TROY — Eagles’ WingsFall Fest and Ride-a-Thonwill take place Oct. 6 from9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at theMiami County Fair-grounds.Eagles’ Wings Stables

Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofitorganization that has beenoffering equine-assisted ac-tivities and therapies since2006. The agency hasserved nearly 350 childrenand adults with disabili-ties in Miami County andthe surrounding areas.The Fall Fest and Ride-

a-Thon is part of Eagles’Wings’ annual fundraisingactivities. The event willinclude riding demonstra-tions during which instruc-

tors will conduct mocktherapeutic riding sessionswith some of the center’sparticipants. Games, food,an auction, raffle andhorse-drawn wagon rideswill all be part of the festi-val.Riders are taking

pledges now for the Ride-a-Thon. To make a pledge,call the Eagles’ Wings of-fice at (937) 778-0021 oremail [email protected] year’s Ride-a-

Thon, a first for EaglesWings, raised $5,000, saidinstructor Kelly Monnin.“Last year went very

well. We had a large par-ticipation of students rid-ing in their time slots,and we had a very sur-prising pledge amount,”

Monnin said.The goal for this year’s

event is $10,000. Studentsraise money by seekingpledges from their familyand friends. During theevent, each student ridesfor 30 minutes while per-forming tasks they do dur-ing class. An announcerdescribes the task andwhat it teaches to thecrowd.The public is welcome

mately $18,000 towardthat income, so the staffrelies on donations andgrants to cover the re-mainder of their expenses.Without donations, theparticipants’ cost of thera-peutic riding sessionswould increase tremen-dously and it would not bepossible for many of themto continue in the pro-gram.Eagles’ Wings strives

to provide mounted andunmounted equine-as-sisted therapeutic activi-ties. This unique form oftherapy allows individu-als to learn skills and de-velop physically in a funand interesting environ-ment. Participants learnbasic horsemanship skillssuch as grooming, tacking(saddling up), riding andcontrolling a horse.Many students also

participate in mountedgames and activities thatare geared toward theirindividual needs andgoals, whether they bephysical, cognitive, emo-tional and/or behavioral.Benefits include betterbalance, more muscle con-trol, increased focus onthe task at hand, a senseof independence and ahigher level of self-effi-cacy.Monnin has been an

instructor at EaglesWings for five years,working with a variety of

people from children withDown Syndrome and alltypes of autism to adultswith multiple sclerosis.Classes are taught withthree students, one in-structor and nine volun-teers, who help ensure thesafety of the students.Students with similarabilities and disabilitiesare grouped together sothey are on somewhatequal ground.Monnin, a registered

instructor with the Pro-fessional Association ofTherapeutic Horseman-

ship, has seen the benefitsequine-therapy has hadon many of her students.“We have kids start out

barely able to sit up on ahorse and over the courseof time, you see themcrawl and walk,” she said.“Others are unable to saya single word and thenout of the blue, in themiddle of class, theyboldly say ‘whoa’ or ‘walkon.’ We see huge changeswhen people build a rela-tionship with horses. It’sabout having that physi-cal contact with anotherbeing.”Proceeds and dona-

tions from the Fall Festand Ride-a-Thon will helppay for the care of thehorses and facilities soEagles’ Wings can con-tinue to provide clientswith equine-assisted ther-apies.For more information,

GREENVILLE — Pho-tographs capturing the ab-stract beauty of naturallandscapes and beautifullyfinished sculptures craftedfrom wood will be on dis-play beginning Fridaythrough Oct. 21 in thegallery at historic Bear’sMill. Fred Niles, professorof graphic design at theUniversity of Dayton, cap-tures architectural forms,land, sky and water in hisphotographs; his colleagueat University of Dayton,Gary Marcinowski, is aprofessor of sculpture whocreates furniture and ab-stract wooden forms.Each Art at the Mill ex-

hibit opens with a Fridaynight reception that offerslight appetizers and winefrom 6 to 9 p.m. Both Niles

and Marcinowski will be inattendance, and hope to in-teract with all who visitduring the evening. Accord-ing to Julie Clark, retailmanager and gallery coor-dinator for Bear’s Mill,these artists uniquely cap-ture aspects of the naturalworld.“Once again, the conflu-

ence of our gallery spacewith the works of art cre-ates a timeless aura thataugments and enhancesboth entities,” she said.Niles said he has always

enjoyed looking at the envi-ronment, and that fascina-tion led the Pennsylvanianative to become interestedin capturing with his cam-era the design elementsfound in the world aroundus. He calls what he does

