Oxford Overhead Door A Name You Can Trust Oxford Overhead Door Co has been in business for over 42 years. We have quality service technicians, quality products and many years and generations of satisfied customers. For a fall tune-up, the garage door experts recommend that you put a light bead of oil on the torsion springs about 3 inches from the ends. Stay away from the cones (the silver ends). Lightly lubricate the rollers and add a drop of oil to the hinges. It is not advisable to change the cables, bottom brackets or torsion springs as there is much torque on these parts and many consumers have been hurt due to inexperience in working with these parts. Visit out Common Problems and Solutions page on-line. If you do not find the answer to your problem, please call or send us an email. We look forward to servicing your needs:

The Mathnasium Method Our approach is to use sophisticated techniques to determine – with great accuracy – what a student knows and does not know. Next, we tailor-make a personalized and prescriptive learning program. Each student follows the program with the help of specially trained Mathnasium math tutors who provide instruction — and lots of warm encouragement. For proof of progress, we rely on the student’s report card, independent tests, and parent testimony, to measure the speed and magnitude of improvement in math skills, numerical thinking, and attitude.
EVALUATE Comprehensive Written and Oral Evaluation. Mathnasium students are given a two-part diagnostic test. The first is a written test designed to assess the student’s weakness with respect to gradelevel material. The second part is a series of oral questions, designed to assess the depth of the student’s understanding of key math concepts and skills.
EDUCATE Customized Program for your
Child. We use the results of our assessment to develop a learning plan and provide curriculum materials which cater to the unique needs of the student. The student is guided by a Mathnasium math tutor when the student visits after school. The curriculum focuses on primarily written materials and mental math, and includes manipulatives when appropriate, and other teaching tools. Learning new concepts is balanced with practicing those that have already been learned. Kids usually “work-out” once or twice a week for about an hour.
VALIDATE Demonstrate – and measure – results. We believe your child’s progress (and improved attitude) will be obvious to you, the parent. But we rely on third party proofs of progress: Report cards and standardized assessments, provided by your child’s school.

Fitness Matters: Ask the Fitness Gal Expert answers to your health and wellness questions By Christine Wierenga
Question: With the weather getting colder (in certain areas) and flu season almost upon us, can you provide a little refresher on working out when you’re sick? Answer: Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this, but here’s the scoop. You often hear people say that working out is fine if it’s just a head cold—stuffy nose, coughing, and other stuff that you don’t like, but can deal with. This is generally true, but if you have a fever, body aches, or other more serious symptoms, you should leave the exercising to the rest of us. This philosophy is actually pretty sound, but consider these issues as well. When I’m working out, I don’t really want people that are sneezing and coughing around me—and I would guess you don’t either. Plus, I like to workout with intensity, and I put a premium on the quality of my exercise. Therefore, I would rather rest up for a day or two, even if I just have a head cold. Then, when I get back to exercising, I can pick-up right where I left off. Ultimately, the decision is in your hands, so do what’s best for you! Question: Can you tell me the main difference between whole grains and refined grains? What are we really talking about here? Answer: The main difference between whole grains and refined grains is the way in
which they’re processed. During milling, whole grains are often stripped of their bran and germ in an effort to make them easier to cook with. The bran is the protective outer layer of the seed, which contains B vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, and the germ is the “embryo” of the seed, which contains even more B vitamins, some minerals, healthy fats, and protein. When these are removed, the endosperm is all that is left, which is primarily just starch. Despite being enriched with some vitamins and minerals, these refined grains lack much of their original nutritional value. In an effort to provide healthier options, more and more companies are pulverizing the entire grain, resulting in what we call whole grain products. These are healthier for you, but you have to be a savvy shopper. Look for whole grains on the food label—ideally, they should appear at the beginning of the ingredient list. If you have more specific questions, be sure to schedule a meeting with a trainer at your local Anytime Fitness. About the author: Christine Wierenga is the Co-owner at Anytime Fitness in Oxford.

You can afford a new kitchen before Christmas Now is a fantastic time to remodel your kitchen or bathroom. “Our cabinet manufacturers, countertop fabricators, and laborers, have all reduced their pricing,” said Jonny Brett, Oxford Kitchen & Bath owner. “Which allows us to offer our most competitive prices ever to our customers.” According to Bree, “An up-to-date remodeled kitchen has a great impact on the entire house. No other room in the house gets the attention that a kitchen does. And, it is a great way to increase the chances of selling your house. Just replacing your cabinets and countertops, while keeping the same layout, can be all that is needed to create that new kitchen. Even if your budget only allows for new countertops, it can dramatically change the overall look of your kitchen. With endless color choices & styles in cabinetry & countertops, there is sure to
The best keeps getting better! It’s not very hard to figure out why our residents are smiling here at Independence Village of Waterstone. Let’s see…if you had great meals prepared for you, everyday and dined with all of your friends in an elegant dining room, your housekeeping and linen service taken care and a full calendar of fun and exciting activities planned for you, all this, while surrounded by people that truly care for you; you would be smiling too. That’s just what our residents at Independence Village have come to expect and enjoy each day. It is our goal and mission to provide the best customer service in the industry and make each and every resident feel special, surrounded by ‘family’ and truly at home. Every member of our staff realizes that it is not an easy transition for our residents to move from a home that they may have lived in for years and years and often times raised their families. I have witnessed this initial angst so many times in my tenure in this industry and the outcome is the same every time; they are so happy and they never regret making it. (Actually, many of our residents wished they had moved sooner!)
We are so excited and proud to announce the newest member of our Independence Village of Waterstone family, Thomas Guitar, our new General Manager. Thomas was previously employed with a community in the Shelby Township area and has brought with him, many great and exciting ideas to our community; some of which have already been implemented. Thomas shares our mission that customer service is our number one goal, and in his short time with us, it is very evident that he committed to that goal. He knows most every resident by name and we often see him giving them a warm hug or a friendly hello and our residents have already embraced Thomas as part of their ‘family’ now too. Stop by and see for yourself why Independence Village of Waterstone is such a great place to live. Or call to find out about our exciting upcoming November events and inquire about our Manager’s Special for a limited time only that you will not want to miss out on. Please call Patti or Lisa at 248-236-8300 for more details. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Cash, gifts for the holidays The holidays are less than two months away and the We Buy It Buy & Sell Center in Oxford is ready to help area residents, make times brighter. They can help with holiday purchases and gift giving by both buying unwanted items and selling great-conditioned merchandise. Opened this year, they are already a popular business in town. “When you stop in,” co-owner Kevin Rowden said, “you’ll see why we are the fastest growing buyer in the area.” Their inventory is quite extensive and holiday shoppers should take a peek before heading out to the malls. “We specialize in anything from musical instruments, tools, modern electronics, gaming systems, furniture, antiques -- we’ve have been quite pleased
with our inventory,” Kevin said. Rowden and his brother, Greg Rowden, are both fully licensed to buy 10k through 24k and dental gold. “Right now is a great time with great opportunities to make some extra cash for the holidays. Folks can bring in any scrap gold, regardless of condition. We’ll evaluate it and pay them top dollar for it,” Kevin said. The Buy & Sell Center also buys and sells silver coins and bullion, “Even entire coin collections,” Kevin added. We Buy It Buy & Sell Center is located on the west side of M-24 (650 S. Lapeer Road), next to the Oxford Leader building, south of downtown Oxford. They are open Monday thru Friday, 10 to 6; Saturday, 10-3. For more information call 248-236-0869.
