very Multnomah Athletic Club family has a unique story to tell about how its members became involved in the variety of offerings at our wonderful club. One story is my family’s experience on the MAC Ski Team. In the winter of David Horstkotte president 1941, my father, Fred Horstkotte, was a member of Grant High School’s Oregon state high school championship ski team. He also had been recently invited to join Multnomah Athletic Club as an athletic member on MAC’s ski team. In the winter of 1974, my wife, Joyce Woodring, won the Oregon state high school women’s overall first-place trophy as a freshman at Milwaukie High School. Two years earlier, Joyce’s father, Dean, had joined MAC when he led the construction of the new Goose Hollow broadcast facilities as general manager of KGW-TV. When our daughters, Dena and Tate, were in second grade and kindergarten, respectively, a family friend and fellow MAC member enthusiastically suggested they “Join the MAC Ski Team! We love it!” Our daughters were happy to make the jump from family ski outings to a local program that would get them to the mountain more often and make them better skiers and new friends, so we attended an introductory meeting to learn what it was all about. Re-established just four years prior in 1998, the MAC team was a small group of about 30 energetic and fun kids from about 15 families, and the program involved 12 Saturdays of training on Mount Hood. Dena and Tate were sold, and at a cost of less than $200, so were Joyce and I. The early Saturday morning departures to Mt. Hood Meadows became a regular part of our lives. We often carpooled with teammates and their families, and met the team in the lodge, where we layered our young racers to stay warm and ushered them out to the ski slope to meet up with their coaches. Of course, there were the occasional minor glitches and mishaps. One morning, the usually stoic Dena fussed about an uncomfortable ski boot until I pulled it off and dislodged two AA batteries stuck in the toe. Much better. Over 12 years, our daughters grew up on the ski slopes and their enthusiasm for the MAC Ski Team and joy of skiing grew in leaps and bounds. Saturdays on the mountain turned into Saturdays and Sundays, and we later added midweek nights to the mix. We

traveled the West, to mountains that we probably never would have visited otherwise. Great friendships among teammates developed, as did friendships among ski team families. The occasional shared weekend rental became shared seasonal rentals, and finally our very own family mountain cabin where the bunk beds were always in high demand by MAC racers and their families. Joyce and I were proud when our daughters took the skills honed on the MAC Ski Team and captained Jesuit High School state championship teams. However, we were also proud of the friendships that flourished among teammates and their families. We were privileged to meet and volunteer with fellow parents dedicated to the success of the team. While the life and ski skills that came from participating in a team sport were important, everyone had fun, including parents always eager to find the best groomers or fresh powder on the slopes. Dena and Tate have retired from the team and are off to college. Joyce and I, though, experienced a little déjà vu when we volunteered at the 2015 OISRA state high school ski racing championships at Mt. Hood Meadows in March. We were once again surrounded by current and former MAC Ski Team racers. Any youth athletic competition requires dedicated volunteers to pull off a successful event, and a ski championship is no exception. The event was chaired by former MAC trustee Vivian Solomon and past Ski Committee Chair Ron Yost, who led a team including nearly 20 MAC parents willing to volunteer three days to help create lifelong memories for these high school athletes. Eleven girls and five boys from the MAC team represented eight different high schools this year. While they made up less than 10 percent of the 200 total competitors, many anchored their respective teams’ strong finishes. MAC members were on the podium in all four events and on teams placing first, second and third overall for both boys and girls. The top high school male and female racer this year? Both MAC Ski Team alums. The word is out. Today, the MAC Ski Team is over 100 strong, half of which are kids under 12, which helps to ensure a strong future for the program. Our family’s time spent with the MAC Ski Team was a wonderful experience shared with other MAC families that we will long treasure. While it’s bittersweet that the days when Joyce and I could keep up with our daughters on the ski slope are gone, they now graciously dial it back a notch or two and humor us. It’s all part of our MAC story. I look forward to hearing yours. WM April 2015

n an effort to make your club more meaningful, management undertook the task of modernizing employee values this past year. For 15-plus years, we organized employee values around a star. That star became important Norm Rich to our staff and to our General Manager members as we went about making the club a wonderful place. As we talked about how to move forward and continue delivering excellence; we wanted to update our values; not only to re-enforce them with staff, but to stretch our efforts to positively impact our membership. I want to share with our membership our new employee values and our passion for delivering on them. Our star is such an important part of previous values that when we embarked on redefining employee values, we stuck with the star as the core. Ultimately, our goal is to Deliver Extraordinary Experiences for our members, guests, community and staff. We are a family that shares experiences, lifestyles, stories, goals, disappointments and accomplishments. We partner with one another to become stronger and more disciplined, to practice wellness, and to learn from our success and failure. We place great importance in Putting People First. Our membership is 20,000 strong, and our staff includes 300 full-time employees and 275 part-timers. We put our members first. We recently added the At Your Service department, which is our attempt to better serve members. Reach out to At Your Service, and staff listens to your questions and works hard to get you answers. Our staff is a primary concern of management and our members. In 2014, MAC management, the Human Resources Committee and Board of Trustees agreed that we needed a MAC minimum wage that was higher than the state minimum wage. Today, all MAC staff (except tipped staff) is paid substantially over state and federal minimum wages. This summer we are closing a great deal of our food and beverage department for kitchen repairs and ballroom upgrades. This is the slowest time of the year. Management is taking large blocks of time off so that more hourly staff can fill in and gain some hours. Executive Chef Philippe Boulot has worked with food and beverage friends in the

community to help employees find summer hours elsewhere. Human Resources brought state unemployment staff to the club to assist affected workers in gaining unemployment benefits, and the club will fund health care for employees who would have lost those benefits over the summer. Our partnership between members and staff will positively practice putting people first. Another employee value is to Commit to the Team. Commitment is defined as a pledge, promise or obligation. As general manager of the largest private athletic club in North America, commitment to the team is a huge promise and obligation. In sports, nothing should come before team. Our staff is focused on making our team stronger. We commit to one another and to our members that our team is stronger than any individual. Together, as a club, we are at the top of our game. As Multnomah Athletic Club grows and matures we need to always Embrace Change. Change never comes easy. But change is enviable, as long as we do not implement change too fast or too extreme, and we explain the reasons and benefits behind changes. Our track record regarding change has improved our club. We try not to make mistakes, and when we do, we try to fix the problem. As we manage the club, we pride ourselves on Acting with Integrity. Our staff strives on being moral and honest. Our members practice those same principles. We form a partnership between members and staff, the bonds of which grow strong, meaningful and long lasting. Finally, we Choose Safety as we go about operating your club. We continue to work hard on making our community as safe as possible. We try to reassure our membership that they are entering a safe environment in what has become a more dangerous world. Over the years we have encouraged staff to work as safely as possible. Our members have helped us do this by investing in our facilities and staff allowing us to have the tools to practice safety appropriately. WM

