t has been a pleasure to serve you, the members, as a trustee for nearly 2.5 years. This is my first opportunity to write in this column. I’d like to share a couple of topics.

Change incrementally

Mike Wells SECRETARY

As your trustee and officer, my philosophy on change guides my decisions on your behalf. Changing regularly and incrementally is best for our club to continue to thrive.

Change is always happening and is coming at us faster and faster, principally enabled, in my opinion, by communication technology, including smart phones and the internet. Therefore, it is not a choice of whether to change, but how to change.

An individual or an organization like your Multnomah Athletic Club can choose to change incrementally or suffer change from outside forces. The advantage of changing incrementally is being able to manage and shape that change. Otherwise, the outside forces will cause change that can be dramatic and traumatic.

An analogy is to blindly drive through a stop sign and get T-boned by the vehicle with the right of way, or to stop at the sign and look both ways before proceeding.

Organizations, including the MAC, are vulnerable to a vocal few who are resistant to change, speaking out and dominating discussions about change. The majority care, but don’t feel passionate enough to raise a fuss.

Therefore, without brave leadership and resolve to act, the status quo prevails. Over time, lack of change can choke an organization as it one day wakes up in need of dramatic change to adjust to the world around it.

It is healthy and sustaining for MAC to change regularly, in increments manageable for the culture and the budget. In this manner, the club will stay relevant. It will continue to be vibrant and attractive to existing and future members who are essential to sustaining MAC for another 125 years. If our club is not relevant, then it will become stodgy. If our club is not vibrant, then it will become stale.

We have enjoyed a lottery for new members that has nearly 1,000 people stand in line to join us. In my opinion, that’s because the

club is relevant to them and their families.

So we must be doing it right. The evidence from lottery applications confirms that.

Yes, those leaders before us who had the resolve to make the men’s weight room a coed Exercise & Conditioning Room helped make it right. And those leaders who added the Loprinzi Wing helped make it right.

Think of those changes and a half-dozen more and imagine how stodgy and stale the club would be without them.

In conclusion, I urge members to embrace change. It will be essential to your Multnomah Athletic Club continuing to thrive.

Secretary duties Last February, I was elected to be secretary, one of four officers out of the 12 trustees. Typically, the post is held by a third-year trustee. The primary duty is to assist the president as one of four officers. Fortunately, you have a very able president this year in Janice Marquis. I’m delighted to support her in setting the board agenda, making appearances at a host of club events and sorting through difficult issues that inevitably confront the board.

Another duty is to keep the minutes of official board of trustee proceedings. Your executive assistant, Melania Oppat, does a fantastic and prompt job of drafting the minutes for board meetings. My role is to proofread them for accuracy. As well, I review the redacting of confidential and sensitive names and content that are not appropriate for posting to the general membership. My inclination is toward as much transparency as possible, but with sensitivity to individual members’ privacy and to topics that could be detrimental to your club if broadcast.

Examples are medical waivers or suspensions for individuals that could be unnecessarily embarrassing if published. Another example is details of negotiations with a vendor that could compromise your club if divulged.

The secretary also has responsibility to record the minutes of executive sessions of the board of trustees. No staff is present, and an accurate recording of the proceedings and decisions is important. It sets the record clear and can be helpful to future boards researching history on a complex issue.

My fellow officers have a heavier workload and meeting schedule, especially President Marquis, but I’m glad to be able to serve the board and the members in this role. WM SEPTEMBER 2016

he Summer Olympic Games came to a successful conclusion in late August and the United States earned 121 medals (46 gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze).

Michael Phelps continued to add to his collection of gold and Norm Rich silver medals, earning GENERAL MANAGER six additional medals (five gold and one silver), finishing his participation in five Olympics and earning more medals than any other Olympian ever. Phelps was honored by teammates and appointed to carry the flag in the opening ceremonies. Swimming teammate Katie Ledecky finished her Olympic quest with five medals (four gold). The “Final Five” won the overall gold medal in gymnastics and Simone Biles won five medals (four gold), closing out the Olympics as the U.S. flag bearer. USA track and field sprinters, distance runners, discus throwers and shot putters all competed and won many medals representing our country.

Oregon was well represented by athletes from around the state and on the medal podiums. A tremendous amount of U.S. flag-draped athletes jogged around the track celebrating their successes. U.S.A. men and women basketball teams proudly took home gold; while the women’s beach volleyball and volleyball teams came one game short of gold but triumphed in bronze-medal matches.

American athletes competing in relays on the track and in the pool came away with most medals. There were decathlon and triathlon wins. There are too many great stories, wins and losses to share in my column, but they are worth living and reliving until the next Olympics in Tokyo in 2020. As ABC’s Wide World of Sports started their show every weekend for decades, the Olympics is certainly representative of the “Thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!”

Usain Bolt, representing Jamaica, finished with gold in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 relay. This is an amazing accomplishment for any athlete for a third straight Olympics, and he retains his title as the world’s fastest recorded athlete. (tripletriple). Congratulations Usain!

What an incredible finish for Brazil, honoring their country on the biggest sports stage every four years as the men’s soccer team earned the gold medal after 120 minutes of play and five successful penalty kicks versus

Germany, which finished slightly short for the silver medal. Earning such an honor on your home field in the host country on the last day of competition makes the victory even more meaningful and magical; sweet, as some would say. The Brazil men’s volleyball team also gold medaled on the last day of competition, earning more celebration by host country Brazil.

Countries from around the world that competed in the 31st Olympic games have brought the world closer together through competition, friendship and sportsmanship.

I congratulate Brazil for their magnificent effort in making these games extremely memorable and meaningful! An extinguished Olympic flame is the end of one competition but begins preparation for the next! Thank you athletes from around the world for an amazing two weeks!

Our young athletes at the MAC have the opportunity to begin their athletic endeavors recreationally at first, and later competitively. Our coaches are some of the best in the country, and many of our athletes compete for national championships and a few have competed internationally. A few of our members have participated in Olympics and Paralympics games, and some have won. In the next Olympics in Tokyo, in 2020, sport climbing will be a newly added sport. Our club trains climbing athletes in our everexpanding rock gym. Traditionally, we have Olympic bumps in many of the Summer Olympic sports, so if your children are interested in competing, now is the time to find out more from coaches and register them if they have the desire. Parents will enjoy seeing their children play recreationally or compete competitively. They will meet lifelong friends and be more engaged with their athletic children thanks to these experiences.

This month brings the beginning of fall and all the wonderful things that come with it. We will miss more daylight, sunshine and the bountiful fruits and vegetables that the summer has to offer. We will return to a more disciplined schedule for families of school, recreational classes and training for elite athletes here at the MAC. Professional, college, high school and youth football leagues; Family Fridays and Junior Dances return to MAC’ and the 125th Ball promises to impress in every way imaginable. We celebrate the season’s harvest with quality ingredients featuring color, flavor, freshness and textures throughout the Northwest, bountiful catches from Alaskan waters and lobsters from Maine during all of October. Join us as we celebrate everything wonderful about the MAC! WM SEPTEMBER 2016

ADMINISTRATIVE SPORTS SHORTS

A

fitness blog entry from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association talked about lessons from a tree-climbing fish. An interesting picture, no? However, the blog used the Ed Stoner quote, “if you judge ATHLETIC DIRECTOR a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing itself stupid,” to point out not everyone can or should climb a tree.

And, all too often, we set our own goals or program tests based on a single skill, ability or fitness trait.

As we enter a new school year, and many of you return to MAC on a more regular basis, you should keep in mind one of MAC’s strengths is its diversity in program offerings.

Not everyone can swim numerous laps in the pool or would enjoy one of our 56 water fitness classes each week. Similarly, another member might be able to run 10 miles without issue, do 25 pull-ups in a row or know and flawlessly execute every move in a Zumba class or any one of our 225 group exercise classes each week.

Any one of these might intimidate you, but rather than be a fish trying to climb a tree, you should simply seek the water and other fish, so that your fitness habits are feasible, enjoyable and become a routine.

After all, the adage that it takes 21 or more days in a row to make a habit will certainly be easier for you if it is something you can do in the first place.

If you already have a fitness habit, great.

The next step is to make the most of it; and technology continues to create ways to help you do that. Whether through a Fitbit, Apple Watch, Blaze, Garmin, Polar, MyZone, etc., there are loads of gear and apps out there to help you maximize your workouts, and ultimately reach your goals.

My hope is to speak with some of you and our staff who use these devices to provide some information and guidance regarding them in coming articles to help you make the most of your fitness journey. And, if you simply need a little motivation, visit IHRSA’s #WhyGetActive on Twitter or Instagram.

