or me, a teacher at heart, June marks the beginning of summer. We say goodbye to school and look forward to summer adventures.

I fondly remember summers of MAC swim lessons and camps for my kids Holly Lekas and grandchildren.

PRESIDENT This year, MAC staff has created an enhanced, amazing array of opportunities for families. The new menu of camps and classes provides opportunities to grow, learn and meet new friends. Thank you, MAC staff. Also, MAC’s Sunset Bistro opens with the addition of a 3 to 6 p.m. Happy Hour! On top of that, our committees have been busy planning special events. Get ready for a first-class summer at MAC.

Summer Rides At a recent committee meeting, a member shared a wonderful opportunity to spin into summer with events our Cycling Committee has planned. Weekly Thursday-Night Rides already have started. They are a chance to meet fellow MAC cyclists and explore Portland’s bike paths, waterfront trails and neighborhood greenway streets. These moderately paced rides focus as much on the scenery and fun as the mileage. These are “no-drop rides,” which means that nobody is left behind. Riders need an operational bike, helmet, headlight, tail light and general urban bike-riding skills. The group leaves the MAC Turnaround at 6 p.m. all summer long. Join in the fun!

The Cycling Committee also partners with the MAC Green Team to begin a Cycling Commuter Rewards and Recognition program. Members and staff who track their bicycle commutes to MAC between July 1 and Oct. 31 earn entries into a prize drawing.

Another event that riders should consider is the July 28 Eola Hills Wine Ride, which includes food, celebration and prizes. Our Cycling Committee, like all MAC committees, creates fun adventures for members. Thank you for great events and reflecting the MAC committee spirit!

Member Services Did you know that At Your Service (AYS) has charging stations? I didn’t. Across from AYS on the wall are cubbies equipped with

charging plugs. Create your own unique combination and leave your phone secure while enjoying MAC. This complimentary service is one of many reasons we love our At Your Service staff. Please stop by and thank them for their job supporting members.

As I mentioned last month, the strategic plan work is moving forward. The Ad Hoc Facility Access Committee (Facilities 2a) is working to develop short-term transportation strategies to address member access challenges. Of course, parking is key in that work. The Ad Hoc Membership Categories and 2020 Lottery Committee (Membership 2b) has begun reviewing existing membership procedures, tiers and fees. Thanks to the members who have volunteered to undertake our strategic plan work and staff who support it.

Athletics and More Each year, for almost five decades, we’ve celebrated a new group of MAC Scholar Athletes. This year, 29 high school sophomores become official MAC members and are awarded a scholarship from the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Read about them on page 52, and watch for new opportunities for honorees as we race towards the program’s 50th anniversary on May 30, 2020. Thank you to MAF’s leadership!

As president, I have the honor of being invited to many meetings and events. As a result, my exercise schedule has taken a back seat. Yes, I manage to make most tennis clinics with Paul and Marco, but my availability to play matches or attend open play has diminished. Recently, I spent all morning playing tennis and reconnecting with friends. I walked off the court tired, but revived and rejuvenated. If you are anything like me and have let your calendar keep you from exercising, commit to a workout, a class, or an open play, and mark your calendar. You’ll be glad you did!

In late April, I attended Volleyball Regionals at the Expo Center to watch my granddaughter’s MAC Black team compete. The event began with a young woman in a MAC uniform singing the National Anthem. The vast area became silent as her voice filled the air and touched hearts. She reminded me of the unlimited potential of our young MAC members. A big thank you to Chloe Heller, who represented MAC that early Saturday morning. You made my day!

Our strong committee system provides a myriad of activities enriching our MAC community. Let this be your best summer yet!

une brings multiple reasons to celebrate. It’s National Seafood Month, National Iced Tea Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, and National Steakhouse Month. Add to that, the second week Cameron in June is Negroni McMurry Week, and June 19 is FOOD & BEVERAGE National Dry Martini DIRECTOR Day. Luckily, June 21 brings the beginning of summer and also International Yoga Day, so we can work off some of the month’s indulgences. MAC also has many great camps, classes and social opportunities in June, so you can create your own special days with family and friends.

Stadium Terrace Timbers and Thorns begin their home seasons in the newly renovated Providence Park with 29 matches over more than four months.

Tickets for the MAC Stadium Terrace are available on a first-come, first-served basis one month in advance of the match. A maximum of four tickets per family account can be purchased (exceptions are made for families larger than four members). For more information, contact At Your Service, AtYourService@themac.com or 503-517-7235.

Giving Back The MAC community is one that all members should be proud to be part of. In May and June alone, members give back to those in need with events like the Bud Lewis Blood Drive, All-Committee Dinner food bank drive, and Bingo with Poison Waters supporting Camp KC — a lakeside summer camp for children affected by HIV/AIDS. The MAC Street Fair is June 19 in the Turnaround. Join fellow members and support local charities such as Friends of the Library, Dollar for Portland, MAF, Open School, and Piles of Puppies, which brings joy to chronically and terminally ill children and their families by surrounding them with a pile of adorable puppies.

Someone once said it takes a village, and the MAC lives up to that and more.

Summer Dining June also marks the fifth season of the Sunset Bistro and Splash. The official opening for both outdoor dining areas is Saturday,

June 8, weather permitting. Remember that if you are leaving any of the club’s restaurants with a beverage, please ask a staff member to pour your beverage into a plastic or paper cup. Beverages with alcohol, beer or wine will always be poured into a plastic see-through cup to assure we are monitoring adult beverages properly. Glass does not belong poolside, in athletic areas or locker rooms. The club has many ballerinas, gymnasts and a multitude of swimmers of all ages who could be badly hurt by broken glass. Let’s make sure that the club is safe for all our athletes, participants and spectators.

My favorite part of late spring and early summer is the fresh ingredients that become available. Chef Boulot and his team have been partnering with local farmers, fishermen and ranchers for years. The culinary team works hard to source the freshest ingredients that are responsibly and sustainably grown. Produce that’s been allowed to ripen fully in the sun tastes amazing.

Those summer heirloom tomatoes make all other tomatoes seem inferior. MAC’s chefs also have established strong relationships with Oregon’s finest foragers, providing our culinary team with exceptional ingredients from the local area, including wild mushrooms and mountain-grown huckleberries.

Father’s Day Join us Saturday, June 1, as Executive Sous Chef Phil Oswalt features a variety of dishes in 1891 and we showcase exclusive scotch, bourbons and ryes as part of Brown Bottle Society.

The 1891 Brown Bottle Society features more than 150 premium bourbons, ryes and scotches. Pair any one of them with a handselected, dry-aged steak from Carlton Farms for an exceptional early Father’s Day treat.

We are continually working to improve members’ dining experience. As we train and work with our management team and staff, we look for ways to make members feel welcome and receive prompt service. We are only successful when we work as a team. Please let me know how we are doing and if you see areas for improvement. I can be reached at 503-517-6609 or by email, CMcmurry@themac.com.

FACES IN THE CLUB Answer: He’s competed on Teen Jeopardy, started the nonprofit Project 32 to tackle youth dental disease around the world, and can play the drum part to Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine. Question: Who is Avi Gupta? Phrase that response in the form of a question or not; the MAC member and Catlin Gabel senior is the right answer to a variety of questions. Who has traveled to Africa to promote cross-cultural understanding through chess? Who represented Oregon at this year’s Intel Science Fair? Who emceed the 2018 Youth International Silent Film Festival. All Avi Gupta.

“Balancing all these activities is one of the best parts of being in high school,” Gupta says, explaining that young people have time to pursue their dreams that most adults lack. “I hope that youth members don’t feel limited in what they can do. My advice is to find a problem in the world that you want to solve, and then use what you’re learning and the time that you have to address it.” In the fall, Gupta continues his own education at Columbia University with the help of the prestigious Egleston Scholars Program. To learn more about all his activities, visit his website, avigupta.us, and tune in to support him on Teen Jeopardy the week of June 17!

At Your Service Specialist Jaime Adams seems to have a connection to houses.

Before moving to MAC, she worked in sales and customer service roles for Airbnb, and she spent two years as an employee of Habitat for Humanity in Sheridan, Wyoming, and New Orleans, Louisiana. She continues to volunteer for them regularly, and says she is “always moved by the work they do.” Now, she’s putting her penchant for caring and customer service to good use makin members feel at home. “My favorite part of this job is interacting with and building relationships with people from various backgrounds,” she says. An Anthony Bourdain fan, Adams also hopes to continue exploring the world and meeting new people, especially in Spain. “I haven’t been yet, but would love to visit Valencia because it is known for the arts and sciences, and is also on the coast.”

Catch Senior Manager on Duty Jason VanZwol on the right day, and he might say “yes” to anything. He’s a devotee of Yes Theory, an organization that creates content delivering the message that life can be fulfilling as long as people seek discomfort. “I consider myself pretty active and am always trying to challenge myself,” he says. That has taken the form of activities as varied as building a recording studio in his garage and traveling to cities up and down the West Coast to bike their perimeters. “I like activities that keep me outdoors. I recently took up running and participated in my first 5k, the Shamrock Run, and am ready to move on to a 10k the first chance I get.” Fortunately, he also takes great pride in helping members and coworkers alike avoid their own challenges when working out or relaxing at the club.

