How the Barcroft field differs from Waters is it is much more modern, with much more seating (1,000 spectators), more parking, with the press box and scoreboard much bigger and newer. The field is officially designated Barcroft Park Field No. 6 because the com-

plex also includes girls softball and Little League baseball fields. In October of 2014 the field was named for Avram “Ave” Tucker following his multimillion-dollar donation to the George Washington athletic department and university. Tucker was a former player at George Washington. Barcroft Park has been the home of George Washington baseball since the team relocated off The Ellipse in 1993.

Barcroft was the home for the Wakefield High School program that last two seasons while a new field was being built on school grounds. Barcroft also hosted a high school district tournament a number of seasons ago. Various summertime Babe Ruth tournaments are held at Tucker Field. The Virginia State 13-under Babe Ruth Tournament was played there this past summer, along with a 15-under Babe Ruth district tourney. Some travel teams also use Barcroft on occasion. Bill Murray was the state tournament director. He said play was able to resume at Barcroft shortly after summer thunderstorms and prevented frustrating weather delays, that are common during summer baseball competitions.

Most notable, with the exception of the pitcher’s mound, the surface of the Tucker Field stadium is all artificial, one of only two in Northern Virginia with such playing conditions. Waters Field in Vienna is the other. The Barcroft site is also the home field of the George Washington Colonials’ NCAA Division I baseball team, and hosted the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament this past spring. George Washington has primary use of the field through a partnership with the Arlington County Department of Parks and Resources.

n Summerall Field on the grounds of Fort Myer, surrounded by a hedge shaped to represent a horseshoe, lie the remains of an animal whose bearing helped the nation during one of the darkest periods in its history. Black Jack – a coal-black American quarter horse named after Gen. John Pershing – served as the riderless horse during the funeral of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. With the traditional boots reversed in his stirrups to represent a fallen leader (a tradition dating back to Roman times), Black Jack walked 10 paces behind the caisson during Kennedy’s funeral, just as he would the following year for the burial of President Hoover and a decade later at the interment of President Johnson. He also served in full-honors funerals for Gen. Douglas MacArthur and more than 1,000 other members of the U.S. military. Foaled in 1947, Black Jack was brought to the cavalry section at Fort Myer in 1952. His Army serial number was 2V56. In an Army News Service report in 2006 marking the 30th anniversary of his death, those who knew Black Jack described him as calm but spirited, with a dynamic personality. Late in his life, when a birthday party (with cake) was thrown in his honor each year, there were those who swore the

aging horse knew exactly where the cameras were, and turned directly to them. In the 2006 article, the Old Guard soldier who walked alongside Black Jack at Kennedy’s funeral said the horse was clearly agitated that day. For the first time in 70 funerals together, Black Jack stepped on the foot of Arthur Carlson. “I was actively afraid that the horse would get away from me,” Carlston told reporter Matt McFarland. “He was showing his objection to what happened. Animals sense things.” Black Jack soldiered on through the tumultuous 1960s Black Jack, a fixture at the funerals of three presidents, was buried near Arlington National Cemetery following his death in 1976.

Arlington Private-School named after Richmond-area Bishop

ishop O’Connell High School is one of the most well-known and largest private schools in Northern Virginia. The school is known for its academics, strong athletics and the annual 12-hour Superdance. The dance-a-thon is run by the students and has raised millions for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The official name of the Catholic school, with an enrollment of more than 1,000, is Bishop Denis J. O’Connell High School. What many probably don’t know is, who was Denis Joseph O’Connell?

O’Connell was born in 1849 in Donoughmore, County Cork, Ireland. He died in 1927, having served as a Bishop for the Diocese of Richmond. O’Connell’s family emigrated to the United States and settled in South Carolina, where he became interested in becoming a priest. O’Connell eventually studied at the North American College in Rome. O’Connell became a priest in 1877 in Richmond at age 27, then a Bishop, a position he held for 18 years until his death.

