Innovation is crafted in the fall, nurtured in the winter, blossoms in the spring, and flourishes in the summer. –D. Morris all is the most complex of seasons – it caps the majestic beauty of spring’s spark of growth and Scott Sakamoto the summer’s steady secretary climb. Fall prepares our body, mind and spirit for the upcoming winter and provides the seeds for our future. Fall isn’t just three months of the calendar; fall is an integral process in all life cycles. I have always enjoyed the fall season. I learned to harvest matsutake mushrooms (a traditional delicacy) from Japanese community elders. Lessons weren’t just about harvesting. They were about planning and saving. Lessons included an understanding of my environment and how to respect, navigate and survive the forests safely. Lessons included the value of reflection while sipping tea or practicing breathing; the forest became my cathedral. Peace is found within ourselves and with others. I learned that nature is constantly struggling to remain in balance as forces internal and external to the forest inflict constant change. Our club is much like a forest. To be healthy, we must nurture each of our seasons. We must recognize the value of our harvest and reinvest for our future. However, a forest is an integrated network of species. Each aspect is interconnected, requiring the interplay of seemingly separate and unique creatures. A healthy forest is not a single stand of trees. A healthy forest requires diversity. Diversity in species is almost simple to recognize. Deciduous trees that shed their leaves and concurrently provide nutrients for the forest differ from evergreens that retain their foliage and provide shelter, even during winter’s worst storms. Physical diversity provides value to the forest, just like physical diversity provides value in our membership. We are a stronger membership when we represent all members of our region’s citizenry. We need diversity to not only survive, but to thrive. Yet, a forest isn’t simply divergent species. A forest incorporates divergent uses as well. Some animals are grazers. Others live off of hunting these grazers. Like the moral of The Lion King, the cycle of life in the forest is beautiful, even if it is frequently harsh. A healthy forest requires not only physical diversity, but spiritual diversity as well. Our membership needs to continue to support our spiritual diversity. We all must recognize the value of

F

singular voices. We are a stronger club when we balance the voices and ideas of our membership and recognize the value of diverse opinions and values. By connecting our membership voices we become a choir. A healthy forest requires more than a single species. While absorbing the forests during those fall treks and mushroom foraging, I also observed the importance of healthy roots and how these roots help nurture strong, evolving trees. For a forest to survive storms, roots must be strong, and the trunks of the trees must be flexible. Only with coordinated efforts and good relationships does the forest survive. Strong roots with an inflexible trunk leads to a snapped tree. A flexible trunk with weak roots leads to an uprooted tree. Our membership is much like a forest of trees, with its roots in our excellent history of athletics, social and civic successes and our need for a flexible outlook, akin to the trunk, that serves our future flexibility. For as much as a forest requires both roots and flexible trunks, our club requires that our rich history be connected to our vibrant future. A healthy forest requires strength from its roots and flexibility from its trunk. Although fall is reminiscent of the harvest, I recognize that we cannot actually harvest each day. Yet, we can be harvesting each day. There is a difference between a harvest and harvesting. Harvest in this context is more passive and season specific. There is the pumpkin harvest. There is the strawberry harvest. When the crop is finished, the harvest is over. Harvesting is an active event. Harvesting the value of our membership is done by being active and engaged. Harvesting the value of diverse opinion is achieved by remaining open to the viewpoints of others. Harvesting the strength of our club is attained by supporting its mission and values. Harvesting is a skill mastered during the fall, and when properly used, it provides superior returns on our invested intellectual, physical and social capital throughout each of the other seasons. A healthy forest supports active harvesting across the seasons. Fall has arrived. Children have returned to school and the club is working on new adventures. We shared a wonderful and abundant summer and our harvest is preparing us for our active winter and eventual spring. Management, staff and your invested volunteers are busy preparing for next year’s plans, setting savings aside, and seeking new ways to enhance the value of our club. Like our forests, our club is stronger with diversity of ideas and membership. Like our forests, we remain strong with our solid roots and our flexibility to adapt to our ever-changing environment. Like our forests, fall is the time to reflect, to harvest, to save and prepare for our inevitably thrilling futures. WM October 2015

ne of our employees got caught in a really – let’s call it sticky – situation last month. Caz, our maintenance crew leader, took one for the team when he got drenched in sewage due to a major clog in one of Elsa Lemoine Facilities director the drains at the club. The incident started when a member reported sewage flooding the Mezzanine level. Maintenance and housekeeping staff were quick on the scene. Adults are now using the same wipes once reserved for babies, leading to sewer problems. Unlike toilet paper, wipes do not break down easily after they are flushed. There is an effort underway to have wipes labeled as “do not flush,” but this type of action may take a long time. In the meantime, MAC needs to enforce self-regulation and stop the flushing of wipes. Bottom line: Do not use the toilet as a waste basket.

Facilities feeling pinch MAC’s water pipes are crying for help. They are in pain every time we shower, flush and drain pasta. This tragic water pipe trauma also is known as an aging plumbing infrastructure. The average age of a broken water main in the United State is 47 years. It should come as no surprise that water pipes in the oldest part of our facility, built in 1964, are at the end of their useful life. One Sunday afternoon, a simple drain-pipe fix turned into a much larger ordeal. We had to install a long stretch of new PVC pipe far from the original break, as the pipe was crumbling. Facilities has heard the cry for help and is taking note of our darling pipes. We are upping the ante and are requesting more pipereplacement funds than in previous years to take every opportunity during scheduled projects to replace pipes as needed.

Flush with savings To keep our culinary staff comfortable during the hot summer months, the kitchen air is cooled by a compressor, located in the boiler room, and the excess heat generated by the compressor was removed by pre-heating the domestic hot water. To do this, city water ran through the compressor and then into a 500-gallon water tank. If the domestic hot water didn’t need the heat, the hot water

would dump down the drain. This system was built when the domestic hot water demand was high because of the on-site laundry facility. It was only until after the laundry was moved off-site, in 1992, that the hot water would dump down the drain because there was nowhere else for it to go.

We cannot prevent all leaks, but we can certainly divert floods. In July 2014, during the 50-meter Pool remodel, when the old air handler was removed from the boiler room, Facilities staff could observe the hot water being dumped. The amount was alarming, so staff hired a third-party tester to track the volume of water. The amount of water waste convinced us to use sustainability funds to subsidize a project to allow for the kitchen to be cooled with the building’s central chiller plant instead. Fast forward to the summer of 2015. Combined with other water-saving measures, the club’s total water usage is down 32 percent through July, or $57,000 compared to the average over the past three years. The cost of the project was paid back in less than a year. Stay tuned for more solutions to energy dysfunction from MAC’s energy team, Cole Lathrop, Woody Benecke and Nick Miyasato.

