Fuel efficiency just got exhilarating.

Now, you can get the power you want with class-leading fuel economy and lower emissions. Here’s why: At Volvo we know the true source of efficient power isn’t more cylinders—it’s more air. That’s why Volvo engineers have pioneered a new method to increase airflow to your engine. As a result, the All-New Drive-E Powertrain combines a more efficient powerplant with extraordinary performance.

Since 1957

In fact, the All-New Drive-E gives you the equivalent of 6-cylinder horsepower with the fuel economy of a 4-cylinder engine. So, you get the power you want with a smaller carbon footprint and fewer trips to the pump.

he holidays mark an end to MAC’s budgeting process. As the year rolls over, so does MAC’s fiscal year. Preparing the budget for approval by the Board of Trustees is a diligent and lengthy process. Sources of fundAnn Blume ing for MAC are dues Treasurer (operating) and initiation fees (designated for capital improvements and enhancements). Locker fees, restaurant venues, class and activities fees, and The -M-Porium are additional sources for the operating budget. The membership count remains stable. MAC’s Strategic Plan and rankings from an ad-hoc property utilization committee report were used as a road map to prioritize funding requests. These reports were member-driven, and involved a broad cross-section of the membership. In an ongoing effort to improve upon management of capital projects, a committee of members and staff developed the Major Capital Project Protocol. The benchmarks for projects over $500,000 outlined in the protocol include stakeholder input, scope, need and construction bids. A three-year horizon is planned for projects of this magnitude. Piggybacking on the protocol, the next three large projects have been identified and are in various stages of development: Kitchen/Ballroom renovation, third- and fourth-floor office reconfiguration resulting in flexible space for members, and a refresh of the Exercise and Conditioning Room. Budgeting commences in May with sport and social committees preparing their plans for the coming year. Staff follow the same process for their respective departments. Senior management then vets the requests. Sometimes, the wish list exceeds the available funds. Subcommittees of Athletics and Member Events meet over the summer to review committee requests, followed by the full committees endorsing the requested budgets. Initiation fees are the funding source for replacements and enhancements at MAC. New members come in through the lottery, marriage and age (intermediate to senior). The 2014 lottery entrants will replace normal attrition, not increase the resident membership. An annual targeted expenditure level is identified after reviewing long-range funding plans, financial policies, a facility replacement reserve study and maintenance records. Requested 2015 capital projects were 45 percent over the target expenditure level. The Property Committee’s

budget subcommittee began their work in September, reviewing capital and facility proposals. Directors and committees presented requests, accompanied by photos and bids. The Property budget subcommittee met five times in September and October, with the final submission approved by the full Property committee. Tom Bard chaired this subcommittee. The Budget and Finance Committee began its major assignment for the year in mid-October, when directors and committee chairs presented their proposed budgets. The committee reflected over eight sessions to arrive at a budget for presentation to the Board. Deliberations were extensive, as the committee balanced services and programs for the members against an acceptable dues increase. The bulk of the operating expenses are property taxes, employee wages and benefits, along with utility costs. After thorough and diligent deliberation, the board approved 2015 monthly dues of $256.25 for a senior family membership. This represents an increase of 5 percent over 2014 monthly dues. The 2015 Capital Budget of $4.9 million includes an extensive remodel of the Kitchen to address water leaks and aging infrastructure, updates to the Ballroom, and skybridge lighting. We appreciate the efforts of John Foley (controller), Belinda Potts (administrative assistant), Tim Arbogast (assistant GM/ CFO), and Diana Callaway (Budget subcommittee chair) for leading us through the process. Thank you for the opportunity to serve on your Board of Trustees. I greatly value the friendships, knowledge and experience I have gained. My appreciation for the MAC and its members grows daily.

ust prior to Thanksgiving, my wife, Valerie, and I headed east to watch our son participate in his last football game of the season. By sheer luck, our two daughters were by our side to help us. Harvard was playing for sole Norm Rich possession of the Ivy General Manager League championship. Going into the game they had an advantage and could finish the season undefeated should they earn the victory. The Game took on extra significance, with ESPN’s College Gameday broadcasting live from campus. Not bad for a league that no longer competes for bowl competition. The Game is the Super Bowl of the Ivy League, and the sights and sounds are no different than any other big game (sans the bright green whale pants, bow ties and full-length mink coats). Pranks and grandstanding aside, this brings back memories of MAAC’s founding and the value of competition. Harvard won its first national championship in 1890. Your club dates to 1891, when 26 young men who wanted to play football and cricket started the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. I quote from page one of Legacy of the Twenty-Six: “Sport was new. Daily life had changed in the years following the Civil War. The Industrial Revolution and its wealth created leisure time for classes other than the rich. Advances in communication and travel brought fresh ideas from afar. Americans accepted the Germanic belief that physical activity could improve both individual and society; the English passion for fair competition was embraced. Games evolved into sport.” It was Vince Lombardi, who said in his career: “Winning is not everything-but making the effort to win is,” and “winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all-the-time thing.” I am struck by the embracing of “the English passion for fair competition” and how “games evolved into sport.” Our club is a mixture of fair-minded individuals with varied earning power; some retired and others contributing to our community of members and most with respect for the traditions of an institution that has evolved over time. We are a community now known as the Multnomah Athletic Club, with wonderful members living the traditions of the past and endeavoring to make new traditions celebrating our future.

Although Lombardi was focused on winning and being at an athlete’s best, we are an organization that encourages sport and participation in many ways – recreationally, competitively, and to stay fit, live longer or be stronger. No member should stray from participating at their own speed. It is the time of year where the club transitions leadership, and the third-year class of officers retire. We have the greatest appreciation for their service and for leaving your club in a better place than when they assumed leadership. Darcy Henderson has been more than a mentor. We have not always agreed on everything, but I think we became closer by expressing our points of view and respecting them, and I am honored to call Darcy a better friend today than when we began. I watched Darcy’s children begin their journey at the club and have watched them have fun, begin competition, and know they will be future dues-paying members well grounded in MAC traditions and life’s lessons. Dwight Terry is a wonderful member; he has become a best friend and cares deeply for our institution. Dwight was the quiet one who worked behind the scenes to make the club a better place. A few years ago I called Bill June a gentlemen’s gentlemen. I think Dwight belongs in this same category. I thank him for his involvement and partnership. Ann Blume has done all the heavy financial lifting for our organization. Financially, we achieved budget for the year, with plenty of hard work and financial discipline along the way. Ann worked directly with management to deliver membership financial excellence. Finally, thank you David DeBlasio, our secretary, for being there, keeping track of what everyone said and when they said it, by being a parliamentarian when we most needed one or revisiting bylaws one more time to ensure we got it right. David’s roots are deep within our club, and he always had the pulse of where fellow members stood on issues and opportunities. I want to thank all four officers for their drive and energy, and for always being at their best. I also need to thank their spouses and families for allowing them to take time away from family and serve the club. Trustees, your unique gifts to our club can never be paid back. I am sure our membership joins me in thanking you for your service. Final update. Max’s team won the Ivy League Championship outright and went undefeated for one of only three times in the last 100 years. WM

elcome to 2 0 1 5 ! I t ’s a new year, a new opportunity to reset your goals, and a new chance to dream about adventures and explorations. This can be an exciting time for some, while stressful for others. Change is Ed Stoner rarely easy, but with Athletic Director the right perspective, can be transformative. John C. Maxwell and others have said, “We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.” There are many changes taking place at MAC this month. We have wrestled with limited budgets, creating better structural equity among programs and services, the evolution of At Your Service and the retirement of some staff, which has led to the elimination of some positions and the modification of many. Additionally, Dance will become its own department, and at the end of March Child Care will merge with Junior Sports, creating the new Youth Programs and Court Sports departments. A copy of the new department organizational structure and which committees will report where is included on the Athletic Director’s page of the website. Like many others making resolutions this time of year, my wife and I set out this past fall to change our diets and drop a few pounds. The plan was simple. Control our intake and increase the energy output, with daily measurement on progress and having each other for support. It was not as easy as it sounded to reach our goals, but we did. With that thought in mind, don’t be afraid to change your routines, yet keep your resolutions achievable. Write them down and track your progress. Include a training buddy, since having that voice of encouragement and accountability is valuable. You can become what you want to be with the right plan and commitment. Speaking of which, last year at this time I wrote down one of my goals in this column. That goal has materialized in a unique walking and hiking adventure for MAC members through Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland from June 22 to July 1. The capacity is 20 and 12 spaces remain available as I write this column. More details are available online and in this month’s Winged M. I look forward to seeing you around the club all year living your dreams, achieving your goals and becoming what you want to be in 2015. WM

Doing what I love, thanks to OHSU.

I injured my back when I was 27. Off and on, I endured extraordinary pain. Then I discovered the OHSU Spine Center. The difference was in their team approach: They made me feel welcome, listened, provided options and empowered me with the tools to take control of the pain myself. OHSU gave me the chance to take back my life, without surgery or medication. And now, look what I’m able to do: What I love. That’s what life’s all about.

