4B WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 2018 COMMUNITY PRESS NORTHEAST Properly dispose of your unused prescription drugs When doing your spring cleaning, remember to clean out your medicine cabinets as well. According to the 2015 Na- tional Survey on Drug Use and estimated 6.4 million Americans abuse controlled prescription drugs each year. Most abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and times from the homemedicine cabinet. Having unused medicine at home also increases the risk of accidental drug among children. Misuse of prescription drugs can also lead people down a path to heroin addiction.That makes it even more critical to properly dispose of unused drugs.

If you have leftover prescriptions: Safely dispose of the medications using a pre- scription drug drop box such as the one at right. Scratch out all identify- ing information on the vial to make it unread- able to protect your privacy. Do not flush medicines down the sink or toilet unless the label or pa- tient information that accompanied the medi- cine specifically instructs you to do so. Interact for Health has cre- ated an online map of local prescription drug drop boxes. You can dispose of your unused drugs on National Pre- scription Drug Take Back Day, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Saturday, April 28, or anytime year-round. Find a prescription drug drop box near you by visiting www.interactforhealth.org/ To learn more about National Prescription Drug Take Back https://takebackday.dea.gov/.

It starts on April 23 and runs through May 20. There seems to be a lot of wild turkey now so good hunting. The birds have taken a lesson it seems like from my cat Mr.

Chester. When his bowl of dry food is low he settle down till I it up. The birds had one feeder that was low on food so they were chirping at me about it. They had plenty of food in the other feeders but it seems like they pick one feeder to like better than the others. Af- ter I that one, they quieted down and started eating.

I have seen some kinds of birds at my feeders lately and accord- ing to the bird book they are cow birds. They have a brown head and black body. I think this is the time I have had them. The bird book tells me that they lay their eggs in other nest so that the other birds can raise their babies. That seem quite right but that is nature.

Where I mow grass for some neigh- bors, they have barn swallows in their barns. The swallows feed when I am mowing and they are very fast I have had to watch that they get me. By the middle of August they leave. It is interesting to watch them teach their young to and get stronger so they can with all of the birds. The pileated woodpecker was work- ing on a dead tree last week.

He was getting whatever was under the bark. I have the redheaded woodpecker and a little downy woodpecker at my bird feeders. I have bought 12 bags of feed for the birds so far this winter. They are worth the expense I sure like to watch them feed. Of course, the squirrels have to eat too and when the squirrels spill the feed on the ground, the little turtle gloves and deer and raccoon and pos- sum enjoy the feed.

Thursday, May 3, will be the Nation- al Day of Prayer. There will be a service at the courthouse in Batavia and I have the honor of reading from the Bible II Chronicles, Chapter 7, Verse 14. This is a very special honor for me. Also, the Baptist Church here in Bethel will have a prayer service at 7 p.m. that day.

All of the pastors will take part in the prayer service and then there will be some re- freshments after the service so folks can visit. Check your schedule for the services they are holding and get involved. This will be a special time for all. We need to be in prayer. forget the Grange at Nichols- ville will have a plant sale from 9 a.m.

3 p.m. on May 5, The Grange is located on State Route 222 in Nicholsville. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord.
