ow would you spend $6,193,681 next year on maintenance, equipment and capital projects at the club? By the way, the requests you’re considering total nearly $7 million. That’s the challenge the Horstkotte Property Committee David president has been wrestling with since late September. Maintaining our vast facility at the level members demand is a delicate balancing act, an expensive proposition, and a valuable investment in the future of our club’s infrastructure.

In mid October, the Property Committee completed its work recommending a capital budget within the $6.19 million allowance. Since then, the Budget and Finance Committee has been reviewing operating budget requests in addition to the Property Committee’s capital budget recommendation and recommends the proposed final budget for consideration by the board at the end of November.

That concludes a budget process that began five months ago in June, when nearly 20 sport committees began developing their individual budget requests for Athletic Committee review in July and August. It’s a very lengthy, somewhat cumbersome process, but it allows for input from a host of constituencies and plenty of time for the keen eyes of both members and staff to sharpen their pencils and work to balance the needs of our club.

Senior Forum Ardith Stensland, Chris Smith and Nadja Lilly, all members of the Wellness Committee, decided they’d like to gather a few club members together and toss around some ideas about how to better serve MAC’s senior community. The end result was 110 members, whose average age was 76, joining an energized forum moderated by trustees Janice Marquis and Marlis Miller.

Presented with the spectrum of club social offerings, the group learned that seniors comprise more than 50 percent of the attendees at more than half of MAC’s social activities, including 100 classes and workshops and 130 social events held each year. Athletic offerings vary from Stretch for Life and Balance Class to Pickle Ball and Nutritional Counseling.

An astounding 51 Water Fitness classes are

offered each week! Finally, the group heard about the many methods members can choose to receive desired communications from the club about their individual areas of interest.

The floor was then opened up so we could brainstorm ideas for senior programs and activities. The breadth of suggestions was amazing; day and overnight trips, Ashland Shakespearean trips, bridge for beginners, using my iPhone, computer or Facebook, senior “Boot Camp” and strength-building, various support groups, intro to dance, seniorpaced hikes and walks, movie nights – and that just touches the surface.

One suggestion that received an enthusiastic response was the creation of a senior committee to perhaps consolidate, coordinate and promote programs and activities appropriate to this growing demographic.

Stensland, Smith and Lilly appear to have plenty of assistance to help move this process forward. As Joe Loprinzi often said, “Old age won’t catch you if you keep moving!”

Wellness Speaking of wellness, hearty congratulations are due Keri Donovan, MAC Wellness Coordinator. Keri’s program received the North American Association of Club Athletic Directors Award for 2014-15 Health and Wellness Program of the Year. For a program less than two years old, that’s quite an accomplishment.

Happy Thanksgiving As the holiday season approaches, be sure to keep in mind the magic of Executive Chef Philippe Boulot when planning your Thanksgiving Dinner. In addition to dining in our stunningly remodeled ballroom, remember that takeout meals are available to help with your in-home celebration. See page 13 for more information.

2016 Trustee Nominees Many thanks to immediate past president Darcy Henderson and her fellow Nominating Committee members for providing such a solid slate of 2016 trustee nominees. David Brezinski, John Helmer III, D’Anne O’Neil and Grant Yoshihara have broad occupational backgrounds and have each chaired long-standing major committees at the club. The group has a combined 108 years of club membership providing a great perspective with which to lead the club in the next three years. Please be sure to thank them in advance for their coming service when you spot them around the club. WM november 2015

ne of the greatest lessons I want our children to learn is the value of how best to communicate with one another and with other family members, friends and future employers. In this age of technology, simple communication Norm Rich seems to be so efficient General Manager and easy through every channel but the spoken word. Sure, much of society texts, Tweets, posts to Facebook, or uses some form of nonverbal communication, but your club allows you the opportunity to communicate the old-fashioned way. A private club is all about making friends, working out with them, competing against them, dining with them, and sharing opportunities.

Our immediate family of five is separated by thousands of miles and living in four different states. When dining, we try to remind one another that personal time together is limited, and those precious moments with one another cannot be replaced. Face Time – Apple’s nextbest substitute – is just not the same!

I believe we can never communicate well enough with our membership. While we continually work to improve communications with members; our job is never done. We always want to do the most we can for our membership, and keeping you informed and engaged is a very important goal. The first step in better communicating with members started last year with the introduction of At Your Service. We wanted a one-stop shopping center where members could accomplish whatever they needed. Our At Your Service team owns your requests and questions, and they strive to immediately get back to you with the answers.

The most important part of our goal is to establish a website that works well, informs appropriately, and allows members to easily engage in their daily activities. The new website, which will be unveiled soon, is a partnership between the Communications Committee, the Communications Department, members and staff, who built it from ground up and make it a great tool for your everyday needs and wants. Supporting the website construction and administration are Digital Marketing Manager Chris Zoucha and Web Coordinator Jenna Miller, who are working with administrative coordinators to update everything on the website to ensure it is current, relevant and necessary. The addition of a Marketing

Strategist is an effort to streamline the communication process, make it more effective, and allow us to be timelier with members’ requests.

Thanksgiving Traditions Every Thanksgiving, our immediate family makes every effort possible to get together in person to enjoy family time together. I encourage our members to spend time at your club celebrating the fruits of the harvest season and engaging with family and friends.

Join fellow members and their families all day on Thanksgiving for our traditional buffet, or have our culinary staff prepare a feast to take home and celebrate, so you don’t have to spend all day cooking and washing dishes. Our Athletic Department can help you before and after the feast to get into shape, burn some calories, and set priorities for the new year.

Managers Conference at MAC This summer, I visited Los Angeles to attend the City Athletic Club Managers conference, hosted by the Jonathan and California Clubs. It was nice to return to my former home and the Jonathan Club, which I managed for five years. This conference assembles club managers from the finest clubs throughout America. The hospitality was some of the best in the country, and defines what clubs are all about. I truly felt at home, much as our members feel whenever they come to MAC. I am proud to say that my fellow managers agreed MAC is a perfect fit to host next year’s conference, as part of our 125th anniversary celebration. We have a chance to show off our club and share with them all Portland and the Pacific Northwest have to offer in July.

My fellow club managers have not been to Portland for 18 years. Our club is admired by our industry; this is a chance to show them why our members love their club so much.

Celebrating 125 Speaking of our 125th anniversary, the 125th ad-hoc committee has worked tirelessly over the past 18 months to make our year of celebration something special, and to witness what our 26 founders had in mind when they formed our association. We will host 12 national and regional tournaments celebrating sports. Social committees never miss an opportunity to throw a great party, and our food and beverage team is eager to push more than they ever have to make this year of celebration special. Festivities begin at the Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 2, and conclude the day before our Annual Meeting in 2017. WM november 2015

Club Scoreboard

Honoring MAC members for placing first, second or third in state, regional, national or international athletic competitions, or members who have qualified for nationals in events that qualify for championship funding.

y family often asks questions of one another at the dinner table. What made you proud today? What made you sad? One of the questions we ask often is particularly appropriate this postharvest, Thanksgiving Ed Stoner Athletic Director time of year”: For what are you grateful?

It’s a good exercise in appreciation, respect and humility. It’s a question that can lead to simplistic and ironic answers, such as being grateful for a sunny day or to having seen the Grateful Dead on tour in their prime.

Or it can be as deep as the appreciation for parents, mentors and teachers who have helped shape who we are and helped guide us in life. What it most frequently forces me to do is see how fortunate I am to only have to focus on the top portion of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. There has always been food on the table, a roof over my head and a loving supporting family around me; so all I have to really worry about it my self-esteem and personal goals, which truly is something for which to be thankful. Especially as Portland wrestles with homelessness, strained food banks and addiction issues, self-actualization as a worry seems rather silly.

