s I compose my final column, I reflect on how fortunate I was to be president of the club during its 125th anniversary celebration.

It was a year full of athletic events and competitions, social festivities and comJanice Marquis munity outreach. It is PRESIDENT a challenge to absorb all the activities that took place last year within our club. The MACReach program alone, which included 46 – yes, 46 – MAC committees volunteering time and work in the community, established a standard that will be carried into the future.

Committee members experienced great camaraderie while volunteering in the community.

MAC’s archives document charitable activities as far back as the 1890s, and a 1936 Oregonian article lauded, “What the club has meant to Portland and the Northwest, athletically, socially and in its civic accomplishments…”

It has always been our goal to give back to the community.

In addition to our 125th anniversary, coincidentally, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation celebrated its 25th year and the Balladeers celebrated their 75th year. It was a year marking history, spirit and appreciation.

We are blessed with so many members who volunteer to participate in the club’s extensive committee system. The committee system is a key component of the governing structure of the club, and provides members access to and influence on how the club is governed.

We have more than 50 committees, plus a number of ad hoc committees, that can be appointed during the year, depending on specific issues that need to be addressed. As we participate in these meetings, please take the time to thank staff for their hard work, which makes over 600 meetings a year run smoothly.

The club is 22,000 strong, and it could not function without capable management.

General Manager Norm Rich oversees a staff of 500-plus employees and is aided in this task by a team of talented directors and managers.

The club’s leadership is driven by creativity and critical thinking. The club’s collaborative leadership team allows for the implementation of deliberate choices to reflect the needs of our members. These necessitate long-term planning, as well as preparation for the unexpected. We will always face internal

challenges, as we did with our website/technology project this year, but the club will continue to prosper and is grounded in a culture of excellence.

A major achievement in 2016 was the completion of the Women’s Locker Room remodel. Women were temporarily relocated to the subbasement and an improvised locker room. The facilities department did a remarkable job of making the space work for the short term. Though it wasn’t as convenient or as aesthetically attractive, it was very comfortable and accommodating, and after only five months we were able to return to a brandnew, stunning locker room. The majority of comments that I have received regarding the remodel are that it was well worth the wait.

An open house allowed families – and men – to see the room before it was turned over to the women. It was a major project that was delivered on time and on budget. And, you will be pleased to know that we have no major capital projects scheduled for 2017.

I can’t finish out the year without mentioning the success of our 125th Gala in September. At first, we intended to cap participation at 500. Registrations continued to climb throughout the year, and we eventually reached our limit of 1,100. It was an amazing celebration. The orchestration of getting everything to come together so seamlessly was yet another credit to our staff. This event will continue to charm the guests’ memories for many years to come.

Serving as your president this year has also been insightful for me. Our members have a tremendous passion for this club and care deeply about its success. This is most evident with the participation of our members in the committee system, the sounding boards we receive, and members’ willingness to share their thoughts.

I could not have met our objectives this year without the enormous support from my wise and very talented fellow officers: Vice President Linda Higgons, Treasurer Scott Stevens and Secretary Mike Wells. Without their assistance and encouragement, I would have struggled. They have been remarkable with their guidance and support, as has the entire board. I feel extremely fortunate that our second- and first-year board members were totally engaged, knowledgeable and willing to work very hard. They are Todd Husband, Laura Martin, Marlis Miller, Bob Radler, David Brezenski, John Helmer III, D’Anne O’Neill and Grant Yoshihara.

I will reflect on this year with great fondness and pleasure in being able to work with our wonderful membership. WM FEBRUARY 2017

am sitting at home, working remotely, as I write my February column. I am working from my home base because of the record snow that fell in January; our house is high up and a distance from the freeway. It feels funny to Norm Rich be away from the club GENERAL MANAGER I love so much. While I am still connected, it is without the personal touch that I like to make each and every day.

I want to thank our team of directors, who contribute so much to members’ positive experiences. We opened at 8 a.m. rather than 5 a.m. to ensure we had a skeleton staff to safely open.

We never open the club without entrance staff, exercise and conditioning staff, an operator, security staff, a manager on duty and facilities staff. Why are we so dedicated to providing minimum staffing on snow days? We always want to ensure that we provide safe experiences for members and staff. Whenever we open the club, we need an operator to relay medical emergencies from staff to the fire department, facilities staff to shovel around the club and a manager on duty to manage our large facility.

It’s a big club staffed with caring employees that make some significant efforts to be at our members’ service whenever possible.

Directors communicated with each other all night long and with Manager on Duty Marty Boozer, to arrange for a late opening due to the heavy snow and safe staffing levels. After consultation with our team of directors, we decided to open at 8 a.m. rather than 5 a.m. Manager on Duty Andrew Mechow called me to beg to open the club at regular operating hours, so as not to disappoint Early Birds. Reluctantly, I had to disagree, keeping in mind club safety for members and staff. As soon as we made those decisions, I was back in touch with the Manager on Duty Dennis Wright, Food and Beverage Director Cameron McMurry and Facilities Director Elsa Lemoine, all of whom managed to make it to the club, to discuss closing the club early and opening late the following day. Communications Director Michole Jensen was updating electronic communication to keep members and staff informed of operating hours. While a few members were disappointed, we tried to make the best decisions possible to properly serve all our communities of members and staff.

I am proud to work with such a great group of professionals at all levels within our organization who look after members’ needs and

make experiences special. We are proud of our accomplishments and proud to serve you.

10 best of 10 years In mid-January, I celebrated my 10th anniversary with the club. It seems like yesterday that I first entered the club, a proud member of staff whose main interest was to listen to your ideas, lead your club and serve our members well. I think I have accomplished what I set out to do and much more.

Here are the 10 accomplishments that I partnered with our leadership team on that I am most proud of, in no specific order.

• Enclosed the basement patio, created the Ledge and expanded E&C space overlooking Providence Park • Created At Your Service • Recruited Chef Philippe Boulot to lead our culinary program and cook for our members • Tripled the size of our climbing facilities and number of climbing athletes • Created Sunset Bistro and Splash for summer outdoor and poolside dining • Created MAC Playschool for 2- to 5-year-olds • Restored and revitalized the Reading Lounge • Doubled the size of the Men’s Bar (1891) and created MACtinis • Made the Annual Meeting a signature event • Invested in three parcels of property to allow for club future growth and added wisely to our investment portfolio None of this good work could have happened without the participation and partnership of our members.

Need a ride?

As we prepare for our Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 7, we have a special offer to encourage members to use ride hailing service Lyft to get to and from the club. Both new and existing Lyft users can get $3 off each way by using a special discount coupon. The purpose of this experiment is to reduce demand on our overtaxed parking facilities. The code is available on the website and by calling At Your Service.

A goodbye to two colleagues This month MAC says goodbye to Assistant General Manager Tim Arbogast and Athletic Director Ed Stoner. Tim as been with MAC for 16 years and Ed for nine years.

They have done great work for MAC and helped shape and maintain the financial and athletic success of the club.

As colleagues and friends, they will be missed by many members and staff. I am certain they will have great success in their future challenges and opportunities. WM

lisabeth KüblerRoss said, “How do these geese know when to fly to the sun?

Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only Ed Stoner we would listen to it, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown.” After nine years at MAC, the time has come for me to listen to that voice within to go forth and seek the next challenge.

As of Feb. 10, I am stepping down as MAC’s athletic director.

I enjoyed getting to know many of you through interactions in the E&C, working on committees, playing on competitive teams, and at tournaments and events. I thank you for welcoming me and my family to Portland as transplants from the East Coast. Our affiliation with MAC made the transition much easier, and we are honored to call many of you our friends. I will miss the daily interactions and learning more about you and your families.

However, the opportunity to start painting a new canvas is an exciting prospect.

In the past nine years at MAC, we created the Athletic Neighborhood Concept (ANC) that grouped like activities and enhances our athletic facilities, including the enclosure of the E&C Ledge, the renovation of the Pilates Equipment Room, the Stretching Room, Studio One and Studio Three, among other areas in the Basement. The ANC includes the nearly complete Tetris project on the second floor, which will be an exciting new use of the space for juniors. We have modified and grown camp programs, Playschool and Child Care, the Climbing Gym, and personal training participation and revenues. Many competitive teams are at, or near, record participation and garnering local, regional, national and international success. Athletics now handles more than 1.2 million member interactions a year through camps, classes, clinic registrations and court reservations. The future looks bright.

It has been my pleasure to lead a dedicated athletics staff of more than 200 individuals, who work tirelessly to provide extraordinary experiences for you, and help continue to make MAC the premier club it is.

I will treasure the memories created together as I move on to the next chapter of this wonderful book of life, and look forward to seeing you around the club before the 10th, and down the road, wherever it takes us. WM

James Beckerman, M.D. Medical director, Cardiac Prevention + Wellness, Providence Heart and Vascular Institute Why Providence?

I’m very invested in my patients and our community. Providence provides an incredibly authentic atmosphere to care for people and help them become the best versions of themselves.

Your dream for Providence in Oregon?

I believe strongly in our Mission of providing care for everyone, especially the poor and vulnerable. I’m excited to share our community-based prevention programs with people who need us.

What are your hobbies?

I’m a family guy and have two sons. We live to travel, and each year we plan a new “Beckertrek” somewhere in the world.

I exercise every day and recently became a certified yoga teacher. I love being outside.

Who were your mentors?

My parents and my older brother. They’re not physicians, but they model the compassion, creativity and determination I try to bring to work every day. My wife inspires me to care about people as individuals, which is essential to caring about the community.

To jump start your heart health in 2017, visit www.hearttostart.org.

What are some memorable patient stories?

(1) Helping guide a teenager through heart surgery and five years later watching in the stands with his parents as he caught an interception during his final college football game.

(2) Helping an avid cyclist recover from a heart attack, and later jogging with him as part of our Heart to Start community exercise program.

How does philanthropy matter to your work?

Our donors’ generosity allows me to provide my patients with access to the best cardiac care and technology in Oregon. Philanthropy also means we can bring this care into the broader community.

We’ve provided 12,000 free heart screenings to children through our Play Smart™ program, we’ve trained hundreds of people to exercise through Heart to Start … and we’re just getting started!

