It took a year to create. All day, everyday a single craftsman tied individual knots. Thousands and thousands of them. Each with the precision that years of weaving experience offers. A rug? Yes, it’s a rug. And much, much more.

uly’s article provided an excellent picture of junior activities, opportunities and what the future looks like at MAC. This month I want to talk about the next level of membership – what has been Jim Cleary done and what is in Vice President formation. In the case of intermediate members, they now have greater flexibility in terms of when they must make a decision to pursue senior membership. Several years ago, the intermediate age limit was increased from 23 to 26, and this year the board added the Legacy Resign and Retain Program. This option gives them until age 35 to apply for membership without being subject to a lottery if they resign before they are elected and pay a nonrefundable R&R fee. This allows legacy members to defer a membership decision until many have had the opportunity to get a career started or finish school. The 20s/30s Committee is a relatively recent innovation at MAC and is a tremendous success. This assembly of talent presents the future of the club. They are full of energy and present new ideas and activities.

Seniors at the club We have seen a dramatic increase in the use of club facilities by members 65 and older in the last two years. This is applicable in respect to all facilities at all hours. This is what MAC is all about. Enjoy yourself, stay fit and welcome the camaraderie. This increased activity resulted in changes to the senior preferred criteria and the creation of an additional preferred category. Senior preferred tier 4 members are those who have been elected members for at least 50 years and are 90 years of age and older. This group enjoys greatly reduced dues. These members are the real backbone of the club and are fantastic role models.

Property use and acquisition Due to the variety of activities and increased usage there is currently a space utilization study under way. This includes all

MAC-owned property. There is only a certain amount of floor space, which is sought by all parties. It is not an easy task to fit all of the equipment and activities in a limited space. Rest assured that all interested groups are represented in the discussion. While space utilization is important, we are aware and anticipating the continued interest in being a member of MAC. Membership is full and we anticipate another lottery . The year 2013 has seen a property acquisition and development commencement, but not so much renovation. Stand by for 2014, when some major projects begin. This includes the renovation of the kitchen and ballroom, continued work on the development of block 7 and review of the master plan for owned properties. This is in addition to the completion of existing ongoing projects.

The Board of Trustees Many members do not understand that the Board of Trustees (BOT) works for the total membership. The entire staff, under the leadership of General Manager Norm Rich, is responsible to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is the regulatory body for MAC. It utilizes the committee system to monitor and make recommendations on their applicable areas of responsibilities. Trustees are elected by the membership and serve for a period of three years. Trustees are involved in all phases of the operation of MAC, usually having decisions and directives carried out by staff. The staff, approximately 300 full-time employees, works harmoniously with the Board of Trustees and committees. We are very blessed to have such a talented and dedicated group of people, with equally dedicated and experienced leadership. While the board is required to review and make many weighty and prudent decisions, many appear to be routine. Seldom is this the case. There is often nearly endless discussion and agony in a selected decision – e.g., the ongoing saga related to the rock wall. Don’t fret, the wall is going to be completed, regardless of roadblocks. As a trustee I consider it a privilege to have served with such a talented and congenial group of board members. WM

e have close friends who have a daughter who has served communities around the world with care and compassion. I met her father, Russ, when I first entered the hospitality industry so many Norm Rich years ago. We were General Manager similar in many ways, with passion for our work and in our efforts to ensure we did our best at everything. Our teacher was a classically trained hotelier who learned from the best. Understanding our customer mattered greatly, and overachieving by satisfying our customer mattered even more. Russ later fell in love and married Wendy. Wendy was a seasoned sales manager who could sell anything she wanted because of her careful follow-through and great customer service. They had two beautiful daughters who grew up in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Sonoma. Hilary, their oldest, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a premed degree. She went on to serve 30 months in Managua, Nicaragua doing research on blood-borne diseases. Today, Hilary spends her time on a fellowship for a mobile health technology company in Mozambique, while applying to medical school and working toward a career in Public Health. Hilary is out to change the world. She is a byproduct of her parents, and has learned from her lifetime of experiences and applied them well into shaping her future. Four years after attending medical school she will take her acquired knowledge and hard work and apply it to her promising future. As parents, we work hard and much of our lifetime is spent on developing and preparing our children for their future. We are hopeful we can provide these types of life experiences for our children and give them opportunities to learn from life’s lessons. Our club membership includes thousands of children, teenagers and young adults who someday might follow the footsteps of our friend Hilary, or take new steps in other directions. Let the club assist you in your child’s education. We have many athletic disciplines, social interactions and educational pursuits

that may be just right for your family. We are always venturing into new opportunities, offering experiences that can be meaningful and inspirational for developing youth. We are all about our members and providing lifetime experiences.

Parking solutions We have been working hard on creating more parking for our membership on Block 7, the block directly south of our member Parking Structure. If successful, we will have 225 additional parking spaces for the exclusive use of the membership; trading parking for land. We are reaching out to club members in the Goose Hollow neighborhood to ask for their support as we begin the public process of obtaining rezoning for the property from RH (residential high-rise) to CX (central commercial). The same project could move forward without rezoning, but without the additional parking dedicated to MAC. In addition to relieving a significant amount of pressure on our existing Parking Structure, it also results in a reduction of vehicles circling the neighborhood looking for parking, competing with our Goose Hollow neighbors for on-street parking. The parking situation will continue to deteriorate as parking meters are installed in Washington Park and the Oregon Zoo, bringing more cars to our neighborhood. More and more events at JELD-WEN Stadium also puts more pressure on neighborhood parking and our garage. MAC is willing to help resolve this ever-increasing parking challenge by partnering with Mill Creek Residential Trust to bring real relief to the neighborhood. We are therefore asking our MAC neighbors to please support this project. If you are a neighbor and in the Goose Hollow Foothill League boundaries, we ask that you officially register with the Goose Hollow Foothill League (GHFL) by signing up with the GHFL: http://goosehollow.org/index. php/get-involved/become-a-member. Once registered with the GHFL, we will notify you significantly ahead of the vote and ask that you attend the GHFL meeting to officially vote to support additional parking for MAC. If you want to send me an e-mail of support please do so at nrich@themac.com. I hope that you join us in supporting this effort. WM

