Go ahead, call it a rug. Everyone does, but really it’s more. It sets the mood of a room. It tells people who you are without a word. It whispers to your guests, “We’re glad you came”. Yes, it’s a rug. And much, much more.

’m almost afraid to disclose this new workout opportunity, but recently, my workout included riding in the new spin studio and watching the Timbers home opener. It was a bit cool as the windows were open, but no one was complaining, Carl Burnham III PRESiDENT especially during the exciting final minutes as the Timbers scored two goals to tie the game. Talk about a great workout while almost forgetting about the effort! What a great new venue for the club, although I am nervous that next time, instead of nine to 15 riders, there will be a line for a bike. Which brings up overcrowding, a problem regular MAC users experience from time to time. While annoying, most clubs could only dream of having MAC’s problem. We occasionally have lotteries to allow new members to join to replace those who are no longer members; and existing members’ usage of the club continues to grow. Whether you want a table for dinner or an elliptical machine, you might occasionally have to wait. While this can be irritating, the alternative is much worse, and dues would have to rise to make up for lost revenue. Moreover, almost no one wants to eat in an empty restaurant, attend empty events or work out alone. While crowding is a problem others dream about, the board, management and various communities are exploring ways to better adapt the club to accommodate increased usage. The Strategic Planning and Athletic committees are reviewing how to maximize utilization of our existing physical plant, as well as future opportunities to use our newly acquired property on 20th Place. They are assessing expanding the number of classes/programs offered at nonpeak times. For example, they are exploring offering more evening and weekend classes in order to accommodate those with nontraditional work schedules, and those who just prefer working out in the evenings and on weekends; this has the added benefit of reducing class sizes at peak times. Another option to manage the increased usage is to turn to technology to ease congestion and improve communication. For example, the club’s newer communications

tools can turn “busier” into “easier.” You can start using your Twitter account to follow @MAC_parking for instant text updates on parking conditions; @MAC_ Updates for club cancellations and closures; and @MAC_Fitness for updates on spinning, yoga, Pilates, dance, and exercise and conditioning. To get these updates, visit the Club Info>Communications>Social Media web page, and follow MAC’s Twitter handles. The officers have spent the month of March selecting more than 600 members to serve on committees for the upcoming year. Again, we suffer from a problem other clubs wish they had, as we had many more applicants for committee assignments then we had openings. Immediately after the annual meeting was finished, while making my way to dinner, the lobbying began for members wishing to be appointed to one committee or another. The officers try to strike a balance of retaining experienced committee members to benefit from their institutional knowledge, expertise and commitment to the club, and appointing new members to allow for their fresh enthusiasm and new ideas. If you were unable to get on a committee this year, you can still get involved by joining the MACorps volunteers.

Monthly MAC Facts First, MAC Staff has saved three lives using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the past three years! We currently have more than 75 staff trained in CPR/AED use. Our AEDs are located in the West Pool lobby, 50-meter Pool lobby, Exercise and Conditioning Room, Manager on Duty’s office, Main Gym, Sundeck Pool, the west Tennis Lounge, the fourth floor entrance in the Parking Structure, and in the laundry facility. Staff who have administered CPR or used an AED in a life-saving effort are Dan Baggett, Pete Greer, Nancy Petit, Kaulike Souza and Brian Karsten. All of us would like to thank you again for your commitment to helping save lives. Second, in 2012, the club served 163,482 catered meals! That is almost 14,000 meals a month; the Men’s Bar served 48,540 meals; the Sports Pub served 89,688. The MAC Food and Beverage department employs 133 people. This certainly must make MAC one of the largest food service facilities in the state. WM

hat is the state of your club as we transition from one committee year to the next? Why is it important for the board to send charges to committees to act and recommend upon? We are a club that Norm Rich encourages member GENERAL MANAGER involvement! We want to know what is most important to better your club environment and what services you want most at the proper price points. While we never want to be too expensive, we also do not want to be too inexpensive. Sound silly? Actually I think not! Of the 37 other city/athletic clubs we are most similar to, MAC costs the least. Size has positive economic advantages; however, it can create other challenges. When listing your specific complaints, parking is always the No. 1 challenge. We simply do not have enough parking for many peak periods during a day, and that occurs many days a month. We have been working on the best, most costcompetitive solutions, moving down parallel paths to find a long-lasting solution. Our most probable solution is partnering with a developer on Block 7, immediately behind our current parking structure. In this plan, Mill Creek Development would build approximately 200 apartment units with dedicated parking for the tenants, 225 parking spaces exclusively for MAC members, and 14 to 16 overnight rooms for members and their guests. Our only outof-pocket expenses are legal fees, the cost of furniture and fixtures for the rooms, and the cost of the land, which was purchased in pieces between the 1950s and 1990s. To ensure future expansion capability for the club, we have also purchased land between 20th and 21st Avenues at Yamhill. We are experiencing positive cash flow on these investments and we anticipate growth in those land values while we determine our future. We are working with the City of Portland, Goose Hollow neighbors and adjoining neighborhoods to discuss zoning updates permitting for our growth

someday. Committees work on if and how we want to expand many years into the future. Planning appropriately for our future is key to our long-term success. We want to be forward in our thinking, much as past committees and boards did for our benefit. Financially the club remains healthy, membership is strong and we are saving for our future. Membership satisfaction remains extremely high, dues remain reasonable with square footage growing, and additional classes and services are being added. Food and Beverage revenues continue to grow significantly, signifying the unique experiences our members feel they are receiving on quality and value. Last year alone, the number of Men’s Bar meals served was up nearly 35 percent over the previous year. We are looking at investing in several projects this year. The rock gym becomes more advanced, with a speed and bouldering component being added this summer. We are renovating the two elevators in phase two and planning for many more improvements in 2014. The size and scope of these investments are large, so we decided to save for future investments by engaging architects to design and plan improvements in 2013, with the understanding that a more defined scope can lead us to better interpret cost and complexity, and allow us to value engineer where it makes the most sense. In 2014 we are looking at renovating the basement Women’s Locker Room, renovating and upgrading the ballroom, and creating an appropriate service corridor for the ballroom by dividing 26 Founders into a direct entrance to the Men’s Bar, a new wine room and the service corridor. Our club has begun its 123rd year of service to our membership, and we continue to increase member usage every year. We never stop looking for opportunities to make your club more accessible and fine-tuned, with the goal of balancing the value for money and services at optimal levels. Partnerships between committees and management have never been stronger and more focused on achieving common goals that benefit the membership. WM

SPORTS SHORTS

pril Fool’s Day is a fun day when little is taken seriously, sometimes making it hard to know what’s real and what’s just another prank, especially in athletics and fitness. I’ve compiled a few gems below for your amusement and Ed Stoner ATHLETiC DiRECTOR education this month. Our parents told us if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be fooled by quick fixes. Many continue to feel great health is easy; but don’t believe them when they tell you it was “easy” losing 10 pounds. As a Wall Street Journal article noted, “the only tried and true way to lose 10 pounds in 48 hours is food poisoning.” And, while I don’t condone not listening to your parents, scientific research does not show going outside too long will cause you to catch a cold, not even with a wet head. Eating right before you go swimming may not be the best advice either, but there is no conclusive evidence you are more likely to cramp or drown if you do; however, do shower before you get in the pool, because no matter how clean you are, your body and clothing carry thousands of micro-organisms and oils. Another item of entertainment is the many signs around the club. Yes, we have had members dye their hair in the bathroom sink, so please don’t do that. We haven’t put up the “Shaving in the Whirlpool Is Not Permitted” sign yet, but we’ve seen it. Tossing ice back into the ice machine after using it is no joke either… sorry for those of you who have been using that ice for your drinks, it was never meant for that in the first place. There are many resources out there to help you reach your fitness goals, but the Facebook post by a “doctor” stating, “If swimming is good for your figure, explain a whale to me,” probably isn’t the best one. That being said, do fool around with your workout to find what works best for you. A little variety can trick you into a better workout by keeping things fresh and you engaged, which is what ultimately works in the end (that and laying off the fries and cheesecake). I look forward to seeing you around the club this month, and that’s no joke. WM

CULINARY CORNER

pril is national gardening month! In addition to being a source of fresh, healthy produce, gardening can ease stress, keep you limber, and even improve your mood. I find my mood is greatly improved sitCameron ting on the back deck, McMurry enjoying the beautiful FOOD AND garden my wife has BEvERAGE DiRECTOR created. I cannot take any credit for the beauty of the garden, or for being limber, but I do look forward to the bounty to come. The chefs and managers also have a bounty of culinary opportunities, paired with seasonal beverages from near and far. On Wednesday, April 10, we host the first Spring Stock Your Cellar wine sale, with Young’s Market Company, featuring local and international wines at incredible values.

