I

t’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through 2021 and five months into the current committee year. It’s been an eventful ride so far, but it has also been an honor and a privilege volunteering to serve the community on the Board of Trustees.

Sometimes I think we forget what an extraordinary place MAC is, and it takes viewing it through someone else’s eyes to realize everything that we have at our disposal.

Robert Torch PRESIDENT

A number of friends have asked me recently if I’ve been enjoying serving as president. My response has been that “enjoy” is probably a bit strong, as the last few months have continued to present some extraordinary challenges. However, the best part of serving as president is that it has given me more opportunity and incentive to get to know different communities within the club and take part in experiences that I most likely would not have before.

Two recent events have served as highlights of my term so far.

The first was the opportunity, in early June, to meet many of this year’s MAC Scholar Athletes, whom you can read more about on page 48. The MAC Scholar Athlete program is a collaboration between MAC and the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, and it’s a tradition that dates back more than 50 years. This year, an amazing group of 26 sophomores from Portland-area high schools have been awarded a $1,500 scholarship for higher education, and will also have access to the club through the end of their senior year.

I spent several hours chatting with many of these students and their families as they came to the Turnaround for a photo shoot and interviews for The Winged M. Most of them had never been inside the club before, so I offered to give a few of them a tour. Seeing their expressions as we walked around the club and they learned more about everything MAC has to offer was heartwarming. No matter what sport or sports they excel at, they were thrilled at the prospect of having access to ones they had never considered trying before, such as squash, climbing, or swimming. During the tours, the club was alive with activity, and the students’ parents were amazed that their children would be part of such a wonderful place. It may have been the most fun I’ve ever had sharing the club.

Another memorable experience was the chance to spend a morning with the Early Birds, who earned that name for good reason. Bright and early on a Wednesday morning in June, a group of board members ventured up the hill to Washington Park, where the Early Birds were gathering for their annual Dawn of Summer social event, which featured strawberry shortcake and coffee (and possibly some other beverages). It’s been a challenging year, to say the least, and this was their first formal gathering in quite some time. Many laughs were shared, and there were some tears as well as we remembered two longtime and wellloved members, both of whom passed away in 2021. These members were honored by their friends with beautiful words and a touching tribute, and it was an honor to share the moment with at least 100 members and friends. The morning helped me realize once more how deep the connections are throughout every corner of the club.

Sharing events like these and connecting with different parts of our community makes me excited for MAC’s Big Draw.

This campaign is a great opportunity to share our wonderful club and everything it has to offer with prospective new members. I ask everyone to spread the word and encourage friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and colleagues whom you think would both enjoy MAC’s offerings and who would positively contribute to the community to capitalize on this rare opportunity and apply for membership and a spot on the waitlist without having to go through the lottery process. With MAC continuing to reopen and return to the vibrant place we know and love, this is the perfect time to open the doors of our amazing club to additional potential members. A lot more information and resources regarding MAC’s Big Draw are available at themac.com.

Summer is officially here, and I hope you’re able to take advantage of the longer days and warmer temperatures. I’ve experienced many summers throughout the U.S. and beyond, and I’d put summertime weather in Oregon up against any other place!

T

his time of year is always magical in Portland.

This summer, with the return of “normalcy,” could prove to be extra special as we again get to enjoy the small joys Charles Leverton many of us, myself GENERAL MANAGER included, have taken for granted.

Sharing a blanket with close friends and family, a chance to have a casual chat with a neighbor, and the warm embrace of someone you hold dearly are all within reach.

This time last year we were beginning the long journey toward a full reopening.

Our team was learning to manage newly emerging virtual programming, while also opening MAC’s doors under conditions that were, frankly, chaotic. Staff was creating and navigating the virtual workplace while adjusting to the nonnegotiable need to wear masks at all times within the walls of the club. All of this was done so we could do what we do best — serve members and help guide them back to the club they call home.

We have come so far together. Members and employees worked in concert to navigate the twists and turns of a world turned upside-down and ensured that our club can thrive for another 130 years. I am excited to experience my first “open” MAC summer and observe our community as it heals and returns. I am most excited about seeing (and participating) in club athletics as they come back in full force.

Lead With Strategy As we look to reconstitute our club, the staff leadership team is working with the Board of Trustees and member committees to facilitate the annual planning process for 2022. This year’s strategic planning process

will focus on leading with clear goals and objectives to help staff determine where to prioritize budgets and resources as we look to the future. Our objective is to spend the summer focusing on strategy, and then use that information to set budget requests as we head into the fall. We will then ratify our decisions via committee guidance in the form of motions under Robert’s Rules of Order. These motions ultimately will lead to a board vote and, if approved, the presentation of our plan for 2022.

It is easy to get tempted with thoughts of innovation and revolutionary experiences; however, next year will likely remain focused on stabilizing our team, programming, and club facilities after two years of crisis management. That said, there do exist some limited opportunities to improve member experiences and launch, in earnest, work to determine what the MAC of the future looks like. This will require us to invest our constrained resources wisely and strategically “place our bets” to enable enough capacity for a diverse portfolio.

For the next few weeks, our various committees, from Property and Early Birds to Volleyball, will work diligently to determine the best path ahead for our community. If this works sounds intriguing, please don’t hesitate to volunteer to serve at MAC. The club looks to find the next class of member leaders in the winter.

Let’s Finish Together We are again faced with rapid behavior changes as we unlearn many habits, such as desperately looking for a mask in the car when arriving at a destination. As we re-accustom ourselves to MAC and one another, please remember to lead with the kindness for which we are best known.

Each individual needs to acclimate at their own pace, and we want to see everyone at the COVID finish line. Members and staff are in this together. When you see someone struggling, please don’t hesitate to share a kind word or a now-visible, friendly smile.

FACES OF MAC MAC’s personal trainers are here to support members in a variety of athletic and personal goals, but some take that commitment to awe-inspiring lengths. Case in point: Garrett Schnell. His work with MAC member Jocelyn Libby, who was previously featured in a 2018 Winged M story about her volunteer work with Portland’s Trauma Intervention Program, surpasses the definition of going the extra mile.