FACES IN THE CLUB The MAC Climbing Team had the best showing at Regional Championships in the history of the program in December, when the event was held at MAC as part of the club;s 125th anniversary celebration. MAC sent a record 38 climbers, and a whopping 32 of them qualified for the Divisional Championship Tournmane,t which took place in mid January. Look for more on the team’ accomplishments on page 54, and see the March Winged M for a full report on Divisional Championships.

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

Racquetball player and volunteer extraordinaire Sanjay Bedi won the 2015-2016 Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award at the Banquet of Champions in January. Bedi dove head first into the club’s racquetball scene after joining MAC in 2010.

Before long, he was serving on the Racquetball Committee, organizing intramurals, helping to run tournaments and coaching the Lincoln High School team, which has a close affiliation with the club. He stepped down to the assistant coach position only after he took a full-time position as the Benson High Athletic Director. All the while, he has been improving his own game.

He is currently ranked No. 42 among men’s open players in Oregon.

Reining state tennis champion and Yale freshman Dylan King was named the Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year during the annual Banquet of Champions in January. King suffered only one loss during his final two years of high school tennis, and was named the male OSA High School Player of the Year. He also took first place in open mixed doubles at the Oregon and Washington State Championship Tournaments. King was also the team captain at Grant High School, and was also valedictorian. During his senior year he volunteered as a coach with the Portland After School Tennis & Education program, and volunteered with the Junior General Tennis Camp.

Mike Temple was recently recognized in Tennis Magazine for his efforts in the Portland tennis community.

Temple, who serves as section president of USTA Pacific Northwest, used his decades of business financial experience to create RecTennis in 2014. Focused on grassroots growth and engagement, RecTennis provides affordable, fun and friendly tennis programs for youth, adults and families. Local USTA offices handle the curriculum, equipment, staffing and registration, and programs are held at public facilities across the state.

Since its rollout in four cities across two states in the summer of 2014, RecTennis has expanded to 29 cities in eight states and provided more than $12,000 in scholarships.

Member and pro racquetball player Charlie Pratt won the Elite/ Open Singles category during the John Pelham Memorial Racquetball Shootout at MAC, defeating fellow member Dylan Reid. Pratt also finished second in the Elite/Open doubles category, only losing to Reid and his partner. Pratt, 30, was born and raised in Portland, and is currently ranked No. 12 in the world, playing full time on the International Racquetball Tour. He is a World Outdoor Doubles champion, mixed doubles World Junior champion, and a multiple winner of junior National Championships.

Pratt has also served as the official referee for the International Racqeutball Tour.

FEBRUARY 2017

Intermediate member Dylan Reid put in a great performance at the John Pelham Memorial Racquetball Shootout at MAC. The 24 year old finished second to fellow MAC member Charlie Pratt in the Elite/Open Category, and beat Pratt and his partner in the final of the Elite/Open doubles category. Reid also found success last year at the International Racuqetball Tour U.S. Open in Minneapolis, where he finished 2nd in open singles, made the quarterfinals in pro doubles, and qualified for the pro singles draw.

Reid is the current state open singles and doubles champ, and a four-time doubles national champ as a junior player. He currently works as a mechanical engineer at Insitu in Hood River.

serves 6-8 Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 3/4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons pickled mustard seeds Preparation 1. Place a baking sheet on an oven rack as close to the heat source as possible and preheat the broiler.

2. Cut the base off of each sprout, and then cut in half lengthwise, discarding any floppy outer leaves.

3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sprouts with the oil. Add salt and pepper and toss well to combine.

4. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the broiler and lay the sprouts in a single layer across the pan. Return the pan to the oven, broil for 6 minutes. Then stir the sprouts and rotate the pan 180 degrees to ensure the sprouts caramelize evenly. Broil for another 6 minutes. The sprouts should have a nice char on some areas and be vibrant green.

5. Add the mustard seeds to the baking sheet and stir well. Broil for an additional 2 minutes. The sprouts should now be ready. When you taste one, it should be tender but not completely soft. Test one big sprout and one little sprout to get an average.

MAC Among Country’s Elite Private Clubs The club earns its highest ever rating with the Platinum Clubs of America

T

he Multnomah Athletic Club was once again a top Platinum Club of America for 2016-2018. The results of the voting were made public in late 2016, and MAC earned 86.03 points, missing the top spot by only .42 points against New York Athletic Club.

MAC has ranked in the top-five athletic clubs in the nation for several years. During the previous ranking period, 2014-2016, MAC earned the No. 3 spot with 83.25 points. New York Athletic Club was again first.

“Being part of the Platinum Clubs of America helps us understand how MAC compares against the other great clubs across the nation. We continue to get better, which reflects the hard work staff, committees and the Board of Trustees are doing to prove

MAC is the best club in the country,” says MAC General Manager Norm Rich. “I expect us to be No. 1 next time.”

In 2016, 290 clubs earned the honor of being a Platinum Club of America. Clubs that received a substantial number of votes were acknowledged as candidates for Platinum status in 2018.

The five Platinum Club of America categories are Golf Club, City Clubs, Athletic Club and Yacht Clubs. Clubs may only be recognized in one category. The club’s official name is the primary consideration for the appropriate category designation, unless requested by the club and approved by the advisory board.

Platinum status in the Private Club industry has been the most revered since the franchise was established in 1997. Over the years, the criteria have been updated to adapt to changing times in the industry. For more information about Platinum Clubs of America, go to http://clubleadersforum.com/pcoa/

SENIORS

Seniors Weigh in on Events at Forum New senior programming has been added over the past year, and more is on the way

U

pward of 85 members attended the second annual Senior Focus Forum in October. MAC staff shared new programs, events and classes that have been added as a result of feedback received at the 2015 Senior Focus Forum. They discussed how those activities have fared and shared seniorspecific programming planned for 2017. At MAC, a senior is defined as anyone who is age 65 or older.

Nearly 25 percent of members are seniors.

MAC seniors are very active on the social side of the club, and because of this, a wide variety of senior-appropriate activities are offered. In 2016, we hosted 100 classes/workshops and 140 social events in which seniors made up a large portion of the attendees.

Activities popular with seniors include the Listen & Learn lecture series, bridge, theater tickets with motorcoach transportation, and the Balladeers and the Mellomacs singing groups. Our seniors know how to party, too – 40 percent of the 125th Ball attendees were at least 65 years old.

Fit for life is a concept exercised every day by our seniors at the club. Our Exercise and Conditioning Room, fitness and wellness programs are popular with seniors. The

club hosts over 200 fitness classes each week, including Pilates, yoga and water fitness that are open to all ages and abilities. Additionally, we offer master-level competitive and recreational programs in basketball, gymnastics, synchronized swimming, golf, racquetball, tennis and squash. The club’s Walking and Hiking group gathers weekly for urban walks and wilderness hikes. Other popular fitness and wellness offerings include our cardiac wellness and foot clinic programs, as well as our nutritional counseling and naturopathic services.

Here are just a few of our senior-friendly options.

Pickleball In 2016 MAC began hosting open pickle ball from 12:30-3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Main Gym (see page 66).

This activity is free and equipment and instruction are provided.

Smart phones, tablets, social media and apps Based on feedback from the 2016 Forum, MAC offered senior-friendly classes on technology. Attendees at the 2016 Forum said they want more of these offerings. This year, look for a February class on iPhone and iPad fundamentals. See the Winter Class Guide for details.

Balance and Posture Classes Another popular request at last year’s forum was a special balance and posture class. MAC’s Fitness Department offers a free class at 9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Gymnastics Arena.

Senior Happy Hour and Brunch In 2015, several seniors asked for a regular place and time to socialize at the club. To that end, MAC’s culinary team rolled out Senior Happy Hour with great success. Seniors meet weekly from 3-6 p.m. on Wednesdays in the Sports Pub to enjoy the happy hour menu and pricing. Senior Brunch also is offered from 9-10:30 a.m. on the last Monday of the month just outside the Sports Pub. No registration is required.

Tai Chi Many seniors enjoy the tai chi classes at 12:30 p.m. Mondays and Fridays. Join us to learn about and practice this ancient Chinese martial art.

No Car? No Problem. Getting Around PDX with Ease For those of any age who would like to learn how to navigate the city using TriMet, Lyft and bikes, among other options, MAC offers an adult education class in March. See the winter class guide for details.

ADMINISTRATIVE Aging with Mindfulness MAC typically offers these classes a couple of times a year. Check the activities section in the quarterly Class Guide for specifics.

125th Anniversary Looking Back at a Year of Celebration

1

25 years is a long time.

Four years ago, trustee Bob Nunn gathered four people around a table in 1891, known as the Men’s Bar at the time. Bob asked those joining him to build a 125th anniversary celebration for the club. At the time, no one knew what that idea would become or who would be involved.

Now, at the close of MAC’s 125th anniversary celebration, the entire club has participated in a year-long celebration encompassing athletics and social events, and embracing the greater Portland community. There were

some bumps and bruises along the way, but there were also solid victories.

The celebration officially kicked off at the 2016 Annual Meeting, where an astounding 360 people reserved tickets to a party the following September, blowing past the expected 250 total attendees. In the same week, the Oregon Historical Society opened an exhibit highlighting the club’s integral role in athletics in the Pacific Northwest, focusing on MAC’s evolution over 125 years.

February also saw the MAC Open gymnastics meet host over 1,200 competitors and 3,000 spectators in its 33rd year. The Oregon Open squash tournament hosted players from eight countries battling for squash supremacy.

This fervent activity continued all year.

This anniversary coincided with other club-related anniversaries: • The Multnomah Athletic Foundation celebrated its 25th year, which included copresenting the 125th Ride and closing the year with the annual January Spin-a-Thon.

• The Balladeers celebrated their 75th anniversary, delighting audiences and representing the club at performances throughout the year.

MAC has a history of community participation and service. The MACReach effort saw over 30 MAC committees, subgroups and MAC staff participate in programs benefiting the Portland community by volunteering over 600 hours in an extremely diverse variety of

Many people made this a year to remember, but special thanks goes to General Manager Norm Rich, Member Services Manager Abby DenUyl, Assistant Athletic Director Lisa Virtue and MAF Executive Director Lisa Bendt, without whom the anniversary events would never have been realized. Special thanks also goes to the 2015 and 2016 Board of Trustees for their guidance and approvals for the 125th Anniversary activities.