ach April I try to shower thanks on members who have served on a committee over the past year. Muhammad Ali said, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” While that may be Ed Stoner a bit grandiose when Athletic Director considering service at MAC, the concept is the same. Part of what makes MAC different from other clubs is the committee system. JFK said, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” The opportunity to serve can sometimes seem unimportant, yet if everyone took that approach, the sense of community and connectedness this process generates would be lost, and many of the unique programs here would not happen. With that in mind, I’d like to say a special thank you to a few who answered the call to serve MAC this past committee year. Former President Darcy Henderson spent quite a bit of time supporting Athletics, including supporting the creation of Splash at the Sun Deck, which returns this summer. We also appreciated the time Ann Blume, David DeBlasio and Dwight Terry gave on the board. John Helmer III gave of his time as chair of the Athletic Committee, and was a great sport, taking on the Athletic Chair/Athletic Director Challenge with vigor each month. Thanks also to Derrick Cameron, Judith Perry, Sue Rimekit and Dennis Thompson, who all just rolled off of the Athletic Committee. Hopefully you saw in last month’s Winged M everything MAC’s 24 sport committees accomplished last year. There are too many members involved to mention each one individually, but thank you to the chairs and members helping guide each program’s five-year plan, tournaments, leagues and special events. I look forward to working with the new chairs and volunteers starting this month, and encourage you to complete a committee interest form at the end of the year to become part of MAC’s committee system next spring. Finally, thank you to MAF’s Lisa Bendt and volunteers making a difference by showering funds and support throughout our community via athletic programs, such as this month’s Northwest Shootout, which showcases the best high school basketball players in Oregon and Washington. It will likely be raining threes. I hope you also shower thanks upon those giving of their time and talent this month to keep the club blooming. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB In November, MAC member Jay Waldron and three past presidents, Peter Richter, Tom Elliott and Dennis Cusack, rode BMW adventure motorcycles 2,300 miles, including 500 miles of gravel and dirt roads, from Pucon, Chile, down the length of Patagonia, past many glaciers and guanacos, to Ushuaia, Argentina, to “El Fin de Mundo,” the end of the world. That’s where they snapped this photo, spelling out the initials of their favorite club.

MAC Scholar Athlete Amber Shackelford was named Madison High School’s Rose Princess in March. Shackelford was the captain of the cross country, and track and field teams at Madison, while also serving as co-editor in chief of the school’s yearbook. She also works as a swim instructor over the summer. “I’m most proud of being selected as the MAC Scholar Athlete for my class,” Shackelford told The Oregonian. “I know I’m not the best athlete, but I have put in tons of hours of work over the years to be one of the best scholars, and it meant a lot to me to be recognized for that hard work by not only my coaches, but by other coaches in my school as well.”

Annie Barry joined MAC in January, and has enjoyed both the athletic and social aspects of the club in her first months of membership. In February, she decided to participate in the MAC Try-Athlon with her husband in preparation for the MAC Decathlon this spring. Barry placed first overall on the women’s side, and along the way, had the opportunity to meet fellow members and get more acquainted with the club. A Portland native, Barry attended Beaverton High School and then the University of Oregon, and has been a longtime sports enthusiast throughout. To keep up with her competitive spirit, she enjoys playing soccer, basketball, hiking and running.

Past President Mike Falkenstein took the men’s and overall title in the 2015 Winter Blitz Fit competition at MAC. The Winter Blitz awards participants for the time they work out in MAC’s E&C Room – so Falkenstein was just doing what comes naturally. The former E&C and Decathlon Committee Chair rarely misses a workout, and has been exercising regularly since he was 10. He’s known for introducing the core training wheel to the club in the late 1980s. Fifty-four people participated in this year’s Winter Blitz. Falkenstein currently sits on the E&C Committee. Judie Simpson was the top women’s finisher in the Winter Blitz (see March Faces in the Club).

MAC swimmer Tristan Furnary won four state titles in the OSAA 4A division to help lead Catlin Gabel to a team title in its first year competing in swimming. The Catlin Gable swim team practices at MAC. Furnary, who also swims competitively with the club, won the 100-yard freestyle and 200 individual medley titles, and swam legs on the winning 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays. Furnary, a junior, won six state titles over the previous two years while competing at the 6A level with Sunset. Furnary has also succeeded at the national level, winning the 100yard backstroke at the NASA Junior National Cup in Florida last year. Furnary is a former Al Tauscher Award winner. April 2015

MAC swimmer Kevin Keil racked up 10 podium appearances, including seven wins, at the 2015 Oregon Swimming Short Course 11-14 Championships in March. Keil won the 100- and 200-yard backstroke, the 200 individual medley, the 200 breaststroke, and swam three winning relays, the 200 and 400 medley, and the 400 free, currently ranked No. 1 in the country for 13-14 year olds. Kevin currently holds the state long-course record for 12 year olds in the 200 and 400 IM. The youngest of five, Kevin is a straight A seventh-grade student at Irvington School. When he’s not swimming, Kevin likes to ski, draw and socialize, and is involved in the All Saints Catholic Youth Ministry.

The Culinary Team is working on new options in Joe’s and on the Sun Deck for the closure this summer.

Major Kitchen Renovations Begin in May M

AC members and staff have experienced the disruptions of capital projects in the past. Keeping the members and staff informed as to why, what and when is our ongoing communication goal when the club undertakes these large projects. In last month’s culinary article, I talked about the need to replace aging infrastructure and update areas to meet new safety codes and building ordinances; the why and what of the project. The when of this project will be married Cameron in a strict timeline. In late spring 2015 the McMurry kitchen capital project begins on Monday, Food and beverage May 11 and is scheduled for completion director Monday, Sept. 14. The length and size of this project will cause interruptions to some of the services members have come to expect. The construction timeline begins with 26 Founders being converted to a staging area for the contractors on May 11. The Game Room (Card Room) will be taken out-of-service May 18 and converted into a food preparation area for the entire length of the project. Several of the card tables will be relocated in front of the Sports Pub for the duration of construction. During the kitchen closure, Card Room amenities such as coffee will be suspended. With four banquet rooms out of commission, and the large volume of committee meetings, classes and camps, we do not have the space for a dedicated game room for the duration of the project. Our revenue-generating banquet events will be limited as well.

April 2015

On Saturday, May 23, the Main Kitchen, Men’s Bar Kitchen, Men’s Bar and MACtinis close. The products and equipment will be removed and preventative maintenance will be performed on items needing repair and upkeep. The magnitude of this project will require the contractors to work double shifts, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., and from 3 p.m. to midnight, beginning Tuesday, May 26. The scope of this project includes installing new floors, kitchen hoods, fire suppression measures, and the ballroom HVAC system, and will require that the work not be interrupted once it begins. The timely completion of this project will only be accomplished by contractors working freely during the 16-week construction timeline. Having just lived through the refurbishment of the 50-meter Pool, most have come to realize the way sound travels through the club. The architectural style of MAC is referred to as brutalism; anyone who was present during jack-hammering of the pool deck would agree that brutalism could be heard and felt throughout the MAC. Unfortunately, some of the work will require demolition and reconstruction that cannot be achieved in a quiet fashion. Please excuse our dust and noise, as the end result will assure a well-maintained facility for the future. During the temporary closures of some of our outlets there will still be many great programs, camps and classes happening. The culinary team is working hard to create new experiences for members, from Joe’s offerings to poolside service. The Timbers and Thorns games will be rocking throughout the summer season from the Stadium Terrace. Summer is going to be a great time at MAC and we hope to see you around the club experiencing some of our many new offerings. WM

She attended Beloit College in Wisconsin, and received her bachelor of science degree in education from the University of Illinois. Renée began her career as an English teacher in Belmont, Mass.

Renée continued her career in education as a child development specialist, and subsequently, became director of the Summer Science Institute at Marylhurst University.

