hope everyone’s had a great summer — spending time outdoors, hitting the beach and the golf course, taking family vacations, and enjoying the wide range of summer camps MAC offered. I want to thank the staff who Grant Yoshihara planned and delivered PRESIDENT all the camps. Their enthusiasm meant the kids had a fun, memorable experience, while burning off a lot of youthful energy!

Summer’s also been a good time for members to enjoy the Sunset Bistro, which has had a very busy season. As we end our fourth year of offering expanded outdoor services, it’s apparent that members and their guests are enjoying the outdoor dining option, despite some very hot days. There is still time to enjoy the Bistro before it closes at the end of September.

The approach of fall means many students are heading off to college. In August, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation held a celebration for students who’ve received MAF scholarships, which will allow them to expand their academic horizons. I want to thank everyone who provides financial support for this important effort investing in our future as a society. When I meet students at these kinds of events, I become more convinced that the future looks bright.

Website Rollout This month we plan to go live with a redesigned website. As many of you are aware, an attempt a couple years ago did not go well, and the Club had to return to using its preexisting website. The development of this new website has been a challenging project, but our new Marketing Communications and Technology teams have worked together to move this important project forward.

They also have been strongly supported by both our Communications and Technology Advisory committees, and we expect a very

successful launch. The new website will include improvements that are focused on ease of use. The trustees had the opportunity to participate in the testing of the new website, and we are encouraged that it will further enhance the member experience.

Staying Busy The Board of Trustees, the Executive Leadership Team and our committees also have been very busy this summer. A few items of possible interest: Last year we revised the budgeting process by separating the timing of capital and operating budget activity to plan better and avoid a heavy workload in the fall. The Budget and Finance Committee worked closely with the Property Committee and others with capital needs, and we have finalized a 2019 capital budget. We soon will begin to work with staff on the operating budget for the next calendar year. This will be a difficult task given the ongoing impact of the mandatory minimum wage increase, changes in health care and insurance costs, and the continuing effect of bond measures on our property taxes. Development of the operating budget will determine our monthly dues for the next calendar year.

The Ad Hoc Strategic Survey Committee is moving forward with gathering additional information on member interests via an online survey and focus groups. This is designed to support refinement of long-term plans that will ensure our programs and facilities continue to meet member needs while staying relevant to attracting future members. The Ad Hoc Transportation Committee has been working on a process to investigate parking management options for improving access to MAC for members.

The Arts Subcommittee has recently completed an inventory of the art that enhances the MAC and developed an online “art gallery” that makes it easy for members to view our large collection (read more about it on page 30). The Membership and Diversity Admissions Committees have worked together to enhance the on-boarding experience for becoming a new MAC member.

It has been a busy summer!

odak and Fuji had the corner on the film market and led the industry until the mid-1990s, when digital photography became prominent and left Kodak in ruins.

The United States Post Office is less relevant than it once Norm Rich was because of Fed GENERAL MANAGER Ex, UPS, email and electronic bill paying.

Retail stores continue to take financial hits from mega online retailers that can deliver goods less expensively and with increasing speed. These are just a few examples of companies that seemed untouchable and went about their businesses without looking over their shoulders, or feeling threatened.

The MAC is relevant today and has been so for the past 128 years, but as we begin planning for our future through our strategic plan, I must help ensure we remain relevant and an industry leader, and don’t get caught flat-footed or surprised. This is an awesome responsibility, one which I take extremely seriously. As I take on this challenge, I partner with the Board and committees, receive member input, and look to consultants to help us make meaningful decisions and progress.

You might wonder what 36 hours on a general manager’s calendar looks like, and how my work is meaningful to me, my team, MAC members and staff.

Follow Me Around the Club Beginning mid-day on a Wednesday this summer, I met with our Board Officers class and our strategic planning consultants to plan how to best create a partnership between trustees and our Executive Leadership Team.

Immediately after, I met with strategic consultants and the Executive Leadership Team to continue working on defining our roles and responsibilities and building trust. I then attended the monthly Board meeting, where I represented staff directors and interacted with trustees to confirm policy and make decisions benefiting our members and staff.

The next morning was the Executive Leadership Team’s weekly meeting, which included a focus on how to better service

our members and staff. There are at least 50 different businesses within MAC. Managing and balancing them, while ensuring members and staff get the best services possible, is difficult. Our Executive Leadership Team has gone through a tremendous amount of change over the past 20 months. Our last change took place in early July with the arrival of John Sterbis as our new facilities director. Traditionally new teams need to form, storm, norm and, lastly, perform. We are transitioning out of the storming stage and establishing more normalcy while beginning performing as a team.

Immediately following our leadership team meeting, I invited a Joe Loprinzi scholarship awardee to lunch. She made my day and inspired me to finish my day strong and focused. After lunch, I led an employee safety town hall meeting, where we talked about our changing neighborhood, encouraged employees to practice safety, and informed them about some of the investments we are making to make MAC safer and more secure.

Next, I had my one-on-one meeting with our marketing communications director to hear the latest updates on the website rollout.

We also discussed moving her staff to our Design Center PDX office building, which is a block and a half from the club. Why are we moving them? We eliminated office space to create conference areas, and we are now simply out of room. Also, our technology and marketing communication teams, which share a space, practice their disciplines very differently.

I then attended a going-away party for our former Gymnastic Manager and Head Coach Meg Doxtator. Immediately following, I attended an informal meeting of the ad hoc community relations committee and then a reception for the Diversity Admission Committee and new, passionate members who have joined through that process.

Throughout the day, between meetings, I ducked my head into the Sports Pub rooting on the Oregon State Beavers as they celebrated their third national baseball championship series win. How sweet it was! I headed home that evening fulfilled with a successful day and a half behind me. Arriving home, I was greeted by my wife of nearly 29 years and two labradoodles, who were anxious to have me home and play and relax.

FACES IN THE CLUB Three MAC junior members participated in the USA Water Polo Junior Olympics in San Jose, California, in late July. Former MAC Swim Team member Natalie Brauser (pictured left) and former MAC Synchro Team member Lily Graham (right) both competed for the Tualatin Hills Water Polo U18 Girls Team, which finished 39th overall out of 96 teams. Both girls say they aspire to play at the college level, and Lily adds, “The years I spent competing with MAC Synchro created a love of swimming and ignited my competitive spirit. It helped make me the player I am today.”

MAC lifeguard Sam Guy also currently plays for the Tualatin Hills U18 Boys Team, which finished 29th out of 108 teams competing in their division at the USA Water Polo Junior Olympics.

Several MAC athletes made a showing at the annual Oregon Sports Awards show, held this summer at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton.

Sam Handley netted the title of Prep Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year, and describes the honor as motivation to “keep working and continuing to get better.” For him, receiving an Oregon Sports Award validates all the hard work and dedication he’s put into the sport.

When not running the field, he drives the court as captain of his varsity basketball team, and says that fire was first fully stoked in the West Gym. “I loved playing MAC basketball during middle school for the friendships formed, my first taste of real discipline, and the cross training for lacrosse. My experience playing with the MAC significantly shaped me into the athlete and man I am today.” The next four years will see him play lacrosse for the University of Pennsylvania while studying business at its Wharton School.

Peter Murphy was named Prep Boys Tennis Player of the Year, and says that receiving the award is a huge honor. “I felt lucky just to attend such a prestigious and well-organized event, but to win it and be able to voice my appreciation in front of a crowd was simply amazing.” Murphy is a lifelong MAC member, and credits the club with providing an abundance of role models. With two more years to go at Jesuit High School, he hasn’t yet nailed down which university he wants to attend, but hopes to compete in college wherever he lands. Of his success so far, he says, “I have learned that no goal can be achieved without hard work and support from others. Hopefully with both of those things, I can achieve my dreams of becoming a college-level athlete and a well-rounded individual.”

For MAC Scholar Athlete Kaitlyn Dobler, receiving her Oregon Sports Award for Prep Girls Swimmer of the Year meant pausing in thankfulness.

