Coleman spen t .almost three years with the Sixers before the club failed to exercise his option after the 1998 season . H e instead signed with Charlotte. After the game, the surly nineyear veteran went through the Hornets' locket room con gratulating every player. " It's playoff basketball, man.You can't help but be pumped," he said. Allen Iverson , 'fho scored a ca reer playoff high 40 points in Game 1, tied his ca re er playoff low with 13 points. It was the first time in Iverson's 10 playoff ga me s he failed to lead the 76ers in sca rmg. " ! just nussed shots," Iverson said. " I missed layups. I missed wide-open shots.

He wasn't any better in the second half. His first shot of the third quarter didn 't even hit the rim, and he struggled to get anything off on Jones who has a six-inch height advantage on him. What shots he could take either rattled off the rim or grazed the glass and bounced into Charlotte's hands. He missed a three-point attempt with under a minute to play in overtime and shot j ust 5for-2 1 for the game. " I had the same game plankeep him on the court, stay on him and co ntest his shots," Jones S>id. The rest of the Sixers picked up the slack for Iverson and had an H9-H-l lea d with four minutes to play. But David Wesley hit a three and the Hornets tied it at 89 when . Mason dunked with one second left on tho shot clock and 1:01 to pfay in regulation. The Hornets then toolr. a 91-89 lead, their first since early in the fourth quarter, on Campbell's tip-m with 26 seconds to play. The 76ers tied it on Eric Snow's jumper with 12 seconds to go. Jones n\issed an 18-foot fadeaway jumper over Aaron McKie, who was in on defense in place of Iverson, as time' expired in regulation. Toni Kukoc led , Philadelphia with :20 points, Snow scored 19 and Hill had 10. Jazz 101, SuperSonics 87 Karl Malone had :23 points, fewer than half the 50 he scored in Gam• 1. Still, Utah dominated at home. Game 3 is Saturday at Seattle, which trailed by 17 at halftime Tuesday and 27 at the end of three periods. Only 12 teams have raJlied to win a series after trailing 20, and none since the Houston Rockets in 1995. John Stockton had 21 points and 11 assists for the Jazz, who · shot 56 percent and rested their st~rters in the fourth quarter. Bryon Ru ssell added 19 points and substitute Howard Eisley had 15, including fo ur three-poi nters. Malon e became the fourth player in NBA history with 4,000 points in the playoffs, joir1ing Michael Jo rdan (5 ,987 points), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (5,762) and Jerry West (4,.157).

Middleport Mayor Sandy lannarelli is exp,ected to sign a similar proclamation: . . Millions of Americans of ,all faiths will gather together across the nation at town squares, state 1~:apitol steps, stadiurtlS, parks, churches, synagogues and other public places on May 4, to observe the 40th consecutive N ational Day of Prayer. It will be Meigs County's eighth observance. More than 20,000 events are plann ed in local communities, including Meigs, to pray for the qation, its leaders, local ani! state officials, educators, law enforcement personn.d and American families: On May 5, 1988, the tOOth U.S. Congress passed a bill, signed by then-President Reagan , "to provide for setting aside the first Thursday in May as the date on which the National Day of Prayer is celebrated." Although the annual event was established by an act of Congress in 1952, it did not begin to gain momentum until a specific day was ·set aside for an observation. • Now, 12 years later, participation in the N ational Day of Prayer continu es to grow and become a vital part of our American heritage. The theme for 2000 is "PRAY2K- America's . Hope for the New Millennium," reflecting the biblical exhortation in Romans 12: 12 that tells us to "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

With demands placed on educators to spur their students 'to academic exceUence, there is not enough time to cope with student pressures arising from the home or their socioeconomic status.