As manager of the popular Sports Pub restaurant, Dana Wold might not always have time get deep while working. When she does, she has quite the story to tell. Adopted as a baby, she only recently met her birth mother, and has nothing but positive things to say about both her biological mom and adoptive family. “Growing up in my home, adoption was a beautiful gift, something special to be cherished,” she says. Wold was taught that her biological mom wanted what was best for her, and acted accordingly. “After re-reading, as an adult, the letter she wrote as a 15 year old on the day she gave me up, I could feel her guilt and pain. I wanted to tell her immediately that I have nothing but love and respect for her and the decision that she made,” Wold says. “My perspective is that everything comes full circle. She saved me by letting me go and allowing me to have a beautiful childhood, and I saved her by finding her all these years later and releasing her of all this guilt, selfhate and pain that she has carried around with her since the day I was born.”

CLUB NEWS MAC Choirs Promote Young Musicianship

M ADAM WICKHAM

usic never gets old. While many of MAC’s adult choir members have been singing for decades, they continue to be excited by new music and quality musicianship. Collaboration with talented young vocalists was a highlight of the Balladeers

and MelloMacs performances at Carnegie Hall in 2018, and again during the annual spring concerts at MAC. (See concert photos on page 65.)

This year’s MelloMacs Spring Sing-Along showcased well-known musical artists Cal Scott (The Trail Band) and Mark Powers (Floater), as well as award-winning songwriter, and the choir’s regular accompanist, Kit Taylor.

Taylor was a double winner at the 2019 Great American Song Contest. He took first place in the Instrumental category for Winter in the Village, and Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting in the Pop category for Persephone. In the contest’s 20-year history, a songwriter never placed so highly in two separate categories. His recordings are playing on national radio and are available on streaming services.

For more information on MAC’s adult choirs and musical opportunities, contact Amber Schlossmacher at ASchlossmacher@ themac.com.

Parking and Transportation Updates

T

he Butler Block at SW 18th Avenue and SW Salmon Street is slated for redevelopment. The surface parking lot will close permanently in mid July. Construction begins this summer on a 182-unit apartment building that will include affordable housing units and ground-floor retail. It is expected to open in 2021.

The Kings Hill MAX station across from the Butler Block faces potential changes. TriMet will decide later this month whether to close the station.

Comment via hello@trimet.org.

MAC recently hired Kittelson & Associates to develop a transportation management plan to identify options to reduce the demand for parking facilities while encouraging alternative ways to access MAC by members, guests and employees. Updates will be provided as options are identified.

In Memoriam Mary Josephine King Aug. 29, 1936-March 30, 2019 Mary Jo (Rieber) King, 82, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Lake Oswego on March 30.

Mary Jo was born in Tomah, Wisconsin, and raised in Portland, where she attended Immaculata High School. Following her graduation, she moved to San Francisco and worked for Folger’s Coffee Company and enrolled in classes at the University of San Francisco. There she met her future husband, Mike King, whom she married in 1957. February 2019 marked their 62nd wedding anniversary.

Mary Jo enjoyed her life as a wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker. She and Mike selflessly and with unconditional love raised their seven children and participated lovingly in the lives of their 13 grandchildren.

She maintained their home in Laurelhurst and prepared countless meals for family and friends. Mary Jo played tennis on the Women’s MAC and Portland City League teams. She was a member of Columbia Edgewater Country Club, golfing there and with family at Black Butte Ranch. She was an avid bridge player, life-long reader, and competitive Scrabble player. Mary Jo and Mike traveled together and with friends throughout the world.

She volunteered at All Saints Grade School, where her children attended school.

She was a lifetime member of the Seminary Tea Committee and served as Tea Chair in 1989. Mary Jo joined the Board of The Dougy Center following the death of her son David in 1998. She volunteered at the Assistance League of Portland and was a generous donor to Catholic education and to Catholic Charities.

She also was devoted to her mother Kathryn. She was very proud of Kathryn’s Irish family. Her grandfather, John Kelly, and her godfather, Neil Kelly, had strong roots in the Portland Catholic community.

She was grateful for the love and support of the extended Kelly family throughout her life.

Mary Jo is survived by her six children, Mary Beth Powell, Mike King (Diane), Matt King (Karen), Jim King, Meg Conant (Clarke), John King (Lisa); and grandchildren, Ryan King (Lauren), Matthew King, Meghan King, Tanner King, Elliot King, Peter King, Stephanie King, Elizabeth Conant, John Conant, Lauren King, Claire Powell, Peter Conant, and Jason King. She was predeceased by her son, David King, her mother, Kathryn (Kelly) Rieber, her sister, Sheila Porter, and her brothers, Greg Rieber and Jerry Rieber.

Betty Blomquist Thompson, M.D. June 23, 1934-April 2, 2019 Dr. Betty Blomquist Thompson was diagnosed with stage-four kidney cancer in January 2019 and succumbed to complications of treatment for the tumor. She died at home in hospice care surrounded by her family.

Dr. Betty was born in Portland to Carroll and Helen Blomquist. She attended Multnomah Grade School, Lincoln High School and Lewis & Clark College. In 1955, she entered the University of Oregon Medical School. She was one of only four women in the class. There she met her future husband, John W. Thompson. They were married July 19, 1958. They both graduated from medical school in 1959. They both interned at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland.

Dr. John then entered the U.S. Navy. Dr. Betty joined him at his first duty station, the USMC Supply Depot in Barstow, California.

In 1961, they moved to Los Angeles because Dr. Betty had been accepted into the Anesthesiology Residency training program at UCLA Medical School. She was the only woman in a group of about 45 resident physicians under the umbrella of the Dept. of Surgery at UCLA. She finished her residency and Dr. John finished his tour in the Navy in June 1963.

They returned to Portland and Dr. Betty started her career on the anesthesiology faculty at the University of Oregon Medical

School, which later became OHSU. She was one of only about six women on the entire medical school faculty. She spent her entire career at OHSU, retiring in 1991 after 27 years. In 1998, she and Dr. John made the first of five trips to a mission hospital, Kijabe Medical Center, in Kenya.

In 2008, she and John established the Betty B. Thompson, M.D. Endowment for International Education within the OHSU Foundation. Her basis for starting the endowment was based on a verse in the Gospel of Matthew, 25:40, where Jesus said, “if you have done it to the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me.” She felt that she was following that scripture verse all through her career. Proceeds from the endowment go to pay for medical students and anesthesiology residents on foreign medical service trips to underserved countries.

Throughout her career, she was active in church choirs, singing often and blessing the congregation with her lovely soprano voice.

In December 2018, she sang in the Christmas Choir at Community of Faith, West Linn, sitting in a chair, wearing her back brace. She spent 25 years as financial recording secretary, with her faithful friend Kathy Pohlen, at both Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Lake Oswego and later at the Community of Faith Lutheran Church in West Linn. She was a very caring and giving person and will be sorely missed by family, friends and colleagues. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at OHSU for the excellent care they gave her and to the Providence Hospice Care team for their fine care.

Betty was married to Dr. John for more than 60 years. She gave birth to a daughter, Kathleen, in December of 1964. She went back to her practice three weeks later because there was no maternity leave in those days. Scott was born in March of 1967, and again she was back in the operating room in three weeks.

Memorial gifts may be made to the Betty B. Thompson, M.D. Endowment for International Education in the OHSU Foundation.

Save Our Station For months, MAC has worked with our neighbors and partners to convince TriMet to keep the Kings Hill MAX station open. After hundreds of emails and letters and dozens of supporters testifying at TriMet board meetings, it all comes down to a decision expected by the end of the month.

There’s still time to weigh in at hello@trimet.org.

Sunset Bistro just keeps getting better, one plate at a time

By Jake Ten Pas

F

ive years ago, MAC’s Food & Beverage team reinvented the meal, at least on a seasonal basis. With a little creative decorating and a passion for eating fresh food in the fresh air, they spawned not one, but two new restaurants where none had stood before.

Splash and the Sunset Bistro were brought to life in a MacGyver-esque feat of culinary genesis.

A lot has changed in the intervening years, but not that core commitment to helping members dine al fresco in one of the best outdoor spots in the city.

As MAC’s community has embraced its place in the sun, the club’s chefs and mixologists have responded by basking in the possibilities of summer fruits and vegetables, locally sourced meats and cheeses, and refreshing cocktails.

They’ve tweaked the Bistro’s hours and offerings to best reflect member activity and preferences, resulting in another auspicious assortment of plates waiting to be shared during a new happy hour.

“We’re always trying to adapt to the scene,” says bartender Roni Pervizi. “By subtracting items that are extraneous and focusing on what’s working, each year we get a little closer to that sweet spot.”

Sample, for example, his Bulleit Dodger, a subtle twist on the classic Manhattan. Taking advantage of Bulleit’s new 12-year-aged rye, augmenting it with Luxardo cherry liqueur and Scrappy’s chocolate bitters, and then cutting the traditional vermouth with Cynar, he’s stirred something fresh yet familiar for member palates. There’s even a literal cherry on top in the form of a sea salt-capped amarena.

Beer drinkers can rejoice at the unveiling of a new IPA made in partnership with neighbors Kells just down the street at their NW 21st brewery. MAC Hazy dials back the bitter in favor of floral notes, offering a lighter touch that is perfect to chase a steak or Carlton Farms Kalua Pork.

