During a decade of growth, our government has made record investments in the infrastructure needed to grow our economy and secure a better quality of life for Saskatchewan people.

Recently, a $27 million twinning project east of Estevan along Highway 39 officially opened to traffic. Aimed at improving safety and efficiency for motorists and truckers, the project includes 10 km of twinning on Highway 39 from east of Estevan to southeast of its junction with Highway 18.

I want to thank the residents in the area for their patience during construction. This stretch of highway sees about 6,000 vehicles daily and our government looks forward to the benefits this section of highway will provide to the people of Saskatchewan as well as the trucking industry.

The completion of this project demonstrates our government’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that improves the safety and efficiency of Saskatchewan highways. In all, about $7.4 billion has been invested in highways and infrastructure since 2008 in Saskatchewan.

The Aztecs also used poinsettia extracts as dyes and to treat fever. Poinsettias were introduced to North America in 1824 by Joel R. Poinsette, a southern plantation owner, botanist, gardener and the first USA ambassa- dor to Mexico. This large shrub was soon brought to other tropical countries including East Africa. In fact, my first memories of poinsettias are from the early 1960s when I was a teacher in Tanzania. There, they were grown as large hedges six feet tall and four feet wide, functioning in much the same way as caragana on a prairie farmstead, but with considerably more class. DIRECTORY Its close association with Christmas is linked to the fact that the short days of December initiate coloration. The traditional bright red ‘flowers’ are St. Andrew’s not flowers at all, but modified leaves called bracts. The true flowers are the St. Peter’s small, insignificant, yellow ‘pips’ located in the centre of the bracts. United Church Poinsettias have come a long way. Plant breeders in Scandinavia and Cal- Roman Catholic Church ifornia, particularly Paul Ecke, have developed the familiar shorter potted 115 King St., Lumsden, SK 310 Lake St., Lumsden poinsettia we associate with Christmas. Poinsettias have also been selected with a greater range of colour: red (of course), pink, white ( light cream), purple, burgundy, mottled, bi-colour, multi-colour and spotted. And within each colour group, there may be several cultivars that differ in maturity date, depth of flower (bract) and leaf colour, flower size and form (e.g. rose form), plant size and overall plant shape.
