LOCAL SCHOOLS AFFECTED BY SEX CRIMES Teacher and boyfriend of principal charged with felonies BY TERRY SMITH

private school in Sun Valley and a public school in Hailey have suffered taints to their reputations within the past few weeks by allegations of sex crimes committed by two separate men against the same 13-year-old boy. The allegations are against a former seventh-grade teacher at Community School in Sun Valley and the former boyfriend of the principal at Alturas Elementary School in southeast Hailey. Both suspects have been charged with felony sex crimes, while the principal remains on duty and has been cleared of any wrongdoing. The events, along with the Oct. 26 suicide of a local 14-year-old boy, have left many people in the Wood River Valley somewhat in shock, considering the ages of the boys and that one of them is now dead. The suicide is being investigated by local police agencies, but they report that they have found no connection between the boy’s death and the sex crime allegations involving the other youth. Nonetheless, both boys were students at Community School and were good friends. Latest charges The latest allegations surfaced last week when Craig Howard Lee, a 47-year-old Bellevue man, was arrested and charged with two counts of rape of an underage person for allegedly having intercourse with the 13-yearold boy, a former Community School seventh-grader who is no longer enrolled at the school. A probable cause affidavit filed by Ketchum Police Detective Kristen Quinton states that Lee had intercourse with the boy on at least two occasions in early September at the Tator Tots Children’s Boutique in Ketchum. According to court records, Lee, who has lived in the Wood River Valley for about two years, having moved here from Salt Lake City, is part owner of Tator Tots but is in the process of selling his interest in the store. Quinton wrote in her report that Lee and the boy became acquainted through Grindr, an Internet and cellphone application used by gay men to find sex partners. Use of Grindr does not require proof of identification or age. Lee was arrested on Oct. 27 in a joint operation by the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office and Ketchum Police. He was formally charged with two counts of rape at an initial court appearance on Oct. 28 in Blaine County Magistrate Court before Judge Jennifer L.K. Haemmerle, who set bond at $150,000 and assigned Hailey attorney Cheri Hicks as public defender. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Nov. 19. Lee remained incarcerated Tuesday in the Blaine County jail. On Thursday, Oct. 29, the

Blaine County School District revealed that Lee is the former “domestic partner” of Alturas Elementary School Principal Brad Henson, who is popularly referred to as “Principal Brad.” District Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes called a meeting for parents for 7:45 a.m. that day to discuss the issue. She stated that Henson and Lee have now separated and she made it clear that no allegations have been made against Henson. “I had a very rough, tough

the school only since August, had contact with the boy in mid-September, again through Grindr, and sent him nude photos of himself. Donaldson has not been charged with any physical crimes against the boy but has been charged with the felony crime of sexual abuse of a minor. His arrest came on Sept 29, the same day he was terminated from employment at Community School. Donaldson, originally from Arvada, Colo., is currently free on $75,000 bond. His next court appearance is a preliminary hearing set for Dec. 7. Community School released the following statement last week following allegations that the boy was victimized by a second man: “We are doing all we can to support the family involved in the incident with Mr. Donaldson. Out of respect for the family as they process this new information regarding Mr. Lee, and due to the ongoing investigation by the authorities, we have no further information to share at this time regarding that situation.”

I had a very rough, tough conversation with Principal Brad, where I asked a lot of personal questions so that I could feel assured about whether there had been any time our children could have been at risk.” GwenCarol Holmes Superintendent, Blaine County School District conversation with Principal Brad, where I asked a lot of personal questions so that I could feel assured about whether there had been any time our children could have been at risk,” Holmes said. “And I feel very comfortable that there was not that exposure to our children. “This is something that came completely out of the blue, and completely {as a} shock to him, as well a lot of us,” Holmes said. “That is about all I can tell you at this time, other than Principal Brad is cooperating with authorities.” Henson has served as principal at Alturas since 2009. Earlier charge Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey and Sun Valley Assistant Police Chief Mike Crawford confirmed that the case against Lee arose from an earlier case involving the same boy and former seventh-grade Community School teacher, 23-year-old Kevin Carter Donaldson. Ramsey and Crawford said investigators learned about a possible second perpetrator when questioning the boy about his involvement with Donaldson. According to police reports, Donaldson, who had worked at

