Confessions of a City Boy The Legend of Daddy’s Heat Gun!
Each week, we’re proud and delighted that more and morepeople from all corners of the globe are reading the IslandClippings online! We now have regular readers throughoutNorth and South America, the Near East, the Far East and alldegrees of North and South.
One of those readers is our daughter Jessica. She and herfamily live in Beamsville, in the heart of the Niagara winecountry, although their hearts too are closely connected to St.Joseph Island.
I’m used to thinking of my poor, long-suffering wife Heather,dutifully living with and through my occasional acts oflunacy, although I prefer to think of them more positively as‘maybe not the rightest or brightest that I’ve ever been’. But, itnever occurred to me that our dear daughter also had to growup in the shadow of her demented Daddy’s acts of madness.
And now I know that the poor girl has been scarred for life!
It all started to come out in our lasttelephone conversation, where shecommented on my ‘Guide to HomeTools’ (see Issue # 780, December 30,2010) and asked why I had notincluded another of my favouriteimplements of destruction: the HeatGun!
I mumbled something unintelligibleand tried to change the subject, butshe wouldn’t let me off the hook! Yousee, I try to not think of that tool anymore! The memory is still too raw andpainful! But I did promise Jessica that
I’d ‘come clean’ so pull up a chair, get comfy, and I’ll tell youabout the ^$%& Heat Gun! Jessica, dear, this one’s for you!
There’s really not that much of a story to the Heat Gun ….for those of you who aren’t familiar with hi-tech, precisiontools, the Heat Gun is like a souped up hairdryer, but with anattitude. Although this bad boy is capable of so much, it’susually confined to things like stripping wallpaper and othersomewhat boring and uneventful activities. It puts out awhole whacking LOT of heat, concentrated in a small area. Itwas just a matter of time before I graduated from sissifieduses like stripping wallpaper, to more manly, heavier dutyapplications! It’s kind of like an alien death ray gun. Andperhaps that’s when things started to go wrong.
It started out simply enough …. after a particularly nasty icestorm a few years back, I was trying to clear the ice off thesteps of our back deck, so our dog could get from the deck tothe yard and back without risking a mortal injury. My snow
shovel wasn’t cutting through the ice,nor was my ice scraper. I didn’t want toput rock salt down for fear of hurtingour little guy’s paws … and then thelightbulb came on. The Heat Gun! Thevoices in my head all started chantingin unison: “Get the Heat Gun! Get theHeat Gun!”
I dropped my ineffective ice scraper incontempt and scurried back into thegarage to bring out my secret weaponfor winning the war with the ice. Andthe ice just didn’t stand a chance!Within mere seconds, I had the ice

melting on the stairs! But then, the melted ice left pools of water on the steps, so Izapped THEM with the Heat Gun, quickly and efficiently evaporating them intosteam. Then, I kept the Heat Gun on the newly-dried spot for a minute or two, to getany leftover moisture out of the wood itself.
I was a happy, happy guy as my Search and Destroy mission quickly expanded fromdoing the ice-clad stairs onto the deck itself. Before I knew it, I had de-iced and de-watered more than half of our 20’ x 40’ deck! Awesome! Then I turned around …. Iwon’t make a big deal of this next part, but did you know that even frozen wood, ifyou put enough heat on it, will catch fire????? Let it suffice to say that now I know too,and I hope that the new owners of our former home are enjoying their new deck!
And speaking of the new owners brings me to the last time that Jessica was on hand towitness the lethal Heat Gun in action. Before moving permanently to our formercamp on the Island, we had to sell our house in Niagara. “How hard could that be?” Ismugly asked myself! After all, it’s a fabulous house; not overly fancy, but large, roomy,well built and well-situated in a pastoral rural setting. We had a pond, a pool and allkinds of nifty things. But strangely enough, the people coming to look at the housewere all nervous about living out of town. After several disappointments, we thenheard about a family coming to see the house, who actually wanted a rural property!Finally!
With the appointment for the viewing approaching, thanks to Heather’s slave-driving,the house was perfect ….except for one little detail that irritated me. The living room,which faces the street, features a very large picture window. Although the window wasdouble-paned thermal glass, it had lost its moisture seal and there was annoyingcondensation built up between the thermal panes, right smack in the middle of theotherwise panoramic window.
We had tried, without success, to fix the problem without actually having to replacethe very expensive window. Nothing worked. With ‘zero hour’ approaching and myfrustration mounting, I wanted to take one last shot at even temporarily fixing theproblem. With a steely, determined ‘don’t mess with me’ look in my eyes, I went to getthe Heat Gun into the action!
It seemed like a good idea at the time. All I’d have to do is one or two quick passesover the window, and the pesky condensation would evaporate, just like the ice on thedeck – although hopefully without the other ‘complications’!
And Land ‘O Goshen, it worked like a charm! The condensation quickly dried up,leaving no sign that there had ever been any problem ….. except for the brand new, 5foot long spiderweb of cracks I’d created, by blowing high degrees of concentratedheat on the cold window glass. Who knew! Well, apparently both Heather and Jessica

