The Interview Issue

Erin Hubert – 26 Tim Boyle – 28 Earl Blumenauer – 30 Fall Class Guide – insert

Tim Boyle Columbia Sportswear President and CEO

Walter J. Urba, M.D., Ph.D. Director, cancer research, Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center at Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, Providence Cancer Center Education and training • • • •

B.S., Rutgers University Ph.D., UCLA School of Medicine M.D., University of Miami Post-graduate work, National Cancer Institute

Why Providence?

The opportunity to build an immunotherapy research program from scratch was a great attraction. Other key reasons were the vision and support of hospital leaders and major philanthropists Earle M. Chiles and Robert W. Franz.

What’s your dream for Providence Cancer Center?

Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of our patients. This includes leading the first immunotherapy global clinical trial for patients with melanoma and working to offer patients a new OX40-based immunotherapy developed in our labs. We’re working to develop new cancer therapies that help patients worldwide.

What are your hobbies?

Spending time with my grandsons, Ethan and Caleb – swimming, playing catch or chess, going to movies and attending their sporting events. I also enjoy reading, especially biographies and history.

Who were your mentors?

My mother and father.

Her battle with breast cancer had a major influence on how I care for my patients.

And I’m fortunate to have had many professional mentors throughout my career.

What’s a favorite Providence memory?

In 1998, my mentor, Dr. Dan Longo, came here from Harvard Medical School to speak when I received an endowed chair in cancer research from Lynn and Jack Loacker.

Another highlight was getting OX40 to the clinic with the help of our philanthropic community.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

About 70 percent of cancer research at Providence is funded through philanthropy. None of us does this alone. Scientists, doctors, donors – we’re all a team.

We inspire generosity by connecting people with Providence to advance research, health care, and wellness.

Join us. www.providencefoundations.org

Dan Oseran, M.D. Executive medical director, Providence Heart Institute Chair, Providence Cardiovascular Leadership Council Education and training • Harvard College • U.C. San Diego Medical School • University of Washington • Cedars Sinai Medical Center

Why Providence?

I grew up in Portland, so it feels good to give back to my home town. It’s especially rewarding to work for an organization whose values are lived out every day. Providence is a unique organization that remains steadfast to its history and mission – while also advancing cutting-edge cardiovascular care for the next 50 years.

What’s your dream for the Heart Institute?

Our goal is to be recognized as the leading provider of patient-centered cardiovascular care on the West Coast and to be a national leader in how we think about and address heart disease prevention and wellness.

What are your hobbies?

I collect books, mostly first editions of 19th and 20th century British and American literature.

Also, Portland is a great town for food. There’s a great little pizza place in the Cully neighborhood that’s like going back in time. I won’t tell you exactly where it is … finding it is part of the fun!

Who were your mentors?

I really admire Dr. Leonard Cobb, who was at the University of Washington when I studied there.

He got me interested in sudden cardiac death, which ultimately led to my career in electrophysiology.

Also, I learned a lot from Dr. Jeremy Swan at Cedars Sinai, who co-invented the pulmonary artery balloon catheter.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

Donor support always helps us advance care for our patients.

Just as one example, we have one of the top sites in the country for replacing aortic valves with catheters instead of open heart surgery. We couldn’t have done that without donor support.

Philanthropy helps us innovate, grow programs, and attract physicians who are visionary and committed to being the best.

ince my past few columns have been about issues at MAC and what the Board of Trustees has been doing to address them, I thought it was time to let MAC members know more about a few of its board members.

John Helmer III

adult beverage. Her people skills are evident in her success as a residential real estate broker with Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty in Lake Oswego. Martin’s favorite alcoholic beverage is high-quality tequila, straight.

Todd Husband

Robert Radler PRESIDENT

Helmer is best known as the owner and operator of a store offering exquisite men’s clothing – but he is so much more than that. It did not take long to see that beneath Helmer’s engaging and humorous personality is a keen and astute business sense. His observations during board meetings invariably go to the heart of the issue. What few people know about Helmer is that, just after college, he partly financed his winters as a ski bum by holding a summer job in an Alaska logging camp. He started out working in the logging camp kitchen. The camp supervisor soon realized the talents Helmer demonstrated in the kitchen might be put to better use. Thus, the rest of the summer Helmer was employed using explosives to reduce big boulders to small rocks.

Grant Yoshihara Yoshihara, along with David Brezinski, is spearheading the further development of MAC’s strategic plan. Yoshihara is senior vice president of operations at Northwest Natural Gas and has been instrumental in developing that company’s strategic plan. I have watched Yoshihara and Brezinski deftly oversee the strategic planning process, and I look forward to seeing their wizardry in completing the plan. Yoshihara’s background may seem a bit surprising for role at Northwest Natural Gas, however. Yoshihara was born and raised in Ontario, Oregon, and he has a degree in nuclear engineering from Oregon State University. His stories of growing up in that rural setting range from the necessity of working at the family farm, playing every sport offered and even entertaining friends with black gunpowder detonations.

Laura Martin Martin is an anomaly. She is a certified public accountant and true to her vocation, she is very comfortable with financial questions, spreadsheets and equations. Where Martin does not fit the CPA stereotype is her extraordinary people sense and her favorite

Husband is the most gregarious person on the board, and it seems everyone at MAC knows him. Walking anywhere in the club with him is like being with a celebrity.

Husband cannot get more than about 10 steps without a member wanting to talk to him. Most know Husband brings his experience as an entrepreneur and small business owner to the board. But what only a few members know is that Husband has a penchant for travel, and his stories are delightful.

One of my favorites is from a trip he took shortly after college. Husband was traveling in Europe and happened to be in Munich, Germany, during the Oktoberfest celebrations. Todd, being Todd, soon found himself sitting at a beer tent table with several Germans and Australians who were having some type of contest where the “winner” drinks beer. Doing his best to represent the USA, Husband clearly recalls he won. I’m sure it was only the excitement of winning that led him to immediately purchase and wear one of those cute Bavarian hats.

D’Anne O’Neill O’Neill is a licensed clinical social worker and works with the elderly to resolve medical, social and mental health services issues.

While other folks with her training and work experiences have the ability to read people, O’Neill has demonstrated such a strong talent in this area that I will never ask her to analyze me. Her ability to listen to what a person says and how he or she says it, sift through the information, and then accurately predict that person’s future statements and actions is nothing short of uncanny. Fortunately for us on the MAC board, O’Neill is using her skills to help us judiciously address people-related issues.

Also, fortunately for us, she has not shared her assessments of her fellow board members, at least not publicly.

I only have enough room in this column to devote a paragraph to each of these five randomly selected board members. Yet each of the 12 people on the board is thoughtful, knowledgeable and worthy of much more than a paragraph. WM

n late May and June, our staff directors and leadership development team joined forces to learn about leadership skills.

Staff directors on our executive management team include Facilities Norm Rich Director and Assistant GENERAL MANAGER General Manager Elsa Lemoine, Athletic and Wellness Director Phil Galvin, Food and Beverage Director Cameron McMurry, Member Services Director Josie Henderson, Marketing and Communications Director Jen Scott, Human Resources Director Alison Beppler, Controller Heather Bulloch, Technology Director Karen Ortiz and Community Relations Manager Martha Richmond, who all report directly to me.

Our leadership development team is composed of Events and Catering Manager Abby DenUyl, Banquet Services Manager Matt Carter, Membership Manager Dave Hanna, Assistant Athletic Director Lisa Virtue, Gymnastic Manager Meg Doxtator, Facilities Manager Cole Lathrop and Managing Editor Tony Roberts. They are developing into potential future club leaders. I am proud to be partnering with them, getting to know them better personally and professionally, and looking for opportunities for them to stretch and become MAC leaders. I’m proud to say several on our leadership development team have been promoted recently, earning larger responsibilities.

Authentic leadership is guided by people who are self-aware and genuine. They are mission driven and focused on results. We try to lead with our hearts and focus on the long term. At MAC, we strive to mine the diamonds hidden in our experiences. While all this sounds theoretical, we try to put these concepts into everyday practice to make club membership more meaningful.

In late June, I had the opportunity to gather at a conference of the City Athletic Club Managers (CACM), an event MAC hosted last year. This year’s conference was held at the Cherokee Town and Country Club. Recently we agreed to a reciprocal agreement to share facilities between our two clubs. It is a beautiful facility that I encourage our members to enjoy when in Atlanta. Participating with this group of

presidents, CEOs and general managers was worthwhile as we discussed common issues and opportunities. While away for a few days, our executive management team operated MAC and ensured members were well served.

