10 U.S. Code § 2319 - Encouragement of new competitors
(a) In this section, the term "qualification requirement" means a requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration that must be completed by an offeror before award of a contract.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), the head of the agency shall, before establishing a qualification requirement—
(1) prepare a written justification stating the necessity for establishing the qualification requirement and specify why the qualification requirement must be demonstrated before contract award;
(2) specify in writing and make available to a potential offeror upon request all requirements which a prospective offeror, or its product, must satisfy in order to become qualified, such requirements to be limited to those least restrictive to meet the purposes necessitating the establishment of the qualification requirement;
(3) specify an estimate of the costs of testing and evaluation likely to be incurred by a potential offeror in order to become qualified;
(4) ensure that a potential offeror is provided, upon request and on a reimbursable basis, a prompt opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards specified for qualification using qualified personnel and facilities of the agency concerned or of another agency obtained through interagency agreement, or under contract, or other methods approved by the agency (including use of approved testing and evaluation services not provided under contract to the agency);
(5) if testing and evaluation services are provided under contract to the agency for the purposes of clause (4), provide to the extent possible that such services be provided by a contractor who is not expected to benefit from an absence of additional qualified sources and who shall be required in such contract to adhere to any restriction on technical data asserted by the potential offeror seeking qualification; and
(1) Subsection (b) of this section does not apply with respect to a qualification requirement established by statute or administrative action before October 19, 1984, unless such requirement is a qualified products list.
(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), if it is unreasonable to specify the standards for qualification which a prospective offeror or its product must satisfy, a determination to that effect shall be submitted to the advocate for competition of the procuring activity responsible for the purchase of the item subject to the qualification requirement. After considering any comments of the advocate for competition reviewing such determination, the head of the purchasing office may waive the requirements of clauses (2) through (6) of subsection (b) for up to two years with respect to the item subject to the qualification requirement.
(3) A potential offeror may not be denied the opportunity to submit and have considered an offer for a contract solely because the potential offeror
(A) is not on a qualified bidders list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified products list, or
(B) has not been identified as meeting a qualification requirement established after October 19, 1984, if the potential offeror can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the contracting officer (or, in the case of a contract for the procurement of an aviation critical safety item or ship critical safety item, the head of the design control activity for such item) that the potential offeror or its product meets the standards established for qualification or can meet such standards before the date specified for award of the contract.
(4) Nothing contained in this subsection requires the referral of an offer to the Small Business Administration pursuant to section 8(b)(7) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637 (b)(7)) if the basis for the referral is a challenge by the offeror to either the validity of the qualification requirement or the offeror's compliance with such requirement.
(5) The head of an agency need not delay a proposed procurement in order to comply with subsection (b) or in order to provide a potential offeror with an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to meet the standards specified for qualification.
(1) If the number of qualified sources or qualified products available to compete actively for an anticipated future requirement is fewer than two actual manufacturers or the products of two actual manufacturers, respectively, the head of the agency concerned shall—
(A) periodically publish notice in the Commerce Business Daily soliciting additional sources or products to seek qualification, unless the contracting officer determines that such publication would compromise national security; and
(B) bear the cost of conducting the specified testing and evaluation (excluding the costs associated with producing the item or establishing the production, quality control, or other system to be tested and evaluated) for a small business concern or a product manufactured by a small business concern which has met the standards specified for qualification and which could reasonably be expected to compete for a contract for that requirement, but such costs may be borne only if the head of the agency determines that such additional qualified sources or products are likely to result in cost savings from increased competition for future requirements sufficient to amortize the costs incurred by the agency within a reasonable period of time considering the duration and dollar value of anticipated future requirements.
(e) Within seven years after the establishment of a qualification requirement under subsection (b) or within seven years following an agency's enforcement of a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, any such qualification requirement shall be examined and revalidated in accordance with the requirements of subsection (b). The preceding sentence does not apply in the case of a qualification requirement for which a waiver is in effect under subsection (c)(2).
(f) Except in an emergency as determined by the head of the agency, whenever the head of the agency determines not to enforce a qualification requirement for a solicitation, the agency may not thereafter enforce that qualification requirement unless the agency complies with the requirements of subsection (b).
(g) Definitions.— In this section:
(1) The term "aviation critical safety item" means a part, an assembly, installation equipment, launch equipment, recovery equipment, or support equipment for an aircraft or aviation weapon system if the part, assembly, or equipment contains a characteristic any failure, malfunction, or absence of which could cause a catastrophic or critical failure resulting in the loss of or serious damage to the aircraft or weapon system, an unacceptable risk of personal injury or loss of life, or an uncommanded engine shutdown that jeopardizes safety.
(2) The term "ship critical safety item" means any ship part, assembly, or support equipment containing a characteristic the failure, malfunction, or absence of which could cause a catastrophic or critical failure resulting in loss of or serious damage to the ship or unacceptable risk of personal injury or loss of life.
(3) The term "design control activity", with respect to an aviation critical safety item or ship critical safety item, means the systems command of a military department that is specifically responsible for ensuring the airworthiness of an aviation system or equipment, or the seaworthiness of a ship or ship equipment, in which such item is to be used.

