lub members will begin to feel the impact of a major capital project this month when the Men’s Bar, the Game Room, MACtinis, 26 Founders, the Grand Ballroom and main kitchen close for more than three months.

MAC staff has worked David Horstkotte president very hard to keep members informed, accommodate affected staff, and provide alternative dining opportunities through the summer. Let’s take a look at the process we use to maintain and improve over 600,000 square feet of facilities, some of which, like the leaky kitchen floor, are over 50 years old.

Following the construction of the Loprinzi wing in 2000, the club recognized the need for increased spending on maintenance-related items. An annual target expenditure level was established to fund this anticipated level of spending.

In 2008, the club completed a Facility Reserve Study, finding that the annual target expenditure level was still too low to adequately maintain existing assets and facilities. The club also acknowledged the desire to fund “new enhancements” (like the 2013 Spin Studio) by allocating a recommended portion of funding for these. For example, 2015 funding for replacement and maintenance items was $5.5 million versus $653,000 for “new enhancements.”

Starting as early as this month, staff and various committees start planning their budgets for the following year. The capital portion of the budget applies to items or projects totaling $2,500 or more prioritized by: • life safety and regulatory items • maintenance and energy related items • requests for new items.

Each year, capital requests substantially exceed the amount the adopted financial policy allows us to spend. For example, in 2014, the Athletic, Property and Budget and Finance committees considered capital requests totaling over $14 million. Over $7.4 million for projects was cut from the budget to meet available funds of $6.7 million for the year.

Deferring individual projects is a challenging task, as each constituency feels its proposed project should be given high priority.

The club recently has implemented several management tools and policy changes to help with the challenge of annual capital budgeting. The 2008 Reserve Study identified 573 items valued over $5,000, assigning each a replacement date and expense. The Facilities Department recently has completed

the Facility Life Cycle Model and updated its eMaint system, which now combines asset management and maintenance scheduling into one computerized system. The eMaint system now tracks 1,230 items valued over $2,500, providing a highly refined budgetary tool to help manage club facilities. This comprehensive model provides the ability to more accurately forecast and coordinate the timing of replacement items The club adopted a Major Capital Projects policy in 2014 that will assist the budgeting process and the planning and completion of complex projects like the kitchen/ballroom remodel. This project initially was slated for construction last summer, but the scope and budget had ballooned to such a level that the project was put on hold at a February joint meeting of the Property and Budget Finance committees. Up to this point, planning and budgeting were accomplished one year, followed by design completion and construction the next. It became clear that two years was no longer adequate to plan, design and build the increasingly complex projects that MAC was attempting.

The ad hoc Property Utilization Committee and Facility Master Plan identified nearly two-dozen projects for future consideration that were collected in “the hopper.”

Last May, the board selected three of these to pursue: the kitchen/ballroom remodel in 2015; the third- and fourth-floor remodel in 2016; and the Exercise and Conditioning remodel in 2017. The third and fourth floor remodel provide additional activity space and relocate existing athletic offices, providing more room for active workout space in the reconfigured E&C space. The board will begin the process this month to pull the next project from the hopper for construction in 2018. Funding realities mean that many of the remaining projects are unlikely to be completed, but we now have a well-defined list of viable projects to consider as funding allows.

The Major Capital Project process follows a highly structured flow chart with numerous checks and balances throughout the planning and design process. By the time construction is authorized, MAC staff, major committees, contractors and the individual ad hoc member committee assigned to shepherd each project will have a very high level of confidence that the project will come in on time, on budget and within scope.

The process and policies guiding MAC capital spending have consistently evolved and improved in an effort to spend member dollars as wisely as possible to continue to maintain and improve our wonderful club.

hat is the hardest job you ever had? I have had many difficult jobs.

Raising children can be the most challenging and rewarding job anyone can proudly hold. Great mothers and fathers partner in these relationships. It Norm Rich is our job as a mom or General Manager dad to help our children grow into something meaningful, to give them purpose and to show them the way. We celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10. One day, in my opinion, is not enough appreciation for all the work moms do each and every year. Motherhood is not financially compensated; however, I cannot think of better compensation than through a family’s love and appreciation. Watching children mature and endure for a lifetime is a wonderful payback. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once said, “If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.” Another quote I read with meaning is, “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.”

A meaningful gift from my wife to our son one year was a baseball that said “You are always safe at home.” A young boy once said to his mother, “How old were you when I was born?” His mother said that she was 23.

“Wow, that’s a lot of time we missed spending together,” the boy replied.

The bonds between mothers and children can be stronger than steel, harder than diamonds, and more meaningful than anything else imaginable.

New MAC Scholar Athletes MAC has a Scholar Athlete Program to honor an outstanding sophomore from 28 Portland area high schools. This year, the club added La Salle Prep and West Linn to the program. On Monday, May 11, the award winners receive courtesy MAC membership privileges throughout their high school tenure, and receive a $1,500 scholarship to be paid to the college or university of their choice. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation awards these scholarships. Congratulations to the winners; we look forward to welcoming these new members. A biography of each athlete’s accomplishments will be shared in the June Winged M.

Culinary improvements We are extremely proud of our food and beverage accomplishments over the past few years. We enjoy a nationally recognized chef and team of professionals second to none.

Executive Chef Philippe Boulot is a James Beard Award winner and a French Master Chef. Our restaurants are busy serving our membership with excellent quality food and beverages. We have some of the finest wines imaginable from the best winemakers in Oregon and California and a master mixologist willing to make anything and everything. We strive to make service a highlight of your experience. I want to recognize all our food and beverage employees for their great work.

As most of you know, we are closing our main kitchen and Grand Ballroom in late May until the middle of September to renovate them. This is complicated work that will entail double shifts by the contractor to complete the job on time. When finished, we believe we will have enhanced catering opportunities and one of the finest ballrooms in the Northwest. Celebrate a great dining experience prior to closing Friday, May 22.

You can enjoy your complimentary dinner since summer birthday certificates were mailed ahead of time. Traditionally, if you wanted to invite guests to dinner the check would go to you. You can bring in guests and have your guest pay by credit card if they insist on paying.

Meet the directors In order for you to better get to know some of our staff directors, I have asked them to introduce themselves to you by writing a Manager’s Column each quarter. Next month, I have asked Assistant General Manager and Chief Financial Officer Tim Arbogast to write the column. Look for more guest columns by directors throughout the year.

I want to close this column with a deep sense of appreciation to all the mothers and grandmothers for their dedication to their families. Their investment in family is remarkable and meaningful. While moms have the ability to balance many children in different directions all at once, I also want to acknowledge moms who work full or parttime, as their plates are even fuller. You are appreciated, even if your children do not always say thank you. Enjoy your celebration surrounded by family and friends. Happy Mother’s Month! WM

Honoring MAC members for placing first, second or third in state, regional, national or international athletic competitions, or members who have qualified for nationals in events that qualify for championship funding.

portsmanship, it’s a word we hear and use a lot. It’s part of our Athletic Code of Conduct at MAC. It is something we try to instill in our youth, and often argue is one of the valuable lessons sport teaches.

Given a number of Ed Stoner recent incidents in the Athletic Director sports world, it got me wondering whether sportsmanship is built by or simply revealed through participation in sports.

Sportsmanship is defined as “the character, practice or skill of a sportsman.

Sportsmanlike conduct, as in fairness, courtesy, being a cheerful loser, etc.” If it is just character, then it would be something revealed, yet the definition given also notes it as a practice and skill. That would indicate it is something that is learned, coached and can be nurtured and improved upon. So when numerous Kentucky basketball players left the court after a bitter loss in the NCAA Tournament without participating in the post-game handshake, or made inappropriate comments in the post-game press conference, are these acts of poor sportsmanship to be seen as character flaws, evidence of poor coaching, or simply another teachable moment for learning and improving a skill?

I can certainly attest that “being a cheerful loser” is not something at which I am particularly good, although I do acknowledge my opponent’s victory as gracefully as possible; which upon reflection is something my parents, coaches, teachers, etc., all seemed to demand of me and reinforce when I started to stray, helping me practice and build that skill.

