O

ver the past several weeks, some old routines seem to be slowly resuming. Not everything is as it once was, but the past year has taught us to adjust and adapt under challenging circumstances.

During the first phase of MAC’s Big Draw, the club is asking current members to propose folks whom they think would both enjoy what the club has to offer and contribute to the MAC community, even if those prospective members are relatively new to the region. The Membership Committee also has the ability to propose prospective members directly to the Board of Trustees for consideration.

Robert Torch Changes are PRESIDENT coming to the process of joining MAC’s membership waitlist, and I couldn’t be more excited about potentially opening our doors to more friends with the help of MAC’s Big Draw. This campaign, which you will see a little more about in this issue of The Winged M and on themac.com, will streamline the process to join the club’s waitlist for prospective members, and it begins this month.

Prospective waitlist candidates still have to go through the usual process of becoming a member, which includes a thorough background check, approval by the Membership Committee, and ultimate approval by the Board of Trustees. They also will be required to provide letters of recommendation from a current or former employer and a friend or other third-party, along with certain other requirements.

Prospective members who are approved will be placed at the end of the current 2020 Lottery waitlist in the order their applications are received.

I couldn’t be more excited about potentially opening our doors to more friends with the help of MAC’s Big Draw.

My neighborhood has recently welcomed three new families who moved from different parts of the U.S. and Europe, and, surprisingly, none of them had heard of MAC. In getting to know them — despite the challenges presented

by COVID — I’m certain they would be great fits for MAC. Recent outings to the Sunset Bistro and seeing all that the club and community have to offer, completely sold them on wanting to become members as soon as possible. I look forward to sharing the MAC experience with them and many others soon.

The goal of MAC’s Big Draw is to expand the MAC community by increasing the number of people on our waitlist, and I encourage all of you to reach out to friends, acquaintances, and colleagues if you feel they would be good additions to the club. The most significant change from the usual process is the removal (likely for a limited amount of time) of the requirement that MAC members in good standing must have known a prospective member for at least three years before sponsoring them as a potential new member applicant. This three-year requirement is too restrictive, especially when Portland has become such a desirable place to live in the past several years. More and more people have moved to our city, and although many of these new residents would be great additions to our MAC community, they haven’t necessarily had the opportunity to meet and befriend one or more MAC members for the requisite 36 months.

Despite a year full of unexpected changes, one thing has remained constant: the incredible MAC community. I am reminded daily of what a special place this is, and that we’re all surrounded by amazing people doing remarkable things. The perseverance displayed by members and staff in one of the most challenging years ever is beyond comprehension. Great things are happening all around us, and I remind everyone to continue to be kind, protect themselves and each other, and display patience as we reopen the club and slowly get back to normal.

S

ummer is coming! The days continue to grow longer and the sound of children playing outside in the sun is returning to our neighborhoods.

Sounds of the season can also be Charles Leverton heard around at GENERAL MANAGER the Sunset Bistro as members of our MAC community enjoy a drink, a worldclass meal, and share some much-needed laughs. Listen for Roni clinking glasses as he creates his next magic concoction and savor the marvelous smells coming from the kitchens as our culinary staff prepares the fuel of our collective memories while creating an atmosphere that is, in my opinion, one of the best in the city.

You and your collective experiences are the club’s most valued assets.

Our long march to “normalcy” continues and, daily, we continue to see more light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

This means I am now getting to meet more of you and hear your wonderful stories. There’s the legacy member, a product of a MAC romance some 60 years ago, who now is raising their children within our walls. There’s also the new family that moved to Portland five years ago — a future MAC legacy in search of new friends, activities, and, more importantly, roots to help their family build a new place to call home for generations to come. It is this tapestry of individual experiences that I am learning are the true “bricks” that built MAC. You and your collective experiences are the club’s most valued assets.

June will hold more and more opportunities for us to connect and commune. I am confident that as capacity increases you will see the elimination of reservation requirements in most key club areas including restaurants, fitness areas, and sport courts.

Of course, we will continue to allow for reservations (recommended, not required) in highly used parts of our facility to ensure those of you with tight schedules or longer travel distances are guaranteed access to your favorite programming.

We are also hopeful that we will see an increase of in-person events and begin filling our empty conference rooms and event spaces. Although we are yet unable to predict how mandates will impact our ability to gather in large numbers, we do feel cautiously optimistic that we will again be able to hold events for your most cherished life moments such as weddings, birthdays, and bar mitzvahs. Our newly promoted Director of Events Abby DenUyl and her team are ready to tackle the challenge of a post-pandemic events business with a strong focus on getting members into our club.

June also brings the re-introduction of beloved summer camps and classes. The overwhelming demand has already challenged our Athletics team to rise to the occasion and think creatively about safely getting our junior members active and building memories that will last a lifetime. Interim Athletic Director Jason Amos is most excited about MAC’s outdoor adventure camps. Specifically, the Pacific Northwest Explorer Camp, which will have our juniors hiking at Mount Hood, spelunking in hidden caves, following some of the most beautiful trails in America, and learning how to outdoor climb. For those looking to stay closer to home, there’s a Disney Ballet Camp, a fun-filled Parkour Camp, and numerous more traditional topquality sports camps.

We hope you will join us in reigniting our community by enriching lives, fostering friendships, and building upon our long storied tradition of excellence in athletics, wellness, and social programming.

In honor of Pride Month, The Winged M invited several members, and the leader of the club’s LGBTQ+ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Employee Network, to share their stories in this space. doubles. Ann played competitive tennis and basketball in high school and college, and we have just convinced her to join a MAC Tennis team.”

Both girls took advantage of swim lessons at MAC and, during COVID, Sabine joined the Novice Synchro team, which she says has been a surprising delight for her this year. “Synchro has felt really safe during COVID, and Sabine adores her teacher, Bethany, and her teammates,” Bliss reports. “The girls really miss Joe’s and look forward to it re-opening! One of our favorite features of the club under normal circumstances is that we can all do our own thing — classes, workout, etc. — and then meet up for dinner at the Sports Pub.”

Spouses Desiree Bliss and Ann Miller joined MAC four years ago when their daughters, Sabine and Harper, became more interested in sports. Now 8 and 11, respectively, both girls have found plenty to keep them engaged, bringing their moms along for the ride.

“At the club, we found some new family activities such as rock climbing, where we could all participate at different levels, and loved the welcoming staff there on the weekends,” Bliss says. “I started to play tennis and found a warm, fun, and competitive community of friends through the MAC leagues. Harper has also started to enjoy tennis at MAC, and all four of us occasionally reserve a court to play family

Miller and Bliss were married in 2007.

The former is vice president, corporate secretary, and chief ethics & compliance officer at Nike, and Bliss works as a consultant to family foundations with a focus on education. Harper is in fifth grade and Sabine is in third at Oregon Episcopal School. Bliss is a volunteer college coach for ScholarMatch and the whole family has volunteered with Oregon Food Bank, Neighborhood House, and PEAR over the years.

“Overall, we have found MAC to be welcoming, although we do occasionally get some blank stares at the front desk or have to painstakingly explain that we are a family of four,” Bliss explains. Like many organizations in Portland, there are always opportunities for improvement when it comes to diversity and inclusion!”

