I learned the value of hard work, and the importance of pruning in the spring to have a good harvest in the fall. The pressures of growth has changed our community from a sleepy community of orchards and farms busy suburbs -- but it 's still a great place to raise a family. I'm committed to protecting our family values and to planning ahead so that our community remains a great place to live.”
