Treece and LamberT Timeless architecture…Quality construction

"It’s apparent when you show a Treece and Lambert home that they’ve put a lot of time and effort into planning out the flow of the home with a modern lifestyle in mind. The homes are designed for entertaining and day to day living ease. The construction is high quality. I trust that after the transaction is closed, any necessary follow up will be taken care of in a timely and professional manner. I’m a fan of Treece & Lambert. I always look forward to the completion of their latest project."

— Alicia Selliken, Broker/Owner M Realty LLC

"as a residential real estate agent in the Portland area, I get to look at a lot of houses. For a lot of clients. It was for my pickiest client that I stumbled onto a Treece and Lambert home. That picky client was me and my family! I have seen many new construction homes and have represented buyers and sellers alike for new and completely remodeled homes. Treece and Lambert did not cut any corners. The home exudes quality and attention to detail. In a market with limited inventory, it was a refreshing change to see a builder do everything right, even when they didn't have to. We are looking forward to years of great memories in our new home!"

ast month, third graders at Ainsworth Elementary School were given an assignment to write and present a threeminute speech. The topic was “My favorite place in Portland.”

Eight of the children, including my son, Darcy Henderson president chose MAC as their subject. Initially, I was disconcerted, concerned that as a parent I hadn’t adequately shown him everything Portland has to offer. However, as I read the students’ speeches, I realized how wonderful it was that these 8- and 9-year-olds were excited to articulate the community and athletic opportunities offered by the club.

Their comments included, “It has basketball, tennis, restaurants, water sports, and more.” “I like to exercise with my friends there.” “They have many sports there.” “The MAC is an awesome place for kids, friends and family. I love MAC.” I grew up in the club. I learned to swim in the 50-meter Pool, competed on the gymnastics team in the 1970s, and my first date was to a MAC Junior Dance. Then I grew up, went away to college, and lived on the other side of the country for many years. I continued my membership as a nonresident and enjoyed coming home to visit Portland and MAC, where I would swim laps sideby-side with my mom and have lunch in the Men’s Bar with my dad. Eventually, I moved back to Portland, grateful to have retained my membership.

As a non-native Oregonian, my husband, Mike Urness, found his own community at the club and has been running with the same group of friends for nearly 15 years. Our children now enjoy many of the same activities I did – although dates and junior dances are still in the future! On the other end of the spectrum, my mom was a lifelong lap swimmer and competitive tennis player, and while dad preferred outdoor pursuits, his social vitality was cemented on MAC tennis courts and in the restaurants. Thanks to physical and social fitness, they lived long, healthy lives.

Dad passed away at age 96. I still see their peers at the club, including Bill Rosenfeld, who turns 97 in June, and comes to the club

nearly every day to exercise, dine and socialize. He is as sharp as a tack and fit as a fiddle, having played tennis well into his 80s and, until a year ago, cycling 25 miles a week.

This is not to say you have to be a lifelong MAC member to appreciate the club. On the contrary! The club is nothing like what it was 50 years ago – it constantly evolves to meet the changing needs of individuals and families at every age. In 50 years I have seen many expansions of the club facilities: a rock wall, a pool with a movable floor, the Spin Studio, Child Care and play school facilities, a dedicated Gymnastics Arena, more sport courts, and on and on. Not to mention the addition of competitive and recreational fitness programs (from aquatics to Zumba) and a roster of educational and social events for all ages that expands year after year. The vastness of the MAC can be overwhelming to new members – my advice to them is to ask, ask, ask. Like the third-graders, members and staff are always happy to tell you about their favorite part of the club.

At this point in my life, I am focused on what the club offers now, for my family. But I also know that as my children grow and leave home, I will continue to benefit from the MAC community and athletics, hopefully staying as fit as my parents did. This club is not just for kids or families or young adults or retired people. It is a club for everyone, at every phase of life.

To quote one third-grader, “The MAC is an awesome place to go.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

State of the club If you attended the Annual Meeting in February, you heard outgoing President Carl Burnham’s comprehensive review of the club’s 2013 improvements and achievements, and what we expect to accomplish in 2014. You can read his remarks on page 50. Also at the meeting, outgoing Treasurer Craig Iverson outlined the club’s financial condition, which is stronger than ever. Burnham, Iverson, outgoing Vice President Jim Cleary, and outgoing Secretary Gwen Farnham devoted immeasurable time and passion to the club during their three years on the Board of Trustees. Their efforts laid the foundation for 2014; the current board is committed to continuing and building on their work. WM

have one of the best jobs in Portland. I enjoy working with and for 21,000 members, many of these members I can call my friends. The amount of camaraderie among members and staff is amazing and meaningful to everyone. Our Norm Rich club is vibrant, and its General Manager 610,000 square feet serves a population the size of a medium Oregon city. Your club has existed for 123 years – 100 years in our current location – and maintains a cordial and supportive relationship with our Goose Hollow neighbors. I cannot think of a better location to serve our membership nor a better place to call our home.

Although some of our neighbors have been critical of our attempts to solve some pressing parking issues for our members, their guests and the neighborhood at large, I am proud of our forward thinking. We have an overall demand that is much higher than capacity.

If MAC was being built today, we would be required by city code to have more than 1,800 parking spots; we have 533. Through acquisitions that will become ours exclusively in 2020, we will have 81 additional parking places on 20th Place. We are proposing an additional 225 spaces on Block 7 once city approvals have been granted. We strongly believe the additional 306 spots, plus the 533 existing spaces, should improve the parking situation greatly and take pressure off neighborhood streets.

We have been advised by two parking and traffic mitigation firms based in Portland that our plan is sound and improves livability throughout the neighborhood. MAC and its development partner are investing land and large capital expenditures to make the situation better. We are resolved in our thinking and reassured that professional consultants agree with our plan. When completed, we hope our neighbors will agree that some very positive things have come out of our hard work and respectable debate.

MAC and I personally have received some shots in the press and in neighborhood meetings. While I believe that member and neighborhood engagement is helpful, there can also be a time when too much of a good thing does not always produce perfect harmony. Compromise is the heart of every good negotiation. The club and the developer have agreed to build an underground tunnel

to service the connection between our two structures and to reduce entrances within the new structure. The change is expensive, but was the right solution to address our neighbors’ concerns and promotes compromise.

There is alarm among some of our neighbors that the club is adding parking so we can add to our membership in the future. I want to state unequivocally that we have no plans to add to the membership at this time or in the foreseeable future. I never want to say never, but as we plan our future, we are concentrating on servicing the members we have, not additional future members. Those new members come into the club solely through attrition of the current membership in an organized, self-enforced, target headcount.

I hope you will take the opportunity to support the club through public testimony at future hearings or a written statement in support of the project. If for some reason you do not want to support the project, we are happy to review your statements and testimony. We know the opposing side also will be taking testimony, and everyone will be given the opportunity to state their point of view. You can send me your opinion at nrich@themac.com.

Staff SHINES on Recently, my wife, Valerie, and I took a Delta flight east to see our son, Max. As I entered the plane, I saw an acknowledgement (advertisement) saying that Delta Airlines had earned a Forbes Best Place to Work Award. In 1982, Delta employees bought the airline its first Boeing 767 aircraft and named it the Spirit of Delta to thank Delta for being a great employer. When this purchase was announced, I was astonished and thought it was a great partnership between employer and employee. In the ensuing years, the relationship between Delta employees and management was not so good due to recessions, slowdowns and airline mergers.

I believe that repairing these defects in the employer/employee relationship was healthy and meaningful and made Delta a great place to work.

Speaking of great service, over the past few months we have begun a program called SHINE. It is a joint venture between staff and management to improve staff friendliness and to offer excellent service as much as possible. We have had positive member and staff reaction to the program, which was first introduced in the Sports Pub. We recently kicked off the program among the red shirts in the Exercise and Conditioning area. Please let us know how we are doing. WM march 2013

France’s Finest Chefs Descend on Sin City

M

AC Executive Chef Philippe Boulot is trekking to balmy Las Vegas in March to attend an exclusive gathering of the world’s masters of French cuisine.

The General Assembly of French Master Chefs, now in its 59th year, takes place each spring across the globe, but 2014 marks the first time the weeklong event is held in the United States.

As the only French Master Chef in the entire Pacific Northwest, MAC’s own James Beard Award-winning chef represents not only his own proud culinary tradition, but all of Oregon.

The exclusive title of French Master Chef is an honor given only to the top French chefs in the the world.

The organization’s motto is “to preserve and spread the French culinary arts, encourage training in cuisine, and assist professional development.”

Maîtres Cuisiniers de France are often given the highest classification in restaurant guides and are regularly mentioned in the world’s leading food and travel magazines.

The event is open to the public, with an all-inclusive ticket price of $50. Tickets are available from the The Venetian or The Palazzo box office by calling 866-641-7469 or online at Venetian.com. WM

ADMINISTRATIVE the future of block 7

MAC and Mill Creek Residential Plan for Apartments and Parking

I

n January of this year, Mill Creek Residential Trust filed for an application to change the zoning to eventually build an apartment complex on the parcel of Multnomah Athletic Club-owned property known as Block 7. The application is a major step in the club’s efforts to develop property MAC has been acquiring since the mid 1950s while also improving the club’s parking issue.

“The club is simply trading land for underground parking,” says MAC General Manager Norm Rich. The project is an agreement between Mill Creek Residential Trust and the club that will net MAC two levels of underground parking and 14 to 16 short-stay apartments in exchange for the land.

The decision to file the application is the result of a process that started more than two years ago, when MAC considered what to finally do with Block 7, located just south of the club’s Parking Garage, and how to address a growing parking issue.

While the total club membership has remained stable for almost two decades, parking pressure has increased in recent years.

The club even reduced catered events to help improve parking. Several studies indicate the primary reason for the increased parking pressure was that members were simply using the club more often.

The club has worked for several years to mitigate parking issues. When light rail was built, MAC paid for the Goose Hollow station to encourage member usage of mass transit. MAC subsidizes member and staff TriMet tickets, posts a weekly parking map, encourages mass transit use to members and catering clients, and regularly promotes alternative transportation in The Winged M, the club’s magazine.

Facing increased parking pressure, the next obvious step was to see what opportunities lay with Block 7. The land is zoned for high density residential, and a high-rise apartment complex would be allowed and in keeping with a promise the club made to the neighborhood to only develop the land for residential use. The club decided that there could be an opportunity to get parking for the club and finally develop the club-owned land that had become a green space subsidized by the club.

The club started soliciting RFIs a couple of years ago and Mill Creek Residential offered the best opportunity. Shortly after Mill Creek Residential Trust filed for the application, The Winged M sat down with

22 | The Wınged M |

march 2013

Rich and Mill Creek Managing Director Sam Rodriguez to get more details on the project.

What is planned for the Block 7 property?

Rodriguez – We are planning to build about 260 apartments with resident parking on the lower levels. Under the residential parking will be the MAC parking, which will be entirely underground and basically invisible.

Where did the club get the Block 7 property?

Rich – The club started acquiring this property in 1955 and the last parcel was purchased in the mid 1990s. They are currently individual lots the club is paying property taxes on.

When did the club announce the project?

Rich – MAC announced the idea of the project nearly two years ago. Although the club wasn’t certain of the final outcome, as soon as we started the process we announced it to the members and the neighborhood.

Who is paying for the project?

Rodriguez – There are few out-of-pocket costs to the club. Except a tunnel, which is being split between Mill Creek and MAC, Mill Creek is paying for all the predevelopment costs and the construction.

Rich – The bottom line is we are trading land for parking and short-stay apartments.

Rodriguez – We are building 14 to16 short-stay apartments for the club that will be owned and managed by the club.

How often have you talked with the Goose Hollow neighborhood?

Rodriguez – Norm and I, as representatives of MAC and Mill Creek, have met with the neighborhood 14 times. We have been completely transparent and informed them what we were doing, thinking and proposing and planning.

How will this project impact the Goose Hollow neighborhood?

Rodriguez – We are reducing member impact by putting member’s cars underground. A traffic study of the neighborhood by an independent firm said the new parking will improve traffic circulation and parking for the neighborhood. As many of the club’s

neighbors know, at certain times during peak use hours, which are usually peak commute hours, members are directed away from the club’s garage to other parking areas because there is not enough parking in the structure.

In many cases, members park on the street if they can.

Rich – We plan on building a tunnel from the club’s parking structure to the new parking area and the only way it will be accessible is through the existing club parking structure.

These new spaces are also the club’s opportunity to increase handicap parking, charging stations for electrical vehicles and maybe even some larger spaces.

Does this project include adding more memberships?

Rich – No. The club has a cap and runs very successful within that cap.

Before this project what did the club do to improve parking?

Rich – MAC has addressed the parking pressure in numerous ways: reducing catered

ADMINISTRATIVE

events; promoting mass transit and alternative transportation; subsidizing mass transit; and we built a bike cage, which we expect to increase in size when the project is completed.

