resident Darcy Henderson has asked me to write a column this month. I would like to start by welcoming any new members who may have joined the club recently. I am sure you will find the club to be a comfortable and Dwight Terry safe environment for Vice president you and your family. I would like to encourage new members to get involved in our committee system; it is a great way to enhance your awareness of how the club functions. We have an unique system at MAC that is different from any other athletic club of the same caliber. We are run by members.

Engaging younger members Last year, the Board of Trustees formed an ad hoc committee to come up with ideas for engaging tweens in the club. We realized that there are may activities for children up to age 12, and there are activities for those 18 and older. There seems to be a void for those 13 to 16 years old. Some of the recommendations from this group are as follows: designate a social/study space for teenage members that is separate and distinct from adult members, expand/enhance the Junior Weight Room, provide more activities targeted to juniors, and communicate better with juniors through their preferred communication tools. The 2014 teen ad hoc committee has reviewed the recommendations from last year and plans to implement some, if not all of these.

Block 7 update I would like to update you on the progress of Block 7. There were several individuals from the club, neighborhood and SB7 Committee, as well as President Darcy Henderson and myself, who testified on behalf of MAC before a hearing officer in May. There were also members of the Goose Hollow neighborhood who opposed the project at the hearing. The hearing officer heard both sides and reviewed the application for the a change in the zoning of Block 7 from RH to CX. The change is needed so the planned apartment complex can include parking spaces for MAC members. After review and testimony, the hearing officer ruled in favor of the project, and has recommended approval of the zone change to the Portland City Council. The next step is a public hearing sometime in October, when the City Council makes its decision.

Lottery update As I write this article in early August, the Membership Department is still collecting a steady stream of applications for the 2014 MAC Lottery. I would like to remind you that the deadline for entry forms is Friday, Sept. 26. If you did not know, free athletic guest passes are available to bring prospective members to MAC to educate those who may be interested in joining the club. Have them join you in a workout, or play basketball, racquetball, squash, handball or whatever activity piques their interest. Normal guest rules apply but the fee is waived. Contact Member Services at 503-517-7276 to request passes (limited to three per visit). There also is an open house from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 in the Reading Lounge for friends and family interested in learning more about MAC membership, facilities or programs. During this time, child care is available with a reservation. There is no charge for the open house but registration is required. Quick Register ME003 SU14

Bingo I hope all of you had a wonderful summer, especially with the good weather that we have had. Splash was introduced at the Sun Deck Tent and Pool, and I hope you had a chance to enjoy this new venue. School is now back in session, and we have a very special welcome back program for members of all ages. Inserted on page 27, you can find MAC Bingo, which offers members the opportunity to try new activities and events in the club this fall. Completing squares on the bingo sheet is a great way to get involved with new activities at MAC and get stamps for activities in which you already participate. And there are also some great prizes up for grabs. See page 26 for more details.

Transportation options As part of our commitment to improve transportation options for our members, we encourage you to participate in TriMet’s planning process for the Southwest communities. TriMet is planning for upgrades to bus service and street crossings in Southwest Portland, Durham, King City, Lake Oswego, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and West Linn. TriMet is gathering feedback from riders and community groups. From Monday, Sept. 8 through Wednesday, Oct. 15, an online survey is available to the public. We encourage members to take the survey, which is available at http://future.trimet.org/southwest. A link is also available at theMAC. com. WM September 2014

s I walk around the club. I want to reach out to as many members as possible. I often say the best part of my job is talking with you, our members. It just feels good to be able to connect and find out what’s Norm Rich happening in memGeneral Manager bers’ lives. I am trying to reach out more and more to members who do not pay the bills, but will someday have their own accounts and help fund their club. Our junior member population is important to our club; it is our future. Reaching out to the 2, 3 and 4 year olds is just delightful. Juniors have such passion for life, their sports, social activities, friends and everything imaginable. Everyone has an opinion and a say in our club’s future. A major goal of our Board and management is to stay deeply engaged with our younger members and make their membership more meaningful. As younger members spread their wings and their lives, their club becomes less important when they are out of town, out of touch or out of money. Rather than having a gap in between intermediate and senior membership, we are working hard at keeping our MAC family together. We want to be relevant to all members and help them find a way to afford their membership. So what are we doing? Earlier this year we completed an extensive upgrade and expansion of our climbing gym; it’s more like a city than a gym. Not only do we have awesome rock walls, we have bouldering walls and speed climbing specifically meaningful to our juniors and intermediates. We are investing heavily in our 50-meter Pool to have a state of the art pool for our swimming community. We have upgraded Child Care, with kid-friendly bathrooms, and we revamped the junior workout areas, making them bigger and adjacent to other junior sport activities. We have worked hard to build our competitive volleyball and basketball programs; sending two volleyball teams to nationals in June for the first time ever. Our competitive tennis, racquetball, dance, synchro, swimming, gymnastic and climbing teams are some of the best nationally. Family Fridays are recognized by the National Association of Club Athletic Directors as one of the finest programs for

children in the country. We created Splash on the Sun Deck so families can swim, eat and relax together in our Oregon sun. My MAC Playschool celebrated its first graduation in June. Management is proposing an outdoor play structure outside the Junior Lounge that is expandable over the next several years. We have conducted an international search to carry our squash program farther for adults while challenging junior players to excel. Junior dances are sold out for every event; our educational programs continue to flourish with more programs started every year. We are in the early stages of a birthday program in which coordinators handle all details, much as our catering department does for catered events. Dawna Yntema from Child Care heads up this department. Our summer camp programs have offered members the chance to work with some of the most talented coaches in our community: Damian Lillard for basketball, professional and collegiate players for men’s and women’s soccer, and college or professional coaches for football and youth basketball. We are reaching out to others as camp winds down this summer to engage a year-round camp coordinator to stretch our programs farther and make them more instructional and fun.

Keeping members for life One of the Board’s initiatives a couple of years ago was to offer a Resign and Retain Membership Program. At age 26 and until 35, you can resign from the club and pay no dues until you return. You must pre-pay one third of your initiation fee, which is non refundable. This is a way of taking a break from the club without losing your membership opportunity.

Thanks to staff I spend time as well getting to better know our staff. Our employees are amazing and have such interesting stories to share. We have staff that are extremely happy doing what they do, and some studying for the bar or MCATs. Some study hospitality, others become certified trainers; many are just trying to better themselves and their families. Our community of employees is thankful for their jobs and looks forward to getting to know our members better and being even more engaging and always shining. Lastly, let’s not forget all those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. WM

Doing what I love, thanks to OHSU.

I injured my back when I was 27. Off and on, I endured extraordinary pain. Then I discovered the OHSU Spine Center. The difference was in their team approach: They made me feel welcome, listened, provided options and empowered me with the tools to take control of the pain myself. OHSU gave me the chance to take back my life, without surgery or medication. And now, look what I’m able to do: What I love. That’s what life’s all about.

chool is back in session, and this has a special meaning within our MAC Tennis community: “It’s difficult to reserve a tennis court.” Let’s take a quick look back in history to see how we have arrived at this point. Wayne Pickard Thirty years ago, Tennis Manager we decided to jump into adult team tennis with both feet. Never in our wildest dreams could we have predicted how popular team tennis would become. We currently have 11 city league teams that play from September to May. More than 220 women at MAC participate. USTA adult leagues are played throughout the year. We participate in seven different leagues that include mixed doubles and age groups. We had a total of 73 different teams in all leagues. The total number of participants is almost 1,200. Tennis is popular. Tennis is the only traditional participation sport to be ranked in the top 10 in participation growth, out of nearly 120 sports and activities surveyed in the recently released Physical Activity Council (PAC) 2014 Participation Report.

Club Scoreboard Honoring MAC members for placing first, second or third in state, regional, national or international athletic competitions.

Benefits Playing tennis is a great way to meet people, spend time with friends, widen your social circles and build networks. No matter your age or skill level, you can usually find a competitive match, join a league or participate in a group lesson. Playing doubles gives you the opportunity to work on your communication and team skills. Being physically active is important in maintaining your overall health – it reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes, helps you control your weight, strengthens your bones, relieves tension and can even improve your mood.

