ne of my responsibilities as your vice president is to honor those members who achieve the milestone of 50 years of MAC membership. In preparation for that celebration, I have been reacquainting myself with our hisMarlis Miller tory. I have come to VICE PRESIDENT appreciate that members have embraced change relentlessly throughout our 126 years of existence. Our competitive desire to strive to be the best and to remain relevant to the membership and our community has served us well through the years. Each time I enter MAC, I think about the members of the 1891 Portland Football and Cricket Club, who just wanted a permanent athletic club with a gymnasium to “facilitate their physical conditioning.” Their goal, I assume, was to be more competitive. I wish those members could walk through the doors of the club today and see what their desire to be better athletes created. During our 126 years, MAC has been home to many sports and activities. Besides football, MAC has offered baseball, track and field, boxing, bowling, billiards, swimming, court sports, skiing, gymnastics, jogging, walking, book clubs, cards, games, musical groups, dancing, dining and many social activities. Some of these sports and activities ended once they were no longer relevant to members. Our offerings continue to expand with the addition of emerging sports and activities, such as climbing, Pilates, writing classes and wellness. Our 14,800-squarefoot Exercise & Conditioning Room may be the place in the club that most members use most often to “facilitate their physical conditioning.” MAC culture has changed over the years to remain relevant. Todd Husband’s column last month about children and youth in the club highlighted changes in dress code and the importance of youth programs and activities. Seniors have ensured that their voices are heard through the creation of multiple new senior programs and activities. Our 20s/30s group has a vibrant schedule of social events and activities. We offer sports and activities for all ages and abilities, as well as programs for a wide variety of interests. And, since 1977, women have had full member privileges.

Change is the thread that runs through our 126 years as a premier club, and change is the constant in our lives. Change is perceived as hard in the same way that it would be hard for many of us to finish a marathon or swim 3,000 meters or play an intense squash match. Change requires effort – often significant effort – and risk. Change requires us to create a new routine, which takes time. It took me more than two months to walk directly to the location of my locker after the Women’s Locker Room renovation. My feet kept taking me to the place where my locker had been for many years. I believe I could finish a marathon or swim 3,000 meters if I committed to it as a change, then invested the time and effort to succeed. All of us have changed in the past 10 years, the past 10 days, and probably in the past 10 hours. I believe we change, adapt and reinvent in order to thrive, and grow and remain relevant. One of the lessons my grandmother taught me was to always go for it and make a change. She reasoned that the worst thing that could happen would be that I would realize it was something I would never do again. MAC has a strong history of change in our 126 years, and all of us have been a part of that history. Trustees serving this year have prioritized ensuring MAC remains relevant for our members and community by committing to the development of a strategic plan that will take us into our future using data, demographics and input. The focus is creating a plan that is actionable, and then reviewing it regularly to ensure its continuing relevance. It will be the guidepost to measure the ongoing interest in our membership lottery – and will require change if we look to our history.

Join a committee MAC’s strong governance structure ensures members remain at the heart of all we do. It provides many opportunities to impact the club through our engaged committee system. Our leadership team and staff are strong, excellent, and committed partners who work in concert with members to maintain our excellence and relevance. If you are serving on a committee now or have in the past: thank you. If you have not, please complete the Committee Interest Form available on the website and submit it no later than Sunday, Dec. 31. Indicate the committee or committees in which you are interested. We need all 17,158 member voices partnered with our club leadership and staff to remain competitive and relevant to members and our community. WM NOVEMBER 2017

ast month, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting for Platinum Clubs of America in Chicago; I serve on the organization’s board. To sit in the same room with many of the best managers in the country and share ideas is Norm Rich meaningful and helpGENERAL MANAGER ful for the betterment of our club. It is an honor and pleasure to serve. Learning from world-class professionals and sharing with them how we do things betters everyone attending. To be recognized as one of the finest clubs in America, Multnomah Athletic Club must be a leader in the club industry. We have earned the honor by building a strong partnership between committees and staff. In the athletic club category, we scored second, slightly behind the New York Athletic Club, which enjoys one of the best addresses in North America. I am proud of our hard work and proud to be selected in such a competitive category. The top five athletic clubs, as chosen by presidents and general managers throughout North America as recipients of the Platinum Clubs of America, are: New York Athletic Club, Multnomah Athletic Club, Detroit Athletic Club, Olympic Club and Washington Athletic Club.

Traditions and mindful change Over the past couple of years, I have had the opportunity to attend mass (church) at several different parishes here in Portland, in the Northeast and in Southern California. All these churches are traditional and have existed for decades or centuries. My family became parishioners at a couple of these churches prior to moving on to other parishes in our new neighborhood. At each parish, I noticed that traditions change over time as new priests, an ever-changing church leadership, and new parishioners come into the fold. At MAC, we have similar scenarios. I think we are well served by practicing long-standing traditions and modernizing or calibrating them as necessary for the long-term benefit of the club. Many of our traditions go back to our roots in 1891 and have been modified over the years. We started with football and cricket; have transitioned, over time, away from riflery, bowling and badminton; and added climbing, ski, pickleball and lacrosse programs.

Popcorn policing I am asking help from members in policing popcorn! Please enjoy all the free popcorn you want inside the Sports Pub. Please do not take popcorn out of the Sports Pub, not even by one inch. Do not stick your hands in the popcorn machine to get a handful of popcorn; rather, use a scoop and a bowl. It seems like little to ask, but popcorn creates huge messes and sanitary issues in the club. I would hate to have to take a break from popcorn by having “A Day without Popcorn.” Many thanks!

Celebrating the holidays We celebrate Thanksgiving on Nov. 23, and immediately thereafter jump into the holiday season. Member Events and Catering create some of the best events happening anywhere. Family and social events are one of our largest strengths, which is a significant differentiation from most other clubs. We have one of the finest chefs in the country in Philippe Boulot. He and his team cook with the finest ingredients, bringing European techniques to Northwest cuisine. Chef Boulot is a from-scratch culinary master rather than an out-of-the-box chef. I do not think you can find a better place for your holiday events and culinary experiences; just make sure you make a reservation before it’s too late. Several holiday events are sold out, but many still have availability. Bringing family and friends to the club for dining and celebrations in 1891, the Sports Pub or private catering rooms are great ways to experience your club. We wrap the year with a New Year’s celebration for families. Toast the East Coast New Year’s celebration with your children in our ballroom, in a safe and festive environment.

Resolution time Immediately following the holidays, and while many holiday events are taking place, I encourage you to work out to stay fit and keep your mind sharp. In January, members return to the club to work on their resolutions to stay healthy or become more fit. Our team of professional personal trainers are some of the best anywhere, and they have been successful and meaningful resources for our members. We have two physical therapy experts, a naturopath and a dietician to keep our focus on wellness. When you think about everything the club offers, it is remarkable! We are a Platinum Club of America serving 3,400 members daily, along with many of their guests. WM NOVEMBER 2017

ADMINISTRATIVE SPORTS SHORTS

continue to feel incredibly lucky to be involved with MAC. I encourage you to take a step back and soak in all that the club has to offer. Perhaps this is the month you jump into the pool for the first time. Maybe you garner the courPhil Galvin age to take your first ATHLETIC AND yoga or water fitness WELLNESS DIRECTOR class. How about taking a few swings in our batting cage? Ever tried squash? There is a direct correlation between you trying something new at the club and your increased level of awareness and satisfaction. The way you see the club will grow almost immediately.

