ultnomah Athletic Club’s mission is to enrich lives, foster friendships and build upon our traditions of excellence in athletic, social and educational programs. With 125 years of doing so, MAC has strong connections to the community and Janice Marquis continues to give back PRESIDENT though a variety of outreach activities, event sponsorship, and volunteerism. On MAC’s 100th anniversary, the club launched the Multnomah Athletic Foundation to help support underserved youth through athletics in the community. For nearly 25 years, MAC members have been the primary funding source for the foundation.

This year, the foundation issued community grants totaling $56,000 to 23 nonprofit organizations. It awarded $42,000 to high school seniors for scholarships, including three Joe Loprinzi Scholarships totaling $26,000, three Faye Sasser Employee Scholarships totaling $10,000 to MAC employees’ children, and $15,000 to athletic seniors through separate scholarships. Over 42 local organizations sit on the list of recent grantees.

This year, our community relations ad hoc committee drafted a piece on MAC’s economic impact to the community. Considering wages and benefits and employee-paid state income taxes, local and state corporate taxes, local Metro and vendor payments, and tournaments, the total economic impact that MAC provides to the community is almost $36 million. I would also like to mention just a few things that MAC does for the community in other ways: We donate use of our facilities to the Lincoln Swim Team and to the Oregon State Games and various community/non-profit groups, such as Albertina Kerr, Red Cross and Minds Matter. Moreover, MAC members, management and staff are active in a variety of outreach activities. MAC committees, comprised of member volunteers, support community activities such as blood drives and concerts; the Balladeers and the MelloMacs volunteer their time singing at assisted living facilities, retirement communities and sporting events throughout the Portland metro area.

At the All Committee Dinner this year, MAC Committee members rallied together and raised another $9,000 for the Oregon Food Bank.

The club also supports a variety of community organizations such as Self Enhancement Inc., Portland State University, PIL high school sports, the Portland Trail Blazers Street Jam, the Portland Rose Festival Princess Lunch and Navy League reception, the Oregon Sports

Authority Sportlandia Auction and the Oregon Disability Games. MAC’s culinary staff volunteers with the American Culinary Foundation, makes monthly meal donations to Janus Youth Services, and hosts the annual Thanksgiving dinner for residents at Rosenbaum Plaza. MAC members’ participation in the annual Giving Tree has meant a Christmas gift for hundreds of local children at Friendly House, Morrison Center, West Women’s and Children’s Shelter, and Christmas Family Assistance Foundation.

And this year, while celebrating MAC’s 125th anniversary, 46 MAC committees volunteered time to various activities and events, such as the Hemophilia Walk, Habitat for Humanity and New Avenues For Youth, just to mention a few.

MAC recently presented the Special Olympics with a check for $3,000 as a result of the 125 Ride cycling event.

If you have any doubt that the club and its members don’t get involved in the community – I encourage you to review this partial list of volunteer efforts.

Wellness camp Did you hear about our Wellness Summer Camp? This June, MAC Wellness featured its first summer camp for teens, who spent a week learning how to live balanced lives throughout the year. The five-day camp covered nutrition with MAC Registered Dietitian Tysen Christensen. For example, teens learned just how much sugar is in a Starbucks Frappuccino and how much sugar is in drinks and foods they consume on a daily basis. They also participated in yoga and meditation, a Pilates session, and a boot camp class in Washington Park. Investing in education and providing for the present and future needs of youth at MAC is a key component of MAC Wellness.

Saving energy For the past two years, MAC staff has been working with the Energy Trust of Oregon’s Strategic Energy Management group to reduce energy consumption by changing how the building is operated and how the occupants use the building. The first year, 2015, was focused on actively managing the operations of the building. The majority of this work happened behind the scenes and consisted mostly of modifying protocols when equipment is not in use. This work is ongoing and includes efforts to engage members and staff to change energy-use habits.

The club reduced utility expenses by $237,483 from 2014 to 2015, and has reduced utility expenses by another $27,029 so far this year.

The Energy Trust of Oregon issued the club a check for $35,510 for its efforts. Whenever you reach for that third towel, you might just give it some thought. WM OCTOBER 2016

any members have asked about the whereabouts of some of our former superstar employees. I reached out to Sara Baker, my and the board’s former executive administrative assistant, former Aquatics Manager and Norm Rich Gymnastics Coach GENERAL MANAGER Reid MacDonald and former Climbing Coach Peter Julia to ask them how they are doing. I’m sharing this information with our members in my “Where in the World Are They?” column.

Baker responded: “It’s been almost five years since we moved to southern Italy, and Bryan and I are still enjoying la dolce vita and the wonderful warm climate of Puglia. We seem to have picked a great place to live, as our town is lively throughout the year with concerts, church festivals, and food and winetasting events. And of course, enjoying cafe culture is an important part of our daily life here. We usually travel for a week or two every month to explore a different part of Europe or Italy. I try to learn at least a few phrases of the language of anywhere we travel, so besides all that trip planning, learning languages keeps me very busy. All in all, la vita è bella!”

Reid Macdonald replied: “Since leaving MAC in 2011, I joined the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Service Officer (diplomat) and have been serving overseas for most of the last five years. I served in Jakarta, Indonesia, as attache and deputy human resources officer, and now as vice consul and second secretary in the consular section at the U. S. Embassy in Madrid. In Jakarta, I was responsible for handling human resources issues for all 1,400 staff, updating policies, managing the employee recognition program, and working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on issues including diplomatic accreditation. In December of 2013, after two years of living in the Big Durian, I moved to D.C. for eight months to learn Spanish and the ins and outs of immigration law, and how it applied to issuing visas to travelers wanting to go to the U.S. During my short stay in D.C., I married my high school crush and we moved to Madrid, Spain, where we have spent the past two years on an extended honeymoon. I have spent my time in Spain issuing more than 12,000 visas, assisting U.S. citizens when they need passports or have fallen on hard times, and trying to travel around the country as often possible.

My next assignment is to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where I will be working as a logistics officer for three years, after spending time in D.C. again to learn Serbo-Croatian and government regulations for the different areas of logistics I will be working with.”

Peter Julia shared: “I am currently a seminarian studying to be a Catholic priest for the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon. After studying philosophy for two years at Mt. Angel Seminary in Oregon, I was asked by the Archbishop of Portland to continue my studies in theology at the Pontifical North American College in Vatican City. This fall, I will enter my third year of theology in Italy to finish my bachelor of Sacred Theology degree. Once complete, I will have two more years of study in Italy to receive a License in Sacred Theology. The opportunity to study in Italy near the heart of the Catholic Church has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. I have had the opportunity to learn the Italian language, travel in Europe, and learn about my faith with men from all over the United States. Every day brings hard work and a high level of commitment, but above all I take the same advice that I used to give as a climbing coach at MAC – persevere!”

I am extraordinarily impressed with where in the world our former staff have landed and how they have balanced their lives, personally and professionally. These individuals made large positive impressions on our members during their careers here at MAC. While we never want to lose staff to other lands or professions, we are always supportive of personal growth and advancement. We will continue to follow Sara, Reid and Peter on their life journeys and share with our members their stories and whereabouts. Needless to say, I personally miss them greatly!

Keeping budget in check As I begin to review the annual budget in September and October, I am reminded how many moving parts our club has within it!

Our club has over 20,000 members, a budget of $40 million encompassing 26 sports, four restaurants and bars, a large catering facility serving member events and business meetings, and approximately 600 part- or full-time employees. Recently, I was challenged by our Trustees, and in turn challenged all of our budget makers, to better ourselves. Part of our challenge is to look at ways of reducing waste, saving funds so we can thoughtfully spend members’ money the best ways possible. We value our relationship with members, and always want to meet or exceed your expectations by balancing your needs and wants! WM OCTOBER 2016

embers often ask and tell me about our staff. What is their name? Where are they from? They should really cut their hair. They ran a great class. This speaks to the club’s mission of fostering friendships and creating a valuable Ed Stoner community.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR One recent question led me to gather some information that seemed appropriate to share in October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What I found was there are many more colors than pink to recognize cancer and every month has some form of awareness, according to the American Cancer Society. All of them are meant to raise awareness and provide support by building a community, much like MAC does. Looking to answer the question of why Andrew Mechow, a morning manager on duty, has worn pink every Wednesday for nearly two years, showed how these communities can overlap and interact at MAC. Andrew was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a seemingly random interaction. His early detection was valuable, but the support he received from the club, its staff and members was what Andrew came to most appreciate. Whether it be a member checking in with him daily, another introducing him to a support group or photos from others wearing pink while travelling and thinking of him created the supportive family he needed at that time. To give back Andrew offers similar support and has chosen to wear pink on Wednesdays as a vehicle to opening a dialogue about cancer, screenings and support. No he isn’t wearing it for breast cancer, and in case you were wondering, prostate cancer’s official ribbon color is light blue.

The point is pink is still distinctive on a man and he does it consistently to stand out so you can ask, share, learn and be part of a caring community.

Having recently passed a milestone birthday that suggests testing, I am reminded that those check-ups are important. Andrew and I encourage you to follow through on them as well, so you can remain an active part of this valuable community. One that supports each other in many ways.

I look forward to seeing you around the club this month participating in MAC’s community, maybe even sharing a cause that is special to you. WM

New employee Lauren Allison joins the Child Care Department as lead attendant. She brings over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities. Originally from South Florida, she spent many happy years working in schools and drama therapy groups for autistic children and teens. Using her degree in theatre performance, Lauren loves implementing imaginative play and expressive creativity in the classroom. When she’s not at MAC, Lauren works professionally with local theaters and filmmakers. She also loves to cook, hang with loved ones and ride her bike. She looks forward to developing inventive, exciting curriculum in a safe and fun environment for the MAC kids.