The Tennis committee is aware of problems and is involved in seeking out solutions. The group was selected as the 2013 Committee of the Year. This was due in part to how involved they are in seeking answers to our court issues. The committee has compiled data about league play, lessons and general court use. We have passed this information on to the Athletic Committee. The bottom line is that we need more tennis courts. Hopefully, help is on the way. WM

Laurie Wall won her age group in the Hagg Lake Sprint Triathlon in July. Wall won the 60-64 age group, but her time was also good for second place in the 55-59 division. Wall was not a total stranger to the triathlon’s different disciplines. She was a lifeguard in high school, competed in Portland’s Cascade Runoff, and cycles in the Gorge. But when she turned 60 this year, she sought a new challenge. Wall took a private lesson with aquatics instructor Sidney McLaren, who teaches MAC’s Adult Stroke Clinic, to help prepare for the race, and entered the Hagg Lake Open Water Swim, winning her age group in the 800-meter distance. Wall also windsurfs in the Gorge.

Sunset High School graduate Taylor Coon was named the Beaverton Leader/Oregonian Westside Female Athlete of the Year, and won the Jerry Pflug Female Athlete of the Year for the Beaverton School District. Coon was captain of Sunset’s soccer team, was selected to the Oregon All State Team three years, and was twice Metro League Player of the Year. She plays her club soccer for THUSC United Sodium, and participated in the Oregon Olympic Development Program. Coon holds several Sunset school track records. She is a seven-time Metro League champion sprinter, and has won two state track championships. Coon is playing soccer at Arizona State University this fall.

Dr. Lindsey Nelson is a Portland native, lifelong MAC member and naturopath who recently joined the club’s wellness team. She graduated with honors in Exercise and Movement Science from the University of Oregon, and received her doctorate in Naturopathic medicine from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2003. Nelson firmly believes in the basic principles of naturopathy, especially treating the whole person, and identifying and treating the cause. She strives to be a truly integrative clinician and believes every patient should be given the tools to make informed decisions on their health. She treats patients of all ages and aims to help them reach their fitness and health goals.

Junior member Gabriella Breda, 8, is one of the youngest MAC members to complete all 10 levels of the swimming instruction program. She started swimming at MAC at age 3, splashing with her father, Michael, holding her up in the pool, and progressing through the challenging program. The program has benefited her in multiple ways, helping her build discipline, focus on tasks, and channel her energy into practicing one particular technique until mastering it. Her goal is to continue her swimming career as part of the MAC swim team under the instruction of the dedicated professional MAC coaches. A true scholar-athlete, Gabriella was advanced two grade levels and starts fifth grade in September. September 2014

Junior member Clayton Allen won the Tualatin Hills Parks & Recreation District Boys 14 Singles Rookie Half-Day Tennis Tournament in July. Clayton is 13 and entering eighth grade at West Sylvan School, where he is an honor roll student. He attended kindergarten in Loreto, Mexico. In addition to being fluent in Spanish, he is conversant in Arabic and plans to study it throughout high school and college. Clayton has been playing tennis since he was 9 and was inspired to play more when he attended the Olympic finals in 2012 where Andy Murray beat Roger Federer in straight sets. Last spring he joined the Leong Tennis Academy and his results show his commitment to tennis.

New Service Center to Replace Concierge Desk In an effort to make it easy for members to get information, services, and reservation and registration assistance, the Board of Trustees has approved the creation of a new Service Center. Opening later this year, the Service Center will be located in the current Concierge Desk area. The Service Center centralizes reservations and registrations for club activities that are presently spread throughout the club, while offering most services currently provided by the concierge. Members will be able to visit or contact the Service Center seven days a week to take care of many items on their to-do list. Construction of the Service Center begins in September. The Concierge Desk will temporarily move to the Main Lobby east of the Front Desk. Most Concierge Desk services will be available at this location and hours remain the same. However, some services are moving or limited during construction, either temporarily or permanently. Lost and Found is permanently relocating to the Basement level. Since most of the items are found in athletic areas, this makes it easier for members to access their belongings in the

new location, especially when they are in athletic attire. E&C Room staff are available from open to close to help members retrieve their belongings. Valuables and small items such as eyeglasses are still be kept in the Manager on Duty’s office.

Dr. Allen Cheng has joined the Head and Neck Surgical Associates Dr. Cheng received both his M.D. and D.D.S. degrees from the University of California, San Francisco where he completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency. Dr. Cheng also completed a twoyear fellowship in head and neck cancer and microvascular reconstructive surgery.

The Service Center centralizes reservations for club activities. Will Call will be limited to envelopes and small packages. Due to lack of storage space, the Concierge Desk will not be able to accept any items larger than a paperback book. Members are encouraged to use the dayuse lockers available in locker rooms and the Junior Lounge. Large items such as strollers, luggage and boxes can no longer be accommodated. Similar limits continue when the Service Center opens. More information will be made available as the project progresses and the details are solidified. For questions or suggestions related to the Service Center contact CFO/AGM Tim Arbogast at tarbogast@themac.com or Member Events Manager Abby DenUyl at adenuyl@themac.com.

In Memoriam Winifred Corbin Jan. 31, 1916 – June 24, 2014 Senior preferred member Winifred Corbin died peacefully June 24, surrounded by her family. She was 98. Winifred was born in Portland to Dr. and Mrs. John Wilfred Caffyn. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Dr. William Corbin; son, Dr. William Corbin Jr.; and grandson, Christopher Brown. She is survived by her daughters, Dee Moore (Tom), Marienne Brown and Patty Johns (Kirk); grandchildren, David Moore (Dawn), Eric Moore (Yoko), Cameron Brown (Lyndel), Cristin Kuehl (Mike), Cheri Lethin (Dan), Sascha Corbin, Conor Corbin, Rhiannon Corbin, Elizabeth Johns (John McDermott) and Katherine Johns (Jack Cantwell); greatgrandchildren, Ellen and Kai Moore, Emma, Sophie and Joe Kuehl, Michael, Morgan and Daniel Lethin and Alexa Jane Cantwell; sister, Phyllis Darrow; daughter-in-law, Kathleen Corbin; former daughter-in-law, Margaret Ann White; and cousins, Doris Morris, Nancy Salmon (Mike) and Kathy Allen (Tim). Winifred and her husband shared many interests over their long lives. They collected Chinese ceramics and fine wines, and gathered rare flowering trees for the extensive garden of their hillside home, to which they were especially devoted. They were bridge enthusiasts and longtime members of MAC, where they played badminton for many years. Winifred was also a founding member of the Portland Art Museum’s Asian Art Council and was a member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Winifred resided at Terwilliger Plaza the last several years, where she enjoyed reading, making new friends, playing bridge, watching tennis and horse racing, reminiscing about her hometown of Astoria (where in the mid1930s, she hosted The Friendly Hour interview program on KAST radio) and, most of all, visits and outings with family (most recently, a trip to the zoo just days before her death.) In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital or the Multnomah Athletic Foundation.

Leo J. Freiermuth Feb. 14, 1929 – July 9, 2014 Senior family preferred member Leo J. Freiermuth, M.D., died July 9, at home with his family caring for him. He was 85. Leo was born Feb. 14, 1929, in St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise, Idaho, to Leo J. Freiermuth of Zeiningen, Switzerland, and Margaret Anne Atkinson of Boise. His beautiful China-blue eyes and warm welcoming smile will always be remembered.

