love browsing through ancient issues of The Winged M. Recently, while exploring how the club’s athletic programs have evolved through the years, I discovered interesting, and at times amusing bits of club history demonstrating MAC’s longstanding commitment to athletic excellence.
Darcy Henderson president
1939: “It is only within relatively recent years that safe places with guards and instructors have been provided for [swimming]. Fortunate those who have such a place to go as the pool at the [Multnomah] athletic club.” 1944: “The Athletic Committee’s recommendations that the fast growing and popular body building department be enlarged to take care of the more than 300 members who are using this facility, was approved… When completed the Multnomah Athletic Club’s body building department will not only be the largest but the best equipped in the United States.” 1953: “There’s talk of a new women’s swimming team wearing the winged M – strictly for the housewives and working gals who enjoy swimming enough to put in a little extra effort and be ‘on the team.’” 1955: “When the fall and winter athletic schedule goes into effect, MAC members will be participating in what is probably the most extensive club athletic program offered anywhere in the United States.” 1958: “Our athletic staff is entitled to the highest praise for its masterful supervision of the tremendous athletic program we offer… The club adheres to the concept of its founders and is in fact, as well as in name, an ‘athletic club.’” 1962: “…we are always ready to sponsor a new program whenever there is sufficient membership interest. For example, classes in trampoline and judo have been added in recent years. To the best of my knowledge our athletic program is the most diversified of any club in the country.” 1985: “MAC hosted the National Athletic Club Athletic Directors Conference this year…. The most common reaction of the ADs to the MAC was, ‘What a great facility,’ ‘The finest I’ve seen,’ ‘You must be very proud.’” Fast forward to 2014. The club’s athletic offerings are more expansive than ever, creating a greater challenge when it comes to
maintaining excellence. In April, members again evaluated the club’s sport programs, helping committees and staff identify areas where we need to devote more attention and resources in order to elevate the level of quality. Overall, most of the club’s athletic offerings continue to receive good marks, with gymnastics, handball, racquetball, swimming, synchro and triathlon earning the highest levels of satisfaction. Squash, tennis, ski, cycling, soccer and volleyball tend to have lower ratings, particularly in the areas of training and/or facilities. The two-year results of the Athletic Excellence survey consistently identify communications and customer service as areas needing improvement in relation to most of our athletic programs. This is a member-driven effort, with strong support and involvement from the athletic staff. A subcommittee of the Athletic Committee was created and has shepherded the program. Members gave candid feedback about the sports in which they or their children participate. The survey results have been shared directly with the respective sport committees, who will propose up to three areas of concern and an action plan or resources needed to address them. Starting in August, those items will be considered for implementation as part of the staff evaluation and budget creation processes. Since its inception in 1891 as the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, MAC has boasted an undisputed tradition of athletic excellence. Whether you’re playing hoops, watching a racquetball game, waiting for Evolution class to start, or enjoying dinner in the Sports Pub, it’s hard not to notice the trophies, medals, ribbons, and award plaques displayed throughout the club. Every January at the Banquet of Champions, we celebrate the club’s most recent national and world champions, as well as some of our most inspirational athletes. While I am awed by the abilities and achievements of MAC champions past and present, I am even more proud of the club’s commitment to excellence in every sport, at every age and ability. Now and in the future, MAC’s athletic programs and activities continue to strive for the same standard of excellence that the club’s founders envisioned so long ago. Speaking of athletic traditions, this year the MerryMacs celebrate their 60-year anniversary. There has been one constant prescence throughout the decades – Dinda Mills. Mills, a member for 62 years, has remained on the committee and in the pool since the Eisenhower Administration, and just last month, competed in the MerryMacs annual tournament. Congratulations Dinda. WM July 2014

y thoughts often turn to memories from major events in my life. Recently, my son arrived home from his first year of college. Yesterday, my wife Valerie and one of our daughters, Madison, arrived home from a Norm Rich road trip from Texas General Manager to Portland, with stops in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and with one speeding ticket. Today, we celebrate the birthday of our twins, Max and Madison. I am getting ready to join them for breakfast to begin a day of celebration. It’s hard to believe that just yesterday our twins were born, and today we are celebrating their 20th birthday. Where has the time gone? Times have changed, events happen, and memories are constantly being updated. Our little people have become big people with minds of their own, and getting them to do what we want is not always possible. Thinking back, it never was! I have dedicated myself this summer to connecting with our kids as much as possible. Time is running short for family as we once knew it. While we look forward to meaningful time together and making more memories, we know things will never be the same. Boyfriends and girlfriends, internships and jobs, opportunities and experiences where get into the way. I want us to hold on to these memories and make them more fun while adding exclamation points along the way. Quite coincidentally, I received an email message today from a high school friend with postings on our graduating class website. It is so interesting to read the whereabouts of high school buddies and previous sweethearts. My graduating class was over 600 strong, and sadly, we have lost 50 members far too early! The width and breadth of my high school friends is remarkable; both personally and professionally. This too brings back memories; stories that are mostly true –but after 40 years, there may be some credibility issues. The older the story the better it is! The MAC is a club among friends, family and competitors enjoying athletic competitions and social interactions while having fun. Our club is a large community of members producing athletic excellence and good times by making and preserving
memories for everyone. Our members have a common purpose to enjoy life to its fullness and I am proud to say that the club has made a difference in most members’ lives! Our goal is to improve members’ lives through an incredible number of activities – both athletic and social – to allow the membership to participate any and every way they choose. Memories last a lifetime and should be enjoyed by all! Now that it is July, the rain has ceased and we are in full-blown summer! We have many camps that are still available for members to enjoy. Unfortunately, many camps are at capacity and for those who cannot attend, we apologize, but are encouraged by member’s enthusiast interest. We have many tent events this summer, including Splash, a social poolside experience celebrating food, fun and sun, and seats for Timbers and Thorns games on MAC’s Stadium Terrace, available 30 days before the game. Due to an budget-busting, complex project, we have moved the repairs of the kitchen floors and ballroom renovation to next summer, and dinner is served as usual in the Men’s Bar all summer long. The 50-meter Pool is well on its way toward renovation, including all new air ventilation equipment, with a completion date slated for late October. The Board has provided committees and management with clear direction on major projects for the next three years. Management appreciates the direction. It allows us enough time to conceptually plan, design, and budget and build facilities that the membership wants and committees and the Board have supported.
A fond farewell Lastly, this month we say a temporary goodbye to Peter Julia, a rock climbing coach and supervisor who went off to the seminary two years ago. During the summers he returns to offer rock climbing expertise and good prayers for our climbing community. Peter has been rewarded for his hard work by being selected to go to Rome for two years of seminary training. I could not be more proud of Peter, and his passion for his training and vocation. I look forward to attending his ordination as a Jesuit priest four years from now. Peter, here’s hoping you have an absolutely extraordinary experience in Rome – may God bless you throughout your career! May your calling bring adventures around the world and may you return to our community with spiritual knowhow to guide us. WM

