Thank you, Logic, for clearing up my confusion. I, too, have been under the impression that Ms. Hinshaw did not attend the meeting that she had rescheduled. After reviewing the past issues of the Banner, I found, on the front page, a column stating how Ms. Hinshaw decided not to show up for a meeting she specifically requested. There was assumptions made by Ms. Hinshaw about an officer in the town. According to the Banner, Ms. Hinshaw failed to show up at this meeting, that had been rescheduled upon her request, and the board voted on the actions of the officer, stating that he did nothing more than provide professional service. Thank you for clearing up and clarifying what I thought was true.

Thanks again, Logic. I look forward to the newest officers serving here in our town. The chief is definitely, as I read the Banner today, making improvements amongst those in our community and surrounding areas. I feel that with his guidance and oversight, the newest employees of the department will follow in his footsteps and provide service in the same great manner. Speaking of the meeting held for Ms. Hinshaw in which she didn't show up, perhaps in the previous forums when Ms. Hinshaw states that the Banner only writes things in regards to the "good ole boys network" and only states the "TRUTH" (As you will find this statement by her in Opinion Poll Question at the top of the forum page) Maybe the truth actually came out when that issue was published regarding the meeting scheduled. Is Ms. Hinshaw not showing up for a meeting rescheduled for her a lie? corruption? or the TRUTH?

Excellent points James. The "lies" accusation is like me cancelling my order at a restaurant on my first visit, and then proceeding to tell everyone I know how bad the food was.

Ms. Hinshaw, I agree we have our own opinions on all of this. However, I think making personal judgment toward the board and department would never give a chance for them to prove to be different. I have witnessed in the past three weeks, other than my son coming home, officers patroling more often, and actually taking time to converse with the citizens they have come into contact with. I have read the most recent issues in the Banner regarding KPD and found in both the letter to the editor sections, and basic news sections, talking about the generosity, integrity, and well-rounded officers we now have. I read about the officer helping a woman with a bat in her house, I read about the officers helping the ladies with the alarm at the bank. These things are giving us insight that KPD is not a dreaded department, but yet a department dedicated to progress. Is the meeting you were talking about getting changed, is that the meeting that was held in like January or February when the citizen didn't show up? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm just curious, as that has been a while ago.

Dear lea before you pass judgement on anyone else in the town why don't you take a look in the mirror. If anyone in this town has made a name for themselves i vote that it would have to be you. When my kids get in trouble I blame myself not the school board or the police department. Everyone is corrupt except for you right? Correct me if im wrong but the problems you have complained about in this town are a proven fact of what happens to someone when they continue to blame everyone except for themselves. HA! stop placing blame on everyone else and take a hard look into the mirror. I'm sure you will see the that the person you need to blame is looking right back at you. P.S have you ever thought about moving away from this so called corrupt town.

Instead of complaining and screaming foul-play, take your words to the streets. VOTE in November. If you think the Town board is so bad then vote 3 of them out. I am up for re-election and if you think I've done a "BAD" job then vote against me. Cort Swincher

Dear K-town Supporter, It seem's to me that u have some anger toward Lea Hinshaw..You think maybe you express that in your writting because you or a faimly memeber is married or knows someone on the police force, or town bored? Yes I agree that everyone should look into the mirror before they start slamming other ppl, but thats a 2way street. Think about that. And what is this "proven" fact that this is what happens to ppl who blame everybody but themselves..? Have we been there before? From Lea Hinshaws previous letters she had written, I not once seen anything that you cant go back and see a repeat of history. She has a strong vaild point. K-town Supporter, Crawl out of the rock you live under and see what you have been hideing yourself from.

I do not have any connection to the police department and/or the town board (in this situation the correct spelling of the word is "board" and not "bored") and I have seen no evidence of lying or corruption whatsoever. If things are really this bad and Lea is being treated so unfairly, then she should consult an attorney and take action or contact the State Attorney's office. Of course, you have to have proof and I suspect there is little or no proof in this situation. I'm tired of people constantly complaining about the school and town, but when you ask them for specifics and/or proof they can't tell you anything. I'm tired of our town and/or school being sued for ridiculous reasons (I don't care why the town fired that 911 operator and I don't want my water/electricity rates going up over a employer/employee issue). So, I'll ask once more....what exactly did the Town Board lie about and how are the police corrupt? And please do not refer me to the local "newspaper" or their website, I 'm very skeptical about much of the information contained in both the paper and website. I think that reporting should be unbiased and it really doesn't seem to be that way here in Knightstown. Positive community events like Jubilee Days received little or no space in the paper. The GREENFIELD newspaper had more information about this 3 day event than our local paper. Let's hope that the Fall Festival does a little better. Why doesn't that concern anyone?

Dear K-town Supporter/Sara/Whatever, THank you for correcting my spelling in my previuos letter...I didnt know you had a masters in Spelling. (My mistake) If you have not seen "evidence" ect... Then obviously your not looking to hard, Lets say someone did bring one of these problems or concerns to your attention with proof of it happening, What would be thought? Is everyone still going to think in there simple boxed in mind or open it up to see the true colors of Knightstown...? Maybe Lea should contact someone of that nature, But once again that has been done in the past and no action was taken. Once again History repeats itself. And if your so tired of "you'r" school being sued,HA! Then there obviously not to ridiculous or they wouldn't be sued. Would they? If your so tired maybe you should move outa town. And if your "skeptical" about the newspaper and the information obtained in it, then what aren't you skeptical of K-town Supporter? Jubille Days has never served any purpose in the paper due to its a joke.
