eptember brings new schedules, routines and classes as we swirl into fall. The lazy, fun-filled days of summer become a warm memory. This summer, MAC families experienced an amazing summer camp program. A generation Holly Lekas ago, camps were limPRESIDENT ited to swim lessons, track camp and a few other sports. This year, as a result of the creative, thoughtful and diligent efforts of staff, our kids had an abundance of exciting opportunities and a ton of fun!

Summer mornings began at MAC with a rush to sign in. Our kids sat eagerly at labeled tables, ready to leap into camps. A personal favorite was the Mermaid Camp, where kids transformed into mermaids flowing through the water with magical tails. There were day camps like MAC-ing Around Town Camp — my granddaughter’s favorite. As I picked her up on the last day, she and her two new friends were busily exchanging their moms’ cell phone numbers for a future play date.

Each camp provided a chance to learn, grow and make new MAC friends. This is one way we keep our MAC community vibrant. Thank you, MAC staff, for making this summer the best ever for our kids and families.

The Sunset Bistro again proved to be a summer hit. The early happy hour served members well. A wide variety of seating and bright red colors created a warm and friendly environment. If you have not taken the opportunity to enjoy the delicious menu of the Sunset Bistro, please do so this month before it closes for the season on Sept. 8.

Our General Manager Transition Chairs, Marlis Miller and D’Anne O’Neill, have been very busy working for all MAC members and staff. While interviewing recruiting firms to identify the best match for our needs, they also worked on ways to engage members in the search process. Bev Davis, chair of the Communications Committee, and Jen Scott, Marketing & Communications director, designed a survey that was sent to all members with an email address on file. The survey gathered input about the skills, experience and traits desired in our new general manager.

Communication Committee members will be

compiling and evaluating the results to help guide our selection process. Thank you for taking time to take the survey. Our talented chairs meet with the Board of Trustees (BOT) at our monthly meetings, and in-between, as necessary, while we seek new leadership.

This fall, the BOT and staff will begin working on the 2020 operational budget.

This year will be an extremely challenging one, with significant increases due to the new state pay-equity law, continuation of minimum-wage increases, significant increases in employee benefits (health insurance and worker’s compensation), and other insurance costs. The Budget and Finance Committee will dedicate a substantial amount of time to creating a workable, cost-effective budget.

Please trust that we, as fellow members, will ensure that we cover the expenses needed to operate at a platinum-level athletic club, while staying conscious of the impact of dues increases.

We continue to make progress on our strategic plan. The Ad Hoc Member Experience Committee, renamed the Ad Hoc Club Experience Committee, will share survey results with other committees. The Ad Hoc Access Committee continues to work to improve the master calendar to address parking issues. The Ad Hoc Membership Categories and 2020 Lottery Committee presented its report to the BOT at the July meeting. It will now move forward to plan the 2020 Lottery.

A member recently approached me to ask, “Are you the president?” She explained that she had thought she was saying hello to me previously, but it was another member, who looked like me. She had taken my invitation to say hello seriously! Her effort and big smile made my day. Later that same week on the tennis courts, a player wished me a good day as we packed up our gear. His simple greeting again made my day, especially since I had interrupted his play three times with stray balls. As each ball flew onto his court, I apologized. On the third time he replied with a smile, “Well, at least you are consistent.”

Daily, I see members help one another or invite them to share a table or wish them a good day. These efforts are part of the woven fiber of the Multnomah Athletic Club, which results in a strong, vibrant community. So, this month, remember to say “Hi!” to a MAC member as you pass them in the hall or see them on the court or on the exercise machine next to you. We all play a role in continuing to strengthen our MAC community.

S

eptember signals the winding down of many of the activities that great Oregon summers offer. With autumn fast approaching, MAC undergoes a homecoming of sorts, with members looking to re-engage with their favorCameron ite sports, classes or McMurry activities. I hope that FOOD & BEVERAGE also includes enjoying DIRECTOR new culinary creations and participating in social events hosted by our incredible member committees.

Servers and bartenders, as the stewards of alcohol service, have a responsibility to assure that we comply with Oregon Liquor Control Commission regulations and laws.

In Oregon, as in most states, an individual server or bartender can be held liable, along with the Multnomah Athletic Club, for over serving a guest who causes harm to themselves or others. Therefore, any server or bartender who suspends or denies alcohol service will always be supported by MAC supervisors and managers. This is not only a best practice, but a legal requirement in Oregon. As a premiere athletic club that promotes an active lifestyle and wellness, we want to assure everyone that our members and community are safe and well cared for by staff.

Alcohol Service

Changing Seasons, Changing Times

A few months ago I mentioned safety issues around alcohol service and keeping glassware in appropriate areas of the club. Members and staff have asked that I provide more information and speak to some of the regulations and obligations required for the responsible service of alcohol.

The MAC service staff, including waiters, bartenders, supervisors and managers, are required to have a service permit certified by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission prior to serving alcoholic beverages. One of the first requirements of serving alcohol is that staff understand how to identify a VIP. While we do consider our members very important, the acronym VIP in the alcohol service regulations is a “Visibly Intoxicated Person.” Some of the signs servers are trained to look for are: Slurred speech; swaying; staggering or stumbling; drinking too fast; crude or inappropriate behavior towards others; extreme or sudden change in behavior; overly loud; boisterous, animated or entertaining; nodding off at the table or bar; slow response to questions; bravado or boasting; overly friendly to staff or other guests.

The staff also are trained that being served alcohol at MAC is a privilege not a right.

Statements such as “I have a designated driver” or “I’m taking an Uber or walking” do not allow for the continued service of a VIP. The service staff at MAC appreciates the membership and their guests and wants them all to enjoy the club’s social events and dining venues in a responsible manner.

As we wind down the fifth year of Sunset Bistro and Splash, we want to thank all the members who made 2019 such a great success. It is quite a feat turning the outside area into an urban bistro. The entire Food & Beverage team pulled together to bring an al fresco dining experience to the club. I could not be prouder of all their efforts and incredible team work. Enjoying summer in Oregon with a frozé and a Thai street taco is about as good as it gets.

Not wanting to rest on our laurels, members will continue to see changes in menu offerings and specials in all of the Food & Beverage outlets, including catering.

Joe’s continues to expand its offering of healthy, appropriately portioned grab-andgo items. Joe’s Manager Julie Waldman and Sous Chef April Ramos continue to work on lowering the amount of single-service plastic to-go containers. They both have a passion for improving sustainability and feeding our members using the best ingredients they can source.

We hope to see you soon and often in a MAC restaurant. You won’t want to miss out on what master French chef, James Beard Award recipient and Executive Chef Philippe Boulot has planned.

“In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.” — Julia Child

FACES IN THE CLUB When third and fourth graders playing for Lincoln Youth Baseball’s Minors team won the Junior Baseball Organization’s State Tournament, MAC members might have felt their throwing arms tingle. That’s because five of its 13 players are also junior club members! Kai Casebeer (outfield, second base, pitcher), Mason Davis (outfield), Jaxon Mersereau (outfield), Davis Morrell (outfield), and Kai Nozaki (outfield, pitcher) represented the club admirably in the team’s victory over Westview.

“My team worked so hard since January,” Casebeer says. “Right after the championship game, we went to our head coach’s house and had a water balloon fight and barbecue! We also got to go to a Mariners game in Seattle in August.”

He adds that time spent in MAC’s batting cage helped him work on his hitting and pitching, and that athletic classes and other opportunities for improvement at MAC shaped all of the club’s competitive youth who shared in the victory.

The team played and practiced five to six days a week for roughly five months leading up to the championship, and was one of 76 Oregon teams to vie for this top honor.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Allyson Wilinski at 503-517-7222 or awilinski@themac.com.

New MAC Parking Manager Tim Glazier started in his role on Tax Day, but don’t hold that against him. The Air Force veteran has extensive experience in parking and security, and says that his favorite part of the job thus far is working with members and staff to solve problems. Congeniality appears to be a trait Glazier’s exhibited since early in life; as a teenager, he attempted to break the world record for the longest handshake! A fan of cult film “The Big Lebowski,” Glazier does his best to abide, but also takes his duties seriously. If pressed regarding the club’s parking rules, don’t be surprised if he paraphrases the famous line, “This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.” This is MAC, after all. There is parking, and there most certainly are rules.

The Multnomah Athletic Foundation recently got another set of hands when it hired Executive Assistant Emily Stratman.

“We are thrilled to have her energy, talent and organizational skills join our community outreach,” says MAF Executive Director Lisa Bendt. Stratman is originally from Arcata, California, and recently graduated from North Carolina School of the Arts with a bachelor’s degree in stage management for theater. She says she’s excited to be a part of MAF and to dive into the nonprofit sector.

After moving to Portland in February, she joined a Dragon Boat team, and says that she enjoyed playing Ultimate Frisbee and going to baseball games with her dad when she was growing up. When not at the foundation, Stratman can be found baking, riding her bike, practicing yoga, learning French or exploring Portland.

Former MAC Gymnastics Assistant Coach Rob Petit has accepted a promotion and now serves as the Girls Gymnastics Head Coach!

Petit has been the interim head coach for the past season and is excited to move into his permanent role at the helm of the girls program. “My favorite part of the job has always been working with the kids, doing my best to build them up and give them a positive experience,” he says. He also is passionate about wine tasting with his wife, Weight Room Supervisor and Personal Trainer Nancy Petit.

