F uturists say we are in a historical period of drastic change. They say we may experience more change in the next 10 years than any other 10-year period in history. Some predict that by 2029, machines will be able to match the intelligence of humans, and they will be able to make us laugh and cry. That might mean that one day, members could walk into the E&C Room and have a machine analyze their health and direct them to the best exercise machine.

The Wınged M 5 Athletic Excellence process and tools:
The Athletic Excellence subcommittee rolled out the Athletic Excellence Survey this month to create a baseline for an ongoing process to improve the club’s athletics programs. This survey will be done annually going forward and is an opportunity for members to express satisfaction, note successful efforts, offer suggestions for improvement, and help benchmark the ongoing progress of each of the club’s athletic offerings. An outside vendor conducts the survey in order to provide independent analysis for program and staff improvement, and results should be reported to the Athletic Committee by the end of June.
• Increase sport participant satisfaction

• An Athletic Excellence annual report

• Create annual Athletic Excellence Report for the Athletic Committee
MAY 2013 |
Highlights of the Athletic Committee’s response include: Athletic Excellence process goals: Create an objective assessment of MAC Sports programs and sport staff effectiveness
We should all thank the Athletic Excellence subcommittee members, Laura Martin (chair), Steve Brown, Derrick Cameron, Robert Graves, David Horstkotte and Julia Hall for their hard work in developing and implementing this board charge as well as immediate past President Darwin Green for creating and spearheading this board charge.
WM
The Board of Trustees annually develops board charges to address issues critical to the club and assigns them to various committees to complete. Last year, a charge was issued to the Athletic Committee that stated, “Develop and implement an annual plan for sport committees to assess their sport and staff effectiveness with the goal of increasing member satisfaction.”

Please refer to the full Athletic Excellence Survey article on page 65 for more details. All members are encouraged to complete the survey before May 14. The survey is just the beginning as we explore ways to obtain better member feedback to improve programs. The club is planning to conduct more event-driven surveys throughout the year. Fortunately, technology has allowed surveys to be conducted on a more frequent basis with minimal costs. While member satisfaction is high with the club overall, we often hear from members with ideas for athletic program improvements or concerns about a particular sport or athletic activity.
• Oversee and administer Athletic Excellence Survey
None of us can really predict the future and experts are often wrong, but we do know things will continue to change at an accelerating rate, and that the club must adapt to survive. Optimistically, our club will adapt at about the right pace because of the committee system so brilliantly put in place by members years ago. This system encourages hundreds of members to engage the collective genius of a very broad demographic of members.

• Implement a process that is sustain able and resilient to committee and staff turnover Provide an objective assessment tool to MAC leadership in evaluating athletic staff and management

MAY 2013 | The Wınged M | 7 T his is a column I am reluctant to write. In May we celebrate Mother’s Day, although we cannot possibly honor moms for all their hard work in just one day. Motherhood is one of the most difficult jobs anyone can have; parenting can be very rewarding and very difficult, sometimes on the same day. Motherhood can be underrated, overrated, hit-and-miss, loving, frustrating, overstated and satisfying. This Mother’s Day is Valerie’s and my last together with our twins around. Next year at this time they will be in the middle of college finals, playing spring football and physically detached from our home. We are not looking forward to backing off as Mom and Dad; after all, this is all we have known for the last 20 years and the majority of our married lives. Parenting is a profession, one which we are never well enough trained for, nor willing to retire from in so many ways.

In April I experienced one of my best days at the club. As I made my rounds, it took me an extra hour to exit the building. I did not mind any one of those 60 extra minutes, as I had the opportunity to visit with members and friends, and with my daughter, who volunteers coaching volleyball at the club. Making rounds is enlightening, as I’m sometimes challenged by questions about the club. Much of it was important; some of it was about my family and their well-being, and I had a great deal of discussion with friends I have been honored to meet over the past six years of being your Speakingmanager.ofspending precious time with a member, I love spending time with Bud Lewis. On national signing day, I had the opportunity to have dinner with Bud, my family, and other athletes and families who signed their letters of intent. I have gotten to know Bud over the past few years and admire him as a gentleman’s gentleman. Bud is a gentle giant in the athletic world, with many records still unbroken in MAC’s decathlon. Bud’s love for people, and his determination to stay mentally and physically fit, is an asset from which many of us can learn. Recently, Bud lost his wife, the love of his life for 67 years. Bud’s life is so diverse; he is a member’s member who loves everything about his club and all it represents. Some of his lost love was replaced when fellow members returned their love to Bud. Happy Mother’s Day, Janet; we miss you! a negative to a positive Several years ago, I shared with you a story about Linda Fisher (the muffin lady), whom I admired for her ability to turn a negative into something positive. I recently ran into another story worthy of sharing. Billy Ray Harris was a homeless man living on the streets of Kansas City and begging for money to sustain his needs. A woman named Sarah Darling mistakenly dropped her engagement ring in his cup while making a contribution. Rather than cashing in on the engagement ring, Billy Ray held on to the ring. Sarah returned the next day to see if Billy Ray had found the ring. He gladly returned it, and was given a reward of all the money Sarah and her husband Bill had with them at the time, around $50. Bill and Sarah returned home and set up a fundraising effort for Billy Ray, which to date has raised $183,000 on a goal of $1,000; more than 8,000 people have contributed to the fund. Billy Ray has been handsomely rewarded for his good deed!As we approach Mother’s Day, I encourage everyone to do a good deed for their mothers or someone else that is meaningful and loving, and shows your commitment for doing the right thing! The world can be a better place by acts of kindness, goodness and loving support.

