FLORENCE — The three-month renovation to the Flor-ence Furniture Fairwasn’t justabout cosmetics.

While the fresh paint, newflooring, energy-efficientlighting and new entrywaysmake the two Houston Roadbuildingsmore inviting, it’s thereorganizationof the inventorythat really makes a difference,said store manager Brad Au-berger.

The stock, including prod-ucts such as Daniel’s Amish,AmericanhardwoodCreations,Broyhill and Thomasville, aredivided between the two build-ings. The front building housesupholstery, home entertain-ment and recliners. The backbuilding is home to diningroom, bedroom and home of-fice furnishings.

“Wewanted todo somethingdifferent. It’s nice to have theproduct centralized all in onebuilding so when customerscomein, theydon’thavetotrav-el back and forth to see every-thing for the room they’reshopping for,” said Auberger,whohas spent 21yearswith the

After losing her father,Rob, to suicide in 2008,Sam Potter of Burlington,now14, battled against de-pression and post-trau-matic stress disorder.

More than twoyearsaf-ter his death, Sam herselfthought about suicide andon two different occasionsspent time in CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital Medi-calCenter,hergrandmoth-er Stephanie Potter said.

Potter, of Hebron, is di-rector ofRob’sKids, an or-ganization founded bySam that is, according totheirwebsite, “passionate-ly committed to making adifference in the lives ofchildren who strugglewith depression and post-traumatic stress disor-der.”

According to its web-site, Rob’s Kids providesfunding and sponsorshipto psychiatric profession-als while providing re-sources and education tofamilies.

Although Potter saysSam now leads a “normalteenage life,” Rob’s Kidswas developed “becauseCincinnati Children’s Hos-pital psychiatric unitsavedmygranddaughter’slife.”

Sam went from “want-ing to die in March 2011 towanting to live in Augustof 2011,” Potter said.

At that time, Sam

shared with her therapistthat she wanted to giveback and was told aboutthe Cincinnati Walks forKids annual event.

Potter said Sam decid-ed to form a team becauseat that point, only staffmembers had walked forthe hospital’s psychiatricunit. The first year, Rob’sKids donated more than$4,300 to the unit.

A year ago, Potter saidSam came to her and saidshe wanted to help otherkids. Rob’s Kids was start-edand lastyearSam, “whohas no problems speak-ing” to crowds, did morethan 12 speaking engage-ments.

Rob’s Kids also collect-ed more than $6,500 in

FLORENCE — The Ken-tucky Attorney General’sOffice is reviewing the op-eration of a local advertis-ing firm amid a stack ofcomplaints from clientswho say they paid for ser-vices they never received.

National Business Ad-vertising Inc. sells adver-tising on college athleticschedules and other pro-motional items to custom-ers throughout the coun-

try and promises to dis-tribute them to businessesinthelocalmarket.Aspartof the promotional pack-age, the company also of-fers local or national tele-vision or radio advertisingspots.

Dissatisfiedcustomers,however, say NationalBusiness Advertising tooktheir money and failed tofulfill their contracts. Inthe last three years, 34 ofits customers have filedcomplaintswith theBetterBusiness Bureau and sev-en have contacted theKentucky Attorney Gen-eral’s Office. It also ap-pears the company is nolonger authorized to con-duct business in the state.

When National Busi-ness Advertising Inc. con-tacted Gene Tarney, aMil-waukee insurance sales-man, about putting hiscompany name on Mar-quette University basket-ball schedules, he thoughtit was a great idea. Thecompany sweetened thepot by promising Tarney30 commercial spots onESPN2 throughTimeWar-ner Cable and agreed todistribute the schedules tobusinesses in the Milwau-kee area.

Something inside Tar-ney told him the dealsounded too good to betrue, but the price was soreasonable he thought itwas worth the risk.

“The whole thing wassupposed to cost $380, so Ithought if I just made oneor two sales, I would comeout ahead,” Tarney said.“The schedules were alsosupposed to be distributedto sports bars all overtown, and I was going toget a few to hand out my-self.”

Tarney was sent an e-contract on Sept. 18 andmailed a check to the Flor-ence company. Marquettewas to begin its season attheMauiClassic inHawaiion Nov. 11, so Tarney fig-ured there was plenty oftime to get the schedulesprinted and distributed.

As the start of the bas-ketball season drew nearand Tarney had not re-ceived confirmation fromthe advertising company,he attempted to follow up.