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC Scholar Athlete Ariana Pumpelly, a senior at Tualatin High School, was named the Oregon Class 6A soccer player of the year after the Timberwolves won their second consecutive state title in November. Pumpelly was also the Three Rivers League player of the year. She played on a back line that surrendered one goal throughout Tualatin’s five-game playoff run. Pumpelly was also the team’s captain. Tualatin was 16-2-1 on the season. Pumpelly played center back, spearheading the team’s incredible defense. Tualatin shut out 11 teams this year, and only one squad scored more than one goal against the Timberwolves.

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

Aquatics instructor Alura Penny was one of two MAC employees who won the Stephani Turner Teaching Award. Penny has made an impact in her short amount of time at the club. She is one of MAC’s most creative instructors; she always tries new things with her students. Penny’s style is reflective of a veteran instructor who has been teaching for a long time; her teaching tool box is filled with a plethora of tricks and techniques. She can take a child who’s crying, screaming or stubborn, and she knows how to get them smiling in no time. She develops great relationships with her students, and has a true passion for helping her swimmers develop a love for the water.

Zachary Shaffer was one of two aquatics instructors at MAC who won the Stephani Turner Teaching Award. Shaffer is an amazing instructor. He is dedicated to getting to know his swimmers individually and works with them on their unique needs, challenging them to move forward and feel successful. He recently began teaching the Big/Little Fish classes, and has been great with MAC’s youngest swimmers and their parents. He also works with special needs swimmers and is able to adapt his teaching style to fit their needs. Shaffer can handle any level of ability. His swimmers love coming to lessons and are always looking forward to learning to swim with teacher Zachary.

Junior member Sofia Bell was named the Oregon Female Field Athlete of the Year in the 10-and-under age group by USA Track and Field. This was her first year on a track team, the Albina Roadrunners, and she won the State Junior Olympics in long jump and qualified for regionals in three events. Sofia set a personal best by jumping more than 13 feet at the State Junior Olympics meet in Salem, and finished sixth in the event at regionals in Spokane, Wash. She also competes in the 100200- and 400-meter runs and the 4x100-meter relay. Sofia’s parents are Greg and Claire Bell.

The reigning 2014 Oregon Gymnast of the Year, Patrick Casey, begins competing at the NCAA Division I level with the Penn State Nittany Lions this month. Casey rose through the ranks at MAC, winning the Most Improved Male Gymnast award in 2013, and being named captain of MAC’s team as a senior in 2014, when he also won MAC’s Male Gymnast of the Year award. Casey was a six-time Junior Olympic National Championships qualifier, 2013 state high bar champion, 2014 regional high bar champion, and a recipient of the 2014 Mike Miller Award. Casey graduated from Jesuit High School, and is the son of Dan and Mary Casey.

MAC Member Coach Charlie Pratt made the first semifinals of the New Jersey Open, an International Racquetball Tour event last weekend. This is a great accomplishment and moves Pratt up in the IRT rankings; he currently sits at 11th. Pratt beat the world’s No. 5 ranked player, Jose Rojas, to advance to the semifinal round, where he lost a close match against the No. 3-ranked player in the world, Alvaro Beltran. Pratt’s first taste of the IRT came as a referee in 2009. He quickly moved up the ranks from the No. 44-ranked player into the top 10, and is returning from an injury last year to regain his top-10 form. Watch him play in May at MAC’s Tournament of Champions.

In Memoriam Betty Louise (Childs) Bradshaw July 6, 1923-Nov. 7, 2014 Nonresident member Betty Bradshaw died peacefully on Nov. 7, 2014, in Rockford, Ill. She was 91. Betty was born in Salem to Leo and Elma (Sutter) Childs. She graduated from Salem High School in 1941. Betty graduated from the University of Oregon in 1945 with a degree in psychology and proudly remained an Oregon Duck for over 70 years. After graduation, she lived in San Francisco for two years and worked for Foster Employment Agency. Betty then returned to Oregon and lived in Portland where she worked for the Multnomah County Child Welfare Office as a case worker. In 1950, she became reacquainted with an old Salem Jr. High and High School classmate and neighbor, Fred Bradshaw. After a three-month courtship, they were married on March 4, 1950. Betty and Fred spent their early married years in San Diego and Boston while Fred served in the Navy. When Fred returned from serving in the Korean War, they settled in Portland, where they raised their two daughters, Leslie and Molly, and where Betty lived for nearly 60 years. Betty and her late husband, Fred, cherished the Oregon Coast. She was so very proud to have introduced her Midwestern grandchildren to the wonders of the beach at Roads End. Betty was a past president of the St. Vincent Hospital Guild, where she served over 5,000 hours. In addition to MAC, she was an active member of Waverly Country Club and The Town Club. Furthermore, Betty remained a loyal Tri Delta Sorority alumna over the years. In 2010, Betty moved to Rockford, Ill. to be near her daughter and family. After the move, Betty felt blessed to be recognized as the family matriarch at nearly all of the academic, social and athletic events of her grandchildren. While in Rockford, Betty was able to welcome the birth of her great granddaughter. For a short time, she proudly led four generations of Louises: Betty Louise, Molly Louise, Megan Louise, and Madeline Louise, in wisdom and love. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frederick Gale Bradshaw, and daughter, Leslie Gale Bradshaw. Betty is survived by her daughter, Molly (Paul) Klazura of Rockford, Ill.; grandchildren, Megan (Ryan) Dehner of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Gregory Klazura of Chicago, Illinois; Brian Klazura of Del Rio, Texas; and great-granddaughter, Madeline Dehner. In line with Betty’s wishes, contributions in her memory may be made to Literary

Arts (Leslie Bradshaw Award for Young Adult Literature), 925 S.W. Washington St., Portland, OR 97205.

J. Kenneth Brody Jan. 11, 1923-Nov. 19, 2014 Senior family member Joel Kenneth Brody was born in Bridgeport, Conn., on Jan. 11, 1923, to loving parents, Charles and Lydia Brody, who gave to each of their three sons the priceless gifts of a happy childhood, a superb education, and the example of lives well led. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale in June 1943, on an accelerated wartime basis. From 1943 to 1946 he served aboard the destroyer USS Tillman DD641 in the Atlantic, European/Mediterranean, and Pacific theaters of operation of World War II. After graduating from Yale Law School in 1949, Ken spent a year in his father’s Bridgeport law office, then adventured to the Northwest, where he joined the Seattle law firm Bogle, Bogle & Gates as an associate, and then partner, in the years 1950 to 1962. In 1963 he entered the business world as a vice president and director of Evans Products Co., serving as executive vice president and director from 1965 until his early retirement in 1981. Ken’s principal interest thereafter was in the study and writing of history. He is the author of The Avoidable War: Lord Cecil & the Policy of Principle 1933-1935 and its companion Pierre Laval & the Politics of Reality 1935-1936, which eminent Stanford historian Gordon Craig called “a distinguished contribution to the history of the period.” He also is the author of The Trial of Pierre Laval, the story of a 1945 French treason trial. A Financial Times reviewer opined that the book’s premise that the trial was a travesty of justice is inarguable. His other works include Yale, A Celebration, an illustrated anthology, Arlington Club: Where Leaders Meet, a local history, and Really Us, A Paris Year, a privately published memoir. His latest work, The Crucible of a Generation: America Goes to War, 1941, is scheduled for publication in 2015. In an active public life he served as a director or trustee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Metropolitan Family Service Foundation, Portland Opera, Emmanuel Medical Center Foundation, PSU Friends of History, and the Oregon Human Rights Advisory Committee. He served on the Ainsworth Elementary School and Lincoln High School local advisory committees, chairing Lincoln’s committee. He also was co-author of the City Club’s 1978 report on the fiscal affairs of Portland School District #1. He was a longtime director and trustee of the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation, which built and maintains the U.S. Navy Plaza on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. For dedicated service to the university, he was

a 2010 recipient of Yale’s highest honor, the Yale Medal, only the second Oregonian so honored. He was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, Arlington Club, Yale Club of New York City, Mory’s Association, and the Condon Elks Club. Ken said the greatest achievement of his life was to marry Sandra Johnson on Sept. 17, 1966, and live happily thereafter. In 1973 Ken and Sandy joyously became the parents of Alison, who later brought her husband, Donald C. Bingham, into the family and with whom Alison blessed her parents with granddaughter Kate. Ken and Sandy traveled widely, but their favorite destination was always Paris, which they visited annually for more than 30 years, cultivating an intimate circle of friends that made Paris, for them, a true second home. The family’s great adventure was to live in a glorious apartment on the banks of the Seine during Alison’s fifth-grade year at the Ecole Bilingue. Ken loved his country, Yale, the Navy, history, the law, and the family’s Dandie Dinmont terriers. He believed that the private practice of law was a bulwark of liberty and that sound policy must be based upon a sound appreciation of history. He was predeceased by his parents and older brother, Lawrence B. Brody, and is survived by Sandy, Alison, Don, Kate, and younger brother Seth O.L. Brody.