Collapse (2009)
Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new president will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Meet Michael Ruppert, a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial.

I've been fishing four times over the last year. And I must confess, the only fish I've hooked have been mental. As in, in my mind.
I had a monstrous 14 inch rainbow trout swim right by my Powerbait. And I imagined it taking a bite of my hook. But nnnnnnooooo.
To salve my fishing nerves, I watched this video by Van Hughes and his friend Sarah. It was filmed in Cherry Grove in Myrtle Beach. And in it, Sarah loses a 5lb red drum to a bull shark. You read that right, a bull shark. Caution, standby for some explosive f-bombs. Sarah lets lose on a stream of them. I don't blame her. As far as I can tell, it was not photoshopped. The team rehooks the shark here. . .

Weather Folklore
- If the geese on St. Martin's Day (November 11) stand on ice, they will walk in mud at Christmas.
- If the first snow sticks to the trees, it foretells a bountiful harvest.
- If sheep feed facing downhill, watch for a snowstorm.
- If on All Saints Day the beech acorn is dry we will stick behind the stove in winter, but if it is wet and not light the winter will not be dry, but wet.
- Thunder in November indicates a fertile year to come.
- If there be ice in November that will bear a duck, there will be nothing thereafter but sleet and muck.
- As November 21st, so the winter.
- When the winter is early, it will not be late.

OGDENSBURG A few months after Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center broke ground on a $4.7 million addition to the Richard E. Winter Cancer Treatment Center, the Claxton-Hepburn Foundation is undertaking a major fundraising campaign to support the center.
The addition will house a Trilogy linear accelerator that will give the cancer treatment center the capability to target specific cancer cells and deliver high doses of radiation without damaging nearby healthy cells.
With the Trilogy linear accelerator, doctors and hospital officials hope to cut the amount of time cancer patients spend receiving radiation treatment.
According to Dr. John W. Gebert, radiation oncologist at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, the Trilogy accelerator has the ability to deliver a very concentrated amount of radiation to a spot of any size, even half the thickness of a dime.
Using three-dimensional imaging and localization techniques, physicians determine the exact coordinates of the tumor and provide the most focused and effective treatment, Dr. Gebert said. The result of this technology is that less of the surrounding tissue is affected by the radiation treatment, allowing for treatment of tumors that may be in sensitive areas such as the lungs and the brain.
Another benefit of the technology is that it significantly shortens treatment sessions. Jerry Sheppard, director of the Richard E. Winter Cancer Treatment Center, said treatment could be cut from 45 days to about five days in some cases.
It takes the financial burden off the patient, who regularly drives back and forth for treatment, Mr. Sheppard said. It also gives them a more precise treatment so that the actual treatment time is quicker.
Mr. Sheppard said the facility is the only cancer treatment center north of Syracuse and west of Burlington, Vt., to offer such precise treatment.
When it is completed, the 3,264-square-foot addition will feature a new bunker with 8-foot-thick concrete walls that prevent unintended radiation exposure from cancer treatments.
Claxton-Hepburn spokeswoman Laura C. Shea said officials expect the project to be completed in early May.
It allows us to keep people closer to home, allows us to treat more types of cancer and we are also able to offer a shorter treatment schedule, a great advantage for patients, Mrs. Shea said Friday. We also have a patient advocator that will help them through the entire process.
To donate to the foundation, call 393-9175 or visit www.claxtonhepburn.org and click the Foundation tab at the top of the page.
The Richard E. Winter Cancer Treatment Center marks its 20th anniversary this year.

