n July 31, we said goodbye to Norm Rich, as he served his final day as our MAC general manager. We appreciate Norm’s commitment and service to our club. Norm wrote members and staff a thoughtful letter, Holly Lekas which is available on PRESIDENT our website, regarding his decision to leave. An Open House reception was held on July 25 to thank him and say goodbye. We wish Norm well as he seeks new, exciting adventures. Best wishes and thank you, Norm, for your devotion to MAC! With Norm’s announcement, the Board of Trustees immediately began the process of hiring a new general manager. The first step in moving forward involves securing a recruiter to guide our nationwide search. Next, we have requested a current compensation study to identify the salary range that is appropriate in the market while taking into consideration the unique position the MAC General Manager fills. Finally, our Transition Chairs are drafting a comprehensive plan, which involves input from members and staff. Watch for updates! We are happy to announce that Bob Radler, former Multnomah Athletic Club president, will serve as the interim general manager. Bob is a proven leader who will continue MAC’s progress. His acceptance of this position ensures a smooth journey forward. Bob’s enthusiasm, committee experience, strong leadership skills and love for the MAC are a recipe for success. He will work with the Executive Leadership Team on the day-to-day operations to provide a seamless experience for the MAC community. Thank you, Bob! August, our last month of summer, continues another round of summer camps and classes, special Sunset Bistro events like Paella Nights, and fun times by the Sun Deck Pool. While our MAC families still enjoy summer at MAC and beyond, August also begins the process of getting ready for school. Our student athletes begin fall sport practice, and this Winged M issue includes the MAC Fall Class Guide. Be sure to mark your calendars for class sign-ups on Friday, Aug. 9! Enjoy summer days while preparing for a successful fall. Another summer tradition is school supply shopping. MAC, in partnership with our

Goose Hollow neighbors, participates in the KGW School Supply Drive for local students. We hope to increase our donations this year. Look for collection bins at all entrances through Aug. 29. Let’s make this the most successful year yet. Also, look for the red locker at the athletic entrance for the My New Red Shoes campaign. We are gathering new sneakers for homeless and low-income students. On Aug. 16, MAC is proud to host the Pack for Pride event, where the shoes will be packaged for distribution. These are two great opportunities to offer our young members volunteer opportunities. MAC members continue to make a positive difference in our community with generous giving. MAC members had front row seats watching the Providence Park construction from our terrace. The results are an enhanced member experience — we watch the Timbers and Thorns in a state-of-the-art stadium. Be sure to join other MAC members in our Reading Lounge before Timbers games for a casual buffet. Catering will offer concessions for the Aug. 11 and 25 Thorns games. Our MAC community has a unique opportunity to support our local teams from our “living room.” The Board of Trustees, members and staff continue the strategic plan efforts. Soon the Ad Hoc Member Experience survey report will be completed. The Ad Hoc Facility Access committee continues to seek new ways to manage our limited parking while enhancing our ability to gather data for decisionmaking. The Ad Hoc Membership & Lottery Committee is reviewing categories and making recommendations to keep MAC relevant and ready for our next lottery. Almost daily, I travel to MAC, sometimes multiple times a day. Most journeys down Salmon Street involve stopping at the MAC crosswalk, where members of all ages cross the street. Many members acknowledge and thank stopped drivers. They may not know drivers, but they oftentimes smile, wave or nod. One favorite memory is of a dad juggling three toddlers with three helium balloons across the street. Despite his challenges, he encouraged the toddlers to wave a thank you. Yes, it is the law for cars to stop. But, our members show caring manners by acknowledging drivers. MAC members daily go the extra mile in and out of our club by reaching out to members or staff with a thank you or a smile. We can be proud to be part of a community that cares. Thank you. Enjoy August!

orm Rich has left the club after 13 years as general manager. During his tenure, he oversaw an expansion in member services, upgrades in numerous areas of our physical facility, and development of a stellar staff of employees.

Robert Radler A few examples of INTERIM GENERAL MANAGER the new services and programs include a pre-school rock climbing program, the Sunset Bistro and many new summer camps. During Norm’s more than a decade of service, MAC underwent many physical changes. The significant ones were remodeling of the 1891 area, the 50-meter Pool, the Women’s and Men’s Locker Rooms, the Grand Ballroom, and the Green Gym (which became the Climbing Gym). All these changes in member services and our building would not have been completed without the talented and delightful staff members who Norm helped develop and manage. One particularly impressive area of change that Norm led at MAC was in food and beverage. He brought MAC from a place where members would eat only if they happened to be at the club and were hungry, to one which competes with the best restaurants in town. It was through his efforts that MAC has attracted and retained an internationally respected chef and management team.

The club is in a good place. We are financially secure, and have a strategic plan in the early implementation stage. The popularity of the club to its members dramatically increased during Norm’s time here. Even while membership head count has remained static at about 17,000 resident members, over the last 13 years MAC has seen membership usage of the club increase two to three percent per year. Another measure of the club excellence of which Norm was a part is MAC’s ranking in the Platinum Clubs of America, which is an association of hundreds of the top North American private clubs. Over the past three years, MAC has achieved either second- or third place-status. The club is in a good place. We are financially secure, and have a strategic plan in the early implementation stage. As for the future general manager, we will have a committee looking at all qualified candidates. Marlis Miller and D’Anne O’Neill are leading this search, and have told me that the process is expected to take six to eight months — or until the best candidate is hired. During that time, I will have the pleasure of being the interim general manager. My experience until now has been on the member side. I have served on numerous committees and as president of the Board of Trustees. When MAC President Holly Lekas asked me to take on this job, I really did not want to give up my very pleasant retirement. Yet, I know all of the trustees, and have worked previously with most of the directors; I knew it would be an honor to work with them all on a daily basis. The club is in their good hands.

FACES IN THE CLUB “This last year was phenomenal for me. I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with the right people,” says member Margaret Toppel. At the 2019 U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship in Mesa, Arizona, she came in first in an astounding six events: 50 Free; 100 Free, in which she set a new record; 50 Fly; 50 Back; 100 Back; and 200 IM. “Living in Portland as a member of MAC refocused my swimming goals,” she says. “Aging up to a new age group opened up new opportunities and, most importantly, so did being with the right people. The MAC Masters Swimming family has been instrumental in this year’s accomplishments; they’re a phenomenal group of positive, encouraging and supportive swimmers and coaches.” Each of the events at the championship included 9-19 competitors, making the wins all the more significant. Toppel credits the club community with inspiring her to swim her best: “We have had a phenomenal group of coaches who provide quality workouts, stroke analysis and encouragement. As a senior swimmer, the camaraderie, quality of coaching and competition have made the entire Swimming Masters program exceptional.”

“Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?” So go the words to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, but they also apply to the works of novelist and MAC member Alex Paul. His Arken Freeth and the Adventure of the Neanderthals series recently won him his second award in the form of a first-place finish in the Dante Rosetti Young Adult writing contest.