Stem the flow before the flood Dutch legend has it that there once was a small boy who upon passing a dike on his way to school noticed a slight leak as the sea trickled in through a small hole. Knowing that he would be in trouble if he were to be late for school, the boy poked his finger into the hole and stemmed the flow of water. Sometime later a passer-by saw him and went to get help. This came in the form of other men who were able to repair the dike and seal the leak. This story is told to children to teach them that if they act quickly and in time, even they, with their limited strength and resources, can avert disasters. The physical lesson also is taught: a small trickle of water soon becomes a stream, and the stream a torrent, and the torrent a flood. Facilities is now more than ever before focused on increasing planned (and preventive) maintenance. We cannot prevent all leaks, but we can certainly divert floods. Take a look at the story on page 27 to learn a little more about how MAC is planning for major facilities projects. WM October 2015

Club Scoreboard

I

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

’m not much of an astrologist, but it seems appropriate to talk about balance during the zodiac sign of Libra, represented by the scales. A lot of what we do at MAC is built around balance. We have great workout facilities, Ed Stoner with great dining and Athletic Director social spaces, programming for kids, as well as adults and seniors – including a true balance class. And we continue to work on the annual budget, balancing the books, trying to provide as many options and programs as possible, while keeping dues in check. Over the past year, I have heard quite a few comments about how few activities there are for tweens and teens, while also hearing comments implying that seniors no longer matter. The irony, from my perspective, is that we have quite a few offerings for both groups, just maybe not the exact program, style or level at the desired day or time. For instance, we have 750 kids participating in various competitive teams at MAC, most of whom are tweens and teens. Similarly, there is a pamphlet that notes the many offerings for our senior or aging athletes, which features more than a dozen types of activities available to and mostly attended by seniors. A recent review of our lecture series showed that 65 percent of the attendees are over 65. Perhaps it’s a matter of better communication. We often wrestle with the best way to reach the membership. Is it through email and social media, The Winged M, a poster, or old-fashioned word of mouth? For the record, we continue to try them all; yet, it is simply a balance between available resources and time. And, in case you hadn’t heard, there is a senior forum on Oct. 6. Read more on page 51. Sometimes, even though we have the desire, instructors and interest, we don’t have the space or funds for everything. That said, we still try. We recently added Pickleball, which is now played in the Main Gym from 12:30-3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, because that is when gym space is available. Running MAC’s many programs is a complex and fun challenge. One that may not always make sense or provide exactly for what you are looking, but staff and the committees continue to try and balance it all in a way that keeps MAC the special place it is. I hope to see you around the club this month balancing out your participation in the bountiful offerings at MAC. WM

Culinary (we’re back) After taking the summer off for kitchen repairs, MAC’s premier restaurant reopens with new bites, old favorites and a few surprises.

Culinary Order sheets are also available for purchasing cases.

Wine Dinners

Leading MAC’s culinary team are Sous Chef Dax Erickson, Executive Chef Philippe Boulot, Sous Chef Deanna Bascom, and Executive Sous Chef Phil Oswalt

A

fter four long months, the Men’s Bar is open for business. The restaurant closed since May for renovations and repairs to the Main Kitchen, but Executive Chef Philippe Boulot and his culinary team have reopened just in Matt Carter time for the holidays. Men’s Bar Manager The kitchen crew is trying a few new things to go along with the Men’s Bar standbys. Executive Sous Chef Phillip Oswalt putting the kitchen’s new pizza oven to use. Look for a few regular pizzas on the Men’s Bar menu, along with seasonal pies. In addition, the Men’s Bar has added a bartender. Ashlelee Wells joins bartender Roni Pervizi behind the bar this fall.

Wine program blossoms It is harvest time in Oregon wine country, but here at MAC, the wine program is just starting to blossom. With the Men’s Bar

Executive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt and I are taking on the wine dinners as well. Every other month, beginning in November, we host a winery and their winemaker to delight us with their delicious products, with Phil creating the perfect meals to pair with them. They are four-course dinners served with five wines, held in the coziness of the east room of the Men’s Bar. These dinners are meant to be fun and educational, so bring your questions and your senses as we enjoy the pleasure of great wine, incredible food and delightful people.

Wine Club closed all summer and the wine program on hold, we had the opportunity to think about how we could improve on what we were doing. So, here are the exciting changes coming with the reopening of the Men’s Bar and the revitalization of the wine program.

50/50 Wine Night For starters, we are replacing free corkage night on the third Saturday of the month with 50/50 Wine Night, which offers 50 percent off all bottles $50 and under. This gives everyone a great opportunity to try new and exciting wines. It’s a great chance to give something a swirl that you might not have purchased before.

Wine Wednesday Wine Wednesdays are no longer offered on the second Wednesday of the month, and are moving from the Reading Lounge. Wine Wednesdays moves to MACtinis, and is scheduled in advance with dates to be announced in The Winged M and via emails. Wine Wednesdays no longer includes food, but offers free wine tasting, and the featured wine is available in the Men’s Bar for dinner.

Finally, the big news that people have been whispering about – the MAC Wine Club! That’s right folks, we are starting a wine club exclusively for members. With membership, you receive 10 percent off of bottle purchases at the club, free admission to Winestock, a free glass of the featured wine with dinner on Wine Wednesdays, and VIP treatment and exclusive early reservations to all wine dinners and events. You’ll be able to buy wine for less than retail prices and pick it up right here at the club. You’ll have your own personal sommelier at your disposal to help you with all of your wine needs. Plus, there will be a variety of wineries from the Willamette Valley, to Napa, to Washington where you will be able to show your card to get great deals and special perks. All of this is available for only $25 per month, billed directly to your account. I almost forgot, there is a monthly drawing, and Wine Club members are automatically entered to win wine, swag, and even some overnight stays. So have dinner in the Men’s Bar with your favorite server and ask them how to sign up. Cheers! Matt Carter, Sommelier Men’s Bar Manager WM

Saturday Events Appeal to a Variety of Tastes Saturdays in Men’s Bar and MACtinis return in October. New this month is 50/50 Wine Night on the fourth Saturday of each month. This event replaces No-Corkage Night (see above). Saturdays include Brown Bottle Society on the first Saturday of each month, a Prime Rib Buffet on the second, Supper Club on the third; 50/50 Wine Night on the fourth, and an additional Prime Rib Buffet if there is a fifth Saturday. All of the Saturday events are from 5-9 p.m. For reservations or questions about the Men’s Bar, call 503-517-6630. Brown Bottle Society | Saturday, Oct. 3 | Each month the Men’s Bar staff adds a new bottle of whiskey to the Brown Bottle list. This bottle becomes the featured whiskey of the month. There is also a featured cocktail. Those who purchase the cocktail receive a free tasting of the featured whiskey! Ask your server about enrolling for Elite Membership; try 75 different whiskeys and receive discounts

on whiskey throughout the year. This is Available to all diners age 21 and older. Reservations are not required but are always suggested. Prime Rib Buffet | Saturday, Oct. 10 | Enjoy a delicious prime rib dinner for $34 every second Saturday of the month, and the fifth Saturday when applicable. Paella, Cocktails and Sangria Spanish Night Supper Club | Saturday, Oct. 17 | Every third Saturday, enjoy the finest select offerings prepared by Executive Sous Chef Phil Oswalt. Meals include fresh, local, and seasonal fare. Reservations are strongly suggested. For reservations or questions call 503-517-6630. 50/50 Wine Night | Saturday, Oct. 24 | Men’s Bar Sommelier Matt Carter has developed this exciting new program along with the Men’s Bar staff.

