SENECA — The Seneca Junior High Gymnasium was filled with rummage sale items on Saturday, though at least half of those items were not intended to raise a penny for their former owners.
Instead, several community members dropped off donations, or rented out booths, to raise money to benefit the Seneca Library.
The Seneca Library Rummage Sale Fundraiser, which ran from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, the same day as the Seneca city-wide garage sale, was the first true fundraising event held by the Seneca Library Foundation.
Foundation member and Seneca Area Chamber of Commerce president Josh Dodson said Saturday's event was a success.
"It was great participation," Dodson said. "For our first fundraiser and of course something like this, which is a different type of deal, it was fantastic."
Andrea Nichols, organizer of the fundraiser, said the sale saw a steady crowd of shoppers coming in throughout the day, and while organizers weren't yet sure of how much money they had raised, they knew they were doing well.
"It's been a great success," Nichols said. "Between concessions and the fundraiser booths, I think we did pretty good today. Every comment we've received has been "it's for the library," that's their comment when they hand in the money."
Booths were available for rent for $20 apiece, and at one point overflowed from the gymnasium into the lobby, while about half of the gymnasium was filled solely with donations benefiting the library.
"It's going to help with items that are needed for the Seneca Library," Dodson said.
The event included 10 vendors, though not all booths were traditional garage sale items.
Avon, Arbonne and Tupperware were also represented with items for sale at Saturday's fundraiser.
The Neosho Newton County Library board announced in September 2012 plans to close the Seneca library, due to financial constraints, though the board announced in March that the Seneca library would remain open through the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the Seneca Library Foundation, formed under the Neosho Area Business and Industrial Foundation (NABIFI), is working to raise money to assist with the Seneca Library's expenses, or to pay its operating costs if the board ultimately closes its doors.
Dodson said the group hopes to hold another rummage sale fundraiser next year.
Those who are interested in donating to the Seneca Library Foundation can do so by contacting Dodson at 417- 438-3071 or can leave a check with Lori Scribner at Community Bank and Trust in Seneca.
Checks should be made out to NABIFI, with Seneca Library Foundation written in the memo line.
Dodson said the Seneca Library Foundation is also in the midst of planning a second fundraiser, a talent show, to be held during their Fourth of July festivities. The Seneca's Got Talent competition will take place July 5 and 6, he said.

Eurozone debt crisis: heading towards a German Europe? (part 2)
"Europe is facing its toughest hour since the Second World War". Few would disagree with Angela Merkel. But not everyone is easy about the German government's leading role in trying to solve the debt crisis. Merkel wants the EU to have a greater say in how European economies are run, but is that direction now coming from Brussels or Berlin?

The Moundridge boys made a furious comeback in the third quarter after trailing 28-20 at halftime, but couldn't hold on, falling 60-56 to McPherson County rival Inman Friday night.
INMAN — The Moundridge boys made a furious comeback in the third quarter after trailing 28-20 at halftime, but couldn't hold on, falling 60-56 to McPherson County rival Inman Friday night.
The Teutons had jumped out to a 12-6 lead after the first quarter and then out-scored the Wildcats 16-14 in the second for the halftime lead.
Moundridge, however roared back with a 24-9 third quarter. The Wildcats were sparked by Hunter Enyart, who had 12 of his game high 21 points in the third frame.
Inman fired back in the fourth, however, scoring 23 points, thanks, in part, to the efforts of Josh Miller, who nine points in the quarter, seven of which came from the foul line, where he went 7-of-8 to boost the Teutons to the four point win.
Miller and Alex Ropp both finished with 16 points for Inman. Justin Friesen added 12 in the win.
Enyart was the only Wildcat in double figures, as the usually high-scoring Daniel Ratzlaff was held to only six points, those not coming until the second half.
Solomon 71
Elyria Christian 39
ELYRIA — The Elryia boys dropped a Wheat State League game to Solomon Friday night, losing 71-39.