uring the summer months, athletic activity in the clubhouse changes. Many of our sport programs, such as squash or racquetball, have seasons that run from about mid-September to early June. During that period, league Pete Greer play, tournaments and Assistant Athletic other activities keep director the athletic facilities busy. Summer is down time for most of these sports, and many of the participants turn to outdoor activities like golf or cycling. However, during the summer months, we experience a surge in junior activity. This summer, we are planning close to 200 individual camps for kids, with most of these being week-long athletic camps for ages from toddlers to teens. One of my roles as MAC Assistant Athletic Director is to manage our Athletic Master Calendar, and track tournaments, meets and leagues. Looking through the last year, I counted nearly a dozen larger hosted athletic events at the club. A hosted athletic event could be defined as an athletic competition in which MAC members and non-members participate. By “larger,” I mean competitions in which the number of participants might range from 100 up to this year’s record 1,360 competitors in the MAC Open gymnastics meet. These events can have a big impact on the club, often affecting parking, creating longer lines at Joe’s, or making the jobs of our entrance and security staff more challenging. I recognize the extra effort it takes of our support staff on weekends when we are holding such events, and I appreciate their hard work. Recently, I was asked to participate on the 125th anniversary ad hoc planning committee, which is taking the lead role in preparing for the club’s upcoming anniversary in 2016. On the Athletic side, we are looking at the club’s tradition of hosting athletic events, with a goal of bringing as many national championship level competitions to MAC during this celebratory year as we can. Committees have been asked to make an effort to bring their sport’s national championship to the club. As of the time of writing this article, we have already secured two such events, with the 2016 High School Racquetball National Championships in late winter and the 2016 Handball Masters National Championships in spring. A number of other national-level championships are also being pursued, and we hope to have at least six or more lined up for 2016. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC Scholar Athlete Ella Donaghu won two 6A state titles, and also shattered Oregon state records in the girls 3,000-meter and 1,500-meter runs this track season. The Grant sophomore beat a field comprised of college runners during the Portland Track Festival at Lewis & Clark College in June, running a 4:21 that’s good for third best in the country. In May, she ran 9:24 in the 3,000 at a meet at Grant High School. The previous record was 9:32. Donaghu already owned the state’s 5K record, which she set during the 2013 cross country season. In between her recordbreaking runs were victories in the 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs at the OSAA State Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. Grant’s 4x400 relay team, on which she ran, finished second at the state meet. Donaghu won every individual race she entered during the 2014 track and field season. The 2014 MAC Scholar Athlete was the 2013 cross country 6A state champion and 2013 Gatorade Cross Country Runner of the Year, and also officiates youth track and field meets.
To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Communications Manager Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.
Junior member Tristan Anastas capped a stellar track season with a 5A state title in the high jump. Anastas, who recently graduated from Wilson High School, won the high jump in every competition her competed in this year. His 6-foot-10 personal best, set in April, stands as the Wilson school record the best high school jump in Oregon this season at any level. Anastas also finished sixth at state in the long jump, and competed in the 110-meter hurdles and javelin this season. This fall, he heads to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on a partial track scholarship. He’s already aiming for the school record there, which is 6-foot-9.
MAC Scholar Athlete Piper Donoghu, who recently graduated from Grant High School, won the 6A state title in the 800-meter run at the OSAA State Championships Meet at Hayward Field in May. It was her second consecutive 800-meter title. Donaghu also ran on the Grant team that finished second in the 4x400meter relay, and finished second in the 1,500meter run. She followed her state title up with a 2:09 800-meter run at the Portland Track Festival at Lewis & Clark College in June; it was the fastest time in the state this year. Donaghu’s 1,500 time was good for second best in Oregon. She will run for Georgetown University starting next fall.
MAC Scholar Athlete Olivia Gabriel won the 6A state title in the 400meter dash, and anchored the 4x400-meter relay team that won the state title, earning Central Catholic a one-point victory over Grant for the 6A state team title. Olivia, a sophomore for the Rams, also finished fourth in the 200-meter dash and was part of the 4x100-meter relay team that finished second in the state. She also plays volleyball for Central Catholic, and is involved in community service through the Oregon Food Bank, Providence Child Center, Blanchet House and the Catholic Youth Organization, in which she is a student leader. Gabriel was also the 2013 girls track MVP for Central Catholic.
MAC Scholar Athlete Maddie Rabing won the 6A state title in the shot put, besting her closest opponent by nearly four feet. She also finished second in the state in the discus throw. Rabing set the best throws in the state in both of those events for the year. She ran on the Pacers 4x400-meter relay team as well. A sophomore at Lakeride, Rabing also plays varsity basketball and is a class officer for the Lake Oswego chapter of the National Charity League. She is involved in the Special Olympics, American Diabetes Association, is a Northwest Children’s Outreach volunteer, and is a junior coach for Our Lady of the Lake track and field team.

In April, MAC junior member Jamieson Wells earned the rank of Eagle Scout in his Beaverton Troop 124 of the Boy Scouts of America. For his Eagle project, Wells led a group of scouts to design, build, and install a sorely needed sitting bench and gymnasium direction sign next to the athletics field at Westview High School. Wells is currently elected Junior Class Representative at Westview and is running for All Student Body Vice President for his senior year. He swam on Westview’s varsity swim team this year and continues to play on Westview’s soccer and lacrosse teams. The Westview junior is a percussionist in his school band programs and is in his 11th year studying piano.

In Memoriam William James Harrow May 24, 1916 - 2014 William James Harrow was born the son of James and Ethel (Guiss) Harrow on May 24, 1916 in Portland, Oregon. “Willy” was raised and educated in Portland, graduating from Washington High School. He then attended the University of Oregon, from which he earned a Bachelor of Science degree, graduating with the class of 1940. He lettered in track and field. He later served as president of the Oregon Duck Club. During his college years, William was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He was a member of MAC for over 73 years. William married Portland debutante Molly Cunningham on Jan. 3, 1942. That same month William entered the U.S. Navy. He was stationed on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and in Kansas. He was honorably discharged in January 1946 with the rank of Navy Lieutenant. Born to William and Molly were a daughter, Mary, and sons John, Jim and David. William was an account executive for United Airlines in Portland. He retired after 39 years. He then became a filbert farmer. He developed, worked, and lived on his filbert farm southwest of Portland in the red hills of Dundee for next 34 years. William worked the farm well into his eighties, and ran a tight ship on operations into his late nineties. On Sunday, February 23, 2014 William James Harrow died at the Chehalem Health and Rehab Center, when he was 97 years, nine months, and 29 days of age. He lived in his home in Dundee for all but a month before his passing. Surviving, and left to honor his life, is his daughter, Mary (Lonnie) Ball of Bozeman, Mont.; two sons, James (Linda) Harrow of Tualatin; and David (Carol) Harrow of Dallas; seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Willy was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, his wife Molly and his son John.
Robert “Bob” J. Johnston April 22, 1930 - April 03, 2014 Senior Family Preferred member Robert “Bob” J. Johnston passed peacefully April 3 at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center with his family beside him. Bob and his twin brother, Bill, were born in Salem to Joseph and Ora Johnston.