22 | The Wınged M |

Leo’s formative years were spent in Parma, Idaho, where he had many friends. Upon graduation from Parma High School, he went to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, at the ripe young age of 16. He pledged the Phi Delta Theta (Fiji’s) House, where he became the Fiji’s official photographer and treasurer. He graduated with honors in 1950. He was accepted to medical school at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. He married Lavonne V. Brown in 1953. They had two sons, Lee Jeffrey and Ross Scott while in St. Louis. After completing his internship at BarnesJewish Hospital, he was posted to Patrick Air Force Base (now Cape Kennedy). Upon moving to Portland for his residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, their third son, Kirk Noel, was born. In 1961, after completing his residency at the Veterans Center, he joined the Suburban Medical Group. He served on the staff of Providence, Portland Adventist and Woodland Park Hospitals. At Woodland, he was chief of staff from 1971 to 1972. In 1973, he married Kristen ScogginBushor, who had one son, R. Jeffrey Bushor, making a blended family of four sons. Leo took on the task of stepfather seriously. The next 40 years were filled with antique car tours, watch and clock conventions, garage sales, antique shows, steam-ups, traveling, especially to Switzerland to visit relatives, attending sports events, weddings, births and the joys of grandparenthood. He especially liked chauffeuring the grandchildren to and from school after he retired from practice. Leo belonged to numerous medical groups, in which he took an active part. He also belonged to several hobby groups, which included the Horseless Carriage Club of America, where he was president of the Portland Chapter and the National Board, and where he was regional groups chair for nine years; Gateway Booster, where he was treasurer for 12 years; and National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, Chapter 31, where he was outside activities and hospitality chair for the Pacific Northwest Region. He was a member of MAC since 1968 and a 50-year member of the American Radio Relay League. His family and spiritual family of Holy Family Catholic Church meant a great deal to him. Leo is survived by his wife, Kristen; sons, Lee Jeffrey (Rebecca), Ross Scott (Thea Vaughn), Kirk Noel (Cynthia) and R. Jeffrey Bushor (Keri); grandchildren, Stacy, Morgan and Jared Freiermuth, Melissa Park (Ben), Corey Hailey, Maura, Laura, Sabrina, Mitchell and Lea Freiermuth, and Olivia, Sarah and Malia Bushor; and great-grandson, Liam Brown-Bushor. His family thanks Providence Hospital staff, Providence Home Health, Providence Hospice and Visiting Angels for

Brenda Payne McGowan Feb. 9, 1944 – June 13, 2014 Brenda Payne McGowan died June 13, 2014, from ovarian cancer. She was 70. Brenda was diagnosed five and a half years prior and valiantly fought the disease. Her diagnosis did not stop her from enjoying and living her life, which she did with grace and courage. Brenda was delivered to her devoted parents by a local midwife in the tiny town of Brookview, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She was the third of four children. Her mother stated, “she entered the world round, healthy and full of enthusiasm!” The first talking Brenda did was to ask questions, and she never stopped! Brenda always loved music. She once said it transported her to a happy place. A nearby country grocery store allowed her to sing for nickels and dimes. While working in the fields hoeing and picking local crops such as cucumbers, watermelons and tomatoes, she made up her own songs. At age 12, a cousin helped her learn to play a secondhand guitar. One of her joys was to play and sing in a gospel group in local churches. As a child, she looked for opportunities to make money. So in addition to picking crops, she babysat, set village women’s hair, cleaned houses, ran errands and shoveled snow.

Earning and saving money became a strong objective in her life. One important memory concerning books was the Bible and a book of Bible stories given to the children as a Christmas present by their father. A calendar photo at a neighbor’s house intrigued her and she wanted to see the world. When she was 5 years old, she told her mother that she was “going to see a mountain and climb one.” She did! First grade was in a threeroom schoolhouse in Eldorado, Md., where she thrived on learning to read, write, color and draw. In fifth grade, her teacher, Mrs. Marine, allowed her to bring home all the books in the classroom for the summer. She was thrilled! This engendered a lifelong love of education and reading. Growing up in a tiny two-room house with a lean-to kitchen afforded the family little privacy. There was no running water or indoor plumbing. When she was 12, they got electricity and a large Amana refrigerator. The refrigerator became the focal point of the main room. Her parents did not have a phone so Brenda wrote letters to her family. Friends always received a note or thank you card from Brenda after a kindness or shared experience. At age 16, she applied for a job as a waitress in Ocean City, Md. She worked 10- to 12-hour Continued on page 24

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 23 shifts at Joe’s Restaurant on the boardwalk during summers throughout high school and nursing school. This afforded her the opportunity to make money for her senior trip to New York and tuition for school. Especially exciting was purchasing a dress for her senior prom. Mr. Vincent, her high school guidance counselor, helped her find financial assistance for nursing school from a local garden club. He even drove her to the interview. Brenda maintained a lifelong friendship with Mr. Vincent. Going from a tiny town to Delaware Hospital School of Nursing in the city of Wilmington was a big change. Nursing school was difficult with long hours of study, night labs and days on the floor working with patients. The dorm food mainstay of lamb got tiring, but she couldn’t afford to buy a cheese sub as other students often did. A highlight was going to Washington, D.C., for a three-month psych rotation. On weekends, Brenda rode the bus all day for 25 cents. Such wonders – the Smithsonian, art galleries and tourist sites. How extraordinary that she graduated from nursing school as one of 18 students out of the class of 52. Her skill as a nurse allowed her the ability to share her compassion with children and their parents and secure jobs as she moved.

Six months after graduation in 1966, she and her friend, Robin Haight, camped across the country, visiting 22 states and Mexico in a green Volkswagen bug. They landed in Boise with $5 to their name and quickly secured jobs. She later moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, where she learned to ski, hike in the mountains, ride horses, brand cattle and fly fish. She also met local ranchers and went on round ups. The next adventurous move was to the San Francisco Bay Area and a job in pediatrics at Stanford University Hospital. In this vibrant area, she met people from all over the world, which sparked a love of international travel. While on her way to Alaska on a camping trip, she and her friends attended the Pendleton Roundup. They bought tickets on the street and it was here she sat next to William “Bill” McGowan, from Portland. As they say, the rest is history! On Dec. 29, 1971, Brenda and Bill were married at the Old Church in Portland. Spending their honeymoon in Baja instilled in Brenda a love of Loreto, Mexico, and some special friends there. In 1974, they moved to a small farm in Sherwood, where they spent 12 years sharing a “piece of heaven.” They named their piece of paradise “Foxglove Farm.” Brenda continued working as a pediatric nurse at St. Vincent’s and Bill was the general agent for Mutual Benefit Insurance. Their full life included raising animals, gardening,

entertaining, camping, traveling and fly fishing. In 1982, Bill, the love of her life, was diagnosed with colon cancer. He remained active the first two years after his diagnosis and with Brenda’s nursing skills, they were able to travel, camp and spent three months in Loreto the last two winters of his life. Bill died in 1986. Education has been an important passion for Brenda, as she felt it broadened one’s horizon. For 25 years, she has offered scholarships for many young people including friends in Loreto. In the late 1990s, she and her dear friend, Joe Yesenofski, collected funds from family and friends to provide dental services and braces to some of the Loreto children. She and her friend, Cinda Ing, educated a Loreto boy, Valletin, at the University in Guanajuato. Subsequently, Valletin has assisted siblings through college. In 1987, she and two other devoted birders formed a grassroots nonprofit organization, Prescott Bluebird Recovery Project. This project supported the Western Bluebird here in the Willamette Valley. Today, the bird has been moved from the “threatened” to “sensitive” list because of the many devoted volunteers. One of the chief goals in life for Brenda was to be a good friend. Brenda’s joy was to develop and maintain many close and loving friends and many friends became extended

ADMINISTRATIVE family. She felt making a difference in just one person’s life was worth our time here on earth. She maintained communication with several of her elementary school friends. Her best friend from Maryland, Harriett White, came out to Oregon to help take care of her after her hospitalization for ovarian cancer. This meant so much to Brenda. She was a member of MAC and participated in several decathlons. In later years, she joined the hiking group. Another favorite activity was singing with the Conchords Chorale, and her soprano voice joined another singing group, Grace Notes, singing for very ill people in foster care, private homes and assisted living facilities. Brenda became a PEO member in 2010. Her favorite escape was the coast and especially Pacific City, where she maintained a home and loved to walk on the beach. Brenda enjoyed her stepchildren, Betsy (Jim) and Dave (Debbie), and being “G’ma” to six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. They were a big part of her active and fulfilling life. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; sister, Jean; and brother, Bob. Her beloved older brother, Bill and wife, Eileen, live in Maryland. She is survived by her stepchildren, Betsy (Jim) Holzgraf and David (Debbie) McGowan; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews and their children. Brenda was the

embodiment of love and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

James B. Wiley July 17, 1942 – July 11, 2014 Senior preferred member James Bryan Wiley passed away July 11, 2014, unexpectedly but peacefully, at the age of 71. He was born July 17, 1942, in Portland, to Barbara Bulene Wiley and James Watt Wiley, M.D. Both parents are deceased, as well as his younger brother, Bruce Wade Wiley. He is survived by his brother, John Watt Wiley, M.D., who resides in Ann Arbor, Mich., with his wife, Eileen, and daughter, Angela. Jim maintained close contact over many years with his cousins, Barbara Lewis and Robert Wiley, who reside in Portland, Linda Watt, M.D., who resides in New Zealand, as well as cousins, nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. He was particularly close to his godson, Eric Christensen, who resides in New Hampshire.