Over the years, Renée also worked with many nonprofits, including PlayWrite, Portland Art Museum, Trillium Family Services, Waverly Children’s Home and Young Audiences. She was a member of MAC, Portland Garden Club and the Town Club. She enjoyed books, current affairs, music, art and a wide and loving circle of friends and family.

Charlotte Huth March 7, 1926-Feb. 17, 2015 Charlotte Huth died Feb. 17 in in Hillsboro. She was 88. Born in Portland to Albert and Edna Turville, Charlotte attended Franklin High School, Willamette University and graduated from Oregon State University in 1950. She had a teaching career in Hood River, Portland and Fremont, Calif., and retired from Beaverton Schools in 1984. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church, Pi Beta Phi and MAC. Charlotte wed Willis Huth in 1951, and they had two sons, John and Jim, enjoying over five decades together with family, faith and friends being their core.

Nathalie (Slagle) Kuehl Dec. 24, 1938-Feb. 9, 2015 Senior preferred member Nathalie (Slagle) Kuehl came into this world Dec. 24, 1938, into the loving arms of her parents, Eugene and Louise Slagle, and left it Feb. 9, 2015, in the loving arms of her husband, surrounded by her children. She was 76. Nathalie grew up in Yakima, Wash., then attended Seattle University. She met the love of her life and best friend, Dick Kuehl, while he was stationed at Fort Lewis, and it was love at first sight. Nathalie and Dick married Aug. 22, 1962, and spent the first years of their marriage in Minneapolis, until work moved them to Portland, which became their lifelong home. They welcomed four beautiful children into their lives, and lovingly began the work of raising a family. In 1987, she began work at Barbara Sue Seal, now Coldwell Banker SEAL, and loved every minute of her professional life. Everyday, Nathalie felt immense gratitude for the many friends who shared her life and brought her joy. They enjoyed great adventures together, from lavish Julia Child dinner parties, to Broadway plays and beyond. Nathalie knew how to seize the day. Her kind and generous nature, as well as her immense sense of fun and good humor, enriched everyone’s lives. Nathalie’s greatest joy was her family, and, most especially, her husband, Dick, who adored her every day of their nearly 53 years of married life. From the moment she hopped in his car on a blind date, their fate was sealed. Nathalie and Dick’s devotion to each another carried them through the challenges they faced, most paramount the death of their beloved son, Joseph “Joey” William, and this loss intensified each blessing. By example, Nathalie taught her children and grandchildren to love unconditionally, to see the good in everything and that the most important moment is always the one you’re in. Nathalie will continue to live through her husband, Dick; children, Michael, Nicole (Reinhart) and Christopher; son-in-law, Craig Reinhart; daughter-in-law, Cristin; grandchildren, Talia and Royce Reinhart, Emma, Sophie and Joseph Kuehl, and Lily Kuehl; and brothers, Tom, Vern, Eugene, Jim and John Slagle. Her vivacious spirit also will live on through Kara Kuehl, Sommer McBride and her many, many treasured friends.

James “Jim” F. Martin March 1948-December 2014 Senior member Jim Martin, a dear husband, father, and friend, died in December after a difficult battle with lung cancer at the age of 66. Known to many friends, patients and colleagues as Dr. Martin, Jim loved his 40 years

as a dentist and cared deeply for all whose lives he glimpsed and shared through his practice. Outside of work, Jim was a devoted father and loving husband to his wife and two children. He was passionate about fitness and enjoyed his almost daily workouts in the weight room and on the recumbent bike, enthusiastically pedaling to the beat of Poco or the Moody Blues on his iPod. Jim was hilarious and inspiring in his passion for culinary adventures. From (not so successful) attempts at making his own olives and vinegar, to absolutely delightful smoked chicken and “sous vide” dishes, he was never without curiosity or a new kitchen gadget. His favorite place in the world was Whidbey Island, where he spent his summers as a child, and where his sister still lives. During trips to Whidbey, Jim was known to instigate twicedaily crabbing outings, and incorporate crab into every meal, often topped with his wife’s famous crab sauce. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Jane, daughter Lizzie, and son Drew. His siblings, Rick Martin and Nancy Simmons, live in Arizona and Whidbey Island. He has several brothers and sisters-in law, and numerous nieces and nephews in Portland and around the country with whom he has shared wonderful times. Before his passing, Jim expressed his wish for no funeral or wake, but hoped that instead those he loved and who loved him would visit and remember him in their hearts and in places of shared memories. Words fall short in expressing the depth of our family’s grief, but we find solace in knowing he’s digging clams, setting crab traps, doing root canals, and planting garlic bulbs in a lovely garden, wherever he may be.

Gregory Thomas Wentworth Oct. 10, 1948-Jan. 26, 2015 Senior family member Greg Wentworth, a managing partner at Wentworth ChevroletSubaru and Wilsonville Chevrolet, died suddenly, Monday, Jan. 26, at the age of 66. He was on his way home from Hong Kong after three weeks of traveling in Vietnam and Cambodia with his wife, Kelly, and some of their closest friends. Greg, a lifelong Portland resident, was born Oct. 10, 1948, and was the eldest of five children and the fourth generation in his family’s automotive business. His greatgrandfather began building and selling horse-drawn carriages before cars traveled the streets of Portland in 1903. Greg entered the business in 1970 after graduating from Oregon State University. He began managing the Wentworth Chevrolet-Subaru dealerships in 1977 with his brothers, and since 1999 managed the family’s Wilsonville Chevrolet Continued on page 21 April 2015

Continued from page 19 dealership. It was the area’s first dealership and is known both for its “big backyard” and Greg’s infamous catch phrase: “It’s cars, people, it’s cars.” He was a boss who people liked, listened to and respected. Greg received the 2005 Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award, one of the automobile industry’s most prestigious awards for car dealers who demonstrate a long-standing commitment to effective community service. He served on numerous community boards and was active for many years in Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial Council. Greg was passionate about the development and vibrancy of the inner eastside of the city. Greg was quick with a story, a knowing smile and a helping hand. To say he had hobbies would be an understatement. Greg raised bees, made wine, smoked meat and canned pickles – all before it was cool. He would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night just to sketch out plans for his next woodworking project. His favorite times were spent on the beaches of Neskowin, the ski slopes of Sun Valley, casting a fly, or simply around the dinner table with his family and friends toasting to good times. Greg was an active member of Waverly Country Club, Arlington Club and MAC.

New Features for 2015 Northwest Shootout M

AF celebrates the region’s top high school basketball athletes on Saturday, April 18, as 40 all-star seniors suit up for the Merritt Truax Memorial Northwest Shootout. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation invites you to join the action and amazing showcase of talent during this annual Oregon vs. Washington competition at Liberty High School in Hillsboro. The girls’ game tips off at 4 p.m., followed by the boys at 6 p.m. This year, MAF is excited to announce new coaches representing the Oregon teams. After 26 seasons and a schoolrecord 330 victories for Linfield College, professor and retired men’s basketball coach Larry Doty returns to the game to serve as head coach for the boys team alongside assistant coach – and former Linfield player – Sam Kreiger. “This series provides some of the best high school basketball in the Pacific Northwest. For family, friends, classmates, and sports fans, this is the last opportunity to watch sharp shooters and high-flying talent before they take their skills to the next level,” Doty said. “I’ve always enjoyed the competition and this year I’m excited

to represent as a coach. It has been great to get out and see high school games, as well as reconnect with players and coaches.” The Oregon girls team will be led by AAU coach and skills trainer Laurie (Milligan) Vizzini, who is a Tigard High School grad, former University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball player, and three-time national champion under legendary coach Pat Summitt. Assistant coach Rick Hassmann joins her on the sidelines. “It’s an exciting time to be a part of girls basketball in the state of Oregon. I’ve seen so many players take their game to the next level, as well as earn degrees from major universities,” Vizzini said. “My hope is they not only excel on the court or in academics, but also grow to become strong leaders. We need these women to return and continue to help build healthy, vibrant communities across Oregon and our country – that’s what motivates me to continue to coach youth sports.” For the 2015 Oregon and Washington player rosters as well as Northwest Shootout ticket information, visit www.multnomahathleticfoundation.com. Admission for kids 18 and younger is free.

