To the editor:

First a big thank-you to Roger Steinbrueck, who donates his time, for his work planting flowers on the triangle island at the NBT Bank corner. The flowers are always very attractive and dress up the entrance to the village.

Second, what needs to be done, however, is mowing the grass on the island. Looking at this island on Friday night, the beautiful flowers were overshadowed by the overgrown condition of the lawn surrounding them. I’m not sure where the responsibility lies — I would guess the village of Saranac Lake — but someone needs to step up and take care of it.
