I

am a lover of history, and I especially treasure MAC’s history.

I raised my kids in a house that would have been located on the third hole of the old MAC golf course (purely coincidental!) and often I look Mary Turina at past issues of The PRESIDENT Winged M. Of course, I marvel at how much has changed at MAC through the years, but I’m also amazed at how much remains the same. Recently I read a feature about a Mother’s Day dinner in a Winged M from 1963, and it sounds a lot like the upcoming Mother’s Day Brunch, except for the $3.50 steaks. I also came across some photos from a “Casual Country Store Fashion Show” in that same issue. The images and accompanying captions made me think about MAC’s Spring Fashion show, which recently made a triumphant in-person return after a three-year hiatus. Congratulations to the Culture & Style Committee!

It’s traditions like these that have stood the test of time and help make MAC what it is today. Yes, change is unavoidable, and I’m happy with the direction the club is heading.

I encourage everyone to stop and look around occasionally, and truly soak in and appreciate the history that surrounds us every day. Our traditions and strength of community are built on a solid foundation that goes back generations. I’m thankful for everyone, past and present, who makes MAC such a special place.

Spring Events The All-Committee Dinner this month is being held for the first time since 2019. The dinner is a tremendous way to show appreciation for the dedicated committee members and chairs. It should be a fun and festive night.

If you’re a committee member and haven’t registered yet for the dinner on Tuesday, May 17, head over to themac.com to sign up.

Thank you to the first-year board members for putting on such a wonderful event.

If you happened by the club on April 2, you may have noticed bikes in the Turnaround

and members and staff sprinting up the hill.

Just another normal day at MAC! The Spring Sprint Triathlon took on a new look this year, and it came together thanks to the collaboration of the Events, Aquatics, Fitness, and Wellness teams. The music was heart-pumping and the energy was undeniable. It was great to see parents and their kids, along with fellow members new and old, enjoying the flurry of activity. What seemed like random madness was an inspiring show of perseverance and determination. I hope this is the first of many more MAC triathlons to come.

I’m reminded every day that there is always something going on at MAC. Whether it’s a Fashion Show, Sprint Triathlon, Family Friday, Group Ex classes, or dinner at the Sunset Bistro, there is something for everyone! A recent Sunday was personally one of my favorite days ever at the club. Lunch was spent in the Sports Pub with my son and his fiancé. We then took in the Timbers match before meeting the rest of the family for a post-match meal back in the pub. It was just a perfect day filled with food, family, excitement, and a ton of laughs. I don’t think I’ve ever been so grateful to be a part of this community!

Campus Master Plan Update Many of you joined the Campus Master Plan (CMP) process last fall and provided ideas on how to address some of the club’s supply and demand problems of today, while keeping an eye on the future. With your help, we created a broad vision during Phase 1, and we’ve moved into the planning phase. Member input is a critical component of the planning process and will help shape the future of the club. Look for updates in a monthly CMP column in The Winged M as we move forward!

I want to finish with a message to all the moms. I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day on May 8. I am looking forward to my daughter celebrating her first Mother’s Day with her husband and their beautiful 9-month-old son. We also will celebrate my 92-year-old mom. Sadly, my mom has Alzheimer’s and gets confused because she remembers my children as little kids, not grown men with beards and my daughter with a baby. While she gets confused easily, she always remembers how much she loves her grandchildren.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I love you!

MANAGER’S COLUMN

S

pring is a time of renewal and hopeful aspirations of as we await the magic of an Oregonian summer. The clubhouse is, likewise, bustling with the sights and sounds of a refreshed Charles Leverton community waking GENERAL MANAGER from another long COVID winter.

Although there is still no shortage of challenges (Who expected snow chains in April?), the club is absolutely buzzing with activity — check-ins are surpassing 2,600 engaged members daily — and the entire staff is truly excited about serving this community.

On that note, I’d like to introduce some new faces to the senior leadership team:

Mary Averette joins MAC’s Executive Leadership Team, reporting directly to me as the director of finance. We are excited for Mary to bring her extensive finance and hospitality background to the club. She served as the director of finance for Kimpton’s regional properties for more than two decades. She will focus on deepening financial partnership with both the membership team and operational staff to evolve our ability to quickly respond operationally without unnecessarily impacting our budgets. She will contribute to updating the club’s finance systems as we look to modernize our analytical and reporting capabilities.

Michael Murphy joins MAC from Bay Club, where he served as senior vice president of operations and general manager.

Michael brings a deep knowledge of leading premium clubs, and he will serve as a key partner in developing the voice of MAC to potential members. As director of membership, a newly created club senior leadership position, he will serve on our engagement leadership team. This emerging club engagement capability is designed to deliver a premium experience throughout the life of a club member. Michael’s role will focus on each member’s journey from the time they show interest through their first-year anniversary at the club. He will also partner closely with operational teams and the Membership Committee to ensure that everyone understands the impact of adding new members on our current club programming and keeps centered on member experiences.

Daniel Newell, our new facilities director, is a retired Navy veteran with deep knowledge creating and leading high-performing teams.

Dan’s initial responsibility will be to partner with the Property Committee to ensure we have a comprehensive strategy to maintain our aging facility. He will also concentrate on supporting MAC’s dedicated staff as they strive daily to maintain the clubhouse. Dan will report directly to John Sterbis, club operations senior director.

his month’s Winged M highlights one of my favorite aspects of the Multnomah Athletic Club — the value of sport for members of all ages and abilities!

As you read the various stories in this issue, you will see the true beauty and power of sport.

Valerie Cleary

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

While the spirit of competition drives my love of sports (I won second place in our MAC March Madness Bracket, four places above Charles), it is genuinely inspiring to watch how sports shape the overall development of an individual. Here at MAC, sports and a commitment to fitness also drive the heart of our community.

Research on the impact of athletics is found in nearly every sector of our society.

Health & Wellness The health benefits of athletic participation are plentiful. Active people and communities have lower smoking, obesity, and heart disease rates. Additionally, sports have a positive impact on mental health.

Additionally, sports participation at a young age is a predictor of life-long healthy choices.

Adolescents who play sports are eight times as likely to be active at age 24 as adolescents who do not play sports (Sports Participation as Predictors of Participation in Sports and Physical Fitness Activities in Young Adulthood, Perkins, 2004).

As an athletic club, a commitment to health is not isolated to the Fitness Room or competitive teams. In partnership with committees, MAC’s leadership team strives to prioritize health and wellness in every area. For example, the Food & Beverage team provides numerous healthy pre- and post-workout options in Joe’s. Grab a green smoothie after your next practice or workout!

Education My passion for athletics was ignited during my role as an academic advisor and life skills coordinator at Boise State University. I was amazed by the commitment it takes to be a student athlete! I saw student athletes utilizing the skills gained through sport — time management, organization, dedication — and

It is an exciting opportunity to work with our competitive sports team coaches and recreational program supervisors as they cultivate our youngest athletes. I have overheard conversations during practices about how school is going, encouraging athletes to prioritize academics, and even witnessed study sessions occurring in the Junior Lounge before practice.

On a personal note, one of my most significant sources of pride is seeing two Boise State student-athlete alums and MAC members, Raquel and Paul Noonan, introducing their two young children to the world of sport through MAC programs. Talk about a fullcircle moment!

Business Lastly, the benefit of sports is felt within the business sector. Simply put, sports create leaders and team players.

In a 2015 study of 400 female C-Suite executives, it was found that more than half (52%) played sport at the university level, and 80% of female Fortune 500 executives played competitive sports at some point in their lives.

Overall, Fortune estimates that 95% of its Fortune 500 CEOs played sports.

These are powerful statistics.

Korn Ferry’s Evelyn Orr shared that the highest-performing women CEOs distinguish themselves from average CEOs by the following traits, which I believe are easily applied to all who participate in sports: Nerves of steel. Courage and willingness to take risks while displaying resilience and confidence.