Member Kim Faden won the women’s open division of the MAC Club Championship golf tournament at the OGA Golf Club in Woodburn in September with an even par round of 72. This is Faden’s second consecutive victory in the women’s open division. Faden attended the University of Nebraska, where she was a member of the Husker golf team. She also graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law. Faden owns Kona Fit Camp, which organizes group fitness trips to Hawaii.

She recently hit her first hole in one one the par-3 No. 17 at Kona Country Club. MAC’s Golf Club Championships are held each fall at a different course around the Portland metro area.

Senior family member Jeff Wright won the men’s open division of the MAC Club Championship golf tournament at the OGA Golf Club in Woodburn in September with an even par round of 72. Wright is a native Portlander who has been working in the golf industry for 10 years, currently as membership director for Portland Golf Club.

Wright and his wife Michele have been MAC members for a year and have twin daughters who just turned 2. He also serves on the MAC Golf Committee. His championship round was a battle with a double bogey, four bogies and six birdies to shoot even for the day.

Wright also won the closest to the pin competition in the men’s open division.

Junior members Stella Eastman (left) and Avery Eastman served as ballpersons during the the Davis Cup matches between the U.S. and Croatia at Tualatin Hills Tennis Center in July. Stella and Avery are triplets (they have a brother) and they are seventh graders at Gilkey International Middle School. They turn 13 on Oct. 9. Stella is a competitive tennis player who plays three to four days a week and in USTA events, and their family had purchased tickets to the Davis Cup as spectators when a friend mentioned that they were holding tryouts for Davis Cup ballpersons.

Although they didn’t meet the preferred age requirement, Stella was all for it and Avery, who is a competitive rock climber on the MAC Silver Elite Team, decided she would like to try out as well. Seventy-two kids tried out and 18 ballpersons were chosen. It was hard work, but a great experience for both of them. Both girls are fluent French speakers, as Gilkey is an offshoot of the French American International School, a French Immersion school. Along with tennis for Stella and rock climbing for Avery, which take up most of their free time, the girls love animals, art, the outdoors, and hanging out with family.

Join Chefs for a Night ‘Around the Fire’ J

oin all-star chefs Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez-Denton for a special cookbook dinner at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 29 at MAC. Denton and Quiñónez-Denton are redefining our understanding of grilled cuisine at their aptly named Ox Restaurant, where they create food they call “Argentine-byway-of-Portland.” Their debut cookbook, Around the Fire, is opening readers’ eyes to the vast possibilities of the backyard barbecue. Inventive, flavorful and achievable recipes showcase unexpected cuts of meat, seasonal produce (proving that grill-centric parties can be surprisingly vegetarian-friendly), and plenty of starters, salads, desserts, and drinks to round out your next indoor or outdoor feast.

Denton and Quiñónez-Denton join the MAC culinary team to craft dishes from the cookbook, chat with members and sign cookbooks during this special evening.

The cost is $75 per person or $130 per couple and includes a copy of the book. Sign up by Monday, Oct. 31, to guarantee your copy of the cookbook. This event is for those age 21 and older.

Same Restaurant, New Name – Celebrate 1891 in 2016 B

eginning at 10 p.m. Dec. 31, the restaurant 1891, formerly known as the Men’s Bar, will become the premier dining spot at MAC. The team is excited to embrace this new epoch in the club’s evolution. Multnomah Athletic Club was founded in 1891. So was the city of Portland. The July 1 Morning Oregonian stated, “The elections of June 1 and June 15 have brought about a new city entity, the city of Portland, comprising the old civic structures of Albina, East Portland, and the town on the west bank, named by a flip of a coin. Now, on July 1, 1891, we face a new future as the largest western city north of San Francisco… The citizens of the city of Portland can look forward to the future with pride and a sense of accomplishment.”

During the month of January, the restaurant will feature $18.91 specials every day. New menu items and drink specials will be a part of 1891 all year. MACtini’s will still offer happy hour from 4-6 p.m. and 8 p.m. until closing. More information will be included in The Winged M and MACtivities in the coming months.

As always, our motivation is looking to celebrate the best of tradition and bring enticing new experiences to our members. WM

Shop, then Eat, Local Ingredients

W

hat do you get when you mix a dairy farm-raised chef from Normandy, France, a two-decade Pacific Northwest address, and local bounty? These ingredients make award-winning MAC Chef Philippe Boulot.

Boulot’s careful research into and sampling of the best local ingredients inform each and every vendor setting up in MAC’s Turnaround for the Oct. 14 farmers market from 3-7 p.m.

Like the three prior open-air markets MAC has hosted, Boulot is the idea man behind the execution.The chef says the market offers both the best of Pacific Northwest gustatory treasures and clubwide departmental cooperation.

While a club event, it is open to the public to bring together members and MAC’s neighbors “Once you get involved with Oregon ingredients, you have to learn it all,” including farmers’ lifestyles and challenges, and where and how to access what they grow, Boulot says.

Farm to Fork Dinner Boulot and his culinary team craft a dinner using ingredients sourced from the market at 7 p.m. The four-course menu includes Pomegranate Roasted Kiyokawa Pear Salad, Mussels a la Normandy, Carmen Ranch Sous Vide Flat Iron Steak and Ginger Gold Apple Croustade. Registration is required for the dinner. The cost is $55.

125th Anniversary Events in October Thursday, Oct. 14: Junior Dance The Junior Events Committee presents the 7-8th grade junior dance with a MAC homecoming theme.

Registration is required.

MAC Volunteer Heroes by Kirsten Leonard, MACREACH MACREACH, the club’s 125th anniversary volunteer effort, has been in full swing since February, with committees working in the community to benefit local nonprofits and having fun getting to know one other in a different venue.

From the Karate Committee: “We had fun! Portland Food Project said we helped collect, weigh and distribute almost 12,000 lbs. of food equivalent to over 10,000 meals. It was quite an accomplishment.”

The Golf Committee worked with 2016 CAMBIA Portland Classic LPGA Tour Event in support of the Evan’s Scholar Program, volunteering 140 hours over four days. “It was really amazing being up close and interacting with the tour players.”

Appropriately, Junior Programs and Activities Committee worked at New Avenues for Youth. “We spent the first part of our visit making a hot meal for the youth. Once the doors to the facility

opened, we served the youth and got the chance to learn more about them individually as they got their food…

This was a unique opportunity to interact and deliver support to foster, at-risk, and homeless youth aged 14-24 to overcome their barriers and realize their potential.”

Just a few testimonials and photos from the dozens we’ve received. More committees will be volunteering in the months ahead. Join in, and MACREACH!

The Junior Weight Room will move to a more functional space, where the batting cage is now, as part of an upcoming facilities project.

Project Improves Jr. Weight Room, Creates Teen Lounge New Tetris program will create more space for athletics

C

onvincing kids that “workout” and “fun” are not mutually exclusive can be tough.

But MAC has a plan to change that.

This month a project starts that will replace the small, dated Junior Weight Room with a bigger, brighter and more functional space called “Fit Zone” on the second floor. A turfed space with movable glass doors, it will have the latest and greatest training equipment, including a Railyard portable obstacle course, a TRX suspension rack system, a light board, a punching station and two virtual reality exercise bikes. Staff will be there to show kids how to use the new equipment.

The Fit Zone will go in the space currently allotted to the batting cages, which will stay on the second floor but move to the other side of the building. The area outside the Junior Lounge on the E&C balcony will turn into a Teen Lounge, with more comfortable furniture and lots of outlets. “Anytime you say there will be more outlets, the teens get excited,” says Athletic Director Ed Stoner.

These changes are part of a larger project called Tetris, named after the puzzle video game because it solves a number of club issues

by moving functions to different spaces and meeting outstanding code requirements, such as adding more bathroom capacity and a firewall. The realignment will also allow for more athletics offices, including a conference room.

Tetris will cost about $1.1 million and is the major capital project slated for the club in the 2017 fiscal year. It’s expected to take two to four months, which means the Junior Weight Room and batting cage will be closed for a period of time.

Donna Wax, who is a member of the Youth Sports Realignment ad hoc committee, discussed the cost of the project, pointing out how many problems it solves without going outside the existing footprint of the building. The new Fit Zone will be more like the Junior Weight room used to be before it shrunk: a place with staff that made it fun and knew all the kids’ names. That’s where her younger son Finn learned to get strong enough to try out for the gymnastics team.

“It was much better than parking your kid in the lounge while they waited for you to finish your workout,” she says.

Look for more information on the Tetris program in the November Winged M. –Nancy Keates WM

In Memoriam Ambrose Martin Cronin July 4, 1930-Aug. 22, 2016 Senior family member Ambrose Martin “Bubby” Cronin passed away peacefully at age 86 on August 22, 2016 surrounded by his loving family. He will be remembered as a longtime local business owner, family man, generous friend and athlete, but it was his zest for life that leaves an indelible footprint.

Born July 4, 1930 in Portland to Elizabeth L. and Ambrose M. Cronin, Jr., Bubby was the second of six children and the great-grandson of Henry and Georgiana Pittock. He attended Cathedral Grade School, Columbia Prep High School and Georgetown University.

A year after his father died in a helicopter accident, Bubby returned home from college to help his grandfather run the family business. He took a hiatus from work to join the Army during the Korean War. He was sent to Alaska for a year and was also stationed in Nevada during the atomic bomb tests at Yucca Flats. In 1954, Bubby married Susan Erickson and together they raised their six children in the same house in which he grew up. He established sole ownership of Electrical Distributing, Inc. and expanded the company from radios and televisions, to other household appliances and eventually home theater components. As president of EDI, Bubby hired longtime, loyal employees, many who stayed with the company for decades. In the early 1990s he and his sons, Marty and Huck, acquired BASCO (Builders Appliance Supply Company) and grew it into a prominent and successful enterprise. Bubby continued working until just a few weeks prior to his death. In 1986, Bubby married Anne Helm and helped raise her two daughters.

