ne of my favorite things to do at the club is attend the various talks presented by our Wellness team.

I recently took part in Embracing Gratitude as Ritual and, with 60 of my fellow MAC members, took the time to connect with others and share feelLaura Martin TREASURER ings of gratitude.

I was amazed by the number of times people mentioned how thankful they are to be a MAC member, and all of the ways MAC has enriched their lives.

My life has continued to improve every day of my membership, from the moment my family joined the club to my current term as treasurer.

Research supports that being grateful elevates our energy, increases our stamina and encourages connection and good feeling. I’m constantly reminded that MAC is an amazing place to create and experience this energy.

This also is the time of year when countless committees, subcommittees, members and club leaders are furrowing their brows, carefully crunching numbers and asking the tough questions to ensure that the coming year’s operating budget is reflective of all that we hope and need to do in 2018. On your January statement, you will see a 4.5 percent increase in your monthly dues, and it’s important to me and all who contribute to this process that you have a sense of how we arrived at this number.

The annual MAC budget process takes months to complete and encompasses the evaluation and development of all aspects of the club’s operations. MAC’s total lack of debt is the result of a living tradition of fiscal conservatism.

Several factors have contributed to the increase this year, many of which are outside of our control: • In May, voters approved the Portland Public Schools Bond, which will result in significant property tax increases in 2018.

In addition to MAC’s 600,000-square-foot clubhouse and parking facility, the club owns valuable downtown properties such as Block 7, the Design Center and the former Plainfield’s Mayur building.

• Club usage by members increases by 2 percent to 3 percent annually, and we continue to thoughtfully add services and programs to meet this demand.

• Portland’s minimum wage increased to $11.25 per hour in July, and will go up to $12 per hour in July 2018. These increases create wage-compression issues as entry-level employees’ wages move closer to those of more

experienced and tenured employees. Periodic equity analysis and adjustments are key to accelerating pay levels of longer-tenured and high-performing employees to help ensure MAC remains competitive in our local market.

We have decided not to add or drop any programming until the Board of Trustees and MAC’s leadership team have completed a five-year strategic plan in early 2018. Still, we look for ways to control costs wherever possible. Sustainability has been one guiding light in this regard, and our efforts to reduce usage of energy, paper and other resources have already begun to bear fruit. While it’s also worth noting that earnings from outside events contribute to the overall financial picture at MAC, the vast majority of revenue still comes from member dues. At the end of the day, however, we feel that the value of MAC membership remains incredibly high, despite the dues increase.

On a personal level, I’m constantly surprised by the number of ways MAC adds to my life. From the Wellness offerings I mention to yoga classes, from the incredible seafood I regularly enjoy at 1891 to the Walking and Hiking presentations that enrich my view of the world around me, MAC is so much more to me than just a club. It’s my social hub, a place to network and grow myself as a businesswoman, and the backdrop of a significant swath of my family life.

MAC is rated the No. 2 athletic club in the country by Platinum Clubs of America, behind only the New York Athletic Club.

That’s despite having lower dues and broader offerings than our competitors. When I close my eyes and count the ways MAC makes my life better, though, it isn’t numbers that provide the value, it’s the families, friends and traditions that make us who we are. It is my sincere hope that, despite the dues increase we recently finalized, you will continue to join me in counting MAC among your investments with the greatest and most impactful return.

Audited Financials Normally, audited financial information is printed in the February Winged M. This year, the annual report will appear in the March edition. For members who wish to view it before then, printed copies will be available through At Your Service as of the Annual Meeting.

Committee Interest Form One of the first jobs for the next club officers is to appoint more than 600 members to help guide the future of our club. There are almost 50 committees listed in the Committee Interest Form this year. Please consider how you can lend your time and talent to the MAC committee system. The form is available at theMAC.com or with At Your Service and is due no later than Sunday, Dec. 31. WM DECEMBER 2017

his month, we are on the holiday march toward the season’s celebrations.

Spending time with family and friends is meaningful and better than any gift exchanges I have ever enjoyed. Don’t get me wrong, striped Norm Rich GENERAL MANAGER ties and pajamas are great, but family is even better.

I recently watched the movie Burnt, a story about a chef in pursuit of a Michelin three-star award, the highest culinary award any restaurant can receive. Few are ever given out. The United States has a total of 14 Michelin three-star restaurants. I graduated from hospitality school and have watched someone chasing an award fail to cook to perfection on the one night inspectors are in the dining room. There are stories of chefs throwing in the apron to live more normal lives and settling for something less than perfection. The movie made me think: Is the fine dining fascination over? Do people prefer a more casual dining experience in this day and age?

Over the past 10 years we have worked hard to improve our culinary programs at MAC, searching for the perfect balance between fine and casual dining experiences.

Perfection? It doesn’t exist, but we shoot for it every day at MAC. We are the only club in the Pacific Northwest with a French Master Chef and one of a handful of culinary programs to have a James Beard Award winner. 1891 is one of the finest dining rooms, not only in Portland, but on the West Coast. Executive Chef Philippe Boulot demands respect in his kitchen and culinary wisdom, the ability to work hard and prepare the best food with the best ingredients. We are proud of his accomplishments and awards and his zest to be inventive, innovative and to please members. Boulot has trained and promoted chefs who have made it to the top of the culinary world. We are proud of his entire culinary team, which takes pride in every meal they prepare. When time permits, I encourage you to have a great meal in 1891, MACtinis, the Sports Pub or Joe’s. The catered meals in our Ballroom

and meeting rooms are the best anywhere in Portland. Rarely will I promote how good we are, but the movie inspired me to share with you our culinary successes. I know many members have never had a meal in 1891, which is a mistake, in my humble opinion!

Chef Boulot and his team are rolling up their sleeves to craft delicious holiday meals and create new culinary traditions for our members to enjoy. This holiday season, chef and his team are holding a holiday tea for moms and daughters in 1891, along with tea service for everyone each weekend. 1891 will be the perfect place to celebrate all the best things the holidays bring. And if you’re planning to get engaged this holiday season, why not book your wedding, rehearsal or bridal shower at the club?

1891 is one of the finest dining rooms, not only in Portland, but on the West Coast.

On a recent vacation, Valerie and I were unable to fly on our favorite airline, and instead traveled with one of its competitors.

After waiting 40 minutes for our luggage, we recognized how good Alaska Airlines is at taking a negative – paying to check luggage – and turning it into a positive. Their policy is simple: wait more than 20 minutes for luggage to arrive, and it’s free. We try hard to follow a similar philosophy at Multnomah Athletic Club, where we make changes to be more member friendly for the long term.

While change can be difficult, our ultimate goal is to turn something that’s not quite right into something positive, even if we can’t quite achieve perfection.

Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and enjoy celebrating Kwanzaa and the beginning of a great New Year! Resolutions begin on Jan. 1, or perhaps earlier. Our personal trainers are ready to assist members. I suggest that you book early, as the January rush to book trainers can lead to longer wait times. Getting in shape or staying in shape is something we have been very good at since the club’s inception. We get better with time, and look forward to a bright future. WM

hings get hectic at this time of year. Extended social schedules, travel and trips to the mall can bring about a ton of stress. Please make the time to come to the club during the holiday madness. Taking time to exercise can Phil Galvin be the dose of relief ATHLETIC AND WELLNESS DIRECTOR you need to balance out all that is going on around you. Plus, you won’t feel guilty if you decide to have an extra serving of your favorite holiday dish.

Family Fridays I have attended several Family Fridays since starting here in April. What an amazing program. As a father of three, my wife and I spent many Friday evenings at the park in San Francisco with our little ones. What was the goal? To get the energy out, of course! Youth Programs Supervisor Mike Donovan and his staff do a fantastic job at organizing things; I have been so impressed with their efforts.

They are committed to not only putting on a good show for MAC families, but to finding ways to improve the program. Please reach out to him at mdonovan@themac.com if you have thoughts or ideas on how we can make that experience better for your family.

Club Etiquette Reminders I truly enjoy working out daily in the Exercise and Conditioning Room and taking the classes offered at MAC. For those of you who take part in these activities, there are a few Golden Rules of Etiquette. While these might seem like simple concepts, they are often abused in clubs across America:

Group Exercise Class Etiquette Be on time to class. We understand that your lives are busy, but it is important to plan ahead so that you can make it on time. It can be incredibly disruptive to a class when someone comes in late, not to mention a safety concern. We do allow a 5 minute grace period for those unexpected delays.

Be courteous to the instructor and your fellow members. As in all aspects of MAC, it is important for you to remember that you are a part of a club. Please act with courtesy and respect, especially when class is crowded.

Avoid taking equipment from the studios. Instructors count on equipment being in their studio to teach the class. If you need

a piece of equipment, talk to a member of the fitness staff for assistance.

Once the class is complete, be respectful of the next class coming in. The transition time between classes is very important.

Once class is finished, please do your best to put your things away and allow the next class to come in and set up.