“documenting the geometryof the environment.” Thatsomewhat academic as-sessment is balanced by hisobservation that he also

looks upon his impressivedigital prints as “romanti-cized landscapes.” For thisexhibit, he will display im-ages from his many travels,

including pictures ofTurkey, Ireland and Scot-land, as well as the famil-iar landscapes of Ohio andMichigan.Marcinowski crafts

meaningful images fromwood; pieces which are anoutward expression of in-trospective musings ongreat subjects, such as thepower of memory and themeaning of life and death.“I explore the search for

personal spiritual meaningin contemporary cultureand its place in the modernworld,” said the 70-year-oldartist.“Furrows,” a distinctive

piece especially appropri-ate for Bear’s Mill’s ruralsetting, focuses on “thespring image of rich freshlyplowed earth and the dark

mystery of life in thetrenches between therolled earth.” Texture andmood are created by the ex-ploratory use of paintaround the entrances intothe inner spaces of the con-tainer-like sculptureswhich transcend their formto fascinate and move theviewer.Art At the Mill has re-

ceived a grant from theAmi McClurkin Commu-nity Fund, held by theHOPE Foundation ofDarke County and also re-ceives support from DarkeCounty Endowment for theArts. The art exhibits areon view during regular Millstore hours, 11 a.m. to 5p.m. daily. For more, call(937) 548-5112 or seewww.bearsmill.com.

TROY—What startedas a casual invitation byfriends to take a danceclass evolved into a lifestyleand eventually, a businessfor one Piqua couple. Rickand Judy Bowerman teachballroom, Latin and swingdance classes in Piqua andTroy through their busi-ness, RJBallroom.The couple have been

dancing since their firstclass in 1998, but admitone of them was reluctantto begin.“We had several friends

who took dance lessonsand invited us to jointhem,” Judy said. “I waseager to start, but Rickwas not very enthusiastic.This went on for two tothree years. Finally, Rickcaved about three monthsbefore our daughter’s wed-ding.”They signed up for

classes with Peg Myer inTroy and had such a greattime, they’ve hardly takentheir dancing shoes offsince. They both eventuallybecame teaching assis-tants for Myer, and thenacquired her businesswhen she retired in 2009.They soon expanded thebusiness from teaching atone location, one eveningper week, to three loca-tions and three eveningsper week. They also hosttwo dances per month thatare open to the public.RJBallroom offers be-

ginning classes in waltz,swing, foxtrot, cha cha,rumba, tango, slow danceand nightclub two step. Noprior experience or skill isneeded to join a beginner

class. Other dances are of-fered once the student pro-gresses beyond thebeginner level. Intermedi-ate and advanced level in-struction is available forthose who get the dancingbug. Classes are taught atLa Bella Viaggio in Troy,Just for Dance in Piquaand the Troy Rec.New classes start each

month, and registrationsare being taken for the Oc-tober sessions, which beginMonday. The Octoberlineup is beginner rumbaand tango on Mondays atLa Bella Viaggio, beginnerslow dance and nightclubtwo step on Tuesdays atJust for Dance and begin-ner waltz and swing onThursdays at the Troy Rec.The intermediate and ad-vanced classes are alsotaught on Thursdays atthe Troy Rec. Those Octo-ber dances are swing and

silver bolero I respectively.All classes take place in

the evening hours, and areopen to ages 15 and older.Get the full schedule atwww.RJBallroom.com.“Our students range in

age from teens to retirees.Some come as singles, butmost are couples,” Ricksaid. “Although they allshare the common goal ofwanting to learn to dance,their reasons aren’t alwaysthe same. Many of our stu-dents come in preparationfor a wedding dance. Oth-ers may just be looking foractivities for couples.”While the Bowerman’s

dancing life may havestarted out of a desire tograce the dance floor attheir daughter’s wedding,it quickly evolved.“One unexpected bene-

fit we soon realized after westarted dancing was that it was adate night for us,” Judy said.“While raising children, our ac-tivities were mostly centeredaround their activities. That’snot a bad thing, but we didn’t de-vote much time to each other.Dancing was fun, and socializingwith other adults was just asgood.”They were intrigued by the

challenge of moving as onearound the dance floor. Becausethe lady generally moves back-ward, she can’t see where she isgoing or what’s in her path, soshe must learn to trust him andfollow his lead.“Dancing with a partner is

like communicating in a foreignlanguage,” Judy said. “For twopeople to move as one, the com-munication takes place throughbody language. It’s faster andmore direct than verbal commu-nication while dancing.”The couple also has benefitted