It’s true, 125 years is a long time; long enough for the club to make extraordinary marks in athletics and the social life of Portland.

In Memoriam John Richard “Dick” Estey July 7, 1930-Nov. 17, 2016 Senior Family Member John Richard (“Dick”) Estey, a native of Portland, passed away Nov. 17, 2016, at the age of 86 near his home in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Dick was born July 7, 1930, in Seattle, to Dewey A. Estey and Effie E. Haxby. Early, the three moved to Portland and, as fortune would have it, made their home adjacent to Eastmoreland Golf Course.

Dick attended Duniway Grade School, attained the rank of Eagle Scout in 1946, and was elected senior class president of Washington High School (1948). For the duration of his life, he annually attended the Washington High School reunion, which was a highlight of his summers.

Dick was among the most decorated junior golfers in Oregon history, winning the Oregon Junior Championship from 1946-1948, the 1948 Oregon State High School championship, as well as various other state and local tournaments. Dick was inducted into the Portland Interscholastic League Hall of Fame in 2009. In what would remain a highlight of his life, Dick caddied for Sam Snead in the 1946 PGA Championship, and for Henry Cotton in the 1947 Ryder Cup, hosted at the Portland Golf Club.

After high school, Dick enrolled at the University of Oregon, where he joined Sigma Chi fraternity. He met Maureen (“Maurie”) Cotta, and they married on Dec. 29, 1951, in Portland. Dick and Maurie remained married until her passing in 2004.

Dick went to work in the family vending business and continued, throughout his career, creating and diversifying his own enterprises,to include restaurant and food service management, wholesale distribution and national park hospitality operations. While cultivating his business pursuits and helping Maurie with raising the family, Dick took a 25-year hiatus from golf, enjoying camping, taking up tennis with the entire family, and traveling the world.

In the community, Dick served as vice president of Multnomah Athletic Club, president of the Racquet Club, president of the Portland Executive Association, president of the National Automatic Vending and Food Service Association and president of Oregon Easter Seals. He was honored to receive membership in the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and remained a member of Waverley Country Club, Morningside Country Club and MAC. In 1986, Dick started to play major senior amateur golf tournaments around the world,

and he recorded nearly a dozen victories.

By 1991, he was the No. 2 ranked senior amateur golfer by Golf Digest.

After Maurie’s passing, Dick married Judy Lea Kruggel in 2005. Together they lived a life of dance, travel and, with Judy’s introduction, a love of dogs. Judy survives him in their community and with their friends in Morningside, Rancho Mirage.

Dick was preceded in death by Maurie, and is survived by his wife, Judy; his children Craig Estey, Deborah Jackson (Bill) and Heidi McIntire (Scott); his grandchildren, Bunkie, Ally and John Estey, Nicole Miller (Brad) and Tyler Jackson (Heidi), and Callie Guerra (Jeremy); and his great grandson, Davis Miller.

Jim Makarounis July 16, 1963-Jan. 2, 2017 Senior family member Jim Makarounis passed away early in the morning of Jan. 2, 2017, after fighting throat cancer for the past four years. He was 53. Jim passed at his family home in Portland, surrounded by his wife of 22 years, Stephanie, daughter Hannah, 17, and son Christos, 15.

Jim’s father, Christos, an immigrant from Greece, and his mother, Adele, an immigrant from Syria, met through the Orthodox community of Portland. They owned and operated a series of restaurants and bars on the east side of town. Jim, his sister Chrissy, 51, and brother John, 48, grew up helping their parents run their various restaurant operations.

Jim attended David Douglas High School and graduated from Oregon State University in 1986. After graduating from OSU, Jim went to work for Central Pointe Software as a salesman. He then moved to Manhattan Beach, Calif., where he and Stephanie met.

After spending the first year of their marriage in Southern California, Jim and Stephanie decided to relocate to Portland to pursue his life’s interest in music and restaurant operations, as well as establish their life in the community.

On July 10, 1996, Jimmy Mak’s Jazz Club was founded in the yet-to-be-redeveloped Pearl District. At that time, the area was populated by light industry and the workers in the area became Jimmy Mak’s first core group of regulars. With Stephanie in the kitchen alongside his mother and sister, Jimmy worked the floor waiting tables and developing relationships with customers and purveyors that continue to this day.

Jim was a jazz saxophonist in high school, and his love for music translated to the tiny

stage on the main floor at the corner of 10th and Everett. In 1997, legendary Portland drummer Mel Brown began his residency at the club. That relationship became the catalyst for the club’s growth into the city’s premier jazz and live music venue. After 10 wonderful years on the corner, the club relocated across the street, where it grew into one of the best jazz clubs in the world. Over the years, Jimmy’s commitment to the musicians and his employees manifested itself in the tenure of his staff and the long residencies of many of the bands. So much so, in fact, that many of those folks came to consider themselves family as well. Jimmy Mak’s final show in its current venue was Dec. 31, 2016.

Jimmy was a lifelong, active member of the Greek Orthodox Church. He grew up at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral and remained a friend and supporter of Holy Trinity throughout his life. When a second parish, St. John the Baptist, was formed in 1997, Jimmy and Stephanie became founding members. Jimmy served on the Parish Council many years, and served two terms as Parish Council President. Jimmy was also active in fundraising and established and chaired the St. John the Baptist Greek festival for several years. Jimmy’s Christian faith played a central role in his life and helped him and his family grow deeply through his struggle with cancer.

In addition to the many friends he developed through his business, the Orthodox community and his childhood and college friends, “Jimmy” touched people in a special way with his big heart and his broad smile that was always followed by his big handshake.

Robert “Bob” John Nelson Jan. 4, 1935-Dec. 16, 2016 Family member Bob Nelson died suddenly and peacefully of a heart attack on the morning of Friday Dec. 16, 2016 at his home in Warrenton. He was 81.

Beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and grandpa, he will be greatly missed by his wife, Emily, of almost 59 years, his four daughters and their families: Lisa, (Si) Geo and Spencer Newland; Jana, (John) Mitchell, Isabelle and Will Robertson; Kristina, (Carl) Emily and Lily Perkins; and Britta Nelson and his sister Janet, (Niels) Reimers and their family.

Robert John Nelson was born to Eskil and Thelma Nelson on Jan. 4, 1935 in Portland, Ore. He attended Franklin High School and was still in contact with some of his friends from the class of 1952. He went on to Oregon State University where he received both a bachelor of science (’57) and Continued on page 26 FEBRUARY 2017

FEBRUARY 2017

In Memoriam Continued from page 25 masters of science (’61) degrees in Chemical Engineering. Bob was active in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and met Emily when her Pi Beta Phi sorority sister asked her to help the SAE’s decorate their house for a dance. Two years later on March 16,1958, they were married in Portland.

A job for Proctor & Gamble took Emily and Bob to Long Beach, California, where their oldest daughter, Lisa, was born. Instead of moving back east for a promotion, they chose to return to their hometown of Portland to be near both of their families and continue to build their own.

Bob’s early career was in the pulp and paper industry, where he experienced his first international travel (often with the company of Emily). These early trips spurred his love of travel and passion for experiencing different cultures and building new friendships and encouraging his daughters to do the same.

Bob and Emily still maintain friendships around the world.

In the early ’70s. Bob opened a Portland office of the Arthur Forsyth Company, allowing him to spend less time on the road and more time with Emily and his four girls.

Throughout the next 20 years, Bob and Emily created a home in Eastmoreland, where everyone was welcomed into their already large family. Bob loved nothing more than the company of his family and friends at the dinner table enjoying great food and wine, but mostly sharing stories and practicing his professor-like love of history and politics, which often led to raucous conversations.

After selling the family house in Eastmoreland, the next adventure was living on a houseboat at the Oregon Yacht Club. Bob and Emily had eight and a half lively years, meeting new friends, surviving the flood of 1996, and Bob becoming Commodore.

Bob and Emily moved to the family’s cabin on the coast in 2012. Once there, they continued their full rich life, with old and new friends and a very busy social calendar.

They joined the Pacific Universalist Unitarian Fellowship and Sunday fellowship was often the highlight of their week. Bob was a people person and loved meeting new people and listening to their stories and telling his own.

Always a volunteer, Bob became even more active by holding four jobs within the Astoria community.

Dale C. Reynolds June 21, 1925-Sept. 21, 2016 Senior family member Dale C. Reynolds, MD, a longtime Portland physician, WWII

ADMINISTRATIVE veteran, father and friend, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016. He was 91.

Dale “Bill” Reynolds was born June 21, 1925, in Bloomfield, Neb. The son of Dale W. and Estelle (née Crosser) Reynolds, Dale spent his childhood in Nebraska, where he excelled at sports and music. Despite his slight build, he lettered in varsity baseball, basketball and track in high school. He spent a season playing saxophone, clarinet and piano with a touring regional swing orchestra, and music continued to bring him great joy throughout his life. He played woodwinds with the Providence Hospital Stage Band in the 1960s and ’70s and the Music MACs through the ’70s and ’80s.

After graduating from Sidney High School in 1943, Dale enlisted in the U.S. Army and was accepted to the soon-to-be-cancelled ASTP program before being assigned to the 63rd Engineer Combat Battalion of the 44th Infantry Division. Dale served with distinction in WWII in France, Belgium and Austria.

He was cited for bravery in action and was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Dale completed his service at the rank of Master Sergeant.

Dale completed his pre-med studies at the University of Michigan and attended medical school at the University of Nebraska, where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor medical society. He married Phyllis Jane Roy in 1949 before graduating from medical school in 1951. Dale accepted an internship at Good Samaritan Hospital and Dale and Phyllis moved to Portland in 1952.

In Portland, Dale began a clinical practice with his friend and classmate Ernest H. Price at Mid-City Medical Clinic, where they remained partners until Dale’s retirement from medicine in 1991. In addition to his clinical practice, Dale was active in professional associations and medical politics, serving as president of the Multnomah County Medical Society, president of the staff at Good Samaritan Hospital, board member of ODS, board member of the Delaney Institute of Mental Health and as the chairman of the AMA, Council on Long-Range Planning and Development. After retiring from clinical practice, Dale served as a medical consultant to Blue Cross Blue Shield and Payless Drug.