Tarney says he calledthe company severaltimes, and eventually didget a few schedules in themail, but could not get adistribution list for thosethatweretobesentto localbusinesses. He was alsounable to obtain informa-tion aboutwhen the televi-sion spots would air.

“I took the few sched-ules I had to a restaurant Ifrequent across the street,but I couldn’t find one oth-er business that ever gotany,” Tarney said.

Frustrated, Tarneyfiled a complaint with theKentucky Attorney Gen-eral’s Consumer Protec-tion Division and contact-edTheKentuckyEnquirerfor help.

A check of the compa-ny’s history revealed ahost of similar complaintsfrom National BusinessAdvertising customers

throughout the country.AllisonMartin,director

of communications for theAttorneyGeneral’sOffice,said the complaints arefrom customers who havepaid for print or televisionadvertising they have notreceived.

“When consumersasked why the ads havenot aired, they have notgotten a satisfactory re-sponse,”Martin said. “Ouroffice is reviewing the sit-uation, so I really can’tcomment any further.”

Mike Hogan, a spokes-man for Time Warner,says one reason may bethatNationalBusinessAd-vertising is not authorizedby the company to sell ad-vertising on ESPN2 or anyother station in any of itsmarkets.

“Time Warner Cabledoes not have a businessrelationship with NationalBusinessAdvertising Inc.,and it is not authorized touse our company name inany marketing or con-tracts or without our legalconsent,” Hogan said in astatement.

The Enquirer attempt-ed to contact NationalBusiness AdvertisingPresident Al Gripshoverseveral times by phoneand by visiting the compa-ny’s last known address, aself-storage facility on In-dustrialDrive inFlorence,but could not reach him.

Steve Eldridge, aspokesman for NationalBusinessAdvertising,saidit previously operated outof that space but has sincemoved. He would not pro-vide a current address forthe business.

Eldridge said the com-panyhascontactedTarney

and was sending him a re-fund, but he would not ex-plain why the additionalschedules were not deliv-ered or why the televisionspots never aired.

“I don’t have that infor-mation in front of me,” hesaid.

Eldridge refused to an-swer additional questions.

Joshua Wice, economicdevelopment director forthe City of Florence, saidofficials are concernedthat a locally based busi-ness might be taking ad-vantage of consumers.

“We would encourageanyone who believes theywere taken advantage ofto register their concernswith the Attorney Gener-al’s Consumer ProtectionDivision or an appropriatelaw enforcement agency,”Wice said.

“It is always importantfor people to do their re-search about solicitationsif they are not personallyfamiliarwith thebusiness.It is relatively easy to ver-ify with state and localgovernments if a businessis authorized to operate,and the Better BusinessBureau is a reputablesource to examine others’experiences with the busi-ness.”

A check of the Ken-tucky Secretary of State’swebsite, for example, re-vealed that National Busi-ness Advertising, Inc. isapparently no longer li-censed to do business inthe state.

The company did notfile its 2011 annual reportin a timely manner andwas administratively dis-solved by the Secretary ofState’s Office in Septem-ber of that year.

Architects building scholarshipsThe men who’ve designed

the buildings students go intoare now helping students oncethey leave those buildings.

Architecture firm RobertEhmet Hayes & Associatescommitted to giving $10,000 inscholarship money to BooneCounty Schools for at least thenext three years.

The firmhas either designedthe initial construction or therenovation of all of the district’s23 schools.

Currently run by Ehmet andJoe Hayes, the firm was found-edby their fatherRobertEhmetHayes in 1961. Under the elderHayes’ leadership, the firm al-ways worked to design school

buildings that would be the bestlearning environments for stu-dents, said Boone CountySchools Superintendent RandyPoe.

“Bob Hayes was an excep-tional individual who caredabout kids,” Poe said.

Hayes died Feb. 9, 2009, andhis sonswanted todo somethinghewouldappreciate tomark theanniversaryofhisdeath,Ehmetsaid.

“My dad was passionateabout the band and education,”he said.

Havingarchitectswhoaresoinvested in the schools that theywant to help students as they goto college shows what an assetthe district has with Hayeses,Poe said.

The Robert Ehmet Hayes

Scholarship fund will be givento a graduating senior fromeach of the district’s four highschools and administeredthrough the Boone County Edu-cation Foundation.

“I know your dad is lookingdown and honored, and we’rehonor to give an award in hisname,” Poe told Ehmet at theFeb.14boardofeducationmeet-ing.

