Dead Crows and Blue Jays
West Nile Virus is transmitted to birds and humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms in
birds manifest as neurological signs such as convulsions, tremors, head tilt, wing droop, and
paralysis.
Huron County residents are urged to report all dead crows and blue jays until the first of October.
Crows and blue jays are particularly sensitive to West Nile Virus, so sightings will assist the Health
Unit in mapping out possible West Nile Virus activity in Huron County.
Report dead crows and blue jays to the Huron County Health Unit West Nile Virus 24 hour Info -line at
519-482-3416 Ext. 2001, or if calling long distance, 1-877-837-6143 Ext. 2001.
All other dead birds should be discarded in the following manner:
• place in a double plastic bag, using rubber gloves, a double plastic bag, or a shovel;
• do not touch dead birds with bare hands;
• place the bagged bird out with regular household garbage; and
• wash hands thoroughly.
To find out more, visit www.huroncounty.ca or call the Huron County Health Unit at 519-482-
3416 Ext. 2001 or if calling long distance, dial 1-877-837-6143 Ext. 2001.

SAFETY RECALL
MASTERCRAFT MITRE SAW, MITRE SAW WITH
LASER LINE AND MITRE SAW WITH STAND
Canadian Tire is voluntarily recalling two Mastercraft 10" Compound Mitre Saws, two
Mastercraft 10" Compound Mitre Saws with Laser Line and Mastercraft 10" Compound
Mitre Saw with Stand (Canadian Tire product numbers 55-6802, 55-6895, 55-6893, 55-6821
and 99-7599) due to a potential safety concern. It has been determined that due to a manufac-
turing defect, the aluminium cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw and the
head assembly (containing the blade) may crack under extreme pressure or force causing
a potential safety concern.
While Canadian Tire is not aware of any incidents causing injury, there have been 13 in
which the aluminium cast joint pivot cracked. In four of these instances, the pivot head
broke causing the head to detach from the base.
Canadian Tire is asking customers to discontinue the use of these products immediately
and to return the products to Canadian Tire for a refund.
55-6802
99-7599
How the unit can be identified:
The saws contain a Blue label on the motor housing of the
units. Products included in this recall will have one of five
Canadian Tire product numbers, 55-6802, 55-6895, 55-6893,
55-6821 or 99-7599, followed by a serial number that begins
with the letter 'W' (highlighted in White or Yellow). Only
those saws containing one of the five product numbers, as
well as the letter 'W' are included in this recall.
`Enhanced laser effect.
