MONEY GONE UP IN SMOKE
Warm Springs police are investigating this vandalism at D ry
Creek campground which occurred in March. A group of
individuals used one o f the picnic tables at the campground to
build a bonfire. A ll tables are property o f the Confederated
Tribes. “Everytime people destory tribal property they are taking
money from each tribal member, because it is the people’s money
that pays fo r the property.’’stated Cecil Brunoe, Parks and
Recreation officer. The picnic table cost $500 and made a pretty
expensive bonfire. According to Brunoe, this is not the first time
tables have been destoryed in this manner.