The club even restriped the club’s garage to increase the number of spaces and keep member cars off the neighborhood streets.

This project is an appropriate development of MAC’s Block 7 as well as a way to increase member parking and minimize member vehicle impact to the neighborhood.

notice to the neighborhood and a presentation in front of a hearings officer.

The hearings officer then takes the feedback from those for and against the project, and makes a recommendation to Portland City Council for a final decision.

The hearings are open to the public and a great time for members to voice their opinions. Once the city has made their decision, there is a 21 day appeal period.

Is the project ready to be built?

Rodriguez – When the rezoning is complete, we begin the design and design review process. A city commission does the design review. The design and design review takes another nine months before construction begins. The construction would begin about mid 2015, and take about two years.

Rodriguez – No. The permit is part of a rezoning process. The land is currently zoned for high density residential. In order to incorporate the club’s underground parking, the property needs to be rezoned for commercial. The process we are in now is to get that zoning changed.

So when will construction begin?

How long does the process take?

Does Mill Creek Residential have other projects in the area?

Rodriguez – The process includes the rezoning application, followed by a posting

Rodriguez – Yes. Mill Creek Residential is familiar with the Portland area and has

Apartment building concept proposed for Block 7.

several projects underway, including three in Northwest, one off Jefferson and one in Tualatin. All are designed for LEED certification. We are a national company focused on creating value for residents, associates and communities.

Is there anything else?

Rodriguez – The Block 7 project is a good fit for the neighborhood and Portland. It is close to bus and light rail lines, the city core, and keeps with the neighborhood’s current environment as a diverse, densely populated urban neighborhood.

Rich –We truly believe this project is a win for all parties – the city, the neighborhood, the club. This is a great project and we want to encourage MAC member to step forward during the open hearings and support this project. WM

Carlos M. deCastro Dec. 7, 1964 - Dec. 26, 2013 Senior member Carlos M. deCastro, beloved son, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Dec. 26, of complications related to his cancer.

He was 49.

Carlos will be missed by all who knew him. He was born with a joyful spirit and was always happy and had a positive attitude. He had a generous heart that was well known to us all.

Carlos is survived by his father, Enrique; siblings, Roberto (Susanna), Enrique Jr. and Elisa (Mitch) Hornecker; nieces; and nephews, who all loved him.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Alma.

Thomas P. Guerin March 19, 1942 - Jan. 11, 2014 Nonresident member Thomas P. Guerin of Larchmont, N.Y., died Jan. 11. He was 71. He is survived by his wife and daughter.

William George Lowry Feb. 2, 1942 - Jan. 17, 2014 Senior family preferred member William George Lowry passed away on January 17, 2014, surrounded in love by his wife and family.

He was 71.

Bill was born on Feb. 2, 1942, in El Paso, Texas, to William George Lowry, Sr. and Ruth Hawkins Lowry Olsen. When he was a child, Bill’s family moved to and made their home in Portland. Bill attended Lincoln High School, where he was an accomplished athlete and student. He played on the baseball, basketball, and football teams.

Bill graduated from Lincoln in 1960. At that time he had a choice to become a minor league baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies or to serve his country. He chose to enter the U.S. Marine Corps. After basic training at Camp Pendleton, Calif., he served tours of duty in the Pacific, including the Philippines.

While in service from 1961 to 1963, he was awarded a medal for good conduct, and received an M-14 rifle expert badge. In 1965, in Portland, he married Carol Ann Goss.

Bill worked at the Jones Stevedoring Co. for the bulk of his career, where he was a superintendent, and later at Marine Terminals Corporation.

In 1996, Bill suffered a major stroke. From that time on, MAC, where he had a membership since 1980, became a second home for Bill. He spent several days a week there doing physical therapy, swimming and spending time with friends and staff. He also loved events like the Prime Rib and Crab Dinner, attending Timbers games, playing in the occasional poker night, and attending the Super Bowl parties. You also might find Bill at The -M-porium, which was one of his favorite places to buy presents for his family.

Over the course of his life, Bill had many passions, which included bird hunting, golf, enjoying many kinds of music (particularly the blues), dogs, good food, good friends, family, and especially his grandchildren. Through his journey, Bill always maintained his incredible sense of humor and ability to make people laugh.

Bill is survived by his wife of 48 years, Carol Lowry, his son, Patrick Lowry, (wife Rachel Norstrand), daughters Lisa Lowry Pierce, (husband John Pierce) and Katie Lowry, (partner Madeline Woods), as well as his grandchildren Carly Pierce and Rowen Pierce, and his brother, Bruce Lowry.

Contributions may be made in Bill’s name to the OHSU Stroke Center.

John C. McGuire May 6, 1920 - Dec. 21, 2013 Senior member John C. McGuire, founder of McGuire Furniture, died peacefully at his home in Portland, on Dec. 21, with his beloved daughter, Jean, holding his hand. He was 93.

John was born in St. Augustine, Fla., on May 6, 1920. With his mother, Jessie Clark McGuire, and his brother, Bill, he spent his childhood in the Boston suburb of Hingham, Mass. He graduated from Hingham High School and attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. His education was interrupted by the bombing of Pearl Harbor. John enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was sent to flight school at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., where he advanced to train new pilots. There he met Elinor Stevenson, a navigation instructor and the first assistant to the commander of training.

John and Elinor fell in love, beginning their extraordinary lifetime partnership.

Following the end of World War II, John retired from the U.S. Navy and began working for Standard Vacuum Oil in the Far East.

John returned to the United States and married Elinor at her family home in Portland in 1947. John and Elinor settled in San Francisco.

John initially found work selling ads for the San Francisco Examiner, where he fortuitously ran into Dwayne White, a friend from the Navy. Dwayne had a warehouse full of rattan furniture he could not sell. John sold

the furniture for him and wanted to order more, but Dwayne declined.

During his tenure with Standard Oil in the Philippines, John met Dona Maria Aboitiz, the matriarch of the prominent Aboitiz Co., who was making rattan furniture for her own use. John saw the potential of rattan, and in 1948, contacted Dona Maria, who agreed to produce rattan furniture he would design and sell. The McGuire Furniture Company was born.

Today, Josephine Booth, the daughter of Dona Maria, with her son, Robert Booth, still supply furniture to the McGuire Furniture Co. They became an extended part of the McGuire family.

In 1995, the Philippine government honored John with an award for his leadership in developing the rattan furniture industry in the country. John was the innovator and promoter. Elinor was the accountant and business manager, and had design and engineering experience with Boeing Aircraft. Together, these two entrepreneurs designed furniture for the company. With their patented invention of applying rawhide to bind the rattan and the introduction of color to the rattan, they created the most uniquely designed and fashionable rattan furniture on the market.

The McGuire collection grew over the years to include the use of different materials including willow, redwood, teak, special bamboos and Oriental hardwood. With their keen sense of style and design excellence, John and Elinor created furniture that appeared in many of the finest residences, resorts, hotels, clubs, restaurants and even in the Nixon White House and yacht. Town & Country magazine would write, “A McGuire in the drawing room is on par with a Rolls in the garage.” Some of the first McGuire designs are now part of the permanent Smithsonian Collection at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York City.

John and Elinor were leaders in the area of employee relations. John possessed a keen interest in others, as was shown to a new young employee, Frank Doodha. He befriended and mentored this 15-year-old boy who, under his guidance and friendship, became president of the McGuire Co. after it was sold to Chicago Pacific in 1986 and John and Elinor retired.

The company is now owned by the Kohler Co. From their first years together, John and Elinor traveled the world promoting their furniture. John met thousands of people during his life and reign as chairman and CEO of the McGuire Co. Many became cherished friends.

In their retirement, they continued to travel and visit friends all over the United States, London, Munich, Paris, Milan, Rome, Hong Kong and, of course, the Philippines. John was a man who was vibrant and fun, and who had Continued on page 26 march 2013

Walter H. Pendergrass Jan. 26, 1925 - Dec. 26, 2013 Senior family preferred member Walter H. Pendergrass passed away peacefully with family at his side on Thursday, Dec. 26. He was 88.

He was born in Portland, on Jan. 26, 1925, the eldest of the three children of Victor V. and Lorraine (Hinson) Pendergrass. He graduated from Washington High School in 1942 and began studies at Stanford University.

When he turned 18, he joined the U.S. Navy, becoming a commissioned officer and serving on a mine sweeper in the Pacific. After World War II, he returned to Stanford to finish his undergraduate studies and attend Stanford Law School, where he married fellow studentPhyllis Sutherland.

After graduating in 1950, he came home to Portland and joined the law firm founded by his father, Pendergrass, Spackman and Bullivant, practicing primarily in the areas of wills and trusts and representing small businesses. He became a partner in 1957 and later was managing partner for many years.

He and Phyllis had three children, Jim, Anne and Jane. Walter loved to backpack in the Cascades and fly fish Oregon’s rivers.

Fishing the Metolius was a particular favorite.

ADMINISTRATIVE He summited Mount Hood several times and for many years made an annual backpack trip into the Jefferson Wilderness. Active in the Boy Scouts in his youth, he became involved again after returning to Portland and was the scoutmaster of son Jim’s Troop 64.

Walter was also a member of the Board of Visitors of Stanford Law School in the late 1960s, chaired the Probate Committee of the Oregon State Bar (1973-74) and was a Fellow with the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. He chaired the Stanford Alumni Association of Oregon for a term and chaired the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission for more than a decade. He was proud of his work making Oregon’s highways a safer place.

He and Phyllis divorced in 1970 and in 1971, he married Jeanne Labadie Lowell and helped raise her four children as if they were his own. He and Jeanne sang for many years in the MelloMacs at MAC, where he also was an active Early Bird for decades. For many years, they owned a house in Manzanita, where he was a two-term City Councilor.

Cell Phone Use Requires Common Sense, Courtesy Because of an increasing number of member complaints regarding cell phone use, a Club Rules reminder is in order. The club’s cell phone-use policy relies on the common sense and courtesy of club members and their guests.

Cell phone conversations are only allowed in the following areas: Main Lobby, Cornerstone Lounge (outside the Sports Pub), Exercise and Conditioning Gallery, all hallways, any telephone bank, and the Stadium Terrace (except when there is a spectator event in Providence Park).

• Members or guests receiving cell phone calls in a restricted area must move to one of the areas listed to continue the conversation.

• Cell phones must be off or in silent mode, and conversations must be continued in an allowed area.

• Members should show common courtesy to those around them by conversing in low tones.

A cell phone-use brochure available at the Concierge Desk and all entrances includes a map identifying the areas where cell phone conversations are permitted. Cell phone conversations are not allowed in any other part of the clubhouse. For example, cell phone conversations in the E & C Room or locker rooms are restricted to the telephone banks in those areas or a nearby hallway. Staff can help members and guests locate the designated areas.

Cell phone conversations are prohibited in the Reading Lounge and on the Stadium Terrace when spectator events are occurring in the stadium. Members and guests in those areas may step into the lobby to make or receive calls. Calls are not allowed in any of the club’s restaurants, and if members observe

Club Rules prohibit photography of individuals in the club without their permission. In today’s environment, it is easy to snap photos on a mobile device to share with friends or post on social media sites.

This seemingly innocent act may pose problems if the photo shows members without their knowledge or consent. Members may be disciplined by the House Committee for violating this rule.

Because most mobile phones are equipped with cameras for still and video photography, their use is prohibited in locker rooms, except in the phone bank areas. Members and guests expect and deserve their privacy to be protected when they visit the MAC to work out, compete and socialize.

Members should notify a nearby employee or the manager on duty if they are disturbed by cell phone conversations in areas not designated in the policy or notice other violations of these rules.

Juniors: Do Not Sneak Guests Into Club A number of junior members have recently been cited for sneaking nonmembers into the club. Juniors may not introduce guests, so helping friends get into the club is a violation of Club Rules with a minimum sanction of two months suspension. Allowing a nonmember to use a MAC membership card or membership number carries a minimum six-month suspension.

What may seem like a harmless prank can turn into a very costly lesson. Parents are encouraged to talk to their junior-age children about the responsibilities of membership and the consequences of breaking the rules. In addition to suspension, a reinstatement fee of at least $100 is required to restore club privileges after suspension. The incident remains on the child’s record and is considered if the House Committee investigates any future infractions.

An adult member may sponsor guests younger than 18, but must stay with the guest at all times in the club. Parents who bring in their junior and a young guest will be disciplined for leaving the children unaccompanied.

Contact the manager on duty for more information or to report guest policy violations. WM

MAC’s Top Talent Shines at Street Fair

M

AC has talent. That’s obvious, but let’s delve deeper.

The club is loaded with talented people: athletes, singers, musicians, artists, dancers and more. While groups like the MelloMacs and Balladeers stress singing skills, a wealth of other talented people go unnoticed by many.

With this in mind, the MelloMacs proudly announce their sponsorship of the MAC’s Got Talent show, which coincides with the Annual Street Fair from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, June 25.