I look forward to seeing you getting active around the club this month in a way that meets your fitness abilities and needs. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB Member Maureen Murphy will be inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame during the group’s 2016 induction ceremony at MAC on Wednesday, Sept. 21. Murphy swam in the 100 backstroke in the 1956 games in Melbourne, Australia, finishing fifth. She joined the MAC Swim Team in 1951 at age 12. In the national AAU women’s senior indoor championships in 1955, Murphy won the 20-yard backstroke title. Later that year, she was on the U.S. exhibition team that swam in the Middle East and Europe.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Communications Manager Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.

Intermediate member Thomas Rudinsky was named the Portland Interscholastic League Player of the Year, PIL First Team Catcher and Oregon All Star North Team catcher after a stellar season at Lincoln High School. Rudinsky, who also played football at Lincoln, will play baseball at Lane Community College on a scholarship next year. Lincoln Coach C.J. Watson told the Portland Tribune, “Thomas will have a lot of success in the NWACC, and will likely move on to Division 1 baseball.” Rudinsky also played football at Lincoln for four years, basektball for three, and is an avid skier and cyclist. He has taken week-long cycling trips in both the Northwest and Switzerland.

Junior member Gordon Lam won the U15 division of the Rosebud Junior Gold Tournament in August. More than 170 juniors from across the country participated in the event. As a goldlevel tournament, only the nation’s top players qualify. Lam also finished second in a gold-level tournament in San Francisco in June.

He is currently ranked No. 14 in the country in his age group. Lam, who trains with Squash Pros Ashley Read and Julian Illingworth, will be a freshman at Catlin Gabel School this fall. He has been involved in the MAC Squash program for about six years. When Lam is not competing, he enjoys playing golf, wood turning and volunteering at squash camps at the club.

Junior member Nicole Prall served as a ballperson during the Davis Cup matches between the U.S. and Croatia at Tualatin Hills Tennis Center in July. Prall, 11, was the youngest member of the 18-person squad. She was among 72 people who tried out to be a ballperson for the event, and had to display speed, ball-handling skills and an understanding of the game. Prall will attend sixth grade at West Sylvan Intermediate School this fall. Her favorite subject is math and she plays trumpet in the band. She plays tennis, alpine ski races and rock climbs. Prall is on the MAC Ski Team, MAC Climbing Team and plays USTA Jr. Team Tennis. She dreams about making the US Olympic Ski Team.

For the second consecutive year, husband-and-wife team Lori and Darryl Bernhardt have led their respective USTA teams to Sectional Championships.

Darryl captained the men’s 3.5 18+ team that advanced to sectionals in Spokane and made it to the final round in early August, and the men’s 3.5 40+ team that won Local Area playoffs and was headed to Sectional playoffs in Spokane when The Winged M went to press. Lori captained the Women’s 4.0 18+ team that advanced to Local Area playoffs and the Women’s 4.0 40+ team that won Local Area playoffs and also headed to Spokane in late August. What began years ago as a fun activity now has Darryl and Lori Bernhardt traveling with racquets and friends in an annual quest to United States Tennis Association Nationals. Lori began playing tennis in the 90s for enjoyment and exercise. She embraced the game and the competition. The first USTA team Lori joined in 1999 played well enough to earn a berth at the National Championships. That experience unleashed her competitive spirit. After watching Lori play over the years, Darryl decided to take up the sport and joined a USTA team in 2011. Ask either of them about tennis, and the first thing they mention is playing with a great team. “The most rewarding aspect of being involved with MAC tennis has been making friendships and sharing the team camaraderie,” Lori says.

Sunset Bistro Open on Weekends This year, we were reminded that Oregon summers are unpredictable. In 2016, the Sunset Bistro and Splash were only closed a handful of days due to the weather. This summer, it was more difficult to predict openings and closings. When Sunset Bistro and Splash have been open they have been well attended and savored.

Even with the unpredictable weather this summer Sunset Bistro and Splash offered members a great outdoor venue to enjoy with friends. In the coming years, we hope to continue to improve the kitchen and service infrastructure, making it easier to open Sunset Bistro and Splash earlier in the season.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, Sunset Bistro and Splash will transition to weekend hours, weather permitting. Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6, Sunset Bistro and Splash will be open from 4-9 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, through Friday, Sept. 23.

Labor Surcharge Begins in September

I

n the July and August editions of The Winged M, there were articles informing the membership of a new 3 percent labor surcharge being instituted in September.

The labor surcharge is designed to offset the state-approved increase in Oregon’s minimum wage, which began in July. Portland businesses are looking at different strategies to account for the 21.6 percent increase in minimum wage by July of 2017. In an effort to be fiscally responsible, the club feels the labor surcharge is the most transparent way to offset some of the expense. The surcharge is not intended to be a gratuity.

The club has many long-tenured employees working in catering and in the restaurants. The bonds built with members over the years is part of what makes MAC special.

The club elected to not move to a flat wage for service staff in the restaurants, which means gratuities are still an essential part of their compensation. The longevity of staff working in the Food and Beverage Department is a testament to MAC being an exceptional place to work.

Some have asked, “Why don’t you raise pricing to offset this increase?” The hospitality industry is on the verge of major changes due to shifting wage and hour laws.

As only one of seven states that does not have a tip credit, Oregon’s base wage for front-of-house staff is one of the highest in the country. The wage increase will have a ripple effect across the vast majority of businesses, including farmers, food producers and suppliers. In reality, we are already experiencing the impact of increased prices and will continue to as wages proceed to rise.

It was reasoned that having a small surcharge paid by catering customers and Sports Pub and Men’s Bar diners was an even-handed approach in budgeting for 2017. We appreciate our employees’ and the membership’s understanding during this transition. WM

Wine Dinner with Domaine Serene This special wine dinner includes six courses paired with wines from Domaine Serene and their recently acquired properties in Burgundy, France under the name Château de la Crée.

Courses include a Kiyokawa Apple and Pear Salad, Crispy Paella Croquettes, Cornish Game Hen, Blackened Zabuton and more, each paired with a wine from Château de la Crée or Domaine Serene. The dinner at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29 in Men’s Bar East, is open to only 20 people. The cost is $130 per person, gratuity surcharge not included.

Members may order these wines that night only for a special price below retail. Make reservations at theMAC.com or call At Your Service at 503-517-7235. FB640

Ox Cookbook Beer Dinners Back in October Dinner Beer dinners return to the Sports Pub featuring breweries that have not yet visited MAC. Hood River’s Logsdon Farm visits Thursday, Oct. 20, Portland’s new Zoiglhaus Brewing Co. is on tap Thursday, Nov. 17, and there is a Winter Ale Takeover in November. See the October Winged M for more details. Reservations are not accepted.

Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez-Denton are redefining our understanding of grilled cuisine at their aptly named Ox Restaurant, where the menu is defined as “Argentine-by-way-ofPortland.” They join the MAC culinary team for a cookbook dinner Thursday, Nov. 3. See the October Winged M for more details.

How Jeeves became well mannered.

Jeeves is a good boy, although he wasn’t always that way.

Not that he was a bad dog — no dogs are bad dogs — but he, and his companions, needed a little help.

That’s where Tanya Roberts comes in. She’s one of Oregon Humane Society’s many animal training experts, and whatever behavior problem you have, they can help. Want to teach your puppy basic manners? A kitty that seems to go everywhere but the litterbox? We can can help you solve it.

Whether you adopted from us or not, the Oregon Humane Society offers classes, training and a FREE help line that you can call to figure out why the heck your pet is acting that way. FIND OUT MORE oregonhumane.org/jeeves

They also help pet owners who may not have enough resources. They’ll tell the down-on-his-luck farmer about the hay bank so that his horse will have plenty to eat. They’ll talk to a dog owner about the importance of shade, water, and shelter—and then mention the weekly food bank down the street.

A RISING TIDE OF LOVE When you get right down to it, the reason that Oregon is the best place for pets is that Oregonians love and honor animals.

It’s working with state legislators to pass laws that reflect that belief. It’s teaching veterinarians who can bring that to every animal—and person—they encounter.

MAC Volunteer Heroes by Kirsten Leonard, MACREACH Leslie Vanbellinghen had an idea. As she and her Early Bird friends emptied their lockers for the remodel, they unearthed things no longer needed. Leslie looked for a recipient and Rose Haven Women’s Shelter got the lucky call.

The first donation was made before the towel bins were out!

Pounds of new toiletries, new packages of razors and deodorant, 50 pairs of tennis shoes and 20 pairs of flip-flops. Home closets were emptied, including hanging clothes with price tags attached.

