Regarding the June 27 story, "Community farmers market takes root in Margate":

Once again, you resurrected the misrepresentation of Howard Seiden's role in opposing this development as the owner of Casel's Supermarket in Margate.

One may question Seiden's protest of the logistics involved in the city's approval of the farmers market. That is a matter of opinion, it seems to me. But no one has a right to infer the Seiden is anything but civic-minded, as his track-record clearly reflects.

I can attest to this on a firsthand basis. I'm on the Margate Little League board, and Seiden has never said no to our sponsorship requests. Indeed, he has supported virtually all civic organizations that have solicited his support over the last 20 years. This generosity has never slowed, even as the demographics of our community vastly changed, resulting in our year-round population dwindling and thus fewer year-round shoppers at Casel's. More
