he months of October and November mark a busy time for committee members and employees who are involved in managing the club’s finances. It might be called the “budget season,” akin to the tax season that Craig Iverson accountants experiTreasurer ence every year. The Budget and Finance Committee establishes and monitors the club’s annual operating budget and the related changes in club dues. The Property Committee establishes an annual capital budget of expenditures to improve and maintain the condition of the club’s premises. It then monitors the completion of the projects included in the budget as the year goes by. The process of creating an operating budget for the upcoming year begins in May with the Athletic and sport committees and finally draws to an end in November. The directors of each of the club’s departments, e.g., Athletic, Food and Beverage, Member Services, and the like, submit a proposed budget, which is then reviewed by the financial staff and rolled into an initial proposed budget for the entire club. At that point, the Budget and Finance Committee begins its review of the entire budget. The committee meets with each of the directors, reviews the proposed budget for their department, and makes any necessary adjustments to that budget. After all directors have been interviewed and adjustments have been made, the committee adopts a final budget and the related dues changes, which it recommends to the board for approval. In the budget process completed in November, the Budget and Finance Committee met nine times. John Becker chaired the committee and did an excellent job, as did all committee members. The Board of Trustees has approved the recommended operating budget for 2014 and the related dues increase of $10 per month, a 4.27 percent increase. For a family membership, monthly dues increase from $234 to $244 on Jan. 1, 2014. Corresponding increases will be made to all dues categories. The above pie chart provides information as to where your dues go. The process the Property Committee follows in arriving at a capital budget is similar to that for the operating budget. The committee received requests for capital expenditures totaling nearly $14.2 million. It met six times,

Monthly Dues Breakdown

Athletic – $102.59 Capital Funding – $49.74 Administrative and Net All Other – $29.57 Membership Services – $14.44 Property Taxes – $9.59 Food and Beverage – $8.49 Operations and Maintenance – $7.89 Information Services – $7.10 Security and Parking – $6.63 Human Resources – $6.23 The Winged M – $1.73

reviewed the requests, and interviewed the department directors and Athletic committees regarding their requests. In the final analysis, the board approved a capital budget of nearly $7.2 million. The largest capital projects approved for 2014 include remodeling of the Main Kitchen and 26 Founders ($3.5 million) and renovation of the 50-meter Pool, which is leaking ($1.9 million). The funds for capital improvements come primarily from initiation fees and a property improvement funding charge which is included in the operating budget. Tom Bard chaired the committee and also did an excellent job, as did all committee members. I have detailed the above information with the thought that the club’s members may wish to have a greater understanding as to how the club’s finances are managed. I first participated in the budget process 10 years ago as a new member of the Budget and Finance Committee, and I felt doing so was a real eye opener as to just how well the club’s finances are managed. Having been through the process several times since, I continue to believe the club’s finances are well managed and that the club is in great financial shape. The credit for that goes to the club members who volunteer to participate in the above committees, Tim Arbogast (CFO/AGM), John Foley (controller), and Belinda Potts (financial assistant).

Articles of Incorporation Inserted in this magazine is a proposed change to MAC’s Articles of Incorporation. Members who are eligible to attend the Annual Meeting may vote on these changes. Please review the changes. WM january 2014

appy New Year! In January we begin the orderly transition from our current board to a new one. Newly elected trustee candidates attend the January board meeting to listen to the issues at hand, see how our Norm Rich board operates, and General Manager begin to establish relationships with fellow trustees. New trustee candidates do not begin voting until they officially take office immediately following the Annual Meeting. Around that time a new class of officers is elected to lead the board. Our Annual Meeting this year is Tuesday, Feb. 11, beginning at 5 p.m. The Annual Meeting is a traditional event, during which members have the opportunity to hear outgoing officers address the membership on the state of the club. Immediately following the meeting, members are invited to have a grand buffet of roasted prime rib of beef, oyster pudding (a club tradition), cinnamon rolls and much more. This evening has been dressed up over the last few years, and the theme has been top secret until dinner is served. This event is hosted by the club and is free to members. Guests and children are not invited to this event, however, the club offers free child care to parents making a reservation prior to the meeting. Soon after the new trustees are sworn in and new officers are elected, the senior class of officers begins assigning committees for the new committee year beginning in April 2014. I encourage new members to attend this evening and begin learning about the club and how it operates. This is the perfect time to begin your involvement in the club. Lifelong friendships begin as this transition takes place. Being here for a few years has let me witness the true value of how members become involved and how these meaningful relationships are enriched. The committee system is a club model that provides our members with ownership, decision-making powers, and partnership with management. Our members are extremely interested and involved in their club and want make it a better place. I know members and management strive to preserve tradition while continually building upon our strengths, improving through athletic excellence, and pioneering with a social conscience that caters to all.

Making space In January, New Year’s resolutions start, and the Exercise and Conditioning space, personal trainers and studios are in high demand. Over the past 18 months we have added more exercise space, upgraded two studios, and initiated more classes – as many as the studios can hold at relevant times. In the future, we are looking to add more functional training space by moving athletic offices off of the basement level. We are studying the best way to accomplish this as cost effectively as possible. Due to budget restraints, executing this concept cannot happen until 2015 at the earliest. In order to maximize your workout during the busy four to six weeks at the beginning of the year, I encourage you to try to work out during non-peak hours (peak hours are early morning, midday, late afternoon and early evening). Working out at your pace is less stressful and better for your health. Normality quickly returns to athletic areas and I want to encourage you to work out year round for a healthier lifestyle. Our staff is looking forward to the challenge of serving everyone well.

Child Care I want to acknowledge all the great work that our Child Care staff does for our young members and their families. Dawna Yntema and her staff are awesome and never cease to amaze. They are serving a very important part of our membership and catering to our future generation. Dawna and the staff not only serve the Child Care community, they run a popular playschool that is fully subscribed, with waiting lists to attend. Dawna’s staff also includes Kim Conner, who keeps a watchful eye on our after-school students, and they adore her. Thanks to our entire Child Care staff for all you do!

Farewell Dwayne Last month the club announced Dwayne Brantley’s retirement in June of 2014. Dwayne has tirelessly served the club for the last 48 years, and knows the inner workings of your facilities best. He is working with the Facilities Department to make an orderly transition that preserves our maintenance history and helps us move forward. I want to thank Dwayne for his service and acknowledge his love and passion for your club. We wish Dwayne a great retirement. The Board of Trustees has extended a special courtesy membership for Dwayne and his wife Joyce, honoring his service to the club. We will miss you Dwayne, and thank you for your service and loving care for the club. WM january 2014

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.

The Becker Value Equity Fund received a ★★★★★ Overall Morningstar Rating as of 11/30/13 out of 1,059 Large Cap Value Funds. The Fund had the following rating for the 3-year period: ★★★★ out of 1,059 Large Cap Value Funds, ★★★★ for the 5-year period out of 940 Large Cap Value Funds, and ★★★★★ for the 10-year period out of 610 Large Cap Value Funds. Morningstar Rankings represent a fund’s total-return percentile rank relative to all funds that have the same Morningstar Category. The highest percentile rank is 1 and the lowest is 100. It is based on Morningstar total return, which includes both income and capital gains or losses and is not adjusted for sales charges or redemption fees. Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Small and mid capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies.

ADMINISTRATIVE sports shorts

appy New Year! If you are like most people, this time of year has you re-evaluating where you are, what you are doing and what you want to do during the next 12 months. For some that includes a fitness resolution. Ed Stoner Here’s a tip. Many Athletic Director psychologists note if you call it a goal rather than a resolution, you are more likely to achieve it. Anyway, this time of year has me thinking about new programming possibilities and laying out the calendar for the year. Whether contemplating how to maximize the utilization of our clubhouse space, to possibly providing some international group travel options for golf and hiking, the MAC Athletic staff and I have been thinking about the coming year too. One of the ideas that came forward was to provide the opportunity for each athletic manager to write a column in the magazine over the course of the year. Much like the trustees periodically write an article as part of the President’s column, this year, each athletic manager gets the chance to showcase their department through the Sport Shorts column. This helps put the faces and names associated with each department together. Next month, Outdoor Manager Chad Failla is the first guest columnist. His column should coincide with the opening of our new bouldering wall in the East Gym, and provide results from ABS Divisionals and possibly Nationals for MAC’s climbing team, which recently earned the honor of first place at regionals. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to meet our managers and learn more about the various athletic departments at MAC. As for one of my goals noted earlier, I would love to hear from you regarding what type of athletic trip interests you most: a golf trip to Ireland or Scotland, a walking/hiking tour with some wine tasting in Italy or Croatia, a visit to the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York, or some other adventure with your MAC friends and family. Visit the AD blog on theMAC.com for more details, and please let me know your thoughts via e-mail at estoner@themac.com or via Twitter @MAC_AthleticDir. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you around the club all year achieving your fitness goals. WM

POWERING

FACES IN THE CLUB Portland State University wide receiver Kasey Closs, right, No. 89, just finished a stellar season for the Vikings in his redshirt junior year. He was the team’s leading receiver across all major categroies, catching 63 passes for 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns, including an 87-yard touchdown in the Vikings’ near upset of California in September. Closs, a standout student and athlete at Lake Oswego in high school, took a circuitous path to reach his football dreams. He was hoping to play for Oregon State, but suffered back-to-back injuries his senior year of high school, and started playing at Saddleback Junior College in Northern Califronia. He eventually transferred to Portland State, but injuries led him to redshirt his junior year. He spent the year on the scout team, and immersed himself in the Vikings playbook. His hard work paid off, as he finished the season with the third most receiving yards in school history, and was named third team all conference in the Big Sky.

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

MAC Scholar Athlete Henry Rocker scored the game-winning goal in Jesuit’s 2-1 victory in the Oregon State 6A Championship soccer game in November, leading the Crusaders to their second consecutive title and a perfect in-state record. Rocker scored in the 41st minute, an insurance goal Jesuit needed after rival Central Catholic scored in the second half. Rocker was also named first team All-Metro League. Rocker has also played on the ODP/Timbers Development team, along with the Westside Forza club. The Jesuit junior is involved in many activities outside of soccer, including the Special Olympics, and serving meals at Potlucks in the Park.

