Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer contested the release of Michael D. Salazar, 18, of Randle, who had reached a plea agreement with the state in May that dropped the sec- ond-degree murder charge he was facing. Meyer argued that based on the allegations, Salazar should not be released.

By Celene Fitzgerald [email protected] The usual ARTrails of South- west Washington event, a jour- ney through the home studios of over two dozen local artists, has gone virtual this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to help make up for the lost ex- perience of seeing art in person, several local artists have planned a Centralia downtown art event on the same weekends as the AR- Trails studio tours. The event is scheduled for the last two weekends in September — 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 19, 20, 26 and 27. Artwork will be on dis- play and available for purchase at the Rectangle Art Gallery at 209 N. Tower Ave. Rectangle Gallery owner Jan Nontell said that she is planning to have some artists come in per- son to the gallery to talk with gallery spectators about their art and possibly give a live demon- stration. A few doors down from the gallery, at 211 N. Tower Ave., Fruffles, a home decor store, will be hosting about five artists and their work which will also be available for purchase. “It’s going to be a couple of weekends where people can come Celene Fitzgerald / [email protected] into the gallery, look at some art Art hangs in the Rectangle Gallery. and maybe talk to some of the artists.
