In School Board Race Dr. Harvey Sadoff Has Hack Support By Audrey C. Lodato Post Staff Writer Among the five candidates run ning for one vacancy on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board is Dr. Harvey Sadoff, edu cational director for BSC, a com puter software company. Dr. Sadoff, who ran in last year’s school board race, is a former professor at UNCC. His involvement with the local school system encompasses many roles: as parent* as teacher, and as an educator of teachers. Dr. Sadoff has garnered substan tial support in the black community. The candidate says this support is based on trust and on his advocacy of "black issues” in the past. He adds, "Being Jewish, I can sympa thize with the plight of minorities and their situation.” Senator Mel Watt, one of those backing Dr. Sadoff, calls him “far and away the most attractive of the candidates who are running, in my assessment." Watt adds that Sadoff has demon strated interest in educational Issues end has contributed to the educa tional process. School board member Arthur Griffin also believes Dr. Sadoff 'Would contribute greatly to the ~ board, "I think his dedication to public education is reflected in his interest by putting himselU*jfgre the public in the pasfto-frawiMr~ on the board. He’s not an oppor tunist or a Johnny-come-lately” to the race, Griffin points out. According to Sarah Coleman, who serves with Sadoff on another com mission, “I think he has deep convictions and concern about edu cation for our children.” Dr. Raleigh Bynum, optometrist and former candidate for County Commission, is another Sadoff sup porter. “We’ve been friends since 1980 when we were both running for public office,” recalls Dr. Bynum. “I think without a doubt Harvey is by far the person we need to fill the vacancy. He is level-headed and has the ability to think things through to the end. He’s obviously interested and committed.” Recalling his past unsuccessful bids for election, Dr. Sadoff notes that this time around he has the name recognition that he lacked before. “People are beginning to call me up” rather than the other way around, he says. Sadoff warns that “We need to be aware of extremism" with regard to forces that may attempt to influ ence board policy. His 20-plus years in the field of education are now augmented by business experience which, he says, gives him a well-rounded back ground. As educational director at BSC.

Dr. Schwartz is director of path ology and laboratory medicine at Presbyterian Hospital. Noting the organization’s plan for the upcoming year, Dr. Schwartz said, “Leadership Charlotte will continue to bring to' gether indivi duals interested in learning skills which will help them to become even better community leaders. An on going effort to Improve the pro gram and involve alumni will con tinue.” Leadership Charlotte was chart ered in 1977 to developed informed citizens to assume leadership roles in public and private positions. ft r-S tEe way.. By Joe Black President Franklin D. Roosevelt, In an effort to uplift the morale of America's citizens during World War II, said: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself." But nothing stays the same and today those words have little meaning for many who are approaching the age for retirement. Senior Citizens have many things to fear: Insufficient funds, robbery, loneliness, poor housing, inadequate nutri tion. and plain ol' Indifference from society. But we should not let It be like that In these United States of America, because through tjie years the older citizens have worked hard on many Jobs; weathered the storm of bias and hatred: paid taxes to support this nation: fought in wars to pre serve democracy; and endured the slams of bias as they struggled to open doors so that Blacks comlngbehind them could work at new and better Jobs And yet many of us stand by silently and watch them struggle to live their remaining years with some dignity and pride. We can help by writing our political representatives ' and telling them that the Social Security laws must be amended so as to be relevant to today* economic require ments. We can alert the police about hoodlum elements that steal Social Security checks, snatch their purses, or break into their homes because they are old and defenseless. And we can take the time to extend the hand of friendship and a friendly Viello. or an offer to run an errand. The suggestions are simple, economical, and real, and my friends, don't ever forget that the hands of time con- I* tinue to move, and soon they will be you.