Sun Deck Dining Returns Next Year The culinary team is excited to get back to work in the renovated kitchen, but the reopening of the Men’s Bar and The Ballroom also meant the seasonal closure of Sunset Bistro and Splash. While we’ve cleared off the Sun Deck in anticipation of fall’s cooler and wetter weather, rest assured, Sun Deck dining will return next year. We are still ironing out details and dates, but with a year of experience under our belts, we have a few idea for improving the space and atmosphere of the city’s best outdoor dining space next year. Look for more details next spring, and don’t forget, our talented bartenders and staff are still churning out great food and drinks in the Men’s Bar year round.

How he got involved: My weight room buddies drafted me to Singles Committee. Later, the Member Services manager drafted me to Juniors as an adult adviser. They were looking for someone old enough to be an advisor but young enough to relate to the kids. I was 25 or so at the time. After that, I applied for committees through interests and wanting to enhance activities.

Advice for getting involved: Go to lots of different activities, both athletic and social. You can meet people in group exercise, spin classes, walking/ hiking events and the weight room.

In Memoriam Wayne S. Mutchler July 13, 1950-Aug. 8, 2015 Senior member Wayne S. Mutchler died Aug. 8. He was 65. Wayne was born July 13, 1950, to George and Helen Mutchler in Englewood, N.J. He married Marisa Oliver on April 9, 1981, in Portland. They have three daughters. Wayne was the owner of Mutchler Construction for nearly 40 years. He was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Marisa Oliver Mutchler of Portland; daughters, Kara (Nick) Danner of Portland, Alexis Mutchler and Justine Mutchler of Portland; grandson, Cooper Danner; brothers, Glenn Mutchler of Franklin, Tenn., Dwight Mutchler of Cayey, Puerto Rico and Robert Mutchler of Sisters; and sister, Sheryl Kelly of Eugene. Wayne’s uniqueness was borne out in his New Jersey and Oregon family, his long exploration of Eastern philosophy, astronomy, health, natural healing, diet, exercise, mindfulness and the outdoors. He was an artist as a builder, consummate athlete, pole vaulter, zen skier, windsurfer and mountain lover. He was disciplined, well read and informed about everything to the “nth” degree.

teased him. The nicest, easy-going, good guy, friend, husband, father and brother. He rocketed himself “to the other side” (as he would say), during his last Superman workout at the Multnomah Athletic Club. Wayne often would say: “Every front has a back. The bigger the front, the bigger the back. Everything changes. The universe is always expanding. Entropy, it’s all entropy. ...”

Mildred Pratt June 2, 1927-Aug. 28, 2015 Mildred Pratt died peacefully Aug. 28, 2015, at her home. She was 88. She was born June 2, 1927, in Madison County, Ga., to Hubert Curtis Martin and Jesse (Haggard) Martin. Millie was a graduate of Athens (Ga.) High School and the University of Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. She worked at the health department in Athens, and later worked for her husband’s businesses for several years. She also was a private secretary for 16 years to Loretta (Mrs. Ira) Keller. She sang in the church choir as a Baptist in Athens, and served as a deacon in the Presbyterian Church in Portland. She lived in Georgia, Washington, Hawaii and Oregon. Millie traveled to all 50 states, as well as Europe, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. She loved

the trees, mountains and coast of Oregon, but she faithfully rooted for her Georgia Bulldogs throughout her life. She enjoyed playing bridge, hosting dinner parties, and was a member of the Broadmoor Women’s Club. Her greatest strength in life and peace in death was her Christian faith. She was preceded in death by her parents; and brothers, Donald Martin, R.C. “Sam” Martin and Otis “Eddie” Martin. She is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Dr. Shannon P. Pratt; children, Mike Pratt (Barb Brooks) of Portland, Susie Wilder (Tim) of Springfield, Va., Georgia Senor (Tom) of Fayetteville, Ark., and Steve Pratt of Jinan, China; and grandchildren, Elisa, Katie, Randall, Graham, John, Calvin, Addy, Kenny, Meg and Zeph; and Jenny Pratt. The family is indebted to a fabulous crew of caregivers, as well as neighbors, who have lovingly tended to Millie in her home for the past several years. Memorials may be made to her church of 48 years, Valley Community Presbyterian Church, 8060 S.W. Brentwood St., Portland, OR 97225 or Habitat for Humanity.

Norbert Joseph Wellman 1932-Aug. 8, 2015 Senior Family member Norbert Joseph Wellman died Aug. 8, 2015, at home in


ADMINISTRATIVE Portland, from complications of a stroke that occurred in 2013. He was 82. Norb was born in 1932, in Silverton, to Otto and Leona Wellman, and spent the next 18 years making his mark in Mount Angel as the fourth of six children. Norb grew to 6 feet 4 inches on a diet of German sausages, and attended Mount Angel Prep where he, not surprisingly, lettered in three sports. After high school, he headed to Oregon State University, where he was the president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees. His athletic prowess continued as he pitched for Oregon State and led their baseball team to the NCAA College World Series in 1952. Upon graduating from OSU, Norb entered the U.S. Air Force as a second lieutenant and served in Udine, Italy, where he lived with his new wife, Ann Ridings, whom he married in 1954. Returning to the States, Norb started his career as a biology teacher and head baseball coach at Tigard High School, where he taught for four years. In the 1960s, Norb changed career directions and entered the world of finance. He began his career as a broker at Francis I. duPont in 1962, eventually becoming a manager. In 1970, he joined Herron Northwest, where he remained until 1974. In 1975, Norb, along with Joe Ferguson and Monte Johnson, took a leap of faith and founded Ferguson, Johnson and Wellman, which ultimately became Ferguson Wellman Capital Management. Norb took great pride in the business that had his name on the door. Norb’s passions went far beyond finance. An avid outdoorsman, Norb’s love of the outdoors found expression in fly fishing and tree farming. He managed his own 180-acre tree farm outside of Woodland, Wash., where he planted, limbed and fell Douglas firs for commercial timber sale. Norb’s intimate knowledge of forests and commitment to conservation merged in his pivotal membership on the board of the Western Rivers Conservancy. The WRC’s efforts to buy and preserve land on either side of wild rivers has made a substantial contribution to the ecological integrity of thousands of acres across the West. Last year, a stretch of the John Day River in Cottonwood Canyon State Park was named “Wellman’s Drift,” in recognition of the key leadership role he played in the creation of Oregon’s newest park. A dedicated supporter of OSU baseball, Norb helped rally support for the Goss Stadium renovation and created an endowed fund named for coach Pat Casey. In 2011, he received the Martin Chaves Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication to OSU Athletics. Norb also served on Continued on page 24 October 2015

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 23 the OSU Foundation Board of Trustees from 1984 to 2005. Norb led a full and exciting life that included traveling the world searching for the perfect fly fishing spot in the company of some of his greatest friends. From Patagonia to Alaska to Christmas Island to Montana, there wasn’t a fishing experience that he didn’t want to have. He also developed a love for cycling in his later years, and for nine years rode Cycle Oregon. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Ann; son, David and partner, Andy Robinson; daughter, Katie and husband, Kevin de Garmo; and beloved granddaughter, Lola Wellman de Garmo. A private service has been held. Norb’s family has established an OSU baseball scholarship in his name. Contributions may be sent to the Oregon State University Foundation, 850 S.W. 35th St., Corvallis, OR 97333. Please note that the donation is for Norb Wellman Baseball Scholarship. Remembrances may also be made to Western Rivers Conservancy (westernrivers.org). Contributions will honor Norb and the WRC’s ongoing efforts to conserve wild rivers, wild fish and wild places.

