Ways to Reach MAC atyourservice@themac.com or 503-517-7235 themac.com/group/pages/contact-us

all is one of my favorite times of year. I love pulling out my sweaters and cold weather clothes and heading to an athletic event.

Athletics have always been a large part of my being. I grew up on fields and courts Marianne Ritchie and in gyms. I have VICE PRESIDENT coached youth basketball, volleyball or tennis almost every season since my sophomore year in college. I have cheered from the sidelines of football and soccer fields, tennis and volleyball courts, and tracks.

For more than a decade I have played on MAC Tennis teams. Competing with friends at MAC, followed by a drink in the Sports Pub, reminds me that, truly, it is all about the camaraderie.

I was in my 20s and working at the King County Boys and Girls Club, coaching fifth grade girls volleyball. Our motto was “have fun and get along.” If it came to squabbling, the team would fall apart.

Every girl played equally at every position. Each had the same opportunity; we rose and fell together. Our philosophy led us to the league championships. There, the score tied, the smallest and least athletic child came up to serving position.

She hadn’t gotten the ball over the net all season. Behind me, adults were chanting “sub her out!” I ignored them. That little red-headed girl mustered everything she had and served the ball over the net. Her teammates rushed on the court to hug her in the middle of the point. The other team was self-destructing as we kept our cool and won the tournament.

COVID-19 has interfered in all aspects of our lives. Sadly fall sports took the same course as the spring — sidelined. But I am so happy to see our club slowly opening up. Youth sport tryouts and evaluations have happened. Synchronized swimmers are back in the pool, tennis courts are filling up, and the Climbing Gym is open with a new wall.

As a third-year trustee, I regularly reflect on my MAC journey. I happened upon the committee system while my daughter was playing on a club volleyball team. I have always enjoyed volunteering, so I did not hesitate to share my knowledge and devotion of the game. I moved into other committee assignments that only deepened my passion for this club.

The role of the vice president typically involves organizing wonderful events that honor committee volunteers, past and present: Women of the board and past trustee luncheons, board charge workshops, new chair orientation, and the honoring of 50-year members. My role pivoted sharply this year. We started the committee year with the shutdown. With my official duties curtailed, I turned my focus to the examination and improvement of how the committee system can better access resources, improve communication, and further improve transparency between staff, board of trustees and members.

As the chair of the Community Relations Committee, I’m part of the group proposing new policies on MAC’s allocations of resources of time, treasure and talent.

As vice president I have been honored to work with, and have the support of, amazing people. I thank my officers class: Will, Connie and Mike. We have leaned on and supported each. It has been a difficult year to stay connected in a meaningful way. I have reluctantly settled into Zoom calls and social distancing, but I crave the brief conversations on the Skybridge. I miss all of you. I miss the hustle and bustle. It is nice to have meals at the restaurants. It reminds me to keep the faith for when we will be back together, cheering each other on.

I have often told the story of the little red-headed girl. I learned multiple life lessons that day. I was young and scared, but didn’t succumb to the loud voices behind me. I watched my team believe in and celebrate the accomplishment of the weakest member. When you work together, almost everything is attainable. Together we can weather this storm. We will stay true to ourselves, help our neighbors and do all we can to have fun.

T

he celebration of Veterans Day, or its original name Armistice Day, is a bittersweet cocktail of lifechanging memories. Although the name has changed, the intent remains Charles Leverton — to embrace the GENERAL MANAGER sanctity of peace and to honor those willing to put themselves in harm’s way when peace is no longer an option.

Regardless of the year, branch, or location of service, some commonalities hold true. We veterans learned that there is a world larger than the cities, towns and farms where we grew up. We met others who were different from us and learned that those differences were far smaller than our commonalities. We discovered that the terms “brother, sister and family” were agnostic of skin color, religion or economic status. We counted on one another to survive and found that humor and gratitude are the fertile soil where resiliency grows.

Those lessons have carried me through these months. They have given me gratitude for a community that is worth defending, the ability to see the positive even when under fire, and the occasional laugh when life throws you an unexpected curveball. They also taught me core values that drive every decision I make.

Act with purpose, but know that plans will change. So far, our plans are working. We opened the pools, showers are now available again, we have reintroduced our competitive sports teams, and more of you are gaining confidence in our safety procedures and returning to our club. Still, the pandemic reminds us daily that it remains a threat and demands our respect. We will need to adjust as the fall turns into winter and new challenges arise.

Build leaders, not followers. Simply put, this club does not work without our amazing staff. Our leadership team knows that those who are engaging members daily are best-positioned to determine if our plans are resulting in the outcomes we desire. We are committed to empowering staff to not only collect and report feedback, but to lead with a recommendation

and take ownership of the outcomes.

Everyone’s voice matters, and we are committed to leading with the most capable and smartest, not necessarily those with the most seniority. This empowerment is rewarded daily as we see new ideas, derived from every level of our company, quickly improve our offerings. We also hear from all levels of our team when bad ideas require quick pivots and intervention.

Mission first. Duty and selfless service are the hallmarks of our staff. We are committed to serving our members a community focused on athletics. As we navigate the “new normal,” we often have to make difficult decisions with limited information. Whether it’s our position on wearing masks, which offerings to expand, or determining the appropriate level of staffing, we have continuously asked ourselves if we are effectively contributing to our mission and are our decisions truly serving the many rather than the few?

Always choose the hard right over the easy wrong. The words “honor” and “integrity” are non-negotiable and reside at the core of everyone who has worn the uniform. I have found this to also be true of our staff. They admit when mistakes are made and lead with vulnerability. I have seen them working tirelessly at 5 a.m. and 11 p.m., long after the club has gone still and shortcuts whisper their silent temptations. I have seen them work beyond their limits to create one more class, answer one more call, or serve one more meal — all for the love of our members.

Kindness is powerful. The smallest light can be a beacon in the darkest night.

Many veterans have learned that when the world is full of chaos and most people are just trying to survive, a small act of kindness can completely redirect intentions.

I have seen both members and staff show each other immeasurable kindnesses that have drastically changed the outcome of each individual’s day.

It is a community like ours, and so many others like it, that our courageous veterans fought for in far-away lands. These heroes, who served in both peace and wartime, deserve our gratitude. Not only on this day, but every day. Most importantly, they deserve our actions to preserve a community that they fought to defend.

ne doesn’t have to look far at MAC to see proof of the club’s commitment to, and appreciation of, veterans. Right inside the Main Entrance, several plaques honor members who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

may be unique to veterans, keeping the community informed of workplace value veterans can provide, helping employees translate military skills to civilian application, and informing veterans of their state and federal veteran benefits.

ranging from physical to psychological conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, had a long way to go.

The club also gives back via its annual SPC John A Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions, honoring the U.S. Army Specialist Pelham, who was killed in February of 2014 at age 22 while serving in Afghanistan. The event celebrates his love of racquetball by featuring top tour pros and raising money for veterans’ causes such as the Live Like John Foundation.

Glazier served as a security police specialist in the U.S. Air Force from 1981 to 1990, when he switched gears to recruiting. In 1994, he was sent to Osan Air Base in South Korea, which he says was about as close as he got to “front-line” military activity. In 1997, Glazier transferred to Vandenberg, California. His job was keeping the base, which tests ICBMs and launches secret satellites in support of U.S. Intelligence, secure. After 20 years in the USAF, he became a noncommissioned officer.

“When you’re 18, you think you’re indestructible,” he explains. Enlisting seemed like the right thing to do. While he’s proud of what he accomplished, he also says that it showed him how needless death is in such circumstances can be.

“We are grateful to MAC for partnering with Live Like John in creating a worldclass event where we can celebrate the life and legacy of John and all of his active duty, retired and deceased brothers and sisters in arms,” says Wendall Pelham, John’s father.

This year’s event has been postponed until spring, and will be reimagined due to COVID. However, Head Racquetball Pro Hank Marcus says he’s looking ahead to December 2021, when he hopes the event can return to its full glory. “It’s a club tradition that embodies the spirit, care and competitiveness of MAC,” Marcus says.