I serve on the board of directors of the Platinum Clubs of America and will have the opportunity to meet with fellow managers of some of the best clubs in the world in September to conduct the business of the association, learn from them, and contribute to our organization and the Platinum Clubs of America. Associating with some of the industry’s leaders compels me to be better at what I do and to make our club better than ever. We have many great people on staff that work to make members’ experiences meaningful. I am grateful to work with professionals who serve MAC members with their hearts, souls and a desire to please. MAC is well respected by our members, reciprocal clubs and the club industry around the world. We have an organization that works well and a caring membership that partners with staff to make MAC special.

On June 22, the club hosted a reception for successful lottery participants and their sponsors. Over 800 people joined the celebration, which will be the primary way new members are introduced to the club over more than three years. New members are brought in as vacancies are created. Lifelong friendships and relationships often begin at these receptions and continue before, during and after membership.

During my years at the club, I have had the opportunity to make meaningful connections, some that will be lifelong. I have had the opportunity to watch many members’ children grow up and begin their own families; some will become legacy members.

Management hopes to spread the lessons of authentic leadership, allowing members to see the benefits and merits of our learning and training.

At the end of this month, we begin to make the transition into fall with great summer memories. In early September, we celebrate Labor Day and all the contributions and achievements of American workers. We are grateful for the services they render, the competitive spirit they create and the enjoyment they bring to our members.

We want your membership to be authentic, memorable and lifelong! WM

Club Scoreboard

hope this edition of The Winged M finds you relaxing on a warm, summer evening. Reading the content of the club’s magazine has been extremely helpful in my first few months here at MAC. As I flip from page to page, the depth of what is available to the members is truly remarkable. Marketing Director Jen Phil Galvin Scott and her team should be ATHLETIC AND WELLNESS DIRECTOR very proud of their efforts in presenting such a colorful, informative and comprehensive monthly piece.

While working in the private club industry for the past 20 years, I have seen my share of summer camp programming. Much credit goes to Mike Donovan for his organizational efforts. Be assured, there is no other private club in the country presenting a camp menu like MAC’s. What an unbelievable opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime. I did witness our president, Bob Radler, trying to sneak into Gladiator Camp. Ha, kidding of course!

I’m not sure how many of you had the chance to attend the Street Fair in June, but it was equally impressive. MAC’s dance team put on a fantastic show; the skill level of the dancers was off the charts. Kudos to the dance leadership of Laura Haney, Erin Zintek, Maria Tucker and Cameron Dupon.

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.

One of the things you learn quickly while working at a club like MAC is that working out and taking care of yourself is a must. Staff members get not only the physical and mental benefits, but also the opportunity to see the club through members’ eyes, allowing them to be in touch with what is actually going on in the club. One of the more impressive things I’ve observed while using the Exercise & Conditioning Room is members taking the time to clean and wipe their machines off after using them. I want to thank everyone who takes the time to do so. By working together, we can absolutely keep the club’s cleanliness at a five-star level.

We’ve Moved As some are aware, the office space in the E&C Room that housed me, Assistant Athletic and Wellness Director Lisa Virtue and Administrative Assistant Sarah Burchard has been relocated to the third floor. As you enter the club on the third-floor skybridge, continue down the hallway and to the left. Our office is located just past the office of the general manager. Please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello. The office space that we vacated in the E&C Room will be transitioned into space for our wellness efforts, including private yoga, physical therapy, nutrition and more. Watch for additional communication as those efforts are executed. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB As a freshman on the Yale Men’s Varsity Tennis Team, Dylan King posted a 32-5 singles record and in the process set the Yale record for most singles wins in a season. King competed primarily at the No. 3 position, where he had wins against players from a number of top-ranked teams, including No. 11 UC Berkeley, No. 21 Cornell, No. 26 Columbia and No. 26 Old Dominion. During the fall season, King won four straight matches to earn a berth into the ITA DI National Championship Qualifying Draw, where he went on to defeat the 72nd ranked player in the country. His most notable win of the season was against the Cal Bears, when he defeated the 71st ranked player in the nation.

The Southern Oregon University Sports Hall of Fame is inducting member John Popplewell in its class of 2017. Popplewell, who is the reigning Oregon State Doubles champion in the men’s 70 division, has played competitively his entire life. He was a four-year letterman on two-time state runner-up Marshfield High School in Coos Bay. During his career at SOU, he was part of a historic win against Oregon State University, the only SOU team to ever beat an OSU team in any sport. Since playing for the Raiders, John has won 296 championship titles in singles, doubles and team events.

He has been ranked No. 1 in the Pacific Northwest Section of the USTA 19 times since 2000.

Oregon Episcopal School sophomore Emma Wetsel qualified for the U.S. National Climbing Team in speed climbing in the 13- and 14-year-old age group during U.S. Nationals in Kennesaw, Georgia, in July. Wetsel’s last run was a personal best, and helped her moved up to fourth place in the country in her age group. In fact, she set a new personal best each day at national championships. She will now compete in Innsbruck, Austria, at Youth World Championships in September 2017 with two other teammates. Wetsel was also the Region 102 speed climbing champion, and placed second in Division 1 in speed climbing. She has a love for math, science, art and community service.

Cameron Webb, age 25, was born and raised in Portland, graduating from Lincoln High School in 2010, then attending college in Minnesota, where he played baseball and basketball. He works at Nike as a global procurement analyst, and spends time coaching baseball at Lincoln High School and keeping fit at MAC. Sports have always been a major part of his life.

Some of his earliest memories are of spending childhood summers at MAC sports camps, and learning from a lot great coaches who still work here. Since moving back to Portland from college, he’s been active in MAC Basketball and the decathlon. He enjoys the MAC Decathlon as a way to compete against himself, pushing to reach new goals.

Janet M. Schroer has been an active participant in the decathlon for the past few years at the urging of her friend and neighbor Bob Masin. She had open heart surgery in 2009 and wanted to prove to herself thereafter she could still do things athletically. Growing up with four athletic siblings, Schroer has been competitive all her life.

Being a working mom, while raising her kids, she largely just ran, since that was all she had time to do. The decathlon has been a fun way for her to do new things and push herself to get back into activities she used to do.

Schroer is a lawyer by trade practicing for more than 35 years now, doing appellate work and representing professionals in malpractice and licensing matters.

AUGUST 2017

Decathlon winner Alicia Ahn has been a member since 2002, when she married John Rush. Ahn practices medicine, has two daughters, Lucy and Eloise, and enjoys trail running, swimming, cycling, cooking and planning family adventures.

Her next ride includes Idaho’s Rails to Trails!

However, if you ask her what she really lives for, she might break into a smile and tell you the MAC Decathlon! This year was her fourth time participating. Ahn says, “Training and competing in the MAC Decathlon requires executive brain function, fast twitch muscle fibers, slow twitch muscle fibers, patience, perseverance, comradery and a sense of humor – all good things to pack in your suitcase for healthy aging!”

ADMINISTRATIVE The college-preparatory school serves a racially diverse student body from North and Northeast Portland, and its 3A athletics require a cost to participate. To ease the financial burden for those in need, the foundation funds a community grant that provides scholarships to nearly 100 De La Salle students so they can participate in athletics.

“You meet such wonderful people participating in the decathlon. Friendships are the treasures, not the trophies.” – Bud Lewis

MAF just announced a new fund, The Bud Lewis Grant Fund. The award celebrates his spirit of “sportsmanship, enthusiasm and a passion for athletics.”

MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION

Honoring Bud With MAF Endowment Fund L

eland “Bud” Lewis turns 97 this month, and he’d like the annual MAC Decathlon to add an age category for nonagenarians. A club member for more than 40 years, Bud has triumphed seven times, at ages 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and again at 74.

The decathlon, for now, will maintain its current age categories (which stop at 85).

But there is a new initiative afoot, influenced by Bud. He didn’t request this one but endorses it wholeheartedly.

The Multnomah Athletic Foundation just announced a new fund, and it bears Bud’s name. The Bud Lewis Grant Fund – The Bud Award, for short – celebrates his spirit of “sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and a passion for athletics.”

As Bud himself says, that passion leads to great accomplishments and perhaps

something even more important: “You meet such wonderful people participating in the decathlon,” he says. “Friendships are the treasures, not the trophies.”

MAF Executive Director Lisa Bendt explains why, in addition to Bud’s decathlon prowess and the positive attitude he embodies, he’s the ideal club member for whom to name a new endowment fund.