Committee members include, from left, club pro Hank Marcus, Athletic Committee liaison Judith Perry, Kurt Lender, Andrew Enriquez, Liz Wainwright, Mark Wigginton, chair Timm Locke, Bill Crist, Karen Stromme, member coach David Szafranski, Eric Visintainer, Mark Van der Veer and John Pyrch.

Athletic member Cody Soo captured first place in four of six events at Oregon Swimming’s 10-and-under Short Course Championship in Springfield in February. The 10 year old swam personal best times in all six of his individual events, winning both the 50 and 100 backstroke and butterfly. Soo also teamed up with junior members Beau Lonnquist, Jon Westlake and Peter Hinnen to finish second in the 200 medley and 200 free relays. He qualified for age-group sectionals in Federal Way, Wash., in March, where he looks to swim great for MAC. Soo is one of four 10-and-under athletes competing at sectionals.

Junior member Matthias Kreutzer won the 2012 OSI Long Course Championship in the 50 backstroke last July, and followed it up with a win in the 25 backstroke at the 2013 OSI 10-and-under Short Course Championship. Kreutzer, a student at Cathedral, also broke the 8-and-under 25 freestyle team and OSI record at the team’s Forest Grove meet in February. Kruetzer bettered the mark of 13.16, set by Brady Childs in 1990, by .14, swimming a 13.02. His goal at the beginning of the season was to set a team record in the event; he consequently set the 23-yearold Oregon Swimming record in the process.

Junior member Cameron Chen became a first-time state champion in the 50 breaststroke at the 2013 OSI 10 and under Short Course Championship meet in Springfield in February. He dropped a second and a half to 42.88. Chen edged out second place by .24, and finished just under two seconds from a 10-andunder Age Group Sectional qualifying time in the 50 breaststroke. He joined Matthias Kreutzer, and Olin and Will Gilster to place second in the 100 freestyle and the 100 medley relays. Chen’s breaststroke leg proved to be the difference for MAC’s relay team.

Athletic member Doug Heymann scored 41 points at the 11-14 OSI Short Course Championship in Corvallis, in February, including victories in the 50 freestyle and 50 breaststroke. Finishing top four in all of his events, the 12 year old won the 50 freestyle with a 24.41, and the 50 breaststroke in 32.56. Heymann swam in four relays for the team as well, and helped the group take second in the 200 medley and freestyle relays and second in the 400 freestyle relay. The group of 11- and 12-yearold boys finished third in the 400 medley relay. Heymann was a member of the 2012 Oregon Zone team last summer.

APRIL 2013

Junior member Van Mathias defended his title in the 50 butterfly, winning the event on the final day of the 11-14 OSI Short Course Championship. The 12 year old was sixth in the country in the 50 butterfly at age 11, and looks to be a contender at the Northwest Age Group Sectional meet in March. As a 12-year-old, this will be the last year Mathias is able to swim the event, as 50 yard freestyle becomes the shortest distance in the next age group. Mathias scored 45 points, three points away from scoring the most points for the meet, despite swimming against older competition. He also won the 100 breaststroke.

In Memoriam W

illiam Cahoone Bessey, PhD, died peacefully on February 25 with family at his side. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Bill attended Grant High School in Portland, and Oregon State University before entering the Army in 1943. He served in K Company, 354th Inf. Regiment, 89th Division, of the Third Army. Bill carried a mortar across Europe, crossed the Rhine River, helped liberate Ohrdruf Concentration Camp, and received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal for heroism. Following the Second World War he attended the University of Oregon, where he was a loyal member of Chi Psi Fraternity. After earning a BA and MBA, he worked several years for Tektronix in Portland. In 1966, Bill received a doctorate from the University of Oregon and began a career at Bank of America in San Francisco, where he developed training programs for branch managers. Upon retirement, he served as development director at the Legion of Honor before beginning a second career as a professor of human resources management at Golden Gate University. He retired in 1996. Bill was a devoted parishioner of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and served several times on the Vestry. He enjoyed golf and was a good tennis player, spending countless Saturday mornings at the Golden Gateway Tennis Club. He was a member of MAC for more than 60 years. As a member of the Family Club, Bill took great joy singing with his fellow Song Birds and wrote several plays. He served as president of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and dutifully participated in many civic endeavors in San Francisco. He was preceded in death by wife, Marsha; mother, Louise; father, Roy; stepmother, Glenna; and sisters Carolyn and Janet. He is survived by son, Sam; daughterin-law, Meg; and grandchildren, Evelyn and Matthew of Nashville. Claire McNeil Gray Jr. died Oct. 3, 2012. He was 85. Claire was born in Marshfield, the second of three children of Claire McNeil Sr. and Caroline Gray. The following year, the family moved to Coquille, where he spent his younger days playing basketball,

18 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2013

acting in school plays, serving as student body president, pumping gas and playing trumpet in a dance band. Claire joined the Navy at 17, attending boot camp in San Diego. He then served as a commodore’s chauffeur in Oakland until the war ended. Always a hard and committed worker, Claire rose through the ranks from grocery sales in Coquille to General Sales Manager at Consolidated Freightways in Portland. In 1969, he helped start a leasing company, Trans-Pacific Leasing, which he sold to GranTree Leasing, where he served as president. He retired from Benjamin Franklin Leasing in 1992. While attending the University of Oregon, he met Dorothy Marie Darkins, who became his much-loved wife of 64 years. Together, in Milwaukie, they raised their three children, Diane, Steven and Julie. A devoted father, he looked forward to their games and school activities. Claire often traveled for work, but most enjoyed being at home with his family and at their cabin at Black Butte Ranch. He and Dorothy loved to play golf, attend Mariner games and their annual sojourn in Palm Springs. Relationships were important to Claire. He was a generous man who would do anything for a friend, and he had many, including those where they later lived in Charbonneau, that he helped care for in their declining years. He loved music, his church, a walk through the neighborhood, and of course, a good joke! Claire dealt with 15 years of treatment for melanoma and was at home with his family when, in the end, it quickly took him. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by wife, Dorothy; daughters, Diane (Chris Mueller), Julie (Greg Wolleck); son, Steve (Marylu Gray); and grandchildren, Emily (Steve) Forbes, Carly (Sergio) Lima, Timothy Gray and Madisen Wolleck. Donations may be made in Claire’s name to St. Francis Church. Doris Jane (Craig) Elle passed away peacefully on Jan. 28. She was 94. She was born Nov. 7, 1918 in White Salmon, Wash. to Chester and Helen Craig. In 1937 she graduated from Franklin High School in Portland, and attended Biola Bible College in Los Angeles.

Doris went to work at Irelands at Lloyds restaurant. She started work in the kitchen and moved on to be a waitress, then the hostess. She used to float amongst the tables, spreading her joy and making tiny origami animals for the families and children. She also decorated the Easter egg tree in the patio at Irelands. Her interest in young people led her to become a Camp Fire Girl leader. She was an accomplished painter and her oil paintings, stitchery, weaving and art crafts are enjoyed by many of her family and friends. Doris married Ralph Elle Sr. in 1972. They belonged to the Columbia Edgewater Country Club where they enjoyed golf, cards and dinners with friends and family. Ralph and Doris took annual trips to Kauai, where they golfed, and she snorkeled and swam. She was also an active member of MAC. Doris lived life to the fullest with laughter, joy and integrity. She was devoted to her religious ideals and family traditions where she both created, respected and enjoyed them thoroughly. She had a “sunny spark” about her. The words “fun” and “play” were frequently used by her. She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Bertha Stephens, Clifford Craig and Margaret Farance; husband Ralph Elle, Sr.; and two nephews. She is survived by her brother, Warren (Anne) Craig; her stepchildren, Ralph Elle Jr. and Jeannette (Mitch) Daletas, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and loving friends. Senior preferred member Gordon R. Janney died peacefully on Feb. 12. He was 88. Gordon was born on April 23, 1924. He served in the Army Air Corps aboard a B-25 bomber in the Pacific during World War II. Following his military service, he attended University of Oregon where he pledged the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. His fraternity brothers became many of his life-long friends. After college, Gordon embarked on a business career in the field of sales as a manufacturer’s representative, eventually co-founding Representatives Northwest, Inc., one of the largest firms of its kind in the country. Gordon was active in many non-profit organizations, including Oregon Episcopal Schools, Boy Scouts of America, All Saints Episcopal Church, University of Oregon

