ongratulations are in order as we kick off the 125th anniversary celebration of the Multnomah Athletic Club. From 26 members in a rented gymnasium on Second Street to more than 22,000 members enjoying 600,000 square feet of first-class athletic David Horstkotte president and social venues, we can be proud of our rich history, our deep connections to our community, and the accomplishments of our many members, current and past. Our mission “… to enrich lives, foster friendships and build upon our traditions of excellence …” truly encompasses what our club is all about.

Josie Henderson our new Member Services Director recently asked me what I felt makes our club so unique, and it took me awhile to frame this answer. The MAC provides an amazing breadth of offerings that appeal to members of any age, from infants in swimming lessons to cardio and balance classes enjoyed by members well into their 90s. Our club experiences grow and evolve as the years pass, and our friendships and shared involvement create an intimate bond between our members and our club. MAC is a place like no other, and we are truly fortunate.

50-year members The recognition luncheon for 50-year members was held last month, and Vice President Doug Dawley did a wonderful job entertaining the group. The 85 people elected to senior membership in 1966 also will be honored at our annual meeting. I received one of the nicest letters of my tenure from one of these members, who was surprised to learn she had been with the club for so long. She recalled summer tennis lessons on the outdoor courts facing the stadium, but her most vivid memory was swimming in the social pool with her good friends. The pool had a high-dive board at that time, and one of her friends was diving off again and again. Mistaken for sisters, a poolside parent asked, “You’re not going to let your sister get ahead of you, are you?” Issued a challenge she couldn’t refuse, off the board she went.

First and last time. Her letter concludes by sharing what an important role MAC has played in her family’s lives.

Bouldering championships The 2015-16 Division 1 Bouldering Championships were held the second weekend

of January, as MAC hosted 207 competitors from Oregon, Washington and Alaska. An impressive 10 MAC climbers ages 10 to 18 qualified for Bouldering Nationals, to be held this month in Madison, Wisconsin, including MAC’s first divisional champion, 10-yearold Jack Urness. We heard compliments all around about the wonderful job that Head Coach Drew White, Assistant Coach and USA Climbing Board Member Avery Cook, MAC’s staff and volunteers did in hosting this event at the club for the first time. Our bouldering wall is barely a year old, so it’s even more impressive to coordinate a major competition featuring such a strong MAC team finish. Look for continued success from this young program.

Thank you I find it a little hard to believe, but my year as president is coming to a close. It has been a privilege to serve the club and a membership and staff that are so committed to making a positive impact. The pleasure of spending time working with, and learning from, so many people far smarter than me is the part I will miss the most. My sincere thanks goes out to each of the committee chairs for stepping up to shoulder this responsibility and for the fine work accomplished this year. I commend General Manager Norm Rich, his directors and his 500-strong team that run our club so seamlessly each day. Their dedication to excellence in member service is something we can all be proud of. It has been an honor to serve with my class of officers, Vice President Doug Dawley, Treasurer Bob Nunn and Secretary Scott Sakamoto. Their support and counsel have been invaluable. I couldn’t have greater confidence in the firstand second-year classes of trustees, as well as the trustee nominees we’ll install at the annual meeting. They are a very talented group with broad club experience and will wisely guide our club in the coming years.

I also need thank my family for allowing me the flexibility to spend so much time on club business the past year. Finally, I need to thank my parents, Fred and Joan, without whom I likely wouldn’t be a MAC member and wouldn’t have even been here to have the opportunity to serve as your president.

They’ve enjoyed handball, tennis, bridge and a host of other activities, but their favorite pastime these days is dining in the Men’s Bar and being served by staff members they consider good friends. Joining them one night recently, they were talking about what the club meant to them and recounted that my father had actually proposed marriage in the Men’s Bar 60 years ago. How perfect. Why didn’t I think of that? WM february 2016

VICTORY IS SWEDE. And sweet, too. Because winning the 2016 Motor Trend SUV of the Year® award is an accomplishment that makes us, at Volvo, extremely proud.

Especially considering every single part on the All-New 2016 XC90 was completely redesigned. A feat that didn’t come easy, but definitely paid off.

n February, we begin celebrating our first 125 years as a club. MAC has grown tremendously in every way imaginable. We celebrate and serve 26 (and growing) athletic communities compete both recreationally and competitively. Socially, Norm Rich we have many more General Manager communities that look to satisfy varied interests and curiosities. Educationally, we strive to teach lifelong skills and sportsmanship, proper manners, etiquette and helpful life lessons. On the culinary front, we were recognized as one of the most outstanding dining experiences in the Pacific Northwest, serving our membership tastefully Trustees, committees and members partner to look forward to what might be next. We look backward 125 years to see where we have come from and recognize lessons learned, and look forward to understanding where our members want us to go in the future.

The opportunity for more members always exceeds the space we have. I am proud to say that we never allow membership to go higher than a long-practiced, self-imposed membership cap. We strive to always improve ourselves, taking into consideration the cost of member satisfaction versus dollars invested to improve member services.

Thanking the board I want to take an opportunity to thank our retiring Trustees and Officers for their service these past three years and years of service to the club over their entire membership. One of the most rewarding gifts members give their club and fellow members is their time volunteering in governing the club. Management of the club is a unique partnership between members and staff to create terrific member experiences.

President David Horstkotte has given the club his skills in organization, driving decisions to reasonable conclusions and never overlooking what is in members’ best interests.

David allowed time for meaningful discussions, respected each trustee’s right to speak as long as necessary, and drove finality to decisions when the time was right. He reached out to members for their opinions and listened intently to opposite points of view. He equally partnered with management to understand all sides of every story. He looked for consensus, but acted decisively when necessary. I want to thank David for his leadership and partnership. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Vice President Dr. Doug Dawley served with professionalism and great bedside manner. He diagnosed each opportunity and helped everyone realize that not everything is a life-threatening decision, and offered natural solutions rather than overmedicating. I cannot thank Doug enough for his friendship, honesty and counsel.

Bob Nunn took the opportunity to ask important questions for better ways to govern, benefiting members and their club. He helped us balance debits and credits as treasurer and stood up for balanced budgeting despite the temptation to use previous year’s surpluses.

Bob asked tough questions respectfully and drove debate worthy of having.

Secretary Scott Sakamoto helped to keep important minutes accurately and communicated to the membership how the board governed and what was important to record for future boards, committees and management.

Special thanks to Joyce, Paula and Kandis for allowing your spouses to serve our institution so well, and taking time away from family and friends to govern our wonderful club. Your gift of understanding is always appreciated.

Farewell Wayne I want to thank Tennis Pro Wayne Pickard for his 32 years of service to our tennis community. Wayne announced his retirement in January and will play his last match at the end of tennis season in March. Wayne has always shown the competitive spirit, and has had a loving hand in developing champions, as well as managing the most used courts in the club, and perhaps in all of the Northwest.

MAC Founders Last, I want to congratulate our 26 Founders on a vision that has now extended 125 years and practices many of the values and traditions the club was founded on. We will celebrate many of those traditions during the next 12 months with special athletic and social events each month. Three of these events, a cycle, walk and the 125 Ball on Saturday, Sept. 24, serve as key events of the year. In celebration of our community roots, your social and athletic committees are sponsoring volunteer events that I encourage you to participate in. Look for more information in the special section in this magazine, in future editions of the Winged M, and displays around the club.

Please join fellow members at 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Feb. 2, for our Annual Meeting in The Ballroom to acknowledge our successes. Celebrate with fellow members while dining on prime rib immediately following the Annual Meeting. WM february 2016

ebruary is a busy month at MAC. Our 125th Annual Meeting starts it off, the MAC Open and many other tournaments fire up soon after, as well as the continuation (hopefully) of many new year’s resolutions Ed Stoner in the Exercise & Athletic Director Conditioning spaces.

The last always garners comments from gym “regulars” who note “newbies” and “resolutioners” often don’t know or respect proper gym etiquette; so here are a few reminders and tips from a recent livestrong.com article.

• If you are sick, stay home.

• Follow time limits on the machines. Thirty minutes is MAC’s standard, allowing everyone to make the most of their time. Need a better workout? Kick up the intensity for 30 minutes.

• Wear clothing providing the appropriate coverage and fit. Too little may distract others; baggy items may get caught in the equipment.

• Smell good, not great. Too little or too much cologne/perfume can be distracting and sometimes even cause allergic reactions for others.

• Don’t fill your large water bottle if there are others waiting; and, try not to put your mouth on the fountain spigot.

• Keep your gym bag in a locker or cubbie provided around the building rather than next to the machine on which you are working.

• When using dumbbells grab them and move away from the rack.

• Respect other people’s desire for quiet. MAC has a “no talking on your cell phone” policy in almost every athletic area. If you must take a call, please move to a main hall or phone bank as you take it.

• Don’t hog multiple pieces of equipment to super set during busy times. Leaving your towel on the equipment between sets doesn’t allow everyone to work in and out as efficiently as possible.

• When done, please hear your mother’s voice asking you to clean up, as everyone should unrack the weights they used, return dumbbells, and wipe down the equipment.

If we all follow these simple rules of workout etiquette it will make everyone’s ability to get their desired workout in as quickly as possible with as little hassle and chance of catching something we don’t want during this busy time of year.

I look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting and getting your workout by the rules in this month. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB The MAC Climbing Team had one of its best-ever showings at Divisional Championships, finishing third overall in the team competition. Ten of the 21 MAC climbers who competed advanced to National Championships, held in Madison, Wisconsin, in early February. Climbers headed to Nationals, along with MAC coaches, include, front row from left, Aidan Schenk, Sloane Warmkessel, Sutton Warmkessel, Jack Urness and Gabe Laurent; middle row, from left, Tori Siegel, Celia Diffely, Zak Surma and Head Coach Drew White, back row, from left, Coach Justin Rom, Brett Walker, Ryan Patridge and Coach Chi Harris.

Swimmer Van Mathias won this year’s Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award at the annual Banquet of Champions in January. Mathias was among eight nominees for the award. He was chosen after a season in which he became one of the most versatile swimmers in the program’s history, setting MAC age-group records in the 200 backstroke, 100 and 200 fly, and 200 and 400 IM. His 100 fly set a new state record, and was the fourth fastest time a 14- or 15-year-old swam in the history of USA Swimming. His time, 55.95 seconds, put him just 0.14 seconds behind Michael Phelps at that age. A lifelong member, Mathias has been swimming in MAC’s pools since he was 6 months old.

MAC synchronized swimmer Jeanne Newmark won the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award during the annual Banquet of Champions in January. She was among three nominees for the award. Newmark has been swimming on the MAC masters synchro team for the past 30 years, helping the squad to 14 consecutive national championships, and participating as they became the first team to compete in the 80 to 89 age group. The team gained international fame, landing in a photography book.