Continued from page 17 Similarly, while evergreen edibles such as the Thai Chicken Tacos, Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Poke, Elote Sweet Yellow Corn, and Blackberry Salad are back again, chefs Philippe Boulot, Phil Oswalt and Deanna Bascom have infused the menu with new flavor, texture and color. Many of the dishes are augmented by a combination of creamy cucumber salad and fresh corn grits, and the Confit Alaskan Halibut gets a Brazilian twist from house-made chimichurri.

Oswalt seems particularly smitten with the Roasted Beef Coulotte, a smoky, buttery, salty and sweet take on traditional roast beef. “There’s a real nice fat cap on there that melts when we roast it, essentially self-basting. The marbling throughout is decadent, and the result pretty much perfect,” he says.

In addition to creamy, cooling dessert staples such as the Summer Berry Trifle, Oswalt is happy to welcome Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches to the Bistro menu.

Choose from an assortment of flavors, or order like a pro and get a plate with all of them and sample what happens when toptier ice cream meets real cookies.

This summer also will see the return of the club’s popular Paella Nights and Grill Nights, alternating every two weeks on Wednesdays. Paella Night features a Valencian variation on the Spanish staple, including Spanish chorizo, saffron rice and a variety of fresh seafood on June 12, July 10 and Aug. 7. Grill Nights serve up Carlton Farms steaks and Wild Sockeye Salmon on June 26, July 31 and Aug. 21.

Every night features MAC’s marvelous Happy Hour, during which all Sunset Bistro dishes are half off. This window runs from 3-5 p.m. throughout the Bistro, and extends until 6 p.m. in the bar area of the Sun Deck. WM

Kells and MAC Partner for Hazy IPA Lighter, fruitier take on Northwest classic perfect for drinking on the Sun Deck

By Jake Ten Pas

T

here’s no need for MAC to take one of those “What Kind of Beer Are You?” online quizzes. If the club’s past two brewery collaborations are any kind of indicator, MAC is definitely a Hazy IPA. This past fall, Sous Chef Deanna Bascom got together with Salem’s Gilgamesh Brewing to create the No Sleep Till Portland Hazy IPA, and now MAC Bar Supervisor Roni Pervizi has forged an alliance closer to home with Kells Brewery.

The result is a light, cloudy and subtly floral potion known as MAC Hazy IPA. “It’s got a big, beautiful, perfumy nose,” says Garrett McAleese, owner and general manager of Kells, who’s also been a MAC member for more than 20 years. “It’s fruit forward, with an almost punchy aspect. We built it in response to member feedback, and they said, ‘We want an IPA, but a little more drinkable.’”

Last summer, Kells created a Blood Orange Wheat beer that was featured on MAC’s Sun Deck, and while the club collectively kicked back and enjoyed it, Pervizi was busy taking mental notes on what he heard between sips. Members wanted something lighter and capable of cooling on a hot summer evening, yet also robust enough to stand up to the flavorful dishes it’s tasked with washing down.

“That’s where Garrett came in. I’m not a beer expert,” Pervizi says, laughing. He was invited to sample a number of the beers Kells currently serves, as well as some of their more experimental concoctions, and piece something together.

The result of this partnership is a beer designed with MAC in mind.

Unfermentable proteins add texture and body, and a lower alcohol content translates to less calories. “It’s sort of a trick on your palate,” McAleese explains. “The haze is stuff that hasn’t dissolved, and it keeps a little sweetness in there. The fruity quality

McAleese and Pervizi of the hops means that you don’t have to add fruit puree, hence we save on calories.”

He adds that per pint, MAC Hazy has roughly 40-50 fewer calories than a comparable IPA. Additionally, while the average lager has about 1.6 grams of protein per pint, McAleese says that their goal was to double that.

The Cascade hops Pervizi is adding to the wort come from the airier spaces of Kells’ 50-acre farm in Wilsonville. It also produces cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables featured on menu items in the restaurant and bar, which houses the brewery.

“It fits in with the health part of our club,” Pervizi says while getting a workout of his own. Along with McAleese, he’s in the process of brewing the beer in the back room of the brewery on NW 21st Ave. High ceilings counteract the potential for claustrophobia inherent in squeezing so much brewing equipment into a relatively small space.

“We might produce the most beer per square foot in the city,” McAleese chimes in.

Later in the boil, they’ll dump in Mosaic hops to add the floral notes that help to define MAC Hazy. Then, it’s off to the chiller to get the liquid down to the yeastfriendly temperature of 60 degrees. After, the beer rests, while the yeast eats the sulpher and other byproducts, creating its own natural carbonation in the process.

“Yeast is the real workhorse of the brewery,” McAleese says. “Because we harness the natural carbon dioxide produced by the yeast, this beer will have nice, tight little champagne bubbles, and better lacing.”

That last word refers to the residue left behind on the glass as beer enthusiasts consume their beverage.

Members needn’t know any of this to appreciate the end product. All that’s required to enjoy MAC Hazy IPA is a powerful thirst, working taste buds, and a seat on the Sun Deck. WM

M

AC member Brad Cloepfil is an internationally renowned architect who has deep Oregon roots. Growing up in Tigard and later studying architecture at the University of Oregon, Cloepfil started out designing residences and buildings in the Portland area with his firm, Allied Works. One of their first big commissions was the Wieden+Kennedy world headquarters building in Northwest Portland — a structure that helped spark the transformation of the Pearl District during the late 1990s.

He went on to design numerous art museums, cultural institutions and creative buildings across the world including the Seattle Art Museum, Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California, the National Music Centre of Canada in Calgary, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and the U.S. Embassy in Mozambique, to name but a few.

But the opportunity to design an expansion to the historic Providence Park was one Cloepfil and his firm could not pass up.

Having never designed a stadium before, the prospect presented an entirely new challenge and one that first came about over a lunch in the afterglow of the Portland Timbers’ 2015 MLS Cup winning season.

Now, three and half years later, the rebirth of Providence Park is nearing completion with 4,000 additional seats being built on a new eastern side with a soaring vertical stand, new premium areas, spectacular views of the pitch and the city, a sidewalk colonnade and more.

Brian Costello: You’ve designed museums and cultural institutions and educational spaces and residences, but as far as I know you’ve never done a stadium.

Brad Cloepfil: Nope.

Costello: How did you get involved in designing the Providence Park expansion? How did that process come together?

Cloepfil: Right. It’s kind of a good story. I think it could have only happened in Portland, Oregon, too.

So, Timbers won the MLS Cup. I reached out to [club president of business] Mike [Golub] and said, “I’d love to take you to lunch and just bask in the glory.”

I took him to lunch and he told me all the stories, and it was really amazing. There was no agenda, too, to be very clear here. We were talking and I said, “So, what are you going to do now? The league is growing so much, you’re going to have to move to the suburbs and build a 40,000-person stadium to pay for all this.” I was saying it half in jest, but half not.

He said, “Oh no, we would never do that. Never do that. They’d have to stay in the city.” I thought, well, that’s fantastic. That’s great for Portland.

Then I asked something like, “Well, have you guys figured out how many seats you can get in there?” He responded, “Well, we’ve studied various plans on the south side of the stadium, but haven’t found a solution that works right nor yields enough new seats.”

I said, “Well geez, I’d take a look and see how many seats — I’d do that.” His eyebrows kind of go up and he said, “You don’t design stadiums!” I go, “I know. But we’re creative, and we might be able to find something.”

Then I told him, “I would even do it for free.”

Costello: There you go. That’s a good price.

Cloepfil: I just said it because it would be fun, frankly. Seriously.

This is out of being a fan, and from Portland, and everything. You know, my daughters all played soccer. I have a daughter playing professional soccer. [Ed. Note: Georgia Cloepfil has played in Australia, Korea and Lithuania.]

If what you love is always right around the corner, the whole city gets to love you right back. Whether you’re up for a paleontology talk, tea-making workshop, square-dance hoedown, or just grilling your own choice steaks, the options at Terwilliger Plaza are only limited by . . . um, you.

Continued from page 35 We kept talking about it. I told him, “I’m serious, I would do it. It’s something that would be really fun for us. See what we can find.”

When we met with Merritt I told him, “We’re going to create the Globe Theatre of soccer.” And I guaranteed him 10 more wins this season if he built this.

Anyway, a couple of weeks later, I think he’s in New York, he calls me up.

I was in Oregon. He says, “Were you serious?” I said, “Yeah, I was serious.

Serious, serious. Free . . We’ll spend a month or two researching, trying to figure it out, everything.”

Costello: (Laughs) That’s a pretty big guarantee.

I had no idea what we could find or not find. We did tons of research into every soccer stadium we could, from Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to Old Trafford. We got drawings offline, of the rakes, of the seats, of the view corridors. Everything. We did a month of research, and then started proposing stuff. We found that one stadium — it’s for Boca Juniors.

Costello: La Bombonera.

Cloepfil: Yeah. La Bombonera. The stadium is landlocked in a city, like we’re in, and it has a narrow side like we’re in.

And it has this vertical tray of seats that goes straight up.

I thought, “That’s it.” So, we tried it and we ended up getting 4,000 seats, and not losing seats below. Then the theory was that in the first year [the construction] could happen during the season so it didn’t disrupt. Then [club owner and CEO] Merritt [Paulson] and Mike ran the numbers and we thought, this can have a huge impact.