All donations were washed, folded and boxed. And the ladies of the locker room smiled.

One bin was filled and a trip was made. Another bin, another trip, followed by another with Leslie as the driver. The staff of Rose Haven, which offers services to improve the lives of homeless and abused women and children, offloaded and handed out clothes … and smiled.

The women loved the project. Their “Party with a Purpose,” held in the women’s locker room with a table and snacks, numbered more than 50 between the morning hours of 6:30 and 11 a.m.

And lest MACREACH think they invented the idea of volunteering, Leslie corrects, “The Early Birds have always gone outside these walls!”

Thanks for caring, ladies.

Hit and Runs on Parked Cars

The lazy days of summer are winding down, and with increased club activity comes a more crowded garage. Please be respectful of parking rules; they are an important part of keeping the club a safe and respectful place.

Parking violations result in either a warning ticket or a fine to the member’s account.

Each violation in a calendar year counts toward progressive sanctioning as shown in the table below.

Fine amounts are based on all violations issued to a member account in a calendar year, regardless of the vehicle or driver.

Recently, the club has experienced an uptick in hit and runs on parked cars. If you damage a parked and unattended vehicle while driving your own, please leave a note with your contact information on the affected vehicle. As a courtesy, you also may notify the manager on duty of the incident.

There are security cameras throughout the garage, and in many cases, hit and runs on parked cars are captured on video or witnessed by bystanders. When a parked vehicle is damaged by a hit and run, the matter may be referred to the House Committee. Members found in violation of perpetrating a hit and run on a parked car in the garage may face suspension and other sanctions.

In Memoriam Patricia ‘Patti’ Jo Abraham April 7, 1936-July 10, 2016 Patricia Jo Abraham passed away peacefully July 10, 2016, in her home with her family at the age of 80.

She was born April 7, 1936, in Great Falls, Montana, the second of four siblings. Sittee, as those close to her knew her, was a generous soul spending most of her last years with her family and grandchildren or attending their activities. She loved visiting with company, playing bridge, watching basketball and cooking for big crowds.

She is survived by her children: daughter Leslie (Ron) Keller, son Michael, son Matthew, daughter Lori (Steve) Lane, son Philip Jr., son Todd (Regina) and daughter Melissa Hartnell. She cherished her grandchildren, Joshua, Jacob, Justine, Alyx, Amirah, Michael Jr., Caleb, Payton, Claire Marie, Philip III, Tiana, Jamie, Amari, Logan, Todd Jr. and Bogdan. She was preceded in death by her husband, the Honorable Philip T. Abraham; brother, Mike Forzley; and sister, Darlene Harris, and is survived by sister, Jonalee Elske.

Stephen Bruce Carter Aug. 14, 1943-June 28, 2016 Senior family member Stephen B. Carter, longtime Portland insurance executive and active communities volunteer, passed away June 28. He was 72.

Steve was born Aug. 14, 1943, in Portland, the son of Richard N. and Helen (Johnson) Carter. He spent his early years in the Rose City neighborhood, attending Fernwood Grade School and Grant High School through his freshman year, but the premature deaths of both parents brought a move to Chicago where he lived with relatives. He graduated from Chicago’s Homewood-Flossmoor High School and attended the University of Illinois for one year, until 1965, when the longing for his hometown became so great that Steve hitchhiked back to Portland. He enrolled at Portland State College, earning his bachelor’s degree and M.B.A. Steve met and married the love of his life, Judith (Hunter), in 1966. Their 50th anniversary would have been celebrated July 2, 2016, and the couple welcomed two daughters, Shelley and Karen, with Steve happily choosing to make family his life’s greatest priority. He also excelled in business, and was proud that his first employer, Standard Insurance, which he joined in 1969, was where he spent his entire nearly 38-year professional career. Steve helped blaze the trail in transforming Standard into a customerbased organization.

Steve brought the same passion and skill to serving the community. He loved mentoring business students and volunteering for community organizations. He was a longtime supporter and chairman of the board of the Serendipity Center, a Portland nonprofit therapeutic school serving at-risk students; a member of the board of directors of Camp Fire Columbia; a member of the leadership panel of the Providence St. Vincent Brain and Spine Institute; and served on the advisory board of the KEX Kids Fund. He was a member of Multnomah Athletic Club and St. John Fisher Parish.

If Steve excelled in business and volunteerism, he was an absolute champion when it came to friendships and having fun. An engaging conversationalist with a good sense of humor, he brightened the lives of all who knew him. An avid hiker, he looked forward to annual guys’ backpacking trips to the West’s most scenic and challenging mountain regions.

As an enthusiastic cook, he was the instigator of many unique dinner parties, in which the men prepared the meals for their wives. Active in retirement, Steve founded a men’s book club, and enjoyed extensive travel with Judy and his daughters, with Hawaii and cruising as favorite destinations. He also loved reading, movies, Ducks football and, as always, spending time with his family. Through the years, he maintained contact with the countless friends he made at Standard, and looked forward to his weekly cribbage group and lunches with the S-O-Bs – the Standard Old Boys.

Steve is survived by his wife, Judy; daughters, Shelley and Karen; brother, Richard (Marilyn); and sister, Marcia (Byron). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Stephen Carter Scholarship Fund at the Serendipity School of Portland.

Earle M. Chiles Feb. 4, 1933-June 23, 2016 Senior preferred member and Portland businessman and philanthropist Earle M. Chiles passed away on June 23, 2016. He was 83.

Earle was the CEO of Earle Chiles and Affiliated Companies and president of the Chiles Foundation. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he was the son of Earle A. and Virginia (Hughes) Chiles. Earle received his undergraduate degree from Menlo College and pursued graduate studies in business administration at Stanford University. His father, Earle A. Chiles, who was the stepson of local supermarket pioneer Fred Meyer, served as president of Fred Meyer Inc., from 1955 to 1968. In 1949, his father also established the Chiles Foundation.

The younger Earle was the executive director of the foundation from 1968 to 1983 before

becoming president. The foundation benefited thousands of Oregonians over the years through its grants to nonprofit organizations, especially in the fields of higher education and medical research. Earle and the Chiles Foundation made significant donations to such institutions as Portland State University, Harvard University, Stanford University, and Boston University. But he was especially connected with the University of Portland, where he first met the priests and brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross as a young child.

In 1984, the Chiles Foundation provided the lead gift to construct the Earle A. and Virginia H. Chiles Center, which ushered in a new era for the university, as it quickly became a cultural and athletic center not only for the campus, but also the region.

Earle was a major supporter of Pilot athletics, with the Chiles Foundation providing funding for its programs and student-athletes.

In 2011, the Chiles Foundation supported the expansion of the Chiles Center and the renovation of its locker facilities. In addition to athletics, the Chiles Foundation contributed to the University’s Rev. Chester Pru Prusynski Endowed Scholarship in Accounting to honor the priest who was a dear friend of Earle’s.

He also quietly assisted Campus Ministry, gifting one of the 14 bells that ring out from the iconic Bell Tower, and providing for many years, the floral arrangements in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher.

“Earle was such a strong supporter and champion of Providence and the patients we serve,” said Laurie Kelley, chief development officer, Providence Foundations in Oregon. “We will honor his legacy by continuing to seek new scientific discoveries and treatments that will help create healthier communities.”

Earle gave generously of his time to a host of organizations. He was a member of the University of Portland’s Board of Regents (which he joined in 1975); an honorary member of the advisory board of the Institute of International Education in San Francisco; a senator of the board at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany; a past advisory board member of Menlo College; and a past board member of the Graduate Schools of Business at Stanford and Harvard universities. He was a trustee emeriti and overseer of Boston University and overseer emeriti of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; a lifetime member of the board of the Oregon Symphony Association; and a life trustee of the High Desert Museum in Bend.

His devotion and generosity resulted in many awards and distinctions throughout his life. The University of Portland granted Earle an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service Continued on page 22

GARRISON HULLINGER interior design 22 | The Wınged M |

Dec. 23, 1932-July 26, 2016 Laurelei “Laurie” Marguerite Conway died peacefully at her home in Wilsonville on July 26. She was 83.

Laurie was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the oldest of five children of Orval and Leona Chaney. She was raised in Twin Falls, Idaho and came to Portland, for college where she graduated from Marylhurst in 1956. She met Morrison “Morrie” A. Conway Jr. in 1956. She loved how he danced, told jokes, and could speak with an Irish brogue. They were married in June 1957.