Libby enrolled in an ongoing life-coaching program last year, and one of the themes is Obstacles Make Me Stronger.

A requirement for certification from the program is to take on a physical challenge, something that would really make her stretch. “They suggested a Spartan Race, a run through water and mud, maneuvering over and under 20 obstacles. My initial thought was ‘No way! At my age?!’”

You’d never know it by looking at her, but Libby is 67, and to make the prospect a wee bit less daunting, she enlisted the help of Schell. “I shared all my fears about doing the race with him at our first training session. His response was, ‘Well,

I’ll just do it with you!’ I was stunned.” As she’d just learned, Schnell was in the midst of planning his summer wedding. The fact that he was willing to take on both tasks simultaneously has helped her to maintain confidence as she continues toward her own objective.

“I have had some issues with back pain the past couple years, and I was convinced that I could no longer do certain activities.

For example, running. I thought those days were over,” she explains. “Garrett designed a program that allowed me to slowly build my strength and protect my back, and I’ve felt great. It is a challenge not giving in to the negative thoughts that sometimes tells me I can’t do something. My challenge this next week is to try to get across the monkey bars!”

“Success is really about the journey for me. It’s about showing up, doing the work I need to do to get to the next step, and committing to a goal and bringing my best self to it. Success will be getting up the morning after the Spartan Race, ready to continue training.”

Circus Guild; Strapmania in Copenhagen; CircAuch festival in Auch, France; and Sir Cupcake’s Queer Circus and Halcyon shows in Portland. Plus, she teaches at the Circus Project locally.

“She flies through the air with the greatest of ease, that daring young woman … trimming your trees?” Wait a minute, that’s not how that song goes. Or is it?

Few MAC members have likely taken the skills and physicality they developed at the club to the circus, and of those, even fewer likely converted those high-flying additions to the practical art of tree care.

Clearly, Zoe Stasko is a breed apart. At not even 30 years of age, she’s already filled a big top’s worth of tent space with her travels and performance-based adventures: Alter Circus in Washington, DC; Boise

“MAC has always provided me with a space for training for all aspects of the circus — early morning handstand training, evening sessions in the Stretching Room, and aerial conditioning on the pull-up bars, and the gymnastics open gym to train basic floor acrobatics. MAC has been my playground,” Stasko says.

“Without MAC, I would not have progressed as quickly. I started without a background in dance or gymnastics, so the club gave me a space to practice all the things I needed to in a space that I felt comfortable in, and in a community of athletic individuals who encouraged me in my path.”

Now, as she transitions from being a circus artist to working as an arborist, Stasko says MAC gives her the space to train for the new rigors of her job. “I keep

“I would like to encourage others, especially those my age, to keep moving and working on their health. If I can do this, most anyone can!,” she says. “This past year has been incredibly stressful for all of us, but I believe we have the ability to move our lives in a positive direction. As MAC members, we are very fortunate to have incredible support.”

up my basic aerial conditioning – an asset that most tree climbers don’t come with!

– and am able to incorporate new types of movements geared towards the more legintensive, heavy-lifting tree work. MAC will help keep me strong and limber as I progress through this new career.”

At this point in her life, Stasko says she wants the circus to be something that she does for fun, and that she’s ready for a career that isn’t hopping from show to show. “I’m ready to be a bit more settled in life, but the circus always will be a part of me, and I will always be a little wacky, wild, and fun-loving because of it.”

Right now, she’s focused on continuing to learn the art of tree climbing, even as she looks forward to possibly getting into competitive climbing. “There’s so much to learn to be an arborist — about the different kinds of trees, tree biology, how to make proper pruning cuts and set up your ropes — that I think I will be doing this work for a while. I am super excited about it!”

Balladeers Rise from the Pandemic Lemonade! The MAC Balladeers Men’s Choir has been making lots and lots of lemonade from the obstacles handed to us

by COVID-19 during these last 14 months.

Jon Lee

Balladeers Chair jlee.chair@themac.com

COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Bill Friesen Irv Handelman Frank MacMurray Chris Rasmussen Karl Wetzel

When I started my two-year term as the Balladeers Committee chair in early March of 2020, our first official business was making the decision to cancel all live concerts and rehearsals for the foreseeable future. Just a few days later, on March 10, 61 members of Washington’s Skagit Valley Chorale, which consisted primarily of female seniors, held a rehearsal. Of those singers, 52 fell ill and two eventually died. This tragic super-spreader event clearly demonstrated the infection risks of group singing, which we now know causes aerosols to be projected into the space surrounding the singers. Group singing can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable older individuals, be they singers or their audiences.

The Balladeers have been fortunate; to our knowledge none of us have been infected by the virus. And, instead of opting to go on hiatus for the duration of the

pandemic, we made ourselves busier than ever, recording virtual performances and concerts and strengthening our brotherly connections via emails and weekly Zoom sessions.

Our activities, recordings, concerts, and an 80th anniversary celebration video were broadcast to club members and other audiences worldwide, including to a number of senior homes. This work also caught the notice of MAC’s Member Events Committee, who chose to give the 2021 McAlpin Award to the Balladeers for outstanding social contributions. As the first MAC group to receive the honor, we were completely surprised and truly humbled.

For our latest project, we wanted to offer support for the Trail Blazers’ franchise star, Damian “Dame” Lillard, and also, in turn, to the city of Portland, which itself is experiencing a difficult period dealing with the tragic effects of the pandemic, unprecedented sociopolitical strife, and homelessness.

Continued from page 11 The natural answer for us, of course, was uplift via the power of song. Building off a tune we’ve sung for years, There’s Nothing Like A Dame from the 1940’s Broadway musical South Pacific, Balladeer Karl Wetzel and Director Dr. Scott Tuomi wrote allnew lyrics to create There’s Nothing Like The Dame! We then spent two months making more than 50 individual audio and video recordings of the song. Our accompanist and now audio-video engineer Paul Nelsen artfully compiled these into a full-blown music video, complete with clips showing MVP-candidate Lillard ravaging his NBA competitors.

