goalies. ,
"It was cool to be able to
play against Dave
McLlwain," Ludwig says. "
I know all about him but
I've never been able to be in
the same dressing room and
actually talk to him, and
stuff."
McLlwain had left the
Seaforth minor system for
loftier pastures before
Ludwig started playing
minor hockey here as a
second -year novice.
Of all the talent in last
Wednesday night's game,
McLlwain impressed him
the most. Sean says: •
Ludwig doesn't know if
he'llhe playing hockey this
winter. or any other sports
forthat matter. He's also
been an excellent -basketball
player, the Fest shooter, on
Seaforth high school's
seniors for the past couple of
years.
But •he leaves for
Laurentien University in
Sudbury in a couple of
weeks, and he's sure what
sporting opportunities may
present themselves there.
Shuttling between Seaforth
and Sudbury though, is out
of the question.

said Miguel Rodriquez,
one of the visitors. "In
Canada, the people who
are doing the work are the
owners."
In Chile, on the other
hand, producers rely on
inexpensive manual labor.
Rodriquez congratulated
Ontario farmers for
keeping their operations
so clean and orderly.
"Everything is in its
place," he said with
surprise.
The' members of the
AgriCultural Tour also
saw hulless. oats at the
Fell property. Although.
the hulless oats have been
grown in Canada for more
than three decades the
claims about oats' ability
to reduce cholesterol and
fibre value created
increased. interest in the
variety in the past decade.
The visiting farmers say
they. have ha•l little
success' in marketing the
pre -hulled oat variety in
Chile but the Staffa farm
successfully produces it
for a local mill.

Although human
consumption makes up
only a portion. of the oats
sold. discussion during the
visit turned to the many
ways oats can he eaten.
While the visiting
producers' said -oats aren't
a big part of the Chilean
diet, the popular grain is a
Canadian staple.
Horses cat it, of course.
Even some dogs and
rabbits cat it. said Bill
Mahon. Humans can cat
oats in a variety of
interesting ways: as a
breakfast cereal cold or
hot. as ,a thickc.nc.r for

in some places:
