JBAB collects food, raises awareness at Turkey Trot Story and photos by Michelle L. Gordon

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

Service members assigned to the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard joined forces to host the 2nd Annual Turkey Trot, Nov. 20 on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

The event was organized by Air Force Tech. Sgt. Maurice Chaney, who said the purpose of the Turkey Trot goes beyond just hosting a 5K fun run. He wanted to raise awareness about the issue of hunger.

“There are a lot of families out there who are in need,” he said. “We in the military are very fortunate so we just want to give back to the local communities to say, ‘hey, we’re here to help you in any way, shape or form.’”

The event was the capstone for a month-long campaign

to collect food for the Capital Area Food Bank. Senior Airman Angela Mitchell, who assisted Chaney with organizing the event, said although they started later than intended, she was pleased with the amount of donations they received as well as the generosity of those who donated.

“We had a lot of great donations from commissary shoppers,” said Mitchell. “A lot of them told us things like, ‘you know, if I were in need I’d want someone to help me out.’ So that’s the reason they’ve been donating.”

Chief Petty Officer Jesse Garcia-Montes, who works in the Seabees Public Works Department at the Washington Navy Yard, said when her Sailors approached her about participating in the Turkey Trot she thought it was a typical base 5K. When she found out it also

included a food drive, she was definitely on-board.

The event resulted in the collection of nearly 5,000 pounds of food. The donations were turned over to the Capital Area Food Bank shortly after the race concluded. This particular food bank is the largest organization in the Washington metro area working to solve hunger and its companion problems: chronic undernutrition, heart disease, and obesity.

“We receive food from a variety of different sources including food drives like the one at [JBAB], which are very important for raising awareness in the community about the issue of hunger,” said Dylan Menguy, spokesperson for the food bank. “We collect and store that food here in our food distribution center and we distribute it to about 445 food assistance partners — those are your food

Service members assigned to the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard joined forces to host the 2nd Annual Turkey Trot Nov. 20 on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). More than a 5K fun run, the goal of the event was to raise awareness about the issue of hunger. Collectively, the two groups collected nearly 5,000 pounds of food which was subsequently donated to the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C. pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, churches, boys and girls clubs, YMCAs — basically all of the non-profit agencies in the DC metro area that have food assistance programs for people that need extra help to meet their nutrition needs.”

Mitchell said she was glad she was able to help raise awareness about the hunger problem.

“It was humbling,” she said.

“We had one gentleman give us over $100 worth of food because he said at one point he was in that situation, where he needed to be given charity; so he wanted to give back.”

Seabees from the Washington Navy Yard were among the hundreds of participants in the 2nd Annual Turkey Trot held Nov. 20 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). The 5K fun run was the capstone event for the month-long campaign to raise food for the Capital Area Food Bank.

Fall Family Fun Day at the Youth Center Story and photos by Scott Pauley Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs

The Youth Center on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) hosted its annual Fall Family Fun Day on Nov. 21. Families were able to take part in several exciting activities and received gift bags from Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR). The events included basketball, bag toss, scooter boards, hula-hoop and jump rope as well as an opportunity to get a temporary tattoo. Several volunteers and employees were on hand to ensure the festivities were safe as well as fun. Plenty of fruit and drinks were available for those participants who worked up a sweat. For more information on the next Family Fun Day and more activities at the JBAB Youth Center, go to www.mywfr.com.

Safety Stand-down provides useful tips for holiday survival Story and photos by Tamara Ward Staff Photojournalist Joint Base Journal

The Main Chapel Center on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) was the site of a mandatory safety session Nov. 18 to increase employee awareness during the winter.

More than 400 JBAB service members and civilian employees received health and safety information, as well as tips to prevent mishaps. Several departments, including JBAB’s Safety Office, were on hand at stations in the Activity Room to distribute leaflets, perform demonstrations and share techniques for smarter, safer living.

“We basically put out safety related information and we always like to do it before the holidays,” said Dean McKinsey, JBAB safety specialist.

“Eighty percent of this information is targeted for off base safety.”

According to McKinsey, nearly 421 participants received information on emergency preparedness, child safety, food safety, suicide prevention, crime prevention and more.

A station for the Drug and Alcohol Program for the command featured posters depicting consequences of overindulging in intoxicating substances.

“We cover alcohol use and drug abuse. We make sure people are reinforced on it and that they understand what the ramifications are if they overindulge in alcohol or start abusing drugs,” said Chief Operations Specialist Timothy Freeman, Drug Alcohol Program advisor. “It is a problem, it is out there, and there is help if they need it.”

Freeman and his deputy, Culinary Specialist

1st Class Joanna Davis, are located in buildings 21 and 72. They serve the entire JBAB community, civilians, service members and their families. The pair encouraged participants to drink responsibly during the holidays.

