and Root ticked along in seemingly effortless manner, scoring at just under five an over without the hint of risk.
Root worked the ball around unfussily and it came as a surprise when he was second out with the score on 117 in the 24th over, the victim of another catch at deep mid-wicket by Blake, this time off Charlie Hartley.
Hartley, a 22-year-old right-arm pace bowler, was playing only his fourth List A game. He completed a notable double when he followed the wicket of Root with that of Bairstow, who went for nine when he chipped to Bell-Drummond at mid-on.
Lyth looked set for his third century in the competition but flirted at one outside off stump from Coles and was caught behind.
Yorkshire lost two wickets with the score on 191 in the 39th over, bowled by Will Gidman, when Tim Bresnan picked out cover and Willey was strangled for a golden duck.
Plunkett sliced Coles to cover, Gary Ballance was run-out for 37 after a mix-up with Rashid when considering a third run, and Azeem Rafiq was bowled by Coles, who ended with 3-39.
Rashid hit a six and a four in the last over, bowled by Claydon, as Yorkshire achieved an advance of four on the total of 252-9 they made in last year’s quarter-final.
Even after Stevens’s departure, Yorkshire could never feel that they had the match won.
Coles swung productively before being smartly stumped by Bairstow off Rashid, who took the ninth wicket to have Hartley lbw.
Willey ended things by pinning James Tredwell, much to the frustration of the individuals beneath the lime tree. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/liam-plunkett-silences-abusive-spectators-by-leading-yorkshire-to-royal-london-semi-finals-1-8077697 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/1eb509c223675858bbd4120214b731d5970c58bb8fb8a29fdbefc79663573b11.json |

The award-winning Yorkshire Meatball Co, the UK’s first specialty meatball and craft beer bar, conducted the work as part of its plans for growth after a recent successful crowdfunding campaign..
The plans will see the business broadening its restaurant concept, to a more relaxed, casual bar offering.
The restaurant was closed for most of last week as part of a major refurbishment.
Co-owner David Atkinson said: “Whilst healthy competition is always welcome, the huge number of high street names coming to the local area cannot be ignored.
“What these restaurants bring with them is a sharp peak in wages, particularly for chefs, and this is something that small independents, like us, can struggle to compete with.
“As a result, it’s important that independent sites like ourselves are proactive in ensuring their concepts remain commercially viable, in what is an increasingly challenging employment environment.”
Since it launched its first site in Harrogate two years ago at Station Bridge, the father and son team have been eager to develop its concept to provide a broader offer for its customers.
The changes will focus on a more concise menu, with the emphasis on the brand’s signature dish, “The Combo”, and will expand it’s already extensive craft beer offering, which is seen as an equally integral part of the concept.
The interior layout will also change to create a more relaxed, casual atmosphere, with the addition of bar seating zones and a move away from formal, laid-up dining tables.
The Yorkshire Meatball Co. has also commenced detailed planning for its outdoor beer terrace, increasing capacity to 80-covers across the site.
Co-owner Gareth Atkinson, said: “It’s an exciting time. We have listened to what our diners love about our offer and enhanced this further to refine and re-focus the concept.
“Trends are changing. We’re seeing increasing demand for a relaxed, sociable and personal atmosphere, where customers are just as likely to pop in for a craft beer and end up staying to enjoy some hearty, no-fuss food, as they are to visit us for a two or three course meal.”
The company is also in final-stage talks to launch a range of premium-branded, gourmet meatball products through supermarkets nationwide later this year.
Yorkshire Meatball Co has also linked up with successful music promoters Ont’ Sofa for a series of Sunday evening chill out music sessions with local up-and-coming musicians. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/major-changes-as-harrogate-indie-bar-restaurant-reopens-1-8033801 | en | 2016-07-26T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/c9d449a6513f4683a7d29bcf5ab8f65bbd0c4caf3f45dea37098b782744a6d6a.json |

JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.

It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.

Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/video-chris-waters-time-is-right-for-jason-gillespie-to-bid-farewell-to-yorkshire-ccc-1-8094958 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/593b130eb6f98450715d0aca86d0974a69fa367bca679c0d8f3d4129fdbb1a5e.json |

Knowing a victory was needed to keep pace at the top of the table in what was their game in hand on their main title rivals, the White Rose county backed up Gary Ballance’s decision not to follow-on on Wednesday by securing the win early in the afternoon session.

They needed just 34.3 overs to claim the final seven wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 146 chasing 452 to win and leave their own hopes of survival in Division One hanging in the balance.
They remain rooted bottom to the bottom of the table with three matches to play while Yorkshire stay second and well in the hunt for a third successive Championship title.
Despite heavy rain for much of the evening on the east coast, play got under way on time thanks in no part to the decision to transport the club’s ‘Blotter’ from Headingley to North Marine Road in the early hours of the morning.
The machine spent two hours drying the outfield, and Tim Bresnan was soon reaping the rewards as he had Tom Moores (41) caught by Adam Lyth at second slip from just the fourth ball of the morning.
Having taken two wickets in an over on the previous day, Bresnan continued his fine form with the ball, with Samit Patel the next to succumb to the England all-rounder as he feathered an edge through to wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Notts captain Chris Read fared little better as Bresnan picked up his fifth wicket, Jake Lehman the catcher at fourth slip, but Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton were able to forge a partnership to see Notts through to lunch.
The pair added 47 for the seventh wicket, but just three balls after the interval they were parted as Ryan Sidebottom found Hutton’s outside edge and Hodd took the simplest of catches.
That sparked a lower order collapse, as Brendan Taylor (38) pushed a wide ball from Jack Brooks to Alex Lees at cover and Luke Fletcher was bowled from the very next ball to leave Notts on the brink of defeat.
Imran Tahir was able to survive the hat-trick delivery, but he faced just three more deliveries before fending Brooks off to Lees at short-leg as the final four wickets fell in just three-and-a-half overs after lunch.
Bresnan finished with career best figures of 5-36 and his best in any first-class match across the two innings of eight for 51. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-day-four-tim-bresnan-s-career-best-return-in-white-rose-victory-1-8083613 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/208328fc4e4e30028b5f9528954ff00f095658a3cbfc8e3c8665eaa4210dd81b.json |

A century for man-of-the-match Steven Davies and 90 from Ben Foakes left Yorkshire Vikings chasing a 256 target and although they recovered well after Meaker’s dramatic intervention, thanks to a brave 68 from Tim Bresnan, the task was just beyond them and they were bowled out for 236 to lose by 19 runs with seven balls remaining.

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.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan (second left) is congratulated by Jack Brooks (second right) and Jonny Bairstow (right) after taking the wicket of Surrey's Kumar Sangakkara. Picture by Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
“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.

Rhodes hesitated slightly before setting off and it proved costly

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.

But few ‘unsigned’ British singers have gone across to work with a Grammy Award-winner.
Harrogate’s Holly Rose Webber has returned after recording several tracks with top producer Ray Kennedy, a man who has truly done it all.
Holly said: “I’ve never worked to hard in my life but it was worth every second.
“Nashville was so fantastic. I had the best time. It was really full-on. I didn’t leave the studio the whole time I was there.”
Holly travelled to Nashville with her musician father Roy, her musical mentor Frank Mizen, my mentor, her regular producer Dan Mizen and Jake Peppiate, a talented camera man and director who was making a film of the trip.
It proved to be a busy week as Ray passed on some of his wisdom and put Holly through her paces with the cream of Nashville’s musicians.
Holly said: “We had seven days to record a five-track EP which we did successfully and the songs sound great.
“Ray records using the most incredible vintage equipment in order to capture a real and pure sound.
“All the takes were done live as he doesn’t believe in auto tune but, in doing so, he really captured the emotion and live feel.
“He also really understands the art of songwriting. He’s a perfectionist, He’s been inspirational to me.”
Ray himself has been impressed with heartfelt singer-songwriter Holly.
Ray said: “Holly Rose Webber is a very strong willed and powerful singer. She has a distinctive sound and pours loads of emotion into her songs that come from real life experiences. I know Holly will be a successful because she has the talent, the passion and an amazing desire to be a significant recording artist and entertainer.”
All has gone so well, in fact, that Holly has been invited back to Nashville to work again with Ray.
She is currently working on her second album at Warehouse Recording Studio in Harrogate. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-singer-holly-wows-nashville-legend-1-8081580 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/1e60994d078f8f02b75e4d3ff44c36d795e41587f4d9587c3797669bb80fbd60.json |

