Halloween at Joint Base anacostia-Bolling (JBaB) is two days of family-friendly festivities scheduled for oct. 30 and 31.

The JBaB Library kicks off the frightening fun with a cos-tume party oct. 30 at 4 p.m. children are invited to dress up as their favorite charac-ter and enjoy creepy crafts, ghoulish games and refresh-

ments. immediately following the party, the annual MWr Halloween Parade begins at Geisboro Park at 5:15 p.m. The parade culminates at the Youth center where kids are invited to stay for the carnival.

following the MWr events, JBaB chapel will host their annual Harvest fun festival at the chapel center, oct. 30 6:30-8:30 p.m. according to JBaB chaplain, air force Lt. col. Jeffrey Granger, the Har-vest festival is an alternative

event offered for those who don’t necessarily wish to cel-ebrate the scarier side of the holiday.

“not everyone wishes to celebrate the ghoulish side of Halloween,” said Granger. “This gives those families who don’t want to do scary themes the opportunity to still be a part of the celebrations.”

The festival will have Bi-ble-inspired games and ac-tivities, snacks and prizes. anyone attending the event is encouraged to wear their fa-vorite cute or funny costume.

on oct. 31, the trick-or-treating begins at 6 p.m., when children will go door-to-door to receive treats until 8 p.m. The JBaB police department encourages parents to make sure children wear bright-ly-colored costumes and/or reflective gear. They also cau-tion all trick-or-treaters to stay in groups or be accompanied by a responsible guardian, choose a well-lit route and don’t forget a flashlight.

JBaB crime Prevention of-

ficer, police sgt. Bianca Bur-gos said JBaB Police will have a candy inspection table on chappie James Blvd. across from Billy Mitchell estates and the “pumpkin patrol” will be out in force on JBaB oct. 31 to ensure safety.

“JBaB Police will increase patrols on Halloween night,” she said. “in areas known for such infractions. We expect drivers to abide by the post-ed speed limits at all times, but especially on Halloween night. We will also have offi-cers posted at each main in-tersection to ensure trick-or-treaters are able to cross the roads safely.”

The festivities conclude with the Potomac Lanes cos-mic Halloween Party on oct. 31, where for only $15 per person, attendees can bowl the night away with unlimited games and shoe rental. Prizes will be awarded for best adult and child costumes, along with games and giveaways all night long.

More than 500 goblins, ghouls, princesses, and pirates participated in the 2014 Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling MWR Halloween parade held Oct. 31.

The united states air force Band ceremonial Brass ensem-

ble entertained visitors at the 2015 White House fall Garden

tour oct. 18.

The band played to crowds of over 100 people who were

waiting in line to enter the gardens, and stopped to take in the

classical music the ceremonial Brass has perfected. Visitors

were excited to take pictures, and asked the band questions

during the informal performance which included a chance

for conductor air force capt. Haley armstrong, who recently

joined the band here, to lead the ceremonial Brass for the first

time at a rather historic venue.

“i’ve been in the military for 15 years, but this is my first

time being stationed in the national capitol region,” she said.

“This chance to work with the community on these hollowed

grounds and work with this great band was an incredible op-

portunity. it’s music that allows us to represent the military

with the public, and gives us that chance to connect with our

audience.”

Joint Base

anacostia-Bolling (JBaB) held an energy

action Month “fair” at the Base exchange,

oct. 14.

energy action Month, announced by

presidential proclamation on sept. 29,

calls upon the citizens of the united states

to “recognize this month by working to-

gether to achieve greater energy security,

a more robust economy, and a healthier

environment for our children.”

the two main attractions at the event

consisted of electrical vehicles, hosted

outside near the entrance, and energy

partners who set up displays just inside.

representatives from Washington Gas

and energy efficiency company nores-

co were on hand to chat with anyone

who was interested about ways the gov-

ernment is

working to

increase en-

ergy efficiency

in daily operations.

Mac collins, a repre-

sentative of noresco, used

an “ice” plant as an example of how

Joint Base anacostia-Bolling saves money

during the summer months.

“there are 42 banks that create ice over-

night, using energy when it’s much less

expensive,” said collins.

the overnight period is also when

fewer people are using energy to keep

homes and businesses cool, he noted.

“During the day, when the price in-

creases and there’s a bigger demand on

the grid, these banks are used to cool

buildings across the base,” he said. “it

covers at least half the base.”

outside, the main attraction was the

demonstration of electric vehicles from

both chevy and tesla.

tesla’s representatives encouraged

people to take brief rides in its demo

vehicles to give them a sense of how eVs

(electric vehicles) can really perform.

JBaB vice commander, air force col.

Kendall Peters, said the fair was small,

but impactful.

“this is a good opportunity to bring the

products to the customers — our popula-

tion here on the base — and make them

aware of things that can be done to save

energy,” he explained. “out here, you can

see there are lots of options when you’re

looking at the nice cars, where you can go

green and save a lot of money on fuel.”

Peters acknowledged the price of the

eVs, with the tesla in particular starting

at around $70,000, but said it didn’t take

away from the message.

“even though most folks won’t be able

to purchase these vehicles, maybe in 10 or

20 years — when the costs come down —

they will because they’ve seen what they

can do,” he added.

tim Min, the energy manager at JBaB,

organized the event, and agreed that the

message was more important than any

one particular display.

“this is a national event and the pur-

pose is really to help people understand

what can be done at work and at home to

reduce energy consumption.”

sailors, veterans, family members and naval support activity Washington staff gathered in the cold War Gallery at the Washington navy Yard to bid farewell to Display ship Barry (DD933), oct. 17.

naval support activity Washington hosted the departure ceremony, honoring the ship and its past crew members. The event served as the final send-off before the ship is towed down the anacostia river for dismantling.

retired rear adm. sam cox, director of na-val History and Heritage command spoke.

“it’s a sad day to see the Barry go but i’m glad to be able to thank those in attendance today that served on the Barry,” said cox. “she was not just a ship made of metal but she rep-resents a legacy of valor and sacrifice of those who served.”

More than 20 former Barry crew members attended the ceremony.

retired sonar technician (surface) 1st class John Horgan served on the Barry in the early

1980s and flew in from colorado to make the ceremony.

“When i heard the ship was being scrapped i was very emotional,” said Horgan. “i grew up on that ship. i came aboard 19 years oldand left a man so i had to make it here today.”

councilman charles allen, D.c. council Ward 6 spoke about effect of the ship and its symbolism.

“Barry was a part of the neighborhood,” said Ward. “Veterans traveled from near and far to visit the ship. she was a reminder of the sacrific-es and triumphs of the navy.”

uss Barry was the third forrest sherman-class destroyer built and the fourth vessel to bear the name of the illustrious revolutionary War naval hero commodore John Barry. she was commis-sioned sept. 7, 1956 and served in both the at-lantic and Pacific fleets. uss Barry was decom-missioned nov. 5, 1982 after 26 years of service. Barry began its new career as the Washington navy Yard display ship in 1983 where it was open for public tours, training, shipboard famil-iarization and as a ceremonial platform.
