You may think summer is a busy season at Smith Mountain Lake, but when it comes to events, autumn is definitely tops around here. The SML Wine Festival, Charity Home Tour and Antique Boat Show are just a few of the events that occur annually. At Laker Media, our challenge is to find new and interesting twists on these long-time lake favorites while also making readers aware of new events or smaller, more obscure ones they may want to attend. In this issue, I think we’ve accomplished that goal with several engaging features, interesting profiles,

an expanded version of the events calendar and our exclusive guide to taking the SML Charity Home Tour by boat. You’ll also want to turn to page 26 to see and read about the winning entry in our 5th Lovely Laker Landscape Contest, sponsored by Lakescapes Nursery, and page 74 for a feature on how two buddies transformed a former schoolhouse into a lively sports pub. Laker Media team members already are busy working on the November/December issue. In it, we’ll publish a new guide to health and wellness at Smith Mountain Lake as well as our annual Holiday Gift Guide. For details on both, turn to page 35. I hope you enjoy an eventful fall!

Thailand

CharlottesvilleVicki and Eddie Allman (first and fourth from left) of Hardy took a break from tailgating at a UVa football game last fall to have this photo snapped with the Cavalier mascot and his horse. Joining the Allmans were friends from Chesapeake, Chester, Nokesville, Powhatan, and Richmond. “We shared our Laker with everyone and they loved it,” Vicki said.

SavannahSmith Mountain Lake residents (from left) Linda St. John, David St. John, Anne Legard, Frank Oakes and John Legard took the Laker in March to Savannah, Ga., for the city’s 188th St. Patrick’s Day parade. The event, which draws hundreds of thousands people, is part of a two-week celebration of Irish heritage in the historic city. The SML group is pictured at the Pirates’ House, a restaurant that dates back to 1753.

Turks and CaicosGeorge and Jennifer Chaconas of Moneta traveled in March to the Turks and Caicos Islands for a warm-weather getaway. The couple is holding the September/October 2011 issue of the Laker, for which they volunteered as cover models along with their labradoodle, Chloe. The Turks and Caicos are in the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas, north of Hispaniola and about 620 miles from Miami.

VicksburgIn May, Bonnie and Don Bull of Moneta cruised the Mississippi River from Memphis to New Orleans aboard the “American Queen,” a paddlewheel steamboat. Stops included Vicksburg (where they posed for this photo with the Laker) and Natchez, Miss., Helena, Ark., Oak Alley, St. Francisville and Baton Rouge, La. “We loved the steamboat and the shore excursion buses ... which offered ‘hop on, hop off’ stops at the various ports,” Don said. “The food was great, the room was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and attentive.”

In May, SML Rotary Club president Case Pieterman and wife Coby visited the Buddhist temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep near Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. The temple, which is at an elevation of 3,520 feet, dates back to 1383 and can be reached via a steep staircase of 290 steps. Case said the temple’s pagoda contains holy Buddha relics and attracts Buddhist pilgrims from all over the world. The Pietermans were in Thailand attending the 2012 Rotary International Convention.

Key WestJohn and Ann Yearick of Christiansburg and Smith Mountain Lake traveled in January for a winter getaway to Key West, Fla. The couple stopped for this photo with the Laker in front of the concrete marker painted to look like a buoy that claims the spot in Key West as the southernmost point in the continental United States.

New OrleansIn May, 40 friends and family members (including this group from SML) joined long-time lake residents Ralph and Barbara Brush in New Orleans for a three-day celebration of the couple’s 50th wedding anniversary. Ralph (holding magazine) and Barbara (in purple sweater) met in the city and lived there when first married. This photo was taken at the Houmas House Plantation and Gardens, an antebellum estate in nearby Darrow, La.

BahamasNoah and Adam Patterson of Penhook took time out from their April vacation to Atlantis Paradise Island, a resort in the Bahamas, to pose for this photo with the Laker in front of the Leap of Faith. The 60-foot waterslide with a Mayan Temple theme features a nearly vertical drop that propels riders through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon.

St. MaartenJenny, Hanna, Kayla and Bobby Hathaway of Powhatan paused for this photo with the Laker following a snorkeling trip off the coast of St. Maarten. The family members, who also enjoy vacations at SML, made a stop at the Caribbean island while on a spring break cruise in April. St. Maarten, which encompasses the southern half of the island, is a constituent country of the Netherlands, while the northern half, known as St. Martin, is an overseas collectivity of France.

Tennessee

The Dillard family of Union Hall took a year’s worth of Lakers with them on a trip in April to Great Smokey Mountains National Park where they posed for this photo with Clingmans Dome in the background. At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in Tennessee and the thrird highest mountain east of the Mississippi River (behind North Carolina’s Mount Mitchell and Mount Craig). Pictured from left are Christine, Elizabeth, Steven, Caroline, Elsie and Ralph Dillard.