Veterans DEI Network This summer, to better represent club staff diversity, a number of employee networks were formed. One is dedicated to those who’ve served. Led by Security and Parking Manager Tim Glazier and supported by Safety Manager Jeff Miller, both veterans, its goals are varied.

Future monthly meetings will cover topics such as: workplace challenges that

Miller served in the U.S. Army from 1985 to 1998, including time in the 3rd Infantry Division in West Germany during the end of the cold war, and the 24th Infantry Division during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He finished his career with the 101st Airborne at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky.

Vietnam Vet MAC Pickleball staple Gary Smith served with the U.S. Air Force’s 14th Air Commando Wing as a medic aboard a helicopter in Vietnam, rescuing other airmen who’d gone down in the field. He says that Veterans Day is a great opportunity each year to recognize the service and the ongoing challenges faced by veterans — locally and across the country.

Exposed to Agent Orange, Smith was afflicted by cancer after his term in the military. At the time, awareness and support of the long-term consequences of service,

“Thank God it’s different today,” he says. “I’m really glad they’re addressing the effects of war.”

“Each one of these conflicts appears to be a chance to learn a lesson,” he opines hopefully. “Every 25 years or so, we seem to forget, and today, it sometimes seems like background noise.”

Every year, Smith puts his flag out, and still takes its symbolism very seriously.

“There’s nobody who wasn’t affected by what we all went through. People feel good about thanking a veteran, and I think that’s great. If you really want to make a difference, consider working with a veterans’ homeless shelter or another organization serving those who’ve sacrificed.”difference, consider working with a veterans homeless shelter or another organization serving their continuing sacrifices.”

Holiday Fund for Staff Appreciation The Board of Trustees has approved the 2020 Holiday Fund, in which eligible employees receive an annual bonus, allocated based on years of service and accumulated hours during the past 12 months.

This program has been generously funded by members since 2003 to show their appreciation for the staff who make their club experiences so special. In an especially trying year, the Board of Trustees agreed this recognition of staff was still important, but have also taken into consideration the need to be thoughtful about the impact on members. This year’s Holiday Fund assessment amount is lower than previous years and will appear on members’ November statements in the amounts of $20 for member families and $15 for individuals. Members may also opt out if they choose by contacting the Accounting Office at accounting@ themac.com with “opt out” in the subject line.

All times are subject to change.

Showers Open, Safety Is the Top Priority In addition to reopening of pools in October, MAC has expanded hours of its offerings, and showers reopen on Monday, Nov. 2. Members can expect the following new safety and cleaning protocols:

- ADA bathrooms and showers accessible at Sundeck Pool and West Pool.

• Showers cleaned twice daily per OHA guidelines. Shower curtains (in the Women’s Locker Room) replaced at the end of each day.

• Towels provided on pool decks and in locker rooms.

- Every second shower is available in the Men’s Locker Room.

- All showers are open in the Women’s and Junior Girls’ Locker Rooms.

- Four shower heads are open in the Junior Boys’ Locker Room.

- On-deck showers open at all pools.

• Counter-top amenities not provided in the locker rooms; shower soap and shampoo are available in the showers.

• Hair dryers are not available in the locker rooms.

• Face coverings are required by OHA in all indoor settings except for when swimming or showering, and while dining.

Have a Voice in What Happens at MAC Join a committee for the 2021-2022 committee year!

M

AC is driven by its active and thriving committee system.

Joining a committee is one of the best ways to get involved with the club. Participating on a committee provides the best path to foster and grow new MAC friendships. From family-friendly events to budget decisions, and from project assignments to organizing special events, MAC committes lead nearly all activities that happen at the club.

MAC’s committee system is made up of eight standing committees, seven event committees, several ad hoc committees and 25 sport committees. MAC’s committee system is open to young, old, new and lifelong members. Adult resident members may apply for any committee except the Junior Events Committee, which is restricted to junior members in the eighth grade and younger.

Committee members work side-by-side with MAC’s professional staff and Board of Trustees to plan and deliver programs and carry out policies. The leadership, expertise and camaraderie shared by committee members, creates a unique community spirit, which is the foundation of MAC’s strong culture. Any member, who is selected to serve on a committee, needs to be available to commit the time and energy necessary to be a successful committee member. Several committees seek for members with specific qualifications or prior committee experience. Members do not need to provide a reference to serve on a committee. Members may offer a resume reflecting any relevant expertise, professional or volunteer experience.

Standing Committees Standing committees are defined by the Club Bylaws and report directly to the Board of Trustees. The eight standing committees are: Athletic, Budget and Finance, Communications, Diversity Admissions, House, Member Events, Membership and Property.

These committees are a key component of MAC’s governance system providing input, guidance and recommendations directly to the Board of Trustees.

Sport Committees Sport committees represent the voice of members in athletic activities. These committees communicate the needs and desires of participating members to staff and the Athletic Committee. In addition, the committees create, convey and review policies as needed. They promote athletic activities to member participants. All sport committees report to the Athletic Committee, which provides an Athletic Committee liaison to serve as a communication link between the Athletic Committee and the sport committee. The 25 sport committees are: Basketball, Climbing, Cycling, Dance, Early Birds, Exercise and Decathlon, Golf, Gymnastics, Handball, Karate, Outdoor Activities, Pilates, Racquetball, Ski, Studio Fitness, Squash, Swim, Synchro, Tennis, Triathlon and Running, Volleyball, Walking & Hiking, Water Fitness, Water Volleyball and Yoga.

2019 All-Committee Dinner

Event Committees Event committees represent the voice of members in MAC’s wide range of social activities. Through meetings and other input, these committees provide to staff and the Member Events Committee the needs and desires of members. In addition, the committees communicate, create and draft revisions to club policies and promote social activities to members and their guests. The event committees plan activities, provide volunteer help in event preparation, and offer ideas and volunteers to prepare for and assist at events. A Member Events Committee liaison attends event committee meetings to serve as the communication link between the Board of Trustees and the event committees. The seven event committees are: 20s/30s, Balladeers, Culture & Style, Family Events, Holiday Decorating, MelloMacs and Social Activities.

Board and Ad Hoc Committees These committees are designed to meet targeted MAC needs, oftentimes for a specific duration. Currently, these committees are: Ad Hoc E & C Modernization Project, Ad Hoc Facility Access Project, Ad Hoc Campus Master Plan, Arts Subcommittee (Subcommittee of Property), Audit, Community Relations (Subcommittee of Communications), Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Investments (Subcommittee of Budget & Finance), Junior Events, Land Use and Technology Advisory.

Take advantage of this once-a-year application process. The committee system allows members to give a voice to their passions and expertise. Committee participation also provides an excellent opportunity to enhance one’s MAC experience, build new friendships and have input into what happens at the club.

Submit a committee interest form available online no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 31. For more information contact committees@themac.com.

Complete an Application Today Applications are now available online and are due no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 31.

This is the first year for fully online committee interest forms, and At Your Service is available to help with any technical difficulties.

In Memoriam Susan Hammer Dec. 14, 1948-Aug. 26, 2020 Susan Hammer, a trailblazing lawyer, mediator and community leader, passed away Aug. 26, 2020 in Portland. The daughter of Harriette and Stanley Hammer, she was born Dec. 14, 1948 in Salem, and graduated from South Salem High School.

She graduated from Willamette University College of Law in 1976 and served as law clerk for Justice James Dolliver on the Washington State Supreme Court. She practiced law at Stoel Rives for 20 years, beginning in 1978. She was one of the first women to become a partner in a major Portland law firm; she practiced in the areas of commercial litigation and labor and employment law.

Susan had a lifetime commitment to community service, as the first woman president of the Multnomah Bar Association and through extensive board and pro bono work. She was one of the early recipients, in 1987, of the Women of Achievement Award from the Oregon Commission for Women, and received the outstanding Alumni Award from Willamette University in 1991.

Susan developed an intense interest in mediation as early as 1988 as a way to provide a less expensive and more satisfying way for clients to solve legal disputes.

