HHAARRRRR, me hearties, twere the Summer of 76 an me lookout caught sight of a small open boat, tossed hither and thither upon the ocean. We pulled alongside, expectin to find The Black Spot as usual, but we saw there were a man and a woman on the boat...and they were barely alive. The poor devils had been cast adrift by a mutinous crew and had drifted for days, without food nor water. I had me crew haul them aboard.
We gave them rum and tended to their scorched bodies, but it was of no use, they both perished before our very eyes. Inside the tattered remains of the man's top coat was a document which told us the names of these two unfortunates. It was a touching letter from a family member and was addressed: to Mr & Mrs Joseph Hill.
There was nothing more we could do for these poor souls, so I ordered me crew to bury their bodies at sea. We prepared to carry out our sad duty and I asked the ship's Sea Shanty team to play an appropriate tune to accompany the ceremony... "ARRRRR†sais Seaman Wakeman, the ship's accordion player, "we only knows 'Pump up me Bilge' by Big Brenda!†"Aye well,†says I, "Tis a bit lively, but twill have to do.â€
So the band strikes up with a sound that would wake up Davy Jones from his locker...and suddenly, the men around me fell back gasping in terror...the two corpses were rising up from their shrouds and, blow me, if they didn't begin a jig on the deck! With that Seaman Wakeman puts his hand on my shoulder and shiverin and stutterin says, " C'C'Cap'n...The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music!â€

Coroner, Pa. game officials differ on man's death
SWISSDALE – A county coroner and the Pennsylvania Game Commission are at odds over what killed a central Pennsylvania man last month.
The Clinton County coroner says 62-year-old Gary Lininger of Woodward Township man died from a bear attack on Oct. 16. The state Game Commission, however, believes that Lininger died when a tree fell on him.
Lininger's body was found several days after his death, outside his secluded mountain home near Lock Haven.
The coroner said that while the victim was injured when a tree he was cutting fell on him, it was not enough to kill him.
But state wildlife officials said there are no other documented wild bear attacks that have resulted in death in Pennsylvania.