Anne and Bubby found a mutual passion in golf and spent winters in Indian Wells with a new community of friends at The Vintage Club. They celebrated their 30th anniversary in June by traveling to Banff National Park on the Trans Canadian Railway.

Bubby enjoyed a myriad of sports and hobbies over the years, including hunting, fishing, tennis, squash, golf, skiing, waterskiing and jumping horses. Additionally, Bubby was a member of the Portland Golf Club, The Racquet Club and the Multnomah Athletic Club. He was also an accomplished pilot, photographer and archivist who built a television museum featuring news and electronics from each decade beginning in the 1920s.

Bubby’s other great passion was Notre Dame Football, so much so that he starred as the avid fan for an Adidas commercial promoting the program. In addition to his parents

Lakamas Lake vacation home, one of Bubbys favorite getaways was his fishing lodge on Clowhom Lake in British Columbia. Because of its remote location, Bubby flew groups in by seaplane and shared Clowhom with friends and family for more than 45 years. It was there he taught his children and grandchildren the nuances of fresh and salt water fishing.

Bubby is survived by his wife, Anne; three sisters, Libby Noyes, Dottie Schoonmaker and Sally Pope (Guy); brothers Ted and Pat (Pris) and stepbrother Jim Meier (Mary); six children, Melanie Callander (Charlie), Ambrose M. Marty, Sara Freeman (Perk), Kate Besse, and Christopher Huck (Jennie); his stepdaughter Carrie Madding (John); step son-in-law Jeff Wilebski; 14 grandchildren; and two great grandchildren. Bubby was preceded in death by his son, Timothy, stepdaughter Molly Wilebski and his Mother, Betty, who died in 2014 at the age of 110. The family is so grateful for the wonderful care provided by Providence St. Vincent hospital and the loving care of Sheri, who was like a guardian angel during his last few weeks.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Providence St. Vincent Hospital Foundation (www.providencefoundations. org/psymc), Jesuit High School (www.jesuitportland.org), or St. Marys Academy (www. stmaryspdx.org). Godspeed to the man who dressed colorfully and always arrived with a camera in hand, a smile on his face and genuine love in his heart

Tim Haslach June 3, 1961 - July 6, 2016 Senior Family member Tim Haslach will always be remembered for being big in both heart and stature. A consummate storyteller, he had a quick wit and winning smile, easily making a friend of anyone he met. He was a proud father – when he was with or talked about his two children, Caroline and Peter, his joy was contagious. Tim was also a loving husband, having married his true love, Sara Burton, on Dec. 27, 2014, just four months after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

He was not going to let anything stop the life they dreamed of together, certainly not cancer, and that is how they lived.

Always the optimist, Tim made the best of every situation. Even while battling cancer, he traveled frequently with his family and friends. In the spring of 2015, Tim and Sara traveled to Ireland for his sister Pat’s wedding.

Later that year, Tim and Sara spent their first wedding anniversary with Caroline and Peter in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Even when his pain

became more difficult in May 2016, he was able to travel to see Caroline graduate from Belmont University in Tennessee.

Tim’s sharp mind and tenacious demeanor helped him fight every challenge cancer threw at him, but ultimately he lost the battle on July 6 at the Kaiser Westside Medical Center. That weekend, he had enjoyed the ocean view from his beloved deck in Gearhart, Oregon. He showed grace until the end, surrounded by his wife, children, mother Pat, and sister Mary.

Tim was born in Toledo, Ohio – the fourth of Patricia and Frank Haslach’s five children and their only son. When Tim was 4, the family moved to Syosset, New York, where he attended St. Edward The Confessor Grade School. When he was 10, the family moved to Oregon and Tim attended Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School in Lake Oswego and then Jesuit High School in Beaverton. Tim spent two years swimming for the U.S. Naval Academy, where he had great adventures, followed by earning his Bachelor’s in Political Theory from Santa Clara University in 1983.

He loved Northern California and stayed on to complete his Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara Law School in 1988. After the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, Tim decided it was time to move back to Oregon. He loved to joke that the only part of California he brought with him was his love for the Giants and the 49ers. After passing the Oregon Bar, Tim found his place at Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt. He appreciated the rich history of the firm and the integrity of his partners.

After joining Schwabe, Tim pioneered the development of the consortia model, which became the primary mechanism for creating and “policing” information technology standards, crucial to modern technology and thus society. Along with only a handful of other attorneys in the nation, he engaged in groundbreaking, highly innovative lawyering, developing a set of legal frameworks that have become precedents for others in the field. There were numerous standard bodies Tim was involved in creating. His legal work will live on in new technologies created for decades to come.

Equally important to him was his work for nonprofits such as The Black Parent Initiative, Oregon Sports Authority, and Jamii Moja. The week before he passed, Tim helped Paws Assisting Veterans get legal representation at Schwabe.

Tim was an accomplished athlete, having been an Oregon High School State Swimming Champion, an All-American Swimmer, United States Masters Swimmer, and a rugby player at Santa Clara. In 1991, Tim found his way back to the pool and was Continued on page 26 OCTOBER 2016

Michael Leming June 21, 1963 – June 25, 2016 Michael truly lived life to the fullest. His life was tragically cut short while vacationing in Norway in a BASE jumping accident.

Michael was born in Corvallis. He graduated from Sunset High School in Beaverton, attended the University of Oregon, and graduated from Portland State University.

More recently, Michael worked at Nike for 15 years and was Chief Talent Scout when he left in early 2015. He had a sincere gift of caring for others, He was a friend to hundreds and impacted the lives of many around the

world. Michael was a mountaineer and veteran of Portland Mountain Rescue since 2000, summiting Mt. Hood over 200 times. Michael also volunteered for Big City Mountaineers, as well as for other dynamic causes.

His favorite quote, from mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev, describes him well: “Mountains are cathedrals: grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I go to them as humans go to worship…from their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future and with unusual acuity, I am allowed to experience the present moment. My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation, on each journey I am reborn.” -Anatoli Boukreev Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Reis Leming and Mary Joan Nokes. He is survived by his stepmother, Kathy Leming; his sisters, Gail Parry and Debra Ross; his six nephews and nieces; the love of his life, Erin Jacobson; and by friends too numerous to count.

Suggested memorials are to the Portland Mountain Rescue or to Big City Mountaineers.

Janice McKinnon May 25, 1936-July 30, 2016 Senior preferred member Janice McKinnon died July 30, 2016. She was 80.

Janice was born May 25, 1936, to Howard and Marvel Graham in Seattle. She was an accomplished dancer in her youth.

While attending Ballard High School and the University of Washington, she dated and then married the love of her life, Michael W. McKinnon, in 1956. Life with Michael first took her to Pensacola, Fla., during his naval officer and flight training, and then Seattle, before settling in Portland in 1962.

In 1977, the family moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where she opened three women’s clothing stores, Mercantile and Pappagallo.

She traveled extensively as Michael entered the airline industry with Wien Air Alaska. They returned to Seattle and Portland around 1990.

Her love of family and community was evident as a homemaker and friend, with parent involvement with Ainsworth Elementary School, Lincoln High School and West Anchorage High School, and her work with the Junior League of Portland.

She inspired many to make fitness a daily part of life. Fond memories include the Portland Art Museum docent program, Cabaret Pops, fashion shows, dinner parties, running marathons with her daughters, participating in MAC activities and athletics for over 50 years, and watching the grandchildren in sports activities.

BARREL Betting on the

Art Larrance on sour beers, MAC’s M-Pale Ale, and how the deal that ushered in the state’s beer industry was brokered in the Men’s Locker Room.

fter helping to create Oregon’s craft beer industry at Portland Brewing Co. in the 1980s, Art Larrance struck out on his own in search of the next big thing in beer. With the Northwest beer scene in the throes of hop hysteria, he drew inspiration from the region’s wine industry, creating barrel-aged beers that now garner praise from around the globe. The owner of Cascade Barrel House and Raccoon Lodge sat down to discuss his brewery and share a few moments when MAC played an important role in Portland beer history.

When I was at Portland Brewing, we sold beer to MAC. I left Portland Brewing in 1994, and when I started on my own, I wanted to be able to drink my beer again at the club. So I went to management, I think it was (former General Manager) Steve Tidrick that we worked with. I thought it was a good thing for the club to have its own house brand, and I thought it should be a beer that you want to drink after you work out. It should be a lighter beer. So it’s not overly hoppy. To me, it’s more refreshing than having a heavier IPA or something higher in alcohol.

I joined MAC in 1967. When I joined the club it cost me $500 to There were four groups of us in 1984 that wanted to brew join, payable in this manner: A $125 initiation when you joined, I beer and sell it on the same premises. It was the McMenamin was 23. When I turned 25, I did another $125, and when I turned Brothers, the Widmer Brothers, Dick Ponzi, who started 30, I paid $250, for a total of $500 for a single, senior member.

