August 2016
Here we are — August already! For many, summer is winding down and thoughts are turning to life beyond water sports and cookouts.

In this, the last of our four-part series celebrating the lake’s 50th anniversary, we are turning our thoughts to what’s next, too. While there’s no crystal ball for us to look into, we’ve been pondering what life will be like at the lake 10, 20, even 30 years from now.

Although summer will soon be winding down soon, there’s no need to cover the boat and stow away the water toys just yet. Fortunately, summer around here lingers well past August, so there’s still plenty of time to enjoy all the lake has to offer.

s a boat cruises slowly near a dock, the passengers wave and yell, “We love your house!” The people relaxing on the dock smile and wave as the boat motors away. “Actually, we get that a lot,” said homeowner Pat Dewar. “What really drew us to this house was that it looks like it blends in so perfectly with the environment,” said Pat’s wife, Bobbie. “And it looks like it’s been here for a long time.” Built 15 years ago, the home was the brainchild of former lake artist Barbara Burlingame and her husband, Steve, who acted as the general contractor. Not only is the exterior quite intriguing, the inside is equally unique. And since the Dewar home is one of eight on this year’s Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour in October, ticket holders will get to see not only the outside — like passing boaters do — but also the inside.

Located on the Blackwater River arm of the lake in the Three Quarter Point neighborhood, the one and a half-acre, wooded park-like property feels well-secluded from neighbors. Large trees on the lake side shade the home from the southern sun and provide privacy from the property’s 340 feet of shoreline and the lake. “We love having our morning coffee outside on the patio swing,” Bobbie said. It’s one of five swings found around the property. One of the ways the Dewars have added their own touches is by installing a new front door; however, many of the artistic architectural features, created by the former owners, remain. “The house looks like something from the Adirondacks, and it reminds us of a place we used to rent at Lake George,” Bobbie said. “We fell in love with it immediately.” A towering, stacked stone fireplace rises up two levels from the living room into a wooden barrel ceiling. The kitchen has a large island with the

cook top artfully situated on a slant and two-toned cabinets in distressed green and oak. Adjacent to the kitchen is a screened-in porch with a fireplace — with what Pat referred to as “our gin and tonic chairs.” The master suite is also on this level, allowing for convenient one-floor living when no guests are enjoying lake hospitality. The view from here is irresistible, with SML’s fabled Cliffs just a few hundred yards across the lake. A gigantic mirror, purchased from the former owners, stands on the first landing of the ascending stairway, which opens the space considerably. Overhead, an unusual glass ball chandelier is one the Burlingames left in place. “It just belongs here,” Bobbie said. “It’s perfect for the space.” The craftsman-style metal stair railing is painted in mottled browns and black. Other mottled paint colors were sponged onto the textured walls in many rooms — another artistic touch from the former owners. The blueish bedroom suite has a mossy-
colored bathroom, and although the twig bedroom is a solid color, the bathroom has mottled colors. Each of these upstairs guest areas has its own private balcony and each includes a swing. A long hallway — Barbara Burlingame’s former

art gallery — is now home to “The Four Seasons of SML,” an original four-panel creation by Kristir Kniffen, a friend of the Dewars’ son. The former art studio, now called “the overflow room,” includes beds and a bathroom for additional guests. Two floors below, the lake level has a family room with TV, pool table and bar. There’s another guest suite on this level that houses a collection of Nancy Drew books, evoking fond childhood memories of reading the adolescent mystery series. “I’ve read and re-read them all,” Bobbie said. An unusual feature is a bathroom, which only opens to the outside, creating handy access for swimmers and also for keeping wet footprints from tracking through the house. The dock, with two boat slips, a sitting area and bar, matches the architecture and color of the house perfectly and features large flowering plants. With its five bedrooms, five full- and two halfbaths, the Dewar home is spacious. But, Bobbie said, “There are little nooks everywhere, so it’s big, but cozy.” The Dewars attended the Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour last year as visitors. “We went on the tour in 2015, and we saw that it was incredibly well-organized, and it benefits such worthwhile causes,” Bobbie said. “And it brings the whole community together. Count us in to help out!”

J
ust about anyone who has paid attention to boating safety and law enforcement on Smith Mountain Lake has heard of Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Sgt. Karl Martin. For nearly all of SML’s 50 years of full-pond history, Martin has been a fixture on and around the lake. “In 2016, I’ll be patrolling my 44th Fourth of July fireworks,” Martin said. “My first patrol on SML was in early March of 1972 when the majority of the boats using the lake were less than 16 feet long, powered by outboard engines of less than 90 HP — my, how things have changed!” That year, Martin logged many hours familiarizing himself with the lake’s 500 miles of shoreline. “Most of the learning was ‘OTJ’ [on the job], the result of daily calls for assistance with disabled boats and lost boaters,”Martin said. “Boating during daylight was a challenge to many, but nothing compared to nighttime. After sunset, everything looks the same — and nothing like it does during the day.” Born in Canada but a resident of Virginia most of his life, Martin is the son of a career military family that called Franklin County home. Though a number of his college courses related to law enforcement work, Martin’s earliest jobs weren’t in that field. Instead, he began with personnel work for a furniture company and then manufacturing at DuPont’s Martinsville plant. “But I had worked on farms as I grew up and yearned to work outdoors,” Martin said. “Employment with Virginia’s DGIF offered that in spades.” While he’s held a number of Department of Game