There’s Nothing Like The Dame! received its broadcast premier on the Blazers Game Day Show with Chad Doing on Sunday, May 16, during which Doing conducted an enthusiastic live interview with Scott Tuomi.

Detecting cancer and identifying early markers in larger, dangerous polyps via less invasive procedures reduces unnecessary procedures and improves treatment.

Preventing cancer by diet and understanding intestinal microbiome with your food and body can make a difference, knowledge we can provide to help you.

Finally, managing the costs of your care is important to us. Most screening colonoscopies now have no deductible, but too often the costs to payers and employers still prevents many patients from the best care. I'm happy to join the Pearl Precision Surgery Center to expand value based options for outpatient surgical procedures.

MAC Artist Profile: George Johanson This month, MAC’s Arts Committee kicks off the first in an ongoing series featuring individual works of art in the club’s collection, and the artists who created them. The hope is that members’ visits to the club will perhaps take on a new dimension as they learn more about this extensive and valuable resource, and that these conversations with the artists will enhance their viewing experience.

The series begins with George Johanson, whose piece Waiting for the Parade is located behind the new front entry desk, outside the At Your Service and Manager on Duty offices. Part of a group of some 40 paintings, it was purchased by MAC in 2014.

Parades, along with rain and umbrellas, have been a recurring theme in George’s work for decades. In this piece, colorful umbrellas are arranged as whimsical shapes such as mushrooms and Chinese lanterns.

“I base my art on what is around me, what I see, what I experience directly,” he says.

This painting was the result of a walk near Lincoln High School on the day of the Rose Festival parade, seeing spectators waiting on the curb for the approaching parade. He refers to the concept of “waiting” as a metaphor for life, full of anticipation and expectation, thoughtfully commenting that it seems especially appropriate as we begin to emerge from the isolation of the past year.

When asked about the color palette in the painting, George notes that he has been interested in color for his entire career, but he has gravitated toward bold colors in the past several years. “I really love strong colors, and the way they change in response to the colors next to them. I love to push colors as much as possible.” During a recent University of Oregon-sponsored lecture series on Northwest artists, he explained: “I don’t just make a plan and decide on the color scheme. I’m looking, waiting for something to happen. I’m putting the color down, but it’s also finding me. The vivid yellow of the sky in this painting is an intentional contrast to the detail in the painting.”

While he doesn’t get to spend as many hours painting as he used to, George’s dedication to his work continues. He still creates in the same studio as he has for the last 50 years. Always introspective and reflective, he continues to ask what it means to be an artist. For him, the answer lies in taking a long, hard look at the world, and in so doing, “you might discover, bit by bit, something about who you are as an individual.” That process is never finished for Johanson, and he says that he still finds the joy in “making” that all artists have, and that being an artist has been an opportunity for self-discovery rather than a way to make a living.

We encourage members to take a moment to enjoy discovering something for themselves when looking at this striking piece of art. And just for fun, see if you can find an image of George in this wonderful addition to the club’s collection.

Life itself is about time Life is a big, beautiful, fantastic, messy train It has been moving inexorably forward on its tracks for eons of time You get on it You do things Eventually you get off The train keeps moving on as powerful and beautiful as ever, after you get off Maybe you left something of value on that train You can hope so

—George Johanson

Thank you George for sharing your art, and your insight with all of us.

—Jeanne Neville and Nancy Smith

George’s work can be viewed at the Portland Art Museum and is for sale at the Augen Gallery on NW Davis Street.

MAC Honors Juneteenth In the previous issue of The Winged M, the DEI Committee wrote about what diversity, equity, and inclusion mean to the MAC community and how each comes to life here. Opportunities abound for each of us to learn about, and participate in, cultural appreciations that deepen our understanding of and connection to our fellow members. It is in this spirit of inclusion that MAC recognized Juneteenth last month.

President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that the enslaved in all Confederate States were free, went into effect on Jan. 1, 1863. Juneteenth recognizes the date, June 19, 1865, more than two years later, when U.S. Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to proclaim all slaves were free.

Juneteenth, the blending of the two words June and Nineteenth, is the only holiday in the United States that recognizes the emancipation of the 4 million people who were enslaved in America at the start of the Civil War until the passing of the 13th Amendment in 1865, which declared slavery unconstitutional. Last month, President Biden signed the National Independence Day Act, establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday.

Oregon has its own, complicated relationship with slavery. In the 1840s, many white settlers moved west from the Midwest and border states. They rejected the notion of slavery while simultaneously rejecting free Blacks. At the Oregon Constitutional Convention in 1857, as Oregon sought statehood, there was much debate about slavery and race culminating in the voters’ decision to both ban slavery and exclude Blacks. Oregon became the only state admitted to the union with such a clause in its constitution. The clause was never enforced, but the message was clear. This exclusion clause was officially repealed in 1926, but racist language remained in the state’s constitution until 2002. The 2020 census reports that less than 2 percent of Oregon’s population of 4.3 million identify as Black or African American.

Now increasingly observed across the country, Juneteenth festivities include readings by Black authors and other recogntions of African American culture, the singing of traditional songs, and shared meals of historically beloved dishes. Many of these foods feature the color red, a symbol of ingenuity and resilience in bondage. While the foods are often red, the colors of Juneteenth are red, white, and blue to remind us that those who were enslaved and their descendants are Americans.

MAC’s Case for Culture display outside the Reading Lounge.

On June 19, MAC restaurants featured menu items inspired by African American culture, along with table signs outlining a brief history of the holiday and its significance. There was also a display in the Case for Culture outside the Reading Lounge.

The club’s first recognition of Juneteenth was only the beginning of what we hope to do to make all feel welcome and seen here. With that in mind, what forms would you like to see future observances of holidays and heritage months take? The DEI Committee and club leadership invites members to offer feedback and help make MAC the most diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment possible.