Kudos to our facilities team As most of you are aware, MAC is the largest indoor athletic facility in the U.S. In my short six months as athletic and wellness director, I have been amazed at the efforts of Elsa Lemoine and her facilities team. On any given day, they do a multitude of things to make sure this enormous building operates at a high level. From tending to daily issues to managing current and future projects, they simply do an outstanding job.

The Winged M relies upon individuals and committees to submit event results for the Club Scoreboard. To submit an item: Fill out a Club Scoreboard form providing the athlete’s name, sport, event, date and standing (first, second or third place) and submit the form to Athletic Services. Forms are available in Athletic Services.

Update on wellness space Some of you may be wondering what is going on with the vacant offices in the E&C space. We have spent a considerable amount of time planning the look and feel of that area, which will eventually house our physical therapist, naturopath, private yoga instruction and nutritionist. With the strategic plan also under development, we simply want to make sure we take our time and do things the right way. We expect that project to be completed in early 2018.

Fitzone great for kids I would like to encourage those of you with kids ages 9 to 14 to head to the West Gym and use the Fitzone! Available from 3-7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on weekends, this is a great space for younger members to enjoy themselves while using some creative workout tools. Staff is on hand to assist with plenty of activities – my favorite is the virtual bike rides on the beach. I truly hope each of you have a healthy and enjoyable start to your holiday season. The passion and care each of you have for the club is what makes it so special. Please never hesitate to reach out to me directly if I can help you here in any way. WM

Mike Richardson Board member, Providence Milwaukie Foundation; President and CEO, Dark Horse Comics Where did you grow up? In Milwaukie, Oregon – back when it was just farm country.

Education and training I attended Portland State University. I never went to film school and didn’t know anything about publishing or retail. I started researching those areas and then learned a lot on the job.

Tell us about your family. I’ve been married 45 years to my wife, Karie. We have 3 kids, one granddaughter and another granddaughter on the way.

Why Providence? I believe in the Mission, and Providence Milwaukie is part of the community where I’ve been my whole life. There are a lot of very committed people here, and for anyone looking to get involved in something … I couldn’t recommend Providence more.

What are your hobbies? I play basketball, play my Telecaster guitar, write graphic novels and do a lot of family things. My granddaughter is my favorite person on the planet, and I’m already working with her on basketball.

To learn more, visit: ProvidenceFoundations.org/milwaukie

What’s a great experience you’ve had at Providence Milwaukie Hospital? Our family has always been patients here. Last year I was traveling around the world and came back very ill. I ended up at Providence Milwaukie in septic shock and spent four days in the ICU. I don’t know if there are really angels on God’s green earth, but if there are, they work at Providence Milwaukie.

Who were your mentors? Early on, it was my parents. My mom always encouraged me to draw, and I had a great childhood. Later on, I had a number of professional mentors. As you go through life, you find people who become great factors in how you behave … you don’t want to tarnish their memory, even after they’ve passed on.

Why does philanthropy matter to you? Life has been very good to me. I firmly believe that if God’s been good to you, you should share with others. I think nothing could be better than helping people live healthy, happy lives.

FACES IN THE CLUB

Watch your back, MAC members. If you hear the soft padding of stealthy feet, it might be a ninja creeping up behind you. Fortunately, gymnastics instructor and Xcel Head Coach Brin Cavallero is a benevolent warrior, although one capable of astounding feats of strength. “It’s the most insane upper body obstacles you’ve ever seen!” she says of her two trips through the course of NBC’s popular athletics competition/reality show American Ninja Warrior.

The mother of three and former co-owner of Girasole Pizza in St. Johns is no stranger to formidable challenges. When she found herself squaring off with health issues in 2015, an email from a friend telling her about ANW prompted her to heal herself through a renewed commitment to fitness and agility. She built an obstacle course in her backyard and began training like a Shaolin Monk. While she has yet to get much in the way of screen time, Cavallero takes pride in making it through the fourth obstacle on the show, not to mention fighting her fear of the spotlight. She also continues to challenge herself by setting new fitness goals despite a nagging shoulder injury. She’s currently training to try to break three women’s world records: muscle-ups, back levers, and pull-ups in a minute.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Manager Editor Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.

Jake Hickock It’s easy to put personal trainers up on a pedestal. They’re in great shape, they often seem to be high on endorphins, and they get to go to work in sweatpants. What you might not know, though, is that many have faced the same fitness challenges as you. Take Jake Hickock, for instance. These days he’s lean and mean, but it wasn’t always so. Once upon a time, he enlisted the help of a personal trainer to overcome his own obesity. The experience made such an impact on him that he decided to help others facing their own health concerns. Hickock is now a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and he specializes in body building, weight loss and women’s fitness. He holds a degree in Culinary Arts from the Oregon Culinary Institute, and is working to become a Registered Dietitian. Oh, and he’s even a certified USA Olympic weightliftinga coach!

Lorraine LesherBolton

Phil Oswalt

Even when Lorraine Lesher-Bolton isn’t traveling the world on business, she still manages to rack up some impressive mileage without leaving the MAC. On the morning of Sept. 5, she hit the 5,000-mile mark in the 50-meter pool. To put that in perspective, she swam roughly the same distance between Oregon and the Netherlands, one of the countries to which her role as Director of Global Logistics at Tektronix often takes her. Normally a runner, she took up lap swimming three days a week as a way to stay in shape for the half marathons that are her bread and butter. After moving to Portland in 1993, she began hitting the MAC pool with her sights set on hitting 5,000 miles before she turned 60. When she celebrates her birthday in mid-September, it will be with a satisfied smile on her face. “Lap swimming is a lonely sport, but it’s amazing how many friends you develop who are doing the same thing,” she explains. Those friends gathered around her on Sept. 5 to present her with an award plaque in recognition of her accomplishment. Lesher-Bolton also runs with the Early Birds, and has trained with the Master Swimmers. She’s also passed along her love of aquatics to her daughters, who both compete with the Master Swimmers. She says that she comes to MAC every day, and views it as her “Third Space.”

MAC chef Phil Oswalt has game. Wild game, to be precise. No, that’s not a boast, but a promise of menu items to come. When you see Antelope Popcorn appear among 1891’s late night happy hour offerings, know that you’re ordering an award-winning dish. Oswalt laid claim to the People’s Choice Award at the Wild About Game culinary competition in October with 75 percent of the popular vote. He took the mild flesh of wild antelope and turned it into an American-heartland-and-Asian-fusion feast of chicken-fried steak, miso-whipped potato, sake-black-pepper gravy, and soft-poached quail egg. While he initially toyed with the idea of a Hawaiian surf and turf featuring antelope carpaccio, he and his team ultimately opted for something more capable of showing off their cooking chops while keeping the people happy. “That first idea might have won the judges, but it wasn’t going to win the people.” Nicky USA stages the event to promote wild game and educate the public on how to cook it. From the perspective of bringing accessibility to the table, Oswalt considers his creation a bounding success. “It was just the approachability,” he says of why his dish was the fan favorite. “You could just walk right up to it.”

Celebrate Thanksgiving Three Ways with MAC Thanksgiving Buffet T

his Thanksgiving, however members prefer to feast, the MAC has an option that will give them even more for which to be thankful.