With that in mind, I’m grateful for the opportunity to help lead such an amazing organization and membership. Like anything in life, there are certainly challenging days of limited funds and space, conflicting opinions, and the like. For instance, a recent computer server crash at MAC had me frustrated in that we had no email access and no calendar feature. It felt like flying blind; however, it was the question of gratefulness that got me to refocus on what I could do and what I had, rather than what I did not. That led to this article, because I could still access the word processor. Working at a place where the focus is on building life-long friendships and health is certainly something for which to be grateful, and not something I take lightly.

So during this time of Thanksgiving, I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing club; and hope to see you around it this month enjoying its bountiful offerings. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB Senior member Bob Howard recently received the presitgious Distinguished Service Award from the Pacific Northwest division of the U.S. Tennis Association.

The award is given out every five years to USTA committee and board members in recognition of distinguished volunteer service. Howard has served on the USTA Sportsmanship Committee for the past five years. The Committee arbitrates the complaints, working with both parents and young players to help them understand and observe the rules of tennis before they become adults. Sometimes these complaints require hours of arbitration and months of work. Good sportsmanship needs to be a goal of all young people as they mature into adulthood.

Howard also has volunteered for the Portland After School Tennis and Education program, an after-school program for underserved youth, for the past seven years, and he continues to donate his time. Working together with Portland Parks & Recreation, the City of Portland, USTA, LRS Architects, and R&H Construction, Howard was the driving force behind the recent court resurfacing and renovation of St. Johns Racquet Club.

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

Heather Bulloch recently joined the MAC Business Office as the new controller. Previous to joining MAC, Bulloch worked at Waggener Edstrom Communications as an accounting manager for the U.S. and European entities. Her background includes working in public accounting, institutional investment firms and working for a year as a controller in Geneva, Switzerland. Bulloch grew up in Eastern Oregon on a wheat ranch, moved to the west side to attend Linfield College and knew that Portland was the place for her. Bulloch and her husband, Scott, have two amazing kids, Belle and Will, who keep them busy. They enjoy traveling, visiting parks and trying Portland’s amazing restaurants.

This season, Justin Rom joins the MAC Climbing Team coaching staff.

Rom started working at MAC in the Aquatics Department four years ago, lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons, before moving to work in the Outdoor Department.

He has been setting routes, teaching classes and helping with the team for more than two years.

He now joins the coaching staff in an official capacity. Originally from California, Justin began climbing for his senior project in high school and never stopped. He has a great deal of outdoor climbing experience in areas such as Smith Rock, Yosemite and Red Rock Canyon. He also is a dedicated bike commuter, avid water polo player, and amateur comedian.

Chi Harris is the newest addition to the MAC Climbing Team coaching staff. Previous to working at MAC, Chi worked five years at Club Sport as an assistant, and eventually head coach of the climbing team program. He was born in Houston, spent his childhood in Raleigh, N.C., and lived in Sherwood from his teenage years onward.

Chi has been rock climbing for 11 years, including two years as a youth competitor, and continues to climb in adult competitions across the Pacific Northwest. He recently graduated from Portland State University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a certificate in Athletic and Outdoor Industry Marketing.

Luis Vargas recently joined MAC as a cycling member coach. His love of cycling extends across most disciplines and forms: bike travel, road, mountain, cyclocross and commuting.

He has developed and managed cycling trips on six continents for travel companies including REI and Backroads. Some of Vargas’ favorite moments on the bike have been cycling across Cuba, a sixday stage race in Namibia, and the Portland cyclocross season. He is the Chief Brand Officer and President of Travel for the Leftlane Sports family of brands, which includes Portland-based The Clymb. He and wife Joanne have twin 4-yearold daughters, Ava and Olivia, and a 2-year-old son, Dylan. november 2015

Brooke Ashleigh Santos recently joined MAC as a new swim coach. Santos, 26, originally is from London, and has been in the United States for eight years. She came to California on a swimming scholarship to Fresno Pacific University, where she was swim team captain for four out of her five years of competition.

“The college experience taught me so many values,” Santos says.

“Being part of an amazing team and winning individual and team titles grew my love for the sport.” At MAC, she is excited to coach the pre-competitive group. Santos enjoys working out, and also runs her own fitness and nutrition business. Her hobbies include swimming, beach days, relaxing with friends and family, and reading.

A Smarter Website is on the Way You spoke and we listened. Look for a new MAC website in 2016.

I

n 2016, MAC releases a new website born and bred with you in mind. The website includes effortless court reservations for the devoted tennis players, painless class registrations, and many other new and improved features that make the MAC online experience burden-free.

In the past, the club has struggled with balancing the extensive volume of active information and finding a website that would allow our MAC community to perform registrations and reservations by the thousands.

The new website is developed with more help from members than ever before. Using focus groups and committees, this version is built with more member feedback than any other previous website.

Building a strong foundation for the website is key in meeting current member expectations and preparing for the expectations of future members. With any quality product, we are focused on making sure each step is carefully crafted.

Moving forward, your MAC online experience is all about you. Your habits. Your goals.

Your classes. Your interests. The website is customized individually to fit you. WM

ADMINISTRATIVE Committee Corner What does a great committee candidate look like? How about Jan Jackson or Richard Horswell.

These two active members of the committee system have both won MAC’s prestigious McAlpin Award, and are closely involved in a wide variety of activities.

Richard Horswell Committee Service • Entertainment • Member Events • Communications • Culture and Style (chair) • Social Activities (served as committee’s first chair)

How he got involved: I like to know what’s going on around the club. I’ve always been more of a social member. It seemed like a valuable way to get to know an expanded circle of members.

Advice for getting involved: It may seem like a lot of work, but it truly is about strategy and making the member experience for everyone as good as it can be. It is very rewarding to see people enjoying projects that you’ve worked on.

Jan Jackson Committee Service • Midday Luncheon • Member Events • House • Membership • Communities

How she got involved: A friend of mine, Biddy Wolf, was on the Midday Luncheon Committee, and told me they had a spot open.

I’d always wanted to give it a try, and before I knew it, I was really involved.

Advice for getting involved: It may seem like a lot of work, but it truly is about strategy and making the member experience for everyone as good as it can be. It is very rewarding to see people enjoying projects that you’ve worked on.

In Memoriam Anthony L. Casciato Nov. 1, 1917-Sept. 7, 2015 Senior preferred member and retired Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Anthony “Tony” L. Casciato died Sept. 7 of congestive heart failure. He was 97.

Tony was born Nov. 1, 1917, in Portland.

He and his twin brother, Alfredo (who died in infancy), were the fifth and sixth children of Giuseppe and Teresina Casciato. Tony graduated from Commerce (later Cleveland) High School. He attended Multnomah College and the University of Portland graduating from the latter in 1941.

He then worked for the Bonneville Power Administration until he was drafted in 1942.

After seeing service during World War II, Tony studied law at Northwestern College of Law (later Lewis & Clark College of Law). In 1950, he married Dolores “Dede” Carlo. They had four children. He was admitted to the bar in 1951. He practiced law until 1971, when he was appointed to the municipal bench (later the District/Circuit Court) for Multnomah County. He retired from the bench in 1993.

Love of family, friends, the law and sports characterized Tony’s life. A quintessential family man, he instilled in his children a sense of fair play, love of learning, ferocious work ethic, and an abiding loyalty to family and friends. His love for his old neighborhood of South Portland and its denizens never left him, and to the very end, nothing made him happier than recounting stories from his youth.

He considered the law a noble profession and saw it as a tool for helping others.

Sports, particularly baseball, were both a passion and a solace. A gifted athlete, he played semi-pro baseball in his youth and never lost his love for the game or his favorite team, the New York Yankees. One of the great experiences of his life was attending the Yankees fantasy baseball camp at the age of 82 with his beloved son, Peter. He was a devoted member of MAC, where he played squash for many years.

Tony enjoyed the company of others. He was particularly good with very young children, entering into their lives and interests with enthusiasm and gusto. To older children and young adults he was an approachable father figure, someone who could offer thoughtful advice and sympathetic understanding.

In his professional capacity, he was a mentor and guide to legions of young lawyers, many of whom credit their subsequent success to his wise counsel. Those who were old or sick found in him a sympathetic presence and a ready listener.

