any members who read a column written by the Treasurer at this time of year have one question in mind: “How much will my dues increase?” As your treasurer, I’m pleased to have an opportunity to write Dave Brezinski a column addressing TREASURER that question along with two others I believe also should be important to each of us: “How involved are members in setting the monthly dues amount?” and “What else should members know about how their money is managed?” The answer to the first question is that dues in all membership categories will increase less than three percent. I believe that is a very reasonable result in the present economic environment, which is characterized by high demand for employees. A significant portion of MAC’s operating expense is associated with paying our more than 600 employees fairly, and the club has done that, while also identifying ways to operate more efficiently and still maintain a premium club experience.

A large number of members, through their committee involvement, contribute significant time and effort to development of the operating budget. The answer to the second question — “How involved are members in setting the monthly dues amount?” — should make us all pleased and grateful. A large number of members, through their committee involvement, contribute significant time and effort to development of the operating budget. The budget process spans three months and begins at the “grassroots” level, when staff and members of committees, such as the Athletic Committee, consider the financial needs of their area for the coming year, with an eye toward how an optimal member experience can be delivered better and more efficiently.

Then, members of the Budget Subcommittee spend several weeks critically reviewing the work of each department and making tough decisions before submitting the budget to the Budget & Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. In a mature organization, like MAC, efficiencies are often achieved through relatively small incremental changes in operations, and those involved in the budget process did identify some of these improvements. In considering how the membership would be best served in 2019, the Board of Trustees, other members, and staff were deliberate and thoughtful in considering each change. To address the third question regarding how members’ dues are managed, I would like to describe two other areas: capital investment and providing for long-term needs. It is hard to imagine all the capital assets — facilities and equipment — that are necessary to deliver the athletic and social programs and the efficient administration of MAC. These capital assets must periodically be replaced or improved, and planning for this investment occurs through the capital budget process. This process occurs each year in advance of the operating budget process, and it is just as rigorous and involves just as much staff and member teamwork. What about longer-term needs that don’t fall under the operating and capital planning processes? Past Boards of Trustees recognized that more significant spending will likely be needed in the future for expansion or replacement of our present facility. For many years, MAC has set aside money in a Facility Replacement Fund for such projects. Members with professional money management expertise oversee the investment of this fund in a conservatively balanced portfolio. This portfolio, along with the club’s real estate holdings, provides a very reasonable “nest egg” to ensure club viability for future generations of MAC members. So there it is — MAC’s financial planning and management structure is a combination of solid processes and the collaboration of trusted members and staff. I am very pleased to have served as your treasurer this year and to have served with so many dedicated club members and staff who contribute so much to our sound financial management program. Many thanks to all of you.

The January billing statement shows a 2.67 percent increase in monthly dues for a Senior Family membership. This equals $7.75 a month. The annual amount members pay in dues is directly related to that year’s operating budget. The budget was approved by the Board of Trustees on Nov. 14, 2018. For a complete list of dues by category, visit the Membership Information page in The Club section of theMAC.com.

Budget Breakdown: Changes in 2019 Business Office Last year, a $1 fee to mail copies of members’ monthly statement was instituted. The Board of Trustees approved a $1 increase to the fee in 2019 to encourage further participation in the paperless billing program. The new $2 fee will appear on members’ January statement for their February dues unless they call the Business Office to opt out of paper statements prior to that date. This is expected to generate an additional $35,000 in revenue.

Complimentary Services Free coffee had previously been offered in the Women’s Locker Room during operating hours. The cost for this service was anticipated to increase by $14,734 in 2019. The board approved a reduction by that amount for 2019 to keep costs flat. Starting Jan. 14, coffee will be available for members daily in the Women’s Locker Room between 6 and 11:30 a.m., and in the Game Room between 7 and 11:30 a.m. Free lemon wedges have been offered outside of Joe’s at a cost of $26,000 per year. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended, and the Board of Trustees

approved, removing this service as of Jan. 14, 2019, citing member feedback and sanitary issues.

made lightly; the committees and board debated these adjustments to balance actual usage against fiscal responsibility.

Lockers

Sustainability

Last year, locker fees increased by $10 across the board due to high demand. Since then, the basement lockers have reached close to capacity, while those in the subbasement and mezzanine levels have not. The board approved a $10 annual increase on lockers located on the basement level, beginning in the second half of 2019, which is expected to increase revenue by $12,000.

Low-flow showerheads have been rolled out clubwide in all locker rooms for for an estimated water and gas savings of $39,000 per year.