Happy Mother’s Day moms, thanks for all you do! I thank my wife Valerie for being a great mother.
Lastly, the Athletic Excellence Committee is conducting surveys among the different athletic communities to determine what can be done to ensure that programs are well-run and at their best.

While not the “mother of all surveys,” the athletic excellence sub-committee of the Athletic Committee is conducting an extensive survey in May, and wants your opinion. Look for more information on page 65, and in MACtivities and other group emails, as your participation and information in the survey is important. It also allows you to provide answers for more than one sport, so you do not need to feel limited to just one program or averaging all of them out when completing the survey. I hope you will take the time to participate in this process to continue improving our sport programs.

The goal is to change driver behavior. Fines are cumulative for all infractions on a member account in a calendar year regardless of the vehicle or driver.
Violation of the following key rules will result in a $50 fine for the first offense:
Accidents and near-misses are too common in the garage as drivers disregard the speed limit, stop signs and pedestrian walkways. The Board of Trustees approved House Committee recommendations for stiffer penalties to make the garage safer for drivers and pedestrians, especially children and the elderly. The increased fines are meant to grab the attention of members who are not deterred by the current system of warnings and fines that top out at $40. The House Committee’s goal is to change driver behavior.
Fines apply to moving violations such as driving above the posted speed limit and failing to heed stop signs, or for leaving the club premises while parked in the garage.
Fines are cumulative for all infractions on a member account in a calendar year regardless of the vehicle or driver. For example, if a member receives a warning for parking over the lines and her spouse is cited for speeding within the same year, the fine is $100 because it is the second violation posted to the account.

Pat was a Trust Officer at U.S. National Bank for 27 years until he retired in 1986. He had a wonderful tenor voice and loved to sing in the church and bank choirs. Pat was an active member of MAC. He was a member of the Balladeers and enjoyed play ing water volleyball with the Polar Bears. He enjoyed dancing, playing golf, sporting events and traveling. Pat was most passionate about his family. He loved family gatherings and spend ing time with his seven children: Susan McDonald (Kevin); Sandra Akerill; Sharon Kraushaar (Richard); John Craven, III (Aimee); Sheila Hammon (Jim); Kathleen O’Donnell (Joe); Marianne Eichler (Fred), and sixteen grandchildren. Pat was an active member of Holy Family Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contribu tions can be made to Holy Family Catholic Church.Senior family member Mary Glade Siemer Farnham, mother, grandmother, wife, artist, designer, merrymaker, developer, jazz lover, avid reader, endurance swimmer, international traveler, British racing green enthusiast and protector of all things small and humble, moved into the eternal dimen sion on Dec. 9, 2012. She was 88.

Later, she parlayed her design instincts into successful property develop ment and a high couture line. She was a MAC member since October 1957. She was a daily swimmer and was married to Neil Farnham. Mary loved to entertain with whimsy and panache, gave generously of her time, energy and humor, looked out for underdogs and cats, and left many family, extended family and friends in and about the Northwest Portland community she calledShehome.issurvived by a daughter, Gwen; and sons, Evan (Jorjan), Will (Julie) and Hugh, all of Portland; and a son, Thomas (Lorena) of Los Angeles; grandchildren, Harry, Barry, Joel, Tanner and Natalie, all of Portland, and Maya and Neil of Los Angeles; and nephews, Alan and Geoffrey of California.Seniorpreferred member Steve Dimitri Gann passed away at Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital Friday morning, Feb. 15, after suffering a stroke. Steve was born April 17, 1927, in Portland, to Jim and Anna Gann. Both of his parents were Greek immigrants and only spoke Greek with Steve at home. He learned English as a second language while playing with his friends. He attended Benson High School and the University of Oregon, graduating in 1949 with a B.S. degree in business admin istration with a minor in foreign trade. He was on the rally squad and also in ROTC. In his senior year at Oregon he enlisted in the Army; served in the 2nd Infantry Division and stayed in the reserves. He was called back during the Korean conflict and served another two years. During this time Steve accumulated enough through the G.I. Bill to enroll at Northwestern College of Law night school. He earned a Juris doctor in law and became a member of the Oregon State Bar in 1956. While he was attending law school at night, Steve decided to open his own print ing business – Gann Publishing Company.
Printing took up so much of Steve’s time that he rarely practiced law. Steve was one of the last traditional printers from his era. The industry is radically different now than when he used to hand-feed a printing press while working in his father’s shop. While attending Benson Steve took a class on operating a Linotype line-casting machine. He was dismayed when he discov ered that he knew more than the instruc tor who asked him to help teach the class.
Steve hired several students from Benson through the years. In 2005 Steve was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award from the Portland Graphic Arts Association in recognition of the contributions he made to the local printing industry. He proudly dis played the award in the office for all to see. There was rarely a day that Steve did not go in to work, including the last week of his life. The presses have stopped for Steve but his sons will continue the family business as third-generation printing craftsmen.
Even though Steve graduated from Oregon, his wife Christine graduated from Oregon State College (OSU), and he did not object that his three sons Steven, Christopher and Michael all graduated from OSU. Steve would occasionally attend an OSU football game (wearing Duck attire) and would always let everyone know where he attended school.
Steve married Christine Haleston in October 1954. Christine passed away in May of 2011. He is survived by his three sons, Steven (Rayelle), Christopher, and Michael (Susan), grandchildren Jesse (Leanne), Steven, Michelle, Rhiana, and Nicole, and great-granddaughter Ava. The family suggests donations in Steve’s name to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund or the Good Samaritan Foundation.Nonresident member Lawrence W. “Larry” Harris Jr., prominent businessman and civic leader in Portland in the 1940s

