THE NEW
Fabulous ROCKER CLUB
Written by • By Aaron Feinberg, Rocker NCO Club Manager Layout by • Leya Bonorris, Rocker NCO Club Marketing Executive Photos by • Nagi Marie Quirk
T
he Rocker NCO Club has been a Kadena Air Base fixture for over half a century. Originally constructed back in 1958, the Rocker NCO Club has been dedicated to serving the military community since inception. After the New Year’s Eve Party on Thursday, 31 December, the Rocker will be closing its’ doors. Construction will then begin for a new $47 million Club Complex that will take about 18 to 24 months to complete in the same footprint of the existing club.
“We put all of our proceeds we make back into the community, so everything we make goes back into Kadena,” said Christine Phillipp, 18th FSS Marketing Director,“ [The new Rocker] is a $47 million project funded completely by excess non-appropriated fund dollars that we have earned.” 6
WWW.KADENAFSS.COM
During the next two years a majority of the services currently offered at the Rocker NCO Club will be relocated to other facilities. One of the major pieces of the bridge plan is a renovation currently underway at the Skoshi-Bowl facility next to Chili’s and Emery Lanes. This which will soon be known as the Skoshi Rocker Entertainment Complex and will be an adults only facility that will feature slot machines, bingo, beverage and snack bar operations.
Relocated Programs: •T-Bones Dining Room: This family friendly, seven days a week food operation will be moving into the Banyan Tree Club Ballroom.
•Bingo: Both bingo from the Rocker NCO and Banyan Tree Clubs will consolidate into the new Skoshi Rocker.
•Daily Grind Coffee Shop: Our popular, name-brand themed coffee shop will merge into the Banyan Tree Club Snack Bar.
•Slot Machines: The game room currently located in the Rocker NCO Club along with a full bar will move to the new Skoshi Rocker.
•Route 66 Snack Bar: The theme of Route 66 will be retired; however some of the popular food items will remain and will be featured in the Skoshi Rocker facility.
•Enlisted Club Barbershop: The barbershop which currently features four barber chairs will be relocated into the Officers’ Club and will have a new entry door outside of the Kadena Officers’ Club.
•Weekend Enlisted Club Lounge: The DJ entertainment currently offered at the Rocker NCO Club, will be moving into the Banyan Tree Club lounge for the weekend entertainment. Catering operations will continue at the Kadena Officers’ Club along with a new catering tent.
In 2017, the new Club Complex will include a casual dining room, night lounge, sports bar, coffee shop, gaming room, ballroom, meeting rooms and covered courtyard areas and walkway. Below are digital renders of the new facility.

‘Twas the night before Venture delivery, when all through the studio Not a creature was chirping, not even the gecko Schedules were cleared, delivery routes made In hopes that stacks of Venture would soon be laid The workers were home, enjoying holiday time With thoughts of brown magazine packs filling their minds Morning came with a blink and a flash As they all prepared for the Venture delivery thrash Just then, from outside a truck horn fired And out they ran, to see what transpired Venture Magazine was here, a monthly feat indeed, Each issue they hope you’ll pick up and read
24 WWW.KADENAFSS.COM
Their receiving line formed, magazine bundles flew Into stacks and piles from FSS to you
Capa to the Schilling and March to the Rocker They flew swift as they could, those Venture stand stockers
The humidity was high and so was the sun But deliver they must, for you to have fun
Children were cheering for of course they knew A brand new Venture meant so much more to do
Venture packs each one took, counted out carefully To be taken to each FSS facility
Parents were thrilled at the joyous sight Yelling thanks and praise as happy people might
His van filled with Venture, almost to the brim The Venture Delivery Man had quite the day ahead of him
The Venture Delivery Man makes his appearance on this day It’s but once a month you can see him, they say
But there he was, as fast as he could In the Venture van driver’s seat, deliver he would
A magical mystery who brings FSS cheer To families and airmen twelve times a year
He needed some help so by name he called roll “Now Capa, now March, now Fit and Bongo!”
Though he’s jolly and friendly to his timeline he must stick For Venture must go without a hiccup or hitch
“Present!” they yelled, excited to help Months of hard work to reap, adventures to sell
Stop to say good day if you see him around base He’ll do his best to put a smile on your face
Deliver magazines if you please for all to see “They must go out today by the stroke of three”
Then off he’ll go, into the December sunset Until next month’s issue with more adventures yet
So off they went to fill magazine racks They do this quickly, they’ve developed a knack
And as he goes, you can faintly hear “Happy Holidays to you, and Happy New Year!” Written by: Rachel Kuhn