Ehmet and Joe have commit-ted to giving $10,000 to be splitupamongst thefourwinnersforthree years, but the amountwilllikely go up over the years, Eh-met said.

“It’s something we’ll eventu-ally build on,” he said.

FLORENCE — Cindy Wallacenoticed last school year some ofher students always seemed tobe hungry. She brought incrackers to help them getthrough class, but she knewmore needed to be done.

“I promisedmyself last sum-mer that this year Iwould try tofind a better way to help themrather than just being randomabout it,” she said.

Wallace, a business mathteacher at Boone County HighSchool, started the WeekendBackpack Program in Septem-ber. Each week she accepts do-nations from local churches.Her business math studentssort the food, stock it on shelvesand keep track of inventory.

Every Friday, the studentswork in pairs. One reads the listof food to be pulled from theshelves while the other bags it.The list generally includes 20items, such as macaroni andcheese, milk, rice, pasta, vege-tables and cereal. Students whoreceive the food pick it up in aprivate room after school.

“It’s all different kids,” Wal-lace said. She said some arehomeless. Others are frommid-

dle-class families whose par-ents recently lost their jobs.Students aregenerally referredbycounselorsorother students.

“One kid’s family was doingwell, so he took his name off thelist, but then referred a friend,”Wallace said. “Our studentstake care of each other.”

Seventeen students current-ly receive the backpacks. Citidonated 75 backpacks, andWal-lace said there are probably atleast that many students whocould use the help, but food islimited.

A few churches have madedonations, though Wallace saidGraceEpiscopalChurchinFlor-ence is the only one that has do-nated every week. She will beapplying for a grant next weekto try to get more food, and sheis hoping more churches orbusinesses will help.

Junior Aubrey Stuck helpspack the food eachweek. “I likehelping people who need it. I dothe same thing at my church.”

LeAnn Holsclaw, also a stu-dent in the class, said she likesdoing any kind of communityservice. “People need help, es-pecially those who are home-less, soI like todo itwhenIcan,”she said. “And I know they ap-preciate it.”

UNION — Cheerleadingteams from two local schoolsbrought home trophies lastweek from the UniversalCheerleaders Association’sNational High School Cheer-leading Championship.

Competing against squadsfrom across the U.S., RyleHigh School’s varsity cheer-leaders placed fifth in the na-tion in the annual competi-tion’s Medium Varsity Divi-sion I.

Dixie Heights HighSchool’s varsity squad placedeighth in the same division.

“It’s one of the toughest di-visions, and we had a lot ofgreat competition,” said Deb-bie Pyles, Ryle’s head coach.“The girls’ success comesfrom their dedication to thesport and each other – it’s beenhours and hours of practicethis season, and they havemade a lot of sacrifices.”

Ryle’s junior varsity squadalso placed ninth in its LargeJunior Varsity Division at theannual championship.

The National High SchoolCheerleadingChampionship isheld each year at theWalt Dis-ney World Resort in Orlando.This year, it was Feb. 8-9.

Televisednationally onbothESPN and ESPN2, the eventputs the cheerleading world’s“best of the best” in the spot-light, according to Pyles.

“It’s an amazing opportuni-ty for cheerleaders all over theworld,” Pyles said of the na-tional championship, whichalso has “World School” com-petitions that include interna-tional teams.

“They make connectionswith other teams and makelifelong friends.”

Ryle’s varsity cheerlead-ers’ road to a coveted top fivespot in their division this yearactually began last year, whenthe squad placed ninth.

The teamreached itsgoal ofplacing in the top 10 last year,so the cheerleaders made aneven bigger goal before thisyear’s championship – makingthe top five.

They reached that goal thisyear with a relatively newteam, according to Pyles.

Many of the girls on lastyear’s varsity team were sen-iors.

“We thought this yearwould be a rebuilding year, butit’s turned out to be an amazingyear,” she said.

Thoughmuch of the team isnew, the girls have already es-tablished a special camarade-rie.

“We’re all so close, and itmakes us a stronger team,”said Ryle sophomore MeganHerbert, who has been on thevarsity team for the past twoyears. “We are supportive, andwe’re always pushing eachother to do better.”

Family drives W-V senior to titleWALTON — Lane Jones had

been inspiredbyhis brotherLo-gan for two days.

Trailing 2-0 in his final highschool wrestling match, theWalton-Verona High Schoolsenior needed another boostfrom his junior teammate.

