This landmark study, which was published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases addresses long-standing fears of a link between lupus medication and cancer. Systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue such as the skin, joints, kidneys and the brain, leading to inflammation and lesions. Previous research has suggested that lupus patients have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when cells called lymphocytes, which usually help protect the body from infection and disease, begin growing and multiplying uncontrollably, leading to tumor growth. • • • In a small pilot study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, a team of academic researchers has pinpointed how vitamin D3 and omega-3 fatty acids may enhance the immune system’s ability to clear the brain of amyloid plaques, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. • • • Rates of hemorrhage for older patients on warfarin therapy are much higher than rates reported in clinical trials, found a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Warfarin, a commonly used blood thinner, is used to treat patients with atrial fibrillation to help prevent stroke and blood clots. • • • Brought to you as a public service by HENNIKER PHARMACY • 603-428-3456 P.O.Box 718 • Proctor Square • Henniker, NH 03242 Back Row (L to R) Ronald Leone, Robert Collins, Herbert Holmes, Howard Ross.

J.D. and Carol Colcord of Warner hosted a 60th high school reunion at their home on July 20th. Seven alumni from as far away as Utah, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts and New Hampshire gathered together to reminisce about their experiences over the years and show off grand and great grandchildren photographs. The celebration included a cook-out and a green and white decorated cake with the school colors, green and white. A group photograph was taken to memorialize the event. Warner man killed in Florida accident A Warner motorcyclist was killed in Florida last Friday after hitting a truck that pulled in front of him. The Florida Highway Patrol reports that a GMC 1500 pickup being driven by Andrew N. Crone, 26, of Bradenton was northbound on U.S. 41 and began turning left onto 53rd Avenue West, through a solid yellow light. Riding southbound on his 2000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Travis L. Podgis, 28, of Warner, N.H., laid his motorcycle onto its side, but could not avoid striking Crone's truck. Podgis, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle, and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Charges are expected to be filed. Whaleback ski area sold at foreclosure Whaleback Mountain ski area has been sold at foreclosure auction to the bank holding the mortgage on the property. As first reported in the Valley News, Randolph National Bank was the sole bidder, offering the reserve price of $848,000 for the 154-acre property. The ski area, which first opened as Snowcrest in 1955, was renamed in 1968, and closed in March for lack of new investors. Bank officials say several people are interested in purchasing and reopening the facility. According to John Schiffman, who tried to raise money to run the area, Whaleback will be operating again this winter. Warner sued over civil rights violation?

Before everyone had cameras (and then cell phone cameras), postcards captured the local sights and made them available inexpensively. Friends and relatives could send photos of their town, local celebrations, and sometimes, its people, with a short personal note, for only a one or two penny stamp. The sentimental value of these photo souvenirs of your own town, or your own vacation trip, meant that postcards were saved over the years. This volume of treasured postcards from earlier times, and people’s love of accumulating these glimpses of the past, lead to the hobby of postcard collecting, called Deltiology, the third largest hobby today. Larry Cote purchased two Newport postcards in the early 1980's and was intrigued with the history of his town that they presented. The two postcards comprised his entire collection until 1993, when he met Hal Campbell, a long-time avid collector of postcards from all of the towns in the area. Today Larry has about 800 postcards from the Newport, Guild, Kelleyville and Corbin Park. www.granitequill.com | august 9, 2013 | The Messenger | Page 7 Newport Historical Society explores the history thru postcards On Tuesday, August 13, Larry will give a slide presentation on the history of postcards, and their value in capturing local history.
