here are always a lot of events going on at this time of year, from outdoor activities, summer sports, and family vacation travel to community and social options. June’s Rose Festival is a highlight of the season, and this Grant Yoshihara year MAC had the PRESIDENT opportunity to recognize and host visiting military personnel who were here for Fleet Week.

MAC is also very busy with summer camps for kids. These programs present a great opportunity for our younger members to participate in a wide variety of activities, learn new skills and socialize with their peers.

If you aren’t familiar with all that MAC offers, I encourage you to drop by and see what a positive experience the club’s camps are for our younger members. Also, remember that camps bring additional foot traffic, so please be extra careful while driving near the club, especially inside the parking garage.

As was previously communicated to all members, we are reducing the number of Winged M issues this summer by one. This change allows both our communications and technology staff to focus their time and resources on the important delivery of the redesigned website, scheduled to go live in mid-August. The Fall Class Guide will arrive in mailboxes in early August, so you can get signed up for your favorite classes.

Looking forward to fall, I want to address the changing hours of operation at our flagship restaurant and lounge, 1891 and MACtinis. Starting in early September, both will be closed on Mondays, in addition to their normal Sunday closure (see more details on page 10). The decision to reduce general restaurant hours was studied very carefully by management and reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. The combination of a lower volume of business on Mondays, the challenges of staffing three food service options while retaining high-quality service and kitchen staff, and keeping a high standard for food quality all weighed into this tough, but appropriate, decision.

Safety, Security Over the past few months, we have experienced several incidents on our property and in the surrounding neighborhood. These include an employee being assaulted on our property, an employee getting hit in a cross walk on Salmon Street, and incidents of theft both in the parking garage and in our locker rooms.

Norm Rich’s column in this issue focuses on communicating with members about these concerns. MAC leadership has increased security staffing and patrols, and is evaluating security investments that will improve surveillance capability as well as control access to our properties. MAC also has reached out and is working collaboratively with neighborhood associations to voice our concerns to City of Portland officials. Unfortunately, increasing public safety concerns in central downtown Portland have expanded into our neighborhood.

A key focus for this year is to finalize a multi-year technology master plan Technology Investment We have a strong desire to improve both our physical and cyber security systems. In late May, I had the opportunity to provide an update to many of our past Board of Trustees presidents at a semi-annual luncheon. We talked about the Strategic Plan initiatives that are underway, and had a very robust discussion about technology investment.

Frankly, we are way behind in terms of investment in information technology.

Although we have recently improved our technology staffing capacity, we have a ways to go in the realms of hardware and software.

A key focus for this year is to finalize a multi-year technology master plan to get us on track with operating and upgrading our information systems so that we can better meet member needs.

In addition to launching a new website this summer, we also will upgrade our core software system this fall. Addressing cyber security challenges and concerns requires a long-term commitment and continued vigilance to ensure MAC maintains a safe and secure environment for its members and employees.

AC members and staff give to their communities in many ways that benefit the city and surrounding areas. The AllCommittee Dinner, hosted by first-year B o a r d Tr u s t e e s , includes the timehonored tradition of Norm Rich raising money for the GENERAL MANAGER Oregon Food bank to help those hungry or unable to fully provide food for their families. Board members challenge committees to raise the most money, and this year more than $10,000 was collected. I was encouraged by everyone’s giving spirit and enjoyed the competition between committees. I want to call out the Budget and Finance Committee for raising the most funds. That same week, my wife Valerie and I donated time to the Oregon Food Bank, packing frozen purple carrots for several hundred families. Labor is the most expensive resource of the Food Bank, so donating hours is a wonderful and cost effective way of giving. It doesn’t just feel good, it feels great!

Bud Lewis and Greg Marshall worked the crowd to get signups for this year’s Bud Lewis Blood Drive, benefiting the American Red Cross. Members donated approximately 120 pints of blood to help save lives!

Our Walking and Hiking Committee sponsored a neighborhood trash pick up around the Lincoln High School campus, Goose Hollow streets, MAX lines and close-in Washington Park. Thank you to the committee and volunteers who helped make Goose Hollow a cleaner place.

And back in February, Chefs Philippe Boulot and Deanna Bascom prepared a brunch for the Blanchet House that raised a significant, six-figure number to help accomplish their mission “to feed, clothe and offer shelter to those in need.” When approached each year by members representing the Blanchet House, I challenge them to reach record contributions, which they have accomplished every year!

Our community of members and staff totals more than 22,000, making us one of the 25 largest communities in Oregon, if we were our own city. I am proud to represent the community we know as MAC. I have asked Community Relations Manager Mary Fetsch to organize more volunteer opportunities for members every quarter. The more the better!

Safety First Unfortunately, there have been some incidents (theft and assaults) near the club over the last 18 months, and I want to remind members to practice safety when at the club and in the surrounding areas. A recent managers meeting included a safety demonstration

by MAC karate instructors, and all staff will have an opportunity for training this summer.

We have increased our security in the member and employee garages. If you see additional opportunities for safety improvements, please email safety@themac.com. We would appreciate your feedback! An audit of cyber and physical security will be conducted over the next few months to see how we can do better.

Parking As discussed previously, over the past few months we have been trying to stop nonmember cars from entering our garage on busy days and directing then to the Portland Towers or the 18th and Salmon lot (Butler Block). In May 2019, MAC will lose the ability to lease the Butler Block and will not recoup that loss until November 2020, when we permanently regain the parking facilities now leased to the Timbers on 20th Avenue.

We are continuing to try and reduce parking demand and studying the feasibility of adding parking supply.

Restaurants Lastly, beginning Sept. 11, 1891 will be closed on Mondays. The closure was originally planned with the 2018 budget, but the leadership team recommended delaying it until the fall of 2018 to properly notify members. Not enough members were using 1891 on Mondays and the change also allows Food and B`everage to have one team of employees working all week rather than staggering their shifts.

FACES IN THE CLUB On June 2, Oregon Episcopal School’s boys lacrosse team defeated Lakeridge High School 7-5 to win its second Oregon High School Lacrosse Association State Championship in two years. This year’s team includes 14 MAC members and is coached by Dennis Sullivan — a member coach who also runs a MAC summer lacrosse camp.

OES was one of the state’s original four “founding” high school lacrosse programs, along with West Linn, Glencoe and Lakeridge. Nearly 25 years later, there are now 50 programs.

MAC Decathlon Committee Chair Bill Cordano recently showed other aspiring decathletes how it’s done. He won the 75-79 year age group in the 2018 Spring Decathlon, marking the 15th time he’s done so. That’s second only to club legend Bud Lewis’ 17 wins! Consider that Cordano has completed all 45 MAC decathlons, and you’ll realize that means he’s triumphed a third of the times he’s competed. “It’s possible that, in the history of MAC athletics, no one else has done an event for 45 consecutive years,” he says. In addition, he set three age-group records, including a 270-pound bench press and 88 pushups. His scores this year, which improved upon last year’s in every event, garnered him the Most Improved award, as well.

In case you’re unsure how to pronounce Kian GhorbaniElizeh’s first name, just think “neon” but starting with a “k.”

As a handy mnemonic device, his smile is as bright as a neon sign when he welcomes members to the At Your Service desk.

Ghorbani-Elizeh is AYS’ new supervisor, which gives him plenty of opportunities to put into practice the people skills about which he’s so passionate.

“I really enjoy chatting with my co-workers and our regular members who come to the desk,” he says. A huge NBA fan, he also loves to play basketball in the park, and is excited for warm summer weather. That proclivity for sun may stem from being born in Las Vegas and living in Atlanta before moving to Oregon, but Ghorbani-Elizeh swears that, “Portland feels more like my hometown than anywhere else.”

Club members with kids will undoubtedly be familiar with the face of new Youth Programs Manager Jenny Robinett. She’s been at MAC five years, starting in the role of Huckleberry lead teacher and most recently as early childhood supervisor. Robinett has a degree in recreation administration and is known for team building, planning and a love of lifelong learning. She’s enrolled in early childhood classes at Clark College and took up kickboxing a year ago. Robinett also delights in all things Disney, saying, “If I could go to Disneyland every year, I would!” Clearly a kid at heart, she’s also a committed mother, from being a board member for her daughter’s dance team to spending hours watching her son play football.

Manager on Duty Teddy Martin is a similarly devoted Disney fan, and has been to Disneyland 19 times. He loudly sings the praises of Disney Cruises, and particularly the food, which he describes as “unbelievable!”

Martin also sings in the literal sense as part of the Portland cover band Bridgetown Get Down. Top-40 hits are the group’s specialty, running from Gwen Stefani to Michael Jackson.

In fact, Martin’s love of singing may stem from getting to see Jackson live from the fifth row during the singer’s BAD tour in high school. When not helping MAC members, singing, or planning his next trip to the Magic Kingdom, he likes to revisit some of his favorite cinematic universes, namely Star Wars and Harry Potter, as well as grow his collection of Nikes and Adidas shoes. Thus far, Martin has accrued 49 pairs, and keeps them all in their original boxes.

Dining Evolutions New hours, new experiences coming to 1891 and MACtinis

D

uring the summer, MAC’s indoor restaurants take a bit of a breather. This September, when they return to non-summer hours, both 1891 and MACtinis will launch new dining hours.

Beginning Tuesday, September 11, the doors at 1891 will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. MACtinis will welcome guests from 4 to 9 p.m. TuesdaySaturday. Both venues will be closed Sundays and Mondays.

There are multiple reasons for this schedule change. First, it’s about food quality. French Master Chef Philippe Boulot and his team have been partnering with local farmers, fishermen and ranchers for years. When it comes to sourcing the freshest products and highest-quality seasonal ingredients, Tuesday through Saturday are the optimum operating days.

10 | The Wınged M |

Chefs will tell you that the food they prepare can only be as good as the ingredients they begin with. One day can make a big difference.