Tony was preceded in death by his wife, Dede; and son, Peter. He is survived by his son, Tom; daughters, Mary Jo Binker and Nancy

Casciato; daughters-in-law, Regina Casciato and Kathleen Hughes; sons-in-law, Roland Binker and Kenn Walton; six grandchildren; and many devoted relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the University of Portland.

Tanya Collier Nov. 8, 1946-Aug. 21, 2015 Senior preferred member Tanya Collier passed away at home peacefully with her family after struggling with a debilitating neurological illness on Aug. 21. She was 68.

Tanya is survived by her husband, Greg Hartman; son, Tim Collier and his wife, Deb DiPiero; daughter, Robin Zander; granddaughters, Nikita Noelcke and her husband, Thomas, Tatyana Collier, Kyla Zander and Mia Collier; and grandson, Alex Collier. In her own words: Let me tell you about a journey that I could never have made alone. It took thousands of people over at least two centuries to lay the groundwork that enabled me to add my little piece to it. It’s the story of a quest-that others who come after us might have a brighter future.

College was a word that was never mentioned to me as I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s in a Southeast Portland lower-middle-class family.

My mother did not finish high school and it was her dream that I would do so and, thus, be well educated – for a girl. I did.

Then I married at 18, had my first child at 19, and my second at 22. Just as I was expected to do. Even though there was a long historical continuum of women trying to improve their lot in life, by the mid-20th century the role of women was pretty well cemented. As the feminist movement slowly unfolded, it dawned on me that I could actually become something in addition to a wife and mother. I went back to school at age 26, starting at Clackamas Community College. I graduated, went on to Portland State University and earned my bachelor’s degree in political science. I met and married Greg Hartman, a man who encouraged me to be all I could be. He even let me keep my own name, something that women didn’t have an automatic right to do in 1979.

I ran for the state Legislature and lost. It dawned on me that elective office might not be the only, or the best, or the surest way to either earn a living or make my mark. I went back to Portland State and got my master’s degree in public administration.

Public administration was exactly the right place for me ... I was taken seriously and (it) made me brave enough to try, and succeed, at the things that my mother would never have dreamed possible. As this was going on for me, personally, women from Portland and the Willamette Valley formed the Oregon Women’s Political Caucus. Women were making 59 cents for every dollar a man earned. Abortion, now

known as “a woman’s right to choose,” was neither universally available nor legal.

In 1982, I marched from the North Park Blocks to Terry Schrunk Plaza in support of the Equal Rights Amendment. My grandmother was right beside me. She said, “Tanya, I won’t see it in my lifetime, but you might in yours.” She was 81 years old. Well, I won’t see it in my lifetime either; nevertheless, progress was, and continues to be, made. We started seeing a large variety of occupations opening to women. More women became lawyers, and the women lawyers became judges. More and more women started serving at every level of elective office, making laws more friendly to women. I was elected to the Metro regional government and served seven years. I was twice elected Multnomah County commissioner.

Someday maybe my grandchildren will take the Walk of the Heroines, read the stories written here and be motivated to be all that they can be. And it will have come to be, in part, because my generation marched, worked for change, and created possibilities for women that never before existed. I want to encourage them to join their own revolution, however it may present itself, and to become all that they can be. It happens one small step at a time.”

(Excerpted from the Walk of the Heroines at Portland State University).

In Tanya’s memory, a donation to Planned Parenthood Portland is suggested.

Earl W. Redd Feb. 28, 1919-Sept. 27, 2015 Earl Redd, adoring father, cherished grandfather, best friend and loving husband, was a long-time member of MAC since the 1940s.

He died, with loved ones by his side, at the young age of 96; still working 50 days prior to his death.

Earl was born in Springfield, Minn., and when his family decided to move out west, relocate and put down new roots, they did so when their car broke down in Fort Collins, Colo. Earl graduated from Cache La Poudre High School in 1937 and attended Colorado State University on a baseball scholarship.

After one year Earl was determined to try out for the Portland Beavers. With $20 in his pocket, he headed west and arrived a few days later still holding his $20.

Earl was a charmer and a salesman to the fullest extent. He loved MAC and spent many days and nights there. He resided in the boarding rooms at the club in the 1940s. Earl was a 32nd Mason and a member of the Al Kader Shrine. He also was an athlete, playing baseball, football and basketball. He was an avid downhill skier, golfer and was a natural at any sport he attempted. He would clear the pool table when given the opportunity, but fishing was his passion, and he did it well.

Earl has three children who were his life: MAC members Eric Redd of Palm Springs, Calif., Kurt Redd of Vancouver, Wash., and Kristin Redd of Canby. Earl also was a “silly” grandfather to his four grandchildren, who worshipped his every move. Everyone who knew him loved him.

Reuben Royce Roth May 12, 1929-Oct. 3, 2015 Senior preferred member Reuben Roth, an active 50-year member of Multnomah Athletic Club, died Oct. 3. He was 86.

Reuben loved MAC. Whether the weight room, the Men’s Bar or other activities, his social life revolved around MAC.

Reuben was born May 12, 1929, in Albany.

He was the youngest of nine children of Frank and Ida Roth. Reuben was a born-and-raised Oregonian. He spent his youth growing up mostly on farms throughout the Willamette Valley. He loved what Oregon had to offer, whether it was fishing for trout and salmon, digging for razor clams, hunting for ducks and pheasants, or skiing at Mount Hood and Mount Bachelor. He was a true outdoorsman.

Reuben joined the Merchant Marines at 17 after graduating from Roosevelt High School, and served in the Military Sea Transport. From 1945-1952, Reuben traveled in the Pacific Theater, including Japan, Korea and China, and then in Europe. He obtained the rank of First Class Seaman and is mentioned in a new book called Adventures of a Young Merchant Sailor by his old friend Capt. James Scott Bernard.

He married Melba Haugen in 1952 and worked for her father, Ole Haugen. Ole had a garage and car lot on MLK Boulevard (then Union Ave). In 1961, he opened his own used car lot across the street from Haugen Automotive and began his career as a car dealer. In 1969, he acquired his first new car dealership, called Roth Volkswagen. He eventually owned seven new car agencies. He retired from the automobile business in 1991.

In 1991, Reuben married Sally Cole.

Reuben loved to ride horses with Sally at

Steve and Jean’s ranch in Montana. They were divorced in 2004.

Reuben’s three sons, Stephen, Eric and Michael, remained close with him throughout his life. Stephen and his wife, Jean, are Portland residents and MAC members. Eric is married to Kirsten Lauersen, they live in San Jose. Michael is married to Verena Buhler from Lichtenstein; they live in Waedenswil, Switzerland.

Reuben had six grandchildren. Ben and Pepa (Steve and Jean), Jack and Maya (Eric and Kirsten) and Martin and Lea (Michael and Verena). This past year, Lea was able to spend her sophomore year at Lincoln High School, and was able to enjoy both MAC and time with her grandfather. Reuben’s grandchildren loved him, and were fortunate to be able to spend a great deal of time with him.

Reuben met Lenora Duden at MAC in 2007. Lenora is a lifelong Portland resident and also a 50-year MAC member. The two became a well-known couple at MAC, enjoying many dinners at the Men’s Bar and Sports Pub. They also enjoyed their Saturday morning breakfasts throughout Portland. Since they met eight years ago, they spent virtually every day together.

A celebration of life ceremony will be held at MAC Saturday Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. WM

LET IT SNOW! MAC’S OUTDOOR DEPARTMENT KICKS OFF THE WINTER SEASON WITH SKI MOVIE NIGHT IN NOVEMBER.

S

ure, we’ve heard the panicked reports about another warm winter. We saw maps of the dreaded “blob” of warm water parked off the Oregon coast. And yes, we kept our sunscreen handy well into October.

But we’re also optimists who happen to have a copy of this year’s Farmer’s Almanac, and it’s calling for a big winter. Hey, 225 years of experience counts for something, right?

