COUNCIL RACE GETS 2 MORE DEMOCRATS

Two more Democrats entered the race for Roanoke City Council on Friday, and another Republican said it's likely he will run, too.

The Rev. J. Eugene Young and Steven Goodwin, a past president of the Roanoke Valley Veterans Council, filed their candidacy papers to seek the Democratic party nomination for the three council seats open in the May 5 election.

Young is pastor of Jerusalem Baptist Church on Norfolk Avenue Southwest. Goodwin is a district supervisor for the state Department of Motor Vehicles' Transportation and Safety Division.

Delvis "Mac" McCadden, a district sales manager for USAir and a former schoolteacher, said he plans to seek the GOP nomination.

McCadden, who also is a former baseball player and umpire, is planning a news conference next week to announce his decision.

The Democrats now have six candidates for the party's nomination for the three posts. The others are Renee Anderson, Councilman Beverly Fitzpatrick Jr., Ted Key and James Trout.

The Democrats will choose their nominees Feb. 22.

If McCadden gets into the race as expected, the GOP will have three candidates for the three seats.

Incumbent Councilwoman Elizabeth Bowles, a Republican, is seeking a new term. Beverly Lambert, a legislative aide to state Del. Steve Agee, R-Salem, will seek a GOP nomination.

The Republicans will choose their nominees Feb. 25.

Goodwin had said this week that he might not run, but he filed legal papers to become a candidate.

The council posts are held by Bowles, Fitzpatrick and Councilman David Bowers. Bowers is giving up his council seat to run for mayor.