“Bud has served on more than 50 MAC committees, as secretary of the Board of Trustees and is the recipient or a finalist of almost every award given by the club to its senior members,” she says.

Bud researched the foundation’s current 21 community grant recipients that provide athletic access to and opportunities for underserved youth, and he chose De La Salle North Catholic High School as the inaugural recipient of his eponymous award.

Bud’s particular soft spots are volleyball and water polo, but he loves all sports.

“This gentleman simply oozes enthusiasm for sport,” Bendt says.

He places great import on education, too, explains Sheri Clostermann Anderson, a writer, MAC member and lifelong friend of Bud’s whose book about him will be published this fall.

In A Strong Grip: The Stories of Portland’s Bud Lewis, an Ageless Icon, Anderson writes about a Bud-ism from his days as a driving instructor. Bud would tell his students as they settled into the driver’s seat, “Don’t try to impress someone behind the wheel. Do it in academics and athletics.”

With a strong focus on both, De La Salle North Catholic High School truly exemplifies what Bud has emphasized in his own rich life and for those in his wide sphere of influence and inspiration.

Aaliyah Joseph, a rising senior, says school sports provide much more than just fitness.

“Participating in athletics is another way for me to express my passion and desire to not only compete my hardest,” Joseph says, “but also exemplify my skills as a leader and teammate.”

Anderson writes of Bud in her book, “Physical fitness has had a lifelong importance to him.”

She continues, “It has taken him through his school years, through the military [he served in the South Pacific during WWII with the Oregon National Guard] and the decathlon years, and on to his current swimming and weight-lifting regimes. The benefits have been clear. At 97 his grip remains strong.”

In Memoriam Susan Mitchell Emery Dec. 29, 1939-May 21, 2017 Susan Emery passed away peacefully on May 21, 2017 at her home in Tigard, surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Over the past fourteen months, Susan fought a courageous battle against brain cancer. A devoted wife, mother, grandma and friend, Susan loved gardening, long walks, Duck football games, the Pendleton Round-Up, spending time with her grandchildren and at her beach house in Gearhart. She was a lifelong Oregonian, attending Beaverton High School and Portland State University. While working at OHSU Dental School Susan met Lee, her husband of 47 years. Together, they managed Lee’s pediatric dentistry practice in Portland and Tigard for over thirty years. Susan was passionate about animals and spent many years volunteering for animal rescue. Over the years, Sue provided a loving and caring home to her beloved corgis and cats, who were constant and loyal companions. Her four-legged friends enjoyed accompanying Sue on evening walks in both Tigard and Gearhart and were by her side while she gardened. Sue was religious about personal fitness and was committed to walking five miles a day regardless of the weather. She completed two Portland Marathons and four Columbia Crossing events in Astoria, Oregon.

She also loved to travel to favorite destinations like Maui, Zihuatanejo, Mexico, Europe, and Glacier National Park. Sue was a fantastic cook as her family and friend can attest. She is fondly remembered by her grandchildren for her Sunday night dinners.

Susan is survived by her husband Lee and her daughters Jennifer, Marsha (Peter) and Elizabeth (William). Her daughter Leslie pre-deceased her. Susan was also the beloved grandmother to Maximus, Evangelina, Jordan, Sam and Betsy. Susan is also survived by her brothers John and Steve Mitchell.

The family thanks the team at Providence Health and Services who provided such excellent and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations in Sue’s name to the Oregon Humane Society.

Beatrice Mary (Paget) Inkster June 15, 1929-June 13, 2017 By the time you got to the top of a chairlift ride with B. Mary, you had made a new friend.

She gave off a sense of fun, excitement, confidence, determination and genuine friendliness that made everybody want to be around her, and made more than one of her children’s friends say that they wanted to be like B. Mary when they grew up. She had an extraordinary knack for making deep and lasting friendships.

B. Mary was born in Portland in 1929 to Lowell and Beatrice Paget. Growing up in Northwest Portland, she attended Ainsworth Elementary and Lincoln High, but spent much of her time in the out of doors. Her family had a farm near Lake Oswego, where she learned to ride horses, make her signature Gravenstein apple crisp and develop her sense of adventure.

Her grandfather B. Lee Paget had a cabin at Camp Sherman where she spent many happy summer days and formed a deep connection to the Metolius River and the forest around it.

She learned to ski at her Uncle Ed Thurston’s ski resort, Hoodoo, and won her first ski race at Timberline because she hadn’t yet learned how to turn. In high school and college, B. Mary became an accomplished outdoorswoman, climbing mountains across the northwest. Skiing became an increasingly big part of her life, and in college, she took a winter off to live and work in Sun Valley, beginning a lifelong association with the mountains and people there. She represented the U.S. in ski races in Europe in 1951-52, but unfortunately broke her leg before the 1952 Oslo Olympics.

B. Mary met Lewis J. (Bud) Inkster, Jr., while skiing at Timberline Lodge, and they married in 1960. They built a house on the family farm and raised three children there, passing along their deep love of the outdoors, their sense of tradition and strong connection with the beauty of the Northwest. As her children grew up, B. Mary began organizing ski trips to Europe, South America and Sun Valley, making and deepening many friendships on the slopes around the world. She remained a ski racer for many years, bookending her career by winning her age group at the national NASTAR championship in 1974 and at the U.S. Master’s national championship in 2003.

B. Mary passed away peacefully at her home on the Metolius River on June 13, 2017, two days before her 88th birthday, accompanied by her son Jim and two close friends. She is survived by her husband, Bud Inkster, her brother Edward Paget, her sister Eileen Crim, her children, Jim Inkster, Mark Inkster and Laura Mittelstadt (and their spouses) and five grandchildren. She will be interred at the Riverview Cemetery.

Eugene “Jeep” Lowe May 14, 1928-May 24, 2017 Eugene “Jeep” Lowe completed his 16-year journey with Alzheimer’s on May 24. He stayed a gentle person throughout his illness. Jeep lost most of his ability to speak, but he frequently responded to assistance with a “thank you,” including the evening before he died in his sleep.

An Oregon native, Jeep was born in Salem to Jessie and Charles Lowe. He went to Englewood and McKinley Elementary Schools, Leslie Junior High and Salem High School. He

was active in sports including football, basketball, track, fast pitch softball and horseshoes, and also was president of the National Honor Society.

Jeep enlisted in the Army in May of ’45 as he completed his senior year. He was called to Fort Lewis where, after the receiving officer discovered he could type, he spent his entire year of duty processing discharge papers for soldiers leaving the service.

When Jeep was discharged, he entered Willamette University with the goal of graduating with his class. This meant special workshops and some 20-hour semesters. This included satisfying his science requirement his last year in a 7:30 a.m. biology class that included a 17-year-old freshman with a long braid, Ellen Marie Christiansen. They married after she graduated and became the U of O municipal reference librarian.

Jeep maintained a lifetime association with Willamette through alumni leadership, chairing many scholarship and capital fund appeals. In 1972, Jeep was honored with the Willamette Alumni Citation Award.

Jeep joined MAC in 1954. He was immediately recruited for the MAC “B” basketball team and then also volleyball competition. He added his family to membership three years later so his daughter could begin swimming lessons with Jack Pobochenko as her coach.

Jeep chaired both the basketball and volleyball committees and was a charter participant in the Early Birds and the MAC Decathlon.

When the family returned to Portland in ’85, until illness intervened, he was a regular on the exercise bicycle and then would have lunch in the Men’s Bar. Jeep’s job history began at age 14. He started working part time in Salem grocery stores, a pattern that continued until moving to Portland in 1953 to be an assistant in the trust department of the U.S. National Bank. In 1958 he began his career in financial planning, becoming an insurance broker. When he and his family moved to Salem in 1963, he added condominium development to the mix.

Jeep was active in the lives of his children, Kathe and Roger. He was Chief Walking Deer of Indian Guides, coach of an undefeated church league basketball team and chair of the Local School Advisory Committees at Parrish and North Salem Schools.

Jeep needed 24/7 care the last four years of his life. He was able to be at home with his wife until his last month because of the support services of the Kaiser Foundation Palliative and Hospice Care Teams. There also was assistance by the Cedar Sinai Park Adult Day Services Team, the Caring Heart Caregivers, Hopewell Hospice Respite and the Portland Fire Bureau EMD responders. On April 13, Jeep went to Continued on page 22 AUGUST 2017

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 21 the Hillside Care Manor with the continuing participation of the Kaiser Foundation Hospice Team. He received quality comfort care. On May 14, the manor facilitated Jeep’s 90th birthday party with his family, fellow manor residents and their families, for it was also Mother’s Day. Ten days later Jeep died in his sleep.

