Protecting the water quality of Lake George has always been an environmental issue… However, it is also an economic issue. Jim Siplon, chief executive of the Warren County Economic Development Corporation, envisions the clear water of Lake George attracting more than tourists – it can attract industry to the area.
Siplon spent 20 years of his career focusing on water as the chief operating officer of Just Water in Glens Falls. With his experience backing his vision, he believes that the Lake George Region can be a center for freshwater research and technology.
The Jefferson Project at Lake George is a collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, IBM research, and the Lake George Association. The goal of the technological study of water is to understand the impact of human activity on fresh water, and how to mitigate those effects.
This project is focused on building a computing platform that captures and analyzes data from a network of sensors, which track water quality and movement. These sensors are used to create data about the lake’s overall water quality and food web… This technology will help to manage and protect Lake George, but also will create a guide for preserving other important lakes.
There are a variety of variables that are measured by the sensors, including weather, water run off, water circulation, and water quality. The incoming data is wirelessly communicated to multiple computers at IBM and Rensselaer to predict weather events, water runoff from surrounding mountains, and road salt that enters the water circulation.
To preserve Lake George, it is important to acknowledge that the lake is changing… There has been an increase in Chloride input, algae has increased, and invasive species have taken hold. By utilizing science and technology, there can be both ecological and economic benefits to Lake George and the Lake George region.

In this episode, our host Michael Nelson interviews Melissa Freebern, owner and operator of Artisan Ink and artist par excellence!

There will be a grand opening for Artisan Ink on Saturday, October 28th, starting with a ribbon-cutting at 10:45 AM. This award-winning Tattoo and Piercing shop, owned and operated by the versatile Melissa Freebern, was recently relocated to 1263 Patterns Mill Road in Fort Ann after over a decade of operation in Queensbury.
The feature event of this grand opening will be a flash tattoo event. There will be a variety of tattoo designs to choose from, available first-come first-serve from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a total of $80. Artisan Ink will also be hosting a costume contest, a 50/50 raffle for charity, and have face painting! Food trucks will be on hand throughout the day, and music by Vinyl Vault will be featured from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
This is a great time to meet the artists of Artisan Ink. The Artisan Crew includes four Tattoo Artists: Melissa Ferbern (owner/operator), Whitney Rehn, Jade Ellen, and Eva Angrisani. It also includes Junior ArtistBenny Brown, Piercer Rylea Healy, and Shop Manager Jennifer Baker.
Melissa grew up in Warrensburg, and went to SUNY Adirondack to earn an associate’s degree in Criminal Justice, followed by earning her bachelor’s degree in psychology from SUNY Plattsburgh… However, she did not follow that path: “I have always been an artist, I have always been that person,” Melissa proudly stated.
Melissa credits her time at college as giving her the confidence to go into a male-dominated field: “Tattooing has evolved… It wasn’t a great industry for women period. Locally, there were no other female-owned tattoo shops. I just do what I want. When people tell me no, I say ‘Hmmm, I’ll just figure that out…’ That’s what college taught me. It taught me how to think for myself and have confidence in my decisions. That’s what led me into more of a business realm,” she said.
Melissa’s hard work and dedication have paid off. To have work done by Melissa you need to be a bit patient as she books out three to four months in advance.
Artisan Ink has come a long way from its original 900-square foot shop in Queensbury! Its new location is on 5 acres in Fort Ann… Melissa appreciates the history of the property. It had previously been a pole barn – a barn built during the Great Depression, when farmers would utilize old utility pole to help reduce construction costs – a square-dancing venue, and a biker bar. “It’s always been a really popular gathering place,” Melissa said.
The 5 acre property features the pole barn, a house, two apartments, and a pavilion with a small bar. Melissa would like to eventually refurbish the pavilion for events, like birthday parties or weddings.
Along with expanding the versatility of the property Melissa would also like to teach art classes. There is an art room where she would like to teach classes in pottery and ceramics.
Melissa is an artist to watch as she expands the offerings of Artisan Ink. Come and enjoy the festive Halloween atmosphere and explore the shop’s new home! You may even go home with some new ink!

On the drizzly Friday afternoon of October 20th at 3:00 PM, the city of Glens Falls held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Glens Falls Event & Market Center on South Street. This $5-million development is the signature project of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), and the groundbreaking was a celebration marking the economic comeback of the city, as well as a recognition of the DRI project’s role in the city’s ongoing growth.
Mayor Collins spoke at the event: “Today, developers, business owners and entrepreneurs are moving into the downtown area, restoring buildings, setting up businesses, directly and indirectly supported by the shot in the arm the DRI has provided,” He said.
The area of South Street where the Event & Market Center will be built has already attracted investment along the corridor – two businesses, the Golden Monkey Lounge and Taco Kings Jalisco, are now open across the street from where the Event & Market Center will be located.
The groundbreaking was attended by State Senator Dan Stec, who remarked: “It’s a lot easier to advocate for a community when a community delivers, and does a great job with previous grants. So, Mayor to you and your team, you make it very easy for us to go to and talk to our former colleague, current Secretary of State, Robert Rodriquez and say ‘Hey, the money and investment that the state makes in Glens Falls is a good risk and great return on investment, and just look at what they have done in the past.’ I’m thrilled that you mentioned all of the work that you have done here.”
Assembly member Carrie Woerner also spoke at the event: “Congratulations Mayor Collins and the City of Glens Falls on this great occasion. I know that you have worked for many years to make this happen ,and it’s great to be here on the cusp of this brand new development,” she said. Assemblywoman Woerner went on to highlight Governor Hochul’s leadership in securing the DRI funds, and Empire State Development for their leadership.
The event space is expected to be the new home of the Glens Falls Farmers Market, and host community events… However, The Glens Falls Farmers Market voiced concerns over the Event & Market Center via a press release the same day as the ground breaking event: “Despite the city portraying the new venue as progress, the Farmers Market board and its members view many aspects of this project as setbacks. The proposed space is notably smaller, reducing the market’s current size and offering little to no room for future growth. Other issues include logistical hurdles with loading and unloading, traffic & parking, (and) absence of heating within the facility while being advertised as year-round,” The Glens Falls Farmers Market press release stated.
The Farmers Market board will be convening a meeting with its members to decide the market’s future, and the possibility of relocating the market to a new venue either in Glens Falls or elsewhere.