Throughout his retirement, Dale enjoyed travel with Phyllis, tennis at MAC, golf with his friends, and time spent with his family. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Phyllis; son David R. (Edina, Minnesota); son Stephen D. (Portland); daughter Susan Loftesness (Vancouver, Wash.); and granddaughter Katherine Loftesness (Portland). WM

126th Anniversary February MAC Annual Meeting: Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017 – MAC 125th anniversary closes with the 126th Annual Meeting. Themed “The Best is yet to Come,” this year’s meeting is certain to reflect on the past year and look toward the future. The meeting is limited to resident, senior and honorary members. No guests are allowed. Those attending the meeting receive priority admission to the complimentary dinner.

Volunteer Profile and MACREACH Report by Kirsten Leonard, MACREACH The focus on MAC members who are great community volunteers resulted in one problem: how to select from the many candidates! It has truly been a pleasure to talk with these shining stars and I know they will continue to enhance our club and our community with their drive and determination.

This monthly article grew out of the 125th Anniversary’s MACREACH effort that challenged MAC committees to celebrate the year and thank our community by volunteering for a local nonprofit. Imagine our excitement when more than 30 committees and groups gave their time and talents to benefit an organization! With an average participation of 10 committee members, friends and family, and participating for an average of 2 hours (both estimates on the low side), MAC can be proud that members gave more than 600 hours of

volunteer time during our 125th year! Using the 2015 calculation by Washington D.C.’s NGO Independent Sector, these volunteer hours are valued at an average of $23.56 per hour. In addition to all else we do and give, the MACREACH effort to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of MAC donated volunteer hours in excess of $14,136!

My thanks to MACREACH committee members Cathy Hart and Val Rich; their organizational, communication and promotional skills are unparalleled, in addition to their devotion to our community.

Finally, we could never have imagined that MAC staff, in response to our enthusiastic romp in the community, would choose to follow our lead so very generously with 38 staff participating. During the year, staff worked with My New Red Shoes to help children get a better start to the school year with new shoes, bags and cards. The staff also baked dog treats for the Oregon Humane Society.

I sign out with much gratitude for all these efforts.

– Kirsten Leonard

2016 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

T

his year’s Budget and Finance Committee continued its history of conservatively guiding, planning and providing oversight to the club’s expenses and investments. Thanks, in part, to the club’s vigorous committee involvement and diligent work by staff, our Club continues its strong financial footing, as confirmed by this year’s Audit.

Scott Stevens Overall, the Club increased net TREASURER assets by $4,510,000 (6 percent), to $84,550,000, and liabilities decreased by $96,000 (1 percent) Our Facilities Replacement Fund, which is used to fund the replacement or substantial remodel of our existing facility and to acquire real estate, continues its prominent place on the club’s balance sheet. In 2010, the board set a Facilities Replacement Fund target of $38,000,000 by 2023. In 2016, that fund grew from $17,597,953 to $19,945,067, and the club is on track to attain its stated funding goal.

Speaking of facility remodels, there were two significant capital projects for 2016. The first was the successful remodel of the Women’s Locker Room on the basement level. Having had the opportunity to view it just before it opened, it looks great. Our Facilities staff did a terrific job managing this project and completing it on budget! The other 2016 major capital project is the Youth Programs Space Realignment project, referred to as the “Tetris Project” for its many moving parts. The project began in the fall of 2016 and is on track to finish, on budget, in March of 2017. This project moves a few elements within our facility to better accommodate needs of both staff and members. The result will be a greatly improved fitness area for junior members at the southern end of the West Gym, a dedicated teen lounge on the balcony overlooking the Exercise and Conditioning Room, creating appropriate office space for athletic staff in the West Gym, updating and adding restrooms to the second floor athletic areas, and moving the club’s batting cage.

It has been another wonderful year for the Budget and Finance Committee, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank this year’s Committee members for their great work in guiding the Club: Nathan Ayotte, Tom Bard, Connie Dunkle-Weyrauch, Scott Jackson, Gary Papé, Craig Stack, Robert Torch, Joseph Anthony, Deanna Wilson, Tom Sidley, MacGregor Hall, and past Treasurers Ann Blume and Bob Nunn. I would also like to recognize Tim Arbogast, Heather Bulloch, Belinda Potts and the rest of the team in the club’s Finance Department for all their work! WM

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Board of Trustees and Members Multnomah Athletic Club and Subsidiaries Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Multnomah Athletic Club and its subsidiaries (the Club), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of activities, changes in unrestricted net assets (Club equity), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Club as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization – The Multnomah Athletic Club (the Club) is a private, nonproprietary amateur athletic club located in Portland, Oregon. The Club was formed in 1891 and conducts various athletic and social activities, and provides food and beverage service to its members and their guests.

During 2012, the Club created two entities, MAC Block 7, LLC and Design Center PDX, LLC. During 2013, the Club created one entity, MAC 21, LLC. All of these entities (collectively referred to as the LLCs) are Oregon limited liability companies, in which the Club is the sole member. The LLCs were created for the sole purpose of holding property that the Club owns adjacent to its current facilities.

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Club and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated and all references henceforth are referred to as “the Club”.

Basis of presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Net assets and revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

Accordingly, net assets of the Club and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Board-designation of unrestricted net assets – The Board of Trustees of the Club has established Boarddesignated unrestricted net assets (Club equity) accounts for facility replacement and property. The Board-designated property fund portion of Club equity reflects the net book value of all Club property, plant, and equipment in addition to cash equivalents and investment income earned from designated sources less related liabilities. Board-designated sources include initiation fees and designated investment income less related income taxes, and the difference between actual depreciation expense and Board-approved funded depreciation. The facility replacement fund represents the investment balances accumulated from contributions made to the fund and from earnings on these investments, less related expenses. Amounts have been contributed annually to the facility replacement fund. Transfers between funds may occur as directed by the Board of Trustees.

The Club does not have any temporarily or permanently restricted net assets resulting from donorimposed stipulations.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Club values its cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. All highly-liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist primarily of unpaid member dues and other fees. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on historical charge-off activity. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Club’s membership accounts are suspended after accounts are 120 days past due.

Accounts may also be sent to a collection agency after the account has been suspended.

Inventories – Inventories of liquor, food, and sportswear are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, firstout) or market value.

Investments in marketable securities – The Club carries investments in marketable mutual funds, which comprise its entire investment portfolio, on the consolidated balance sheet at their readily determinable fair values based on quotations from national securities exchanges. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities.

Property, plant, and equipment – Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: continued on page 32

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued from page 31 Clubhouse and land improvements 5 – 40 years Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 3 – 7 years Parking structure and athletic facilities 10 – 40 years Property, plant, and equipment acquisitions, renewals, and improvements exceeding $2,500 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Upon disposal of property subject to depreciation, the accounts are relieved of the related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of activities.

Membership dues and initiation fees – Membership dues are recognized as revenue in the applicable membership period.

The Club collects a portion of initiation fees from prospective members as they are placed on the waiting list and includes these amounts in deferred revenue. The Club also has had programs in place to promote prepayment of initiation fees for juniors and spouses. Initiation fees are recognized as revenue on acceptance to the membership.

Membership dues and initiation fees are due primarily from Club members within the Portland metropolitan area.

Taxes on unrelated business income – The Club is a tax-exempt organization and is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except for unrelated business income, in accordance with Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Club’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC, are limited liability companies for which no separate income taxes have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the entities are disregarded for tax purposes. Income and loss is allocated to the sole member, the Club.

The Club recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit continued on page 33

2016 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued from page 32 that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Club recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in taxes on unrelated business income. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Club recognized no interest or penalties.

Functional allocation of expenses – The costs of the Club’s various activities and programs have been summarized on a departmental basis in the accompanying schedule of departmental revenues and expenses, presented as supplementary information. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the departments benefited.

Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior balances to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported unrestricted net assets or changes in unrestricted net assets.

Subsequent events – Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are issued. The Club recognizes in the consolidated financial statements, the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Club’s consolidated financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated balance sheet but arose after the consolidated balance sheet date and before the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Club has evaluated subsequent events through _______________, 2017, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

of accumulated depreciation $ 52,532,964 $ 49,993,057 Construction in progress at December 31, 2016 and 2015 consists primarily of costs related to various remodeling and expansion projects.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Club disposed of $20,824,330 of property, plant, and equipment no longer in use for a loss of $604,611 Note 3 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Accounting literature defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell anasset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Club’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3 – Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The Club used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for its assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value in the consolidated financial statements: Investments – Investments are comprised of marketable mutual funds. Marketable mutual fund fair values are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar funds.

The following is a summary categorization as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 of the Club’s assets based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments:

2016

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Marketable municipal security index funds $ 5,833,013 $ - $ - $ 5,833,013 Marketable domestic equity index funds 6,160,207 - - 6,160,207 Marketable international equity index funds 4,884,405 - - 4,884,405 Marketable domestic fixed income index funds 1,888,585 - - 1,888,585 Marketable real estate index funds 954,834 - - 954,834

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Club does not have any liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value. It is the Club’s policy to recognize transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy on December 31st of each year.

There were no changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies Operating leases – The Club leases certain office equipment and parking under operating lease agreements. Future minimum payments under those leases are as follows: Years ending December 31,

2017 $ 240,613 2018 239,784 2019 240,874 2020 235,046 2021 234,864 Thereafter 1,284,348

$ 2,475,529

The Club incurred operating lease expenses of $242,091 and $243,684 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Legal contingencies – The Club, in the ordinary course of business, may become a defendant in certain claims and legal actions. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, there are no matters or potential claims presently known to the Club that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Club.

Note 5 – Taxes on Unrelated Business Income Taxes on unrelated business income result primarily from advertising income in the Club’s Winged M publication, investment earnings including gains on sales of investments, and income from rental properties. The effective tax rate applied to these items, of approximately 35%, differs from the statutory federal rate of 34% primarily due to state and local taxes, federal and state tax credits and the timing of tax payments.

The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business income as follows as of December 31:

2016 2015 Federal $ 132,706 $ 110,057 State and local 67,151 51,800 Total taxes on unrelated business income

$

199,857 $ 161,857

In accordance with the requirements related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Club determined that it had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Club files an exempt organization income tax return and an unrelated business income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a corporate tax return with the Oregon Department of Revenue and the City of Portland.