He graduated from the University of Minnesota (B.A. in Political Science), attended Georgetown Law School, and graduated from the University of North Dakota Law School. Pat joined the U.S. Army in 1953 and was stationed in Augusta, Ga. He married Nancy R. Bratton in 1958, and they lived together in Grand Forks, N.D. before relo cating to Portland in 1959.
Steve did considerable volunteer work for various agencies including The Oregon Food Bank, Multnomah County Mental Health Advisory Board (chair), Cystic Fibrosis Association, Heart Association and Youth Progress Association. He was a member of the Royal Rosarians, the Greek Civic Club, East Portland Rotary, the Masonic Order, Scottish Rite, Shriners, the Multnomah Athletic Club, and helped found the Blue Back Submarine Council of the Navy League of the United States.

In the years before World War II, Larry traveled all over the Northwest, selling bags to potato farmers in Rexburg, Idaho, seed growers in Forest Grove, flour millers in Pendleton and hop growers in Amity. He served in the U.S. Army in World War II in the Transportation Corps. In 1939, he married the former Jane Beebe and they were among the first parishioners of St. Thomas More. They were active climbers and hikers and spent, with their family, much time on the north side of Mount Hood as members of the Snowshoe Club.

His ties to Stanford University were strong and he was the sixth recipient of its Golden Spike Award in 1970. He had a great effect on careers of friends, as mentor, and of his children as a strong and thoughtful father.

John Vincent Krippaehne, DMD, died Feb. 25. He was 84.John was born in Puyallup, Wash. on Sept. 17, 1928 to Violet Marie and William August Krippaehne, and reared in a devout Catholic household. He had five older siblings: Mary, William, Charles, Helen and Fred.
John’s mother died when he was 4 years old, hence his siblings all had a very large role in his upbringing, and he remained very close to them during his life. He had a very special relationship with his oldest brother Bill, and they shared in many expe riences including holidays, fishing, firewood cutting, investments and vacation homes side by side on Devil’s Lake. He graduated from Puyallup High School in 1946 and enrolled in the University of Washington. While there, he participated in the Navy ROTC program to help pay for school expenses. In June 1951, he graduated with a pharmaceutical degree, received his Navy commission and married MariAnn Johnson. They moved to Coronado Island, the homeport for the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Valley Forge.
John served for two years as Lt. j.g. attached to the Valley Forge and saw duty during the Korean War. While he may have left the Navy, the Navy never left him. He remained a naval enthusiast for the rest of his life, maintaining a 60-year membership of the Navy League, attending a 50-year ceremony at the Naval College, and a 20

She is survived by Phyllis, her mother; Steven, her brother; and her three children, Stuart, Alex and Veronica.
Towner’s outlook on life was one of unbounded enthusiasm. He regaled his children with stories from his youth with his Riverdale School friends (who remained close) to boarding school on Vancouver Island, B.C. (Brentwood College,) a short stint in the Army, and then a brief stint at Claremont Men’s College. Towner returned to Portland where he married Elizabeth Cronin and together they raised seven children. Weekends for Towner were spent in the outdoors, hiking or taking pack trips into the Three Sisters Wilderness area, climbing mountains or kayaking down rivers. In the mid 1960s, Towner happened upon property near Tumalo with a spectacular view of the Three Sisters and Mount Bachelor. The Quail Farm became the Menefee family’s refuge from Portland. Winter weekends and summers, the Quail Farm was a hub of activity as friends gravitated to the Tumalo area with their own families. Throughout those years, while raising an active family, Towner gave his children the gift of unconditional love and his passion for the outdoors. His children remember him as a kind, thoughtful and humble man, with an irreverent sense of humor. Towner had a love for the John Day River area. In 1970, Towner and a group of friends purchased Twickenham LLC. The ranch was two miles up from the Twickenham Bridge. Strong bonds were forged through the adventures spent with family and friends exploring this area. In addition, many deep friendships were formed with the ranchers and farmers from the Twickenham Valley. This was one of Towner’s favorite places, and throughout his life he visited often. Towner was a magnet for his children’s cronies, and after his divorce he was also a magnet for Nancy James Zeppa, whom he considered the love of his life. Nancy readily embraced Towner, his gaggle of children and grandchil dren, as well as his joy of life and adventur ous spirit. Towner found in Nancy a soul mate and traveling companion. Nancy’s love and devotion was never more evident than in the last few years as she selflessly and com passionately cared for Towner as his health declined.Inthe 1960s, Towner was a board member of the Catlin Gabel School and one of the founding trustees of the NW Outward Bound School. He was also a member of the Skyline Trail Riders and the Pinafore Investment Group. Over the years, his volunteer involvement also included the Juvenile Diversion program in both Port Townsend and Vancouver, Wash. and the Portland Providence Hospice Bereavement program. Towner was an active member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, where he served on the endowment committee and as an usher.Towner is survived by his wife, Nancy James Menefee; seven children, Sally Moore of Portland, Caroline Sheahan of in

She grew up surrounded by love from her two parents, whom she loved dearly. Growing up, she spent many summers in Holdrege, Neb. with family and friends. She graduated from Lincoln High School and attended Oregon State University. After college, she met Jeff Lindquist, whom she married. Together they had three children. In 1994, Shannon was lucky enough to be able to quit her compliance job at Bank of America and raise her chil dren for the next eight years. These years would become her most cherished. Being a mother was her “pure pride and joy.” She gave her children everything she knew and had and they will forever be her living legacy.

