Windows need a cleaning???

Today I had my windows cleaned by a University student who has taken this up as a side job along with a friend of his.  They were recommend to me by my cousin and I was so shocked by the price I had to call for myself.  He gave me a rough price over the phone and less than a week later here he was cleaning all my windows: inside, outside, screen and sills, including all basement and garage windows for under $200!! 

If you're looking for someone to take care of the dirty work call Zori owner of:

Nova Steel is Coming to Woodstock

A major player in the North American steel industry is coming to Woodstock and is in hiring mode.

Nova Steel has acquired the former Hobart Brothers industrial building on Pattullo Ave.

It's an expansive 148-thousand square foot building. But it looks like they're looking for more room, as construction crews are at the site, grading land on the south side of the building. (Pictured right) The expansion is said to be adding another 25,000 square feet to the facility.

Another positive test for West Nile

The second positive test for West Nile was found in a Woodstock trap, the first result was from a mosquito trap in Ingersoll last month.

To help control the mosquito population, Oxford County Public Health & Emergency Services is increasing mosquito surveillance and have begun larvaciding public catch basins.

This another that we need to protect ourselves and young ones against mosquito's this can be done by using bug repellent with DEET, searing light-coloured clothing, and wearing long sleeves and pants when mosquitoes are most active.  Also remember to reduce the amount of outside standing water to help limit mosquito breeding grounds