“It is not only an amazing feeling to see my work recognized, but it was also a great opportunity to express my gratitude toward all of the people who have helped and supported me along the way,” Dobler says. Despite having only been a MAC member for a few months, she feels like it has already expanded her ability to enjoy athletic pursuits besides swimming, and improved her performance overall. Dobler’s ultimate goal is to become an Olympic athlete, but says she’s realized that the lessons she’s learned along the way are even more meaningful than reaching it.

Named Prep Girls Soccer Player of the Year, Emma Treasure is no stranger to Winged M readers. She was the subject of a Faces in the Club spotlight in the February 2018 issue, when she received similar honors from the United Soccer Coaches Association. She has now begun her freshman year at the University of California, Berkeley, where she continues her soccer career.

FACES IN THE CLUB Continued from page 9 MAC member Kirsten Leonard is upping the bar for heroism. She was recently named the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 14th-annual Woman of the Year! In just 10 weeks, Leonard and her team, Be Your Own Hero, raised more than $150,000 for the charity, a local record. She came to the cause through family friend Rachael Arnold, who lost her brother, John, to leukemia at the age of 9. With this very personal story to inspire her, she put together a team of more than 40 friends, family members and colleagues, and together they collected donations from all 50 states and beyond. As a top fundraiser for LLS, Leonard can link the funds she raised to

a research portfolio in John Arnold’s name. Her work will contribute to the next generation of treatments, potentially impacting millions of lives.

During her acceptance speech at a black-tie gala, Leonard congratulated her team, dedicated her victory to John, and encouraged those fighting cancer to never give up.

New Facilities Director John Sterbis believes in “getting better every day,” which fits in nicely with MAC’s mission to build upon traditions of excellence. He helped to make life better for the animals and visitors at the Oregon Zoo for five years, taking on the role of facilities manager in 2016. An enthusiast of climbing, hiking, fly fishing, skiing and other pursuits of outdoor beauty, he also volunteers with Mazamas. Sterbis is a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, and has carved out his own little slice of paradise in Happy Valley, where he lives with his wife and their Goldendoodle, Hank.

With the retirement of longtime head coach Alex Nikitin in August after 26 years, the mantle of leadership for MAC’s Swim Team falls to a very deserving internal candidate — one of MAC’s own coaches, Tim Larkin. Larkin hails from New York, and says Sizzle Pie is the only Portland choice for real pizza. He’s also a fan of the Timbers, all things Star Wars and Stephen King, particularly The Dark Tower series. When not swimming, you might catch him working up a sweat on a local hiking trail with his wife, Paige, and red lab, Ollie.

HOUSE COMMITTEE

Updates and Improvements to Improve Member Experiences M

Quarterly Report

AC’s Facilities team seemingly never sleeps. The completion of one project simply leads to the beginning of another, and numerous tasks inevitably overlap. Like the titular creatures in the classic children’s tale The Elves and the Shoemaker, the goal is to have members see the end results of their labor without being burdened by the process. Or at least no more than is necessary.

The facilities team added cooling to the West and Main Gyms just in time for this summer’s heat waves. Next on the agenda is refinishing the wood floors in the Main and West Gym; Studios One, Two and Three; the squash doubles courts; MACtinis and 1891. Most of this work should be complete by September. Member patience is appreciated during this annual maintenance procedure.

Despite the club’s best efforts to inconvenience members as little as possible, here are a few other projects members might notice unfolding in the months to come: • Crosswalk redesign: The crosswalk and flashing light bollards, or

posts, on the garage side of Salmon Street are being redesigned to improve safety and comply with the ADA. • Mezzanine restrooms: As previously reported, the restrooms

near the West Stairs on the mezzanine level are being converted to unisex. A lactation room also is being added for nursing moms.

This should all be done by the end of September.

• Reading Lounge furniture replacement: This regular refreshing

of chairs, couches and other pieces is expected to take place in November or December.

• Athletic graphics: New graphics being installed in the squash, racquetball and handball areas celebrate and pay tribute to each sport.

• Studio Two refresh: The yoga studio makeover entails removing the current floor PM 8/16/18 3:25

covering to expose the original wood floor, which will be refinished. The new lighting can create different moods and energy levels, enhancing members’ experience. Look for a fall completion date for this project. .indd 1

Lactation_WFP33

• Child Care lighting: New energy-efficient lighting offers dimming options to support

activities such as naptime. Look for an October or November completion.

Closing Kings Hill/ SW Salmon MAX Station?

TriMet is considering closing the Kings Hill/ SW Salmon St. MAX Station at SW 18th and Salmon streets. The station is not only a valuable asset for MAC staff, members, guests and the neighborhood; it also supports future development in the area.

There are two other MAX stations within several blocks. However, because MAC employees work early morning and latenight shifts, the walk becomes a serious safety and security issue.

Over the past few months, MAC volunteers have been researching and reviewing the impact of the station’s potential closure.

They have recommended that the Board of Trustees advocate keeping the station open, to meet resident and business owner needs, as well as in response to ongoing concerns for employee safety.

Tell-Your-Story Writing Class Book Project Past class participants are encouraged to share a story or essay

N

early 10 years ago I was asked to teach a storytelling class at the Multnomah Athletic Club.

I agreed because stories matter, and we need more of them. We are fundamentally creatures that long to understand and have things make sense. In the midst of our ambiguity, we like certainty. Science answers many of our questions. Science, though, will not help with the greatest questions.

Who am I? Why am I here?

What is my purpose?

For those answers, we must turn to story.

All of us are filled with doubt and pain, struggles and failures, hopes and dreams.

But we rarely share these vulnerabilities.

Instead, we turn to social media to create a mythical life. The best stories are about “something,” not just a recounting of an event. A story reveals, gives meaning and — on some level — provides lessons about life as we all grapple with the mystery of grace and gratitude.

I had no idea who would sign up for my class. My goal was to offer a class for people who never considered themselves to be writers. I wanted my students to believe in themselves and recognize that, at their core, they are storytellers.

The classes, I have learned, always start the same way. Students walk into the room, shy, strangers, all wearing masks, all deeply insecure. Just as I am. Just as you are. Together, we create a community where I help them find their story, searching their hearts and souls. Some are funny, others are painful. Some deal with the past.

Others with what they hope for in their remaining years. They write and rewrite and rewrite, polishing these stories from their lives.

Some of the people in that room have fancy titles in front of their names. Some have great wealth. But at their core they are no different than their classmates.

They are no different than you.

I have been blessed to help shape hundreds of student stories. And now it is time to share them in book form. I will send out an email to former students with details. But some students may have new emails.

If you have ever attended one of my classes and want to participate in this book project, it is easy to do so. Just send me a story or essay. It can be 200 words, or 3,000 words.

All will be gathered into a book that will be published, with any luck, during the upcoming holiday season in December.

Send your work to tbhbook@aol.com —Tom Hallman Jr.

The ad hoc community relations committee and MAC staff members are working with neighborhood partners, including Goose Hollow Foothills League, Stadium District Business Association and Goose Hollow Business Association, to build support for keeping the station open. They also are connecting with Lincoln High School on their future campus plans.

In Memoriam Craig Digman

Thomas Vincent Dulcich

April 26, 1939-June 1, 2018

June 10, 1953-July 12, 2018

Senior preferred member Craig Digman died June 1. He was 79. Craig was born in Portland to Clarence and Janet Digman. He married Loretta Kies of Portland in 1963.

Married for 55 years, they raised three daughters: Cheryl Digman-Olson of Portland, Leslie Narayan of Seattle, and Christie Naze of Portland. Craig worked in the lumber industry for his entire career, starting with Hearin Forest Industries and eventually coowning his own business, Sylvan Industries, for 25 years.