That's where a social worker assigned to one or two schools comes in. "The worker o!RI:s social services for the school and community. working with families and addressing needs. It even extends to non-custodial parents, with an emphasis on services to vulnerable children and their families. In rural areas such as ours, coping with large classroom sizes, placement of a social worker is a concept that's been a long time coming. The program allows the worker to focus on individual problems, placing kids back on track with their studies. Various services are available for parents and students to find solutions. Often, they are unaware these services exist or what they do. The social worker connects them with the right agency for the proper treatment. Providing the funding in Ohio has been a welcome addition to the educational scene. Due to the success seen in counties that have adopted the program, chances are the legislature may continue with the program. . . The goal is certainly an admirable one.

How humorous Al Gore never ceases to amaze. The very last thing anyone would have expected of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee 1s that he would remind the American people of his unlawfi•l fimd-raising activities during the 19\16 presidential compaign - such as his attendance of a ti.md-raiser at a suburban Los Angeles Buddhist temple and his more than 50 solicitatiom of campaign money on a White House telephone: But there was Gore last month. at Marquette U11iversity, posing as a born-again campaign finance reformer, proposing putative reforms- · including public fin ancing of congressional campaigns and free television time for federal candidates - that have less than zero chance of being enacted. · Even if Gore is elected. Even if a Democra-' tic Congrc>S is elected alon g with him. For if Gore and his fell ow Democrat' really and truly favored such campaign finance "reforms," .they would have enacted them way back in 1992 when they controlled both the White House and Congress. But enough about campaign finance reform. For the vice president has moved on to another issue that brings back still more bad memories of the 1996 presidential election .. Indeed, the next-to-last thing anyone would have expected of candidate Gore is that he would remind the American people of how he tampered with the citizenship process four years ago in a bid to add hundreds of thousands of new voters to Democratic Party rolls just in time for rhe election. But there was Gore, a few weeks ago, announcing that the administration proposes to offer legal residency to more than 500,000 undocumented immigrant,; (more than a third of whom reside in California) who failed to take advantage of the 1996 federal amnesty program for one reason or another. The proposal is said to be an attempt by the administration to resolve class-action lawsuits on behalf of an estimated 350,000 undocumented immigrants who claim that they were discouraged from applying for the 1986 amnesty program because of short-term absences fiom the United States. (The s)lit would also apply to another 150,000 or so undocu'mented inunigrants who are not plain- the next presidential election, to propose thi~ · _ change in imn1igration policy. No, the real aim of this sop to undocumented inunigrants is to keep Hispanic voters from defecting from Gore to his Republican opponent George W. Bush, who has demonstrated an· ability in his home state ofTexas to win Hispanic support. Of course, the Gore staff denies any political motivation in proposing legal residency for 500,000 undocumented immigrants. But the NEA COLUMNIST denials ring as hollow as the Gore staff's insis-: • tence in 19% that the only reason the vice president involved his of:iice with the "Citizen USA" program was to reduce the backlog of. tiffi in the suit.)

Gerald Perritt of the BY JoHN CUNNIFF NEW YORK - What's wrong with a $1,000 investment that grows to nearly S300,000 in five years? Nothing, you might say - but think again and you might discover one of the big differences between the old stock market and the new. It isn't just money, it's time too. , You could make real money in the old stock market, but you had to wait a bit, like decades instead of years, or years instead of months. Had you invested t hat $1 ,000 in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, were such a vehicle available at the beginning of 1949, you would have had $289,000 at the end of 1999. Modern-day investors, especially those seeking 2,000 percent profits in one year, and perhaps getting it (and more) as did those who invested in Qualconun in 1999, are an anxious bunch unsuited to waiting. It is this nervous anticipation that provided much of the enerrw behind the so-called Mutual Fund Letter calculates from 1995-9?, · stocks returned an average of 28.6 percent. •· That's an annual rate, of course, and thouSJt . extraordinarily high, it really fails to convey the true impact.