CULINARY CULINARY CALENDAR Holiday Tea: The Return of a Portland Classic A new holiday tradition begins in 1891 on Saturday, Nov. 25. While working at the Four Seasons’ Inn on the Park in London, Executive Chef Philippe Boulot became a convert to the cultured repose of afternoon tea. The imaginative style of tea service he created became a mainstay of the Heathman Restaurant and a tradition for many Portland families over the years. Bringing his signature Holiday Tea to 1891 allows members to continue a tradition or create a new one with family and friends. The tea includes a three-level dessert tower packed with tasty treats from MAC’s awardwinning pastry chef Shelby Page. Executive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt collaborated with the experts at Portland’s Steven Smith Teamaker to select six blends perfect for the occasion. A package including those blends, packaged especially for MAC, is available for purchase in the Mporium. Holiday tea will be served in 1891 with seatings at noon, 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 p.m., and a second set of seatings at 1:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m. and 2 p.m. Adults cost $24, and little sippers are $14 with a hot chocolate option.

Unique Barrel Creates the Perfect Beer Back

ar Manager Roni Pervizi is always excited to hand select a barrel of whiskey to sell exclusively at MAC. This time around, he’s getting the most out of his barrel. After Pervizi selected a George Dickel Tennessee Whisky for the club, the distiller sent him the barrel, and it’s not just for decoration. Pervizi teamed with the brewers at Portland’s WhiskyBack to develop a porter

that is currently aging in the barrel, and will be available exclusively at MAC. “I really wanted to do something interesting with the barrel this time,” Pervizi says. “We haven’t taken advantage of that in the past.” The selection is part of MAC’s Brown Bottle Society, which features a different whiskey each month. Stop by 1891 to sign up.

125TH ANNIVERSARY

125 Blanket: Common Cause, Uncommon Thread Club collaborates with Pendleton on limited-edition blanket for 125th anniversary fundraising champions

orking together toward a common cause can give you the warm fuzzies, sometimes quite literally. Just ask Richard Horswell, who recently wrapped himself in a Pendleton blanket made entirely through the team efforts of his fellow MAC members. “We wanted to do something special for the underwriters of the MAC’s 125th Anniversary,” he says of the 72 custom, MAClogo-emblazoned stadium blankets that were made. They also wanted a suitably gracious takeaway for all those who made the celebration so special. Horswell was co-chair of the Club 125 Campaign Cabinet, which helped raise money for MAC’s 125th Anniversary in 2016. Club 125’s 45 members raised roughly $45,000 for the festivities. Co-chair John Herman focused on the business community as a Corporate Council of underwriters. Sitting around a table at 1891 one day, member Jamie Daigle came up with the idea of enlisting the help of the Bishop family, MAC members and owners of Pendleton, as well as one of the company’s former designers,

Winthur Sempliner. Between the family’s generosity, Sempliner’s contacts, and her own designs, they emerged with a piece of functional art that pays tribute to the MAC and the members who make the club what it is. In recognition of his role with the celebration, member Bob Nunn received the blanket stamped No. 1.

The artistry used to create the blanket is incredible. “The artistry that she used to create this blanket is just incredible,” Horswell says. “She tied in elements from the stained glass window in 1891 for the border and the Campaign Cabinet voted on the final design.” The club would like to recognize members of the 125 Campaign Cabinet not named above, without whom the anniversary, and this project, would not have been possible: Ad Hoc 125th Anniversary Chair Mike Matthews, Trish Carey, Annie Duden, Sarita Dua, David Lucas, Randi Reiten and Jordan Schnitzer.

In Memoriam Janet Martin Gadsby Sept. 9, 1925 - May 30, 2017 Janet Martin Gadsby died peacefully and quietly at home in Portland. She was born in the picturesque hamlet of Leavenworth, Washington, on the eastern slopes of the Cascades to Maida Witt Martin and William J. Martin. In 1943, she graduated from Wenatchee High School and was crowned Apple Blossom Festival Princess with her twin sister, Vivian. They attended their mother’s alma mater, Washington State University, and Janet joined the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. After the war, Janet and Vivian came to Portland at the invitation of their older sister, Virginia. Janet held several jobs including an administrative position at the Veterans Hospital. She married Walter Gadsby, Jr. in 1949. Walter is a lifetime MAC member who still has his first membership card from 1928. They raised three daughters: Anna, Ellen and Elizabeth. In the early years Janet was active in the Junior League of Portland. From 19651968, the family lived in Tokyo and traveled extensively in Southeast Asia, a happy and invigorating period in Janet’s life that opened many doors of cultural interest for her.

NOVEMBER 2017

After returning to Portland, Janet joined the Portland Garden Club and followed her interests in flower arranging and native plants. She continued to study Japanese and also French. She took piano lessons, listened to jazz and held season tickets to the Oregon Symphony for decades. She was a member of the Portland Art Museum and appreciated contemporary art, especially by local artists. She loved dancing and kept fit swimming and exercising at MAC, walking in the Hoyt Arboretum, and with aerobics classes. Janet loved the mountains and enjoyed skiing, hiking and natural history; she and Walter climbed Mt. Hood more than once in their younger years. She completed numerous field study trips across Oregon, and carefully documented the wildflowers, animals and birds she observed and learned about. In the late 1980s, Janet became active in regional conservation issues, most notably campaigns to protect the Mt. Hood National Forest and, later, to preserve Neawanna Point in Clatsop County. Her excellent writing and language skills served these causes well. In 1984, Janet undertook an Outward Bound course on the Rogue River. In 1989, she traveled to Nepal to join a women’s trek up the Annapurna Valley to over 12,000 feet: at 64, she was the oldest member of the group, and the only one to reach their goal. In 1995,

at nearly 70, Janet climbed Mt. St. Helens to meet eligibility requirements and proudly joined the Mazamas. Walter accompanied her on numerous natural history trips, including one to Alaska, which they enjoyed tremendously. Janet found beauty in all natural things, whether grand or small: she was able to derive joy from a bright autumn leaf or fallen feather. Janet’s twin sister, Vivian Martin; sister, Virginia McCutcheon Haynes; and brother, George Martin, preceded her in death. Her husband, Walter; daughters; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews survive her, and will strive to carry her gracious spirit always. The family suggests remembrances in Janet’s honor be sent to the Mazamas, the North Coast Land Conservancy or Pandrillus Foundation.

Valorie Sue Koenig Sept. 18, 1941-Sept. 17, 2017 This isn’t about how Valorie died, but about how she lived. Family, family, family, children, grandchildren, that was Valorie’s life. She sold bridal gowns for 10 years and diamonds for 10 years. Valorie loved the people she met and got to know them as friends. Valorie was born Valorie S. Bockman Sept. 18, 1941. Her mother and father divorced after three years and her mother, Francyne,

ADMINISTRATIVE remarried James G. Ryan. Her stepdad was the only father she knew growing up. She married David Forstrom in college at OSU and had two children, Rian and Robin. Valorie and Dave were married 19 years and divorced in 1987. Valorie met Jacob Koenig III on the best blind date of all time in February 1988. He fell in love with Valorie at Kmart in 1989! She lost $20 in the store and started crying and couldn’t stop. Jacob said, “If I give you $20, will you please stop crying?” She smiled and said yes, and he fell in love at that moment. Valorie was diagnosed with stage four cancer on her 71st birthday, Sept. 18, 2013. The fight for life started that day. She looked death in the eye every day until Sept. 17, 2017, when she died peacefully in I.C.U. at St. Vincent. The greatest pain any human has in their life doesn’t come close to what Valorie went through. She’s an inspiration and icon for the word “Life!” Oh, about the dog, her granddaughters let us have him for sleepovers as much as possible. Leo knew Valorie was sick four years ago and never left her side. Leo made Valorie live longer and happier than anything Jacob can recall during her terrible ordeal.