In a closely related topic, several members have mentioned their concern about members’ manners and those of their children around the club. They horse around in the locker room and aren’t considerate of others in athletic spaces. They don’t clean up after themselves in the restaurants, etc.

With this in mind, I believe sportsmanship and manners are muscles; ones that when challenged and used grow stronger, and with proper coaching, guidance and training, become a natural part of one’s character.

I hope to see you around the club this May, exhibiting and building your manners and sportsmanship skills, as well as helping those around you do so as well. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC’s Golden Masters Basketball Team won its fourth consecutive National Association of Club Athletic Directors championship in April at St. Louis University. MAC beat Washington Athletic Club in the finals after going 3-0 in pool play. Winning team members are, from left, Jim DeWeese, Joe Schlector, Al Jochim, Randy Krichvesky, Coach Bill Luettgerodt, Dave Saxe, Doug Kintzinger, Steve Nice, Bill Patton and Chuck Katter.

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

New MAC Scholar Athlete Aleah Goodman helped lead La Salle Prep to the Oregon State Athletics Association Class 5A girls state championship and earned Girls 5A Player of the Year honors. Goodman scored 27 points in the March championship game against Hermiston, which the Falcons won 51-46. She made 8 of 15 shots from the field and went 9 for 10 on free throws. Goodman is one of the few sophomores to win Player of the Year honors, and was joined on the all-state team by her sister, Tori. Goodman led the Falcons in both points and assists, and coaches credit her defensive toughness with helping LaSalle to win a state championship.

New Aquatics Manager Jason Amos moved into his mezzanine-level office in April. Amos comes to MAC with a long background in aquatics – he grew up swimming competitively – and has been living in Portland for nearly seven years.

He now considers the Pacific Northwest home, although the majority of his family still resides in New England. He is newly engaged and loves spending as much time with family and friends as he can. His pastimes include hiking, travel, camping, photography and adventures with his golden retriever, Jake.

Amos is extremely excited to begin this new chapter of his professional life with MAC.

Elizabeth Wiita won the Athlete of the Year award at West Zone Championship in Sacramento, California in March. This award is given to an inspirational swimmer. Wiita earned a nomination for her great attitude when helping our younger swimmers in the water and on land with skills, and demonstrating for them. “She always helps with her big smile on and she truly is the role model for them,” says MAC Synchro Head Coach Lucie Svrcinova.

“All girls on the synchro team look up to Elli.”

Wiita was nominated for the Olympic training squad. She also represented the U.S. several times in the past on 13-15 and Junior National Teams.

MAC Scholar Athlete Gigi Stoll, a senior at Beaverton High School, was named to the Class 6A girls basketball allstate first team for 201415. Stoll also was named the Metro League Player of the Year, helping Beaverton finish fourth in the OSAA 6A playoffs in March. Just a few weeks after her basketball season ended, Stoll was back on the golf course, where she qualified for the inaugural USGA’s U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championships at Bandon Dunes this month. Stoll and her partner, Danielle Lee of La Mirada, Calif., shot a 68 during a tournament in Santa Cruz, Calif., to qualify for the 64-team event. Stoll will play golf at the University of Arizona next year.

May 2015

Athletic member Andrea Percic was named to the USA Synchro 13-15 National team in April.

Percic started swimming for MAC Synchro in 2013, and improved so much during her first year that she made the finals in the solo competition at U.S. age group championships last June.

Percic tried out for the 13-15 national team in 2014 and finished 20th, missing the team by only few spots. She made it her goal for this year to make the team, and finished fourth in phase 1 tryouts and seventh in phase 2 for a combined fifth place among competitors – the top 12 make the team.

This 13-15 team will represent U.S.A. at the UANA Pan American games in Calgary, Canada at the end of August.

Get Ready for a Stellar Summer W

e’re planning for an incredible summer at the club. We have created a selection of new dining options and menu items for the summer months as we prepare for the closure of the Men’s Bar and main kitchen on Friday, May 22. Though the Grand Ballroom and 26 Founders will be closed, all of the second floor banquet rooms and the Stadium Terrace will be in full swing for catering events featuring fresh summer menus.

Cameron Some members have gotten the impresMcMurry sion that food operations in catering are food and beverage shutting down over the summer – this is not director the case! Catering features great summer items such as Asian barbecue salmon salad, grilled filet of beef with prawns, or a barbecue cookout buffet on the Stadium Terrace. MAC’s catering team can meet your needs for breakfast, lunch or dinner. To learn more, call 503-517-6600.

Restaurant options Restaurant dining in Joe’s and the Sports Pub remain in full force over the summer. Stop by Joe’s for a fresh, seasonal and easyto-grab prepared salad, a smoothie or your favorite made-to-order sandwich. The Sports Pub continues to offer 17 draft beers or your favorite cocktails, as well as items that support the MAC Wellness program, through an ever-changing, diverse menu. In addition,

the Sports Pub menu will feature some Men’s Bar favorites this summer, so be sure to come in often to taste the new additions.

The pub will be the go-to spot for every Timbers or Thorns game; don’t miss out on the action.

A new and improved Splash on the Sun Deck returns this summer. Splash version 2.0 will have more variety and a great destination feel. There will be a kitchen and bar on the Sun Deck, and the Splash menu will feature composed salads, burgers, rotisserie chicken tacos and weekly specials. There will be drink specials for all ages. Splash will be open seven days a week from noon-7 p.m., weather permitting. Check pool schedules at theMAC.com for open swim times, or look for a detailed listing of times in the June Winged M. Splash will be on when the weather forecast the day prior calls for temperatures to be 70 degrees with no precipitation.

A portion of the Sun Deck will be transformed into the Sunset Bistro, from 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, weather permitting. The Sunset Bistro features handmade specialty cocktails by your favorite Men’s Bar bartenders. The menu will have great summer items to share while lounging on couches in the adultsonly bar area. In addition, there will be upscale dining with rotisserie items including: a whole chicken for a family meal, prime rib, fire-roasted sweet corn, roasted asparagus or king salmon.

The Sunset Bistro fills any void that the temporary closure of MACtinis and the Men’s Bar created. On select evenings live music and dinner specials will be featured throughout the summer. The Sunset Bistro follows the same guidelines for opening as Splash.

Don’t miss all that your club has to offer this summer. WM

Men’s Bar Celebrates the Resurgence of Rye

F

or most of my drinking life, rye whiskey seemed like tough-guy stuff. Why would I replace my everyday Irish whiskey with rye?

Why trade the bourbon in my Manhattan for another brown American spirit? For the same reason, it turns out, that I want that pastrami on rye instead of on white — the flavor of the grain.

While bourbon must include at least 51 percent corn, American rye whiskey must contain no less than 51 percent rye. The resulting dryness and earthiness, that spice and faint sourness are irresistible to me, as is rye’s wonderful chewiness. These flavors inspired the creation of some of the most regal cocktails in mixology, such as the Sazerac and the Manhattan. Ten years ago, only a small handful of rye whiskeys existed, but thanks to a growing interest in bourbon and other whiskeys, bartenders are increasingly seeking out the lost flavor of rye.

This quest for rye led the Men’s Bar team to Indio Spirits, where we were looking for the next entry into the Brown Bottle Society’s single-barrel program. Owned by MAC member Bob Turner, Indio Spirits produces great products, including James Oliver Rye. Our team was tasked with the responsibility of tasting four different barrels, all of which had unique aging qualities. After

The Men’s Bar team selects the barrel of rye whiskey bottled exclusively for the Brown Bottle Society. The bottle is available starting May 1. many rounds of tasting and a heated debate, the team decided on a 95 percent rye distillate that was aged for 25 months in a cored out, charred, ex-Bordeaux barrel. This differs from the new American oak barrels other bourbons and rye whiskeys are aged in. The Bordeaux barrel was seasoned for 18 months, imprinting unparalleled flavor and aroma on the whiskey as it aged.

This exclusive James Oliver Rye is available in the Men’s Bar and the Sports Pub starting Friday, May 1. If you wish to purchase a bottle, 10th Avenue Liquor Store is selling

them exclusively to MAC members Please bring proof of membership with purchase.

Finally, if you want to become an Elite Member of the Brown Bottle Society, please contact any member of the Men’s Bar team.