George and Peggy Morrison never paid much attention to Smith Mountain Lake when they were growing up less than three hours down the road in Abingdon. But

in 1980, Peggy got her first post-college job in Bedford. The couple moved to Roanoke, purchased a secondhand boat and began to explore – and fall in love with – the lake. “We loved the serenity of the water, the beauty of the area, the friendly people and proximity to Roanoke and Virginia Tech,” Peggy said. “It was soon apparent that we planned to come back to the area when we retired.” Over the years, the Morrisons rented lakefront homes for one-, two-, then three-week vacations, and it was during one of those excursions that George took a photo of a home the couple admired. “It was just beautiful,” he said. “And I kept

Most Unexpected ElementThe water feature in the foyer. “We saw this in a restaurant and thought it was a good way to hide the view until you entered the room,” Peggy Morrison said.

Couldn’t Live WithoutThe whole-home audio system. “We enjoy music, and all our CDs are on a server, so we have easy access to a wide variety of music. We can listen on the dock too,” said George Morrison.

Glad We Splurged OnThe whole-home generator, which came in handy after a major storm knocked out power for several days at the end of June. “We had electricity, ice, hot water,” Peggy said. “We lived [elsewhere] through two tornadoes and one hurricane. The cost of the food we have thrown out over the years could buy this generator.”

that photo in my day planner where I could see it often. Owning a house on the lake became one of our goals. It was a dream.” George, a district human resources manager with UPS, and Peggy, a city planner and consultant, moved farther away from SML through the years – to Richmond, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Louisville – but continued to vacation here. Ultimately, they invested in a townhouse on the Blackwater at Lakestone, where, George noted, their yearly taxes were less than their monthly townhouse taxes in Pennsylvania. In 2000, the Morrisons purchased a waterfront lot and began working with an architect to design their dream home. In 2006, after two years of planning and 18 months of construction, the couple moved into their stunning, three-story Contentment Island home, which will be featured Oct. 5-7 on the SML Charity Home Tour.

Clockwise from top left, a dining table seats four on the lakeside patio, which also includes an outdoor fireplace for chilly autumn nights; the main-level family room features a 20-foot wall of windows and two-story fireplace; a Victrola is one of several family antiques which decorate the lower-level master suite.

shorelines | LAKE HOMES

“It was our dream-come-true to live at the lake and to have a home that was the best of several houses we had lived in after five work-related relocations,” George said. “When you are relocated to a place not of your choosing, the house is a house and never feels like your home, because you lack the emotional investment knowing it was not going to be the area where you would settle down after retirement.” From the lake side, the Morrison home towers above the water with three stories of windows and stacked stonework columns. On the street side, a distinctive barrel-ceiling entryway welcomes visitors. Water flows down a stacked-stone wall in the two-story foyer, a harbinger of the relaxing water views guests will find in nearly every room of the open and accommodating home. A small glass wall between the great room and the dining room seems to expand both spaces. Custom-designed cherry cabinets, an expansive island, high-end appliances, tile backsplash and stone columns all contribute to the eye-popping kitchen. The master suite on the main floor allows one-level living and has a sitting room facing the double-sided fireplace from the great room.

2012 GUIDE

Looking for a fun way to spend a fall weekend on Smith Mountain Lake and support eight local

charities? Then mark your calendar for Columbus Day weekend (Oct. 5-7) and make plans to attend the 2012 SML Charity Home Tour where visitors can get an inside look at eight distinctive lakefront homes and find design, decorating and landscaping inspiration.

The fact that all eight Tour homes are accessible by boat is part of what makes SML’s event unique among similar tours across the country. Weather permitting — and Southwest Virginia is usually blessed with some gorgeous fall boating days in early October — traveling to some or all of the homes by water, especially with friends or family aboard, is a special treat.

The close proximity of this year’s Tour homes, coupled with lower gas prices, makes going by boat practical, too. Seven Tour stops are clustered along the shores of the lower Roanoke and Blackwater channels, and the eighth is reached via what is generally a traffic-free run up the Blackwater to B47.

In addition, Tour planners have taken steps to arrange extra docking space at several of the homes to minimize instances where boaters have to wait for a place to tie up.

All-in-all, some delightful fall cruise destinations await, so keep this guide for attending the Home Tour by boat handy.

– Jerry Hale

Turn to Page 55 for our annual Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour Guide, which includes descriptions and photos of all eight homes and directions on how to visit them by boat.

Upstairs are two guest bedrooms, a bath, sitting area with wet bar and access to the decks, which are constructed of Ipe with railings made by George’s father, who owned an ornamental iron company. On the lake level is a second family room with another complete kitchen and second master suite. All doorways are extra wide for handicapped accessibility. The Morrisons designed the space to accommodate their parents should health issues require them to move in. It could also house a caregiver and allow the Morrisons to stay in the home later in life, Peggy said. Family is a common theme in the house, and in the second master suite is a collection of family

The recreation room is designed for fun and features a pool table and abundant neon signs. The home’s high-tech features include a Lutron lighting system and whole-home audio system, a feature the couple said they couldn’t live without. The Morrisons said they got many ideas for their home while attending the SML Charity Home Tour several times. Now, they look forward to opening their home so others can do the same – and raise money for eight local charities. “We were thrilled about being invited to have our home on the Charity Home Tour,” George said. “We know how much the proceeds benefit the many deserving charities.”

hSimply SpectacularFour years after beginning construction on

their custom waterfront home on Smith Mountain Lake, Judy Smith began to get cold feet. She started creating excuses for why she couldn’t move from her home in

Forest to the lake house. Perhaps the most unusual was that she could not leave behind four large trees she had grown from saplings.