Children's books have already moved upstairs as part of the rejig but there is a question mark over where the non-fiction back catalogue is going.
Fears that the new cafe will reduce the space for books overall have been eased by a reader who posted the Harrogate Advertiser Facebook page.
The reader said Harrogate Waterstones is also opening up the third floor as part of the redevelopment, so there will be plenty of room for the books.
The official launch of the new-look Waterstone Harrogate will take place in just over a week's time.

The good news is that a brand new modern bar The Last Post is rising from the ashes of The Slip Inn with craft beer and cocktails.
Once described by online pub guide www.whatpub.com as a "traditional old boozer", The Slip Inn stood on Cold Bath Road for at least 30 years, quietly doing business in the days of the Adelphi Hotel up the road - before that was turned into elderly residential apartments.
Famed for its 1970s-style decor and furniture and love of darts, The Slip's well-used dart board has finally been put away.
Instead, a new bar called The Last Post Social House will be launched tomorrow, Friday.
Already successful in Ripponden where the Social House has been a huge hit since it was opened in 2008, the Last Post brand was the brainchild of Lee Roberts, Adrian Burr and Sarah Stuttle who has previously been responsible for successful foodie in West Vale and Holmfirth.
Their new Harrogate venture is drinks-orientated.
A spokesman said: "We see a huge potential for The Last Post. People just want a great place to have a drink and be social.
"It's cocktails and champagne for the ladies and tasty beers for the gents."
The new Last Post on Cold Bath Road will also be offering live football screenings, quiz nights and occasional live music.
Among the drinks on its 'menu' will be Amstel, Erdinger, Guinness, Goose Island IPA, Punk IPA, Theakstons Best, various ciders and more. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-s-slip-inn-pub-replaced-with-a-new-modern-bar-1-8079096 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/45829fb8b1314fcf39bac352af4b41c895a1b8fd78e32c85eda456d91008a922.json |

The award-winning Yorkshire Meatball Co, the UK’s first specialty meatball and craft beer bar, have revealed their initial plans since their successful £100,000 crowdfunding campaign.
The plans will see the business broadening its restaurant concept, to a more relaxed, casual bar offering.
The restaurant has been closed this week as part of a major refurbishment.
Co-owner David Atkinson said: “Whilst healthy competition is always welcome, the huge number of high street names coming to the local area cannot be ignored.
"What these restaurants bring with them is a sharp peak in wages, particularly for chefs, and this is something that small independents, like us, can struggle to compete with.
"As a result, it’s important that independent sites like ourselves are proactive in ensuring their concepts remain commercially viable, in what is an increasingly challenging employment environment.”
Since it launched its first site in Harrogate two years ago at Station Bridge, the father and son team have been eager to develop its concept to provide a broader offer for its customers.
The changes will focus on a more concise menu, with the emphasis on the brand’s signature dish, “The Combo”, and will expand it’s already extensive craft beer offering, which is seen as an equally integral part of the concept.
The interior layout will also change to create a more relaxed, casual atmosphere, with the addition of bar seating zones and a move away from formal, laid-up dining tables.
The Yorkshire Meatball Co. has also commenced detailed planning for its outdoor beer terrace, increasing capacity to 80-covers across the site.
Co-owner Gareth Atkinson, said: “It’s an exciting time. We have listened to what our diners love about our offer and enhanced this further to refine and re-focus the concept.
"Trends are changing. We’re seeing increasing demand for a relaxed, sociable and personal atmosphere, where customers are just as likely to pop in for a craft beer and end up staying to enjoy some hearty, no-fuss food, as they are to visit us for a relaxed two or three course meal”
The company is also in final-stage talks to launch a range of premium-branded, gourmet meatball products through supermarkets nationwide in Q4 2016. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/harrogate-indie-restaurant-in-fightback-against-chains-1-8017349 | en | 2016-07-15T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/6a9b9758c13a536ecd3c44dac892a29f473077a6c2f043603b2d14e2b1d02d91.json |