The Cress Scholarship Contest The Foundation is excited to announce a new scholarship contest in conjunction with the 2015 Northwest Shootout.

“This is a big ship,” he said. “It doesn’t turn quickly. A new president and board can’t come in and – frankly – screw it up. Likewise, though, the president and board can only make incremental changes. Making a major change is a multi-year process.

M eet th e Ne w P re s i d e n t

David Horstkotte by Tom Hallman Jr.

ost members walk into Multnomah Athletic Club, swipe their card at the front desk, and don’t give a second thought about the institution they’re entering. “That’s the way I used to approach it,” says David Horstkotte, the club’s new president. “Now, everything’s changed.” The office of president isn’t just an honorary title that carries with it a reserved spot in the parking structure. Every day, Horstkotte receives at least 30 emails regarding club business. He attends group meetings, sits down with management, takes calls and reviews club issues big and small. He takes the responsibility of the office seriously. As a lifelong member, he remembers the ghosts: Roy Durst, Faye Sasser and Al Tauscher, employees and coaches gone but not forgotten. He wants to do right by them because their spirit and what they stood for remains in the club. On the way to the Men’s Bar, where Horstkotte sat for a wide-ranging interview, he walked through the hallway where photographs of past club presidents line two walls. He stands, figuratively, on the shoulders of those men and women who provided a steady hand. Now it’s his turn, and sitting in the big seat has given him a new perspective on the institution he so loves. “This is a big business,” he said. “We have 500 employees. This is a $30 million a year enterprise. And we have 600 committee members guiding the club, which seems like a goofy way to run something so massive.” “But,” he said, shrugging his shoulders, “it works.”

24 | The Wınged M |

April 2015

Getting involved Horstkotte and his wife, Joyce Woodring, both grew up around the club, and his daughters, Dena and Tate, also are members. The girls were the ones who introduced him to the club’s committee system when they were standout members of the ski team (see page 5). He later served on the Athletic and Property committees. Time spent on various committees taught Horstkotte that what would seem to be the weakness of a sprawling committee system may, in fact, be why the club is so successful, weathering storms – both financial and societal – that have caused other clubs around the country to struggle. “This is a big ship,” he said. “It doesn’t turn quickly. A new president and board can’t come in and – frankly – screw it up. Likewise, though, the president and board can only make incremental changes. Making a major change is a multiyear process. “Moving slowly is a good way to prevent mistakes,” he said. “But we can’t be as reactive to bring in the latest workout. Getting the rock wall in place, for example, took three phases and over 10 years.” He knows that members wish the club would move more quickly to do something about parking. “It’s the biggest complaint we get,” he said. “Every five years we do a major survey and that’s always the No. 1 issue. We have worked very hard on Block 7, but have been met with well-organized opposition. It’s zoned for high density, but for parking we would have to have it rezoned and we got pushback. We’ve been seeking parking solutions for more than a decade.”

Tim Gunther

One club, many meanings As president, Horstkotte has to take a broad view of how MAC plays a role in members’ lives. “The club is a living club,” he said. “It changes as we change. I came here as 9-year-old taking swim lessons. Then boxing. It was a big and mysterious place to explore. I remember visiting Stand 2 with my buddies from school. “After that, I was down at the Men’s Bar after work,” he said. “Then I grew away from the club when I got married and involved with work. I came back with the kids doing Tiny Tots, dance, volleyball and then skiing.”

The club, he said, means something different to each person. “And most of the time we do it well,” he said. “We have dining, fine dining, and classes for children. We have teams, workout classes and educational classes. That’s just a quick list. My dad is 91, and he comes to a balance class twice a week.” Horstkotte said one of his goals is to make sure the institution markets and explains what it offers to an increasingly diverse membership. “The strength of our club is our variety,” he said. “But we must find ways to keep members engaged.” WM

he best racquetball players in the world descend on MAC next month for the ProKennex Tournament of Champions presented by Campbell Global, which returns Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, May 17. As always, the tournament features the top eight men pro racquetball players competing for top prize money. This year’s pro draw is highlighted by defending champion and world No. 1 Kane Waselenchuk. The Edmonton native is the most decorated player in the sport’s history. Waselenchuk has dominated the International Racquetball Tour for the past six seasons, including a record 137-match unbeaten stretch that lasted for three years. During his 15-year run as a pro, he has won 78 tournaments, also an IRT record. Joining Waselenchuk in the pro draw is MAC’s own Charlie Pratt (see page 34) who is ranked in the top 10 and is coming off an impressive semifinal showing at the IRT’s New Jersey Open, where he beat the world’s No. 3 ranked player, Alvaro Beltran. The Tournament of Champions is one of the last stops on the pro tour each season. The tournament is sponsored by ProKennex, Campbell Global, Touchmark, Oregon Sports Authority, Pacific Coast Fruit Co., and Emery & Kerrigan. The in-kind beer sponsor is Breakside Brewing, co-owned by MAC racquetballer Scott Lawrence. “We are thrilled that we’re able to bring the pros back to the MAC for a third straight year,” said Racquetball Committee member Timm Locke, who was instrumental in bringing the tournament back to life. “I have to thank our sponsors for making it happen. The pros love it here, and rightly so – MAC is one of the best places in the country for a racquetball event. I hope a lot of members come out to see what it’s about.”

Hundreds play in amateur draw In addition to the pro event, there is an amateur draw that features many of the region’s top players, including MAC members Gavin Continued on page 30 April 2015

Tournament of Champions Continued from page 29 Usher and Lexi York, both recent Joe Loprinzi Award nominees who, along with MAC’s Lindsay Briglia, took home national championships at the National High School Tournament in St. Louis this past February (see page 32). The Tournament of Champions amateur draw offers competition for players of virtually every level. Last year, more than 30 MAC members were among the nearly 200 amateurs who participated. The Racquetball Committee would love to see that number continue to grow. The amateur draw includes men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles, with multiple ability levels and age groups. Register at www.r2sports.com/tourney.asp?TID=13157, via the sign-up sheets in the racquetball lounge by courts 7-10 or by visiting theMAC.com through Saturday, May 9. Ask anyone who played last year – it is a load of fun. The Racquetball Committee hopes to see you there.