Pat Karamanos Jan. 14, 1950-Oct. 28, 2014 Senior member Pat Karamanos believed that anything worth doing was worth doing well or better, and that is how she lived her life. Whether as a mother, Meier & Frank executive or civic leader, hers was a life lived, not only well, but superbly. Pat was born Patricia Heyward Smith on Jan. 14, 1950, in Montclair N.J., to Margaret Blackwell Smith and John Heyward Smith. She was raised in Montclair with her older brother, Garrett K., and younger brother, Douglas B. When her mother died, she transferred from Lasell College in Newton, Mass., to the nearer Upsala College to help the family. Pat’s father later married Elizabeth Skinner, bringing Pat three stepsiblings, David W. Woods, Susan W. Day and Cynthia S. Woods. After graduating from Upsala with a degree in psychology, she was a counselor for the Holley Center, a residential treatment center for abused children, in Hackensack, N.J.

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 19 sweetheart, David Marquardt, and moved with him to Burlingame, Calif. Unable to find a satisfactory job in her field, she entered a buyer training program at The Emporium, Capwell in San Francisco, and was hired as a buyer for women’s accessories. It was a glamorous, heady life that fit her like one of the luxury gloves she sold. She traveled extensively to London, Paris, Milan, Germany and Asia, and was able to indulge her distinctive and artistic style not only for herself, but also for her customers. She moved to Portland in 1981 to take a position as a divisional merchandise manager for Meier & Frank. In 1984, she was named senior vice president. She was a mentor to many women there and instrumental in their hiring and advancement. Her first marriage had ended in divorce and in 1983, she married John D. (Sam) Karamanos III. They had two sons, John D. IV, born in 1984, and married to Crista Davidson in 2014, and Benjamin H., born in 1985. In 1987, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and left Meier & Frank because of the heavy travel schedule and the duties of caring for two toddlers. Pat became active in the community from the day she arrived in Portland. She was a member of the boards of Providence Portland Medical Foundation, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and Providence Brain and Spine Institute, an active member of ARCS Foundation (Achievement Rewards for College Students) and Women’s Care Foundation. She was chairwoman of the Reed College Women’s Committee in 2000, and received the March of Dimes White Rose Award for that year. Pat was intensely involved in education. She helped found Gately Academy, now Bridges Middle School, and served on its board for many years. She also served on the board of Oregon Episcopal School, where she received a lifetime achievement award, and on the advisory boards of Thomas Edison Middle School and Saturday Academy. From 2006 to 2012, she divided her time between New York City and Portland. She created and sold designer canes online as Pat Heyward Canes. An extensive reader, she belonged to a book group of close friends for 25 years. Pat’s other hobbies included traveling, gardening and watching life bloom. She was devoted to a series of cats and dogs, particularly her cat, Zorro; and current Labrador retriever, Annie. Pat lived her life with grace, generosity and a passion for others. She has touched and changed the lives of countless friends.

Survivors include her sons, daughterin-law, brothers, stepmother, stepsister and stepbrother. Her former husband, John D. (Sam) Karamanos III, died in 2012; and stepsister, Cynthia S. Woods in 1983. She suffered multiple sclerosis for many years with perseverance, grit and a positive attitude but died of systemic scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease, Oct. 28, 2014. In lieu of flowers, she designated memorial gifts to Bridges Middle School, a non-profit school serving students with learning difficulties that Pat helped to found in 1998 at bridgesms.org/PKMemorial, or mail to 716 N.E. Marine Drive, Portland, OR 97211.

AND OTHER HOKA ONE ONE RUNNING SHOES AT THESE RETAILERS:

May 4, 1944-Nov. 10, 2014 Senior family member Andrew Philip Kerr died unexpectedly Nov. 10, 2014, at the age of 70. Andy was born May 4, 1944, the eldest son of George A.D. and Nadine (Tenney) Kerr. He grew up in Portland, attended Catlin Gabel School and graduated in 1962 from The Thacher School in Ojai, Calif. He earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and graduated from Willamette University College of Law in 1969. Andy was a founding partner in the law firm of Gilbertson, Brownstein, Sweeney, Kerr and Grim. In his law practice, as in his personal life, he offered guidance and support with patience, a clear perspective and always a sense of humor. Andy was proud of his Scottish heritage and cherished tradition. Under his direction, a family Christmas party that was first celebrated more than 100 years ago continues to this day. The party’s combination of black-tie formality and a knock-down version of musical chairs perfectly reflects Andy’s spirit. Andy enjoyed playing golf all of his life. He competed in the Oregon Coast Invitational for 35 years. He was a good tennis and squash player, enjoyed working in the garden and was a delightful storyteller. He loved all the dogs in his life, especially his chocolate Lab, Mission Bell. He was a member of the Waverley Country Club, University Club, MAC, the Racquet Club, Astoria Golf and Country Club and de Anza Country Club in Borrego Springs, Calif. He was proudest of his membership in Thacher’s Silver Dollar Club. He earned that honor by scooping up a silver dollar from the ground while cantering by on his beloved horse, Bandit. Andy is survived by his wife, Marjorie; children, Rob Kerr (Erin), Allison Kerr Bjork (Chris), Jennifer Smesrud (Jason) and Malcolm Jamison (Coleen); grandchildren, Rory and Ella Kerr, Anders, Henry and Continued on page 22

Oliver Imbler Norville Jan. 18, 1928-Nov. 13, 2014 Senior family member Oliver “Olly” Norville died peacefully Nov. 13, 2014, at the age of 86. Family, friends and professional colleagues remember Olly as a thoughtful and gentle man with enormous integrity and a commitment always to give more than he received. Born and raised in Portland, Olly attended Rose City Park Elementary School and Grant High School. After serving two years in the U.S. Navy, Olly entered Stanford University where he earned a bachelor’s degree and law

degree. There he met Mary Bulkeley who would become his beloved wife of 61 years. Olly and Mary settled in Portland in 1954. Olly served as an assistant Portland city attorney before entering private practice in 1959. A member of the Oregon State Bar for more than 50 years, Olly represented public redevelopment agencies throughout the state, notably serving as chief legal counsel for the Portland Development Commission for 30 years. Olly drafted most of the Oregon Statutes on Urban Renewal and remained a recognized expert on their meaning and intent throughout his life. His counsel to public agencies contributed to the rebirth and growth of many of Oregon’s cities and counties. Olly worked pro bono for many charities and organizations. He is remembered for his long tenure on Multnomah County’s Tax Supervising and Conservation Commission as well as for his work on behalf of the Oregon Parks Foundation and the Portland-Suzhou Sister City Association. Family was the center of Olly’s life. He and Mary raised six children, all of whom credit their dad for instilling in them a sense of fair play. He never tired of reminding them that doing the right thing was more than an obligation; it also made you feel good. Olly is survived by his wife, Mary; sister, Virginia Jensen; children, David

Imagine

Conant-Norville (Karen), Elizabeth (Peter Schwartz), John, Margaret Roberts (Tom), Anne Williams (John) and Peter (Sayuri Mizuno); and 15 grandchildren.

Kitchen and Sun Deck Up for Improvements M

AC will invest more than $6 million in facility improvement in 2015. These capital project will help make the club safer and improve facilities and the member experience.

Remodel Main Kitchen and Ballroom Cost: $4,587,297 Details: Closure of the Men’s Bar, Ballroom and MACtinis from Memorial Day through Labor Day The main kitchen is the source of occasional water leaks in the Women’s Locker Room and boiler room (B level). Unfortunately, repairing this leak requires a costly and disruptive project. To eliminate the leaks, a waterproof membrane would need to be installed under the floor. To accomplish this, the entire kitchen must be removed down to the structure and then reinstalled. The project also includes upgrades to the wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems. In addition to the kitchen work, the ballroom and its entryways will get upgraded finishes.

Fats Oils and Grease Compliance/Loading Dock Improvements

have degraded below acceptable facility standards. Similar to other rooms in the club, the existing pencil stud/wire and mesh/plaster walls require complete replacement. Junior Sports programs such as Tiny Tots drive criteria to provide more appropriate accommodations for toddlers, who use these rooms extensively. This project intends to renovate the rooms, bringing them up to current code standards.

Mezzanine Flooring Replacement Cost: $161,944 Details: TBD - high level of member disruption The existing broadloom carpet on the Mezzanine corridors of Phase 2 and 4 was installed in 2004 and is no longer available. The carpet is shabby with seams that are beyond repair. It has reached its lifeexpectancy limit and is due for replacement. After reviewing corridor use and flooring products, this project will replace the corridor carpet with a carpet tile. The Squash and Handball/Racquetball Courts viewing areas are included in this project. Where possible, rubber tile will be used in the main corridors similar to the new sub basement flooring.

Cost: $480,475 Details: Closure of the loading dock in spring The Cut through the FOG program (fats, oils and grease) requires Portland food service establishments to install grease interceptors when there is new construction or a renovation. These requirements are found in Environmental Services Administrative Rules Section ENB4.26. A gravity grease interceptor would be installed at the loading dock. The loading dock improvements include: dumpster enclosure to free up the second loading dock bay; adding a cover to the dumpster area; adding sprinklers to the dumpster area; relocating an exit door.

