hen the opportunity came for me to write this column, I realized that this was a chance to relate several examples that I am aware of that illustrate how great our club acts as a community, both internally and exterLinda Higgons nally. And certainly VICE PRESIDENT there are many more instances, some probably occurring every day.

inspiration to younger gymnasts, encouraging them and attending their meets both at MAC and away. Thirty years later, at 90, she was still there Monday through Friday supporting others and still doing gymnastics.

Several months ago, she suffered a bad fall.

Her doctors said she survived because of the shape she was in, her positive mental attitude and support from her MAC family. When she moved to assisted living, her MAC family took over with help from adults, children and staff day and night. Because of this assistance she is back on her own and back at the club.

Where else can you get this kind of support from an athletic facility?

MAC as a community for members

MAC as a community to others

An active member in good shape came to a Pilates class feeling physically awful. She felt that it might be a result of a big workout she had done recently. Like many of us, she thought that taking her class might make her feel better. But she suffered a heart attack.

MAC’s rapid response team, along with classmates, acted immediately. She says she would not be alive today if it weren’t for the support and care given by the MAC community that day and through her recovery. In her recovery, it was very important to know the club was there, to feel the collective energy, and what a vital part Pilates played by giving her the inner strength to get up and moving.

For another member, MAC provides a community where he has forged tremendous friendships with a diverse range of people he probably would not have met otherwise.

The diversity is found in people of all ages, different careers and a variety of sports.

Being active in different areas means that he can come in any time and knows he will see friends in a safe and fun environment.

As a member of our community, he calls and checks on senior member friends if he doesn’t see them regularly, and knows people will do the same for him.

With the sudden loss of a spouse of 47 years, everything in life changed for another member. The one constant was MAC, and it made a difference. It became the community that didn’t change, and provided a support system of longtime MAC friends, continuation of committee service, opportunities to volunteer, and athletic activities to stay engaged. The support and responses from people then, and to this day, continue to provide comfort.

At the age of 56, a member joined the gymnastics program. She started competing at 60. The staff quickly embraced her and became her family. She was a great

As part of the 125th-year celebration, the club formed MACReach, giving MAC the opportunity to reach out as a community to help others in the community. To date, many committee members already have agreed to donate time and talent to over 33 different organizations doing activities that include neighborhood cleanups, ivy pulls, collecting donations and on-site help. This is a positive experience for all and possibly the start of an ongoing project. Employees participated in the MACReach program as well. They could choose from four opportunities to help the community through baking treats for dogs at the Oregon Humane Society, sewing backto-school gift bags, purchasing shoes for the bags, and designing custom gift cards that carried confidence-building messages.

The MAC exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society is another example of outreach. It was an opportunity to show the club’s participation in the community over the past 125 years. The OHS director says that the exhibit pulled double what the typical local exhibit pulls.

Oh what a night!

The 125 Ball was a magical evening for 1,000 guests. Men in tuxedoes, women in gowns, many carrying out the theme of black and gold, enjoyed a wide variety of music, gourmet food stations and specialty cocktails on all levels of the beautifully decorated club. Hats, masks and other accessories added to the festivities. Interactive entertainment included the opportunity to have a poet write a poem about your favorite thought about MAC, blackjack and a photo booth to capture the evening. And let’s not forget the aerialist hanging from a trapeze as she poured champagne into our glasses. Kudos to the staff for a memorable evening enjoyed by many generations of members and guests!

n a recent trip to see my son, Max, play college football, I had to change planes at JFK Airport in New York City. Arriving mid-afternoon at JFK, you see many international flights arriving from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. I saw Norm Rich a few AirBus 380s, the GENERAL MANAGER largest commercial airliner in the world, arriving with 500-plus passengers. A couple of evenings before, I read about the AirBus 380s falling out of favor with some airlines due to their size and high operating costs. It got me thinking – how big should any airliner, any company or any club be? Is there danger in being too big? Is there a danger that a business or organization does too many things average, rather than achieving great results doing fewer things?

This is a challenge our Trustees, committees, members and management often have asked. What is the right size for a club? My point is this: We continue to take on more sports, more social activities, more Listen and Learn sessions, and more food and beverage challenges, and rarely eliminate anything.

There can be a cost for this, and we are best suited to weigh benefits versus costs and balance appropriately. These discussions happen annually during budget season, and I have been challenged by Trustees to weigh costs versus benefits. We rarely grade ourselves in profitability; rather we look at member satisfaction as the most important indicator of success.

Club Rules Our Club Rules rules are studied, updated and enacted by members for the benefit of the membership. They are meant to be respectful of all members and we ask the membership to review them (available at www.themac.com or at At Your Service) with family members.

There can be significant sanctions for those who violate rules regarding dress code, mobile phone use, sneaking someone into the club, having unaccompanied children roaming the club, and hit and run. Some rules related to parking and speeding in the garage have automatic fines and are not dismissed for a first offense. Please remember, we are a big club with rules that are meant to maintain the tradition and decorum of the club, and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone.

Rules are reviewed by committees and change over time as appropriate.

We are not on the leading edge, nor should we be when we relax the rules. Junior members have earned some additional benefits, and I encourage them to enjoy these without bending or breaking the rules. Bending or breaking rules often ends with members in front of the House Committee for some type of resolution.

I want to thank House Committee members for their service of time and thoughtful consideration of fellow members.

Holidays are here In November we look forward to more exciting high school, college and professional football rivalries, and begin the countdown to start the holidays and meaningful time with families and friends as Thanksgiving approaches. If you are interested in enjoying Thanksgiving at the club, please make reservations early as many peak times fill up quickly. Chef Philippe and his kitchen brigade also prepare Thanksgiving dinners to be taken home and enjoyed by family and friends. In the spirit of being thankful and grateful we offer meals to breast cancer survivors or those in need. I can assure you preparing dinner and washing all the pots and pans is a time commitment that can be better utilized by challenging family members to games, making each other laugh or watching family videos or together.

Time for families I want to close my column by sharing a discussion I had with the father of my son’s roommate. During a recent football game, he suggested I pinch myself as a reminder of where we were (Harvard Stadium) and what we were doing for one of the last times, watching our sons compete. We discussed all they have accomplished during their time in Boston, which is preparing for all that life has to offer in their future. They arrived as boys and will leave as men, destined to be better than the generation before them. The time we spent getting to better know all three of our children has been meaningful and will leave lifelong memories that will always be etched in our minds. Earlier in my career, I never thought I invested enough meaningful time with my kids. Life in Portland and at MAC allowed me to rebalance and refocus on priorities to professionally carry out club responsibilities and make meaningful time for good memories with family.

From my personal family (Val, Kaitlin, Max and Madison) to my professional family of fellow staff members, to your family, I wish you good times together knowing that family is all important and meaningful! May this be a blessed season for us all! WM NOVEMBER 2016

ovember always spurs the thought of being thankful and giving. As our 125th Anniversary year nears completion, I believe the volume of MAC and its members’ activity within the community to be worth noting.

Kirsten Leonard and Ed Stoner Val Rich led an ambiATHLETIC DIRECTOR tious charge to have every committee at MAC participate in some type of community outreach, which has resulted in hundreds of service activities and thousands of members participating; a truly sizable act of giving.

While that push is specific to this year, MAC members regularly give of their time and resources. Each year, MAC members provide more than 150 pints of blood for the Red Cross. And, yes, the Civil War Blood Drive is Tuesday, Nov. 8, and Wednesday, Nov. 9, if you haven’t already signed up to give.

