oing back and reading my first president’s column reminded me how this year’s experience expanded my love for MAC.

My daily interactions with members, staff and stakeholders have provided Holly Lekas wonderful and lasting PRESIDENT memories. Meeting members in every corner of our club during all hours deepened my appreciation of this exceptional member community. Members have challenged and inspired me, assisting me in guiding our beloved club. Thank you!

The Board of Trustees can point to many accomplishments over the past year: The launching of the Exercise and Conditioning Refresh Committee, which will work on much needed updates to our exercise area.

Our strategic plan is about to launch a new project management coordination system.

The planning efforts for improving facility access are moving forward. We have improved our member communication with the guidance of the Communications Committee in partnership with MarCom staff. All the while, we kept the goal of enhancing member experience in mind.

Most MAC projects take longer than one year, which requires strong transitions and teamwork between boards. Each new board builds on the foundation of the prior one. I would like to personally thank past trustees for their support. Their continued commitment makes MAC stronger.

Of special note this year are the trustees who have given countless hours to helping our club secure new leadership during the general manager search. Janice Marquis chaired the GM Search Committee with members Kyle Goulard, Laura Martin, Kim Sisul, Scott Stevens and Dwight Terry.

Marlis Miller and D’Anne O’Neill, the general manager transition chairs, have organized and guided the search process. These members have made an astronomical difference. Thank you!

Our incoming trustee class of Kyle Goulard, Mike Mathews, Irma Valdez and Marilyn Whitaker is poised to step into leadership and seamlessly carry MAC forward. They form a powerhouse of talent and commitment. Look for amazing leadership

from this group. I am a bit jealous that I will not get to serve with them.

Each Board of Trustees is comprised of three “classes” of four trustees. This year’s first-year trustees, Chase McPherson, Carol Robertson, Rob Torch and Reidun Zander, hit the ground running. They offered differing perspectives, creating rich conversations.

They asked tough questions and provided meaningful input. Thank you!

Our second-year trustees, soon to be our new board officers, Connie DunkleWeyrauch, William Lee, Marianne Ritchie and Mike Silvey, and have given generously of their time and talents. Their work, individually and as a team, have moved us forward. It is easy to see that the club will be in excellent hands as this outstanding class takes the lead.

My class started the year with a promise to run together to the finish line, and we have done that. Vice President Rebecca Frinell is an amazing, talented leader who brightens the room with her smile, wit and wisdom.

Treasurer Sandy Moore II has a way of telling a story that focuses a laser light on a topic, identifying the core issue. Secretary Tanya McGee is gifted in her ability to choose just right words. She models respectful caring for people and topics. I admire these three unselfish leaders. They have become my friends and family. Thank you, officers!

I have seen the power of our memberowned, governed and led Club. However, it is our talented staff that runs the daily operations, tends to the details, and makes sure this ship moves forward. They serve member needs tirelessly. This year, former president Bob Radler a “greater good” leader, agreed to serve as interim General Manager. He replaced his member hat for a staff hat. He forged pathways for communication and better understanding of Club activities. We thank him for his service!

And, of course, I want to thank my family for their support. My children, Ryan, Robin, Ragan and Ellen; their spouses, Erica, Matthew and Nolan; and my grandchildren, Riley, Tanner and Audrey. My sister, Joy, who keeps me on center, and my husband, Jim, who has picked up all the pieces, keeping our home life moving forward.

To serve on the Multnomah Athletic Club Board of Trustees has been an honor. Thank you for your trust and support as I served as president. It has been an incredible journey.

O

ver the past six months I’ve received a number of questions from members that, at their core, were related to the club’s governance structure. Once I explained the system, the response was often, “Oh! Now Robert Radler I get it!,” and no INTERIM GENERAL further discussion MANAGER was necessary. In an effort to help reduce such questions being directed to the new GM, here is a short MAC governance tutorial.

My first foray into the MAC committee system was about 20 years ago on the swimming committee during a time when the club began instituting sport team fees. I thought such fees were outrageous and could possibly be devastating for the club’s youth swimming team (both of my children were then on the team). I went to meetings and strongly voiced my opinions, but to no avail. Sport team fees became a way of MAC life, and the MAC youth swim team remains healthy.

I subsequently found myself on the Athletic Committee, which gave me a much broader view of the programs MAC offers and understanding of the relatively small part youth swimming plays in a much larger club sports picture.

I learned, for example, that MAC has 26 sport committees, many more individual sports programs not overseen by a committee, and hosts some 400 youth sports-related camps each summer.

The Athletic Committee also opened my eyes to how MAC’s robust committee system is engaged with governing (but not operating) every aspect of the club via the Board of Trustees; Athletics, Budget and Finance, Property, Human Resources, Diversity, Member Events, Membership, House, Communications, and Food & Beverage Committees; and numerous subcommittees and ad hoc committees.

All these committees, by the way, are populated by members on a volunteer basis.

After my Athletic Committee experience, I had the pleasure and honor of serving on several other committees and, eventually, on the board. All the while, I became more and more aware of how small the swimming aspect of MAC is in the large, complex club community.

Before I joined the board, I knew intellectually that someone had to make decisions for the whole club and not be an advocate of just swimming or just lowering member dues or just diversifying the club or just renovating a locker room. Being on the board put that intellectual exercise into stark reality. I saw my board peers and committee members put aside their biases and preferences and make decisions that were good for the whole club regardless of how much the decisions might hurt a favorite sport program, increase their member dues or make them the target of the ire of friends and family.

I now have the honor of being the interim general manager, and if you have read my prior columns, you probably can tell how naive I was about the operations of the club when I started in this job, despite having been on the board. The more I have learned about the operational and employee side of MAC, the more my esteem has grown for the employees whose hard work, knowledge, experience and professionalism make MAC operate. I am not only talking about what members see day to day, but also about how MAC employee leadership works in partnership with the board on projects such as creating and implementing a strategic plan for the longterm health of MAC. None of this is meant to suggest that members should not raise questions or concerns about club governance or operations. I strongly believe MAC needs its members’ input; be it through emails, sounding boards or service on committees.

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC’s MarCom team has a new admiral at the helm. Director Stephanie Cameron joined in late December, bringing a wealth of experience in hospitality, marketing and communications from leadership positions with Hilton Hotels, the Oregon Zoo and, most recently, Portland Public Schools.

“I knew MAC by its impressive reputation for unique, high-end excellence, and after meeting staff, members and trustees during interviews and onboarding, my notion that this is a very special place has been confirmed,” she says. “I’m thrilled to be a part of it, and can’t wait to see what’s next as we usher in a new chapter for the club.”

A collaborative problem solver by nature, Cameron looks forward to working with her team to find creative solutions to MAC’s communications needs. She also is excited to combine her expertise from previous roles into initiatives for the club’s distinctive social and athletic ecosystem. An animal lover, Cameron is a passionate equestrian who adores the outdoors. She and her husband live on a small farm in Camas, Washington.

There are few forces in nature like a proud grandparent. Member Neta Sharp’s enthusiasm can barely be contained when she talks about grandsons Henry and Noah Overbeck, who recently became Eagle Scouts.

The highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America, only four percent of those who start the Scouts BSA Program ascend to the Eagle Scout level, according to the organization.

