Hazzard County royalty hits Toronto

John Schneider, aka Bo Duke, and the General Lee
headline the Motion Custom Car Show

TV show Dukes of Hazzard made John Schneider and the Dodge Charger famous.

Just good old boys, never meanin' no harm – and 30 years later, The Dukes of Hazzard is still immensely popular. Next weekend, Bo Duke – or rather, actor John Schneider – will be featured at Motion Custom Car Show, in the Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place.The show will also include appearances by Stacey David, host of Speed TV's GearZ, as well as some 185 hot rods, muscle cars, trucks and tuner cars. Using the name of a Toronto show from the 1970s, Motion takes over from Speedorama, which marked its final edition in January 2008.It's a rare appearance for Schneider, who kept busy post-Dukes with roles on Smallville and Nip/Tuck, numerous other shows and films, and a recording career.

He'll be alongside a "General Lee" from the Canadian Dukes of Hazzard Museum,

based near Windsor.

"I honestly didn't think the Dukes would live this long," Schneider says. "(Now) I don't think they'll ever go away."The show ran from 1979 to 1985, and was loosely based on actual moonshine runners. They used a 1958 Chrysler dubbed Traveler, after Confederate general Robert E. Lee's horse. For Bo and Luke Duke, it became a 1969 Dodge Charger named for Lee himself.The initial script specified "Confederate grey" paint, but show-car builder George Barris warned against it. "He said that makes historical sense, but imagine a grey car running through the hills of Georgia in November," Schneider says. "You'd never see it. It had to be a colour that any shade-tree mechanic would have in abundance, and that was engine-paint orange. People argue about the actual colour of the General Lee, but it was whatever Warner Brothers had. Hugger Orange, Hemi Orange, engine block orange – they mixed it all up in a trash can."None of the paint jobs were any good. With some of the flags, the white around them was done in medical tape when they didn't have anything else."With only four cars for the earliest shows, they were beaten up during the day and quickly repaired at night for the next day's filming.Schneider says 329 Chargers were used over six years. Cars would be fixed several times, and then used for "jumps" that would finish them off, much to the dismay of collectors today. "But if we hadn't wrecked all of those cars, nothing would have happened," he says. "Nobody today would ever have heard of a 1969 Charger."If Schneider's role was smashing them, Stacey David's is putting them together. Previously the host of the show Trucks!, he now builds cars on GearZ. Unlike many celebrity builders, he loves the unusual and the low-dollar, including a 1932 Ford and "Banshee" that he plans to bring to the show – a tribute to the AC Cobra, but built on a Mazda Miata."We're not reinventing the wheel here," he says. "We're going into one of the most iconic builders ever, Carroll Shelby. He took a British sissy car – nobody drove an AC Ace – because that was all he could get, and he created the Cobra. Now we fast-forward 40 years to this Japanese car. I got this one off eBay for $2,500. I used the best stuff, and the cost of the car still rolls in only around $20,000. The engine's about 400 horsepower. You don't have to spend a lot of money."I don't care what Barrett-Jackson says about the value of a car. They were built to drive."David loves to talk to fans about their vehicles. "My show is not me showing you what I can do so you can be amazed, it's about me showing you what you can do," he says. "We're all just car guys. Pull out your pictures, and let's see what you've got."Show manager Gary Wallace promises a Hemi-powered 1941 Willys, a 2009 Dodge Challenger that competed in Targa Newfoundland, a selection of 1930s cars from Canadian craftsman John St. Germain, replicas of the Knight Rider car and a Corvette display.The show runs March 27-29; for information,

Thanks Paul.
Thanks to all who written and gave their symphaties. Also all who lost a love one tby this nasty deceased, Ioffer my symphaties as well. It is hard to watch, but its even worst to have it. My mom couldn't bare the pain any longer, but still she was good to all and said thank to us, the doctors and nurses who where there to help her and who we told her said to say hi and prayed for her. She would still make sarcastic jokes til she became to weak to speak, about 3 days before her death. She is in heaven now with god, the angels, and all she lost throughout her life. Again Thank you all

It saddens me to say mom has passed away this saturday morning around 3am. Her suffering has finally ended. She was in a lot of pain and many times said she could no longer handle the pain, and hated that she had to go tru all of this and hated to see us suffering too over her pain. All the nurses loved her as well, saying she was a very good woman, even through her pain, she kept saying thank you and treating every one like she always did, with love and respect and she got that from all who met her and loved her. Mom Rest In Peace Ghislain

Yes sure. thanks for being there. as hard as it was to see her go, it was seeing her sufffering and in agony that was the worst. We all felt so helpless as we could see her in so much pain but yet we could not do anything about it, but watch and be with her and try to make her comfortable. Since we came down, she was with family 24 hours a day. We left her last night at 11 pm, all exhausted and knew she might go at anytime or day, from what the nurses said. Again Thank you G

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

------------------------------------------------

This year Paul Harrington of Ruscom Station, ( Ontario, Canada ) his wife Cheryl, and son Lance Brown, along with family members and some very close friends, have united to put together one of the best events in Southern Ontario, maybe even one of the best events in Canada.