Bridgeport, and Fred Bowman and I; we started Portland brewing. But when Prohibition was lifted on April 7, 1933, the federal I started homebrewing in the latter ’70s and early ’80s with government sent out guidelines for legislators to consider when friends. In 1983, Red Hook got started up in Seattle and Bert they were creating state laws. The federal government wanted to Grant (the namesake of Grant’s Scottish Ale and founder of Yakima give authority to the states. Prior to Prohibition, a lot of breweries Brewing) got started up in Yakima. In the summer of ’84, we said, owned saloons and restaurants. One of the guidelines suggested “Why should they have a brewery in Seattle and Yakima and not in by the federal government was that breweries not be able to own Portland?” So I said, “I’ll call Mr. Grant on Monday and see if we restaurants. They wanted to have the three-tier system of manufaccan go visit with him in Yakima.” He had the first brewpub going ture, wholesale and retail. When they were brewing and selling on in the U.S. We told him we wanted to talk to him about a consultpremises, they were bypassing the middleman. Well, that’s exactly ing agreement. He said, “Well, I’ve got 20 minutes for you.” We what we wanted to do. And the four groups were sitting around went up on a Saturday and spent three hours with him, and each talking, and I said, “Well I have a friend, Tom Mason, he’s the rep of us gave him a check for $1,500 as a downpayment on an $8,500 in my neighborhood, and I see him all the time at MAC.” We were consulting agreement for him to in the shower. This was when the teach us how to build a brewery and showers didn’t have partitions, that “Some of my longest, dearest brewing teach us how to make beer. Then we only happened recently. I said, “Hey friends took me aside and said, ‘Hey Art, got the rights to make his products Tom, I want to talk to you about later, his Grant’s Scottish Ale, his legislation. We want to be able to do you really think people are going to imperial stout and his winter ale. brew beer and sell beer on the same And we built our brewery, Portland go over there and drink sour beers?’” premise.” That’s how it started.

Brewing, at 1339 N.W. Flanders.

I rode MAC’s midweek ski bus for years back in the late ’70s and early ’80s. During that time we were planning our brewery, and the Ponzis were also on the bus. So we were talking about naming our brewery. And Dick Ponzi said, “What are you going to call your brewery?” I said, “Portland Brewing.” He said, “You can’t do that, we’ve already got that name.” I said, “No, we’ve already registered it, Dick.” He asked when we did that. I said, “Last week.”

And that’s how we wound up as Portland Brewing. They called their brewery Columbia River Brewing to start, and later changed the name to Bridgeport.

We sold stock to 26 people, and at least a third were MAC members.

Mac MacTarnahan became a principal stockholder in the brewery at that time.

I left in ’94 to do Raccoon Lodge and Cascade Brewing, to own a brewery by myself rather than with partners. Raccoon Lodge opened on Dec. 11, 1998. Portland Brewing was a manufacturing plant, and it was set up to manufacture and sell most of its beer off premises. I wanted to be selling most of my beer on premises, and be more restaurant oriented. continued on page 33 OCTOBER 2016

Cascade Barrel House’s sour beers are typically aged for at least one and a half years, typically in used wine barrels. continued from page 31 On this particular lot (Raccoon Lodge), I could not exceed 50 percent of my building size for manufacturing. This is not an industrial zone, it’s a commercial zone. So I was limited by my size. There is no place to expand the building, so we’re locked into what we’re doing right here. It was difficult for me to compete with Widmer, Bridgeport, Full Sail, Deschutes, the McMenamins, because the price gets determined basically at the wholesale level.

I have to go in and sell for the same price that Widmer does to the distributor, so that it will come out and be the same price for the retailer, such as the Multnomah Club. And so you’ve got to sell your keg for $110, and then they sell it to the club for $160, or whatever the going price is, and that determines the price at the tap. And you really have to work backward. You don’t want to be the most expensive beer on the tap list, you want to be on par with everyone else. So it’s difficult for a small manufacturer to really go compete with those big boys. So that’s how I got into sour beer.

I was trying to find my little niche. Our magic elixir is what we called it. We were looking for our Widmer Hefeweizen, our Black Butte Porter, our MacTarnahan’s, our Full Sail Amber. We were looking for one beer to be our big driver.

Ron Gansberg, my brewer, and I asked ourselves, “How can we expand and not borrow a lot of money and use local resources?” Well, one thing we could do was get wood barrels.

We’re in wine country. We have access to lots of barrels that used to get cut up and turned into planters. Now brewers are buying them and reusing them. For $600 I could buy the same amount of fermentation (volume) that a $10,000 stainless steel tank would give me. Then we looked at what local resources we could work with. We have cherries in this area. We have sour pie cherries and Bing cherries, and those are the principal ingredients to make a sour beer called kriek, which is Flemish for cherry.

With sour beers, you have to infect them with bacteria. We selected lactobacillus bacteria, the same that’s like in yogurt, and we made our kriek beer. We served it to our friends around here, and they said, “Well, gosh, that’s infected, there’s something wrong

with your beer.” We wanted it to be infected, we did that on purpose! Then we went to the Great American Beer Festival (in Denver), not entering the contest. We just drove down there with our beer in the truck and had people sample it, and we got some verification. People said we were on to something, making these sour beers, which are lambic style, which are made in Belgium.

And this was 10, 11 years ago. We kind of got out in front of the curve on sour beers. Now sour beers are a lot more popular. There are kettle-soured beers, and we don’t do kettle souring, that’s the shortcut to it. Our beers are aged for a year and a half.

When I bought the building on 10th and Belmont and said I was going to put a sour beer house in there, some of my longest, dearest brewing friends took me aside, and said, “Hey Art, do you really think people are going to go over there and drink sour beers?

Are you sure you’re doing this right?” I said, “Well, I think so. I penciled out the numbers.” So far it’s exceeded my expectations.

We think that 70 percent of our business at the Barrel House is tourist business. You can go get Widmer wherever you live, and you can get Bridgeport and Full Sail, Deschutes, you can probably get these products where you are. Even though we’re selling in other states, we’re selling bottles and a lot of people don’t get to sample our beer. So people who come to Portland want to go to Hair of the Dog, the Commons, Burnside, Breakside, they want to go to the smaller breweries they don’t get to see.

We tap a barrel every Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Cascade Barrel House, and we’ve been doing it for six years. So that’s 300 specialty beers. We don’t know anyone in the world that’s tapped one a week for six years, a specialty sour that’s a one off. I don’t think Guinness has any classification for that, but maybe we ought to apply.

We decided not to get into the hops arms race. We’re the kind of company that if everybody is marching to the right, we’re going to be the one or two people marching to the left. We’ll go out and do our own thing. It gave us a chance to make our mark. It was, again, our magic elixir. That special brew that would set us aside from everyone else. WM OCTOBER 2016

CHANCE Taking a

When Scott Lawrence opened Breakside Brewing, his only restaurant experience was a six-month stint at Applebee’s. Now, he oversees one of Portland’s best breweries.

P

ortland is filled with the soggy dreams of tipsy 30-somethings who boldly proclaim their intention to open a brewpub. Scott Lawrence is a little different – he made good on his promise.

Quickly. It took about nine months from the night he decided to open a pub over beers at Alaskan Brewing to the day he opened Breakside Brewing in the Woodlawn neighborhood. Now, his brewery is winning awards and planning to expand for a second time, opening a three-story location on Northwest Raleigh Street.

I moved to Portland in February 2009, kind of on a whim. A friend of mine had mentioned moving to the West Coast, and I had always wanted to come to Oregon. It was one of four states I hadn’t been to yet. That day, I listed my house in Charleston, South Carolina, for rent, and by the next Tuesday, found a furnished apartment across from PGE Park in the Civic. At the time, I was selling software and could live anywhere. Shortly after I decided to stay, I was on a backcountry kayaking trip in Alaska, north of Juneau. We were out in the wilderness, dodging orcas and grizzlies, and afterward went to the Alaskan brewery and had such a great time that I said, “This is what I’m going to do. I’m going to quit my job and open a brewery. So I did.”

We’d been open here for three or four months. I met my now wife, Jennifer, in a parking garage of the building we were both living in in the Pearl. Our spots were one away from each other’s. We met one of the first days she moved in, and 10 days later, I knew I was getting married. She grew up at MAC. Her dad (Fred Robertson) has been a member for 53 years, and her mom (Carol Robertson), I think, has a spare bedroom there – she spends that much time there.

I don’t know if I could have jumped off and done this if I was married with kids. I sold everything I had to open. I emptied my 401(k), my IRA, my savings account, my checking account. I sold my car and rode my bike to work. There was a point where I tried to buy eggs and my credit card didn’t work, and that was right when Jen and I started dating. It was $5 and it was my debit card. I didn’t have $5 in my bank account.

We opened in May 2010. I was in Alaska in July 2009. I thought it would take three to four years, but I tend to be the type, for good or bad, who dives in head first without checking the depth, to make a silly analogy. I started hanging out at Bridgeport and Deschutes and asking questions, and luckily I had the kind of job where I had a lot of flexibility, so I could keep doing my job while I figured out how to get this open. When I got back from Alaska, I posted something on Facebook. I told every person I knew, just to make sure I would do it, and I signed the lease on this place in mid-September, a month after the Alaska trip. It had dirt

floors and no brewery in it, but I looked at a map of every brewery in Portland and circled the two big gaps where there wasn’t one in a neighborhood, and there wasn’t a brewery anywhere close to this neighborhood and there wasn’t one in Sellwood. So I rode my bike up here and explored and found the building.

I remember when I met my wife, I told her where I was working, and she didn’t really know where it was. She said, “Maybe my friends and I will stop by.” She mentioned it to her friends, and they said, “We’re not going up there, why would we go to Dekum?” It was definitely a neighborhood that hadn’t been discovered, but in the years since it’s seen a lot of transformation.

I worked in restaurants for six months in college at an Applebee’s in Charleston, South Carolina. That was the extent of my restaurant experience experience. I was our head bartender here when we opened. I went from wearing a suit and going to New York City every week for work to bartending here every Friday and Saturday night. I had no business plan at all. I spent a lot of time eating and drinking, and thought if I designed a place where I wanted to eat and drink, then other people would want to eat and drink there, too.

We’ve probably brewed around 350 beers, something like that, and the new Northwest location will make all new beers.

That’s fun for us. If you’re making the same few beers over and over again, that gets boring. To allow our guys to experiment is fun for our team and for the consumer. You want to come in and try new stuff, especially nowadays, people are always wanting to know what’s new.

We went to the most prestigious beer competition in the world – the World Beer Cup – and there were 1,907 breweries there, the best breweries in the world, and we won more medals than any one of them. We were the only brewery to win four medals. That’s stuff we get really excited about. And our IPA won gold at the Great American Beer Festival in the hardest beer category. We’ve had a good little run.

