hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and will have a happy new year. There are many enjoyable aspects of being MAC president, and the end of the year holidays have been Robert Radler full of fun. My wife, PRESIDENT one of my sons and I had a delicious meal at the MAC Holiday Brunch. Several board members and I had the pleasure of attending the employee holiday party and we were impressed with how everyone enjoyed themselves. The excited children at the tree-lighting ceremony have to be my favorite, though. The extensive decorations, and singing from the Balladeers and MelloMacs, combined to make the tree lighting a festive occasion. Add to that the candy, gingerbread-house decorating and the knowledge that Santa is coming, and the children were so charged up they could not contain themselves.

Clearly, staff and volunteers put in a great deal of time and effort to make members’ holidays a great experience. And some of their behind-the-scenes efforts may not be obvious. The members of the Board of Trustees are proud to be a part of what the MAC does for the holidays and want to keep these traditions going far into the future.

Being on the Board of Trustees for almost three years has taught me that MAC offers so much throughout the year, not just on the holidays. The club puts on wonderful events and provides tremendous offerings for its members. What is behind these events and offerings is a very complex organization. Any member more than passingly involved with the committee system probably has some grasp of what committee members do. On the athletic/wellness side are numerous sport committees, the Wellness Committee, and an overarching Athletic Committee that oversees policies and programs. The Budget and Finance, and Property committees help ensure our assets are being best governed, utilized and preserved. The Member Events Committee oversees the numerous social, educational and other member services.

The House Committee oversees and enforces the club rules for member conduct. The Membership Committee oversees the policies and procedures for membership in the club and reviews applications for those people becoming members. The Diversity Admissions Committee oversees policies and assesses people for membership through the Diversity program. In my experience, being on a committee is not only great for MAC but also a tremendous personal benefit for the volunteers. Those volunteers meet some amazing members who, at least in my case, have become fast friends.

Take notice of and thank the staff and volunteer members who make MAC a very special place.

The committee system, however, is the part of our club members see. What we do not always appreciate is how the staff is involved in club events and offerings.

They are the ones who make everything run. They are the ones who implement the policies and procedures the committees oversee. The maintenance and upgrades of our buildings and technology, the provision of food and beverages, the offerings in athletics, wellness and education, the operations of day-to-day finances and creation of our budgets are all dependent on our talented staff. And then there are the less obvious but ubiquitous staff at the club, like the laundry, housekeeping, communications, human resources, At Your Service and front desk folks who members may not (and definitely should!) notice but are essential to the functioning of our club. I am confident that I am missing some aspect of the club here, but that only helps make my point. It takes a complex organization that includes a partially unseen web of people to keep MAC the wonderful place it is.

This leads to my suggestion to you of a new year’s resolution. Please resolve to take notice of and thank the staff and volunteer members who make MAC a very special place. I did not realize it before I had the privilege of serving on the board, but I now see they surely deserve it. WM

I recently went to one of the best club events I have ever attended. Although our chefs served a great breakfast, it was not about the food! It was about celebrating veterans who served our country well. It was about those who Norm Rich lost their lives and GENERAL MANAGER those who helped this country earn the freedoms we enjoy today. It was about those who serve today and keep us safe to practice and enjoy our liberties of peace, prosperity and potential.

The Veterans Breakfast brought together 150 servicemen and women and their families. The keynote speaker was Bonnie Amos, sponsor of the soon-to-be-commissioned U.S.S. Portland, a $2.3-billion ship that will circle the world, serving as transport for 800 U.S. Marines and 300 Navy sailors. Amos is the wife of General James Amos, retired Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corp.

She was joined by J.R. Hill, Captain of the U.S.S. Portland. Hill will command the ship on her first official voyage to be formally commissioned in Portland on April 21, 2018.

The gymnasium on the ship will be named named after MAC. I hope you will join in the festivities, hosted by the U.S. Navy and the Navy League. Complimentary tickets may be requested for the commissioning celebration at www.ussportlandlpd27.org. I want to thank our veterans for their service and for keeping us safe and secure; your service is meaningful and makes us all enjoy life more!

I also had the pleasure to welcome Wendall Pelham back to the club to host a racquetball tournament honoring his son, John Pelham. The club’s annual Tournament of Champions merged with the John Pelham Memorial Racquetball Tournament, benefiting the Live Like John Foundation. The event celebrates John’s life and love for the game, and the Live Like John Foundation shares proceeds with the Green Beret Foundation, the National Guard Youth Challenge and the Military Racquetball Federation. John died serving his country in Afghanistan on Feb. 12, 2014, a month after beginning his second tour of duty. Wendall shared with me that this tournament is a living memorial to John’s passion for racquetball, and gives Wendall the opportunity to talk about his son John. Wendall also gave me a plaque and several challenge coins honoring John’s life,

and thanking the club for its participation.

Accepting this gift was one of the highlights of my career here at the MAC!

Quotes to compete by I want to share some of my favorite sports quotations as we begin our winter session of sports activities at the club: “I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta’ win, somebody’s gotta’ lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.”

-Yogi Berra “I’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.”

-Patriots quarterback Tom Brady “Imagination has a great deal to do with winning,” -Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski “The person that said winning isn’t everything, never won anything.”

-soccer player Mia Hamm “The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.”

-Babe Ruth “When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.”

-tennis star Steffi Graf In my opinion, in a club like ours, it is not always about winning; rather, it is more about competing, always pushing yourself and having fun.

Be Well This Year This month begins our new year, a time to start conditioning ourselves to get into shape and practice wellness. Sign up to work with with one of our personal trainers to begin the journey. We have a tremendous amount of wellness activities you can explore on our website or in The Winged M. We also offer a diverse array of athletic programming for seasoned athletes, or members who simply want to better themselves or learn how to be well.

We begin a new financial year with higher dues. While no one wants to pay more dues, we raise them to remain competitive in our labor market and keep our talented employees, who our members have come to appreciate as part of their professional family.

I hope 2018 starts off great for our members and staff and continuously gets better as we strive to help you to be well. WM

hope this column finds each of you well with the arrival of the new year! With the completion of the club’s strategic plan firmly in sight, there is no question this is going to be a big year at MAC. Many Phil Galvin important decisions ATHLETIC AND WELLNESS DIRECTOR will start to unfold as we head into spring and summer – all with the goal of continuing to improve the club. If you can imagine our club in 20 years, what will it look like?

That is basically the goal of the plan – to continue to push the club to ensure its relevancy in the future.

As we head into 2018, I’m sure many of you are focused on a new set of goals pertaining to your health. There is no question that the best medicine is working out and eating well. One of my personal challenges is to do a much better job with the latter.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I have a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in my pocket as I write this column. I actually do a fairly good job, but, doesn’t the food taste good here? MAC Dietitian Tysen Christensen often says to me, “Phil, you can’t outrun a bad diet.” That has proven to be spot-on advice. For those of you out there looking to really improve your eating habits, I would highly suggest you reach out to Tysen at tchristensen@themac.com.

Some of you may have noticed former Trail Blazers great Bill Walton using the club in December. An avid swimmer, Walton was in town working for ESPN to announce the PK80 NCAA basketball tournament. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have breakfast with him in the Sports Pub – what a treat. Not only did he elaborate on a lifetime of basketball experience, but he was also incredibly complimentary to MAC. “Oh how I wish I would have known about this place sooner in my life,” he explained, “the indoor pools, the weight room, the showers, the Sports Pub...what an incredible place.” Many

members and staff had the opportunity to visit with Big Bill during his time here each day; he was truly a class act.

Is the Snow Coming?

As we turn the corner into January, I’m sure this is a question you are asking. While I am new to MAC, I am certainly not new to the chaos that snow can cause to not only the roads, but to club operations. As the general manager of VillaSport in Beaverton the last three winters, I was there as our members also endured challenges accessing the club during “snow days.” MAC has done

If you can imagine our club in 20 years, what will it look like? a great job to prepare a plan to operate (or not operate) the club during these challenging times. If the snow comes, rest assured we will do our very best to keep the club operations open and functional.

Midweek Ski Bus in January While the snow in Portland may cause some challenges, it is welcome up at Mt. Hood. A great opportunity to head up to the slopes comes in the form of the Midweek Ski Bus program. Members can take a jaunt from MAC to Mount Hood Meadows on a chartered ski bus every Thursday in January and February. Those interested should contact Susie Neighbors at susie.neighbors@ gmail.com.