The OSAA High School State Tennis Championship was held May 17-18 in Corvallis. Junior member Nicole Anderson and her doubles partner, Sonia Shenoy, both freshman at Oregon Episcopal School, claimed the State 4A Girls Double title with straight-set victories throughout the competition.

“I have an excellent review from a nine year old, as well as a gentleman in his late 70s, so I’m getting a lot of ‘cross over’ interest, which often happens with YA books,” he says. The first book to earn him top honors was SeaJourney, the maiden voyage in the series, and his newest achievement goes by the name Tookan Attack.

Anderson fell in love with tennis at age seven, when she took her first group lesson with Carol Sandoz at MAC. Participating in JTT, she also improved her game through regular lessons with long time coach Waldemar Holowetzki.

SeaJourney is available on Amazon as a free kindle download, and has appeared on a number of YA bestseller lists. He anticipates there will be a total of eight books in the series, and is currently working on the sixth installment, The Amarrat Invasion. His wife, member Laura Ross-Paul, creates the cover art for his books, and even inspired his nonfiction work They’re Mine and I’m Keeping Them.

Currently participating in the junior competitive program, Anderson spends her court time with Head Coach Paul Reber, along with latest addition to the tennis family, Coach Marco Piñeda. She says that she owes thanks all the coaching staff for being there for her and fostering her passion over the years.

Six members of the Jesuit High School team that won 6A Boys Baseball State Championship in June are MAC members: Conor O’Reilly, Will Spitznagel, Kevin Blair, James Porter, Mitchell Nee and Joe Angeli. Not only that, but they really had to work for it: The game went 13 innings! Blair particularly stood out with an RBI fielder’s choice in the seventh inning, followed by a single in the 13th to score Spitznagel and earn Jesuit its second baseball state title in school history. The top-seeded Crusaders won 2-1 over Central Catholic. Other MAC members who received awards in Class 6A All-State Baseball include: Tualatin High School senior Kyle Dernedde, who also is a MAC Scholar Athlete, was named First Team Infield; Lincoln High School senior Nick Ostmo was named First Team Outfield; Jesuit senior Angeli was named Second Team Catcher; and Jesuit senior Blair was named Second Team Infield.

CLUB NEWS

In the House House Committee kicks off monthly column with focus on parking rules

t’s understandable that to most members the words “House Committee” conjure up ominous images of Big Brother or secret police. The truth is that we’re members just like you. We volunteer our time because we love MAC. The House Committee has the dual role of being a central champion for all segments of the membership, while also being the primary guardian of the club’s core mission, values and norms. In fact, the House Committee doesn’t actually make any rules at all (the board does that), but we take a lead role in interpreting rules for members, and supporting the club’s staff as they deliver a premium experience. The goal of this monthly column is to provide explanation around the origin and logic of the most important, albeit at times confusing, club rules, and communicate upcoming rule changes to members. This month, we start with parking. We know we don’t have enough of it, and wish we had more. To make use of our limited garage capacity and make it a safe place for all members, the club enforces some simple, common-sense rules. If you respect the rules, your fellow members will love you for it. If you don’t respect the rules, you will face fines. The House Committee reminds you that on Sept. 1, enforcement of parking rules ramps up with a new fine schedule. In advance of those changes, check your knowledge of the most important rules in the garage by taking a short quiz. — Jack Phillips, House Committee member

MAC Parking Quiz 1. Speeding: What’s the speed limit inside the garage? 2. Stop signs: What should you do at stop signs inside the parking garage? 3. Leaving club premises: When are members allowed to park in the garage and leave the premises? 4. Overnight parking: Under what conditions are members allowed to park their cars overnight?

House Committee Monthly Report

5. Taking two parking spaces: When is parking in two spaces allowed?

Answers:

he House Committee enforces rules of conduct for members and guests by investigating infractions and recommending sanctions to the Board of Trustees. Recent board actions are listed below, along with reminders about the applicable club rules.

Rules Reminders Behavior unbecoming a member: Any behavior that is deemed inappropriate for a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, regardless of reference to specific Club Rule. Damaging property/vandalism: Causing or contributing to permanent or temporary damage to club, member or staff property. Including but not limited to, failure to report a vehicular incident

Rules Violation

1. Five miles per hour. 2. Stop (obviously). Stop signs are there to protect other members and help drivers avoid accidents. 3. Members and guests are permitted to park in the Parking Structure only while using club facilities, attending clubsponsored functions or attending an event in the stadium. 4. In the case of an emergency (inclement weather, injury) members are allowed to park their cars overnight. It is also OK to leave in non-emergency situations after alerting the Manager on Duty. (We encourage those who’ve had a few adult beverages to leave their car!) 5. Never. This is common sense, and with new, single white lines being added to the first and fourth floors, it should be much easier.

• A 68-year-old member with 16 years tenure was suspended for six months for behavior unbecoming a member and damaging property/vandalism. The member hit another MAC member’s car in the parking garage and then moved their vehicle to a different parking space. The member failed to report the accident or leave a note

he Facilities team continues to take advantage of the slower summer pace of the club to complete projects. The front of the building has been washed, sealed and repaired; a portion of the first floor ramp in the Parking Structure was resealed and restriped; and LED lighting was installed in the Gymnastics Arena. Additional projects to be completed this summer include the following:

Parking Structure Repair Members spoke, and MAC listened. The fourth floor of the Parking Structure is scheduled to be repaired, resurfaced and re-striped Aug. 5-30. Single lines will allow for some larger spots to help make parking safer and easier. Relocated ADA parking allows for safer access to the clubhouse.

West Pool Maintenance

Handball/Racquetball Lighting Be on the lookout for new LED lights in the Handball/Racquetball Courts. The new, brighter lights replace outdated lighting systems and adhere to national play standards.

Annual Gym Floor Finishing No summer MAC project list is complete without the annual gym floor refinishing project — this year in August. Please check class schedules to see how this project impacts activities.

Sports Pub Dish Room The Sports Pub dishwashing room is under construction to replace the dishwasher, improve the plumbing system and repair leaks. Service in the Sports Pub may be disrupted in August or early September to accommodate this important infrastructure project.

The West Pool will close Aug. 18-Sept. 21 for annual maintenance and replacement of the movable floor. (Yes, the pool floor moves to different depths! This lets activities such as synchro, water polo and water aerobics all use the same pool.)

CLUB NEWS Balladeers Bid Farewell to Fellow Singers

he MAC Balladeers Men’s Chorus lost two much-loved members this year: Bob McKillop and Dennis Muir. McKillop began singing bass with the Balladeers in 2011. As fellow Balladeer Spencer Snow recalls, Bob was “a kind and gentle man indeed. At Wilson High School, Bob was the orthopedic physician who shepherded our daughter through shin splints and other track-related aches and pains. And in retirement, he painted marine scenes and shared his work in the Member Art Show every year.” Muir joined the group in 1985, sang second tenor and served turns as the group’s concert scheduler and music librarian. A fiery ex-Navy lieutenant, Muir was known for startling new members with his attempts to assert order in the Balladeers ranks, breaking through chatter with a loud whistle or shout followed by a devilish smile. Fellow tenor Jay Maxwell remembers him as “a true Balladeer. One of the original good guys, occasionally cranky but with a warm, genuine smile and energy to share. We will remember and miss him.”