The Gorillas jumped out to a 20-7 lead after the first quarter and 42-16 at the intermission.
Elyria came out with more fire in the second half, managing to stay even with Solomon in the third quarter, matching them 18-18. The Eagles held the scoring advantage in the fourth quarter, 15-11, but the first half deficit proved too much to overcome.
Ethan Price led Elryia with 12 points, while Josh Nichols and Daniel Froese both added eight.
Solomon's Josh Burdine led everyone with 23 points. Blake Homman added 12.
Little River 46
Hope 33
LITTLE RIVER — The Redskins trailed at the half, but tough defense shut down Hope in the second half, allowing Little River to win 46-33.
The Lions held a 15-13 advantage after the first quarter and held Little River to only four second quarter points to take a 21-19 lead into the locker room at half.
Dalton Konen took the game on his shoulders in the third quarter, though, dropping 11 points in the frame, even as the Redskins shut down Hope's offense, allowing only eight.
Tevin Renkin' took over in the fourth, scoring eight of Little River's 11 fourth quarter points.
Renkin had 18 points on the night, while Konen finished with 15.
Sedgwick 63
Canton-Galva 29
CANTON — The Eagles were in the game through the first half, but Sedgwick put the clamps down in the second half, allowing only four total Canton-Galva points in the 63-29 loss.
A.J. Medley had nine points. Cody Savage and Tanner Klingensmith both had eight.

The review backlog has become increasingly large over the course of the last year, so I have decided to have a bit of a clearout. Today you have the pleasure of a Cadbury Superpost - featuring some bars that I have recently tried from all across the globe ... in the interest of post length I suggest we just get on with it :D
Cadbury Boost Stix
Cadbury Boost Stix
Kcal 140 Fat 7.7g Fat(sats) 5.4g Carbs 15.7g (per stix)
'Chocolate flavoured centre with biscuit pieces, surrounded in caramel, all covered in Dairy Milk milk chocolate'
Origin: Australia
The Cadbury Boost Stix bar is one of the latest products to come out in Australia and essentially comprises of a standard UK Cadbury Boost split in to two smaller thinner 'Stix' pieces. I was a little confused by the branding given that the Boost bar in the Southern Hemipshere is usually called the Moro (!??), but that aside the packaging and presentation looked reasonable enough and struck me as attractive.
Taste wise there was very little variation from a standard Boost, with the real only point of difference coming in the scale and size. The Dairy Milk chocolate was noticeably a touch thinner in melt compared to our UK stuff, but it was still creamy tasting and led nicely into the surrounding layer of caramel and centre filling of chocolate truffle and biscuit pieces.
Overall this bar was fine for what it was, but I see little point for it unless you are someone who fancies their fill of Cadbury Boost in a more manageable sized portion. To be honest the only time I ever eat the normal Cadbury Boost is when I am in need of a very fulfilling chocolate to satisfy my hunger - so that sort of rules out the point of existence for me with this bar. Despite it's smaller size these Stix bars still deliver the Cadbury Boost taste experience, I just honestly don't see little point in paying the same amount for 5.0g less chocolate.

Cadbury P.S.
Cadbury P.S.
Kcal 240 Fat 13.7g Fat(sats) 9.8g Carbs 28.8g
'Layer of wafer and caramel flavoured cream, covered in Caramilk chocolate'
Origin: South Africa
I'm not one-hundred percent sure about the intended brand positioning of the P.S. but from what I have ascertained it is probably targeted predominantly at female consumers given the colour scheme and suggestive 'You light up my life' blurb featured on the wrapper. Although I was hardly overwhelmed by the aesthetic proposition, the smell of the bar did excite me more, and the sweet, dairy based white chocolate scents did raise my anticipation to an extent.