Bold anticipation. Great situational selfawareness, tolerance of ambiguity, and the ability to act.

Drive to win. Driven by challenge with a need for achievement with a strong foundation in collaboration.

I gather that in 1891, the members of the Portland Football and Cricket team exhibited these traits as they founded this great athletic club. And I am willing to make a friendly competitive wager that members with these traits and a love for sports will continue to proudly wear the Winged M for the next 131 years. Go MAC! MAY 2022

FACES OF MAC As businesses go, Plants By People is still a sapling, but the member-owned company has been experiencing a serious growth spurt recently. In mid-April, founder Jing DiPiero appeared on KOIN TV’s Thirsty Thursday segment to promote her line of organic, vegan, nonallergenic beverage blends. Plants By People also was nominated for BevNET’s Best of 2021 Awards, just made its debut at Market of Choice locations around Oregon, not to mention MAC’s own Mporium, and is set to be available for tasting at World Foods Portland in the Pearl from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, May 5.

“COVID changed our lives in every single way. With more time on my hands, and reflecting how I could use my medical education experience to help more people, I founded Plants By People,” DiPiero says. The company was formed in September 2020, and she says that it took 10 months just to finalize the products, supply chain, production methods, and brand identity, with online sales starting less than a year ago, in 2021.

Now, with May being Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the time is ripe for expanding awareness of her beverage blends, which are grounded in the principles of traditional herbal remedies and the quest to increase “Qi” or vital energies. DiPiero grew up in Beijing, China, which she describes as “the capital of holistic medicine and culinary art.”

“My heritage has taught me to respect nature, live in harmony with myself and my environment, and be patient and humble. I certainly have a long journey ahead of me to continue to learn and improve,” she says, laughing. Plants By People’s five flavors — Bloom, Glow, Harmony, Shine, and Thrive, each formulated to affect the mood and energy in their own ways — were created by company food scientists in conjunction with the National University of Natural Medicine to be socially responsible, convenient, and versatile.

DiPiero says she regularly carries packets in her purse when traversing the labyrinth of MAC, a club that has quickly grown to feel like home since she joined late in 2020. “I feel positive energy when I am at MAC, and I love being a member of the community. We all desire to stay healthy, strong, and active. Depending on my mood, the flavor I crave, and the health benefit I am seeking at the moment, I make different choices. Before Zumba class with Andrea [Sexton], I know it will be a total body workout to keep up with her, so I usually mix a cup of Shine cleansing blend. Before Pilates, I like to drink Harmony to relax.”

Poetry can be delightful to read, but the same can’t always be said for composing it. “While I get much joy from sharing the tools of poetry writing, the actual process of creating a poem is not always a joy. Often, it’s a lot of work. Hard labor.

But I love the work,” says Mary Gray. After 10 years of teaching her craft at the Portland Art Museum, the author and lifetime MAC member — her husband even proposed to her here! — has brought her expertise to the club community in the form of beginner and intermediate poetry writing classes.

“Poetry is unique in communication because every poem starts with an emotion and forms

itself around that emotion.

I think of a poem as a living, breathing thing. If you’re good to it, it will be good to you,” Gray says. “Unlike prose, poetry is like music, with its own rhythms and cadences. In fact, the first poems were sung and chanted. The ancients would sit around the fire and chant. Poetry’s cadence comes from music. If you want to write poetry, just as if you wanted to play the piano, you must learn how to play the instrument. You have to learn the basics, which is what we do in my Basic Poetry Writing class. I give students the tools to make the music.”

Gray says she can’t remember a time when she wasn’t reading or writing the artform, and recalls a memorable experience at age 11, when her sister thought Mary was talking

to herself. It turned out she was memorizing William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116.

“One of the extra special things about poetry is how it pushes you to see the world with more clarity. Almost in technicolor. You notice things you never saw before,” Gray adds. “I regularly bring an artifact to class — a prompt: a vase, a flower, a statue — anything to stimulate my students’ creative juices. Each person responds uniquely. When I bring in a small wooden horse, some person has a memory of riding horses — another person a completely different response.”

Those considering taking one of Gray’s classes can get a taste of her work in the book, The Shadow of My Hand, currently for sale at the Mporium. It’s inspired by the birds who reside around her home in Oysterville, Washington. Her newest collection, Sonnets to Small Things, is scheduled to release this summer.

Giving and Growing for the Greater Good MAF’s Youth Grant Initiative inspires new opportunities

By Jake Ten Pas May Day has traditionally celebrated the arrival of a warmer, more colorful season with dancing, singing, and sweet treats. Its roots lay in honoring the Roman goddess of flowers, and bloom-bedecked crowns still grace the heads of May Queens across Europe and around the world.

It seems symbolic, then, that the Multnomah Athletic Foundation begins accepting applications for its Youth Grant Initiative (YGI) on Sunday, May 1. Speaking with past and current participants, it’s clear that the program leads to abundant personal growth both in the youth it benefits and the tweens who administer the awarding of the funds. As the foundation’s generosity makes it possible for more kids to find their place in the sun, learning about leadership, communication, and changing the world helps the grant-givers to bloom into the best versions of themselves.

Each year, YGI teaches curious and passionate seventh and eighth graders about community involvement through hands-on philanthropy. Program participants create positive change by awarding $5,000 in grants to area nonprofits. The inaugural cohort made its first gift in 2017, and one of its members, Simone Guite, speaks eloquently about the ways in which the experience changed her life trajectory.

“The impact that I was able to make by granting money through MAF made a really big difference in my community, and I don’t assume I’ll have another similar opportunity again,” Guite says. “The leadership and communications skills that I gained were very helpful. A lot of YGI is exploring different philanthropic ideas and some of the principles behind them. Learning how to talk in front of a room full of people whom you don’t know at first, including both fellow students and adults, was incredibly eye-opening.”

Simone Guite Guite has her sights set on someday becoming a federal congresswoman, a road which she imagines running through law school. Without her participation in MAF’s program, she’s not sure this passion for helping others in a public form would have manifested itself.

“When I joined YGI, I started improving my communication skills, which led me to breaking out of my shell and joining Speech & Debate at Cleveland High School. That led to the Constitution Team, where I really got into law and government, and I realized that was the best place for me to put my argumentative skills into action,” she says.

“I used to be a very introverted person. I don’t know what path I would be on right now if I hadn’t opened up with YGI and become comfortable with public speaking.

Sitting down with a group of my peers, stating my opinions, and sharing different views on the organizations we were considering sometimes put me in an uncomfortable place, but it all worked out in the end.”

Guite’s cohort awarded its grant to Girls Inc., a nonprofit that offers research-based programming to youth ages 6-18. The organization’s focus is on holistic development, supporting, mentoring, and guiding participants in an affirming, pro-girl environment.

“When you think about giving back, there are so many routes that you can go, but YGI broke it down simply. Oftentimes taking that first step can be very overwhelming, especially as a young kid. You think, ‘I don’t have money, so I can’t do anything.’ That’s not true.

Time and talent are both treasures that can be given to those in need,” Guite explains. “[YGI] also opened my eyes to a problem that a lot of people might not be aware of — youth not having access to sports. Coming from a fairly privileged position, I always had access to sports, but for a lot of kids, that’s not the case. That can be due to monetary concerns or Continued on page 19

Continued from page 17 disability; sports aren’t always accommodating of that. Kids being able to participate in sports can have a really big impact on the world because it’s good for both mental and physical health, as well as building teamwork skills.”

One of this year’s YGI cohort members, Brady Vinh, concurs. An eighth-grader at All Saints School, Vinh also swims for MAC, and says that competing in the pool also pushes him to step up his game in the classroom.

