Save
Nearly two weeks are in the books in Copperas Cove Independent School District, and things look slightly different than years past.
In an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus within its ranks and keep its students and staff healthy, the district has implemented numerous changes, including masks, scheduled hand-washing and all activities being done inside the classroom.
When class began Aug. 18, more parents had opted for their children to learn on campus, district spokeswoman Wendy Sledd said, speaking outside of House Creek Elementary School. Beginning in July, the parents had the choice of sending their children to campus to learn or to do virtual learning.
For those having class on campus, all students are required to wear a face covering at all times, except when eating or drinking water, according to the districts back to school plan located on its website.
Students are also required to use hand sanitizer upon entering a school building and every two hours throughout the day at a minimum.
Activities such as lunch, music, art and physical education are conducted inside the classroom.
Campuses may ask PE and music teachers to directly visit the classroom to provide instruction to students, the district said in a FAQ section. PE classes will be conducted outdoors whenever possible.
Prior to entering the building on the first school day of every week, students must show that they or their parents completed a health screening.
The screening, which is available on the online enrollment portal called Skyward, asks if the student has experienced symptoms of the coronavirus in the past 24 hours or had exposure to someone who has tested positive.
If a student or staff member answers yes to any question on the screening, they will be required to have a test done. If they test positive, they will have to recover before being allowed to return.
The district will immediately notify parents of students who may have been in contact with that student or teacher.
If a campus is temporarily closed, students will transition to at-home learning, the district said in a FAQ section about on-campus learning.
At-home learning
Students who opted for at-home learning are accessing much of the information they need through the learning management system called Schoology.
Students are able to connect with their teachers when they access the video-based, teacher-led instruction, but the expectations are the same as for those learning on campus.
Daily student participation in the learning activities will be required, the district said on its website.
Teachers are available from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily to assist at-home learners, the district said in a FAQ section about at-home learning.
At-Home instruction will mirror the On-Campus Learning model and the district scope and sequence, the district said.
Grab and go lunch and breakfast is open for all at-home learners. When a parent or child picks up lunch, they will also receive breakfast for the next day.
For a list of locations and times for grab and go meal service for at-home learners, go to http://bit.ly/CCISDlunch
Pre-K changes
The district also made changes at the Mae Stevens Early Learning Academy which houses all of the pre-K students. According to Sledd, the 4-year-old students are now being taught for a full day, as opposed to half of a day.
Other changes were made at Mae Stevens to adapt to social distancing requirements.
The library is now on the gymnasium stage, and the former library was converted into two classrooms. The employee lounge was converted into an employee workroom after the original workroom was converted to a classroom. Staff from two office areas in the building were relocated after their office space was converted into classrooms.