Suicide investigation Community School also released a statement last week regarding the Oct. 26 suicide, committed by a boy who was a student at the school:. “Community School is deeply mourning the loss of one of its eighth-grade students. This news is heartbreaking for all of us. It has profoundly affected our school community and larger community. There are no words to adequately describe the range of emotions we are experiencing at this difficult time.” The Blaine County Coroner’s Office reported that the boy died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head from a high-caliber rifle at about 8 p.m. on Oct.26 at the boy’s home at Lane Ranch south of Ketchum. Crawford said police have found no connection between the boy’s death and the criminal investigation involving the 13-year-old boy. Nonetheless, the investigation is not over. “At this time we do not believe it’s connected,” Crawford said. “But we’re still talking to people, and trying to get as much information as we can.” tws

3D MAMMOGRAPHY AVAILABLE AT ST. LUKE’S

Through the generosity of its donors, St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation has purchased a 3D mammography machine that allows doctors to examine beast tissue one layer at a time St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center reported in a press release that the new 3D technology was approved by the FDA in February of 2011 and represents a “new tool in the fight against breast cancer.” “We are truly grateful to our community for making stateof-the-art technology available to our community,” said Megan Thomas, chief development officer for St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. According to the press release, the 3D mammogram system uses a comparable dose of X-ray radiation as a 2D system. Both types of machines emit radiation that is safely below American College of Radiology and FDA guidelines. As part of its commitment to health, the foundation is helping subsidize the higher costs of 3D mammography by covering the costs of the procedure that are not covered by insurance.

DRUG COALITION LOSES FEDERAL FUNDING Organization to seek other sources to continue mission

BY TERRY SMITH

he Blaine County Community Drug Coalition learned recently that the organization is losing federal funding worth $125,000 annually for preventative programs to help keep kids from using illegal drugs and alcohol. “We don’t know why, or the reason,” Michael David, executive director for the Drug Coalition said Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate, because we use the money for environmental strategies for prevention.” David said the actual loss in funding will amount to $625,000 over the next five years because the grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Health Services Administration was in the last half of a 10-year grant cycle.

The Drug Coalition previously received $125,000 per year from the agency for the past five years. David said the funding in the past was used for prevention awareness and education programs, alcohol compliance checks at local businesses, turnin programs for prescription drugs, programs to prevent access to drugs and alcohol and in helping put together social hosting ordinances that make it a crime for underage people to be served alcohol at social gatherings. With an annual budget of about $500,000, the loss in federal funding represents about a 25 percent cut in funding to the Drug Coalition. The Drug Coalition also relies

on funding from a grant from the State of Idaho, donations and funds raised from the annual Sun Valley Road Rally. David said one job has already been lost because of the federal cut; however, he expects to be able to retain the existing staff of three full-time and five parttime people. David said the cut in funding did not come as a complete surprise because the Substance Abuse and Health Services Administration has been gradually cutting back funding for preventative programs in order to retain money for treatment programs. With the cut, David said Idaho is the only state in the union without a Substance Abuse and Health Services Administration grant.

“It’s kind of sad because we need preventative programs here,” he said. Nonetheless, David said he remains optimistic of the Drug Coalition programs and will seek other funding to keep some of the preventative programs going. “My hope is that we can come up with funding for what was lost,” David said. The Blaine County Community Drug Coalition was founded in 2007 by various community members and organizations to actively facilitate and develop “programs and strategies for preventing underage substance abuse in order to increase the health and safety of our community, focusing on our youth.” tws

FACEBOOK SOLVES OUT-OF-COUNTRY HEALTH PROBLEM

Ketchum man treated for potentially fatal blood clot BY DICK DORWORTH

ast month, Ketchum resident Jeff Wirtanen took a vacation from his job as a bartender at the Pioneer Saloon in Ketchum and went to Bali. During the long flight to Indonesia, Wirtanen developed deep-vein thrombosis, referred to as DVT, a painful and potentially fatal blood clot in a deep vein. Upon landing, Wirtanen sought and received medical help. He was prescribed a heavy-duty anticoagulant that prevents the formation of blood clots, but Wirtanen was not happy with his situation. SATURDAY “Blood thinners freak me out, NOV. 7 and there were just too many 9 AM - 5 PM risky situations in Bali,” he said, CLOSED FRIDAY, NOV. 6 including “broken glass on the beaches everywhere, drunken people on scooters everywhere, etc.” Thus, he decided to cut his vaGet ready cation short and come home to for winter at seek medical treatment.