Over the past three years, Newmark swam a duet with her daughter, Phyllis, winning gold and bronze medals in regional tournaments and swimming at world championships.

Intermediate member and former MAC Scholar Athlete Brennan Scarlett was a key cog in the Stanford Cardinal defense this year. Scarlett became Stanford’s first-ever graduate transfer this year when he graduated from the University of California and headed across the bay for his final year of eligibility.

After a Cal career that was plagued by injuries, Scarlett played in all 14 of Stanford’s games at defensive end, recording 43 tackles, including eight for a loss, and breaking up two passes. Scarlett also had 5.5 sacks, including one in the Cardinal’s 45-16 drubbing of Iowa in the Rose Bowl. Scarlett also had the opportunity to practice alongside his brother, Cameron, a redshirt freshman at Stanford this year.

New Member Coach Diego Valeri led the Portland Timbers to an MLS Cup Title in December. Valeri scored the fastest goal in MLS Cup history, taking advantage of Columbus keeper Steve Clark’s miscue to score just 27 seconds into the match.

He was named MLS Cup MVP. Valeri missed the first two months of the 2015 season as he rehabbed from a torn ACL, suffered in the final game of 2014. But he came on late and was a driving force behind the Timbers playoff run, netting a goal and five assists in five games.

A native of Argentina, Valeri is the Timbers alltime assist leader, and is second all-time in goals.

Valeri will run a soccer clinic at the club. february 2016

New Youth Programs/ Court Sports attendant and instructor Topher Davis started playing Ultimate Frisbee at the University of Oregon in 2008, and played for five years, making four appearances at College Nationals. The team was three-time Northwest Regional Champion, and Davis was captain for two years, leading the team to a third-place finish at nationals both years.

After graduating, Davis played on the USA U23 Mixed Team that won Gold at the 2013 U23 World Games. Now living in Portland, Davis is playing for the professional ultimate team the Portland Stags for the third year. He teaches after-school basketball classes and speed/agility/ quickness class.

Major Renovation Impacts Women’s Locker Room

are beginning to show wear and are not as durable as metal lockers. Mini lockers are being eliminated because they have not been a popular solution.

A

Will there be a credit of locker fees since the locker room will not be available for five months?

Yes, members will receive a credit. There are about 2,000 lockers currently rented in the Women’s Locker Room. A plan will be developed that will be fair to members while still being administratively practical to implement.

s previously mentioned by President Horstkotte in his September 2015 article, planning is underway to renovate the basement-level women’s locker room. The Ad Hoc Women’s Locker Room Committee needs feedback to proceed in its efforts.

The committee’s objectives have been to be judicious in terms of spending capital dollars while trying to create a solution that stands the test of time. The current conceptual plan provides a layout that is functional and groups amenities.

This information, along with updates, as they occur, are always available on the website and the designated bulletin board outside of the women’s locker room.

Why is the locker room being renovated?

The east end of the building is 50 years old, and plumbing failures have increasingly been a problem. Some of the leaks have started in the Women’s Locker Room; others have started elsewhere and impacted the locker room. Floor decks in this building phase were not sealed appropriately, allowing water to migrate from one space to the adjacent space below. As an example, the women’s steam room leaks into the wall cavity, and water travels down to offices on the floor below. Another example is the easternmost wall in the locker room, which has been compromised for years from water leakage that occurred from the kitchen above. In 2015 the kitchen floor was addressed, a precursor to this wall repair.

Wasn’t the locker room just remodeled?

The room had some significant electrical issues that were addressed back in 2009. With the electrical upgrades, the beauty bars were given a face-lift. More recently, the lounge area was updated using reclaimed squash flooring.

Some modification will occur to the lounge area to create the east/west corridor and to open it up if the quiet lounge is created.

How was the conceptual locker room renovation plan developed?

As called for in policy, the Ad Hoc Women’s Locker Room Committee (composed of five women and three men) was formed in August 2015 to plan for the renovation. This work group includes individuals with architectural and construction backgrounds. The group has reviewed past committee efforts, amenities at local and national clubs, and current trends to

How do I provide feedback? Visit www.theMAC.com/group/ pages/womens-locker-room or scan the WR code below. The webpage contains updates throughout the project, and a link to a quick survey that allows members to provide feedback on specific topics. Members also may send an email to WLR-Feedback@ themac.com

define necessary amenities in the locker room.

The architect used this information to develop a preliminary plan. The current conceptual plan is the result of multiple iterations and is at a point that member input is needed prior to proceeding further. Members are being asked to provide feedback on the importance of various amenities.

When and how long is the construction expected to last?

This is a major project and is logistically challenging. The construction period is estimated to last five months and is tentatively scheduled to occur July through November.

Will we return to the same locker?

No, the layout of lockers will change due to the locker room configuration. New lockers will be installed and the locker configuration will be completely different. The method of assigning lockers has not been determined so please watch for further locker room updates for more information.

Will I be able to stay in the same vicinity as my friends?

The plan for locker assignments has not been developed yet. The goal will be to assign lockers in the same general groupings, but this will be a very challenging and difficult task, so members are asked to remain flexible.

Will there be day-use lockers in the basement level locker room?

The current plan is to provide dedicated day-use lockers.

What is the size and material of the new lockers?

The 2009 locker room strategies ad-hoc committee recommended that future lockers be made of metal. The current ad hoc committee concurs metal lockers are more durable, but is continuing to investigate options. The current cubbies made of laminate material

What shower and changing facilities will be available for women?

The subbasement locker room is available for showering and changing. Additionally, lockers will be made available for day use to secure belongings, tentatively planned for the subbasement hallway. Please watch for more information on this.

Why will the room layout change so much?

The existing Women’s Locker Room was been constructed in a somewhat piecemeal fashion. This has resulted in a labyrinth of rooms. Because of the significant amount of destruction necessary to deal with plumbing and electrical systems, the committee perceived this as an opportunity to start with a clean slate. Moving the east-end showers is most practical, due to configuration of airhandling ducting in the 50-Meter Pool directly below. The proposed layout also allows for the use of natural light from existing windows on the north wall.

Why do we need a whirlpool in the locker room?

There is an opportunity to reclaim an unused and unnecessary stairwell where a whirlpool can be added. Also, pool regulations require that access to pools open outward, impacting the existing whirlpool.

Due to the amount of pedestrian traffic in the main basement-level hallway, this would be impractical for this door. By building a whirlpool in the Women’s Locker Room, the existing whirlpool could be designated for men only, and the door to the hallway could be closed off or locked to satisfy the regulatory requirement.

An architectural review has not been done to determine other practical solutions to the regulatory requirement, but the committee is still looking for member input as to whether members would like a whirlpool in the Women’s Locker Room. WM february 2016

HYBRID D

evin Laurence Field has created metal sculptures for sites around the globe; everywhere from Beijing’s iconic “bird’s nest” Olympic arena to North Clackamas Park in Milwaukie. Still, landing a spot in MAC’s extensive art collection is special to the Northwest artist.

Many years ago, former Facilities Director Stan Loop and the arts subcommittee were close to purchasing one of Field’s pieces for the club. They eventually purchased a painting from Michele Russo shortly before he died in 2004, but the club’s collection remained on Field’s mind.

“MAC’s collection is very much a who’s who of Northwest art.

It’s been a goal of mine to have a piece in the club,” Field says. “I worked with Tom Hardy on the FDR memorial. Manuel Izquierdo, Lee Kelly, Keith Jellum, all of the old guard who are represented here; I’ve known those guys and I’ve competed against them.”

MAC purchased the Hybrid Circle for the club’s 125th anniversary. He recently installed the 6-by-6-foot steel sculpture, mounted on a granite block, in the Turnaround. Field has worked with circle forms in several of his pieces over the years, and feels this particular spiral shape invokes a sense of cyclical change that’s perfect for MAC. “There is change in life, but there are also cycles. The Mobius strip exemplifies that well, because it’s going in a circle and coming back to its place of origin, but it’s not coming back perfectly because it’s offset, and that’s very true to how life works,” Field explains.

“I like that idea for MAC because the club has reinvented itself several times … I think it’s a nice metaphor for that sort of rebirth, but with change.”

MAC’S FIRST OUTDOOR ART The hybrid circle is 6-feet across, and stands on a 2-foot-high granite block, putting it among the club’s largest, and heaviest, pieces of art. But it stands out among MAC’s collection for another reason – it’s the first outdoor piece the club has purchased. MAC has more than 100 pieces of art in a collection that is valued at more than $1 million. Typically, the arts subcommittee purchases a few pieces each year with its annual budget. The committee put that spending on hold for the past three years to acquire a piece like this, and requested proposals from artists across the Northwest. Field’s Hybrid Circle was the piece that made the cut.

“I really like this piece!” says Kevin P. Johnson, an architect at GDB, which works with the club.

Devin Laurence “MAC is a clear example of the Field discusses how architectural style called brutalism, known for use of concrete and his Hybrid Circle brick in a heavy presence. With invokes a sense of those monumental qualities, the cyclical change at use of the high polished stainless the club. steel and swirl pattern creates a nice bright jewel for an otherwise dark entry.”

NORTHWEST ROOTS Field has deep ties to the Northwest, though he spent many of his younger years traveling the globe with his parents, who were zoologists. He was born in the United States and lived in Eugene when he was 3 and 4 years old as his parents pursued their doctorate degrees. He spent a big chunk of his youth in New Zealand, but the family spent time traveling throughout the South Pacific, Australasia, Europe and the Americas.

Field eventually found his way back to Eugene, where he earned his bachelor of fine arts and master of fine arts degrees from the University of Oregon. Field is unique among contemporary largescale metal sculptors because of the level of articulation he achieves in directly fabricated steel. Not sculpted in clay then cast in metal, or hammered in thin sheet onto a sculpted pattern, his work is cut, forged, pressed, welded, ground and polished using thick plate steels.

“I’ve work with clay, I’ve worked in stone as well. Clay is an additive process, and stone is primarily a subtractive process,” Field says. “Fabricated metal is a constructive process, so the approach is com“MAC’s collection is very much pletely different.” a who’s who of Northwest art, Learn more about it’s been a goal of mine to Field’s art at www. devinlaurencefield. have a piece in the club.” com.

Day Housekeeping Makes for a More Efficient Club Day-shift housecleaning begins in February around the club

T

he Facilities team has recently been running a pilot program to test day housekeeping around the club. The program, which included Phase 3, the lobby, exercise equipment and studio floors, has led to positive results in overall cleanliness, improved communication with occupants, and energy savings. In 2016, MAC will make the switch to day-shift cleaning clubwide. The janitorial duties and day housekeeping services will be combined and assigned to housekeeping teams by area. Currently, much of the cleaning occurs overnight.

