Trash, trash and more trash litters roadside along Hwy. 69
Cans, paper and plastic items could be picked up by the barrel. I had noticed a lot of litter before Christmas, but now it seems there is twice as much. Before the cold weather got most of the weeds and greenery, it was not quite as evident. It appears that some of the residents, whose homes are located on Highway 69, have been diligent in picking up the trash near them. There are many other areas where there are no houses and the trash abounds. It's very disturbing to think there are so many who have no respect for our beautiful countryside. It makes one wonder about the property surrounding these litterers' homes. Do they trash their yards and streets, too? I challenge residents along Highway 69 to Coffeeville to establish a group of volunteers to pick up trash on a regular basis. It may take several groups of volunteers. Maybe one of our county commissioners could assist with this project. I know Clarke County Commissioner Patricia DuBose has been working on cleaning up our county for a long time. For as much trash as there is on Hwy. 69, one would think the local police or state patrolmen could ticket some of these violators. Some trash also litters the neighborhood in which I live but we have one or two residents who have enough pride to regularly pick up the trash.
One former resident Jim Bailey, who now lives on Hwy. 69 near Jackson Academy, was always picking up litter. I never personally thanked him but I know several who did. Thanks Jim. We miss you and your family. With a shelf arranged slightly below the center, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in a casserole dish just large enough to hold it, and one that has an oven-proof lid. Sprinkle pork on all sides with Worcestershire, then press sugar coating on all sides of pork. Pour apple juice in the bottom of the casserole dish. Do not pour over the meat. Cover tightly. Place pork in oven and turn oven down to 200 degrees; roast, without opening the oven for about five hours, until meat is so tender that it literally falls apart. If meat does not fall apart easily, cover and return to oven and roast 30 minutes more. Sprinkle with salt. Do not omit this salt, it is vital for the taste of the dish. Serve hot or at room temperature. Note: This can easily be done in the crockpot. Set on high for 30 minutes, then turn down to low for the night or day.
Turnip greens are the perfect side-dish for this recipe.