In 1998, with the encouragement of her friend and mentor, the late Sidney I. Lezak, Susan left Stoel Rives to start her own mediation practice. She was one of the first women in Portland to establish a mediation practice in an area of law that was little understood or used. Over the next 20 years, she mediated thousands of cases covering a wide range of disputes and served as a senior fellow at the Willamette University Center for Dispute Resolution.

She received national recognition from the International Academy of Mediators,

which invited her to serve on its board and awarded her its Presidential Honor Award in 2012 and 2014. She was listed in the top tier of The Best Lawyers in America and was named Oregon Mediation “Lawyer of the Year” in 2012.

Her success as a mediator gave Susan the flexibility to continue to pursue her passion for community service. She served as chair of the board of Planned Parenthood of the Columbia-Willamette, chair of its capital campaign for the new regional service center and was the first recipient of the Planned Parenthood Susan Hammer Award for Transformative Leadership.

Her other major roles in the community included president of the City Club of Portland; life trustee of the Willamette University Board; the boards of the Pacific Northwest College of Art; EcoTrust; and, most recently, the Literary Arts and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

With or without a title, her hard work and commitment thrust her into leadership roles in all of the organizations she served. Among her many awards were the Multnomah Bar Association Professionalism Award, and the first Sally Lawrence President’s Award that was presented this year to Susan and her partner of 30 years, sculptor Lee Kelly, by Pacific Northwest College of Art. Susan and Lee traveled the world together. While trekking in Nepal, they became close friends with their sherpa.

Susan supported his children through their schooling. Susan loved the Pacific Northwest and her greatest joy was backpacking, hiking and savoring nature and outdoor adventures. Susan’s exposure to world cultures enriched her life of spirituality and supported her transition into the divine mystery. She passed with a heart full of gratitude and love.

Susan’s most important legacy is as a true friend to the many people whose lives she touched and as a devoted aunt to her nephews and niece. In addition to Lee Kelly, she is survived by her brothers, Paul, Jim and Tom Hammer; her beloved niece, Danielle; nephews, John, Peter, Eric, Jax, Casey, Sean, Jake and Josh; and by six beautiful children of the next generation.

She is especially grateful to her Healing Circle, her caregivers and her loving and supportive friends and family.

C.E.S. Wood said, “Good citizens are the riches of a city.” The riches that Susan Hammer bestowed on Portland, the state of Oregon and her many friends and family will be enduring. Plans for a memorial service will be announced later. Donations in her memory may be made to Friends of The Columbia Gorge, Literary Arts, Hoyt Arboretum Friends, Willamette University or the charity of your choice.

Scott Martin Niedermeyer Oct. 17, 1961-Sept. 15, 2020 Scott “Scotty” Martin Niedermeyer, loving husband and father of four beautiful children, passed away Tuesday, Sept.

15, at the age of 58. He was born Oct. 17, 1961 in Portland and was the youngest of Linus James Niedermeyer Sr. and Beverly (Briles) Niedermeyer’s five children. He lived his entire life in Portland, attending grade school at St. Mary’s Cathedral Elementary School. He graduated from Jesuit High School in 1980 and earned a bachelor’s degree from Portland State University where he studied history, geomorphology and photography. Scott took great pride in singing in the Jesuit High School and Portland State choirs, as he had an immense love for music. It was not uncommon for him to break out in song with friends and family.

Continued from page 19 Scott was a born adventurer and gifted outdoorsman, as demonstrated by his summiting Mount Hood over a dozen times along with many other mountains in the Cascades. He hiked the Pacific Crest trail at age 12. He was just 10 years old when his mother heard a loud voice proudly calling “hi!” from their 50-foot fir tree.

The fire department was called to get him down. Scott had a great sense of humor and a keen sense of the absurd, loving the movie The Big Lebowski. He could mimic anyone and did so to the delight of his family.

Scott was most happy in the mountains and near the water, particularly when he shared those adventures with wife Stacy, their children, extended family and friends.

Scott lived his life fully, with speed and with an infectious youthful energy. It was not uncommon to hear his powerful voice telling us to “turn off the television and get outside.” A strenuous beautiful hike was always on the calendar, at times a solitary

activity, but more often with Stacy or one of his children. A love for speed and adrenaline was at Scott’s core. Activities such as helicopter skiing, mountain climbing and car racing brought him energy and joy.

Snow skiing was the sport enjoyed by the entire Niedermeyer family and was often shared with friends and extended family.

Scott married his best friend Stacy (McKinnon) Niedermeyer on July 31, 1993. As Scott tells the story, they met on the sixth grade ski bus, but Stacy may have a different recollection. They wed at Mount Hood, a place dear to their hearts.

Raising active, adventurous children with a love and understanding of the outdoors was a priority for Scott and Stacy. A Jesuit education was fundamental to Scott’s upbringing and they ensured their children attended the same schools that shaped his early life. Scott was a loving and present father who regularly teared up with pride when talking about his kids. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family and graciously opened his homes to all. His children describe him as a passionate, genuine, larger than life father who was engaged

not only in their lives but also in the lives of their friends and hundreds of his family members, sharing his love of adventure and making sure that everyone felt cared for.

His loyalty and friendship came without limits. If you were his friend, he had your back. There will forever be a void in thousands of lives as a result of Scott’s passing and his voice, the voice, will be forever engraved in their memories. Life will never be the same without him, but “The Dude Abides,” lives on through all who knew him.

Scott is survived by the love of his life, Stacy McKinnon Niedermeyer, his children and greatest source of pride, Eleanor (fiancé Lorenzo Bissonnette), Lillian, McKinnon and Joseph, alongside father Linus Niedermeyer Sr. and wife Masa, siblings Debra, Linda, Molly and Linus Jr., as well as many nieces, nephews, a great nephew and a great niece. He was predeceased by his mother, Beverly.

Memorial donations may be made to worldncompass.org.

MAF Commends Elevate Oregon with 2020 Impact Award

T

he Multnomah Athletic Foundation annually awards more than $100,000 in grants to nonprofit community partners that support youth athletic participation.

Each fall, the foundation recognizes one of those partners with the Impact Award, which goes to the organization that best exemplified community collaboration over the last 12 months. The 2020 winner, Elevate Oregon, serves Parkrose, Oregon’s second-most diverse school district.

Elevate’s Deputy Director Paul Morris shares how the nonprofit is building relationships and changing lives:

Parkrose staff to get academic support in English and math, future planning, peer bonding and field trips in and around Portland.

We know kids need to be healthy to be at their best academically. In our summer and after-school programs, students don’t just get a leg up on their academic and professional lives, they get outside for some fun healthy activities, time in nature and playing sports! Last year, the Multnomah

Athletic Foundation’s partnership funded Elevate’s free summer program, including a basketball camp, which helped kids learn resiliency, bond with their peers, develop or continue healthy habits, prepare for the school year and build community.

Our focus on self-sufficiency, resilience and integrity instills a positive work ethic and a career-minded attitude in students who often lack the role models who can Continued on page 25

“Here at Elevate Oregon, we address historical disparities experienced by underserved, at-risk Parkrose youth through a community-driven approach of daily connection, wraparound services and innovative teaching strategies. We’re here to give youth, who face a myriad of obstacles to success, a fighting chance to reach their dreams. We work toward those solutions every day with in-school classes as well as after-school and summer programming.

help them carve a path to success. Last year’s African American Career Day Panel was a highlight for me in this area. Ten Black Portland professionals led small roundtable discussions with youth, engaging in insightful conversations and sharing their pathway to success. The all-star speaker lineup included individuals from Wieden & Kennedy, Intel, the Portland Police Bureau, the National Association of Minority Contractors, Multnomah County Education Service District, the City of Portland Office of Human Rights and Allianz Global Investors.

Each panelist volunteered their time because they know what it’s like to be a student of color in a school district where teachers often don’t look like their students. Currently 67 percent of Parkrose students and 92 percent of Elevate students are youth of color, while 87 percent of their teachers are white. The challenges that confront Elevate students put them at significant risk. We know it can take a variety of life-changing opportunities, like our career panel, to reach a community of atrisk kids, and we’re working hard to provide those opportunities here in Parkrose.