s summer begins to fade and many of us return to schooldriven routines, I have been busy visiting each sport committee, presenting the results of our first Athletic Excellence Survey. We plan on making this an annual survey Ed Stoner Athletic Director so we can adjust as needed and continue to satisfy our membership. Thank you to more than 1,200 members who took the time to tell us how we are doing athletically, and provided valuable feedback on how we can improve. In general, membership told us we are doing pretty well. There were, however, a few programs where the scores were not all positive, but that is to be expected in an organization of our size and breadth, and with our variety of interests and opinions. While no program showed strong dissatisfaction, the presence of some dissatisfaction may be a sign we are growing and changing, or it could also be complacency. That is why we are treating this year primarily as a baseline from which to evaluate our programs going forward, while addressing a few definitively lower scoring areas now. Just like kids in school, part of the educational process is often failure. How you respond to that failure is more important than the initial outcome. As noted in a thought-provoking documentary, Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture, kids who fail do better in life because they are better able to cope and adjust. That documentary also noted a traditional American narrative – much like Nietzsche’s quote, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger” – of trying, failing and picking yourself up again. While I am not accepting failure, I am encouraging it, as it is important to remember some failures are a byproduct of continued exploration and pushing ourselves, and these may happen even with the best of intentions. We want to continually improve our programs, but keep in mind that long-term success is a marathon, not a sprint, and that there are always a few bumps in the road to success and long-term happiness. I look forward to seeing you around the club this month as you adjust your routines, and we adjust our athletic programs to try and better satisfy MAC’s membership. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB Junior member Elli Wiita earned her fourth U.S. National Team appointment in August, when she was named to the 2014 Senior National Team after the trials in Riverside, Calif. Overall, Wiita finished ninth among the 24 competitors at the trials, to secure a spot on the team. The team trains together at the National Training Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, and prepares to represent the U.S. at the World Cup in September 2014. The team then continues training together, with the goal of competing at the World Championships and Pan Am Games in 2015, and qualifying for and compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Wiita lived in Riverside during the summer months, training as a member of the 2013 Junior National Team. She is a junior at Catlin Gabel School. Read more on page 70.

MAC karate Sensei Bill Plapinger was recently awarded his Kata Judge A license, making him qualified to judge multiple disciplines of karate. Plapinger began practicing karate under the Shotokan System in 1972 in New York, and after practicing at a variety of schools across the country, he returned to Oregon in 1990 and studied under Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama. In May of 2000, he began teaching at MAC. Sensei Bill is a special education teacher and works at Tom McCall Upper Elementary School in Forest Grove, and is married with a 19-year-old son.

MAC sous chef and Men’s Bar chef Phil Oswalt recently won the People’s Choice Award and the Champion’s Award at the Great Albacore Tuna BBQ Challenge in Newport in August. Oswalt and Chef Damian Labeaux, working for Team Hana, served up Oregon Albacore Tuna Taco Salad for the winning dish. This is the second consecutive year Oswalt and LaBeaux have received accolades for their seafood cooking. Last year they won the People Choice and judge’s award at the Great Newport Wild Seafood Cook-off for their Grandma Myrtle’s Bouillabaise dish.

Junior member Sean McHugh won the Bob Norquist Oregon Junior Amateur Championship for a second consecutive year in June. After 18 holes, McHugh won a five-hole playoff for the victory. The championship tournament was played at Heron Lakes Golf Club in June. McHugh is in eighth grade at Cathedral School. He and his parents, Robert McHugh III and Lesli Williamson, live in Portland. McHugh also plays basketball, but his first love is golf. Williamson says he started swinging a club as soon as he could walk, and started playing in tournaments when he was six years old.

Junior swimmer Elise Kreutzer broke a 34-year-old MAC record in the 50-meter freestyle, clocking a 28.74 in the leadoff leg of a 200 free relay in a zone meet in Roseville, Calif. in August. The old record of 29.15 was set in 1979 by Karen Fredrickson. Kreutzer also led MAC’s junior girls during the Oregon Championship meet in July. She swam in the finals in five of her size events, finishing second in the 50 free, and third in the 100 and 200 free, and the 200 backstroke. MAC took 38 swimmers to the Oregon Championship meet. Read more about the event on page 68.

Local Growers Help Make the Meal E

ver think about where the food on your plate at MAC comes from? We think about it. Let’s begin with that mushroom you had last week. It was foraged by Lars Norgren at Peak Forest Fruit. He brings us the freshest, seasonal mushrooms from around Oregon. Norgren not only provides MAC with mushrooms, he provides fresh stone fruit, cherries and summer beans. Deanna Bascom How about the fresh berries you had on Sous Chef your salad over the summer? Those came from K-Berry Farm in Mount Angel. We had berries delivered twice per week, fresh from the fields, starting with strawberries, then moving on to raspberries (gold and red), then 21 different varieties of blackberries and blueberries, ending with lateseason strawberries. Those berries were supported by the organically grown greens from Walnut Hill Farms in Canby. Tim Gilmer has been growing produce for MAC and provides baby red and green romaine, along with other greens, summer squash and heirloom tomatoes.

goat cheese featured in the berry salad and in other dishes on the Men’s Bar menu throughout the fall and winter. Think about that amazing bread basket you had in the club, how wonderful the crusty baguette and savory olive ciabatta were. Fleur de Lis Bakery, Greg Mistell’s new bakery in Northeast Portland, provides MAC with his artisan breads, delivered fresh every day. All of the dishes at MAC use sea salt from Jacobsen’s salt company, which harvests sea salt crystals, using traditional methods, from the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Oregon. This salt is the preferred finishing salt for restaurants everywhere, including your very own Men’s Bar at MAC. We also feature the best seafood the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We bring in whole fish, just off the boat, and filet them on-site to provide the freshest salmon, halibut, sturgeon, albacore tuna and sardines. Chefs at MAC believe in the farm-to-table movement, believe in providing members with only the freshest, seasonal ingredients. The farmers, bakers and foragers we use are people we have developed relationships with over the years, and are people who bring us the quality ingredients that we in turn bring to your plate. WM