Camp members were ..Sked to volunteer for checking a cemetery. Myron Jones of Oak Hill announced that the Ohio Bicentennial Cormnission is seeking to lucate all monuments of a Civil War nature. Those · known in Meigs County are the courthouse statue, the cannons at the Middleport war ll)emorial, the G.A.R. cement cannon in Chester Cemetery. the can·non in 6ont ofSyracuse Elementary, the G.A.R. monument in Robin·sc>n Cemetery, the Maj. Daniel McCook m(mument at Portland, and the Buffiqgton Island monument in Portland. Jones also announced that two Civil War Claro - monuments have been received to be placed on Union .veterans' graves this spring. The camp passed asking that the remains of an unknown Union Veteran of the Civil War be included in the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington National Cemetery. Remains of Union soldiers are still being located around Civil War battlefields yet today that could be used. Robert Barton of Middleport displayed his newly acquired Civil War service medal of his grandfather, Dr. Thomas H. Barton of Syracuse, who served as a hospital steward in the Fourth West Virginia Infantry. With the help of the canip, he supplied the documentation to the West Virginia Archives to claim · the medal. The camp discussed the currently proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect the U.S. flag fio111 desecration. The S.U.V. is currently on record in supj,oit of this amendment. Concern was raised in that currently .the U.S. flag code does not permit the pJacing of any wording on a U. S. flag. This regulation did not exist during the Civil War and Union units placed the names of their units on U.S. flags as well as the names ofbattles in which they participated. Also, the Grand Army of the Republic, the forerunner of the Sons of Union Veterans, also placed the names of their posts on U. S. flags. . Since Civil War reenacting requires the need to place wording on U.S. flags, the camp voted to support federal law that would allow such wording for Civil War period reproduction flags and for Civil War heritage organizations in the event that such an amendment is passed. The Ohio Society ofPrisoners of Andersonville will meet April 9 at Uhrichsville.James Oiler will be the speaker.

Often, they are unaware these services exist or what they do. The social worker connects them with the right agency for the proper treatment. Providing the funding in Ohio has been a welcome addition to the educational scene. Due to the success seen in counties that have adopted the program, chances are the legislature may continue with the program. . . The goal is certainly an admirable one. Even taxpayers have to admit it's a wiser appropriation of their money. Ann Landers some coffee.

How humorous Al Gore never ceases to amaze. The very last thing anyone would have expected of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee 1s that he would remind the American people of his unlawfi•l fimd-raising activities during the 19\16 presidential compaign - such as his attendance of a ti.md-raiser at a suburban Los Angeles Buddhist temple and his more than 50 solicitatiom of campaign money on a White House telephone: But there was Gore last month. at Marquette U11iversity, posing as a born-again campaign finance reformer, proposing putative reforms- · including public fin ancing of congressional campaigns and free television time for federal candidates - that have less than zero chance of being enacted. · Even if Gore is elected. Even if a Democra-' tic Congrc>S is elected alon g with him. For if Gore and his fell ow Democrat' really and truly favored such campaign finance "reforms," .they would have enacted them way back in 1992 when they controlled both the White House and Congress. But enough about campaign finance reform. For the vice president has moved on to another issue that brings back still more bad memories of the 1996 presidential election .. Indeed, the next-to-last thing anyone would have expected of candidate Gore is that he would remind the American people of how he tampered with the citizenship process four years ago in a bid to add hundreds of thousands of new voters to Democratic Party rolls just in time for rhe election. But there was Gore, a few weeks ago, announcing that the administration proposes to offer legal residency to more than 500,000 undocumented immigrant,; (more than a third of whom reside in California) who failed to take advantage of the 1996 federal amnesty program for one reason or another. The proposal is said to be an attempt by the administration to resolve class-action lawsuits on behalf of an estimated 350,000 undocumented immigrants who claim that they were discouraged from applying for the 1986 amnesty program because of short-term absences fiom the United States. (The s)lit would also apply to another 150,000 or so undocu'mented inunigrants who are not plain- the next presidential election, to propose thi~ · _ change in imn1igration policy. No, the real aim of this sop to undocumented inunigrants is to keep Hispanic voters from defecting from Gore to his Republican opponent George W. Bush, who has demonstrated an· ability in his home state ofTexas to win Hispanic support. Of course, the Gore staff denies any political motivation in proposing legal residency for 500,000 undocumented immigrants. But the NEA COLUMNIST denials ring as hollow as the Gore staff's insis-: • tence in 19% that the only reason the vice president involved his of:iice with the "Citizen USA" program was to reduce the backlog of. tiffi in the suit.)

