COLUMN: Bryan Cox was a great man

I was deeply saddened to hear of former Hyde Park Mayor Bryan Cox’s death, a man who consistently brightened up every room he was in and always showed me nothing but kindness. Not only did Cox’s sense of humor jive with mine, but I always felt that he truly...

VIEW FROM THE HAWKES NEST: Favorite restaurant closed? Try going to where the locals eat

Is it just me or has there been a recent plethora of restaurants, cafes and businesses closing up shop for good here in the valley?. I ventured out onto north Main Street the other day, having a craving for one of El Sol’s cheese crisps, chips and salsa and the lunch Special Burrito all chile Verde. The parking lot was empty except for a guy sitting in his car looking at his phone probably wondering what the hack was going on. The sign on the door said CLOSED.

'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

Update on Idaho counties with vote-tally troubles

UTV Night Light Parade Rolls Into Idaho December 12

If you run a side-by-side and you have been looking for an excuse to string some lights on it, Pocatello, Idaho, has one. The KRW Trail Blazers Christmas Nite Light Ride returns for its 15th year on Saturday, December 12, and the one hard requirement for joining in is that your rig has to glow. Where and When According to the KRW Trail Blazers, the ride starts at OK Ward Park at 1400 West Quinn in Pocatello. Things kick off at 2:00 p.m., and judging begins at 5:00 p.m. once the vehicles are lined up and lit. That gap gives you time to get positioned and make sure every strand is working before the judges come through in the dark. What Can Join This is not a UTV-only affair, though side-by-sides are plenty welcome. The organizers say the ride is open to side-by-sides, ATVs, street motorcycles, and ordinary vehicles alike. The one rule across the board: you have to decorate your ride with lights. If it does not light up, it does not belong in this parade. Prizes There are prizes on the line for the best decorated ride and for the rig that uses the most lights. Those are

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.

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

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