Cloepfil: Yeah. I’m throwing irresponsible statements all over the place. (Laughs) But, you know, I just thought the energy of the stadium when that wall of people on that side that was kind of open, it’ll be amazing.

Costello: You’ve said you’ve been to Timbers games and your daughters had played soccer. Were you a hardcore soccer fan before this? Was it something you kind of had grown into? What’s your relationship with the game?

Cloepfil: When I was in my freshman year in college, this team called the Timbers showed up [in the North American Soccer League]. It’s funny.

I played American football, a lot of my friends played basketball. We were serious jocks on a terrible high school team in Tigard. (Laughs) Anyway, we kind of fell in love with soccer. We’d never been exposed to it.

This was the mid-seventies.

Costello: 1975 is when the team came into the NASL. Cloepfil: Yes. We started going to games, and then we started playing pick-up soccer. It was really fun. Then the Timbers beat Seattle in the playoffs. We went to that game.

When I had my daughters – I have four daughters – and those girls kind of grew up with when the U.S. team won the first World Cup and Olympic gold era. Then all those girls from University of Portland — Shannon MacMillan and Tiffeny Milbrett — they all went to UP. We’d watch all the UP games; the quality of women’s soccer in Portland at that time was crazy.

My girls grew up around that, and my ex-wife was a track star at University of Oregon. So, you know, we had sort of jock roots, and these girls all grew up playing it.

That really got me addicted.

All along, I’m following the Timbers and seeing games when I can, even when I didn’t live in Portland.

Costello: If we’re talking about Providence Park as sort of akin to what Lambeau Field is to American football, or what Fenway Park is to baseball, how did you figure out, or did you try to figure out how to take some of that spirit of the stadium and its history, and put it into the design?

Cloepfil: Yeah. It’s holy ground, isn’t it?

Costello: Yes. Cloepfil: It is daunting. It’s raw. It’s not fancy. It’s transparent, so you can see through it, you can see people. The original building was raw concrete. This is raw concrete. It has that kind of elemental thing that Oregon’s all about.

Simply Great Lawyers

Artist’s rendering, courtesy Allied Works Continued from page 37 It’s really about the game. I just think, to me, my joke about 10 wins is not a joke. I think what we’re doing is we’re creating the intensity, or we’re amplifying the intensity of the fan experience. It will just be unbelievable. The immediacy to the field.

Then we’ve got a historical image — I don’t know if you saw that — where they had planned a two-story [on the east side].

Costello: The original A.E. Doyle design from 1926? Yeah.

Cloepfil: We found that in our research, and that was really encouraging. It was a two-story piece along the street there. So, yeah, that’s kind of it. Transparent, kind of simple, elemental. It’s really for the fans and the game.

Costello: Are there any sort of nooks and crannies or things that you like?

Like secret spots, or spaces that you think are interesting?

Cloepfil: I just walked it for the first time in a few months and there’s all kinds of little discovery spaces. The first thing is, you’re just right on top of the field.

It doesn’t matter what level it is. It’s just amazing. Even when you’re on the third level, you’ll see the entire run of play.

That’s one thing that’s amazing.

In fact, I want to get seats on the second level because I think that’s the sweet spot.

Because you’re up high enough you really can see everything; all the space, all the ball movement.

At the ends of the seats, both the north and the south ends, there’s these overlooks and overhangs — especially to the north end — where you really can stand out there.

I think the third floor with the views of Portland, that kind of overlooks some balconies that look back at the city and over the field [is also great].

Costello: You mentioned finding the A.E. Doyle sketch, and I know you’ve designed this sort of colonnade on the outside too that works with the sidewalk. How much of the history of both the building and neighborhood played into the design?

Cloepfil: Moving out over the street was huge — to arcade the stadium over the sidewalk. So that when you’re walking down the street during game day you’re really in the stadium. You’re basically in a concourse. The only thing separating you is the transparent fence. So, you can see into the field like the old days. You can see down to the pitch. It’s an amazing urban experience.

Now [the city] was a big thing for us too, because at the same time this thing is going up and overlooking the field, you’ll be able to see people from the city. You’ll see people on all the different levels. All the action and activity. And people milling around and looking over the city and the street. It creates a connection to the city.

It’s just going to be a wall of people and energy. That’s what it is.

Costello: I grew up in Minneapolis and I remember going to the original, though now dismantled, Guthrie Theater with Ralph Rapson’s design.

Cloepfil: Oh, wow. You are an architecture fan. That was a cool building.

Costello: It was a great building. It had that permeability with its exterior where it would frame people in the windows and the walls so that if you were outside, you were seeing a “performance” of people in the lobby. And I think there is a lot of crossover between that building and this design.

People talk about the players. Did they perform well today? How did they perform? What was the team’s performance like? There’s a performative aspect certainly to an athletic performance, just as there is to an artistic performance.

Continued from page 39 Cloepfil: Oh, no question. Again, back to the fan experience. You can take anybody. I took my mom, who’s not a soccer fan, to a game, and it’s moving. It’s just such a powerful, moving experience in Providence Park. And what you were starting to say, too. I mean, one of the things that struck me when I was [at the stadium] — and I kind of knew it intellectually when we were designing obviously – is that it’s so urban. It turns that stadium into this intensely urban, densely packed vertical thing. Not only because you’re doing all this work to the entire stadium, but [the design] will change the entire vibe to be even more intimate and intense. I think that’s the exciting part.

I feel incredibly lucky that Merritt chose to do this with us. To your point, having never done a stadium, letting us come up with these ideas and create this thing. I feel incredibly lucky. And I have learned — we as an office learned — so much. I can tell you one thing we learned, stadiums are a lot harder than art museums.

Costello: Why so?

Cloepfil: I’m joking, but they’re just so different. I mean, with art museums you’re creating [something] beautiful, but you’re just creating a series of empty rooms.

They have to be beautifully proportioned and have beautiful light. They have to be amazing.

But the movement of 4,000 people, the sight lines, the distance from the field, the concourses — it’s an entirely new thing that we’ve learned.

And there’s no rules. Every stadium, it doesn’t matter how famous, it doesn’t matter how simple, has different sight lines. Different breaks. Different spacing.

It’s basically an alchemy. It’s witchcraft, as far as I can tell. You stir the pot and you hope you have the magic.

Costello: If you’re designing an empty room in a museum, here the empty room already exists — it’s the pitch. You’re trying to figure out how to get people in to watch it, right?

40 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2019

Cloepfil: Right. See, that’s the thing.

That’s a good lead in. Architecture for me, it’s never the subject. You want it to be beautiful, you want it to be a place people want to be. But to me, what you want to do, you want it to charge the space. I talk about that with art museums. You wanted to give the museum a charge, but you don’t necessarily even want to notice it.

You just want to feel that energy of beautiful light, beautiful proportions, and it’s the same here.

You want the stadium to be full of a kind of anticipatory energy. You want it to build anticipation just being in there.

The really good stadiums — I mean, all stadiums do that, to a certain extent — but the really good ones, you walk in and you kind of catch your breath almost. That’s what you want.

Costello: Because you’re excited for that moment. You don’t know what’s going to happen.

Cloepfil: Exactly. Actually, it’s amazing.

That’s the most amazing thing about sports stadia. You walk through a tunnel or you walk out and look over the field and you see the people.

That was also really important to us — to have all those breaks on the east side — so that you not only see the field, but you could see all the people and you really feel like you’re in it with them. That’s really, really important. I think that’s incredible.

In fact, from that little north overlook, when you look back, you look over the existing seats, and you can also look back at the new seats and you see the entire 25,000 people. That’s an amazing spot.

Costello: What does it mean to be able to design something like this, and in such a public space, in a place you grew up?

Cloepfil: It’s amazing. I think about this a lot actually, too. You know, we did the National Music Centre of Canada, which is a building that aspires to manifest the musical history and aspirations of a country.

But if I was going to do one project in Portland, Oregon — [be it] the art museum, a new performing arts building — what would really mean the most to the city?

I would contend that the Timbers are the most beloved cultural institution — and I’ll call it a cultural institution or civic institution — in the city. By far. To get to do that, it’s the right project for me, outside of my passion for soccer and the history and all the other stuff. But to get to manifest the spirit of a place in the city I grew up in; it’s the perfect project. We’re so lucky. So incredibly lucky. And the fact that it’s two blocks from my office is the mindblower. We get to watch it go up. And it’s such a sophisticated thing structurally, with the steel structure tying down to the streets, the enormous cantilever. There’s a lot of learning in it, so it’s been great fun.

Costello: I think, like you say, as a space, as a building in the city, as a central gathering spot and an access that things revolve around on a game day, it’s going to be really interesting.

Cloepfil: We looked at old stadiums that had the old covered bleachers, and each side of the stadium was a different era.

Or there was like two historic sides and then two new sides. I thought of that time before they started doing mega stadiums, tearing [the old ones] all down. That was magic for me, because you got the historic piece and the new pieces. You could kind of feel the whole history of the club. That’s the gift of this stadium to the Timbers — we have this history.

We have a near 100-year-old stadium that no other soccer club in North America has. I think the old and the new in the stadium is the kind of charge that really gives it more gravitas. It’ll make the old parts feel even more authentic, and the new parts more energizing. I cannot wait. I just can’t even imagine. I’m going to cry like a baby on the first day, let me tell you that.

