The 1980 Baseball Season : Coach Brown's Assessment By JACK BROWN Varsity Caack The !M0 Madison baseball season began as the Patriots visited Owen. Jack Brown and Larry West are the coaches The team is led by five seniors, Tim Wilds, Andrew Anderson, David Massey, Bob Frisby and Roger Tweed These are the beat group of boys we've had since 1(76. Their attitude is -the biggest phis. They will play together as a team. Pitching is a necessary part of any team, probably M per cent of the game. Our team's pitching looks good on paper. Tim Wilde is the mainstay of the staff. Tim has worked on his control and we look for him to have an outstanding year. Tim Clark will be our other starter. If he can adjust quick ly to varsity ball he'll be a definite plus. Tim Merrill and Jeff Baldwin are our remain ing pitchers. They have both looked good lately. Each will be a spot starter and relief pit cher. Jeff has a strong arm and is the team's second cat cher in addition to pitching , Tin plays right field and first The hitting alao looks good Position by position the team looks tMs way: Steve Fish is the starting catcher. He's smart and has a quick release on his throws. Fish is also counted on to hit well this season. Baldwin will also see time at catcher. Jeff is good with a glove and is working on his quickness. At first base Andrew Andenon will start. Andrew is big and strong and hits with a lot of power. Tim Merrill will also see time at first. He's quick and very good with his glove. We need An drews bat to help carry the team plus a lot of leadership. David Masey is the starter at second base. David is the most consistent hitter on the team. He always makes con tact. Davis is also good with his glove and has a strong arm. Kevin Johnson will also play at second. Kevin is a con tact hitter and will push to start. The shortstop position isn't settled yet. Lonnie Kent and Use Of Family Car Is Changing Rapidly The all-purpose family car has been a central part of the American lifestyle. And lifestyles are changing. Until catalytic converters were mandated in the 1970's car exhaust was a chief cause of air pollution, according to the American Lung Associa tion. Now skyrocketing prices and fuel scarcity are altering the way we live and what we drive. Gasoline production will reach a peak in 1982, predicts the Stanford Research In stitute in California, then decline throughout the rest of the decade. The importance of the family car, they say, will travel the same downhill course. In the 1960's, the Institute predicts, a wider variety of vehicles ? including motor bikes and electric cars ? will be used for short distances. Larger vehicles would be for longer trips. But many will be leased rather than owned. The car of the 1900's says the Institute, will be made of heavy-duty plastic. Because it is lighter than today's metal cars, it will use less gas. Lighter cars are also more adaptable to battery power. One major manufacturer is already testing a hybrid vehi cle that runs on battery power at speeds up to 20 miles per hour then switches over to gas at higher speeds. The com pany is also working on a four cylinder vehicle that can be "turbocharged" to produce the same power as an eight cylinder car. Women's Softball Tournament There will be a double elimination softball tourna ment for women at Laurel School April 18-20. The entry fee is $40, and teams are to supply their own balls. Deadline for entry is April 13. For more information call Quentin Rmsey at 649-2711 or Jerry Gunter at 656-2592. ^ Randall I Assigned In Germany dall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam ( Randall, Route 1, Marshall, ( recently was assigned as first j sergeant of Company A, tod , Battalion, 37th Armor in Erlangen, Germany. Randall's wife, Mary, is with him In Germany. WINDMILL DALLAS (AP) - A lJMoot. tall wtedmUl has been topoed , STlr ' directions, ik jLAi ls* ? mm: A Swedish car manufac turer is developing an engine that would use turpentine as fuel. By 1961 in Brazil, one sixth of the country's cars will be running on pure alcohol, say the experts. Whatever new fuels and car designs are used, a vital con sideration is curbing the amount of pollution they create, says the lung associa tion. New lifestyles ? and car engines ? should help protect healthy lungs. To find out more about curb ing pollution in your communi ty, contact your local American Lung Association ? the Christmas Seal people. It's a matter of life and breath. tt the Job a strong arm and he bata. They both will probably start Tony Mitchell will teem with Tim Wilde at