Members serve on the boards of many local non-profits such as ALS, Minds Matter, Smile Oregon, and Special Olympics, to name just a few. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF), created as part of MAC’s 100th Anniversary, is guided by many MAC members and donations of more than $150,000 annually from the MAC membership in its support of youth sports throughout the region.

At a recent MS Gala I attended, the event was chaired by MAC member Ralph Cole and financially supported by MAC members George Hosfield and his wife, Monica, among others. From community cleanup days to donations to the Oregon Food Bank and the Yolanda House, MAC and its members often are heavily involved in giving back around Portland, yet, often the club is labeled an elite bastion of privilege and self-entitlement by those who do not know the true nature of the club. This fact has been noted by the Ad Hoc Community Relations Committee, which was established to develop an assessment, plan for and undertake external communications, activities, etc., that could improve the position and image of the MAC with neighboring communities. Their recommendations will be going to the board in the near future.

Regardless of its outcome, I have seen firsthand the impact MAC and its membership continue to have upon this community, and am proud to be a part of such an active and giving club and membership.

I look forward to seeing you around the club and in the community this month as an active participant in MAC’s giving membership. Happy Thanksgiving! WM

Meet Logan. Logan’s parents, Will and Allison, are Multnomah Athletic Club members. Earlier this summer, Logan saw his dad volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity build site and was inspired.

Logan told his parents he wanted to donate his allowance to Habitat, knowing his money would go towards providing a safe place to live for kids just like him.

Habitat is Portland’s tested and proven solution to the housing crisis facing our city, helping families build strength, stability, and independence through homeownership.

Your dollars will make a real difference in the lives of hardworking families looking for a hand up.

AC features the impressive wines of Napa vineyards Silver Oak and Twomey in one delectable dinner at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 16. Chefs Philippe Boulot and Philip Oswalt have crafted a five-course meal that complements these sought-after wines.

Silver Oak has a long history of prestige and commitment to excellence with one varietal: cabernet sauvignon. What began in 1972 as a handshake deal between Silver Oak’s founders, Justin Meyer and Raymond Twomey Duncan, eventually would grow into a paragon of California cabernets.

Daniel Baron is the director of winemaking for Silver Oak and has led teams to winemaking excellence in California and France. He is responsible for perhaps the most infamous and expensive bottling of the 20th century: the 1982 Château Petrus. In 1999, Baron helped found Twomey Cellars, which was to be an outlet for single vineyard Napa Valley merlot where Daniel could implement many of the skills he had acquired while working in Bordeaux.

Today, Twomey makes benchmark merlot, pinot noir and sauvignon blanc from the most prestigious vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties.

This event is for those ages 21 and older.

How Stella found her forever home.

Two years ago, Stella and 118 of her friends lived in terrible conditions. Their caretaker didn’t adequately care for all of the animals on the property. Fortunately, a concerned citizen alerted the authorities. The Oregon Humane Society jumped into action.

Sharon Harmon and her team found a donated warehouse, assembled temporary pens, and got to work on cleaning, feeding, and vaccinating the poorly treated pets. Before long, all the dogs were healthy and found a happy home in which to snuggle.

Sharon and her team work closely with the legislature and law enforcement officials to ensure animals are protected by law from cruel conditions.

Dave Underriner Chief executive Providence Oregon Where did you grow up?

I was born at Sacred Heart (a Providence facility) in Spokane where my father was the hospital administrator. We came to Portland when I was 13.

Education and training B.S. in forest products from Oregon State; masters in health care administration from University of Washington

Why Providence?

What are your hobbies?

I’ve been married for 35 years, and Barbara and I have two adult children, Julie and Michael. We enjoy doing many things together as a family. My daughter and I recently ran our third Hood to Coast Relay. Running is a good way for me to spend time with my daughter and manage the stress of my work.

What’s a favorite Providence memory?

I grew up around health care.

My father was the first non-sister administrator of a Providence hospital, and I saw the joy and passion he had for his work. It is such a privilege to work with outstanding caregivers to serve the Providence Mission, and I’ve had great mentors throughout my career such as John Lee, Greg Van Pelt and Russ Danielson.

I remember vividly the day we received approval to build the new cancer center at Providence Portland. I am forever grateful for the outstanding support we received from our donors.

Because of them, we’ve been able to create one of the premier cancer centers in the country.

What’s your dream for Providence?

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

The passion of our teams to create hope for our patients through excellent care and research is amazing. Every day they focus on ways to better manage, cure and prevent illness and disease. Together, we can change the face of health care in our communities.

Generous individuals, foundations and corporations have been instrumental in making Providence a national leader in key areas such as cancer research, cardiovascular care and more. Their support propels Providence forward to grow and provide exceptional care for those we serve.

In Memoriam Jonathan William Edwards

John ‘Jack’ E. Meeke Jr.

Nov. 19, 1946-Sept. 6, 2016 Senior family member Jay Edwards passed away peacefully in his Portland home on Sept.

6, 2016 at the too-young age of 69.

He was born to Jack and Marian Edwards in Eugene. Jay grew up in Portland and graduated from Grant High School in 1964, where he was Student Body President and a member of the 1963 state championship football team.

After Grant, he matriculated to Stanford University, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and graduated in 1968. Vietnam called immediately after graduation. Jay answered and served in the U.S. Marine Corps, achieving the rank of Captain. He then followed in his father’s footsteps and attended University of Oregon Law School, earning his law degree and meeting his future wife, whom he dubbed ‘The Lovely Elaine’ in 1972.

His Washington, D.C. years began with a stint as Chief Assistant to his esteemed mentor, Oregon Congressman Wendell Wyatt. Jay went on to establish the lobbying firm of Edwards Associates, Inc. Prominent clients included Portland General Electric, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, the Navajo Nation and Blue Ribbon Sports/Nike. His advocacy with the U.S. Customs Service helped pave the way for Nike’s rapid growth as a nascent business.

Jay retired from lobbying to join Nike, Inc., where his experience included Director of Overseas Marketing and Managing Director of European Operations, among other roles.

After a long career in the athletic industry, he completed his working years at Adidas America as President of Retail Outlets.

A few of Jay’s favorite things included summers at his family lake cabin in the Columbia Gorge, spring breaks in San Carlos, golfing, fishing, master gardening, philately, the written word and most importantly being surrounded by family and friends. Our favorite things about Jay are his infectious joie de vivre, transporting sense of humor and inspiring example. Jay is survived by his wife, Elaine Erickson Edwards; daughters Allison and Elizabeth (Kamissa) Edwards; granddaughter Madison; and siblings Peggy (Terry) Soriano and David Edwards.

Should you wish to honor Jay’s memory, we can think of no finer way than the immunotherapy program at Providence Cancer Center, 4805 NE Glisan St., Portland, OR 97213. The program gave Jay the gift of one last summer.

Dec. 2, 1926-July 4, 2016 The man, the myth and the legend, senior preferred member John “Jack” E. Meeke Jr., a resident of Beaverton, passed away the morning of July 4, 2016, at his home. He was 89.

Jack was born Dec. 2, 1926, in Hardin, Mont., to John R. Meeke Sr. and Genevieve Meeke (both deceased). The family moved to Portland in 1930, where Jack began his education, eventually moving with his family to Aloha, where he then attended Beaverton High School, graduating in 1944. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was training to fly B29 bombers when the war ended and he was discharged. He then enrolled at the University of Oregon, which he attended for two years and was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

John “Jack” E. Meeke Jr. was united in marriage to Laurie Jensen March 5, 1960, at the Methodist church in Beaverton. Jack and Laurie had several business ventures, of which they developed Mobile Home Corral in Beaverton in the early 1960s, as well as starting their own insurance agency, Jack Meeke Insurance, which they sold in 1990. Among Jack’s interests with his wife and children were golfing, skiing, boating on the Columbia River and going on trips in their motor home, along with family times at their cabin at Mt. Hood.