Award-Winning Gourmet Dining

Experience western ranch fun on a historic working cattle ranch in eastern Oregon’s high desert. There is something for everybody at Silvies, where ranch experiences can include: award-winning golf, biking, hiking, Polaris RZR tours, pistol and rifle shooting, and scotch & wine tasting. Learn to cook sourdough and gourmet chevon dishes before you go out for that roping lesson. Or, just snuggle up by the fire to enjoy the solitude, natural beauty and wildlife of the Silvies Valley—where it’s so quiet, you can hear your heart beat!

You will love the “Ranch to Table” Blue Mountain Gourmet Cuisine, and being a cattle and goat ranch, homegrown grass-finished organic beef and chevon dominates the menu, but it’s not all red meat. The bread is a sourdough made on the ranch from a 100-year-old family starter. Many of the herbs are sourced from the ranch, while local Oregon farms supply fruits, vegetables and many other ingredients used by our Executive Chef. Sample our collection of over 110 different scotches, and browse the extensive wine list with pairings for the seven course tasting menus.

Indulge Yourself

The spa offers a variety of treatments including body and foot massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, hot rocks, skin & nail treatments and much more.

CHALLENGE

Athletic Director Survey Results and Search Update In early May, members were asked to fill out a short online survey regarding the qualities and qualifications they considered most important in MAC’s next athletic director.

Some key takeaways from the 221 responses include: Members want an athletic director who can build relationships, be hyper-present in athletic spaces and communities, and someone who understands the athlete journey from recreational to elite level.

MET Turning 20 in 2020, we knew it would be a “special” year for us – just didn’t know how special. Or how challenging. We’re standing strong and hope you are too.

IN MEMORIAM Arthur Raymond Moshofsky Jan. 13, 1928-March 29, 2021 Arthur Raymond Moshofsky, age 93, of Lake Oswego passed away on March 29, 2021. Art was born Jan. 13, 1928. One of seven children, he was raised on a family farm in Washington County. All seven siblings attended McKinley, then a oneroom schoolhouse, and they all graduated from Beaverton High School. Art played football for Beaverton. He liked it so much he found a way to play football in the Army.

Family and football would turn out to be passions and favorite past times for Art. Art and brother Gerry joined the armed forces together. Art served in the post-World War II occupational forces stationed in Japan. Then, like all his brothers, Art attended and graduated from the University of Oregon. He studied accounting and received a degree in business.

While there, he met and married Emily Jane Knecht. Art and Jane were married for 67 years and together they raised three children in Raleigh Hills before moving to Lake Oswego. Watching their kids, and then their grandchildren, play and compete was a source of pride and joy.

JULY 2021

Art went to work with his older brother, Ed, as a lumber wholesaler. Together they brokered lumber as Whipple-Moshofsky lumber company, and then found the opportunity to turn a bad debt into ownership of a small lumber mill – Fort Hill Lumber – in Grand Rhonde. Art took great pride in developing this “bag of bolts” into a thriving mill. Though as many lumbermen may attest, they felt they were just trying to survive the ugly markets and bad breaks such as two mill fires in the same year. But they continued to persevere, invest, innovate, and grow the mill through the down years, just long enough so that they were able to experience a few good markets along the way as well. They sold the mill in 1989 and left the business.

Art and Ed were part of a loyal core of members of the Oregon Duck Club. These diehards figured out a way to find something positive to say about some ugly and devastating losses. Nevertheless, they loved the Ducks, and hung on until they eventually started seeing some success in the programs and facilities. Trips to Rose Bowls and national championships were a truly different experience for these early faithful of the flock.

As a lifelong MAC member, Art found a home working out and having breakfast with the Early Birds, and his family enjoyed frequenting Sunday buffets. His boys played Warner football for MAC, learned swimming skills, and then went on to compete at the highest levels with the MAC Swim Team.

A man of faith, Art was predeceased by his wife Jane. He is survived by children Linda Hickerson, Dean Moshofsky (Sarah), and Doug Moshofsky (Julie). He has 10 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. The family recorded and are able to share a video link to Art’s memorial story to share with friends that they are unable to receive and welcome in person.

Great First Impressions New entry leads improved access

M

embers who have used the club over the past few months have likely noticed quite a bit of construction taking place around the entries, Mporium, and the Parking Structure. Good news: the Access Program work wraps up this month!

In June, remodeled Main and Fourth Floor entrances were unveiled with new welcome desks and (deactivated) speed gates. On Monday, July 5, speed gates at the Main Entrance begin to be phased into use. All gates are scheduled to become operational by Sept. 13 along with a new parking system and guest and events management process. For the time being, the Mporium retail space continues to be dedicated to facilitating the club’s credentialing process.

All this is the culmination of years of work, starting with commissioning the security audit in 2018. The Access Program scope was developed over the next two years with the help of dedicated members, staff, architects, and other consultants along the way. The first project, focusing on cameras and doors security, kicked off in the spring of 2020.

The new entry design was shepherded by the ad hoc Entry Design Committee through the Property, House, Technology Advisory, and ad hoc Facility Access committees and Access Program Steering Team, as well as the Board of Trustees. Design input was also solicited from members through town halls and surveys.

New Main Entrance Features

Garage Updates

Some members may recall walking into MAC and being greeted

by Faye Sasser and the big board of names. Coming in July, touchless sliding doors replicate that warm “Welcome to MAC” feeling into a statement-piece reception space.

The ad hoc Facilities Access Committee took the lead on establishing parameters for the Parking Management System design, which secures the member garage from unauthorized parking and provides data about usage that will allow the club to refine services.

Looking to the west is the remodeled Mporium, and a unobstructed view toward the Loprinzi Wing. To the east, the space has been widened for a clear line of sight down to the Ballroom.

Access to both areas is secure. Relocating the front desk to face the Turnaround, providing a new ceiling and sliding doors in the vestibule, and simplifying access to the Athletic Entrance, all improve the experience of entering the club. The design is efficient and accommodates potential future development.

Beginning Sept. 13, all vehicle access to the Parking Structure will be controlled using automatic gate arms, which are activated when a vehicle has the proper credentials. As a backup, the gates also respond to a valid MAC credential or wrist band. Guests can park in the garage, space permitting, by pulling a ticket at the structure entrance. That ticket can be validated at no charge through AYS or a parking kiosk. Typically, event attendees are not authorized to use the member garage for parking, and instead get directed to one of MAC’s overflow parking lots.