Upon his discharge, they moved to Portland where John was offered the super visor position at Braley’s Pharmacy in the Medical Arts Building. In 1956, he enrolled at the University of Oregon dental school, during which he maintained his pharmacist duties and became a charter member of the St. Elizabeth Church congregation. After graduating from dental school in 1959, he assumed the dental practice of Dr. Leo Boyer in the Morgan Building, and shortly thereafter moved into the Portland Medical Center. In 1960, his first son, John Vincent was born and in 1962, James Arthur was born. In 1975, MariAnn died after a threeyear battle against breast cancer. On March 5, 1977, he married Frances Kent Wise, mother of four children, Liz, ZA, Kent and Amy Wise. In their 36 years of marriage, John and Frannie traveled to numerous places including Dubai, Europe, China, Hawaii and Cabo San Lucas. They enjoyed entertaining, playing cards with friends, gar dening, their beach house and hosting holi days with their children and grandchildren. In 1990, John’s son, Jim, joined him in his dental practice and moved into the KOIN Building. Professionally, John was a member of the honors fraternity OKU. He was also elected by his peers into the American College of Dentist and International College of Dentists. He served on many levels of the Multnomah Dental Society and Oregon Dental Association. In 2000, John retired from dentistry and enjoyed life immensely, including further travel, fishing trips, daily exercise at MAC, friendships, entertaining, building a new home on Devil’s Lake, watching his chil dren raise their families and going to the office every Wednesday for lunch with his dental buddies.

Life member Dorothy M. Shull died March 1, Senior2013.member Robert Bayard Textor, anthropologist and futurist, died peacefully of natural causes at his home in Portland, on the morning of Jan. 3. He was 89. Born at home in the middle of a snowstorm on March 13, 1923 in Cloquet, Minn. to Clinton and Lillian (née Nickles) Textor, he received a public school education until his family relocated to Easton, Pa. in 1937. He transferred to Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J., where he was a day student and later valedictorian of the class of 1940. His valedictory address was passionately isolationist, a view he critiqued six decades later during a commemorative speech given at Blair at his 60thRobertreunion.attended Antioch College for two years before enlisting in the Army in 1942. After scoring well on the language aptitude exams, he was enrolled in the Army Japanese Language School and he spent the remainder of the war studying Japanese in Ann Arbor, Mich., graduating with his B.A. in 1945. He immediately sought a post with the occupational administration of Japan, and eventually became second in command of education for the whole of Wakayama Prefecture in 1947-48. He keenly observed the consequences of the second World War and its aftermath on Japanese society, as well as the American postwar occupa tion. His first book, Failure in Japan: With Keystones for a Positive Policy (1951) assessed the state of the U.S. occupation and was listed as an Outstanding Book of 1951 by the New York Times. Inspired by his time in Japan to devote his career to cross-cultural understanding, in the early 1950s Robert entered the Ph.D program in Anthropology at Cornell, where he studied under Lauriston Sharp. He was one of the original members of the Cornell Thailand Project, focused primarily on the study of Bang Chan, then Continued on

Home of t H e prestigious o regon Coast i nvitational t ournament a village in the Min Buri district close to Bangkok. During his fieldwork in Thailand he was ordained as a Buddhist monk, the first American to ever undergo this process.
After returning to the United States in 1958, Robert received his Ph.D. in 1960 and took a post-doctoral research associate position at Yale, followed by a research fellowship at Harvard. During the latter period, he played a key role in the establishment of the Peace Corps in Thailand, and was hired in 196162 to train the first group of volunteers for Thailand. In 1964, Textor accepted a joint position in Anthropology and Education at Stanford University, later moving full-time to Anthropology in 1986. During his quarter-century at Stanford, he founded the Council on Anthropology and Education of the American Anthropological Association in part to bridge the gap between the two disciplines. After taking early retirement from Stanford in 1990, Robert moved to Portland, where he soon began consulting for Motorola, among other companies. He established the Textor Family Prize for Excellence in Anticipatory Anthropology through the American Anthropological Association in 1998. His latter-day publications included edited and introduced volume The World Ahead, on Margaret Mead’s Writing (2005), a slate of publications related to the 20th anniversary of his Austria research (2006 and 2007), as well as several publications on the Peace Corps. In 1997, Robert and several friends began meeting regularly at a local Portland pub to talk about current events and other issues of the day. These meetings evolved into a salon of sorts. Participants, who came to be known as Thirsters, met on Thursdays to discuss culture and politics, their conversations often supplemented by talks on various topics by experts in their fields.The Thirsters were Robert’s intellectual and social community for over 15 years, and gradually gained political significance. By the mid-2000s, many Democratic candidates running for statewide office would make Thursday night appearances. The day he died, he was excited that Afghan anthropologist and Portland State University professor emeritus Zaher Wahab, his former graduate student, was scheduled to speak. He is survived by his children, Alex Robertson Textor of London, United Kingdom and Marisa Robertson-Textor of Brooklyn, New York.
MAC Golf Much like several other sports within the confines of Multnomah Athletic Club, MAC’s Golf Committee established the MAC Golf Club. While many golfers think that the only benefit of this “club within the club” is the GHIN handicap system, members actually receive much more with their membership. Yes, as a member you do get your handicap computed in accordance with the rules as established by the USGA and overseen by the Oregon Golf Association (OGA). The MAC Golf Committee is responsible for the upkeep and updating of the computer system located in the Exercise and Conditioning Room, and is administered by Kellie Halkinrude in the Outdoor Activities Department. But, each of our members is also a member of the OGA, is a member of the Pacific Northwest Golf hole No. 10 par 5, 543 yards
2. Gearhart Golf Links hole No. 5 par 4, 372 yards Hole No. 18 gets a lot of attention, but No. 5 is the toughest hole on the course. The dogleg left par 4 includes a perfectly placed water hazard and twisting fairway. A mishit tee shot leaves a difficult approach to the small green.
The back nine of Brasada Canyons begins with a hard dogleg right par 5.
From an elevated tee the aggressive line is over two fairway bunkers nestled into the canyon wall at right. Try not to let the legendary Cascade mountain views distract you.
Does your USGA Handicap Index reflect how you play? Your USGA Handicap Index is based on your potential ability, not your scor ing average. Most golfer’s will only play to their Handicap Index about 20–25 percent of the time. If your ‘friend’ is consistently playing to their Handicap Index, it would suggest an investigation into their score posting habits. If your USGA Handicap Index goes down, be proud! You’re improving!

