I

hope you had a restful and relaxing holiday season and are ready for an exciting new year.

Depending on your family’s traditions, the holidays may include travel, festive gatherings, winter sports, marathon baking days, Reidun Zander and spending quality SECRETARY time with loved ones.

Regardless, the holidays are often a time of contemplation that offer an opportunity to look back at the past year and forward to the new one.

Last year forced us all to make adjustments to our lives. For most, this meant working from home, less traveling, and becoming adept at ordering groceries and other incidentals online. For all, 2021 meant a much different utilization of the Multnomah Athletic Club. Some continued with in-person classes, while others fully embraced the expanded offerings of virtual classes, and many found new programming they had never explored before. A lot of the changes

We at MAC are so blessed with a terrific facility and a wonderful community of friends. were unpleasant at first, because change can be difficult. But a lot of these changes introduced new and different experiences in which we are now enthusiastically involved. This can be used as a guideline going forward, helping us react and adjust to unforeseen changes, which may affect how we use the club.

The flip side of such reflections is looking toward the future. The new year offers a time of resolution, goal setting, and changing direction. Each change revolves around a

new intention, which may involve an objective target like losing a few pounds, increasing your pushup count, or learning a new language. With the tremendous breadth of offerings at MAC, you can work toward all of those goals (and so much more), including learning a new language!

Resolutions also often involve more subjective goals such as being more thoughtful to those around you, spending more time with your family, appreciating your friends, calling your mother more often, or drinking/ eating less. Obviously, MAC plays an important role here as well, except in the calls to your mother!

One of my personal reflections from the past year is how much I appreciate my MAC family and how I have missed interactions with that community. For those who have recently lost someone dear to them, you now realize you can never tell them too often how appreciated they are, and this is abundantly true of our MAC family.

Amid contemplations about the past and future, don’t forget to enjoy the present! I am resolved to taking a broader range of classes. The natural biproduct of this is growing my MAC family, which includes both members and staff. From tennis pals to calligraphy classmates, social hour buddies to the personal training staff, our community is full of individuals who enrich our lives and bring us joy. We at MAC are so blessed with a terrific facility and a wonderful community of friends.

My fellow Board of Trustees officers and I will shortly end our term, and I’d like to acknowledge Treasurer Steve Brown, Vice President Chase McPherson, and President Rob Torch for all the work they’ve done over the past three years during especially challenging times. Personally, I have appreciated the opportunity to serve the membership this year as secretary.

I hope to see you at the club throughout the coming year.

eady or not here we come!

There’s no doubt that 2022 will provide many challenges and pivots and will test our resiliency as a community. But MAC staff has never been more Charles Leverton ready to face these GENERAL MANAGER tests and surpass our lofty expectations as we continue to provide this community with world-class opportunities to get active, laugh with friends, and spend time with family.

There is an exciting slate of offerings coming this year that should ensure the entire club is buzzing with joy and activity. Here are some key highlights:

Fitness This will be a year of renewal for fitness offerings. The Group Exercise strategy has been redesigned and a new program calendar includes additional classes in the evenings to support career-focused members. We are also looking to test exciting, new proof-ofconcept classes to help MAC compete with the continued rise of specialized brands such as Orange Theory. This year will also be a year of guidance and holistic health. A significant portion of resources are being dedicated to help members learn how to use the club’s fitness ecosystem and join an exploration of building the “lifelong athlete.” The vision is to serve members holistic health experiences that support them as they transition through a lifetime of athletic endeavors. Expect to see more offerings that will help you engage with each facet of health from nutrition and activity to mindset, recovery, and community.

Sport Sports are back at MAC and there’s an exciting resurgence of play — from recreational to competitive. This trend is expected to continue as the world realizes the value of sport and its critical role in building resilient and healthy communities. Winter

program registration saw a near doubling of demand, even against pre-COVID peaks, in many sports, including Aquatics, Tennis, and Climbing. Athletic Director Valerie Cleary and Assistant Athletic Director Chad Failla are working with committees and coaches to understand where and how the club needs to grow programming to meet this unprecedented demand. And finally, this year, the return of world-class tournaments and in-house recreational leagues will be augmented by a strong emphasis on community and helping members find their home within MAC.

Social Community is the heart of MAC. It is what separates the club from every other athletic facility in Oregon. December’s lineup of holiday events was absolutely amazing as members celebrated the season as only the MAC community can. This year will continue with the board-aligned strategy of focusing on events that enable members to enjoy the club, meet one another, and celebrate their important life moments together. Prepare to see more amazing wine dinners, themed nights, cocktail pop-ups, and holiday festivities in addition to many more exciting outings to partner locations and venues. MAC will continue to be the place to be for members of all ages.

Facility and Amenities This year will also bring continued facility improvements. The club’s ability to manage member parking will improve with the completion of the Parking Structure portion of the Access Program. There will also be a new touch put on the Stadium Terrace, improvements to staff office space, and a re-launch of retail spaces. Look for a new digital retail site as well as marketplace popups featuring “only at MAC” products and partnerships.

As you can see, there is plenty to be excited about in 2022. I can’t wait to see you in the club and continue this journey!

FACES OF MAC Whether members call it Artistic Swimming or MAC Synchro, the program continued to dazzle at the 2021 Masters Championship in Henderson, Nevada. The MAC Synchro Masters brought home the bronze in October, after two long years away from national competition. Teammates Karen Kelsall, Kristen Schmedemann, and Lynn Pettitt were eager to make a splash, and the trio followed through by earning a podium finish in the Free and Technical Trio events for ages 50-59.

“We are so proud of their hard work and dedication, especially training without a pool during part of the pandemic,” says Artistic Swimming Assistant Coach Bethany Baber. “With all the challenges they faced the past two years, we knew they could adapt to anything, and their performances are proof of that.”

Simone La Pay

Madelyn Veith

In related news, Aquatics Manager Josh Udermann has revived the club’s Masters Swim Team and hired three coaches to helm it. “This program has been without coaches since the reopening, but it’s back! All of our new additions have a breadth of knowledge in competitive swimming and coaching and will be a great addition to MAC’s member offerings.”

“We have assembled a team of coaches who have earned special distinction in the sport in their own rights, and who are dedicated to helping our members. In the coming year, we look forward to once again offering practices that give members the opportunity to train as part of a thriving group-exercise community. Our team looks forward to pursuing its ninth consecutive title in the Oregon Masters Swimming state championships this spring!”

From 1977-88, La Pay was a member of the US Women’s National Water Polo team, where she was a starter in three FINA Aquatics World Championships. She was a member of five such teams, including the 1979 roster that won gold. Since that time, she has held numerous coaching and instruction positions in water polo, aquatic fitness, aerobics, Zumba, and spin. La Pay achieved numerous USMS top 10 times when she swam for Oregon Masters Swimming in the late ’90s.

There is no additional cost or registration needed to participate on the Masters Swim Team, so those looking for a great way to start 2022 may have just found their new resolution. “This program is a unique blend of athletes of all ages and skill levels who enjoy training in a rich community that supports everyone in achieving their goals, from getting back into shape to achieving national No. 1 rankings!,” says team member Scot Sullivan.

More about the Masters Swim Team is at themac.com/group/pages/aquatics.