It has a high melting point, a low heat capacity, and can be heated in air without any weight loss due to oxidation.
Zirconia grain stabilized (ZGS) platinum has been developed to be resistant to grain growth, contamination and deformation at high temperatures. Through a process called dispersion strengthening, ZGS materials are produced by incorporating a fine insoluble phase dispersed uniformly throughout the platinum metal matrix.
ZGS platinum 5% gold has been developed especially for non-wetting applications. It combines the workability and non-wetting properties of ordinary platinum 5% gold with the hot strength of rhodium platinum alloys, yet it is easier to fabricate and offers better stability. Its resistance to contamination makes it ideal for use in X-ray fluorescencesample preparation.
Platinum and precious metal labware available include:
- non-wetting apparatus
- special analysis dishes
- evaporation dishes
- micro chemical apparatus
- platinum crucibles
- utensils

OGDENSBURG City officials are wary of rumors that the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center could be closed as part of a state effort to reorganize the mental health system.
At issue is a proposal by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to establish regional centers of excellence, placing greater emphasis on outpatient care which could result in closing some psychiatric hospitals.
If the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center were targeted for closure, it would have deep repercussions for Ogdensburgs rebuilding economy, Deputy Mayor Michael D. Morley said.
It would be like the impact of General Motors shutting down in Massena, he said. It is a big thing. I just cant imagine that the state would even consider closing the psych center.
The center employs about 500 people.
Youre looking at 500 good-paying jobs in the north country, in Ogdensburg, Councilor Daniel E. Skamperle said. It would be devastating, quite a blow.
Many regional businesses benefit from the centers presence in town.
It would affect all the businesses that do business with those people, Mr. Morley said.
Council members also expressed concern about the continued deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill in St. Lawrence County.
During a period in the 1980s when the psychiatric hospital was radically downsized, many of its residents became outpatients.
Most of the people there are deinstitutionalized now. Theyre walking the streets at all hours of night and the ones that are out are not being watched, Mr. Morley said.
The facility hosts an adult inpatient unit, a childrens unit and a separate facility for sex offenders.
Councilor Wayne L. Ashley said the centers largest impacts on the city go beyond its inpatient units.
They provide home care. Theyve established rehabilitation programs so clients can adjust to a normal lifestyle and get on their own, he said. It is an invaluable source. It would be quite amazing if they decided to close it. They do a little bit more than house clients here.
A closure could open a large geographical gap in state mental health care, Mr. Ashley said. The closest psychiatric hospitals then would become Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center in Utica and Hutchings Psychiatric Center in Syracuse.
I think Ogdensburg can justify having a mental health facility here, he said. Were the closest treatment center north of Syracuse.
Mr. Skamperle said that restoring power generation at the cogeneration plant could ensure the centers longevity by providing cheap electricity and heat.
For the last three years now I have been trying to push to get that cogenerator back online, and I think that could be a big part in keeping the psych center, if we could get the cogenerator supplying heat to the state facilities, he said.
City Manager John M. Pinkerton agreed.
There is a resource there for combined heat and power. We have to put things together and make it work, he said.
Mr. Pinkerton said the state might be better off naming Ogdensburgs hospital a center of excellence and shuttering other facilities.
If the governor is truly looking for centers of excellence, the facility we have here in Ogdensburg is a center of excellence based on client care and maintaining good programs, he said. I want to emphasize that if we already are a place that is doing exceptional work, lets not talk about reduction; lets talk about increases. This is an opportunity to grow. It is an opportunity to grow in an area that is pulling itself up by its bootstraps.
City leaders are taking a wait-and-see approach.
This is all brand new, and right now were trying to find out what is real and what is not real, Mr. Pinkerton said. Once we find out whats real, well either celebrate or well collaborate.