Amanda Walker has received an apology from Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust –half a decade on.

The consequences of a mask being forcefully put on her face prior to the operation and causing the injury contributed to the break down of her marriage and her being unable to return to her work in PR and advertising.
She endured four corrective operations and had a titanium plated prosthetic jaw inserted which had been made bespoke in America.
Now the case has been resolved, Amanda of Knaresborough, is looking to the future with her 11 year-old son, and plans to open her own tanning business.
She said: “I am smiling again and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. When my solicitor told me I had won I think I was in shock.
“It has been in my life for five years this battle and all of a sudden it is over and you think, ‘what do I do now?’”
In December 2010 Amanda at almost 12 weeks pregnant went for a scan. Within minutes she learned she was expecting twins and the heartbeats of both babies had stopped.
She was booked in for a routine procedure at Harrogate District Hospital to remove the foetuses but when she woke she was in pain and discomfort on the right side of her face and struggled to open her mouth.
She recalled: “I went from elation to sadness. It was not the first miscarriage I’d had so it was a very traumatic time.
“I was in pain emotionally and physically and I was overwhelmed with everything but when I woke up I knew something was wrong.”
The Trust maintained the pain was caused by a condition Amanda had experienced over 10 years ago but medical experts hired by Leeds-based lawyers for Irwin Mitchell proved otherwise. She said: “The Trust put a lot of obstacles in my way and made it quite awkward but I thought I am going to persevere – I had come too far to give up.”
Dr David Scullion, Medical Director, said: “The Trust is pleased an agreement has been reached. We have apologised to Ms Walker for the impact this injury has had on her. We conducted an investigation into Ms Walker’s care with us in 2010 and want to give assurance that we have learned all we can from this incident.”

Laugher, from Ripon, almost missed out on a place in the final after an error-strewn display in the semi-finals.
But the 21-year-old produced a flawless performance throughout the final at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre and totalled 523.85 points over the six rounds.
China's Cao Yuan was a dominant force at the top of the leaderboard and won gold by 24 points on 547.60.
Yuan only dropped under the coveted 90-point mark twice in the competition, while Laugher had three dives over the mark.
Germany's Patrick Hausding took the final place on the 498.90.

Laugher's silver adds to the gold he won alongside Chris Mears in the 3m synchronised event last Wednesday and makes him Britain's most succesful diver in history.
Harrogate-born diver Oliver Dingley was a surprise package in the early stage but dropped down to eighth-place on 442.90.
Dingley was competing in his first Olympic final for adopted nation Ireland, whom he qualifies through his grandmother.
Both Dingley and Laugher dived together as juniors in Harrogate before the former moved to Plymouth.
Jack Laugher scored 523.80 to finish behind Cao Yuan of China (PA)
Laugher crashed out of in the 3m springboard event four years ago in London when he slipped off the board in qualification.
Once again, the City of Leeds diving club member struggled in the opening rounds and only qualified for the final in 12th place out of 12 qualifiers.
That meant he was forced to dive first in the final but he set an early marker with scores of 81.60, 91.00 and 90.10 in the final.
A 76.05 in the four round was his worst dive of six but he recovered with his best in round five to nail a 3.8 degree of difficulty forward four and a half somersaults and 96.90 points came his way.
That meant he needed just 60 points in the final round to bag a medal and he scored 88.20 to put the silver beyond Patrick Hausding.
China's Yuan held off the Brit, however, and won gold with a perfect final dive, scoring 96.90.
Laugher told BBC Sport: "It's been a mixed experience.
"My prelim was a bit nervy and the semi was even worse - my worst in three years. But to come away and turn it around, I'm really pleased." | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/more-sport/rio-2016-olympics-golden-boy-jack-laugher-shines-with-diving-silver-in-3m-springboard-1-8072799 | en | 2016-08-16T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/8589400876c886865f80b0f59d4c253be53de23c57b561681b1bce282c11478a.json |

