After evading angry customers since late 2010, Rene and Nina Ward of W. Home Furnishings have packed up and left town. They still insist a buyer will take over their defunct River Ranch store and make good on its debts.
By Heather Miller
Call it shopper's intuition or obvious signs of a disquieted business. Either way, patrons of W. Home Furnishings in upscale River Ranch had a hunch that something was amiss.
Ellen Supple, one of at least 27 customers who now feels bamboozled, ordered $2,400 worth of slip covers from the store in March. As of Aug. 26, she was still waiting for them to arrive.
"All they ever did was say they never got them, or the factory never shipped them out," Supple recalls.
The 4-year-old River Ranch retail store officially closed Aug. 18 when First Bank and Trust stepped in and seized what was left in the 2,200 square-foot rental space. Based on a time line of complaints filed with the Lafayette Police Department against the now defunct company, financial troubles were brewing for more than nine months while W. owners Rene and Nina Ward (the W. is for Ward) pretended it was business as usual at their posh location.
The Wards moved from New Orleans to Lafayette in 2007 with high hopes of using the lessons learned from a fallen furniture business in Covington as grounds for a successful run as W. Home Furnishings. Their new business model appears to have passed financial muster during the first few years, as the couple expanded in the fall of 2010, adding a second location in Baton Rouge.
|Standing outside of W. Home Furnishings, Lafayette business owners Ryan Burley and Cherie Hebert wonder if they'll ever see the merchandise they paid for and never received from the fine furniture store in River Ranch that's now closed.
But whether the ventures ended in failure or fraud is still undetermined, and it could take months for the Lafayette Police Department to complete an investigation into at least five complaints from patrons who paid for merchandise they never received.
LPD Cpl. Paul Mouton, the department's spokesman, says the complaints stem from purchases made as far back as November 2010, the same month as the grand opening of W. in Baton Rouge.
"There were substantial purchases made," Mouton says. "If the DA says it's criminal, then we could issue a warrant regarding theft of the money. If it's civil the parties will have to seek remedy in court."
Ryan Burley, owner of Burley-Hipp Gallery and Interiors and one of LPD's W. complainants, says detectives have subpoenaed bank records and other financial statements to determine where the money paid to the company was spent. Burley's purchases from W. were on behalf of clients who hired him to redesign their home. His $12,000 check to W. cleared his bank account on Dec. 1, 2010, but only half of his order was delivered in January as promised. The other $5,200 worth of items never came, and all he got from the Wards was a long list of excuses.
Former customers and others close to the investigation say they've since learned that the Wards had not paid rent to River Ranch in several months. And for two days before the bank arrived to take over the company's assets, Rene Ward was seen moving furniture out of the building. By the time the bank showed up, Rene had packed up the River Ranch home his family was leasing and left town in the middle of the night. Nina had already been out-of-state for several weeks.
River Ranch developer Robert Daigle did not return calls for comment on the Wards' rent status.
With a referral from her business partner in hand, BBR Creative's Cherie Hebert went to W. for furniture and décor assistance when she decided to completely redecorate her living room. She worked closely with Nina on the design and furniture purchases and was, for the most part, pleased with Nina's taste and suggestions. A set of chairs Nina selected for the living room didn't appeal to Hebert, which eventually landed her with a $1,300 in-store credit after Hebert says she was misled by Nina about the store's return policy.
Hebert cashed in her store credit in May when she ordered new drapes and rugs for her home. She called the store after weeks went by and she never received her purchase, stepping up the dialing frequency a few weeks ago when she was repeatedly unable to reach anyone at the store.
No one returned her calls, and a young woman reached by phone at W. told Hebert that Nina was out of state on business. But Hebert didn't buy it. She started asking around and soon realized others had similar stories of being stiffed on prepaid purchases. And when Hebert stopped by the store in person to confront the situation, she found the doors shuttered and the business "papered up."
"She skipped town. She never returned my phone calls. That upset me the most," Hebert says. "I'm a business owner. I would've never done what she did."
Feeling defrauded, Hebert sent Nina a message through Facebook and offered her soured sentiments toward W., as well as her home address in case the Wards elected to "pony up and do the right thing."
|Nina Ward, co-owner of now defunct W. Home Furnishings
The response she received was lengthy, almost 800 words of woeful explanation.