Also, the change in 1891 hours will allow staff, many of whom are full-time employees, to have two consecutive days off. In addition to being fiscally responsible, giving staff two days off in a row is shown to improve happiness and performance. In the tightening labor market with increasing wage pressures, improving the schedule for employees can go a long way toward enhancing morale and productivity.

Mondays at 1891 Numerous special experiences are planned for Mondays at 1891, including wine dinners, committee socials, special occasion celebrations, and private events sponsored by members. Additionally,

Pinot Noir Fete Features MAC Sous Chef

O

n Friday, July 27, Linfield College uncorks the 32nd-annual International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC), and MAC’s Executive Sous Chef makes his presence felt for the eighth year in a row. While the exact dishes served at its opening-night Grand Dinner will remain a mystery until that evening, Philip Oswalt has been tapped to create the first course and says that it will “most likely be a beautiful representation of local seafood.”

Because he has to keep his culinary masterpiece under wraps, The Winged M asked him to instead divulge his three favorite Pinot Noirs. Here’s what he had to say:

Paella and Sangria Nights at Sunset Bistro 6 p.m. Tuesdays, July 17 and Aug. 14 Sunset Bistro’s Paella and Sangria Nights pack so much Spanish flavor into a Tuesday evening that you’ll be compelled to bid your server adios with the words, “buenas noches.”

Executive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt takes his ingredients seriously, whether it’s the components of an authentic paella or the recipe for a good time. “It’s this super traditional Valencian dish,” he says. “When you make it right, the result is fun, lighthearted and very Spanish.”

Oswalt starts with arroz de bomba, a fat grain of rice that doesn’t burn easily.

Mussels, clams, chicken wings, dried chorizo, octopus, peas, charred orange and, of course, Spanish saffron are added to create a complex flavor that’s as comforting as it is exotic.

“Paella is elegant, but it’s also a peasant dish,” he says. “You cook everything in front

Division Wine co. Pinot Noir Rosé “My wife and I spent our honeymoon in France, and this rosé reminds me of the ones we drank during that trip.”

of people. Then, you open it up, pour in some sangria, and it’s an instant party.”

For those who wish to enjoy their sangria outside of the context of paella, MAC’s culinary team has devised a brilliant delivery method: ice luge. White and red varieties both will be poured down an ice sculpture and into the glasses of thirsty members.

Lange Estate Winery 1891 Pinot Noir “I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention MAC’s house pinot, and it goes great with many of the club’s culinary offerings.”

elcome to the combined July-August issue of The Winged M! Our theme this month is Back to School, but even if you don’t have young ones at home, you can start to feel the annual transition at the club from the slower summer months to the fresh energy of the fall.

And speaking of transition, as this issue goes to press, we are on track to launch a redesigned website in August. This is the completion of the first phase of a two-year-long project to improve your digital experience at MAC. This phase focused on the site’s look and feel with a more modern and streamlined design, and intuitive navigation to get you to the page you want faster. Here are a few of the new features you can look forward to: • Each sport page features a place to post your news, scores, and photos so you can keep your community up-to-date on all the action.

• The Class Guide is now searchable by category, age, and day of the week, making it easier to find a specific class or shop around for something new to try.

• The homepage shows you at a glance what events and activities you’ve registered for and, if you’re the primary account holder, the rest of your family’s reservations.

• The Winged M has a new home online where you can find articles from the print version as well as exclusive, web-only content.

You also will see a big improvement in the mobile version of the website, which is now designed to be as useful and easy-touse as the desktop version. The app also will get a minor refresh, incorporating some of the improvements we made to the desktop and mobile sites. Keep an eye on your email for the official website launch date!

Shattering Expectations in the Pool and Beyond A student athlete’s swimming success story

G

Achievement Through Athletics When Rodriguez joined the Oregon State swim team as a freshman in August 2017, she was struck by how different

etting into college wasn’t a problem for Fernanda Rodriguez. The MAC Scholar Athlete and 2017 David Douglas graduate had great grades, was deeply involved in her community and was among the best swimmers in the state in the breaststroke. But paying for college was a different story.

Rodriguez’s family had limited resources, and she had limited access to federal funds typically available to graduating seniors. On top of that, her parents were uneasy about her decision to swim at Oregon State University. “My family is very traditional, and for my parents, it was unheard of to go and be an athlete in college, or even leave home for college,” she says. “My parents wanted me to stay home and maybe study something simple.”

Rodriguez needed to find her own path to school, and a portion of that path ran through the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Last year, Rodriguez was one of three recipients of the annual Joe Loprinzi Scholarship, the largest scholarship gifts the foundation awards each year.

Her $11,000 award, combined with a partial swimming scholarship and an academic scholarship from OSU, were enough to make her college dream a reality.

“When I think of Fernanda, I think of how grateful she is for her opportunities,” says Jim Bowe, head swim coach at David Douglas High School. “After each season, Fernanda took the time to write a personal letter to each coach thanking them for the time and effort they put into her swimming and development as a person. In my 20-plus years of coaching, I’ve had plenty of young people thank me. She is the only athlete who has done that every year.”

This year, Rodriguez receives a continuing-support scholarship — a smaller gift MAF often provides to former Loprinzi winners having success in their college careers. Rodriguez and the foundation’s other scholarship recipients — 44 in all – will be recognized during the inaugural scholarship event in August.

Fernanda Rodriguez swims for OSU.

CLUB NEWS college swimming was from her competitive club program in high school. Sure, the swimmers were faster, but there were other differences. “Club swimming was very individual. In college, it’s more focused on what the team can do as a whole,” she says. “We swim for up to three hours a day, but there are team meetings, there is team bonding, and volunteer sessions where we all get to know each other better, and give back to the community and support each other.”

It’s been a welcome change that helped her find a community of friends and mentors. That’s invaluable when you’re a new student at a big school in a sport that requires you to work out, eat breakfast and head to class before the average freshman is awake. Collegiate swimming has also offered the opportunity to travel. With meets nearly every weekend during the season, Rodriguez has logged more miles in one year than she had in the previous 18. And she’s building relationships along the way.

“It feels like family,” she says of college swimming. “I’m with some of my best friends. I train with them 24-7, we live in the dorms together, we eat together, we go places together.”

When she’s not in the pool, Rodriguez is studying kinesiology with a nursing focus.

After she graduates from Oregon State, she plans to attend a two-year nursing program and become a trauma nurse.

What’s in a Name?

Rodriguez’s scholarship is named after Joe Loprinzi, the fitness guru and longtime MAC employee who needs little introduction. But there are other scholarships MAF oversees that honor the work of individuals who have made a difference at MAC and in the community.

MAF Tributes Honor someone special or memorialize someone who has passed away by making a tribute gift to the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Tributes fall under one of five designations: memorial, anniversary, get well, birthday or recognition. To make a contribution, contact MAF Executive Director Lisa Bendt at 503-517-2350 or lbendt@ MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

Your Support Makes It Happen The hardest part about sharing the stories of MAF scholarship recipients is choosing whose to tell. This month it was Fernanda Rodriguez’s story, but she’s just one of three inspirational teens who received a Loprinzi Scholarship last year. And the Loprinzi Scholarship is one of seven programs that honors students across the region, many of whom have overcome incredible odds to find academic and athletic success.

These stories wouldn’t exist to share without your help. Your annual $25 donation, added to your July statement, helps fuel opportunities for young people. Those opportunities come in different shapes and sizes. For scholarship recipients, you’re helping to provide access to college. For our community grant recipients, you’re providing access for kids to play sports, or in some cases, to just play. Among our grant recipients are organizations that build playgrounds and provide access to sports in underserved areas.

The Foundation thanks you for your generous contribution. And if you want to do more, we’ve got some ideas! If you are interested in establishing a named scholarship or have questions about the Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Annual Fund Drive, contact Executive Director Lisa Bendt at 503-517-2350 or lbendt@MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com. A gift acknowledgement will be sent for this tax-deductible gift in mid-September.

Family and Friends Day Opens Facilities to MAC Employees I f members notice that they can’t access parts of the club from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12, it’s for a very good reason. In an effort to let employees experience the fun and fitness of its facilities, MAC is hosting Family and Friends Day in a variety of locations around the clubhouse.

Club staff and their clans can try their hands at tennis, racquetball, climbing and swimming, and their feet and sense of balance in bouncy houses and on the Wibit floating obstacle course.

There also will be a barbecue to celebrate employees and their hard work all year long, and a number of additional activities designed to keep kids entertained.

This is the first time the club has hosted a Family & Friends Day since 1999, when the party also marked the opening of the Loprinzi Wing. Feedback from the 2016 Employee Engagement Survey indicated an interest in resurrecting the event, and Human Resources took the lead in making those requests a reality. Director Alison Beppler says that huge thanks are due to the board for approving the request to host this event for employees.

“I am looking forward to my staff being able to show off where they work and what they do,” adds My MAC Playschool Huckleberry Lead Teacher Kate Nolan. “I really want them to enjoy themselves with their own children, friends and families since they do such a great job providing for our members.”

MAC staff member Chancey Bolin and her daughter Princess.

What follows is a list of areas that will be closed between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Aug. 12.: Fit Zone, Main Gym, West Gym, West Pool, Racquetball Courts 7-10 and the outdoor tennis courts.

In Memoriam Sean Michael Dooney Sr. Oct. 13, 1961-May. 6, 2018 Sean Dooney died tragically in a boating accident along with his uncle, Kevin Dooney, on the Washington coast Sunday, May 6, 2018, leaving his family, friends and business colleagues shocked and heartbroken.

Sean was born Oct. 13, 1961, to Brian and Margaret Dooney, who raised their six children at the Madeleine Parish in N.E. Portland.

Sean graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1979, and went on to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Business at Oregon State University. During his freshman year at OSU, he met the love of his life, Sheri, and together they created a magical life together.

They raised their children at St. Thomas More Parish, where they attended the K-8 school for a total of 22 years.