In Memoriam Doris Glenna Martin Feb. 20, 1926 – April 18, 2019 Doris Martin passed away peacefully, at age 93, from complications related to diabetes, surrounded by her loving family. A lifelong Oregonian, Doris graduated from OSU, received her master’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Oregon and worked as a researcher at the medical school until she and her late husband, Richard “Dick” Martin, started a family. She was a world masters champion in snow skiing and won multiple national ski races in various age groups. She finally hung up her skis after her 88th birthday at the annual family ski gathering in Sun Valley, Idaho — her favorite place. Her skiing prowess was recognized on the Wall of Champions at the Multnomah Athletic Club, where she was a member for 67 years. A jazz aficionado since her days singing with a big band in college, she and Dick travelled the country to jazz festivals. Forever a sports fan, she loved her OSU Beavers and the Trailblazers, and was an avid golfer and water skier into her 70s. Doris loved her Gibson martinis, having one every Saturday night with her steak dinner, right up to her passing. She was predeceased by her husband, Richard Martin, in 2008 and is survived by her children, Chrys, Keith and Scott and their spouses; her grandchildren, Rob and Stacey; and her great grandson, Blake. Remembrances can be made in her name to the American Diabetes Association at americandiabetesassociation.com.

Among John’s hobbies and interests were cars, cigars, golf and swimming, as well as visiting his sons and their families in California, Virginia and Massachusetts. John also enjoyed coaching aspiring entrepreneurs to help bring their passions and visions to life. John is survived by his five sons and their spouses: John Jay Beaulieu (Vivian), Martin Beaulieu (Nancy), Brian Beaulieu (Kathleen), Stephen Beaulieu (Michele) and Matthew Beaulieu (Nicole); grandchildren, Alex Brenton, Eric Beaulieu, Jay Beaulieu, Natalie Beaulieu, Madeleine Beaulieu, Katherine Beaulieu, Elizabeth Beaulieu, Jack Beaulieu, Sophia Beaulieu, and Lucas Beaulieu; and great grandchild, Olivia Brenton. He was known to his family and friends for his unflagging sense of humor and largerthan-life presence, leaving an unfillable void for all who knew him well. A private memorial service was held in Aptos, California, in July.

and Gamble, Ford Lincoln Mercury, Arthur Young & Co., Evans Products and American Standard. He was known for his desire to try new things and see new places. Over his lifetime he lived, along with his family, in 10 different states. In the last two decades of his life, John was responsible for managing venture capital opportunities for the state of Oregon, and then finally as chairman of Westport Innovations, a technology startup based in Vancouver, Canada. He remained employed there until his retirement at 82 years of age. He had an indomitable spirit and a love for business.

Following graduation from Augustana College in 1949, he began a short stint as a high school science and social studies teacher. Between 1950 and 1952, he served active duty in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.

1956. It was in Chicago that Bob met his future wife Alice Wilson, whom he married on Feb. 14, 1957. Bob pursued his orthopaedic surgical residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, from 1957 to ’62, then made the move West to begin private practice. Bob and Alice settled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest City of Portland, Oregon, where he practiced orthopaedic surgery from 1962 to 2005, mostly at Good Samaritan Hospital. Along the way, the couple found the time to have four children: Susan in 1958 (Rochester), Elizabeth in 1960 (Chicago), James in 1962 (Rochester) and Thomas in 1965 (Portland). Besides his strong work ethic and providing for his family, Bob had many interests and hobbies. He and Alice were avid world travelers, visiting much of Western and Central Europe and, in particular, England at least a dozen times. Other destinations included China, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Jordan and travel throughout North America, including most of the major national parks. Bob was an accomplished skier, learning as an adult and teaching all four of his children to ski, initially at Mount Hood, then later at Mount Bachelor. He continued skiing well into his 80s on the Multnomah Athletic Club ski bus with friends. As a MAC member for 48 years, he enjoyed being a member of the Polar Bears (water volleyball team) and Balladeers (singing group). As a member of the Mazamas, a Portland-based mountaineering education organization, he summited many peaks in the Northwest. Bob loved photography and was a talented woodworker, spending many hours in his shop crafting all types of furniture for his family to enjoy. Later in life, he joined the Watercolor Society of Oregon and developed into a watercolor artist, taking classes at MAC and volunteering at the Portland Art Museum. He was a lover of classical music and long-time supporter of the Oregon Symphony. On occasion, he also enjoyed a wee dram of single malt Scotch whiskey, especially from his favorite distillery, Edradour, from the burgh of Pitlochery in the Highlands of Scotland. Surviving Bob is his beloved wife of 62 years, Alice; daughter, Susan (Chris) Gehr; sons, James (Maica) and Thomas (Dana) McKillop; grandchildren, Madeline Gehr, Rachel Gehr, Natalie Gehr, Bryn McKillop,

CLUB NEWS Jack Boileau, Cristina McKillop and Roberto McKillop. His daughter, Elizabeth (David) Boileau, predeceased him, passing away on May 17, 2019. Memorial donations may be made to the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society or the Oregon Symphony.

Monte Robert Shelton Sept. 27, 1933-June 16, 2019 Senior MAC member Monte Shelton passed peacefully in his northeast Portland home, surrounded by his loving family. He was 85 years old. Monte was born in Maryville, Missouri, to Margaret and Melvin Shelton. In 1943, he crossed the Rocky Mountains in a Ford Model A with his parents and siblings, Cliff and Beverly. The family arrived at their new home in Vanport, later moving to a modest residence on Blue Lake in 1948. In the seventh grade, Monte met the love of his life, Susanne Halbrook. He always spoke of riding his bicycle long distance from his home in the Gresham area to North Portland, where Sue lived with her family. They were married on March 7, 1953.

Two weeks after their marriage, Monte was called up and served in the Coast Guard on the USS Bluebell. After his service, he attended Portland State College (as it was referred to then) and earned a degree in education. However, his plan to become an elementary school teacher was altered forever. To support his wife and new baby, he took a part-time job washing cars at a used car lot and discovered his affinity for buying and selling them. Monte had many passions, including flying his planes and fishing, but racing cars was at the top of the list. During his career, he competed in the Daytona 24 Hour race 11 times. Locally, he won the Rose Cup race seven times, the last time at age 72. Another favorite race that he especially enjoyed was the Maryhill Loops Hill Climb. On the other side of the pond, he loved participating in the London to Brighton Run. And every summer, for 30 years, he looked forward to the Monte Shelton Northwest Classic Rally.