Leading them are Brad Bachulis, Simone La Pay, and Madelyn “Maddy” Veith.

Bachulis is returning to his pre-pandemic position coaching the Monday and Wednesday evening group. He was an All-American swimmer at the University of Arizona and three-time Olympic Trials qualifier who also earned numerous top 10s during his brief stint as a Masters swimmer before moving into coaching. He coached MAC to its current streak of eight consecutive Medium Team Division state titles starting in 2012.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Veith won multiple high school state swimming championships there. She graduated in 2018 from Princeton, where she was a four-year varsity swimmer, as well as team captain as a junior and senior. She is on Princeton’s all-time Top 10 list in the sprint freestyle events. After moving to Portland, Veith served as head coach for the Tigard Tualatin Swim Club.

Continued from page 9 wade into the confusion. FINA, the international governing body for aquatics sports, changed the name from “synchronized swimming” to “artistic swimming” in 2019 in hopes of introducing the new moniker at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, she explains. Shortly thereafter, the United States’ governing body became the USAAS, and MAC quickly followed suit, with name changes occurring at the committee level and elsewhere. The team still goes by MAC Synchro, but that’s about it.

“This was my second time at Nationals and my second ever artistic swimming competition. I’m amazed at the longevity in this sport –—there are ages 20-90, all competing!,” adds Schmedemann. “I found synchro only as an adult, so attending a national competition is intimidating. Everyone is supportive, friendly, and encouraged us to swim our best. There are some fantastic swimmers, and to be able to place third in our age group is very exciting!”

Schmedemann also echoes Baber’s pride in her teammates, and returns the sentiment by pointing out the admirable leadership and mentoring of Baber, Artistic Swimming Pre-Competitive Coach Andrea Valoppi, and Head Coach Lucie Svrcinova.

“We really have some great coaches in Lucie, Bethany, and Andrea to make that happen!”

“The majority of USAAS members disliked the change. However, it was inevitable to align with the rest of the world. I personally got used to it and don’t have an issue with the new name,” Svrcinova says.

“The new name should really prove that the sport evolved from being ‘water ballet,’ when everyone was moving kind of slowly and in synch. In recent years, the sport became more acrobatic and artistic. There’s less synchronization and more creative choreography and speed: fast moves, pattern changes, and acrobatic lifts.”

For those wondering at the back-and-forth between the terms “MAC Synchro” and “Artistic Swimming,” Svrcinova is happy to

Time for a Change The Winged M magazine has sported an array of masthead designs over the years, featuring various typographic styles and sizes and taking up varying degrees of real estate. As is fitting of a fresh start in a new year, MAC’s creative services team (the folks who write, edit, and design the magazine each month) is excited to unveil the latest iteration.

Why change? First off, the previous masthead presented design limitations when it came to choosing photographs and illustrations.

There was very little, if any, flexibility. The goal was to create something more modular. Also, “The Winged M” literally is a text description of the logo. We decided it was time to make the logo the focus, not the text — show, not tell.

What you see on this month’s cover is a modern, clean, visually compelling design that elevates the cover while playing off earlier iterations — respecting the past while embracing the future!

Make Your Voice Heard!

by Carrie Stevens The MAC Sounding Board. Sound familiar?

Have you submitted one? Club management hopes your response is a resounding “Yes.”

General Manager Charles Leverton recently discussed the importance of this instrument, which is used to monitor the health of the club.

“I don’t own this club … you do, the members.

I want to know what you are thinking.”

Leverton explained that everyone’s opinion is equal when it comes to the club’s governance system. He sees his job as negotiating MAC’s 130-year experiment in athleticism. At times it works, at times it fails, much like the democratic system in America. He sees management’s job as hearing from as many members as possible in order to keep the conversation fair, objective, and aligned toward the ultimate goal of keeping the club vibrant and strong for the next 130 years.

To that end, Sounding Boards have evolved and continue to evolve. During the height of COVID, when members were not in the club, the digital Sounding Board (on the website) became the main way that members could address concerns, give positive remarks, or ask questions. That avenue of communication still stands, but the collection and response process has been improved.

Communications Manager Adam Linnman reviews submissions within 24 hours and sends them to the appropriate department or relevant party. He prepares a weekly report for the Board of Trustees, as well as the Executive Leadership Team and other senior leaders.

Each month, submissions are aggregated, the data is tracked, and the email response to each member is shared. The board is very active in the process; they study trends and areas that need to be addressed by staff.

These days, a majority of submissions (typically between 25 and 50 per week) are focused on member experience — positive or negative.

If you have a positive experience, it is important to make that known and send praise.

This lets management know that an area is

working well and allows them to move on to another area that might need more attention or resources. Likewise, if you have issues with classes, restaurants, staff interaction, or facilities, club management and the board want to know.

As a collective, members are rather like a timeshare. Everyone’s participation is needed or the structure begins to fail. Let MAC leadership know what your needs are and what the club can do to help everyone use the facilities.

The next step — moving to digital-only sounding boards — will be done in a deliberative manner with a transition-management team engaged in the process. Leverton used the club’s new security gates as an example.

Regardless of your feelings as to their value, his team learned that implementing without transition management is not a good road map for success.

Before activating all the gates, staff waited until at least 80 percent of members were using them without impediment, and employees made sure that there were no more than 50 applications for credentials processing in the pipeline. The same will be true for the sunsetting of paper-and-pen Sounding Boards. Not until hard copy numbers dwindle and a majority of members embrace the digital product will permanent changes be made.

Even after the shift has happened, those uncomfortable with the digital version will always be welcome to call At Your Service with their comments.

MAC is like a fleet of ships. No one ship can turn on a dime without risking a collision with another. The club has to turn as a coordinated fleet. The important thing to take away is that management and the board do want to know what you think. Each member has a voice and a vote. Make yourselves heard!

Carrie Stevens was formerly chair of the Member Events Committee and a member of the Communications Committee, as well as a student of Tom Hallman’s Tell Your Story class. She loves writing, exploring ideas, and the art of conversation, and says she has never met a stranger!

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

Rules Reminders Abuse of Members, Nonmember, or Staff: Including but not limited to verbal or nonverbal offense, inappropriate gestures, or threatening language.

Behavior Unbecoming a Member: Any behavior deemed inappropriate for a member of Multnomah Athletic Club, regardless of reference to specific club rule.

Disorderly Conduct: Including but not limited to disruptive behavior or intoxication-related behavior in the clubhouse, on other club properties, or while participating in club-related activities.

Disregard for Guest and/or Event Attendee Policies: Knowingly violating guest or event attendee policies, including but not limited to: failing to register athletic or social guests; failing to pay guest fees; disregarding frequency restrictions for athletic guests or violating any aspect of guest policies.

Infractions A 52-year-old member with 6 years of tenure was suspended for 23 months for Abuse of Members, Nonmembers, or Staff; Behavior Unbecoming a Member; Disorderly Conduct; and Disregard for Guest and/or Event Attendee Policies.

While intoxicated, the member became disruptive in the Sports Pub. Member was separated from their guest who wound up in the opposite-gender locker room and caused further disruption.

All members are expected to understand and follow club rules which are updated periodically. See themac.com for any updates.