Sean grew up going to his father’s office, the insurance business that his grandfather Leonard Adams began in 1933. Sean started as the third generation working at Leonard Adams Company in 1988, and helped grow the business to where it is today, a strong and

20 | The Wınged M |

successful, independent, family owned insurance agency. His oldest son, Brian, started the fourth generation three years ago and looks forward to carrying on his father’s legacy.

Sean was “all about his customers” and would go to every length to provide them with the best service. He truly loved his long-time relationships and valued his customers, who often became lifelong friends. As testified by his many business relationships, Sean was an honest businessman who treated his customers well. He left a mark on the insurance industry and his colleagues that will be long remembered.

Sean’s time spent in college in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity created an unbreakable bond that developed into a profound part of his life. With his brother Dan, the “Dooney boys” were a force to be reckoned with. Their love and passion for their “Brothers in the bond” will live on forever. Sheri knows that whenever she makes a call to one of the Phi Delt brothers, they will be there for her and her family at moment’s notice.

JULY/AUGUST 2018

Sean’s Central Catholic bond also had a lifelong impact on him and his family.

The love and depth of the CC community friendships will continue to be strong as Sean’s youngest of six children carry on his legacy as Central Catholic Rams. The Jesuit High School Community has also been an important part of Sean’s life and his family, especially his oldest son, Brian, who attended Jesuit High School.

With Sean, all things were possible, and he truly embraced this idea in everything he did. Sean’s adventurous spirit could cause a dance party to erupt at any given moment, always uplifting the mood and creating another amazing memory! He would pull out a random song from the past and have the whole house rocking in minutes! The night could go on forever singing, dancing and creating memorable moments and deepening friendships. He had a way of taking a ho-hum situation and making it into yet another highlight.

Family gatherings were important to Sean, and he worked hard to bring the whole family together. He fueled gatherings with his energetic ways and always left a lasting impact. He seemed to have a connection with anything and anyone, and he loved every minute of it.

He honored and loved his parents with all his heart and thoroughly enjoyed the many adventures with them — from fly fishing in Canada to skiing in Sun Valley to weekends at the beach.

As his children like to say, he revolved around people and people revolved around him. He loved deeply, lived life fully and vibrantly, celebrating special moments along the way. He was an avid skier, boater and golfer who truly loved many sports and shared that love with his family. Sean’s loyalty and commitment to family, his faith, community, business and friends led him to a well-lived life of giving and making a difference in his community.

Sean leaves behind his wife, Sheri; his children, Brian Patrick, Sean Michael Jr., Meagan Kathleen, Daniel Ryan (Danny), Erin Colleen, Ronan Timothy and Molly Maureen; his parents, Brian and Margaret; siblings, Maryann, Kathleen Niedermeyer (Jon), Tim (Dena) and Michael; 10 nieces and nephews; as well as many cousins, aunts and uncles.

Sean was interred at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery. Donations may be made in his memory to the following Sean Dooney Memorial Scholarship Funds: Central Catholic High School, 2401 S.E.

A Simply Amazing Experience

Whether you want golf, relaxation, great food, shooting, fishing or simply a massage, Silvies has something for everyone.

By: Hank Hickox

N

estled in the beautiful high desert and pine forest country of eastern Oregon is a jewel in the form of a new eco-resort.

A 140,000-acre working ranch, raising grass-fed Red Angus cattle and American Range goats, is home to the Retreat and Links at Silvies Valley Ranch.

Lodging and Accomodations The boutique luxury resort (only 34 rooms), with tastefully designed Westernstyle accommodations and amenities, is perfectly melded into a full ranch experience. Log Cabins overlook a pond stocked with rainbow trout. Each cabin features 2 bedrooms with king beds, a great room, 3 bathrooms, 5 televisions, a wine cooler and private hot tub. Other accommodations include Ranch House rooms, which, despite the rustic name, are equivalent to the finest of hotel rooms.

Each feature king beds, walk-in tiled rain showers, big screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi, among other amenities.

Dining Options On-site dining includes breakfast and lunch at Egan’s Hideout overlooking the spectacular golf courses. Dinner is offered in the stunning dining room of The Lodge, a brief walk from all rooms. Enjoy a fully stocked bar, option of communal dining at the “Ranch Table” and post-dinner cocktails under the stars around the firepit on the patio overlooking Otter Pond. Dining fare showcases delicious ranch-raised organic beef and chevon and in-house prepared accompaniments and desserts.

Fitness and Conference Facilities An expansive Spa & Fitness Center opening in July will offer full spa services, plus an 80-foot lap pool and climbing wall.

Groups up to 40 will enjoy meeting in the convenient Conference Center on site.

Unique Golf Experiences But what makes this resort even more unique is the ranch experience options, such as golf on the 18-hole reversible course—the first built anywhere in over 450 years (since the Old Course at St. Andrews). Designed by Dan Hixson, The Hankins and Craddock courses reverse on alternate days providing two distinctly different golf experiences.

There’s also the 9-hole par 3 Chief Egan course and, opening in July, McVeigh’s Gauntlet—a 7-hole challenge course, featuring goat caddies and a par 2 bonus hole!

Ranch Experiences State of the art shooting ranges, horseback riding, cattle drives, goat herding, birding and tasting of more than 100 Scotches are just a few of the things you can try at Silvies.

Wildlife and Conservation Or simply unplug, relax and enjoy the valley’s vast landscape and abundant wildlife and wildflowers. Owners, Scott and Sandy Campbell are fully committed to sustainable ecological enhancement and conservation of natural resources—which is evident everywhere. For example, no plastic water bottles are allowed, instead, guests receive complimentary Hydro Flasks in their choice of color.

Location Experience all that Frontier Oregon has to offer at this new unique and amazing resort.

Silvies is only 2 1/2 hours from Bend and a half hour from Burns or John Day. Airport pickup is available and the property has a 5,000 foot paved runway for private aircraft.

Call 1-800-SILVIES or visit www.silvies.us for more information.

O T C A M L O O H SC MEMBERS OF ALL AGES USE THE CLUB AS A TOOL FOR LEARNING AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT BETWEEN CLASSES

BY JAKE TEN PAS

If you want to excel in life, eat the pumpkin muffins at Joe’s. Sure, studying, hard work, discipline, risktaking, and the ability to listen all are important, too.

But it all begins with a pumpkin muffin.

“To relieve stress, I just go see what I can find to do. I play basketball, go to Joe’s to get a snack. Just hang out, talk to people, all those kinds of things,” says 18-year-old Rob Mead, who recently graduated from Columbia River High School in Vancouver. His favorite snack from Joe’s? That’s right, it’s a pumpkin muffin.

Morgan Miller, MAC’s Junior Activities Committee chair, concurs that Joe’s is the best place in the club to chill, socialize, and procure the calories necessary to keep studying, playing sports, and just generally functioning at a high level. “The food, and in particular the pumpkin muffins, are great,” she says.

Anecdotal? Perhaps, but when two out of three individuals interviewed for a story on how to make the most of MAC for back-to-school purposes recommend a common baked good, the smart money is on listening.

In the fall, Mead matriculates at Northwestern Preparatory School in California, on his way, hopefully, to the Air Force Academy. Meanwhile, Miller starts eigth grade in the fall at West Sylvan Middle School, with Lincoln High School in her sights.

As both of them keep their eyes on the horizon, goal-setting and achievement remain important parts of their respective processes, both scholastically and athletically. When Miller reaches a goal, what kind of a reward awaits?

“Well, I think a pumpkin muffin is good,” she says. “But if I’m practicing my free throws, and then it pays off in the game, that’s the real reward.

She also uses the weight room three times a week, crediting trainer Monty Button with continuing to push her to try new things and “Up those repetitions.”

All of her activities at the club serve to keep her active and, as evidenced both by her continuing thirst for knowledge and sharp retorts during the interview for this story, smart as a whip. In addition to the proven benefits of athleticism, there’s something to be said for maintaining a strong social network, in real life and not just online.

“After almost every water volleyball game, someone says, ‘Is someone staying for lunch?’ If enough of us do, we head to the pub or the bistro, and keep the conversation going.”

Staying Sharp Dinda Mills might not have the same zeal for pumpkin muffins as Mead and Miller, but she loves to learn every bit as much as her junior counterparts. The 91-year-old water-volleyball enthusiast is enrolled in two classes at Hillsdale College, American Heritage and Constitution 101.

“You hear a lot about what’s constitutional and what’s not, and a lot about the Electoral College,” she says. “I’ve read a lot of articles about this and that, the pros and cons, and I just thought, ‘Well, I’ll take these classes and learn why they made the decisions they did for the Constitution.”

For her, education is about staying informed and independent, two goals that can take on even greater importance when you’re of an age to consider making the move to a retirement community. Mills takes pride in still living on her own at home, and fills her days with gardening and other house-improvement projects.

She also has been an active member of MAC’s water volleyball community since before it was co-ed. She joined the Merrymacs in 1954, and has been a part of the social athleticism of that program ever

since. Through the years, she’s seen women’s place within the club change and grow, and remembers attending the very first meeting where women were allowed to exercise their full membership by voting.

Merrymacs eventually combined with its male counterpart, the Polar Bears, and the co-ed water volleyball program has remained an important part of her weekly routine. “I think it’s better now that we’ve combined. It seems to be more fun,” she says.

Middle Ages The concept of saying “Yes and …” will be familiar to anyone who’s ever taken an improv class or who watched the fourth season of Arrested Development. It’s a spirit of figuring out how to do it all, or to at least do one more thing than you thought possible.

Mead and Miller’s experiences at the club are both stories of what happens when you say, “Yes and …”

little kids,” she says. “Like the gingerbread making at the Holiday Open House!”

All of this involvement in club activities has taught Miller a fair amount of leadership, responsibility, and compromise.