Monte belonged to a variety of automobile clubs and organizations. He also belonged to MAC and the Arlington Club, the former for more than 20 years. He was devoted to exercise and set records for the Decathlon in his age categories. He said he would miss his friends and the camaraderie he felt there. Above all, Monte was a family man. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Susanne; children, Jamie Martell (Ron), Monte “Neil” (Cathie), Anthony, and Darla Krieske (Brad); grandchildren, Kacia Bundle (Matt), Brooke Kaylor (Glenn), Elliot Hansen (Ashley), Melissa Salazar (Alex), Montgomery, and Mary McCarthy; six great-grandchildren; brother, Cliff (Nancy); and nieces. Remembrances may be made to OHSU Knight Cancer Institute for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment. Continued on page 19

He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame for accomplishments in motor sports in 2004, and into the World of Speed NW Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2017.

CLUB NEWS In Memoriam Continued from page 17

John Don Gray Wallace Oct. 7, 1941 - June 27, 2019 John Don Gray Wallace, 77, of Portland, passed away peacefully surrounded by family June 27, 2019, after a battle with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. John was a generous man with an old-world charm. Always eager to laugh, he brightened the room and was a positive influence in many lives. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, to Don Gray Wallace, a fallen hero of the Royal Air Force, and Margaret Taylor. At the age of 18, he traveled to Canada and then to California, where he decided to stay in the Bay Area and build a life. John attended the University of California at Berkeley, ran his jewelry business in the Bay Area and his rice dryers in Arbuckle. He was always the first to tear up the dance floor. With the love of his life at his side, he even took first place at the dance contest in Hawaii. John excelled at ice hockey and was often outdoors enjoying skiing, golf, sailing, horseback riding and tennis. He also loved to coach, and after moving to Oregon in 1990, he became an instrumental part of the soccer community in Portland. Although he was awarded Metro Coach of the Year twice, his true reward was knowing he made a lasting impact on young athletes’ lives on and off the field. Loving husband, father and granddad, he is survived by his wife of 43 years, Sherry “Shay” Wallace; children, Duncan (Liz), Jason (Mari), Jacqueline ‘Michelle’ (David), Shelly (Jim) and Tyler; and the grandchildren who meant everything to him: Brandon, Madison, Maggie, Alex, Elsie and one arriving later this year. His family and friends are left with special memories of a great man. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be sent to the American Stroke Association, strokeassociation.org.

Executive Chef Boulot connected with a small cheese producer, Pascal Affinage, when he was in Tillamook recently for a collaborative dinner. Owner Patrick Lee was inspired to create his alpine-style cheese while making Comté in the Jura region of France. Lee makes all of his cheese by hand, and ages it a minimum of six months before he considers it ready for sale. The result is a nutty, savory and silky smooth product that pairs with any floral IPA, dried dates or apricots. Look for Affinage cheese to be featured in 1891 this fall.

OME!

MAC offers many fun ways to fall into the school year By Jake Ten Pas

he start of the school year is always bittersweet. As much as you might look forward to the adventure of new classes, classmates and teachers, there’s always something sad about saying goodbye to summer. That’s especially true when you’ve spent the season having a blast at MAC summer camps and classes! The great news is that the club has created an airlock of sorts, designed to help kids repressurize as they move from the wide-open spaces of summer to the enclosed cabins of the spaceship U.S.S. Education. From a robust schedule of after-school classes to fun-filled Family Fridays and Junior Dances, new tutoring sessions for students to a cornucopia of competitive sports, MAC makes going back to school just a bit less jarring. Grab your magic wand, volleyball, paintbrush, pencil or pizza slice, and get ready to have the best fall ever with your friends in Youth Programs.

Gotta’ Get Down on Friday Younger kids might be more likely to interact with “Teacher Matt” Caputo or any of the club’s Playschool instructors than Recreation Supervisor Jeremy Boyd, but as his job title implies, he’s here to ensure sure that good times are had by all.

TIM GUNTHER

Greg and Megan Egan at Family Friday

Boyd brought eight years of experience with the Tualatin Hills Park District to bear on his position at MAC, and it’s helped him to carry the torch passed on by his predecessor, Lauren Allison. “At the parks district and at MAC, it’s all about the relationships we build with the kids and their parents, and getting to know them over the years. Each child is different, and they’re just such characters,” he says. While he moved into his current position in February, at first he was mostly overseeing the execution of Allison’s plans. As spring turned into summer, he got to know the club community better. Now, Boyd is excited to combine his own expertise and experience with what he’s learned at MAC to bring a new flavor to the upcoming season of Family Fridays, which kicks off Sept. 20 with a volleyball theme.

This year, Halloween at MAC is packed with fun for junior members of all ages. The Oct. 25 theme is Carn-Evil, and it will be shared by Family Fridays and that night’s Junior Dance. Members who are afraid of clowns have been warned but can take solace in the coinciding — and 100% creepy-circus-character free — Kiyokawa Apple Harvest and Mporium Trunk Show. For the member who has yet to experience the chaotic joy of Family Fridays, they take place most weeks from fall to spring and feature pizza; arts and crafts; beer, wine and soda; activities for the whole clan; cookies, candy and other desserts; and some of the best bounce houses in town. “It’s a place where the parents and kids can come and just have fun and relax,” Boyd says. “It seems like a huge family gathering of all these friends at MAC, which brings in the sense of community.”

“This year we’re really starting out with a lot of the sports themes, and those ones are more interactive with the kids because

the departments bring their staff in and run their sport,” he says. “Between volleyball, gymnastics, pickleball and basketball, we start out with four pretty fun sports programs, and then we go into our Halloween Family Friday in October.”

More Bounce to the Ounce This year, Youth Programs has acquired several new inflatable structures: a carousel, a wacky maze and a jungle safari, with a UFO and a big surf slide coming this spring. The maze and carousel already have been unveiled, and if the kids’ reaction at a recent day of summer camp is any indicator, they’re big hits. “Every year we always refresh all the toys. Whether that’s the little ride-alongs, soccer balls, inflatables or play structures, there’s always something new,” says Early Childhood Supervisor Kristin Bielecki. Jeremy Boyd

Matt Caputo

She and Youth Program Lead Attendant Amanda Parker have teamed up to revamp Indoor Playground, changing the layout to ensure safer sightlines, maximizing the placement of the play structures, and creating new areas in which kids can frolic. Caputo also acquired new equipment for his 45-minute fitness class, which many parents add on to the end of their children’s Playschool days. “We’re always looking for new ways to keep kids moving and active,” Bielecki says. “We just really love the kids’ excitement. We’re their first experience of classroom settings, and our part is to make learning fun in any way, shape and form that we can.” Watching a group of 5-10 year olds scramble, spring, weave and climb their way through the wacky maze, it’s obvious that fun is the least of their worries. As they interact, help each other up, and jovially compete, MAC’s club culture of sportsmanship is evidenced even in its youngest members. Bielecki and Boyd both continue to find new ways to add value for kids and teens at the club’s educational and recreation offerings. For the youngsters, this takes the form of the Playschool Enrichment Program, which adds a monthly athletic exploration component to each day’s classes. Blueberries, Cranberries and Huckleberries rotate through offerings in the FitZone, Climbing Gym, dance studios, swimming pools and more from fall through spring.