Let’s all work together to create a courteous, fun and respectful environment.

E&C Room Etiquette If you wish to text, please step away from the equipment you are using. With the advances in technology, this has become a bigger problem in clubs. It is very important to be courteous to those around you who are waiting.

Please allow others to work in with you while you are using a weight machine or strength component. A common courtesy, working in is allowing a member to take turns with you while you are resting.

Please clear and re-rack your weights​ after using them. It can be frustrating walking up to a machine and seeing that the member prior to you did not re-rack their weights. Please make the extra effort to put your weights and equipment back once you have finished using them.

Let’s all work together to create a courteous, fun and respectful exercise environment at MAC.

Professional Development As we turn the corner into 2018, MAC continues to be focused on the development of our staff. Early next year, our athletic managers will venture to some of the top private clubs in the country to gain new ideas and insights. Like many industries, the club business is constantly evolving and it is extremely important to be educated on improvements and trends. It is easy to become insulated and lose sight of what the rest of the industry is doing. I know our team members are excited to continue their professional growth and to spend some valuable time together. I will be sure to report back about the insights learned and planned improvements.

Please never hesitate to reach out to me if I can help you in any way. Additionally, feel free to stop me in the club to let me know what you are feeling and seeing. Your observations are critical for us to continue to make a better MAC. WM DECEMBER 2017

FACES IN THE CLUB For a high-school student, Emma Wetsel sure seems to have it all figured out.

Whatever she doesn’t know now, she hopes to learn in the future. “I really like the sciences,” she says. “I like knowing how things work and studying them to better understand the world around me.” A climber might call this “reading around,” or assessing a course to determine the best way forward. That’s appropriate, because Wetsel is quite the climber. She recently took fourth place in the Speed category at the IFSC Panamerican Youth Championships, setting a new personal record in the process While she’s not even old enough to have a driver’s license yet, she has some pretty solid ideas of how she’d like to apply her natural curiosity and drive to discover.

Wetsel wants to study environmental engineering, with an eye toward oceanic sciences and climate change. “No one really knows what to do about it yet,” she says.

“It’s about solving the problem at hand.”

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Managing Editor Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.

Last month, At Your Service Manager Kevin Pollack traded his firstfloor digs for the cozy confines of the fourth floor, taking over as MAC’s membership manager. Pollack started at MAC in November 2008, working as a concierge. Within six months, he graduated to the Membership Department, where he spent five years as a member services specialist, picking up valuable skills that will serve him well in his new position.

Pollack spent the past three years managing At Your Service. The lifelong Oregonian is an ardent Beaver believer and Oregon State graduate.

He’s also a Blazers seasonticket holder, and likes to travel and spend time with his family, especially his 9-year-old nephew, Thomas.

What do climbing and mechanical engineering have in common?

“Climbing itself is very problem-solving oriented,” says Brett Walker, who took second place in the Overall Combined category at the IFSC Panamerican Youth Championship in early November. “That’s what inspired me to go into mechanical engineering.” Speaking by phone from Boulder, where he’s currently a freshman at Colorado University, Walker says that he prioritizes his school work and climbing practice equally.

While the latter might be more fun, he’s committed to the future that the former will provide. He’s also thankful for the discipline he learned while on the climbing team at MAC, which can be easily applied to his studies.

Some kids don’t have to think about what they want to be when they grow up. They just know.

So it was for a 4-year-old Natalie Press, whose favorite outfit was a ballet tutu and leotard. After graduating recently from the Boston Conservatory, she was thrilled to be able to return to Portland and accept an apprenticeship from Polaris Dance Theatre. Press got her introduction to dance right here at MAC, first studying under Cami Curtis. When she was in middle school, Laura Haney took over the program, and MAC’s Dance Company became her primary focus, competing only with her passion for soccer. When she entered high school, dance beat out soccer for good, and she’s never looked back.

When the Houston Texans lost starting linebacker Whitney Mercilus to injury, Brennan Scarlett seized the opportunity for more playing time, logging eight tackles and two sacks over his first two games as a starter.

Scarlett played four seasons for the University of California before transferring to Stanford to pursue his graduate degree. He was Stanford’s first-ever graduate transfer, and played his final season alongside his brother Cameron, also a former MAC Scholar Athlete. Brennan came into the club as a MAC Scholar Athlete. The Central Catholic graduate lettered in football, swimming, and track and field during his high school career.

DECEMBER 2017

If you noticed the conspicuous absence of a familiar smiling face on the At Your Service Team, don’t worry.

Rachel Braun is still very much “at your service,” just in a slightly less visible capacity. In October, she moved to the fourth floor and became a Member Services Specialist. “I was ready for a new challenge,” she says, before quickly adding, “But I wasn’t ready to leave. I love the club, and was excited that this new opportunity came up.” Braun says her favorite part of both positions has been guiding new members through the process of getting to know their club. “Seeing that spark when they see all the opportunities that the club has to offer, when they find out about classes and services they didn’t know existed – that’s what it’s all about.”

CULINARY

When the opportunity to partner with his old friend Steven Smith came about, Executive Chef Philippe Boulot decided that the time was ripe to bring his beloved traditional afternoon tea to MAC.

Savor the Flavors of Portland’s Premier Tea I magine that Juan Valdez was a real person, and not a character created to sell Colombian coffee beans. Better yet, imagine that Starbucks, Stumptown and Heart Coffee were all started by the same visionary bean roaster.

Now, substitute tea for coffee, and you’ll have an idea of just how important Steven Smith is to the tea game. In 1972, he founded Stash Tea Co., following it up a little more than 20 years later with the creation of Tazo Tea. Fifteen years after that, he and his wife co-founded Steven Smith Teamaker, taking his leaf of choice back to its roots and giving it a fresh, artisanal spin in keeping with recent trends.

While Smith passed away in 2015, his legacy lives on in his Southeast Portland tasting room and wherever fine tea is served. For MAC members, the current holiday season offers the chance to not only appreciate Smith’s legacy in a wholly new context, but to celebrate a tradition that dates back to the 1800s: afternoon tea.

Bringing back a Portland Tradition Each Saturday and Sunday from Nov. 25 through Dec. 31 brings a new opportunity for the women and men of MAC to appreciate the elegant tradition of English-style Afternoon Tea. Holiday Tea in 1891 also marks a return to form for Executive Chef Philippe Boulot, who pioneered the tradition here in Portland at the Heathman Hotel in the 1990s.

12 | The Wınged M | DEC17_12_15.indd 12

“Everybody should have an afternoon tea break,” Boulot says.

“It’s a great time to sit down and relax, for your entertainment and your soul.”

Boulot first fell in love with traditional afternoon tea while living in London and working at the Four Seasons’ Inn on the Park. He saw firsthand how it brought people together, giving them a window in their afternoon through which to reflect upon the day’s events and share new experiences with friends and loved ones.

“It’s a holiday feeling, a winter experience of warmth and comfort,” he says. Combine it with a day spent walking the streets of downtown, searching local retailers for that perfect gift, and you create something timeless. “You don’t get that experience by ordering through Amazon,” he adds.

After coming to MAC in 2008, Boulot focused on reinventing the dining experience, and for a time filed away his beloved afternoon tea. When the opportunity to partner with his old friend Steven Smith came about, however, he decided that the time was ripe to bring his beloved tradition to his new home.

“Nobody does the classic teas I used to do. It’s time to get serious,” he says. Boulot describes Steven Smith Teamaker as “the most professional, well-researched, high-quality boutique tea brand in America.” He sums up the custom selection of teas the company put together in partnership with MAC Sous Chef Philip Oswalt as “simply exquisite.”

CULINARY cucumber sandwiches, pate maison, deviled eggs, fresh banana bread, MAC scones, Parisian opera cakes, Haupia, lemon bars, fresh marshmallows, and devils food chocolate tea cupcakes.

There’s a Little Sippers menu featuring kid-friendly snacks such as: ants on a log, cheese, salami and hot chocolate. Glutenfree bread also will be available upon request.

“The fresh banana bread is stupid good,” says Chef Oswalt, who also highly recommends the fresh marshmallow as being a real crowd pleaser. It’s worth pointing out, he notes, that the 1891 Holiday Tea is a great deal compared to other tea services being offered around town.

For Boulot, however, it’s less about the specifics, and more about the tradition of afternoon tea, which both harkens back to a more refined time while also managing to somehow defy the notion of time’s march altogether.

“It’s a time to regroup, to share stories, and to compare notes. Think of it as a massage for the brain,” he says. “Me, I like to do it with champagne or sherry.” WM

Attendees at MAC’s afternoon tea have six varieties from Steven Smith Teamaker to choose from, including two of each type: black, green and herbal infusions.