Restaurants In September 2018, MACtinis and 1891 were closed on Mondays as a budgetary savings measure endorsed by the Budget and Finance Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees. Starting in January 2019, the Sports Pub will adjust hours of operation to meet historical business trends. Opening hours will be changed to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and closing hours will be adjusted to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. These changes were not

Throughout the club, members will start to see hands-free dryers in restrooms and a switch to 100 percent recycled paper towels, which will save MAC $7,000 annually.

New Benefits The very popular Open Gym program will be complimentary for parents or caregivers who stay with their children, saving members $6.25 per hour per child in 2019. A new complimentary Wellness Champion concierge service will help members create customized approaches to meet their wellness goals.

appy New Year! As we begin 2019 at the Multnomah Athletic Club, we are at an interesting place in our 128-year history. We are evaluating where we have been in our past, and where we want to go in our future. Our strategic Norm Rich plan is taking shape, GENERAL MANAGER and we have begun to assemble data necessary to make decisions moving forward. This work has been undertaken through a partnership between the Board, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), several committees, and outside consultants.

Hospitality: Do unto others what they want done unto them; servant, but not subservient; solicitous in creating satisfaction; a welcoming and open disposition; caring; people-centric; anticipation of needs and desires; striving to go above and beyond; exceed expectations; professionalism; friendliness; relationship business; deliver extraordinary experiences; “Hospitality is present when something happens for you. It is absent when something happens to you. Those two simple prepositions — for and to — express it all.” (Danny Meyer).

There are several terms — used frequently in meetings and discussions thus far — that I felt needed to be clearly defined to facilitate shared understanding. As a starting point, the ELT brainstormed definitions around the following five: club, governance, hospitality, corporate and family.

Corporate: Business-oriented; best practices: large; slow; bureaucratic; impersonal force; programs; business needs ahead of people; result oriented/driven; formalities; policies and procedures; data driven; structured; bottom line matters most; social responsibility; accountability; structure that enables growth.

Club: Feeling like you belong/are accepted; everyone knows your name; exclusive; home away from home; by invitation only; community; common denominator; shared pride; tribe; organized; benefits for members; stakeholder; choice; common purpose. It is much easier to say yes than no to members. But saying yes too often has sometimes gotten us into trouble in regard to overcommitting space, staff, programs and budget. By saying yes, we do continue to bring in more members and staff. On average, we receive 3,400 members and staff daily, a number that has risen by two to three percent most years. Governance: Provides strategic, long-term direction at the 30,000-foot level; provides guardrails for management to operate within; advocate/voice of the membership; tactical input when solicited; speed bump; roadblock; partnership; oversight; member-governed versus member-run; advisory. Our governance model is complex and cumbersome, but it a model that the club has used since our founding in 1891. Member input is important and useful, but can slow down progress and decision making as we strive for answers that will benefit the most members. Our more than 50 committees represent an incredible amount of oversight, and the Board will review them as part of the strategic planning process.

Hospitality is an important part of what we do every day, and most clubs would never exist without skillfully practicing hospitality. It is what members look for when they join a club — the better the hospitality we deliver, the more special we are.

Corporate is a term I avoid linking with our club. Every time it is used by members or staff, it hurts our ELT’s pride and purpose. While I never doubt the sincerity with which this term is being delivered, I associate it with trying to move our club from less of a family to more of a business. We are a $40-million business that needs to have appropriate checks and balances on how to operate. As we transition to a stronger business sense, these changes are difficult and will take time to weave within and throughout our organization. Family: From an employee-perspective: who you feel most comfortable with; who you want to spend time with; you don’t get to choose; loyalty; people we stand by no matter what; multi-generational. From a member perspective: kid-friendly; family programs and spaces; common interests; community; less exclusive; more compromising; perceived safe zone; legacy. Our members and staff are our professional family. We all coexist wonderfully, and I am proud to say that the relationship between members and staff is rewarding and fulfilling. Weaving together all these definitions and concepts into our Strategic Plan will be meaningful as we plan for our future. More in future months.

MAC Leadership’s Resolutions A

s the year begins, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is immersed in planning new initiatives and projects for 2019. The team’s ongoing commitment is to work to ensure that MAC, the premier private club in the Portland metro area and nationally, continues to provide its members convenient access to exceptional programs and services in superior facilities, as well as provide opportunities for people of all ages and stages of life to foster life-long relationships within a caring and supportive community. The entire MAC team works hard to deliver extraordinary experiences every day for each and every one of the club’s members. To that end, for 2019, the ELT has aligned its New Year’s resolutions around achieving the following five imperatives in its new Strategic Plan:

Club Experience: Create a balance of premium programs and services to engage and delight current and future members.