Harrogate and Rural District Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) say although its NHS funding has not been cut, the rise in demand for health services and increasing costs is “outstripping” the money available for services.
The pressures of a growing and ageing population has caused a “significant increase” in demand for all types of local health services against a fixed NHS budget, the CCG said.
Plans are already in place to plug the £8.4m shortfall for the next financial year, 2016/17, but with costs continuing to rise, it is preparing further ways in which it can bridge the budget gap, including proposals to stop providing ‘over the counter’ medicines like paracetamol, which last year cost the NHS locally £260,000 to prescribe. Paracetamol and other painkillers are widely available in supermarkets and at local chemists and cost around 1p per tablet, compared to 3p per tablet on the NHS, the CCG said.
Governing body member at the CCG, Rick Sweeney, said: “As an organisation we have a number of difficult choices to make about what is affordable for the whole of our local population against an ever increasing demand for access to health services.
“We are reviewing all areas of spend including the services we purchase, the medicines prescribed, outpatient appointments and operations.
“Getting medicine on prescription costs much more than buying over the counter due to the time doctors and local pharmacists take when dealing with appointments, handling prescriptions and dispensing medication. Last year, over 3m items were prescribed to patients across Harrogate and the rural district at a cost of over £25m.”
Examples of increased demand on health services across Harrogate include a 2.7 per cent increase in the number of people attending A&E in the same three month period of April to June from 2015 to 2016 - equating to an additional £125,000 cost not planned for.
The same comparative period also saw a 14 per cent increase in the number of knee procedures at an additional cost of £160,000.
Chief officer at the CCG, Amanda Bloor, appealed directly to residents of the Harrogate district to “play their part” in addressing the challenge.
She said: “Like many neighbouring CCGs across North Yorkshire, we are facing unprecedented challenges as demand from an ageing and growing population increases.
“It is important that everyone using the NHS appreciates the pressures it faces through growing demand and cost and takes responsibility for using it most effectively so we can help secure high quality local health services.
“The CCG is working to identify as many efficiency savings as it can. This will mean a renewed focus on self-care and healthy lifestyle choices by individuals and may include reduction or withdrawal of certain services that do not improve outcomes.
“Everyone is aware that public services and specifically the NHS are under significant pressure, and I would encourage local people to help the CCG ensure we can continue to deliver the services needed for local people within the budget we are given from Government.
“We will be working closely with our partners including Healthwatch North Yorkshire to determine how we can secure services within the funding available.”

Hargeysa,May 8,2016(SL-Times)-The Somaliland National Electoral Commission has come under fire for not conducting an effective education program on voter registeration to avert the continuos low turn out in Maroodi Jeex region for the voter registeration exercise which was kickstarted in Hargeysa on April 30. In a short statement made by NEC 3 days ago, the electoral agency responded to criticism by saying it didn’t understand the reasons behind the sluggish voter registeration turn out in the most populous region in Somaliland. The first phase of this country-wide voter registration drive was launched on January 16,2016 and has since covered the regions of Togdheer,Awdal and Sahil in addition to Gabilay and Bali-Gubadle districts expecting to target an estimated 1,200,000 eligible voters ,a third of which is believed to live in Maroodi-jeex.However after the first week since the regisyeration began in Maroodi -jeex,the results have not been encouraging.Although NEC is an untransparent organisation which shields itself from the media and does not reveal data,however according to party officials and press reports barely 10% of the target population have until now showed up at the registeration points.Observers have actually voiced concern that if this trend continues only an estimated 50% is expected to register by the end of the Maroodi-jeex campaign at the end of this month. The bulk of the unregisterd voters who failed to show up in acceptable numbers are the youth of both sexes who used to account for over 60% of people who actually vote during elections.Disenchantment with the incumbent government’s prformance in the last 5 years as well as with leaders of political parties is also cited as another factor in the low turn out in the capital Hargeysa,home to around 70% of the region’s population. Several media outlets have criticized NEC for not being creative enough to deliver education messages targeting eligible voters particularly the youth.The example frequently mentioned os that there has been no single youth event whether sports or cultural that has been organised to attract and motivate eligible voters especially young adults to register.