Posted on 01/09/2013 1:39:58 PM PST by Yehuda
Wal-Mart now sold on gun-control summit Retail giant Wal-Mart has had an apparent change of heart about attending a gun-control summit called by Vice President Joe Biden.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.blogs.cnn.com ...
Here's Walmart's corporate feedback page:
Politely but firmly FReep the heck out them:
"You back more Obama-gun grabbing aka "gun control", we won't shop at your store anymore."
There goes their Bank of Amigos loans. :)
Don't want unions down your throat? Play along. Protectionism racket.
You're on my very intermittent ping list; if you want on or off, please FRmail me.
You're on my very intermittent ping list; if you want on or off, please FRmail me.
Original Article on CNN:
"Biden: Obama exploring executive orders to combat gun violence"
DANGER Will Robinson, Danger!
Defiance of an Executive Order is a clear possibility.
I wonder what threats the government made this time.....
Now I have another reason to never shop there.
Agreeing to attend does mean you agree with those attending.
Never bought a weapon from Wal Mart and only reluctantly shop there (just because it's close and convenient.)
But, they drop guns due to this liberal Obama-stuff and they'll miss out on the great profits to be made when CW-II starts (probably sooner than we suspect.)
And they'll also loose my business.
Thanks for the info. I just gave them my thoughts on their ignorance. Not another dime will go to them from me or my family.
Sounds like Big Brother is putting the hammer down..
There's nothing stopping Shnitler from taking the guns.
The constitution is only as good as the people willing to defend it. After the last election, it looks like people voted in favor of a dictator.
>> Defiance of an Executive Order is a clear possibility.
What do you want to bet that our Governor Perry would refuse to enforce an unconstitutional EO in Texas, should it come down to that?
It's by no means certain, but I think there's a strong possibility.
Texans would be furious at such an unconstitutional power grab, and we don't have a history of willingly giving in to such. And we have LOTS and LOTS of guns, and gun dealers.
Walmart pulled all the guns from my local store 2 - 3 years ago justifying it as reflecting the changing local population. I told them I wouldn't be back and they shrugged.
Walmart should note any extortion and blackmail and report Biden or possibly sue.
I have yet to see a good explanation about the difference between government and a shakedown racket/strongarm gang.
Snappy uniforms doesn't count.
;Maybe we can help Walmart by complaining loudly,,so then they can say "look, we are going to lose business!" "our customers do NOT want any gun control",,etc. It's a thought.
Threats by DOJ, simple as that.
Can any FReepers here cite Constitutional Law which prohibits a president from unilaterally (or otherwise) engaging in these tactics? Help please?
obama wants this war and he wants it now. WE need to have, and keep, our patience. We cannot allow his scare tactics to panic us into doing something HE will use and WE will regret.
Time. your. BIDE.
"Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God"
Tear down the Great Wall of Mart now !
Vote with your dollars folks, vote with your dollars........
When you pay The Mob protection money, they leave you alone.
Yes he is looking for an excuse.
But we must defy his executive order on this subject.
Emails seem to me as about as threatening as the print out paper they're printed on, IF, that is, they bother to press " print " at all.
How long are we going to grouse in the cozy comfort of our in-doors? We need bodies to deliver emails, personally, to local Wal Mart managers, as well as the home office.
Also, anyone know the best way to promote a boycott, to avoid "interfering with commerce", or some other trumped up charge of choice?
So when all these unconstitutional gun laws are passed (as if the constitution still existed anyway being that a foreigner was twice elected POTUS) and another shooting happens (and it will) what are they going to do then? Pass laws banning the thought of guns?
You know we've pretty much put all our eggs in one basket..the NRA.
I think the AARP and the AMA proved that we cannot count on those we THOUGHT we could count on to protect our interests(i.e. AARP to protetc seniors and AMA to protect our health interets).
O threw them a bone or a bribe (or a threat) and they were suddenly on his side and sold us out.
Now he is openly going aftsr the NRA. Probably has truckloads of union goons poised to picket their homes and children's schools, and the media would CHEER if this happened.
O's thuggish behavior is fed by media adoration. I recall footage of him going up to Lieberman on Senate floor and grabbing him, almost like gangsters grab lapels and get in your face, and threatened him about some problem of the day, maybe backing Hillary. He has no sense of propriety, and, as I saw the media makes him worse.
"illegitimate president"?
Yes, illegitimate in every manner, a real Lying Commie B_tard. And illegitimate by birth also. I am convinced that the reason for the controversy with his COLB is that BHO, Sr. is not his biological father. Who is? unsure. FMD? possibly
Already sent a warning. And told them I'm NOT kidding.
A lot of other places still to shop.
Amen. It all depends on what they say.
Railing on WalMart is meaningless.
When people start railing on their local and state governments to demand their Fed reps comply with the will of their constituency I'll believe they really want something besides Gun Control/confiscation.
And PLAN smartly.
Their Chinese suppliers asked them to go. );-)
"When you pay The Mob protection money, they leave you alone."
Only until they want something else...which could be anything
Do not leave out Bass Pro Shop or Dick Sporting Goods. These two big box stores are right in there with Odinga as well.
Others are going to be coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches as time goes on.
Done and thanks!
For the cell phone peeps. :)
They will not drop guns.
They will assist to draft the EO where mom and pop gun shops, transfers between family members and gun shows are shut down.
Gotta understand how Socialist USSA works under Odinga, Comrade
Very easy to send feedback. Don't forget to remind them what you spend there.
Is Cabela's in there,too?
You won't want to shop at a Walmart during or post cwii (or shtf) either. Try to walk the gauntlet back to your car without being attacked. Ain't gonna happen.
I bought ammo today. Out of three types of ammunition, my usual supplier had just one in stock. All others were sold out and unavailable. 30-06.....Nope! 9MM........Nope! The only order they could fill was 20Ga 24 pellet Buckshot in a 2.75" shell. So I bought three cases.
>>What do you want to bet that our Governor Perry would refuse to enforce an unconstitutional EO<<
I'll believe it when I see it. Besides, what would he do?
Short of orders to arrest Uncle Sugar's agents, not much he could do.
Stop selling guns or we'll unionize you.
You know, Hillary Clinton served on Wal-Mart's board for six years prior to her husband's run for the presidency.

