Greater, greatest, grow up

Where are the adults in Navarre?  Just in the past few weeks we have seen childish, immature and bad behavior from many different areas.  One of the most senseless acts is Tony Alexander, a disgruntled ex-employee of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce seeking to open a new “greater” chamber of commerce.  It can only be concluded that he seeks to harm the chamber that has been established for 41 years. 

Broxson wins mud fight for state Senate

Emerging from a campaign that brought out the worst in both candidates and some supporters, Doug Broxson took a commanding early lead over fellow Republican Mike Hill for the Northwest Florida state Senate seat about an hour after the polls closed on Tuesday night.

Hurlburt airman charged with arson

Thomas Ross Kindinger, age 25, of The Reserve Apartments in Gulf Breeze has been arrested on charges of arson from the State Fire Marshal’s Office relating to a fire at the apartment community in the early morning hours of Aug. 5.  Jon Moore, spokesperson for the State Fire Marshal’s office also confirmed that Kindinger is an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force stationed at Hurlburt Field.  On behalf of the 1st Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, Lt. Pienkowski in the Public Affairs Office said, “The 1st Special Operations Wing is aware of the charges brought against SSgt Kindinger, but does not comment on open investigations.”

Out and About

We saw a lot of discussion of last week’s editorial on Facebook but we do not have any letters to the editor regarding their discussions. People do not realize that Facebook isn’t real. People say things they wouldn’t say otherwise and assessing your worth or your opinion’s worth by how many likes someone gives you is superficial at best and at worse – a psychosis. What is said on Facebook – does not count. I’ve gone up to people and asked them to repeat to me what they have said on Facebook and they can’t – or won’t. Some are very brave behind their keyboards, but not in person. We stand behind what we write. We did get one item regrettably wrong in the editorial. Tony Alexander was fired in 2015 not 2014. We will be sure to make the official correction. We already corrected our online versions which will last – a lot longer than Facebook.

Out and About

Never a dull moment in Navarre. I leave town on a Wednesday and on Thursday there is a coup attempt at the Navarre Chamber – by starting another chamber – in Navarre? Funny, I heard about this three months ago and thought it was a stupid juvenile move by a former Chamber employee.

A tale of two chambers

In an email sent to several Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce members and military Public Affairs offices, Tony Hughes, former Military Affairs Council chairman for the NBACOC announced the organization of a new chamber of commerce in Navarre.  It will be known as The Greater Navarre Area Chamber, not so different from the existing Navarre Beach Area Chamber.