Vinh first learned about the YGI during a trip to the club with his dad, and he says the decision to get involved was a no-brainer.

“When I heard about giving to others through nonprofits, I was like, ‘Yeah! I really want to do this.’ We are helping people who don’t have as much money to play sports, and as an athlete, that’s definitely something I care about.”

Vinh’s YGI cohort gave to Adelante Mujeres, an organization that empowers young Latinas to lead through providing athletic opportunities and more, as well as Hoop.Camp, which invites all ages of people with special needs to play basketball in a developmental setting.

Brady Vinh swims for MAC. Hoop.Camp also invited Vinh and his dad, John, to join them at a Portland State University basketball game, where they met the nonprofit’s executive director and watched the athletes have a blast running up and down the court at halftime.

“It was awesome,” Brady says. “They looked like they were having so much fun. I think

they enjoyed it more than any other kids or adults I’ve ever seen enjoy basketball.”

Like Guite, Vinh also says YGI helped him grow as a person, teaching valuable skills that have positively impacted his approach to interacting with others. “It helped me be Continued on page 21

MAF Tributes Honor someone special or memorialize someone who has passed away by making a tribute gift to the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Tributes are typically noted as memorial, anniversary, get well, birthday, or recognition.

May tributes are listed below, with the honored individuals’ names in bold.

more patient and taught me that people have different styles of communication. For example, some people are loud, while I like to listen to others before I give my opinion. It also gave me confidence. At school, no one usually wants to go first when you’re speaking in front of the whole class. A while back, I actually volunteered to go first when we were reading our essays, which I would not have ever done if it wasn’t for YGI.” Guite describes the program as the perfect combination of adult coaching and the limitless horizons of childhood. Getting involved is a chance to put youthful energy to work in a setting where professionals can guide it to fulfill its greatest potential.

Arley Kangas (memorial) Ron and Ann Emmerson

“At a young age, you’re in your own little world, and your imagination runs wild. Adults sometimes get caught up in thinking about why things might fail. Kids are looking to why things might succeed. That’s exemplified in YGI. You come in with big hopes, and think, ‘We can give all this money to so many deserving people. This is going to be amazing.’ You’re ready to make a big impact, but you also have to learn to think critically and choose between worthy organizations and that process can be difficult. But I love to learn and grow, and sharing opportunities with others was one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

Applications for Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Youth Grant Initiative are due by 11:59 p.m. Thursday, May 26.

IN MEMORIAM Robert “Bob” Ernest Bauer July 21, 1935-Dec. 20, 2021

Robert “Bob” Ernest Bauer, a longtime MAC member, was born on July 21, 1935, in Portland to Albert and Myrtle Bauer. He passed away Dec. 20, 2021, with family by his side.

He attended Beaumont grade school and graduated from Grant High School. He went on to graduate with a degree in business administration from Oregon State University, where he made lifelong friends in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

He married Betty June Silva in September 1957. Bob worked for General Electric in management for several years living in Maryland and Florida. In 1972 he and Betty purchased the Portland-based company Peterson Industrial Products and returned home for their next chapter.

Bob was active in the community, serving on many boards of directors: OMSI, Columbia River Girl Scout Council and Foundation, the Salvation Army, the Oregon Maritime Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, Oregon State University College of Business, and the OSU Foundation. He loved telling people that there were four generations of Bauer’s who graduated from Oregon State.

Bob enjoyed being a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, the Lang Syne Society, the Quarterly Club, the Oregon Duck Hunters Association, and Hilaire’s Wild Game Dinner.

Anyone one who knew Bob knew he loved hunting, fishing, clamming, and crabbing.

As a proud Eagle Scout, any outdoor activity brought him joy — especially the many activities on the Pendleton Ranch and the annual elk hunting trips with his family and friends.

Bob loved to travel around the United States and the world with Betty by his side, and spending time at their beach house in Neskowin with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife of almost 65 years, Betty, three children, Kimberly Shick (Brian), Michael (Claressa), Erich (Tami); seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.

A private family internment was held in December and a celebration of his life was held in February at MAC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Oregon Historical Society or Oregon State University College of Business.

Ruth McKinlay Taylor Brodeur August 1932-February 2022

Smart, witty, devilish, and loyal, Ruth McKinlay Taylor Brodeur lived her life full of laughter, compassion, and among loving friends and family. Ruth was born in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada in August 1932, the only child of Gordon and May Blossom Taylor. She died Feb. 19, 2022.

When Ruth was 6 years old, the family moved to the small, town of Farnham, Quebec. She learned to speak French, or at least a solid repertoire of street slang.

Opportunities unfolded often for this young, ambitious scholar from the Eastern Townships. At a young age, she would ride the train alone from Farnham to Montreal to attend Westmount High. As an excellent student, she received a full scholarship to McGill University. Never one to sit on the sidelines, she became president of the Women’s Union and graduated early with distinguished honors and a major in geography. It was on the student council that she met her future husband of 59 years, Michael Toner Hope Brodeur. And as Ruth often commented, “He was never boring.”

Strong and determined, she was always an advocate for women’s rights, paving the way for future generations to work outside the home. When she was prohibited due to her gender from working “in the field” at her first job, she changed her career path from geography to social work, pursuing a master’s in social work from McGill.

As a young social worker, she believed the first two years were critical in child development and chose to put her career on hold until her three girls were of school age. Once full time, she worked double duty, planning out months’ worth of menus and relying on the I Hate to Cook Book to get dinner on the table by 7. Truth be told, she was an amazing cook, with braised oysters and herb crusted prime rib as her signature dishes.

Her life’s work revolved around children, whether raising her own three girls, placing newborns with their adoptive families, or eventually creating the Washington County Project, diverting youth at risk from juvenile detention and placing them in foster care.

Adventurous and always challenging herself, she learned to ski in her 20s. For someone who was “unathletic,” she hiked, biked, traveled extensively, sailed, and took up walking long distances, including the New York and Portland marathons with the Early Birds at Multnomah Athletic Club.

Once retired, her focus was on her eight grandchildren, attending graduations and important events, babysitting for long stretches with grandma Jan, and watching local soccer and tennis matches.

Stylish from head to toe, her hair and nails changed with the trends, but her heart was always on her sleeve.

Even in the confined space of Memory Care at The Springs in Lake Oswego, she was a huge presence. Her inner beauty and sense of humor will be remembered by all. She was well loved and adored by anyone who had the opportunity to meet her. She will be missed.

Ruth is predeceased by her husband Michael Toner Hope Brodeur. She is survived by her three daughters, Penelope Hannegan (David), Mimi Legro (Richard) and Lisa Whitlock (Michael); grandchildren, Andrew, Ellen, Nicole, and Elizabeth Legro; Taylor and Chris Hannegan; and Madeline and Isabelle Whitlock.

In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to Alzheimer’s Association, alz.org.

Robin Joy Mesher July 6, 1938-Feb. 3, 2022

Robin Joy (Vidgoff ) Mesher died peacefully in her sleep at her home Feb. 3, 2022. She was 83 years old. She was surrounded with love by her entire family, and she was elegant, beautiful, and graceful until the very end. Robin died of complications related to kidney failure, but she fought and battled courageously.

Robin Mesher was a SW Portland girl her entire life, but her reach had no borders. She attended (the original) Catlin Gabel grade school and then Lincoln High School, where she was in the first graduating class (1956) of the current building on SW Salmon Street.

She enrolled at the University of Washington, but left after one term to go to Eugene and the University of Oregon where she could be with a young man she was dating named Robert “Bob” Mesher. Bob and Robin were married in 1958, and raised two children, Page and Tracy.

In 1972, Robin combined her lifelong love of fashion and savvy business instincts and opened her first clothing store as a T-shirt and jeans retailer in Seaside, Oregon, called The Cover Up. She was a pioneer at the time

— a woman small business owner — and she absolutely refused to be told that a man had to co-sign for any of her business contracts.

