Noelle Short '05, an outdoor writer for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise in Saranac Lake, returned to Hamilton to write an article about a forum held as part of the sophomore seminar "Forever Wild: The Cultural Histories of the Adirondack Park" this month. The forum, titled "Development and Preservation in the Adirondacks: The Tupper Lake Debate," discussed the issues surrounding the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort at the former Big Tupper Ski Area. Panelists included Jim Frenette, Sr. of Tupper Lake, who has been the Intercounty Legislative Committee chairman, Adirondack Park Agency chairman and a Franklin County legislator; Jim Ellis of Tupper Lake, a community specialist for the Adirondack North Country Association and a member of the Tupper Lake Planning Board; and Peter Hornbeck, chairman of the Residents Committee for the Protection of the Adirondacks. Sarah Mortati '08 was quoted in the article. "It struck me to see that there are real emotions and real people who this project is going to affect directly," she said.
Short has written about Hamilton several times in the Adirondack paper since her graduation. In August she chronicled the Adirondack Adventure week and in March she quoted Mike Farrell '00, director of the Cornell University Uihlein Sugar Maple Research & Extension Field Station, in an article about maple sugar.![Hamilton College blue wordmark](/images/AdvFooterForWeb-White.png)