Craig was a proud and avid MAC member for 50 years, and was involved in many athletic activities throughout his life. He was a regular participant in the Ferguson/Murphy Beer Run, from its inception in the late 1970s. He ran in many races, including Hood to Coast, Cascade Run Offs, Bay to Breakers, multiple marathons and even a triathlon. A lot of his athletic adventures involved biking and some landed him and his buddies in The Winged M. One article from 1983 described how Craig, the taskmaster, and five other trained MAC athletes ventured forth on a border-to-border trip equipped with 10-speed bicycles, months of training, and the will to succeed. Another article included a picture of Craig with his fellow Early Bird members titled “Running, Joking, Jesting, Happy,” which described Craig the athlete to a tee. This spirit was especially evident with his Wednesday evening tennis group. Tennis was on the agenda, for sure, but even more important was the food and beer that followed.

He also had a passion for cars, especially Corvettes, of which he owned a few over the years, including a very special 1965 Stingray sport coupe. He also loved going to car auctions.

Craig and Loretta took many great trips around the world to places such as Germany, Australia, Greece and Italy. Craig also enjoyed trips closer to home — to Black Butte Ranch and the Oregon coast — and time spent with his family.

Craig is survived by his wife, Loretta; his three daughters; his three grandsons, Jackson Biehn, Samuel Biehn and Hudson Naze; and his only sibling, Karen McMullin.

A celebration of life was held at the Multnomah Athletic Club on June 30.

Remembrances may be made to Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon.

Thomas Vincent Dulcich died on July 12, 2018, at the age of 65, from complications of a rare cancer that was diagnosed in September 2016.

Tom was a Fighting Fisherman graduate of Astoria High School (1972) and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, with honors, in economics and general science from the University of Oregon (1976). While at Oregon, Tom was awarded the Maurice Harold Hunter Leadership Scholarship, which recognized him as the outstanding junior man on campus, and he was one of two Oregonians selected as a Rhodes Scholar finalist in 1976. Tom served as president of Oregon’s Sigma Chi fraternity chapter and as president of the university’s Interfraternity Council. In June 2018, Tom was recognized as a Significant Sig, an award that honors Sigma Chis throughout North America whose work in their chosen profession has brought honor and distinction to Sigma Chi fraternity.

Following his graduation from the University of Oregon, Tom worked for a year in the Oregon Legislature and then entered the Law School at the University of Chicago.

Tom received his Juris Doctor degree in 1980 and shortly thereafter embarked on a 38-year legal career with Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt. Tom was fortunate to have been the recipient of mentoring and training from excellent lawyers and, in particular, excellent courtroom lawyers. Tom also was privileged to represent wonderful clients, including John D. Gray, the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, Morgan Stanley, the Society of Jesus Oregon Province, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church of Lake Oswego, Grocers Insurance Group, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon, and many others over the course of his career. In 2002, Tom was named a Fellow of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers. At the time of his death, Tom was a member of Schwabe’s board of directors.

One of Tom’s passions was operating the family gillnet boat in the Columbia River commercial salmon fishery. Tom was a longtime member of the Columbia River Fishermen’s Protective Union. He also volunteered in various ways to assist in the preservation of the sustainable Columbia River commercial harvest of salmon.

Tom was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club and Holy Family Catholic

Parish. He served as a member of the board of trustees of the Columbia River Maritime Museum from 2002 until his death and as chair of that board from 2008 through 2010.

Tom is survived by his spouse of 38 years, Cynthia Robinson “Cindy” Dulcich, whom he met at the University of Oregon in 1976; his three daughters: Katie Dulcich (Kent Dolan), Sarah Dulcich (Kyle Mabbott) and Betsy Dulcich; and one grandchild, Greger Thomas, son of Katie and Kent. Tom also is survived by his mother, Donna Mary Dulcich, who still resides in the family home in Astoria. Tom leaves behind a sister, Mary Ann Barton (Michael) of Portland, and two brothers, Jim Dulcich (Kelley) of Portland and John Dulcich (Imelda) of Newcastle, Washington. Tom was predeceased by his father, Vince Dulcich, a longtime football coach and teacher at Astoria High School (and previously at Lake Oswego High School and Toledo High School).

Margaret Maves May 12, 1922–June 23, 2018 Margaret Maves of Portland died at Providence St. Vincent Hospital June 23, 2018, at the age of 96. She was born Mary Margaret Towle on May 12, 1922 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, the oldest of five children.

She was raised by her paternal grandparents all across Ontario and New England.

After secondary school, she returned to Windsor to work as a secretary and met and married John E. “Jack” Cornelison, a native of Louisville, Kentucky, who was training as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force. They had a daughter, Diane Margaret, in 1943. Jack Cornelison was shot down over Europe and died on Sept. 29, 1944.

As a widow with a young daughter at age 22, Margaret Maves went to work as an office manager for the railroad and met Norman Maves, another veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force, in 1946. They were married in Hartford, Connecticut, Feb. 8, 1947.

They soon moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where their son, Norman Maves Jr. was born in 1948. The couple moved to southwest

CLUB NEWS

Portland in 1949 and lived there for the rest of their lives. A third child, daughter Megan, was born in 1954.

Margaret was very pleased to be a 50-plus year member of the Multnomah Athletic Club. She volunteered on several committees and spent much of her time in and out of the water. She participated in lap swimming, accumulating more than 1,450 miles; volunteered as a timer and judge for the MAC Swim Team at AAU swimming events; helped to popularize MAC synchronized swimming, and was an active water aerobics regular until the age of 92. She continued volunteering outside of MAC as president of Broadmoor Women’s Club (1977-78), president of the Assistance League of Portland (1979-80); and a longtime volunteer at the Albertina Kerr thrift store. Inspired by and grateful for the outstanding care her husband Norm received in the cardiac care unit at Providence St. Vincent Hospital when he died in 2002, she volunteered there as a receptionist from 2002 to 2011.

Margaret and Norm were active golfers at Forest Hills Golf Course and Portland Golf Club. She was a director and ladies president of the Pacific Northwest Golf Association and shared a Distinguished Service Award in 2005. Margaret found her niche working in golf press relations. She was a popular, regular fixture in media centers across the United States and abroad, but especially at Ladies Professional Golf Association events, including locally at Columbia Edgewater Country Club and Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.

She was named to the Northwest Golf Media Association Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2011, she was awarded the Elon Ellis Award, given for 40 years of service to the Tournament Golf Foundation.

Margaret is survived by her three children, all MAC members, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Omnivorous Offerings Culinary duo’s dishes celebrate a variety of flavors

By Jake Ten Pas

M

embers needn’t read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma to grasp the concept described in the title. As eaters of meat, veggies, grains, dairy and so much more, humans have an abundance of choices when it comes to satisfying hunger, fueling the body and keeping taste buds happy.

Consequences for those choices also abound. In an age when anyone can quickly research their food’s origin, and opinions vary wildly on the optimal way to nosh, it can be tricky to plot the best meal plan, both for the individual and the planet. Whether indulging carnivorous inclinations or pursuing a plant-based approach, MAC’s dynamic culinary team gives members plenty of ethical menu options.

Thank Executive Chef Philippe Boulot, who has put together a crew capable of catering to any dietary needs while also offering flavors worth lusting after. That crew includes butcher Matt Davis and Sous Chef Deanna Bascom, and both have added distinctive flavors and colors to the club’s palette.

A Cut Above Davis didn’t go to school to become a butcher, but his sum total of experiences is better than any curriculum he might have designed. Born in Texas and raised in Montana, he’s no stranger in a range land. Both states are known for their cattle industries, but cows are just the tip of Davis’ field of expertise.

At 15, he took his first job in the restaurant at Gallatin Gateway Inn, a historic hotel near Yellowstone National Park. Throughout college, he continued to cultivate his cooking skills as a way of supporting himself; the upside was that he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and almost no student loans to pay off.

During his time in and around the wilderness and tourist areas of Montana, he learned to prepare a wide variety of meats, from ranch-raised to wild game. “I was doing bison, venison and some Continued on page 23

Sunset Bistro and Splash Wind Down for the Year

P

revious years have brought rain and over100-degree days. But this year, members had ample time to soak up the sun and ambiance of the MAC’s outdoor dining experience on the Sun Deck. Beyond relishing the good fortune of good weather, the Sunset Bistro team provided members with new experiences and tastes. Live music and themed nights, such as Paella and Sangria Night, Burger Blowout Night and Texas-style Barbeque Night, brought new twists to an already tantalizing menu. The chefs and front-of-house staff are already contemplating how to improve the offerings next season.