did, if I’d only asked them. Hmmph!
So there it is, folks! Now you can surely understand why Ichose NOT to include the Heat Gun in my previous ‘know-it-all’ article on tools. Something like that, with such a highchance of being used for evil instead of good if put into thewrong hands, simply had no place in my otherwise knowl-edgeable and helpful hints for successful homehandymanism. You can surely understand that, right? Andclearly, Jessica has never gotten over that last episode.
I hope that bringing this ugly issue into the open will providesome kind of healing for her, and she might someday getover her deep-seated fear of power tools. If not, I can surelyadd to her therapy by bringing more of my many misadven-tures from the days of her childhood formative years, outinto the light of day.
For example, did you know that for the past 31 years, there’sbeen a strict rule in our family that I’m forbidden to do anyplumbing jobs on Sundays? I’ll tell you why, someday.

SAH Plummer Site Will Handle ALC Patients
THE SAULT AREA HOSPITAL will receive an additional$6.5 million in funding, to allow continued care for AlternateLevel of Care (ALC) patients at its Plummer site. The fundingwill allow SAH to set aside 68 ALC beds in the Plummerbuilding, while the balance of health care services will moveMarch 6th to the new hospital location at Great NorthernRoad and Third Line West.
It’s welcome news indeed! The Sault Area Hospital has beenchronically over-crowded as ALC patients take up bed spacethat’s also needed for other medical patients. This week, SAHreported that 27 patients were being kept in the EmergencyDepartment, waiting for a bed to become available. Theshortage of bed space has also resulted in the cancellation orre-scheduling of several elective surgeries and other treat-ments.
“Today’s announcement represents another step forward inour government’s efforts to provide the most appropriate levelof care for our seniors and, combined with the developmentof a new $40 million state-of-the-art 256 bed long-term carehome, we are continuing to make significant progress,” saidDavid Orazietti, MPP. “These steps will further reduce pres-sure at the Sault Area Hospital and, most importantly, help toensure residents get the dignity, respect and quality of life theydeserve.”
“This solution to help relieve ALC pressures in our commu-nity is focused on the needs of people and patients,” said PeterVaudry, Interim Chair of the North East Local Health Integra-tion Network (NE LHIN). “The use of the Plummer Site tocare for ALC patients will greatly assist the Sault Area Hospitalin implementing their hospital improvement plan, balancingtheir operations, and providing quality patient care in a brandnew state-of-the art facility.”
The provincial government is also investing in ‘Aging atHome’ initiatives that help seniors prevent unnecessary emer-gency room visits through an increase in home care supportprograms, assisted living services and community-based serv-ices, such as help with transportation, personal hygiene andmeal preparation.
Some of the most recent investments include:
• $1,005,200 for Sault Area Hospital to further reduce waittimes in the ER
• $646,777 for Sault Area Hospital to create an Assess andRestore Unit – New for 2010
• $475,000 for Extendicare/Tendercare – Nurse Practitionerin LTC Homes