Military Racquetball Federation The Tournament of Champions also has a charitable arm, donating money to the Military Racquetball Foundation. The federation promotes racquetball programs and events for service members in the U.S. and abroad, supporting events for troops in warzones. The federation also works with the Wounded Warriors program, providing a program called Racquetball Rehabilitation Clinics (RRC). The program uses racquetball as rehabilitation for both the physical and mental challenges suffered from combat. WM

Three Decades of World’s Best The Tournament of Champions is not just the largest racquetball competition in the Northwest, it’s also the one with the richest tradition. Many of the pros who will face off at the competition in May weren’t alive when it started in 1987. The tournament began as part of the long-running Rose Festival Racquetball tournament, an annual event in Portland. In 1987, Racquetball Pro Hank Marcus and the Racquetball Committee created a single-match, winnertake-all competition between the world’s two best players, Marty Hogan and Mike Yellen. The winner-take-all format lasted four years before the tournament expanded to the current competition, with the best eight pros from the International Racquetball Tour facing off at MAC.

The tournament has hosted some of the best racquetball players of all time. Hogan is credited with bringing more power to the game. He was the first player whose serve was clocked at over 140 mph, and he won four consecutive world titles from 1979-1981. “MAC was one of my top three favorite clubs to play at,” Hogan recalls. “Every event was run with the upmost professionalism. I appreciated all the fans that came and supported our great game.” Racquetball great Cliff Swain owns the most Tournament of Champions titles, winning six between 1990 and 2001. Swain has won the second most tournaments in the history of the IRT, and has won the world title six times. “MAC is easily in my top five favorite facilities in the world that hosts racquetball events,” Swain says. “Playing the Rose Festival Event there was a career highlight!”

Kane Waselenchuk, left, faces Rocky Carson III during the 2014 Tournament of Champions final. Waselenchuk and Caron are the top ranked players in the world coming into this year’s competition.

Swain was finally surpassed by the reining Tournament of Champions winner, Kane Waselenchuk. The Canadian player has won nine world titles since 2004, only relinquishing the crown during a two-year hiatus in 2007-2008. Waselenchuk was a child prodigy, hitting the ball with a plastic soda bottle at age 2 because the racquet was too heavy. He didn’t have an official coach until he turned pro, and is credited with changing the game. –Tony Roberts

High School Champions MAC’s Lexi York tied a high-school record with her fourth consecutive U.S. National High School Racquetball Championship title in March, becoming just the second player to win the title every year of her highschool career. With the victory, York qualifies for the U.S. Junior National Team. York, a senior at La Salle Catholic College Preparatory, captured the No. 1 Girls title at the 29th U.S. National High School Racquetball Championship in St. Louis, Mo. in March. With her victory, York has qualified for the U.S. Junior National Team. York is also a four-time Oregon State High School Champion. She owns 12 national titles. York had company from other MAC member during the championship ceremony. In the No. 1 boys doubles category, Gavin Usher and partner entered with the No. 1 seed and didn’t disappoint, not dropping a game. In the final they met up with an old nemesis from Beaverton, winning 15-8, 15-9. In No. 2 singles, Usher took home the bronze. In No. 2 mixed doubles, Usher and Lindsay Briglia had a tough draw. Seeded No. 7, they had to work their way through the No. 2 team with an 11-10 tiebreaker win before beating the No. 3 seed. In the final, they met up with a team from Southridge High School and defeated them in two straight games, 15-8, 15-6.

In late January, MAC hosted one of the largest racquetball tournaments in the nation, with 299 high school players representing 18 schools across Oregon. The club buzzed with activity throughout the weekend. Some of the highlights were York winning the No. 1 girls singles and the No. 1 mixed doubles. Usher won the No. 1 boys doubles and No. 2 boys singles. Forty-nine players competed for Lincoln, which was awarded the boys team title, and finished second in the overall team championship. MAC members Sanjay Bedi, Scott Cohn, Scott Stevenson and David Szafranski coached the Lincoln High School team.

MAC’s Pratt among world’s elite players Member Coach Charlie Pratt started playing racquetball around the same time he started going to school. His curiosity about a local match led his mother to sign him up for lessons on the spot at age 6, he played his first tournament at age 7, and he won a national singles title at age 11. At age 14 he qualified for the US Junior team and continued to do so until age 18, winning two more national titles and earning US Junior Team MVP along the way. After juniors, Pratt attended Colorado State University-Pueblo, a powerhouse college team. He won multiple titles in singles and doubles along with the men’s team title. During his junior year in college, Pratt was offered the referee job on the International Racquetball Tour. The IRT designates one official referee, who is always a professional player allowed to participate in the pro draw. Once he loses, he must referee the remaining matches in a tournament. It’s an officiating system unique to racquetball.

Pratt started touring fulltime in 2009 when he was ranked No. 44 in the world. By the end of his rookie season he climbed the ranks to No. 11, and is currently ranked No. 9 in the world. WM

Cole lives in Portland, and has had over 40 solo-artist exhibits and been the recipient of many artist awards over the past 32 years. Her paintings combine dense surfaces, abstraction, geometry and many layers of paint. Cole’s paintings are widely recognized, but came to national attention in March 2010, when her work was featured Carolyn Cole in Architectural Digest. In 2012, one of Carolyn’s paintings was added to the Portland Art Museum collection. A magna cum laude graduate of Portland State University in 1977, her work has been exhibited all over the United States, including the Seattle Art Museum and Portland Art Museum. She spent 10 years as an artist in New York City, where she exhibited extensively before settling back in the Northwest in 1991. Cole is represented by galleries in Portland, Chicago, Seattle, New York City and London. Her paintings are included in numerous private and public collections such as that of former Vice President Al Gore, and many others.

Cole is represented by The Butters Gallery in Portland. Her show is displayed in the Reading Lounge during April and May.

Balladeers

Doyle Show Centerpiece of Singers’ Season The Balladeers present one of their biggest and most important concerts of the year, the Roger O. Doyle memorial concert, in the ballroom at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 12. The event is a chance for the Balladeers to say thanks to the club for its support, and is a highlight for the more than 30 members of the male ensemble. “We’ve come a long way in the last couple of years, and I hope the club will turn out to hear how much we’ve improved,” said secondyear director Scott Tuomi, director of choral music at Pacific University. This annual event has become a show for members and guests who love choral music and voice. This year, Tuomi has arranged for baritone Adrian Rosales to perform. Rosales, an operatic baritone, is beginning his professional career and will be joined by the Balladeers in one of his numbers. Fresh from a triumphant trip to Taiwan, Pacific University’s men’s a cappella group, Splendid Audacity, also performs a short set at the show. “This doesn’t mean we’re shorting the Balladeers, who will perform a mix of favorites from past concerts and a number of new pieces,” Tuomi said. “I think people who are familiar with our work will be pleased with the direction we’re going.” The Balladeers have canceled the early April open rehearsal to concentrate on getting ready for the Doyle concert, a tribute to longtime Balladeer director, the late Roger Doyle.

The MAC Morning Book Club discusses One Hundred Years of Solitude, by recently deceased author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at 10 a.m. Thursday, April 9. One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves together political, personal and spiritual tales to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. The book was translated into dozens of languages.

This month, the Evening Readers discuss Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize winning book Olive Kitteridge, a “novel in stories” that revolves around Olive, a retired math teacher and a big woman in a small coastal town in Maine. Kitteridge is not an easy character to like, and her relationships with her husband and son are complicated and difficult. She can be blunt and moody. Her son tells her, “You can make people feel terrible.” As the stories reveal her interactions with her family and her community, the complexity of her character develops.