and Inland Fisheries supervisory positions over the years, Martin has always managed to keep field work part of his agenda. By his count, he has retired three times but said he has been repeatedly drawn back to active law enforcement duty. “The desire to work in the outdoors has shaped my life’s work, and these days I take great satisfaction in working with younger officers who are learning the ropes of law enforcement,” Martin said. “You can pretty much name a job in law enforcement, and I’ve done it. Now I have the chance to pass along some of what I’ve learned.” He’s served as president of the Virginia Game Wardens’ Association and chair of SML Boater Education Committee, which initiated the boater education legislation that was enacted and, he said, “be-
gan saving lives” statewide in 2007. Martin was also instrumental in expanding the state’s “implied consent” legislation to boat operators. “Just like in your car, by driving you consent to having your blood alcohol checked at any time. Implied consent implementation in 1988 made the alcohol and drug laws for the water and the highway synonymous, and has promoted the designated operator concept,” Martin said. “Detection of alcohol and drug-related offenses and reckless boat operation remain primary functions of conservation police officers on the water. The phased-in boater education requirement has been accepted by the public as a tool to make the waters in the commonwealth of Virginia safer for all users, and the positive results are already being recognized.” There are other components that have helped law enforcement make SML safer, too — newer boats, radar, sonar and night vision are just a few examples, Martin said. Pressed to think back, Martin fondly remembers some of the “good old days” around the newly formed Smith Mountain Lake. “Franklin County was known as a rough and tumble place back in the ’60s,” he said. “I fished here beginning in ’65, from a 16-foot aluminum boat with a 25 HP Evinrude, and staying in a tent at Pelican Point Campground. I taught several people to water ski behind that boat.” As more people discovered the lake, life got busier. “Early on, someone got lost most every night. There were only a few markers, and they weren’t very bright, and almost no lights on shore,” Martin said. “I was called out routinely to help find someone who was lost and escort them to safety. Sometimes we spent the night on the lake, waiting for a hint of daylight to show us where we were.”
A need for control
Boating safety was a major concern, then as now. “Back then, a lot of people went out without life jackets — river boaters who were unfamiliar with wide expanses and deep water. There were frequent drownings. We might end up with 50 boats helping drag for a victim,” Martin said. As the lake evolved into a resort area that attracted boaters of all kinds and experience levels, people began to realize some level of control was needed. “We started patrolling in ’72 with a single 17-foot

boat and 90 HP outboard,” he said. “That’s evolved to some of the best equipment in Virgina … including eight boats on SML plus PWCs [personal watercrafts], canoes and kayaks. The norm now is two officers per patrol boat, but that wasn’t always the case. Back in the day, an all-nighter on the water wasn’t uncommon when dense fog or really bad weather set in.” Martin added, “An officer these days goes through two years of training before he’s put on the lake at night. Contrast that to the typical boat owner, who’s free to operate 24/7, in any kind of weather, sometimes with virtually no experience. It’s not a wonder people sometimes find themselves in trouble.”

The vessels people operate have evolved, and law enforcement has had to change as well to keep pace. “Boats have gotten much bigger and more complex,” Martin said. “Our little river has become a resort lake that’s home to thousands of runabouts, large cruisers and fleets of sailboats. Today’s vastly more powerful engines mean that operating too fast for conditions is a common concern, especially at night, and so is alcohol consumption by boat operators.” And the personal watercraft that can be seen buzzing around the lake on any given day? “At first, everyone hated them,” Martin said. “Now, everyone has one.” Martin credits the mandatory Virginia Boater Education training, which he helped create, with dramatically improving safety awareness for operators of personal watercraft and motorboats.
“In the next 50 years, new people with new ideas will come to one of the greatest places on earth to live, work and enjoy a manmade wonder with all the abundant natural resources that surround it.” Karl Martin
“Most operators will adhere to the rules and recommended practices on the water if they know what they are,” he said. “And the boater education classes have imparted that knowledge to thousands of boaters. We see the evidence of the training every day we’re out there, and we absolutely know injuries are being avoided and lives are being saved as a result.” About the time boater education classes began, Martin said DGIF decided a visible presence on the water would be a useful deterrent to reckless operation. Marked police boats patrolled regularly so people on and around the water would be aware there was a law enforcement presence. “There’s no question that seeing a police boat on the water has the same effect as does a marked pa-
trol car on the highway,” Martin said. “People are reminded to make sure they are operating in accordance with the statutes.” As a conservation officer, Martin’s “territory” goes well beyond policing recreational boating. “We’re concerned with boater safety, yes, but also with hunter safety and adherence to regulations. We’re also trained in terrorism response and can be called upon by Homeland Security,” Martin noted. As to SML’s future, Martin said he expects it will continue attracting those who love the outdoors. “In the next 50 years, new people with new ideas will come to one of the greatest places on earth to live, work and enjoy a manmade wonder with all the abundant natural resources that surround it.”

hen airplane pilots shoot the breeze about flying, there’s a sentiment that is commonly heard: “Sure wish I could fly off water!” But here at Smith Mountain Lake, flying from the water doesn’t have to be a pilot’s pipe dream. For sure there’s plenty of water. Now, thanks to Smith Mountain Lake Aviation, pilots have the wherewithal to acquire the skill that flying a seaplane requires. Brant Howell established his business in 2007 using his Cessna 150 and 180 aircraft to teach eager new pilots. Dozens from the area have earned their pilots’ licenses through SML Aviation since, with simulator sessions and training flights conducted from SML Airport as well as airports in Lynchburg and Roanoke. A year ago, Howell moved his entire operation to the lake airport, where the 3,200-foot lighted runway can accommodate most prop-driven, privatelyowned aircraft and even small business jets. About the same time, Howell acquired a 1976 Lake Buccaneer L4-200 amphibian. The sunshine yellow hull-based plane, with its 200 HP turbo-charged engine perched above the wing, is a “complex” aircraft — aviator speak for a plane with retractable landing gear. “Most seaplanes are regular high-winged, noseengine aircraft on which floats have replaced the wheels,” Howell said. “The shoulder-wing Lake Buccaneer, however, has its engine mounted on the CG [center of gravity] and heavy-duty landing gear that fully retracts into its hull. That gives us the flexibility to take off from a runway and land on the lake … or vice versa.” One student doing just that is Moneta resident Chuck Hiltz. He actually taught Howell to fly in 2008, shortly after Hiltz retired to the lake after a 22-