Jeffrey Lee Lamy April 23, 1938 - May 05, 2014 Senior family preferred member Jeffrey Lee Lamy passed away May 5, 2014, at the age of 76, after an 18-year battle with GuillainBarré. He was a fighter to the end, with a positive attitude and extraordinary will to live. Jeff was born to Joseph and Eleanor “Pat” Lamy in Chicago and raised in Evanston, Ill. He earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Yale University. Shortly thereafter, Jeff met the love of his life, Judy Begley, on a blind date that was set up by his brother and her roommate. Jeff and Judy were married for over 52 years. Jeff and his young family lived in Barrington, R.I., Syracuse, N.Y., Wheaton, Ill., Moscow, Idaho, and Eugene, before settling in the Portland area. They lived in their home in Southwest Portland for 30 years and moved to Hillsboro in 2006. In the early years, Jeff worked in the aerospace industry. He was the chamber manager in Moscow. He was the director or economic development for the Eugene Chamber and later was appointed to the Pacific Northwest Regional Commission under President Ford. When they moved to Portland, he became an economic consultant. While working as an economic consultant, Jeff turned his hobby, a passion for wine making, into his career. A self-taught vintner, Jeff was the consultant who guided the owners of Montinore Estate through their beginning and early years. He loved working in the Oregon wine industry and was well known. He was very proud of his accolades and accomplishments. Even after his disease began, Jeff was writing three books about various aspects of wine making and continued in vineyard and winery consulting. Jeff played football in high school and at Yale. He loved to watch football, the NFL, Oregon Ducks or any other game all suited him fine. Among his many interests,
he enjoyed traveling and dancing. He was a talented musician and had played in the drum and bugle corps in high school, where he had a solo and had toured throughout the United States. He was an accomplished cook. The family suggests making a donation to Multnomah Athletic Foundation, 1849 S.W.

Barbara Lucille List March 29, 1934 - April 23, 2014 Senior family preferred member Barbara Lucille List passed away peacefully surrounded by family in Portland on April 23. She was 80. Although Barbara was diagnosed with ALS (commonly known as Lou Gherig’s disease) in 1994, she maintained a positive attitude, great sense of humor and joy of life that influenced many people and was an inspiration to those around her. She embodied love and was openminded, engaging and social. Barbara was a passionate supporter of the arts throughout her life and active in the community. She was a voracious reader and avid member of several book clubs. She loved traveling, music, film and cooking, and was a member of a gourmet cooking club. She also enjoyed backpacking, skiing and running. Born March 29, 1934, to James Arnold and Dale Shipman, Barbara and her brother, George, grew up and attended schools in Monroe, Mich. In 1956, she graduated from Albion College with Bachelor of Arts in Art/ English. After college, Barbara worked briefly as a copywriter at Marshall-Fields in Chicago before returning to Michigan to study library science at the University of Michigan, where she received a master’s degree in 1959. In August of that year, Barbara married Walter List in Monroe. Barbara met Walter while the two were at Albion College and began dating when Walter was attending dental school at the University of Michigan. She worked as a children’s librarian in Dearborn, Mich., before moving to Milwaukee in 1960. Barbara continued to work as a librarian at Marquette University, where Walter completed dental school. Barbara gave birth to her first child, Cara, in 1962. In 1965, Barbara moved to Chicago, Continued on page 19 July 2014

In Portland, Barbara was a member of the League of Women Voters, a volunteer at the Portland Symphony Orchestra and docent at the Portland Art Museum, where she was very active in the 1970s and often led tours. Barbara also became involved on the Activities Council at the Portland Art Museum, serving in a variety of capacities, including secretary of the council in 1977-1978.

Upon its closing, she joined Laura Russo at the Laura Russo Gallery.

Gerry Swanson July 20, 1943 - May 16, 2014 Senior preferred member Gerry F. Swanson died May 16. He was 70. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This was Gerry’s core belief guiding him in deed and action. We are stunned by the sudden passing of our Grandpa Gerry – father, brother and best friend, at the age of 70. Our only comfort is that he was at Black Butte, the place he felt most at home. Gerry Swanson was born July 20, 1943, in Portland, the older of two sons of Marie and Arvid Swanson. He graduated from Madison High School in 1961. Gerry received two degrees from Portland State University, in economics and business, in 1966. Gerry married Laurie Freeman in 1972 and settled in Lake Oswego. Their son, Bryan, arrived in 1975. The couple later divorced, remaining united in all things concerning their son. Gerry had a long career in the medical supply industry; starting with Johnson and Johnson and American Convertors, which
eventually became Baxter Healthcare. He entered retirement early to care for his mother, Marie, in the last years of her life. Gerry’s greatest joy was his family. He showered them with his unconditional love and devotion. He attended every sports event, often as coach, always as chief supporter of Bryan, Ryder and Taylor. Gerry loved being physically active, running, walking, golfing and skiing. He took care of himself mentally and physically, eating well, reading constantly and being a lifelong learner. He was a longtime member of MAC. He was the consummate minimalist – sometimes to his family’s amusement. He loved people, not things. No one could be more genuinely grateful for family and close friends. He cherished them all. Gerry knew how to be a true friend and positive force. Determined to give back, Gerry felt deeply about disadvantaged children. He was involved with several charities throughout the years, in particular CASA and Friends of Children. Survivors include his son, Bryan (Jeannie); brother, Ron (JoAnne); and grandchildren, Ryder and Taylor, whom he adored. Remembrances may be made to CASA and Friends of Children in lieu of flowers, please.