IN MEMORIAM Sallie Jane (Taylor) Boyce March 27, 1947-Oct. 6, 2021

Sallie Jane (Taylor) Boyce departed her loving family unexpectedly, while recovering from a stroke, Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, at the age of 74. She was the beloved matriarch of the Taylor and Boyce families and will be deeply missed by all.

Sallie was born in Portland, Oregon, to Ara “Mae” (Smith) Taylor and Horace I. Taylor on March 27, 1947. She was the youngest of four children, the first three being boys. When she entered the world, the famous story passed down was that her mother, hoping for a girl, but so conditioned to having boys, exclaimed, “Is HE a girl?!” And so began an idyllic childhood of being adored by her parents and three brothers.

Everyone who had the privilege of knowing Sallie loved her beautiful smile, kind heart, and her vivacious and fun personality which was apparent from her earliest years.

At three years old Sallie was “discovered” and became the “Baby Soprano” on Portland radio’s long-running children’s talent show, Stars of Tomorrow. She became a regular and continued on through its jump to television, performing until she was 13 years old.

Sallie graduated from Franklin High School in 1965. She participated in many activities, some highlights being four years on the JV and Varsity Rally Squads, a member of the A Choir and member of the Hi Ki Ki social service club. She went on to attend and graduate from Oregon State University, where she earned a degree in Home Economics Education in 1969. She was a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, which geographically helped initiate the meeting of the love of her life, Mitchell Boyce, who was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, right across the street. They were married June 13, 1968, and went on to have two children, Sarah and Christopher.

As a young woman, Sallie devoted her life to her family as a stay-at-home mom due to the unpredictable schedule of Mitch’s career in marine transportation. She volunteered with many organizations, including the Mt. Tabor Friends of the Symphony, her

Alpha Chi Omega alumnae chapter, so dear to her heart, and she was the Bluebird and Campfire leader for a very lucky group of girls, many of whom considered her a second mom.

When her children entered high school, Sallie became a teacher through the Boy Scouts of America program, In School Scouting, later renamed Learn for Life, which taught life skills to children in Portland Public School’s vulnerable neighborhoods. She ultimately became a director, finally retiring to help care for her aging mother until her passing.

Sallie exemplified living life to the fullest.

She was an avid golfer, a gifted gardener, an entertainer extraordinaire, and an adventurous traveler, both domestically and internationally. But the center of her world was her precious family and dear friends, who she attracted easily. She was a bright light that made the world a little more beautiful and fun, and made everyone around her feel welcome, supported, and loved.

Sallie Jane Boyce, devoted and beloved wife, mother, and grandmother “Yaya” was preceded in death by her parents, Horace and Mae Taylor, her brothers, David and James Taylor.

She leaves behind her husband, Mitchell “Mitch” Boyce; daughter, Sarah Yarusso (Nathan); son, Christopher “Chris” Boyce; brother, Thomas “Tom” Taylor (Mary); granddaughter, Marit Lombardi ( Julian); grandson, Nicholas “Nick” Yarusso; many nieces and nephews; and her golden retriever, Lucky.

The Boyce family would like to give special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and care givers that provided attentive care at St. Charles Hospital, Bend, Oregon, and the Portland Providence Acute Stroke Rehabilitation (4K) unit, Portland.

A celebration of Sallie’s life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the Women of Columbia Edgewater Cancer Fun(d) raiser Tournament benefiting the Portland Providence Cancer Research Center or to the Portland Providence Rehabilitation Center benefiting the Acute Stroke Rehabilitation unit (4K): http://give.providencefoundations. org/cancerresearch and http://give.providencefoundations.org/ rehabservices

Steve Kantor May 22, 1949 -Nov. 14, 2021

Lifelong Oregonian Steve Kantor passed away on Nov. 14, 2021, after complications associated with prostate cancer. Steve leaves behind his wife of almost 50 years, Elaine; his daughters, Ali (Ian) Kestel and Lindsay ( Joel) Krivosha; grandchildren Eddie and Abby Krivosha and Abel Kestel; sisters, Anita (Alan) Ruderman and Laura (Irv) Karl; stepbrother, Mike (Carol) Pearlmutter; aunt, Jackie Constantine; cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends that he considered family.

Stephen Edward Kantor was born in Portland on May 22, 1949, to Albert and Rita Kantor. He grew up in the Eastmoreland neighborhood, along with older sisters Anita and Laura. When he was 12, the family moved to the westside, and Steve was later voted the Friendliest Man in the 1967 graduating class of Sunset High School. Steve went on to join the Kappa Sigma fraternity at the University of Oregon, where he was no stranger to a good party. While attending U of O, he met fellow student, Portland native, and love of his life, Elaine Londer.

Upon graduation, Steve and Elaine married at Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, and Steve immediately began attending law school at Lewis and Clark. After earning his law degree, Steve later earned his CPA designation while working in public accounting, and then went on to pass the Oregon State Bar Exam in 1977. He joined the firm of Samuels Samuels and Yoelin. A few name changes later, it became what it is today, Samuels Yoelin Kantor.

Steve and Elaine welcomed their first daughter, Allison, in 1978 and their second, Lindsay, in 1982. They raised their girls in Southwest Portland, where their home was filled with Steve’s loud and beautiful singing voice, his delicious cooking, and loads of laughter. Much to Steve’s excitement, both of their daughters followed in he and Elaine’s footsteps, also attending the U of O. Go Ducks!

JANUARY 2022

Continued from page 27 In addition to being a dedicated counselor and advisor to his clients, Steve took great joy in mentoring the younger attorneys that joined SYK over the years. Steve served on the boards of the Estate Planning and Administration section of the Oregon State Bar, the OSB Joint CPA Committee, and was a member of several OSB standing committees. Steve was the recipient of an OSB President’s Award and an OSCPA Speaker of the Year Award. He was a member of the Financial Planning Association, was designated by his peers as one of the “Best Lawyers in America” and as a “Lawyer of the Year” in taxation. He was a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Council.

Steve was incredibly dedicated to the people of his local community. He was a founding member and past president of the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation — one of his proudest accomplishments. He was past president of Jewish Family & Child Service and served as president of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and SW Washington, earning its Hall of Fame Award.

He served on the Board of Trustees for B’nai B’rith Men’s Camp Association, the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Mittleman Jewish Community Center, the Nature Conservancy, and Play it Forward. He also served on committees for Congregation Beth Israel, Robison Jewish Home, University of Oregon Foundation, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute.

Steve lived life with fierce enthusiasm, somehow never slowing down, but also stopping to smell the roses. He found particular joy on the golf course with his friends, traveling the world with Elaine and his siblings, and cooking a meal for anyone who crossed his path. But nothing quite made him smile as much as spending time with his family in Manzanita and the sound of his grandchildren’s laughter. Everyone who met Steve knows that he could always make you laugh.

Steve leaves a legacy that will never be forgotten. He was beloved by his colleagues, many dear friends, and his adoring family. His funeral was held on Nov. 17 at Congregation Beth Israel. Donations in Steve’s memory can be made to B’nai B’rith Camp (bbcamp.org) or the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation (ojcf.org).