year career in the Marine Corps. “Getting my pilot’s license took six months and cost about $8,000 back then,” Hiltz said. “These days, it is something over $10,000.” A seaplane endorsement, however, is a considerably briefer and less-expensive undertaking. “Nine to 10 hours of flight training time,” Howell said of the licensing requirement. “[It] could be as little as $2,000 for airplane use and instruction.” It may seem like a lot of money to some, but not to Hiltz, who recalled the time he spotted Howell’s Lake Buccaneer in a hanger near the Bedford Landings Bed and Breakfast, adjacent to the lake airport. “The thrill is priceless,” Hiltz said. “I saw Brant’s yellow airplane at the field, signed up for a demo flight and was hooked. It’s a definite adrenaline rush, to swoop low over the water and to land and take off from the water’s surface.”
Seaplanes are allowed to break the Federal Aviation Administration’s minimum 500-feetabove-ground-objects rule over bodies of water. To finalize his seaplane endorsement, Hiltz underwent a verbal exam from a visiting FAAdesignated flight examiner. He also had to demonstrate the seaplane operating proficiency he’d acquired through training with Howell. “The flight lasted over an hour and included several takeoffs and landings from both land and water,” Hiltz said. “I was well-prepared, but nervous just the same. The good news — I passed!” The endorsement allows Hiltz to rent a seaplane and fly it solo or with passengers. Since he trained with retractable-gear aircraft, he’s also now certified to fly a land-based “complex” aircraft. Lakers will continue to see and hear the yellow Lake Buccaneer operating in and above SML throughout the summer. At least four more

“We use all different parts of the lake so as not to become a nuisance to any of our lake neighbors.” Brant Howell
prospective pilots have signed up for seaplane flying lessons, Howell said. Each student will likely have to perform 30 or more water landings and takeoffs during their training. “We use all different parts of the lake, so as not to become a nuisance to any of our lake neighbors,” Howell said. “And when SML is especially busy, we use Leesville Reservoir.” While exciting to watch a seaplane landing or taking off, Howell said he cautions curious boaters to steer away from the operating aircraft. “Under rules of navigation, boats do have the right-of-way,” he said. “But seaplanes are much less maneuverable than the boats are; their line of travel can’t be altered nearly as quickly. So it’s essential that boaters keep well clear of a seaplane’s course when it’s landing, taxiing or taking off.” Even wakes created by boats can be a risk factor in seaplane operation. The Lake Buccaneer sustained 38 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
damage earlier this summer after it struck a wake from a personal watercraft. Jack Phillips, co-owner of Bedford Landings, who recently earned his seaplane endorsement from Vermont-based SeaPlanes R Fun, said visibility also can be an issue. “When a seaplane is starting its takeoff run, there is a significant period of blocked forward visibility because the nose pitches up, like a heavily-loaded boat getting ‘on plane,’” Phillips said. “If a boater steers into the line of travel, we won’t see it until the aircraft gets up on step and begins rapidly accelerating. We can’t stop quickly or turn sharply away.” Anyone can book a flight on Howell’s Lake Buccaneer. The 40-minute flight costs $250 for two people and includes a lake landing and takeoff.

andung Syiamsyah and a fellow Indonesian student sat silently in the back seat of the SUV of their host family. The 30-minute drive was a bit awkward, no one knowing exactly what to say beyond the basic pleasantries. After all, the pairs — teenagers from halfway around the globe who were still learning to master English, and a young married couple living on a small farm in Bedford County — came from different economic, cultural and sociological worlds. Those differences, however, were exactly why each pair chose to be in this situation. The Indonesian boys were taking part in one of Legacy International’s innovative programs, one that sought to instill citizenship, diplomacy and environmental stewardship during a multi-week visit to the United States. Syiamsyah was one of dozens of Indonesians chosen for his leadership skills and background during the summer of 2010. The car ride aside, Syiamsyah and his fellow teenager shed their shyness and opened up to learn about what life is like for a typical American family. They witnessed what kind of work and volunteerism an average American took part in, and they forged a friendship with their host family that lasts even six years later. “I learned from this program … what it means to be a leader,” Syiamsyah said. “And I also got to know a lot about history and culture in America, a lot about the daily lives of the American people.” Legacy International’s programs are all structured differently. The Indonesian program, which took place from 2004 to 2013, included both young people and adults. Currently, the organization is focused largely on the Middle East and North Africa. In many cases, Legacy sets out to engage emerging leaders where leadership is needed most. “As an organization, we’re always trying to work in those parts of the world where the most diplomacy and people-to-people exchanges are needed,” said Mary Helmig, vice president of development for Legacy. The organization is run from its Global Youth Village, a facility in an isolated area of Bedford County, north of Huddleston, where students from some programs gather for fellowship activities before heading back to their home countries.

Participants are funneled to Legacy’s program after being vetted by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs or by partner agencies that Legacy has in place around the world. It’s a competitive process that includes applications and interviews. In many cases, the participants are coming from nations that are moving toward democracy or emerging from conflict.

Jordan, Palestinian territories, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia — who are being exposed to careers in technology while learning coding skills. Additionally, there is a group of Saudi Arabian university students who arrived to study volunteerism and entrepreneurship. While spending time at Virginia Tech and elsewhere was part of the plan for both groups of participants, the host families were integral to the programs’ successes. “The home-stay component in any of the programs is one of the most important components because it gives international visitors a chance, first-hand, to see how families live, what kind of dynamic there is in the families and the communities where they live, and how engaged those families are in civil society,” Helmig said. 44 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
Back in 2010, Syiamsyah was exposed to a range of experiences that were new to him: watching a baseball game, getting up close to horses and seeing the Natural Bridge Caverns, among others. Culturally, Indonesians can be nervous around domesticated dogs, and Syiamsyah’s host family had five of them. By the end of his stay, the teenager was doling out hugs to the animals. Now, 22 years old, Syiamsyah lives in CilegonBanten, Indonesia, and has been studying performance art at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta. Most recently, he was the director for a theater show that told the story of the persecution of farmers in his region of Banten. He said he is still friends with many of the students he came to the U.S. with and would enthusiastically recommend the program to anyone who may be interested. Likewise, host families often praise the opportunities that they are given, with many offering to open their doors again. Host families, Helmig said, “often express their gratefulness for being a part of a life-changing experience for one of these visitors. You see this transformation happen in front of you as a host family. It’s exciting to be a part of that.”