Regardless of where the snow falls, MAC can help you get there. Whether it’s a bus to Mount Hood, a long weekend in Montana or a discounted trip overseas, MAC has a program to help you make the most of winter. And it starts with Ski Movie Night.

The Outdoor Activities Program shows Matchstick Production’s latest and greatest film: Fade to Winter.

A leader in action sports filmmaking, Matchstick brings the best athletes in the world to exotic and remote locations to capture astounding footage.

This fun, family-friendly event is held in The Ballroom on Tuesday, Nov. 17, and is open to members and their guests. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and tickets are $15 when purchased in advance at theMAC.com.

Participants enjoy a casual dinner and have an opportunity to see cutting edge equipment displays. In addition, Mt. Hood Meadows is on hand taking season-pass photos. If you purchased a season pass, come and get it before the rush! There is also information available about MAC’s impressive competitive and recreational ski programs.

SNOWSHOES: NO SKIS? NO PROBLEM.

Members don’t need downhill skis to frolic in Oregon’s plentiful powder. MAC Walking and Hiking schedules weekly snowshoe outings on Wednesdays from December through April. Saturday snowshoeing is scheduled if there is sufficient interest. Cross-country ski outings are offered about once a month, usually on Wednesdays, starting in January and often offered in concert with snowshoeing.

Destinations are determined by snow levels and conditions, road/driving hazards, weather and leader preferences. On the rare occasion that Portland gets snow, snowshoers head to Forest Park. Snowshoe destinations include popular trails, as well as off-trail explorations, in the Mount Hood National Forest, Mount St. Helens and Central Oregon. november 2015

SKI TEAM SHOOTS FOR PODIUM Whether a skier’s goal is to learn to enjoy the full breadth of the mountain experience with family and friends, to improve skiing and ski racing skills, or to strive for success in local, regional, national or international competition, the MAC Ski Racing team has a program that fits the bill. MAC Ski Racing programs have long fulfilled the club’s mission to enrich lives, foster friendships and build upon its traditions of excellence.

Now, it’s time for MAC Ski Racing to reach for the next level and aim for the podium.

This fall, the MAC Ski Racing program is vying to become the first ski racing club in the Pacific Northwest to achieve “podium” status through our sport’s governing body, the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA).

It is a rigorous process to align MAC’s ski racing programs with the best principles and practices of the USSA and the U.S. Ski Team pipeline. During the process, the director of sport education at USSA, along with other USSA staff and consultants, make assessments in the areas of leadership, finance and funding, club culture, communications, human resources, athlete protection, club programming and club logistics.

Participation in the USSA Podium Club process benefits our ski racers and MAC, at large, through education, certification and recognition.

In addition to optimizing operations by learning best practices of the USSA and the nation’s other premier ski racing teams, MAC’s coaching staff gains access to full club development materials, competition guides and athlete resources of the USSA. MAC’s lead coaching staff already has taken advantage of USSA training, receiving the highest levels of certifications directly from the USSA and U.S. Ski Team.

Register now

Registration is open for MAC Ski programs. Register by Sunday, Nov. 15, to secure the current pricing, which increases by 5 percent after that date.

The final deadline to register is Tuesday, Dec. 15. Visit theMAC.com for details or reach out to Program Supervisor Justin Rackley at jrackley@themac.com.

PERFORMANCE V. RESULTS In skiing and other sports, athletes, parents and coaches should focus on more than just the final result.

I

n sports, it’s all about winning, it’s all about glory, and it’s all about being the best.

While that might be true, a better place to start would be to ask ourselves: How do we achieve those things? This is the dichotomy between two correlated but distinctly different ideas in performance and results. Performance is an action, while results are an outcome. In skiing, it is very easy for parents, athletes and coaches to focus on results as a way to track improvement. The results of the race are, after all, the determining factor in who reaches the podium, who wins a championship, and who gets the glory. There’s only one problem with focusing on improvement in this way; the athlete does not have control over her results.

So what do they have control over? While the answer isn’t directly their performance, performance is something they have much more control over than their results. An athlete does have direct control over what he or she does with their training, their nutrition and their attitude. These are the factors that make up an athlete’s performance. Sasha Rearick, head men’s alpine coach of the US Ski Team, defines performance as “on-demand execution of what has been learned.” Now we’re talking.

Performance is something that can be evaluated and improved upon in training. This is why it is vital to understand that to have true learning, where skill, ability, technique and tactics are not only improved, but can be performed again and again, we must focus our energies in training on challenging the athletes in areas of deficiency, to create ownership of what is being learned so that it can become routine and replicable in competition. In this way, we begin to race like we train, to perform what has already been learned, to execute what we already have done in training on race day. Over time, this focus on improving performance in training, and executing performance in competition will lead to improved results.

Finally, for an athlete to perform at her peak ability level, and bring the expectations of performance and results closer together, it is vitally important to understand that it is impossible for an athlete to perform above their own ability level. Former USSA Sport Education Director Jon Nolting once said, “Preparation is the essential ingredient that brings performance and results closer together. Often the mistake made with a results focus is that the athlete, coach or parent expects that a result is possible that would require a performance the athlete has never achieved before.” The net result? An unrealistic expectation set by either the coach, athlete, or parent, which sets the athlete up for failure before she even leaves the starting gate. Instead, when the coach, athlete, and parent focus on the process of preparation and steadily improving performance, something interesting happens. The athlete builds confidence in her improved skiing, and sets herself up for greater success.

Gripping Portrait of a War-Torn City In November, the Evening Literary Group reads An Unnecessary Woman, by Lebanese-American author Rabih Alameddine. The narrator, Aaliya Saleh, is a 72-year-old woman with a “blind lust for the written word.” Divorced early and estranged from her family, she worked in a quiet bookstore in Beirut before leading a life of increasing solitude with age. Through Aaliya’s voice, we learn about the war and violence in Beirut that leads her to sleep with an AK47, and about her love for the city despite its turmoil.

Join the Evening Literary Readers at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, at MAC. Contact Member Events at 503-517-7265 with questions.

Dynamic Volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest 9-10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9 Volcanoes are a dominant part of the environment in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, Portland is the only city in the lower 48 states with a volcano inside city limits. Oregon has more active volcanoes than any state except Alaska, including cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes and calderas, with each one having its own story. Learn more about these volcanoes and about the recently discovered super volcano that blew up in central Oregon 31 million years ago near Prineville. Presented by Scott Burns, geology professor at Portland State University.

is co-sponsored by the MAC Wellness program. Speaker Sharon Lacey has had more adventures in the past 10 years than most people experience in a lifetime. At age 50, fearing that she might be the next victim of the Alzheimer’s Disease that runs in her family, this former national award-winning teacher left the classroom to pursue her dream of doing stand-up comedy. She’s now a comedian performing across the United States and Canada. She’s been to Iraq twice to entertain U.S. troops and just returned from her fourth comedy tour of Africa, where she performed for Ugandan audiences in two of their tribal languages.

MelloMacs

Singers Dive Right Into the Holidays The green-apple crispness of November’s evenings will be warmed, in part, by this month’s MelloMac harmonies. Oh, that and trying to squeeze two rehearsals and two shows into the three weeks preceding Thanksgiving. Every MelloMac understands that our first few audiences benefit greatly from their various levels of hearing loss, and each audience member realizes that the music is coming from our hearts more so than our talents. This season’s music features pop hits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

After Thanksgiving, Monday night rehearsals begin for the new holiday show, so we hope the turkey- and football-induced torpors have abated somewhat by then, as it will be an exciting show.