Gerald Perritt of the BY JoHN CUNNIFF NEW YORK - What's wrong with a $1,000 investment that grows to nearly S300,000 in five years? Nothing, you might say - but think again and you might discover one of the big differences between the old stock market and the new. It isn't just money, it's time too. , You could make real money in the old stock market, but you had to wait a bit, like decades instead of years, or years instead of months. Had you invested t hat $1 ,000 in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, were such a vehicle available at the beginning of 1949, you would have had $289,000 at the end of 1999. Modern-day investors, especially those seeking 2,000 percent profits in one year, and perhaps getting it (and more) as did those who invested in Qualconun in 1999, are an anxious bunch unsuited to waiting. It is this nervous anticipation that provided much of the enerrw behind the so-called Mutual Fund Letter calculates from 1995-9?, · stocks returned an average of 28.6 percent. •· That's an annual rate, of course, and thouSJt . extraordinarily high, it really fails to convey the true impact.

Camp members were ..Sked to volunteer for checking a cemetery. Myron Jones of Oak Hill announced that the Ohio Bicentennial Cormnission is seeking to lucate all monuments of a Civil War nature. Those · known in Meigs County are the courthouse statue, the cannons at the Middleport war ll)emorial, the G.A.R. cement cannon in Chester Cemetery. the can·non in 6ont ofSyracuse Elementary, the G.A.R. monument in Robin·sc>n Cemetery, the Maj. Daniel McCook m(mument at Portland, and the Buffiqgton Island monument in Portland. Jones also announced that two Civil War Claro - monuments have been received to be placed on Union .veterans' graves this spring. The camp passed asking that the remains of an unknown Union Veteran of the Civil War be included in the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington National Cemetery. Remains of Union soldiers are still being located around Civil War battlefields yet today that could be used. Robert Barton of Middleport displayed his newly acquired Civil War service medal of his grandfather, Dr. Thomas H. Barton of Syracuse, who served as a hospital steward in the Fourth West Virginia Infantry. With the help of the canip, he supplied the documentation to the West Virginia Archives to claim · the medal. The camp discussed the currently proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect the U.S. flag fio111 desecration. The S.U.V. is currently on record in supj,oit of this amendment. Concern was raised in that currently .the U.S. flag code does not permit the pJacing of any wording on a U. S. flag. This regulation did not exist during the Civil War and Union units placed the names of their units on U.S. flags as well as the names ofbattles in which they participated. Also, the Grand Army of the Republic, the forerunner of the Sons of Union Veterans, also placed the names of their posts on U. S. flags. . Since Civil War reenacting requires the need to place wording on U.S. flags, the camp voted to support federal law that would allow such wording for Civil War period reproduction flags and for Civil War heritage organizations in the event that such an amendment is passed. The Ohio Society ofPrisoners of Andersonville will meet April 9 at Uhrichsville.James Oiler will be the speaker. The annual Civil War relics show will be held at the Richland County Fairgrounds at Mansfield onMay6-7.