Members of all ages can apply to be in MAC’s Got Talent. Applications are available in the Member Events department and online beginning Friday, March 14. The deadline to submit is Thursday, May 1, and auditions follow, if necessary in June.

So, do you have a talent? If your talent is musical, perhaps the MelloMacs would be a good fit for you. All MelloMac rehearsals are open to MAC senior members. The group meets Monday nights at 7 p.m. in the third floor activities room. The MelloMacs hope to see you there, and also hope you participate in MAC’s Got Talent at the Annual Street Fair in June.

Two Great Chances to hear the MAC Balladeers The new year brought more changes for the Balladeers, as new director Scott Tuomi introduced new music to be readied for the upcoming concerts.

“Now that I’ve had a chance to work with the group, I’ve introduced new music based on my observation of the group and also of other men’s choirs I conduct. I want the music to challenge the men, appealing to them while being attainable and helping to develop the group’s musical skills,” said Tuomi, who took over the ensemble last fall.

Tuomi hopes to have at least some of the new pieces ready for the group’s two marquee spring performances, Brothers Sing On at the University of Portland on Sunday, March 2 at 3 p.m., and the free Roger Doyle Memorial Concert at MAC on Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m.

New numbers include Swing Down, Chariot, Lydia the Tattooed Lady, Tshotsholoza (a South African piece), Manly Men (in the tradition of the Balladeers theme song, Oh Lord, It’s Hard to be Humble), and Shenandoah (OK, a different arrangement than before).

Evening Readers Tackle Epic Luminaries The Evening Literary Readers began on The Luminaries, an epic novel by Eleanor Catton which, in the end, is a love story that takes 800-plus pages to arrive. There is a mystery to unravel. Readers discuss this book during the March and April meetings.

Set on the southern coast of New Zealand in the gold rush town of Hokitika in 1866, Catton works at least 12 “luminaries” into the novel.

Wa l t e r M o o d y arrives aboard the Godspeed and wends his way to the Crown Hotel, where 12 local men have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events.

E a c h c h a p t e r, expertly written, ends with a cliffhanger, begging the reader to begin the next.

With an exotic cast whose lives affect one another and intricately entwine their fates, the question is, is it worth it to spend so much time with a story?

Catton’s novel is about what happens to us when we read novels – specifically historical fiction.

At 28 years old, Eleanor Catton is the youngest person to win Britain’s Man Booker prize. She acknowledged that The Luminaries “was a publisher’s nightmare.” To some it was a reviewer’s nightmare also, yet most were awed by the scope and impressed with this extraordinary writer.

Please take time to read this novel, then join the evening readers on Tuesday evening March 25, 2014 at 7 p.m. in one of the private dining rooms.

Culture and Style

Intriguing Artwork and Oregon Symphony It’s beautiful! It’s impressive! It’s important! Will it look good above the couch?

Selecting artwork has its challenges.

Jennifer Zika, of the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery, knows the difficulties it can pose.

She helps guide patrons though the serendipity and the practicality of decisionmaking when it comes to art, and on Wednesday, March 19, speaks to MAC members at the monthly Culture and Style luncheon.

The Rental Sales Gallery is a treasure trove of some 2,000 high-quality original works of art, all by Oregon and southwest Washington artists, and all available for rent or purchase. Works from the gallery are on display in private homes, corporate offices and elsewhere throughout the state, and at Mahonia Hall, the governor’s mansion in Salem. A close look at television shows and movies filmed in Oregon also reveals art from the gallery.

At the luncheon, Zika talks about the many items featured at the Rental Sales Gallery, the opportunity it offers to artists and art lovers, how pieces are selected, and how to choose a beautifully impressive, important piece for above the couch, and elsewhere.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The presentation is from noon-1 p.m. Register online at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7265. The luncheon is $24 per member and $26 per guest.

Discover the history behind Portland’s – and the world’s – iconic bridges during a Listen and Learn lecture on March 26.

Continued from page 36 Kalmar serves concurrently as artistic director of the Spanish Radio/Television Orchestra in Madrid and is a regular guest conductor with major orchestras in the United States, Europe and Asia, and recently made his subscription series debut with three of America’s most prestigious orchestras: those of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.

In April, he makes time to visit MAC to share a behindthe-scenes look at the Oregon Symphony and insights gleaned from his tenure with the orchestra.

Kalmar was born in Uruguay to Austrian parents and lives in Portland. He showed an early interest in music and began violin studies at age 6. By the time he was 15, his musical promise compelled his family to return to Austria so he could study conducting with Karl Osterreicher at the Vienna Academy of Music.

Before coming to Portland, he served as music director for the Hamburg Symphony, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, and the Anhaltisches Theater in Dessau, Germany.

Kalmar visits MAC for a Culture and Style luncheon on Wednesday, April 2.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The presentation is from noon-1 p.m. This luncheon is $24 per member and $26 per guest. Register online at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7265.

Aging, Bridges and the New Cuba The Listen and Learn lecture series features speakers each month on a variety of topics. Lectures cost $5 for members and $7 for guests, and require advance registration.

Counterclockwise: Growing Younger from the Inside Out Wednesday, March 18, 6:30-8 p.m.

Everyone has more control over how they age than they think. Good genes account for maybe 30 percent of the equation. The choices you make about how you live matter far more. In this presentation, award-winning author and self-styled guinea pig journalist Lauren Kessler demystifies the world of anti-aging, separating science from wishful thinking and real hope from pure hype.

Bridgestories: A Storytelling Slide Show Wednesday, March 26, 6:30-8 p.m.

Portland and Vancouver, Wash., are home to the three primary types of standard and movable bridges. Included in this real-world museum of big river bridges are the oldest operating vertical lift bridge in the country, the longest tied arch bridge in North America, and a double-decker unlike any other. Many of these bridges were designed by the most famous late-19th and early-20th century bridge engineers in the country. In this presentation, Sharon Wood Wortman and Ed Wortman show off unusual bridges around the world before returning to the Portland region for a closer look at the bridges of home. The Wortmans are the authors of The Portland Bridge Book, and a new book coming out in early 2014, The Big & Awesome Bridges of Portland & Vancouver: A Book for Young Readers & Their Teachers.

Activities Microdermabrasion: The Start Have you dreamed of a bright radiant complexion infused with light? Has repetitive sun exposure, inflammatory reactions and hormonal disorders left their imprint on your skin?

Irregularities on your complexion can be helped with Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is a process that eliminates dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin. The process is gentle, noninvasive and over time, it can help restore the “glow” to your skin.

Microdermabrasion is accompanied by a relaxing massage and finished with a mask. At Faces Unlimited, we dovetail our Microdermabrasion treatment with our famous signature facials. Our theory: Microdermabrasion is the start to regaining the translucency that is the province of youthful skin – Call us for a consult.

MACorps

MLK Cleanup a Great Success Three dozen volunteers braved the cold to make a real difference in the Goose Hollow neighborhood on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Volunteers formed enthusiastic groups, many of them multigenerational and all goodnatured. Judging by the chatter of those gathered in the lobby afterwards over coffee and hot chocolate, the MACorps Volunteers had a really great time.

The MLK Jr. Cleanup event was a wonderful opportunity for neighbors and members to join together in the tradition of community service. There were Goose Hollow residents, students fulfilling community service requirements, and perhaps most important of all, individual MAC members who responded to the invitation to be part of a tangible project. Volunteers collected 38 bags of garbage totaling 375 pounds.

The MACorps Volunteers are open to any members interested in service to the club and community. It’s easy to get involved in MACorps – just log on to the club’s website at theMAC.com and click on the My Membership tab. Select My Groups, and then “MACorps Volunteers.” Members on the list receive periodic emails about volunteer opportunities that may be of interest to them.

TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN

Year in Review

President’s Report

Outgoing President Carl Burnham III.

Presented by President Carl Burnham III at the 123rd Annual Meeting, Feb. 11, 2014

I

am excited to report 2013 was another banner year for MAC. Members overall are happy with the club, usage is up in all areas, and we continue to improve our facilities. However, as famous philosopher Yogi Berra once said: “Just try and get better!”

In 2013, the Athletic Committee and staff implemented the Athletic Excellence Survey.

This annual survey allows members to evaluate sport activities and staff effectiveness in order to increase member satisfaction in our sports programs.

We also implemented a Staff Performance and Talent Management Plan to develop leadership skills, increase operating efficiencies, improve customer service, and plan for upcoming staff retirements.

Did you know the club has 591 rooms and more than 1,000 pieces of equipment? This past year, the facilities department implemented a computerized management system to improve facilities operations, reduce costs and equipment down time, and better manage construction projects.

Speaking of construction projects, this year’s include the remodel of the main kitchen, Grand Ballroom, MACtinis and an expanded Junior Weight Room. We are also doing major repairs to our 50-meter Pool.

March 2014

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”

Planning for the future is a hallmark of MAC. Several committees are currently reviewing how we can better use our existing space and best use the new properties we acquired on Southwest 21st Avenue. The committees must prioritize the long lists of member needs and wants, and balance these against expected costs.

“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

Did any of us ever imagine that we would have to make reservations to eat in the Men’s Bar! Or that you would have to push and shove to get into a Zumba class? Member usage continues to grow every year. Members are requesting more group exercises classes, and more are being added again this year. While crowded classes and a full parking lot are frustrating at times, these are signs of a very healthy club – problems most clubs dream about!

To help reduce the frustrations, design work is underway to relocate some offices to provide expanded space for functional training and to add more studio space, specifically for the popular yoga and Pilates classes. New spaces will be designed to be flexible to adapt to changing needs.

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

2013 • Year in Review

Vicki Tagliafico, standing, congratulates new officers, from left, Vice President Dwight Terry, President Darcy Henderson, Secretary David DeBlasio and Treasurer Ann Blume.

Prior MAC members bought Block 7 as an investment for the club’s future. Being good stewards of our assets, we are obligated to use the investment to address our No. 1 problem, parking.

“It’s like déjà-vu, all over again.”

Although we encourage and support the use of alternative transportation options to MAC, the No. 1 member complaint in 2013 was again parking.

The club is partnering with a developer to build an apartment building on Block 7 that includes underground parking for MAC members.

The garage is connected to our existing garage with a tunnel.

Once finished, the club will have 225 additional parking stalls and 16 overnight short-stay apartments. This added parking may allow us to expand disabled parking, provide some wider spaces, plus add outlets for electric vehicles. The formal construction application has been filed with the city. With any luck, construction can begin in a about a year.

To do this, we need a zone change. MAC generally agreed with the neighborhood and city many years ago to use Block 7 for high density housing. That is how it’s zoned today. We could build a several-story apartment building on the lot right now that would provide no parking for the apartments’ residents. The only reason we need a zone change is to allow for the 225 underground parking spots for MAC members.

We will need the active support of MAC members to counteract a very vocal minority of residents who stand in opposition of the Block 7 development.

Another reoccurring issue is the need to improve club communications. The club’s new website is about to launch, as publicized in this month’s Winged M. Expect improved search functionality, improved calendar capabilities, and enhanced court and program registration. The site will continue to be upgraded over the next year, and there is a place on the site for you to share your thoughts and suggestions.

On the topic of technology, getting into the club is simple, but we continue to explore better ways to maintain security and reduce the hassle for members and guests. We are currently reviewing a system that allows members to use their smartphones in lieu of a membership card.

“I wish I had an answer to that because I’m tired of answering the question.”

Members will always speculate why dues go up. I can tell you that our annual construction projects do not increase our dues. I also can tell you we have no debt. Dues increases are primarily caused by increased labor costs, rising insurance premiums, taxes and the costs of complying with local, state and federal regulations. MAC currently employs about 550 people, equaling about 300 full-time employees. This is about the same number of full-time staff we have had for the past 10 years. In that same time period, usage Continued on page 52

McAlpin Award Julie Branford, pictured with outgoing Vice President Jim Cleary, was given the 2014 McAplin Award during the Annual Meeting. The award recognizes one member’s volunteer leadership and consistent service to support the club’s social offerings. Branford became involved in social committees in 2008 as a member of the Holiday Decorating Committee, and went on to chair it the following two years.

She also has served on the House and Human Resources committees, and the recently created ad hoc communities committee. Through the MACorps volunteer group, she has provided extraordinary leadership and service. She was instrumental in the annual Goose Hollow Neighborhood Cleanup projects and chaired the Rebuilding Together project on behalf of MAC, which renovated and painted the home of a neighbor in need. She volunteers for many social and athletic events through MACorps. When a request for volunteers is sent out, she is typically the first to respond, whether the request is for holiday decorators, volunteering for an aquatics meet or helping with Family Fridays. This very engaged member is the backbone of MACorps Volunteers, which exemplifies her extraordinary service to the club and makes her so deserving of this award.

2013 • Year in Review President’s Report Continued from page 51 by members has increased approximately 30 percent. I think you would agree our staff should be commended for their increased productivity.

Outgoing Treasurer Craig Iverson Because the club is busy, members also may speculate that MAC’s membership is growing. We have not expanded the membership and have maintained the resident head count goal of just over 17,000 members.