“Times change, and at MAC, we are changing with the times and not against them. I feel that we are on the right path, and that it is important for companies and individuals to be open to changes,” says Jeri Gaither, leader of MAC’s LGBTQ+ DEI Employee Network.

“Our diversity networks support club leadership in advancing MAC’s mission to create a more inclusive environment, where underrepresented groups can thrive and flourish. They represent a collective voice around shared interests or concerns that help to promote a more inclusive and respectful workplace.”

Gaither has worked at MAC for nine years, and has always been very open about her partner, who is now her wife. Her coworkers embrace who she is, leaving her feeling comfortable and safe. “I do know that not all employees felt as comfortable sharing about their personal relationships as I did,” she acknowledges. “I have had more than one person tell me that because of me, they did feel safe to share later on.

As DEI efforts continue, this will grow so that everyone feels MAC is a safe environment to work in.”

She adds that there’s so much to love about MAC, and particularly the people.

person, regardless of identity, has a responsibility to better understand those around them and know that there is always more you can do.”

Continued from page 9 “The members and employees really have made my time here amazing. I love that I get to communicate with all members while working in the Accounting office.

Tracy’s high school had two LGBTQ+related groups. He particularly appreciated the comfortable environment of affinity group meetings, which were a safe space only for students who were a part of the community. “Still, during high school, I never got to the point where I felt totally secure and confident with myself, so I wasn’t able to step up into a leadership role even though I always wish I had. It was a wonderful place to be with people, make friends, and have meaningful conversations without the emotional tax of having to explain yourself or your situation; people already understood and knew how to be supportive.”

We have such a diverse team of employees, which makes working so fun and easy.”

“Pride has always been such a meaningful time. It isn’t all about the parade and rainbows. Pride means a togetherness of our community, joining collectively as one.

It is time to celebrate with friends, family, and chosen family,” she explains. “I have enjoyed my time at MAC and look forward to seeing continued growth and positive changes related to diversity and inclusion.”

James Tracy is the son of Diversity Admissions Committee Chair Chris Gong, and joined MAC at a young age when his parents became members. Tracy grew up taking swimming and tennis lessons, and climbing, at the club. More recently, he’s been using the Fitness and Strength Rooms, and has found weightlifting to be a fun and stress-relieving activity ever since he learned about it during a class he took his junior year of high school.

Now age 19, Tracy graduated from Oregon Episcopal School in 2020, and has been on a pre-planned gap year since. In the fall, he’ll head to The New School, where he hopes to study subjects related to set design and film.

Assigned female at birth, Tracy says his journey to becoming who he is, and who he hopes to be, hasn’t always been easy.

However, he’s heartened by the support he’s received from family, friends, and the various communities to which he belongs.

“Like most places in Portland, I’ve almost always felt welcomed as I am at MAC, and I’ve definitely never felt that the club has been an unsafe place for me. In any space, there is a certain level of caution that a lot of young queer people can relate to, when you are around demographics who live very different experiences,” Tracy says.

“Everyone has their own experiences and is going to have a different story. I think every

The meaning of Pride Month continues to evolve for Tracy as he gets older. “I’ve had some very amazing Pride Months, but also some that weren’t so great. There was a pretty lengthy period of time where I had figured out who I was, but I was still in the closet and was nowhere near ready to come out. During that time, I felt guilty that I wasn’t brave enough to tell anyone and that I was lying to people I loved.”

Now, with more than 140 anti-trans bills in progress across the United States, Tracy points out that Pride remains as essential as it was when it began. “It’s a reminder that change is inevitable, and I think that is definitely something to celebrate.” WM

Ask the 20s/30s Committee What is the 20/30s Committee’s mission?

Grant Wiater

20s/30s Chair gwiater.chair@themac.com

COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Grant Wiater Blake Anderson Andrea Bauer Emma Paul Victoria Buck Emily Campbell Stephanie Campbell Carson Hockley Michael Lockwood Michael Lowes Riley Pendergast Maria Salazar Craig Stenberg Zoe Stasko Emily Jayne Kathryn Lovett Alex Moreland Brad Krupicka

Our mission is to enrich the social and community aspects of MAC by providing opportunities for the 20/30s community to engage with other members through events and community outreach.

What kinds of events/experiences does the committee produce for MAC? Most of our events tend to be more social-based, but we also participate in community events as well. We’ve done food and clothing drives, volunteered our time at The Children’s Book Bank, and this year we plan to host a series of dinner and learning events covering multiple topics.

How do you come up with your ideas?

Outside of our annual events, most of our ideas come from current committee members who take a special interest in a specific topic.

What are some of most popular events the committee has produced?

I’d have to say that our most popular event has been our Winter Ball, but the Afterhours Sunset Bistro gatherings that we put on during the summer months have been very popular too.

Are non-committee members welcome to submit ideas?

We welcome any and all ideas from other members of MAC’s 20/30s community. Knowing what others outside of the committee would be interested in attending allows us to make more insightful choices on what types of events we plan in the future.

What else would you like the MAC community to know about 20/30s Committee?

I’d like everyone to know that committee members are all very excited for this upcoming year. We have some fantastic ideas and we can’t wait to share these with you once the club is fully re-opened.

Defining DEI for the MAC Community

A

ny institution with a history as long and as storied as MAC’s needs to be able to evolve and align with changing societal norms. MAC has certainly come a long way from being a male-only athletic club. Continued growth in membership and athletic and social offerings are crucial to meeting the needs of current members and positioning the club as a desirable and welcoming community for prospective new members.

Part of that evolution involves a conversation around diversity, equity, and inclusion (commonly referred to as DEI).

The term is now used regularly by organizations large and small, which speaks to the need for MAC to address it in some capacity. But defining what it means, and how it comes to life for a private club like MAC, is unique. The DEI Committee has worked to develop the following narratives for each of these terms with a lens toward how the club will interpret them to align with member experiences and support MAC’s long-term success.

Diversity While diversity has commonly been associated with a single term — often race, skin color, or gender — true diversity is much broader by definition and also includes age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, among other factors. The larger Portland community is evolving rapidly within these broader terms and this trend is not expected to change. Having a diverse MAC community that honors, respects, and embraces both the ways we are different and the ways we are the same, can enrich the overall club experience. Efforts to recruit and retain diverse membership are, in fact, driven by the existing membership. We enjoy the widest range of athletic, health, and social interests of just about any private club in the country, but we know we must continue to be open to change in order to stay relevant, attractive, and welcoming. Research has shown that increasing diversity among MAC’s membership enhances the club’s image in the eyes of area residents who are also potential members.

Equity Equity translates to fair and equal access for all members, regardless of their interests, needs, and backgrounds. As humans, we must strive to value and embrace people for who they are, not what they are.

Providing equitable and welcoming access to the club’s countless activities, programs, and events has been and must continue to be one of MAC’s core values. Keeping an open mind to new ideas and listening to understand what challenges people experience can lead to changes in policies, procedures, practices, and programs that eliminate real and perceived barriers that members experience. These efforts could range from making adjustments in new membership policies to creating easier paths to participation in club programs.