A D M i N i S T R AT i v E Foundation, his University of Oregon ATO Fraternity Chapter and the William Temple House. He was a lifelong member of the MAC, avid outdoorsman, golfer and Duck supporter. He was preceded in death by his wife of 51 years, Marion Janney; and his brother, Dean Janney. Gordon is survived by his sons, Philip (Nancy), Russell (Tracy) and Peter (Deborah); grandchildren, Elizabeth, Scott, Katherine, Elliott, Michael, Caroline and William; brother, Fritz; and many friends. In lieu of cards and flowers, the family suggests a contribution be made in Gordon’s name to a charity of the contributor’s choosing, or to the Gordon Janney Scholarship Fund of the University of Oregon Foundation. Senior family member Thomas J. Hammond, longtime chief executive of Portland-based exporter Columbia Grain, died Thursday in Portland after a sudden illness. He was 60. Thomas was head of the grain export company since 2000, and involved in the company’s management since its very beginning in 1978. for nearly 15 percent of all U.S. wheat exports. Thomas, who was raised in Florida, got his start in the grain business in Iowa. He earned a masters of business administration from Vanderbilt University, joined Cook Industries and was shortly thereafter transferred to Portland. That company sold its Portland grain export to Marubeni, which formed Columbia Grain. For most of his life Thomas introduced himself to others as “a grain merchant.” He was also an advocate for American exports and traveled the world to promote American products. Thomas traveled frequently to Japan, where Columbia’s corporate parent was based, and where the Northwest’s soft white wheat exports are extremely popular for their use in noodles. Thomas is survived by his wife of 33 years; his son, Robert Hammond; and his daughter, Katherine Hammond. His brother, Kenneth Hammond, died earlier. A celebration of life for family, friends and business associates will be held March 9. Nonresident member Alexa Rose Howell died Jan. 15 after a 12-year battle with cancer at St. Luke’s in Boise, Idaho. The artist, arts supporter, writer and teacher was soft-spoken and warm-hearted, an unshakeable optimist. She leaves a legacy

through her colorful, whimsical artwork and her love and support of Boise’s cultural life. A New York City native, Alexa Rose served as the managing director for the Boise Philharmonic in the mid-1970s. She and Ginger Scott, a good friend, created the Ginger-Ales Puppet Theater and did shows wherever they could pitch their stage. She taught art and cooking classes for kids out of her home and wrote a column for the Idaho Statesman in the 1980s. In 2008, she opened Gallery Alexa Rose in the Idaho Building, not to show her own work but to showcase the works of a group of young artists she wanted to support. Alexa and Ken Howell met at New York University. Howell, who grew up in San Francisco, was working in New York and took a fiction-writing class at night. One evening he stopped in the student union building on a lark. “It was practically deserted except for Alexa and she caught my eye,” Howell remembered. “We were both looking at bulletin boards and ended up walking out the main door together. I asked: Did you find what you were looking for? I forget what she said but we struck up a conversation and went out for drinks and dinner.” That was September 1972. The couple married by January and left for Europe and a year’s stay in Athens, Greece. They came to Idaho to work on a friend’s cattle ranch. They then moved to Boise. Alexa would have preferred Seattle, but she fell in love with the City of Trees. They raised three children, Amy, Bryan and Clarke, and started Parkland Management to run buildings they owned. Alexa Rose overcame much since her lymphoma diagnosis in 2001, especially over the past two years, when the cancer spread. As her options became more extreme, she decided to let go, her husband said — “to let herself pass.” Senior family member Scott L. Mader passed away peacefully one week after his best ski-race ever, surrounded by family and friends, on Feb. 18, after a long battle with multiple myeloma. He was 57. He was born and raised in Salem, the son of Jackie and Howard, and younger brother to Robert (Gwen) Mader. He was a loving husband of 30 years to Maureen (nee O’Malley).

In Memoriam Continued from page 19 Ellen and Brian. Uncle, cousin, nephew and friend to many. He played football at North Salem High School. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Willamette University and studied medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. After completing his medical residency at the University of Rochester in New York, he did a Geriatric Fellowship at the University of California in Los Angeles. He had a passion for working with veterans and with the deeply committed staff at the Portland VA Medical Center, a position that enabled him the ever-challenging roles of administrator, researcher and clinician. As an educator, he was a professor of medicine at OHSU. Taking his responsibilities to his family and friends as earnestly as his work, Scott loved to spend time with them by skiing, backpacking, fishing and playing backyard badminton with “Mader house rules.” Music played a central role in his life. He enjoyed playing a wide array of

instruments, and tried much to the delight and chagrin (depending on the instrument) to imprint this passion to his family and friends. He never forgot his roots, and loved spending time at his 150-year-old family farm. His only regret was that he could not live out his retirement picking up rocks, weeding and plowing fields. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that remembrances be made in Scott Mader’s name to support Patient Support Services at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Please make your checks payable to the OHSU Foundation and mail to Mail Stop 45 PO Box 4000, Portland, OR 97208-9852. Senior family preferred member Wesley G. Strohecker, passed away Saturday, Feb. 9. He was 83. Wes was born in Portland on Aug. 5, 1929 to Roswell and Opal Strohecker. He was the grandson of Gottlieb Strohecker, founder of Strohecker’s, Inc. grocery store in Portland’s West Hills neighborhood. Wes attended Ainsworth Elementary, Cathedral Grade School, Columbia Prep, Lincoln High School and the University of Oregon. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was based in San Diego. He was honorably

discharged in 1949. He served in the U.S. Navy Reserve until 1954. Wes started working at Strohecker’s as a delivery boy and was president upon his retirement in 1992. He wore many hats during his lifelong career at the store. He prided himself on providing the level of customer service Strohecker’s was renowned for, and he cared deeply for his customers. On one Thanksgiving day a customer called Wes at home, upset that she forgot the cranberry sauce. Dad told her to meet him at the store and he opened the store just for her, ensuring she would have a perfect dinner for her family. Wes married his first wife, Gloria Jean Sells, in 1959. Together they had four children, Tamara, Dale, Nancy and Mollyanna. He married his second wife, Marcia Peterson Marks, in 1977, and Marcia’s two children, John and Kristin, became like his own. Wes and Marcia enjoyed 36 years of marriage together. Wes had a keen sense of humor and loved a good laugh, even if it was at his own expense. He had a notorious sweet tooth, with maple bars and homemade ice cream as particular favorites. As a young

A D M i N i S T R AT i v E man, he was passionate about building and racing street roadsters and coupes. Wes was a member of the local Pacer’s racing club and the Northwest Timing Association, and a driver for the club’s custom-built cars at the 1952 National Timing meet at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. Wes loved to snow ski. He was a partner in the Sports Unlimited ski shop in Goose Hollow. As a member of the Schnee Vogeli Ski Club, he participated in ski races on Mt. Hood. He lived in Government Camp for a couple of years. During Ski Bowl’s development, he cleared the tree stumps from the runs with the use of dynamite. Wes and his friends knew just the right amount of powder to use to loosen the stump, allowing them to stand on top of the stumps as they blew up and get a ride out of it. Wes’s other passion was sailing. In 1966, he purchased Minerva, a classic 52-foot wood sailing ketch. Family life and vacations were centered around the boat. Weekends were spent sailing the Columbia and Willamette rivers, and family summer vacations were spent cruising the San Juan Islands and San Francisco Bay.

Wes was a member of the Portland Yacht Club and MAC. He served on the board for Northwest Pilot Project, was a community advisor for the Junior League’s Pittock Mansion Teahouse development, and volunteered for the Portland Art Museum. He worshiped at Ascension Chapel. Wes is preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Gerald Roswell Strohecker. He is survived by his wife, Marcia; his children, Tamara Strohecker Florer (Herb), Dale Strohecker (Debbie), Nancy Strohecker Burke (Michael), John Marks (Lynnette), Mollyanna Strohecker RiosNogales (Jorge) and Kristin Marks Roslund (Drew); and 12 grandchildren. Remembrances in Wes’s name may be made to Providence Hospice, Alzheimer’s Association or Ascension Chapel. Senior preferred member Mary Ausplund Tooze died Jan. 24 of cancer. She was 89. Mary loved the arts and young people. For decades she supported Portland’s young artists, and not just with money. Born in Portland in 1923 to Ada and Emil Ausplund, Mary graduated from Lincoln High School in 1940. She majored

in music at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., studying with noted French composer Darius Milhaud. In 1945 she married Lamar Tooze Jr., a Portland attorney, who died in 1985. A pianist herself, Mary performed J.S. Bach’s Concerto in D Minor with the Portland Chamber Orchestra in 1949, and for the past 20 years hosted a monthly playing group – she called it the Repertory Group – where participants performed for one another in her home. Over 50 years, she supported many of Oregon’s major arts groups, including the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Oregon Symphony, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Artist Repertory Theatre and the piano series Portland Piano International. Mary opened her home, inviting young pianists to play for groups of friends. Whether they were preparing for their first public performance or coming home on a break from major conservatories or concert careers, a trip to Mary’s home became part of their preparation. When PSU remodeled Lincoln Hall in 2010, Mary funded a new piano teaching Continued on page 22