Local artist Kenneth Poirier’s credits include work on “Grimm” and “Wild,” in addition to designing this month’s Winged M cover.

A Member’s ‘Timeless’ Take on the Holidays I

f this month’s Winged M cover inspires feelings of nostalgia, that’s wholly intentional. It was designed by MAC member and local artist Kenneth Poirier, who is known for his goddess-like figures and tapping into the rich history of late-19th and early-20th century fine art and advertising. He’s also found work plying his day job of graphic designer on such Hollywood fare as Wild, Grimm, Leverage, and The Librarians. We sat down with him for a Q&A about his most recent work, inspired by the MAC’s holiday decorating theme of “Let It Snow.” Winged M: Tell us about your approach to designing the cover. Kenneth Poirier: The personal art pieces I make are all very inspired by vintage commercial illustration, like the old travel posters and French bicycle advertisements. They have so much charm, and

NOVEMBER 2017

the color has this almost patina, like it has age to it. There’s something that you can’t really get with photography. It seems so lighthearted. That’s what I tried to bring to this cover. Everything, when it reaches about 100 years old, becomes this instant classic, timeless thing. As weird as it sounds, in 2080, the 1980s will be seen as this timeless thing. If you have that mindset, focusing on the early 20th century, the very end of the Victorian era, right before Art Nouveau, is like this weird sweet spot that people really, really dig right now. If you can somehow channel that energy into something new, there’s a lot of play you can do with that. WM: You’ve carved out a real niche for yourself. Did you start out that laser-focused? KP: No. This is a bit of a side thing that I do. In my real work, I pride myself

on being a complete chameleon in terms of design. With TV shows, that’s invaluable because you never know what you’re going to be making. WM: What’s the binding element between all of your work? KP: I tend to focus on the classic image of the muse – the female, the goddess. Classic imagery like the Venus de Milo. It’s timeless. It feels like it will always be seen as fine art. Even though I don’t consider myself a fine artist, those types of subject matter feel like they will always be seen as fine art. WM: If you had the chance to create more MAC-centric art, what would it be? KP: I really love the amazing old photographs of sports teams and individuals around the MAC. I’ve thought about doing a series focusing on specific athletics. Do a basketball one, a tennis one – it’s MACfocused, but it lives in that 1890s time period. WM: How did you get into MAC? How did this world open up to you? KP: When I first got to the MAC, I wasn’t an artist yet. I was a scholar-athlete in water polo and basketball. I got that scholarship in 1998, I think, when I was a sophomore. I’m the only member in the family. At that time, I was going to be an electrical engineer, but I switched to graphic design at OSU. I saw some

other people in my fraternity who were in graphic design, and they were doing the same types of things that I was doing as a hobby. I was like, “Hey, that looks like more of my style!” I made sure I kept the membership throughout. I enjoy being a member here. I’ve definitely grown up with it, and have been a member for almost 20 years now. (Pauses) That number kind of snuck up on me. WM: How did you get started on “Librarians,” “Grimm” and the other TV shows and movies you design graphics for? KP: It’s really interesting because it’s never a job that I thought existed. It’s not something that people realize is a thing because my job is pretty much to make things look real, but in the background. I do some work in hero pieces, like hero props and things like that that are part of the story, but most of the time, like say if you’re shooting at the MAC, it’s not the MAC in the script. I would have to make the logo for that, do signage. If you’re in a restaurant, I make the menus. We call it Gak – it’s all this stuff that you randomly have to make so it looks real. For “Wild,” I had to make a bunch of “lost” posters – lost kitten, lost dog – so I used all my animals. You can get really involved in some things. We did this totem pole for the last season of “Librarians.” It was really interesting because I designed this totem pole and these amazing scenic artists took these huge pieces of foam and shaved them down to look like my drawing and make this 15-foot-tall totem pole. There are pieces of it all over town, I think. WM: Sounds like you could be Bruce Wayne, keeping mementos of your capers all over your equivalent of the Bat Cave. KP: I do! It’s my garage. I had some friends from the production world come over to my house for a party, and they walked in my garage and were like, “Hey! How’d you get all these?” You do get a souvenir every once in a while. WM: Have you ever brought home a prop and your wife nixed keeping it in the house? KP: No, but when I first started dating her, I started hiding her name and birthdate in things just so I could go, “Look at this cool thing I did for you!” WM: Should we all closely scrutinize the cover, looking for hidden messages? KP: There’s nothing there! Actually, I did hide my name in one of the snowflakes. –Jake Ten Pas WM

Lori M. Tam, M.D. Medical Director, Women’s Heart Program Providence Heart Institute Education and training • Cornell University • Brigham & Women’s Hospital / Harvard Medical School • Johns Hopkins University

Why Providence? I was born and raised in Portland and volunteered in high school as a candy striper at Providence. I believe in Providence’s Mission of caring for the poor and the vulnerable, and I’m grateful to work alongside world-caliber colleagues who provide the highest quality care and push the envelope of innovation.

Your dream for Providence? As the highest-volume cardiac health system in Oregon, Providence is uniquely positioned as the leader in high-quality care. That means we must continue to lead in cardiac prevention and wellness, both for the broader community and especially for women and underserved groups.

What are your hobbies? I have three young children, so my time away from work is devoted to quality time with them. I participate in their school events, take them to sports activities and garden with them. I also enjoy taking my infant to Mommy & Me yoga classes.

To learn more, visit: www.ProvidenceOregon.org/heart

What’s a great Providence memory or experience? We took care of a young mother who had a severe heart attack due to a rare condition that is much more common in women. We helped her survive and recover from her heart attack so she can see her son grow up.

Who were your mentors? Dr. Steven Schulman and Dr. Nisha Chandra-Strobos at Johns Hopkins and Dr. Donald Girard at OHSU taught me the science of medicine and cardiology. More importantly, they taught me that humanity and humility are the foundation of our daily work in caring for people at their most vulnerable moments.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work? The generosity of our donors allows Providence to provide clinical and prevention services as part of the Providence Women’s Heart program. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, and 80 percent of heart disease is preventable. Our goal at Providence Heart Institute is to empower women with the knowledge and tools to live a life of wellness.

Hear Tales from MAC’s ‘Ageless Icon’ S

Lewarn more about the ageless Bud Lewis at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, when the MAC legend signs copies of “A Strong Grip.”

46 | The Wınged M |

NOVEMBER 2017

harp, inspiring, ageless Bud Lewis is well known at Multnomah Athletic Club and beyond. Now, his life has been chronicled in the book – A Strong Grip: The Stories of Oregon’s Bud Lewis, An Ageless Icon. Written (or “assembled” as she would rather say) by writer and MAC member Sheri Clostermann Anderson, the book features stories of Lewis’ eventful life and anecdotes from people he has known. Among them are tales of his World War II service in the South Pacific, walking Portland’s streets as a beat cop, guiding the Portland Police Bureau’s Sunshine Division, teaching countless teenagers to drive, serving as the security officer for Portland wrestling matches, winning

MAC Decathlon competitions at ages 68 through 73 (and competing again at age 96), prompting the return of World War II Japanese flags and more. The stories recount experiences he has had and choices he has made that have molded him into a person to whom others look to for wisdom, guidance and love of life. Lewis and Anderson talk about the book and sign copies beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, at MAC. Books are available at the event. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. For more information or to register, visit theMAC.com or contact At Your Service at 503-517-7235. MEV472

MOST OF US WANT TO LOOK AS YOUNG AS WE FEEL. That’s where board certified, fellowship trained oculofacial plastic surgeon, Robert Tower, MD, has focused for 15 years.

