Marty Wind, general manager of KLUX 89.5, says he owes his wife of 25 years, Rose Garza-Wind, a trip to Europe for all the long hours and late-night calls he’d get when inclement weather knocked out power at the transmitter site. “She has taken very good care of me, and I can’t wait to be with her a little bit more.”

“Christ rose from the dead forever, vanquishing death and its power forever, saying light overcomes darkness. And that's what's represented by the Paschal candle, the Easter candle, the candle that represents Christ himself, the nails, the wounds of Christ, who is the Alpha and the Omega – the Beginning and the End. Nothing has power over Jesus. Not even death,” said Father Paul Hesse during his homily at the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, April 3.