Work continued in 2020 on a rebuild of Clear View High School.
4
4
The Clear View High School project is preserving the schools art deco faade.
In 2020, response to the coronavirus pandemic was foremost On Clear Creek ISD officials minds.
The rapid spread of the coronavirus touched all aspects of life for the districts families, prompting Clear Creek to shift to remote learning for a time for all of its 42,000 students and then to
phase into
the current approach in which some kids attend on campus and some choose to continue online.
The district also sought to address non-academic needs of students, providing thousands of drive-through meals for kids after campuses were closed in the spring.
But throughout the changes, the districts building program has moved forward on pace.
The end of the year also brought changes such as the hiring of Eric Williams as new superintendent to fill a spot long held by retiring Greg Smith.
Continual changes
authorized purchase
of 12,000 HP ProBook X360 computers at a total cost of $4.6 million to cover gaps in kindergarten through third grade after administrators discovered that many students did not have access to a computer.
Many of our families were trying to use cell phones to engage with (the districts online learning) platforms, and were having problems, Holly Hughes, who oversees elementary education in the district, said at the time.
The districts approach to instruction evolved throughout the year. On Nov. 2, for example, the district changed course after initially offering only face-to-face instruction to 4-year-old prekindergarten students and seeing enrollment decline.
We do believe that, for pre-K4, face to face is the best way to learn, but the reality is that many families still dont feel comfortable (sending their kids to campus), and we realized we needed to pivot, said Elaina Polsen, CCISDs chief communications officer.
The move resulted in 37 more pre-K4 students enrolling for instruction rather than sitting out school, perhaps for the entire year. Polsen said students taking advantage of online learning are those who had attended pre-K classes for 3-year-olds in the district but had not initially returned for pre-K4 and were perhaps being delayed by their parents until kindergarten.
Now pre-K4 youths are engaged in asynchronous lessons with a focus on social-emotional skills, math, science, social studies, pre-reading and writing skills, phonics awareness and knowledge of the alphabet.
District officials hope more pre-K4 children will attend face-to-face classes in the spring, which seems likely to happen. Polsen said the district counted 733 on-campus preK pupils at the beginning of school in September as compared to 832 now.
Construction projects remain on track
Paul Miller, the districts director of facilities, said work on two major bond projects continued in 2020, including the $45 million rebuild of Clear View High School and a major renovation to Ed White Elementary School, a $16 million investment.
When completed next December, Clear View will have enhanced capacity; additionally, the school will offer a welding program. Now students there can study in a certified nursing program as well as cosmetology.
The school building first opened in 1938 as Webster High School, and the district is committed to preserving and reusing the buildings art deco entrance in the final design.
Improvements at While Elementary, which was built in the 1960s, include additional space as well as a major facilities upgrade. The school also will house a lab focused on science, technology, engineering and math when its finished in December 2021.
This year also saw completion of a $16 million renovation and expansion of Clear Lake City Elementary School in February.
Miller said 2020 also was the year Clear Creek ISD wrapped up a 1-year project to upgrade safety elements on all campuses.
Thats a bright spot, he said.
The improvements came from recommendations made by the School Safety Committee, a group formed in 2018 after the school shooting in nearby Sante Fe. The committee included parents, students, faith leaders, teachers and staff, law enforcement officers and mental health professionals.
Following the report, the district was able to upgrade its safety measures including upgraded doors, a better camera system and safety vestibules at high schools. To read more about safety upgrades, visit https://bityl.co/4vVD
New trustee and superintendent
In an election that was delayed from May to November because of the pandemic, Michelle Davis was elected to District 2 on the school board, defeating incumbent Win Weber.
Incoming Superintendent Eric Williams, who has led the Loundoun County Public Schools in Virginia, was hired to replace Smith. After Williams was named as the sole finalist for the job on Nov. 9, a vocal group of parents from his current school district created a social media uproar that sparked concern among some Clear Creek ISD parents.
In meetings with district parents,Williams disputed social media rumors that he would force campuses to close due to COVID-19, nor will he implement so-called critical race theory in local schools, assuaging concerns of many local residents.
In a video message in which he announced his plans to retire Dec. 31, Smith reminisced about changes in the growing district over the past decade, including funding cuts, passage of two bond elections and coping with the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
It does not really matter if we have a hurricane or a pandemic, Smith said. We are Clear Creek ISD, over 70-plus years strong, and we will rise up out of this and be better because of it just like we have done time and time.
Miller said he was sad to see Smith, who had served as superintendent since January 2008, leave and praised his leadership.
Hes the first one to tell you if things werent going well, but he also gives lots of support and is ready and willing to problem solve and give you kudos when you deserve it, he said.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas  Graduations for the Corpus Christi Independent School District kicked into high gear Friday.
A few months ago, if you would have asked seniors who are a part of Corpus Christi Independent School District if they would get their traditional graduation day, they probably would tell you not a chance.
No, not at all," said Mia Delgado, a graduate of Mary Carroll High School. "Thought wed have one at maybe Cabaniss, but I didnt think that we were going to come back here.
Yeah I definitely didnt think that we would graduate in the ABC," said Emily Barrera, another Carroll High School graduate. "I thought that we would be on the field.
Even parents were a bit skeptical.
No, I had to wait for the actual piece of paper to say its legit," said Jessica Rodriguez, whose son graduated from Carroll . "After that, it was downhill from there. I was excited. I actually gave him his graduation ring, I was waiting until that piece of paper came, till the final day.
But the day has come for many seniors. Three high schools were holding their commencement at American Bank Center on Friday. Ray, Carroll and King High School seniors will be graduates by the end of the day.
He was very nervous," said Rodriguez. "All him and his friends were very nervous because of the limited seating. The family couldnt have too many people come. But now that theyre here all of them are excited.
A lot of our senior year was taken away from us," Barrera said. "So, I'm happy that we got this little piece.
Although able to hold the event, CCISD put safety precautions in place. Only four guests were allowed per student. Masks are recommended. Families need to social distance from other families while seated. And in between ceremonies, crews went around the arena disinfecting seats.
Despite the limitations, the excitement wasnt lacking.
"I'm ecstatic," said Rodriguez. "Im already jumping for joy inside and I'm just ready to see him walk the stage."
CCISD will continue with graduations on Saturday June 4 and Friday, June 11.
Delgado said she will be heading to Texas A&M University-Kingsville to play volleyball this fall. Barrera will be attending Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
If youre a friend or family to one of these graduating seniors and cant be at graduation, CCISD said they are streaming all ceremonies on their YouTube page

Corpus Christi ISD is now a District of Innovation.
As a District of Innovation, the state will allow CCISD to have greater local control, increased flexibility governing educational programming and empowerment to innovate and think differently.
At Monday's district board meeting, Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Kimberley James presented the district innovation plan for 2021-2026.
For a district to be eligible to be a District of Innovation, its most recent academic performance rating must be at least acceptable. CCISD's most recent performance was a B rating in 2019. Due to COVID-19, schools were not rated in 2020.
The plan was approved with a 6-1 vote, with board secretary Alice Upshaw-Hawkins being the nay vote. Her decision was based on what the length of time was regarding waivers for hiring skilled teachers not certified with a specific degree for the district. James and her team did not have that information.
Superintendent Roland Hernandez assured Upshaw-Hawkins the length of time is up to the Texas Education Agency.
"We do our part to submit it and then they give us the approval letter or deny it," Hernandez said.
Regarding certification requirements, James said Texas Education Code 12A.003 requires a public school employee to hold appropriate certification for their current assignment unless the appropriate permit has been issued.
"This system does not take into account the unique instructional needs of the district, especially for CTE and innovative classes," James said. "This system also requires many professionals to complete certification requirements during their first year of employment as they complete alternative certification or transfer teacher certification from out of state."
The current certification requirements prevent CCISD from hiring professionals with industry experience to teach Career and Technical Education courses and limit the district's ability to expand career readiness programs, James said.
With the new innovation plan, CCISD will be able to hire teachers with appropriate certification for the position in question.
"However, where that is not possible, the district will have the flexibility to hire teachers who have knowledge and life experiences in the area and are able to perform the duties assigned to that position," James said.
Due to Texas Education Code Sec. 25.0811, a school district is not allowed to start school before the fourth Monday in August. The plan will change that.
"The district will develop a flexible calendar in order to embed intervention and/or enrichment for students as well as professional development for faculty and staff throughout the school year," James said. "The district will establish a local committee of various stakeholders (for example: teachers, parents, community members and district staff) to develop and recommend a school calendar for establishing instruction to the superintendent and board of trustees, as appropriate."
James said CCISD will ensure that the first day of instruction will begin no earlier than the second week of August.
The board also approved the new district calendar for the 2021-2022 school year. The first day of school will begin on Aug. 10 and the last day will end on June 1. Two weeks of intersession will be held in October and February.

