CRESTVIEW — A long-time employee at Crestview Manor is retiring.

Ernestine Edmunds, known as Dean, began working at the Pearl Street facility when it first opened its doors.

“She for 35 years cared [for] or touched the lives of 5,000 elder, fragile and at-risk residents, working the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift,” Director Becky Brice-Nash said. “She never called out (took a day

off), and cared, did laundry, comforted and was a good ear to lean on.

“She loved the residents the most. I’ve known her for eight years and she has always been the foundation of the manor. She saved many lives and was there when God called (his) angels to heaven.”

Edmunds’ last day working there was Feb. 2. Relatives, fellow staff members and residents recognized her years of service with cake and other refreshments.

CRESTVIEW — The Oka-loosa County Commission

on Wednes-day approved financing for phase three of the PJ Adams Parkway project.

The project will add two

lanes along the road from Highway 85 to Wild Horse Drive, turning about a mile into a four-lane road.

Construction was broken into four phases while the c o m m i s s i o n s o r t e d o u t funding. Wednesday’s deci-sion accelerated the project, so construction will begin for the first three phases simultaneously.

Construction should start by the end of the year, County Commissioner Nathan Boyles said.

There will be some incon-venience for drivers, he said, but the road will remain open.

“It will be far less incon-venient than not doing the project,” Boyles said. “The short-term pain will be more than worth the long-term gain. We’ll avoid major gridlock.”

County Engineer Scott Bitterman agreed that the project was necessary despite any construction woes.

“Any roadway construc-tion is inconvenient,” he said. “But it will be well worth the inconvenience.”

The benefit of starting all three phases at the same time is there will be a “shorter total duration when the roadway is under construction,” Bitter-man said.

Phase four of the project is delayed until more funding becomes available, according to the commissioners.

Once construction on the road begins, it will last for about a year, Bitterman said.

There will be some inconvenience for PJ Adams Parkway drivers during construction, Okaloosa Commissioner Nathan Boyles said, but the road will remain open. “It will be far less inconvenient than not doing the project,” Boyles said. “The short-term pain will be more than worth the long-term gain. We’ll avoid major gridlock.” [FILE PHOTO]

Crestview Manor recognizes retiree’s accomplishments

By Heather Osbourne315-4440 | @[email protected]

CRESTVIEW — It was just 52 years ago when David Wheeler became one of the last children in Oka-loosa County to suffer from segregation at the county’s only black high school, Carver-Hill.

H i d d e n a w a y a t t h e C a r v e r - H i l l M u s e u m on McClelland Street in Crestview lay numerous photographs, trophies, uniforms and other memo-rabilia encapsulating the stories of those 17 graduates from the Class of 1966 and the school they call a place of hope, strength and love.

“It was more than a school for us,” said the 71-year-old Wheeler, now the president of the Carver-Hill Memo-rial and Historical Society.

“This was a segregated community. It’s where Afro-American people lived. Carver-Hill was like the heartbeat, the center of the community.”

On Thursday Wheeler wandered through the bookshelves of Carver-Hill artifacts, which brought back memories of his days at the school. Segregation

may have been unfair, but Wheeler said the black teachers at Carver-Hill were committed to giving students the best education possible.

Wheeler stopped and pointed to a portrait in a row of 10 educators’ photographs.

Mrs. Lillian Eugenia “Jean” Hofstad, 81, of Mary Esther passed away peacefully on February 6th, 2018 sur-rounded by her loving family. She was born Lillian Eugenia Evans in Florala, Alabama September 26, 1936. She graduated from Troy State College in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Immediately upon her graduation, she began a career in education that would span four decades until her retirement in 2003. Employing her philosophy that all children have the God-given right to an educa-tion, she once stated that one of her crown-ing achievements as a school teacher was that she was a pioneer in the struggle to end segrega-tion in Florida schools. As such, she was one of the first teachers in the state of Florida to vote against segrega-tion thereby affording all children, regardless of race, the opportunity to receive an education.

In 1963, Jean mar-ried Orlando “Swede” Hofstad and together they were blessed with 3 children. They celebrated their 54th wedding anniver-sary in December.

Jean is survived by her loving husband, Orlando Swede Hofs-tad, and 3 children, Paul J. Hofstad (Heidi) of Virginia Beach, Vir-ginia, John O. Hofstad (Rose) of Holt, Florida, and Kimberley Hof-stad Sikes (Allen) of North Pole, Alaska. She adored her 7 grand-children, Jacqueline, Buddy, Tyler, Trevor, Holly, Spencer, and Haley, and 6 great grandchildren. She

also leaves behind two brothers, John Truman Evans (Inez) and Henry Evans, and 2 sisters, Lena Cassady and Joy Woodham (Arnold) as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, John Truman Evans and mother Lil-lian “Bill” Evans.