Despite being raised in West Linn, which is knows as being one of Portland’s wealthier suburbs, Petit loves the blue-collar storytelling of The Boss. “Springsteen, baby!,” he exclaims when asked about his favorite band.

“He’s a great American poet!”

At 10:17 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, MAC employees, along with 12 million others, are participating in the Great Shake Out — a global event educating people about what to do in the event of an earthquake and giving them a chance to practice earthquake emergency procedures. MAC members are encouraged to take part.

The drill lasts about one minute, and can be practiced by anyone (even away from the club). MAC will use the emergency-notification system during the drill, which consists of the following: Drop to the ground onto hands and knees to prevent from being knocked down by the shaking or falling objects. Stay low and crawl to shelter nearby Cover your head and neck with one arm and hand.

• If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter.

• If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows).

• Stay on knees and bend over to protect vital organs.

Hold on until shaking stops.

CLUB NEWS House Committee Sanctions

T

he House Committee enforces rules of conduct for members and guests by investigating infractions and recommending sanctions to the Board of Trustees. Recent board actions are listed below, along with reminders about the applicable club rules.

New Parking Structure Fines in Effect Sept. 1

T

he House Committee has seen an increase in parking violations and determined that current fines aren’t serving as a deterrent. They are substantially lower than the city’s, especially in relation to violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Fine amounts are now based on all violations issued to a member account in a rolling 12-month period, regardless of the vehicle or driver. Three or more violations of any sort in a rolling 12-month timeframe are the responsibility of the primary account holder and are grounds for House Committee review as a violation of Club Rules for Behavior Unbecoming a Member and Rules Violation, including possible disciplinary action.

Rules Reminders Abuse of members, nonmembers or staff: Including but not limited to verbal or nonverbal offense, inappropriate gestures or threatening language.

Behavior unbecoming a member: Any behavior that is deemed inappropriate for a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, regardless of reference to specific Club Rule.

Damaging property/vandalism: Causing or contributing to permanent or temporary damage to club, member or staff property. Including but not limited to, failure to report a vehicular incident Rules violation: Violation of any Club Rule not otherwise categorized. Including, but not limited to, refusal to present membership card, photographing members without permission.

Rules Violations • A 57-year-old member with 10 years tenure was suspended for three months for behavior unbecoming a member and rules violation. The member was witnessed taking food from the Sports Pub buffet without paying for the items.

• Two 14-year-old junior members were suspended for nine months for abuse of members, nonmembers or staff, behavior unbecoming a member and damaging property/vandalism. The members made inappropriate sounds and gestures, which made another junior member feel uncomfortable and avoid their intended area of the club. In addition, there were two counts of vandalism in the Men’s Locker Room. The junior members spilled and spread lotion and soap over the floors and on the urinals on two separate occasions.

• A 41-year-old member with 17 years tenure was suspended for three months for abuse of members, nonmembers or staff and behavior unbecoming a member.

The member was rude and used threatening language to Accounting staff multiple times over the phone and email.

CLUB NEWS Building a Stronger MAC Community

O

ne of my greatest pleasures since accepting the interim general manager position has been getting to know the staff and glean a better understanding of how the club operates behind the scenes. After 20-plus years of membership at MAC, I certainly had an appreciation for the employees who come here every day. But as I gain a deeper understanding of how these more than 670 people accomplish their goal of creating an exceptional experience for members, my appreciation has grown. MAC employees are dedicated and hard-working. The vast majority of our members treat them with respect and show appreciation for their work.

Unfortunately, as interim general manager, I am now seeing the “incident reports” that result from situations where members may not treat our employees appropriately. While most of these situations do not rise to the level of a House Committee involvement, the Club Rules contain a Member Code of Conduct, which states:

“MAC membership is a privilege, one that carries with it the expectation that members will abide by a high ethical code. Members and guests will treat each other and employees with dignity and respect at all times. Abusive language and behavior will not be tolerated and is grounds for sanctions up to expulsion. Abusive behavior may include but is not limited to: harassment, offensive comments, profanity, threatening language or gestures, and unwanted physical contact.”

I believe that this Code of Conduct should be the minimum level at which we treat each other and our employees. For many members and employees, MAC serves as a refuge from an outside world where these values may not be demonstrated. When we walk through these doors, we are reconnecting with our community and behaving in a way that fosters friendships, support, and encouragement.

Members should want to hold themselves to a higher standard than that Code of Conduct and not forget that the MAC community also includes our employees.

Lost and Found: What Happens to All That Stuff?

W

ith the population of a small city coming into MAC each day, there’s always an item or two left behind. That quickly adds up to a large Lost and Found collection. Ever wonder what happens to it all?

After waiting a few weeks for owners to reclaim their lost items, MAC turns its focus to giving back to the community. The club donates the left-behind items to nonprofit charities, such as Project Lemonade and Teen Challenge. And it’s a lot. Three hundred pounds of lost-and-found items are donated each month!

Items most-often left behind: Water bottles, shoes, shirts and shorts.

Weirdest/oddest thing left: Men’s suits that were never claimed.

Busiest day of the week: Monday: All the things left during weekend activities.

Busiest time of the year: Winter: There are more jackets, sweatshirts, hats and scarves.

Members looking to reclaim a lost item should visit the Exercise and Conditioning Room or call the E&C Center Desk at extension 7541. For those who have lost valuable items such as a phone, jewelry or keys, contact At Your Service at 503-517-7527.

Holiday Decorating Donations Needed

T

he Holiday Decorating Committee is seeking small religious decorations for the upcoming season, including Kwanzaa decorations and Jewish ornaments and special dreidels. Items must not be more than two-feet tall in order to fit in the trophy case by the Reading Lounge. Donated pieces become part of MAC’s permanent collection and are welcome gifts to its growing holiday display. Please contact Megann Williams at mwilliams@themac.com or 503-517-6605 for more information.

CLUB NEWS

In Memoriam Richard Henry Gustafson Jan. 17, 1934—July 26, 2019 Richard (Dick) Gustafson died in Spokane, Washington, at age 85, after an accident on his ATV near Pendleton, Oregon. He was too injured to survive the trauma and passed peacefully as his immediate family surrounded his bed.

Dick was born in Burns, Oregon, to Reginald Alexander Gustafson and Georgia E. Frye Gustafson. His birth mother died shortly after he and his twin sister were born.

He was raised by his wonderful stepmother, Georgia McCreath Gustafson, after a family move to Portland. He graduated in 1951 from Franklin High School and attended Vanport College and Portland State College (now PSU) before graduating from Oregon State College (now OSU) in pharmacy. While at OSU, he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Also while at OSU, Dick met Joyce Rae Meyersick from Pendleton, and they married Aug. 5, 1956. He died just 10 days short of their 63rd wedding anniversary.

Upon graduation, he enlisted in the Army Medical Corp and attained the rank of captain. Dick joined his father in the family’s Errol Heights Pharmacy in southeast Portland. Dick had grown up being a soda jerk and delivery boy in the store, so it was a natural move. Father and son worked together until Reginald retired on his 80th birthday.

Dick purchased Westmoreland Drug and continued his SE Portland community pharmacy career until retiring in 1996. In 2007, he was very proud to receive his 50-year certificate as a registered pharmacist, as his father had done before him. He was active in the Oregon State Pharmacists Association and the Portland Retail Drug Association, and was awarded Pharmacist of the Year in 1996. Dick was a 48-year member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, belonged to the Flyfishers’ Club of Oregon, and was active in the Boy Scouts. He was very proud when his sons and grandson became Eagle Scouts and both granddaughters earned their Gold Awards in Girl Scouting.

Dick loved the outdoors. His interests included fishing, hunting, camping, scuba, cycling (he rode Cycle Oregon several times) and international travel. His favorite hunting dog was a springer spaniel named Simon. He fished all over the world (Mongolia, Argentina, Christmas Island, Brazil, Cuba, Russia and Belize), as well as on the Deschutes, Klickitat and Columbia Rivers and in his pond at the

family vacation home and farm in Trout Lake, Washington. He climbed Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens (before it erupted in 1980), but said “I found neither a trout lake nor a bar at the top,” so he stopped mountain climbing. Dick was famous for “gus-isms” such as “No job is too small to hire out,” “It is always better to stay out of trouble than to get out of trouble” and “you don’t get to pick ’em [family]; you just get to love ’em.”

He is survived by his wife; his sons, Kenneth Edward and Thomas Richard (Katherine Jean Schroeder); his grandchildren, Clara Joyce (Alex Bodaken), Anna Catharina and Peter William Gustafson; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents; his brother, Reginald “Lee” Leland; and twin sister, Diann Evelyn Newstrum.

Erin Fearl Ochsenschlager Benevento Sept. 5, 1967-July 5, 2019 Erin was born in Sands, Michigan, on Sept. 5, 1967, while her father was in the Air Force, stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB. In 1968, the family moved to Philadelphia for three years while Erin’s father finished his medical training. In 1971, the family returned to Oregon, settling in Beaverton.