Jim graduated from Lincoln High School in 1960. He was selected to the All-State football team. He started his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, and completed his baccalaureate degree at the University of Oregon.

A C T I vi T ies Take a stroll to Chapman Elementary to watch thousands of Vaux’s swifts descend on the school’s chimney

alking and Hiking partner up with the Family Events Committee for a story-filled, guided walk to Chapman Elementary on Thursday, Sept. 18. Meet in the Turnaround at 5:45 p.m. and walk to view a Portland tradition, the annual swift watch. This is a 3-mile round-trip walk. Every year, one of Portland’s most spectacular natural events takes place at Chapman Elementary. Thousands of Vaux’s swifts gather in the city as they prepare to migrate to Central America and Venezuela. Migrating swifts often use chimneys as roosts (places to sleep), and they are likely to return to the same roost year after year. One population has been returning to Chapman since the 1980s, and it is one of the largest known roosting sites of migrating Vaux’s Swifts in the world. Just before sunset, thousands of swifts form into a swirling mass above the Chapman and pour into the chimney. The swifts are aptly named, with flying speeds up to 100 miles per hour. The birds began using Chapman around 1980, largely due to the loss of their natural habitat. The swifts prefer to roost in hollow tree snags in old-growth forests. The school refrained from using its heating system in September. If temperatures cooled in late September, students and teachers wore sweaters and jackets. About 10 years ago, the Audubon Society of Portland, and other bird lovers raised $75,000 to purchase a new heating system and decommission the chimney, which is now used solely as a nesting place for the Vaux’s swifts. Swifts have a voracious appetite for flying insects, including beetles, wasps, flying ants and spiders. This will be a fun and family-friendly walk. It is recommended to bring drinks and snacks. This is a free event but please register at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7265.

Balladeers

Balladeers Find Fans in an Unlikely Setting The Balladeers weren’t sure about that show at St. Mary’s Home for Boys in early May, one of two major performances ending the 2014 winter-spring season. After all, St. Mary’s treats the most troubled young men from every county. The 10 to 18 year olds sometimes arrive shackled, and always in shock. Labeled Oregon’s throwaway children, most come from abusive situations and families with drug issues. They are

frustrated, angry, alone and sad, according to material from the Beaverton facility. About 60 boys and staff filed silently into the campus chapel and sat, respectfully awaiting the first note. “I’m not sure they’ll relate to our music,” whispered Balladeers Director Scott Tuomi, “but let’s go.” It was fun “watching the bored, glazed looks change to smiles and toe tapping,” said Balladeer Chris Rasmussen. And, the evening just soared from there, ending with a standing ovation! According to a St. Mary’s staffer, “The boys absolutely loved your concert. They wrote genuine, sincere, beautiful thank you notes (which they arrive not knowing how to do) and they’re still talking about how much fun that night was.” It was a moving experience for the Balladeers. It demonstrated the incredible healing power of music, and that music transcends ages and all types of boundaries, said Tuomi. “I was truly moved by their response. What a special gift that concert was (for us).” For male members who are interested in contributing to a moving musical experience, such as this one, the Balladeers begin their new season at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, in the third floor Activities Classroom.

Some Common Myths about Health Care in America Tuesday, Sept. 9, 6:30-8 p.m. Highly politicized media accounts of the healthcare system have led to a number of misconceptions about healthcare in America. Common myths such as, “America has the best healthcare system in the world,” and “America has the most technologically advanced healthcare system,” though compelling, are not supported by a number of cross-national comparisons. Likewise, current political debates about Obamacare seem to overshadow the reality of the importance of health insurance. This presentation highlights recent international and national data on healthcare access and quality to address popular myths about healthcare in America. The lecture is presented by Dr. Matthew J.

Uncovering the Truth about GMOs Friday, Nov. 14, 9-10:30 a.m. Corn, cotton, and soybean plants that have been engineered to resist insect pests and herbicides (GMOs) are now planted on approximately half of all U.S. cropland. An analysis of the science and U.S. experience with GMOs through 2009 concluded that they offer substantial net environmental and economic benefits compared to conventional crops. However, the committee found that the benefits have not been universal across the landscape, some may decline over time, and potential benefits and risks may become more numerous as the technology is applied to more crops.

BALL Y V OLLE e g a t S l a n io t a N e h t n o e s Shin Two Team

AC 13- and 14-Black volleyball teams recently gained valuable experience when they competed in the 35th Annual USA Volleyball Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Junior National Championships in Minneapolis. It was the first time in seven years a MAC team was represented at nationals, and the girls were honored to be the only Oregon teams in the American division. Not only were they exposed to top-level competition, the girls also enjoyed meeting other teams from around the country. As is customary in volleyball, each day the girls lined up for their match and shook hands and exchanged small gifts with their opponents. Four days of competition was tough, but the MAC teams held their own. Standouts for 14-Black were team captains Tully Bush and Libby Lazzara. In an early match, Bush had five blocks during

44 | The WÄąnged M |

september 2014

one rally. As setter, Lazzara ran a quicker offense than she had all season. Alissan Speidel served extremely well early in the tournament. The two outside hitters, Erin Foley (one of only two seventh graders on a predominantly eighth-grade team) and Caroline Easton, were often matched up with taller players across the net and still battled hard. Right side, Grace Mathews (the other seventh grader) played incredible defense and proved she can play at this level. Anna Rask and Anthea Fraser showed extreme versatility in playing all three positions across the back row, including server. Bennett Shoemaker played little back row this season but showed vast improvement. She was also a big block in the front row with Bush. Courtney Kingsley demonstrated guts and heart. Being the shortest middle in the entire bracket, she showed unwavering confidence that cannot be taught.

A thletics The entire 13-Black team stepped up their game as well. Emily Buchholz had three solo stuff blocks and Hadlee Hallman had seven service aces. As usual, this team of seventh graders was the smallest group of girls in the tournament, and their incredible defense continued to frustrate opponents. They even took a game off third-place finisher, Team Momentum from Montana. Grace Tennant and Alli Buchholz (the only fifth grader) both guided the team while Jane Ferguson, Grace Healy and Madeline Cooney pounded at the net. Peyton Bush stepped up her defensive play and libero Caroline Tenant had a huge, momentum-changing dig against one of the strongest hitters in the tournament. The only player to miss Nationals was defensive specialist Amy Menendez, who was instrumental to the season both on and off the court. Being a part of Junior Nationals was an eye-opening experience for the girls. The 14-Black team spent the entire regular season winning 90 percent of its games and finishing seventh in the CEVA Gold division, therefore the results at Nationals came as a bit of a surprise. The 13s had a similar experience at nationals, but knowing they were the No. 1 13s team in CEVA’s U14 division gave them tremendous satisfaction. If the goal for black level teams is to continually improve on the prior season’s finishing seeds, they each successfully accomplished their goal by moving up over 25 spots this year.

2014-15 Season: Coaches, Pre-Season Clinics and Tryouts Both sets of 13- and 14-Black coaches move up with their respective teams next year. MAC plans to bring in more experienced coaches and pair them with several returning coaches to reinforce the club’s presence at both the competitive and recreational levels. There is an informational meeting from 6-7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26 for both new and returning parents and players. The program coordinator reviews the tournament schedule, presents the player handbook, and answers questions prior to tryouts. After tryouts, players selected for a team have individual meetings with their coach. Preseason clinics are on Sunday evenings from September through October. Tryouts begin on Sunday, Nov. 2 for 12s and 14s and Saturday, Nov. 22 for 16s and 18s.