Grow Native Indigenous shrubs can create drama in the garden

lowering shrubs are a great way to get a lot of bang for your buck in an easy-care landscape. Landscape designer and horticulturist Peg Gorman of Mountain View Shores in Huddleston had some recommendations for exciting native shrubs that provide interest in more than one season. Gorman, who is owner of Gorman Gardens LLC, a design consultation firm, is passionate about all plants, saying, “My favorite is the one I just saw.” Before mentioning any plants, Gorman emphasized that it is vital to put the right plant in the right place. If a plant likes lots of water, it will not thrive on a dry ridge; sun-loving plants will languish in the shade, and plants that like acidic soil (common in our oak forests), will not do well in an alkaline environment. So her first advice is to know the conditions of the spot you have in mind for any plant, and select one that is well-suited to that place. Gorman also stresses the importance of knowing the projected mature size of any tree or shrub, and choose one that will still fit into its space when fully grown. Any low-maintenance benefits disappear if you have to continually prune back a mature shrub to fit its location.
LEFT. Pink-flowering Clethra “Ruby Spice” is valued for its fragrant rose-pink flowers in late summer. The shrub’s botanical name comes from the Greek klethra, the name for alder, referring to their similar leaves. TOP AND MIDDLE. American beautyberry has brightly hued autumn fruit and delicate spring flowers. The Greek genus name Callicarpa means callos, “beauty” and carpos “fruit.” RIGHT. Itea virginica “Henry’s Garnet” fall foliage persists for weeks, allowing the maroon, yellow and orange tones to reveal themselves over time.

Here are some of PeG Gorman’s favorites.
Fotherilla’s pure white flowers brighten spring gardens with their sweet, vaguely honey like scent. Fothergilla belongs to the witch hazel family, Hamamelidaceae. Its common name, witch-alder is encountered in literature, but is rarely used in everyday parlance.
Fothergilla gardenii and F. major Both the dwarf F. gardenii and the larger F. major are multi-season stars. In the spring both species produce dense terminal bottlebrush-like white flower spikes. In summer the plant is a pleasant, green-leaf backdrop, then in fall the leaves, as described by Michael Dirr in his seminal book, “Dirr’s Encyclopedia of Trees & Shrubs,” “turn shades of fluorescent yellow, orange, and red…with all colors present in the same leaf.” The dwarf species typically grows 2-feet to 3-feet, while the larger species grows from 6-feet to 10-feet and almost as wide. Both will perform best, “with acid, moist, organic-laden, well-drained soils. Plants flower and color best in full sun but respond quite nicely to half shade,” according to Dirr. The dwarf species will tolerate damp soils, a useful trait in a low-lying, damp spot in the garden. In addition to the two species, consider growing the Mount Airy hybrid. It is vigorous with large flowers and consistent foliage color even under lessthan-ideal growing conditions. All Fothergilla are pest- and disease-free. What’s not to like about that? 50 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
itea virginica (virginia sweetspire) This native deciduous shrub is another multiseason wonder. In spring, clusters of fragrant, tiny white flowers blossom on cylindrical, drooping, 3-inch-to-6-inch racemes. In summer, the leaves are a lustrous dark green. In autumn, the foliage turns to shades of yellow-orange, red-purple and crimson. This colorful display can persist into December in mild years. The species grows 3-feet to 5-feet. Excellent hybrids include Henry’s Garnet, which grows 4-feet to 5-feet and produces 6-inch long inflorescences and brilliant red-purple foliage in fall. Little Henry is smaller, usually 2-feet to 4-feet, although it can outgrow its name, reaching as tall as 6 feet. Typically the flowers are 3-inches to 4-inches. A versatile plant, Itea prefers damp locations, but will do well in dry areas. It thrives in heavy shade and full sun and has no serious pest or disease problems, although the native species suckers and may spread aggressively.
Itea virginica’s sweet-scented, pendulous racemes cover the shrub with blossoms in May, attracting butterflies. Come fall, the deerresistant foliage turns a blaze of red hues, outshining the invasive burning bush. For best flowering and autumn color, plant where it will get at least 6 hours of sun a day.

TOP. Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a deciduous holly that produces a profusion of bright red berries in late fall and winter. The selection ‘Winter Red’ shown here produces a heavy crop of large, bright red, long-lasting fruits. Ilex ‘Southern Gentlemen’ is the recommended pollinator for this female plant. RIGHT. Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) provides garden drama in bleak winter.
CALLICARPA AMERICANA (AMERICAN BEAUTYBERRY) Beautyberry lives up to its name. In fall, the plant is a showstopper with its display of violet-magentacolored berries, which grow in tight clusters along each stem. Spring brings a pretty froth of lavender flower clusters growing from the axils of the leaves. It is those delicate flowers that will develop into the amazing berries. The native species (americana) is coarse-textured with its large leaves and grows 4-feet to 8-feet. They look spectacular massed in sunny to partly shaded areas. Another beautyberry species that is excellent in Smith Mountain Lake gardens is dichotoma, which hails from China and Japan. A more refined plant than American beautyberry, it has smaller leaves and grows in a lovely arching habit reaching 3-feet to 6-feet with a slightly wider spread. If it gets rangy, cut it down to 6-inches to 12-inches from the ground in late winter and fertilize. It will quickly re-grow, bearing flowers and fruit the same year. Plant three or five in a drift for an eye-catching presentation.
CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA (SUMMERSWEET) The sweet floral fragrance of summersweet’s white flower spires can perfume an entire garden. Gorman 52 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
recommends planting it near a seating area where you can enjoy the scent. Each bloom persists for 4 to 6 weeks, giving a summer-long display. Come fall, you’re treated to rich, golden yellow foliage. The suckering shrub will create its own colony, growing 3-feet to 8-feet with variable spread. Compact varieties, such as Nana and Hummingbird, grow only 2 ½ to 3 ½ feet. You’ll also find pink-flowering hybrids. A versatile plant, it will take full sun to relative heavy shade. It likes moist, well-drained, acidic soil.
ILEX VERTICILLATA (WINTERBERRY) For garden drama in the bleak mid-winter, winterberry is your answer. This deciduous holly is a fine-textured shrub with dark green leaves 1½-inches to 3-inches that develop a yellow or purple-tinge in

fall. But it is the berries that wow. Clusters of the small, scarlet berries take on their color in September and persist with some hybrids, such as Winter Red, into March or April, although December or January is more typical for most varieties. It is essential to have a male plant for pollination, which is necessary for the plant to produce berries. When you choose the cultivar you want, ask for the appropriate male variety for successful pollination. For example, Berry Nice needs Mr. Poppins; Jim Dandy is a compact male pollinator for all northern types. Generally one male winterberry will be sufficient for pollinating 6 to 10 female plants. Flowers appear on new growth, so prune to shape in early spring just before new growth appears.

