elcome to April and spring! Time certainly flies, especially at the Multnomah Athletic Club, where members have countless activities from which to choose. It is hard to believe that we are already two months into the new trustee year.

Holly Lekas PRESIDENT

Our trustee class became a close-knit and committed team last year, and we discussed ideas, dreams and goals in advance of our election. We trust each other, and know that together we are stronger, like our membership. We are committed to serving MAC members, as are our more than 40 member-driven committees.

With that mindset, our conversations led to the idea of creating a theme for the year, which we shared and finalized with the full Board of Trustees at a recent working retreat.

All 12 trustees agreed on the 2019-20 theme of Enhancing Member Experience.

This theme is the lens that will focus the decisions and actions taken by the board. As we move forward, we will ask ourselves how each action, decision and effort impacts the experience of members. We identified three areas of emphasis that advance the theme: focusing on strengthening the committee system, increasing communication with members, and enhancing our MAC community.

We will seek new and expanded ways to engage members. We thank you in advance for your support and willingness to join with us.

The MAC committee system is key to our successful member-governed club. The system is designed to engage members in club leadership activities. Committees cover a broad range of areas from specific sport committees, to social committees, to events or issuerelated committees. The first major job for new officers is to tackle the complex task of reviewing member interest forms and making major committee assignments. The goal is to match interests and skills of members with committee needs. Similar to last year, we had more committee interest forms than available committee openings. This is a sure sign that the MAC committee system is viable and strong. We sincerely appreciate your interest in getting involved, and apologize that we were not able to meet everyone’s requests. Please stay involved.

As president, my first official duty was to present the team awards at the MAC Open.

Approximately 5,000 people, including more than 1,200 gymnasts, visited MAC for this three-day event. At one point, I stood watching our girls compete in the floor exercise to my right, and boys compete on the bar to my left. In that moment, I realized the high level of skill, commitment, dedication, talent and resilience of each MAC athlete.

They modeled individual fortitude and a team spirit that helped each perform at high levels, conquer obstacles and reach new heights. Countless volunteers worked tirelessly from the early morning until late in the evening to produce a quality event. Our teams earned a second- and third-place trophy.

Congratulations MAC gymnasts!

In March, the Member Art Show transformed our Reading Lounge into an art gallery. Watercolors, photographs and oil paintings filled the walls and reflected yet another dimension of our membership. The Diversity Admissions Committee display also provided a learning opportunity. Please check their monthly display in the showcase.

Monthly opportunities to learn and grow via our displays and special events present themselves. You can learn about them in The Winged M, on posters on the basement level bulletin board, on various digital displays throughout the club, or from a member you met in a committee or at an event. My hope is that you find new ways to enjoy MAC and that next year you will enter the Art Show!

While New Year’s resolutions may be waning, it is never too late to focus on physical and mental wellness. Wellness Manager Will Cath and his staff work hard to serve our diverse membership. They are creating a wellness program to meet a broad range of needs with the goal of providing a program that makes members healthy and happy.

This month, consider taking advantage of the free Wellness Champion service, which provides a chance to tour all that MAC Wellness has to offer. The team is ready to tailor a program to meet individual goals and schedules, and help support wellness and a healthy lifestyle in April and beyond. To learn more, email wellness@themac.com.

Last week, I got an email from an Early Bird friend of mine who spends winters in warmer climates. He had returned to Portland and his MAC routine for a few days, and shared that it felt great to touch base with his friends and “be back at the best club anywhere.” I agree.

Enjoy this month. Try something new. Make new friends. Participate. Find new ways to be part of the MAC community.

ooking through Time magazine’s 1969 Special Edition reminded me how many firsts of monumental proportion happened 50 years ago.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked Norm Rich on the moon. The GENERAL MANAGER Woodstock Music Festival drew 400,000 fans to the world’s largest rock music concert. The Boeing 747 was flown for the first time, and the first Concorde test flight was conducted.

Golda Meir became the first female prime minister of Israel. John Lennon and Yoko Ono married. The famous photo was taken of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road. Sharon Tate was murdered. Willie Mays hit his 600th career home run, and the New York Mets won the World Series in four games in one of the greatest upsets in baseball history.

Dr. Denton Cooley implanted the first artificial heart in a patient, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, was released.

I was then inspired to read through The Winged Ms from 1969, and wanted to call out some of the noteworthy topics discussed and make some comparisons to today.

• Vern Perry, former manager, discussed the House Rules as they relate to dress code.

The House Committee wanted to give more visibility to the dress code in the restaurant.

• Early Birds who made a New Year’s resolution to trim down and get rid of their extra baggage they picked up over the holidays by participating a weight-loss contest.

Food & Beverage Director Cameron McMurry Executive Chef Philippe Boulot Food & Beverage Manager Matthew Carter Events & Catering Manager Abby DenUyl

• The Multnomah Stadium Association made a pledge of $60,000 to install artificial turf in the stadium. In December 1968, the club had total assets of $6.6 million; today that has grown to $95.3 million. Total annual club revenue in 1968 was $2.1 million, and today it is closer to $46 million.

Human Resources Director Alison Beppler

• Club President Robert Liberty appointed 277 members to committees; today we have more than 600 committee members.

Member Services Director Lisa Virtue Mporium Manager Tonya Mitchell Member Services Manager Christine Natonek Membership Manager Kevin Pollack Technology Director Matt Abraham

• In one of his columns, Mr. Liberty announced that Phase II construction would begin in early 1970, and members wondered if Phase II would include additional indoor tennis courts and another swimming pool, among other amenities.

• In November 1969, the president announced a special member meeting to discuss Phase II and invited men only, senior, life and honorary members. (It is a good thing that times have changed since this request.)

• President Liberty apologized for having to raise dues by $6, or $3 if a parking facility wasn’t going be added in Phase II. • A special committee was appointed to study and make recommendations concerning club membership and the dues structure, overall and by membership category. Waiting periods for admission to the club were 3-10 years.

• In his column, Verne Perry, club manager, discussed the importance of providing great food and service, as well as food and beverage pricing.

• Perry also noted “It must have been several months since I have mentioned parking lots to you, so I would like to explain again that we have various ways of making sure that only the members who are actually in the clubhouse are parking in the club lots.”

A stern warning was offered to high school students and those under 21 not to park in the members’ lot. He closed by saying, “We appreciate the cooperation from members who do observe the parking rules to get the best possible use out of these 295 car spaces.”

I find it remarkable that some of the same themes we talk about in 2019 were relevant back in 1969. Some things never change! We struggle with many issues, and time does not always solve them. Hopefully our strategic plan will allow us to thoughtfully debate and make decisions that are in the best interest of our membership for the long term.

Lastly, I want to recognize and memorialize member Maureen Murphy, who passed away in January. Mo was a competitive swimmer and competed for MAC in the World AAU championships, finishing first in the world in 1955. In 1956, she competed for the United States at the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, finishing fifth in the world. Maureen holds the highest MAC member athletic honor, being recognized on the club’s Wall of Fame in the lobby. As one of her friends stated, “She came in first place to arrive at the gates of heaven prematurely.”

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC Synchro teams, coaches, staff and families were delighted to learn that Head Coach Lucie Svrcinova recently was named West Zone Coach of the Year, after being first nominated by her peers in 2015. The honor is given to a coach of a team in the 10 West Coast states.

As a professional coach at MAC since 2005, Svrcinova has coached six swimmers to the National Team, and consistently leads her teams to the Junior Olympics. As an athlete, she continues to compete and earned two gold medals in 2014 and a silver medal in the 2017 FINA Masters World Championships.

Svrcinova works with all junior age groups and with Masters synchronized swimmers.

When asked how she felt about being named Coach of the Year, she reflected that, “It shows what great families, staff and support we have at MAC.” For their part, staff say Svrcinova has a passion and commitment to the sport of synchronized swimming that is a great inspiration to her athletes. She is respected for her ability to consistently support them in reaching higher levels of skill without the downside of judgment or disappointment in a their performance. .

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Allyson Wilinski at 503-517-7222 or awilinski@themac.com.

If MAC’s new Squash Head Coach and Manager Werner Hergeth says he’ll meet someone “now-now” or “just-now,” that person should ask for clarification.