It may even occur as a consequence of nicotine use. Raynaud's syndrome is often more of a nuisance than it is a serious disability, as I hope it is for you. Most individuals suffering with the illness are comfortable if they just keep their hands and feet warm. This is true even though the condition doe s tend to ge t progressively worse "' the years pass. The most effective treatment is the avoidance of cold weather. That is easier for th ose who live in Florida, but not so easy for you and me who are here in Ohio. Consequently, this means you should be the first person in your neighborhood to get o ut warm boots and m ittens. . And I stress "mittens" because when wearing them, each finge r warms its neighbor. Therefore , they are mu ch warmer th:rn gloves. It is also important to avoid the use of tobac co and cough, co ld, and sinus remedies that co n tai n decongestan ts since these can worsen the circu lation problems of this ill ness . M e dicines in the "be ta blocker" fami ly are used for many heart conditions and for high blood pressure . These drugs make Raynaud 's m uch wo rse, and therefore, sho uld be avoided . Medicines in the "calcium channel blocker" fami ly, particularly nifedipine, ca n provide some relief of the symptoms . Ot her produc ts can help ci rcu la tion or ca n cause prob]ems, too. Therefore, yo u re ally need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about each one you take. I recommend that you talk with your doctor agai n abo ut your Raynaud's syndrome.

A hearing officer for the National Labor Relations Board recommended dismissal ofWal-Mart's objections to a 7-3 vote in February by meat cutters at the Wai-Mart in Jacksonville, Texas, 100 miles southeast of Dallas. The recommendation, made Friday, was released late Monday. Wai-Mart argued that union organizers used illegal tactics and acted improperly by providing "alcohol, cash and sexual titillation" to induce employees to vote for union representation. Wai-Mart spokeswoman Jessica Moser said Tuesday that the company will protest the recommendation to the NLRB, which must certify the union representation. "Many people would think if you take someone to a strip bar and buy them drinks and give them money, that might sway someone's vote;' she said. Wildfire scorches swampland GROVELAND, Aa. (AP) - A wildfire powered by high winds spread through swamp and timber in central Florida, prompting a call for voluntary evacuations. · Firefighters said the I ,800-acre blaze threatened about a dozen homes and a shelter was opened Tuesday at an elementary school for · more than 50 people. One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation. The fire began Monday. A day later, billowing smoke could' be seeri in downtown Orlando, covering the east-central part of the state in a haze, said Jim Karels, assistant chief of the Forest Protection Bureau of the Florida Division of Forestry. "It's up and running," Karels said. Winds were supposed to calm today and Karels said that should allow firefighters a chance to begin containing the blaze. A separate blaze burned 5 acres in Osceola County in the busy tourist corridor about 20 miles southwest of Orlando. The fire was brought under control and caused little damage.

(AP) -The families ofall20 people killed when a Marine jet clipped an Italian ski gondola rwo years ago have accepted settlements of nearly $2 million apiece, the attorney for five Belgian families said Tuesday. C. Torrence Armstrong, a lawyer representiQg the Belgians, said his clients will drop a lawsuit seeking damages against the United States in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond,Va. The settlements were acceptedAprii14,Armstrongsaid.He said the U.S. government is responsible for paying 75 percent of the $40 million total and the Italian government will pay 25 percent. "The sad part is that this is what the United States should have done rwo years ago;' Armstrong said in a telephone interview, adding that his clients did not .accept the settlement happily. "In taking ·this long, it's not a very satisfying feeling for them." The payments are governed by the accord covering civil and criminal legal activities of NATO troops in foreign countries. Under the accord, the host country pays 25 percent of the datnages while the country responsible for the accident pays the relnaining 75 percent. • Sierra Club to spend millions on congressional races, WASHINGTON (AP) - Hoping to make the environment a bigger 'political issue, the Sierra Club began an S8 million TV and radio campaign Tuesday aimed at 17 congressional races. The ads, mosdy pnising Democrats, will be combined ·with other activities, including voter guides and fliers at cornrnl!nity events, as the · group attempts to elect a more pi:'(H:nvironment Congress. The Sierra Club is spending several hundred thousand dollars on the first round of ads, which began airing Tuesday. Within the next couple of months, the group also plans ads on the presidential campaign, criticizing the record of Gov. George W Bush in Texas, as it did during the GOP primaries. It may also air ads ptaising Democrat AI Gore. Hoping to nwlee the environment a bigger political issue, the Sierra Club began an $8 million TV and radio campaign 'IUuday aimed at' 17 congressional racu. The ads unveiled Tuesday both praise and criticize candidates for the House and Senate, almost exclusively helping Democrats. Just one Republican is ptaised and no Democrats are criticized. " It's no secret that Democrats generally have better reconls;' said Dan Weiss, political director for the Sierra Club. The group w<iuld not say who was paying for the campaign. The money is being routed using a provision of the tax code that allows the group to avoid paying taXes on contributions without requiring it to say where the money comes from. The group said it was looking for tight races where it could make a difference, and it chose many of the closest races around the country But the one Republican who is praised, Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut, is not expected to face stiff competition. In his district, the Sierra Club plans to run only radio ads. Most places will see television ads, typically around TV news shows. Using polling that shows people care about local environmental concerns, the group is targeting each campaign around a local issue. Ib Michigan, it's pollution jn the Great Lakes. In Washington state, it's salmon .runs. And in Montana, it's contamination from the Zortman-Landusky Mine. The ~aily . DAYTON (AP) - Texas Cincinnati was taken April 5 Gov. George W.