Past MAC Treasurer Jim Flynn reached the 5 million vertical foot award at Canadian Mountain Holiday’s Adamants Lodge. Flynn joins past MAC President Stephen (Skip) Frank and Dr. Michael (Dr. Deep) Barmache in this achievement. The means of transportation was quite different than when he first started skiing. Flynn started when he was about 4, riding up a rope tow at Moore Park in Klamath Falls, between his Dad’s legs as he was not big enough to ride by himself. Today the ride is a twin engine, Bell 212 helicopter, which seats 11 skiers and a guide. Skip Frank introduced Flynn to  CMH Heli Skiing in 1993.

In October, athletic member Aaron Garner played in the U.S. Handball Open at the Los Caballeros Sports Complex in Fountain Valley, Calif. The competition was stiff, as the best players in the world gathered to compete for more than $120,000 in prize money. During the tournament, Garner beat Martin Mullerins. Mullerins is the current Collegiate Champion and was a finalist at the U.S. Nationals in June. Garner is currently ranked No. 8 in the world by World Pro Handball. Garner was an All American collegiate handball player and captain of his team at Pacific University. He is also a multiple-time Oregon state handball champion.

MAC’s newest rock climbing member coach is internationally renowned climber Timy Fairfield. Fairfield is an iconic figure in the U.S. climbing community, as one of only three North American men to ever win a world climbing competition. Since leaving his competitive career behind, Fairfield has become a soughtafter route setter, coach and advisor, and recently developed a new type of flooring being used by bouldering walls across the country, including the new wall under construction at MAC. Fairfield has worked with the MAC team in the past, providing an intense, two-day class in fall of 2011 that helped springboard the team to its first regional championship. january 2014

MAC Scholar Athlete Cameron Scarlett scored on a 47-yard touchdown run in the third quarter of the Oregon 6A State Championship game at JELD-WEN Field to give Central Catholic a lead it never relinquished. The junior had 10 carries for 78 yards during the Rams 38-28 win over Jesuit. Central Catholic finished 14-0, winning its first state title in 60 years. Scarlett ran the ball 141 times for 1,640 yards and 22 touchdowns on the season, including a monster game against Tigard in which he ran the ball 15 times for 356 yards and five touchdowns. Scarlett was also a potent receiving threat, catching 33 passes for 674 yards and seven touchdowns, and adding four more scores on kick returns.

Resolve to Discover a Dish in 2014 T

he new year always bring with it new challenges and experiences that can change who we are and how we live our lives. I am fairly certain that my New Year’s resolutions are a little different than most, as mine tend more toward the new culinary experiences in which I can immerse myself. I have found that the writing of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy has been influential in my journey. My favorite quote is, “The Cameron discovery of a new dish does more for the McMurray happiness of mankind than the discovery of Food and Beverage a star.” director The year ahead will again be one with change and new experiences for the members. The MAC culinary team is not one to sit on its laurels. Its members continue to push their skills, looking for and learning how to bring new flavors and techniques to MAC. In addition to the culinary team, we have managers, a mixologist and serving staff that are all a part of the creative process. In 2014 the club continues to have new premium private label bourbon and a 2012 vintage Pinot Noir proudly

displaying the Winged M on their labels. The staff has many new projects in the works, including a cooking class for people who might want to surprise a loved one on Valentine’s Day. The club takes great care to ensure that needed repairs are taken care of and maintenance of the property is ongoing. To that end, we are replacing the kitchen floor and bringing important areas up to code. This construction causes disruption to the Men’s Bar and Grand Ballroom during July and August 2014. During this period we will be sure to keep the Sports Pub running on all cylinders with a selection of Men’s Bar favorites, and Joe’s offerings will remain available. Additionally, the Sun Deck and tent area will be enhanced, with help from the Athletics Department, specialty events, music and our SHINE service. New menus and expanded hours of operation will make the Sun Deck Pool a spot where MAC members make a summer splash. With all MAC’s offerings and continued friendships, it is the place where resolutions can be fun and rewarding. Brillat-Savarin also said, “The Creator, who made man such that he must eat to live, causes him to eat by means of appetite, and for a reward, gives him pleasure in eating.” Happy New Year members. May all your resolutions be enjoyable. WM

Nicky U.S.A. is a leading purveyor of high-quality, sustainable game birds and meats in the Pacific Northwest, and has enjoyed a long relationship with Chef Boulot, providing products such as rabbit, beef, lamb, elk, duck and foie gras for many of Boulot’s dishes throughout the years. The dinner takes place in 26 Founders and costs $55 per person. No corkage fee. Call 503-517-6629 for reservations.

Wine Wednesdays Join MAC and taste wines from Forest Grove’s Apolloni Vineyards at the next Wine Wednesday event, from 5:30-7 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the Reading Lounge.

The Sports Pub’s January Beer Tasting and Pairing Dinner features Pfriem Family Brewers on Saturday, Jan. 18 from 5-9 p.m. Sous Chef Deanna Bascom has designed a special a la carte menu featuring duck confit pizza, crispy oysters, and raclette with crispy potato, pickled shallot and cornichons. The evening includes tastings of three Pfriem beers, and each entrée includes a pint of beer. Entrées start at $15. Pfriem is Hood River’s newest brewery, having opened in 2012. They make beers that are, according to co-founder Josh Pfriem, influenced by the great brewers of Belgium, but unmistakably true to their homegrown roots in the Pacific Northwest. Reservations are not required or accepted.

ungeness crab, named after a small fishing village on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington, have been harvested commercially along the Pacific coast since the late 1800s. They range from central California to the Gulf of Alaska, and have long been part of the Northwest’s seafood heritage. The annual MAC Oregon Dungeness Crab Feed celebrates the opening of the 2013-2014 season. The crab is a favorite among those seeking sustainable seafood options, as the Marine Stewardship Council has certified the Oregon Dungeness crab as a sustainable fishery, and Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch rates Oregon Dungeness crab as a “best choice.” The menu, prepared by Sous Chef Phil Oswalt, includes Caesar salad, garlic-cheddar bread, clam chowder, crab-stuffed button mushrooms, sauteed broccolini and root vegetable hash, crab and roasted tomato pasta, potato boulanger, prime rib, Oregon Dungeness crab on ice, and a host of homemade desserts. The celebration takes place in the Men’s Bar from 5-9 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21 through Saturday, Jan. 25, and Tuesday, Feb. 18 through Saturday, Feb. 22. The cost is $39 per person and seating is limited. Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 503-517-6629. WM

In Memoriam Elaine Maxine Bennett Sept. 21, 1929 – Nov. 2, 2013 Senior family preferred member Elaine Maxine Bennett died Nov. 2 from complications of a rare blood disorder. She was 84. Elaine was born in Silverton, on Sept. 21, 1929, to Grant and Clara Rue. She spent her early years in Silverton. During her teenage years, the family moved to Milwaukie. On Nov. 3, 1951, Elaine married the love of her life, J. Floyd Bennett, in Milwaukie, where they lived until her death. Elaine taught Sunday school at Milwaukie Lutheran Church for many years. She was a volunteer at the Oregon Historical Society for 28 years and at RIO (the Rehab Institute of Oregon) for 10 years. She was a loving wife, mother and nana. First and foremost she enjoyed her family. She loved to travel with her husband and family. She was always ready to play any type of game and she loved nature, especially the birds and squirrels she fed in her backyard. She lived a full and happy life. She never missed an opportunity to laugh or smile. She loved life and her family! She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Floyd Bennett; sons, Ron (Beccy) Bennett and Brad (Jennifer) Bennett; daughters, Susan (Will) Schrage, Diane Bennett and Sharon Bennett; granddaughters, Courtney (Andy) Stewart, Katie Schrage, Kendall and Ellie Bennett; brother, Marvin Rue; one niece; and four nephews. The family suggests that remembrances be made in her name to support the Oregon Humane Society, the Audubon Society, or any charity of your choice.

Helen Dyer McCann Nov. 4, 1924 – Oct. 20, 2013 Senior preferred member Helen Dyer McCann died peacefully at her home on the farm following a short illness on Oct. 20. Born in Seattle on Nov. 4, 1924, Helen was the only child of Helen and Eugene Dyer. “Coco” was a terrific mother and friend. She enjoyed a lifelong fascination with animals. She was an avid equestrian competing in horse shows until the age of 82. After moving to Portland, she graduated from Lincoln High School (1941), and Mills College (1945), with a zoology degree. Coco married Jackson Buckley McCann (19242009) after World War II. She worked for the University of Oregon teaching biology. Coco and Jack raised their family in Lake Oswego, where she was active in Oswego Lake Garden Club, Oswego Hunt Club and beloved Wednesday Group. A talented artist, she enjoyed pottery and tole painting.

In 1978, Coco and Jack moved to the farm in Newberg, where Coco enjoyed raising horses, cattle, sheep and chickens. She especially loved sharing the farm and her many animals with her grandchildren. Coco is survived by her children, Karen, Jackson and Andrew; their spouses; and nine grandchildren.

Lowell C. Dayton Sept. 26, 1946 – Aug. 31, 2013 Nonresident member Lowell C. Dayton died peacefully at his home in Bow, Washington on Aug. 31. Born in Napa, Idaho, he graduated from DeSales High School in Walla Walla, Wash. Lowell received his B.S. in Business from Linfield College. He was a football linebacker at the Bremerton Community College and at Linfield College. After college, he started his career with Travelers Insurance Company, then went to work in warehouse management in Cold Storage Business with Terminal Ice and Cold Storage. His father, mother and brother David had long careers with Terminal Ice. In 1984 he started his own cold storage business, Terminal Freezers, Inc., with his brother David and Gale Bernik. Lowell served as the CEO and President. The Company was sold in 2011 and Lowell served on the purchasing company’s Board of Directors. He is a long time member of the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses. He was instrumental in the founding of Fresh Innovations, LLC a successful packaged apple slice business.