Laurie taught Home Economics at Grant High School in Portland and later became a full-time mother dedicated to raising her two sons, Morrie and Chris. To her, family was everything. She was devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, her parents, siblings and large extended family. One of her nephews described her as “the glue that held us all together.” She also was a devoted friend. Many have said that she never met a stranger. She was quick with a smile and a hug. She made everyone feel at ease from all walks of life. She loved to learn and had many far-flung interests from Tai Chi to natural healing and was a devout Roman Catholic. She was dedicated to surviving and thriving as a Type 1 diabetic for 57 years. She also had a fondness for all redheads as she was very proud of her own beautiful red hair.

She was preceded in death by her sister Marilyn Hawes, and is survived by her sister Diane Bellaschi and brothers Dave and John Chaney, by her husband of 59 years Morrie Conway Jr., her sons Morrie and Chris and six grandchildren: Morrie, Andrew, Katie, Clare, Caroline and Stefan.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations in her memory to the American Diabetes Association, 611 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

Alan H. Lippman Feb. 13, 1927-May 21, 2016 Senior family member Alan Lippman passed away on May 21 of natural causes.

The son of Anne and N.M. (Ginger) Lippman, Alan attended Lincoln High School, where he excelled in baseball and basketball.

ADMINISTRATIVE Upon graduation in 1945, Alan enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served until his discharge in 1946.

Using the G.I. Bill, Alan enrolled at the University of Oregon and joined the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity with many of his friends and returning veterans. Alan was a history major, and played baseball for the Ducks and began a lifelong connection with the university.

His son, daughter and two grandsons attended Oregon, and Alan held football season tickets for decades.

After graduation, Alan returned to Portland and joined his parents at The Lippman Company, which was then a wholesale carnival supply. During his 50 years with the company, the business grew into the wholesale and retail party supply store it is today at its longtime southeast Portland location.

In April 1951, Alan married Portland native Joan Lewis. Son Steve and daughter Nancy were born in 1953 and 1955 respectively.

Alan joined Multnomah Athletic Club in 1966 and became a mainstay in the handball program for the next 40 years, winning championships at club, state and regional tournaments in both singles and doubles. His favorite tournaments were the Northwest regionals, where he won at the open and masters levels.

Alan retired from The Lippman Company in 2001. He and Joan made yearly trips to Maui, but otherwise stayed near home. After his handball days were behind him, Alan remained a fixture at the Club in the handball gallery and on his stationary bike in the E & C room until his death.

Alan is survived by his wife of 65 years, Joan, son Steve (Vicki), daughter Nancy Visenberg (Joe) and grandsons Marc Lippman, sheridan David Lippman, Michael Visenberg and Jason Visenberg.

Continued from page 23 Don began his career with Leupold & Stevens (L&S). Their son, Greg, was born in 1961.

In 2000, Don retired after a 40-year career at L&S. While there, he held multiple positions, served for 35 years on the board of directors, and was the catalyst for the development of the Family Council and key Family Business Governance policies. Don’s talents, background and business expertise helped to build L&S from a regional manufacturing company to a world-renowned industry leader.

But Don also made sure that he took time to champion some major environmental causes that he cared deeply about. In 1971, during Gov. Tom McCall’s tenure, sustainability became one of Oregon’s hallmarks. Don became the Oregon Environmental Council’s point person for one of their major victories – the adoption of the nickel deposit Bottle Bill that was spread to other states nationally. Don, along with Rich Chambers, led this effort.

Before the bill, “no deposit, no return” bottles and containers made up approximately 40 percent of the roadside litter. Today, they make up only about 6 percent. Don and Ruth Ann lived in the home they built in Lake Oswego, for 35 years. They were married for 42 years when Ruth Ann passed away after a long battle with kidney disease. A few years later, Don met Eunice Noell through an introduction from his niece, Linda Neale. They were married in 1999 and enjoyed spending time working closely together on community projects, while also enjoying their grandchildren, sailing in the San Juan Islands, and traveling through Europe.

In retirement, Don and Eunice also were heavily involved in the development of the Portland Memory Garden located within Ed Benedict Park in east Portland.

Don was preceded in death by wife Ruth Ann and son-in-law Ric Tenneson. He is survived by his wife Eunice, sister Helen Guthrie, half brother and sister Kim Waggoner and Ann McCabe, his daughter Alison Tenneson, his son Greg Waggoner (Lisa), step-son Joel Shrock (Mary Ellen) and his grandchildren Rachel Hillis (Jonathan), Hannah Tenneson, Neeka Rhodes, Allie Rhodes, Ethan Waggoner, Isaac Waggoner and Carson Shrock. His legacy will live on through his family, friends and the good deeds he leaves behind.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions in his name be sent to Oregon Environmental Council, 222 NW Davis St, Suite 309, Portland, OR 97209; Northeast Community Center, 1630 NE 38th Ave Portland, OR 97232; or Portland Memory Garden- 404 SE 80th Ave., Portland, OR 97215. WM

ADMINISTRATIVE ARTS

BE AN ADVOCATE. SPEAK UP FOR A CHILD.

Artist’s Talk Features Acclaimed Sculptor Join the MAC Art Subcommittee for an evening talk by artist Devin Field on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Starting at 5:30 p.m., there will be a no-host bar for a meet and greet with the artist. Field speaks at 6 p.m.

Field is unique among contemporary large-scale metal sculptors because of the level of articulation he achieves in directly fabricated steel. His work is cut, forged, pressed, welded, ground and polished using thick plate steels. Predominantly commissioned for public sites, these sculptures are not simple abstract designs; rather they are complicated, graceful representations of the natural and built environments. Each is unique, usually site specific and always poignant in its message.

The art of Devin Laurence Field brings together universal and archetypal symbolism, the vernacular of a given site or culture, and natural forms to communicate ideas about the evolution of the complex relationship between the built environment and the natural world. The sculpture Milky Way can be found in Bend, while Three Creeks One Will is at the Beaverton City Hall. Field’s Infinity Circle also sits in MAC’s Turnaround.

The event is free but registration is appreciated for planning purposes. Visit theMAC.com to register of call AT Your Service at 503-517-7235.

DINNER

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

Indeed, ingredients themselves are the cornerstone of Boulot’s ongoing mission: To surpass his own best recipe and menu creations for the club’s five eateries and the roughly 2,000 members he helps feed every day.

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

Like the three prior open-air markets MAC has hosted, Boulot is the idea man behind the execution.The chef says the market offers both the best of Pacific Northwest gustatory Continued on page 39 SEPTEMBER 2016

SEPTEMBER 2016

FARMING WITH PHIL Executive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt became better acquainted with his ingredients the hard way – he spent a summer growing them

by Jenn Director Knudsen xecutive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt is not the condescending type. But he does treat MAC members like children.

At least, where their knowledge of food’s progenitor is concerned.

“I’m not going to have my kids grow up thinking food is from New Seasons or Safeway for God’s sake,” Oswalt, 37, says.

“My kids’ll know when you can eat fresh cherry tomatoes.” He continues, “My job is to educate people” about all things food, particularly where it comes from and the season in which items are available.

Oswalt came to MAC in 2009 nearly simultaneous to Chef Philippe Boulot. The pair has worked together at the club and elsewhere since 2001, and they share a culinary philosophy that informs their cuisine, members’ palates, and the Friday, Oct. 14 Farmers Market that he wants people to “experience,” not just attend.

Oswalt says programs like the Farmers’ Market have a “huge impact” on members’ food knowledge. “The reason for doing this is to inform and educate members in seasonality, where their food comes from, and when.”

He’s spent his entire life – starting his own cooking career at age 13 in a family-owned restaurant in Forest Grove – educating himself. And he keeps at it today.

The farming life For years Oswalt dreamed of owning and working on a farm.

Two years ago, he gave it “a dry run.”

To ensure he could take on both the financial and physical responsibilities, he leased land on Canby-based Walnut Hill Farm, an organic operation owned for 30 years by Tim Gilmore.

With the help of his wife, former Food & Beverage administrator Carrie Oswalt, as well as friends and other family members, Oswalt seeded, transferred, and cultivated myriad heirloom plants, including tomatoes, basil, beans, and multitudinous squash and zucchini.

Oswalt marveled over Gilmore, the farm’s proprietor, who is paraplegic. “I have the use of all my limbs,” the chef says, “and I about killed myself.”

Oswalt would rise at 4:30 a.m. to arrive at the farm by sunrise.

“Then I’d farm my face off,” he says poetically, which required picking, watering, weeding, properly storing his bounty, and delivering it to a number of high-end restaurants (like Nel Centro and the Heathman) before showing up to work – usually a few minutes late.