This new program rewards members for venturing into new whiskeys, and members get 10 percent off all whiskey, your name on the Brown Bottle Society plaque and a complimentary cocktail and tasting on the first Saturday of every month.

ADMINISTRATIVE

In Memoriam Elizabeth (Carpenter) Lindsay March 9, 1922-Feb. 8, 2015 Elizabeth (Carpenter) Lindsay died Feb. 8. She was 92.

Born in Boston, the daughter of Niles and Edith Carpenter, Elizabeth, or Betty, as she became known, grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., the daughter of a university dean who also was an Episcopal minister. She attended the Park Preparatory School and spent long summers with her younger sister, Cary, in the lush farmlands of Western New York in the tiny hamlet of Pike.

Betty attended Oberlin College and, after graduation in 1943, moved to Brooklyn, where she worked for Life magazine. She met her future husband, Dennis Lindsay, at Trinity House, a boarding house for single Episcopalians. They married Nov. 11, 1944, in Manhattan. After the birth of their first child, Betsy, they moved West and settled in Portland in 1948, where Betty immediately volunteered with the relief efforts for the Vanport flood.

In 1955, the couple bought a large ramshackle house in Dunthorpe, fixed it up, and raised their four children. In the 1960s, Betty served on the Riverdale School Board and pursued a Master of Arts in teaching at Reed College. After teaching English and humanities at Marshall High School for decades, she retired in 1987. Further volunteer work included the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Portland Center Stage.

Betty loved to travel, especially to Scotland, England, Italy, Hawaii and to her little bungalow in Cannon Beach. She loved books, theater, art, the Unitarian church, her family and many friends.

She is survived by her children, Elizabeth “Betsy” Slaughter (Charlie), James N. Lindsay (Anne Churchill), Patsy Lindsay (Bob McGowen) and Susan Lindsay; grandchildren, Alika, Heidi, Jimmy and Andrew; and greatgrandchildren, Eleni and George.

Remembrances in her name would be most welcomed to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

William K. Pearson March 17, 1951-Feb. 17, 2015 William K. Pearson died peacefully at home after a five-year battle with prostate cancer. He was 63.

Born to Maxine and Jack Pearson in Oakland, Calif., he lived most of his life in the Portland area. He graduated from Lake Oswego High School in 1969.

Bill entered the pre-press printing industry by joining Hicks-Chatten Engraving, eventually becoming general manager. During his 40-year graphic arts career, he worked for

RONO and most recently, Color Technology.

Bill loved life and had a great sense of humor and many, many friends. He loved barbecuing, crabbing, Costco, and was famous for his “Billtinis.”

He is survived by his wife, Jacelen; children, Lindsey, Andrew and Tim; and brothers, Tom and Drew. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Gwen Miller.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity in Bill’s name.

Wimberly McRae Warren Feb. 14, 1949-April 8, 2015 Senior family member Wimberly McRae Warren, know to many as Wink, died April 8 of a sudden heart attack. He was 66.

Active throughout life in both sports and business, Wink enjoyed life enormously. He was born in Missoula, Montana, the second of five children to Carol and Cameron Warren, and fondly remembered his days growing up in the small university town where lively antics were around every corner. He enjoyed pushing limits – fodder for many amusing and hairraising stories – throughout his life. Though he found it particularly difficult to leave his Montana childhood friends at age 13 when his family moved to Portland, he fostered many new relationships in Oregon that would last a lifetime. Wink made life fun for others.

After attending Bridlemile Elementary School, he spent his high school years at Woodrow Wilson where he demonstrated a wide range of athletic abilities, from football to trampoline, a sport in which he won a city championship. He attended both the University of Oregon and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. After college, his working life began in sales and later as a real estate broker for Norris, Beggs and Simpson. Then he founded Warren Properties to broker and manage commercial projects for Three Oaks Development Co. He continued to be involved in real estate ventures until his death. An active member of MAC, he played racquetball and won several club championships. His favorite sport, though, was golf; he had a deep love and respect for the game and all it offers.

Wink married Christine Slorah of Kirkland, Washington in 1972. For a few years, he and Chris traveled together as representatives of Recreation Industries, selling automatic boat loaders. Wink’s warm and friendly nature made sales easy for him. They lived first in Bend, then settled long term in Southwest Portland, where they raised two children, a daughter, Erin, and son, Micah. A loving and involved father, whether teaching his children to swim or playing ball in the yard, the simple joy of spending time together seemed to fill his heart. The Continued on page 18

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 17 loss of his daughter to cancer at age 4 devastated him. But in time, fueled by gratitude for his son and wife, his spirit rebounded.

After semi-retiring in 2000, he relished spending more time with friends, took up wood-carving, mentored his son in business development, and enjoyed traveling with Chris in their motorhome as they toured the country while participating in art shows. Last year, they witnessed the marriage of his son, and just 18 days before his death, the birth of their first grandchild.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Lois Carol and Cameron James Warren, his daughter Erin, and his father-in-law, Ray Slorah.

veryone has an ugly sweater. But poor taste in clothing usually isn’t the province of 20and 30-somethings – unless they have a great sense of humor.

Those at MAC sure do. With their inaugural Ugly Sweater Soirée last year, they turned the fashion faux pas into a point of pride rather then shame.

“No one gets tired of ugly sweater parties!” says 20s/30s Committee Secretary Emily Owens, 23, an administrative coordinator for the OHSU Foundation’s Knight Cancer Institute.

Formed three years ago at the behest of a charge from the Board of Trustees, the 20s/30s Committee is getting its sea legs. “Our most widely attended events have happened within the last year, and I expect it to become bigger and bigger,” says Kyle Goulard, 30, the first chair of the committee.

Which is great timing for this group and the overall longterm health of the club.

“These members are our future,” says MAC General Manager Norm Rich. “We want to always give them reasons to be members. We want to create activities, classes, and programs to support this membership.”

In a 2011 evaluation of the club, the Board of Trustees recognized MAC had to more actively engage and grow a certain demographic. Let’s call it the same group represented in The Big Bang Theory.

Photo booth snaps, above, from the Ugly Sweater Soirée. Kyle Goulard, left, was the first chair of the 20s/30s Committee.

The Tequila and Tapas event, opposite, featured a sampling of tequilas presented by local spirit expert Hoke Harden. the 2011 Board Charge Report that “Currently, there are few events planned for this (20s and 30s) demographic.” The Member Events Committee tasked a subcommittee with forming a new committee to represent the group.

“The success of such a committee depends upon recruiting a group of dynamic young members to plan and promote social events and activities that their peer group will find attractive,” the report says.

As 2012 began, a new group of vibrant, post-college young adults dove in to make good on the report’s findings and recommendations. Goulard was first to serve at its helm.

“There was a missing voice for this segment of the member population,” reflects Goulard, 30, a lifetime MAC member and corporate retirement plan consultant. Like many in his age bracket, he says, “I would come to the club to work out, but that was all I knew.”

Current chair Elizabeth Mitsky, 33, has experienced MAC membership both as a Portlander and as an out-of-towner.

“We are the next generation to start families and grow old with the club,” she points out. “The 20s/30s group allows people to build relationships at the MAC during this stage in life where we are starting or building a career, looking to establish roots in Portland, dating or thinking of starting a family.”

Goulard says that upon convening a group of like-minded peers, “I was blown away by the amount of member support and energy behind our work.”

Initial obstacles The committee’s work centered around two main challenges.

Young-adult members who didn’t grow up at the club often are uncertain how to get actively involved at MAC. And while 20- and 30-somethings may share a decade, they don’t necessarily share a stage in life.

MAC’s young adults represent many groups, including singles, newlyweds,

Continued on page 23 May 2015

t o u YMovemhent Continued from page 20 parents, and members new to living on their own, as well as new to club membership itself.

To that end, many of the group’s soirées have met a diversity of needs and desires, Mitsky explains.

“Our group is successful in planning both small and large events – whether it be a large holiday party or a small wine event at an off-site winemaking facility,” she says. “Our events welcome anyone to join, and we provide opportunities for relationships to form, such as via trivia-type games during events or photo-booth craziness.”