Mac’s Renovation/Remodel Process Gets a makeover.

t began with a leak in the floor. That leak — from a kitchen dishwasher, which trickled down a wall into the women’s locker room one floor below — cascaded into a new process for handling major construction projects that adds stability and discipline to planning and budgets. And, says MAC President David Horstkotte, the new process returns “sanity” to a system that sometimes forced MAC leaders and staff to juggle dozens of project requests through a complicated budget process. “It’s a strong start,” Horstkotte says of the new construction system. “It’s bound to be modified as we go along. But so far, it’s been tremendously helpful.”

Horstkotte sees hopeful signs in the nearly $4 million remodel/renovation work on the club’s kitchen and ballroom. The 13,000-square-foot renovation that began more than a year ago is the first major project completed under the new capital improvement process. Even though the work has disrupted club activities over the summer, Horstkotte says it has shown that a “holistic” approach to major projects can pay dividends. Renovating and repairing the entire kitchen and ballroom at the same time, instead of doing piecemeal work on a long list of problems that need attention — as had been done in the past — tamed what would have otherwise been a monster of a major project, he says. Today’s holistic approach means one or two major projects are tapped for

funding each year and put on a separate budget track, guided by a planning committee working closely with facilities staff. Projects also are judged by a “complexity scorecard” (filled out by Lemoine, Facility Project Manager Cole Lathrop and Capital Project Manager Diane Kelley) that takes into consideration all sorts of long-range issues, like future utility or operating costs, whether existing club activities will be disrupted during the work and how construction could affect club buildings. “It’s gone a long way to instill discipline in our process,” Horstkotte says.

The holistic approach To understand why MAC changed its construction planning process, you have Continued on page 28 October 2015

The entrance to the center and east ballrooms has been enhanced with new inlaid wood flooring, above. The kitchen gains a new pizza oven, opposite. Continued from page 27 to look at the club’s history of big projects. For years, members of the club’s 40-plus committees and 12-person board pitched construction and repair work of all kinds and sizes into the annual budget process. Projects, some costing millions of dollars, were selected for the coming year, funded and dropped into the facilities system. Think of the projects as a line of dominoes. Major work on one part of the club usually pushed activities to another part, which was forced to adjust to accommodate the entire project. Many times it was like dominoes tipping into one another, falling along a line that eventually led to the Facilities Office, where staff scrambled to work out dozens of details. “It was always the shiny apples, the sexy projects, that got the money,” says MAC Facilities Director Elsa Lemoine. “There were a lot of things that weren’t being considered. Like, does that capital project have consequences for the operations budget now and later? How long will it be relevant – will it be relevant for 25 years or 50 years?” Here’s another big issue: Some MAC facilities are beginning to show their age.

The club has been in its Southwest Salmon Street location for nearly a century. The oldest section of the current structure, the Main Clubhouse, was built in the 1960s. The Loprinzi Wing is the newest part of the club, built in the mid-1990s. The aging structure presents challenges that often lead to higher-end projects, Lemoine says. “Our oldest portion of the club is 50 years old, which means the projects we are going to do are going to be bigger,” she says. “Approaching them holistically will cost more money. We haven’t seen big projects in the past like this (the kitchen/ ballroom remodel), but recently that’s sort of the norm. You’re going to have one $3 million, $4 million or $5 million project a year now.” Lemoine says that under the old system, during the annual budgeting process, projects of all sizes and costs often were approved and then sent to staff for planning and preparation. “We didn’t distinguish between major or other projects,” she says. “Basically, on the same list where you’re replacing a dishwasher or a kitchen plate warmer, you also were looking at a $3 million pool project.”

The Ballroom remodel above, included new carpet, paint and ceiling-to-floor windows with views of Providence Park. Taking the former approach, Lemoine says, led to a piecemeal, something’sbroken-so-let’s-fix-it process. It became a “quilt of Band-Aids,” she says. Horstkotte says facilities staff also spent a lot of time trying to deal with planning and coordination for each project, no matter the size. “It turned this place into a zoo,” he says.

Guidelines developed Horstkotte and Lemoine point to MAC’s rock-climbing gym as an example of the old way of doing things. About a decade ago, Outdoor Activities Program Committee members pitched an idea to convert the green badminton gym into a climbing gym. That meant a major remodel, construction of various size rockclimbing walls, installation of safety equipment, and adjustments for such things as main corridor access for staff and club members. Today, the project isn’t complete, Lemoine says, partly because it has been

done in stages, not as a single, planned project. “We never approached this holistically,” she says. “And that’s the biggest change in how we do projects now.” A real “a-ha moment” for Horstkotte and Lemoine came nearly two years ago, when board members considered a proposal to remodel the women’s locker room. Facilities staff noticed that a leak from the kitchen above the locker room trickled down a wall, complicating the remodel. The leak had to be fixed before the locker room could be remodeled. Remember the dominoes example? The leak led to another issue: the kitchen floor and plumbing needed to be repaired or replaced. That led to another issue: Without an operating kitchen, meals couldn’t be served for ballroom events. That led to another issue: Should the ballroom be closed or remodeled at the same time? Facilities staff tried to piece together plans to fix each problem, but it became overwhelming as each issue rolled into another. “It was like dominoes,” Lathrop Continued on page 31 October 2015

“Alarms went off and the thing just snowballed into a behemoth as each issue of the kitchen project steamrolled board members and staff.” – MAC President David Horstkotte

The kitchen received all new tile flooring with the correction of the drainage issues that contributed to leaks in the Women’s Locker Room.

Building Fitness Continued from page 29 says. “It turned into a ‘while we’re at it…’ project.” Horstkotte says “alarms went off” and “the thing just snowballed into a behemoth” as each issue of the kitchen project steamrolled board members and staff. “We knew we had to do something different.” Board members pulled the plug on the women’s locker room project in early 2014, focusing instead on how to solve

the kitchen repair issue. It was during that process that Horstkotte and staff huddled to come up with a new approach to major projects. Trustees formed a seven-member committee to write new guidelines for major projects. Horstkotte, an engineer, a former member of the Property and Athletic committees and a second-year trustee, was named to the group. Also on the panel were Diana Callaway, a member of the Budget and Finance Committee; Past President Darwin Green; Cameron Hyde, an architect and a former chairman of the Property Committee; Sandy Koski, a member of the 1998 Loprinzi Wing Construction Project Committee; Ron Neiger, a past trustee and treasurer; and Mike Wells, a first-year trustee from the commercial real estate industry. Committee members worked on the guidelines for four months beginning in April 2014. The MAC board approved the changes in July 2014.