Organizers said the letters were a token of appreciation for the ones who turned their traditional teaching style upside-down to continue educating our kids.
"A lot of teachers have been working on weekends, on their personal time, at night, staying late after school," US History teacher Lee Avelar said. "A lot of the community doesn't see that and we really appreciate the acknowledgement and affirmation that a lot of teachers so deeply deserve and it's a big pat on the back for them."
The council said every elementary, middle and high school teachers and professionals were given a thank you note.

A woman was arrested for stealing more than $65 in makeup from the H-E-B in south Laredo, according to authorities.
Bridget Aileen Garcia, 34, was charged with criminal trespass and cited for theft.
Laredo police officers responded to a theft report at about 5:09 p.m. Jun 9 at the H-E-B in the 2300 block of U.S. 83. Loss prevention personnel stated they had detained Garcia for allegedly taking several makeup items and placing them next to a backpack in the child seat area.
She was then seen concealing the items in her backpack and exiting the store without paying for the items. Loss prevention detained her with the makeup items valued at $65.11. During the investigation, officers discovered she had a criminal trespass warning issued at that H-E-B.

The clinics will be at H-E-B stores near SAISD campuses from 9 a.m. to noon.
These vaccines, in combination with our continued safety protocols and weekly COVID-19 testing, will ensure we have the safest possible school environments, said SAISD Superintendent Pedro Martinez. We couldnt do this without our community and health partners, and we are grateful to H-E-B for working with us to provide these clinics.

Harding, 34, officially retired as a player in 2017 after nine years in the WNBA. She spent last season in the NBA's Basketball Operations Associates Program. After completing the program, she interviewed with several NBA teams, looking for a role that would allow her to learn and grow as both a future front-office executive and maintain a connection to coaching.
"I knew I wanted to work with the team. That's the one thing that you miss most from playing -- being part of a team, competing, and trying to win a championship," she said. "That's always been the goal probably since I picked up the ball when I was 13."
Ultimately, she thinks her future is in the front office.
"I would love to be in the front office and really understand how to put a team together," she said. "I still love being on the floor and having the opportunity to coach. But I really just wanted to get my foot in the door."
Harding joins Boucek, San Antonio assistant coach Becky Hammon and LA Clippers assistant coach Natalie Nakase as former women's basketballplayers who have successfully made the transition to the NBA.
She said Hammon has urged her to make this leap for several years. Four years ago, Harding worked as an assistant on the Toronto Raptors' summer league coaching staff, while Hammon was the head coach of the Spurs' summer league team. The two point guards bonded over their shared experiences and ambitions.
"I played against Becky for years," Harding said. "During this last season, especially working in the front office [program] and going to games, I spent some time talking to her. She was always telling me, 'You need to come. You need to come. We need more women here.'" Harding said that experience with the Raptors was pivotal in her decision to pursue an NBA job after her playing career.
"I think I wanted to know what was really the difference in women's basketball compared to men's, and how the players would respond to me," she said. "What I realized was that basketball is basketball. The game is stronger, the game is faster in that way. But I found there was so much, not only that I had learned, but that I could also teach.
"It was just a great experience for me, and that's why I felt real comfortable to be able to continue." Sixers head coach and interim general manager Brett Brown said he was blown away by Harding's basketball IQ when he met her.
"Lindsey has quickly become one of the game's bright young minds in basketball operations," Brown said. "Having graduated from the NBA's Basketball Operations Associates Program last season, Lindsey is applying the same grit and basketball IQ she used as a player in her move to the front office. We look forward to the work Lindsey will do to help grow our program and further solidify a culture of winning.
"It's no secret how much I value the culture we've built in Philadelphia and how much a family-like atmosphere means to our program. Lindsey is a leader, and she is a welcomed addition to the 76ers family. I look forward to working with her."