or nearly three decades, Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir has been helping kids as young as 7 find their voices. Kimberly Ruse Davidson is the choir’s founding director and administrator, who has watched countless kids not only grow physically but also mature into young adulthood. “Next year will be my 30th year. I love it. I’ve loved it since 1987,” Davidson said. “It builds character, and they learn life skills. It’s so honorable and beautiful to see.” Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir consists of four choirs — the A choir (or appoggiatura) is for kids ages 7 to 9, and teaches tone, breathing and basic music reading, according to the choir’s website. The B (bridge) and B+ (advanced bridge) choirs help kids continue to progress and improve their vocal and music reading skills for several years before moving on to the C (concert) choir. Amari Patterson of Hardy comes from a family of singers, including members of the Spiritual Seven Gospel Group, according to her mother, Latishia. “My parents used to sing in a quartet. My husband’s grandfather sang in a quartet,” she said. “It’s in the genes.” Latishia discovered the choir when Amari — now 14 and a rising ninth grader at Franklin County High School — was a student at Windy Gap Elementary. It’s been a good fit, Latishia said. “She’s gotten to do so many great things with the choir.” In addition to regular practice, kids in each of the choirs participate in annual Christmas and spring 60 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
concerts and several music festivals. Each year, the A, B and B+ choirs travel to Williamsburg to compete in the annual Music in the Parks Festival. “We’ve usually placed really good,” Latishia said of the competitions. This year was Amari’s first as a member of the concert choir, the most advanced of the three choirs. “Students are stretched to reach their highest potential and learn how to perfect each detail of the music to make each song into a masterpiece,” the website said. That dedication has taken the concert choir on many musical journeys. Earlier this year, the group was one of six to perform as part of the National Children’s Chorus Festival at Carnegie Hall in New York City. They were also one of three choirs to perform solo at the event. The choir performed an original piece, “My Great Love,” written by Davidson’s daughter, Kirsti. “It’s about God’s great love for us,” Davidson said. “It is definitely written from the heart.” Other pieces included a Spanish melody that Davidson described as “rhythmically challenging,” and “Adiemus,” a song by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins that was featured in a Delta Airlines commercial. “It’s really kind of tribal sounding,” Davidson said. “The language that we sing is nobody’s language.” To prepare for the performance, the choir practiced regularly. “Practice is very hard core,” Amari said. Of Davidson, she added, “We have to be very conscious of what she’s doing and how she wants us to learn. She

Kimberly Ruse Davidson, Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir’s founding director and administrator, stands in front of the marquee at Carnegie Hall. This is Davidson’s fourth trip with the concert choir to the New York City landmark.
just puts in a lot of effort to be there.” Those many hours of practice paid off for the 72 choristers who made the trip to New York, Davidson said. “It was a beautiful ‘forever moment’ to sing in Carnegie Hall,” she said. “The RVCC sang artistically and with fantastic definition of dynamics and musical nuances. I’m so proud!” Of singing at an iconic landmark like Carnegie Hall, 17-year-old Victoria Alexander of Wirtz said she was nervous but excited, too. “The acoustics were amazing,” said Victoria, a rising senior at Franklin County High School, who has sung with the choir for three years. “The whole experience with the festival itself was really good for me. It was so much fun and a blast to meet different people and to have all different choirs come together, kind of like a musical family.” Victoria’s mother, Mae, and other family members also made the trip to see her perform. “The experience from the parents’ perspective was just amazing,” Mae said. “The sound was beautiful.” Fellow concert choir member, Alexa BeMent, 16, described the audience’s applause following the choir’s solo performance. “I could feel how thunderous and roaring it was,” she said. “It made me feel really, really good.” Alexa joined the B+ choir in March 2015, just months after she and her family had moved to Union Hall from Indiana. Before the move, Alexa, now a rising junior at Franklin County High School, had had no formal
training, other than singing for two years in her middle school choir and having been accepted to sing in the Indiana All-State Honor Choir in eighth grade. In the time Alexa has sung with the Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir, Alexa’s mother, Cindy, said she’s watched all the choristers grow and mature, which she attributed to Davidson’s leadership. “Kim expects her choristers to work hard,” Cindy said. “She pushes them, but her aim is to expand their talents, their minds and their lives by giving them incredible opportunities to express themselves through the universal language of music, and to do it on a global stage.” Other highlights from the June trip to the Big Apple included attending the Broadway musical “Aladdin,” shopping and singing “Here Comes the Sun” — flash-mob style — on the city streets around Rockefeller Center and Times Square, Victoria said. Each August, the choir hosts newcomer auditions to recruit boys and girls, ages 7 to 12, to join the chorus. This year, auditions were held Aug. 1 at DuPont Chapel at Hollins University in Roanoke. The next performance by the concert choir will be with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra at Salem Civic Center on Dec. 2. The entire choir will perform two Christmas concerts at Shaftman Performance Hall at Jefferson Center in Roanoke on Dec. 11.