As the weather improves and the golf season swings into gear, MAC is highlighting some of the best holes from some of the best courses in the area in the second MAC Golf Fantasy Course. Try your hand at each hole this summer, but you might have to pick your own par 5 to replace the 18th hole – it only exists in photos.
3. Astoria Golf & Country Club hole No. 3 par 4, 373 yards
4. Running Y Ranch hole No. 16 par 4, 446 yards When Arnold Palmer was asked to name his favorite courses worldwide, he chose 16 of them, including this course at Running Y Ranch. A narrow, downhill fairway carved into a Ponderosa pine forest leads the way to a tricky green guarded by a large bunker and steep slopes.

The most unique hole in the Pacific Northwest. A straight-away par 4 paralleled by 50 foot high ancient sand dunes. The 15 foot wide fairway is a must hit if you’re looking for a par. Keep the ball below the hole for a good score.

7. Awbrey Glen hole No. 13 par 3, 165 yards Awbrey Glen’s signature hole is bordered on the right by a large rock band, part of which overlooks the green, which is also hemmed in by two bunkers.

Member for a day – These arrangements are available with an assortment of private golf courses. These are typically nine-hole affairs with the MAC member able to enjoy the course in question and ask appropriate questions about membership availability.

Tiger Woods defeated Steve Scott in the 1996 U.S. Amateur Championship in a sudden death playoff at this hole.
8. Astoria Golf & Country Club hole No. 10 par 3, 117 yards Measuring at a mere 117 yards, no. 10 is the shortest hole on the course. This little devil sits atop the ancient sand dunes where the wind determines whether it is a pitching wedge or a 5 iron.
6. pumpkin Ridge Witch Hollow Course hole No. 10 par 3, 194 yards Hole no. 10 is a tough par 3 as much for its length as anything, but the tees were kept low and the bunker caps high just to make it more difficult to feel the shot.
Spring Golf – Begins on Saturdays in April and lasts for five weeks. Tee times are booked in advance at an assortment of courses throughout the Portland area. Golf is available to all MAC members and their guests, and May outings include Stone Creek on May 5 and OGA on May 19. Annual Scramble – Takes place this year at Rock Creek Country Club; for the first time teams of mixed gender are established, along with male and female teams. Reciprocal Golf/discount Golf – There is currently a true reciprocal arrangement with Awbrey Glen in Bend, and MAC golfers get special considerations and rates from The Reserve Vineyards, Gearhart Golf Links and Sunset Golf Center. The committee and club are working on establishing more affiliations with golf clubs outside of the Portland area.

On Rock Creek’s signature hole, tee shots have to carry a pond that guards the front and right of the green, and a bunker in the back left.
Hole No. 17 plays downhill to a long but narrow green with three large sand bunkers in the back and a large, deep St. Andrews type crater in the front right.
Anative of Longview, Wash., new golf member coach Robyn Lorain attended Idaho State University on a golf scholarship. Lorain spent 10 years working as an assistant golf professional at Meridian Valley Country Club in Kent, Wash. In 2005, she earned her PGA membership. Two years later, she became a volunteer, coach and mentor for The First Tee of Greater Seattle. She was inspired by the young people involved in The First Tee, and after nearly five years with the program in Seattle, Lorain elected to pursue a career with the nonprofit youth development organization by accepting the position of Executive Director for The Children’s Course and The First Tee of Greater Portland in November 2011.

The fairway bunkers on the left side of this slightly doglegged par 4 make it even longer than its considerable yardage if a golfer gets greedy with an attempt to cut the corner.
The tees are 30 feet above a green carved into a natural plateau on the other side of a large wash. A deep bunker protects the right while two approach bunkers left make the wide approach seem small. Use a kick slope on the left side of the green to feed tee shots to a back-right pin placement.
The greenside bunker can be an exciting or intimidating place to find your golf ball, depending how you look at it. To get out of the hazard, you are not even required to touch the golf ball. The sand will simply carry your ball out. The key to blasting the sand (and as a result, your ball) out of the bunker is to finish high with your follow through to maximize the loft on the clubface.

Don’t let the majestic views of Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood distract you. While you may not feel any wind on the tee box, the preferred shot is a flat trajectory as there is always wind up high on this shot.