Hergeth says citizens of his native South Africa use the terms interchangeably to mean “soon” or “in a little while, which could imply five minutes from now or in two hours. Fortunately, squash is such a fast-paced game that nobody will have to wait for Hergeth on the court. “I think the fact that you’re burning 1,000 calories in an hour while in the middle of a chess match with your opponent makes for a pretty interesting — and intense — premise,” he says. Hergeth’s parents’ first date in high school was a squash game, which he sees as making his career choice inevitable. Despite being born into the game, he brings intentionality to his new position: “MAC has a great squash community filled with passionate players who really just love the game. There are several top national junior players doing some big things, and we need to also focus on the next wave of players that could follow in their footsteps.”

Lee Perry is absolutely living his best life.

The former chair of MAC’s Ski Committee recently was recognized for 60 years as a member of the Professional Ski Instructor Association — one of only two members to receive the honor this year. Currently lead instructor with the Powder Hounds Ski School, Perry is privileged to only ski for pleasure on what he refers to as “bluebird days.” When the sky is azure mid-week, and there are no crowds, clouds or wind, he makes the short trip from his home in Government Camp to Mt. Hood Meadows to celebrate the “pure life.” A fan of Thoreau, he’s visited Walden Pond, and lives with laser-like focus. He hasn’t had an email account for more than 15 years, ever since he quit the optical industry. Long before that, though, his vision was trained on what he saw as important. Two of his war buddies lost their legs in Korea and a high school friend lost his leg in an industrial accident, which inspired him to help start an amputee ski school at Timberline in 1958 — the first of its kind in the United States. He went on to co-authored the first manual of amputee skiing in the 1960s.

Longtime MAC member and Wall of Fame resident David Steinberg recently made news when he was honored as the College Coach of the Year by his handball peers. As head coach of the Pacific University handball team, he helped the Boxer squad capture its fourth consecutive team national championship in the men’s and women’s Combined A Division.

Steinberg has competed on the court for 40 years in national tournament play, winning back-to-back National Open Singles titles in 1988 and 1989. Over the next 15 years, Steinberg won 13 state and four regional open championships. Steinberg is also one of only a dozen Level 5 referees in the country and has officiated numerous national and world championship pro singles and doubles matches over the years. MAC Racquetball Head Coach and Manager Hank Marcus says he’s incredibly proud of Steinberg. “David is a legend at MAC for all his work on and off the court.

His work with the next generation of handball players is an inspiration to all.”

For Donors and Recipients Alike, MAF Facilitates Philanthropy A bout five years ago, Greg Houser and his brother, Pete, began discussing ways to give back to Lincoln High School.

“We’re Lincoln alums, so we wanted to find a way to honor Lincoln for all that we benefitted from, in terms of lessons learned, experiences we had, and lifelong friendships that we made,” Greg recalls.

But Lincoln wasn’t the only institution that made a powerful impact on the brothers’ lives. They grew up at MAC, taking swim lessons at the club, and playing baseball and Pop Warner football for MAC teams. While Pete moved to San Francisco, MAC has remained an important part of Greg’s life, and they found a way to honor both institutions at once. The annual Houser Scholarship benefits a Lincoln graduate and is administered through the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, MAC’s community outreach partner.

“We were able to memorialize our gratitude for Lincoln while using the resources of the foundation, which has the experience, policies and mechanisms in place to vet candidates, make selections and handle all of the details,” Houser says. “It’s a great marriage that allows us to be a part of the process.”

“The mechanics have been extremely easy,” he adds. “We worked with the foundation to set up guidelines, and the kids that we get through the process are unbelievable. Now we’re working to build up an endowment that will eventually be self-sustaining.”

Giving: More Than Money The Houser Scholarship is based on need, merit, and school and athletic participation, and provides $10,000 to each recipient for up to two years of college tuition.

It also offers an opportunity for scholars to interact with Greg and Pete, which has been beneficial for both parties.

“I didn’t want to be intrusive, but I wanted to offer myself as a mentor, and as a contact in terms of helping them progress, whether it be with internships or job interviews or contacts,” Greg says. “These kids are so talented and so hard working that they really don’t need much. I helped one of the recipients with an interview with a good friend of mine who runs a local corporation. That was really gratifying.”

Greg Hauser, past MAF president, with scholarship recipients Will Holland, Annika Steele and Libby Lazzara

Finding Value, Sense of Belonging Will Holland was the inaugural recipient of the Houser Scholarship in 2016. After a year at the University of San Francisco, he discovered his calling — environmental studies — while also discovering that campus life at a largely commuter school wasn’t a great fit for him. He’s now thriving as a junior at Gonzaga University, where he’s an active member of campus groups such as Fossil Free Gonzaga, and plays and referees in intramurals throughout the year.

“College started out to be a bit more rocky than expected. However, I’ve become an independent mind, discovering where my values lie and who I am as a person,” Holland says. “Transferring was one of the harder decisions I’ve had to make to date, but choosing to do so opened the door to my own self-discovery, and ultimately positioned me in a place where I can succeed and better those around me to the best of my ability.”

Annika Steele was the Houser scholar in 2017, and also chose Gonzaga. Steele had a tricky choice to make. As an elite runner, several schools offered her a chance to compete. But with a history of injuries, Steele says she needed to find a place where

“I could still be successful and happy if my ability to run was taken away.” Gonzaga fit the bill. Even after injuries derailed her college running career, she’s still found success.

“However hard it’s been for me to leave this sport and the world of competitive athletics, the forced change has allowed me to meet new people and investigate other parts of my life, trying to find things I can feel the same passion for,” she says. “I’ve been able to shift my mindset from pure competition to being active for my own happiness, and just doing what brings me joy.”

The most recent Houser scholar, Libby Lazzara, is a freshman at Colorado College.

“Thus far, college has been a roller coaster of new experiences and learning to adapt to situations, both in the classroom and on the court, that I have never faced before,” she says. “As an athlete on the volleyball team I learned more from this season about myself and what it means to be a teammate than any other time in my athletic career.”

The Housers keep up with each student’s progress through periodic email updates and an annual winter gathering. “I had lunch with the recipients in January. It was

A Better World Made Easy The Multnomah Athletic Foundation is a dynamic collection of individuals, families and organizations who want to see kids in the community participate and thrive for generations to come.

The foundation team is dedicated to making giving easy, efficient and meaningful. Whether it is participating in a volunteer opportunity or making a charitable gift, the foundation has the knowledge and tools to ensure MAC members get the most out of the giving experience. “Connecting passionate, community-minded people is what we do best. Let us help you achieve the greatest possible impact in the areas you care about most,” says Lisa Bendt, MAF executive director.

MAF administers eight scholarship programs that distribute more than $125,000 annually to more than 40 recipients: the MAC Scholar Athlete program, which awards $1,500 to a student from each of 29 high schools in the Portland Metro area each year; the Houser and Loprinzi Scholarships; the Fay Sasser Scholarships for MAC employees; and four sportspecific scholarships.

The MAF Scholarship Committee and teams of trained scholarship readers ensure that there is a rigorous process for selecting students for each award.

“YGI was a great opportunity to have an impact on something meaningful — that is sometimes hard for a teen,” says Maya Sykes, a 2017 YGI participant and student at Sellwood Middle School.

The group also evaluates MAF grant applications, works together to review and research the organizations, and explores group decision-making processes. The final session of the program is a deliberation and decision on how to best allocate $5,000 in grants to local organizations that have applied to the foundation. u Teens interested in being a part of the Youth Grant Initiative for the fall 2019 program are encouraged to apply during the month of May via the foundation’s website, MultnomahAthleticFoundation. com or by contacting Lisa Bendt at 503517-2350.

Daniel was born in Portland to Arch and Jane Kingsley on Oct. 1, 1932. He was an avid athlete and spent his youth playing various sports at MAC, including lots of squash. Dan was also a committed runner, clocking many miles on the old indoor track.

He graduated from Andover and then Princeton University, cum laude, in 1954. After college, Dan served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War as an intelligence officer in the Army Security Agency. He then joined the family business, succeeding his father as president of Kingsley Lumber Co., in Linnton, Oregon.

After the mill was sold in 1968, Dan was able to follow his heart and his love for politics. He started off as a volunteer for the Richard Nixon presidential campaign, and quickly rose to the positions of General Services Administration commissioner and special assistant to the president in the Nixon White House.

