Students Illustrate Transit Alternatives
Although too young to drive, many Ventura County youths are very concerned about traffic and smog from cars.
That’s the conclusion reached by the Ventura County Transportation Commission after receiving more than 2,500 entries in its annual contest asking students to illustrate “A Better Way to Go the Distance.”
An array of colorful entries reviewed by the commission show commuters skating, jogging or taking the bus to work.
The winners received new bicycles donated by a local shop.
The top entries will be featured in a 1995 calendar.
To order a copy, call the commission at 654-2888.
The first-place winners are kindergarten: Heather Wilson, First Lutheran School, Camarillo; first grade: Nicole Casey, Santa Clara School, Santa Paula; second grade: Eileen Kwan, Hollow Hills School, Simi Valley.
Third grade: Amber Durrell, Sacred Heart School, Ventura; fourth grade: Jeffrey Gluck, Cornerstone Christian School, Camarillo; fifth grade: Kristin Van Fleet, Madera School, Simi Valley.
Sixth grade: Sara Lady, Chaparral Middle School, Moorpark; seventh grade: Patrick Dillon, Anacapa Middle School, Ventura; high school: Donovan Wheaton, Channel Islands High School.