Survivors include his son, Johnny Meeke and wife, Eva; grandchildren, John Mason Meeke and Madison Meeke; daughter, Heidi Meeke; stepchildren, Greg Jensen of Lincoln City, Sherry Reed of Beaverton and Terry Jensen of Beaverton; sister, Jill Wilson and brother-in-law, Curt Wilson of Indio, Calif.; and nieces, Cindy, Julie and Laurie, also of Indio.

Betty Jane Lovett Oct. 22, 1923-Sept. 14, 2016 Senior preferred member Betty Jane Lovett died Sept. 14, 2016 at the age of 92.

She was born Oct. 22, 1923 in Volga, S.D. She graduated from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. In 1948, she married Charles M. Lovett. He died in 1986.

Betty was also preceded in death by her son, Glenn, and one grandchild. Survivors include: three sons and their wives, Arthur and Jodi, Richard and Christine, Douglas and Theresa, and Glenn’s wife Sally; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Remembrances may be made to the Old Kerr Nursery Association of Albertina Kerr.

Crosswalks: Be Safe and Be Seen The MAC entrance sits between two very busy intersections. MAC was given special consideration for having a crosswalk mid-block mainly due to the club’s excessive foot traffic. Under Oregon law, a crosswalk exists at any public street intersection, whether it is marked with white striping or not. If a vehicle doesn’t stop and wait for a pedestrian to leave the crosswalk, it can be a class B violation. Bicyclists can also face a fine for not stopping at intersections for pedestrians.

Pedestrians need to do their part to ensure their own safety. Be safe and be seen – a car is not going to stop at a pedestrian crosswalk if they don’t see anyone to stop for. Avoid dangerous behaviors like assuming a car is going to stop. Finally, look before you step off the curb. MAC sits on a steep hill, which increases the dangers of speeding vehicles. Many pedestrians are distracted and don’t even look before crossing the street.

The club’s Turnaround is also a hub of busy activity. The Main Entrance and the Athletic Entrance serve as the primary entrance/exits to the club. The Turnaround also facilitates runners/ walkers who are leaving the club, vendors dropping items, Tri-Met paratransit buses picking-up/dropping off passengers, parents dropping off their children, emergency vehicles, etc.

It’s important for pedestrians to remain on the sidewalk areas when using the Turnaround. Walking on the pavement area increases one’s chances of being involved in a serious accident. Several close encounters have been reported recently. Passengers should not be dropped off in the center area of the Turnaround. Drivers should drop off their passengers at the curb areas only in the Turnaround.

Please be aware of your surroundings when arriving at and departing the club.

MAC strives to provide safe entrances for its members, whether they are walking, biking, or driving to the club. WM

MAC Volunteer Heroes by Kirsten Leonard, MACREACH John Herman has spent decades volunteering outside – and within – MAC. Herman chaired the MAC Centennial celebration, began the MAC Foundation with the remaining funds and served on the Foundation Board for 20 years.

He received MAC’s highest award, the McAlpin, in recognition of his leadership. Has his MAC involvement slowed?

Absolutely not. Herman oversees the 125th Athletic Events and co-chaired the creation and display of the widely applauded MAC exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society, where he was a third-generation Board member, received the rare title of President Emeritus Trustee and co-chaired the capital campaign.

A University of Oregon grad, Herman was elected to their Foundation Board and became president and chair of the same; he is now an Emeritus Trustee.

John Herman – MAC Member and Volunteer Extraordinaire They gave him the Pioneer Award in 2014, their highest alumni honor, and named a scholarship for him. He continues on the U of O Hall of Fame Selection Committee and carries the

university’s banner in the annual Pendleton Round-Up. Herman joined the Sports Authority Board in 1998 and was the president in 2006-08. He worked with the NW Shootout for 22 years and as the president and board member of the Boys & Girls Club for 44 years.

John followed his father as the Belgian Consulate (think many calls, passport issues, the promotion of Belgian beer) and upon retiring this year, will be an Emeritus member of the Oregon Consulate Corp.

He has had a sports-related career (Jantzen, Duffle Sportwear). Finally, John slams opponents on our squash courts. In the photo above, we managed to catch a non-moving moment. This doesn’t occur often.

ADMINISTRATIVE Interactive High Intensity Interval Training system, a plyometric obstacle course, a T-Wall Interactive light wall, a virtual reality spin bike and TurfX, turf flooring for functional fitness.

Fit Zone staffing will initially remain the same as it currently is for the Junior Weight Room, 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Anecdotal evidence suggests use of the Junior Weight Room fell after it moved to its current location, a small space between the West and Main Gyms.

In making the decision to move the batting cage, MAC athletic staff monitored activity there for two separate two-week periods last year. The results showed an average of 13 members used the batting cage daily with about 25 percent of that use from reserved bookings (the rest were walk ups). Much of the activity had nothing to do with batting: Members used it to practice baseball, golf, lacrosse, softball and to play table tennis regularly.

FACILITIES

Piecing Together a Better Facility The Tetris project involves shifting certain athletic areas to better utilize space

W

hen MAC embarks on a new $1.5 million capital project, a thorough explanation of the project’s objectives is something members are eager to hear, especially when that project has a name like Tetris.

The project is named after the puzzle video game because it involves moving functions to different spaces, and making sure all of the pieces fit in advance. Tetris aims to fulfill several top priorities identified by the MAC Board of Trustees, in particular expanded and improved areas for juniors. The project takes care of a number of outstanding code requirements, such as adding more bathroom fixtures and fire doors. It also furthers the MAC’s Athletic Neighborhood Concept (ANC), the idea that MAC coaches and athletic administrators should be physically near to the sports they cover.

When Tetris is finished, which is scheduled for Feb. 1, the current small, dated Junior Weight Room will be replaced with a bigger, brighter and more functional space called the Fit Zone in the south end of the West Gym, the space that currently holds the batting cage. The batting cage moves to the area between the Climbing Gym and the Main Gym, while the offices will go into the former Junior Weight Room and east side of the West Gym. There will be a new Teen Lounge outside the Junior Lounge on the E&C Balcony with more comfortable furniture and lots of outlets. The Junior Lounge door will move to a spot closer to the Athletic Entrance in order to keep the spaces separated. New bathroom fixtures will go on the second floor and a required fire wall will be built near the Teen Lounge.

The Fit Zone is the centerpiece of the project. A turfed space with movable glass doors, it will have the latest and greatest equipment, including a Nexersys

Integral to the project is furthering what’s called the Athletic Neighborhood Concept, known to MAC insiders as the ANC. Athletic Director Ed Stoner says the idea came from reviewing previous Athletic Director’s plans and the Facility Master Plan (FMP) of 2007, a strategy document that identified and ranked needs. Another guiding light was a set of priorities highlighted by the 2013 Board Ad Hoc member committee: “Tier I” priorities included improving and expanding junior facilities like the Junior Weight Room and adding a Teen Lounge. “It remains an active and evolving concept as we move all our programs forward and complete new capital projects such as Tetris,” says Stoner.

In 2015, MAC formed a committee called the Ad Hoc Youth Programs Space Realignment. It was composed of members from several committees, including Junior Programs & Facilities, Budget & Finance, Athletic, and Property.

