THUMBS UP: For the Hollister Police cracking down on helmet law violations. In April, reporter Kollin Kosmicki wrote a story showing that police had only issued 12 tickets in the prior 16 months. Since then, police have handed out 62 tickets to people not wearing a helmet while skating on city streets or in skate parks. Chief Jeff Miller deserves credit for asking his officers to step up enforcement. While wearing a helmet might cramp some people's style, and getting a ticket is a drag, they serve a good purpose – keeping people safe. Danny Yetter of Hollister died in 2001 after a skate boarding accident. His death may have been prevented if he was wearing a helmet. Avoiding another tragic death is a must, and the police are doing their part.