The kitchen/ballroom remodel was the first test of the new, holistic construction approach. Today, work is nearly complete on the project that gutted and rebuilt the kitchen, complete with a waterproof membrane under the tile floor. The ballroom’s remodel includes new floor-to-ceiling windows, new carpeting, tile and finishes. Facilities staff already is at work on plans for the women’s locker room remodel, which will be next year’s big project — to be handled through a holistic process. “In the end, it’s all about discipline,” Lemoine says. “It gives us much clearer defined ground rules and checks and balances that are very healthy.” “It’s a new process,” Horstkotte says. “Depending on how you communicate decisions, some groups can feel disenfranchised. But that’s part of the process. “I think we’re going to see a happy outcome because of this process.” WM

AC T I V I T I E S International Color Guru Shares Her Secrets M eet the woman who helps choose Pantone’s color of the year during a special Culture and Style luncheon Thursday, Oct. 29. Color is powerful. It can attract attention. It can engage and leave an impression. Whether you are an interior designer or work in finance, color affects and engages you. Discover how color affects fashion and interiors during a luncheon with international color guru Leatrice Eiseman. Eiseman is the primary consultant to Pantone, the leaders in color communication and specification. Pantone calls on Eiseman’s expertise every year to select its Color of the Year, a driving force in fashion and interior design. Eiseman presents a program showing the historical connection in the 20th and early 21st centuries between fashion and interiors colors, as well as future color and design trends. She has written numerous books, including her most recent work, Pantone on Fashion: a Century of Color in Design. Eiseman’s color expertise is internationally recognized. She has helped many companies make the best and most educated choice of color for product development, brand imaging, interior/ exterior design, fashion and cosmetics, or any other application where color choice is invaluable to the success of the product or environment. She also is involved in color and trend forecasting for both fashion (the semi-annual Pantone Fashion Color Report) and home (Pantone View home + interiors). To have some fun with the fashion and color, attendees are encouraged to wear retro, vintage or modern hats and/ or garments to the event; this plays into the presentation. One lucky color-wearing attendee wins a door prize. This luncheon is from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The cost is $34 for members and $36 for guests. Register online at theMAC.com. ME657 WM

rtistic, fashionable, literary, culinary, political, historical – they’re all areas of opportunity for Culture and Style Committee events. “MAC members have a variety of interests,” says committee Chair Linda Janich Iverson. “Our outlook is for events that connect with the range of our members – women and men, older and younger, professionals and retirees, and all in between. We want to be topical and relevant, and have some fun, too.” With roots in the early days of MAC, when members gathered for social and cultural activities as well as athletic, the Culture and Style Committee has emerged from past committees, including Midday Forum, Midday Luncheon and Women’s Activities. “Whatever the group has been called,” says Rosalie Stevenson, a past committee chair and a retired fashion buyer, “we’ve always focused on new and different topics that appealed to a variety of member interests.” The May evening event on “The Science of Influence,” which focused on communication and body language, drew more than 100 members and guests. “It was definitely valuable subject matter that appealed to a broad range of our members,” says Stephen Scott, a committee member and an attorney who helped put the event together. “No matter where you are in life, the ability to present your best self and learn how to make that presentation is the key to success. The real success was in the diversity of the crowd – men, women, young, old, professionals and retirees.” The annual Holiday Fashion Show is a Culture and Style staple. It’s the largest fashion show in the city,” says Anne Cleve, a

Balladeers

Anxiously Awaiting 75th Anniversary Show While the Balladeers are focusing on fall performances, third-year director Dr. Scott Tuomi already has turned his attention toward getting the ensemble ready for its 75th anniversary in April. “We’re adding more new music and will be using our fall and winter practices and performances to enhance our sound and versatility, all focused on that concert,” Tuomi says. The ensemble is focused on attracting new members and encouraging former members to re-engage for the 75th anniversary performance on April 24. To encourage this, the Balladeers are planning two more open rehearsals, dates TBD.

The Balladeers turn 75 the same year MAC turns 125, and Tuomi promises a truly memorable performance. Under the director, the Balladeers have added local university and youth male choruses for the group’s showcase performance at the club. Last year’s show included some humor and a well-received performance by a young operatic baritone, who the Balladeers joined in a number from Bizet’s opera Carmen. “Although we haven’t nailed things down yet, we’ll have a similarly varied and highquality performance this year. Besides showing off our progress, we’re really trying to put on a great show for MAC members and our guests,” Tuomi said. In the meantime, male members interested in contributing to a moving musical experience should drop in on a Balladeers rehearsal at 7:15 p.m. on Thursdays in the third-floor Activities Classroom.

Listen and Learn

Talks on Homelessness and Outer Space The Listen and Learn lecture series features speakers each month on a variety of topics. Lectures cost $5 for members and $7 for guests, and require advance registration.

Ending Homelessness in Portland: Is It Even Possible? 9-10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13 Every day we see hundreds of people who are homeless on Portland’s sidewalks and in our parks – and there are many more who we don’t see. A decade ago, the City of Portland had a 10-year plan to end homelessness, but during that time, not much appeared to change. Now leaders from Multnomah County, the cities of Portland and Gresham, and the local Housing Authority have recommitted to ending homelessness in our community by launching a joint initiative called A Home for Everyone. Marc Jolin, the director of the initiative, joins us to talk about the history of local homelessness efforts, why this new initiative is different, and what it will take to be successful.

6:30-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26 There has been an explosion in exoplanet (planets that orbit stars other than our own sun) research during the past 20 years. To date, between 1,500 and 1,800 exoplanets have been discovered, which has captured public imagination with the very real possibility that evidence for life outside our own planet could be found in the near future. Further, movies such as Interstellar are beginning to realistically portray what our modern understanding of space and time tells us about travel to these exoplanets. This presentation uses ideas about exoplanets and space time as a portal into questions about what physics has to say about life, meaning and our place in the universe. This lecture is presented by professor James Butler from Pacific University’s Physics Department and professor Todd Duncan of Portland Community College.

Dynamic Volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest 9-10:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9 Volcanoes are a dominant part of the environment in Oregon. Portland is the only city in the Lower 48 with a volcano within city

Those volcanoes come in many shapes and sizes – cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes and calderas – and each has a unique story.

MelloMacs

Singing: The Secret Fountain of Youth The benefits of singing are many, as members of the MelloMacs will tell you. The group, founded in 1961, entertains at MAC and at retirement homes, bringing pleasure to audiences and singers alike. In fact, many studies confirm that music is vital to well-being in humans. Lullabies soothe parents and infants alike, increasing oxygen flow and appetite in the baby. Young people learn to socialize, gain self-esteem, and moderate behavior issues. They even get better grades. For older people, singing can relieve tension headaches, ease breathing in respiratory diseases, and improve cognition in moderate to severe dementia. Cancer patients report improved vitality, social functioning, mental health and less body pain. Brain activity involved in learning music counteracts effects of aging and cognitive decline.