Reciprocal Club Privileges for Members

ultnomah Athletic Club members are entitled to reciprocal privileges at more than 80 of the finest private clubs in the United States, Canada and abroad. Members may take advantage of this exceptional benefit when traveling for pleasure or business. Reciprocal clubs vary in what they offer, so members are encouraged to do their homework before they visit another club to avoid any surprises. Most reciprocal clubs offer workout facilities, but few are as extensive as MAC’s. Many clubs have room accommodations and dining options in safe, convenient locations and good prices. Dress codes at most clubs are stricter than MAC, and some clubs are more familyfriendly than others. Reciprocal guest fees vary from club to club, as well as what is included in the fees. A club’s website is a good place to find information about its facilities, hours of operation, dress code, reciprocal fees and room rates. MAC’s Concierge Desk can

also provide basic information about clubs on the list. Members should contact the reciprocal club directly for specific questions and to make room reservations. Overnight accommodations book quickly in many city clubs, depending on the season and local festivals or sports events. Members wishing to visit popular destination cities such as New York City, Boston or Washington, D.C. are advised to call the club as early as possible to

with each club’s contact information and a link to its website. Call MAC’s Concierge Desk and a letter of introduction will be sent electronically to the club.

Members must follow the rules of the reciprocal club when visiting. Most clubs post key rules on their websites, such as dress code, mobile phone use and guest polices. If unsure, members are encouraged to ask the reciprocal club staff for clarification. Violations are reported to MAC, and members may be disciplined by the House Committee or denied reciprocal privileges. The Concierge Desk welcomes feedback from members about reciprocal visits or information about other private clubs to consider for reciprocity.

MEET THE NEW PRESIDENT

Carl Burnham III By TOM HALLMAN JR.

o better understand the goals and philosophy of Multnomah Athletic Club’s new president, it’s important to know that Carl Burnham III was once reluctant to join the club he now helps lead. “I didn’t know if I wanted to be a part of the club,” he said with a laugh. “We had been to some social functions there, but we loved our 24 Hour Fitness.” Although the club has been an integral part of his life since 1998 – he and his family joined after winning a spot in the 1997 lottery – Burnham is not so wedded to the club’s history that he can’t help chart an ambitious course to prepare for the future. What he wants to avoid is what’s happened to many of the nation’s most prestigious clubs. Club leadership can be so wedded to the past – the mantra being ‘that the way we’ve always done it’ – that they refuse to spot and then deal with societal changes that slowly erode the importance of a club and the place it fills in a life. “My goal as president is to push the place forward and force change for the future,” he explained. “I want to be respectful of tradition, but not be stuck in the past.” To spend any time with Burnham is to realize this is a man who does not waste time and also isn’t caught up in the hoopla that comes with the title of president. The way he sees it, he has a job to do, and is ready to get started. When it came time to sit for an interview to outline his background and goals, Burnham didn’t seek out a quiet office. Instead, he led the way to the second floor, plopped down in a chair

across from the computer desk – nodding to people passing by – and started talking. “It’s true that I didn’t want to join,” he said. “Our neighbors kept bugging us to put in an application. When we toured the place, I thought the weight room was a joke because it was so small and the equipment was from the fifties. But everyone kept telling us to join for our kids. We had

“My goal as president is to push the place forward and force change for the future. I want to be respectful of tradition, but not be stuck in the past.” — CARL BURNHAM three of them under 6 years old, so we put our name in for the lottery.” His friends were right. “Someone was here every day after school and on the weekend,” Burnham said. “Classes, basketball, rock climbing. You name it and we were here participating.” Burnham, 50, is a Portland resident and managing partner at Deschutes Wealth Management, LLC. He graduated from the University of Oregon in 1984 with a degree in finance. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children. Their daughter Kate attends Boston College. Their daughter Madeline attends Colorado College and their son Chase is a senior at Jesuit High School. Over the years, he and his family have been active in club activities including ski, dance, swimming, tennis, and exercise and conditioning. Besides using the E&C

Strategic Planning committees. Burnham became involved in the club’s committee system when his kids were on the MAC ski teams. While a member of the Athletic Committee he served as liaison to the Dance/Group Exercise and Handball committees. He has also served on Budget and Finance and on various ad hoc committees. “This is one of the best-managed clubs in the nation, and the committee system and board are two of the reasons,” said Burnham. “The committee system can be slow and bureaucratic, but it usually makes the right decisions. I will be leaning on the board and committees to address complex issues. The Board is in general agreement, on the major issues facing the club, and we have a clear and strategic plan for the building, the financing, and the general club operations.” Burnham said the “hospitality side” of the club is running well.

MAC President Carl Burnham III and his wife, Lisa, with their son, Chase. They have two daughters, Kate, who attends Boston College, and Madeline, who attends Colorado College. “You need a reservation to get seated for dinner,” he said. “That’s remarkable. If you take out general club overhead allocation, food and beverage makes a profit.” With laser-like focus, Burnham wants to focus on communications and athletics. Club use is up significantly in the past three years. Burnham says, “That puts increasing pressure on facilities. We have lots of people age 60 and older who are using the weight room and exercise classes. It was not long ago that most adults did not regularly exercise outside of playing sports, like racquetball and squash. My grandparents certainly did not work out.

So how do we serve that population and balance the needs of other members.” Part of the way, Burnham said, will be to find a better system to communicate with members. He wants to make it easy, for example, to go onto the MAC website to see instantly what classes are available and at what times. “That’s another issue,” he said. “I want us to have a thorough examination of athletics, all the way from coaches to staff to members. I want us to see what classes need to be expanded, and what classes or activities we need to sunset.

“We need to better anticipate what members will want and when,” he said. “Group classes are popular. And we need to find a way to get more classes on the weekend and at night. The last spin class is at 6:30 p.m. That has to change.” Change is a word that Burnham embraces. “This was a traditional downtown club,” Burnham said. “Then it changed. What I want us to do is lead the change and be prepared so we remain a strong club.” WM

Nature vs. nurture: A story of adoption, reunion, neuroscience and shock therapy

Who are we? Why do we do odd things sometimes? Can we stimulate specific places in the brain to fight disease? New approaches and the latest technologies are helping us understand the origins of intuition, the benefits of social networks, and the best ways to address conditions such as movement disorders and depression.

Cataclysms on the Columbia: the Great Missoula Floods Wednesday, May 29, 9-10:15 a.m. Portland State University geology professor Scott Burns returns after a great response to his lectures last year. This lecture focuses on one of the greatest set of geological events to ever have occurred in North America – the Missoula Floods. The floods originated when an ice dam broke in upper Idaho, liberating waters impounded in back of it in Montana, scouring out large sections of eastern Washington and the lower Columbia River drainage basin. The talk focuses on the incredible story of discovery and development of the idea of the floods by J. Harlen Bretz and later geologists, and discusses the effect of the floods on the development of the landscape of the Pacific Northwest. The floods occurred between 15,000 and 18,000 years ago.

Luncheon Speakers Discuss Interior Design and Healing Gardens P

ortland-based interior designer, Robert Trotman, ASID, believes that nothing gives personality to a room like fine art, be it a painting, a watercolor, a fine print or a sculpture. Trotman shares dozens of images of homes all over the United States that he promihas designed that promi nently feature fine art. For Trotman, it is the art that makes a room, no matter how beautiful the furniture, how exquisite an the fabrics or how wonder wonderRobert Trotm ful the architecture – it all comes down to the art. When selecting fabrics, rugs and wall colors for his projects, he tries to create a neutral background that lets the art shine. But that doesn’t mean those fabrics and colors are boring. Trotman brings several vignettes of lush fabrics from Lee Jofa, Brunschwig & Fils, Groundworks, Kravet, and Glant and rugs from Tufenkian, Lapchi and Christiane Millinger, that work well with all kinds of art, and even a few of his own favorite pieces. His presentation illustrates some of the ways he likes to use art, and why the size of a work and its placement can be so important. He also shares some of his favorite Portland art galleries and Northwest artists. Trotman is a longtime docent at the Portland Art Museum and an avid art collector. Since 1986, he has been providing professional interior design services to many of the Pacific Northwest’s leading families, in addition to numerous projects in California, Washington, Idaho, Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Arizona. Drawn by his commitment to the arts, clients experience an unprecedented level of exposure to aesthetic and function, ultimately culminating in projects that are tailored to their desires and needs. Trotman uses his background in law to project-manage elements of architecture, design and construction, while maintaining perspective on the smallest details.

about the gardens, the reasoning behind them and the program, which is training a new generation in horticulture therapy. This presentation addresses evidence regarding the health benefits for children, those over age 50, and other groups related to gardens, gardening and enjoying nearby nature. The belief that gardens are beneficial for people with illness goes back at least 2,000 years and has been part of widely different cultures. In recent years, the interest in gardens has returned as a growing amount of scientific research suggests that exposure to gardens and nature in healthcare settings reduces patient stress and pain, and can improve other outcomes. Hazen, MEd, HTR, QMHP has been with Legacy Health in Portland since 1991. She is responsible for pioneering the horticultural therapy program and therapeutic gardens for Legacy’s longterm care and skilled nursing patients. Today, she oversees 10 therapeutic gardens and horticultural therapy work through the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon, Emanuel Children’s Hospital and the Oregon Burn Center.