At this point, I’m pretty much set, as silly as that sounds. I’ve got everything I ever dreamed of right now, so everything on top of this is icing. I think to be able to take care of our team and do something fun, that’s the next step. I plan on giving half the company away to our employees, build something great so we can all share it. And never, ever, ever, sell to Budweiser or Miller Coors or somebody like that – those heartless, soulless companies.

Breakside Brewing is set to open a new pub at Northwest 22nd Avenue and Raleigh Street this fall. WM OCTOBER 2016

EXPERIENCE Drawing on

Bob Turner and Sarah Baldwin bring decades of experience to Indio Spirits.

native Oregonian, Bob Turner built a long-standing career in the spirits industry working with national brands like Seagram Distillers and then Hood River Distillers. He eventually launched, and later sold, his own successful company, Crown Century Distillers. Since 2005, he’s led Indio Spirits as president and partner. His daughter, Sarah Baldwin, joined Indio Spirits to spearhead national sales after a career in the wine industry. Their most recent project – a downtown Portland tasting room located at 1111 S.W. Alder Street – celebrates its grand opening on Oct. 6.

Bob, you joined the company a long-standing veteran of the industry as president and partner in 2005. Sarah, what drew you from a career in the wine world to craft spirits?

Sarah: For me, family was the pull. After many years in the wine industry, I joined Indio Spirits to partner up with my dad and concentrate on national sales. We have a lot of fun working together.

It can be stressful to build a business, and then you remember the industry you’re in. My dad reminds me how lucky we are to be in this business all the time. Everyone in Portland wants to support local – and we’re part of that. My dad was a pioneer, and to see how much the industry has grown is exciting. In 2003, there were 60 craft distillers in the U.S., today there are 760, according to the American Distillers Institute. There are also 200 distilleries under construction. It’s an exciting industry to be part of right now.

You have grown a range of products since launching in 2004, what are some of your favorites?

Bob: The James Oliver Whisky has a great history – it’s named after my grandfather, who has a little bit of history himself – he was a bootlegger. The James Oliver American has won numerous medals in tastings, and took the gold for Best American Whisky at the International Whisky Competition in 2015. It’s double barreled in used bourbon and sherry barrels. The James Oliver Rye is aged in new American oak barrels. Sarah: Our Starka, a barrel-aged vodka, also has a great story. Bob: According to traditions from Eastern Europe, when a child was born, the family would honor the birth by filling a barrel with house vodka. Then they would bury the barrel. When that same child married, the vodka would come out for a celebration.

In November 2012, Indio Spirits moved into a 10,000 square foot operation near Tigard. On Oct. 6, you are opening a new tasting room in downtown Portland. What are some of the draws for visitors to each facility?

Sarah: In Tigard, you can take a tour and actually see the barrels that are aging the whiskey. You can watch the blending process and the bottling line, that behind-the-scenes perspective is fun. Bob: The new tasting room is in a great location in downtown Portland.

It’s surrounded by restaurants and the Multnomah Whisky Library is a few blocks away.

What do you think is your most innovative product in the Indio Spirits portfolio?

Sarah: Our Hopka Hop Liqueur. When you walk around Portland it seems like there is a new brewery on every corner popping up.

Our blender, Mark White, thought it would be fun to make something that complements the breweries. And that’s what we did.

We use a combination of Citra and Cascade hops, both from the Northwest. Bob: You can mix it like a gin, sip it alongside a craft beer or pour it over ice.

You have a range of flavored vodkas (from blood orange and lemongrass lime to marionberry). What are some creative ways you’ve seen these used in drinks and/or cooking?

Bob: Outside of mixology, the Beaverton Bakery has used our flavored vodkas and the Snake River Stampede Whisky in custom cakes. The cakes are delicious and will absolutely knock your socks off. Sarah: Also, Moonstruck Chocolates used our marionberry vodka to create a marionberry truffle as part of their Oregon Distiller’s 9-Piece Truffle Collection.

Wine and food pairing is a given. What are your thoughts on pairing food and spirits/cocktails?

Sarah: It’s fabulous! Bob: We did a great whisky pairing dinner at Swank & Swine last year. If you sip whisky like a wine, you’ll bring out tastes in your food that you’ve never experienced before.

In the past two years, there’s been a boom of craft distillers nationally, where do you see the industry down the road?

Bob: I see this as a great growth area, and specifically for Oregon.

One of the things that Sarah has said before was people in Oregon, and even people moving into Oregon, are very loyal to local products. Sarah: Oregon is already renowned nationally for food.

Now it’s expanding to micro-distilleries. So many food and beverage trends start here, and then there’s the ripple effect that moves across the country.

MacGregor Hall’s Vercingetorix wines are crafted from grapes grown on his family’s farm.

N

By Kerry Newberry

ative Oregonian MacGregor Hall is the president of Deschutes Investment Consulting, and has spent the past 20-plus years managing corporate and individual retirement plans.

On the side, he’s carved out time to launch a wine label, using grapes from a 10-acre vineyard planted on his family farm just outside of Newberg. Under his boutique wine label, Vercingetorix, he produces small quantities of pinot noir, pinot gris and pinot blanc. He’s found wine tasting leads to inspired travel and beautiful places, and in the past decade has visited every tasting room in southern Oregon and the Willamette Valley.

You released your first wine – a pinot noir in 2003. What was your path into the wine business?

Just outside of Newberg, we have a 210-acre farm that’s been in the family since 1959. In the early years, my dad raised cattle, grew wheat, and planted filbert orchards. In the 1980s, he experimented with growing different varieties of apples. We planted a 10-acre vineyard in the former apple orchard using the trellis system that was already in place. The vineyard sits on the highest point of our farm, and has been conducive to producing cool-climate pinot noir and pinot gris. In 2005, we converted an old farm shed into our tasting room. The business has been a completely grassroots effort every step of the way.

Your wine label is Vercingetorix or VX for short. What’s the significance of the name?

My dad was traveling in France and saw the statue of Vercingetorix, a Gallic hero, who became chieftain under the threat of Roman invasion and united the clans against Caesar and the Roman legions. My dad studied the classics at Princeton and remembered the story of how Vercingetorix adopted a “scorched earth” policy against the Romans, but preserved the vineyards of Burgundy.

While visiting that statue in France, he decided our pinot noir wines should be named after Vercingetorix.

What do you enjoy most about the winemaking process?

The farm has been in our family for a long time, so what I like most is our connection to the land.

Tell me about your winemaking philosophy and how that’s reflected in your wines.

I like a wine that’s approachable – a wine made in the Burgundianstyle, and wines that complement food. For the past six years, we’ve worked with winemaker John Grochau, and before that, we had Laurent Montalieu making our wines. At VX, we focus on making small quantities of very high quality wine. Our annual production is around 300-500 cases of pinot noir, 200 cases of pinot gris, and 150 cases of pinot blanc. We have a small wine club and sell most of the wines out of our tasting room. Recently, we had our wines picked up

by Zupan’s, Market of Choice, and Fred Meyer.

The Willamette Valley is a renowned destination for pinot noir. What’s one of your go-to food pairings for pinot?

My fundamental interest in wine comes from tasting and enjoying wines with food. By far and away, I think the best pinot pairings are

the classics – grilled salmon, traditional smoked salmon or a great pork tenderloin.

In addition to Oregon bottles, what else is in your own wine collection?

I cellar my wine at Willamette Wine Storage, which is great because every Wednesday they host a tasting for members. If you look in my wine cellar, you are going to find the best in class out of Walla Walla – bottles from Cayuse, Abeja and Garrison Creek. Also, wines from Napa Valley, Sonoma, the Santa Rita Hills. I love everything about California wines. I have a collection of Willamette Valley pinot noirs in my wine cellar that include Domaine Serene, Archery Summit and Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, to name a few.

What’s your latest wine project (Auzriel Wine) about?

This is a collaboration with my daughter, Emily. My daughter is a singer-composer and Auzriel is her stage name. With this label we are aiming to reach the millennial generation. Right now we have two wines – a pinot noir made with grapes from Bolton Vineyard and Melody en Blanc, and a white blend made with pinot blanc, pinot gris and gewürztraminer.

What are some of your favorite places to travel for wine?

I’ve tasted in most of the wine regions across California, from the Sonoma Coast and Russian River to Santa Barbara. I’ve also spent a lot of time in Walla Walla. Over the past decade, I’ve visited every tasting room in southern Oregon throughout the Willamette Valley. (You can ask my wife more about that). The reason I go to all these tasting rooms is I get this visceral sort of connection between the land, the architecture and the vineyards. Whether it’s California, Washington or Oregon, these vineyards and wineries are in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Being in the wine business just ties it all together for me.

ACTIVITIES FlairWalk

Popina Swimwear

At FlairWalk, the prevailing philosophy is that fashion and health can go hand-inhand and should complement one another.

FlairWalk is excited to showcase local designer Wendy Ohlendorf in its special collections. Each piece is hand-selected to create a timeless, ageless collection of fashion that follows you. Enjoy special finds from this Pearl District boutique that specializes in women’s apparel and more for any age, occasion or lifestyle.

Located in the Pearl, Popina Swimwear is a retro swimwear boutique with a unique take on fun-in-the-sun style. Popina’s philosophy is that one doesn’t need to “show it all” to be sexy. The conservative, vintage 1950s-inspired woman’s swimsuit line is designed in Portland, made in America and provides designs that are fun, flattering and fashionable, drawing inspiration from vintage swimsuits of a bygone era.

Garnish

Featured Vendors Drawing from boutiques all over the metropolitan area, this year’s retailers represent a broad selection of wearable, special pieces.