On Sunday, Sept. 9, Splash ends its season and the Sunset Bistro begins featuring a smaller menu and limited hours to accommodate cooks moving back to 1891 for expanded fall and winter hours.

The goal continues to be offering members the best of both the Sun Deck (while weather allows) and 1891 while maintaining the quality and service they deserve. The Sun Deck dining team would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the members who helped make this summer a great success. And to those who have not yet visited, swing by for a cocktail or dinner while there’s still time!

Butcher Matt Davis and Sous Chef Deanna Bascom

Butcher and Chef Continued from page 20 of the exotic stuff for quite a while, working under chef Eric Stenberg, who was a longtime chef at Higgins,” he says. “He’s the one who got me going in Montana, if you will. Got me into sourcing, and sustainability, and just kind of the food scene in general.”

Once Davis plateaued in Montana, Stenberg encouraged him to head west to Portland. That move lined up with Davis going to grad school, and he soon found himself working in kitchens again to feed his academic habit. In Portland, the emphasis was on fresh seafood, and he got plenty of practice between Cabezon and the Heathman Hotel’s Headwaters, where he eventually ended up.

“I moved away from landlocked Montana . . . and I quickly became caught up in all the new resources, all the new people and learning about seafood.” His newfound interest in seafood led to a deep dive, and his passion for knowing everything about the proteins he works with continues to this day.

“I like to stay in tune with which rivers are doing well,” Davis says. “A lot of that interest stemmed from working for Flying Fish

Company here in Portland. The owner has a degree in microbiology, and he really put me in tune with a lot of the sourcing — whether color is added to the fish or not, wild versus farmed, the rating . . . Part of my job is passing that info on and helping people make informed decisions about their options.”

He applies this same thorough examination to the meats he works with at MAC. Recently, he participated in the Explore Beef Experience, which took him through calf-cow operations, feed lots, backing, stocking and the whole spectrum of how cattle are raised.

“I got all sorts of great details about grass fed versus non-grass fed, and I learned a lot about animal rights, how they are treated and if it’s done humanely,” he explains. “Sourcing is now more important than ever because A) I have so many options and B) members enjoy having options. But sometimes it’s about just doing what’s best, right?”

Sous Chef Deanna Bascom preps vegetables in the 1891 kitchen.

Butcher and Chef Continued from page 23 Given that MAC goes through roughly $1 million worth of animal protein each year, Davis takes his responsibilities of vendor selection, butchering and utilization of the whole animal very seriously. He’s a fan of offal and other lesser-loved parts, and goes so far as to view them as the “long lost souls of the animals.” Davis takes particular pride in the charcuterie board 1891 serves because the meats are house-made, and that represents creative freedom for him.

“I still use my degree. I just design with starch, protein and veggies instead of glass, steel and concrete,” he says.

So Fresh and So Lean “We have a very diverse membership,” notes Sport Pub Chef Bascom. “Because we have a lot of families, kids, older members, sophisticated eaters, and some who are less sophisticated, we have to put things on the menu that are going to appeal to everyone.”

Rather than view the need to cater to so many disparate tastes as a chore, Bascom embraces the array of potentially pleased members

with a sense of enchantment. It’s obvious that she cherishes a good challenge, or at least doesn’t shy away from it.

“My menu was the first one in the club to designate gluten-free and vegetarian,” she says. “We started incorporating the Wellness logo so members could order healthy options on our menu.”

Bascom’s commitment to nutrition also stems from a recent development in her own life — being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. That revelation required her to make massive adjustments to her eating habits, which have enabled her to live a healthier life.

“My own diet tends to influence what I put on the menu, because it just makes more sense based on how I have to eat,” she explains. “What I’m finding is that a lot more people are a lot more receptive to those sorts of things these days. Not everything I try is successful, but most of it has worked.”

For MAC members, this translates to gastropub grub that is as carefully considered as it is comforting to consume. While there are meaty mainstays of the genre such as burgers, paninis, steak, Continued on page 27

Butcher and Chef Continued from page 24 and fish and chips, there are also plenty of low-fat and vegetarian alternatives.

Bascom points to The Bowl, MAC’s version of a Buddha Bowl, which substitutes quinoa and chickpeas for the usual rice. “It’s a nice balance of protein, because for vegetarians, it’s really important that they get that in,” she says. “With grilled vegetables and a cucumber salad and olives, there are lots of healthy fats, and then we put a nice green goddess dressing on top of that. I’ve been surprised at how well that sells!”

Elsewhere on the menu, she finds ways to ensure that the overall feeling of every dish is light and energizing, even as it satiates. “I always offer a grilled fish dish or simple fish filet. Right now, I have trout, and it has nothing but vegetables underneath it. We do seasonal vegetables, so during summer, there were yellow wax beans, green beans and Romano beans.

And I always do an interesting sauce — always something super fresh.

“Because we’re in Oregon, we have a late summer, so we can still do heirloom tomatoes, and I’ll probably still be doing some summer squash,” she says of September’s sides. These vegetables are often cooked in olive oil instead of butter, both to preserve the natural flavor of the ingredients and to keep caloric and cholesterol content as low as possible.

“I lived in New Mexico for a while, so when we get into fall, it’ll be a green chili stew. We’ll get the Hatch green chilies, which our produce company brings in from Hatch, New Mexico, and we’ll roast them in the oven, peel them and seed them, and then that’ll go into the stew,” she explains. “I like to do a chicken and pumpkin curry, and I haven’t done a butternut squash lasagna in a while, so I might do that.”

Whatever veggies the season sends her way, Bascom says that it’s important to her that patrons of the Sports Pub don’t feel like they’re having to sacrifice to eat nutritiously. “You don’t want them to walk away hungry; you want them to feel satisfied,” she adds. “That’s what I’ve always explored with vegetarian dishes.”

“I think about it a lot more often just because of how I need to eat, and I’m always trying to think of creative ways to do it. We don’t have a defined box that the pub needs to fit into. We can do a lot of different things on that menu, so that’s just incredible right there.” WM

The club’s art collection rewards a closer look

BY JAKE TEN PAS

Glenn Clevenger A Formal Invitation, 2015 Acrylic on wood panel 40 x 84 inches

F

ictional high-school student Ferris Bueller wasn’t known for being an art scholar, but many a child of the ’80s learned to look at art differently by sharing his “Day Off.” To borrow one of his bon mottes, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

The fine art adorning MAC’s walls doesn’t move, or at least not fast enough that most members would see it. The busy professionals who make up much of MAC’s membership, on the other hand, move pretty fast, and they might not always take the time to stop and smell the roses.

Right under their noses, the Arts Subcommittee has slowly built a collection of which the club can be proud. Members might not be aware, but the artwork is valued at more than $1 million, proof that that good taste and good investment can go hand in hand.

Pieces by Sally Haley, James Lavadour, Mel Katz and Michele Russo sit, sometimes inconspicuously, throughout the facilities, beautifying both with their individuality and the collective atmosphere they create.

Now, thanks to a bit of creative thinking on the part of the subcommittee, members can appreciate MAC’s collection from the comfort of their homes or anywhere they take their wireless devices. (themac.pastperfectonline.com/webobject) The recently launched art database allows the curious to search for their favorite works using a variety of criteria, and to deepen their knowledge while they’re at it.

“The Past Perfect software is a wonderful vehicle for keeping track of the collection,” says Terry Lewis, chair of the Arts Subcommittee. “The last time the club published an art catalogue was in the ’90s. When we started to look at putting out a new one, someone had the thought that perhaps that’s not how members would want to view it these days.”

While the new site serves in a pinch, such as for settling debates in the Sports Pub about how many sculptures the club currently houses, there’s truly no substitute for experiencing fine art up close and personally.