Benefits of day cleaning Increased satisfaction with cleaning Surveys show that members feel more confident their areas are routinely well cleaned.

Most express that they appreciate the chance to get to know the cleaning staff personally, which isn’t always possible on the night shift.

Day-shift cleaning creates opportunities for occupants to address cleaning-related problems while the housekeepers responsible for the area are on site, resulting in improved response time, better communication and member satisfaction.

22 | The Wınged M |

february 2016

Reduce cross-contamination Dayshift cleaning helps reduce cross-contamination. As people sneeze, touch door handles and other surfaces, housekeepers are able to break the chain of contamination by continually sanitizing those affected surfaces during working hours. Energy savings While savings from day-shift cleaning are primarily attributed to lighting, they also are achieved through reduced use of elevators and heating and cooling systems. Strengthen employee engagement Eliminating graveyard hours for housekeepers opens the doors for them to access employee amenities and events offered during the day and opt for a four-day workweek. Employee retention is expected to improve, resulting in less reliance on temp labor.

Blue cleaning brigade Forty-three housekeepers hit the floors in February donning a new uniform of blue polo shirts and khaki pants. Planning has been in the works for months to make this happen, however, we know it will take time to iron out all the kinks. Please welcome the Blue Cleaning Brigade, including supervisor Jeff Soulis, a 30-year employee. WM

Pilot Programs Allow Junior Guests, Sibling Supervision T wo pilot programs involving juniors currently are being conducted in the Main Clubhouse. One allows 14- to 17-year-old juniors to supervise their younger siblings, and the other that allows 15- to 17-year-old juniors to host one 15- to 17-year-old guest at a time. Both pilots began with a soft rollout on Dec. 1 to allow staff time to fine-tune them before expanding them more widely.

If all goes well, both programs will continue until the end of May, after which, the Board of Trustees will decide whether to make either or both of the programs permanent. Both programs, if permanently adopted, would require a change to the Club Rules.

Sibling member supervision pilot Current Club Rules state that children younger than age 7 are not allowed in the clubhouse at any time without an adult age 18 or older. The rules also state that juniors ages 7 to 10 must be in a supervised or monitored area at all times if they are not with an adult.

While there is no state law in Oregon regarding a specified baby-sitting age, what is taught by local classes, including the Red Cross classes offered at the club, is age 12. This age assumes that care is being delivered in the home, however, and the clubhouse obviously poses additional hazards and situations.

We want to ensure all members’ safety, especially our youngest and most vulnerable.

We also want to ensure, as best we can, that children are well behaved within the club and have the supervisory support they need.

To balance member expectations with safety and behavior concerns, the Trustees approved a pilot program to explore the feasibility of allowing older sibling members (age 14 and older) to care for younger sibling members (newborn to 10 years) while at MAC.

Junior guest pass pilot Right now, juniors of any age are prohibited from hosting guests at the club. This pilot

program is exploring the practicality of allowing 15- to 17-year-old juniors to host one 15to 17-year-old guest at a time.

All current guest policies apply to juniors who are hosting guests: • Host members must stay with their guests at all times and are responsible for their guests’ safety and behavior.

• Members are responsible for ensuring their guests follow Club Rules, including adhering to the dress code. Members may be sanctioned for violations of Club Rules by their guests.

• A nonmember who lives within 50 miles of the clubhouse may only be sponsored as an athletic guest once every 90 days, even if a different member hosts them each time.

• There is a $14 charge for athletic guest visits.

Additionally, the Junior Guest Pass Pilot program has extra provisions: • Juniors may only host one guest at a time, either social or athletic.

• Juniors may not host a guest at the same time that they are supervising a sibling.

• Both the junior and their guest must sign a form acknowledging their understanding and agreement with applicable Club Rules.

• Both the junior and their guest must provide valid photo ID. • Both the junior and the guest will be identified by wrist-bands and/or hand stamps while visiting the Club.

Feedback wanted We are documenting usage, challenges and member feedback about both programs.

We will present all findings to the Trustees so they can make an informed decision about the feasibility of making one or both programs permanent.

If you have feedback about either program – good or bad – please submit a sounding board or contact Member Services Director Josie Henderson at jhenderson@themac.com. WM

In Memoriam Nancy L. Gebo Nov. 30, 1936-Dec. 10, 2015 Nancy L. (Childress) Gebo, of Beaverton died peacefully Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015, at home surrounded by her entire family. She was 79.

Nancy was born Nov. 30, 1936, in Danville, Ill., the second child to Thurman and Ada Childress. Nancy was a kind and patient woman, whose optimism was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She was known as a loving and devoted wife, mother and friend.

Nancy graduated from Danville High School in 1954 and went on to a career as a bookkeeper, working for a handful of businesses until landing a position in the Vermilion County (Illinois) auditor’s office. She married Robert R. Gebo Jr. of San Francisco on Dec. 19, 1970. Nancy and family relocated from Danville to Beaverton in 1978.

In 1980, Nancy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She never let it get her down, and often said, “I have MS, but MS does not have me!”

Traveling was a big passion for Nancy, and she especially enjoyed her and Bob’s long visits to sunny Palm Desert, Calif. When home, she often was found doing crossword puzzles while enjoying her favorite soap operas. Holidays always filled the home with her entire family, just how she liked it.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Bob; daughters, Jody and her husband, Paul, and Ann and her husband, Brad; son, Mark and his partner, Ruthie; and grandchildren, Seann and his wife, Ellie, Jessica and her husband, Andrew, and Aaron. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her remembrance to the OHSU Multiple Sclerosis Center of Oregon.

Richard Crittenden Easton April 6, 1937-Nov. 30, 2015 Richard “Dick” Crittenden Easton was born in Portland to Hazelmary and George Easton and lived a life filled with family, friends and service.

He attended Ainsworth Elementary, Lincoln High School and the University of Oregon, where he met Marilyn Poston, his devoted wife and best friend of 56 years. Dick was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, majored in business, and remained a committed, loyal Duck fan his entire life.

A successful career in the group insurance industry took off after he graduated from Oregon, eventually becoming a senior officer for both Standard Insurance Co. and Guarantee Life Insurance Co. He was a gifted leader in the world of business sales and marketing, cultivating trusted relationships and

lasting friendships throughout his career.

Dick’s passion for coaching also took root early, leading both of his sons’ Goldenball basketball teams for eight consecutive years.

In 1980, Dick coached his Bridlemile Bullets to a Portland city championship title.

Dick and Marilyn retired to the Oregon coast in 2000, and Dick became a volunteer assistant football coach for Warrenton High School. He enjoyed every minute of all 13 seasons. Dick was an exceptional coach because he was a natural motivator and teacher who also knew how to make a sport fun and rewarding for his players. Kids respected him and loved playing for him. He and his wife established the Dick & Marilyn Easton Warrenton High School Activities/Leadership Scholarship in 2001, which helps some of Warrenton’s brightest kids further their education. Dick served on the board of directors for WHS Scholarships, Inc. and also for the United Way of Clatsop County, serving as its president for several years.

Dick was a MAC member for 40 years, and served on the House Committee. He also served on the board of the University of Oregon’s Lundquist School of Business for more than a decade.

For 10 years, Dick and Marilyn spent the coast’s colder months in Arizona, where they took in the sun, made wonderful friends, and where Dick also performed with the Desert Aires singing group. Dick was happiest spending time with his family, especially when vacationing in Sunriver, Gearhart or Maui. He also cherished his longtime friends – with whom he would gather every year at the beach for several days of tennis, golf, cocktails and poker.

Dick was selfless, loving, unfailingly honest and always fun to be around. He was a great story teller, a voracious reader of American history, and was as loyal as they come.

Dick is survived by his wife, Marilyn; daughter, Jan Huffstutter (Keith); sons Mike (Cindy) and John (Michelle); and grandchildren Hayley, Zack, Matthew, Riley, Ava, Isabelle and Lila. Donations may be made to the Oregon Food Bank, www.oregonfoodbank.org.

Jerry Donald Giesy July 16, 1933-Nov. 14, 2015 Jerry Donald Giesy was born in Portland at Emanuel Hospital, where he went on to practice urology for more than 50 years – retiring at age 79. A beloved physician and team member, his love and respect for his patients, their families, and his colleagues were legendary.

Jerry grew up in Lake Oswego where the Giesy family raised horses and were members of the Portland Hunt Club and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Posse. Jerry graduated from Lincoln High School in 1951 as student body president, and continued on to graduate from

Stanford University in 1951. He attended medical school at Oregon Health Sciences University, Class of 1959, following in the legacy of the Giesy physicians from the historic Aurora Colony. Jerry completed his residency in urology in 1963 on “The Hill.”

Jerry was a leader and team builder in the Portland medical community. He spent many years in leadership positions, including president of the Emanuel medical staff, the first president of the Legacy Portland medical staff, president of the Oregon Urologic Society, and president of the Northwest Urologic Society, chairman of the Division of Urology at Holladay Park, and founder and medical director of the regional lithotripter services.

A champion of medical and health care innovation to improve outcomes for patients and establish best practices for physicians, Jerry conducted and published dozens of research studies, invented medical gadgets and owned numerous patents. Jerry was a member of the American Urological Society, North Pacific Surgical Association, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and associate clinical professor of urology at OHSU. Endlessly optimistic about the possibility in every individual and committed to the pursuit of knowledge, Jerry was highly regarded by all for his skills as a teacher and mentor. Jerry always found time to speak intentionally with each person and honored the treasure of their story. He was famous for translating complex ideas with a few of his classic diagrams on a paper towel.

Jerry never lost an opportunity to share his lifetime love of the outdoors – cycling, windsurfing, hiking, kayaking and skiing with family and friends. His favorite place on Earth, the Giesy cabin at Elk Lake, was his playground and classroom for anyone who accepted the open invitation to join him on an adventure to explore the world.

Jerry was a passionate participator in life, a trailblazer, visionary, and our Great Encourager.

He is survived by his teammate and wife of 58 years, Barbara (Peterson) Giesy, daughters Julie (Michael) Metzger of Seattle and Jan (James) Brauer of Hood River, and five grandchildren in whom he believed in deeply and brought him great delight.

Donald Joseph Miller April 25, 1943-Dec. 11, 2015 Donald Joseph Miller (Don) died Dec. 11, in his West Portland home with immediate family members present. He was 72.

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 29 baseball team, becoming captain his senior year. He was a founding member of Sigma Tau Omega fraternity.

After graduating with a liberal arts degree in 1965, Don married Elaine Devlin and soon became a father of two sons, Rodd and Ric. After time spent in Whittier, Calif., and Gresham, Don and his family settled in Tualatin from 1972 to 1992, becoming fixtures in the community there.