For the past 25 years Lowell and Sandra divided their time between Bow, Wash. and Bermuda Dunes, Calif.. He was a member of Bermuda Dunes Country Club, The Plantation Golf Club, and Skagit Valley Golf and Country Club. Lowell, with Sandra, enjoyed many years and miles transporting their two young boys to basketball games and camps in Southern California. He was extremely proud of his youngest sons’ basketball success as well as his oldest son’s management accomplishments in the family’s cold storage business. The family traveled extensively together, most recently spending a month in Ireland after attending a Notre Dame versus Navy football game in Dublin. Notre Dame, along with the Washington State Cougars, were his favorite schools. Whether you were a family member, a business colleague or a friend, you experienced Lowell’s initial shyness easing into a gentle, relaxed smile followed by a joke or story. Lowell’s many business accomplishments are overshadowed by his quiet, unassuming, gentle nature. He treated everyone equally and enjoyed his many friends. Lowell was a very caring and amazing husband. He will be missed. He is survived by his wife Sandra (Swanson) and his sons Timothy, Spenser and Sean. Additionally, he is survived by mother-in-law Earline Swanson, sister-in-laws Carol (Dayton) Votendahl (Jerry), Shirline Swanson, Sharline Lundgren (Raymond), Susan Fredlund, numerous nieces and nephews Jon Brashear (Megan), Justin Lundgren (Jodi), Michael Fredlund (Tara), Joshua Fredlund (Tracie) and Jessica Fredlund. Lowell was preceded in death by his daughter Erin, mother Alice, father Arthur, brother David, father-in-law Philip Swanson, and brother-in law Delbert Fredlund. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the following organizations: The Algers, Wash. Food Share Program, Operations Smile, or Bermuda Dunes Food Share Program.

Michael David Fick Feb. 26, 1962 – Oct. 25, 2013 Senior member Michael David Fick died Oct. 25. He was 51. Michael “Mike” David Fick was born in Portland, the son of George Mathew Fick Sr. and Nancy Evelyn Fick (Moran). Mike graduated from Jesuit High School in Portland and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Portland State University. He was an officer in the United States Air Force. He suffered from serious health issues later in life, which he bore without complaint. However, he never forgot St. Paul’s injunction Continued on page 19 january 2014

ADMINISTRATIVE Continued from page 17

In Memoriam in Galatians 6:2 to “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Mike could often be found volunteering to feed the homeless, and donating money to organizations that assisted those less fortunate than him. He is survived by his loving brother, George “Matt” Mathew Fick Jr. of Chico, Calif. He is predeceased by his parents.

Richard Patrick Scanlon Aug. 12, 1942 – Nov. 5, 2013 Senior family preferred member Richard “Pat” Patrick Scanlon died Nov. 5. He was 71. He was born Aug. 12, 1942 – and as he told the story – his father, Kenny, took one look at him and said, “He doesn’t look like a Dick to me.” So, he was called Pat, but also, “R.P.,” “the Big Guy,” “the ‘ganizer,” husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He grew up in Southeast Portland, attended Kellogg School and Franklin High School. He graduated from the University of Oregon and was a proud member of the ATO fraternity. During his adolescence, Pat survived a potentially fatal disease (Cushing’s syndrome) that may have stunted his growth, but helped build his character. He lived life intentionally, said yes more than no, became the organizer (“the ‘ganizer”) of many trips and gatherings for friends and family, and loved airplanes, the Oregon Ducks and most anything that involved being outdoors, including hiking and golf. He had a unique hitch in his golf swing that, in spite of much help, never quite went away. Luckily for him, what he lost on the course he won back at the card table. He taught us about love, friendship, honesty, loyalty, humor and courage. A true friend to so many, Pat was one of the good guys. He is survived by his wife, Susan; children, Heather (Mark Bolton), Patrice (Stuart Massey) and Christopher; brother, Bob (Brigitte); and grandchildren, Trever and Shane Bolton, Ripley and Sawyer Massey. The family suggests remembrances be made in Pat’s name to support Friends of the Children, Stand Up To Cancer or any charity of your choice.

Way William Lee July 17, 1924 – Oct. 25, 2013 Senior preferred member Way William Lee passed away at his home Oct. 25. He was 89. Way was born in Portland at NW 4th on July 17, 1924. He was the second son of Benson Lee and Wong Shee Lee.

Way attended Atkinson School and Benson Polytechnic High. He went on to study industrial engineering at Oregon State College. His college studies were interrupted during World War II, where he served as a forward scout in the Fourth Army. He fought in several campaigns including the St. Lo Breakthrough, the Liberation of France and the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest. He went on to fight in the Battle of the Bulge, where he was among the first group of forward scouts to report the counterattack by the Germans that began that campaign. As the Allies pushed forward towards Berlin, he was injured by a mortar shell. He received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his service. Upon his return to the States and after his recovery in VA hospitals, he resumed his engineering studies at Oregon State. He also minored in opera as a tenor and won a scholarship to study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, and another to study in Italy. However, he decided to continue his engineering studies and graduated with a degree in industrial engineering in 1949. In 1952, he married Priscilla Loy, the third daughter of Kong Loy and Rose Fong Loy. Way and Priscilla founded Way W. Lee General Contractor and began building houses. The company built more than 1,000 houses all over the city, and was one the primary developers of the Reedwood neighborhood north of Reed College. One model home he designed and built attracted 30,000 visitors during its six weeks of open houses. The company also built commercial buildings and multifamily buildings, including what are now known as the Jupiter Hotel, Doug Fir Lounge, Canyon Park and Garden Park Apartments. Way served as a board member of the Oregon State Scenic Board, and he served on the Housing Authority of Portland in the 1980s, overseeing the remodeling and maintenance of Portland public housing. He was also one of the first Asian members of the Royal Rosarians and MAC. Since graduating from OSU, he has been a major financial contributor and president’s club member. Way had a passion for cooking, spending a lifetime honing the skills and techniques he learned as a child in his father’s restaurant. He continued singing as a hobby and in the 1960s he auditioned with the Portland Opera where he was offered the role of lead tenor. Already a successful contractor with a growing company and family, he passed on this opportunity, but took great pride in this achievement. Way is survived by his daughters, Dayle Anderson and Tracy Onchi; sons, Ken and Randy; six grandchildren; and older brother, Bryan Lee. He was preceded in death by wife, Priscilla; and younger brother, Tot Lee. WM january 2014

A DMINISTR A TIVE

The 50-meter Pool closes from mid-June through mid-October for major renovations and improvements.

FACILITIES

Main Kitchen and Grand Ballroom Close for Remodeling during Summer of 2014 Sports Pub Service Stations – I $66,191 n 2014, nearly $7.2 million is expected to be invested in capital projects that help make MAC safer, address ongoing maintenance issues, improve energy efficiency and update the facility. Major projects include:

Remodel Main Kitchen and Grand Ballroom – $3,456,062 Closure of the Men’s Bar, Grand Ballroom and MACtinis in the summer months The Main Kitchen is the source of occasional water leaks in the Women’s Locker Room on the basement level. Unfortunately, repairing this leak requires a costly and disruptive project. To eliminate the leaks, a waterproof membrane needs to be installed under the floor. To accomplish this, the entire kitchen must be removed down to the structure and then reinstalled. The remodel also includes upgrades to the wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems. In addition to the kitchen work, the Grand Ballroom gets upgraded finishes, and 26 Founders is replaced to provide direct entry into the Men’s Bar, a private dining wine room, and a new service corridor.

Renovation of 50-meter Pool – $1,861,937 Closure of 50-meter Pool from mid-June through mid-October Water Technology Inc. assessed the current conditions of the 50-meter Pool and recommended improvements, which are

included in the renovation of the pool. Improvements include a new pool finish, replacement of the pool deck tile and deck drains, as well as the removal of the raised curb to create a similar pool design as the West Pool.

The Men’s Bar, Grand Ballroom and MACtinis close during the summer months. Rest Rooms across from Child Care – $234,495 Spring – low level of member disruption The existing restrooms in Phase 3 show signs of wear and need to be replaced. Other than occasional repairs, the space is original construction and is badly dilapidated. This complete remodel would include new finish materials, plumbing fixtures, mirrors, and ‘hands-free’ accessories. One of each plumbing fixture type and vanity top will be child-sized.

Water Heaters – $160,217 Spring – no member disruption Four double-wall heat exchangers for domestic hot water for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 buildings are scheduled for replacement because the current units have failing internal tube systems.

Winter – low level of member disruption The existing service station in the Sports Pub leaks into the Men’s Locker Room on the basement level. Installing a new waterproof membrane under the floor tiles and new plumbing features will improve the space. Stainless steel cabinetry and countertops enhance the service station. Since this service station is the single source for supplies, such as takeout boxes and condiments, a second service station will be created. This second service station will help Food and Beverage meet the action item to “improve speed, accuracy and friendliness of service in the Sports Pub.” Positioned on the west side upper level, this convenient location will provide access for efficient service needs.