He then served in the Ford Administration as the chief operating officer of the Small Business Administration. After serving in the Ford White House, Dan became partner in the Washington office of Deaver and Hannaford, a national public relations firm, representing Ronald Reagan, among many others. Dan finished his career as CEO of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), from 1977 until 2000.

Dan was a member of the Congressional Country Club, Potomac, Maryland, and the Mariner Sands Country Club of Stuart, Florida. He was also a lifelong member of the Multnomah Athletic Club and the Racquet Club in Portland. Dan was a great sports fan; he loved golf and football, especially his Oregon Ducks! His passion and love of life, family and country will be missed very much.

Dan is survived by his wife, Nancy; his six children, Daniel Kingsley Jr., Clay Kingsley, Blake Kingsley (MAC member), Christopher Kingsley, Elizabeth Kingsley and Reed Kingsley; and his five stepchildren, Scott Banks, Lynne Banks Tarvin, Cameron Banks Caskin, Courtney Banks and Michael Banks, whom he fathered as his own. Dan is also survived by 27 grandchildren, who each received great attention and love from their

granddad and his younger sister, MAC member Ann Kingsley Diestra, of Portland. He was predeceased by another sister, Charlotte Kingsley Stanton.

Marilyn Portwood Dec. 16, 1936-Jan. 28, 2019 Marilyn (Walker) Portwood passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Jan. 28, 2019.

Marilyn was born in Portland on Dec. 16, 1936, to Nevilles “Jim” Walker and Dora (Williams) Walker. Marilyn went to public school in Portland, including Fernwood and Beaumont grade schools and Grant High School. She attended the University of Oregon and was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority.

She received her bachelor’s in English from Portland State University. Marilyn married her husband Richard “Dick” Portwood in June 1957. She had a career as a middle school teacher in various school districts in Oregon.

She was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club for over 50 years; her parents were also members. She learned to swim at the MAC as a child. She played tennis on Sundays for many years. She served on the Diversity Committee and was instrumental in getting the club to recognize female members who reached the 50-year membership milestone, which had not been done previously, long before she reached that milestone.

Marilyn descended from Chief Tumulth, a Cascade/Watlala tribal leader and signatory on the 1855 treaty of the Willamette Valley. She was a proud and active member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde of Oregon.

Marilyn lived a remarkable life, full of purpose, determination and grace. She was kind to all whom she met and treated everyone with great respect. She and Richard loved to travel, ski, and play tennis, and she was an accomplished dominoes player. She loved spending time in Central Oregon, in the peace and quiet of their Black Butte Ranch vacation home, usually in the company of friends and family. Marilyn was a beloved member of the Ascension Episcopal Parish family for 35 years.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Richard; her sisters, Joan Anderson and Valerie Alexander; her daughters, Nina Portwood Shields (Tim), Lee Ann Huffman (Eric); her son, Michael; and grandchildren, Hannah, Abigail, Nicholas, Richard “Ricky,” Lucy and Dominic.

At her request, memorials should be sent to Ascension Episcopal Parish or the Oregon Food Bank.

The Honorable Garr M. King Jan. 28, 1936-Feb. 5, 2019 Judge Garr M. King, 83, passed away surrounded by his wife and family on Feb. 5, 2019. Mike was born in Pocatello, Idaho, and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he attended Judge Memorial High School and the University of Utah.

He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1954, and was stationed at Treasure Island in San Francisco, where he met the love of his life, Mary Jo. They married in 1957, and in 1959 moved to Portland, where Mike worked as a trust officer while attending night school at Northwestern School of Law. In 1963, he began his law career as a Multnomah County deputy district attorney.

He entered private practice in 1966 with Morrison & Bailey. In 1973, he joined Jack Kennedy to form Kennedy & King, where he practiced as a trial attorney for 25 years.

He served as president of the Multnomah County Bar Association from 1975-76 and became a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers in 1984. In 1998, he was appointed by President Clinton as a judge to the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. Mike’s fairness, empathy, common sense, and deep respect for the law and his profession made him a trusted and respected member of the Portland legal community.

Mike loved spending time with Mary Jo, their children, and grandchildren at Black Butte Ranch. He enjoyed time with friends golfing at Columbia Edgewater C.C. and playing tennis at MAC. Mike and Mary Jo had a wonderful group of friends and colleagues, and together they traveled the world. Mike was a generous contributor to his community with pro bono legal work and active involvement with All Saints, Central Catholic and Lewis & Clark Law School.

He is survived by his wife Mary Jo; and his family, Mary Beth Powell, Mike King (Diane), Matt King (Karen), Jim King, Meg Conant (Clarke), John King (Lisa) and David King (pre-deceased); his grandchildren, Ryan King (Lauren), Matthew King, Meghan King, Tanner King, Elliot King, Peter King, Stephanie King, Elizabeth Conant, John Conant, Lauren King, Claire Powell, Peter Conant and Jason King; his late mother, Geraldine King; and his siblings, Patrick King, Kathleen McPolin, Shannon Myrin, Timothy King, Calleen Letaconnoux and Terry King.

Remembrances can be made to the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College (Jack L. Kennedy Scholarship for Working Evening Law Students).

AYURVEDA EXPERIENCE Find Balance With MAC Wellness

By Jake Ten Pas

M

assage at MAC is a many splendored thing. Between them, the club’s nine licensed massage therapists specialize in modes ranging from Deep Tissue to Reiki and Ayurveda. If an ailment can be addressed by massage, there’s a good chance MAC’s practitioners offer the treatments members need.

As part of the club’s Wellness program, massage readily can be mixed and matched with other approaches to health and happiness to create custom, multidisciplinary plans for helping members reach their goals. For example, the club’s dietitian or naturopath might work with a personal trainer or massage therapist to identify lifestyle barriers to optimized well-being.

While Wellness is a relatively recent addition to the club’s offerings, the philosophy behind it — bringing together physical, mental and even spiritual health — dates back to some of the planet’s oldest cultures. The tradition of Ayurveda, for instance, originated somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago on the Indian subcontinent.

There’s debate about whether Ayurveda is a system of medicine, a proto-science or a pseudoscience. Regardless, practitioners and recipients of treatments based in the tradition continue to experience positive effects from its timeless principals of balance between body, mind, spirit and the surrounding environment.

18 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2019

MAC is fortunate to have multiple specialists schooled in the wisdom of Ayurveda, and ready to help members address health and wellness concerns either before or after they’ve tried Western medicine or other alternative methodologies.

A BEAUTIFUL TREATMENT Ayurveda translates as “life science” or “knowledge of life.”

Either way, it’s a system of natural healing designed to promote wellness from a holistic perspective. “It’s mainly providing guidelines on ideal daily living and seasonal routine, diet, behavior, and proper use of our senses,” says MAC LMT Nadia Sokolova. “It’s all about the balance.”

“Americans are so stressed, and they never really take a moment.

Maybe just take a walk or meditate. It’s a big part of wellness,” she says. As the club’s longest-serving massage therapist, Sokolova has nearly three decades of experience in helping members destress.

“The people who are like, ‘Just go, go, go!’ – they don’t relax, they don’t really take it seriously. But very small changes can make you feel better.”

For three years, Sokolova has been offering Shirodhara, which she describes as “a beautiful treatment to help people who are stressed, who are not sleeping well, relax on a deeper level.”

CRAIG MITCHELLDYER

“What Nadia does is a little different because she has the massage therapy degree. When you’re going through Ayurvedic school, they’re teaching you certain facets of Ayurveda because there are many,” she says. “Because I have a yoga certification, I can’t put my hands on anyone in that way, but I can give advice like how to balance your diet according to your body type, information about nutritional supplements like a naturopath would, or a therapeutic yoga program. I can talk about stress management, meditation and Pranayama.”

Pranayama is a term that will likely ring bells for yoga enthusiasts.

The practice of controlling the breath is central to the practice, as are many of the tenets, and much of the vocabulary, of Ayurveda.

While Brunke says that she’s always been interested in the human body, medicine, and the art of healing, it was a yoga teacher who first set her down the road to becoming a practitioner herself.

“One of my teachers would incorporate the history, the wisdom of Ayurveda in the class. I always loved the experience, but I was also interested in the ‘why.’ What is the benefit of us doing this?

How does it influence the body?”

Brunke began to look into naturopathic medicine, and said that the Ayurvedic path just made the most sense to her because the lineage is so close. “It’s part and parcel of the yoga practice!” she says.