HOLIDAY FASHION SHOW

Breaks Boundaries Models, designers tell stories of style leading up to virtual event.

By Jake Ten Pas

E

very year, the Holiday Fashion Show is one of the hottest tickets at MAC. Members who don’t register immediately might not get behind the velvet rope, and even lightning-fast reflexes are no guarantee of a seat. Event staff know that accommodating everyone who wants to attend will possibly be an unsolvable puzzle.

Now, imagine if there was no velvet rope. What if everyone who wanted to attend, could?

The theme of this year’s Holiday Fashion Show is Style Has No Boundaries, and in keeping with a spirit of limitless possibility, all barriers to making the scene have been removed. That’s because this year’s event is virtual for the first time in its history, meaning every member can witness the fashion, friendship, fun and utter fabulousness for themselves!

LIZ WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

Erasing boundaries has more than just one meaning when it comes to any creative pursuit. For the designers, models, retailers and others who contribute to this community effort each year, style is a force of liberation, helping each to realize facets of their personality of which they can be proud. As MAC continues to celebrate diversity and improve representation for all within the club, the upcoming virtual event is a chance to spotlight the range of people and personalities that make style a language without borders.

What follows are the responses, in their own words, of four previous and current fashion show participants. They were asked, simply, “How has style helped to erase boundaries in your personal life?”

This year’s event includes styles from Ale O, Collier Officina, Foundation, Garnish, N’Kossi Boutique, O’Field, Oxalis and Sabina’s Style.

HOLIDAY FASHION SHOW Janice Marquis HFS model, member and former MAC president “I have never thought of myself as a model, and I must admit when I was first contacted by Staige Davis Hodges to participate in the show last year, I was quite surprised. My first thought was, ‘Absolutely not!’ I have friends and acquaintances who had participated as models in the MAC fashion show over the years, and they all seemed much better suited to the runway. However, after some time thinking about it, I thought, ‘Why not?’ I know those who had done it before really enjoyed the experience. New challenges are always exciting and this, I thought, would be a challenge!

When I was informed that there were going to be approximately 21 models, I assumed I would probably just be asked to wear one outfit, and I could certainly do that. Second thoughts creeped in when I saw the list of models and their ages. It looked like I was going to be one of the oldest in the show. An evening orientation in the Ballroom convinced me that I was going to be working with an amazing group of models, four of whom were men.

There was electricity in the room for every show, and even when you can’t see them, you can sense the audience is cheering for you.

As the shows progressed, the models got more comfortable and closer to each other, so that after the final show, we were all one happy family. I have attended the fashion show for probably the last six or seven years, but I never knew the show was so well-organized. I earned a great appreciation for the tremendous amount of work that is done before, after and during the show. MAC staff, member chairs and volunteers work just as hard, if not harder, than the models.”

LIZ WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

That night, we took a spin down the runway, and it was obvious that a few of the women had done this before. Shortly after our orientation, we had appointments for fittings — I had four outfits!

The clothes were fabulous, and I loved everything I was going to wear. There was a dress rehearsal the night before and make-up sessions before each show. I could get into this! Our dressing room in the library was a beehive of activity. Each model had one or two ‘dressers’ to help them quickly change in between segments of the show. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

The chaos behind the scenes added to the electric atmosphere.

Four shows doesn’t sound like much, but it actually can be pretty exhausting. The first runway experience was scary. I, for one, was nervous, and I don’t think I was alone in that feeling. We had a great producer and assistant who timed our release to the runway and always gave us words of encouragement as we stepped into the spotlight. The lights are pretty darn bright, which makes it a little difficult to see a majority of the audience. But it was wonderful when you could see smiling, cheering, waving friends. I actually thought, ‘I can do this!’ about 15 more times. After the first walk, it was absolute fun. I loved doing it.

HOLIDAY FASHION SHOW Ale O, aka Alejandra Oyervides Owner and designer, Ale O, Portland aleomoda.com “Life has taught me things sometimes the easy way and sometimes, oh boy, the hard way.

Now, as a scholar of life in my 40s, there are many things I am trying to unlearn, and one of them is this idea of restraining myself and conforming to the standards, socially and culturally, about the images that we are to comply with, especially as women.

Growing up in Mexico, I learned that there was a mold in which we were supposed to carry ourselves. The one that was offered to me was one of discomfort and people-pleasing. I went along with it, but I was never truly happy.

It wasn’t until I was given the opportunity to travel, when I lived in Canada, that I was able to see so many cultures and

trends. Later, I was fortunate to land in the U.S., and this is where I decided to take a leap and unfold my desire to make a difference, first for myself and then for my two girls.

I have learned that instead of being good, bad, perfect, or wrong, it is best to be free!

Fashion, to me, is freedom of expression and individualism.

What I am trying to communicate with every one of my garments is that you don’t have to be contained; you can have the best of both worlds, fashion and comfort.

I am so excited to step into the genderfree arena, the idea that garments are created to embellish anybody is a great sign of evolution and overall freedom, the freedom to erase all boundaries.”

Jean Pierre Nugloze Owner and designer, N’Kossi Boutique, Portland Nkossi.com “As a designer, I like to have new ideas about what I am going to wear and what I am going to create. Fashion is how I express myself. I like to be clean and present myself well. I like to see women wearing nice dresses and men wearing nice outfits. It makes me feel good. It’s part of fashion, to see how people present themselves through what they wear.

and create outfits for us!’ And so, I started from there. I went to fashion school for four years in Lome, Togo, where I grew up. From there, I started to do my own business by creating outfits for people and sewing for clients. It was good to learn how you can be creative with someone, like see someone and create something that fits that person perfectly.

At the same time, I like to make people look different than usual, and unique.

Sometimes people don’t feel free to wear what they want, and I can work with them to design something that represents who they are inside. Fashion has no boundaries except for the limit of what you are comfortable to wearing.

We opened N’Kossi Boutique in 2015, one year after I moved to the U.S. It was started with one of my friends, who is also from Togo. The idea was that I would do the sewing, and he would sell imported items like jewelry made by artisans in Togo and West Africa. After things got started, the clothing and designs were selling well, and so I decided to focus the business on the couture fashions. Now I continue to work with clients to erase boundaries in their lives through the clothing we design together.”

Becoming a designer started when I was 16. I had two friends who were women, young like me, and they were always telling me ‘You are going to be a designer

HFS model and MAC member “My style has allowed me to express my fun and outgoing personality. I feel most women can agree, it’s a representation of ourselves.

My style is very influenced by my Mexican culture. Using a lot of the style from Mexico not only reminds me of home, but it is also very joyful and fresh.

In Mexico, bright colors are very common, and they always bring life into the room.

My home has brightly colored pottery from Mexico, and my closet is full of brightly colored clothing.

These colors most definitely come into play when I go out to dance with friends and family. Dancing is my favorite pastime; it allows me to feel connected to my heritage, feel free, and express my style.

Traveling around the world has allowed me to see different styles that go outside of my comfort zone. I always buy an artifact from the area I travel to. My style is definitely an expression of myself, my heritage and my experiences.” WM

WELLNESS

Staying Healthy Against the Clock

I

’ve been a relatively healthy individual my whole life. Like most people, some periods have been healthier than others.

I didn’t eat well in college. I didn’t sleep enough when piecing together five jobs to pay the rent when I moved to Portland.

I might have developed tinnitus from playing drums and watching bands too close to the stage, but it made me happy.

Would I do some things differently if I could? Of course. Did I need those experiences to learn and grow into who I am today? Absolutely.

As a new dad, I’m trying to balance a new routine with my need to stay healthy.

What follows are some strategies I’ve adopted to stay on track with less and less time to stay physically and mentally fit.