Art Collection Continued from page 31 Take, for instance, Bennett Norrbo’s painting Domo Aurea, which hangs on the wall in the hall leading to Events & Catering and At Your Service. Online, it’s easy to appreciate the bold color contrasts that make it evocative even at a glance. Stand a foot away from it, though, and the texture of the canvas comes to life. Brush strokes imply movement, and drops of paint introduce a visible tactility. The steps, steeple and people that populate the painting swarm off the canvas.

“When Elsa [Lemoine] was our staff liaison, she certainly advocated for looking at venues where people will be in small clusters, where there’s easy seating, or by elevators,” Lewis says. “Can we place pieces in locations that are very comfortable, where someone who can’t stand can sit in a chair and enjoy it?”

That’s just one small piece of the equation when it comes to mounting art within the club. As Chris Tarpey, the head of the Collection Management Work Group for the Arts Subcommittee, points out, MAC is “a living, breathing space, and stuff happens.

We try to find a safe place for the artwork, while still recognizing that members need to be able to use the facility.”

That means that not only is the comfort and positioning of the viewer taken into consideration, but the optimization and just

plain safety of the art. A matched set of Katz’s metal sculptures hangs on the walls by the Grand Ballroom, and Lewis explains that this was an optimal space for the primary-colored pair for a couple of reasons.

“We were faced with the fact that this needed to be art that could stand up to this environment,” she says. “They wanted it to be flush to the wall, and a form that would not be a problem for the area’s practical uses.” Those uses include the culinary and events staff wheeling massive carts up and down the hallway, often containing dishes with steam coming off them and plenty of opportunities for splatter. The sculptures’ durability and placement higher up on the wall ensure that they enliven the space with vibrant geometric shapes while staying intact and out of the way.

Not every piece of art in the club is so perfectly placed on the first attempt. Attentive MAC members may have noticed a number of changes in and around the second-floor landing outside Lownsdale and Ainsworth, and the Cornerstone Lounge below.

Lucinda Parker’s painting, Northside, relocated not too long ago to the patch of wall outside the Center Stairs on the first floor, and a change in lighting served to bring out the dark blues that give Continued on page 34 SEPTEMBER 2018

Art Collection Continued from page 33 the piece depth. Similarly, William Park’s No Drums and Bugles, often referred to as “the one with all the geese on it,” found a new home in the illuminating space above, between the entrances to the adjoined private dining rooms.

Most recently, Morris “Moy” Sutherland’s Sea Monster Panel — a smaller work that hung somewhat awkwardly on the massive wall directly to the right of the Sports Pub entrance — was moved elsewhere in favor of a pair of landscapes by Guggenheim Fellow Stephen Hayes. Not only do these compliment the size of the area, but they open it up by offering vistas of a forested path and a plant-lined country pond.

“The other thing that is always interesting, and can serve to advocate for changing where you position a piece of art, is that it becomes new again,” Tarpey says. “People will say, ‘Oh, I didn’t realize we had that.”

Across the foyer and around the corner in the Reading Lounge, a number of works by prominent artists decorate an area dedicated to peaceful reflection and quiet

pursuits. Park’s Commuting #3 (as seen on the cover of this issue) shares a wall with the more contemporary Pipes by Laura Ross-Paul, offering two distinct views of the Portland metropolitan experience.

The simple, elegant still life of Sally Haley’s Melon and Grapes adorns the opposing wall, and in this one room alone it’s possible to get a sense for the breadth of art MAC has collected.

Most everything the club does is in the service of the member experience, and both Lewis and Tarpey report that MAC’s populace is about as attentive as they come.

From dings caused by normal club usage to canvases that have shifted within frames, members notice everything and let the Arts Subcommittee know. While such issues are easily addressed, matters of taste and interpretation are beyond their control.

Manuel Izquierdo’s Icarus sculpture has been moved since its original placement, both in the interest of visibility and not having to transport it each year when holiday decorations take over the club. Now that the Greek cautionary tale has found a safe home outside the front entrance, members are free to observe and appreciate, or not.

Tarpey tells the story of a woman who was bringing her kids into the club one day as the subcommittee was meeting, and stopped by to proffer her opinion.

“She said, ‘I just want to tell you what I think about that piece. You have an image of a child falling from the sky because he disobeyed his father. I don’t think that’s appropriate in an athletic club, do you?’”

“People have strong feelings about it,” Lewis adds.

“But that was actually a very interesting comment too,” replies Tarpey. “She brought a lot of relevance to the piece. And she noticed it!”

As Ferris, Cameron and Sloan learned in John Hughes’ cult film classic, it’s worth pausing for a moment while moving through the mini-museum that is MAC. Just stop and stare, and appreciate the time, effort, and inspiration that’s gone into customizing the building’s brutalist architecture.

Not every nook and cranny features art, but those that do have been carefully considered to add new dimensions to the lives of its bustling members. Nobody who pays attention as they move through the club can ever truthfully say, as Cameron did, that they saw “nothing good” that day. WM

All Roads to MAC Membership Lead to a Stronger Club N

othing screams, “Eat here,” like a line out the door of a restaurant. Few forms of advertising speak so visually to an eatery’s in-demand nature. Especially here in Portland, where waiting in line verges on a competitive sport, restaurateurs seem to encourage the practice as a turbocharged substitute for a sandwich board.

The Multnomah Athletic Club might not have a line running out the front door, but membership is even more highly coveted than a reservation at Lang Baan. While the wait can surpass six months for a seating at southeast Portland’s tiny Thai food jewel, that seems quaint compared to the years it can take to secure a spot at MAC. While the lottery, which takes place every few years, is the most widely known of the club’s avenues to membership, there are a number of other ways to gain access to one of the city’s most-coveted social and athletic hubs. Athletic members and member coaches, for instance, may apply for senior member status after three years of service to MAC. They have to be recommended by their sport committee and approved by the Athletic Committee. Then, their application is processed through the Membership Committee and subject to approval by the Board of Trustees.

If that sounds like a lot of steps, it’s in keeping with the club’s commitment to ensuring that new members fit MAC’s culture of excellence. All members, regardless of their path to admission, pay the same initiation fee and membership dues.

Other avenues to membership, which also sidestep the lottery, include: Spouses, Partners and Legacy; Scholar Athletes; and the Diversity Admissions Program. For more on the first two, skip ahead to the next page. For more on Diversity Admissions, keep reading.

Building a More Inclusive Club The Diversity Admissions Program (DAP) is perhaps the club’s most progressive membership endeavor, seeking to make MAC’s population more representative of the greater metropolitan area that houses and shapes it. One of the most notable MAC members to join the club via DAP is current Board of Trustees president Grant Yoshihara.

Member Maryam Zare first came to MAC through DAP, and now acts as chair of the Diversity Admissions Committee (DAC), the group that oversees the program. For her, MAC’s mission to shake up its make up is both personal and in the best interests of the club as a whole.

“What I see is that we are bringing in some amazing people through this program,” she says. “These are individuals who are highly, highly accomplished; highly, highly educated; and highly, highly connected.

“Most importantly, they are highly respected in the community and bring diverse experiences and viewpoints to MAC that benefit the entire community. They also become our biggest advocates externally and help put MAC on the radar of Portland’s growingly diverse community.”

JOSEPH PALAZZO

By Jake Ten Pas

Maryam Zare

Zare’s family is a microcosm of diversity. She was born in Iran, and has lived in Portland longer than her hometown. She considers the U.S. her home and takes her role a citizen seriously. Her husband is from India, and their two sons consider themselves Portlanders.

While one of the selling points of DAP for potential members is the ability to skip the lottery and associated waiting, it’s important to recognize that the screening process is just as rigorous. Diversity Admissions candidates must meet program criteria, such as that they contribute to the club’s racial diversity; are socially and morally compatible with MAC values; believe in being good citizens and working to better the community; and demonstrate a commitment to voluntary or professional activities that foster local connections.

