any native spring wildflowers that we enjoy seeing in the woods and meadows adapt well to our gardens. In addition to their fresh, delicate beauty, many have fascinating survival techniques. Some are edible, and others have medicinal properties. Here are three that are good candidates to grow in captivity.
Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) Named for the Colonial botanist John Clayton, spring beauty grows in moist woods and clearings, although it adapts to a range of habitats, including lawns, city parks, forests, roadsides, wetlands, bluffs and ravines. It grows in self-seeded colonies, reaching 3 inches to 6 inches in height. The lovely, little blooms are white, red or pink. The leaves continue to grow after the plant blooms, and may reach close to a foot tall before they

disappear in late spring. Layer spring beauty corms with other woodland plants that appear later in the season, which can give a successive display of interest. Spring beauty knows a thing or two about survival. From midmorning until midafternoon on bright days when pollinators are on the wing, it suns itself, opening its petals. When the sky darkens, the plant makes a defensive move, turning its head to face downward and closing the flowers. Pollinators are taking cover, and the spring beauty doesn’t want wind and rain to threaten its precious pollen. To be attractive to the bees and flies that pollinate spring beauties, the pink or white flowers have a sweet fragrance and dark pink stripes that guide them to the nectar at the base of each of the five petals. Once fertilized, the flowers produce a capsule. Inside the capsule, seeds ripen quickly. When they’re ready, the capsule explodes so the shiny black seeds are spread widely.

Trout lily (Erythronium americanum)
Ants also get involved in distributing the seeds. The ants are attracted to the lipid-rich elaiosomes (Greek élaion “oil” and sóma “body”), fleshy structures that are attached to the spring beauty seeds. The ants carry off the seeds to eat the coating before disposing them in their waste site, where the seed germinates. American Indians and early settlers prized spring beauty corms for their crisp, mild taste, similar to that of a raw potato or water chestnut, which explains the colonists’ whimsical nickname, “fairy spud.” The leaves are edible as well, and are a nice addition to salads. Spring beauties look best in massed clumps. For something different, naturalize them in lawns in the same manner as spring crocus.

If you went on a scavenger hunt and you were asked to bring back a trout lily, a fawn lily, a dogtooth violet, an adder’s tongue, a serpent’s tongue and a rattlesnake violet, how many plants would you have to find? Answer: one. Each common name refers to an aspect of the trout lily: the two spotted leaves look like the speckled back of a brook trout to some and like a fawn’s upright ears to others. The corm or bulb resembles a dog’s incisor

teeth, and in the morning before the petals have fully unfolded, the flower with its protruding pistil looks like a snake’s open mouth. Trout lilies thrive in deciduous forests in rich, acidic, moist soil. The bulbs are available at several online nurseries. While they may take four to seven years to flower after planting, the speckled foliage is attractive enough while you wait. The mature plants typically are 3 inches to 6 inches tall and 3 inches to 6 inches wide. Like spring beauty, trout lily is one of the many spring ephemeral plants that disappear underground in late spring, going dormant for the rest of the year. These plants are not just a pretty face.

They also cooked the leaves into a mash to make a poultice to draw out splinters, reduce external swelling and help heal skin ulcers. Modern scientific research has demonstrated that trout lily poultice softens the skin. The roots also may help catch fish: it is said that Cherokee Indians chewed the bulb and then spat it into the water to lure fish to bite.

rich elaiosome. The ants carry the seed to their nest and feed the elaiosome to their larvae. They discard the stripped seed in their nutrient-rich waste pile. This symbiotic relationship benefits the ants, which get a food source, and the plant because the seed is dispersed, protected from rodents and placed where it has a good chance of germinating. In the wild, you can find huge colonies of trout lilies dotting the forest floor with splashes of gold. The larger fields are reputed to be as old as 300 years. The plants spread by underground runners and, in fact, reproduce more by spreading than by seeds since it takes such a long time for a bulb to be mature enough to flower. Consider growing Erythronium ‘Pagoda’, a vigorous cross between the West Coast native, E. tuolumnense and E. revolutum.
Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginiana) In the 18th century, Virginia bluebells were Americans’ favorite wildflower. Thomas Jefferson grew Virginia bluebells in his garden at Monticello, inspiring 18th century garden writers to call them “Jefferson’s blue funnel flowers.” Other 18th century names for the plant were Virginia or mountain cowslip and Roanoke bells. Today, Virginia bluebells are still one of our most desirable, native perennial flowers for the home gar-
den. They are easy to grow in most shady gardens, adding a pretty splash of pink buds and blue flowers in midspring. The blue flower color is vital to the Virginia bluebell’s survival. An acidic pigment called anthocyanin makes the puckered flower buds a bright pink. However, the bees that pollinate Virginia bluebells can only see yellow and blue. About four or five hours before the flower unfurls, the cell sap turns alkaline and the flowers open blue, signaling pollinators to make a beeline to the nectar deep inside the trumpet-shaped flowers. Bumblebees are the primary Virginia bluebell pollinator, but they’re too heavy to land on the delicate flowers. To cope, they hover in front of them,