Use one or more of these ideas to kickstart your journey, whether you’re spending more time in a demanding job, your new work-from-home routine has kept you from coming to MAC, or you have to squeeze in a workout while making sure your kid’s don’t drift from virtual school into YouTube land.

I’m now in a new phase of my health journey, and it’s governed by time. How do I stay healthy with less time to focus on myself?

• Get in short workouts. When I know I have a short window for a workout, but I know it won’t suffice for my needs, I will do multiple short workouts each day.

48 | The Wınged M |

NOVEMBER 2020

I’ll do a 30-minute HIIT circuit before helping with diaper duty, go about my day, and when I have another window, I’ll do one more later in the day.

• Use Instacart or grocery delivery.

It’s great to mix things up in the kitchen, but if you’re tight on time, make your family’s favorite dinners from familiar recipes, or order a pre-made MAC meal. Ordering food online to pick-up or be delivered also cuts down on random sweets and treats that are easy to impulsively grab in-store.

• Accept help. When someone lends a hand, grab on, thank them for the help, and remember their contribution down the line.

• Prioritize. I recently watched a conversation between authors Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Nora Roberts. When asked about priorities, Roberts explained that “The key is knowing that some of the balls you have in the air are made of plastic and some are made of glass.” Barnes followed up by noting Roberts wasn’t talking about two balls (family or work), but more like 50, representing all one’s obligations in everyday life. It’s important to distinguish between the glass balls: “picking the kids up from daycare, making sure dinner’s on

It can be difficult to take a step back and look at the positives when our focus remains on a year that continues to bring unprecedented difficulty. the table, or meeting a deadline on a project,” and the plastic ones: “crazy hair day at school, staying caught up on your email inbox.” We are inevitably going to drop a ball from time to time, and that’s OK. She summarized by saying (to a room full of women, I will note) that the point is not to “prioritize kids over work.” It is that “some kid stuff is glass and some is plastic, and sometimes, to catch a glass work ball, you have to drop a plastic family one, and that is okay.” I never thought I would relate so much with Nora Roberts, but here we are.

In closing, I want to recognize the inherent privilege of self-care. It can be difficult to take a step back and look at the positives when our focus remains on a year that continues to bring unprecedented difficulty.

Some see 2020 as a year to forget, but it’s important to reflect on the struggles we go through so we can improve. The fact that we have time and resources to dedicate to our health, whether it’s a workout, a moment alone to reflect, a weekend away in nature, time with family, a massage, or a delicious and nourishing meal, puts us in a space that should be recognized as fortunate. It allows us to live happier, healthier and longer, and pass love and respect to others in a time when it’s needed most. It’s OK to acknowledge that advantage. What you do with that appreciation makes a difference, so use it wisely.

A Good Night’s Sleep We spend one-third, approximately 25 years, of our lives sleeping. Seems important, doesn’t it? And it is.

Sleep is when our bodies go into repair mode. The body and mind hit reset, so that the next morning we are ready to tackle the day. Lack of deep, restorative sleep may, at the very least, makes one tired and grumpy during the day. However, there are also long-term effects of chronic lack of sleep. One is a negative impact on the immune system. Studies have shown a potential 200 percent increase in the possibility of catching certain viruses and infections due to poor sleep, which is particularly relevant these days.

Most readers are likely aware of the importance of good sleep hygiene. For example, electronics before bed may have a negative effect on one’s ability to go to sleep, and a cool, dark room may help one sleep more soundly.

What might not be as well known is the influence nutrition can have on sleep. Certain foods and nutrients can increase serotonin (happy hormone) and melatonin (sleep hormone). The more melatonin levels are boosted at night, the sounder sleep will be. Tryptophan is the main ingredient (amino acid) in making melatonin, so eating tryptophan-rich foods, such as seeds, cheese, and meats, help increase melatonin levels. Zinc is necessary in the metabolism of melatonin. Zinc supplements and zinc-rich foods, such as oysters, seem to improve sleep as well as the immune system response. On the other hand, alcohol and caffeine not only affect the ability to fall asleep, but decrease sleep quality as well.

Consider making small changes in sleep hygiene and nutritional choices to get a better night’s sleep, which in turn will improve mood and health. Live well!

A Tennis Player for All Seasons

Checking off Antarctica — the last of the seven continents he had yet to visit.

MAC doubles dynamo John Popplewell is still going strong

By Jake Ten Pas

A

is in the eye of the “be older.” A spring chicken by almost any definition, MAC Tennis titan John Popplewell is, at the age of 78, just hitting his stride. Over the summer, he received the dual honors of making the club’s Gallery of Champions and being selected by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to represent the U.S. at the International Tennis Federation Super-Senior World Team Championship in Mallorca, Spain.

Asked which honor means the most to him, Popplewell appears to hold a rally with himself in his own mind. “Long-range, the Gallery of Champions has been a goal of mine since I walked through the front door in 2005, and I’m pretty ecstatic. I’ve seen the people chosen for it, and thought it was a pretty tough deal to get in.”

On the other side of the court, “It’s an incredible honor to be picked as one of four people in the whole country for my age

group. I figured I’d make the team when I was in my 80s, but wasn’t so sure I’d make it this year. I want the biggest and best, and I want to win at the highest level. That would probably be it!”

On whichever side of the net the ball falls, Popplewell puts both achievements into his sporting-life top three, along with being inducted into the Southern Oregon University Sports Hall of Fame in September 2017. While he’s always been goal-oriented, competitive and ambitious, even Popplewell, Pops, or just Pop — depending on who’s talking — might not have been able to predict just how far the game would take him when he first started playing on Coos Bay courts as a seventh grader. Back then, the age of 40 seemed ancient, and being the talk of the local barbershop a noble and lofty pursuit.

The Serve It was in college that Popplewell first realized tennis could be a sport for a lifetime. He remembers buying magazines such as World Tennis and following all the scores of guys playing around age 35 or even, gasp, in their 40s.

“At the time, when I was 18, I thought 40 was really old. Now, I figure maybe it’s not so old,” he says, laughing.

In the 1950s and early ’60s, he recalls, Marshfield High School’s teams were very competitive, and often victorious, against the best sports teams in the state. It was a small logging town, and Popplewell remembers walking to the barbershop and listening to men getting their hair cut and talking enthusiastically about sports, particularly football. That made a big impression, and living across the streets from tennis courts and a baseball field, with a swimming pool just up the street, didn’t exactly

ATHLETICS

“Eickworth and I decided at some point that we were going to be buddies forever, and so when we hit our 50s, we’d go out and start winning national championships together in doubles,” Popplewell recalls of their strong bond.

Hall of Champions MAC is full of champions, and there are several spaces celebrating them. In addition to the Wall of Fame in the Main Lobby, the hallway between Studio One and Studio Three pays tribute to some of the club’s greatest competitors. Previously located in the E&C Gallery, it might have been officially renamed the Hall of Champions when moved to the basement, but many still call it the Gallery. Being added it to it is considered a great honor within MAC, and committees are able to nominate outstanding members for inclusion. For more information on how to do so, email hmarcus@themac.com.

But first, there was the small matter of getting through college, and Pop decided to make the most of it. His first year playing tennis for SOU, the team took on OSU and pulled off a huge upset. They went on to beat other NCAA schools such as Seattle University and University of Oregon.

SOU pride.

dissuade him from pursuing athletic glory.

He started playing basketball and baseball in the third grade, and was eventually ntroduced to tennis by his best friend, Larry Eickworth.

“I was just a little guy, 5’6 at my tallest, and now I’m 5’5”, but I knew I wanted to letter in high school my freshman year,” he says. Initially earning the spot of sixth man early that season, his buddy’s bad luck would turn out to be his opportunity.

Playing against Springfield High School, Eickworth won his match, and went to jump over the net to shake his opponent’s hand. He didn’t quite make it, and severely sprained his ankle.

“It was a big deal because we were an NAIA school beating NCAA schools.

Our team didn’t lose a league match in four years. We qualified for two NAIA National Championships in Kansas City, Missouri, and we finished eighth overall my last year there.”

