FLYING FEET - The Cavan Cloggers entertained with their many Cents in with the big boys The Seaforth Ccntenaires will be playing . in the toughest division of the "toughest con- ference when the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior "D"evelopment League resumes play this fall. Interlocking play was also accepted for 1995-96 when the league representatives recently met for their June meeting. For the past several seasons Seaforth has played a 40 -game schedule in one of the league's two nine -team divisions. They finished fifth last season, their best showing in a decade. But the Centenaires will now play a 38 -game schedule with five games against the four other teams in their new division this season - Exeter, Lucan, Mitchell and North Middlesex. Each team in this division will also play home - and -home mikhes witheach of the five tearngin the other division of their new con- ference - Thamesford, Port Stanley, Mt. Brydges, Lambeth and Belmont. And each of the 10 teams Seaforth's conference will play each team in the other new eight -team conference once during the schedule, four of these as home games and four away, alternating every season. The teams in that other con- siderably weaker conference are now Ayr, St. Gcorge, Tavistock, Wellesley, Burford, Delhi, Hagarsville, and Langton. The biggest change is Thamesford moving into Seaforth's conference. The perennially powerful Trojans are defending league cham- pions and have won the league title for four of the past six seasons. The restructuring proposal originally came from them, the idea being decreased milage within divisions and conferences and "new faces and teams in everyone's arenas will create greater fan interest and provide a face lift for our league". The OHA champ1s come from Seaforth's new conference in each of the league's last 10 seasons - WOSSA has new look Seaforth and arca high school athletes . within the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association (WOSSA) will in future have an easier path to the provincial championships. The legislative council of the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) has approved shifting the nine high schools in the Lambton Conference from WOSSA to the south-west association, SWOSSA, with the 37 schools from Essex and Kent counties. WOSSA will be left with 53 schools from the London, Middlesex, Oxford -Elgin and Huron -Perth conferences. Seaforth, Lambeth, Lucan, Thamesford and Mitchell. An application by Waterford to join the Junior Development League was turned down at the OHA's recent annual meeting in London. Teams in the other cpuference were worried about he new franchise infringing on their territories when. it came to player recruitment. The bottom team in each of the two divisions that now make up Seaforth's conference will miss the playoffs. First will play fourth and second will play third in the first round of post -season play. Division champions will playoff for the conference title and then crossover for the OHA :championship- in the new arrangement Assistant general manager Doug Anstett represented the Centenaires at both the league and OHA meetings.

Mike Kelly is in charge of the committee handling fundraising and marketing for Centenaires this season, which also includes Dave Scott and -the general manager. The Executive helped collect money. at Saturday night's fireworks display in Seaforth to help raise funds for next season, and also worked with the St. Columban Minor Soccer Association at a fundraising promotion the weekend before. The Centenaires are still about $5,000 in the red after last season, despite going through about $20,000 less than they. did the 'season. before when they finished in the black. The deficit was due to fewer proceeds from the sale of Nevada tickets. 75: r*eeft t4e Ards 604 wax ceiteuita Z(Je l aue lorda6 ted I"tw " *call about our classes. `309 Lorne Ave., Stratford 519-271-8620 ALL EARS John E. Tiede Hearin lsstrsseal Specialist Nerve Deafness— A Hearing Aid Can Help Q. A hearing test indicated that I I have impaired hearing. My doctor said it's a "se- nsorineural" hearing loss. He also told me that this type of loss can't be helped medically or surgically unless diagnosed in the very early stages. Is a hearing aid the logical solution? A. Nerve deafness. That's the old fashioned term used to describe your loss. Sen- sorineural hearing loss involves a disturbance or deterioration of U e cochleq or of the atm_ nerve. The cochlea is the tiny, snail -shaped inner ear. Nerve deafness is not total deafness; very few people are totally deaf. Unlike our eyes, which rest while we sleep, our ears "operate" constantly, like a radio left on all night. Ul- timately the delicate receptors within the inner ear start to wear down. Prolonged ex- posure to high levels of noise cad also cause damage to the inner ear. In a few rare cases, nerve deafness can be caused by medical problems. These cases can sometimes be helped by medical or surgical means when they are diagnosed early enough. The best solution for you may be good hearing aids, fit to your particular •level of hearing loss. Visit the Hearing . Care Center at 7 Rattenbury Street East in Clinton for an evaluation of your hearing loss and a demonstration of the improvement you can expect by using hearing aids.