Busy Philipps is continuing her practice of giving her children non-traditional names.
The actress and her husband, Marc Silverstein, welcomed a girl last week, and E! News has learned the baby's name.
The couple have named the newborn ... Cricket Pearl Silverstein.
[Silence ... or can you hear crickets chirping?]
Baby Cricket joins 4-year-old sister Birdie Leigh. Busy famously announced her pregnancy over Twitter last year, when she posted a picture of her positive pregnancy test with the caption, "so this happened ..."
What do you think of the name Cricket Pearl? It's certainly more pleasing than say, Roach Diamond.
After hearing some negative feedback online, Busy hilariously tweeted "It's weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be therapy for LOTS of reasons, I'm sure."

The Kettle Falls City Council recently accepted a bid to help the city move forward with its efforts to install more sidewalks in and around the municipality as part of a revitalization project.
The $208,781 bid from Bauman Brothers was accepted at the Sept. 6 meeting for the two block sidewalk project that will create sidewalk and storm-water drainage from Juniper to Meyer Street.
Project Manager Dave Keeley said the sidewalk project is slated to begin in mid-September and is part of the city's revitalization efforts that began in 2006. So far, the city has completed sidewalks along the south lane of traffic on Highway 395 that goes through town, as well as the establishment of the Kettle Falls Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center building.
Keeley said the current sidewalk project was funded through a combination of state grants and city money, including a $192,945 state Transportation Improvement grant, a $30,000 state Transportation Enhancement grant, $70,545 in state tax revenue. The city also committed to spend $10,155 on the project.
It is anticipated that the project will be completed in 30 to 40 days.
When funding is secured, the next section of sidewalk to be completed as part of the revitalization project is from Meyers Street to the east city limits

Well, I have known some wacky Rabbis, but...
FWIW: the suits are largely for trade events. I view it as a way of saying that I take the industry and the job seriously, even if I don't take myself too seriously. Admittedly, that distinction is lost on many people, who seem shocked to discover that I don't have a 2 x 4 embedded in my intestines.
I also think it shows respect for my colleagues. Living in Florida, my daily attire is shorts and t-shirt, barefoot if possible. I don't feel the need to show respect for Floridians, which you probably understand if you follow the news at all.
Anyway, enough about ME. Thanks for the compliment. I think.
There is a shift in the industry, which is inevitable when many of the old guard (meaning, even older than ME) pros, dealers and manufacturers are retiring and/or dying. I'm afraid that most of us don't seem to retire until we die, which is either proof that we love what we do, or an indication that even 7-11 won't hire us to be the token grumpy old guy who bitches about all the goddamned Powerball tickets he has to sell.
There is also the skipped-generation phenomenon, which I mentioned earlier. The children whose parents grew up in the CD era are reviving vinyl, partly due to sound-quality and the whole cover art/liner-note thing, partly as a screw-you-Dad thing. Whatever the reason, the trick is to utilize and capitalize upon that and the Beats experience to introduce real listening to a new audience. That's an iffy thing, given the number of attractions and distractions competing for attention these days. I can't say that even my own children really get it--yet-- other than the occasional foray to see how Mary J. or Deadmau5 sound on "the Dad system".
I can tell you that this won't happen smoothly, or without bumps in the road. There will be resistance which will have to be overcome. Yes, we will have to have more popular artists willing to step up to the plate and proclaim the necessity and value of good sound-- and in my experience, most are unwilling to do so without the incentive of stacks of Benjamins, something in short supply within the industry.
We also need to overcome the division that exists between "audio" and "high-end audio". I have tremendous respect for companies that seriously pursue perfection, no matter what it takes; I also have tremendous respect for those who provide tremendous bang for the buck, which requires just as much dedication as the "ultimate" approach. Maybe even more.
If it is indeed all about the music, then we need to lose the snobbery, and recognize that a couple hundred bucks' worth of 'phones and amp are valid, not something to sneer at. Similarly, that kid with the Craigslist NAD amp may well be tomorrow's megabuck system-owner.
And even if they're not, they still deserve to be treated well, and welcomed.
Unless they're a Justin Bieber fan. Then we should shun them. ;->