Our lotteries, of which we will have another later this year, are designed to replace past members. We have even reduced events in our well-respected catering department to help manage crowding and parking.

We continue to be, primarily and most importantly, a premier athletic club. Most of our dues and budget are dedicated to athletics. In 2013 we had a world cham-

pion, 45 national champions, and numerous regional and state champions. A former ski athletic member, Jacqueline Wiles, competed in the Olympics in downhill skiing. We have two members on track to be on the U.S. Synchro team in Rio. Several teams, such as the rock climbing team, had record numbers of participants last year and are sending four members to nationals. Dance added the Junior Company last year and every member of the regular company recently qualified for nationals.

Beyond competitive glory, our recreational classes and programs continue to grow, with some, like swimming lessons, tennis and gymnastics, being full.

“If they don’t want to come, you can’t stop them” I have talked about how members love the club, so here are some numbers. About 4,000 people a day walk through the club’s front doors, we wash about 6,000 towels a day, and we have close to 700,000 square feet of building space.

The club serves about 12,000 catered meals a month, and the Men’s Bar and Sports Pub serve nearly 13,000 meals each month.

Joe’s serves about 15,000 a month.

“I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it.”

It is hard trying to be all things to all members, with thousands of members with diverse backgrounds and interests, and in different stages of life. Allocating club resources is a challenge for committee members, staff and the board. Most members are quite patient and politely remind us of their needs and complaints. Despite the board’s and management’s slow or unpopular response at times, I can assure you your input

President’s Award One of the club’s most prestigious honors is the President’s Award. The President’s Award is given to a member who demonstrates leadership, sportsmanship, and dedication to athletic participation, and has inspired other members through athletic achievement.

Past winners are displayed in MAC’s Hall of Champions on the basement level.

The 2014 recipient, Bill Cordano, pictured with outgoing President Carl Burnham III, is well known to many in the club’s golf community, especially if you have played this 71 year old on the course. Why? Well, he has a handicap of 7, something he has been diligently lowering since his retirement nearly 10 years ago. He has won the super senior division for seven consecutive years, and in addition to his skill on the links, he has served on the club’s golf committee for years. Cordano even helped organize the club’s first golf expo.

But Cordano is more than a golfer – he’s an all-around athlete. In 1996, he won the club’s overall decathlon championship. During his 40 years of consecutive decathlon competitions he has garnered 12 age-group wins. He also once did 118 push-ups. And to top it off, he has twice been nominated for the club’s Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award.

is taken seriously. It is just hard to balance all the competing interests.

“We have deep depth.”

Almost any challenge that confronts the club, whether legal, human resources, real estate, insurance, construction, website construction, etc., has committee volunteers who are experts in the field ready to serve.

We have more than 600 active committee members on 48 committees. With this depth and our talented and committed staff managing the club day-to-day, there are few challenges we cannot overcome.

In fact, MAC staff has saved a few lives using the automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the past three years. We currently have more than 75 staff trained in CPR/ AED use. The club would like to thank Dr. Paul Blaylock for helping the club develop its emergency medical protocols and for providing in-service training to staff.

“The future ain’t what it used to be.”

In summary, the club must constantly adapt to changes in member demographics, usage, forms of exercise, wellness and general athletic trends. Just 10 years ago, we did not have a club WiFi system, computers, cell phones with cameras or TVs everywhere.

Who would have thought that the age group with the most increase in club usage would be members over the age of 62, with most of the increase being in the E&C Room and group exercise classes? We Baby Boomers don’t want to stop our active lifestyles and why should we.

“You can observe a lot just by watching” To wrap up 2013, the club is increasingly using real-time data and systems to improve operating efficiencies, maximize use of our real estate, improve customer service, and plan for the future.

What did I learn?

Although not perfect, MAC’s community is special, and great with members and staff who care deeply about this institution and who are extremely gracious, respectful and helpful.

“It ain’t over till it’s over” I would like to thank all of my fellow members, my fellow trustees, and staff for helping make 2013 another positive year. I was certainly enriched by the experience and look forward to simply enjoying the club and attending fewer meetings.

And we owe a special thanks to Dwayne Brantley, facilities plant manager, who is retiring after 48 years of service to the club, and squash pro Khalid Mir for his 38 years of building the club’s squash program. Each one of us is responsible for leaving the club in a better place then we inherited it. Dwayne and Khalid certainly did. WM

TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN

Year in Review

Meet the New Trustees

by Tony Roberts

E

ach year the Nominating Committee identifies potential candidates for the Board of Trustees. After surveying a wide variety of members, the committee debates, narrows its list, and finally approves four new candidates. The new trustees approved at the annual meeting have begun their three-year terms.

Linda Higgons

“Each committee has given me valuable insight to how decisions are made in different areas and how the process works.”

– Linda Higgons

54 | The Wınged M |

March 2014

Linda Higgons’ path to the Board of Trustees started, in part, because of her job.

Higgons began working for Portland-based marketing communications firm Turtledove Clemens in 1977, and retired as a partner 34 years later. Her background led her to a slot on MAC’s Communications Committee, which she eventually chaired.

“Once I saw how important the committee system was to the club and the difference it can make, I went on to Membership, Nominating, MACorps and House, where I served as chair,” she says.

“Each committee has given me valuable insight to how decisions are made in different areas and how the process works.”

Higgons was raised, educated and started working on the East Coast, but once she moved west, never went back. She lived in the Bay Area for several years, where she worked for the in-house marketing team at Visa. She was one of the first 60 employees at the credit card company. Higgons left the Bay Area for Portland in 1977.

“Several business friends were members of MAC, and I enjoyed the social side of the club with them,” she says. “It didn’t take me long to realize that I wanted to be included in the membership of such a wonderful facility for both the social and athletic opportunities.”

Higgons joined MAC through its very first lottery in 1982. Early on in her membership, Higgons was struck by an out-of-town relative’s comment that she would “never think of an athletic club in the same way” after visiting MAC. “It really made me step back and realize how amazing this facility is, regardless of your

age or your interests; ranging from world-class athletes to a world-renowned chef and classes for every imaginable subject,” Higgons says.

“I am pleased to be a trustee and help make decisions on how to manage the club in the future and continue to make it secure and relevant to its biggest asset, the membership.”

Shortly after moving to Portland, Higgons created an organization called the Network of Business Women. She had been president of a similar organization in San Francisco, and brought those ideas to MAC. She also has served on the Girl Scouts of America Columbia River Council Board of Directors, and on the board of Lake Oswego Hunt Equestrian Center. Higgons has ridden horses all of her life, and still occasionally rides in competitions. She retired from Turtledove Clemens in 2011. The Vancouver resident says retirement has given her more time to work with dogs at the Southwest Washington Humane Society, foster kittens, ride on their Harley Davidson with her husband Glenn Miller, and spend more time working out and taking classes at the club.

2013 • Year in Review “We had no idea what a committee did, we were just into these sports, mountain biking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing.”

– Scott Stevens

Janice Marquis Today, an aspiring member might go through MAC’s lottery several times before winning the right to join. But when Janice Marquis looked into joining the club 40 years ago, it was different. The club had plenty of open slots for single women, a rarity among membership at the time.

Fresh out of college at the University of Oregon, Marquis paid $150 to join the club. And while she would not spend time on MAC’s major committees until later, she was no stranger to volunteerism during her post-college years at MAC. Marquis was a member of the Women’s Athletic Activities Committee at MAC and was an avid runner, using the club to train for events and doing group runs with Joe Loprinzi. She also was a co-founder of and the first race director of Portland’s Cascade Run Off-Road Race in 1978. The groundbreaking 15K was the first national road race to offer cash to winners.

Runner’s World magazine called it “the race that changed the sport.”

“Nike brought in big names every year, and it became a very popular event,” Marquis says. “I really enjoyed it. It was a big chapter in my life.”

“We really need to be nimble to be able to adjust to change.”

– Janice Marquis

While organizing the influential road race, Marquis also embarked on a career in commercial real estate, during which she oversaw several notable projects in Portland.

She managed and leased the 200 Market building during its redevelopment, when it was the first building in the country to achieve existing LEED Gold certification; oversaw several of the city’s historic buildings; and was a member of a four-person team that developed, managed and leased the 500,000-square-foot PacWest Center Building. She was also the first woman to serve as president of the Portland Building Owners and Managers Association, and served on the national board. The board was just one of many professional, community and arts organizations on which she has served, including the Metropolitan Exposition Recreation Commission.

With her vast experience in commercial real estate, joining MAC’s Property Committee was a natural fit for Marquis after she retired and became more involved with the club. She eventually chaired the committee, and also served on Strategic Planning, Nominating and ad hoc space utilization. Since stepping down from her real estate career, Marquis spends more time in the Card Room playing bridge, and cycling remains a passion.

“I think at this point in my life, it’s good timing to join the board,” she says. “I really care about the club. The camaraderie is special.”

While Marquis doesn’t have a specific agenda, she thinks it’s important to discuss the future of the club and its changing demographics. “We really need to be nimble to be able to adjust to change,” she says.

Marquis has two children, who live in Boston and Bend. She lives in Lake Oswego with her husband, Tony Marquis.

“Change happens all around us whether we like it or not, so let’s embrace the opportunity to manage our change incrementally to be better, to be highly relevant and to be more vibrant.”

– Mike Wells

Scott Stevens Like many Trustees, Scott Stevens is the picture of an active MAC member. He works out in the Exercise & Conditioning Room, dines in the Men’s Bar with his wife, and has served on multiple major committees, including Property and Athletics, of which he was chair.

2013 • Year in Review Meet the New Trustees Continued from page 55 But it wasn’t always that way. Fifteen years ago, he returned to Portland after graduating from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo., and wasn’t all that interested in the club’s offerings. Stevens was an avid outdoorsman, and didn’t want to trade rock climbing and mountain biking for court sports. He did, however, answer the call when former Outdoor Activities Program Manager Doug Striker posted a notice looking for members interested in climbing, and started going to outdoor sessions in the area.

“I did it more as an end-around to meet people to climb with,” Stevens admits.

That changed as interest in the outdoors grew at the club, and Stevens helped found the Outdoor Activity Program, and was one of the first co-chairs of the OAP Committee.

“We had no idea what a committee did, we were just into these sports, mountain biking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing,” Stevens says. “We were allocated money as a committee. We didn’t know what to do with the money. We just wanted to climb.”

Stevens and company figured out the committee system, and the rest is history.

OAP eventually was folded into a larger Outdoor Department, and this month, new bouldering and speed walls will be completed, creating a full-service rock gym.

Stevens is a self-described “serial entrepreneur” who was part of a successful technology start-up. Shortly after college, he was the fourth employee at a small computer forensics and electronic discovery company, eventually working his way up to vice president of business development, and a seat on the company’s board of directors.

At 39, he’ll be one of the youngest members to ever join the Board of Trustees.

“I’m doing it to give back,” Stevens says.

“You don’t do this to push a certain agenda, you do it to make the club a better place.”

Stevens is a self-described “serial entrepreneur” who lives in Northeast Portland with his wife, Annica DeYoung.

Mike Wells Mike Wells knows MAC well. He’s spent the last 15 years serving on major committees whose work touches every aspect of the club. But this past year, he got to know MAC even better. Wells, serving as Athletic Committee Chair, and Athletic Director Ed Stoner revived the “AD vs. AC Challenge,” competing against each other and with other athletes in the club’s many sports.

The new trustees, from left, Linda Higgons, Janice Marquis, Scott Stevens and Mike Wells, were introduced at February’s Annual Meeting.

“This challenge prompted me to try some sports for the first time, like squash and handball, that have such passionate communities here at MAC,” Wells says.

While Athletics was Wells’ most recent committee assignment, he also served on the House and Property committees. Property was a natural fit given his career. Wells was a construction engineering major at Oregon State, and his work has involved various facets of the commercial real estate industry; first construction, then brokerage, followed by development, and now his leadership role at CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate company. Wells is the company’s managing director for Oregon and southwest Washington, and leads a staff of 125. During his time at various firms and in different aspects of the industry, he has developed more than 1.8 million square feet of industrial, office and retail space in Portland and Seattle.

Despite the busy schedule, Wells still finds time to use different parts of MAC. With all three of his children now away from home, Wells spends time working out in the E&C Room, playing a little tennis, watching

Timbers games from the Stadium Terrace, and of course, attending meetings.

Wells and his wife, LeAnn, joined the club through the lottery in 1989, with son Greg, the first of three children who grew up at the club.

“I’m happy to take my turn to help lead the best athletic club in the country, to keep it fresh, vibrant and thriving,” Wells says.

“I anticipate to benefit from meeting lots of members who use the club in many different ways, one of the highlights I experienced with previous committee service.”

As for objectives, Wells’ goal is to make sure the club remains relevant and thriving.

“We have a great club and I want to keep it that way,” he says. “Change happens all around us whether we like it or not, so let’s embrace the opportunity to manage our change incrementally to be better, to be highly relevant and to be more vibrant.”