A hearing officer for the National Labor Relations Board recommended dismissal ofWal-Mart's objections to a 7-3 vote in February by meat cutters at the Wai-Mart in Jacksonville, Texas, 100 miles southeast of Dallas. The recommendation, made Friday, was released late Monday. Wai-Mart argued that union organizers used illegal tactics and acted improperly by providing "alcohol, cash and sexual titillation" to induce employees to vote for union representation. Wai-Mart spokeswoman Jessica Moser said Tuesday that the company will protest the recommendation to the NLRB, which must certify the union representation. "Many people would think if you take someone to a strip bar and buy them drinks and give them money, that might sway someone's vote;' she said. Wildfire scorches swampland GROVELAND, Aa. (AP) - A wildfire powered by high winds spread through swamp and timber in central Florida, prompting a call for voluntary evacuations. · Firefighters said the I ,800-acre blaze threatened about a dozen homes and a shelter was opened Tuesday at an elementary school for · more than 50 people. One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation. The fire began Monday. A day later, billowing smoke could' be seeri in downtown Orlando, covering the east-central part of the state in a haze, said Jim Karels, assistant chief of the Forest Protection Bureau of the Florida Division of Forestry. "It's up and running," Karels said. Winds were supposed to calm today and Karels said that should allow firefighters a chance to begin containing the blaze. A separate blaze burned 5 acres in Osceola County in the busy tourist corridor about 20 miles southwest of Orlando. The fire was brought under control and caused little damage.

(AP) -The families ofall20 people killed when a Marine jet clipped an Italian ski gondola rwo years ago have accepted settlements of nearly $2 million apiece, the attorney for five Belgian families said Tuesday.

"In taking ·this long, it's not a very satisfying feeling for them." The payments are governed by the accord covering civil and criminal legal activities of NATO troops in foreign countries.

The ads, mosdy pnising Democrats, will be combined ·with other activities, including voter guides and fliers at cornrnl!nity events, as the · group attempts to elect a more pi:'(H:nvironment Congress. The Sierra Club is spending several hundred thousand dollars on the first round of ads, which began airing Tuesday. Within the next couple of months, the group also plans ads on the presidential campaign, criticizing the record of Gov. George W Bush in Texas, as it did during the GOP primaries. It may also air ads ptaising Democrat AI Gore. Hoping to nwlee the environment a bigger political issue, the Sierra Club began an $8 million TV and radio campaign 'IUuday aimed at' 17 congressional racu. The ads unveiled Tuesday both praise and criticize candidates for the House and Senate, almost exclusively helping Democrats. Just one Republican is ptaised and no Democrats are criticized. " It's no secret that Democrats generally have better reconls;' said Dan Weiss, political director for the Sierra Club. The group w<iuld not say who was paying for the campaign. The money is being routed using a provision of the tax code that allows the group to avoid paying taXes on contributions without requiring it to say where the money comes from. The group said it was looking for tight races where it could make a difference, and it chose many of the closest races around the country But the one Republican who is praised, Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut, is not expected to face stiff competition. In his district, the Sierra Club plans to run only radio ads. Most places will see television ads, typically around TV news shows. Using polling that shows people care about local environmental concerns, the group is targeting each campaign around a local issue. Ib Michigan, it's pollution jn the Great Lakes. In Washington state, it's salmon .runs. And in Montana, it's contamination from the Zortman-Landusky Mine. The ~aily . DAYTON (AP) - Texas Cincinnati was taken April 5 Gov. George W.

