Arrest follows vandalism incident

Revenge over a judgment of
cider conservatorship was
thought to be the motive for
vandalism at the Warm Springs
Senior Center the evening of
Friday, June 3. Two rocks about
the size of softballs were thrown
through the windows of two
front offices at the center, lo
cated on I ligh Lookee Road.
Warm Springs Police at ar
rested Randy Yahtin, Jr., 22, at
about 9:30 p.m., after he was
discovered in a patch of high
grass below the Agency
Longhouse.
An alarm system at the se
nior center alerted police, and
the police called Lucille
Schuster, supervisor of senior
citizen representatives at about
9:15 p.m.
When she arrived at the cen
ter, she found the broken win
dows but no further damage.
Nothing was taken from the
center, but Senior Center Direc
tor Elton Greeley said he esti
mated about $5,000 in damage
from the vandalism.
According to Warm Springs
Police, Yahtin was spotted run
ning down the hill from the Se
nior Center toward Elliott
I Ieights. Me was chased on foot
to Hollywood Street and across
Kot Num Road. He then
jumped into a creek bed by the
longhouse.
Police Sgt. Sam Williams and
patrol officer Adclita Zacharias
found Yahtin hiding in the high
grass and arrested him. Accord
ing to a police report, Yahtin was
under the influence of alcohol
at the time of the arrest.
The Senior Center has been
a target of break-ins in the past,
when different electronic items,
such as videocassette recorders,
have been taken. Wilson Wewa,
a senior citizens representative,
said the center's big-screen tele
vision was taken once. The cul
prits packed it off to a residence
in the West Hills neighborhood
before it was recovered.
Wewa said a court judgment
Students post great scores
There was good news re
cently from the Warm
Springs Elementary School.
The third-grade class at
the school had the best-ever
overall showing on the state
benchmark tests.
The state tests show how
the students are doing in
math and reading.
At Warm Springs El
ementary School this year, 84
percent of the third-graders
met or exceeded the math
test standard.
In reading, 80 percent of
the students met or exceeded
the state standard.
"More students met the
state benchmarks this year
than ever before," said el
ementary school principal
Dawn Smith.
involving elder abuse, and re
sulting in conservatorship from
the previous Tuesday, may have
led to the vandalism.
"It may have been in retalia
tion," Wewa said. "The person
may have gotten worked up and
angry. We were just doing our
job."
By the Monday morning fol
lowing the .vandalism, the bro
ken glass had been cleaned up,
and the windows covered with
plywood. About one-third of the
310 tribal members age 60 and
over participate in activities at
the Warm Springs Senior Center.