Switch Gear Phase 3 – $55,000 July 4 closure of phase three services – high level of member disruption The replacement of the switch gear in the member Parking Structure was delayed because plan revisions had to be made to meet current code. The gear will be relocated to a wall mounted cabinet outside the member Parking Structure on the west end. The concrete pad will do double duty as a designated employee smoking area in accordance with the Portland Smoke Free Workplace law. WM

ADMINISTRATIVE Membership

No Parking After April 1 without Yellow Stickers In order to park in the member Parking Structure after April 1, 2014, members must display a new yellow parking decal on the front windshield of their vehicles. The new stickers are being issued through the Concierge Desk for all vehicles registered with the club. In order to receive the new stickers, members must contact the Concierge Desk in person or by phone to verify that all of their demographic information and vehicle information in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s database is accurate. The project has two important objectives: 1) to bring the member database up to date and 2) to assure that only vehicles owned by active members are parking in the garage at peak times. With parking spaces at a premium, the club needs to closely monitor who has access to the parking facility. The process involves verifying the following information for every person on the membership: name, date of birth, marital status, telephone numbers, addresses and

emails. Members must also ensure that every vehicle they drive to the club is registered correctly by make, model, color and license plate number. On a family membership, one of the adults may complete this task for the entire family, but that member must review the information for everyone on the account and correct any missing or obsolete data. After these steps are completed, staff issues new parking decals for all registered vehicles. Each sticker has a unique number, so members must take care to put the stickers on the vehicle to which it is assigned. This enables club staff to identify and contact the owner in the event of an accident or for parking enforcement. Parking decals may not be transferred from one vehicle to another. Unfortunately this project cannot be completed electronically through the website, but staff will do everything possible to expedite the process. Vehicle registration is available at the Concierge Desk weekdays from 7:30 a.m.6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Members may also contact Member Services during office hours from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Members who recently received yellow parking decals for their vehicles do not need to take further action until they need to add or delete a vehicle.

ADMINISTRATIVE Parking

Garage Gets Busy, but it’s a Convenience The club’s goal is to maintain and improve parking availability for members and guests. Statistics show that club usage by MAC membership is up over the past decade, while the number of outside events has trended lower. The club has adopted a member priority parking policy to maximize member parking availability. Before our Parking Structure reaches 75 percent capacity, MAC directs non-members to park in auxiliary parking areas, saving the remainder of our spaces for member use only. This policy has generally been effective in maintaining adequate parking for members during peak demand periods. The club also provides incentives for members and guests to use alternative transportation to the club. The Concierge issues a complimentary return-trip Tri-Met ticket in exchange for a valid transfer receipt dated the same day. To increase parking awareness, the club maintains a color-coded Parking Alert on its website and Tweets regular parking alerts. MAC encourages everyone to take advantage of these helpful parking tools. The club is also actively involved in a partnership with a property developer to add 225 parking spaces

A Fresh Perspective on Portland Real Estate.

“I could not recommend Betsy Rickles more highly. We were selling our home and looking for a new house for the first time in 20 years. Betsy understood our needs and our schedules and was always responsive. Her local knowledge is the deepest possible – we tease her that she is related by blood or marriage to half the town and knows most of it. Plus, she is the most fun person to be around and who wouldn’t want to be with someone you like and completely trust in such personal transaction? At several points our potential purchase of a new home got complicated. Betsy knew the answers to our questions or did whatever research she needed to find the answer. She’s the best.” —Sandra Rowe, Portland Heights “We recently sold our home through the good offices of Betsy Menefee Rickles and Tamra Dimmick. I can heartily recommend them to anybody interested in a pair of honest hard-working realtors… Our house was a very different contemporary home built for two adults which narrowed the market. Betsy and Tamra suggested some modest and relatively inexpensive changes so that it would appeal to a wider clientele. The two of them were delightful to work with and their integrity and fairness was beyond reproach. If and when I sell a home again, I will use them as my realtors.” —Herb Goodman, Portland Heights

“Selling a home is an emotional experience but when you receive great advice from your real estate agent, it makes the process less painful. Betsy knew our neighborhood well and gave us sound guidance on preparing our home and ourselves, focusing on the highest-priority items. She has good relationships with other agents who could bring prospects to our home. Betsy has a network of contractors who were available on short notice to help with a variety of tasks that needed to be accomplished quickly. Her assistant, Tamra, is very competent and kind, so that even when Betsy was not available the process went on smoothly. We recommend Betsy and Tamra because they are thoughtful, professional and fun!” —Lora and Jim Meyer, Portland Heights “We have bought and sold property in Colombia, the UK and the US before but we had never experienced the quality and personal attention to detail that we experienced this past summer with Windermere and Betsy Rickles in particular. She was the best representative we could have had. She understood and worked through our needs and limitations with an expertise that made the process seem effortless and the transitions very smooth. We are so impressed with the quality of her work, that we would unreservedly recommend her as the best estate agent in Portland.” —Alejandro Renjifo and Sandra Iragorri, Portland Heights

Terri Cook

Banks Hall

Sean Ryan

Versatility is key when competing in the decathlon, but Terri Cook takes her multisport talents to a new level. In addition to winning her age group in the decathlon for the second straight year in 2013, she also won the Mid-Amateur Division at the MAC Golf Championships for the third consecutive year in October 2012. Cook has also competed in the team decathlon the past seven years. And her participation goes beyond competing in the events. Cook has been a member of the Decathlon Committee since 2007 and the Golf Committee since 2010. During the year, she helped bring in exhibitors for the club’s first golf expo, and helped organize the golf scamble. She was also nominated for the MAC Golfer of the Year award. At the 2013 Decathlon Banquet, she was presented with the Doreen Morris Award, which is given annually to the female decathlete that shows leadership and sportsmanship over the year. She also chaired the Decathlon Committee in 2010 and 2012. “Terri always has a smile on her face and never takes herself too seriously,” says Frank Sherwood, a friend and fellow Decathlon Committee member. “I’ve watched her lose a close competition that she’s poured her heart into or watched her win a hard fought match, and she’s never made excuses for a loss or gloated about a win. She just exemplifies the positive qualities of the ideal athlete. I should also add that Terri is extremely humble and never acknowledges the extent of her accomplishments. She does take pride in her performance but again, never brags about her accomplishments or complains about her defeats.” Sherwood shared a story of a recent text message she got in which Cook excitedly shared that she made a hole in one. “She’s the type of person that when she shares something like this with you, you know it’s a really huge deal to her,” he said. “I was happy to share in her excitement and joy over the event.”

During the 2012 Junior Olympics National Championships, Banks Hall had what his coaches called “ a very un-Banks-like performance,” making it one of the most disappointing outings of his career. During the same meet in 2013, he showed why he’s such an outstanding competitor. Hall had one of the best meets of his life during the 2013 National Championship meet at the Rose Garden, winning a national championship on the bars and second place in the all-around competition. It was the first boys championship in 20 years at MAC, and earned Hall a slot on the University of Washington’s gymnastics team. “Last year at nationals, I had the worst meet of my life and fell on every event,” Hall says. “My goal was to prove to myself that I could do well enough to advance to the second day of competition. I just wanted to do better than last year.” He certainly accomplished that goal. “Other coaches have used Banks’ story to teach their kids you can recover,” says gymnastics coach Rob Saliski. Hall was also a leader of the MAC gymnastics team, both in and out of the classroom, earning Academic All-American status all four years of high school. Hall’s parents steered him into gymnastics early – he started in MAC’s recreational program at age 4. “I was invited to try out for the team when I was 6 or 7, so I have literally grown up in this gym.” Hall is especially proud to be a part of MAC history, ending the program’s national championship drought. “I had no idea that I would be in this standing at MAC,” he says. I am really proud to be a MAC gymnast. We have a great team, great coaches and we support each other 100 percent. The awards we win are really for the entire MAC team.” Hall, a freshman at Washington, is majoring in electrical engineering and hopes to work on developing the next generation of artificial limbs.

Sean Ryan continues to impress on and off the squash courts. He won the open title at the MAC’s Club Championships in April, was second in the Oregon state over-40 tournament, third in the state open championships, was third in the U.S. Master’s over-45 championships, and is currently ranked second in his age group in the U.S. But beyond those athletic accomplishments, he is also a great ambassador of the game, according to MAC Squash Pro Khalid Mir. He regularly stops by clinics to lend pointers to MAC’s growing junior squash community. Ryan has also been instrumental in the organization and running of MAC’s tournaments. He has developed extensive and complicated draws and volunteered countless hours at the tournament desk, answering questions, entering data into the U.S. Squash database, and solving the crises that inevitably arise. He attends the Squash Committee without fail and offers valuable feedback and animated input. He is never afraid to voice his opinion and never reluctant to offer help. Squash Pro Khalid Mir said his enthusiasm is “infectious.” He noted that Ryan is happy to help anyone with their game, regardless of their age. Ryan always contributes great ideas on how to improve facilities, from helping maintenance adopt better court-cleaning techniques, to spearheading the installation of WiFi in the Squash Lounge. He is also working to untangle the tricky question of what video equipment best suits the training needs of MAC’s squash players. Ryan also volunteers at the Family Squash Clinics. His love of the game is infectious. And he’s well-rounded. He also found the time this year to run two half marathons. “Sean is a fantastic athletic member and ambassador for the sport of squash at MAC,” says Squash Committee Chair Marcia Wood.

Elli Wiita

Nate Asby

Bud Fields

MAC’s Elli Wiita continued her rise through the ranks of the U.S. synchronized swimming program over the past year, securing a spot on the nation’s No. 1 team and setting her sites on the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero. Elli joins her sister Katy as the only MAC synchro swimmers to ever make National Team One, which represents the U.S. in top-level international competitions. Making the team this year was important, because USA Synchro recently decided to select a team earlier for the Olympics, and its intent is to keep a core group of swimmers together to train for the 2015 Pan Am Games and the 2016 Olympics. Elli has already competed with the team at World Championships in Shanghai, China. The National Team appointment, however, was just one of Elli’s accomplishments this year. Earlier in 2013, she made the U.S. Junior National Team that went on to win a gold medal at the UANA Junior Synchronized Swimming Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico in August. In the process, they beat the Canadian National Team for the first time since 2007. The Olympic berth for the Americas is based on victory at the 2015 Pan Am games, so the win bodes well for the team’s Olympic chances. Half of the score in junior synchro is the score for figures. Elli finished seventh overall in the competition, and fourth among Americans. She was 16 at the time, and scored the highest of any 16 year old. The next closest finished 15th. The placing was a sign of Elli’s rapid improvement. In May, during team tryouts, she had placed ninth in qualifying for the team. At MAC, Elli also pulled off a rare double last year, winning both the high-point award, and the most-improved award, a prize based strictly on calculating average scores over the past two years.