During junior high at Cedar Park, and then at Sunset High School, Erin gravitated toward competitive gymnastics. She was a key part of the Multnomah Athletic Club squad during the early 1980s. In high school, injuries led her to switch athletic focus to diving. In 1985, as a senior, she won the state high school diving competition. After high school, Erin left drizzly Portland for the University of Arizona in sunny Tucson, where she competed on the diving team. While at U of A, Erin was very active in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

In 1993, Erin married her college sweetheart, Dan Ochsenschlager. They had two children, Morgan and Zach.

In 2014, Erin married Rick Benevento.

Decades earlier, in middle school, Erin and Rick had been part of the same carpool to gymnastics practice at MAC. When they married, they became life partners for what was far too short a time.

Erin is survived by her husband, Rick Benevento; children, Morgan and Zach Ochsenschlager, and stepchildren Gabby and Colton Benevento; Morgan and Zach’s dad, Dan Ochsenschlager; parents, Jim and Darle Fearl; brother, Mike Fearl; aunts and uncles; cousins, nieces, nephews; and too many friends to count.

Michael N. Diamond December 29, 1947 – July 18, 2019 Michael Nicholas Diamond was born in Portland, Oregon, on Dec. 29, 1947, the son of Nicholas and Violet Diamond. He graduated from Madison High School and received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Oregon in political science. He served in the United States Army.

Professionally he was a co-founder and partner in Real Estate Investment Group (REIG), a full-service commercial real estate firm. Mike was involved in all areas of commercial real estate, including land and investment sales, acquisitions, and landlord/tenant representation for office and retail leasing.

In addition to brokerage, Mike was actively involved in the development of new retail, office and multifamily properties, and the renovation and re-purposing of existing buildings in Portland and Lake Oswego.

Mike’s volunteer experience was extensive, as was his list of board service. He was a founding director of Mary’s Woods, and a board member of the American Hellenic Educational Society. He was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, and a life member of the University of Oregon Alumni Association.

Mike was a lifelong devoted member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral.

For many years, he served as the chair of the Endowment Fund and Senior Ministries.

He also served on the Parish Council, the Building Committee and numerous other committees.

Proud of his Greek heritage, Michael was a member of the Hellenic-American Cultural Center & Museum of Oregon and SW Washington and the American Greek Restaurant Owners. He was an active volunteer for the Greek Festival.

Mike especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and traveling.

He loved walking on the beach in Seaside, hiking in Palm Desert, fly fishing in Maupin, working out at the Multnomah Athletic Club and cheering on the Oregon Ducks.

In addition to being a loving husband and devoted father, Mike was a person of impeccable character, great integrity and deep faith.

He was respected and loved by many. Michael will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his wife, Mari Lou; daughters, Nikki John (Anthony) and Chrysi Bucuvalas (Peter); sister, Cathy Owen (Henry); brother, George Diamond (Paula); brother-in-law, George Psihogios (Lisa); mother-in-law, Fifi Psihogios; along with many nieces, nephews and godchildren.

MAC & Lange pull off a peerless pinot

By Jake Ten Pas

M

AC members pride themselves on the one-ofa-kind community they create. Similarly, the club’s culinary team excels at building relationships that benefit the membership by enhancing dining and drinking experiences via exclusive collaborations.

Chefs Philippe Boulot, Phil Oswalt and Deanna Bascom all have brought unique partnerships into the club, resulting in feasts featuring Nicky USA, Gilgamesh Brewing, the Oregon Beef Council, ELA Farms and Pascal Affinage cheesemakers. Bar Manager Roni Pervizi’s co-brew with Kells is on tap at the Sunset Bistro this summer, and in November, he’ll unveil MAC’s newest custom barrel of Maker’s Mark. More to pour on that later in the article.

This month, MAC Food & Beverage Manager Matt Carter taps a barrel of a different kind when 1891 rolls out a robust new take on Lange Estate Winery’s 1891 pinot noir. While the label might look familiar, those in search of new, and nuanced, flavors will find plenty to discover in the fruits of Carter’s most recent collaboration with the Lange family.

Continued from page 23

Time & Place Like the perfect pinot, a beautiful friendship begins when the right ingredients are in the right place at the right time. Take Carter and Lange Winemaker and General Manager Jesse Lange, for example. Sitting across a long wooden table laden with samples of different varietals, the two trade tasting notes that verge on shorthand.

Phrases such as “dark berries,” Freedom Hill,” “bifurcated acids” and “opulent” fly between them. The easy patter has been honed over years of professional association, but it’s clear that personal admiration has grown wild between the rows of vines. Carter was working at Salty’s on the Columbia more than a decade ago when their paths first crossed.

The combination of flavors in Lange’s pinot date a bit further back. “The first 10 growers of pinot grapes in the new world were here in the Willamette Valley in 1963,” Lange says. “The nearest place producing these wines is Burgundy.”

Lange was started in 1987 outside Dundee, and has helped to build Willamette Valley pinot noir into the coveted brand it is today. Jesse says that it’s a combination of environmental factors and people that have made their shared successes possible.

“We live on some of the most unprecedented geological happenings in the Pacific Northwest,” he says, referencing the convergence of latitude, soil and climate present in the Dundee Hills that gives Lange’s pinot noir, pinot gris, and chardonnay their distinct flavors. He’ll even delve into ancient ice dams, and paint pictures of moving walls of water depositing marine sedentary soils among the volcanic and wind-blown soils to create a fertile mix unlike any other in the world.

Picking the Perfect Pinot Before sitting down to taste three very specific results of a meticulous man-made process built atop natural confluence, Jesse Lange and Matt Carter stroll the barrel room, where 60-gallon wooden cylinders stretch into the distance like the top-secret government artifact room at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Full barrels contain tags that tell the content’s story down to the exact patch of earth on which it was harvested.

At the tasting table, Lange explains: “This is why we make 500 wines. It gives us the best possibilities in terms of varietals. Now, how do you put those together to make the very best wine? Some places are trying to make the same wine year after year. Not us.”

“Pinot noir is the most expressive grape on the planet. Anything that has more subtlety is more complex by nature.”

— Jesse Lange Into this place came like-minded seekers of viticultural enlightenment, including his mother, Wendy, and father, Don, a guitarist and singer-songwriter for whom the hills were, and remain, alive with the sound of music. “The Willamette Valley is insanely collaborative,” Jesse says. “We’re collaborative on farming, wine making, and even marketing. This is a region that is more about making high-quality wines than just making wine.”

“Members like them a little bigger,” Carter says of the flavors he’s seeking.

“We’ve got cab drinkers who want their pinots to hit that profile. I like a little darker fruit, dark cherry, and plum skin.

We’re looking for something that everybody’s going to like.”

Lange points out that “Bigger and bolder isn’t necessarily better,” and says the best pinots are “Beautiful, perfumed and ephemeral. Some neurons in the brain take two minutes to regenerate,” he points out. “You literally can’t taste the same wine twice.”

Continued from page 25 “Pinot noir is the most expressive grape on the planet. Anything that has more subtlety is more complex by nature. That’s also what makes it fascinating, compelling, and sometimes maddening.”

Assistant Winemaker Daniel Papa joins the tasting, and begins telling stories of heated debates among the staff over wines.

“You mess up a pinot noir, it’s dead in the water,” he says passionately. “And if it’s not good enough for us to drink, it doesn’t go in. At the end of the day, it’s all about what goes in the bottle.”

On this day, a battle royal isn’t in the cards. Carter comes to a quick decision on the best flavor profile for MAC, and then they sit, savoring the Mt. Jefferson Cuvée.

“We’re trying to make wines that are real, with a real sense of place,” Jesse says, swirling the velvety liquid in his glass. “That’s it,” Carter says.

Back to MAC Members can look forward to tasting what Carter and Lange rave about in 1891 directly, and that’s just one of the proprietary flavors coming down the pipeline.

On the day it was blended, Pervizi perched on the other side of the bar as distillery Diplomat Dave Kearns directed the “game.” Using a system of poker chips and what looked like simplified cribbage boards, the small group of bourbon barons circled an ideal combination of wooden staves to give the barrel a flavor distinctly suited to 1891.

Like Carter, Pervizi balanced his own expertise and preferences with ample experience soaking up member feedback.

The resulting flavor profile will stand up to steaks, stand alone in a tumbler and prop up classic cocktails all with equal aplomb.

The true measure of the sweet, spicy caramel nectar can’t be taken until the barrel is tapped in November, but based on the selected staves, Kearns says it will be one of only two batches ever created by Maker’s with this combination of woods.

In other words, it will be as exceptional as the club that birthed it.

MAC Barrel tasting with Makers Mark Bascom has a beer dinner scheduled for spring that will feature four memberowned breweries, but even sooner, Pervizi will begin pouring from his MAC Barrel, created with representatives of Makers Mark and select ambassadors from the club’s Brown Bottle Society.

Stay tuned for further coverage of the MAC barrel in the November Winged M. Until then, grab the last of the summer’s MAC Hazy IPA, or uncork a bottle of Lange Estate Winery’s 1891 pinot noir.

Cheers! WM

A Family Jewel MAC entrepreneurs quench thirst for reconnecting with the land Club members Steve Hendricks and Flora Habibi established Ruby Vineyard in 2012, but their roots in the Willamette Valley — and those of their winery — run so much deeper. Hendricks’ great-great-grandfather arrived in the Carlton area in 1843, and the first vines at Ruby were planted by the former owners of the land in 1973. Steve sees Ruby as a return to his familial roots, which he hopes will continue to produce so much more than wine.