Members admitted through this process also meet with the DAC for in-person interviews, and, as always, the Board of Trustees has to approve those recommended.

Paths to Membership Continued from page 37 “One of the things that I look for personally is people about whom you would think, ‘They are amazing role models.’ Role modeling is very important,” Zare says. “I want people to like you and look up to you. We care a lot about the character of people.”

Diversity admissions help not only to increase the value of MAC membership by filling the club with extraordinary people, but also to change the way that the larger community views MAC’s culture.

The less homogenous the club’s population, the more diversity it will attract in the future by appealing to groups who might not previously have considered joining.

“Coworkers, students and friends will ask that person, ‘Hey, what’d you do this weekend?’ ‘I went to MAC with my kids.’ ‘Oh, so it’s a good club? I want to be part of that!’” Zare imagines conversations like this transpiring in previously untapped pockets around the city, and that’s good for everyone involved.

She also points to a number of recent events that came about thanks to the contributions of members who joined through the program. Both 2017’s Bollywood Dance and this year’s Adult Dance Workshop on Irish Dance were the product of committees’ DAP recruits. While Zare’s son was a junior MAC member, he even worked with a former employee to start a chess club.

“Diversity brings in different points of view,” she says. “It’s not like we want to take away anything. It just makes everything more interesting, right?”

Other Avenues of Admission Membership should be shared with the ones you love. With that in mind, the Spouses and Partners and Legacy paths to admission seek to make it easier to bring husbands, wives and domestic partners into the fold, as well as offspring.

A spouse or partner’s application is processed through the Membership Committee and is subject to approval from the Board of Trustees. Spouses are subject to applicable initiation fees and dues in effect at the time of application. Family applications including a spouse or partner must provide a marriage certificate, or a copy of a government-issued civil union or an equivalent certificate.

At age 18, the children of members transition from being junior to intermediate members. An intermediate member, upon reaching age 26, may complete an application for senior or nonresident status, enroll in the Legacy Resign and Retain Program or resign.

Lastly, MAC Scholar Athletes receive a two-year MAC membership along with their scholarship. At the end of that time, they can elect to convert to intermediate membership. Applications for membership are processed through the Membership Committee and subject to approval by the Board of Trustees. WM

A Simply Amazing Experience in Frontier Oregon

Whether you want golf, relaxation, great food, shooting, fishing or simply a massage, Silvies has something for everyone.

By: Hank Hickox

N

Ranch Experiences State of the art shooting ranges, horseback riding, cattle drives, goat herding, birding and tasting of more than 100 Scotches are just a few of the things you can try at Silvies.

estled in the beautiful high desert and pine forest country of eastern Oregon is a jewel in the form of a new eco-resort.

A 140,000-acre working ranch, raising grass-fed Red Angus cattle and American Range goats, is home to the Retreat and Links at Silvies Valley Ranch.

Lodging and Accomodations The boutique luxury resort (only 34 rooms), with tastefully designed Westernstyle accommodations and amenities, is perfectly melded into a full ranch experience. Log Cabins overlook a pond stocked with rainbow trout. Each cabin features 2 bedrooms with king beds, a great room, 3 bathrooms, 5 televisions, a wine cooler and private hot tub. Other accommodations include Ranch House rooms, which, despite the rustic name, are equivalent to the finest of hotel rooms.

Each feature king beds, walk-in tiled rain showers, big screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi, among other amenities.

Dining Options On-site dining includes breakfast and lunch at Egan’s Hideout overlooking the spectacular golf courses. Dinner is offered in the stunning dining room of The Lodge, a brief walk from all rooms. Enjoy a fully stocked bar, option of communal dining at the “Ranch Table” and post-dinner cocktails under the stars around the firepit on the patio overlooking Otter Pond. Dining fare showcases delicious ranch-raised organic beef and chevon and in-house prepared accompaniments and desserts.

Fitness and Conference Facilities An expansive Spa & Fitness Center opening in August will offer full spa services, plus an 80-foot lap pool and climbing wall. Groups up to 60 will enjoy meeting in the convenient Conference Center on site.

Unique Golf Experiences But what makes this resort even more unique is the ranch experience options, such as golf on the 18-hole reversible course—the first built anywhere in over 450 years (since the Old Course at St. Andrews). Designed by Dan Hixson, The Hankins and Craddock courses reverse on alternate days providing two distinctly different golf experiences.

There’s also the 9-hole par 3 Chief Egan course and McVeigh’s Gauntlet—a 7-hole challenge course, featuring goat caddies and a par 2 bonus hole!

Wildlife and Conservation Or simply unplug, relax and enjoy the valley’s vast landscape and abundant wildlife and wildflowers. Owners, Scott and Sandy Campbell are fully committed to sustainable ecological enhancement and conservation of natural resources—which is evident everywhere. For example, no plastic water bottles are allowed, instead, guests receive complimentary Hydro Flasks in their choice of color.

Location Experience all that Frontier Oregon has to offer at this new unique and amazing resort.

Silvies is only about 2 hours from Bend and 5 hours from Portland, leave at 7 and have lunch in Silvies! Located a half hour from Burns or John Day, airport pickup is available, and the Retreat has its own 5,000 foot paved runway for private aircraft.

Call 1-800-SILVIES or visit www.silvies.us for more information Hank Hickox is a longtime (27 years) MAC member and past General Manager of Bandon Dunes, Skamania, Salishan, and Sunriver Resorts and presently Chairman of the Retreat and Links at Silvies.

n my house, getting the kids ready to go back to school is a process.

Routines are essential during the school year, but there can be a painful transition from summer to fall. My children aren’t ready for a fixed bedtime, so they try to stay up later, have trouble getting up in the morning, and then come home from school exhausted. To help ease the transition, I’ve embraced using essential oils. There are essential oils for relaxation to help prepare for earlier bedtimes. There are essential oils for improving focus and alertness during school.

For sleep, I like lavender. It can be used in a room diffuser, or use a couple drops behind the ear or a few drops sprinkled on a tissue under the pillow. Lavender has been shown to slow brain waves and heartbeat, which aid in sleep and muscle relaxation. Lavender also has been shown to ease anxiety and reduce insomnia. Don’t most of us feel more alert in the morning after a good night’s sleep?

Another idea to kick start the morning is introducing citrus essential oils, which help to liven the senses and help kids of all ages feel more alert and ready to start the day. Lime, grapefruit, lemon and orange are all wonderful choices. My daughter also likes essential oil from the mint family, such as peppermint or eucalyptus. My personal favorite is rosemary essential oil, which has been shown to increase blood flow to the cerebrum, thus improving alertness. I like to put a little essential oil behind the ear, on the inside of the wrist, or even on the bottom of the feet. I also have added essential oils to lotion, sunscreen and shampoo.

As a parent, I like using essential oils as a therapeutic agent because they are relatively risk-free. My kids love the smells, so I can easily use them and feel that I’ve helped them ease into a routine and stay more alert during the day.

Wellness workshops help re-establish a wellness routine.

Yoga for Special Conditions 6-7:15 p.m. Mondays, Oct. 1-29 Arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis can be debilitating conditions that make engaging in meaningful daily life activities challenging. A yoga practice can help create space for a more accessible and enjoyable life. Yoga has been shown to be effective at improving strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, respiration and postural alignment. In addition, mindfulness-based yoga practices can decrease pain and stress levels while increasing the ability to focus and find peace of mind.

In this five-week, tailored series, MAC yoga instructor and occupational therapist Cady Stickney teaches which exercises or poses

to avoid and recommends modifications for various asanas (yoga poses). Participants will learn how to use yoga props to support their practice, various energy conservation techniques, and tools for incorporating pranayama (breathing) techniques into their daily lives.

Please wear comfortable clothing as each session will include a brief gentle yoga sequence. The cost is $30 per session or $145 for all five. Register at theMAC.com.

ATHLETICS

TENNIS

Game, Set, Match MAC Tennis staff’s wealth of experience leads to players’ success on the courts.