Additionally, there is a Sunday Ski Bus program that runs for four consecutive weeks in February. Members can choose to have their kids take part in lessons as a part of this program. Contact Outdoor Manager Chad Failla at cfailla@themac. com for more information on this option for heading up to the slopes.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can help you here in any way. My staff and I will do anything we can to help improve your experience as a member of MAC. Here’s to a great start to 2018! WM

FACES IN THE CLUB The MAC Climbing Team continues its ascent with a big win in the Regional Championships at the Bend Rock Gym on Nov. 9. Four members claimed first-place in their respective categories, capturing the team championship. “This is the first time we’ve placed first in all four of the upper categories in bouldering,” says Head Coach and Outdoor Supervisor Drew White. “For me as head coach, this is five years of planning, building and investing in the right coaches and athletes. I’m most proud that we’ve been able to develop the talent within MAC.” This year saw 260 athletes qualify for the event, meaning that MAC performed better than ever even as the sheer volume of competition reached its zenith. The first-place finishers were Lauren Smith in the Female Junior group; Tori Siegel, Female Youth A; and Gabriel Laurent, Male Youth A. In addition, MAC climber Brett Walker recently won the regional championship for male juniors in Colorado.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Managing Editor Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.

Former MAC runner Bryn McKillop continues to set the pace in Cross Country at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. She finished her senior year strong by coming in runner-up in the National Championships in Eslah, Illinois. With her help, the CMS Athenas ended the season in the top 15 in the country. Her goal sophomore year had been to place in the top 50 and help her team place in the top 10. Overall, she appears to have succeeded admirably! McKillop’s secondplace finish also puts her in CMS’s record books by tying the best previous finish in the school’s history. McKillop previously attended Cleveland High School, where she competed in soccer, basketball and track.

When Kaija Perkiomaki came in fourth in the Columbia River Triathlon & Fitness Festival’s sprint distance event, it felt like a first-place finish to her.

She’d worked hard to better her stroke and endurance with MAC Water Fitness Supervisor Lisa Best, who says, “I was proud of her placing fourth on her very first triathlon!” As for Perkiomaki, she reports that, “The swim was easier than I expected! The water in the Columbia was warm, and swimming in the lake helped me get used to not being able to see.

And luckily, we were swimming downstream. My lessons and tips from Lisa immensely helped. Don’t think I would have been able to do that so comfortably without our preparation time together!”

Statistically speaking, one marathon in a lifetime is more than most humans run. Now, imagine running seven marathons in seven continents in seven days!

MAC member Jared Blank sets out to accomplish that feat this month when he takes part in the World Marathon Challenge.

The event begins in Antarctica, and then continues to Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, and finally South and North America. This journey will cost him roughly $50,000, in addition to months of training. The Winged M will feature a longer piece on Blank in the coming months, but until then, those who’d like to follow his adventures can do so on Instagram @ inmotional, or by checking out his blog, www.inmotional.run.

Sometimes it takes a champion to shape a champion. That isn’t to say that 6’6”, 200-pound Cole Turner wouldn’t have excelled without the coaching of 1987 MAC scholar athlete Joe Bushman at Clackamas High School, but it probably didn’t hurt, either. The wide receiver capped an incredible senior season – in which he caught 76 passes for 1,325 yards and 24 touchdowns – by helping Clackamas win the OSAA 6A State Championship.

Turner committed to play for the University of Nevada in September, but after his senior campaign, he generated interest from several Power Five programs, including Oregon State, the University of Oregon, the University of California, the University of Utah and others.

CULINARY AND SAKE DINNER Bamboo Sushi Executive Chef Jin Soo Yang and Culinary Director Chris Paquette join the MAC culinary team for a special evening at the club from 5:30-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19 in 1891. Select decadent sushi dishes from a special menu in 1891, including a king crab and foie gras mousse roll, Soo’s Tuna Three Ways dish and other selections.

Jin Soo Yang Yang moved to Portland seven years ago from Charleston, South Carolina. He learned so much from growing up with a great mother that cooks traditional Korean food and a multitude of different chefs. From classic French to Japanese teppanyaki he has an arsenal of cuisines to pull from. For the past four years he has worked for Bamboo Sushi where he started at the flagship restaurant on Southeast 28th and Pine and has since opened two additional locations in Portland.

Chris Paquette Paquette has been a Portland resident for seven years. Originally from the Bay Area food scene, Paquette worked at the Restaurant at Wente Vineyards under chef Jerry Register, gaining a passion for sustainability, focusing on seasonal local farms and meats from within a 150-mile radius of the Restaurant. At Bamboo Sushi, his efforts to keep sustainability a priority continue to this day. In addition to training chefs and developing the ever-evolving menu, Chris has been part of opening multiple Bamboo Sushi locations in the Portland area.

Cooler Gyms Are Coming This Summer New cooling system for gyms highlights slate of firstquarter projects around the club

M

AC members have spoken, and the club has listened. It’s just plain too hot in the Main Gym during the summer. While it might be difficult to imagine what “too hot” even feels like in the wintry depths of January, MAC’s facilities staff works year-round to meet members’ needs.

In addition to helping the Main Gym to cool out, MAC has a number of first-quarter projects in the works that will improve the locker room experience, update signage, and make the Lobby Level Women’s Lounge a place where folks want to hang out.

Main and West Gym Cooling With a full slate of camps and classes, summer is one of the busiest times of year in the Main and West gyms. Most camps run during the workday, when temperatures inside the gym can soar well above 80 degrees, making discomfort and member safety real issues. In an effort to improve conditions for the kids who take camps and the staff who lead them, MAC will provide cooling.

With most of the work taking place in the mechanical room, the impact to members using the gyms will be minimal. The benefits, on the other hand, will speak for themselves in cool, whispering tones.

Estimated cost: $76,600

DigiLocks for Day Use Lockers Frank Lloyd Wright followed the advice of his mentor Louis Sullivan that “form follows function.” It’s unlikely they were talking about lockers, but the axiom holds true. Lockers need to keep members’ possessions safe, and new, sturdier locks serve the dual purposes of better performing the function for which they’re intended, and providing a quick visual cue that these are not storage containers with which to be trifled.

New DigiLocks will be added to the day-use lockers in Exercise & Conditioning, the Junior Girls and Boys Locker Rooms, the sub-basement Changing Rooms, and the Men’s Locker Room.

Members should see minimal impact to their daily routine.

Estimated cost: $8,300

Club-wide Signage Replacement MAC is more than a club, it’s a community. It’s also a vast physical space that can overwhelm with its plethora of corridors, rooms and stairwells. As MAC continues to evolve to better serve member needs, it’s important to point members in the right direction, making all its many offerings as accessible as possible With that in mind, signage around the club is being transformed to offer a fresher look. Color-coded wayfinding bars along the bottom of the signs will help those new to the club become oriented more quickly. See a blue bar? That marks the west side of the building. Green indicates center, gold east and purple the garage. Seeing hot pink signs? That indicates the reader is no longer in MAC. Cost: $103,700

Lobby Level Women’s Lounge Update It’s only a true lounge if people want to lounge in it. In an effort to make the Lobby Level Women’s Lounge as lounge-worthy as possible, it’s getting a facelift. Contractors will replace the carpet with tile flooring and a rug to keep it cozy, replace light fixtures with energy-efficient LED bulbs, paint, and provide a new couch and accessories to make sure you never want to leave. Or, at the very least, it will ensure that your wait is as comfortable as possible.

The lounge will be closed during the renovation, but the good news is that it shouldn’t need an update for at least another decade.

Cost: $30,000 –Jake Ten Pas WM JANUARY 2018

In Memoriam Dodd Fischer Nov. 2, 1943 - Nov. 17, 2017 Dodd Fischer, 74, died Friday, Nov. 17, 2017 at home with his family in Portland, after a nine-month struggle with pancreatic cancer. He will be remembered for his interest in people with unique life stories, and a love of history, travel and hard work. He never retired and was not planning to.

Dodd was born Nov. 2, 1943, in Eugene, to Ruth Dodd Fischer, the daughter of a civic leader and Columbia River developer in Hermiston, and Dale Fischer, the son of a gyppo logger and mill owner in Marcola.

He was a fifth-generation Oregonian. Dodd identified with his family’s history as Western pioneers and early settlers of Oregon, who eventually helped shape the state’s timber and agricultural sectors.

Dodd grew up with his sister Alex near the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field and Mac Court, where he became a fan of track, basketball, and eventually football.

He attended Edison Grade School and Roosevelt Junior High. He spent his boyhood summers on the McKenzie River at Prince Helfrich’s summer camp. The Webb School in Claremont, Calif., where he attended high school, shaped his trajectory in life. He was a loyal Webb supporter in his later years, attending many school and alumni events and serving on the Board of Trustees. He graduated from Yale University in 1965, where he was a member of Beta Theta Phi, competed on the wrestling and golf teams, and developed some of his most enduring friendships. He earned an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Between attending Yale and Stanford, Dodd served in the U.S. Army.