Meanwhile, Boyd is proud to present new learning enhancement options for tweens and teens in the form of sessions by local company Tutor Portland from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday, Sept. 18 to Nov. 20. The motivation for this stems from Boyd’s time with the park district: “One of the most frequent questions parents asked when they picked up their kids was, ‘Did they finish their homework?’ I see kids having fun in the junior lounge playing video games or on the T-Wall in the FitZone, but I want to make sure that MAC is promoting a healthy balance of electronics, fun and finishing schoolwork. Plus, it offers a time for parents to get a workout in or grab a bite to eat while their kids are getting help with their assignments.” “For the kids, theoretically, if you come to MAC and get all your homework done, you can go home and watch or do whatever you want there!”

First Class For those whose idea of fun is more “hocus pocus” than “hit the books,” there’s a new fall class Boyd suspects will cast a spell. In Harry Potter Class, kids ages 7-12 create magic wands, secret maps, spell books, potions, coats of arms and more. It’s a chance to keep the fantastical, imaginative elements of summer going during the school year, he says. Another new class offering, also for 7-12 year olds, is Creative Art & Design, which delves into the techniques of Spanish, French and German artists, and then allows attendees to unleash what they’ve learned. Create a Trojan shield, a Roman monster, a Spanish princess and other works that can be taken home and framed. Both classes are offered by MAC member Anamaria Beard, who has taught at a variety of public schools around Portland.

Some kids find relief from the rigors of returning to school in the sweat, competition and camaraderie of team sports at MAC. The club offers so many ways to compete, and a number of tryout and evaluation opportunities are coming up this fall including: basketball, tennis, synchronized and junior swim and climbing. Fifth grader Eloise Rush is one such athlete hoping to make the team, and this year she aspires to take her game to the next level on the volleyball court. Already deep in the club’s Aquatics program, Rush has dipped her toes into a number of other offerings via camps and classes, including climbing and ski, and she also plays soccer outside of MAC. Over the past year, however, she’s been practicing volleyball with her friend Marley Gibson, and is now ready to put her steadily improving skills to the test. “Every day during the school year, we just grabbed a volleyball and passed for an hour or two. When the net was up, we’d pass over it,” she says. By going to camps over the summer and attending Volleyball Open Gym, she steadily improved, and took every piece of advice she got from the club’s coaching staff. “When I hit the ball, I would jump up, but then the coaches started telling me not to do that. It just helps you get better when somebody’s watching you and giving you tips.” With an improved stance, greater awareness of her footwork, and countless hours spent peppering, Rush is ready to try out for MAC’s team on Sunday, Nov. 3. When asked if she’s excited or nervous about this opportunity, she says, “I’m a little bit of both! It’s really fun to just play volleyball, but I’m nervous I’m not going to make the team. But when the coaches asked, ‘Is anybody really interested in joining the team?,’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I want to do it!’”

has created around its competitive sports. “What I love about MAC is that you have the opportunity to expose kids early to a lot of different things, and camps are a really good way to try stuff on.” He also cites the recent Swim Team Banquet as a way to encourage ongoing participation. “The ceremony part of it is something I appreciate. Celebrating successes and seeing the maturation of the athletes through the program provides motivation to the younger athletes, so that you can see an end point. Eloise’s was a fantastic recognition for her attitude and effort in the program. It’s a thoughtful and very team-oriented piece,” he says. For now, Eloise’s eyes are cast firmly forward. Between now and November, she’ll focus on setting with her fingertips, not “the top of my nails,” practice keeping her feet on the ground, and diving when necessary. “Everybody is just super supportive, and they’re all really humble about everything,” she says of the community she hopes to join more deeply. “Besides helping me to improve my volleyball skills, it’s really the encouragement that I appreciate.” However MAC juniors feel about going back to school, there’s plenty at the club to either enhance the fun, or take their minds off the transition. From athletics to classes to socializing, the club is a place for a kid to be a kid, even while working toward becoming an excellent adult. WM

Willamette Valley Vineyards

Grapes, Wine and Good Times Soak up the last rays of summer sun at Willamette Valley Vineyards, and stomp some grapes

illamette Valley Vineyards has made a tradition out of hosting one of the largest grape stomp events in Oregon. Every September, going back 28 years, the vineyard invites the public to a stomping event where pairs compete to win an

all-expense-paid trip to participate in the World Grape Stomp Championship in Santa Rosa, California. “Our Grape Stomp event has become a tradition at the winery and people from all over the country come to participate,”

Founder Jim Bernau explains. Attendees are invited to compete in teams of two (stomper and swabbie). Swabbies hold the barrel and catch the grape juice while the stomper crushes the wine grapes. This year, Willamette Valley Vineyards also is hosting a private grape stomp on Saturday, Sept. 14, for MAC members ages 21 and older, and their guests. Attendees can enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the winery and try out their stomping skills. A charter bus will leave MAC promptly at 1 p.m. and return at approximately 6 p.m. The cost, $50 per person for members and $55 for guests, includes transportation, a tasting flight of five wines, light appetizers, grape stomping and a $10 credit for any wine purchased at the vineyard that day.

Bocce & Bubbles A warm summer morning is a great time for an outdoor party

he Early Birds’ annual Bocce and Bubbles event has gone through multiple evolutions over the years, but community and fun are constant. What began as Horseshoes & Chardonnay Smoothies at Duniway Park, morphed into Bocce & Chardonnay Smoothies, organized by Cindy Moody and Sandy Poe-Bacon, at the Park blocks. Then, in 2018, the name changed to Bocce & Bubbles and venue was moved to Pomarius Nursery, where the owners not only opened early, they offered the Early Birds a discount on their plants. This year, the event has moved to a new venue — Portland’s Black Box building at 200 Market Street — with amazing bocce ball courts in an off-street setting. Join other early exercisers, 5:45-6:45 a.m. Friday, Aug. 9, for a chance to play (or learn) the centuries-old Italian game of bocce. To make the party extra enticing, the Early Birds are serving coffee and snacks, in addition to bubbly. Walk, run or ride to this early morning event! No registration necessary. Early Birds host an morning event nearly every month of the year. Watch for events celebrating Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Oktoberfest, Halloween and Thanksgiving, plus an Ice Cream Social, Community Warehouse spring fundraiser, pickleball games and more!

EATING WELL

Take the Fiber Challenge

any people don’t know that fiber, which only comes from plant-based foods, feeds the beneficial bacteria in the GI tract. This means that the lack of fiber (from shunning whole grains and other healthy carbs such as beans, fruits and veggies), will leave one’s gut biome out of balance. The recommended minimum is 25-40 grams of fiber per day, but Americans consume less than 20 grams per day! Try the fiber challenge. Try consuming 40 grams of fiber a day for 40 days and see how you feel. Here’s a way to start.