ADMINISTRATIVE Senior Family Preferred member Theodore E. Reich, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars, died Tuesday, July 16. He was 84. Ted was born on June 29, 1929, in Cleveland and moved to Portland in 1947 to attend Reed College. While at Reed, he met Gloria Erickson and they were married in the Reed Chapel on June 6, 1952. Ted played sports in high school and when he came to the Northwest, he began mountain climbing and skiing. He climbed Mt. Hood seven times in addition to several other Cascade summits. One of his favorite ascents was his climb of the Matterhorn in Switzerland on his 21st birthday. A longtime member of the Portland Yacht Club, Ted spent many happy hours sailing and racing his sloop on the Columbia River, with Gloria as first mate. In 1973, Ted proudly raced with several of his yacht club friends in “Nimble” on the Transpac race from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Along with yachting, Ted’s primary interest over the years has been in the preservation and history of classic cars. He has restored and driven many of them and won many trophies in local and national meets. He was president

of the Historical Automobile Club of Oregon in the 1960s and president of the Rolls-Royce Owner’s Club in the early 1980s. He founded the Pacific NW region of the RROC in 1960. He, Gloria and son David took one of the cars to Italy in 2007 and completed the Mille Miglia Storico 1,000-mile rally. After a long and successful career as a stockbroker in Merrill Lynch’s Portland branch, he retired to devote even more time to his family and hobbies. Ted worked at Merrill Lynch for more than a quarter century, retiring in 1994. After his retirement, he enjoyed volunteering for Meals on Wheels and OPB Golden Hours. Ted was a trustee of Reed College since 1982 and received a lifetime honor from the Reed Alumni Association in June 2013. Ted loved his association with Reed College, both as a student and alum, and sang in the Boar’s Head from 1947 to 2012. The first son of Dr. Rudolf and Helen Reich, of Cleveland, Ted leaves behind his beloved wife of 61 years, Gloria Erickson; his adored children, Evelyn and David; daughterin-law, Kayla Reich; brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Olivia Reichl; and grandchildren, Carolyn, Christopher and Claire Packer and Lila Reich. Ted will be remembered by his

family and loyal circle of friends as a man who surrounded himself with the people and things he loved: antique British motor cars, boats, art, travel, good food, his cats and those who loved to share them with him. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in memory of Theodore Reich to Reed College. Senior Family Preferred member David Anthony Service died June 29. He was 75. Tony was born in High River, Alberta, Canada, on Feb. 4, 1938. He was an avid runner who practiced dentistry in Portland for over 40 years.

MAC Scores a Safety Goal on Stadium Terrace The MAC Facilities Department recently took advantage of a two-week gap in the Timbers schedule to make the popular Stadium Terrace viewing area a safer place

for members and guests. Improvements on the Stadium Terrace helped to address several fall-protection and safety issues with new stairs and rails. The most noticeable improvement is the new front rail. Height requirements mandated a new design for the guardrail facing the stadium. The new rail includes an anodized aluminum frame with clear tempered glass

inserts. This provides unobstructed views, even from the front row, helping MAC score a goal for safety. The Stadium Terrace project was part of a larger effort to improve safety through a 2013 capital project, Campus Fall Protection. The project includes 62 permanent fall-protection solutions such as fall arrest anchor systems, life lines, railings and barricades around the club.

Kickstart Healthy Habits

with MAC Fit The 12-week program, designed to help members learn healthy long-term habits, kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 25. By Megan McMorris

30 | The W覺nged M |

September 2013

“The eye-opener for me was nutrition – I realized I don’t think I was eating any protein, and now I’m eating protein and my energy level has improved – I feel like I could wash all the windows on the Empire State Building now!” — Marcia Apperson

AC exercise physiologist Glenn Johnson was fed up. After 14 years of seeing people struggle to keep their weight off, he decided there must be a better way. “I wanted to create a program that steered people away from the weight-loss mentality, and instead offered a more holistic approach to weight management where people are making lasting behavioral changes,” he says. Teaming up with personal trainer Molly Sparkman, together they created MAC Fit, a 12-week program designed to cover all facets of behavioral lifestyle changes, in a supportive and collaborative environment. As the program kicks off its fifth year on Wednesday, Sept. 25, we spoke with past participants about why the program works – and what it can do for you.

Break out of your rut It’s so easy to do. You come in to the club and head straight for your favorite piece of equipment. Sound familiar? MAC Fit can help you break out of fitness ruts by introducing you to the weight room, signing you up with a personal training session, and encouraging you to expand your club horizons. “I used to head straight for the elliptical every time I’d come into the gym, but I realized I wasn’t getting the results by doing the same thing over and over,” says Robert Jester, 62. MAC Fit helped him get over the weight-room intimidation factor, and showed him how to design a more dynamic program for himself, including running, stairs, medicine ball work, and balance and core strength. “I used to look at all this state-of-the art equipment and pass them by because I didn’t know how to use them, so that was huge to have someone show me the ropes, now I don’t think there’s a piece of equipment I haven’t tried!”

Pinpoint your food weaknesses Exercise is just half the battle, and the program equally addresses nutrition too. Keeping a detailed food log helps participants see what they’re really eating, and how much. “One of the most useful parts of the program to me was food journaling, because it gave me insight into how unbalanced I really was, and if you don’t write it down, you don’t know what you’re really eating,” says Eneida Nemecek, 41. For Gery Schirado, 68, food-journaling was eye-opening. “One of the good things/bad things is that I like almonds, which are good for you, but when keeping my food log I realized there was nothing moderate about my consumption of almonds, so I’ve learned to get into the habit of consuming them correctly,” he says. “Also, my breakfast has changed; for one thing, I’m actually eating it now!” Continued on page 32

“You’re never too old for this. I’m 78, and I want to encourage other older people that what they are now isn’t necessarily where they will always be.”