If your tryptophan-related lethargy has diminished by 7 p.m. Monday, wobble on in to the third-floor Activities Classroom, pick up a songbook, and sing along with the MelloMacs. The group would love to have you join us! Oh, and football fans, if you must listen to the game during rehearsals, we ask that you refrain from “spiking” your songbooks, and we thank you in advance.

ry this 5.5-mile walking loop from MAC for a change of scene from your usual workout. With its pedestrian paths, it’s great for a fast pace, and can be walked in less than two hours. But the cultural and architectural gems along the route could also make for a longer urban exploration, with stops at food carts, pocket parks, cafes, coffee shops and farmers markets in the Park Blocks and South Waterfront. Terrain includes sidewalks and pedestrian/bike paths with gentle climbing from the river to MAC. You’ll cross the Willamette twice: first on the new Tilikum Crossing. It’s the nation’s only bridge for transit, bikes and walkers – but not cars – and has already garnered nationwide attention.

You return to the west side on the Hawthorne Bridge.

The hike From the Turnaround, turn left on Salmon and right on 18th Avenue. At 18th and Main, notice the building at the southeast corner.

With landmarks, cafes and pocket parks along the route, this hike can also make for a longer urban adventure. to Oregon from a far-off port as ship ballast.

After it was unloaded, residents often carted such rock off to use in retaining or foundation walls. Today, ships use water for ballast.

At 18th and Jefferson, look right: Jefferson follows Tanner Creek (now in a culvert).

Beginning in the 1840s, this stretch of roadway was a farm-to-market passage that brought Tualatin Valley produce through the Tualatin Mountains and into Portland. Other parts of the old market road are the Jefferson Street on-ramp to U.S. 26 and Canyon Road in Beaverton.

Stay on 18th around the traffic circle.

Before streets were platted, this was the site of Thomas Carter’s farmhouse and barn. He pastured his cattle in the hills that are now

Portland Heights. Still on 18th, walk under freeway ramps, then immediately turn left on an asphalt bike/pedestrian path. Leave this noisy path by turning right at the first opportunity, 16th Avenue, then left on Montgomery, passing great old homes. Pass over I-405, and cross 12th Avenue to enter a car-free section of the PSU campus. Stephen E. Epler Hall is on the right. Turn right to walk along its east wall, where a parklike stormwater management system ends at an art installation honoring Epler. He founded the Vanport Extension Center in 1946. That school for veterans ultimately became PSU, Oregon’s largest university.

Follow the sidewalk as it curves east to a fountain in front of Hoffman Hall. Walk east from the fountain through the Walk of the Heroines plaza. The plaza aligns with Harrison Street; keep straight on Harrison, then turn right at the South Park Blocks and pass the Branford Price Millar library, with its enormous beech tree (and restrooms inside). The tree was planted when the Park Blocks were

Athletics lined with grand old homes. The library was designed around the spectacular tree, which once grew in someone’s front yard.

Angle left through the Park Blocks toward red brick Shattuck Hall, formerly a Portland public school. Turn left on the sidewalk along Shattuck Hall’s south side (which aligns with College Street), and stop at the beautiful mini-park behind Shattuck, with its sustainable development features such as living walls and green roofs.

Stay on College, passing new student housing towers. Pass, or stop at, a food-cart pod at Fourth and College, then cross Fourth and jog left to pass through a plaza on the north side of PSU’s Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology. The plaza ends at a pedestrian walkway that used to be Third Avenue. This is part of a 54-block area where homes, places of worship and businesses were demolished in the early 1960s in Portland’s first urban renewal project. The Lovejoy Fountain dates from that era; its stark concrete lines echo eroded landscapes of the high desert.

Just beyond the Lovejoy Fountain, turn left on a pedestrian walkway (formerly Second Avenue) and right at Harrison. Follow it downhill to Harbor Drive. Cross Harbor and immediately turn right on an asphalt path. Watch for bikers. Take the path downhill, keep left at a fork, and end at Sheridan and Moody.

Go south on Moody. If you walk its east side you can relax: the many bikers along here stay on its west side. Pass Skourtes Tower, home to OHSU’s School of Dentistry, and the Collaborative Life Sciences Building, a partnership of OHSU, PSU and OSU. Restrooms are inside. Beyond the towers, turn left to walk on Tilikum Crossing’s eastbound sidewalk.

At the end of Tilikum Crossing, at Southeast Second Avenue, turn right to walk around the Portland Opera building; you’ll wind up at the south end of the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade. Walk north on the Esplanade, keeping an ear out for bikers who may want to pass. Walk under the Hawthorne Bridge and immediately take the ramp leading up to it, so you’ll be walking on its westbound sidewalk. Before you step onto the bridge, look left for bikers, who share the sidewalk with you, and keep to the right. For the first eight months of 2015, the bridge’s weekly bike count averaged 10,024 trips. Be alert.

Come off the bridge, keeping left at a fork near its end, to First and Main. Follow Main west, then turn right on 11th and left on Salmon. Walk west on Salmon to return to MAC. Visit the Walking and Hiking page at theMAC.com for a map of the hike.

Meet the group that rescued a MAC hiker in the Gorge during this Walking and Hiking presentation.

In September, dozens of intrepid runners participated in the Volcano 50 ultra-marathon.

This annual 50-kilometer race circumnavigates Mount Saint Helens, mostly on the Loowit Trail. There is 7,400 feet of elevation gain on a trail that varies from treacherous to very dangerous. In several spots, a stumble could lead to a fall of several hundred feet down a steep rocky slope or a fracture as runners stride from rock to rock over an extensive lava field.

MAC hikers have first-hand experience as to how daunting portions of this route are, since we hike on many sections of the Loowit Trail every year.

In the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens there was a huge lahar, an ice and mud flow, down the east side of the mountain. Now there are a number of deep canyons in this area. Runners and hikers have to traverse these canyons on a trail that in places is only half a foot wide on a crumbling slope.

What happens when something serious occurs on a hike or a run in this remote steep terrain far from the nearest road? If we are lucky, we have cell service at the point of the accident, but it is likely that a member of the group would have to hike out some distance to find help or a cell signal to call 911.

So if we have an emergency on Mount Saint Helens and reach 911, who is going to respond? Find out during a Walking and Hiking-sponsored presentation at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Steve Bregman, a member of the Volcano Rescue Team, gives a presentation about the history of the team and it current activities. He also demonstrates some of the equipment used in a rescue on steep terrain, and discusses the support his team provides the Volcano 50 run.

The Volcano Rescue Team is an all-volunteer organization of first responders who have to purchase all their own equipment and pay for their own training.

MAC hikers first encounter with this dedicated group was when they sent a team to assist Skamania County Emergency Medical Services in the rescue of one of our hikers in the Columbia Gorge in December 2013. We encourage hikers, runners and any interested individuals to attend this presentation. Please register to ensure enough seating.

Nine Tips for Avoiding the Holiday Creep T

he holiday season is a time for family, friends, celebrations and good food. This can lead to temptations and, at times, overindulgence. During the winter, your body craves carbohydrates, which are typically found in calorie-dense comfort foods (stuffing anyone?) To make matters worse, temptation is everywhere during the holidays, and so are food pushers. (Stop it grandma!) All of this amounts to the average person gaining about a pound during the fall/winter holiday season. This doesn’t sound like much, but the addition of a pound or two adds up over time. If this process begins at age 30, by the time a person reaches 60 they could pack on 30 to 60 pounds. This is known as “the creep.”

Here are nine tips to help you avoid overeating this holiday season: 1. Plan on not overeating. Don’t approach a celebration meal (such as Thanksgiving) as an eating competition. Your behavior/ response to any situation is influenced by your expectations. By expecting not to overeat during celebrations, you actively take control of your behavior and acknowledge that you have the power to control your intake.

2. Eat a decent breakfast and lunch. Don’t starve yourself until the big meal arrives – you are sure to overeat. Ninety-six percent of people who lose weight and keep it off eat breakfast every day.

3. Drink two or three glasses of water before the feast begins. Drinking fluids before and/or during your meal decreases the number of calories you eat before you start feeling full.

4. Eat slowly. After you consume the necessary calories for your body to function, it can take around 20 minutes for your brain to process the information and let you know you have eaten

48 | The Wınged M |

november 2015

enough. If you are eating slowly, the number of calories you consume over what your body needs is minimized.