"I left Lafayette and the business well over a month ago to take a job out of state to provide for our family," Nina says in her response. "We were not personally taking any money from the business, this is why I went to get a job. You have never been in my shoes and have no idea what is going on. We did not walk away, we were forced out by River Ranch and the bank on Aug. 18th, we had run out of time to remedy things. My family's business, which by the way my name is not on nor did I control the finances, has failed and is in the process of working with banks, bookeepers [sic], lawyers and businesss [sic] brokers to follow through on all outstanding orders. We have not taken a dime from the business."
Nina's story is at least partially true, though Sheri Morgan's experience at W. casts some suspicion on Nina's claims that the couple didn't siphon money from the company. Morgan drove to Lafayette from her home in Baton Rouge to purchase her "dream sofa," a specific couch model from a designer that W. carried. Her $1,700 order was placed on June 25, the outcome of her story the same as every other customer who's come forward since the business closed. She's still waiting.
"She gave me a discount for paying it all outright," Morgan says.
Robin Wright of Sunbelt Business Brokers confirms that there was and still is an interested buyer for the Wards' business. The original prospective suitor, according to Wright, wanted to take over and run the company full-time but was turned down for commercial loans. A new prospective buyer from out-of-state has reviewed the company's financial statements, and Wright says he is considering making an offer to the bank for the assets seized and moving W. Home Furnishings to a new location. The first order of business, if he decides to buy, will be fulfilling the long list of orders that haven't been received.
"It's not a done deal, but it looks promising," Wright says. "What we're working out, if it flies, it's a win-win for everybody. W. reopens, it's a great store and we've got someone who really wants to be there and run the business, three employees coming back, and an investor who wanted a store in Lafayette, so he's getting a good deal. This is a good business. They were making money. I'm not saying that Rene and Nina did everything perfect. Rene's problems come from other things. It's unfortunate that it happened the way it did. But we're dong the best we can to take care of things. With all their hearts, they want to see their customers taken care of. They're not going to get a penny."
As for W.'s customers in limbo, they can only hope that the deal closes and someone makes good on the more than $28,000 in collective purchases they've never received.
|A picture submitted by a customer who was allowed to enter W. Home Furnishings after it closed its doors reveals a list of names and merchandise owed to patrons that hangs in the back room of the business.
"I do feel empathy for these people," Burley says. "I wish for no one to fail in business. But I do think you have to have a level of integrity. At a certain point it's not just a business gone bad. I think it becomes theft. And I don't think they have empathy for me. If he had leveled with me and said 'I'm sorry, I don't have the money to fulfill your order,' I could have leveled with my clients. It would've made things a whole lot better."

Shocker: Shauna Sand Gave Sex Tape Green Light Before Fake-Suing to Block itby Free Britney at . Comments
It's official. Nothing can stop the Shauna Sand sex tape now.
The 97-percent plastic Playboy model has withdrawn a legal challenge claiming the tape of her and some boyfriend fornicating was released against her will.
She withdrew it after Steven Hirsh, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment, brought in a handwriting expert to prove Shauna had in fact signed off on the tape.
Wouldn't you know it, she had. All 12 people clamoring for the Shauna Sand sex tape can celebrate the fact that it's release will not be delayed any longer.
After meeting with her on Thursday, Hirsh said the ex-wife of Lorenzo Lamas has withdrawn the cease and desist letter her lawyer she sent Vivid this month.
Hirsh says Shauna's reason for withdrawing her challenge to the filthy, unappealing tape's release was because the lawsuit could prove "long and expensive."
Mmm. Sure.
Or because it was just a token threat to make it look like she didn't plan this desperate, nasty plea for attention all along. Yup, we're gonna go with that.
Shauna Sand has pulled out of a legal battle involving her sex tape. The guy co-starring in said tape is doing nothing of the sort, if you know what we mean!
I've recently watched Shauna Sand Sex Tape!
You can digg it here: Shauna Sand Sex Tape (full version)
Guys, dont work your right hands out))
Good luck!
Nasty white trash

Skull discovery in North Conway prompts call from Mass. family
A portion of a skull and teeth were found during a line search of the wooded terrain about two miles from Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway, officials have said.
