The Orlando Sentinel from Orlando, Florida (2024)

a a a a a a a Obituaries The Orlando Sentinel, Wednesday, August 26, 1992 SE SEMINOLE Billboard ad: This MBA is available After 200 rejection letters, a Tampa- a resident buys billboard space, and gets interviews lined up. ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA Out of work and out of patience, Louis Rangel has taken the unusual step of having his qualifications plastered on a billboard. "HIRE ME! 10 yrs. International Exp. Bilingual MBA," reads the sign that went up this week along busy Dale Mabry Highway.

Rangel, formerly coordinator of internal auditing at the University of South Florida, learned six months ago that his contract would not be renewed. Since then, he has received more than 200 letters turning him down for jobs. It's not like Rangel is unemployable. A 41-yearold native of Venezuela, he has a master's in business administration from the Florida Institute of Technology and a bachelor's in industrial production and management from Washington University in St. Louis.

He also worked for an oil company in Venezuela. "After you get through sending all these letters," Rangel said, "you say, 'What can I do? How can I get a If you're him, you look for a billboard and plop down $380 for a week of advertising. By Tuesday afternoon, he'd received 25 calls and had five interviews lined up. "Things are looking pretty good right now," Rangel said from his home in Lutz. His effort is certainly getting exposure.

Wayne Mock, vice president and general manager of Patrick Media, which owns the billboard, said 45,000 people could see it daily. But even if it doesn't work, Rangel said he isn't worried. "I might just wait a few weeks and put another billboard up somewhere else." DEMETRIUS CLARENCE LAMAR BARBER, 13, 3613 Woodbury Drive, Columbia, S.C., died Wednesday, Aug. 19.

Woodlawn Memorium Your Hometown MEMORIAL PARK AND FUNERAL HOME "LET OUR FAMILY HELP YOUR FAMILY" more convenient less expensive 293-1361 since 1926 Downtown dream wins seed money By Gary Taylor OF THE SENTINEL STAFF SANFORD Downtown merchants have dreams of a program that could revitalize their area, and the city has agreed to provide $10,000 to help make those dreams come true. A board made of several downtown groups will use the money to study launching a project patterned after successful Mainstreet downtown renovation programs in other cities such as DeLand in Volusia County a and Titusville in Brevard County.

The Sanford Historic Downtown Waterfront Association, which asked for the money, will be joined by others, including the Greater Sanford Chamber of Commerce, the Sanford Historic Trust, the Sanford Committee and the Historic Preservation Board in forming a board to oversee the project. "The program is based on networking of neighborhood associations," said Chris Cranias, president of Sanford Historic Downtown Waterfront Association. "It must be supported by the whole community for this to work." The merchants association plans to match the city's $10,000 by providing office space and paying for some of the expenses. The first step will be to hire someone to begin gathering information to determine the project's scope and filling out forms to obtain grants. "We've been trying for two years to get this program implemented," said Helen Stairs, president of Stairs Property Management and Realty.

"If we can't get some support to get everything we're asking for, we're kind of spinning our wheels." Cranias said he expects the group to come back to the city for more money once the Mainstreet program is ready to hire a program manager. City commissioners voted 3 to 2 Monday night to provide the money. A.A. McClanahan and Whitey Eckstein supported the program but objected to not having more time to study the request. "I really would like to see us give this a chance to succeed," said Mayor Bettye Smith.

"The revitalization of our downtown is of critical importance to this city.

Most of the 2.2 million gallons of treated wastewater Sanlando generates every day goes into the river's tributaries. Environmentalists have frowned on the practice because it adds harmful nutrients that encourage unwanted plants to grow in the river system. If officials with the commission agree to the rate proposal, Sanlando will hold several months of hearings to justify the higher rates.

Mandell estimated the reuse system would cost about $1 million. County Commission candidate Gerald Korman, a chief opponent of the recent attempt to sell Sanlando, said he thinks utility customers would not mind a slight rate increase to help preserve the aquifer and clean up the river. But, he said, the commission should consider having the golf courses pay part of the cost. 0 MILES 50 St. Johns (520) water district land Orange County land 528 Bee Line Expressway MELISSA The FLAG property was listed as the No.

Orange EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT. Orange may have Econ land deal LAND from B-1 such activities as horseback riding and camping. The deal calls for the company to retain ownership of about 10 acres contaminated with arsenic by ranchers who dipped their cattle in chemicals to rid them of ticks. The company would fence the site and pay property taxes until the contamination is cleaned. The county would then buy the land for $4,600 an acre.

In other action Tuesday: apparently avoided an impasse in labor negotiations with firefighters by offering to pay an extra 10 cents an hour to rescue workers who work overnight hours. The county had given some workers a 5 percent raise this year. But commissioners changed the way they award raises and reduced the maximum increase to 4.6 percent. Some workers had already gotten the larger raise this year, and the county wants them to pay the money back. The firefighters union fought the repayment because it would have meant that 180 firefighters and paramedics would have had to refund the county about $150 each.

By offering the higher pay for overnight hours, all firefighters will earn enough to cover that repayment. Union members are expected to approve the offer this week. Blue collar county employees who do not work overnight shifts will still have to repay the difference. Commissioners voted unanimously to hire Bruce McClendon, planning director in Fort Worth, Texas, as the county's new planning department manager. McClendon, a former president of the American Planning Association, will be paid $79,500.

He replaces former planner Ed Williams, who quit this year to become a private consultant. 30pen House a aper Please join us today Wednesday, August 26, 1992 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. to enjoy a "Tour of the Towers" WESTMINSTER TOWERS 70 W.
