From Tuesday through Fridayevery week at the Bolling Clubon Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB), hungry patrons can ex-pect a wide variety of dining op-tions at the club’s all-you-can-eat buffet, including new cre-ations and old favorites.

JBAB Executive Chef MelissaBeedle said she and her staff arelooking for new ways to “breakout of the box” and deliver freshchoices to customers.

“Tuesday is basically chef’schoice,”Beedlesaid.“WecomeinandTuesday is kindof our day.”

The kitchen staff will see whatingredients are available and cre-ate custom dishes, such as bluecheese scalloped potatoes or of-fer up lesser known choices suchas Mediterranean couscous to goalong with the salad bar and otherregular daily items.

The rest of the week has themeddays, Beedle explained. “Wednes-days right now are traditionallymore pastas, which eventuallywe’re working toward putting somenew ideas in there because a lot ofpeople aren’t pasta eaters. Thurs-day is a standard—it’s pork chopday—we do a baked and a fried and

a smothered pork chop. Then Fridayis seafood.”

Beedle said the chefs got to-gether to brainstorm on what tocreate for upcoming menu choic-es while tracking what their cus-tomers want to eat.

“We talk to our customers andget feedback from our customersas far as what they’d like to see,”she explained. “We look at thedemographics of people that wefeed and try to cater to the peoplethat are longstanding that tradi-tionally come in here and eat. Forinstance, we have a lot of folksthat love to come in here and theycome in Friday just for seafood be-cause it is all you can eat. It’s theonly place around that you can getfour or five varieties of fish itemsat a reasonable price.”

Customers can expect to seesome small changes for right nowuntil Beedle and the chefs finalizenew options. Fans of the always-popular pork chop need not fear,Beedle said, as the Thursday mar-quee item will likely remain un-changed.

The buffet is served daily fromTuesday through Friday, 11:00a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

“They come to the programand we inspire them to do stuff,”

said Boatswain’s Mate 2nd ClassLakeisha Henderson, local pro-gram coordinator for DEFY. “Be-cause of this program, they comeback every year and they justlearn. They just want to do more.”

The first day began with aspirited game of dodgeball witha small group before moving intoa nearby classroom for lessonson teamwork and respect. Par-ticipants were divided into pairsor groups, where they freshenedup on social skills while co-de-signing flags representing theirgroup interests.

Later in the camp, the youthlearned about dog obedience withthe Naval District WashingtonK9 working dog team, watched ademonstration from the U.S. NavyCeremonial Guard, learned how toproperly fold flags, and took a field

trip to the National Zoo.Henderson said the key to the

camp is basing everything aroundeducating the children and alwayskeeping them busy.

“Our job is to mentor them andjust to help get involved with themas far as learning things aboutthemselves and keeping them ac-tive,” she said. The experiencesthroughout the camp and laterphases provide the necessary toolsfor the youth to grow and learn,she added.

Learning and growing does notjust happen for the youth partici-pants, however.

“They help me,” Hendersonsaid. “I don’t have children, andreally don’t work with children alot, but it’s fun working with them.It’s awesome for me.”

Machinist’s Mate 2nd ClassAndrew Chaplik, from NSA Wash-ington Port Ops, returned this yearfor another opportunity to be amentor after having a positive ex-perience last year.

“I just like working with thekids,” said Chaplik, who has seenchildren of that age already usingdrugs. “As we work with the kidsthroughout the year, you see howthey’re doing and see that they’renot doing drugs.”

Some of the participants evenexpressed interest in eventuallyentering the military because of

the experience in DEFY and expe-riences with the mentors, Hender-son noted.

We’re not necessarily trying toget them to go to the military be-cause we just volunteer, but theyactually go back and help in theircommunity as well,” she said.“That’s how everybody else hearsabout DEFY.”

Following the conclusion of thesecond phase of the program, DEFYmentors encourage parents to be-come actively involved inmaintain-ing the gains made during the pre-vious year, and work on outplace-

ment to get their students enrolledin follow-up programs.

DEFY was developed by theDepartment of the Navy’s DrugDemand Reduction Task Force,who hosted the first camp for 13children in 1993. Since then, DEFYhas spread to more than 50 sitesworldwide, helping hundreds ofchildren stay away from drugs.

For more information aboutthe program or to receive an ap-plication to volunteer, contactHenderson at (646) 505-7041 or(202) 685-1200, or Machinist’sMate 1st Class Mary Moro at (202)685-1200.