FITNESS & Wellness 101 Take a crash course in what keeps members coming back to MAC

By Jake Ten Pas

T

For members who are just getting started, the overview of offering on the following pages is a great point of departure. Those who look to fellow members to point them in the right direction and help ground their elevated heartrates in shared human experience can find what they seek in the wise words of their peers. Either way, the possibilities are endless, and the forecast for the future is worth reading.

GETTY IMAGES

he new year is always a popular time for recommitting to fitness goals, or finding the latest ways to stay well and live life to its fullest by finding an unexpected approach.

Recognizing the intersections between the recently joined member’s journey to uncover all that’s available, and the never-ending quest for lifelong health that continues for longtime club devotees, it’s an auspicious time to check in with MAC Fitness & Wellness.

JANUARY 2022

Members Put the Power of MAC in Their Own Words What better way to know the hearts of members than to go to the source? To find out how fitness devotees have been maximizing their club, The Winged M dispatched a variety of questions to power users. They were asked what’s been exciting about the club in recent years, which instructors have inspired them, what updates have enhanced their experience, and what keeps them coming back.

The answers paint a picture of diverse interests and a constant adjustment to the changing realities of life. Read on to discover what motivates members to keep pursuing self-improvement, and maybe a story or two will provoke new personal to-do lists for 2022.

MAC PRO GROUP EXSERIES & MAC AND PRO GROUP EXERCISE Lori Webb I signed up for the Mac Fit Pro class, a blend of group ex and personal training. It was a great experience, with eager, smart trainers helping me through strength-based workouts, some of which were new to me.

Because of the class, I was presented with a challenge on the pull-down ski machine.

The trainers made it so exciting to compete against my previous scores, and it’s been motivating to try some new things.

The class that Garrett [Schnell] and Jack [Brennan] put together in the garage during COVID was a major bright spot. They had us try new, creative workouts, and it became a tight-knit community where a number of us made bigger gains than we ever had before.

A couple of days ago, my friend Lori Covington shared a page from an old Winged M article, which included a photo of her and me as part of the Sand Court Volleyball team in 1980. For more than 50 years, I’ve made friends, who are still part of my life, through group activities.

I also enjoy the Decathalon and challenging myself to improve my scores. Most of all, I’ve really liked trying new things, such as shooting free-throws! I also really appreciate having physical therapy right there in the building, with Jay [ Jensen] helping me with my balance.

I hope to never forget how great it felt to walk down the basement hall when the building reopened, running into four or five old

Caryn Dombrow I love small group exercise classes. I don’t ever work out on my own. Working closely with a trainer challenges me, since I don’t naturally challenge myself. My family and I joined last December. When we became members, the club was still closed except for the Outside Fitness Zone. So, even though I do not like to exercise outdoors, and it was freezing, I began going to the Athletic Conditioning classes offered in the parking garage. This is where I first met trainers Jack Brennan and Garrett Schnell. As soon as the club started opening up, I added HIIT, BarreFit and yoga classes, and then MAC Fit and MAC Fit Pro classes.

There is a positive energy in the Mac Fit Pro offerings, from both the trainers and

friends happily greeting me by name. Ever since my first days at MAC, I’ve always been grateful for the community I’ve found there.

fellow members. While it might seem intimidating at first, every single person I have met in the classes have been inclusive and supportive.

In addition to Jack and Garrett, I want to recognize Alyssa Dalton for Mac Fit and Mac Fit Pro, Lisa Buchmiller and Andrea Sexton for BarreFit, and Ace Cauthen for HIIT. During the first MAC Fit Pro soft start class, Jack demonstrated the six exercises in the circuit, and by the time he was finished, I could not remember any of them. So, I suggested that they use whiteboards to write out the workout. By the next week, there was a whiteboard at each station. I’m still waiting on a 35-pound kettlebell in the Mac Fit Pro room, in case anyone with the power to make that happen is reading!”

FITNESS & WELLNESS OFFERINGS P IL ATES Exercises are performed on a mat or Pilates equipment to promote strength, stability, and flexibility through muscular effort that stems from the core. The technique cultivates awareness of the body to support everyday movements that are efficient and graceful.

Pilates is a means to greater all-around fitness, but it also can help improve performance in specific sports. Both Mat and Reformer classes are offered at MAC.

pilates@themac.com

F A Q

What are the differences between Mat Pilates and Reformer classes?

As the name suggests, Mat Pilates is done on a mat. Movements such as planks, side planks, and core exercises are held to build muscles and core strength. These classes take place in MAC’s Group Ex studios; no reservations required. Reformer classes use a specific piece of equipment called the Reformer. The degree of resistance set on the Reformer makes exercises easier or more challenging. These classes are held in the Pilates Studio and require registration via the Pilates web page.

GENERAL FITNESS Terry Shanley MAC’s new Fitness Room would make Joe Loprinzi proud. There is something for virtually everyone. While the free weights appeal to a younger demographic, it still has a wide variety for those of us who aren’t throwing the big weights around as much. I must say, I love the new entrance. It feels like that’s the way it’s always been; it’s very well done!

The pandemic slowed down access to the new additions/developments, but it also provided the time to complete the improvements without as much disruption to members. I really enjoyed the outdoor training that was set up in the parking garage. I was, frankly, surprised at how much I genuinely enjoyed training outdoors, in spite of the cold winter weather. Everyone out there seemed to be having fun.

My wife, Della, and I have been members for more than 21 years. She’s an avid tennis player and loves all things related, particularly the competition and camaraderie the tennis group provides. I couldn’t include the name of any staff without naming them all, and this article isn’t supposed to be that long!

The entire staff is wonderful, and I mean that sincerely.

What keeps me coming back is the members, the staff, and the facilities. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people. Bud Lewis was an iconic figure in the club, and I miss him every day, but Darin Vick is picking up where Bud left off and has become a dear friend, to both me and countless MAC members. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. They are, as Bud would say, “a jewel in the crown!”

Preston White It’s very clear that MAC has listened to members and the amazing training staff and filled the gym with top-of-the-line equipment. I have been really impressed with how thoughtful and well-laid-out the new Fitness Room is. I really like the new Strength Room too, with all the new squat racks and various bars and equipment. I feel that my workouts have improved a lot because all the new equipment makes me want to train at MAC more than before. I also appreciate the club investing in recovery with Normatec and HyperIce.

My favorite aspect of the club is that there is so much to do all at once. My workouts can include running around the track, shooting hoops, and then getting a lift in. I have boxing gloves in my locker and will often go do a few rounds upstairs with the punching bag. I even went to the adult open gymnastics night once and had an amazing time jumping in the ball pit.

Lately I have been really enjoying the Climbing Gym’s rock walls. The treadmill rock climbing machine is so much fun. I am actively looking for a belay buddy if anybody is interested!

44 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2022

Of course, no workout is complete without a solid recovery session in the whirlpool, sauna, and steam room.

I have been training a lot with Jack Brennan, and he has really helped me achieve my fitness goals and is an awesome coach.

Jack has helped me lose more than 30 pounds in a year. I started doing the InBody analysis with him and it really helped improve my training and I made significant progress on my fitness goals.

Also, Patrick Fisher is very nice and helpful; Robbie Shabasson is super friendly; Garret Schnell is a great friend and coach for sprints, football, lifting, and track; and Josh Sargeant has helped me with strength training.