Don had a long career in the grocery industry, beginning as a checker at Kienow’s Food Stores in Southeast Portland. After stints at Mayflower Dairy, United Grocers and Gregg Foods, Don moved into the food brokerage business with Kelly-Clarke Inc. Following a stint at Acosta Food Brokers, Don finished his career at Damon Worldwide, focusing on the Private Label division of Fred Meyer.

Passions in Don’s life included running, baseball, physical fitness, the Catholic Church and spending time with his children and grandchildren and their various activities. Don thoroughly enjoyed the time he spent with family and made that his favorite retirement activity after leaving the work force in 2007.

Don was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003, which led to retiring early. This disease was the major contributor to his early

death. He is survived by his wife, Elaine, of 50 years; his two sons, Ric and Rodd; daughter in-law Kristen; and his grandchildren Peyton, Spencer and Morgan.

Donations may be made to the University of Portland Athletic Fund, 5000 N. Willamette Blvd., Portland, OR 97203.

Edward Peck Jr. March 2, 1927-Dec. 10, 2015 Edward “Ned” W. Peck Jr. was born March 2, 1927, to Hazel and Edward Peck. He was the eldest of two sons. Ned graduated from the University of Oregon and went on to have a very successful career as an architect, which led to, with partners, the founding of his own firm.

Ned later went on to be a founding member of an environmental engineering firm that was responsible for the removal of toxic materials from many buildings throughout the country.

Both firms grew throughout the years and remain successful to this day. Ned married the love of his life, Judy, in 1967. They had 47 amazing years together and made a point to say they loved each other every day. They traveled extensively together. They went to Africa, China, Japan, Alaska and Turkey, to name a few places they saw. It was a great joy in their lives to see the world together.

Ned was an active member of the Portland Rotary, the Portland Royal Rosarians and Multnomah Athletic Club. Ned died peacefully

in the early morning of Dec. 10, 2015, with his loving wife right by his side. In death, just like in life, she was always by his side.

Ned is survived by his loving wife, younger brother, nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. He was a guiding light in all of their lives, and they would often go to him looking for advice throughout the years.

The Peck family asks that anyone who would like to give in honor of Ned make a donation to either the Cedar Hills United Church of Christ or the Portland Rotary Club.

Dr. Patricia Louise Wagner Feb. 3, 1945-Nov. 11, 2015 Dr. Patricia “Pat” Louise (Thompsen) Wagner died peacefully Nov. 11, surrounded by her family.

Pat was born Feb. 3, 1945, in Portland, to Dr. Ralph and Grace Thompsen. She grew up with two sisters, Cassie and Holly, in Medford.

Pat was a scholar, choir member and cheerleader who graduated from Medford High School in 1963. She married Michael Neathamer, of Medford, in 1963, and had a son, Christopher. Pat graduated from Southern Oregon College with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1969.

ADMINISTRATIVE June 21, 1970. For three years, she taught science at Mountain View and Whitford junior high schools in Portland and had a daughter, Johanna. With a desire to practice medicine and the encouragement of her family, Pat enrolled at Portland State and received a bachelor of science degree in pre-medicine in 1977. After graduating with a degree in medicine from Oregon Health &Science University in 1984, Pat completed her residency in internal medicine at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Portland.

Pat joined Westside Internal Medicine in 1987, and enjoyed more than 20 years of wonderful relationships with colleagues, staff and patients. Professionally, Pat was known for her engaging personality, clinical acumen and positive attitude. She loved being a physician and delighted in running into her patients around town.

Throughout life, Pat found happiness in being with people; socializing with family and friends was central to her life. Ski trips with adventurous couples, annual salmon fishing expeditions with her girlfriends, and laughing with her grandsons filled her years with joy. Pat was demonstrative, fun-loving and playful. People gravitated to her.

Pat and David enjoyed traveling around the world together. Relatives in Norway, sailing the Caribbean, Fiji, Croatia and Turkey, journeys through Japan, South America, Africa and Europe were highlights. Pat blended her medical knowledge and cultural curiosity by serving as an American ambassador of internal medicine in China and South Africa.

Many memories were made closer to home: weekends at Salishan on the Oregon coast and long summer days at Lake of the Woods in southern Oregon.

In retirement, Pat was an active member of the Portland Chamber Orchestra, longtime pillar of the Windjammer Mariners Group at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, and a volunteer at the Wallace Clinic. Pat made the transition from mother to teacher to doctor and beyond look natural.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Ralph and Grace Thompsen; and stepson, Stephen D. Wagner.

She is survived by her husband, Dr. David G. Wagner; sisters, Cassie Tuft and Holly Thompsen; children, Christopher (Andria) Neathamer, Michelle (John) Wagner-Bures, Stacy (Robert) Geale and Dr. Jody (Peter) DeKay; and grandchildren Ryan and Marc Geale, Nicholas Neathamer, and Caleb and Owen DeKay.

irty dancing at the MAC? Elvis in the clubhouse? Cocked hat bowling?

Competitive tug-of-war teams? These and other tales from the MAC’s amazing history are part of a new history exhibit that opens Monday, Feb. 1, at the Oregon Historical Society and moves to MAC this summer. The exhibit is part of the yearlong celebration of the club’s 125th anniversary.

Rather than a strictly chronological treatment of MAC’s history, the exhibit tells stories about Building the Club (facilities), Women in the MAC, Sports (a changing pageant of different sports and stars), Social Life (everything from, yes, “dirty dancing” and elaborate musicals in the pre-World War I period to mother-daughter teas and fashion shows in the post-war years), and the MAC’s considerable role in community projects. The exhibit includes large wall panels, cases of artifacts chosen from the collections or lent by members, and a video of film clips and images from the MAC archives and the OHS collection.

Club Archivist George Vogt, who worked with exhibit curator Marsha Matthews, former museum director at OHS, said, “MAC is fortunate to have lost very little in the way of historical material since 1891, despite a fire that leveled one of the clubhouses.” The photographic collection, he noted, is amazing and “keeps getting better.”

And about that “dirty dancing.” MAC was obliged to enforce a 1910 Portland City ordinance that stated: “It shall be unlawful ... to permit any person to engage in any immoral dance or dances commonly known, designated or termed “The Turkey Trot,” “Rag Dance,” Moon Light Waltz,” “Dip,” Slide Over the Wave,” “Heads Together,” “The Walkback,” “The Walking Dance,” “The Rough Dance,” or dances of like character.” Try as they might, MAC staff and board members were unable to dampen the junior and intermediate members’ enthusiasm for the latest dance crazes.

In the interest of full and accurate history, The Winged M offers the following instruction for doing the “immoral” Turkey Trot: “Dance partners face each other and take one step or hop with each beat of lively music, while the man holds the woman tightly around the waist (“hugging”). The dancers sway back and forth going in a straight line around the floor and occasionally flapping the arms, hence the name.”

Elvis Presley held a press conference in MAC in September 1957 before his show at Civic Stadium. Opposite, one of the panels the Oregon Historical Society has developed for its exhibit on MAC, which opens on Monday, Feb. 1.

For Elvis, cocked hat bowling, and all the rest, you will want to visit the exhibit, which opens February 1 at the Oregon Historical Society at 1200 SW Park Avenue in downtown Portland.

Admission to all exhibits and the OHS library is free to residents of Multnomah County. OHS is open from 1-5 p.m., Tuesday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. WM

2015 Financial Statements Budget and Finance Committee Report

T

he Club’s 2015 financial books are closed and the audit is complete. The Multnomah Athletic Club enjoyed another year of financial success. Overall, the Club increased net assets by $3,881,000 (6%) to $71,147,000. Assets increased by $2,630,000 (3%) and liabilities decreased by $1,251,000 (12%).

The Club’s revenues and expenses are broadly divided into two categories: the Operating Fund and the Property Fund. We focus on the Operating Fund because it covers the day-to-day Robert Nunn operations that directly affect our enjoyment of Treasurer the Club. Our budget for 2015 anticipated an operating deficit of $146,000, largely because of the closures for the Kitchen/Ballroom Renovation project. We finished the year positive to budget by $126,000, but still lost $20,000 from operations. The composition of both revenue and expense was similar to prior years. One of the financial highlights of the year was gas, electricity, and water expense was $319,000 positive to budget because of new energy management practices.

The Club’s plant and capital assets are carried in the Property Fund. In 2015, we transferred $4,854,000 from the Operating Fund to the Property Fund. Initiation fees and interest income also go into the Property Fund. In 2015, we spent $6,784,000 on capital projects, which includes $4,194,000 for the Kitchen/Ballroom Renovation. As our clubhouse ages, we must spend more on maintenance. Parts of the building are now over fifty years old, and failing pipes have been a special problem. Our staff does a brilliant job of keeping the facility well maintained, but our building requires more work as it gets older.

Our Facilities Replacement Fund is to provide funding if our existing facility must be replaced, and also to pay for major structural changes and real property acquisitions. Money is transferred into the fund each year from the Property Fund. In 2010, the Board set a Facilities Replacement Fund target of $38,000,000 by 2023. In 2015, that fund grew by $1,664,000 to $17,188,000. The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed our capital funding policies and proposed adjustments that have put us back on track to achieve our 2023 funding target.

Completing the financial audit in time for the annual meeting is a challenge every year, but especially so this year because the annual meeting is earlier than usual and because we have a new controller, Heather Bulloch. The audit was finished in only two weeks, and our financial staff received high praise from our CPAs. The auditor’s opinion is unqualified.

Budget and Finance Committee members for 2015 are: Nathan Ayotte, Tom Bard, Paul Dickson, Connie Dunkle-Weyrauch, Scott Jackson, Gary Papé, Chris Porter, Heidi Pozzo, Craig Stack, Robert Torch, past Treasurers Ann Blume and Craig Iverson, and Trustee Liaisons Janice Marquis and Marlis Miller. Thanks to each for their contributions, they have been a delight to work with.

The Club begins the celebration of 125 years of success and longevity in a strong financial position. When many clubs are struggling, the MAC enjoys a stable membership, a waiting list to join, and extraordinary financial performance. It’s been an honor to have served as the Club’s Treasurer.

Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Trustees and Members Multnomah Athletic Club and Subsidiaries Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Multnomah Athletic Club and its subsidiaries (the Club), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of activities, changes in unrestricted net assets (Club equity), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Club as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization – The Multnomah Athletic Club (the Club) is a private, nonproprietary amateur athletic club located in Portland, Oregon. The Club was formed in 1891 and conducts various athletic and social activities, and provides food and beverage service to its members and their guests.

During 2012, the Club created two entities, MAC Block 7, LLC and Design Center PDX, LLC. During 2013, the Club created one entity, MAC 21, LLC. All of these entities (collectively referred to as the LLCs) are Oregon limited liability companies, in which the Club is the sole member. The LLCs were created for the sole purpose of holding property that the Club owns adjacent to its current facilities.