Will there ever be

Lake history | one of a kind
F
ifty years ago, Appalachian Power Company built the massive Smith Mountain Dam, a double curvature concrete arch dam measuring 816 feet from end to end and 245 feet high. With Leesville Dam, it creates a pump-storage system that provides clean and renewable energy to a mid-Atlantic grid stretching from Virginia to Michigan, as well as water-based fun for thousands of residents and visitors. But could such a project be done again? Will there be another Smith Mountain Lake? It comes down to cost, practicality and storage of power production, said Larry Jackson, external affairs manager for Appalachian Power. One exhibit at the Joseph H. Vipperman Visitors Center at Smith Mountain Dam tells the story of how power is generated using water from Leesville and Smith Mountain lakes.
A mighty dAm Smith Mountain Dam’s statistics are impressive. It holds back a 20,000-acre lake, with more than 500 miles of shoreline. It houses five turbine/generator units that can produce more than 605 megawatts of power. Three of those turbines can also push water back to Smith Mountain Lake from Leesville Lake downstream at a rate of about 7 million gallons per minute. The lake’s water can be used, and reused, to
create hydroelectric power. And that means that this paradise for fishing, boating, waterskiing and relaxing is also a gigantic battery, Jackson said, efficient for storing and reusing the water that is a way of creating hydroelectric power. Its pump-storage ability allows it to provide electricity with only a few minutes’ notice when needed to back up other forms of energy production. But it is efficient only because it already exists.
hefty price tAg The cost of building Smith Mountain and Leesville dams a half century ago was around $90 million, Jackson pointed out. Today that cost would be much higher, making it difficult to recover a profit from a new hydroelectric facility. “I can tell you it is not even on the (Appalachian Power) radar screen,” he said. Fifty years ago, the area around Smith Mountain seemed more remote and less populated than it is now. “There wasn’t so much out here then,” Jackson said. “This lake covers 20,000 acres.

LAKE HISTORY | ONE OF A KIND through, but without a lot of population? Is that location out there anywhere?” There was also enough water available to fill a large lake, Jackson added, pointing out that the Roanoke River alone would not have been sufficient. The Blackwater River and large tributaries were also necessary. And the cost of building a dam is not all financial, Jackson said. “There is an enormous environmental impact. Everything we humans do has an impact. Any type of energy has its issues,” he said. With wind and solar energy, there is the problem of storing the energy created when the sun is shining and the wind blowing, he noted. “There is the battery issue. How do you store the energy? If you solve the battery issue, you’ve solved the world’s power problem,” Jackson said. While Smith Mountain is impressive, it’s not nearly as large as Dominion Virginia Power’s Bath County Pumped Storage Station, considered the largest battery in the world. With surface areas of only 265 acres and 555 acres in its upper and lower reservoirs, the Bath County station generates more electricity than Hoover Dam, said Dan Genest of Dominion Virginia Power. The Bath County facility, which went into operation in 1985, can generate more than 3,000 megawatts of electricity, five times SML’s output.
That is because of the drop between the two reservoirs, Genest said. Water collected in the lower reservoir after power generation is pumped back more than a mile in distance and nearly 1,200 feet in elevation to the upper reservoir. Like Smith Mountain Lake, the used water is pumped back when demand for energy is lowest, usually at night. But unlike SML, the Bath County reservoirs cannot be used for recreation. The water level in the upper reservoir fluctuates as much as 106 feet during power generation. Smith Mountain Lake’s power pool, or fluctuation, is limited to 2 feet, enough to cause a 13-foot fluctuation in Leesville Lake. Don Kelso, an aquatic ecologist and retired professor at George Mason University, is currently working on an ecological history of Smith Mountain Lake. He thinks any possible future pump-storage construction would be more on the plan of the Bath County reservoirs. “If they were to build now, they would build a (smaller) reservoir at the top of a hill, where it would have much less environmental impact,” Kelso said. Like Jackson, Dominion’s Genest said that his company has no plans to build any more pump-storage facilities. He did point out, though, that similar facilities are under construction in other places around the world. Four pump-storage stations, each with anticipated production of more than 1,000 megawatts, are LAKER FILE

Lake history | one of a kind being built in China. The Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station, with a projected construction cost of nearly $2 billion, will generate more power than the Bath County facility, Genest said. Pump-storage facilities are also under construction in Ukraine, Japan, India, Switzerland and Indonesia.
Weighing the impact Larry Iceman, former chair and current board member of the Smith Mountain Lake Association, does not see another Smith Mountain Lake in the future. “It becomes very, very complicated,” Iceman said. “One could say, when you are looking to reduce the carbon footprint, hydroelectric power is a good way to go. But it is interesting that it is only cost effective because they can pump back at night when electricity is cheaper.” Iceman said building another lake like Smith Mountain in the United States would be difficult to justify, because of both environmental and human LAKER fILE
considerations. “I don’t know that we could replicate anything like this anywhere in the United States. Mainly where the gorge and other attributes exist, it’s been done. And you are flooding land that often has historic significance,” he said. The answer to the question — will there be another Smith Mountain Lake — depends on how it is asked. Could power companies build similar pumpstorage facilities? Yes, and in several countries such power stations are under construction. Would a large lake be built again in Virginia? Not likely. Neither Appalachian Power nor Dominion Virginia Power has plans for new pump-storage facilities. The expense of constructing such a facility is far greater than it was 50 years ago, which would make it difficult to recover costs and turn a profit. And the environmental impact and the effect of relocating people living in the area are more important considerations today than they were years ago. Something else comes to mind, Iceman pointed out. Although the water quality of all lakes, manmade or natural, degrades over time, Iceman said the quality of SML’s water is good, and has been stable for the last 10 years. “I think it is a tribute to the care all the stakeholders and the residents have taken to protect the lake and the watershed,” he said. “I don’t know where we could replicate anything like this, anywhere in the United States. We should all be thankful for the beautiful high quality water we have. We should be very proud of it.” LAKER fILE

