Blyth Apothecary begins
drug disposal campaign
Been wondering what to do with
those old prescription drugs taking
up space in your medicine cabinet?
Dan Taylor of Blyth Apothecary
is encouraging everyone to bring in
any left over medication they may
have to the pharmacy between the
dates of Dec. 9-19. "I thought of
this time of year because Christmas
tends to be a time when things are
getting reorganized and though
people can bring in medication for
disposal at any time of the year I
thought it might be a good
reminder if we set aside some spe
cial days to do it," said Mr. Taylor.
Having worked in a poison con
trol centre in Kitchener from 1977
to 1991, Mr. Taylor is well aware
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9,1992. PAGE 3.
of the dangers these left over drugs
pose for children, but he adds, they
can also be dangerous for adults,
who will often use an outdated pre
scription for self-treatment which
can be very hazardous as some
medications, like Tetracycline for
example, will produce toxic chemi
cals when they are kept past the
expiration date.
Mr. Taylor says it's difficult to
determine when prescriptions
should be disposed of because of
the varying speed at which they
degenerate. He definitely wouldn't
keep any on hand for more than a
year, he said. Should anyone have
some medication on which they
would like more specific informa
lion he would be glad to help them,
he said.
Medication, once brought to the
Apothecary will be dissolved, then
stored until it can be taken to a
proper waste disposal site, said Mr.
Taylor. This is upon recommenda
tion of the inspector at the Ontario
College of Pharmacists, he added.

Greeters at Blyth Christian
Reformed Church, on Sunday, Dec.
6, were Koos and Rita Verburg.
Ushers were Joanne Wilts and
Conrad Bos.
Rev. Cecil VanNiejenhuis from
Kitchener CRC, was guest pastor
for the day. Baptismal Form No. 3,
was chosen for the administration
of the sacrament, to Adrianna
Alena DeVries.
The Law was taken from
Galations 5, a letter written by the
Apostle Paul to one of the first
established churches in history.
Scripture for the sermon was
chosen from Numbers 20 vs. 22-29.
Rev. VanNiejenhuis outlined the
grumbling attitude of the Israelites
as they travelled through the desert
without water, with high priests,
Moses and Aaron as their leaders.
The Lord had instructed Moses and
Aaron to speak to the rock which
would then open up and provide
fresh water to the crowd. In their
anger Moses and Aaron struck out
at the rock with a wooden rod,
showing their displeasure to the
Israelites for their distrust in God.
As a result of their improper
actions, Aaron was disrobed of his
royal priesthood. The royal blue
cloak adorned with gems, bells and
golden crown was handed over toe
Aaron's son Eleazar to carry on the
priesthood. Aaron was discredited
and neither high priest was destined
to enter into the “promised land”,
known as modern day Israel,
though Moses reached the border,
as stated in Duet. 34. Rev.
VanNiejenhuis pointed out that
Moses and Aaron were God's
mediators to the Israelites. Our
mediator today is Jesus Christ, he
said. God showed his mercy and
grace to the Israelites as he does to
us today. God's anger is sometimes
necessary, however his mercy and
grace triumph over judgement.
In his concluding statements Rev.
VanNiejenhuis suggested that we
mediate grace and mercy to others,
to be channels of God's peace
through Jesus Christ.