Once he got it, Jones dom-inated St. Xavier senior NoahBauer the rest of the way andwent on towin 8-3 in the state fi-nal at 170 pounds Feb. 16 at All-tech Arena.

“I’m a senior, this is the lasttime I get to wrestle with mybrother,” he said. “My dad is upin the stands crying and mybrother is crying because he’shappy for me. No one will beable to take this away fromme.”

Lane finished 52-5 for theseason and is the first statechamp in school wrestling his-tory.

Both Jones brothers were

staterunner-up lastyearandde-voted themselves to taking thenext step in 2013.

Logan’s journey endedquickly when he was disquali-

fied in the first round at 152 af-terbeingpenalizedforan illegalslam, a call many witnesses, in-cluding Bearcats head coachDave Barnes, disagreed with.

“That disappointed us all be-cause me and him wanted to bein the spotlight again like wewere last year, but this time wewere going to win together,”Lane said.

Lane rolled to an early pin inhis first match, then edged Ca-leb Canter of Union County in

roundtwonot longafterLogan’smisfortune to set up Saturday’srun to the final.

Logan proceeded to win sev-enmatches inarowto takethirdplace, and after collecting hisstate medal, he was on the floorduringhis brother’s state cham-pionship match.

Bauer took Lane down fortwo points in the first period,and the second period beganwith Lane’s 2-0 deficit.

“I looked up and saw mybrother in the corner,” Lanesaid. “I don’t know why but Iheard his voice say that you cando it. It hitmyheart and Iwasn’tgoing to lose that match. Itmeans the world to me seeinghim know I can win this matcheven though I just got taken

This week saw a numberof bills advance which aredesigned to improve publicsafety. I was proud to be aco-sponsor of House Bill 3,appropriately called the“Human Trafficking Vic-tims Rights Act.” This leg-islation cracks down on the

crime ofhumantraffickingand makesprovisionsfor theprotectionof the youthwho havebeen vic-timized bythe horrificacts ofthose who

prey on vulnerable chil-dren. State law enforce-ment and prosecutors fromacross the commonwealthjoined forces in support ofthis bill.

House Bill 51, legislationdesigned to protect victimsof floods, tornadoes, andsevere winter storms,cleared the house, requir-ing that organizations iden-tifying themselves as chari-table organizations for pur-poses of raising relief fundsfor victims must file re-ports with the KentuckySecretary of State to insureaccountability in the dis-tribution of funds.

House Bill 34 will re-quire that any city or coun-ty official compensated forparticipation in governmenttraining programs will berequired to undertake twohours of training on in-terlocal agreements. Thislegislation is written toinsure local officials arewell educated on the proce-dures required to shareservices and equipment.Statistics show that theseagreements generally cre-ate a financial savings andincreased efficiency inservice delivery.

Among the legislationgenerating the most dis-cussion in Frankfort are anumber of bills drafted todeal with the issue of aburgeoning debt in theKentucky Retirement Sys-tems.

Boone County holds a veryelite distinction that some ofits residents aren’t even awareof.

Boone County is the home ofSteve Cauthen, from his birthto the present day. And it’sabout time we celebrate thathonor because the year 2013marks the 35th anniversary of

his winningthe covetedbut elusiveTriple Crownof Thorough-bred Racing.

Throughoutthe entirehistory ofAmericanhorse racing, ithas been wonby only 11horses and

jockeys, Cauthen being thelast.

Will it ever be won again?Some experts think not be-cause of the expanded numberof races available to 3-year-olds across the country year-round with the resultant de-mands and wear and tear beingput upon them. But someday,that next “great” horse willsurface and prove themwrong.It’s just a matter of time andbreeding.

Cauthen was just an 18-year-old, 95-pound boy when heentered horse racing’s Nirvanaback in 1978. He probably nev-er even fathomed remainingthere for a full 35 years either.That particular year was theyear of the greatest two-horserivalry in the history of racingboth here in the U.S. andabroad.

Affirmed was foaled inKentucky but raised andtrained at Harbor View Farmin Florida. He was in fact thefirst Florida horse to ever wina major stakes race, much lessthe Triple Crown. But he didn’taccomplish this all by himself.He had another Kentucky born

horse by the name of Alydarwho was raised and trained atCalumet Farm in Lexingtonpushing and challenging himliterally every inch of the way.And he had Steve Cauthenguiding him along.