“In order to reach this level, Boy Scouts requires a tremendous amount of time, and we have been amazed that they could fit it all in and continue to maintain good grades,” Sharp says. Over the years, they’ve also squeezed in swim team, weightlifting and other athletic pursuits at MAC. Both are seniors at Lincoln High School, and play varsity baseball.

Sharp, who plays bridge and water volleyball at MAC, says the boys have even made it to a few games of the latter in the West Pool over the years. “The group enjoys having them, and they admit they enjoy it also,” she says. “My husband (Stanley) and I are very proud of them!”

One of MAC’s most relentlessly adorable traditions involves the winner of the Holiday Open House’s Candy Counting Contest flipping the switch at the Christmas Tree Lighting the following year.

Members hoping for a reprieve from the debilitating cuteness in 2020 are out of luck!

Meet Maggie Carew, the estimating prodigy who not only took the coveted prize, but actually got within one gumball of the correct total of 3,047! Carew claims that her favorite subject in school is art rather than math, but that’s hard to believe when looking at the scratch paper she used to meticulously arrive at the guess of 3,048.

“I like candy,” she says, attributing her success to a sweet tooth rather than a fondness for numbers. As an artist — who can’t wait to paint an owl at her upcoming ninth birthday party — her favorite part of seasonal club festivities are the creative displays that fill the lobby. When not astounding the Holiday Decorating Committee, the Catlin Gabel student also enjoys gymnastics and swimming at the club, as well as the spaghetti and popcorn at the Sports Pub.

Block 7 Development Update Answers to frequently asked questions In mid-December, MAC announced it was entering into a development agreement for Mill Creek Residential Trust to develop an apartment building with parking on Block 7.

for security and facility staff to clean up the property. The project will address those safety concerns and create more parking for members while providing more housing options in our neighborhood.

The design process, including community outreach, has now begun. What follows are answers to some member questions received so far.

What’s planned for the site?

Why is Block 7 development moving forward now?

Recent changes to the Central City Plan, adopted by the City Council, provides MAC with the opportunity to address the long-standing lack of adequate parking. The change adds commercial use parking for MAC as part of an apartment building.

Can you build parking underground but keep the site in its current state?

The proposal is for construction of 330 apartments with 10 percent being affordable units. The project also includes 225 parking spaces for MAC and about 170 spaces for building residents. This proposal complies with city code.

How tall will the building be?

That’s not known yet. While a brief item in the January NW Examiner noted the building would be 13 stories, that figure is just a placeholder. The developer proposed that figure to advance the project through the design review process with the city.

No. The block is zoned RH (Residential High Density), which means only residential units and parking can be built on the site. The city requires that 15 percent of the site be set aside for open space, which is part of the proposal.

Members are welcome to view draft designs of the project at the Wednesday, Feb. 5, Goose Hollow Planning Committee meeting, beginning at 7 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, SW 18th and Jefferson, Room 202.

Another critical issue that’s prompting development now is that MAC faces increasing liability issues with the block in its current state. There are more discarded needles and unwanted activities that pose a serious liability, as well as additional costs

What’s the next step?

It is early in both the design phase and the city’s design review process, which includes community feedback. Tentatively, the earliest construction could start is 2021, with completion in 2023 or later.

How big are the apartments?

There will be studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Most of the affordable units will have three bedrooms to accommodate families, but smaller affordable units may also be available.

Members will be kept informed as the project moves forward. In the meantime, send comments or questions to community@themac.com.

The Future of Parking at MAC Facilities Director John Sterbis answers member questions

P

arking in the MAC garage has consistently been the No. 1 complaint in member surveys. Last year, the Board of Trustees commissioned a report by an independent consultant to provide a roadmap to address the issue. It then formed an ad hoc facilities access committee to enact key recommendations from the report, which identified a profound need for better management of nonmember usage of the parking facilities, especially during periods of high club usage.

How will these changes improve members’ chances of finding parking when the club is really busy?

How long will it take to install the gates, and will members be able to access the garage during that time?

The mechanical access control system is programmable to allow, or deny, nonmember parking and provide controlled access for MAC members. Staff will continue their weekly parking meetings to maintain an ongoing parking strategy and program the amount of allowed nonmember parking accordingly.

The construction and implementation timeframe are still being planned, but we are looking at completion this year by the late summer or early fall. Any inconvenience to members and visitors will be communicated once all the specifics are finalized.

Facilities Director John Sterbis took time to answer questions about the development of a parking-demand tool and the club’s plan to add controlled access, such as entry/exit gates, to enhance member experience.

Typically we make arrangements for those events to park in our overflow areas in order to minimize the impact on the club members. In November, the surface parking lot across from Providence Park on SW 20th Avenue will be added to the club’s parking inventory. That, along with our current Portland Towers parking garages, will provide overflow capacity for nonmembers to use during events.

What is being done to improve parking availability for members in the MAC garage?

Sterbis: MAC’s parking manager, events management and athletics staff meets weekly to develop parking strategies based on the club’s master schedule of events.

In the short term, that includes deciding where nonmembers can park based on event type, size and time of day, and communicating that to event planners and staff.

For the long term, the group is working with the ad hoc facilities access committee to develop a parking-demand tool to help the club make more informed event-scheduling decisions.

Additionally, in mid-2020, MAC plans to install a mechanical access control system, which will most likely include gate arms and radio-controlled access devices, to better control who can park in the member garage and when.

Doesn’t MAC usually host parking for heavily attended events that make money for the club? Isn’t that often what causes a lack of parking for members?

Does being able to accurately monitor Parking Structure use through entries and exits help inform future decision-making?

Definitely. The data collected helps us know what days and times create the most pressure on the parking supply. We’ll be able to measure how long members typically stay parked, which will help better detect misuse of the facility.

As to the gates, will members swipe a card or enter a code on a keypad to lift the security gates? What if someone loses their card or code?

The actual credentials used to access the garage via the gate arms is still being determined by member committees. There will be alternate means of entry available just in case members have a rental car or forget their credential. As a last resort, there will be the ability at the gate to contact a garage parking attendant, who will then allow entry.

At high-traffic times, such as 5:30 p.m.

Wednesdays, cars are streaming into the garage. Will the gate move fast enough to keep cars from backing up onto Salmon Street or 20th Avenue?

The prospective vendors have assured us that their mechanical systems are fast and will cause little back-up. Staff and ad hoc facilities access committee members have toured local garages that use the hardware we are researching, and the gates do detect authorized cars and allow quick entry and exit.

What if there is a malfunction with the gates? If cars start backing up into the street, how quickly can the situation be resolved?

There will be a dedicated person monitoring the gate intercoms and system status. This person can remotely open the gates if needed.

Will members have to pass through a gate to exit the garage?

Yes. Having gates at the inbound and outbound lanes creates a more secure parking facility. Also, allowing the parking management system to monitor inbound and outbound traffic will give us a more accurate estimate of how the garage is used, as well as real-time parking capacity numbers.

Athletic foundation seeks scholarship readers One definition of community is: “a fellowship with others as the result of a shared common goal or interest.” During the Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s scholarship season, the shared goal is helping make educational achievements a reality for individuals with financial need.

The foundation is looking for volunteers to help select the 2020 Loprinzi Scholarship Program finalists — the first step on the path to awarding $8,000 to three amazing young people. Named for inspirational MAC member Joe Loprinzi, the program reaches deep into the community, making the prize available to students at 29 area high schools. This year, a new $1,000 scholarship will also be awarded to each school finalist!

