The Town of Flaxville has submitted grant applications to TSEP Treasure Statement Endowment Program and DNRC (Department of Natural Resources and Conservation) to complete the replacement of their water mains, similar to what Scobey is doing, just on a much smaller scale.
They will likely also do two phases in order to leverage grant funding properly. Rankings of the grant applications won’t be known until later this fall and then the legislature will allocate funding on those that rank high enough, during their session in 2021.
Great Northern Development Corporation helped them with the grant applications. Great West Engineering put together the infrastructure plan for the submission.
They have high hopes of getting the funding however, revenues in the state are down with limited tourism and industry over this last year.

This year’s, one mile, Color Fun Run/Walk begins at 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 4 at the west side of Roseland Park in Scobey. The non-timed event will also wrap up at the park.
A new twist this year — participants will be divided into teams of less than ten. Each team will receive a clue at the starting line and at each color station concerning the race route. The slogan this year is “Giving is an art…be the artist” and the powdered paint will create a masterpiece on the t-shirt.
Logo t-shirts will not be delivered until after the actual event, so participants are asked to wear your own white or light colored t-shirt for the Run.
Some things participants may want to bring to a color run include sunglasses, a plastic bag or phone holder, a plastic bag for sneakers and flip flops to slip on, tow els to put on your car seat, bug spray, and baby wipes.
The color run is a fund raiser put on for local charities and sponsored by the Assembly of God Church in Scobey.

Something very neat and nice happened to those attending the Scobey at Fairview football game Friday, September 25. As fans were paying their way into Starr Field and being handed a program, there were some high-school-aged females there as well. They, too, were handing out something — free meat sticks to anyone who wanted one. I received a Sweet BBQ smoked snack stick. Pasted on the package were these words: HERE’S THE BEEF: you’d starve without agriculture! Supporting current and future farmers, Fairview FFA.
In case you don’t know FFA stands for Future Farmers of America and, in case you don’t know, Scobey High School does not have a FFA chapter. For a community based on agriculture, and prides itself of that fact, doesn’t it seem strange there is not a Future Farmers of America group here in Scobey? And please, don’t say we can’t afford it. — mike

On the Speculative Investor Blog dated Septem-ber 10, 2020 the title of the article was Money Creation Mechanics. The first paragraph of the article stated this: Since the Fed implemented its first Quantitative Easing (QE) program in 2008-2009, many analysts have claimed that QE adds to bank re-serves but does not increase the money supply (bank reserves aren’t counted in the money supply). Such claims are patently wrong.”n That’s like someone saying “I have a (visible) 10-dollar bill in my right hand and a (visible) 20-dol-lar bill in my left hand but I only have 7 dollars.” I know it’s bunk, you know it’s bunk, but the currency creators think we are all stupid. — mike

The Emmy Awards, the annual celebration of television heading into the new fall season, was aired Sunday, September 20. In 2013 the annual awards show had 17.6 million viewers tuning in to see who would win. Last year the Emmy’s drew 6.9 million viewers, the first time ever viewership dipped below 10 million. This year it dropped to 6.1 million. Why the major decline? That’s easy as most of the national NEWS — Non Edited World Situation — has become nothing more than faaaaar left-leaning propaganda. Many of the situation comedies and even a few of the game shows — the new Match Game, for instance — are downright vulgar. Then there are some of the professional athletes currently using their sports as a protest platform, which is turning away viewers. That’s just a few examples, and it is reflected in the declining Emmy numbers. Many people aren’t tak-ing it anymore. To be fair, it is their constitutional right — freedom of speech — to create such content, regardless of how low some people can go. Also to be fair, there are still many good shows appearing on flat screens across the country. Will the downward trend continue? Who knows, but what is known is the demonic powers that be will make darn sure the industry will always have funding to peddle its filth, mind control and whatever else is on its agenda at the time! — mike