collecting pollen and sipping nectar through their long, drinking strawlike tongue called a proboscis. Butterflies and moths also enjoy sipping the nectar, in the process fertilizing the flowers. Other types of bees that do not have long enough tongues to reach deep into the Virginia bluebell flowers have found another way to get to the nectar. They bore a slit at the base of the flower tube (corolla), getting directly to the nectar. Called “nectar robbers,” these bees are important to pollination because while they sip the nectar, they brush against the pollen, spreading it. Some botanists also believe that this “back door” nectar siphoning forces the “front door” pollinators to visit more flowers to collect enough nectar to provide them needed energy. In the process, they pollinate more flowers, increasing seed set. Virginia bluebells and Dutchmen’s britches are two of the most important pollen and nectar providers for bumblebees in early spring. The first emerging Virginia bluebell leaves contain the color pigment anthocyanin making them a deep purple-green (depending on the pH, anthocyanin may appear red, pink, purple or blue). The dark color acts as a sunscreen, protecting the young leaves from excess light. As the leaves mature and become more robust, they change to bright green. For the most effective display, grow Virginia bluebells in massed clumps. Like spring beauties and trout lilies, the plants go dormant by early summer, making it possible to have a succession of floral interest by layering plants that will begin their growth cycle after the ephemerals have disappeared.

mith Mountain Laker magazine garden columnist Catriona Tudor Erler is venturing on a trip to Southern India from Sept. 15 through 30. Called “The Soul of India,” southern India is a land of scenic wonders, cultural heritage and captivating history. On the trip, you can visit vibrant cities, palaces and temples, tea and spice plantations, tribal villages, botanical gardens and the famous Kerala backwaters. You also can see rare flora and fauna, tribal dances and meet extraordinary people. The Western Ghats, where the group is traveling, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, considered one of eight hot spots of biological diversity in the world. Highlights of the two-week itinerary include stays at two award-winning luxury eco lodges; vehicle safaris into Nagarhole National Park, where the ecosystem supports the highest density of herbivores anywhere in Asia; nature walks; a coracle ride on the Kabini River; a visit to Ooty, nicknamed “Queen of Hill Stations” by the British who retreated into the cool mountains to escape the summer heat; a journey over the rugged mountains to Coonoor on the toy train (Nilgiri Mountain Railway); an overnight tour of Kerala’s beautiful backwaters on a local houseboat; and a performance of the extraordinary Kathalkali dance. The cost is $5,100 double occupancy (not including airfare) or $2,919 for single occupancy. For more information and complete itinerary, visit sites.google. com/catrionatudorerler.com/india2018/home or contact Catriona at Catriona@CatrionaTudorErler.com or 434-953-6780.

hen you think of active lifestyle communities, amenities such country clubs, swimming pools, tennis courts and golf courses might come to mind. At The Coves in Union Hall, that idea has been turned upside down. There, your neighbors will be not only members of your club, but also wildlife, fauna and the intrinsic natural beauty of Smith Mountain Lake. It only takes a minute of speaking with owner Dennis Crumpler before you realize his passion for developing this community into an environmentally friendly oasis of solitude that boasts sweeping views and stunning vistas. Situated on 89 acres, there are 34 homesites, numerous common green areas — picnic and sunset viewing shelters, a pavilion that overlooks the Cliffs, one of Smith Mountain Lake’s most famous landmarks, covered boat slips — and walking trails.
After acquiring the land for The Coves, it became developer Dennis Crumpler’s personal quest to create a community where people would live more harmoniously with their natural surroundings. The inspiration for the community’s walking trails, which cross or access all of the community’s waterfront land, came from a trip Crumpler and his family took to England years ago. Before vehicles, footpaths were how people and livestock traveled from place to place. With those paths often crossing onto private land, special easements were created. Those centuries-old pedestrian footpaths still exist today and transverse England and the European continent. “When you look across history, community was built on how long it would take to make a connection with those around you,” Crumpler said. “Walking the natural paths created by neighbors on public and private land was always the best way to connect.”
A new vision of community A native of Vance County, North Carolina, Crumpler never intended to be, and is definitely not, a typical developer, but then The Coves is not just any lake development. Following a successful career in