The taste was what I can only describe as polarising in that was very sugary, but still on the whole quite pleasant with undertones and hints of toffee and golden syrup present throughout. Given the sharp directness of the sugary natured outer chocolate, the wafer was very much needed, as the more savoury wheat flavours offered by the wafer that balanced out the sweetness of the coating.
Overall it wasn't one of the better chocolate bars I have ever reviewed from Cadbury, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was to find out that out that it has quite a few loyal fans. The Caramilk chocolate that coats it is very distinct in terms of taste, and I can see people that love really sweet chocolate like Caramac, White Mice etc would very much enjoy this bar. Personally speaking it wasn't a product well matched to my tastes, it was nice enough, but I wouldn't actively encourage you actively seek it out.
7.2 out of 10
Cadbury Mr Big Original
Cadbury Mr Big Original
Kcal 300 Fat 14.0g Fat(sats) 7.0g Carbs 41.0g (per bar)
'Layered vanilla wafer, coated in caramel, peanuts and rice crisps, covered in a chocolate coating'
Origin: Canada
Getting bars from Canada certainly isn't the easiest of thing to do, but after a little endeavour I did manage to lay hands on one of these Mr Big bars thanks to a ChocolateMission reader who wished to remain anonymous. This Mr Big Original is one of the Cadbury bars I have been eyeing up for a while now, as I have always thought the prospect of a Lion bar equivalent with added peanuts and vanilla creme sounded like an attractive prospect.
The first thing that struck me when I layed hands on this bar was how it really did live up to it's name. The 60.0g bar was literally huge in size - it was a real pain to photograph getting the entire wrapper in to focus. In relation to size this was probably about the size of a Mars Duo we have here in the UK, though annoyingly this bar wasn't split in two prior to me doing the cross-section you see above. As sizable as the bar was in hand, when it came to the taste test I felt it let itself down somewhat. The outer coating of chocolate, nuts and caramel all seemed to lack the usual Cadbury charm with the chocolate especially notable for it's sweetness as opposed to Cadbury's usual differentiated creamy taste. Similarly the peanuts and caramel struggled to create much of an impression against the wafer and inner creme elements, which both themselves mustered only brown sugar noted wheaty flavour suggestions that you would get from any average wafer based option.
Overall I did feel a little letdown by the overall quality of this bar given the promise it had in concept. As I described above, none of the key five constituents really took hold of the taste to the extent I wished - the chocolate and peanuts most notably faded in to the background with the generic tasting wafer acting more as a flavour dampener rather than an enhancer. I can't deny the Mr Big is a hunger satisfying option thanks to it's size, but I wont mislead you all by saying it's the tastiest Cadbury option available.

Cadbury Cherry Ripe Cherry Roll
Cadbury Cherry Ripe Cherry Roll
Kcal 242 Fat 13.2g Fat(sats) 10.3g Carbs 28.4g
'Cherries and coconut in Old Gold dark chocolate, sprinkled with coconut'
Origin: Australia
The Cadbury Cherry Ripe Cherry Roll was yet another new product launched in Australia earlier this year and has been doing the rounds in the Southern Hemisphere. Those of you who haven't ever seen the Cherry Ripe brand before want want to familiarise yourselves with my review of the original bar (See HERE), and also the Cherry Ripe Double Dipped which was another limited edition I tried in 2009 (See HERE). Essentially this Cherry Ripe Cherry Roll looked and sounded like the original bar, just with a few cosmetic changes.
Out of it's foil wrapper this bar was immediately more welcoming than I remember the original bar being. The shredded coconut on the side caused a heck of mess when handling, but it generated some a nice coconutty scents and gave the outer chocolate an additional crispness when first bitten in to. The outer chocolate was as expected not the greatest in terms of it's cocoa richness, but for the main part it was insignificant anyway as the inner assembly of cherry and coconut took the lionshare of the taste what with it establishing it's juicy red fruit and creamy nut experience.
