Fishing venture endures for 35 years
Rainbow Ranch appeals to young
and old angling enthusiasts
By Todd This iova
Staff Writer
Summer. It’s the time of year
when children enthusiastically don
their swim wear to splash and play in
the water; a time for those looking to
darken their skin to bask in the
warm, golden rays of the sun; and a
time for breaking out the rod and reel
to hook that big fish which continues
to elude capture.
While nearby Lake Lanier offers
fishermen a convenient resource to
pursue their sport, Robert Hice Jr.’s
Rainbow Ranch Trout business off
Hwy. 20 East also gives those look¬
ing for fresh fish the chance to catch
their dinner.
“We started in 1971 when we first
bought the property,” said Hice.
Almost 35 years ago, he said his
parents — Bob and Ruth — decided
to open the facility after traveling to
smaller such operations in north
Georgia.
Hice said it was a “hit or miss”
venture to find fishing spots during
those trips because sometimes the
facilities would be closed.
a My whole family [enjoyed] fish¬
ing,” he said.
Hice, 53, said his mother ran the
business for 11 years, and that he
took over business operations after
she had a stroke.
“I told her, ‘You’re fired,”’ he
said. “I wound up running it and

literacy lessons through jobs

GAINESVILLE — The perse¬
verance of Nu Bui and No Hoang is
paying off, and among the benefici¬
aries is Northeast Georgia Medical
Center and Health System.
The Vietnamese women, both
hospital employees, are improving
their communication skills through a
workplace English class.
The on-site class is held for hos
pital employees through Lanier
Technical College’s Workplace
Literacy Program, which has been
helping area businesses and employ¬
ees for 16 years.
Bui >s*each and Hoang have been attend
ing clas week for more than
two years. Lanier Tech instructor
Linda Blount has seen much
improvement in her students’ ability
to speak English.
The women work in food servic¬
es at the hospital, with Bui at the
medical center’s main building and
Hoang at New Horizons North, one
the hospital’s long-term care facili
ties.
Mike Kennedy, director of nutri¬
tional services for the medical center,
sdid Bui and Hoang have come a
long way since they started the class.
He said Hoang “has progressed to
working behind the food counter,
waiting on customers in the food
service line. When she started, she
couldn’t speak English and now she

routed through Texas

RICHARDSON, Texas Toni
Portmann runs the best-disguised
major corporation in North Texas.
But even though you’ve probably
never heard of her privately held com¬
pany, there’s a good chance you’ve
gotten help from it.
Portmann is president and chief
executive of Stream, which handles
45 million consumer inquiries a year
about the best-known brands in tech¬
nology. Its 22 service-call centers
around the globe generate $300 mil¬
lion in annual revenue.
She can’t tell you who her clients
are. These Fortune 100 companies
don’t want you to know that when

really enjoyed it. I think we’ve been
instrumental in helping more young
people catch their first fish than any
other spot in the nation.”
In addition to Hice, Jann Mauldin
also helps run the business.
While Rainbow Ranch makes its
trout virtually available year round
by opening on Saturdays and
Sundays from Jan. 15 to March 1 and
in November, Hice said the summer
draws more customers than any other
time.
He said from March to October,
Rainbow Ranch is open six days a
week — closing on Mondays so he
can go fishing himself. They are also
open on Martin Luther King Jr.’s
birthday, Labor Day and Memorial
Day.
Hice said it’s difficult to pinpoint
an exact date when they opened
Rainbow Ranch because neighbors
saw the trucks bringing the fish in
and demanded access to the business.
“We opened on an impromptu
basis,” he said. “It took off like
crazy.
There are five ponds on 15 acres
at Rainbow Ranch — and while each
pond is stocked with trout, Hice said
the size of the fish varies depending
on the pond a customer is fishing.
“We’re currently fishing out of
four [ponds],” said Hice, adding one
contains fish between 1 and 1-1/4

“Both the ladies are very loyal.
The benefit to the hospital is that this
program has allowed them to
progress and we are able to maintain
their employment and that reduces
our turnover.”

plentiful in
Atlanta area
By Crystal Ledford
Staff Writer
Employment opportunities through¬
out the Atlanta area over the next few
months will be plentiful, according to
reports from a recent survey.
According to results of the
Manpower Inc. Employment Outlook
Survey, Atlanta area employers expect
to hire at a solid pace during the third
quarter 2005.
Beth Herman, spokeswoman for
Manpower’s Atlanta branch, said from
July to September, 22 percent of com¬
panies interviewed for the survey plan
to hire more employees. None expect to
reduce their payrolls, 69 percent expect
to maintain their current staff levels and
9 percent reported they were not certain
about their hiring plans.
However, numbers do reflect a
reduction in job possibilities over the
past quarter.
“Employees in the Atlanta area have
less favorable hiring intentions than in
the second quarter when 37 percent of
the companies interviewed intended to
add staff, and 2 percent planned to
reduce headcount,” said Herman.
“Employers are also more cautious
about hiring than they were a year ago
when 40 percent of companies surveyed
thought employment increases were
likely and 2 percent intended to cut