"There is a possibility they could come up with a general and possible time line based on the condition of the remains," State Police Capt. David G. Parenteau said Monday.
Fish and Game Col. Martin S. Garabedian said it is rare to find unknown human remains in the White Mountain National Forest.
Of those reported missing to conservation officers, "very few people are unaccounted for," he added. He estimated the number to be two to three.

Coventry avoiding deficit this year
Thanks to its association with a regional body that helps entities reduce costs through bulk purchasing and numerous cuts in staff announced two months ago, the Coventry Local Schools District will avoid a deficit this year.
Coventry Schools Treasurer Aaron Butts presented details of those decisions and other efforts to cut spending during a presentation of the district's five-year forecast at the May 22 Board of Education meeting.
Butts told the board he was able to obtain a loan to defer $1.3 million in insurance payments until 2014 through the Stark County Council of Governments. In addition, he has deferred payment on about $200,000 in outstanding purchase orders until July.
Those moves, along with 20 cuts in staff and other moves announced recently, will help the district close the fiscal year ending June 30 with a balanced budget, according to Butts. However, Butts added he has projected the district will face a deficit of almost $1.8 million at the end of the 2013 school year and almost $3.5 million in 2014.
The board approved the forecast without comment.
In an effort to reach out to state officials on the district's financial woes, a group of district parents has created a petition calling on Gov. John Kasich to "restore millions of dollars slashed from funding public schools."
Those parents, some of whom spoke at the board meeting, are concerned that a "much needed" $2 million levy approved by voters in 2010 that was supposed to bring in funds to avoid the projected deficit was basically eliminated when Kasich cut $2 million in funding assistance to the district that same year, leaving the district short on operating funds.
Organizers of the petition are asking district parents to visit www.change.org/petitions/save-the-staff-and-library-at-coventry-local-schools to sign the petition.
In other business, the board approved a move from a seven-point grading scale to a 10-point grading scale, which Curriculum and Instruction Director Lisa Blough said is something that many other districts have already done. The new policy will help students remain competitive, recognize more students for their superior efforts, help them access more scholarship funds and bring them in line with college and other national education standards, she said.
Also during the meeting, the board:
• adopted pay-to participate fees for the next school year, maintaining them at the same level as last year;
• approved student fees for the next school year, with some increasing and others decreasing;
• approved a number of annual contracted services for the next school year; and
• recognized the following Star Students of the Month: Coventry High School senior Mary Claire Shaffer, Coventry Middle School eighth-grader Ben Sutter, Erwine Intermediate third-grader Miy Gotto and Turkeyfoot Elementary first-grader Maya Morrison.
The board moved its next meeting to June 26 at 6 p.m. at Coventry High School, 3089 Manchester Road.

About MeI believe in working hard, having faith, and putting your best foot forward. I would love to grace the pages of magazines, and book campaigns for cosmetic companies one day. I have done many shoots for local photgraphers, and my latest job was a billboard and commercial shoot for Schlitterbahn WaterPark. Hopefully from this site I will be able to network, go to castings, and learn from the information posted about my craft. I love shooting heashots, and swimwear- those are probably my favorite- but at the same time I love all the genres. I can be contacted through email or phone seeing as I always have my phone with me, and also on twitter.

Awesome Fried Chicken MSP?
Hi all,
First post, and I just wanted to say that this board has been a tremendous help to me since I moved to the cities a couple years ago. As an AZ transplant, your Mexican recommendations have been a lifesaver, even if I'm still bummed that really good green chile doesn't really exist here.
Anyhow, one thing that I've yet to nail down is a really good fried chicken spot. I'm hoping you kind folks can help a brother out. For reference, I live in St. Louis Park.
I'm a fried chicken fan too. Right now, there isn't much to recommend. Check out the other thread:
When I want really good chicken, I go to the Coop in South St. Paul.
Fried chicken is not exactly a Minnesota restaurant staple. I can't think of any place off hand that features and promotes it as something special. Whereas in states like Indiana and south fried chicken is a featured item that many restaurants stake their reputations on.