15. Stone Creek hole No. 3 par 4, 396 yards This is a dogleg left, short par 4. Your drive over the ridge to a semi-blind landing area sets up a short iron second shot to a green, guarded on the front left by a deep bunker. Don’t go too long or you’ll fall away sharply into heavy rough.
16. Brasada Canyons hole No. 18 par 5, 584 yards Brasada Canyons finishes with an exciting downhill par 5 through a canyon. The fairway is found at the bottom of this canyon between the native grasses and sagebrush that define the bold contours of the canyon walls.
18. MAC Golf hole No. 1 par 5, 500 yards OK, the MAC golf course was paved over many decades ago, but club Archivist George Vogt recently stumbled upon a map of the old links, so we thought we’d offer the former course’s longest hole, 500 yards, par 5. The only sign left of the former course is a street name: Southwest Fairway Drive in Raleigh Hills.

MAY 2013 | The Wınged M | 43
Monday, June 10, 9-10:30 a.m. It’s time for members to maximize their Social Security income! Even though 75% of Americans said they felt confident in their knowledge of Social Security, actually less than 30% understood their benefits and the strategies to maximize their Social Security income. Social Security is part of the retire ment plan of almost every American worker. However, many mistakes are made when choosing how and when to take the income benefit. Wrong decisions may result in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars. This pre sentation, by Diana Platika of Social Security Associates, allows members to learn: 1) the most common mistakes people make when applying for Social Security benefits; 2) when to apply for Social Security benefits; 3) how to maximize spousal benefits; 4) why under standing survivor benefits is critical; and 5) where to find answers to questions.

T he Balladeers reflect MAC itself – a dedicated group of individuals united in a commitment to the club’s mission through pursuit of an activity. During its history of 70-plus years, more than 400 singers have shared the enjoyment of music, performing regularly in the club and in the community. It is a pleasure to welcome Eric Wilson and Larry McKinney as new tenors. The Balladeers wish them many cheerful hours, good company and happy melodies with the group. In the same period as these two singers were welcomed, there was the passing of a long-time singer. Pat Craven, a Balladeer of fifteen years with an extraordinary tenor voice, was a beloved family man, a respected member of the business community, and a Balladeer chair. After Pat’s funeral mass, his wife, Nancy, spoke to several of the Balladeers who were in attendance. “The Balladeers,” she said, “meant so very much to Pat. He loved the music and the camaraderie and, especially in the last few years, the support offered by many of the men. And in tribute to this he will be buried wearing his Balladeer uniform – blazer, Winged-M emblem, MAC tie.”

The May read is Tenth of December, featuring short stories from the pen of George Saunders. In the genre of dystopian fiction, this is “one of the most accomplished books of short fiction you will ever read” (Michael Magras 2/8/13.) On that note, Saunders captures fragmented rhythms and wildly absurd realities of the 21st century experience like no other writer. Samples of his stories include Victory Lap, The Simpatica Girl Diaries and Home as well as the title story, Tenth of December.

LIVING IT UP
he season got off to a beautiful start on Saturday, March 9, as around two dozen MAC members and guests rolled out of the Turnaround at 9:15 a.m. and set out through the streets of Portland, heading east on the Springwater Corridor Trail. People were bewildered and amused at the bright object in the sky. The next Saturday ride, on May 11, ven tures west to Forest Grove and Hagg Lake. This ride begins at McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove and goes out to and around Hagg Lake. The roads are pretty flat out to the lake, then it’s an undulating 11-mile loop with some rolling hills around the lake before returning to the starting point. The 36-mile route includes the 11-mile loop around the lake and returns to Forest Grove. A 20-mile route goes to the lake, turns around at the country store, and returns to the lodge. Relax afterward with refreshments and food at the lodge. Meet at 9 a.m. at McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. The ride leaves promptly at 9:15 a.m. All riders are required to wear hel mets, and prior to the ride must sign waiv ers. It is also recommended to bring water and have a flat-repair kit. Participants under 18 must be with a parent/guardian or have a pre-signed waiver.
Saturday, May 18 is Reach the Beach, the annual century bike ride from Portland to Pacific City, a fundraiser for the American Lung Association. There are a number of MAC riders doing this ride.

Marcus Raichle, M.D. Radiology, Neurology, Neurobiology and Biomedical Engineering, Washington University, St. Louis
Larry Sherman, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, OHSU Brain Institute, Portland Partners:
Mysteries of the Mind – What are we learning about the hidden secrets of the brain? For the past 50+ years, neuroscience research has attempted to reveal the power and potential of the brain. Now, brain science has evolved to look deeply into the brain—and find answers. Who are we? Why do we do odd things sometimes? Can we stimulate specific places in the brain to fight disease? New approaches and the latest technologies are helping us understand the origins of intuition, the benefits of social networks, and the best ways to address conditions such as movement disorders and depression. Join us and discover how probing into the brain’s intricacies turns novel ideas into better lives.
For Kate Besse, 52, a newcomer to triathlon, this was just another challenge to put on her bucket list. Kate claims to be no runner, yet she is a legend in swimming the English Channel and has a long history of endurance. She swam an impressive 500 meters in this short event. Patrick Wheary, 70, not only won his age group, but won the award for best smile for all events! His contagious smile enlivened everyone around him. Bruce Hecht, 55, was excited because he won his age group, even when the officials took his buoy and paddles away at the swim. Steven Wilker and Jeff Grubb won their age groups. In the sprint contest, overall winner Scott Stevenson, 29, busted out a total time of 31:15 with an impressive time of 2:42 on his 200-meter swim. After his finish, Stevenson went right to work to do the final scoring spreadsheet for both events. Overall female winner, Anna Weiss, 39, clocked an impressive time of 35:15. Jill Josselyn, 60, returned this year to win her age group and run her third fastest time. Marc Mueller and his son, Patrick, 11, returned again this year to the sprint. Marc was second in his age group, but this year he waited at the transitions for his son and went on to do his own effort. Patrick won his age group! Judy O. Rompa, 49, won her age group and posted the 2nd fastest time. Eric Helser, race director, said of the events, “Things ran so smoothly this year now that we got some of the wrinkles out, and the volunteers were terrific. We had people coming from the committee and MACorps. If it wasn’t for their help, we would not be able to have such a successful turnout.”There’s something for everyone in the triathlon and we encourage every age to come out and join the fun.

