infrastructure will be required in both Saskatchewan and North Dakota; however, the specific routing and location of the infrastructure will be confirmed as part of the upcoming design phase.” As Boundary Dam is north of North Dakota, and Poplar River is north of Montana, that would indicate the Estevan area is the most likely location for this interconnect.

“The 650 MW of import will represent the total capacity between SaskPower and the SPP, i.e. this is not in addition to the existing 150 MW,” he wrote.

SaskPower said expanding transmission capacity to the U.S. will also improve reliability in the event of planned or unplanned outages at SaskPower facilities and makes it possible for Saskatchewan to export excess power into the pool, which would create revenue opportunities.

SaskPower will build the necessary transmission facilities in Saskatchewan, with the SPP handling construction required in the United States.

This interconnect is part of a continuing shift to expand our connections to neighbour power grids. Historically, SaskPower was rather isolated, with limited capacity to import or export power through interconnections. Instead, we were largely self-sufficient, depending in large part on coal-fired baseload power production. Currently, SaskPower’s total tie-line capacity in and out of the SPP is 150 MW. Interconnections to the Sask-

Power grid also currently exist with both Manitoba (290 MW capacity) and Alberta (150 MW capacity). This new line will be more than all the existing interconnects combined.

Alberta has similar interconnects with not only Saskatchewan, but also British Columbia and Montana. According to the Alberta Electric System Operator website, that province routinely draws power from its neighbours on a consistent basis.

At the time of writing at 10:32, Aug. 10, Alberta was 593 megawatts from B.C., 179 megawatts from Montana, and 59 ttttttttttttttttt Vehicle Wraps megawatts from Saskatchewan.

WATERMELON ICE CUBES

Watermelon, Family-Style

Cut three cups of watermelon flesh into chunks. Remove seeds and liquefy in a blender. Pour into ice-cube trays and freeze. For a satisfying cooldown beverage on a hot afternoon, fill a tall glass with the watermelon ice cubes and orange or grapefruit juice.

It has been a watermelon summer!

The luscious, juicy treat has made a regular appearance in our soups, salads, grilled sides, as well as sliced up on large platters for the perfect al fresco big-crowd dessert.

Summer days are going by too quickly, so grab a fresh melon today and let it quench your thirst, satisfy your sweet tooth and provide lots of "goodfor-you" vitamins, like A, B-6 and C. Here are some creative ideas for serving local watermelon during this peak season:

THAN JUST LUMBER! 304 - 12th Ave. E., Kindersley, SK • www.kcbc.ca • 306-463-0066 In my neighborhood, there was a couple who had given their twin sons very weird names. One was named Trouble, while the other boy’s name was Mind Your Own Business. So, one day they were playing hide and seek. Mind Your Business counted to a hundred and then started looking for his brother. But, somehow he couldn’t find him anywhere. He saw a police car passing the neighborhood, so he stopped it to ask for help. When the police officer asked him for his name, he replied, “Mind Your Own Business!” Feeling insulted, the police officer still asked politely who he was looking for. Mind Your Own Business replied, “I am looking for Trouble!”

The historians had gathered for a party in Cairo after they had discovered a new mummy. The discovered mummy, on display at the party hall, suddenly woke up. Seeing the historians alarmed, the mummy said that he just wanted to listen to some music. The mummy said, “Please don’t play jazz because my trom-bones are in a very bad shape. Could someone please put on some wrap music?”

A food critic visits a local restaurant to review its food for the town magazine. The owner welcomes him and shows him to the table. The food is presented to him and after a while, the critic calls the owner to say that there is something missing in his bowl of soup. The owner asks whether it is too spicy or sweet or salty. When the food critic says no, the owner decides to taste the soup himself but he can’t find the spoon. “Yeah,” says the critic, “that’s what is missing.”