Following graduation, Popplewell went on to a successful career at Portland’s Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. After 28 years, he was able to retire at the age of 52, allowing him to get back to his real interest, tennis. While he’d found a home for his career, it would be a few more years before he’d find an equivalent nest for his athletic ambitions.

“I got moved to the number five spot, played the necessary amount of matches and lettered. I was one of two freshman at Marshfield who did, and we had 300 kids in each grade. Here I am, small for my age, wearing my letterman jacket, and I said, ‘OK, I’m all in for tennis.’”

Each year, he steadily improved, jumping up to number one on the team his senior year. He also lettered in basketball and played American Legion baseball. By the time he made his way to Southern Oregon, his love of athletics was firmly cemented.

Waiting there was a familiar face with whom he would begin to cast his gaze further into the future.

The Return Eickworth was already ensconced at SOU when Popplewell arrived after spending his freshman year at Oregon State University, and the two were soon roommates. After taking a year off due to eligibility requirements, Pop was ready to compete the following year.

Popplewell and Eickworth never did achieve their goal of being doubles champions together in their 50s. In 1990, they won the Idaho Men’s 45 Open State Championship Title in Sun Valley. Three years later, the fair-skinned, red-headed Eickworth passed from melanoma.

Pop recalls meeting him on the Gallatin River, where Eickworth and his wife had a summer place. “Unfortunately, I’ve got to go to the oncology center in Woodlands in Texas to deal with cancer,” his friend confided.

“I retired at 52, but I didn’t have him as a partner, and he was phenomenal,” Popplewell says. “I’ve always had his name on my racquet, and he’s the guy I play for.

He got me into tennis, and I want to win for him as much as myself. We grew up in an area where winning was a big deal, and no matter what, we were competing. I still have that in my blood. It’s just part of my DNA.”

New Match “You need an incredible amount of patience to win in tennis. You need to be mentally tough, obviously. Patience along with mental toughness is a big part of the formula for winning matches.”

Pop first applied for MAC membership back in 1982. He’d learned to bide his time on the court, which served him well in the years to come. He tried three more times before finally being accepted through the lottery in 2005.

In the meantime, he continued to refine his game with life and practice partner Patsy Bruggere, with whom he’s traveled the world over 34 years. “She’s an exceptional player and an even better person,” he says, giving her due credit for the role she’s played in helping him to stay sharp.

Popplewell recently returned from a rare solo trip to Antarctica, the last of the seven continents he had yet to visit. “I’ve been to 40 countries around the world,” he rattles off.

Statistics get Pop pumped. He’s caught 1,200 salmon and steelhead out of rivers in his life, and more than 20,000 fish total.

He’s an avid fly fisherman, too, because of course he is.

“Being the sports junkie I am, I love everything MAC has to offer. It’s just a home away from home. It offers everything a true sportsman could love. MAC is like going into an ice cream shop with 31 flavors, except MAC has probably 100 flavors, and they’re all good!”

When Pop finally found his way into the promised land halfway through “the aughts,” he decided to make up for lost time.

Still Rallying Over his tennis career, Popplewell has won 328 championship titles in singles, doubles or team events, and has been ranked No. 1 for his age group in doubles 25 times since 2000. But even just since the time he joined MAC, he’s won 11 gold, silver or bronze balls at Category I USTA National Championship events, and more than 30 Category II USTA National Championships. He was ranked No. 1 in USA Men’s 75 Doubles at the end of 2017.

He’s proud of these accomplishments, but never takes himself as seriously as the game. Ask Tennis Committee Chair Andrew Randles, Head Coach Paul Reber, or admirer Jim Lekas, and they’ll all tell you stories of both Pop’s bold competitive spirit and humble commitment to etiquette and sportsmanship. He’s never too busy to clean the yellow fuzz off the courts after a session with the ball machine, and he often takes time out to offer coaching to younger players still developing their games.

“I’ve always respected the game of tennis from A to Z,” Pop responds when presented with these details. That means a lifelong pursuit of self-improvement, and preferring defeat at the hands of a worthy competitor over lopsided triumph.

“You don’t have to look very far to find somebody that can whip you,” he points out. “I like to be tested. I’m always looking ahead to the next match. My main thing is just staying healthy and continuing to improve. I’m actually really looking forward to playing in the 85s division.”

“I still have, for my age, quickness, anticipation, and a long history of playing lots of matches and just staying in shape,” he says. “I’m thinking like a 30 year old and I should maybe think like a 78 year old.

But I don’t believe I’m really that old, you know?” WM

Before the club’s temporary shutdown earlier this year due to COVID-19, our functional fitness area was on the east side of the Ledge, outside the Spin Studio, which also housed various cardio and strength-training machines. Because the space was limited, members and personal trainers tended to overflow into the Hall of Champions — an area never designed for exercise activity. We clearly needed more room for these types of exercises!

The 15 members advising the E&C Modernization project bring a collective 270 years of experience as adult MAC members. When completed in early 2021, the remodeled Exercise and Conditioning Room will include 2,800 square feet of space designed for functional fitness, including a 1,200-square-foot turf area.

That’s up from 600 square feet of previous total area.

As the Court Gently Weeps

by Susan Adams Nealy

A

s the morning sun strains to break past dense gray clouds hovering over the city, members from all corners of Portland dart toward the club. Since 1981, MAC Morning Ballers (MMB) have lit up the West Gym each Tuesday and Thursday morning at 5:30 sharp for a game of five-on-five, full-court basketball. These early-bird devotees have slid sideways down snowy hills and waded through muddy puddles, often feeling soggy and cold, but they arrived. Now, for the first time in almost 40 years, the oppressive spread of COVID-19 has disrupted their timehonored tradition.

The gym radiates a faint echo, rims remain motionless, high-tops sit stagnant. The camaraderie forged around the love of an orange ball waits in anticipation of another run. ”When coronavirus came in March and stopped our games, it hit me hard” reflects Eric Haskins, an MMB regular. Raising an eyebrow, he continues, “There’s not just one thing I miss. From writing my name on the chalkboard at 5:45, to grabbing a cup of coffee, stretching, chatting with the others, dishing a bit of trash-talk, hitting a game winner, watching a guy make a great play to cool-down and conversations about any range of topics — I miss every bit of it.”

It all began when Stan Hubert, Mike Nealy, John Vander Cook and Tom Mulflur discovered a shared passion: starting the morning working out with good friends. At the time, only super-competitive noontime ball was in play at MAC. “We had one gym back then, with the running track circling above,” notes Mike. “The four of us met in the gym on a Tuesday morning and began yelling up at the runners to join in. Bud Berg heeded the recruitment call and MAC Morning Ballers was born. Bud, now age 91, recalls, “Back then, the club locked down all equipment [overnight], so we’d eagerly wait for Mike to bring his leather basketball so we could lace up.”

Some of the guys have been playing close to 30 years, including regulars Jack Strayer and Tom Whittaker. And players from all professions have joined in. ¬Execs and ad agency gurus, high school students, college kids, retired members and super-stars share the court. Their hoop-prowess on full display.

All are welcome.

NOVEMBER 2020

Adam Sandler joined MMB as a guest of Paul Schommer.

By the 1990s, while Rip City was contending for another NBA Western Conference title, and even without email reminders, players swelled to more than a dozen each morning. Incentivized by fun and a chance to be first at the chalkboard sign-in, guys would speed past the Goose Hollow Inn and into the parking structure, throw a friendly wave at the night manager and climb up to the gym, ready to run.

Over the years, certain MMB stories have become legendary. One icy Tuesday morning in the early ’80s, when only a handful of players showed up, Eric Haskins ribbed Mike Nealy: “More guys would show up if we had hot coffee.” Mike, who doesn’t drink the stuff, began brewing Boyd’s Coffee and hauling hot pots from home to the gym and back again. And he still does. Although to the guys’ delight, Starbucks now fills the pots.

Building MAC Family Tradition Thanksgiving morning is a multigeneration family affair, better known as “Turkey Day,” and a genuine celebration of friendships and fun around basketball. A few players without local family yearn for the

return of what was an early MMB tradition — hoops followed by a full Thanksgiving turkey dinner served with mashed potatoes, gravy pumpkin pie with all the trimmings.