Beathard said he spoke ~arli er Tuesday with Joe Gibbs, whom he hired as coach of, the Washington Redskins in 1981. Together, they won two of.the three Super Bowls they reached in the 1980s.

One of his legacies will be mortgaging the club 's fmqre in o rder to take quarterback Ryan Leaf with the second overall pi i:k in the 1998 draft. . Leaf has been nothing but troubl~ to the C hargers, both on and off the field . In Nove mber, Leaf c~rsed Beathard, drawing a fourgame suspe nsion. Beathard said LOaf's escapades didn't lead to him leaving w ith two years left on hi s . "Oh, God no. Hey, look, those things are unfortunately part of the game. I'll still be rooting for him to pull it together. Th ere are too many neat guys with this organization to have anything like that run me off," he said. .Beathard is leaving now for <everal reasons. One is he wants to spend more time with his wife, C hristi ne, and their four children and 12 grandchildren, who are scattered througho ut th e cou ntry. : "I thought really the best time to do it is now," Beathard said. 'There are a lot of things Christ(ne and I want to do." · B.eath ard also is comfortabl e ~ith the direction the team is heading under popular coach Mike Riley, who got the C hargers to 8-8 last year after they had won a: total of nin e games the previou s !Wo years. ; " I thtnk they're going to make t~ e playoffs," Beathard said.