She weaves her learnings into the classes she teaches at MAC, and has done a number of seasonal workshops and Friday Focuses on the subject over the years.

“People are coming to Ayurveda because they want something individual for themselves,” she says. “Ayurveda is looking at a person and going, ‘Okay, your needs are very different than the person next to you. Everybody has their own way that they need to prevent themselves from getting sick.”

THE ART OF HEALING

The club’s longest-serving massage therapist, Nadia Sokolova has nearly three decades of experience helping members de-stress.

Shirodhara combines the Sanskrit words for “head” and “flow,” and involves the pouring of warm, herbal oil over the forehead, and specifically upon the Chakra point just above and between the eyebrows. This is also known as the “third eye,” and is said to be the seat of human consciousness. The oil flows over the scalp and through the hair, creating a sensation that some describe as “blissful.”

Sokolova also offers Abhyanga, a light, soothing oil massage of the body. The oil is infused with herbs chosen based on a client’s doshas, or the three energies that are believed to circulate in the body and govern physiological activity. As Sokolova explains it, “It’s long, relaxing strokes focusing on the lymph nodes, which aids in the release of toxins from your body.”

NURTURE THE BODY WHOLE “Ayurveda is more than just Shirodhara, notes Sokolova. “If you find that treatment beneficial, we can start doing the approach to find out who you are. What is your body type — Pitta, Kapha or Vata? We can learn more through a consultation.”

MAC Yoga Instructor Kimmie Brunke who, like Sokolova, received her certification from Kerala Ayurveda Academy, also is available to consult with members.

“The people who tend to look for Ayurveda are those people who want to seek prevention or balance,” Brunke says. “But I also find that some people seek it only when they’ve tried everything else, when it’s the last thing on their list.”

Sokolova first became interested in Ayurveda after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. “I started studying myself about herbs and digestion because she was really suffering. She couldn’t eat anything, and was pretty nauseated all the time from the chemo.”

This was roughly 13 years ago, and Sokolova was desperate for something that could both help heal her mother, and could improve her quality of life. “You don’t know what to do to help your parent to be better. Sometimes you just cry because it’s like that. You can’t really help.”

Help she did, though, and with the knowledge she gained, her mother lived four more years. “Her doctor was telling me that he couldn’t believe that she lived that long in her condition,” she remembers. “I started really believing it because I saw it with my own eyes. I saw that it was working.”

While Sokolova eventually lost her mother to cancer, she says that the extra years that they had together — and her mom’s ability to experience those years with some sense of joy — inspired her to graduate from the academy.

“It actually was helping me, too. It helped me to understand why I felt the way I felt, and helped me find ways to not be angry.

I started doing meditation, walking and breathing, just living.

Sometimes it was difficult, but it really did teach me a lot.”

WELLNESS SHARING WISDOM “We are introducing the concept [of Ayurveda] little by little at the club,” Sokolova says. “People will learn, and they can help themselves more. They can help their families more, to eat healthier, to exercise more, to focus on some very important parts of life.”

“Ayurveda’s for everyone because it’s not necessarily a specific thing, it’s the way that we want to live,” Brunke says. “It’s for anybody that would like to live a balanced life, who’s looking to emphasize prevention, who’s willing to empower themselves to take responsibility for their own well-being.”

Consultations with Brunke or Sokolova are actually investigations of a sort, where the Ayurvedic practitioner is trying to get to the root of what is out of balance

in their client’s life. “It really does get personal, like when you go to a doctor’s office,” Brunke says. “What’s going on with digestion? Is your skin too dry or too oily? What are you doing?

Are you eating according to your constitution or body type? Why are you dealing with stress? Is it lack of sleep or due to feeling overworked?”

These questions and more can help an Ayurvedic wellness coach to formulate a plan for improving health and well-being, as well as providing materials and support necessary to the process of making lasting life changes. “It is really a holistic approach with a little bit more of a spiritual edge to it,” Brunke says. “You’re taking all that information, that imbalance, and then you’re looking at ways to create a common-sense program that’s going to bring them back to balance.” WM

QUALITY OF LIFE IS THEIR BUSINESS MAC physical therapists partner with patients to get them back in action

By Jake Ten Pas

L

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

est the lede get buried, MAC has physical therapy! For some readers, that won’t be news. For others, it might be breaking news. Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Members can get the treatment they need without leaving the club!

It’s been two and a half years since physical therapists Jay Jensen and Dr. Kinzie Munar first made their services available to members on the premises, and Jensen is still surprised by how many aren’t aware of their offerings. “I heard a person who was sitting on the chairs right by the Physical Therapy sign telling someone that he didn’t know MAC had physical therapy,” he says, smiling. “This is the first time there’s ever been PT at MAC, and so we’re trying to get the word out!”

While there are plenty of club athletes known for speed, it’s possible that none of them could beat MAC’s word of mouth in a foot race. Those reading this article should share it with a friend in need, and know that today’s physical therapy is a far cry from past iterations.

“Gone are the days of cookie-cutter physical therapy. Gone are the days of PT standing for pain and torture,” Munar says.

“A good clinician is going to evaluate the individual, and the best thing is making goals together.”

“You have to be lifelong learners, staying current on the latest techniques, and the latest ways to do things,” Jensen asserts.

“Physical therapy has changed a lot over the years since I first became a physical therapist, and things continue to evolve.

If you don’t evolve with them, you’re going to get left behind.”

MAC’s PT pair are in complete agreement that a physical therapist’s job is to work with each patient to find the lowest level of pain at which mutually agreed upon goals can be accomplished.

“Don’t be afraid to come see us. Our goal is always to make you feel better than when you walked in the door. It’s never to make

“Don’t be afraid to come see us. Our goal is always to make you feel better than when you walked in the door.

It’s never to make you hurt.” — Dr. Kinzie Munar you hurt,” Munar says. “I think we’ve come so far in terms of research and understanding what pain is good pain, what pain is acceptable, and asking, ‘Do you even need pain in order to rehab a certain injury?’”

“If a patient knows that you’re working your tail off to get them back to where they were, and their prior level of functionality, there’s a relationship that develops. There’s a trust that they have in you that you have their best interests at heart, and I think that’s huge,” Jensen says.

While they’re clearly aligned in their commitments to listening, learning and tailoring each treatment, Jensen and Munar bring very different backgrounds to what they do. Jensen is a seasoned trainer and therapist who has worked with professional sports teams such as the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Timberwolves

and Portland Trailblazers for decades.

He first started with the University of Southern California’s athletics program, and his experience has snowballed over the years — literally during the cold years in Minnesota — into a juggernaut of sagacious, hands-on expertise.

Munar, on the other hand, is “young, enthusiastic and energetic,” as Jensen describes her. She also is steeped in PT experience from growing up with two parents who worked in the field, and brings an extensive academic background to her work via a doctorate from Loma Linda University. “My continuing education is around the spine, which is why I see all of our backs and necks. Jay is very sports-oriented, so we have all of our bases covered between the two of us.”

“Say NO to DUI and YES to JMI!”

WELLNESS Continued from page 23 That means they have members’ needs covered, and possibly in ways the average club constituent hasn’t even considered.

“I think the biggest misconception about physical therapy is that you have to go through a physician to come see me,” Munar explains. “We can cut out the middle man. We’re experts in musculoskeletal conditions. Most of the time, you can come directly to a therapist versus having to go through the rigmarole of going to see your general practitioner and getting a prescription, or going to a chiropractor, and then coming to see a physical therapist.”

“We’re here to help, and we take insurance,” Jensen says. Members who are unsure whether their insurance covers PT or associated treatments also can stop by the Wellness hub and speak with either Munar or Jensen, or email jay@ptatthemac. com or kinziemunarpdt@gmail.com.

“A therapist can certainly screen ailments that members have, and then point them in the right direction,” Jensen adds.

“If a patient has had a particular issue for

a number of weeks, they haven’t gotten better, and have not seen a physician about it, one of my first recommendations is that they go see one. If it’s not getting better, there’s a particular reason. I can also say, ‘Hey, you should probably see an ankle specialist for this problem, or at least get an x-ray to rule out certain possibilities.”

“Say you have knee pain. I’m not going to only look at your knee. I’m going to look at your feet, hip, back and lumbar control and abdominals,” Munar says.