Jeff phoned me a few days later; he had just arrived at LAX and was en route to Ketchum. I was driving to Boise and I told him to phone SLWR’s Center for Community Health in Hailey and that they would help get him scheduled with a PCP. He saw Dr. Delgado the next day.” Wirtanen says of this experience: “I was more than happy when Brent and, later, Joy, helped answer my random questions. It was reassuring to know they weren’t just giving me canned answers and were actually listening to my concerns. “I’m on Facebook every day, but I’ve never used it for any medical problems,” he said. “This was a very random situation. My biggest concern was getting home safely from Bali and getting an appointment as soon as possible. “I had been placed on a heavy drug and was a little concerned that I missed something with the language barrier,” he said. “I was super happy simply knowing it wouldn’t be a problem getting an appointment the moment I returned home to make sure I was on the right path. “I think social media is another great tool that healthcare can use for caring for its patients,” Wirtanen said. “Sometimes, especially when traveling, it’s tough to use a phone or email. But it’s amazing how the Internet is everywhere these days. “I’m actually trying to salvage my vacation,” he said. “I’m on my way to Seattle for the two weeks.” tws

Leslie Rego, “Norway Maple Leaves,” sidewalk, Main Street, Ketchum, nib pen and sumi ink, watercolor

Ketchum Main Street ‘Hike’ BY LESLIE REGO

The leaves have begun to curl into themselves, leaving indentations, wrinkles and ragged edges. Some leaves have dark brown spots and holes. The colors are a mixture of bright red, deep rust brown, and a combination of summer green mixed in with autumn yellow. Buried amongst the leaves are darker ones that have begun to crinkle, leaving cutout edges as if they had been bitten into. Many have completed their journey to brown. The leaves cluster under their respective trees, creating spots of color that light up the sidewalk. A few leaves still cling to the branches, but mostly they have resigned themselves to the end of autumn and lie peacefully at the foot of the tree. As Thoreau writes in Autumnal Tints, “It is pleasant to walk over the beds of these fresh, crisp, and rustling leaves. How beautifully they go to their graves!”

arly this morning I “hiked” along Main Street in Ketchum to experience the beautiful abundance of bright yellow and red leaves that carpet the sidewalk. These leaves catch the early morning light and sparkle. They have fallen at the height of their color, laying down a streak of Indian yellow and Indian red to go along with the Indian summer of the last few weeks. I walk along the sidewalk kicking at the leaves, enjoying the rustling sound they make, which brings back so many childhood memories. This is a sound I would instantly recognize even if I were not in the midst of creating the susurration. The shape of the leaves – jagged, with deep indentations – immediately identifies the trees as some kind of maple. Inquiring at city hall, I learn that lining the street are several varieties of the Norway maple. Leslie Rego is an artist and The shape of the leaf is as much Blaine County resident.

‘SICARIO’

The War on Drugs BY JONATHAN KANE

“

Sicario” is one badass movie. And if you need the definition of a movie star, look no further than Benicio del Toro’s electrifying performance in the film, which should earn him a second Academy Award. Directed brilliantly by Denis Villeneuve, in his third English feature, the movie takes us into the world of the Mexican drug cartels and the futile war the U.S. is waging with them on the border. In “Sicario,” there are no winners or losers, only damage control or, as del Toro informs FBI agent Em-

ily Blunt as they take off illegally across the border, “Nothing will make sense to your American ears and you will doubt everything that we do.” It’s through Blunt’s eyes that we view the film. A young agent working the Arizona side of the border tracking down kidnap victims, she is soon enticed to join a multi-agency task force that is going after the bigger fish. That force is led by the nefarious Josh Brolin, who tells her that their job is to “create chaos” and hopefully shake the big game out into the open. His right-hand man is the mysterious del Toro, who will only say that he is a former

prosecutor. What makes the movie so goo its seamless blend of an art-ho flick with a tremendous action m ie, with Villeneuve never taking foot off the pedal. The centerpi action scene where they try to a captured drug lord back into U.S. is one of the best in rec memory, as is the pacing and t sion of a night-vision attack o drug tunnel.

ometimes when I sit at my laptop to write, I take a few minutes to “warm up” by playing a game of Scrabble. I rationalize the inaction by telling myself that I am at least working with words. Lately, that behavior has spread to anything that I want to put off doing. I certainly know better but find my absorption in doing anything BUT so evident that even I have to laugh at a description of my recent indulgence. I started my challenging chore by putting out all the notes and papers needed on my dining room table, added my computer, plugged in my phone and then took a bathroom break. While there, I saw the nail polish job I had started the evening before and saw what a mess I had made, so I rearranged those supplies, and then noted that the shelf holding them was in a similar mess, so reorganized more items. Back to my computer, I reviewed some notes and then thought I should check and consolidate my several to-do lists so that I wouldn’t miss anything necessary for my work. That chore involved several minutes, including taking to my condominium trash area the papers gathered from the past week. When I returned, I saw my new New Yorker and remembered that an article that might apply to my subject was in one of the issues piled up by my bed. Going through the last 10 months of New Yorkers sufficiently took more time than warranted, especially since I decided to cut out and save other interesting articles so they wouldn’t remain hidden in the growing pile Courtesy photo of unfinished readJoEllen Collins—a longtime ings.