Jacki Brown, president of the Kiwanis Club of Arlington, was the winner of this year’s bidding for “Nunc Kiwani.” She is shown with Andres Tobar of the Kiwanis Club of South Arlington Submitted

ike most legends, that of “Nunc Kiwani” is steeped in a mix of fact and fiction – with perhaps a flight of fancy thrown in. The wooden Native American statue that serves as the mascot of the Kiwanis Club of South Arlington pays tribute to the service club’s national founding exactly a century ago, with the name “Kiwanis” taken from a tribe that once lived along the Detroit River. The genesis of the statue’s name – “Nunc Kiwani” – is one of those facts lost to the mists of history, but each year it is auctioned off at the South Arlington Kiwanians’ social, held this year on May 1 at the Women’s Club of Arlington. “He didn’t want to leave,” chuckled Andres Tobar, a Kiwanis Club of South Arlington member who has been safekeeper of the statue for the past year. “He came kicking and screaming.” But leave Tobar’s embrace he did, and Jacki Brown, president of the Kiwanis Club of Arlington, won the bidding to take him for the next year. A day after the handover, Nunc took center stage at Brown’s club’s annual pancake breakfast, held at Clarendon United Methodist Church. (One wag even affixed a paper wristband on Nunc’s arm at the event, entitling him to all the original-style or blueberry pancakes he could handle.) The statue largely has shuttled between the two Arlington Kiwanis clubs in recent years, and bidding sometimes gets impassioned. “It’s a real prize,” Tobar said, joking that he’d used Nunc to fill out golf foursomes and be able to drive in HOV lanes. The May 1 fund-raiser, which included both live and silent auctions, brought in several thousand dollars for the Kiwanis Club of South Arlington. “We need the cash, folks – it’s for the kids. All the money we collect here, we’re going to give away,” said Tobar, who served as auctioneer and was assisted by Jack Turner and Tom Smolinski.

said Gidner. As the search goes forward, the effort continues to build skills – in both theater and life – for those who take part. “Encore is very, very fun,” said Thomas Boudreau, who participated in the crew for several years and is set to go off to college. “It’s a very close-knit family. We get things done, but we have a lot of fun.”

“I’m involved because I’ve seen the kids that come, I’ve watched them change in spectacular ways,” said Ashby Rushing, a local teacher who serves on the Encore board. “They grow, they mature, they find their place.” “Encore creates a comfortable, educational and judgment-free environment,” said Carla Astudillo, who has performed in three musicals over the past four years and plans on earning a degree in theater at the college level. Astudillo credited Encore’s staff members and instructors as those who “light a fire and love” of performing for youth. “They find what makes each student sparkle,” Astudillo said. At the breakfast, Laury Sendek was presented with the Celeste Award for outstanding volunteerism. “It’s a great organization, amazing people to work with; I’m pleased to be part of it,” said Sendek, who has shaped the design of the troupe’s publications in recent years. The award is named in honor of Celeste Groves, who served as volunteer executive producer for more than 30 years. “She set a really high standard for us to live up to,” said Sara Duke, Encore’s executive director.

he countdown is on for the 50th-anniversary celebration of Encore Stage and Studio, the Arlington-based youththeater troupe whose productions and classes draw thousands of families each year. Leaders of the nonprofit troupe used an April 22 fund-raising breakfast to outline initial planning for a half-century celebration that will start in September 2016 and last a year, “or maybe more,” board chairman Jerry Gidner said at the “Sunny Side Up” breakfast, held at Washington Golf & Country Club. While none of the details has been finalized, the breadth of ideas is expansive: Events under consideration range from a gala and youth-themed Renaissance fair, to an alumni production, to a theater trip to Broadway or London. There might even be a reprise of the youth troupe’s very first show – “A Pocketful of Preposterous Poems” – which took place in 1967 at Lubber Run Amphitheatre. (Only one problem to solve: Finding the script for that show so far has been an elusive effort.) While there was a look ahead to the future, the April event focused on the impact of Encore’s work on its youth participants, both on stage and behind the scenes.