Even if you keep a food journal, the high-paced demands of work can lead to meals on the go. But a quick snack doesn’t necessarily have to be unhealthy. That’s the concept MAC’s Food and Beverage Department used when they developed Joe’s on the basement level. The restaurant includes a bevy of healthy choices, with salads, hand-made sushi, gluten-free items and more. “One of (sous chef) Deanna Bascom’s goals when we opened Joe’s was to not only provide quick service, but to provide food that’s relevant to the business we run, and this is a fitness club,” says MAC sous chef Justin Wiese, who manages Joe’s. “It has come a long way, and now there are a lot of things that people take for granted, like the availability of good quality food like quinoa salad.” In addition, Joe’s makes available nutritional information for many of the items on its menu, and Weise is working on including even more. The restaurant keeps a binder on hand with the information.

“MAC Fit has changed my way of thinking. It’s interesting to see my notes from the first week and how much they had changed by the time the 12 weeks was up.” — Jack Phillips

Learn healthy strategies outside the gym Whether traveling for business, eating out at restaurants, or vacationing, many temptations outside of the gym can quickly undo your progress. MAC Fit helps members adopt tips that help them stay on track. “One of the most useful tips for me is the 90/10 rule, that you don’t have to be strict all the time, and you just have to forgive yourself when you slip, and then bounce back quickly,” says Dara Wasserman, 49. Jester found the tips particularly helpful for his schedule. “I stay in the same business hotel every four to six weeks, and it’s easy to say that you don’t have control when you’re traveling,” he says. “MAC Fit helped reinforce some tips that I knew intuitively but didn’t necessarily practice. Now, I’m eating healthier at the buffet and am in the hotel gym doing all the floor work I learned in the program, and I love it!”

Get moral support With 12 weekly group sessions, participants have a chance to encourage each other and share strategies, which also attributes to the program’s success. “Everyone is really encouraging each other, because we’re all in the same boat, and that accountability makes it easier to stay on track and report back,” says Wasserman. The encouragement doesn’t end when the program is over. “We now connection, and when you run into other participants in the club hallways, we keep encouraging each other. It’s important to have that ongoing support,” she says.

Create lasting results When Johnson and Sparkman created the program, he designed it with long-term success in mind. “With other programs, people graduate and are on their own, but we encourage members to continue to check in with us,” he says. Whether it’s weekly weigh-ins, follow-up consultations, or just friendly encouragement at the club – or an alumni program called MAC Fit Maintenance – the support continues long after the 12 weeks is up. “I think it’s great that even after you’re done with the program, Molly and Glenn are still available,” says Olivia Froebe, 78. ”Anytime Glenn sees me at the gym, he comes up to me, and he’s so encouraging.” As for Johnson, he couldn’t be happier. Five years after starting the program, he enjoys seeing people transcend to a healthy lifestyle and finally keep off the weight. “It makes me glow to hear that the program has changed people’s lives,” says Johnson. “Whether they tell me that now they can now walk up a hill to a great view while on vacation, or they can fit back into clothes they haven’t worn since college, it’s exactly why I wanted to start the program.”

The next MAC Fit program begins Wednesday, Sept. 25.

HOW IT WORKS Each MAC Fit program starts with an in-depth fitness assessment, goal setting, and personal training session, then group meets weekly to discuss themes including: • Goal setting • Food journaling • Macronutrients • The six components of fitness • Eating while traveling • Portion control • Mindful eating • Healthy restaurant choices • Fueling for your workouts • At-home exercises

To sign up or for more information, go to the MAC calendar online, or email hpl@themac.com. The 12-week program costs $548 per person.

About 25 MAC members, along with other volunteers from the program, pressure washed, caulked and painted the home, and trimmed bushes, weeded and cleaned. One neighbor was so delighted with the improvements that she called KGW to cover the uplifting story, and the interview was aired that evening. Once the painting was completed, to the delight of the homeowner, an awning was installed over the entryway so expectant visitors do not have to stand out in the rain. The house was transformed from a tired home to a proud, colorful Victorian. The homeowner is absolutely thrilled, stating, Continued on page 48

but it could involve I Love Paris, or perhaps I’ve Got You (Under My Skin), or any of Porter’s 200 songs. Wine, light snacks, and an hour of chat are enjoyed before the chairs get rearranged and the music begins. All interested senior members are invited to peek in, join in, or even waltz in if needed. Fortunately, the MelloMacs “kickoff” actually involves no kicking whatsoever, but it does demonstrate that eagerness to sing outstrips the immediate need for sportive agility of any kind. Although some vocal agility is a plus, it is not considered mandatory, but is deeply appreciated by those around. The MelloMacs are kind-hearted toward each other, loyal, caring and genuine. That character comes out through their music, and reaches into and gladdens the hearts of many, many listeners. For any members who would like to sing to adulatory audiences; to be directed by the maestro Gus Pappelis; to be accompanied by recording artist Kit Taylor; and to be surrounded by supportive singers who sing with mouths and hearts open, this is the place to be!

ATHLETICS

MAC’s second Saturday rides continue through October, and Wednesday night rides run through the fall season as well.

There’s Still Plenty of Time to Ride T

he kids are back in school and your favorite fall TV shows are back, but it doesn’t mean you should mothball your bike until next spring. Au contraire, the MAC cycling program continues to run through the month of September and into October. The midweek rides and Second Saturday rides are still running, so you can train for cyclocross or enjoy a ride with friends until the rain starts in earnest.