The MAC Junior Basketball Program is ready for the 2014-15 season and is looking forward to competing with the top junior teams in the region. The goal of this program is to provide members with competitive experiences that consistently challenge players to train, practice, prepare and compete at all levels. MAC is dedicated to providing an unparalleled basketball experience through quality facilities, talented coaches and comprehensive resources. All skill levels are encouraged to participate; the club offers select teams and developmental teams. Players are expected to commit themselves to the MAC basketball program. It is expected that players arrive to practice, games and other team functions on time. 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 program plans to field two boys teams for third through sixth grade, and one team each for seventh and eighth grades

Clinics Pre-season 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. MAC member coaches, athletic members and

September 2014

junior sports staff oversee the clinics. The first pre-season clinic is Sunday, Sept. 14. Third- through fifth-grade boys participate at 1-3 p.m.; sixth- through eighth-grade boys at 4-6 p.m. The second clinic is from 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, for boys in third through eighth grades. This focuses on what players can expect to see at the upcoming evaluations, including practice drills similar to those held in tryouts. Each clinic costs $20 per session.

Competitive Teams MAC is fielding one competitive “Black” team per grade. These teams are for the more serious, experienced players who strive toward competing at the highest and most elite levels of play. All practices and games are mandatory, and players need to 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 the 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. There is an effort to provide balanced Continued on page 48

Pre-Season Parents Meeting There is a required parents meeting at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21. The updated handbook, which includes team selection criteria, team rules, expectations, practice schedules and more, is reviewed. Please plan to attend.

Evaluations There are evaluations for all teams. 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. Primary criteria for player selection is performance at tryouts in addition to other factors such as balance of team skills, sportsmanship/ attitude, player’s availability, and commitment to making basketball their athletic priority during the season. MAC member coaches and junior sports staff run the evaluations. Tryouts are closed and only athletes, coaches and MAC staff are allowed in the gyms. Players

as one of the top five players in tryouts for the grade selected. To qualify, a player first must attend their grade-level evaluation, 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 Basketball Sub-Committee

Athletics prior to tryouts) a roster spot will be left available. However, they are still required to attend their age group evaluations. Coaches/ junior sports staff then assess these players once they have healed. These players must be evaluated no later than Sunday, Nov. 30, and the final roster is set for the season at this time. Evaluation results and team assignments are posted on the MAC Junior Basketball web page at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10. Each player is billed $390 (Black teams) or $235 (Red teams) that is used for leagues/tournament fees, end of the year banquet, coaches’ gear and team ball bags. Additional charges include uniform costs and may include additional tournament fees for more active teams. If you decide, after player evaluations, 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. Sunday, Oct. 12. Any cancellations after this date has a negative impact on the team and the program, and your registration fee cannot be reversed.

Girls Program Has Levels for All Players The girls’ MAC Junior Basketball Program provides a balance between competition and skill development. Member coaches provide a positive experience for girls to grow as basketball players and as people. Learning the fundamentals of the game will be stressed at each grade level of the program. This upcoming season, the MAC Junior Basketball Program plans to field one girls team per grade level for third- through eighth-grade. Please see the Fall Class Guide for a complete schedule of clinics.

Want to Get Fit? Try a Complete Program D

oes running a marathon make you a fit person? What about bench pressing 500 pounds? Standing on one leg for five minutes? While these are all challenging accomplishments that require training and hard work, individually they may not make a person fit. Many people tend to focus on one area of fitness while ignoring the other major components. There are five components of physical fitness that are all equally important – cardiorespiratory (aerobic) endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition. Over the course of the next four months, we highlight each of these components and provide you with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines.

Aerobic Fitness This is the ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderateto-high intensity exercise for prolonged periods. Increasing aerobic fitness helps to decrease risk factors that contribute to heart disease and diabetes. For example, it increases HDL cholesterol level, decreases body fat, and lowers blood pressure and resting heart rate. The ACSM recommends adults get at least 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise five days a week, or 20-60 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise three days a week. It’s also important to do five- to 10-minute warmup and cool down. Moderate intensity exercise is 50 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate, while vigorous intensity exercise is 70 to 85 percent. Estimate maximum heart rate by taking 220 minus your age, and consider buying a heart rate monitor to track your heart rate, or do a 15-second pulse check and multiply by four. MAC personal trainers can help you maximize your cardio workouts or custom build a workout program for a future longdistance event or goal. Contact Personal Training Coordinator Andy Shupp at 503-517-7548 or ashupp@themac.com for more information or to set up a session with a personal trainer. WM

CARDIO TIPS

As the weather in Portland starts to head into the rainy season, many of us turn to the gym to get in our cardio workouts. Here are some indoor cardio tips: MIX IT UP! Use different machines to create muscle balance and prevent boredom. Try different programs on machines to challenge your body in different ways. If you fall into a routine with the same machine and the same program, your body also falls into a routine. Change the level of impact, which is important to maintain muscle mass and bone density. LET GO! Supporting yourself on a machine can lower the intensity and lower the amount of calories you burn. Maintain proper upright posture to develop your balance and stability as if you were walking down the street. You might have to reduce the level of intensity, but that’s OK, you’re getting stronger.

PUSH THE INTENSITY! If you are able to read a magazine while exercising, you’re probably not working out hard enough to improve your fitness. Don’t believe the old fat-burning myth that the slower you go, the more fat you burn. The higher the intensity, the more calories you will burn, including fat calories.

TRY AN INTERVAL/ANAEROBIC WORKOUT! Intervals are time efficient and fitness effective. Start an interval program by doing a 2:1 ratio and work up to a 1:1 ratio. For example, sprint 30 seconds and walk or jog for 60 seconds, for five to 30 minutes. Make sure your rest period is still active

he MAC Ski Team believes that every athlete has their own individual journey with ski racing. Regardless of ability, the team has the tools and resources – with one of the best coaching staffs in the Pacific Northwest – to support and improve every athlete’s skill level. The coaching staff’s focus is on creating relationships with member families, nurturing the family aspect on the mountain, and doing our part to instill a life-long love for the sport of skiing. From entry-level ski racers to elite junior athletes, the MAC Ski Team has what it takes to improve a skier’s fundamental skills and ski-racing tactics, and to support your goals in the sport.

sport at an early age. At MAC, we believe that early specialization is short-sighted.

The nuts and bolts The MAC Ski Team is committed to a skills-based development of its athletes, focusing on the fundamentals of good skiing first. This includes the development of the four major skill pools. • Edging: tipping of the legs and skis;

Athletics The Family That Skis Together, Succeeds Together The MAC Ski Team is just like every sport program at the club – it is made up of tightknit member families who love to participate in sports together. The Johnsons are a perfect example of the family affair that is the MAC Ski Team. Mom Sharon, a key member of the Ski Committee, and dad James, an avid skier and on-hill supporter, have three children on the team. “James and I always talk about what else we would be doing if we didn’t ski – probably nothing. The weather in Portland doesn’t let you get outside too often,” Sharon says. “Skiing is the one thing we have in our busy lives that we get to do as a family, all together. The kids all have other interests that don’t include one another, but skiing is that one thing that connects them. It’s amazing to watch the three of them get on a chair together with the common goal of finding the hardest run or the best path through the trees. We don’t push them to be on the podium. We want them to be good skiers and to have fun and, well, if the get up there, we will cheer pretty hard and be very proud. And if not, that’s OK too.”

• Rotary: twisting of the legs and skis; • Pressure Control: flexion and extension of the body and bending of the skis; • Balance: fore-aft as well as lateral balance, and the overall awareness of the center of mass. Only after there is a solid understanding and ownership of these skills and the ability to blend them together is semi-regular, do we believe the addition of speed is both safe and beneficial. Building a rock-solid foundation at a young age is vital, and a key element found in the development of the best ski racers in the world. Simply put, our coaching philosophy, which is based on the United States Ski Association’s (USSA) Alpine Training System, is to teach athletes to become great skiers first, with a broad fundamental skill base and a love for their sport.