I ate a lot of green chili cheeseburgers in the Southwest last fall. That's big in the four corner states. Burger Jones in Minneapolis features a green chili cheeseburger. As for just a bowl of green chili, who knows? The Loon Cafe in Minneapolis features a green chili pork stew as one of their five different chili varieties.
'Dirty Pork Stew
A green chili pork stew loaded with onions, chiles, tomatoes, lean hand-cut chunks of pork in a delicious spicy garlic sauce. As served at the LaTolteca Tortelleria in Azusa, California for over forty years. Thanks Tim & Ben! We top it with cheese, green onions and sour cream. Served with flour tortillas."
Ok, I am going to preface this by saying that I haven't been there, yet, but Pittsburgh Blue advertises their "Sunday Supper" as a Fried Chicken with homemade coleslaw and sweet corn. It's $10 per person. Not being a huge consumer of fried chicken, I probably won't be the one to test it out, but if you do, let us know how it turns out.
re: princebaal
I recently had the Sunday Supper fried chicken, and I would give it thumbs down. It was an excellent value, with a large breast piece, leg, and thigh for like $8.99. However, the chicken was particularly dry, and it suffered the tell tale sign of poor preparation- the skin/breading pulled away in large sheets. I gave it a healthy dose of salt, and called it a lesson learned.
Well, welcome!
I can't add anything to this thread as KFC is my fav todate. And I can't cook fried chicken. I'm just an idiot at doing it (can't make mash 'taters, either and both failures make me cry.).
But I will be watching this thread and hope recs are not limited to far west locales as I would love to find some great moist/juicy/greasy (that's a running theme with me! LOL!) chicken with a crispy/crackley/tastey crust in the STP area.
I realize what I'm about to say will not be that helpful so I'm hoping fellow 'Hounds can fill in for me. I've heard that the joint located at the corner of Minnehaha and McKnight, the north east corner - right by 3M, has GREAT broasted chicken. Never had it, can't remember the name o'the place, and have no idea if it's even still there.
re: green56
Agree with The Coop in SSP. They have very, very good fried chicken.
re: green56
Once it opens for the season, you might try the Dari-ette's fried chicken (call ahead to order). We had some last year and thought it was pretty good... fresh fried to order, at least, which seems to me to be a significant part of getting fried chicken right (freshness). We've also had Rooster's, which is also not bad.
re: mtullius
This is the second rec I've had in about a month for Dari-ette's fried chicken.I'm going to have to try that when the season starts up again!
re: green56
The place is the 5-8 Tavern and grill...Strange I live just around the corner but never heard about their chicken...But around 4:30-5 if your across the street a Sarracks International you can smell somethin good in the air. Maybe it is the chicken...Will let you know.
Here's the other fried chicken thread:
Skinners and The Coop are not bad if you are in the neighborhood, but it's a long way from the western suburbs. Otherwise, Popeye's fills the bill for a guilty pleasure.
re: KTFoley
I find that Cub stores have really nice fried chix.
It was a seasonal item on the menu last summer at Cafe Levain (49th & S. Chicago) and it was absolutely fantastic. They served it with this wonderful vinegar-based hot sauce that had potent yet very flavorful heat. If it makes its way back onto the menu this spring/summer I would highly recommend it.
There are two that do a wonderful job in st paul. The Countryside in Roseville and Schroeders on Como and Front. both do broasted chicken. Its crispy well seasoned and not greasy.
re: Seige
I'd avoid Dixies. Being from the south, their food isn't really southern- it's more like what someone would think southern people eat. Plus it's just not that good.
There's plenty of good broasted chicken around, many places named here. I haven't tried the Coop but their site says they pressure cook, which is what KFC does.
I haven't run across any place that actually pan fries chicken, with the exception of the earlier-mentioned dish at Levain. It was really good (but a little fancier that actual fried chicken, like a meat and 3 type restaurant).
I´ve always had a soft spot for Shorty and Wag´s in Minneapolis on 38th and Nicollet, but that´s a fair ways away from St. Louis Park. J and J Fish and Chicken on University in Saint Paul´s alright as well.
Golden Chicken in North on 24th and Penn is good but sketchy. I guess it depends on how far you are willing to drive for chicken.
If you end up at Shorty and Wag´s, be sure to get the Hojo´s also.
re: larssten
shorty & wags is just chicken wings. Not bad though. Dry spiced and good sauce on the side.