Eric Wilson, chairman of the Tetris Ad Hoc Committee, acknowledges that no solution will satisfy all stakeholders, but he says the focus was to better serve the Juniors, an underrepresented community at the club. While this may be an initial step, it is a step in the right direction. “Engaged Juniors today provide a better foundation for an ongoing and active membership in the future,” he said.

Nothing is stagnant. A microcosm of this evolution has been on full display adjacent to MAC’s clubhouse over the past nine decades.

Since Civic Stadium opened in 1926, the space adjacent to MAC has become a showcase for athletic achievement. It has been the site for memories that are ingrained in the city’s fabric. The list of

entertainers, athletes and historical figures who appeared there is a who’s-who of America over the last century.

Elvis Presley sang Heartbreak Hotel there.

Pelé played his last professional game there.

The NFL’s first overtime game was there.

Jack Dempsey boxed there.

Willie Mays hit there.

Billy Graham preached there.

All star games? Yes. World Cups? Absolutely.

Manchester United? Pittsburgh Pirates? New York Giants? They all played there.

AUG. 28 – The L.A. Rams defeat the New York Giants, 23-17, in an exhibition game that is the first overtime game ever played in an NFL competition. The extra period was an idea of MAC member and Blazers founder Harry Glickman.

Teams that have called this place home have come and gone. Some have come back again. The Portland Timbers have been tenants on three separate occasions and became champions for the first time last year. The Portland Thorns became the most highly attended professional women’s sports club team while making their home there. Teams with names like Rockies, Storm and Mavericks all made this place their home.

But the events and teams, past and present, are not the only reason Providence Park is such an enduring, special place. It is the memories that have stayed long after Elvis shimmied off the stage and after the NFL and MLB exhibitions stopped.

My favorite time in the club is at night when there are no events in the stadium. I head out to the terrace bleachers and sit alone or a minute, looking over the stadium that has brought so much to Portland.

You feel the spirits running through your bones. All the memories, all the moments, all the people who have stepped foot in one of oldest stadiums left in the country. That’s what happens when you sit still and look out over this magnificent place.

It is a spiritual experience to feel 90 years of history seep into your pores. A spiritual experience that would not be possible without the hard work of a group of MAC members in 1926 who decided that the club and the city of Portland would benefit from a stadium on the site where it still sits today.

There are few things that members of the MAC Balladeers mens’ singing group can all agree upon, but there is at least one: we love Mandy Beasley, the MAC member events specialist who, from offstage, guides us through our year’s travels, trials and budget.

“She makes us feel that she takes a particular and proprietary interest in the Balladeers and that she likes us best of all her assigned committees,” says Jay Maxwell, “although I expect all her committees probably feel the same way.”

Karl Wetzel adds, “Mandy’s a lot like the prescient character ‘Radar’ O’Reilly in the movie and TV series M*A*S*H. She sees problems coming and heads them off, all while making it seem the problems just took care of themselves.”

Balladeers committee chair John Wykoff sums up Beasley’s contribution in one word: “Indispensable. Without her, we’d be in chaos.”

Paul Nelsen, the group’s accompanist, says, “She attends many of our shows, knows our names, applauds our efforts, and her smiles alone would liven up any room.”

“She’s a rock star!” says Todd Husband.

“Mandy brings out the best in everyone.”

Beasley confides a soft spot for the group and its role inside and outside the club. “Just this summer, I received a large package addressed to the Balladeers. Inside were 50

cards that the boys from St. Mary’s Home for Boys sent thanking them for their performance. They were incredibly grateful and sweet, and I could tell the Balladeers really touched them through music. My eyes welled up reading them.”

“For the club and the community,” she says, “the Balladeers give back through song and making people smile. They help build MAC’s good name with their true gestures of service.”

Stay tuned this season as the Balladeers hope to incorporate Beasley as a guest artist – on stage – in one of our upcoming performances.

Male members interested in contributing to a moving musical experience should drop in on a Balladeers rehearsal at 7:15 p.m. on Thursdays in the third-floor Activities Classroom. There are no auditions required.

Call Mandy Beasley at 503-517-7272 or email mbeasley@themac.com for more information.

MELLOMACS

Let the Singing Season Begin!

November is a transformative month with daylight-savings time, recognition of the significant contributions of our veterans and a day of Thanksgiving for all that represents America. The MelloMacs embrace the transformations and look forward to a full season of activity and spreading cheer through melody, both within MAC and at assorted senior living communities.

The first concerts have been performed.

This year’s theme, “Hit Show Tunes from the Movies,” includes favorites from such classics as Singin’ in the Rain and Cabaret to the Sound of Music and My Fair Lady.

Director Gus Pappelis expertly introduces each piece, imparting a touch of music history, making each song even more memorable.

Guest pianist Darlene Cusick often opens the show with a classical piano concerto of astounding complexity, and the MelloMacs are delighted to enjoy her talents.

In November, the group adds holiday music for a month. The season will be full of good cheer and festivity.

For a good time, come to the third-floor activities room, where the stocks and pillories are stored, and join in singing songs you already know and love, at 7 p.m. every Monday night. Love to see you there!

Members dressed up in their best black and gold celebratory clothes—cocktail attire, tuxes, ball gowns, masks and other festive black and gold accessories.

The progressive party lured members throughout the social areas of the club, each area dressed to the nines.

With gourmet food stations and specialty cocktails, interactive entertainment and live music, many members called it their best MAC party ever.

Choose Your Own Adventure in Sun Valley

Ski Far Afield with a Far West Group Trip

surreal future leaves the world without water and consumed by sand: the Big Empty. A group of children survives alone on the edge of the endless desert in the ruin of the now. When a young boy unearths an ancient relic hinting at the lost wonders of winter, he sets off in search of the ghosts that once called the mountains their home. This bold cinematic experience balances stunning skiing with a wild and hopeful journey into the forgotten lands of myth and magic beyond the Empty.

MAC Team Honored by U.S. Ski Association MAC Alpine Ski Team earns Bronze-level certification for recent program improvements

L

ast fall, the MAC Alpine Ski Team started a process to become the first ski racing club in the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) to become certified by its national governing body, the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA). In May 2016, after an almost year-long, rigorous process of introspection and assessment, the MAC Alpine Ski Team was awarded its Bronze Level Certification through the USSA Club Development Program. The certification helps the program to better align itself with the best principles and practices of the USSA, At USSA Congress in Park City, Utah, MAC Alpine Ski Team was honored for its achievement, along with eight other programs nationally, who became certified in 2016.

Program Supervisor/Head Coach Justin Rackley, and Committee Chairman Brandon Hayes-Lattin were brought up on stage and presented with the honor by USSA Sport Education Director, Brian Krill.

NOVEMBER 2016

“It was clear through this process that the Multnomah Athletic Club alpine program has all the elements in place to be a podium-level USSA club,” Krill said. “Backed by the tradition and resources of the entire organization, led by a talented staff, and with plans moving forward for as much access to on-snow time as possible, this club will be one to watch as it continues to evolve.

As important as anything will be how this program is positioned within the MAC and in the Mount Hood region – there is really no limit to the success this club can achieve.”

Register Now Program Registration is open for the 2016-17 ski season. MAC Alpine Ski Team offers a wide range of programs from beginner to elite levels, both is ski racing and big mountain free-skiing. And new this season, the addition of the FreeRide Snowboard Program means that MAC Alpine is offering programming across a wide range of USSA sports. The Deadline to register is December 16th.