It's the Hair Dare Dukes Weekend, a Car Show, Swap Meet and Cut-A-Thon Cancer Benefit, scheduled for Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24 at the Leamington Fairgrounds, with a special dinner event on Friday, August 22 between 3:00 PM TO ??. This year is the sixth year for the Hair Dare event, which celebrates the classic TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard" as its theme.

"The reason I keep this event going is it is the only way that I know I can help make a little bit of a difference," Harrington says. "We can share our feelings with others about this SICKNESS, because at least 90 percent of the population out there knows someone that has died from CANCER."

Though he began the event in 2003 in honour of his mother, a cancer survivor, this year is even more meaningful for Harrington. "In February of this year, we lost another great man, my boss of almost 11 years and close family friend Steve Stowe, to this dreadful disease we call "CANCER". What hurts me the most, Steve was the only reason I became a licensed automotive technician, and during his short stay in the hospital we talked about a lot of things. I mentioned to Steve what we were planning this year as a charity, and he said "THAT'S GREAT, PAUL". I will remember those words for as long as I live."
A special memorial will be held for Steve Stowe on the Sunday of the event, at 2 p.m. at the fairgrounds.

The past five years of the Hair Dare event have raised more than $28,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

For this year's event, Harrington and his sister, Debra-Ann Taylor of Tilbury, contacted St. Clair College to start a Scholarship Fund for a Student Surviving Cancer. The scholarship will be put into place with the help of Susan Maxwell, executive director of the St. Clair College Foundation, Windsor, and Lynn McGeachy Schultz, director of advancement at Thames Campus, Chatham.

"I think this was a great choice that we made," Harrington says. "At least we can see where the money is going, and it will be helping a local student that is SURVIVING CANCER."

Part of the way the event raises money is through pledges for "Hair Dares" -- when participants vow to daringly Cut or Shave their hair for the cause. Haircuts on Saturday will be provided by Estelle's Affordable Hair Cuts from Chatham, and on Sunday hair cuts will be provided by Mastercuts of the Devonshire Mall. "Thanks so much for their time; it is greatly appreciated," Harrington says.

The Saturday morning of the event starts with a "PARADE OF ALL CARS." Participants should meet at the Comfort Inn in Leamington at 8 a.m. The parade route is from the Comfort Inn to the Leamington Fairgrounds. "Special thanks to the Leamington Police for their help this year," Harrington says.

There will be several special guests at this year's event. Don Pedro Colley, who portrayed Sheriff Ed Little on "The Dukes," will sign autographs and chat with fans. He'll be joined by Byron Cherry, who played Coy Duke in the series.

Felix Silla, a prolific classic TV actor who portrayed the Alien Visitor in the "Dukes" episode "Strange Visitor to Hazzard," will appear for the first time at the event. Silla also played Cousin Itt on "The Addams Family," and was Twiki on "Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century." He also portrayed an Ewok on "Star Wars," and appeared in "The Planet of the Apes" and "Batman Returns."

All the actors will be signing photos and other items all weekend long, and there will be a lot of photo opportunities for the fans, Harrington says.
Also appearing at the event will be Billie Rae Bates of Atlanta, Georgia, author of the "Them Dukes! Them Dukes!" reference guide. Will Rodgers, aka "THE VOICE MAN," of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be returning to warm the crowds again.

"Will's voice impersonations are just overwhelming, from all of the 'Dukes' casts members to the 'All in the Family' theme song," Harrington says. "Wow, he's just incredible."

Billy Stephenson will be making his way on stage, all the way from Georgia also, just a few hours from where the 'Dukes' started out.

"We have a few extras who were in the 'Dukes of Hazzard' 2005 movie that will be here as well," Harrington says, including himself. He's been a lifelong "Dukes" fan and not only owns his own General Lee, a 1969 Dodge Charger painted orange, but also Hazzard County Sheriff's cars from both the series and the 2005 movie. Currently He is building a Monster 4x4 General Lee, and a Cooter Tow Truck. He's collected "Dukes" memorabilia -- including genuine props from the filming of the series, and the 2005 Dukes Movie for many years.

Other events planned for the Hair Dare Dukes Weekend include the Smack A Wreck, a Daisy Duke look-alike contest, and the dunk tank will keep everyone busy, even a Silent Auction. The Memphis Kings, a band from Essex County, will be on stage Saturday, and Country Singer "Traci Kennedy" from St. Thomas will be appearing on Sunday. There will be plenty to see and do for the 2 full days of family fun and entertainment.

"A special thanks goes out to all the local newspapers that help us put this out in print so the public can read about this event," Harrington says.

Admission to Saturday and Sunday of the event is only $3 per person. The Leamington Fairgrounds are located at 194 Erie Street North in Leamington. Tickets for Friday night's Dinner With the Stars, at $25 each, are now available: call 519-975-0056 to reserve yours.

Harrington would also like to thank all of the event sponsors, because without their support this event would not take place,