During this time, I kept seeing things that needed attention: dead and new batteries mixed in my drawer, a shabby list of my passwords requiring revision, catalogs I should have thrown away (another note to myself: find the website to cancel those), and my chaotic collection of new and old teas that should be winnowed down. The latter occurred as I thought a good “cup-a” would spur me to my task. I eventually completed my required writing job, but I spent many minutes wasted on angst over not getting to it sooner and an emotional package of unnecessary fear about the project itself, an assignment I actually did rather well and in a shorter time than anticipated. When I was through, I pondered my behavior. Is this just part of “the absent-minded professor” person my mother always called me, or is it a component of my unique creative process, one suitable for the student who did better under pressure? At any rate, I did accomplish a lot of silly stuff done while procrastinating and even had time to write a new list of to-dos! tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR novembeR 4 FRom picabo angleR

ow-pressure systems are upon us! This is great news for anglers looking to catch great numbers of fish – just make sure you have a warm coat and a rain jacket when you head to the river. Nymphing and Streamer fishing are the techniques to go to this week, as the colder, wetter weather should effectively shut down most of the season’s hatches. If you’re in the right place at the right time, you may find some Fall Baetis activity under the clouds, but don’t expect daily occurrences of this bug. It’s not quite fall, and not quite winter, so the Midge activity we associate with the snow and the awesome hatches provided by this insect won’t materialize in numbers large enough to get the fish up. Your best fly choices are going to come from your nymph box; Red Copper Johns, Bead Head Prince Nymphs, Black Back Hares Ears, and smallish Pheasant Tails are the way to go. Fish these under an indicator and concentrate on thigh- to waist-deep riffles. Brown trout on Silver Creek are in full-blown spawning mode, so be careful where you step so as not to disturb their redds. You may also find redds on the Big Wood. They are oval shaped and the gravels are swept clean. Now, with that said, keep in mind the river systems are filling with brown and brook trout eggs, so fishing bright orange and red nymph patterns is going to bring a lot of attention to your fly. Please keep an eye on the weather if you are going to travel to the Lost or South Fork of the Boise rivers this week. Snow in the forecast could happen at any time. Have your vehicle winter ready! This is certainly a week to take some time off the water and start thinking about saltwater destinations (Picabo Angler can help with that!). Also start tying flies for winter, and start replacing those old fly lines, boot laces, leaders and nets. This is also a great week to start making that wish list for Christmas presents and leaving it in strategic places around your house or vehicle! Just saying... Overall, expect rivers to be void of other anglers this week, but don’t give up on excellent fishing. Fish love and respond well to low-pressure systems, and with the cold nights lowering water temperatures, all the fish are going to key in on getting fat for winter! Happy fishing, everyone!

IS THIS YOUR DOG? Holiday manners

BY FRAN JEWELL

ot long ago, I shared a holiday meal with some very dear friends. As we brought the food into the dining room and placed the beautiful bowls and platters of scrumptious prime rib and all the trimmings on the table, I saw their beloved Labrador retriever sniffing the table and then LICK the sides of each bowl and some of the juice on the platter! The dog wasn’t really tall enough to do it gracefully, but stood slightly on her back legs to reach the bowls. I was appalled! I was DISGUSTED! A little while later, while we were saying a prayer before dinner, Lucky the Lab stood next to my plate, happily panting all over my food, waiting for me to give her a bite. My stomach turned. Both of my friends saw the gestures from their beloved dog and said nothing. I tried politely to ask, “Is this an okay thing for your dog to do?” I wondered if they wanted me to push the dog away or if they would be offended if I had. I truthfully wasn’t sure what to say, but I had to say something! Both of them said, “Well, we do feed her from the table sometimes.”