“We are hoping to create a family business, one that I can pass down to my kids,” he says. “There is something basic and rewarding in getting your hands dirty, and then producing a product that enhances people’s lives.”

Ruby Vineyard released its first commercial vintage in 2015, and in 2016, Hendricks purchased Pinot Noir grapes from Timbale and Thyme Vineyard, situated on the land once owned by his great-great-grandfather. These grapes are used to make the

Hendricks Legacy Pinot Noir, which is decorated by a label bearing the land deed originally granted to his family.

“No other wine grape reflects its place, its terroir, as well as pinot,” Hendricks opines.

“It is the signature variety in Oregon, and it is more relevant than ever because we are starting to see differences between our location, the soon-to-be Laurelwood District, versus Dundee versus Eola Amity.”

In Fall 2016, Ruby opened its tasting room, and this summer began offering a Retreat in the Vines tour and tasting. Both allow visitors to enjoy the scenic views the vineyard offers while sipping wines such as Flora’s Reserve, which Sunset Magazine named one of its Best Wines of 2018.

“Our wines have the lovely fruit from pinot, but also a savory character,” Hendricks says. “Our land has incredible views of Mt. Hood, the vineyard, and the Chehalem ridge, a serene location only a half hour from MAC.”

EVENTS Think Globally, Eat Locally

A Culinary Trip Around the Globe I n many cultures, food brings people together and forms the central part of social occasions. Last year, the Social Activities and 20s/30s Committees hosted the first World Food and Drink Festival — an event that brought members and guests together for an evening of international delicacies and entertainment.

By popular demand, the event returns Friday, Oct. 18, when the Reading Lounge, the Ballroom and 26 Founders are transformed into a multicultural culinary gathering place, featuring food and beverages from Italy, Rwanda, Thailand, Cuba and Norway. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 for members and $45 for guests.

ITALY Italy has no shortage of gastronomical delights, and many of the country’s traditional delicacies have deep roots in family and culture. A typical meal begins with a large plate of antipasti, which is usually vegetables and cured meats, moves onto a variety of pasta, and is followed up by a lighter, simpler protein and side dish.

Everything is finished off with a dolce, meaning sweet, and coffee or a digestivi.

RWANDA Known as the “land of a thousand hills,” Rwanda is a mountainous country where local and easy-to-grow ingredients define the food culture. Meals tend to be simple and include staples such as beans, potatoes, corn, cassava, millet and plantains. Those who live in rural areas rarely eat meat.

THAILAND Thai cuisine varies between different regions of the country, but it can be characterized by both its use of fresh, aromatic spices and ability to combine sweet, salty, sour and bitter flavors into balanced harmony. Rice and noodles are staples, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Traditionally, meals are served “family style” with all dishes placed on the table at the same time and shared by everyone.

28 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2019

NORWAY Much of traditional Norwegian cuisine is a result of preserved, readily-available ingredients that can survive the country’s long winters. Fresh fish, lamb and elk are prominent ingredients in most meals and are traditionally lightly seasoned and simply prepared. Dinner is typically the only hot meal of the day, with breakfast and lunch consisting mostly of cured meat or pickled fish, cheese and bread, or a combination of all three made into an open-faced sandwich.

CUBA Cuban cuisine is a true representation of the country’s history of foreign influences and the melting pot of cultures that call the island home. In addition to Spain’s vast impact on flavors due to its colonization of Cuba, slaves from Africa and French colonists from Haiti also have influenced cooking techniques and spices. Rice, beans and plantains are part of almost every meal, and slow simmering allows muted spices to develop into rich flavors.

Walking & Hiking Speaker Series

Hiking Off the Beaten Trail I ’ve always loved obscure, secret places the most. When I was growing up in Salem, my family and I sought out the far corners of the Opal Creek and Mount Jefferson Wilderness areas for hiking and camping. My parents always gave me the liberty to go and explore on my own, and I would often be gone most of a day, returning to camp in time for dinner.

When I was 16, we moved to Illinois to be closer to family. But Oregon stayed with me, and so I came back in 2005 for postgraduate work at Portland State University.

It didn’t take me long to return to the rivers and mountains I grew up exploring.

After finishing graduate school and moving to France for a year, I came back in the middle of an economic crisis, and found it difficult to find steady employment. I had long collected hiking guidebooks and topographic maps, and I began to seriously explore the remote corners of the wilderness near Portland. I took lots of notes, and even more photos, and researched increasingly remote trails with my wife and friends.

Over time, this research developed into the idea to write a guidebook on remote trails, which I published in 2013. Titled Off the Beaten Trail, it highlights 50 obscure, but beautiful, hikes within a reasonable

day’s drive from Portland. It was truly a pleasure to research and write, and within a year I had started work on a second book.

101 Hikes in the Majestic Mount Jefferson Wilderness, published in 2016, returns to the wilderness areas where I grew up and details virtually every trail near Oregon’s most rugged and remote volcano. It was a labor of love, and I was and remain immensely proud of the finished product.

One of the difficulties I faced while writing 101 Hikes was my inability to do much in the way of research during the winter months. I found myself revisiting the same trails, driving as far as I needed to find new waterfalls, secluded beaches, and by January, as much sun as possible on the eastern end of the Columbia River Gorge. Slowly the idea of writing a hiking guidebook for the winter months came into shape, but I wanted more! So after giving myself time to rest and recover from writing 101 Hikes, I poured my energy into a comprehensive guidebook for the Portland area, which included my favorite hikes from every month of the year. The finished product, PDX Hiking 365, was published in January 2018. After writing three extensive guidebooks in approximately six years, I needed a rest.

How did I rest? By publishing an updated version of my first book, Off the Beaten Trail. Some of my favorite hikes in the first edition had been closed due to forest fires, land-management changes and issues with trail maintenance and road access. Additionally, over the previous several years, I had discovered many new hikes that I felt best belonged in Off the Beaten Trail. As is true with all my books, it is very exciting to see it out in the world and to share it with others, including with MAC members this month. ­­—Matt Reeder Join the Walking & Hiking Committee 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, for Reeder’s presentation of the best fall hikes from Off the Beaten Trail. The event is free. Books will be available for purchase after the talk.

September Is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

E

very September, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies and community members unite to raise awareness around suicide prevention. While there is no single cause of suicide, and no single strategy to prevent all deaths by suicide, there are a variety of ways individuals can better equip themselves to identify warning signs and spread awareness.

On Sunday, Sept. 29, the Multnomah County Health Department hosts a free two-hour Question, Persuade & Refer training for MAC members, ages 18 and older, interested in learning how to recognize when a person may be experiencing thoughts of suicide and how to offer first

aid until more experienced help is available.

Also covered: warning signs, risk factors, common myths about suicide and a threestep suicide prevention first aid action plan.

Participants receive a booklet and wallet card with summary information at the end of the training. Visit themac.com to register. AEC114

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Statistics

Learn How to:

• National suicide rates are highest among men ages 65 and older.

• Recognize the early warning signs of suicide • Ask a person about thoughts of suicide • Persuade a person to get help • Refer a person to help • Offer hope • Get help and save a life

34 | The Wınged M |

Pass It On: Pregnancy and New Parent Support Growing at MAC Wellness and Fitness team up to create space for pre- and postnatal needs

By Jake Ten Pas

P

arenting is a hard job, and those first six months after giving birth might be the most stressful. Pregnancy itself isn’t a cake walk, either. By the nature of their exhausting mission to give life and maintain it, not to mention keep themselves going on little sleep while making seemingly momentous decisions, new moms can be pushed to their limits.

Haven’t heard about MAC’s resources aimed at supporting those who recently became parents? Please forgive word-of-mouth marketing not being foremost in new parents’ minds. Wellness Manager Will Cath and Group Exercise Supervisor Linda Spaulding are joining forces to offer more — and increase awareness of — club resources aimed at these brave souls. This story is for all the moms, dads and grandparents reading The Winged M on a smart phone while bouncing a baby in their other arm!

42 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2019

Bouncing Back “Heather is the heart and soul behind supporting new moms at MAC,” Spaulding says, standing just inside the Athletic Entrance at 10 a.m. on a recent Thursday morning. Next to her, Bounce Back Bootcamp leader Heather Lawes blushes, glancing down at her phone as she awaits texts from incoming moms stuck in traffic.

Spaulding continues: “She’s created a network, something that the club can support and grow.”

One-by-one, the mothers arrive, each bringing with her a stroller holding her very own precious cargo. The first to come bustling in are Sophia Cardwell, with 3-month old Cecila, and Mandy Kavanaugh, accompanied by 17-month-old Carter. The rest of the moms will join them as they climb the hill to Washington Park for a class that is equal parts workout, support group and information exchange.

Resources at a Glance During Pregnancy and Postpartum • Bounce Back Bootcamp • Restorative Yoga • The Ellove’ Technique • Prenatal Massage ($10 off first session) • Warm Water Massage (Watsu)

New Parents • Infant Massage series • Yoga-Core Fundamentals class • Yoga Personal Training • Nutritional counseling for parents and babies • Family Fridays

Infant to 3 years

Kickboxing is one of the many components of Bounce Back Bootcamp.