Upcoming rides The September Second Saturday Ride meets in Hillsboro, near the Hillsboro Aquatic Center, and includes a tour around the area and up Chelan Mountain and Scholls. In the past, the weather has

52 | The Wınged M |

September 2013

been beautiful for this route: typically sunny, but not overly hot. The route offers a variety of terrain, both flats and hills, and most of the course has either a nice shoulder or bike lane. As with all Second Saturday Rides, please show up between 8:45-9 a.m. to sign waivers, meet fellow riders and chat with coaches – rollout is at 9:15 a.m. As with all Second Saturday rides, you are riding at your own pace, maps are provided, and there is minimal support. Coaches and attending committee members try to keep track of all riders, and we encourage a buddy sytem. Wednesday Night Rides continue to have good participation, and are back after briefly moving to Tuesdays. Hill rides are on the first and third Wednesday of each week (meeting at the intersection

of Germantown Road and Skyline Boulevard) and the Sauvie Island ride meets the second Wednesday of the month. There is still discussion about having a destination ride on the fourth Wednesday, so stay tuned for further details.

Cycling reminders A few comfort and safety reminders; the days are getting shorter. If you are out for an afternoon ride, make sure you have adequate lighting with you. Use a headlight. Multiple blinking tail lights are also highly recommended. Wearing a reflective vest or having reflective clothes also help visibility. When sharing the road with cars, always keep to the right. Assume cars do not see you and be aware of sudden turns. It is true that a bicycle is considered a vehicle and has the right to an entire lane of traffic, however, this is not always the most courteous means of sharing the road. Please be considerate of motorists, pedestrians, and fellow cyclists. Use had signals. Stop at stop signs and stop signals. Use a courtesy wave to acknowledge people. As the evening sets in, September nights are notorious for being cool. Remember to bring leg and arm warmers to keep exposed skin warm in cool weather. If you have sunglasses with changeable lenses, be sure you have your lightly tinted lenses with you.

Cyclocross season September also brings the start of the Cyclocross season. For those of you who have never heard of Cyclocross, a great event to check out is Wednesday nights at Alpenrose Dairy, when cyclists

enjoy the annual Blind Date at the Dairy race series. Cyclocross is great fun not only to participate in, but also to watch. The National Championship also takes place in September in Bend. Several MAC members are racing. Stay tuned for race results! Members interested in more information concerning the MAC cycling program, or who want to get out and ride more regularly can use these resources: theMAC.com, MACCycling@ yahoogroups.com, BTAOregon.org and ORbike.com. Remember to always wear a helmet, keep to the right, pedal safely and have fun. The Cycling Committe hopes to see you out on the road!

Long, cold winter As the October skies start to liquefy, the Cycling Committee puts on clinics and taking an active role helping cyclists and soonto-be cyclists get ready for the next season. Watch the bulletin board in the basement as well as articles in the Winged M for dates and times. Also, now that the Spin Studio is fully operational, spinning offers a great alternative to getting out on the road. Although the Integrative Fitness department oversees scheduling and staffing, we continually get feedback from athletes who take advantage of spinning as a form of off-season training about different classes and instructors. In fact, now that we have a dedicated studio, we anticipate the spinning program growing If there are potential instructors youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to recommend, direct your input to the Athletic Office.

Boys to Compete with Top Junior Teams in the Region The MAC Junior Basketball Program is ready for the 2013-14 season and striving to compete with the top junior teams in the region. The goal of the program is to provide members with competitive experiences that consistently challenge the players to train, practice, prepare and compete at all levels. Last year the program had a total of nine boys teams and competed strongly against opponents in leagues and tournaments throughout Oregon. This season the MAC Junior Basketball Program plans to field two boys teams per grade level from third through seventh grades, and one eighth grade team.

The boys basketball program looks to compete with the region’s best.

Clinics Preseason skills clinics prepare players for an exciting season of youth basketball. Players are divided into groups and rotated through stations that focus on specific skills. Clinics are instructed by member coaches, athletic members and junior sports staff. See the Fall 2013 Class Guide for a full list of clinic times. Continued on page 56

Evaluations

Competitive Teams MAC’s competitive teams are for the more serious, experienced players who strive toward competing at the highest levels. MAC fields one competitive black team per grade. All practices and games are mandatory, and players must make MAC basketball their priority when scheduling other activities. There is no expectation or guarantee of equal playing time. The goal of our competitive teams is to be among the top youth basketball programs in the area and provide athletes with opportunities to compete at the highest level within their age group.

Developmental Teams The developmental teams focus on developing a player’s skill and knowledge of basketball so they are successful and advance to the next level of play. The red team is made up of the next eight to 10 players not selected on the competitive black team in each age group third through seventh grade. There is an effort to provide balanced playing time with a strategy to win games. The coach develops

56 | The Wınged M |

individual player and team basketball skills through practices and competition. Every player who attends the evaluations has an opportunity, but no guarantee, to make a MAC team. The athlete must attend two of the three available evaluations (in their entirety) to qualify to play on a MAC team. However, players are encouraged to attend all three tryout sessions. MAC member coaches and junior sports staff run evaluations. Tryouts are closed and only athletes, coaches, and MAC staff areallowed in the gyms. Players show their skills in many different drills and playin an organized scrimmage. Players wanting to compete in an upper grade level need junior basketball subcommittee clearance to tryout and must be selected as one of the top five players in tryouts in the grade selected. To qualify, a player must attend their grade level evaluation first. and then attend the desired level of play on the second day. If an athlete is unable to attend tryouts due to an injury (this must be reported and excused by the junior sub-committee prior to tryouts) a roster spot is left available.

September 2013

However, he is still required to attend his age group evaluations. Coaches/junior sports staff then assess these players once they have healed. These players must be evaluated no later than Sunday, Dec. 8, and the final roster is set at this time. Evaluation results and team assignments are posted on the MAC Junior Basketball webpage Friday, October 11, at 3 p.m. Each player is billed $350 that is used for the end of the year banquet, coaches’ gear, team ball bags, initial leagues and tournament costs. Additional charges include uniform costs, and may include additional tournament fees for more active teams. If after player evaluations you decide the MAC program is not right for your child, you must cancel by notifying Van Dekoning via email at vdekoning@themac.com by 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13. Any cancellations after this date will have a negative impact on the team and the program, and you will not get your $350 reversed.

