:ious night. \Vhen his meeting
vith Topp finished at noon, he
vas so thrilled he didn't sleep
1efore the 3 p.m. call for the
iext long shoot.
That night, the cre\V ven­
ured to a desolate back road.
vhere two main characters
''ould set off on an impromp­
u drag race. Topp came oul
in that cold night, stayed a few
1ours and left.
A short while later a tear}'­
'Yed production manager found
)eimel and broke the news.
\Ve're out of money!"
The director \Vas summoned
o a phone in a production truck,
\ith Topp on theline.Her voice
-ounded flat: "Mark, what's go­
o.g on?"
And he didn't know. "\Ve
1ad a local accountant," he re­
alled. "\Ve never really saw
he books."
The problem was "probably
verspending," he said. "lt's
till a bit of a myster}'."
After a flurry of phone calls,
e proceeded \vith the frigid
hoot. "And I'm thinking, 'Am
putting these people through
:1ls misery for no reason?' I'n1
::eling pretty low."
The next morning, the sched­
le was reworked. To cut their
Jsses, "we shut down three or
our days early, and finished
p back in California."
"Deuce Coupe"was never re­
?:ased to theaters or on DVD in
he United States, but \Vas sent
·ut to foreign markets after its
•remiere. In the years since,
)eimel has heard from view­
rs in such far-flung places as
l"orway and Saudi Arabia.
The movie's largest fan base
robably is people into hot rods
nd raclng, along with the hun­
reds oflocals \Vbo appeared in
le film as extras.
"Deuce Coupe" is set in 1958
nd focuses on hvo teen broth~
rs - played by Kieran J\.ful­
oney and Brian Bloom - plus
mean-tempered greaser, an
:inocent girl and a naughty
~mptress.
The film \Vas shot from mid­
iovember through early De­
ember of 1989. Some of the
)cations have since vanished.
Suffolk Raceway, \Vhere a
rag race occurs, shut down
1 1991.
Old Suffolk High, \Vhich the
ilm's teens attended, closed
'ithin a year and is now the
MarkDelmel
arts center where "Deuce
Coupe" will be shown.
College Park Skating Center
in Virginia Beach, where Mul­
roney shared a scene with the
seductress, was razed a few
years ago.
Doumar's Cones & Barbecue
is still in Norfolk. So is the neon
sign the filmmakers created for
the drive·in eatery's big scene.
Deimel, 57, is sentimental
about these places, and the film.
It was his last attempt at mak­
ing a movie with live actors.
Now he's an editor at Dream­
\Vorks Animation in Glendale,
Calif.. which produces animat­
ed films such as "Shrek" and
"Kung Fu Panda."
He said he chose to work in
animation pmily because of the
difficulties he had \vith "Deuce
Coupe."
Deimel kne\v zilch about cars
and racing when he set out to
make the movie. Jim Nichols, a
screen\vriter, loved that ·world
and had the idea.
Once they sold the concept,
the two visited southeastern
Virginia on a tip. They discov­
ered do\vntown Franklin, which
they considered the ideal small­
town setting for the movie.
ABC had casting approval.
Deimel was looking for hot,
young actors who were on their
way up but still affordable. For
the key role of younger brother
Eddie, he liked two equally well
- Brian Bloom, famous then as
Dusty on the soap opera ''As the
World Turns," and a newcomer
called Brad Pitt.
ABC chose Bloom, because
they didn't like Pitfs last name.
"They said, 'People \Vill say
your movie's the pits.' 1 thought
their reason was kind of silly."
Deimel said he still felt
Bloom was great in the part.
"He's a very good actor. And
I remember one time going in
a McDonald's outside Suffolk
andeverybodyrecognizedhim.
'Hey, Dusty!'"
After Deimel returned to Cal­
ifornia, it took until August
1990 to line up the funds to fin­
ish shooting, and a year more
to edit it. "Deuce Coupe" pre­
miered in Franklin in 1992.
For the foreign release, the
film had mostly original music
that sounded like it was \vritten
in the 1950s.
But Deimel had hoped to use
real '50s songs, such as Jo Staf­
ford's "You Belong to 1'.1e," for
the domestic release. "There
were issues with music licens­
ing we never resolved."
It v.·ould have been costly
and time-consuming to nab the
tunes he wanted. Another hold­
up was that the film's partners
could pot agree on an accept­
able deal for domestic release,
so none was ever made, he said.
Deimel and his co-producer
tried distributing the film in
the States themselves in 1996.
They tested it out in Hampton
Roads and in Fresno, Calif., and
learned "you have to have deep
pockets" to do that.
Even five years ago, an en­
tertainment attorney offered
to try to sell "Deuce Coupe" for
distribution in \Valmart. "But
the economics of it didn't make
sense," because of the !Ugh cost
for attaining music rights.
By then, if Pitt had been in
the movie, "itwouldhavemade
the film an easier sell.1faybe."
"Deuce Coupe" ended up in
the red, "probably because of
not making a domestic deal."
.He realizes they could've tak­
en less money and released it
domestically, perhaps using the
original soundtrack. "There are
times I've thought it was unfor­
tunate \VC didn't do that."
\Vhat are the chances it will
ever come out on DVD in the
States?
"Probably minimal. Seems to
me, it still has value. There is a
market.I don't know what size
market it would be. I still get
emails and letters from people."
Deimel sounded wistful as
he talked about his last film.
"I have a really warm memo~
ry of the people. The times we
have been back, they've been
really great."
As a moviemaker, "there
were a lot of great times, a lot
of great memories. And I miss
production." Finally, he came
to see independent filmmak­
ing as"an uphill slog."
As an animation editor, "my
life has been so much better.''