His infantry airborne ranger training was at Fort Benning, Ga., and then he was First Lieutenant at Camp Casey in Tongduchon, Korea.

Dodd met Nancy while he was at Yale.

They were married in 1967 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. After he graduated from business school, Dodd and Nancy lived in San Francisco for several years, making life-long friends. Dodd was in the investment business and belonged to the San Francisco Golf Club, where he was a member for 40 years and, one year, won the club championship. His love of Oregon took the family to Eugene and then Portland. He worked for Farwest Steel, a family business, and started an Oregon franchise for Church’s Fried Chicken restaurants. In 1981, Dodd and Nancy founded Storables, a retail business based in Portland that focuses on household storage and organizing products.

22 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

Travel was an important part of Dodd’s life. He visited Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea with his daughter Paige, and China, Spain, and Germany with his daughter Cameron. He also accompanied his cousin, Steve Terjeson, on numerous family history tours around the West.

Dodd is survived by his wife of almost 50 years, Nancy; three children, Alexandra Paige Fischer (Seamus Walsh), Cameron Ward Fischer and Christopher Dodd Fischer; four much loved grandchildren, Connor and Saoirse Walsh, and Lucia and Milo Krigbaum; his sister, Alex Morse (Charles), with whom he says he never exchanged a harsh word; and his constant companion, Sophie Dog.

Kathleen Mary Callahan Hotz March 14, 1958 - Oct. 20, 2017 Kathleen Mary Callahan Hotz, age 59, of Portland, passed away holding her husband’s hand, surrounded by family, Oct. 20, 2017 at St. Vincent’s Hospital after an ongoing battle with breast cancer.

Kathleen was born in Portland, March 14, 1958 to John and Billie (Williams) Callahan. She grew up in the Laurelhurst area and attended All Saints Catholic School, LaSalle High School, and graduated from Grant High School. She attended Portland State University and had a career in advertising and marketing.

Kathleen married the love of her life, Norman Hotz, of San Francisco, in 1982.

They spent 35 years together filled with travel and adventure. The couple lived in San Francisco for 25 years and in Paris for three years. They returned to Portland in 2012 to help care for Kathleen’s mother, Billie Callahan Terry, whom she has now predeceased.

Kathleen began her marketing career in Portland with Richardson and Associates.

She went on to become a marketing account executive at several marketing agencies, working with numerous Fortune 100 companies. Among her achievements was managing the marketing for the 50th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, attended by over one million people.

Kathleen was elegant, exquisite and charming. She was a brilliant and luminous light to all who knew her. Though Kathleen was small in stature, she was giant at heart.

Through her generosity of spirit and creative inspiration she created magical family holidays. She always looked up to her older brother and sister, and adored her nieces and nephews.

San Francisco was close to her heart and Kathleen delighted in the cultural diversity.

She enjoyed the opera, Halloween in the Castro, Chinatown at daybreak and especially “treasure shopping.” After living in Paris, she returned there several times and helped her husband in his business while they traveled throughout Europe, Hong Kong, Manilla, Greece, and New Zealand.

Kathleen is survived by her husband, Norman Hotz; her mother, Billie Callahan Terry of Lake Oswego; brother, Michael Callahan (Marji), of Portland; sister, Maureen Siegner (Dave), of Lake Oswego; niece, Meghan Siegner Sullivan, of Lake Oswego; nephews, Ian Siegner (Jill) of Happy Valley and Rian Callahan (Serra), of Portland; as well as her great-niece; and four great-nephews.

Benjamin Beacham Jones, M.D. April 22, 1928 - Nov. 4, 2017 Dr. Ben Jones was born in Pittsburgh, to teacher Ruth Beacham Jones and dentist Dr. Benjamin Harrison Jones. His sister, Nancy Lou was born two years prior. He attended Swissvale High School, the University of Pittsburgh, Washington and Jefferson College, and Temple University Medical School. He interned at the University of Oregon Medical School and completed his OB/Gyn residency at Temple. He was a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He was a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, serving as medical officer to a destroyer squadron in the Mediterranean. He established his medical practice in N.E. Portland and joined the medical staff at Emanuel and Providence Hospitals. While chair of OB/ Gyn at Providence, he helped open the innovative Family Maternity Center.

Ben was a member of MAC, the Quarterly Club, the Mazamas, and was a volunteer tutor for Portland Public Schools. He was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, serving as elder, trustee, and Stephen Minister Leader. He was a Spinnaker Mariner, and he sang in the Chancel Choir.

He is survived by his wife, Louise; children, Karen Mak (Jason), Rachel Hubbard (Mike), Brian Jones (Beth) and Christopher Jones (Katherine); grandchildren, Tyler, Matthew, John, Holly, Sarah, Ashley, August and Violet; nieces, Janet Borowy and Lisa Fincher; and nephews, John Borowy, Cale Hoopes and Albert Cook.

Memorial gifts may be made to Westminster Presbyterian Church / Hancock Entrance Elevator Fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE Nixon Evans Munly April 28, 1929-Nov. 5, 2017 It is with great sadness that the family of Nixon Evans Munly announces his passing Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017, at the age of 88.

Nixon “Nick” will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Barbara; stepchildren, David (Monica), Monica (Mark); and six grandchildren, Tyler (Fumie), Jackson, Madison, Grant; and two greats, Vincent and Sara.

Nick began his legacy at age 13. He was national and world champion in tournaments around the globe with Olympic weight lifting, boxing, tennis, arm wrestling and numerous other amateur sports. He ran the first marathon on the beach in Lincoln City, and climbed most of the mountains in the Cascades. In 1996, his MAC tennis team won a doubles national championship.

For the last 70 years, Nick never missed a year earning at least one or more dollar, plaque, trophy or reward for his outstanding success in sports. He represented MAC well from those young teen years and into his 80s.

He loved his high school football years. He remained stronger than average, enjoying good health and the will to go on, in spite of advancing age.

He attended the University of Portland and Portland State University in the days it

was Vanport Extension Center. He maintained a love for history and was a walking Google-search of facts and stories of world events. Mention a time, and he could elaborate on the events with an incredible memory of people and places. Nick could always be seen at local and other music venues. He loved to dance and even sing, especially with a big band! He was an iconic “mod, music and muscle guy!”

He will enter heaven blessed with a reunion of his loving parents, Raymond and Vernice, who he cared for as they reached their fading years. Nick remained a generous friend. He will be dearly missed.

Verne Whitfield Newcomb September 26, 1924-May 20, 2017 Verne Whitfield Newcomb, aged 92, died May 20, 2017, in Portland after a brief hospitalization.

Born in 1924 to Verne Elliott Newcomb and Ruth Henry Newcomb in Bakersfield, Calif., Verne Whitfield Newcomb grew up during the Great Depression with his older sister, Maxine, and younger sister, Verna.

Their father was killed by an accidental gunshot when Verne was seven. Verne labored to rise above his difficult circumstances, achieving success in high school through his

keen scholarship and natural athleticism. He was attending the University of California, Berkeley, when war broke out. With hopes of serving his country by learning to fly, Verne joined the Navy.

The Navy sent Verne to Harvard Business School for his Officer’s Training. In perhaps the most auspicious consequence of Verne’s decision to enlist, he met a Boston University coed, Jean Fielding, who would become the love of his life. Their courtship was interrupted when Verne shipped out to the South Pacific, but they reunited upon his return, marrying in Cleveland in 1946.

The couple traveled to California, where Verne finished his degree at UC Berkeley.

Verne and Jean moved to New York City so Verne could attend Columbia University Law School. After graduation, they headed west to Portland, where Verne served a clerkship with Judge James Alger Fee, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.

In 1951, Verne joined Sabin & Malarkey.

Verne and Jean settled in southwest Portland and began their family.

Always eager to learn, Verne embraced new opportunities at every turn. While building a reputation for hard work and legal acumen at his firm, Verne also taught at The Continued on page 24

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 23 Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College; became a lecturer at University of Oregon School of Law; served as trustee on the Western Metal Industries Pension Trust and Oregon District Foundry Trust Boards; was an active member and later chairman of Labor Lawyers Advisory Committee of CUE, Inc., an Organization for Positive Employee Relations; and served on the Portland Youth Philharmonic Board of Directors.

After 20 years of building a practice and raising his family, Verne was drawn to the air again by a few of his clients who owned private aircraft. He studied his Navy aviator’s logbooks and obtained a civilian pilot’s license. The purchase of a small plane allowed him to enjoy visiting far-flung clients and ferrying his family to interesting places.

Verne travelled the globe for business and pleasure, often with his family in tow.

He was also dedicated to physical fitness: a daily runner for many years, he climbed Mt. Hood at age 60, and competed in the MAC Decathlon into his 80s.