Note 6 – Employee Benefit Plan The Club has a salary deferral retirement savings plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participating employees may defer a portion of their gross wages. The Club makes contributions to the plan of 3% of the base salary of employees and also matches 100% of the first 3% of the employee deferral.

Total contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $817,880 and $798,613, respectively. In addition, the Club pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.

Note 7 – Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Club to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Club places substantially all of its cash and liquid investments with financial institutions; however, cash balances may periodically exceed federally insured limits. Marketable securities, consisting of both debt and equity instruments, are generally placed in a variety of managed funds administered by an investment manager. To date, the Club has not experienced losses at these institutions.

THE NEW FACES OF SQUASH

MAC’S LOCAL SQUASH HEROES COME FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, BUT SHARE A LOVE FOR THE GAME AND A DESIRE TO TEACH OTHERS.

A

ndy Barnett had only been in Portland a few weeks when a colleague at OHSU approached him, saying, “I hear you play squash.” In a matter of months, that fellow physician had helped recruit Andy as a MAC member coach, a position he’s since used to help create and run a thriving junior squash program called the Grand Prix.

It’s no accident the MAC has a thriving and dynamic squash community. Thanks to the club’s athletic memberships and member coach programs, whenever new talent moves to Portland, they are quickly scouted by MAC members. The new

players not only boost the roster of challenging opponents, they also bring experience and enthusiasm to expanding the offerings and opportunities of the squash program.

What these players all share are exceptional skills and a love for the sport. For most, squash plays a central role in their lives.

As the Oregon Open pro squash tournament gets underway this month, bringing squash celebrities from around the world to the MAC courts, we are taking a look at some of our local heroes, and the programs they help to make possible.

THE NEW FACES OF SQUASH WHAT THESE PLAYERS ALL SHARE ARE EXCEPTIONAL SKILLS AND A LOVE FOR THE SPORT. ANDY BARNETT It was wrestling, not squash, that got Andy Barnett recruited to Harvard University, even though his parents had met playing squash in South Africa. There must have been something in his blood, because Barnett, 40, discovered old squash courts in the basement of his Harvard dorm, where he played “with anyone and everyone” as often as he could. Since then, no matter where Barnett has lived – from Durham, N.C. to New York City, Berkeley, Calif. and Tacoma – squash has been the center of his social life. As medical director of Legacy’s Go-Health Urgent Care clinics, he doesn’t have a lot of spare time, but what he does have is spent on the courts at MAC, where, as the member coach for juniors, he runs the Junior Grand Prix, plays in box league and helps manage tournaments. Barnett’s two older kids have only dabbled in the sport, but Andy says of his 2-year-old: “the baby is going to play.”

MARK BOGDANOFF Thanks to the hard work of Member Coach Mark Bogdanoff, one of the fastest growing areas of squash in Portland is doubles. There are about 60 players in the doubles league now, and another dozen or so who show up on Sundays for Church Squash.

MAC’s two doubles courts are even busy in the summers. Bogdanoff found his way to squash through racquetball; his racquetball class at Cornell University was taught on an old hardball squash court. Cornell had recently built new international squash courts, where the school hosted exhibitions with top players. Bogdanoff was hooked. Wherever he lived following graduation he found squash courts and partners who came from all over the world. Before he bought a house in Portland, he made sure there would be squash courts nearby. MACs former doubles member coach, Eric von der Heyden, recruited Bogdanoff as his replacement. “Everyone at the MAC is really friendly. They also thrive on competition,” says Bogdanoff.

LOGAN GREER The first time Logan Greer played squash, she failed so miserably at it she had a tantrum. After all, she was only 6 years old. By eighth grade, Logan, who grew up outside Philadelphia, had become one of the top five players in the country. In tenth grade, she made the U.S. national team and travelled to Antwerp to compete for the Junior World Championships. Between 10th and 12th grades, Greer maintained the No. 1 spot for girls in the U.S. When the Yale University coach recruited her, it was fate: That’s where both her parents went to college; she had always dreamed of attending. At Yale, Greer played the No. 1 position, served as captain and was named to both the All-Ivy and All-American teams. MAC lucked out in 2013 when Greer, 27, decided to move to Portland for a job in commercial real estate at HFF, where she is now an associate. Squash is a great way to get connected after a move to a new city, she says.

When Greer became a MAC athletic member, she upped the ante on the courts.

Greer can be found on the draw of pretty much every tournament, singles and doubles, and she represents MAC at prestigious tournaments across the country.

FEBRUARY 2017

JOSH HILTON Athletic Member Josh Hilton is known around MAC as the “energizer bunny.” He sometimes plays three matches in a row. When he isn’t on the courts, Josh can be found manning the desk at pretty much every MAC squash tournament. If a court needs wiping in between Oregon Open matches, Josh is the guy who runs out to do it. An architect who grew up in New York, Josh, 45, began squash when he was eight years old and the sport was still played in the hardball format in the U.S. Along the way, he had some great coaches and played in junior tournaments up and down the East Coast. At one point, he reached No. 7 in the country in the under 16 division. He played all four years he was at the University of Pennsylvania, becoming captain his senior year.

It was when he was living in Arizona, going to grad school, that Josh started playing at MAC squash tournaments. He became an athletic member after he moved to Portland about four years ago. “The more I’m involved in squash, the happier I am. It’s central to my life,” he says.

RHEA NELSON Organizing MAC’s Saturday women’s clinic can feel, at times, like herding cats.

Who better to take that on than a former U.S. Marine who did two tours of duty driving trucks in Iraq? There’s no avoiding Nelson’s recruitment methods: if multiple emails are ignored, she tracks down members to get a face-to-face commitment. As the MAC member coach for women, Nelson does more than that: she puts together women’s squash parties and events and is playing a key role organizing this year’s Oregon Open pro squash tournament. Nelson, who is an orthoptist at Casey Eye Institute, only started playing squash in 2010, but she quickly got good enough to beat her husband, a longtime player, over half the time they played. Her secret? She watched YouTube videos of pro players and copied their moves. Rhea has reached a level where she can give Logan a good game – as long as she gives Logan a few drinks beforehand.

MAURICIO SANCHEZ DE LA PAZ Mauricio, better known as Mau, travelled around the world as a kid as a member of Mexico’s junior national team. Sidelined from a professional career by a hamstring injury, he did a postgraduate year at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. That decision changed the course of his life. Sanchez de la Paz ended up taking the SATs and going to Princeton University, recruited by the squash coach whose son he beat at the U.S. Junior Open. “It all just kind of happened,” he says. Sanchez de la Paz majored in economics and went on to earn his MBA at Vanderbilt University. When Sanchez de la Paz, now 31, got a job offer at Propeller, a Portland-based business consulting company, he immediately Googled “squash” and “Portland.” Up popped a story about Julian Illingworth, former U.S. No. 1 and top world player, who grew up playing squash at the MAC and had recently moved back to Portland.

Illingworth, now an assistant MAC squash pro, spread the word that Sanchez de la Paz was in town, and the club offered him an athletic member position. Sanchez de la Paz holds a clinic for MAC juniors every other week, hits regularly with MAC’s top players and helps run MAC tournaments. He also represents MAC in tournaments across the country.

TOM TAYLOR Tom Taylor’s journey to MAC was a bit circuitous. The former Wells Fargo president of business banking for Oregon and Southwest Washington, he started playing squash soon after he moved to Portland at the old YMCA on Barbur Blvd., where he met Phillip Carbajal, one of the city’s top players. Phillip and his dad, Al Carbajal, are well known on the MAC squash courts. Two tries through the MAC lottery didn’t work, but an introduction to MAC former squash chair Marcia Wood was the ticket. Marcia realized Tom’s enthusiasm for the sport and his exceptional organizational skills would be an asset to the MAC squash community. In his role as a member coach, Taylor, 63, has almost doubled the number of players in the box league in the last three years.

He has also helped run the summer doubles leagues and spearheaded what’s called Thirsty Thursdays – a weekly team squash event with beer and wine. Unofficially, Taylor is there at every tournament, gathering and committee meeting, serving on subcommittees and always offering to help wherever it’s needed. He is known as the father of the box league. “I like seeing people improve and move up. It makes me feel good,” Taylor says.

OREGON OPEN CELEBRATES 10 YEARS AFTER A SIX YEAR HIATUS, THE PRO TOURNAMENT HAS FOUND SUCCESS IN A SLIGHTLY SMALLER FORMAT

E

very year, when some of the best squash players in the world descend on the MAC courts for the Oregon Open pro squash tournament, a question arises: Why Portland?

The answer is Anders Giltvedt. Putting on a Professional Squash Association-sanctioned event with $15,000 in prize money involves months of organizational preparation. More importantly, it takes a leader who is passionate enough about the sport to not mind the extensive spade work that goes into recruiting the most sought-after players, convincing businesses and individuals to cough up sponsorships and reminding fans to buy tickets – all in his spare time.

Giltvedt joined MAC as a member coach in 1995. Brainstorming ways to expand participation in local tournaments and woo families from all over the West Coast and Canada, Giltvedt, and former head squash pro Khalid Mir, came up with the idea of holding an invitational event, bringing a few professional players to the club for a small playoff adjacent to the amateur tournament. Along with MAC Squash Committee Chairman Matt Bassist, they created the 2002 invitational Pro Squash Tournament, inviting six pros and raising $4,000 in a matter of days from a few MAC members to cover the event.

The Invitational Tournament grew larger every year. In 2006, Geoff Wagner, Jamie Daigle and Charles Couch joined the effort and the Oregon Open 2007 was born. The idea was not just to invigorate the squash community, but to also give Portland’s junior players exposure to the apex of performance. To get the kids personally involved, the idea was to have pro players stay at the homes of host families. Within 60 days, the group raised more than $50,000 and had 28 pro players entered, with a waiting list of more than 30. The tournament attracted players from four continents and 12 countries.

Oregon Open Chair Anders Giltvedt, 2016 champion Omar Abdel Meguid, and runner-up Karim Ali Fathi.

Due to the financial crisis, the Oregon Open took a hiatus after the 2008 tournament until 2014, when it came back as a smaller, $15,000 event, a size Giltvedt thinks is more sustainable.