English and art students at the Ogdensburg Free Academy will be treated to a hands-on lesson in multi-media expression later this month thanks to artist Alan B. Tuttle.
Based in Lewis, Delaware, Mr. Tuttle hails from Oxbow and worked with art students at OFA in the early 2000s.
This year Mr. Tuttle is bringing a series of art pieces he calls The Domiciles Project to the Montpellier Art Gallery at OFA and students will be encouraged to interact with them and create art of their own in response.
We invite all forms of creative responses to them, Mr. Tuttle said.
Mr. Tuttles Domiciles Project features a series of doors with partially formed images created on the front and back that seem to give a voyeuristic glance into the world on the opposite side.
Mr. Tuttle said the project began in 2005 when he began to paint the images on his antique doors and found that viewers had a deep emotional reaction to them.
Ive found that people want to put their own twist on it, he said.
Today Mr. Tuttle publishes the stories that people create based on his work on his website, www.thedomicilesproject.com, and he doesnt view the art as complete without seeing the reaction of an engaged viewer.
Dianne K. Drayse, chair of the OFA art department, said Mr. Tuttles work is an intriguing project because theyre not really complete until the viewer participates in the viewing. Thats perfect in an educational setting.
A collaboration between the English and art departments, Mrs. Drayse said, Students can come and respond to [the doors] in many different ways. In prose, poetry, a monologue, a presentation of their monologue; they all get published on Alans website.
The doors will be at the OFA gallery from Sept. 25 to 27 and will be available for a public viewing on the evening of Sept. 26.
Mr. Tuttle will also bring his work to Gouverneur Central School on Sept. 23 and 24 and to Indian River Central School on Sept. 18,19 and 20.
This is a great way to bring something fresh and new into our programs, Mrs. Drayse said.

In this segment, we'll hear about new research looking at ways to slow the effects of Alzheimer's. In work reported this week in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers reported that large doses of the commonly available vitamin B3 (also known as nicotinamide) were able to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's in mice. But how well does that work apply to people, if at all? In this segment, we'll talk with one of the authors of the new report about the work and about what's currently known about Alzheimer's disease. So far, the work has only been done in mice. If you're interested in participating in a human clinical trial of the research, please call Beatriz Yanez at 949 824 5733.

Read: The NHL Is Ready To Wage War
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that the NHL's proposal to the NHLPA is not the first step in a negotiation for a new CBA, it is a declaration of war.
Brooks writes, "This is not an initial good-faith proposal. This is a shot across the bow of the union and at the players by a war machine that went scorched-earth last time and can pledge to do it again any day commissioner Gary Bettman feels like it."
He adds, "This is an immediate attempt to measure the willingness of the players to fight, to gauge their unity, to divide and conquer just the way the league succeeded the last time in busting a union undermined by enemies within."
On the NHLPA's response, Brooks writes "Should the NHLPA — which sat through three or four previous days of being told why the current agreement doesn't work for one team after another — counter by proposing elimination of the cap, a payroll tax at $80 million and free agency after three years? "