MAC Company Dancers Fly High at Nationals

he 2012-13 season for the 16 MAC Company dancers culminated with a fun and challenging week at the Company Dance National Competition in Hollywood, Calif. in late June. The MAC Company dancers are Lizzie Allcock, Lizzy Allen, Cassie Cook, Anna Dickson, Sarah Gish, Piper Kizziar, Sylvie Martin, Sydney Mesher, Natalie Press, Natalie Shershow, Jana Sillay, Courtney Sprouse, Eric Stucky, Ava Vossoughi, Lauryn Wilk and Sarah Wong. The dancers attended workshop classes with some of the top instructors in the country. Renowned choreographer Tyce Diorio’s workshops included portions of his choreography from the So You Think You Can Dance show being filmed that week in Hollywood. Diorio invited MAC Dance Supervisor Laura Haney to spend one day with him in the television studio while he was rehearsing the top 20 dancers for the show’s televised opening number. Haney was honored to attend, and reported it was a memorable experience. The MAC Company dancers performed eight pieces in the evening competition, and of those eight pieces, two were selected from among more than 200 entries to perform as the judge’s favorites in the closing night gala show. The faculty choice selections are a significant accomplishment for MAC’s relatively small company of 16 dancers; several of the 22 companies in attendance had much larger groups of dancers with many more competition entries. The company continued to raise several scores to the highest platinum award level. Distant Journey, a contemporary piece featuring eight dancers, and Rockin’ in Rhythm, the small group tap dance featuring five dancers, also received a platinum award.

September 2013

Sydney Mesher’s solo, Stubborn Love, was the platinum third place teen solo and and Anna Dickson’s solo, The Possibility, was the platinum fourth place teen solo of 22 teen solos. The company’s pointe ballet piece, Moonlight Waltz, and the teen ballet piece, Butterflies, both received High Gold awards, which are the Company’s highest ballet scores to date. The jazz dance Box of Secrets received high gold award, and Everybody received a gold award. The large group tap piece, Harajuku received a high gold award. The company’s graduating senior dancer, Natalie Press, who is enrolling at the Boston Conservatory in the fall, performed her senior pointe ballet solo and received a gold award. Dickson and Mesher were selected to rehearse and perform in the group opening number for the final night’s gala performance. The dancers and their parents took advantage of moments of free time to enjoy the Hollywood experience. The dancers and parents enjoyed a group dinner at the historic Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, and parents also dined as a group at Fred Segal’s and the House of Blues. The MAC Company Dancers continue to take MAC dance classes and train throughout the summer. Several dancers are also attending summer dance intensives throughout the country. – Kathy Dodds WM

The Golf Club Championships return to The Reserve in September.

Golf

Club Championships on the Horizon Yes, there’s a meaningful golf event left to put on the fall calendar – the Club Championships at The Reserve Vineyards. This event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 21 and Sunday, Sept. 22 – though the Sunday event is for the open-division males only. The Golf Committee decided there would be better turnout if the main tournament was only for one day, and this year it’s Saturday , when division include open, mid-am, senior, and super senior players for the men, and open plus senior players for the women. The emphasis is on net scores for all but the open golfers. Depending upon the entries for each division, the tournament committee decides on the number of gross and net winners. Unfortunately, this is the only golf event that requires golfers to have a golf index… unless of course you’d like to play only for gross prizes in your respective division. No guests are invited, as this is a MAC member golf event only. The entry fee for the one day play – men and women, is $90, and the open division is

Athletics $150. As in years past, your entry fee does include dinner at our 19th Tee Awards dinner on Thursday, Sept. 26. If you have a guest who would like to join you for dinner, or if you do not play in the golf event but would like to participate in the 19th tee event , your dinner cost is $35. The Golf Committee would like to thank everyone for this year’s support and participation. Plans for next golf season, after a trip to Brasada Ranch in the fall and a trip to Bandon Dunes in December, are well underway, and any input is welcome. As always, anyone interested in joining the Golf Committee may contact Outdoor Manager Chad Failla at 503-517-7574.

Rebound Lecture Focuses on Back Pain The Integrative Fitness Department is excited to welcome back Rebound Orthopedic and Neurosurgery for a series of lectures this fall. Rebound is one of the premier orthopedic and neurosurgery clinics in the Pacific Northwest and they are team physicians for the Portland Trail Blazers, the Portland Winterhawks and several collegiate teams. The first lecture in the series takes place on Tuesday, Sept, 19 at 6 p.m. titled Back Pain in the Aging Athlete. Back pain is among the most common causes of loss of playing time in all athletes and, as we age, minor aches may become more problematic. It is often difficult to know the source of back pain, and this talk takes a holistic approach to this problem. We review ways to prevent back pain, including stretching and strengthening, and ideas to help manage and eliminate pain. The ares MAC welcomes Dr. Fred Dr. Fred Bag Bagares, who is a boardcertified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rebound Orthopedics and Neurosurgery.

Back Pain

Every summer, students from MAC attend a karate training retreat in Troutdale for three days with fellow students from around the Northwest. More than 100 students – from age 10 to adults – join together to train, to test up in rank, and to strengthen the bonds of friendship between dojos (schools). Summer camp, or Gasshuku in Japanese, is where students have the opportunity to not only build their skills and develop their technique, but also to form comeraderie with fellow students from other dojos and learn from senseis (teachers) from other schools. Karate does not solely focus on the physical and mental training of the individual. Just as when training and practicing for any team sport, students and teammates form bonds and friendships with those with whom they share victories and defeats. It is no different with karate; students sweat together, learn from each other, and bond together, and summer training provides the opportunity to extend friendships from the MAC dojo to our sister schools in Oregon, Washington, and Montana. Karate-do, or “the karate way,” is a specific practice in training the body and mind; however, it is important to remember that students cannot and do not do this alone. Fellow students, teammates, and teachers all ultimately make up a community, an extended family, and summer camp brings everyone together every year to share this experience together. Some of the most memorable moments from summer camp have been from the family-like atmosphere shared amongst the students and senseis. With maybe 30 or 40 tents built up side by side among the trees and a picnic area where students share meals between training sessions, it is easy to get to know new people and strengthen the feeling of community. Wendy Kuttner attended summer camp for the first time last year and said the best part of the experience was the generosity and Continued on page 64

Athletics Summer Karate Continued from page 62 friendship shared and the inspiring training sessions and lectures from the black belts. It is always an amazing experience for new comers and for those who have attended camps in the past. Paige Crawford, one of our junior members, also attended camp last year said “the bonfire and making s’mores was my favorite part” and “being able to train outside with everyone.” Combining the beautiful outdoor setting on the river and an intense weekend of training makes for an incredible experience that none are soon to forget.