Combining customized skincare, elegant injectables, precise surgery, and Portland’s first-and-only HYBRID fractional resurfacing laser, Dr. Tower specializes in making your face look as vibrant as you feel, with a personal physician level of service and continued academic expertise. Dr. Tower contributes as an Associate Clinical Professor of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at OHSU to the training of future plastic surgeons.

ACTIVITIES BALLADEERS

Reaching Out to MAC’s Neighbors In September, the Balladeers men’s chorus kicked off the fall season by singing a short program at the Goose Hollow Day event. There wasn’t a dry eye in the audience, but unfortunately that was due to heavy smoke from a plague of northwest forest fires. The Balladeers don’t have Smoke Gets in Your Eyes in their repertoire. It was important for MAC to connect with its residential and commercial neighbors in celebrating the neighborhood. The Balladeers were happy to help, and they were joined by the club’s co-ed MelloMacs singing group. “The Balladeers do a great service for both the club and the community,” says Mandy Beasley, the group’s staff liaison. “They put our best foot forward around the city, demonstrating the club’s civic and social involvement in one of the most positive ways: music.” The Balladeers are busy preparing for more community events this season, including a first-time holiday appearance at The Grotto. Stay tuned for details. Male MAC members are welcome to drop in on a rehearsal at 7:15 p.m. Thursdays in the third-floor Activities Classroom. For more

BOOKS

Dead Wake: A Tale of Two Captains The Evening Readers discuss Erik Larson’s Dead Wake, the story of the sinking of the Lusitania, in November.

The Lusitania set sail on its doomed voyage from New York City to Ireland in 1915. Nearly 1,200 people died when a German U-boat sank the ship. The book is written in episodes, not timeline chapters, which makes for a fascinating read. Dead Wake is a tale of two captains, William Thomas Turner, a seasoned 58-yearold Englishman, and Walther Schwieger, the 32-year-old German commander of the U-boat Underseeboot-20. Tension increases

PERSONAL TRAINING

Ramp Up That Fitness Routine by Talking to a Personal Trainer T

hose wondering if personal training is right for them would do well to consider this: IDEA, the International Health and Fitness organization, found that 75 percent of people who exercise are not getting the results they want. Out of the 25 percent of people who are getting desired results, 90 percent of them are working with a personal trainer. The thought of starting a new exercise program without assistance – including trying to figure out how to use the equipment - can be intimidating. Personal Training Supervisor Andy Shupp is available for free consultations to help interested parties understand the benefits of personal training and find out which trainer is the best fit for their goals. It’s common to feel like the reward of exercise isn’t matching the amount of effort being expended. Personal trainers will change exercise programs and demonstrate how to get results more effectively and in less time. Whether it’s a brand new exercise regime or modifying a current workout, trainers can take trainees to a higher

level of health and fitness. They’ll build an efficient and structured fitness program based on lifestyle and desired goals. One challenge many face is sticking with their programs; 70 to 80 percent quit after two to three months. The guidance of a personal trainer can help MAC members adhere to their programs. Trainers are known for helping their charges to keep their commitments! Many people dream of the challenge of completing an athletic event, and a personal trainer can help make that dream a reality. Whether training for a 5- or 10-km fun run, a half or full marathon, a triathlon, skiing, a challenging hike, or just to improve a golf or tennis game, a trainer will offer a plan for success. Injuries can mean significant setbacks to fitness goals, leaving athletes with two choices: do nothing or take an active role in feeling better. A personal trainer will work with health care professionals to develop a safe rehabilitation program.

WELLNESS

Post-Traumatic Resilience: Let the Body Act as Anchor in Grief’s Storm

oney, sit down, we need to talk,” my husband Michael said. “You know that weird lump under my arm that the doctor thought was an infection?” “Yes,” I said. “Well, it’s not an infection, he thinks it’s Melanoma. He took a biopsy and let’s hope it hasn’t spread.” A dark mole Michael always had on his back was the cause of the swollen lymph node under his arm. Praying they got good margins and it hadn’t spread too far into his system, we waited for the results. I remember the doctor at OHSU approaching. He sat down with a heaviness and said, “I’m sorry Michael, you have Stage 4 Melanoma. The tumors have metastasized to your lungs. We’ll need you to begin Interferon treatments as soon as possible.” My husband of 26 years was given 9 months, at best, to live, and told to prepare. At that moment, I felt my body and mind split in two. A numbness washed over me. It seemed like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from, and wouldn’t for a very long time. “Someone please wake me up,” I thought, “This can’t be happening to us. How will we tell the boys?” In an instant, life as we knew it was no longer. For a very long time I stayed in shock and denial. I didn’t eat, sleep, move or breathe. One day, through the pain, my body cried out. It was grief manifesting itself in deep tissue pain, severe weight loss, depression and exhaustion. My body screamed for my attention. I had to face the pain and listen. Shock and denial are the first stages of grief and trauma. This provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once.

It can last a few weeks or for some, in the case of childhood trauma, years before one is ready to deal with the experience. Trauma experts say that every person on the planet has experienced some sort of trauma in their lives. For some, the degree of trauma can be shattering. For others, it’s much milder. We all carry trauma in our bodies and in our DNA. When I received the news of Michael’s cancer, I owned a Pilates studio that was known to be trauma-sensitive for survivors of childhood abuse. It provided a safe, nonthreatening environment to heal. In 1995 I had walked through the difficult journey to heal my own childhood physical and sexual abuse. I explored healing through many somatic, body-centered, disciplines – Body Mind Centering, Alexander Technique, and Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement were just a few. I saw it as an opportunity to learn more about how my body held the trauma of long ago, and was perhaps still holding me captive to the past. I became a student of this work. My body became my best teacher, along with specialized trauma counseling. I found that the structured nature of Pilates gave me the anchor I needed to go deeper into the places I had shut down, or blocked to protect myself. It was so helpful to me, I wanted to share the work with other survivors, and created a specialized program called Body Reconciliation. For the next 10 years, I offered classes and workshops. The symptoms of unexpressed pain and grief are very individual. Long-held grief that can’t be expressed, as in childhood abuse, is much harder to overcome. It manifests itself in similar ways as the