Hi, we've split a digression about green chilies into its own thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/6933...
I don't mean to knock the previously mentioned Cafe Levain. But the mere mention of it on a fried chicken thread prompted me to check out what type of establishment with the word Cafe in the name serves greasy fried chicken. Well, here's the menu:
I'm sorry. But that "seasonal" fried chicken for $30 better be good enough for God.
I guess I'm just a waffle house kinda guy.
re: alpa chino
It's not actually on menu right now, and when it was it was nowhere near $30. But whatever they were charging at the time, it was worth every penny. I'm really hoping they bring it back this summer.
re: keithinmpls
Yeah, it was summer only and I think it was around $14-$16.
I've also not found what I'd call "awesome" fried chicken in the Twin Cities, but I've always been a fan of the real "Broasted(tm)" chicken, found in finer gas stations everywhere. Here's a Broaster store locater:
It found 62 locations within 30 miles of Bloomington...
Also, as mentioned before, most Cubs Foods seem to have pretty good fried chicken, if you get it while it's fresh - and you can't beat the price.
re: greghoffman
I will second the recommendation of Broasted chicken. Some of the best chicken I ever had was the Broasted Chicken from the Hager Heights Drive In in Hager City, WI (right across the river from Red Wing ,MN)
Hager Heights Drive In
7866 170th Ave, Hager City, WI 54014
re: greghoffman
Amen to the broaster! Check out The Lookout in Maple Grove.
re: sporkgirl
I never in my life thought I'd see The Lookout recommended to anyone for anything. But, if they have good chicken, more power to them.
re: greghoffman
Has anyone had the fried chicken that 112 offers?
you should try the Favor on Lake Street and Bryant. Its kiddy corner from Bryant Bowl. They feature great soul food classics and the fried chicken tastes "like my mommas". You can eat in or carry out. They have a full menu of chicken, greens, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams. Enjoy...
re: tystew
Thanks for the rec. I'm always looking for a good soul food place.
re: tystew
I've never heard of that place. How long has it been there?
re: tystew
Everything looks good and I'm sure it is. I'll try it one of these days. But the $$$$$$$$.....
re: alpa chino
Do a search on the old board for Favor. Went there and wasn't impressed. It was quit awhile ago but I never wanted to try it again. To many other good spots in the city for different kinds of food. Soul food in Mpls.??? I don't think we have the right water to pull it off.
re: ibew292
I just want the chicken, that's all I care about. I'll try it. There used to be an Eric E's or Easy E's on nicollet for soul---it went out of business. I tried it, alright but again $$$$$.
You need special water to make soul food????? Didn't know there was a difference between the hydrogen & oxygen in MSP compared to other places. lol
re: alpa chino
I think ibew was taking a jab at a recent conversation in another thread about how NYC water was necessary to make proper NYC pizza.
Big E's was run by Eric Austin. There was some talk a few years ago about him opening another place, but I haven't heard anything about it recently. He still has a web site (http://www.bigesoul.com/) but there's no current info.
re: bob s
Oh, okay. I understand. Actually, I don't think water is the problem---it's the air. I believe that NY has a slightly higher nitrogen content in their atmosphere. This minute increase in N may help to proof the dough in such a particular way--that the yeast molecules will temper it's activation process. This tempering affects the sugar and may impart a specific flavor enhancement that cannot be reproduced outside of NY.
I believe I saw an article in my last issue of Scientific American about this pressing issue. Very interesting.
Good fried chicken is hard to find in these parts. But we have the under-recognized Broasted Chicken! The best I've found has been at a *gasp* chain. Pizza Ranch has some great chicken! Pizza is a good midwestern pie, but the chicken is great! Closest one is in Delano right off Highway 12 (what 394 turns into).
re: Skizzle
Pizza Ranch chicken is the best. I often tell people when they mention they *have* to to to PR to pick chicken. It is so good. I did my undergrad in Morris, MN and it was one of the best things in town. That and Don's Cafe.
re: churchka
Well, I can't speak for the PR chicken, but Don's in Morris rules! Especially for breakfast!
The fried cajun wings with hot sauce are fantastic, albeit a little salty. Seriously, they are wonderful. Pair it with the ginger lemonade. These are wings though.