Affirmed and Alydar met atotal of 10 times in their ca-reers, with Affirmed winningseven of the races. He wasnamed Horse of the Year bythe Jockey Club in 1977, 1978and 1979.

The year 1977, while Af-firmed was rested after racingas a 2-year-old year, Cauthenkept riding and winning. Au-thor Lou Sahadi in his book“Affirmed: The Last TripleCrownWinner,” said, “he fin-ished his year as the most dec-orated jockey who ever rodeand the most celebrated ath-lete of 1977.”

He made the cover of SportsIllustrated three separatetimes (which no one had everdone before). He was also fea-tured on the cover of Timemagazine twice, and had afeature article about him writ-ten inNewsweek. He was fea-tured on TV commercials, talkshows, radio, and in everyform of the printed mediaimaginable.

Cauthen was even pictured

on his ownWheaties box. Hewas the very first horse racingcelebrity to be named Sports-man of the Year by SportsIllustrated. He was named theAssociated Press’s Profession-al Athlete of the Year, alsobeing the very first horse rac-ing star to be so honored; andAthlete of the Year by SportingNews, as well as Big Sport of

Turfdom by the Sports Pub-licists of America. He eclipsedthe all-time money earningsfor one year by a jockey bymore than $2 million over theprevious record.

Walton, Ky.’s own SteveCauthen is an internationalsports icon whose accomplish-ments and records may neverbe duplicated. Boone Countyhas every right to be proud ofits native son and star athlete,truly one-of-a-kind.

Join me in congratulatingSteve Cauthen on this 35thanniversary of winning horseracing’s most prestigious Tri-ple Crown!

Be sure to check out one ofthe books at the Boone CountyPublic Library about SteveCauthen and Affirmed andlearn more about their careersand accomplishments.

Will the record ever be broken?

Ditch MitchThere was a vote a couple of

weeks ago that affected filibus-tersby individualU.S.Senators.

The Jan. 25 vote drew thiscomment from Sen. Rand Paul:“This evening, the U.S. Senatevoted on a series of changes toamend the standing orders ofthe Senate, much to the cham-ber’s detriment. Both resolu-tions passed. Tonight, SenateDemocrats succeeded in seri-ously weakening the greatestdeliberative legislative body intheworld.Theruleschange lim-its the ability of senators to of-fer amendments, stifles debateandgreases the skids forDemo-crats to implement more oftheir tax-and-spendagenda.Forthese reasons, I voted no.”

Paul failed to point out thatthis legislation, while spon-soredbyDemocrat Senate lead-er Harry Reid, was co-spon-sored by none other than Re-publican leader Mitch McCon-nell. One must ask whyMcConnell is “greasing theskids for Democrats to imple-ment more of their tax-and-spend agenda.”

Professor Hugh Henry ofNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity castigates me for chal-lenging the unwillingness ofsome to increase water rates$8 a month in order to insuresafer drinking water.

Prof. Henry notes EPA’slack of certainty about theassociation between thechemicals in question andcancer. Yet in addressing thequestion why EPA imposesthis regulation, he acknowl-edges it is being proactivebecause it believes there is“a weak association that isworthy of concern.” Prof.Henry then characterizesthat as “bureaucracy out ofcontrol.”

I don’t think so. We shouldbe most grateful for theEPA. The reason we candrink the water at all is be-cause of the EPA. And forthose who have forgotten,the EPA was establishedduring the Nixon admini-stration.

I am not a scientist. I aman attorney, as Prof. Henry

notes, andmore impor-tantly forthis discus-sion, a citi-zen. I – andDemocratsgenerally –believe inour govern-ment’s ef-forts,through its

agencies, to protect its citi-zens from harm while pursu-ing a higher quality of lifeand standard of living forall.

If the EPA has enacted aregulation because it hasestablished an association –even if weak – that could beharmful to us, that should besufficient. Why risk my chil-dren’s future health for $8 amonth?

Prof. Henry suggests I aminsensitive to the impact onlow-income people. In my 34years as a legal aid attorneyI cannot remember anyoneever suggesting I am in-

sensitive to the circum-stances of low-income peo-ple. Some costs must beborne by all, as a matter offair social policy.

Finally, Prof. Henry citeshis degrees from Duke Uni-versity and the University ofVirginia. I’m not sure of therelevance – but to the extentit matters, my degrees arefrom Harvard Universityand Boston University. Andwhile I don’t teach at NKU, Ihave been an adjunct profes-sor for over 20 years at Uni-versity of Cincinnati Collegeof Law.