Multnomah Athletic Foundation provides community grants and scholarships focused on promoting athletic participation in the Portland area. Contributions made to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Learn more at MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

FEBRUARY 2020

Over the past few years, MAF has worked to open the application process to more students. A nomination is no longer required — if individuals see themselves as candidates, they are! The foundation also invested in a professionally managed, online tool to make the application process accessible to more students.

An increase in applications means more help is needed. The foundation is looking to gather 30 volunteers to help make the educational dreams of dedicated, smart,

Although it is against club rules, members’ guests sometimes use the Parking Structure when joining friends at the club for dinner. Since the gates will deny them access to the garage, will they have to park on the street where there is rarely parking available?

The rules for member guest usage of the garage are still being developed by the ad hoc facilities access committee.

How will members get a parking key card? Will they need to pay for it?

The type of entry credentials and the cost and process of payment is still being determined by committees. The goal is to provide members as seamless an experience as possible while offering the level of parking control that is desired.

How will adding gates to the garage and implementing a parking-demand tool be paid for? Will it impact members’ dues?

This project is already budgeted, and staff is working with the ad hoc facilities access committee on selection of a system and contractor. Once there is a final picture of the overall costs, the impact, if any, on dues can be determined. At this point, we do not anticipate any dues increases, however, depending on the credentials selected, there may be nominal costs to members in some situations. More to come on this. WM

2020 Lottery Entry Form Period Opens Feb. 1 Opportunity knocks. In this case, it’s the opportunity to give your friends and family a chance at MAC membership through the club’s lottery.

The lottery is a uniquely MAC way to solve a uniquely MAC problem — this one of the nation’s only private clubs that faces such high demand that it maintains a waitlist for potential members. The membership size is limited, and rather than let the waitlist grow to an unmanageable length — frustrating potential members in the process — MAC creates a new waitlist through a lottery every few years. The waitlist is only tapped when there are membership vacancies at the club.

The 2020 Lottery is the club’s twelfth.

MAC is special because its members are special. Do you have friends or family who you think would enjoy the club and make it an even better place to be? Now’s the time to let them know what a wonderful place MAC is and encourage them to enter the lottery before the May 29 deadline.

Membership Strategy The lottery is used as a way to manage the demographic mix of the club. MAC’s strategic plan calls for an emphasis on maintaining current headcount and achieving a multigenerational, lifestyle and demographic mix that ensures financial sustainability. The 2020 Lottery is geared toward attracting MAC’s future members, based upon member target profiles that were identified in 2018.

Resources Available to Spread the Word MAC has a number of resources available to help potential members learn about the club and help decide if MAC is a good fit.

Members are encouraged to share the following with potential applicants: • maclottery.com • Lottery brochure • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • Open House and Family Friday events • Complimentary athletic guest passes (waives $15 fee) Visit maclottery.com, At Your Service or the Member Services Office to pick up a brochure and complimentary athletic passes or find out more.

FEBRUARY 2020

KEY DATES • Entry period opens: Saturday, Feb. 1 • Early bird deadline: Friday, April 17 • Final entry deadline: 6 p.m. Friday, May 29 • Lottery draw date: Thursday, June 11

MAC LOTTERY ENTRY CATEGORIES • Families 40 and older • Individuals 40 and older • Families 22-39 years • Individuals 22-39 years Lottery entry instructions and forms are available at maclottery.com.

More About the Process Because MAC is a not-for-profit club, lottery entrants cannot apply without being proposed by a current member. Entry instructions and forms are available at maclottery.com. Lottery entrants must also submit a $100 non-refundable fee.

Additional Chances to be Drawn in the Lottery • All those who submit a completed entry form with sufficient payment will automatically receive one lottery ticket. No more than three tickets per entry can be awarded, but additional tickets are given to those who: • Complete an entry form and submit payment prior to the April 17 early bird deadline • Participated in a prior lottery — without having ever been drawn

Initiation Fees and Next Steps After the Lottery Drawing The 2020 Lottery drawing takes place Thursday, June 11. The individuals whose ticket is drawn that day are placed on the

waitlist for their respective intake category in the order they were drawn. Entrants and their proposers are notified the following day if they were drawn, and if they were, their draw number.

The 2020 Lottery initiation fee is $6,000 per adult. The lucky individuals whose names are drawn on June 11 must submit a completed membership application and a minimum deposit of one-third of the full initiation fee by Monday, July 24. For each adult, one-third of the full initiation fee is $2,000.

The receipt of the completed membership application fee and one-third initiation fee deposit secures the lottery applicant(s) place on the waitlist. When their number comes up on the waitlist, lottery applicants are processed for membership. Once they have been approved for membership and pay the remaining two thirds of their initiation fee (payment plans are available), they are eligible to join the club.

Give friends and family the opportunity of MAC membership!

CLUB NEWS

In Memoriam Beverly June Carroll Helmer June 26, 1925-Nov. 8, 2019 Beverly Helmer was born in Portland, Oregon, to Hazel Marie Valliere and Benjamin Harrison Carroll. Her sister, Pauline Barton, was nine years her senior.

She attended Ockley Green Grade School, graduated from Jefferson High School in 1943 and in 1947 from University of Oregon, where she was an Alphi Phi. She taught English and drove the school bus at Redmond High School in 1947, then returned to Jefferson High School to teach English. In 1948, she married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, John Helmer Jr. They were married 63 years until John’s passing in 2011. They lived most of their married life in the same house on SW Vista Ave. As a couple, they traveled by bicycle through Europe for 18 months in 1953-1954, and later welcomed children, John III, Carol and Eric.

She devoted her life to her husband and children and enthusiastically encouraged their many sporting, social and school activities. She was a room mother and volunteered at her children’s schools.

The family spent a school year abroad in Annecy, France, in 1967-68.

As a young Camp Fire girl, she loved summers at Camp Numanu. As an adult, she loved spending time on the coast at her Cannon Beach home. She enjoyed working in the office with her husband and her son at the family haberdashery on SW Broadway, and most always accompanied and supported husband John on his many endeavors during their life together including: camping, mountain climbing, bicycling, running marathons and forestry events.

As a young adult, Bev enjoyed tennis with her lady friends at Strohecker Park, and during her 50-year-plus membership at Multnomah Athletic Club, she participated in walking and water activities.

Her strong Christian faith began as a child attending revivals with her mother.

Over the years, she attended several Presbyterian churches and was a leader in Bible study fellowship for 25 years.

She had an enthusiastic smile for everyone, and her glass was more than half full. She was loved by the family relatives in Sweden. Beverly was predeceased by husband John Jr, and sister Pauline. She is survived by children John III (Jennifer), Carol Director (Scott) of Portland and Eric (Jennifer) of Seattle. Grandchildren Madeleine (Alex), Julian, Lillian, Ashley (Chris), Jordan, Isabelle, Sam (fiancé Emily), William, Elizabeth and Victoria, and great-grandchildren Olivia and Benjamin. Beverly was buried next to her husband at Willamette National Cemetery.

Heartfelt thanks go to the staff at Hearthstone of Beaverton for their loving care of Beverly these last three years. A celebration of life is planned for Sunday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m. at Valley Presbyterian Church 8060 SW Brentwood Street, in Portland. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Valley Presbyterian Church.