from learning from multipleteachers. The majority of theirown instruction was local, butthey’ve also taken classes outsideOhio. One of their instructors in-troduced them to an annualdance camp at Brigham YoungUniversity for all skill levels withteachers who are internationallyaccomplished dancers.“We have attended every camp

since 2007. The experience webring home allows us to sharethe dance moves and the teach-ing styles of these world-classdancers with our students,”Rick said.While typically teaching

classes together, Rick andJudy keep classes casualand fun, with a variety ofmusic styles that inspireyou to get up anddance. Goodmusicmakes youenthusi-asticaboutdancing,the cou-ple said.“Our

lessons aregeared to-ward socialdancing ratherthan competition, sothere is no pressure to per-form,” Judy said.The classes are structured to

improve self-confidence and easebeginners’ minds.“Most people are self-con-

scious and are afraid of lookingsilly when they dance, so somechoose not to dance for fear ofwhat others might think,” Ricksaid. “We use a very systematicapproach to develop your danceskills. We teach the steps, thetiming, the posture and how to

interact with your partner. It’s alot to juggle at first, but a senseof accomplishment begins with

the first lesson, and self-confi-dence contin-ues to growfrom there.”The Bower-

mans have seenconfidence grow in

virtually all of theirstudents. One of thebest examples wasthe Dancing withthe Piqua Starsfundraiserearlier thisyear. Rickand Judytrained ninecouples forthe event.Each couplehad an RJBallroom stu-

dent, the “pro,”and a local personal-

ity, “the star,” who had noprevious ballroom experience.After an average of only 12 to 15hours of training, each coupleperformed for an audience of sev-eral hundred and did a phenome-nal job.“It takes courage to dance in

front of other people. They hadthe confidence because they de-veloped the skills,” Rick said.Everyone can benefit from the

exercise dancing provides.“You can work a little or a lot,

but you will probably discoversome muscles that you didn’tknow you had,” Judy said. “Theymay be a bit sore at first, but youquickly build strength in theright places, and your staminaincreases.”To encourage their students

even further, the Bowermanshost two dances each month. Thepublic is welcome, and dress andatmosphere are casual. Nextmonth’s dances will be Oct. 12and 26, both from 8 to 11 p.m.Cost is $10 per person at thedoor.The cost of group classes is

$30 per person for each session,which includes four classes takenin one month. Private lessons areoffered by appointment for $50per hour.RJBallroom offers a few incen-

tives to make dancing more af-fordable. Those who enroll in abeginner class, get free admissionto the dances held twice eachmonth. First-timers who decidedancing isn’t for them after thefirst class will get a full refund.Also, students in intermediateand advanced classes are wel-come to attend any class theyhave previously taken at no addi-tional cost.To register for a class or for

llama, are beautiful, intel-ligent animals native tothe Andean Mountainrange of South America,particularly Peru, Boliviaand Chile. The UnitedStates first commerciallyimported alpacas in 1984.More than 160,000 ARI(Alpaca Registry Inc.) reg-istered alpacas now live inNorth America.

Alpaca typesTwo types of alpacas

live in the United Statestoday. Although almostphysically identical, whatdistinguishes the twotypes of alpacas is their

fiber. The Huacaya (wa-Ki’-ah) is the more common ofthe two and has a fluffy,extremely fine coat. TheSuri (SUR-ee) is the rarerof the two and has fiberthat is silky and resemblespencil-locks.Adult alpacas stand at

approximately 36 inches atthe withers and generallyweigh between 150 and200 pounds. They do nothave horns, hooves, clawsor incisors. Alpacas arealert, intelligent, curiousand predictable. Social ani-mals that seek companion-ship, they communicatemost commonly by softlyhumming.Alpacas are shorn, with-

out harm, every 12 to 18months. They produce fiveto 10 pounds of luxuriousfiber. Long ago, alpacafiber was reserved for roy-alty. Today, it is purchasedin its raw fleece form byhand-spinners and fiberartists. Knitters buy it asyarn.Fiber like cashmereBecause of its soft tex-

ture, alpaca fiber is some-times compared tocashmere. Making thefiber even more coveted, ithas the luster of silk. Al-paca is just as warm as,yet 1/3 the weight of, wool.It comes in 22 natural col-ors, yet can be dyed anydesired shade.Containing no lanolin,

alpaca fiber is naturallyhypoallergenic. Most peo-ple who are sensitive towool find they can wear al-paca without the itching orirritation they feel fromwool because alpaca fiberis smooth. Additional per-formance characteristicsinclude stretch, water re-pellency and odor reduc-tion. For travelers, clothingmade from alpaca is desir-able because it is wrinkle-resistant.

