78th Year No. 19 817-246-2473 7820 Wyatt Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76108 suburban-newspapers.com May 10, 2018 The season came to an end for the Benbrook baseball team last weekend, as the Bobcats lost in two straight games to Stephenville in the bi-dis- trict round of the playoffs. Coach Justin Chavez said that his team played well in the series against the Yellow Jackets, and said under different circumstances, he believes his team could have prevailed. “I felt like we out-played them in both games, but sometimes that doesn’t reflect on the score- board,” Chavez said. The Bobcats lost the opening game of the series by a score of 6-4 and the second game 16- 9, but actually led in both games. “We finished some tight ball games this year, but trying to finish in a playoff game was definite- ly another type of mental toughness we have to overcome,” Chavez said. “Physically, we were better, but mentally, them having the experience and going three rounds deep last year definitely helped them out. “In both games when they start- ed coming back, you could see the momentum shift, and we couldn’t overcome it.” Benbrook finished the season with an overall record of 17-14-1 and finished second in the dis- trict 7-4A standings behind Kennedale. Chavez said his feelings about his season as a whole are pretty positive, but added that the loss to Stephenville in the opening round of the play- offs is a hard pill to swallow. “I'm satisfied as a whole, but disappointed on how it ended,” Chavez said. “If we played two district games against Stephenville, we probably win. But when the stakes are higher, your mental- ity has to be sharp and on point, and we were not ready for that.” The Benbrook coach said there is one thing in particular he hopes his players take away from this year. “Motivation,” Chavez said. “We watched Stephenville hold up a gold glove after they beat us, and I can guarantee you we want that next year, and it will start with our campaign in district next year. Our motto will be DC19 (district cham- pions in 2019). It will be different next year because we will be the hunted not the hunter, and our mindset will change because everyone will give us their best shot. “Overall, this was our best season and next season will be even better with all of our returners and getting Davis Benton (highly talented pitcher that throws in the low 90s) back from injury.” With top 10 finishes on both the boys and girls sides at the regional meet last week, the Benbrook track and field teams are sending multiple athletes to state. The Bobcat boys qualified two athletes for state, and coach Dustin Altmiller said that he was quite impressed with how all of his athletes com- peted at region. “We had an unbelievable two days of compe- tition in Lubbock,” Altmiller said. “I am so proud of how the kids competed. Our number one goal going into regionals was to make the finals to give ourselves a chance to make it out to state, and the kids did that in all their events.” The 4X100 sprint relay came out of the pre- lims with the seventh fastest time at region and then placed sixth in the finals with a time of 43.52 to earn the Bobcat boys team some points. Mathew Bowser continued his dominance in the 110 hurdles, winning the race with a time of 14.51 seconds to advance to state. Another Benbrook athlete rebounded from a disappointing prelim to also qualify. “Kevin Young came (continued on page 7) Athletes who competed at the regional meet are: Danika Washington (left) on the awards stand for the 400 meter dash; Mathew Bowser (center) on the awards stand for the 110 hurdles and Kevin Young (right) on the awards stand for the 100 meter dash.

TxDOT Urges Driversto ‘Look Twice forMotorcycles’ toDecrease  MotorcycleFatalities

As part of National Motorcycle Safety AwarenessMonth in May, the Texas Department ofTransportation’s “Share the Road: Look Twice forMotorcycles” campaign is urging drivers to watchcarefully for motorcycles. Crashes killed 501 and seri-ously injured another 2,101 motorcyclists in Texas lastyear. “Nobody wants to take a life in a crash or lose aloved one,” said TxDOT Executive Director JamesBass. “Motorcycles are small, they’re hard to see, andit can be difficult to judge their speed and distance.That’s why it’s critical that drivers take extra precau-tions to look twice for motorcycles, especially at inter-sections.” Intersections are particularly risky areas for seriouscrashes involving motorcycles. From 2010 to 2015, 25percent of crashes involving motorcycles occurredwhen one vehicle turned left in front of an oncomingmotorcycle, likely due to the driver not seeing theoncoming motorcycle. Motorcycle crashes also are more severe than othertypes of crashes because motorcycles lack the protec-tive and safety features of other vehicles. To help everyone arrive safely at their destination,TxDOT’s “Look Twice for Motorcycles” campaignurges drivers to: • Look twice for motorcycles, especially at inter-sections. • Always assume motorcycles are closer than theyappear. • Avoid turning in front of an oncoming motorcy-cle. • Use turn signals and check blind spots beforechanging lanes. • Avoid following a motorcycle too closely. • Give motorcyclists a full lane. • Obey posted speed limits. To learn more about the campaign, visit TxDOT’swebsite.

Save Water and Moneywith These MowingTips from the Texas Commission on

Environmental Quality

The arrival of warmer weather and longer daysmeans many Texans are spending more time outdoorsenjoying and caring for their lawns. Mowing seemslike the most basic and simple of all outdoor chores.But cutting your grass correctly will help keep ithealthy, conserve water, save money, and reduce theneed for fertilizers and pesticides. Mow like a pro withthese seven tips. 1. How often you mow is the most importantaspect of lawn care. Mow frequently enough so thatyou remove no more than one-third of the grass blade.A slightly taller blade shades the soil, holding in mois-ture. It also prevents weed growth. 2. When grass is growing slowly, such as duringdrought, raise the mowing height and mow less often.If your grass is growing quickly, mow more often butnever remove more than 30 percent of the blade. 3. Keep your mower’s blades clean and sharp forclean cuts and better performance. Lawns cut with dullblades lose moisture faster and are more prone to dis-ease. 4. Mow when the grass is dry. 5. Leave grass clippings on the lawn after mowing.Besides personal preference, there is no reason toremove them. They recycle nutrients and water back toyour lawn, improve the topsoil, and significantlyreduce the need for fertilizer. If you decide to removethe clippings, put them in the compost bin. 6. Mow over leaves so that they will decomposealong with the grass clippings. Consider usingmulching blades/kits to shred clippings and leaves asyou mow. 7. Change your mowing pattern regularly to evenlydistribute grass clippings and prevent ruts or irregulargrowth patterns. To learn more, visit TakeCareOfTexas.org. Pledgeto do your part to Take Care of Texas to receive a TexasState Parks Official Guide by mail. Take Care of Texas is a statewide campaign fromthe TCEQ that encourages all Texans to help keep ourair and water clean, conserve water and energy, andreduce waste.