The House Committee reminds parents that they are responsible for their children’s behavior in the club. Parents must keep a close eye on little ones for their safety and to make sure they do not disrupt other members. A child younger than age 7 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while in the club. The adult may be a parent or other caregiver who is at least age 18. The adult must remain alert and attentive to the child. Often, adults become distracted by conversations with other members or employees, leaving the child unsupervised. Parents should make sure that young children do not endanger those with mobility issues by running or playing in the lobby, hallways, stairwells, sidewalks and Sky Bridge. Children must also be kept close at hand in the parking structure for their own safety. When dining in the Sports Pub, children should remain seated and not allowed to run around or crawl under tables. Not only does such behavior disrupt other diners, but it creates a tripping hazard for servers carrying heavy trays and hot foods. Parents should also instill good manners in their children by insisting on “inside voices” and respect for club property. Children should be taught to place used towels in the laundry bins and trash in the appropriate receptacles. Children younger than age 7 must stay at the table when finished eating unless an adult is willing to take them out of the restaurant and supervise them while others in the party linger. Children often leave the pub and play unsupervised in the Centennial Lounge or run up and down the main staircase. If a child is behaving in a way contrary to club expectations, the parents are expected to deal with the situation by redirecting the child or removing him from the area or the clubhouse. Parents may be disciplined for leaving a child younger than age 7 unattended in the club; the minimum sanction is a twomonth suspension. Parents may also be disciplined for rules violations of their junior age children.
Issues with junior members During the past few months a number of junior members received suspensions ranging from two to six months for violating club rules. Parents are asked to go over Club Rules with their children and remind them of the importance of respecting club policies. Failing to follow the rules can have serious consequences. Not only will these juniors be prevented from using the club during their summer break, but their parents must pay a
fee of at least $100 to reinstate the children’s privileges. Most of the violations involve sneaking in nonmembers by giving false information to the entrance attendants. Juniors may not introduce guests, and helping a nonmember enter without authorization is a more than a harmless prank. The House Committee enforces rules of conduct for members and guests by investigating infractions and recommending sanctions to the Board of Trustees. Recent House Committee actions approved by the board are listed below, along with reminders about the applicable club rules.
Rules reminders • Behavior unbecoming a member – Any behavior that is deemed inappropriate for a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, regardless of reference to specific Club Rule • Disregard for guest policies – Knowingly violating guest policies, including but not limited to: failing to register athletic or social guests; failing to pay applicable guest fees; disregarding frequency restrictions for athletic guests or failing to comply with any aspect of current guest policies. • Lending membership card – Lending a membership card, membership number or personal information for purposes of gaining entrance to the club, acquiring club products or services. • Rules violation – Violation of any club rule not otherwise categorized. Including but not limited to refusal to present membership card upon entrance, photographing members without permission, etc. • Theft or attempted theft – Including theft of club property, products or services; and member, nonmember or staff property.
Violations • A 14-year-old junior member was suspended for two months for disregard for guest policies. The member gave an erroneous explanation to the attendant about needing to get something from her parent, while her non-member friend would wait in the lobby. Instead of waiting in the lobby, the non-member continued on with the member. The member did not respond to the overhead pages and was seen leaving the club with the non-member almost two hours later. • Two junior members, age 16 and 17 years old, were suspended for six months for disregard for guest policies and lending a membership card. They attempted to enter with a non-member at the Athletic Entrance and when denied entrance, attempted at the Fourth Floor Entrance. They also gave the non-member a sibling’s member number, in their attempt to get the non-member into the club.
ADMINISTRATIVE • A 59-year-old member was suspended for twelve months for theft in The -M-porium. • A 35-year-old member was suspended for six months for behavior unbecoming a member. The member behaved inappropriately to several members and staff, on many different occasions. • A 16-year-old member was suspended for two months for behavior unbecoming a member. The member hit another car in the member parking garage and did not leave a note or attempt to locate the owner of the vehicle. • A 14-year-old member was suspended for three months for failure to scan membership card and disregard for guest policies. The member and non-member came through exit doors and quickly went through the Athletic Entrance and down the stairs, in an attempt to not be stopped by the attendants. • A 15-year-old member was suspended for three months for failure to scan membership card and disregard for guest policies. The member and non-member went into The Salon and came out a short time later and asked where the nearest restroom was. Instead of going to the restroom and coming straight back, they crossed the sky bridge and entered the club. WM

MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION
MAF Thrives Through Teamwork T eamwork. Each of us has experienced the positive impact of teamwork. It can be at work or play. Perhaps you are on a team at MAC, whether it be a sports team, a staff team or a MAC committee team. When we work together, we so often accomplish more than when going it alone. Teamwork is at the heart of the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. You are part of that team as a MAC member. Your support, through the annual request for a $15 contribution in your billing statement, makes it possible for the foundation to provide grants and scholarships in the Portland Metropolitan area. From all of us on the foundation board – thank you in advance for your charitable gift! Teamwork between MAC members and the Foundation provides resources through community grants to nonprofit organizations offering programs and services, with particular focus on underserved communities. Your foundation gift will help fund programs that provide: • Soccer or track shoes for a homeless child • Adaptive bicycles for youth with disabilities • Boxing gloves for motivated athletes • Summer sports camp scholarships • College scholarships for high achievers with financial need
Teamwork is key to our belief, as foundation board members, that participation in athletics can help youth better reach their full future potential by learning together. We believe if individuals grow and prosper, so will our community. We believe in our motto – achievement through athletics. Your $15 charitable gift is vital to the work accomplished by the foundation. And, yes, there are other ways that you can provide support as a part of the team working to better our community. Some of the ways you can be part of team include:
• Contribute to an existing endowment fund. There are many options. • Donate stocks or assets. • Include the foundation in your will. • Connect us to your favorite nonprofit. We can determine with you if it meets our guidelines. Many of you have done this already and we thank you. • Join us for a foundation event. We have an increasing number of events that either raise funds and/or build awareness of the Continued on page 25

The Morning Book Club reviews Candice Millard’s Destiny of the Republic on Thursday, July 10. This is a haunting tale of a man who never meant to seek the presidency, but found himself swept into the White House. Millard digs deeply into the turmoil that got James Garfield elected, the lunacy that got him shot, and the medical malfeasance that turned a minor wound to a mortal one. The reader is left with the feeling that Garfield’s assassination deprived the nation of a remarkably humble and gifted man. Continued on page 38

Some Common Myths about Health Care in America Tuesday, Sept. 9, 6:30-8 p.m. Highly politicized media accounts of the health care system have led to a number of misconceptions about health care in America.

Likewise, current political debates about Obamacare seem to overshadow the reality of the importance of health insurance. This presentation highlights recent international and national data on health care access and quality to address popular myths about health care in America. The lecture is presented by Dr. Matthew J.