The right to defend yourselfI was dismayed to see that the trend to eliminate a person’sright to self-defense in Canadian law continues unabated. IanThomson from Port Colborne was awakened one morningrecently by 3 masked men who were firebombing his housewith 6 Molotov cocktails while he was sleeping inside. Video-tape captured the 3 men in the act, screaming curses as theycallously tried to burn down Mr. Thomson’s house.
Mr. Thomson, a former firearms instructor, fired severalwarning shots with his revolver and scared the men awaybefore they could seriously injure or kill him. He later turnedthe videotape over to the police who then, on the orders of theCrown attorney, arrested not only the firebombers but Mr.Thomson as well. According to his lawyer the Crown is seekinga jail term for Mr. Thomson! No word as to whether he’s alsoseeking jail for the firebombers.
This response by the police and the Crown reveals that there issomething wrong with Canadian law or its application bythose who enforce it. Anyone watching the video of the attackwould know who the real criminals were in this incident, butthe police and the Crown chose to ignore common sense andarrested the guy who was simply defending himself and hisproperty.
One might argue that the use of a firearm to scare the attackersis what makes the arrest reasonable. I believe that would befaulty reasoning. First, Mr. Thomson was attacked with lethalforce and the law allows him the right to counter with lethalforce. Mr. Thomson actually ought to be commended for onlyfiring warning shots to scare off the attackers rather thanhitting them.
Second, police often even arrest a defender who only uses hisbare hands. Some may remember the Bill Montague case inSault Ste Marie in which he was charged for defending himselfwith one punch from a man who attacked Bill after he inter-vened to protect a woman from physical abuse by that sameman. Before being acquitted, Bill had to spend a lot of timeand money defending himself from charges that never shouldhave been laid in the first place.
Canadian law has increasingly shown a tendency to rewardirresponsibility and punish responsibility. If you are a genuinecriminal you are assumed to be that way because of forcesbeyond your control and every effort is made to accommodateyour proclivities. On the other hand a law-abiding citizen whois forced to defend himself or others from a real criminal oftenreceives no mercy from police or the Crown. Many Canadiancases prove that fact, including the arrest of David Chen for
carrying out a citizen’s arrest of a thief last summer. The Crown actually gave the thiefa deal to testify against the victim of the theft!
The right to defend oneself should be a given and in the Thomson case, unless there ismore to the story than meets the eye, the Crown and police appear to have once againinterpreted the law in a way that erodes rather than reinforces public confidence.

An old man lived alone in Idaho. Hewanted to spade his potato garden, but itwas very hard work. His only son, Jerry,
who used to help him, was in prison.The old man wrote a letter to his son
and described his predicament.
Dear Jerry:I am feeling pretty bad because it lookslike I won’t be able to plant my potato
garden this year. I’m just getting too oldto be digging up a garden plot. If you
were here, all my troubles would be over.I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad
A few days later, he received a letterfrom his son.
Dear Dad:For heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig upthat garden. That’s where I buried the
BODIES.Love, Jerry
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agentsand local Police showed up and dug up
the entire area without finding anybodies. They apologized to the old man
and left.
That same day, the old man receivedanother letter from his son.
Dear Dad:Go ahead and plant the potatoes now.
It’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Jerry

Thanks to Dawn Tweedle for sending this one to us. It made uschuckle.
As a trucker stops for a red light, a girl driving behind himcatches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck,and knocks on the door.
The trucker lowers the window, and she says “Hi, my nameis Fiona and you are losing some of your load.”
The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.
When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catchesup again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks onthe door.
Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've neverspoken, the girl says brightly, “Hi my name is Fiona, and youare losing some of your load!”
Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again andcontinues down the street.
At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All outof breath, the girl gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on thetruck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again shesays “Hi, my name is Fiona, and you are losing some of yourload!”
When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races tothe next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets outof the truck, and runs back to the girl. He knocks on herwindow, and after she lowers it, he says...
“Hi, my name is Mark, it’s winter in CANADA and I’mdriving the SALT TRUCK!”