of the program's existence.
About 120 people were served dinner prepared by the Holland Ruritan Club, had the chance to win door prizes
and were honored for landmark years of service.
"Meals on Wheels would not be possible without our volunteers," executive director Roseland Worrell said. The
organization has more than 300 volunteers and provides two meals each weekday to about 140 elderly and
disabled clients in Suffolk and Isle of Wight County to allow them to remain in their homes.
Doug Casey, a member of the board, said it had been a "banner year" for Suffolk Meals on Wheels as both the
clientele and volunteer rosters increased in size.
"!want to thank everybody for another good year," he said, commending Worrell for her passionate leadership.
"With her leadership, we've gone above and beyond."
Ellner Horton, 95, is the oldest volunteer for Meals on Wheels.
"! enjoy it," he said. "It's something to do. Everybody says, 'Why do you stay so busy?"'
Worrell also took the opportunity to announce the first Meals on Wheels charity golf tournament on Sept. 27.
The organization relies on grants, donations and recipient fees from those who can afford it. It receives no
assistance from city, state or federal government, nor is it a United Way agency.
"We want to help ourselves," Worrell said, explaining the need for the fundraiser.

SUNDAY. 09.16.12 I SUN I THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT
COURTLAND I HERITAGE DP..V
ANNUAL CELEBRATION HAD IT ALL. EXCEPT ,FOR THE PRESIDENT'S DRESS By Linda McNatt
Correspondent
The dress stayed at home on the
ironing board.
Lynda Updike, president of the
Southampton County Historical So­
ciety and chairman of crafts exhib­
its at the annual Heritage Day, is big
on tradition.
And traditionally, she has worn
the colonial-style dress she made
years ago for events like Heritage
Day. But, the three-layered ensem­
ble with apron and petticoat was too
much for the heat the day promised,
so Updike dressed in shorts and a
bright red T-shirt.
She was glad she did. ·
The only reprieve from the sun
was offered by the dark storm clouds
that drifted across the sky last Satur­
day above the Southampton Agricul­
ture arid Forestry Museum complex.
But luckily; it never rained. And the
clouds played to a near-record-break­
ing crowd, with people coming from
several states to see how rural folks
in this area once lived.
"My husband used to live in Court­
land," said Sandra Edmond, who
brought her family from Roanoke
Rapids, N.C. "This is the first time
we've been, and it's really nice. But,

