this day. The church has services every third Sunday. In regard to the liquor license: the <br /> VFW has already been to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to pick up er <br /> application for a liquor license. As to the future use of the btiilding, one only has to drive <br /> by the present location of the VFW on Highway 120 and French Camp Road to see that <br /> cars are parked there almost every night, and I might add, past 6:00 pm. As to the serving <br /> of alcoholic beverages to outsiders, I am prepared to bring witnesses to testify that they <br /> have purchased alcoholic beverages at Post 1051. For those who know about the social <br /> activities of this group, drinking remains almost the main reason for their getting together. <br /> If people want to drink, that is their own business. However, I DO NOT WANT A BAR <br /> NEXT TO MY HOUSE, WITH THE ATTENDANT PROBLEMS THAT GO ON WITH <br /> PUBLIC DRINKING. The late night noise, the attendance of outsiders who might cause <br /> problems, and the general tone of a drinking environment do not belong in an agricultural <br /> area. I might add that my first husband, Pier Spyksma was a veteran and I am eternally <br /> grateful for the contributions of veterans: This has nothing to do with my respect for <br /> veterans. Oh, by the way, Mr. Sneed mentioned that the VFW has as one of its major <br /> activities to offer their services at funerals of veterans (21 gun salute, etc.) WHY WERE <br /> THEY NOT AT MY FORMER HUSBAND'S FUNERAL? <br /> We chose to live in this house because we wanted to pursue a peaceful country lifestyle. Nve <br /> have invested heavily both emotionally and financially in making our property a peaceful. <br /> beautiful haven for our family. We want to be able to go to bed at night and not have our <br /> sleep disrupted. We do not want the stress of having to complain about noise, etc. during <br /> hours in which our family expects peace and quiet. We do not want traffic going in and 011t <br /> right next to our driveway. We do not want our family activities in our back yard <br /> disrupted by noise and dust. We do not want the dust from cars going in and out to invade <br /> our house or pool. We do not have the energy or the desire to relocate at this stage of our <br /> lives. We deplore the possibility that our property will be devalued—this property which <br /> means so much to us. I ask you: How can people in places of authority jeopardize the <br /> peace of our family and the value °Is thisour property by what we get afterrfouly changing an ordinance <br /> r decades of paying tares <br /> without even asking for our input. <br /> and being good neighbors and citizens? <br /> I am so distraught by this situation and the unfairness of it that I have referred this <br /> situation to the San Joaquin County Grand Jury for investigation. They have indicated in <br /> letters I received dated December 5 and December 20 that they will assist me in addressing <br /> my concerns. I plan to keep them apprised of all future developments. <br /> I plead with you to deny this application, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Janet Spyksma-Pilchard <br />
