'It’s a blessing now’: Pocatello veteran reflects on how PTSD took his marriage and fueled his drive

POCATELLO — Looking back on his life some 50-plus years since the events that led to his post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, Michael Sasseen can see that the disorder isn’t just responsible for driving the behaviors that led him to lose all the precious things in his life. Sasseen believes his PTSD is also behind what he calls a life of overachieving, a driving force pushing him to take on the next project or pursue the next accomplishment, all of it in an effort to never allow the disorder to take hold of him. “I have mastered so many things in my life just running from my PTSD,” Sasseen said. “I had to keep this PTSD brain busy.” But it isn’t just PTSD that Sasseen struggles with. He’s also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and he’s dyslexic. Even as a kid, Sasseen was focused on achieving and talks about his first job bagging groceries at a local store in Memphis, Tenn., where he grew up. “My first job was at nine years old. I was standing on a milk crate bagging groceries,” he said. “When I wasn’t standing on the milk crate bagging groceries, I

Snake River’s Gwen Jones goes from an hour to live to state champion

Matt Jones picked his spot with about 600 meters to go. There was a short straightaway there on the Portneuf Wellness Complex course, with fewer people crowding the rope. He knew he'd have a second, maybe two, to get his daughter's attention. When Gwen Jones came around the hill, she was in about 21st place, farther up than he expected. He trotted alongside her. "Gwen, you're doing so good, and I think you're going to get a medal," Matt remembered telling her. "But if you want to help your team win state, you've got to pass that group ahead of you." She glanced over at him. "I saw determination just take over her," Matt said, "and she took off." It scared him a little. She still had 600 meters to go. It wasn't the first time she'd scared him. Two years earlier, doctors gave her an hour to live and warned she might never run again. On Halloween, the Snake River junior helped her team win a state title. "I get really emotional even thinking about it now, watching every race she runs," said her mother, Emily Jones. "There's a really realistic possibility that she shouldn't even be here." THE

Heart of a Servant: Hometown Hero Jordan Johnson reflects on duty, family and gratitude

POCATELLO — Veterans Day often means different things to different people. For Pocatello police Cpl. Jordan Johnson, service to his fellow man is a huge honor and responsibility, a standard of excellence formed by the heroes who came before him. Johnson’s family has a history of service in the military that spans generations. Both of his grandfathers served, something he took to heart when he enlisted in the Idaho Army National Guard at 17. “They came before me and they cleared a path,” Johnson said. “To be able to be counted among them has been this very sacred honor because I always looked up to them so much. So to have people put me in the same category as them is hard for me to fathom.” Johnson was recognized as Idaho State University’s Hometown Hero at a recent football game. His achievements in service have a far-reaching impact, but he said the part of the day he will remember is watching his oldest son smile. “My oldest son has special needs, and we weren’t sure how he would do, because he struggles in environments like that,” Johnson said. “He was the one holding the football, and he had a big