5. Keep portions small. Serve yourself whenever possible.

People tend to be extra generous when putting food on someone else’s plate. If you have to pass your plate, be sure to say you want a small serving. Or use smaller plates to achieve instant portion control.

6. Be easy on yourself. You’re only human. One large meal is not a problem; many large meals in a row are. Furthermore, guilt can lead to depression that leads to more overeating. Start over the next day with a healthy breakfast, and be more active.

7. Remember, you can always enjoy leftovers the next day. If you enjoyed the food the first time, you will be able to enjoy it again.

8. Get some light exercise. Activity will help you keep your metabolism up and burn some of the extra calories you ate.

Remember, this can be divided into smaller bouts of exercise. If 30 or 60 minutes aren’t realistic, try 10 minutes at a time.

Anticipate excess calories and exercise before a party or dinner.

9. Set a good example. Maybe the strongest motivator of all is – help others. Making a conscious effort to set a good example to those around you can help you maintain responsible eating.

Serve the kinds of foods you’d prefer to eat, like fresh fruit or vegetable platters, and healthy choices for main and side dishes.

Schedule an appointment to get a new routine or set up a regular and consistent appointment with a MAC personal trainer to keep you in the flow of working out during the holiday season.

Rafting along the Clackamas River was one of many activities during MAC’s outdoor camps.

Outdoor activities program

Campers Experience the Pacific Northwest T his year, participation in outdoor summer camp programs reached a record high. The summer camps attracted boys and girls of all levels, from age 4-16, interested in the Outdoor Activities Program spectrum: snow, dirt, water and rock. The core curriculum of each camp focuses on the activity itself, confidence building, and the education and teambuilding opportunities that support it.

To be expected, Adventure Camp – the most coveted program – filled up first, but all were sold out. Other camp programs included indoor climbing, outdoor climbing, climbing team development, and kayak/stand-up paddling.

The camps focus on getting outside – exploring, learning, doing and experiencing their chosen discipline. “Our main thing is to make sure as many kids as interested have a ton of fun, get a lot of outdoor time, enjoy and experience the wonders of the outdoors, learn and/ or progress their outdoor skills, and stay away from TV screens and video games,” says Outdoor Department Manager Chad Failla. “Basically, our vision is that whatever your child likes to do in the outdoors, there’s a summer camp for that. Further, we want to help educate on how to keep the outdoors sustainable by teaching and practicing minimal impact, staying on trails and in designated areas, and leaving areas as we found them).”

50 | The Wınged M |

november 2015

The Outdoor Activities Programs also were designed to deliver a perfect fit for working parents, by offering a variety of options for their kids to attend more than one camp, and the opportunity to venture out and get a sense of autonomy in the outdoors without exposing them to dangerous situations. There were both half-day, and multi-day and weeklong camps offered from June through August across most disciplines.

Of course, with autonomy comes safety.

Outdoor camps are lead by MAC-certified instructors. For example, Sam Drevo, former U.S. national team kayaker and summer camp program leader, is a certified American Canoe Association whitewater instructor trainer, a Rescue 3 swift water rescue instructor, and a Red Cross lifeguard instructor. His participants gain experience with flat-water kayaks, river kayaks, inflatable kayaks, rafts and standup paddleboards. During the first two days, they learn the basics on a flat-water

lake and visit Willamette Falls. On day three, they take a river trip on the lower Clackamas River, participate in an optional art project with foam boaters that teaches hydrodynamics and river reading, and run their first easy rapid. “The kids had a blast, and were quick studies. They learned the necessary skills quickly to be able to navigate safely and have fun in the process.”

Participants attending the summer camp programs visited different local outdoor climbing areas, paddling in the Willamette and Clackamas rivers, spelunking in Ape Caves, exploring Mount St. Helens, navigating Portland’s 4T Trail, hiking the Columbia River Gorge and adventuring on Mount Hood, among other activities and sites.

What to expect next year? MAC members will see an increase in the number of opportunities to get outside with adventure camps, as OAP continues its great momentum and expands on the variety of outdoor camps offered this year. WM

Most Coveted Camp: Outdoor Adventure During these sold-out sessions, campers experienced the Pacific Northwest through hiking, visiting volcanoes, kayaking, caving, climbing, urban hiking and urban biking. No week of these camps is the same, and all provide the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the amazing Northwest summer. Campers travel outside of Portland most days and visit some of Oregon and Washington’s most pristine places.

Campers learn about the environment on Mount Hood, including volcanoes, glaciers, waterways, wetlands, plants, insects and animals. Each educational session is followed by a corresponding outdoor activity, such as hiking, rafting and scenic chairlift rides. WM

While the science regarding brain health is still developing, here are a few recommendations to keep your brain sharp.

The brain is like a muscle, so flex it.

Try new activities that challenge your thinking. Activate your brain in the morning with a crossword puzzle or Sudoku. Stimulate and soothe your brain with music.

Exercise. It increases blood flow and oxygen to your brain (which accounts for about 20 percent of our daily oxygen consumption).

Exercise also stimulates the brain’s neurons. In fact, absence of movement actually slows brain activity.

Keep stress to a minimum.

This is easier said than done, but stress is toxic to the body and brain. Stress

relievers include walking, meditating, swimming, reading, listening to music, etc.

Get adequate sleep. Besides consolidating everything you’ve learned and experienced during the day into memory, your brain also detoxes and repairs during sleep.

Eat healthy fats from cold-water fish, nuts and seeds. Avoid pesticides by eating organic and opting for foods rich in antioxidants (think of fruits with a dark skin).

Stay social. Social engagements stimulate the brain.

Here is my plan for next week. I’m having a party with close friends. I’ll serve salmon, spinach salad with blueberries, and red wine.

After dinner we’ll dance to some music, and I’ll finish the night with a good book and hope for a great night’s sleep!

Would you like more information on the role of exercise and good brain health? Please join Dance Instructor Erin Zintek and me for a workshop on Brains and Bodies in Motion the second week in November.

The best way to beat breast cancer is to find it early.

A mammogram is the gold standard for early discovery. They can find cancers up to two years before they can be felt.

100% of women will survive breast cancer if it’s detected in early stage 1 cancers.

72% of women will survive breast cancer if it’s detected later in stage 3.

It’s Prime Squash Season: Join the ‘Family’ Clean courts T

he squash community at MAC is like an extended family: many members grow up on the courts, mentored by older and wiser players, and then return when they’re parents to introduce their kids to the sport. One of the most memorable mentors in recent times has been Dick Thomas, who encouraged the up-andcoming in box league matches and tournaments, a constant presence even as he fought a hard and long battle with cancer.

Dick passed away at the age of 59 on June 30, leaving an empty spot for his friends and opponents at MAC and Portland Golf Club, where he poured a similar passion into golf. “Without exception, he was always encouraging and upbeat, even though it was clear he was going through an ordeal of his own,” says Tina Lam, whose son Gordon started playing squash at MAC in 2009, playing his first tournament when he was 7 years old.

If anything can brighten up the mood down in the subbasement, it is the newly cleaned and painted courts – a job done so thoroughly that some recommend sunglasses to handle the glaringly white walls.

They were finished just in time for the start of a robust season of adult and junior clinics. This fall, there are new cardio, squashspecific movement, and men’s and women’s drills classes. Check the calendar or contact squash pros Ashley Read (aread@themac. com) or Julian Illingworth (julian.illingworth@gmail.com) about them, and to find out about a new weekly doubles clinic aimed at bringing beginners to the game.

New member coach A big welcome to new member coach Rhea Nelson, a regular player at Lloyd Athletic Club. Nelson will focus on women’s open play and tournament involvement, and is a great resource for all things women’s squash. Email her (nelsonrh@ ohsu.edu) for information.

3-on-3 Tournament Draws Big Numbers The 32nd year of the 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament at Strohecker’s Park provided another perfect summer evening to bring the MAC community together. According to Page Mesher and Byron Zahler, it has only rained three times on the third Wednesday of August, when the tournament is always held.