The Mesher family apologizes today for her behavior and language to the various men who attempted to bring this up to her in those days. Her retail career lasted until the early 1990s, and she owned and operated 11 women’s clothing stores under the names of The Petite Woman’s Shoppe; Tracy Robbins; JB Robbins; and The Oswego Woman’s Shoppe, in Portland, Salem, Corvallis, Albany, and Eugene. She worked the buying offices of New York City and Los Angeles for merchandise and inventory, and her stores were upscale and distinct for their quality and selections.

Robin Mesher was a lover of music from jazz, Broadway, and Frank Sinatra to the Rolling Stones (who she saw in concert at age 81), and she loved to travel with Bob. They traveled the world together and made friends on every trip or cruise, but their favorite retreat was always their beach house on the South Prom in Seaside, which they bought in 1965.

She and Bob have been Oregon football season ticket holders since 1980, and she loved a good tailgate party as long as Bob didn’t eat too many ribs. She was passionate in her

unwavering dedication and love for children’s charities, education and the arts, as she served on the boards of Young Audiences of Oregon, Boys & Girls Aid, Lincoln High School Alumni Association, and Albertina Kerr.

There was not an art museum that she did not want to visit, nor a child that she did not want to stop and engage with. She had a strong, outgoing dynamic personality that never slowed down and she lovingly passed that on to her children and their families.

Robin was preceded in death by her parents, Abe and Sally Vidgoff; and by her brother, Sheldon Vidgoff. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Robert “Bob” Mesher; and their two children, Page (Lynn) Mesher, and Tracy (Robert) Moir. She leaves behind five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who loved her dearly: Lauren (Alex) Robinson; Jacqualyn (Marcus) Lefton; Harrison Moir; Paige Claire “PC” Mesher; Sydney Mesher, and Finn and Tatum Robinson.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Robin’s memory may be made to Young Audiences of Oregon, or to the Robert & Robin Mesher Scholarship Fund at the University of Oregon, where they were lifetime Ducks.

Mindful Eating

By Dr. Lindsey Nelson

D

id you know that humans spend about 4.5 years of their lives eating? That doesn’t include grocery shopping, prepping, cooking, and everything else that is involved in feeding ourselves. Eating can be a joyous, celebratory time, but how often are we putting food in our mouths because we are hungry without really thinking about what we are eating?

Forty-two percent of adults worldwide are dieting at any given time, but only 20% successfully maintain the weight loss. Restricting calories, only eating certain foods, or fasting for hours at a time isn’t a very enjoyable way of maintaining weight. What if the high failure rate of keeping weight off is because we don’t consciously eat and enjoy our food?

What were you doing the last time you ate? I know I am so guilty of mindless eating, especially since COVID. I frequently walk into the kitchen and grab a handful of nuts or some snack item and shove it into my mouth without even registering what I’ve done. Let me tell you, those little handfuls add up at the end of a week or a month.

Many patients who come to see me about weight loss aspirations or blood sugar or digestion issues are surprised that I ask so much detail about what, where, and how they eat. So many people take most of their meals while driving, watching a show, scrolling through social media, or working at their desk. In fact, 66% of U.S. residents spend their lunch quickly eating at their desk, which doesn’t sound enjoyable or memorable.

Numerous small studies have shown that mindful eating helps improve blood sugar balance, digestion, and healthy weight. Mindful eating is basically doing nothing other than eating while you eat.

Adapted from the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, which involves being fully aware of what is happening within and around you in the moment. When applied to eating, it involves using your five senses to be cognizant of foods’ colors smells, flavors, and textures.

Here are a few more tips for mindful eating:

Don’t Skip Meals If you sit down to eat when ravenously hungry, it’s going to be hard to appreciate your food.

Take Small Bites Eat slowly and allow yourself time to fully taste the food in your mouth. This will help you recognize when you are satisfied and 80% full. Try setting a timer to 20 minutes and taking that time to eat a normal-sized meal. Other tricks for slowing down are eating with your non-dominant hand, and, if you are not adept at using chopsticks, replacing traditional silverware with them.

Appreciate Your Food Recognize that your food is nourishing you and be grateful for that.

Mindfulness is all about holding awareness in the moment. Try chewing 25 times before swallowing each bite. At the very minimum, get rid of distractions such as watching TV or reading.

Think Before Grabbing Food Before opening the fridge or pantry and grabbing something without thought, stop and check in with your internal world. One acronym that is taught in addiction therapy is H.A.L.T. Before reaching for a drink, addicts need to check in with themselves — are they Hungry? Angry?

Lonely? Tired? I would say the same applies to why we frequently choose to eat or not eat something. I’d probably put tired/bored and lonely/sad. Mindful eating means looking at your emotions or reactivity and making a choice based on that. If your desire is not about hunger, do something else more appropriate for the desire.

Logan Patrick joined MAC in January and teaches Restorative Yoga, with the occasional gentle class thrown in.

What’s your background/training?

I have spent time with some incredible teachers (Kristy Harvey, Rose Schneider, Casey Palmer, Lesley Anderson, Kristi Strong, and Brant Rogers) studying different modalities of mindfulness through movement. I am a certified 500-hour yoga teacher and am nearing the end of a master’s degree in social and behavioral sciences.

Can you describe your teaching approach/philosophy?

My motto is “Life moves fast, your yoga practice doesn’t have to.” I am interested in the polyvagal and nervous systems states and tend to offer classes that allow students to move slowly and breathe deeply in order to strengthen polyvagal tone and nurture increased parasympathetic activation. (Nerdy, I know, it is a lot more intuitive in a gentle/ restorative movement class than it sounds on paper!)

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

Sports Enhance Every Season of Life From recreation to competition, MAC is everywhere members want to be.

By Jake Ten Pas

E

ach MAC department is the club community in miniature — offering chances to recreate, refine skills, and compete — even if some are less miniature than others. Aquatics, Tennis, and Gymnastics are all huge programs, meeting and sometimes exceeding member needs by constantly readjusting staffing levels and offerings.

While fewer members might take advantage of the club’s comprehensive — and in the Portland area, downright rare — squash progression, talking with just one family shows the ways in which it fosters play, practice, and a drive for perfection.

“I’ve been playing squash for just about four years now. My son and daughter stumbled into this sport quite by accident a few years back, and it was infectious watching them have so much fun!” says Ashok Muralidaran, father of Kavya (10) and Siddharth (14). “Another huge draw was it being a lifelong sport with both singles and doubles options that cater to different levels and abilities.

“I deeply value the friendships I have made in the squash circle. For instance, a group of us kept in touch with each other all through the worst part of the pandemic and started right where we left once the restrictions were eased,” he adds.

The Muralidaran kids first discovered the sport at another local athletic club, but their skill and commitment has only deepened since joining MAC a little more than three years ago. “I started with clinics for about a year and a half, and then I was introduced into competitive squash. I think training at MAC has really improved my squash experience, and I hope to continue learning in this club,” Kavya says. “Werner [Hergeth, Head Coach] and Julian [Illingworth, Squash Pro] are very good at helping, because they teach in a way that people understand. I have learned and progressed a lot with their teaching skills.”

“After a couple of lessons, I realized I quite enjoyed the sport,” the oftunderstated Siddharth, or Sid, adds. “I’ve been doing both clinics and tournaments pretty consistently since then and haven’t really taken a break or stopped playing for a long period of time.”

This fluidity of moving from clinics and lessons to training to competition is a recurring theme throughout MAC, and since coming to the club, Hergeth has sought to make squash more approachable for all.

Recognizing that the sport can be stereotyped as upper-class, or conducive to Ivy League School applications, his goal has been to open the doors wide and make sure that every member knows squash is an option for them.