Rebuilding Together volunteers lend a hand in their communities.

MACorps Teams with Rebuilding Together

n Saturday, April 27, MACorps volunteers partner with the longestablished Rebuilding Together program to improve the home of a senior resident in need in Goose Hollow. As with the successful neighborhood cleanup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this one-day project provides an opportunity to join other MAC members to make a difference in our community. Rebuilding Together is a nonsectarian and non-profit organization in its 22nd year locally, but is part of a nationwide organization. It contacts local buildingsupply companies to donate products that teams of volunteers use to clean, paint and revitalize homes, assuring that low-income homeowners can live in safety, health and independence. Members of the Communities Committee were able to identify a local homeowner who was interested in having assistance. A MAC member and leader from the neighborhood went to visit with the homeowner before nominating him for consideration. Fortunately, Rebuilding Together’s selection committee approved the resident and his home to receive support. If you like projects where you roll up your sleeves and improve a situation in a short time span, volunteer to join us. To register or for more information, go to theMAC.com or call 503-517-7265.

Lose an Item? Check with the Concierge

SOPHISTICATED STUNNING ESTATE

hroughout the year, lost-and-found items appear at the Concierge Desk. The concierge staff helps these lost items find their way back to the owners. More importantly, their goal is to reduce the number of misplaced articles in the first place. Belongings should be labeled with the owner’s name or account number whenever feasible. This is especially important for children’s items. Leaving a business card in the pocket of coats and jackets is another helpful suggestion. Owners may claim lost belongings at the Concierge Desk by identifying their items. Unclaimed items are donated to local charities. Hundreds of items go unclaimed every month. Valuables such as cash, wallets, jewelry and watches are logged in by the manager on duty and held in safe storage for longer periods.

Thursday, June 27, 7:30 p.m. That lovable family of creepy kooks is alive and well and living in their superspooky mansion in Central Park. The Addams Family, led by the elegantly gaunt and seemingly undead Morticia and her ever-devoted husband Gomez, is in turmoil. Their daughter Wednesday, now 18, finds herself falling in love – a sensation that is unsettling for her and her family of endearing misfits. When the teen invites her new boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, over with his “normal” family to get better acquainted with the Addams household, comic chaos ensues. Fans of Charles Addams’ macabre cartoons and the popular TV show and movies they inspired will not be disappointed by this musical. The original story and score may be new to audiences, but the iconic characters, including Lurch, Grandmama, Pugsley and Uncle Fester, remain. The cost is $70 per ticket.

Balladeers Thank Outgoing Director

s the Balladeer season winds down it is appropriate to offer a round of thanks to outgoing director Doug Cooley. He is leaving to pursue other musical interests after the traditional June brunch. Long-time Balladeer director Roger Doyle, who passed away last April, picked Cooley as his successor. Doyle mentored Cooley at the University of Portland, where he received his master of music degree in choral directing in 1997. This is Cooley’s second year directing the Balladeers, although he earlier served the group as singer, accompanist and acting director at various times over the past 20 years. He is providing keyboard and vocal work with the local classic rock band, The Insensitives. The Balladeers wish him well. In the meantime, auditions have been under way for a new director for the past month. Several candidates have expressed interest and the Balladeers look forward to musical ideas and a new repertoire down the road. Upcoming gigs include one at Bethany in April 18 and CherryWood Village in southeast Portland in May. The annual Balladeer brunch is held Monday, June 3 at MAC. All men who love to sing are welcome to join the Balladeers.

Members are a part of an elite club that strives for excellence. To that end, every year MAC hosts the Spring Decathlon. What better way to step up a workout regimen and compete against friends and peers? For first-time participants, this is an excellent opportunity to establish a baseline that can be built upon year after year. For those who have previously participated, it’s an opportunity to see how one’s fitness stacks up against previous years, and an opportunity to reconnect with old friends. As a final incentive, there is the postcompetition awards banquet with food and refreshments.

The classic decathlon begins on Monday, April 29, and continues through Sunday, May 19. Eighteen events are available, but one only has to participate in 10. The events and categories are as follows: Conditioning: 1,000-meter row, 2,000meter row, 200-yard swim, mile run and stationary bike Speed/Skill: 100-meter dash, 400-meter dash, 40-yard shuttle run, 50-yard swim, basketball free throws, football punt (baseball throw for women), jump rope and long jump Strength: bench press, pull-ups, shot put and vertical leap Each participant completes three events from each of the categories, with the 10th event being chosen from any of the categories. You can complete as many events as desired, with some participants electing to

Ironwoman. It is similar to the classic decathlon; however, it is comprised of 10 set events and is completed over a two-day period, on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19. The events are: bench press, jump rope, pull-ups, stationary bike, 2000-meter row, 50-yard swim, shot put, 100-meter dash, 400-meter dash and the mile run. This is truly an exciting event and is for those seeking the ultimate challenge. The Decathlon Committee is pleased to announce that the cost for the 2013 decathlon remains unchanged from last year at just $20. Sign up at theMAC.com or at the round table located by the entrance to the E&C Room. Men’s and women’s decathlon event packets, providing complete details of the competition, are available at the sign-up table in the E&C Room, and any Decathlon Committee member is happy to answer questions or offer tips for any last minute training. So, contact your friends and initiate a friendly challenge among one another. Who is the best athlete, who is the most determined? Is it won through strategy and effective tactics, or is it finesse versus brawn? Don’t miss this opportunity to be challenged and enjoy friendly competition with others. Don’t hesitate – sign up today! – Frank Sherwood and Mark Bussey WM

Spring Brings New Season for Tri Run

n April, the Triathlon and Running Committee welcomes the coming of spring, when longer daylight hours help move athletes outdoors. A new running coach, group training, and a full schedule of events keep MAC athletes working hard. During the winter months, athletes geared up for a competitive season of racing. In January, the committee held a kickoff event to present training plans and race schedules. There were introductions from member coaches and member athletes, including the recounting by Bridget Dawson and Lauren Binder of their agegroup victories at the Triathlon World Championships in New Zealand. In February, triathlon coaches began weekly training rides on Saturday mornings. March brought the popular Indoor Triathlon event to the club, giving many a first taste of the triathlon experience. Track workouts began in March, and continue to meet every Thursday in the Turnaround at 6 p.m. These workouts

Track workouts at Lincoln High return during the spring months. are conducted by new running Member Coach Deborah James. They are designed to fit all levels of runner, in anticipation of improving times for the upcoming MAC Mile event in May. Group bike rides begin on Saturdays in April. These rides leave from MAC at

10:45 a.m. and are open to members and friends training for summer races. Open water swims start at Hagg Lake in May. These are followed by group bike rides to round out the day. All are welcome. Several spring races are on the schedule for MAC runners. The Shamrock Run is a St. Patrick’s Day tradition for club athletes of all levels. The event was a great showing for MAC runners at the 5K, 8K and 15K distances. This month brings the Race for the Roses event on Sunday, April 14. Runners should also look for the MAC logo at the Cinco de Mayo Run on Sunday, May 5, and the Portland Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon on Sunday, May 19. Looking forward to a summer triathlon season, member coaches and athletes have planned for a strong racing schedule. Several short course races are targeted in June, including Pine Hollow Tri, Blue Lake Triathlon and the Pacific Crest Weekend Sports Festival. The short course triathlon includes two options for distances. Sprint triathlons race through an 800-meter swim, a 20K bike and a 5K run.

AT H L E T I C S The Olympic distance is a 1,500-meter swim, a 40K bike and a 10K run. A subgroup of triathletes is training together for long course triathlon distances: the Ironman and Half Ironman distances. The 70.3 group is a dedicated team of roughly a dozen MAC athletes working toward ambitious goals – 70.3 kilometers is another way to describe the distance that is best known as the half ironman triathlon. The .75-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13-mile run all combine for a total of 70.3 miles. These athletes are looking ahead to a long-course competition in Boise, Idaho in June, Lake Stevens, Wash., in July, and potentially the world championships in Las Vegas in September. Please remember that athletes registering for races are eligible for development funding through the Triathlon and Running Committee. Wear the Winged M while competing!