We opened up the tournament to guests of members, which helped double the size to 15 teams. This, combined with families, dogs and neighborhood spectators, provided a packed crowd who dined on hamburgers, hot dogs and fine refreshments.

Player ages ranged from 18 to 55, with wily veteran Page Mesher attempting to stack the deck with two former high-school players he coached at Benson, both under 20. Although they made it to the finals, the team of Paul Noonan, Brian Currier and Mark Borgeson beat them and finished 7-0. Their balanced scoring attack and menacing defense was too much for the other competitors. Noonan was named MVP of the tournament, with “Borgy” winning his fifth 3-on-3 title in 30 years.

Early Birds

Trot for Charity with the Early Birds The Early Birds’ annual Turkey Trot on Wednesday, Nov. 25, is a chance for MAC early exercisers to win valuable door prizes by donating to an outstanding charity for children and their moms. Starting at 5:05 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25, the Early Birds sell tickets for $1 each or 6 for $5 at a table opposite the Front Desk. Cash is preferred, but tickets may be charged to your member account. All of the money from the ticket sales is donated directly to the YWCA domestic violence program.

The Early Birds have supported the YWCA for 20 years.

The Early Birds have supported the YWCA through donations since 1995, helping to provide emergency shelter and case management for women and children escaping domestic violence. Turkey Trot tickets entitle purchasers to attend the party and prize drawing that takes place the same morning in the Reading Lounge between 6:30 and 7 a.m. Prizes include lots of great services, and special food and wine for holiday celebrations, which Early Bird volunteers have collected from area merchants and restaurants. As they wait to win their prizes, ticket buyers can enjoy free breakfast foods and beverages.

Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 25, until Friday, Dec. 18, the Early Birds also collect unwrapped new toys for children and toiletries for the moms, which also benefits a YWCA program. Early Birds invite all MAC members to contribute. Donors may bring toys, soaps and other toiletries to the Turkey Trot, or leave them in a designated barrel near the Athletic Entrance.

Fitness

Joan Harmony Award Winner for 2015 Each year, an outstanding group exercise instructor is selected to receive the Joan Harmony award. Harmony was a MAC instructor whose untimely death prompted the establishment of this award, given each year to an instructor who exemplifies the qualities that Harmony displayed. The recipient for 2015 is Kirsten Kler. A beloved early morning instructor for two decades at MAC, Kler has won a dedicated following in spite of the ridiculously early hour of her classes: 5:30 a.m. on weekdays!

Kler served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army for six years, and at times, she reverts to her days in the military – with a sense of humor.

When she calls something boot camp, she’s not kidding! But she has a way of starting out easy and sneaking into the hardcore stuff before anyone knows what happened. MAC is fortunate to have Kler as a member of the group exercise corps.

Kler is honored at an instructor appreciation event in February. MAC is fortunate to have the finest instructors anywhere in the city, please come out and support them

The Golf Committee has planned a season-ending social event at Golf In The Pearl, an innovative golf studio in the heart of Portland.

Whether you are a scratch golfer, dust off your clubs once a year, or are new to the game, mark your calendars for the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 18, and register for this season-ending celebration with your fellow duffers and MAC member coaches.

The event features comments from four local golf pros, Closest to the Pin and Long Drive contests, and other golf-related activities. There will be food, drink and merriment as members swap stories about their great drives, missed putts, and participation in MAC golf programs. We also will announce the Golfer of the Year at the event.

Racquetball

Racquetball Makes for Ideal Cross Training

As AAA Oregon AutoSource we will continue to:

With so many great athletic options at MAC, why choose to participate in racquetball? Those of us down in the subbasement are biased, but here are three good reasons.

• Sell and Lease – All makes and models new and used

It works the whole body

• Accept – Trade-in vehicles

Racquetball is an intense physical activity that can lead to better fitness, flexibility and power. Racquetball doesn’t focus on just a few muscle groups. Players use the whole body; twisting through shots with the back and arms, adding power with the midsection, and using their legs for power and mobility. It is a game of quick starts and stops with plenty of running. Thirty minutes of hard racquetball has been equated with running three 10-minute miles, while a typical match can put your legs through 1.5 miles of running.

AAA Membership is not required – All are welcome!

• Offer – Loan and lease financing

Train for other sports Racquetball is a great sport for cross training. For example, the high speed and reaction times needed to deal with balls coming off the wall at 100 miles per hour can be great training for baseball and softball players working on hitting. Also, the periodic acceleration from side to side and front to back mimics the moves an infielder makes. Racquetball has many of the same elements of tennis, but everything seems to be going faster. The same need for accurate footwork, anticipation and follow-through in racquetball translates to tennis; with the added benefit that practice racquetball players can practice solo – and the ball always rolls back.

Stay mentally sharp Racquetball is a great game for mental exercise. Players build anticipation and court sense as they get better. Things happen at high speed, and anticipating the trajectory of the shot you are trying to return and the new location you must get to for a return challenges you at every stage.

So, during the upcoming long winter months, think about sampling racquetball.

League nights are on Thursday, but that is just one of many options. Check out the racquetball pages at theMAC.com to find out all the opportunities to get involved.

Van Mathias (14) placed first in the nation among all athletes his age in the 100 fly, 13th in 200 fly and 18th in the 200 IM. Kevin Keil (13) was 11th in the 400 IM and 15th in the 200 IM. Elise Kreutzer (14) was 19th in the 50 free.

All these swimmers established new MAC records, and Mathias set a new Oregon record in 100-meter fly, and placed fifth in all-time top-100 performances, just 0.17 behind Michael Phelps at that age.

The MAC 13-14-year-old 200- and 400-meter medley relay of Keil, Mathias, Nate McFaul and Joshua Nguyen set new Oregon records, and both placed third nationally.

Tristan Furnary represented MAC at Summer Junior Nationals in San Antonio,

Texas. Five MAC swimmers (Furnary, Elise Kreutzer, Mathias, Brynne O’Shea and Tyler Soo) qualified for Winter Junior Nationals which takes place in Austin, Texas in December.

Our age-group zone athletes competed in Hawaii as part of an Oregon All-Star team.

This year, MAC athletes represented the largest contingency of swimmers on the Oregon All-Star team. The age-group zone team included Keil, Kreutzer, Beau Lonnquist, Mathias, McFaul, Nguyen, Khai Tran and Isabella Wallace. Kreutzer placed second in the 200 free, while Mathias finished first in the 100 fly and 200 back. Mathias was first in the 100 fly The senior zone team included Emmy Daigle, Allie Engstrom, Doug Heymann, Khalifha Kalahiki, Elenora Kemp, Logan Kojiro, Rob Mead, Nate Nguyen, Catherine Nisbet, Brynne O’Shea, Liam O’Shea, Tyler Soo, and Kate Westlake.

O’Shea took third in the 100 back and sixth in the 200 back. Tyler Soo finished third in 50 free and eighth in the 100 fly.

MAC records Several swimmers set new club marks this year. The list includes: Tory Schnebly in the 10-and-under 50 and 100 back; McFaul in the 13-14 800 free; Kreutzer in the 50 free; and Mathias in the 13-14 200 back, 200 fly and the 200 and 400 IM.

Athletics How is this season different?

This is our second first-place national ranking with Mathias. He achieved this time by .02 of a second. In the sport of swimming, paying attention to details is a big factor in all races.

A lot of younger swimmers are stepping up to the MAC record board with top 5 finishes in every age group, team records and high finishes at more competitive meets. The program looks very bright for years to come.

Swim - Masters

A Triumpant and Nostalgic Return to Pool This is a new series profiling MAC Masters swimmers and their experiences, highlighting their collective lifetime appreciation of the sport.

The first installment looks at MAC swimmer Jessica Stacy.

This month’s story begins with my own masters swimming experience, which led me to the 2015 USMS Spring National Championships in San Antonio, Texas.

If you had asked me four years ago if I would ever race again, I would have laughed at the question. But as all swimmers know, you eventually find yourself back in the water.

It’s only a matter of time.

