Summer has always been busy, but there was always a sense of respect for the local community. Until this year. I was in Schiavoni’s last week, at the deli counter ordering some cold cuts. As I was waiting, a gentleman, who was very obviously not a local, ordered the same thing I did. I see my turkey being packaged getting ready to be handed to me — but it was not handed to me.

Mark Schulte’s letter, “Worth the Candle” [July 24], represents exactly the hostile attitude that we pointed out in our letter to the editor in the June 16 edition [“Hostile Attitudes”].