“What’s so magical about this class is, these moms are in such a special, vulnerable, sleep-deprived place,” Lawes explains.

“For them to have these other moms is really important.”

Lawes started teaching the class after her son was born, and he’s now 13. Over the intervening years, she’s bonded with countless moms through shared experiences and helped to speak up for a community that is often too preoccupied to speak for itself.

On this day, at least two of the moms taking part in Bounce Back proclaim that they haven’t showered in two days, and they’re really looking forward to having a good reason to do so. Lawes watches their strollers while they run stairs and do pushups, discussing the challenges of returning to work and comparing notes on sleep schedules in between exercises.

“Heather is awesome,” says Lauren Robinson, whose 9-month-old son Finn, clearly seconds the sentiment. “I love that we’re all in the same stage of life together.

Another of the moms is pregnant again, and Lawes is careful to tailor the workouts for the varying needs of her group. She’s sensitive to the fact that some women are practically fresh out of the hospital, while others are pushing near-toddlers along in their strollers. “Heather is so good at adjusting for different levels,” Kavanaugh says.

The women also talk about where MAC could improve its offerings for new mothers — and grandmothers, who often take care of babies at the clubs to give moms and dads a much-needed break. The only Nursing Room in the club is located

• Gymnastic Classes • Swimming - Big Fish Little Fish

on the mezzanine level, which isn’t ideal from their perspectives.

• Open Gym

More than one mom reports feeling frustrated at having to leave her baby outside the Women’s Locker Room or in the care of another member when using the restroom inside. Club rules prohibit children from being brought into the space, but new mothers say it can be tough to plan biological need when juggling a newborn, and that there isn’t always empathy for their situation. Another says she sometimes breast-feeds in her car because she doesn’t feel comfortable doing it in the club, which spurs another to blurt out, “I did it in the Sports Pub the other day!”

“We’re all passionate about new moms feeling welcomed,” says Wendy Scott, a recruiting manager for a prominent luxury car maker. “Ultimately, it benefits MAC, too, because they’d be getting new families entrenched in the club’s system.”

Still, for this hour of workout, the feelings of isolation that can come with being a new mom disappear and are replaced by “a beautiful immersion of friendship and learning,” as Lawes puts it. “Nobody knows about this class except by word of mouth, and so many more could benefit from it,” she says. “I love that these moms take time for themselves.”

“Having a baby is life-changing,” says MAC Certified Nutritionist Tysen Christensen, who had her third around the start of the year. “I couldn’t have done it without my friends and family who have kids, and MAC serves as an extended network of friends and family for many members. They say, ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ Well, MAC’s a great village!”

She also points out that social media can make a lot of moms feel like failures because people tend to post about only the positive aspects of their lives, but that interacting with other mothers at the club generally reinforces the similarity of common struggles.

Christensen can help with nutritional counseling for would-be parents working on fertility treatments through the nine months of pregnancy, into the so-called “fourth trimester” of recovery and discovery, and beyond. It’s Spaulding and Cath’s hope that moms and dads will see that multiple departments within the club cater to just as many stages of the parenting journey.

New this month, Cath is excited about massage therapist Nadia Sokolova’s, Infant Massage series, 10-11 a.m. Wednesdays, Sept. 25 through Oct. 14. “Infant massage is about more than just reliving tension,” he says. “It’s about getting into a routine, eating, sleeping and even digestion-related issues.” As with all of MAC’s offerings, his hope is that there will be something for any family member who might jump into help, as well as the moms who, at the end of the day, often end up sweating the details the hardest.

“There are many different ways of looking at pregnancy from a physical, emotional, and mental lens,” he adds.

“We’re doing our best to see them all, and to help them be seen.” WM

Celebrate Being Well

S

even years ago, ultra-runners Willie McBride (pictured right) and Yassine Diboun literally met at the junction of the Wildwood and Wild Cherry trails in Forest Park.

They became friends and then business partners, and founded Wy’east Wolfpack to connect people to the joy of activity through mind, body and spirit.

Regardless of fitness level, anyone can join the Wolfpack because wellness is more than just about physical ability. Their holistic approach to wellness is about filling one’s heart and soul through whatever one chooses to do.

“This celebration is about [Wellness staff] getting to know our members and them getting to know us. It’s also an opportunity for members to see what we have to offer in a casual, fun atmosphere,” says Wellness Manager Will Cath. “My team and I work hard to connect with our members, beyond meeting them in a class,” adds Dietician Tysen Christensen. “We want to know who they are to help provide balance wherever needed.”

R

This year’s MAC Wellness Celebration embraces this same holistic approach. Formerly the Wellness Open House, the event focuses on the services of the Wellness department — going beyond physical classes to cultivate personal relationships.

Members can meet the Wellness team and vendors, enjoy food and cocktails, and listen to motivating presentations to strengthen mind, body and spirit.

evenue from vitamin and nutritional supplement sales in the United States is set to reach $32 billion in 2019. More and more Americans are becoming active participants in their health and wellness.

Consumers are not only looking to feel their best in the present moment, but they are also looking at how to prevent future disease. This may come as a shock to some, but as a naturopath, I believe many people are wasting their time and money on a regimen of vitamins and supplements that have little benefit. That said, there are some supplements that have been well researched and are worth the investment.

Turmeric is a known anti-inflammatory with multiple beneficial properties.

Chronic inflammation is at the heart of numerous disease processes and chronic pain. I don’t believe that turmeric alone will cure disease, but what if consuming turmeric daily can be part of a preventative plan for health and wellness, along with exercise, nutrition, sleep and techniques to decrease stress?

Instead of adding to the supplement industry’s bottom line, try incorporating turmeric into your daily nutrition. I put one teaspoon of turmeric in my smoothie every morning. Try adding the herb to soups, stews or sautéed vegetables too.

Mindfulness: A Mental Life Hack

S

canning the internet or talking to friends yields hundreds of life hacks — tools and techniques to help us live more productive, efficient and happier lives. We’re really good at coming up with tricks and shortcuts to help us organize, manage work and home life, and generally make life better in a practical sense. (And who knew there were so many uses for binder clips and baking soda?) But what if we spent even a little of that energy improving our mental skills? If we sharpened our focus, organized our thinking, and learned to cope better with stress, life might be more manageable.

Mindfulness can be defined as paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It is both a mental skill, the ability to focus your attention, and an attitude, paying attention in an open-minded, patient and curious way. It may be an important key to “hacking the brain” to improve our lives.

Mindfulness has been shown to help sharpen attention, increase resiliency to stress and compassion, improve mental health and the ability to navigate conflict in relationships, and even enhance aspects of physical health such as immune-system functioning. Being mindful is something everyone has the natural ability to do. But it takes regular practice.

MAC Basketball engages every player

By Jake Ten Pas

Kevin McShane and Vicente Harrison; McShane on the court with Ryan Fraser

“I

n theory, you can play basketball from age 4 to age 74!,” says Dan Baggett, MAC’s basketball manager and head coach.

“It’s truly a lifetime sport, and there’s a place for everybody here at the club.”

The subjects of this story certainly back up Baggett’s assertion, ranging in age from single digits to 60-plus. Despite their differences in age, all of them love the game and seem grateful for the opportunities MAC’s competitive basketball program offers.

With tryouts coming up this month for juniors and in October for adults, basketball season is barreling down the court toward potential players like LaMarcus Aldridge driving toward the hoop.

With that in mind, members of the junior boys and girls teams, coaches, and MAC’s most-seasoned shooting forward, all put the ball down long enough to talk about the benefits of basketball on and off the court.

Building Better Human Beings One thing MAC kids never lack for is role models. Ask any club coach, and you will invariably hear that they’re not just teaching their players the game, they’re giving them life skills.

“We’re teaching about internal skills and external skills of how to work with a teammate, whether you like them or not; how to set goals; how to be ambitious; how to deal with adversity; and how to come back,” says junior boys hoops coach Vicente Harrison.

“No matter what job you have, no matter what teammates, family, car, clothes, whatever you got, if you put your best foot forward in everything you do and you remember that everything is important, even how you tie your shoes, you’re more likely to succeed,” says fellow coach Kevin McShane.

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

Both coaches are coming off impressive seasons where they saw their teams pass the 20-victory mark. McShane’s Sixth Grade Black crew went 21 and 10, and over the past two seasons, Harrison’s Fifth Grade Black squad racked up the insane tally of 55-6.

“A 20-win season for any coach in the nation is like, you’re getting a bonus and a contract extension,” Harrison says, smiling.

“That’s just the bottom line. In the NCAA, that’s the goal. You get to the tournament with 20 wins in some good competition.

Kevin has demonstrated that, and that has been my goal every year. Let’s win 20 games, guys.

“For us, the bonus is seeing these guys celebrate, and that bonus is them getting those medals around their necks. It all comes down to that time when they can actually celebrate their accomplishments.

That’s it for me.”

Harrison and McShane both say their teams take time out at tournaments to cheer on their fellow MAC players. “We’re kind of being the coaches that we wanted when we were younger. It’s about building family and continuity, and helping everyone come together and give back,”

McShane says. “I get such a rush off seeing these kids work their butts off and execute the things we talk about.”