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Club and its whollyowned subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated and all references henceforth are referred to as “the Club”.

Basis of presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Net assets and revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Club and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Board-designation of unrestricted net assets – The Board of Trustees of the Club has established Board-designated unrestricted net assets (Club equity) accounts for facility replacement and property. The Board-designated property fund portion of Club equity reflects the net book value of all Club property, plant, and equipment in addition to cash equivalents and investment income earned from designated sources less related liabilities. Board-designated sources include initiation fees and designated investment income less related income taxes, and the difference between actual depreciation expense and Board-approved funded depreciation. The facility replacement fund represents the investment balances accumulated from contributions made to the fund and from earnings on these investments, less related expenses. Amounts have been contributed annually to the facility replacement fund. Transfers between funds may occur as directed by the Board of Trustees.

The Club does not have any temporarily or permanently restricted net assets resulting from donor-imposed stipulations.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Club values its cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. All highly-liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist primarily of unpaid member dues and other fees. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on historical charge-off activity. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Club’s membership accounts are suspended after accounts are 120 days past due. Accounts may also be sent to a collection agency after the account has been suspended.

Inventories – Inventories of liquor, food, and sportswear are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.

Investments in marketable securities – The Club carries investments in marketable mutual funds, which comprise its entire investment portfolio, on the consolidated balance sheet at their readily determinable fair values based on quotations from national securities exchanges. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities.

Property, plant, and equipment – Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: Clubhouse 40 years Clubhouse and land improvements 7 - 10 years Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 3 - 7 years Parking structure and athletic facilities 10 - 40 years

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued from page 41

Property, plant, and equipment acquisitions, renewals, and improvements exceeding $2,500 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of property subject to depreciation, the accounts are relieved of the related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of activities.

Membership dues and initiation fees – Membership dues are recognized as revenue in the applicable membership period.

The Club collects a portion of initiation fees from prospective members as they are placed on the waiting list and includes these amounts in deferred revenue. The Club also has had programs in place to promote prepayment of initiation fees for juniors and spouses. Initiation fees are recognized as revenue on acceptance to the membership.

Membership dues and initiation fees are due primarily from Club members within the Portland metropolitan area.

Taxes on unrelated business income – The Club is a taxexempt organization and is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except for unrelated business income, in accordance with Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Club’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, MAC Block 7, LLC, Design Center PDX, LLC, and MAC 21, LLC, are limited liability companies for which no separate income taxes have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the entities are disregarded for tax purposes. Income and loss is allocated to the sole member, the Club.

The Club recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Club recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in taxes on unrelated business income. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Club recognized no interest or penalties.

Functional allocation of expenses – The costs of the Club’s various activities and programs have been summacontinued on page 43

2015 Financial Statements Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued from page 42) rized on a departmental basis in the accompanying schedule of departmental revenues and expenses, presented as supplementary information. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the departments benefited.

Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior balances to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported unrestricted net assets or changes in unrestricted net assets.

Subsequent events – Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Club recognizes in the consolidated financial statements, the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the consolidated balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Club’s consolidated financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated balance sheet but arose after the consolidated balance sheet date and before the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Club has evaluated subsequent events through January 21, 2016, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Note 2 – Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment consist of the following as of December 31:

of accumulated depreciation $ 49,993,057 $ 46,607,915 Construction in progress at December 31, 2015 and 2014 consists primarily of costs related to various remodeling and expansion projects.

Note 3 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Accounting literature defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Club’s market assumptions.

These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3 – Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The Club used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for its assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value in the consolidated financial statements: Investments – Investments are comprised of marketable mutual funds. Marketable mutual fund fair values are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar funds.

The following is a summary categorization as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 of the Club’s assets based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments: 2015

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Marketable municipal security index funds $ 5,347,691 $ - $ - $ 5,347,691 Marketable domestic equity index funds 5,154,674 - - 5,154,674 Marketable international equity index funds 3,811,824 - - 3,811,824 Marketable domestic fixed income index funds 1,716,795 - - 1,716,795 Marketable real estate index funds 849,769 - - 849,769

$ 15,401,981 $

-­ $ 15,401,981

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Club does not have any liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value. It is the Club’s policy to recognize transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy on December 31st of each year. There were no changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies Operating leases – The Club leases certain office equipment and parking under operating lease agreements. Future minimum payments under those leases are as follows: Years ending December 31, 2016 $ 236,314

2017 12,459

2018 4,776

2019 4,776

2020 2,388

$ 260,713

During 2011, the Club extended their existing lease for parking facilities for an additional 120 months, through December 21, 2021; however, the lease contains a cancellation clause noting that the lease may be cancelled at any time with 12 months written notice.

No penalties or additional payments are required to be paid by the Club in the event of cancellation.

The Club incurred operating lease expenses of $243,684 and $236,226 during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Legal contingencies – The Club, in the ordinary course of business, may become a defendant in certain claims and legal actions. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, there are no matters or potential claims presently known to the Club that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Club.

Note 5 – Taxes on Unrelated Business Income Taxes on unrelated business income result primarily from advertising income in the Club’s Winged M publication, investment earnings including gains on sales of investments, and income from rental properties. The effective tax rate applied to these items, of approximately 35%, differs from the statutory federal rate of 34% primarily due to state and local taxes, federal and state tax credits and the timing of tax payments.

The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business income as follows as of December 31:

2015 2014 Federal $ 110,057 $ 121,553 51,800 50,303 State and local Total taxes on unrelated business income

$

161,857 $ 171,856

In accordance with the requirements related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Club determined that it had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Club files an exempt organization income tax return and an unrelated business income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a corporate tax return with the Oregon Department of Revenue and the City of Portland.

Note 6 – Employee Benefit Plan The Club has a salary deferral retirement savings plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participating employees may defer a portion of their gross wages. The Club makes contributions to the plan of 3% of the base salary of employees and also matches 100% of the first 3% of the employee deferral.

Total contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $798,613 and $774,299, respectively. In addition, the Club pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.

Note 7 – Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Club to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Club places substantially all of its cash and liquid investments with financial institutions; however, cash balances may periodically exceed federally insured limits. Marketable securities, consisting of both debt and equity instruments, are generally placed in a variety of managed funds administered by an investment manager. To date, the Club has not experienced losses at these institutions.

A Lesson Learned

T

hey didn’t call my name. Maybe I missed it? I must not have heard them. This is impossible: surely they called my name.

But no – they didn’t call my name.

All of those late-night practices, the hours of grueling conditioning, the daily doubles: it all came down to this moment. It all came down to this tryout. And they didn’t call my name.

I’d been training for high school soccer since sixth grade.

If I was nothing else, I was a soccer player. I could outrun anyone and kick a ball with accuracy that would make Mia Hamm do a double-take. I had the passion, I had the guts... but I did not have the glory. I hope no one else has to feel the shame of walking off the field, head hanging lower than they had thought possible, and telling their parents that they weren’t good enough.

But here’s the problem: I was good enough. Thankfully, I realized that maybe I was an oddity. Maybe soccer wasn’t in the cards for this season, but I wouldn’t bring my entire life to a grinding halt because of one bad tryout. There were still options. So I chose to try something that had never even crossed my mind – I was going to run cross country.

The next morning I was up early enough to see the sunrise and, with my mother’s running shoes, went to practice. I had no idea what I was doing, and I still felt pretty low after soccer rejection the day before, but that wasn’t going to stop me. At practice I saw my friends, and through what seemed like the longest run of my life,

they offered nothing but encouragement. At one point, my teammate put her hand on the small of my back and pushed me up a hill. I just wanted to walk, and they made me run. The next day, I ran my first race. One month later, I ran my all-time personal record. Three months later I went to the Nike Cross Regionals, an invitational event in Boise, Idaho.

One year later, I’m no longer being pushed up hills. Instead, I’m the one telling new runners that they can push themselves harder, run farther, and still talk to their teammates.

Being cut from the soccer team was a complete curveball, but it couldn’t have been more of a blessing. I learned what kind of person I am from losing a sport that had become my identity. I learned that although the soccer coaches didn’t think I was good enough to play for them, I would ALWAYS be strong enough to pick myself up and run ... run ... run. To me, being an athlete means having a team, a coach, a goal and more determination than an ox.

Balladeers

Year’s Biggest Shows on the Horizon Here’s a Valentine’s Day thought from third-year Balladeers Director Scott Tuomi: “Start your Valentine’s Day celebration with some music before you and your sweetie go to dinner. Come see the MAC Balladeer-led and organized Brothers Sing On concert at 3 p.m. at Buckley Auditorium during the University of Portland Valentine’s Day Sunday (Feb. 14, for those of you living in a cave).”

This year’s show is the largest ever and includes the widest variety of age groups, from 10 to, well, let’s just say to people the Balladeers’ ages, according to Spencer Snow and Karl Wetzel, who have organized the event for the past eight years.

Joining the 75-year-old MAC men’s choir is a new group, the Portland Boychoir, an advanced choir featuring boys from age 10 through eighth grade. This is the first time singers this young will appear at the free concert, which is nearly always a standingroom-only event.

Also featured along with the Balladeers is Parkrose High School, which performed last year but has added more singers; the Vancouver School of Arts Academics; Tsunami, an all-star high school-age group directed by Tuomi; and the annual appearance

The Reading Lounge walls are transformed into a member art gallery each March. by the University of Portland’s University Singers.

“This is going to be quite a show. Interest in this all-male songfest has grown annually and we’re finding a lot of enthusiasm from Portland area groups to join us. We really like this opportunity to demonstrate to young men that singing can be a lifetime hobby, not just something you do during your school years,” said Tuomi, who is head of choral music at Pacific University.

While the current spotlight is on the Brothers Sing On concert, Tuomi is well into rehearsals for the Balladeers signature effort at the club, the 75th anniversary performance on Sunday, April 24. Invitations are out to former Balladeers to sing with the group for this concert, and Tuomi is promising an entertaining afternoon of music.

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. Contact Mandy Beasley at mbeasley@themac.com or 503-517-7272 for more information.

Books

Morning Group Reads Four Seasons in Rome The Morning Book Club discusses two books on Thursday, Feb. 11, starting with the delightful Four Seasons in Rome from acclaimed author Anthony Doerr, who wrote All the Light We Cannot See. Doerr received a

prestigious Rome Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which provided him a stipend and a writing studio for a year in Rome. Doerr provides a grand look at the Eternal City while facing the challenges of a foreign country with his wife and twin boys, who are only a few months old.

The group also reviews Between the World and Me by Ta-Nahisi Coates. Coates describes his observations and the evolution of his thinking on race. The author is direct and uncommonly insightful and original. This is a powerful and exceptional work.