This is a true story! Then they invited me to Christmas dinner and I was able to gracefully decline since I had already made other plans. I am not exactly sure how this behavior can be acceptable to anyone, let alone to anyone that wants to spend a delightful holiday with guests. As a guest, it is incredibly difficult to enjoy a meal with a dog’s tongue in it or hot stinky breath panting on it. Let’s not forget how dangerous this can be for a dog that has learned good things come from licking the table or stealing food. If a dog decides to grab a meat-covered knife, the rest of the holiday could be spent at the vet! Frankly, I know many people that are totally embarrassed by their dog’s unacceptable behavior while family members and guests are dining, but don’t really know what to do to stop it. This is not only a case for management, but training as well. There are so many wonderful management solutions to this problem. Management might include boarding the dog for the night. It could mean using a leash tied to a heavy piece of furniture with a bed for the dog to lie down on. A long-term treat like a bully

stick or a stuffed Kong toy can effectively keep your dog occupied and away from the dinner table. Even a crate in another room with a long-term treat will usually work. But, most effective is doing some training ahead of time. My favorite is teaching a dog to go to a bed and stay there during a meal. The most effective means for your dog is to be practiced ahead of time, long before your guests arrive, so you can be sure your dog doesn’t bark or beg through the entire meal. It’s the beginning of November and

only a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. Plan ahead, not only for your meal, invitations, and seating arrangements, but to work with your dog so everyone enjoys that wonderful holiday meal!

MEET THE NEW ETCS

By Travis Swanson and Cade Schott

hat is an ETC? We are [Every Teen has a Choice] interns who work for The Advocates. Our job is to educate people about healthy relationships and provide them with the tools and services needed to build safe lives. You know, when we first joined the ETCs we were both absolutely surprised at how many people did not know the basic aspects of a healthy relationship. However, we were even more taken aback when we realized how many people who do know these aspects apply them to their own relationships. Let’s just say the number is very little. We spend a lot of time going into the schools and working with children. Being a teen intern provides The Advocates with different ideas and perspectives; another thing it does is allows us to be there for our friends because often times teens do not know what to do if they are in an unhealthy relationship or they cannot recognize an unhealthy relationship. It is difficult for The Advocates to witness everything that happens within the schools and we offer them this much-needed insight. We believe that any reason to become involved with the ETCs is an excellent reason; however, we would like to share our inspiration for joining. Part of the reason I, Cade, joined is because I had a really good friend who didn’t have a good relationship with her mother and they didn’t really speak, which was really sad to me and it helped push me into trying to help people build better relationships. Another reason I joined was because someone whom I looked up to was a survivor of domestic abuse when he was a child and for his sake he felt like trying to prevent that for others in the future. I, Travis, joined The Advocates for one

simple reason: I idolize my parents’ relationship. Ever since I was a little boy, I have imagined my future relationships being exactly like their own. I remember thinking to myself that nobody deserves anything less than the respect and kindness they share for each other, and The Advocates provides me the opportunity to share that message with my community.

CENTERLYNE AIMS FOR SUCCESS BY MIKE MCKENNA

assion is a big part of what the team at Centerlyne is all about. The two principles of the graphic design, social marketing and creative agency in Bellevue both have a passion for their work, for their clients and for a place they feel lucky to call home. “There is never a day that I don’t love to look at the mountains here,” said Sarah Shephard, who’s also well known by her maiden name, McGinnis. “It never gets old. I love everything about it.” Sarah grew up in the Valley but, after spending several years on the East Coast, she returned home. She eventually married the man of her dreams, Tom, and the two are raising two teenagers, Sydney and Zack. It was nearly a decade ago now that a friend asked Sarah to build a website. She found that she not only had an interest in the growing field, but a gift for it as well. Sarah began taking classes, learned to write code and launched her own business called The Site Vamp. The ever-changing dynamics of the web and social media worlds require constant learning, something that Sarah really enjoys about the field. “It’s always changing and that’s one of the things I like about it. It challenges you to always be learning and to stay on top of trends and ideas,” she said. Nancy Glick was born and raised in Washington state and she, too, has always had a natural ability when it comes to technology and graphic design. “Things just click for me,” she said. “I

love technology and I love art.” After a successful career in the high-tech world of Seattle, Nancy left the city for the mountains of Idaho. She met her husband, Josh – who is the co-owner of Bashista Construction – on St Patrick’s Day, in 1994. Nancy really “blossomed,” as she put it, while working for the late Western photographer David Stoecklein, She eventually founded her own business called The Pixel Bakery. A friend introduced Sarah and Nancy over dinner and the two instantly hit it off. When they realized they had complimentary skills and styles, they decided to join forces and last year Cent-

erlyne was born. The dynamic duo has seen their business flourish, including winning the bid to do the upcoming visitor guide, relocation guide and membership directory called “The Chamber.” “We have a lot of experience and we work well together,” Nancy said, adding that they’re always trying to add local talent to their team, like salesperson Erin Herrett and graphic designer Julie Molema. “We want the businesses we help to be successful and to feel empowered,” Sarah said. “Our goal is to give you the tools you need to succeed.”
