RIGHT NOW YOU CAN ONLY GET A SEAT BELT CITATION IF YOU ARE PULLED OVER FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THE FINE WILL ALSO DOUBLE TO $60. ANOTHER PART OF THE LAW WOULD REQUIRE ANYONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 14 TO WEAR THEIR SEATBELT. RIGHT NOW IT ONLY REQUIRES ADULTS IN THE FRONT SEATS.

COLD HANDS MAKE CATCHING BEAD DIFFICULT. DESPITE TEMPERATURES NOT GETTING MUCH HIGHER THAN 50 TODAY…THAT’S NOT STOPPING THE PARTY. LAST NIGHT PARADES WENT LATE INTO THE NIGHT AND PEOPLE STAYED ON BOURBON STREET UNTIL EVEN LATER. PEOPLE WERE ALSO STAKING OUT THEIR AREAS FOR THE FESTIVITIES TO RESUME TODAY AS MARDI GRAS GETS UNDERWAY.

ANXIETY WAS BUZZING THROUGHOUT SALINA AS THEY PREPARED FOR A BIG NAME TO COME SPEAK. NEWS DIRECTOR LAURA DUVAL WAS THERE TO SEE WHAT THE BUZZ WAS ALL ABOUT.
*ROLL PKG* 3:00
SALINA HELD THEIR ANNUAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE SALINA BICENTENNIAL CENTER.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SPOKE IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT CROWD OF SIX-THOUSAND PEOPLE.
BUT WHAT BROUGHT THIS HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE?
WITH JOKES ABOUT IT COULD BE A VAN HALEN CONCERT, WHY DID MOST PEOPLE COME?
*TO SEE SARAH PALIN. SARAH PALIN..*
YOU BETCHA - IT WAS VAN PALIN.
THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER OF THE NIGHT WAS FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR, FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, AND A NEW FOX NEWS CORRESTOPNDENT, SARAH PALIN.
PALIN BROUGHT HER ENTOURAGE, HER DAUGHTER PIPER, WITH HER.
BEFORE PALIN EVEN SPOKE, ANTICIPATION GREW IN THE CENTER AS CHAIRMAN ELECT TODD DAVIDSON SPOKE…
MISS KANSAS PLAYED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ON THE TRUMPET…
AND SALINA AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT DENNIS LAUVER MADE SURE EVERYONE KNEW “THIS WAS THE LARGEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING EVER.”
AND HE DIDN’T MEAN JUST IN SALINA…HE MEANT EVER.
THEN THERE WAS JUST ONE PERSON STANDING BETWEEN PALIN AND HER SIX-THOUSAND SUPPORTERS… CONGRESSMAN JERRY MORAN.
WHILE INTRODUCING HER, HE WELCOMED HER TO KANSAS. HE LET HER KNOW SHE’D FIT RIGHT IN BECAUSE “WE’RE AVID HUNTERS.”
HE THEN SET HER UP BY SAYING, “SHE’S AS CLOSE TO RONALD REAGAN AS WE ARE TODAY.”
DURING PALIN’S 40-MINUTE SPEECH, SHE TOUCHED ON MANY POLITICAL TOPICS INCLUDING THE FARMING INDUSTRY, THE CHRISTMAS TERRORIST, AND THE WAR IN IRAQ.
MANY OF THESE HIT HOME FOR THE AUDIENCE LIKE SALINA RESIDENT LORETTA REECE….
"MADE A LOT OF SENSE. EMPHASIZE WITH HER ABOUT HER SON COMING BACK FROM DEPLOYMENT..."
WITH HOOTS AND HOLLERS COMING FROM THE ONLOOKERS THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE SPEECH, PALIN RECIEVED A STANDING OVATION WHEN SHE SAID “WE NEED A COMMANDER IN CHIEF, NOT A PROFESSOR OF CONSTITUTION LAW.”
THE NIGHT CAME TO AN END WITH MISS KANSAS ONCE AGAIN ON THE TRUMPET PLAYING GOD BLESS AMERICA.
AFTERWARDS SALINA NATIVE ROBERT EATON REFLECTED ON PALIN’S SPEECH
"I THINK SHE HAS A LOT OF GOOD POINTS. THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE COMMON SENSE IN GOV. AND WASHINGTON. THERE’RE OVER THINKING THINGS."
AND DONALD HARMONSON AGREED
"I THOUGHT IT WAS SO REFRESHING TO HAVE SOMEONE SO FRESH LIKE THAT. I WISH THERE WERE A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER TALKING IN WASHINGTON."
AND WHEN HARMONSON WAS ASKED IF HE THOUGHT SHE WAS THE NEXT RONALD REAGAN HIS SISTER CHIMED IN WITH, “SHE’S MUCH PRETTIER”
AT THE SALINA BICENTENNIAL CENTER, LAURA DUVAL, KSDB NEWS.
PALIN WILL BE BACK IN KANSAS AGAIN MAY SECOND TO SPEAK AT A FUNDRAISER FOR BETHEL LIFE SCHOOL. PICTURES WILL BE UP ON OUR BLOG SOON.