Her husband sprang into action, consulting with landscape architect Cabell Crowther, who suggested they move the trees to the new property in The Waterfront Country Club community. So, on a cold day in January 2005, five workers from a local

landscape company arrived in Forest with heavy equipment to unearth the trees, wrap the root balls in burlap, transport them to the lake and replant them.

“It took five guys 5½ hours to dig up one tree and wrap the roots,” said Steve Smith. “The root ball was so heavy, the back of the front-end loader rose in the air. Five 200-pound guys had to stand on the back of the machine as counterbalance.”

Those four trees, which would have cost far more to replace than to move, are key to the Smith’s garden design, which won this year’s Lovely Laker Landscape Contest.

shorelines | LAKE & GARDEN

RIGHT A twisty downspout is like an abstract sculpture, transforming function into form at the Smith home. Dwarf fountain grass ‘Hameln’ grows at its base.

BELOW The serpentine stone retaining wall creates level garden space near the house and creates interest as the wall curves out of sight. The trees planted at the lake level frame the view and add a sense of depth from the house.

Now at least 25 feet tall, the coral bark Japanese maple (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’) is a focal point at the front entrance, adding year-round interest with its vivid coral-colored branches in winter, lime-green leaves in spring and summer and golden autumn foliage. The maroon hue of the ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese maple softens the opposite corner. A third Japanese maple provides shade to the exercise spa while the relocated lace leaf maple graces a corner in the side garden.

Moving the specimen trees was just one of the many house design and landscape hurdles. Although the property has 550 feet of shoreline, the lot is long and skinny, presenting challenges to both architect Danny Goins and landscape architect Crowther. Each had to figure out how to fit the house and garden onto the lot, adhering to the Franklin

County and Shoreline Management Plan setback codes, while still providing ample living space. Both designers rose to the challenge.

“The house literally could not have been an inch bigger,” said Judy. “There are all sorts of odd angles to accommodate the lot, and the entire house is pointed toward the Peaks of Otter view.”

The garden is terraced to create level areas. The stone retaining walls have serpentine curves to reduce the impression of their height and length, also adding a delightful sense of mystery because the curves obscure the view from one end to the other.

In a garden of this size, it would have been an easy pitfall to fill it with hundreds of different plant varieties. Instead, the Smiths realized the importance of making a large statement with swaths and ribbons of one plant. Groves of Heritage river birch flank the driveway. The ornamental grass Miscanthus sinensis follows the arch of the sandy beach. Large-leaf hydrangea soften the house foundations on the shady side, while a mass planting of the sun-loving Annabelle hydrangeas fill a sunny spot. Judy’s latest idea is a layered row of hydrangeas combining the long-flowering, 8-foot tall ‘Limelight’ behind ‘Little Lime,’ a new dwarf introduction that tops at 5 feet.

“There are all sorts of odd angles to accommodate the lot, and the entire house is pointed toward

the Peaks of Otter view.” Judy Smith, homeowner

JuDy SMITH’S 13 FAvOrITE PLANTS

� Coral bark maple (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’): I love the 4-season interest: coral branches in winter, lime green leaves in spring and summer and golden fall foliage.

� Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’: It has huge, spectacular blooms that change from white to apple green. It’s great for dried flowers, and since it blooms on new wood, I can cut it back in winter.

� ‘Kleim’s Hardy’ gardenia: They are evergreen all year, and have white, fragrant blooms from spring until frost.

� ‘Natchez’ crape myrtle: They have a classic look in the landscape and provide late summer to fall blooms. They can be pruned, but do not lop off the tops of the branches. That kind of pruning ruins the shape of the tree.

� American yellowwood tree (Cladrastis kentukea, aka C. lutea): A Virginia native, it has beautiful branch structure and white wisteria-like blooms in the late spring.

� Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus): I love the shape of this tree, which reminds me of [the movie] “Out of Africa,” and the spiky lavender blooms from spring to early summer.

� Cryptomeria japonica ‘Yoshino’: This is the most beautiful evergreen I have ever seen.

� Viburnum plicatum tomentosum ‘Summer Snowflake’: An upright viburnum with layers of white blooms in the spring that last for many weeks, the deer will not eat this shrub. Viburnum ‘Shasta’ is another favorite that is more horizontal in habit than ‘Summer Snowflake.’

� Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Alice’ (oakleaf hydrangea): When planted en masse, it’s absolutely stunning. The cone-shaped white blooms are 12 inches long in spring, and it has beautiful fall foliage.

� Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum): A deciduous conifer that is absolutely beautiful in all seasons.

� Bloodgood’ Japanese maple: I love its branch structure and the beautiful leaf shape and color.

� Dwarf maiden grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’): This grass is gorgeous in all seasons and grows to only 3-4 feet.

� Sedum ‘Vera Jameson’: A ground cover sedum that blooms purple-pink in late summer.

Judy chose her shrubs for their suitability to the lake environs and their diverse seasonal interest: rhododendrons in spring, St. John’s wort for early summer, different types of hydrangeas, Knock Out roses for long summer interest, and evergreens such as ‘Kleim’s Hardy’ gardenia and the compact ‘Soft Touch’ holly. Carefully positioned trees provide needed shade at different times of year.

Deeply involved with the care of the garden, Judy walks the property daily, noticing which plants need a little feeding, a little pruning, a bit more water, giving the care as needed.

BELOW From left, the evergreen Gardenia jasminoides ‘Kleim’s Hardy’ is another favorite plant in the Smith garden because it has fragrant flowers from spring until frost; the chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) reminds Judy of the movie “Out of Africa,” while ‘Little Lime’ hydrangeas provide later summer interest. When mature, the newly planted ‘Limelight‘ hydrangeas will provide another shrub layer behind the ‘Little Limes’.

“I have a feel for plants and their watering and feeding needs,” she said. “you just have to be observant and look at them. When we started, we also had our soil tested, which helped me to learn what was needed.”

When she does fertilize, Judy said she is careful to use the minimum required to meet the plants’ needs without causing leaching into the lake.

“Too little fertilizer is better than too much,” she advised.

Now happily settled in their home, Judy laughed when recalling her qualms about the move. In addition to her passion for the garden, both Steve and Judy are actively involved in the lake community. Judy is a member of both the Moneta and Smith Mountain Lake garden clubs and volunteers at the Southern virginia Child Advocacy Center in rocky Mount. In her spare time, she draws and works in pastels. Steve is an avid golfer and an accomplished duplicate bridge player. They are supporters of the roanoke Symphony, and you can catch Steve performing with the Smith Mountain Lake Harmeneers barbershop chorus.

If grape vines could speak, the vibrant green rows at Hickory Hill Vineyards & Winery in Moneta would have many stories to tell.

They could recall how the operation began in 1992 as five acres planted on land boasting

a fascinating history that pre-dates Smith Mountain Lake itself. They might share how the vineyard later became the 75th commercial winery in Virginia or how the circa-1923 farmhouse was restored into a charming tasting room. They might proudly tell of the many awards Hickory Hill’s wines have earned over the years.

Over the past 20 years, the Furrow family

has made growing grapes and producing

award-winning wines a family affair

at Hickory Hill Vineyards & Winery.

LEFT Hickory Hill Vineyards & Winery owner Roger Furrow inspects the vines, which he and Judy Furrow, his wife of 50 years, have nurtured since 1992.

ABOVE LEFT Vines stretch across the Bedford County land the Furrows purchased in 1992 to start their vineyard. The couple sold their grapes to another winery for several years before opening their own in 2001.

ABOVE RIGHT A renovated farmhouse serves as a tasting room and gift shop at Hickory Hill.

Mostly, the vines would likely describe the careful cultivation and diligent involvement of owners Roger and Judy Furrow, whose passion for the land and business has been passed on to daughter Wendy Furrow-Scott and her husband, Donald Scott.

Earlier this year, Hickory Hill’s vines reached their 20-year mark and Roger and Judy celebrated 50 years of marriage. Both milestones are rooted in steadfast dedication.

The early years“When I was in the Air Force, I was once assigned

additional duty of inventorying the Officer’s Club,” Roger Furrow said. “As a country boy from Franklin County who grew up in a family that never drank

wine, I was fascinated by all the exotic French and Italian wine names in the wine collection. When I told Judy, we decided to start trying a few wines, and we loved it. Soon, we were making homemade wine from everything available.”

The couple was invited to experiment with a few vines on land in the Hickory Cove area of SML owned by Roger’s father, who helped build the Smith Mountain Dam. The Furrows made trips from their North Carolina home to his parents’ cabin almost every weekend to cultivate the grapes. They also made time to participate in winemaking seminars sponsored by Virginia Tech’s Department of Agriculture.

“Judy and I started looking for a farm where we could plant a commercial vineyard,” Furrow said. “We bought the old Tobe Scruggs farm that is now Hickory Hill in 1992 and planted the first blocks of grapes that year. We sold our grapes to another winery the first six to seven years, but then I retired from my real job and we opened the winery in 2001.”

Judy Furrow said they could not have made the operation a success without help from the lake community, particularly when Judy battled cancer in 2005.