Two of those kids are seventh grader Ryan Fraser and fifth grader Vicente Harrison II, who goes by Penny. Both have been instrumental not just in their teams’ successes, but also in establishing a commitment to hard work and team spirit among their fellow players.

In one game last season, Harrison’s team was down by 19 points, and Penny hit two three pointers in a herculean effort by everyone involved to snag the triumph.

“On my shot, my dad tells me to always step in and keep my hand up, and that’s really helped me,” Penny says. “That’s why I make most of my shots when I follow through. Sometimes I don’t and I miss, but I’ve learned to come right back and do it again. I’ve got to keep reaching for those cookies in the cookie jar.”

“When we were down 19, he was eating humble pie because the other team was on fire and he had a quick little guard that he had to get a handle on,” Harrison recalls.

“It took him a little while, but that night was important because it wasn’t an easy

victory. I had to really separate my roles as dad and coach. We made a decision as a partnership that I’m a coach in the gym, but as soon as we leave, I’m a dad.”

“I really respect these two, because growing up I had the same thing with my dad,” McShane comments. “Now, I’m the coach, and my dad’s one of my assistants. I get to watch him coach these guys, instilling the same lessons that he taught me more than 20 years ago.”

While McShane and Fraser aren’t related by blood, it’s clear that they share a fierce player-coach bond. “Coach Kevin and his dad, Bill, help me a lot with my consistency and getting more arch on my shot,” Fraser says. “I just like to compete a lot, and I think last year was my breakout year. With coach’s help, that was an amazing year for me.”

“Ryan is one of the most hardworking and determined humans I have ever met,” McShane adds. “There’s a phrase I got from a friend and fellow coach, ‘Fatigue makes cowards of us all.’ I’ve seen Ryan work himself to where his feet and hands are hurting, and he’s like, “Coach, I’m tired Continued on page 54

Continued from page 53 but I don’t want to stop working.’ There is zero cowardice in this young man.”

“I think we’re at a fortunate time when we just really have a passionate group of guys who want to take on the challenge of raising us to the next level,” Harrison says.

“Over the past three years, teams really tighten up their shoe laces when they see they’re playing against MAC. They know it’s not going to be an easy victory, and it’s going to be some real competition.”

Nothing But a Number In 2019, ask a pair of 12-year-old Portlanders who inspired them to start playing basketball, and you expect to hear names like Lebron James, Damian Lillard or even Sue Bird. The name you don’t necessarily anticipate is Michael Jordan.

But that’s exactly the response lifelong members Clara Conrad and Lindsey La Chance give. “I look up to him,” Conrad says. “He’s like the basketball king!”

To be fair, James is the next name out of their mouths, and when pressed, they say that he, too, not only showed them how to play the game, but made them want to try out. Conrad and La Chance have been teammates for the past six years, starting out in the Catholic Youth Organization League before bringing their games to MAC. “We’d been playing basketball for CYO for a long time, and we loved it so much because our coach was very good and he

54 | The Wınged M |

worked us,” La Chance says. “He suggested that we play for MAC. It just looked like a really good program, with strong competition.”

Under the guidance of Coach Breezy, aka Brianna Rinehart, Conrad and La Chance both say that they’ve not only gotten better as players, but that they’ve also learned the value of teamwork. “When you’re shooting a free throw, someone is always cheering you on,” Conrad says. “Whether you make it or miss it, they give you a high five!”

“We like cheers, and we like to cheer,” La Chance says. “That just builds the other person’s confidence.” “We’re supporting each other,” Conrad adds.

Contrary to her nickname, both players say Coach Breezy is anything but easy on them, and keeps the whole team on its toes. “Our coach likes to switch us up a lot of the time, so we play different positions,” La Chance explains. “She’s a very good coach and she works us hard.”

“I wasn’t very good at defense, and Breezy and the MAC team helped me kind of work on the way I was supposed to be positioned,” Conrad says. “I got a lot better!”

SEPTEMBER 2019

La Chance says her shooting has improved since she started playing for Rinehart. “She’s constantly trying to make us better, through drills, running and shooting. And if we’re not paying attention, we’ll start paying attention when we have to run.”

Both agree that their commitment to winning and ability to persevere when losing have intensified while playing in the club’s program. “I work my hardest during every tryout and every practice,” Conrad says. “I play really hard because I want to show that I’m a good basketball player, that I’m a good listener. I want my teammates and coaches to know how much I care.”

Platinum Bond Mark Carver is a statistical anomaly. In his mid-60s, he’s still a fierce competitor, a leading light of MAC’s competitive basketball community athletically and socially, and a huge Jethro Tull fan. Not that that last point necessarily helps his performance on the court, but fans of progressive, fluteled rock and roll aren’t always known for their feats of physical prowess.

Giving off a bit of a Bill Walton vibe, but looking more like Ted Danson, Carver will just as easily talk about his interest in playing guitar - or his joy at getting to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when competitive league play took his crew to Cleveland – as he will about his lifelong love of basketball.

“I just love representing the club on a national basis, and it’s the friendships I’ve developed over 34 years, and the places we’ve visited with players of all ages, that makes this such a blast,” he says.

“Traveling as a basketball community, being able to spend Thursday through Sunday playing the game we love, and having the bond that we have on the road is just priceless.”

56 | The Wınged M |

“Plus, I’ve helped raise three successful kids. I’ve stayed married to the same wonderful girl for 36 years. That’s probably what I’m most proud of is being able to do all of this, and maintain that balance.”

When Carver says, “all of this,” he’s referring to a string of Master’s Championships at every level of MAC competition, and so much more. He’s been playing basketball since high school, when he was cut from his freshman team, but rebounded to make varsity later in his career at McNary in Salem. After graduating, he went down to University of Oregon, where he knocked on coach Dick Harter’s door and said, “I just want to let you know that I want to try to walk on and make that freshman team.” He ended up playing a couple of years at the DivisionOne level. “Being part of that was a great, great honor. It helped solidify my love for the game,” he recalls.

As for the longevity of participation that grew from that base, Carver initially credits good genes, while admitting that, “None of us are pain free. We’re playing through it

all the time.” He says that MAC helps with staying in the kind of shape required to maintain a competitive edge, and that most of his teammates cross-train and otherwise make use of the club’s facilities in the pursuit of optimal performance. “We try to get ourselves in shape so we don’t get hurt when we’re playing hard. Some guys play tennis, and some even get personal trainers who help them work through injuries.”

If some discomfort is the price of a lifetime of friendship, teamwork and travel, Carver is glad to pay it. “I’m overwhelmed with gratefulness to have an outlet for the game I love, the camaraderie of our friends and teammates that we developed over the years, and the cross-pollination of ages playing and traveling together,” Carver says. “It’s so fun to be able to play all these years with some really great individuals, humans and players. I kind of have to pinch myself.” WM

ATHLETICS Climbing Team Shines on Competitive Stage Passion and community are keys to success

E

stablished in 2008, MAC’s competitive climbing program is one of the most renowned in the country.

Over the past seven years, MAC has won multiple state and divisional championships and has placed nationally as a top-15 team, with six athletes receiving invitations to the USA Youth National Team. This year, MAC was crowned regional team champion in all three disciplines (Sport, Speed and Bouldering) and ranked nationally for the seventh straight year — 13th in Bouldering and 14th in Sport and Speed climbing.

Accomplishments are great to showcase in the MAC Scoreboard, and are often an indicator of the hard work athletes and coaches put in day to day. But the highest accolade that many do not see is related to program retention. Sixteen seniors graduated from the team over the past four years; many were founding members. Each graduate has a different story, but all share a consistent theme: They joined a competitive team and found a community of friends who became family. The program strives to triple the number of graduating seniors over the next three years.

This year’s graduating seniors, Tori Siegel, Lauren Smith and Lucien Rochelois, were instrumental in the development of

(above): Climbing Team at 2019 national Sport and Speed competition; (below): Lucien Rochelois, Tori Siegel and Lauren Smith with coach Drew White. the climbing program to be one of the best in the country. Siegel joined the team 10 years ago, and developed into a pivotal leader over the past two years. As team captain, she has given back to a community

that helped her become one of the most successful female climbers in the club’s history. In her career, Siegel has accomplished a number of MAC firsts: first female crowned state champion in all three disciplines, first female to advance to finals at Youth Nationals in all three disciplines, and more national invitations than any other female in MAC history.

To grow and become a competitive team, renovations to the climbing gym were necessary. In 2014, gym upgrades proved to be a pivotal moment for the program. Smith’s family had joined the club years before, but available facilities kept her at Portland Rock Gym until the upgrades were complete. While at MAC, Smith worked hard to make the finals in the Speed discipline at the 2015 Youth Nationals. She advanced to the finals two years in a row in Bouldering, becoming the only female to accomplish this to date.

These two young women became a huge one-two punch for the MAC Climbing Team as they evolved from rivals, to teammates, to great friends. Smith and Siegel competed at the 2019 Youth Nationals, and both advanced to semifinals, placing in the top 20 females in the country.

Rochelois discovered climbing at age 13, which is a bit older than most climbers. He needed to develop as an athlete before he could become a competitive climber. This process took several years, but through hard work and coaching, he’s become one of the best climbers in the state. This year, he had the best performance of his career. He not only won the Speed climbing category at the state level and became regional champion, but he also advanced to divisional finals in both Sport and Speed for the first time.