“I was not exposed to sports much growing up, but I can see how it is shaping my children mentally and physically. It is extremely valuable in shaping one’s character,” says family matriarch and physician Radhika Purushothaman. She’s the only member of the family who doesn’t play

Siddharth, Kavya, and Ashok Muralidaran and Radhika Purushothaman. squash, although she serves as team captain, coordinating their various levels of participation. Plus, finding other ways to enjoy MAC hasn’t been a problem. She regularly uses the Fitness Room, takes Group Ex classes, and meets her family for post-workout meals at the Sports Pub and Joe’s. Still, she says, “My favorite part is the [MAC] Squash community. Everyone is loving, supportive, and just fun to be with.”

Ashok points out that, while his family illustrates the availability of engaging pursuits for multiple ages, he personally has found that the significance of athletics can evolve for each individual as they themselves mature. “I grew up in India playing a lot of cricket and, as a youngster participating in a city league, it was all about competition. With age, the focus has shifted after recognizing the larger value of sports not just as a physical exercise, but also as an important component of mental health and overall wellness. I endeavor to be very mindful on court at the “cutting edge of time” as some Zen masters say!”

“Participating in sports is a great way to maintain and improve one’s physical health, but it also provides an opportunity to challenge oneself mentally and exercise control over emotions. All while allowing athletes to socialize with both teammates and competitors,” says Competitive Climbing Assistant Coach Justin Rom.

MAC Climbing’s setting crew creates new routes twice a week, making sure that members of multiple ability levels always have new adventures to enjoy, or new problems to solve. This reflects a cross-club commitment to maintaining engagement for those at different points on their journey, ensuring the opportunity to advance physically, mentally, and emotionally is ever-present.

“Regardless of their ability, ambitions, and other interests, I make sure that while they’re in the gym they’re having fun while pushing themselves to become better climbers and better people,” Rom says. “I have now worked at the club for over 10 years and am beginning to see members I’ve taught prepare for

Lifelong Value of Sports Is Multifaceted

Women Who Rock program college. It has been truly special to be involved in the lives of so many athletes as I share my passion with them.”

Rom explains that most members begin their involvement with his program by participating in Open Climb, which allows those ages six and older to boulder, and those 13 and older to belay others. Indoor recreational programming begins for youth members at age four and continues into adulthood with the Pump at Lunch and Women Who Rock programs. Outdoor programming begins at age nine and includes MAC’s popular Kayak and Adventure camps.

“Staff often identify youth climbers who participate in multiple class sessions, and

instructors make sure that they continue to be challenged. Staff also communicate with parents to make sure that any interested members are aware of the competitive team, the commitments that come with joining, and expectations of athletes on the team,” Rom continues. “Once interest and drive have been established, we as coaches reach out to discuss their climbing goals and determine how to best go about bringing them on to the team.”

Whether members progress in their climbing skills solely for the fun of the sport or choose to hunker down and go the competitive route, instructors make sure everyone sees a path forward in their future.

The recently expanded Climbing Gym serves as a backdrop for a community in which many goals coexist, and those pushing themselves to reach differing destinations support each other along the way.

“The gym staff and team coaches get to know members and always encourage them to challenge themselves. The multigenerational loyalty of the membership, combined with the uncommonly long tenure of staff, create a unique environment for athletes of all ages and ability levels to be a part of.”

Something powerful and beautiful is rising from the ashes across our state. Our communal hardship has rekindled in us one of our greatest and most unifying strengths — kindness.

So elemental, yet so brave. Awakened by an urgent need for connection and compassion. Kindness has inspired us to listen. To learn. To lend a hand. To take care of each other.

Now we have the opportunity to keep it lit. Let’s not let it smolder. Let’s fan the embers in our hearts. Let’s keep kindness at the forefront of our lives, and live as open examples of it. Kindness inspires kindness. And here, in our Oregon, that is what makes us —

Fitness & Training for Every Member When you serve ages 14-100, “Interests are many!,” says Interim Fitness & Wellness Manager Maddy Sweeney. “They can include ‘just getting out of the house,’ starting a new journey, recovery from injury, athletic performance development, social experience, Group Exercise class participation, weight loss/ health improvement, trying out something new, working out with a friend or personal trainer, small group training (Pro classes), and/or utilizing recovery tools (Normatec and Hyperice equipment). Recreational and competitive goals all live in MAC fitness spaces!”

Sweeney describes one member’s journey to illustrate what this might look like.

Said member begins with the general goal of someone keeping her accountable so she can lose body fat, get stronger, and feel better about herself. Over time, she gets stronger, feels more confident, and begins making lifestyle changes like walking every day. She decides to try running a couple of miles casually on the weekends with friends outside of regular personal training. Seeing the progress and benefits of strength and mobility training and how her energy has increased, pain has subsided, and enjoyment of activity has grown, she decides to join her friends in training for their first 10k together!

All this allows her personal training sessions to be more directed toward increasing performance while maintaining the progress that was built over the prior months. She supplements her personal training sessions with a Spin class to cross train and relieve her joints from the impact of running. The importance of recovery is now understood and embraced.

That leads to massage and yoga on Wednesday mornings. Soon, she runs her first 10k and realizes that crossing the finish line is much more than that moment, but is really a compilation of all of the work that was put in during the prior months or years.

“What started out as seeking accountability with a personal trainer has turned into finishing her first race and being much more autonomous and confident in health and wellness,” Sweeney says. “Fitness and wellness blend the physical, mental, emotional, physiological, and spiritual. When you adjust one of the dials, the others shift with it. I believe that we all go through different seasons of our life that challenge us to navigate what ‘health and wellness’ means to us at different times. The goal is creating a lifestyle that works for you.”

Continued on page 48

Everyone enters these areas with individual goals, and Sweeney says her staff try to meet them where they are. “We continue to build our Personal Training team with a wide variety of skill sets and backgrounds to help serve the diverse

goals of each person. Additionally, our Group Ex and Pro class schedules are designed with this in mind as we feel it is important to offer a spectrum of intensities and formats to cater towards a variety of objectives. We try to offer as many beginner, intermediate, and advanced class options as possible to help everyone feel welcome. The total wellness approach that we can offer at MAC is unique.”

Toes Dipped, Safety Equipped & Expectations Flipped According to the Theory of Evolution, humankind’s amphibious ancestors first crawled out of the oceans somewhere around 400 million years ago. Evidently, the pull of the water is tough to shake! Thousands of millennia later, MAC members return to the club’s pools for reasons less numerous than the species spawned by those first brave land explorers, but still impressive.

“One of the most in-demand programs at MAC is swimming lessons,” says Aquatics Manager Joshua Udermann. “We place significant resources and staff in this area, and we now offer more than 750 spots weekly. Part of our programming goals are to create stability and predictability so that all members can easily access aquatics.

“Our programming starts with parentchild ‘Big Fish, Little Fish’ and Infant Swim Resource classes. Parents and caregivers simply being present, and in the water playing with kids at a young age, helps to build their confidence and comfort in the water.

Beyond the youth competitive teams, we start to look at some of the adult programming that is available, including Lap Swim, Water Polo, Masters Swim, Water Volleyball, adult lessons, and Water Fitness classes,” Udermann elaborates.

Coaches host short try-out sessions to further verify that the swimmer is ready to make the move from lessons to the competitive team. “The transition from lessons to competitive programming can seem daunting, but coaches and staff attempt to make it as seamless as possible for the participant and parents,” Udermann says.

He also points out that the value of aquaticbased activities goes beyond exercise, safety, and competition. “While you can work-out vigorously in the water, it can also be a source of recovery. Being able to stretch out sore muscles, having a no-impact workout on knees and joints, and disconnection from technology are all some of the joys and recovery that swimming can bring.