Geraldine Sprott Hodge Sept. 1, 1930-Nov. 20, 2019 Geraldine Sprott Hodge passed away on Nov. 20. Gerry was born in Portland, Oregon, to Morrison and Mildred Sprott.

She graduated from Grant High School in 1948 and Lewis and Clark College in 1952.

Gerry taught English at The Dalles High School for two years and was a librarian in the Parkrose school district for three years. She married her husband, Dr. Wallace Hodge, in 1956, and they later moved to Bordeaux, France, for two years while Wally served in the Army Dental Corps.

For many years, Wally and Gerry were season ticket holders to the Portland Opera, the Oregon Symphony and Portland Chamber Music. Gerry also sang in the choir at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church and served in the church altar guild.

She and Wally traveled frequently, including many trips to Europe, and visited all 50 states. She was a longtime member of the Multnomah Athletic Club.

Gerry is survived by her husband; children; sister, Ferol McClure; and grandwchildren, Greer, Anna, Nicholas, Julianne and Ryan.

A memorial service was held in December. Donations in Gerry’s memory may be made to St. Bartholomew’s or All-Classical Radio Portland.

Nancy Frahm Green May 1, 1946-Nov. 29, 2019 Nancy Marie Frahm Green was born in Ontario, Oregon, as the second youngest of six siblings. Growing up on a farm, she drove a truck at age 6, a tractor at age 10, and cooked for 10-20 hired men, daily.

After receiving her undergraduate degree from Oregon State, she moved to Portland, where she worked for 27 years as a teacher with Job Corps and the Portland Public Schools — first at Harriet Tubman Middle School and then at Franklin High School.

Always a great advocate for women’s rights, she supervised and taught Franklin’s teen pregnancy program and classes in home economics and personal finance. Her passion for entertaining, respect for traditions, and strict upbringing led to her becoming an etiquette “specialist.” For more than 20 years, Nancy taught etiquette to the Portland Rose Festival princesses and an “If you were invited to the White House” class at Franklin.

After returning to Portland, she and Wally had four children, Alison Davis, Christopher Hodge, Monica Turkisher and Edward Hodge.

CLUB NEWS

In Memoriam Continued from page 21 Outside of work and community efforts, Nancy was an active woman who loved gardening on her city “farm” and hosting dinner parties. Her parties were legendary for their table decorations and food. With an eclectic taste in art and fashion, she collected dishes, glass, ceramics, paintings and shoes.

We love our clients...

“Betsy and Tamra have helped us with the buying and selling of two homes. They are kind + honest, knowledgeable and eager to help find a perfect real estate match. With our second home, they helped with our inspection, negotiations and finalization of the purchase. In addition, Betsy helped find a suitable prospective owner for the home we were selling. Thanks to them, we had a FLAWLESS transaction and experience. We highly recommend them and couldn’t be more pleased with our multiple experiences on both ends of the housing transaction. AMAZING!”

... And they love us

Nancy is survived by her husband, Dr. Gerald Green; two stepchildren, Adrienne Green and Steven Green; son-in-law, Thelonious Johnson; two grandchildren, Jeremy and Zachary Johnson; as well as one brother, two sisters and many nieces and nephews in Eastern Oregon. After marrying Gerald, her Portland family grew and she became “Auntie Nancy” to many more. She had a love for children and would “adopt” them throughout her life. Elizabeth, Justine, Justin, Winnie and Dino are a few who considered Nancy their adopted mother. All were special to her, and she always tried to spend time with each one.

Her life with Gerald spanned 30 years of marriage. They loved spending time with family and friends, entertaining, exercising and traveling. Together they visited more than 70 countries, always adding to their collection of friends and art. They had recently purchased a vacation home in the Palm Desert area to begin a new phase of life together.

Nancy’s life was cut short by a tragic accident. She will be truly missed by the many who knew and loved her dearly. Her liveliness and bounce filled a room the second she walked in, and she brought joy, life, and love to all around her. To quote Émile Zola, “She was born to live life out loud,” and she most certainly did. A celebration of life in Nancy’s honor will be hosted on Sunday, May 3 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Multnomah Athletic Club. WM

“I have known Betsy professionally for decades, and finally had the chance to engage her services when my wife and I sold our family home and embarked on a downsizing project. We both found her to be genuine, caring, an amazing listener, and also willing to bend where we needed her to in order to come to agreement on the final pricing both on our sale as well as our purchase. No one has more knowledge of the local market than Betsy. She is a natural at this, and is a most valuable advisor. I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a valuable resource.”

“Betsy and Tamra helped us land our ideal family home, competing against other buyers in a crazy market. They communicated our priorities to the sellers in a way that met everyone's needs. We were so lucky to work with Betsy and Tamra and to be able to use their relationships with other Realtors, inspectors, contractors and the lender and title agent to get the job done. We love this house.”

MAC’s close community provides ample opportunities for love to bloom

BY JAKE TEN PAS

Racquetball courts, weight rooms and yoga studios might not be the most romantic of settings, but wherever people pursue their passions, love has a chance to flex its muscles. Following on the enthusiastic response to last year’s Met at MAC story, here are four more yarns of yearning and connection sprinkled throughout the club’s sprawling facilities.

30 | The Wınged M |

FEBRUARY 2020

You don’t have to love yoga to fall in love during yoga class. Ask Melinda and Rick Williams. Both joined MAC in the early 1970s, and knew each other peripherally around the club, but they were married to other people.

About a decade ago, after they both found themselves single, a mutual friend, Katie Neill, decided to play matchmaker.

She asked Rick and Melinda if they were ready to date again, and then for all of them to attend yoga together, a practice which became a regular occurrence.

“MAC’s community being what it is, we knew a lot of people in common,” Melinda says. “In the beginning, it was really easy and felt very safe.”

Their first date was at Milo’s City Café on NE Broadway, and it went well enough that they continued to court for another three years. Melinda and Rick were married at Pioneer Church in Sellwood and held their reception brunch at MAC. They’ve now been hitched seven years, and while Melinda and Katie still religiously go to yoga, Rick no longer joins them. “If I’m being honest, I was going just to be around her,” he says, laughing. They

Melinda and Rick Williams both still socialize at the club, pointing to the scrumptious seafood at 1891 as some of their favorite meals. They even attended their first MAC group trip to a Broadway show, Fiddler on the Roof.

Melinda says that she never thought she’d get married again, but that she’s sure glad she was open to stretching out a bit by taking a yoga class with Katie and Rick.

In November 1993, Meredith and Kaye Manchester met in MAC’s Exercise and Conditioning Room, and say they haven’t looked back. Their first date, which was Kaye’s birthday and the day after Thanksgiving, included a workout and a lovely dinner in the Sports Pub. They’ve been together since.

Fifteen years later, they got married in November 2008.

Meredith’s son, member Kurt Wakefield, did the honors in daughter Renée Berg’s living room. Only family and two best-friend couples — one of them also MAC members — were present at the intimate ceremony.

Kaye has been a member since childhood, while Meredith joined in 1982 after marrying her first husband. Following his passing, she says she looked to MAC for social interactions to fight off loneliness. Kaye came along at the perfect time.