irthdays don’t come much bigger than bicentennials, and when Columbia Pike celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2010, even the General Assembly got in on the well-wishing. The legislature has approved a resolution commemorating the 200th anniversary of the South Arlington thoroughfare, in time for birthday celebrations planned in April. “In recent years, the Columbia Pike community has become one of the most culturally diverse anywhere . . . as immigrants from all continents are welcomed to the Columbia Pike community,” noted the joint resolution, patroned by Del. Patrick Hope (D-47th). “Throughout its history, Columbia Pike has been on the front edge of the changes to the nation, while the communities surrounding Columbia Pike provide a home and a haven for local citizens.” The measure cleared both houses of the General Assembly without opposition. Congress authorized creation of a toll road, the Columbia Turnpike, in 1810. Its route ran from the Long Bridge (near the modern-day 14th Street Bridge) at the Potomac out into Fairfax County. State officials later took over operation of the road, and tolls were eliminated. It was paved in concrete in 1928, according to the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organiza-

Among key moments in the Pike’s history: george washington Parke custis, whose vast Arlington house estate was the largest private tract in the county prior to the civil war, built a grist mill near columbia Pike in the 1830s. It is believed that President lincoln traveled on the road to review federal troops in november 1861 at Baileys crossroads. (Arlington, then known as Alexandria county, had been occupied by union troops at the start of the civil war.) one of the spectators at the troop review was abolitionist Julia ward howe, who wrote the poem that would become the “Battle hymn of the republic” in her washington hotel shortly after the event. A civil war skirmish occurred where the washington & old Dominion railroad crossed columbia Pike. During the civil war, freedman’s Village was established on the Arlington house grounds near what is now washington Boulevard as a home for emancipated slaves. their descendants continue to live in communities throughout

et young people excited about music early, and the attachment will carry through for a lifetime. That’s the mantra underlying OperaNova, which has announced an ambitious effort for the 2015-16 season to connect youth with not simply a classic Italian opera, but one from the African-American experience, as well. The Arlington-based organization next spring will present a production of Scott Joplin’s “Treemonisha,” first performed in 1910 but then largely forgotten by succeeding generations before being resurrected six decades later. The production – described as the first uniquely American opera and representing something of a departure from Joplin’s roots in ragtime music – follows a group of freed slaves in 1880s Arkansas, as a young woman (the title character) urges the others to embrace education and cast away the superstitions of previous times. “It’s quite moving,” said Mike Doan, a member of the OperaNova board, who said that given the subject matter, “it is especially meaningful to young people.” The production is slated for March 2016, with a number of shows for local students and one community offering. But if the production finds success, it may take on a life of its own. “We want to get the fire going and spread it around the country,” said Doan, who spoke recently at the Kiwanis Club of Arlington. OperaNova was founded in 1992 as a volunteer-based, non-profit or-

ganization, drawing on the roots of the Opera Guild of Northern Virginia. The organization is under the indefatigable leadership of Miriam Miller, who has seen to it that more than 25,000 children across the Northern Virginia area have been exposed to opera. “I consider myself a steward . . . to advance the cause of educating underprivileged youth about the classical arts,” Miller says on the organization’s Web site. “I hope to keep that work alive.” As to “Treemonisha,” Miller said she hopes it can bring a dialogue on issues as current as today’s news. “We want to make this a positive statement on race relations in our community,” she said. “We want it to be a celebration. You’ve got to start with the children.” While much of the arts organization’s work is focused on providing professional-caliber opera to young people, they are not the only target audience. Senior citizens are, as well. “It’s the most expanding group around,” Miller said of the growth in the region’s older population. Kicking off OperaNova’s season will be Rossini’s fasted-paced, comedic “Barber of Seville,” which, like “Treemonisha,” will be presented in a pared-down format more in tune with the attention spans of younger audiences. Productions – both for students and the community – are slated for Nov. 17-20 at Thomas Jefferson Community Center. For information, see the Web site at www.operanova.org.

Haddock rarely misses any football games, home or away, which has been the same for the baseball team in recent years. For basketball, if he’s not at Wakefield announcing, he’s on the road at one of the boys or girls games. Wakefield athletics have become a big part of Haddock’s life. He has lived in South Arlington since 1973 and down the street from the school since 1976. That was the year he first began watching Wakefield football games as a third-grader when his father, also Frank, took him to see the contests. “I’ve always been good with numbers; I guess that’s why I can remember so many things,” said Haddock, who under former boys basketball coach Bob Veldran in 1986 received the school booster club’s Sportsmanship Award for his work as a basketball manager. “I still like being around Wakefield sports.” By chance, Haddock became the football announcer in 1999 when the regular announcer didn’t show up. He’s been on the microphone ever since. The only two high schools in the area Haddock hasn’t attended to watch any kind of Wakefield game are Oakton and South County in Fairfax County.