Hargeysa,April 4,2016(SL-Times)-The topic of who really calls the shots in Somaliland’s Presidency has been around for most of the time since president Silanyo took power in mid 2010.Not any more .For these days the favorite question does have an answer : it’s Silanyo’s spouse Amina Waris who is in charge of state affairs in Somaliland.In fact the first lady has been running the country much earlier than has been thought. As the president’s health deteriorated just before or immediately after he had been elected,Amina Waris was no longer comfortable with confining herself to the traditional housewifing of an aging and ailing husband.But Silanyo selected as his chief of staff a man in his early forties by the name of Hirsi Haji Ali .And in the months that followed the inauguration it became one of the more noticeable features of the new administration to see Hersi frequently filling in for the president while the latter was required to rest at home .Hersi who previously worked in the telecomunication sector and later became a Kulmiye party activist has proved to be a dynamic and chirsmatic functionary with a no nonsense managerial style.He not only handled the enormous burden of discharging the duties of the president remarkably well but seemingly also enjoyed his new status.But as time went by,Amina Waris grew ambitious; first demanding that Hersi consult with her before taking decisions about certain matters then gradually usurping the duties and resposibilities of the president.She also began to empower her son-in-law Bashe Awil.Although he didn’t hold an official title ,never-the-less,his initial assignment was to surppress the local media to stifle criticism of the government by resorting to bribes or outright intimidation.After the country’s most critical media outlets were either shut down or coaxed into silence,Bashe Awil was given the extra job of representing the goverenment(the first lady)in any business negotiations.Recently he has been bestowed with the official title of Somaliland’s representative in the United Arab Emerates though he doesn’t speak a word of Arabic. By end of 2013 Amina Waris was the one naming or firing cabinet ministers as well as senior and junior civil servants.The first lady ran the government from her residence on the 2nd floor of the presidency building.Ministers,civil servants,business men Sultans and even Wadaads would take the stairs to see her if they wanted any thing done.Lately even visiting Turkish officials who were lobbying for resumption of Somaliland-Somalia talks in Ankara had to meet with her first. The mòment ay official’s days at government became numbered was when he or she fell out of favour with the first lady as demonstrated by last week’s dismissal from the cabinet of the minister of Telecommunication Mohamad Jama Abgal and the commander of the Coastal Guards Mohamad Hussein Hirane.Mr Abgal was sacked because he refused to rescind a licence approval he had given to a consortium of telcom operators/carriers from Somaliland ,Puntland and Ethiopia for the installation of a new fibre optic cable to be pulled from Oman by an Omani company.Apparently the minister had to issue the license in question after the presidency gave its nod of approval for the project.But following a strong protest from Mohamad Aw Saeed ,the owner of Somcable which has been operating a partially functioning fibre optic cable of its own,the first lady intervened instructing Mr Abgal to declare the new fibre optic cable deal null and void. Coastal Guards commander Hirane lost his job after refusing to arrest a ship that was carrying out a pre-installation survey for the pproposed new fibre optic cable .It wasn’t possible to verify wide spread rumors that Abgal and Hirane had to do what they have done for money. Amina Waris experienced her biggest shock since ascending the throne when in October last year Hersi and at least 12 other senior goverment officials ,including the country’s Foreign minister Mohamad Bihi Yoonis,submitted their resignations.The mass resignations were prompted by the first lady’s selection of Musa Bihi over Mahamed Yoonis as the presidential candidate of the Kulmiye party in the upcoming elections.Although Amina Waris had in the past cultivated her own band of cabinet ministers including Mahmoud Hashi Abdi who before replacing Hersi in November served as minister of Aviation and Huussein Duale who as the minister responsible for granting oil and minerals concessions has enjoyed the protection of both Amina Waris and Bashe Awil,however these figures proved no match for Hersi’s group which comprised the administration’s most capable ministers and veteran political operatives.Despite being politically battered, Amina Waris stayed at the helm.Now 6 months later the Somaliland government seems to be in total disarry while submerged in corruption. As Chairman of the SNM for slightly over 5 years Silanyo proved to be politically a disasterous leader.Yet he was a power maniac who clung to the chairmanship until he was denied re-election by SNM’s rank and file at a 1990 convention.Mr Silanyo was understood to have considered stepping down at a much earlier stage as Somaliland’s president but was reportedly denied ftom doing so by his own wife.Now he will unfortunately leave behind a legacy tainted with among other things greed, corruption, and incompetence regardless of the fact that it was’t really him who called the shots at the Somaliland presidency during his tenure in office.