I make it a priority to spend as much time as possible at MAC because I know I will always have a great time. The community, running into friends, and the amazing staff keeps me coming back. The more time I spend at MAC, the more I get out of it.

PERSONAL TRAINING Courtney Fitzloff My small-group personal training experience at MAC has been an integral part of my exercise routine. Currently, my group trains with Alyssa Dalton three mornings a week.

She kicks our butts in the best way, and I truly look forward to my time with her. Alyssa always has a clear plan, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about form and functional mobility, which is what my group wants to focus on as we get older. Alyssa knows when to push us and when we need a cheerleader.

The facility improvements in the past two years are a game changer. Number one for me is how much more space there is for working with a trainer. We don’t feel like we are on top of each other or invading someone else’s space. Another improvement I am a fan of is the turf. It’s a great surface for training, in particular agility work and the dreaded weighted walking lunge. In addition, our group likes that there is a designated area where multiple people can be using the TRX at the same time. It used to be that we had to take turns on the TRX, but now we can all do the same exercise at the same time.

To be able to easily mix things up like that has been awesome. Finally, the music in the fitness room is so fun. Since we don’t play our own music when we group train with Alyssa,

the music in the room has been a welcome addition.

The fact that I can work out in an amazing facility with such knowledgeable and supportive trainers and staff is truly a lifesaver. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s Disease, and it rocked my world. One thing both my amazing doctor at OHSU and my naturopath emphasized repeatedly was how important exercise is in fighting Parkinson’s. I immediately realized how crucial my membership at MAC was going to be. Once I had processed what I was facing, my friend, Kate, asked me to join a small group to train at MAC. Before I could start, I had to fill out some paperwork, and it was one of my earliest memories of sharing my diagnosis with someone other than family and close friends.

I took the paperwork to Andy Shupp, and I will never forget how kind and encouraging he was to me. I knew this was the first step on my new exercise journey, and on that day, MAC became a part of my team to fight my

Parkinson’s Disease. Our first group trainer, Jake Hickok, helped me in those early days to see that I am more than my diagnosis.

And Alyssa has taught me that I am stronger than I know. When I think about why I keep coming back, sure, the beautiful, state-ofthe-art facilities and the fun music matter a lot. But it’s really the people at MAC and my devoted training group who make me feel like I am not alone with my diagnosis. Next to my family, they are some of my biggest cheerleaders, and I am eternally grateful for that.

For the third year in a row, MAC has opted not to raise rates for fitness personal training but will consider a new rate this spring with committee approval.

VIRTUAL Nancy Lagozzino

Amy Fields

Since March 13, 2020, my involvement with MAC has been only virtual. I will always be grateful that members were given the opportunity to participate from the safety of their homes. Prior to COVID, I would go to MAC about four days a week. I miss the chats before and after classes, the laughter, and having coffee with friends, etc. Someday, I plan to return to the “good old days.”

Early in the pandemic, walking in spacious, outdoor locations seemed to be adequate physically and mentally. Spring in Portland was glorious, but I was missing the ideas and details that MAC fitness instructors offer during classes. There were some virtual classes available on the MAC website, and through time the variety increased, and the instruction and technology improved. Eventually, I was thrilled to discover that Anita Stark, whose NIA classes I had often attended before the pandemic, was teaching live, virtual classes. Online, Anita challenges her students just as she did in person at MAC. Students with wide ranges of abilities, from beginners to skilled dancers, realize benefits to their bodies, brains, and outlook on the day. Her virtual classes provide clear video and audio opportunities to connect with her and each other. Ways to adapt to improvised, at-home, workout spaces are addressed, too.

Anita Stark, who conducts virtual NIA classes, has gone way above and beyond her duties by providing an opportunity for those participating in her class to visit at the end of each session. Her giving, positive nature is valued by many. I would also like to give a shout out to Lisa Buchmiller and Val Stegall. The BarreFit classes have been wonderful. Again, their upbeat attitudes have gone far toward lifting spirits in addition to helping us remain strong.

Do You Know What’s Really in Your Fast Food?

D

o you know what’s really in your fast food? Plastic. There is plastic in your food.

Researchers at George Washington University purchased 64 items from fast food chain restaurants, tested them for 11 harmful chemicals, and detected 10 of them in the samples! More specifically: 86 percent of the foods contained a plasticizer called DEHT 81 percent contained a phthalate called DnBP 70 percent contained a phthalate called DEHP DEHT was found in higher amounts in burritos than in burgers.

No DEHT was detected in fries, and cheese pizza had the lowest amount of all chemicals.

DEHT is a newer chemical that is being used to replace phthalates, so there aren’t many studies on its health effects yet. But studies on phthalates have found they can disrupt the endocrine system and hormones, thus they have been dubbed endocrine disruptors.

Where are all these plasticizers coming from? They might be leaching into the food from industrial tubing, conveyor belts, outer packaging, food-handling gloves, and plastic wrappers.

50 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2022

Chain restaurant fast food might be convenient and tempting, but here’s just one more reason not to make it a habit. By preparing your food at home, you’ll probably both eat more nutritious foods and reduce your exposure to plasticizers that could have harmful effects on your health.

Often choosing a healthy diet and lifestyle can feel overwhelming and confusing with all the information available. It’s nearly impossible for most of us to completely avoid the use of plastics. My goal is to educate and encourage you to make conscious choices around eating fewer processed foods, storing food at home in glass, and not heating up foods in plastic.

If you’d like to learn more about endocrine disruptors and how to detox toxins from the body, join my webinar, 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan.19. Find the Zoom link via themac.com using event code WESU009. Or feel free to email me at drlindseysnelson.com.

My office is under the video wall in the Fitness Room. Please come by and say hi whenever you can. We all look forward to helping you reach your 2022 goals, or at least feel a little less guilty about all of those holiday parties where all of us over-indulged.

The numbers presented here reflect some of the club’s most popular programs. Group Exercise, Personal Training, Wellness, and various sub-departments thrive on relationships built with members. There’s no question that MAC’s instructors and staff are world-class in their various disciplines, but I hear most often that members stick with MAC Fitness & Wellness because of personal connections and the team’s unique ability to teach anyone who wants to sweat and have fun — all ages and all ability levels. This is what makes MAC stand out from other gyms and studios.

WELLNESS

Instructor Spotlight From personal trainers and Group Ex instructors to massage and physical therapists, MAC’s Fitness and Wellness staff works to help keep members healthy.

Julia Nachman’s yoga classes at MAC revolve around a central theme, with a strong focus on alignment. She encourages students to take the time to set-up poses and feel how subtle changes can have dramatic impact.

Her deep emphasis on working within one’s individual boundaries and truth, rather than listening to ego or pride, helps cultivate focus and attention to detail. This encourages students to stay present and safe, while incorporating mindfulness into their practice.

How long have you been teaching at MAC? What classes do you teach?

I have been teaching at MAC for just over two and a half years. I primarily teach yoga flow and strength. I also teach strength and conditioning for the girls Synchro teams. You can also find me subbing for various group exercise classes, including MAC Strong and Bootcamp, or MAC Fit Pro.

What’s your background/training?

I’ve always been physically active. As a kid, I was a competitive gymnast and cheerleader.