Of course, they don’t nail it every time.

Cigars and Scotch was a relaxing summer evening event in the Sun Deck Tent with live music.

During the group’s first two years, they scored hits with two events – Cocktails on the Courts and Tubes & Brews – which were creative, fun, and very well-attended. So the Committee leaned on the adage, often popular at MAC, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” They learned the hard way that redundancy is a turnoff for their age group.

“Granted, the timing of and weather definitely played into their cancelation,” explains Owens, who’s been a club member for 15 years. “But perhaps the repetition that we thought had been a good thing had been repeated one too many times, and to the exact same people.”

Sometimes for this group, it’s a matter of messaging, says Goulard.

“Only after members realized that this isn’t a singles group, and that husbands and wives, significant others and singles, too, attend our events and have fun together, our successes really took off,” he says.

Finding Success How did the committee and its active members breed success?

In part through social media.

“Marketing is key,” says Charles (Chase) McPherson, 29, a commercial real estate principle broker and MAC member since 2011.

He’s also last years 20s/30s Committee’s chair.

“Our best events have been pushed hard through emails and The Winged M, but also through social media, which we are putting more of an effort toward,” McPherson says. “When people start to recognize other members that are going to events, they tend to go, as well. This age group is focused on work, so getting them

to commit is very difficult; we need to keep events in their view all the way until the end.”

Goulard adds that putting into place group members’ feedback – such as working young parents’ need to explore childcare options – engenders not only greater participation but a sense of loyalty. And he and his involved peers urge members to get involved, show up – and then show up again and again.

“Without members, the events don’t take place and the value is lost,” he says.

Owens agrees: “Easily the biggest challenge we face is trying to get the attention of the right age group to want to attend social events at MAC,” she says. “Those of us who are involved have chosen to do so because we know how much fun MAC events have the potential to be, but trying to convince others can be difficult.” WM

Brew to Bikes: Portland’s Artisan Economy 6:30-8 p.m., Tuesday, June 23 In Brew to Bikes: Portland’s Artisan Economy, Charles Heying describes how the transformation from an industrial to a postindustrial economy is being articulated in the trend-setting edges of Portland’s artisan production. Brew to Bikes is about everything from bike manufacturers to microbreweries, from indie media to DIY crafts. The presentation integrates a traditional artisan worldview with new insights about the role of cultural industries in urban development, a new moral orientation to sustainability, and the paradoxical emergence of local distinctiveness in a global economy.

Heying is an associate professor of the School of Urban Studies and Planning at Portland State University.

Choose Between Two Great Trips MAC offers the adventurous traveler a chance to see Cuba or venture to Portugal and northern Spain

J

oin MAC members for an unforgettable food, wine and art sojourn across Portugal and northern Spain this September.

Be mesmerized by fado music in the oldest districts of Lisbon and inspired by ethereal Gothic churches and architectural wonders both old and new. Visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao – the museum that changed world opinion of museums – and sample the fine wine of La Rioja and the delicious fortified port of Oporto, all with the expert guidance of MG Expeditions’ Alessandra Gardino, who splits her time between Portland and Europe.

Pay a visit to mysterious Fatima and the famed Piazza Mayor of Leon, and take a soulful stroll at Santiago de Compostela. Explore a castle built by King Ferdinand II for his friends, and wander through the garden that moved Richard Strauss to tears. Stop by Lello, one of the oldest bookshops in Portugal and the inspiration for Harry Potter’s library in Hogwarts. Visit the romantic “rias” (deep, wide inlets) of Basque country. Succumb to romantic San Sebastian or the quaint seaside village of Santander; the list goes on. And if this culture-packed 13-day itinerary isn’t enough for you, consider a four-day extension to bustling Barcelona and majestic Madrid.

Experience Cuba!

Multnomah Athletic Club presents Experience Cuba!, an educational and cultural “people to people” program from Wednesday, Oct. 28, through Thursday, Nov. 5. This is an

exciting and exclusive international travel opportunity for MAC members and their guests. Discover the history, art, dance and music of this culturally rich land on a cultural exploration of the isle of Cuba. Stroll through the plazas of Old Havana, visit colonial villages on Cuba’s south coast, and enjoy the music and dance of this once-forbidden island nation.

This Experience Cuba! program is sponsored by MAC and Montgomery & Gardino Expeditions. We have been issued a specific license by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which authorizes registered guests of the program to visit Cuba legally. There are no applications to complete, and your travel is fully authorized.

After a pre-night in Miami, this unique cultural exploration flies to Havana, where travelers meet their bilingual tour guide and revel in the culture of Cuba’s capital city. Experience its fascinating people and culture during visits to museums, historic churches, markets and more. The program also takes travelers to the city of Trinidad, one of four World Heritage Sites visited and one of the oldest western cities founded by the Spanish. In between, members visit Pinar del Rio, tour a cigar factory, learn salsa dancing from locals, see Ernest Hemingway’s Finca La Vigia farm, where he lived for two decades, and much more.

Doing what I love, thanks to OHSU.

I injured my back when I was 27. Off and on, I endured extraordinary pain. Then I discovered the OHSU Spine Center. The difference was in their team approach: They made me feel welcome, listened, provided options and empowered me with the tools to take control of the pain myself. OHSU gave me the chance to take back my life, without surgery or medication. And now, look what I’m able to do: What I love. That’s what life’s all about.

Join the Balladeers for one of their many performances planned this spring.

Balladeers

Singers Prep for a Busy Spring Season With the year’s big performance for the club and friends behind them, the Balladeers headed into their busiest period of 2015 with the possibility of performances every week until the end of May. The Roger Doyle Memorial Concert in April was a huge success and one of the ensemble’s most entertaining to date. It featured baritone Adrian Rosales and Pacific University’s Splendid Audacity a cappella group, along with a raft of new music from the Balladeers.

“We’ve spent most of the year getting our new music up to performance quality and now we’re going to take it on the road,” said second year Balladeer Director Scott Tuomi, who also is director of choral music at Pacific University.

Beginning in late April, the 30-plus member MAC men’s choir has scheduled a number of performances, including a return visit to St. Mary’s Home for Boys, a Veterans Administration facility in Vancouver, Wash., and another return performance at the Mirabella in Portland’s South Waterfront District, as well as some others in the works.

“Part of the Balladeers’ mission is to represent the club in a positive manner throughout the community. With the improvements we made in terms of our sound, I think the club can be proud of this community contribution,” Tuomi said.

Male members interested in contributing to a moving musical experience should drop in on a Balladeers rehearsal at

7:15 p.m. Thursdays in the third-floor Activities Classroom. Call Mandy Beasley at 503-517-7272 for more information.

Lives Intersect in All the Light We Cannot See In May, the Evening Readers meet to discuss All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. This novel pursues the stories of two young people whose lives ultimately intersect. The first is the heroine, Marie Laure LeBlanc, a blind girl growing up in France during the period preceding World War II. The second story focuses on Werner Pfennig, a talented but poor boy in Germany during the same time period.

As the war erupts and progresses, these two characters are drawn together. In a readable and lyrical style, the novel explores the choices of the main characters, as well as such themes as self-protection and deception. The novel has received widespread critical accolades and spent many weeks on bestseller lists.

Athletics Water Safety Tips for Summer As we approach the sunny days of summer, it is important to keep water safety in mind as we try to find relief from the heat in neighborhood pools, lakes, rivers and the ocean.

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1 through 5 in the U.S.? Through education and awareness, the aquatics industry hopes to eradicate this preventable tragedy. The most important thing parents can do is be vigilant about watching their children in and around water, not only outdoors, but in bathtubs, around home pools, and in community pools as well.

Here are some tips for staying safe: • Register your children for swimming lessons at a young age and continue until they’ve completed the program. For parents and adults who don’t know how to swim, enroll in adult swimming lessons as well.

• Always have nonswimmers in U.S. Coast Guard-approved and properly fitted life jackets.

Those wearing life jackets should always be within arm’s reach of a responsible adult over the age of 18.

• Parents should always designate a water watcher.

This responsible adult should be in charge of supervising and watching the swimmers in their group while not being distracted by phones, reading materials, or others outside of the water.