it's hot. If I had known it
was going to be this hot, I
\vould have \Vorn shorts."
More than 2,000 people
attended the event. They
saw examples of how the
old saw mill worked, how
corn was ground and tast­
ed samples of freshly-made
cornbread. They saw sor­
ghum syrup being brewed.
"I grew enough sorghum
to use in this exhibit," said
Ken Christison, of Conway,
N.C. "It's best on a biscuit,
with butter. You can use it
like maple syrup, make gin­
gerbread or cookies/'
The lye soap exhibit was
popular, and many city
folks learned what a good
remedy the soap is for chig­
gers, or red bugs.
"Mama used to put it on
us," said Peggy Johnson, a
volunteer with the agricul­
ture museum. "It was about
all we had back then. We
made cracklings here this
1norning, and we'll use the
lard from the cracklings to
inake the soap."
By early afternoon, there was only one bag of crack­
lings left and the lye soap was still selling well. "I've heaFd that the reci­
pe originally came from the
Greeks," said Da\vn Gunn,
Historical Society volun­
teer who experiments with
making the soap. "Some­
how, animal fat mixed with
water in a stream and bub­
bles formed. I like to play
with making the soap, and
I help out here whenever I
can. It is the best soap in
the world for shaving your
legs~"
While many of the visi­
tors went through the re­
stored historic buildings
like the one-room school­
house and the general store,
.others stopped to observe
and talk.·

"They start pecking at
food and water within hours
of hatching," said Glenn Up­

quite a while without eat­

were sent through the mail,
and they.went without eat­
ing then."

for several weeks until they

By ANDREW FAISON/CORRESPONDENT andrew.faison@yahoo.com FRANKLIN-Anne Holton, wife of U.S. Senatorial candidate Tim Kaine, during a Tuesday campaign stop in
Franklin shared her husband's strategies for improving education.
Holton spoke about Kaine's efforts during a visit to Paul D. Camp Community College on her continued tour of
community colleges and universities across Virginia.
Virginia's governor from 2006 to 2010, Kaine is running against Rep. George Allen in what's said to be one of
the hottest senate races in the country for the Nov. 6 election. The winner will replace Democrat Jim Webb, who
chose not to run for re-election.
A fmmer judge in Richmond, Holton spoke about her husband's efforts to improve the science, technology,
engineering and math currieulum; career and technical education; and workforce training. She said he worked
hard to strengthen the community college system, focusing on the career-technical options, such as the nursing
program and workforce development at Paul D. Camp.
"It is great to see the fruition of his hard work," Holton said.
She was pleased to see how PDCCC was connected to the community from the workforce center to collaborating over sports fields and nursing programs. "They're solving the local nursing shortage by growing their own here, so it was a treat to see all of that,"
Holton said.
While touring the campus, Joe Edenfield, vice president of financial and administrative services, informed
Holton about the competitiveness of the nursing program.

"They are an impressive group of students," said Holton. "These were first-year nursing students, the majority
are parents, the majority are working, a number of them older not fresh out of high school, and they're in here
learning how to fill a needed niche in the economy, and earn a degree where they can help take care of their
families."
"It's fun to see students who have so much on the line and are doing something practical and important for
themselves and the community," she continued.
The daughter of former Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton, she is excited to be a part of her husband's campaign for
the first time. She was not allowed to do so as a judge, a job she left after Kaine, a Democrat, was elected
governor.
"I'm very excited to be on the trail, helping promote his message," she said. "Tim thinks that we just so
desperately need people who are willing to reach across (political parties) and work with everybody, to get
things done in Washington. He's done that all of his political career and is ready to do that now in the U.S.
Senate."
Holton said there's an awful lot at stake for this election.
"We desperately need people in Washington who can help people figure out how to work together and break
through the gridlock and help build our economy and Tim can do that," she said.