It typically takes about eight to 12 years for a karate student to reach the black belt level. And many never make it that far, giving up early on in their practice. Nate Asby never gave up. More than a quarter century after his first karate lesson, Asby earned his black belt in 2013. Asby was born with cerebral palsy, which has left him with limited use of one hand and balance issues. He makes up for that physical limitation with tenacity and dedication. He rarely misses a class and always arrives early. He also augments his MAC training with two weekly sparring sessions in Hillsboro. He consistently comes to class with a positive, upbeat attitude and is friendly to the other students. When asked to help out, teach a class or work with beginners, he is always willing. And he also rides dressage – a competitive equestrian sport – keeping him even busier. “He has to work harder than all of us,” says Karate Committee Chair Laurie Farwell. “It is clear to adults and children alike that Nate experiences frustration when learning new moves or katas; what is equally clear and truly inspirational is how he works through this frustration. He never uses his Cerebral Palsy as an excuse, he just keeps working to improve his performance. Asby practiced karate for 26 years before earning his black belt during testing and a ceremony in October. He has no plans to stop there. He says his first-degree black belt is “just the beginning,” and hopes to earn a higher rank. He also plans to give back to the karate community by refereeing and judging tournaments. When Asby earned his black belt, Sensei Junki Yoshida said a few words about one of his favorite students. “Nate is one of those students who comes to every single training – he is always there contributing his energy and enthusiasm. He is a huge inspiration to me because he never ever gives up. When he hits you his hand is as strong as steel!”

Inspiration comes in many forms. Some people inspire through exhortations from the pulpit. Other inspire through brave action on the battlefield. Perhaps the most effective method of all is to inspire people to action through example. People notice others who quietly and effectively demonstrate what the ideas of inspiration and leadership are all about on the ground level. Many MAC members have noticed Bud Fields’ inspirational commitment and style. He leads by example, and has been doing so since joining MAC in 1950, always succeeding in the club’s mission of enriching others’ lives, fostering friendships and helping to build upon the excellence MAC’s athletic programs represent in the community and beyond. Fields spent many years on the on the Squash Committee, and still acts as an unofficial advisor and scorekeeper. His 60-plus year commitment to the game has inspired several generations of squash athletes. They say that half of life is showing up. Well, Fields still shows up at age 86 to all MAC’s squash tournaments, where he supports, helps, and discusses all things squash with any willing participant. He started playing squash in 1956 in local, regional and national tournaments. His last national tournament was in 2005, where he placed third in singles, but he has been to the finals many times throughout his tenure. Fields still plays once a week, which is an inspiration on its own. “He’s a friendly, approachable person whose personality and experience has lent itself well to personal and professional success,” says squash chair Marcia Wood. “He is an inspiration to any squash player or athlete who witnesses him down at the courts at his ripe old age of 86.” “People sometimes ask if he’s still around when they haven’t seen him in a while down at the courts. I am pleased to say Bud is still going strong and is very active in our squash community.

Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award Nominees

Timm Locke

Greg Marshall

Aaron Paulson

Timm Locke has an infectious passion for the sport of racquetball. A passion enhanced by a two decade absence from the sport. He played in high school and college before stepping away from the court for 20 years. Then his son Charlie, fresh off an inspirational third place finish at Junior Nationals in Minneapolis, challenged him. “Dad, I think I can beat you,” he said. This was 12 years ago, and Timm barely escaped with the victory over his 10-yearold son. The match fueled his competitive spirit. He started playing regularly, joining the intramurals program. It wasn’t long before he was asked to get involved. He became a team captain and had a string of six straight league championships. Locke improves his play by competing against people who are better than him, and has worked his way up to the second highest level of play out of 13. That said, he is willing to play anyone at anytime. He’s happy to play someone at a lower level if they’re without a playing partner on a Thursday night. Over the years, Locke has worked tirelessly to promote the sport. He has played in and hosted exchanges against a number of different clubs, and served as commissioner of MAC’s intramural league. He also worked to grow the sport by adding new events like Thanksgiving and Super Bowl doubles tournaments. Locke eventually took over as chair of the Racuqetball Commitee. During his tenure, racquetball has experienced a 40 to 50 percent increase in participation in the intramural program; a widely expanded women’s program; and received MAC Committee of the Year award. Locke also co-chaired the wildly successful revival of the 2013 Tournament of Champions, bringing the world’s top players to MAC. The numbers speak for themselves. Racquetball has seen incredible growth as the result of the tireless work of Locke and his love for racquetball. On almost any night of the week one can find him at the courts, cracking a few jokes, and encouraging others to do the same.

Inspiration, dedication, leadership, organization, dynamic, accomplished. There are a few of the words Greg Marshall’s peers have used to describe the longtime MAC member. Marshall has been involved with the Golf Committee for 16 years, serving as chair for 10 of those years. He is an integral part of the MAC golf community’s success. This is the fourth time Marshall has been nominated for the Joe Loprinzi Award, and since his last nomination in 2008, he has continued to be a vital part of MAC’s golf community, not to mention several other important activities at the club. He continues to organize both the annual All Court Golf Cup and the winter trip to Bandon Dunes each year – both events are in their 13th year. And he keeps the events fun, offering up awards for the day’s golf during dinner during the Bandon Dunes trip. He served three years on the Athletic Committee and is currently on the Budget and Finance Committee. Marshall organizes countless events at MAC. He recently organized Bud Lewis’s 90th birthday party, and helped Lewis on many of his blood drive signups. The blood drive continues to grow, with the recent Civil War Blood Drive at MAC bringing in 120 unites of blood donated by MAC members. He helped to create the Board of Trustees-sponsored Bowl-A-Rama, and spent several years running the Club Championships golf tournament. He also planned the 19th Hole Banquet for six years. Over the past year, he also helped to organize MAC’s first Golf Expo in conjunction with the 1st Tee Dinner. He was also a driving force behind last year’s golf scramble. And on top of all that, he found the time to win MAC’s senior golf title in 2011. Marshall took up golf at the age of 8, and has competed in local, regional and national tournaments.

It’s no surprise if members are familiar with Aaron Paulson’s story. His remarkable journey has been featured in publications across the Northwest. And over the next two years, the Paralymic champion hopes to add a few new chapters. Paulson suffered from polio during his earliest years in an orphanage in Bombay, India, and the illness left him with severely limited use of his legs. It did nothing to hinder his competitive desire. Paulson captained the swimming and water polo teams in high school, and strung together a remarkable string of success at the Paralympics, winning medals in individual and relay swims in every Paralympics between 1992 and 2008. His absence from London in 2012 wasn’t a retirement, but a planned hiatus to explore a new competitive passion – kayaking. After a chance meeting with MAC Member Coach and world-renowned kayaker Sam Drevo in the weight room, Paulson threw himself into the sport, and is aiming for a spot on the 2016 U.S. Paralympic team in the sprint kayak competition. According to his friends and colleagues, Paulson’s athletic abilities aren’t even his brightest attribute. That would be his attitude. “Aaron has a lot of positive energy. And the nice thing is his compassion. For an athlete to have that is awesome,” says training partner Chip Sells. “He gets it because he has had to deal with challenges all his life.” But you don’t have to look past Paulson’s own words to see his perpetual positivity. Earlier this year, The Oregonian asked how he’d feel if he missed the 2016 Paralympics. “I’d be OK,” he said. “There are other games to play. Part of life is figuring out there are ups and downs and how to get through them. “If I were still in Mumbai, I’d be crawling the streets. I don’t know what this disease would have done if it had gotten into my lungs. I’m fortunate to say I’ve medaled in the Paralympics. But just being here and doing something is success. That is more important than the medals.”

Wes Post

Mary Ross

Willy Scroggins

This year marks Wes Post’s 40th at MAC, and he’s been active in every one of them. He immediately became active in the Early Birds, and after his retirement from the insurance business, gravitated toward Walking and Hiking. Over the past decade, he has been one of the most active and engaged participants in a sport with its fair share of them. He’s led 475 hikes over the past decade, totaling 3,350 miles and 615,000 feet of elevation gain. He also spent nine years on the Walking and Hiking Committee, serving as secretary, treasurer and chair. His in-depth knowledge of Pacific Northwest trails has resulted in a great many hikes that would not have been explored without his expertise. With Post, MAC members have explored trails around Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Central Oregon, and throughout the Columbia Gorge. During hikes, Post often shares the lore of the trailthe people, places, fires, floods. As well as leading hikes and researching the trails, Post has shared his map and compass skills and, occasionally, trail first aid. Hikers recall Post helping a fellow hiker with a broken ankle out of the wilderness. Post is a snowshoeing enthusiast, and has given members many opportunities to engage in this activity. MAC members have been encouraged and inspired to try showshoeing and more than a few have continued to the point of purchasing their own equipment. For Post, there is no single season for volunteering, he takes members to the gorge in the summer, and straps on snowshoes or leads urban hikes in the winter. The breadth of his participation and leadership runs across the board. He was a contributor to the MAC Walks book and was chairman during the two years it was written and published. Fellow hikers refer to Post as unflappable, dependable, watchful and instructional, but the adjective that most describes him is inspirational.

Mary Ross started at MAC as an athletic member, but she has become so much more. Ross joined the club in 2004, recruited as an athletic member for her competitive cycling resume. Since she started, Ross has been very active in MAC’s cycling community, including chairing the Cycling Committee. Her enthusiasm for cycling has helped others become better cyclists, and has fostered an interest in cycling at MAC that simply was not there before. Last summer, Ross started a new program to get more cyclists involved at MAC. She led a series of cycling field trips to different bike-related spots around the city, including the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, the Community Cycling Center and Upper Echelon Fitness. “I looked at the summer class guide, and I thought, ‘Where’s the stuff for big kids?’” Ross said. For Ross, the trips weren’t just about taking a ride. They encouraged people to use their bicycles as a means of transportation, and to take advantage of the many cycling routes available to Portlanders. In the future, she hopes to get more people involved who aren’t comfortable riding their bikes in the city. Ross is a welcoming presence on group rides, in part because she’s been involved in different aspects of cycling. She started using a bike simply to get around when she went to college at Oregon State. She eventually joined the competitive ranks, and she’s still involved in both sides. She competed in USA Cycling Masters National Championships in Bend last year, but also regularly rides Cycle Oregon and commutes. Ross also participates regularly in MAC’s rides, including the weekly Wednesday night rides and Second Saturday rides. The Cycling Committee furnishes pre ride snacks for the participants, and Mary has done an outstanding job providing an excellent selection of goodies!

