Lori Burt, Registered Massage Therapist visited Monday with several residents benefiting from her skill. The Bethel Reform women came in Monday afternoon to provide assistance and prizes at bingo. They will be with us each Monday in November and following the bingo games they lead a hymn sing for the residents who wish to take part. The Rev.

GUELPH — A team of scientists in Guelph have isolated and identified two polyphenol (antioxi- dant) compounds from Chinese green tea. Both show promise of substituting for antibi- otics. The most active polyphenol compounds and crude extracts of green tea were found to be effective in fighting some major foodborne pathogens like, E.coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureas. Since green tea con- tains high levels of polyphenols, crude extracts of the com- pounds could become a natural alternative to controlling foodborne dis- eases and reducing the use of synthetic antibi- otics.