An equitable environment will increase member engagement and enrich the MAC experience for all.

Inclusion Having a truly inclusive environment is the most important term when it comes to MAC’s long-term success. Providing an inclusive and inviting community enriches the lives of all members. When members and guests feel welcomed, respected, and supported, they are more likely to positively engage in the wide range of programs, activities, and events that the club offers. While MAC has a history of exclusion around ethnic and racial minorities, as well as women, it has successfully implemented structural change to better align with evolving societal norms and will continue to do so. Changes that serve to achieve greater diversity and equity are not successful without addressing inclusion. This boils down to individual member intentions and behaviors. Members of a fully inclusive community are open to directly engaging with others, sharing common interests, learning, and celebrating differences. There are no negative

differentiations based on gender, education, economics, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, or culture. The result is an enriching environment of positive lifetime experiences and learning.

The April Winged M included highlevel results of the 2020 Member Inclusion survey. The survey helped the DEI Committee gain a better understanding of current member perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion. It also helped us gain a broader perspective on areas we need to better define, and how we may approach integrating the principles of DEI into the club’s culture and programming in a way that is appropriate for MAC. As we further define this evolution, the Board of Trustees has adopted the following statement to express this commitment and aspiration:

Diversity makes us stronger and empowers excellence. MAC is committed to equity in its policies, practices, and programs. We pledge to create an inclusive environment for everyone. Embracing the full spectrum of humanity, and diversity in all its forms, aligns with our community’s core values.

As MAC continues on its path to another 130 years, we are confident the club will continue to evolve to benefit all members.

As with any journey, there are appropriate times to make changes in direction and focus. The opportunity to make these adjustments is something MAC can’t pass up if it wants to thrive in the future.

Turina Brings Energy to Board of Trustees Nonprofit consultant passionate about many aspects of MAC

W

KEENE STUDIO

hat better person to represent the range of MAC member interests than someone who’s explored nearly everything the club has to offer? If that sounds like a feat requiring superhuman amounts of energy, meet the very human new second-year trustee Mary Turina!

She replaces trustee Irma Valdez, who resigned her position last month. Valdez and her family have decided to relocate temporarily to New York City to be closer to her parents.

She also serves the community through her work with Court Appointed Special Advocates for Youth. “I have the opportunity to work for underprivileged youth as a board member for CASA. Working for kids in foster care really underscores how fortunate we are to have MAC, and the role we at MAC, and MAF, can play in the community,” she says.

A nonprofit consultant by occupation, Turina’s been a member for nine years now, and shows no signs of slowing down her commitment to the club community.

Already, she has served on the Budget & Finance Committee, is the current chair of the campus master plan ad hoc, and also brought her expertise to the Exercise and Conditioning Room remodel and lottery ad hocs.

“I have served on many nonprofit boards and committees, and I like being involved,” she says. “MAC has given so much to me.

I am honored to give back and serve as a trustee.”

Not only has Turina gotten a lot out of her membership, but she emphasizes that her whole family has benefitted. “Whether I am bringing my 92-year-old parents to dinner, enjoying tennis with my husband, boxing with my daughter, lifting with my oldest son, or participating in a mat Pilates class with my youngest son, there is something for everyone. Of course, meeting up at the Sports Pub after the workout is the best!”

While Turina seems to know a fair amount about MAC already, she says she’s looking forward to continuing her education. “I am interested in learning from members and staff about how MAC’s programming serves members now and how we can improve for the future.

How do we work, as a community, to revitalize Portland?”

Challenge is nothing new to Turina, who says she enjoys an inspiring chance to meet great expectations. “I had the opportunity to be a leader at the OHSU Foundation, working on the Phil Knight $500 million challenge-match to cure cancer. This was a chance to learn from so many people excited to build a state-of-the-art research facility in Portland.”

“MAC is an amazing place that can partner with other local organizations to help Portland recover from the impacts of COVID.”

CLUB NEWS

MAC Access Program: New Credentials FAQs Even with the MAC Access Program in its final stages, it is understandable that questions still exist about new member credentials. What follows are answers to some of the most common queries.

How much do members pay for new credentials?

There is no charge for new ID credentials. Individual accounts also receive up to two free parking credentials and family accounts receive up to three free credentials. Additional windshield parking credentials are $9 each.

Vehicles that have a metallic coating on the windshield will require a headlight RFID parking credential. To find out if a windshield has a metallic coating, members are asked to refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or research online. There is a $15 charge per headlight credential.

Members may also add an optional coded wristband that can be scanned to enter or exit the club. Each wristband costs $9.

Members will be charged $9 to replace lost or stolen credentials.

Charges related to credentials will be added to the next billing statement following the submission of the order form.

Why do all members need to order new credentials?

Following a 2017 safety and security assessment and due to ongoing concerns about unauthorized use of the club’s limited parking, MAC launched the Access Program. The purpose of the program is to improve safety and security, update and refresh the Main Entrance, improve the management of the garage parking, and enable data collection regarding club usage patterns. An additional benefit is the ability to obtain updated information for MAC’s membership database, which will greatly improve data accuracy and the club’s ability to contact members in a variety of situations.

Once all the pieces of the program are in place, members will find new security gates in the Parking Structure, at the Fourth Floor, Main, and Athletic Entrances, and at the third floor Skybridge turnstile exit point. In order to pass through, all members must have new credentials.

18 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2021

A link to the Credentials Form is available on the My Membership page at themac.com.

If member information is already in the club’s database, why is it necessary to fill out the Credentials Form?

The data from MAC’s existing system cannot be migrated into the new security system directly; added security comes from the process of requiring members to update and verify profile information.

What information will members receive with their new credentials?

Members will receive instructions on how to affix parking credentials, how to activate parking gates, and how to use new credentials to enter and exit the club. When the security gates first become operational the club will have staff and volunteers stationed at entrance points to guide members.

As these new procedures get up and running, club staff will be on hand to assist members and guests as they enter the club.

What are the credentials requirements for children?

How will guests and event attendees access the club?

Children and juniors (ages 7-17) will need their own credential to enter the club.

Parents may choose to add wristbands to their order if they feel it is a more convenient option for their children.

Members’ guests will be issued a temporary credential. Members must register guests online and will receive an email with a QR code for their guests to use to enter the club. Once registered, guests may use one of the new self-service kiosks at the Main Entrance or Fourth Floor Entrance to print a badge with the code. The QR code must be used to scan in and out of the club.

Name and date of birth for children 6 years and younger should be entered on a families’ account, but credentials will not be issued until age 7.

CLUB NEWS

Guests using the member Parking Structure must pull a parking ticket to enter the garage. The ticket can be validated at a kiosk located in the Main Entry and the Fourth Floor Entrance.

Event attendees will either pre-register for their temporary credential or will be issued their badge by their event coordinator or contact. For events that may not know in advance who will be attending, a registration desk will be established to issue badges upon arrival. Event attendees must enter through the Main Entrance.

Event attendees will be directed to use overflow or offsite parking lots, and parking fees may apply. The member garage is not available to event attendees unless the club makes a special exception for specific events.

If an event is scheduled for multiple days, will attendees be required to print a new badge each day?