Only if they win. (Laughs) WM

MEMBERS ONLY: OF SIGHTLINES AND EXCITING TIMES

A

rchitect Brad Cloepfil’s new design for Providence Park is a love letter to the people of Portland and their beloved game of soccer. It’s also a respectfully revolutionary addition to a structure with deep ties to MAC history.

Multnomah Civic Stadium was dedicated in 1926, right before the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club football team played its final two games. In the years since, it has hosted a variety of high school and college games, as well as other athletic and entertainment events.

In the 1950s, it became the home of the Portland Beavers, and it was renamed Multnomah Stadium in 1966 after the city purchased it from MAC. Further renovations occurred in 2001 and 2010; the latter was designed to accommodate the Portland Timbers MLS franchise As Providence Park prepares to enter its next phase of existence, Cloepfil was kind enough to answer a few questions about what his new designs mean from the perspective of a member.

You’ve been a MAC member for more than a decade now. How have the club and neighborhood changed in that time?

I moved into my new office at 16th and Morrison about the time I became a member, and in the past few years the neighborhood has just blown up. The Oregonian blocks, the new apartment building next to Hotel Deluxe, and now the stadium addition. The area will be completely transformed. Exciting.

What made you first want to join? Are there any aspects of club culture or the physical space of which you’re particularly fond?

My old friend Peter Koehler convinced me to join so that he and I could play tennis there! Of course, the facilities are unmatched, and my family has benefitted from my tennis obsession.

Has membership given you any different perspectives on Providence Park or the fans and athletes who use it?

A month or so ago I was on a treadmill looking out into the stadium, and I saw the nearly completed addition for the first time from MAC. It was amazing, like looking through a window into the future.

Everything I had hoped for about the design

was in place. The wall of fans, the intimacy and intensity of the stadium. It was thrilling.

The land Providence Park stands on was first developed by the club as a stadium.

Aside from A.E. Doyle’s sketches, was there any other history of the field and its uses that played into your process?

We did a lot of research into the field and its history when we began considering the addition. All relating to the urbanity of the stadium, its unique, somewhat proletariat nature, and its intimacy. It’s a stadium you and I can “own” ­— from the street and in the seats. It’s really the people’s stadium.

Assuming you’ve watched a number of Timbers games from the Stadium Terrace, did those sightlines inform your POV in any way?

We have maintained the sightlines from the street to the field, and created a covered arcade so that even just walking down 18th, you feel as if you are in the game. I think the MAC balcony becomes even more special. You feel you are literally hovering in the middle of the stadium now. With the addition, it feels like Multnomah Stadium has fulfilled its destiny. Now we just need those ten extra wins per season that I promised Merritt! ­—Jake Ten Pas

We did a lot of research into the field and its history when we began considering the addition. ... It’s really the people’s stadium.

Volcanic Disasters and How to Survive Them

By Kevin Scott

I

n the cities and towns along the Cowlitz River, which drains Mount St. Helens above its confluence with the Columbia, most people were sleeping late on Sunday, May 18, 1980. Although the volcano was increasingly restless, there was no reason for any downstream alert or evacuation plan beyond the existing hazard zones.

Suddenly, the north flank of St. Helens failed as three successive volcanic blocks flowed down the North Fork of the Toutle River as a debris avalanche. Inside the north flank, a hidden, expanding mass of magma was suddenly exposed, causing it to instantly depressurize as the flank collapsed. It exploded northward, blasting through the sliding avalanche as a huge, ground-hugging pyroclastic density current. Awesome in its violence, it boiled northward at about 300 miles per hour, instantly flattening old-growth forests as if, as one survivor said, “they were instantly slapped down by a giant hand.”

In a 50-year career with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), I have studied many volcanic disasters around the Pacific Rim of Fire, as well as at Mount Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei in Italy. I’ve also recognized ways that future lives can be saved in the 21st century —certainly in the hundreds, and perhaps in the tens of thousands — but only if people heed what we now know.

My book’s title, The Voice of This Stone, is borrowed from an ancient “billboard” in Italy, a warning sign erected in 1632 by the Spanish viceroy after a large eruption of Mount Vesuvius the previous year.

Installed at the base of the volcano, the sign’s chilling words are as urgent today as they were then: “Descendants, descendants, listen to the voice of this stone.

When the volcano rumbles, growls, shakes, do not delay, leave your possessions and run away without delay.”

In defining volcanic risk, it is important to know how a volcano has behaved throughout its history. We do that with field geology, reading the layers and deposits of past eruptions and collapses.

But we know this history for only about 10 percent of the world’s roughly 1,500 active volcanoes. For that 10 percent, can we generalize how to warn those living on or near them and save lives and property?

Strangely and curiously, no.

Volcanoes have very different personalities, even those that are adjacent like Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier.

And each has its own story to tell. We ignore those stories, both oral and written, at our peril. For those who live near active volcanoes, education, early and often, is essential.

Another way to stay alive: immediate and patient responsiveness to calls for evacuation. In anticipation of an eruption, calls for evacuation tend to arrive too late. As volcanic activity can wax and wane, officials fear looking foolish if there is no eruption or collapse, so they choose to err on the side of being too early. Then if activity quiets, residents can grow mistrustful or angry and demand to return home, even though the danger is still high. Experts refer to this as the “false-alarm problem”

and ask, “What do you cry when there may be a wolf?”

The worst-case scenario is an eruption that occurs with no warning. That possibility illustrates the need for an event-warning system. At Mount Rainier, the USGS has installed acoustic flow monitors at the base of the volcano linked to downstream sirens that can provide about 30 minutes of advance warning. That could make the difference in getting to high ground for those living in the pathway of volcanic debris flows.

My work, and that of my esteemed colleagues, involves reconstructing volcano behavior over millennia. In turn, that lets us plan for the most probable future behavior. But study alone is worthless unless we reach our target audience: those who live in zones of great volcanic danger. My greatest hope is that through my life’s work and publication of this new book, many thousands of lives will be spared.

Join Kevin Scott at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 11, for an illustrated talk based on his new book. The event is free.

MAC Scholar Athletes Make the Most Out of Opportunities

By Jake Ten Pas

A

s it nears its 50th year, the MAC Scholar Athlete program has meant a lot of things to a lot of people. For some, the $1,500 scholarship might be the most enticing benefit. For others, the two-year MAC membership – with an option to convert to senior membership – is the real score. Still others love the opportunities opened up to them through Multnomah Athletic Foundation and its charitable endeavors.

While the sense of community at MAC might be less tangible, it’s one of the club’s defining characteristics, and represents the greatest gift for some Scholar Athletes.

Even just the recognition involved in having your excellence celebrated by an athletic and social institution like MAC can be invaluable.

Among the three Scholar Athletes singled out for extra coverage this year, readers will find examples of all of these reasons for loving the program. Each of the 29 sophomores who received the 2019 honor will find their own most-meaningful aspect, and there are no wrong answers. Their responses to the question of how they’d act locally to make a global impact seem to indicate that, no matter what they take away from the opportunity, they’ll end up giving far more back in return.

ootball and the theatre have a lot in common. Don’t believe it? Ask Ahliah Nordstrom, a MAC Scholar Athlete with big-screen ambitions. The Roosevelt High School senior has excelled on stage and field alike, and says both pursuits have kept her on the straight and narrow over the past four years.

“You’ve got to show up every day on time in theater and in team sports,” she says. “Everybody builds off each other, and shares their dedication. Both are great opportunities to showcase your talents.”

Nordstrom’s talents extend to basketball, track and field and the classroom. She has consistently made honor roll throughout high school, took first place at districts in shot put and discus, and even made it onto the podium at the state track and field meet.

All of this combined to earn her a spot among MAC’s Scholar Athletes, a designation that has only further fueled her drive for excellence. “It’s kept me in shape, having the resources and the facility available to me,” she says. “I love meeting new people, and so being able to meet other Scholar Athletes who are on the same journey and doing the same things as I am was really helpful. Also, I always get emails

from Lisa telling me about volunteer opportunities, and those are really helpful.”

That “Lisa” is Lisa Bendt, executive director of the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, who recently invited Nordstrom to participate in MAF’s Spin-athon, an event which raises money to fund the kinds of programs that help students like her. In addition to getting the most out of the club’s facilities, the renaissance young woman is thankful for the scholarship she’s been awarded. In combination with the Pathways Scholarship for lowincome students that she received from University of Oregon, she’s looking forward to attending college in the fall.

There, she hopes to earn her degree in some combination of computer science and cinema studies, and would eventually like to tell stories to inspire another generation of achievers. She also plans to try out as a walk-on for the school’s prestigious track and field team.

“Take advantage of what you have, and of the resources that are given to you,” she advises. “Do what you want to do, and not what people expect you to do. There’s always going to be a challenge, and I hope to conquer it.”

“M

y life is kind of crazy,” says St. Mary’s Academy senior Eliza Lawrence. That’s one way of putting it.

In early December, she was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma, and started treatment shortly thereafter.

At a time when many of her classmates were focused on slogging through their remaining credits or not getting carried out to sea by the undertow of “senioritis,” Lawrence was fighting just to stay afloat.

Fortunately, having taken her studies seriously throughout high school, she was able to audit her remaining classes and focus on getting better.

“I really love learning, and I think that’s definitely gotten me through this year,” she says. “The St. Mary’s community, teachers and administration have been really, really supportive and helpful. I think being a part of MAC provides a really good community as well.”

