On the day Jim Bakker was sent to prison, his clothing symbolized just how far the disgraced PTL leader had fallen in less than three years. When Bakker entered the federal courthouse last Tuesday, he was wearing a $1,000 gray glen plaid suit.

By that evening, he was dressed in an orange jumpsuit like the rest of the inmates at a medium-security prison in Alabama. Bakker, the charismatic preacher whose PTL televangelism empire brought in $129 million in revenues and employed about 2,000 people in 1986, enjoyed the life of a Hollywood jet setter along with his wife, Tammy Faye. The Bakkers owned several lavish homes in North Carolina, California and They drove Rolls-Royce and Mercedes Benz automobiles, bought expensive clothes and jewelry and dined in five-star restaurants. "The Lord has us on a rollercoaster ride and we're holding on for dear life," Bakker once said. The low point in that ride came this past week when U.S.

District Judge ordered Bakker to begin serving his 45-year prison sen- for seven years worked there over the last seven years." Munson agreed. "I like it," she said. "We can talk a lot. We can listen to whatever kind of music we want. If you need time off, you can get it." "It's a nice place to work," Kirkpatrick said.

"Cynthia is a really wonderful person, and she has a real good business sense." But, lest potential employees start. lining up outside the door, Kirkpatrick said Wildwood employs only about five or six people at its summer peak and only two at season's end. Dunn, of course, likes the work, too. "I really enjoy it. It gives me a lot of freedom," she said.

She gets satisfaction from inspecting every pound of spice before it goes out even if the bales and boxes of spices get heavy at times. "It's kind of a physical job as well as a mental she said. When she started, she had a farmhouse and two young children, David and James Nuelle. "I thought if I started my own business I would be able to raise children and earn money," she said. The children are older now David is 14 and James is 16.

and business is good. "It's been a pretty successful venture, and I still can be around in the summer for my kids," she said. good job," she said. "I can't even tell you how many women have tence immediately. "Those of us with a religion are sick of being saps for moneygrubbing preachers," a stern Potter said before imposing the sentence.

Bakker could have. been sentenced to 120 years. He also was fined $500,000 after being convicted Oct. 5 of 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy for overselling lodging guarantees, called "lifetime 'at his religious retreat in nearby Fort Mill, S.C. Bakker is to.

be transferred soon to the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, to serve his sentence. Prosecutors Jerry Miller. and Deborah Smith convinced Potter to put Bakker behind bars right away to stop him from soliciting any more money on his new television ministry, which is based in Orlando, Fla. "He was the mover and shaker, the mastermind of fraud," Miller said. "'He was the head of this criminal enterprise taking place out there at PTL." Miller said Bakker was capable of resurrecting his scheme.

"This man was corrupted by power and money," he said. "He was the man who would be God at PTL." While Bakker's tumble was fast and hard, his upward path took much longer. From humble beginnings, Midwestern sweethearts Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker built PTL into' one of America's most successful television ministries. In 1986, Bakker's last full year at PTL, the ministry boasted annual revenues of $129 million. About 6 million visitors toured Heritage USA that year ranking it up there with Disneyland and Disney World.

All the while, Bakker and his former top deputy, Richard Dortch, were soliciting millions of dollars from viewers who participated in PTL's 11 partnership programs. In the programs, contributors sent in money typically $1,000 in exchange for free lodging at PTL's hotels and other facilities. The spices come from importers on both coasts, who bring them from all over the world: allspice from Honduras and Jamaica, cinnamon sticks from Indonesia, star anise from China, rose petals from Morocco, pinguica leaves from Mexico, and more. Dunn concocts the formulas for each of the many products. She selects the ingredients of the potpourris based mostly on visual appeal, because the vast majority of the scent in them comes from fragrance oils which are added later.

The ingredients also serve as the carrier for the scent, she said. Rows of sample fragrance oil bottles in Dunn's upstairs office attest to the hard work she and her workers do in the wintertime to come up with new scents. The various barks, leaves, berries and dried peels are then blended in a machine that looks and works much like a cementmixer. In true small-business style, Dunn commissioned a Blair, man to build it, saving herself "a From there, the mixes are stored in barrels until they're ready to be packaged in a machine that measures out portions at selected time intervals. Sharyn Kirkpatrick, the company's production manager and bookkeeper, and Tracy Munson of Galesville, showed how the machine is calibrated.

They poured spice mixtures into the bin and turned the machine on, occasionally weighing how much was parceled out, as Kirkpatrick twisted the dials. "It could almost go a little faster. I'm hardly missing a Munson said a few minutes later, as she caught the two-ounce avalanches of spices in plastic bags and lined them up on trays. The firm is small, which Dunn thinks helps keep employees loyal. "They really like the idea of a small business, and they're.

During the trial, prosecutors showed that Bakker spent only a small fraction of the money on the building program, making it impossible for the partners to use their benefits. Bakker spent more than $3.7 million of the money on himself to support his lavish lifestyle, testimony showed. "There were a lot of people who gave their heart and soul to make PTL work.

Jim Bakker was not one of them," Miller told Potter before sentencing. Mary Hendrickson, Rt. 1, St. Charles, reported at 6:46 p.m. that her purse containing $15 was either lost or stolen at her residence.