ATHLETICS

MAC Decathlon

‘If It Ain’t Broke,

Don’t Fix It’ 54 | The Wınged M |

April 2015

Athletics Try-athlon Draws Big Numbers In an attempt to increase participation in the MAC Decathlon, the Decathlon committee announced and completed the inaugural Try-Athlon in February. This new event was created for members who saw value in the decathlon, but were reluctant to participate due to having to complete 10 exercises. What will be forever referred to as the MAC Pentathlon Challenge is comprised of completing five of six exercises – the 500-meter row, 3-minute bike, push-ups, vertical leap, 40-yard shuttle and 1-minute jump rope – for points. More than 100 participants registered and competed in four age brackets ranging from age 14 to 55-and-up. The Decathlon Committee awarded medals to each age category to both men and woman. Seven committee teams competed (Basketball, Decathlon, Exercise and Conditioning, Golf, Outdoor Activities Program, Racquetball and Tennis) consisting of up to five participants per team. The Basketball Committee team, arranged and lead by Brian Currier, accounted for 40 participants that made up its own committee team as well as seven additional “subcommittee” teams. With the strength being in the numbers, the basketball committee resoundingly won the Inaugural MAC Pentathlon Committee Cup Challenge. Congratulations to Brian Currier and all the basketball committee/ sub-committee participants.

The MAC Decathlon, now in its 42nd year, enjoys a rich history at the club. This month, we’re running portions of an article from the May 2004 edition of The Winged M that looks at the events history, along with new information about event.

n 1974, when the paint was still drying on MAC’s signature maroon roof, an event was born in the hallowed men’s weight room on the basement level: the MAC Decathlon. Patterned after a similar event at a Boston athletic club, and largely driven by members Jim Holland and Bill Cordano and MAC icon Joe Loprinzi, the nascent competition grew to become – and continues to be – one of MAC’s premiere in-house athletic event. More than 100 competitors are expected to take part in this year’s 30th anniversary decathlon, which is Monday, May 3 through Sunday, May 23. The Ironman and Ironwoman competitions are held on the event’s final two days, and the banquet and awards ceremony caps the event Thursday, June 3.

The ’70s: Brawn, Billiards, Broken Barriers, and the Arrival of Bud Lewis Bill Cordano, along with Nick Munly, has competed in every MAC Decathlon since its inception. Cordano recalls that the MAC Decathlon was rooted in what Burt Reynolds and Bo and Luke Duke made the decade famous for: machismo. Competition in the 1974 decathlon was men only, and featured a cornucopia of “manly” events, such as leg press, bench press, push-ups and pull-ups. There were also two events where performance benefited from a couple Harvey Wallbangers and a filtered Kent: sinking a rack of billiard balls and putting golf balls in the gym.

Individual woman performances saw Lindsay Johnson win the gold in the 14-24 age category. Annie Barry won the gold followed by Jennnifer Galloway taking silver and Rachel Harrison winning bronze in the 25-39 age categories. Andrea Lairson, Terri Cook and Judith Simpson took gold, silver and bronze medals respectively in the 40-54 age categories. Nancie Paxton and Barbara Christenson won the gold and silver in the 55-plus age category. In the individual men’s category, Ryan Moshofsky convincingly won gold in the 14-24 age category, followed by Isaac Hormblas taking silver. Michael Hale just edged out Phillip Barry to win the gold in the 25-39 age category. Ed Lairson took the gold with a solid performance of 4,470 points, followed by Mark Bussey and Daemon Anastas taking silver and bronze. Brett Moshofsky and Irvin Handleman won gold and silver medals in the 55-plus age category. Staff Members Nicholas Trubachik and Dylan Ferrell posted the highest overall point totals of 4,567 and 4,515 respectively. –Mark Bussey WM

April 2015

Continued from page 55 Nearly 100 members suited up for the inaugural event, making it an immediate success. The event remained popular for the next several years, and in 1977, a new member first tried the event he would come to personify. Bud Lewis, retired from the military and Portland Police Department, brought to the decathlon his enormous physical talents and infectious enthusiasm. By the time he stopped competing in the event in the mid-‘90s, Lewis garnered six individual MAC Decathlon titles – all after the age of 68 – obtaining the then-perfect score of 1,000 every time. Lewis also got involved on the administrative side of the event; he has served on every Decathlon Committee since 1979. Lewis credits others for the decathlon’s success. “There are members who don’t quite have the skills and strength to win or rank high on the scoring chart, yet they always participate, thus they fully support the decathlon,” he says. “They are the backbone of the program.” The year 1979 also ushered in a new era of equality for MAC decathletes. Swept out along with the shag carpet and disco balls of late ’70s decadence was the males-only standard. Women began competing in the MAC Decathlon that spring and quickly made their mark, with Debbie Trimble as the first female champion. Hundreds of MAC women have competed in the decathlon and served on its committees during the past 25 years, leaving indelible impressions on the event’s history. An annual award named in her honor fondly remembers Doreen Morris, a longtime participant and decathlon pioneer who competed into her 80s. It’s displayed on the basement level adjacent to the annual prize named after Lewis.

The ’80s, ’90s and now: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” The decathlon has experienced numerous changes during the past 30 years, but none too dramatic. In 1996, the men’s and women’s Decathlon committees merged into one. The scoring system was completely revamped in 1997 to resemble an actual Olympic decathlon (it is no longer possible to attain a perfect score); new events have been added (1,000-meter row, 2,000-meter row, 200-meter swim, 50-meter swim shuttle run, 400-meter run, and long jump); and other events discontinued (leg press, baseball throw, billiards, golf putt, sit ups, and 100-meter swim).

In addition, the decathlon has also spawned two popular spin-off events. In 1990, Greg Neal and Paul Trimble initiated the Ironman decathlon (the Ironwoman began in 1993), a two-day event in which all competitors must compete in the same 10 events; and the annual Team Decathlon, which debuted in 2000. In this increasingly popular event held every November, teams of two battle it out in male, female, and co-ed categories, with each teammate responsible for completing five events. Why the success? Great event, greater people and the greatest training For a decade that produced Pop Rocks, mood rings, the pet rock and two briefly famous and now obsolete islands (Three Mile and Fantasy), it’s heartening to see the enduring quality of the MAC Decathlon. It’s simply an outstanding event run with great participants and volunteers. Each year, MAC staff and members make the decathlon a memorable and enjoyable experience for all. The decathlon also provides unparalleled training benefits for its competitors. Having a goal to work toward is beneficial to keeping people on their exercise programs. The decathlon is ideal; it requires aerobic and anaerobic conditioning and strength training, and at the same time improves agility and sports performance. –J. Riley Lagesen WM

Tips For Boosting Metabolism Even the best diet and exercise plan can get stalled. If you’ve reached a plateau, here are a few ideas to boost your metabolism: 1. Incorporate light weights into your routine two times per week to help burn calories throughout the day. 2. Add a quick burst of exercise or interval training to shake up your metabolism. If you really want a sweat-drenching workout, try an interval training class like Max’d Out. 3. Consider fish oil supplements. They help balance blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and are purported to regulate leptin (satiety hormone). 4. Cut out evening snacks. This increases your chances for a good night’s sleep and helps regulate leptin levels. 5. Enjoy tea time. Green tea increases thermogenesis, which is the body’s process

of creating heat and burning calories. 6. Don’t skip meals. Studies show that eating healthy small snacks or meals every two hours balances blood sugar. Balanced blood sugar prevents insulin spikes, which can cause weight gain. Eating too few calories slows down metabolism since the body, unsure of when it is going to get its next meal, goes into storage mode to conserve energy. 7. Make sure your small snacks/ meals include a healthy protein. Protein takes longer to digest, making you feel fuller and keeping your blood sugar balanced. 8. Avoid processed foods, which are high in sugar and trans