It could be said that William “Willy” Scroggins is the founder of today’s MAC Ski Team. He was acting as head coach in 1998, as a member coach, and has continued to this day to play an active role as a masters racer and Ski Committee member. His dedication and inspiration to ski racing, the Multnomah Athletic Club and younger racers shows on the hill, as he proudly wears the Winged M. Early in 2011, Scroggins’ involvement with the team was interrupted by a fatal car accident on Highway 26 near Government Camp at Mount Hood. A car spun out of control and veered into Scroggins’ lane. The driver of the other car died, and Scroggins spent 10 days in the hospital with a broken ankle, broken femur, broken ribs and a traumatic brain injury. He spent the remainder of the year rehabbing his way back to health. For most people recovering from such tribulation, to lead a functional life is a great accomplishment. For Scroggins, living a “functional life” is only part of the journey. He wanted to compete again. He spent hours in the Exercise and Conditioning Room rehabbing after his injury, building strength to get back to the mountain. His hard work paid off. In March 2013, Scroggins was spectacular while wearing the Winged M during the USSA Phillips 66 Alpine Masters National Championships at Big Sky Resort in Montana. He took first place in the men’s super G overall, first place in men’s super G class 6, second place in the men’s downhill overall, and first in men’s downhill class 6. “Just to be able to compete is satisfying, but I never expected to be at the top of my game,” Scroggins said. “ “Willy’s ability to regain top competitive form and stand on the podium with gold medal at national championships are a testament to his hard work, great attitude and love of skiing,” said MAC ski coach Kate Morrell. His accomplishments are a celebration of his full recovery from such a life-threatening ordeal, and he’s an inspiration for everyone who knows him.” WM

Activities Evening Readers Discuss Pale Fire Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabakov is a challenging and unorthodox novel, but one that rewards the reader with humor and cleverness. The novel revolves around a 999-line poem by fictional poet John Shade. This poem is published with a forward and commentary notes by Dr. Charles Kinbote, the fictional biographer of the poet and narrator of the novel. One of the most humorous aspects of the novel is the untruthfulness of the narrator. Dr. Kinbote leads the reader far from the poem by crafting an entirely different story in his commentary notes. The reader finds the real story in clues inadvertently dropped by the narrator. Vladimir Nabakov was one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century and this is one of his most acclaimed books. Discuss this work with the Evening Literary Group at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 28. –Kevin McClure

Grease is the Word

ore than 200 members enjoyed singing along with The Sound of Music last January in the Grand Ballroom. They witnessed the Balladeers yodeling and tossing “beer foam” during the Lonely Goatherd, the MelloMacs running uncontrollably across the stage during Do, Re, Mi, and some even joined in creating their own improv performances as nuns and brides. In short, it was crazy fun! The sing-a-long is back and this year, Grease is the word! The Social Activities, MelloMacs and Balladeers committees team up on Friday, Jan. 24, when members and their guests are invited into the Grand Ballroom for a night of Pink Ladies, T-Birds, and good old rock ‘n’ roll. The movie is a sing-a-long version, with subtitles for songs posted on screen.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the movie begins at 7:30 p.m. Theatre and cocktail seating are available to enjoy the movie, singing and surprises. Grease is rated PG-13, so parental discretion is advised due to sexual references, teen smoking and drinking, and language; however, juniors are welcome. The cost to attend is $7 for members and $9 for guests and includes popcorn and a favor bag. A no-host bar is also available. So break out the bobby socks, letterman sweaters, black leather and grease, and get a group together. For more information or to register, go to theMAC.com, or call 503-517-7265.

MACorps Marks MLK Day with Service Event Join MACorps volunteers for the fourth annual Goose Hollow Neighborhood Cleanup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 20. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to volunteer together and start a new tradition for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students have the day off school, and many businesses offer time off for employees to do community service. Need more incentive? Middle and high school students can receive credit towards their schools’ community service requirements. A host of club members wearing bright red MACorps vests during the cleanup also creates visibility for this volunteer group and goodwill for MAC. Volunteers meet in the Turnaround at 8:30 a.m. for assignments. In partnership with SOLV, volunteers are provided with maps, MACorps vests, litterbags, garbage pickup tools and protective gloves. After fanning out in the Goose Hollow Neighborhood to

The event officially kicks off at 7 p.m. with a performance by the MAC Company Dancers. This is followed by a discussion led by Irving on the camaraderie, brotherhood, competition, and rivalries that are the social background to the professional world of the ballet dancer, with ample opportunities for questions and answers. Irving comes to Portland with international credentials and an electric charisma, which is putting a new spin on the Portland ballet scene. This is a great opportunity for junior dancers to learn more about life behind the curtain as a professional dancer. They are also invited to bring along their toe shoes to be signed by an OBT ballet dancer. The cost is $15 for members and $18 for non-member guests, which includes dessert and coffee. Also, a portion of event proceeds go to OBT. For more information or to register, go to theMAC.com, or call 503-517-7265.

ATHLETICS member coaches

Club’s Member Coaches Bring a Wealth of Experience to the Program Do you run, bike, or swim? Then take a moment to meet the coaches that MAC sponsors to focus on the sports of triathlon and running.

big a thrill for me as it is for the athletes when they cross that finish line!”

Bridget Dawson

Linnea Alvord – “The Blonde Baroness” – adds a level of intensity to the sport of triathlon that is hard to match. She has qualified for and raced at the triathlon world championships at sprint, Half-Ironman and Ironman distances, holds USA Triathlon All-American status, and now focuses on Half-Ironman and Ironman coaching and racing. She has qualified for both the Boston and New York marathons. Most recently, Linnea has added trail running and mountain biking to her athletic pursuits. To fund her sports habits, she works for a local software company and runs her own business, True Grit Training. Alvord’s coaching philosophy is based on getting MAC members to participate regularly in all three sports year-round. Continuity is critical from both a muscular endurance and muscle memory perspective, she says, and despite our weather, members can cycle, run and swim year-round, inside or outdoors. The weekend warrior efforts may work for single sports, but when a sport involves three widely different disciplines, it takes a bit more training! On the plus side, she says, anyone who gets into the sport of triathlon says they’ve never felt like they’ve been in such good physical condition. The mix of all three sports challenges the body – and mind – much more so than one alone.

Bridget Dawson is known as “Crouching Tiger” by her teammates and competitors. With 30 years of triathlons under her wetsuit, she is a force to be reckoned with. Some persistent hamstring issues have recently kept her from doing much crouching, but it did not stop her from becoming a champion in the World Olympic Distance Triathlon Championships in 2012. Dawson is a positive presence in year-round multisport activities throughout the club. She has spent six years at MAC as a member coach and athlete. Find her competing in the MAC Mile, leading winter swim workouts, and first into the water during open-water swims. Runners, swimmers, and cyclists all appreciate her commitment and support of club activities. Dawson carries a healthy resume of triathlon successes. (She doesn’t actually carry it around, but fellow triathletes can’t get her to stop talking about New Zealand.) Prior to triathlon racing she was a collegiate All-American runner and road racer. But these are just footnotes to the work she does around MAC. Dawson is an experienced swim coach, personal trainer, triathlon mentor and coach. Interested in triathlons, but swimming is not your strength? Come see Dawson for winter swim workouts. “I absolutely love coaching the beginner athletes the most. It is just as

Tech Tip

What to Wear During a Triathlon • Wondering what to wear in your triathlon? Many people don’t know that triathletes have specific clothing that survives from the swim all the way through the run. The triathlon “kit” consists of a matching MAC jersey and shorts, and for the women, a running bra. The team members easily recognize each other and support each other along the way. During training, members use sport-specific clothing, also available with the MAC logo. • How to order: Sign up through the Yahoo Group and MAC email lists to stay in touch. Ordering is available online from December through early February, and the first gear arrives at members’ homes in April. Special discounts for wetsuits are also distributed via these email lists. • Wondering what your size is? Stay tuned, the Triathlon and Running Committee plans to have the full line of triathlon and cycling clothing available to try on in December. Orders are then made by each member individually, online, and drop-shipped to the member. – Linnea Alvord WM

MAC runners tackle the hills of Washington and Forest Park every September during the annual Pittock Mansion run, one of many events each year.

Many Chances to Train During Upcoming Season M

AC has a full slate of training for runners to start the new year. Training is led by running coach, Deborah James, a former University of Oregon sprinter and triple jumper, and athletic member Carrie Zografros, a former University of Oregon All American distance runner. The coaches focus on improving technique and helping members achieve personal goals.

Sunday group runs Group runs are Sunday at 8:30 a.m. The typical distance is 4 to 6 miles and locations vary. In the summer, an optional long run is added for runners training for the Portland Marathon.

Track workouts Track workouts at Lincoln High School are held in the spring leading up to the MAC Mile. Runners get an opportunity to learn drills and exercises to improve their form to help them run faster.

Other MAC runs The MAC Mile is held in May. There are different divisions based on competitiveness. A Kid’s Dash and 4x400 meter relay is also included. This race can be used for credit in the Decathlon.