The crime prevention station featured an array of books covering winter driving tips, drug impaired driving consequences, safe internet practices for children, and credit card fraud manned

by Police Sgt. Bianca Burgos, JBAB crime prevention Officer.

The Office of Emergency Management used a computer presentation combined with flyers, brochures and leaflets to present information aimed at making every participant more safety-minded.

“We try to get people prepared for the ‘what if’ scenarios. What if there is a thunderstorm, [or] sudden hurricane? What if you have an accident and you are not able to get home,” explained Darryl Hart, emergency management officer. “We help people prepare, make a plan, make a kit so they can prepare for the ‘what if’ scenarios.”

According to Hart, who is retired Air Force, the information he provides transcends beyond the base environment into the home.

“Naturally, you have to take care of your family before you come to the base and perform duties,” said Hart. He continued by emphasizing one specific piece of information he wanted everyone to walk away with. “Be sure during emergency to have cash. Get cash before the ATMs go down. A lot of times ATMs go down during hurricanes and extreme weather, with power outages,” said Hart.

“They [stores] ask for cash because the machine to swipe your credit card is not working. Get cash

Karen Montgomery, JBAB fire inspector, gives a demo to stand-down participants on how to properly use a fire extinguisher first.”

He repeated the thought to drive the point home.

“Get cash first. We can’t assume the convenience will be there.”

At the food safety station, executive chef Melissa Beddle distributed information for humans and pets alike. “Here’s the do’s and don’ts of what not to feed your dog over the holiday,” said Beddle. “People are poisoning their dogs and they don’t realize they are killing their dogs.”

Beddle shared information on how to, where to, and how long to store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. A flyer with turkey safety do’s and don’ts for the holidays included tips on how to defrost a turkey and keep things separate. Beddle

stressed the importance of not cross contaminating when preparing food.

JBAB’s Child Youth Programs hosted a station focused on the safety of children during the holiday season. “The number one tip [for the holidays] is that you’re making sure you are keeping small objects out of the way,” said Kristi Gray, child development homes director. “Use plastic bulbs. Put the smaller bulbs at top, and larger bulbs at the bottom.”

Gray also stressed the importance of being alcohol aware.

“A lot of people spike punch and small children

Kristi Gray, director of Child Development Homes, gives JBAB employees child safety tips. get in there and they get alcohol poisoning. Make sure you keep all alcoholic beverages away from children,” said Gray.

Also presenting valuable information was the JBAB Chapel, the event host site. Deputy Joint Base Chaplain Navy Lt. Jonathan Rozendaal provided information on the different ministries, programs, services and bible studies that the chapel offers.

The Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operation (CREDO) provided a variety of information on programs designed to help people better cope with life. “We have programs for marriage enrichment and personal resiliency.

“When we talk about resiliency it’s the ability to experience stress, distress, [and] a painful experience in life and bounce back,” said Commander Carl Trost, Chaplain Corps. “It’s an opportunity to take a look at yourself and look at your life and learn about who you are.

And [provide] tools to help you handle stuff that comes at you

day to day.”

Mental health safety was also a priority at the stand-down. At a station dedicated to suicide prevention and its contributing stressors, participants received information about base resources for those in crisis.

“In order to keep suicide prevention where it should be, I do stress management and combat stress and resiliency as prevention,” said Jennifer Smith, education services facilitator.

“I teach life skills at the Military Family and Support Center.

That includes anything from anger management, to conflict resolution, resiliency training for the workplace and teaching your kids resiliency.”

Fire safety was the theme at the JBAB Fire and Emergency Services’ station.

“We are stressing on how to use extinguishers,” said Karen Montgomery, fire inspector.

“We are reviewing the acronym P.A.S.S., which stands for pull aim squeeze sweep.”

Montgomery gave a demonstration on the proper way to

use a fire extinguisher to temporarily diffuse a fire so one could safely get out of a burning building.

She explained that the 10 pound. fire extinguishers commonly found on JBAB last only 11 seconds.

“Most people don’t realize that. They think they have minutes. The home ones [extinguishers] are normally five pounds. Those last nine seconds,” explained Montgomery.

Additionally, she stressed that if an extinguisher is used to put out a kitchen grease fire, the pot or pan should immediately be taken outside because it can re-ignite.

Participant Tanisha Laudman, an employee at Child Development Center III, enjoyed the safety stand down this and last year.

“I like the actual computer module [computer presentation at the emergency management station]. Some people are visual.

I’m very visual. So for me to see the actual list [of information] instead of someone just telling [it] to me is better,” said Laudman.

“The information is good. Every year it’s a reminder. It’s good.”

Nearly 1,700 personnel on JBAB are required to participate in the base’s periodic mandatory safety stand-downs.

McKinsey noted that there is an alternative means of getting the information for those who missed the event.

“Whenever people are not here we try to supplement that same safety information … with an email [containing training] related to the subject matter, “said McKinsey.