The various large carriers out there have done a lot of testing on different devices that are out there. Now they are looking at testing the LTE enabled 4G iPhone and the device looks as if it will be making its way to Verizon. It would be interesting to see this device as there is currently no 4G iPhone. Apple was involved in a rumor that stated that they were going to be looking at releasing a 4G enabled iPhone later in the month. A number of different large media sources have claimed that they were going to be looking at releasing a 4G iPhone as soon as they could.
A number of companies have been claimed to have tested the 4G iPhone, but now it appears to be headed toward Verizon. The IOS is an operating system for unlocked iPhone 4 that can continue to grow along with new releases from the company. The fact that they are looking at testing new versions of the device is something that would definitely be in the best interest of both Apple and the companies that are doing the testing. This of course does not guarantee that Apple even be considering shipping of an LTE Smart device. However, it does look as if the testing will be going on during late 2011 and you can bet that if the testing goes well that there could be a release around that same time. Orgy compatibility for the iPhone would definitely bring a lot of people to the platform and would be a much needed upgrade for the device. It will be interesting to see if they are able to put together a plan that will allow for it to be utilized with different carriers and also will be a very popular option, as all iPhone devices are. The iPhone in 4G format would be highly anticipated by many.

Briton became interested in the new, at that time, medium of radio because most everyone called him a lazy good for nuthin. After pleading and begging, Briton finally began his career at a candle powered radio station where he spoke primarily to cows. From there, Briton was able to claw himself into some regional markets where the pay was only slightly better but he could date the bosss wife. Her name? Misty. Hence the song-Play Misty For Me. And like a fine Stradivarius, he did just that. Night after night after night. But alas, the fun and games ended when Briton reached the big time where the air personalities actually wore clothing while on air. In short, Briton continues to enjoy his career. And if he had to sum up radio in one sentence it would be: Everything youve heard about radio jocks is true. Favorite WIND-FM moment? Playing Queensryche's "Jet City Woman" First rock concert? Pat Benatar and Krokus 1980 O'Connell Center. Your best rock and roll moment? Spent the Weekend with Great White in Daytona 1989...woke up next to a stripper. Spent a weekend partying with Def Leppard at the Don CeSar in St. Pete 1988...woke up next to a stripper. Traveled the State of Florida with Warrant on there Tour Bus 1989...woke up to two strippers!

I'm totally useless when it comes to writing linux scripts. I am hoping that one of you wise folk knows of a quick solution to my problem or are interested enough to help. The problem is simple: I've been given a few hundred cdrs full of data that I have to dump on a hard drive. What I'm hoping is possible or out there already is a script that would run on mount, automatically copy everything into a set location on HDD and then eject disc and "wait" for the next one..and repeat. I'm sure there are backup scripts that do the opposite, but I can't find one that automates backup FROM cdr to hdd.
If you're familiar with auto-rip function in grip, then you'll have an idea of what I'm after.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!
Use the shell, the .history is a powerfull feature of it, enter the desired ripping command once, insert cd, press enter if you'd added a && eject /dev/cdrom in the end, it will eject automatic uppon exit, then you'll notice the cd needs to be changed, put in the new one, at the exact moment you see it close, press arrow up and enter, weee the same command gets executed.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Carbonville resident Kurt Alan Morris has been formally charged with murder in the shooting death of his younger brother.
Deputy County Attorney Jeremiah Humes filed the first degree felony charge Thursday in 7th District Court.
Morris, 55, stands accused of killing 50 year old Jack Morris on or about Aug. 18. The victim's decomposing body was not discovered until Sept. 4, when Deputy Sheriff Travis Henrie responded to an attempted suicide call at the Carbonville trailer where the two men lived.
Henrie managed to rescue Kurt Morris, who had apparently rigged a hose from the exhaust pipe of a pickup truck through a partially open window in the mobile home. The man regained consciousness and informed the deputy that his brother was in the trailer.
Henrie went back inside and discovered the body of Jack Morris in an adjoining bedroom that was sealed with plastic sheeting and duct tape.
The sheriff's department has reported that the suspect has been cooperative during the investigation.