This November, the gym will likely be COVID-closed, but photos from the past will emerge from neglected gym bags and evoke smiles of gratitude.

When Judah Garfinkel showed up early with five-month-old son Leo wrapped in his arms, the guys didn’t blink. They responded with MAC-size hearts. Each chipped in to share “binky and blankie duty” at intervals so Judah could shoot a few. Eric adds, “We have an amazing group of guys from all walks of life and all skill levels that for the better part all get along real well. We often refer to ourselves as family because many strong friendships and business relationships have been developed over the years. At times we have players ranging in age from teenage through their 70s on the court competing at the same time for friendly competition.”

ATHLETICS

Relentless Ribbing Show up late? “Oh, the other group won’t let you play anymore”’ a heckler chimes in. Overslept?’ Responses are likely to be, “What did you do last night?’ or “Hey, we guys used to be important to you!” Heckling flies effortlessly through the air. Even when celebs like Steve Johnson, Adam Sandler and Terry Porter showed up, jabs continued.

Newbies soon learn that fits of temper get them nowhere because it simply is not part of the MMB culture. Instead, lifetime friendships are forged between fist bumps and free throws and rich MAC culture is perpetuated.

Staying Connected This summer, the guys hadn’t seen one another since March, so a virtual meeting date was planned. Fifteen guys popped up in their respective boxes. To their ribbing delight, a few appeared sporting splotchy beards. And, to their amazement, there was the introduction of a beautiful newborn and future MAC Morning Baller. Now more than ever, each expressed appreciation for the network of friends they’d built over the years and all agreed to a 100-free-throw challenge to keep each other strong, positive and in the game. “No amount of Zoom calls with the group will bring it back, but I do enjoy them,” Eric states. “The real sad thing is we probably won’t be back on the court again for many months to a year or more. But I know that day will come and it (and I) will be awesome.”

Under the Rim

emotional benefit. “Team sports definitely contribute to building the individual beyond the game itself,” Eric notes. “You learn how to work together, how to deal with weak links or bad attitudes and the effects those things have on team performance. The lessons of humility and persistence and to finish what you start are valuable too. ” When asked about the group’s value, Mike admits “At my age I’m now the last kid picked on the playground. For me it is less about the workout and all about the camaraderie and relationships. Just being with the guys is healthy for me. I miss that now.” Bud Berg adds, “As a young MAC Morning Baller, I could keep up with the ‘kids.’ Now, in my 90s, I live with many memories of 5 a.m. basketball and the great guys I bonded with after they hollered at me on the running track all those years ago. I considered it an honor to be part of the group.”

It’s important to recognize that it often takes a life-altering event, like a pandemic, for us to truly appreciate the parts of our lives that work. MAC Morning Ballers delivers a strong return on investment. A lesson in gratitude. The day will come when the guys will gather again in-person as basketball brothers. Until then, MAC’s family friendly culture and support of MMB has cemented decades of friendships across multiple generations. Players’ general consensus is that their lives are richer and their families stronger for being a part of it. This is true home-court advantage. Play on, guys!

These days, it is understandable that MMB players feel a hoop-shape void. Not only is the game missed, but their deep friendships as well. Athletic participation clearly enjoys a physical, social and

Tennis Survey Insights

Staying Safe and Getting Back on the Courts

Trying to get a better handle on what members want and value in a comprehensive MAC Tennis program was the overreaching goal of the Tennis Committee’s spring survey.

Committee members spent the better part of two meetings reviewing the responses, but have only just begun to examine the data, which ultimately will help them make important decisions with respect to the club’s tennis community.

Come what may, virus, smoke or rain, MAC Tennis is firing up offerings to get members on the court and get their game in top shape.

The work ahead includes taking a closer look at the nuances of member responses as well as folding in the written member comments. The committee is looking forward to spending more time disaggregating the data to help guide them forward to offer more of what MAC members want in a vibrant, engaging and fun tennis program.

Given that a tennis court covers just over 2,800 square feet, with 78 feet between baselines, it should come as no surprise that the sport has been touted as one of the safest activities during the pandemic.

Social distancing in tennis is inherently part of the game, and it is relatively easy not to touch the same tennis balls as others on the court.

MAC Tennis Committee 2020 Survey 578 respondents, 359 complete responses

Players needing to fine tune their stroke or strategy can find a wide variety of classes on the Camp & Class Guide page at themac.com.

Those looking for competitive opportunities are encouraged to consider the MAC Singles Ladders as well as the newly reformatted Open Play events, which are now called River Nights. More information on both opportunities is available on the MAC Tennis webpage.

The purpose of this survey was to further understand MAC’s Tennis community.

• In which activities do they currently participate?

• What activities do they enjoy most?

• What are their priorities?

• When and how often do they play tennis?

• How do they view current offerings?

Key Take-Aways • Little more than half of the respondents participate in USTA or City League.

With so many uncertainties it is hard to predict where we will be in a couple weeks yet alone months, but look for new community building offerings as the new year approaches. And remember, the MAC Tennis staff is here to help ease concerns and fears. Feel free to stop by the Tennis Office or reach out via email at tennis@themac.com.

• Equal amounts of City League and USTA players responded.

• More than 300 people who responded play tennis at MAC more than once a week.

• Lessons are the most popular offering for Juniors.

• Most people who participate in the Junior programs are satisfied.

• Weekly demand (from highest to lowest):

Coaches Corner: Let’s Talk Return of Serve The two most important shots in tennis are the serve and the return of serve. Unfortunately, they are also the two least-practiced shots. While some players will work on their serve in solitude with a bucket of balls, most players don’t work on improving their return of serve.

The return is the second shot hit in every point, so there’s no denying that players will benefit from time spent developing the shot. Think about Andre Agassi (in my opinion, the greatest returner the game has ever seen) or Novak Djokovic, and how they neutralize a big serve with a strong, solid return. There are many aspects of the return of serve on which a player can focus: Split step The first thing a player needs to do before hitting a return of serve is learn to time the split step. The landing should be such that the toes and balls of the feet are all that touch the ground the moment before the opponent contacts the ball. Being all the way down in a split on contact of the serve is the goal for each returner. From here, an explosive first step can start the movement.

Backswing The serve is often an opponent’s biggest shot. The faster the ball is coming, the more important it is to create more time. By shortening up the backswing, the amount of time to get the racquet head through the strike zone is shorter as the racquet has a shorter distance to travel. To accomplish this think, of blocking the serve with limited racquet work going back coupled with a long follow through.

Targets Aim big. The bigger the serve coming, the bigger the target needed. If the serve is tough to control, players should aim to return to the middle of the court with a large margin of error. It is better if the opponent has to hit a winner rather than just a serve to win the point.

Positioning There is nothing in the rules of tennis that states where the returner must stand. There is only a rule stating a returner cannot be “an intentional distraction” to the server. So, for example, if receiving a 130-mph serve, it might be a good idea to stand a few steps behind the baseline to create more distance and increase the amount of reaction time available to strike the return.

Another example would be to move to the left on the ad side to counter a lefty with a good slice serve to a right-handed player’s backhand.

Second Serves Not many tennis players have a second serve as strong as their first. Knowing that the two serves will not be the same, the returner should move up to take advantage of a typically weaker, more conservative second serve. The goal is to get the ball back quickly by stealing time with a well-placed return. It is not necessary to hit a winner every time.

Doubles Returners struggling to control a good serve may want to think about pulling their partner back to the baseline and play two back to begin the point. This can take pressure off the returner, as a poorly hit return no longer leave their partner in harm’s way. Sometimes, the server’s partner may struggle with the easier volley as the traditional “target” is now in a different position causing a different train of thought.

