Two

candidates for mayor and three for City Council

Post 1 will go to the voters Tuesday in

Fayetteville's municipal election.

Kenneth

T. Steele, a Delta Air Lines pilot, and Paul C.

Oddo Jr., CPA and restaurant owner, are in a race

for the mayor's chair following the announcement

last month that current Mayor Mike Wheat will not

seek reelection.

Steele

is a member of council, and his announcement that

he would run for mayor left his Post 1 seat

without an incumbent in this year's balloting.

Oddo

has never run for public office.

Seeking

the voters' approval to occupy Steele's seat on

council are Bill Talley, chief financial officer

for a Pine Mountain bank; Clyde Avery, a broker

for office management firm Southeastern

Properties Inc., and Paul Carter, owner of two

Jonesboro restaurants and Fayetteville Family

Billiards.

Post

2 Councilman Glenn Brewer is up for reelection as

well, but he is the only person who has qualified

to run for his seat and, unless there is a

write-in candidate, will be elected by default.

Polls

are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Old Depot on

Stonewall Avenue. For information on the

candidates, see page 4A and 5A.

Candidates

were required to turn in reports of all financial

contributions and campaign expenditures as of

last Friday, and all Fayetteville candidates had

done so except council candidate Paul Carter.

The

remaining candidates' reported funds are listed