Overall I really enjoyed this bar and felt that in many ways it was superior to the long standing original Cherry Ripe. That said if I were an Australian or New Zealander and this had been the biggest 'new launch' from Cadbury for the year I would probably had been disappointed with it given that it was essentially the normal Cherry Ripe with some minor improvements. Much the same as I have said about the other three bars today, this is more of a 'nice to have' bar rather than one I would say you need to go out there and look for.

BOSTON -- Panic! At The Disco? More like a 90-minute sprint through 21 insanely infectious dance-rock songs Sunday night at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion in Boston before about 4000 young and wildly enthusiastic fans.
The Las Vegas band has kind of gone more towards that dance-pop direction with its latest album, the brand new "Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die," with more synthesizer melodies, and heightened rhythms. Singer and songwriter Brendon Urie has been quoted as saying they were aiming for "that club feel where the music doesn't let up and the beat never stops." There are some obvious hip-hop and EDM (electronic dance music) flavors to the new CD, but in concert the Panic! sound maintained its rock 'n' roll foundation.
The quartet--Urie, drummer Spencer Smith and bassist Dallon Weekes are official members, with Kenneth Harris the tour guitarist, and Dan Pawlovich serving as tour drummer this summer while Smith is on hiatus--sounded at many times like their Vegas brethren The Killers, if you imagined that band had shifted several degrees further towards the dancefloor, like 'Sam's Town' meets Club 54.
When we last heard this band in 2008, they were touring to support their second album, "Pretty. Odd," which was heavily influenced by their love of the Beatles, and was also compared to the sound of the vintage Zombies and Kinks.
There have been changes since then, with original guitarist and co-songwriter Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker leaving by early 2009. Urie took on all the writing chores after that, and 2011's "Vices and Virtues" album featured a more pop-with-punk edges feel. Panic! has always been a band very concerned with the dancefloor, however, and this year's album amps up that quotient even more. Last night's 21-song set included eight of the ten songs on the new CD, and another five from their 2005 debut, but just one tune from that Beatlesque 2008 disc.
Panic! hit the ground running at full speed, with the peripatetic "Vegas Lights," as Urie, in a gold lame jacket over black tee shirt and black leather pants led the crowd in a vibrant charge from his small synth keyboard. A large video screen was at the back of the stage, and four tall columns were scattered around the stage, each able to project video also. Later on, six smoke jets would punctuate some songs with blasts of CO2 smoke, as strobe lights flashed from both overhead and behind the stage for a dazzling effect.
"Time To Dance" didn't need any extra surge to get the throng moving, but Urie delivered it with gusto, all the while prancing around like a crazed pony. "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" from that overlooked third album was the first song to really take on the shape and texture of a conventional rock song, a power ballad with a soaring melody. But you really doubted that the energy level could get any higher, or the tempo any faster, than on the racing rocker, "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage" (lyrics to which are much simpler than that title, by the way).
Just when it seemed Urie and his band had hit their peak on the fourth song, they blasted off with "Let's Kill Tonight," one of the singles from the new CD, and then followed it up with the big single from the new album "Girls/Girls/Boys," which rides what you might call an emo-groove, where the steady beat does not detract from the soulfulness of Urie's vocal. The pounding ballad "Ready to Go" saw Urie expertly lead into the anthemic chorus "ready to go-o-o-o" where it was truly incredible to see how many of the under-25 crowd were singing along.
Urie donned a guitar to push matters a bit further towards rock with "Trade Mistakes," and a roaring gallop through "New Perspective," as Harris played slide guitar with wah-wah effects. Urie does not seem to enjoy many long-term relationships, as cascading drums and surreal vocal echoes turned "Casual Affair" into a swirling otherworldly rock stew.
The intro to the band's well-known "Miss Jackson" was a bit blue, as Urie detailed how he'd been cheated on, but the frenzied dance-rocker that resulted was a fine way to get all that tension out, and as the crowd went bonkers, Urie did a backflip off the drum riser.