This part is a possible option when ice door won't open or shut properly or when water is not dispensing.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Level of DifficultyEasy

CustomerBill from Cleveland Heights OH
The flap to the ice dispenser would not close, which allowed the ice dispenser to frost up, freezing the water dispenser.This was a simple fix. The solenoid had stopped working, so it would not automatically close the door flap. I read some posts on this site that suggest that you had to remove the trim around the entire dispenser to get at the solenoid. My fridge may be a newer model, but in any event it was much easier than that. Just below the touch pad for choosing water, ice, or crushed ice (above where the ice/water dispenses) there are three very small holes spaced about an inch a part. After unplugging the fridge, I stuck a small philips-head screw driver in each, freeing spring clips. That allowed the touch pad to come off. I then removed four screws to remove a plastic piece covering the chute, giving me access to the flap and solenoid. I just unplugged the solenoid from the circuit board on the back of the touch pad and then removed three screws to remove the old solenoid. I replaced it with the new solenoid and plugged it into the circuit board. The touch pad then snapped back into place.The hardest part was figuring out how to get at the solenoid. After I found that pushing the clips in those three holes allowed me to remove the touch pad, it could not be any easier.

CustomerJoe from Maryville TN
I read in a previous post how to do the job from outside fridge which saved me lots of time. No need to remove inner door lining. Here is my procedure: 1.Turned off power. 2.Snapped off outside trim ring. 3.Located three small holes inside lip just above ice tube. The center hole was not used. 4.Pushed rather firmly up through two remaining holes with small Allen wrench to release front control panel. 5.Removed (3) wire connectors from printed circuit board. Firmly pull/pry them straight out as lifting on retaining clip will break it off. I broke one & had to elect. tape it back in place later although I doubt it would have ever come off. 6.Release secondary panel by removing (4) screws. The problem was obvious as the solenoid had broken the crank arm off the flapper rod & trapped it open 7.Replaced solenoid, crank arm with flapper attached, spring & micro switch. Switch was okay but I changed anyway. 8.Cleaned all areas with 1/10 bleach water to sanitize. 9.Re-installed evrything in reverse order & all is okay. Thanks to someone for telling about those two small holes. Made job easy versus a very hard one.
CustomerJames from Malabar FL
I followed the video instructions for replacing the Flapper Valve and solenoid that Part Select suggested. It was one of the best DIY Reapair Sites I've used. Thank you
Level of DifficultyReally easy
Customercarl from vacaville CA
first I snapped out control face plate on outside of door. removed the screws for each part,and unplugged the wires at the connectors, replaced new parts and plugged in connectors to new circuit board.I decided to replace the board,switch and solenoid all at the same time, not knowing which part was bad.I have to say it was well worth it! it works better than when it was new!!!! It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.
CustomerWalt from Alabaster AL
Pulled the ice/water control panel off using the three holes under the lip. Pops off pretty easy. Next came 4 screws holding the chute for the ice. Two bottom screws were very rusty, top two look brand new. Watch the wires. Replace the solenoid assembly by unplugging wires leading to the board, then removed the plunger over the top of the hook on the far right. Went ahead and replaced the dispenser door assembly or flapper. Plugged refridge back in and pressed the ice dispenser handle and listened for the solenoid to cycle. Perfect. There is a little delay before you hear the flapper fall into place. Saving rest of parts just in case they are needed next time.Thanks to everyone who wrote in to show how easy it would be. No telling how much a repairman would have charged me.
CustomerTurcotte's Housing Service, In from Newmarket NH
I inserted the tip of a very small screwdriver from a eye glass repair kit into the three small holes under the panel near where the ice is dispensed. I never would have known about this simple procedure if it wasn't for the feedback you post from your parts cumtomers. Once I did this the front panel with the buttons on it poped off and it was just a matter of removing a few screws at that point. The wires from the new solenoid easily plugged into the board on the front panel. I would recommend changing the screws at the same time. The old one's worked but they were rusty. I feel the solenoid was my only problem but I changed all the parts in between the dispenser door and the solenoid just to be sure.
ToolsNutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers
CustomerMichael from Otsego MN
first replace the solenoid behind the front display. than replace the mother board on the back side of the fridge due to a relay being burned out on it.GE Wanted $300 + to come out and do the repair.With partsselect and a little time I cut that cost in half.Thank you,Mike