No, the registration will have the full schedule, and the badges issued will enable access for the length of the event.

Are the badges unique to each event attendee, or can they be shared?

Each badge has a unique QR code; they cannot be shared. Once the unique code is used to enter, it will have to be used to exit before it will allow reentry. This feature ensures that badges are not passed to unauthorized users.

Badges may be reprinted at the kiosk if necessary.

What if a parking credential does not open the garage gate, or a member is driving an alternate vehicle, such as a rental car, without a credential?

Houser Scholarship Provides Funding and Freedom

By Laurie Harquail

Greg Houser and scholarship recipient Annika Steele in 2017.

I

t’s an age-old question asked by high school seniors: What’s next? Many times, the next step involves college, but financial limitations can pose a large obstacle to post-secondary education. Queue Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Houser Scholarship — one of several it offers to help bridge the gap of equal opportunity. In 2017, then high school senior, now college senior, Annika Steele was the recipient of the Houser Scholarship and admits that her post-high school experience would have been quite different without it.

Rooted in athletics, community involvement, and academics, this scholarship is awarded to a Lincoln High School student who represents these values while also demonstrating financial need to attend their first-choice school. For Steele, her first-choice school was Gonzaga University, but because of the University of Oregon’s more affordable, in-state tuition, she would have attended her second choice. The Houser Scholarship gave her the financial freedom to choose Gonzaga. Four years later, she’ll soon be graduating with a degree in psychology and economics, and beginning her professional journey in Madison, Wisconsin. She will be implementing life-saving software and managing projects for Epic, an innovative health system.

JUNE 2021

Since 2015, this scholarship has provided funding and freedom for students exploring higher education.

Named after Lincoln High School alumni Greg and Pete Houser, this $10,000 scholarship (renewable for two years) is awarded to an incoming college student for any field of study at their school of choice. Annika is a prime example of how scholarships can lessen financial burden and offer students a confidence boost, knowing they are encouraged to pursue their own dreams.

A confidence boost is a significant gift for anyone, especially a first generation college student. Zainab Naimi is the first person in her family to graduate from high school and to attend college. She will be attending Lewis and Clark College in Portland in the fall. Zainab is recipient of the 2021 scholarship and has the dream to become a translator. Using her personal experience of learning English as an eighth grader, along with Arabic and her native language of Farsi, she will bring a curiosity to meeting new people, growth mindset in trying new things, and natural enthusiasm to her college journey.

Whether a scholarship increases access or fuels possibilities, the acknowledgment and encouragement a scholarship provides is powerful. Donors and volunteers are part of the team that support amazing people moving towards the future and embracing their dreams. Give the gift of that confidence boost by making a contribution to one of the foundation’s scholarship programs today at MultnomahAthleticFoundation.com.

IN MEMORIAM Janet Barta

Gerald “Jerry” George Exley Jr.

Oct. 25, 1930-April 10, 2021

March 3, 1934-March 2, 2021

Janet was born Bernis Francis Repanich in Seattle in 1930 to Jack and Yerka Repanich.

She had a brother, Sam and sister, Josie.

She attended Holy Angels Academy where she was named Salutatorian.

After high school she pursued her interest in fashion design. She worked as assistant buyer for Fredric and Nelson in Seattle in the millinery department until she met the love of her life, Jerry Barta, at a Fourth of July picnic at Gravely Lake.

Gerald “Jerry” George Exley Jr. died March 2, 2021, one day before his 87th birthday, after a short battle with multiple myeloma. Jerry was loved by all who met him. His gregarious personality, genial sense of humor, and deep loyalty endeared him to many. He loved to mercilessly tease the friends of his three daughters, but it only made them laugh with joy and taught them about the life-giving power of a smile and a good joke.

She and Jerry were married in 1956 and moved to Portland, Oregon. Jerry and Janet raised four daughters and she stayed active in the Reed College Facility Wives Club, the Multnomah Athletic Club, 4H knitting and sewing, and Holy Family Church and School.

In 1969, she returned to retail as a manager of Fabrics Wholesalers. She later was a district manager for High Fashion Fabrics, where she worked until she opened her own design business, My World, where she focused primary on designing wedding gowns.

She designed and serviced more than 1,400 weddings in her career, as well as designing dresses for the Rose Festival Court.

Janet will be greatly missed by many family and friends including daughters, Joanne Barta (Don), Julie Jacobs (Doug), Joy Hunt (Gary), and Jill Rebholtz (Tom) as well as grandchildren, Annie Anderson, Russell Bauerlien, Spencer Hunt, Duncan Bauerlien, Matthew, Joe, and Patrick Rebholz and many loving nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Holy Family Catholic Church in Portland or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Jerry was born in Spokane, Washington, on March 3, 1934. A three-sport athlete, Jerry played football, basketball, and baseball at Grant High School from 1948-52.

He was an All-State receiver in football and played in the Shrine game, earning the game’s defensive player award. Papa liked to taunt his grandsons, telling them he played only one losing football game in four years. He was offered a football and baseball scholarship to OSU. His most memorable achievement was hitting three homers against University of Oregon in his final college game. He enjoyed heckling his Duck friends and proudly wore his orange and black hoping to initiate some witty banter. After college, Jerry played professionally with the LA Dodger farm club, the Eugene Emeralds.

Jerry was a Phi Delta Theta at OSU, where he met his lifelong love, Donna Goode, a 1954 Rose Festival princess and KKG. After a whirlwind romance, they married and immediately moved to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, where Jerry served as a U.S. Army Lieutenant. Soon after they returned to the Pacific Northwest to start their family. Jerry was a vice president at Benjamin Franklin Savings & Loan, followed by Quest Investment. He refereed basketball for 20 years.

His daughters, Laurie, Lisa, and Julie kept him on his toes as he learned to charismatically navigate a household of girls. He taught them how to win and lose gracefully, got them started early in tennis, and took them on yearly spring break skiing trips to McCall, Idaho.

In 2010, Jerry lost his wife, Donna, but their 64 years together were unforgettable.

Jerry, ever the optimist, spent his last years enjoying his lake cabin in the Gorge. The

grandkids loved his jolly laughs, his teasing, and his Pitch skills. He was a golf marshal at Skamania Lodge. Jerry was also a daily presence at MAC, where he’d make sure to greet friends and make new ones. He was a fixture at the Growler Guys near his waterfront condo, and yes, everyone did “know his name.”

Jerry is survived by his children Laurie (Neil) Lomax, Lisa Exley, and Julie (Richard) Fewel; seven grandchildren, Nick (Melissa) Lomax, Ali (Kyle) Ratoza, Jack Lomax, Mitch Lomax, Stuart Fewel, Marissa Fewel, and Brett Baumann; four great-grandchildren, Josephine, Cecilia, Camden Lomax, and Theodore Ratoza.

Jerry’s family hopes to continually celebrate his life with those who knew him.

Jerry is not a guy one forgets easily. He liked people, and knew many. He’d love to know you are having a beer in his honor!

The Jerry Exley Athletic Scholarship has been set up in his memory at Grant High School.

