Nakai was one of five students awarded grand prizes in the 14th Annual Safety Belt Awareness Program, sponsored by the Craig Police Department and organized by St. John. The program rewards high school students for buckling their seatbelt while driving. Other winners were Challyn Pfifer, back left, a senior who won a set of Dayton tires; Alex McKey, a junior who won a 19-inch Sharp LCD high-definition television; Keith Fenton, a junior who won a Pioneer in-dash car stereo; and Katy Nottingham, a junior who won a gift certificate for $100 worth of gas.