Atlanta’s high-tech industry, Crumpler’s interest in land conservation was piqued while serving on the board of the Southern Environmental Law Center, headquartered in Charlottesville. Through that involvement, he became aware of community development possibilities that he felt many of the socalled “experts” were missing when it came to creating green, sustainable neighborhoods that celebrate being outside. “Our homes are designed to lure residents outdoors, to interact with the trails, the water and the common areas with their spectacular views,” Crumpler said. In 2006, Crumpler and some partners happened upon, and then purchased, a tract of land in Union Hall that featured a mile of shoreline along the Blackwater River arm of the lake. Two years later when the Great Recession hit, Crumpler bought his partners’ holdings in the property. While riding out the economic downturn, Crumpler consulted with national experts and did his own due diligence and research in what became his personal quest to create a community where people live harmoniously in their surroundings.
picture this | soaking up the sun The Coves Club currently has three portable “demo” solar power generators available for (limited) emergency power generation for each home on the property through an automated transfer switch installed on the panel controlling power into the homes. These portable units each have six full-sized panels, 12 12-volt batteries, and control equipment to supply 450 amp/hours of power from a full charge to each home, which gets renewed via daylight on an ongoing basis.

ABOVE Dennis Crumpler built this rustic picnic shelter at one of the common areas at The Coves to work with the stone-stacked chimney that was already in place.
“The lake is a gift in and of itself,” he added. “But having direct access from your home to the water, large shared spaces, trails and stunning views of the mountains creates something compelling.” The master site plan for The Coves was developed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects of Charlottesville. The firm designed a plan that incorporated new infrastructure while respecting and paying homage to Southwestern Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains. In fact, the Virginia Department of Transportation-compliant roads are reminiscent of the winding byways found along the Blue Ridge Parkway. “The Blue Ridge surrounds us, and you can clearly see Peaks of Otter from our south ridge; this proximity led us to celebrate the feel of the parkway as a specific design objective from the start,” Crumpler said. With his passion for technology, Crumpler wanted to ensure the community is plugged in. There’s state-of-

the-art wastewater treatment, as well as solar power and telecommunications, all of which play a role in creating a greener, environmentally sustainable development. Advantex wastewater treatment septic plants have been adopted as the recommended standard, Crumpler said. The plants pump graywater from the homesites through underground pipes to a central control facility that manages water dispersion to a 5-acre site along the southern ridge of the development. A commercial contract with Verizon Wireless allows for emergency 911 phone service and high-speed internet to be delivered to homes through standard routers, Crumpler said. The routers have a traditional phone jack and four Ethernet ports plus logical integration with various security and control systems in each home. Internet service also extends to various points throughout the property, including along the trails, pavilions and rest stops. “We use our model homes to demonstrate how ‘smart home’ innovations, highly tailored to individual preferences and needs, can play a role in everyone’s life,” Crumpler explained. “A cozy home on a mountain lake

is where the dream here starts, but such largely hidden and highly affordable IP-based technology tools can enhance an owner’s enjoyment, safety and basic economics.”
Embracing sustainable energy The Coves Club, in collaboration with The Coves property owners association, also recently purchased 288 full-sized solar panels (70 kW), and work has begun to deploy them into the first phase of the neighborhood on a ridge at the west end of the property. Crumpler said the array soon will be connected via a wire “conduit bus” to lots 1-10 on the west end of the project. Each home will have enough panels connected to its traditional power meter (via net metering) to zero out a monthly power bill under normal usage conditions. (The power company and all of its reliability and service equipment will stay in place.) Solar panels for each home, and the power they generate, Crumpler said, come to homeowners as part of their annual club dues.

One critter that has gained popularity is a young female red fox that the community has named Foxy. Pictures of Foxy and other wildlife can be found on the development’s Facebook page.
“We created our club to deliver amenities and services to enhance the experience of owning a home at The Coves,” Crumpler added. “Delivering supplemental solar power is a great example of the club delivering on its mission.” Guidelines of the community regarding clearing lots, stormwater drainage and protecting against the invasion of non-native vegetation all are part of the conservation efforts at The Coves. Maximizing preservation in pursuit of conservation is Crumpler’s overarching goal for developing the property. “Being mindful about development practices and being highly practical are not mutually exclusive ideas,” Crumpler said. “And in the end, blending the two usually turns out better and less expensive results.” One of two model homes (top and bottom) at The Coves illustrates how natural light brings the outdoors inside.