The water watcher should be able to swim and, ideally, be CPR-certified.

• Always know and understand the type of water you and your kids are swimming in. Water in lakes, streams and the ocean acts very differently and poses different risks than the calm, clear waters of a pool.

Do More for Your Core New CoreAlign machines help build strength and stamina without the impact

A

s you peer into the Pilates Studio on your way from the locker room to the weight room, you may notice a couple of intriguing new pieces of equipment. The Pilates department introduced a revolutionary new apparatus to the studio this past fall. The CoreAlign is made up of two tracks and carts that lie perpendicular to a ladder mounted on the wall, creating a unique training tool that emphasizes a functional upright posture. CoreAlign exercises improve strength, balance and functional movement, creating a wonderful addition to the Pilates Studio. The workouts bring variety and versatility, providing hundreds of completely new exercise movements.

The CoreAlign was developed by physical therapist Jonathan Hoffman, who believes the body functions and heals most effectively when movements are anatomically sound and balanced. Standing upright on the carts, it is possible to move with resistance in either direction. The carts move

The small stabilizer muscles that are often ignored in strength workouts are fundamentally important to rehab and to prevent further injuries.

Pilates. While the CoreAlign is appropriate for almost anyone, it has proven instrumental in rehab, offering a new solution for clients with injuries. It offers the ability to move the legs in the same way we walk and run, while strengthening and stretching the weak stabilizer muscles. The small stabilizer muscles that are often ignored in strength workouts are fundamentally important to rehab and to prevent further injuries.

Member Molly Matson began taking private sessions with Pilates trainer Mandee Pearson in August 2013. She came into the studio suffering with pain from plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain. Because the pain worsens with weight-bearing activities on the feet, the condition was prohibiting Matson from doing her typical workouts. She immediately fell in love with Pilates, not only for the rehabilitative exercises and deep stretches that helped to heal her ailment, but because of the low-impact exercises that toned her entire body without irritating her feet.

When the CoreAlign was brought into the MAC Pilates studio in September 2014, Matson was one of the first members to begin using it. The new equipment complemented her existing Pilates practice, emphasizing balance, strength, a strong core and flexibility. Flexibility can prevent muscle tension that leads to aches, pains and injuries, while a strong core is a functional necessity that has been a building block to healing her feet.

What’s the Buzz About the MELT Method?

Have you seen the recent media coverage regarding the MELT Method and how it can help a person reduce chronic pain? Simply put, MELT is not exercise. It is not a diet.

MELT is a 10-minute-a-day self-care tool that makes your body feel better. MELT helps restore neurological balance, joint stability and efficiency of movement. MELT helps catch the common imbalances in the body and addresses stuck stress or connective tissue dehydration that leads to chronic pain.

MAC Pilates trainer Sandy McQueen has been teaching MELT classes, private personal trainings and series workshops for the past three years. Classes include:

NW Heights Traditional with Views

Portland Heights Victorian

SW Rivington Condo Alternative

Lakota Land and Architectural Plans

Weekly sessions: 8 a.m. Wednesday and Friday in Studio Three; 7 a.m. Thursday in Studio One Upcoming Workshop: McQueen teams up with naturopath Dr. Lindsey Nelson for an Anti-Aging Workshop on May 24. See page 49 for details.

Contact McQueen at 503-223-6251 ext. 852 or smcqueen@themac.com with questions.

“Pilates and CoreAlign quickly became essential parts of my life. Not only have they drastically helped with my plantar fasciitis rehab, but they also saved my sanity when I wasn’t able to run or do any of my go-to weight-bearing exercises. Now, if my plantar fascia are irritated, I do a specific chain of exercises on the CoreAlign that Mandee showed me and my feet are noticeably relieved,” Matson says.

Beyond those who may experience rehabilitative benefits from the CoreAlign is an opportunity for a new, fun and effective workout. Six MAC Pilates instructors are trained to teach on the CoreAlign. There are opportunities for private and semiprivate sessions, as well as a class in a circuit format.

Digest This: Fixing Food Allergies “One can not think well, love well, or sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf More and more studies have shown that our daily diet has a bigger impact on us than just our waistline. Do you ever eat something that doesn’t agree with you? Maybe you’ve noticed that dairy makes you congested, wheat makes you sleepy, or red wine gives you headaches.

Some people may assume they have a food allergen, but food sensitivities or intolerances could be the culprit. Food intolerances can be caused by overexposure to certain foods, lack of digestive enzymes to help break down that food, cross reactivity to environmental allergens, or reactions to chemicals found in food like additives, sulfites, amines, salicylates, nitrates, MSG, or histamine (to name the top few).

An elimination diet is the most recommended method of determining a sensitivity or intolerance. An ELISA blood test, which looks for antibodies to certain foods, is another option. While this test has many shortcomings, it may provide a first step in uncovering hidden food intolerances.

Have you ever complained of a nervous stomach or had an experience that was gut-wrenching? The digestive system is very sensitive to emotions. There are neurons in your gut similar to the neurons in your brain. These neurons produce neurotransmitters like serotonin (the hormone involved in mood control and depression). In fact, the greatest concentration of serotonin is found in the intestines. Therefore, a troubled gut can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress or depression.

Food gives us pleasure as well as nourishment. Since our GI system plays such a key role in our well-being, it is important that we eat healthy foods, but we must also eat foods that are healthy for our personal GI systems. Although finding out your food sensitivities/intolerances and avoiding the offending foods is the true way to heal your gut, some relief may be found in digestive enzymes and/or probiotics.

If you would like to learn more about appropriate testing and treatment options for common GI issues, please join Lisa Buchmiller and me for a lecture/ practicum called Digest This (see page 49).

HEALTHY RECIPE What’s so great about granola? Granola contains nuts, like almonds, that contain omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for heart health, and the rolled oats are high in fiber. I would pair the granola with fresh berries, which are high in antioxidants, and Greek yogurt, which is high in protein. I encourage choosing yogurt that has probiotics. Eating probiotics regularly can help with digestion.

If the yogurt container states “live and active cultures,” the yogurt has probiotics.

–Tysen Christensen

Granola Makes: 5 cups Serving: 1/4 cup

Ingredients 4 cups rolled oats 1 cup sliced almonds 1 cup chopped pecans 1 cup raw sunflower seeds 1/ 3 cup canola oil ½ cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees 2. In a large bowl, stir oats, nuts and sun-

flower kernels together. In a separate bowl, mix together oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Combine dry and wet ingredients; mix well. Spread evenly on two ungreased baking sheets.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring partway through baking. Remove from oven, and let cool completely before storing. Will stay fresh for about two weeks.

Walking & Hiking

Euro-Style Hiking in the Gorge Discover new trails that are in the works that link gorge towns on both sides of the river

L

earn about new trail options in the Columbia River Gorge when Kevin Gorman, executive director of Friends of the Columbia Gorge, presents a slideshow and talk on the Towns to Trails program at MAC at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 7.

Started in 2012, the program fulfills two goals of the 1992 management plan for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic area: to build a trail system around the gorge and to connect gorge communities by trails. Partners and supporters of Towns to Trails range from the National Park Service to Mazamas to gorge wineries and restaurants.

One major goal of the program is to enhance gorge tourism, such as hotel stays, shopping in historic downtowns, guide services and gear rentals.

Gorman says, “While protection is [Friends’] mandate, if we don’t support and enhance gorge communities, protections can unravel.

Towns to Trails gives people a deeper, broader appreciation of the gorge – it’s not just waterfalls and cliffs.”

The first three planned trail segments are at various stages of completion. For each, Gorman will cover recent land acquisitions, long-range plans and challenges inherent in implementing this concept. The segments are: Washougal to Stevenson: In Washington, a 34-mile trail will connect these towns and points in between: Steigerwald National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Horn, the Pacific Crest Trail and Beacon Rock State Park.

Hood River to The Dalles: In Oregon, a 20-mile trail between these towns will connect them to the Historic Columbia River Highway, the community of Mosier, Mosier Plateau, Tom McCall Preserve, Seven Mile Hill and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center.

