They are the resigning Silver Stick Champions. But there's no time for sitting back now. Seaforth is pitted against cross - county rival Exeter in the semi- finals of the A11 -Ontario Championship. The two teams have met twice so far this season. The first game was all the way back on September 30. Seaforth, shorthanded entering the game, had to go without the services of Wayne Schoonderwoerd on Steve McInally and coach Roy Gingerich. The game was fast, relatively clean, and ended in a 1-1 tie. The second time Seaforth met Exeter was in the semi-finals of the Silver Stick. Seaforth missed several glorious opportunities early and had to rely on a late goal by Dean Finnigan to pull them through the game with the win. This series could quite possible be the toughest obstacle in the way of the Seaforth Midgets. Only one team will scale the wall to victory. Only one team will cross the desert, weather the storm, and capture the gold that awaits. Enough metaphors? Thought so. ON TAP The first game of the series is tonight (Wednesday) at 9:00 in Exeter. Other game times will be posted at the arena. Sports DAVID SCOTT PHOTO PUCK PICKIN' - A member of the Milverton squad tries unsuc- cessfully to dig out a puck in front of the Seaforth net in Novice II hockey playoff action at the Seaforth arena on Saturday. Fords ahead of Chevies Thirty-three Seniors were out to bowl on Friday afternoon at Star- light Lanes. High single for the ladies was bowled by Olave Little with a 230. Mary Finlayson had ladies high triple with a 5-7. Eric Matzold had mens high single of 263 and 605 triple but Ron Bennett came through for the Fords with a 606 triple. Other over 200 scorers were John Aubin with a 231 John Van Loon 228, Campbell Wey 205, and Ron Bennett 220. Bowling well over their average for the day were Nancy Mitchell and Neil Hodgert. Despite being in the cella the Olds had high pinfall for the day losing their third game by two pins. The same fate befell the Toyotas as they lost a game to the Buicks by two pins. The Fords are still in top place but the Chevies and Chryslers are closing the gap in points. Best wishes from the league go to Hazel McNaughton who is in Seaforth Hospital. The Senior Bow- lers wish her a speedy recovery. Good bowling until next week. Cents face Lucan Irish next Division finials are "old hat" for the Lucan Irish Six. And it's a hat the Seaforth Centenaires would sure like to try on for size again soon. To do so the Cents will have to get past the Irish in their Ontario Hockey Association Junior Devel- opment League Western Division semi-finals which open tonight (Wednesday) at 8:15 in Lucan. Game two in the best -of -seven playoff is Friday night at 8:30. at Seaforth. The odds must favour the Irish who are gunning for an amazing ninth -straight appearance in the division final, and finished second during this regular season - 17 points ahead of the sixth-place Centenaires, whose strongest finish since their championship season m 1985-86 came two seasons back when they took these same Irish to six games in the semi-finals. But the odds also said the Seaforth Juniors would be only watching this week. They aren't. They upset the heavily -favoured Exeter Hawks with a surprising sweep in the first round of the playoffs. The Irish advanced Friday by eliminating the Alvinston Flyers in six games, three of which went into overtime, one of those double overtime. Lucan can certainly put the puck in the net, with all kinds of size, skill and depth up front. Paul McLlwain was Seaforth's only 20- goal scorer this season (26 G 28 A - 54 Pts.) but the Irish, who are affiliated with the junior B London Nationals, have four. (#11) Greg Deprest, 36-55-91; (#25) Dwayne Price, 23-32-55; (#20) Rob Davis, 24-27-51; and (#19) Steve Moore, 20-22-42, (despite missing six weeks of the season with vision problems). Where the Irish are perhaps not quite as strong this year, as in seasons past, is behind the blueline, although the late -season acquisition ST. JAMES Celebrates Lent '94 LENTEN MASSES: Mon..

LDATE: J of the much -coveted Jamie Hicks from London high school hockey ranks may certainly alter this. Goaltenders Steve Watson (3.39 goals against average) and Stuart Ashton (4.07) are certainly far superior to the stoppers Seaforth faced in the first round of the playoffs, but maybe not quite up to the standard of some of the all-star goalies Lucan has had during its eight -season run. The two teams faced off against each other five times during the regular season with Lucan holding a slight edge, winning three times and outscoring the Cents 21-17. Seaforth beat the Irish 4-3 in over- time on a Wednesday night at Lucan early in the season, and hosted them to a 7-5 loss about a month ago. In the other games the Irish beat the Centenaires in Seaforth 4-1 and 5-4, and 4-1 at Lucan. y NOTICE TO PARENTS HENSALL SHUFFLEBOARD March 1, 1994 High six game winners: Allen Berry (463); Dave Kyle (436); Ethel McMurtrie (428); Alice Thiel (410); Lloyd Eagleson (403); Pearl McKnight (401); Dave Woodward (390); and Hugh McKay (386).

"The majority of our acres have problem weeds such as triazine-resistants, lamb's quarters, pigweed and foxtail. One pass through the field with PURSUIT, and those problems are gone." Neil farms with his wife, Donna, on 2200 acres in Huron County. To spread the work load, they use PURSUIT both preplant incorporated and post emergent. "We choose to use PURSUIT in PPI to spread the work, and post -emergent so that we get the benefit of a contact spray." They recently switched to PURSUIT from a program of split application of preplant incorporated and a follow-up pre -emergent spray. "We wanted a more dependable program, one which would get us great weed control with one pass through the field. That one -pass confidence is why I will continue to use and recommend PURSUIT." Top soybean growers like Neil Hemingway rely on PURSUIT for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that PURSUIT will control their grass and broadleaf weeds - including velvetleaf, nightshade and triazine-resistants - under any kind of growing conditions. Performance. Consistency. Flexibility. That's what control's all about.
