Since February village officials have been waiting to hear if the three bids it ·submitted to FEMA for the repairs were within the historic preservation guidelines and last week FEMA responded. According to Musser that response consisted of FEMA informing the village that because damage done to the wall in the January 2005 flood was not reported within a 60 day time period the agency would only agree to pay for damage done in the September 2004 flood.

"I don't know if George Mitchell will chop him with .the investigation, but if he doesn't test positive , or they don ' t get something on him, ·it's just a matter of time." Bonds took the first step in ·that direction Sunday, when he hit his 715th homer to . move past Babe Ruth and into second place on the career chart. He did it with a 445-foot, two-run shot to. center off Byung-Hyun Kim in the fourth inning of a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Now, only Aaron stands· ahead of him. "Is it going to happen? I don't knpw. I can't predict can't." His fiveyear, $90 million contract with the Bonds Giants expires after the season and Bonds hasn't yet said if he will quit after 21 years in the majors or try to keep playing, perhaps as a destgnated · hitter in the American League. "I want to see him do it if he can play, " said ·Detroit manager Jim Leyland, who managed Bonds for seven years with the Pittsburgh Pirates before the slugtler left as a free agent to jom San Francisco for the 1993 season. "I know him well enough that I don't think you ' ll ever see Barry play if he thinks he!s going to embarrass him~ self. He won't stay on just to do it. I'd be shocked'. He'd be too proud of a guy for that." How long it goes with only Aaron, Bonds and Ruth in the 700 home run club is another question. Albert Pujols of St. Louis and Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees have realistic chances to join them if they can keep up their prodigious paces. I f. anyone needed a reminder who's left for Bonds; it came when the Giants unfurled two banners from the light towers on either side of the main scoreboard in center field: one of Bonds on the left and the other of Aaron's 755. "We're glad it's over," Giants manager Felipe Alou said. "We need a lot of home runs now. People don't have to count them anymore, but we need a few to win some ballgames."

' PHOENIX CAP) - The first two games of the Western Conference finals between Dallas and Phoenix were all about grace and style. Game 3 was about tough· ness. And when emotions •flared Sunday night , the Mavericks proved grittier than the Suns. Sparked by a tlrst·half shoving mat · '• I 1we e~1 Dallas guard J;Mn l i.:1 ry and Phoenix fo rward Tim Thomas, the Mavericks defeated Phoe nix '15-88 to take a 2- 1 lead Sunday night. Flex ing their, defensive muscle, the Mavericks limited the NBA's most potent attack to a playoff-low in points. The Mavs overcame an 11-point first- half deficit and regained the home-court advantage they lost in the series opener. "We just battled for 48 minutes," Dallas coach Avery Johnson said. "Teams are so evenly matched at this time of year. It comes down to will. This team is very resilient." The Mavericks are two victories away from the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history. Dirk Nowitzki had 28 points and 17 rebounds for the Mavs, and Josh Howard added 22 points and 12 rebounds. · Game 4 is Tuesday night in Phoenix. The Suns hadn't lost consecutive games since they dropped three in a row to the Los Angeles Lakers in the . first round. They lost their second straight ~arne without Raj a Bell, who ts out with a strained left calf, and fell to 15 without Bell in the regular season and playoffs. Throughout the playoffs, the Suns have perfonned best when they play with emotion and energy. They Jacked both in Game 3, and Suns point ·guard Steve Nash took hi.s teammates to task fof it. "We're out there with our shoulders slumped, and we're not smiling," said Nash, who led the Suns with 2 I points and seven assists. "We're not fighting. We're not, you know, playing with .the neces- sary fire it takes to win. I think that's the most disapPQinting thing is just the· way we' re going out there and playing." Tempers flared late in the first half when Howard was called for a fla~rant fm1l for hitting Thomas 111 the face as the Phoenix forward drove to the basket. As Thomas walked to the fou l line, he and Terry exc h a~ ged shoves, and both players were assessed technicals. Terry had been suspended for one game for throwing a punch in the second round against San Antonio. "My plan tonight was to come out extreme) y aggressive,'' Terry said. Thomas made both free throws 10 ~ive Phoenix a 5242 lead wtth 2:05 left in the half. But that would be the high point for the Suns. After t~e scuffle, the Mavericks scored the last live points of the 9.uarter to cut it to 52-47 at halfllme. Dallas kept rollinj!. after intermission , outscormg the Suns 10-2 to take a 57-54 lead. The Mavericks . cited their umped-up defense as the · turning point. "We came out in the second half and really put together some stops. which helped us gel a lead and take momen,· tum," Terry said. Dallas has been known as an offensive powerhouse in recent years, but Johnson has brought a greater respect for defense. It showed Sunday night, when the Mavs consistently forced the Suns into a hall~court game. "I know it's a cliche, but our defense really did beat our offense," Nowitzki said. The Mavericks outscored the Suns 15·2 in a sevenminute stretch after the technicals were called. ·A threepointer by Nash ended the spurt, but Phoenix managed only I 6 points in the third quarter, a series low. "We really resorted to a lot of one-on-one play," Phoenix coach Mike • D'Antoni said. "We kept battlinj!, but we just didn't get the thmg .done. We didn't play real smart."

The Mavericks answered with an I 1-2 run, capped by Keith Van Horn 's three~point play to take an 83-74 lead with 6:I 2 left. With Dallas leading 90-84 and Jess than two minutes to play, Nowitzki appeared to miss the rim as the shot clock expired. The Mavericks grabbed the rebound and were allowed to keep p~s sesston even as the Suns bench exploded in protest. The Suns were done. Even with a sellout crowd exhorting them, they never threatened to stage a late rally I ike they did in Game I. · ·:1don't know if fati&ue is a factor for us, but we re not running," Nash sajd. "It was a little frustrating to see us not get the extra effort tonight. "I mean, we had a good first half in many respects, but in the second half it's one thing not to play great; it's another thing for everyone to get quiet _ and to kind of give in," Nash said. Notes: Bell could retllrn to the lineup for Game 4 Tuesday night, coach Mike D'Aiitoni said. "Raj~ feel.s better today than he dtd yesterday," D' Antoni said before Game 3.