Kaye and Meredith Manchester

The Manchesters were active in the club’s committee system during the ‘90s, lending their efforts to the Yoga, E&C and Alive & Well groups. These days, they enjoy watching their 5-year-old grandson having a blast learning to swim in the West Pool.

A lifelong member by way of her dad’s family account, Judy Eggen claimed her own senior membership upon graduating from the University of Oregon in 1960. At about the same time, Dan Fenker moved to Portland from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and joined MAC. On Dec. 8, 1962, they both happened to attend a singles dance party at the club. It didn’t take Dan long to eye the “tall, pretty blond,” and he decided to ask her to dance. Before departing for the evening, he had also secured her phone number.

Not wasting any time, Dan called Judy the next day, and they soon began dating exclusively. Two years later, on Nov. 28, 1964, they were married at Saint Thomas More Church. It was the first Englishspeaking Mass on the West Coast, held during the church’s transformation from the tradition of holding the mass in Latin.

Judy and Dan Fenker

Judy says that, while she was pleased to become Mrs. Fenker, she did not like having to give up her original MAC member number.

In 2010, both Dan and Judy received their MAC 50-Year pins at the same time. They were the only couple recognized for that achievement at that year’s ceremony. More recently, they celebrated another milestone, their 55th wedding anniversary.

Tom Inglesby and Beverly Fisher met at MAC when both were playing in the 1977 Rose Festival Racquetball tournament, which was held at the club. She had played intramural racquetball at University of Oregon, and he switched from handball following two sports-related shoulder surgeries. Tom’s father, Bill, was a nationallyranked handball player at MAC. In those days, there was a big group of young singles playing racquetball; contributing to the committee; organizing the Rose Festival Tournament, the largest on the west coast; and hanging out together.

Some even went whitewater rafting and played on Dave McMorine’s — Tom’s tournament doubles partner — coed softball team, the Cavities.

Romance soon followed for Tom and Beverly. In November 1980, they were wed at First Presbyterian Church, with the reception at MAC. The club was the only choice considered for a celebratory venue, since both families were so involved in MAC activities. Beverly’s father joined in 1944, when he moved to Portland after graduating from college, and her parents were active in tennis, badminton and swimming at the club.

Originally scheduled for the Ainsworth/

Beverly, Tom, Kaitlin and Shannon Inglesby Lownsdale rooms, the couple was fortunate when the wedding invitation list outgrew the space and the Ballroom became available for their beautiful reception!

The Inglesbys’ two daughters participated in many MAC sports, from gymnastics to swimming and, of course, racquetball and squash. Both Shannon and Kaitlin were age-group national and world racquetball champions growing up, bringing the family full circle at MAC. FEBRUARY 2020

his year’s 37th annual MAC Open showcases the talents of the club’s approximately 80 team gymnasts. These athletes include the beginning level 3s and 4s and Xcel team members, all the way up to the top — level 10 girls and boys.

Hundreds of gymnasts from across the country, and as far away as Japan, attend the three-day meet, which turns the Main and West gyms into gymnastic arenas.

Violet Gullung, who looks forward to competing in her first team finals, an exciting team-building event in which top-level optional gymnasts (level 8-10 girls and boys) compete together for team honors.

Hundreds of volunteer hours from club gymnasts and their families, and the dedication of MAC Gymnastics’ outstanding staff and coaches, make this all-hands-ondeck event a success year after year.

This MAC Open will be extra special for level 10 gymnasts Kaylee Sugimoto and Austin Kirk, who are both high school seniors. Kaylee recently signed a letter of intent to attend Illinois State University as a walk-on to the gymnastics team. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to work with Kaylee,” says Head Girls Coach Rob Petit, who extols her work ethic and determination.

MAC Open is also a key fundraiser for MAC gymnasts, with proceeds going toward competition entrance fees and other expenses. Moreover, the epic meet is a season highlight for team gymnasts, who love showing their stuff on their home turf.

Kirk also will be deeply missed. “Austin comes in every day and diligently works his tail off. I have never met anyone as motivated yet as conscientious,” says teammate Adam Rose. Kirk doesn’t plan to continue gymnastics into college, but says his team

“MAC Open is amazing and it’s especially fun that all the teams get to be together,” says optional team gymnast

experiences will stay with him, from the focus on sportsmanship to his trip with the team to Japan. “Gymnastics has played a big role in shaping who I am,” he says.

Like many of his teammates, Kirk says his favorite part of the MAC Open is the team finals. “The energy and excitement of the team competition is like no other meet.”

Adelsheim All-Star Event 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16

T

wo years ago the Portland Trail Blazers approached Adelsheim Winery with a bold idea: Create two commemorative wines to celebrate their 50th season. The Blazers team was hands-on throughout the process, from tasting barrels with Adelsheim’s winemaker, Gina Hennen, to selecting the label design and packaging. It was a collaborative effort that blended wine and athletics in a way that truly represents the integrated spirit of Oregon.

The results are a 2017 pinot noir and chardonnay, both produced exclusively from sustainably farmed grapes grown in the Chehalem Mountains. Asked to describe the vintages in a few words, the winery selected “loam, velvet, and raspberry” for the pinot and “white peach, flowers, and tension” for the chardonnay.

This month, MAC members can sample both wines at an exclusive event that includes catching the NBA All-Star Game on the big screen, playing pop-a-shot, and enjoying delicious game-style snacks. Bottles will also be available for purchase.

“These beautiful bottles not only represent 50 incredible years of NBA history but also nearly 50 years of Oregon wine history and winemaking,” notes Adelsheim Director of Marketing Lindsey Morse. “Our two organizations grew up together and we are incredibly honored to be able to bring you a little bit of city and little bit of country in two of the best looking labels you’ll find anywhere. And remember 10 percent of any wine purchased is donated to the Blazers Foundation.”

EATING WELL

I

usually buy whole chickens and either cut them up myself or have a butcher do it for me. It’s cheaper that way, and I know exactly what I’m getting. This recipe is a quick, easy dinner on a work night. It’s terrific with brown Jasmine rice (add a little of the sauce after the chicken has baked) and some steamed broccoli. A side salad is a nice addition, too.

—Tysen Christensen, registered dietitian

Soy-Ginger Baked Chicken Ingredients 1 ¾ pounds chicken, cut into nine parts and remove skin ¼ cup soy sauce 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 2 cloves minced garlic 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon oregano

44 | The Wınged M |

FEBRUARY 2020

Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. 2. Trim the chicken pieces (two breasts, two thighs, two legs, two wings and one back) and remove pieces of excess fat. Arrange pieces in a 9x13” glass baking dish, allowing room in between the pieces.

3. Place all the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, broth, garlic, ginger, oregano) in a bowl and whisk together.

4. Pour the sauce over the prepared chicken in the baking dish.

5. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 425°F. (This high heat will help brown the chicken.) Flip and baste the chicken with the sauce.

6. Bake for an additional 10-30 minutes until the juices run clear (not pink) when poked with a sharp knife, or the internal temperature of the chicken breasts is 165°F, and the thighs are 170°F when tested with a meat thermometer.

7. Once chicken has reached the correct internal temperature, remove from the oven. Let sit 10 minutes, then plate.

Nutritional information: The sauce is 10 calories per 1/3 cup.

The nutritional information will vary among each piece of chicken depending on the size and cut of meat.