I started practicing yoga in 2005, and have been a Yoga Alliance-certified instructor since 2009. I am currently in the process of studying for my ACE personal training certification.

What’s your teaching approach/philosophy?

Since my teaching is so heavily informed by my yoga background, I think about physical fitness as a tool we have to keep ourselves healthy, not only in body, but also in mind.

I approach exercise and training as a way to understand ourselves more deeply — how we motivate ourselves, how we react to challenge, and how we overcome adversity. As we become more self aware through our training, we can take that knowledge with us and apply it in all other areas of our lives.

What are some things you like to do outside of work?

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and our two dogs. I love to be outdoors, whether hiking, skiing, or having a glass of wine on a patio. I love to cook, and am always trying new recipes. I am a big reader and enjoy listening to podcasts and audiobooks.

Still a

Basketball Believer Head Coach Earl Martin poised to drive MAC hoops forward

By Jake Ten Pas

F

or Oregon State Basketball fans of the late 1980s and early ’90s, Earl Martin needs no introduction. Playing alongside the likes of Gary Payton, Will Brantley, and Scott Haskins under the leadership of PAC-10 Coach of the Year Jim Anderson, the starting forward was a key part of the Beavers’ 1989-90 NCAA Tournament team.

He was the team’s second-leading scorer as a senior, finishing with averages of 11.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. His daughter, Alyssa, maintained the Martin name in the hearts and minds of Beaver Believers during her time playing for the OSU Women’s Basketball Team from 2010 to 2014.

Since graduating with a degree in graphic art and design, Martin has continued to pursue his hoops passion through coaching. Over the years, he has served as the junior varsity boys basketball coach for Lincoln and South Ridge High Schools, co-founder of youth sports nonprofit Run It Back, and most recently as the head JV and assistant varsity coach for Central Catholic. He also played professionally in Germany and Mexico, as well as featuring in an episode of ABC’s short-lived legal drama Equal Justice. An expert in youth development on and off the court, Martin talked to The Winged M about his experiences as an athlete, coach, father, and, briefly, actor.

AT H L E T I C S

Winged M: At this point, it seems like you’ve participated at nearly every level of the game. Having raised a daughter who went on to be a standout in her own right, what’s your secret to encouraging success in young athletes?

Earl Martin: As my kids grew up, they played pretty much every sport, and I just let them have fun. If they want to, they’ll stay involved in sports and eventually gravitate to what they like. We got lucky with Alyssa. She was a natural athlete, and so it was all kind of easy for her to begin with, even beyond basketball. She played soccer, softball, volleyball, all that stuff. By eighth grade, I knew if she stuck with it, she was going to play college basketball. Even before that, I would say late in elementary school, she was playing with the boys, and she was better than them. It was a lot of fun, but I told all my kids, “If you want to play basketball, I’ll sit in the stands, be a dad and a fan, and watch. When you decide you’re going to get serious, and then if you want me to join in, I’ll do that. But if you just want to have fun and play, I’m just going to let you do that.” We had that line drawn.

At MAC, you’ll likely see both kids with the kind of raw talent your daughter had and some who have more passion than skills or natural gifts. How do you adapt your coaching to reach both?

EM: You mentioned passion and, for me, that’s easy because of how passionate I am about not just basketball, the sport, but coaching and mentoring young athletes. If they have the passion, I can coach them all day because they want to learn and get better. Sometimes, those kids who have the natural talent for the sport can be a little tougher to coach because they know they’re pretty good or better than most kids.

Whereas those kids with passion, they just want to be there, and it’s fun for them no matter what. They want to learn, and they’ll ask questions.

How did your love of coaching and mentoring develop over the course of your life? Was there a specific person that set a great example for you?

EM: This is the part I love talking about. I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, but for one year we moved to Carson, which is just south of L.A. That year, I met some guys who I eventually wound up going to high school with. When we moved back to South Central, I met another guy who became my best friend in junior high, and his dad coached me. That was in eighth and ninth grade, when I first started getting serious about basketball. These friends of mine had already been playing for a while, and they and their families kind of took me in. I played for both of the dads growing up. When I got to a certain stage, as far as having my own kids and coaching, it kind of hit me that I didn’t want my own kids, or anyone, to go through what I went through or to have those obstacles and not have the direction I had to find. Eventually, I developed enough as a player and human being that I received an athletic scholarship, and without that, I wasn’t sure how I was going to get into college. I had no idea, no plan, no direction.

You didn’t get a premonition the first time you picked up a basketball that your entire future would be wrapped up in your ability to handle it?

EM: No, not at all. Actually, like a lot of basketball players, I wanted to be a football player. Growing up, my older cousin was a football player and was fortunate enough to play in the NFL. We watched him play in college, and that was my first example. I saw someone that I knew, that I could touch and talk to, get an athletic scholarship. Then I knew, okay, this is real. This could actually happen.

Maybe it’s for the best you were thwarted in your football aspirations? Basketball isn’t without its dangers, but in light of what’s now known about traumatic brain injuries, the path you took seems a little safer.

EM: Thank goodness, I haven’t really had any serious injuries, no concussions. I was fortunate my whole career. I got the normal rolled or sprained ankles, and things like that as a teenager. Through high school and college, I never really had a serious injury. My freshman year in college, I did strain my abdominal muscle, which allowed me to get a medical red shirt. But after that, no injuries.

You’re obviously still in good enough shape to run the courts here at MAC on a regular basis. How have you maintained your level of fitness as a coach?

EM: It’s having that passion for the sport, for the game, and then having the passion for wanting to be healthy. That’s the biggest thing for me. I enjoy staying in shape and then, obviously, love playing the game, and that’s the best way to stay in shape.

What has been the most satisfying part of your career thus far?

EM: When I was younger, all I wanted to do was go to college to get an education. That was my plan, my goal. When I finally signed that letter of intent, I was like, “I did it! Here it is!” That was big. Going back to my kids, I would also say watching them play in high school and college was amazing. People ask, “Which do you enjoy more, playing yourself, or coaching and watching your kids play?” For me, it was sitting in the stands, watching my kids play college basketball. It was more fun than when I was playing.

It must have been easier!

EM: Yeah, I don’t know about that. It was pretty stressful because I couldn’t do anything about it. You can’t do anything to change the game. You can’t control it. That part is tougher, but I have three kids, two of them played college ball, and I helped to coach and train them.

They were coach’s kids, so they were both really smart basketball players.

That part I didn’t have to worry about, but you get in a close game, and you realize that they have to rely on themselves and their teammates.

Continued from page 55 Life’s all about knowing what you can control, what you can’t control, and the ability to trust in your preparation in the latter situation, right?

EM: Those are the life lessons. On the basketball court, I can share my experience with them and pretty much let them know, here’s what’s going to happen. When you have different scenarios, this is the best way to handle them, because I’ve already experienced that game-wise. I can rest a little bit easier knowing that they listened and accepted what I taught them. Even those close games were just games. My kids were well-prepared and if I did worry, it was for no reason Now, you’re taking over MAC’s basketball program, which has sort of been dormant for the past year. There wasn’t a competitive season in 2020, correct? What are some of the challenges you’re encountering?