“The Smith Mountain Lake community has been supportive from day one,” she said. “More importantly, the community continues to support us by bringing their guests to visit us and buying our product in the local stores. Also, much of the work here at the vineyard and winery is done by volunteers who help us with festivals, bottling and harvesting the grapes.”

a Family aFFairWendy Furrow-Scott and brother Tad were

entering adulthood by the time their parents estab-lished Hickory Hill. Still, both the SML area and their parents’ winery dream were a large part of their lives.

“I have so many fond memories of growing up around the lake,” said Furrow-Scott. “[Water] skiing, swimming, fishing, boating. About the time I finished high school, Mom and Dad planted the experimental vineyard on the lake in Hickory Cove on my grandparents’ property. By the time that vineyard started producing, I was in college and not visiting the lake property as much. In some ways, I wish I had grown up on a farm. I guess that is one of the reasons my husband and I chose to leave our [information technology] jobs, move our family here and raise our daughter [8-year-old Tura] on the farm I never had.”

Furrow-Scott and her husband began living and working at the winery full time about seven years ago. She said what they gave up in income from fast-paced corporate jobs has been far surpassed by the quality of life they enjoy at Hickory Hill.

“Donald and I do most of the day-to-day work now,” she said. “Donald loves and lives in the vineyard foremost. He is in charge of bottling, and also does all the wholesale selling and stocking of local stores and restaurants. He is in charge of all the festivals, remotes, distributor compliance and required monthly reporting.

“I do the bookkeeping, website and marketing and I’m in charge of the Sunset Saturdays summer music series, as well as the special private tastings, painting parties, chocolate parings and vertical tastings we do over the year.”

Furrow-Scott described her dad as “Mr. Fix-It,” overseeing operations and mentoring the younger couple on winery ownership. She said her mom enjoys handling merchandise display in the gift shop and at events. Each family member contributes strengths when it comes to the bottling process.

“When we are getting wines ready to bottle, we will all sit down and taste the wines,” said Furrow-Scott. “Mom has the best nose and I am a pretty close second. Dad and Tad have great palates, and Donald has developed a very good palate.”

lake ambassadorsThe family members agreed that meeting

interesting people from all over the world in the tasting room is a perk of winery ownership. However, overcoming cultural differences has been difficult at times.

“One of the hardest things I’ve had to do while working in our tasting room was to explain to a couple from Denmark, who spoke and understood very little English, that I could not serve their three teenage children a taste of wine because the law did not allow me to serve people under 21 years of age,” Judy recalled.

There have also been many funny stories through the years – like the time Roger chased a loose water drum rolling down a hill into the lake. Sharing a bit of their personal lives, knowledge of wine and fondness for the lake area with guests is a part of everyday life at Hickory Hill.

“I would like to think we provide people who visit with the opportunity to better understand wine, how it is made, how wine can add to the enjoyment of a meal,” said Judy Furrow. “I would like to think that the people leave SML having had an enjoyable experience and will make them not only want to return to our winery, but to the community as well. If this is done, then we have contributed to the economics and good will of all of us who live here at Smith Mountain Lake.”

Patriotism, craftsmanship and style: The pre-World War II Chris-Craft line of recreational boats is a tribute to these American values and has become the fascination of antique watercraft hobbyists across the country.

OPPOSITE PAGE An American flag affixed to the stern of Mike Mutchler's prized antique boat "Flapper" flutters during a ride near the base of Smith Mountain.

LEFT The transom displays the vessel’s name as well as the year it was built (1926); the steering wheel on “Flapper” is crafted of mahogany.

Local boating enthusiast Mike Mutchler cruises Smith Mountain Lake in his 1926 Chris-Craft triple cockpit, taking pride in the rich history the boat represents. “Flapper” will be the featured vessel when the SML chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society hold its 22nd annual show and

festival Sept. 15 at Mariners Landing in Huddleston.“I’ve always admired antique boats,” said Mutchler, a retired

General Motors vice president and engineer from Detroit who once lived not far from Algonac, Mich., where the original Chris-Craft plant was located. “To me, they’re an expression of American craftsmanship because the wooden-boat concept, especially the runabout concept, was invented here in the United States.”

Mutchler’s attraction to antique boats, along with his expanding collection, played a key role in his decision to move to SML 12 years ago with his wife, Dolores.

From top, Mike and Dolores Mutchler often dress in 1920s clothing when displaying “Flapper” at boat shows; the vessel's bow displays a flag with the name of the manufacturer, Chris-Craft, the company that pioneered production of runabouts.

“When I retired, we were looking for a lake that did not freeze and a lake where I could build a boathouse for the boats,” said Mutchler, explaining that doing so helps protect vessels from sun exposure and water damage.

“One of the attractions antique and classic boat lovers have to Smith Mountain Lake, I think, is the lake itself,” he said. “It is very user-friendly. It’s very easy to keep a boat here on the lake, one of the few places you can build a boathouse to house and protect your boat.”

Mutchler owns four antique boats, but “Flapper” is the showpiece.