Stir-Fried Chicken and Eggplant with Basil Serves: 4 (1/2 cup servings) Ingredients 1 pound Asian eggplant, diced salt to taste 1 tablespoon ginger, grated 1 serrano chili, stemmed and minced 3 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar Freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and dried, cut into small dice, or 1 pound lean ground turkey 1 cup basil leaves, roughly chopped

42 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2019

Preparation 1. Salt the eggplant generously and leave in a colander to sweat for 15-30 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients. Then, rinse and drain on a clean kitchen towel. 2. Finely grate the ginger and sprinkle it with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix the ginger and the chili in a bowl, then add the garlic and mash. In separate small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Set aside. 3. Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, turn the heat down to medium-high, and add the ginger chili garlic mixture. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, and add the chicken. Stir-fry for three to four minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no traces of pink remain. Transfer from the pan to a plate or bowl. 4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the eggplant. Cook, stirring, until the eggplant is lightly browned and almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir the chicken back into the pan, and add the soy sauce mixture.

5. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the wok or pan, and turn the heat down to medium and steam for five minutes. Uncover, and stir in the basil leaves. Stir for 30 seconds to a minute, remove from the heat and serve with rice. (I prefer brown rice for an extra boost of fiber and B vitamins.) Nutritional information per serving (excluding rice): 20g carbs, 15g protein, 8g fiber; 10g fat; 230 calories

Members Keep Fast and Furious Sports in the Family Racquetball and handball forge extreme bonds for Wainwrights, Lees By Jake Ten Pas

he term “extreme sports” seems selectively applied at times. Yes, hang gliding, cave diving, and mixed martial arts have higher degrees of risk to life and limb than American handball, but just try telling Brian Lee that his sport isn’t “extreme.” “If you’re playing singles, there’s two people in a cement box with leather gloves and a ball that’s really hard travelling really fast. You can’t get much more barbaric than that,” he says. “I mean, they play handball in prison!” While racquetball might not involve the formation of tree-barkthick callouses on the palm of one’s hand, Lee is quick to point out that getting hit with a racquetball is even more intense than being struck by a handball. “Because that racquetball’s soft, it hits your body, and then it expands, so the bruise you get is something like this,” he says, making a circle with his fingers that appears to be the size of a softball. “A handball is hard, rubber, coarse. It hits and it bounces off, so it doesn’t hurt as bad to get hit, but it hurts your hands!”

If there’s one thing that MAC members have in common, it’s that most of them love “their sport” the best. The Lees are no different, and Brian’s son, Gage, and dad, Steve, can elaborate on handball’s many benefits and advantages with gusto. Similarly, the Wainwrights, a clan of club racquetball enthusiasts, will wax poetic about their chosen sport, and anybody listening to either family would be hard pressed to argue that their sport is the best. Perhaps that passion is one of members’ defining shared characteristics. When a parent loves a sport enough to pass it along to their kids, that’s a powerful bond. While the love might have flowed the other direction in the Wainwright family, both broods’ commitment to their chosen games reinforce the saying that “a family that plays together, stays together.” MAC’s Racquetball and Handball programs both feature a number of such families. These are just two. Read some choice highlights about others in the accompanying sidebar (page 52).

ATHLETICS MICHAEL PENDERGAST

Speed Thrills Bill Wainwright started playing racquetball sometime around age 7. While his memory of the exact year might be foggy, his reasons for choosing it remain crystal clear. “The pace of racquetball was what drew me to it,” he says. “I got a great workout, and I enjoyed hitting the ball hard, chasing it down and diving.” Bill’s mom, Liz, says she played squash for many years, but eventually decided to give racquetball a try after acting as her son’s chauffeur to and from racquetball games at MAC. “I thought, well, it’s crazy just driving him down here and watching. I might as well start playing! I did, and really enjoyed it,” she says. “I love the people, I love the community, and I love the challenge.” Bill recalls spending at least two or three days every week on the racquetball courts, and says they still hold fond memories of time spent with family. His brother, Daryl, also is a fan of the game, and when he returned from the Navy for a 10-day break, the first thing he wanted to do was play with the family. “I don’t know how many games we played with him, but that was a fun day!” Both brothers got involved with the sport at least partially because of what Bill describes as MAC’s “excellent junior program.” “When I was playing, there were a number of people who were regularly going to National and World Championship events, so I always had great competition. I really grew to enjoy and develop a friend base around racquetball.” He also cites the support he received from older players, his parents, and Racquetball Pro and Handball Manager Hank Marcus as reinforcing the love of his chosen sport. Winning didn’t hurt, either. By age 12, Bill won the U.S. Racquetball Association’s Junior Doubles National Championship along with partner Taylor Knoth, and they would go on to repeat that feat three more times at the highschool level. He also emerged victorious those three years in singles at the number two level (Knoth edged him out for the first-level spot). Like son, like mother. Over the years, Liz also has gotten the taste for tournament-style competition, entering a number of contests at the club. Last year, she stepped to the Oregon Racquetball Association State Tournament, and ended up winning the B level. While she says she kept her involvement with the state tourney quiet because she wasn’t sure how she’d do,

when she entered another one at Sunset Athletic Club, Bill, his wife, Miriam, and their son Billy all came out to root her on and return the favor of her enthusiastic support so many years before. Over the last five years, Liz has teamed up with Bill and Daryl to enter MAC’s Mixed Doubles Club Championship, winning and losing in the final game. Members of the family also have taken part in the Club Championship Singles Tournament and Turkey Shoot, and if they have their say, another generation might join them in friendly competition in just a few short years. Bill’s son, Billy, is only three years old, but he already has his own racquet. It’s

actually a very small, pink tennis racquet, but it does the trick. “Pretty much from the time that he was physically able to hold the racquet, we would have him on the court, bouncing balls for him,” Bill says. “He picked up on the fact that, well, there’s this ball, and there’s the racquet, and I have to swing this at that. The contact wasn’t always there, and that’s definitely something that’s still being worked on, but from a surprisingly early age, he understood the concept.” “He always gets excited when we’re going to MAC. He likes watching me play, and he’s always on the other side of the glass, cheering me on.” Continued on page 52 AUGUST 2019

Value of playing handball together: You know handball is truly a family sport when the whole family is involved and the kids are running onto the courts in between games to practice hitting the ball and having a blast. The handball community is a group of somewhat crazy (at least stubborn) players who enjoy playing a sport that takes many years to master. Wherever we travel in the world, we always are welcomed by other players who enjoy playing the game. We have formed lifelong friendships with people we would have never met otherwise. The Steeles – Mike (dad), Matt, Sean and Kristen (children) Combined number of years playing: 124 Top Achievements: Mike was age group National Champion in 2006 and USHA president for 10 years; Matt was top four in pro doubles in 2014, the No. 2 collegiate player in 2002, Oregon champion numerous times, and state champ for both Oregon and Washington a few years ago; Matt and Sean have won WAC’s pro doubles several times; Sean played pro singles in 2016; Kristen was national collegiate champ in 2003 and played pro ball several years, making the top 10. Value of playing handball together: A labor of love.