Verne retired from the active practice of law in 2009 at the age of 84, as the Senior Partner of the Newcomb Sabin Schwartz & Landsverk law firm. WM

Knockout the Doubt with MAC Boxing Classes S omeone who’s never taken Molly Sparkman’s Knockout Boxing Class has no idea how long three minutes really is.

Maybe they’ve microwaved a frozen dinner while famished or waited through a particularly grating commercial break for the thrilling conclusion to their favorite show. Unless they’ve pounded a heavy bag with everything they’ve got until the buzzer rings, they were just killing time.

When those three minutes are up? You might hit the stairs for a run from the sub basement, where the Team Training Room is located, up to the fifth floor. Or dive into a series of burpees, mountain climbers or crunches. If your name is called, it’s time to go toe-to-toe with Kaulike Souza, Molly’s right-hand man, on the padded mitts.

Western boxing isn’t just about fighting. It’s an incredible workout that does wonders for the body and mind. “We have seen

people come in very timid, and leave with more selfconfidence,” Sparkman says.

It also ticks all the boxes when it comes to a great workout: high-intensity cardio, strength training and coordination – and, yes, fun – all in an hour.

Background in boxing Sparkman and Souza each came to boxing in their own ways. For Souza it was a childhood spent watching his dad box, and a love of mixed martial arts. “For me, it’s about being in control,” he says. “It’s the mental discipline.”

For Sparkman, it was an invitation to attend a boxing fitness class with her sister. “It was a natural fit. It tested my athleticism and allowed me to be physical.”

Winter Boxing Classes Monday, Jan. 15 through Saturday, March 24

All classes are held in the Team Training Room and limited to 12 people, unless noted. Registration is required. Knockout and Round 2 classes are $25/class, specialty classes are $35/class.

A second class during the week is $15 and any other classes taken during the week are free. Classes are held at multiple times Monday through Saturday. For a complete schedule of classes, visit theMAC.com.

Knockout classes include boxing instruction, heavy-bag work, plyometric exercises, and interval training in a dimly lit environment with facedpaced music and intensity.

No experience or equipment necessary.

Classes for those who have done a knockout class. The build upon the knockout classes by introducing defensive moves, such as parrying and slipping, introducing kicks, and more boxing specific cross-training.

Boxing/TRX Core

Cardio Blast: Boxing/Spin For Sparkman and Souza, boxing is more than just a class. They gush about the mental challenges of stringing together a series of punches with speed, and the enormous stress release you feel when glove meets bag. They talk about the balance of boxing; not just balancing your body, but bringing balance to your life.

“Boxing takes discipline,” said Souza. “You have to pace yourself and push yourself at the same time.”

“We’ve had people tell us this is their marriage counseling, this is their therapy,” Sparkman adds. “They all box for different reasons, but whatever it is, we hope they take what they’ve gained in class and carry it over into other aspects of their lives.”

A new program Sparkman started her MAC boxing classes a year ago, in January 2017. Since then, more than 100 members have accepted the challenge of joining one of the 10- or 12-week sessions.

Training Camp – Boxing/Strength Training

Open Gym

This class includes boxing instruction, heavy-bag work and TRX suspension training – 30 minutes of boxing and 30 minutes of TRX. Class is limited to 6 people.

A mix of boxing and spinning.

Be prepared to have an elevated heart rate the whole time. Class will be held in the boxing room and the spin studio and will be 75 minutes long.

Training Camp class mixes the cardiovascular, agility and fundamentals of western boxing with strength training with resistance, dumb bells and Kettle bells for a total-body workout.

During this time, members may drop in and use the bags, get a workout if they missed class, and get help with their technique. Those interested in the program can drop in and learn the basics. It is staffed by trainer Kaulike Souza from noon-2 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.

Whether they take part in the forthcoming event or not, everyone leaves boxing class with something, even if it’s just sore shoulders from holding their gloves next to their faces for an hour.

“It’s the empowerment you get that can transfer over to any part of your life,” Sparkman says of what keeps her crews coming back. “This is hard, but if you can do it, you can do something else hard.”

Classes are open to everyone. Never boxed before? No problem. You’ll be shadowboxing in the mirror before you know it.

Classes are taught in a dark room to make it less intimidating, so fighters don’t feel judged. The atmosphere is designed to be a void of self-consciousness, a place where you can forget who you are in the real world and focus on the fight.

“To see people push through and do things they didn’t think were possible for themselves is inspiring,” said Souza. “We get to see them unleash themselves in ways they never knew they could.”

“We have seen people come in very timid, and leave with more self-confidence,” Sparkman added. “There’s no choice in it. You have to work hard. You don’t have to set the intensity; it’s set for you.”

As for the future, Sparkman and Souza envision these classes evolving into a boxing program, with the sport again taking a more prominent role at MAC. Souza is quick to point out the MAC even had a boxing ring at one point.

“I’d love to see it back,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot of self discipline through boxing and I think younger members could really benefit from that.”

“We want it to be a staple here,” Sparkman said.

The empowerment you gain from taking a boxing class can transfer over to any part of your life.

Whether people take part in the classes or the forthcoming Box-A-Thon, their hope is that everyone leaves boxing class with tired muscles and hopefully a little bit more.

“We had a fighter recently say ‘I just have a better day on the days I come to boxing class,’” said Sparkman. “What more can you ask for?”

The Fitness Challenge – Keeping Classes Fresh When Max Force debuted a decade ago, it wasn’t exactly an instant success. “Right out of the blocks, it was not popular,” says Fitness Manager Darrell Duvauchelle, who also leads the class.

Ask anyone who has attended – or tried to attend – Max Force in the past few months, and they’ll paint a different picture. Studio One is packed practically to capacity, with just enough room for members to maneuver through the high-intensity mix of routines that’s made Max Force one of MAC’s most popular classes.

Part of this is due to Duvauchelle’s exuberant-yet-saucy demeanor and uncanny ability to remember enough names to make everyone feel like the star of the class.

But he’s also quick to point out that it’s all about “figuring out the right way to teach it.”

The notion that a great fitness program should remain a work in progress isn’t necessarily one that’s readily packageable for mass consumption. As any good trainer will point out, however, the human

body adjusts quickly to routine, which is why new forms of exercise are necessary to keep athletes in the best possible shape.

Similarly, MAC is constantly looking for ways to offer new classes in response to member demand and the latest fitness trends. That means studying pop-ups, looking to improve learnings, and figuring out how to tweak successful concepts to best suit its membership.

“Millennials aren’t streaming to traditional gyms,” Duvauchelle says. “Mom-and-Pop gyms and 24-Hour Fitness are getting hit hard. Even Cross Fit is declining.” The next wave of boutique gyms, such as Soul Cycle and Orange Theory, are always breathing down the neck of the establishment as the fitness industry becomes increasingly compartmentalized.

While Duvauchelle says that MAC’s multifaceted appeal – athletic club, social hub, culinary and networking destination – keeps it somewhat insulated from this niche effect, it’s important to be ever vigilant for ways to evolve.

“We believe spontaneity is a good thing, and desirable in the long run,” he says.

Rather than simply internalizing popular outside programs, which can be rigidly formulaic to the point of endless repetition, club trainers looks for ways to incorporate their best attributes into something MAC-specific.

Thus, in recent years, the fitness team has rolled out classes such as: Max’d Out, U-Jam, Evolution, and Gyrokinesis. And they’re just getting started.

“The popularity of interval training based on heart-rate monitoring is a trend that’s on the upswing, and we see value in creating programming around that,” Duvauchelle says. Those interested in staying on the cutting edge of fitness would do well to keep their eyes on the group exercise schedule. One never knows what unpopular new class might be the next Max Force.

CRAIG MITCHELLDYER

att Caputo loves it when a plan comes together. Personal trainers have as many plans as they have clients, and definitions of success can vary wildly from one individual to the next.

Fortunately, there are sure ways to tell if a plan has been successful. “It’s the trifecta: I’m happy, the kid’s happy and the parents are happy.” he says. “It’s kind of like a high. It’s not about you. It’s about what you did for that person.”

Caputo’s been achieving that high at MAC in one way or another for 17 years. He started in college after being a three-sport athlete at Cleveland High. The psychology major would find many ways to ply his learnings in his future career.

Since then, getting his trainees to the next level has been a major source of pride for him. As a key part of the Tiny Tots program since 2007, Caputo’s creed has always been, “You must believe if you want to achieve.”

“I’ve always been a positive person, and I believe that’s infectious,” he says. That positivity was put to the test in college when he seriously injured himself while playing basketball. His inability to play led to feelings of self-pity until a friend said to him, “That boo-hoo attitude will get you nowhere in life.” It was a transformative moment for him, and his road to recovery taught him that, ultimately, “You’re in control of your own destiny.”

