The staff at OXB would like to congratulate Harry Davis on his recent retirement from the Oxford Fire Department.  Harry served this department for 48 years and at a special lunch on Monday, April 14 Oxford's Mayor Keebler noted to his knowledge Mr. Davis was the longest serving member of the fire department.  At this lunch Mayor Keebler also presented Harry with a Proclamation naming his day, an engraved clock and thanked him for his years of service.  He noted that Harry was one of the most dependable volunteer firefighters and over the 48 years he responded to thousands of calls day and night, large and small.  Thank you Harry for your strong commitment to our community.  It is people like you that help to make Oxford a great place to call home.

Last November, the main FBI.gov website headline was “DNS Malware: Is Your Computer Infected?”. The story detailed the arrest of six Estonian criminals who had infected more than 4 million computers with malware that changed Domain Name Server settings on the impacted computers.

This story has received considerable media attention recently. On July 9, 2012, computers still impacted by the DNSChanger malware may lose Internet connectivity.  You can check http://www.dns-ok.us/ to see if your home computer is affected by this malware.