May 2015

Lyle Cherry Orchard Loop: In Washington, a six-mile trail will connect Lyle to the top of the 550-acre Cherry Orchard, land owned

by Friends of the Columbia Gorge Land Trust, with potential to connect to more than 1,000 acres owned by the Washington Department of Natural Resources.

Towns to Trails also works to create bus transit from the Portland area to the gorge to alleviate congestion at popular trailheads such as Dog Mountain. Gorge TransLink and other lines provide bus service from Portland to The Dalles, and Skamania County offers summer buses from Vancouver to major trailheads and resorts. All buses accommodate bikes.

Before the talk, you can sign up at gorgefriends.org to discover existing Towns to Trails recreation options via Friends’ Play and Stay weekends, which includes travel packages at various gorge locales.

The Trail of the Gods As of this spring, a short Towns to Trails segment is complete, connecting both sides of the gorge via the Bridge of the Gods. This “Trail of the Gods” blends city sidewalks, trails, a little-traveled road around Ash Lake and a thrilling bridge walk or bike ride at the narrowest point in the gorge. Join MAC walkers and hikers Tuesday, May 19, for a six-mile round-trip, no-elevation walk that starts at Skamania Lodge and crosses the bridge into Cascade Locks. Following the hike, have lunch at Thunder Island brewpub, sited above the 1896 stone locks that once provided flat-water passage around the Cascades of the Columbia. See The Journey for details, and RSVP to Laura Foster at lauraobfoster@gmail.com.

Racquetball

Tournament of Champions Starts in May T

he best racquetball players in the world descend on MAC next month for the ProKennex Tournament of Champions presented by Campbell Global, which returns Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, May 17. As always, the tournament features the top eight men pro racquetball players competing for prize money.

This year’s pro draw is highlighted by defending champion and world No. 1 Kane Waselenchuk. The Edmonton native is the most decorated player in the sport’s history. Waselenchuk has dominated the International Racquetball Tour for the past six seasons, including a record 137-match unbeaten stretch that lasted for three years.

During his 15-year run as a pro, he has won 78 tournaments, also an IRT record.

Joining Waselenchuk in the pro draw is MAC’s own Charlie Pratt, who is ranked in the top 10 and is coming off an impressive semifinal showing at the IRT’s New Jersey Open, where he beat the world’s No. 3 ranked player, Alvaro Beltran.

The Tournament of Champions is one of the last stops on the pro tour each season. The tournament is sponsored by ProKennex, Campbell Global, Touchmark, Oregon Sports Authority, Pacific Coast Fruit Co., and Emery & Kerrigan. The in-kind beer sponsor is Breakside Brewing, co-owned by MAC racquetballer Scott Lawrence.

“We are thrilled that we’re able to bring the pros back to MAC for a third straight year,” said Racquetball Committee member Timm Locke, who was instrumental in bringing the tournament back to life. “I have to thank our sponsors for making it happen.

The pros love it here, and rightly so – MAC is one of the best places in the country for a racquetball event. I hope a lot of members come out to see what it’s about.”

Hundreds play in amateur draw In addition to the pro event, there is an amateur draw that features many of the region’s top players, including MAC members Gavin Usher and Lexi York, both recent Joe Loprinzi Award nominees who, along with MAC’s Lindsay Briglia, took home national championships at the National High School Tournament in St. Louis this past February. The Tournament of Champions amateur draw offers competition for players of virtually every level. Last year, more than 30 MAC members were among the nearly 200 amateurs who participated. The Racquetball Committee would love to see that number continue to grow. The amateur draw includes men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles, with multiple ability levels and age groups. Register available at www.r2sports.com/tourney.asp?TID=13157, via the sign-up sheets in the racquetball lounge by courts 7-10 or at theMAC.com through Saturday, May 9.

Ask anyone who played last year – it is a load of fun. The Racquetball Committee hopes to see you there.

Winner-Take-All Women’s Match MAC’s Lexi York, a four-time high school champions and senior at LaSalle (see April Winged M) takes on Ladies Pro Racquetball Tour player Lucia Gonzalez in a winner-take-all match on Saturday night, right before the men’s pro finals. Gonzalez is currently the No. 17-ranked player in the world. She hails from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, but currently attends the University of Texas El Paso. York will be joining the LPRT after graduating from high school. For a complete schedule and the final men’s pro draw, visit the racquetball page at themac.com. WM

Athletics Three Decades of World’s Best The Tournament of Champions is not just the largest racquetball competition in the Northwest, it’s also the one with the richest tradition. Many of the pros who will face off at the competition in May weren’t alive when it started in 1987.

The tournament began as part of the longrunning Rose Festival Racquetball tournament, an annual event in Portland. In 1987, Racquetball Pro Hank Marcus and the Racquetball Committee created a single-match, winner-take-all competition between the world’s two best players, Marty Hogan and Mike Yellen. The winner-take-all format lasted four years before the tournament expanded to the current competition, with the best eight pros from the International Racquetball Tour facing off at MAC. The tournament has hosted some of the best racquetball players of all time. Hogan is credited with bringing more power to the game. He was the first player whose serve was clocked at more than 140 mph, and he won four consecutive world titles from 1979-1981.

“MAC was one of my top three favorite clubs to play at,” Hogan recalls. “Every event was run with the utmost professionalism. I appreciated all the fans that came and supported our great game.”

Racquetball great Cliff Swain owns the most Tournament of Champions titles, winning six between 1990 and 2001. Swain has won the second most tournaments in the history of the IRT, and has won the world title six times.

“MAC is easily in my top five favorite facilities in the world that hosts racquetball events,” Swain says. “Playing the Rose Festival event there was a career highlight!”

Swain was finally surpassed by the reining Tournament of Champions winner, Kane Waselenchuk. The Canadian player has won nine world titles since 2004, only relinquishing the crown during a two-year hiatus in 20072008. Waselenchuk was a child prodigy, hitting the ball with a plastic soda bottle at age 2 because the racquet was too heavy. He didn’t have an official coach until he turned pro, and is credited with changing the game. WM

You also may contact Wellness Coordinator Keri Donovan at 503-517-7539 or visit redcrossblood.org to register.

The drive will take place from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, and from 12:30 p.m.-5 p.m. Thursday, June 11.

One pint of blood can save up to three lives and 5 million patients in the nation. need blood every year. Whether a donation goes to help those suffering from a natural disaster, a routine surgery, or a person involved in a traumatic accident, the American Red Cross thanks donors. If you have questions about the blood donation process, or to see whether you are eligible, please log on to redcrossblood.org.

The Early Birds celebrate Cinco de Mayo early with Mexican treats and music at Waterfront Park on Friday, May 1. The celebration takes place by the Salmon Springs Fountain at the foot of Salmon Street.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican army against the bigger and better equipped French army in 1862 – a victory that prevented France from helping the Confederates during the Civil War. The festivities also celebrate Mexican pride and culture. Everyone is welcome to come exercise by the waterfront between 5:45 and 6:45 a.m. and enjoy the holiday food and drinks.

The Early Bird Committee also would like to thank the MAC members who donated to the household goods drive for Community Warehouse. We really appreciate this support for Portland families who are overcoming adversity and setting up new households.

Cycling

Decisions: A Good Ride or A Fine Wine?

My MAC Experience is an occasional column that allows members to share their personal stories about the club. This month, Cycling Committee Member Bill Meyer dishes on how his MAC friends shamed, er, helped him get back on the bike.

I recently spent a year off the bike while we downsized our home and I recovered from an injury. I thought a lot about riding again, but didn’t do much about it. I talked a good game when I would meet my cycling buddies after a ride, but all I really did was enjoy their company and drink their wine. I should have felt guilty drinking their wine, especially after they just completed a century; but hey, I like good pinot, and at least I was exercising my elbow while lifting a glass of wine to my mouth, right?

It took a one-two punch to get me motivated. First, I made a New Year’s resolution to get back into shape. Second, I realized being a member of the Cycling Committee who doesn’t ride is not cool.

My friends on the committee finally shamed me into getting back on the bike. I decided to start with a simple goal: get my bike out of the garage and put on my helmet and gloves. It’s a law of cause and effect – get

the bike out and get ready, and exercise will follow. Or so I thought.