elcome to Smith Mountain Lake Virginia circa 2036. This small lake area has grown tremendously over the last 20 years and was one of the fastest growing areas in the commonwealth of Virginia in the early
2000s. Many of the older folks in the area can still remember the great slowdown in growth caused by the 2008 financial collapse. It wasn’t until the summer of 2016 that the lake area really started to turn a corner, which also happened to correspond to the lake’s 50th anniversary. The expansion of Smith Mountain Lake’s population parallels the growth of the commercial hub known as Westlake. This unincorporated township has been the largest driver of business development in Franklin County. Quick access to natural recreation, a highspeed fiber network and the addition of services to handle a growing population have made this the destination for many technology-related businesses throughout southwest Virginia. With its pro-business tax structure and natural assets, the Westlake area has proven that new technology allows folks to work in areas that would have normally been unfeasible. Since 2020, the lake area has added numerous amenities for the local community. This includes a community center in Westlake, extensive medical commitments from Carilion Clinic, additional free activities for the lake community and private investment in commercial and residential development. This truly is a place that creates harmony within the business community, private citizens and the local government. With all of this development and population growth, most would assume that the lake area has lost some of its original charm. That couldn’t be further from the truth, as they have managed to walk SMITHMOUNTAINLAKE.COM

the tightrope of increased growth without losing the small town appeal. It is not uncommon to see a man in a suit walk out of the local Subway, followed by sandal-wearing vacationers. There is a sort of poetry in the combination of seeing one person going to work and another traveling just as far to enjoy this beautiful lake. It wouldn’t be an article about Smith Mountain Lake without touching on the natural beauty of this amazing place. Nestled within gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, American Electric Power chose to build a hydroelectric dam in the 1950s. They could have never known the impact that activity would have on
the future growth of this area. The lake seems to be a sparkling jewel surrounded by the beautiful mountains that seem to kiss the very waves that are enjoyed by the tourists and locals alike. The slogan for Smith Mountain Lake is simply “The Jewel of the Blue Ridge.” When you are enjoying the lake from your boat, dock or simply one of the numerous parks that dot the area, you will feel as though the mountains are hugging this “jewel” like a protective mother over its only child. If seeing is believing, then you have to see this lake to understand what has made this one of the most beautiful communities on the east coast.

as long as is practical. None of us wish to give up our independence or move from our home. It is my desire to change the dialogue with respect to a “loss� of everything we hold near and dear as we grow older. It is a time to celebrate and enjoy all that we have worked for, to turn over things that have become a bit more challenging. The future of our seniors/retirees can be brighter with support and the ability to stay in your community! As I continue to work on the governmental side in various areas, I understand that we must continue to solidify our future in the SML region. Having worked for two years on the Westlake/ Hales Ford land use plan, which maps how we wish our land to be developed and/or maintained for our future, it is critical that we work to be economically competitive with other regions in the commonwealth. An evolving project, the Smith Mountain Lake Center has the potential of being that second game-changer. This project will hopefully accommodate an educational center facilitated by partnerships with area colleges, including lifelong learning, the SML Regional Chamber of Commerce and Welcome Center, Westlake Library, meeting spaces for our citizens and hobbyists and a large multi-purpose area for events, concerts, trade shows, etc. This project recognizes the needs that exist in our community. This project represents the desire our retirees/seniors have to be engaged and stimulated in areas of interest and opportunities to promote the education of our youth. I conclude that our future is bright. It is bright due to the extraordinary opportunities that exist to support our economy, the lake, our citizens and, most notably, all of the individuals who volunteer their time and expertise to create a sense of community for all of us. As we think about where we will be in 25 years, I sincerely believe we will see a thriving local economy, an interconnected community with walking trails and parks, a very healthy lake and citizens that live and move here knowing that we have qualitative services, excellent quality of life and dedicated plans for protecting all we value.

It is Tuesday at the center, also known as Free Ice Cream Day. Homestead Creamery’s truck is set up in the parking lot and the line for ice cream is not too long. Susan sees a good friend and chats with her while the kids get their cones. “Time to go,” she says, and they all pile into her new driver-less car. “They must have been thinking about moms with kids when they invented these things,“ she muses. Susan’s cell phone rings just as they are pulling out of the parking lot. “Hi Mom,” she answers. “I checked with Paul, and we can all come over for dinner. I’ll run to Kroger and pick up some fried chicken.” Susan always likes getting together with her parents, who moved to The Farm a year ago from South Carolina.

And, there was the lake center — a hub for the community, where people could learn all kinds of new things, enjoy events and take part in volunteer organizations. “The center really has brought our community together,” Susan thinks. “People from the entire area finally have a place to gather and grow together.” And with that, Susan pulls into the driveway, thinking about how wonderful it is to live at Smith Mountain Lake. “Life is good,” she softly says to herself, as the kids run to the front door.

Lake history | on the horizon
10 Looking forward
years
By Jim morrison | Photo
86 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
By
Jen ChaConas, JollyJen PhotograPhy
Jim Morrison is retired from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He is active in his church, library, writing activities and veterans’ affairs. He served on the Franklin County Library Board and now chairs the Franklin County Library Foundation and Westlake Library Capital Campaign Committee. He helped found and lead the Lake Writers, and is the author of the WWII history and drama “Bedford Goes to War,” and historical novel “Class of 1940.”
I
Jim Morrison and his wife, Edie, have lived at the lake for 20 years.
n the 20 years that my wife, Edie, and I have lived at the lake we’ve seen many changes. If fortunate to be around for another 10, I’m sure we’ll see many more changes but also much continuity. For the activities that one or both of us are involved in — our church, libraries and book clubs, the Lake Writers and Smith Mountain Arts Council, sports such as tennis, and veterans groups — the changes should be mostly for the better. Our church, Trinity Ecumenical Parish, plays a large role in our lives. Trinity, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, has grown in the nearly 20 years we’ve been members — from 200 parishioners to some 800, with about 365 now attending Sunday worship services. The number of parishioners should continue to grow. Many will continue to be seniors who move to the lake for retirement, but some will move away to be closer to their children. The church, however, has strong family, child and youth ministry programs, and I expect the church will see more young families participate. Parishioners like to be active in ministry, and the 60-some ministry teams and small groups that serve the parish, the community and individual needs, will likely continue to grow. Reading is a favorite pastime at the lake. Twenty years ago, the lake community had a small, oneroom library in Moneta. With the building of the Moneta/SML Library in 1999 and establishment of Westlake Library in 2008, these branch libraries, with their books, magazines and newspapers, videos, computers and meeting facilities, have become community hubs. Each now has its own friends group, and membership should continue to grow. The Moneta/SML Library, at 10,000 square feet, seems adequately sized. The Westlake Library, with SMITHMOUNTAINLAKE.COM