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
CustomerMark from Skokie IL
Replacing servo was not hard, but did not solve problem. Searched some more and the cure is to remove the light bulb from the dispenser. Seems that old bulbs draw too much current and cause the control panel to fail in sending signal to icemaker motor. Removing the bulb cured this fault and the control panel worked fine.
Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair:1- 2 hours
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers
CustomerERIC from MADISON AL
First remove about 30 screws w/nutdriver that are hidden under door seal then inside of freezer door will come off. Second remove about 10 screws that hold dispenser assy to the inside of door, then support the unit with tape so you don't damage the wires that connect it. Third, pop touchpad loose, then remove three sets of wires plugged into the circuit board. Fourth, remove four screws that hold the ice chute and light assy. Fifth, now remove the 3 screws that hold solenoid. These three screws that hold the solenoid will be very rusty, you may want to replace these also. I went ahead and replaced all the related parts because they are so hard to get to. Also took the opportunity to clean in here with bleach to remove all the black mold and rust.NOTE: when reassembling the inside of the freezer door to the outside of the door you must loosely attach the door on both sides in the middle first, then the top and bottom. Add some more screws on each side and tighten them all. Now you must check to be sure that the door is not racked. If the door is not sealed at the top or bottom, loosen the screws and twist the door a little and tighten screws and check door again for proper seal. Spent more time adjusting door to seal right than doing the actual repair.
CustomerVictor from Houston TX
I have unlock the black panel. With a screw driver I have removed 2 screws and removed 3 conectors from circuit board. So, I had access to solenoid set. From this point on was intuitive. Very easy.I recomend these parts be replaced once time for each two years.
CustomerWilliam M from Ft Myers FL
First, had to use punch tool to pop out electronic face panel. Face unit still connnect via wires. Use painters tape to hold against refrig. Next, Remove ice/water dispenser and also tape to door. This will give you access to solenoid. Remove the 3 screws holding it in place and unplug fsolenoid from Face Panel. Screw new solenoid and place and connnect to Panel. Goood idea is to unplug regrig. while doing this and put a little WD-30 on shaft of solenoid. May want to order new screws, could be rusty, that hold solenoid in place. Sounds a bit complicated but not that bad a job. You'll save over$100 over GE's service.
CustomerWallace from Oxford ME
Unplugged power cord. Used a small screw driver to release the bottom of the control panel. Pulled it out and unplugged wires, then set it aside. Removed 4 screws from the housing shield and pulled it out. Now the solenoid assembly and related parts are accessable. I removed the solenoid assembly by loosening the top screw and removing the 2 bottom screws. This was the main problem, but I also replaced related parts that were worn or corroded. I also cleaned and disinfected everything in there while I had it apart because it was pretty nasty! Now it works like new.
Customerjoe from raleigh NC
after finding the video describing the same problem, i gave it a shot. Major problem was figuring out how to take outside trim off of the ice/water dispenser. Everything i tried did not work like the videos i had seen. Looking thru some of the posted blogs i found another way to get behind the control panel without even taking off the trim piece. i pressed a 1/8th allen wrench into the two outer holes on the bottom of the control panel which released the panel to pull out from the bottom. after that it was simple to release the three plugs from the circuit board and remove the control panel. 4 phi lips screws later the ice chute comes straight out revealing the flapper door which is held in by 2 more screws. once that assembly is out the solenoid is held by three more screws. there was nothing difficult at all about this repair once the secret was out about the first step about the three holes (use only the outer two) in the bottom of the control panel

Removed panel from front of freezer door by pushing up on three spring loaded screws located in the opening where the ice door opens and closes. they are about 1 inch apart on the bottom of the opening. Push up to free ice maker panel. Remove three screws from solenoid, located at the top right. Remove wire, replace with new and that is it. Fixed the problem!! Our ice maker hadn't worked for months. Be careful if you remove the round ice maker door to clean. There is a spring that located on the left side of sprocket. The spring fell off and took me a while to figure where it came from. Recieved package in three days and the job took minutes. Works great! Very easy to complete.

