This Clarice Paul housing area home and the playground shelter across the street from it were hit by graffiti vandals almost two weeks ago, on the night of Jan. 6.

The home is going to need new steel siding on this south wall, to the tune of more than $1,000, according to Salish Kootenai Housing Authority officials. Tribal Chief of Police Craige Couture reports that there are apparently no witnesses to this incident.

Police are seeing similar graffiti in Ronan, Pablo and various tribal homesites around the reservation, he said. Anyone with information about this or other graffiti vandalism is asked to contact Tribal Police, 675-4700, or SKHA, 675-4491.