Why Providence?

The opportunity to build an immunotherapy research program from scratch was a great attraction. Other key reasons were the vision and support of hospital leaders and major philanthropists Earle M. Chiles and Robert W. Franz.

What’s your dream for Providence Cancer Center?

Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of our patients. This includes leading the first immunotherapy global clinical trial for patients with melanoma and working to offer patients a new OX40-based immunotherapy developed in our labs. We’re working to develop new cancer therapies that help patients worldwide.

What are your hobbies?

Spending time with my grandsons, Ethan and Caleb – swimming, playing catch or chess, going to movies and attending their sporting events. I also enjoy reading, especially biographies and history.

Who were your mentors?

My mother and father.

Her battle with breast cancer had a major influence on how I care for my patients.

And I’m fortunate to have had many professional mentors throughout my career.

What’s a favorite Providence memory?

In 1998, my mentor, Dr. Dan Longo, came here from Harvard Medical School to speak when I received an endowed chair in cancer research from Lynn and Jack Loacker.

Another highlight was getting OX40 to the clinic with the help of our philanthropic community.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

About 70 percent of cancer research at Providence is funded through philanthropy. None of us does this alone. Scientists, doctors, donors – we’re all a team.

HEALTHY OPTIONS FOR DINING OUT Americans are dining out now more than ever. According to a report from the National Restaurant Association, the average household spends $255 per month at restaurants. It might be less of a financial concern for certain families, but what about the health consequences of eating out? It is difficult to measure the effects of food away from home on diet quality, since many unobserved factors, such as food preferences and time constraints, influence the nutritional quality of what we eat. It is speculated that in the long run, dining out can have detrimental health effects.

Food, when prepared away from home, tends to be much higher in sodium and saturated fat, and is also lower in nutrient-dense carbohydrates.

It’s not to say you can’t make healthy choices when dining out – there are great options, you just have to be selective and more conscientious when making those choices. MAC Dietitian Tysen Christensen recommends asking for salad dressing to always be on the side – that way you tend to eat less dressing. Have an idea of what you are going to choose before you enter the restaurant and stick to those choices, looking at the menu when you are hungry can allow you to give in to the temptations of an unhealthy choice. Also, look for items that are baked rather than fried. In fact, here at MAC, the Wellness team works to make the selection a little easier.

Sports Pub Chef Deanna Bascom and Christensen get together throughout the year to discuss which items on the pub’s are both nutritious and delicious.

Christensen and Bascom look for items on the menu that have whole grains and lean proteins. They also look for items lower in saturated fat and which contain more heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats. These chosen items earn a MAC Wellness logo.

Bascom also works with the pub staff to make sure diners can make healthy choices and substitution options within the standard menu. For example, French fries can be substituted out for a salad, steamed vegetables or fruit. Also, with any burger, a diner can trade the beef patty for a seven ounce chicken breast. Periodically, Bascom also makes a four ounce, nutrient dense, veggie burger from scratch.

MIGRAINE FACTS

I

n September, I saw an unusual number of patients for treatment of their migraines.

For many of these patients, migraines are debilitating. Unlike a patient with a sprain, you cannot tell a migraine suffer to rest and “stay off your brain for a while.”

Migraine symptoms can be very different among patients. Some people experience an aura, which reflects a change in the nervous system resulting in a change in vision or hearing. Some people may have symptoms days prior to a migraine, such as constipation, nausea, mood changes, etc. Technically there are four stages of a migraine: prodrome (a group of vague symptoms preceding a migraine attack such as fatigue or changes in mood), aura (sensory disturbances and alterations), headache and postdrome (symptoms post migraine attack like fatigue or mental fog). Patients might not experience every stage and no two migraine attacks are necessarily the same. That is one of the most frustrating aspects of migraines – there are so many variables. No two patients experience migraines the same and the causes of migraines can be even more varied.

Possible triggers include: • Hormones - women generally suffer from migraines more than men, and women may notice their migraines correlating with their menstrual cycle.

• Food preservatives, such as MSG, sulfites, and foods containing tyramine, such as aged cheeses. Over 100 different foods have been cited by migraine sufferers to be personal triggers for them.

• Nutritional deficiencies like magnesium.

• Blood sugar imbalances.

• Stimulants and suppressants such as caffeine and alcohol.

• Stress

• Sensory stimuli such as perfumes, noxious odors, etc.

• Physical issues such as tight and sore muscles. In my practice, I see many tight necks, shoulders and jaws. Sometimes just getting those muscles to relax can do wonders for the patient. It’s important to look at what is causing those physical issues as well.

Is stress the underlying culprit or is it something like a repetitive-use injury?

• Changes in the environment like barometric pressure changes or changes in altitude • Medications like heart drugs or pain relievers, even vitamins, can cause a migraine.

Symptoms that are potentially more serious and in need of medical attention are headaches with: a persistent aura; extreme pain or pain that is worse over a few hours; a stiff neck, fever, and nausea or vomiting; mental confusion, memory loss, loss of balance, or changes in speech, beginning after the age of 50; following a head injury; double vision; pain behind the eyes; a scalp sensitive to the touch; worsening with exertion of any sort such as coughing.

If you are just beginning to experience migraines or you have a new set of symptoms, I recommend you see a neurologist for a full work-up.

If you’ve had migraines for years and already have tried prescription medications, consider muscle work like massage or acupuncture, finding and avoiding food triggers, and possibly trying herbal support.

Lavender or peppermint oil applied to the temples has been shown to be somewhat effective in minimizing or reducing severity of a pain associated with migraines.

Swimmers Help Win National Title Several MAC masters swimmers turned in recordbreaking performances during the national meet

T

his summer was an exciting time to be a MAC masters swimmer. As the greatest swim meet on Earth saw the likes of Michael Phelps and Team USA make history at the Rio Olympics, MAC was gearing up for a championship of their own along with a new team member, Kurt Grote, a gold medalist breaststroker from the ’96 Olympics. The team of 14 joined Team Oregon in the USMS Long Course National Championships, hosted by the Mt. Hood Aquatic Center in Gresham.

The four-day meet was in mid-August. Just like the Olympics, swimmers competed in a 50-meter long course pool with races ranging from 50 to 1,500 meters. Unlike the pool in Rio, the competition course was outdoors, which brought its own challenges for fast racing: 100-plus degree temperatures, little shade and 2,000-plus swimmers battling for space in the eight-lane warm-up pool.

Despite the heat, MAC masters swimmers got off to a blistering start in Thursday’s first event, with Lauren Binder’s 1,500meter freestyle performance – a personal best for the triathlete by trade. The next day introduced the shorter events, along with several record-breaking performances. Jessica Stacy and Hailey Bambusch battled in the 100-meter fly, with Stacy out-touching Bambusch by.009 of a second to claim the national title and state record in the event. Stacy would go on to claim another state record in the 50 breaststroke later in the meet, and earn a total of three, top-three finishes. Bambusch claimed second place and a state record herself in the 200-meter freestyle, along with a thirdplace finish in the 100 free. Scot Sullivan broke the 200 freestyle state record (earning him fourth place overall), while coach and

swimmer Jill Marie Asch racked up the most records and titles on the team: two first-place finishes in the 50 fly and 100 free, and three Oregon state records in the 50 free, 50 fly and 50 breast.