Discover Oregon for the Curious with Author William Sullivan T he godfather of Northwest hiking books, William L. Sullivan, returns to MAC at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, for a slide show and talk, Oregon for the Curious. With photos as his backdrop for the hourlong talk, Sullivan tells stories of geologic and cultural oddities, as well as little-visited sites around the state. Learn about the fascinating history of the Willamette Meteorite, an enormous chunk of iron that hit the Earth near today’s West Linn. Once sacred to Native Americans, the meteorite was removed from Oregon in 1905. Sullivan also tells stories of Tillamook Rock, an island off Cannon Beach that was once part of the continent. It’s the westernmost point of land that Lewis and Clark saw on their expedition of 1804 to 1806, and has been home to an assortment of enterprises over the past two centuries. He discusses Chalk Basin, eroded badlands in Southeast Oregon’s Owyhee River Canyon. Hear about the area’s vulnerability to mining and development, and conservation efforts currently in progress. The slide show was inspired by research Sullivan undertook for his new book of short stories, The Oregon Variations. With one fictional story set in each Oregon county, characters include roller derby queens and coastal fisherman, and settings range from the mystical Oregon Vortex near Medford to the Alvord Desert and Portland’s Eastbank Esplanade.

Kevin Gorman, executive director of the Friends of the Columbia Gorge, will be at MAC at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 7, to present a slide show on the Friends’ Towns to Trails program. Its goal is to connect new and existing trails in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area with gorge towns for an inn-to-inn trail experience. Imagine: a day on the trail ends as you hike into a gorge town and check into your inn. After a rest, you walk out to enjoy local wine or spirits in a tasting room, or explore shops and restaurants in the historic downtowns of Hood River, The Dalles, Stevenson or White Salmon. The next day, the adventure continues as you hike to another inn or town. WM

Athletics Handball

Handball Tradition Continues with Nationals

he latest chapter in MAC’s illustrious handball tradition transpired Feb. 18-22 when the club served as the venue for the 63rd annual United State Handball Association National Collegiate Championships, hosted by nearby Pacific University. The Boxers finished 4th in a field of 31 colleges. Lake Forest College (Ill.) captured the team national championship, followed by Missouri State University and the University of Texas. Individually, Pacific took seven of 10 matches from Lake Forest and seven of 11 from Texas en route to a 33-24 record during the tournament. Four Pacific players captured three individual national championships, bringing the Boxers’ all-time total to 28. Longtime Pacific University head coach and current USHA president Mike Steele, who is retiring from the top spot this year, spearheaded the effort to bring the nation’s best collegiate players to MAC, with ample help from MAC volunteers. It is the fourth time the club has hosted the tournament, joining the 1990, 1994 and 2003 competitions. The 1990 event is believed to be the first national handball championship held at MAC. How that came to fruition is due in Mike Steele large part to MAC members Craig Trull and the late Bob Kenney. In 1989, Steele first approached Trull, who at the time chaired the Handball Committee, about hosting the national championships. A subcommittee led by Kenney and his son, Greg, a collegiate national champion while a student at Lake Forest, soon formed to consider the idea. Steele joined MAC as a coach in 2006 and served for four years before becoming a senior member. “Being a MAC member is one of the top highlights of my life,” Steele said. “It is a stupendous facility, with great people in the handball community, and is a state, regional, national and world leader in the sport.”

April 2015

Members of Pacific University’s championship doubles team, Angel Marquez, foreground, and Ben Schmid, compete at MAC. Indeed, MAC hosted the 2009 world tournament that drew more than 1,000 participants, and current members include 49-time national champion Dr. Ed Grossenbacher and incoming Pacific head coach and MAC member David Steinberg, a 15-year professional player who is the reigning world champion in the 55-plus age group. At the end of the last match during the collegiate tournament, Steele initiated an informal passing of the baton to Steinberg. Steele forged the MAC’s association with Pacific nearly 20 years ago, and since then, Pacific’s best players have gone on to become MAC members as players or coaches, starting with All-American Stephanie Crawford. Others include collegiate national champion and current MAC coach Kristen Bowerly Steele, AllAmerican Aaron Garner, Steve Sharpe, Heather Murbach, Matt Steele, Jeff Kastner, Jean Kasamoto, Sean Steele

and Josh Bateman. Steele believes the arrangement is the only one of its kind in the country. “I hope we can continue the trend,” Steele says. “We have some outstanding young players on the current team with excellent recruits in the pipeline.” Steele, a professor emeritus of English at Pacific, started the university’s handball club nearly 40 years ago and led the Boxers to Division II national championships in 2013 and 2014. He will stay involved with the university’s handball club, and recently established the Michael R. Steele Endowment to support Boxer Handball, an English Literature Scholarship, the university’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, and support for Holocaust library purchases and programs at the university library.

Early Birds

Starting Monday, April 13, the MAC Dance program offers a new class: All Ages Breakdancing (ages 6 to adult) on Sundays from 2:45-3:45 p.m. in Studio Three. Taught by professional breakdancer Cameron Dupon, participants learn footwork, and how to backspin, freeze and groove. This is a great family opportunity. The cost for this nine-week session is $90.90 per participant. Register online at theMAC.com, call the dance office at 503517-7522, or email MNornes@themac.com for prorated mid-session registration or for more information. For little ones ages 4 to 6, MAC Dance offers an Intro to Breakdancing class, held from 11-11:45 a.m. Wednesdays starting April 1 in Studio Three. This class teaches introductory level breakdance and hip hop moves. The cost is $95.30. Register online at theMAC.com

Like most of the Early Birds, many MAC members have household items they no longer need, but which would still be useful to neighbors who are starting from scratch. So the Birds invite all members to “come clean” and donate those lightly used household items to the Community Warehouse. From Monday, April 20 through Sunday, April 26, look for a collection barrel near the Athletic Entrance where members can contribute gently used household items to be recycled to families moving from homelessness or other crises into new homes. Those served include veterans, people with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, those recovering from substance abuse, and lowincome families. The Community Warehouse is especially in need of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, towels, tableware, manual can openers and alarm clocks. Fragile items such as dishes should be carefully packed. Pickup of furniture can be arranged online at

Yoshida Cup Brings Cultures Together The Japan Karate Federation NW hosted the 29th annual Yoshida Cup Tournament at Mt. Hood Community College in March. This year, it was an additional honor to host 60 visitors from Japan. Gensei-ryu Karate-do International Federation sent 50 students and 10 parents to the Metro area to attend seminars taught by illustrious instructors, participate in the tournament, and enjoy American hospitality. Visiting students stayed with families from three of the organization’s dojos, or schools. Families from Hillsboro, Battle Ground, Wash., and MAC opened their homes to two to four students, sharing meals and discussing American culture.