John R. Cooper May 14, 1932-March 29, 2021 John “Jack” Cooper passed away in the presence of loved ones on March 29 after a fall at his home in Portland. He was 88.

John was born in a taxicab in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, to Irene and Reginald Cooper. In 1937, the family moved to England and remained there throughout World War II. In 1946, the Coopers returned to North America aboard a Norwegian steamer.

The family settled in Toronto before moving to Corning, New York. In 1954, John received a B.A. from the University at Albany. He served in the U.S. Army and then entered Yale University, earning an M.A. in 1957 and a Ph.D. in 1962.

John began his teaching career at the University of Chicago, where he published his first book, The Art of the Compleat Angler.

He met and married Patricia Jones, and their son, Matthew, was born. The family then moved to Portland, where John taught at Reed College and daughter, Jennifer, was born. In 1970 he joined the English faculty at PSU. The Coopers divorced, and John later married Terry Ann Rohe, a PSU librarian.

Continued from page 27 John’s sense of humor and wit were loved by his family and friends. He could bring a smile to anyone’s face. His teaching concentrated on poetry, comedy, and Shakespeare. He was particularly interested in rhythm and meter in poetry and spoke at an international conference on those subjects in Germany in 1998. His book Wit’s Voices: Intonation in SeventeenthCentury English Poetry, was published in 2009.

During his career at Portland State, John served as head of the English Department, president of the Faculty Senate, and president of the Inter-Institutional Faculty Senate for the Oregon University System.

He received the George Hoffmann Award for Faculty Excellence in 1997 and retired in 1999.

John was an active hiker, cross-country skier, and runner. He volunteered as a speaker for the Oregon Food Bank and drove for Meals on Wheels. He was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, the Elizabethan Society of Yale, and the Ferdinand Society. He was also a member of the Retirement Association of PSU, which recognized him with the Outstanding Retired Faculty Award in 2007.

He exercised and lifted weights three or four mornings a week at MAC before the pandemic. He attributed his long life to keeping active. He also loved dining in 1891 and the Sports Pub. He was always curious and interested in ideas, people, and places, and he and Terry traveled extensively throughout the world.

John is survived by his wife, Terry; his son, Matthew and daughter-in law, Minnie; his daughter, Jenna; granddaughter, Samantha; extended family; and a host of friends. His brother, George, predeceased him.

Donations in his memory may be made to the Oregon Food Bank. A small memorial service was held at Grace Memorial Episcopal Church. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Larry Crepeaux

MESSAGES Douglas Lovett Our Dad has always been a jokester, adding levity at all the right moments. He loves taking his family hiking in the Willamette Valley, often with fresh cheese and refreshing wine tucked away to finish off the day. Love of good food and the great outdoors was something he imparted upon us. He has always modeled professionalism and dedication — working long hours every year to make it through tax season. However, even at the height of tax season, he would always make time for us, regularly spoiling us with homemade Sunday omelets. Thank you Dad for everything you do.

—Kathryn and Peter Lovett

Scott Cohn For as long as I can remember, my dad has always been there for me. I started running in third grade, and he taught me how to be a better runner, but more importantly, a better person.

He coached my brother’s Little League baseball team to be Division Champions, and he also helped coach the Lincoln High School Boy’s Racquetball team to a State Championship in 2012. He loves to help others be the best they can be. He works very hard, but is always there for me and my brother. He is not just a Dad and a coach, he is my best friend too.

—Carson Cohn

My husband, Larry Crepeaux, is our rock and our foundation. True testament to this is that our adult kids still seek out his opinion and advice. He is passionate about his family. He’s seen at every one of our kids’ basketball games, volleyball games, fencing tournaments, plays, band performance — you name it! He helped build theater sets at school, was a Boy Scout troop leader, and assisted with end-ofyear school Field Day. Recently, he helped family and elderly friends get appointments for the vaccine when they had issues signing up. Larry is creative (he’s a mean Halloween costume designer!), a lover of life, and a kind and loving man. Happy Father’s Day today and every day!

—Lisette Crepeaux This year especially you’ve been a rock for me, I feel closer to you than I ever have and I’m so thankful that you’ve unconditionally been there for me and supported me in the hard parts of life. I don’t know what our family would do without you; you take care of so much. You are an amazing father. There aren’t adequate words to tell you how much I appreciate you, but thank you for everything you do. I love you so much, happy Father’s Day! —Bella Crepeaux My Dad is a problem solver of the highest order.

Just as handy with a pen as with a drill or a hammer, he’s my sounding board for everything, and truly a kind and gentle soul in a world where men aren’t always told to be so. I wish to thank him for passing those values on to us. I know that I’ll never know all the small things he’s done to care for me — love you for everything, Dad. —Alexandre Crepeaux My Dad always pushes me to be my best and has nothing but care and love for our whole family. He never fails to cook the best dinners or come up with the coolest ideas. I don’t know where I would be without a dad like him.

—Sebastian Crepeaux My dad is one of the most giving people I know. I love spending time with him and he just always knows how to lift my spirits. He never fails to cheer me up.

I love him to death. Sometimes, my hugs might actually be a little too tight, but he just hugs me tight back. I love you, Dad —Francesca Crepeaux

Light, crisp flavors blow into Sunset Bistro

arm, white sun filters down through a green canopy. A glass of rosé orbits a bowl bursting with the edible confetti of shrimp ceviche — mango, red onions, fresh corn, and cilantro. This moment in the open air is everything, but you can’t help but smell the garlic of the bouillabaisse that awaits.

At a nearby table, house-made ice cream slowly melts, and fresh strawberries brighten up crunchy shortcakes in elevated takes on dessert classics. Caramel pretzel cake, perfectly crystalized créme brûlée, and a vegan coconut tapioca look impossibly rich.

“Some of these things you can’t make at home,” Chef Phil Oswalt says in his typical laid-back fashion. Seafood needs to be fresher than fresh. Long-simmering sauces and artisanal after-meal delights require undivided attention. The cocktails bubbling and smoking out of the cabana make use of equipment apparently from another planet.

These are sights, sounds, and smells intended to coax members forth from their burrows. “After being locked up for a year, members are ready to get back to some of their favorite dishes and experiences. Plus, we all have the COVID-19 weight to lose,” Oswalt says, smiling and patting his belly. Light fare, full of omega-3s, is designed to keep minds sharp, and energy levels high, as they re-enter the world.

But if you need to take the edge off, don’t worry. Roni Pervizi abides. His City of Roses cocktail cools with the botanicals of Empress gin. The Ilegal Vespera re-contextualizes Lillet Rosé with the white pepper of the titular mezcal joven. Salted Amarena cherries bring the Smoke & Mirrors back to Earth, swirling with Aperol and Evan Williams below a precariously balanced crystal ball of flavorful vapor. “This one’s specifically designed to help people leave their bubbles,” Pervizi pronounces.

Come on in. The weather at Sunset Bistro is fine.

There’s a Member-Made App for That Club entrepreneurs create life solutions digitally during COVID

By Jake Ten Pas

I

t’s tempting to look at 2020 as a “lost year.” Due to COVID, roughly threequarters of it was spent either in full-on lockdown or, at least, with drastically reduced access to life as many previously knew it. “Work hard, play hard” became “work safe, play safer.”