Record-breaking swims were trending for MAC Masters throughout the meet, especially as relays got underway thanks to the team’s in-house software mastermind, relay coach and swimmer Brent Washburne. With a program he built from scratch and pure genius, each swimmer’s best times were optimized for fast relay combinations. The results didn’t disappoint, with the most notable performances recapped below: • World record for Kurt Grote’s mixed 200 medley relay • Bambusch, Stacy and Bonus’ Mixed 200 medley relay came in second place and broke a 30-year-old Oregon record by six seconds • Grote and Eric Wan broke a 10-year old Zone record in the men’s 200 free relay, taking it back from the Pacific Northwest • Asch and Bambusch broke a 24-year-old Zone record in the Women’s 200 free relay • Asch’s 200 Medley relay broke a 10-year-old Oregon record by six seconds The meet ended with Team Oregon coming out on top with the national title, scoring nearly 2,000 points more than the Pacific Northwest team. Just as notable was every teammate’s fast swimming, personal-best times and first-time accomplishments, like Jordan Porter’s third-place finishes in his first-ever National Championships, or Jim Bigler – a self-proclaimed sprinter competing in the 80-84 age group – diving for the first time from the blocks in competition.

Junior Swimmers Shine Over Summer

S

ummer season for swimmers consists of several championship meets, culminating with the major meet. Swimmers begin preparation for the championships right after the spring break. And with the long-course season actually a short 18 weeks, there is no time to waste. MAC swimmers were represented at every level of competition. This year, the season’s end coincided with the Summer Olympics, where swimming competition is the main attraction.

Oregon Swimming returned to the 10 & Under Championships format for the younger swimmers. It was the perfect size meet for the competition pool in Albany, and coaches were happy to see their charges compete at state again.

Sydney Wilson, 10, broke several MAC records during the long-course season. She shattered two long-standing records in the 200 free and 200 IM. The records previously were set by Crystal Query 29 years ago. Sydney’s time was 2:35.39 (200 free) and 2:55.88 (200 IM). Inspired by her winning streak, she went on to break the 100 back record, last set by Tory Schnebly in 2015 in 1:23.37, with a 1:20.46 time and then bettered by more than 4 seconds another longstanding 100 fly record set by Molly Quan in 1987. Sydney placed first in the 200 free and 50 back, second in the 200 IM, 100 back, 100 free, and third in the 50 free.

Graham Inman has been working all season to improve his breast. That was evident when he dropped 2.49 seconds in his 200 IM, placing 11th in state. He was third in the 100 fly, sixth in the 50 free, seventh in the 50 fly, 10th in the 100 back, and 11th in the 100 free. Gabrielle Breda placed 11th in the 100 breast and Kaeli Chapman qualified for state for the first time, placing 18th in the 50 back.

Western Section Senior Sectionals is a senior meet in the Open division, representing 12 states. Kevin Keil and Hannah Cooney, both 14 years old and rising MAC hopefuls, achieved success in their signature event – the 200 breast.

Cooney swam a personal best and made her first final at this level. Keil won “C” final with a 2:26.63, which is a Winter Junior National qualifying time, just shy of the MAC record.

Grant Gooding, back from college and training with the team for summer, swam a personal best in the 100 breast, 50 free and 200 IM; Liam O’Shea had a personal best in the 100 free; and Nathan Nguyen reached his best in the 200 breast and 200 fly.

Allie Engstrom swam her season’s best in the 100 and 200 back (28 swam in the finals), and Elise Kreutzer finished 13th in the 50

MAC competitive swimmers of all different ages found success during the 2016 long course season, with many swimming in championship meets. free. Van Mathias finished sixth in the 100 breast and achieved Summer Junior Nationals bonus time. Rob Mead ended 17th in the 100 back with a personal best time. Brynne O’Shea swam a personal best in the 50 free, 200 and 400 IM, and finished sixth in the 100 backstroke. Liam O’Shea swam in the finals of the 100 and 200 back. Tyler Soo finished 14th in the 50 free and 15th in the 100 fly. Kate Westlake swam her season’s best times in the 50 and 100 free.

The 11 & Over state meet is one of the most important for that age group. Seven MAC swimmers were selected to compete in the 11-14 Oregon Swimming All-Star meet in Utah – Kevin Keil, Isabella Wallace, Hannah Cooney, Khai Tran, Mathias Kreutzer, Eli Rheingold and Cody Soo. Because of the rigorous competition schedule, many MAC swimmers did not vie in the full schedule. Despite partial participation, MAC’s team took third place with two swimmers winning the High Point Award – Tran, 12 and Keil, 14.

Doug Heymann finished second in the 400 free, with a personal best by a significant margin. Grace Inman took second place in the 50 free, and Anna Jorgensen, an emerging backr, took second and third place in the 100 and 200 back, respectively Nabil Kalahiki demonstrated proficiency across multiple strokes and events, winning the 100 fly and 200 IM, and placing second in the 200 back, and third in the 100 breast. Eleanora Kemp swam a very strong 100 fly while tuning up in preparation for her next championship meet. Her sister, Phoebe, made finals in both the 100 and 200 back with great time drops.

Kreutzer raced confidently and often against his teammate Tran for the gold. He

won the 100 fly, and placed second in the 100 free, 100 back, and 50 free.

Beau Lonnquist raced his heart out to second place in the 100 back, third place in the 200 back, and fourth place in the 100 breast and 200 IM. Emma Matous finished fourth in the 100 back and 100 breast. Katherine Lochner made finals in the 200 back and 200 breast. All three demonstrated a rare combination of skill in these strokes, which rarely go together.

Adelaide Foden-Vencil and John Kennedy represented MAC in distance events and fly.

Foden-Vencil finished fifth in the 400 IM, 800 and 1,500 free, and the 200 fly. Kennedy finished third in the 1,500 free, and swam two lifetime bests in the 200 fly in the finals.

This is his first time on the award stand at the state championships. Tory Schenbly made finals in the 50, 100 back, 100 breast, and 200 IM. Soo lived up to his “back-half Billy” reputation, swimming with excellent closing speed and refined race strategy, winning all his races in the last 30 meters of every race. He placed first in the 50, 100 and 200 free, 100 back, and fourth in the 100 fly.

Tran swam a perfect meet, winning every event he competed in in very close races (50,100, 200 free, 50, 100 breast, 200 IM) demonstrating refined race planning and execution.

Alessandra Pardini and Peter Hinnen made the finals in the 100 and 200 breast.

Fifteen MAC swimmers competed in Clovis, California, at the Western Senior Zones Championships. MAC team placed eighth out of 115 teams. This meet features over 2,000 swimmers from 12 states.

ATHLETICS Elise Kreutzer, the teams’ fastest sprinter, confidently dominated in her familiar events 50 and 100 free. Her times, 26.75 and 58.33, qualified her to compete at Winter Junior Nationals Emmy Daigle swam in finals in the 100 and 200 breast with career best times, finishing 20th and 28th respectively. Heymann improved his 50, 100, 200 free, 200 IM. Khalifha Kalahiki swam a strong 800 free and 200 and 400 IM making sizable strides toward the next level of competition. Eleanora Kemp improved across the board – 400 free, 200 and 400 IM, and had big drops in the 200 fly, achieving Senior Sectional cuts in her main events.

Laurel Kemp made significant improvements in her 100 and 200 breast, and achieved her goal of breaking 3 minutes in the 200 breast. Logan Kojiro quickly recovered from a shaky start in the 200 IM and raced toward personal best times in the 50, 100 and 200 free. He also made finals in the 100 and 200 breast, swimming best times for this season.