Wells and his wife live in Lake Oswego and have three children. Greg, 25, works for Turner Construction in Portland; Jeff, 22, is in his last semester as a computer science major at Arizona State University; and Annie, 19, is a business major at OSU. WM

Major Committees Lead The Way in Planning At h l e t i c

The Athletic Committee, with 15 members, had a great year. We enthusiastically undertook our duties with regard to programs and policies for athletic activities at the club.

Here is a summary of some of the more notable accomplishments.

Mike Wells Under the leadership of Marianne Ritchie, the athletic membership subcommittee reviewed and processed 40 member coach applications, plus 61 athletic member applications. The club now has 92 active member coaches, who typically serve a maximum of five years, and 82 athletic members, whose goal is to “augment the excellence of the club’s athletic program and to raise the level of member experience and participation.”

During the year, the budget subcommittee, chaired by John Helmer III, handled 78 championship funding requests. The club reimbursed elite athletes approximately $160,000 for competition at the championship level at venues around the country. Also, sport committees reviewed and submitted 41 fundraising requests for events to raise funds and enrich the activities of their constituencies.

The most significant activity for the year was implementation of the Athletic Excellence Survey, led by Laura Martin, who came back for

an unusual fourth year to chair a newly created athletic excellence subcommittee. The survey was a follow-up to the board charge last year to “develop and implement an annual plan for sport committees to assess their sport and staff effectiveness with the goal of increasing member satisfaction.” Members completed a total of 1,221 surveys, generally rating the majority of sports favorably. The following steps were taken during the process: 1. A new subcommittee was created.

2. The subcommittee met with a consultant and staff to create the survey.

3. Sport committees were asked to give input on questions to include in the survey.

4. A period was allotted for participants to complete the online survey.

5. Working with the consultant, the subcommittee compiled the results.

6. The athletic director, Ed Stoner, met with each sport committee to deliver the results.

7. Sport committees were asked to prepare a response plan.

8. The subcommittee prepared a final report.

The athletic awards subcommittee, chaired

by Judith Perry, solicited and evaluated the outstanding nominations for the Loprinzi and Mel Fox awards, the winners of which were announced at the Banquet of Champions in January. They also designated the winner of the President’s Award, Bill Cordano, who was announced at the annual meeting in February.

The traditional challenge between the athletic director and Athletic Committee chair

was reinstated. Ed Stoner and I competed each month in a variety of sports. We also participated together in some nonscored activities, such as a group exercise class. Results were reported to the Athletic Committee each month to the amusement of many.

Other committee members not yet mentioned who should be recognized for their service include Steve Brown, Derrick Cameron, who chaired the long range planning subcommittee, Julie Carpenter, Barbara Chiapuzio, who chaired the diversified sports subcommittee, Lorne Dauenhauer, Kathy Dodds, Mark Holman, Sue Rimkeit, Deanne Woodring and Dennis Thompson, who graciously rejoined the committee midyear.

Diversity

The Diversity Admissions Committee had an amazing and productive year in 2013. Our committee consisted of 11 members of the MAC community. I challenged my committee this year to “talk where your feet are.” Meaning, whenever they have a chance, to have a conversation with Sandy Moore a fellow MAC member in the Sports Pub, the Men’s Bar, while playing a game of bridge, or while doing a club activity, and share with them what the committee is about and continue to help dispel the myths of

Inside the MAC Committee System

The MAC committee system is made up of eight standing (major) committees, eight event committees and 25 sport committees. MAC’s committee system is open to young, old, new and lifelong members. Adult resident members may apply for any committee except the Junior Activities and Teen MACorps; only junior members may apply for these committees. Courtesy and athletic members may serve on committees but not as chair.

Committee members work side-by-side with professional staff and member coaches to plan and carry out policies and programs. The leadership, expertise and camaraderie shared by committees create a unique community spirit.

Members must commit the time and energy necessary to be a responsible committee member. Some committees look for members with specific qualifications or prior committee experience. Members do not need a reference to serve on a committee.

Standing (major) committees are defined by the club bylaws and report directly to the Board of Trustees. Event committees report to the Member Events Committee, and sport committees report to the Athletic Committee. Committees work in partnership with staff.

Committees are already chosen for the 2014 committee year. MAC begins accepting committee applications for 2015 in December. For more information, visit the committees page at theMAC.com.

the goals of the committee. The goal of the committee is to lead by example using the Diversity Admissions Committee mission as a guideline.

The mission statement reads, “the purpose of the Diversity Admissions Program is to increase the racial diversity of Multnomah Athletic Club membership to better reflect the community in which we live.”

The committee was formed in 1996 as part of the original Civic Membership Program to increase the racial diversity of the club’s membership. Through five triennial reviews, the program has evolved to better serve its primary goal. The most visible change made in the 2012 ad hoc review was the name change from Ethnic Diversity Committee to Diversity Admissions Committee, which members of the ad hoc review

Once again this year, the Diversity Admissions Committee hosted the Bring A Friend event at MAC. All members were allowed to invite a friend/potential applicant for the Diversity Admissions Committee. This event was well attended by MAC members and their “Friends.” All of the guests that evening enjoyed the club, many visiting for their first time. The evening consisted of live music from two Oregon Symphony cellists, appetizers and lots of mingling among other MAC members and their guests.

This year, the Diversity Admissions Committee reviewed 22 nominations through the program.

Of these, 15 candidates were invited to apply for membership by the board. In addition, we have received 11 applications from guests that attended the Bring A Friend event in the fall.

house

The charge of the House Committee is to recommend, establish, monitor and enforce rules of conduct for club members. Monthly, the committee reviews logs, violations, suspensions and reinstatements.

During the year financial and behavioral member Linda Higgons infractions occur, and minimum sanctions are offered to members for lesser offenses while more serious rules violations are handled by investigations conducted by House subcommittees.

In May, the House Committee initiated a pilot program for the summer defining the use of club programs by nonmember children and grandchildren, specifically allowing members to enroll these children in MAC camps and classes during summer session only. In November, a review of the program indicated that the policy change did not create disruption/displacement of children on member family accounts and was regarded favorably by staff. The committee recommended that this be approved as the policy for future summer camps.

Another pilot program initiated through the current school year is a change in junior hours.

In recognition that the class schedules are more flexible and vary from student to student, and that the traditional school day does not exist, juniors ages 14 and older are now allowed in the clubhouse without an accompanying adult from opening to closing throughout the year.

There are no changes to the areas that these juniors may use.

This year, the board asked the committee to review minimum sanctions and the length of the allowed reinstatement period. The minimum sanction for behavior unbecoming a member was reduced from three to two months. It was also recommended to strengthen the sanction for not reporting vehicular accidents occurring on club property. After reviewing the allowed reinstatement period, it was extended from 12 to 24 months to help alleviate exception requests.

The committee also reviewed parking fines for first, second, and all subsequent violations for speeding, blocking exits/others, leaving the club premises and all other offenses. The changes recommended were made for the safety of members in an often-crowded garage.

The year was productive due to the efforts of the much-appreciated committee members, aided by board liaisons Dwight Terry and Scott Sakamoto, and made possible by the support of staff Norm Rich, Tim Arbogast, John Foley, Linda Ornelas and Executive Assistant Lisa Jones. u Committee members: Julie Branford, Lorraine Robertson, Biddy Wolf, Kevin Noall, Dan Morris, Todd Welch, Jan Jackson, Charlie Digregorio,Cliff Dias,TimGillette,NelsonLam, Gail Post and Carrie Stevens.

Member Events

You probably noticed social events changes around the club during 2013. These changes happened through committee plans.

Our first major focus for 2013 was encouraging development of cross-committee events.

These combined events Mike Mathews appeal to larger numbers of members, resulting in bigger events that are more fun.

The second major focus was building greater clarity in the budget process across all social committees. Everyone pitched in with great ideas and we dug down into the details to work through members’ responses to each event. You will see the results in 2014 as some events add more days or time opportunities and other events get a complete reworking.

But the year was not all budgets and planning. The Family Events Committee went through a complete restructuring to bring renewed interest and easier execution of family events. The Juniors Events Committee brought junior volunteers to many different events, including an adult Halloween party where juniors provided the thrills. Culture and Style worked with Member Services to bring engaging speakers and events.

The 20s/30s Committee’s second year brought fun events both outside and into the clubhouse, and they interested a few youngat-heart members along the way. The Social Activities Committee boosted their second year with new parties and movie sing-alongs attended by hundreds of members.

2013 • Year in Review

Member Events Continued from page 59 The Balladeers and MelloMACs saw new members join, with the Balladeers also gaining an excellent new director with a truly awesome résumé. Holiday Decorating closed 2013 with a candy land theme, hanging peppermints from the ceiling and generally spicing up the club for the holidays.

By the time you read this, the McAlpin Award recipient will be known. All I can say now is thank you for your generous service to the club. Later, in April, we will celebrate the excellence of our juniors and teens with the Al Tauscher Award, given to MAC juniors and teens who exemplify the best of citizenship and community service according to their nominating peers and adults.

Of course, I have many people to thank for the year’s success: the Member Events Committee members; the Member Services office, who tirelessly execute plans they helped grow in committees, Linda Ornelas, Abby DenUyl, Mandy Beasley, Sybil Guggenheim and Nicole Greider (especially for the work she does with the Juniors); and our 2013 Board liaisons David DeBlasio and David Horstkotte. u Committee members: Ilaine Cohen, Bobbi Knight, Rebecca Frinell, Sharon Alport, Annie Duden,D’AnneO’Neill,DickAllen,NancyGast, Marisa Hernandez and Carol Robertson.

Membership committee

The Membership Committee reviews and recommends qualified applicants to the Board of Trustees for election to membership. This past year, the committee worked primarily on applications from the 2012 lottery. Other avenues to memberCraig Ruble ship that were reviewed i n c l u d e d l e g a c y, Diversity Admissions, former athletic members, and those wishing to add a spouse to their membership.

This committee worked very closely with several people from the Member Services area to effectively and efficiently move the election process forward. At times, additional efforts were made to insure that enough information is made available for assessment. Special subcommittees, as voted upon on a when-needed basis by the committee, reviewed each of these

cases, then presented a recommendation to the full committee based on their investigation.

By the end of this committee year, the Committee expects to have processed 447 applications, 367 resignations and 29 reinstatements. All applications are reviewed by at least one member of the committee after all application documents have been compiled by Member Services.

I have developed a much keener awareness of the high level of scrutiny that is brought to bear upon each membership application.

I would like to thank all committee members for their service this year. In particular, I want to thank them for their work on the subcommittee level, both as chairs and members.

They provided a valuable service to all MAC members with their judgment, thoughtfulness and time. Looking back on my three-year tenure on the committee, I have developed a much keener awareness of the high level of scrutiny that is brought to bear upon each membership application. This insures that the values and priorities of Multnomah Athletic Club are shared by all members.

Board of Trustee liaison services were provided by Ann Blume and Bob Nunn.

Member Services are an integral part of this committee, as ably represented by Member Services Director Linda Ornelas, Membership Manager Dave Hanna and Member Services Specialist Kevin Pollack in completing its tasks for the year. u Committee members: Nancy Sergeant, Jeff Spelman, Dave Brezinski, John Rupp, Terry Lewis, Karen Sheridan, Becky Jones, Suzanne DeStephano, Pat Fuller, Fay Gyapong and Tom Sidley.

Property

The 2013-14 Property Committee had an exceptional group of members contributing in many ways to recommend/monitor/establish policies, procedures and capital budgets for construction, improvements, maintenance and replacement of our Cameron club’s physical assets.

Hyde We had a very busy agenda and consider the year a huge success.

The committee worked to implement the capital budget established by the prior year’s committee, Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. The Property Committee consisted of the following members: Amy Jarvis, Greg Williams, Judy Vogland, Steven Easterday, Scott Jackson, Tom Bard, Mark Carnese, Marlis Miller, Jerald Powell, Kathryn Spere, MacGregor Hall, Paul Murphy, Kandis Brewer Nunn, Scott Stevens and Grant Yoshihara.

Additionally, Trustee liaisons Ann Blume and Doug Dawley; Facilities Director Elsa Lemoine, Administrative Assistant Christine Draper, Capital Project Manager Diane Kelley, Physical Plant Manager Dwayne Brantley and the club’s executive management team participated in the Property Committee meetings.

The Property Committee had three standing subcommittees: maintenance, budget and arts.

These subcommittees were chaired by Kathy Spere, Tom Bard, and co-chairs Judy Vogland and Melissa Naito, respectively. Each of these groups put in extra hours and made significant contributions to the club. The budget and maintenance subcommittees both make important contributions in terms of repair, upgrades, maintenance and budgeting for the club physical plant. The arts subcommittee hosted two significant art shows this year in the Reading Lounge and two Art at MAC events with artists James Lavadour and Laura Ross Paul.