The Morning Book Club’s tentative schedule includes Dead Wake by Eric Larson on March 10; The Witches by Stacy Schiff on April 14; and No More Champagne by David Laugh on May 12.

MAC Morning Book Club meets on the second Thursday of each month at 10 a.m.

Evening Groups Enters Eye of Isaac’s Storm

Erik Larson, author of Isaac’s Storm, details the mistakes that led weather bureau officials to dismiss warnings about the Galveston, Texas, hurricane of 1900, which killed up to 10,000 people and destroyed a third of the island city. The Evening Literary Group discusses Larson’s book at its meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23.

Activities It was called the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history when it occurred, but at the time, few residents considered nature an obstacle. U.S. weather forecasters issued bulletins calling for mere rain and high winds.

They offered no hint of the devastation to come.

Isaac M. Cline was the chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau’s Galveston station who misread the warnings and spent the next 50 years justifying his actions. His first mistake was to believe storms followed predictable laws; his second that he understood them.

Larson has a storm tracker’s nose for action and a weather junkie’s appetite for drama and detail. He follows the storm from multiple perspectives. Using diaries, letters and memoirs, he weaves together the terror and stoicism of the ship’s captains, housewives, children and forecasters infusing their tales with sustained drama.

The Evening Literary Group meets every fourth Tuesday in a private dining room at 7 p.m.

Holiday Decorating

Great Guess - Buddy Would Be Proud Anyone who ventured into the club in December had the chance to take in the whimsical scene from the movie Elf, in which Buddy the Elf, played by Will Ferrell, decorates a toy store in preparation for Santa’s arrival. In the movie, a LEGO scene of New York City is featured in the store. At MAC, a KOIN Tower was instead graciously donated by Bob Day of Bricks Cascade.

According to Buddy the Elf, the four major food groups are: candy, candy canes, candy corn and maple syrup. Since maple

Activities syrup would be a difficult item to count, the Holiday Decorating Committee opted to give MAC children the opportunity count candy corn kernels in the annual lobby scene contest.

More than 1,100 children entered the counting contest, with guesses ranging from two candy corns to 10 zillion. The member who guessed closest to the actual number was Joey Olsen, age 9, who guessed 1,632 candy corns. There actually were 1,618.

He received a $50 gift certificate to Toys R Us. In addition, Joey gets the opportunity to flip the switch to light the 2016 MAC Cornerstone Lounge Tree.

Last, but certainly not least, the Holiday Decorating Committee and Chair Jean Malnati would like to thank all of the MAC members who participated in making the club look amazing this season.

Activities For those of you interested, ABBA was a Swedish pop quartet in the 1970s composed of Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Axl, if memory serves. (Editor’s note: It doesn’t! Axl was in a much different band. The fourth member was Anni-Frid Lyngstad). Based upon previous sing along nights, this should be a major hoot (see more below). Then, on a more serious note, the MelloMacs again sing the national anthem for the MAC Open Gymnastics finals, as well as performing three “off-site” concerts.

Even though their season is half over (or is it half full? I can never remember) there is still time to cast your lot with the MelloMacs at 7 p.m. every Monday. Rehearsals are held in the third-floor Activities Classroom, and performances vary by location and “call time.” If the musical carbo-loading of Mama Mia wasn’t enough for you, come sing some rock’n’roll with the MelloMacs and keep that pop sugar high going a while longer. For information about the MelloMacs, contact Mandy Beasley at mbeasley@themac.com.

Wellness Program Continues to Grow Club working to create new wellness offerings and enhance existing programs

W

ellness and healthful living is a $500 billion market today and is estimated to become a $1 trillion dollar industry by 2020. While MAC members want a safe and secure environment, equally important is having a “healthy club” that offers an environment of wellness.

Thus, MAC created an ad hoc Wellness Committee, which after meeting since early 2014, went “live” at the club in February 2015.

The Wellness Committee’s vision statement is: “The Multnomah Athletic Club’s offerings will promote and support a healthy lifestyle and enhance the quality of life for MAC’s members.” The mission of MAC’s wellness department is to offer services that assist members in becoming aware of their health and empower them to make thoughtful choices for achieving lifelong physical, mental and social well-being.

To enhance the opening event, we featured a panel of cardiologists hosted by Dr. Douglas Dawley, vice president of the Board of Trustees. Since this event the committee has hosted numerous lectures, workshops, clinics and classes, including sessions on weight loss, restoration and energizing, sleep issues, chronic pain, stress relief and brain function, to list a few. More than 60 members attended the session on the brain.

In October, the committee hosted a Senior Focus Forum attended by 125 seniors. There were staff presentations followed

54 | The Wınged M |

february 2016

by a robust brainstorming session where seniors (defined as 65 and older) voiced their opinions on how the club was serving their interests and how it could improve. The committee continues to address the requests of this significant member group.

You may have noticed that the Winged M features an exercise of the month, as well as healthful eating tips. We created a logo that appears in all Winged M articles about wellness, in addition to being displayed on posters and healthy menu items in the Sports Pub. The committee has made significant accomplishments and plans to continue building on the programs in place while adding new ones in the coming year that promote and support a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks to the committee and staff members who have provided incredible energy and valuable input this past year.

Committee members include: Erin Acker, Steve Brown, Nadja Lilly, Joe Murphy, Marcella Renner, Chris Smith, Spencer Snow, and Ardith Stensland. Staff members include: Tyson Christensen, registered dietitian; Abby DenUyl, member events manager; Anne Griffin, racquetball member coach; Lindsay Nelson, naturopathic doctor; Ed Stoner, athletic director; Andy Shupp, personal training supervisor; and Tony Roberts, communications manager. And, special thanks goes to Keri Donovan, our wellness coordinator, and to Dr. Douglas Dawley my co-chair.

Still Sluggish From the Holidays? This Will Help T

he holidays are over and if you are like most people, you’ve had too little sleep and maybe a bit too much to eat and drink. If these activities are influencing your new year’s resolutions, you may want to consider a fresh start with a healthful detox.

You may feel that a detox is an extreme measure. And I caution anyone contemplating an extreme detox or diet to speak with their physician before starting. If you’d like to try something a little more low-key, the following is a plan that would workformostpeople.

First, start out small — a five- to seven-day detox is plenty.

Eliminate all inflammatory foods and drinks from your diet, including grains, coffee, eggs, dairy products and alcohol. Restrict your diet to fish, poultry, vegetables (though not from the nightshade family), fruit (except for citrus and bananas), and water.

Hydration is very important in a detox, since it keeps the kidneys filtering. Start the day with 8 ounces of room temperature or warm water; squeeze in half a lemon and add some sprigs of mint. Lemon-infused water helps the body flush toxins while providing vitamin C to boost your immunity.

Begin each day with light exercise, such as a walk around the neighborhood or yoga practice. Yoga is especially beneficial since it allows you to focus on deep conscious breathing, which helps the body expel toxins and brings oxygen-rich blood to all the organs.

After your light exercise, take a warm shower, but end it with 30 seconds of cold water. If you would like to accelerate your detox, repeat this hot/cold shower three times.

Alternating hot and cold helps improve circulation and stimulates removal of toxins through the skin and lymphatic system.

Fiber is essential in all detox plans since it helps with digestion and aids in the elimination of toxins. I recommend a morning smoothie with super-green foods like spinach or kale and 2 tablespoons of chia or hemp seeds.

If you are not too sensitive to caffeine, drink three to four cups of green tea throughout the day. Green tea helps with hydration and liver detoxification and fills your system with antioxidants, which can improve your immune system.

Finally, and most importantly, get a good night’s sleep, since during sleep your body detoxes and repairs. If you need help sleeping through the night, please see a health practitioner. Contact Dr. Lindsey Nelson with questions at lnelson@themac.com.

MOVE OF THE MONTH MAC’s personal trainers bring members a move of the month in each Winged M. This month, personal trainer Andy Shupp demonstrates a medicine ball torso twist. The move is a great way to strengthen the abdominals and obliques. Visit the Personal Training page at theMAC. com to watch the video and learn about variations to make the move more challenging.

hen climbers from across the Northwest came to MAC for Divisional Championships in January, it was an impressive stage for the burgeoning climbing team to show off its talents and facilities. But behind the scenes, the tournament brought out the best in more than just MAC’s young climbers, according to Head Coach Drew White, who sat down to chat shortly after the competition.

Last year, USA Climbing asked us if we wanted to host the Regional Bouldering tournament. With the 125th anniversary coming up, we asked if we could hold it in 2016. Five months later, USAC came to us and two other gyms asking if we were interested in holding a Divisional Championship, a step up from regionals.

Management was supportive, so we told USAC we could host and were selected.

You have to have the ability to shut down your facility for a week. There must be a certain amount of wall for the competition and a certain amount of wall space for isolation, (the warmup area for athletes before they enter the competition). The Climbing Gym had the wall space for competition but not for

isolation. We would have to create that. At that point, we knew this would have to be a collaborative effort between a number of departments and members. We went to different departments within the club and said, ‘Hey, let’s put on a great event for our members and for the climbing community, and everyone got on board to make this a special weekend.

Without Dan Baggett and Courts Van Dekoning in Court Sports we would not have been able to pull off the event.

They let us use the West Gym for isolation. In a championshiplevel event, every route is new to each competitor, so essentially, isolation is a warm-up space for athletes and coaches. Parents are not allowed in, and friends are not allowed in, only certified USAC coaches and athletes who have qualified are allowed in.

Athletics With huge parent involvement we were able to erect a wall in the West Gym that would be compliant with USAC specifications for a warm-up area. We had four different walls, each 25-feet long and about 10-feet high. Leslie Luttrell in Tiny Tots let us use mats for the isolation area, and the gymnastics department was willing to lend us mats too. Without them we would have needed to rent mats. Actually, I’m not even sure if we could have rented the mats we needed.

We’ve hired some great staff over the years. Molly Beard is a level 5 route setter for USAC, the highest level you can be.

She’s been chief route setter at multiple national championship tournaments. She brought in setters from Portland, Bend, Seattle, Colorado and the East Coast. We had to remove every hold from the wall.

We had three goals for the event: give the athletes the best possible experience; provide the best possible experience for the coaches; and provide the best possible experience for the parents. We did that with a great warmup area, great food and beverage service for coaches and volunteers, and really good spectating for parents, friends and family.

All the feedback I’ve heard has been positive. There were lots of comments from coaches and parents from other teams. I think one of the most positive thing to come of this is that we were able to showcase our club to an audience that knew very little about the club.

® 534 SW 3rd & Adler Suite 500 Portland, OR 97204 (503) 227-2521 | abcjewelry.net

There are so many people who worked to make this happen. Our entire staff was incredible, especially Member Coach Avery Cook, who sits on the USAC board and is our regional coordinator. Outdoor Coordinator Kellie Halkinrude worked for months ordering items and took care of volunteer tags and registration for the event. She also worked closely with communications, who did a great job with promotions. Chad Failla (Outdoor Manager) was huge in making this happen. Food and Beverage helped. And my staff, they put in long hours to prep the wall, but the hardest part is putting the wall back together.

