Sparks fly at West Texas Weld-off
HerefordBRAND Vol. 112, No. 087 • Hereford and Deaf Smith County, Texas Wednesday, October 31, 2012 8 Pages, 75 cents Sparks fly at West Texas Weld-off By Alex Rohr BRAND Staff Writer The clicks of strikers ignite the hissing of silent gas. Purple-blue fire spurts from the welding torch. Competitors turn down the knobs, preparing to sever metal with flame throwing scalpels. With the smell of gas and smoke in the air this scene predominated the Hereford High School welding shop, most of Tuesday during the 6th Annual West Texas WeldOff. “If you get one hand in this, you put your heart out there,” Hereford’s Edgar Maldanado, 18, said. “It’s not just a competition.” One hundred thirty-six high school students from West Texas schools competed in five events to test welding skills using a variety of techniques. Students competed in torch cutting, wire welding, rod welding, tig welding and speed cutting. All events but speed cutting had an introductory and advanced level. Wire, rod and tig welding resulted in similar products. Each student had to weld two Daylight Savings Time ends on November 4.

First the student melts the filler metal and moves the plates together. Once it’s together the competitor torches the middle portion again to create an aesthetic and adhesive touch. During downtime between events students discussed welding techniques and styles. “It’s pretty good because we get to compete with students from other schools. If people are better than you then you can learn from them,” Hereford’s Lorenzo Serna, 17, said. “You can teach them, and they can teach you stuff too.” Tig welding uses a different machine that requires the user to sit down rather than stand upright. He then steps on a peddle to give the machine the power to mold together two plates with a wire in between. The machine was blocked completely on all sides by wooden barriers to protect bystanders from its extreme brightness. “It’s more of a finer weld,” Sammy Hernandez of Gearn Industries, Inc., said, adding that tig welding is used more for appearance on custom projects. Hernandez, a former student, had returned to help judge the competition. He helps manage at Gearn, off 385 in Hereford, which manufactures oil extracting equipment used all across the globe. These events were judged primarily by bead appearance and penetration. A proper bead will have even parallel arcs, like half rings of a tree trunk all across the top of the plates. On the other side the filler metal must have penetrated sufficiently to create a durable piece, without bleed- ing through the other side. “If it’s all even and [arcs] looks the same, that’s a good weld,” Hereford’s Oscar Salis, 16, said. Ernest Cabezuela, HHS Career and Technology welding teacher and Weld-Off organizer, could be seen speed shuffling from event to event to ensure that the competition ran smoothly. Next to the tig station a competitor hunches over a work table, mask or goggles covering his face or eyes. His bright light glows sharply, melting metal to a molten orange. A fountain of blueorange sparks springs in the air as the bar weakens before a chunk, the prize, clangs to the floor. The torch cutting event required the student to cut along a straight, marked surface. Judges determined the winner by smoothness of the plate’s surface, requiring a lack of slag or excess metal. A jagged or rough appearance lowered the competitor’s point total. Judges also awarded points related to safety and use of equipment. A head-to-head molten madness tournament, with a bracket to match, made up the speed cutting competition. BRAND/Jae Gaytan West Texas Weld-Off competitors concentrate to meld together two plates using the tig welding method. Two competitors, separated by a sheet of glass, cut a practice piece across a straight, drawn line before racing to determine the fastest cutter. The competitor whose scrap clanged on the floor first, moved on to the next round. Hereford’s Jorge Guerrero, 16, explained the technique that earned him fifth place of 49. “I do it a certain way so it heats up both sides of the metal,” Guerroro said. “I cut it at an angle, so when I’m cutting on the side then it heats up the top,” which he explained allows him to swipe across the top to finish the cut in one stroke, instead of heating it first. A student who overheard Guerrero’s explanation said he was going to try the same technique on his turn. Students could compete in any and all events, but could also limit themselves to the skills they are accustomed to. “It was my first time, so I just wanted to do what I knew,” Salis said. “Next year I’ll be ready. I’ll know what to do, what to look for.” Students who participate in these competitions and classes come out of high school with skills to help them in the real world. “They’re very talented people,” Ken Gearn, Gearn Industries marketing manager, said. “There’re a lot of really good young people that really prove themselves. The program is really good.” “When I graduated, I already had a little experience, a feel for the machines,” Gearn’s Hugo Flores, wire welding judge, who took welding classes under Ernest See WELDING, Page 2 Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour!