which is a certified EarthCraft home. This green-building certification program helps to maximize a home’s efficiency while reducing the footprint on the environment and can be applied to a variety of structures, from single-family homes to light commercial buildings. Homesites at The Coves include off-water lots, on-water lots and estate lots. Off-water lots feature expansive lake and wooded views plus access to the lake and trails around the property. On-water lots combine a natural habitat with immediate lake access, while estate lots (up to 5 acres) typically offer hundreds of feet of shoreline and one-of-a-kind views. “No matter which category is chosen or how much one decides to invest in a house, all homeowners in The Coves Club are encouraged to think of the entire neighborhood — and all that it offers — as immediately accessible,” Crumpler said. “It’s all calling them to come outside and enjoy it.” Some suggested home types include Mountain Retreat, Queen Anne, Adirondack and Cape Cod as well as others that are designed to blend into the natural environment and surroundings. The concept is not to build large-footprint McMansions, Crumpler added, but to extend the indoor living space into the outdoors through decks, porches and wide, sweeping views. “Our homes have rooms with great views open to shaded decks with fresh air and breezes, as well as adjacent paths and steps leading down to trails,” he said. “The trails beg for movement, breathing and up-close encounters with plants, critters and the occasional neighbor.” While The Coves community is unlike any at SML, and one of few like it in the country, the details have been born from the farreaching vision of a most unlikely developer. “Planned community development is a highly competitive, exacting business,” Crumpler said. “Creativity and innovation are absolutely essential.”

The latest high-tech appliances offer work-saving technologies for lake homeowners
ON THE COOKING EDGE
Induction cooktops, which use a magnetic field to generate heat with no ambient heat on the cooktop surface, are popular for remodels.
By jerry hale
“There’s an app for that!” That exclamation, relatively new to our language, puts words to a dynamic of modern life: eliminate as much work as possible from whatever it is we are doing. Not surprisingly, innovation is king in home appliances — especially in new and renovated kitchens that look out over Smith Mountain Lake. “Our lake customers are often the ones who come in searching for the very latest,” said Paul St. Clair, manager of Vinton Appliance Center. Dual-fuel ranges are a prime example, St. Clair said. They pair the instant burner heat control of a gas cooktop with an electric oven that doesn’t dry out cookies, cakes and pies the way gas ovens can. And if getting gas to the kitchen is not feasible, there are electric induction options that simulate the responsiveness and control of gas burners. In fact, induction cooktops are becoming the first choice for remodeling, according to Mike Koon, appliance specialist at Ferguson Showroom in Roanoke. “A magnetic field generates heat in special metallic pans (about $200 for a set of six), with no ambient heat on the cooktop surface,” Koon said. “It’s 85 percent more efficient, heats a pan twice as fast and spills don’t bake onto the cooktop surface. Induction is especially well-suited for renovations since there’s minimal requirement for expensive-to-create air-replacement paths that today’s building codes require.” For lake kitchens with in-island cooktops, Koon recommended flush-to-ceiling, over-range vents. “No longer does the lake view from the kitchen or great room have to be blocked by a low-hanging vent hood,” he said. “And the fan noise is in the attic.” Steam/convection oven combinations also are all the rage, Koon said. “They’ll do most everything a microwave does (except for heating coffee and popping popcorn) but without radiation.” An avid home chef for 35 years, Koon touted the unit’s gastronomic benefits. “Steam is fantastic for seafood — it infuses seasonings and doesn’t carry odors into the kitchen,” he said. “There’s no over-cooking; you can multi-layer an entire meal, including veggies, and then use convection to finish-brown the meat. And the steam cleans the oven automatically.” For microwave purists, there’s a new under-counter drawer-style unit, St. Clair said. “It’s much safer for kids and rotator-cuff-challenged elders to reach down than up.” St. Clair said he’s also hearing rave reviews from customers who purchase GE’s Advantium microwave/speedcooker that combines convection radiant