Rob Mead improved his time twice in the 200 back, his first time to get in finals. His relay lead off the 100 back also was a personal best time and within a stroking distance from achieving Junior National standards next season. Nathan Nguyen continues to develop confidence in racing at big meets: He swam his personal best in the 100 breast, 50 and 200 free, and 200 IM. Liam O’Shea swam personal best times in 200 IM, 100 fly and 200 back, making finals in his best events. Tyler Soo finished fourth in the 50 free. Jon Westlake competed at this level for the first time and proved himself a strong racer with personal bests in the 400 free, 100 and 200 breast.

Tristan Furnary, Van Mathias and Brynne O’Shea represented MAC at Junior Nationals, the top-qualifying meet for MAC swimmers this summer. The best swimmers in the nation headed to the University Of Minnesota in Minneapolis to race. Furnary is an experienced competitor at this level. Furnary made his first finals at the Summer Junior Nationals in the 200 IM and won his finals heat, stopping the clock at 2:06.60. His time is the second-fastest 200 IM by a MAC swimmer. O’Shea made her finals in the 200 back with a breakthrough preliminary swim that qualified her to compete at Senior Nationals. She swam an outstanding race in finals and improved it even more, bringing it down to 2:15.80, 12th place nationally and the third-fastest 200 back by a MAC swimmer. O’Shea also swam personal best times in the 100 free and 100 back. Mathias qualified sixth in preliminaries with a personal best of 54.93 He finished fifth in finals with a new Senior National qualifying time and new MAC Open record. Mathias’s time is ranked third nationally. He also swam a personal best time in the 100 breast, improving it twice at the meet. WM

ATHLETICS

Remembering Aquatics’ ‘Warm-Spirited Soul’

I

heard, “You have a nice backstroke.”

That is the only compliment I’ve ever received from a lifeguard. I’d just hefted myself from the West Pool, after one of my typically slow, early morning swims.

“Thanks!” I responded, cold and dripping wet, high-tailing it to the locker room to clean up. Until recently, I used to ponder, “Do I really have a good backstroke? Or was that lifeguard just being kind?”

Turns out my backstroke must be pretty decent.

Consider the source: John Allen De Roest. An All-American swimmer ranked seventh in the world in the 400 individual medley, captain (on full athletic scholarship) of the University of Washington swim team, collegiate All-American, 1972 Olympic Trials’ competitor, and long-term coach, de Roest had a storied swimming past.

But it was only after his sudden death – on Sept. 13, at age 64 – that many people at MAC, including those who knew him very well as a lifeguard and golfing buddy, learned about John’s prowess in the pool.

Andrew Mechow, MAC’s manager on duty, is one of many MAC staff members and club members who attended John’s standing-room only funeral on Sept. 18, at St. Joseph the Worker Church.

He said John never bragged about his swimming history; he, like so many others, learned about it at the funeral. “No one would ever know,” says Mechow, who’d worked with John for more than three years and knew him best as an avid golfer.

Mechow was well aware of John’s talent coaching kids, however; John loved it when Mechow’s 12-year-old daughter joined them on the greens. “He’d help her set up at the tee and be so encouraging.”

NOVEMBER 2016

John had decades of practice. Gary Leach, recently retired MAC swim coach, knew John from their collegiate swimming days in the early 1970s and was a close friend and fellow “low-stakes” poker player, Leach says. Their MAC paths crossed about eight years ago when John joined the Aquatics Department as a lifeguard and swim instructor.

“In his early years of coaching, John had some national top-10 athletes,” Leach recalls. Eventually, he continues, “His interest shifted to the younger athletes,” ensuring proper technique, sound mechanics, and having a fun.

“That is one thing John always insisted: You have to enjoy what you do or you won’t do it for long. John certainly practiced what he taught his young athletes.”

“He was a great teacher” to adults and children alike, says Kevin McNamara, fellow lifeguard and swim instructor who worked with John for seven years on the shift beginning at 4 a.m. “He treated kids as equals; they had fun.”

“Everywhere you look around the pool, you see him,” continues McNamara, referring to bins lining the West and 50-meter pools that John took upon himself to construct out of PVC piping for kick boards, pull buoys and other equipment.

Leach says, “Any other material would be rusted or broken by now.”

Kenyon Eagon, a long-time MAC swimmer and member, knew John in the 1960s when both swam competitively on high school teams (Lincoln High School for the former, and David Douglas High School for the latter). They rekindled their pool-talk friendship a few years ago on the West Pool deck.

John was a “warm-spirited, kind soul,” Eagon says. “I was especially sad to hear of his passing, as he had retired from MAC only about three weeks prior. He will be missed.”

John was with his three sons when he suffered a massive heart attack. The funeral program says, “John and (wife) Dale made their home a haven for countless kids – four children, foster children, and countless people who call John their ‘second dad.’”

McNamara says: “I’ve been in aquatics for 35 years, and not one person comes close to John and his positive attitude. …

He maintained a degree of excellence in everything he did. He’ll be a role model to me forever.”

I, too, am missing John.

NOVEMBER 2016

ATHLETICS golf, strength is not about bulking up, but is achieved by doing a greater number of reps (12 to 15), multiple sets (three to four), and using a lower weight. Set a schedule to work out three times per week for three months at MAC, strengthening your core, back, legs, and arms, and add a few extra yards to your game in 2017.

There are many ways to get in a cardio routine at MAC. Swimming, stationary bikes, running, racquetball and other activities increase your heart rate and improve endurance. On the golf course, you need to have energy for four to five hours, often trekking up and down hills, all while maintaining a good pace; and that doesn’t even include swinging or the mental stamina required to perform at your best. It’s difficult to swing a golf club when you are out of breath before taking the club out of your golf bag. Make a commitment to yourself to be active 30 minutes per day, four to five times per week to build up your endurance.

Stretching helps your muscles avoid injury, and in golf, flexibility plays a large role in rotation as well as getting the full extension of your backswing or follow-through. Hips are one of the areas that can always use additional stretching. Try lying on your back and pulling one knee forward while the other is still stretched out. Another stretch may be done lying on your back and pulling one leg across the other while still keeping your shoulders on the floor. Hold each drill for 30 seconds and repeat on the opposite side, repeating each side three times. This is recommended as a daily activity.

Please note that everyone may have different limitations when it comes to strength training, cardio, and flexibility – get in touch with a personal trainer at the MAC to customize a workout schedule for you.

HANDBALL

One-wall Game Gains Traction Most MAC members are aware of the many achievements by MAC handball players, which include numerous national titles and countless state and regional championships. Almost all of these have been won in the four-wall version of the game. Thanks to the good work and support of the Alten Handball Foundation, one-wall handball is now becoming popular among the game’s local aficionados. The foundation helped to build one-wall courts at a local school in Portland. With good weather, many players take the opportunity to hit the ball outdoors.

ATHLETICS Handball Continued from page 69 A one-wall court is slightly smaller than a four-wall court and, obviously, has only one wall – the front wall. Quickness and the ability to retrieve shots are prime values for players in the one-wall game.

The execution of a stroke is handled differently; there is little time for a classic set-up and beautifully executed stroke. One-wall play demands quick, short, powerful strokes because there is so little time between shots and no other walls to use to wait patiently for a ball to come back into your swing zone. In one-wall, it’s now or never.

Shots that are typically called “hinders” in four-wall are, however, perfectly legal in one-wall, so long as the shooter remains perfectly still. The defender then has to attempt to make a return even though the ball may not be visible at the time to pull the trigger.