The difference betweenthe Tea Party and the Demo-cratic Party is that we err, ifwe err, on the side of pro-tecting the public from po-tential harm while pursuingthe public good, not on theside of exposing the publicto potential harm to save afew dollars.

In 2004, Linda andGregSals-bury had to make a decision.Theyknew, innately, itwould bea big one. They knew it couldhelp to define the rest of theirlives.

In the end, they went withthe domesticated South Ameri-can camelid.

It started when the Burling-ton couple took part in the fed-eral government’s Tobacco Re-form Act, which gave them asmall amount of money everyyear for 10 years – think hun-dredsofdollars, not thousands–to get out of the tobacco-grow-ing business.

It meant the Salsburys had achance to start over.

They knew they loved theirland, which they had ownedsince1986. It was the place theyraised their four children, andthey wanted to grow old on it.But they didn’t want a prettyfarm, they wanted a workingfarm. They wanted to growsomething or raise something.

It was important to them.The Salsburys made an ap-

pointment with the UniversityofKentuckyCollege ofAgricul-ture’s Cooperative Extension.There was an office just up theroad from their farm.

What, they asked the agent,could they do with 52 rollingacres of green trees and lushland?

The agent rattled off a list ofoptions and then, at the end,said casually: “Or you couldconsider alpacas.”

Greg only had two questionsfor him: “What’s an alpaca andhow do you spell it?”

They learned the alpaca isabout half the size of a llamaand boasts a luxurious fleece

coat. It comes from the Andesmountains of Peru, Bolivia andChile.

They did some research,looked at some photographsand talked to people who knewthe animals.

And on a hot summer day in2005, they got their first goodlook at an alpaca.

Perhaps the best way to de-scribe theseanimals is that theylook like a teddy bear crossedwith a camel. They are all longlegs and long necks with lotsand lots of hair.

They are, in fact, stronglyreminiscent of the televisionsitcom puppet Alf.

For Greg, it was love at firstsight. For Linda? Not so much.

“I thought they were justfunny looking,” Linda said.

“I thought it was crazy. Itwas hot and I was sitting in thecar and he was standing in themiddle of all these alpacas.”

The minutes passed and fi-nally Linda had enough and be-gan a process familiar to anymarried couple.

She got out of the car, stoodnext to the fence and stared ather husband.

“I was willing him to look atme,” Linda said. “One look, andhe would know it was time togo.”

ButGregandLindahadbeenmarried for nearly 30 years;Greg knew enough not to look.

So he talked to the farmerand looked at the animals.

And Linda waited. Andglared. And then it happened.

“This alpaca comes up to meand puts his face right up tomine,” Linda said.

She froze. She feared hemight spit. But he didn’t.

“He put his nose right upagainst mine and then hewalked away. I knew right then:I want to do this.”

That day they decided to buyfive alpacas: two pregnantfemales, two babies – the youngare called cria – and a male. To-day the Salsburys have 138 al-pacas on their farm, 125 ofwhich are theirs and13 they areboarding.

They have a farm store, abreedingprogramand informa-tional tours. “We are part of theagra-tourism business,” Gregsaid.

Their business, Eagle BendAlpacas, has become one of thelargest alpaca farms in North-ern Kentucky and SouthwestOhio. And that is saying some-thing, because Ohio has morealpacas and alpaca farms thanany other state.

This is a business for theSalsburys. Each spring, theyshear their animals and take thefiber down to Tennessee to getprocessed. They sell the yarn,they sell sweaters made fromthe yarn, they sell teddy bearsand socks and hats and mittensand scarves.

They also sell alpacas and al-paca “services.” Their top sire,El Nino’sMaximus, has a $4,500stud fee.

Greg still works in medicalsales and helps as much as hecan on the weekends. Linda,who used to be a nurse, is man-aging most of the business her-

self for now, and running the re-tail shop. But you can tell this isnot just a job to her.

Walking toward the big barn,she is able to name each alpacashe comes across. Here comesBeloved to say hello. ThenNoah, and here comes Odi,which, she says, looks just likeJimmy Durante. And he does.She spots Geneva in a crowdand then Pride and Black Ele-gance and Romney.

The animals are bashful butcurious. Most stand close, butnot too close. When they get alittle nervous they making ahumming noise. Eventually,they will approach. EspeciallyBeloved, who seems more dogthan cat, pressing up againstvisitors.