Athletics of skiing, now it’s time to start building from there. In the last article we talked about the importance of equal angles in the ankles (see February 2014). With the ankles now activated and flexing equally, it’s time to move on to flexing the hips toward the tips. It’s important to drive the hips toward the tips to bend the front of the ski, maintain an athletic stance, and be able to move with the skis as they travel through the fall line. These three things will allow us to have greater control, better turn shape, and maintain equal angles in the ankles throughout the shaping phase of the turn.

MAC’s 11-14, left, and the 10-and-under swim teams both had successful swims during the recent state championship meets, with several swimmers reaching the podium. Ten swimmers in the 10-and-under program qualified for the state meet, while 11-14 team finished second in the state and won seven of 20 relays.

Swim Continued from page 69 Swimming Championships in Beaverton in March. MAC swimmers set state records in the 13-14 boys 200 and 400 medley relays. The latter earned the boys a No. 1 ranking in the country as of press time for The Winged M. The quartet of Kevin Keil, Joshua Nguyen, Van Mathis and Doug Heymann shattered the old record by more than 2 seconds. In the

sprint relay, the same four bettered the existing record by half a second. Other winning relay performances included 13-14 boys 200 and 400 free relays. Five swimmers combined on those two teams: Doug Heymann, Van Mathias, Kevin Keil, Joshua Nguyen and Rob Mead. The 11-12 boys came through with a win in the 400 free relay and 200 medley relay. Those athletes were Cody Soo, Jonathan Westlake, Khai Tran and Beau Lonnquist.

On the girls side, the 13-14 girls came through on the last relay of the meet by winning the 400 free. This group included Grace Julian, Elise Kruetzer, Emelia Hush and Ashley Williams. “Winning seven of 20 relays really helped the team pile on points toward the title, but not enough to catch the leader,” said Cyndy von Weller, age group coach. “We just have to keep swimmers motivated and focused,” added pre-senior Coach Gary Leach.

Every year, throughout the month of February, MAC swimmers of all ages and abilities compete in the annual Great Lakes Swim Competition. MAC has competed in the Great Lakes Swim since 2010, against other division 1 clubs across North America. Winning is based on total combined yards swum in the month of February, including yardage completed by open lap swimmers, masters, and all MAC swim teams. MAC swimmers have achieved an impressive record of victories, winning the contest in 2015 and extending the MAC’s record of victory to three years in a row and five times total in the competition’s recent six-year history. To win this year, MAC swimAlex Nikitin mers delivered a total of 8,594,317 yards swum for the month of February. This is a lot of swimming; it’s equal to 4,883 miles! The Great Lakes Swimming Competition creates tremendous visibility and exposure for MAC aquatics programs: lap swimmers, triathletes, masters and competitive junior swimmers all contribute to the total tally. The full spectrum of ages and diversity of skills helps create a new appreciation for swimming as a lifelong skill and fitness activity. “Swimming is a skill for life,” says Alex Nikitin, MAC head swim coach. “If you learn it in your childhood, you can take it into adulthood and mix it with other activities to stay fit. Swimming also makes it easier to continue enjoying being active as you get older and can’t run or do other land-based activities as much as you used to. Swimming remains your faithful training companion throughout your life.” The other side of the Great Lakes challenge is competitiveness. This is what MAC members do best – compete. After all, “A” stands for athletic, and we enter the Great Lakes with the intention to win, not just to participate. So come and join us in any of the club’s three pools to continue building on or to start your swimming experience at MAC. Continued on page 72

Megan Foley – 2 (one Top 5 swim)

MAC Masters swimmers had a successful year locally and regionally in competitions throughout the Northwest. They won the Oregon Associations meet for the third year in a row and broke multiple Oregon and zone records along the way. But now, the team’s success in 2014 is official at the national level. Every year, U.S. Masters Swimming compiles a list of Top 10 swims in the nation, across every distance and every course (in pool language, that means short-course yards, short-course meters and long-course meters). Masters swimmers posted an astounding 40 swims in the Top 10 rankings. Considering most national meets welcome current and former Olympians, it was one of the most successful years yet for the growing Masters swim team. Below are the names and numbers of Top 10 swims for those who accomplished this feat:

Scot Sullivan – 6 (one Top 5 swim)

Can Ergenekan – 2 (one Top 5 swim) Eric Wan – 1 Ted Bonus – 1 (also a Top 5 swim) Part of 2014’s success was earned just before the end of the year in the 11th annual Canby Animal Short Course Yards Meet – aptly named for its grueling program. Swimmers chose to compete in one of three triathlons based on the distances of those swims, where the cumulative racing time determines the winner. Scot Sullivan (45-49 age group) won the Middle Distance Animal series, consisting of the 200 individual medley, 100 butterfly and 500 freestyle. Unique to his accomplishment is beating out a 22-year-old for the title – as it’s the only meet of the year where swimmers compete without age group distinctions. With short-course yards season in full swing, Sullivan and Brent Washburne traveled to Chehalem for swimming action at the end of January. Washburne swam to wins in two events, annihilating the 25-year-old MAC record in the 1,000 freestyle by 22 seconds.

Athletics Sullivan swam to three wins, and beat a 12-year-old MAC record in the 200 free by 0.39 seconds. To top off his meet, Sullivan was a relay member of the zone record-breaking relay that stood for seven years – touching it out by a full 17 seconds. All are welcome to join the masters swim team. Those interested are encouraged to reference the basement-level bulletin board to learn more about practice times, meets and recent happenings. *An edit to last month’s article: Both Ted Bonus and Megan Foley broke MAC records in 2014. Bonus earned four shortcourse meter records while Foley earned two short-course yard records.

Training Options Abound in April The triathlon and running season kicks into high gear in the Northwest in April, and MAC offers opportunities throughout the week to get members race ready. If your swim needs some polishing, join coached workouts at 6:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday in the 50-meter Pool. If weekends are better, try brick workouts on Saturday mornings, with a coached swim in the 50-meter Pool at 9 a.m. followed by a group ride that leaves the Turnaround at 10:45 a.m. A midweek cycling option also is available at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays (6 p.m. starting May 1). These group excursions are a great way to prepare for upcoming events like the Cherry of a Ride on Sunday, April 19 in The Dalles. This organized, supported ride usually brings sunny spinning to those weary of soggy Portland riding. Join the group run with coach Deborah James at 8 a.m. Saturdays to stoke your running fire for the Boston Marathon, which looms later in April. For those more interested in building speed through track workouts, there are great opportunities to prepare for the annual MAC mile coming at the beginning of May. For specific dates and times for both workouts and events, see the Running/ Triathlon board on the Basement level.

Continued from page 73 5:45 p.m. Thursday, May 14, at the Lincoln High School track. The night begins with the Competitive Mile, the fastest of the mile heats. The Open Mile follows, with many more runners of all ages and speeds. The All-Comers Mile is a more recreational race. Last year there were many younger runners, many running with parents. The Kids Dash is a memorable first running event for many MAC families. For children ages 6 and under, this 60-yard scramble makes for a great positive experience on the track. This year marks the first 400-meter Kids Race. Open to boys and girls up to 12 years old, the race showcases some of the rising juniors in the club and gives spectators a good show. The races conclude with the ever-exciting 4x400-meter relay. All of these fun, family friendly events wrap up in about an hour. Following the 4x400 relay, awards are given out for overall male and female winners, as well as age-group winners. All participants in the Kids Dash receive ribbons to mark the accomplishment.