She has been a mem-ber of the First Baptist Church of Mary Esther since 1967. Recently, Joy Woodham said it best of Jean, “I love her with all of my heart. God has never created a more loving, humble, sweet southern lady.” Jean Hofstad truly embodied southern hospitality and we will all miss her. We know, however, that Jesus has welcomed an adoring angel into His home.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00am Friday, February 9th at the First Baptist Church of Mary Esther, 28 North Street, Mary Esther, FL 32569 (phone 850-243-8300).

Our family’s hero, Kenneth R. Moye, passed away on Febru-ary 5, 2018. Although we longed for more time together, the Lord has called him home. The Bible says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him.”

Ken, 88 years old, was born on June 30, 1929 in Wayne County, NC. In 1947 Ken came to Florida to serve his country at Eglin Air Force Base. He saw Norma Jean Raybon and instantly became a Florida boy. They were married on February 16, 1949. In 2001, after 51 years of marriage, Norma Jean went to be with the Lord. Ken was also preceded in death by his mother- Emma Moye, a brother- Elbert Moye, and a sister- Grace Moye Lamm.

Ken is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 14 years- Patri-cia Crouch Moye and her children Nadia and Basim Nasr. Ken also leaves behind a beloved daughter- Marsha Moye, and grandchil-dren- Chris and Tisha Melton, Tippi Mendes

and Mike and Katie Perna, great grandchil-dren-Baylee Mendes, Grace and Emma Melton, and Luke and Avery Perna, a brother-in-law-Thomas Lamm, a loving nephews and nieces-David and Tonda Moye Bradley, Will and Lindsay Earp and Han-nah and Jacob, David and Beth Bradley and special relatives-Blain and Rebecca Nor-man and family and Katherine Crouch.

Ken was a man of many accomplishments. He had many lifelong friends. He was a proud veteran retired from the Army National Guard. He was a master car-penter and craftsman, retiring from the wood-shop on Eglin Field in 1987. He was a former Shriner and enjoyed driving families to the burn hospital in Tampa. He was a member of the Mason Concord Lodge #50 F & A M. He was always willing to help a friend in need, work on various projects for civic organizations and schools, as well as build things at the request of his “girls”. Some of his handiwork can still be seen in the wooden pumpkins, scarecrows

and sunflower decora-tions adorning down-town Crestview in the fall. Although he built many things in his lifetime, Ken would say that the most impor-tant thing he built was his family. Our fam-ily was blessed by his constant love and sup-port. We were enter-tained with his many (mostly true) stories. We were encouraged by his sense of humor and his attitude toward life. We will not be the same without him.

In the final year of his life, Dr. Wayne Jus-tice, Dr. Jason Boole, and their staffs treated him like family. Emer-ald Coast Hospice also cared for Ken and our family with love and compassion.

Funeral services will be held at Victorious Life Worship Center beginning at 2pm, Fri-day, February 9th with Pastor Donnie Caden-head officiating. Burial will take place in Live Oak Park Memorial Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2pm at the church.

PHOTO NEWS]

“This was Coach Free-man, my football coach,” Wheeler said before moving to another one.

“And this was Mozel Thomas,” he said, point-ing to another photograph. “If you went to Carver-Hill and started in first grade, she was your teacher and she was tough.”

Wheeler said the row of teachers’ photographs commemorated the ones who had passed away. A smaller table on his left dis-played five photos of those still living.

The Carver-Hill High School, according to the museum’s timeline plas-tered on its walls, was built on School Avenue in 1954. It was named after George Washington Carver, a botanist and inventor, and Ed Hill, a local advo-cate for black schools. The city block of School Avenue was purchased for only $50 in 1944.

During segregation, Carver-Hill High School was the only school in Oka-loosa County where black high school students could be educated.

“The high school kids that would have gone to Fort Walton Beach High School, Choctaw High School or Niceville High School had to get on a bus at 4 a.m. and make the journey up here to go to high school,” Wheeler said.

In 1966, while Wheeler was fighting in the Viet-nam War, Okaloosa County began desegregating and

black students were allowed to attend Crestview High School.

The Carver-Hill School stayed open for the younger students until 1969, when all segregation was elimi-nated in the area.