SALINA HELD THEIR ANNUAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE SALINA BICENTENNIAL CENTER.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SPOKE IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT CROWD OF SIX-THOUSAND PEOPLE.
BUT WHAT BROUGHT THIS HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE?
WITH JOKES ABOUT IT COULD BE A VAN HALEN CONCERT, WHY DID MOST PEOPLE COME?
*TO SEE SARAH PALIN. SARAH PALIN..*
YOU BETCHA - IT WAS VAN PALIN.
THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER OF THE NIGHT WAS FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR, FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, AND A NEW FOX NEWS CORRESTOPNDENT, SARAH PALIN.
PALIN BROUGHT HER ENTOURAGE, HER DAUGHTER PIPER, WITH HER.
BEFORE PALIN EVEN SPOKE, ANTICIPATION GREW IN THE CENTER AS CHAIRMAN ELECT TODD DAVIDSON SPOKE…
MISS KANSAS PLAYED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ON THE TRUMPET…
AND SALINA AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT DENNIS LAUVER MADE SURE EVERYONE KNEW “THIS WAS THE LARGEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING EVER.”
AND HE DIDN’T MEAN JUST IN SALINA…HE MEANT EVER.
THEN THERE WAS JUST ONE PERSON STANDING BETWEEN PALIN AND HER SIX-THOUSAND SUPPORTERS… CONGRESSMAN JERRY MORAN.
WHILE INTRODUCING HER, HE WELCOMED HER TO KANSAS. HE LET HER KNOW SHE’D FIT RIGHT IN BECAUSE “WE’RE AVID HUNTERS.”
HE THEN SET HER UP BY SAYING, “SHE’S AS CLOSE TO RONALD REAGAN AS WE ARE TODAY.”
DURING PALIN’S 40-MINUTE SPEECH, SHE TOUCHED ON MANY POLITICAL TOPICS INCLUDING THE FARMING INDUSTRY, THE CHRISTMAS TERRORIST, AND THE WAR IN IRAQ.
MANY OF THESE HIT HOME FOR THE AUDIENCE LIKE SALINA RESIDENT LORETTA REECE….
"MADE A LOT OF SENSE. EMPHASIZE WITH HER ABOUT HER SON COMING BACK FROM DEPLOYMENT..."
WITH HOOTS AND HOLLERS COMING FROM THE ONLOOKERS THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE SPEECH, PALIN RECIEVED A STANDING OVATION WHEN SHE SAID “WE NEED A COMMANDER IN CHIEF, NOT A PROFESSOR OF CONSTITUTION LAW.”
THE NIGHT CAME TO AN END WITH MISS KANSAS ONCE AGAIN ON THE TRUMPET PLAYING GOD BLESS AMERICA.
AFTERWARDS SALINA NATIVE ROBERT EATON REFLECTED ON PALIN’S SPEECH
"I THINK SHE HAS A LOT OF GOOD POINTS. THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE COMMON SENSE IN GOV. AND WASHINGTON. THERE’RE OVER THINKING THINGS."
AND DONALD HARMONSON AGREED
"I THOUGHT IT WAS SO REFRESHING TO HAVE SOMEONE SO FRESH LIKE THAT. I WISH THERE WERE A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER TALKING IN WASHINGTON."
AND WHEN HARMONSON WAS ASKED IF HE THOUGHT SHE WAS THE NEXT RONALD REAGAN HIS SISTER CHIMED IN WITH, “SHE’S MUCH PRETTIER”
AT THE SALINA BICENTENNIAL CENTER, LAURA DUVAL, KSDB NEWS.
PALIN WILL BE BACK IN KANSAS AGAIN MAY SECOND TO SPEAK AT A FUNDRAISER FOR BETHEL LIFE SCHOOL. PICTURES WILL BE UP ON OUR BLOG SOON.