The Property Committee had four ad hoc subcommittees: campus fall protection, sustainability, rock wall expansion and Women’s

Locker Room remodel. These subcommittees were chaired by Tom Bard, Amy Jarvis, Greg Williams and Marlis Miller respectively. The campus fall protection subcommittee completed safety upgrades started in 2012. The last pieces were the steps, handrails and guard railing at the Stadium Terrace.

The maintenance of our 600,000-squarefoot facility is the day-to-day responsibility of Lemoine and her staff. MAC has been blessed to have Dwayne Brantley as our Physical Plant Manager, but he is now retiring after 48 years of service. If any of you know him, I am sure you agree that he is a tremendous person and served this club in an amazing fashion. This year marks Brantley’s move toward retirement, and this committee and those from many past years owe him a debt of thanks for his extraordinary

c o m m i t t e e 2013r• Major e pCommittee o r Reports ts service to the club. We miss him, and we wish Lemoine the best in moving forward without Brantley to lean on.

I want to thank this year’s committee members for their countless hours of volunteered effort to help make MAC what it is. A special thanks to trustees Blume and Dawley for their support and to Norm Rich and Tim Arbogast for their guidance.

S t r at e g i c Planning

The Strategic Planning Committee had a busy year gazing into the crystal ball to see how the club can continue best serving its members for many years to come.

Our task was made easier by an experienced group of returning committee members joined by great new members. The skills and experience of comDave Porter mittee members Ann Blume, Jamie Daigle, Bob Dayton, Kirby Fox, Fred Gast Jr., Rob Gray, Lori Hesse, Janice Marquis, Hunt Norris, Bob

Radler, Patty Thompson, Tricia Walker and Reidun Zander were invaluable in addressing the board’s charges. Board liaisons Darcy Henderson, Gwen Farnham and Scott Sakamoto added great perspective and a steady hand.

Our staff liaisons, General Manager Norm Rich, Assistant General Manager Tim Arbogast, Member Services Director Linda Ornelas, Athletic Director Ed Stoner, Athletic Director and Senior Executive Assistant Melania Oppat, added their experience, knowledge and expertise throughout the year. Their knowledge of the club was invaluable to our efforts, and we are very appreciative of the many mornings they participated in our meetings.

The board asked the committee to perform two tasks: develop additional recommended strategies for the key initiatives listed in the Strategic Plan, and perform a market analysis to learn what additional programs, services, amenities, etc., MAC may need to ensure that the club remains relevant.

The first board charge involved revisiting the Club’s 2010-19 Strategic Plan. Specifically, the board asked the committee to consider whether the key strategies listed in the plan, as drafted in 2010, remain relevant to meeting the plan’s initiatives going forward. The committee determined that all but one of the strategies remain relevant. In addition, we recommended

two new strategies that we thought deserved consideration.

For the second board charge, the committee conducted ad hoc surveys and interviews of four demographic groups within the club, analyzed information previously gathered by others within the club, and worked with staff.

…the committee conducted ad hoc surveys and interviews of four demographic groups within the club…

The resulting findings did not point to the next rock wall but, rather, how the club can enhance its interactions with each demographic group to serve them for their lifetime. While the committee did make specific recommendations regarding a wellness program, business center, spa and other new services and amenities, we determined the club should focus on making interacting with MAC enjoyable and easy at every stage of members’ lives.

Thank you to all of the committee members, board liaisons and staff for their hard work and dedication to the committee during the year. We accomplished a lot through the efforts of many members and staff. WM

Building Upon MAC’s Tradition of Excellence in Athletics Ba s k e t b a l l

During 2013, the Basketball Committee continued to host several events that have become mainstays. The Ray Martinelli Hack Hoop Open, the Outdoor 3-on-3 Tournament, and the seasonal house leagues featured hardfought competition.

Tom Ferris The three divisional championships for the fall house league were won by the Broncos (NCAA), the 87ers (D-league), and the Thunder (NBA). The NBA, the D-League and the NCAA divisions truly offered a place for all adult MAC basketball players to fit in.

The junior program continued to build a strong tradition by providing quality coaching for boys and girls. This was evident as there were several MAC teams competing at a high level in various tournaments and leagues throughout the year.

The adult competitive teams played hard in both regional and national tournaments. The Platinum team won its division in the regional PCAC tournament, while the Masters and Golden Masters teams were national champions, winning at the NACAD tournament. u Committee members: Scott Dougherty, Mark Hesse, Darci Keljo, Walker Kidd, Doug Post and Stephen Zahler.

Cycling

Over the past year, the cycling program at MAC has seen some changes while sticking to our traditional rides.

As far as changes go, we offered several “field trip” rides around town, led by MAC member and former national title holder Mary Ross.

Jim Laird Several members have suggested that creating smaller, social group rides to offer an opportunity for members to be more engaged with cycling would make people more likely to try other rides in the future. Be looking for more of these rides during the summer of 2014.

Our Second Saturday rides and Wednesday night rides offer MAC members opportunities to connect with other MAC cyclists and their friends for either training or social rides. These rides would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our member coaches.

Wednesday Nights are lead by veteran coach Ian Penner and our newest coach, Jennifer Cree. Both are extremely knowledgeable and approachable and very passionate about cycling. Coach Craig Schommer, also extremely approachable and passionate, leads Saturday group rides. Be sure to look up the coaches’ impressive bios at theMAC.com. u Committee members: Name one, Name number two, Name number three, Name number four and Name five.

Dance/group exercise

Group exercise continues to offer new venues for MAC members. Darrell Duvauchelle has added a new exercise format called Max’d Out and Boot Barre. Other group classes, such as MAX Force, Zumba, Nia and Evolution etc. continue to gain in popularity. Anita Stark has added an additional hour workout before her NIA classes, called FloorPlay, which uses flexibility, agility, mobility, stability and strength while moving on the floor to become strong, stretched, balanced and fit.

We were glad to see the arrival of our new stage. We are continuing to work on protocols in Studio 1 to make our exercise programs run smoothly. We instigated the ban on cell phones and texting in the studios. More to come. We want the members who attend classes to enjoy their workouts unfettered.

More than 300 MAC members enrolled in our dance program of 54 classes per week, conducted by 18 instructors. The program’s

Exercise & Conditioning

The Exercise and Conditioning Committee had another great year.

We provided key questions for the first annual athletic survey and feedback on the E&C Room survey results. The committee has been working to use the results to continue developing our Connie Dunklestrategic plan.

Weyrauch Early last summer, we found out that the continuation of the redesign of the E&C Room plan had been moved up.

Architects are currently doing a feasibility study to give us a better idea of what can be done and estimated costs. The committee was also able to support a new initiative this summer providing an opportunity for underserved youth to learn squash and use the E&C Room for fitness. We held our regular events: Winter Blitz, the Fall Fitness Challenge with our second Fitness Fair and the Bench Press Contest. The committee continues to look at reports that monitor usage of the major equipment to ensure we have popular equipment available during peak times.

Thank you to our liaisons, Steve Brown (Athletic), Nancy Petit (E&C Room), Will Cath (E&C Coordinator) and all of the E&C Committee members who gave their time and energy to ensure we have the best space and equipment possible. u Committee members: Dr. Nels Carlson (Athletic Coach), Terry Bernhardt, Linda Craig, Mike Falkenstein, Dr. Ron Fraback, Kyle Goulard, Dr. Shirley Ingram, Bill Kinsey, Joe Murphy, Vicki Quick, Lisa Welch and Connie Dunkle-Weyrauch.

Golf

The MAC Golf Committee facilitates golf opportunities for MAC members at all levels of ability. Evolution best describes the year.

In the first quarter, PGA professional Robyn Lorain came on board as a member coach and we replaced the annual Debbie 1st Tee Dinner with the Bensching 1st Tee Golf Expo. Onehundred members participated, and a variety of vendors from the golf industry gave away fabulous prizes to make it a great hit. Join us at the expo this year.

We achieved our goals of increasing participation, offering new events, and continuing spring golf, the annual scramble and Club Championship. We had a record turnout at the Club Championship with 48 participants and a wait list. We added a Bend golf trip to Awbrey Glen, which we hope to make an annual event. New offerings, made possible by our member coach, included participation in Family Fridays and the Indoor Golf Clinics for adults and juniors.

We accomplished some housekeeping by updating our bulletin board to display current information about MAC golf, and we began updating our policies, starting with the Sport Specific Standards and developing policy for the Golfer of the Year award. u Committee members: Terri Cook, Bill Cordono, Seth Harris, Sandy Larkin, Greg Marshall and Zachary Fruchtengarten.

Gymnastics

Ninety-four gymnasts made up MAC’s competitive boys and girls teams this year.

The teams sustained their tradition of excellence in 2013 with 117 individual state, regional and national titles. Of the 12 competitive teams, all placed third Ken Boyko or higher at the state meets. The girls levels 5, 6, 8 and 9, and the boys levels 8, 9 and 10 placed first; girls levels 4, 6 and 10 placed second; and boys levels 6 and 7 placed third. For another consecutive year, the entire girls optional team and the entire boys team qualified to compete in regionals, and all level 9 and 10 girls and boys qualified for nationals. The optional girls team was named USA Gymnastics Program of the Year for Region 2. Two of our graduating senior girls are currently competing for Boise State.

We are especially proud of Banks Hall, boys level 10, who earned first place on the parallel bars, second all-around at nationals, and won MAC’s 2013 Mel Fox Amateur Athlete Award. His body of work over the years as a MAC gymnast is impressive.

The 30th Annual MAC Open hosted 850 competitors. Several thousand volunteer hours went into the event.

MAC’s recreational gymnastics program continues to attract a talented pool of gymnasts that feeds the success of the competitive program, averaging 300 participants per term.

It was another great year for the Karate Program and all its students.

MAC Karate successfully hosted yet another Oregon State Qualifying Tournament. We were the group to take the most medals at the NW Classic with 16. After a Laurie Farwell long hiatus, the committee resumed Self Defense Classes to a warm reception from many women at MAC. Head Instructor Bill Plapinger, newly retired from his full-time job, has more free time to teach these seminars, in addition to more karate classes.

Our affiliate program, JFK NW, now in Hillsboro, has started a Competition Team that includes five MAC members. They are representing MAC and JFK NW at several upcoming tournaments, including nationals in Las Vegas in July.

All of our students have worked hard and advanced; we are most proud of Nate Asby, who after 26 years of hard work, dedication and optimism earned his black belt. u Committee members: Jim Prihoda, Don Dominguez,Sarah,ElizabethandMaryBaldwin, Maya Schell, Scott Chauncey, Nate Asby and Chief Instructor Bill Plapinger.

We remember Ruth Gudman and Louise Gatch, who played water volleyball for many years. Their enthusiasm for and participation in the sport is always remembered.

We have completed our 59th year of water volleyball and look forward to a 60th year of competition, camaraderie and fun in the water.

Outdoor Ac t i v i t i e s Program

The Outdoor Activities Program enjoyed great successes in competition, programming and facilities expansion throughout 2013.

Our climbing team gained further attention by winning regional championships and Taylor Boyko having one athlete finish in the top 10 nationally in bouldering. Phase 3 build-out of the rock wall came at a crucial time as our program quickly grows.

We maintained and further diversified our programming with ski trips to Sun Valley and Whitefish, Mont., camping at Hague Lake, Idaho, scuba classes, river trips and the annual cleanup of the Clackamas River.

Our committee grew in exciting ways.

Timy Fairfield, an international rock climbing champion, joined as a marquee member coach.

Member coach Kathryn Huhn joined to further develop water programming. We sponsored Aaron Paulson for the flat-water kayaking U.S. Team Trials as he aims for the summer 2016 Paralympics.

The Pilates program has had a successful year, growing from six to 13 instructors, enabling the offering of many more programs at diverse times. New equipment was placed in the studio, and a new organizational wall expands the available floor space.

Ed Schneider Well-attended offerings include numerous mat classes, expanded studio times, and open studio times. A sampling of programs includes offerings such as men’s reformer, Pilates for golfers and skiers, Pilates chair, pre- and post-natal classes, and classes for seniors and juniors. New offerings include Sport Fit Pilates, Booty Barre, Sport Fit for boys ages 11 to 17, and Firm and Flexible for girls ages 11 to 17.

MELT, a program to relieve stuck stress and rehydrate connective tissues, has been very well received.

The fall open house was well attended and offered members a chance to experience equipment and mat Pilates.

The Pilates staff experienced V2Max training and the use of Core Align equipment soon to be available at the club. Pilates Coordinator Cristi Dillon attended a Pilates Method Alliance Conference and became certified in Booty Barre.

Polar Bears

The last 12 months have been a very good for the Polar Bears. The scarcity in the number of members has been overcome by the enthusiasm of every Polar Bear on Wednesdays in the West Pool. It is difficult to imagine that any of our group could have Dave Brownell had more fun.

Those MAC members not familiar with the Polar Bears should know that we meet most Wednesdays in the water for the purpose of doing battle with a volleyball and net. Any male who may happen to view our

antics stands a good chance of being invited to join the game.

