The Orlando Sentinel, Thursday, February 8, 1990 B-5 II t- i CRUISE WCPX-TV 6 AND DON PALLADENO ENTERPRISES PRESENT From B-1 Rogers said. The establishment of a rail link also would help the company get financing for the giant ship from skeptical investors, who have yet to offer their backing, he said. While the corridor would offer air travelers quick access to the coast, it also would provide the airport with another source of jet fuel, which currently is either trucked in or pumped east through aging fuel lines from Tampa's port, Wyckoff said. The corridor also could be used to transport coal to the Curtis Stanton Energy Center, owned by Orlando Utilities Commission, while other lines could serve development near the Bee Line between Brevard and Orange counties. But the prospect of a new transportation and utility corridor opening new areas to development could become a another cause for environmentalists, said Charles Lee, senior vice president of the Florida Audubon Society.

Lee said more development would threaten the St. Johns River and Econlockhatchee rivers. Instead of a new corridor, officials should be examining ways to route a rail and utility system along the existing Bee Line right of way, Lee said.

But some of those property owners have said they were told outright that their land is in the path and may be condemned if they refuse to sell.

"The reason we're really upset is they real estate agents are telling people it's possible this is the area that will be selected for the corridor and if they don't sell, they'll be condemned," said Sarah Hodge, whose parents own property on Merritt Island north of the barge canal. Homeowners say Nelson is offering $100 for an option to buy their property through March 30, with a provision to extend the option for another six months. Hodge and other homeowners have taken their complaints to the Canaveral Port Authority. Port and airport officials disavow any connection with Nelson and insist the selection of a route is a long way off. Nelson refused to comment on the homeowners' complaints or his or World City's plans, except to say: "It's a private venture.

It has no business being bandied about in the press." Rogers said the property owners' complaints were the result of a misunderstanding, and said Hodge and other homeowners who do not want to sell will not be approached again. World City wants to build a $1.5 billion, cruise ship, the Phoenix World City, and plans to berth it at Port Canaveral, Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale or the Port of Miami. The company is expected to announce its decision on March 21. The company does not plan to locate at Port Canaveral unless a rail link is established to ensure a steady flow of cruise passengers, New York offices. Port and airport officials agree that if World City Corp.

can secure portions of the route and avoid the often expensive and lengthy condemnation process, the construction of a transportation and utilities corridor would be much easier. "What would we think about a guy who came in here with a whole route? We would feel pretty good about it," said Mac McLouth, a Canaveral port commissioner. The land World City Corp. and Nelson are interested in runs through Canaveral Groves, which is a rural subdivision north of the Bee Line Expressway, land just north of Cocoa and along the barge canal, according to property owners. In Orange County, a large segment of the corridor would probably run through the Mormon Church's extensive Deseret Ranch holdings south of the Bee Line.

John Wyckoff, executive director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, said Deseret officials have been contacted but no negotiations have taken place. World City appears to have chosen a logical route for the Brevard portion, said Malcolm Kirschen-baum, a Cocoa attorney and chairman of the state High Speed Rail Commission. "There are only so many ways to get from point A to point said Kirschenbaum, who, as vice president of EKS a Cocoa development company, has close business ties to Nelson. "I would just assume they World City Corp. have picked one route that would work for them.

They told him the same thing: Debbie wouldn't simply leave.

Poe had only the clothes she was wearing when she apparently left in a car. That is one of the few clues detectives have. She left behind her own car and her purse, which contained a paycheck. Gay has questioned more than 50 people since Poe's disappearance on Sunday. At 4 a.m.

Wednesday, he was talking to regular customers at the Circle at Hall Road and Aloma Avenue and stopping people driving through The Shoals Apartments just behind the store. Poe may have walked through a wood slat fence to a car waiting in a parking lot at the Shoals. Poe, who worked at The Orlando Sentinel during the day and the convenience store at night, had too many ambitions to simply drop of out sight, her father said. "She wanted too much for a young person," Alvin Poe said. "Her mother and I had cautioned her against that." One of the things Poe wanted was a house.

She had been shopping for one in Volusia County the weekend she vanished. Saving for a house was the reason she held two jobs. "Her mother tried to discourage her from taking the job at the convenience store," her father said. "But she said, 'Mom, there's lots of traffic and lots of people, and I know them. They're real nice.

It will be OK' "Obviously, it wasn't OK" While the Poes hold out hope that their daughter will be found unharmed, they know that the chances grow slimmer with the passing of time. Not so with the chances of solving the case, Gay said. Usually, deputies know what happened. The hard part is figuring out who did it. In this case, Gay said everyone has been so cooperative that within hours, he knew all of Poe's family and friends.

"When we find out how she was taken and why, with my experience, I can pretty much point to the person that did it and say, "That's Gay said.