2015 McAplin winner Jan Jackson receives her award from Dwight Terry. So, keep your immune system humming and have fun doing it with The MelloMacs. This season is MAC at the Hop, featuring 1950s and ’60s rock and roll; rehearsals are at 7 p.m. Mondays in the Activities Classroom, and any senior member who wants to sing is invited to check it out. No auditions necessary. The MelloMacs look forward to growing younger with you! –Christine Farrington

Adventure Travel in El Salvador L

earn about Central America’s secret garden, El Salvador, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, during a free talk and slide show by MAC member Francene Grewe. Her husband, Tim, has been a resident adviser to the U.S. Department of Treasury, working at the U.S. Embassy in San Salvador the past two years. Inhabited since 900 CE by the Cuzcatlan people and conquered by the Spaniards 500 years ago, today El Salvador is a nation that hasn’t yet been discovered by many tourists or large-scale operators. But it does have a thriving locals-led tourism industry. Grewe talks about which local guides to seek out in places such as Suchitoto, a beautiful hill town where you can set off on natural history or birding tours, or tours to sites impacted by the 1980-1992 civil war. Guides, who lived through the era, explain the social, political and economic forces that led to the war and its aftermath. The Ruta de las Flores, or Flower Route, is a 22-mile drive in towns such as Juayúa, with its weekly food festival that attracts Salvadorans from across the nation, and Ahuachapán, with its hot springs. Waterfalls, hill towns, birding, Mayan ruins, surfing, volcanoes, horseback riding, hot springs, local arts and crafts, and national parks: They’re all part of El Salvador’s visitor attractions. And Grewe says the Salvadorans themselves are a big part of why she loves to travel there: They’re welcoming and gracious, glad to host visitors.

Top, the Mayan ruins of Tazumal. Above, surf lessons on the Pacific Coast in Playa El Tunco. Recently, El Salvador has been in the news for its high levels of gang violence. A June statement from the U.S. Department of State warns that crime is high, though it is not targeted at visitors, and thousands visit the country each year. With its dry season corresponding to Oregon’s gray spring, El Salvador is a perfect option for the adventurous traveler. The event is free, but make a reservation to ensure enough seating is available. WH118

Avery Cook, left, works with MAC Climbing Team member Olivia Durant at the Climbing Gym.

Climbing

MAC’s Cook Named to USA Climbing Board C limbing Member Coach Avery Cook is helping to spearhead growth in the sport with her recent appointment to the USA Climbing Board of Directors. USA Climbing is the governing body of the sport of competitive climbing in the United States. and is dedicated to ensuring the success and growth of the sport. Cook has been a crucial piece of the success that the MAC Climbing team has had in the past several years, actively coaching athletes and bringing together the Oregon climbing community as a regional coordinator for USA Climbing. She’s also worked on multistate championship climbing events, including those MAC has hosted, and is working on two championship events at MAC in 2016 for the 125th anniversary celebration. What have the highlights and challenges been during your tenure at the MAC? Unquestionably, the biggest highlight has been being a part of a team and a MAC community that has supported the sport of climbing. When I first accepted the role of member coach in early 2010, I didn’t quite know what to expect from the MAC. Before joining MAC, my coaching experience in the region was with other clubs that didn’t have the same youth team know-how that MAC does. Having other successful youth team programs to model and build on has been an instrumental piece of building a successful team. I’m not sure if I could pick out a single moment as a highlight; there have been so many in the past five years. Our first regional team championship a few years ago would be up there. Because of my role with USA Climbing, I’ve had some proud moments where I was the person to place podium ribbons around our MAC athletes at championship events. I think those are my favorite, watching an athlete work so hard all season and then have it all come together at the big events. I can’t help but swell up with pride when I see them climb so well and then stand on the podium in The Winged M.

56 | The Wınged M |

October 2015

What do you want to accomplish in your new role on the USA Climbing Board of Directors? In the near term, I am committed to working with the board to recognize the important role coaches play within USA Climbing and focusing on raising the bar for those in the profession. USA Climbing is a young, growing organization and I see a lot of opportunity to elevate the profession of climbing coaches. I have been working with many of the same coaches in the Northwest the past few years, and we’ve developed a strong regional coaching network. I would like to help bring that same type of professional network to the national level. Long term, I hope to help put Oregon on the map for competitive climbing. I would love to see Oregon host a national or international event down the road. Where do you want to take all of this? That’s a great question – I don’t know if I’ve given it that much thought. I do this because I believe that being involved in youth athletics, especially climbing, sets up young athletes to handle unexpected challenges in the future. To be a successful climber, you have to stay healthy and strong, be mentally prepared to handle risk and failure, work with others, and balance your priorities … all valuable life skills. I’m trying to keep an open mind with where this will take me personally. I’m hoping I can play an important role in bringing national recognition to MAC and our climbing program. What’s next for the climbing team? Last climbing season, MAC climbers had some great success at the national and international level, and I’m hopeful these athletes’ stories and successes continue to breed a positive and championship team culture where regional, divisional and national podium finishes are commonplace. The MAC program is one of the best in the country, and we [coaching staff] have every intention of creating more championship opportunities for our athletes this climbing year. WM

Don’t Ignore Sleep as the Days Grow Busy F

all brings the start of school, busy schedules and the beginning of the holiday season. This can spell stress, which can mean the quality and quantity of sleep is inadequate and incomplete. Sleep is when your body goes into repair mode. The body and mind hit reset, so that the next morning you are ready to tackle the day. Lack of deep restorative sleep may, at the very least, make you tired and grumpy during the day, but there also are long-term effects from chronic lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can significantly increase your risk of some cancers, hypertension, and cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke. Poor sleep can lead to depression, substance abuse, diabetes and obesity. Sleep also can affect our brain. Sleep is the time for our body to clear out toxins. One such toxin is beta amyloid, and beta amyloid plaques have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Poor sleep also affects our immune system, studies have shown a potential 200 percent increase in catching certain viruses and infections. When abnormal sleep becomes a “habitude,” good sleep hygiene techniques need to be implemented to break the cycle. 1. Maintain regular sleep patterns. Go to bed and wake the same time every day and night regardless of the day of the week 2. Associate bed with sleep – no stimulants such as TV, eating, or working on your computer, iPad, etc., in bed. 3. Avoid alcohol and heavy meals at least two to four hours before bedtime. 4. Exercise at least 30 minutes per day.

5. Avoid stimulants, like coffee, during the day. 6. Sleep in a cool, dark room and consider using a white-noise machine. 7. Take a nice warm bath at night with bath salts or Epsom salt. 8. Consider keeping a sleep diary to see if there is a pattern to your abnormal sleep. 9. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, or try progressive muscle relaxation techniques. 10. Consider a sleep study to see if sleep apnea may be the cause of your unrestful sleep. I am wary of some sleep medications and medications with off-label use for sleep. There can be a host of side effects or addiction potential. Consider instead a Sleepytime tea, with chamomile, passion flower and magnesium. There are some herbs that can help with disrupted sleep, meaning you wake in the middle of the night and stay awake from two minutes to two hours, but check with your doctor and consult a professional on these herbs before trying them. If you’d like more information and treatment options, join Lisa Buchmiller and myself for a threeweek series, Rest, Restore, Re-energize starting in October. –Dr. Lindsey Nelson WM

Keep Your Joints Happy and They’ll Return the Favor I am writing this article on a Monday morning with my joints popping and my knees and ankles aching. Why? I spent the weekend hiking, paddle boarding, water skiing, golfing and taking a Zumba class. But, it was a great weekend and well worth the Monday creaks. Like me, many people experiencing joint pain have a similar mindset – work hard, play hard. Their joints have taken years of abuse with little thought about lasting joint health. As we age, it is hard to reverse the long-term effects of wear and tear. Joint replacement is the leading treatment for Osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear. The number of total knee and hip replacements has risen more than 150 percent in the past 20 years, which means more and more people are able to stay active into their golden years. Joint pain also can be caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which is an autoimmune condition causing inflammation and joint destruction. Modern medicine has helped significantly treat rheumatoid arthritis with anti-inflammatories, steroids, antirheumatic drugs, biologic agents and surgery, but there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, and some of the treatments can have serious side effects. I encourage patients struggling with rheumatoid arthritis to have a multidisciplinary approach for treating the pain and limited mobility associated with RA.