New Running Member Coach Goes the Distance

AC runners get to see a new face around the club this year – Deborah James joins the club as a running member coach. James ran for the University of Oregon, competing in the 100- and 200-meter sprints, the long jump and triple jump. She graduated with a bachelor of science degree in human physiology and general science (minoring in chemistry and biology). James works at Providence St. Vincent Hospital as an EKG technician, and serves the Play Smart Program (which offers youth heart screenings). She also volunteers as a running buddy mentor with Girls on the Run, a program that promotes self-esteem and empowerment for youth. After college, James transitioned to distance running. She belongs to two local running clubs, Team Red Lizard and the Bowerman Athletic Club. Her enthusiasm for health and fitness is contagious. She is a welcome addition to the Triathlon and Running Committee, and a great addition to MAC. Deborah Jam “After college I started running distance on my own to es maintain fitness. As I continued to run, I would challenge myself to see if I could run further each time,” James says. “I soon set a goal to challenge myself and run a marathon. I have since run San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll, Eugene, Portland and New York marathons and qualified for Boston, but have yet to run it!” Expect to see James leading MAC members at group runs, local races and MAC spring track workouts on Thursdays at 6 p.m. – Ben Cornett WM

Handballers Head to Hood River for Tourney

he 18th Annual Hugh Hinman Memorial Handball Tournament was held, as always, at the Hood River Elks Club in January. This tournament is held to honor the memory of Hugh Hinman, a longtime player and contributor to the Oregon handball scene. Hugh’s brother Dale and niece Jennifer, both accomplished handball players, organize and promote this event annually in Hugh’s memory. The format of the tournament usually pits eight doubles teams (this year there were 10) against each other in a oneday, single elimination tournament with a consolation bracket. All matches are completed in one Saturday, which makes for one long day of handball playing and camaraderie between the Hood River and Portland players.

APRIL 2013

Players from Portland and surrounding areas are invited to participate. Once the roster is finalized, a player from Portland is usually paired with a player from Hood River to form the teams. This year, MAC players Steve Grow, Bob Herrera, John Van Gorder, Jeff Jasperson and Troy Peterson were invited to participate. John Van Gorder, playing with Pat Hartford (Hood River) went down in their second match to Mike Wecker (Portland) and Ron Harder (Hood River). Jeff Jasperson and young gun Stephen Stenberg (Hood River) lost their first match to the ultimate champions, and then advanced to the finals of the consolation, losing to Stephen’s older brother Mike and Glen Cody, both of Hood River. Steve Grow and Kirk Hinman (Hood River) advanced to the playoff

for third place against Troy Peterson and Tom Dutcher (Portland). Troy and Tom ultimately claimed the third-place prize. In the finals, Bob Herrera and Dale Hinman (Hood River) squared off against perennial champ Ken Goe (Hood River) and his partner Jerry Mohar (Hood River). This year it was not meant to be for Goe, as Herrera and Hinman claimed the championship in a well-fought final match. This year was especially memorable for Dale Hinman, as it was the first time in the history of this event that he has been crowned champion. During the evening banquet Dale masterfully emceed the program, which recounts many of the exploits of Dale and Hugh as handball players over the years. Dale also caps off the evening by thanking every player in the room for their participation in the tournament by recognizing them with a personal anecdote. This is a great event that exemplifies the true camaraderie of handball. – Jeff Jasperson WM

Taking on Timberline – One Section at a Time Local author discusses best ways to hike state’s signature trail

ne of the most spectacular hiking trails in the world is in Portland’s backyard – Mount Hood’s Timberline Trail. The Civilian Conservation Corps built this 41-mile necklace encircling the mountain between 1934 and 1938. As the name of the trail implies, much of it is actually at or near timberline, but as it circles the mountain, it drops in and out of canyons carved by the rivers that flow from the many glaciers on the mountain. Most of the trail is in the Mount Hood Wilderness, and part of the trail includes the Pacific Crest Trail that runs from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. Although this wonderful trail was built and is maintained by humans, the forces of nature rule and affect the condition of and access to the trail. A five-mile segment of trail between Elk Cove and Cloud Cap Inn has been closed since 2006 because of a massive washout that opened up a 150-foot deep chasm below Eliot Glacier. Rebuilding this segment is particularly challenging – thus, the extended closure. Throughout the years, forest fires have also altered the trail and access to it, but when trails are reopened following a fire, hikers are privileged to witness forest recovery. The most recent example of this is the Dollar Fire in 2011, which burned more than 6,300 acres on the north side of the mountain. Rebuilding, repairing and rerouting trails for hiker access was challenging, and witnessing the remains to what once was a forested route can create a sense of great loss. But fire is part of the forest cycle of life, and the absence of trees opens up new views, some of them stunning. The trail is accessed from numerous trailheads on the mountain, offering virtually everything a hiker could dream of: spectacular views, alpine meadows carpeted with wildflowers, beautiful streams, glacierfed rivers, and quiet forests. The primary hiking season on the Timberline Trail is short – July through September – but what glorious months those are for hiking. The best months to see the alpine flowers in all their amazing glory are July and August. Choosing a day hike on and near the Timberline Trail depends upon how much a

Enjoying the splendor of the mountain and trails is not limited to the hardiest of hikers and backpackers. There are trails of every length and every level of challenge. Hiking a short distance from Timberline Lodge provides dramatic views above timberline. Wildflower meadows are accessed from relatively short trails or from long and more challenging trails. Breaking the whole Timberline Trail into day hikes is easy and only involves understanding how to access several trailheads from the roads that circle the mountain. Learn more about strategies on how to best accomplish this on Thursday, May 9 at 7 p.m., when the Walking and Hiking committee welcomes Sonia Buist, author of the newly released second edition of Around

& About Mount Hood: Timberline Trail, Access Trails & Other Day Hikes. Buist has written a handy pocketbook guide that explains how to break the Timberline Trail into eight segments, hiking either clockwise or counterclockwise. The guide also includes excellent day hikes that access the Timberline Trail. The presentation is open to members and guests. There is no charge, but registration is appreciated to ensure adequate seating for everyone. Register online under special events on the Walking and Hiking homepage, or call 503-517-7539. Come early at 6:30 p.m. to meet Buist at a book signing. Meet some of the hikers who traversed every mile of every trail in this book, and assisted Buist in revising this second edition. – Linda Starr WM

ew MAC athletic member Christian Tujo kicked off the new year a couple of days early with the Canby Animal Meet in December. The meet offers three separate divisions, the Grand Animal, Animal and Sprint Animal. Tujo took on the Animal distances, including the 500-yard freestyle, the 200 individual medley and the 100-yard butterfly. Tujo, 41, placed second overall in the division, and first in all three events for his age group (40-44).

Chehalem short course meet Mike Peyton, Scot Sullivan and Brent Washburne took to the pool for the annual Chehalem Masters Meet in Newberg in January. The swimmers returned to MAC with a fist full of first-place finishes. Peyton, swimming in the 55-59 age group, took the checkered flag with four firstplace finishes. He won all three freestyle distances, 50, 100 and 200. He showed his diversity with a win in the 100 backstroke as well. Scot “Sully” Sullivan continued his impressive run with four wins and one second-place finish. Sullivan began his assault on masters swimming in August of last year at the Gil Young Meet. He has lost 25 pounds and continues to post personal bests at every meet he attends. Sullivan has been working on his breaststroke in practice, and it showed in this meet, as he clocked a personal best in the 50 and 100 breaststrokes. For the team’s workhorse, Brent Washburne, it was just another day at the office. Washburne handily won the 50 and 100 freestyles and placed third in the 100 breaststroke. These MAC swimmers are in great early-season form.