ATHLETICS deep sorrow of losing a loved one. The Mayo Clinic states that “normal grief symptoms start to gradually fade over time, unexpressed complicated grief is like being in a heightened state of mourning that keeps one from healing.” The Mayo Clinic offers this list of symptoms: • Intense sorrow and pain at the thought of your loved one • Focus on little else but your loved one’s death • Extreme focus on reminders of the loved one or excessive avoidance of reminders • Intense and persistent longing or pining for the deceased • Problems accepting the death • Numbness or detachment • Bitterness about your loss • Feeling that life holds no meaning or purpose • Irritability or agitation • Lack of trust in others ˆ• Inability to enjoy life or think back on positive experiences with your loved one As Michael battled his disease, I chose to sell my studio and cut back teaching. I would need all my energy reserves to help him fight and for me to face the giants. The fact that I would be living without him, and our two sons without their father, meant a very uncertain future. Slowing down and turning inward toward the pain would surely bring it to the surface. Could I manage without falling apart? As a child, I survived by keeping as busy as possible, but was disconnected, feeling out of control. I avoided doing anything that opened me up to being vulnerable. This present danger would test me to my core. I would need to trust my capacity and strength to persevere, draw on the tools I gained from my earlier healing and begin preparing for the worst. I set up my own healing/movement space in our home and began to prepare my heart, mind and body to walk forward. I became fully aware, awake and present, even in the middle of the storm. My family, friends and the God who never left my side were my anchors. Michael proved the diagnoses wrong and fought 9 long years. He passed Oct 4, 2014. With myself and our two sons holding him, he took his final breath. We were all fully aware, awake and present with him. I am so thankful he had the anchors he needed in his storm. This fall it will be three years since we said goodbye. I miss him so much and remain so grateful for our two sons and the 26 beautiful years of memories we created together. Our bodies long to be healthy and free from the weight of life’s trials. Grieving

Cristi Dillon with her husband, Michael, on the beach. well takes time and the ability to trust the natural process of letting go to take place. Grief unexpressed can bring about illness and disease. In time, our lives will come to a new normal. We’re still able to have peace, joy, hope and love in our lives. To grieve is proof we are alive and connected; it’s the proof of how deeply we can love. That’s beautiful! Weeks after Michael’s passing, my mom came to me. “Honey,” she said, “Michael had a message he wanted me to pass on to you. He said he tried to talk to you about it but you couldn’t hear it then. Can you now?” “Yes,” I said. She took my hands, “He hopes that you are able to open your heart to find love again.” Just like him to be so unselfish. My heart, of course, rejected that thought. “How could I ever love again?” But as I sit today and think about his request, I can say assuredly I am loving again more than ever. To love myself, find my inner strength and embrace life’s storm, have been the greatest gifts grief has offered. To be able to share my story with you is another. To know you’re not alone in the storm, I offer private Pilates and small-group support here at MAC for anyone at any stage of their healing journey. Nothing needs to be discussed or shared. It’s just a traumasensitive approach in a safe environment to encourage you on your way. Cristi Dillon is now taking registration for private Pilates training as well as small groups of up to six.

Embrace Gratitude as Ritual A s we gather with friends and family this Fall and Winter, we feel the warmth of those around us and experience a deep appreciation for celebration and for each other through the rituals of holiday traditions. Many of us experience how being grateful elevates our energy, increases our stamina and encourages connection and good feeling. As we age, we value even more the moments in which we pause to connect with those around us. Ancient philosophers and modern researchers agree that embracing ritual is an effective method of re-aligning us to what matters most. Most ancient and modern world religions place gratitude as a component that is central to their texts and teachings. Increased levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine occur when gratitude is practiced, modulating stress and decreasing the likelihood of anxiety and depression. Multiple modern neuroscientific studies have shown the correlation between gratitude and increased well-being not only for the individual who feels grateful but for all those involved in that person’s life. Actively practicing gratitude has been shown to strengthen groups and teams in workplaces, communities and families. As professional coaches and healthcare professionals, we guide individuals and groups who experience stress in varied facets of their life and work: those in transition, struggling with relationships or experiencing burnout. We have come to know the profound power

Kate Donchi, M.S. and Yasodha Gopal, M.D. of gratitude to promote resilience, deeper engagement, centeredness, and increased satisfaction. Just as physical strength and stamina are increased with an exercise practice, we know that a gratitude practice can have marked effects on all aspects of our well-being. The benefits of gratitude have far reaching implications for our own wellbeing and for our communities. Join Kate Donchi, M.S. and Yasodha Gopal, M.D. from Visionate Collaborative for a free presentation at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16, as they teach participants about how cultivating and integrating gratitude in our lives can bring us into the moment and deliver greater resilience, engagement and joy.

Anemia Diagnosis is the Key to Good Treatment

he upcoming November blood drive got me thinking about the blood disorder anemia. It is a condition in which someone’s red blood cell count is lower than normal. Red blood cells are crucial because they carry oxygen to every cell in the body. Most people associate anemia with low iron or blood loss, although less familiar megaloblastic anemia is quite common. This condition occurs when red blood cells are larger than normal blood cells. Because of their size, the red blood cells aren’t as good at delivering oxygen to cells throughout the body. Most megaloblastic anemias result from either a folic

acid or B12 deficiency. These deficiencies can be a secondary effect of medication, or result from alcoholism or poor absorption. A simple blood test that looks at complete cell counts is the easiest way to diagnose megaloblastic anemia. If the test, called a CBC, confirms anemia, then your doctor may order further tests to verify which type of anemia you have. Pernicious anemia is a form of megaloblastic anemia that causes B12 deficiency, and it is quite common in the elderly. Pernicious anemia results from the nonabsorption of B12 from the stomach and is due to a missing protein called the intrinsic

ATHLETICS

factor and/or low stomach acid. Other causes of megaloblastic anemia, resulting in B12 deficiency, could be from a diet lacking in B12 (rare but occasionally seen with vegans), too much bad bacteria in the gut, gastrointestinal diseases like Celiac or Crohn’s disease, or autoimmune disease. The liver actually stores a large reservoir of B12, so it may take a few years before symptoms develop. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, arrhythmias, neurological damage causing numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, weakness, loss of reflexes, and difficulty balancing. Other symptoms may include cognitive decline, confusion and depression or gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite. One final side note: anemia could be the result of a genetic mutation (one or two genes) that doesn’t allow the body to effectively convert folic acid into its active methylated form. Why is this important? Incidence is dependent on geographical and ethnic background, but if there are symptoms of megaloblastic anemia and standard tests come back normal, it may be worth getting tested. Treatment for megaloblastic anemia can be quite easy, but since there are so many forms of anemia, a correct diagnosis is key. As a physician, I look for the root cause of disease, and so considering gastrointestinal dysfunction when other obvious causes of anemia are ruled out is well advised.

ATHLETICS

TENNIS

Smaller Courts Make for a Better Game Head Tennis Coach Paul Reber brought smaller courts, shorter nets and lighters racquets to youth tennis at MAC. He’s seeing the results.

hen Multnomah Athletic Club tennis pro Paul Reber talks about the game, the glint in his eye is matched only by the light reflecting off the vintage gold ring on his pinky. Ask him about it, and the story he tells draws you further into his passion for the game. Like so many good things in life, it all started when he was a kid. Childhood is an important time when it comes to the pursuit of competitive excellence. It’s when the love of a game can be tempered into a discipline capable of lasting a lifetime. It’s appropriate, then, that Reber – who coached tennis for eight years at University of Oregon - has made it his life pursuit to teach tennis to young people, thereby passing along the lessons he learned from his own father. While Reber’s forward-thinking methods might strike tennis traditionalists as being contemporary, they’re based on dual

66 | The Wınged M |

NOVEMBER 2017

commitments to family and hard work that are older than the tournament at Wimbledon. “My father is why I do what I do,” Reber says, adjusting his dad’s retirement ring on his finger. “Dad loved tennis, and he was just a hard worker. I don’t remember him ever taking a vacation when my brother and I were playing tennis. His vacations were to whatever tournament we were playing.” Having said that, Reber smiles, remembering another thing his dad told him before he passed away: “Paul David, someday you’re going to have to get a real job.” “I’m still shaking my finger at him that I don’t,” he says, laughing. “It’s one of those old adages that if you love what you do, you’ll never have to work.”