Register online for the Mosquito Phone Notification Plan or contact the Environmental Health Division at 573-874-7346. You will need to supply your address and a phone number or e-mail address in order to be notified of spraying that is scheduled to occur in your area. Click here to view a four-minute video about our Mosquito Spraying Program.
Mosquito Spraying on the Trails -Mosquito spraying on the MKT Trail and other trail areas normally begins in May and continues into September. The spraying is typically done weekly, on Friday mornings, with a truck-mounted ultra-low volume sprayer using Anvil 2 plus 2. The product is considered safe and is approved by the EPA for mosquito control. Weekly spraying on the trails occurs between the hours of 4 AM and 8 AM on Friday. For more information please contact us at 874-7346.
West Nile is a virus that is transmitted by mosquitoes to various animals and humans. Learn More about the West Nile Virus.
To help combat the health of the community, Public Health and Human Services takes preventive measures to protect against the spread of the infected mosquitoes. One such method is to conservatively and efficiently spray infected areas with a carefully chosen adulticide, Anvil®, that does not cause harm to humans or animals when following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
We also apply larvicide to standing water in Columbia, monitor West Nile reported human cases, and offer free dunks and educational material available to the public at no cost.
Every year, we thoroughly review our mosquito control policy based on new guidelines and research.
There are several actions you can take to protect yourself and your family from West Nile. This includes protecting your home from mosquitoes (En espanol proteja su hogar contra los mosquitoes ).

