"It's a proud story we tell in ag, but we have got to go out and tell it," Wenger said. "Last year was tough and this year we'll dou- ble down. Ag is tough, but we keep going. We get sur- prised by a lot of things, but one thing that doesn't sur- prise me is the grit and guts of those in this room who are resourceful. We will persevere and fight on."

Bureau FROMPAGE1 When Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts shook Trump's hand follow- ing the oath, Krohn slowly shook his head and said: "What a moment." About a dozen people joined Krohn at the Eagles hall to watch, most of them sitting at the bar. Krohn and a fellow Trump sup- porter clapped enthusiasti- cally during the ceremony. Krohn, who was named for film star Gary Cooper and worked for GM for 30 years, said he is counting on Trumptofulfillhispledgeto bring more jobs to America. 'Reform,yes, let's do it' Luis Padilla immigrated to the United States from Honduras 20 years ago. But the economy, not immigra- tion, was his main reason for supporting Trump. Pa- dilla, who is 50, said he re- spects Trump's business background. "When he talks about (how) he's going to bring jobs, as a worker I like that because people need jobs," said Padilla, who graduated from college and lives and works as a school counselor in Broadway, Virginia. On Friday, he roamed the National Mall with a broad smile on his face, wearing a red "Trump 2016" hat and a leather jacket with Amer- ican-flag sleeves. He politely chatted with anti-Trump protesters and praised them for exercising their right to free speech. Padilla said he also expects Trump to push for comprehensive immi- gration reform that bene- fits hard-working, law-abid- ing people. "Reform, yes, let's do it," he said. "People who've been hereforyears,withnocrimi- nal background, they should be able to have something." 'My community is scared' Claudia Faudoa watched nervously as Trump was sworn in, fidgeting and oc- casionally commenting on her worries. Faudoa, a 44-year-old im- migrant from Mexico who hasbeenlivingintheUnited Stateswithoutlegalstatusfor 23years,isanorganizerwith the immigration advocacy group Promise Arizona. She watched the inauguration at the group's office in a Phoe- nix church. She teared up as shespokeaboutherconcerns over Trump's immigration positions, including a prom- ise to dismantle the Obama administration program that provides protection to young people who lack le- gal status. As the mother of three U.S.-born children, Faudoa said she also worries aboutasimilarprogramthat would have benefited par- ents like her who lack legal status but have citizen chil- dren.Thatprogramhasbeen onholdwhileitischallenged in court. "My community is scared. We don't know what's going to happen. So we're going to defend and resist here," she said. 'A lot of people will be ignored and hurt' InanOakland,California, living room, 42-year-old Me- lissa Crisp-Cooper watched Trump speak about bring- ing power back to the peo- ple and assuring them they will never be ignored again. "I think a lot of people will be ignored and hurt," said Crisp-Cooper, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. She describes herself as an idealistic Ber- nie Sanders fan and talked back at the television fre- quently during Trump's 16-minute speech. Crisp-Cooper does not feel like she's a part of Trump's America. She said she is "terrified" the coun- try will slide back on prog- ress it has made in rights for women, immigrants, gays and the disabled. 'I feel good about America again' Roy Nichols said Trump's victory has given him a new optimism about the coun- try's future. "I feel good about Amer- ica again," Nichols said out- side Union Station in Wash- ington, D.C. The 64-year-old retiree from Paducah, Ken- tucky, traveled to Washing- ton to be a counter protester supporting Trump and planned to be at Saturday's women's march as well. He said his son had com- pleted multiple military de- ployments to the Middle East, and he particularly admired Trump's hard-line stance against the Islamic State group. "At least give him a chance," Nichols said. 'Looking forward to being proud to be American again' Trumpwasn'tSueMoore's firstorevensecondchoiceas the Republican Party's pres- idential nominee. But during Trump's in- auguration, the 57-year-old GOP activist chanted "We will make America great again!" She was surrounded byabout100otherpeoplein- side Pete's Greek Town Cafe in Denver who also enthu- siastically chanted during Trump's inaugural address. "He killed it. He knocked it out of the park," Moore said as others shouted and exchanged high-fives. For Moore, a residential landlord, Trump's presi- dency marks a collective coming-out party of sorts: "We are not ashamed for being exceptional anymore," Moore said. "I'm looking forward to being proud to be American again. It's OK to be successful and to be proud of it. I'm tired of America having to apologize around the world." Moore is a self-described "Ron Paul acolyte" who's so- cially liberal but fiscally con- servative. She hopes that Trump can ease the nation's divisions by generating jobs and a stronger economy. "Hopefully he'll create jobs, and everyone will jump on board," she said. 'It's really happening' Elisa Catrina Chavez skipped watching the in- auguration and instead at- tended a concert and sing- along in Seattle. The con- cert was dubbed a "bed-in" after John Lennon and Yoko Ono's protest of the Vietnam War. The 28-year-old artist who was born and raised in Texas described feel- ing ill on election night. While attending the con- cert, Trump's swearing-in lingered in her mind. "I felt a little ill again thinking, it's really happen- ing," she said. Chavez is chiefly worried about the Affordable Care Act being repealed. For now, she's pinning her hopes on state politics, where she wants Democrats to retake the state Senate.

He served in the U.S. Navy for two years, and four years later he married the love of his life, Elaine Pfister, in Sutton, Nebraska on August 13, 1950. Soon thereafter Bob went to work in the Communication Dept of the Southern Pacific Railroad, moving often within the company until finally settling in Los Molinos, CA in 1956, where Bob & Elaine raised their two daughters, Alexa & Deborah. Declining health required moving from their country home of 57 years, and in October, 2016 they settled in Feather Canyon, a lovely independent living facility. Bob had a love for the outdoors that included hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, walking, gardening, and all of nature in general. By all who knew him he will be remembered for his accurate and personal "story telling." Bob entered into a personal relationship with his Savior at age 28 and grew in his faith until his completion, at which time he peacefully entered into Jesus' arms, with Elaine present, at Paradise Hospice House, where he spent the last month of his life on earth. Bob is survived by his wife of over 66 years, Elaine, daughters Alexa Termini & son-in-law Michael of Capitola, CA, Deborah Moore & son-in-law Jeff of Chico, CA, grandchildren Jordana Moore of Brooklyn, NY, Alec Moore of San Diego, CA, siblings Clifford & wife Ada Kiehl of Quenemo, KS, Ruby Duncan of Gardner, KS, and numerous nieces and nephews. There will be a future private family celebration of life.