Caputo finds joy in teaching such discipline and self-affirmation to his students, regardless of their fitness goals. For some, that means getting back in the game after not making the junior varsity team.

For others it might mean losing weight, building self-confidence, or learning to shut out the noise and focus on enjoying the moment.

Matt Caputo offers personal training for youth ages pre-teen through college.

“Sometimes you just need that proverbial wake-up call, whatever form it takes,” he explains. Whether working with a promising highschool athlete or one of his Free-Form 5-year-olds, Caputo emphasizes that the key to success is to remain positive in all things.

“Everyday, I get a smile on my face,” he says.

To discuss personal training options with Caputo, contact him at 503-517-7577, mcaputo@themac.com or swing by the gyms – there’s a good chance he’ll be there.

Dr. Paul Blaylock with his beloved 1972 Corvette Stingray, painted to match the colors of his alma mater.

An Extraordinary Life Dr. Paul Blaylock was recently named one of the University of Tennessee’s 100 most notable alumni. His unlikely journey started in a tiny community of sharecroppers in rural Tennessee.

O

n paper, Dr. Paul Blaylock’s story reads like a Horatio Alger novel. For younger readers, that’s a rags-to-riches tale so stereotypically American that it seems too good to be true. As the saying goes, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Blaylock was born in the one-store town of Skullbone, Tennessee, and yes, that’s a real place.

In his early years, with no electricity or indoor plumbing, his parents left sharecropping. His dad labored in a factory and his mom held down

34 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

as many as three or four jobs at a time, including working as a maid. Neither could read or write, typical of itinerant farmers at the time.

From these humble beginnings, Blaylock raised himself up to become a doctor of emergency medicine and a trial lawyer with Miller Nash law firm. In October, he was honored as one of the University of Tennessee’s Centennial Alumni, a list of the school’s 100 most outstanding graduates, which also includes NFL great Peyton Manning, astronauts Scott Kelly and Margaret Rhea Seddon (Blaylock’s classmate), and even actor Dennis Haskins, best known as Principal Belding on “Saved by the Bell.”

“My first reaction was, ‘God, I must have been the 100th guy on the list,’” Blaylock says of his surprise at receiving the honor. “It was so

humbling.” In September 2018, he will be further recognized by the UT Medical School as an “Outstanding Alumnus” in Memphis.

Which isn’t to say that Blaylock himself is humble. MAC’s medical consultant and frequent responder to club emergencies is justifiably proud of his journey from the cotton fields of Tennessee. He’s known around the club for driving an orange 1972 Corvette Stingray with “UT” stamped on the license plate. “Every Southern boy loves his car,” he says with a satisfied smile.

Nor is he a braggart, but rather the kind of person who knows what fires his imagination and gives his life meaning. He pursues those ends without regrets.

Education and Inspiration After skipping two grades, Blaylock served as Student Government President of his high school and graduated valedictorian. He started college at age 16, and was named valedictorian there, too. Blaylock finished at the top of his medical school class at UT, Memphis, and at Nortwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark. “I wasn’t the smartest kid, but I worked hard,” he says.

Last year, he returned to his alma mater as commencement speaker. His oratory took him three months to script as he pulled together pearls of wisdom from his favorite philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. He calls the result “the greatest speech I ever wrote” because it was so important to inspire students to pursue their dreams. He also points out how angry he got with himself for leaving out five words.

Those words? Thoreau’s father was a pencil-maker. Blaylock reveres Henry David, both for rising from simple roots, and for the focus and economy with which he lived his life.

This exacting mental precision mirrors that of Blaylock’s other, fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes. A member of the Portland Sherlockian Society, The Noble and Most Singular Order of the Blue Carbuncle, he takes his problem-solving seriously. He’s also a fiercely dedicated reader and lifelong learner, building a fire at 10 p.m. every evening and reading deep into the night.

Such amassing of intellectual capital isn’t for show or abstract acrobatics, however. In the midst of the interview for this article, Blaylock fields a call from a fellow doctor and has to pause the conversation to discuss a potentially life-threatening medical condition.

This statue at the University of Tennessee depicts Dr. Paul Blaylock with his mentor, Dr. Phil Watkins, the Student Government Association advisor and vice chancellor for student affairs from 1964 to 2000.

He also has given back by establishing a new medical clinic honoring his parents in his hometown, providing legacy scholarships to UT med students, and responding to natural disasters nationwide through his work with the Red Cross.

Elvis Presley gave him his first cigar on the night Priscilla gave birth to Lisa Marie at Baptist Hospital.

If ever a colleague broaches the subject of retirement, Blaylock balks. “What takes the place of going home each night knowing that you saved a life?” he asks. He currently practices medicine at his Auto/ Work Injury Clinic in Beaverton, and says that his passion for medicine is the same as when he became a doctor in 1972.

A Life Well Lived Six years later, after moving to Portland, Blaylock was the first doctor on-site when United Airlines Flight 173 crashed in a suburban neighborhood in 1978. The Oregonian reported his triage work, which saved lives, resulting in him becoming Disaster Medical Advisor for Portland International Airport and the Portland Red Cross.

An entire page could be filled with Blaylock’s other accomplishments and quirky factoids. In the interest of brevity,

here are a few tidbits that fit nicely into that whole “stranger than fiction” category: In his lifetime, he’s seen more than 100,000 patients; he has a life-size bronze statue of himself and his mentor on his college campus; as a child, he kept animal specimens for dissection in the fridge next to his mom’s potato salad; he lectures to doctors on cruise ships and has visited 62 countries in the past 27 years; he once accidentally blew up the back porch of his parents’ house with one of his science experiments; and last but not least, while Blaylock was a med student, Elvis Presley gave him his first cigar on the night Priscilla gave birth to Lisa Marie at Baptist Hospital.

If that sounds like a life well lived, that’s no accident. Blaylock continues to look for new ways to challenge himself, even if it’s just getting his 95-year-old dad’s prize Mustang over 100 mph on the country roads outside Skullbone. Life hasn’t changed there since he left. It’s still a onestore town, and far too small to get away with much. A neighbor spotted him from atop a tractor in a nearby field and dutifully reported the occurrence to his surprised father.

His recent commencement speech began, “I remember” – where he came from, where he is now, and how blessed his life has been in between. Clearly, the University of Tennessee remembers him, too. With a bio that reads like Blaylock’s, they’re not alone.

A Look at Oregon’s Military History Learn about Oregon’s long and diverse military history during a presentation with Warren Aney and Alisha Hamel, authors of the book Oregon Military, from 3-4:30 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 22.

Oregon’s military heritage dates back thousands of years, including native people’s warrior traditions. Most of the cultures in this region were relatively peaceful, even welcoming visiting strangers, such as the Lewis and Clark expedition. Then, overwhelming numbers of fur trappers, merchants, settlers and miners began taking over traditional native grounds, leading to eight major conflicts with Army and volunteer forces.

Oregonians adopted militia laws, served in volunteer units, and organized the Oregon State Militia, which became the Oregon National Guard in 1887.

Aney and Hamel draw on long and rewarding service with the Oregon Army National Guard. The cost is $5 for members and $7 for guests.

2018 The Banquet of Champions Celebrating athletic excellence and inspiration.

During the banquet, MAC honors the year’s national and world champions, and announces the winners of the Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award and the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award.

Everyone is invited to support their fellow members at this year’s banquet, held Thursday, Jan. 25. No-host cocktails start at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. Register online at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7528 by Friday, Jan. 19.

JANUARY 2018

Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award Nominees Tom Hussey

Alan Peters

Carol Robertson

Handball, rugby

Table Tennis

Cycling, tennis, squash, gymnastics

Bad knees can’t keep a good man down.

Just ask anyone who’s ever watched Tom Hussey play handball.

Despite old rugby injuries that can limit his court movement, he’s an enthusiastic competitor and proponent of the game who inspires his fellow players with his sportsmanship and good cheer.

Alan Peters is affectionately known as the “Godfather of Portland Table Tennis” for his tireless efforts to grow the sport at MAC and through the Ambridge Table Tennis Club. Five years ago, he created MAC’s first modern table tennis program, which now includes 10 tables and serves members of all ages through open play, tournaments, junior camps and clinics.

“She loves being on her bike and loves encouraging others to do the same,” says Carol’s daughter, Jen Lawrence. “She is an inspiration to all and a true joy to ride with!”

Hussey regularly takes part in club tournaments, and has been a reliable, valuable member of the MAC committees needed to put on national and international events. He served on the Board of Trustees and spent three years working to prepare for the 2009 World Handball event hosted by MAC. “Watching Tom in action means that anyone would be inspired to overcome their own limitations, engage the world of competition eagerly and joyously, and add immeasurably to the enjoyment of life,” says member Michael Steele. “Tom Hussey is a stellar example of all that the MAC stands for.”