Versus a Baseliner Try to return hard if possible, but deep in the court. This will make it harder on the server to take advantage of the serve. It is more difficult to hit a winner the deeper a player is in the court Versus a Serve and Volleyer Pace is not as important as the height of a return when playing a serve and volleyer. If the ball is low, the server is forced to volley upwards allowing a better opportunity for the returner off the next ball. Remember, points against a serve and volleyer are typically going to be shorter, so the first couple of balls struck are extremely important to set up the point.

A small improvement in any one of these areas will result in more returns in play and tougher balls for the server to begin the point. Remember, nothing gets better by hoping it will. Time spent on the court equals better play in matches. It’s a winning formula for everyone.

Sensei Bill Plapinger Karate relaunched in May, headed up by sensei Junki Yoshida, whose legacy shapes the program to this day.

Yoshida sensei came to the MAC with a reputation as the top heavyweight “open” tournament fighter in the region, winning his division multiple times at both the Northwest Championships and the Western States Championships. He brought his discipline, technical mastery of karate, and charismatic personality to MAC, and interest in the program remained high under his instruction.

Yoshida’s primary goal was to develop traditional karate locally and to bring fame and recognition to the Pacific Northwest. This started an era for MAC Karate that saw a number of students competing in tournaments, and MAC hosted its first tournament in 1980. MAC Karate program produced its first black belts under Yoshida — Brad Marineau and Chris Davis, in 1984.

Sensei Junki Yoshida

MAC’s Storied Karate History Modern karate developed in various forms across China in the 19th century as East Asia’s answer to achieving and maintaining optimal fitness. Karate and similar practices first started turning up in the United States after World War II, with popularity for martial arts growing significantly in the 1960s. In fact, MAC’s own Karate program started in 1967, with its first sensei/instructor Robert “Bob” Graves, a black belt who studied under internationally-acclaimed Japanese master Hidetaka Nishiyama. Nishiyama was one of the original students of Gichin Funakoshi, who had been invited to Japan to demonstrate karate in the early to mid-1900s. Funakoshi sensei, a school teacher and a great ambassador for karate, is known as the “father of modern karate.”

In its earliest days, MAC Karate trained in the old weight room.

In December 1968, Nishiyama sensei taught a special class at MAC for about 35 students. MAC’s Karate program became increasingly popular in the 1970s, thanks in part to the club’s participation in public events and exhibitions to promote the sport. After a brief hiatus in early 1975, while a new instructor was identified, MAC

NOVEMBER 2020

In the early 1990s, sensei Dennis Wanless, a former MAC athletic member and longtime student of Yoshida’s, took over as head instructor. While Yoshida sensei was no longer teaching at MAC, the club’s Karate program remained a part of his growing Northwest Ryobu-Kai organization — a branch of the international Ryobu-Kai school in Japan, with schools in Oregon, Washington and Montana.

After more than 10 years teaching at MAC, Wanless was promoted to Ryobu-Kai’s head instructor for Oregon, and primary teaching was taken over by sensei Bill Plapinger, who earned his fourth degree black belt under Wanless, and had been a student of Bob Graves, and tested for his first black belt under Nishiyama sensei.

MAC’s tradition of karate instruction goes back to the early days of organized martial arts in the United States and has maintained an extremely high caliber of instruction and dedication from students.

Indeed, the longevity of MAC’s Karate program is noteworthy within the world of martial arts, where many schools only last as long as their original instructor continues teaching.

For those interested in trying out martial arts or resuming previous training, MAC Karate continues to offer a range of classes online. Seven-week beginner classes start Nov. 3 and Jan. 5. Register and learn more about the program at themac.com.

What’s Happening, Handball Players?

From the coronavirus to fires, this year has been challenging for all. For handball players specifically, competitions have been cancelled or postponed and opportunites to practice and play have been extremely limited. But still, they perservere.

Tony Heiting, Bob Evenson, Tom Robertson, Craig Trull, Otto Van Walstijn, Tom Wenrich, Mike Casey, Tom Hussey, Steve Lippman and Jay Maxwell. After games, they socialize with beer, masks and social distancing.

Close to 150 Oregonians are members of the United States Handball Association (USHA), which has been instrumental in providing guidelines for getting back on the courts during this pandemic. Longtime MAC member Dr. Mike Steele served as president of organization for 10 years. He did a superb job promoting the game nationwide and is primarily responsible for making MAC the premier athletic facility in the country for national handball tournaments and pro stops. Steele will be inducted into the USHA Hall of Fame in 2021.

Cycling: Rudy Eissinger has been arranging one or two bike rides a week (up to 25-mile-long routes) MAC riders include Jay Maxwell, Dean Duncan, Bob Evenson, John Van Gorder and Mike Casey.

Due to the pandemic, the following national tournaments have been cancelled and/or postponed: The 2020 3-Wall Nationals, Master Singles and Doubles, and 4-Wall Nationals. The Worlds tournament is still tentatively scheduled for October 2021. At MAC, the Portland Classic, scheduled for October, was cancelled. It is also likely that the Irv Alten Holiday Classic, scheduled for December, will also not happen in 2020. Other MAC handball activities, such as the Turkey Tournament, Super Bowl and intramurals, are on hold.

Nevertheless, MAC Handball players have been staying active and keeping community ties strong in the following ways: Tennis: Thanks to Allen Culver’s organizational skills, handball players have been playing tennis on Mondays and Thursdays at a park in Beaverton. Most would be considered C players on the tennis courts, but have a lot of fun hitting the ball around. Joining Culver have been Sean Carney, Dean Duncan, Rudy Eissinger,

Fishing: Curt Heiting and Bob Evenson have organized multiple angling outings, from a chartered trip to rafting for salmon. Other handball players who’ve joined in include Tony Heiting, Andy Kangas and Arley Kangas.

Golf: MAC Handball players seen on the greens include Conner and Mike Casey, Allen Culver, Dean Duncan, Rudy Eissinger, Ron Emmerson, Steve Grow, Tony Heiting, Steve and Brian Lee, Jay Maxwell, Troy Peterson, Tom Robertson, Frank Romanaggi, Ron Shoquist, Mike Steele, Craig Trull and Daryl Zarosinski.

Handball: Handball Courts 7-10 are open for singles play, by reservation only. Wearing masks is required, as well as social distancing. A number of folks have been taking advantage of this opportunity to get the competitive edge on future opponents: Dave Delaney, Pete Greer, Tony Heiting, David Steinberg, Allen Culver, Jeff Jasperson, Bill Flowers and Ed Grossenbacher. Grossenbacher tried to claim that all the aforementioned folks where his kids living with him. Nice try!

Until all court restrictions are lifted, play safe and be safe.

CRAIG MITCHELLDYER

Tri-Run Keeps Members Moving This year, the Triathlon & Running Committee has been putting on virtual challenges to keep MAC members motivated, starting in May with the virtual MAC Mile. Most recently, members joined the September Tri to Get Active Scavenger Hunt. Ten members participated in the event, which was extended into October due to the wildfire smoke. Challenges including taking active photos, going on hikes, riding up Larch Mountain or seeing how many Portland bridges they could run or bike across. The two most popular events completed were hiking and an indoor bike workout. Join the MAC TriRun Strava group to connect with fellow MAC athletes and sign up for the Tri-Run mailing list: bit.ly/MACTriRun.

From the Archives I

t’s possible that Grant Hiroaki Henjyoji was the first MAC member of East Asian descent. Born in an internment camp for Japanese Americans in Minidoka, Idaho, in 1943, Henjyoji grew up in Portland after his family’s return to the city following the war.

A talented wrestler at Cleveland High School, Henjyoji joined MAC as an athletic member in 1965, and was part of the club’s wrestling team that won the national AAU freestyle title and finished third in Greco-Roman wrestling that year.

70 | The Wınged M |

NOVEMBER 2020

His service in the army took Henjyoji away from Portland and MAC. First Lieutenant Henjyoji was killed in action in Vietnam in 1969 and was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart, among other honors. He was not a member at the time of his death, and no obituary was published in The Winged M, but his remarkable life story, accomplishments and sacrifice for a country that once treated him as an enemy merit recognition and respect. ­­—Luke Sprunger, club archivist
