To the editor:

I must respond to Anthony Catania’s letter in the March 7 newspaper.

I don’t believe Mr. Catania shared enough facts to fully understand his issues; however, comments such as these are potentially damaging to our city’s and county’s reputation. Apparently some things happened with a commercial property he owns here, and he was not satisfied with getting the help he felt he needed.

I also own commercial property in Greenville, and I have leases in place that protect both me and my tenants. If one of my tenants should damage one of the properties, then it would be deducted from their deposit. I also have a local property manager who ensures my tenants are taken care of and also make sure my property is being maintained.

I don’t know what happened to Mr. Catania’s property, but if anyone did something criminal against me, then I would press charges against them through the police department or file a civil law suit against them. These are rights we all have.

As far as the comment that there is a “buddy system” at work here, I am not from the state of Texas, I do live in Hunt County now and I have made the choice to get involved in this city in which I conduct business. Being involved in the community is not a “buddy system,” but a requirement of good citizenship. I am a member of the local Chamber of Commerce and have joined several organizations including the local Rotary to give back to the community from which I hope to profit.

Many aspects of Greenville and Hunt County contribute to it being a wonderful place to live and work. Of course, we can and should always seek improvements.

Mr. Catania, have you considered getting involved and becoming part of the solution?

Vote for new Y
I write to support the YMCA bond election from a perspective of the role they provide in the health of our community. As a health care professional, I have long understood and supported the need and development of a comprehensive Health and Wellness Center which could serve not only as a fitness center and playground, but as a cornerstone for building and maintaining healthy bodies and lifestyles.

In support of new Y
A number of Greenville citizens have asked if we can afford a new YMCA. After many years of being a part of the Y, I think the question is, can we afford not to build a new YMCA?

Examine the facts
In response to the editorial published by the Herald-Banner on April 28 stating that the staff believes more time is required before an informed decision can be made on the issuance of public bonds for a new YMCA and Event Center…

Proven for the job
It has come to my attention that Tyson Cox has declined a candidate’s forum with Dan Perkins sponsored by GEUS. The forum was to be broadcast on their network.

Take a step back and imagine what a “better Greenville” looks like to you.

My wife, Marilyn, and I want to encourage the citizens of Greenville to vote in support of the YMCA project.

Cox good choice
I was born and raised in Greenville and have lived here most of my life, except for the two years my husband, Perry M. Smith, was in dental school and the two years he practiced dentistry in West Texas.

Endorsing Cox
We don’t often write letters to the editor and even more rarely endorse political candidates. But we could not pass up the opportunity to offer our wholehearted endorsement for Tyson Cox.

The last Triple Crown Winner in thoroughbred horse racing in the U.S. was Affirmed in 1978. With Orb's loss in the Preakness there won't be a Triple Crown winner again this year. Will there ever be another Triple Crown winner?