SMITIIFIELD--lsle of Wight School Board member Herb DeGroft thinks schools and the county government
could share many services including purchasing, payroll and legal services.
DeGroft was among local leaders who met Monday with Del. Rick Morris, R-Carrollton, to discuss the
possibility of shared services between the county, schools and towns.
"With 99 percent of people here being new, we can get past these old people who couldn't give up the power,"
DeGroft said. "It's not about power; it's about saving money."
Morris intends to introduce a bill in January that would provide a locality in his district with a consultant to look
at the best options for consolidating services with the state picking up half the tab. He plans on creating a pilot
program that can be expanded throughout the state.
"I really think we can do this and take it all through the commonwealth," Morris said.
He is still researching the cost of a consultant.
In addition, Morris is asking each locality in his district that includes Franklin and Southampton County to
develop what he's calling a "government efficiency task force" made up of an administrator and one board
member from each governing body.
Carrsville District Supervisor Rex Alphin is having an independent consultant is a g:iod idea.
"Having someone who's independent and could see through the walls would be a good idea," he said. "The
county's fighting its issues and the school board is fighting theirs."
DeGroft also likes the idea.
"I think you have to have somebody with an objective outlook," DeGroft said.

Morris called another meeting for 8 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, in the schools' central office in Smithfield.

Victory Media, whose publications are geared toward military personnel transitioning into civilian life~ has
named Paul D. Camp Community College to its Military Friendly Schools list.
The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list honors the 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country the company judges as doing the most to embrace America's military service members, veterans and spouses as students, and ensure their success on campus. "Inclusion on the 2013 list ofMilitruy Friendly Schools shows PDCCC's commitment to provide a supportive enviromnent for military students," said Sean Collins, director for G.L Jobs and Vice President at Victo1y Media. "As interest in education grows, we're thrilled to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools." · The 1,739 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year's list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience. These schools have programs and policies for student support on campus, academic accreditation, credit policies, flexibility and other services to those who served. "We are pleased to be honored with this designation for the second consecutive year," said PDCCC President
Paul Conco. "We are also proud to be ranked in the top 15 percent with other prestigious schools throughout the
country. We remain committed to student success for all of our students."
Now in its fomthyear, the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled throngh a data-driven snrvey of more than 12,000 VA-approved schools nationwide. The survey results that comprise the 2013 list were independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology established by G .I. Jobs. Each year, schools taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board consisting of educators from schools across the country. 4:24 PM