Linda rubs their backs andshows their thick fleece, softandwarmevenona cold, snowymorning. Each animal will pro-duce 5-10 pounds of fleece dur-ing the spring shearing. Thesweaters or socks or yarn theyproduce will have their namesattached.

People like that. The fleece,Linda says, is “softer than cash-mere and warmer than wool.”

For nearly eight years, theyhave grown to love these ani-mals and the fact that theirfarm is working again.

She opens the gate to leavethe enclosed area around thebarn, then turnsback to lookoutover the pasture and the barnsand the alpacas, some of whomare now running.

“Isn‘t this lovely?” she said.“Aren’t they just great?”

Linda Salsbury gets some lovefrom Beloved, or Lover Boy, asshe refers to the 4-year-oldalpaca. THE ENQUIRER/LIZ DUFOUR

Yesterday, grand-daughter Eva and Ishared a simple countrypleasure. We went for awalk downmy path thatleads to the East ForkRiver. She wanted to seeif the watercress wasgrowing in our littlespring-fed pool along thepath and if the“Easter grass”(wild onions) wasup yet. Well, nowatercress forour salad, but thewild onions weregrowing in littlepatches along anold stone wall.

There was abonus, too: Wildyellow aconitewas pokingthrough layers of fallenleaves and snow all overthe hill. What a surprisethat was. I think this isthe earliest yet that I’veseen both of these harbin-gers of spring. The aco-nite’s neon yellow petalslook delicate but are stur-dy enough to surviveunder a layer of snow.The flowers have a histo-ry, too.

Our friend Ike Leaf, ofblessedmemory, tossedthe first handful of seedson top of the hill yearsago. “When they dropseeds, they’ll tumbledown the hill and eventu-ally cover it,” he said. Andthey have. Check out myblog for a photo of Evapicking wild aconite.

Pesto stuffed porktenderloin

A recipe that garnersfans every time it’sserved. My friend, MaryLee Olinger, an AndersonTownship reader, firstshared this with me awhile back. She had eatenthis stuffed pork at thehome of her friend, MaryAnnMyers. My latest

version includesfresh parsley andRomano cheese.Make sure you usepork tenderloin andnot the loin, be-cause the loin won’tcook in the timegiven. Check a fewminutes before it’sdone – I roast mypork to 145 or so(seemy tip below).Use ready-made

pesto or my homemade.Even though Easter isweeks away, youmightwant to save this recipefor Easter dinner, it’s thatgood.

2 pounds pork tenderloin,trimmed

Ready-made or homemadepesto

Romano cheese, grated (orParmesan)

Pine nutsButcher stringFresh chopped parsley andextra cheese for garnish

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Slice the tender-loin, lengthwise, not quiteall the way through.Spoon pesto until it fills(and overflows a bit) thecavity. Gently tie roast inthree places to keep ittogether. Place onsprayed baking pan.

Sprinkle a good amount ofcheese and nuts overroast. Bake until done(145 degrees). In my ovenit takes about 25-30 min-utes; it may take longer inyours. If the pine nutsstart to get too brown,tent meat with foil. Letrest about 10minutes,tented with foil. Afterslicing, sprinkle withparsley andmore cheese.This feeds four to fivepeople.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Nervous about porktemperature? The USDAsays 145 degrees is safe.After resting a fewmin-utes, the temperature willrise a few degrees,enough to kill any harm-ful bacteria. Themeatwill be juicy andmay lookpink.

Rita’s pestoGo to taste on this.

3⁄4 to 1 teaspoon garlic,minced

2 tablespoons pine nuts2 tablespoons softenedbutter

2 cups basil leaves, packed1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese1⁄4 cup Romano cheese (oruse all Parmesan)

Extra virgin olive oil: startwith 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

With a food processor’smotor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and process untilsmooth. Store in refriger-ator up to a week. It mayturn a bit dark on the top,but that’s OK. Some peo-ple pour a thin layer of oilover the top to preventthis. Store in freezer sev-eral months, again pour-ing a thin layer of oil ontop to prevent darkening.

Dottingwith butter.The dilemma fromMary-ann from Erlanger has istoo much butter landingon top of casseroles.“When a recipe says todot with butter, I alwayswind up with too much ontop,” she says.

Solution: Keep a stickof butter in freezer. Peelwrapper back to desiredamount. Use a vegetablepeeler to shave rightamount from frozen but-ter, letting pieces fall ontofood in thin curls.