MerryMacs

Out of the Pool and onto the Willamette Taking time out from water volleyball, the MerryMacs and the Polar Bears decided to celebrate summer with a cruise on the Willamette River. On Sunday, Aug. 18, they boarded the Portland Spirit for a trip from Salmon Springs to Willamette Falls at Oregon City. After a delicious champagne buffet brunch, members and guests spent time on deck viewing Oregon scenery and enjoying a day of sunshine, fun, and camaraderie.

Personal Training

Changes to Personal Training Starting on Sept. 1, members are no longer required to complete a fitness assessment with the Human Performance Lab prior to personal training. Members are still required to complete a health history form. Once completed and reviewed by the personal training coordinator, members may schedule their first personal training session. A doctor’s consent may be required prior to personal training. During a member’s first personal training session, a trainer conducts a fitness assessment to evaluate muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular health and body composition. Trainers also have the freedom to modify or provide additional screening tests to the evaluation process based on a member’s current fitness level and goals.

Athletics Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing is Primal Fitness

Rock climbing is one aspect of the growing primal fitness movement.

In the last decade, primal fitness has increased in popularity throughout the fitness industry. Primal fitness is the concept of getting exercise by participating in activities that our primal ancestors would have done on a daily basis. This could include running away from predators or after prey during a hunt, climbing up a tree to forage for fruit, and stacking stones to build a shelter, to name a few. A quick review of the current primal trends may call to mind those who run barefoot or in minimalist shoes, do Crossfit or functional fitness, and those following a Paleo or primitive diet. The goal is to get back to our roots, get off the fitness equipment, and get a little dirty like our cave-dwelling ancestors. Perhaps the best kept secret in primal fitness today is climbing. Anyone who has children realizes the primal instinct to climb. Many children learn how to climb out of their crib before they can even walk on their own. Often people think of rock climbers laden

with climbing gear stepping up to the base of a rock climb, but the truth is all the latest gear is only to keep us safe at height. Once we start climbing we are all on our own, with only our ability to climb with our hands and feet on the rock or climbing wall. With MAC’s new bouldering area on the way, members will be given increased access to practice the primal art of climbing. Bouldering is unique as it focuses on lower heights that don’t require a rope or harness for protection, but rely on a thickly padded floor to protect the climber from falls. Many climbers consider bouldering the most minimal and primitive aspect of the sport. All bouldering requires is some thin-soled climbing shoes and a little chalk to keep your hands dry. Climbing provides a true full body workout and engages your mind and body to achieve the task of getting higher on the wall. While a climber is on the wall she must process her body positions and movements to make upward progress toward the hand holds. This requires pressure and tension through the legs extending all the way to the big toe, while constantly engaging the entire core to keep one’s feet on the wall. As the climbing terrain gets steeper and has more of an overhang, all of these muscles must engage more and more as the climber relies on the combined effort of pulling with their arms and pushing down with their legs, engaging their entire lower body to gain progress on the route. For many who have always wanted to do a pull-up, climbing is one of the best steps toward being capable of doing bodyweight pull-ups without assistance. Climbing also has the added benefit of challenging our problem-solving skills as we examine routes and movements on the ground and test different body positions and movements to unlock the sequence of moves required to climb the route on the climbing wall. In fact, bouldering refers to routes as “boulder problems” further illustrating the challenging nature of figuring out the sequence of moves. The next time you are looking for an excellent workout, consider the primitive sport of climbing and the challenges it affords you in cognitive brain function, strength, flexibility, and choreography. Whether we are trying to escape a crib as a baby, climb a tree to get a coconut for food, or escaping the grizzly claws of a bear, we were born to climb. Thankfully MAC offers this opportunity in a safe environment with highly qualified instructors and no one has to be naked and afraid like our primitive ancestors.

Squash

Juniors Continue to Play in Offseason Summer usually signals the slow time in the squash season, but at MAC squash is always going strong, as junior programs continue to run through the summer, and open play Thursday evenings continue as players come out and test their skills in a social round robin format.

MAC’s junior sqaush players remained busy over the summer months. The end of season signals time for club championships. The adults completed their version earlier in the year, but the juniors were still to be contested. In the U13 division Brennan Roy played a tough five-game semifinal to reach the championship round, but Hayden Burr managed to run through the draw and take the title in a three-game set. In the U15 division, Gordon Lam went undefeated in the five-person round robin, edging out second place finisher Alec Spiro in an exciting five-game match. In the U19 draw, Spencer Burt won his semifinal over Matthew Bernstein in three tough games, while Atticus Jones beat Caleb Spiro in three to meet Spencer in the final. Unfortunately the final was delayed by injury. Stay tuned for results in an upcoming edition. Congrats to all the MAC junior players for a great season. MAC squash is also involved in an exciting new youth outreach endeavor. Bernstein has created a youth program called SWEAT (Squash Weights Education and Training), which partners with Portland Parks & Recreation to offer squash through the city’s summer programs, offering a wide variety of Portland’s youth the opportunity to play Continued on page 68 September 2013