T h e C a r v e r - H i l l Museum was built in 1997 and is said to be the only one in Okaloosa County to emphasize black his-tory. The late Caroline Baker Allen, founder and first president of the Carver-Hill Memorial and Historical Society, helped found the museum with other Carver-Hill alumni in an effort to keep the history alive.

Although the museum’s first purpose was to serve as Carver-Hill High School’s archive, it eventually grew into a museum. Dish pans, slop buckets, projectors, military uniforms, news-papers and more decorate the back room.

The history, though, also spreads out of the museum and onto McClelland

Street. The neighborhood surrounding the museum is where the families linked to Carver-Hill High School lived and continues to live.

Although the streets are no longer made of dirt and a few new buildings have replaced the old, Wheeler said everything mostly looks as it did back then.

“We’ve seen some changes, but basically things are the same because no one invests in this community any-more,” Wheeler said. “They are invested in other communities because their economic status has changed. That’s what we really wanted to happen anyway.

“My wish is that when we move on to other places is that we don’t forget. I’d like to see it be a well-kept community even though it’s an old well-kept community.”

FAITH

OPINION

I sometimes wonder why people, myself included, try to do

things on our own.It seems to me we may

not want to inconve-nience someone know-ing that time is very

valuable. Or maybe it’s because we don’t want to run the risk of rejection — of them saying no.

Perhaps we don’t want to admit we don’t have the wherewithal it takes to fix something. Or maybe we don’t want to admit we need help or that we messed up, and risk ridicule.

It is silly of us to not seek help for the chal-lenges that come our way. And it is equally silly of us to not seek

God’s help when it comes to more seri-ous matters that can plague us at times.

God will not respond to us as we fear a per-son might. God doesn’t reject us. He won’t be inconvenienced. He won’t say “no” unless it isn’t in our best interest. He won’t get tired of helping us.

The prophet Isa-iah wrote, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord

is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understand-ing is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint and strength-ens the powerless.”

These are true words of hope and prom-ise! They are words of encouragement to trust God with a level of faith so our lives can be strengthened and renewed, so we

can receive inner for-titude to accomplish what might otherwise seem impossible.

If you have been strug-gling with an issue that seems overwhelming, if you have been fearful of what the future may hold for you, if you have been going through the pain of a broken or lost relationship, remember that the Bible assures you that God heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.

The Lord lifts up the downtrodden.

He cares for everyone.And God takes

pleasure in those who revere him.

All you have to do is ask. God will hear and provide exactly what is needed at the time it is needed.

The Rev. Mark Broad-head is pastor at Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview.

F R O M T H E P U L P I T

You are not alone

W e have grown an alpha-bet soup of

powerful agencies like the FBI, DHS, NSA, DOJ, IRS, etc.

We give them immense pow-ers to arrest and to ruin lives, with scant accountability.

We allow them to operate in clubby secrecy because they tell us we have to.

Why? When Congress

(which supposedly has oversight) subpoe-nas them, they do not respond. Everyone is afraid to speak critically of them, as the critics might become targets.

What have wecreated?

This “memo,” which documents how the Democrats weapon-ized the FBI for political purposes, is cause for reflection and reform. Thanks to the “Steele Dossier,” a best-selling book about him, and these Intelligence Committee memos, President Trump is rid-ing high. Soon he will

take credit for Making America Read Again.

My dad was in law enforcement; I have respect for the rank and file. But these abuses were committed by the entrenched politi-cal class of swamp-rat leadership at the FBI and DOJ. Most of them were the result of eight years of Democrat influence, padding the appointed management hallways with hyper-political bureaucrats, all pandering for the promotion attention of what they thought was a certain Hillary Clin-ton presidential win.

The FBI has 35,000 employees and an $8.4 billion budget. That is $240,000 per employee. They were involved in about 10,000 con-victions a year. That cost us $840,000 per conviction — before

DOJ prosecution and incarceration costs. We probably spend over $1 million per conviction.

In a nation with the highest percent of its citizens in jail, maybe we ought to rethink this.

We are 4.4 percent of the world’s popula-tion and we have 22 percent of the world’s prisoners. If you give government this many agencies, money, and vast and unaccount-able powers, more of us will be arrested.

It shouldn’t, but it scares me to write that last paragraph.

The stock market cratered soon after the memo about the FBI and DOJ trying to fix the election came out. It makes us seem, ironically, like Russia or maybe Uganda when entrenched government actors employ dishonest tactics to stay in power.

The hypocrisy of the left saying this memo should not have been released is astounding. Leftists pat themselves on the back with a movie

like “The Post,” which is about the heroic release of the Pentagon Papers detailing the lies of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations that led us into Vietnam.

