Making the boarder before midnight
Story from Dewey Morinville (’72): Dunseith, ND
Lyle Olson story about making the border by midnight. One night a few of us went to Canada. Albert Johnson had a cuda (beautiful car) and Russ Robert had his brother (Duane) car. Duane was in the army at the time n Russ was using Duane’s car 64chev gold in color. Anyway we had to make the border and we took off. Linda Johnson was dating Roberts’s uncle Robin at the time. Well Albert had a flat tire on the cuda so Linda n Robin in Robins car went ahead to let the us customs know that one car had a flat tire n would be here shortly. We got the spare on had hit the road. But Aj had a few to many to drive. We in the car wouldn’t let Aj drive so George Malaterre took the wheel n off to the border we were Aj was with a girl Russ n I were in the back. On the way Aj n Russ were talking about racing the cuda against the chev. I told them we all had too much to drink to be racing. George only had a ND drivers permit at the time which is invalid in Canada. Not really paying attention to the speed George was doing I was trying to talk Russ n Aj out of racing. I dispatched at the police dept. at the time so I was worried about all this getting back to chief Whiteshield n dad. We’re getting very close to the border we could see the light of the custom office an all of sudden red lights on us. George pulled over an asked George what’s your hurry. George told the RCMP we had to get over the border by midnight. The RCMP told George that he was going 145mph and he couldn’t gain of us. He took George back to his car. We thought George was going to jail. While this was going on I was still trying to talk these two drunken guts out of racing. All of a sudden George gets in the car n off we went to the US custom. George just got a warning from the RCMP. We got thru customs barely but we did make it. Russ had parked the Chevy in front of our house. They dropped me off an I told them no racing. Russ got in the car n took off. I walked to the pd. Tum tum morning was on duty. About half hour later the phone rang n tum tum said he will be right there. Aj mom called the pd to report Russell had rolled Duane’s car. I asked tum tum what was that about. He said Russ rolled his car. I went with tum tum to Johnson’s n Russell was there with just minor injuries. When Duane found out about his car I think Duane made Russ buy the wreck from him. We were all lucky that night that could have been the cuda with all of us in it. Someone was looking out for us that night. I haven’t thought about that for years until I read Lyle’s story.

Lyle O is the king. He never fails to provide laughter, whether in casual conservation or telling a story. I however have had the privilege to see Lyle when he wasn’t in his usual jovial mood, he still provided laughter but it wasn’t his intention.
Back in 1988 Lyle, Keith Berg, my wife Robin & I went to Riding Mountain for a weekend of golf on the infamous Wasagaming course. Lyle booked us a 6:30 am tee time on both Saturday & Sunday. We were forewarned as to being in the great white north we should be prepared for chilly weather, heeding that warning we dressed accordingly, long sleeved shirts, trousers and light jackets. By 7:45 am the mercury was rising pretty fast along with Keith’s and my temper, from the first hole on we both were losing balls at a pretty steady rate, whether in the rough or the dense timber. By the fourth hole we had our sleeves rolled up and were sweating like crazy as the temp was crowding 80 degrees, except for Lyle, he had put shorts on under his pants and had brought a light shirt along “just in case”. By the time we reached the 8th tee box Lyle was letting us know pretty frequently that he still had his origin Well you would think Keith had just stole Lyle’s best girl or had kicked his dog the way Lyle carried on, we thought it was kinda funny as did the people behind us, there was even a couple that had fallen off their cart from laughter. Needless to say the next few holes were pretty stressful, what with trying to hit a little tiny ball between shrieks of laughter. Up to the 10th Keith & I were getting beat pretty bad. After the 17th it was pretty much a tie, I won’t tell you who won, I think I’ll let Lyle do that.
As for the Sunday game it was pretty uneventful except for the fact that Keith & I were dressed for another 85 degree day and the mercury didn’t make it past 50, and there was Lyle with his shorts and light shirt on, underneath his sweats, so I guess he got the last laugh, watching us shiver uncontrollably while trying to golf.

Reply from Marlene Henderson (Rolla):
Balinto family arrived here from Philippines. She was a nurse in Belcourt and he started a sewing factory in Rolla. They had 3 children that I know about: Lito, John and I think the daughter was Joanna. The others must have been her parents and sister. John is the one in blue shirt. He graduated with our Bill in 88 and is a doctor. I believe Mrs. Balintono died a few years ago.
They moved to Alaska when they left Rolla.

Howdy Gary,
I vaguely remember Jose Balintino, I think he may have had something to do with the Jewel Plant in Rolla. I know I rented 1/2 of a duplex in Rolla from him back in the early 70’s.

We all remember, well, following the daily updates ofAnn Pritchard with her Lung transplant
several months ago. We were so sorry to hear of her death from the complications of the Lung
transplant. She was a hard fighter, but she just never really recovered following the transplant. Gary
