For those you haven’t yet heard, next week’s paper, May 30, will be the last Monday issue of the Unity Wilkie Press-Herald. There will be a gap as the Press-Herald switches over to a Friday publication date, with the following paper not coming out until Friday, June 10.

In next week’s paper, along with all the details, times and places for Unity Western Days activities (including a map of the parade route), be sure to check out:

  • introductions to this year’s Rodeo Queen candidates;
  • a write-up and photos from St. Peter’s dessert theatre performances;
  • Unity product Alex Pernitsky plays in the RBC Cup finals; and
  • for something a little different, the Top 10 features new correspondent Louise Robson’s favourite foods in Italy.

The editorial page has a guest editorial on the Fort Mac fire and evacuations while the ads feature many upcoming local events, before and after Western Days.

There are two “housekeeping” matters to first inform you about.

1) The price of single issues of the Unity Wilkie Press-Herald is going up to $1.25 effective April 4. An annual subscription offers substantial savings. Call the office at 306-228-2267 to order yours!

2) Because the post office is closed for Easter Monday, the March 28th issue will not be available until Tuesday, March 29.

Be sure to check out that March 28th issue when you get it because it provides you with information on each of the candidates running to represent you at the Legislature in Regina. Both the Kindersley and Cut Knife-Turtleford constituencies are included in the Press-Herald coverage. Along with election news, you will find:

  • smiling faces of local hockey players who have won some championships;
  • a preview of the UCHS drama production being performed for the public April 5 and 6;
  • the Press-Herald’s new freelance reporter makes her presence known with reports and photos from the Ducks Unlimited banquet and the Showcase by Revolution Dance; and
  • a warning from the RCMP on scam artists who pretend to be from the CRA.

Of course, you will also find the latest on the SWHL playoffs, editorial comment and more! Remember, with prices increasing, there’s never a better time to subscribe to your local community newspaper. None of the major media, including television stations, websites and big city newspapers would have done interviews with local candidates running in the provincial election.