Between December and April, Lawrence went through five rounds of chemotherapy, each lasting 21 days. While survival and staying sane might have been ambitious enough goals for some, Lawrence set her sights on finding ways to improve even as some of her athletic passions proved too physically demanding.

A multi-sport athlete, Lawrence had been a member of the varsity cross country, Nordic skiing, lacrosse and track teams throughout high school, as well as an avid explorer of the outdoors by way of mountaineering, biking, hiking, and rock climbing. When participation in some of those activities was no longer an option, she got more deeply involved with other pursuits, including practicing yoga and the nonprofit organization Post 58.

In February, she became president of a second local chapter of Post 58, “a group of teenagers from the Portland area who engage in outdoor adventures under the guidance of experienced adults.” In addition to coordinating and encouraging appreciation of challenging outdoor activities, Post 58 teaches respect for the wilderness and leadership skills, and organizes service projects designed to give back to the outdoor world.

Lawrence is looking to learn more about that world over a well-earned gap year, during which she hopes to work at the Teton Science School in Wyoming and possibly participate in the Bike and Build program. After that, she says she’ll start college, where her goal is to study English and environmental science.

Emily Sippel

Eliza Lawrence

hoever first said, “The third time’s a charm,” probably didn’t have Emily Sippel’s ACL in mind, much less the trio of tears it endured on the soccer field before she finished at Westview High School. It might be a stretch to even think of serious knee injuries as “charmed,” but without those obstacles, Sippel’s life might have followed a very different course.

“It was really transformative in my life, that whole process. Really hard, but there is something in me that obviously loves the sport enough to keep going. In between each tear, I just knew that it would be worth it,” Sippel says. “Looking back, those injuries piqued my interest in the medical field, through my orthopedic surgeon. I thought, ‘That might be an interesting career,’ and so I ended up majoring in biology at University of Portland.”

Now wrapping up her second year of medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, Sippel didn’t let her injuries stop her from pursuing her passion for soccer, even though they sidelined her for most of high school. Her first tear occurred in 2009, right about the time she became a MAC Scholar Athlete.

“Not being able to be physically active has definitely been hard for me, but knowing that in just a few months, I’ll be back out there, and that it’s all temporary — that has carried me through,” she says.

“That [honor] was very motivating and encouraging because it kept me going and made me realize that we all enjoy a little recognition here and there. I think it also helped me realize the value of perseverance and that hard work does pay off,” Sippel says. In addition to putting the scholarship money to good use at UP, she maximized her membership, coming to the club up to five days a week while studying for the MCAT. Describing athletic competition as a much-needed outlet from the rigors of her studies, Sippel has stuck to soccer while working toward her goal of becoming a doctor. Despite her injuries, UP honored her scholarship, and she ended up playing as part of their renowned soccer program for four years. She still competes in both soccer and basketball as part of Creighton’s intramural league.

As she gets ready to head to the school’s Phoenix, Arizona, campus for her second two years of medical school, she says that she wouldn’t change anything about her journey to get to this point. “I try and find the positives out of every situation. I think life’s too short not to do that.”

WELLNESS

Connecting the Mind and Belly I

f a patient complains of abdominal pain and/or queasiness, I often ask them to rate their stress levels. Stress can cause a rise in stomach acid and in cortisol. Cortisol is often referred to as our flight or fight hormone, and a rise in the flight or fight response decreases blood flow to, and digestion in, our gastrointestinal system.

It also might contribute to an abnormal gut bacteria balance, which may cause abdominal pain, gas, bloating and constipation.

There also can be gastrointestinal dysfunction that doesn’t cause abdominal pain or indigestion, but may lead to fatigue and depression. More specifically, recent attention on the brain-gut connection has focused on food allergies or intolerances that contribute to brain fog, mental fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Although many might be aware of the effects of mental stress on the gut, fewer know that the gastrointestinal system has its own neural system, called the enteric nervous system. It has been dubbed the second brain because it has its own reflexes, despite input from the brain or spinal cord. The gastrointestinal system is also where numerous brain neurotransmitters are made. Serotonin for instance, our “happy” brain neurotransmitter, is made in the gastrointestinal system.

EATING WELL

T

raditional ceviche, by definition, is a dish of marinated raw fish or seafood, typically garnished and served as an appetizer. It is most common in coastal nations of Central and South America, as well is in Mexico and the Caribbean, but most notably in Peru, where it is believed ceviche has its origins with the Incas. In ceviche, acidic lime juice quickly transforms the fish or seafood’s proteins (thus amino acids) by rearranging them and making it safe to eat. While the seafood is no longer raw, it is not cooked in a traditional sense either. Instead, the acidic citrus juice is rerranging amino acids in a way that is similar to that of traditionally cooked seafood. But the fish has to be extremely fresh to assure the safety of this process.

WELLNESS

Before trying a traditional ceviche recipe, be sure to know the source of the fish. Because that’s not always possible, I chose to share a recipe for a delicious, refreshing vegetarian version of a ceviche, which substitutes a variety of beans for the fish or seafood protein. Use as a salad, as topping for tacos, or as a dip.

Vegan Ceviche

Preparation

Servings: 12 Prep/marinating time: 20-30 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes

1. Chop the onion lengthwise, add it to the lime juice and set aside to marinate for 20-30 minutes. (After 30 minutes, drain the onion, but do not discard the lime juice.)

Ingredients 1 can navy beans (rinsed) 1 can black beans (rinsed) 1 medium sweet onion 1 ear of corn (precooked) 2 avocados (good quality) ¼ cup cilantro ½ cup red bell pepper 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons jalapeno 2/3 cup lime juice

2. While the onion is marinating, chop the red bell pepper, jalapeno (wearing gloves is an option during this process) and cilantro.

3. Cut the corn off the cob.

4. In large bowl, mix the beans, corn, red bell pepper, salt, pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and drained marinated onions.

5. Cut the avocadoes into chunks and add to the bowl. Gently toss all of the ingredients together with a fork.

7. Drizzle on some of the leftover lime juice.

Taste the mixture as you add the juice.

Acidic preference can vary.

ATHLETICS

Tracy, Bella and John Klosterman. (Below) Bella on MAC’s 18 Black team.

Volleyball Runs in the Family W

hile Bella Klosterman is new to the MAC Volleyball program this year, she’s not new to the game itself. The Lincoln High School senior began playing 10 years ago and will continue at the collegiate level at Skidmore College this fall. It’s not hard to see how Klosterman found her volleyball passion. Both her parents have avid histories within the sport and her mother, Tracy, continues to play and coach.

How do you find MAC different from other clubs you’ve played for?

How did you get started in volleyball?

The coaching style is very different than what I had been exposed to in the past.

I’d like to thank Coach Rick Moller and Coach Marija Vojnovic for helping grow my mental game and skills. Coach Rick has a perspective on the mental aspects of volleyball that’s different from any coach I have had, and that’s strengthened my perseverance, resilience, focus and positive self-talk.

I was always around it when I was younger, with both of my parents having played. My mom was always really encouraging about me playing volleyball. I have memories of when she was the head coach at Grant High School, and her players would try to pepper with me.

What’s your favorite part of playing this team sport?

I live for the competition. You only make one point at a time in volleyball, so you are pushed to fight for each one.

It may seem small, but something that has had a huge impact on our team is staying all together in houses during travel tournaments. It has really built our relationships on and off the court, which has made our [18 Black] team better all around.

How did this club season help to prepare you for college volleyball?

What advice do you have for young kids thinking about playing volleyball?

My advice would be to go for it. The community and skills that I’ve gained from playing volleyball are absolutely priceless.

Anything else you’d like to add?

For anyone else playing volleyball, or another sport, the most valuable lesson that I have learned is to never stop working hard. I’ve encountered many challenges and setbacks, but I turned that disappointment into fuel for my passion.

ATHLETICS

Before fully committing to dance at MAC, Talcott was a member of the MAC swim team for three years, ran on the Lincoln and West Sylvan track teams, and played recreational soccer for nine years.

She’s excelled as both an athlete and artist while part of the Company, and has been a leader and role model for the younger dancers on the team. Talcott was the Sugar Plum Fairy in the MAC’s abridged Nutcracker in December and represented the club this season as a soloist at regional competitions, where she earned high marks for her artistry and technique.

A Shining Star, Onstage and Off MAC Dance celebrates graduating senior

T

he MAC Dance Company prides itself on providing a supportive environment where its dancers can flourish on multiple levels — in dance, academics and beyond.

The Company members congratulate Marissa Talcott on all of her accomplishments as she graduates from Lincoln High School this month. They are pleased to have played a small part in launching yet another talented, well-rounded dancer toward college.

Talcott has been part of the Company for the past three years, but has been dancing practically her entire life. She started her training at age 5 with Portland Ballet, and expanded into other styles of dance (including contemporary, jazz, hip hop and tap) with the MAC recreational program when she was 11. Talcott competed on both the West Sylvan Middle School and Lincoln High School dance teams until landing full-time on the MAC Dance Company as a sophomore.

Not only a well-rounded dancer, Talcott is also an exemplary student and is graduating as a valedictorian from Lincoln with a 4.0 and a full International Baccalaureate diploma. She competed on the Lincoln Constitution team and volunteers with Mission Citizen, teaching civics classes to immigrants preparing for the U.S. citizenship exam. She also had a full-time summer job at Grace Art Camp throughout high school.