Incarceration Total: 60 Male: 44 Female: 16 A slowed, darkened NYC begins to stir to life NEW YORK (AP) — Two days after superstorm Sandy brought New York to a standstill, residents itching to get back to work and their old lives noticed small signs that the city might be getting back to — well, not quite normal. Morning rush-hour traffic appeared thicker than on an ordinary day as people started to return to work in a New York without functioning subways. Cars were bumper to bumper on several major highways. Mayor Michael Bloomberg planned to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange to reopen it after a rare two-day closure. Perhaps most promising, though, was the people waiting at bus stops — a sign that mass transit was trying to resume even as the subway system and some vehicle tunnels remained crippled by Sandy’s record storm surge. Rosa Diaz, a 58-year-old diabetic, waited for a bus to take her to the Bronx so she could she could keep an appointment with her endocrinologist. She lives in the Flushing section of Queens but is staying with her mother, who lives in a senior residence in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood — with no power. “It’s horrible,” she said. “Thank God, I bought gallons and gallons of water to drink and to wash with.” Even though workaday life was slowly returning, there was little false hope. “Clearly, the challenges our city faces in the coming days are enormous,” Bloomberg said Tuesday as officials warned that power might not be back until the weekend for hundreds of thousands of people accustomed to their cosmopolitan lives. While some bus service resumed and some bridges reopened, transit officials said they couldn’t predict when the subway would run again after suffering the worst damage in its 108-year history. The storm’s deadly impact grew grimly clearer as the worst of it moved off: The death toll rose to 22 in the city, including two people who drowned in a home and one who was in bed when a tree fell on an apartment. A fire destroyed as many as 100 houses in a flooded beachfront neighborhood in Queens, while firefighters used boats to rescue people in chest-high water. For the 8 million people who live here, the city was a different place one day after being battered by the megastorm — a combination of Hurricane Sandy, a wintry storm and a blast of arctic air. Schools were shut for a second day and were closed Wednesday, too. And people inside and outside the city scrambled to find ways to get to work. In lower Manhattan where p ow e r wa s o u t , t r a ffi c streamed off the Brooklyn Bridge but slowed as it approached downtown. There were few signs that traffic was being directed by police through intersections with darkened stoplights. Buses have resumed partial service and are free, for now. And the city has modified taxi rules and encouraged drivers to pick up more than one passenger at a time. Jeff Storey, of Goshen in the Hudson Valley north of the city, is a regular on the MetroNorth Railroad and has been forced to work from home this week. He may have to switch to a bus until commuter rail service is running again, he told the Times-Herald Record of Middletown. For Jill Meltz, a 45-year-old resident of the Upper West Side who works in advertising, Wednesday was the first day she felt good about going out. But it wasn’t quite business as usual.