Head Outside to Enjoy the Summer
A Few Tips for Using the Driver Wisely
MAC’s adult basketball program takes to the outdoors to enjoy two great events this summer. The first event is the Ray Martinelli Hack Hoop Open. This is a team golf scramble event that’s been a mainstay at the club for decades. The event is Thursday, July 24 at East Moreland Golf Course. Golf starts at 1 p.m., followed by burgers, beer and prizes. Prizes are awarded for the first and second place teams, and to winners of the long drive and KP contest. All skill levels are encouraged to play – this format delivers a great time to all participants. The cost of the event is $95. Register online at theMAC.com. The last day to cancel is Sunday, July 13. In August, the club heads to the West Hills for the Outdoor 3-on-3 Tournament. This is the 31st year for this annual tournament. The tournament is held Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 4 p.m. at Stroheckers Park in the West Hills. Prizes are awarded to the winners. Come out with the family and enjoy games, burgers, snacks, beverages and beer. Register online at theMAC.com. The last day to cancel is Sunday, Aug. 17.
Many golfers refer to their driver as the favorite club in their bag. Here are a few tips to have more fun hitting a driver. First, a driver is designed to make contact with the ball on the upswing, so be sure the ball position is off the inside heel of the forward foot. Second, use a long tee and tee the ball high to encourage ideal contact. Third, maintain good balance by limiting the length of the backswing, keeping the club short of parallel. Lorain Controlling the length of one’s swing makes it easier to return the club to the ball for a more consistent result. Tee it high, let it fly and find it in the fairway! Get junior golfers off to a great start by participating in the MAC Golf Parent/Child event Saturday, Aug. 9 at The Children’s Course in Gladstone. Open to junior golfers ages 8 to 14. The entry fee is $5 per golfer. Register by Saturday, July 26 at theMAC.com.

Carbohydrates: The Simple and the Complex
Not all carbs are created equal. Nutritionist Tysen Christensen discusses which are best.
“Do carbohydrates cause weight gain?” This is a familiar question I get in both work and social settings. Carbohydrates alone do not cause weight gain, but excess calories from any source can cause weight gain. As a dietitian I encourage everyone to eat an adequate amount of carbohydrates to fuel their body. In the June issue of The Winged M, I discussed macronutrients, the nutrients that provide your body with energy. Those energy producing macronutrients are carbohydrates, fat and proteins. In nutrition, we measure the energy macronutrients provide in caloric units, or calories. A carbohydrate provides four calories, or units of energy, per gram. A carbohydrate’s main function is to provide energy to the body, in particular the muscles and the brain. All carbohydrates are long strands of sugar molecules, and those sugar molecules provide the energy or calories our bodies use. Carbohydrates can be further classified into simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates break down into individual
sugar molecules very quickly because they have very little, if any, micronutrients and fiber-rich material intertwined among their sugar molecules. Some examples of simple carbohydrates are soda, cookies and candies. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, take much longer to break down into individual sugar molecules, because they do have other micronutrient and fiber-rich materials intertwined among their sugar molecules. Examples of complex carbohydrates are whole wheat breads, fruits and vegetables. Complex carbohydrates are the optimal source of carbohydrates. Choosing complex carbohydrates allows for the sugar molecules and micronutrients to release slowly, over time, into your bloodstream. An increase in fiber content is also beneficial for an overall healthy digestive tract. All of these health benefits of complex carbohydrates can help prevent certain types of cancer, lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugars. The key to healthy carbohydrate consumption is to minimize consumption of the simple carbohydrates and consume more complex carbohydrates throughout the day. Combine those carbohydrate choices with lean proteins, unsaturated fats, and adequate hydration for a well-balanced diet. Continued on page 48

MerryMacs
Annual Tournament Brings Excitement The MerryMacs held their annual water volleyball tournament in May, pitting the Moonbeams against the Shining Stars. The Moonbeams included captain Astrid Pieretti, Karen Hook, Celine Stroinski and Dinda Mills. The Shining Stars were represented by captain Casey Milne, Nan Overall, Mary Hilbers and Dorothy Hamlin. The theme of the tournament was “Let’s Have Fun!” Fun when the other team is glaring at you with determined expressions? Fun when you are 10 points behind? Fun when the referee says “possible game point” for the opponents? Yes! The MerryMacs always have fun playing water volleyball.
MerryMacs, from left, Mary Hilbers, Dinda Mills, Astrid Pieretti, Casey Milne, Karen Hooks (standing), Dorothy Hamlin and Ann Diestra celebrate at the group’s annual awards luncheon. The Moonbeams won this year’s championship trophy. After six games the two teams were tied. Thus, the winning team was decided by the number of points scored. The Moonbeams were the victors and received trophies and prizes at the awards luncheon in June. Pieretti chaired this event and did a great job of
creating two evenly matched teams. Much appreciation and thanks to lifeguard Kevin McNamara, who was referee and scorekeeper. The MerryMacs continue playing during the summer and plan an activity in August. –Dinda Mills

