Subject: The Frame Dames Shed Light on Local Artists
Feature News Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Windows Shed Light Onto Local Artists
“I hope this new space will have a positive impact on the art community,” says Ford. Ann hare and Sarah Ford owners of The Frame Dames in St. Johnsbury are showcasing local artisians work from the surrounding community in their new remodeled space on Railroad Street.
The new location has given the owners the space they need to showcase products and local art in their large storefront windows. Hare and Ford spend a lot of time on their display windows, and feature many Northeast Kingdom artists, such as Matthew Payeur, Kelly Mawson, Phyllis M. Gable, Danelle Noyes, Crystal Lynn and even owner Sarah Ford displays her handcrafted jewelry.
The larger space and more ideal location has allowed Hare and Ford to expand their product base to offer art supplies and has provided a space for local artists to showcase their work. The Frame Dames store has showcased a variety of art disciplines, from pottery to hand braided rugs and from photography to glassware.
Hare and Ford, previous Uniquity employees, decided to open a business of their own. They spruced up a vacant building in St. Johnsbury, turning their business dreams into a reality. The building was once home to Aqua Realm and before Ann and Sarah moved into the space it sat vacant for one year. “ We opened on June 18th. It took us one week to move in, remodel and open,” says Ford. “We moved around walls, remodeled the bathroom, refinished every surface except the ceiling and installed new lights.”
Hare and Ford previously worked in the frame shop in the back of Uniquity on Railroad Street in St. Johnsbury. “Being in the back of Uniquity made it difficult for window advertising, if you didn’t know we were there you never would,” says Ford. They haven’t moved far, just a few stores down, and have witnessed a great difference the new location has had for business. "Business has just about doubled since we moved, we attribute that to our display windows right on the street," says Hare.
The Frame Dames new location is at 418 Railroad Street in downtown St. Johnsbury. You can visit their remodeled store, Monday-Friday from 9:30-5:30 and Saturday from 9:30-1:30.

Speech
Why colleges should keep more consistant schedules.
Purpose: Why we shouldnt have three hour long classes.
Audience: People sitting in a three hour long class at this very moment.
Speaker: A classmate, may not agree but probably wont strongtly oppose.
Time Frame: During a three hour class, have to keep it engaging and simple.
Setting: Poorly lit classroom with floppy projection screen and bad audio.
College is a place of education and a place where you are paying to be taught. Much like a business, a college should cater to its students. I feel that this is a greatly overlooked aspect of the student, institution relation.
Many things about college life are unavoidable true, akward room mates, food that you wouldn’t write home about and class times and schedules that make you want to pull your hair out. But why are we forced to keep such unconventional schedules?
I think that theres is far to little attention paid to the duration and times of classes in college. Your whole life up until college, school has a very concrete timeline. Around 8 A.M. you start school and around 3 P.M. you get out. because of this you never spend more than an hour or so in one class, you stay focused and little time during your day is wasted.
So how come there’s such a big change in college? Why are we sitting here at (*Insert Current Time*) when we should be eating dinner, which is one of many things we would all rather be doing right now? Why was I at class at 8 this morning and then from 9:30 until now I had no class, and why is it different tomorrow? Why are we paying for such inconvenience?
Not only does this make it hard to have a part or full time job because your schedule is so irradic, further draining your bank account. It also causes us to sit in class for three hours once a week, I find this appauling. Three hours is far to long to keep keep a constructive connection open between students and their proffesors. Meeting once a week is also a very long time, a period so great that information given in one class may be forgotten by the next.
Our college needs to recognize our importance to it and the importance of the quality of the education were recieving. If we are to get the most out of the large investment we are taking at such a economically unstable time we need to demand the control we deserve and be given the right to consolidate our schedules.

Feature News Release
New Business Owners Frame Smiles “I remember seeing an older
Woman doubled over in her car laughing at us.” -Ann Hare
Local business women Ann Hare and Sarah Ford aren’t new to their field, but recently they moved into their very own retail space. The two previously worked at Uniquity in Saint Johnsbury running the framing section in the back of the store.
In April 2011 Uniquity was sold, and Ann and Sarah split ways with the owner to pursue their small own business dreams. Since the move though small business doesn’t seem like the right category as their new location has brought them record sales.
“Business has just about doubled since Uniquity.” said owner Ann Hare, attributing the growth to the large display windows right on Railroad Street in down town. They’re so busy in fact the orders are taken up to a month before they are completed due to the massive backlog of work requested.
“As we came around the corner the whole thing tipped over and spilled all the matt board on and in the street. I remember seeing an older woman doubled over in her car laughing at us.” Ann Hare said recounting one of the more comedic stories about their move to a new location.
“It was about a thousand dollars’ worth of velvet and silk wrapped matt board.” stacked on a display rack attached to a dolly. The fact that this was funny to them is a testament to their character and the long hours they had put into the remodeling process.
The space was previously Aqua Realm, a pet store that closed and been left unattended about a year prior. The store was totally rebuilt, re-finishing every surface but the ceiling. New facilities, storage and dividing walls were erected in the back of the store and new lighting adorns the front.
There is now a large counter for customers to discuss what framing details they desire. Displays of guest art featuring the likes of Matthew Payeur an award winning photographer, Vermont made pottery, hand braided rugs and jewelry line the walls. One of the things new to the store that the owners are most proud of is a wide selection of art supplies. This makes The Frame Dames one of the only local businesses to carry what artists need and create.
The Frame Dames are always happy to help with your art supply needs, especially with passersby in need of a laugh.

Weiner Woes
Anthony Weiner, the wiener of all PR losers, how can we possibly further this man’s humility? Well How about this ad from Spirit Airlines, offering a “$9 Weiner Sale”.
http://gothamist.com/2011/06/07/come_fly_with_spirit_airlines_too_h.php
The promotion is very limited in its availability because you had to book flight within 24 hours of the promotions start and be a Spirit Airline club member. This seems to be almost entirely for shock value as the business generated can’t be netting them much if any money.
Poking fun of Rep. Anthony Weiners tweeted photo of a man’s “bulge” to a woman in Seattle. Weiner is 46, has spent thirteen years in congress and six years on the New York City Council. He is/was also viewed as a leading candidate for New York’s mayor in 2013.
His counter-claim was that someone hacked his account and sent it as a political coup against him. I’d reckon that’s a load of crap because oddly enough the rest of the photos on his account were deleted shortly after.
Weiner’s PR firm, which is apparently pretty open most of the time didn’t even respond to questions about federal involvement in a cyber-attack investigation. This makes that story even less credible as you would expect them to start the witch hunt immediately to put the blame on someone else.
Whether this is in response to an attack or stupidity I’m not entirely sure, but either way its bad if it was cyber terrorism they should have started looking for who it was right off to avert blame. If it was him, well he’s a fool, it’s his own fault and the firm actually spun it kind of well but they needed to keep the clearing statements coming and not stonewall after questions of real investigative involvement.