Tight-knit team takes Ecuador by storm, claiming five medals

By Jake Ten Pas

I

n a sport that’s all about gaining elevation, where every participant is focused on rising above the competition, athletes have to work just a little bit harder to make it to the top.

In the case of MAC Climbing’s December foray to the Pan American Youth Championships in Ecuador, working harder also meant traveling farther, and ultimately going higher than some of them had ever been before. Flying into the country’s second largest city, Quito, they traveled another two hours to Ibarra, which is situated at about 7,300 feet above sea level in the Andes.

Then the real ascension began.

In its history, MAC Climbing has only ever claimed one medal at an international event. The four club members invited to compete in Ecuador returned with five medals, with the oldest member of the group, 19-year-old college freshman Lauren Smith, earning three herself. She finished third in the combined competition, with three bronzes.

Joining her at the Pan Ams were Ava Kovtunovich, who finished seventh overall; Nathanial Surma, who took second place in bouldering, earning a silver medal; and Emma Wetsel, who claimed second place and a silver in speed.

In their time climbing together at MAC, they’ve formed fast bonds under Head Coach Drew White’s ambitious-yet-amicable leadership. When they set out for Ecuador, it was as friends as well as teammates, say all involved. This is the story, told from each of their perspectives, of how MAC represented the United States on the world stage, pushing themselves to new peaks along the way.

As White says, “This is huge for our program, a great testament to all of the hard work that our climbers and coaches put in.” In honor of the team’s trip abroad, White bought them customized Winged M chalk bags to complement their Team USA jerseys. “It’s important to recognize what they’ve accomplished. They’re leaders, and that’s why they’re in this position.”

Some young climbers have to explain their chosen sport to their parents, but not Ava Kovtunovich. Her parents, Tonia and Ian, met climbing roughly 20 years ago, and say they feel incredibly lucky that Ava shares their passion. “The nice thing about climbing is, no

matter how accomplished you are, you’re always trying something that’s pushing you to your limit,” Ian says.

“It’s really helpful at competitions because they know what’s going on,” Ava says. “I started climbing when I was 2 or 3, and it’s just all about that and school for me. When I’m up on the wall, I don’t really notice people cheering for me, but [my parents] work with me on preparation, and that helps me be focused in the moment of competition.”

This trip to the Pan Ams was Kovtunovich’s first international competition, and she says it was really fun to go up against people from a variety of countries. Like many MAC members, she’s traveled abroad before, but this was her inaugural trip to South America.

“It was amazing! The weather was really nice, and so were the people. The food was surprisingly good, especially the one time we had to eat at a mall food court,” she says.

The sense of welcome she felt helped to temper the challenges brought on by Ibarra’s intimidating elevation, which were compounded by the relatively short time frame she had to acclimate.

“I didn’t find out I was going until three weeks before the competition, which meant I didn’t have much time to get my endurance back up and just train! I ended up with a few days to adjust to the altitude, which was nice.”

“During the competition, I was really nervous, but I also knew that it was one of the highest levels of competition. Even if I did poorly, it was still a really good opportunity,” Kovtunovich says.

After what she considered a frustrating first day, she still managed to make it into the finals. “I kept telling myself, ‘This is a new day, and I will start over and hopefully have a better day tomorrow.”

Thanks to her own fortitude — and an inspiring pep talk from the USA Climbing team head coach — she did.

Looking forward, she’s setting her sights on making the podium at nationals and competing at Youth Worlds this summer. Looking back, she’s proud of her performance and those of her teammates.

“It feels great when you’re doing something well, especially when you’ve worked on it for a while.”

ATHLETICS

Ava, Lauren, Nathaniel and Emma story, and Type III can’t even claim that.

It’s basically just a miserable experience that builds character.

Continued from page 51

When it comes to fun, Lauren Smith is all about Type II. That’s the type of “fun” that isn’t actually enjoyable in the moment, but which you can look back upon fondly when it’s over. For instance, when you wake up sick in a foreign country, can barely stand long enough to brush your teeth, but know you have to climb competitively later that morning.

“That last day of Combined Finals came close to Type III, but I feel like it wasn’t quite heinous enough,” she says.

“I basically downed three bottles of electrolytes, a ton of ibuprofen, and half a cup of coffee and went out and competed,” she says. “I felt a little bit like dying after every time I got on the wall, but at the end of the day, I was so glad I didn’t just stay in bed.”

The problem-solving component of climbing also compels Smith, as does the companionship of her teammates, especially after being away at University of Washington. Because qualifications for the Pan Ams are determined by the previous year’s results, she was given one last opportunity to return and compete with the crew she considers family.

So is MAC Climbing, which saw their number of medals in international competition double thanks to Smith’s perseverance.

For those who don’t know, it’s been postulated that there are three basic types of fun. Type I is what most people think of as fun, going to a party, watching a movie, or laying on a beach. Type II is the unenjoyable kind of “fun” that makes for a great

This says so much about the psychology of a climber. “I love the burn you get in your muscles when you’re super tired on the wall. When I’m shaking and I’m not sure I’m going to be able to get a clip, that’s my favorite part of it!”

“The first day, when the whole team was together, we took a bus and went to the equator. We went to a market and out to this hacienda for lunch. Spending time with all of those people for the first time in a few months was super fun,” she says.

Type I, that is.

Having spent a little more than a year on MAC’s Climbing Team, Nathaniel Surma is in a good position to articulate its value.

He’s still quite close to the alternative.

“I was on a team before, and things weren’t working out. I needed more help, and I talked to Drew, and he convinced me he could give that to me,” he says. “He does a lot with the mental side of climbing.

That’s very helpful. He definitely knows how to talk you down!”

That’s off the ledge, not the wall. “That’s Drew’s role. He’s really good at getting Nathaniel in the right head space before he goes into isolation and we can’t talk to him all day,” says Michael Surma, Nathaniel’s dad. A key part of climbing competitions is keeping the routes secret, so that every competitor has an equal chance at success.

In Ibarra, parents and other spectators were separated from the climbers by an 8-foot-tall chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. Political unrest in Ecuador meant rescheduling the championships — originally slated for October — to December, and both Surmas say that Continued on page 54

Continued from page 52 security was extremely tight. “It’s an interesting region, because on top of all of that, everything is surrounded by volcanoes,” Michael adds.

Surma competed in Youth World Championships last summer in Europe, and he took such challenges in stride. An aspiring fashion designer, he enjoyed the colorful scenes of Ibarra, and even found some inspiration.

“I remember this one lady wearing baggy green camo pants with some yellow Nike Air Max 97s,” he says. “I really liked her outfit, so I copied it for myself when I got home.”

Surma says he didn’t enjoy the food and local culture as much as the rest of the team, but found the experience of being there together entirely rewarding.

“Having a bunch of people from the MAC team there and sharing that moment of being in Ecuador at an international competition was really cool,” he says.

“Even though I’ve only been on the team for just over a year, I’ve known a lot of these kids from competing alongside them.

I have a special bond with them.”

FEBRUARY 2020

Having previously competed at both Youth Worlds and the Pan Ams, not to mention looking ahead to her own graduation and departure for college, Emma Wetsel brought a distinctly relaxed perspective to Ecuador.