This fall, Talcott begins her freshman year at Claremont McKenna College, where she hopes to continue to dance in some capacity. There’s no doubt that she’ll continue to excel in both dance and life.

ATHLETICS Spaulding Wins Joan Harmony Award

` Athletics news/information

M

ost people would not think of their fitness instructor as tender or soft, but these characteristics are the foundation of the 2019 Joan Harmony Award winner’s name — Linda Spaulding. From Germanic roots, the name Linda means “tender and gentle,” and from South African roots, it means “wait,” indicating a mindful approach toward others.

Still, this Linda is relentless in her boot camp workout, making her both a powerful and gracious motivator.

For 23 years, Spaulding has remained consistent in her service to MAC members as a group exercise instructor. She also supervises more than 35 instructors, balancing a revolving schedule of classes and member needs. Her flexibility, knack for praising strengths, and love for healthy living keeps her committed to MAC day in and day out.

Linda Spaulding Spaulding’s goodwill extends outside the group exercise room. You’ll find her leading the way at the Healthy Heart Walk and during Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities. Boot Camp classes are at 5:30 a.m.

Mondays and Fridays in Studio One. ­—Melissa Valenzuela

TIM GUNTHER

“We selected Linda to receive the Joan Harmony Award because she exemplifies the high standards that Joan Harmony did as an instructor,” says Amy Caplan, chair of the Studio Fitness Committee. Harmony was an exuberant and vigorous MAC instructor, who died after battling cancer.

Spaulding was given the award at the Instructor Appreciation Banquet on May 1.

ATHLETICS Summer Racquetball Opportunities

E

ven during the summer months, racquetball’s competitive off-season, MAC’s committed crew of players are on the courts Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Both days offer opportunities for players of all skill levels to keep their games in-tune regardless of their intramural level. That said, Sundays mornings are particularly good for new or newer players; there is almost always an elite player or member coach present to help out. New players who don’t own the required gear (racquet, glasses and ball) can borrow them from At Your Service, free of charge.

In addition to regular weekly happenings, Member Coach Dave Szafranski, one of the club’s elite players, is holding seven free practices this summer specifically geared toward middle and high school students, ages 12-18. No racquetball experience is required, and equipment will be provided for those who need it. Come to Courts 7-10 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, June 18 and 25, and July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. No advance sign-up is necessary.

Coach Dave Szafranski with Catherine Morley, Robin Briglia, Kayla Rae, Davis Ma, Scout Hawkey and Connor Fadden

High School Victories MAC Racquetball would also like to recognize players who flew to St. Louis earlier this year for the 2019 U.S. High School National Racquetball Championships. Of the 420 athletes who participated, more than 25 percent of them were from Oregon. MAC members listed below did particularly well and are worthy of congratulations. Also present were Racquetball Member Coaches Szafranski and Dave Moyle.

• Catherine Morley (Lincoln), 1st place, Girls Singles, No. 2 white division • Robin Briglia (Lincoln), 1st place, Girls Singles, No. 3 white division • Kayla Rae (Lincoln), Quarterfinals, Girls Singles, No. 1 blue division • Connor Fadden (Jesuit), Quarterfinals, Boys Singles, No. 1 white division

Table Tennis Clinics a Smashing Success

A

record-setting number of MAC members gathered in the West Gym in late March for three back-to-back table tennis clinics.

Players looking to further improve their game are invited to a Beginning-Novice Clinic, 10-11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 15 in the West Gym. Sign up by June 4 through At Your Service. The cost is $15.

ATHLETICS MAC Cycling Commuter Rewards It’s time to recognize those who choose a sustainable mode of transportation

C

ycling Committee members have been encouraged by the number of bicycles in the bike racks adjacent to the Athletic Entrance, especially in the afternoons and evenings. Seeing bikes parked at MAC raised the question “How many members and employees regularly ride to the club?” They saw an opportunity to add to the current cycling program and incorporate a rewards and recognition program for people who have traded in their car for a bike, even if it’s just a few times a week.

Introducing the Commuter Rewards and Recognition Program. Every time a MAC member or employee rides to the club instead of driving, they’ll be entered to win awesome prizes. It’s easy, it’s healthy and it’s good for the planet.

Focus on Fixed Income Investing To register, go to the Events page at theMAC.com and look for information about the program, starting July 1. Once registered, email Outdoor@themac.com at the end of each month with “MAC Cycling Commuter Rewards and Recognition Program” in the subject line and indicate the number of trips to MAC that were done by bicycle. For more information, and detailed instructions, check out the registration page.

Treasury Bonds Municipal Bonds Corporate Bonds

Aside from the bike racks at the Athletic Entrance, there is additional bicycle parking in the bike cage on the first level of the Parking Structure, on the north side, closest to the crosswalk to the clubhouse. It’s easy to park and lock a bike there. Register at the At Your Service desk to get access.

ATHLETICS Resurfaced Courts Ready for Play

T

he return of warmer weather seems to bring a new vitality to tennis at MAC — both for recreational and competitive players. Now is the perfect time to grab a racquet and head to the newly resurfaced indoor courts or the two outdoor courts.

MAC Tennis continues to make its mark on the local competitive tennis community. Eight teams qualified to play in local USTA 18+ playoffs, hoping to earn a spot to play in the sectional tournament this summer. The team captains are as follows: Anne Mangan 2.5, Amy Cooney 3.0, Nicolle Lochner, 3.5, Tony Humpage 3.5, Annie Duong 4.5, Joe Conyard 4.0, Heidi Clark 4.0 and Andrew Nilsson 4.5.

Also noteworthy, in March, Rick Anderson, 3.0 MAC and Mountain Park Singles champion, made it through the semifinal round of a national championship tournament in Surprise, Arizona.

Reserve and Play One of the tennis community’s goals is to bring more people of all ages and genders into the game. The Tennis Reservation Policy is set up to make court

access fair and increase the number of members who can play each week.

Three points to note: • Members are allowed three reservations in a seven-day period.

• Courts can be booked three days in advance starting at 9:30 a.m., and must be canceled by 8 p.m. the night prior.

• The person whose name is on the reservation must be present on the tennis court during the reserved time.

Two common errors: • Booking a court in family member’s name.

• Using a court reserved by a friend or team member when that member is not present on the court.

Penalties will be imposed for violations of the Reservation Policy. A first violation results in a warning email that reminds the member of the policy. A second violation includes a $25 fine, and a third violation brings a three-month suspension of reservation privileges. The complete policy is posted on theMAC.com.

Coaches Corner Many tennis players consider their warm-up to be the few minutes they hit balls before spinning racquets and starting play. But a little extra time spent before getting on the court can prepare the body for a better start.

Take advantage of an early arrival at the courts by hopping on an exercise bike or treadmill. This helps get the heart going and prepares the body for more intense exercise. If equipment is not available, walk the stairs or walk in place. Just don’t sit or stand still.

For those athletes who look at a screen most of the day, or are playing first thing in the morning, the eye muscles are not ready to track something moving as quickly as a tennis ball.

Spend a few moments juggling the ball on a racquet. Bouncing the ball up or down can help warm up the eyes.

Lastly, remember that tennis is about trunk rotation, and a loose core is key. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and turn to the left and back to the right. Repeat. Let the arms wrap around the body with each turn. Twenty of these should help to loosen up the lower back and get the body ready to turn into the ball from the first stroke.

It is inspiring to see the dedication of MAC tennis athletes as they improve their game, bring new members to the courts and participate in fun social activities such as the Wilson-sponsored Summer Social on Wednesday, July 24.

Players get a chance to test out the full line of Wilson racquets, followed by food, refreshments and prizes. See you there!

ATHLETICS Prime Time for MAC Handball Players

M

arch, April and May are normally heavy handball tournament months.

This year was no exception, as many MAC handball players participated in events at the club and around the state in early 2019.

Congratulations to the winners for showcasing the high quality of MAC players.

Intramurals Member Coach J.D. McLandrich organized another successful eight-week intramural league. Participants enjoyed the challenging matches as well as the food, drink and camaraderie. Steve Stenberg, Andy Kangas, Steve Grow, Rudy Eissinger, Bob Gill, Greg Howell and Otto Van Walstijn were the winners in their respective divisions.

Super Bowl Tournament

This annual event at MAC is organized

by Bob Evenson. Seven double teams play seven matches to 11 points. This year’s winners were Ron Shoquist and Roger Swanson.

State Doubles An exciting 2019 State Doubles Tournament was held in Salem. MAC member Conner Casey and athletic member Josh Bateman lost in a close tiebreaker to the perennial champions from

2019 Super Bowl Tournament players Eugene. Casey then teamed with Stenberg to win the Big Ball finals. Graig Trull and David Steinberg won their division, and Jean and Jeff Kastner won in Mixed Doubles.

National Masters Doubles Dr. Ed Grossenbacher won the 80+ division at the United States Handball Association (USHA) National Masters Doubles Handball Tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Grossenbacher’s victory tied him for the most national titles at 56.

State Singles This year’s State Singles Tournament was held at the Sunset Athletic Club in Beaverton. MAC athletic member Andy Romanchock won the Men’s Singles A and 40+ divisions. Steve Sharpe won the 50+ Singles. Graig Trull came in second in the 60+ division. Mike Casey won the 65+ B Consolation division. Ron Shoquist won the 70+ division. Ed Grossenbacher won the 80+ division. Otto Van Walstijn won the 80+ Consolation.

