Child Care Crisis
Turnovers have been
numerous this summer and
many MWR facilities are in
a manning crisis. Top of
that list is child care.
This includes
the Child
Development
Center (CDC) and
the Youth Center.
At present time
the CDC can-
not take drop-
in care and neither
center is taking any new
children. With school about
to start this could be a big
problem!
Are you a dependent
wanting to get out of
the house? Or, maybe
you're active duty
wanting to earn a little
extra cash during your
off time. MWR can
work around your mili-
tary schedule to fill
these positions.
For more informa-
tion or to pick up an
application contact MWR

Iceland's most famous coast guard ship, Thor, is now a mod-
em and delicious restaurant. A perfect restaurant for families,
singles, and unaccompanied, the ship has an incredible history.
The restaurant and bar was even once the private quarters of
the Icelandic President.
Momentos and pictures are displayed throughout the entire
ship depicting Thor's service as a Coast Guard vessel that
played an important role in tire Cod War.
During the Cod War, a struggle for protecting the Icelandic
fishing grounds, the British Coast Guard would cut Icelandic
fishing boat's nets and ram into the Icelandic Coast guard ships
as Iceland attempted to increase their fishing territories. At times
the Coast Guard ship Thor would get up to FIVE collisions a
day. Finally in 1977, after quite a struggle with the British, fish-
ing was extended to 200 miles.
For many years Thor was used as a training school for peo-
ple going into the Coast Guard until finally in 1985 it was
decommissioned and sold for 1000 kronur.
The ship itself has gone through an incredible renovation.
The ship's interior was completely refurbished with oak and
mahogany paneling, but you can still see the way it used to be
through all of the memorabilia around the ship.
Now a place for incredible food, Thor also gives you an
extraordinary view. The menu offers a wide variety. Private par-
ties can also be arranged. Tours of the ship are available for
groups and there is live music on weekends.
This is a place in Iceland that no one will ever be able to for-
get. It is a memorable experience for anyone, no matter what
age. Thor restaurant welcomes you to their unique "seafood
restaurant on the sea" where a memorable and enjoyable
evening awaits you. For more information you can contact the
Thor Restaurant at 555-6171.
The MWR Tour Office also runs a trip to the Thor for a "Cod
War Dinner" the last Friday of every month. Phone 4200 for
more details or visit the office located in the main MWR build-
ing across the street from the Viking Mall.