The Pittock Mansion Run is held every September. This is an opportunity to explore the trails in Washington Park as runners head up to the mansion. The Peacock Lane Run goes off every December. A long-standing tradition, this is a great way to enjoy the lights of Peacock Lane by foot, and get into the holiday spirit in a healthy way. Finally, keep in mind the following races are on the horizon in 2014: • Shamrock Run is Sunday, March 16. Register with MAC team #1420. • Race for Roses is Sunday, April 13. • Portland Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon is Sunday, May 18. • Bowerman Athletic Club 5K is held in late July. • Summer Trail Running Series (spring and fall) begins in May and September, depending on the season, with races scheduled for every other Wednesday • Portland Marathon is Sunday, Oct. 5.

Meet MAC running coach Deborah James. “The Phoenix” came to MAC just last year as the newest member coach on the Triathlon and Running Committee. She rose from the ashes of a sprint distance career at the University of Oregon to become an accomplished runner of marathons and half marathons. James ran for the University of Oregon, competing in sprints and the long and triple jumps. She graduated with a bachelor’s of science degree in human physiology and general science, minoring in chemistry and biology. After college, James transitioned to distance running – primarily half marathons and marathons. Her favorite marathon so far is New York. She belongs to the local running clubs Team Red Lizard and Bowerman Athletic Club. MAC was lucky to find this talented and persistent woman to spearhead its running activities. Besides MAC’s annual events, including the MAC Mile, Pittock Mansion Run, and the Peacock Lane Run, Deborah began organizing weekly Sunday training runs that led up to the fall Portland Marathon, and spring track workouts that led up to the MAC Mile. To know Deborah is to appreciate her upbeat attitude, her commitment to fitness and her willingness to work. Also, she sometimes brings bagels for after Sunday morning runs. “I am looking forward to building the running program here at MAC and helping fellow runners reach their running goals,” she says. WM

The year ahead Jerseys are back! In cooperation with the Triathlon Committee, the Cycling Committee is doing another order for jerseys, shorts, bib shorts and other pieces of cycling apparel. Look at the bulletin board, flyers, electronic media and other resources for updates and the updated MAC jersey design. The Cycling Committee is putting together a cycling mentoring program, where members can find a resource here at MAC to assist with answering questions, and get newcomers going on their first cycling adventure. The committee recognizes that the options are overwhelming and cycling can be intimidating because there are so many choices. There are bikes made for road riding, racing, touring, trail riding/mountain biking, commuting, cyclocross, tandem riding, recumbent riding, beach cruising, BMX…the list is long! Bikes are also made out of different materials, like steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber and even wood! Disc brakes, long popular on mountain bikes, are now cropping up on road bikes as well. To make matters more complicated, there are also numerous gear configurations to get the most out of each pedal stroke. Options – and expenses – can add up quickly. Cyclists come in all shapes, sizes, abilities and interests. The committee hopes to aid soon-to-be cyclists in their journey to explore this fair city using this wonderfully diverse means of transportation. Portland’s vast network of cycling paths and bike/car lane sharing streets has made it extremely accessible for cyclists. It is now possible to navigate from the Eastside to the Westside and avoid major streets and pedal past traffic jams on the freeways. The Cycling Committee meets the first Monday of the month at 6 p.m. at MAC. Continued on page 56

Other MAC division winners included the mother and son team of Phoebe Trubowitz and Rowan Schnebly, who craftily played to the top of Mixed Division I. Speaking of family teams, mother and daughter MAC members Amy and Vivian Gaddis played in the 2013 U.S Women’s National Team Championships in October, which were held outside of Philadelphia. Vivian and Amy played on a team that won the 3.0 consolation bracket. Vivian, a previous junior MAC squash player and a 2011 Villanova graduate, is currently a mentor at StreetSquash in Harlem, one of the urban squash programs that provides academic enrichment and competitive squash training for urban youth. Junior MAC players Alec Spiro and Schnebly traveled to Massachusetts in November to compete in the Frank Millet Massachusetts Junior Championships, part of the U.S. Squash Junior Championship Tour (JCT). JCT tournaments are the highest level of competition for top-ranked U.S. junior players. In a 32-player BU 11 draw, Spiro won 4 matches, only losing in the division final to the No. 1 ranked player. Schnebly also competed extremely well, beating a player ranked above him in his second round. In national U.S. Squash rankings for boys under 11, Spiro is ranked No. 2 and Schnebly No. 9. –Wendy Comstock

Holiday tournament honors Roger Illingworth

Players Stand Out at the National Level J

uniors and adults, singles players and doubles players all have been actively engaged in squash tournaments and activities at MAC and at tournaments throughout the U.S. and in Canada. MAC hosted the annual Wrightson Cup Oregon Doubles Championships the third weekend in October. Hosting more than 70 players, the tournament was fiercely competitive and enjoyable for competitors and spectators alike. Tournament director Chuck Williams commented, “The open final was perhaps the closest, most exciting and well-played match the MAC court has ever seen (at least in his 25 years at the club). MAC members Tony Catalan, Jr. and Erik Wohlgemuth lost to the highly-ranked Canadian team of Mike Lecke and David Goldsmith by a single point in the final

In a tribute to a MAC squash stalwart, the late Roger Illingworth, MAC has renamed its annual holiday tournament the Roger Illingworth Holiday Squash Tournament. The inaugural run was a terrific success, with competitive but casual play. In doubles, 16 teams battled, with the men’s A final seeing Julian Illingworth paired with junior Rowan Schnebly losing in a hard fought three games against the veteran team of Will Davis and George Hale. The Men’s B was equally competitive, with two teams finishing with 2-1 records; Mark Bogdanoff and Richard Appleyard squeaked out a tie breaker win over Gene Gidley and Don Livingstone. In the C round robin draw, four juniors vied for the win, with Rowan Schnebly and Vaughan Siker outlasting Gordon Lam and Alec Spiro in a tightly contested five-game match. In singles, Sean Ryan won over Will Davis in the finals of the men’s A, Todd Welch defeated Mark Bogdanoff in the men’s B, Gordon Lam won against Jordan Winkler in the men’s C and Jordan Cundari defeated Teddy Siker in the men’s D finals. –Nancy Keates WM

Khalid Mir stepping down after 35 years After 35 years as MAC’s Head Squash Pro, Khalid Mir steps down from that position in June. Mir has been an invaluable resource at MAC since he came from the New York Athletic Club in July 1979. After only a few short years, he had MAC Squash producing national champions, the list of which now includes over 40 championships by members during his time as head pro. In addition, he has passed along his love of the game to many more members, which is also part of his legacy at MAC. Fear not: MAC squash players will still benefit from Mir’s vast experience, as he continues to be involved with the program for a period of time to help with the transition before he officially retires. An open search for Mir’s replacement will begin by the end of 2013. –Nancy Keates WM

Practice Continues Through the Winter Even during the winter months, there are still some golf-related topics to keep in mind. First, please take advantage of MAC’s Member Coaches golf classes on the second Saturday of each month. From 10–11:30 a.m. is set aside for adults, and noon–1:30 p.m. for juniors ages 8 to 17. This is an excellent opportunity for golfers to work on their game. Those with the opportunity to travel somewhere warm and sunny, keep in mind that when golfing in an area where score posting is NOT frozen – as it is in the Northwest – players are expected to post scores as soon as practical. The purpose here is to equitably maintain actual handicaps for all golfers at all times, and posting those scores while in Arizona or Palm Desert, for example, is a must. The Golf Committee is busy planning on tweaks to events for 2014. The kickoff event is in March, with many vendors in attendance with door prizes. –Greg Marshall

While not finishing as high as he would like to have, Garner did take down Martin Mullerins. Mullerins is the current Collegiate Champion and was a finalist at the U.S. Nationals in June. Good job Aaron!

Fall Intramurals Fall Intramurals culminated in a final tournament on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Bob Herrera was the winner in the Open division. Herrera not only won intramurals, he also won the tournament, defeating Troy Peterson. Peterson has recently made a comeback, and we expect to start seeing him in regular tournament action. In the As, it was a repeat of last year. Craig Trull beat Steve Grow by one point to win the intramurals, but like last year Grow defeated Trull in the tournament. In the Bs, Jean Kastner won the intramurals, but it was all Dean Duncan in the tournament. Duncan defeated Bill Flowers in the final. In doubles action, Pete Greer and Rudy Eissinger swept intramurals and the tournament. In both events, the doctors, Bob Gill and Mike Steele, took second place. In December, players headed to Salem for the annual Robert O. Smith tournament. It is a great tournament close to town that allowed players to test their skills before heading into the new year. Also in December, MAC hosted the Irv Alten Classic. About 80 players from around the Northwest came for some great handball and good food and refreshments. –Steven Grow

Natural Medicine to Fight Inflammation On Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m., the Integrative Fitness Department welcomes Dr. Laura Torgerson and Suzanne Chi for a talk on inflammation and how to reverse its effects. The presentation details what inflammation is and when it can be harmful or helpful. Learn about the causes of inflammation and the use of biomarkers to measure inflammation and the efficacy of treatment. The presentation details how naturopathic medicine can be used to approach inflammaTorgerson tion. Learn how to use herbs, neutraceuticals, hydrotherapy and activity to minimize inflammation naturally. The presentation also covers how to approach acupuncture along with the mechanisms of how acupuncture affects the body’s physiology. Learn how acupuncture, herbs and other clinical tools can limit the progress of chronic inflammation. Torgerson is a primary care naturopathic physician at Everyday Wellness Clinic, which she cofounded in 2004. She has a background in Chi emergency medicine and rescue work, which caused her to pursue a degree in preventative medicine. A MAC member for almost two years, she believes that eating well and playing hard are foundations of good health. Torgerson is married and has twin 10 year old boys who keep her hopping.