It might not have been the year the world wanted, but to call 2020 “lost” ignores all that was found. Some discovered their shared humanity in the caring gestures of neighbors or bonding with strangers over mutual loss. Others surprised themselves with their own ability to adapt to new communication tools, ways of working, and definitions of playing.

42 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2021

For those with a great idea, and the resources and business sense to execute it, 2020 provided an unprecedented pause that allowed them to pursue it. For a few MAC members, family and friends inspired them to chase passion projects or clarified for them why they were inspired in the first place. As befits a year in which meetings, get-togethers, and just about everything else went virtual, these intrepid entrepreneurs created new ways of feeling connected that are only a smartphone away.

Making the Wondergrade One is never too young to practice mindfulness.

Members Kristi and John Coppa have learned this firsthand, and hope to put the fruits of their discovery – and hard work – into the hands of other parents who might be going through what they were two years ago.

Their oldest daughter, Ellie, age 5 at the time, had just convinced the architect of MAC’s Lego clubhouse to add additional décor in honor of Independence Day, and was interviewed for a spotlight in The Winged M. While she handled the questions with aplomb, in private she was going through a difficult period of adjustment.

“Ellie was starting to show a lot of anxiety and struggling with emotional regulation. She had started a yoga class in her preschool when she was about 3, and it had a huge impact on her. It really helped regulate her,” Kristi recalls. “I did yoga myself and meditated in my own practice, but watching her, so young, actually be able to engage and see how helpful it was, I was really shocked. So, I ended up getting trained and certified as a kids yoga mindfulness teacher and started teaching classes at preschools.”

The practice helped Ellie, but the work continued.

When, less than a year after her Faces of MAC story ran, schools and everything else shut down due to COVID, her journey was far from over. Meanwhile, her parents had been planning an app based on the yoga classes Kristi was teaching. With kindergarten going online only, and Ellie’s therapy stopping, the groundwork they’d laid began to lend itself to new possibilities they were just discovering.

“All of a sudden, we took on the roles of therapist, teachers, and more,” Kristi says, adding that she realized other parents were likely finding themselves in the same situation, and their planned app suddenly expanded in scope. “We started pivoting to, ‘How do we empower parents to teach this stuff at home?’ because that’s really what they need right now. Everyone was feeling that they didn’t have any resources available, and we had these skills and these videos that we had made that were really, really effective at helping teach kids how to calm down. With John’s skillset of app development, we could give parents some of these tools to use with their kids in a way that worked essentially during a pandemic.”

Continued from page 43 Formerly employed by Nike, John found himself laid off shortly after the start of the shutdown, with plenty of his creativity and design expertise to spare. Combined with Kristi’s penchant for project planning, and writing and refining copy to ensure it reaches the right age groups, their app, now called Wondergrade, was well on its way.

“We decided to do it as a family. It’s both of our fulltime jobs now,” Kristi says. “Our kids should be on the payroll because we run absolutely every activity by them.

I’ve made a lot of changes after practicing with them. I’ll have something that I think is just awesome, and then I do it with Ellie or Olivia and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, never mind.

That doesn’t work.’”

John created a big, friendly, aquamarine mascot for the company that demonstrates physical actions for kids, and Kristi says even its movements were refined based on their children’s feedback. “He would actually film Olivia doing things and then apply that body motion to the character.

We really wanted kids to feel successful when they watch our content, so we didn’t want a movement that an adult could easily do, but a kid physically couldn’t do.”

Movements and activities include practicing “Butterfly Breath,” “Squeezing Lemons” to release pent-up emotions or energy, giving worries to an elephant, and making rainbows with their bodies to replicate yoga postures.

The idea, according to Kristi, is to give kids concepts that are short and easy enough to practice for fun, so that when their moods are less sunny, the self-prescribed remedies come as second nature. “We’re trying to set parents and kids up for success, where they have these fun things that they can do when they’re happy, when they’re calm, that don’t feel like punishment. We talk a lot about changing the name ­­— they’re currently called “Calm Down Tools — because that phrase, “calm down,” kind of feels negative to a lot of kids.

“When everything is going well, you’re not necessarily thinking about learning these skills. It’s when your kid is

44 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2021

completely melting down that you try, and so it’s kind of this negative cycle we get into as parents,” Kristi explains. To help with this, parents can set up reminders within the app to encourage them to practice in more optimal times. “We hope to empower parents and kids to break that cycle. When kids are in distress, their brains can’t process information, and it just becomes this really frustrating thing.”

Further, this doesn’t just apply to kids. “It’s really funny to me, how many parents have told me that they have been using the tools for themselves!” Kristi reports. “I have a friend who said, when her kids are gone, she sometimes uses the little bedtime meditations to fall asleep.

“It’s been really cool to hear how it’s changing a lot of these family cultures by adding these ideas and allowing people to talk about mental health. When we give our kids tools to deal with anxiety, stress, worry, and difficult emotions, we are opening up conversations and giving them permission to have them. Then, kids think, ‘Oh, maybe it’s okay that I feel really worried, or I’m struggling with this, or have knots in the stomach.’ It’s encouraging families to change perceptions around mental health, which is going on a lot right now.”

Mike Westlund As for Ellie, “Right now, she’s doing really well. I would say she’s thriving,” Kristi says. “The transition to COVID was hard on all of us, and then the transition back into school was also really difficult. We’ve had to be really intentional about setting up those routines around what she needs in order to feel safe, the language we use, and how we can bring these tools into another day.”

Laughing, she recounts a recent experience that shows the ripple effects that can be caused by kids feeling properly equipped. “At the park, someone was talking about playing bad guys and good guys, and I overheard her say, ‘Nobody’s a bad guy. It’s just that some people have had a hard time, or don’t have the tools to know how to be kind.’”

Absolutely Fabulist If people prioritizing taking care of themselves and their loved ones has been a major theme of the pandemic, another big one has been planning to reconvene with everyone outside of a given quarantine bubble when the time is right. With roughly a third of the United States, and rising, having been vaccinated, many are turning their attentions to resuming the social outings and group vacations that can make life so much sweeter.

As usual, there’s an app for that.

To be fair, Fabulist — the brainchild of MAC member Mike Westlund, his brother Ken, and their partner, Ashley Todd — is so much more than a way to plan a trip with some of your long-lost best friends, or even just your family, but the example serves as a great point of entry into its carefully considered functionality.

“If you really look at the apps that we have available to us right now, most of the productivity solutions for consumers are built with the individual in mind, like, ‘I’m going to be productive. It’s my to-do list, my notes, my organization.’,” Mike says. “I get the Apple Notes app or I can have the Microsoft To-Do List, and I’ve got my calendar, which is a different thing, and I’ve got my email, and I’ve got my chat, and they’re all separated. Consumers don’t really, at this stage of the game, have a solution that combines all of these productivity mechanisms in a way that is really simple and usable by your average person, but built to be used with other people in groups.

“Slack did that and showed the way. People at the time were like, ‘They’ve got a great design. The website is really nice. Their marketing is great.’ But it’s more than that. We think it is the group mechanism that created the ability to draw in many people.”