“I have to include everyone and make sure everybody’s ideas are shared, and I sometimes have to lead people into conversation,” she says. “I help the main adult leader of our committee by editing and revising our agenda for the day. I go through it and help shape the conversation.

I feel like that will help later on in life with my leadership skills.”

Role Models Continued from page 27

Dinda Mills

In addition to playing club basketball outside of MAC, Miller uses the club to swim, shoot around, and play volleyball.

She also looks forward to having the club as a quiet place to study when she gets to high school, and all she has to do is walk the block between Lincoln and MAC. In the meantime, she’s at an age when she doesn’t yet have full access to the club’s many offerings, which seems strange given the grown-up fashion in which she carries herself. While she pursued a leadership role on the Junior Events committee and is quite serious in her dedication to basketball, it will be another year before she can use the Exercise & Conditioning Room, studios, or Women’s Locker Room.

Her commitment to constant basketball practice, and taking an active role in the club community, keeps her busy, though. And in some ways, the same spirit of independence Mills displays is present in Miller. “I kind of wanted to get a say in what happens around the club for my age, in getting to say and plan how the MAC dance goes, and do volunteer work for the

Mead also has learned a number of lessons via club interactions that he looks forward to taking with him into the future. A dedicated and successful swimmer, he’s had wins not only in the 100- and 200-meter backstroke, but also in taking a leadership role with his fellow teammates. He says that his coaches have helped him out of the pool, too.

“I was really preparing for the SAT. The coaches from my team, they’re just really supportive and telling me, ‘You just have to keep going on and keep studying.’

I’ve put in the work, so next year I should be good!” he says.

But Mead says there are other truths to take away from his time at MAC, ones that aren’t necessarily specific to school, but are nonetheless applicable. “Just stay honest. Be honest with yourself, honest with others. Because if you’re honest to everyone else around you, they’ll tend to be honest back to you, and that’s a good thing.”

“Pretty much we’re all the same. We all want to be good people here, all try to respect each other, and that’s the good thing you need in life. You want to respect

everybody, and obviously it’s kind of like a family here,” he says.

These are the things Mead picks up from other members when playing pick-up basketball, or from Mr. Bunting at the athletic desk, with whom he’s formed a friendship since becoming a member. Mead regularly studies in the club, and says his favorite spot is just outside the Junior Lounge, on the gallery overlooking the E&C. When he heads off to Northwestern Prep next year, he does so with the usual mix of anticipation and trepidation that faces so many college freshmen. “I’m a little bit of nervous, and very excited. I’m a little nervous I’m going be there by myself

and won’t know too many people. But also excited just because it’s an opportunity to be on my own.”

He seems confident, though, that his time at MAC has helped to prepare him for that challenge. “It’s different in the sense that your life’s really just starting,” he says.

“It’s just kind of that wake-up call that now you’re really an adult, you have to do adult things. You have a lot more responsibilities on your plate than you would when you were younger. But this place has taught me how to be OK in any situation. Like, with the swim team. We all just kind of look out for each other and make sure what someone else needs, they might get some help from you.” WM

We asked 18-year-old club member and champion swimmer Brynne O’Shea about her experience working with trainer Dylan Ferrell. In the midst of preparing to head off to Duke this fall, she took the time out to fill us in: Winged M: What was your goal? How did your personal trainer support you in achieving it?

Brynne O’Shea: When I first started working with Dylan, I had never worked with a trainer before. I was about 14 years old and was suffering from growing pains and other issues associated with being as weak as I was. My goal was to become stronger so my body could handle the obstacles being thrown at me every day. Dylan helped me to accept my limits, but also to challenge myself in the gym, but in my daily life.

When I got older, my body changed and so did my issues; Dylan would put time in outside of the gym to further understand what injuries I was facing and how he could help me get stronger to prevent them from happening again. My goal then shifted to working on a shoulder injury and strengthening my upper body.

Personal Trainer Dylan Ferrell

Success Story Continued from page 31 WM: Did you achieve your goal? If so, what was the hardest part of doing so? If not, how close did you come?

BO: When it comes to being an athlete, I try not to set an exact goal but just appreciate the advancements and successes that I have. Dylan helped both me get stronger both physically and mentally. I have been faced with many setbacks this year, and Dylan has not only been a mentor to me, but he has been like family. He has helped me more than I thought possible.

WM: Aside from achieving your goal, what did you learn from working with a personal trainer?

BO: Dylan has taught me how to take care of my health, my body and my mind. When I was having a bad day, I could count on Dylan to be my biggest supporter and fan.

He taught me how to avoid judgment and accept people for who and what they are.

He showed me how to see the bright side of my darkest days and how to be the bigger person in any situation.

WM: What is the one thing someone who’s never worked with a personal trainer should know?

BO: Something anyone who works with a trainer should know is that it is going to be hard and you might want to give up, but the hardest part is showing up, and if you do that then that’s all you can ask for.

WM: Do you define success differently now than you did when you first started working with your trainer?

BO: When I was younger I never saw a bad day in my sport. As I got older, I saw more obstacles and fewer victories. Dylan taught me that when you see plateaus, you don’t get down on yourself but you look at what you can improve. WM JULY/AUGUST 2018

BALLADEERS MEN’S CHORUS

Carnegie Hall Debut

Following months of practice, practice and more practice, 22 members of the MAC Balladeers Men’s Chorus made their debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Saturday, June 2.

The 105-person choir also included 14 of the MelloMacs and several other choral groups from the Portland and New York regions. They performed composer Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem in D Minor, Op. 48 with the New England Symphonic Ensemble, conducted by the Balladeers’ Music Director Dr. Scott Tuomi.

Following the evening performance, the group enjoyed a midnight dinner and dancing cruise on New York Harbor that included close-up views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

ACTIVITIES Duplicate Bridge Alzheimer’s Fundraiser Each year on the summer solstice, the Alzheimer’s Association hosts its signature fundraiser, The Longest Day®, to raise funds and awareness to advance Alzheimer’s research. Over the past six years, bridge players across the country have raised more the $3.5 million to fuel the association’s care, support and research efforts. This year, MAC Duplicate Bridge tournament players joined the cause, pledging to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from their June 18 game to the Alzheimer’s Association. Seventy MAC member participated, raising more than $1,000. Additionally, the American Contract Bridge League waived the fee it typically charges players for the tournament, and instead contributed the amount to the cause.

As the number of people affected by Alzheimer’s rises, the effort to find prevention strategies continues. Several studies indicate maintaining strong social connections and keeping mentally active, through activities such as playing bridge, might delay cognitive decline and possibly Alzheimer’s.

WELLNESS

Understanding Teens’ Developing Brains recently was asked to speak to a group of teens and their parents on the topic of young adults’ developing brains.

Afterward, I heard two recurring themes — relief and gratitude. The teens were relieved that they weren’t alone with their feelings, and their parents were grateful that their teenager’s behavior was completely natural.

As the human brain develops, the last part to reach maturity is the prefrontal cortex — the area relegated to problem solving and sound judgement. It’s the part of the brain that makes us pause and weigh outcomes before we act. Since this part of the brain is still developing during the teen years, young adults are frequently labeled as emotional, rash or moody. They stay up late, then are tired and irritable the following day. They eat poorly, often skipping meals and then make up for it with nutritionally poor foods.

Naturopaths believe in treating the whole body. To do so, we look at personal and family medical histories as well as mental, emotional, hormonal and physical health. I use this approach when helping young adults and their parents navigate the difficult teen years.

When meeting with young adults, I first discuss what is going on in their lives, then make a treatment plan that may touch on one or more of the following topics.

GETTY IMAGES

I

• Diet: We can discuss better timing and balance of their meal choices, without completely changing their diets.

• Sleep melatonin: Our natural sleep hormone turns on later for teens than for adults. I may suggest techniques or natural remedies to improve their sleep cycles now.

• Hormones: These rage during the teen years, but there are a range of treatment options to manage hormonal surges.

• School and social pressures: We may discuss techniques to deal with stress and

anxiety, and the possible use of vitamins and supplements to help better-manage stress.

• Chronic muscle pain: I might recommend manual therapy such as cupping and dry needling, in conjunction with massage or physical therapy.

At the end of the day, I want young adults to know that what they are experiencing is normal and that with a little help, they will not just survive, but thrive.

EATING WELL It is easy to get stuck in lunchtime and snack ruts, or fall back on pre-packaged foods. Get a jump start on the school year with these ideas for fresh, healthy, tasty lunches and snacks.

• Whole wheat pita or flat bread with hummus or mayonnaise and as many fruits or vegetables as desired (cucumbers, shredded carrots, sliced tomato, avocado).

• Dave’s Killer Bread, peanut butter and fruit spread without added sugar (add a banana too).

• A slice of turkey or roast beef wrapped around a cheese stick with a crunchy slice of sweet bell pepper for a bread-free sandwich.

• Combine bit-sized pieces of your favorite fresh fruit — pineapple, kiwi, berries, melon, orange segments — to make fruit kabobs. These are deliciously sweet plain, or alongside plain yogurt with a little cinnamon.

Snacks Kids Can Make Too! • Greek yogurt with cereal or almonds • Whole grain crackers with part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks • Frozen grapes with nuts • Banana or apples with peanut putter • Whole grain bread (with turkey, tuna, lean roast beef), avocado and tomato

BEWARE OF TEXT NECK A friendly “heads up” from your resident physical therapist

T

echnology may help facilitate incredible intellectual opportunities, but at what physical price? Look around. How many people do you see staring down at a phone? That’s the source of “text neck” — a buzz phrase circulating recently in the health-care community.

Chances are good that every parent you know is familiar with the battle over devices (or soon will be). What is the appropriate age for a child to have a cell phone? How much privacy should they be allowed? How much screen time is too much? I don’t have answers to those questions, but I can shed some light on a growing trend: an increase in the number of young people with complaints of neck pain and/or neck related headaches. While patients have their own unique histories, we can’t ignore the correlation between increased screen time and increased pain. Individuals in the U.S. spend between two to four hours per day bent over screens, and this average is notably higher in the high school population.