EM: There are fewer kids, and some don’t want to play anymore or are reluctant to come back because they’ve been away for a while now and they’re comfortable. Filling teams, I would say, has been a struggle, and with coaches, as well. Getting coaches in place has been the biggest obstacle. Fortunately, there’s been good progress. We just hired our last coach, and he starts Monday. We’re still filling out a couple of rosters, but the train has been moving.

What are your hopes for the future of MAC Basketball?

EM: I’m hoping to follow in the footsteps of a program I played in growing up. There was an organization called Slam-N-Jam that provided a great model, because it was a developmental league for guys learning and getting ready to play basketball.

I want to use that developmental league for the younger kids to help them improve their skill sets, so as they get older, we get enough kids and teams that are good enough to go out and compete at the national level. That’s the goal, I’m going to eventually take those kids out and travel, give them opportunities, and help to open doors for them.

What specific opportunities does MAC present for its coaches and players?

EM: I’m excited about the resources here, specifically the Fitness and Wellness programs. Individual basketball players or whole teams can work with specialized trainers or do specific basketball training. Having those programs involved is big for us.

What continues to make this sport so compelling after so many years?

EM: It’s just fun. Whether you’re good at it or just okay, you can have fun no matter the level. If you are passionate about it and you want to get better, then there are opportunities within the sport: getting a college scholarship, furthering your education, playing overseas, seeing the world. I did that for a couple years, and my son was able to do it for a number of years. Then, there are all the life lessons that come along with it — developing the work ethic, communication skills, social skills, leadership skills.

Is there anything crazy or unexpected people should know about you?

EM: This isn’t crazy, but maybe unexpected is that I still draw and I still draw pretty well!

But crazy is that I was on a TV show. It was a series back in the ’90s calledEqual Justice. It was Law & Order before Law & Order.

I had just got back home from an NBA camp after my senior year. I get a phone call from the scout for the Dallas Mavericks, who was based in L.A. So, I’m thinking he’s about to invite me to the Mavericks training camp, but he said, “I’ve got this opportunity for you. Do you remember the show, the White Shadow? Do you remember the character James Hayward? The actor who played him [Thomas Carter] is a director now, and he does this show Equal Justice. He’s looking for a basketball player, and I think you’d be perfect for it. Are you interested?” I said, “Heck yeah!” So, I got the chance to be in the Screen Actors Guild, Sarah Jessica Parker was on the show, and Joe Morton played my lawyer. It wasn’t the call I was expecting, but it was another opportunity I’m glad I took! WM

MAC’s Marcus Becomes Two-Time Racquetball Hall of Famer The Multnomah Athletic Club is very excited to announce that Hank Marcus was formally inducted to the USA Racquetball Hall of Fame (HOF) in Minneapolis during the USA National Racquetball Tournament in October. The USA Racquetball HOF recognizes and honors athletes and contributors who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in competition and/or in the development, leadership, and advancement of the sport.

Marcus was recognized by USA Racquetball not only for his time as a professional player, but for his lifetime dedication and contributions to the sport. During his career, he has created and organized countless indoor and outdoor competitions, contributed to assisting veterans and injured service members, and pioneered racquetball’s commitment to the generous support of Fibromyalgia research.

The HOF induction was attended by the current top-ranked male player, Kane Waselenchuk, and racquetball legends such as Sudsy Monchik, Cliff Swain, and Dave Peck. Many friends, family, and even a few MAC members were in attendance at this prestigious event.

It is important to note that Marcus is actually a two-time hall of famer, having also been inducted into the World Outdoor Racquetball (WOR) HOF in 2018. He founded WOR, which has continued to grow throughout the world and is co-founder of the Military Racquetball Federation (MRF).

Other former titles include executive director of WOR and president of the Oregon Racquetball Association. He created the Tournament of Champions, now known as the John A. Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions, a premier International

Dan Whitley with Hank Marcus.

Racquetball Tour (IRT) professional stop held at MAC and benefitting the Live Like John Foundation.

Dan Whitley, general manager of Vetta Sports in St. Louis was honored to introduce Hank at the HOF event. “No one in the history of our sport has specialized in supporting so many unique groups of players on both the national and local level. Hank Marcus was an excellent junior player, pro player, clinician/ instructor, tournament director, and club pro but aspired to do even more! He was the creator of the IRT, WOR, MRF, and an innovator with Ektelon and now Head/Penn. Hank does everything for everyone. Recognition might not be Hank’s thing, but his efforts are what have given so many of us our “thing” in racquetball!”

Marcus is energetic, engaged, and responsive to the needs of MAC’s members with encouragement for all level of players, from those training for the Junior Olympics to a Golden Master. Athletic Director Valerie Cleary said, “In my brief time at the MAC, there is already one thing I know as true: Hank Marcus is truly an MVP all-around.

It came as no surprise to learn of his induction in the USA Racquetball Hall of Fame.

The dedication, leadership, and passion I have seen him apply to his role as the Committee Support Coordinator has no doubt originated from his amazing career as the MAC Racquetball Head Coach and his international contributions to the sport.”

MAC members Georgette Blomquist (back row, third from the right) and Jennifer Briglia (front row, second from right) traveled to Corvallis to participate in a women’s one-day racquetball doubles tournament at the end of November. They placed second in the bracket play.

Racquetball is making a great comeback at MAC with fall intramural season wrapping up and winter season starting soon. Contact Hank Marcus with questions or interest in how to get started playing: hmarcus@themac.com

New Fitness Goals for the New Year?

Try Karate!

With the new year comes the inspiration to recommit to fitness goals. It may also prompt an interest in trying out a new challenge. MAC Karate offers an opportunity for both. While many people understand martial arts from movies and popular culture, with complicated moves and impressive fighting sequences, everyone starts as a beginner. And every beginner develops skill, discipline, and endurance over time.

Beginner classes, open to anyone ages 7 and up, start with karate basics: punching, kicking, and blocks. Each 30-minute session breaks down different skills into simple movements with an emphasis on details like posture, center of gravity, and how the body moves through each technique. As a result, beginner classes are less physically demanding although they do require focus. As skills become more familiar, students progress to incorporating them into combinations and moving across the floor.

As students continue past the beginner sessions, there is more emphasis on developing stamina and strength in order to improve the overall karate practice. In turn, good physical fitness becomes more important in achieving new levels of training and promoting to new color belts. However, this progress is all measured against each person’s own ability. One of MAC Karate’s guiding principles, “strive to reach your limits,” is a reminder that we all have different abilities and are working towards goals within those abilities.

If you are interested in trying karate classes at MAC, 11-week beginner sessions begin in January and March 2022. See the MAC website for more information and to register. For questions about the program, please contact karate@themac.com.

Nationals featured the top 15 teams from around the United States and MAC’s team beat all four of their opponents in the roundrobin format and earning the No. 2 seed for the final day. On Sunday morning, MAC played Mississippi in the semi-finals and won two of the first sets. However, Mississippi flipped the momentum, and all three matches went to a third set tie break where Mississippi won all three tie breaks. Mississippi played Texas in the finals with the Lone Star state prevailing. MAC ended up losing to the Mid-Atlantic team in the third place match.

After the initial sting of losing in the semis, they were proud to bring back the fourth place Nationals banner.