Tea Time Attendees at MAC’s afternoon tea have six varieties to choose from, including two of each type: black, green and herbal infusions. The black teas available are Brahmin, a robust breakfast tea that stands up well to milk and sugar, and Lord Bergamot, Smith’s own take on – and some might say improvement upon – a traditional Earl Grey. Green teas are represented by Mao Feng Shui, a traditionally toasty, creamy blast of antioxidants, and Jasmine Silver Tip, a delicate, fragrant marriage of Asian flavors.

Lastly, Smith’s herbal infusions offer tastes every bit as nuanced as their more traditional counterparts. Meadow is a colorful blend of chamomile, hyssop and Cape rooibos that could easily double as potpourri, and Peppermint Leaves pairs Pacific Northwest peppermint’s naturally refreshing flavor with chocolate notes.

To twist the words of Stan Lee, with great tea comes great responsibility – mainly in the form of providing suitably sophisticated snacks to accompany that perfect

ADMINISTRATIVE Bring 1891 Home for the Holidays

E

ven when you’re not dining in 1891, you can still sip and savor the flavors of MAC’s premier restaurant. This holiday season, Mporium sells a gift pack that highlights the 1891 culinary team’s partnerships with both local vendors and international culinary tastemakers.

The limited run of 50 gift sets includes: A custom assortment of fine teas from Steven Smith Teamaker; 1891 Pinot Noir from Lange Estate Winery and Vineyards; and the Master Chefs of France cookbook, featuring recipes by Executive Chef Philippe Boulot.

The 1891 pinot was selected by MAC Catering Operations Manager and Sommelier Matt Carter, who worked in concert with winemaker Jesse Lange to find a wine that stands alone, but also pairs well with many of the dishes in 1891.

“It’s a near-perfect match with the Applewood-smoked bacon-wrapped venison that’s on the menu right now,” Carter says.

“It also pairs well with the salmon, the grilled rack of lamb, the Carlton Farms pork chop – it’s an incredibly versatile wine.”

MAC’s tea collaboration with Steven Smith was born of the club’s desire to introduce afternoon tea service during the

holidays. Executive Sous Chef Philip Oswalt worked with Steven Smith to pick a classic selection of black and green teas, and herbal infusions (read more on page 12).

The Master Chefs of France Cookbook features nearly 200 recipes from the best French chefs in North America, and would be equally at home laid open on your kitchen

counter as it would be displayed on your coffee table. Boulot has two recipes in the book; including cauliflower vichyssoise with Dungeness crab, and the aforementioned bacon-wrapped venison.

Purchase a package of all three items for $100 in the Mporium. They also are sold separately. WM

Stadium Construction Leads to Road Closures Southwest 18th Avenue next to MAC will be closed throughout much of the winter and early spring for construction on Providence Park. The Portland Timbers are adding 4,000 seats to the stadium as part of a $50 million expansion project. During the closure, traffic will be prohibited both ways on the road between S.W.

Help the Club Honor Fallen Soldiers Are you familiar with the three plaques in the club’s main lobby honoring members who were Killed in Action (KIA) or declared Missing in Action (MIA) while serving in the armed forces? The Ad Hoc Veteran’s Recognition Committee is gathering information for new plaques to include KIA and MIA members who haven’t been previously recognized, and incorporating the plaques into a larger memorial.

A new memorial will honor MAC veterans killed or missing in action.

In Memoriam William Boon Borgeson

Oliver J. Olson III

Aug. 5, 1927-Sept. 23, 2017 Senior family member William Boon Borgeson died Sept. 23. He was 90.

Bill was born in McMinnville to Arthur and Mildred Borgeson. He was raised in Portland, attending Richmond and Fernwood elementary schools and Grant High School.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, while attending Grant, Bill “exaggerated” his date of birth and joined the U.S. Marine Corp at age 15. At age 16, he was part of the invasion of Iwo Jima. During the battle, he was shot and injured by mortar. As he was being evacuated, he saw the U.S. flag flying atop Mt. Suribachi, the scene captured in a famous photograph. Bill was awarded the Purple Heart on Feb. 23, 1945. The actual presentation would take place decades later, as a surprise event on his 80th birthday, by a contingent of Marine Corp Officers.

Bill eventually returned to Portland, finished at Grant, and entered the University of Oregon, majoring in political science. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He spent a year as an exchange student in Nice, France, where he met Yvonne, a French beauty school student.

Yvonne would return with Bill to America and they were married in 1949.

Bill finished at U of O and then earned a law degree at Georgetown University. Bill and Yvonne’s daughter, Barbara, was born in in 1953. Returning to Portland, their son Mark Borgeson was born in 1960. In 1965, Robert F. Kennedy appointed Bill an assistant United States attorney in Portland, where he served until he retired in 1988. Bill married Cassandra Wynne in 2002.

Bill excelled as a U.S. assistant attorney. He increased the prosecution rate significantly in his first two years of service.

Eventually he transferred his skills to civil court, practicing tort law. He loved to litigate in court.

Bill loved to hunt and fish. He spent many summers fishing the Salmon River. He also spent many years hunting duck and pheasant with his golden retriever, Gunner. He was a very good singer, taking part in yearly Cabarets at the Jade West and with the late great local pianist, Herbie Hall. He was a member of the University Club and the Lang Syne Society. Bill is survived by his wife, Cassandra, his children, Mark and Barbara, and his granddaughter, Sophia Borgeson.

May 19, 1933-Sept. 22, 2017 Oliver J. Olson, III, passed away on Sept.

22, in Mill Valley, CA. He was predeceased by his father, Oliver J. Olson, Jr.; mother, Grace Buckley Olson; and sister, Cynthia Marshall.

Oliver was born on May 19, 1933, in San Francisco and lived there until the family moved to San Rafael in 1939. He commuted with friends he had made at St. Raphael’s School to Saint Ignatius in San Francisco for high school, and remained a lifelong supporter of SI. While attending the College of Marin, he was drafted into the Army, spending most of his time in Korea. On his return, he joined the family shipping business started by his grandfather (the Oliver J. Olson Company) and spent time in Long Beach, Eureka, Coos Bay and Portland, before returning to the Bay Area. Ollie served as President of the company before it was sold to a large paper company in the late 1970s. In his retirement, he reconnected with his friend, Susan Gantner, who became his beloved life companion until his death. Ollie helped Susan with the business side of her company, Jordan Press, for many years.

Ollie loved his family and friends dearly and will always be remembered for his generous spirit, keen wit and kindness.

He leaves behind his sister, Elizabeth Brennan (Brian); their sons David (Cynthia) and John (Joanne); and nieces, Kathryn Courtwright (Brad), Elizabeth Ritchie (Mark), and Joanne Hartfield (Barry) and their families. He also leaves behind Susan Gantner her daughters Benicia Gantner (Rudy Samuels) and Florence Zink (Andy) and their families.

Art Zbinden July 8, 1939-Sept. 23, 2017 Art died peacefully on September 23, .

He was a father to sons Robert and John, daughter Amy, and daughter-in-law Beth; a grandfather to Kayla, Nathan, Kimi, Ellie, and Sage; a brother to Jan and Mike; an athlete, skilled fly fisher and tier; raconteur; connoisseur of fine wine and food; a gourmet cook, a friend to many and a physician (pulmonologist) in Portland for over 40 years.

When he wasn’t on a fishing trip, he could usually be found on an exer-cycle at MAC, holding court in the MAC Men’s Locker Room or at River City Fly Shop.

Art’s family came to Oregon from Council Bluffs when he was a young boy.

He attended Parkrose High School, where he played quarterback and was a wrestler.

ADMINISTRATIVE Art married his high school sweetheart, Sue, when he was 18, and enrolled in Portland State University while raising a family and working various jobs.

After PSU, he attended University of Oregon Medical School, where, among other things, he developed many lifelong friendships. Even though short of stature, Art could dunk a basketball and deftly hand out assists to teammates in competitive intramural basketball games.

While interning at Santa Clara Valley Hospital with seven other UOMS classmates, he developed an appreciation for fine wines, especially zinfandel and cabernet, that he collected in verticals.

Art returned to Portland for a residency at UO Medical School in internal medicine.

Following his residency, Art served two years in the Navy at Long Beach Naval Hospital. He completed a research fellowship in pulmonology at UCSF and then returned to Portland.

He practiced pulmonology and critical care medicine at Good Samaritan and Emanuel hospitals.

Art found time to attend UOMS reunions held every five years and complete several marathons. He perfected fly tying of “gnats” and other flies used to fish his favorite lakes and streams in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

He fished almost to the day he died, and caught his first “decent” cutthroat trout in the Siletz River while fishing with one of his UOMS classmates during their 50th reunion.

Art has passed but will never be forgotten by his many friends and relatives. Tight Lines Art.

GIFT THAT KEEPS ON

Giving

MAC Members’ Generosity Takes Many Forms

By Jake Ten Pas During the holidays, it’s easy to focus on charitable acts and see the best in our fellow humans. After all, the holidays are finite; rose-colored glasses can always be put back in the dresser in January. At MAC, however, philanthropic giving and a nurturing a spirit of good is a year-round pursuits, encouraged by individuals and committees focused on missions to “enrich lives, foster friendships,” and get involved in the community.

