COMMENTARY: Musings From the Middle Fork Is Leadership Really the Problem at 911 Center? The recent stories about the 911 Center were a little short on details so understanding exactly what’s wrong isn’t easy to understand. What we’ve read is the county made a management change four months ago, and spent some money. It sounded like a lot of money trying to address the concerns. Now, after four months, Centralia Police Chief Carl Nielsen described it as “… actually falling apart because of a lack of leadership …” That sounds pretty serious, but is it really that bad? I read through both articles a couple times and it’s clear the level of frustration is high on both sides, but it’s not clear why. Statements that suggest they’re not putting too much blame on either Steve Walton or David Anderson, while also suggest- ing the dispatchers are “the finest men and women working in dispatch,” rings hollow and disingenuous given what’s being said about them. If they aren’t blaming them, then whom do they see as the problem? It was the dispatcher they couldn’t understand or didn’t hear the request for a license plate check.

The annual survey of beekeepers showed the winter colony loss rate was 28 percent, up from 22 percent. That's about average over the past decade but higher than the 17 percent that beekeepers call acceptable. But it is still lower than the peak rate of 36 percent nine years ago. "They continue not to do well and we really need to double our efforts to figure out why," University of Maryland bee scientist and survey leader Den- nis vanEngelsdorp said. "Now you're losing well beyond what's normal." The figures come from a survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and others. It includes 5,756 beekeepers, which represent about 5 percent of the nation's 2.7 million commercial colonies. In this April 20, 2015, ile photo, honeybees gather at the entrance to their new hive on the lawn of the Governor's Mansion, at the Capitol in Olympia.