Some observations: Teams from the south have an advantage of being able to play outside year-round where Oregonians can only do that through September. It is challenging adapting to the outdoor conditions of sun in your eyes, wind, heat, and humidity after only playing inside for two months.

The Journey to USTA Nationals Congratulations to the MAC 6.0 40+ mix team, captained by Kayla Casebeer, which placed fourth at United States Tennis Association (USTA) Nationals in Orlando, Florida in November!

Those who play USTA tennis have an idea how difficult it is to make it to Nationals.

For those that don’t, it is a long difficult road.

The first step is placing first or second in your rated flight (skill level) during the regular season. Team Casebeer placed first in its flight and played against other top place teams from the greater Portland/Vancouver area in the playoffs.

The top two teams then advance to Sectionals, which brings together the top eight USTA teams from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho). Sectionals were held in Tacoma this time around and played under strict COVID restrictions — no fans or spectators allowed in facility. Despite the lack of a cheering section the MAC team swept Eastern Washington, NW Washington, SW Washington in the round robin and went on to beat their local rival from Tualatin Hills 3-0 in the finals.

Now they were Orlando bound!

62 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2022

Asked what helped to get them to Nationals, Kayla Casebeer said, “Our team was dedicated to improving and a big credit goes to coach Maureen Harwood and Marco Pineda who worked with many players on the team giving lessons throughout the year. After we won Sectionals, Coach Paul Reber worked with us twice a week for six weeks showing up for 6 a.m. lessons.” Coach Reber credits their team chemistry and willingness to work hard on improving their game leading up to Nationals.

Orlando was an amazing place to visit: 80-degree sunny weather, friendly folks, and warm hospitality. The USTA National Campus is an impressive facility. It features 98 fully lit championship courts and 84 with cameras and microphones livestreaming matches. Families and friends 3,000 miles away could watch matches live and with audio so you could hear every bit of the action. The venue did present some challenges, including getting used to the large commercial planes taking off from nearby Orlando Airport every eight minutes.

Making it to Nationals is tremendously difficult. Some 1,300 teams typically start out the season and only the top 16 make it.

You need the perfect storm of players peaking at their rating level, a group that enjoys being around each other and is willing to put in individual and group work to improve their game, and a great captain to lead them. The 6.0 Mix Team Casebeer had all of this. It was inspiring to watch a group of people united toward the goal of winning it all but, more importantly, having fun and being great sports along the journey. I look forward to watching the next MAC Tennis team that brings home a USTA Nationals banner to hang over Court 7.

Ships setting sail on the seas might encounter all kinds of unexpected weather impediments, and the same can be said for humans embarking on new phases of their life journeys.

When just such a member, Carole Hebb, moved from a house she’d designed herself near Oaks Park to The Springs Living, where she resides independently but still in different fashion than she had previously experienced, a troubling mist began to take shape.

“I thought the transition was really easy on the surface, but I realized later it was one hell of a move because it’s just not something I had done before,” Hebb explains. “One habit was the same. I’d get up in the morning and make myself presentable in order to go downstairs to breakfast, but everything was different. I just rolled with it, but there was a kind of brain fog. Usually, I didn’t have that.

I was using the pool at our facility, and I realized I couldn’t remember all of the exercises.

“Two or three months ago, I discovered this class with Kristen [Hoffman], and here are all these gals. There are about 15 of them

Hoffman is happy to hear it, and similarly cherishes her time with members: “The Tuesday/Thursday water fitness pool pals create a warm, welcoming community where members can belong and be known. They are a dedicated group who show up consistently not only for the classes but each other as well.

We are truly a family, and what makes this group so special is the way I have seen them care for each other during seasons of joy and challenges. It is a pleasure to teach the class and work with each of them to see the happiness that healthy habits can bring. Group exercise can enhance the benefits because they’re enjoying it together.”

Beneficial human bonds are nothing new to Hebb, but that doesn’t make discovering new ones any less powerful. Whether raising two sons with late husband and creative entrepreneur Paul Hebb, whom Carole describes as “the love of my life and a gem of a gentleman’s gentleman,” or sharing meals with newfound friends at The Springs, Hebb knows how to forge relationships. Once upon a time, she pedaled ready-to-wear fashions and fabrics including Harris Tweed and Scottish tartans from shops she started called Traveler’s Choice and A Yard at a Tyme. The inventory of the latter was filled with materials supplied by folks she met during extensive travels with her family when Paul was on the Economic Development Council of Oregon.

No matter how full the early acts of one’s life are, there’s still room for packing in more motivating experiences, Hebb says. “It’s really been quite a wonderful life, but this class has done more for me recently than anything else.

Continued from page 66 I felt like I was sinking into old age, and I’m too ornery to go there! You have to keep the body moving, or it won’t, you know.”

“She’s also worked extensively with MAC Physical Therapist Jay Jensen, and credits him with helping her to recover after kneereplacement surgery. He is kind, considerate, compassionate, and tough at the same time.

He really knows his work.”

Hebb also puts in her own work. She exercises on the floor at home any morning she’s not at the club, and does her best to walk two miles every day. “I was just reading The Winged M, and saw this class that pertains to seniors and keeping them moving, so I’m going to call and try to get in there, too.”

Even the feistiest of spirits faced the specter of malaise over the past year and a half, as COVID kept everyone home, and isolated some of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Hebb recounts that, while she’d never before considered resigning her membership, the possibility did occur to her during the pandemic. “Do I stick it out?,” she remembers asking herself.

“Yeah. I’m not giving up the club because it’s too important to me to have this place to come to.” Hebb has made many friends at MAC over the years, from current secondyear trustee Marilyn Whitaker, who helped Hebb sell her home, to Patty and Bobby Burke, a couple she met during her time on the Walking & Hiking Committee who also walked Hebb’s beloved dog Peanut after the aforementioned knee surgery.

Like the muscles of the body, the metaphorical heart requires use to keep working, and Hebb takes her exercises seriously. “I don’t mind my own company, but I need friends. I love to meet new people, and I believe if you just give somebody a smile, it goes a long way for their day.

“This class brings me outside, and I’ve been able to see some of my old friends here. I couldn’t have a better situation for independent living, but you sever so many connections when you move into a new place.

You have to reach out to keep things alive. It’s just very stimulating for me to get out and about, and part of it is coming to the club, my home away from home.” WM

From the Archives

ack in 1953, in an effort to bring a bit of winter wonderland to the Rose Festival in summer, Safway Scaffolding oversaw the construction of a giant ski jump in Multnomah Stadium. The 150-footplus structure — covered in 200 tons of artificially made snow — was part of a ski jumping and alpine slalom competition hosted on the site where Providence Park now stands. Roughly 40,000 spectators cheered on the winning jump of 131 feet made by Portlander, Arny Hoel.

What the MAC community might not know is that it was a fellow member, Paul Hebb, who oversaw the construction of this frosty behemoth. Owner of Safway Scaffolding, Hebb was involved with a number of ambitious entrepreneurial and construction endeavors in the area, including the Country Square in Lake Oswego. He was key to the development of Salishan, south of Lincoln City, and Hebb Park in West Linn is named after him. He is survived by his wife, Carole, who offered these historical photos to fill out the story of one of Multnomah Athletic Club’s more photogenic moments.