Primary club access is now through the enhanced Main Entrance vestibule, but the new layout is flexible enough so that the old Athletic Entrance can still be used for special events. Although the speed gates allow members to bypass the front desk to enter MAC, many At Your Service (AYS) functions still take place there, continuing the personal connection with the staff that members have come to appreciate. Front Desk employees no longer have their back to the glass and are enjoying the immediate interaction with those entering the club. The Mporium has an open floor plan with a sliding glass wall which, when fully opened, will produce an inviting flow into the new main corridor.

Because entry to and exit from the member garage is managed through the club’s security and parking management systems, valuable usage data, such as peak parking days and times, and length of stay, is now available to MAC. This data will help the club better manage demand.

Fresh Credentials MAC’s new credentialing process kicked off April 1 and as of June 18, more than 10,000 members had submitted their forms. The old membership credential is being replaced by radio frequency identification, or RFID, in the form of new ID cards and wristbands. Members also can download the MAC app, where their new credential QR code is located.

Here’s what these new credentials bring to the club: • Faster entry and exit • Touchless access to speed up arrival at activities and classes • Less opportunity for unauthorized persons to move through the club • Improved member experience through analysis of club usage trends If members need assistance with their credentials, the Front Desk attendant and AYS are available to assist them.

Other Improvements The MAC Access Program also includes an enhanced guest and events management system. Coming in the fall, guests will no longer have to be manually signed into a register book! Members ages 15 and older can log in from anywhere to create and send their guests invitations with a QR code prior to arriving at the club. Details and specific instructions will be released over the summer.

The Events & Catering department will issue invitations for social and athletic happenings, be they large, small, or impromptu. Following registration, each attendee will receive a confirmation email with information regarding MAC’s location, a parking map, and event-specific documents. Guests and event attendees can also use one of the kiosks located at the Main and Fourth Floor Entrances to register onsite.

Everyone involved expects great things from the MAC Access Program during the summer rollout and into the future. As always, the club is here to support members as they acclimate to new processes. Anyone who needs help is invited to ask the front desk attendant or AYS, or by emailing atyourservice@ themac.com.

Speed gates are scheduled to be phased into use this month.

MAC Cycling’s Wine Ride Is Back — with a Twist

By Mark Remy

C

yclists and oenophiles rejoice: After a COVID-induced hiatus last summer, the annual Wine Ride is back — and this time, the wine comes to MAC. As always, this year’s event, Sunday, July 18, features easy-tomoderate routes and “an amazing selection from regional wineries,” says Steve Getsiv, Cycling Committee chair. But instead of cycling from vineyard to vineyard, as in years past, participants begin and end their rides in the Turnaround, where food trucks, wine, and beer are waiting.

“Rather than trying to ride your bicycle after multiple wine tasting stops,” Getsiv says, “we think it makes more sense, and is far safer, to finish the ride and then taste some delicious wines.”

Those wines will represent six established and emerging wineries, including four in Oregon, ranging from traditional pinot noirs and rieslings to a “zin-based red blend,” says Erin Palmer, owner of The Wine Cellar, a local shop tasked with arranging the tastings.

“My team has put together a wonderful flight for this year’s event,” Palmer says. “We have gathered some of the most influential tastemakers in the American wine industry, including Josh McDaniels, from Doubleback Winery of Walla Walla, Washington, a highly prized producer of Bordeaux-style wines; Kate Ayres, head winemaker for Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, an iconic Oregon brand that marries the traditional local grapes with a rich and robust style

of winemaking; and Eric Molinatti, of Brown Estate Winery of Napa Valley, which has won international acclaim for its zinfandel and cabernet bottlings, as well as its new project, House of Brown, which brings more affordable Napa Valley wines to market.

In the spirit of rebuilding the community and uplifting those who could use a little more support, we’ve paired each of those established winemakers with an emerging winery. These include Illahee Vineyards of Oregon, specializing in exceptional white and sparkling wines, while still producing wonderful pinot noirs; Shiba Wichern of the Willamette Valley, whose pinot noir and auxerrois wines are intended to be enjoyed with foods and are stunning; and Lundeen Cellars, which makes some of the best sparkling wines in America.”

The Cycling Committee has put together routes for a variety of biking abilities. A 45-mile ride begins at 8 a.m., and a shorter 30-mile course starts at 9 a.m. Start times are staggered to keep groups to 10-12 riders. Not into cycling? That’s OK, too.

“No bike riding is required,” says Getsiv.

The cost is $79 per member for the ride, food, wine and beer; $69 for just food and beverages; and $39 for cycling and food only.

Ten percent of gross proceeds will go to a local charity.

Partnership Propels MAC Scholar Athlete Program Range of Experiences Bring Perspectives to Process

By Jake Ten Pas The MAC Scholar Athlete program has evolved over the years, responding to the needs of the students and communities it serves, but the goal remains the same. The experience accelerates the success of promising high school students by providing access to a community that enhances their developing athletic performance, offers educational opportunities, and introduces social connections.

This program is a partnership between MAC and the Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF), with each providing an important element for these remarkable individuals.

MAF awards sophomores a $1,500 scholarship that can be used at any two- or fouryear accredited institution within six years of graduating from high school. Those who

48 | The Wınged M |

JULY 2021

receive the honor are able to use Multnomah Athletic Club’s huge array of facilities through the end of their senior year.

Because each individual’s life journey is different, the MAC Scholar Athlete program both facilitates a range of goals and attracts a diversity of individuals at every level. It takes volunteers and community connections to make such an enterprise flourish, and as MAF and MAC celebrate another class of recipients, it’s worth pausing to consider the folks behind the scenes who make their support possible.

Bringing together Portland professionals from a variety of backgrounds, and helping them work toward common goals, is something at which MAF excels, as the following stories of teamwork, partnership, and collaboration ably illustrate.