LOUIS (AP} - As the first period wound down, Owen Nolan wound up, and got a big surprise. Nolan 's 65-foot drive from outside the blue line, which deflected into the net off Roman Tu~k's glove to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-0 lead, was the last in a series of crazy bounces that graced the Western Conference's No. 8 seed. It also was the killer as they eliminated the NHL's regular-season c hampions , the St. Louis Blues, with a 3-1 Game 7 victory Tuesday night. " It's been a fluky series for goals," Nolan said. "I thought, 'Why not just shoot it on net and see what happens?' He bobbled it · and it \Wilt in ." Turek, who won a Stanley Cup last y~ar with the Dallas Stars without playing a minute!', was devasta ted ,after the end of hi s first postseaso n as a regular. " I fed so bad," Turck said. "I think it was a key moment. You cannot win in the playoffs tf you have goaltending like I played these games .'' The Blu es see mingly seized oonrrol in Game 6 with a 6-2 victory in Sa n Jose, c hasi ng Sharks goalie Steve Shields after scoring ftve second-period goals. But they landed with a thud in their quest to become the 16th team in NHL history to rally from a 3-1 series deficit. Their fran chise-record 114 points and Presidents' Ttophy are hollow reminders of what could have been. " Obviously, there was a lot of talk about us going a long way," said Scott Young, who scored his sixth goal in the third period. "But you can never look past the first round. It 's something .that we didn't seem to mentally prepare for." The Blues are only the second NHL· regular-season champio n to get kn ocked out in the first round, joining the 1991 Chicago Blackha\vks. Since t h~ Presidents' Cup was established in the 1985-86 seas()n , only fou r of t h ~ 15 winners have gone on to win th~ Stanley Cup Shidds made a strong comeback from his Game 6 disaster, . stopp ing } I · shots. The S h~rk s' co nfiden ce m Shi efds ncwr wavered. "It's good to see that after the embarrassment of the last game that we got refocused, especially Shields," Nolan said. "He really got the job done for us. "We knew he'd be solid and we just tried to build our game around him." Ronnie Stern and Jeff Friesen also scored for the Sharks, who fmished 27 points behind the Blues. This <s their third major first- round upset in the nine -year fran chise history, joining triumphs over No. I conference seed Detroit in 1994 and No. 2 Calgary in 1995 . "They withstood all the C htcken Littles who said they weren't going to win a game," coach Darryl Sutter said. "The team that won deserved to win ." The Sharks will face the Pacific Division champion Dallas Stars in ch~ S(!Co nd round beginning, Friday night at Dallas. On Thursday night, it's Detroit at Colorado in the West, whil< New Jersey is at Toronto and Pittsburgh visits Philadelph ia in the East. , Young, ~vho had a hat trick in Ga me 6, scored o n a third- period power play fo r Sr. Louis. But Blues stars AI Macinnis and Pierre Turgeon we re quiet, and captain C hris Pronger was on the ice for the Sharks' first two goals. Stern gave the Sharks the lead on the game's second shot with his fint goal, and 'point, of the playoffs.Turek was slow to recover and out of position when Stern took the puck off the glass behind the net and slipped in a backhand ~hot at 2:51. A miscue by defenseman M arc Bergevin helped the Sharks make · it 3-0. Bergevin tried to catch a puck, but bobbled it as Friesen and Tomas Sundstrom converged on him , creating a 2-on-none break. Friesen misfired on his first attempt, but slapped it home after the puck got tangled in a bunch of legs near th e net. T he Blues narrowed the gap to two goals when Young scored at 2:09 of the third, seconds after [>ranger hit the goal post and the goal li ght \Wnt on prematurely. Some of the Sharks appeared to rdax. St. Louis missed a chance to make it closer after Stephane Matteau got a double minor for highsti cking Ladislav Nagy at 2: l2. AI Maclnms blunted the power play, whic h featured 29 seconds of 5on- 3 advantage, when he was called for holding at 3:33 . Carter calls NFL~imposed suspension harsh, unf~ir' 1 DENVER (AP} Denver Broncos corne rback Dale Carter reacted angrily to his one-year suspension, calling the NFL action "harsh" and '.'unfair." Carter was suspended .for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. · The NFL handed down its ruling Tuesday, rejecting Carter's appeal, w hic h was made at a lengthy hearing on April 5. The league said Carter will be eligible for reinstatement next February. Carter, 30, stands to le»c $3.5 million in b ase salary, atid he might also have to reimburse the Broncos a prorated portion of his $7 .8 million signing bonus. Alr~ady a two-time offender of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, Carter is believed to have missed at least two drug tests during January and . February. The NFL, which declined comment specifically on Carter's case, co unts a missed test the same as a failed test. Carter's agent, Mitch Frankel, confirmed Tuesday that Carter "missed the tests. There were overriding factors which I would rather not get into, different reasons. lt was not his intent to avoid being tested." In a sta tement, Carter said, " I can not begin to comprehend the NFL's decision to suspend me for one year without resting positive for any drug use whatsoever. I understand that not cooperating with the NFL's program for substance abuse is equivalent to testing positive. However, I did cooperate with the program to the best of my ability and demonstrated such cooperation during my . appeal. "Based upo n the evidence I presented, the severity of the punishment is extraordinary. I pray that other players in the NFL will nevet need to fight for their livelihoods under the harsh, unfair. circumstances that I had to face." Frankel agreed with hi&client. "I just felt the severity of the punishment ... is highly disproportional and unjustified," he said. The suspension could mean Carter's career with the Broncos is over. Because of the pending suspension, the Broncos selected cornerback/kick returner Deltha O'Neal of California in the first round of the NFL draft 10 days ago. The ream also signed three fre e-agent cornerbacks in the offseason; Jeremy Lincoln, Jimmy Spencer and Darcy! Pounds will compete with holdover backup Chris Watson.