third. Tony is quick and is a competitor. His throws to first are hard and accurate. Tim is one of our leaders. He talks it up and takes the leadership upon himself. He has the arm need ed at third. Bobby Frisby will start in left field. Pete (Bobby) has started for three years. He is probably the best all around player on the team. He's very coachable and he leads by ex ample. Ronnie Kent will play in center and right field. He has a strong and accurate arm and is quick. Roger Tweed will be in center field and D.H. Roger is a streak hitter. When he's hot he hits everyting in sight and with authority. We need a big year from Roger. Tim Merrill and Tim Clark will share duties in right field. Merrill is expected to have a big year. Tim is fast, strong and has to carry part of the load. He wouldn't have it any other way. Clark hits well in addition to his pitching. It will be hard to keep him out of the lineup even when he isn't pit ching. As I said, on paper the team looks very good. But we have no field of our own to practice on. We are using the town of Mars Hills field. The infield is in no condition to practice on at this time and we've only been on the outfield grass. Four games have been cancelled due to weather con ditions. We need to play now, but may have to wait until our first conference game to start. I do feel the county will be well represented by our team and we will play an exciting brand of ball. Our seniors are the key. They have to lead the team with their attitude and play for us to win.

The college charter stipulates that there shall be no "tippling house" within four miles of the campus; when the charter was revised in 1962 this clause remained intact. Bill Powell, the mayor of Mars Hill, was given a Local Government Opinion Form by Stewart Cook, asking the Town to approve or disap prove the brown-bag applica tions. The mayor and aldermen drew up a resolution of disapproval that lists the following points: *The location of Yogi's is in the heart of town and MADISON HIGH SCHOOL'S theater group, shown rehearsing Bret Harte's "The Outlaw of Poker Flats," includes, front left to right: Lee Hoffman as John Oakhurst, Brian Dodge as Tom Simpson, Vanessa Fisher as Piney Woods, Gena Worley as the Duchess and Gwen Stanton as Mother Shipton; at rear is Stuart Jolley as Uncle Billy. To left rear are the three directors: Tammy Breedlove, Mrs. Jo Ann Johnson and Donna Boss. The cast per formed at the N.C. High School Drama Association festival at Warren Wilson College on March 18 and were one of five groups selected to go on to the state festival in Raleigh, where they will perform March 28. Brian Dodge was named the festival's best actor at Warren Wilson. In the scene above Brian/Tom is tell ing a story about Achilles, whom he calls "Ash Hills."

"Lack of proper ac cess to the basement area may present a fire hazard,'' according to the resolution. *The applicants have recently had trouble comply ing with county health stan dards due to a sewage run-off problem. * Applicants have repeatedly refused to cooperate with the Town of Mars Hill in restoring the alley way altered by them and have failed and refused to pay for damages caused by them after repeated demands for payment." # ?Sofield and Kirkpa trick are presently in violation of the zoning ordinance of Mars Hill in another site where they own a trailed. Madison County District Court has issued orders of arrest for failure to appear and warrants for both men. 'Applicants have consistent ly been uncooperative with the Town of Mars Hill, refusing to comply with promises previously made by them and refusing to meet many of the requests made of them, such as: garbage disposal and other sanitary and health measures " ?The town has already withdrawn a license for the two men to operate an amuse ment store called Barnstorm, which drew complaints from local businessmen and residents while it was in operation. Socield pointed out that Barnstorm was not operated by him, but was leas ed to a third party. Correction In last week's edition of The News-Record it was mention ed that a false alarm had been phoned in from Walnut Creek by a "sick'' or "mean" per son. In fact, this phone call was made with every good in tention by a person who honestly though he saw a fire. The fire, although bright and flaming, turned out to be con fined to a fireplace. John Wise of Pennsylvania, an early balloonist, recognized the existence of the jet stream as early as 1842. He told Con gress in 1843 that "there exists in the atmosphere a constant current of wind, moving from west to east."