As climbing gains momentum to become an Olympic level sport, MAC’s youth climbing team continues to work to remain prominent. The key to success is not in the training, but rather the community that training builds. Pairing passion for a sport with lifelong friendships? That’s a recipe for success.

ATHLETICS Portland Bridge Swim Draws Competitors From Around the Country, and MAC

E

ach July, swimmers from across the United States flock to Portland for one of the best open-water swimming events in the country. The Portland Bridge Swim, an 11-mile race through the middle of Portland via the Willamette River, was founded in 2011 by passionate open-water swimmer Marisa Frieder. Since 2018, the Bridge Swim has been the national championship for the US Masters Swimming ultramarathon distance.

Competitors race from the Sellwood Bridge to the finish line at Cathedral Park, passing below 12 of Portland’s iconic bridges. Most participants complete all 11 miles as a solo swim, but there is also a three-person relay division, broken into a 3-mile segment and two 4-mile segments.

MAC members and employees alike have competed in the swim as it continues to gain traction in the Masters Open Water Swimming community.

In 2015, former MAC Aquatics Supervisor Michael Wheeler joined a relay team and loved the experience so much that in 2016 he completed the swim by himself, finishing first in his age group and sixth overall out of a field of more than 40 swimmers. “I did the solo swim to prove

to myself I could do it. Swimming 11 miles at one time is more mental strength than physical strength. When I crossed the finish line, I was immensely proud of accomplishing something that most everyone told me I was crazy to even try,” said Wheeler.

In 2017, he was joined by two current MAC employees: Swim School Coordinator Hannah Siemens and Swim Coach Alex Johnson. Together their relay team finished first in the Wetsuit Relay division and third overall, repeating those same results in 2019 in a field of more than 100 contenders.

Other notable MAC member competitors have included Swim Committee member Scot Sullivan (who finished second in his age group in 2019), Damon Anastas (who has competed solo three years in a row), and Lori Blain, George Dingledein and Eric Meier, who competed as a relay team in 2018 and finished third.

The Bridge Swim is both a fantastic reminder of the abundant swimming resources available to us in the Pacific Northwest, as well as an event that helps raise awareness about the cleanliness and diverse usability of the Willamette.

Swimmers Excel at Summer Meets

I

n early July, MAC swimmers travelled the I-84 wagon trail to Pendleton and were rewarded with great swims (nearly 75 percent had personal-best times), sunny weather, excellent food, collectable pins and memories of a wonderful meet. Kate Jenne and Camille Hawkes each earned their first A times, qualifying to compete in the Oregon State Championships — Jenne in the 200meter Butterfly and Hawkes in the 400-meter Freestyle.

Way to go, MAC!

MAC Master Swimmers: Rewriting the Record Books

T

he MAC Masters Swim Team had banner spring and summer seasons, characterized by hard work, camaraderie and competition. While most of the work and fun happens in the subbasement 50-meter Pool, the team gets out from time to time to compete on state-wide and national stages. Two major events headlined this season: U.S. Masters Swimming Nationals held in Mesa, Arizona, in April, and the Oregon Masters Swimming (OMS) Associations championships in Tualatin in May. MAC sent 10 hardy swimmers to compete on the Oregon Masters Regional Team, which placed third overall. MAC swimmers won nine national titles, and Margaret Toppel led the charge with six individual titles in the sprint events.

In May, the team turned its attention to the OMS Association Championships, where recent allies from nationals competed for Oregon honors. Coach Brad Bachulis led MAC’s 18 swimmers to victory in the Medium Team Division and the club’s eighth consecutive title. At the awards banquet, the team won three of four

categories honoring outstanding swimmers.

Jessica Stacy and Kurt Grote each won the under-50 category, and Margaret Toppel took the over-50 category.

The MAC Masters Team is a welcoming community open to swimmers of all levels and devoted to lifelong fun and fitness The MAC Masters have rewritten the record books in 2019 with more than 40 records falling by July. Jill Marie Asch, Jim Bigler, Kurt Grote, Lex Higlett, Shane Hubbell, Dan Jorgensen, Mike Peyton, Scot Sullivan, Margaret Toppel, Brent Washburne and Meredith Weisshaar are each responsible for upgrading at least one record in their age groups this year. For the full view of the team’s best performances, check out the record board on the wall next to the 50-meter Pool.

Over the summer, the team competed in a series of regional open-water events. Scot

SEPTEMBER 2019

Sullivan finished third overall in the grueling 11-mile Portland Bridge Swim, which passes under 12 bridges from Sellwood Riverfront Park to Cathedral Park (See story on page 60). George Dingeldein, Shane Hubbell and Scot Sullivan competed in the Fat Salmon Open Water race at Lake Washington, where the winner takes home a big, fat salmon. Sadly, the MAC team placed just short of deliciousness. And a group competed in the Cascade Lakes Swim Series and Festival at Elk Lake, which typically consists of equal parts vigorous lake swimming and lounging in inner tubes.

The MAC Masters Team is a welcoming community open to swimmers of all levels and devoted to lifelong fun and fitness, in addition to friendly competition. During practice, lanes accommodate swimmers of all levels from beginners (able to swim a one-hour workout) to former elites.

ATHLETICS Things to Consider Before Joining a MAC Team

M

AC gives junior members access to multiple recreational sports on a weekly basis: rock climbing on Monday, swimming on Tuesday and playing pickup basketball on Wednesday, to name just a few. But when it’s time to get serious about a sport, many juniors decide to try to join a club team.

Each club sports team takes its program very seriously, and coaches expect that all participants are 100 percent dedicated once they sign up. Before deciding to tryout or get evaluated to join a MAC sport program, athletes (and their parents) should make note of practice times and competition event dates. Some program dates conflict, and juniors may not be able to participate in two competitive programs during the same season.

More Opportunities to Play Volleyball

F

all volleyball clinics are a great way for junior players to get ready for MAC’s club season tryouts in November, or supplement middle, high school or CYO team fall seasons.

Evening Train and Play Sunday Clinics begin Sept. 8, and run weekly for two months. Each week, MAC jrs club coaches break down key skills and put them back together through game play.

The cost is $92 for four sessions. See the Fall Class Guide (available online and in the August issue of The Winged M) for registration codes.

ATHLETICS

Gary Smith and Mark Jansa play on the outdoor pickleball court against Jeff Malzahn and Valerie O’Brien.

Pickleball for All Seasons

O

ne of the most enjoyable qualities of pickleball is that it can be played both inside and outside. Playing pickleball outside on tennis or hard courts, rather than in an indoor gymnasium, is a completely different, beautiful experience. Take advantage of Pacific Northwest summers for outdoor play, and then move indoors once the weather changes. That’s year-round pickleball!

There is a learning curve when adjusting from one playing environment to another. What’s important is feeling comfortable playing indoors and outside. Enjoy the opportunities to play in different conditions. Look up local neighborhood outdoor courts, or head to MAC’s outdoor court just beyond Tennis Courts 5-7 in the Parking Structure. Reserve the outdoor court online on the Pickleball page of themac.com.

Regardless of location preference, any pickleball player who wants to improve should learn to play in both situations, as each game is slightly different.

Key factors to take into account on any court surface Warm up: It is common to see pickleball players arrive at a court and start playing immediately. Take at least 10 minutes to warm up before games. It is a small time investment that could prevent injury. Use dynamic stretching to get the body moving and limber.

Proper footwear: Do not play in running shoes, walking or hiking boots. Invest in a good pair of shoes with natural gum rubber soles for indoor courts and tennis shoes for outdoor courts.

66 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2019

Weather: Wind is usually the biggest challenge to overcome when playing outside, so adjust shots accordingly. Take note of which way the wind is blowing before beginning play. If it’s a tailwind, it is easy to hit shots long and beyond the baseline. A crosswind can be equally tricky. It’s important to tweak the strength of swings when playing with or against the wind and be particularly careful when using lob shots. Sunlight is also a challenge. When a ball is in the glare it’s always a safe bet to let it bounce, or in doubles, let your partner take the shot. Inside, be mindful of other environmental challenges such as low ceilings, walls, on-court noise and basketball hoops.

Ball: There are clear-cut differences between outdoor and indoor pickleballs, and most manufacturers make both variations. Balls designed for outside are heavier with harder plastic and smaller holes. These features allow for increased durability, wind resistance and bounce. In contrast, indoor balls have softer and lighter plastic with larger holes to provide more accurate shots and a better bounce on indoor surfaces. When choosing where to play, be sure to use the pickleball designed for that location to maximize performance. Pickleballs are for sale at Mporium, online or at any major sporting goods store.

Surface: One reason pickleballs are designed differently for indoor and outdoor locations is the playing surface. When playing outside, the ball tends to bounce lower and move faster. Players should be ready to react quickly, and bend knees to get a good angle on returns. When inside, be prepared for a slower-moving ball that creates longer rallies and shots that travel farther due to lack of wind and a smoother surface.

ATHLETICS New Spin Bikes Take Training to a New Level

S

ay hello to the newest spin bike at the MAC — the Stages SC 1 with Console. What makes this spin bike unique is the use of the same premiere power measurement tools used by the world’s elite cyclists. Riders have the ability to download a workout via their own USB drive and can record and track every spin-bike exercise session accurately.

By tracking watts — the amount of power produced while training — riders can measure their efforts and compare them to others’.