Jeep is survived by his wife, Ellen Christiansen Lowe, his daughter Kathe Walker (Bob) and son Roger Lowe (Laurie Ashworth), his grandchildren Reggie Walker, Jessi Lowe Salazar (Norris), Jared Lowe (Caitlin) and Justin Lowe.

The family suggests that you consider remembering Jeep through donations to the Faye Sasser Employee Scholarship at the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, 1849 SW Salmon St., Portland, OR 97204; Willamette University Class of ’49 Scholarship, 900 State St., Salem, OR 97301; the Oregon Center for Public Policy, PO Box 69127, Portland, OR 97239 or the Oregon Food Bank.

William D. “Bill” Peek Nov. 8, 1939-June 8, 2017 William D. “Bill” Peek died on June 8, 2017.

22 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2017

He was born to loving parents Donald and Gertrude Peek on Nov. 8, 1939. Bill attended Irvington Grade School and Grant High School, then went to the University of Oregon and graduated with a law degree and lifelong friends from his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. Bill practiced law in Portland with well-known attorney Walter Evans Jr., then with the firm of Grebe, Gross, Peek, Osborne & Dagle, before joining the law firm of Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt, where he remained until his retirement.

Bill was an avid sports fan and had a great affection for the Oregon Ducks. He was a player/coach on one of MAC’s basketball teams, but was a great competitor at any level, yearly battling to win the “golden mallet” at a good friend’s croquet tournament. He loved travel, lively political discussion, trivia of all sorts and dinners out with family and friends. He enjoyed exhibits, the theater, was supporter of local arts and was avid reader.

For years, Bill worked tirelessly on the Ann Louise Litin Memorial Scholarship Committee for students at the University of Oregon School of Law. He volunteered for many causes, one of his favorites was delivering Meals on Wheels.

Bill was a kind and caring person with a rye wit and a man who was described by many friends as a true gentleman. He will be dearly

missed by his wife of nearly 50 years, Judith F. Peek, a granddaughter, Ashley Kafoury of Celia, Washington and a great granddaughter, Rowan, also of Celia.

Bill was predeceased by his sister, Susan Peek, of Mercer Island, Washington, and by his beloved daughter, Courtenay Kafoury, who died in February of 2017.

Bill wished that any contributions in his name go to the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Oregon Health and Science University, care of Dr. Dennis Bourdette or any cause of choice.

John Van Laningham May 31, 1926-June 20, 2017 Born May 31, 1926 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it was his love of family and his ability to put a smile on your face that made John G. Van Laningham one of a kind.

During his life, he became a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. At the age of 17, John enlisted in the United States Navy. He served our country for two years during World War II on the Battleship USS South Dakota BB57.

Upon returning home, he attended business school and developed a successful career as a stock broker. On the night before Thanksgiving in 1948, John met Barbara Schwoch on a blind date through the Junior

ADMINISTRATIVE Chamber of Commerce. The two were engaged on New Year’s Eve of that year and married June 18, 1949. With her by his side, they raised their three children, Larry, Diane and Dennis. He served as a Portland Royal Rosarian as well as on various committees at the Multnomah Athletic Club and Tyee Yacht Club. He was awarded the Multnomah Athletic Club Committee Chairman of the Year in 1975. Although his greatest love in life was Barbara and his family, his second greatest love was golf. He was a member of Riverside Golf and Country Club and served on their board. His other passions included boating, water and snow skiing, traveling, watching old westerns and making everyone and anyone laugh. On June 18, 2017, John and Barbara celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.

John passed June 20, 2017, in Portland with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; children, Larry, Diane and Dennis (Nancy); nine grandchildren, Trista (Dale), Caitlan (Paul), Emily, Danica, Andy (Meghan), Heidi, Taylor, Scott and Courtney (Jake); and two great-grandsons, Parker and Bennett.

Junior Violations of Locker Room Use Recently the club has received complaints of juniors in the Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms in the basement, specifically using the spa areas: whirlpools, saunas, warm and steam rooms. These locker rooms are off limits to persons under 18 years old except on Family Days (Fridays after 5 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays and national legal holidays) when accompanied by an adult caregiver. Children 4 years or older may not enter an opposite gender locker room, even on family days.

Junior boys’ lockers are on the mezzanine level and junior girls’ lockers are in the subbasement.

Age restrictions for locker room and spa area use is one example of the many Club Rules MAC staff is charged with enforcing.

Parents are encouraged to review Club Rules with their children and juniors. Every year the House Committee considers several

ADMINISTRATIVE incidents involving junior members, often resulting in disciplinary action.

Members are ultimately responsible to know and abide by current rules. The most recent version of Club Rules is available on the membership website, and members can always request a paper copy from At Your Service.

Any changes to Club Rules are posted in the monthly Board of Trustees report, significant changes are communicated to the membership in The Winged M and MACtivities.

Winged M Interview

ERIN HUBERT Name a Portland institution, and there’s a good chance Erin Hubert is connected to it. The CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland has served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Trail Blazers, attended the University

of Oregon and Portland State, ran several of the region’s biggest radio stations as vice president/ general manager at Entercom Communications, and served on the boards of the YMCA, OHSU, the Oregon Sports Authority, and the Positive Coaching Alliance, to name a few.

The Portland native now lives in Lake Oswego with her husband of 33 years, Stan. The couple have two sons, Sam and Nick. Hubert, a 30-year MAC member, sat down to discuss her current role and the challenges facing the Boys and Girls Clubs.

You’ve been a MAC member for nearly 30 years. How did you get involved with the club?

I actually got involved through my husband, whom I was dating, when he became a member through a lottery all those years ago. When we got married, I not only gained a terrific husband, I gained a MAC membership! My twin sister, Julie Elkins, has also been a member for years and was a former trustee and treasurer, and her husband, Dave Brezinski, is currently a trustee. My son, Nick, is currently active on a committee – MAC has been a big part of our lives.

So many of the organizations and companies you’ve been involved with focus on athletics.

26 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2017

Have you always been involved in sports?

More or less, although it was pretty low tech when I was young. I grew up playing sports in the streets with neighborhood kids and played organized sports throughout grade school. Once I got into high school, the sports choices for girls were a lot fewer (this was before Title IX) and even more so in college. I skied for a City League team out of college and continue to ski as well as play golf and some tennis in my leisure time, but I haven’t been involved in organized sports for a number of years.

I worked in sports for 12 years with the Blazers, although I considered myself in the business of sports. I also ran a sports radio station, 1080 The Fan, as part of the group of stations I oversaw for Entercom. One of the cool things we were able to do with the station was negotiate a cable simulcast arrangement for our afternoon show, Primetime With Isaac and Suke (two great talents!) with Comcast Sportsnet (CSN), when CSN debuted in 2007. It’s a chance to see the show live and what happens behind the scenes of a live sports show.

At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland, healthy lifestyles is one of our three core youth outcome areas on which we focus, and sports plays a big role. We have inner club

sports leagues that focus on leadership development, and we call them our Leadership Leagues. These leagues are for those youth where school or other elite sports programs may be out of reach. Many of these kids wouldn’t have the opportunity to participate in sports and learn the valuable life lessons that come with playing team sports if not for our Leadership Leagues; so it’s an important component of the work we do.

I read that you were one of the first female executives for the Trail Blazers. Can you talk a little bit about that experience and what it meant to you?

I actually was the Blazers’ first female chief operating officer, so that’s probably what gets mentioned from time to time. I was blessed to work for the organization for 12 years and had the opportunity to do a lot of different things over my time. It’s a wonderful organization with tremendously talented people, which was the best part of working there.

When I started, it was during the NBA finals run with Detroit and Chicago. I was there as we Continued on page 35

Winged M Interview

TIM BOYLE It’s hard to imagine someone knowing his company better than Tim Boyle knows Columbia Sportswear. The president and CEO of the Oregon-based apparel giant has been at the helm since 1970. His grandfather started the business when he fled Nazi Germany for Portland and purchased a local hat company. Huge as they have become, Columbia is still, at its core, a family-run business.

Boyle, a MAC member since 1983, took a few moments to discuss Columbia’s success, golfing at Gearhart, and those iconic commercials with his mom, Gert Boyle.

For many people, the enduring image of you is being encased in ice and run over by a Zamboni. It’s one of the best outdoor commercials around.

How did that come about?

The campaign is still going on. It’s not as much about me anymore, it’s mostly about Gert. It was all about how we test our products using me, primarily, as the test rat.

