Windbreaker closes for renovation, improvements
After 39 years of serving base residents
meals in a warm, quiet atmosphere, the
Windbreaker will cease operations on Mon-
day to undergo a complete renovation.
In work slated for completion by mid-
August, the facility will house a “Cactus
Cantina,” specializing inMexicanfastfood,
and a “Parcheezi’s,” serving pizza and Ital-
ian food. For sports enthusiasts, a sports
bar will offer a cheery, lively atmosphere
featuring sports memorabilia and a big
screen television.
“The decision to completly revamp the
Windbreaker comes following various
need-based studies taken over the course
of the last year,” said Misty L. Orlove,
Clubs Coordinator, Morale, Welfare and
Recreation department.
“The new facility is a positive step to-
wards providing an entertainment alterna-
tive for base residents. It will be a cheery
place to have a good time,” she added.
For the time being, the food services will
be split between the Top of the Rock and
the Three Rags Club. Saturday morning
breakfast will be served at The Three Flags
Club, with no change in price. The lunch
and dinner service, as well as pizza, includ-
ing delivery, will be handled by the Top of
the Rock.
Light Bytes... The Easter celebration
By Fr. Leslie A. Colago
iii
#
Easter is the day of the year when Chris-
tians, all over the world, celebrate the rising
of Jesus Christ from the dead. This fact of the
Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian-
ity. For as St. Paul writes in his first letter to
the Corinthians: “If Christ has not been
raised, then empty is our preaching; empty,
too, your faith.” (15:14)
Easter can no more be separated from
ood Friday than graduation day from disci-
e and examinations, or the tightening of
violin strings from the melody produced.
There is some mysterious and intrinsic
relationship between the cross and the empty
tomb.
On Good Friday, evil did its worst: it
unshielded its sharpest sword and gained
victory over love and righteousness. But, in
this world, although evil has its hour, good-
ness has its day. Having gone down to defeat,
evil can never be wholly victorious again.
Easter Sunday, therefore, is not just a
miracle of the past, but a promise of the
future. In its light, not decay but advance, not
a pulling down but a reaching forward, be-
comes the main characteristic of both man
and history.
The crown of thorns is the condition for the
crown of glory. The tragedy of world is that
there are so many escapists who run away
from the condition of happiness; the joy of
the world is that there are so many who
achieve glory through discipline. For
Without pain, there is no balm
Without gall, there is no glory
Without a thorn, there is no throne
Without the cross, there is no crown.
A community Easter sunrise service
will be held at 7 a.m. Sunday, in the
main Chapel.