Josh, 9, will be in his second season in the U10 race program. Josh exemplifies the team’s philosophy of creating great all-mountain skiers first, then transitioning those solid fundamentals to the race course. He absolutely loves to ski, and would be on the first chair and the last chair of the day if he were allowed. Jake, 12, is transitioning from the U12 race program into his first year as a U14 this season. Last season, Jake made some of the most dramatic technical improvements on the entire team. During Holiday Camp last December, Jake was pretty loose with his arms, shoulders and upper body discipline. Coaches never knew where his hands were going to be at any given time. By the spring, Jake was totally engaged and drastically improved his foundational skills. His upper body was quiet and stable, his shoulders level, and his hands driving forward and down the hill. Jacquelyn, 14, is in her first year as a U16 next season. Jacquelyn is another ski teamer that absolutely loves to ski. She enjoys ripping the mountain and training with her group of friends on the team just as much, if not more, than actually racing. Her fundamental skills have improved each and every season on the team, and our goal for her is to continue her growth in the sport throughout high school until she leaves the program to go to college. She is the perfect candidate for the new Developmental Team program for U16 to U21 athletes looking to continue skiing, training, racing locally, and having fun with their peer group throughout high school. When athletes leave the program they have a deep understanding of the fundamental skills of highlevel skiing, giving them an “at-will” relationship with their skis. Athletes at this level also have the opportunity to become a certified Ski Professional with Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) upon exiting the program. WM

Kickoff event The MAC Ski Team holds its annual Kickoff event about a month earlier than last year, on Sunday, Sept. 21. This allows members to get registered earlier, helping to solidify difficult school and sport schedules, and gives athletes a chance to get underway with strength and conditioning training, known as dry-land training to ski racers. The team has some new and improved programming options for the 2014-2015 winter season, and we encourage every MAC skiing family to drop by the Kickoff event in September to learn how they can get involved. Look for details to come via posters around the club, and emails to the Skiing and Outdoor opt-in email groups. Any questions can be directed to the MAC Ski Team Program Coordinator Justin Rackley at jrackley@themac.com or 503517-7581. WM

Golf Etiquette Ever wonder why golfers take off their hats and shake hands after the final hole? It’s simply a display of courtesy and respect for the other golfer and his/her caddy, but it’s clearly a nice touch. Let’s all be like the pros and adopt this procedure after playing.

Bogies and Brews This popular and noncompetitive ninehole endeavor is being repeated on a few courses this fall. Look for more information about the courses and dates soon.

Annual Golf Scramble This annual event was held at Rock Creek Country Club, and while there was a full field, a few more teams would have made things even better. Many don’t and won’t remember that the average of legitimate handicaps was 22.5, with many getting the maximum allowed. Golfers are encouraged to put this event on their calendars next year. The weather was great, and the course condition and food was excellent. Rock Creek and the tournament organizers did a great job. This year saw the addition of teams made up from committees; thus, there was a tourney within a tourney. In fitting fashion, the winner of the All Committee Division was the Golf Committee team of Debbie Bensching, George Johnson, Sandy Moore and Brett Hyland. –Greg Marshall

The Secret to the Fairway Bunker Shot The fairway bunker shot is rarely practiced, but a golfer can build his or her confidence if they have a clean shot out. Opposite of the greenside bunker shot, which requires taking sand to blast the ball out, the fairway bunker shot is best when it is picked clean. To set up for a good swing, slightly dig both feet into the bunker, play the ball back of center, and focus on the front part of the golf ball. This will help to ensure you make contact with the ball first (instead of the sand) for a clean shot from the fairway bunker. Remember to take one or two extra clubs and check the bunker lip, which plays a role in dictating distance. –Robyn Lorain

Supportive Atmosphere Leads to Success for Climbers I

t was an amazing experience traveling to Atlanta to watch our 10-year-old son, Sutton, and eights of his friends and teammates – Geoffrey Engel, Tori Siegel, Sonja Johanson, Hannah Park, Celia Diffely, Brett Walker, Ryan Patidge and Carson Fritz – at the Sport and Speed Climbing National Championships. The environment was festive, and as a team, we cheered, celebrated and enjoyed seeing climbers and families from all over the country. The Atlanta venue is a phenomenal facility that is more than double the size of the largest climbing gym we have ever experienced. While the gym’s 65-plus-foot walls are intimidating, it was simply astonishing to see the top MAC youth climbers display their determination and athleticism. Going back one year, we had no idea our child would climb at a national level and that we would be welcomed into a caring community and experience an extremely exciting sport. We had joined MAC in February 2013 and thought that climbing might be fun for our two kids. Sutton and Sloane are active and had been a part of other teams, but we never felt like they had truly found their passion. As parents, we had only climbed a few times and were unfamiliar with the sport and its supportive community. What we found is that climbing builds both a physically and mentally strong athlete. The MAC coaches pride themselves in supporting the whole child, making sure they make healthy eating choices and do their homework while helping them achieve their climbing goals. The kids go through a rigorous practice, and they have incredible core, upper- and lower-body strength, and can visualize their way up a challenging route. It is remarkable to watch a child reach the top of a climb and see their delight in reaching their goal. We have witnessed an incredibly supportive team environment. The older climbers mentor the younger climbers. Even at a very young age, they quickly become role models for the next generation of athletes joining the team. Sloane, who is 8, just started in January and we now see her working with younger kids in the new bouldering area. As parents, we are so happy to be a part of the climbing community. We’ve formed meaningful relationships with MAC climbing families and their athletes. We climb, socialize, catch a bite to eat at the Pub and travel together to local and championship events. The community’s support and love of the sport is contagious, and it’s been lots of fun to be a part of this environment. For our kids, being on the MAC Climbing Team has taught them to be disciplined, independent and goal-oriented. They keep in spectacular physical shape. But most of all, it is wonderful to see kids happy, have compassionate friendships, and do something they love. It’s also very exciting to be a part of a rapidly growing sport; we highly encourage other families to learn more about the MAC Climbing Team. Bob Warmkessel and Lea Trefsgar recently enjoyed a trip to SCS Nationals to watch their son, Sutton, compete. WM

MAC climber Sutton Warmkessel advanced to Nationals in bouldering, and sport and speed climbing during his first year with the team.

Hard Work and Fun Lead to Nationals MAC climber Sutton Warmkessel reached the Sport and Speed Climbing Nationals in just his first year of climbing. He recalls his experience below. It took a lot of work for me to get to Nationals my first year on the MAC Climbing Team. When I was invited to join the team, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to climb or continue playing soccer, but after my first few practices I knew I would always be climbing. I made lots of new friends and felt welcomed on the team. The other climbers – like Tori Siegel, Olivia Durant, Aiden Schenk and Carson Fritz – helped me get better and stronger. The MAC coaches were great, and we had fun at our challenging practices two days a week. In my first competition I didn’t place very high, but I was OK with that because I had lots of fun. In my next few competitions I began to improve. Then I got to see a professional climbing competition with some of the best climbers in the country, and it made me want to climb even more. At my first regional bouldering competition, my goal was to make it to divisionals. After that, I kept reaching each new goal that I set, eventually making it to bouldering Nationals. Nationals was a very fun experience. I got to watch the best youth climbers in the U.S., and I knew what I was up against from Sport and Speed Climbing Nationals in the spring. I also knew that I really wanted to make Nationals again and place higher than I did in bouldering. It took a lot more training, and I usually climbed five days a week for three hours, but it was always lots of fun. Sport Nationals in Atlanta was epic! I made new friends from other teams and learned a lot about what I still need to do to get better. I’m looking forward to next season!