The Hard Way If the Wainwrights’ story is one of love, support, and fellowship, the Lees’ is the flip side of the familial dynamic – fierce but friendly rivalry, properly channeled masculine energy, and some of the funniest trashtalking MAC has to offer. In some ways, a father’s primary job is to teach his son how to be a man, and the Lees clearly learned some of their lessons the hard way, on the handball court. “It’s a great way to take out a huge amount of aggression, and within boundaries,” Brian explains. “If not channeled the right way, that could go sideways.” His son, Gage, on the other hand, disagrees with this assessment. “I get mad out there!,” he says. Brian thinks that’s a fundamental aspect of handball.

“Handball teaches you how to handle defeat, how to bounce back. You’re going to play somebody, and they’re going to destroy you, and it’s two out of three. You lose the first one, but are you going to win the second and take it to a tie-breaker?” — Brian Lee “We’re a world of instant gratification. I might not be able to shoot a free throw, but I can be Steph Curry on PlayStation, and I’m really good,” Brian notes. “There’s a huge learning curve to handball, and a lot of people try it once and then say, “This hurts my hands. I’m not coming back! “Handball teaches you how to handle defeat, how to bounce back. You’re going to play somebody, and they’re going to destroy you, and it’s two out of three. You lose the first one, but are you going to win the second and take it to a tie-breaker?” Thanks to Steve getting Brian involved with the game, and Brian passing along the drive to Gage, all three Lees know how to persevere, even in the face of defeat. “Steve has a number of Masters in-house, state and regional titles,” says MAC’s Hank Marcus. “Brian has some in-house and state titles and regional doubles, and placed in the

National Open final, earning him a spot on the Wall of Fame. Gage is new to the sport and using it to help with his baseball and football.” Marcus goes on to describe Gage as “a really good athlete and handball player, who is involved at the club all year long. He’s gotten a bunch of other kids from Sunset [High School] involved in handball, too.” “They’re all pretty nice,” Gage says of the community his father and grandfather brought him into. “I felt really welcomed.” “I highly recommend fathers turn their kids onto handball,” adds Steve, who explains that he was first attracted to the sport because of its fast-paced nature.

“I was working and raising a family, and I needed a quick-energy sport.” When Brian was young and looking for an advantage on the baseball field, Steve suggested that he try out handball himself, advice that Brian passed along to Gage for the same reason. “It’s hand-eye coordination, it’s quickness, it’s footwork, throwing motion, hitting motion and rhythm step. Growing up, it was purely positioned as, ‘Hey, this is going to help other sports.’” It also can teach you how to size up a rival, Brian says: “The first thing you do when your opponent walks onto the court, you see which hand they’re throwing the ball with. If I see that the guy’s right handed, I’m going to hit 95 percent of my shots to his left hand.”

Perhaps most importantly, handball teaches you how to be comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. For any son growing up in his father’s shadow, taking on your old man in a sport can teach you a lot about patience, poise, and even humility. Of course, the same goes the other way sometimes. Sitting across the table from Steve and Gage, reminiscing about some of their victories and defeats on the handball court, Brian remembers the first time he nabbed a win from his father. “Once you beat your dad, he stops playing you,” he says, smiling. Steve starts to reply, and it’s clear that another epic match is just getting underway. WM

Sensei Bill Plapinger and students

Karate Classes for All Ages and Abilities

ver watched the 1970s TV classics Green Hornet or Kung Fu? Or, maybe taken kids to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or walked past a MAC Studio and saw fellow members in white outfits (called gi)? It’s all karate. MAC has offered karate classes since the 1980s. Currently, three levels of classes are held Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 5 to 7:45 p.m. The eight-week Beginner Class, open to students ages seven and older, is a basic introduction to karate with some games and drills to improve agility. The Junior Class has a more structured, traditional approach with increased focus on refining techniques and laying a good foundation for karate practice. (Prior karate experience is necessary.) The last session of the evening is the Intermediate/Advanced Class, which covers all aspects of karate basics (kihon), forms (kata) and sparring (kumite). As the

54 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2019

name suggests, this class demands more discipline and includes more sophisticated techniques and sparring. It is led by head sensei (instructor) Bill Plapinger, who brings more than 30 years of experience in multiple styles of karate. Plapinger is also a fourth-degree black belt and nationally certified referee and judge.

As students gain confidence in the pattern, they begin to learn the application and interpretation behind the movements and their relationship to self-defense. Each class begins with a meditation to clear the mind, followed by a warm up to prevent injury, and a series of basic karate blocks — kicks and punches — to provide a higher level of physical exertion. These moves are repeated slowly at first and then faster, until muscle memory takes over.

MAC Karate Classes (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) Beginner: 5-5:30 p.m. Junior: 5:30-6:15 p.m. Intermediate/Advanced: 6:30-7:45 p.m.

Depending on the instructor’s plans, sparring (kumite) or forms (kata) will take up most of the class time. Kumite includes pre-arranged sparring drills designed to practice both offensive and defensive techniques. Through this controlled practice, known as Yakusoku kumite, participants improve their timing, distance, control and power. After students demonstrate these skills, free sparring occurs to put the drills into use. The most important part of kumite is not hitting or scoring a point, but rather to demonstrate control and correct head-andfoot postures. Kata is a series of offensive and defensive techniques set to a pattern against imaginary opponents. Each kata has a specific number of movements performed in a set order. By practicing the different moves in sequence, the body learns how to use the various karate kihon moves in various combinations.

the art of organization

At first students learn the basic pattern and movements of the kata. As students gain confidence in the pattern, they begin to learn the application and interpretation behind the movements and their relationship to self-defense. There are 43 katas taught, from the novice white belt level to advanced black belt. For those interested in trying karate, a new Beginner Class starts the first Tuesday every odd month. The next session begins Tuesday, Sept. 3, with registration available at theMAC.com. All members are invited to watch any of the regularly scheduled classes: Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Studio Three and Friday evening in Studio One.

Tennis Roundup: City, State and Sectionals

esides their time on the court, another way MAC tennis players enjoy summer is by diving into a good book. A good tennis book, that is. Two recommended by Tennis Committee member Jim Lekas are Late to the Ball: A Journey into Tennis and Aging, by Gerald Marzorati, and Brad Gilbert’s Winning Ugly. “Both are fun and entertaining, while offering a different take to how we play and enjoy this game we love,” says Lekas.

Top of Their Game MAC Tennis continued to have a wide spread of talent competing at this summer’s USTA Sectional Championships: Laura Walker’s 65+ 3.0 ladies; David Bennett/Jim Miller’s 65+ 4.0 mens; Andrew Nilsson’s 18+ 4.5 mens; and Damon Ogden’s 9.0 and Bo Johnson’s 10.0 mixed team. Winning teams have the opportunity to compete in the national championship for their ranking and age later this year and in early 2020.