“I was more looking to have fun,” she says. “Pan Ams happen after Worlds, and so there is no competition to move onto afterward. It was less about qualifying to get to the next level, and more just about performing the best I could.”

Like Smith, she’s traveled extensively around Central and South America, and had fond memories of her time there. A vegetarian now, she found it challenging to meet her nutritional needs in such a meatcentric locale. When some of her teammates tried the local delicacy of Guinea pigs, she, of course, abstained.

What surprised her about the trip, though, were the feelings generated by competing on behalf of the United States. “There is something about wearing an American jersey or any type of U.S. gear that really, really makes you think about all of your actions, because

it’s so obvious that you are representing this country,” Wetsel says. “Especially in places where there might not be the most positive views of America. There are so many assumptions and generalizations about who we are. It makes you think a lot about how you carry yourself, how you treat the competition and people around you.”

“It’s definitely a pressure I don’t typically feel when I’m traveling on my own. It’s a realization. I’m representing not only my country, but also MAC, and I want to act accordingly.”

Fortunately, Wetsel feels confident in all of her teammates, both when it comes to the efforts they put forth in competition and the way they represent the place they call home.

“There was something very nice about traveling with people who I knew were going to support me, and who I felt comfortable around. It made everything more fun,” she says. “I think it was my favorite international competition because I had them there with me. Drew, too. Even though you’re on your own during the events, it takes away a lot of the stress knowing that there’s someone there who can help you before or afterward.” WM

Twenty Years of Pilates I have been teaching Pilates for 22 years, and I never expected to have a client stick with me for almost that long!

In February 2000, Kay Stepp walked into the small space that was MAC’s first Pilates studio and told me that her birthday was coming up and she wanted to start the new year with a new fitness routine.

She took fitness seriously, but had never taken a Pilates class.

We started with the basics, and as I do with many new clients, I wondered how long she would keep coming back. What I soon learned was that Kay is someone who never gives up and who meets every challenge with the attitude that if she just can try something one more time she’ll do it!

West Portland Physical Therapy Clinic llc

Working with a client for so many years is a journey. We have developed a close friendship and have lived through each other’s highs and lows. Kay has had some serious health issues, including an almost fatal ruptured appendix, but she credits her ability to bounce back with the strength and fluidity that Pilates has given her. My mission has been to keep challenging her as she has progressed from the beginning repertoire to advanced. My joy is seeing her try new things, such as acrobatics with her granddaughter, and love every minute of it!

Jean Leavenworth and Kay Stepp

Little did I know two decades ago that I would still be seeing Kay every week and still be finding new ways to inspire her! Little did she know how big an impact she would have on my life!

Racquetball Tournaments Draw Players of All Ages

` Athletics news/information

Each December MAC hosts the John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions, which draws competitors from racquetball professionals to high school players and beginners. Twenty-two MAC members played in the 2019 tournament — four earned gold, five won silver medals, and another four athletes placed first in their consolation brackets.

“Tournaments have been a great way to push myself to improve, develop more mental toughness on the court,” says Jennifer Briglia. “And it is a true pleasure cheering on my fellow MAC members and other players from around the country.” As a former high school athlete, Briglia was used to setting goals for herself and preparing for competition. After her daughter started competing for Lincoln High School racquetball, she realized it wasn’t too late to start a new sport and quickly found out how much fun it was to compete in tournaments.

The easiest way to learn about upcoming tournaments is to join USA Racquetball ($65/year or $60/auto renewal). Members have the ability to view their skill ranking by age, state and nation and receive alerts about competitions both near and far.

Tournaments generally start on weeknights, but tournament directors do their best to accommodate conflicts as long as they are reasonable and provided at the time of registration. Entry fees generally include some meals and beverages. Those who like to play a lot of racquetball and can commit to a full weekend are encouraged to sign up for multiple events!

Group Ex Builds Community, Confidence for Seniors As Bodies Change, Club Classes Meet Wide Range of Fitness Needs

By Jake Ten Pas

“T

he number one thing I hear is that aging is not for sissies,” says MAC yoga instructor and senior fitness enthusiast Jennifer Holzapfel-Hanson. “Everybody’s challenged by it. Whether you’re fit or injured, age 30 or 80, growing older is part of the frustration that brings people into my classes. They want to make it better!”

At 9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, Holzapfel-Hanson and registered dietitian and personal trainer Tysen Christensen can be found improving lives from the ground up in the Gymnastics Arena. Their Balance & Posture class has become a go-to for MAC’s 65-and-older members, who form a distinctive community both within the club and Portland as a whole.

“A lot of the seniors have known each other since they were in their 20s and younger, and the support of this community helps people get through those times that are the transition tunnels of aging,” Holzapfel-Hanson says. “They accept being 70, but they recognize that they don’t want to get injured or fall, and they want to continue to be active on their own and together.”

There are plenty of club offerings that either cater to this community or at least create an environment in which they feel welcome and able. Anyone who’s ever

attended Aquatic Fitness Manager Lisa Best’s Water Walking class can attest to feeling safe among friends in the water.

“We don’t allow as much talking all through class in Balance & Posture!”

Holzapfel-Hanson says, laughing. “We’re really watching to make sure they’re not going to fall. We’re on the land, not in the water, so there are more risks, and we want to make sure everyone stays focused.”

For a complete list of group exercise and water fitness classes for all ages and ability levels, see themac.com/group/ pages/athletics-wellness.

“This is a class where we help build strength for people to balance, as well as their confidence to help prevent falls. We do a lot of different skills and drills using equipment such as foam blocks, balls, rings and balance beams that are low to the ground,” she adds.

Holzapfel-Hanson points out that balance isn’t a skill that people can set and forget. It changes based on what someone

ATHLETICS

eats in the morning, how much they’ve slept, and in relation to any recent injuries or health challenges they might be experiencing. For instance, foods that cause inflammation can induce swelling in the inner ear, leading to balance challenges.

She and co-teacher Christensen alternate who is leading the class weekly to diversify the structure and emphasize their areas of expertise. No matter who’s in charge that day, customization is key.

“We can go one-on-one with somebody if they need a little extra assistance, or can give individual exercises depending on one’s level,” Holzapfel-Hanson says.

While other group exercise sessions aimed at seniors might not allow for quite the same tailored approach, all are designed to leave participants feeling positive about their experiences and ready to face the ups and downs of everyday life.

“A lot of the themes that run through the senior classes have to do with mindfulness,” Holzapfel-Hanson points out. She recommends meditation classes as a way to deepen mental and physical awareness.

Plus, they give participants the chance to sit down and breathe through some of the emotional issues they might be facing.

Similarly, she suggests Val Stegall’s and Kimmie Brunke’s Stretch for Life classes, and the yoga, balance and adaptive aquatics offerings, which she and Richard Olsen teach in the Sundeck Pool throughout the week.

“I was very connected with my grandmother, who passed away while I was in India doing a yoga teacher training program in 2008,” Holzapfel-Hanson explains.

“When I started teaching at MAC, a lot of people here reminded me of her because she had a lot of energy. She worked as a private nurse until she was 75 years old. Many of these seniors have the same spark. They’re active and engaged in their communities.”