That involvement can take many forms, from hosting athletic events and donating the proceeds to charity, to collecting goods for donation, to getting dirty cleaning up rivers and trails, to acting as ambassadors to the world on behalf of MAC and the greater Portland community.

This holiday season, as members gather with family and friends to celebrate deeply held traditions and each other’s company, it’s worth taking a moment to meditate on the work that gets done across the calendar to ensure that MAC’s bounty infuses the world around it with good cheer, gratitude, beauty and the hope of new possibilities.

in helping the less fortunate to increase their chances of seizing opportunities, establishing life pursuits and putting food on the table. Every January, they spend the month collecting gently used clothes ranging from business formal suits to business casual khakis and hospitality-industry attire. The committee donates these items to two local businesses that specialize in turning one person’s excess into another’s success: Best Foot Forward, a program of the Julia West House set to become its own nonprofit entity in the near future, and Dress for Success, which seeks to

Best Foot Forward Executive Director Marvin Mitchell says that, thanks to the contributions of local groups such as MAC’s 20s/30s, his organization was able to outfit 642 men last year. “Some of the suits MAC gave are out working right now,” he says.

Best Foot Forward’s emphasis is on filling needs not currently served by other programs, and Mitchell describes its goal as to help proactively prevent chronic homelessness by giving individuals ages 18 to 80 the chance to make a good first impression when applying for a job.

The Julia West House is a program of First Presbyterian Church that serves the local homeless population as a drop-in center and food box. Best Foot Forward got its start when a visitor expressed that he was having a hard time turning his life around due to a lack of business clothes he could employ when looking for jobs.

“To transition back into society, people need a purpose,” Mitchell says. “To have a purpose, they need a job. When they step out of the changing booth, they stand up taller, and sometimes let out a loud exclamation. You can see the confidence.”

When they come back to tell Mitchell that they’ve found a job, thank him for his assistance and, in some cases, receive further help in the form of three outfits worth of starter wardrobe, Mitchell often responds the same way. “The clothes didn’t

get the job, they just gave you confidence, and that helped you get the job.”

Chris Merz, co-chair of the 20s/30s committee along with Allana Strader, describes packing his SUV so full of clothes that he can barely reach the controls located in the center console. For him, it’s the act of delivering the clothes that makes all the work of collecting, sorting and organizing them so rewarding. “Meeting the employees and seeing how thankful they are is pretty amazing,” he says. “But when you’re dropping the clothes off, and you get to see the faces of the people who benefit from our donations, that’s something else.”

Giving Tree Another local organization that has found teaming up with MAC to be a gamechanger is Madeline’s Party. The nonprofit was started by wife-and-husband team Rhonda Warnack and Padraic Ansbro, after the pair confessed to one another that they’d each secretly been giving anonymous gifts to kids and families via local “giving trees.”

MAC hosts its own Giving Tree each year, where members can pick a child’s wish off a branch and fulfill it in order to make the holidays a little happier for those who need such cheer the most.

“It started out very small,” Ansbro says.

“It’s not only blossomed, but it’s become a garden – or maybe a forest!” After operating out of their house and slowly growing with the assistance of groups such as the Salvation Army and the Family Assistance Program, they expanded their operation and began working directly with the Good Neighbor Center.

Madeline’s Party now receives 350 to 400 requests on its website each year, and is able, through its yearly event, to make Christmas possible for 15 families.

The wish lists for family member can range from the practical, such as toilet paper or work shirts and boots, to toys such as Legos, Batman action figures and

Because of MAC giving, Madeline’s Party has been able to add another two to three families to its beneficiary list each year.

American Girl dolls that make holidays magical from a child’s perspective.

Because of MAC giving, Madeline’s Party has been able to add another two to three families to its beneficiary list each year. “The generosity at MAC has been phenomenal,” he says.

Warnack adds that MAC contributes something else a bit more intangible to the organization’s efforts, as well. “One of the biggest value adds that MAC brings is credibility,” she says. Given the club’s longstanding reputation in the community, smaller nonprofits can benefit and grow because of their affiliation with MAC, she explains.

Last Christmas, a young father who’d been shot came to Warnack and Ansbro for assistance when he couldn’t leave his hospital room or pay for a Christmas celebration

John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions Sure, playing racquetball or socializing over early morning cinnamon rolls and coffee might not seem laborious, but the results of properly harnessing these pastimes for good can leave those helped by MAC donations feeling like no effort was spared on their behalf.

Possibly as you read this article, racquetball enthusiasts are descending on MAC in droves in anticipation of the John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions. The event brings together the Tournament of Champions and the John Pelham Memorial Racquetball Tournament into one powerhouse of fundraising for charities benefitting soldiers and their families.

One person who won’t be competing this year is Wendall Pelham, the father of the tournament’s namesake fallen soldier.

THE

GIFT THAT KEEPS ON

Giving

Continued from page 25 While “goofing off” with two of his sons, he injured his arm, preventing him from getting in on the type of action that he once loved to share with John.

“We would play every time he was home on leave,” Wendall says. John’s last Facebook post before he was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan read, “I can’t wait to play racquetball again.”

That love of racquetball has been transformed into a tournament that honors both John’s life and the causes that have become dear to his family since his passing. All proceeds from the tournament go to the Live Like John Foundation, which in turn distributes them among organizations such as the Green Beret Foundation, National Guard Youth Challenge and Military Racquetball Federation (MRF).

“As cocky and outgoing as my son was, he had a soft spot in his heart for the underdog, and helping downtrodden people with grief in their hearts,” Wendall says. “He would have wanted the game of racquetball to grow, and we want to teach young people what service looks like.”

Last year, the John Pelham Memorial raised about $5,000 for charity, and the Tournament of Champions raised another $1,500 for the MRF via its Charity Pro-Am component. With the two events combined this year, Wendall is hopeful that they can raise even more for these worthy causes.

One member of the MRF who’s been looking forward to the event with added gusto is Bryan Dornon, the No. 1-ranked wheelchair player in the federation, and the only sponsored wheelchair competitor in the nation. This year, the tournament will feature a wheelchair division, allowing Dornon to compete, as opposed to only participating in a demonstration.

The John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions benefits organizations such as the Green Beret Foundation, National Guard Youth Challenge and Military Racquetball Federation.

Early Birds chair Alison Rosenblum sells tickets at the annual Turkey Trot to benefit Yolanda House.

“It gives me hope that we can be like everybody else,” he says. As a veteran who has fought hard for the recognition of differently abled players, the John Pelham Memorial represents a huge step forward

not just for the sport and for the causes Live Like John supports, but also for the individuals still fighting their own battles for equality and a seat at the table. Given John’s feelings toward the underdog, it’s likely that this new facet of the tournament is just one more extension of his too-brief life’s many pursuits.

“It’s been a long road, and I’m really excited,” Dornon says. “It’s become an honor to be able to play at this tournament.”

Early Birds Turkey Trot for Yolanda House Much like the John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions, MAC’s Early Birds committee has found its own way to turn tragedy into triumph through its 25-year relationship with Portland’s Yolanda House, which provides emergency shelter and services to survivors of domestic abuse.

The Early Birds’ Turkey Trot takes place the day before Thanksgiving each year, and while it began as a means of collecting items such as toiletries and toys (and small amounts of cash) to donate to the shelter, it’s now grown into the Birds’ biggest fundraiser of the year.

John McDonald, M.D. Medical director, Women and Children’s Services Providence, Oregon Education and training • College: Stanford University • Medical school: University of Wisconsin-Madison • Pediatric residency: OHSU • Neonatal fellowship: CVRI at UCSF/Mt. Zion Hospital

Where did you grow up?

Chippewa Falls in west central Wisconsin.

Why you built your career at Providence I began part time at Providence St. Vincent in 1986 and then went to Providence Portland as an advisor on newborn care. Later I helped establish the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Providence St. Vincent and regional newborn services. Today I’m medical director for women and children’s health. Throughout my Providence career, I’ve been honored to help lead programs that serve our patients and fulfill our vision of serving all with excellence and compassion.

What’s your dream for Providence in Oregon?

I feel strongly that we should never lose our focus of caring for those who are unable to speak for themselves – especially babies and children.

What are your hobbies?

Gardening. I like helping children and plants grow and develop!

To learn more, visit: providence.org/children

What’s a great Providence memory?

Several come to mind: The first time we had seven languages spoken in our new NICU, our work to eliminate the risk of brain damage in babies from jaundice, and learning together as a NICU team to create a program recognized nationally for our clinical quality.

Who were your mentors?

