Well, I can certainly appreciate YOUR predicament a lot more
than one whiner complaining about ONE WEEKEND out of the whole
year.  I think they ought to come to an agreement to board the
dogs somewhere for the weekend which strikes me as a simple
and cost effective solution to the whole issue. 

My gut instinct is telling me that this individual has more
in mind than her dogs......

Duane,

I have look at it like this, I live Southwest of Indy International Airport
the FedEx planes start taking off at around 04:00 Monday through Friday, I
get a wake up call courtesy of FedEx 5 days a week. ok not quite I'm already
up. What it is some of the FedEx pilots alter their flight plans once in the
air and take short cuts most of the time causing my walls to vibrate and
things on the walls to rattle and shake.

Do I call the news media NO I call the FAA & FedEx it usually gets corrected
(FedEx puts out a general memo) really quick, although due to the fact I
cannot provide a tail number no particular pilot get his tally wacked. It
does seem to help for a few days. If I get tired of the FedEx Aircraft cat &
mouse game guess what I can move or just endure it.

I think they ( the Kennel owner) should allow the Show promoter to move her
and her dogs to an off site location during the Air Show. Thats what wrong
with our not so great country too many DAMN bleeding heart liberals.

I agree with you Duane bring on the Air Show.....................

 UNBELIEVABLE.

You'd think with it being two years after the alleged incident, this person
would have the brains to simply MOVE THE DAMNED DOGS SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR ONE
WEEKEND instead of trying to move/force everyone else to mold to her
selfishness.

And mind you, this kind of legal harassment over DOGS when here in Indiana
my wife and I couldn't even get a lawyer to take our case over the in-utero
death of our daughter during a botched amnio in 2001.  Our so-called
"enlightened"
malpractice laws in Indiana allow any quack to practice medicine on humans
with little or no remedy, but someone can sue an airshow and screw the
public as well as the BA's and Riley Hospital over their DOGS.

I like animals as much as anyone; I have a multiple champion Maine Coon Cat
- but she oughta just take the dogs somewhere else for one lousy weekend.

This is the kind of story that helps make people outside of Indiana think
that everyone here is some sort of in-bred backwoods redneck.....

Woman Says Dogs Killed During Air Show

POSTED: 6:59 am EST August 19, 2005
UPDATED: 7:18 am EST August 19, 2005

MT. COMFORT, Ind. -- There are questions about whether the Blue Angels will
be grounded for next week's Indianapolis Air Show at Mt. Comfort.

A Hancock County woman told RTV6's Jeremy Brilliant she has no problem with
the planes themselves, just the noise their jets make and the effect on her
dogs.

It's a debate that pits aviation enthusiasts against animal lovers. Riley
Hospital for Children is in the middle.

Parkewoods Kennel owner Rose Parke said that when the Blue Angels performed
at the air show in 2003, directly over her property, the high decibels
killed some of her dogs.

"I'm not against the Blue Angels. I'm not against benefits for Riley
Hospital, but I am against the injuring and death of my animals," Parke
said. "I've lost four goldens
(retrievers) over the years to these shows."

According to Parke, video from 2003 shows the F-18 Hornets above her kennel.
The video is now evidence in a court case to try to change the Angels'
flight path.

Air show chairman Dave Jester said it's a safety issue. Any changes would
effectively force the Angels out. He said that would cut into profits, all
of which are donated to Riley.

"They can't change things to anyone's whim," Dave Jester, with the
Indianapolis Air Show, said. "I relate whether or not we're making dogs
uncomfortable to the benefit that we supply to the children of Riley
Hospital. We've given the hospital over $3 million in the last few years."

Parke's attorney, Gregory Silver, sees the issue differently.

"There's something wrong with hurting animals at the same time you're making
money for the wonderful Riley Hospital. That just rubs me the wrong way,"
Silver said.

Addressing the issue, a Riley spokesman said: "We appreciate the support of
the Blue Angels as well as members of the community. We hope there can be a
resolution that benefits all parties."

Parke told RTV6 she doesn't mind having the Blue Angels perform, as long as
it's not over her land.

The Blue Angels are still being advertised as the main attraction at next
weekend's air show.

A Hancock County judge could decide as early as Monday if Parke has a case,
or if the Angels will indeed fly.

With or without the Navy jets, the show at Mt. Comfort will go on.