Anthropologie Offering customers signature products and unmatched services, Anthropologie remains a favorite Pearl District destination for women wanting a curated mix of clothing, accessories, gifts and home décor that reflects their personal style and fuels their lives’ passions, from fashion to art to entertaining.

COLLIER Described as the “sartorial rascal,” COLLIER is an upscale men’s clothing store in downtown Portland known for its creative and unique mix of styles. Owner Brent Collier travels to Italy’s fashion hubs for a wide array of sophisticated Italian suits and other attire fresh off the runways.

In addition, COLLIER produces some of its own labels for the sharp-dressed man with complimentary custom fitting and alterations.

EcoVibe Located in a charming old house on Northwest 23rd, EcoVibe’s mission is to provide apparel that embodies style, quality, beauty and sustainability. EcoVibe believes in fashion with a conscience, using luxuriously soft fabrics that look as good as they feel by designers who strive to create a modern style and aesthetic while holding true to social and environmental responsibility. EcoVibe is soft, sustainable style that embodies a passion for color, great fit and excellent quality.

The owners at Garnish take “limited edition” seriously. Typically only seven to 11 garments in each style and color are created, and often the editions are much smaller for jewelry and accessory lines.

Garnish, located in the Pearl, features pieces designed and made in Portland, including local favorite Michelle Lesniak.

These modern pieces can become your entire wardrobe – from tops and skirts that are more than everyday, to dresses and coats that nudge fashion boundaries and are perfect for your next event.

Layneau Trousseau Ensconced in a refined and elegant boutique on Northwest 23rd, the Layneau Collection at Cocoon Silk presents the most beautiful silks and laces carefully crafted into timeless boudoir wear. Inspired by vintage originals, updated for this generation, Layneau creates boudoir wear that blurs the lines between private and public.

These unique pieces are undergarments meant to be seen and are designed to place the woman as subject – not object – in the story of her life.

MPorium The boutique at the heart of MAC, Mporium features rotating seasonal, specialty and classic athletic attire and accessories, distinctive fashion and casual clothing, in addition to MAC logo merchandise.

Sabina’s Style This Pearl boutique gem is a favorite among women all along the West Coast who expect more with their fashion.

Sabina’s does not sell online, preferring to personalize the shopping experience to help each woman get the most out of her wardrobe. The unique, current styles from London, New York and Italy are a feast for the eyes in her ever-changing collections. Sabina is committed to offering stylish options for women with any budget.

Sabrina personally selects the very best of what is offered in global fashion trends.

Xtabay Billed as the “most spectacular, deliciously curated vintage store in Portland,” Xtabay’s collection of vintage dresses and accessories makes it a destination for stylists, celebrities, designers and fashionistas around the world. At Xtabay, every gown is one of a kind, and each tells a story.

Whether it’s a bias-cut silk nightgown from Carole Lombard’s era, a shapely 1950s dress Marilyn Monroe could have worn, or a crisp suite from Jackie Kennedy’s 1960s, each piece is carefully selected to make a timeless addition to the modern woman’s wardrobe. WM OCTOBER 2016

VETERANS

Bound by Service, Veterans Still Meet at MAC Y

ou may have spotted them walking to the Men’s Bar for their weekly lunch, a longstanding tradition many in this illustrious group have shared for years. While they might be slower now, their spirits are strong and their stories engaging and inspirational – and at times quite humorous and lively. You may even overhear their good-natured ribbing and banter as they recount their Portland high school days together or their common bond of service in World War II. Either way, you have been treated to a moment with some of Multnomah Athletic Club’s own “band of brothers.”

Their numbers are dwindling, and it is with that in the back of my mind that I want to engage them, so the magic of their friendship and dedication to our country may be illustrated and preserved. In early June, I was honored to share lunch with eight of these longtime MAC veterans, gentlemen who willingly and graciously took me back 80 years as they shared their early lives in Portland, memories from World War II and decades at MAC. My lively lunch companions are a broad representation of the U.S. Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. Many of these esteemed veterans have known one another as far back as grade school. This is a unique group, and one we should honor and remember with gratitude.

Lincoln, Benson, Grant, Washington…their high schools fed many of them immediately into harsh, demanding military service in World War II, delaying college so they could protect the freedoms we often take for granted today. Some had college interrupted as they were shipped out for training and combat in regiments or battalions. They are proud of their service, camaraderie and time together. It is touching that their membership at MAC serves as an additional, cherished bond that spans decades.

Their bonds with one another were highlighted to me in ways I did not anticipate. Bud Lewis, often referred to as the “Mayor of MAC,” and his friend, Bill Stewart, served in the 41st Division in the National Guard and hauled ammunition (65,000 pounds of dynamite, give or take a few …) to supply ships throughout the South Pacific. Architect Saul Zaik, a longtime friend of Coast Guard radio officer Herb Black and fellow Oregon Duck, served

as a radioman in the Navy. Herb Goodman, a MAC member since 1965, served in the Navy as a dentist. Harry Glickman and Dick Savinar had their years at the University of Oregon disrupted to go to Fort Lewis in Washington to serve in the U.S. Army together.

Ironically, they were both presidents of Sigma Alpha Mu at UO, one behind the other. John Younie, a 70-year MAC member who served in the Marine Corps as a rifleman, is quick to vividly recount, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, his boyhood days with Black, as their mothers played bridge together in the 1930s.

Black laughingly describes fighting over the top bunk in Younie’s newfangled bunk bed. It is obvious these men have an unshakeable friendship that has lasted over 80 years.

They are quick to say they are the lucky ones. The ones who readily recall where they were on V-J Day in 1945. The ones who came home. They served proudly in all branches of the armed forces for our country, with selflessness and courage. No matter the branch, they are wed to one another in life experience, as witnesses to the atrocities of war only veterans can fully understand. It is an honor to spend time with these men.

MAC has generations of members who have fought for our country and the freedom of our flag. While we have our oldest, most esteemed World War II veteran members, the club also proudly claims veterans from all eras and service.

This year, MAC will honor all veteran MAC members with a Veterans’ Recognition Breakfast. We endeavor to get the word out to as many veterans as possible to join us at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9. Hosted for MAC veterans, this event also is open to family members and others wishing to honor our veteran members who served and those who gave their lives for our country. Cameron Smith, director of the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs, is the keynote speaker, along with assorted highlights and guests. The cost is free for veteran MAC members, $15 for non-veteran members and $18 for guests. Register now at themac.com or contact At Your Service at 503-517-7235.

ACTIVITIES BALLADEERS

BOOK GROUPS

Al Laney is a recent addition to the MAC Balladeers men’s singing group.

With his wife Laura Laney, Al retired to Oregon several years ago after a long career as an airline captain. Originally from Miami, the couple lived in a variety of big cities while he flew for Eastern Airlines and later the Trump Shuttle, but they are “truly happy” to be living in Portland now. He savored his work, flying several planes, including the Lockheed Constellation and Electra, Douglas DC-9, Boeing 727 and Lockheed L-1011.

A singer in the Balladeers’ bass section, Al previously sang with church choirs, including Portland’s First United Methodist church, located near MAC. Al rates his Balladeers experience as a “9.9 on a scale of 10.” Most of all, he enjoys the group’s un-pressured atmosphere, good humor and camaraderie. He looks forward to weekly rehearsals as “a fun social event, especially with friendly get-togethers before or after practice” in the Sports Pub. He praises the group’s director, Dr. Scott Tuomi, as bringing “wonderful teaching skills, an upbeat personality and a great musical repertoire.”

The Evening Literary Group discusses Mel Renfro: Forever a Cowboy in October. It’s the story of an Oregon legend that was waiting to be told.

MAC member Dr. Bob Gill, an Oregon sports historian, will discuss his own journey to write and publish this authorized sports biography.

He credits Tom Hallman’s writing class at MAC for his success. Gill details the challenges Renfro, a black athlete from Jefferson High School and the University of Oregon, faced during his 14-year professional career with the Dallas Cowboys, and discusses his human side and life after football.

Join the Evening Readers at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 25. Guests are always welcome.

What’s the Worth of a Precious Gem? Chicago-based jewelry designer John Buechner shares insights on the value of precious gemstones, rubies, emeralds and sapphires at a Culture and Style luncheon at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 20.

Buechner discusses the three major countries where rubies are mined and how price often is determined by a gemstone’s provenance. He also talks about how the value of colored gemstones is appreciating while diamonds are depreciating in value.

John Buechner Inc. is one of the most well-respected and established center stone companies in the industry. The majority of its business is finished pieces, as Buechner feels that mounting the stones in classic settings is the best way for customers to appreciate their beauty and rarity.

While members are keeping their noses to the musical grindstone, the songs continue to be honed and sharpened to performance-ready perfection. The reality is that the group still struggles with cadence, pitch, voicing, tonality, enunciation, breath control, timing, tempo, key changes, Continued on page 56

An old proverb says: “Fall seven times, stand eight.” Musically, every MelloMac occasionally falls “flat,” and every MelloMac offers a hand to help stand. The essence of the MelloMacs is more than just love for music and community service; those are benefits.

The essence is the depth of genuine affection between the group’s members: transgenerational, consisting of husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, parents and children.

Lifelong bonds of friendship grow from the challenges and the triumphs.

The MelloMacs meet Mondays at 7 p.m. in the third-floor Activities Classroom. All adult MAC members are welcome. Singing talents are deeply appreciated, but obviously not mandatory. Hope to see you there!

The

MAESTRO D

uring his first game with the Timbers in March 2013, Diego Valeri received a pass just inside the box, flicked the ball to himself and buried a shot inside the far post, all in one fluid motion. The shot earned him MLS Goal of the Week honors, and was a glimpse of what Portland fans have now come to expect from the midfielder they call, simply, The Maestro. Valeri joined Portland from Argentina’s Club Atlético Lanús, and has embraced his new home, helping to bring home the city’s first major sports championship in nearly 40 years with a stunning strike in the opening minutes of the 2015 MLS Championship match. Valeri joined MAC as a member coach earlier this year.