"Nine in the Afternoon" from that 2008 album found Urie at a real piano, playing what seemed like vaudeville-meets-arena-rock, and if that tune didn't sound like a Sergeant Pepper-era Beatles out-take, Ringo is not a Starr. But speaking of influences, little could top Panic! At the Disco's stunning rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," with Urie again at piano. (How did all these young fans know all those words to singalong so well? Perhaps the video playing in the background of "Wayne's World" was a clue.
Panic!'s homestretch was killer, from the new single where Urie passionately compares a lady love to "Nicotine" for both its good and bad effects, to a careening "But It's Better If You Do." The new album also boasts "Collar Full," yet another visceral rocker bursting with energy. The encores were the new "This Is Gospel" which gives this summer tour its monicker, a pounding, roiling rocker backed by stained glass videos that had the crowd bouncing around in ecstasy (no pun intended). The night ended with the galloping dance-rocker "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies," with a restrained guitar figure leading into a bust-out chorus that had the gleeful fans dancing themselves just about into exhaustion.
Earlier Cincinnati's Walk the Moon got things moving with their own 45-minute set of dance-pop. Their new tune "Spend Your Money" was a buoyant pop march with singer Nick Petricca shifting easily between his normal voice and a soaring falsetto. A couple of their tunes tried too hard for anthem status, but the new "Shut Up and Dance With Me" with its memorable shout-out chorus, was definitely a major league rabble-rouser. Showing off more of his vocal chops on their power ballad "Anna Sun," Petricca might have had some fans wondering if he could be David Bowie's son.
Early arrivals got to hear a half-hour or so of Boston's own Magic Man, a quintet whose second album, "Before the Waves," was just released July 8.

Throwing thyroid into the mixJune 15, 2010 at 9:10 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 5 Comments
Tags: aches, arthritis, depression, doctor, fatigue, flare, flare-up, GP, hospital, hypothyroidism, joint pain, methotrexate, MTX, pain, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), sleep, stress, T3, T4, thyroid, thyroxine, tiredness, TSH
I went for monthly MTX blood tests today and remembered to ask if the thyroid results were normal – I'd assumed they were, since no one at the surgery had bothered to contact me. They weren't.
Having said that, they weren't all that abnormal either, so what are we doing about it? In their case nothing as yet, in my case getting rather confused …and cold …and tired … and achy … but mostly just confused. Until I went in and asked for the results I thought a thyroid test was just that, one test, one answer – OK, not OK, whatever. But no … it turns out there's a test for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates thyroxine production from the thyroid gland. Then there's tests for the two types of hormone the thyroid gland itself produces, thyroxine (T4) and the other one whose name I can't remember (T3). Counter-intuitively, if you have lots of TSH sloshing about it means your thyroid might be UNDER-active, because you have to produce a lot of TSH to get the thyroid to do anything at all. If you have loads of T3 and/or T4 (produced by the thyroid gland itself) then you obviously have an overactive thyroid as the thyroid is producing loads of the stuff. If you have very little then clearly you have an under-active thyroid.
Symptoms of the latter include feeling cold when it isn't (box ticked), weight gain or difficulty in losing weight (box ticked), muscle aches (box ticked), abnormal menstrual cycles (oh yeaaaah!), decreased libido (what's libido again, somebody?), irritability (well … erm … guilty) and memory loss (not sure, can't remember). However, my levels of T-whatever – not sure if they tested for T3, T4 or both, are in the normal range. My level of TSH though is just outside the normal range – just a smidge too high. As a consequence the docs have decided to wait and see. I can totally understand the logic of this – apparently it does fluctuate and it's not as if it's wildly off the scale, so try again in another month and see if it's still high, and if the levels of T-whatsit have decreased or not.
Really – I can totally understand that – but it's just sooooo frustrating, as I sit here grumpily shivering, with period pains! (Oh yeah, and a flare just to increase the fun.)