Hard Work Never Goes Out of Style “I can’t emphasize enough how classy Lisa Bendt is in her relationship with athletic directors, and the positivity she communicates,” says Portland Interscholastic League (PIL) Assistant AD Jeffrey Erdman of MAF’s executive director. “We all love when Lisa visits to present, and we want to help the foundation because of the things she does and makes possible. The way that she presents the program is unbelievable.”

Erdman’s relationship with the MAC Scholar Athlete program dates back to 1973, when he entered Madison High School as a freshman. Long before Bendt took the reins of the program, Erdman made it his mission to achieve the honor.

“It was a very prestigious achievement for an athlete to aspire to. When I got to high school, the coaches and the teachers encouraged me to keep up good grades, practice citizenship, and participate in three sports, in order to have the chance to win the MAC Scholar Athlete award,” Erdman says. His hard work paid off, and he received the designation in 1975, which meant a lot to his whole family.

“It was amazing. The banquet was really neat. I got to introduce my parents. We were definitely blue collar in Northeast Portland – dad was a machinist, and mom was stay-at-home. We got to go to MAC, have a nice meal, and it made me feel good to make that possible,” he recalls.

“I was always very proud of that and encouraged by it. I got into Lewis & Clark College and then became a teacher and coach at Madison, where I passed on that encouragement to other potential scholar athletes.”

In February, Portland Public Schools voted to rename Madison after Leodis V. McDaniel, an African American former principal of the school. The change represents the city’s growing diversity, following Woodrow Wilson High School being renamed after Black journalist and activist Ida B. Wells in January.

This dovetails with the club and foundation’s ongoing work to host conversations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and MAF’s emphasis on evolving its scholarships to best represent the shifting demographics of the city and the needs of the student athletes it serves.

“If I could have brought a friend along, I would have gone every couple of weeks, at least at a minimum. That would have helped,” Erdman adds. “That helps break the ice, and you meet people once you get there. I wasn’t looking for money, really, just the recognition and the honor of striving for something related to athletics activity, and citizenship was very important to me.”

(above) Erdman in 1976 at Madison High School; (below) with his wife, Mary.

Erdman recalls not using his access to the club as much as he’d have liked to after winning the award, due to the inability to bring guests with him at the time. “I was a Northeast Portland kid, and I had no one to go with! I was intimidated to just walk into the club and use it by myself.” he says.

Now, MAC Scholar Athletes can bring a guest with them, whether it’s a family member, teammate, or just a friend who might enjoy the experience and the amazing MAC facilities.

In the years since, Erdman has done his best to bring such recognition, as well as the increased financial and access benefits, to students of the PIL. “I’ll do anything to encourage young people to do well in school, to strive, to reach their maximum.

I’m pushing ADs to get coaches to do things for their community, with their program, with their teams. It’s not just working hard and becoming a good baseball, basketball, football, whatever player.

You need to be a good person and of good character.”

As part of the MAC Scholar Athlete selection process, Erdman says character counts for a lot, and that he does his best to emphasize well-rounded humans when trying to make tough choices between many qualified applicants. “I was fortunate enough to win that award, which helped encourage me to work hard, that doing the right thing, was more important than just caring about winning and losing.

Continued from page 49 Teamwork is about understanding that you’re part of something bigger than just being an individual. If you focus on helping others get better and playing your role, learning from adversity, and helping your team, you’re going to be more successful in life, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Helping to Level the Playing Field Educator, tutor, and MAC member Tamara Kizziar is still paying her kids’ club fees in hopes that they’ll someday come back to MAC. Her daughter, Piper, is a senior at University of Oregon, and her son lives and works in Chicago, but her belief in MAC being part of a fuller life makes hope spring eternal.

Before she had kids, Kizziar was a teacher of upper-grade elementary school, who left to devote her time to her own children. As she saw them becoming increasingly independent, she decided it was time to put her skills to use outside her home. Oregon Episcopal School was hiring substitute teachers, and Kizziar jumped at the opportunity to work part time, allowing her the flexibility to support her aging mother in Southern California between jobs.

Then the pandemic hit. “That was the end of the sub job because schools went remote. A family asked me to tutor their child because asynchronous learning was a struggle. This spring, when students went back in-person, I did both, and it was a lot,” Kizziar says.

For those keeping score at home, what appears to be two educational positions actually turns out to be three. Right before children physically returned to school, Kizziar had opened a communique from MAC that presented yet another opportunity to help young people.

“I was reading an email from the president and general managers saying, ‘Here’s a way you can get involved,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, that seems cool!’ Because I teach at the elementary level, it’s fun to see what they’re doing up at the high school level.

It’s interesting to read about what they’re doing, their accomplishments, and where they’re headed.”

50 | The Wınged M |

JULY 2021

selecting with disparate backgrounds helps, too, and while Kizziar tended to come at the process through the lens of education, others on the review team emphasized athletic experiences and community involvement, resulting in a well-rounded perspective being brought to bear on every application. “There was a former coach on my team who looked at it in a way I didn’t, and that gave me pause! So, when I reread an application, it made me view things a bit differently.”

Kizziar says that being able to step outside of her own point of view was another key motivator to getting involved with MAF in the first place. While her own kids took advantage of MAC’s extensive facilities, opportunities for socializing, and range of athletic opportunities, she’s very aware that isn’t the case for most young people in Portland.

Tamara Kizziar

That position, as the subject of this story might hint, was reviewing applications for the MAC Scholar Athlete program, a role that Kizziar points out ample return on her investment of time and passion. “After the last few years, to read about these students, it really gives me a lot of hope for the future of our world. To know that someday these kids will be in charge is quite affirming.”

“Everything you see in newspapers and online tends to focus on really negative things. It’s refreshing to see that one of the prevailing themes throughout the applications is positivity. Maybe we could all learn from this and look at it through the eyes of somebody who’s wide-eyed and just ready to take it all on.”

If the abundance of amazing stories served to elevate Kizziar’s spirits, the more grounding aspect turned out to be choosing between them. “When you read all of these applications, nobody is not deserving, so that’s the hardest part!”

