82 Castlegar News May 8, 1988 . ___ SPORTS EAST RUTERFORD, N.J. (AP) — For the first time in the playoffs, the New Jersey Devils have fallen behind in a series after three games. And the Boston Bruins looked very good Friday night in winning Game 3 of the Wales Conference final 6-1 as Ray Bourque keyed a five-goal second pe: by setting up Ken Linseman, Bob Joyce and Lyndon Byers in a 73-second span. To make matters worse for the Devils, coach Jim Schoenfeld was involved in a post-game altercation with referee Don Koharski, who wound up on the ground. “I hope it’s on camera,” Schoenfeld said. “If not, I know there were enough people standing there who saw it, including a league supervisor (John McCauley). “He (Koharski) bumped into me. He went into a tirade. My hands were at my side and he fell.” Koharski refused to talk about the incident. However, NHL spokesman Gary Meagher said the referee would file a report with league executive vice-president Brian O'Neill. | CALLS PENALTIES The dispute centred on a group of penalties called at 19:30 of the first period. Kirk Muller got the original infraction for holding and then Pat Verbeek of New Jersey and Keith Ctowder of Boston squared off with Verbeek picking entour minutes for roughing and Crowder two. The call gave the Bruins a four-minute power play, with the final 3:30 of the penalty coming at the start of the second period. Linseman and Joyce scored power-play goals in the opening 2:03 of the period and Byers ended the three-goal binge by capping a 2-on-1 with Steve Kasper and beating Devils goalie Sean Burke at 2:18, Penalties kill Devils in third series game “We were hoping to get the first segment (of the power play) over before they scored,” Burke said. “But all the sudden, we were down 3-0 and that's hard to overcome.” Schoenfeld quickly removed Burke and brought in jauve. But the Boston onslaught continued for the rest of the period with Gord Kluzak and Linseman, who had two goals and two assists, adding goals. SCORES WINNER Bourque, who scored the game winner in the opening game, said the second period might have been the Bruins’ best of the playoffs. He also offered a word of caution. “We're only up a game. We've got to remember that we have to come out here Sunday and do the same thing. ‘The Devils have had trouble at home lately, losing their last three playoff games at the Brendan Byrne Arena Devils forward Mark Johnson said the team simply has to forget how badly it played Friday night. “You can't live in the past,” Johnson said. “If you do, you're in trouble. Now we have to do something about Game 4.” The Devils also must start scoring on Bruins goalie Reggie Lemelin, who stopped 23 shots in raising his playoff record to 9-2. The only shot that beat him was a power-play goal by Brendan Shanahan from in close. “We just didn’t give them any room,” Lemelin said. “We made them look bad. “We played well. We were disciplined. We stopped them at the blueline. We took the body. We didn't do anything fancy. We did what we were supposed to do.” Tom McCarthy added Boston's final goal with 6:55 to play on a breakaway.

After just one season in Division 2, Villa returned to the top flight by securing a 0-0 draw at Swindon, edging out Middlesbrough and Brandford City, both of Bradford City, both of which were beaten at home. Middlesbrough, which led Villa and Bradford by a point going into Saturday's final series of matches, lost 2-1 to Leicester City. Bradford took an early lead against Ipswich but caved in 3-2. Villa,, whose form had slumped in recent weeks af- ter dominating the second division for long periods of the season, ended up with exactly the same goal diff- erence as Middlesbrough. But the Midlands team, which won the Champions Cup in 1982, was promoted by virture of having scored more goals, Millwall, a dock- lands team from East London already was promoted last week as second division champions. There was some consola- tion, however, for Middles brough and Bradford.

A statement released by the Yankees said Martin was taken to Arlington Hospital for emergency treatment and held overnight for observa. tion. Martin, who has been in- volved in numerous alterca- tions in the past, was exon- erated by team owner George Steinbrenner. “T'm convinced after speak- ing to various individuals that Billy Martin was vic- timized in this incident,” Steinbrenner said in the said Martin and two unnamed compan- ions stopped at a bar fol lowing the team’s 7-6 loss to the Texas Rangers. Martin was ejected from the game after kicking dirt on umpire Tim Welke in the ninth inn- ing, and was still upset about being thrown out of the game. TAUNTED MARTIN The Yankees said some bar patrons taunted Martin about the loss and Martin took it good-naturedly. The statement said Martin went into the restroom, where “he was accosted by three in. dividuals who without provo- cation attacked (him).” It said he suffered injuries to the lower part of his ear, which began to bleed profuse ly. He was then treated at the team's hotel before being taken to the hospital. Weekend HOCKEY Nit pleyoHt scoring leoders after Friday's gome: Detroit 8 Seattie 4 Chi Baltimore.

I ran across this advice, from a marketing expert, about how to make churches in the United States more appealing. The advice goes like this: “My strategy is to consoli- date the various name brands into one identifiable entity. I have decided upon the name Middle. American Christian Church, or MacChurch for ad purposes. The target aud fence here is Mom, Dad, Butch and Sis, solid suburban Americans who want a little God in their life and a place to go before brunch. “This will be a ‘no sur- prises’ church. When dad brings the family here, he can be sure they will not be asked to speak in tongues, handle snakes, or send money to the Sandinistas.” This tongue-in-cheek ad- vice suggests how to make a church pleasant to attend. A combination’ of clever pro- motion and a “no surprises” experience should make the church a comfortable place to drop into for a little God, before brunch. I sometimes get the un- comfortable feeling that there indeed are churehes something like this, more concerned with getting them there, and making them feel good once they've got ‘em, than with reminding people about Jesus. T have actually read a book which seriously promotes at- tractive architecture, glossy paper (“to give the impres- sion of success”), surveys to determine what topics in- terest people, big-name speakers, and, of course, lots of entertaining music. This is apparently a successful rec- ipe for church growth. § But I wonder what kind of a church is being grown, if that’s how it’s done. As I understand it, the chureh is supposed to repre sent Jesus today, and Jesus was no glossy success. Some. times there were crowds, but the crowds tended to be made up of the desperately sincere, not those who casu ally wanted a little God be. fore brunch. Jesus tended to drive away the casual and in sincere. As I understand it, Jesus's greatest success was with a relatively small num- ber of followers who began to understand what He was actually all about. And be- longing to that small number usually meant accepting the hardships and risks that went with following Jesus. Jesus did not offer a com- fortable pew. Instead, he in- vited people to take up a cross. I would observe that churches are at their best today when they reject the temptation to please people, and instead try, hard to represent Jesus as best they understand Him. Of course, that can include having a good time. There is much to be happy about in our faith, and a church com- munity can be a place of much contentment. But re- presenting Jesus also in- cludes the uncomfortable challenges to follow a “Man for Others” who cared more about loving the outcast, and warning: of God's judgment, than about pleasing the crowds. Happily, it's my obser- vation that most churches today do try to present the truth more than please the people. But the lure of “success” is still a constant temptation.

It will allow junior mining compan ies, such as those in Koot enay West, that have been so active the last several years, to continue their aggressive exploration program.” The basic 100 per cent tax deduction will remain, but the earned depletion portion of the scheme will be phased down.

But other times I feel really proud.” The author of two books for children, Dusty, and Starshine and other stories, Schwartz told the gathering of 40-50 students how she started writing, had the courage to persevere despite many rejection slips, and finally had her work accepted by two local publishers, Sol- stice Books and Polestar Press.