Operational Excellence: Enhance structures, processes and technologies that empower people to deliver the premium club experience.

• Member Services resolves to make member experiences friendly and inviting from the moment a member is greeted by an entrance attendant to the registration experience with At Your Service, and beyond.

• The Technology team will work hard to empower its fellow MAC employees with better automation to free them up to spend more time serving members.

• Clubwide, staff resolves to warmly welcome and delight new members through an improved, personalized experience and engaging open houses. • The Marketing Communications (MarCom) tewam will continue to improve members’ digital experiences so that they reflect the “premium” club atmosphere members find at MAC. • The Accounting and Finance team will evaluate member payment options to determine if there are better or more convenient ways for members to pay their bills. Facilities: Optimize and enhance our campus to reflect and support the premium club experience. • The Facilities team will explore sustainability efforts in areas across the club, including using 100 percent clean wind electricity, 100 percent recycled paper towels, Orbio ionized water for chemical free cleaning, and installation of low-flow shower heads.

Membership: Maintain current headcount and achieve multigenerational, lifestyle and demographic mix that ensures financial sustainability. • A benchmarking analysis of the membership procedures, categories, tiers, and fees of other athletic clubs will be undertaken in advance of MAC’s next lottery. Community Engagement: Increase awareness of MAC’s positive impact in the community to improve perception and stakeholder support. • Guided by the Community Relations Manager, MAC will continue to develop positive relationships with city officials and neighborhood groups. • MAC will look for ways to increase member awareness of and participation in the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, as well as increase member and employee volunteerism and philanthropy in other organizations and activities that support our community.

KELLEY DULCICH

• Not only will Food & Beverage eliminate plastic straws and provide straws only on request, they also will look for ways to reduce the impact of to-go cups and containers. When equipment needs replacing, such as the Sports Pub dishwasher, they will look for products that reduce power and water usage.

• The Membership team is committed to finding efficiencies in daily processes, and providing a clearer and smoother experience for members when trying to accomplish tasks, such as transferring membership status or applying for membership. This also will contribute to sustainability efforts by moving from paper to online solutions.

ENJOY YOUR MORNING RUN ON A

LONDON BRIDGE. Daily nonstop service from PDX to London starts May 9, 2019.

FACES IN THE CLUB When 81-year-old member Doug Adams ran all 26.2 miles of the Portlandathon in early October, it wasn’t because he’d been training for it all his life. It was quite possibly the opposite. “Others have said that my secret has been not running for 50 years. My parts have not worn out yet!” Adams says of the feat. Describing himself as “extremely active” in high school sports, Adams dialed back the formal athletics while attending Dartmouth so as to focus on his studies. Many years later, after the kids left the house, Adams and his wife, Judy, moved to Portland in 1995, and set their sights on walking the 1998 Portland Marathon. He caught the bug, and has now run 22 marathons, including the New York Marathon five times and the Boston Marathon twice. An active Early Bird and Balladeer, Adams has thrown himself into boot camp classes in the small weight room and also enjoys playing tennis early in the morning. Of his recent victory, he says, “I felt excited and relatively fresh in completing the Portlandathon.”

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

While beloved Aquatics Supervisor Michael Wheeler left the club at the end of the year, members will be relieved to know they’re still in good hands with Nick Shaefer. Coming to MAC from Bethany Athletic Club, Shaefer says he’s “excited to work with some truly amazing people and to have the opportunity to help swimmers of any ability progress and gain lifelong skills in the water!” An avid cyclist, climber and backpacker, he’s found that the fitness gained through swimming applies to a variety of outdoor pursuits. All those methods of burning calories are a must, as the Chicago native loves his pizza, and continues to

search for a pie capable of matching his hometown’s famous deep dish. Shaefer does, however, highly recommend the garlic ramen at Kizuki in Beaverton. Someday, he hopes to combine his twin loves of outdoor adventure and tasty treats by traveling to Canada for a long ski trip in the Rockies, “with plenty of good food!”