So what should the weekend warrior do come Monday morning? Topical anti-inflammatory salves like capsaicin, or homeopathic topical creams that contain arnica and rhus tox can reduce swelling and relieve pain. Fish oils also are great anti-inflammatories and help lubricate the joints. Ginger and turmeric are excellent supplements for treating inflammation. Although the research is inconclusive on glucosamine sulfate, I’ve had many patients say they see a huge difference in increasing joint mobility and lessening associated pain. Once the joints are at the point of needing joint replacement, I have no magical naturopathic cure. However, what naturopathy does best is help plan

for the future. Here are some tips to help preserve those joints, so you can maintain your active lifestyle. Exercise and gentle weight training are key. Joints are shock absorbers, so strengthen the muscles that surround the joints with light weight training. This will lessen the pressure on those joints. There are plenty of trainers at MAC to get you started on a weight-training program if you need more guidance. Also, exercise to improve blood flow and to keep your weight under control. Excess pounds means excess pressure and weight on the joints. And finally, alternating ice and heat after particularly hard workouts helps decrease inflammation, increase blood flow, and help with recovery. –Dr. Lindsey Nelson WM

Shoulder Mechanics and Causes of Dysfunction MAC Wellness welcomes Dr. Brooke Bennis from RestorePDX at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, for a free evening discussion about the mechanics of the shoulder and potential causes of dysfunction and injury. The discussion includes live dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound evaluation, review of anatomy and kinesiology in the shoulder region, and the mechanism of injury in common shoulder pathology. The role for traditional versus orthobiologic treatment and current research on nonsurgical options for shoulder pain, including recovery time, return to play, and simple therapeutic shoulder exercises to prevent and treat musculoskeletal dysfunction also are to be discussed.

Golf

Monthly Tip: Watch the Spot! The goal in golf is to get the ball into the hole in the fewest number of strokes. That may tempt players to follow the ball as it rolls toward the cup instead of simply trusting their stroke. Next time you putt, try this tip: Let your eyes relax and focus on the spot on the green under the golf ball. Once you have stroked your putt, look for that spot on the green, and listen to the ball fall into the cup. Trust your stroke, and remember to watch the spot. Continued on page 64

Handball

MAC Makes the Trek to Worlds Fifteen intrepid MAC handball players made the trek to Calgary, Alberta, Canada to take on the World. This was the largest single contingent from one athletic club in the United States, a strong indicator of the status the MAC enjoys in the handball universe – quite literally the national leader in terms of quality players. Attrition set in immediately, so much so that MAC players were only able to produce one world champ – Ed “Murderfist” Grossenbacher, who took the title in Men’s 75-plus doubles with a partner from Tucson, Ariz. His game was precise and decisive, taking advantage of every opening or deficient shot by the other teams. Grossenbacher also reached the semifinals of the 75-plus Singles division.

David Steinberg and Craig Trull reached the quarterfinals of the 60-plus doubles group. Notably, nearly 100 junior players (under 19) made the long trip from Ireland, and they

dominated many of the available brackets. The United States sent 11 junior players. Now is the time for American players to start investing some time and energy in promoting this fascinating sport among our youth.


Athletics At the fall kickoff banquet in mid-September, several MAC players were recognized for their contributions: Austin Biddle, one of the best young players in the United States, was named most improved. Dean Duncan was recognized for his outstanding sportsmanship, and Matt Steele was honored with the Cebulla Award for his leadership and many contributions to the game. MAC Handball intramurals started in September and J.D. McLandrich, newly designated as a MAC member coach, heads up the action. McLandrich also has several good ideas for growing the game within the club, so be on the lookout for opportunities to give the game a try. You’ll find an amazing amount of enthusiastic support and worldclass instructional opportunities.

New Students Discover Insights of Karate MAC Karate is delighted to have 12 new students in the beginner-intermediate class at from 5:15-6:15 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s fun to get to know the new personalities and to see the inevitable growth that occurs with regular practice. Most of these students have been training in karate for under a year, and several already have advanced to blue belt level. Their consistent attendance, attention in class, concentration on body movement and the forms, as well as their athletic ability, have led them to move forward rapidly. Laura Baldwin, 22, who has been training since spring this year, says she enjoys the physical fitness benefits that karate affords her. Not only is she increasing her fitness and stamina, she is getting a confidence boost and feels that the self-defense aspect of the sport is helping her. An orange belt, she participates in the class with three of her siblings and her mother. Charlie Kingsley has been training for nearly two years and has ranked up to blue belt. Even though he is only 9 years old, he comes to the later advanced class and trains with the “big boys.” He admits to being the shortest one in the class, not to mention, “the only redhead.” Charlie has competed in two tournaments and attended the summer camp at Sensei Yoshida’s property on the Sandy River. He finds the fighting to be a lot of fun and has set a goal of becoming a better fighter. Olivia Powell is 14 and just started training this summer after trying a few other classes at MAC. She enjoys blowing off steam while also getting a workout and making friends with new people. Her brother had better

Olivia recognizes that all the other students are working to have fun and help one another. It is all in good fun, but already she is an aggressive fighter. Henry Perrin already has used some of his karate skills to assist him in avoiding a confrontation. He is 7 years old and has only been training for one year, but has noticed that karate has helped him with his discipline and focus in school and other activities. His favorite parts of karate are being in a group, sparring and the different colored belts. Currently an orange belt, he has the long-term goal of becoming a black belt and the short-term goal of testing this fall for his blue belt.

MAC synchro juniors are beginning their year, with new swimmers learning terms like sculling, egg-beater, ballet-leg, hypoxy and land drill. They join last year’s swimmers, who ended their season in June at Junior Olympics in Greensboro, N.C. The Junior Olympics is the largest synchro meet in the world, and MAC swimmers competed with more than 1,000 U.S. swimmers. The 11-12 age group team finished in 11th place out of 34 teams. Nadia Vondeling, Carly Isselman and alternate Aliyah Blank finished 11th in the 11-12 duet, and Vondeling’s solo routine ranked ninth in the nation. MAC also sent two 13-15 age group teams to Junior Olympics; they ranked 14th and 20th out of 45 teams. Andrea Percic ranks fifth in the nation for the 13-15 age group, and in August, represented MAC at the UANA Pan American Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. While juniors are just beginning their season, Masters synchro ends its competitive season in October in Grand Rapids, Mich., at the U.S. Masters Synchronized Swimming Championships. Masters range in age from 22 to 85, and include most of MAC’s coaching staff, including Olympian Lucie Svrcinova. On Thursday, Oct. 8, they perform at their annual exhibition at MAC.