Rick Perry plans to promote the state’s new Women’s Health Program that excludes Planned Parenthood. He will make an appearance Wednesday with state Health and Human Services Commissioner Kyle Janek to talk about the new program, which starts on Thursday. The Women’s Health Program provides preventive care and contraception to poor women. Perry and Republican lawmakers have worked to ban any clinic or doctor from the program if they have ties to an abortion provider. That rule ran into trouble with the federal government, which said it violates a woman’s right to choose her own doctor. Official said they would cut 90 percent of the funding on Oct. 31. Perry announced the state would fund its own program, but critics question whether enough doctors will participate. Diplomat: Texas agents should have seen people McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Texas law enforcement agents were close enough to a pickup truck to see it was carrying people, not drugs, before one opened fire, killing two Guatemalan immigrants hiding under a cover in the vehicle’s bed, a diplomat said Tuesday. Texas Department of Public Safety officials have said the helicopter crew believed the truck was carrying a covered drug load in the bed and a trooper aboard fired to stop it. But after interviewing seven surviving illegal immigrants, Alba Caceres, Guatemala’s consul in McAllen, said there was agreement that the helicopter was 450 to 600 feet away when the trooper inside fired in an attempt to disable the fleeing vehicle. She said the trooper should have been able to see the people inside. “They all saw it (the helicopter),” Caceres said. “All of them, including those riding up front because they were stuck against the window.” Pancakes: Continued from Page 1 other half of the proceeds and donations from the event will help sponsor the HHS Key Club, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, Terrific Kids at Stanton Learning Center, the United Way and the Kiwanis International Fund.

Students at the competition have goals to weld in Hereford, across the globe, underwater and even in space. Several want to enter the profession for the variety of skill, technique and location options it offers, but most stated the open job market encouraged their goals and talents. “There’s a huge need for more welders, and there always has been. We’ve never stopped hiring at our company,” Gearn said. “We have jobs open right now, a lot of them.” The event could not have been successful without help from other CTE staff and students. Cosmetology students organized brackets, registered competitors and handed out score sheets. The girls even handed out lunch that had been grilled by Auto-tech’s Monty Smith and Rodney Ferguson. “As a CTE group, we help each other. It doesn’t make a difference what we’re doing. We just help each other,” Rhonda Romero, cosmetology teacher said. “It kinda has to happen, these are our areas of expertise,” Cynthia Peters, digital media teacher, said as she printed certificates for the winners. Gas knobs turned back the other direction, fires sizzled out and black smoke lingered skyward. The arena emptied for the awards presentation in another shop. Leo Gallardo tied for fifth for Best Overall Welder, a combination of all welding scores, and Cutter Smith placed third in Advanced Rod Welding. A number of other Hereford students also placed in various events. “A lot of teams that came in second last year are the one’s who won,” Cabezeula said in between managing the cleaning and reorganization of his shop. “We’ve got some work to do with all the seniors being gone. I’ve got some freshman that are gonna be good.” TODAY: • Farmers Market 4 p.m. next to Dameron Park. • Lions Club, noon, Hereford Community Center. • NA meeting, 8 p.m., at the Hereford Community Center 100 Ave. C.

(AP) — A Bristol man is free on bond after police found 30 stolen street signs, two traffic barrels and two traffic cones in his house. The Kingsport Times-News reports (http://bit.ly/PCFYK4) police spotted street signs nailed to the walls of Daniel Cross’ home when they responded to a call about a domestic incident on Saturday morning. According to the arrest report, police saw an orange traffic barrel and traffic cone in a corner and found more signs in a pile under a child’s bed. Cross told officers the signs were given to him by a friend. He said he was going to decorate with them. Transportation officials still are determining their value. Halloween is a time for fantasy whereby spirits and monsters reign, but the fantasy can be interrupted when reality unnecessarily intervenes in the form of tragedy. By having and adhering to a few simple safety guidelines, all of the blood, guts and gore can be relegated to fantasy where it belongs. Costumes: 1. Costumes should be properly sized. Anticipate colder weather by wearing a slightly bigger costume that allows for warmer layers of clothing underneath. Additionally, costumes should not be so long as to present a tripping hazard. Costumes should always be constructed from flameresistant materials. 