Jane Smith, RN, Greg Van Pelt, Fr. John Tuohey and Nancy Church, RN, are a few who immediately come to mind. I have been blessed with many long-lasting relationships here, with people whom I admire for their kindness and thoughtful service to our community.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

Philanthropy has been and continues to be the wellspring of our innovation.

Many of our initiatives wouldn’t have gotten off the ground without generous donors. The clinicians we attract today want to participate in clinical research – something we could never do without philanthropy. I believe strongly in our philanthropy and have made a commitment to it myself.

Continued from page 27 “At one point they told us, ‘We like the supplies, but we REALLY like the cash!’” recalls committee chair Alison Rosenblum.

She points out that shelters in our area receive six times as many requests for shelter as there are available beds.

During the Turkey Trot, Early Birds members sell tickets for 30 to 40 door prizes, and the money they collect is donated to Yolanda House. Last year, these tickets generated around $1,800, and so the committee pooled personal funds to be able to cut a check for an even $2,000 to a representative of the YWCA at its annual Early Birds Breakfast on Dec. 15.

“There’s a lot of work and cooperation that goes into this donation each year,” says committee member Leslie Van Bellinghen. “The fact that it starts local and stays local makes you feel good.”

She also points out that the average abused woman is likely to return to her abuser five times before she leaves him.

“The need is so great,” Rosenblum says.

“To be able to provide some sense of normalcy, necessities, and creature comforts to families going through that is what the season is all about.”

River Cleanup & Trail Maintenance If the way MAC members care for their fellow man speaks volumes of the club’s character, then so does the way they treat the world around them. At least, that’s the way Outdoor Department Manager Chad Failla sees it.

“We borrow that space,” he says of the natural expanses through which his department guides adventurous athletes. “’Leave No Trace’ is something we teach our kids when we take them out into the wilderness, so it only makes sense that we would live that motto.”

This focus on giving back to nature and outdoor pursuits takes a number of forms

MAC members have volunteered at the Down the River Clean Up on the Clackamas River to reinforce their “Leave No Trace,” motto. at MAC, two of which involve ivy pulls and other trail maintenance on the MAC Centennial Trail and Bristlecone Trail, and member participation in the annual Down the River Clean Up on the Clackamas.

The former involves members taking care of the trail MAC worked with Washington Park to construct starting in 1990. It was finished and dedicated in 1991, and members have been taking care of it ever since. The Walking & Hiking

committee heads up these efforts in conjunction with the No Ivy League.

“A lot of coaches use it as a teambuilding exercise,” Failla says, and it also can serve as a great way for teens to earn community service credit. “Efforts such as this bring a whole bunch of different walks of life together because we all use the wilderness.”

Similarly multifaceted in its appeal is the Clackamas river clean-up effort, spearheaded by local organization We Love Clean Rivers.

Every year in early September between 250 and 300 folks head out on the river in equipment ranging from kayaks to drift boats, rafts to SCUBA and free-diving gear.

The annual Sapporo Sister City Gymnastics Exchange has been helping MAC youth bridge cultural differences since 1987.

Continued from page 29 Swimmers and representative of We Love Clean Rivers. “It’s an all-day deal. People show up around 7 or 8 and get to work on a 20-mile stretch of the river. Then, at the end of the day, it’s a big party!”

That party can include live music; beverages from local sponsors such as Drinking Horse Brewery, Oregon City Brewing, and Happy Mountain Kombucha; food courtesy of Three Guys Grilling and New Seasons; and prizes such as GoPros, dry bags, growlers and more that correspond to awards for “Most Unusual Thing Found in the River” and “Largest Piece of Trash.”

If it sounds like all fun and games, it’s also a well-coordinated assault on the refuse left behind by unconscientious recreationalists. Dumpsters are strategically deposited along the river, and sorting and

recycling are taken very seriously. Last year, participants removed 1.8 tons of trash over the course of the day, and left the natural habitat considerably more pristine than they found it.

Sapporo Sister City Gymnastics Exchange Making the world a better place isn’t always about cleaning up messes or transmuting loss into gain. Sometimes it’s about forging bonds with others that help to open minds, bridge cultural differences, and build the kind of relationships that experiences that change lives.

The annual Sapporo Sister City Gymnastics Exchange is just such an endeavor, and it’s been illustrating the common languages all humans speak since 1987.

“It’s not just about gymnastics,” says MAC Boys Gymnastics Coach Shuichi Goto. “It’s also about culture. It’s not English or Japanese. It’s heart.” Goto and Gymnastics Department Manager Megan Doxtator are in agreement there, as both describe the way sport can serve as a lingua franca between Portland students and their Japanese host families.

“I feel like gymnastics is just the facilitator for this experience,” Goto says.

Over the course of 30 years, 15 exchanges between Portland and Sapporo

have taken place, with MAC coaches and their students traveling to stay with families, sample authentic Japanese cuisine, enjoy live entertainment, attend classes and, of course, compete.

“It’s the most hospitable experience I’ve ever had,” says gymnastics coach Rob Saliski, who went along for the first time this year. “When kids stay with the families, they’re part of the family.”

All three take great pride in the way MAC kids represent not only the club, but also the larger Portland community. They describe their charges as very educated, disciplined and well-trained. According to two of the students who took part in the exchange this year, they’re also extremely appreciative of the opportunity.

“I would say that going to Japan was easily the best trip of my life. It was so much fun to get to know my host family, try new things, and do gymnastics, all with my best friends by my side,” says Caleb Martindale.

“I feel that I made lifelong friends with my host family, and that alone is priceless.”

“It was a very eye-opening experience,” adds Austin Kirk. “I think the SapporoPortland Sister City relationship is amazing and a great opportunity for those who live in the Portland area. One of the reasons we chose the Mac was because of opportunities like these.”

Doxtator puts it all into perspective: “It makes us leaders in the community in terms of gymnastics. Other clubs follow our lead. We’re not just providing opportunities for our members, but for the whole community. Ultimately, anything that spurs an interest in other cultures makes us better world citizens.” WM DECEMBER 2017

Lessons From a Life in the Mountains

tanding at the summit of Mt. Everest in 1994, Brent Bishop began to fully appreciate the accomplishments of his father, Barry, a member of the first American team to scale the world’s tallest peak.

“I had a true glimpse of how strong and bold those climbers were in 1963, a time when there was no simple formula for success and every step on the mountain was gained through sheer will and fortitude,” he recalls. “Their lives hung on every decision they made, with no preordained template to guide them to the summit.”

Bishop was born to climb. When your dad is one of America’s best mountaineers, you start early.

“Our family would live in the mountains of Nepal in a tent for two years when I was a boy, and we have now worked, trekked, and climbed in the Himalayas for over 50 years,” he says. “I simply can’t remember a time when the Himalayas were not woven into the fabric of our family’s life in one sense or another.”

Born in Washington, D.C. in 1966, Bishop climbed as a child with his father on the East Coast and in the Rocky Mountains. He never stopped.

Bishop’s climbing and work as a guide has taken him throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and the Antarctic.

Bishop, one of America’s most accomplished mountain climbers, was the first American legacy to follow in his father’s footsteps and summit Everest, just months after his dad died in a car accident.

Bishop again climbed the mountain in 2002 with a National Geographic expedition that marked the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of the mountain.

National Geographic produced the documentary, Surviving Everest, based on this climb.

Surprised by the amount of trash left on the slopes by other climbing expeditions, he cofounded the Sagarmatha (Nepalese for Mt. Everest) Environmental Expedition, an organization committed to cleaning trash off the slopes of the mountain. Since 1994, the organization has removed more than 25,000 pounds of trash from Everest.

Brent and his brother-in-law Greg Mortenson, the author of Three Cups of Tea, started Pakistan’s first porter training program, teaching conservation, hygiene and sanitation, first aid and crevasse rescue techniques. More than 600 porters have attended the training. The two also began a cleanup program in the Karakoram Mountain Range that is entirely managed and supervised by local Baltis. This is done at a fraction of the cost of foreign cleanup expeditions. Over a period of two years, locals removed a staggering 15,800 pounds of garbage. WM DECEMBER 2017

Thursday, Feb. 22.

Oregon’s military heritage dates back thousands of years, including native people’s warrior traditions. Most of the cultures in this region were relatively peaceful, even welcoming visiting strangers, such as the Lewis and Clark expedition. Then, overwhelming numbers of fur trappers, merchants, settlers and miners began taking over traditional native grounds, leading to eight major conflicts with Army and volunteer forces.

Oregonians adopted militia laws, served in volunteer units, and organized the Oregon State Militia, which became the Oregon National Guard in 1887.

Aney and Hamel draw on long and rewarding service with the Oregon Army National Guard. The cost is $5 for members and $7 for guests.

ACTIVITIES MELLOMACS

The Season of Singing is Underway December is a busy month for the MelloMacs. The group performs at The Stafford retirement home, the Veteran’s Hospital in Vancouver and MAC’s Children’s Holiday Party, where they offers children a chance to sing and dance to holiday classics.

