City. Our committee met
every two weeks or so for
over a year to take this
demanding schedule to
task; we did a super job!
The only way this could be
done is with the superb
volunteer spirit that the
people and local businesses
have in our town.
I am very pleased to
announce that the pavilion
that we worked for is here
on the ground at Stewarts
Creek Park. In the next few
weeks we will be errecting
it with the expert help of
our Pulbic Works volun-
teers and more volunteer
labor. I would like to thank
everyone for their support
and dedication to this very
long and drawn out under-
taking.
Some of the businesses
that made a very important
contribution to our effort

Dear Sir:
In response to the editor-
ial on June 24 we would like
an opportunity to address
the subject of finances for
the Colony Youth Soccer
Association.
Registration is $18 per
player with family dis-
counts of $45 for three or
more. We would like to
state that the city does not
provide equipment for the
fields, this is done at CYSA
expense. Some of these
expenses include $12,000
worth of equipment main-
tained and or replaced an-
nually, not to mention the
donation to the city of the
sprinkler system at the
Turner fields.
There is often less
danger in the things we
fear than in the things we
desire.

Whoever wrote the article
needs to know the differ-
ence between a proposal
and a suggestion, which is
exactly what these were,
just suggestions. Proposals
must be put before the
membership for a vote.
Suggestions are merely in
the discussion stage.

Chairman
“We overbuilt in the
commercial real estate
market and now have a
problem absorbing what’s
already built, even though,
we’re absorbing faster than
any market in the United
States,” says Paul Geisei,
professor of urban studies
at UT-Arlington.
“We’re absorbing at a
net rate of 2.7 per cent of
commercial property in ur-
ban centers per year; that’s
27-30 per cent a decade.
But in five years we built 50
per cent. If we don’t start
building now in a better
way, by 1995 we’ll be short
of property. We must re-
think what we’re build-
ing,” Geisei said.
Geisei’s comments were
made during the annual
convention of the Texas
Association of Realtors in
Arlington. Geisei spoke
June 18, on commercial
real estate trends in Texas
to a group of commercial
real estate brokers at the
convention.
“In order to improve our
commercial market, we’re
going to have to do things

Real Estate Principles
will be taught as a weekend
class at Collin County
Community College on
three consecutive week-
ends, July 11-12, 18-19,
and 25-26, on Saturdays
and Sundays from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m.
This fast-track class is
part of a real estate
program designed to assist
students who need to ac-
cumulate real estate hours
in an accelerated form.
Three credit hours will be
given for each course
successfully completed.
Registration for the class
will continue through noon
July 10. Students may sign
up in the Life Planning
Center on the college’s
Central Campus, 2200
West University, in Mc-
Kinney. The cost is $30 per
course.
For information about
weekend courses, phone

differently. There are some
myths we will have to get
rid of. We need to do more
research. We need to get
away from the mentality
that says traffic flow equals
potential,” said Geisei.
When many people drive
past a location daily, there
is no guarantee they will
also stop and shop at a
retail center built there.
Geisei believes the
market in Texas can im-
prove. “We need to take a
lesson from properties that
continue to prosper in spite
of the flat market. We need
to study these areas and
find out what they’re doing
right, then do it,” he said.
One of the problems with
our commercial real estate
market is that we don’t do
enough research before we
start a project, Geisei said.
We are building properties
in the wrong places with
the wrong businesses in
them. Instead of filling our
retail strip centers with
locally-based, home-grown
entrepreneurial business-
es, we have franchise

Dear Sir:
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank some
people and give a final
report on the Sesquicen-
tennial Committee project.
We started working back
in December 1985 making
plans to raise enough
money to put a pavilion at
Stewarts Creek Park. We
designed our own logo and
used it on hats, pins, and
sold all sorts of Sesquicen-
tennial commemorative
products. We also sold
bricks with individual’s
name on them to be put in
the pavilion. We had our
booths set up at Chili
Cookoff’s, Fishoff’s, arts
and crafts events and
whereever we could. We
had a local contest to design
and make the official flag of
our City. We were sanct-
ioned by the State as an
official Sesquicentennial
