Kansans must begin buckling belts today
By GEORGE NORTON Special to the Kansan
Kansans won't be able to get away with a simple warning anymore.
Starting today, Kansas state law says residents may have to pay the price, up to $10, for not wearing their seat belts.
Passed by the Kansas Legislature in July 1986, the law requires front-seat occupants in passenger cars to have their seat belts properly fastened while their vehicles are in motion.
For the first year after the law was passed, violators were issued only warnings.
"From last July 1 to May 31, we have issued 43,344 warning citations on Kansas highways," Terry Maple, spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol, said this week.
State and local police now can cite violators for failing to wear seat belts, but only if drivers have been stopped for other violations.
"According to state law, seat belt citations can only be given incident to being stopped for some type of moving violation." Lawrence Police Sgt.
David Cobb said.
Bill Henry, coordinator for the Kansas Coalition for Safety Belts, said Monday, "We did not think that simple education about wearing seat belts was doing the job. It was clear that more lives could be saved if seat-belt use could be made mandatory.
"Most recent surveys indicate that 27 percent of motorists on Kansas roads are using their seat belts."
Henry said road surveys were used to determine seat belt usage. He explained that a group of trained observers were assigned to watch specific intersections at the same times on varying days to collect data on belt use.
"We think the percentages would be higher if more surveys were done on the highway, since people tend to buckle up more on long trips," Henry said. "But it is more important to buckle up closer to home since there is a greater likelihood that accidents will occur within a 25-mile radius of home."

Safety Hints from your gas company. If you detect an odor you think may be natural gas-
(1) Open windows and doors to dilute the air to a safe level.
(2) Call for aid or advice from the gas company or fire department or police department
(3) If the odor appears to be very strong leave the house or building immediately. Go to a telephone and notify the gas company—do not turn on any electrical appliances, including light switches.
(4) When the problem is solved, have a qualified person from the gas company, plumbing or climate control firms relight appliances.
(5) In the event a leak is detected anywhere outside of a building notify the gas company immediately and describe the location and approximate level of the odor—a quick check of the area will be made to determine the problem and corrective action needed.
If you have any questions please contact our office.