Not that the group was resting in November. The MelloMacs sang at MAC’s Holiday Open House and Tree Lighting and the Veterans Day Recognition Breakfast. The latter was a moving event for both the choir and the audience.

If you are interested in joining the co-ed MelloMacs or have questions, email the chair, Susan Kirschner, at skirschnerdvm@gmail. com.

Profiles

By Jake Ten Pas

In September, Multnomah Athletic Foundation shined its “MAF signal” into the sky for all to see.

The call that went out wasn’t for a caped crusader in the literal sense, but rather for super citizens who make Portland a better place to live with each selfless action they take.

The nominations began flying in, and a picture emerged of a Justice League-esque assortment of do-gooders worthy of a comic book cover. Come October, MAC honored these super members – and one employee - as part of the event “Everyday Heroes: Lights, Hope, Action.”

What follows is a series of snapshots of these unmasked men and women, as well as a tiny taste of what inspires them to continue to fight the good fight:

CHANGING OUTCOMES

Every day, people pass other human beings on the street who seem to have problems too big to be solved. What makes Peter Northrup special? He stops and tries to help.

In his nominations for Everyday Hero, compassion is mentioned again and again. Whether donating to charity, giving young professionals a chance to shine, or going above and beyond to help those who’ve slipped through the cracks, Northrup doesn’t seem to know the meaning of the word “indifference.”

“I look up to people who do things for the majority of people who have no voice,” he says.

“It bothers me that people are forgotten.”

Perhaps the best illustration of this is one of the examples of his generosity offered as part of his nomination: “Pete saw a homeless man with a disfigured face on the street outside his Portland business. He called his contacts on the OHSU Board and arranged for the man to have free plastic surgery so that his eyes would be functional and he could see.

Pete, his wife and his employees visited the man in the hospital and brought magazines, candy and the like. The surgery was a success!”

When not springing to the aid of the disadvantaged, Peter runs Northrup Corporation, which specializes in corporate insurance

46 | The Wınged M |

DECEMBER 2017

and risk management. When asked about any similarities between what he does for a living and what he does to improve the lives of those around him, he’s typically humble. “I’ve seen people have tough outcomes with issues that aren’t their faults,” he says. “I think, ‘there but for the grace of God go I.’ Plus, helping people makes me feel terrific.”

EDUCATION IS KEY

Kali Thorne Ladd also is motivated by “Advocating and bringing a voice to people who don’t have a voice.” As executive director for KairosPDX, it’s her professional mission to help level the educational playing field, increasing equity and access for underserved communities.

“I feel like what I do is bring their voices to the table,” she says.

Evidently, this drive has resonated with her fellow MAC members. Her nominations mention not only her leadership at KairosPDX, but also her service on the board at Portland Community College, her policy work at the Oregon Department of Education, and her design and implementation of programs while working for the mayor’s office.

For Ladd, it’s all part and parcel of a fundamental belief that “education is key,” and that it can be “a game changer, altering a person’s whole trajectory in life.”

Profiles

Continued from page 46 Still, Ladd is sheepish around awards, and quick to redistribute praise to those around her. “It’s not me alone. I’m part of systems and communities. I am adding value, though.”

If this sounds like an understatement, consider the words of one of her nominators: “All of this work she has done consistently includes the theme of equity and inclusion. These are terms that are bantered about in many a public presentation or speech, but to Kali these are action words … Her work directly applies to all she does.”

Or, as Ladd herself says, “If Portland’s going to be the community we want it to be, we need to educate all.”

FILLING FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS

Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard during his sophomore year and the rest, as they say, is history. Nadya Okamoto is currently in her sophomore year at Harvard, and she’s working hard to make “her-story.” Her passion project might not be the cash cow that Facebook is, but if she’s successful, it will make the world a better, more connected place.

That project is PERIOD, a global organization providing and celebrating menstrual hygiene through advocacy, education and service.

Since its founding in 2014, the nonprofit has addressed nearly 110,000 periods, registered more than 100 campus chapters, and opened offices in Portland and Boston. She even was invited to give a TEDx Talk on the subject!

Okamoto also is the co-founder of E Pluribus, a post-partisan media platform that engages young people in discussions around issues that are important to them, pushing them to take action.

Of her Everyday Hero award, Okamoto says: “It’s a meaningful way to step back from all my work and say, ‘Maybe I am making a difference. I do this work because I believe in the advocacy of it.”

Her heroes include “fighters for reproductive freedom” such as Wendy Davis, she says, but her biggest inspiration is her mother, who sacrificed, worked multiple jobs, and helped her family to heal while they were homeless during Okamoto’s high-school years.

That experience, and her lack of access to basic domestic necessities inspired her to start a charity to help others who might similarly be struggling with fundamental needs.

LIVING TO FULL POTENTIAL

“I get the privilege of being in charge of a huge philanthropic program and doing a lot of good work in the community,” Tracy Dannen-Grace says, somewhat downplaying her inner drive to do good as a byproduct of her career. Push a little deeper, and you

48 | The Wınged M |

DECEMBER 2017

quickly realize that there’s a reason Kaiser-Permanente Northwest made her Director of Community Partnerships and Philanthropy.

One day, while shopping for a fit band for her husband, she recognized the Nike sales clerk who was assisting her as a former Kaiser intern. That former scholarship recipient was blown away at being remembered, but quickly recovered and filled Dannen-Grace in on the struggles she was currently facing in dental school.

The result? As her nominator says: “With her belief in me, I was able to again become an intern with Kaiser Permanente, leading me into a full-time job to help support myself as I went through the dental application process, as well as meeting amazing leaders through her connections. My life changed for the better with Tracy in my corner. I cannot wait to repay her for her time by paying it forward to my community. She inspires me every day!”

That two-time intern is now in her third year of dental school and, to borrow Kaiser’s signature verb, thriving. For her part, Dannen-Grace also seems to be right in her element. Ask her what she considers to be heroic, and she inadvertently describes herself when she responds, “Inspiring others to make change and to live to their full potential, mind, body and spirit.”

RAISING AWARENESS

Say the name Eileen Shattuck to just about anybody at Children’s Cancer Association, and you’re likely to be met with voluminous praise or possibly just squeals of enthusiasm. Not only is she well known as a Chemo Pal, but she and her husband also have offered up their Bridge City Paddling Club as both a facilitator of team-building experiences and a human-powered fundraising engine.

“Eileen stands out to me as a hero because of her tireless efforts to raise awareness for the Children’s Cancer Association, as well as her relentless giving to the Red Cross,” says fellow MAC employee Matthew Carter. “Eileen donates her blood and platelets as often as the Red Cross will allow her, which is about 20 times a year!”

Shattuck, an accounts payable specialist in MAC’s Business Office, also takes the Polar Plunge every year and volunteers at the Oregon Food Bank, and says of her Everyday Hero award that, “It means everyone can do more in the community.” She’s found that most folks are willing to volunteer if given the opportunity, and so she tries to give as many of her friends and coworkers as possible a gentle nudge toward getting involved.

She credits her mom, who raised 10 kids between the ages of 1 and 14 on her own after her husband passed away, with being her hero. She also is inspired by her former Chemo Pal, and seems to take great energy from being around young people in general.

Although, to hear her tell it, it’s the other way around. “Kids gravitate to me. I’m basically a 6-year-old at heart.” WM

“We really wanted something bright and sparkly, and snow is just perfect for that purpose. It’s one of those special, magical things here in Oregon.”

– Bridget Connolly, Holiday Decorating co-chair

Holiday Decorating co-chairs, Bridget Connolly, Zita Nyitrai and Kitty Emery each bring their own skills to this year’s playful theme, Let it Snow.

Count on Decorating Committee to Let it Snow!

Y

ou can’t count on Oregon weather from one minute to the next, but you can count on the MAC Holiday Decorating Committee to deliver year after year. Even when the theme is all about the weather, such as this year’s “Let It Snow,” the first flakes fall like clockwork the morning after Thanksgiving.

While many are battling Black Friday crowds for deals on gifts, the HDC is busy transforming its beloved club into a visual present for all who walk through its doors.

Even if they make it look easy, the hard work begins more than a year in advance, and continues in one form or another across the calendar.

50 | The Wınged M |

DECEMBER 2017

“We finalized the decision for this year’s theme right after the ‘snowpocalypse’ of 2016,” says committee co-chair Bridget Connolly. “We thought ‘Let It Snow’ sounded like a better theme than ‘Snowpocalypse’.”

‘Let It Snow’ also better suits the whimsical, nostalgic tone the HDC sets each year. While they carefully guard some of their biggest surprises until the last minute to invoke maximum wonder from MAC members, hints as to the scope of the display emerge earlier.

Committee co-chair Kitty Emery meticulously paints a small dog statue in the storage room behind the Junior

Lounge, and a snowman stands nearby, waiting his turn. There’s talk of trying to replicate the microcosmic wonder of a snow globe, but it’s still too early to tell how all these pieces will fit together.

