Swim coach dismissed home in Ottawa. The native of Australia returned from the recent U.S. championship in Florida and Swimming Canada chief executive officer Doug Hous. ton presented him with a letter saying the position of head coach was being abol ished. Talbot said he wasn't given any reason for the action. But the Gazette said it has learned of a growing dis. content over the tough jstan dards he set for the Olympic team and the composition of the Olympic coaching staff.

New Jersey goalie Sean Burke showed again that he can play the angles, stoning Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 Tuesday night for his first career National Hockey League shutout as the Devils set in motion a five-day, three-team battle for the final playoff berth in the Patrick Division, “He's been an awful big part of our effort,” said Devils coach Jim Schoenfeld, making an uni pun about the six-foot-three Burke. “He is an intimidating type out there. “He's a big guy, and when he goes out, you don't see a lot of aet.” ; Kirk Muller led the Devils’ offence, scoring one goal and setting up two others, as New Jersey moved to within one point of Pittsburgh and the idle New York Rangers (both with 77 points). All three teams have three games remaining and the Devils and Penguins meet against Thursday night in Pittsburgh. Burke, who now has won seven times in eight decisions since joining New Jersey from the Canadian Olympic team last month, blocked 25 shots and made two great glove saves against Lemieux — one on a deflection late in the second period and another on a breakaway seconds into the third period. Lemieux, who leads the NHL with 65 goals and 160 points, had a six-game goal-scoring streak abruptly stopped. He had also collected 13 points in his three previous games. “The key when you play a team like Pittsburgh is if you can shut them down for parts of the game, they are going to get frustrated,” Burke said. The Devils outshot the Penguins 16-2 in the second period while coasting to a 3-0 lead. Meanwhile at the other end of the Patrick Division, the New York Islanders increased their first-place lead at 86 points to two over Capitals by Phil- adelphia Flyers 5-3. The Capitals tied the Detroit Red Wings 2-2. The Flyers, third with 81 points, are still mathemati- cally within range of the Penguins, Rangers and Devils. In other NHL games Tuesday night, the Quebec Nordiques were eliminated from playoff contention in the Adams Division after falling 3-2 to the Buffalo Sabres; and the Winnipeg Jets beat Vancouver Canucks by the same score. The Devils have won two critical games in the last three days — they beat the Rangers 7-2 last Sunday. New Jersey also extended its unbeaten streak to five games (4-0-1), tying its longest of the season, and broke a three-game Penguins winning streak. Muller's three points gave him 89 for the season, breaking the franchise record of 87 set by Wilf Paiement in 1977-78, Islanders 5 Flyers 3 U.S. Olympian Jeff Norton scored his first NHL goal at 10:44 of the third period as the Islanders extended their unbeaten streak to six games (5-0-1). Pat LaFontaine, with his 46th goal, Dale Henry, Brent Sutter and Greg Gilbert also scored for the Islanders. Ilkka Sinisalo, Derrick Smith and Ron Sutter answered for the Flyers. Capitals 2 Red Wings 2 The Red Wings, the leading penalty killers in the NHL, had allowed one goal in 27 shorthanded situations prior to giving up two power-play goals to Dale Hunter and Dave Christian. Adam Oates and Dave Barr scored for Detroit. Both teams are 1-3-2 in their last six games. Sabres 3 Nordiques 1 Mark Napier scored two goals and Darren Puppa made 46 saves as the Buffalo clinched third place in the Adams Division while Quebec lost its fifth straight. It’s the first time the Nordiques have not been in post-season play since 1979-80, their first NHL season. Ball season over already NEW YORK (AP) — For players and fans, the 1988 baseball season is just beginning but for Henry and Holly Stephenson it's history. The Stephensons are the architects of the American and National League schedules and have been since 1982. “We're already looking toward 1989,” said Henry. “After a while, you tend to think of the current year as ‘last year’ and the next year as ‘this year.” Working with a personal computer, a series of formulas and programs they desi th and the i rules contained in baseball's labor agreement, the Step- hensons schedule the 2,106 regular-season games played each year. So far, they've managed to make sure no team is scheduled to be in two different places at the same time. “What most people forget is that a home game for one team is a road game for another,” said Holly, a systems analyst. “It sounds like such a simple thing, but it's something most people ignore.” Armed with the necessary data, the couple, who work from their Staten Island home, then go to work. “We design the schedule in segments, then link the segments together to form the complete package,” Henry said. “We wrote software that generates a schedule and checks it for mistakes. “The computer knows the rules and catches any errors.” The biggest difference in scheduling involves the size of the two leagues. The National League, with 12 teams, balances much more easily than the 14-team American League, in which one East Division club serves as a “swing” team, spending the last few weeks of the season playing the AL West. This year, the swing team was changed from Cleveland to Milwaukee, meaning the Brewers will finish their intra-division play by Labor Day. After the first draft comes the hard part — dealing with teams who have individual requests that must be met. “Sometimes, the requests are predictable,” Henry said. “For example, the Boston Red Sox always want to be home on Patriots’ Day. “Because of the travel rules and the 11 a.m. starting time, we had to juggle things to keep the team that was in Boston on Sunday over for an extra day to meet that request.” Other requests aren't always as simple. “Teams don't want to be home on holidays as much as they used to,” Henry said. “Nowadays, in a lot of cities, people are out of town or the cities hold their own festivities. “In St. Louis, for example, the city has a big event of its own on the Fourth of July, and it makes it very difficult to hold a baseball game nearby, so the Cardinals like to be on the road. “In recent years, teams don’t like to schedule double- headers,” Henry said. “They used to be a big attraction, especially on Sundays, but now most teams feel it’s a waste of a game.

Community Services group offers volunteer training Have you got a genuine interest in helping people out? Like to learn more about good communication and problem solving skills? Volunteer training will be- gin at Castlegar Community Services April 18, covering basic crisis intervention and assistance skills, as well as sections on mental health, alcohol and drug abuse, wife battering and child abuse. Coordinator Patricia Lakes explained the philosophy of the centre is to offer people support and information with which to solve their prob- lems, rather than trying to step in from the outside with solutions. The mogt import- Dinner, Town Hall Forum and Fun Night with PREMIER BILL VANDER ZALM Friday, April 15 Cominco Gymnasium Trail ant part of volunteer training is to learn how to help people going through a crisis take control of their lives, she said. “The other essential for a volunteer to have is patience. Most people who find them- selves in repeated difficulties never learned in~the first place how to cope, and often people in the outside can't hang in there for the time it takes a person in cri learn better coping skills,” she said. The ten-session course is intended as an introduction, and later in the fall Com- munity Services will sponsor more in-depth wi on particular subjects, she said. Much of the volunteer work at the centre is not crisis intervention or coun. selling, however the skills are useful in all components of volunteer work “For example, our volun- teer drivers might never need crisis intervention skills, however, the one time you do, it's invaluable,” Lakes said. Programs such as volun- teer driving and the contact line are in need of revitaliza- tion, Lakes said, another reason why volunteer train- ing is necessary right now.