“Knee pain doesn’t necessarily mean the disfunction is in your knee. We try to have a global view, and then become more sniper-like with our treatments, versus just offering a blanket response.”

MAC also offers physical therapists a unique environment in which to operate.

As Jensen points out, “Motion is lotion.”

Early activity is something that is important to the rehab process and can facilitate muscle strength, range of motion and the speed with which a client progresses, he says. “MAC has so many ways for us to get people moving.”

“We have this huge club, so whatever your passion is, whether it’s swimming, machines or just body weight, we have a lot of flexibility to come up with a treatment plan that works for the individual,” Munar says. “My role is to help facilitate someone’s growth as far as what they’re comfortable with, but also challenge them and help them branch out. My favorite thing to do is introduce new exercises or equipment to patients, so they have a whole bunch of options versus just being in a rut. A lot of times you develop pain from overuse injuries. You’re not varying your workouts or activities enough.”

“We’re creating programs around what the patient wants and is telling us, which either causes us to back off a little bit, or push a little harder, depending on that feedback,” Jensen says. “The relationship between the therapist and the patient, and the communication between the therapist and the patient, is huge for me.”

As Munar says, “I’m in the business of quality of life, so whatever that means to that individual, that’s what brings me joy.”

Meet the New

President amed psychologist Abraham Maslow once said, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” Given the tapestry of disparate individuals that form MAC’s community, a more nuanced approach is required for the job of governing. It’s fortunate that Holly Lekas — the new President of the Board of Trustees — sees the world through the eyes of a seasoned quilt-maker.

Like a quilt, Multnomah Athletic Club has all these different people who come together because of common goals,” she says. While MAC is made of many smaller tribes that form the whole, she sees a shared love of wellness, community and excellence uniting them all. “Sometimes a quilt is better because each square is separate, but they’re stitched together. If you’re open, and you listen, you see how multifaceted MAC is.

“I continue to grow in my appreciation of the depth and breadth of this place. It’s huge, and it’s rich with people who are passionate. It could be about their sport, their fitness, eating or it could be the social activities,” she says. “Whatever their passion, everybody supports everybody. I think it’s a pretty unique place in that way.”

While a quilt serves a metaphor for the club’s community, Lekas also has found practical applications for her crafty nature.

In recognition of her friend Ione Clair’s 85th birthday in 2018, she teamed with fellow members to create a quilt honoring the diversity of people whose lives Clair has touched. “I got hand-painted squares from very successful businessmen, mothers and daughters working together on squares, and one of our older members who handembroidered one. I was amazed how many people did so many different kinds of things, because she inspires so many people.”

“Like a quilt, Multnomah Athletic Club has all these different people who come together because of common goals.” — Holly Lekas The same could be said of Lekas. A retired educator, she has helped to create inclusive, inspiring spaces for kids and teachers at nearly every level in school districts from Beaverton to Denver. She’s taught language arts at the high school level, worked in human resources, and overseen a grade school as principal. As an executive administrator in Beaverton, a quarter of the district was her responsibility. “I loved everywhere I was. Kids are great, parents are great, it’s just a great profession,” she says.

When Lekas first stepped into the role of trustee at MAC, it was with a perspective equally well informed by her various roles in the club. She’s served on committees such as Diversity Admissions, House and Early Birds; routinely swims on her own and plays tennis with her husband, Jim; has cheered on her children and grandchildren in a variety of athletic endeavors; is a regular at the Beauty Bar in the Women’s Locker Room; and continued to grow as a writer in one of Tom Hallman’s classes at the club.

“I kind of see myself as eclectic, I guess,” she says, laughing. “Some might say that if you do a lot of different things, you never become an expert at anything. The way I look at it, though, an array of experiences really does help. The best thing I can do is learn about people. The more I listen, the more I learn, the more I can give back.”

One day, a student told me that kids knew that they would be safe in my class because I valued every voice,” Lekas says.

“That was one of the highest compliments ever given to me.” ­­­—Jake Ten Pas

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

A Candid Conversation Outgoing and incoming presidents discuss plans for the club’s future and the importance of community

M

AC’s new Board of Trustees might be its most diverse yet. Six of the twelve members are women, one of them is the president, and half of the third-year trustees are people of color. While the club continues to work toward the goal of being representative of the greater Portland community, it’s worth pausing to appreciate the progress evidenced by leadership.

For President Holly Lekas, time to reflect upon accomplishments may need to take a back seat to addressing all of the work ahead of her and her fellow trustees. Fortunately, as outgoing President Grant Yoshihara and Lekas both attest, the board is a tightknit group, dedicated to supporting each other and representing all members.

The more things change at MAC, the more the great traditions of the club continue to be illuminated. With eyes toward all that the community has been, and all that it can be, Yoshihara and Lekas sat down over pints at the Leaky Roof to have a frank conversation about what it means to steer the good ship MAC. Winged M: What is the vision for the club and the year ahead? What can members expect to see?

Holly Lekas: I think my job is going to be much easier than it would have been if I wasn’t following Grant, who did such a fine job last year, along with the rest of the officers, planning and building the foundations for the strategic plan. That work is seminal for MAC. It’s so much easier to move forward when you have that structure there. It’s taken time to get there, and now we’re getting ready to start launching things. Not big things, but moving toward that. We couldn’t have done that without what you did.

Grant Yoshihara: A lot of us were involved in that over the past several years, and the two prior boards that I was on, as well. That’s when we really started seeing

34 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2019

that we need to have a different approach to strategic planning, looking long-range at what the club needed to evolve. I think the big challenge is that evolving a club requires change. Change is difficult, especially when you have individual interests. We, as a board, had to look at the broad interests of the club. We also had to look at where the market was going, where future membership might evolve, and take care of the existing membership’s needs and interests.

There will be multiple initiatives that come out of this work. Ultimately, I think what will happen is we’ll need to make decisions around programming, both current and future. Now we have better data that actually helps drive these decisions.

I always think that you can argue all you want fundamentally, but when the data

is sitting in front of you and this is what it says, it’s hard to say “that’s not true” or “that’s not right,” or “I don’t want that.”

Holly, how do you see yourself continuing to build on what Grant’s describing?

Lekas: Well, the foundation is where you start. The data that we collected last year now can inform decisions. What we have not done quite yet is fill in the holes in our data. As for moving forward, now that the results of our member research have been presented to almost every committee, the next phase will be looking at it and analyzing it. Then, we’ll take that data and start to move forward on the initiatives that we know we have to do.

We have things like the 10-year facility plan. We now have some good data, so we can start planning that, moving

forward and asking, “What else do we need to inform this process?” Because my gut might tell me X. This is what we need to do for MAC. But without data, it could be wrong. It might just be wrong sometimes.

Everybody is. But when you have the data, you can check your gut feeling.

What’s rich about the club is that it’s one community made up of many communities. Those communities are what keep members connected and involved. So how we engage them to fill those holes and data — or see where we need more data — is really important as we move forward.

I think sending the member research report to committees is really a great first step. It’s a bigger invitation to engage than we’ve done in the past.

Yoshihara: You will never have perfect data. If you think you’re going to wait for perfect data, you will never do anything. So, you have to have enough data that gives you the confidence to move in this direction.

You talked about one community made up of many communities. How do you help all those little communities keep in mind that they are a part of one community? Doesn’t the survival and success of the whole ultimately trickle down to those subsets?

Yoshihara: I think we always have to remember that we’re all members of multiple communities. It’s seldom that you have just have one specific interest. When you become a MAC member, it’s for a lifetime.

You will change communities and interests over time, and I think members have to be cognizant of that because usually what we think about is “what am I doing now?”

What we should also be thinking is “what am I going to be doing in 10 years or 20 years?” What about my kids? What are they going to be doing and what are their interests going to be?”

As someone whose family has been active in the club for multiple generations, what’s your take on that, Holly?

Lekas: Three generations of my family are in the club right now. Two of my four children and all three of my grandchildren.

So, you’re right. When I look at something I look at it from my lens and my community’s. I also check my understanding with my kids. That gives me a broader perspective, and it also shows me how much broader I have to look.

opportunity to express your opinions.

There was respect. There was disagreement, but in a very open environment. I think when you have that kind of environment, you build trust. Then you can get to good, solid decision making because you’ve had the discussions you need to have.