Karate
Program Grows Under Yoshida’s Tutelage A s discussed in an earlier edition of The Winged M, in the spring of 1975, MAC’s Shotokan karate instructor, Robert Graves, left the MAC karate program. In May of 1975, after considering a number of top applicants, MAC hired Junki Chung (now Yoshida). Yoshida had made a reputation as the top heavyweight “open” tournament fighter in the Northwest during the late 1960s and early 1970s, winning his division multiple times at both the Northwest Championships and the Western States Championships. Yoshida’s primary goal was different from his predecessor. While Nishiyama, Graves’ instructor, focused himself on obtaining U.S. control of karate, Yoshida sought to develop traditional karate locally and to bring fame and recognition to the Pacific Northwest. The November 1975 Winged M included the first published photo of Yoshida with MAC students, and reported that both a beginners and advanced class already were in existence.
52 | The Wınged M |
july 2014
The cover of the April 1976 Winged M was devoted to Yoshida: a full-page photo of him doing a flying kick from a dramatic height. During 1977 and 1978, Yoshida added self defense classes to MAC’s traditional karate classes. The March 1978 Winged M contained several impressive photos of Yoshida: one had him cutting a potato on a MAC student’s bare abdomen with a samurai sword. By 1980, Yoshida had affiliated himself with Julius Thiry’s Shito-ryu Washington State Karate Association, itself affiliated with the Japan Karate-do Federation (JKF), the chief Japanese rival of the association that Graves had been affiliated with. The January Winged M discussed the first MAC tournament held under Yoshida’s authority, and contained a photo of Thiry refereeing a match. Sometime later, Yoshida, while remaining with the JKF, changed his immediate affiliation to Ryobu-kai Karate, the style of Shindo Jinen Ryu – “godly, natural style”– created by
Yasuhiro Konishi in Japan in 1933. Shindo Jinen Ryu is very similar to Shotokan, but incorporates elements of aikido and jujitsu. As part of his plan, Yoshida began to initiate MAC competition teams, and MAC students began training at his Beaverton dojo (school), as well as at MAC. The June 1980 Winged M had an article on a demonstration by Yoshida at a MAC father-son banquet, and contained photos of a blindfolded Yoshida cutting a cucumber on a reclining student’s bare abdomen, and another cutting a watermelon on a standing student’s bare torso. In 1981, Yoshida formed a second tournament team, a photo of which is in the July Winged M. The October 1981 Winged M announced the formation of a karate committee, the first since Graves’ resignation in 1975. The issue set forth their names, together with a photo. Later that year, Yoshida added both a women’s self defense class and a businessmen’s karate class.
Athletics The April 1982 cover of the Winged M was an outstanding photo of Yoshida and MAC member Brad Marineau. During that year, both Greg Specht and Marineau were promoted to green belt. By that time, the AAU had given recognition to karate as a U.S. Olympic level sport, and that year a qualifying tournament for the AAU National Championships was held at MAC. At the Nationals, both Specht and Marineau medaled. In 1983, both Mark Heyerdahl and Dennis Wanless became athletic members, and Yoshida himself became a delegate to AAU Karate and was appointed an AAU referee. In 1984, Specht and Marineau medaled as brown belts at the AAU Nationals, and Heyerdahl medaled as a black belt. Later in 1984, Marineau and Chris Davis became the first MAC members to be promoted to black belt by Yoshida. From 1984 through 1985, MAC members continued to medal at the AAU Nationals. Heyerdahl won gold in weapons kata (forms), which qualified him for MAC’s Gallery of Champions. Shawn Hancock was promoted to black belt and became a regular medalist in tournaments. The August 1985 Winged M featured Yoshida, Marineau and Specht on the cover. At the 1985 AAU Nationals, Marineau took a gold in kumite (sparring), qualifying himself for the Gallery of Champions. In June 1986, the AAU Regional Qualifier for the National Championships was held at MAC. The August Winged M contained a photo of Heyerdahl and Jay Farrell fighting each other, and also had the complete tournament results. Later in 1986, the USA Karate Federation replaced the AAU as the Governing Body for Sports Karate in the United States, and the MAC became an associate member. In January 1987, Jennifer Matsumura became the first and only MAC karate student to receive the Mel Fox Athlete of the Year Award. Winged M issues from 1988 continued to report on karate activities, with the November magazine reporting that a MAC team went to the Ryobu-kai Championships in Japan. Yoshida remained on at MAC as instructor until Wanless took over in approximately 1991. Since then Yoshida has remained the head authority in N.W. Ryubo-kai. Under Yoshida, other MAC students earned black belts in those early years, including Dave Mountain and Sue Marineau, Scott Chauncey, Phillipe Delamar and most recently Nate Asby. Truly, Yoshida established MAC Karate as a bona fide force in national karate. –Tom Levak WM
Tournaments About More than Wins and Losses Although karate tournaments are only a small piece in one’s training, they do play a role in the development of the karate student. Tournament competition is about more than just winning trophies, it is one aspect of karate training that helps develop an individual’s character. Thirty years ago one had to look high and low to participate in a karate tournament. Today there are many quality tournaments for students to participate. Tournaments sponsored by MAC Karate adhere to the bylaws of the USA National Karate Federation. Students can participate in local, state, national and international competitions. These tournaments are broken into two major categories: kata (forms) and kumite (sparring). These are further broken down into individual and team matches. Divisions range from 5 year old beginners to those in the sixties. In kata there are five Judges each with a red and blue flag. The winner is determined by having the most flags in their favor. There are no ties in kata competition. Kumite utilizes four judges and a referee. Points and penalties are awarded and the contestant with the most points at end or the first to reach eight points is the winner. In case of a tie the judges and referee determine the winner through a vote. Points are broken down into techniques worth 1, 2 or 3 points. Penalties are given for both contact and non contact fouls. Tournaments offer the karate student a number of benefits. First, tournaments let practitioners test their skills. Students spend hours in class practicing karate, developing their skills, drilling basics and forms, learning effective sparring strategies, and developing strength and flexibility. Tournaments offer a safe and positive environment for karate students to showcase their abilities and learn about what one needs to improve. Competitors receive feedback from the judges, as well as other competitors. Tournaments help one overcome your fears. One of the benefits of karate training is the ability to stay calm and clear headed in stressful or dangerous situations. Tournaments put students in a stressful situation Just ask anyone who has competed. As with any competition when you step onto that stage the adrenaline begins to flow, your heartbeat races, you feel butterflies in your stomach, much like an interview process. By participating in karate tournaments a person develops the ability to handle these stresses. With each competition, you’ll become stronger and more confident. Tournaments force students out of their comfort zone. Competition helps students stay motivated. Karate training demands repetition of techniques and a commitment of time. Unfortunately we live in a world where everything is immediate. Like everything else in our life, our level of motivation is never constant. We see this the most in children. One day they are extremely motivated future black belts, the next day they want to quit altogether. Tournaments can help keep students motivated by providing them with “mini goals” throughout their training. Once students commit to competing in a tournament, one can see a new level of drive and motivation. Techniques improve due to this new focus. And then when students do compete, they feel a tremendous amount of pride in what they have accomplished. Directly related to motivation is that once a student commits to competing they attend class more consistently, work harder and study deeper into what it takes to not just win but to be competitive and to see improvement from the time they committed to competing. In the end they become better karate practitioners Tournaments also provide students with opportunities to watch and learn from others and to see beyond the student’s dojo or training hall. In class training with the same people, over and over again and eventually they get used to the way they spar, and can start to anticipate them. Going to tournaments allows students to compete against new people that can challenge them. –Bill Plapionger WM

CoreAlign allowed her to get back quickly to her running, and she found she had improved her performance. She was so amazed, she integrated the CoreAlign system into her running program. So this isn’t just for rehab, it can serve to jump start a cardio and strength program.
Benefits of CoreAlign CoreAlign takes basic movements such as walking, running, lunging and squatting to a new level with gliding, pressing, and pushing against the pull of the carts; it balances strength and flexibility with stability and mobility; offers cardiovascular interval training; requires deep core recruitment in ideal posture; and is fun, dynamic and a fullbody workout! Clients are challenged deeply because compensations are felt quickly. It just doesn’t tolerate cheating. With the gliding carts attached to tension cords that users stand on, it encourages the deeper inner muscles to complete each movement while in ideal posture. This is difficult for even the most serious exerciser. But that’s why it works.

