<DIV><BR></DIV>Keely,<BR><BR>You read more into this than is necessary. And
you are quick to jump to conclusions.<BR><BR>I just wanted those that may have
had boys at the scout camp to see the information. God forbid that this would
ever happen here at MSD. I wouldn't wish this on any one. <BR><BR>Just because
it is one teacher I am sure all of the other teachers or leaders are free from
this kind of perversion. I would never say that the principal of the school
was in any way involved or did he condone or hide from the public the actions
of this wretched individual. To imply this would be wrong and immoral, not to
mention in poor taste. <BR><BR>All folks involved, except the perpetrator,
should be free from implication and guilt by association. If I had wrongly
implicated any one in authority I would repent of my sin of slander and
apologize, in public to the leaders in question. I would take down my web page
that proclaimed falsehoods and I would cease and desist all of my wrong,
immoral actions.<BR><BR>The actions of one sour grape shouldn't reflect in any
way on the others associated with the group. We should, as Christian people,
take things at face value and then seek to help those that are affected by the
rotten situation. Compassion should be at the top of the list of things to do;
not retribution or vengeance.<BR><BR>I just don't want any agency, the scouts,
or the school system, or law enforcement, or the man's Church to be dragged
through the mud because they didn't say anything until later down the road.
One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole basket. You just pitch it out and that
keeps the other apples from getting infected or implicated in the
situation.<BR><BR>I hope that I cleared up any misunderstanding you may have.
I wouldn't want any of us to operate under two sets of standards. We should
act as Christians.<BR><BR>Thanks, Doug<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><B><I>keely

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.
<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Keely<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

sex abuse.<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">
<DIV><STRONG>Moscow, Idaho — Five additional charges of lewd and
lascivious conduct have been leveled against a Tumwater, Wash.,
man</STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV>Timothy Andrew Kellis is <STRONG>already charged with sexually
abusing boys at Camp Grizzly</STRONG>, a Boy Scout camp near Harvard in
Latah County.</DIV>
<DIV>Kellis, 38, is <STRONG>scheduled to appear in Moscow's
2<SUP>nd</SUP> 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</STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV>County Prosecutor William Thompson, Jr., said the <STRONG>new
charges stem from allegations by two additional victims</STRONG>. Lt.
Charlie Spencer of the Idaho State Police said <STRONG>parents of boys
who attended the camp are calling daily</STRONG>.</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>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</STRONG>, according to an Idaho State Police report. In
addition, he worked as an <STRONG>assistant director for the Clarkston
High School marching band from 1995 to 2006</STRONG>, and as a
<STRONG>Scout master in Clarkston</STRONG>, officials said.</DIV>
<DIV>Kellis was arrested April 12 in Moscow on the initial charges and
was released three days later after posting $25,000
bail.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