2. Shoes and Masks should also be properly sized. Remember that there may be a good deal of walking or standing throughout the night and comfortable, reliable shoes are a necessity. Masks should not impair vision or restrict breathing. If need be, expand the holes around the mouth and eyes. 3. Decorative contact lenses should only be purchased with a prescription through a licensed optometrist. Contacts are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and are regarded as medical devices. Any beauty shop, costume shop or retail outlet that sells contacts without requiring a prescription is in violation of the law. Decorative lenses can scratch the outer lens of the eye, known as a corneal abrasion, and are highly susceptible to spreading eye infections which can result in complete vision loss. 4. Never use face paint around the eyes, regardless of what the picture on the package demonstrates, and always wash off all make-up and hair products before going to bed as some may be toxic if worn for extended periods. 5. Accessories, such as swords, knives and the like, should be short, soft and flexible. Trick or Treating: 1. Never permit children to trick or treat alone. Adult supervision is a necessity. 2. Never let children enter a home without being accompanied by an adult and only approach those houses with well-lit interiors and exteriors. 3. Teach children to attract attention to themselves if grabbed by yelling “they’re trying to take me,” or “this is not my mother/ father. 4. Wear light-colored costumes or line costumes with reflective tape so that they are more visible to oncoming cars. 5. Children should walk with a flashlight to illuminate their path and to increase visibility and should stay on the sidewalk whenever possible. If no sidewalk exists, walk close to the curb facing traffic. 6. Children should only cross the Sugarland Mall 400 N. 25 Mile Ave., Hereford, TX BUSINESS OFFICE CALL: 364-0101 MOVIE HOTLINE CALL: 364-8000 Fri Oct. 2nd thru Thur Nov. 8th SILENT HILL: REVELATION SCREEN 6 RATED R MATINEE SAT & SUN EVENINGS WRECK-IT RALPH SCREEN 5 RATED PG MATINEE SAT & SUN EVENINGS 12:50 & 3:00 5:05 7:10 & 9:15 LOOPER SCREEN 4 RATED R MATINEE SAT & SUN 1:30 & 4:10 permit them to draw an outline and have an adult complete the carving. 2. Flashlights or battery-operated candles are preferred to illuminate the jack-o-lantern. If a candle must be used, do not let children light it and use a fireplace-style lighter. 3. Keep jack-o-lanterns off of the porch on the actual night of trick-or-treating as they can present a tripping hazard. Any yard decorations should be well-lit or removed prior to the arrival of trick-or-treaters. While these rules seem cumbersome, many simply require a little common sense to remember. Safety and fun can go hand-in-hand this Halloween. Be careful, it’s scary out there! street at intersections and always look in both directions, using the crosswalk when provided. Never under any circumstance should children cross in the middle of a street, and teach them to never enter a roadway from behind a parked vehicle. 7. Children should keep a considerable distance from all parked vehicles, even those that appear to be unoccupied. 8. Trick-or-treaters should stay in well-lit areas. Never cut across yards and never use an alley as a thoroughfare. Candy: 1. Only permit children to consume factory wrapped candy, never any homemade treats or candy that is sealed by twisting the ends. 2. While an x-ray machine likely isn’t necessary, parents should inspect every piece of candy that the child eats. Look for signs of tampering such as small holes or an attempt to reseal the package. The rule is: if it appears suspicious in any way, make sure to throw it away. 3. While inspecting treats, keep in mind the potential for choking hazards and remove, especially with smaller children. 4. Feed children a light and healthy snack prior to trick or treating to reduce the temptation of eating un-inspected treats. Driving: 1. Do not use a cell-phone or text while driving, no matter your rate of speed. 2. Communicate with other drivers by always using a turnsignal and use the hazard lights when picking up or dropping off trick-or-treaters. 3. Do not pass stopped vehicles, they may be unloading children. 4. Watch for children crossing the street in the middle of the block. Although they should be taught not to do it, some inevitably will. At Home: 1. Do not let children handle sharp instruments when carving a jack-o-lantern. Convince children to paint the pumpkin instead or Teacher of the Week!

