Thumbs Up: For the Hollister Police Department and other agencies who pitched in for security at the 8th Annual Independence Rally. There were arrests and DUIs, but the crowded rally – many are saying it was as big as they've ever seen – never got out of control. Police Chief Jeff Miller deserves a hand for planning enforcement that made sure the wild ones never got too wild. An especially good move was a gang crackdown beginning the Wednesday before the rally kicked off and lasting through the weekend. Police nabbed 25 people during gang sweeps. We're sure that contributed to a smooth event.