Member Garage Tennis Court Lighting

Restroom Remodel Second Floor

Cost: $123,653 Details: Spring – low level of member disruption The Splash concept for the outdoor pool experience at the Sundeck Pool and Sundeck has been very successful. This request is for: furniture and planters ($48,000); Splash utilities improvements ($8,000); and a Sundeck Lift ($67,653). WM

Cost: $255,784 Details: Spring – low level of member disruption These restrooms and the housekeeping closet between the East and Main gyms are original 1974 construction. The fixtures, finishes, lighting, HVAC ducting, and plumbing and electrical infrastructure

Cost: $129,175 Details: TBD – high level of member disruption The lighting in tennis courts 5, 6 and 7 is original to the building. Maintenance staff continually needs to replace bulbs in the fixtures that are not energy efficient. This request is to replace the lights with a newer style that is more reliable, more efficient, and has updated controls. A lighting consultant will be used to ensure that lighting levels meet USA Tennis standards.

MAC Earns 5-Star Platinum Club Status

CUSTOM DESIGNED JEWELRY you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Located in the heart of downtown. 507 SW BROADWAY 503.227.3437 JudithArnellJewelers.com

The Club Leaders Forum has named Multnomah Athletic Club a Platinum Club of America for 2014-2016. The awards are voted on by club managers, presidents and owners across the country. While MAC has long been a Platinum Club Of America honoree, this year marked its first time in the top three on the list of the top 20 athletic clubs. MAC finished behind only the New York and Atlanta athletic clubs. This year, the Club Leaders Forum also expanded and improved its voting process. Voters are asked to consider seven criteria when selecting clubs: universal recognition; excellence in amenities and facilities; caliber of staff and professional service levels; quality of membership; governance of prudent fiscal management; adapting to changing times; and overall experience. “We are proud to receive this prestigious award and share it with many of our sister clubs around America. The award is selected solely by 6,000 club presidents and general managers around the country. We are highly respected and are a leader in our industry,” says General Manager Norm Rich. “The real winners are our members, who partner with staff every day to make our club always better. We thank membership for your interest and investment in staff and facilities.”

Early Date for Annual Meeting All resident senior, life and honorary members are invited to attend the 124th Annual Meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3 in the Grand Ballroom. The meeting features the club president’s addresss, election of four new trustees and the introduction of new officers. A complimentary buffet follows the meeting. Those who attend the meeting get priority seating admission into the dinner.

Transportation

Register Bikes in Order to Park at Club The bike cage on the first floor of the Parking Structure is a convenient resource for members. It is designed to be used for onsite visits only. The club has used an honor system in granting day use of the Bike Cage in the past, but many users continue to leave their bikes for an extended period of time. In an effort to better track the owners of bicycles, users will need to register their bicycle effective Sunday, Feb. 1. After completing the proper registration, the user receives a parking tag and a new key for the gate lock. A parking tag and a new key can be obtained from At Your Service on the first floor of the club starting in January. Bicycle registration is required whether using the bike cage or other bike racks located around the club. WM

At Your Service Set to Save the Day New department aims to create a single spot where members can find help with a wide variety of requests, including registration and reservations

ake it easy. That’s the idea behind At Your Service. What is it? At Your Service creates a single point of contact for members that combines reservations, registrations, information and services in one convenient location. Instead of calling or visiting different departments to reserve a tennis court, make a dining reservation, sign up for a class or book a massage, members simply contact At Your Service for assistance with nearly everything on their MAC to-do list. At Your Service specialists help members and guests with a wide variety of requests. Having trouble logging onto the club’s website? Seeking tickets to watch Timbers’ games from the Stadium Terrace? Need a Men’s Bar reservation? Want to book a tennis court? Need to register a child for summer camps? Updating your address or phone number? Or just looking for information about a club

If we do not have the answer at our fingertips we will find an answer and respond promptly. Conveniently located off the Main Lobby, At Your Service replaces the Concierge Desk. Currently under renovation, the project also involves relocating the Security Office and switchboard within the area’s footprint. The current operator room becomes a muchneeded small conference room available for

small gatherings of members and staff. The renovation is scheduled for completion by the end of January. During construction, services are offered in the Main Lobby. Member Events Manager Abby DenUyl has assembled a group of service-oriented employees for At Your Service. Kevin Pollack, a MAC membership specialist for five years, will supervise the team of service specialists: Leslie Hendrix, Matt Walsh, Molly Christison and Dustin Boyersmith. See the sidebar to get acquainted with the team. Using the club’s database and website, At Your Service specialists have a wealth of information available and the training to address most requests. When necessary, they can turn to experts in other departments for assistance, but the intention is to minimize the number of calls transferred to voicemail or members redirected to other areas of the club.

If we do not have the answer at our fingertips we will find an answer and respond promptly. If the request is outside our scope, we will refer members to someone who can help and then follow up to make sure they receive a response,” says DenUyl. Concierge services are still available through At Your Service, and more options may be added in the future, according to Pollack. “We hope to offer more services as amenities to enhance members’ experiences. I look forward exploring new ideas and I welcome suggestions from members.” For more information email atyourservice@themac.com or call 503-517-7240. WM

Leslie Hendrix Hendrix is very happy about At Your Service’s new look. Hendrix started working at MAC in July 2010 for the Child Care department as a teacher where she got to know some of the club’s youngest members. After a year, she transferred over to the concierge desk, where she was able to engage with members of all ages. Hendrix is excited she gets to be a part of the department’s growth and development. Hendrix enjoys knitting, sewing, hiking, camping and spending time with friends and family.

Molly Christison Christison is excited to be At Your Service. Before starting work at MAC in November, Christison attended school at UC Santa Barbara, where she earned a degree in English with a minor in professional writing and editing. She’s worked as a news editor, food writer and blogger, and is excited to

working as a concierge his first year before transferring to Member Services. Now, Pollack is the supervisor for the At Your Service Department, and is excited for the chance to exceed the member experience and overall service at MAC. When Pollack is not at the club, he’s most likely at a Beavers or Trail Blazers game. He also enjoys blogging, golfing, traveling, hunting, and spending time with family.

Kevin Pollack Pollack is excited to be starting a new chapter with MAC. Pollack came to MAC six years ago,

Matt Walsh Walsh is excited to be one of the faces of At Your Service. You may recognize him from the Front Entrance, where he was located prior to joining the At Your Service team. Walsh has worked at the club for about two years. He looks forward to working alongside the new and familiar members of At Your Service and providing outstanding customer service to club members. Outside of work, Walsh enjoys hiking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and singing karaoke all year long. WM

Join a Rousing Rendition of Annie Belt out the hits from the 1930s-era musical during MAC’s third annual sing-along in the Grand Ballroom

ast year, during the Grease sing-along, the Balladeers drove a car around the Grand Ballroom, the MelloMacs strutted around with foil on their heads, and members of the Social Activities Committee showed how Sandra Dee they could be. This event not only combines three great committees, but creates a unique sense of community among the entire 200-plus-member audience as they participate actively with bags full of favors and props, and sing along as the lyrics skip across the screen. In short, the sing-along is becoming one of many members’ favorite club events, full of surprises, club spirit and fun. This year, adults who are kids at heart and families with children ages 7 and up are invited to participate in another fun rendition. This time, it’s a hard-knock life and Annie is the selection on Friday, Jan. 30. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the movie begins at 7 p.m. Participants are encouraged to eat dinner beforehand at Family Friday, Sports Pub or Men’s Bar. Early 1930s attire or character dress is welcome. The cost to attend is $7 for members and $9 for non-member guests and includes popcorn and a favor bag. A no-host bar is available.

Tuomi also announced that, in addition to the exceptional boy’s youth chorus Tsunami, Brothers Sing On also will feature Splendid Audacity, the men’s group from Pacific University, where he is head of choral music. A new Balladeers’ fellowship tradition began last year with the addition of a third Thursday meetup for the group outside the Sports Pub, “and I suspect there may be a short singing component added to that for the entertainment of club members,” Tuomi said.

Learn About the Rich History of Rugs A rug is both art in a home as well as a craft of weaving for others. Hear the fascinating history of rugs and the stories behind them during a Culture and Style Luncheon from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19. Presenter Christiane Millinger of Christiane Millinger Oriental Rugs and Textiles is a trusted source in the industry. The handmade modern and antique rugs and textiles in her showroom are individually chosen from around the world. These treasures reflect the beauty of pure wool, silk, natural vegetal dyes and fair labor practices. Working in the rug business more than 25 years, she has heard many theories on what makes a rug good, what to look out for when purchasing a rug, rules on rug sizes, and more. Millinger, who emigrated from Austria in her early adulthood, was lucky to begin her career in conjunction with a rug renaissance, under the generous tutelage of Robert Mann, in one of the leading rug and textile conservation studios in the country. She opened her showroom in the Pearl District in 2000. Make reservations at theMAC.com or call 503-517-7235. The cost is $23 per member and $26 per guest.

Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award Nominees

Sydney Mesher

Steve Grow

Aaron Paulson

Sydney Mesher was born without a left hand, but that’s never stopped her from participating wholeheartedly in any activity, especially dance. “She has a wonderful sense of humor and has been such an inspiration to strangers who have seen her dance that she has brought them to tears – not out of pity but the sheer joy of seeing such passion and radiance in her movement,” says MAC Dance Coach Laura Haney. Mesher is an outstanding dancer who has been recognized year after year at the national level, and has been an outstanding teammate on the MAC Company Dancers. This year, some of her many accolades included winning the Senior Female Jump VIP at the annual Jump Convetion, and landing a spot on the Senior Female Best Dancer Top 20 at the annual Dance Awards, a national event.

Steve Grow has been an advocate for handball since joining the club in 1989, leading the way as both a mentor and athlete. Grow is a strong believer that the events he helps to organize should be self funding. How successful is he at fundraising? In 2004, the handball tournamnet subcommittee paid for its events, then made donations to the Handball Committee, Racquetball Committee and Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Grow’s on-court accolades are nontoo shabby; he’s been to the semifinals at Worlds, but its his advocacy that stands out. He organizes a weekly outdoor game and is working with the City of Portland to rehab the city’s lone one-wall court. He recently spearheaded an effort to send a member to Irish National Championships. And he is also chair of the Irv Alten Handball Foundation, which has funded a MAC Athletic member to play on the Pro Handball Tour for the past two years.

By 2010, Aaron Paulson had already competed in five Paralympic Games, winning two gold medals and a bronze. Time to retire? Nope. Paulson switched sports instead, and has been training with MAC member coach Sam Drevo to qualify for the 2016 Rio Paralympics in the 200-meter outrigger canoe race. Paulson contracted polio when he was an infant living in Bombay, India, and was left on the stpes of an orphanage. The disease left him with limited use of his legs, but with an irrepressible spirit. He had only been on a kayak once when he and Drevo met in MAC’s Exercise and Conditioning Room in 2010. “Aaron has a lot of positive energy. And the nice thing is his compassion,” says training partner Chip Sells. “For an athlete ot have that is awesome. He gets it because he he had to deal with challenges all of his life.” And when Paulson isn’t working on his own goals, he volunteers helping disabled veterans learn to paddle.

Dance • Age 17

What motivates you? My family is what constantly motivates me. They support my aspirations, and dream my dreams with me. It is such a blessing and it is so humbling to have such a wonderful family that wishes the best for me. They constantly inspire me to work harder to achieve the career of my dreams.   Talk about dealing with adversity. I was born without my left hand, which has created minute obstacles in my dance training because I am not able to easily do a move or a step sometimes. It can be frustrating and embarrassing to have to ask the choreographer to change the step for me, but through my experience, I have grown to not let it affect me. I now am confident with my hand; I believe that it makes me unique. I do not let my hand inhibit me, in fact, I try to model that anything can be done. I think it is important for people to realize that obstacles can be overcome.

Handball • Age 63

What motivates you? Whether it is my career or in sports, what motivates me is performing at my highest level possible, and enabling those around me to reach their full potential. Helping someone achieve results they did not realize were possible is probably the greatest satisfaction of all. Talk about dealing with adversity. It is difficult for me to point to one specific instance in which I have faced adversity in sports. It was not one particular instance as much as it was a pattern. I had reached a point where I was not able to break through to the next level and what I realized is that it was not any one thing, but rather a number of things. Foremost, was the confidence that I could succeed. To move forward, as in my career, I sought out those that were succeeding and sought their mentorship. Having people believe in you and believing in yourself are the two biggest factors to success whether in business or sports.

Paddling • Age 40

What motivates you? Knowing that I have been blessed with the gift of life and given the opportunity to be inspired and to inspire. Life is too short to worry about things you can’t control. I choose to see it, believe it, achieve it, and be it. “Don’t just watch the fire burn; be the accelerant that keeps it going” Talk about dealing with adversity. After contracting polio at the age of 6 months in Bombay, India; a year later I was fortunate enough to be adopted and live in the United States. Doctors had told my mom and dad that I would never be able to walk due to the severity of the disease, which had primarily left the muscles in my legs to atrophy. As I progressed in through my young adulthood, I proved the doctors wrong by playing indoor soccer and Teeball as a kid, and then later on competing in 5 Paralympic games and winning 2 golds and bronze medals in swimming.

Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Nominees

Anna Dickson Dance • Age 17

Anna Dickson has been a leader in the MAC Dance program for years. A natural athlete, her potential was clear early on, when she shifted her focus from gymnastics to dance in 2007. She was recognized early by top industry professionals, and repeatedly earned competitive merit scholarships, which are not easily attained. Dickson has never shied away from hard work, and it shows in her results. Over the past nominating period, her solo performances received platinum awards at NYCDA Regionals in Vancouver, Company Dance Regionals in Seattle, JUMP Regionals in Portland, and NYCDA Nationals in New York, where she competed for the title of National Senior. “While her level of skill could be intimidating to others on her team, Anna’s demeanor has the opposite effect, and her friendships thrive on her kindness and the fact that she is an inspiration to her peers,” says Dance Coach Laura Haney. “She is extremely supportive and positive at all times.” What motivates you? I’ve always loved communicating through movement. When I dance, I’m motivated to execute artistry and meaning through physical expression and music. I’ve been fortunate at the MAC to have a supportive group of fellow dance company members and excellent teachers who constantly encourage me to work to my full potential. Talk about overcoming adversity. A couple years ago, following a rigorous summer dance intensive in New York City, I injured a bone in my foot from overuse. I returned home excited to continue my dance training, but after going to the doctor, I was told that I would need to sit out for six weeks. After initially feeling sorry for myself, I realized that there was a great deal of information I could absorb by simply listening to my teachers and observing my fellow dancers. This experience made me appreciate the value of patience and the importance of perseverance in the face of setbacks.

Tristan Furnary

Henry Schoonmaker

Tristan Furnary continued to rewrite MAC history with his accomplishments last year. He successfully transformed himself from a great age-group swimmer to a viable contender at the Junior National level. This is not an easy task to accomplish in swimming; the pool of talent is 275,000 swimmers deep. Last year Tristan set two new major marks in the history of Oregon Swimming and swimming at MAC. He won the 100-yard backstroke at the NASA Junior National Cup in Clearwater, Fla., setting a new Oregon record for 15-16-year-old boys. It was the 36th fastest 100 backstroke in the history of USA Swimming in this event in his age group. He also set a new MAC Open record in the 200-yard backstroke. Furnary also managed a new MAC age-group record in the 100 butterfly, which was previously his weakest stroke. “Tristan continues to be an excellent student, humble and supportive teammate and a good role model for all the MAC swimmers,” says Coach Alex Nikitin. “His successes inspire everyone around him and fuel the drive to succeed in training and competition.”

Henry Schoonmaker was named a preseason All-American in NCAA Division I lacrosse this year, and subsequently named captain of his team at Syracuse University. The Orangemen are a perennial top-10 team, ending last season ranked No. 2 in the country. Schoonmaker, a midfielder, scored 17 points last season, with 15 goals. Schoonmaker has torn his shoulder multiple times during his career, including once during his freshman season at Syracuse in 2011. But he has still managed to become one of the best midfielders in the nation, notching five multi-goal games last season. He is also a standout in the classroom, being named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll last season, and earning a spot on the Syracuse University Athletic Director’s honor roll during both semesters. He also coaches junior players during the summer months. Before attending Syracuse, Schoonmaker played for Lincoln High School, where he led the team to two state championships and was named Oregon’s Player of the Year. He can be found working out at MAC nearly every day during the summer months.

What motivates you? My motivation derives from my attempt to continually get faster. I love racing and ascending to the challenges my coach, teammates and competitors offer.

What motivates you? To strive to become better for my team and the idea that I can always be better.

Swimming • Age 16

Talk about overcoming adversity. Junior Nationals occurs twice a year, in the winter and in the summer. Last winter I qualified for this competition but was unable to attend due to illness. I was disappointed, as I had been training for this meet for several months. Yet, I used this missed opportunity to motivate myself to work hard in preparation for the summer competition. I trained intensely and had the support of my coach, teammates and family to help me stay focused on obtaining my goals.

Lacrosse • Age 22

Talk about overcoming adversity. I dislocated my shoulder and ended up having surgery my freshman year of college. I was out for six months but I learned to enjoy the process of rehabilitation. Since I couldn’t use my right hand to shoot for six months, I took it as an opportunity to work on my weak hand. I enjoyed working on my weakness. There was some fear that I might not be good as I was, so I tried to become better than what I was. I believed that by hurting myself that year I could become a better player for my team. And I think I accomplished that.

Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Nominees

Gigi Stoll

Brett Walker

Gigi Stoll demonstrates sportsmanship and leadership through her participation in golf both with Beaverton High School and the Oregon Golf Association Junior Golf program as well as in her life outside of golf. Her list of victories puts her on par with the best youth golfers in the state’s history. This past summer alone, she was the OGA Women’s Amateur and Junior Amateur champion, LPGA Classic Amateur Open Champion, and became the third ever Portland Classic Amateur Open Champion to make the cut at the LPGA Portland Classic Tour Event. Stoll also excels off of the golf course. Jason Sarmiento, the Activities and Leadership Director at Beaverton HS, who has observed her on the course and at school in her role on the Leadership Counsel describes her as a humble, thoughtful young woman who is respected by her peers, coaches and teachers alike. “As a senior who is on the Beaverton HS Leadership Council, she works to incorporate all students and wants a diverse voice considered.” He noted that Stoll will speak up for change and is focused on doing what she can to make school a better place for all the students.

Last year, Brett Walker became the first MAC athlete to make the American Youth Climbing Team when he placed third at USA Nationals in February. Combined with a sixth place finish at SBS Nationals in July, Walker qualified to compete in the Pan Am Championships in November. Walker was also named the MAC Climbing Team’s Male Athlete of the Year for his positive attitude and leadership throughout the 2013-2014 season. Walker started climbing at the club in 2008, when MAC’s climbing team was just getting off the ground. Walker is also an outstanding student, rounding out his freshman year at Lake Oswego High School with a 4.0 grade point average. “Brett’s commitment to climbing excellence is recognized by his teammates and he also confidently plays the role of leader to his peers and to the younger athletes on the team,” says Coach Drew White. “Without Brett’s hard work, dedication and leadership, Multnomah Athletic Club would not have the national recognition that it does today.”

Golf • Age 17

What motivates you? My motivation comes directly from competition. People all over the world are striving for similar goals as me, but that is my motivation to work harder. Usually, the people with the best work ethic and heart come out on top in one way or another. Talk about dealing with adversity. A few years ago, I competed in the 2012 LPGA US Open Championship with all of the best professional golfers. I played my heart out, but still missed the cut line and did not preform my best. I realized all the mistakes I had made and learned and built on them. This year I qualified for the 2014 LPGA Portland Classic. In this event I made the cut and placed 52nd! I had overcome the barriers I faced previously and pushed myself mentally and physically to be better prepared for this opportunity.

Climbing • Age 15

What motivates you? I am motivated by trying to be the best I can possibly be. In school and in athletics, I try to stay focused and work hard. All I can ask of myself is to give it my very best shot. Talk about dealing with adversity. Rock climbing has always been a challenge for me. I was not born with the ideal climber’s body. I have a stockier frame whereas most of the best climbers in the world are thin and tall with lean muscle mass. For years I was in the middle of the pack, but I was determined to find a way to break out and succeed. With a very intensive focus on practice to increase my strength and encouragement from my long-time coach and friend Peter Julia, I stuck with it and now I am able to compete on the same level with the best youth climbers in the world.

Elli Wiita

Synchronized Swimming Age 17 Last year, Elli Wiita became the first MAC swimmer to ever compete on both the USA Junior and Senior National Teams. As a member of the Junior National Team, she won gold at the U.S. Open, besting several international teams. She also became the first MAC swimmer to compete at the Junior World Championships, helping the U.S. notch its highest placing in three years. As a member of the Senior National Team, which includes the country’s elite synchro swimmers, Wiita continued to train for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero. “Elli has been a role model and inspiration to all swimmers in the syncrho program at MAC, says Coach Lucie Svrcinova. What motivates you? Ever since my first international competition in Cali, Colombia, I have had this ineffable desire to go further. There is nothing like hearing your national anthem play while standing on the top of the podium. This moment can never be recreated unless you continue to push your limits. Talk about overcoming adversity. When I was 13 years old I moved up to a new age division, 13-15. This meant that I was the youngest competitor at competitions. When I went to National Team Trials, I placed 24th. This was quite an accomplishment, because there was only one swimmer who placed ahead of me who was also 13 years old. The following year I went to trials, aiming to place in the top 10 so I could compete in Italy that summer. Unfortunately, I placed 24th. I was devastated; after a whole year of training I ended with the exact same ranking. The following year I was 15 and decided I needed to work arduously. By the end of the year, I made the National Team and placed first at the UANA Pan American Championships. Since this competition, I decided I never wanted to not make the National Team again. I have maintained this goal and have been appointed to six National Teams so far.

Lexi York

Racquetball • Age 17 Lexi York’s results speak for themselves. As a senior in high school, she can already hold her own with some of the best women racquetball players in the world. York won high school national titles in both singles and doubles this year, and attended USA Junior Racquetball Camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado. She was named captain of the USA Junior Team that traveled to Cali, Columbia to compete in World Championships in 2014. She also won two golds at the National Singles Tournament in California, and gave the No. 2 professional women’s player in the world a run for her money in an exhibition match. And she did all of this despite battling stress fractures in both legs, and sitting out most of the high school season. York is a great advocate for the sport, recruiting her entire high school team and donating equipment to her teammates. Off the court, York works with local kids on the Nike Campus with the Anthony Newman Sport Camp program, and shares her love of sports.

What motivates you? I have played several sports; soccer, basketball, softball, track and racquetball. I was drawn to racquetball because it forced me to grow mentally and physically. I’ve learned that I work best relying solely on me. I also feel comfortable in the racquetball world. I have formed strong relationships both nationally and internationally playing racquetball. Talk about dealing with adversity. When I was about 14 years old, I would freeze up on the court when I got to highlevel competition. I felt like my legs were cement. One player would always beat me and I knew I had the skills to beat her. I found a coach, a great inspiration in a man named Tony Kraus. I started playing with my dad to speed up my timing and elevate my game. I also went to a mental coach to teach me how to face those challenges. My game made a drastic change in the next year. Sure, I still get nervous, but I know how to deal with it and overcome it. WM

ATHLETICS

Not Sure About Decathlon? Give this a ‘Try’ With a new mini-decathlon event slated for February, members can see what events they like best, and have a bit of spirited competition with their friends.

AC is about to celebrate 125 years in existence. During those years, the club has experienced many changes and has developed into one of the finest athletic and social clubs in the United States. One of the many things that separate MAC from other private clubs is its ability to innovate, develop and change with the times while keeping its core club values. The Decathlon Committee is responsible for developing programs that are suitable for all members. In a recent member poll, members have stated that they’d like to see a “mini” version of the existing Decathlon format. Members have cited that their trepidation to participate is due largely to their concern of injury and/or that the Decathlon is perceived as a daunting undertaking. The committee listened to those concerns and developed a new program that encourages athletes to participate in a newly devised event: the MAC Try-Athlon. This event will accomplish many things by allowing participants to

“try” a condensed version of the traditional event, and promote year-round training; currently six months elapse between the Team Decathlon in November and the Spring Decathlon in May. It also provides a program that allows members to ease into the traditional Decathlon, nullifying the concern of having to initially train for

your participation in the inaugural MAC Try-Athlon. This week was selected as a midway point between the existing Team and Spring Decathlons, as well as dovetailing off of the Winter Blitz (see sidebar). This should allow members to concentrate on Winter Blitz exercises while simultaneously preparing for the Try-Athlon. The

Try-Athlon Try - verb: 1. make an attempt to do something 2. Test something new or different in order to see if it’s suitable, effective or pleasurable. Athlon - (Latin meaning); noun: 1. labor/ task/ struggle | pain : athletic contest; 2. to exert in a multi-event athletic endeavor. 10 events. It’s the goal of the committee to encourage members to participate in their normal routine/activities or workout regimens while providing a platform to test their developing fitness goals. Mark your calendars for the week of Monday, Feb. 9 through Feb. 16 for

selected events encompass strength, speed/ skill and conditioning events and include the 500-meter row, one minute jump rope, 40-yard shuttle run, vertical leap, push ups, and a three-minute bike among others. The scoring will emulate that of the existing Decathlon points system while

Athletics modifying other events to accommodate the reduced duration of those effected events. Those who serve as MAC committee members will have the opportunity to compete for the inaugural MAC TryAthlon Cup awarded to the highest collective point total. Those who elect to participate in the Winter Blitz program are eligible for a reduced entry fee to the Try-athlon. The Decathlon Committee is excited to bring this new event to MAC members as part of its ongoing commitment of exercise excellence. We look forward to this exciting new event as well as your participation.