Katherine Miles Johnson Squash Even if Katherine Miles Johnson never again picked up a squash racquet, her legacy of inspiring her fellow athletes would be secure. She’s a 10-time U.S. Squash National Champion, a Women’s Intercollegiate Champion, and was named the U.S. Olympic Committee Female Athlete of the Year for squash in 1993.

Off the court, she’s found just as many ways to inspire. As an entrepreneur, Johnson speaks to groups of women on leadership, using her squash journey as a metaphor during presentations. She promotes sportsmanship, positive self-talk, training and competitive drive, and encourages women of all ages to use sports as a platform for self-expression.

Johnson has brought that same passion to the MAC Squash Committee during her five years as a member. Her thoughtful, warm leadership has helped the group to accomplish its goals without ruffling feathers. Her passion for the sport and diplomatic forthrightness have served to create a “team” out of MAC's women players.

Peters is celebrating his 65th year at MAC. As a junior member, he won the Al Tauscher Award multiple times, and is a former MAC Athlete of the Year. He’s been a club champion in sports including: swimming, badminton, tennis, golf, boxing and archery.

If there were a MAC championship for generosity, Peters might also claim that. He has donated competition-grade tables to area schools and clubs, and regularly covers coaching costs for junior players in need.

He even partnered with MAC to help send a local player to compete at last year’s U.S. Open Table Tennis Championships.

John Popplewell Tennis “The bottom line is that John has been playing team tennis since high school and has never stopped,” says fellow MAC member Bob Howard. “He loves to play, he loves to teach, he loves to compete. He is a bit of history that is unparalleled with anyone I know. And he is truly so humble.”

Popplewell has played like a champion ever since his days at Southern Oregon University, where he was part of a team that claimed the OCC Tournament title four years in a row.

Since playing for the Raiders, he has won 296 championship titles in singles, doubles and team events, and he is currently the No. 1 Doubles player in the USTA’s Pacific Northwest section for men ages 70+.

His team’s USTA 65+ Men’s Championship banner hangs over its “home court” at St. Johns Racquet Center, and Popplewell and his teammates have taken time out to visit the Portland Tennis & Education program’s scholar athletes who practice there.

The “she” in question is, of course, Carol Robertson, an avid cyclist who exemplifies determination, drive, optimism and infectious energy. Robertson loves group rides and is happy to be the slowest or fastest in the group. It’s all about the journey, not to mention cheering on her fellow riders. She also brings this enthusiasm to bear on the work of her biology students at Beaverton High School.

Recently, she rode her bike across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast, and kept a positive attitude while doing it. Robertson has taken part in 10 Cycle Oregon rides, as well as Cycle Idaho, Cycle Colorado and other cycling events. In addition, she is active in a variety of other sports and life pursuits, including squash, tennis, hiking, cooking, gardening, traveling and being the best mother and grandmother she can!

Craig Trull Handball, tennis, golf Craig Trull is known as much for his support of others as he is for his own accomplishments. That’s impressive, considering he’s won club championships in three sports: tennis, golf and handball. He has received the MAC President’s Award, been nominated for the Mel Fox Award, and is a former handball national champion in the 60+ Doubles category.

Trull’s boosterism extends far beyond the sports he plays, however. He got involved with MAC gymnastics when his two daughters were part of the team, but remained engaged long after they graduated. In addition to serving as committee chairman, he was known as the “voice” of the team for announcing many its meets.

Gymnastics Department Manager Meg Doxtator even credits him with encouraging her to apply for her current position when she was a member coach 20 years ago.

“I value his deep respect for the club and commitment to excellence in sport at a variety of levels,” she says.

Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Derrick Gordon Cameron Squash Derrick Cameron was a fixture in the finals matches in the region's squash tournaments last year. Cameron advanced to the semifinal round at six different tournaments, placing second in the 50-plus singles and doubles division of the prestigious KIVA Classic, and winning the Portland City League A1 Doubles championship.

When he's not on the court, he's probably doing something to promote the sport. Cameron served as MAC's Squash Committee chair for two years, served on the club's Athletics Committee, and hosts pro players who visit town to complete in MAC's Oregon Open.

Dylan King Tennis It's safe to say that Dylan King is adjusting well to college life. King had a record-setting freshman year with the Yale Tennis Team last season, amassing an imposing 32-4 singles record and shattering school records for most wins in a single season.

Shortly after King joined the team, he was invited to the Division I International Tennis Association All-American Championships in Tulsa, where he won four straight matches for Yale. During the year, he defeated several nationally ranked opponents. A highlight came during a tight dual match at the University of California Berkeley, where King scored an upset win over a highly ranked opponent. King earned Second Team Ivy League recognition in singles and a No. 10 Northeast Region ranking.

Away from college, Dylan enjoyed success playing USTA Open Division tennis tournaments throughout the Pacific Northwest, where he achieved top 10 rankings in the Men's Open Singles and Doubles divisions and a No. 1 ranking in the Open Mixed Doubles.

Andy Krueger Triathlon From an early age, Andy Krueger remembers cheering on his dad at regional triathlons. Today, Andy's dad, Bob Krueger, is the one cheering along the course.

52 | The Wınged M |

Over the past several years Krueger has become one of the best junior triathletes in America. He is ranked No. 2 among 18-19 year olds by USA Triathlon, has been an All American for three consecutive years and was the top finishing American in the 15-19-year-old Division of the Sprint Triathlon World Championships, where he finished 11 overall.

When he wasn't training or racing triathlons, Krueger captained the LaSalle cross country team, helped to organize the East Moreland Turkey Trot, led efforts at LaSalle to travel to Nicaragua to fix broken water wells, and served on the elder board at his church.

Van Mathias Swimming Van Mathias will only swim for MAC's competitive program for a few more months, but he's built a legacy that will last for decades. Mathias leaves MAC this spring as one of the most accomplished swimmers in the club's storied history.

The 2015 Mel Fox Award winner is currently ranked No. 32 in the world in the 200-meter butterfly and holds the Oregon record in the event. He also finished in the top five for swimmers age 18 and under in during the World Championships Trials in 2017.

A senior at Beaverton High School, Mathias became the school's first two-time individual state champion in 24 years when he won the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke.

And in the long run, that may not even be his best event. He showed his versatility by posting times in the 200 individual medley that will already make him competitive in the Big Ten Championships, which will come in handy next year when he swims for the University of Indiana.

Cambell McMillan Synchronized Swimming Cambell McMillan built upon the rich history of MAC Synchronized Swimming success with her recent triumphs on the international stage.

McMillan made the U.S. Synchro Junior National Team last year, helping the team take the silver medal at the Pan American Games in the 12-and-under age group.

McMillan says she made a conscious decision to try to make the National Team in 2016. Her path to success was grueling.

She prepared for National Team trails by augmenting her already busy training and school schedule with private lessons, and

JANUARY 2018

sessions with a personal trainer. Once she was on the team, she took part in daily 12-hour practice sessions in the sweltering southern California summer. The synchro coaching staff say McMillan serves as a shining example for others in the program.

Dylan Reid Tennis Simply put, Dylan Reid was the most dominant amateur racquetball player in the world in 2017. Reid won the Men’s Open Division of the Oregon State Championship, Northwest Regional Championship, U.S. National Championship and U.S. Open.

At the U.S. Open in Minneapolis, Reid was the only American player to reach the quarterfinals, beating the top players from Guatemala, Columbia, Costa Rica, and Bolivia to become only the second American in 12 years to win the touwrnament. Only one other player in the history of the sport has won the Men’s Open singles division at both National Championships and the U.S. Open in the same year.

In January 2017, Dylan moved to Hood River for work. Without top players to practice with, he drilled by himself in Hood River, and came to Portland on the weekends to practice with top Oregon players.

Despite this unique practice regimen, Reid still established himself as the world's best amateur player.

Emma Wetsel Climbing Emma Wetsel became one of the best speed climbers in the region during her breakout season last year, winning the Oregon Speed Climbing State Championship in her age group, finishing second at regionals, and eventually finishing 17th at World Championships in Austria.

Oddly enough, her success was born out of disappointment.

Prior to this year, Wetsel focused on sport climbing, but an unforced error at the State Championship meet eliminated her from further rounds of competition. She refocused her efforts on the speed climbing season and excelled at the discipline, which requires climbers to scale a wall while being timed. As one of only three MAC climbing team athletes to ever qualify for Youth World Championships and the U.S. Team, she is part of a very select group of elite athletes that compete for the MAC. WM

Heart Screenings Help Kids Play Smart When it comes to helping kids play smart, everyone has a stake in the game.