Changing the Game for Kids Since coming to MAC in August 2016, Reber has made it his mission to pass that love of tennis along to his students. Even if that means turning parts of the program upside down – or at least sideways.

ATHLETICS A big part of Reber’s method involves changing the scale of tennis so that it plays the same for growing kids as it does for their parents. When you’re half the size of a full-grown adult, it only makes sense that your court should be smaller, your racquet lighter, and your ball’s bounce just a touch lower. “Think about other sports,” Reber says. “They lower the hoop in basketball. They make the field smaller in soccer. Every other sport typically accommodates youth with their equipment and facilities. Tennis is just starting to do that.” What Reber and other similar-minded instructors around the world have done is to turn the tennis court sideways, placing a lower net down the center court line and letting younger players volley back and forth from the sidelines. A smaller racquet is also employed, as is a tennis ball with a red dot on it, signifying 25 percent of a normal ball’s speed. As players progress, so does their equipment. Court orientation rotates to incorporate the standard mid-court net, but at first doesn’t include the back court. Then it does. Racquet sizes slowly increase from 19 to 27 inches, and the red dot segues to orange and green before disappearing altogether on a standard yellow ball. Eventually, junior players find themselves competing at an adult level, but when they get there, the number of actual touches they’ve had while playing is as much as 10 times higher, according to Reber. “We used to teach people so they could play, but now we have them play so that we can teach them,” he says.

Proof is in the Playing “I appreciate the effort Paul puts forth to make it more accessible,” says Alexandra Lee, the parent of two of Reber’s students, Ella Sohn, age 13, and Hayden Sohn, age 10. “It’s made it less intimidating for Hayden to play on a small court. It brings it down to her size.” Kayla Casebeer, mother of Kai Casebeer, concurs. Children’s tennis instruction is often repetitive, focusing on strokes and technique rather than playing the game. “The shorter net is perfect for the kids,” she says. “The regular net was up to their eyes!” Now, Kayla and Kai enjoy playing tennis together, and Kai is able to score the game on his own. “Overall, the class is just more fun for the kids,” she adds. While keeping the game fun is definitely on Reber’s radar, he’s also focused on giving the MAC Junior program, “a little bump,” he says.

Head Tennis Coach Paul Reber wants to help the club’s youngest players build a passion for the game.

“There are so many more options out there for kids these days,” he opines. “With a very traditional sport, how do we capture the attention of a new generation of kids who were raised on the X-Games?” Reber cites a number of recent professional success stories, including the well-publicized rivalry between Novak Djokovich and Andy Murray, both of whom were taught using the short-court system. He hopes these stories motivate younger players, and hopefully keep them playing right here at MAC. With three tennis academies to choose from in town, rising stars in the MAC system have often lit out for destinations where it was easier to get court time. Reber believes that by increasing engagement at the club and offering kids and their

families more opportunities to compete, it will change how members view their MAC program. “We’ll attract them back by putting together a great program,” he says. To back this up, Reber cites a dramatic rise in the number of 10-and-under students in the program. When he joined, there were about eight kids in that age group; now there are 27. Similarly, he believes that when the Club Championship tournament is played in January, there will be as many kids in each of the age group brackets as there were in the entire tournament in years past. “That bodes well because that’s your base for the future,” Reber says. –Jake Ten Pas WM

ATHLETICS Setting goals Finding discipline-specific race goals was another tactic Kruger adopted this past season, helping him to reap significant rewards. Kruger identified distinct objectives for swim, bike and run, a practice that came out of meeting Rio Olympics triathlon gold medalist Gwen Jorgenson. “I used to go into races with the goal of a podium or a top-10 finish, and I was so focused on the people that were ahead of me that I would screw up my own race,” he says of his mindset going into the Omaha contest. “I went in that day with three personal goals that, even if I was in last place, I could still accomplish: one for the swim, one for the bike and one for the run. I executed those three goals and it turned into and awesome performance.” The LaSalle High School senior carries a full course load and also finds time to participate in mission trips to Central America with his church. He’s no stranger to multitasking while also establishing definitions for success relating to each of his endeavors. Kruger came out of a soccer and cross-country background, and started his triathlon career seven years ago, at the age of 10, at the Deschutes Dash in Bend. His dad was racing, so he figured, “Why not give this a try?” Since then, he has participated in more than 50 triathlons, with many resulting in podium finishes, including four junior nationals and three age-group nationals. In addition to winning and placing in races, Kruger finds meeting fellow competitors, reconnecting with friends at events, and staying in touch through social media to be incredibly rewarding.

Staying focused

TRIRUN

Focus, Food, Fitness: The Triathlon Trifecta W

hen most people think of banana sandwiches, physical fitness probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Visions of latter-day Elvis sweating through a rhinestone-frosted jumpsuit seem a more logical association. But then, 17-year-old triathlete Andy Kruger isn’t most people. The MAC member placed first in his age group in the Omaha Triathlon in August, before finishing first of all Americans in his age group the World Triathlon Championships in September. Kruger is a fierce competitor who is constantly refining his approach to racing, which most recently has taken the form of banana sandwiches. “It might not work for others, and it came out of experimentation, repeated through multiple refinements until it worked,” he says of his pre-race nutrition regimen. Such fuel is crucial when it comes to racing; a mid-race cramp can cripple even the best of efforts. SunButter, a peanut-butter substitute for folks with nut allergies, and coconut water for hydration round out Kruger’s prerace ritual, although this is only part of the secret to his success.

NOVEMBER 2017

As an athlete, staying focused and training with intent can be challenging. With three sports to toggle between, Andy finds focusing on specific areas helps him to compartmentalize. This past year, for instance, he’s gone all-in on refining his aquatic technique with the MAC swim team. He credits team training with inspiring him to swim faster and more efficiently, as well as Coach Alex Nikitin’s insightful guidance. Separately, he’s made great strides in his bike technique, saying that he is gaining confidence at “really pushing the bike and still being able to put in a good run effort.” “I will go where the competition is,” he predicts when asked about the future. Kruger realizes that great results come from great struggles. He hopes to train and race through college while studying exercise physiology and possibly business after he graduates in June. Kruger also has three pieces of advice for other aspiring triathletes: “First, most people would surprise themselves by finding that they can finish a triathlon. So just go out and plan to have a lot of fun and maybe surprise yourself with what you can do,” he advises. “Two - train with people faster than you. Three, it’s all fun. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t do it.” Kruger is grateful to MAC for supporting his racing endeavors, the opportunities he’s been able to seize through funding and training amenities at the club, and the expert advice and encouragement he’s received from coaches. On Sept. 17, Andy competed at the World Triathlon Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Roughly 1,600 competitors across all age groups vied for supremacy in the sprint distance race, and Kruger finished 14th overall and 10th in his age group, not to mention first among his countrymen. Those interested in completing a race or triathlon are invited to join Tri/Run committee for the new year and receive focused coaching, training advice and partnership. Committee interest forms are currently being collected at the committee’s monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month. WM

The winners, however, extended beyond the poker table. Event proceeds sponsor children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Portland to attend MAC Basketball Summer Camps. And this year, due to the event’s success, the committee wrote a check for $1,000 to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital on behalf of Brody Borlaug, a young member who died from childhood cancer in 2011, and whose family has gone on to start the Brody Borlaug Foundation. Players at the tournament vied for prizes that included golf packages, Nike shoe packages and tickets to Blazers, Timbers and University of Portland events.