“The inclusive nature of aquatics is also something that I find very special; individuals who live with a serious injury, physical or mental challenges, and weight-loss battles all can find a place with no judgement. The water can be a place of healing, and I hope that special aspect can be experienced by all without fear or anxiety.”

At 3 years old, Guppy was enrolled in ballet at MAC, a pursuit she’d maintain at the club and Oregon Ballet School through age 16. Although she describes herself as being “super bad at sports,” she also participated in gymnastics as a girl, and eventually got into cheerleading in high school and college. After graduating from Santa Clara University with a bachelor’s of science in mechanical engineering, and having built a submarine as her senior design project, she resurfaced at MAC as part of the Gymnastics Masters program.

“When I started gymnastics for the second time in my 20s, I would always say, ‘I could go to LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, or a place like that, but the thing that has inspired my whole life has been when you go to the basement, and you see everybody working out. There are always those much more mature people who still look amazing, and that is so inspiring. I’d always wanted to be that person.

“At the time, I was the youngest in the Masters program, and now I’m the oldest, so it’s come full circle.”

Nearly every stage of Guppy’s life has unfolded against the backdrop of MAC, and she now enjoys sharing it with her two kids, Coleman (8) and Lincoln (13). “I take my big boy down for climbing, and then the little guy goes jogging on the indoor track. We do TRX and pushups, and maybe hit the speed bag.

Sometimes the volleyball girls are on the track with us, and there are folks of varying ages and skill levels playing and shooting hoops below on the basketball court. I love the energy!”

From playing basketball to swimming, Guppy says the club offers so many ways to help her burn through her children’s apparently endless stores of energy. When child care is needed, it’s there for her, and she says that the club is a great place for kids to learn socialization and etiquette, since there are so many inspiring adult figures on hand. “Something Continued on page 52

Dina Guppy on balance beam.

Continued from page 50 the MAC has done recently that I’m so thrilled about is they have expanded the hours of the Sun Deck Pool. Sometimes, on the weekend, when you’re wondering, ‘Did we get out enough?’ We can always go to the Sun Deck Pool, and you can call your friends and have them come down and bring their kids. The whole club, it’s like our own little play area.”

On a personal level, Guppy not only maintains space in her life for fitness, but lets it guide her to increased performance and a sense of well-being. Because staying fit makes her happy, she eats better, and is aware of her body in ways those not similarly dedicated to athletics might not recognize. Her keen attunement to energy levels allowed her to get chronic fatigue syndrome quickly diagnosed, and when she experienced increased wrist inflammation, it led to dietary choices that freed her to keep chasing her athletic objectives.

“I can’t even imagine what my quality of life would be if I didn’t have fitness in it,” she says. “When I have injuries, I know they’re going to heal because that’s a priority for me, and the joy that comes from that helps guide me through so many decisions in my life.”

One such choice led Guppy to compete in all-around (vault, beam, bars, and floor) in gymnastics at the Oregon State Games in 2019, and she plans on continuing to compete in gymnastics.

“The happiness that comes from having a tangible goal and achieving it, whether it’s a new gymnastics trick or learning to play guitar, which I did during the pandemic, can’t be quantified.

I’m more in tune with my body, and I know what it needs as a result of my 30-plus years of gymnastics at MAC, whether that’s yoga or just meditation. Regardless of the avenue, MAC has allowed me to boost my lifelong fitness, which improves every aspect of how I live. It’s a beyond-priceless gift!” WM

MAC ETIQUETTE

In Fitness Spaces The recent remodel of basement-level fitness spaces, including the Fitness Room, has led to a boom in usage — from returning members to new and younger members utilizing the spaces for the first time. Given this wonderful increase in volume, the Fitness team thought it time to share reminders with all members about etiquette.

Cleanliness Cleanliness and organization of a fitness space is always the first hurdle to address.

Members are asked to please clean off the equipment/machines after they have finished using them. There are wipe bins, as well as a spray cleaner and paper towels, available at different stations throughout the rooms.

Additionally, once a piece of equipment has been cleaned off, it should be returned to its

original location. For example, if a bike or set of dumbbells are removed from the Stadium Studio, make sure to return the pieces after using them. And remember to please put used gym towels in the designated towel bins after use.

It is understood that many people watch or listen to their phones for workout information and music. Members are asked to be cognizant of others who might be trying to get their attention and ask to use a piece of equipment between their sets.

Equipment Use

Attire and Cellphone Use

There are no reservations for using equipment in the fitness spaces. Outside of occasional classes held near the turf area, where specific equipment is needed, members have free use of the fitness spaces and the equipment in them during operating hours.

Please be accommodating to peers and allow others to work on a machine when you are between sets, especially during highvolume times.

Fitness has many looks, including attire.

Please remember that closed-toed athletic shoes must be worn while working out in any of MAC’s fitness spaces. For certain lifts and movements, it’s understandable to be barefoot. For example, for some Olympic or power lifting sets, it is biomechanically beneficial to train without shoes, however, once one’s sets are complete, and before moving about, please put shoes back on.

In Group Exercise Classes Music, community, and skilled instructors providing encouragement throughout a workout are just a few of the reasons why MAC’s Group Exercise classes are popular!

From HIIT to BarreFit, the club offers 113 free classes per week. Following a few simple guidelines keeps them safe, fun, and inclusive!

Before Class Many Group Exercise classes use equipment and require some set up. Please plan to arrive five minutes early for class, but don’t worry about taking someone’s spot. There are no reserved spaces in Group Ex classes. Please be mindful of everyone’s space, and flexible too. The instructors can see everyone in class, no matter where they stand.

54 | The Wınged M |

MAY 2022

Instructors indicate what equipment is needed at the beginning of each class. Please wear proper footwear to classes; this is part of one’s “equipment.” When new to a class, introduce yourself to your instructor before class. Save in-depth conversations or questions for after so class can start on time.

A proper warm up is crucial to any workout, including in Group Exercise classes.

Don’t arrive more than 15 minutes late for any Group Exercise class.

During Class Cellphone use — ­ for texting or calls — is not allowed during class. The practice is not only distracting to others, but can result in missing important cues and instructions from the teacher. Also, keep this in mind when

chatting with another student during class.

Encouragement is always welcomed, but conversations that take longer than a highfive should be saved for after class.

Everyone should listen to their body.

Instructors offer modifications throughout class; choose the modifications that work for that particular day. How one felt last week isn’t relevant, it’s how the body feels in the present that matters. Also, stay hydrated!

Ultimately, it’s about having fun. MAC is a community and Group Exercise classes are all about taking enjoyment from time working out with others.

AT H L E T I C S

Cellphone conversations are not permitted on the fitness floor. If necessary, please step out into the designated cell phone area, which is right next to the West elevator, outside of the main Fitness Room doors.

Staff will ask members to leave the fitness areas if they are not in proper attire or asked to step out to finish a phone call.

We’re Here to Help You Get There

Moving with Kindness Please engage the Fitness attendants with any questions or concerns. The staff is here to assist members with their everyday fitness needs and inquiries. The attendants are valued team members who keep club spaces running and should be always treated respectfully.

Kindness should be part of everyone’s movement in fitness!

There’s a difference between understanding your vision and making your vision happen. At Key Private Bank, our wealth management team works with you to help you get where you want to go. Whether you’re across the table or across town, we act as an extension of you, navigating the road ahead, so you can focus on what’s important. We see your potential.

Put your plan into action. Contact Your Key Private Bank Team at 503-790-7622 or visit key.com/kpb today.

After Class Everyone likes a clean and nice space; help keep it that way. Place used towels in proper towel bins, and please put equipment back in the proper place. As a courtesy to others, wipe down any sweat spots you see after class.

Keep in Mind Just like everyone has a different taste in music, not every class is right for everybody, which is why MAC offers a variety of classes.

