HUGO — B.K. Silverlake grabbed the silver lining and would not let go. Travel with the circus for just one season and you understand the extended circus family.
With today’s new technology it is easier than ever to keep in touch. You can call a cell phone, you can e-mail and let’s not forget Web cams. But B.K. is more of the old fashion kind of gal. She wants to see the words coming out of someone’s mouth. She wants to hold the newest baby. She wants the entire extended circus family to keep in touch whenever they are in town. So the best way to show you still care is through actions. That is why B.K. took the time to initiate the process to start the Circus City Showmens Club.
She found an abundance of help and support from her circus family. They all agreed they need a regular place to get together and update each other as well as reminisce. At the January 2010 meeting officer elections were held. Elected were president, B.K. Silverlake, vice president, Mike Fulton, secretary, Jodi Rawls and treasurer, Carol Rawls Mendez.
The Circus City Showmens Club meets at 6 p.m. the first Saturday of the month at the Hugo VFW. Anyone interested in joining can call B.K. at 580.317.9436 or Mike Fulton at 580.760.6288 or e-mail

BOSWELL — A Campbell, Texas man was taken into custody after kidnapping and assaulting his girlfriend before she fled from the vehicle they were in Sunday morning in Boswell.
According to Choctaw County Deputy Sheriff Larry Hendrix, employees at Pierce’s Grocery called for an ambulance at 10:38 Sunday morning when a handcuffed woman ran into the feed store screaming that she had been assaulted.
Store employees told authorities that the man who kidnapped her was in the process of purchasing beer, when he dropped the beer and ran from the building.
According to Officer Hendrix, the woman was taken to Choctaw Memorial Hospital and later driven by ambulance to a Hunt County (Greenville, Texas) medical facility.
After the man fled the grocery in Boswell, a regional alert was given to all area law-enforcement agencies and an alert officer at the Choctaw Casino in Grant reported the man’s vehicle had been there.
The kidnapping and assault victim told officers the man was driving her 1988 Buick LeSabre and that he had told her he was going to kill her and not return to prison. Hendrix said he had done an extensive stint in a Texas prison and had been out on parole for approximately a year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Deborah Powell is on a trip of a lifetime. The Choctaw Nation Housing Authority employee is in Washington, D.C., and is set to be seated next to Michelle Obama tonight as the president of the United States gives his first State of the Union address of the year.
“We are very excited for Debbie and honored that one of our employees has been invited to attend such a prestigious event,” said Chief Gregory E. Pyle.
The invitation was extended to Powell because she is an example of how federal stimulus funds have retained and provided jobs in rural America. The Housing Authority has received two awards totaling more than $8 million through the Native American Housing block grants program. The grants are targeted primarily toward building additional independent living homes for senior citizens in five sites across Southeastern Oklahoma – approximately 19 in Poteau, 15 in Hugo, 15 in Durant, 12 in Talihina and nine in Idabel. The construction plans were a perfect fit for Recovery Act allocations. Read the whole story, subscribe to the online edition: http://www.hugonews.com/transitionHDN.html |