We filmed that one at an ice rink in Vancouver. On my first trip to Russia, I flew into Moscow, I was jetlagged, I went into the hotel, turned on the TV, and there I was being run over by a Zamboni.

Now that Columbia is such a global and multifaceted brand, it’s easy to forget it started as a family company based in Oregon, and is still run by members of the same family. How does the company’s history and backstory inform what you do?

28 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2017

First of all, I don’t think anyone, including me, ever thought we’d get to be as big as we are, and there are many more great things we can do and more opportunities for the company. I think if you look at the business more as a reflection of your personal abilities rather than the size of the business, that’s maybe what drives all of us. We’re so connected, you just want to make sure it’s a reflection on you and your family and your employees’ activities. I think that’s much more of an incentive than anything else.

A lot of companies have come under fire for excessive CEO pay and severance packages.

You have, at times, drastically reduced your salary. Can you talk about that decision?

Leadership is more than sending out a tweet that criticizes someone. If you really feel strongly about efficiency or cost cutting or making something better, you lead by example. If there is a period in time where we need to be mindful of our costs, than that better be happening at the highest levels.

You’ve held different titles, but you’ve been helping to run the same company for almost 50 years. What does it take to stay

relevant in the same business for such a long time period?

I think if there’s anything I learned, first of all, it’s to listen. Be a good listener and encourage criticism, because it’s easy to get defensive and concerned about people thinking you’re right all of the time.

And in my case, I’m certainly not right all of the time. There are a lot of parts of the business that require talents that I don’t possess, so we better have people who know those parts way better than me. We find people who can help us navigate the various categories of merchandise that we operate in. Once you get those people in place, you need to listen to them.

Over the past couple of decades, Oregon has become a hub for the outdoor apparel industry, from big companies like Columbia and Nike to smaller start-up businesses.

What is it about the Portland area that drives that?

Maybe it’s the water? OK, I think as it relates to Columbia, it really Continued on page 35

Winged M Interview

EARL BLUMENAU Representative Earl Blumenauer’s rise to prominence in Portland politics started long before he became the area’s congressman in 1996. Blumenauer’s political streak started in 1970, when he led a local effort to lower the voting age to 18.

Two years later, he was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives. He also served on the Multnomah County Commission and Portland City Council before moving to his current position. The congressman took a little time during a wild summer in Washington to discuss transportation issues, Portland and the state of the American political system.

You’ve been a MAC member for 20 years. How did you get involved with the club?

Actually, my involvement with Multnomah Athletic Club dates back early in my career as an elected official. The club was a meeting place for a variety of get-togethers and sessions I had over the years – some related to the club, as we worked through neighborhood traffic and livability issues in Goose Hollow. Working collaboratively on things like light rail and transit, I became keenly aware of the important role that the club plays – more than just being the premiere athletic facility in the United States.

You’ve been involved in public service at every level of government, and you’ve been doing it

30 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2017

for more than 40 years! What keeps you going?

It’s hard to describe the satisfaction I get from representing this community. The engagement and commitment people have here is a source of energy and inspiration every day. Many of the projects that we’ve worked on – from streetcar, bicycles, light rail, environmental protections, to innovations in health – have made a difference not just for Oregon, but for the nation. And I like the spirit.

Even though we clearly have problems to contend with, there is a willingness on the part of so many people I represent to be part of the solution. I wouldn’t trade jobs with anyone else.

You’re known for advocating for mass transit, cycling and livable communities. How did growing up in Portland inform those points of view?

I came of age in the midst of controversies about transportation, land use, transit and freeways. I was pleased to play a role in helping us move down the path that we’ve selected, and I think the results speak for themselves. We have one of the finest transit systems in the country. We have the

highest participation of cycling of any big city in the United States.

Strengthening our neighborhoods has made Portland a magnet for bright, young people around the country to move here. All of this was part of the struggle with whether or not we were going to tear a big ditch through the heart of Southeast Portland. This would have removed residents and blocked off five miles of streets.

Instead, we bet on giving people transportation choices.

Betting on strengthening the neighborhoods, improving traffic flow, and giving people choices, has led to the renaissance we have seen in Southeast Portland and beyond. Being in the middle of those struggles had a profound effect on me and on my service for 10 years as Portland’s Commissioner of Public Works.

This demonstrated to me that we could work with people to find alternative solutions rather than spending a lot of money and Continued on page 33

EARL BLUMENAUER Continued from page 30 moving people away to make room for more cars that we have no place to park.

You formed the Bicycle Caucus. Do you ride much? I’m assuming it’s a little tougher to get around on a bike in D.C. I have ridden to work every day for 20 years in Washington, D.C. We have seen dramatic changes in our nation’s capital when it comes to biking. It was fun to fight to get bicycle lanes down the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue, as well as D.C.’s bikeshare program. It is becoming a much more bike-friendly community. I’m proud of what’s happening around the country, from New York to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. The bicycle is coming to prominence, and I think the best is yet to come.

Things are bizarre in the federal government right now. Can you tell us a little bit about the current mood in Washington?

It’s hard to describe the current mood in our nation’s capital. I spent my formative years involved with a different type of politics. In the Oregon Legislature, I worked closely with then-Republican Governor McCall, and with people on both sides of the aisle – Mary Rieke comes to mind, who used to represent the Multnomah Athletic Club. I was actually chair of the Democrats for Hatfield, when the senator was in a very difficult campaign in his last re-election.

We worked together on a bipartisan basis, not disguising philosophical or party differences, but they didn’t trump everything.

Today, one doesn’t know from hour-to-hour what’s coming out of the White House.

There are fierce party divisions, and even the simplest things are unnecessarily difficult. There is some confusion and frustration as both Republicans and Democrats alike try to figure out a presidency unlike any we’ve seen before.

How has Congress changed since you joined in 1996?

The biggest change since I came to Congress is the increasing nature of deep

partisan divisions. All of my major pieces of legislation, and most of the minor ones, start off as being bipartisan. I work to now find issues that bring people together rather than divide them. I find that a little harder to do, but I do see colleagues on both sides of the aisle who would like a change. That’s part of what keeps me going – the hope that the issues I focus on can realize that potential.

What are your top legislative priorities right now?

First and foremost, I’m fighting to protect the values our community holds dear – from health care to the environment to vulnerable communities under attack. At the same time, I’m working to advance marijuana reform, agricultural reform, bikepartisanship, animal welfare, and rebuilding and renewing America. These are issues that bring people together rather than divide them.

They’re not particularly expensive. In fact, they will actually reduce the federal deficit and strengthen the economy. And they are strongly supported by the people I represent. WM

ERIN HUBERT Continued from page 26 transitioned from a championship contending team to a team that didn’t make the playoffs for the first time since we’d won the championship in 1977, and also during the transition from the smallest pro basketball arena in the country (Memorial Coliseum) to the Moda Center. We hosted the Tournament of the Americas, which was basically the playoffs to make the men’s Olympics basketball team (the year of the Dream Team); we were the first team to host an NBA draft outside of New York; and we started up one of the first WNBA teams in the country, The Fire. We tried hard to host an All Star game, but to date, Portland hasn’t been selected, although it’s not been for lack of trying! The Seahawks also became a part of the organization during this time, and it was fun to be a part of getting the business side of an NFL team off the ground. Through it all – winning streaks, losing streaks, positive headlines, challenging headlines, growing pains, etc. – it was a very exciting, rewarding and positive experience. The Blazers give back in so many ways and are a tremendous asset to our community. Portland is lucky to have such a passionate, dedicated owner that makes it possible for us to enjoy this team.

With all of the sports events I’ve been able to experience, I have to say that my alltime favorite sporting moments are those of watching my boys compete and grow throughout their lives!

TIM BOYLE Continued from page 28 is almost purely serendipitous. I think, with me growing up here in a family that skied and fished and hiked and was an outdoor family, that sort of kicked me off on the right foot as it relates to what we make and things people enjoy doing globally. If I would have grown up in Manhattan and been in a family that made sport coats it would have been a different deal. You put together a few molecules and you wind up with something that works.

The company now includes a number of different outdoor brands. What drove those acquisitions?

There were various reasons. The first acquisition was Sorel. Our subsidiary in Canada was run by a guy who grew up wearing Sorels. Being Canadian and growing up 15 miles from where Sorel was founded, he was worried the brand was going to go to someone who didn’t care about it. It was out of the market for two years when we bought it. Mountain

You came to the Boys & Girls Clubs after a long career in business and executive leadership. What drew you to the nonprofit world?