Pickleball in the Sun

AC members and pickleball players Dana Hunt and Gay Hart (pictured left) took part in their first national tournament in Palm Desert, California, in March.

The beautifully sunny day brought out more than 600 hundred entrants and several hundred spectators. “It was a vision of electric excitement,” recalls Hart.

All levels of players participated, including the world’s best. “They were amazing and inspiring to watch, says Hart. She adds that “although we didn’t take any medals, it was a wonderful experience and something everyone should try.”

ATHLETICS Brain Aerobics: Take It to the Pool

I

t is well documented that exercise is an important component of good health and longevity. In recent years, studies have focused on the importance of exercise as it relates to brain health.

Research shows that exercise helps build gray matter in the brain that aides in creativity, alertness and motivation.

Exercise also can improve the function of the synapses between neurons, helping brain cells communicate better.

In a study published in January 2019 Nature Medicine, researchers theorize that an exercise-induced hormone called irisin may lessen the damage and memory loss of dementia, improve brain health, and reduce or protect against the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They believe that irisin promotes neuronal growth in the brain’s hippocampus, a region critical for learning and memory.

Exercising to build a better brain is a no-brainer.

But for many, exercise can be hard to accomplish on land due to health conditions such as arthritis and joint pain. Or maybe some have become bored with standard aerobic classes or going for a run.

A perfect solution is a water fitness class at one of the MAC pools. Classes range from fast-paced exercise, such as deep-water fitness or strengthand-balance building on a floating fitness mat, to soothing aqua yoga.

Exercising in the water is great for reducing arthritis and other joint pain because the buoyancy of the water puts less stress and reduces the pressure on joints compared with land exercise. Water also acts as a form of resistance. Since water is 12 times more resistant than air, water exercisers benefit from both a strength and cardio workout. According to the

Cleveland Clinic, a pool-based workout can burn between 400-500 calories per hour.

There’s one more factor to consider when choosing the pool as part of a workout routine. The Nature Medicine study discovered that mice that swam almost daily over a five-week period developed significantly less memory impairment in spite of being infused with the protein beta amyloid, thought to contribute to Alzheimer’s. Research is showing that water therapy provides unique benefits that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia.

Only we hold the power to change and protect our brains. Now, dig that swimsuit out of the drawer and head to the pool!

ast fall at the annual Swim Team barbecue, Hannah Cooney, a Junior at Jesuit High School, dislocated her knee.

Her best events are Breaststroke and Individual Medley, where being able to bend one’s knees to catch the water with the feet is essential. She spent three weeks out of the pool, and spent the rest of the season pulling (swimming without using legs).

Cooney plans on swimming in college, so not being able to train or race her best events could be considered catastrophic — to some. But she didn’t let the injury get in her way. She shifted her focus to distance freestyle. She didn’t complain. She pivoted, and then got to work. Calling Cooney tough is an understatement. She has true grit. Her attitude and work ethic rewarded her with best times, high rankings and new

ATHLETICS Gymnasts Fly High During Competitive Season

H

ard work, consistent practice, mental discipline, unparalleled team spirit, dedicated parents and excellent coaching resulted in another terrific year for MAC’s nearly 100 competitive gymnastics.

The boys and girls teams began their seasons with Winter Informal meets at MAC in December and ended at the State Championships in March. Many athletes also continued to the Regional Championships in April and level 10 athletes Kaylee Sugimoto, Austin Kirk and Adam Wolfe also competed at the National Championships.

Of the many accomplishments this past season, a big standout was high school junior Austin Kirk being chosen to represent Region 2 (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska) at the annual Elite Team Cup competition in Greensboro, North Carolina.

All nine regions select a team of six gymnasts to compete for the team title.

The year-long process to make the team includes attending a training camp where

the region elite coaching staff evaluate the 16 selected athletes.

The Region 2 team finished seventh, which “may sound unimpressive,” says coach Rob Saliski, but, he added, “our region has a history of being dead last, so this was a great finish. Austin was in the lineup for rings and high bar and was our highest rings score. He did an amazing job.”

Another season highlight was the annual MAC Open — held each President’s Day weekend. This beloved event, where athletes show off their skills on their home turf, is a herculean, all hands-on-deck effort. “This year’s MAC Open was one of the smoothest I can remember,” says Saliski. In order to pull it off, athlete families each commit to 16 or more volunteer hours (for a total of more than 1,000 hours), and coaches and staff pretty much live at the gym all weekend. This is especially generous of girls team head coach Rob Petit, who spends his birthday working the meet. This year, the MAC Open attracted nearly 1,700 spectators and raised upward of $34,000, which directly supports the MAC Gymnastics program and team athletes.

Keep Portland Beautiful

While it takes a lot to put on the meet, it is definitely a labor of love. “MAC Open is a long-standing tradition and loved by the entire gymnastics community,” notes MAC Gymnastics Booster President Rose Wolfe. The team finals showcase routines by level 8 athletes and higher and brings many non-competing athletes to the floor to cheer them on. This year, the boys team came a mere point away from winning the title for the first time since 2014. “It was a great finish, and we were extremely happy to have pulled out a second place,” says Saliski.

For competitions away from the club, the girls optional team traveled to Phoenix in January for the Arizona Grand meet, and to Salt Lake City for the Epic Invitational. In addition to soaking up some winter sunshine, the girls had the opportunity to watch coach Cassandra Jusino’s alma mater gymnastics team, Arizona State University, compete. “It was my first year traveling for meets, and it was really nice to bond with my team and to see how gymnasts from other states and regions compete,” says level 7 gymnast Violet Gullung. “It puts you out of your comfort zone, in a good way.”

ATHLETICS

Aidan Kilbane and Stephen Mercier MAC Gymnastics ended strong at the State Championships, where a coach and two members of the boys team were honored with awards: Stephen Mercier, as Oregon’s compulsory coach of the year; Aidan Kilbane, as compulsory athlete of the year; and Adam Wolfe, as boys optional gymnast of the year. All three were humbled and delighted by the unexpected accolades. “It meant a lot to get the award but even more because Stephen won coach of the year and Joseph [Gleeson] and Isaac [Rheingold] won all-around for their age groups, and our entire team finished second overall,” says Kilbane. “It was a really good day.” His mom, Lauren Kilbane, was equally impressed: “The guys are really tight, and the coaches are just awesome.

They are so invested and caring; they really should be nominated for sainthood.”

Congratulations to all the amazing athletes and coaches. Many thanks for the dedication and hard work put in by all the gymnasts, coaches, staff, parents and guardians who make the MAC Gymnastics program the outstanding, welcoming, supportive home away from home that it is for each athlete. The yearly early-June intensive cleaning and revamp of the gymnastics gym is now taking place. On Monday, June 17, both girls and boys teams will move to their summer schedules, many of them practicing 12-27 hours per week, as they gear up for the 2020 session, seeking to bolster their roster of skills, push their limits and fly high.

MAC Walk Fact: Want to hike to the summit of a volcano that’s at the farthest point from the center of the earth? (It’s even further than the summit of Mount Everest.) Due to the bulge of the earth at the equator, that’s Ecuador’s Mount Chimborazo.

From the Archives

On the Pitch O

n June 22, 1895, a Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club team faced off against “Portland” — likely the Portland Athletic Club of the 1890s, not to be confused with the Portland Athletic Club that was founded in 1975 — in a cricket match on Multnomah Field.

Cricket, along with football, was one of the two initial sports that MAAC offered at the time of its formation. Popular with British, Australian and Canadian immigrants in Portland and the Pacific Northwest, cricket failed to attract the attention and interest from the general population that football did. The MAAC team lasted less than a decade, with most club cricket teams in the region folding by 1900.

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

Why Providence?

I grew up in Portland, so the opportunity to return home after more than 20 years away to join the Pacific Northwest’s leading cardiac program was very appealing.

I embrace what it means to be part of Providence – a truly Mission-driven organization with a strong set of core values. After marrying my wife, Tracy, coming home to Providence was the best decision of my life.

What is your dream for Providence Heart Institute?

The successes of our heart institute go back more than 50 years and continue today. We remain the largest provider of cardiovascular services in Oregon, and we deliver the most advanced technologies for our patients through early clinical trials. We also feel strongly about our commitment to preventing heart disease. Our goal is to move upstream before patients need our specialized and advanced services. My dream is to be a national leader in both arenas.

Attend Black & White Ball Sept. 12 on the field at Providence Park

ProvidenceFoundations.org/b&wball

What are your top initiatives for the coming year?

We’re working on many areas of cardiac innovation, but perhaps the most exciting project involves our plans to launch a heart transplant program. We’ve long provided the full spectrum of cardiac care except for heart transplant.

While transplant is not a high-volume program, it’s a critical therapy for selected patients with advanced disease.

My team and I feel it’s important that the transplant option is available for the patients we’re privileged to serve.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

To put it plainly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the generous support of our donor community. We have launched multiple programs in research, clinical care and cardiac wellness with the help of philanthropy. Our donors help us innovate, grow programs and – very importantly – attract physicians from around the country. We are extremely grateful for our donors’ generosity, and we always are mindful of using their gifts wisely.