T
he true origins of yoga stretch deeply into history. There is no concrete evidence on its chronology or specific origin, however we do know the original form of yoga most certainly did not look like our modern day yoga studios with 20 people in headstand (sirasana) on yoga mats. Yoga developed in Ancient India at least 5,000 years ago with a focus on breathing techniques and meditation rather than the physical postures, called asanas. While this doesn’t paint a specific image of traditional yoga, suffice it to say it probably looked less like crow pose (bakasana) and more like lotus pose (padmasana). Modern yoga was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s and slowly gained traction until the 1960s when, along with the help of the Beatles, the yoga movement exploded. Fast-forward to today and yoga is not only an extremely popular tool to reduce stress and increase relaxation, but is also a popular form of exercise for both men and women. For me, yoga is all of it. It is my favorite way to exercise and I’m not ashamed to say that I utilize vigorous flow yoga classes as a means to stay healthy. As a regular practitioner and certified yoga instructor, it is also more than exercise; yoga is a way of life for me. That is not to say that yoga has to be more for you, though. I am a firm believer that yoga can be for everybody and for every body type. Yoga can be a weekly addition to your exercise routine, or yoga can be much more. There are limbs of yoga that branch out into all aspects of life. Everything from ethical behavior, self discipline, breathing techniques, meditation practices and more are spelled out in Pantajali’s eight limbs of yoga. It’s a daily, disciplined practice, but it is something in which I find great joy and I truly believe you can, too. I think it’s pretty safe to say that the holidays can be both a wonderful and stressful time for most people. Whether you have never done a downward facing dog (adho mukha svanasana), or you regularly flip your dog, yoga can be a wonderful tool to help get you through the insanity the next couple of months may bring.

YOGA
FOR A STRESS-FREE HOLIDAY SEASON ya mas
Yamas have to do with how you practice yoga off your mat. I don’t mean yoga selfies on mountaintops, but the practice of living an ethical life. This is the yoga of living – nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, responsible behavior and letting go of materialism. This holiday season, focus on quality time with family and let go of the idea that more things means more joy.
niy a mas
Niyamas have to do with self-discipline. These are actions or restraints you put on yourself. The Niyama that I find to be most helpful during the holidays is cleanliness. Pulling out holiday decorations, friends and family coming into town, traveling and celebrating can leave your space a mess. If you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed, put a little bit of extra effort into straightening your surroundings. We’ve all heard it before, but when your space is chaotic, your mental state tends to be as well.
asana
This is the physical practice of yoga. Through the various postures, many people find that the tension of daily life is much more easily managed. Also by building strength and cardiovascular health, yoga can help keep off some of the side effects of all those holiday sweets! While I would love to see everyone practicing yoga, I would expand this to encompass all physical activity. Whether you already practice yoga, would like to start, or already have an exercise routine you are committed to, don’t let your physical fitness fall by the wayside over the holidays. In addition to stress relief, a regular yoga practice can help reinforce better sleep, give you more energy and help with weight control, all of which contribute to a less stressful holiday season.
pranaya ma
Pranayama is breath control, or breathing techniques. Next time you are upset or stressed out, notice your breath. It probably has become shallow, short and choppy. The best way to communicate with your sympathetic nervous system is through your breath. Your body perceives daily stressors as emergencies, which can trigger your flight-or-fight response, a natural, primitive response that triggers our bodies to either defend itself or flee when there is a perceived threat. Part of this process is the release of the stress hormone, cortisol. Studies have shown that a build up of cortisol can actually cause headaches, fatigue, depression and allergies, among many other issues. When you feel yourself becoming anxious or stressed out, take several long, deep breaths. This communicates to your sympathetic nervous system that everything is all right, allowing your body and mind to return to a calm state.
meditation
At the end of a normal day, it isn’t uncommon to find ourselves feeling overwhelmed. Over the past couple of years, more and more research has been released in support of meditation as a highly beneficial way to manage stress, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and more. Often, New Years is when we begin to make plans to self improve. Instead of waiting for the whirlwind of holiday chaos to end, try spending five minutes at the end of each day to sit in silence. For me, meditation is a practice I have to work on. I find myself mentally wandering back toward my constant to-do list. If sitting on the ground in silence without anything to focus on seems intimidating, try turning your attention to one idea, person or theme. During the holiday season, I find it particularly helpful to focus on gratitude. You can make a list of things you are grateful for – family, friends, a comfortable lifestyle, work, or life itself – and spend five quiet minutes each night meditating on these gifts.
As the holidays come and go, I encourage you to use the many aspects of yoga to de-stress and more fully enjoy all the joy this time of year truly brings.