This person will be amazed to learn our version of volleyball. Official volleyball rules are seldom observed. Grabbing (and moving) the net and/or the float lines to achieve the desired outcome is both legal and encouraged. Games are fast and short. Winning a rally wins both the serve and the point.

The two teams consist of different players every week, since as each player arrives at poolside, he joins the team with fewer players or the lower score. This promotes the best of fellowship. By the time play is over, most Polar Bears leave the pool wishing every day was Wednesday.. u Committee members: Dave Brownell, Guerry Bethel, Chuck Corgan, Howard Geist, Harry Groth, David Harper, Milton Johnson, Bob McKillop, Dennis Muir and Stan West.

The racquetball program at MAC enjoyed an excellent year in 2012, a year of big events, growing participation and club recognition, leading with Sam Reid winning the Mel Fox award and the Racquetball Committee being named Committee of the Year.

Mark Our intramurals Wiggington league, the heart of the program, grew under the leadership first of Andrew Enriquez and Eric Visintainer, and now under Kurt Lender, to a consistent 130 players each season. Thanks to communication and clinics by member coach Anne Griffin, women’s participation has grown dramatically, which in turn has created demands at the tournament level for mixed doubles. The Golden Masters program remains strong as well.

The Lincoln High School racquetball program, made up largely of MAC members, has become the top-tier team in the state. Sanjay Bedis, Bruce Reid and member coach David Szafranski are guiding the program to new heights.

We added a new athletic member this year, Lexi York, who at 16 is one of the top high school players in the country, winning a national title last year.

And last year marked the return of the Tournament of Champions, featuring the top eight professional players, as well as a full regional tournament. It was a great success and returns in May.

Ski

Three years ago, the Ski Committee set out to craft a long-range plan, with the vision of growing and sustaining a highly competitive and regionally respected ski team program. In October, our team implemented that plan and set a new course of Jeff Simpson excellence under the strong leadership of fulltime Head Coach Kate Morrell and Program Coordinator Justin Rackley.

With nearly 80 members this year, the program is structured to improve the skills of all levels of skiers, offering options to train between one and four days per week and including alpine ski racing and free ride coaching. Last year, the program sent athletes to regional and national championship events and produced two national masters champions, Willy Scroggins and Andrew Vetterlein.

Our goals in the coming year include the deployment of a dedicated team van to transport athletes, acquiring an inventory of speed skis for use by athletes, and new athlete and coach’s uniforms. u Committee members: Heather Adamek, Brian Bogatin, Brandon Hayes-Lattin, Sharon Johnson,AlanPruder,RobPrall,WillyScroggins and Scott Soot.

Squash

Squash had a lively year. Our talented juniors are making their mark on national squash rankings. Vaughan Siker won the Boys U13 Bronze National Tournament, and Alec Spiro ended his Boys U11 year ranked second nationally. Other juniors are playing on college varsity Marcia Wood teams; Spencer Burt at Bates, Hannah Hay-Smith at Brown, Kristine Giltvedt at Drexel, and Kaija Perkiomaki at the University of Washington.

Swimming

It was an exciting year for MAC swimming, as the junior and masters teams continued their success at the local and national levels.

This year we took our largest group yet of junior swimmers to state and sectional competitions. Many of our 10 and under ath- Ron Williams letes qualified for state.

Twenty-two swimmers competed at 11-14 state championships, 17 at age group sectionals, 12 at senior sectionals, and one at junior nationals.

We were dubbed “the smallest, highest-scoring team at short course senior sectionals.” Fourteen swimmers competed at Senior Western Zones Championships. We ended the year with three of our swimmers nationally ranked. The most impressive fact is that we had 22 MAC swimmers ranked in the Oregon Top 5.

The junior team attained the coveted position of a USA Swimming Level IV team. The team also earned a bronze medal in club excellence for 2013, ranking it as one of the top 200 clubs in the nation.

Our masters had a phenomenal year as well.

Jill Asch, Eric Wan and Brent Washburne participated on national champion relay teams.

Synchro

It was an amazing year for the MAC Synchronized Swimming program, with great successes for the Juniors and Masters Synchro participants.

The junior program had an outstanding season, from the U.S. Age Group Championships to Anne Cleve a placement at the highest level of the sport. The junior program is producing even more national team qualifiers. Elli Wiita earned a spot on the junior national team. Renee Zhang participated in 13-15 age group national team trials and Grace Yang participated in 11-12 age group national team trials.

The junior program also continues its dedication to sportsmanship and team bonding, hosting two synchrothons each year, as well as a holiday banquet, a very fun Halloween party, and a beautiful end-of-season banquet.

The masters also had an outstanding season while facing several challenges. The Masters program instituted a recreational level of participation alongside the competitive level to accommodate all athletic abilities. The program also had strong representation at the U.S. Masters Championship in October, where they claimed several national titles and several other high placements.

Former head coach Julie Thaden, along with assistant coaches Lucie Svrcinova and Michele Kraus, each produced many finalists and champions this year, assisted by part-time assistant coach Marissa Montejano, and various member coaches. With the departure of Thaden

in August, Svrcinova has ably stepped into the role of head coach, leaving vacant a full-time assistant coach position.

The committee continues to grow and diversify in a balanced manner, representing all levels of the sport within the club. The committee has worked well together to meet various club deadlines for funding and fundraiser requests, as well as athletic member proposals, instituting master’s program minutes, improving the synchronized swimming junior program survey, professional responses to the athletic fee increases, and continued willingness to go above and beyond to support the program in finding a second assistant coach. Along with a strong booster group, the committee supports annual exhibitions for both the juniors and masters, showcasing the talents of this program with participant ages ranging from 6 to 87. u Committee members: Anne Cleve, Nikki Berlin, Kelly Bloch, Athletic Committee liaison LorneDauenhauer,RebeccaKapanoske,Nicole Langley, Lynn Pettit, Amanda Reveno and Tom Wiita.

Tennis

The courts were hopping at MAC this year. The club fielded a record number of USTA teams. Of the 20 Adult 18+ teams, a whopping 10 made it to the playoffs.

Many teams advanced to sectionals and two 40+ teams made it all the way to the finals in California.

In City League, three of Antonia Green our 10 teams won their divisions in 2013. We added an additional City League team this year, clearing the waitlist that has existed for years. Our Club Championship tournaments had record participation. Tennis University and the barbeques at Gabriel Park were very popular. Men’s and women’s open play is well attended and the committee will sponsor open forums to address members’ concerns about it.

With so many active tennis players, court usage is a big focus of the committee. Nearly 20 percent of the respondents to MAC’s Athletic Excellence Survey were tennis players. The most common complaint was too few courts and difficulty making court reservations. The committee will continue to work on reservation policies as well as a strategic plan to request the addition of covered courts for the club.

When the committee learned that two members of the MAC tennis community had cancer and needed bone marrow transplants, we were inspired to sponsor a bone marrow donor drive.

Thirteen donors were registered at the drive in August, and we plan to make it an annual event.

Members interested in building skills in triathlon and running are supported by three member coaches and a growing number of participants among MAC friends and family. In 2013, we saw members from ages 13 to 70 participate in triathlons. Some finished their first local race while Tyler Dillavou others formed a strong MAC team at the 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas. Runners enjoyed weekly fun runs and training programs while participating as a MAC team at local races like the Shamrock Run. The MAC triathlon program is truly one of the best in Portland. World-class coaching and facilities in all disciplines create an exceptional environment for development. We sponsor a wide range of events at the club that include weekly coached workouts, an indoor triathlon, the MAC Mile, Pittock Run and Peacock Lane Run. MAC also offers reimbursement for competitors of all skill levels.

We encourage you to contact these coaches to help you reach your goals through sportspecific training programs in running, swimming, cycling and triathlon. Training programs are offered at the MAC throughout the year. Visit our page on the MAC website for information on training programs, events and other resources. u Committee members: Ben Cornett, Ryan Cunningham, Tyler Dillavou (chair), Lan Fendors, Colleen Fennerty, Scott Stevenson, Annie Usher and Patrick Wheary.

Volleyb all

MAC junior volleyball continued to grow and improve in 2013.

The program attracted many young players, with a record five 12U teams.

The top team, 12 Black, had its strongest season ever, competing all year in the Gold Division of Power League and finishBeth Zilbert ing the season ranked sixth out of 57 teams.

We saw progress toward our goal of expanding the success of our 12s program into the older

age groups. Our top 14U team ended the Power League season with a best-ever ranking of 29 out of 141 teams. We had full rosters and successful seasons at the 16U and 18U levels, as well.

In November, Lea Petock joined us as the new volleyball coordinator. Petock, who coached 12 Black last season and is the varsity coach at Lincoln High School, brings enthusiasm and new ideas that are already having a positive impact.

For the just-started 2014 season, we are excited not only about increasing the momentum of our competitive teams, but about strengthening our developmental program. Our second-level Red teams have added assistant coaches, and increased the number and level of friendship tournaments on their schedule

Unique events included memorial tree plantings to honor/remember hikers and walkers, leader training at Mazamas, MELT and Pranic Healing workshops, and map and compass workshops.

The success of the program is due to the high level of volunteerism among walking and hiking enthusiasts and committee members.

u Committee members: Theresa Easton, Matt Foley, Robert Koury, Susan Menendez.

2013 was another fruitful year for MAC Yoga. Our daily participation grows as more members discover its benefits for mind, body and spirit.

Following are some of the events and benefits that keep us growing.

• Twenty-nine weekly classes.

Carolyn Wood • Eight Friday focuses: special two -hour monthly intensives • An open house in February to welcome everyone into the MAC yoga community • Two special series: a three-session triathlete series of yoga for running, swimming and cycling; extra fall and winter restorative classes • A spring retreat at Menucha • Five master classes taught by Noah Maze, Ada Lusardi, Darcy Lyons and Anne O’Brien • Outreach to youth teams such as rock climbing, gymnastics and synchronized swimming • Support to Living Yoga through the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, The Yogathon, and The Living Yoga Gala • Providing special yoga teacher benefits: tuition to master classes and workshops Throughout the year, yoga attendance exceeded 500 people per week. We continue to advocate for a wellness center that would provide dedicated yoga space to allow smaller classes, simultaneous time offerings, and personal training space.

The committee saw some changeover in May. Todd Husband stepped down from the chairmanship, but remained on the committee to assist the new chair, Dan Scribner. Spencer Snow also retired from the committee, but continues as the contact for the Brothers Sing On concerts. New members Art Pascuzzi and Marcus Lampros join continuing members Jay Maxwell and John Wykoff.

The first order of business for the new committee was to find a music director to replace Doug Cooley. We had the excellent fortune of getting Dr. Scott Tuomi as our new musical director. Tuomi is a professor of music, seasoned choral director and a wonderful tenor who performed under Doyle’s baton in multiple productions.

In addition to the committee, several members provide valuable contributions to the group.

Dennis Muir continues his role as music librarian and scheduling planner. Michael Gleeson continues his role of finding and scheduling locations for off-site performances. Karl Wetzel is our archivist. Paul Nelson continues as our exceptionally talented accompanist.

We tailored events to meet our goals of reaching the older segment of our audience – 9 to 12 year olds – and partnered Dana Baioni with other departments in the club to enhance our events. And the committee, as well as MAC families, had fun.

Junior Events

It was another fun and exciting year for the Junior Events Committee. The committee is made up of five eighth-graders, three seventhgraders and two sixth-graders, representing various schools. We meet the second Wednesday of every other month to plan events for MAC juniors.

In May, we sponsored a junior trip to the Evergreen Wings and Waves Water Park. This first-time event sold out and was a fun-filled day for all who attended. The most popular event we plan continues to be the MAC Dance for junior members in sixth through eighth grades.

This year we took the dances in a new direction by focusing more on fun giveaways, prizes and adding cool activities and games. The dances have been a huge success, and we look forward to coming up with new themes.

We are thankful to all our committee members who joined us this year and contributed their new ideas and energy. u Committee members: Payton Bush, Tully Bush, Christiana Jeter, Jordan Johnson, Lucy Koury, Brigitte Mepham, Peyton Miller and Amelia Noall.

The second year of the Social Activities Committee was creative and busy. The committee continued to focus on larger events supplemented by ongoing smaller popular events.

Whether in the creative part of the process or the execution of an event, the mission was to offer creative and enjoyable experiences for members.

The larger events included Derby Day, Margaritaville on the Sundeck, the Witches’ Erika Wrenn Ball and the Sound of Music Sing Along. A goal of the committee this year was to work on events with other MAC committees or departments. This goal was obtained by working with MelloMacs and Balladeers on the Sound of Music Sing Along and collaborating with Walking and Hiking on the Historic Walk in the Park. Trivia Night continues to be a popular smaller event that members follow and look forward to each quarter. The committee plans to continue this event as requested by members.

