Ants do not feed directly on the grass plants. The problem is the ant hills that they make in the lawn. These nest mounds result in uneven turf and can ruin the appearance of the lawn. Ants can also be a problem when they venture onto patios and indoors. Fortunately ants can be controlled for a small period of time with a recommended insect control material The insect control should be applied to the entire turf area. If only the ant hills are treated. the ants will move to infest the untreated section Ants are a nuisance in the lawn and on-going treatment is necessary for complete control Next Tip: August 10 Lawns and Trees Keep watching this space for another valuable Weed Man Turf Tip. ed- t x re_ WE CARE FOR YOUR LAWN GODERICH Proprietors Christine & Mark Coulthard INSECT PROBLEMS'' See us lur all your lawn insect needs: Ants.

Martinez and his team tied London United 1-1. St. Columban soccer club ties Stratford On Wednesday, July 20, the St. Columban Soccer Club travelled to Stratford to play the men's team representing that city. Stratford plays in the Kitchener District League, therefore it was the first time in several years that the two teams have met. Stratford had only lost one game to date. They opened the scoring on a through pass that split the St. Columban defence and set up a breakaway. Stratford controlled the majority of the play in the fust half. The second half was much different as St. Columban's physical play and constant pressure wore down the Stratford team. Eventually Dave Murray broke through only to be hauled down outside the penalty box. Dean Martin drilled the free kick to the right corner around the wall to tie the game. The exhibition left both sides satisfied with a 1-1 tie. On Friday, July 22, London United travelled to Mitchell for their first two encounters of the year. St. Columban dominated the_. play drilling two shots off the cross bar in the second half. However, in one of London's few visits to the opposing end, they headed in a corner kick for the lead. In the dying minutes the home side had a player ejected for over - aggressiveness. Despite this, they managed to tie the game in the 90th minute on a long pass from Dave Murray at centre who drove a long through pass to Steve Ryan in London's penalty box. Steve was dragged down and Dean Martin scored on the penalty to finish the game in a tie. Sunday, July 24 was supposed to be a game for first place with London Curinga, however, the referee was unable to attend and a satisfactory replacement could not be found in time. The team wishes to apologize to all those who came to watch and were disappointed. The next home game, is Monday,. August 1 at 5 p.m. Team members are: Jim O'Reilly, Mark Muir, Jason Dietz, Wayne Ryan, Jason Vandervelde, Mauro Mascioli, Brian Melady, Dave Murray, Jamie Yantzi, Mike Seiler, Mark Martinez, Nehru Budna, John Jordan, Dean Martin, Paul Murray, Mike Murray, Steve Ryan, and Joe Murray.

The Seaforth team qualified for the Provincials by placing second at Chatham. Seaforth ball team heads to provincials submitted by Coach Georgina Reynolds During this past weekend fourteen girls, their families, and four coaches travelled to Chatham with only one thing in mind: They wanted to qualify to play in the Provincial Women's Softball Association's tournament in Niagara Falls on August 5-7. Their work was cut out for them as then other teams had the same idea. The draw was definitely not in Scaforth's favour as the first team they were to meet was Windsor. This was the only team in the Novice 11 division to beat Scaforth this season. After a well played game Seaforth found themselves on the losing end of this game. This meant that they now had to work their way back up from the bottom of the draw. They next met Chatham and St. Marys, both on Saturday. This strong team showed no mercy for either of these teams. Sunday morning once again saw Seaforth playing Windsor. This was the most important game for Scaforth and Windsor. The winner would go on the loser would go home. After much pacing, nail biting, hair pulling, and cheering, Seaforth emerged victorious, but the team still hadn't qualified for the provincials. They still had to win one more game. The next game was against Oakridge of London. This game was definitely not as tense as the Windsor game. With this win the Seaforth Novice 11 girls qualified for the provincials. They had achieved their goal. But wait, they're not finished yet. Their next opponcnt was Sarnia. More excitement was in store for the fans. Sarnia was winning until the seventh. With home team advantage Scaforth again pulled out the win. This meant they still had another game and possibly two. How much more heat and pressure could these girls stand? In the gold medal game Seaforth was to fact Byron. This was Byron's first game of the day, fourth of the tournament. This was Seaforth's fourth game of the day, seventh game of the tournament. The girls' strong character and excellent skill level again showed through in this game. Once again they tied this game in the seventh inning. This meant extra innings. Unfortunately a home run in the ninth ended the game with Byron taking home the gold, Seaforth the silver. Good luck to all these fine young athletes in the Provincials. Bring home the gold girls.