They worked a lot of hours making sure the wall was ready for our membership and our classes right after the tournament.

And of course, the parents help to create an incredibly supportive community. It’s pretty impressive.

Pilates

Make Self-care a Priority This Year Physical fitness cannot be achieved by wishful thinking, nor outright purchase. –Joseph Pilates

H

ealth and wellness seem to be ever present; they are a certain topic at any gathering. We all strive for wellness, and yet find it to be somewhat elusive. Self-care often feels like a treat, or something we don’t have time for, or even more often, feel we don’t deserve. As our world becomes more stressful and we pack our schedule with more and more, we tend to take self-care off the to-do list. How do we make self-care a priority that we protect and honor as much as we protect and honor carpooling, walking the dog or helping a friend out with a project? I propose we all take an inventory on how we truly feel in our bodies. Do we honor what our bodies and minds need to perform at their peak? Do we listen when our bodies send us subtle or not-so-subtle messages?

As a newer employee at MAC, I am constantly impressed by the robust offerings available to members in the Mind-Body, Health and Wellness categories. And I'm often surprised at how few take advantage of those offerings. I, along with my fellow passionate and engaged team, welcome you to take inventory and assess if adding a little Pilates into your life might be just what the doctor ordered, before she has to order it!

Pilates is just one of the many wonderful mind/body offerings here at MAC. The extensive yoga presence also is such a fantastic thing to see, with so many top-notch instructors and a variety of styles to choose from. I am so pleased to be among such a strong team of instructors and passionate people. It’s that passion and respect that has brought Yoga Supervisor Lisa Buchmiller and I together to offer a four-week workshop together this month. It

will not be our last; the planning and organizing has ignited and renewed my interest in bringing people into the wellness fold of Pilates/yoga/self-care.

Something for everyone Pilates at MAC has a little something for everyone. If you were unable to stop in during the Pilates Showcase in October, you missed a great opportunity to try some equipment, meet our staff and see what it is that happens behind that glass door next to the stretching room. It’s OK! We welcome you anytime, and I personally would love to extend myself to offer a tour. Give me a call at 503-517-5550 and set it up.

We have a strong team of instructors with a wealth of knowledge and years of experience ready to help you meet your fitness goals, whatever they may be. The beauty of Pilates is its accessibility to everybody. Yes, every single body out there can benefit from the Pilates system in some way. We are seeing an increased interest in our community, including elite athletes who are working to prolong top performance, recover from injury or even prevent injury.

Pilates is a fantastic way to build strength, and increase flexibility and stability..

For those with limited mobility or who find themselves post injury or post surgery, once you are released by your doctor, we can be a great resource as you develop a fitness program suitable to the new body you are working with. Several of our instructors have post-rehab experience and would love to help you regain your confidence while getting safe, functional movement back into your body.

In celebration of the program’s fifth anniversary, My MAC Playschool is excited to bring new offerings for children to enjoy.

Playschool is now offering morning camp during holidays when children are off from school. These started in the winter and continue on Monday, Feb. 15, for Presidents’ Day. These camps, for children ages twoand-a-half through five years old, are $25 and run from 9-11 a.m. with an additional hour available for $6.

In addition to the camps, Playschool is re-introducing the Cooks and Books class during the spring session. Each class features a children’s cookbook and cooking based on that book. It also includes gym time and an art project. The next class is Thursday, Feb. 25, from noon until 2 p.m. in the Junior Lounge.

“We are really excited to be bringing back this class,” says Playschool Supervisor Jenny Robinett. “Our kids in playschool really love when we cook.”

E&C/Decathlon

Winter Blitz and Pentathlon on Horizon The Exercise and Conditioning and Decathlon committees have merged to become an even stronger advocate for fitness, training and friendly athletic competition. The name for the combined committee has not yet been chosen, but two events are planned for February.

Winter Blitz Congratulations to MAC members taking part in the Winter Blitz, which runs through Sunday, Feb. 7. We thank you for

Right on the heels of the Winter Blitz is an opportunity to compete in the second annual pentathlon (formerly Try-athlon). The week-long event runs Monday, Feb. 8 thru Sunday Feb. 14. The pentathlon requires a participant to complete five out of six events: the 500-meter row; three-minute bike; pushups; vertical jump; one-minute jump rope; and shuttle run.

The Pentathlon events are a sampling from the 19 events available in the Spring Decathlon. The Pentathlon provides an opportunity for: • Rookie decathletes to get their feet wet and get a better idea of what the decathlon is all about.

• Veteran decathletes to get an extra chance to compete and tune up for the Spring Decathlon.

The cost is only $10, and if you compete in the Winter Blitz, it's just $5.

Sign up at theMAC.com or in the E&C Room.

Celebration Participants in the Winter Blitz or Pentathlon are invited to celebrate the winners and fitness at MAC from 6-8 p.m.

Wednesday, Feb. 24. Prizes for both events are awarded.

Golf

19th Hole Golf Social Off Site Despite the endless cold and rain of Portland’s winter, the MAC Golf Committee was able to put on an unforgettable event during the annual 19th Hole Event at Golf in the Pearl.

Golf in the Pearl opened its doors and provided access to its state-of-the-art E6 Golf Simulator, bringing the experience of world-renowned golf courses to a golf shop in the center of the Pearl District. During play, the shop’s golf pros offered a short program and pointers. The simulator was used to host a long drive and KP contest.

Athletics Members were treated to refreshments and fine cuisine while waiting to take swings.

Cerulean Skies Winery provided a vast array of their red and white offerings. Another Portland company, Couture Cocktails, provided samples of their pre-mixed Manhattans, while Stumptown Coffee made an appearance with fresh-brewed coffee and a signature holiday cold brew coffee cocktail. To help match such a vast array of adult beverages, Chef Du Jour Catering provided delicious finger foods and sweets.

The committee wrapped the evening up with award and raffle presentations.

Committee Chairwoman Debbie Bensching provided a 2016 season recap, as the committee recognized members who participated in events throughout the year. Bensching was once again honored with the 2015 MAC Golfer of the Year award for her active role in club events.

The Golf Committee extends a big "thank you" to the members and their guests who have taken part in MAC Golf events in 2015, and would like to encourage you to keep an eye on our webpage for continued updates to the 2016 event calendar.

Karate

Valuable Tips During Self-Defense Seminar The Karate Committee hosted its semiannual Self Defense Seminar for women in November. MAC member and senior black belt, Sensei Scott Pilsbury, and MAC’s senior black belt karate instructor, Sensei Bill Plapinger, returned to teach the popular workshop. The senseis led 13 participants, including several mother-daughter pairs, through a variety of lessons that included useful information, demonstrations, practice, and plenty of good fun.

The 90-minute seminar started with a lecture, followed by lots of hands-on punching and kicking practice with partners. Sensei Scott covered the basics of striking (with the heel of the hand and elbow), kicking (front kick, stomping and knee strikes), and techniques for releasing oneself from grabs,

whether they are to the wrist, bear hugs or choke holds. He demonstrated how to create space and surprise when one is pinned in by an attacker.

Both instructors emphasized that the best defense is to never get into the situation in the first place. One should always be aware of one’s surroundings – do not walk or run with headphones playing loud music; have keys or other small, hard objects like a pen readily accessible; think ahead about what to do if someone jumps out at you. Best of all is to join the MAC Karate program and train your mind and muscles to react quickly and assuredly to external stimuli.

Personal Training

Dig Deep for Motivation and Get Results As I was walking out of class today, up the stairs to get on my bike, I had the same thoughts I have every day on my way out the door, "Man, I wish I didn't have to ride my bike home." This was quickly followed by the same second thought I always have: "Yes, but once you're on your bike, you’ll be glad you did."

I ride my bike to work for numerous reasons: the exercise, to cut down on pollution, avoid traffic, stay a one-car family, etc. Sure, there are reasons why I don't want to ride my bike to work. Sometimes it takes longer. It's a lot of hard work, especially when I'm tired from training all day. But despite not wanting to get on my bike and ride, I'm always glad that I did it.

Exercise is one of those things people often like once it is over, but dread beforehand. Joe Loprinzi used to say half the battle is putting on your gym shoes. Even those of us who have careers in the fitness industry still have a hard time motivating to start a workout. I don't know how many times I've told people, and myself, “You'll never regret a workout,” or, “You will feel better once it's done.” One of my kickboxing clients, who has been doing it for several years, and thoroughly enjoys it, always says the hardest kick is the first kick.

If you find yourself struggling to find motivation to exercise, please know you are not alone. Even if you enjoy exercise, it can be a challenge. It happens to all of us!

Consult with a Personal Trainer to help give you some great ideas to keep your motivation at a high level.

Squash

Former President Named to Squash Hall of Fame Every year, squash players from around the Pacific Northwest and California honor the memory of Tom Wrightson by competing at MAC for the Wrightson Cup trophy, presented to the winners of the Oregon Squash Doubles Championships. Players who knew Tom also make a point of hoisting a mug to salute their friend, who was a tireless national and international advocate for the game he loved.

Tom was a respected national figure in the game and, more than anyone else in our region, he put MAC squash on the national map by organizing the first national championships west of the Mississippi. So it is fitting that in October, Tom was accorded the highest honor in the sport when he was inducted into the United States Squash Hall of Fame during the U.S. Open Squash Championships in Philadelphia.

All those who played squash at MAC during Tom’s era – he passed away in 2000 – are aware of his outstanding success in promoting the game of squash inside and outside the walls of the club.

During his life, Tom received numerous honors from the MAC, US Squash, the University of Oregon (his alma mater) and various community and civic organizations. He was president of the UO Alumni Association, the Oregon Club of Portland and the UO Foundation. He was a board member of Marylhurst University and president of the Rotary Club of Portland.

Tom served as president of U.S. Squash in 1979, and was awarded the organization’s President’s Cup – up to that time the only person from the West Coast to be so honored.

Up until Tom’s tenure, the history of U.S. Squash was written almost entirely from the perspective of its earliest players and supporters at the clubs, colleges and prep schools of the Northeast.

Tom changed all that by bringing the U.S. Squash Singles Championships to MAC in 1979, and the Doubles Championships in 1991. That happened primarily because of his role as U.S. Squash president – and his reputation for getting things done. In order to land the doubles nationals at the MAC, U.S. Squash insisted on a minimum of three courts.

At the time, there were only two playable courts in Portland, one at the MAC and one at Reed. There was a court at Portland State,

MAC swimmers face off against each other during the Red and White Meet. but it was in terrible disrepair – totally unsafe for play. Time was of the essence, so Tom paid to have the court repaired and repainted in time for the tourney.

