She got into ranch sorting because it gave her something to do with her husband, who was competing in the sport. Lowry said she was glad to have the finals close to home after traveling all over the state, but also just to be able to compete. Af- ter her horse Smoke suf- fered a serious injury in May she was told it could take from six months to a year to heal. "I trained my horse from the ground up using a sled and flags and started cut- ting lessons six months ago from Ken Davis Cut- ting that really helped, but then my horse suffered an injury," Lowry said. "This is just a dream come true for me." Rector first started in ranch sorting seven years ago, about the time she started dating Valle, and the two traveled about 9,000 miles in 2016 to com- petitions all over. Valle, who rides a horse for a living, got his start in ranch sorting competitions when his boss invited him to compete not long after he moved to the area in 2002, he said. Fox has been riding since he was five and first started competing in ranch sorting as something to do with friends, he said. "It was something to try and it's a good group of people," Fox said. "I went to the event in Southern California and was amazed at how many Northern California peo- ple were down there and winning."

John Burch, superin- tendent of Corning Union High School District, said his goal as the commit- tee's education represen- tative is to better prepare the students of the district for their futures. "My role on the Corn- ing Economic Develop- ment Committee is to hear what the needs are of the community and then see how we as the high school in the community can provide support and help meet the need for a trained workforce," Burch said. "As we at the high school can learn what the workforce needs are of the community, we can try to begin to train our students to meet those needs." Burch said the school needs to produce gradu- ates ready to be self suf- ficient. "For those who choose to remain in our com- munity and attend com- munity college or go di- rectly into the workforce, we want those students to have the basic skills they might need to enter the workforce and continue to grow in their career to be a positive, contributing member of our community and be able to provide for themselves and their fam- ily," Burch said.

Committee FROM PAGE 1 By Aylin Y. Woodward and Lisa M. Krieger Bay Area News Group WASHINGTON Waves of exhilaration are sweep- ing Bay Area residents on the eve of Friday's inau- guration and Saturday's marches, as both support- ers and opponents of Pres- ident-elect Donald Trump prepare to bear witness to two uniquely American rit- uals. In the nation's capital, Trump's California sup- porters laughed, snapped photos and waited in long lines for inaugural tickets, aglow in a moment that once seemed unimagina- ble and still seems surreal. Meanwhile, excited sup- porters of the Women's March on Washington — and San Francisco, Oak- land, San Jose and dozens of other California cities — painted banners, knitted pink caps and shared lo- gistical strategies to dem- onstrate their concern that their civil rights are under grave threat, not only from Trump and his administra- tion but also from the Re- publican-controlled Con- gress. The chasm between the two sides — echoed in towns and cities across the nation — is part of the messy, dynamic and un- folding American story of Inauguration Weekend. "There is a hunger to bring people together — and that is our challenge," said newly elected Con- gressman Ro Khanna, who now represents the heart of Silicon Valley after defeat- ing fellow Democrat Mike Honda. Rather than boycot- ting inaugural events like many Democrats in Califor- nia's congressional delega- tion, Khanna hosted a re- ception for Bay Area visi- tors of all political stripes in his fifth-floor Cannon Building office. Inauguration tickets in hand, Peter Kuo of Santa Clara called the event "very emotional for me, after six months of hard work, six months of people yelling at you." "This is the big payoff for us," said Kuo, who on Thursday went straight from the airport to Arling- ton Cemetery and the U.S. Supreme Court. He is cele- brating his role as Trump's campaign manager for four Bay Area counties, where he organized 980 volunteers at a call cen- ter in Sunnyvale, using 20 phones to call thousands of voters in battleground states. A native of Taiwan, he said: "I believe our team was able to convince many Chinese-Americans to vote for Trump." Attending his first in- auguration, fellow Trump supporter Willie Lu of San Jose called it "an honor for me." A mobile cyberse- curity expert and CEO of Palo Alto Research Inc., he was thrilled to share the in- auguration "of a president who is a businessman, who supports hard work and has a vision to improve the security of America." Sleepless during his first night in the nation's capi- tal, Menlo Park software engineer and Trump sup- porter George Yang walked the vast Mall by moonlight, marveling at the majes- tic capital of his adoptive country. "Once in your life- time, you should do this," he said. "Change is not easy. But change is good," said Jeff Wang of Union City, urg- ing protesters to give the new president a chance. "I know people have dif- ferent opinions. We should give him time and see how he does. After 100 days, af- ter a half year, then let's talk." Throughout much of the Bay Area, however, many residents are still in a fight- ing mood two and a half months after the election. For three days after Trump won, Alison Mata, 31, had avoided Facebook because she hated to see people gloating about the victory of a candidate whose statements on the campaign trail had de- meaned a variety of Amer- icans — including some like her: a woman whose fa- ther's family is from Mex- ico. But when she returned to social media, the Oak- land resident discovered something exhilarating — women were organiz- ing a massive march on Washington for the day af- ter Trump's inauguration. Mata, who's been a femi- nist for as long as she can remember, has been wait- ing for something momen- tous like this. "I've always thought: Where's my move- ment? Where's the wave I'm supposed to be participat- ing in?" she said. For her, this is more than a chance to march for "fam- ily members who had been discriminated against be- cause of their beautiful brown skin and native tongue." It's the wave she's been looking for.