Emery cites a number of practical reasons for the selection of this year’s theme, including contrast with previous themes, materials at-hand, inclusiveness, and budgetary and technical limitations. This is her sixth year on the committee, and she quickly rattles off previous themes such as, “Elf,” “The Nutcracker,” and “Candy Cane Lane.”

“We’ve been doing so much color the past few years that we wanted to try something different this year,” she says, adding that a Pinterest board is updated throughout the year with new ideas and inspiration. “How do I think of these things? It takes a long time.”

Celebrate New Year’s Eve at the club with a family friendly New York, New York-themed party in The Ballroom.

Jean Malnati, Luanne Stoltz and Mary Kay Rodman volunteered their time to help decorate the club.

While Emery is the creative engine that propels this polar express, co-chair Zita Nyitrai holds the purse strings and Connolly does her best to keep all of the cars connected. That means helping Kitty pare down ideas; working on the budget; and supporting, corralling and advising other committee members. At the end of the year, though, it’s all about seeing another winter wonderland realized.

“Our initial idea was to do something elegant and stylized, but we ended up opting for the playful,” Connolly explains.

“We really wanted something bright and sparkly, and snow is just perfect for that purpose. It’s one of those special, magical things here in Oregon.”

olf demands a precise balance of mental and physical skill.

Pilates can help hone those areas.

Pilates uniquely enables you to focus on mind-body awareness by gaining insight into the inseparable connection between the physical and psychological components of this sport.

Golf pros like Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth are known to incorporate Pilates into their regular training regimen. Elite athletes are still training daily, but the focus is shifting away from conventional weight training to focus more on balance, flexibility, core strength, core stability and mental focus.

Pilates strengthens all aspects of the core, which is instrumental in the golf game. Having a strong core will allow you to set up the ball correctly.

Correct positioning gives you a better chance to swing properly. Pilates emphasizes initiating every movement from the core through the peripheral limbs, and in golf, power is generated from the ground up, so you can generate increased clubhead speed as your core gets stronger.

Benefits include increased hip stability, stronger deep abdominal muscles, stronger upper mid-back muscles, and increased range of movement, giving you the potential for longer drives.

Pilates for golfers is offered at 11 a.m. on Mondays and there are two, six-week sessions; Jan. 8 through Feb. 12, and Feb. 19

Up the intensity of your workouts in January with a Pilates class that incorporates the energizing and upbeat aspects of a Barre class. Begin on the Pilates reformer, and transition to standing while holding onto the jump board as the ‘Barre’.

Use concepts used on the reformer to do standing Barre exercises that target the glutes, arms, upper back and abs.

This fast-paced class is designed to build up a sweat while staying true to Pilates principles. We will incorporate props like the band, toning balls and stability ball to increase challenge and build endurance. Add variety and intensity to your Pilates equipment class by signing up for this series!

Reformer and Barre Pilates is perfect for a seasoned Pilates client, although new, athletic students are welcome with a private session scheduled before the class begins. Following the workshop, new students will have enough experience to begin a weekly reformer class.

This five-week session is offered at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays or 1 p.m. on Thursdays beginning Jan. 3. The cost is $165 per session. To register, contact Pilates instructor Mandee Pearson at mpearson@ themac.com. WM

SKI AND SNOWBOARD

FreeRide: Get on Board!

MAC’s Snowboard FreeRide program teaches the fundamentals of the sport

T

hey call it the MAC Alpine Ski Team, but the club’s snow sports program offers more than just racing. In fact, the program is really broken down into three disciplines. There is downhill skiing (see more on page 22 of the Winter Class Guide insert), along with the FreeRide Ski and FreeRide Snowboard programs. The snowboard program is just one year old, but is poised to grow under Coach Stephen Fox.

DECEMBER 2017

ATHLETICS “My daughter is entering her fifth year of snowboarding, and her second year of riding on the MAC Freeride Snowboard team. She joined the fledgling program last year and can’t wait to start again,” says member Mark Mahler. “While she grew into a strong snowboarder at a young age, the coach’s instruction and influence has rapidly accelerated her skills and comfort on any terrain that Mt Hood Meadows has to offer. She has a new-found confidence whether on the features of the terrain park, or on some of the most challenging steeps anywhere.”

A snowboarder himself, Mahler appreciates the detailed reports he gets from MAC’s coaching staff.

“I know a lot of coaches on Mt Hood, and there are some great ones, but Stephen Fox is as good as it gets,” he says. “This team is among the best on Mt. Hood, continuing the MAC tradition of developing world-class snow-sliders, whether they’re on one plank or two.”

Frosty Fundamentals The MAC FreeRide program is designed around the heart of the club’s ski philosophy: develop the fundamental skills of great all-mountain skiing and

the Oregon Interscholastic Snowboarding Association, and is Level 1 Avalanche certified. He worked for three summers at Windells Camp on Mt. Hood, where he was responsible for young riders that later grew up to be Olympians, X Games competitors, and widely heralded pro snowboarders.

Fox co-founded the brand Drink Water with two pro snowboarders, his brother Bryan Fox and friend Austin Smith. They work together to promote water as a protest to energy drink marketing in action sports. Together they produce the annual Drink Water Rat Race on Mt. Hood. In its six-year history, the race has raised over $150,000 for Water. org, providing water to parts of the world that lack access.

Passionate about snowboarding, Fox will help riders develop technical, tactical and mental skills.

Program participants can expect to progress and develop their allmountain terrain analysis, entrylevel avalanche awareness, freestyle skills and creative descents. Simply put, by the end of their 20 days on the hill, riders will be better, more well-rounded, safer snowboarders. WM

riding, create ownership of these skills, and finally, create elite skiers and snowboarders. Athletes learn the fundamental skills of great skiing and snowboarding, big-mountain riding techniques for varying snow conditions, avalanche safety, and how to attack steeps, trees, cliffs, powder and bumps. FreeRide athletes must be able to ski or ride the entire mountain, navigating off-piste terrain effectively.

The program includes a Holiday Camp from Wednesday, Dec. 27, through Friday, Dec. 30, and runs every Saturday through the end of March at Mt. Hood Meadows.

The coach Leading MAC’s Snowboard FreeRide program is Member Coach Stephen Fox. With 21 years of snowboarding as of this season, Fox shares a contagious passion for quality time on the mountain.

A graduate of Lewis & Clark College, Fox led the Ski and Snowboard Club there for three years. Fox coached West Linn in

EATING WELL Ever since 2737 B.C., when Chinese legend says leaves from an overhanging Camellia sinensis plant fell into Emperor Shennong’s cup of boiling water, tea has been recognized by cultures around the world for its capacity to soothe, restore, and refresh. The flavonoids, which are a type of antioxidant that teas are packed full of, have health benefits with regards to heart disease. Many studies that have looked into the antioxidants in black tea and heart health reported decreased incidence of heart attack. Drinking green tea was associated with lower total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, and higher HDL (the “good” cholesterol) levels.

Orange Mint Tea Servings: 6 Ingredients

The Healing Effects of Herbal Tea

L

ast week I led an informal hands-on lecture on how to create your own potions or medicinal extracts/tinctures. It got me thinking about another avenue for treating oneself naturally – medicinal teas.

Many of you may drink herbal tea and be unaware of its medicinal properties. For example, the chamomile tea has been used medicinally dating back to ancient Egypt.

Today, chamomile is frequently used in supplements and tinctures (diffused for drinking or applied topically) to treat stomach ailments, anxiety, insomnia and skin eruptions. Chamomile is high in antioxidants and is considered an antispasmodic (cramp relief), carminative (flatulence relief), sedative and antiseptic. The carminative and antispasmodic properties are partially why chamomile is used for gastrointestinal ailments such as IBS, constipation and acid reflux. Chamomile, which is also known as “herbal aspirin,” is frequently used for rheumatic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.

Since chamomile has many bioactive constituents, its uses and preparations are almost endless. One constituent, apigenin, is being investigated as a possible treatment for cancer, due to properties that have the potential to inhibit tumor growth.

Other studies have shown that apigenin, along with other constituents, bind to GABA and benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, which help induce sedation and anxiolytics (anxiety inhibitors). Similarly, flavonoids are being investigated as a potential for improving cardiac health. The list goes on, with some studies showing very promising results and some less promising. One small study (12 participants and not doubleblind) looked at chamomile and its potential in reducing arterial pressure. They found a very small, non-significant reduction in pressure, but on the plus side, 10 of the 12 participants went into a deep sleep after!

The FDA considers chamomile as generally safe, but a small percentage of people may have mild allergic reactions to it. People who are allergic to ragweed or chrysanthemums are at the greatest risk of experiencing an allergic reaction to chamomile.

When making your own herbal tea for medicinal reasons, it’s important to know what part of the plant is indicated, the proper dosage, and if there are any contraindications. If you have questions or concerns, please email me or visit me at my new location in the south end of the main exercise room.