As a member coach, you’ve run a Family Fridays event and a summer soccer camp – do you like teaching kids about the game?

Of course. It’s my pleasure to do it and I enjoy it every time. I love kids and I love this game, so it’s very fun for me to teach them and to show them some tricks and to spend time with them.

You seem to really enjoy Portland. What drew you to the city?

We love Portland. We’re enjoying every single part of the city and everywhere around it. Most of all, we like the views, green space and the river. It’s a beautiful city.

You spent very little time in America before you signed with the Timbers. Was it a tough transition to move to Portland and join a new league?

It is always tough to adapt to a new culture and a new city with a child, but I was lucky. The people in the organization have helped me a lot, including my teammates. It was easy for us to adapt and we’re now having a great time.

You played in your first pro game at age 17. What was it like to play at a high level at such an early age? Did it help your game?

At that age, you don’t think a lot. It’s like you’re living a dream. You’re in a new system because you’re a young guy, and you sign a contract and you’re in a new world. You don’t think a lot; you just play. As a kid, you’re thinking that you’re in a movie. I wasn’t thinking a lot back then, but I enjoyed it. I was lucky to have a lot of good teammates to play with.

Tell us a little bit about your goal in the MLS Cup match.

It was the quickest goal in MLS Cup history.

It was just amazing. I don’t think anybody expected that.

It was great because it helped the team to win the game.

Obviously it’s special because it was too fast. I was thinking about the situation the night before with my wife and daughter, and we were watching videos of their keeper and seeing what he was going to do. It was great.

How did it feel winning the championship with the Timbers?

It was very special for me. I was able to win the first trophy in the history of my former club in Argentina [Club Atletico Lanus] and I know how it feels to win the first trophy in a club’s history. I knew it as soon as I arrived in Portland that if we could win the trophy that it would be very special. The moment the whistle blew, I was thankful about it.

You have played in a few different leagues and on a different continent. How is the style of play in MLS different?

Every league is different. Every style of play in every league is different. I think MLS is special. The teams like to play very aggressive and dynamic and they like to score a lot. It’s not too complicated in terms of tactics, but it is a very intense game and very similar to the Premier League. I would say it’s a very good style. It’s just different. It’s very different in Argentina.

It is a very defensive style and I like MLS better.

What’s this about a Timbers FC jam band? Will we ever hear anything more than the snippet on Twitter?

It’s just for fun. We enjoy it. WM

ATHLETICS

Welcome to Wellness Learn about Pilates, yoga and much more during the inaugural Wellness Summit at MAC, which features events and activities for all ages and abilities

O

ctober brings the Pilates annual Fall Showcase and Open Studio. If that isn’t reason enough to get excited, Wellness and yoga join together to display the abundance of classes and resources available for members and families all year long – converting the event to a Wellness Summit Thursday, Oct. 6, through Saturday, Oct. 8. Pilates, yoga and wellness go together like peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots, baseball and hotdogs ... You get the idea – we provide balance to your hectic lifestyle.

This year promises to be a fun and informative event that is inclusive for all members in the hopes of giving everyone a day and time to explore Pilates and yoga. There are loads of support and extra instructors on hand to assist in the regularly scheduled classes, along with several pre-beginner classes, yoga on the Reformer, Family Pilates and refreshments, to name just a few of the special offerings. Members also are entered to win a prize for participating in classes and events.

The schedule is sent to members in Pilates, yoga and Wellness interest groups (sign up online now), on the MAC Wellness Facebook page and at theMAC.com. Also look for schedules in the Pilates Studio.

Family Pilates/yoga When it comes to Family Fitness, MAC puts a great emphasis on building a foundation of wellness for a lifetime. Families have many ways to play together during the Wellness Summit, including a free Friday Focus yoga workshop for families from 6:45-8:15 p.m.

OCTOBER 2016

Oct. 7, in Studio Two, led by MAC yoga and Pilates instructor Jennifer Holzapfel-Hanson.

Holzapfel-Hanson also leads a weekly Saturday Pilates class for families from 2:15-3 p.m., beginning Oct. 8 in Studio Three. The class brings an element of play to building the foundational elements of yoga and Pilates. It is for children ages 10 and older and their parents.

Yoga on the Reformer We’re taking yoga to a whole new level with traditional yoga postures performed on the Reformer, which uniquely challenges the muscular system against spring-loaded resistance. The springs of the reformer enhance those deep yoga stretches, helping to open tight muscles. But it’s not just about the stretch, as the Reformer helps the student strengthen deep-core stabilizing muscles and larger global muscles. This class builds stability, stamina and help to restore balance back to the body. Not only does this take you to the next level in your practice, it gives you great tools to take back to your mat practice. This intermediate-level workout creates a spectacular mind-body connection through mindful movement and resistance training. MAC is now offering yoga on the Reformer from 5-6 p.m. on Tuesdays with yoga and Pilates instructor Rebecca Schefstrom. Try out this class during the Wellness Summit. Please note, students must have prior experience with both yoga and Pilates on the reformer to sign up for group training. Please contact Dena Rasmussen at 503-517-7550 to reserve your 15-minute demonstration.

ATHLETICS Rhythm Workshop for Seniors a Hit Special TaKeTiNa class geared toward seniors during Summit

T

he participant made it clear when she walked through the door, “I’m ready to have fun.”

Most of the 15 or so seniors had never done TaKeTiNa before, and there was some natural hesitation. But, “Contrary to our education system,” facilitator Mary Kogen assured them, “this isn’t about ‘getting it.’”

In July, MAC seniors joined together for TaKeTiNa, a group rhythm meditation. A drummer keeps a slow beat in the center, and a facilitator invites the participants to say syllables with the rhythm, then add steps, then claps. The movements and sounds are sometimes on beat, sometimes off beat, so it can feel a lot like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time.

This particular “journey” delved into the topic of age. What is aging? Are we wiser for it? Kogen and drummer Jacob Stein led the group to help them find balance, mental acuity, deeper physical awareness and a sense of self.

At the beginning of the session the participants weren’t sure where it was going. One man said, “It’s kind of like your first swim lesson – you spend a lot of time at the edge of the pool.” But the nervousness wore off quickly as Kogen joked around, incorporating play and encouraging curiosity, which she thinks is our greatest tool.

At the end, after the singing portion accompanied by a Brazilian musical instrument called a berimbau, the group took some time to reflect. One woman joked, “One nice thing about aging is I don’t care how I look doing this.”

Check out Kogen and TaKeTiNa at the MAC Wellness Summit from 1:30-2:30 p.m.

SQUASH

Busy Summer Transitions Into Fall The MAC squash courts have been non-stop busy all summer – and it’s continuing this fall.

T

he Summer Doubles League was such a success it increased to two nights a week, with some 44 players signing up. All but 10 were from MAC. Mixed doubles also was popular all summer.

Thanks to Tom Taylor and Richard Appleyard for organizing. For information on the fall doubles league, contact Mark Bogdanoff at mark@thebogs.com.

Juniors came out all summer too, with attendance at beginner camps 30 percent higher than last summer and high performance camps attracting players from as far as Singapore. The Rose Bud Gold, held in August, drew 170 kids from across the country. MAC had two finalists: Gordon Lam (first) and Alec Spiro (second) in BU15. Thanks to pros Ashley Read and Julian Illingworth for running the tournament and to everyone in the squash community who volunteered all weekend. Read is hosting a Level 1 coaching certificate course in October. See details on the U.S. Squash or contact Read at ARead@themac.com.

ATHLETICS KARATE

MAC Junior Competes at Karate Nationals Charlie Kingsley traveled to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to compete in the inaugural National meet

M

AC Karate is tremendously proud of Charlie Kingsley, who participated in first National Karate Championships, was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Charlie competed in the 10-yearold novice division in both kata (forms) and kumite (sparring). This division is for participants who have trained for one to two years.

Charlie has been training hard all year, attending classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, as well as competing at several local tournaments in the Seattle and Portland area throughout the spring and early summer.

Though you can see some sadness that Charlie did not medal, he was very gracious in defeat.

Isn’t that what competition is all about?”

-Sensei Bill Plapinger

Sensei Bill Plapinger and Charlie Kingsley at the first National Karate Championship in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Charlie reported that training and preparing for the tournament was really hard, but that he felt like he was ready for this competition. “I was really nervous before competing, but I ran over all the pointers Sensei Bill gave me and tried really hard to do as instructed, to stay calm and focus on myself. This is especially important in the kata competition because you compete simultaneously against the other competitor so it was important to focus on what I need to do to win,” he said.

When asked what he liked best about the experience, Charlie said, “Just being there, seeing all the rings and number of competitors. It was awesome!”

Charlie’s parents know that karate has helped with strength, conditioning, focus and confidence. Sensei Bill Plapinger was very proud of Charlie.

“Success at a tournament is not always measured in the medal count but knowing that you competed at your best. Charlie represented Multnomah Athletic Club as well as any competitor.

Though you can see some sadness that he did not medal, he was very gracious in defeat,” he said. After all, “isn’t that what competition is all about?”

Charlie is already looking ahead to next year. “I recognize where and how I can improve to be more competitive in next year’s National Championship. Salt Lake City, Utah, here I come!” WM

SYNCHRO

Synchro Competes at Junior Olympics Synchro swimmer Andrea Percic also competed with Team USA in Israel, while the masters team swam in inaugural USA Masters Games

M

AC Synchro made a big splash at the 2016 Junior Olympics in Long Island, New York, competing in multiple age groups.

