By Debbie Dennie, Editor

Bowen Farm Supply held an open house on Friday, November 3 for their new Florence store, located off I-75 at the Mt. Zion Road on Sam Neace Drive.

The grand opening was celebrated with several representatives from the John Deere Company, Representatives from the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore, John Deere Branch Manager for the Columbus Branch, Jerry Roell; as family members and friends watched Mrs. Jo Ross cut the ribbon.

Chamber Representatives presented the Ross Family with a framed $1 bill recognizing their first dollar of clear profit for the Florence store. John Deere representatives presented the family with a framed print of the first blacksmith shop John Deere used to invent the plow.

Bowen's Florence location sits on 2.3 acres and has approximately 10,000 sq. ft for the office, spacious show room and the service department.

Today's third generation brothers, Mark, Brad and Matt Ross took over operating the family business from their father, Arnold Ross. Their mother Jo Bowen Ross worked in the business with her father, L. E. "Booker" Bowen.

The Ross brothers decided in September of 2005 that they would be opening the Florence store.

"John Deere wanted us to open a dealership here and here we are," said Mark Ross. "We are pretty happy about it."

Students in the Falmouth Police Citizen's Academy got to see first hand on October 27 how K-9's have added much to the law enforcement agencies.

Pendleton County Deputy Sheriff Todd Dennie had his K-9 Zillion, a Belgian Malinois, present. Kentucky State Police Trooper Jerry Handy was present with his K-9 Luke, a german shepherd. Newport Police Officer Chris Gallichio brought his K-9 Valko, also a german shepherd. Newport Officer Gregg Ripberger was also present for the demonstrations.

Each police officer, a K-9 handler, explained to participants how the dogs were trained, and showed the compartments the K-9's were transported in.

Deputy Dennie demonstrated how his dog Zillion was able to sniff out drugs hidden in a vehicle. Zillion also quickly found some other drugs hidden on top of a fence.

Deputy Dennie is the Resource Officer for Pendleton County Schools. His dog is used to do searches at the high school or for other searches that officers may need done.