Dancers and Instructors Win Highest Awards

his year’s 16 MAC company dancers recently entered their first competition of the season, the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) regional competition in January. This was also the very first competition for the seven youngest dancers in MAC’s new Junior Company. MAC dancers performed 11 different dances and received their highest scores to date. The weekend also included two days of workshop classes in a variety of styles, taught by talented, celebrity instructors. More than 700 dancers from throughout the region performed more than 250 pieces in the Friday and Saturday evening competitions. Our relatively small company of 16 dancers fared extremely well. The MAC Company received three critics’ choice nominations, chosen by the faculty judges as their overall favorites. The MAC Company also received four individual dance scholarships (out of approximately 40 total awarded), six platinum awards (the highest rating), six high-score awards, nine distinguished-achievement awards and the studio versatility award. MAC was most honored to receive the studio versatility award, which is given by the NYCDA faculty to one studio to recognize and commend its training of dancers in a wide variety of styles – ballet,

modern, jazz, musical theater, tap, hip hop and contemporary. The award is a great honor because it reflects the priority in the MAC Company program to prepare the dancers in all areas of the dance field, including preparation for rigorous collegiate dance programs, as well as all aspects of the professional dance world. The faculty’s versatility award and the critics’ choice nominations also reflect the MAC Company’s priority to present dance pieces that showcase the skills of MAC dancers in an artistically sound, professional and age-appropriate manner. The MAC dance coaches, instructors and choreographers deserve this recognition for their dedication, hard work and talent. The individual awards and scholarships included: outstanding dancer scholarships to Anna Dickson and Sydney Mesher; a ballet scholarship to Piper Kizziar; and a future star scholarship to Eric Stucky. Outstanding dancer finalists included Sarah Gish, Natalie Press, Natalie Shershow and Lauryn Wilk. Sydney Mesher performed a contemporary solo, and received a platinum award, the third highest score of 30 teen solos, and distinguished achievement awards for outstanding choreography, artistry and interpretation. Anna Dickson performed a contemporary solo, and received a platinum award, the fifth highest score of 30 teen solos, and distinguished achievement

AT H L E T I C S awards for outstanding choreography and interpretation. The four MAC dances receiving the highest platinum awards and the highest overall score awards were the teen musical theatre dance, Box of Secrets (critics’ choice nomination; second place teen musical theatre), the teen hip hop dance, Symphony Revisited (critics’ choice nomination; third place teen lines), teen contemporary dance, Distant Journey (critics’ choice nomination; fourth place teen contemporary), and teen tap dance, Rockin’ in Rhythm (second place teen tap, award for outstanding style). The growing strengths of the MAC Company’s ballet performances were recognized by two gold awards: teen ballet (en pointe), Moonlight Waltz (plus award for outstanding staging); teen ballet, Butterflies (plus award for outstanding staging). The teen tap dance, Harajuku, received a gold award, and the teen jazz dance, Everybody, received a high silver award. The new Junior Company, a MAC developmental company for younger dancers, performed in the youngest age category and received a high silver award plus an award for outstanding staging for their delightful performance of a jazz dance, Sunny Side of the Street. The 2012-13 MAC Company dancers are: Lizzie Allcock, Lizzy Allen, Cassie Cook, Anna Dickson, Sarah Gish, Piper Kizziar, Sylvie Martin, Sydney Mesher, Natalie Press, Natalie Shershow, Jana Sillay, Eric Stucky, Courtney Sprouse, Ava Vossoughi, Lauryn Wilk and Sarah Wong. The 2012-13 MAC Junior Company dancers are: Hannah Crouser, Haley Kekow, Mackenzie Knutson, Lilly Mildenberger, Carlin Phillips, Sophia Pizzuti and Katie Wei. – Kathy Dodds WM

Early Birds Urge Members to Come Clean

ike the Early Birds, surely many MAC members have household items they no longer need, which may be useful to neighbors starting from scratch. All members are invited to “Come Clean” and donate lightly used household items to the Community Warehouse. It’s time for cleaning out cupboards, drawers and cabinets; cleaning off counters and shelves; and cleaning out closets. From Monday, April 8 through Sunday, April 14, members can conveniently contribute household items to be recycled to families moving from homelessness into new homes by leaving them in a collection barrel near Athletic Services. Especially needed are kitchen utensils, pots and pans, towels, tableware, manual can openers and alarm clocks. Fragile items such as dishes should be carefully packed. Pick-up of furniture items is available. The warehouse works with more than 150 social service agencies and fulfills more than 50 requests a week. All donations of goods to Community Warehouse are tax-deductible. Members are encouraged to visit the Community Warehouse Estate Store, at 3969 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., where more valuable items, including antiques and collectables, are sold to support the work of the rest of the Warehouse.

Ease Aches and Pains with Pilates Reformer

o you or someone you know suffer from body aches and pain from an on going injury or post-surgery? Do you find yourself reaching for the ibuprofen throughout the day just to get through basic activities? You’re not alone. Most of us have been affected by body aches and pains, leaving us feeling hopeless and tired by the end of the day. If you have tried everything without relief, you may find the gentle lengthening movements of Pilates to be what you have been missing. Pilates is a whole-body fitness system that has proven to have long-lasting health benefits. Many people think that you need to be physically fit to do Pilates, but this is not true. Doctors and physical therapists often recommend Pilates as a way to rehab after injury or surgery, or as an alternative to surgery. All you need is a desire to heal and a willingness to give your body the time it deserves.

Lengthen and strengthen What makes Pilates so therapeutic is that it addresses the underlying structural imbalances in the body that lead to pain in the first place; issues like a lack of core support, pelvic instability, muscular imbalances, poor posture and lack of body awareness all affect how your body feels. Pilates teaches you how to engage the proper muscles for improved strength and stability, to benefit every part of your body. Many of the exercises are designed to help lengthen and strengthen the spine

to reduce compression, which can be a major cause of pain in the back. Pilates teaches the student how to strengthen and stabilize the joints. This is especially true for those who have had knee, hip or shoulder-replacement surgery and have not yet gained back full range of motion. For example, Pilates can teach one how to stabilize the shoulder by strengthening the supporting muscles, such as the rotator cuff muscles. For those who have had a hip replacement, Pilates can help teach them how to strengthen the inner and outer thigh muscles and smaller outer hip muscles that support healthy hip function.

and helps you to rotate easier and more freely while keeping the spine properly supported over the pelvis. Just as important, the Pilates system teaches you how to fully breathe again. You will regain vital movements of the spine that have been lost. Breathing properly renews your spine’s resiliency and brings back that youthful ability to bend, twist and arch. It is wonderful to hear from my clients that they aren’t in pain anymore and witness them move and live with a better sense of overall health and well being.

Finding the core?

Here is a testimonial from a 55-yearold student. “I met Rebecca after my doctor diagnosed my leg pain as the result of nerve impingement caused by changes in my vertebrae positions and extensive degeneration of my discs and facet joints. The pain severely limited my everyday activities and I was taking 10-12 Advil per day. When I started working with Rebecca, my goal was to avoid back surgery and manage my pain with as little medicine as possible. After taking two Pilates classes per week for 11 months, I am walking long distances, hiking, rowing, gardening and biking with little or no pain. I am taking one Advil per day. Rebecca created a short program of daily Pilates exercises for me to help prevent pain and stiffness. I am now able to protect my spine while participating in activities with energy and stamina.” – Rebecca Perry WM

Many people come to Pilates hoping to relieve back pain. It does not matter whether it is from sitting all day long, from years of being an athlete or dancer, or from something as simple as the wrong move when getting up in the morning. For many people, the pain is due to a weak core. But what does that really mean? Pilates teaches you how to feel and activate all of your abdominal muscles, key to supporting your spine and aiding in proper breathing. The exercises teach you how to sense and find your center to achieve the best alignment for your body. Pilates helps you find muscles that are under-utilized, such as the low belly, transversus muscle that pooches our stomachs from lack of support. With mindful breathing, you learn how to support your mid-back by opening your chest during rotating movement. This helps you to be less tight in the mid-back,

Who Has the Best Bench? Let’s Find Out

he Exercise and Conditioning Committee encourages the young and not so young to show off their stuff at the annual Bench Press Competition starting Saturday, April 13. Participants are divided by male and female into five age divisions: teen (14-20), open (21-33), master (34-46), senior master (47-64) and golden master (65 years and older). Each participant is allowed three attempts to accomplish his or her best lift. Failure in any of the three attempts ends the trial and the last successful lift is the final score. The competition is based on the traditional free-weight bar competition, although members can choose to participate in a noncompetitive format performing a 90-degree bench press. Each competitor may compete in the best lift for age category and best ratio (best lift/body weight) for their age category. Looking for motivation? Check out last year’s trophy board to admire Doug Brenner’s lift of 365 pounds in the teen category, and Steve Johnson’s 385-pound lift in the senior category. And, let’s not forget to mention MAC athletes such as Nick Munly, who travels the country to lift and win in world masters powerlifting competitions. Sign up in the E&C Room or call the Fitness Office at 503-517-7543. The competition ends at 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 28. WM