Lefties also hated it when J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI surveilled Mar-tin Luther King’s affairs and Judge Roy Moore’s intimidation of women as a DA.

Watergate and Iran Contra information was good, accord-ing to libs. But when today’s Democrat FBI abuses happen, we shouldn’t expose them?

According to an analysis by The Hill, of the 14 major federal agencies whose employ-ees personally donated to presidential politics, “By the end of Septem-ber 2016, about $1.9 million, or 95 percent, went to the Democratic nominee’s campaign.”

Ninety-four percent of DOJ employee dona-tions were to Hillary. Mueller’s lawyers gave entirely to Hillary and Democrats; one gave

$33,000. If you don’t think legal outcomes are based on biases or pay-back, ask the O.J. jury.

A witness at the Mueller grand jury in Washington D.C. said it looked like a Bernie Sanders rally. These are the people rubber-stamping these indictments.

The reality is that, if you give Ex-FBI Direc-tor Mueller $15 million, a big Democrat donor staff, and all our laws-layered-upon-laws in America, he will get 90 percent of us if he wants to. It is like a police officer tailing your car for 1,000 miles: He will eventually find a reason to arrest you.

Neither Hillary nor any political enemy needs to be harassed as a blood sport by this government morass.

The delusional James Comey keeps Tweeting, trying to defend himself.

He said, “Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy,” trying somehow to tie Trump to McCarthyism.

Weird, because Joe McCarthy ruined countless lives with a witch-hunt about Rus-sia collusion. Who then is really the McCarthy? How could our ex-FBI director be so wrong? Without 35,000 FBI employees covering for him, reality prevails.

Even liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz says, “Criminalizing politi-cal differences hurts democracy.” And GOP congressmen are mute as this governmental blunt object is swung.

We must stand up to politically motivated prosecutions. Should America die next week, it would be a shame if the FBI investigation said, “There were no signs of struggle.”

Why the ‘memo’ matters — and should scare everyone“Watergate and

Iran Contra information was good, according to libs. But when

today’s Democrat FBI abuses happen, we

shouldn’t expose them?”

C R E S T V I E W — B r i d g e w a y C e n t e r Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Daniel Cobbs has announced his plan to retire from BCI on July 31.

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously in January that Bonnie R. Barlow, BCI’s current chief operating officer, will become chief execu-tive officer Aug. 1.

She has been with BCI for approximately 30 years, with 27 years of management experi-ence responsibilities. She will ensure conti-nuity of leadership and the successful trajectory Cobbs created for the organization.

BCI’s top six achieve-ments over the past 25 years are:

•National accredi-tation awards for 24 consecutive years.

•Behavioral Insight Interviewing technique for a cohesive talented, diverse BCI workforce.

•Transformation to Information Technology systems in all areas to be paperless, with elec-tronic documentation for increased efficiency and effectiveness.

• S t r a t e g i c p a r t -nership with ABH of Lakeview Center, Inc.

and Chautauqua Health Services for a “full risk” contract with Medic-aid health maintenance organizations capita-tion. This requires that BCI pay for behavioral health inpatient hospital admissions for Okaloosa residents.

•On-site pharmacy services at BCI out-patient locations in Fort Walton Beach and Crestview.

•Creation of the Chil-dren’s Specialty Services for Coordination of Care with Early Childhood Court, and the activa-tion of BCI’s Community Action Team. The CAT is on-call 24 hours a day for children with behav-ioral health disorders and their families. This includes the therapeutic focus on parenting skills.

Les Chambers, 2017 board chair, and Doug Burgess, 2018 board c h a i r , s t a t e d , “ T h e BCI Board of Trust-ees appreciates Daniel Cobbs’ leadership. Since January 1993, Dan has been the chief archi-tect and vital element

in the development and success of Bridgeway Center, Inc. The board and staff will miss Dan and his inspiring authen-tic leadership. We wish him much success in the future. We want to thank Dan for over 25 years of dedicated service, which involved many signifi-cant accomplishments.”

Cobbs is retiring to be more active with out-door sports, cooking and volunteering.

“While I will miss everyone at BCI as I move into this next chapter of my life, I plan to continue my support of BCI and the work that has become so important for children and families who have or are currently at risk with behavioral health care (mental illness or sub-stance use disorders),” he said.

“I want to give my deepest gratitude to all who have been so sup-portive of Bridgeway Center Inc. and to me personally over the years: BCI team members, Board of Trustees, and, of course, our commu-nity partners. Without everyone, BCI would not be as strong and vibrant as it is. It has been an honor to have been the leader of this valuable organization.”