Every ward in Britainis short-staffed. That puts patients at risk. Maria, an occupational therapist who came to Britain from Spain 15 years ago, says the real way to fill gaps would be to increase pay and decrease hours.
And, she says, there would need to be a huge recruitment campaign attracting staff from across the world, encouraging more people in Britain to train for NHS jobs
She said that instead of addressing real issues, Hardings comments are a slap in the face.
I was so angry when I heard them, she said. It brought back all the feelings of being unwelcome that went along with Brexit
This past year Ive worked every shift. Ive travelled on public transport in a mask every shift. Ive put my family at risk every shift.
I havent been able to see my family in Spain for more than a year for fear of infecting them, and now this?
But Maria says the feeling in her hospital is one of unity, and she puts that down to having a strong, anti-racist union branch.
The unionhelped make an atmosphere that meant I could be myself. I could be proudly Spanish and be accepted.
Weve done so much to educate and organise people around issues of Black Lives Matter and the murder of George Floyd. I hope other hospitals will do the same.
This is the way we can make people who feel vulnerable because of their background, feel they too are welcomed.
But for Harding, making the NHS safe for patients and welcoming for everyone are not primary objectives.
Instead the Tory peer plans to spread hatred and division, and of course, to impose more cuts.
Hospitals rushed by patient rise
Ambulance services face severe delays as 30 hospitals face record numbers of patients.
Hospital A&E departmentsand ambulance services across Britain are at breaking point as the number of patients soars.
So many people are desperate for treatment that numbers are now greater than the peak of winter 2019, the last before the pandemic.
At least 30 Hospitals across England have seen record numbers of patients during June.
North Middlesex hospital in north London last week declared an internal incident after some 700 patients came to its A&E unit

How dare Dido Harding, the would-be boss of the NHS, attack tens of thousands of foreign health workers working in Britain?

When Boris Johnson was fighting for breath in intensive care two nurses in particular earned his seemingly undying gratitude.
Jenny McGee was originally from New Zealand, and Luis Pitarma from Portugal. Both risked their lives to work on Britains Covid frontline, and the prime minister later marvelled at the dedication with which they watched over him every second of the night. But words are cheap; its action that counts. Which brings us to the Tory peer Dido Harding, fresh from presiding over the chaos of track and trace, and her audacious applicationto follow that by taking over the running of the NHS in England. Crucially, her pitch for the job reportedly includes a pledge to stop relying on overseas-born doctors and nursesand train British-born replacements instead.
Short of stringing up a banner reading Go Home, Foreigners! outside every hospital, its hard to think of a bigger kick in the teeth for the 14% of NHS staffwho werent born in Britain and who will have arrived for work this morning, presumably wondering which of the patients whose lives they may save today would secretly prefer they werent here. After a traumatic year fighting Covid, their reward is seemingly to become pawns in a game that can only embolden racist patients. Its hard to know for certain whether all this is part of a shockingly politicised public campaign for the job, or a leak designed to damage Harding by uniting NHS staff against her. But either way, its playing with fire.
Running NHS England isnt some cushy part-time quango job, to be dished out like a campaign medal for service in the Brexit wars, but a job on which millions of lives depend. Its outgoing chief executive, Simon Stevens, brought to the job a lifetimes experience, gained first within hospital trusts and second by running health policy inside a Labour government. He is also one of the smartest political operators Ive ever met. Harding, meanwhile, is a former telecoms boss turned chair of the quango NHS Improvement, hand-picked by her friend Matt Hancock to run a 37bn test-and-trace scheme that has failed to make a measurable differenceto the path of the pandemic or prevent further lockdowns, according to parliaments public accounts select committee.

Shes far from the only author of that failure. But its easy to see why she might prefer to talk up her ideological closeness to Downing Street  which has grown increasingly irritated with the independent-minded Stevens  rather than her track record. For anyone working in an overstretched service that would collapse without its 170,000 overseas-born staff, however, all this beggars belief.
An expansion of the homegrown NHS workforce is actually already under way, following plans laid by Jeremy Hunt when he was health secretary, enabling the Tories to promise in their last manifestoto recruit 50,000 new nurses and 6,000 new GPs. But if they cant hold on to the NHS staff they already have in the meantime, they might as well be pouring water into a colander. Before Covid hit, NHS trust chiefs worried about the prospect of a post-Brexit exodus among European staff. Now they fear pandemic burnout and disillusionment, too. McGee resigned this May saying she was sick of nurses not getting the respect and now pay that we deserve, and a recent Royal College of Nursing surveyfound one in three respondents were considering leaving nursing.
Pharmacists, public health directors, nursing assistants and a host of other healthcare professions are already in such short supply theyve been added to the Home Offices
shortage occupation list
, while around 24,000 overseas health and care workers whose visas would otherwise have expired over the past year have been offered free extensionsin recognition that we couldnt have got through the pandemic without them. A new fast-track NHS visa scheme has attracted thousands of recruits so far, but how many will want to come to a country publicly trumpeting its desire to get rid of them as soon as possible?
Whether what has been reported is a fair summation of Hardings bid to run the NHSor an attempt to undermine her, Downing Street needs to make clear now where it actually stands. If anyone in government still cares about reality, rather than pandering to populist fantasy, they should treat nativist messages like this with the public contempt they deserve.

Dido Hardings pledge to cut overseas NHS staff is a kick in the teeth | Gaby Hinsliff | The Guardian

Baroness Harding of Winscombe has vowed to end Englands reliance on foreign doctors and nurses if she becomes the next head of the NHS.
Harding, the former head of Test and Trace, formally applied last week to succeed Sir Simon Stevens to lead the health service

The successful applicant will become chief executive of Europes biggest employer, with a budget of more than 150 billion. They will be responsible for clearing the list of people awaiting treatment and surgery, which stands at about five million.
Her candidacy is controversial. The Conservative peer has chaired NHS Improvement since 2017 and is close to ministers, but her testing programme was condemned as ineffective and a waste of billions of pounds.