In the 10-10-10 event, Nick Wood, 24, claimed the overall win as his swim of 700 meters and his run were his strong events. Catherine Rogers, 50, won female overall as her bike and run were her strengths.
M arch marked the annual Indoor Sprint and 10-10-10 Challenge events. Considering it was the day following daylight-savings time, there was a good group of athletes present for the challenge. It’s not all about winning or being the fastest or strongest, it’s about having fun and achieving personal gain. The two events are unique in their own way, and there is no transition time included between each sport. The sprint is a 200-meter swim, a 10-mile bike on the stationary cycle, and a two-mile run on the indoor track. The 10-10-10 is how much a person can do in 10 minutes for each sport.

MAC houses a wall used for sport or speed climbing, which is much different than the mental challenges and physical moves needed to compete in bouldering. The team won’t have that problem next year, as the club prepares to build a bouldering wall in the Green Gym over the summer. For a full story about the climbing team’s trip to Nationals, visit the In the News section of theMAC.com. Below, Walker shares his experience. Climbing into the top 10 When I step into the climbing gym, everything else goes away. Assignments for school, social stress, it all goes away; climbing is all I think about. Climbing is my passion. Five years ago when I was offered the chance to climb competitively, I thought it would be a great way to improve my skills. Now I’m competing with the top competitors in the nation.
Climbing at the national level really puts a new perspective on the sport. You may be the best in your category for the region, but when it comes to the nation, you can be dead last. It really brings you down to Earth, and reminds you that you’re not the best. After the first day of climbing, I placed well enough to move on to semifinals. When another competitor broke his foot, a spot opened up for me to move onto finals. It was really a blessing to compete against the top climbers in the nation and be able the represent Multnomah Athletic Club.

MAC’s young climbing team doesn’t yet have its own bouldering wall, but that didn’t stop climber Brett Walker and his teammates from powering to success at Nationals N o bouldering wall? No problem. MAC’s competitive climbing team may not have had an ideal spot to practice, but that didn’t stop them from sending a half-dozen young climbers to nationals, with one of them, junior member Brett Walker (pictured), reaching the finals and bringing home a 10th place medal.
ATHLETICS
Walker was joined at the national tournament in Colorado Springs in March by team mates Olivia Durant, who finished 25th despite climbing with a torn ligament, Geoffrey Engel (25th), Carson Fritz (33rd), Ryan Patridge (13th) and Elana von der Heyden (16th). Patridge and von der Heyden also made semifinals.
“Our kids did really well handling the pressure,” said Head Climbing Coach Drew White. “The biggest area in which they struggled was the terrain... we just can’t re-create the same problems on our wall.”
The nationals scene is like no other. Everyone is there because they deserve it. Each competitor is climbing their best and is very serious about the competition. There are two sides to it; although everyone is serious, there is a sense of fun. The competitors are having fun while also trying their best. Climbing is a very friendly sport on its own, so when you put the best climbers in the nation in one place, everybody gets along. There is a general consensus that everyone deserves to be there for one reason or another. Through all my ups and downs in climbing, the team and staff have always been there. MAC has always had a great influence on me as a person. The adult support from the coaches, and the great supporting family of the team – it all is a great net to fall back upon. – Brett Walker WM

Even after finding a publisher, a question remained: how far would people walk to explore urban architecture, geology, heritage trees and eclectic neighborhoods? To attract a wide audience, many of the book’s routes covered less than four miles. In the decade since the first book was published, walking has been studied and revealed to be great medicine for the heart, brain, bones and mood. There are more of walkers out there, walking longer distances. As a result, this year’s revised edition of Portland Hill Walks includes five new, longer routes, some up to eight miles. Join MAC walkers and hikers and explore two of the book’s new walks and one favorite route from the first edition. All start at MAC. Each has every element of a perfect urban exploration: natural areas, beautiful residential streets, restaurants and shops, big views, and, of course, hidden staircases. All that with no long drive to the gorge or the mountain.

MAC is a national treasure for the handball world (and let’s not forget our racquetball brothers and sisters, as they have made MAC an irreplaceable venue for this other great court sport, especially in advancing the juniors playing racquetball).

There is literally no other place in this country that offers as much as it does and is as central to promoting and showcasing these great court sports. By all means, MAC handballers wel come other MAC members to take pride in the many accomplishments that strong club support has enabled over the years. Also, be sure to come by the courts and give this great game a try.
MAC has hosted numerous prestigious handball events, most recently the 2012 National Masters Singles, the 2009 World Tournament (with 1,000 players, the largest assembly of handball players ever in North America), the 2004 National FourWall Tournament, professional events, and three National Collegiate Tournaments – in 1990, 1994 and 2003. To be able to host so many world and national events, MAC has to have a dedi cated, knowledgeable and competent core group of volunteers. To sustain the 2009 World Tournament, for example, no fewer than 22 subcommittees worked for several years to make the tournament the best on record. This tournament set a new standard for quality thatmight never be surpassed.
Roberts tells me that MAC is, simply, the best venue in the country for the game of handball. Perhaps those of us who primarily play on-site more or less take it for granted, but we shouldn’t. The handball courts are fast, true, well-maintained, and present excellent viewing for spectators. The show case court at the west end of MAC offers one of the best venues for webcasting or videotaping the game in all its complexity andButbeauty.asMAC members know, there’s more to it than just the game being played.