Last year’s 2016 Oregon Open had players from Egypt, India, England, New Zealand, Canada and Scotland. For Giltvedt, bringing together people from different countries and cultures who bond over the sport of squash is part of the thrill. He still remembers when his family hosted a professional Spanish soccer player for a week when he was 9 years old and how proud he was every day – and how approachable all the players were.

As a former professional team handball player, Giltvedt loved staying with families while he was travelling internationally.

The 2017 Oregon Open will take place at MAC Monday, Feb. 27 through Saturday, March 4, celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Expect to see some of the world’s greatest squash players competing for the $15,000 in prize money. As usual, Giltvedt is still frantically working around the clock to find local businesses, families and individuals to sponsor and attend the tournament.

To participate, contact him at GiltvedtA@gmail.com

Grand Prix are typically held the last Sunday of each month, September through May. The cost is $25 per event. Contact Ashley Read to register.

THURSDAY ROUND-ROBIN CHALLENGE

THE PROFESSIONALS While MAC has a team of member coaches and athletic members that help teach squash, the leaders of the programs are Head Pro Ashley Read and Assistant Pro Julian Illingworth.

Read joined MAC in 2014, bringing a truly unique and elite coaching status to the club. He is one of only 23 people in the world to earn the English Level 4 Coaching Certification – it’s the highest rating a squash pro can earn. After successful stints playing and coaching in Europe, Read moved to North America to coach at the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia and built a successful squash program at the Calgary Winter Club. Read has spent the past two years working to build a squash program that caters to all levels, not just elite players.

Illingworth is a lifelong MAC member who happens to be the most decorated American squash player ever. The ninetime U.S. national champion earned the highest ranking of any American player while traveling around the world playing squash. But his first foray into the game was playing with his dad, the late Roger Illingworth, at MAC’s courts. He quickly came under the tutelage of former Head Pro Khalid Mir before having a successful college career at Yale. Illingworth coaches and runs clinics at the club.

Interested in playing a pick-up squash game against a fellow MAC squash player? This is a great opportunity to meet MAC players, find a new partner, and get in some games. Play continues from 5:45-8 p.m. on singles courts 1,2,3 and 5.

Depending upon availability, several MAC squash players will be there to organize and lend their expertise. Courts will be designated according to level of play, depending upon that night’s attendance. Winner will stay on for two games max, then rotate next in line. All levels welcome. Juniors must be at least age 13 or play at either Women’s D Level or Men’s D Level.

Anyone who ventured into the club in December had the chance to see trees from 1891 through 2016, as well as a future 2066 tree, as the club celebrated with the theme of “125 Years of Holiday Magic.”

In honor of the theme, the Holiday Decorating Committee opted to give MAC children the opportunity to count the vintage holiday candy in their annual lobby scene contest. The member who guessed closest to the actual number was Archie Otley, age 3, who guessed 832. There were actually 843.

He received a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.

In addition, Archie gets the opportunity of flipping the switch to light the 2017 MAC Cornerstone Tree.

The Holiday Decorating Committee and Chair Margaret Lender would like to thank all of the MAC members who participated in making the club look amazing this season.

N

o need to wait until the 2020 Olympics to see gymnasts soar through the air again.

Hundreds of athletes tumble, flip and fly during the 34th annual MAC Open gymnastics meet at the club during Presidents Day weekend, Friday, Feb. 17, through Sunday, Feb. 19.

“The athletes – more than 1,100 from the Northwest and a handful from Odawara, Japan – compete in the Main Gym, West Gym and the Gymnastics Arena,” says MAC Gymnastics Manager Meg Doxtator.

If you go The MAC Open, which is free to members, is held in the Main Gym, the West Gym, and the Gymnastics Arena. Competition runs Friday, Feb. 17 to Sunday, Feb. 19, and features boys and girls gymnasts from levels 3-10. There also is a competition for girls in the Xcel program. Nonmembers may purchase all-day tickets at the gym and arena doors for $10 each. For event details, including session times, visit the MAC Open tab at theMAC.com.

The gymnasts range in level from grade-schoolers just starting competitive gymnastics to high-schoolers striving to compete in college.

No matter which level they are, the girls compete in four events: the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise.

The boys compete in six events: the floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar.

The meet’s most advanced athletes compete as teams at 1 p.m.

Sunday in the Main Gym. Like college meets, each team works to post the highest score by having each gymnast compete only in their best events. The team with the highest total score, based on its top three scores in each event, wins.

“The atmosphere is really cool,” says Level 10 gymnast Katherine Ager, who started gymnastics at MAC when she was 4 years old. “Team finals are fun because we’re all working together toward a common goal.”

The MAC Open holds a special place for club gymnasts because it’s put on by their coaches, families and friends, who do everything from time routines to sort awards during the meet.

“Plus, it’s nice to compete at home,” says Level 8 gymnast Rocky Farnell, who started gymnastics at MAC when she was 5 years old. “There’s a lot more support.”

GYMNASTICS

Making Friends on the Trip of a Lifetime MAC gymnasts learned how to communicate without speaking during a trip to Japan

E

leanor Roosevelt once said, “the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste the experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences,” and I agree with her completely. Those were the words that helped to begin my journey to Japan. I wrote a letter to my coaches explaining what I would get out of a trip to Japan and why I wanted to go, begging them to let me embark on and be part of such an amazing opportunity. Now, about four months since I wrote that letter, with a mind wandering over all the amazing things I might do and all the incredible experiences I would bring back, I can’t do anything but share my memories, because I would be selfish to keep such a spectacular trip to myself.

As we boarded the airplane in October, a whirl of emotions filled me up like a Halloween bag at the end of the night. I was scared about communicating with the people there, excited to meet the gymnasts at other gyms, confident that I wouldn’t get lost, delighted that I was going to experience a culture so far away, thankful that through the MAC I got the opportunity, and interested in all that I would learn and bring back.

Communicating without speaking. Seems impossible, right?

Turns out that you can have conversations without speaking a word of another person’s language. We talked about all sorts of things with the enchanting group of gymnasts we trained with in Japan.

We chatted about eye color, languages we speak, what we were most excited for in Japan, where we had been in Japan, plane flights, language barriers, and even boyfriends. You could see the determination and love for gymnastics in each and every gymnast. They truly dedicate their entire focus and undivided attention to the sport in front of them. They saved the talking and laughing for after practice, and that was one of the things I truly admired about the gymnasts

56 | The Wınged M |

FEBRUARY 2017

and wanted to bring back to our gym at MAC. They knew how to be funny, happy people outside of the gym, but they also knew how to turn it on and put 100 percent into each and every practice.

Aside from practicing and communicating with the inspiring gymnasts in Japan, as a group with our own personal tour guide, Coach Shuichi Goto, we got to see amazing temples with beautiful architecture. Just looking at all the old temples, you could almost read the story they were trying to tell through the worn spots, gold accents, smooth curves and intricate designs. I admired the rituals of cleansing our hands before entering the holy ground, and the bowing and clapping routine we did when we appeared directly in front of a temple as we threw in yen coins. We chatted as we went about every journey, but there was always that moment of silence that we all had when viewing the breathtaking architecture and the beautiful history behind each structure.

We girls not only grew as gymnasts, but also changed and flourished as people. Our coach, Meg Doxtator, instilled in us an overall concept of expectations for life, such as being considerate, dependable, and productive toward other people and yourself. We learned through our experience how many dedicated hours of focused work can lead you to doing greater things. As a group, we tried to blend in with the Japanese community so we could better observe them and their way of life. Many of them were very curious about why we were in Japan and where we came from. Lots of people tried talking to us, and that was one of my favorite parts; talking and laughing with courteous Japanese people in passing. Everyday that I woke up, I was delighted and grateful for the opportunity of a lifetime. Traveling is a necessity for a well-rounded life, and the fact that we got to execute that through gymnastics makes it even more special and memorable.

We love and live for gymnastics, we practice it anywhere, we travel across the world to do it, it is inside of us, it is our way of life.

PRE/POSTNATAL WELLNESS • 11 a.m.-noon Friday, Feb. 24 and Friday, March 3 • Team Training Room • $80 Join instructors Dena Rasmussen and Erin Zintek for a two-day workshop focusing on pre and postnatal fitness. This workshop offers the expectant mother guidance in how to navigate her fitness routine here at MAC, as well as at home, to ensure she is moving safely and efficiently throughout her pregnancy and post-delivery. This workshop focuses on Pilates, yoga and the Evolution PDX format, so that members can continue to enjoy the classes they love throughout their pregnancy safely, and return once the baby arrives feeling confident and secure.

Attendees are required to attend both sessions as they build on one another.

Nelson will address how chronic stress can affect every system in the body and will offer support options for better stress management. Moritz will lead participants through gentle yoga postures to inform and transform the mind and body’s response to stress. There are options to help move yourself toward healthier stress responses to prepare you to meet life’s challenges, not just recover from them. Both days cover the same materials.

WE228, WE314 KOSHAS • noon Monday, Feb. 6 • Team Training Room • $210 Yoga philosophy describes a human being as having five sheaths, or koshas, that layer the soul like the layers of an onion.

The outmost layer, our physical being, is built and cared for from the food we eat and nourished by universal life energy.

Encased by the physical body are four layers of subtle energy, invisible to us but distinct in their presence.

Strengthen your awareness of these sheaths of energy as you discover your inner core of goodness by exploring the five koshas with yoga instructors Kimmie Brunke and Carole Moritz. This six-week workshop will explore the koshas through instruction and movement to awaken and integrate all of the parts of your own self.

Focus on Women’s Heart Health

F

ebruary is American Heart Health Month. In recognition of that, I would like to focus on women’s heart health, since coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death for women.

Although heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S., only a little over one-half of women realize how potentially deadly heart disease is for them. Many organizations are working hard to shed light on the false notion that heart disease is an affliction that only affects men. One of the main reasons that this notion has been perpetuated is that the signs and symptoms of heart disease look very different between men and women.

Unlike men, who get pain and numbness radiating down their arm, common symptoms for women like neck or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or shortness of breath are more subtle. The reason is that heart attacks in men tend to stem from main major arteries, while women’s stem from the smaller arteries leading to the heart.

So while men are more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease women suffer more from coronary microvascular disease.

