Jumpdude 0 #1376 August 9, 2015 Here's the email I just received a little while ago! The question I have now is, if that guy lived in the departure patterns at Laguardia, what the hell does he want? I think he just wants everyone to be as miserable as they are! ** Note I'm adding the links beside the titles, in the email, those links were inline text clicky links. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ *********************************************************** EDITORIALS - Sunday, Aug. 9 *********************************************************** Many thanks to all who have taken the time to write letters to the newspaper and call the TC-Line! Please take a moment to Like the editorials and add a supporting comment. Keep the letters flowing! 1. Keep going, Quiet Skies (link for that story; http://www.timescall.com/opinion/letterstotheeditor/ci_28607867/stephen-henninger-keep-going-quiet-skies ) Fight on, Quiet Skies. Our world is making a racket in the modern age. The beauty of silence and quiet is widely ignored— even embraced by the inconsiderate. The Twin Otter jump plane is one noisy machine in its climbs with heavy loads. It is involved in a sport, not a particularly essential or noble undertaking. It is a machine that could be modernized with better propellers and engines, but cranks along on older technology. Living as I did beneath the departure patterns near LaGuardia Airport, I know the racket of older aircraft, the mess they made of dinner conversation and the shaking of china on the shelves. But at least those flights had destinations and purpose for travelers and commerce. Skydiving operations are simply for fun, which is fine, but it ruins the peace across the land— over and over again all day. All for sport. Even the Grand Canyon is respected more than Longmont and Niwot with its quieter tourist overflights. For those that say noise is no big deal, that there are more important issues in our world, they just don’t seem to get it, or more likely simply don’t want to. So keep going Quiet Skies. You have been abused by an arrogant judgment against you, and you are the recipient of scorn by an uncaring element of the public and judicial abuses alike. America kinder and gentler? Far from it these days. Stephen Henninger Firestone ********************************************************** 2.

ryoder 1,590 #1377 August 10, 2015 Jumpdude UPDATE: Citizens for Quiet Skies Legal Action in Longm... In her decision on May 21st, U.S. District Court Judge LaBuda sided with Mile-Hi Skydiving. At the root of Judge LaBuda’s decision was a total deference to FAA, the... View on aireform.com (Link; http://aireform.com/update-citizens-for-quiet-skies-legal-action-in-longmont-co/ ) From that link: In June, Judge LaBuda awarded nearly $68,000 to Mile-Hi for supposedly “reasonable costs.” These costs included $40,000 for Mile-Hi’s noise expert, and costs incurred for defense counsel Anthony Leffert to fly to California and sit next to the noise expert during his deposition. Adding insult to injury, two months after the trial’s conclusion the Judge went further and granted another $48,000 in “attorney fees” to Mile-Hi Skydiving, opining that the lawsuit was ‘frivolous’ and agreeing that the plaintiffs should be punished for some of the claims that were dismissed prior to trial. The plaintiffs must now submit 125% of the awarded amount to the court until the appeal is concluded – $145,000 in total. That surprises me. I thought they were supposed to pay it to MHS, not to the court.

FlyingRhenquest 1 #1378 August 10, 2015 I guess the court is just going to... hold it for them... or something? Also, wouldn't they normally just want the full amount? Is she planning to tack on more? Because our parking lot and road out to the pick-up area sure could use some paving!I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #1379 August 10, 2015 Think "in escrow." The court holds the money so that they are certain that CQS isn't using an appeal as a tactic to get out of paying. They don't give it to MHS until the appeal is done so if CQS gets the ruling reversed, they can get the money back easily."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

yoink 321 #1383 August 10, 2015 nolhtairt Ridiculing is fun. But counter-productive. If you want to ridicule her in a productive way, write to the publication that she's encouraging her supporters to write to. Send pictures. Explain the joy you get out of skydiving. It won't take many pro-MHS letters to be published until she drops that avenue of attack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe she'll blow a fuse someday and everybody within CQS will back off and stop helping her. So maybe there's one kid in the classroom that gets ridiculed. Based on class size 1/30? 1/25? 1/20? Now extend that to a community. So there is a statistical possibility that some of your neighbors got bullied in school way back when and still carry that chip on their shoulders AND they just happen to be the ones who don't like DeHavilland Otters and Skydivers. So why put the energy in ridicule? Kimmy and and her crew (I could write Kimmy and her Klan but I won't) ain't giving up. Today Longmount, tomorrow who's next? Maybe they were class runts in the past but that matters little now that they're making life hell for MHS and potentially the rest of us. Put the energy in the stuff that'll stop her once and for all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is she planning to tack on more? Because our parking lot and road out to the pick-up area sure could use some paving! I was involved in an airport access suit a few years ago in Alabama (not skydiving related), and for the defendant to appeal, they had to put up 125% which was additional penalty automatically if they lost the appeal. I believe this applies here, but I am not sure if the courts take that additional money or Mile-Hi. I think it's to discourage taking more of the court's time, and either way it's more out of CQS pockets. Good enough.Roll Tide Roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe this applies here, but I am not sure if the courts take that additional money or Mile-Hi. I think it's to discourage taking more of the court's time, and either way it's more out of CQS pockets. Good enough. Does the appeal move forward if CQS can't pay the price? And, at what point does Princess Kimmie have to cough up some cash? I ask the second question because Kimmie's recent writings would suggest she doesn't get that she is now in debt for this ruling.

johndh1 0 #1395 August 11, 2015 As I read it in the Rule 411 revised, CQS has (now, reduced from 21) 14 days from ruling to file the appeal notice of intent, and in that same time to either obtain a bond or put up the 125% cash - so they have done one or the other well before now, unless I am missing something. I would love to know if they have come up the cash themselves or found some fool to come aboard that sinking ship. But this clarifies a bit, though I could not find it specifically, I do believe the 125% figure is already the standard. https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/Supreme_Court/Rule_Changes/2013/2013%2813%29%20redlined.pdfRoll Tide Roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