Quittin’ time came around 10 p.m., followed by returning to his Southeast Portland home where he’d “greet the wife, make dinner, have a beer, and then go face down on the bed.”

Since that time, the couple became parents.

In fact, the Oswalts’ first child, Clark, now 2, was born Sept. 2, 2014, “which is just on the south side of peak harvest,” he quips. “I even left the hospital that day to go make a delivery (of tomatoes).

Our small Honda was so loaded with them it nearly touched the ground,” Oswalt says. And about six months ago the family welcomed baby girl Scarlet.

The chef says he and his wife still entertain owning an organic farm.

“We like the look of that lifestyle: Big wooden barn, two old cars parked outside it…” But reality is that dream could be a ways off. These days, he says, “If we get the house cleaned, we’re really excited.”

Back to the kitchen MAC members benefit – whether knowingly or unknowingly – from Oswalt’s farming experience.

“It definitely brings you back to basics,” he explains. “I was French classically trained, and lots of folks manipulate the food,” making foams, dots, purees, creams. “But I prefer food being the way it is.”

“It kind of grounded me to be more ingredient-driven, more than technique-driven,” he continues. “It brings you to enjoy every piece of the plant,” such as squash blossoms early in the season and zucchinis once their time comes.

Members might notice subtle changes to menu classics, such as salads featuring solely stone fruits, or tomatoes, paired with quiet extras to bring out their best flavors. Like creamy burrata to accent the former, and Castelvetrano olives to highlight the latter.

“The menu I was handed when I came here was not particularly interesting or seasonal,” Oswalt says. In tandem with ongoing food education, one of the chef team’s main goals is to “try to reinvent the classics.”

Today’s liver and onions is no longer your grandmother’s MAC menu staple.

Wild mushrooms, calf liver, and crispy onion rings have transformed the time-honored, post-Labor Day dish.

Says Oswalt: “We sell the bejesus out of that.” Goal met. WM

The Northwest’s temperate climate and thriving coastal fisheries make Oregon a cook’s paradise.

MAC Farmers Market Continued from page 29 treasures and club-wide departmental cooperation.

Food & Beverage, Member Services, and Communications coordinated efforts to make the Oct. 14 market a reality. While a Club event, it is open to the public to bring together members and MAC’s neighbors. And what better vehicle than top-drawer foods?

In his seventh year at MAC, Boulot says he leans upon the French method of cooking, which relies on the best of local, seasonal surfeit and forging relationships with the farmers responsible for it.

“Oregon is a cookie-cutter of Normandy,” says the native of Caen, France. “Same microclimates, same ingredients.”

Like seafood and shellfish, beef, wine, honeys, mushrooms, tomatoes, and other prolific produce.

“Once you get involved with Oregon ingredients, you have to learn it all,” including farmers’ lifestyles and challenges, and where and how to access what they grow, Boulot says.

A member volunteer of the Oregon Beef Commission, Boulot promotes everything edible of Oregon wherever he goes, domestically and internationally.

And now he’s promoting it – and the collective hard work of staff – right in his backyard – or more accurately, the club’s front yard.

“The cooking is simple,” he said.

“It’s the ingredients that make the cooking excellent.” WM

He has done live celebrity performances for Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Johnny Carson, Henry Mancini and Frank Sinatra. MAC also is very lucky to have him as its eight-year director of the MelloMacs mixed choral group.

Barbara Lusch Jazz has a unique and compelling way with a song that goes straight to your heart. Her new recording, “Rock Me Sweet,” is a surprising and magnetic reinterpretation of some of the bestloved rock anthems of the ’80s.

Lusch has transformed well-known hits by rock icons such as Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Bono into sophisticated, sexy, and soulful songs.

After two back-to-back albums and more than two years of heavy touring in the western U.S. and Europe, Worth, a bohemian blues hop Portland-based folk band, has returned to the woodshed to begin work on the third record and keystone of its musical trilogy.

BALLADEERS

Building on 75 Years of Musical Joy “I love these guys, I really do!” says Scott Tuomi, Director of the Balladeers men’s singing group.

The feeling is mutual, as Tuomi and accompanist Paul Nelsen lead the Balladeers into a new season that includes holiday programs, community concerts and support for several MAC events.

Tuomi is proud of the group’s musical growth and members’ willingness to push themselves to new levels, enjoying their camaraderie and good humor through the learning process.

The Balladeers 75th Anniversary Concert in April drew ovations and rave reviews, featuring a guest appearance from professional operatic tenor Brian Tierney and several Celtic folk pieces new to the Balladeers.

Capping the season was the Balladeers’ second annual appearance at the Korean War Memorial in Wilsonville in June, commemorating the 65th year since the outbreak of the Korean War and the sacrifices and victories of its participants. Along with several American patriotic pieces, the group performed the honored Korean-language folk song Arirang,

which left the ceremony’s American- and Korean-born participants visibly moved.

Last season, the group added several new members, and it continues its open invitation to all male MAC singers to join its grand fellowship.

Moving forward, the group plans to expand its repertoire and extend its brand of musical joy beyond MAC – especially to underserved and needful audiences in our community.

As Scott remarks, “It’s good fun, it’s good music, and it’s even good for your brain!”

The 2016-17 season officially kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 8. Male members who are interested in contributing to a moving musical experience should drop in on a Balladeers rehearsal at 7:15 p.m. Thursdays in the third-floor Activities Classroom. There are no auditions required. Call Mandy Beasley at 503-517-7272 or email mbeasley@themac. com for more information.

BOOK GROUPS

MAC Author Joins the Evening Readers The MAC Evening Literary Group welcomes MAC member Jim McDermott to its September meeting. McDermott, a Portland attorney, will discuss his first novel, Bitter is the

ACTIVITIES Wind. This story of sorrow and joy takes us to working class life in 1970s America. The book is a father-son story that reminds us how hard it has always been to achieve success for those who were not handed success on a silver platter.

The reader explores the purpose of work, the meaning of freedom, and the satisfactions of parental sacrifice. The story is one of American aspiration and accomplishment.

In some respects, the book mirrors McDermott’s life growing up in a workingclass family in upstate New York. His life has taken him from working on an assembly line to becoming a successful New York City attorney to a Portland resident and MAC member.

Bitter is the Wind has received favorable national recognition. The Evening Literary Readers are delighted to have the author share his debut novel with members and guests at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27.

CULTURE AND STYLE

A Woman’s Guide to Great Travel Author and travel expert Marcia Lynn Miller visits MAC to discuss her newly released book, You Go Girls: The Woman’s Guide to Great Travel. The book offers help for women young and old, solo or together, on long or short trips.

Miller dishes on the tips, hints and tricks she has created or learned from other sisters on the road while traveling through 70 countries.

Miller speaks at a luncheon from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.

She will talk about some of her favorite travel tips and products, starting with preparing for a trip, curating a wardrobe, creating a beauty bundle, how to be prepared for an emergency and how to ease the return home.

Miller has earned the title of travel expert.

After training as a travel agent, she was frustrated because her husband did not share her passion for travel. She solved that problem by founding her own tour company to cater to the specific travel needs of women. Television, radio and print media seek her out for her travel knowledge, and she has written for magazines such as Fabulously 50+ and Curvy Connections, and been quoted by people such as Pauline Frommer, award-winning journalist Mia Taylor, and the Kiplinger Retirement Report.

A book signing will follow. Books are available for purchase at $19.95. The book is a great gift item for any traveling woman. The luncheon costs $24 for members and $26 for guests. Register online at theMAC.com or call At Your Service at 503-517-7235.

ost Portlanders have favorite gorge hikes and brewpubs. But gorge towns are changing fast, and there are lots of new places and routes to discover in the Columbia River Gorge, one of the nation’s first National Scenic Areas.

Join MAC member and guidebook author Laura O. Foster at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 21, as she shows how easy it is to have a weekend’s worth of eclectic adventures in the gorge, on the trails, in the towns, on the water, along back roads and even in the air.

Beaches, bike paths, historic downtowns, viewpoints, wine touring, urban walking routes, classic hikes and scenic driving tours are some of the ways the book shows how to have a blast in the gorge.

Explore Hood River With the Author

Tour Sam Hill’s wonderfully bizarre clifftop mansion-turned-museum or mountain bike scenic trails, below. Laura Foster, right, leads an urban trek in October. offers a rare chance to drive the Maryhill Loops Road, Hill’s winding, experimental roadway that predates Oregon’s Historic Columbia River Highway. A tour of Hill’s wonderfully bizarre clifftop mansionturned-museum, a vintage car show, and art, craft and food vendors amid the eastern gorge’s sculptural landscapes offer a real escape from Portland.