out of the prelims with the sixth fastest time in the 100 meter dash,” Altmillersaid. “He surprised most of the field in the finals when he finished secondwith a time of 10.71 seconds.”

The girl's track team also competed very well, with both the 4X100 meterand 800 meter relays finishing in fourth place to earn points for the LadyBobcats.

Danika Washington won the 400 meter race with a time of 57.23 secondsto advance to state, and helped set a new standard for the Benbrook track andfield program.

“With their top two finishes, Mathew Bowser, Kevin Young, and Danika

Washington become the first athletes in the Bobcat's short history to advanceto state,” Altmiller said last week.

“I think each of these athletes would love to leave the state meet with agold medal around their neck, so obviously winning their race is probablytheir number one goal. We will work over the next two weeks to try andmake that happen for them.”

The Benbrook boys finished 10th out of 32 teams at the Region 1-4Atrack and field meet and the girls finished 10th out of 26 teams.

The state track and field meet will run May 11 and 12 at Mike A. MyersStadium at the University of Texas at Austin.

The Benbrook City Council held a regular meeting on Thursday, May 3.Minutes from the city council meeting held April 19 were approved.

Proclamations Mayor Jerry Dittrich read a proclamation declaring the month of May to beMotorcycle Safety Awareness Month. He encouraged all motorists and bikers toshare the road, be respectful of all drivers, and practice safe driving habits. Dittrichpresented a plaque to members of a local group in honor of the proclamation.

The Teachers of the Year for schools serving Benbrook students were recog-nized by their respective principals. Teacher of the year for each campus are: Westpark Elementary Principal hill recognized Isabel Shirley for her dedicationto teaching children with cognitive disabilities. Benbrook Elementary PrincipalMayer recognized Lisa Murray for her work as the librarian. Benbrook Middle-High School Principal Penland recognized Nikki McCoy for leading the AVID pro-gram. Waverly Park Elementary Principal Bedford recognized Martha Alvarez forstarting the dual language program. Western Hills High School Principal Flores rec-ognized Vincent Gill for not only being a great math teacher but also being someonethat students really love. Leonard Middle School teacher of the year is Sarah Tipton;she and Principal Williams-Ridley were not present.EDC Resignation Council accepted the resignation from Patricia Hall, Place 7 on the BenbrookEconomic Development Corporation Board of Directors. Hall will be moving fromthe area. Council will open the seat for applications during the normal processbeginning in September.

Agreements Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County for the 2018Asphalt Overlay Program. For a number of years, Tarrant County Precinct Number1 has assisted the City of Benbrook with its annual street overlay program. Withoutthis assistance, the overlay program would be significantly more expensive. For fis-cal year 2017/2018, $250,000 was budgeted for this program. Under the InterlocalAgreement, Tarrant County will furnish labor and equipment necessary to overlayvarious streets throughout the City with two inches of asphalt. The City pays for thematerials, prepares the streets and provides traffic control. This year’s program willoverlay approximately 1.63 miles of streets. The program is tentatively scheduledto begin in late June. Council approved an agreement with Fort Worth ISD to upgrade Field 1 inDutch Branch Park to be used for girls’ softball. The field will be upgraded to meet

UIL requirements for girls high school softball. Currently, FWISD buses the softballteam to other facilities for practice and games. The Benbrook City Councilapproved a similar agreement on June 4, 2015, for a FWISD baseball facility nearField 1.

Contracts Council awarded an engineering contract to Freese and Nichols for the ClearFork Emergency Access Bridge Project. In order for the project to move forward,detailed engineering plans must be prepared. The cost of the engineering design is$276,830. The design process will take approximately 12 months, depending on theregulatory review process. Once the engineering design (construction plans) arecompleted, construction bids will be solicited. After City Council awards the con-struction bid, construction should start in late 2019 and take approximately 12months to complete. Council awarded a contract to Stoic Civil Construction for Plantation Westdrainage improvements. The Plantation West Drainage Project is part of the CapitalImprovement Program annually approved and updated by the City Council. Theproject protects two existing bridge assets located on Chapin Road west of Mary’sCreek Drive and on Dawn Drive west of Mary’s Creek Drive. The Chapin Roadbridge repair includes adding gabions on the downstream side of the bridge to pre-vent water from undermining the bridge, weakening its structural integrity. TheDawn Drive bridge repair includes removing the wingwalls on the upstream side ofthe bridge and constructing modular block walls to prevent water from underminingthe bridge. The project also includes replacing damaged fencing and sodding thedisturbed areas. Construction is anticipated to take about 90 days. The Storm WaterUtility will fund this project. City Council meetings are open to the public and take place on the first andthird Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 911Winscott Road. Agendas, minutes, and video are available on the City website,http://www.ci.benbrook.tx.us. Ordinances and other public notices from the City ofBenbrook are published in the Benbrook News under Legal Notices.