How does screen time translate to strain on the neck? Without getting too technical, the weight of your head in relation to your neck is dependent on its position. At 0 degrees flexion, the average head weighs about 12 pounds. But, flex the neck to 15 degrees, and the weight increases to 27 pounds. At 45 degrees, it’s up to 49 pounds. And at 60 degrees, a whopping 60 pounds! To put that in perspective, you’d have to pay extra to check that bag onto a plane.

That’s a big load for your cervical spine to carry!

Now before you rush out and buy a neck brace, remember that the human body is wonderfully engineered to withstand these types of positional forces. However, it’s only been recently that we’ve demanded our bodies sustain these forces for long periods of time.

In fact, holding any position for long periods becomes uncomfortable and could potentially lead to unwanted wear, tear and degeneration.

For example, go ahead and bend your pinky back and then relax it. Uncomfortable, but not necessarily painful, right? Now imagine if you held it back for an hour. It would feel pretty sore coming out of that position. Doing that motion one time won’t cause any permanent tissue change. But if you held a finger back four hours

JULY/AUGUST 2018

a day, 365 days a year; you can bet that those 1,460 hours would make a serious physical impact.

Bodies are made to move and want to move. Taking breaks, moving and stretching are great tools to defend against pain. But it’s also important to reduce strain where possible. Whether you are looking at your cell phone, tablet or computer, or hunching over a textbook, try to position the object so you can look down mostly with your eyes and not with your neck.

And for those times when you find yourself coming up for air from a YouTube rabbit hole, here are a few exercises to ease the discomfort and help activate some key postural muscles: Exercise 1: Cervical Retractions Everyone, with neck pain or not, should do these daily. Not only does this movement stretch what needs to be stretched, but it strengthens and trains the key muscles that hold the head up. Begin by sitting/standing upright and gently drawing in your chin, keeping your nose straight forward and eyes fixed on something in front of you. Go until you can feel a stretch at the back of the neck. Some may feel the stretch at the base of the skull, while others may feel it down into their shoulder blades. Repeat 10-15 times.

Exercise 2: Just Move Look up, look down, look side to side.

Movement is key! Listen to your body and do what feels good. If it feels great to stretch your ear towards your shoulder, go for it. But, do it gently.

Exercise 3: Good Posture Try to imagine tucking your shoulder blades into your back pockets. My patients know this phrase well. Shoulders should move down away from ears, and tuck back slightly. Think about engaging your lower shoulder blade muscles to pull down, supporting and anchoring your whole shoulder girdle.

If you or a loved one struggles with pain or has any further questions, neck related or otherwise, please do not hesitate to reach out: 503-272-8785 or kinziemunardpt@gmail.com.

Same Great Massage Team, Now Part of MAC Wellnesss Members might not notice the most recent additions to MAC’s Wellness team. At least not until they need the kinks worked out of their backs. Even then, they’ll simply go visit the club’s team of licensed massage therapists (LMT), like they have been for years.

The only difference will be that those massage therapists are no longer contractors, but official MAC employees! While this distinction won’t impact the relationships members have formed with their LMTs over the years, it offers distinct advantages both to the practitioners of massage and the Wellness team that’s welcoming them aboard.

Jonathan Berg

Dennis Boardman

Nadia Sokolova

These employees come from a staggering array of backgrounds, and bring a wealth of experience to the club.

Angelle St. Pierre

Andrea Trautwein

Cliff Williams

Nadia Sokolova, for instance, worked as a massage therapist for the Russian (then known as the U.S.S.R) gymnastics team at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. After immigrating to the United States, she supported the U.S. national team in Colorado before joining MAC’s team of contractors in 1990.

Her 2,000-plus hours of training cover deep tissue, Swedish, reflexology, Watsu and warm stone, and she recently added Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor to her list of skills and achievements.

auto-related injuries, and helping members face past and present pain and traumas.

Andrea Trautwein adds experience in trigger point, Thai, biodynamic cranio-sacral, and Ashiatsu, in addition to practicing equine massage when not at MAC.

These employees come from a staggering array of backgrounds, and bring a wealth of experience to the club.

Explains Wellness Manager Will Cath, “As employees, instead of independent contractors, we can promote their services appropriately, provide professional advancement opportunities, assist with customer support on a deeper level, and begin to integrate massage into MAC Wellness and beyond.”

Dennis Boardman, on the other hand, is a former bankruptcy lawyer who decided to redirect his career toward wellness and joined in MAC massage team in 1994. In addition to addition to Watsu, deep tissue, Swedish and sports massage, he offers reiki, Chinese cupping, myofascial release and therapeutic touch.

Angelle St. Pierre combines a love of bodywork and yoga, and specializes in TMJ dysfunction, whiplash and other

Cliff Williams brings 38 years of study and practice of body-centered healing to his work with members. His original degree was in biology, and he’s continued to build upon that base through certification in structural integration and advanced myofascial techniques. Practicing for nearly as long as Williams, Jonathan Berg has been a Trager practitioner and student of polarity therapy, and is currently a Board Certified Structural Integrator.

Like the rest of MAC’s team, he’s passionate about helping clients live their lives free of pain and with as much ease and grace as possible.

Together, these experienced practitioners of the healing arts offer additional services

such as reflexology, cross-fiber, omega, and Shirodhara to MAC members. These will continue to be offered in the current massage locations, including the Women’s Locker Room.

“Little will change with the approach members have with our team,” Cath says.

Reservations still can be made through At Your Service or the LMTs themselves.

Cath also hopes to soon offer more time options for appointments and facilitate conversations between the LMTs and other members of the Wellness team, such as the club’s naturopath, dietitian and physical therapists.

“Wellness can finally support the massage department in a manner that helps our employees, benefits the membership, and provides opportunities for collaboration throughout the club,” he says.

Journey to the Fit Zone

By Jake Ten Pas “You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of sweat. A journey into an active land of imagination. Next stop, the Fit Zone!”

—Rod Serling, if he’d worked at MAC

T

hat reference is likely lost on those young enough to use the Fit Zone — MAC’s futuristic facility of free play and creatively conceived workouts. But for one afternoon only, two of us old enough to have spent time in The Twilight Zone were granted access to this realm of young people. The result: Laughter, labored breathing and jealousy that kids get to use this wondrous space year round!

Submitted for your approval: Winged M editorial team Jake Ten Pas and Allyson Wilinski. Jake is stocky of build and only inclined toward marathons of the movie variety. Wilinski looks like she could be a marathoner, but swears she could use a workout.

Both are about to encounter personal trainer Matt Caputo, a man who radiates good cheer even as he puts them through their perspiring paces. When they emerge from the Fit Zone, they might not be different people, but they will have different outlooks.

The glow of exercise will course through their veins, lighting the way out of … the Fit Zone.

Light Fight Another beloved relic of childhood comes to mind as I literally square-off against my managing editor on the giant, vertical disco floor that is the Exergame T-Wall 64: Simon. You know, the ’80s game that gave kids fits trying to keep up with its red, blue, green and yellow panels, taunting them with accelerating patterns of increasing complexity designed to test their memories.

52 | The Wınged M |

JULY/AUGUST 2018

If Simon was a workout for your mind — and maybe your fingertips — the T-Wall is a fuller-body experience. Matt advises Allyson and me to essentially plié, jumping when necessary, to whack the pulsating wall with spherical rubber mallets. Looking at us, you might be reminded of a game of Dance Dance Revolution as played by orangutans with foursquare balls duct-taped to their paws.

Lights flash across the board, and we lean, bop, crane our necks, bop again, and repeat, trying to outscore one another. In this particular contest, I would be the victor, but Allyson would soon taste sweet revenge on the Nexersys Mixed Martial Arts Trainer.

The T-Wall is so much fun that it would take an incredibly kind kid not to brag to their parents that the only one at the club is in the Fit Zone. From the side-by-side mode to memory games, solo competition to the insidious setting known as “Hurry Up,” this machine keeps you hopping and thinking and observing in a way many smaller electronic devices generally don’t.

Sprint Condition Next up, Matt’s laying out a line of brightly colored plastic cones on the West Gym floor, directly outside the Fit Zone. He’s got what appears to be a plastic karaoke microphone in his hand, but it turns out to be a timing device designed to send us sprinting as fast as we can from cone to cone, in search of the matching hue.

Ultra Dash is fun twist on shuttle runs that make kids think on the fly while also improving speed, acceleration and anaerobic fitness. Basically, we hold the plastic wand in our hand, watch for the color that appears, and then sprint to the corresponding cone. The trickiest part of the endeavor is trying to somewhat gingerly insert the wand into the cone while berserking like a Norse warrior.

Then, we run back to the starting line, the color changes, and off we go again.

MAC is victorious in the Golden Masters division.

BASKETBALL

Reigning Champions MAC hoops program makes a lasting impact on players and coaches

T

he NACAD Basketball Championships were held in late April at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, breaking from a 32-year tradition of being hosted by athletic clubs.

MAC teams killed it in the desert!

MAC sent six men’s teams and one women’s team to compete.

Each men’s team qualified for and competed in its respective championship game, and MAC walked away with three NACAD victories — for the Open Division, Golden Masters and AA teams.

“Our team could not be prouder of our journey to the NACAD championship,” said Open Division player Jeff Elorriaga, who grew up playing in the MAC Junior Basketball program. “Five weeks ago we went 0-3 at PCAC (regionals) with an average margin of defeat in double digits. But we came together and turned our performance around, which makes this success even more meaningful.”

MAC Basketball has made a lasting positive impact on Elorriga.

His father, Steve, played many years on the Open team, winning multiple championships. Jeff and his brother, John, followed in their father’s footsteps, with John winning at the A level. “It is a tremendous honor to be able to play with such a talented group of people, and I feel very fortunate to have represented MAC with this championship win,” he added.