“It is the oldest and largest boat I own,” he said. “It was a complete basket case when I found it. It had to be redone from the keel all the way up over three years’ time at a professional woodworking shop in Michigan. The engine has been rebuilt twice.”

Mutchler said “Flapper” was originally used for demonstration and testing at the Kermath Engineering Company, which was working to expand horsepower in its engines.

“I’m assuming Kermath used it until close to 1930 and then sold it to some private individual in Michigan. The owner previous to me found it in a barnyard in Michigan. Someone had run it into a rock, broken the keel and abandoned it where it sat for many years,” said Mutchler. “He and I were neighbors in Michigan. He was a large-scale classic

LEFT Mike Mutchler takes wife Dolores for a ride on SML aboard “Flapper,” the couple’s 1926 Chris-Craft runabout.

boat collector and realized he wouldn’t get around to restoring ‘Flapper,’ so he sold it to me.”

In its restored condition, “Flapper” is a vintage vision with a gleaming wooden body stretching 26 feet in length and housing a 1,300-pound, 69-inch Kermath engine from the late 1920s. Mutchler enters his vessels in boat shows, mostly those local to Smith Mountain Lake and his part-time Florida residence, cruises SML in them with his wife, children and grandchildren, and keeps a careful maintenance regimen. For Mutchler, each aspect of owning antique boats is equally enjoyable.

“I usually like to run each boat at least once a week. When I get back, I chamois the whole thing off so it doesn’t get water spotted. I check the engine, check the oil, then cover it back up so the sun doesn’t deteriorate the mahogany finish,” he said.

Dolores Mutchler said she doesn’t mind her husband’s attachment to the boats, “Flapper” in particular.

“It’s his life,” she said. “Ever since he quit work he’s been working on that boat. He enjoys it and as long as he’s healthy enough for it, I don’t mind. I have my sewing and he has his boats.”

Mutchler said he looks forward to displaying “Flapper” at SML’s show and festival, one of the most anticipated annual events at the lake.

“’Flapper' is being featured because it is one of the oldest boats on the lake,” said Mutchler. “It is the only one around with an old Kermath engine in it, which is a rare find.”

The Mutchlers enjoy adding to the historic emphasis of shows by dressing in 1920s costume. Dolores said she decides whether to wear her old-fashioned bathing suit or a long skirt with pantaloons and parasol based on the weather.

“We wear the costumes to fit with the time frame of the boats. The women of these early eras wouldn’t have been wearing modern clothes; they would have been wearing long dresses, jewels and pantaloons,” she said.

The popularity of the SML show demonstrates the area’s strong representation of antique and classic boat enthusiasts, which Mutchler said he’s confident will continue to grow.

“The antique and classic boat interest here is becoming quite popular. I expect the club, which has about 74 members now, will get bigger,” he said. “Similar clubs in other areas of the country have combined shows with one another and with antique automobile clubs as well. We might start to see that sort of thing develop here too someday.”

The Mutchlers, along with their three daughters, named the boat "Flapper" after deciding its

moniker should be synonymous with the 1920s.

Boat’s name a fusion of family heritage and southern style

SMITHMOUNTAINLAKE.COM 51

What do you get when you try to come up with a boat name that reflects both a passionate Greek heritage and the southern charm of a lake in Southwest Virginia?

Tom Gerakaris and father Gus found out as they contemplated the proper moniker for their 2006 24-foot Maxum.

“‘Y’all Greek to Me’ seemed like the appropriate combination,” Tom Gerakaris said. “And because of it, we’ve gotten to say ‘ti kanis’ [Greek for ‘How are you doing?’] to fellow Greeks who have noticed the name on the sides of our boat.”

As further testament to the family’s heritage, Greek letters also spell out ‘Gerakaris’ on the boat’s transom.

“We credit Dad for our lake life,” said Tom Gerakaris, whose family’s history with the lake began more than 20 years ago. “He discovered this paradise when a friend suggested having a look at a great destination for fishing.”

Father and son have both seen proof that SML is a productive fishery. They regularly use their 20-

foot Grady White outboard to fish for striped bass. In May, Tom caught the largest striper ever entered in the 44-year history of SML’s annual Optimist Club tournament. The 42.88-pound fish will soon grace the spot above the mantle in the home Tom shares with his wife, Dawn, in Sleepy Hollow, a waterfront community on Gills Creek. His dad lives next door.

“We try to spend as much time as we can here year-round,” Dawn said. “We used to drive 13 hours from Florida with young children just to enjoy Gus’ place on the lake. Now we’re fortunate to have a lake house right next door.”

The Gerakaris clan’s favorite boating outings include runs toward the dam to “get wet in some of the lake’s clearest water,” Dawn said. “We have lots of friends and family visit, and they always enjoy seeing that part of the lake. Our grandchildren [there are five ranging in age from 10 months to 15 years old] especially like swimming there.”

Gus’ pre-retirement work in construction produced a friendship with local contractor Lynn Swain, who helps operate Portside Grill & Bar at Virginia Dare Marina. Gus said he enjoys taking the boat to Portside to enjoy the over-the-water restaurant’s festive atmosphere, good food and beverages.