National results MAC climbers had several strong performances during the Sport and Speed Climbing National Championships last month. Brett Walker became the first MAC climber to reach the finals at the tournament, and this marked the first time three MAC athletes reached the semifinal round. MAC also took nine athletes to SCS Nationals, the most in the team’s history. This was the highest team placement for MAC, and Tori Siegel became the first MAC speed climber to finish in the top 10 in the country. See results in the October Winged M. WM

Integrative Fitness Continued from page 57 physiological processes cannot exist without proteins. Proteins are especially important in the maintenance and repair of muscles before and after physical activity. Whether running sprints or long distances, swimming, biking or lifting weights, exercising causes the body to expend more energy. The body needs additional nutrients to recover from physical activity. Protein plays an important role in a healthy diet because it helps repair and strengthen the body’s muscle tissue. While protein is critical in building muscle mass, more is not necessarily better. Eating large amounts of lean protein does not equate to a toned body. Muscle tone and growth happens only when exercise and diet are combined. Research has shown that timing of protein intake plays a significant role. Eating highquality protein (such as eggs, dairy or lean meats) immediately after exercise, with complex carbohydrates, enhances muscle development and repair. Duration and intensity of the activity also is a factor when it comes to protein requirements. When determining protein requirements for individuals, it’s important to look at the person’s overall diet. On average, protein should contribute about 10 to 15 percent of a person’s total dietary intake. The remaining fuel used is made up of carbohydrates and fat.

September 2014

Most athletes can get the recommended amount of protein through diet alone, without the use of supplements. Protein powders and protein supplements can be used for convenience, but are not necessary. If you have any specific question regarding how to choose healthy sources of proteins for you or a family member, feel free to contact Christensen at tcullen@themac.com or 503-517-7834. MAC nutritionist Tysen Christensen frequently discusses health topics in The Winged M.

YOGA

The Superfood of Exercise J

anuary is about resolutions, but why not September? A childhood of new school years has primed many of us to launch new pursuits in the fall. Maybe yoga belongs on your list of things to learn. Yoga is the superfood of exercise. Besides flexibility, regular practice builds balance, core strength, total body strength, focus, and awareness of posture and breathing. Classes also include a short meditation that helps students cultivate self-awareness, nonjudgmentalism and gratitude that can eventually inform their day-to-day life. Join hundreds of fellow MAC members in a rewarding physical and mental pursuit that can begin at any age and continue over a lifetime. In the six years Lisa Buchmiller has held the joint position of yoga coordinator and teacher, the number of MAC yoga classes has doubled, and each week she continues to hear from members

asking how to get started in yoga and what to expect. The yoga committee, chaired by Erin Stammer, enthusiastically welcomes you to explore this 5,000-year-old discipline. One of yoga’s greatest challenges can be the need to leave our competitive nature at the studio door. As a yoga student, your job is to “find your edge, stay safely within it, and not judge yourself by what you used to be able to do, or what the teacher or person on the next mat is doing,” Buchmiller says. “You learn that over time.” Whatever reason you are drawn to yoga – to counteract stiffness, improve balance, reduce stress – you’ll be launching an interesting journey with yourself. Experiment. “We have a variety of teachers with their own special gifts. Give several classes and teachers a try,” advises yoga committee member Miki Chown. “And as we say in yoga, ‘Each day, each moment, something new shows up.’” WM

Cycling

Want to Ride Faster? Add Interval Training Adding short bursts of intensity can increase fitness and speed

he Oregon cycling activities calendar never ends, it moves from one type of activity to another. In September, road riding makes way for cyclocross, and the Pacific Northwest is the nation’s epicenter for this style of racing. Leading the way is Portland, which hosts the country’s largest cyclocross series, the Cross Crusade. September begins with multiple cyclocross clinics for those interested in participating in this highly addictive activity, then moves into weeknight races at Alpenrose Dairy, and multiple weekend races around the Portland area. For information on clinics, training and racing, visit the MAC cycling group’s webpage. Don’t let all those accumulated riding hours go to waste. The Cycling Committee coaches have a few suggestions to maximize your training base prior to winter.

Interval training: What it is and why you should do it If you spend time around cyclists, you will hear about interval training. It may sound hard and only for serious cyclists, but that’s not true. Well, it might be hard, but it’s for everyone! Intervals are a great way to increase fitness and health. What are intervals? Intervals are a planned series of different intensity efforts during training. These usually include a hard interval followed by a rest

66 | The Wınged M |

September 2014

period. Rather than ride at a steady pace for your entire ride, these planned efforts boost your fitness. The fundamental variables are duration and intensity – how long and hard each interval is. The effort may be monitored by heart rate, power/wattage or with perceived exertion. These short efforts challenge your body to adapt to harder work and have a significant affect on your fitness. They also burn more calories in a shorter period of time. Because these sessions are hard training, you typically keep them to one or two days per week. There are an infinite amount of interval types; here’s a basic example of an interval session: VO2 hill repeats – On a moderate-grade hill, ride hard and steady for 1 minute up the hill, then 2 minutes next time, then 3 minutes the next time. Between each hard effort, take an equal rest period (1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute). As you build fitness you can add longer intervals up to 5 minutes. Do the intervals after a good warmup. Adding this type of structured training helps add diversity to your program and kick up your fitness! If you are frustrated with your current fitness and looking for the next step, adding interval training is a great way to make a change. For more information on these types of workouts, join the MAC Cycling group for their weekly rides. The coaches can answer questions for you. WM

Andrew Crawford, 14, says he enjoyed the extra training for nationals, and believes the feedback from each sensei helped him in different ways. He is focused on his goal of reaching the black-belt level. Andrew took bronze medals in both kata and kumite. Michael Reynolds, 14, finds sparring exhilarating and enjoys the workout. He maintains his calm by telling himself he is simply going to go into the ring and do his best. Michael is keeping his eye on the prize of “getting to be a 10th-degree black belt and a great fighter.” He is on his way, taking a silver medal in kumite. Paige Crawford, 11, has pushed through a lot of headaches this year. After a long day at school and then homework, she comes to the club to train and has to fight through fatigue. The motivation of doing well and winning a medal at nationals has helped her. She says she always feels better when she pushes herself to do her training. Cole Soot, 11, feels good about himself for competing at nationals and his goal is deceptively simple – he wants to be the best person he can be. Cole worked hard through the winter, spring and summer, and his karate has improved tremendously. Neither Paige nor Cole won medals at the tournament, but their improvement is worth the work. The adults who participate in the karate program contribute in varied ways and though mentioned last are far from least. Their palpable enthusiasm and helpful contributions feed the group. Jim Prihoda, a family man, endocrinologist, photographer and avid karate student who is testing for his black belt in November, took gold medals in both style-specific kata and long weapons. He also took two bronze medals in kata and kumite. Jim was the Karate Committee chair from 2011-13. Maya Schell, 25, took two gold medals – one in team kata and the other in style-specific open kata. She also won a bronze medal in the 18- to 34-year-old female advanced kata. “Competition training has been one of the greatest additions to my development and experience in karate,” she says. “The extra training and focus on competition has given me an intense drive to become the best I can, not only as a karate-ka for myself, but also to represent our organization and our sensei well. Competitions and the preparation we go through together creates a great sense of camaraderie with teammates and coaches, and makes the experience unforgettable.”

Group Keeps Spirits High With Outing A July party with grilled salmon and barbecued chicken – what could be better? This was the fare for the MerryMacs annual summer get-together at the home of Karen Hook. Members and friends enjoyed a delicious potluck dinner and games of bingo afterward. Nan Overall provided jars of homemade jam to the winners. The MerryMacs are back in the West Pool in September to play water volleyball. –Dinda Mills

Racquetball

Women’s Program Growing Next Year The 2014 season was another great year for MAC racquetball. The club celebrated six individual state championships, four national championships, and member Sam Reid contributed to the Oregon State Beavers team, which won its eighth consecutive National Team Collegiate Championships. Member Sanjay Bedi was a state champion, while Lexi York and Gavin Usher both won multiple state and national titles. In May, the season culminated with a fantastic Club Singles Championship tournament and end-of-season banquet. Fantastic food, supplied by Noho’s Hawaiian Cafe and Thai Noon, complimented the great competition and camaraderie. Dylan Reid won his second consecutive men’s open title without giving up a game, while Laura van der Veer won the women’s title. Both were former MAC junior players who have returned from college. This year’s most improved player award went to Adam Mulqueeney, while the MVP went to Sanjay Bedi. The Racquetball Committee handed out a special Lifetime Achievement Award to the very deserving Fritz Camp. The awards for fall, winter and spring intramurals were awarded at the banquet. Brett Moshofsky’s Mo Beer team took the fall and spring seasons, while Kurt Lender’s Whack-Its won the winter season. The following players had undefeated seasons: David Szafranski, Darien Loiselle, Mark Hails, Gavin Usher, Jeff Mutnick, Shellie Bedi, Scott Jackson, Bridget Connolly, Adam Mulqueeney (twice), Austin Teague, Billy Wainwright and Greg Korkowski.