heat with microwave energy for shorter cooking times. It, too, is available as an over-range unit or in under-counter drawer-style. Now that many of today’s appliances are connected to the internet, efficiency is taken to a new level. “Everything is moving toward Wi-Fi,” St. Clair said. “Should you need to preheat the oven on the way home from the store, you can do it from your smartphone.” Internet-connected appliances can make service calls easier, as well, St. Clair said. “Several Miele appliances offer RemoteVision that notifies [the company] when a unit is failing so they can dispatch a technician who already knows the issue and brings along the parts needed,” he said. “Lake homeowners, who may find being present for multiple service calls a hassle, can be confident repairs will get done in just one visit.” A search for the latest appliances on the web shows items such as a glass front refrigerator, which with two knocks on the door, turns on a light to allow a person to study what’s inside without opening the door and allowing cold air to escape. Robot vacuums, including those manufactured by Roomba, Shark and Hoover, learn a home’s floorplan to avoid collisions with walls and obstructions. They also automatically adjust to different flooring surfaces — hardwood, tile and carpeting — and can be dispatched from afar. And there are built-in coffee stations/cappuccino makers, akin to hiring an on-call barista. St. Clair said he’s talked to lake customers who are interested in installing outdoor kitchens on decks, patios and docks. “Grill/smoker combinations, warming drawers, under-counter fridges, ice makers and wine coolers are among the musthaves,” he said. There’s not as much new for laundry rooms, but St. Clair noted that the Speed Queen line of commercial-grade washers for the home have not had their effectiveness hampered yet by governmentimposed restrictions on water usage per load. Still, there will always be those who find an occasional splurge on an ultra-convenience or a high-tech luxury item a spirit-raising experience. Take, for example, Black and Decker’s WiFi-enabled slow cooker, which is programmable by phone, that can serve as a virtual personal chef. Or a refrigerator smart cam that helps track your groceries and alerts you when you have soon-toexpire items. There’s also an $80 rechargeable ceramic mug that maintains hot beverage temperature — remotely adjustable, of course.

Jack Browning has a passion for boat motors that can fit in the palm of your hand Story by jerry hale Photography by don petersen

hen you think of outboard motors, you might think of 150- to 250-horsepower Mercury engines that power bass boats, 85 to 115 Evinrude engines found on vintage pontoons, or newer model tritoons with Yamaha and Honda engines. And then there’s Jack Browning of Hardy. His outboards are considerably smaller. These are fit-in-thepalm-of-your-hand, battery-powered replicas that mount on 12-inch to 18-inch runabouts, hydroplanes and cuddy-cabin cruisers. Well-known to most of the nation’s roughly 375 collectors of toy boats and outboards, Browning has more than 450 of them displayed in his home — nearly one of every design ever produced. “I’ve pretty much given up acquiring [any more] because there’s just not much I don’t already have,” Browning said. Browning’s interest and enjoyment of toy outboards began at age 11 when his parents, who accompanied friends to the New York Boat Show, brought him a 1956 Mercury Mark 55 outboard plus a Fleetline Dolphin model boat powered by a replica 1956 Scott-Atwater. Browning’s family often visited those friends at Flat Top Lake, near Beckley, West Virginia, which is how Browning learned to ski behind engines similar to the ones he collected in miniature form. With his passion for the boat toys piqued, Browning gradually acquired seven more toy motors that sold at
“I decided I should own one of every model outboard ever made, and I’m pretty close to that goal.”

the time for about $6 each. “I’d save my nickels and quarters till we went to Charleston, the closest place that had them,” Browning said. “Then I’d buy the one that caught my eye.” Those first eight motors — which Browning’s mom held onto when other childhood toys went to rummage sales — are now displayed together with several Fleetline model boats that were popular at the time. Browning rediscovered them in the late 1970s after they had been packed away in the attic. “They were in bad shape,” he said. “I had gotten active in Big Brothers [Big Sisters of America], and my little brother had played hard with them. It took some TLC
to get them running and looking good, but working on them got me interested in collecting. “I decided I should own one of every model outboard ever made, and I’m pretty close to that goal. Anything new I find for my collection now is just a color variant of one of the generics.” Since the really popular boats of the late 1950s ran 40- and 50-horsepower Mercury engines with chrome cowlings covering stacked in-line cylinders, Browning has a bunch of those in his collection. “Some look much the same, but always differ slightly in horsepower rating, coloration or some other detail,” Browning said.

Only one firm, K&O Fleetline, had acquired rights to use the engine makers’ names on toy motors. While several other companies made generic knock-offs, the K&O originals are what collectors crave. “They’re like the real motors these guys skied behind as kids,” Browning said. Browning has retained the original packaging for most of his K&O motors — boxes that are replicas of each scale outboard’s shipping carton, sporting original engine brand logos and “This End Up” handling warnings. One of his most valuable toy engines is a 1960 60-horsepower Gale Buccaneer V-4 which, in full scale, had a cowling the size of today’s 250-horsepower fourstroke engines. Another hot commodity — and worth about $1,500 — is a K&O drink mixer that looks like an outboard engine, complete with a portable fuel tank that holds its batteries. Alas, production of toy outboards ended in 1962, which Browning attributed to waning interest. “Kids’ interests turned to space toys about then, and the market just evaporated,” he said. After earning his mechanical engineering degree from Virginia Tech in 1967, Browning settled in Roanoke, working at Appalachian Power for a year, then with Kroger’s store equipment division. After four years there, he and a partner purchased Kessler Refrigeration and specialized in retail refrigeration fixtures for grocery stores in Virginia and seven surrounding states. That business was sold to an employee seven years

