I'm proud of you, Doug.  You were able to find the word "Moscow" in this story, and even put the dateline and the header together to make it look like an MSD problem.  You've learned well, grasshopper.  

Now I'll do my part:  If Kellis is guilty, he is a predator, a sick and bad, bad man.  Now I hope that officials in Tumwater, Craigmont, and Clarkston do the right thing and notify parents and neighbors that this man had worked in their communities.  The Boy Scouts need to do the same thing -- notify parents and anyone else whose kids might have come into contact with him during a Boy Scout activity -- and then humbly acknowledge the thanks of a grateful community for doing their best to be responsible and considerate.

 Moscow, Idaho — Five additional charges of lewd and lascivious conduct have been leveled against a Tumwater, Wash., man. Timothy Andrew Kellis is already charged with sexually abusing boys at Camp Grizzly, a Boy Scout camp near Harvard in Latah County. Kellis, 38, is scheduled to appear in Moscow's 2nd District Court on Thursday on one count of sexual abuse of a child younger than 16 and two counts of lewd conduct with a minor younger than 16. County Prosecutor William Thompson, Jr., said the new charges stem from allegations by two additional victims. Lt. Charlie Spencer of the Idaho State Police said parents of boys who attended the camp are calling daily. Kellis, a band leader at A.G. West Black High School in Tumwater, worked as a teacher at Highland High School in Craigmont from
 2001 to 2006, according to an Idaho State Police report. In addition, he worked as an assistant director for the Clarkston High School marching band from 1995 to 2006, and as a Scout master in Clarkston, officials said. Kellis was arrested April 12 in Moscow on the initial charges and was released three days later after posting $25,000 bail.
