'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

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

Idaho Foodbank sets 1 million meal goal for holiday campaign in eastern Idaho

POCATELLO — The Idaho Foodbank has started its annual Hope for the Holidays campaign, with a goal of providing food for 1 million meals in eastern Idaho over the next two months. About 1 in 7 people in eastern Idaho face food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children, the organization said. The foodbank and 150 local partner groups serve nearly 44,000 people in the region each month. Foodbank President and CEO Randy Ford said high prices for food and other basic goods continue to add stress for families during the holidays, and he urged residents to take part in the campaign. Several fundraisers run statewide. Customers at participating Albertsons stores can buy Holiday Bucks at checkout through Dec. 31 as part of the chain’s Feed Joy campaign, and Maverik is collecting round-up donations at its stores. On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, donations to the foodbank will be matched up to $10,000 by Rodger and Cynthia Shaver. In eastern Idaho, a Light the World Giving Machine will operate at ICCU Headquarters, 4400 Central Way in Chubbuck, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Pocatello Veterans Day Parade set for Saturday morning to honor local veterans and service members

POCATELLO — The Bannock County Veterans Memorial Association will honor past and present service members Saturday as the Pocatello Veterans Day Parade makes its way through town at 11 a.m. Saturday. Entries will line up on First Street, head up Center Street, turn onto 10th Street and loop back down to Caldwell Park, where spectators can find seating while an emcee introduces each entry. This year marks the fifth parade since the event returned to Pocatello after an 80-year absence. Leadership rotates among local veteran service organizations every couple of years so each group gets a turn running it. The Veterans of Foreign Wars organized the first two parades, and the American Legion handled the past two. Many Legion members are pitching in again this year. Teresa Vialpando, president of the association, said spectators shouldn’t expect the polished floats seen at a Fourth of July celebration. “It’s a lot of military vehicles, a lot of older veterans,” Vialpando said. Crowds can expect longtime traditions, including the POW/MIA entry and the submarine veterans riding with their replica sub. Several military-themed semitrucks will also roll along the route. All six military branches and 13 local veteran service organizations are expected to take

Reel Colorful: Historic Pocatello theater unveils bold new murals

POCATELLO — For 77 years, the building at 310 E. Oak St. has been a fixture of the community, a locally owned movie theater that has drawn generation after generation through its doors. Now it is stepping into its next act, with new murals sprawled across its exterior. The theater opened in 1949 as the Crest Theatre and reemerged in 1986 as the Reel Theatre. Saundra Lewis began managing it in 1988 and bought it in 2000. The Reel has functioned as a second-run movie house for decades and recently replaced its weathered and chipped mural with brand-new displays from local artist Nick Hottmann. The previous pitted patina of the exterior walls got a new cream coat over the summer, which laid the foundation for Hottmann’s contemporary-meets-classic design. Lewis worked closely with Hottmann on a design that would be a spiritual successor to the 2011 mural painted by local high schoolers. Lewis said the theater initially tried to save the older mural. The paint kept flaking whenever workers tried to stabilize it, and an attempt to have Hottmann add to it failed. After 15 years in the elements, Lewis decided to start fresh. The new artwork keeps the theater’s old