Dido Harding: Make NHS less reliant on foreigners | News | The Sunday Times

Man finds guardian angel who saved his life when he collapsed in street
Committee chair Meg Hillier said at the time: The 23bn test and trace has cost us so far is about the annual budget of the Department for Transport. Test and trace still continues to pay for consultants at 1,000 a day.
Yet despite the unimaginable resources thrown at this project, test and trace cannot point to a measurable difference to the progress of the pandemic.
The promise on which this huge expense was justified  avoiding another lockdown  has been broken, twice.
No doubt with this in mind, Twitter users have since taken to the social media platform to condemn the peers remarks  with some saying the UK should end its reliance on Harding:
Another account pointed out that it was foreign medics and nurses who saved the Prime Ministers life when he was treated for coronavirus last year, with one nurse who cared for him, Luis Pitarma,

Sylvester Harding painted DavidMurray,7th Viscount Stormont around 1790-91, who would later become 2nd Earl Mansfield. Amongst his many titles Lord Stormont was Chief Justice General of Scotland and a Knight of the Thistle. He was also the uncle of Dido Elizabeth Belle as his cousin was also an aristocrat by the name of Sir John Lindsay KB,Prince of Arcot, Dido's father.
They were both the nephews of William Murray,Lord Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales. His seat was at Kenwood House, Hampstead, then in Middlesex where Lord Stormont was a regular visitor. Dido was raised there with her cousin Elizabeth Mary Murray who was Lord Stormont's daughter from an earlier marriage.

Sylvester Harding was a miniaturist and engraver, born in Newcastle-under-Lyme and sent to London to an apprenticeship with a hairdresser as a boy. He ran away at the age of fourteen and spent several years in a company of strolling players before embarking upon a successful career as a miniature painter in 1775. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1777 to 1787. Harding also collaborated on illustrated publications with his brother, a librarian, and his son, an engraver. Published works by Harding include Illustrations from Shakespeare, The Biographical Mirror and Memoirs of Count de Grammont.

Brexit madness could ruin UK steel industry, ministers warned
According to the NHS England annual report for 2019/20, the chief executive salary was between 195,000 and 200,000.
The report stated that Sir Simon had, during that year, voluntarily taken a 20,000 per annum pay cut for the sixth year in a row.
The other frontrunner for the role is Amanda Pritchard  the chief operating officer of NHS England, and Stevenss de facto deputy.
Meanwhile, more than 700,000 Covid-19 jabs were booked on the day the NHS vaccination programme was opened up to people aged 18 to 20.
People in England made 721,469 appointments through the national booking service on Friday, more than 30,000 an hour or more than eight every second.
NHS England said this does not include appointments made through local GP-led vaccination services, or people getting jabbed at walk-in centres.
Everyone aged 18 and over is being urged to arrange a jab if they have not yet had one, as the health service enters the final push to protect the country against the virus.
Public Health England said there has been a 79 per cent rise in one week in cases of the Delta variant, first identified in India, with the increase being driven by younger age groups.
On Saturday, thousands of jabs were administered after stadiums and football grounds in London were transformed into mass vaccination centres.
Giant jab clinics were set up at the Olympic Stadium, Stamford Bridge, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Charlton Athletic FC, Selhurst Park and Crystal Palace Athletics Centre.
There were also pop up clinics at universities, such as in York and Canterbury.