Kentucky and AmericaSaves week is Feb. 25 toMarch 2. This year’stheme, Set a Goal, Make aPlan, Save Automaticallyreminds us of very usefulfinancial tips.

Goals are dreams witha deadline. Setting a fi-nancial goal re-minds us what wewant to accomplishwith ourmoney. Itcould be saving forsomething smalllike a dinner out orsomething big likea vacation abroad.

Nomatter thedream, write downwhat it is, the esti-mated cost, whenyou want to do it,and howmuch youneed to save on a regularbasis to achieve the goal.Post the idea in an areayou see frequently andencourage the wholefamily to work toward thecommon goal.

Make a plan. All goodplans involvingmoneystart with knowing whatyou earn and what youspend. Tracking all in-come and expenses for amonth will help as youand your family develop abudget or spending plan.

Write down exactlyhow everyone in the fam-ily will contribute to thesavings goals. A childcould collect aluminumcans and sell them forscrap, while an adultmight commit to takinglunch to work instead ofeating out. The wholefamily can focus on sav-ingmoney on energy bylowering the thermostat,taking shorter showers,

and turning off all elec-tronics and the televisiona night or two a week.

Automatically savingmay be accomplishedwith the help of youremployers. If you havedirect deposit, have themoney go straight to a

savings account. Ifyou are paid incash determine toput a specificpercentage of themoney into a sav-ings account eachpay period. Thisforces you totransfer the need-edmoney fromsavings.

Children canbuild money sav-ing habits by com-

mitting to put a specificpercentage of specialevent, holiday and birth-daymonies into a savingsaccount for later use.

Consider joining theCooperative Extension2013 America Saves Chal-lenge. The free five-weekprogram is open to any-one who enrolls online. Itbegins on Sunday, Feb. 24,and runs through Sat-urday, March 30.

Question:How earlycan I start grass seedfor a lawn? I have heardyou can just throw grassseed down on top of thesnow. Is that true?

Answer:Mid-Febru-ary through late Marchis normally a great timeto start the cool-seasongrasses from seed, suchas the fescues, blue-grass and perennialryegrass. You will get a

better,more uni-form standof grass ifyou broad-cast theseed di-rectlyover theground,ratherthan onthe snow.

Forsmall

patches, rake the seed inby hand. For over-seed-ing larger areas, rent aslit-seeder, which plantsthe seed in shallow rowsand then covers it withjust enough soil (1/8th to¼ inch). Go back andforth in two or threedirections so you don’tjust end up with straightrows of grass.

You should wait untilthere is no snow on theground, and do the seed-ing when the ground isnot frozen, so you canget some loose soil overthe seeds. Due to compe-tition fromweeds andmoisture stress, grassseedings made from late

spring to mid-summerare seldom successful,so get it done early.

The state of Ken-tucky is not ideally suit-ed to either the warm-season or the cool-sea-son grasses. Because oftemperature extremesin summer and winter,developing a good lawnmay be a big challenge.Although we have manyhigh-quality Kentuckybluegrass lawns, tallfescue is the best-adapt-ed grass for NorthernKentucky.

Problem lawns withshade, poor soil, orheavy traffic shouldusually be establishedwith tall fescue. Fine(red) fescue and peren-nial ryegrass also havesome limited uses inlawns.

Do a soil test (freethrough your localNorthern Kentuckycounty extension ser-vice) to determine theexact lime and fertilizer

needs of your lawn. Nev-er add lime unless a soiltest reveals the need;otherwise, nutrient up-take is inhibited if thepH becomes too highfrom excess lime.

Seeding of new lawnsshould be done intoloose, prepared soil.Such seeding is usuallydone with a rotary seed-er or the drop-type seedand fertilizer spreader.To determine properseeding rates, requestUK Extension publica-tion, “Selecting theRight Grass for YourKentucky Lawn(AGR-52).”

For uniform distribu-tion, divide the seed intotwo equal lots. The sec-ond lot should be seededat right angles to thefirst. Cover the seed byraking lightly or rollingwith a water-ballastroller. Mulch the arealightly with clean strawor other suitable materi-al. The mulch coveringshould be thin enough toexpose about 50 percentof the soil surface,which means usingabout one bale of strawper 1,000 square feet ofarea.

In the absence ofrain, water frequently,especially if you do notuse mulch. Keep the soilsurface moist until theseedlings become estab-lished.