Continued from page 45 Following that notion, Westlund and company set to work designing an app that could increase productivity and collaboration in a group setting and off-the clock.

They wanted to create an all-in-one mobile platform that would allow family and friends to message in real time while assigning tasks to different members and enabling the posting of vital information, for instance vaccination cards. In short, the best of all worlds was their goal, and Westlund feels like they’ve come very near the mark.

“It was a massive design and technical challenge to say, ‘We’re going to take four or five different apps, we’re going to squeeze them down into one, we’re going to give it to consumers, and we expect them to actually use it.’ It needs to be familiar, it can’t be confusing, and it has to be easier than other things that they’d use,” he explains.

“I think it’s exactly what people are looking for in the middle of COVID, when we’re all sitting at home and struggling to figure out ways to work together. Those of us lucky enough to stay home all had to reorient our

46 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2021

lives completely, suddenly working remotely and using tools like Zoom.”

If that sounds like Westlund angling for the business market, he says that if people enjoy his app and find it useful, maybe they’ll find a way to incorporate it into their jobs. But for the time being, he is entirely focused on getting it into the hands of as many users as possible, and asking, “How

can we help people simplify their lives and be more productive with the people in their lives?”

As many still dream of their first proper, post-COVID vacation, the example of easily planning a group holiday pops back up. “So, you want to travel somewhere, whether it’s a camping trip or going to Hawaii or Europe.

You have to have car rentals and flights and

hotels, even if you’re just coordinating this with one other family, never mind doing it within your own family. Putting that all on a calendar and inviting everybody, sharing all the pertinent information, and chatting when immediate input is required, can be challenging. But in the app, everybody centers their events in one group, all of that is immediately available to everybody in the group. I can see where their hotel is, et cetera. It’s so much less complicated.

“I imagine trying to do all of that in Facebook’s event interface on a mobile application might not be optimal,” he opines.

As Westlund walks through his app’s functionality, he uses several different chats within his own family groups as ready examples. Like the Coppas, his wife and kids have been game to play along, helping him to refine his offerings before making them public.

“Now that it’s live and works, they’re really starting to enjoy it. My daughter is actually wondering how she can get on-board to promote it now that we’re at that stage. There’s a general sense of excitement in the family to roll it out and be a part of it.”

Westlund also says he hopes to hear from fellow MAC members that they’re using the app, and what they think about it. “When I think of MAC, I think of a pillar of the community that brings people together.

“We’re really trying to build community.

Your family is a small community, but your community is bigger than that. It’s all the people in your life that you do things with.

It’s shocking when you really start to think of all the different ways you try to coordinate with people in the world. That’s what we’re trying to facilitate. It’s really hard with email. It’s really hard with text messages.

These are transactional. They’re just packets of communication. They don’t facilitate collaboration and productivity the way we’re trying to do.” WM To find out more about these apps, go to wondergrade.com and fabulist.app, or download either from the App Store or GooglePlay.

Recovery Techniques T

he past year has thrown most people off their routines. We’ve gone from set fitness schedules and work commutes to, in many cases, being at home all day, most every day. Now that vaccinations are ramping up and summer is around the corner, there’s a renewed focus on fitness goals. Even for those who maintained some degree of exercising over the past 14 months, chances are that springtime routine changes have left some with a few sore muscles.

MAC Wellness has recovery options to match members’ new fitness challenges.

Hyperice Tools Hyperice tools provide percussion therapy, a type of focused pulsating pressure, which can help reduce soreness and stiffness, accelerate warm up and recovery, and improve range of motion and flexibility. MAC’s Hyperice tools include the Hypervolt, a massage gun, the Hypersphere, similar in size to a softball, and the Viper, a 12-inch foam roller. They each offer three speeds, and the Hypervolt also has different heads to attach for both focused and general work. Members can check them out to use, for no cost, from the Fitness Room entry desk.

Massage

MAC Massage continues to not only support members in their recovery, but also helps them unwind through COVID risk-level changes. Stress creates physical tension in the body. Whether it’s strain from a training program or holding tension in the body from mental strain, massage can help get things moving. Most workouts form adhesions in the body that massage can improve through mobilizing joints and muscles. Massage promotes elasticity and flexibility, which lessens the chances of injury and improves recovery time. Additionally, a recent study showed that massage reduces cytokines, which cause inflammation, and stimulates the

production of mitochondria that convert glucose into energy and is necessary for cell function and muscle repair. Ready to relax? Book an appointment at themac.com knowing MAC Massage will safely take care of you.

Although the materials used have changed over the centuries, cupping therapy still draws from its origins in ancient Chinese medicine. MAC’s licensed massage therapists (LMTs), Susannah Skye and Andrea Trautwein, use modern silicone cups, which are applied to oiled skin with suction. The experienced LMTs slide a cup over the surface of the body focusing on areas where there is more resistance, which indicates adhesions — bands of scar tissue.

Cupping can be used to help decrease recovery time after strenuous training and also helps to reduce inflammation in the body. Those who regularly receive the therapy can expect an improvement in their blood flow, which benefits the immune system and is recommended in tandem with massage.

Compression Sleeves MAC is pleased to offer a new and high-tech way to faster recovery time.

Created by a physician bioengineer, the Normatec line of compression sleeves combine dynamic air compression with a patented Pulse massage pattern that employs three key techniques — pulsing, distal release, and gradients. Studies show use of the sleeve can help relieve muscle aches and/or pain, temporarily increase circulation resulting in increased flexibility and range of motion, help prevent injury, and accelerate recovery time. The cost to use Normatec equipment is $20 per 30 minutes, and is available for check out at the Fitness Room entry desk.

Have you heard the recommendation to “eat five a day?” Eating more fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of chronic disease and contributes to living a longer and healthier life. Does it matter exactly which fruits and vegetables you choose to fill these five?

A study just published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation looked at data from nearly 2 million adults, some tracked for as long as 30 years, to answer this question. Here’s what they found: • Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables per day was associated with the lowest risk of death.

• Eating more than five was not associated with any additional health benefit.

• Not all foods that people consider to be fruits and vegetables offered the same benefits.

• Foods that did not reduce the risk of death or chronic disease were starchy vegetables, peas, potatoes, corn, and fruit juices

• Foods that did reduce the risk of death or chronic disease were green leafy vegetables, carrots, citrus, and berries • The perfect mix of five was two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables per day.

I love this type of research because it validates what most of us already know, and what I recommend to all my patients.: Don’t count corn and potatoes as vegetables! Load up on greens, such as spinach, kale, collards, and broccoli.

Snack on fruit that has a more balancing effect on blood sugars — pears, green apples, blueberries, and raspberries.

I believe that no single diet is best for every person. Family history, predispositions, unique biochemistry, and current ailments should all be considered. But, I also think eating healthy doesn’t need to be complicated, nor do I think the next fad diet offers anything different than what we already know. So eat your daily five!

Normally, our land practices consist mainly of endurance, strength, and flexibility training, but we all know life has been far from “normal.” So, we added some synchro flare to our training with choreographed workouts to music and our fair share of dance battles in the member garage. Our ambitious athletes even swam in an outdoor pool during the dead of winter. Although our practices were out of the ordinary, we still managed to train more than 1,000 hours.

