Both Strides and Regression in HSD
The following people, organizations or events deserve either a thumbs up or thumbs down this week:
Hollister is the Cool Word in Clothing
While cruising around Disneyland earlier this month with the family, I couldn't stop doing double-takes every time I saw the word "Hollister" on a T-shirt. And it happened a lot.
Mobile Library is a Wise Investment
The last full year of the county bookmobile's service, it logged more than 4,000 miles, attracted more than 2,500 users, while people checked out more than 4,300 items.
Caution Good, But State Should Pay
In the case of voting, the emblem of democracy, doubt is cause for alarm and immediate reform. Even for a steep price.
Ready or Not, School is Almost in Session
The ticking of the clock is getting louder; the hourglass has almost run out; the bell is about to ring; kids are about to groan and parents are about to rejoice. It's time for school again.
Downtown Hollister Needs a Makeover
Most of the time I am optimistic. I prefer to praise rather than complain. Or if I complain, I like to be able to suggest a solution.
COG, District Move Fast to Fix Problem
A teachers' union raised concerns about safety of kids walking to and from school near the Highway 25 bypass construction.
