McLouth police seize gun, methamphetamine in drug bust
You mean Gary Farmer? Yea, he is a lost cause just like all the other meth heads. Gary Farmer, one to definitely lock up and throw away the key. He is alleged to commit more crimes in this county than any one else. Somehow he keeps getting released on bond, just to go and commit additional crimes and/or get busted for possession again.

Feds try to seize property tied to drug case
Brownback? Really? How does he fit in here? He is the governor, not a federal law enforcement officer, a federal appointee or a federal elected representative. The feds seized the property and want to sell it. Happens all the time. But, what should be done, is they temporarily seize it and not be allowed to do anything with it until and only if the accused are convicted.

Fire destroys house north of McLouth
Alright speed, that is what ya know. But here are the facts,propane, like its natural gas cousin is odorless. An odorant such as ethyl mercaptin is added to alert occupants to the presence of leaks. However the odorant may lose its effectiveness, particularly if there is rust in the tank. Propane is explosive at lower concentrations (2% - 3% of air) than natural gas. Propane appliances in basements or pits must have a dedicated drain to daylight. The drain must not have a trap. You have no idea of the detail or competency of my work, so you have zero basis for your allegation. To say such things of the profession of home inspectors is at best your opinion. To specifically point me out, is an allegation and slanderous. To do so in a public forum is wreckless. Do you really want to go down the path of slanderous and wreckless accusations in public? In this matter I have the International Residential Code in my pocket which has been adopted and observed by every county in this nation, and as such is directly admissable as fact, not opinion in every court of law.

Fire destroys house north of McLouth
If you are going to have propane fueled appliances in your basement you must have a dedicated floor drain/vent for that appliance. Regardless if it is a walkout basement or not. Propane is heavier than air and sinks, natural gas is lighter and rises. It is against building code to have a propane appliance in the basement unless there is a drain. Also, check your CSST tubes. They are the flexible pipe between the gas line and appliance for leaks at least annually. Not with soap, there is a special blue liquid that you are supposed to use. Soap breaks down the coating and may not always produce a bubble to indicate a leak. I am a home inspector and the floor drain is always a write up if it is missing. The advice to check for leaks annually is also included in every report.

What is your favorite barbecue joint?
Any 1 of the three smokers in my backyard. I can smoke meat better than any "Q" joint around. Moist, tender, perfect smoke ring every time. Ask anybody who has ever had it, they prefer mine over everybodies, no joke.

Former Kansas sheriff pleads to meth charges
One more thing. Since my old partners conviction, every arrest he ever made, every crime scene he was ever at, every action he made in and out of uniform is now suspect with me. Just as everything the Sheriff from Rooks County was involved with is now suspect with me. Criminals I dislike plain and simple, investigating them, charging them and watching them locked up pleases me very much. But when an LEO breaks the law, I am both saddened that they broke the public trust and disgusted to think that they managed in one way or another to ever wear a badge and uniform, to take an oath, to understand that they are an LEO and are accountable. But in the end, the DA either decides to not file charges or makes a plea deal, then the judge allows it all and orders a less than full and complete penalty. S9ometimes, as an LEO, I feel there should be special prisons for LEO's and all government employees/politicians where the penalties are severe and very few instances of protective custody cases allowed. LEO's should serve their time in the SHU from day one until their release date. Let retired LEO's run the special prison and supervise these officers who break the public trust.