W

hile the game they love has kept MAC’s Tennis staff youthful, add up all their years of experience, and you get a very different impression. More than 240 years of play and 165 years of coaching add up to a reserve of wisdom and experience that would give the Golden Girls a run for their money, as well as just about any club in the country.

Regardless of members’ on-court aspirations, MAC Tennis can take them where they want to go. But before buying the ticket and taking the proverbial ride, it’s never a bad idea to get to know the folks working the controls. Head Coach Paul Reber has assembled a well-rounded staff capable of facilitating any journey, whether to a competitive level, maximum fitness, or just being able to play socially without losing face.

“MAC coaching staff is so special because we have a coach for all levels of play and very different personalities,” Reber says. “We have all played and coached in a variety of situations, from low to really high levels. Our understanding of the tennis player’s mind in different situations is second to none in the Pacific Northwest.”

Tennis Continued from page 56

Marco Piñeda The newest member of the Tennis staff is Marco Piñeda, who joined the team in June. He got his start in tennis at the age of 5, when he set his sights on being as cool as Andre Agassi. In those days, he hit everything as hard as possible and had long hair sticking out of his hat. Piñeda’s dad never believed Marco would persevere with the sport, but he did, and it ended up getting both father and son into tennis. The senior Piñeda became a student of the game and helped the junior to develop.

Piñeda went on to play tennis for, and earn his master’s degree from, Gonzaga University. He first started coaching during his college years, as well, when he got involved with Nike Tennis Camps.

While searching for employment in public relations, Piñeda received a call from the Spokane Club asking if he was interested in working there. The plan was to coach part time while he continued searching for a “real job,” but Piñeda soon realized coaching and sharing the great game of tennis were his passion and his love.

Piñeda moved to Portland in 2012, becoming the men’s and women’s assistant coach at Lewis and Clark College. He helped coach the women’s tennis team to the 2016 Northwest Conference championship, their first since 1979. Next up was a stint at Mountain Park Racquet Club as a tennis professional. Piñeda still competes and was named the USPTA/PNW Player of the Year in 2013 and 2014.

“I’m beyond grateful to be a part of the excellence and tradition MAC stands for,” Piñeda says. “I look forward to being a part of Paul’s vision for the tennis program moving forward. His enthusiasm and passion for the game are contagious.”

Bjorn Budden

Waldemar Holowetzki

Coach Bjorn Budden’s introduction to tennis involves being “lured” into the game by pancakes at the age of 8! Budden’s dad played at Lake Oswego High School, and often brought him along to act as ball boy.

Afterward, his father would say that they could stop at the Original Pancake House if Bjorn would only hit some balls. Flapjacks are powerful motivation, and Budden’s career began with a short stack.

At age 19, Budden worked a summer camp at Lake Oswego Tennis Center. His ability as a player and coach got him a fulltime job offer at the end of the summer.

After working a couple more tennis jobs, fate intervened in the form of MAC’s former Tennis Manager. As Budden says, “One sunny summer day 21 years ago, Wayne Pickard offered me a job at the MAC, and I have been here ever since.”

Waldemar Holowetzki, who joined MAC the year after Sandoz, brings the most coaching experience to the team — 44 years.

Holowetzki came to tennis at the age of 12, when his mother purchased a racquet for him on his birthday. He excelled in a number of activities, including swimming, gymnastics and boxing, but tennis and the violin were closer to his heart. Ultimately, he had to choose between those two passions, and the music world’s loss is MAC’s gain.

After high school, Holowetzki earned a master’s degree in physical education and went on to work at Moscow State University. His work there was influenced by an array of elite athletes and coaches, perhaps none more than former world champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, with whom he worked.

Carol Sandoz Carol Sandoz not only holds the longest tenure of all MAC Tennis coaches, she’s also one of two current coaches who played their college careers at Arizona State University.

She got her start in tennis at the age of 10, when her parents joined a club so they could play year-round. Sandoz was put into lessons to develop the pure technique seen in her strokes today. She got into coaching after her junior coach enlisted her help with demonstrations and, eventually, clinics.

Sandoz was a three-time Oregon State High School Champion and an AllAmerican at Arizona State. She credits her college coach as a huge influence on her decision to enter the world of coaching.

Before joining MAC, she taught at Portland’s Racquet Club and the Eastmoreland Racquet Club.

SEPTEMBER 2018

Quintin Yray Coach Quintin Yray came to the game via a five-dollar bet in high school. He boasted that he could beat members of the tennis team, and, sure enough, he triumphed over the top three players and earned the number-one position.

Yray next headed to Chico State University on a soccer scholarship, but an ankle injury kept him from pursuing that sport further. While playing tennis to stay in shape, he was noticed by a college coach, who asked Yray to challenge the players on his team. After beating the second- and third-ranked players, he lost to the first.

Needless to say, he was invited to join the program. After moving to Southern California, Yray got his first taste of coaching when former star Pancho Segura saw him playing, liked what he saw, and offered him a job.

Continued on page 60

ATHLETICS

Tennis Continued from page 58 During his tenure at Louisiana Tech from 2006 to 2012, Yray was the winningest coach in more than 30 years of school history.

Sue Basham Sue Basham is the Girl’s Tennis Coach at Lincoln High School and the City League coordinator at MAC. She grew up at the Berkeley Tennis Club in Northern California and was influenced by players such as Billy Jean King and Rosie Casals, who were at the club then.

60 | The Wınged M |

After high school, Basham attended the University of Oregon, where she played No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles for the Ducks.

Paul Reber Reber got involved in tennis when his parents decided they needed a sport the whole family could play. He was given his first racquet at age 4, and started competing in tournaments at 9. Living in a small town in Canada, Reber was forced to move away from his parents at 15 to pursue his passion.

It paid off when he was awarded a scholarship to Arizona State University.

SEPTEMBER 2018

After four years playing there, he had the opportunity to join the women’s program as the assistant coach. Ten years later, he was offered the position of Head Women’s Tennis Coach at the University of Oregon.

From there, he got involved in club coaching, which eventually brought him to MAC. u Tap into the extensive experience of MAC’s Tennis staff by finding out more about the program’s offerings today.

An opportunity exists to expand the range of programs for the special needs population.

A

utism affects 1 in 59 American children, making it the fastestgrowing developmental disorder in the United States. Those figures are from the advocacy organization Autism Speaks, and studies show that participating in sports can be extremely beneficial for those with autism and other special needs. They improve selfesteem, social skills, motor skills and other essential functions, and MAC is the perfect place for people of all abilities to grow and cultivate a love of physical activity and sports.

The Lawler family joined MAC in September 2017 “primarily to find a community that would allow our child to feel safe, learn and grow,” says Anna Lawler. Her son, Aidan, who is autistic, has been swimming with instructor Joey Weston on Saturday afternoons for nearly a year now. “Having this continuity and option for our child has been instrumental in his growth,” she adds. Swimming helps build core strength, which can improve coordination and equilibrium, and the water can be a soothing, quiet place, which is beneficial not only for those with autism, but for those with sensory processing disorders, Down Syndrome or ADHD. Aidan’s mom is his biggest advocate. Not only does she make sure Aidan gets to participate in all the activities that interest him, she also provides caregivers with an informative sheet about his likes, dislikes and things he responds well too. This is hugely beneficial for instructors, coaches and other staff members. The more they know, the better the experience they can provide for all junior members in their programs.

Club Racquetball Pro Hank Marcus, who has also been working with Aidan, was so inspired by the sheet that he decided to make his

64 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2018

own intake form for all junior members participating in camps. The one-page questionnaire informs staff about everything from mobility issues to special diets. He hopes it provides staff with “the right tools for helping juniors succeed at the club.”

Marcus’ positive experiences with Aidan have led him to work with other junior members with autism. He loves bonding with his students and says they force him to really look at things differently.

“It’s almost like I’m getting more out of it than they are.” He’s also been working within the Athletics department to create programs that can be targeted specifically to members with special needs.