Team Decathlon completes another year of competition Chalk up another successful Team Decathlon. The Team Decathlon compliments the Spring Decathlon by introducing or reacquainting athletes to some core decathlon events. It’s only a week long and each participant only competes in five events, so this is a great way to test the waters and see why the decathlon event is fun and challenging. Participants match up with friends or family; evenly dividing up 10 events among two-person teams to match their abilities or preferences. The Team Decathlon event consists of pull-ups, bench press, jump rope, 40-yard shuttle, mile run, stationary bike, 1,000-meter row, vertical jump, basketball free throws and 50-yard swim. This year’s results had Team Cause and Effect (Mark Bussey and Ryan Moshofsky) with the highest total score of 9,003 winning the Friends – Male category. The Blazers (Julian Illingworth and Michael Blindheim) had next highest score of 8,809. Tenant brothers Joe and Bob teamed up with their sons for an Interfamily Rivalry. Team Tennant (Joe and Chris) won the Father and Son Category and were treated by Bob and Matt to dinner. David and Shannon O’Brien won the “Husband and Wife” Category. Frank Sherwood and Terri Cook won the Friends – Coed Category. Bridgett Connolly and Kate Russell won the Friends - Women Category. Team Sore Muscles (John Helmer and Ed Stoner) teamed up to win a new category, AD/AC Challenge. Committees were challenged to enter teams and seven committees competed. The Decathlon Committee rounded up their ringers and won the committee challenge with 8,734 points. Tennis was just behind at 8,713 with Golf coming in third place. WM

Swimmers Win the Numbers Game M

AC Swim Team is a numbers game, and the numbers keep growing into a larger program with faster swimmers. Looking back at 2011, 35 athletes in the competitive swimming program at MAC attended state-level competition. In 2014, that number grew to 79. A steady increase in the program has resulted in an increase in numbers in all levels of competition, from the novice to senior. The increase in participants and level of competition has an effect at the national level. This year, MAC had four athletes listed in the top 10 in the country in various age groups. Kevin Keil (11-12) was fourth place in the 100-meter backstroke, fifth place in the 200 individual medley, sixth place in the 50 backstroke, and sixth place in the 400 IM; Elise Kruetzer (13-14) was sixth in the 100 freestyle, and eighth in the 50 free; Van Mathias (13-14) was fourth in the 100 butterfly; and Tristan Furnary (15-16) was sixth in the 100-yard back. Graham Inman is just 8 years old and has made the Oregon Top 5 in the 50 and 100 butterfly. Graham is energetic and loves to race. We see a bright future for him in swimming. Kevin Keil is a joy to both his coach and teammates. He always has a smile for everyone and brings positive energy to practice. Kevin started swimming when he was 8 years old and earned A times within his first few meets. Since then he has been unstoppable, with 23 Top 5 times, breaking MAC records and state records, and placing in the top 10 in the national rankings in four events. He broke four shortcourse MAC records and one long-course MAC record in 2014, along with two Oregon state swimming records, in the 200 and 400 IM. Not bad, considering our limited pool time last summer. Elise Kreutzer practices with intention, and that is how she will perform in her races. That is Elise’s motto. Her work ethic is stellar. She listens, practices and puts everything into play in her races. She is the consummate student of sport. All of which will serve her well in whatever she chooses to do in her future. Beau Lonnquist is hard-working in practice, but that is nothing compared to what he gives in competition. This year, his birthday fell right between 10-and-under state and 11-14 state, which are one week apart. Beau competed in both state championships, placing Top 5 in all events. When he gets out of the water after a race, his legs are shaking and he can barely walk. He leaves nothing in the pool. He even has a signature backstroke finish owed to Tristan Furnary.

Van Mathias is a naturally talented swimmer. I have watched him since he was a wee kid in the lesson program. What makes Van special is that he takes his talent and hones it in practice to develop not only talent but an acumen for his sport. It is exciting to watch him race. Khai Tran has an amazing dedication to swimming. Each day he comes to practice prepared to work hard and learn. He is talented in all his strokes while excelling in the freestyle and breaststroke. Khai completes our 10-and-under relay team and is a true team player. Isabella Wallace is a new MAC member who came to our team from PAC. We are excited to have her join our program. This is the first year she has trained and competed in the long-course season, during which she earned two Top 5 times in backstroke and breaststroke. Isabella is a delight to work with and well-liked by everyone on our team. Sydney Wilson is an 8 year old who had the courage to swim a 200 freestyle in our Long Course season. This is a long event for one so young, but she swam it and earned an Oregon Top 5 time. Sydney is a talented young athlete who comes to practice with a smile on her face every day. Josh Nguyen (13-14) is new to the program and already a state finalist in the 100- and 200-yard and meter breaststroke. !3 year of champion in the 200-meter breaststroke this past summer, winning the event from the outside lane. Brynne O’Shea (13-14) was a state and age group finalist, as well as a senior sectional qualifier. He was a backstroker by choice, but made big improvements in all other strokes and the IMs. Tristan Furnary is a junior at Catlin Gable who made a successful transition from age group to senior swimmer. He set a new Oregon record in 100-yard backstroke, which is also a new open MAC record, and ranks sixth in the Nation. Tristan also is a Junior National Qualifier in the 100/200-yard backstroke, 100/200-yard breaststroke, 100-yard butterfly and the 200/400-yard IM. Tyler Soo has been consistently making Oregon Top 5 since he was 12. A versatile swimmer with a knack for sprint events, he is primed to enter the national scene of competition this year. Grant Gooding is a senior at Lasalle High School who swam for the AMC swim team since he was 6. A versatile and very capable swimmer, he specializes in Individual Medley, breastroke and backstroke, and can swim sprint as well as middle-distance events. Grant is a team leader and a great mentor to younger swimmers. Liam O’Shea is a junior at Lakeridge High and a rapidly improving distance swimmer. He is all-time sixth fastest in the 1650-yard swim at MAC, and expanded his events into the 400 IM and backstroke. Liam is one of the hardest workers on the team and often sets the standard for everyone to follow. WM

Yoga

Stretching: A Natural Way to Feel Great E very animal naturally stretches. Animals stretch upon rising, before going to sleep, or while preparing to play. Stretching feels good. It improves circulation of blood and oxygen to your muscles, nerves and bones. Long, strong muscles are more efficient at moving the body around, and protecting us from injury. It is said that each one of us is a microcosm of the universe – like drops of the ocean, containing everything within us, every trait, every capacity that the universe does. What the universe is, so are we. If the universe is ever-expanding, it is also in our nature to continually become more of ourselves. To grow, to develop, to diversify, proliferate, deepen. The desire to stretch is the desire to fully experience ourselves. In Sanskrit, the ancient language of yoga, they have a word for this – poornatva – fullness.

How to Stretch Many of us have lost touch with our instinctive understanding of how to move in our bodies. We think of stretching as hanging down limply over locked knees until our fingers touch the ground. Or we stretch, bouncing repeatedly over a flaccid hamstring, along with our shoe-clad foot resting limply on the seat of a kitchen chair. The most important thing to remember about yoga stretches is that the stretching is but one aspect of a yoga pose, never the pose itself. The extending or expanding part of yoga is complemented by so many other actions. First we pause, take a breath or two, and become aware of ourselves and the moment. We also engage our muscles as we stretch them – yes, yoga is a strengthening exercise

also. Perhaps most importantly, in yoga stretching, we learn to align ourselves within the stretch. To do this well, we really benefit from the guidance of a well-trained teacher. That said, simple yoga stretches can be safely explored using the following pattern: 1. Begin by putting yourself into the approximate shape of the pose or stretch you want to perform. If the approximate shape of the pose is an extreme stretch, or in any way painful, modify the pose. Try backing off a bit. 2. Take a moment to soften. Feel the gravitational pull of the Earth, and allow yourself to rest into it, like the embrace of an old friend. Pay attention to your inhale and exhale, and let your inner body sweetly expand upward and outward as it fills you. 3. Then, draw all of your muscles lovingly in around that soft, expanded feeling. 4. Finally, while maintaining all of those actions from deep within you – stretch. Reach out to your edges and beyond in all directions, like a star. Ready to get your yoga stretch on? Alison Alstrom teaches a beginning yoga stretch series Sundays from 2:15-3:30 p.m. in January. More experienced practitioners who are working with injuries or other physical limitations also are welcome. The five-week series costs $145 and is limited to eight students. For more information and to register, visit theMAC.com. –Alison Alstrom WM

Learn the Basics with Yoga 101 Class New to yoga and unsure where to fit in? Bring in the new year right with Lisa Buchmiller and Kimmie Brunke in Yoga 101. This tranquil, fiveweek yoga session empowers the body to relax, strengthen and rejuvenate. Yoga 101 is a perfect way to prepare the mind and body for future yoga and group exercise classes.

Not only are there physical benefits to yoga, there is an unmistakable calm and serene feeling that comes from the practice. There are two sessions of Yoga 101, one on Mondays starting Jan. 5, and one on Wednesdays, beginning Jan 7. Classes are from noon-1 p.m. in the Team Training Room on the sub-basement level. Each weekly class covers breath work, a gentle warm-up and five basic poses plus modifications. This is the perfect class for members new or interested in yoga, and those who already take yoga looking for more modifications/detail to alignment. Each session is limited to eight people. The cost is $145. MAC offers anywhere from three to seven yoga classes a day, from beginner to advanced levels, so if you are wondering what class to do next or where to fit in now, visit the yoga calendar at theMAC.com to find a session that’s right for you.

questions or put you on an exercise program to get you to your goals. Cyclists are always looking to gain leg strength, but don’t overlook your upper body. Having a strong core, shoulders, neck and arms helps alleviate fatigue on longer rides. Incorporating bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder shrugs, the bench press and lat pull downs strengthen upper-body muscles and, if done correctly, can turn you into a cycling machine without adding extra bulk. Train the entire body, not just parts, and you can experience better health for the rest of your life. Speaking of entire body, let’s not leave the heart out of the equation. You get plenty of cardio exercise while riding, and it’s important to maintain that fitness. One option is through spin classes. Our studio has an amazing view of Providence Park (if that’s what it’s called this year) and instructors often run out of open bikes. We also have numerous pieces of cardio equipment on which you can train for endurance or run a series of intervals. Once you land on a favorite piece of equipment from MAC’s amazing assortment, you can include cardio equipment year-round to keep you fit. The new committee year begins soon, and the Cycling Committee is always seeking “new blood” to further enhance members’ cycling experience. We meet at 6 p.m. first Monday of every month.

