NIGHTCLUB MAKES FALSE CLAIM OF CARTER'S PARTY APPEARANCE

          The Raptors and PMI ProSports Marketing, Vince Carter's
     marketing agency, yesterday "denounced circulated flyers
     that claimed" Carter would appear at Hooterville Station, a
     Toronto nightclub, for an event organized by GS
     Entertainment, according to Bill Harris of the TORONTO SUN. 
     The flyers made reference to a "Special Appearance by Vince
     Carter," but PMI's Misti Heacox said, "In no way, shape or
     form is Vince involved."  Heacox, when asked if "any type of
     legal action is in the offing," added, "For now we just want
     to make sure people don't think Vince will be there." 
     Hooterville Station GM Paul Earle said the venue has
     "nothing to do with the promotion or the event itself." 
     Earle: "One of the promoters approached me and said that
     somebody he works with, either as a prank or a joke or
     something, had issued these flyers saying Vince Carter was
     appearing" (TORONTO SUN, 1/20).