Ninja. The word is just fun to say. For MAC Climbing Team member Reeder Smith, it’s also fun to do. The 10-yearold fifth grader at Sauvie Island School recently competed on American Ninja Warrior Junior,

doing well enough to advance to the semifinals, which MAC members can tune into April 6 on the Universal Kids television network. Smith says that it meant a lot to be on the show because he was surrounded by nice, positive and passionate people, much like on the Climbing Team. “They were all also ninjas, so that was pretty cool!” Besides meeting many of the celebrity ninjas he looks up to and being mentored by ninja star Barclay Stockett, Smith says he learned a lot about himself in the process. “I didn’t realize how fast I was,” he says. “I knew I was fast at climbing the speed rock wall, but I didn’t think I had it in me to step up when I had to.” He credits MAC and his coaches with improving his strength and power moves, and teaching him valuable team-building skills. “Community has been a big part of the climbing team, and it was great to see a community of ninjas supporting each other also.”

Is there a secret connection between robotics and racquet sports? MAC Squash player and robotics enthusiast Kaz Malhotra seemed skeptical back in November when he was interviewed for The Winged M, but after finding out that racquetball rock star Connor Fadden is part of Jesuit’s Robotics Team, a connection seems to be emerging. Fadden just cleaned up at the John Pelham Memorial Tournament of Champions, winning both the High School and Men’s C divisions. “It’s fun exercise, and the community is great,” he says. “I love

JANUARY 2019

the competition, but it’s also a great way to get to know more people.” Fadden’s technical precision comes from regular practice, generally taking place daily between Sunday and Wednesday, as well as during weekend league matches. While Jesuit doesn’t officially field a racquetball team, Fadden plays as part of the Oregon High School Racquetball League as an individual representing the Crusaders, making him literally a one-man team! Fortunately, that never stops him from asking, “How can I improve?” “I’ll just keep practicing and getting better,” he promises.

CLUB NEWS

The Balladeers rehearse with music director Dr. Scott Tuomi.

An Especially Good Time to Join Balladeers

hile the club’s male members can join the MAC Balladeers Men’s Chorus at any time, this month is an especially good time to start singing. The group has turned its attention from holiday programs to new material for the annual Brothers Sing On concert at the University of Portland (Sunday, Feb. 10) and its annual Spring Concert. “We have some interesting and fun new songs to learn, and also some old favorites

we’ll polish up,” says Dr. Scott Tuomi, the group’s music director. “The group’s skills are improving nicely, and it’s going to be a great season!” Interested singers are welcome to drop in on a rehearsal at 7:15 p.m. Thursdays in the third floor Activities Classroom. No audition is required to join the group. Contact Karl Wetzel, wetzelkarl@hotmail.com or 503-421-4089 for more information.

Singing for Fun, Friendship and Community

njoying music and having fun with friends are simple ways to combat the winter blues of the Pacific Northwest. The MelloMacs offers an easy opportunity for MAC members to sing, laugh and volunteer their time to brighten the days of residents at local veterans and assisted-living communities. Marilyn BlechschmidtWilson is a wonderful example of someone who reaps the benefits of music making. Marilyn has been a member of the MelloMacs for over 35 years, sharing her lovely voice, brilliant smile and great sense of humor with the choir. She

stands front and center and is one of the first to offer kind words or a handshake to audience members. Additionally, she hosts the Monday Musical Club of Portland’s annual holiday luncheon at MAC in support of scholarships for talented young musicians. The MelloMacs are delighted to have several new members this year, adding even more energy and laughter to this boisterous crew. Rehearsals are open to all adult MAC members at 7 p.m. on the first Monday of the month in the third floor Activities Room. Marilyn and her musical friends will be there to provide a warm welcome!

In Memoriam David Franklin Wilson Dec. 7, 1936-Nov. 13, 2018 David Franklin Wilson was born in Millville, Iowa, to Beulah (Grimes) and Richard “Bob” Wilson. He was delivered by his physician grandfather, who traveled 12 miles through snow by a horse-drawn sleigh. David played on the Colesburg high school baseball team when the Trojans won the 1952 Iowa State Championship. He attended the University of Iowa for undergraduate and medical school. He did a residency in otolaryngology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he also obtained a master’s degree in biology. During his residency, David was selected to serve in the U.S. Navy and assigned to Navy Medical Services in Washington, D.C. In 1971, he was appointed a fellowship at The House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, where he specialized in neurotology. David spent his career as a neurotologist — the first in Portland. Many patients remained with him his entire 45 years in practice. His wife, Leigh, began as an audiologist and then as the practice manager. They worked and retired together after 42 years. One of his greatest career accomplishments was his

