Litter committee meets in Grove Hill "Stop accepting litter," said county commissioner Patricia DuBose, the chairman of Clarke County Citizens Against Littering. "It's ugly. It does not have to be there. If we can get the public to stop accepting it, they will call in when they see illegal dump sites or they will even rally their neighborhoods to clean up." The committee met Nov. 1 at the County Courthouse. The volunteer committee is a subcommittee of the Clarke County Development Foundation. "The sheriff has his crew ready to pick up litter on county roads," DuBose said. "We have named for him the roads we have cited as being the most in need." Those roads include Highway 69, Club Wiley Road, Love Road, Toddtown Road and Morning Star Road. An illegal dump site was also mentioned on Bethlehem Road. "…We have taken a threeprong approach to eradicating litter," she said. "It is education, enforcement and eradication." In addition, the committee has received the Governor's Special Award for the third year in a row from Alabama PALS (People Against a Littered State). They will share the award with Marshall County. "It's all due to the work of everybody," DuBose said. "…The committee is the winner."
Evan Carden, editor of The South Alabamian newspaper in Jackson, was named by PALS as "Newspaperman of the Year."