Keeping track of individual effort is possible with the Stages bike.

It’s your journey.

Cyclists might wonder: “Did I work harder today than last week? Am I improving my conditioning? Am I working too hard?” Keeping track of individual effort is possible with the Stages bike, which measure torque and cadence to calculate the power each rider produces. Over time, if cadence is increased at a certain resistance, or resistance is increased while keeping the same cadence, measured power will increase.

Don’t have time for a spin class, or need to ride indoors due to weather? Stages bike riders can compare or tailor their workouts to fit their road bike.

Look for the Stages bike in the Exercise and Conditioning Room. Members can request assistance from the E&C instructors or at the center desk.

Tennis Community Building Something that sets MAC Tennis apart from other local tennis clubs, besides a decadeslong winning tradition, is the extraordinary players who are consistently giving back to the MAC Tennis community and beyond. Several times a week, over a period of many years, Al Laney and Martin Schwartz have put together foursomes for men’s tennis during the day. Bob Howard, another key organizer of this group, also regularly volunteers with the Portland Afterschool Tennis and Education Program in North Portland. Their time and extra efforts have helped make MAC Tennis a better place to play.

Tennis Timing Rules Reminders Help keep it fun for everyone MAC Tennis wants all of its members to have the best possible time on the courts.

With that in mind, please take a moment to read through the timing rules posted in the Resources section of the Tennis page on themac.com.

Rules cover the following: warm-up times, equipment change, broken string, medical timeout, bathroom breaks, stalling, bleeding and lateness

SEPTEMBER 2019

The return of serve is perhaps the second-most important shot in tennis. Like the serve, it is needed to start the point. It allows a player to respond to an opponent’s serve and gets the ball into play.

Since the return of serve is a transition shot, the direction of the ball should not be changed.

In fact, the harder the serve coming at you, the larger the target that’s needed for the return.

Good returns take the ball early with a short backswing, returning the ball back in the direction it came.

On a flat, hard first serve, it is best for the stroke to flow in a low to high arc. This allows the racquet to hit along the plane of the ball and lift it to clear the net. On a high kicking serve, it is good to get your hands up higher (to the level of the ball) and bring the ball back down into the court.

When receiving a second serve, move to a more aggressive position on the court. Take a couple steps up and get ready to attack the ball with a bigger groundstroke.

Remember, a weak second serve is the first short ball hit in a point. Try to take advantage of it. Find a partner willing to serve to you. You’ll be glad you did.

—Coach Waldemar Holowetzki

On June 20, 1970, Dave and his brother, John, walked east from Waseca, Minnesota, with a pack mule named Willie Makeit. Dave walked back into Waseca from the west on Oct. 5, 1974, having traveled 14,540 miles, crossing four continents and 13 countries. Tragically, his brother was killed by bandits in Afghanistan.

O

ne of MAC Racquetball’s greatest successes is the participation and community built around the intramural racquetball program. During each of the three seasons (fall, winter, spring) 120140 members sign-up for nine matches against opponents of their same skill level and gather on Thursday evenings to play, socialize and sip beer and wine.

Those who don’t sign up for fall intramurals by Labor Day can sign up by Dec. 1 and reserve a place in the winter season, which runs from early December to the end of February. High participation numbers in winter intramurals both benefits players on the court, with robust and competitive draws, and off the court, providing more opportunities to meet more people.

The racquetball community works hard to help new players feel at home in its corner of the subbasement. Eric Wieland, who began playing less than two years ago, recalled that during his first intramural evening, a longtime member asked if he’d like to hit the ball around. She gave pointers on ways to improve his game and, most importantly, ensured that he felt supported if he had questions about the rules, intramural logistics, or anything else racquetball-related. Not only has Wieland continued to play racquetball, but he has found such enjoyment from the program that he is now part the Racquetball Committee. Thanks to his suggestion, the fall intramural season is debuting an Intramural FAQ document to be shared with all new players.

Miriam Wainwright first picked up a racquet two years ago during the winter season. She quickly found multiple opponents with whom she had competitive games, and she regularly scheduled pick-up games with players at her level. Despite an initial hesitancy toward a totally new sport with new people, she was reassured by the willingness of others (especially the more experienced players) to join her on the court and provide coaching. “People really wanted to see me get better, and were willing to take it upon themselves to help make that happen. Ultimately everyone is here to get a good workout and have fun.”

Such new-player experiences are not unique at MAC. This year’s club championship tournament included seven participants who began playing racquetball within the last two years.

To learn more about the program, sign up to play, or request a copy of the Intramural FAQ, please contact MAC Racquetball Committee Chair Georgette Blomquist (georgette.blomquist@gmail. com) or Racquetball Pro Hank Marcus (racquetball@themac.com).

Return to Life: Return to Pilates!

J

oseph Pilates published his book Return to Life in 1945. He had been teaching his work, which he called Contrology, for more than 20 years in New York City, working with dancers, professional athletes and ordinary citizens who happened upon his studio before Pilates became as widely recognized as it is today. Pilates, in all of its interpretations, has now spread across the globe and is recognized as one of the driving forces of the mind-body movement.

MAC offers a variety of Pilates mat classes for all levels and also has a variety of equipment-based classes available with Pilates personal trainers. Equipment classes using the Pilates Reformer require at least three private sessions before joining a group class. Reformer classes, limited to six members, use spring-based equipment to target the core, as well as lengthen and elongate muscles throughout the body.

This spring, the club lost one of its longtime instructors: Gina Frabotta, who moved back to Ohio, and Erin Zintek returned to the Midwest in mid-July. However, there are now two new instructors, Ishbel Cavaleri and Blane Ashby, who both come with years of teaching experience.

Fall Fitness Classes Full-Body Workout 7 a.m. Tuesdays and 11 a.m. Wednesdays Sept. 3-Dec. 18, Team Training Room MAC Personal Trainer Molly Sparkman brings her group-training expertise to this creative and challenging class. The Full-Body Workout incorporates cardio and strength training to create a high-calorie burn and full-body fatigue in 60 minutes. No registration necessary. $25 per session.

Sparkman, who joined MAC in 2005, is a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), is TRX certified, and is a certified group exercise instructor. For more information, please contact her at msparkman@themac.com or 503-517-7537 ext. 1851.

“I

t was one of the hardest races I’ve ever done.” That’s how MAC athlete and Member Coach Lauren Binder described her seventh win at the Aquabike World Championships in Pontevedra, Spain, this May. A seasoned competitor, Binder began her athletic career as an elite marathoner, with her best time a stunning 2 hours, 33 minutes at the 1985 Houston marathon.

She added swimming and cycling to her repertoire to achieve further multisport success at the national and international levels, including four age-group world championship gold medals. She recently was nominated for the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame — one of her bucket-list items!

This year’s 72-mile bike course delivered a daunting 6,000-foot elevation gain, and the challenges of swimming in the Leve River included 50-degree water temperatures. The swim was shortened from three kilometers to 1,500 meters after

athletes were assisted out of the water in peril at other events earlier in the week.

“I had practiced swims throughout the week, and I was pretty concerned about the strong current and cold water,” she recalled. “But treading water before the race started seemed a ‘freezing eternity.’”

After 34 minutes battling currents with long, strong strokes, the bicycle leg was upon her. Despite having difficulty warming up, Binder took to the road shaking from cold, still competitive as ever.

She crossed the finish line in just over 5 hours, 19 minutes. “I felt I had truly given it my all, physically and emotionally.

Tears flowed from my eyes and I was smiling, no matter what place I finished in.”

Men enjoy beer at the 1898 Low Jinks event.

High Jinks Were Demise of Low Jinks L

ow Jinks served as an annual outdoor social event for adult male members, hosted off and on at locations in or near Portland through 1922. Pressure from the Board of Trustees to end the event due to multiple incidents of rowdy behavior led to its permanent cancellation. —Luke Sprunger, club archivist

Nancy Bryant President Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation Council of Trustees Past co-chair We Love That! campaign Providence Heart Institute What’s your background?

I grew up in a close-knit family in a small Missouri town. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Eastern Michigan University. Until my children were born, I worked in public relations.

After that, I used my PR skills to volunteer in education and health care.

Tell us about your family.

I’ve been married for 46 years to Andy Bryant, who is a lifetime trustee of the board of Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation. We have two children and four grandchildren.

Why Providence?

I’ve always believed you need to support the communities you’re a part of with your time and financial resources. We get a lot from them, so we need to give back to them. When choosing where to spend time, it’s important to work with an organization that does a great job and whose work is essential to the community’s well-being.

For more information, visit: ProvidenceFoundations.org/bwball

Why does philanthropy matter?

Philanthropy funds Providence’s medical advances, many of which are world renowned. It also pays for important programs and services that benefit the entire community, and it means we can purchase the latest life-saving medical equipment. Providence really cares about everyone in our community, no matter what their resources may be. Their integrity is through the roof.

How could I not be excited about getting involved with an organization that helps make all this happen?

What’s one project you’re working on now?

We’re excited to partner again with Portland Thorns FC and Portland Timbers for our second annual Black & White Ball on Sept. 12 to benefit Providence Heart Institute. This unique, fun-filled event will be held outdoors on the field of Providence Park and supports a variety of services needed by heart patients and their families.