Walking and hiking

Walking and Hiking at a Glance As fall begins, come out and walk or hike with MAC friends – old ones or ones you are sure to meet as you walk and talk. It’s easy to find common ground walking side by side in a beautiful neighborhood or forest. With 12 to 15 events every month, there’s something for everyone who likes to get out and explore. Some outings require some experience; for others, none is required. Hikes or snowshoe outings start from MAC most Wednesday mornings; urban walks on most Tuesday mornings.

Fostering A Lifelong Love of the Water Revamped Swim School program offers classes and clinics for all ages, starting at 6 months.

• SwimAmerica advanced stations levels 6-10 for youth ages 6-12 years

AC Aquatics would like to announce a new program title for what we offer as foundational aquatics courses: MAC Swim School. The MAC Swim School goal is to provide a safe, fun environment where members of all ages learn water safety and continually improve their swimming techniques. Key foundations developed in the program, through educational opportunities, allow for a lifelong enjoyment of aquatics and endless health and fitness opportunities. Aquatics offers more than just kids swim lessons to members. As the name Swim School implies, the program’s foundational programs offer a progression of instruction year-round to members of all ages, from infants to adults. MAC offers the following programs under the MAC Swim School umbrella:

• Swim Fit for levels 6-plus and youth ages 11-18 years

• Water safety incorporated into all programs • Annual water safety event, including coloring contest, introduction to all aquatics programs, activities and prizes. • Big Fish Little Fish for youth ages 6 months to 3 years with at least one parent/guardian • Flying Fish for youth ages 3-5 years • SwimAmerica swim lessons levels 1-6 for youth ages 3 to 12 years

74 | The Wınged M |

September 2014

• Summer camps for swimming, water polo and synchro • Intro to synchronized swimming class for levels 5-plus • Intro to water polo class for levels 3-plus and youth ages 5-12 years

Athletics or have a fear of swimming. There are no expectations or particular goals for the class. It is just a great time to get acclimated to the water, find a love for the water, and explore swimming skills independently.

Levels 1-6* The MAC SwimAmerica Lesson program for children ages 3 to 12 years old revolves around the idea that children should be taught how to swim all four strokes properly as set forth by the American Swim Coaches Association. The program is taught as a 10-level progression where freestyle and backstroke are taught between levels 1-6. Basic skills are mastered and built upon level to level. Swimmers are able to advance levels at their own pace and within the session. Classes are 30 minutes in length.

Advanced Stations Levels 6-10*

• Private instruction for swimming and water polo for all ages • Adult stroke clinics • Adult group swim classes • Fish out of Water adult swim clinics for beginner adult members with no prior swimming experience • Special needs one-on-one lessons

This program is for ages 6 to 12. Swimmers continue developing their endurance and improving their technique in freestyle and backstroke. They also learn breaststroke and butterfly. Once a swimmer has graduated out of level 10 they are able to swim 300 yards freestyle, 100 yards backstroke and a 100-yard individual medley. Classes are 45 minutes in length. *Level 6 is offered during our 30-minute classes and our 45-minute classes. Parents may decide which best suits their child. Look for next month’s article explaining our foundational adult swim school opportunities. WM

The program also stands apart from a typical local swim lesson program due to the professionalism and level of training provided to staff. MAC instructors are highly trained in teaching students with different learning styles and abilities. The aquatics team believes that independent exploration, fun and a creative atmosphere lead to swimming skills that can be retained for years. MAC instructors also teach basic water safety skills within each SwimAmerica level, and dedicate a portion of class at the end of each session to discuss and practice water safety. The safety skills presented in lessons are for worst-case scenarios when a child gets away from their parent/guardian around water. Outlined below are some highlights of MAC’s youth offerings. Check the seasonal class guides for times and days that classes are offered.

Big Fish Little Fish MAC’s earliest program for children ages 6 months to 3 years is a parent-taught, instructor-led class called Big Fish Little Fish. These classes include songs, games and activities that help with water acclimation and developing a love and respect for the water. There is time for parents and children to explore the water together and develop lasting bonds. Some reasonable outcomes for the children are comfort in the water, breath control and submersions, back floats, blowing bubbles, swimming short distances, and, most importantly, understanding that they must have permission from an adult before entering the water. Above all else, these lessons teach parents to be vigilant in and around the water with their children and to never leave them unattended, even if they feel they are “water safe.”

Flying Fish Flying Fish is the newest addition to MAC Swim School and is for children ages 3 to 5 years old. It is an instructor-led program designed to help kids develop comfort in the water while they independently explore and play games in shallow depths. The class is lead by one or more instructors and revolves around organized play. Flying Fish is designed for children of all levels and comfort and has been shown to be great for those who resist swim lessons

MAC hikers explore everything from urban paths to alpine trails.

Hiking Continued from page 72 hikes, evening walks, family/kid-appropriate walks and multiday trips are part of the mix. Participants gather and carpool to the trailhead, ride MAX or buses to urban places, or just head out on foot.

Length, difficulty, time commitment Events vary from four-mile, two-hour walks on flat terrain to 13-mile, all-day hikes with lots of elevation gain. Urban walks are often done by noon (longer if followed by lunch); while other hikes are longer. Event listings provide start and approximate end times.

Pace

The -M-porium FOR YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

This varies with the walk or hike; some are at a meandering pace, with stops for photos or to learn from the hike leader about local history, native plants or geology. Others move fast, for fitness.

Gear Urban walks are “come as you are.” Hikes in natural areas require the 10 essentials at a minimum. Find them on Walking & Hiking’s “Know before you go” page on the website.

Fitness level This varies with the walk or hike. If you’re concerned about keeping up, contact the leader listed for the specific outing. If the scheduled hikes or walks don’t suit your needs, trip leaders may have alternate ideas for tailoring a walk or hike to the pace you want. –Laura Foster

Michael Brophy’s Vision of the Northwest Landscape

orthwest artist Michael Brophy speaks at MAC at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21. Enjoy a glass of wine and great conversation at this artist’s talk. Brophy speaks about the expressive power of the Northwest landscape and the vivid metaphors he employs in his paintings to invoke his thoughts about the world as a whole. As a 1985 graduate of the Pacific Northwest College of Art, he got his start in Oregon. He has expanded his vision outward from his focus on trees, forested timberlands and clear cuts to Oregon’s high desert and beyond. Brophy is interested in the intersection between natural history and human history and finds his work becoming

more abstract. Hear his take on Oregon’s “sense of place” and how it reflects our larger world. Brophy is represented by the Laura Russo Gallery in Portland. He has had major exhibitions at the Tacoma Art Museum and the Hallie Ford Museum in Salem. Please join the art subcommittee to get Brophy’s personal twist on his work. A no-host bar is available beginning at 5:30 p.m. There is no charge to attend but registration is required. Brophy exhibits his work in the Reading Lounge from September through October. For more information call 503-5177265 or visit theMAC.com. Quick Register ME596 FA14 WM

Our New Home Is NOW OPEN

In 1966, Ron Tonkin began selling a little-known Italian car called Ferrari. Long before they were world-renown both on and off the track, Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo was founded on the love for these beautiful machines.

RON TONKIN GRAN TURISMO 25300 SW Parkway Ave. Wilsonville, OR 97070

And nearly one half-century later, love continues to fuel us in providing the Pacific Northwest with the greatest cars in the world. This summer, we celebrate the memory of Ron Tonkin during the grand opening of our brand new state-of-the-art facility centrally located in North Wilsonville, Oregon. It is a place to build your dreams, realize the rewards of a lifetime of hard work, and to experience the unique culture that only Ferrari and Maserati ownership can offer. We have built our dream. Come build yours.
