Man sad to hear this news. I was a fan and saw the band at Exhibition Place many moons ago - must have been 1980 or 1981. They were ahead of their time. Any other fans out there? RIP Teenage Head's Frankie Venom 10/16/2008 By Brock Thiessen Today Canada mourns the death of one of its true punk rock legends — Frank Kerr, aka Frankie Venom, lead singer of Hamilton punk pioneers Teenage Head. Band-mate Gord Lewis announced Wednesday (October 15) that Kerr had passed away due to natural causes. He was 51. Teenage Head formed at Hamilton’s Westdale High School back in 1975. By the early ’80s they became one the country’s most beloved punk bands, with many dubbing them Canada’s answer to the Ramones. In recent years, the band reignited their punk rock fires and recorded an album with Marky Ramone, simply dubbed Teenage Head with Marky Ramone, a 2008 collection of re-worked material from various points in Teenage Head’s career. Even as recent as this summer, Teenage Head were actively touring Canada. In a May 2008 interview with Exclaim!, Lewis, Teenage Head’s guitar player, said Kerr and the band had begun writing an upcoming album of new material. At this point, however, it is too early to say what will become of that material, or if the band had a chance to enter the studio to put it to tape. http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarti...&fid1=34185

OBIT from the Star.... The "great outdoors" is only a phrase to most of us. To John Power, it was his second home. An avid hunter and fisherman, Power wrote about his adventures in the Canadian wilderness in a popular weekly freelance column from 1970 to 2000 in the Toronto Star. His beloved outdoors not only provided sustenance to hunters like himself who lived off the land but it also inspired Power's boundless energy in promoting conservation. He died Wednesday in Brampton. He was 75. Whether regaling readers about a hunting expedition, plugging wetlands causes or sniping at anti-gun advocates, Power's passion for nature leapt off the page because he was such a compelling writer, said Star sports columnist Dave Perkins, a former sports editor. "His politics and his causes may not have had the traction two and three decades ago that they would now, but John expressed himself so well that his column was always a terrific read, even if the subject seemed not to apply directly to city folk," Perkins said. For instance, Power would call a downed moose "bush beef." He wrote about a hunt required to rid a town of marauding bears and his first sentence was, "Trouble is bruin." He also pooh-poohed forecasts that pollution was killing fishing "glory holes" and challenged the scientists with, "This piscatorial pundit predicts tight lines in the millennium." Add this to Power's list of pretty good stuff: "The yodel of dogs on a hot trail is beautiful music to a houndman's ears." "I don't know how many houndmen there are out there, but the houndmen, the hunters, fishermen and those who love and respect the environment and the outdoor life couldn't have asked for a better friend or advocate than John Power," Perkins said. "He lived the life, which is one reason he wrote about it so well. He's also the only guy I ever knew who owned a mink necktie." Power was a member of numerous conservation groups, including Ducks Unlimited, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, organizations responsible for the wall full of awards and honours Power won during his writing career. Power's son Gavin said his father had been in a nursing home for about six months after a series of small strokes. Power was predeceased by his wife, Jean, in 1996. He is survived by five children and eight grandchildren. A private family funeral will be held in Beaverton, Ont., with a public memorial service at 2 p.m. on Oct. 8 at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Beaverton.

Thanks for the report douG I was wondering how it went. Glad you got some nice weather and some fish. How was the site? Nemo

Just got some feedback from some experts. They are Coleman Quick-Lite 327 models made in October 1932 in Toronto. I plan to try and fire them up on Thanksgiving for their 76th birthday. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thought this post might strike a chord. For those of you wishing to identify your lanterns and other Coleman items see this site. http://terrence.marsh.faculty.noctrl.edu/lantern/index.htm He has a historical listing with pictures of most if not all of Coleman's products. Doug I did not know you were so fluent in Finnish. Nemo

Hi just thought I would post some pics of an old Coleman Lantern I found up at the cottage. I have been researching them and as close as I can tell they are either model 427 or 327 and date from the 30's or 40's. I am working with another site that specializes in Coleman lanterns to get a positive ID. The globe is made from mica and they are stamped as made in Toronto. The Coleman site is at Coleman Site The lantern was my wife's grandfathers and was used on hunting trips. I would love to have heard the stories told around this lamp. Anyone have any old lanterns/stoves they still use?

Alright enough with the shenanigans...looks like that fish is trained. Lew must be like some kind of Musky Whisperer. The fish hangs out in the same spot. Lew whistles and the thing jumps in the boat for a picture. It's this kind of thing that gives fishermen a bad name.... ' ' ' ' ' ' ' LOL - Just Kidding Great fish Misty glad your boyt got to see you guys in action. BTW can I borrow your horseshoe...

Thanks for the info. He was in a 12 foot tinny with 4 stroke Merc. Did he have a dog? Two kids eldest boy and younger girl. You know the fish are up high when you're catching Bass and Trout on the riggers. I caught a few tags but always released them. Nemo

Hey Ice, Great report I was talking to a buddy of mine who was on Opeongo the same time. He was doing OK as well and concurs that the most were being taken in the 25 foot depth range. One question was that Bass caught off the downrigger? Beauty fish great photos. Thanks for sharing. Nemo