“It’s not Greek food, but it’s a good place anyway,” he said with a laugh.

2012 guide

Looking for a fun way to spend a fall weekend on Smith Mountain Lake and support eight local

charities? Then mark your calendar for Columbus Day weekend (Oct. 5-7) and make plans to attend the 2012 SML Charity Home Tour where visitors can get an inside look at eight distinctive lakefront homes and find design, decorating and landscaping inspiration.

The fact that all eight Tour homes are accessible by boat is part of what makes SML’s event unique among similar tours across the country. Weather permitting — and Southwest Virginia is usually blessed with some gorgeous fall boating days in early October — traveling to some or all of the homes by water, especially with friends or family aboard, is a special treat.

The close proximity of this year’s Tour homes, coupled with lower gas prices, makes going by boat practical, too. Seven Tour stops are clustered along the shores of the lower Roanoke and Blackwater channels, and the eighth is reached via what is generally a traffic-free run up the Blackwater to B47.

In addition, Tour planners have taken steps to arrange extra docking space at several of the homes to minimize instances where boaters have to wait for a place to tie up.

All-in-all, some delightful fall cruise destinations await, so keep this guide for attending the Home Tour by boat handy.

The remodeled bar area at Ole School Sports Pub and Grill, sectioned off from the main dining room, offers a number of games and televisions.

From schoolhouse

to

listen up, class! What do you get when you combine history, sports, beer and burgers? the answer is ole school sports Pub and Grill, one of the lake area’s newest restaurants.

originally established in 1931 as Dudley school, the building housed Dudley mart & restaurant for years before pals corey hansen and chuck hiltz took over in the spring, rebranding the convenience store and eatery at the intersection of lovely Valley and Burnt chimney roads in Wirtz.

hansen said the new venture started with a mutual love of chicken wings.

“chuck and I and some other friends started a group called Wing Nuts. We’re a group that loves wings and discovered that this place, when it was the Dudley mart, had the best wings anywhere. so every tuesday night for about a year we would come here for wings. then we heard it was for sale, and chuck and I talked about buying it and started to scheme what we would do with it.”

LEFT The Messy Face Burger, a popular choice at Ole School, is topped with onion rings and barbeque sauce.

BELOW From top, the restaurant’s exterior features original brick, a reminder of the building’s origins as Dudley School; Co-owner Corey Hansen, who worked to make Ole School’s dining room more family-friendly, holds his 6-month-old twins, Ava and Cooper.

Before opening, the pair gave the interior a fresh look, remodeling to create a rustic, pub-style at-mosphere with exposed brick, classic red diner booths and dark wood in the main dining area, which seats 60.

“the perception of this place before we bought it was that it was not family-friendly, and we’re trying hard to change that,” said hansen, a father of young twins who also owns Perfect Blends, a café and coffee shop at Westlake corner. “We want families to feel comfortable bringing kids with them.”

Part of the plan includes projecting old black-and-

white films (with the sound turned off) on a large white wall in the dining area. later in the evening, the projector is used to show sporting events. however, those who crave more sports can always head to the pub, which is partitioned off in the back. It includes nine televisions, foosball table and darts. the pub, which has 12 beers on tap, including rotating craft varieties, offers drink specials sunday through thursday from 4 to 6 p.m.

ole school has quickly become a popular hangout for locals, including Wirtz resident mark Banks, who said he enjoys stopping by for a cold drink and good conversation.

try thIsChicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and a roll for $10.

Messy Face Burger with onion rings, cheese and barbecue sauce served with handmade chips and a pickle spear for $8.

Strawberry Shortcake piled high with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for $3.

“I noticed the place when it was undergoing its transition,” said Banks. “I like being here; it’s nice to have something like this close by. the staff is great and I love coming to the bar after work.”

ole school’s American grill-themed menu features specialty burgers such as the Pizza Burger, Bacon Bacon Bacon Burger and the Bacon Banana Burger – all stacked with the distinctive ingredients their names suggest. hungry customers also can feast on sandwiches, salads and homestyle chicken, steak and seafood entrees. Weekend breakfast hours mean patrons can get their fill of traditional breakfast items, including extra-large pancakes.

Naturally, the menu also includes wings. “our wings are huge; they’re like the biggest

wings I’ve ever seen in my life,” said hansen. “We offer a variety of wings sauces all created by and named after [members of] our staff, which is how we separate ourselves from other places.”

hansen and hiltz also held on to two Dudley mart traditions – the Friday night Walleye fish fry and saturday night Prime rib special. Also popular is the outdoor activities area for live music by local bands on the weekends, Wednesday night corn hole and thursday night horseshoe tournaments.

LEFT Shortcake is topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream at Ole School, which also specializes in chicken fried steak (background) with mashed potatoes and gravy.

The sML Wine Festival is the largest event of its type in southwest Virginia, and while it provides an outstanding opportunity for wineries to promote and sell their wines to a large number of

people, there’s also much time, effort and cost that goes into participating.

