Over last weekend sometime some-time someone went up the canyon and took white paint and painted over some of our petroglyphs (Indian writings). All of the people of Thompson are more than up set over such actions. To add to the insult and injury, the unkind person or persons also took a large rock and smashed and broke our water line. Our Indian writings were left for our generation and generations to follow to enjoy not destroy. As for our water line it cost money and man power for our small town to replace. If someone wishes to be destructive let them destroy their own property pro-perty not that of others. If you feel you must destroy something, some-thing, go throw rocks at your own car or break the windows out of your own house but leave other peoples things alone.
