Tam- Big Muddy port

I had a great chance today to talk with and have a toddy with (until his sweet wife drug him away )my old buddy Ron Marlenee (ex- MT Congressmen- who's son in law is the local (R) party chairman)- and he couldn't or wouldn't tell me for who that Whitetail-Big Beaver port was originally put in- but he did agree that it was there because it was financially beneficial to some for years that had cropland holdings in both countries........

And agreed that now- with transport the way it is- it needs to be shutdown....

And since its never been a 24 hourport- it shouldn't hinder you from your expectations of 24/7 medical care you expect... :shock: :roll: :wink: :p :lol:

BigBeaver border crossing to close By Pamela Roth, Leader-Post August 5, 2010 Residents living in the R.M. of Happy Valley aren't so happy any more after learning that the BigBeaver Port of Entry will close next spring. David Schwab, R.M. reeve, said most residents saw the closure coming about a year ago, but remained hopeful it would stay open for business. "It's no surprise to me or any of the local people. It's a real hassle to even get back into our own country," said Schwab. "We are hoping they will change their mind, but I don't know if that is going to happen or not." The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) said Tuesday the decision was made to close the "under-used"port after a review to make sure government money was being allocated to high-priority programs. According to Sabrina Mehes, CBSA spokeswoman, the border crossing sees an average of five travellers a day and no commercial vehicles. The next closestport of entry is Coronach, located 28 kilometres west, then Regway, which is 55 kilometres east from BigBeaver. Mehes said the decision to close the border crossing was determined through detailed regional input from local CBSA representatives and was primarily based on an assessment of the community's use of theport of entry. As of April 1, 2011, travelers from Canada to the U.S. will still be able to cross at Whitetail, but those headed to Canada from the U.S. will have to use an alternate route. Ironically, the WhitetailPort of Entry on the other side of the border will be undergoing $8.5 million in upgrades. Schwab lives eight miles from the border crossing and travels through there at least once a month. Instead of a 10-minute trip to across the border, he now has to travel at least half an hour. But he's hardly the only one who will be inconvenienced once theport of entry closes. Schwab said some American farmers have land on the Canadian side of the border and pass through the crossing frequently. He fears the closure might discourage some Americans from using the border crossing altogether, which he said will have a direct impact on the local economy. "There are a few American customers that come up here and shop at our local store," he said. "It's going to be bad." BigBeaver is located approximately 187 kilometres south of Regina.

So according to you Canada is doing what needs to be down AND Obama is wasting $8.5 million of stimulus money to fix up a one way port. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And just so you know you need to get a better spy to watch my every move Oldtimer if you believe I use that port to get to the Doctor. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh BTW the Big Muddy Port closed in Sept 1936. :wink: :p

I meant the Big Beaver port-- but that is Big Muddy country...I tried to get Ron to pin it on some of your border relatives or something (since you seem to expect government should be available 24/7 for your immediate wish and whim :wink: :p :lol: )-- but he wouldn't say why it was opened or built...

I still haven't found the history of when or why that port was put where it was (when so close to other ports)- but I'm sure it was because someone had some strong lobbyiest interests with a Senator or someone in power...

Ron is a fun guy to talk to and I'm glad he went out of his way to look me up today...Love to cuss and discuss issues with him- and he is one thats been around long enough to know partisan politics and the BS involved and not to automatically worship it because its what the cult says...He's been around long enough to know partisan politics and the BS involved does not always make it true or the best for Montana..

His son in law- who is from a long time local family is a very common sense attorney that I love to work with... :D

Good for Good old Ron but you never commented on Obama wasting $8.5 million to upgrade a port for 5 people a day? Why not. Can't you get yourself to admit Obama is wasting money? How about the millions spent on teaching Chinese Prostitutes to drink Responsible. Just how is that helpping the unemployed in the US Oldtimer? :? :wink: :lol:

Oh BTW why are you still asking questions about my family are you stalking me again? Do I need to speak to someone about you maybe Ron's son in law? :?

The port was established in 1932. There was trade across the border as stock was shipped to Chicago out of Whitetail. Lots more people back in those days traveled back and forth and lots of cross border marriages.I know Canadian boys that went to boy scouts in Whitetail and lots of people visited the bar. It was good for both sides. I understand the communities feeling of loss even though I hardly ever use that crossing. What would make more sense would to be to lengthen the hours of operation at the Scobey port.

Thanks Big Muddy- I had never heard when it was built- or why....I got a big laugh out of Ron when I asked him if that was one of his ports-- so I'm glad it was built before his time and I didn't hit any nerves...

And I agree- rather than having more ports- longer hours would make more sense....I saw and talked to several Canadians in town yesterday that were down for a funeral....When winter hours are on- it makes for some short days in the states- and a mad dash for the port for them when they come down...

funny that we are discussing crossings that are not needed on the Northern US Border and ones that are needed on the Southern, but yet it is the Northern border that OT blames for the influx of Terrorists into the US. :???:

Now that we know you don't support keeping the Canadian side open how about the $8.5 million Obama is spending on upgrading the US side? :???:

BTW don't leave us hanging what do you think about the money Obama is spending on Chinese Prostitutes? :wink:

I thought you said the Obama stimulus money was helping US citizens with shovel ready jobs. :???:

Are you now saying Canadians are importing in Chinese Prostitutes?

Good for you- when I got done inspecting cows and horses today- we were discussing a local Canadian Madam that years of ago was here for years -good lady- even married a local cowboy- until she got older- and her quests for big bucks couldn't keep her home on the ranch- and when she moved to the big city (Helena) needed the drug income to make up for her aging/rest of the trade her girls didn't bring in...

Not sure if she had any Chinese girls- but boy she sure ran a lot of Canadian women.... :wink:

How do you know this? Wasn't it illegal? And by the way, isn't it illegal to drink and drive too? How do you get home from the bar? I bet you wait and have your working wife come get you. :oops: :roll: :shock:

You just can't face the facts and stay on point can you. :roll: Obama is the one funding Chinese Prostitutes and as far as I know they are not being imported anywhere Obama is funding their drinking lessons right in China. But that just can't be as according to you the stimulus money is being used right in the US to help create US jobs. SO I ask AGAIN what do you think of OBAMA, the US President, Your guy, wasting your money on Chinese Prostitutes in China?

Back to your Good Old Buddy. You said
he is one thats been around long enough to know partisan politics and the BS involved and not to automatically worship it because its what the cult says...He's been around long enough to know partisan politics and the BS involved does not always make it true or the best for Montana..
So I ask you if he knows what he is talking about like you claim and he is speaking out at Tea Parties, why do you have such a problem with a group that your Good Old Buddy, that knows what he is talking about, supports? :? And would you have if the topic had come up called him your favorite name for those that attend events that he supports? Simple terms Would you have called your old buddy a ********* if the topic had come up? Yes or No and if your answer is No Why Not? :?

Don't hold your breath waiting on an answer from Short timer, Miss Tam. All he's really good for is "playing devil's advocate", which is code for "talking out of both sides of his azz".

She's probably just used to men, that respect women.

And that is how oldtimer answers questions, and shows just how little class he has.


EH? oldtimer