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

I also felt that it was very important for us to get a much better understanding of where the staff’s perspectives and knowledge were. Because their experience is about how to operate this club. We don’t have that. We wanted to make sure that we were incorporating their thoughts, ideas and concerns. The reality is, if you feel like you’re being heard, you are more likely to have greater ownership of the decision.

Is there something you want members to know about how the club operates and how you represent them?

Lekas and Yoshihara are pleased to see greater diversity on the board, not only in terms of gender, but also race and age.

Continued from page 35 Yoshihara: I have three nieces who were all in competitive athletics in one form or another [growing up]. Now that they’re in their late 20s and 30s, the [activities] that they are participating in have a strong social aspect. That generation wants to do things with their friends.

They’re doing these crazy mud runs.

One is sending me pictures where she and her husband are just covered with mud, having a beer. They’ve got this big crew, and they’re very fitness-oriented. But they want to get that fitness in some kind of environment where it’s social. It’s a sport and social.

There’s a great example of that in the club already with the Early Birds. They are just as much a social group as an athletic group. Their numbers just keep growing as more and more people are looking for that kind of a community.

Lekas: That’s how I really got involved in the club. It was the Early Birds. Because I was working, and I needed to start working out because I was getting older and I was getting more out of shape in my job. The only time I could work out was early in the morning. Then, you begin to make friends, attend classes, and get into the social part of the Early Birds. That committee focuses on creating this social environment for different sports to get

together. It’s a wide range of people agewise, interest-wise and it’s fun to see how that is growing and how it’s changing.

Yoshihara: I think that’s really true of a lot of the fitness classes.

Lekas: Tennis is another. It’s a community of different levels. I’m a beginner tennis player, but there’s a community, and you grow together and you encourage each other. You hang out and you eat together.

You do all these things. Some travelling. I think almost all the sports replicate that in some way.

You’re an interesting case, Holly, because you started during your class of trustees’ second year. Now you are an officer. Have there been any surprises since you joined the board?

Lekas: Every day at MAC there’s a surprise for me. I’m really grateful for the last year, for the 12 members on the board. Of course, my class took me in and helped me learn. And then the first-year trustees, who adopted me for the All-Committee Dinner and allowed me to be in the video with them. I got to know them. The officers were really supportive and provided mentorship and opportunities for me to get deep-end knowledge of the club. That’s all a gift.

They do amazing work. They’re dedicated people. Everybody has everybody’s back. That’s not always true in this world.

Lekas: I’ve been a lifetime member, but there was a time in my membership where I really didn’t care who was on the board.

I cared that things were running well. The water was running, I could I get whatever I needed. There are periods of your life when maybe that’s all you can do, but I’d encourage people to get involved at any level. That’s the social community part that makes us strong. Since I’ve been on the board, I’ve really seen that the people who are in leadership roles at MAC care about every member. Their goal is to keep MAC viable, relevant, strong, and meeting members’ varying needs. It’s undying, focused commitment to that.

When you see other clubs like ours in other cities, they do not have the vibrancy or the connectivity between members or the greater community. It’s a very special place, and to be part of it is a gift. It’s a gift to be able to serve in a role that supports members and supports the staff. I want my great grandchildren to be members here.

Looking back on your board career, what’s the thing that you’re most proud of, Grant? Holly, looking ahead to your final year on the board. What’s the thing that you are most looking forward to?

Yoshihara: I would say dealing with the turnover that occurred within the Executive Leadership Team and ensuring that we got some really great people into those positions. The other was to change and evolve the process for strategic planning. That will hopefully be very Continued on page 39

Hank Hickox is a longtime (27 years) MAC member and past General Manager of Bandon Dunes, Skamania, Salishan, and Sunriver Resorts and presently Chairman of the Retreat, Links & Spa at Silvies.

Continued from page 37 data-driven, very fact-based, and that will help guide the club. Probably the third thing would be to acknowledge the past, excel in the present, but also plan for the future.

Lekas: I hope at the end of the year, I can say what he says. Because Grant said it perfectly. When I look back, I want to be able to say I built on the great work before me, and moved [the club] forward with my team, with transparency. That we engaged a broad range of membership in the process.

It’s worth acknowledging that in the officer class, we have three women and two people of color. It’s probably fair to say this the most diverse officer class that we’ve had.

Lekas: I think that’s a great accomplishment because it’s a diversity of voice and perspective, and I think it means a lot to members of the club. Women, people of color see that. I think that what’s really important is that we’re four very different people. Different walks of life, and different backgrounds. But we are a team and we

operate together. Our strength is being different together. And I think as MAC moves forward, we need to be different together, like this class.

Yoshihara: I think that it’s very important that we are seeing greater diversity within the board. It’s not just gender, it’s not just racial. It’s age. It’s a wide distribution of new trustees who have different experiences: Carol Robertson, with her huge time investment in and understanding of [the club], and involvement in so many programs. Rob Torch is a relatively new member who is doing brilliant things.

Chase McPherson, the young, visionary guy, whose interests reflect a younger generation, and Reidun Zander, who brings a lot of MAC history and committee experience to the board.

What is it about this community that different perspectives are able to come together in a room and make progress rather than making a stalemate as we see elsewhere?

Yoshihara: I think that the people who are involved at [the board level], especially as they’ve had more experience in the different levels of committees, they recognize

over that time that their interest is broader.

Their interest has to be in sustaining the club, and making it successful and continuing to make it a desirable place for our members. Because they recognize that that is the value proposition. I think it takes time. People need to see that and get some exposure to that. But once they do. Most people get it.

Lekas: For a long time, athletics wasn’t something women did here. Slowly, women got involved. Slowly, kids became more important. Different kinds of sports became more important. There’s a part of MAC that, as it grows, wants to be sure members feel included. I was at the Athletic Entrance and I was reading the things on the wall about Joe Loprinzi.

People like him set the stage for the club to stay relevant by being inclusive.

He was a great model of that, but he’s not the only one. Lots of people have and continue to do that. So, there’s something in the MAC DNA that says: we grow, we include, we take care of our members and our staff because that’s who we are. We take care of our community because that’s who we are. WM

Investments in fixed-income securities are subject to market, interest rate, credit and other risks. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in the decline in the bond's price. Credit risk is the risk an issuer will default on payments of interest and/or principal. This risk is heightened in lower rated bonds. If sold prior to maturity, fixed income securities are subject to market risk.

ATHLETICS

Kona Dreams One woman’s path to becoming a pro triathlete

M

eet Amy Henderson. Though slight in stature and unassuming in demeanor, Henderson is a fierce competitor.

One could say triathlon is in her blood, since she was introduced to the sport by her mother and brother. But after her heroic second place American Amateur Women’s finish and 10th Overall Amateur Women’s finish at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, in October, it’s clear that swim-bike-run is anchored in her heart as well.

Henderson shares about her start in the sport, how she got to Kona and what keeps her coming back for more, as well as her plans following her newly earned status as a professional triathlete.

How did you first get involved in triathlon?

I was introduced to triathlon early on as I cheered for my mom in local sprint distance triathlons in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Once I was old enough, I competed in the shortened kids’ version, and later we raced the Danskin Women’s Sprint race each summer. I competed in high school track and cross country, and when I went to college, I did a few half marathons and just ran for fun.

My brother raced Ironman Wisconsin my freshman year — the course went through the campus of University of Wisconsin, where I was a student. I remember being at the finish line and simultaneously feeling an overwhelming sense of awe and pride, while also feeling a deep sadness, convinced I would never be able to compete in an Ironman. Five years later, after I raced my first marathon, I knew I could finish an Ironman and signed up for Ironman Wisconsin.

54 | The Wınged M |

APRIL 2019

Where and how did you qualify for Kona?

I raced at Ironman Santa Rosa in May 2018. I qualified for Kona by winning my age group in a time of 10:06.

What were your goals going into the race?

After my race in Santa Rosa, where I surpassed the goals I had set for myself, I knew that for Kona I wanted to set some audacious goals. Even though I know it isn’t good practice to set placedependent goals (you can’t control other people around you), I wanted to qualify for my pro card, which would mean placing in the top 10 of amateurs overall. I suspected with that place I could also be on the podium (top five) in my age division, so that was also a goal. But most importantly, I wanted to fight.

I raced at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii in 2016, but I raced it more as a victory lap than a competition. In the marathon, when I was on track to surpass my time goal by over 30 minutes, I stopped pushing myself because I had nothing to push for. No matter how my race in Kona was going this time, I wanted to give everything that I had to give.