Hargeysa,April 29,2016(SL-Times)-The death of over 150 young Somalilanders earlier this month in the Mediterranean sea after the boat in which they were travelling capsized has brought fourth an outpouring of grieve across this nation of 4 millions but the loss has also unleashed a flood of criticism and condemnation directed at president Ahmed Silanyo’s government for failing to tackle the conditions that force thousands of the country’s youth every year to leave their homes to seek better prospects in western Europe at the expense of risking their lives whilst making the dangerous crossing of the high seas to that continent.The boat which was crammed with over 500 regugees and migrants mostly from the Horn of Africa region had apparently departed from some where at the north African coast in between Libya and Egypt on around April 23,2016.The tragedy happened as the vessel was heading for Italy.However in Somaliland itself the news of the incident started to trickle only about 5 days later when Facebook postings by some of the victims’ relatives and friends were shared. As the local media scrambled to fill the news coverage gap ,Somaliland became overwhelmed by shock and grieve.On April 18, president Silanyo made a puplic statement in which he expressed his condolences to the families of the young Somalilanders who lost their lives in the sinking while calling for a national conference on the issue of youth emigration and human trafficking.A few days later vice-president Abdirahaman Saylici announced boastfully that the government was forming a new police unit to combat human trafficking activities in the country.But neither the president’s expression of sympathy to the bereaved over the tragic loss nor Mr Saylici’s promise to crack down on human traffickers who smuggle young Somalilanders across borders all the way to Europe has been sufficient enough to silence the public outcry trigerred by the so many young lives claimed by the cruel sea. In local media interviews ,families of the victims were harshly critical of Mr Silanyo for doing nothing to address the the massive unemployment among the youth which most people see as the main reason why many young adults have for years in a row been pushed to leave their homeland in pursuit of better opprtunities elsewhere.Among the many people supporting this view is Amina Wais who has not yet fully recovered from grieve after losing a son in a similar drowning incident off the Linyan coast in 2015.”My child would have remained here in Hargeysa had he been able to find a job but since he couldn’t he had to leave despite my cries for him to stay” she said. The majority of those who perished in this month’s sinking were graduates of universities and colleges.Many of the neighbourhood and school friends they left behind have cited the government’s epedemic corruption and nepotism practices as another critical contributing factor for the desperation driving many unemployed young women and men to life threathening emigration to Europe . “There is no doubt that they decide to leave out of despair and anger specially when they see government jobs and contracts given to the relatives of those in power and the meagre public resources are blundered instead of being used for funding youth employment programs if not for the common good” said Khader Hussein whose school mate was among the Somalilanders who drowned in the southern Mideterranean sea earlier this month.In fact among youth circles ,it is not difficult to notice the special resentment felt toward the First Lady Amina Waris and her son-in-law Bashe Awil for their preference for appionting friends from the UK Somaliland diasporra in both senior and junior govrnment jobs despite lacking minimum qualifications.Mohamed Omer ,28,who doesn’t conceal the fact that he will soon leave in the hope of making it to Europe explained the demoralizing effects of government corruption on the unemployed university graduates seeking jobs”one graduates and starts looking for a particular job in the civil service only to see it given to some one without merit who probably spent most of his adult life on social benefits abroad, then you try to get funding for this wonderful business idea only to eventually give it up because there are no commercial banks in the country to lend you the start up money… so on and on… until you end up with no other option except to either join Al-Shabaab or take the risk of crossing the Medterranean in an unseaworthy boat and I ‘ve chosen to try the latter”. Despite Somaliland’s substantial livestock,fisheries and minerals resorces,yet the potentiality of its local economy to grow fast enough so as to produce an acceptable level of growth in jobs has been constrained by the country’s lack of own commercial banking services and international deplomatic recognition as well.The introduction of commercial banking in the country has been opposed successfully by an unholy alliance between some government officials,Wahabist clerks and business tycoons.In fact as Mohamed Omer pointed out many viable business ideas keep not seeing the light of the day due to lack of financing.Also Somaliland has been unable to take on labour intensive projects for the development of its economic infrastructure and services such as roads and ports since its both public and private sectors are desciminated against borrowing from international financial institutions due to the stigmized status of belonging to a diplomatically unrecognized country. So far the incompetent Silanyo government has not come up with any long term concrete proposals for addressing the youth exodus from the country.On the contrary ,most goverment officials and supporters of Silanyo’s Kulmiye party who spoke about the issue tended to put the blame on the drowned victims for risking their lives and their parents for financing their travel.The divided opposition tried to capitalize on the public dismay but had nothing to offer( in terms of dealing with the challenges posed by the risky emigration of young Somalilanders ) except Absentia funeral prayer known as Salaatul Gha’ib whis is performed when a Muslim dies in a location where there are no Muslims to pray for him or her.While some of the country’s Islamic clerks declared that risking one’s life was a sin tantamount to suicid which according to Islamic theology is punishable in hell,Al-Shabaab jihadists spokesman Ali Mahmoud Raghe said that his movement was saddened by the death of hundreds of young Somalis at sea. The one thing that remains clear though is that Somaliland will not be able to tackle the youth emigration crisis unless the socio-economic,governance and diplomatic factors causing this phenomena are addressed both locally and internationally.