The Providence Play Smart program has screened more than 16,000 hearts over the past five years, identifying more than 1,100 who needed further follow-up and treatment.

MAC Wellness partners with the Providence Play Smart program to offer free heart screenings to youth ages 12 to 18 at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27. There’s a good chance your child’s heart is healthy – yet a small percentage of young people have hidden heart defects that put their lives at risk, especially during physical exertion.

Ducks Win on the Field, at the Blood Bank MAC members and staff joined forces to save lives and compete in the Civil War Blood Drive in November. As usual, the Ducks came away the victor. All in all, members and staff gave 119 units over the two-day drive. That blood could be used to save over 350 lives.

MAC Wellness is eternally grateful for the efforts of staff and members who encouraged, volunteered and ultimately donated to this great cause. WM

Happy Hour with Your Naturopath

R

ecently, 1891 mix-master Roni Pervizi and I teamed up to create Happy Hour with Your Naturopath. Once a month, members are invited to join me for a casual discussion on health topics.

For his part, Pervizi creates some delicious “healthy” cocktails. It may be hard to believe, but you can toast the New Year with healthier versions of your favorite cocktails. One way is to opt for infusedalcohol drinks instead of alcohols flavored with sugary syrups. One of my favorite drinks of Roni’s is a vodka infused with lemongrass and added to a ginger and turmeric drinking vinegar.

Besides being a flavoring for your new favorite cocktail, turmeric and ginger happen to be two of my favorite herbs for medicinal purposes. Both herbs are used for their anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties. Most plants used for medicinal reasons have a low potency, which can’t quite compare with pharmaceuticals – but turmeric is actually a contender, especially for cardiovascular health.

A recent “PubMed” search for turmeric in 2017 lists an array of studies, peer reviews and meta-analysis of the health benefits and potential treatment options

for conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol. I think we will find that for any disease with an inflammatory component, turmeric may be a viable treatment in conjunction with other modalities and medicines.

Ginger, another root known for its antiinflammatory properties, is actually from the same plant family as turmeric. In the case of ginger, it is gingerol that provides its medicinal properties. Ginger, like turmeric, is ideal for cardiovascular disease.

And like above, a simple search shows hundreds of studies done this year alone on ginger and its impact on diabetes, cholesterol, pain, digestion and cancer.

Although ginger and turmeric are generally considered safe, I always recommend speaking to a medical professional before taking any supplements or drugs.

It can be tough to get the entire family to the mountain, but it’s worth the effort. One of MAC’s resident ski parents, April Gilster, offers tips for making ski trips a little easier for everyone.

SKI

Making Mountain Trips ‘Mission Possible’ It’s hard to get the entire family up to the mountain.

Here are a few tips to ease the pain.

I

t’s January – ski season is here! For some, like my husband and four boys, this time of year brings excitement over the prospect of skiing down the steepest, tree-lined slopes one can find. For me, the wife and mother, this time of year brings a sense of anxiety around buying more ski equipment, getting everyone packed up at 6 a.m. to drive over icy roads to Mt. Hood, packing all that gear, injuries, making sack lunches, and the chaos of the Mt. Hood Meadows Lodge.

Interestingly, I would not even consider myself a skier in the truest sense of the word. I dabbled in skiing as a child. My mother would happily send me on the ski bus to Mt. Hood on a random Saturday with little instruction and no warm clothes other than a cable-knit sweater and gloves. She did her best. She wanted to provide me with an experience she never had in her youth.

When I first met my husband, I realized that if we were going to last beyond the first year, I needed to find a way to embrace the ski culture. I needed to find someone, like my husband, who skied his entire life. He helped me find the right clothes and gear. Most importantly, though, he skied with me. We began creating experiences and memories that would last a lifetime. I have come to realize that I want my own children to have these same opportunities. Lucky for us at MAC, we have a great alpine ski program lead by Program Director/ Head Coach Justin Rackley that can give young skiers and boarders what they need to learn the sport and have fun doing it!

56 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

Here is a list of things to consider to make your journey to the mountain “mission possible.”

Do as much as you can the night before. Fill the gas tank, grab the SnoPark pass, prep the coffee, get clothes ready and pack lunches.

Don’t overthink breakfast. Make it quick and easy.

Leave your house earlier than you think you should.

Unexpected delays and bathroom breaks are a fact of life. Plus, the closer you park to the lodge, the better.

Make the car ride fun. Books, movies, iPads, and lots of snacks are great ways to pass the time for the kids in the car. Remember, the family will be outside ALL day!

Boot bags. They’re a must-have for keeping items organized.

Pack extra of everything. Two sets of gloves (before and after lunch); two balaclavas; extra-long underwear; and hand/toe warmers.

Lunch. Think quick and easy again. Bring it if at all possible.

The food lines at the lodges are long, and the food is often mediocre and expensive.

Surprises. What should you do with all the leftover candy from Halloween? Stick a few extra treats in your kids’ pockets. A Jolly Rancher or small pack of M&Ms may prevent a meltdown.

Vivek Deshmukh, M.D. Medical director, neurosurgery, Providence Brain and Spine Institute Education and training • Undergraduate: University of Florida • Medical school: University of Florida • Residency and fellowships: Barrow Neurological Institute

Where did you grow up?

I was raised in Melbourne, Fla., on the east coast of central Florida.

Why did you build your career at Providence?

Providence has a long tradition of providing the best care for our patients. I came here from a leadership position at George Washington University because I recognized Providence is developing one of the top neurosurgical programs in the country.

What is your dream for Providence?

I want to continue developing our institute so that we’re nationally and internationally recognized as one of the top centers for brain and spine surgery. Our patients have access to more than 40 active clinical trials in the areas of multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, ALS, epilepsy and brain tumors.

Our goal always is to discover and use the most advanced treatments for our patients.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy exercising, reading and spending time with my family.

To learn more, visit: Providence.org/brain

What’s a great experience you’ve had while working at Providence?

An important highlight was when our stroke program was evaluated for accreditation, and the reviewers ranked our stroke program as one of the best in the country. I also am proud of how Providence Brain and Spine Institute continues to grow and recruit exceptionally talented surgeons to our program.

Who are your mentors?

The neurosurgeons who trained me helped me develop my surgical skills but also inspired me to be the best neurosurgeon possible for the good of my patients.

I also have two brothers who are in neurosurgery, and I’m a neurosurgeon today because of their excellent advice and support.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

Philanthropy allows us to reach our loftiest goals. Support from our donors is crucial in finding the cure for many neurological diseases including brain cancer, dementia and stroke.

WALKING AND HIKING The famed steps at John Yeon’s Aubrey Watzek House on Skyline Boulevard. Investigate the work of Yeon and other Northwest regional architects during a presentation in January.

Exploring The Northwest Regional Style Architecture journalist Brian Libby discusses the region’s architecture during a January presentation

I

t started up on Skyline Boulevard in 1937, with vast expanses of glass, unpainted wood and native plants. The Aubrey Watzek house, designed by John Yeon, represents the birth of the Northwest Regional Style, architecture that continues to influence the look of Oregon’s neighborhoods today. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31, join Portland architecture journalist Brian Libby in an exploration of the style, starting with its progenitors, Pietro Belluschi (1899-1994) and John Yeon (1910-1994), and on through homes being constructed today.

Before the Watzek home, most residential architecture in Portland derived from historical styles such as Tudor, Arts and Crafts, Classical or Italianate.

“Belluschi and Yeon saw the rise of Modern architecture—of Bauhaus in Europe, and homes in the United States by Mies van der Rohe and Gropius,” Libby says. Bauhaus, with its lack of ornamentation and severe lines, was both an ideology and an aesthetic that rejected historical influences.

60 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

While Belluschi and Yeon were Modernists, they didn’t reject all historical styles. For homes they designed, Libby says, “They were also influenced by Japanese architecture—pagodas notably— and Willamette Valley farm and ranch houses. They kept the DNA of Modernism and adapted it to the Pacific Northwest.” Pitched rooflines, unpainted wood walls, and asymmetric floor plans that blend into the landscapes are elements of the style they created.

In his talk and slide show, Libby illustrates precedents and practitioners of the Northwest Regional Style, along with details from historical and contemporary homes that illustrate its hallmarks.

You’ll come away with enough knowledge to impress your walking partners on your next urban stroll.

Libby’s articles appear in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Architectural Digest, Portland Monthly, The Atlantic, The Portland Tribune and Dwell magazine.

WATER FITNESS

Glide Into Fitness With Paddleboard Class New class merges traditional group exercise with a stand-up paddleboard

Y

ou don’t have to be in the water to get a workout at the Sun Deck Pool.