Trying different offerings is the best way to learn the styles of class one likes best. MAC classes are coded by intensity, but keep in mind that intensity is dependent on the individual, and the effort physically and mentally one puts into it. Mixing up workouts is crucial, and this includes intensity.

Volleyball Is Back and on the Road Again After two years of mask mandates, no traveling tournaments, and no spectators, the club volleyball season is back into full swing and showing no signs of slowing down! MAC Volleyball families and staff have jumped into the busy shuffle of the season and are thrilled to be back.

This season alone, MAC’s top traveling teams (18 Black, 15 Black, 14 Black, and 12 Black) are traveling to Arizona, Eugene, Seattle, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Orlando, and Sacramento. In between the outof-town tournaments, all seven teams are participating in local and regional power leagues and friendship tournaments in the Northwest region — from Ridgefield, Washington to Springfield, Oregon.

All tournaments so far have allowed spectators (with just a few facilities that required a spectator limit), which has meant that families and friends have been able to watch their athletes perform in person, versus over a livestream!

MAC’s 2021-2022 volleyball season ends over Memorial Day weekend at the Emerald City Classic, in Lynwood, Washington, and at the Bayview Classic in Sacramento.

Interested in playing volleyball this summer? Volleyball is offering a variety of summer camp options, including ones for beginners, advanced players, and even a camp just for boys in July. Check out the Summer Program Guide (online at themac.com) or email volleyball@ themac.com for more information.

The 14 Red team celebrates going undefeated at their March power league in Vancouver, Washington.

The 18 Black team gets ready for a team outing during their free time in Salt Lake City.

Basketball Expands to Include Travel Program Head Basketball Coach Earl Martin’s vision of turning MAC’s Junior Basketball program into a year-round endeavor has led to the creation of a Junior Basketball Travel Program.

This year, an eighth-grade travel team will represent the club at regional and national tournaments in Washington, California, and Nevada. The plan is to add sixth- and seventh-grade teams next year with more of MAC’s best young players.

This travel extension is completely new to the MAC Basketball program, and there’s plenty of excitement and enthusiasm from the eighth-grade players who are looking forward to competing and leveling up their skills before entering high school.

The MAC Junior Basketball helps athletes develop fundamental skills and grow at all levels. Says coach Martin, “We strive to have a program that offers skilled players an opportunity to compete at the highest levels as well as provide an environment for developing players to improve all-around skills while creating an interest and love for the game.”

Welcome Back Sensei Ted BRANDON DAVIS

After a two-year hiatus, MAC Karate is excited to welcome back Assistant Coach Sensei Ted Chapman. Sensei Ted originally started coaching at MAC in 2019 before COVID-19 restrictions forced classes to an online format and a major staff reorganization.

Chapman is a sandan (third-degree black belt) who started his training at Portland State University in 1978 under Sensei Junki Yoshida — chief instructor for the Japan Karate Federation Northwest ( JKFNW) and head of MAC Karate’s program in the 1970s and ’80s. After a break of several years for school, Chapman returned to Portland and resumed training with JKFNW, earning his shodan (first-degree black belt) in 1991 and promoting to nidan (second-degree black belt) in 1997 and sandan in 2002.

Over the years, Chapman has taught many classes at local JKFNW dojos. He has also competed in multiple tournaments, an experience that he found both exhilarating and educational. He subsequently realized that he also enjoyed the officiating side of tournaments, which he has been doing now for several years.

While speaking about the important role that karate has played in his life, Chapman shared the following story: “My brother and I were not very close growing up (there was quite an age difference), but he always made a point of attending the milestone events in my life: high school graduation, college graduation, and my first black belt promotion. When he arrived at the dojo to watch the promotion [in 1991], I noticed that he had brought his camcorder, and I was very excited! It would be great to have a recording of this most momentous occasion. However, I discovered

He hadn’t taped a single minute!

After passing the test and receiving my sensei’s personal black belt, I was so elated that I could barely contain myself. I showed it to my brother, but all he wanted to know was when I would receive my own belt with my own name on it. My brother did not understand the tremendous honor it is to receive your instructor’s personal black belt. I was his

first student to promote to black belt and join the Yudansha-ka. Of course, it is something that I will never forget.”

MAC Karate Head Coach Sensei Bill Plapinger is excited to have Sensei Ted back on the roster. His additional teaching support means there will be consistency across class sessions and more class availability when Sensei Bill is out of town. Additionally, students get the advantage of the differing insights and expertise each instructor brings to training.

Early Bird Finds Lasting Friendship and Community Sandy Bacon and her family joined MAC in 1987, but her active involvement as an Early Bird kicked into high gear in the mid ’90s. With her career as a nurse in the clinical research program at OHSU, she had a highstress position that begged for an exercise outlet. After trying the other time slots, she found the 5-7:30 a.m. time fit best into her family/work situation.

Within a few short years, she became involved in the Early Bird Committee, which not only introduced her to a broader range of Early Bird programs, but it also expanded her friendships outside the Fitness Room (her favorite workout location). When the last of her children headed off to college, the Early Bird community again filled a gap in her social life, and after her recent retirement, the group replaced her work community as a support group.

Bacon’s daily MAC routine begins with her “helping to unlock the clubhouse at 0500,” and she rarely misses a day. Later, she can be found walking the city streets with a group of Early Bird ladies, who daily solve the world’s most pressing problems. On many days she remains in the Fitness Room taking up a position on the Elliptical or stair climber.

Thankfully, she and others in her group are quick to notice new Early Bird recruits and immediately engage them in conversation.

She encourages new members to join in Early Bird events as a great introduction to the camaraderie and energy of the group.

She is especially proud of her involvement in countless years of the Spook Run/Walk to Lone Fir Cemetery and the Turkey Trot.

She also believes the Early Bird Committee to be the best “first step” for involvement in the committee system and for facilitating use of a broad range of MAC offerings. Meeting others at 5 a.m. “with their hair going in five directions” is a great source of lasting friendships with “real people.”

The approximately 90 entrants came from the MAC and greater Portland squash communities, as well as from Arizona, California, and British Columbia. The quality of play was good, the beer was cold, and squash at MAC felt “normal” again for the first time in quite a while. As always, MAC players did well and achieved impressive results as can be seen at right.

Swimming Class Teaches Lifesaving Skills

“As a father and avid swimmer, I believe that swimming is an essential life skill, and I know many parents agree. Getting the opportunity to teach so many kids valuable swimming skills has been one of the greatest achievements of my life. I will give you an example of what I mean.

This past year, I taught an 18-month-old boy named Tyler how to swim. The first two weeks he would cry during lessons, after all, he was a toddler, and the water was a foreign environment that he was building comfort in. But there is a certain moment in many of my lessons where a child flips the switch and realizes that they now have the skills to swim and roll on their backs to float should they ever need a breath, and swimming becomes

an exciting activity. That moment is my favorite part of teaching! Once my students acquire these skills, they smile and laugh during lessons and often cry when they must get out of the pool. Tyler became a great little swimmer, and the pool became his happy place.

I teach my students that they should never enter the water on their own, and if they are ever in the pool without an adult they should swim back to the wall or roll and float on their backs. Only a month after Tyler’s lessons ended, I received an emotional text message from his mom letting me know that he’d fallen into a pool over the weekend, fully clothed, and swam back to the wall. He saved himself. His skills prevented a nightmare.

This wasn’t the first message I’d received from a parent about their child saving themselves. And while I hope I never receive another message about any child falling into a pool, it likely won’t be the last time I hear about one of my students using their skills in the pool.

The moment when things click and a child’s aquatic skills lead to smiles, reminds me that I have the best job in the world. I hope to get the opportunity to teach your kiddos at MAC!”