- How to Read a Study Record
The study is a prospective study to improve the diagnosis and management of latent TB in HIV-infected and HIV uninfected children in Thailand. The objectives are to assess the sensitivity and specificity of IGRAs (T-Spot®.TB, a T-cell-based assay, and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-tube, a whole blood assay), TST, and a refined symptom-based questionnaire in diagnosing latent TB in 166 HIV-infected and HIV uninfected children in Thailand, and to evaluate the influence of age, nutritional and immune status on children's response to the IGRAs. These children will be screened for TB with a detailed TB contact history, symptom-based questionnaire, physical examination, TST, chest radiograph (and abdominal ultrasound for those with abdominal symptoms), IGRAs, and clinical specimens for acid fast bacilli stain and culture. A diagnostic algorithm will be generated using the combination of test modalities with the highest sensitivity and specificity results.

With roads, bridges and acres of land under water for nearly two weeks, St. Lawrence County has so far accounted for more than $350,000 of municipal property damage due to flooding.
With estimates that low, assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency is out of the question, according to St. Lawrence County Emergency Services Director Michael J. LeCuyer.
In order to receive FEMA aid, Mr. LeCuyer said, the statewide damage would have to reach $27 million. St. Lawrence County would have to sustain $680,000 worth of damage. He also said that at least 25 homes or businesses would have to experience first-floor flooding, which doesnt include basements. The guidelines also do not take into account damage to seasonal housing, like several of the flooded camps along Black Lake.
The guidelines for receiving FEMA are pretty strict, he said.
Mr. LeCuyer said he spent the past few days calling municipalities across the county asking for estimated dollar amounts of damage. He calculated $350,000, but that doesnt include damage to Ogdensburgs Maple City Trail or potential damage to the Days Mills Road Bridge in Hopkinton.
The water is still too high for them to assess the amount of damage thats been done there, Mr. LeCuyer said of the Maple City Trail.
As far as state aid goes, thats in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos hands, he said.
Its up to the governor to decide if he wants to provide state aid, but we havent heard anything from him yet, Mr. LeCuyer said. All Ive been able to tell people is to mitigate it as best as possible and keep track of any damage-related finances in case something becomes available. But as of right now, nothing is available.
Gov. Cuomo declared a state of emergency in the north country at the height of the flooding.
Mr. LeCuyer said the village of Canton so far has the most reported damage at $82,000.
Most of that damage occurred at Taylor Park off Miner Street, which is maintained by the village.
We have about 100 yards of sand that was moved in the flood waters and is now covering a good percentage of the entire park, including the ballpark, Village Superintendent Brien E. Hallahan said. Sand and debris took out the fence on the east side of the softball field.
Mr. Hallahan said a concrete slab that remained after moving two small storage buildings last summer was destroyed. One is used by lifeguards for changing and storage, the other is for storing kayaks. Mr. Hallahan said aside from a few shingles, the buildings were not damaged because they are moved away from the beach area every winter.
Mr. Hallahan said with Canton Canoe Weekend coming up, village crews are going to fix up the park as fast as possible, starting with the beach area. He said they will have to replace much of the sand from the beach and fix the concrete slab.
He hopes the village will be reimbursed at some point.
Were going to do what we can to open the park, but that doesnt mean it will be back to normal, he said.
Only two roads in the county remain closed due to flood damage, County Route 15 in Rensselaer Falls and the Days Mills Road Bridge in Hopkinton, according to Donald R. Chambers, St. Lawrence County highway superintendent. He said highway officials suspect erosion under the footing of the Days Mills Bridge.
The water was on or up to the steel of the structure, he said. Our policy is to close it if the structure could potentially be unstable.
Mr. Chambers said the water has been too high for them to assess whether the bridge was damaged.

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators have successfully identified two novel genetic loci for MVP on chromosomes 11 and 13 and are searching for altered genes in these regions. This requires recruiting large families who may have MVP linked to these or other chromosomes; and obtaining DNA samples from 1,000-1,500 individually affected patients to study the relation between DNA markers throughout the genome and MVP. It is our expectation that the results of this study will lead to the discovery of gene(s) responsible for MVP. This will lead to improved understanding of the disease and, in turn, improved ability to treat and prevent progression in genetically susceptible individuals.