As my sons were graduating college, I started to feel like doing something that would utilize my business experience in a way that could give back more directly to the community. I had participated on a number of nonprofit boards; had gained a fair amount of perspective of the challenges nonprofits face; and was considering a couple of opportunities, when the CEO position at the Boys & Girls Clubs suddenly opened up. I was on the board at the time and actually didn’t consider taking the position initially because of other conversations I was having. However, one of our younger club members committed suicide at that time, and I was devastated by how young he was; I lost a brother to suicide years ago. It struck me immediately at that moment that I wanted to be involved with an organization that worked directly with youth during their formative years with enrichment programs and services that could help set them on a path to a strong future. It’s some of the hardest work I’ve ever done in my career, but without a doubt, also the most rewarding.

Portland is going through a number of socioeconomic changes. Does that change the challenges that the Boys & Girls Clubs faces?

Oh my goodness, does it ever. Trying to stay up with the need with limited resources is a day-to-day challenge. We try to locate our Clubs and school-based sites

Hardware was a terrific brand started by some folks in the industry that I knew well.

Montrail was maybe not our best move.

It was small brand in Washington that we thought was, and is, an interesting move, but we haven’t done as good a job with that brand as Sorel. Prana is a terrific company run by a great group of people. They fit nicely with the strengths we had. We’re not really an acquiring company. We’re more about managing the existing assets we have in the best way possible.

You’re a busy guy, but is it safe to assume you still get out and enjoy the outdoors?

Oh yeah. I like to bird hunt. I like to ski. I play golf. I do some sailing and boating. I don’t do those things as much as I like. When I’m not working, which, unfortunately is not all that often, those are the things I like to do.

Speaking of golf, you purchased Gearhart a few years ago, right?

I own Gearhart. My two kids both played college golf, and they, like everybody else, are better than me. It’s been a really fun project, and it’s been really interesting.

in higher need communities, and there are certainly communities in which we’re not currently located that we wish we could be.

In fact, we recently sold a club facility in the Sellwood community due to gentrification, where we were seeing the higher need populations we had been serving moving south into North Clackamas County.

Thanks to the Clackamas School District, we’re now serving youth in the Oak Grove community in the former Oak Grove Middle School, which is a fabulous facility.

One of the communities that has been hit the hardest due to the negative effects of gentrification and has seen the highest growth in poverty and related challenges is East County, particularly the Rockwood community. We’re in the middle of building a new state-of-the-art club facility on 165th and SE Stark in the heart of Rockwood.

It will be a part of a campus of services serving youth from zero to adult, which is very exciting. There are currently very few services for youth in this community, so this campus is going to be game changing.

Working with Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis and the city staff to make this happen has been just a pleasure. In fact, we currently have a matching grant from the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund for $100,000 where every gift to the project up to $5,000 is matched through the end of this year. So if anyone would like to contribute to making the new Rockwood Club happen, you can donate at bgcportland.org, and your gift will be doubled – we’d be very grateful!

–Tony Roberts WM

Many of us play at a golf course and at some point say, “Hey, why don’t those guys fix that?” Well, I don’t have anyone to blame if I don’t like what’s going on. The McMenamin family is running our restaurant out there and doing a great job.

You’ve taken a couple of notable stances on political issues lately with the travel ban and border tax proposal.

Is that you looking after your company or a product of changing times?

First of all, I don’t know why anyone would care what I say, but there are times and there are observations that, first of all, are important to me personally, and also are important to the company, and when those things collide, I feel obligated to say something. Again I’m surprised anyone listens, but if our government takes action in a way I think is negative for me and the company, then I’ll say something. And really, it’s more directed at our employees, so they know the company stands for certain things, and when we see that our values are not synced, we’re going to say something.

Keep Portland Healthy: How Public Health Impacts You 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24 Oregon has many significant health issues ranging from substance abuse, homelessness and mental health, to obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Challenges related to health access, education, background and economic opportunity further impact these issues creating public health epidemics. While it may seem that these challenges only impact a select few, in reality, public health directly impacts the well-being of all residents in Portland, across Oregon and beyond.

Portland native and Lincoln High School graduate David Bangsberg, the founding dean of the new OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, defines the social determinants of health and explains how they impact various lifestyles. Drawing on his previous work at the Johns Hopkins Medical School in drug- and crimeridden East Baltimore, Bangsberg became determined to end public health disparities worldwide, beginning here in Oregon.

ACTIVITIES MelloMacs Continued from page 47 well as at senior centers and veterans’ centers.

Rehearsals and most concerts are at 7 p.m.

Mondays.

This year the MelloMacs sing the wonderful songs of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. In September, they sing at the Goose Hollow Days, which attracts big crowds, and for military vets on Veteran’s Day. They also have the opportunity to sing Fauré’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall in New York City in June 2018, in a large combined choir with the Balladeers and two other choirs.

One of the benefits of joining the choir is making friends. The group becomes very close singing together every week and meeting after concerts for a drink or a bite to eat.

Lifelong friendships have been made over glasses of wine.

Equally rewarding is performing for senior citizen audiences, who often say these concerts are their favorite activities of the year.

Come join the MelloMacs at their Open Rehearsal and Kick-Off Party on Monday, Sept. 11. The reception is at 6 p.m., and the rehearsal follows at 7 p.m.

ATHLETICS Nealy Wins Annual Sportsmanship Award There are great members who live up to the standards we set for our club, and then there are members such as Mike Nealy who raise those standards to an entirely new level. Over 30 years ago, Nealy and a few friends decided morning basketball fit their busy lives, allowing them to get exercise while playing the sport they love.

What Nealy started, and has carefully nurtured since, has become a consistent group enjoying one another’s company on MAC’s basketball courts at 5:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.

Rain or shine, injury or health, Nealy fuels the group with Gatorade and coffee. He has created a very tight “family” – the Morning Ballers. Nealy regularly spots new attendees, takes them aside to welcome them, and explains the culture he has created. It’s a culture that all of MAC sports can emulate: compete hard and, above all, have fun.

Using Melatonin to Aid Sleep

T

he sun is out, and what Portlander doesn’t want to soak up every last ray of it? Kids, especially, have a difficult time with an 8:30 p.m. bedtime when it’s light out until 9 p.m.

Part of the problem is that melatonin, the sleep hormone and its secretion, is strongly correlated to the darkness.

Natural melatonin is important, not only for helping people sleep. There is growing evidence that melatonin may be an antioxidant, can help modulate immune responses, and may have anti-tumor mechanisms.

There are steps you can take to increase the production of melatonin in the absence of darkness. Synthesis of melatonin requires an amino acid called tryptophan and a cascade of enzymebased reactions. Tryptophan can be found in turkey, cheese, eggs, nuts and seeds. A couple slices of turkey as an evening snack (instead of

ice cream) may help release more melatonin.

Notable amounts of the hormone also have been detected in tomatoes, olives, barley, rice and walnuts. Wine has melatonin in it, too, although not all wine is created equal. Nebbiolo and Croatian grapes have more melatonin than Cabernet. Barley beer also has a high melatonin content. Unfortunately, alcohol counteracts the grapes’ ability to increase levels of melatonin.

Thus wine is not a good sleep inducer.

Brain Health in September No one knows for sure, but the latest estimate is that our brains contain roughly 86 billion brain cells. When was the last time you added to that number? Join MAC Wellness this September for a brain break during our healthy brain month. Look for more information in the Winged M, on the MAC Wellness Facebook page and at theMAC.com as we host a brain-health expert, offer special MELT workshops and challenge coordination through a rhythm and movement class.

EATING WELL Cherries, both sweet and tart, are not only delicious but an excellent source of antioxidants and fiber. They also contain melatonin. Cherries are grown here in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, Oregon is the third-largest producer of sweet cherries in the nation. The growing season for sweet cherries is June through August. Below is a recipe for a delicious spritzer that can keep you hydrated in the summer heat.

Nutritional Facts

–Tysen Christensen, MS, RD, CPT WM

Vitamins and minerals act as co-factors and activators in the melatonin enzyme processes.

B vitamins – especially B6 – and folate, magnesium and zinc are important vitamins for the production of melatonin.

However, the biggest influence on the production and release of the hormone is light and darkness. Electronics emit a blue light that prevents melatonin from being released. Turn off electronics in bed – or at the very least, use them in night mode. Medications like betablockers and NSAIDs are well-known melatonin disrupters.