Swim Juniors
Swim Team Hosts Spanish Swimmers The MAC Junior Swim Team hosted eight teenage swimmers and one coach from Madrid, Spain for three weeks in April. This is the second time in three years a group of swimmers from Gredos Santiago, a consortium of schools in Spain, have visited Portland. The relationship grew from a desire to have competitive athletes experience cultural immersion and a homestay

Athletics training pool time, homestay experience, cultural sightseeing and activities with our team, MAC’s swim program couldn’t resist. The swimmers’ English was variable, so part of this delightful event was watching all of the teens find ways to communicate. Both MAC swimmers and Gredos swimmers have a passion for swimming. The pool was the perfect facilitator to help these teens connect. A bonus to the visitors’ experience was that they took part in the MAC Invitational Swim Meet. They can now say they have swum internationally! The MAC host families would say their lives have been deeply enriched by this expe-

Dorthy Kemp said of her host daughter; “We absolutely loved having Andrea join our family and we cannot wait until she can come back again. Her room will be ready.” Most of the host families continue to stay in contact with their new Spanish friends, and these are friendships that last a lifetime. “These kids and their coach have really touched our hearts,” said MAC coach Cyndy von Weller. As part of this exchange, a group of 10 MAC swimmers, von Weller and one of the swimmer’s parents headed to Madrid in June. MAC swimmers stayed in dorms in a campus setting, and had the opportunity to experience a long weekend homestay with a Spanish family from the Gredos team. In addition to training in the pool with their “sister team,” MAC teens visited sights in and around Madrid, and even practiced some of their Spanish. –Debbie Williams

Annual Eola Hills Wine Ride Expands Options Robb Rosser enjoys last year’s Eola Hills Wine Ride. This year’s ride offers a new long route, along with the customary rides.
W
hether training for an upcoming event, interested in becoming a better cyclist, or just looking for a fun ride, the MAC Cycling program has several options this month. There is the annual and popular Eola Hills Wine Ride as well as the regular Second Saturday and Wednesday Night rides. During recent rides, cyclists have been sporting the 2014 MAC kits. The committee has received good feedback on the fit and fabric of the new items, so the committee has opened a new ordering window, which closes this month. For kit ordering information and more information about the rides, visit theMAC.com
Eola Hills Wine Ride It promises to be a great year at Eola Hills on Sunday, July 22. The committee has been working to make this a most awesome event to remember. There are more route options this year, with 20-mile, 35-mile, or 55-mile options. The long route is new, and the committee is still working out the details – check theMAC.com for updates. Also, there is a more streamlined check-in/start process, options to ride with larger or smaller groups, better preparation for crossing the Buena Vista Ferry (bring your own dollar!) and, most important, a post-ride ceremony, including raffle prize drawings and other goodies! This is an awesome experience for those returning to this event, plus a great opportunity for new people and families to attend. There are many reasons the group travels to Eola Hills for this event. The scenery is spectacular, the traffic is much lighter than in the Portland area, the courses are fairly flat and carefully marked, the Sunday Brunch is terrific, and they provide a nice discount on the meal ($21.95 payable at the winery) while including two

complimentary wine/sangria coupons. In addition, MAC cyclists get club pricing on all wine purchases – a 15 percent discount by the bottle or half case. The nice folks at Eola Hills also have a designated area for MAC cyclists to mill about for the post-ride celebration. Meet at Eola Hills at 8:30 a.m. for sign-in. Quick Register CY200 (brunch and ride) Quick Register CY100 (just ride)
Wednesday night rides The rides start at 6 p.m. and alternate between group riding on Sauvie Island and hill rides that often start at the intersection of Germantown Road/Skyline. Those new to road biking are invited to the Sauvie Island ride on the first Wednesday of the month for some one-on-one coaching. The hill rides are more challenging and cyclists should be prepared for extended climbs. For those that might want to participate in the Club Championships held in August, many of the routes used for the championship are based on the Wednesday night routes. This month has five Wednesdays, so the last of the month is the coach’s choice.
Second Saturday, Rock Creek Hills The second Saturday ride on July 12 begins at the Rock Creek Tavern and takes in some challenging climbs, including those of Dorland Road and Logie Trail. This is a great ride for those training for Cycle Oregon or other adventures. Shorter options are available too. Either way, this ride offers some nice scenery and ends with a post-ride gathering at Rock Creek Tavern. Please park in the lower half of the lot and arrive by 8:45 a.m. for sign-in route review. The ride leaves promptly at 9:15 a.m. WM
Athletics Swim Continued from page 57 Brent Washburne, Nick Wood, Eric Moore, Jessica Stacy and coach Jill Marie Asch, and they played a key role in Oregon clinching the team combined second place in the regional division, beaten only by the larger team from Puget Sound. The women’s and men’s teams took home second and third, respectively, while swimming to personal bests and clocking amazing times – including 44 Oregon records, 19 zone records, and six national records during the four-day meet. Wood kicked off the weekend of fast swimming during Thursday’s distance events with Nick Wood a seventh-place finish in the grueling 400 individual medley. The first full day of competition launched Friday, and included many personal bests and the beginning of the medal haul for MAC swimmers. Both Asch and Stacy placed in the top five in all of their individual events. In the 18-24 age group, Stacy racked up four individual Oregon state records, along with one state record set with her fellow Team Oregon relay. On top of individual medals for the 45-49 group, Asch anchored two national champion relays – one with Sullivan, the other an Oregon Zone record-breaking finish. Washburne broke five MAC Masters records for the 50-54 age group and also served as an invaluable coach, taking charge of organizing relay combinations to maximize Team Oregon’s score and record-breaking opportunities. All in all, it was a successful weekend with five swimmers setting at least two MAC masters records for their age groups – Asch, Stacy, Sullivan, Von Tagen and Washburne. The culture of masters swimming was in full swing throughout the meet, from the 95-year-old competitor and former University of Oregon graduate to former and current Olympians lighting up the pool like Nathian Adrian, Josh Davis, Anthony Ervin and Matt Biondi. Coming together as Team Oregon was an experience to be remembered, and everyone finished off the season by leaving everything they had in the pool. Swimmers now look forward to the long course and open-water competition season. –Jessica Stacy Continued on page 60

Program Grows Into a Regional Force Teams were busy last spring competing in league and regional tournaments, national qualifiers and invitationals. Strong finishes by all Black teams signaled MAC is a major force to contend with at all age levels. MAC’s foundation is solid thanks to four U12 teams this year. With two of those teams focusing on recreational play, MAC continues to groom its very own home-grown players. In fact, seven of the 10 players on 16 Black began playing for MAC when they were 12 years old. Two teams, 13 and 14 Black, travel to Minneapolis to compete in the 35th Annual USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships in late June. They are the first two MAC junior volleyball teams to qualify for a national tournament in more than a decade. Look for their story in the September Winged M.

