Rescue workers are searching for a man presumed drowned in the Teton River southwest of Tetonia. Authorities say 21-year-old Calvin Willie from Malad, Idaho was inner-tubing with nine other young people Friday when they encountered a dam across the river. Willie’s friends were able to escape from the undercurrent of the rushing water even though they became stranded in the river. Willie, however was swept away. The search for him continues. Willie was a student at Brigham Young University-Idaho.