Surprise! Michelangelo Show is Coming
By Teresa Annas
The Virginian-Pilot
©September 25, 2012
WILLIAMSBURG
The first major show of Michelangelo drawings in the United States in more than a decade is not headed
to a big-name museum.
Instead, the exhibition opens in February at the Muscarelle Museum of Art, part of the College of William
and Mary, just up the street in Williamsburg.
That's Michelangelo, the Italian Renaissance genius who lived from 1475 to 1564, painted the Sistine
Chapel's ceiling and sculpted "David.''
Aaron De Groft, director of the Muscarelle, chalked up his coup to "a series of relationships" cultivated
with experts on Italian art and staff at the Casa Buonarroti - Michelangelo's family's home in -Florence,
Italy - that houses his work, including a few hundred drawings.
"They are the largest repository of Michelangelo's works," De Groft said Monday.
The drawings chosen for the Muscarelle exhibition "really are the masterworks" from that collection, said
John T. Spike, the museum's assistant director. Spike is a Michelangelo scholar who is curating and
writing a catalog for the show.
The exhibit is scheduled for Feb. 9 through April 14 and then travels to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
When the Boston show closes on June 30, the works will return to Florence.
"Their time is up," Spike said, explaining that old drawings on paper are damaged by light exposure and
cannot be shown for very long.
One of the last American showings of Michelangelo's drawings was at Atlanta's High Museum of Art in
2000.
As a precursor to the drawings' arrival in Williamsburg, Pina Ragionieri, director of the Casa Buonaroti,
will give a free lecture at 6 tonight in Andrews Hall, adjacent to the Muscarelle on the William and Mary
campus.
Ragionieri will discuss the 26 drawings to be loaned for the show, "Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane
Masterpiece Drawings from the Casa -Suonarroti."
Spike said the show's theme was suggested by two drawings of Cleopatra that will be in the exhibition.
One is a more finished drawing of a serene queen of the Nile with an asp wrapped around her nude
chest. "It's one of the most famous drawings he ever did," Spike said.
Around 1988, when the National Gallery of Art was staging a major exhibition of the artist's drawings,
Ragionieri discovered there was another image of Cleopatra on the back of that drawing. She removed a
paper backing and found the sketch.
Spike said the ftip-side Cleopatra "seems driven mad, crazy, by sensuality."
The crazy Cleo is the profane, or worldly, version. The peaceful queen illustrates the sacred, or divine,
beauty of the human form.
"The Renaissance was a time of looking at opposites and seeing how they fit together," Spike said. "One
of the basic opposites is the sacred and the profane."
Half of the drawings in the upcoming show are of figures, including one of Madonna and Child. Many of these were sketches for Michelangelo's paintings and sculptures. The other half are plans for churches and fortifications, some of which were built. De Groft said he expects that the show will draw art lovers from throughout the mid-Atlantic region. He would not discuss the show's cost, citing a contractual agreement. The show will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Muscare\le, which opened in 1983. Admission will be $15.

Shelter hopes to raise awareness of silent crime By James Thomas Jr.
Correspondent
coalition of women's
A
groups hiked the trails
of Windsor Castle Park in
Smithfield on Saturday to
raise money and a'vareness
about a crime considered
the leading cause of injury
to women- but few will ad­
mit it has happened to them.
Domestic violence against
a woman happens every nine
seconds in America, said
Mary Williams-Davis, di­
rector of the Suffolk-based
Genieve Shelter. She said
feelings of "shame, fear, guilt
and denial" often keep the
abuse hidden behind closed
doors until police get in­
volved.
The shelter hosted the
"Walk Away from Domes­
tic Violence" walkathon to
save lives and let people
know help is available but
it takes money to keep pro­
grams going.
"There's such a need out
here," said Williams-Davis.
"Our phones ring constantly.
We're always at full capacity;
we always need more beds,
more buildings, more sup­
plies, more help."
About 100 people partici­
pated in the walkathon. They
walked in teams, family
groups, some walked alone.
Teams consisted of sorori­
ties, the Smithfield Women's
Club, Smithfield High School
field hockey athletes and in­
dividual walking clubs.
No required distance or
completion of the SK park
course was necessary. No­
body gave speeches or
ried signs. Some wore anti­
violence T-shirts provided by
the shelter but mostly they
held quiet, individual pro"
cessions, mindful of a uni­
fied purpose.
"They can go as little or as
much as they want," Oshel­
ter board member Sharon
Ewell said. "It's symbolic of
our theme to just walk away
from violence. That's what
we hope those who have been
abused will do."
Eegistration was $15 for
adults, $30 for families;
teams of 10 or more were
asked to obtain sponsorships
at $100 each. Prizes were
awarded for top fundrais­
ing efforts.
Organizers hope the walk­
athon will become an annu­
al event. The shelter collabo­
rated with the Blue Knights
Law Enforcement Club in

Pau! D. Camp Community College was established in 1970, opened its Franklin campus in
1971, and launched its workforce development program roughly 10 years ago.
Since the inception of our Regional \Norkforce Development Center, the college has trained tens
of thousands of area residents in a number of highly sought-after fields. These students'
collective efforts have given root to the prosperity of the region and also have created
life-changing and rewarding expen·ences for those taking advantage of the college's workforce
development service. This, of course, is in addition to our many transfer programs and other
degrees and certificates we offer.