For senior season, South Lyon's Elizabeth Harding wants to take her golf game to the next level.
And even before she heads out to the links, Harding can be usually found at Cattails Golf Course on either the practice green or the driving range an hour before practice starts working on her game.
"I've been trying really hard to shoot under par," she said. "And I haven't accomplished that yet this year, so hopefully I'll be able to do that. Mostly it is putting and short game."
Harding is already off to a fast start for the Lions, who return four of their top five players from last year's third-place MHSAA Division 2 finals squad including Sophie Yergin, Kendall Skore and Julia Vess.
She captured the inaugural Lakes Valley Conference pre-tourney on Aug. 24 at Hartland Glen with a 73, while also adding a runner-up finish on Aug. 16 with an even-par 72 at the Orange Theory Fitness tourney at Hudson Mills Metropark.
Harding also tied for fifth on Aug. 18 at the Lapeer Lightning Summer Tune-up at Lapeer Country Club with a 5-over 79, while also taking medalist honors with a 36 for the 2-0 Lions in an LVC dual match against Lakeland.
Standing 5 feet, 10 inches,  Harding drives the ball 240 yards on average off the tee, but her game is well rounded.
"She's long obviously, but I'm super impressed with her short game," said South Lyon first-year assistant coach Christina Cibrario. "That's what a lot of the kids struggle with the most and she's up-and-down 90 percent of the time."
Cibrario, who teaches math at South Lyon's Centennial Middle School, played golf at Oakland University and has competed in Golf Association of Michigan events with all three Harding sisters including Caroline, a red-shirt sophomore on Michigan State's women's team along with Priscilla, who is a true sophomore on the MSU roster.
"She's a stud, she's a rock star," Cibrario said of Elizabeth. "She's very talented, can really play the game of golf. She's quiet and humble, and she's fun to watch. Doesn't get too upset, stays maintained, good composure."
Both of Elizabeth's parents have extensive golf experience at a high level.
Her father Tom, who played at MSU from 1985-87, qualified for the U.S. Senior Open in June (where Priscilla carried his bag for the first round). The teaching pro is a two-time Michigan PGA Player of the Year (1997 and 2001).
Mother Joal was a two-time All-American at Auburn University and played on the LPGA Tour (1992-94).
"Because both of our parents know a lot about golf, then we got most of our instruction from them, of course," Elizabeth said. "We help each other out a lot. I'll try and help my sisters out and they'll try to help me out just with swing tips and stuff like that."
Elizabeth, who carries a 3.6 grade-point average, is more than likely MSU-bound as well where she plans to study business and study Spanish.
In June, she went on a 10-day class sponsored trip to Peru where she visited five different cities including Cusco and Lima.
"It was really fun to see all the culture and to see the Peruvian people," Harding said. "We stayed with host families and our host mom was really nice to us. We tried speaking Spanish to her, which was a struggle, but we tried our best and we also got to see Machu Pikchu, and that was really fun. We also climbed a few mountains. We went to Lake Titicaca, which is really blue, then the Floating Islands."
During the winter, Harding will continue to play basketball. She began playing hoops in sixth grade on a club team and has progressed through middle school and high school.
"It keeps me in shape for sure because of course we do a lot of running and conditioning, which is really helpful for golf and endurance," she said.
Harding, who was a regional runner-up last year, has helped the Lions to a back-to-back third-place finishes at the D2 finals. As a freshman, along with her two older sisters, South Lyon finished runner-up.
This summer she stayed sharp competing in American Junior Golf Association events while also playing in the Michigan Women's Amateur.
This year's Division 2 finals with be held at Oct. 20-21 at Bedford Valley Golf Club in Battle Creek.
"One of my expectations is to probably place top five at 'states, but first get to 'states' and win regionals . . .  that would be a lot of fun," said Harding, who was 11th at last year's D2 finals and 10th in 2015. "And obviously I'd like to get my scoring average down, which would be great."

The app is free to use on both platforms but there are ads, along with a subscription to get rid of them and access faster processing. I found that processing my picture was relatively fast, even without a subscription.
A subscription runs anywhere from $3 to $30, if you sign up for a free subscription keep in mind it will automatically start charging you after 3 days.

You should always be wary of any app that requires you to upload a picture of your face. Voila says it deletes images after 24 to 48 hours, although there is no way to confirm this. The app will use any data it collects about you for ad targeting, but thats pretty standard.
The company behind the app, Wemagine.AI LLP, seems to be based in England. It describes itself as a tight knit team of two founders, creative directors, creators and developers who are passionate about combining humans creativity and AIs capabilities to create remarkable products.
This is their first breakout app.
Bottom line: the app is fun and simple to use. My advice is to be cautious. Instead of allowing Voila to access your entire camera roll, I would take a selfie first using the dedicated camera app on my phone and not Voila. Then, allow Voila to access that specific picture to work its magic.
You cant deny the results, they are pretty fun. Its as if you stepped right inside The Incredibles, Frozen and other cartoon classics.

Monday (June 7) marks the kickoff of Apples Worldwide Developers Conference, a weeklong confab, being held online (due to the coronavirus).
And during that event, as is customary, the company will train the spotlight on whats new, whats upcoming  and of course, whats going to create considerable buzz as Apple seeks to forge an ever-connected economy of its own, an ecosystem that, of course, includes (and needs!) developers.
But it is the relationship with developers that may be the buzz  where the courtroom battle between Apple and Epic Games has concluded (the trial, anyway)  and the App Store (and software), and the ongoing debate over privacy, will no doubt be drawn into sharper focus.
As for the hardware launches, the tech giant is widely expected to announce a new version of the MacBook Pro. And amid the speculation of what else might be new,
have anticipated that the company may also introduce a new iteration of its AirPods.
Moving Beyond The Macs And The AirPods
Beyond the hardware, its likely well see some discussion of privacy. Recall the fact that last year, at the same WWDC event, Apple announced an update to its operating system that gives users the ability to let apps track them as they wield their iPhones, or keep them from doing so (in terms of mechanics, those users would be consenting to advertising identifiers known IDFAs). And thats a change that has stirred some pushback from at least some developers.
As has been reported in this space
, some mobile app developers have been looking to sidestep Apples new privacy rules. Those developers may seek to use device fingerprinting instead  in an effort to preserve advertising-related revenues, at least for them, but would run up against Apples policy  which in turn would lead to friction as apps might be kicked off the App Store.
In terms of timing, WWDC is coming just weeks after the epic (pun only slightly intended) trial against the firm behind Fortnite, Epic Games. At the heart of that trial was, and still is, the 30 percent commission that Apple garners from its developers.
The verdict has yet to be rendered, via judge Yvonne Gonzalez. If the ruling goes against Apple, the company might be forced to let developers place their apps on Apple devices without the App Store, which would effectively cut down a revenue stream for Apple.
And though Apple doesnt break out its App Store economics (not entirely, anyway), a posting on the companys site earlier this month shows just how huge the App Store ecosystem (as its defined by the company) has become.
The Exploding (App) Ecosystem
that the ecosystem
facilitated $643 billion in billings and sales during 2020, a 24 percent gain over the previous year, as found via independent study by Analysis Group.
Apple maintains that smaller developers have benefitted through the development of this ecosystem, defined as those developers with fewer than one million downloads and less than $1 million in earnings generated from their apps annually.
The number of small developers worldwide has grown by 40 percent since 2015  and they make up more than 90 percent of App Store developers, according to the release. More than 1 in 4 smaller developers on the App store have grown their earnings by at least 25 percent annually through each of the past five years.
These stats, displayed ahead of WWDC, represent Tim Cook & Co.s bid to show that the connected economy is a tide that lifts all boats. The blurring of the lines between hardware and software, we contend, gets easier, and in fact is made possible, via apps.
Through the past few years, Apple has been pivoting away from its roots in hardware, in a bid to become a more services-oriented firm.
For Apple, the lure is there to keep users using apps and subscriptions and bundled services  services, after all, have in past quarters garnered gross margins north of 80 percent, as compared to hardware at around 30 percent.
In the latest quarter,
Apple said its services segment
stood at $16.9 billion in its latest fiscal second quarter, compared to $13.4 billion a year ago  and management said demand for App Store and subscriptions, such as Apple Music, have been strong. Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said during the post-earnings-release conference call that paid subscriptions grew by 145 million in the past year, adding 40 million in the latest quarter.
The connected economy, the ecosystem Apple is forging (with a sticky subscriber base) hinges on developers, and the fortunes of smaller developers, it seems, hinge on Apple. WWDC will likely only sharpen focus on the push and pull between them.