MAC’s newest water fitness class marries stand-up paddleboarding with traditional exercises to create a routine that helps you increase balance, strengthen underused muscles, have fun and, on occasion, still get wet. The Glide CardioWave water fitness class – a registration-only class – is already a favorite among the water fitness faithful and those curious about SUP.

It Starts with SUP Just standing on a paddleboard can be tricky. Now try keeping your balance while in the downward dog pose, or doing a burpee or jump lunge. Of course, falling from the inflatable-yet-sturdy paddleboards into the water happens, and that’s part of the fun.

Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, originated in Hawaii in the 1940s, but has seen a surge in growth over the past decade as a new generation took the sport from the sea into rivers and lakes. Now, classes are popping up to teach yoga and other fitness exercises atop these floating boards in the controlled environment of a pool.

Building better balance Everything you do in life takes balance, from sitting in a chair to walking in the park to complex movements like mountain biking or skiing. You might take these things for granted; yet, functional

62 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

balance is fundamental to well-being, strength, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. Aquatic Based Stability/Balance Training (ABST) is a new way to improve all aspects of your physical wellness. And long-term health benefits for the cardiovascular and immune systems.

Exercises done in class allow you to slowly transition your body into new stages of movement, control and more challenging body positions. The water provides support for your body when you fall, emphasizes good alignment and posture, and allows those with physical limitations or injuries to enjoy the benefits.

Participants can do this in pools, year round, without worrying about waves from a passing boat or debris in local waterways. Plus, lifeguards are always on duty.

The Glide CardioWave class brings a new level of excitement and novelty that breaks down barriers and places everyone in the same state of vulnerability.

Class runs in six-week sessions from 10-10:45 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost is $120 a session. Space is limited. The boards are hooked on lane lines with a bungee cord and carabiner to make sure no one drifts away. You will get wet. Be prepared to fall in!

If you have any questions, please email Water Fitness Supervisor Lisa Best at lbest@themac.com. If you are unsure of your ability to climb up on the board, reach out to Lisa and she will put a board in the water for you to try.

SQUASH

Wrightson Results and Pac Coast Doubles The Squash community celebrated the memory of Tom Wrightson with spirited doubles play

A

s the MAC Squash Committee eagerly looks forward to the Pacific Coast Doubles Championships from Jan. 22-28, it’s also still celebrating the success of the Tom Wrightson Cup. The event attracted entries with new and repeat players across seven divisions of play in late October.

Sizeable crowds in the Open matches witnessed all the attributes of the game of North American Hardball Doubles: speed, power, racquet skill and fitness. Will Gruner and Alex GreavesTunnell illustrated why this game has seen a surge of interest in the squash world, winning all four of their Championship Division events and losing only a game in the process.

New to the Open Division are Gordon Lam and Alec Spiro.

These two teenagers grew up learning squash at MAC, and anyone who watched them play left feeling good about the future of the game.

Mixed doubles also have taken a positive turn in popularity.

There were nine teams in two draws of mostly Portland pairings.

64 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2018

The MAC team of Kaija and Jukka Perkiomaki dominated the division-one mixed event, and the Portland team of David Smith and Maren Cohn went undefeated in the division-two mixed event without losing a single game.

In the 60s finals match, the Canadian duo of Brian Covernton and Bruce Macfarlane (B.C.) used their experience to sweep the MAC combo of Johnson and Rahman in rare fashion.

Host Tom Taylor and committee members Amy Gaddis, David Cohn, Gary Johnson, Winston Sandino, Chuck Williams, Kristian Foden-Vencil, Mark Hush and Mark Bogdanoff made sure the tournament ran smoothly and provided a high level of entertainment value to players and spectators alike.

Upcoming Tournaments Squash is a many splendored thing, and opportunities are hopping to get on the court and play at MAC. The Doubles League currently has more than 60 participants, and Box League Singles and Women’s Drop-in play also have experienced significant growth in recent months.

Taking the Next Step in a Journey Testing for the next level or color of belt is a key part of a karate student’s journey

MAC karate students recently traveled to the Gresham Dojo for belt tests. toward Shodan, or a Black Belt designation.

In October, 14 MAC members traveled to the Gresham Dojo of the Japan Karate Federation Ryobukai NW to attempt the next steps in their journeys.

Belt tests consist of three components each student must pass before earning their next color or degree. During each section, a Sensei

evaluates the student’s ability to execute the belt’s kicks, punches and stances. The student then must demonstrate a specific sequence of these same actions. Finally, the student engages in Kumite – or sparring - with students of a similar level.

All 14 MAC Karate students passed and were promoted to their next belt:

PILATES

Find Balance with Pilates for Golf Golf demands a precise balance of mental and physical skill, and Pilates can help practitioners gain insight into the connection between the physical and psychological components of the sport. Learn how at 11 a.m.

Mondays, Jan. 8 through Feb. 14. A second session takes place Feb. 19 through March 28.

Athletes and golf pros such as Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth are known to incorporate Pilates into their regular training regimen. Pilates strengthens all aspects of the core, which is instrumental in the golf game. Benefits include increased hip stability, stronger deep abdominal muscles and upper mid-back muscles, and increased range of movement, creating the potential for longer drives.

No Pilates experience necessary, but preregistration is required and classes are limited to six participants. Cost is $33 per lesson.

ATHLETICS Swimming Continued from page 73 to develop meaningful friendships with both members and MAC Aquatics staff.

“As parents we highly value how the program instills water safety and confidence to our kids, while they are having fun. The program is well-organized and flows seamlessly, which is why our family has been enrolled in every session since we started in 2012.”

Ben and Jane are enthusiastic about swimming, and they bring a lot of joy to their Saturday lessons. “It’s tricky because you have to learn to keep your mouth, eyes and nose in the water, all at the same time,” Ben says.

Jane is almost always underwater, and she told us, “If you don’t swim fast enough, the sharks will catch you and grab your feet! It makes you go fast.”

MAC’s winter session of swim lessons starts Tuesday, Jan. 2, and runs through March 25. Sign up online at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7505.

MAC offers swim lessons for agges swimmers in the country. We sat down with two swimmers to see how they got involved and what they love about synchro.

What’s your biggest accomplishment?

I made the national team! My team placed second and we took the silver at UANA PanAmerican Games in Chile!

My duet placed fifth at Junior Olympics and my team eighth.

What school do you go to?

Gilkey Middle school. I study French and Chinese.

How has MAC helped you with your swimming?

So many opportunities! Competing, friends and travel would not have happened like it did here.

What would you recommend to kids who are thinking about Synchro?

Just try it. Camps are a great way to get involved. It’s so much fun.

Miles Galler How did you get started in synchro?

I rec’d a letter asking me to try-out so I did.

What other activities you do outside of Synchro?

I also race for the MAC ski team, do gymnastics and play guitar and ukulele.

You sound busy! How often do you practice synchro?

Two times a week from 4-5:30 p.m.

What do you love most about Synchro?

Jumping in the deep end for sure!

What grade are you in?

Second grade. I go to Renaissance School.

You’re the first boy to join the team.

What’s it like being the first male to swim synchro?

I’m not sure yet, but right now I like being the first boy to do it.

What’s the hardest thing about Synchro?

Clamshell! I’ve had a lot of trouble learning this move.

What would you say to other boys about swimming Synchro?

You should totally do it because it’s really fun!

Join veteran hiker and guide Matt Reeder as he talks about the best hikes for every month of the year, culled from his new book, PDX Hiking 365: A Year-Round Guide to Hiking in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. Hear Reeder’s photos, stories and hike recommendations at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20.

“Hiking is never a waste of time, but it’s nice to know when to go when a particular area is at its best,” Reeder says. “A few years ago I took some friends from Illinois to the Gorge on a smoky, hot August day. The

visibility was poor, but when we passed Dog Mountain, there were at least 20 cars there.”

The 125 hikes Reeder details in the book range in distance from 1 to 19 miles, and geographically from Mary’s Peak west of Corvallis to the Portland area to the Gorge and Cascades. In the book, each month features about 10 hikes, with each hike accompanied by easy-to-use directions and a detailed topographic map.

Reeder will also lead a hike in conjunction with his presentation. See the Journey, Walking and Hiking’s monthly newsletter, for the hike’s date and details. Books will be available for sale at the evening event.

From the Archives

Originally built and dedicated in 1991, as part of the club’s centennial celebration, the MAC Trail serves as a public running and walking route through Washington Park. It was constructed after the need for a trail to keep pedestrian traffic off of the main park road was brought to the attention of MAC’s community outreach committee by Washington Park personnel in 1990. Trail creation was a collaborative effort between the MAC and park personnel. The trail has benefitted from clean up and restoration work over the years, with the Walking & Hiking Committee creating new trail markers in 2001 and organizing volunteer efforts to clear ivy from the path.