I rarely recommend melatonin supplements for patients struggling with sleep, since the data regarding sleep improvement with melatonin supplements is inconsistent. Plus, the negative side effects of melatonin supplements are very real – grogginess and nightmares are the most common complaints. Instead, I always recommend good sleep hygiene, a healthy diet and melatonin-packed food an hour before bed. If weight gain is a concern, there are alternative treatment options like Sleepytime tea. Stop by and see me or your physician to discuss other options. There are a lot of claims on the market for quick sleep fixes that potentially could be harmful or, at the very least, a waste of cash.

Questions, concerns, or topic ideas can be directed to lnelson@themac.com Live well, –Dr. Lindsey Nelson WM

Needless to say, it is on again this year. There’s nothing better than playing golf in the ocean air surrounded by the beauty of the Oregon Coast at Gearhart Golf Links.

Gearhart Golf Links is the oldest continually operating course west of the Mississippi River.

Invite your non-MAC guests to join you in a friendly, allability shamble format. As tradition dictates, we will play the first Saturday of October – the 7th this year. The $95 entry fee includes golf, dinner and prizes.

Golf committee members, George Johnson and Brett Hyland, will greet participants and offer such pithy, pretournament encouragement as, “Hit ’em straight!” and “It must be 12 o’clock somewhere!” (There also is a dinner-only option for significant others and nongolfers).

YOGA

Mommy and Me Yoga With Erin Zintek The 13-week sessions are for moms and children from newborn to 18 months

T

iny Tots is excited to offer a new class this fall: Mommy and Me, a yoga class with instructor Erin Zintek, who is certified in Pilates mat, reformer and yoga.

Zintek is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BFA in dance. There she worked with Dan Stark, Alan Sener, Jennifer Kayle, George de la Pena, Armando Duarte and Charlotte Adams.

Zintek was chosen to dance with the university’s Dancers in Company, traveling around the Midwest. She has performed for the American College Dance Festival Association two years in a row and has received multiple scholarships. Professionally, Zintek has danced with Charlotte Adams and Dancers, David Dorfman and Dancers, Poetic Rebound Co., and Bill Young. During the summer of 2008, she traveled to Brazil to study capoeira and dance with Bale Folclorico. Since moving to Portland, Zintek has worked with KO&Co. and Paige McKinney.

She is passionate about exploring movement in all forms, and hopes to continue her quest to help others find their best selves.

When asked if she was interested in partnering up to provide a new class for MAC members, Zintek didn’t hesitate, and quickly came up with a description of the class.

AUGUST 2017

She says: “I am so excited to bring Mommy and Me Yoga to MAC. This forum is meant to promote an easeful culture for new moms. Your baby gets to participate with you, whether next to you on their blanket, in a stroller, or attached to your body. No need to find a sitter, just bring your kiddo to class with you. The best part is that everyone will be in the same situation. I hope you can take the time for yourself to free your mind of worry, and take an hour for yourself. We will Erin Zintek practice a yoga sequence that promotes circulation, breath work, tension release, core work, and builds strength. I will also give you sequences that you can practice at home, with or without your baby. Come enjoy the many benefits that yoga can provide. I look forward to helping you find balance and harmony in your body, mind, and spirit.”

Two classes will be offered during the 13-week session for moms and their children, ages newborn to 18 months. This new class will begin the week of Sept. 11. To register or for more information, please check www.themac.com. WM

Dylan Reid, front, seen here during High School Nationals in 2010, before he took a break from racquetball.

RACQUETBALL

After a Break From the Game, Dylan Reid Now Country’s Best Amateur W hen Dylan Reid graduated from Lincoln High School after a storied racquetball career in 2010, he put down his racquet and rarely picked it for the next five years.

The lifelong MAC member played baseball at Washington University of St. Louis while earning undergraduate and master’s degrees.

He played racquetball about once a year.

Now, he’s the best amateur player in the United States.

Reid won the open division of the U.S. National Singles Tournament in Tempe, Arizona, in May. He also made it to the quarterfinal round of the pro draw, losing to No. 2 seed Jose Rojas, a U.S. Team veteran with multiple wins on the International Racquetball Tour.

“Hank (Marcus) had recently been hired on as the racquetball pro, and there were a a ton of good, athletic kids in the program,” Dylan says. “At the time we had about a dozen people who were nationally ranked and everyone fed off of each other. Hank was a great coach and mentor, and it was unparalleled at the time for a youth program in the nation.”

During his freshman year at Lincoln, Dylan and Bruce started the school’s racquetball program, which quickly blossomed to 60 students and is now a national powerhouse.

The program still has a close connection to MAC. “The Lincoln program helped a lot of people who had not been involved in sports before,” Dylan says.

An early start

Return to the game

Racquetball runs in the family for Reid.

His dad, Bruce Reid, is an avid member of MAC’s racquetball community. He took his first racquetball lesson, along with his younger brother Sam, when he turned six.

When Reid made the decision to focus on baseball in college, it signaled a pause in his racquetball career. He was starting to feel burned out, and didn’t think he could be his best while focusing on two sports and

studying mechanical engineering. In the long run, Reid believes his time off helped his game, but getting back into racquetball was challenging.

“It was a frustrating process, getting back to my old level. It was hard being on the court and not being able to do the things I could clearly see needed to happen,” he says.

“But I focused on developing my skills and rediscovered my love for the sport.

Reid lives in Hood River and works at an aerospace company, but is hoping racquetball plays some part of his future. He plays in regional events, and currently travels to four or five tournaments per year.

“I would love to get to a point where I can travel a good amount for it and make a decent income off of it – probably not enough to quit as my full-time job but to get to a point where I’m competing on the pro tour,” he says. “I’d also like to get involved with the sport as an organization. The sport is facing some issues but I’d love to see it grow.

Join the Early Birds for a sunrise smootheir and a round of bocce on the North Park blocks Friday, Aug. 11.

EARLY BIRDS

Sunrise Chardonnay Smoothies and Bocce A warm summer morning is a great time for a party in the park. So the Early Birds invite all early exercisers to a Chardonnay Smoothies & Bocce Party at the bocce courts in the North Park Blocks, on from 5:45-6:45 a.m. Friday, Aug. 11. This is a chance to play (or learn) the centuries-old Italian game of bocce. “Bocce” is the plural of the Italian word for bowl, “boccia.” Balls are rolled on a court to get closest to a target ball. (In France, the game is called boules or pétanque.) To make the party especially elegant and enticing, the Early Birds will serve smoothies made from a cooling blend of bananas, raspberries, yogurt and chardonnay wine. Walk, run or ride to the bocce courts between Northwest Hoyt and Glisan streets and Eighth and Park avenues.

No reservations necessary.

HANDBALL

Hood River Becoming a Handball Hotspot One of the hot spots for handball over the years has been Hood River, having produced various state champs and hosted a prominent pro-am. Several of the city’s best players are MAC members: member athletes Stephen and Phillip Stenberg, as well as Rachel Stenberg, Stephen’s wife (winner of the Pacific Northwest Regional B class in May).

62 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2017

A pro-am was held the first weekend of June and attracted many players, as usual.

Steve Grow teamed up with a partner to win the Division 1 class over Aaron Garner and his partner. MAC member athletes Josh Bateman and Phillip Stenberg fought through that difficult grouping to take third-place honors as well.

One-wall play MAC handball coach J. D. McLandrich has been working with MAC staff to set up a schedule for one-wall play. Historically, MAC handball has been almost exclusively the four-wall game, although three temporary one-wall courts were created for the 2009 world event held here to showcase that version of the game.

One-wall handball is becoming the passport to the other versions — three-wall and four-wall. Often played outdoors, it is a game that anyone can play because of its apparent simplicity—a ball and a wall. No court with walls, beyond the front wall, is needed.

Unlike the four-wall game, a player may not even need gloves, especially if the ball is the so-called “big ball” (essentially a racquetball).

Eye guards are a necessity, however.

The action in one-wall is very quick.

Players do not have the comfort of letting a shot carom off a sidewall or the ceiling, as seen in four-wall handball. They have to hit the opponent’s shot as it comes off the front wall and return it to the front wall without letting it bounce on the floor.

Aside from the obvious differences in the make-up of the one-wall court compared

to a four-wall court, one-wall players take pride in the “blocking” shot. This is when the offensive player hits the ball right back to an area close to his or her body. Then that player has to be absolutely still while the opponent has to try to return the ball, no matter how close it is to the other player’s body. (This is not allowed in four-wall handball – a hinder is called, and the point is replayed). One-wall players quickly become masters of this tactic and use it at every opportunity.

