To the Screven County Recreation Department and its staff for a job well done. Year round the local recreation department provides hundreds of youth with fun, character-building healthy activities. However, during the summer the staff adds to its workload by hosting district and state tournaments that not only promote the vast number of county positives, but also bolster the local economy. The all-star teams, with their coaches and slew of accompanying parents, spend money on motels, gasoline and food. Sylvania’s restaurants were packed Thursday, Friday and Saturday with out-of-town visitors. The governing bodies of the county and the city should follow the lead of Sylvania Telephone by publicly thanking the recreation department for their most recent and continous string of success stories.