Walking and Hiking
Hikers Find Peace in Many Places What is a peaceful place? A garden? An old-growth forest? A special place on a beach? A mountain summit? A church? Is it an internal place regardless of surroundings? Is it a place found when alone, or can it be shared with others? The answer is all of the above. Peaceful places are personal. Nonetheless, the Walking and Hiking Committee is adding a selection of potentially peaceful places to visit this summer and fall.
Crystal Springs Creek Hidden within a canyon in Southeast Portland is an amazingly serene and peaceful place, Crystal Springs Creek. Join member coach Laura Foster on Tuesday, July 8 as she walks the entire creek length. Begin at the creek’s origin, Crystal Springs, high on the walls of Reed Canyon. Over the last 13 years Reed College has transformed this canyon, removing a swimming pool from the creek bed, recreating a primeval landscape, and building a fish ladder that mimics a natural Continued on page 62

This summer’s hiking outings include treks to Audubon sanctuaries and an Energy Healing event.
Hiking Continued from page 61 cascade. The result: salmon, otter, lamprey and Western pond turtles have returned. Continue downstream, following the creek through Westmoreland Park, where it recently flowed through concrete channels and a WPAera model yacht lagoon. Recent restoration has returned this landscape into the wetland it once was. From the park, walk past sites where culverts have been replaced with fishfriendly passages, and an entire home built on the creek’s banks was removed. The walk culminates at the confluence of Crystal Springs Creek and Johnson Creek. Both creeks offer wildlife an undammed path from headwaters to the ocean, and offer humans a rare glimpse of the free-flowing creeks that once coursed throughout Portland’s landscapes. Group size is limited. Register online on the walking and hiking calendar or call 503-517-7539.
Energy Healing On Tuesday, July 15, come to a unique Energy Healing Practices event, designed for walkers and hikers by Dr. Shuang Xi Yang, a.k.a. Master Xing Hai, of West Linn’s Hui Lin Temple. Held outdoors in a private setting in the West Hills overlooking Sauvie
Athletics Island, this three-hour event is a blend of practicing meditative stillness and a tai chi style of action. “Tiger Forms Cat Steps” is ideal for walkers, hikers and even runners, with its focus on walking gracefully and swiftly – like a cat – while focusing on being firmly rooted and balanced. Bring a picnic lunch and eat al fresco overlooking a frogfilled pond, or walk private trails in the woods.
Trees were planted in memory of MAC members at Audubon’s Collins Sanctuary. Dress comfortably, prepared for being outside in the sun. Shoes are optional. Activities begin promptly on site at 8:30 a.m. There is no cost to participate, but registration is required. Register online or call 503-517-7539.
Audubon Sanctuaries Portland Audubon creates sanctuaries for wildlife, which result in peaceful places for people. Fernhill Wetlands is a little-known refuge near Forest Grove and is the destination for a morning meander on Tuesday, July 22. A must-visit site for bird watchers, especially during busy winter months, it is a bit quieter during the summer. Details for participating are in the July issue of The Journey and in the online walking and hiking calendar. Audubon’s Collins Sanctuary is a special place for MAC members, as trees have been planted in memory of MAC walkers and hikers. An autumn walk here will be scheduled in the fall. Long recognized as a Portland peaceful place is the Grotto. Watch the walking and hiking schedule for a guided walk through the upper-level gardens later this year. Join MAC walkers and hikers in one or all of these outings to potentially peaceful places, or find the path to your own peaceful place. WM

Closing Thoughts Carrie Stevens, one of the first people to take Tom Hallman’s writing classes, is a remarkable writer who is able to infuse her stories with humor. Carrie is involved with many MAC programs and committees. She has always wanted to write, and found being in Tom’s class was just what she needed to accomplish her goal.
An Unexpected Connection on a Saturday night
T
he rumble of the guns from the Military Channel is echoing in the family room. Not able to face another evening of flight documentaries, I wander down the hall to my little den and find a spot on the sofa for my dog, my thoughts and a glass of wine. From across the room I hear an email alert chime on my computer; curious, I get up to see who is writing me at 10 p.m. on a Saturday. Weird – I do not know the sender. The note is regarding a sweater I sold on eBay last week. The woman thinks that the described sweater is actually azure and that she already has this particular sweater. I am taken by surprise but write back that I am sorry for any misunderstanding. I quickly type that the sweater is my daughter’s and that I had described it as best I could; a Black Label Ralph Lauren turquoise cashmere sweater, size extra small. She responded that she collects these sweaters, and knows the colors and season dates; this sweater was from a collection called Azure Sea. I reply that she can send the sweater back and I will refund her money. She wrote that I sounded like a good Mom who had made an honest mistake. I let her know that I was going to list more of these sweaters and that I would be very careful to get the right description. She typed to ask if she could call me to explain the issues with the Black Label line. I gave her my number, refilled my wine glass in anticipation of our conversation, and answered the phone. Her voice is surprisingly young but confident. She is between jobs and has a passion for shopping. I said that this could be an unhealthy relationship unless she finds another job quickly. I knew that I hit a nerve; her voice softened. The line was quiet and then she slowly said that she did not know how to stop the wanting.
We talked of her life in New York and where she saw herself fitting into the fabric of the City. She spoke about how her love of fashion began and how she knew that she had to rein in her spending. Knowing and doing are two totally different things, and New York is full of temptation for a girl with a credit card. Our smiles met over the phone. In addition to losing her job, she had broken up with her last love and had no family living near her. Her best friend was the doorman and their relationship was based on his ability to accept her packages and deliver them with a warm smile. She wanted to know why my daughter was selling her sweaters. I glanced at the photo of Elizabeth on my desk and explained that she also had a penchant for lovely things, and that she would be living out of a suitcase for the next few years and needed to trim down her belongings. We talked about how hard it is to make decisions when you have to let go of things that have been important to you or that you associate with happy memories. In the end, she decided that she wanted the sweater, but I offered to send her half off the price as a concession for the incorrect color description. She thanked me and asked if she could call me again sometime. I thought this odd, but said “of course.” I wished her well in her job search and her life. I fell back on the couch for a minute and reflected on what had just happened. A meaningful conversation had come right to my little den entirely out of the blue. I finished my wine and closed the computer. I clicked off the lights and Braille-like felt my way to the bedroom and waiting bed. My husband stirs as I climb in. I put my head on the pillow and his hand searches for my cheek. I turn to him and start to whisper about this amazingly lonely woman who reached out to me from NYC to talk at midnight about a sweater with the wrong color description. His reply was a quiet snore.

As American as a Ferrari
Something as Special as a Ferrari Knows N O BORDERS The first road-going Ferrari left the Maranello workshop under the watchful eye of Enzo in 1947, beginning what would become the most powerful brand in the world. To this day, Ferrari is the jewel of Italian culture, engineering, and art. Undoubtedly, Ferrari is an Italian institution. But America has never been far from their affections.
RON TONKIN GRAN TURISMO

Our innovation, industrious nature, and hunger for the best the world has to offer, has seen Americans own more from the ‘Cavallino Rampante’ than any other nationality. And Ferrari has paid homage to us with iconic cars named the Superamerica, Daytona, and of course, the California. This summer, during the grand opening of our state-of-theart facility in North Wilsonville, you will see both American and Italian flags flying high. It does not matter where you call home, if you are woman or man, owner or dream builder, ‘Tifosi’ or someone learning about the Scuderia for the first time, your place is here. No one is excluded. All are welcome.