A lot of things have changed at Ogdensburg Free Academys Van Dusen Memorial Track and Field Invitational since 1981.
But one thing that has stood impervious to the test of time like an unreachable star is the 800 (1:55.9) and 1600 (4:13.1) meter run record double which was set in 1981 by Norwood-Norfolks Jim Tyler.
Tyler, who went on to break the magic four-minute mark in the mile at the University of Notre Dame, made his first appearance at the Van Dusen since 1981 on Saturday. He was delighted to see some old friends and to see that the meet, although now staged in the midseason, was still one of the crown jewels of North Country Track-Field.
I usually get home every couple of years to see my folks but I usually dont visit this time of year said Tyler who now owns an architectural firm in Bismark, N.D. and maintains his love for distance runner as a marathoner.
I always loved this track and I have a lot of great memories from here. It seemed that the straight-aways were always a little longer here.
The 90th edition of the Van Dusen featured a dominant performance by the Malone Boys who tallied 165 points and were followed Potsdam at 67, Gouverneur 55 and OFA 54.
We had a great day and our depth really carried us. We were hoping that Indian River would be here which would have been a great challenge for us, said Malone Coach Matt Tessier of his senior laden juggernaut which features three NCAA Division I recruits in Harvey Smith (Notre Dame), Rourk Marlow (University of Hartford) and Morgan Marlow (University of Massachusetts).
The Malone Girls took advantage of an opportunity created when Canton entered a group of runners in the William F. Eddy Meet in Schenectady. The Lady Huskies tallied 110 points with Canton taking second at 83.50 and Madrid-Waddington third at 58.50. In the combined standings, Malone led with 275 followed by Canton 100.5 and Madrid-Waddington 91.
We ran very well today and we have a very young team. Our prom always falls on this weekend but our girls still wanted to compete. So they did their events and headed home, said Malone Coach Mike Wescott.
Canton gave us chance sending some of their best runners to the Eddy Meet but it meant a lot to our girls to win this meet.
The youth of the Lady Huskies was illustrated by eighth grader Emily Pomainville who was honored as the Outstanding Female Runner. She edged her sister Carrie Pomainville for first place in the 1500 run, prevailed by a lean over Moira Fayle of Lowville in the 3000 run (both runners clocked at 11:16.20) and combined with Rebekah Bond, Madeleine Champagne and Hannah Perry on the winning 4x400 relay. Bond also ran on the Huskies 4x800 relay win and produced the only meet record of the day when she ran a 7:52.50 in the 2000 meter steeplechase bettering the 7:55.80 posted by Cantons Aimee Beaudette in 2011.
The steeplechase is my favorite event because you do so many different things, said Bond.It is just a lot of fun.
Joining Emily Pomainville in the circle of individual award winners in the Girls Meet were a pair of Tupper Lake standouts in Outstanding Sprinter Madi Fortier and Outstanding Jumper Samantha Ormsby and the Outstanding Thrower Katie Marcellus of Madrid-Waddington.
In the Boys Meet, Malones Harvey Smith was honored as the Outstanding Sprinter, Potsdams Ethan Vinson was recognized as the Outstanding Runner, OFAs Taylor Bouchard was cited as the Outstanding Jumper and Clifton-Fines Dave Dobronsky was cited as the Outstanding Thrower.
Fortier won the 100 and 200 meter dashes, Ormsby paced the triple jump and took second in the long jump to Lowvilles Alexis Bach and Marcellus placed first in the discus throw and took second in the shot put to Tupper Lakes smooth eighth grader Katie Zurek.
Smith had his sights set on the meet records in the 100 (10.8) and 400 (48.4) meter dashes but fell short with high octane winning times of 11.0 and 49.0. I ran my season best in the 400. I ran a 48.2 in the states last year but I think I am on schedule. Last year at this time I couldnt have run as fast I did today, said Smith referring to his plans to become a collegiate sprinter at Notre Dame. I am going to run the 100, 200 and the 400 and 300 during indoors. I think running indoors will really help me in college.
Potsdams Ethan Vinson broke up Malones domination of the distance arena posting a classic 800 and 1600 meter double and ran on the Stoners first place 4x100 relay team.
I broke two minutes in the 800 for the first time so that was a big step for me, said Vinson who plans to run collegiately at SUNY Plattsburgh.
I had a great day and want to keep it going in a dual meet with Malone on Wednesday and at the sectionals.
Bouchard produced host OFAs only individual titles leading the triple jump and the high jump. I had a very good day but I still havent had a real big jump yet this season, said Bouchard. But I am working very hard and I am sure it will come.
Dobronsky uncoiled two real big throws with NAC season bests the shot put in 44-7.50 and the discus throw at 143-07.
Rounding out the circle of Van Dusen Girls Meet individual champions were: Paige Hamilton of Canton (400 dash), Leta Ashley of Peru (800 run), Marissa Perez of Malone (100 hurdles), Emma Bonk of Indian River (400 hurdles), Jacalyn Lamica of Malone (high jump) and Briana Hayes of Norwood-Norfolk (pentathlon).
Bonk, who is the daughter of former OFA high jump standout Ryan Bonk, also ran on Indian Rivers first place 4x100 relay with Taylor Baynham, Margaret Frezar and Makele Shanks. Malone took the 4x800 relay with Rebekkah Bond, Brooke and Morgan Bonner and Madeleine Champagne.
Also earning first place medals and trophies in the Boys Meet were: Watertowns Matthew Olney (pentathlon), Massenas Kyle Nicholson (200 dash), Conor Gordon of Malone who approached the 33-year old meet record of 9:15.4 by running a 9:17.30 3200 meters, Anthony Way of Gouverneur (110 hurdles), John Picaro of Malone (400 hurdles), Corey Lamere of Malone (3000 steeplechase) and Andrew Brush of Massena (long jump).
OFA won one of the best races of the day in 4x400 relay when Collin Sovie, Andrew Colburn and Donovan Smith set up Alex Wood for blistering come-from-behind victory over Potsdam which claimed the 4x100 relay title with Ethan Vinson, Ebuka Ononye, Oden Robertson and Peter Clark. Malone took the 4x800 relay with Josh Bordeaux, Will Bronner, Conor Gordon and Corey Lamere.
Sectional Site Switch: because of on-going renovations at St. Lawrence University, OFA has been designated as the host venue for the Section 10 Championships which will be held on May 29-30 with the action beginning at 4:15 p.m. each day.