This year’s event is slated for sept. 29-30 at LakeWatch Plantation in Moneta. David sawyer, owner of Fincastle Winery & Vineyards, said he’ll arrive a day in advance to set up his operation. sawyer pitches a tent, places tables and hangs banners displaying the winery logo. Vessels filled with ice are needed to keep the white wine (and red if it is a hot day) cool. Corkscrews and price lists with descriptions of wine are needed as well as point-of-sale equipment for credit card transactions. (Most vendors now rely on wireless technology.)

“The folks running the festival really step up to the plate as far as taking care of the vendors,” sawyer said. “And if it rains, they are out there putting out hay so the grounds don’t get muddy.”

Wineries bring in a stock of wine in hopes of selling it all – but without running out too soon, which can result in frustrated customers. sawyer said he factors in the previous year’s sales and the weather forecast when calculating how much wine to bring. Last year, it was toasty hot on saturday but rained on sunday.

sawyer said patron tastes sometimes vary depending on the day. Often, the saturday crowd is younger with a proclivity for lighter and sweeter wines. sunday tasters tend to be older and more experienced, ones who appreciate a more serious wine such as Cabernet Franc, he said.

In addition to the wine, there are other costs involved in participating in the festival. sawyer uses

volunteers to help pour wine, but larger operations often bring paid employees. The wineries are required to obtain permits from the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to ensure wine is served in a controlled environment. Wineries also pay a fee to participate in the event, although they are reimbursed for the wine given out as samples.

Russ Amrhein, owner of AmRhein’s Wine Cellars near Roanoke, said he begins the festival preparation process by analyzing the type of customers he expects to see. He noted that younger wine tasters prefer products such as Ruby (a raspberry chocolate wine), Vin de Peche (a peach wine) and Traminette (a hybrid variety made in a sweet style with crisp acidity). More serious wine drinkers prefer his Petite Verdot, a substantial, dry red wine made from a variety that originated in Bordeaux, France, he said.

Amrhein said he then narrows the wine he plans to take down to no more than 10 selections (out of the 21 types the winery produces). A call to the smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event, reveals how many tickets are pre-sold so he can estimate the amount of wine to take.

“For every case of wine that we sample out, we like to see $1,000 in sales,” said Amrhein, whose final task is to complete a detailed checklist of necessities to pack such as tables, chairs and tablecloths.

so why do wineries go through all of the effort to participate in festivals?

“It’s all about making contact for future sales,” said H.T. Page, co-owner of Brooks Mill Winery in Wirtz. While Brooks Mill is only about a 10-minute drive from the sML festival site, it’s a bit off the beaten path. “some people tend to taste more and buy less,” said Page, whose wines are made from a variety of fruit, including blackberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, apples and cherries.

Virginia law requires all wine be sold to retailers by a distributor. Geoff Garcia, who manages savoy-Lee Winery in Huddleston, said the company is in the process of obtaining a distribution license so he can expand his sales beyond the winery’s tasting room and festivals.

“Festivals are a substantial portion of our income,” he said.

Clockwise from top right, colorful vendor tents dot the wine festival site at LakeWatch Plantation; friends Monica Spencer (left) and Chinah Jewell sample a red wine at the 2011 event; different varieties of wine are lined up and ready for tasting; a volunteer for AmRhein’s Wine Cellars pours a sample for a wine festival visitor.

SML Hot Air BALLoon CLASSiC Now in its second year, this event has been expanded to include numerous family-friendly activities, according to organizer Holly Sweet.

“Everyone had such a great time at Mariners Landing last year that it was really a no-brainer to do it again and try and encompass more of the lake area,” said Sweet, explaining the event will kick off on Friday, Sept. 7 at Downtown Moneta with tethered balloon rides from 5-7 p.m. The cost will be $5 per person per ride with proceeds benefitting the SML Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Saturday’s events include two scheduled flights at approximately 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. set to launch near Mariners Landing. However, Sweet said the exact times and launch locations depend on weather conditions.

“The easiest way to keep up with it all is through the [2nd Annual SML Hot Air Balloon Classic] Facebook page,” she said. “We’ll be posting that morning and evening to let everyone know what’s going on.”

At approximately 8 p.m. on Saturday, a glow ceremony will take place on the lawn at The Pointe at Mariners Landing.

“It’s really spectacular to see these large balloons lit up after dark,” Sweet said. “The whole experience is magical, especially for kids. To see their faces light up when they see those balloons, it’s just wonderful.”

Sweet said anyone interested in scheduling a private flight may email [email protected].

Dates: Sept. 7-8

Times/Locations: Friday, 5-7 p.m. tethered flights at Downtown Moneta; Saturday, morning and afternoon flights, glow ceremony after 8 p.m. at Mariners Landing Resort Community & Conference Center, Huddleston. Events will not take place if high winds or rain occur.

Cost: $5 for tethered flights; free admission to glow ceremony