f there is a human encyclopedia about Wakefield High School sports, that person is Frank Haddock, the go-to-guy when needing a fact about past accomplishments by many of the school’s teams, athletes or coaches. Since 1984, the now 47-yearold Haddock, a 1986 Wakefield graduate, has been involved in the school’s sports, mainly as the football announcer and statistician. He’s done the same for the baseball team off and on during that time, and is the home announcer for boys and girls basketball games. He has such an institutional knowledge about Wakefield sports, Haddock – often off the top of his head – can quote past records, scores, win-and-loss streaks, even the dates games were played, and maybe even the weather condition. Haddock was the only one who could figure out (and correct) a printed mistake about the exact length of a long losing streak snapped a few years ago by the Wakefield girls field hockey team. He even knows facts about teams and coaches from other Arlington schools. For example, longtime Washington-Lee baseball coach Doug Grove and his team have lost just four games at Wakefield. That’s a Haddock fact that likely no one else knew. Current head football coach Wayne Hogwood is the 10th since Haddock has been involved with the team, with Jim Hufschmitt the first. He has worked under four different directors of student activities, is on his 10th girls basketball coach and second building at Wakefield. Former Wakefield football coach Keith Powell said Haddock’s importance to the program is invaluable. “He’s the history,” Powell said. “You can ask Frank anything and he knows. I’m always amazed.” Longtime Wakefield director of student activities Noel Deskins and current boys basketball coach Tony Bentley appreciate and understand Haddock’s value. They are quick to refer all history inquiries to Haddock, or check with him first. For 29 years, Haddock’s day job is as a program analyst for the Social Security Administration. Then at night or in the afternoons, whenever games might be played, he attends Wakefield contests.

hile most of the rest of the Washington metropolitan area is waking up groggily following festivities the night before, the Arlington County Board already is hard at work on Jan. 1 each year. A tradition that dates back generations – perhaps as far back as the founding of Arlington’s governance structure in 1932 – New Year’s Day organization meetings provide the five members of the County Board to lay out their priorities for the coming year in front of civic activists as well as a television audience. The meetings traditionally take place at 11 a.m., giving the community at least the chance of recovery from New Year’s Eve revelry before heading over to the county government’s compound. (There is one exception to the Jan. 1 rule; if New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday, the meeting is held on Monday, Jan. 2.) As part of the organizational meeting, board members elect a chairman for the coming year, a position that rotates among members. “I’m excited,” Mary Hynes said after the 5-0 vote tapping her as chairman at the board’s 2015 New Year’s Day organizational meeting. “These are labors of love,” Hynes said of County Board service. “It isn’t always

Rixey Mansion Remains Heart of Marymount Community

hen the first freshmen at Marymount Junior Women’s College – 13 of them – arrived to begin classes in 1950, they and their teachers from the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary could all be accommodated in what has come down to history as the Rixey Mansion. The religious order of nuns had purchased the home and grounds on North Glebe Road in 1948 in preparation for opening their new school. It became known as the “Main House,” and while Marymount grew up around it, the white Georgian structure remains something of the heart of campus, housing the office of the president and hosting receptions honoring outstanding students as well as alumni and distinguished guests. According to the university’s history, the mansion house was constructed in 191920 for Dr. Presley Rixey, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral who had served as personal physician to Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Rixey had purchased the land decades before. Originally known as “Netherfauld,” it featured a farmhouse and enough acreage that Rixey later sold some of it for the relocated Washington Golf & Country Club and deeded more for the building of

nearby St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. There was even a “Rixey Station” stop on the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad nearby. According to the university history, the Rixeys’ original farmhouse burned in 1907, and the physician and his wife moved into a cottage on the grounds while considering what to build in its place. Architects for the new mansion were Frank Upman and Percy Adams. Rixey House serves as the office of Marymount University’s president and provides space for university receptions. The home proved a Photo courteSy mArymount univerSity social magnet for the working to gain “the respect of intelligent mansion’s neighbor.