Balance & Posture is one of the longestrunning classes geared toward seniors in the club, she says, and because Baby Boomers continue to confront the realities of the “golden years,” it’s not going anywhere. “We have a chair right next to some people while they’re in class. Others are off and running, and they want to be challenged. They’re there more for the fun, which is a big part of class. We play a lot of games, laugh and tell jokes. Those kinds of things help lighten the difficulty of aging.”

Pickleball Continues to Add New Players Three years ago, a couple dozen MAC members formed a pickleball advisory group. The club provided several paddles, balls and convertible nets to play in the gym, and so began the organized start of MAC Pickleball. Since then, the program has grown to more than 400 interested and participating players.

During Open Play times, lines of pickleball paddles now wait at the court sidelines, and players rotate in when spots becomes available. Not only is the sport easy to pick up, good exercise and fun, it has connected many members whose paths otherwise would not have crossed.

While pickleball is definitely popular with the 55-and-older crowd, anyone can play. In fact, pickleball is being offered at Family Friday events, and kids and grandkids are out playing and having fun.

Additionally, many now-avid players have signed up for clinics and tournaments.

At the 2019 Pacific Northwest Regional Pickleball Championships in September, members Tim Leatherman, Gay Hart and Dana Hunt earned gold and silver medals.

Hunt first started pickleball three years ago in Palm Desert, as a recreational player. “Then the opportunity to play for

fun transitioned into competitive tournaments and club exchanges,” she explains.

Adds Leatherman, “Playing in several local and national pickleball tournaments has improved my skill level along with meeting new players from all over the country.”

Based on the continued interest and attendance, MAC’s pickleball community continues to grow and thrive as a vibrant form of exercise.

Jump Into Playing Competitive Tennis at MAC Updated registration policy is more inclusive

Any player who registers on time will get a spot on a team and an opportunity to play in at least a couple of matches during the season. Here’s how it works: • First, players register for their desired season. USTA 40+ MAC registration deadline is March 4 and USTA deadline for team numbers is March 11.

Registering for a USTA team is the same process as for a tennis class or clinic. The starting code for each tennis league is “TLG.” • Players can indicate if they have a preferred partner, and those who want to captain or co-captain a team note that on their online registration forms. Captains are selected by the Tennis Office.

• Team captains contact team members, and the fun begins!

In an all-out effort to make more courts available to more members, especially on weekends, MAC will schedule some USTA “home” matches at Lewis & Clark College.

This “pilot project” was approved by the Board of Trustees to see if this could be a viable, longer term solution. Time and member feedback will tell! Team captains have information about USTA matches scheduled at Lewis & Clark.

The hope is that this change helps ease the pressure of court availability, providing more courts to members for reservations at high-demand times on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and making court times available for lessons on the weekends.

To that end, members are reminded to please follow MAC Tennis policy and cancel court reservations by 8 p.m. the night before if they have a change of plans. Even if it is after 8 p.m., please still cancel the court as soon as possible to allow another member the opportunity to reserve it.

Annual Court Swap for Men’s Open In order to be fair in regards to court availability, the two main groups at Saturday morning and Monday evening Men’s Open Play have swapped sides the last couple of years. As of January, 3.5 and below players are on Courts 1-3, with Court 1 going to 3.0 and below, as well as senior players, during the first hour. The 4.0-4.5 players get Courts 5-7. The 4.5+ players remain on Court 4.

JONATHAN HOUSE

The complete policy is posted on the MAC website under the category “Tennis Leagues.” The friendly folks in the Tennis Office are also happy to answer questions in person.

JONATHAN HOUSE

In an effort to encourage all MAC members who want to step up their game to play on a competitive USTA team, the Tennis Committee, with input from several member forums, rolled out an updated policy in December. It is intended to be more inclusive, and make team placement fair and transparent.

Junior Team Tennis Dominates in Fall Season The JTT Orange Ball team, captained

by Kayla Casebeer, took its division by winning 211 games and losing 125. For sake of comparison, the second-place team went 190-150.

The Green Ball teams, captained by Ted Miller and Nicole Mather, were just as dominant in their seasons, finishing first and second respectively. Needless to say, MAC teams will have a target on their backs this season, which began in January.

The MAC 14U Yellow Ball team, headed by Geraldine Carter, was made up of 12U and 14U players. As the youngest team in the division, they battled hard and finished in a tie for fourth place, which bodes well for the future of this group as they mature and develop as tennis players.

Those interested in watching these rising stars play can head to Courts 1-4 from 3:45 to 6:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon, or check out the court schedule for a chance to see them compete against other local area teams.

ATHLETICS

Coaches Corner: Forehand Shots Historically, tennis forehand and backhand shots are taken down the line or cross court.

But the past 20 years have seen the development of the insideout and inside-in forehand to go along with other traditional shots. These two newer shots have developed as racquets have gotten lighter, allowing players to create more spins and angles on the court.

To hit an inside-out forehand, a player moves to hit a forehand stroke on the backhand side of the court. Once in position, a player can spread the court in two ways.

The first is to hit the ball crosscourt, with the goal of spreading the ball outside the singles sideline for an opponent to play.

The second way the court opens up is when the insideout forehand is taken down the line, in which case it is called an inside-in forehand. In this case, a player hits the ball cross-court on a half court, forcing the ball to move outside the lines of the singles court. The margin of error is small, but it can force an opponent into a compromised position if done correctly.

Executing inside-out and inside-in forehands requires fast footwork and strategic knowledge. But with hard work and good court habits, it is possible to develop more opportunities to hit these shots and force opponents to scramble around covering a wider court area.

It’s your journey.

We’re here to help you get there.

Tri-Run Celebrates Colorful Traditions Holiday lights to Shamrock tights Bright and busy holiday garb was in full effect as the annual coterie of MAC runners and joggers headed east to festive Peacock Lane to take in the bright, beautiful displays. Crowded sidewalks full of holiday revelers didn’t dampen the spirit, but added to the seasonal cheer, as did the mild temperatures and dry weather. It was a lovely way to add fitness to the holiday season.

Racing Green Join fellow members for an annual Portland tradition — the Shamrock Run — and scamper through downtown with thousands of friends!

All ages are welcome to run, jog or walk, with multiple distance options available.

Swim-Run Around the World For the past several Septembers, MAC member Daemon Anastas has traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, and the Otillo Swimrun World Championships. The endurance event pairs 50 miles of running and scrambling over 26 islands with swimming 6 miles in the icy Baltic Sea! A college swimmer and rower, Anastas spent 11 and a half hours completing this feat in 2019, all the while maintaining a distance of no more than 10 meters between himself and his partner. Yes, it’s a team event. Added challenges include running in a mandatory wetsuit, swimming in modified swim/run shoes, carrying any and all specialty nutrition, and each team

FEBRUARY 2020

finishing with all the gear (floatation buoy and swim paddles) it started with.

Additionally, Anastas competed while recovering from a hamstring injury, and credits daily training in three disciplines: swim, bike and run. He also credits MAC swim coach Brad Bachulis and spin instructor Maria Pearman for keeping him fit to withstand the stress of this unique event.

He’s now preparing for a swim-run event much closer to home, and in a much more temperate climate — Catalina Island, off the coast of southern California — with fellow MAC member Meredith Weisshaar.

He’s looking forward to the spectacular vistas, competition, camaraderie and epic post-race stories.

For those feeling inspired, a September swim-run event off Orcas Island is open for registration, odysseyswimrun.com/orcas.