The competition started off with a great performance by MAC’s 11-12 age-group team, earning them an 11th place finish, and making it two years in a row that the group has made it into the finals at this competition. The team included Sophia El-Ebrashi, Presley Girard, Grace Huffman, Cambell McMillan, Emma Miller, Isabel Penna, Sophia Rath, Ella Rau and Ellisa Rooker. The 11-12 duets of Huffman and Miller, and Penna and Rooker, placed 20th and 39th respectively.

In the 13-15 age group, the MAC team of Aliyah Blank, Rory Davis, Carly Isselmann, Jamie Kojiro, Katie Reveno, Zoe Tomlinson, Nadia Vondeling and Elina Yang swam the best routine of the season to finish 18th in a very competitive field. The duet of Katie Reveno and Jamie Kojiro finished in 17th place.

The 18-19 team led by two senior athletes, Ayeza Bajwa and Caroline Dotter, finished the meet strongly with a 16th place finish in the team event. Swimming with Bajwa and Dotter were Phoebe Frank, Saffron Du, Hannah Noyes and Kenna Mather. Dotter earned the highest placement of the meet for MAC with a ninth place finish in the 18-19 solo division.

Percic swims with Team USA While MAC Synchro was competing in Long Island, MAC’s own Andrea Percic represented Team USA at the Comen Cup in Tel Aviv, Israel. With her help, the team finished a very strong fourth place in the 13-15 age group. Percic also swam in the prestigious duet event, earning a sixth place finish for the USA. Practices resume in the fall for the 2016-17 season.

OCTOBER 2016

Synchro Masters competition Two synchronized swimming masters attended the inaugural USA Masters Games in Greensboro, North Carolina, in July.

The USA Masters Games is a major multisport event featuring competition for athletes ages 21 and over. There were more than 2,000 athletes from 11 countries and 47 states representing 24 sports.

Erin King and Lucie Svrcinova competed in the 40-49 duet event, winning gold with a final score of 149.70.

The games are intended to be a celebration of adult sports.

Toward that end, the games included entertainment and a number of special events designed to ensure that social activities are just as much a part of the games schedule as sports competitions. This included opening and closing ceremonies, a health and fitness expo, beer garden, athlete socials and live bands.

King and Svrcinova were able to watch and support other sports including diving, table tennis, ice hockey, basketball and track and field. Earlier in the week, before the synchronized swimming started, other sports included swimming, ice skating, baseball, functional fitness, golf, pickleball, soccer, tennis and others.

The athlete social was a good chance to meet other swimmers and have a fun night of dancing after competition. The closing ceremonies were a perfect way to end the event at an open-air amphitheater with more music and dancing. The competition was exciting as always, but it was the social activities that really made the event.

The 2018 USA Masters Games will be held in San Diego, California, during the summer of 2018. MAC synchro encourages masters athletes from all sports at MAC to consider attending the next USA Masters Games. It is a blast!

The MAC Synchro Masters are attending the U.S. Masters Championships with three team routines and several small routines in Arizona in late October. Best wishes to all the competitors at this upcoming competition. WM

EARLY BIRDS

Halloween Spook Walk and Run The Early Birds Committee holds its traditional Halloween Spook Run/Walk in the dark hours before dawn on Friday, Oct. 28.

Walkers and runners leave the Turnaround between 5:15 and 5:30 a.m. for historic Lone Fir Cemetery at Southeast Morrison and 20th Avenue. The oldest cemetery in the Portland area, Lone Fir houses the graves of many important citizens. Early Bird savants will serve delicious Halloween treats from 5:456:45 a.m. Carry a light if you fear the dark.

Opt to wear your most frightening costume to impress or scare the other ghosts and goblins. Share stories about family immigrants to Oregon. The distance to the cemetery is about 3 miles each way. Walkers also can hitch a ride back with TriMet bus No. 15.

From a simple electrical panel trade-out to a complicated whole house wiring project

Join MAC personal trainers Josh Bjornstad and Nicholas Trubachik as they team up to offer an indoor cycling and yoga workout geared towards runners and cyclists at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning Oct. 18. In each class, Bjornstad leads a 30 minute cycling session including sprint series, intense hill climbs, and a range of workloads to maximize your conditioning.

Then, join Trubachik for 30 minutes of Vinyasa yoga: standing poses, hip openers, core work and deep stretching all guided by the breath. This is a great five-week course created for those new to indoor cycling and yoga, but also fits well for those needing an additional challenge as they transition from outdoor cycling season to winter training.

Join us this fall and take advantage of the best of both practices. The workshop is five weeks long and runs from noon - 1:15 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost is $300.

MAC handball coaches, from left, Aaron Garner, Matt Steele and JD McLandrich.

Continued from page 71

HANDBALL

Find a Coach That’s A Fit for Your Game MAC Handball coaches are looking for members who are ready to step outside their comfort zone and try the perfect game.

Handball is a fun, challenging sport played both as a competitively and recreationally at MAC. Handball is great year-round and as an offseason cross training sport for football, basketball and baseball, among other sports.

Be prepared to have improved quickness, hand-eye coordination and endurance.

If you’re ready for something different with the perfect amount of fun, call or email one of the handball coaches. It’s a game with minimal

equipment needs: eye guards, gloves, a ball … all of which are available as loaners for starters.

Normal gym clothing is standard – t-shirt, gym shorts, court shoes.

When you give it a try, be sure to hit the ball with a relaxed, slightly cupped hand. Male beginners are advised to start with the lighter “White 21” ball before switching to the heavier “Red 21” ball. Other suggestions: warm up your hands with hot water for a minute or two and then clap your hands as you start warming up in the court. Of course, do the necessary stretches you’d expect for vigorous exercise – shoulders, quads, hamstrings.

MAC players are a friendly, welcoming group of enthusiasts. You can usually find a game to watch several days each week, especially Mondays and Wednesdays, from 3-6 p.m. or so, and on Sunday mornings. Coaches are available at various times. Give one a call or email him to set up a time to be introduced to a game you can enjoy for the rest of your life. MAC handball’s standout coaches are: • Aaron Garner – aarongarner87@gmail. com, 210.827.2188 • JD McLandrich - 503.791.8034 - jdmclandrich@gamil.com • Matt Steele - 503.750.6056 - steelem@ hsd.k12.or.us

Club Season Tryouts

Nationals, Beginner Classes, Adult Open Play Congratulations to the 12 Black team, which competed in the national tournament in Indianapolis over the summer. There are two divisions at nationals. The team played in the higher division, based on its No. 1 bid out of the region. The team finished 39th out of 47 teams and had several games that went to three sets that just didn’t go the team’s way.

Team members had a great time and were able to compete against some amazing opponents on a national level.

Tryouts for the 2016-17 club volleyball season are held Sunday, Nov. 6, for the 12U and 14U age groups, and Sunday, Nov. 13, for the 16U and 18U age groups. Times are TBD, so check the website or sign up to get information on volleyball news at www. themac.com.

History at MAC

A MAC climbing expedition, circa 1905. Note the alpenstocks and goggles of the men and women of this climbing party.

Club’s Past Tied to Climbing Early members made historic ascents of Northwest peaks – and some of them did it in a dress.

T

he involvement of MAC’s members and leaders with mountaineering predates the formation of the club itself. In September 1890, A. B. McAlpin, who soon after became the club’s first president, was part of a small climbing party, with guide W. A. Langille, that pioneered a north-side ascent of Mount Hood from Cooper Spur over the Newton Clark Glacier. McAlpin’s photography of the mountain near Cloud Cap Inn, built in 1889, led to increased interest in alpine recreation in the area, as more and more guests made their way to the inn.

In 1915, member Charles E. Warner claimed that his successful summit of Mount Hood with renowned guide Elijah Coleman was the first winter ascent of the peak. In an article he wrote for The Winged M, Warner reflected on the experience: “The big thing is that we had the opportunity to make Mt. Hood the great center of winter sports for the North American continent. In five years people will be climbing Mt. Hood during eight months of the year.” In 1926, the State Highway Commission began plowing and maintaining the loop road to Government Camp, built several years earlier. The Mount Hood area became much more accessible to Willamette Valley residents for climbing and other winter recreation.

The club began to organize large, guide-led climbing parties by 1905, if not earlier. While MAC members joined in with Mazamas parties on some climbs, on other occasions the organizations coordinated separate, simultaneous ascents of mountain peaks. In the summer of 1915, a large MAC party ascended Mount St. Helens via the north climbing route later wiped out by the 1980 eruption.

The peak’s summit was 1,300 feet higher than it is today. Using specialized mirrors, MAC climbers flashed heliographic signals to the Mazamas on Mount Hood, and “exploded great quantities of fireworks” from the summit. Women climbers were well-represented among both the early MAC and Mazamas groups; their successes in summiting were all the more impressive in light of the fact that many of them climbed in long and cumbersome dresses.

Climbing gear in the early decades of the 20th century was quite different from the specialized equipment available today. An invitation to members to climb Mount St. Helens in the summer of 1919 recommended “strong shoes, fitted with hob nails or calks, and well broken in; gauntlet gloves, smoked or colored glasses or goggles, a small stick of actor’s grease paint for the face, alpenstock [iron-tipped wooden pole], a change of hosiery, sweater or other wrap to be worn on the summit, and a small ruck sack to carry wrap and luncheon.”

Improvements in mountain roads, the growing popularity of automobiles, and the creation of ski areas and mountain lodges further facilitated access to the high Cascades. After World War II, sunscreen replaced actor’s grease. Crampons, ice axes and light climbing poles replaced hobnailed boots and alpenstocks.

In the latter half of the 20th century, MAC continued to host recreational climbs and hikes and also offered unique instructional sessions, such as a 1973 ice climbing seminar on Mount Hood. The creation of the Outdoor Program in 1998 and the installation of the indoor climbing wall in 2003 reflect the club’s commitment to support members in mountain climbs and other wilderness activities, and to provide a new level of access to building climbing skills.