One interesting thing – apparently the most common cause of hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) is an autoimmune problem. Surprise, surprise!
As to the confusion – I've just about got it straight in my head that there are all these tests and roughly what they're for, but nowhere can I find clear guidance as to what is and isn't normal range for any of these tests – it seems that for TSH it used to be considered that up to 5.5 was OK, now they reckon about 4.5, or maybe 3.5, or sometimes 2 depending on who you ask, and apparently some authorities in the UK reckon up to 10 is fine! I'm just going to go off and find a nice sandpit to bury my head in for the next month.

I just found out almost two months ago that I have hypothyroidism. I feel much better since starting levothyroxine. I also started azithromycin for an elevated ASO titer and the gluten free diet around the same time…so I don't know what is helping the most…but I am not cold all the time and I feel like I have more energy. My doc even told me it would help with the joint pain since my thyroid was so low.. my TSH was 7-something. T4 and T3 were low. You might outta check around about your test…seems like if its even a little elevated you need on replacement therapy…but I'm no doc…just what I've read.

As a young Social Studies teacher during the 1956 election, my students would ask, "How can I tell if I'm a Democrat or a Republican?"
As a young Social Studies teacher during the 1956 election, my students would ask, "How can I tell if I'm a Democrat or a Republican?" The real answer is you can be either one; you don't have to have a reason. Nevertheless, utilizing the historical positions taken by the two parties, I prepared a test to help them determine which party best represented their views Check one answer for each of the following:
1. Public power:
A. Would tend to favor governmental development of water resources.
B. Would tend to favor development of water resources by private industry.
2. Tariff:
A. Would support a high protective tariff.
B. Would be less supportive of the tariff.
3. Price supports:
A. Would generally favor federal price supports for agricultural products.
B. Would generally favor a market economy for farm products.
4. Labor unions:
A. Would work for more restrictions on labor unions.
B. Would work for stronger labor unions.
5. Taxes:
A. Would favor a higher tax on corporations.
B. Would favor a lower tax rate on corporations.
6. Minimum wage:
A. Would permit management to determine the minimum pay.
B. Would favor minimum wage legislation.
7. Public works:
A. Would favor a program of public works to stimulate a sagging economy.
B. Would favor a program of concessions to industry to stimulate the economy.
8. Interest:
A. Would accept higher interest rates.
B. Would favor lower interest rates.
9. Loan program:
A. Would favor a program of government loans for small businesses.
B. Would favor a program of loans using private capital.
10. Social security:
A. Would favor less involvement by the government in social security.
B. Would favor a strong government run system.
Some of these questions are almost non-issues today. In the opinion of the writer (at least for the 1950s), a die-hard Democrat would check "A" for the odd-numbered questions and "B" for the even numbers. A dyed-in-the-wool Republican would check "B" for the odd numbers and "A" for the even numbered questions. Don't be surprised if you don't go along with your party on all issues. During that time frame, unlike today, there was often as much difference within each party as there was between the two parties. At times, the parties have flip-flopped on the issues. No claim is made as to the validity of this test. By all means, don't change your party affiliation on the basis of the results.

ROCKFORD — A commercial fire caused about $250,000 in damages Saturday morning at Roger Brothers Galvanizing, 2007 Kishwaukee St. Firefighters were called about 10:05 a.m.
Upon arrival they found heavy fire in the one-story structure and learned some welding had taken place inside the plant when a small fire started, said Rockford Fire District Chief James Rife. Employees tried to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher, but could not do so before it spread.
Rife also said there were several chemicals involved such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and hydraulic fluid. The Rockford Fire Hazardous-Material Team and Rockford Public Works were called to the scene to evaluate environmental concerns.
As many as 32 firefighters were on scene before the fire was deemed under control at 10:45 a.m.
A preliminary investigation shows the fire was accidental.
Rogers Brothers Galvanizing, since 1898, specializes in hot-dip galvanizing for a variety of products.