Young players from Portland and around the West have now come up through the ranks to increasing success in regional and national competitions. Collegiate squash on the West Coast is still in its infancy at a handful of universities, but individual players – particularly juniors – are now winning national titles in their age divisions. Julian Illingworth, a MAC member coached by MAC Squash Professional Khalid Mir as a junior player in the 1990s, went on to captain the Yale Squash Team and win the S.L. Green U.S. National Championships a record nine times – and become ranked among the top 25 players in the world, the highest ranking of any American player to date.

MAC and West Coast squash would not be where they are today if it wasn’t for Tom Wrightson. His legacy can be seen in every young boy and girl at MAC who picks up a squash racquet, gets access to professional coaching, and decides it is the sport to pursue – perhaps for a lifetime.

Roger Illingworth Tournament a Holiday Highlight The big MAC Squash event in December was the annual Roger Illingworth Holiday Tournament and the annual holiday party.

Thanks to Marcia Wood for hosting a great event. Winners of the single’s tournament were: A,Gordon Lam, with Alec Spiro runner up; B, Tom Adkission, with Gus Yusem runner

How about compete in a swim meet? Not just any meet, but the annual Red and White Meet, pitting teammates against each other in a head-to-head matchup. This happens once a year, usually over the holidays, when swimmers pick their events and try to outswim the opponent.

Records Fall in Autumn for Masters Last fall, Masters swimmers shifted from long course meters competition to short course meters racing, and traveled along the West Coast to test their personal bests – and prestigious records – to close out a fast and memorable 2015.

Team members Brent Washburne, Jill Marie Asch and Hailey Bambusch represented Team Oregon in Seattle’s neck of the woods during the PNA and Northwest Zone Championship Meet in November.

Washburne took to the distance events, placing

first, second and third in races ranging from the 200- to 1500-meter distances. No one in his age group (50-54) had ever competed in the 1,500 meter free, so he set both a personal best and a MAC record, just in time (it’s his last year in the age group).

True to her sprinting style, Asch swept her five events, finishing first in each. Not a stranger to breaking records, she captured an elusive one – the 50 SCM freestyle state record, formerly owned by a very fast and dear friend.

Like Washburne, this was her last attempt at the record before aging up.

Bambusch surprised herself, along with the field of 25-29 year olds, with some recordbreaking swims of her own. While taking first in all five of her events, she broke a NW Zone Record (50 SCM Freestyle) and a MAC record (50 SCM Backstroke) – unrested, unshaved.

In layman’s terms, this means she was waiting until her next competition to be fully rested and ready to race fast.

Another troupe of swimmers traveled to Los Angeles the first weekend in December for the SPMS SCM Regional Championship.

Scot Sullivan, Jessica Stacy, Brent Washburne and Hailey Bambusch competed against a deep field of fast Southern Californian swimmers – and showcased Team Oregon's speed.

Stacy finished first in all five of her sprint events, lowered two of her own Oregon state

Sullivan swam the breadth of freestyle distances, knocking more time off as the yards increased. He took nearly 20 seconds off of his best and set a MAC record in the 800-meter freestyle (and broke the 200- and 400-meter records, as well). Bambusch lowered her 50 free and 50

Athletics backstroke records from the weekend before, and added another 100 back MAC record to her collection. Washburne broke the 200 fly MAC record – a brave effort, considering he raced nearly 1400 meters in total throughout the weekend.

History and ice cream walk MAC is in one of Portland’s oldest neighborhoods, King’s Hill. Mark your calendar for a Rose Festival walk at 2 p.m.

Sunday, June 5. Learn about the last 125 years of neighborhood history on the way to Washington Park, where ice cream is the destination next to the Sacagawea sculpture.

Kids can play at the small playground there, or walk further with the group, past the historic reservoirs and on to the big playground.

Walkers who don’t stay at the playground will continue on, hiking the MAC Trail.

What is “heart opening?” How many times have you been told, or even said to yourself – “open your heart”? We are most likely to visit this request when we are in a state of strained love and unconscious physical stress.

February lends itself to notions of love and a state of bliss. The aim here is to discover that heart opening is a simple, yet active practice that can bring fulfillment every day of the year. Ironically, the more we open, let out and let go, the more we have and the more we feel full inside.

To enter into a discussion of heart opening from a purely physical perspective would be a mere fraction of the story. And by virtue of discussing heart opening in the context of yogic Vedas (principles in disambiguation), spirituality cannot be ignored. Indeed, we wouldn’t have one without the other. First, the physical heart is the center of survival, the pump that powers our entire operating being. Thus, the heart chakra (energy center) sits just above the physical space where the heart organ resides. It is through the strength

This year, achieve a state of bliss with MAC yoga. in our bodies, powered by the heart organ, that we are able to ready our physical being to practice yoga and meditation to ultimately experience loving kindness, openness and pure bliss.

The higher self lives in this very heart space, and when cultivated, is the center and source of our intelligence body. The intelligence body is the connecting link that opens our eyes to truths of our existence. It helps us discern truth from illusion and ignorance to which we are subject.

Much like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, in order to experience higher levels of existence, we need to first have our foundation solidly in place - food, shelter, safety. This means living within our means and recognizing when we wrongly prioritize material wealth or egoistic reassurances. When we commit to this path of seeking a higher self, we set providence in motion to unfold in divine ways humanly unimaginable.

In a recent conversation with a friend, my friend expressed frustration in that while meditation is great, it’s the grind of everyday jobs, careers and work - which isn’t always fun - that provides shelter and puts food on the table. This work is indeed noble and very much essential to our existence. According to Maharishi Mahesh (meditation guide to famed individuals like John Lennon and George Harrison), a hungry man can either be mad, sad, angry and suffering, or the hungry man can choose to be in a state of gratitude, joy and happiness. No extra effort is required in either direction, but rest assured, the results vary in astounding ways. Our human nature is to demonstrate compassion for the happier, humble hungry man. This man will always be fed as he, in turn, is feeding the very souls of his providers by filling their hearts with warmth, humility and love.

So what is the action we take to “open our hearts” on a daily basis for such claimed results? In yoga, you may lie on your back with a block or bolster under your shoulder blades to elevate your heart space, allowing gravity to physically open the case around your heart. In meditation, we bring our attention to this physical space and mindfully release any tension and grip we have in this area. You will absolutely feel the physical benefits take effect immediately. It is our responsibility to abide by the hierarchy of needs by ensuring we practice in a safe place allowing for release and surrender to higher powers.

To answer my friend, we can’t achieve a state of bliss without the power of the physical body. We can’t have energy to work the physical muscle without a nourishing food source.

The two must co-exist in harmony and feed one another. Fill your heart with mounds of positive energy and your vulnerability will always be protected, or better yet, honored.

Be brave, prepare your body and get out there and open your heart. WM –Meris R. Gebhardt WM

History Tom Hallman Jr. is a Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter for The Oregonian, author and MAC member who teaches the club’s Tell-Your-Story writing class. In celebration of MAC’s 125th Anniversary, Hallman is writing a monthly essay about the club.

Two Legends Who Helped to Build the Club As We Know It

T

LeRoy Durst and Fay Sasser influenced a generation of adults who learned from them when we were children.

74 | The Wınged M |

hey exist now only in the hearts of longtime Multnomah Athletic Club members.

No official photos of them hang on a prominent wall … and not a month goes by that I don’t think about each of them.

At age 60, and a member since the ’60s, I realize the club is what it is now, in ways big and small, due to Fay Sasser and LeRoy Durst. They were as different as two people could possibly be and they influenced a generation of adults who learned from them when we were children. To call them employees does them a disservice.

You see, back in the day, the club was a smalltown community. And these two people were our extended family, as much a part of our lives as were our parents.

Fay was the club’s gatekeeper, the first face seen when we stepped into the building. She sat behind a massive oak desk that contained a list of every member. Fay called them by their proper title – Mr. or Mrs. In doing so, she taught kids manners and how to show respect in the company of adults. If a boy was sitting in a chair in the lobby and a girl was standing nearby, Fay would look over that desk, nod – just once – and the boy would quickly stand to offer up his seat. And Fay would smile.

She ran the place like an efficient general.

Nothing was out of place, and she was never frazzled. Wonder where your father might be? Stop at the front desk and Fay would tell you where he was in the building, and what time he’d likely be done.

Waiting for your mother? Fay would call out to kids sitting in the lobby, recognizing our mother’s car when it pulled into the Turnaround to pick us up after activities. She was our kindly aunt, a gentle reminder that when we were in the club, we were safe and cared for.

Now, Mr. Durst was a different kind of character.

The fact that I refer to him as Mr. Durst tells you everything you need to know about the man. That’s what every boy called him, that’s what we still call him, even though the man passed away years ago.

Girls didn’t deal with Mr. Durst, but he was a part of every boy’s life who spent time at MAC. You experienced Mr. Durst in the way you experience a summer storm. He ran the baseball team and

february 2016

the boxing program. He also served as a kind of in-house disciplinarian, appearing out of nowhere to tell boys to knock it off when we were fooling around. If he saw a boy with a shirt that wasn’t tucked in, Mr. Durst would pull the kid aside and tell him to straighten up. In later years, grown men would instinctively check that shirttail when they saw Mr. Durst approaching.

A man like Mr. Durst couldn’t exist in today’s world. Someone would complain that he was too tough and intimidating. He was. We all knew he was a former pro boxer from Nebraska. He called us by our last names. He was the first man, other than our fathers, to yell at us. We loved him for and because of it.

It took me years to understand what a generation of boys learned from Mr. Durst. The man didn’t want us to quit. We didn’t have to be champions, but we had to give it our all because it was about self-respect. We learned to dig deep. He taught us that losing was a part of life, but getting back up was more important than winning.

If you stepped into the boxing ring with him, he’d teach you how to throw a jab. But, more importantly, he showed you what it was like to have someone throw a jab right back at you. And isn’t that what life is all about?

The man had a soft side. But he kept it hidden.

Truth was, he considered us his boys.

A lasting memory of the man formed when I joined the baseball team. I was terrible. Many of the players were great athletes. I’d stand at home plate, afraid of getting drilled by the pitcher. I never got a hit. I either struck out or walked. “Hallman,” he’d bellow. “What are you doing up there?”

He stuck me in right field, the place where I’d do the least damage to the team. One afternoon, the team had a chance to win the big game if we could make a final out.

I heard the crack of a bat. The ball was headed my way. If I caught it, we’d win the game. As I saw it drop from the sky, I panicked. Then I heard that distinctive voice.

“Hallman,” Mr. Durst yelled. “You got it. I know it.” I did. And when I ran off the field, the tough old man wrapped his arm around my shoulder. WM