Pickleball, which requires less running, appears to be a hot, new sport. A public park in the Westlake area, with sports fields and courts, is needed.
6,500 square feet, needs additional space. A nearterm solution may be to find space where Westlake Library is now located, but over the longer term the best solution may be to build a new, larger Westlake Library — either as part of a multi-purpose community center or as a separate, stand-alone building with 10,000 to 15,000 square feet. Opening Westlake Library more than 42 hours a week, including on Mondays, is also a goal of many of us library supporters. Some 20 book clubs are active in the area, and I anticipate that another five to 10 book clubs will emerge in the next decade. Both libraries encourage book clubs by making available kits with 10 copies of a book that may appeal to clubs. The Smith Mountain Arts Council should continue to blossom. SMAC has several member organizations, and the number of affiliates has grown to nearly 20. In recent years the number and quality of SMAC events seem to have increased significantly. This year’s events may be special because of efforts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the lake, but SMAC can be expected to continue to excel in entertaining the community and supporting the arts. The Lake Writers, who are a part of SMAC, have, in their 16 years of existence, welcomed to their meetings more than 200 people interested in writing. With a core group of 15 to 20 writers, the Lake Writers have now produced three anthologies and encouraged and assisted at least 27 individual writers in writing and getting books published. Writers who have participated in the Lake Writers have more than 80 published books to their credit. In addition to continuing to sponsor writing contests and classes, presentations by guest authors, and Lake Writers’ readings and comedy cafes, members will likely produce many more books and, perhaps another anthology or two, in the future. Many lake residents like to exercise and play sports. There are now two YMCAs, three parks and other exercise facilities in the area. In addition to the many golfers who play at the four local courses, there are probably 60 or more of us men and women tennis players in the area, and we are continuing to play as we age. One tennis player is in his 90s and another is in his mid-80s — he plays on two replaced knees. 88 August 2016 | SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER
Pickleball, which requires less running, appears to be a hot, new sport. A public park in the Westlake area, with sports fields and courts, is needed. In addition to the long-established American Legion posts in Bedford and Rocky Mount, in the recent past a Legion post and a Disabled American Veterans post have been established at the lake. With a smaller military and an aging pool of veterans, the number of veterans in the area is likely to shrink. Some veterans’ events now honor both veterans and local first-responders. Changes are bound to come to the lake area over the next decade. With our active community, we can help influence the change to the better, while enjoying the ride. HUONg fRALIN
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports being played at the lake, Morrison says.

ugust 2066. A round-up of this week’s top news stories. At a press conference in the White House Rose Garden this week, President Malia Obama announced that the high-powered storm that crippled communications with the Mars colony did little to no structural damage to the thriving outpost. All plans remain “go” for the next supply mission to Mars this coming November, which will include two physicists from the University of Virginia. The sweltering temperatures across the U.S. continued this summer’s trend of being the hottest on record. Weather forecasts are calling for temperatures to peak above 120 degrees in most areas again next week, including the mid-Atlantic region. These highs, though not nearly as sweltering as last week’s record-topping 128 degrees, still provide for a doozie of a sunshiny August. Don’t forget your SPF 200 sunblock, flameretardant protection coat and full head-wrap eye protection goggles as you venture out for some summertime fun. Seventy-two year old rock legend Justin Bieber thrilled fans with an unexpected announcement of a 10-city minitour, to be sponsored by AARP. Rock and roll’s reclusive bad boy just released his 98th album entitled “Ain’t Too Old to Be Really Childish.” College football season is just around the corner and the Virginia Tech Hokies look to once again be in the hunt for a national

championship. Expectations are high for VT’s starting quarterback Elizabeth Strongarm, fresh off last year’s Heisman trophy win. Strongarm is just the second female athlete to have won the Heisman. She followed in the footsteps of Samantha Dalferes, granddaughter of SML author and resident Kimberly Dalferes (who celebrates her 103rd birthday this month). Football fans will recall that Samantha Dalferes won the Heisman back in 2041 when she led Florida State to its back-to-back national college football championships. In local news, a time capsule buried in 2016 to commemorate SML’s 50th anniversary was opened yesterday at SML’s Gardner Community Center. Interesting and unique artifacts entombed within the capsule included a can of Dam Lager from the Sunken City Brewing Company, the March 2016 issue of Smith Mountain Laker Magazine, cards from the winning hand of the 2016 SML Poker Run, a menu from Waller’s Bar & Grill, and a copy of “The Last Mile” by the late New York Times bestselling author and SML resident David Baldacci. The Virginia Department of Transportation announced plans for the widening of the HOV lanes at the Westlake overpass as part of its 10-year traffic improvement plan. With the tripling of the SML population since 2016, traffic congestion has been a top concern for local residents and government officials. Finally, SML local dining haven Carl’s Place surprised customers by making the first change to its menu in more than 50 years. In celebration of SML’s 100th anniversary and with a hat-tip toward current dining trends, Carl’s has added a gluten-free, fatfree, low sodium, non-GMO, tofu burger to its menu. Available for a limited time only, of course. Kimberly Dalferes is the author of “I Was In Love With a Short Man Once” and “Magic Fishing Panties.” Her humor blog, “The Middle-Aged Cheap Seats,” is online at kimdalferes.com.
Cancer screenings save lives
You wouldn’t skip an oil change or neglect gutters before a storm. Routine maintenance makes a difference with your health too. The best defense against cancer is early detection. Routine cancer screenings catch the disease in its earliest and most treatable stages. Technological advancements allow you to be proactive with your healthcare. From three-dimensional mammography to detect breast cancer to low-dose CT scans to find lung cancer, the tools available make screenings effective.
Centra offers screenings in Bedford, Farmville, Gretna and Danville for these cancers: Breast | Colon | Gynecological | Lung | Prostate If cancer is detected, a team of oncology experts at Centra Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Center carefully examine each case and develop a personal treatment plan with leading-edge specialty care. Routine cancer screenings save lives. Make your appointment today.
