Specifically, the recommendations or suggestions were made by board member and finance committee Chairman Johnny Hilton and were supported by the other committee members in attendance. Now, Hilton will present the list to the CAITLAN WALZER / THE SUMTER ITEM full board for consideration ABOVE: Every Saturday, from 8:30 HILTON as new district policies at its a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Downtown next meeting Aug. 14.

BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

The Crestwood High School varsity boys soccer team had a historic season in 2016. The Knights went 13-9 on the season and finished second in Re- gion VI-4A. Now here’s where the history comes in: CHS won the first playoff game in program history. And there was even more history. Forward Ed- ward Acevedo be- came the first ACEVEDO Knight selected to the all-state team, being named to the 4A team by the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association.

BY IVY MOORE [email protected]

“Nursing assistants are the back- bone of Brookdale,” is the consensus of the staff of Brookdale Sumter senior living facility, including Executive Director Sherri Scott and Sales and Marketing Manager Mireille Elie- McLean. “They do some of everything here,” Elie-McLean said, as Scott nodded in agreement. For that reason, they said, Brook- dale is celebrating its nursing assistants — they call them resident care associates or R.A.s — during Nursing Assistants Week, which began June 15, with Sumter Mayor Joseph T. McElveen signing an official procla- mation of the observance at City Hall. The celebration continues through June 22. Resident Care Coordinator Toni Mitchell and Resident Care Associate Donisha Hogan agreed the most important attribute, one they share, for an R.A. is “the desire to help.” Mitchell has worked at Brookdale for almost IVY MOORE / THE SUMTER ITEM eight years, while Hogan is nearing Resident Care Associate Donisha Hogan, left, and Resident Care Coordinator Toni Mitchell, right, check Evelyn Burdick’s blood pres- her second anniversary. sure Friday morning in her apartment at Brookdale Sumter, formerly Sterling House.