Scott Dougherty, who plays on the AA team, also grew up watching his dad, John, compete on the basketball court. He reflected on how MAC Basketball helps him achieve balance.

“The older I get, the more responsibilities I take on in my life.

With a second child on the way, the amount of time I justify carving out for myself is steadily decreasing. Perhaps that’s why MAC Basketball plays an increasingly important role in my life. It

54 | The Wınged M |

provides the opportunity to exercise, release competitive energy, experience a team atmosphere and foster lifelong friendships.

Winning championships against reciprocal clubs makes the experience that much sweeter, but the reward is truly in the journey with fellow MAC members, coaches and staff.”

The View From Courtside Golden Master team coach Randy Krichevsky, a 22-year veteran of the program, shares players’ positive sentiments about competing for and representing MAC. “I have had the pleasure of being part of seven straight NACAD Golden Masters Championships, six as a player and most recently as a coach . . .

I am grateful to the MAC for giving me the opportunity to continue to participate in a game that I love.”

Basketball Manager Dan Baggett has been with the program for 25 years and couldn’t be more excited to note that “MAC is the winningest program in NACAD history. I am extremely proud of our success, but more proud to be a small part of such a wonderful group of players and coaches . . . To see a new generation of MAC members competing as adults is rewarding at levels I couldn’t begin to describe! I have been to many of our player’s weddings, funerals and birthday parties; so many of them are like family to me.” Also like family is his long-time right-hand man, Van DeKoning, who moved along from MAC this summer after 20 years. “He has had a big impact on many members’ lives,” said Baggett. “I am thankful for his hard work, dedication, loyalty and friendship over the years, and I wish him the best on his next adventure.”

ATHLETICS BASKETBALL

For the Love of Hoops Two junior basketball coaches share their passion for the game

T

he Junior Basketball season will be here before players know it! MAC has one of the finest basketball facilities in the Portland area and a group of experienced, dedicated coaches. Two of them, Kevin McShane and Stephanie Campbell, took time to answer questions about their paths to coaching, philosophies and love of the game.

Born and raised in Portland, McShane has been coaching MAC’s 3rd- and 5thgrade boys teams for two years. His love for basketball started at an early age. “My father played basketball for Ralph Miller at Oregon State during the historic Orange Express days,” he explained. “I grew up hearing stories about basketball greatness and began my own story playing for various organizations around Portland.”

Campbell grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan, aka “Cereal City USA,” and moved to Oregon eight years ago. She’s coached 3rd- and 4th-grade basketball teams at MAC for the past five years. Her hoop dreams began in 3rd grade. “Growing up, my family took me to University of Michigan basketball games, she recalled.

“At first, I just played recreational basketball with my friends, but then I really fell in love with the sport and played it competitively through high school.”

Winged M: What was your path into coaching?

Kevin McShane: I began in high school, when l started Kevin’s Backyard

Coach Stephanie Campbell (with young MAC hoopsters) Kids and coached out of my parent’s backyard. We had a half-court sport court that I used to develop my game and teach fundamentals to neighborhood kids. Since then I’ve coached at countless summer camps, school camps and at special seasonal clinics.

Stephanie Campbell: I had an amazing high school basketball coach who made a big impact on my development as a person and as a player. A lot of what I do now as a coach is inspired by him. I have a degree in education, and I love helping find fun ways for kids to learn and develop as players and human beings.

WM: What is your coaching philosophy?

KM: I want my players to have fun and work hard while developing their understanding of the principles of the game. I want to teach about life through the game

of basketball and empower the kids through positive coaching and support.

SC: I think it is really important to teach the kids the fundamentals of the game so that they have good base. It’s also critical to create a fun and challenging environment that allows them to grow individually and as a team.

WM: What’s the most important thing you want to impart to your players?

KM: A proper handshake. I want my players to know how to introduce themselves and greet others as young gentleman.

Give a firm handshake and look the other person in the eye and speak confidently.

SC: Teamwork – you can’t win games on your own. I expect girls to try their hardest and I will, in turn, always give it my best as a coach.

Coach Kevin McShane WM: What do you enjoy most about coaching at MAC? KM: I enjoy getting to know my players and their families, but I think what I enjoy most is when the kids spend time working on their game and then start to improve and apply it in practice or games. The progression of skills and confidence the players show over the course of the season is a wonderful thing to see.

SC: I have really enjoyed the kids I have been able to coach, and their supportive parents. The MAC facilities are fantastic, and the program is meant to allow girls the opportunity to develop and participate in an environment that is a step up from recreational basketball.

WM: What makes basketball a great sport for young athletes?

KM: Basketball is the perfect combination of team and self, allowing the development of fundamental skills and characteristics that encourage success on and off the court. Failure will always be one of the best teachers, however, the lessons we learn about our self during adversity are timeless and invaluable. That’s basketball!

SC: There are only five players are on a court at a time, so each person has to play their role and the team has to function as a unit. Basketball requires hard work, and I think that’s always valuable. It also keeps girls active and healthy during Oregon’s cold and wet winter months.

A Year of Dancing, and Winning F

or many years, dance competitions ended similarly for the MAC Company.

Sitting huddled together amid a noisy crowd of performers from across the Pacific Northwest, MAC dancers would quietly wait while other studios, that focused on awards and competitions, were called to the stage to receive a seemingly neverending list of scholarships and honors.

Occasionally, a MAC dancer or two would win an individual award, and often a company performance would be singled out for its excellence. But overall awards? Those were won by other companies — megastudios with dozens of teams entered in every possible category.

But recently a strange thing began to happen. MAC dancers started being recognized for their outstanding, if more subtle and polished, performances. What started as a trickle of awards a few years ago became a veritable tsunami in 2018, with dancers in all age groups and across various disciplines hearing their names called again and again.

What changed? There are more Junior Company dancers feeding into the main Company; a talented core of main Company dancers are performing outstanding pieces

58 | The Wınged M |

choreographed by coaches; and judges are recognizing more elegant routines.

Kicking off the Dance Year Auditions for the MAC Company are held each spring. Younger dancers, generally 13 and younger, are assigned to the Junior Company, while older dancers perform for the main Company or the Crew. After a fall spent working on routines, the first performance — The Nutcracker — comes together very quickly. The Junior and main Company join to perform the classic ballet at MAC’s Holiday Open House. Last year, Haley Kekow was the lead dancer in the role of Sugar Plum Fairy and Sophia Miller performed the cherished role of Clara before a standing-room-only crowd. Members of the MAC Tap Crew also performed a Rockettesstyle number for the tree lighting.

Winter Following a competition preview performance at MAC’s annual Dance Family Friday in early January, the first competition of the season is traditionally the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) regionals in Vancouver, Washington. The weekend includes multiple hours of classes with the

JULY/AUGUST 2018

industry’s top instructors, as well as performances judged by those same instructors, and auditions for scholarships to future NYCDA events.

This year, coaches Laura Haney, Maria Tucker and Erin Zintek led dancers from the main Company, Junior Company and the Tap and Hip Hop Crews through more than 15-hour-long days to garner a slew of special awards. The Junior Company had a remarkable finish, claiming the overall high score for all entries in the Mini age category.

One of the program’s newest and youngest dancers, Max Grimmer, was awarded the Future Star Award, while a veteran company member, Haley Kekow, was the first MAC dancer to receive the STEPS on Broadway Summer Intensive Scholarship!

She represents MAC this summer in New York City as an Outstanding Dancer National Scholarship recipient, contending for a national title in the Senior age category. (Marissa Talcott, Lilly Mildenberger and Kate Franzen were all finalists for the outstanding dancer scholarship.) One of the most distinguished honors, the Versatility Award, is given to just one studio in each age division, and this was MAC’s first time Continued on page 72

ATHLETICS GYMNASTICS

Jumping Into Frequently Asked Questions requirements for advancing a level. The general rule is that gymnasts must score a 4 or higher on 75 percent of all of the skills in their level. There are specific “key skills” in each level that must be learned before advancing to the next. It is perfectly normal for students to remain in the same level for several terms.

A list of the skills required for each level can be requested from a teacher or from the Gymnastics office.

What about private lessons?

Private lessons may be scheduled with any instructor at any time that works for parents and the instructor except weekdays between 3:45 and 6 p.m., when the gym is too crowded. The cost of private and semiprivate lessons varies depending on length of time and number of participants.

How do kids get on the team?

M

AC Gymnastics collected some frequently asked questions to give parents a leg up when planning kids’ fall activities.

How old does my child need to be to take classes?

Pre-Gym (ages 3-5): Kids must be potty trained by the first day of the term.

Kinder (age 5 and kindergarten): Introduces gymnastic skills.

Girls/Boys Beginner (First grade or higher): As students’ skills increase, they are able to move up through the class levels, learning progressively more difficult skills.

Parkour/Free Running (ages 8 and older): For kids who have an interest in learning how to jump, bound and flip.

Cheerleader/Tumbling (ages 12 and older): For students interested in tumbling skills such as rolls, cartwheels and round offs.

All other classes are based on skill acquisition and require instructor approval to participate.

What level should I sign my child up for if they’ve missed a few terms?

Sign them up for the same level they last participated in. If you are unsure, ask Molly Gill to check the club’s records or schedule a skill level assessment.

How can siblings be in classes that happen at the same time?

There are multiple levels of classes offered at 3:45 and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

MAC Gymnastics can usually accommodate families’ needs unless certain classes are full.

Administrative Assistant Jon Jackson works with families to find the best possible solution.

How many days a week should I sign up for?

Most kids start off with one day a week.

If parents sign up for more days, it is recommended that they keep a close eye on the feedback they get from their child. While MAC tries to keep classes fun, too much structure for a young child can become stressful or boring.

It is recommended at the intermediate and advanced levels that kids do the required two days a week in order to see the best skill level advancement.

When is open gym?