ATHLETICS Handball Continued from page 73 around the court. Players must learn how to judge angles and then set up for a shot, knowing that the walls will most often bring the ball back into play, unless it’s a perfect kill shot or a perfect pass shot. Rallies are longer in four-wall and there is less emphasis on executing the kill shot an inch from the floor on the front wall. Several MAC players entered an end-ofsummer one-wall at a middle school in east Portland, playing on courts generously supported by the Alten Handball Foundation, the philanthropic handball support organization founded by the MAC’s late Irv Alten. The Foundation emphasizes growing the game through supporting junior and youth handball participation around the northwest. MAC’s Daryl Zarosinski, who also won an age-group basketball title in Spokane last season, teamed up with an assigned player, surviving three grueling rounds of play to take the title. Troy Peterson and Craig Trull lost in the semi-final round to the eventual secondplace finishers. MAC coach Matt Steele and Jeff Jasperson teamed up to win the consolation title after losing a tough match in the first round, also to the second place team.

KARATE

Making Bonds Across the Region MAC Karate students joined participants from dojos across Oregon, Washington and Montana to participate in the region’s annual Godo Renshu in October. Godo Renshu, or unity training, is a karate tradition that brings together students from a particular school or organization (MAC Karate belongs to Japan Karate Federation Northwest) to train together with a goal of ensuring that fundamentals are consistent across dojos, and to foster friendship and community between students from different places. Godo Renshu training follows tests for both color belts and black belts. Because black-belt tests are only held once or twice a year, the event always draws many of our organization’s top students and teachers. Once testing is finished, all levels can join in the group training, with short sessions led by different instructors from within MAC’s organization. The focus is often on the details, with many new drills to improve technique and customized to each skill level. After training is complete, the day concludes with an informal tournament. While many karate students are serious competitors, the Godo Renshu atmosphere lends itself to a relaxed and fun tournament experience for both the accomplished fighters and those new to sparring.

SYNCHRO

Masters Compete in Two National Meets Last summer, two Synchro Masters teams attended the second annual USA Masters Games, held in San Diego, California. Both teams turned in stellar performances and won their respective age groups. The 30-39 team consisting of Nikki Berlin, Lydia Kirkland, Michele Kraus, Marissa Montejano, Jennifer Sterrett and Michelle Tillman took a gold medal with a score of 133.537. The 60-69 team featured Jeanine Cavagnaro, Jennifer Guyler, Jinny Miller, Phyllis Newmark, Francis Stavropoulos, and Julie Vigeland who won their category with a score of 111.324. Additional MAC routines included the 21-29 trio of Berlin, Montejano and Tillman which brought home a silver medal. The duet of Kraus and Sterrett competed in the 30-39 age group against fierce competition where they came back after the technical competition in third place to move up to a silver medal finish. In the 40-49 duet competition, Kirkland and Cavagnaro swam to a sixth-place finish with a great performance. This was only the second time that the USA Masters Games had been contested. This large, multisport competition featured over 2,500 registered participants competing in more than 400 events in 24 sports. This included both an opening and closing ceremonies. The opening ceremonies were held in the Qualcomm Stadium, which has hosted three Super Bowls. Jeanine Cavagnaro was at the opening ceremonies and commented that she felt like she was walking into the Olympic stadium with so many other talented athletes of all ages. She said of the whole experience that it was “great to have a new venue to compete at with many other athletes from many sports and she feels that this meet has a lot of potential to pull in synchro swimmers in future years.”

This group of Jennifer Aponte, Anne Cleve, Audra Galler, Karen Kelsall, Kraus, Joan Kruse and Noel Larsen finished with a bronze medal! Kelsall said after the meet that “we worked so hard this year and with the MAC’s support we surprised ourselves with a Bronze!” The final event of the meet was the team event, in which MAC sent a team to represent the 30-39 age group consisting of Berlin, Kirkland, Missy Knight, Kraus, Montejano, Tillman and Iliana Torres. MAC swam to another gold medal! The MAC 20s and 30s team has won their category every year they have competed at US Nationals since 2005. That is 11 gold medals. Kraus commented that it was “an honor to represent MAC Synchro at Masters Nationals. We had two great swims and it was exciting to be a part of it.” More importantly many swimmers on the team love going to Nationals so they can get a chance to catch up with old friends. The masters team will now take a short break and will return to the pool in December practicing twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, either in the morning from 11 a.m.-noon or from 6:30-7:30 pm.

Join architectural historian and Walking and Hiking member coach Eric Wheeler for a virtual tour of Portland’s sacred spaces at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7. Religious groups in the Portland area have historically dedicated time and money to creating sacred spaces that provide a home for a variety of worship communities. Many of these structures also have significance as neighborhood landmarks that contribute Eric Whe eler to the sense of place in historic districts. This one-hour, narrated PowerPoint program highlights architectural styles employed by faith communities in Portland, from the late Victorian period to the modern era. Wheeler’s program includes examples of the popular Gothic Revival, Romanesque Revival and Classical Revival styles of architecture, as well as variations of these traditions that were popular in the early to mid-20th century. The West Coast is well known for “fusion” architectural styles in residential and commercial buildings, and this is no less true for religious architecture. Images include several of the better known churches in the region, as well as some outof-the-way architectural gems. Wheeler began his work as a historian and consultant after a career as a real estate appraiser in Wisconsin. Captivated by the natural and built environment of the Pacific Northwest, he moved to Portland in 2013. He has designed and led architectural walking tours across Portland’s as well as in several surrounding communities. He offers these tours several times a week for private and public organizations through his business, Positively Portland Walking Tours.

Training To do Nothing: Restorative Yoga Whether physically active, working hard or simply coping with the stresses of everyday life, if members want to sustain wellness over the long term, they need to recuperate and replenish the energy they expend. Restorative yoga is a practice designed to do just that: help the body and mind rest and recover. Inspired by traditional yoga poses but taking place primarily on the floor, the restorative practice uses many yoga props (pillows, blankets and blocks) to support the body so practitioners can experience effortless, deep relaxation and gentle, healthy stretching.

In addition to the more immediate physical benefits such as muscle relaxation, restorative yoga encourages the parasympathetic nervous system to kick into gear so that one can more easily disarm the stress response and get into recovery mode. Many wish we could rest and relax more easily. From the point of view of restorative yoga, the ability to relax is a skill that, like any other skill, simply needs to be trained. Doing a restorative practice can provide just that sort of training. Restorative yoga, with its encouragement to patiently observe one’s present-moment physical and mental experience, also provides an ideal forum in which to learn mindfulness. Mindfulness, defined here as the ability to pay attention to moment-to-moment experience without judgment, is associated with a wide range of benefits, including improved stress and mood management, improved mental functioning and even improved immune-system functioning. These benefits, in turn, may help people in their lives off of the yoga mat. If any of this sounds like it might be useful (or even fun!), consider attending the Friday Focus on Nov. 3 or Dec. 2. This special event pairs an extended restorative session interspersed with mindfulness meditation practices. The intention for the practice is to provide an evening of deep rest and to leave atendees with relaxation skills to support wellness at any time. Come prepared to work hard at doing nothing! Enrollment is limited to 20 students. –Jed Grodin WM
