MOSSY HOME BROKE INTO
• Police reported yesterday they are investigating a residential burglary in Mossyrock at the 400 block of James Street in which someone got inside by removing an air conditioning unit from a window. Unspecified electronic devices were stolen between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday, according to the Morton Police Department.
CHURCH BURGLARY
• Someone burglarized a church in the 100 block of Coleman Road in Mossyrock, a break-in that was reported to police last Wednesday evening. Missing is an electronic drum module and a sound mixer with speakers, according to the Morton Police Department.
CAR PROWL

PLATE PILFERED
• Centralia police were called to the 1800 block of Collision Street about 9:10 a.m. yesterday about a stolen license plate.
PEACEFUL PROTEST
• As many as 40 people gathered near the Hamilton sign next to Interstate 5 at Napavine yesterday morning for what Napavine Police Chief Chris Salyers described as a very non-violent protest. Salyers said he was summoned to the area off exit 72 only because a trooper who had gone there wasn’t answering the radio. They hung a large sign that had something to do with trans-gender health care and boycotting coal trains, he said. No one was arrested, he said, and they eventually left.
WOOD MILL CATCHES FIRE IN WINLOCK
• A star-gazing neighbor who caught sight of flames last night, called 911 and drove over to alert the resident-owner of a wood mill north of Winlock. “Fire District 5 was first on the scene and they were able to get a line on it and suppress it pretty quickly before it spread,” Lewis County Fire District 15 Assistant Chief Kevin Anderson said. It happened while she was photographing the moon about 11:15 p.m. Firefighters responded from Winlock, Toledo and Napavine to the 2200 block of Highway 603, near Anterim Road, according to Anderson. Damaged was one wall and one piece of equipment, he said. A fire investigator came out and it appears the fire could have started because the owner was welding earlier in the day, and something may have been smoldering, he said.
AIRLIFT FROM ONY
• An 18-year-old Onalaska resident who fell asleep behind the wheel was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle last night after his pickup truck crossed the centerline, struck a bridge and then went backwards over an embankment. The Dodge Dakota was totaled. It happened about 8:25 p.m. on the 200 block of Krueger Road in Onalaska, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said his 18-year-old passenger was uninjured. The driver was to be issued a citation for second-degree negligent driving, according to Brown.
