Library still in the dark
Programs still on schedule

Special Contributor
As of the writing of this article, we still do not have power to the library. We are uncertain
when we will be able to return to our normal operations, but in the meantime, here’s what
we can offer.
First, we have limited curbside service Monday through Friday, 9 am until noon. If you
had a book that was on hold and we have contacted you to let you know it’s in, or want to
return items like DVDs which should not be returned in the bookdrop, please go to the back
door of the library! We have set up a temporary desk just inside the door, in an area where
we have enough light to work.
Second, we have no wi-fi or phone service at the library. If you need to call to renew
books, ask questions, etc. please call the Jenkins
County Memorial Library at 478-982-4244. If
you need to use the computers or wifi, please
visit the Jenkins County Memorial Library at 223
Daniel Street in Millen. Please note that they are
not open on Thursdays, but we will have staff
answering phones from 10:30 am until 6 pm,
Monday through Friday.
Third, if you need to make copies or print items,
we will not be able to do it at the Screven County
Library. You may either visit the Jenkins County
Memorial Library, or send them to our email at
scl@sjrls.org as usual, and we will print it in
Millen and bring it to Sylvania the next day.
Fourth, and a frequently asked question - if your
books/DVDs/etc. were due during the time that
the library was closed, there will be no overdue
fines! Feel free to keep them until we reopen.
To find out more information as quickly as possible, please “Like!” us on Facebook and
follow us on Instagram at @screvencountylibrary - that will be the first place we will post
the good news!
Enough bad news, though - let’s get to the fun stuff, which is that yes, we will still have
Farm Bureau coming to visit! Since it wouldn’t be very fun to have it in a building with no
lights or A/C, we will have this event at the Cail Center on Tuesday, July 12 at 10 am.
The Screven County Library Board of Trustees will meet on Thursday, July 21 at 4 pm,
location to be determined. The Screven-Jenkins Regional Library Board will meet on
Thursday, July 28 at 4 pm in the Jenkins County Library.
Well, that’s all for now - we will see you at the library soon!

Vidalia onions recalled after
testing finds Listeria
A&M Famis of Lyons, Georgia, is recalling whole Vidalia onions because of potential
Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The low amount of sulfur in the Georgia soil in
which they are grown helps give them a particularly sweet taste. In fact, Vidalia onions are
known to be mild and sweet enough to be peeled and eaten like apples.
However, the recall comes after internal company testing detected Listeria on a single
pack line. The onions were packed on the one-pack line between June 20-23, 2022.
The company shipped the recalled product directly to retailer distribution centers in
Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The distribution centers further distributed
the recalled product to retail stores in Florida, Georgia, New York, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania.
The onions were available for sale June 22 - 24, 2022 at Publix stores in the state of
Florida and in Publix stores in Georgia.
Consumers can identify the recalled Vidalia Onions by the purchase location, PLU 4159.
The recalled Vidalia Onions are sold in bulk in the produce section of retail stores.
Anyone who has the recalled product in their possession should not consume it. The
product should be disposed and may return to the place of purchase with a receipt for a
refund.
“The health and safety of consumers are our top priorities here at A&M Farms. We are
glad that most of the implicated product never reached stores, but we are focused intently
on alerting consumers in those areas that did receive the onions,” said Aries Haygood, co
owner of A&M Farms. “We stopped packing on the implicated line, and I am personally
overseeing a full cleaning and sanitation of the equipment and an internal review of our
processes.”
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but
can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten
any recalled products and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical
treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure.
Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for
symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to
Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.
Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle
aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are required to
diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses.
Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people such as cancer patients
who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-
threatening infections, and other complications. Although infected pregnant women may
experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery,
infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