Climbing Team Continued from page 60 Rogue Rock Gym in Medford in December, and MAC’s climbing team showed up ready to defend its title as regional team champions for the fourth season in a row. “The Climbing team is like a family,” says Head Coach Drew White. Parents, competitors and coaches all did their part against tough odds with below freezing temperatures, snow, ice and road closures on I-5, turning a five-hour drive into an icy nightmare. Two team parents, Joanne Siegel and Tricia Glad, car-pooled to drive their daughters Tori Siegel, Molly and Keri Glad 10 hours to Medford for the opportunity to compete on Saturday. After being postponed until noon because of the weather, the competition finally began. Once the climbing began, the memories of icy weather melted away and didn’t affect the MAC climbing team, which included 22 competitors ready to defend their Team Championship Title. Along with winning the Regional Team Championship, MAC put seven team members atop the podium at regionals, and 18 team members qualified for the Divisional Championships in January at the Seattle Boulder Project Climbing Gym. Notable placements include Brett Walker, who finished first in the male B category, and road-weary travelers Siegel and Glad seemed to shake off the 10-hour drive the night before, with Siegel placing 1st in the female C category, and Glad second in female D category. The Climbing Team is anxious for the MAC climbing wall expansion to be completed, as construction steadily continues throughout the next two months, but for now the team has a short break until divisionals. They continue to train to qualify for the National Championship in late February in Colorado Springs.

Members of MAC’s Midweek Ski Bus enjoy a blue bird day at Mount Hood Meadows. MAC offers two ski bus options during the winter. Leave behind the cloudy valley in favor of the sunny mountain. Last season, skiers coined MAC’s bus coordinator Susie Niedermeyer Neighbors the “Sun Goddess,” as there were six clear days out of the eight Thursdays on which the bus ran.

The bus ride is half the fun. There is coffee service on the way up and surprise vendors sometimes serve libations and snacks on the way home. MAC members can bring non-member friends and family.

ATHLETICS The bus runs on Thursdays starting Jan. 9, and runs at least through February. Sign up on Mount Hood Meadow’s website, skihood. com. Enter MAC GO Code – 1175633. For more information contact Susie Neighbors at susie.neighbors@gmail.com or 503-830-9188. –Susie Neighbors

MAC Receives Visit from Club Coaching Legend

ATHLETICS Swim Coach Continued from page 67 Conlon commented on the excellent demeanor of MAC athletes, who interacted with coaches Gary Leach and Alex Nikitin after their races, actively seeking feedback and putting it to work for themselves. “Swimmers were attentive to coaches’ feedback, and thanked them and shook hands,” Conlon reflected. “[MAC swimmers] immediately refocused on the next race. That’s a class act!” He also commented on the team’s success in the pool. “I liked watching red caps with white winged M’s winning their heats on the back half of their races. Swimmers looked fit, well coached and wanting to win. That’s a good combination of qualities on my list.” Conlon said a good competitive swim program is built from the bottom up, and starts from an excellent instructional program that teaches very good fundamental skills. He believes that swimming must always be taught with a competitive coaching philosophy that is focused on developing efficient strokes and proficiency in swimmers, always thinking of competitive potential of young swimmers right from the start.

Former MAC swim coach Ray Conlon, center, who coached the team over five decades, visits with coaches, from left, Gary Leach and Alex Nikitin. The times may have changed, as well as swim coaches, but the fundamentals of the MAC swimming program remain in place. The program is lucky to have a lineage of outstanding coaches, and Conlon’s place is near the top.

ATHLETICS Men’s 40 and Over National Championships at Indian Wells, Calif. in October. The Men’s 4.0 team, captained by Kit Johnson, placed third in its pod. They began by defeating Team Northern (Minneapolis) 4-1. For the second opponent, Team Northern California (San Francisco), all five matches went to third set tiebreakers, but the MAC 4.0 team lost 1-4. The MAC 4.0 team then lost to Team Florida (Pensacola) 2-3 in its final match. Todd Siegel and Dirk Koopman went undefeated at all stages: Northern Oregon, Pacific Northwest Sectionals and at Nationals. Team members include Ben Jacobson, Brian Rundle, Chris Haddon, David Lorati, David Squire, Dirk Koopman, Greg Johnson, Kit Johnson, Nick Rumsfeld, Todd Eckelman, Todd Siegel and Tom Cooper. The Men’s 3.5 team, captained by Chris Graham and Tom Turnbull, placed second in their pod, with their only loss coming in a third-set tiebreaker to the eventual national champions from Texas. After that narrow loss, the MAC 3.5 team went on to defeat Southwest (5-0) and Midwest (3-2). “It was tough, knowing we were within a few points of beating the team that won the whole thing,” Graham said. “We were confident that had we won that match, chances were very good that we would have made the final. But we’re happy regardless. It was a huge accomplishment just to get to nationals, and collectively, our team had a really fun year together.” Traveling 3.5 team members included Joe Conyard, Mike Delanty, William Hergenhan, Bill Kirkland, Rudy Martinez, Ken McGair, Steve Mileham, Mark Nuss, Jim Ringelberg and Tom Sloan.

If You’re Going to Take a Stance, Make it a Good One!

doug.galloway@herzogmeier.com

A good stance is the foundation of good skiing and without it – well, it just ain’t good skiing. This month we discuss what a good stance should look like, and the best times to work on it to make it habit. Here’s how it looks: feet about shoulder width apart, slight bend in the knees and ankles, slight bend at the waist. The angle of the spine should match the angle of the shins. Focus your weight through the ball of your foot. Notice how picture A, labeled shows my hips only three or four inches ahead of where my hips are in the photo B (labeled wrong). That is the difference between good skiing and bad skiing. Not only is it the difference between good and bad, but it makes skiing safer and easier as well. When do you work on good form? Always! But especially while skiing straight, maybe on a cat track or across a flat or even in the lift line. It is common for skiers to work on their form when the terrain is difficult. This really isn’t the best time to hone your skills. This focus and intensity needs to happen when the terrain is easy and speeds are slower.

After 40 years with some fine CPA firms B

ng!

While skiing somewhat straight and in a good stance, move your hips forward, focusing your weight through the balls of your feet (figure C). Good skiers are never passive and though it doesn’t look like it, they are constantly using the muscles in their core to move their hips forward in order to maintain a good stance over their feet. As you maneuver through the lift line and wander around through the ski area, keep focusing your weight through the balls of your feet by moving the hip forward so the pressure is focused there. –Kate Morrell, Head Ski Coach WM

George Johanson: A Life of Making Art in Oregon

oin the MAC Arts Subcommittee for an evening talk by artist George Johanson on Wednesday, Feb. 19 starting at 5:30 p.m. The event is free but registration is required. Johanson’s exhibit is on display in the Reading Lounge from the first week in January through the month of February. “I feel that so much of what we do in life has another meaning beyond our immediate experience…. art can be a way of getting at that meaning.” Johanson speaks about his artistic discoveries and accomplishments during his professional life in Oregon’s art world. George Johanson: Seven Decades of Paintings, a retrospective exhibition, opened at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2010 and bears witness to a life of sustained artistic effort by this well recognized Northwest artist. Johanson is a distinguished painter, printmaker and teacher who still shows up to work in his studio every single day. In 1992, he was honored with the Oregon Arts Award for his contributions to the arts in Oregon. What is not as well-known about George is that he is also an athlete. For many years he has gone to the Willamette River before

dawn to row before the wind comes up. Those familiar with his imagery may well imagine how his familiarity with the river has given him the ability to conjure both the body language of kayakers and the architecture of Portland’s bridges. His compositions often combine figurative elements and panoramic vistas, implying both narrative and commentary in the process. Johanson’s palette is typically composed of brilliant colors. Born in Seattle in 1928, Johanson studied at the Pacific Northwest College of Art with additional studies in London and New York, returning to Portland to teach at PNCA for 25 years. Since the age of 50 he has devoted himself entirely to his studio practice. He is represented locally by the Augen Gallery and his work is in permanent collections, both national and international. Come and meet and hear this articulate and dedicated artist, a major contributor to the Oregon art scene. A no-host bar and meet and greet start at 5:30 p.m. and Johanson speaks at 6 p.m. For more information, call 503-517-7265 or visit theMAC.com. Quick Register ME596 WM

University of Portland alumni success story Gavin Lindberg, MBA ’02

Vice President & CFO Brand Jordan (NIKE, Inc.) Title: Vice President, CFO Brand Jordan (NIKE, Inc.) Description of organization: Athletic Footwear and Apparel Residence: Portland, OR Describe your role: As the CFO for Brand Jordan (NIKE, Inc.), I am part of a broad leadership team that is responsible for driving sustainable, profitable growth for the brand. Jordan is a portfolio of businesses across products, categories, and markets around the world. Most memorable career moment? In 2011, I was living in Tokyo as the CFO for NIKE Japan. My family and I were there for the tragic events that struck that country — the earthquake, followed by the tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear fallout of the Fukushima plant. It was a life changing event for my family on a personal level, and professionally it was the greatest challenge and learning opportunity I have ever experienced — as I worked across an inspiring team of individuals to create business continuity in the months that followed the event. Favorite causes and why you support them? I am a huge proponent of youth sports/athletics — I help coach my son’s basketball and baseball teams. I think athletics get kids away from the “screens” that dominate our lives. We have to get our kids moving. Did you know that this generation of children is the first in history to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents? Guiding principle? Self-awareness. Know your strengths and weakness. Embrace them, don’t apologize for them. Be humble when you succeed and take accountability when you make a mistake. Have the courage to improve and ask for help when you need it.

Who are your mentors? I am blessed to work for a company where I am surrounded by people I consider mentors. They provide me with inspiration when I seek it, motivation when I need it, and are daily examples of what leadership looks like in action. Advice you would give to today’s University of Portland business students? It’s great to have a career plan and an end goal, but make sure you write it out in pencil so that you can do some erasing and rewrites along the journey. Favorite memory of your time spent on The Bluff: My favorite memory is actually a more recent one. I had the privilege of coming back full circle as a “teacher,” doing a guest lecture spot for one of Dr. Brian Adams’ M.B.A courses. It was very motivating. The students were sponges, thirsty to soak up knowledge. What do you think makes a University of Portland education remarkable? I always felt comfortable there. The University of Portland provides a world class education in an environment that felt nurturing and personal. Course content wasn’t just out of a text book — it was based on real world issues — and we were challenged to come up with solutions to those issues.