Another fine reason to head to the gorge is Hood River’s Harvest Fest, Friday, Oct. 14 through Sunday, Oct. 16. The town’s locally produced fruit, beer, wine and spirits make it a mecca for gourmands.

The festival is at the riverfront Event Site, with art, craft, food and wine vendors.

From the event site, you can walk out to the spectacular spit, a huge sand deposit spreading from the mouth of the Hood River into the Columbia.

Foster’s first guidebook was 2005’s Portland Hill Walks. She was a MAC Walking and Hiking member coach for five years, focusing on urban explorations. With this book, her seventh regional guide, she worked with Friends of the Columbia Gorge to spotlight adventures in and around gorge communities. One highlight of the book: first looks at the emerging gorge-wide trail network that will eventually connect downtowns, orchards, vineyards, inns and brewpubs with hiking and biking trails. Her books are for sale in the M-porium. WM

Join Laura Foster on an 8-mile urban trek in Hood River at 10 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 15. Starting with a look at the town’s rapidly evolving waterfront, head uphill to explore a bit of its lively downtown then walk higher up quiet streets to spectacular oak-shaded bluffs above the Columbia. The turnaround point: big views at Ruthton County Park, home to a few surly goats, and a future terminus for a new section of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. Return via different streets, and end at the riverfront Harvest Festival. Contact lauraobfoster@gmail.com for questions or to RSVP.

Healthy Hips Help Prevent Falls Wellness presentation addresses hip health

E

very year, more than 250,000 people are hospitalized due to hip fractures, which are primarily caused by falls. Following a hip fracture, 15-20 percent of patients lose their ability to live independently within the first year, and the six-month mortality rate, post fracture, is up to 20 percent. It is possible to decrease the risk of hip fracture via proper screening, exercise, vision checks and diet. Join Dr. Richard Gellman and Physical Therapist Kathi McCoy, for a free MAC Wellness presentation on hip fracture prevention and an overview of fracture repair and recovery at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26.

Gellman shares his expertise on hip fractures that occur in people over 65. Most injuries usually result from a ground level fall in the home and women are almost twice as likely to suffer an injury. On average, the risk of a hip fracture is about 1 percent each year after the age of 65. Gellman provides an overview of hip fracture classification and management. McCoy provides insight into hip-fracture prevention strategies, strengthening and balance exercises, and physical therapy rehabilitation that follows the surgical treatment of hip fractures.

Gellman is an orthopedic surgeon with Summit Orthopaedics in Portland. Since 2001, he has practiced at Emanuel Hospital after completing his orthopedic residence at the University of California, San Francisco, and a foot and ankle fellowship in Charlotte, North Carolina, Gellman developed an interest in orthopaedic trauma at the University of Texas, in Houston in 2008. He is also a member of the International Geriatric Fracture Society.

McCoy is an orthopedic physical therapist and certified manual therapist who was the director of Vanderbilt University’s teaching hospital before founding West Portland Physical Therapy Clinic in the early 1980s. She and her WPPTC colleagues manage the wellness of most of the major dance companies in Portland, including Oregon Ballet Theatre, and provide musculoskeletal screening for injury prevention to multiple middle schools, high schools and universities in the area. She also is a certified first responder who volunteers with NGOs in crisis around the world.

Rio Games Showcase the Benefits of Cupping

I

, like most Americans, enjoyed watching the Olympic games in Rio. I have to say, I am a sad sap for the human interest stories.

One story I found so interesting was how many of the top athletes treat their aches and bruises with cupping and acupuncture.

We can argue the validity of acupuncture and cupping until the cows come home. By no means do I think acupuncture and cupping can treat serious ailments like broken bones or dislocated joints, but I can say that acupuncture/dry needling (a form of acupuncture) and cupping may help with muscles and joints overworked by exercise.

We’ve all experienced some muscle soreness from activity or sleeping in a bad position. While we are not going to run to our primary care physician, we would sure like a treatment that gets us

out of pain and moving again. Of course, R.I.C.E. (rest, ice compression, elevation) is a tried and true form of therapy, but you may want to consider traditional Chinese medicine as well.

Cupping, which some of the athletes are using in Rio, is about applying a heated or suctioned glass cup to sore muscles. The suction on the cup causes the skin and the underlying tissues to separate. It basically sucks the skin up and allows blood flow and lymphatic drainage to come into the tissues. This allows for faster healing times and relaxes overworked muscles. There is no study that ultimately proves the efficacy of cupping but there is none to disapprove it either. If you’ve been suffering with muscle aches here and there, maybe cupping or acupuncture/dry needling is something to try out for yourself. Placebo or not, if you get off the table and feel better, who cares?

PILATES

Skier and Snowboard Pilates Circuit Workshop M ountain athletes can benefit from preparing for the season by strengthening their core, quads, hamstrings and glutes, as well as improving balance and coordination. Instructor Mandee Pearson holds a Skier and Snowboard Pilates Circuit Workshop over a period of eight weeks this fall that prepares mountain sport enthusiasts for the season.

Why is Pilates a great preparation for skiing and snowboarding? Pilates equipment is spring-loaded, meaning resistance must happen both as you push and pull, while keeping the movement controlled and done with precision. Since most of skiing is eccentric work, or lifting when the muscle lengthens, exercises on the Pilates equipment can be highly effective in training for mountain sports. Resisting the downward pressure can help mimic when you are going into a turn on the mountain, with inertia and gravity pushing you into the ground. There are several pieces of Pilates equipment, and the following are used in this year’s circuit.

• Jumpboard – Helps to train for explosiveness, which is necessary to ski fast and push hard out of turns. The Pilates jumpboard is an attachment to the Pilates reformer that turns it into

About the Workshop Noon Sundays and Thursdays, from Oct. 23 through Dec. 8 in the Pilates Studio Limited to six participants.

• Prior Pilates equipment experience required – start private or semi-private sessions now to ensure you are up to speed in time for the workshop.

Pilates rates apply.

a horizontal jumping machine. The spring tension takes gravity out of the equation and creates less tension on the joints than the ground.

• Core Align – As a skier, it is crucial to know how to access the deep core muscles. The Core Align method simulates functional movement and sports such as walking and skiing through standing exercises on an apparatus with moving carts. These exercises improve balance, stability and core strength.

• Cadillac Tower – The tower is a vertical unit that has a variety of spring attachments that provide an extra challenge to your core while working the arms, upper back and glutes. Most of the exercises in this portion of the circuit are completed standing, training your body to maintain an upright position as you propel down the mountain. This is like a two-in-one for muscle groups – the arms are working, but if your core isn’t engaged, you won’t be able to stay upright.

During the session, participants move among the various Pilates equipment, staying on each piece for 4-minute segments before moving along to the next piece of equipment in a 55-minute class. The workshop, now in its third year, has been popular in the past. “Mandee’s circuit class strengthened my core for fall line performance,” says member Cindy Terry, a past participant of the workshop who has continued with Pilates sessions, even after the workshop. “The core work gave me the awareness to stay centered over my skis all season.”

This class has a lot to offer and is done on equipment unique to Pilates, meaning that those members who are new to Pilates must learn how to safely use and perform some of the basic exercises prior to the workshop. This will allow participants to progress and move through the circuit without stopping or waiting for specific direction. Pearson will move through the stations offering cues and assistance, but the exercises and form should feel familiar, as they encompass the principles of Pilates. Because of this, it is important that participants either have prior Pilates experience or take several private or semi-private sessions before the start of the workshop.

GOLF

MACREACH Golf Project Benefits Scholarship Program D uring the club’s 125th anniversary year, committees are honoring many rich traditions at MAC, one of which is philanthropy. The Golf Committee choose the Evans Scholar Program for its MACREACH philanthropy project. The program provides college housing and tuition for those with financial need.

The project took place in early July at the CAMBIA Portland Classic. Seventeen volunteers assisted with marshal duties for the golf tournament on the tee box, green and fairway. Volunteers worked half-day and full-day shifts at the event, primarily marshaling hole 16. Due to a shortage of volunteers at the tournament, some MAC volunteers assisted on other holes as well. The 17 volunteers provided 140 hours of service in four days. MAC golf also provided financial support for the event by paying for all our volunteer uniforms for the event. It was an amazing experience to have front-row seats at a tour event. Although we were not supposed to take photos during play, some of us did have short chats with players as they waited on the tee box for the green to clear. Many MAC volunteers said they had a blast and would like to make it an annual event.