What was the most memorable part of the race?

My most memorable moment was when I had about six miles to go. I had just seen my parents cheering me on, and they told me there were two women close ahead I needed to catch. Not long after, I caught up to one woman at an aid station and I tucked in right behind her, matching her pace. As a psychologist, I am particularly interested in the mental side of training and racing. I had

ATHLETICS already gone through some mental lows and highs in the race, but in this moment, I was 100 percent concentrated. I just kept telling myself, “You are so lucky. She is setting the perfect pace. This is exactly the pace I want to be running. Just stick with her. Don’t let a gap form.”

There were moments when the thought would creep in that the pace was too aggressive, and I should just let her go, but I’d remind myself of that finish line and how I would feel then. The most important thing in the whole 10-hour day became this one moment and not letting her get away. I have so many race stories where I didn’t win that mental fight and they did get away, but in this one, 2018 Kona Times I hung on until I was able to make Swim: 1:09:23 a break with a couple miles to go. I held my lead and finished six seconds Bike: 4:59:20 ahead of her, for the 10th-place spot.

Run: 3:34:44 Even months after, I am still in Total: 9:48:34 a bit of shock that everything came together as perfectly as it did. It was never the placement goals that actually mattered. That was simply a way to motivate myself to dig deeper and find what I was capable of. This race was both a mastery of physical training and mental fortitude, and it makes me even more excited to see where I can push those next time.

u Read Henderson’s event-by-event account of the race at theMAC.com

What are your plans now that you have earned your pro card?

There is a lot of conversation in triathlon, particularly in the women’s field, around whether you should take your pro-card the first time you earn it or not. My feeling is that if I want to push myself to continue to improve, I need to have strong competition.

When you race the best, you push yourself to be better. So I have decided to take my pro-card and start racing in the pro field. That being said, my husband Nick and I want to start a family, so I am taking 2019 off from racing and our baby is due in August!

What do you find most rewarding about the sport?

I love the community surrounding triathlon. I moved to Portland in 2017 and immediately I was able to find a strong community through the sport of triathlon. At MAC we have the TriRun Committee, and there are so many great local races where you run into people you know. I am part of an all-women’s elite team — Steelhead Select — and those women are forever pushing me and motivating me to reach beyond what I ever thought I could do.

MAC Mile It’s time to start preparing for the annual MAC mile! Young, old, fast or slow, the Tri-Run Committee wants to see members out on the track giving it their best and having a blast on a relay team or turning up the heat in the competitive mile event. The annual event kicks off at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, at the Lincoln High School track.

ATHLETICS MAC Decathlon: Fitness for Life

F

or many members, the Spring Decathlon is an event they stay fit and ready for. Some competitors, new and long-standing, may switch up their workout routines to boost their score, but the real value in participating is having a goal or reason to increase overall fitness.

A February New York Times article cited a recent finding that while testing the cardiac risk factors of a group of 1,500 Indiana firefighters, researchers noticed that the ability to do 40 push-ups was a better predictors of lower cardiacevent risk than aerobic fitness!

They’ve been coached weekly at the Ambridge Table Tennis Club by Jeff Mason, current U.S. national coach and head coach of MAC’s Table Tennis Club, and now have many opportunities to play the sport of table tennis at MAC. Don and Henry attend MAC’s Saturday Clinics, which are held almost every month for all ability levels. They also participate in MAC tournaments, which are held about every three months. Players might even see them at the Thursday night practices, 7:45-9:30 p.m. in Studio One.

ATHLETICS Martial Arts Tutorial

A helpful guide to the three main disciplines

M

AC Karate has a long, proud history within the club. But for many people, martial arts all look the same — kicking, punching and exuberant shouting. Karate instructors frequently get questions such as, “Is this Tae Kwon Do?” or “My brother says Kung Fu is the best. How is Karate different?”

While there are new and different martial arts being created every day, and many different schools within each broad group, the main traditional martial arts are Karate, Kung Fu, and Tae Kwon Do. There are several differences between the three, but a very basic one is their national origin – Karate is Japanese, Kung Fu is Chinese, and Tae Kwon Do is Korean. Each country’s political, cultural and religious history has influenced the development of its civil fighting traditions. And each nation’s terrain and climate impacts the types of uniforms practitioners wear and the techniques they favor.

At their foundations, all of these arts were created for the same purpose – self-defense. There are only so many ways to punch, grab, claw or tackle another person. Everybody — regardless of their martial arts tradition — has the same vulnerable targets on their body, such as eyes, joints, throat and groin. Therefore, all martial arts employ variations of the same basic defenses, although they may be emphasized more or less, or taught in different orders in different schools.

Karate is a very direct, linear martial art. Punching and kicking are given about equal weight in this style. Some advanced moves show more fluid motion, but a lot of emphasis is placed on strong, spirited punches and kicks. The concept of giving 100 percent of yourself for your goal is woven into this Japanese martial art.

Kung Fu style is much more fluid. Developed by emulating the movements of animals, Kung Fu is more circular and yielding, while still having devastating, strong attacks. The balance of hard (linear and forceful) and soft (circular and deflecting) techniques is an outgrowth of the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang, a prominent Taoist symbol.

Sensei Bill Plapinger with students Tae Kwon Do is the newest of the major martial arts, dating back in its present form only about 85 years. The hallmark of Tae Kwon Do is spectacularly high, jumping kicks. While it is more similar to the direct style of Karate than Kung Fu, the Korean art has its own unique character emphasis on board-breaking, demonstrations and competitive sparring.

So, which is best? None of them. The particular art is less important than the quality of the practitioner and the instructor.

Finding a school, like the one here at MAC, with disciplined training, skilled instructors and dedicated students is the most important part of deciding on a martial art. u The next beginner Karate class starts Tuesday, May 7.

Pickleball for All

Five reasons to start (or keep) playing!

1. Health benefits: The sport helps with lowering blood pressure, boosting the immune system, stress reduction, improved mental acuity and overall fitness.

2. Relatively inexpensive: Paddles and balls are less than $100, and places to play are often free or relatively inexpensive.

3. Competitive, but fun: Pickleball provides a spirited opportunity to play with friends and make new ones. It’s fun and creates an environment conductive to laughter, which also reduces stress.

4. Portable: Set up a net, create lines, grab paddles and balls, and play.

5. Ageless: The game can be picked up quickly by most with a little bit of practice. A smaller court size is ideal for those with mobility limitations. u April is National Pickleball Month! Join the fun in the Main Gym: 5-8 a.m. Monday and Friday, 12-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 6-9 p.m. Sunday.

ATHLETICS Racquetball Duos and Teens Takeover the Courts

MJ Steen Team

T

his year’s MAC Racquetball Doubles Club Championship was a resounding success, with 32 players participating over three days in January.

It was exciting to see a number of new faces at the tournament. About half of the athletes were either first-time participants or hadn’t played in the last few years.

One of the winners was a familiar face.

For the second year in a row, Sanjay Bedi was part of the winning Advanced Division team, sharing the glory with lefty Rob Hilsenteger. The runners-up were Scott Cohn and David Rosenbaum.

The Intermediate Division was won by Carl Goebel and Chris Kopca, with Gary Berger and Robert Briglia coming in second. Congratulations to all!

ATHLETICS Meet the Cycling Coaches

T

his last year of the MAC member coach program is a great time to celebrate the coaching staff, for both cycling and the club at large.

They are all extremely dedicated to the sports they organize, and care deeply about helping people learn and grow no matter what the activity may be. Thank you to all the amazing MAC coaches!

This cycling season, five member coaches guide MAC members on rides each Wednesday and Thursday, as well as on the second Saturday of every month. While they are at different life stages, with different occupations and cycling goals, these five share a love of biking and have created an amazing riding program for 2019. While the weather at this time of year may not be constantly blissful, coaches already are leading weekly rides. Check the ride schedule on theMAC.com and come on out.

In the meantime, meet MAC’s most senior and junior cycling member coaches: Ian Penner and Elise Higgins.

How long have you coached at MAC and what do you love about it?

If someone is unsure about being “ready” to go on a MAC ride, what would you tell them to get them excited or put them at ease?

Ian Penner: This is my ninth year. I love the variety of approaches. Some riders want to try their first century or have never ridden in a group, while others have raced around the world. It’s fun trying to unite those needs.