This becomes an important tactic in onewall, aiming the ball to come right back near your without hitting yourself. You force the opponent to attempt a very difficult return with a minimal view of the ball. The end result of all this is that one-wall players over time develop their kill shots (firing the ball at the very bottom of the front wall) from almost any

location on the court to a degree not usually seen in the four-wall version of handball.

Several MAC players threw themselves into the most recent one-wall event, including Steve Grow, Conor Casey, Matt Steele, Charles Dean, and Dave Delaney. Players were assigned a playing partner and thrown into the fray. Grow and his partner won the event, Dean snagged second place, and Delaney persisted to pull out a win in the consolation bracket. Grow also was central to bringing the Irv Alten Foundation’s resources to the project when it was first proposed.

Annual awards The annual Kick-Off Banquet was scheduled for Sept. 14. Three important award winners were recognized during September’s kickoff banquet. John Van Gorder won the Cebula Award for his many contributions to the game and the great spirit and devotion he brings to the MAC handball community.

Marty Boozer, who literally has reshaped himself following a major health scare, was honored with the Most Improved Award.

Dr. Bob Gill, whose book about Portland’s Mel Renfro was recently published, was honored with the Sportsmanship Award, a most deserved recognition as Renfro is always gracious and complimentary on the court and around MAC.

RACQUETBALL

Enjoy a Warm Workout on the Court The holiday season is here. With the weather growing colder and wetter, racquetball is great for an indoor workout. Visit theMAC. com and opt in to the Racquetball email group for activity updates and clinics led by awesome member coaches. The annual Turkey Shoot is 4:30-10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21. The cost is $20 for adults and $10 for juniors and covers balls, food and drinks. There also is an informal event at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning. No need to sign up, come down and have some fun before the turkey sets in. Gobble Gobble.

TRIRUN

Stay Safe During Nighttime Workouts Thank you to all who came out to participate in the Karlyn Pipes swim clinic. This was the third event in the Tri/Run Committee’s series of informational and inspirational events this year. The committee will be planning more events for the upcoming year and is seeking members’ wants, needs and knowledge gaps when it comes to the multisport lifestyle.

Email Kelly@digitalschmidt.com and let us know what you would like to see in 2017.

Staying fit through the fall As autumn settles in, days grow shorter, giving us less time to run and bike during daylight hours. To maintain fitness, many jump on the treadmill or bike trainer and log miles indoors. While this certainly gets the job done, I often find myself gazing out the window craving the cool, fresh fall air in my hair and against my face. To squeeze in a few miles, this may mean getting out in the early morning dark or evening dusk, when runners and cyclists are less visible. Here are five tips to keep you safely rolling or running all through the winter.

Take a few steps to redeuce the risk of running at night.

• Don’t go out alone. Safety in numbers holds true on the road, so grab a friend or even your canine buddy and head out together.

• Lose the earbuds. While your favorite tunes may be motivating, they make it harder to be aware of your surroundings, so save them for your indoor workouts when you really need the inspiration.

New Name. Same Great Service.

Cornerstone Automotive has joined forces with AAA Oregon AutoSource to bring you an even better car buying experience!

More buying power, greater selection, superior vehicles.

• Run against traffic. This allows a better and early view of the traffic nearest you so you can adjust for imperfect drivers.

• Be seen. Be flashy. LED lights and reflective gear that allow you to be seen from the front, back and sides are ideal. Headlamps also work, with the added benefit of lighting up your route.

• Pack your bag. Carry your ID and cell phone in case you need assistance or end up making the call for someone else in need.

A running backpack or waist belt can keep your hands free. Now, get out and enjoy the benefits of running, safely, all throughout the season!

Last but not least, congratulations to Carrie Zografos, who WON the women’s Kauai Half-marathon in September, coming in in third overall at 1:29:21. Way to go Carrie!

125 Coming Back to the Same Spot Every Week

I

f you participate in a group exercise class, I want you to be honest; you have a spot that belongs to you. Come on.

Be honest.

A few examples: people who drape a towel over a certain bike long before the spin class starts. How about the scrum that forms outside class doors, as if the class is a sellout with only a few available seats?

Next time you’re in class, notice that the same people stand in the same spot time after time, class after class. And then look at where you’re standing.

I call it the “My Spot Syndrome.”

In Linda Spaulding’s Boot Camp class – I’ve attended for more than 10 years – you can find me in the second row from the back, on the far left side of the room.

Why? “I think it has to do with comfort level,” said Spaulding, who’s taught for more than 20 years at MAC. “I’ve seen people get to class really early to make sure they get their spot,” she said.

“And if someone is already there, it’s like there is no other place in the studio to go.

It’s their spot.”

The people in the front row, she said, are the gatekeepers who understand the class and the instructions. Call them the varsity. That’s why you will never find me in the front row.

“Those spots are earned and respected,” Spaulding said “The people there are very protective; I’ve seen them offer help to new people.”

They are also a bit protective of the real estate.

“They usually mention that is so-and-so’s spot if someone else tries to stand there,” Spaulding said.

Spaulding adds that the back row are typically newer people, or those who want no audience while they work out. Others in the class, she said, want to be near or far away from a door. More than a few are particular about who’s next to them.

NOVEMBER 2016

While it’s all very subtle, as if everyone was attending a polite cocktail party, Spaulding said the instructors in every class notice.

“I find comfort with people in the same place,” she said. “It’s like the Star Wars Force.

When people change place, it’s like a disruption in the force and can throw off class energy. My class is like a team and everyone has their place and role to work together for the positive workout.”

When she’s not leading a class, Spaulding admits she likes to stand in the front row.

“When I stand behind people, I find myself jumping left and right, trying to get a direct hit from the instructor,” she said.

“When I’m not in the front, for some reason I can’t do anything.”

These are all real emotions, said Elliott Waksman, who earned his master’s degree in sports psychology and maintains a private practice in Southwest Portland working with athletes and teams on the mental game of sport.

“Routines bring us a sense of control which helps us feel more comfortable,” he said. “The research suggests that little foot holds of control can be enormously helpful during times of discomfort, which for many of us can be that frantic search to find a special workout area.”

But does a “spot” really matter?

“While finding the perfect spot in the yoga studio may be initially comforting, it has no practical impact on performance,” he said.

“Similarly to wearing lucky socks, your workout spot is more of a superstition than a proven routine to be properly prepared, mentally and physically. You control routines, but superstitions control you. “ Waksman offers this advice.

“Feeling comfortable as your class begins may put you at ease,” he said. “But don’t worry if your favorite spot is already taken. You can still enjoy all the benefits of your group class.”

Keri Donovan, the club’s Wellness Supervisor, believes we all are “creatures of habit.”

Some members like to mix it up, but others prefer to find the same spot for the same class, week in and week out.

“Setting up your space in a group exercise class can be a science,” she said. “It may be where the sun isn’t in your eyes, or you can see yourself in two different mirrors, or the bike fits just right or where you can have an eye on the instructor.”

The real estate saying – “location, location, location” – applies to the workout rooms.

“Once a person has found that prime position, it isn’t given up easily or changed,” she said. “For some it takes weeks, even months to find this location. People get upset and many absolutely hate change.”

Donovan understands.

“Entering a group exercise class can expose vulnerabilities,” she said. “Some feel as though the whole class is watching them and when they believe they can’t execute a move, push harder or lift a certain weight, they see it as a failure.

“That special spot in the room provides comfort to those who are taking a huge leap just by entering the door,” she said. “We praise members who decide to enter the room. By making that decision, and rushing to that special spot in the room, it means they are already successful. What they do after that is just extra credit.”

Look for me in that back row.