Unfortunately most of the testing we have

TREATING TYPE 2 DIABETES Reverse It! Prevent It!

H

aving type 2 diabetes dramatically increases the risk of health complications, including stroke, heart attack, dementia, cancer, blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage.

Dr. Miles Hassell reviews the limited effectiveness of current pharmacologic therapies at preventing those complications even though they help blood sugar levels, and points out the importance of emphasizing both prevention and reversal, rather than just treatment, during a presentation at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 6. After Hassell’s discussion, join West Portland Physical Therapy as they present on how exercise can make it easier to control blood sugar levels.

People with type 2 diabetes have too much glucose in their blood, either because their body doesn’t produce enough insulin to process it, or because their body is insulin resistant. Muscles can use glucose without insulin when one is exercising. It doesn’t matter if someone is insulin resistant or if they don’t have enough insulin: when people exercise, the muscles get the glucose they need and blood glucose levels go down. The presenters outline a very simple, easy-to-ease-into program that can be initiated even if a patient is insulin resistant. Exercise actually makes insulin more effective. Insulin resistance goes down when one exercises, and cells can use the glucose more effectively.

Learn about preventing and reversing diabetes using lifestyle choices that target the underlying problem of insulin resistance, and that reduce common heart disease risk factors such as elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, inflammation and obesity.

Hassell is an internist in Portland who established the Integrative Medicine program at Providence Cancer Center and is co-author of the popular diet and lifestyle guide Good Food, Great Medicine, now in its third edition. Please register for this free presentation.

today for heart disease is not directed to detecting the microvascular disease In most instances, the risk factors for heart disease are very similar in men and women. Those include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, stress, and family history. However, women have an added risk factor – menopause, or the loss of estrogen, which has shown to have protective benefits for the heart.

The point of Heart Health Month is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. What can you do?

Take control of your health. Most of the risk factors of coronary heart disease are well within our control. Two of the easiest things to control are diet and exercise. Commit to exercising at least 150 minutes per week. And, consider a diet rich in healthy fats (avocados, nuts and olive oil), complex carbs (brown rice over white), and lean proteins (poultry and fish).

A

fter a breakout bouldering season last year – when the team was ranked in the 92nd percentile during National Championships – MAC’s Climbing Team was favored to have another successful start to the 2016-17 Bouldering Championship season. A dedicated staff of experienced coaches and trainers; ambitious, striving athletes; and supportive, cohesive parents are responsible for the team’s exceptional growth and success since the team’s inception only seven years ago. To put things in perspective, in just the last year, MAC’s Climbing Team program has seen a 30-percent growth in participants.

In December, MAC hosted USA Climbing Youth Regional Bouldering Championships in celebration of MAC’s 125th anniversary. Athletes ages 8 to 18 traveled to Portland from the states of Alaska, Oregon and Washington, competing to qualify for a

coveted spot at Youth Bouldering Divisional Championships, which took place in Seattle in mid-January. Of the nearly 200 youth athletes signed up to compete in the event, MAC contributed 38 athletes – a roughly 23 percent uptick in MAC participants over last year.

MAC’s climbing team competed valiantly during Regional Championships, qualifying an unprecedented 32 out of 38 athletes for Divisional Championships – 12 more athletes than any other team in the region. Additionally, MAC’s climbing team took home first place and the USA Climbing Youth Bouldering Regional Title for the fourth time in the last five years.

GOLF

Member Coach Brings Wealth of Experience T

he Golf Committee is excited to announce a second golf member coach. This season, the club welcomes John Grothe, PGA Head Professional at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby. Grothe is passionate about teaching and promoting golf, and is excited to get to know MAC’s golfers.

Grothe was born and raised in Carmel, California. Although Carmel High School played their matches at Pebble Beach Golf Links, he did not begin to golf until after he graduated. Grothe was able to catch up on that missed opportunity when he played his first round of golf at age of 18 at Pebble Beach.

Grothe continued his career on the golf team at the University of California, Davis (‘94 Political Science) before entering the PGA program in 1998 at Pumpkin Ridge.

His career quickly brought him back to Pebble Beach, where he was an assistant professional at the fabled course for five years. While at Pebble Beach, he was elected to PGA membership in 2001.

Grothe returned to Oregon for good when Bandon Dunes was searching for a head professional in 2002. A few years later he was promoted to the director of golf, a position he held from 2005 to 2009. Most recently, Grothe has been with the Oregon Golf Association at the OGA Golf Course as the head professional, a position he held for five years.

At the OGA Golf Course, Grothe led many player development programs and was awarded the 2015 Player Development Award

62 | The Wınged M |

FEBRUARY 2017

from the PNW PGA. He was also awarded the 2008 Oregon PGA Professional of the Year, and has received awards for his junior golf program and golf shop merchandising.

Volunteerism is important to Grothe. He is a secretary for the Oregon PGA Board, and serves on the mentoring, player development and awards committees. Grothe also serves on the executive board of directors for the Children’ Cancer Association. In addition, he passionately supports the First Tee of Portland, as well as the Evans Scholar Foundation, which provides college scholarships to caddies. Grothe is surrounded by a great family, including Chase, Lauren, 13, and Colton, 11. They are active in the West Linn community, where they live. WM

Rules Tip for MAC You may remember the situation Dustin Johnson found himself in during the final round 2016 US Open at Oakmont. Johnson’s ball definitely moved, but it was unclear whether the player’s actions caused it to move. A new local rule eliminating the penalty when a ball is accidentally moved on the putting green was adopted by the USGA, R&A, OGA and WVCC this year.

Did the player accidentally move the ball or not?

Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1 are modified as follows: When a player’s ball lies on the putting green, there is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the player, his partner, his opponent or any of their caddies or equipment. (The full text of the rule is available at www.usga.org)

rom Egyptian Revival to Northwest Regional style, Portland’s neighborhoods are a cornucopia of architectural treasures.

Each architectural style and element has a story behind it. Mansard roofs, for example, have their origin in 17th century France, when houses were taxed by the number of floors below the roof.

Architect François Mansart created an adaptation to the tax code: he designed a roof with dormer windows to give his clients an extra, tax-free floor.

Join Walking and Hiking member coach Eric Wheeler on Thursday, February 16, at 7 p.m. in a fun and entertaining look at our city’s rich architectural heritage. With a trove of photos, he offers an overview of Portland’s historic and contemporary residential building styles. You’ll come away a new appreciation for our built environment as well as some new architectural Eric Wheeler vocabulary you can use to impress your friends.

For 20 years, Wheeler worked in Wisconsin as an architectural historian and leader of local and statewide historic preservation organizations. He has written numerous National Register of Historic Places nominations, taught graduatelevel classes in architectural history, and designed and led walking tours of historic commercial and residential neighborhoods.

The annual Impact Award is presented to one of our community grant partners in the Portland metropolitan area.

The Rose City Rollers Junior programs empower young women ages 9-17 through participation in flat track roller derby. The Rose Petal and Rosebud groups foster a MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com team environment that enables skaters to express uniqueness and individuality via a non-traditional sport. Roller derby provides a supportive community where differences are celebrated, commitment to improvement is encouraged, and being your unique self is valued.

EXERCISE AND DECATHLON

A Close Race for the Team Title

The 2016 Team Decathlon wrapped up in November. The event introduces and reacquaints athletes to core decathlon events and gets them ready for the spring competition.

Each participant only competes in five events, so this is a great way to test the waters and see why the decathlon is fun and challenging.

Participants match up with friends or family, evenly dividing up 10 events among two-person teams to match their abilities or preferences. Events include pull-ups, bench press, jump rope, 40-yard shuttle, mile run, stationary bike, 1,000-meter row, vertical jump, basketball free throws and 50-yard swim.

This is third year in a row that Mark Bussey and Ryan Moshofsky (Team We’ve Been Trumped) have teamed up and won the overall event with the highest total score of 8,881. Jordan Ped and Hailey Barribusch (Team Hoomoos) had the next best score, with 8,864. Judie Simpson and Kathleen Niedermeyer scored 8,585 and Jared and Nancy Shipley (Team Speedy Shipleys) were next with 8,509.

Committees were challenged to enter teams, and the Exercise and Decathlon Committee beat the Golf Committee.

Training for the decathlon is a year-round event, so start training and come join us in the spring (Classic and/or Iron Man/Woman).

And start forming your teams for next fall.

PERSONAL TRAINING

Becoming a Better Runner Join MAC Personal Trainers Nathan Coldham and Dylan Ferrell to learn the Pose Method to help improve your running technique. This workshop meets for five consecutive Wednesdays at 3 p.m., starting Feb. 15. The Pose Method running technique consists of three elements – pose, fall and pull – and it accepts gravity as the primary force for forward movement instead of muscular effort. Proper technique is the cornerstone of every sports discipline or any activity that involves movement. Learning the correct running pose is just as important as having a stable position for an overhead squat or proper asana in yoga. Improving your running technique can help you to run faster, run longer and avoid injuries.

Coldham is a certified personal trainer, and holds certifications in Fitness Nutrition and Exercise Therapy. He is also a specialist in strength and conditioning and movement and mobility, and is a weightlifting performance coach. Ferrell is a certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist and certified kettlebell instructor.

dojos for the return of the Oregon Holiday Banquet, a renewed tradition to celebrate the year’s accomplishments and recognize outstanding students across the Japan Karate Federation’s Oregon schools.

MAC Head Karate Instructor, Sensei Bill Plapinger, presented six awards to adults and juniors from MAC, highlighting hard work, dedication and a positive attitude. Most notable among those honored from MAC was longtime karate student Sensei Philippe de la Mare, who was recognized with Adult Student of the Year after passing his Nidan test and earning his second-degree black belt. Sensei Philippe trained five to six times a week over the course of the year to prepare for his Nidan test while also working with other karate students to improve their skills. A second adult award went to Paige Crawford. Although a freshman in high school, Crawford received Most Improved Adult in recognition of her longtime participation in the advanced/adult class. As Sensei Bill noted at the banquet, “Paige trains like an adult, she fights like an adult, and she sure hits like an adult.”

MAC junior students also received awards for distinguishing themselves among their peers in training, testing and competitions.

The juniors receiving awards all have good attendance in class, show good karate spirit, and have improved their skills in the last year.

