The first September issue of the Unity Wilkie Press-Herald reflects the upcoming local elections as all RMS, villages and towns are calling for nominations for councillors, reeves and mayors. Check out the paper for the qualifications needed to run for council, along with:

• an article on theft and vandalism at the Unity museum;
• local winners in the recent STARS lottery draws;
• a look forward at the UCHS Warriors’ 2016 football season; and
• as summer draws to an end, a nostalgic look at lake life on the editorial page.

Meanwhile, farmers are grateful for warm, dry weather so they can forge ahead with getting the crops out of the fields and into the bins. The dark clouds in this photo, taken August 28, disappeared overnight and the next day was bright and sunny with combines in operation in many fields.