Want to continue the conversation? Join me every second Tuesday at MACtinis from 4:30-5:30 p.m. for Happy Hour with Your Naturopath. Bring your questions and enjoy a specially concocted drink for the occasion.

ATHLETICS DANCE

Celebrating the Season with Mark Bosnian This holiday season will be extra festive, with a special performance by the MAC Company dancers at Mark Bosnian’s Home for the Holidays concert Saturday, Dec. 9.

The dancers have been invited to perform with Bosnian – a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and member of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame – and his band on two separate pieces at this popular concert, including a reprise of the tap number they performed at MAC’s Holiday Open House.

Bosnian, an award-winning singer-songwriter and professional voice coach, presents a uniquely Portland concert and sing-along at Central Lutheran Church, with shows at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. This event is also a fundraiser, with 20 percent of the proceeds contributed to Habit For Humanity Portland Metro/East to help fund building and repairing homes for families in need. Bosnian’s trio performs holiday classics, original holiday songs, and leads the audience in rousing, sing-along favorites. Local guest artists join the trio on stage, including soul queen LaRhonda Steele, the uplifting Shine Children’s Chorus, the always-entertaining Lonesome Dewey and

HANDBALL

Honoring Excellence to Start the Season The MAC handball community marked the beginning of the competitive season with the annual kickoff banquet in September.

Nearly 60 people attended, including several Pacific University players from the school’s national championship team, courtesy of the Alten Handball Fund. The Handball Committee honored several players, including Tony Heiting, who won the Cebula Award, honoring a player who epitomizes the spirit of handball. The MAC’s Open class champion, Stephen Stenberg, was recognized as most improved player. Greg Marshall was honored with the sportsmanship award for his dedication to the game and great spirit as he worked to overcome lingering injuries.

Marshall is also known for his unflagging good cheer.

Also with funding from the Alten Handball Foundation, 16 MAC players flew to the Bay Area for the 44th year of interclub exchanges Continued on page 76

In another club exchange, about eight MAC players went to the Lloyd Athletic Club in October as the second part of a homeand-home exchange. Lloyd’s doubles team prevailed by one slim point.

Forty players signed up for fall intramurals, under the careful direction of member coach J. D. McLandrich. This includes several new players, with all age groups, from teenagers to players in their 70s, competing in a great environment.

Odds and ends Ed Grossenbacher is recovering well from knee injuries suffered in a fall. The handball community is pulling for him to complete recovery and rehab, and return to the courts.

A defect in the front wall of court No. 1 was repaired. This is a nice improvement in the playability of that showcase court and MAC players are thankful to the staff who worked on this job.

He changed the game during his multi-year reign as No. 1, getting away from the dominant tactic of power serves followed up by kill-shot blasts. Chapman excelled at delivering soft serves that gave his opponent almost no chance to return the ball with any offensive zip on it. If the rally did get started, Chapman was relentless in moving his opponent around the court and jumping on the first mistake to end the rally. His genius on the court will be sorely missed.

RACQUETBALL

Women’s Racquetball on the Rise Over the past five years, the racquetball program has seen tremendous growth in the number of women participating. This fall, there are 130 members playing in the intramural league, and 24 are women. They are playing at competitive levels from three to 13.

Due to the growing interest, a women’s Open Play and Clinic was added on Sunday mornings. In these morning workouts,

Graduating Seniors Show Gratitude

the art of organization

This year, MAC’s swim team has four graduating swimmers. This is not the team’s largest class of graduates, but the most accomplished. All of them are successful students and outstanding athletes. Members of this small group have qualified for the U.S. Open, broken Oregon records, reached the finals at Junior Nationals and, in one case, won the Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award. MAC coaches asked them to share their feelings about being a part of the MAC’s swimming program for a large part of their young lives.

Brynne O’Shea I am looking forward to attending Duke University in the fall, where I will continue my athletic and academic career; I plan on studying business and marketing. This achievement was not reached in isolation, as many people helped me along the way.

First, I would like to thank my MAC coaches, who have provided so much encouragement, guidance, inspiration and motivation. My teammates also are amazing, as they have not only been my training partners in the pool, but also my family outside of the pool.

Finally, I would like to thank my parents and my brother for always believing in me and supporting me in all aspects of my life.

Reid Holman I am a senior at Jesuit High School, where I am the swim team captain for the men’s team. At Jesuit, I do service work. I completed over 90 hours of service work at the Blanchet House throughout my high school career. I have committed to Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. I will study finance. I joined the MAC swim team two summers ago as a sophomore in high school because I wanted to become a better swimmer. Over the past two years of hard work in the pool and the training room, I have become a better swimmer, but also a better person. My coaches have taught me lessons that I can carry with me into college and other aspects of my life. Coach Alex Nikitin has molded me into the person I am today and helped me mature along the way.

I also have created lifelong friends through this team. My teammates help me push past my limits to achieve goals I didn’t know I could reach.

Rob Mead I attend Columbia River High School in Vancouver, Washington, where I received the scholar athlete award recognizing students who maintain a high GPA while participating in athletics. Swimming for MAC has been a privilege, an amazing opportunity and a real honor. In and out of the pool I see amazing leadership and dedication. This positive atmosphere has shaped me to become a better teammate, a better person and a leader.

The MAC swim team is like a second family, and I’ll have nothing but good memories to cherish because of all the wonderful people in the program.

Van Mathias I go to Beaverton High School. Last year I won state titles in the 100-meter butterfly and 100 backstroke, also breaking the 6A state record in the former. I plan to major in math/physics and go to grad school for engineering. Some of my best memories are from MAC, and it’s shaped me into who I am today. MAC has given me plenty of opportunities to become the best version of myself.

I committed to attend Indiana University.

MAC coaches and swim boosters wish these graduating seniors. the best of luck in college. Congratulations!

DECEMBER 2017

It started up on Skyline Boulevard in 1937, with vast expanses of glass, unpainted wood and native plants. The Aubrey Watzek house, designed by John Yeon, represents the birth of the Northwest Regional Style, architecture that continues to influence the look of Oregon’s neighborhoods today. At 7 p.m. on January 31, join Portland architecture journalist Brian Libby in an exploration of the style, starting with its progenitors, Pietro Belluschi (1899-1994) and John Yeon (1910-1994), and on through homes being constructed today.

Before the Watzek home, most residential architecture in Portland derived from historical styles such as Tudor, Arts and Crafts, Classical, or Italianate.

While Belluschi and Yeon were Modernists, they didn’t reject all historical styles. For homes they designed, Libby says, “They were also influenced by Japanese architecture – pagodas notably – and Willamette Valley farm and ranch houses. They kept the DNA of Modernism and adapted it to the Pacific Northwest.” Pitched rooflines, unpainted wood walls, and asymmetric floor plans that blend into the landscapes are elements of the style they created.

In his talk and slide show, Libby illustrates precedents and practitioners of the Northwest Regional Style, along with details

ATHLETICS from historical and contemporary homes that illustrate its hallmarks. You’ll come away with enough knowledge to impress your walking partners on your next urban stroll.

Libby’s articles appear in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Architectural Digest, Portland Monthly, The Atlantic, The Portland Tribune, and Dwell magazine.

How can something be simultaneously so simple yet so incredibly challenging?

Meditation is the perfect example of something that appears to have so little to it, yet can be so challenging. It is a skill that can do as little as allow you to breath better and as much as transform your life. Knowing that this skill can be difficult to master on your own, let MAC yoga and meditation instructors guide you through Meditation in any of the weekly classes in Studio Two, located in the sub-basement. No experience or athletic attire is needed.

Did you know you don’t need to begin a meditation practice sitting in an uncomfortable position? For many, this fact alone can deter us from trying a class. There is no use in sitting in a hunched position with your hips aching while you meditate. Feel free to begin in a supine position or sit in a chair until you begin to feel more comfortable. Using props to create a more comfortable position is an excellent option. Sit up on several folded blankets or a yoga block or two. Use enough padding that you can comfortably sit up on your sitting bones and maintain the natural curve in your lumbar spine. The more comfortable you are, the more likely you will remain there for a period of time to meditate. Ask the Instructor which props are right for you to get you into your optimal position, one that will set you up to be able to remain there throughout the meditation.

Over time your posture will begin to adjust and you will likely feel more comfortable in a seated position.

Leave everything outside the studio and enter a place of quiet contentment in any of the weekly meditation classes. You can be sure you will leave in a more serene state: relaxed, refreshed and contented.

Meditation classes take place in Studio Two from 11:30 a.m.-noon Mondays, and 8:20-8:40 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

From the Archives 1907 poster for New Year’s Eve boxing and wrestling matches against the Spokane Athletic Club, held in the gym of the 1900 clubhouse.

From boxing matches to formal dinners to jazz and dancing events, members have celebrated the evening in different ways over the years.