We actively use Yahoo and Facebook to keep members up to date about ride locations, upcoming events, and other group rides in which we participate.

Our heart pumps blood into our bodies to keep us trucking, but what happens when there is a life-threatening bump in the road, like a heart attack? For those who have had a heart attack, cardiac rehabilitation programs are becoming increasingly popular around the globe. MAC offers a Cardiac and Pulmonary Wellness Program through Legacy Heart Institute for members who are at risk for or diagnosed with heart disease, have had a heart attack or heart surgery, have cardiac interventions such as angioplasty or stent placements, or who experience chest pain. The program is a medically supervised conditioning and maintenance program.

Polar Bears

These Bears Steer Clear of Cold Water An unauthorized and unscientific study reveals that 96 percent of the club’s members believe MAC’s Polar Bears celebrate the new year by jumping into an icy river. This is not true. The Polar Bears are a group of gentlemen who play water volleyball every Wednesday at noon in the West Pool. They are currently accepting new players. New players are welcomed by friendly veterans who introduce them to the game. The new member does not have to swim (the water is 4 feet deep), they do not need to have outstanding athletic skills, they get moderate exercise, and they can expect to have a great time. Another unauthorized and unscientific survey shows the current Polar Bears range in age from 70 to 88, have been participating for an average of six years, and enjoy the camaraderie. If interested, show up at noon at the West Pool and be warmly greeted by the Polar Bears. - Jim Faville Continued on page 62

Personal Training

Find Balance in Yin Yang Fusion Class There is a saying, “Balance in all things,” that applies to every aspect of your life. This balance also can be called yin/yang – an interaction between two opposing forces. With darkness there is light, with hot there is cold, etc. Almost everything in nature has a counterpart. In terms of fitness and wellness, there are yin and yang types of activities. Yang is more upbeat, high intensity and strengthening, whereas yin is more relaxed, engaging and focused on stretching. An upcoming workout series is built on this yin-yang balance, providing the best of both worlds in one hour. Join personal trainers Tony Louie and Lisa Buchmiller for a five-week Yin/Yang Fusion training session on from 1-2 p.m. on Fridays. The first 30 minutes will be high-intensity training with a mixture of boxing, mixed martial arts and sports conditioning. This will be followed with 30 minutes of stretching with yoga alignment and myofascia release. This Yin Yang Fusion training is truly the most balanced and effective workout for the mind and body. Starting Jan. 9, bring in the New

Year with some yin-yang balance to your life. Cost is $145, and registration is required.

Squash

Competition Draws a Wide Range of Players Some of the world’s best squash players will be at MAC next month, battling it out for $15,000 in prize money in the Oregon Open. Scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, through Saturday, Feb. 21, the tournament is a major boost for Oregon squash and attracts top men from around the globe. Last year’s Open brought a group of competitive, hungry young players from 11 countries. MAC members have opportunities for private and group lessons with some of these world-class players. MAC members can also host players – a great way to learn about what it’s like to travel the world playing squash for a living. Expect exciting matches. Last year’s semifinals included an epic, 140-minute match in which Omar Abdel Meguid defeated Scotsman Alan Clyne 3-2. Joe Lee from England won against Mexican player Alfredo Avila in a very long five-game match, and went on to win the tournament in a 3-0, 34-minute match, beating the No. 1-seeded Meguid, who was exhausted after the semifinal. With nine-time U.S. national squash champion and longtime MAC member Julian Illingworth now living in Portland, and MAC’s new squash pro Ashley Read in residence, there will be lots of fun and challenging events this year. There are all kinds of ways to get involved, from corporate and small business sponsorship packages to family passes and individual tickets. Local support has been excellent in the past, and the tournament Organizing Committee hopes for the same in 2015. The overall fundraising goal for the 2015 Oregon Open is $28,000. For ticket information, a schedule and hosting and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Anders Giltvedt at giltvedta@gmail.com. For sessions with the pros, please contact MAC squash Coach Ashley Read at ARead@themac.com or 503-517-7585. Continued on page 64

They range in size from a strip of land barely large enough to accommodate an identifying sign to well-known Central Park in New York City. Of all the city parks in the entire United States, there is one that outshines all the others for its natural ecology, century-old history and outstanding trail system – Portland’s Forest Park. Unique among park concepts, Forest Park is the nation’s only city park that was conceived, developed and managed to be a designated urban wilderness. What is an urban wilderness? Is that different from an urban park? Why is Forest Park not called Forest Park Wilderness? Get answers to these questions and more at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, when local author and biologist Marcy Houle provides explanations regarding the wilderness designation. Houle shares the knowledge and passion she has felt for this exceptional landscape for the last 35 years.

Closing Thoughts Tom Sidely is a member of MAC’s Membership Committee. With the 2014 Lottery behind us, Sidley explains the process of how applicants become full-time members.

How Applicants Become Members at MAC A fter serving almost two years on the Membership Committee, I am often asked what the committee does and why it takes so long for an applicant to become a member. I am pleased to explain the important work we do on the committee to ensure the quality and character of members admitted to MAC.

What we do The Membership Committee recommends, establishes and monitors policies and procedures for club membership. There are 12 senior members on the committee and we serve three-year terms. At our monthly meetings we consider a variety of membership requests and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees. The committee works closely with the Membership Department. The staff receives applications, insuring that each is complete, and gathers information about the applicants from proposers, references and public records searches. Each month, several Membership Committee members are assigned to review the applications in detail. We also take turns reviewing requests for medical inactive status, resignations and reinstatements.

I have found serving on the Membership Committee both an honor and an important responsibility because our decisions impact the club for years to come. At the following Membership Committee meeting each reviewer reports on the applications assigned to them. Most are simply recommended without discussion, but we bring to the full committee’s attention those with background issues, negative comments from current members or other concerns. After thorough discussion the committee may vote to recommend or deny the applicant, or to table the application so we can seek more information. Our recommendations are sent to the Board of Trustees, which makes the final decisions on membership elections. MAC membership is a privilege that is not granted lightly. Proposers and references sometimes question the necessity of completing forms and writing letters addressing specific questions about applicants. I can assure you that we read every letter and check every line on the forms. If forms are incomplete or questions arise during the review, we seek clarification from the proposer, references or applicants.

Why it takes time It takes approximately 90 days for an application to go through the review and approval process if all is in order. First, a senior member must submit a completed application to propose someone

70 | The Wınged M |

january 2015

for membership. The names of those to be considered at the next Membership Committee meeting are posted in the lobby for 30 days to invite member comments, both positive and negative. During this time, references are received and a public records search conducted. Once all the necessary information is obtained, the Membership Committee reviews and recommends each applicant to the Board of Trustees. Upon Board approval, the applicant is notified, pays the initiation fee and attends a new member reception. The process takes longer if references are slow to respond or if information is missing. Applicants may be subject to a special review if questions arise from the background check, negative references or comments from current members. In these cases, the Membership Committee chair appoints a special subcommittee to review the information and interview the applicant or members to determine if the person is a good fit for our club community. The subcommittee then presents its findings and a recommendation to the full Membership Committee for action.

Why do lottery applicants wait up to three years? The board has established a resident headcount target, which is currently 17,158 members seven and older. The Membership Committee must balance the number of incoming resident members with those going out in order to stay within the target. Each month, members leave the resident headcount through resignations, deaths and transfers to nonresident or other categories. These vacant membership slots are then filled by reinstatements, transfers into resident categories and new elections. The Membership Committee receives applications from many sources: nonmembers who marry members, legacy children joining as adults, athletic members and member coaches who elect to regular memberships, and Diversity Admissions Program invitees. Per club policy, these applicants are not subject to a waitlist. If there are membership openings available after admitting these applicants each month, we look to those on the lottery waitlists to fill them. MAC’s membership lottery system is designed to create a manageable waitlist of prospective members to be considered over a period of several years. Each lottery also has specific categories to allow the club to balance the demographics. There were four categories drawn in the 2014 lottery: 338 families age 35 and older, 60 families 21 through 34, 171 individuals 35 and older, and 80 individuals 21 through 34. Each month, beginning in early 2015, the committee begins processing a few applicants from each category, and we expect the intake to extend over the next 24 to 36 months. I have found serving on the Membership Committee both an honor and an important responsibility because our decisions impact the club for years to come. WM