Open gym is held from 2 to 6 p.m. most Saturdays. The exceptions are certain holidays and when MAC hosts a meet or event. Waivers are required for those not currently enrolled in a class or on a team. Children under the age of 7 need to be accompanied by an adult, and the adult also will need to fill out a waiver.

How does my child move up?

Children receive a skill test sheet on the last week of every term. There are several

Is gymnastics safe?

Any activity involving motion and or height creates the possibility of serious injury, including permanent paralysis and even death from landing or falling on the head or neck.

No amount of preparation can entirely eliminate these risks. MAC Gymnastics makes every effort to keep children safe through the use of proper progressions, safe landing drills and general safety awareness. Injuries do happen in recreational classes, but are rare.

Why should my kid take gymnastics?

The best and most important reason that a child should take gymnastics is to have fun.

There is nothing like the thrill of learning to use your body in new and interesting ways.

Gymnastics also teaches kids how to listen and follow directions. They learn how to overcome difficulties through hard work and dedication.

Gymnastics also helps with strength, flexibility and overall kinesthetic awareness.

SWIM

Masters of the Pool MAC swimmers dominate at state championships

E

ach spring, a small group of MAC masters swimmers competes with a shared, mighty purpose: winning at the Oregon Masters Swimming Association Championships.

This year, the stakes were particularly high, with a seventh consecutive championship title on the line. Swimmers added an extra practice to their weekly schedule, sometimes even on a Sunday. They started lifting weights — and tried not to overdo it.

And new members were recruited — from every-once-in-a-while swimmers to water polo players (who will admit they only swim because they have to).

The competitors who banded together on an April weekend in Corvallis, ranged in age from 24 to 82. Despite 25 other Oregon teams chasing the same banner, the MAC team scored 765 points to clinch victory by more than 300 points in the mediumsized category.

And while no one can take away a championship, or diminish the drama of the numerous head-to-head races and personalbest performances, a rarely-seen technical difficulty did put a bit of a damper on the celebration. The positioning of the bulkhead resulted in the competition pool being

62 | The Wınged M |

1-2 millimeters (the width of a credit card!) shy of regulation length. Which means none of the state and regional record-breaking times count, officially.

But what did count was the camaraderie, effort and raw guts shown by every swimmer. There were the jaw-dropping times of Kurt Grote’s 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke races, Mitchell Wise’s dominance in the 200 freestyle, and Max Bley-Male’s clutch 100 backstroke win. And there were also personal bests such as Scot Sullivan’s and Alyson O’Brien’s overall wins in the 1,000 freestyle, and Jim Bigler’s continuous takedown of MAC freestyle records in the 80-84 age group.

The number of first-place finishes across age groups was equally impressive: Jill Marie Asch, Scot Sullivan, Max Bley-Male and Margaret Toppel with six wins; Alexis Higlett with five; Brent Washburne, George Dingeldein and Hailey Bambusch with four; and Jessica Stacy with three.

Margaret Toppel swam so fast that she’d have multiple state and zone records to her name — if only the pool had been the right length. Regardless, she went on to compete at the U.S. Masters Nationals Championships in Indianapolis in May. An

(l. to r.) Lex Higlett, Alyson O’Brien alumnus of Indiana University and former Indiana collegiate swimmer and Puerto Rico Olympian, Toppel had an incredibly successful homecoming, winning four national championships in the 100 and 50 backstroke, 50 fly and 50 free!

Summer takes MAC swimmers to openwater swims across the Willamette and at Lake Tahoe and the Maui Channel. Plus, long course meters meets are fast approaching, so members can expect to see master swimmers training in the subbasement for their next record-breaking season.

A Commitement to Exellence Swim team benefits extend far beyond the pool lanes

I

n today’s fast-paced, instant gratification world, swimming can provide young people an oasis of structure, repetition and certainty that can greatly ease anxiety, hyperactivity and sensory overload.

The water provides an opportunity for kids to experience a different world, one of fluidity, calmness and buoyancy. Given all that, it would be hard to dispute the benefits of swimming, but what about being part of a swim team?

While swimming is largely an individual endeavor, there is still a huge team aspect when part of MAC’s squad. “I love the swim team,” says team member Diego Hodge. “I’ve met all these amazing people and shared great experiences with them.

My swim coach has taught me so many things, and I am so thankful.”

Still on the fence? Swim team parent Alicia Ahn adds encouragement: “Just do it! There is a great, stepwise program for advancement. My kids have matured so much especially from the swim meet experience and the general responsibilities of being on the team.”

MAC’s professionally coached and nationally respected program not only develops Olympic-caliber swimmers, it also encourages young people to develop the character and self-discipline necessary to succeed outside the pool.

Benefits of Swimming • Safety The CDC still lists drowning as a leading cause of injury and death for children. Being part of the swim team can give children the confidence they need to stay safe in and around the water.

• Health Swimming is a great all-body workout, using every major muscle group

(l. to r.): Samantha O’Brien, Samantha Borus and Ellis Plowman in coordinated, aerobic activity. It can increase overall strength, muscle mass and flexibility. Swimmers increase coordination, postural strength, and gain a better awareness of body mechanics as they learn to dive, perform flip turns and progress through the intricacies of each stroke.

• Psychological Swimming creates almost instant mood changes that continue throughout the workout and beyond.

MAC Junior Swim Team Tryouts Who: Athletes ages 7 to 12 When: September 11 and 12, drop-in beginning at 5 p.m.

Where: 50-meter Pool. There’s no cost to try out; swimmers only need to attend one of the two days.

64 | The Wınged M |

JULY/AUGUST 2018

Studies have shown that those who swim regularly experience less tension, depression and anger after a session in the pool.

Benefits of Team Sports • Builds confidence When participating in a sport, children have the opportunity to show their skills, gain greater self-awareness, and enjoy an activity that they love.

• Provides consistent exercise A team sport commits a child to regular exercise, which helps boost immunity and contributes to overall physical health.

• Develops relationships Children build friendships with peers and coaches, which is a great way to expand social skills and understand expectations.

• Teaches respect In team sports, children learn to respect other authoritative figures, such as coaches and officials, as well as their peers.

ATHLETICS AQUATICS

Water Fitness Open House Noon-2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, Sun Deck Pool Join the Water Fitness department for its second annual open house, featuring snacks, beverages and drawings for prizes! The event is a great opportunity to meet MAC’s fantastic team of aquatics instructors and hear the latest news about the program. Watch short demonstrations of all offered classes from the pool deck, or join in the water.

Water fitness enhances muscular strength and endurance, while increasing lean body mass. Many avid exercisers find that landbased exercise leaves them with sore joints.

Workouts in the water — with resistance 12 times greater than air — provide intensity without adding compressive forces to joints.

This reduced stress makes aqua aerobics especially attractive to those who suffer from joint-related pain or are recovering from a joint injury or replacement surgery.

High-Intensity Training “I don’t have the time” is one of the most common excuses given for not exercising, or being inconsistent with workouts. There’s a solution: HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). HIIT’s ability to burn fat while preserving muscle is well-documented. But the benefits of short bursts of intense exercise, followed by brief rest periods, don’t end there.

Efficient A 15- to 30-minute HIIT session is ample time to work up a sweat and push a body into the fat-burning zone. The brevity of HIIT also means athletes can squeeze in a quick workout during their lunch breaks.

Burns fat in record time HIIT doesn’t just increase calorie burn, it also increases fat burn. HIIT has been found to burn twice as much fat as other forms of exercise involving the same caloric expenditure. Every time one completes a HIIT

JULY/AUGUST 2018

session, they’re increasing their body’s efficiency at burning fat and elevating their metabolism for up to 24 hours.

Brain power Several studies also have shown that HIIT is good for the mind. After performing HIIT, cognitive function is noticeably sharper. It is believed that’s due to the increased brainderived neurotrophic factor such intense exercise prompts.

Overall health Research has revealed that HIIT its effective at lowering glucose levels in people with diabetes. It also reduces the risk of blood clots by improving blood vessels’ ability to expand.

HIIT is fun HIIT drills are short and keep people on their toes. HIIT is a great stress reliever that will keep bodies guessing and ward off boredom. Whether athletes are looking to freshen up their training, burn fat or simply work out with friends, try HIIT. While HIIT is extremely effective, it can place a tremendous amount of stress on the body. Therefore, it should only be performed two to three times a week with at least 48 hours between exercise sessions to allow a full Continued on page 68

HANDBALL

An Easy Game to Learn, a Hard One to Master Handball’s competitive season concluded in May with the 44th edition of the MACOlympic Club exchange. Thirteen players made the trip from the Bay Area to compete in very evenly matched singles and doubles games. Although visiting handballers won 13 of 18 matches, 13 of the games were decided by tie breakers!

The next season of MAC Handball ramps up quickly, beginning with the annual Kickoff awards banquet in mid-September. MAC intramurals start the following week, and the second annual Portland Classic is held in October. Keep an eye out for posters and emails about registration and event schedules.

Join the Community There’s not much needed to play handball at MAC, just court gear (shirt, shorts, shoes), eye guards and gloves. Balls can be acquired from coaches and veteran players, or purchased at the Mporium.

What characteristics do competitive handball players share? Good sportsmanship: Handball requires players to call out rules violations (like in golf) that penalize themselves. Self-reliance: With the exception of doubles, handball is largely a one-on-one exercise. Desire for a demanding workout: The President’s Council on Physical Fitness ranked handball as one of the best ways to build cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and balance.

MAC’s cadre of outstanding coaches are happy to help beginners move quickly along their road to mastery.

RACQUETBALL

Back to the Courts!

Summer pool play events and challenge ladders are in full force! There’s a poster at Handball/Racquetball Courts 7-10 with the contact information of member coaches who can help with event sign ups. Any of them can also provide a tutorial on the rules or a refresher on the fundamentals of the game.

The deadline to sign up for fall intramurals is Labor Day weekend. The season includes nine matches against competitors at each player’s skill level (from beginner to open).