ago, and Browning, now 72, retired to a home he had built in 1983 near channel marker R47. He shares his home with partner Anita Hull, whom he calls “the love of my life for the past 12 years.” Browning recalled one of his first experiences navigating SML. “I first saw the lake in ’67 with two cousins in a 14-foot lapstrake runabout powered by a 35-horsepower Evinrude Big Twin,” he said. “We launched at Crazy Horse, promptly got lost and, until someone told us what the channel markers meant, spent nearly the whole day motoring into cove after cove looking for the way back to the ramp.” Since that time, Browning has honed his navigation skills. Today he owns a Wellcraft runabout, a pontoon with a full-sized Honda outboard and personal watercraft. He’s also an airplane pilot who holds a multi-engine instructor rating, and co-owns a Beechcraft 180 with several other pilots. His passions for boating and collecting parallel his love of classic fast cars. He’s owned a couple of Shelby Cobras and 13 Corvettes and currently drives a 1972 Sting Ray 454. “I guess maybe having so many model outboards is excessive,” Browning said. “Then again, you’ve got to love what keeps you active and interested.”

FROM LEFT Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, in northeastern Tanzania. Moneta resident Pidge Morgan plays “Simon Says” with children who attend Komakaya Primary School in Moshi, Tanzania. Morgan, an avid photographer, first visited Tanzania on a photo safari in 2003. “I’d been there for about three days before I realized I needed to go back for a different reason,” she said. Later this summer, she’ll make her 21st trip back to the African country.
frica may be thousands of miles away, but there’s rarely a day that goes by when Moneta resident Pidge Morgan is not thinking about her friends there. In 2003, Morgan was on a photo safari in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania when she felt called to serve. “I’d been there for about three days before I realized I needed to go back for a different reason,” she said. After returning home, Morgan visited Dwayne Westermann, a Lutheran pastor, who runs the Roanoke-based nonprofit Godparents for Tanzania. She asked to return to the country with his group the following year. “He told me there was no room for me to go, but as I was leaving [his office], he said, ‘Wait a minute. I’ll find a spot for you,’” Morgan recalled. Since that time, Morgan has been instrumental in not only helping Tanzanians, but also for raising awareness here at home on their behalf. It’s a mission that Morgan’s husband Bob has wholeheartedly endorsed from the beginning. “Throughout this process, he has supported me 100 percent,” Morgan said. “I couldn’t do this without him.”

Door of Hope Maasai Ministry in her travels back to tanzania, Morgan met the Rev. Johnson Lyimo, a Lutheran pastor. He had dreamed God was calling him to save young girls who belonged to the Maasai tribe from the possibility of being traded for cows into polygamous marriages by providing them with an education. “In his dream, he had seen an angel, and the words underneath that said ‘God’s hope-saving ministry,’” Morgan said. Answering the call, Lyimo sold his family land inheritance, bought land and built a small house that would serve as a school and a dormitory. In a dream she had around the same time, Morgan saw a door. “The building had a door on it that I had seen in a dream of mine,” she said. “It was the exact same door. So we named the place Door of Hope.” Since 2006, Trinity Ecumenical Parish and its parishioners, including the Morgans, have supported Door of Hope both spiritually and financially. “At Trinity we are loving, serving, learning and growing together in Christ,” said the Rev. Dr. Philip Bouknight, Trinity’s pastor. “As a church, we seek to make a substantial impact in our local community. We also believe that God is calling us to do amazing things throughout the world. Our ministries in Tanzania are part of our DNA.” Last year, Bouknight and his wife, Tara, were among eight parishioners from Trinity who traveled with LEFT Door of Hope Maasai Ministry was founded by
the Rev. Johnson Lyimo to give girls an opportunity to live in a safe environment while getting an education. Seven girls live at Door of Hope, along with a matron and night watchman. Lyimo once told Morgan, “You’re their mother, and it’s your job to help me protect these girls.”
BELOW Last year, a $400,000 Rotary Global Grant
provided refurbished medical equipment to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre. “This grant was significant because this was a hospital that was using original equipment from the 1970s,” Morgan said.

