HUGO — Oklahomas Dist. 2 Congressman, Josh Brecheen, met with constituents from Choctaw and surrounding counties last week during a series of Town Hall meetings ranging from Kansas to the Texas line.

A bustling crowd of curious onlookers and enthusiasts gathered in Hugo Monday to witness the rare celestial event that has captivated much of the United States for weeks –– a solar eclipse that granted close to four minutes of totality for those in Choctaw County.

By Edwin Findley (edwinfindley009@gmail.com) During my daily devotional, God showed me this scripture, Philippians 1:21: “ For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I want Christ to live through me today, but if I die today, it is my gain.

The Choctaw Nation Health Services Authority (CNHSA) hosted over 350 mental health, law enforcement, judicial, and nursing professionals at the annual Navigating Mental Health and Substance Misuse Conference March 11 and 12. Chief Gary Batton opened the conference by thanking the attendees for their service and support they provide to our tribal members, then by encouraging them to remember to take care of themselves.