Table tennis clinics are open to anyone who loves the recreational game of ping pong and wants to learn some techniques used by the professionals. MAC Saturday clinics, taught by U.S. Certified National Coach and licensed public school teacher Jeff Mason, continue throughout the year, so players may continue improving in the months ahead. Clinics are offered twice a month. The junior clinic is designed for students ages 7 to 13 who want to learn more about the sport of table tennis. The basic strokes, serves, etiquette and general techniques of the sport will be covered in every clinic. The adult clinics include a beginner-novice clinic from 2-3 p.m. and a novice-advanced clinic from 3-4 p.m. Juniors may be invited by the instructor to participate in these clinics as they advance. The cost is $15 per clinic for MAC members/$18 for guests. Each clinic is limited to 15 students and will have a minimum of one instructor per five students. Participants are encouraged to attend as many of the clinics as possible to develop their game. Clinics are designed to build and improve upon existing skills. As basic strokes and serves are mastered, students may advance to the next level. Players may sign up for one or all clinics at this time to secure a spot. These clinics will be full, so signing up early is encouraged. Clinic Dates: Sept. 12, Sept. 26, Oct. 10, Oct 24, Nov. 14, Nov. 28, Dec. 12, and Dec. 26.

Husband-Wife Duo Lead Teams to Sectionals What began years ago as a fun activity now has Darryl and Lori Bernhardt traveling with racquets and friends in a quest to reach United States Tennis Association Nationals. This summer Darryl and Lori simultaneously led MAC tennis teams to city playoff wins to advance to the Sectional tournament in Spokane, Wash. Both hope to lead their teams to the USTA National Tournament in Palm Desert, Calif. Lori began playing tennis in the ’90s for enjoyment and exercise. She quickly embraced the game and the competition. The first USTA (3.0) team Lori joined in 1999 played well enough to earn a berth at the national championships. That experience unleashed her competitive spirit. In 2009 Continued on page 72 October 2015

Something's brewing in The -M-porium.

Tennis Continued from page 71 Lori sensed that there were a numerous solid USTA (3.5) women who could compete for MAC and formed a team. This team, her first to captain, won matches all the way to the finals of the USTA national tournament, placing second to Puerto Rico. Ever since, Lori has assembled a team to represent MAC. After watching Lori play matches over the years, Darryl decided to take up the sport. When the kids moved on to college and with more time on the weekends, Darryl joined a USTA (3.0) team in 2011. Similar to Lori’s experience, Darryl’s first team won enough matches to advance to the National tournament. This year, they are in the unique position of being the first MAC husband and wife combination to lead their respective teams to playoffs simultaneously. They share a similar philosophy to promote team spirit without tension. Darryl’s team motto is to be a “team of gentlemen tennis players with no drama.” Lori adds, “The most rewarding aspect of being involved with MAC tennis has been making friendships and sharing the team camaraderie.” Another area the teams share is a great locker room, albeit “virtual,” but both emphasize positive communication and good sportsmanship to benefit the entire team. The Bernhardts stress that assistance from MAC tennis pro Waldemar Holowetzki has been invaluable. Holowetzki supports the teams by coaching clinics for outside practice, being available for strategic advice and attending playoff matches when possible. The planning, teamwork and practice has paid off this summer as they vie for spots in the national tournament. So the next time you’re looking for something fun to do with new friends, join a USTA Team at MAC. You may just find yourself traveling with racquet in hand.

Walking and Hiking

Volcano Rescue Team Saves Lives on Mountain In September, dozens of intrepid runners participated in the Volcano 50 ultramarathon. This annual 50-kilometer race circumnavigates Mount Saint Helens, mostly on the Loowit Trail. There is a total of 7,400 feet of elevation gain on a trail that varies from treacherous to very dangerous. A stumble on this trail in places could lead to a fall of several hundred feet down a steep rocky slope, or a fracture as runners stride from rock to rock over an extensive lava field. MAC hikers have first hand experience of the daunting portions of this route, since we hike on a number of sections of the Loowit Trail.

In the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens, there was a huge lahar, an ice and mud flow, down the East side of the mountain. Now there are a number of deep canyons in this area. Runners and hikers have to traverse these canyons on a trail that in places is only half a foot wide on a crumbling slope. What happens when something serious occurs on a hike or a run in this remote steep terrain far from the nearest road? If we are lucky, we have cell service at the point of the accident, but it is very likely that a member of the group would have to hike out some distance to find help or a cell signal. So if we have an emergency on Mount Saint Helens and reach 911, who is going to respond? This is the subject of the presentation at the club on Tuesday November 10. Steve Bregman, a member of the Volcano Rescue Team and its former chairman, gives a presentation about the history of the Volcano Rescue Team and it current activities. He also demonstrates some of the equipment used in a rescue on steep terrain, and discusses the support his team provides the Volcano 50 run. The Volcano Rescue Team is an all-volunteer organization of first responders who have to purchase all their own equipment and pay for their own training. MAC hikers’ first encounter with this dedicated group was when they sent a team to assist Skamania County Emergency Medical Services in the rescue of one of our hikers in the Columbia Gorge in December 2013. The Walking and Hiking Committee encourages hikers, runners and any interested Continued on page 74

Yoga

Channel Exccess Energy with Restorative Yoga Restorative Yoga is a gentle, patient and supportive practice. It is the centering of breath and body that leads toward a healing and recuperative experience. For some, the intention of a restorative practice is to feel blissful and light; for others to be stable and rooted. Restorative’s approach is geared toward accommodating and supporting that intention by emphasizing integration: • Aligning the bones in a way that draws to the core of the body • Simple poses with prolonged holds to achieve a deep level of relaxation • The use of props to cradle the body to feel safe and nurtured • Honoring your mental state. Once you become more connected to the breath, the whole nervous system calms, allowing whatever rises and falls more easily. We live busy lives. We work hard, play hard and exercise harder. Restorative yoga provides a way to channel excess physical, mental and emotional energy. Restorative yoga is offered from 4-5:15 p.m. Sundays in Studio Two. WM

History at MAC Archivist George Vogt came to MAC in 2011 to help bring order to the vast array of artifacts and documents associated with the club. He writes an occasional column for The Winged M. This month, Vogt sorted through old construction photos to find this image.

Making Way for a New Clubhouse T his photo was taken in August 1971, and appeared in the September 1971 Winged M. According to the original photo caption, two pushes from the bulldozer “reduced most of the clubhouse to rubble, but the old lounge (pictured) still stood, mostly intact.” Demolition made way for construction of the Main Clubhouse, which was completed in 1974. MAC’s most recent major project was the renovation of the kitchen and The Ballroom, which was completed in September. For more on those projects, see Building Fitness on page 27.