Morgan to Tanzania. “We were so moved by their plight that our family decided to ‘adopt’ a 13-year-old girl named Esther,” Bouknight said. “Not only are we removing her from an environment where there are abusive tribal practices, we are providing for her food, lodging, education, medical needs and eventually we will pay her college tuition.” Esther is one of seven girls who live at Door of Hope along with a matron and a night watchman. All of the girls are attending school. Although she’s a continent away, Morgan regularly stays in touch with what’s going on in the girls’ day-today lives. “One time Johnson [Lyimo] said to me, ‘you’re their mother, and it’s your job to help me protect these girls,’” Morgan recalled.
Hai Institute of Technology another ministry supported by trinity and Godparents for Tanzania is Hai Institute of Technology. The vocational training school teaches trades such as electrical installation, auto mechanics, welding and brick masonry, and currently has about 36 students, Morgan said. “There’s a great need in Tanzania for technical skills, especially for auto mechanics. Some of the automobiles are very old and they need constant repair,” she said. “And also, of course, electrical installation is important now that there is more power throughout Tanzania. They need technicians who can install electrical connections and repair anything that needs repairing.”

through her membership in the rotary club of Smith Mountain Lake, Morgan regularly researches grant opportunities to help improve life for Tanzanians. Last year, a $400,000 Rotary Global Grant was awarded to provide refurbished medical equipment to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre. “This grant was significant because this was a hospital that was using original equipment from the 1970s,” Morgan said. When Morgan makes her 21st trip to Tanzania later this summer, she plans to visit the hospital to see the new equipment and document the impact it’s made on the people there. By answering the call to serve and by sharing stories about students who attend Door of Hope and Hai Institute, Morgan is hopeful that one day the cycle of poverty can be broken. “All of our students have great hope and great dedication to their studies … to climb out of this poverty that they’re in,” she said. As chairman of Lake Christian Ministries’ board of directors, a Moneta nonprofit that helps area residents with food, clothing and financial assistance, David
English said he has seen the effect of poverty on people living in the U.S., but what he saw in Tanzania when he traveled to the African nation with other Trinity parishioners last summer was much different. “Visiting Tanzania makes you aware at a very deep level what poverty is and what the challenge people have who are living in poverty. The impact on me is hard to define, and it may take me a while to figure it out,” English said. “[But] the needs of the people in Tanzania are not hard to define. Their needs are great.” Because the needs of Tanzanians are so great, Morgan has no plans to slow down her work there anytime soon. “As long as I can still get on the plane, I plan to make the journey to Tanzania to do whatever I can to help my brothers and sisters,” she said.

Thai STYLE CUISINE With cooking classes and new food boxes, Moneta resident Mantana Heim makes your next great meal her business Story by karen dillon Photography by don petersen
A
nyone who knows Moneta resident Mantana Heim knows she’s passionate about cooking, especially Thai dishes. Through her SML International Cooking School, Heim is not only teaching classes, but she’s also launched a food box business that offers complete Thai meals that can feed a family of four. “It will come ready to cook,” Heim said of her newly launched business Thai Style. “It’s food from start to finish in probably less than 30 minutes on the table.” For $40 a meal, Heim purchases the ingredients, makes the sauce, packages everything — including step-by-step instructions — and delivers it to designated locations around the lake for pickup. A different Thai dish is offered each time, and food boxes are available on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. “After you prep your ingredients, it takes only five to six minutes to get to eat it,” Heim said. “Gourmet food starts at home.” Buying the freshest, locally produced ingredients available is Heim’s main focus, and it’s what she imparts to her students in her cooking classes. “I am really into the local growers,” she said.
Like Having Your Own Sous Chef Mantana Heim prepares fresh, often local ingredients for customers to cook into a tasty dish at home.