Club Championship Playing in a golf tournament is an outdoor, cathedral event, marked by spirit. By the end of the tournament you have played each hole the same as any other player in the tournament, and thus share with them the kinship of having walked the same miraculous path, however it may have been, that day. With this spirit in mind, please mark your calendar and reserve your entry into MAC Golf Club Championships for this day, the morning of Sunday, Sept. 11, at OGA. The event beings at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. The price is $76.50 riding and $60.50 walking and includes golf, practice balls,

tee prizes, lunch and awards. Women’s and men’s divisions include open, mid-am (18 and older), senior (50 and older) and super senior (60 and older for women, 65 and older for men).

Gear Up for Gearhart Golf Getaway!

Get ye’ to the beach, play golf at Gearhart Golf Links.

Mark your calendar and tell your friends to reserve the surely sunny date of Saturday, Oct. 1, to play golf and participate in other beachy social shenanigans for the annual Gearhart MAC Golf Getaway weekend social extravaganza-o-rama! The Golf Committee has put together a national-election-year-budgetfriendly package with Gearhart Golf Links, which includes golf, dinner and prizes. Non-MAC-member guests are invited and welcome to participate in this contest of sport, spirit and golf-fellowship. Gearhart event chair-extraordinaire and Golf Committee member Erick Zuber greets you and your fellow participants at check-in with timely, local knowledge of potential post-event social revelries (non-golfers and designated drivers welcome).

Gearhart Golf Links, the oldest continual golf course west of the Mississippi, is only 5,741 yards from the white tees, so beginners and players of all levels will find joy from tee to green. Jason Bangild, the general manager and director of golf, sees everyone off for the 1 p.m. shotgun start. To add to the fun, the event will be a team competition using a shamble format, where the team’s best drive on each hole will be selected, and each player will be playing his or her ball for the remainder of the hole.

ATHLETICS BASKETBALL

Junior Boys Basketball Season Kicks Off The MAC Junior Basketball Program aims to compete with the top junior teams in the region this season. The goal of this program is to provide members with competitive experiences that consistently challenge the players to train, practice, prepare and compete at all levels.

All skill levels are encouraged to participate either through our select or developmental teams. Players are expected to consider the program their priority during the 2016-17 basketball season.

The junior basketball subcommittee has been working hard over the past several months and has made a few changes that will make our program stronger.

Fall Clinics Take part in a fast-paced, fun environment guided by coaches with over 50 years of experience during this year’s fall basketball clinics.

Each clinic provides your hooper with the tools and skillset to become a better shooter, passer, defender and overall threat on the basketball floor. Led by Hall of Fame basketball player Ryan Menten, it is our goal to ensure all of our basketball players are provided with a positive and enhanced experience.

The following fall clinics are for boys and girls in third through eighth grade from 6:30 -8:30 p.m. The cost is $10 per session: • Ryan Menten/Marshall Cho, Sept. 7 CJB005

• Marshall Cho/Herb Brown, Sept. 14 CJB006

Competitive Teams MAC fields one competitive black team per grade. These teams are for the more serious, experienced players who strive to compete at the highest levels of play. All practices and games are mandatory, and players need to make MAC basketball their priority when scheduling other activities. There is no expectation or guarantee of equal playing time. The goal of our competitive teams is to be among the top youth basketball programs in the area and provide athletes with opportunities to compete at an elite level within their age group.

Developmental Teams The developmental (red) teams focus on developing players’ skills and knowledge of basketball so they are successful and advance to the next level of play. The red team is made up of the next eight to 10 players not selected on the competitive black team in

66 | The Wınged M |

each age group, in third through sixth grades.

There is an effort to provide balanced playing time with a strategy to win games. The coach develops individual and team skills.

Please note that a coach may move a player between red and black teams midseason if he or she feels it is necessary.

Preseason Parents Meeting There is a parent orientation meeting for anyone new to MAC Junior Basketball Program. All new parents are expected to attend to learn more about the MAC Junior Basketball program and commitment. The meeting is at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.

Evaluations (Please note there are two changes from last year) There will be evaluations for all teams.

Every player who attends the evaluations has an opportunity, but no guarantee, to make a MAC team. The athlete must attend both evaluations in their entirety. There will be two tryouts instead of three, both of which are mandatory. The coaches may have a third, invite-only tryout at their discretion. You must email in advance if you can’t make the two tryouts.

Primary criteria for player selection will be performance at tryouts, in addition to other factors, such as balance of team skills, sportsmanship/attitude, player’s availability, and commitment to making basketball their No.1 athletic priority. MAC member coaches and Court Sports staff will run evaluations.

Evaluations are closed, and only athletes, coaches and MAC staff are allowed in the gyms. Players will show their skills in many different drills and will play in an organized scrimmage. A player can try out for a grade level ahead with approval from Court Sports Supervisor Van Dekoning.

If an athlete is unable to attend evaluations due to an injury (this must be reported and excused by the Junior Basketball SubCommittee prior to tryouts) a roster spot may be left available. However, the player is still required to attend the age-group evaluations.

Coaches/Court Sports staff will then assess these players once they have healed.

Evaluation results and team assignments will be posted on the MAC Junior Basketball web page at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7. If you decide that the MAC program is not right for your child after player evaluations, you must cancel by notifying Dekoning via email at vdekoning@themac.com by 11:59 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 9. At that time, each player is billed their nonrefundable sport team fee of $415 for black and $315 for red teams.

SEPTEMBER 2016

MAC Junior Basketball begins with clinics and tryouts in September.

ATHLETICS HANDBALL

MAC Shows Its Strength in Minnesota Several MAC handball players made the trek to Minnesota in June to play in the 66th annual U.S. Handball Association Four-Wall National Tournament.

It was a tale of a good up-and-coming young player from MAC, Austin Biddle, and one of the club’s all-time greats, Ed Grossenbacher, who won his 52nd national title, this time in doubles.

Biddle, still a teenager, has been flashing great signs of handball expertise for a few years now. He ran into a tough customer from Ireland early in the A class in a losing effort, but used his considerable skills to persist and reach the finals of the B singles class – only to run into the same player again. Biddle put up a great battle and snagged the second-place award. He will be starting his college handball career in the fall and will be looking for the player from Ireland for some payback.

In USHA records, one becomes a Grand Master with 10 national wins. Grossenbacher has earned the title five times over, and is working on reaching the summit with 60 national wins. With 52 already in the bag, he has a great chance.

In 75-plus singles, Grossenbacher pulled off several impressive wins before running into a tough customer from Australia to take second place in that age group. Grossenbacher also knows how to pick his doubles partner. He teamed up with his Australian singles opponent to become the USHA national champs in this age group, defeating a team from Tucson, Arizona, who have played together for years.

FOR GENERATIONS Families have gathered here

With so many great athletic options at the MAC, why should you choose to participate in racquetball? Those down in the sub-basement are obviously biased, but here are three good reasons: First, racquetball is an intensely physical activity that can lead to better fitness, flexibility and power. Racquetball doesn’t focus on just a few muscle groups. Playes must use the whole body, twisting through shots with your back and arms, adding power with your midsection, and using your legs for power and mobility.

Second, racquetball is a great sport for cross training. For tennis players, racquetball has many of the same elements of their chosen sport, but everything seems to move faster. The same need for accurate footwork, anticipation and follow through in racquetball will translate to your tennis game, with the added benefit that practice on a racquetball court can be done solo … and the ball always rolls back to you.

Also, I love the group of people I swim with, and have built meaningful and lasting relationships with all of them (swimmers and coaches alike). My peers motivate and challenge me to do better every day.

Share a swimming moment.

At my very first swim meet, I swam the 100 breaststroke. I remember thinking that it was the longest race ever, and that I never wanted to do it again. To make things worse, I got disqualified! Looking back on it I laugh, because a 100-yard race is nothing! Little did I know the mile would become one of my better races.

Any thoughts you would like to share about swimming?

I would encourage everyone to get involved in a competitive sport like swimming. Swimming has given me a sense of purpose, and a platform on which I set goals and continuously work toward achieving them.

Sure, there are disappointments sometimes, Continued on page 70

ATHLETICS Swim Continued from page 69 but there is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment I get at the end of every swim season of setting and achieving, or even surpassing, my goals, and looking back on all the work I have done to get to that point in my swimming. It makes me feel like I can take on anything that comes my way in the future, in any area of my life!

Favorite events: 200 fly, 400 IM, the mile

Isabella Wallace Pre-senior Squad Firecracker swimmer, Isabella Wallace, 14, is a freshman at Jesuit High School. Wallace has been on the team for two-plus years and is improving rapidly through the age group program. Her progress has been steady. With hard work and dedication, she achieved a spot on the 2015 Oregon All-Star team last summer in Hawaii and (at press time) is waiting to hear if she qualified for the 2016 Oregon All-Star team.

