Hayes Bolton .Under pressure John Barnet .Taket time Gloria Lm .Rook Hill l*irlwr Opinions In Southpark Matt How Do You Rale Ga t’s Performance? One item that’s been in the news a let lately is the need for road im provement and construction, par ticularly on the southeast side of town. Various ways of paying for this have been discussed, including, most recently, a payroll tax. Will a tax increase or an addi tional tax hurt in an election year? More broadly, how do Cbarlotteans think their mayor is doing? What sort of Job is he doing? Are local citizens pleased or disappointed in Mayor Harvey Gantt’s perfor mance? On a recent sunshiny day, pe destrians at SouthPark Mall were asked their opinions about the mayor’s performance. While cer tainly not a scientific nor repre sentative poll, the opinions ren dered may reflect those of other Cbarlotteans. •HAYES BOLTON, who lives in the Pineville area within the Charlotte city limits, works at Sears and is a student at UNCC. He seemed to think highly of the mayor’s per formance. “I think he’s doing a pretty good Job,’’ Bolton began. “A. lot of things have come up in his term, such as the Coliseum and the Uptown Mall. He’s been under a lot of pressure. All things considered, I think he’s done a good Job.” While noting that he would want to know who was opposing Gantt before deciding for whom he would vote, Bolton added, “I don’t really know j who could run against him and win.” '•JOHN BARNES, of Twinfield Henry Kirkpatrick .Good Job Drive, is a salesman and a busi nessman. Barnes agreed with Bol ton’s assessment of Gantt’s per formance. “I think he’s doing a good job, a very good job. It takes time to get things ironed out. There’s no utopian situation in anything. With time, everything will work out.” He added, “I’d consider voting for him, everything being equal.” ' ■ •GLORIA LEE is a teacher who Uvea and works in Rock Hill. Not being a Charlotte resident, she didn’t know much about the mayor’s performance. “I don’t know any thing about Mayor Gantt except what I heard during the campaign, and that was about the positive things he’d done.” Darryl Watson .Pretty fata- Job • HENRY KIRKPATRICK, mail clerk and Tryon Street resident, expressed a positive opinion of how the mayor has done. "I think he’s doing a good job. I don't think the tax issue would hurt him in an elec tion.’’ Would he vote for Gantt? "Oh, yes, I’d consider voting for him.’’ • DARRYL WATSON of N. Pine St. works as a waiter. Watson respond ed, "Well, I think he’s doing a pretty good job, as far as roads and streets are concerned. He’s doing a pretty fair Job, really, at moat everything he’s doing. I think he’s a good enough mayor that people will vote for him again, he wouldn’t be asking for additional taxes if they weren’t needed.” “Seekmg To Save The Family Crusade" Provident Medical Center, Trustee of DuSable Museum of Africa Move ment, and involved in several other community and spiritualty-oriented activities.

Martin has proclaimed April 14-30 as Public Health Week in North sssttawsftss habits combined with a compre hensive public health system are the major defenses that North Caroli-’ nians have against disease, chronic illnesses and their resulting per sonal and financial burdens. State Health Director D. Ronald Levine feels that North Carolina has an excellent public health system that provides care to thousands of children and adults each year. “Even with ail of our advanced technology, the reel key to living happier, healthier lives is still pre vention,” Levine said. “Every year, thousands of people fall victim to heart disease, accidents, environ mental problems, and chronic ill nesses sich as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. Many of these problems could have been prevented or better controlled if the people involved had followed good health practices.” Levine said that a healthy life style includes nutritious food, regu lar exercise and periodic checkups for potential health problems. - . Public Health Week is sponsored annually by the N.C. Division of Health Services, the UNC School of Public Health, the N.C. Public Health Association, the N.C. Citi zens for Public Health, Inc., and the N.C. Association of Local Health Directors. This special week is proclaimed in an effort to explain achievements in public health, to gain citizen’ understanding of the impact public health services have on their lives, and to raise the level of their in volvement in meeting the challeng es of healthy living. Local health departments and other puhKc health agencies in North Carolina have scheduled a variety of activities during the week, such Af., health department tours, exhibits, health fairs, runs, and bike-a-thons. School children across the state in grades E-ll recently took part in public health poster and essay con tests.