New to Karate? Here’s What to Expect in Class T

here are many different perceptions about what karate is and what happens in a traditional karate class. Here is what a new student can expect from a MAC karate class. The beginning of each class involves the warm up, when the body is prepared physically and mentally to safely participate in class. Members practice exercises that warm up large muscle groups, loosen up joints and lightly stretch smaller muscle groups. It is also important to note that conditioning the body occurs throughout the training session as well. The first element of the MAC karate program is the study of kihon (pronounced kee-hone) or basics. Though the sporting component of karate brings a competitive element to the martial art, it all starts with a strong understanding of basic technique. Students learn fundamental movement for stances, blocks, punches, kicks and strikes, as well as proper breathing. The comparison can be made to the foundation of a house. It takes the most time to build, but when done correctly, the home is strong with room to grow. Kihon is practiced within a variety of formats that include the use of partners, target shields, focus mits and heavy bag. Students are also required to learn Kata (pronounced ka-tah). These are the formal exercises of karate and their study is an integral part of our program. Kata are made up

New karate students learn Kata, a series of movements. of a series of logical arrangements of kicking, blocking, striking, and punching techniques into a set sequence. In the early stages the kata are taught just by practicing the foot movement. Kumite (pronounced koo-mi-ta) is sparring. Though not practiced during the beginning class, training with a partner is seen at all levels. Kumite is broken down into different levels. These levels of prearranged kumite contain the essential

elements of karate training that include salutation, stances, body movements, punching, kicking, striking and blocking that are performed alternately by each partner. Over the last two or three decades the competitive element of karate has surfaced. Rules have been changed to allow competitors to be rewarded for more difficult scoring techniques. This also makes the competitions more exciting for the audience. The MAC karate program and other affiliate dojos (karate schools) of the Japan Karate Federation have over the years successfully trained competitors for local, state, national and international competitions. The MAC karate program continues to offer its students training for competitions from local to international arenas. The MAC karate program offers a seven-week class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45 p.m.-6:15 p.m. There is no age limit, but we ask that parents evaluate their child’s ability to stay focused for 30 minutes. Parents are always welcome to assist their child in class. The cost for the class is $32, which includes a karate gi (uniform) and white belt. Upon completion of the course, students receive a patch to be sewn onto their gis. Experience has shown that many students, especially young students, take the beginners class more than one time. A new class begins the first Tuesday of every odd month. Beginners classes run throughout the year. The MAC karate program also provides instruction for intermediate and advanced students. Accommodations can be made for adults in a non-beginner class time. – Bill Plapinger WM

Women’s Self-Defense Class Draws a Crowd

large and enthusiastic crowd attended MAC karate’s women’s self-defense course in February. Sensei Bill Plapinger (a third-degree black belt) emphasized the best defense is avoidance; for example, being aware of one’s surroundings and making smart decisions about where one walks or runs. Choosing well-lit streets, being able to hear (not wearing headphones) and being with a partner are all components of awareness and avoidance. Carrying oneself with confidence – walking tall with one’s head up – is another key ingredient to self defense. Attendees learned that if avoiding or escaping a situation fails, then using whatever is at hand for protection, keys or pens for example, can be very effective at startling or injuring an attacker, buying valuable time to both escape and scream for help. Participants learned several different methods for breaking holds on shoulders, arms and wrists, and kneeing and kicking to vulnerable areas, all of which were practiced. If interested in making self-defense classes a monthly or quarterly occurrence, contact Keri Donovan at kdonovan@themac.com. WM

Synchro Juniors Spring into Competitions

he competition season is heating up for the junior synchro program as they head into the spring months. The 13-and-over squads started off the early part of their routine season by participating in the West Zone Championships at the Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center in Beaverton in February. This event featured teams from California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington and Oregon. Highlights included the MAC’s new robot-themed combo routine, the 13-15 “Usher” team and the junior “Iris” Cirque du Soleil team. Results were unavailable at press time, but can be found on the synchro webpage. This event was followed a week later by a trip to Riverside, Calif. for the Orange Blossom Invitational in March, where they were joined by the 11-12 age group squad. This was held in the same facility that hosts this summer’s U.S. Age Group Championships, so it was a good test of the girls’ abilities in the championship pool and against teams they face this summer. The novice squad and age-group level squads compete locally at the Oregon AgeGroup Meet and Novice Invitational on Saturday, April 6, held in the West Pool in the afternoon. This is a qualifier for the regional age-group championship, which is held in Beaverton, May 18-19. Also this month, the age-group and intermediate squads head to Tacoma, Wash., for the Classic Invitational Meet, which features

teams from all over the Pacific Northwest. This is a lead-up to May’s regional, where many of the same teams compete to qualify for the U.S. Age-Group Championship. In national team news, junior Elli Wiita heads to U.S. Nationals in Greensboro, N.C., in April to not only compete in the solo event, but also to participate in the second phase of the junior national team trials. If she makes the cut, she participates in the final phase of team trials, held in May in Walnut Creek, Calif., where national teams are announced for international competitions this summer. Her teammates Renee Zhang and Grace Yang have been on a similar path, having tried out for the 13-15 and 12-under national teams, respectively, during phase 1 trials in February, where Zhang placed 18th out of an unusually large field of over 70 athletes, making the cut to phase 2, which will be in Walnut Creek in May. Yang finished in 39th place in the 12-under trials, which completes her attempt this year. Anyone interested in seeing synchro performed live should save the date – Friday, May 10 at 6 p.m. – for the synchro program’s spring exhibition in the West Pool. This is the largest annual exhibition where all levels and ages of swimmers from the program perform routines in an evening that celebrates synchro and the history of the program here at the club.

he 2013 squash season is well under way, with participation up in all ages and skill levels. Both junior and adult programs are seeing greater involvement as the Sunday junior team, singles box league and doubles leagues continue to see development of players of all ages.

MAC junior boys and girls captured first place or runner-up in six of eight age groups. The Rose City Classic also saw MAC adults enjoying success. Alex Burt took third place in the men’s 50-plus division, and Matthew Bassist took first place in the men’s 40-plus division.

MAC Takes State 10 and Under Short Course by Storm

ADVERTISER INDEX

wenty MAC athletes participated at the Oregon Swimming 10 and Under Championship in Springfield in February. It was the largest contingent at a short course championship meet in the last decade and seven athletes finished top three in their respective events, including relays in every age group. Beau Lonnquist, 9, and Cody Soo, 10, experienced the most individual success with wins in multiple events. Lonnquist defended his 2012 victories in the 100 individual medley and the 50 and 100 backstrokes while also swimming Age Group Sectional qualifying times in all three events. He also won the 50 freestyle in his first time swimming the event at a championship meet. Soo, competing in his last 10-and-under state, won the 50 and 100 butterfly and backstrokes. Both boys joined Peter Hinnen and Jon Westlake in the 200 medley and free relays to take second overall. Cameron Chen, 8, and Matthias Kreutzer, 8, each placed first in one event, Chen in the 50 breaststroke and Kreutzer in the 25 backstroke. The boys paired with Olin and Will Gilster in the 100 free and medley relays to take second in both. Other athletes finishing top three were Tory Schnebly in the 50 breaststroke, Jon Westlake in the 100 individual medley and Peter Hinnen in the 100 breaststroke. Although 10-and-under state is not scored, if it were MAC’s team would have placed second place overall.

MAC Places Eighth at Oregon Swimming 11 to 14 Championship The Junior Competitive Swim Team finished eighth at 11-14 state behind strong efforts from 12-year-olds Van Mathias and Doug Heymann and strong relays for both girls and boys events. Twenty-two MAC athletes qualified and swam in the meet, and everyone contributed to help the team to their top-ten finish. Mathias led the team with 45 points as Heymann was a close second with 41. The two boys helped MAC, as they each won two individual events and were difference makers in the 11-12 boys relays. Mathias

Cameron Chen shows off his ribbon from the Club Championships. battled much of the meet with Hillsboro Heat’s Luke Thornbrue, who took home the individual high point award for 12-year-old boys, and finished in a close second in the 100 butterfly and 100 and 200 individual medleys. He broke through and beat Thronbrue in the 50 butterfly in their last race of the four-day meet. Heymann showed great speed for the entire meet and improved his personal bests in every event. He won both the 50 freestyle and the 50 breaststroke. Heymann teamed with Mathias, Kevin Keil and Garrett Smith for the 200 and 400 freestyle relays where they placed second overall, with a third place finish in the 400 medley relay. Keil helped the team in his individual events, dropping nearly 8 seconds in his 200 individual medley to place second overall and finishing with 22 points. The leading scorer on the girls side was Elise Kreutzer, who led the girls to solid finishes in each of the four relays and a third in the 200 freestyle. She swam in finals for all of her individual races on Friday and Saturday. “In a four-day meet the oil really starts showing on Sunday,” coach Spencer Crum said. “The emotional roller coaster of the long meet drains even the best athletes if they don’t manage their emotional and physical output through the meet.” After losing a stellar group of 14-yearold boys last year, MAC still remained strong, showing the rest of Oregon swimming they are as deep as any team. The strong eighth-place finish is a testament to the 22 athletes who showed up in Corvallis and represented MAC. WM