What’s In The Box? A food box for chicken pad Thai came with everything needed in separate, clearly-labeled packages, along with step-by-step instructions. The results? A lovely and delicious dinner.
But this self-professed “foodie” wasn’t always into Thai food or cooking, for that matter. The sixth of 10 children born to a police chief and his wife, Heim’s primary focus growing up in Thailand was on getting an education. “As a child, my main job was to go to school,” she recalled. Because her father was a police chief, the family had
96
SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER | MARCH & APRIL 2018
to move every two years to stave off corruption. Although she wasn’t allowed to cook, moving often helped expose Heim to foods and flavors from other regions. “I had a chance to eat at different places,” she recalled. “But I didn’t know how to make anything.” When Heim was in her mid-30s, she moved to the U.S. While she loved American food, she also found herself craving dishes from her homeland. “I was yearning and wanting to eat Thai food,” she said. She bought a Thai cookbook written by a California woman who had lived in Thailand. “She really knew her stuff, and that was how I learned,” Heim said. Friends and family swooned over Heim’s cooking. “‘Mantana,’ they said, ‘we really like this; teach us how to make it,’” Heim recalled. After she and husband Gus moved to the lake from Florida more than a decade ago, Heim decided she wanted to open her SML International Cooking School and share her love of Thai cooking with others. However, knowing she needed to perfect her skills, Heim took off to Thailand for three months to study traditional cooking techniques. She enrolled in the culinary arts program at Chaing
Photos KAREN DILLON
Mai Technical College. Classes regularly consisted of making a main dish and a dessert from a recipe provided by the instructor using only basic tools in traditional Thai cooking. Initially, there were eight students, but at the end of the three-month course, attendance dwindled because the work was so labor-intensive. “Doing this from scratch, our class only had four [students] left,” Heim said. After she returned to the U.S., Heim got set up to teach cooking classes in the colorful, well-appointed kitchen of her Moneta home. On the second Saturday of each month, she hosts classes (at $30 per person) for anyone who may be interested in learning how to cook Thai food.
Friends said: “Mantana, we really like this; teach us how to make it.” “Even if I have one student, or five or six, people come to learn how to do it,” she said. “Six is probably the maximum because I want everyone to learn.” Upcoming classes will include massaman curry chicken, laab gai (a low-calorie chicken salad), fresh spring rolls, lo mein with Asian vegetables, drunken noodles, ham and pineapple fried rice with won ton soup, among others. “I can also do an appetizer class of Satay, a peanut sauce class or Thai egg rolls and fresh spring rolls,” Heim said. Similarly, the food box meals feature dishes such as pad Thai with pork tenderloin, chicken with sweet basil stir-fry, and red curry with fish or chicken and jasmine rice. Heim said future meals offered through her food box business will depend on what ingredients she can get locally when they’re at their freshest. “My customers will know ahead of time so they can make a decision at least two weeks ahead,” she said. Brimming with as many ideas as there are Thai dishes, Heim wants to host an open house and reception to provide samples of her dishes for a nominal fee. Also in the works is a class on bread making for those who may feel like they don’t have time to make it. Heim makes healthy grain bread that includes carrots, raisins, sunflower seeds and wheat germ. “You would not feel guilty because you’re eating something that’s good for your body.” Healthy, clean eating is what Heim wants to emphasize with her cooking. “I try to stay away from chemicals,” she said. “We’ll teach you how to eat healthy and quickly and be good to your body.” To see a list of events offered by Heim, visit the SML International Cooking School page on Facebook.

Misbehavin’— but only a little Sometimes, a little rule-breaking is in order By Kimberly Dalferes
White before Memorial Day? Whether it’s fine or a fauxpas probably depends on what’s in your closet — and your upbringing.
114
SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKER | MARCH & APRIL 2018
I
have a confession. Recently, I broke a rule. Being a Virgo, breaking any kind of rule is a big deal in Virgoland. I risk losing my Virgo card by even admitting that I haven’t fully, and with due diligence, adhered to every law, regulation, decree and/or guideline hereto set forth. And yet, here I am professing my sins for the entire world to see. Here goes: I wore white before Memorial Day. I’m sure the fashion police are on their way to my house at this very moment, sirens blazing. In my defense, I had an exceptionally creditable reason for breaking the no-white-before-Memorial-Day edict. During the daily I-have-nothing-to-wear diatribe in front of my overflowing closet, I spied a pair of chic, wide-legged white pants that were the perfect choice for pairing with a lovely, sky-blue wool sweater. A fetching blue and white scarf completed the ensemble. Yes, I could have gone with the more acceptable black leggings, but I needed something to get me through yet another cold and overcast day of winter 2018. So, I broke the statute. Come at me if you will. When you think about it, we each carry with us an internal rulebook that guides our behaviors and decisions. Many of my personal go-to guidelines can be traced to my grandmothers. For example, GeeGee, my grandma on my mama’s side, taught me that nails match the lips and bags match the shoes. Boys, I may have lost you at nails. Trust me, it’s a steadfast rule. My rules are not limited to fashion choices. Nana, my Irish grandma on my dad’s side, taught me many valuable lessons that I still adhere to today. For example, never leave a hat on a table or a bed. Back in the day this may have been based on a public health issue to keep in check all manner of head lice and other traveling critters. However, it still seems like a good rule of thumb today and, per my Nana, any violation of said standard will bring about some very bad juju. Just last week I was in a restaurant where, at the table next to us, a gentleman had laid his winter cap on the white clothed tabletop. I continue to regret that I did nothing to save this poor soul from a future that has surely been filled with misfortune. Nana also taught me other useful tenets such as never split a post (this is akin to don’t walk under a ladder) and never trust someone with thin lips. I gotta admit, the lips one is a little weird. For the most part, I’m a model Virgo and a dedicated rules girl. I generally follow our societal commandments. I’ll admit that, on occasion, I’ve exceeded the driving speed limit and I don’t floss my teeth each and every day. However, I do always feel guilty when I neglect my gums, so that’s gotta count for something. 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.