Our staff liaison Mandy Beasley was essential in the implementation of our goals and execution of our events this year. Her creative mind and attention detail created a platform on which to plan amazing events. Thank you to Carol Robertson from Member Events for helping us stay on task.

Hikers Show Gratitude for Gorge Rescue A spectacular hiking trail explores Cape Horn, a landmark bluff towering above the Columbia River on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge east of Washougal. The trail meanders along riverside cliffs, passing a lovely waterfall and spectacular viewpoints atop basalt rock outcroppings above the river.

MAC hikers have been exploring this trail year-round for eight years. On a beautiful sunny day in December, hikers, dressed for the cold and brisk east wind, began the hike. It was the first day in two weeks the temperature was above freezing.

Midway through the hike, one of MAC’s hikers, Martin Schwartz, slipped and fell down a steep slope. Within an hour, emergency responders were on scene, and a well-orchestrated, coordinated rescue ensued. First responders quickly set up a complex high-angle rope rescue system. Paramedics rappelled down the slope and prepared him Schwartz transport to a waiting ambulance.

every turn of the trail. The Way meanders around the area’s munros – Scottish for mountains – rather than climbing up and down. Each evening, after a celebratory pint or glass, settle down to a home-cooked meal, sharing the experiences of the day and enjoying legendary Scottish hospitality. After dinner, sit back and listen to locals tell tales about fascinating local history, or explore the village, where community halls or pubs may offer music and dancing to the pipes.

This virtual journey begins promptly at 7 p.m. There is no cost to attend, but registration assists with planning and ensures adequate seating for everyone. Register online or call 503-517-7539. Guests are welcome. It would be April Foolish to miss this event.

-Ann Johnson WM

Four hours after the fall, Schwartz was in emergency room care. Extensive tests revealed that he had no serious injuries as a result of the fall.

The Cape Horn hikers felt that, along with thank-you letters to all responding agencies, financial gifts to the three all-volunteer rescue teams were warranted.

In January, hikers traveled to Stevenson, Wash., and met with first responders.

They introduced themselves, shared their hiking backgrounds and experience, and thanked the rescuers for their service. The rescuers also introduced themselves and shared their role that day. MAC hikers handed out thank-you letters and presented donations to the three volunteer teams that took part in the rescue. The first responders shared that they rarely receive a thank you, much less a gift of money, from those they rescue, whether on a trail, on a mountain, in the woods or on a highway. The opportunity to give thanks with financial assistance was noteworthy, but having the opportunity to thank everyone in person was, perhaps, even more significant.

During the presentations, Schwartz shook hands with a member of one of the volunteer rescue teams, who announced with emotion, “I’d like to thank you for saving my son’s life 12 years ago when he was born prematurely.” It was a moment none will soon forget.

After refreshments and informal conversations, the hikers returned to Cape Horn to finish the hike they had started in December. WM

Cycling

Start the Season with New Kits and Clinics The Cycling Committee has been busy planning events to keep cyclists on their bikes and in the know for the upcoming season.

Clinics, second Saturday and Wednesday night rides, kits with a new design – there’s a lot going on with cycling.

The committee presents a series of clinics in March, April and May to further inform members about training and equipment. The first is Sports Nutrition for the Recreational Cycling Athlete from 3-5 p.m., Sunday, March 16. The focus is on optimizing performance through correct everyday dietary choices, with some additional information on supplementation. The clinic is conducted by spin coach Mike Manning and should be extremely informative.

In March, due to limited daylight hours and unpredictable weather, all rides are scheduled to begin and end at the clubhouse. For those who brave the elements, the Saturday ride is at a relaxed pace and goes out and back, most likely on the Springwater Trail. Riders of all levels are encouraged to attend, though those training for a high-intensity event may want to drop off and venture onto something a bit more challenging. This is a highly social event with some cycling involved.

Wednesday night rides resume after the change to Daylight Savings time. Cyclists start at the clubhouse, ride up to Council Crest and make a few laps around Fairmont.

Those who find the hills a bit challenging, can meet the pack at Fairmont and just join for some laps.

Lastly, a big word of encouragement for those of who have wanted to join the MAC cyclists but perhaps have been intimidated by group rides. MAC cycling is fortunate to have an extremely talented, approachable coaching staff who are available to help and answer your questions.

Hopefully we taught people to prevent an attack before it happens, but also gave them some tools to protect themselves if the worst happens,” said karate instructor Scott Pillsbury, who helped teach the course. “Prevention is always the best way to handle a self-defense situation, but if that isn’t possible, it is always good to have a plan to protect yourself.”

The Karate Committee plans to host at least two or three similar seminars per year.

And, for an expanded look at self defense as well as the art and sport of Japanese Karate, all members are welcome to join the karate program. Classes are held Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and beginners are always welcome. For more information, contact Keri Donavan at kdonovan@themac.com

Pilates instructors introduce the new and innovative CoreAlign system in March, giving free, 10-minute demonstrations starting Monday, March 3.

Pilates

CoreAlign System Coming to Club MAC Pilates instructors are excited to introduce the new CoreAlign System to

members. I had the opportunity to experience it at the National PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) Conference last year and it really kicked my, well, you get the idea. It is an upright machine focused on functional training and cardiovascular fitness that targets all

Athletics the right places. Members can check it out this month during one of the free demonstrations in the Pilates Studio (details below).

Created by physical therapist and movement specialist Jonathon Hoffman, CoreAlign is an entirely new approach to exercise. Standing on two movable carts that slide along two tracks, with exercise tubing added for resistance, your stability and flexibility is challenged in a completely new way. CoreAlign is an ideal system for training functional movements ranging from basic skills like walking, lunging and squatting to high level athletic demands. The unique features of the CoreAlign create a system that appropriately challenges people of all levels of fitness – post-rehab, older adults, elite athletes, conditioned exercise clients and more.

CoreAlign success story I witnessed an Olympic runner at the convention who demonstrated and discussed what this incredible machine had done for her running. Before trying the CoreAlign, she had fallen on her sit bone and tore her hamstring muscle. Normally, it would have taken weeks to get back to running. CoreAlign allowed her to get back quickly to her running, and she found she had improved her running performance times. She was so amazed, she has integrated the CoreAlign system into her running conditioning program. So this isn’t just for rehab, it can serve to jump start your cardio and strength program in 2014.

Enrolling children aged 2½ and above

Benefits of CoreAlign CoreAlign takes basic movements like walking, running, lunging and squatting to a new level, as you glide, press and push against the pull of the carts. It hurts in all the right places. CoreAlign balances strength and flexibility with stability and mobility, offers cardiovascular interval training, promotes deep-core recruitment in ideal posture and is a fun, dynamic and full-body workout.

You feel it fast if you are compensating on the CoreAlign machine. It just doesn’t tolerate cheating. With the gliding carts attached to tension cords that you stand on, it encourages the deeper inner muscles to complete each movement while in an ideal posture.

This is difficult for even the most serious exerciser. But that’s why it works. Exercise sequences start very small and work up to more complex patterns.

Want to try CoreAlign? Call the Pilates Studio at extension 550 to set up a free, 10-minute demonstration between Monday, March 3 and Monday, March 31.

Racquetball

Courts Come Alive in Spring The racquetball courts are bustling with activity. Another successful winter intramural session is complete, as are the Club Doubles Championships. MAC hosts the National High School Championships finals on Sunday, March 2. Results are in the next Winged M, on the racquetball bulletin board and at theMAC.com right after the tournament. There are usually a few future pros at the event.

MAC’s racquetball community looks forward to a very busy spring. Events include: • Spring Intramurals • The active junior program, overseen by Club Pro Hank Marcus • Weekly Golden Masters play • The 2nd annual revival of the Tournament of Champions. This event is now part of the pro tour and runs from Thursday, May 15 through Sunday, May 18, with several of the world’s top players competing.

• The season culminates with the Club Singles Championships and banquet from Monday, June 2 through Wednesday, June 4.

There was a great turnout for the Racquetball Club Doubles Championships in January. In addition to the regular intermediate and advanced divisions, due to the

growing number of women playing, there was a women’s division and a mixed division. There were 39 total participants, and some some very exciting and tightly contested matches. Thanks to Noho’s Hawaiian Cafe for supplying the delicious meal on the Championship evening.

Rule of the Month (i) Screen Serve. A served ball that first hits the front wall and on the rebound passes so closely to the server, or server’s partner in doubles, that it prevents the receiver from having a clear view of the ball. (The receiver is obligated to take up good court position, near center court, to obtain that view.) In one serve play, if a serve is called a screen, the server will be allowed one more opportunity to hit a legal serve. Two consecutive screen serves results in an out.

Come to the courts and check out the action. The Racquetball Committee is looking for new players at all levels.

Tournament Takeover in February February was a busy tournament month at the courts with the Rose City Classic and Rosebud Silver Junior Singles tournaments, and the $16,000 Oregon Open 2014 Professional Squash Championship. The main draw of the pro tourney featured MAC

Athletics member Julian Illingworth, an eight-time U.S. National Champion. Julian was joined in the main draw by World Tour professional players from six other countries, including four from Egypt, the leading country in developing world class squash talent.

Three junior MAC players traveled to Connecticut in December to play in the U.S. Junior Open, the world’s largIllingworth est junior tournament, involving 900 players representing 24 countries playing 2,000 matches. Alec Spiro and Gordon Lam played in the Boys U13, with Spiro reaching the consolation final.

Rowan Schnebly reached the quarterfinal in the U11 category.

More than 30 players arrived for the year’s first Thursday evening Singles Round Robin with assistant pro Mohsen Mir and several squash athletic members doing a great job at coordinating and participating in the play.

A shout out to member coach Tom Taylor for helping organize this event as well as a healthy singles Box League with nine boxes and 45 players.

The MAC Masters Swim Team is having an impressive winter season. While the weather prevents many from training outdoors, the team continues to ready itself for another championship year. Workouts intensify in January and February in preparation for the annual Oregon Masters Swimming Association meet held the first week in April at Mount Hood Community College. MAC won the OMSA title last year for mid-sized clubs and is excited to defend its championship.

Animal instincts Swimmers Scot Sullivan and Christian Tujo won their divisions in the 10th Annual Canby Animal Meet in December. The meet tests the grit and determination of masters from across the state. This is an opportunity to compete against all age groups. Sullivan proved unstoppable in the Middle Animal Division, where he won all three of his swims, the 200 IM, 100 fly and 500 free.

Tujo took the honors in the Grand Animal Division, navigating the 400 IM, 200 fly and 1,000 free.

History at MAC Archivist George Vogt came to MAC in 2011 to help bring order to the vast array of artifacts and documents associated with the club. He writes an occasional column. This month he helps reunite a lost trophy with family.

Solving a Prized Watch’s History Mystery Mystery solved!

R e c e n t l y, S h e i l a Catterall, a local clamming enthusiast, and I teamed up to solve a 50-year-old mystery and restore an unusual artifact to a descendant of the original owner.

Sometime in the 1960s Catterall dug George Vogt up an elaborately Archivist inscribed gold pocket watch in Netarts Bay while clamming. The inscription indicated that it had been the winner’s prize in a 1915 boxing match between MAAC and SAC. The initials puzzled Catterall, and the watch sat in a drawer for years. Now retired and with time on her hands – no pun intended – she returned to the mystery watch.

An Internet search revealed that MAAC was the old abbreviation for this club – “Amateur” was dropped from the name in 1936 – and SAC was likely the Seattle Athletic Club.

So Catterall contacted the MAC archives to see whether anyone could determine who had won the watch.

Knowing that the Oregonian carried extensive news of sporting events, I searched the online edition of the newspaper through the Multnomah County Library’s website and quickly found relevant articles.

The winner was Peter Schuld, who boxed in the 158 pound weight class for the club for several years. He defeated Val Sontag of Seattle to win the watch, and later became an outstanding local golfer. Catterall took it from there, found Schuld’s genealogy on ancestry.com, and posted a query. Within days, she heard from Kelly Whorten, a Schuld descendant in Seattle, who was planning to be in Portland in mid-January. The reunion of the watch, the descendant, and the detectives

march 2013

occurred in January over breakfast in the Sports Pub. Whorten grew up in Oregon and said that her family, too, loved fishing and clamming at the coast. Schuld very likely lost the watch on one of those beach outings. The Schuld descendants were excited to hear about the watch, she reported, because the family has almost nothing of Schuld’s except a few photographs.

There were a couple ironies to the tale.

The strict rules of amateurism in sports in those early years ruled out any cash prizes or payments. Instead, boxing and wrestling promoters endeavored to provide a prize significant enough to entice athletes into the ring. More than one match was cancelled because fighters or wrestlers deemed the prizes insufficient. Clearly, Schuld’s pocket watch was treasured and worn for years before it was lost in the bay. The final irony was that a few weeks after winning the watch, Schuld badly lost a rematch to Sonntag in Seattle.

No word whether Sontag won a watch.

-George Vogt WM

George Vogt, Kelly Whorten and Sheila Catterall met in the Sports Pub to inspect the watch and discuss its history.