For broasted chicken, the best I've had was from the ghetto cub off Broadway/94. A little scary inside but very good and inexpensive chicken. The Lookout in Maple Grove is pretty good as is Key's Cafe in Spring Lake Park maybe.
Fried chicken is really difficult to find. Honestly, i don't think I've found the real deal FRIED option.
Have a nice day, k?
re: savvyguy
Where can we find these fried cajun wings with hot sauce?
re: KTFoley
Oh lord, the wings and ginger lemonade are at the Midtown Market at West Indies. If you're really hungry, you can also get a gyro and Manny's torta.
re: savvyguy
I'll have to check out those wings at MGM....sounds delicious.
I love the fried chicken at the Cub in Mpls on Broadway too. They have their own special breading that is only at the "Jerry's" owned Cub stores. I guess they own the Cub on Lake Street and in Brooklyn Center too as well as some other stores around town
Monte Carlo! Their chicken soup is tasty too.
Monte Carlo Bar & Cafe
219 3rd Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55401
I'd put in a nod for Annie's Deli in New Brighton, though the hours are limited, to say the least.
re: BigE
I can vouch for Annie's fried chicken. I just took a trip all the way up there yesterday and grabbed a 4 piece dinner. The chicken is very moist and doesn't taste greasy. It's pretty good.
And the sides were good also. I got mashed potatoes (which were real) and coleslaw. The place was busy when I went. They also had plates of casseroles and things too.
re: alpa chino
I'm glad to hear its busy, given the odd location. I haven't been back in months, but I'll have to make a stop in some time soon.
re: BigE
Thanks BigE for telling me about this place. I work very near here and never, EVER would've found this. I did have a difficult time finding it the first time I went, even with navigation. So, the first time I went, I did NOT take the advice about CALLING before going here. They were not serving food this day. I finally was able to try this a few weeks later and am very happy for that. The chicken was not greasy and delicious. They were out of breasts so I stuck with a couple, or four, legs. The chicken was very good but not quite as good as the Cub on Broadway/94. It maybe needs a little more seasoning or something. My old teammate had the fish/housemade tarter sauce, which she said was top-tier and nearly perfect. All of the sides were very good. I had the jo-jos and mac/cheese and each were great! I also had a dill pickle and smiled. The best thing about Annie's is hands down the service. Everyone was SO DARN friendly and they wouldn't accept tips. I was pleasantly surprised that they accepted cards and, even more so, when they offered a complimentary homemade dessert to all four of us. My four piece with two sides and a pickle came to just over $6 and this place made me extremely happy.
re: savvyguy
Glad you made it. They are really in an odd spot...if you aren't in that little business park, you probably don't even know they exist. I'd go more often if it weren't a 20+ minute drive at lunch time.
If you are willing to drive a little way, The Valley Bar & Grill about 10 miles east of Prescott, WI on Hwy. 10 is the place to go for their Sunday night chicken fry. It's a real, Wisconsin bar & grill type of place. It's an all you can eat deal with a few homemade salads, including a great macaroni and tuna salad, baked beans, homemade dressing, dumplings and chicken gravy, french fries and wonderful juicy fried chicken. They even throw in all the milk you can drink for the restaurant style milk machine that sits at the end of the tiny buffet line. Check it out.. it makes for a great drive on a Sunday afternoon. BTW... the Valley also has the best Friday night fish fry around.
For the BEST fried chicken in the Twin Cities, I put forth Hickory Hut! They have whole fried chicken wings that have a really flavorful batter (got alot of spices, kind of asian flavor). Tuesdays and thursdays they have a special deal on wings too! I've never tried the other stuff before but the wings are bomb.
The Hickory Hut

re: kersie
Oooh! Exciting! I was going to post about my sorrow at not being able to eat fried chicken now unless I make it myself (I quit eating "factory farmed" meat a while back), but this makes me hopeful that I might have some options!
Being from the South, I've been on the search for good fried chicken myself - for years. I also live in the West - try Birches in Long Lake - their "Buckhorn Chicken in the Rough" is fantastic. And, when I lived in St Paul - I swore the fried chicken at the Cub on Snelling and 94 rocked! No other Cub has lived up to it, however. Enjoy!
