The Press-Herald staff is back from summer holidays and even Helena Long has returned from her medical leave as the office begins to gear up for a busy fall and Christmas season. We started with stuffing the August 19th issue of the Unity Wilkie Press-Herald full of local news and information! Check it out for:

• a wrap-up article on the Western Canadian U21 Fastball Championships hosted in Unity August long weekend;
• coverage of the Wilkie-Unity matchup at the senior men’s provincial final August 14;
• photos and details on local ball players picked up by other teams for Western Canadian and national tournaments; and
• savings and budget tips for post-secondary students.

Lots of ball in this paper as the season comes to an end but we didn’t forget the RCMP report nor the crop report. There are also three interesting letters to the editor, along with a profile of a contracting business in Unity.