A year of neglect meant two flat tires, and I spent an hour looking for my floor pump.

I called my wife, Sue. “Where’s the pump,” I asked.

“It’s in storage,” she said, “you know that.”

Oh well. I tossed my helmet in the corner and poured a glass of R. Stuart & Co. 2007 Daffodil Hill Pinot, and made a mental note that in addition to bike, helmet and gloves, I needed to have a pump handy.

…when personal motivation isn’t enough, you can rely on your friends at MAC to push you toward your goal.

What can I say – I’ve got a “wine” like a steel trap!

The next weekend brought a beautiful day, so I gave it another try – bike pump, gloves, helmet, and of course, a mind like a steel trap.

Then the phone rings. It’s my mother-in-law.

Saved! I walk to the den across the kitchen floor in my bike shoes.

“What the %$&* are you doing?” my wife yells.

“I’m talking to your mother.”

It’s an instant get-out-of-jail-free card, one deserving of a celebratory glass of Patricia

Athletics Green Cellars 2006 Balcome Pinot. Yes, wine like a steal trap!

I discovered that a get-out-of-jail-free card only goes so far. My wife kept a close eye on my ride plans the next weekend. “What’s the big deal?” she asked. “Get going.”

Here we go again – pump up tires, grab the gloves and helmet, and think, mind like a steel trap. Jump on the bike. Water – I need water! Rats, my wife hands me a water bottle and off I go. Squeak, squeak. What the heck was that? There’s no time to worry.

“Get out of here!” Sue yells.

No matter. I get a flat a block from home.

On closer inspection, the rim is bent, causing the tire to rub and leading to a hole in the tire’s sidewall. I walk back to my scowling wife and select a 2008 Penner Ash Dussin Vineyard Pinot Noir.

I took the bike in for repairs and a tuneup and found that the wheel needed to be replaced. Apparently, someone hit the bike while parking the car in the garage. I must have a fourth kid I don’t know about, because the other three all insisted, “It wasn’t me.”

On the positive side, the trip to the repair shop leaves me with a new Mavic wheel and more commitment than ever to get on the bike. Nonetheless, I manage to spend another two months staring at the new wheel.

Yet another sunny Saturday comes along, and I mention to Sue that it looks like a great day for a ride. The icy stare she shoots back is cold enough to freeze all of the house plants.

But salvation comes with a phone call from a fellow MAC cyclist.

“Meyer, do you want to go on a ride?” he asks.

I sprint to the garage before I can find an excuse to say no, and start my 2015 cycling season with a friend.

I learn two important lessons. First, when personal motivation isn’t enough, you can rely on your friends at MAC to push you toward your goal. Second, check your bike out the day before a ride. You may need to remove a bird’s nest from the spokes.

Improve Swing By Moving More As we all know, golf is a funny game. It is often filled with head-scratching truths (to get the ball to go more to the left I should swing more to the right?). One question that has always perplexed me is the body movement, or lack thereof, that occurs prior to the golf swing for most individuals. Why is it that in other sports there is always a subtle body warm-up movement prior to any full body athletic skill, but not in golf?

For example, in tennis, when receiving a serve, there is usually a rocking of the body from side to side. When batting in baseball, the hitter is usually rocking the bat and moving their body slightly until the pitcher begins his delivery. But in golf, I often see individuals frozen immobile over the ball until they begin their backswing. Why is this common, and is this helpful or harmful?

The answer is that this statue-like performance is not doing your mind or your body any good when it comes to hitting good golf shots. Your body searches for its rhythm prior to the athletic movement of the full swing. Now I understand that rocking

Golf Continued from page 60 which can be difficult to gather in one fluid motion when you are stuck in cement just prior to this movement.

What are some ways to free up prior to each shot? Well, to start with, let’s bring back the classic club waggle! Or what about the rocking of the feet, or even the forward press of the hands to “start” the swing? If you find yourself stiff, stuck or even a little “mental,” these pre-swing moves help free up your body and mind to make the large athletic movement required for a great golf swing.

Having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and getting to the gym? Are you coming up with excuses to skip your workout?

Finding that your workout isn’t giving you results you want anymore? Do you find your workout is more boring than challenging? If so, you’re probably battling workout boredom and need to change up your workout routine.

Here are some easy ways to get you back in the gym, and inspired.

General changes • Your body gets efficient at repetitive tasks, so try to mix it up.

• Find a workout partner to keep you motivated.

• Do a circuit workout, alternating between cardio and weight training.

• Take it outside during the spring and summer.

• Try a new activity or exercise class at MAC.

Cardio changes • Add speed, distance, hills/incline, resistance, or do a different activity.

• Try intervals: Start with a 2:1 ratio. For example, sprint 30 seconds, jog 60 seconds.

Repeat for 20 minutes.

• Wear a heart rate monitor to make sure you are in your target heart rate zone. 220 – your age x 85 percent = minimum heart rate for high-intensity exercise

Change your resistance training • Change the order, selection, weight, tempo, rest interval, etc.

• Do a split routine. Changing from a total body training to split workouts will allow you to do more exercises and focus more on each muscle group. Try alternating upper body and lower body workouts, push and pull exercises, or working opposing muscle groups on different days. Just make sure you balance muscle groups over time.

• Do a super-set workout. This means you do two exercises back-to-back without a rest. You can target the same muscle groups, opposing muscle groups or unrelated muscle groups.

Athletics • Do compound exercises. These target more than one muscle group. For example, squat-curl-press or bent-over-row/triceps press.

• Work with a MAC personal trainer: Use one of MAC’s personal trainers to bring a new twist to your workouts. MAC personal trainers offer many areas of expertise, such as sport-specific training, speed and quickness, Olympic lifts, cross training and conditioning, body-weight training, high-intensity interval training, functional training and more. Schedule an appointment to get a new routine, or set up a regular and consistent appointment with a personal trainer to help keep you in the flow of working out and reaching your fitness goals. Contact Personal Training Coordinator Andy Shupp at 503517-7548 or ashupp@themac.com for more information or to schedule a session with a personal trainer.

A Busy Winter on the Courts

Presented by

It was a busy winter on the squash courts, with several big tournaments, new clinics for adults and juniors, and a vibrant box league.

In February, the hugely successful Oregon Open 2015 brought in top pros from around the world. It was thrilling to watch Australian Ryan Cuskelly, who won the tournament as the fourth seed, speed around the court, defeating higher-ranked and more experienced players with his nimbleness and precision. Squash legend Geoff Hunt, who was at the open coaching a player from Qatar, gave a free clinic to juniors.

The Pacific Coast Doubles Tournament, which drew more than 100 players in eight divisions, was nonstop fun, with a great dinner accompanied by a local band.

Spring will be just as vibrant. The Junior Skill Level Championships, an in-house tournament that always sees fierce play, is held Continued on page 64

Youth Wins the Day During Indoor Triathlon

The MAC Mile starts at 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, May 6, at the Lincoln Track.

Compete in one of several categories, including children’s and relay divisions.

Twenty three members tested their speed through a 200-meter swim, a 10-mile bike, and a 2-mile run on the indoor track during the Indoor Sprint Triathlon in March. Nick Woods, 26, won the overall, and Ava Casalino, 13, won the female overall. Nick had the fastest swim of the day with a 2:42, edging out Ryan Chiotti by just one second 2:43. Jack Casalino, 15, notched an impressive 2-mile run, covering the distance in 12:18, a 6:09 pace, and Ava Casolino ran the fastest for females with a 16:36. David Harding, 55,

May Means MAC Mile at Lincoln Track MAC runners of every age and ability can test their mettle against the clock and their peers at next month’s MAC Mile.

Over the past few years, the Triathlon and Running Committee has expanded the popular event to include six races: the Competitive, Open and All-Comers mile races; the 4x400meter relay; the 400-meter Kids Race and the fan-favorite Kids Dash. The action begins at 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, May 6, at the Lincoln High School track.

The night begins with the Competitive Mile, the fastest of the mile heats. The Open Mile follows, with many more runners of all ages and speeds. The All-Comers Mile is a more recreational race. Last year there were many younger runners, many running with parents. The Kid’s Dash is a memorable first running event for many MAC families.