The pace of one-wall is much faster than four-wall because each shot has to be returned without the benefit of letting the ball travel to some location in the deep court before returning it. It’s pretty much a “bang-bangbang-bang” game. Players rarely have the time to set up in a classic posture and position to return a ball, as seen in four-wall.

Spectators also are much closer to the action in one-wall, seated in the backcourt or on the sidelines, with no wall separating them from the players and the action. Sitting or standing so close to the action, they can expect to catch balls that have left the court so long as the play is over and return them quickly so the action can continue without too much interruption.

Staff has set up two or more temporary courts in the west gym, second floor. Games are scheduled in the summer for 6 p.m. every other Wednesday. If you’d like to play or watch, contact Emily Shupp in the court sports office for the schedule. It’s a great workout and an easy way to learn the basics of this challenging game.

PILATES

Use the Reformer for Cross Training Summertime is the perfect time for dancers and young athletes to try new ways to cross-train. Reformer Pilates is the ideal solution for dancers as well as for teens who train for volleyball, tennis, gymnastics and other sports, to gain strength and confidence in their area of focus. This one-week workshop on the reformer – a spring-based apparatus that provides resistance – is designed to strengthen deep support muscles and balance all muscle groups in the entire body.

Benefits of Reformer Pilates: 1. Core Power: Pilates targets the entirety of your torso, from your hips to your shoulders to pelvic floor muscles. Strengthening and stabilizing these muscles helps support a strong, supple back and develops efficient movement patterns.

2. Improve Alignment: Teens learn how to increase strength in all ranges of motion, gain control in mid-ranges, and stabilize joints

ATHLETICS

The Pilates reformer is a great tool for cross training. This month, MAC Pilates offers a week-long Pilates course geared toward teens, without bracing and gripping. The controlled movement puts minimal stress on your joints.

3. Restore Balance: Pilates harnesses the strength in opposing muscles to better enable the athlete to balance better, jump higher and longer, and stabilize by using developing core muscles for upper body strength.

4. Prevent Injuries: By rebalancing muscle groups, dancers increase range of movement while increasing strength and control.

Many injuries – tendinitis, back pain and shin splints – occur from overuse, faulty mechanics and muscular imbalances. Since Pilates is informed by sound biomechanical principles, dancers learn how to place their joints in neutral, stable and centered positions.

Join BASI Pilates instructor Emma Johnson for a one-week reformer workshop for teens. Appropriate for ages 12-17, this workshop, is an introductory level class. A former dancer and choreographer, Johnson experienced first-hand how Pilates training can improve strength, flexibility and enhance confidence.

The class is from -2 p.m. Aug. 21-25 and costs $150. To register, contact Johnson at ejohnson@themac.com or 503-223-6251, ext. 884.

VOLLEYBALL

If you’re an adult over 18 and might enjoy an evening of pick-up volleyball, join us from 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, beginning Sept. 5, in the West Gym. All abilities are welcome.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to start thinking about the 2017-18 club volleyball season. This year, MAC expects to field nine teams for boys and girls age U12 through U18. We will continue to play in the Columbia Empire Volleyball Association and provide playing opportunities for all skill levels.

Tryouts will be held Sunday, Nov. 5, for U12s and U14s and Nov. 12 for U16s and U18s. Online registration for tryouts will be available at www.themac.com in October and will be $20 per player in advance or $25 per player at the door.

In addition, this year the volleyball committee is offering a uniform consignment program to aid players who have either outgrown their uniform or who will not be returning for MAC volleyball next season. There will be opportunities to buy and sell gently used uniforms at tryouts. Sign up on the club website to receive additional information on the uniform consignment program.

WALKING AND HIKING

Junior Club Volleyball Season Starts Soon

A Hiking Holiday in England’s Lake District In May, an intrepid group of 20 MAC members traveled to the Lake District of England to enjoy what the English call a “walking holiday.” We stayed at Monk Coniston, formerly a monastery and later part of the 4,000-acre estate owned by Beatrix Potter, now a part of the National Trust domain, located at the north end of Coniston Water.

Our stay was hosted by HF Holidays, which operates many similar properties, mostly in the U.K. but in other countries as well. Each day we were given a choice of an easy, medium or difficult hike led by an experienced volunteer guide. The easy walks were generally 5 to 6 miles, mostly through the valleys in the area, taking in villages, pastures and the intense greenery of the region.

The medium walks were a bit longer with

Junior volleyball tryouts start in November. more elevation gain, and the difficult ones were longer and harder.

ATHLETICS Pictures really don’t capture the beauty of the Lake District. The hills present hiking challenges that can include the use of hands for climbing and descending, but the view from the ridges is spectacular. In addition, walking is such a part of the culture in the U.K. that paths are a given everywhere – on ridges, through pastures, towns, over hill and dale.

Two interesting side notes. Since there aren’t many fountains in the woods, folks pound copper (only) coins into fallen trees for luck.

Also, since most walks include crossing pastures containing sheep, gates are a necessity. The most common is called a “kissing gate,” which allows only one person through at a time.

We enjoyed terrific weather, outstanding guides and staff at Monk Coniston, a week of hiking, making new friends and enjoying old ones, and incomparable English hospitality and scenery.

YOGA

The Surprising Health Benefits of Handstands Handstands are the most underrated exercise – mostly because people think they can’t do them.

What’s your excuse? Is it that you never did gymnastics, or you’re not a power yoga practitioner? Go ahead and greet those excuses with the new nickname, Mr. or Mrs. Doubt. Handstands are the way to get in touch with your inner child, who is either lingering or waiting to bust out balance skills in an open field or on the beach.

Handstands can benefit your health in a variety of ways, especially if you find a place and time to fit them into your daily schedule. This Friday Focus taught by Mike Salmon is for those who struggle with Mr. and Mrs. Doubt. This workshop will show how handstands create strength, balance and a fun new way to play.

Some people who come to the workshop will be ready to work on their handstand in the middle of the room; some will be working on walking their feet up the wall. All will leave this workshop with the knowledge that handstands start with core strength on the anterior and posterior sides of the body. This core strength will iron out a banana-shaped handstand and will challenge everyone to discover their straight bodyline from head to toes. We will research the shoulder angle by stretching and strengthening the upper Continued on page 68 AUGUST 2017

body and learning about the tight arch and the hollow hold in a variety of poses.

The handstand is such a versatile exercise because it incorporates strength, flexibility and balance. Learn nuances that can increase balance with simple adjustments of the hands and wrists. Improve your mood by flipping your point of view upside-down.

My middle-school students know I’m a bit stressed when they see me doing a press handstand in my classroom. The change of blood flow from upside-down is like an oil change for the brain, creating both an energizing and calming effect at the same time. This extra blood circulation benefits the lungs, nervous system, and the bone structure by relieving pressure on the legs and feet and stretching the diaphragm. It is one of the best multitasking exercises to bring out a better you – physically, mentally and emotionally.

Come practice with Mike Salmon with an open mind, an open heart, and the willingness to make a mistake. Reminder, the only people who cannot take this class are those who do not show up. This free Friday Focus is offered from 6:45-8:15 p.m. Sept.

From the Archives Cody Kids at 1941 A.A.U. Nationals I

n the photo above, Joyce Macrea, fourth from left, and Brenda Helser, right, sit with other swimmers at the 1941 Women’s National A.A.U. Championship meet held Aug. 15-17 in High Point, North Carolina.

With Coach Jack Cody, the “Cody Kids” women’s team won the Oregon A.A.U. Swimming and Diving Championship in Jantzen Beach the month prior. At the national meet, Helser won the 100-meter sprint and Nancy Merki (not pictured) set Luke Sprunger national records in the 800- and 1500-meter CLUB ARCHIVIST freestyle events. The team finished second overall to the Riviera Club of Indianapolis.

Returning home from the cross-country train voyage, the Cody Kids were honored with a breakfast at the club on August 26 where the mayor, the sheriff and the club president praised the accomplishments of the team.

Your MAC Archives As archivist, I look to honor and expand on the excellent work of George Vogt. In addition to giving talks, helping create a club history exhibit at Oregon Historical Society and implementing special conservation projects, George worked to build the archives from late 2011 until earlier this year by storing, cataloging and creating digital records for the thousands of historical photographs, text documents, awards and other items important to club history. I continue his work to make the archives a better resource for member research requests and a variety of staff and member projects.

Call for Materials The publications collection is missing several Winged M issues between 1913 and 1919 as well as the September and October 1907 issues of the Winged M Chat. Please contact Luke Springer at LSprunger@themac.com if you have one of these issues or if you have membership documents from the club’s early decades that you would be interested in donating for long-term preservation.