INFANT SWIMMING RESOURCE

Founded in 1966, Infant Swimming Resource (ISR), with its Self-Rescue® program, is a nationally recognized provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and young children. Brad Hurvitz, a lifelong swimmer and certified ISR instructor, is coming to MAC this summer to teach a sixweek course for kids ages 6 months to 6 years.

Hurvitz shares a story that illustrates the importance of teaching young children swimming skills.

Infant Swimming Resource Class at MAC Monday-Friday, June 13-July 22 9-11:30 a.m. & 1-4:30 p.m.

Lessons for ages 6-12 months: Focuses on teaching children to roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe, and maintain this life-saving position until help arrives.

Lessons for ages 1-6 years: Focuses on teaching the swim-float-swim survival sequence. Children learn to swim with their heads down, roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe, and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or be rescued.

Each six-week session consists of private lessons five days a week for 10 minutes each. Parents or caregivers may schedule the 10-minute lesson within the 9-11:40 a.m. or 1-4:30 p.m. window. Lessons are scheduled at the same time every day. Please reach out to swimschool@themac.com for questions and to register.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES: SPRING, SUMMER, AND BEYOND

Get Out of Town on Weekend Rides Many members know that MAC Cycling offers weeknight group rides on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but it may not be common knowledge that the committee also hosts longer weekend rides.

These rides are designed to showcase the region’s various landscapes and landmarks, from wooded rail trails to the Columbia River Gorge. They’re all no-drop rides led by experienced cyclists, same as the Wednesday and Thursday rides, and are open to all MAC members and guests.

Sunday, May 22 McMenamins Grand Lodge to Hagg Lake

Saturday, July 23 McMenamins Rock Creek Tavern/ Rocky Point/Logie Trail

A lovely 35-mile route with some rolling hills, starting in Forest Grove. The loop around Henry Hagg Lake is a highlight, but those wanting to cut 11 miles (and several hills) can skip that part.

Choose a long route (about 40 miles) or short (about 22 miles) on this tour of the hills and farmland northwest of Portland.

The longer option is quite hilly; the shorter version, less so.

Sunday, June 12 Banks/Timber/Vernonia

Sunday, August 21: McMenamins Edgefield to Bull Run

Fun for beginners and advanced riders alike, this ride will offer a long route of 54 miles or an out-and-back option of up to 42 miles, including stretches of the Banks/Vernonia Trail—a paved “rail trail” path for pedestrians and cyclists.

Starting and finishing at McMenamins Edgefield, this ride follows the Scenic Highway to Crown Point and then loops past Oxbow Regional Park before turning south to Bull Run. Routes are hilly and range from 17 to 45 miles.

Saturday, September 24 Cascade Locks/Viento Point This 32-mile ride goes from Cascade Locks to Viento State Park and back, offering spectacular gorge views along the way — and one major climb. Much of the route is on a bike path.

Saturday, October 15 Urban Ramble, a.k.a. Rocky Butte/ Tabor Pie Ride Unlike our other weekend rides, this one sticks close to home, offering riders a 24-mile tour of Portland’s east side, including climbs up Rocky Butte and Mt. Tabor. Bonus: A “refueling” stop for coffee and pie.

Sunday, November 27 Gravel from Gaston Here’s a chance to try a gravel ride. This 34-mile route, which starts and finishes in Gaston and circles Hagg Lake, is roughly half gravel and half pavement. Translation: You’ll want a sturdy bike with wide tires.

Details, such as start times (typically 9 or 10 a.m.), are subject to change, and rides may be canceled or postponed due to extreme weather. Please check the MAC Cycling calendar at themac.com or the Facebook group (TheMACCycling) closer to the ride date for the latest information, including where to meet.

years as an important piece of Oregon history.

At an elevation of 7,000 feet, the location offers unmatched views and a clear, dark sky for stargazing. This adventure will be open to a small group of hardy folks and promises to be a memorable outing.

Also in July, head into the heart of the Willamette Valley and enjoy a polo tournament with the Rose City Polo Club. Prior to the tournament, there will be a Zoom call with polo club coaches to learn about the game. On the day of the competition, there will be a special tailgating area for MAC members to picnic, socialize, and watch the match. Members will be invited to participate in a traditional divot stomp at half time, as well as a meet and greet with players and their horses.

Also, keep an eye out for summertime water events ranging from surfing at the Oregon Coast to fly fishing in local rivers.

Wilderness outings include backpacking and even truffle hunting with dogs under stands of Douglas Fir. To stay in the loop, select Outdoor on the My Interest page at themac.com and keep an eye on the Events section. It’s going to be quite the year to get outside!

Remembering MAC Handball Player and Friend I was always amazed at Arley’s positive attitude. He would share stories, or stories would be told of Arley that would have brought mortal men to their knees, however, Arley navigated through life with such positivity and grace. He will be missed by many.

—Curt Heiting

A beloved handball friend has passed.

Arley Kangas died at the age of 83 on March 4, 2022, after a long, hard-fought battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Says his son, Andy, “His suffering has ended and he’s in a much better place.”

Kangas had a real zest for sports and athletics. He excelled in baseball as a catcher at the high school, college, and semi-pro levels. He was a proud and long-time member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, where he played both racquetball and handball. He won state titles in handball at MAC, and participated in Portland marathons, cycling, and was an ardent golfer and fisherman.

He loved the game of handball and cherished the friendships that he made on the court. He was loved by all for his smile, friendly demeaner, positive outlook, sense of humor, and distinctive laugh. Some of his handball buddies’ tributes follow:

Arley is one of the guys I always looked for when I was at MAC. He made me smile. I will miss his presence and remember him.

—Jay Maxwell I will always remember the great times I had with Arley on the courts, the golf course, and our annual fishing adventures with our sons. He taught me how to fly-fish and would talk hours about sports around the campfire.

He was such a humane person. ­—Tony Heiting

Arley was fun and friendly on and off the court. He will be missed.

—Bob Evenson Arley was always positive and a good sportsman, he will be missed. He always won when he wore his black high tops with gold trim!

—Frank Romanaggi

This classic photo of Arley Kangas hung in the MAC handball gallery for years.

Arley was always welcoming, encouraging, a humble winner (whenever I played him) and a gracious loser, which he rarely did when I played him. That beaming smile of his was simply the best!

—Mike Casey

He was really a great guy. In addition to handball memories, I will never forget the time his club head flew off when we were playing at Columbia. He took it all in stride and didn’t seem to miss a beat.

—Steve Grow

Arley went out of his way to make me feel welcomed to MAC when I first joined. May his memory be a constant blessing for his family.

—Mike Steele

I am better for have known Arley. A terrific man to have as a friend.

—Thomas R. Hussey

David Delaney, JD McLandrich, Dean Duncan, Jon Polonsky, Conor Casey, John Van Gorder, Ronald Emmerson, Ron Shoquist, Hank Marcus, and Jeff Jasperson also shared tributes with Arley’s family and the MAC Handball community.

Golf Swings into a New Season MAC Golf is gearing up for an exciting 2022 season. The committee has been busy adding new members and scheduling events.

It’s time to get a team together for the annual four-person Scramble on Sunday, June 12. There is sure to be fun in the sun and prizes at the 19th hole. See page 36 for more information.

Looking further out, the Club Championship is scheduled for Sept. 18 at Pumpkin Ridge, and an outing is being planned for Oct. 8 to Salishan Golf Links.

Real estate values are soaring. Now is an excellent time to sell investment properties or maybe downsize your home. If you’d like to sell but are concerned about capital gains tax, consider donating the property through a charitable trust or gift annuity.

When you contribute appreciated property, you can: • Avoid capital gains tax • Reduce your income tax • Gain lifetime income

Your gift could provide: • Lifesaving research for people with cancer or heart disease • Needed therapy for children with complex health care needs • Services for your community’s most vulnerable people