For children ages 6 and under, this 60-yard scramble makes for a great positive experience on the track. This year marks the first 400-meter Kids Race. Open to boys and girls up to 12 years old, the race showcases some of the rising juniors in the club and gives spectators a good show. The races conclude with the ever-exciting 4x400-meter relay. All of these fun, family-friendly events wrap up in about an hour.

Following the 4x400 relay, awards are given out for overall male and female winners, as well as age group winners. All participants in the Kids’ Dash receive ribbons to mark the accomplishment.

Running Coach Deborah James conducts track workouts with MAC members every Wednesday through the spring. The committee encourages everyone to join, regardless of pace or preparation. Meet in the Turnaround at 6 p.m.

Athletics TriRun Continued from page 65 “The mile distance is a great benchmark for overall fitness,” James says. “Choose a race based on your predicted mile time, and test yourself with this mental and physical challenge.”

Last year began with a tight race between past champion Peter Marks and newcomer Derek Waxman before the latter pulled away to win in 4:51.8. The top-finishing female runner was Eryn Forbes in 6:08.0. Relay winners Ben Cornett, Ben Chaffin, Scott Stevenson and Peter Marks happily took home the commemorative beer mugs. This year the MAC athletic staff will be forming a team and looks forward to competition. The committee is happy to help individuals put together a team.

The run is held in conjunction with MAC’s spring decathlon, which takes place Monday, April 27, through Sunday, May 17. This allows those participating in the decathlon to use the MAC Mile for their official mile time.

Carter O’Sullivan is playing outside hitter for the 12 Red team.

Volleyball

MAC Fields a Co-ed Team Again MAC junior volleyball has a new player this year, Carter O’Sullivan. Carter is the first boy to play on a girls MAC team in several years. MAC is not the only club in the Northwest with a co-ed team. According to

CEVA, junior boys are allowed to play on junior girls teams, provided there is a limit of two boys per team. The only stipulation is that the player must play up one age level.

Carter, a 9-year-old fourth-grader at Cathedral School, tried out last fall and made the 12 Red team. With two summer camps and three months of MAC volleyball classes as his only prior volleyball experience, he is now playing at outside hitter for his team.

His coaches are Rachel Swanson and Lauren Steward, but it was Lea Petock, the 14 Black coach and MAC junior volleyball coordinator, who taught the classes that inspired him to play. Even though Carter has experience playing other sports – he currently plays basketball for his school’s CYO team – he says, “With volleyball, you need to pay attention more than other sports. You need to know how to take responsibility for your actions, and you need to be a team player.” When asked if he enjoyed serving or receiving more, his answer was pretty typical, “Serving!”

Carter says he would like to see more co-ed volleyball, but at the same time says he has made good friends with the girls on his team.

Inside Out

MAC climber Carson Fritz on Evilution in Bishop, Calif.

68 | The W覺nged M |

May 2015

mike rougeux

by Jenn Director Knudsen

Athletics MAC Climbers spend plenty of time honing their skills indoors, but each spring break, they find new challenges outside on trips to marquee climbing spots.

I

f you traced the popularity of climbing along a graph, the last quarter century would produce a pitch steep enough to scale.

It started when the sport moved inside.

Climbing gyms like MAC’s are ubiquitous – the Portland region alone has a dozen – but that wasn’t always the case. The first indoor climbing walls in the U.S. were built in the late ’80s, and didn’t gain widespread popularity for another decade.

Those gyms have opened the climbing world to scores of new participants, from competitive teams to recreational climbers. But in an ironic twist, groups like MAC’s Outdoor Activities Program sometimes find themselves encouraging folks to come inside to scale, belay, top-rope and, yes, even fall, rather than doing all those things outdoors.

MAC Climbing Head Coach Drew White sees the value of practicing and competing indoors, but also looks at the Climbing Gym as a potential

steppingstone toward outdoor climbing preparedness. He just led the club’s fourth spring break camp to Bishop in central California, which he describes as “a world-class bouldering destination.”

“We’re trying to help our climbing population take their gym information out to the crag and the rock,” he says. “Most people who are climbing outside find themselves going to different places in the country to go climbing – places they wouldn’t visit anyway. There’s no reason to go to Bishop unless you’re climbing or skiing. Maybe L.A., but not Bishop.”

Under White’s leadership, MAC’s crew camped, slept in tents, prepared their own food and – as the coach emphasizes – left the sites impeccable to ensure little or no environmental impact.

An Iconic Climb For MAC climber Carson Fritz, the work he put in on MAC’s new indoor bouldering wall paid big dividends over

spring break, when Fritz climbed one of the toughest boulder problems any MAC competitive climber has scaled, Evilution.

The route takes climbers up the sides of a 45-foot boulder, starting with a challenging overhang. Fritz climbed the route to the lip of the boulder, a V10-rated climb.

“I managed to do the first move after only a few tries, and after that it was just a matter of figuring out exactly where to put my hands and feet,” Fritz says of his climb. “We figured out what sequence our hands should go in, and exactly where to place our feet. …After two sessions of effort, I reached the lip of the boulder.

This was the hardest thing I have climbed outside, and easily the most iconic.”

While Fritz has achieved enormous success indoors, he regularly competes at nationals in both bouldering and sport climbing, outdoor climbing is special.

“People who start out in gyms don’t view the sport as a way of exploring nature or summiting a natural feature,” says Fritz, a senior at the Arts & Communications Magnet Academy Instead, they see it as a fun thing to do with their friends after work or on weekends.

Molly Glad has taken lessons from indoor climbing and used them on outdoor trips.

MAC Climbers Continued from page 69 “While I love hanging out with my friends at the gym and climbing the fun routes in there,” he continues, “it can be much more rewarding to go outside and find routes that are just as fun, but they exist naturally on the rock. Outdoor routes aren’t just a bunch of plastic holds screwed into the wall; they were formed without the intention of being climbed.”

Indeed, some of MAC’s outdoor climbers question their intent when climbing a natural structure seemingly bereft of needed holds for their successful ascent.

“Outdoor climbing will always have something that indoor climbing does not: Adventure,” Fritz says. As well as glorious vistas; the extra planning and equipment required; the grit of getting to the site in the first place; the focus needed to avoid dangerous mistakes; and then the euphoria of attaining literally higher and higher goals.

A Family Affair Eleven-year-old Molly Glad also has been on MAC-led outdoor climbing trips.

She has gone both with her family and

her peer group to Smith Rock in central Oregon.

Molly, a very accomplished competitive indoor and fearless outdoor climber, says on the most recent Smith Rock trip, she completed a 20-foot shimmy across the so-called monkey’s mouth, a climb up to its eyes, and then a 200-foot repel to the bottom. This time she also squeezed

…It can be much more rewarding to go outside and find routes that are just as fun… in some leadership experience, helping others who were following along behind her.

“I got the satisfaction of knowing I could lead outside and put up a whole bunch of ropes. I really like climbing,” adds Molly, who spends up to 13 hours a week at her favorite sport, both at the club and at home, where her handyman dad, David Glad, built for his two daughters an indoor climbing gym adjacent to the family’s home.

White says the rigors of climbing – whether inside or out – and its required time commitment lend themselves to his kids’ excellent time-management skills.

And that advantage shows up in their topnotch school performance.

“Even at 11 and 12,” White says, “they have to manage their time well.”

MAC’s von der Heyden family is another group that strengthens their family bonds through climbing trips. “If you’re not on the ground, it usually means you’ve accomplished some sort of task, like climbing up a mountain or a rock,” says Elana von der Heyden, a seventh grader at Oregon Episcopal School. “It’s a very accomplished feeling.”

Elana’s parents, Heike and Eric von der Heyden, agree climbing is a terrific family activity. Even if the elders occasionally get put to shame.

“Elana and I periodically go climbing together” including in Central Oregon, the Grand Teton National Park, and even in Europe, Eric says.

“And sometimes I’ll wait while she does a route that is way out of my league,” such as on a recent scale of a Teton face, he adds. “I quickly learned to swallow my pride when I am being totally outclassed in a sport by my 13-year-old daughter.” WM