Swim

Young Athletes Star in Oregon Championships In 2009, an 8-year old Van Mathias competed at 10 and under championships in Albany as the only athlete from the MAC swim team. Four years later, Mathias led 37 teammates to form the second largest championship meet at the expanded 12 and under Oregon Swimming Championships in July. Thirty-eight athletes swam in 153 individual races and 12 relays spread across all age groups and genders. Team-wide, MAC qualified 63 athletes, which is the largest competitive group in recent history. There were a few stars in what was a spectacular team effort by MAC. Mathias set team records and moved within a second of both the 50 and 100 butterfly, as the 12-year old dominated both events; swimming a 28.72 in the 50 and a 1:04.16 in the 100. He also placed third in the 50 and 100 backstrokes and 50 breaststroke. Kevin Keil led the team in points as he won the 50 in 34.90, and 100 backstroke in 1:13.95, the 100 breaststroke in 1:25.73 and the 200 individual medley in 2:41.45. The 11 year old also placed second in the 100 free in 1:06.84, and the 50 fly in 34.11. Mathias

Tennis

Thirty-something and Counting Twelve MAC tennis players made the trip and played in sectionals in Sunriver. It was a pretty weird tournament due to weather. MAC’s first match consisted of pro-sets; the second and third matches boiled down to even less than that – 10-point tie breakers – all of this indoors at Bend Athletic Club. The MAC team won its flight, and the finals were actually played outdoors, but were also shortened to pro-sets. All three matches were very close, but MAC’s opponents came out on top and we lost 1-2. “Although we didn’t win, this is the second year in a row that our ‘supersenior’ team has come in second, so not a bad result,” says Captain Harris.

The long rainy season is around the corner, but the time with the best odds for walking and hiking without rain gear is here now. Of course, many enthusiastic residents of the Pacific Northwest relish the rain, and eagerly await its return. Even those who prefer this sunnier time of year admit that much of what we love about the region owes its existence to the abundance of rain and snow. The Pacific Northwest offers something for everyone, and

September 2013

the Walking and Hiking committee endeavors to schedule outings with that same attitude in mind. With snow continuing its meltdown at higher elevations, mountain hikes are scheduled at least once a week through October. Observation Peak in the Trapper Creek Wilderness, the Loowit Trail on Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood hikes through the Dollar Fire area with new views and emerging wildflowers are just a sampling of the outings offered during the week and on weekends. The annual hiking trip to Central Oregon occurs a little later this year in an attempt to avoid wildfire closures. This trip of midweek hikes never seems long enough. The list of truly fantastic hikes in Central Oregon is long enough to entice many members to move there. Too busy to spend a whole day on a trail? Try the Monday night hikes with Member Coach Marty Hansen that leave MAC at 6 p.m. Hike up through Forest Park for a great evening outing for a couple of hours. Prefer urban explorations? Look for the very popular neighborhood walks with Member Coach Laura Foster. Just want to have a quick walking workout to prepare for other outings? Try the Washington Park total-body workouts offered once a month with a special focus for walkers and hikers. The consensus

Athletics of those who have taken advantage of these unique workouts this summer is that outdoor workouts are the best. Missed the full moon walks this summer? No problem. There is one more. On Thursday, Sept. 19, meet at the Athletic Entrance at 6 p.m. for a brisk walk through Northwest neighborhoods to Chapman School to watch the Vaux Swifts as they gather at the chimney for their sunset ritual. Then stick around as the full moon rises. This is a great outing for kids and families. Another outing especially for kids and their families is a hike in Oxbow Park, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 11, when many Portland schools are off. Missed the First Thursday Art Walks? At least two more are scheduled in September and October. Members meet in the Lobby at 4:30 p.m., walk to someplace fun for happy hour, then continue to selected art galleries and interesting urban places during the evening. Looking for a unique local adventure? Spend the night at historic Silcox Hut on Mount Hood at Timberline Lodge on Saturday, Sept. 14. Everybody participating in the Everybody Reads program in September has multiple walking and hiking activities in which to participate and earn passport points for the grand prize of a trip to New York City. All scheduled events are also open to members not participating in the reading program. Rain and snow usually return in earnest in late October and early November, changing the destinations and the gear, but heading outdoors on foot continues. For details about these outings and for information about many more, check out the walking and hiking homepage to find The Journey, the schedule for all things walking and hiking at MAC. See you on the trail! WM

Artist Reception and Lecture with James Lavadour

orthwest artist James Lavadour, chosen to represent the U.S. in the 2013 Venice Biennale, speaks at MAC on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Artist James Lavadour inhabits the landscape of the Northwest through his bold abstract paintings, his images evoking an intense relationship with his native land. Lavadour uses vivid colors, powerful brushstrokes and many layers of paint to move geologic time into the present with passion and authenticity. MAC welcomes Lavadour, recently returned from an exhibition of his work at the Venice Biennale, to a discussion on the evolution of his work on Tuesday, Sept. 17 in 26 Founders. The club recently acquired one of his expressive paintings, Spring 111, for its collection of Northwest art. “Whatever is in the land is in me. The movements and gestures of a loaded brush contain all of the properties of the land, the same flow, hydrology, particle sedimentation as in mountains and rivers,” Lavadour says. “A painting is a structure for the extraordinary and informative events of nature that are otherwise invisible. A painting is a model for infinity.”

Born in Pendleton in 1951, Lavadour is descended from the Walla Walla tribe of the modern day Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. He is an enrolled tribal member and has lived and worked on the reservation for the past 38 years. He is both a dynamic painter and an active community leader, having worked in resource management, education, housing, and alcohol and drug treatment in the tribal government. During all those years he has painted continuously. There are other influences that Lavadour also cites as having contributed to his evolution as an artist: the discovery of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, art magazines and more. Lavadour has described himself this way, “I am a self-taught painter and have no formal art education...my art education was hiking and looking, feeling and hearing the land as I walked and walked.” There is no charge to attend this event, but registration is required. The evening starts with a no-host bar at 5:30 p.m., followed by the talk at 6 p.m. Register at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7265. Quick Register ME596