“Lisa is a great facilitator of constructive discussions and an expert at clarifying different points of view in the room when there are tough choices to be made,” Kizziar explains. Having partners in

“My children had an amazing experience, going to Lincoln High School and belonging to MAC, and I would love for all to have such avenues for success,” Kizziar says. “When I got involved, I found myself wondering, ‘Which one of these students would financially have the hardest time joining?’ I know that’s not what it’s all about, but I would love for any kid that wanted to get into MAC to be a part of it. It’s a big monetary commitment for families, so I love the fact that the program gives these young people a chance to experience it.”

Now that Kizziar is more aware of the work MAC and MAF are doing together, and she’s experienced the good vibes first-hand, she says she looks forward to volunteering again next year. While some decisions are tougher than others, there are no wrong choices. “I did not read one application that I thought, ‘Well, this is a mediocre person.’ Overall, it was a great way to get involved and a very positive experience.”

Volunteers don’t have to wait for next year’s scholarship review teams to get involved with the community through the foundation.

Growing the Pickleball Community U

pon gaining committee status as of April 1, the MAC Pickleball Committee undertook the challenge of pursuing its primary goal: to grow the Pickleball community at MAC. Achieving this goal in a planned fashion has been difficult during the unpredictable shutdowns related to COVID, of course. Pickleball was growing before COVID hit in 2020, and during quarantine some MAC members who usually pursued indoor sports took it up and played outdoors. The club’s move to install an outdoor pickleball court in 2019 seems strangely prescient now.

For players who like to curate their games, the outdoor court continues to be available by reservation all day, every day, and indoor courts are open for reservations 5:30-9 a.m. and 5:30-9 p.m.

Monday-Friday; 5:30-9 a.m. Saturday; and 5:30-9 p.m. Sunday.

Open Play Returns

Stay in Touch

Pickleball Open Play has returned to indoor courts, 5-9 weeknights. No reservations are required, just stop by ready to casually compete. Since it is more fun to play with players at a similar level, Pickleball Open Play is divided as follows: - Monday and Wednesday: Beginner/Early Intermediate - Tuesday and Thursday: Intermediate/Advanced - Friday: All Levels

56 | The Wınged M |

The Pickleball Committee hosts beginners clinics, staffed by committee members and other pickleball volunteers, during open play on the first Monday of each month. This is a great opportunity to learn the rules and meet fellow new players! MAC has balls and some paddles for beginners to use when trying out the sport.

For the latest news and information, make a request to join the newly formed MAC Pickleball Facebook group. It’s also a place to get questions answered about the sport and is a resource for helping members find appropriate-level players to face on the court.

In addition to Facebook, members interested in club emails regarding pickleball should sign up via the My Membership page at themac.com. Go to My Interests and select “Pickleball.”

Pickleball players should also mark their calendars for the Annual MAC Pickleball Tournament the weekend of Oct. 9.

Golf Committee and Community Hit It Big at Pumpkin Ridge PUMPKIN RIDGE GOLF CLUB

The MAC Golf Committee was thrilled by the robust registration for the annual MAC Scramble at Ghost Creek at Pumpkin Ridge in June. Thanks to everyone who came out.

A reminder that MAC families have an amazing opportunity to receive an exclusive MAC Creek Card. The card is available simply by showing a MAC membership card at the Ghost Creek pro shop and completing a registration form. Benefits start immediately and include booking tee times three weeks in advance and reduced greens fees. Plus card holders are able to take advantage of other perks still to be announced, such as demo days and clinics.

Keep an eye out for details on the annual Golf Shamble coming in October.

Pro’s Corner Based on a study of the golf swing by Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, head of the Department of Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, the average golfer could increase their proximity to the hole by 50 percent if they positioned themselves correctly at impact. Additionally, another study showed that 93 percent of amateur golfers incorrectly flip the club at impact.

Top instructors agree that “the moment of truth” is at impact. As you work on improving different aspects of your swing, remember to incorporate your changes into a better impact position.

Focusing on your lead wrist (as a righthanded golfer the left wrist) moving toward the target at impact is a simple thought to ingrain the proper position. This works for all clubs in your bag including your putter!

Racquetball Is Back at MAC MAC Racquetball is back and beginning to thrive again. Yes, masks are still being worn by some, but various methods to keep goggles from fogging have been identified: surgical tape over the nose or de-fogging spray on non-prescription lenses works great!

For those who have been away from the court for a while, remember to take it easy and don’t skip warming up and stretching to avoid injury. Warm-up drills are posted in the Racquetball lounge.

A summer league is underway and the Racquetball Committee is looking forward to seeing more and more players back on the courts on a regular basis — in singles and doubles matches. A brand-new practice/warm-up tool, the Racquetball Rebounder, has been placed at the courts and provides the opportunity to practice forehand, backhand, and dink shots without having to run and retrieve the ball. In other news, coach Charlie Pratt is back, and Junior Racquetball is kicking off soon. Visit themac.com for details.

For those new to MAC and/or Racquetball, come down to the sub-basement and sign up for email updates from the sport. Or reach out to racquetball@themac.com. All new players receive a welcome package that includes a new sleeve of balls, and league and rule information, as well as access to a committee member who can answer questions and show the ropes. Consider joining the new MAC Racquetball Facebook page for sport updates and to find other MAC members who are looking to play.

Why Karate?

Practitioners share what keeps them engaged with the sport BILL PLAPINGER

Fourteen months after MAC Karate moved to a virtual format, May saw the first in-person classes resume in Studio Two. As MAC Karate incorporates new practices to keep students safe and healthy, the Karate Committee asked both new and longtime karate practitioners who consistently showed flexibility, commitment, and good humor over the last year to reflect on why they train, and what has kept them engaged over the years. If any of these experiences resonate, please reach out via karate@themac.com to learn more about the program and opportunities to begin training.

Why did you start training in karate?

“I was recovering from a knee injury and working out in the Exercise and Conditioning Room when I saw a poster in the hallway advertising an adults class during the summer. I had always wanted to do karate, so at 47 years old, I started.”