HARGEISA (Somalilandtimes.net) In democratic countries elected public officials who practice favourtism usually try to do it as much covert as would be possible.None of them would be foolish enough to openly show their partiality to friends or cronies.But not president Siilaanyo .He doesn’t feel ashamed of but rather enjoys confering favours on members of his immediate family or distant relatives publicly. He seems to have lost all self-respect, With nepotism and cronyism being accepted as a fact of life in the sphere of government , Somaliland is languishing in the hands of a leader who has no moral self-integrity.If you think this is an exaggerated accusation, a pesonal attack or unfair opinion of the president,just read else where in this website about how his two sons in law scandalously abuse the office of the president in a routine manner to further their own personal interests,not to mention the protection given to the minister of Minerals to be able to divert millions of dollars from state coffers while Somalilanders affected by the worst drought in decades are dying from thirst and hunger This Article Was Published On March 17,2016 By Our Sister Website www.haatuf.net Click here to see the original version.

It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on.
I don’t know whether you have ever seen a map of a person’s mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child’s mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still. | http://www.elsur.mx/finance-news-you-need-to-know-today/ | en | 2015-06-08T00:00:00 | www.elsur.mx/0c920d3f794cd409e0d69c5389523c295b9f167873f10f450237b98e273c7559.json |

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.
Lucky people make effective decisions by listening to their intuition and gut feelings. In addition, they take steps to actively boost their intuitive abilities by, for example, meditating and clearing their mind of other thoughts.