What motivates you?

I am self-motivated. I am determined and wants to be the best swimmer I can be. My parents support me, they take me to all the practices and all the swim meets, but ultimately

it’s up to me. My coaches and my teammates help motivate me to achieve my goals. Having a supportive team also working along-side of me pushes me to want to be better and work harder. I have developed lifelong friends on the team, and even when there is a hard set or a day we have doubles, we know that we are all in this together and helping each other make it to the end. (Knowing that I get to go to Waffle Window after early-morning practice is definitely added motivation.)

Share a swimming moment.

I remember last year at Howard Jones, it was a 12-hour-day meet with prelims and finals, and by Sunday, everyone was exhausted.

I knew that my last race of the day was the 200 breaststroke. Before this race I had two other events. I was about to scratch the race, I was crying and really wanted to go home.

But I decided to bust it out. I swam the 200 breaststroke and got my best time by 10 seconds, and still haven’t beaten that time since last year. This race showed me that I can rise to the occasion and push myself beyond what I think I am capable of.

Any thoughts you would like to share about swimming?

Swimming is not for everyone. You have to be dedicated and disciplined. It is really hard, and you have to put a lot of time into it, even if

Quality collision repair for your luxury automobile.

that means not staying to sleep over at a friend’s house, going home early, or swimming during most of your summer. Even though there are a lot of setbacks, there are a lot of successes and you really have to be in it for the long hall.

Swimming also has allowed me to meet some of my best friends. I spend so much time with them and they are in it with me.

Other things that motivate me to wake up at 6:30 every morning in the summer is having a great coach. Gary Leach is the best coach I have ever had. He pushes me to be my best and he encourages me to work hard and have fun in practice at the same time.

Having Gary on the pool deck whistling and jumping during my race pushes me to go faster. But he is the best when he talks to me after a really bad race and I am really upset.

He knows just the right words to say to cheer me up and help me blow it off.

ATHLETICS Children’s Theater. He has been invited to be part of their traveling outreach troupe, Kids Company, for the past three years.

What motivates you?

I am always motivated by that adrenaline rush I get anytime I do well in a race. Whether it’s getting a personal record, getting first place, or even just beating that person next to me that I was secretly looking at during the race, it always is motivating to know you didn’t fail.

Share a favorite swimming moment.

My favorite swimming moment was the first time I got a qualifying time, and realized that I could be a really good swimmer if I just practiced and committed.

Any thoughts you would like to share about swimming?

Swimming is a great sport that constantly keeps me wanting more. Even when I have a tough practice, Cyndy von Weller makes it fun. Also, it’s one of the only competitive sports that isn’t completely about beating other people. You can just race yourself.

Favorite events?

My two favorite strokes are breaststroke and backstroke. I’d like to say these aren’t my favorite’s strokes because they’re my two best, but that would be a lie. Backstroke and breaststroke are my best strokes, but that’s

not the only reason I like them. They both do not have breathing restrictions such as those in freestyle and butterfly (stupid every other). That’s right, I can breathe freely when I’m swimming these strokes. There are also certain things I like about each stroke individually. For instance, in breaststroke with every stroke you glide, so basically I get a short rest each stroke. Also, when I’m swimming backstroke I don’t feel as confined as I do in a stroke like butterfly. Whenever I’m swimming backstroke I feel like I have a lot of space and I’m not hitting the wall (unless I’m swimming outside.)

Kaeli Chapman What motivates you?

My mom, dad, sister, coaches and teammates are my motivation.

Share a favorite swimming moment.

My favorite swimming moment is when I qualified for state in the 50 backstroke.

Any thoughts you would like to share about swimming?

Since I have started swimming at MAC, I feel like I’ve made so many new friends, and I feel like I’m part of something bigger.

wonder it’s the most popular racket sport in the world. Table tennis, like chess, involves strategy: It’s easy to learn the basics, but it can take a lifetime to master. Table tennis stimulates the brain, promotes quick thinking, and improves hand-eye coordination. It is a low-injury-risk sport that keeps one fit and flexible, and increases agility, flexibility and reaction time without putting severe stress on joints.

125 Designing Meals That Meet Member Expectations

I

have found the most intense spot in Multnomah Athletic Club. A place of big personalities, big money and high stakes, it’s a world without margin for error. To think of it in athletic terms, imagine a constant playoff game, day after day, night after night.

Welcome to the club’s sprawling kitchen, located on the east end of the building, near the banquet halls and tucked behind the Men’s Bar. The operation, which hums with surgical efficiency, lives behind swinging metal doors.

Most members never give the kitchen a second thought. At most, they study the menu, place an order, and expect the wait staff to bring it to the table on time and the way they want it.

But the journey to the table is a remarkable story. This is a so-called “scratch kitchen”; everything is prepared on-site. The kitchen, perhaps more than anything else in the club, determines how a member feels about the institution.

Think of it: catered events, client dinners, soup at lunch, a post-workout sandwich, breakfast to start the day. Every morsel of food you eat at the club comes from the kitchen.

I arrived one morning to see what goes on there.

Waiting for me in the hallway, and dressed in his official uniform of a white chef’s jacket, was Executive Chef Philippe Boulot. From time to time, you may see Boulot walking through the club in that jacket. That’s part of his mission. He wants to be visible and approachable. He likes to talk with members to see what they like – or don’t like – about the food his kitchen prepares. He puts a bit of himself in every meal.

“I love to cook,” he said. “It is in my DNA. When I hear a customer say they had a great dinner, it makes my day. It’s not about my ego.

It’s about serving the customer.”

But make no mistake about this exceedingly polite and humble man. Boulot has an international reputation in the culinary world.

Experts seek him out. He speaks around the globe, and offers advice to those at the top and at the bottom of the industry, the men and women who dream of one day being a chef, but are, for now, chopping vegetables on the line.

He ran the Heathman Hotel Restaurant for nearly 20 years, putting the place on the culinary map, before being recruited to take over MAC’s kitchens.

In athletic-speak, Boulot is like Bill Belichick of the NFL’s New England Patriots, or Pat Riley with the NBA’s Miami Heat. He runs everything.

“I know what I want,” he said. “A kitchen is not for everyone. You need a thick skin.”

He’s in charge of all food prepared for the Sports Pub, the Men’s Bar, Joe’s, Sunset Bistro, the employee cafeteria and banquets and major events. He creates long, medium and short-term menus that are both creative and practical. If the club gets a deal on beef or cherries, for example, it’s up to Boulot to design meals and desserts that meet the expectations of members and don’t cause food to go to waste.

He oversees a staff that includes five chefs and 60 cooks. “I interview every one of them.”

His people are loyal; some have worked with Boulot for decades. And he offers his employees a daily chance to improve their skills; his office, shared with his top chefs, has an open-door policy.

There’s a lot riding on his vision and management. The club, he said, spends $2 million annually on food. If Boulot overbuys salmon, for example, it goes to waste if members don’t like the way it’s prepared. If his cooks mishandle orders, members may not return to club restaurants.

He pushed open the swinging doors. “This is my world,” he said. “I see myself as a conductor of an orchestra. My role is not to play all the instruments. But I must understand the music, and the musicians.”

“I love to cook,” Boulot says. “It is in my DNA. When I hear a customer say they had a great dinner, it makes my day…”

He stops to talk with a chef making pastries. He asks questions, listens. Satisfied that all is well, he moves on to check on another station.

“Things can go badly,” he said. “Control is the issue. I can’t do everything, so I rely on my chefs to carry out my instructions..”

Boulot checks a massive refrigerator to see what meats are available today, along with another that holds vegetables.

“What we buy here is extremely perishable,” he said. “I need to create menus that are not only good, but that waste nothing. I’m thinking all the time. Then I confer with my chefs.”

By 2 p.m., Boulot and his team must have the menu ready for the Men’s Bar, a new menu required daily. The Sports Pub menu is updated weekly; Joe’s monthly.

“Ingredients on hand,” he said. “The season.

We can’t have the same thing all the time.”

While some standards remain on the menu, Boulot knows that he must constantly reinvent what he offers. “Members of a luxury club have expectations,” he said. “They want good food, interesting food. The worst thing that can happen is that they get jaded. I can’t have that.”

To relax, Boulot enjoys going hunting or fishing – without a cellphone. But even at home, he cooks. “Cooking is not what I do,” he explained. “It is who I am.”