Awards were presented to Miguel Olivia for Most Improved, Julian Mansouri for Strong Karate Spirit, Roman Hernandez for Most Improved, and Charlie Kinsley for Most Inspirational Student, with a special mention of his great work to prepare and compete at National Championships. Many of the juniors who received awards attend the advanced/ adult class – an accomplishment in itself.

PICKLEBALL

Check Out America’s Fastest Growing Sport According to an NBC news story, pickleball, which is played with specialized paddles and balls on a tennis-sized court, is the fastest Continued on page 68

ATHLETICS Pickleball Continued from page 66 growing sport in America. Groups of pickle ball enthusiasts have been meeting in the Main Gym from 12:30-3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for what Pickelball Committee Chair Gay Hart calls “friendly, casual, beginner-intermediate level play.”

Players use balls that are hollow and have holes in them like wiffle balls, and paddles that resemble an oversized ping pong paddle.

Because of the use of paddles, the game tends to draw people who have played tennis or ping pong, though people who have never played those games can learn how to play pickleball easily. You don’t have to travel as far as you do in tennis, so people whose shoulders or knees have started to bother them can play more easily. Primarily older people play, however, all ages and abilities are welcome to play. MAC has purchased paddles and balls, so just bring your sneakers and loose clothing.

According to the USA Pickleball Association, the origin of the name is a mystery. Some claim the game’s originators had a dog named Pickles who always stole the ball.

Pickleball was created as a family game on the beaches of Bainbridge Island, Washington.

FEBRUARY 2017

Hart emphasized, “It’s fun. That’s the point of it. On the national level, it can be played very seriously, and has championships, and can be very competitive. But locally, it’s mostly played for fun. And pickleball is a very social game. People come and wait to play the next game when the court becomes available. You don’t have to make a big time commitment to play. People rotate in and off the court as games come to a close, and meanwhile, the folks who are waiting socialize. That’s fairly typical.”

In the spring, MAC adds two more courts and, if there is interest, we will coordinate clinics and a tournament.

PILATES

Pilates and MELT Method Workshop Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. It has since expanded around the world and is used in studios, health clubs and physical therapy clinics. The MELT Method was developed over the last 15 years by Sue Hitzmann, an exercise physiologist based in New York City. Put these two methods together, and you have a unique exercise experience that will deepen your appreciation of both methods!

Jean Leavenworth teaches a fourweek MELT workshop in February.

Join Jean Leavenworth for a four-week workshop in the Pilates Studio on Mondays from 4:30-5:25 p.m. starting Monday, Feb. 6. No experience is needed, but for members who have done either Pilates or MELT classes previously, this will be a great way to review and expand your repertoire. The workshop will combine moves from both Pilates and MELT Method sequences to improve alignment, increase core strength and reduce “stuck stress” in the connective tissue system.

ATHLETICS Jean Leavenworth has an MS in Kinesiology and has been an instructor and instructor trainer for Stott Pilates since 1998.

She has taught for Stott Pilates in eight different countries. She was introduced to the MELT Method in 2011 and has incorporated it into her Pilates practice ever since. Contact Jean to register at jleavenworth@themac. com or ext. 859.

SWIMMING - MASTERS

Swimmer Reflects on first meet in 22 years In November, MAC masters swimmers welcomed the short course meters season by competing in local and regional swim meets spanning the West Coast – from nearby Hood River to Los Angeles.

One swimmer, Meredith Weisshaar, returned to competition in November after a two-decade hiatus.

“My last meet was the IHSAA (Indiana) State Championships in either late 1993 or early 1994,” she says. “The hardest part was getting over my nerves and going off the blocks for that very first race.”

Weisshaar would go on to place first in Hood Meredith River in each of her five Weisshaar events in the 40-44 age group – including the sprint freestyle, breaststroke, and the individual medley: “My favorite event was the 100 IM, because that event didn’t exist for [swimmers] past age 10.”

Weisshaar reflected on what it was like to compete again. “I noticed quite a few differences between racing at age 40 and racing at age 17. For example, it’s harder to sprint now – I should probably hit the weight room a couple days a week to get some of those fast-twitch muscles back.”

Besides her triumphant return to the pool, it was the atmosphere of the deck – and the nostalgia that comes with it – that she reveled in most. “My parents got a chance to be swim parents again, in their 70s, and my own kids got to see me win my first heat. My mom even told me I needed to ‘turn it over more’ in the 50 breaststroke. Moms are always right.”

Her take on competing with fellow MAC Masters? “It helped to know my MAC teammates were there to cheer me on, and it was awesome to watch them race and set some records. Also, there was a 94-year-old man competing! If that’s not an inspiration, what is?”

Exploring the origins of love – when it comes to scoring in tennis.

SYNCHRO

• Good for emotional and psychological health. The endorphins the body creates during physical activity help with depression, mood, and psychological health.

Often called underwater ballet, synchronized swimming seems to be making a comeback with all ages. The sport’s origin dates back to 1924 in Canada, when a group of women who were involved in water polo and diving started what they referred to as “ornamental swimming.” It took until 1968 to see synchronized swimming at the Olympics, but since then, it has been one of the most watched events. It could also be your next sport!

Here are some incredible reasons to try Synchro: • Good for your brain. Any time there is a routine to be memorized, the brain is working to retain it. Keeping the brain active is a key component to both creating new neural pathways and keeping existing ones healthy.

• Flexibility. Studies show that synchronized swimmers rank second only to gymnasts in flexibility, which helps prevent age-related injuries.

• Increased aerobic capacity and stamina.

Tests also show that synchronized swimmers rank second only to distance runners in aerobic capacity.

• Increased lung capacity. Increased lung capacity is an overall boost to your body. It helps you increase memory and metabolic functions, and helps decrease chances of heart attacks.

• Increased muscular strength. Synchronized swimmers develop strong muscle and core strength, which helps protect your back and inner organs from injuries.

• Increased confidence and team building.

Competing in a group builds camaraderie and self-esteem in every competitor.

Most synchronized swimmers love the water, and the sport’s benefits make it an incredible workout, physically and emotionally. Prior experience is not necessary to start synchronized swimming. You just need the desire for a low-impact, healthy, brain-stimulating workout that you can do into your older years.

If you’re interested in learning more about this sport contact Lucie Svrcinova 503-5177513 or LSvrcinova@themac.com.

The Hidden Benefits of Synchronized Swimming

TENNIS

The Game of Tennis Begins with Love Every game and set in tennis begins with love. The mysterious scoring system extends back to the 12th century, when a game in France called “real tennis” was played. The server would shout “tenez,” which means take heed or play, similar to “fore” in golf.

Eventually, the term became the modern name of tennis.

There are several theories on why the term “love” is used in scoring. One popular hypothesis is that “love” comes from the French word for the egg – “l’œuf” – appropriate due to the egg’s round shape. Some historians believe English mispronunciations corrupted the word. A more likely explanation is that it comes from the Dutch/Flemish “love,” which means honor. If a player scored no points, the phrase “omme lof spelen” would translate as “played for honor.”

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball Season in Full Swing The MAC Junior Volleyball program is in full swing. The season started in November with tryouts and team formation, followed by practices and a friendly tournament in December. Teams moved on to competitive tournaments in January, two of which were hosted at MAC. The remainder of the season will be spent practicing, competing in regional tournaments, playing in friendly tournaments, and competing in at least one out-of-state tournament for most teams. For President’s Day weekend, many of our MAC volleyball teams will be traveling to a multiday tournament in Seattle.

The program has nine teams with a total of 90 players for the 2016-17 season. That includes three 12-and-under teams, three 14-and-under teams, two 16-and-under teams and one 18-and-under team.

MAC hosts a 14-and-under tournament Saturday, March 4. Come out and support our junior volleyball players!

YOGA

Re-calibrating the iHunch Friday Focus, 6:45 p.m. March 3 With increasing attention to our smartphones, tablets and computers – accompanied by the inherent downward tilt of the head and slumped upper back –we’re ruining our postures and creating potential long-term damage.

There’s more: recent studies demonstrate how poor posture can adversely affect our mood and memory. The New York Times recently published an article describing how a typical 60-degree tilt of the head forward is equivalent to about 60 pounds, or five gallons of paint. Considering your head weighs 10-12 pounds, it’s not difficult to imagine the orthopedic risks.

History at MAC Valued at $212,000 (not including furnishings), the new clubhouse included a large billiard room, four bowling lanes, and one of the best libraries in the Pacific Northwest to serve its 2,960 members.

A Lovely Clubhouse, But No Dining Room?

M

AC’s Salmon Street clubhouse formally opened for the Annual Meeting on Feb. 27, 1912. After the tragic fire of July 14, 1910, which destroyed both the 1900 clubhouse and the Multnomah Field grandstand, the Board of Trustees quickly organized a financial and construction plan for rebuilding. Construction began in February 1911. On April 5, 1911, former President Theodore Roosevelt spoke at Multnomah Field, praising the club for promoting exercise and allowing women members, Luke Sprunger at a cornerstone dedication ceremony schedJUNIOR ARCHIVIST uled to accommodate his quick trip to Portland.

Beginning with the opening ball on May 14, 1912, the new clubhouse hosted a number of well-attended parties, live musical performances and other entertainment acts. Local vaudeville acts and member performers were frequently featured at smokers in the early years, though at the club, these social events became largely dominated by boxing matches by the 1930s.

members. There were rooms for residents on the second and third floors. The building also featured a large gym, a swimming tank, and two below-ground floors (basement and sub-basement).

Annexes completed between 1912 and 1926 added room for handball, badminton, squash and other activities, as spaces were continually repurposed to suit the changing tastes of members.

Strangely, the clubhouse did not include a designated dining room; this omission was rather unpopular with members. By early 1914, a portion of the auxiliary gymnasium was converted into a grill room to serve lunch. Sometime after the opening of the clubhouse, the library became part of a new main dining room – it’s hard to read on an empty stomach.

The new grandstand opened on June 22, 1911, with a club baseball team victory over a team from the University of Keio in Japan.

It foreshadowed the 1923 grandstand enlargement, which increased the stadium capacity to 15,000.

By quickly planning and implementing the financing and construction of a new clubhouse, MAC leaders and other members turned disaster into opportunity, expanding and improving social and athletic facilities and encouraging the ongoing growth the club.