MAC has a unique opportunity to make the club a more inclusive space by acknowledging the need for a wider range of programs for the special needs population. “We would love to have more options in the club for children like mine to feel included,” Lawler says.

She believes the club needs to formulate a plan, with input from members and staff, that would meet the needs of all of those in the MAC community. u Aquatics offers one-on-one swim lessons on Saturday afternoons. The West Pool is quiet at this time, and free of distractions; instructors can tailor a program to each child’s needs. One-on-one lessons also are offered on weekdays, when space allows.

ATHLETICS Pickleball for All Ages There are quite a few myths about the game of pickleball: It’s just for old folks. It’s not a real workout. It’s not a real sport.

On the contrary, pickleball is played by men and women of all ages, including kids, teens and young adults. Many schools have integrated pickleball in their recreation and wellness curriculums. It is also a nationally sanctioned sport with championship tournaments nationwide. Many athletes are even sponsored by major sports brands.

Pickleball is one of the easiest games to learn, and the rules are simple. It combines techniques from tennis, table tennis and badminton, and is played with a small composite paddle and a Whiffle-like ball.

At MAC, pickleball has a dedicated following of more than 100 members, and the club currently hosts up to five pickleball games simultaneously in the Main Gym. The sport is open to everyone, and no experience is necessary. Veterans are happy to teach new players the skills and rules. Visit the Main Gym anytime between noon and 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, for an introduction. Paddles and balls are provided for beginners.

Pickleball games can bring together multiple generations.

HANDBALL

Tournaments to Attract Top Talent Oregon summers provide MAC Handball players the opportunity to take their game outdoors for one-wall competitions. One-wall is a different game, but it’s also a great way to improve one’s four-wall skills, especially with offensive shots. Coach J. D. McLandrich augments those opportunities with twicemonthly indoor one-wall, played in the MAC’s West Gym. A large contingent of MAC players bring their improved skills to the second annual Portland Classic, held at MAC in October. Last year’s inaugural tournament attracted more than 80 players and began a new tradition of opening the competitive handball season at arguably the best venue in the country.

History in the Making Looking further ahead, MAC is prepping to host a first-ever event in late December.

The National Junior Tournament will be held in conjunction with a World Players of Handball (WPH) Pro Stop. It’ll be the

ATHLETICS FITNESS

Stand Up to Bone Loss

N

othing brings on a groan more quickly in my active aging workout classes than telling students we are going to practice getting up and down off the floor. This functional daily task is critical to maintaining strength and mobility as we age, but is often ignored in exercise routines. Another aspect of aging well that’s frequently overlooked — until it is too late — is bone loss, commonly referred to as osteopenia (low bone mass) or osteoporosis (advanced loss of bone tissue).

Health authorities project about 17.2 million new cases of osteoporosis or osteopenia between 2010 and 2030, a 32-percent increase compared with 2005 to 2010. Fifty percent of all women and 25 percent of all men older than 50 will suffer broken bones due to osteoporosis, and 24 percent of hip fracture patients in that age group die within a year after the fracture. These sobering statistics are why I encourage my students and clients to practice GTS (Ground-to-Standing) exercises, which can help preserve strength, improve agility and prevent hazardous falls.

There are two main catalysts to losing the ability to get up and down with ease. The first is that people simply stop practicing and soon find they’ve lost the ability. The second is an illness or injury (or fear of an injury) that inhibits the daily practice. Once individuals become weak at the task, and it is hard or uncomfortable, the desire to practice it declines dramatically. Add to this the social fear of getting “stuck” in front of friends or family, and the practice of complete avoidance at any cost becomes the norm.

Where to begin? First, evaluate a few basics and ask yourself a few questions: • How do I get in and out of a chair? Am I using my hands unnecessarily?

• How do I get in and out of bed?

• How do I feel about getting up and down from the floor?

What do I find most difficult about the task?

• Do I rely on a railing for stairs? Am I holding lightly for a little extra balance? Am I leaning to avoiding using muscles?

The first step in making a change is being aware of what is going on with your body. Making a change can be as simple as consciously not using your hands to get out of a chair, and paying enough attention to “catch” yourself when you are cheating. This may sound simple, but little daily habits really do add up. If someone is interested in making faster progress with GTS exercises and improving overall strength and bone density, I recommend joining a group class or utilizing the expertise of a personal trainer.

Bone-health basics • Walking has a limited effect on bone health.

• Weight machines often mitigate the “weight bearing” factor and are not as effective as free weights.

• High-impact activities help the most with bone growth and osteoporosis prevention.

• Heavy resistance training is safe and effective.

• Posture, balance an agility training are essential to fall prevention.

Most people do the wrong core exercises the wrong way, making their posture worse and training their abs to stick out more.

This workshop teaches participants how to work all the muscles of the core correctly and functionally. Notes class instructor Michelle Damis, “I was partially paralyzed after a back surgery several years ago. If I’d kept doing crunches and other un-functional core movements, I never would have gotten as strong as I am today.”

2-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22 Team Training Room

When it comes to using a foam roller, most people watch others and mimic them — often incorrectly. Myofascial release techniques are not just about compression and making a certain muscle “hurt.” There are specific movements that should be done while rolling that lead to the greatest results and benefits.

MAC Personal Trainer Michelle Damis teaches how foam rolling can help release and lengthen muscles, break up adhesions, increase flexibility and strength, speed workout recovery, boost performance, alleviate pain and correct dysfunctional movement patterns. u For more information or to register for either Core & Posture or Foam Rolling classes, contact Michelle Damis at mdamis@themac.com.

VOLLEYBALL

A Lifetime of Enjoyment Bennett Shoemaker (pictured) started playing volleyball at MAC in third grade. It was a new sport for her, but as a club member, the environment felt familiar and safe. Fast forward to 2018. Shoemaker graduated from Lincoln High School this year, having played nearly 10 years of year-round volleyball, much of that at MAC, and is preparing to play opposite hitter at the University of Puget Sound.

She spoke warmly about her volleyball path at MAC. “I am passionate about volleyball; it is my favorite sport, hands down,” she said. “The MAC program is very good at developing younger players, putting a lot of emphasis on the technique and structural concepts of the game, which worked for me . . . Brandon Hannula coached me for three years, and I truly admire him. He showed amazing enthusiasm and provided a perspective that volleyball could be a lifetime of enjoyment.

He challenged me while keeping the game fun, and I thrived on it. I am happy that I found the MAC program and stuck with it.”

She added: “I enjoy the balance of athletic, academic and social life the MAC offers. This influenced my decision to play D3, where I can continue to play a sport I love without feeling overwhelmed.” WM u Check the MAC Volleyball page at theMAC.com or contact Lea Petock at lpetock@themac.com for more information on how to get involved in the junior program.

From the Archives

All-Century Team I

n the early 1920s, while attending Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), MAC member Robin Reed won Amateur Athletic Union, Pacific Northwest Association, Oregon Open, and Pacific Coast titles in wrestling.

At the 1924 Paris Summer Olympics, he defeated teammate and fellow MAC member Chester “Chet” Newton to win the gold medal in men’s featherweight wrestling. Newton, of course, took silver.

Reed, who never lost a match during his amateur wrestling career, is considered one of the best amateur wrestlers of all time, and one of the best American wrestlers prior to the World War II era. He is honored on the MAC Wall of Fame, as an inductee to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum, and as a member of the PAC-12 All-Century Team.

In 2017, Oregon State University was in possession of Reed’s PAC-12 All-Century Team ring. Finding no surviving immediate family members, the school donated the ring to MAC, where it remains in the archives for long-term conservation purposes and as testament to Reed’s accomplishments. Look for it on temporary display in the Reading Room cases this fall. ­—Luke Sprunger, club archivist

Walter J. Urba, M.D., Ph.D. Director, cancer research, Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center at Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, Providence Cancer Center Education and training • • • •

Why Providence?

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

What’s your dream for Providence Cancer Center?

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

What are your hobbies?

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

Who were your mentors?

My mother and father.

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

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

What’s a favorite Providence memory?

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

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

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

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