One highlight of the season’s many highlights was Master swimmer Jeanine Cavagnaro winning the 2021 Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award. Also, virtual competitions were a first and our athletes were given a chance to showcase their talent, hard work, and custom swimsuits — made with hundreds of hand-sewn rhinestones and sequins. Most wonderfully, though, we had the privilege of sharing our sport with MAC legend Bud Lewis, who at 100 years old, expressed his admiration of the beauty and grit of artistic swimming by trying it with us!

We are incredibly grateful for our 50 dedicated swimmers and families that have continually supported us in the most trying of times, even as “fish out of water.” Being back in our comfort zone at the West Pool is an unexplainable feeling and, as coaches, watching our athletes light up and laugh together in the pool is the world’s best view.

Coaches Corner Playing Tennis Outside: Tips and Tricks GETTY IMAGES

Tennis players in the Pacific Northwest are spoiled. Most of the year the game is played indoors in perfect conditions with no sun, wind, or any other elements to cause distractions and difficulties. Now, with nicer weather and longer days, it is important for players to be prepared for the shift to outdoor tennis. Here are a few things to consider before making the move outside:

In the Bag • A hat keeps the hot summer sun off a player’s face and beaming onto their head, which helps conserve energy.

• Sunglasses can help players who are very distracted by the sun. Tennis-specific sunglasses, designed to show the optic yellow color of the tennis ball more crisply, are available at many tennis shops.

• Lip balm provides an easy solution to distractions such as dry, cracked lips.

• Sunscreen should always be tossed in one’s bag or applied before leaving for the courts. For those who don’t like lotion on their hands, sunscreen spray is available.

• A towel in one’s bag will come in handy on particularly hot, sweat-producing days.

• An ice towel is a great option for players who despise the heat. Cooling towels are a great option to help regulate body temperature on extremely hot days.

• Water is a no-brainer. If there is no water fountain or it is out of order it will be a long, uncomfortable day on the court.

And those who become dehydrated may pay a price for the rest of the day as well.

• An extra racquet can be particularly useful as outdoor tennis courts have more

dirt and grit. These little particles can get in between strings and cause breakage. Be prepared with a backup racquet just in case.

• Overgrips help absorb sweat and provide for a firm grip throughout a match.

The Elements • Sun: Hats and sunglasses can help, but moving to get the body into a different position is a good idea too. Learning to adjust the ball toss can help when serving into the sun. Don’t be afraid to try something to help eliminate the issue.

Outdoor Committee Planting Activity Seeds The Outdoor Activities Program (OAP) Committee has been like Johnny Appleseed planting fun adventures, learning experiences, and community-building opportunities.

It began with spring Zoom programs featuring U.S. Outdoor, Columbia Sportswear, and Tualatin River Keepers and continues with kayaking and boating outings in Portland, events on Mt. Hood, and even scuba diving options. And, as usual, the Outdoor department has put together an array of wonderful summer camps for kids.

All MAC members are invited to tell OAP the kinds of activities they’d like to see, for what ages, what time of year, and even what days of the week work best.

Send ideas to outdoor@themac.com or to committee chair Sue Rimkeit, srimkeit@comcast.net.

ATHLETICS • Morning and evening sun: When the sun is lower in the sky it can be difficult to pick the ball up quickly, especially as the net player. A step back may allow for more time to adjust for the lighting; remember there is more room at your feet when playing back a little.

• Pace: Artificial lighting gives the ball the appearance of traveling faster. An outdoor game is slower, so be ready for more balls to come back and for longer points. Don’t be afraid to try for that extra ball. It is amazing how outdoor balls seem more within reach than the same ball indoors.

• Shadows: Mornings and evenings can cause bad shadows on the court making it difficult to track the ball. Know the tricky areas of light-to-dark on the court and be ready to concentrate more on the ball.

Looking for the seam on the rotation can help.

• Wind: Windy conditions require tennis players to focus more on mental effort as opposed to great performance when striking the ball. Playing in the wind can be a frustrating experience, but it is important to remember, all players are experiencing the same thing. The player willing to take more little steps to adjust to the windblown ball will likely come out on top.

• Distractions: Outdoor courts traditionally have more distractions, especially in local parks. People talking loudly, kids playing, dogs barking, and kites flying overhead are just a few examples. Focus and concentration are required to stay present in the match.

• Backdrops: Many outdoor public courts do not have windscreens or backdrops. There are times balls can get “lost” in the background for a moment, making it difficult to track the ball. Focusing even more on the ball during the point can keep this from occurring too often.

• Clear skies: When a player is lobbed indoors, the roof of the building serves as a backdrop and provides perception for depth and height. When playing outside on a clear day there is no such backdrop. On cloud-free days, players need to focus even more on the timing of the overhead.

•Court surface: Outdoor courts are more prone to cracking than indoor courts due to rain and water causing ground shift. Know where the cracks are, and be prepared to adjust accordingly when the ball hits one.

Golf Committee Partners with Pumpkin Ridge MAC families can take advantage of exclusive benefits ADAM WICKHAM

The MAC Golf Committee is committed to creating new benefits and programs for MAC golfers and providing camaraderie through golf and non-golf events.

To that end, the committee is pleased to announce a new partnership with Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club at Ghost Creek.

MAC families now have access to the exclusive benefits of the Creek Card, which allows booking early tee times, reduced green fees, and discounts on merchandise in the pro shop and on food at Ghost Creek. Additionally, Pumpkin Ridge pros are available to help to organize clinics for adults and juniors, and are able to test new clubs at Demo Days. MAC members can get a card at Ghost Creek by showing their club ID and filling out an application.

“The sporting traditions of excellence at MAC and Pumpkin Ridge are on par,” says Golf Committee Chairman Darin Vick. “We think it is a great match, and we are excited to offer MAC members access to the best golf has to offer in the Portland area.”

“We are excited about the new direction for the MAC Golf Committee and community,” says committee member Larry Van Laningham. “We have set a plan in place to make the Golf Committee a valuable asset to the MAC community. Golf has gained tremendous popularity this past year, and

Additionally, MAC’s annual Golf Scramble is scheduled for a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 13 at Ghost Creek at Pumpkin Ridge. Members and guests are welcome. The cost is $125 per player and includes green fees, a cart, range balls, two drink tickets, and a sampler plate for each foursome afterward. GOLF001

having access to the best facility in the region is a great benefit to members.”

For more details on the Creek Card and upcoming golf events, email golf@themac. com. Information will also be posted on the MAC Golf Facebook page.

Tip of the Month: Practice Like You Play Improvement doesn’t happen through osmosis. You actually have to put in work in order to make major, or minor, adjustments to your game. This means setting aside some committed time to practice. I often suggest to my students “practice like you play.” In other words, don’t hit a bunch of balls with one club and grind through a bucket. After you warm up with some swings, start off on the first tee with your driver. If it doesn’t go well, take a mulligan. Then, play your second shot, select a fairway wood, a hybrid, or an iron. Try to make it realistic. Play nine or 18 holes mentally on a course you know by changing targets with each shot. You might actually find you enjoy practicing.