I have been on the MAC masters swim team for three years, returning from what postcollegiate swimmers call “retirement” to practice and, eventually, I found myself competing again. Enjoying the ability to race again has been outshined only by Jessica Stacy the special camaraderie that I found between my teammates – a group of people who love the sport and being active as much as I do.

Those teammates have become my mentors, and it’s been due to their motivation that I have far surpassed my own expectations as a competitive masters swimmer. This realization came to life in Texas earlier this year at National Championships in May. With my mother in tow – once a swim mom, always a swim mom – I had a fan and all the excitement that comes with a meet of this caliber. I was excited to swim some fast times.

I swam six events and placed in the top 10 in each. I came away with three Oregon state records, and inked my name on the MAC record board. But the feeling of those results paled in comparison to the nostalgia that only swimming at an event of 2,000-plus fellow Continued on page 62

Athletics wildfires surrounding the Spokane Valley left the city draped in a thick blanket of smoke.

The intended facilities had nearly 100 excellent outdoor courts scattered throughout the heart of Spokane, but air quality readings from the wildfires were deemed to be too poor for outside play. USTA officials had little choice but to move the matches to only 20 indoor courts, sliding the tournament into chaos. Schedules were changed, realigned and sent out. Hotel rooms were booked, canceled

Courts were flung throughout the region, from Coeur d’Alene to Whitworth University. and rebooked, depending on match times and locations. Courts were flung throughout the Spokane Valley, from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to Whitworth College.

As the tournament began early on Friday, it was evident that time was of the essence – both literally and figuratively. Warm-up was reduced to seven minutes, strictly enforced.

A pro-set of eight games with no-add scoring was implemented. Tournament officials trying to keep an ultra-tight schedule on

track eliminated chit chat and friendly chatter. Warm-up courts were parking lots and empty lots at strip malls.

The MAC ladies team found itself playing into the early morning, with matches ending close to 1 a.m. Players stayed up later than their college-age kids. A regional weather alert for high winds and poor driving conditions was issued Saturday morning. At least it was reassuring to know the disaster notification system worked on all cell phones.

In the end, everyone survived, with only a few contracting a nasty stomach flu. Players concluded that it was “an experience,” and even though the outcome could have been better, MAC teams found that the chaos kept them flexible and supportive, and it was fun to play tennis. It was a hullabaloo of a weekend.

Summer Mixed-League Winners Thanks to all the participants in the inaugural Summer Mixed League. It was a perfect summer for outdoor evening tennis, and this group took advantage of it. There were 24 participants in two separate flights, and members scheduled their own matches on any outdoor court. We would like to run the league again next summer so keep an eye out for signups next May. Congratulations

winners Carson Hall and Sarah Murphy in the red flight and Kent and Karen Holce in the blue flight.

TriRun

Great Views on Annual Pittock Run The annual Pittock Mansion run was a success. Those who joined the Tri/Run Committee enjoyed a cool evening jaunt with some great views.

Though a smaller group than previous years, this bunch of eight runners left MAC, traveled up through the hills to the Pittock Mansion, then back down to the club to share good company, refreshments and stories of the event. If this sounds like fun, fear not, the holidays bring the family-oriented Peacock Lane Group Fun Run. Mark your calendars now and you can still catch some 2015 running camaraderie (and burn a few holiday calories) with the MAC in early December. The fun and festive evening begins at 6 p.m. in the Turnaround, and the 9-mile option runs from the MAC to Peacock Lane to view the beautiful holiday Continued on page 64

Athletics year olds) where there are more than 150 teams competing in that age group alone. MAC’s program continues to grow and is becoming more competitive than ever. The club plans to field nine junior teams again this year.

MAC fields three 16U teams this season and potentially three 14U teams and three 12U teams. Players are required to try out for a position on one of the teams. Coaches will announce whether MAC has an 18U club team by Nov. 2. Fielding of an 18U team is dependent upon the numbers trying out for 14U and whether we need to field a third 14U team.

Yoga

MAC Yoga Goes Beyond the Mat Yoga is traditionally divided into eight limbs or aspects. The yamas and niyamas are basically the do’s and don’ts that allow us to be more at peace. More like invitations to create greater harmony than absolutes, these traditional precepts are practiced on the mat through breath and postures to then continue the practice of these disciplines off the mat in our daily living.

Yamas: the Don’ts Ahimsa: Non violence or non harming.

Thinking and behaving in a way that relinquishes hostility toward the self and others.

Thinking negatively of yourself is considered a form of violence toward the self.

Satya: Truthfulness. Walk your talk. Do your actions match your words? Are you being honest or opinionated?

Asteya: Non-stealing. Focus on what and how we consume materially and energetically.

Taking an object that is not freely offered or arriving late to meet someone steals their time and are both ways we steal.

Brachmacharya: Moderation. Largely known for its interpretation as celibacy. A broader interpretation is putting our energy toward something that replenishes your Continued on page 66 november 2015

the greater good. From there, all the yamas and niyamas fall into place.

–Carole Moritz

Continued from page 65 energy, not drains it. Did you feel energized or exhausted after your workout today?

Aparigraha: Nonhoarding. It’s the freedom that comes with the decision not to be possessive in our consumption. It requires we reflect at the way we use things to reinforce our identity.

Youth Programs

Open Play Chess with a Teenage Expert

Niyamas – The Do’s Saucha: Purity. Keeping things clean, inside and out. This involves maintaining a cleanliness of body, mind and environment so we can experience life more vividly. Simple acts, like cleaning your mat after every practice, is an expression of purity.

Santosha: Contentment. A knowing of joy unshaken even by life’s toughest times.

Accepting life as it is, instead of constantly being at war with reality.

Tapas: Internal fire. Willingly developing discipline, a burning desire to learn, cultivates healthful habits and breaks unhealthful ones.

It is through building awareness and capacity to tolerate strong sensation that you learn where your real limits are. Right action may mean not doing a posture because it causes you suffering.

Teenage chess whiz Kian Patel leads chess open play for juniors.

Svadhyaya: Self study. One of the developmental tasks of a yoga practice is to cultivate observation. For some, this is through study of poses. For others, it is in sacred texts.

Investigating how things are uncovers the unconscious patterns governing our individual and collective lives.

Isvara-Pranidhana: Devotion to a higher power. The highest happiness comes from making an offering to bring light and love

In October, the Youth Programs Department started chess open play for MAC members between the ages of 7 and 17. Chess boards will be set up in front of the Junior Lounge from 3:30-5:30 p.m. every Tuesday.

All levels of play are welcome and there is no cost to play.

The idea for chess at MAC was the brainchild of two members, Maryam Zare and her son, Kian Patel. Patel, who attends Lincoln High School and is a veteran of numerous chess tournaments, will be available most Tuesdays to help beginners learn the game of chess.

In addition to open play on Tuesdays, the Junior Lounge will have multiple chess boards available for play when there is an attendant present.

If you have any questions about chess at MAC, contact Camps/Classes Supervisor Mike Donovan at mdonovan@themac.com or 503-517-7578. WM

History at MAC Archivist George Vogt came to MAC in 2011 to help bring order to the vast array of artifacts and documents associated with the club. He occasionally turns up old photos for The Winged M. With winter just around the corner, Vogt found the original copy of this image, which Men’s Bar regulars may recognize.

MAC’s Spectacular Ski Jump O

ver the years, the building now known as Providence Park has played host to a wide variety of teams and people. Before the Timbers joined the Major League Soccer ranks, they shared the field with the Portland Beavers Baseball team, and the Portland State Vikings still line up to play football on the pitch a few times each year. The Multnomah Kennel Club called the site home for a few years, and it has even hosted a president and a king – Elvis, that is. But for one night in 1951, the field, then known as Multnomah Stadium, housed a ski jump. Greg Henderson, who would eventually join MAC, built a ski jump from the club into the stadium during the Rose Festival Celebration. “And they still let him into the club eight years later,” jokes his daughter, past President Darcy Henderson.