Alpacas come in 22 nat-ural colors, but they are all“green.” Sensitive to theirenvironment in every re-spect, alpacas have softpadded feet instead ofhooves and can leave eventhe most delicate terrainundamaged. Damage totopsoil decreases long-termsoil fertility and in theprocess, the soil is erodedand weed invasion is en-couraged.

Neat eatersAlpacas prefer to eat

tender grasses, which theydo not pull up by the roots.Lacking upper teeth, al-pacas “cut” the grass withtheir bottom teeth andupper palate. This vegeta-tion cutting encourages theplants’ growth.Because they are modi-

fied ruminants with athree-compartment stom-ach, alpacas convert grassand hay to energy very ef-ficiently, and stop eating

when they are full, furtherpreserving the landscapeon which they live. Alpacasdo not mind eating brush,fallen leaves and other un-desirable vegetation, leav-ing the good stuff forspecies that do not havethe stomach to digest suchroughage.Alpacas’ pellet-like

droppings are PH bal-anced, and an excellentnatural, slow-release, low-odor fertilizer. This richfertilizer is perfect forgrowing fruits and vegeta-bles. Because alpacas con-solidate their feces in oneor two communal spots inthe pasture, it is easy tocollect and compost, andthe spread of parasites iscontrolled.

‘Green’ fiberWhile alpacas are envi-

ronmentally friendly andeven beneficial to the land,what makes them evenmore “green” is the fiber

they produce. No chemicalsare employed either duringfeeding or during the in-dustrial production of al-paca fleece into fiber. Ifdying is desired, only 20percent of a normal dyequantity is required.All fiber from an alpaca

can be used. Even the fiberfrom the lower legs, belly,neck and more is beingused for things such asnatural weed mats to beplaced around trees. Al-paca fiber is biodegrad-able.Alpacas require no in-

secticides, herbicides andfertilizers, which pollutethe groundwater.To find out more about

royal, it’s legal, it’s elegantand it rocks the house,’”Broomhall said.All the stylists had to

perfectly duplicate the up-do on all 22 models whowould walk the runway.“We rocked out all the

He may not have a choice. Thefront office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country’shottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the oneperson Gus would never ask — his daughter, Mickey, an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firmwhose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner.

Home and Away with Dana WolfeAutumn means it’s apple-picking time in Ohio


You know fall is herewhen you drive by theabundance of apple or-chards in our area. Almostall of the fall festivals inour area have some sort ofapple product to offer, butthe best is the apple cider.We Ohioans love cider!There is nothing better

than doing fall yard work,kicking back on the porchwith a tall glass of applecider or, better yet, buildinga small bonfire on the patiowith a warm cup of mulledapple cider and looking atthe beautiful fall moon.Ohio ranks ninth for the

amount of apples grown, sothe farmers are busy pick-ing and getting them readyfor the fall cider.

It takes one bushel ofapples to make three tofour gallons of cider. I enjoythe cider that is a bit moreon the tart side, but manylove the sweet, sweet ciderwith that hint of cinnamon.Hey, let’s not forget the

delicious apple pies thatcome out this time of year;nice and warm with ascoop of ice cream or a nicechunk of cheddar cheese.You have to agree that

nothing says fall in Ohiolike a nice ride through therolling hills with the last ofthe colored leaves justhanging on the trees fortheir last stand before win-ter, or coming across afarmer’s stand with themost perfect red apples allnicely placed in paper bagsready to take home.We had a large apple or-

chard growing up. I can’trecall the name of the ap-ples, but they were verytart and my mom wouldspend hours peeling, chop-ping and cooking to makeher delicious applesauce.She canned some and cutup the rest for apple pies atChristmas.One fall, we all got to-

gether and made an assem-bly line making apple piesfor the freezer. She madethe crusts, and we filledthem with apples, butterand cinnamon. Not onlyhaving the reward of all thepie, but also the stories thatwere told that day made allthat hard work worth it.Mark’s favorite is apple

crisp. I have made it oncefor him and it seems to bevery diabetic friendly, andnow that fall is in the airI’m sure he will be readyfor me to try it again. Iadore dried apples, and

after trying and failing oneyear to do them myself, Ibought a dryer and amgoing to attempt this featagain. I’ll let you know howthat goes. If you have anytips for me on this process,let me know!Now get out and enjoy

these last beautiful falldays!Happy cooking! Contact