Apple removes top Iranian apps, Iranians up in arms
The hashtag #StopRemovingIranianApps has been trending on Iranian social media in the past few days after Apple removed at least 10 of the country's most popular apps from its online store.
Iranians have been joined by Indian Information and Communication Technology Minister in protest after Apple removed popular apps from its store, which the American company says has been done to comply with US sanctions.
"Today, respecting consumers' rights is a basic principle which Apple has not followed," Information and Communication Technology Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted, promising to "legally pursue" the case.
"IT should be used for making human life better and comfortable not a tool for discrimination between countries," he wrote.
The hashtag #StopRemovingIranianApps has been trending on Iranian social media in the past few days after Apple removed at least 10 of the country's most popular apps from its online store.
Those now missing include Amazon-style shopping apps Digikala and Bamilo, ride-hailing apps Snapp and Tap30, discount store Takhfifan and a brunch delivery service called Delion.
"We are unable to include your app on the App Store," a message sent to some of those companies reportedly said.
"Under the US sanctions regulations, the App Store cannot host, distribute, or do business with apps or developers connected to certain US embargoed countries."
The US lifted some sanctions on Iran, particularly in the aviation sector, under a 2015 nuclear deal that saw Tehran limit its atomic program.
But American individuals and companies are still barred from doing any business with Iranians because of much older and non-nuclear related sanctions on the Islamic republic.
"There are removed apps which did not have financial transactions, and due to sanctions, some of them were registered in countries other than Iran too," the minister, Azari Jahromi, said on Twitter.
Some Iranian apps in the same category of the removed ones are still available in the app store.
Iran's youthful and well-connected population own some 40 million smart phones, six million of them iPhones, the government-owned Iran Daily newspaper reported.
"Apple has not provided any clear answers to our messages," the daily on Saturday quoted Mehdi Taghizadeh, vice chairman at Delion, as saying.
More than 4,500 Iranian netizens have signed an online petition urging Apple chief executive Tim Cook "to recognise our rights as Apple customers".
"I've always been an Apple user, but despite preferring them... I'm now going to switch to Android," a user going by the name Xerexes wrote on Twitter.
"Technology is best when it brings people together. We shouldn't limit or keep others from using and developing it!" tweeted Ferial Govashiri, who used to work as a personal assistant to former US president Barack Obama but is now at Netflix.
Owners of devices that run on Android can still download Iranian apps from the online store for Google, also an American company, but they are still unable to use paid apps in the country.

How to Use the New App Store on Your Apple Watch
Apple didn't clarify if music, TV shows, movies, and books are eligible. They're not offered through the App Store, and thus it's unlikely to see that type of content participating in the end-of-year celebration. Still, there should be plenty of apps and games along to draw your attention.
Stay tuned to find out what Apple's daily deals include. Its teaser has only appeared in Australia and select Asian countries so far due to time zone differences, but the end-of-year celebration should be live in the App Store around the world soon.

Keep checking the App Store through December 29, and maybe you'll find something worth grabbing for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Apple will display all discounts and promotions on the Today, Games, and Apps tabs.

iOS 13 Forces You to Make Eye Contact While FaceTiming
Apple is under fire for taking down some parental control apps from the App Store, and despite backlash, the company said the move was necessary to protect users private information.
On Sunday, Apple said it removed many parental control apps because they reportedly put users privacy and security at risk,
said an Apple press release
. Apple said it has always believed that parents should have tools to manage their childrens device usage, however, some of these tools could expose users browsing history, location, and email accounts to third parties.
Over the last year, we became aware that several of these parental control apps were using a highly invasive technology called Mobile Device Management, or MDM, Apple said in the press release. MDM gives a third party control and access over a device and its most sensitive information including user location, app use, email accounts, camera permissions, and browsing history.
In early 2017, Apple started exploring the use of MDM by non-enterprise developers and in mid-2017, the company updated its guidelines based on this update. Apple argued that even though MDM has legitimate uses, including having better control over hardware and proprietary data, its incredibly riskyand a clear violation of App Store policiesfor a private, consumer-focused app business to install MDM control over a customers device. The company pointed out that MDM profiles can also be used by hackers to tap into users private information.