MAC is more than merely a place – in my view, it can be a life-changing place, given all of the excellent programs and events that it hosts. For MAC’s committed handball players, a key aspect of that value-added dimension is the sheer quality of the playing community here. There are numerous world, national, regional and state champions here, of all skill levels and age groups.

S I am the Junior Member Coach, I thought this month I would discuss some of the exciting events, opportunities, and achievements surrounding the Junior Squash Program at the MAC.
Each Sunday from September through May, excluding holidays, there is a free Sunday clinic from 11 a.m.-noon that supports squash players at any level, including beginners who have never picked up a racquet. I have been so fortunate to have some of our elite juniors assist in peer mentoring with this clinic: Spencer Burt, Atticus Jones, Matthew Bernstein, Malcolm Daigle and Caleb Spiro. On a special note, this will be the fourth year Burt has volunteered and mentored juniors in the program. He is an outstanding junior who will be playing squash at Bates College next year and we will miss him. This year we have seen a significant resurgence in juniors playing squash. This has been due to multiple factors, one of which is the outstanding coaching of our professionals Khalid and Mohsen Mir. We have also had many successes this year with many of our juniors, home and away. We have had a record number of juniors playing in our MAC tournaments this year, and many have competed at away tournaments as far away as Boston. We have seen many of our juniors who have started in the Sunday Family Clinic play squash more routinely and improve. Anushka Gupta and Hannah Daya are two examples of players who are now playing in clinic during the week and competing in local tournaments. Vaughan Siker started in family clinic two years ago and is now competing on a national level. Many of our top juniors also compete in the Adult Box League and Portland City League events representing the MAC.

Almost from inception, the club intended to build a second 18-hole course on the property and acquired additional acreage for that Realitypurpose.creptin soon enough, when MAC realized that the requirement for golf club members to be MAC members worked expansionagainstofthe golf club list –that and rising competition from other new courses. The requirement was soon dropped, but then MAC discovered that their golfing members would cancel their MAC membership in the spring and rejoin in the fall during the usual no-fee membership drive, causing a serious dues revenue problem. Very quickly, MAC established an arm’s length relationship with the golf club, reducing the number of MAC trustees who served on its board to only three.

The next 10 years were very difficult for both the Multnomah Golf Club, now left entirely on its own, and MAC, which had committed to bond-funded expansion of its stadium at almost the same time as creation of the golf course. The Depression caused drops in membership for both MAC and the golf club, and projected stadium revenues dried up. By 1935, it was over for the golf club, which entered into receivership and dissolved. The stadium received a reprieve through revenue from dog racing, but only through tough negotiations with bondholders (mostly non-members) did the club receive badly needed revenue for capital improvements of the club itself. During many of the Depression years, MAC operated at a deficit. Had MAC not created the golf club as a separate corporation, the combined impact of stadium revenue problems, sinking membership in Depression years, and the slow failure of the golf club could easily have caused MAC itself to fail.
George Archivist
MAC’s Golf Course Lost to Depression Years
In 1955, members of MAC who had belonged to the golf club gathered to remi nisce. One of the first holes-in-one, some one recalled, was a topped shot that skipped three times on a water hazard before climbing the bank and rolling into the cup. Today, almost nothing remains of the course except for a street named “Fairway” right in the heart of Raleigh Hills, the development that eventually swallowed the MAC’s vener ated championship course.
Archivist George Vogt came to MAC in 2011 to help bring order to the vast array of artifacts and documents associated with the club. He writes an occasional column. This month he takes a look at the club’s long-lost golf course. W e want golf. That was the prevailing view within MAC, even in pre-war years. Before World War I, various members worked with the Portland Parks Department to evaluate sites for a public course – there were three private courses and no public ones in that era – and Eastmoreland Golf Course was the result, opening in 1918. But by the 1920s, it seemed that any self-respecting athletic club must have its own golf course, a view encouraged by the editor of The Oregonian Golf fever was contagious, and with the membership’s enthusiastic support, MAC’s president named special committees to find land, form the club and oversee construction. With providential foresight, as it happened, MAC established the Multnomah Golf Club as a separate corporation, though it was initially populated only with MAC members and governed only by MAC Trustees. A glance at the financial reports published in 1925, the year the golf club opened, reveals that the club purchased the 225-acre parcel of wooded farmlands with very little down and substantial carrying costs. Initially, enthusiasm ran high, and the club opened with more than 500 male and 33 female members, each of whom paid in cash or by installments a $300 initiation fee. The course, designed by Willie Locke of San Francisco, was championship quality, with sand and water hazards and a total length of 6,690 yards. A. B. McAlpin, MAC’s founding president, was the manager, and Verne Perry, a future MAC general manager, the assistant pro. The existing farmhouse served as the clubhouse until a new one was constructed in 1927.

Major: Management Residence: Portland, Oregon How would you describe your current business?
My parents Joe and Joanne Delahunt (both of whom were also very involved at UP). Also, many of the people I’ve worked with in my 25+ year career. They all taught me about myself and about leadership; they’ll know who they are. What advice would you give to today’s University of Portland business students? Work hard and don’t feel entitled. If you work hard the rewards will come. If you get ahead of yourself, you’ll be disappointed. What is a favorite memory from your time spent on the Bluff?