Jasmine W. Borregine is convinced her three children should not drink city of Watertown water because it contains fluoride.
On Monday night, Mrs. Borregine and four other residents told the City Council about what they believe are the dangers of having fluoride in the water, citing numerous studies over the years. They contend that the chemical causes health problems, claiming that 41 percent of all teens suffer from some form of fluorosis caused by too much exposure to fluoride.
The human body has no need for fluoride, she told council members. None. Fluoride is not a nutrient. Think about this: if you want to prevent sunburn, do you drink suntan lotion? Of course not. You apply it to your skin. The same goes for fluoride.
She went on to say that too much of the colorless, tasteless additive causes skeletal problems and soft spots and chipping in the enamel of teeth. Mrs. Borregine, who has 3-, 4- and 7-year-old children, no longer uses tap water in her home. Her family drinks only bottled water, she said.
But North Country Childrens Clinic dental services director Judith R. Overton said this has been an unresolved, ongoing issue nationally, statewide and locally for several decades.
There has been periodically people who make it their lifes work to eliminate fluoride from the water supply, she said. Watertown and Adams have had it for years.
Mrs. Borregine started researching the issue after hearing that the City Council recently approved a $73,195 contract for Continental Construction, Gouverneur, to replace the citys fluoride system at the water treatment plant. After studying the subject, she sent a letter to Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and the City Council voicing her concerns that not only is fluoride unnecessary but it is harmful to our health.
She also began posting her concerns on her Facebook page. She said her post went viral with many people having the same concerns. So she decided to attend Mondays council meeting.
Its much more nefarious than you would think, said Brainard Street resident Troy M. Walts, adding that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Protection Agency have conducted studies whose final reports caution against the use of fluoride.
The fluoride issue is no stranger in the north country. Recently, the village of Pulaski decided to no longer use fluoride in its water supply. But it did not have anything to do with health concerns. The village board removed the additive, citing problems with pipe corrosion and the cost of replacing corroded pipes.
About 12 years ago, Canton stopped fluoridating its water at the urging of Paul H. Connett, a professor emeritus of chemistry at St. Lawrence University and head of Fluoride Action Network. Mr. Connett cited numerous studies that show fluoride can have dangerous side effects.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions most recent statistics, from 2010, 66 percent of the nations population receives fluoridated water.
Watertown has been fluoridating since 1962, said Water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar, who continues to recommend its use but declined to comment further until he completes research on Mrs. Borregines presentation.
Mrs. Borregine acknowledged that statistics may show a drastic reduction in tooth decay in this country, but that is also happening in many western countries that do not use fluoride at all. Children are just getting better overall dental care, she said.
And she believes the American Dental Association uses its power to continue the fluoridation myth.
But more and more people are coming out against its use, she said.
Nonetheless, Mrs. Overton said Tuesday that its the most researched public health issue, stemming back to the Newburgh-Kingston Caries Fluorine Study in 1950. Over three years, Newburghs water supply was monitored after having 1 part per million sodium fluoride added to it. Kingstons water supply had none, and the study compared results from 1947 to 1950. The evidence of decay decreased in Newburgh, but remained the same in Kingston, according to the study.
If the water fluoridation isnt there, theyll see more disease, Mrs. Overton said.
She said some controversy has surrounded the subject because when too much fluoride is in a water supply, it can cause fluorosis, or the change in appearance of tooth enamel. She said 1 part per million is the optimum amount of fluoride in a water supply.
On Monday night, council members listened to the complaints about fluoride but took no action, saying they did not know enough about the subject.
They plan to discuss the issue at Mondays work session, which begins at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers of City Hall, 245 Washington St.
I just dont have the facts, Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith said. Im open to listen and hear the pros and cons.