Games are played on Thursdays. Snacks, beverages and a fun, social atmosphere are provided.

The annual Racquetball Kick-off Tournament is Thursday, Sept. 6. For those who don’t do much playing during the summer, this is a great opportunity to knock the dust off before the fall intramural season!

SYNCHRO

MAC West Pool Buzzes With Synchro The West Pool was energized in mid-April as the club hosted the Oregon Association of Synchronized Swimming 2018 Classic Invitational Meet. Nearly 200 talented

JULY/AUGUST 2018

young athletes — representing 14 teams from Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Colorado — converged at MAC to execute their strength and endurance skills during the three-day event.

MAC Synchro team members garnered outstanding results in all categories. Visiting team members and their coaches expressed how much they enjoyed the meet and appreciated the club’s hospitality.

MAC Synchro Competes in Regional and National Championships After successfully qualifying at the Western Zone Synchro Championships, the MAC Synchro 13-15 age-group team advanced to compete at the U.S. National Championships in Lewisville, Texas, in April.

The team (Hailey Dunst, Grace Huffman, Presley Girard, Cambell McMillan, Emma Miller, Ella Rau and Zoe Tomlinson) prepared by adding hours and days to their regular practice schedule and training multiple days over spring break. Their hard work paid off with a 10th-place ranking. “It was amazing to compete at a national level with the best synchro teams in the country,” said Huffman.

Two of the teams’ duet routines also competed Continued on page 70

ATHLETICS Synchro Continued from page 68 at the national event, securing 17th and 29th place in the preliminary swim, out of 39 duets.

In May, swimmers competed at the Junior Regional Championships in Tacoma, Washington, with multiple solo, duet and team athletes qualifying for the Junior Olympics Championships, held this summer in Ohio.

TRI RUN

Stories to Inspire Your Inner Athlete MAC Tri-Run athletes overcame weather and injuries to shine this spring.

Shawn Fitzgerald completed his fourth Boston Marathon in four years! With rain, temperatures from the upper 30s to the mid40s, and reports of winds up to 25 miles an hour, the weather for the April 2018 race may have been the worst in 30 years. “I knew from the outset that I would need to keep moving and keep my body heat up, or I’d be in trouble due to the conditions,” said Fitzgerald.

“Fortunately, living in the Northwest we get to train in similar conditions during the winter and spring, so you have a good idea how to dress and mentally prepare for the elements thrown at you throughout the race.”

Despite the brutal conditions, Fitzgerald finished with a time of 3:44.54 and an 8:30-permile average pace.

Back on the West Coast, MAC fielded a team for the new Hood to Coast Pacific City in May. The race began with a 2:30 a.m. departure for the starting line, and ended mid-afternoon, following 77 miles of solid team bonding. Member Erica Chiotti, coming off of a personal record at the Eugene Half Marathon the week prior, started the team off with a downhill session worthy of the Hood to Coast! Liz Galbreath not only brought a special grit, and the most smiles per mile, but was also the most consistent runner of the group, keeping a nearly identical pace during both of her relay legs. David Harding, fresh off a leg injury, took on the now-infamous 11th leg. Despite a fall during an off-road 9-mile slugfest over and back 1,200 feet of rocks and roots, he helped carry the team to 17th out of 56 teams in their division. Joining MAC members to round out the running team were Greg Stone, Ragan Chiotti and Mike Hansen. Ryan Chiotti took the easy route, but showcased wheelman skills worthy of the race as the team’s driver.

Another amazing accomplishment happened in May — at Ironman Santa Rosa. Amy Henderson completed the 140.6 mile race, finishing first in her age group and fourth

70 | The Wınged M |

overall in the women’s race. She now prepares to compete in the world championship in Kona, Hawaii, this October.

Summer Swims Those thinking more about swimming than running or riding this summer can sign up or volunteer for the XTERRA swim series at Henry Hagg lake. The 800 meter and a 1,600 meter ‘mock’ races start at 6 p.m.

VOLLEYBALL

A Season of Success The highly successful 2018 volleyball season included multiple Columbia Empire Volleyball Association Power League wins; an end-ofseason sweep at the NWJRS Mother’s Day Challenge, with 12-1 Black, 13-1 Black and 14-1 Black teams all winning their divisions; and two teams qualifying for the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships.

For the 2019 season, MAC will field 10 teams — competing in the U12, U14, U16 and U18 age groups — with opportunities for all skill levels. Keep an eye out for information about fall pre-season clinics on the volleyball bulletin boards in the basement level near the Women’s Locker Room and in the West Gym. WM

NYCDA was followed by a performance from Beauty and the Beast for the MAC Sing-Along in February. Zintek and Tucker choreographed a five-minute mini-production complete with costumes and props.

Spring The JUMP dance extravaganza is a massive dance competition held at the Oregon Convention Center in early March. It’s another marathon of workshops and performances that start at 7:30 a.m. and run deep into the night. This year, JUMP demonstrated that the awards won at NYCDA weren’t a fluke. The Junior Company swept the competition in the Mini category. Not only did their piece Seize the Day receive the second overall high score in their division and first place overall for musical theater, they also received a Best of JUMP Award — given to only 12 dance pieces out of more than 500.

Haley Kekow and Lilly Mildenberger also won national scholarships to compete in the VIP Dancer title competition at the

Dance Awards Nationals. Vivian Urness won a ballet scholarship, and Kate Franzen, Josie Grimmer, Max Grimmer and Marissa Talcott won contemporary/lyrical/jazz scholarships to summer study programs in California.

March ended with the MAC MiniRecital, for recreational dancers ages 3 to 6, where the main Company, Junior Company, and Crew each performed a piece from their competitions.

In April, MAC Company joined the Northwest Dance Theatre’s spring gala, which featured innovative works by several seasoned choreographers and showcased the finesse, talent and versatility of NWDT and MAC dancers.

Finale The dance year rounded into the final stretch with the Radix Regional competition ­— another mega weekend of workshops and competition, attended by select Company members. The highlight of the year was the MAC Dance Annual Recital, held at PSU’s Lincoln Hall in May. The competitive dancers’ last local performance of the season was at MAC’s Street Fair in June.

The MAC Company program has a full slate of summer offerings for all ages and skill levels. Come on out and dance!

ATHLETICS

Fit Zone Continued from page 52 Cones can be laid out in different orders and configurations, and the sequence of colors can be altered for each racer, resulting in a seemingly limitless combination of events capable of compelling even the most easily bored.

As we zoom from cone to cone, Matt stands at the finish line, cheering us on and beaming from ear to ear. While Matt isn’t always the man in the Fit Zone, all of the fitness folks who hold it down are equally enthusiastic and committed to making sure kids — or frolicking fogeys such as ourselves — have a blast while burning calories. The Zone is often in the capable hands of Catt, an assistant pre-competition swim coach known for filling the room’s whiteboard with workouts capable of keeping kids busier than At Your Service on camp registration day.

Rock ’Em Clock ’Em Robot As promised, the Nexersys Trainer, is Allyson’s moment of redemption. Of course, anyone who’s taken a boxing class with me won’t be surprised to learn that I’m getting out-punched like Mike Tyson versus Lennox Lewis. Okay, so it was a little closer than that, and the result was smiles and good cheer rather than face tattoos and an ill-advised cameo in The Hangover.

Even when just getting beat by the mean machine that is the Nexersys, would-be boxers will have a blast. The machine features seven pads configured around what looks like a giant iPad, the sum total resembling General Grievous from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, but with more arms.

Not only can you punch it as hard as you can, but you can kick it, too, or at least try to. Watching Allyson and I fling knee after ineffectual knee at its waist-level pads could have been glorious YouTube blackmail fodder for our photographer, Joseph, but fortunately he’s nicer than I am. In addition to putting pugilists through a number of boxing and MMA-style workouts, it also can help you hone your abs to rock-hard perfection, or train athletes in any number of specific techniques.

Holler Hoops and More While those three workouts were the most memorable of our journey through the Fit Zone, they’re truly just the tip of the iceberg. There are interlocking hoops that we built into obstacle courses that destroyed our sides with laughter at how spastic we looked hopping through and over them. There are hurdles and a system of balancing beams that put our equilibrium to the test, and video-game-enhanced exercise bikes that put us in the paths of killer whales. And there are hand weights and bars to hang from and ways to play hopscotch I’d never imagined.

Lest I ruin all the surprises for you, stop by the Fit Zone the next time you’re near the West Gym, and bring along your daughter or son so it looks like you have a reason to be there. If they’re not intrigued by the dazzling array of awesome workout options, I’ll be as surprised as Allyson was when I managed to squeak out a win in the shuttle run.

If you’re very lucky, Catt or Matt might just let you play along.

From the Archives

Tai chi class at MAC, late 1980s

From Disco Dancing to Microwave Mastery W

hile MAC has scheduled new fall athletic classes since its early years, the club began to offer other adult back-toschool learning sessions in the 1950s. In the ’50s and ’60s the club hosted classes such as craft workshops in woodworking and leather making and, for women, charm and posture sessions. In the 1970s and ’80s, fall class offerings expanded to include tai chi, speed reading, basketry, sailing, calligraphy, computer BASIC and auto maintenance and repair, to name just a few.

Some of these past classes seem unlikely to reappear in a MAC class guide. A 1978 fall class in microwave cooking included a session to “prepare a complete dinner to be served buffet style”

82 | The Wınged M |

and another emphasized “the preparation of quick entertainment foods.” In 1979, a disco dancing course promised to “teach participants “the ‘Hawaiian Hustle’ and many more of the newest disco treats” from instructors recently returned from the dance havens of New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

But you could probably put the information from the 1981 croissant baking workshop to good use today. Trends and technology change, but some time-honored recipes don’t need an update. ­—Luke Sprunger, club archivist

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.

Join us on September 12 for a night unlike any other.

Visit ProvidenceFoundations.org/b&wball for tickets.

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!