Apple Defends Removing Some Apps That Monitor Screen Time - Geek.com

How do I create amobile app for my business, and what is the process of mobile app development?
If you've decided you need an app, there's a process you should follow to make your app a reality. We've broken it down into 11 steps.
1. Ideation
This is the initial concept for your app. It's likely that if you're reading this, you've already got an idea for an app. If not, check out our guide on generating business ideasand apply some of the tips to your mobile app ideation process.
Once you have an idea, though, you should think through what kinds of features will help your app address its target market. If your app is solving a problem for users, what features make the most sense as a means to solving that problem? If it's providing entertainment, what features will make it most engaging for users? Sketch out some ideas and a list of features.
2. Validate demand
Once you have an idea and list of features, it's time to figure out if there's a market for your app. You'll do this by determining your total addressable market (TAM) and then estimating the percentage of that market your app could appeal to.
For example, let's say your idea is a mobile app for dating. Your total addressable market would be the number of single people within the geographic market you're targeting.
Once you've determined the total addressable market, you need to look at existing solutions. Using our dating app example, you could look at apps like Tinder and Bumble. Are there user problems these apps aren't addressing? What percentage of the market is likely to have these unaddressed problems? Is it a large enough market to make demand for your app viable?
After you've determined this, look back at your list of proposed features. Highlight the ones that specifically address user problems that aren't being addressed by existing solutions. Then think of the features that users expect from an app like yours (for example, the ability to like, match and chat with other users). Narrow your list down to all the features that your target user would want.
3. Determine your MVP features
Now it's time to narrow that features list even further by determining a set of MVP features. Your MVP is your minimum viable product. MVP features are the minimum set of features your app needs to launch with to function and fulfill its use case for its target market. These are the core features that make your app attractive to users and set it apart from its competitors. Coincidentally, they're also the only features you should focus on building into your app's launch version.
It's tempting to consider every feature you've dreamt up an absolute non-negotiable. But it's important to be brutal in trimming your app down to an MVP for launch. Not only will this ensure you can get your app to market quickly. It also avoids "feature bloat," which is jamming your app full of features that users won't end up utilizing and that will make your app slow and difficult to navigate.
To learn more about developing a great digital product, make sure to read our complete guideon pulling off the perfect digital product launch.
4. Wireframe
Wireframing
is the process of building the skeleton of your mobile app. A wireframe represents how an app functions, what user events trigger what screens and how users will move through the app.
For wireframing, you'll likely want to hire a graphic designerrather than an app developer. You'll want to make sure your designer is an expert at UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) This will ensure they build a wireframe that results in a completed app that's easy for users to navigate.
5. Determine your platform and tech
Next you'll need to decide what platformyou want to use to build your app. This isn't just a choice between iOS and Android. You'll need to decide what kind of app you want to build: native, web or hybrid.
Native apps
A native app is an app built to work on the user's smartphone or tablet. This will be an iOS or Android app, or perhaps Amazon Fire.
Native apps are built specifically for a device and installed directly on the device itself. They're downloaded from an app store such as the Apple App Store or the Google Play store.
The benefit of native apps is they can often be used offline. They also allow the app to directly access features of the device, such as the camera or geolocation features. They tend to perform faster, as they store their information on the device.
The downside of native apps is that they're much more costly to develop and maintain. They also rely on your app being approved by the app store platform you deploy it on. While the Google Play store has a fairly simple approval process, the Apple App Store can take more time.
Web apps
Web apps use the device's internet browser. Users don't have to download web apps and can access them from any device. They also don't have to go through a curation process in an app store. They're cheaper to build and easier to maintain than native apps.
The downside of web apps is that they can't be found on an app store. They rely on users finding your web app through an internet search. They also can't be used offline, and performance can vary dependent on the browser the user chooses. Web apps can't access a device's features either. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that web apps don't live on the user's device, meaning they don't put your brand top of mind.
Hybrid apps
A hybrid app combines elements of native and web apps. Hybrid apps use the device's browser engine, not the browser itself, to access online features, but can function whether or not the device is connected to the internet. They can also access the device's hardware, such as the camera or accelerometer. Hybrid apps also tend to be less costly to develop than native apps.
The disadvantage of hybrid apps is that they can be less stable than native apps. Hybrid apps use a component called webview to access online features, and webview tends to not perform as well as online features in native apps. It can also be difficult to develop hybrid apps to function the same across different platforms.
Which should I choose?
Your choice will come down to what you want your app to achieve. You'll have to weigh up the performance of your mobile app against the cost of development. Native apps are the most stable and offer the most functionality, but are also the costliest to develop.
6. Prototype
Your prototype is the point at which you'll want to hire a mobile app developer. Depending on the platform you're targeting, you may want to hire a specialist in iOS development Android developmentor a developer who's skilled at both.
Your prototype will be a working version of your wireframe. It's there to provide a proof of concept. You can use your prototype for user testing. Let friends, family and even strangers in your target market test the prototype and gather their feedback.
7. Design mock-up
This stage is where a graphic designertakes your wireframes and prototype and brings them to life. Once again, you'll
