LAKE PLACID The separation between land conservation work and the arts may seem quite broad. But for Erin Walkow, who left the Adirondack Chapter of The Nature Conservancy for a job at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, the move between sectors was organic. Pennsylvania native Walkow, 43, packed up her world into a new Honda Civic and moved to the Adirondacks 21 years ago. She now lives in Saranac Lake.
To the editor: I have rented space for my boat at the Crescent Bay Marina, aka Duso’s and currently the Saranac Lake Marin,a for over 20 years, and there are any number of people who have been there longer than me. Through seven years of hearings, reviews and lawsuits, the SLM has endeavored to provide the people of Saranac Lake with access to Lower Saranac Lake and 20 miles of waterway. They also provide various rental craft to people who are visiting the area and constitute a sizeable economic boost to the local tourism through their visit to this area as tourists. In my experience with the staff and manager of SLM, they have been courteous and gone out of their way to assist out-of-town customers and local people. I write all this just to build credulity for the value and operation of the marina as a business in good standing, which is committed to the well-being and enjoyment of its customers.