Penner: Our member coaches and riders like nothing more than helping others enjoy cycling. It's a very welcoming group.

Elise Higgins: One year.

I enjoy sharing my love of cycling with other riders and supporting new riders, especially women.

Penner: Relax! Seriously, when you unlock your elbows, relax your death grip and unclench your teeth, everything becomes easier.

What’s the best cycling-related advice you’ve gotten?

Higgins: Ride your own ride, Juicy Fruit! It’s your ride, make it what you want it to be.

What is your favorite thing about cycling?

Penner: I love the freedom of being able to explore wherever you want — at speed!

Higgins: I love going out on epic long rides on the road or the dirt with friends. Challenging myself, supporting fellow riders, enjoying the journey. Riding hard. Playing hard.

You are accomplished riders. What motivates you to push yourselves and compete?

Penner: The challenge of beating a previous time or mark (distance, speed, elevation) is always a big motivator.

Higgins: I have always been a competitive athlete.

I enjoy setting a goal and working toward it. I love training — having a plan and executing it. I get to experience a sense of accomplishment with every workout. I am motivated by the challenge and by a desire to work hard and have fun.

What are you looking forward to for the 2019 MAC cycling season?

Penner: It will be fun to get riders excited about exploring new backroads near Portland they never knew existed, and helping them to challenge themselves.

Higgins: Warm rides in the sun! I look forward to discovering new roads.

60 | The Wınged M |

Higgins: Thursday rides are a great place to start. No one gets left behind. Super low-key and great coaches to support you. And the ride usually finishes with a beer or a glass of wine! Give it a shot, meet fellow cyclists, fall in love with cycling.

APRIL 2019

What’s a fun cycling-related fact or anecdote about yourself?

Penner: Prior to Seattle to Portland, my three longest rides (165-190 miles) were all absurd solo endeavors in Tennessee and Kansas City, Missouri. Riding with people decreases the drudgery.

ATHLETICS Swim Team: A Season in Review Short-course swimmers reach championships

T

he MAC Swim Team 2018-19 shortcourse season began with exciting changes and ended with fantastic racing.

In the fall, MAC welcomed two new coaches to the staff. After the retirement of longtime Head Coach Alex Nikitin, Senior Assistant Coach Tim Larkin was promoted to head coach. Laurie Kilbourn, formerly with Portland Aquatic Club, was hired to fill Larkin’s position. Alex Johnson, a three-year MAC employee was added to the Swim Team coaching staff, joining fellow Assistant Coach Chyna Fish and Associate Head Coach Cyndy von Weller.

Training began in September with a mix of new faces and returning swimmers. As is often the case, early-season meets brought their fair share of disqualifications, but also numerous best times and breakthroughs.

MAC coaches with 10 & Under State Championship swimmers: Sam Borus, Eloise Rush, Ellis Plowman, Beatrice Liu and Miguel Oliva

In November, 21 MAC athletes were honored at the Oregon Swimming Top Five Ceremony, along with former head coach Alex Nikitin.

In December, Coach Larkin took high school seniors Kevin Keil and Elise Kreutzer to represent MAC at Junior Nationals in Austin, Texas. Later that month, the team hosted two meets at the club. At this year’s inter-squad Red & White Classic, the Red team swam to victory in shocking fashion during the final relay. The next day, local athletes of all ages came to MAC for the IMX Challenge, competing in events such as the 400 Individual Medley and 200 Butterfly.

Entering the final months of the shortcourse season, MAC had more than 40 swimmers qualified for multiple levels of championship meets.

In February, MAC coaches joined five young athletes in Springfield, Oregon, for the 10 & Under State Championships and took a group of 10 swimmers to Corvallis for 11-14 State Championships.

APRIL 2019

ATHLETICS At the end of March, Coach Larkin accompanied 25 athletes to Senior Championships in Beaverton, and 15 swimmers to Senior Sectionals in Federal Way, Washington, to finish the shortcourse season.

MAC coaches began the season with the goals of educating swimmers about proper stroke technique and race strategy, as well as instilling a love of the sport and a trust in the long-term process of competitive swimming. Results, especially in swimming, do not come overnight. They are earned through hard work, dedication and a willingness to learn.

All the MAC Swim coaches extend a huge thank you to every parent who volunteered in any regard with the team this fall/winter. From refereeing at meets to bringing snacks for after practice, they could not do their jobs without families’ contributions.

ATHLETICS MAC jrs Volleyball Continues to Rise

S

ix years ago, parents and players expressed a desire for the MAC jrs volleyball program be more competitive. Since then, more experienced coaches have been hired, there’s been a focus on bringing the players together, and teams have been entered in tougher tournaments. The result: The program has steadily progressed from being average to very competitive.

Not only have participation numbers grown, but there’s also been an upswing in the number of teams competing at a higher level. Six years ago, MAC had one top-10 team in the region; today there are four, and seven of the club’s ten teams rank in the top 25 percent in the region.

A key factor in the success is the retention of players. It is common to lose a handful of players to competing clubs each year, or for players to stop playing volleyball all together. However, MAC has been able to retain more players than in previous years.

This is true of both MAC members and athletic members (nonMAC members who are granted temporary membership while they play). Six years ago, eight of the 80 club players were athletic members. Now, the numbers are 15 and 105. Every team that has gone to Nationals in the last six years has had at least one athletic member on it. The volleyball program is grateful that the athletic member program has helped retain players and grow participation!

ATHLETICS An Inspiration for All

D

r. Bob Gill, a MAC member for 37 years, an avid handball player for 33 years, and a sports historian, was diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2018. Prior to this announcement, Gill came out of the handball court and had a memory lapse. At an annual physical, he mentioned this to his doctor, who said, “we need to check this out.” Without immediate concern, Gill had an MRI. The doctor verified that Gill had a brain tumor, and performed surgery to remove the tumor.

What was amazing is that Gill had a morning surgery, and was sent home that same evening.

Following the surgery, the diagnosis was stage IV brain cancer, identified as glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of cancer without a known cure. At the end of May 2018, Gill started radiation and chemo treatments. He completed six weeks

of 30 radiation treatments with a combined nightly chemo drug. He kept his “loved ones,” his handball guys, informed of his progress. However, these treatments did not seem to be working. During this time, he continued to come to MAC and gave no signs of what he was going through. His attitude remained friendly and positive.

On Aug. 1, 2018, Gill lost his main supporter and love of his life, Faith, his wife of 61 years, to kidney failure. The handball players remember Gill always leaving the court early, so he could get home and care for her. He said Faith’s last wish was “for me to get well.” He added, “and I continue to honor that.”

In September 2018, Gill was honored with the Cebula Award, MAC’s most prestigious handball award, for not only his many handball achievements, but equally as important, for the contributions and efforts he has made to MAC handball over the years.

Gill returned to the handball court in late September, playing doubles in the fall intramurals with his friend Dr. Ed Grossenbacher.

In October 2018, following a brain scan, Gill was diagnosed again with a second

brain tumor. The chemo treatments were immediately stopped. The doctor wanted to do surgery, but Gill first requested a second opinion. The second doctor, certified in neurological surgery, didn’t recommend surgery at this time. He felt it might be “too much of a risk for a poor result.” The doctors decided to try another drug, which would be delivered by infusion at the hospital.

Before Gill’s eighth brain scan in January 2019, he became anxious. The first seven were not good news. He addressed his own mortality. Fortunately at his next appointment, he was greeted with a big smile on the doctor’s face. He said, “Good news, the second cancer has not grown.” Finally a treatment was working.

So what is Gill doing now? He usually can be found playing handball at MAC on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He also said he’s started to run on off-days from handball. And he is going to Palm Desert to play handball with MAC members who are snow-birding there.

Gill is an inspiration and role model for the MAC handball community, and anyone, to follow. See you in the court, Bob!

From the Archives W

hile some of the programs and classes associated with wellness began at the club in recent decades, such as Pilates (1994), others originated much earlier at MAC. In 1894, MAAC (at that time with the extra “A” for “Amateur”) offered a Turkish bath. The facility and process are related to the ancient Greek and Roman baths and conferred many of the same benefits as a sauna.

By 1910, the bath department featured Turkish and Russian baths, as well as options for massages with soap, alcohol, oil or salt.

The first yoga classes were offered in September 1968.