After placing second in the nation in June at the Skills USA competition and third in October at the U.S. Open Weld Trials, 21-year-old Jeremiah Garcia of Helper is spending the next five months preparing to compete for a $40,000 scholarship and trip to Japan.
He recently returned from a competition in Atlanta, Ga., where he competed against five other college welders. After 24 hours of welding various projects in four days, Garcia was awarded the bronze medal and an opportunity to compete for the scholarship and international competition in June 2007.
Garcia, who graduated in 2006 with an applied technology degree in welding from the College of Eastern Utah, did not transfer to a four-year college this year and opted to spend every day working on perfecting four types of welds for the competition. He works on a shield metal arc weld (SMAW), gas metal arc weld (GMAW), flex core arc weld (FCAW) and a gas tungsten arc weld (GTAW).
His usual week includes welding eight hours a day in the CEU welding lab.
"One day I got to school at 10 a.m. and welded until 1 a.m. trying to perfect individual welds," Garcia said.
His easiest welds are the GMA welds because he is able to bead better with them. His hardest welds are the 7018 open root.
"It's difficult to stay consistent with this weld."
When it comes to competition, Garcia is a little nervous at first and only likes to drink a power drink before he starts to weld. His mother always wishes him good luck at his competitions, while his father's strategy is for the younger Garcia to focus on what he is doing, relax and concentrate on what weld goes where.
His instructors cannot find enough good words to say about Garcia.
"He's the consummate student," says welding instructor Lon Youngberg. "He's one of the most dedicated students I have ever had. He'll spend 30 to 40 hours a week just practicing his welds. He has great natural ability, talent, effort, perseverance and attitude."
Mike Tryon, head of the welding department, adds, "He [Garcia] practices some the most difficult welds. He can do an open root weld and only a handful of welders can do that weld well. He is really a talented individual."
As a student last spring semester, Garcia helped Youngberg, teach a large class of beginning welding students. "There's a lot of one-on-one instruction in this program and he [Youngberg] needed help."
Garcia's daily routine consists of welding different projects that he sends to the judges each month. His work is compared to two other students who are also in the competition.
The competition has different projects a contestant must complete and mail, no matter how much they weigh, to the judges each month. The students are awarded points for each type of weld they submit.
Two welders will be selected in the spring and travel to Kansas City, Mo., for the final weld-off challenge and the right to represent the United States in the 39th International World Skills Competition in Shizuoka, Japan.
Even though his father Raymond is a welder, the younger Garcia did not start welding until he was a senior at Carbon High School. "When I was a little, I picked up my dad's welding helmet in his garage and tried to look through it. When I couldn't see through the glass, I asked my dad how to wear it. He said that when I got older, he would show me how to use it. I guess that's my first indication that I wanted to be a welder."
He thinks he's a better welder than his father because he's more dedicated to practicing and his dad does not weld every day like he does. He knows this because he and his father took a welding certification class together recently.
He spent his senior year taking classes from Tryon and Youngberg and spent the past two years at the college working on his associate's degree in applied science. He plans to attend Weber State University next fall where he hopes to complete the welding engineering technology bachelor's of science program.

A Price man was hit and killed by a train Sunday along a section of track near the Price River in Utah County.
Brent Hall, 27, who suffered from severe autism, was reportedly stuck by the train near mile marker 218 of U.S. Highway 6, while fishing with his caretaker. According to the Utah County Sheriff's Office, Hall was unable to move away from the oncoming train as it rounded a corner just before 6:30 p.m.
A life-long Carbon County resident, Hall was a fixture at the Castle Valley Center where he was enrolled as both a student and within the adult program for more than two decades.
"He was well-liked and well-known by everyone around here," said Castle Valley Center Principal Mike Keller. "This is a shock for all of us, Brent was such a great person."
According to Keller, Hall's autism severely interfered with his decision-making abilities but left him physically capable. It was a condition that allowed Hall to be active and participate in a great many activities.
"He was a person that enjoyed life," continued Keller. "I remember that he enjoyed and took pride in any task that involved repetition. He really loved things like stacking fire wood, he would do anything to help."
Having been involved with the special needs people for decades, Keller is intimately acquainted with the challenges faced by both Hall and those who loved him.
"We just want to be supportive of his caretakers and his family," he said. "A tragedy like this is heartbreaking."
