From rock bottom to recovery: Idaho veteran shares story

“I’m never too far gone to save. I can make it through the day. Make it through the day. Just for today.” — lyrics from James Hetfield, rhythm guitarist and vocalist for Metallica BOISE — There was no detail too grim as Don Lineberry illustrated the story of his recovery from alcohol and drugs during an Oct. 29 interview with the Idaho Press. He’s come a long way from where he was “12 to 13 years” ago. Now, he just wants to help others, especially his fellow veterans. The first-time author wrote and self-published “From River Bottoms to Rock Bottom and Back” in order to help. He directly addresses veterans who might need help. “To every veteran who has ever felt forgotten or too far gone,” Lineberry writes in an early tribute. “And to the brothers still struggling in the shadows: You are not alone.” The 220-page book is on sale at Amazon for $9.99 — brand new — or for $4.99 to buy on Kindle. It published June 1. With each sale of the book, $1 goes to Boise Rescue Mission’s Veterans Ministry Program. The book also contains many veteran- and Idaho-based resources. Some of his story can be

Judge orders Idaho National Guard to produce documents related to detainment of D.C. woman

Originally published Nov. 6 on IdahoCapitalSun.com . A Washington, D.C. Superior Court judge has ordered the Idaho National Guard to produce documents related to an incident in May in which guard members detained a woman outside her home. D.C. resident Anna King filed a separate $3 million claim against the Idaho National Guard in July for injuries and distress she said she experienced when she was detained on May 8. Members of the Gem State’s National Guard have been in the nation’s Capital since February as part of a Joint Task Force, although there was no public announcement of the deployment until after King filed her claim, the Idaho Capital Sun previously reported. Under the direction of D.C. Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro at a hearing Thursday, the Idaho National Guard, D.C. National Guard and U.S. Department of Defense will have to produce, or explain why they can’t produce, documents related to the detainment of King. King wrote in her tort claim against the Idaho National Guard that the troops did not explain why they were detaining her or provide a warrant when they approached her that evening. A video of the incident shows three men in National Guard

Idaho Has 5 Train Depots That Became Museums And You Still Walk The Original Platforms

One old Idaho train station now sells huckleberry ice cream made with potatoes. Another lets you climb a bell tower for a view across the valley. I love that these buildings refused to retire quietly. The trains stopped carrying passengers years ago, but the depots kept their tracks, their platforms, and their stories.

Idaho voters turned out at high rates to vote in midterm election. Some waited hours to vote.

In Idaho’s general election Tuesday, some voters were voting hours after polls had closed in the state’s second most populated county. Voting bled into Wednesday. The last voter in Canyon County cast their ballot at 12:20 a.m., Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane said in an interview Wednesday morning. In Idaho, polls close at 8 p.m. local time. But voters can still cast votes if they are in line by the deadline. And in Canyon County in southwest Idaho, some voters waited in lines for more than four hours, McGrane said. The lines there, driven by high turnout and long ballots, were one of his biggest challenges of the night. “The interesting thing, both visiting with the poll workers and watching some of the news outlets that visited out there, the voters were really patient, really kind, very determined to want to be able to cast their vote. I think it was incredible just to see the sense of community out there,” McGrane said. “Regardless, I think we owe it to the voters, and we’ve certainly heard some feedback just in terms of how frustrating that was. We want to make sure the voting process goes smoothly.” The lines were

Large scale Billiards tournament begins In Pocatello on Tuesday

Pocatello is trying to win back its reputation as a billiards town, with a five-day tournament aimed at filling the city’s quiet fall season. The tournament runs Tuesday, Nov. 3, through Saturday, Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day at the Avenue Event Center, the event space attached to the Museum of Clean. The prize pool is up to $30,000 with an $80 entry fee. “We used to have quite a reputation for being a pool town and having lots of billiards tournaments,” said Jeff Glissendorf, director of tourism for Visit Pocatello Chubbuck. “We were a billiards hub, so they wanted to kind of get that back.” Glissendorf said the event also is meant to bring visitors to town after the busy summer months. “We were looking to bring in different kinds of events, cornhole, those kinds of things, and billiards in the off season,” he said. Play will include 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball and Scotch doubles across nine brackets, with platinum and standard divisions for different skill levels. The main 8-ball tournament starts Friday, Nov. 6, and wraps up Saturday night. Diamond Billiards is supplying 40 tables. Professional trick-shot artist and Billiards Hall of Fame member Tom