—MAC member, training 14 years “I was looking for a new challenge, something that would focus to build skills rather than a typical workout class. The chance to set new goals never ends in karate.”

—MAC member, training 9 years “My young daughter started. I joined to help her and found it was very good for me.”

—MAC member, training 3 years What have you learned from your training that you did not expect?

“No challenge is too great for me to accomplish.”

—MAC member, training 23 years “In the beginning I was very surprised to see that a short 25-minute class two times a week was resulting in core strength and better balance. Eventually, as classes got longer and more intense I appreciated the low impact, but high power, workouts.”

—MAC member, training 1.5 years

JULY 2021

Carol Pausz and Sylas Williams “A unique combination of team and individual training. You have to learn how to practice on your own, push yourself, but also be accountable when practicing together. You learn discipline and responsibility. Karate is one of the only sports I’ve experienced that is physically and mentally challenging and truly contributes to holistic personal growth.”

—MAC member, training 15 years “Confidence. I’ve said ‘there’s no way I can do that’ before eventually learning a technique enough times that my mindset is no longer if I can accomplish something, but when.”

—MAC member, training 9 years “Balance, calm, patience.”

—MAC member, training 3 years

What keeps you motivated to continue karate training?

“My next belt test.”

—MAC member, training 1.5 years “Maintaining mobility, flexibility and eventually earning a black belt.”

—MAC member, training 14 years “There is no end to learning and the ways your training can twist and turn over time are endless. Competition, teaching, higher belt ranks, learning related styles of martial arts — there is no way to get bored if you are a lifelong learner.”

—MAC member, training 40 years

Coaches Corner: Playing Tennis Outside — Strategy Tennis players have to think more about the game when they are playing outside. As mentioned in last month’s column, there are a multitude of differences between indoor to outdoor tennis. One of the biggest is the speed of the game. Indoor tennis is faster; the lack of elements and truer bounces allows for better positioning and more accuracy. Additionally, the height on the bounce inside is typically lower and consequently more prone to be in a player’s strike zone.

When playing doubles, it can be effective to play a two-back formation. Due to the slower nature of the outdoor game, a team willing to stay back and play defense forces their opponents to hit a lot of winners to be victorious.

Benches at outdoor courts are often not shaded. On really hot days it is important to find any shade at all on change overs.

Players should feel free to sit at the back of the court if that is the only shady spot

GETTY IMAGES

It can be more difficult hitting overheads outside with the sun shining, not to mention there is no roof to limit how high a lob can be. Remember, high lobs can slow points down and provide time to retrieve more balls. One more ball in play could be the difference needed.

Players who find certain shots difficult to hit on an outdoor court should remember that it’s more than likely their opponent is feeling the same thing. Players should try to make their opponents hit the same shot giving them trouble to see how they will respond. The shot may produce an attackable ball and provide the opportunity to take control of the point.

available. Umbrellas and umbrella chairs can be used as well. The sun drains energy; every possible moment spent in the shade can help.

Often overlooked, but very important when playing outside, is the toss. This is especially true in doubles where players will only need to serve from one side of the court. For example, Player A cannot serve into the sun; they have a mental block and refuses to do it. Their partner, Player B has no such issue. Player A is the stronger server and the team wants Player A serving first with the sun at his back. How can they handle the toss to get what they want?

Scenario 1: Players C and D win the toss and elect to serve. Players A and B should choose the side with the sun in their faces. After the first game the teams switch ends now putting the sun behind Player A.

Scenario 2: Players C and D win the toss and elect to return. Players A and B should choose the side putting the sun behind them for the first game.

Scenario 3: Players A and B win the toss. If they elect to serve and Players C and D choose the side with the sun to their backs, Player A needs to serve into the sun or Player B must start serving. If Players A and B elect to choose the side, Players C and D may still choose and force the same situation. The answer for Players A and B when winning the toss is to defer. This forces Players C and D to choose first and allows Players A and B to get exactly what they want to begin the match.

Outdoor tennis adds extra elements to the game. Rather than complain about it being different, players should use the opportunity to improve their game. It is OK to like indoor tennis more, but the more time spent playing outside, the easier it becomes to adjust to the different strategies needed. ­—Head Coach Paul Reber

Now that COVID restrictions at MAC are relaxing and swimming pools are open, handball players might consider swimming to become a stronger, fitter, faster, and better handball player.

According to the website Healthline, swimming provides a full-body, cardiovascular workout without stressing the body.

It tones muscles, builds strength, and increases endurance — all requirements for playing great handball!

Swimming is also ideal for rehabbing an injury, without the stress of high-impact exercises that may delay or stall recovery. Add reducing calories, improving one’s sleep, boosting mood, and improving stress management and swimming becomes a must for serious handball players seeking to take their games to the next level.

Stanley Cohan, M.D., Ph.D. Medical Director Providence Multiple Sclerosis Center Providence Multiple Sclerosis Center is a comprehensive MS Center that cares for more patients than anywhere else in Oregon.

We want every patient to know how important their well-being and happiness are to us.

Tell us about yourself.

What’s been a great experience at Providence?

I grew up in New York; I enjoy travel, music and literature; and I used to sail.

Almost every day brings an example of improving someone’s life. It’s not the large dramatic experiences that are most meaningful, but the day-to-day interactions with people we try to help, and the deep, enduring relationships that result from these experiences.

What’s your dream for Providence MS Center?

Our focus is on providing great care for our 4,000 patients, with access to leading-edge therapeutic and diagnostic tools, including the latest clinical trials.

We want every patient to know how important their well-being and happiness are to us.

How is Providence addressing health disparities in MS treatment?

Providence MS Center is co-founder of the National African Americans with Multiple Sclerosis Registry. This is a response to the disparity in access to health care and to poorer clinical outcomes facing Black patients with MS. We believe this work is a moral imperative.

We are urging Black people with MS to join the national registry (www.naamsr.org).

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

We’re unable to do novel research without philanthropy.

Generous donors help ensure we can provide the latest treatments for all our patients.

See Dr. Cohan’s latest update on MS research at ProvidenceFoundations.org/brain.