The USTA Junior Team Tennis (JTT) season has come to a close. It was a great year for MAC JTT: There was growth in player numbers (close to 75 registrants) and a new 12U Green Ball team and enhanced competitive tennis for young MAC players. A huge thank you to parent captains who help coordinate the teams and scheduling. It couldn’t have been done without Saskia Lippy, Dana Reber, Kim Hasle and Tori Paine.

Coaches Corner

Pressure is usually attributed to focusing on a future outcome rather than staying in the moment. Most players have experienced the flood of thoughts that go something like this: “If I lose this point it will be 30-40, and if I lose my serve, I will be down 4-5, and then my opponent will be serving for the set.” This train of negative thoughts, of course, is a train pulling out of the station before that 30-all point has even been played.

An easy start is learning deep-breathing techniques, many of which are the foundation of meditation and mindfulness training. Each inhalation brings new and positive energy. With each exhale, feel tension leave the body. A few deep breaths should help slow you down and get ready for the next point.

Performing Under Pressure Even players who practice regularly, play frequently and are confident with their serves and shots have been in a competitive match where they are suddenly double faulting and their shots are flying out. Welcome to pressure and its hidden control over the game! Tension and stress can turn a tennis match from a fun, challenging event into a difficult and traumatic day on the court. What can a player do to mitigate negative feelings during competition and maximize performance under pressure? A good starting point is realizing every athlete feels some pressure playing competitive tennis. And therein lies the crux of the problem:

56 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2019

So how does one deal with feelings of nervousness? First of all, acknowledge that when one feels pressure and nerves it shows one cares and is engaged in the match. Players who fail to embrace pressure may find ways to exit the match by getting angry or blaming line calls.

Three Cheers for Junior Tennis

Positive self-talk between points can also help focus the mind on the present. Developing a personal mantra or routine to be repeated between points can work wonders. A player can simply repeat something like “stay calm,” “focus” or “stay loose’’ to help focus the mind in the present. As for the serve, try to focus on placement, visualize the corner or the center spot that jams the returner. Taking a little extra time between points is always a good idea when there is a

It’s never too early to start playing pickleball.

Serving: An Important Start to Pickleball

he best thing beginner pickleball players can do is simplify the serve. A consistent serve is the quickest and easiest way to dramatically advance one’s game. Improving overall skills requires on-court practice, but a basic serve is mostly mindset and mental preparation.

face and hold it steady until the serving motion begins.

Unlike the split-second decisions made during fast-action play, the serve is the rare time a player is in total control. A player decides when, where and how to hit the ball. So much of the serve is mental that players can visualize and even “practice” the serve off the court.

Aim

Take the Serve to the Next Level

Take a deep breath and visualize where the serve should land. Hit the ball toward the middle of the opponent’s service area. As skills advance, serve the ball deep to catch the corners of the box. Aim for the opponent’s backhand or try the lob or power serve. For now, just get it in!

While these tips are intended to help beginners develop consistency when serving, players who want to improve pickleball techniques can try adding spin, depth, height and placement of the serve, try different types of serves during play, but most importantly, get their serves in play!

Pre-Serve Routine Grab a paddle and a ball. Then develop and visualize a simple serving routine.

Get Set A pre-serve routine should end with setting the ball against the paddle. The ball should be placed against the paddle in the same spot for every serve. The best way to set the ball is to hold the ball steady from the top, tap it against the paddle

58 | The Wınged M |

AUGUST 2019

It is easier to hold the ball from above before releasing it rather than supporting it from underneath and quickly moving a hand out of the way.

Swing From the Shoulder Follow through the serve with the paddle extended at the end of the swing toward the target. The most important part of the serve is getting the ball over the net. As serving skills advance and become consistent, a serve can be used as an offensive play. Speed and power while serving develop as skills improve. Many beginners try to ace serves or fancy shots, but simple serves

get the ball over the net every time. That is how games are won; let opponents make the errors. Beginners eventually reach a point where serves can be modified, but to start, keep it simple.

Quality collision repair for your luxury automobile.

here’s likely to be an increase in the number of haggard runners in Portland later this month. That’s because the weekend of Aug. 23-24 is the 38th running of the iconic Hood to Coast relay race, spanning 199 miles from Mount Hood to Seaside. Last year, with the support of the Triathlon & Running Committee, 12 MAC members came together to take on the 199-mile foot race. According to team captain Allana Strader, a miscommunication with race officials led to Team MAC being the very last team to leave Mount Hood. This snafu proved to be a great motivator and allowed the dedicated racers to rack up numerous “road kills” (passing other runners on course) and finish in 28 hours and 29 minutes with an average pace of 8:25.

ATHLETICS Stay Strong MAC instructor’s personal experiences shine light on the benefits of Pilates

hen you fracture the navicular bone in your foot (two bones down from the ankle joint) you can pretty much expect the following prognosis: No weight on the foot for six weeks, minimum, and the boot remains on 24/7. The sexy story of how I broke my foot goes like this: While the helicopter hovered over the mountaintop, my snowboard caught the edge of the skid (landing gear), my foot took the brunt of the fall and broke. In reality? I tripped in my new slippers on the next-to-last step in the house. It was late, I was exhausted, and though I was darn sure it was broken, I pretended it wasn’t and went to bed.

Summer Table Tennis Fun Whether it’s called ping pong or table tennis, there’s still summer fun to be had playing at MAC. Thursday night practices from 7:45 to 9:30 p.m. in Studio One are open to adults and kids of all levels. Skilled coaches are on hand to help. Contact TableTennis@themac.com with any questions about upcoming activities and programs.

The next morning the emergency room nurse was surprised I could hoist myself up from the wheelchair onto the examining room bed. “Oh,” she said, “someone with a strong upper body.” This was when I started to appreciate how strong my body

Pilates helped return my body to functioning fully when recovering from cancer treatment a few years ago. is from practicing and teaching Pilates. Strong arms and shoulders, strong core, strong back, strong hips and a strong left leg to lift and lower my body, and to hop and scoot myself while teaching for six very long weeks. One never knows if — or when — an accident will occur. Given the number of people who approached me with their stories of broken bones (and equally innocuous accident stories), it’s obvious how important it is we stay strong. Pilates

helped me regain strength and functionality while I was recovering from cancer treatment a few years ago. Pilates kept me working despite a broken foot, and I practice Pilates for physical therapy — now that the boot is off — to regain complete range of motion and strength. Whether taking a Pilates Reformer private class, or one of the many mat classes, you’ll learn correct body alignment, improve flexibility, and increase stability and strength. Practicing Pilates helps create more efficient movement patterns that may reduce stress on joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments. Pilates enhances overall body awareness, while creating balance throughout the body. My advice: Consider plugging a regular Pilates session into your schedule and stay strong. —Emma Johnson, BASI certified Pilates instructor

AC began offering junior baseball in the summer of 1953, and continued through the 1980s. In the early 1960s, the club fielded teams for the three age-based area leagues, which followed the same rules as high school and college games. MAC youth teams practiced at Portland Heights Park and Duniway Park. Prior to 1953, MAC offered softball for boys. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Luke Sprunger, club archivist