RANDALL Randall eliminates Lady Herd in three games By Skip Leon BRAND Sports Editor Volleyball matches are not always won in the final game. More often than not there are critical points during a match to which a coach can look and say that was a turning point. Such a juncture came in the first game of the bi-district contest between Hereford and Randall at Tascosa High School Tuesday night. The Lady Whitefaces built a 20-15 lead and looked to seize the momentum and take a 1-0 lead in the match. But Randall battled back to tie the game 21-21. Now it was crunch time. In the waning stages of the game the Lady Raiders (3010) scored four of the final six points to eek out a 25-23 victory. They went on to beat Hereford 25-8 in the second game and 25-21 in the third game to advance to the Area round of the playoffs. The Lady Whitefaces, who were co-champs in District 4-4A, finish with a 22-19 overall record. Lady Herd coach Erin Bell noted the importance of the first game Tuesday night. “Psychologically, it was important for both teams,” Bell said as the Tascosa gymnasium emptied out after the match. “If we had won that game I think we would have taken some wind out of their sails. It would have shocked them and given us some confidence. It hurt us to lose that game, especially since we had a big lead.” Trailing 13-12, Hereford went on an 8-2 run. A Lady Whiteface kill tied the score and gave the serve to the local contingent. Sophomore Madison Valdez put the Lady Herd ahead when she dug out a massive hit and the ball went over the BRAND/Skip Leon Above, Hereford sophomore Claire Harrison lunges to return a hit by Randall during a bi-district volleyball match at Tascosa High School Tuesday night. Right, the Lady Herd’s Alexis Garza gets her fingertips on a shot by Randall at the net. net and landed between two Randall players for a point. Reagan Strafuss then blasted a kill through the Lady Raiders’ block to make it 15-13. After a Randall timeout, the Lady Raiders hit a shot long to give Hereford a 16-13 advantage. Randall scored to regain the serve, but promptly served the ball into the net to make it 17-14. A Randall hitting error gave Hereford an 18-14 lead. But the Lady Raiders followed with a kill to pull within three points. However, another Randall serving error made the score 19-15 for the Lady Whitefaces. Alexis Garza notched a kill through the Randall block to cap the run. The Lady Raiders forged a streak of their own to take the lead. Trailing 21-17, they scored six unanswered points to inch ahead 23-21. But a serving error after a Hereford timeout pulled the Lady Whitefaces within one point. Randall then notched a kill to move within one point of winning the game. But Hereford responded as Macie White put down a kill to make the score 24-23. However, Randall finished it off with a kill to gain the advantage — both physically and psychologically. Randall jumped to an 8-5 lead in game two, but sewed it up with 10 consecutive points to take an insurmountable 18-5 advantage. Most of the points came with Randall libero Halee O’Con serving. Randall’s aggressive serves took their toll on the Lady Whitefaces in the second game. They had trouble getting a good pass into the air on their service receives, which made it difficult for the setter to get the ball to the hitters. “In the second game their libero got back there on the service line and we didn’t have an answer for her serves,” Bell said. “In the first and third games we got her off the service line quickly and we were in those games. Our passing in the second game is what killed us.” Bell also said blocking was a difference in the match. “Our lack of a block, and their blocking was very tough,” Bell said. “Our blockers weren’t taking away part of the court. That made it draining on my kids on the back row.” The Lady Whitefaces also committed an uncharacteristically high 19 hitting errors in the match Strafuss and White paced Hereford with five kills each. Megan Rodriguez had four kills. The back line defense was led by Valdez with 12 digs. Strafuss contributed 11 digs and Harrison had seven digs. Strafuss also recorded three service aces. Looking back at the Lady Whitefaces’ season, Bell said it was a journey over a hilly road. “I think our year was very up and down,” the fourthyear head coach said after the game. “We could never hit a peak and stay there. You could describe our season as a heartbeat. Coach (Karli) Morrison said that. We had little blips, but we never went up and stayed up.” YMCA Co-ed Volleyball League division champions Courtesy photos The champions in the Hereford YMCA Co-ed Volleyball League were Spike Force (left) in the ‘A’ Division and Heavy Hitters (right) in the ‘B’ Division.