election as the president of the American Otological, Rhinological and Laryngological Society, aka The Triologic Society. Throughout the years, David enjoyed time with family and friends, his home in Indian Wells, golf at the Portland Golf Club, traveling, entertaining, cooking, wine tasting, and annual fishing and golf trips with the Royal Wulffers — a group of ear, nose and throat physicians from across the United States. David’s life-long motto was “It’s all about family” and he modeled that to the fullest. He was a kind spirit, a loving man, had a dear sense of humor and a joie de vivre. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Leigh Mills Wilson; brothers, Dr. Richard J. Wilson (Elizabeth), Frederick C. Wilson and Col. Stephen D. Wilson (Phyllis); his four children, Adam Wilson, Maggie VanQuill, Annan Naumann (Peter) and Byrne Wilson (Petra); five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. David is predeceased by Mary Goen (married 1960).

Noel Brosnan Flynn May 6, 1920-Nov. 28, 2018 Noel Brosnan Flynn, devoted father, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather, community leader, role model and wonderful

friend to many, died in his sleep on Nov. 28, 2018. Born in 1920 on a sheep ranch in Lakeview, Oregon, Noel received a degree in pharmacy at Oregon State University. In 1947, he opened Pay Less Drug Store in Klamath Falls and later came to Portland, where he managed the company’s 175 pharmacies. Loved by family, friends, colleagues and customers alike, he was active in the Klamath Falls United Fund, Chamber of Commerce, First Presbyterian Church, OSU School of Pharmacy and Multnomah Athletic Club. He was predeceased by his wife, Cornelia in 2014; his brother, Millis in 2013; and his parents, John M. Flynn, an Irish immigrant from County Cork, and Dola Flynn. He is survived by his companion, Janice Swanson of Ashland; his son, Richard (Judy) of Tucson, and son, James of Portland. He is also survived by grandchildren, Erin Flynn of San Francisco, whose children are Oliver and Elliot; Garrett Flynn (Shannon) of Highland Park, Illinois, and children Kyle and Sadie; Jason Flynn (Trisha) of Boulder, Colorado, and children Keira, Hayden, Campbell, and Jack Flynn; Erin Bryner (Jay) and Addison and August; Colin (Laura) Runkle and Harper Mae, Brooklyn and Henry.

FIND FITNESS MOTIVATION WHETHER MAKING A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION OR JUST TWEAKING A ROUTINE, TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE STAFF IN THE E&C — BY JAKE TEN PAS —

ew things in life are certain. As the pessimist might point out, there are taxes and death. The optimist might counter with sunshine and music, but regardless of a person’s disposition, one thing is certain: Every January, the parking structure at the athletic club is always going to be fuller than it was in December. After the feasting and decadence of the holiday season, people around the world wake up a few pounds heavier — if they’re lucky — and ready to pay the piper for the transgressions of the past month or two. They resolve to do better the next year, and head back to the gym with the best of intentions.

According to a 2016 study published by the Statistic Brain Research Institute, and popularized by The New York Times among others, only a third of the people who set a fitness-related goal for themselves will stick with it. To give MAC members a fighting chance at besting those odds, The Winged M asked MAC weight room instructors and personal trainers about their favorite exercises and equipment, and what they see as emerging fitness trends. Place a finger on the pulse of the Exercise and Conditioning Room, or just glean some great inspiration for that upcoming new year’s resolution, by reading what those in the know are doing to stay in great shape. Continued on page 30

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

GARRETT SCHNELL Years with MAC: Just started! Specialty: Track and field with a focus on sprinting Favorite Exercise/Equipment: I’m a strong proponent of resistance bands for core rotational strength and stability. Rotational strength and stability are often overlooked, but they have so many benefits for athletes; plus, resistance bands are super portable, so you can loop them onto a secure pole/bar wherever there’s room!

Garrett Schnell and Jack Brennan

DAN BELL

Hot Fitness Trend: I’m not sure I’d call it a new fitness trend, but I get excited seeing more people doing what I call “prehab,” i.e. warming up prior to, and recovering post working out. A few minutes before and a few minutes after can go a LONG way to keeping people injury-free. I think High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) will blow up even more than it already has. People are always looking for ways to save time in their day, and the gym is no exception. A 30- to 40-minute workout seems much more manageable than a twohour workout. Definitely consult a trainer before you get into it or else you’ll feel like you’re jumping into the deep end of the pool, though. Form, baseline conditioning, and reasonable limits are paramount.

Years with MAC: One

JOSH SARGENT

Specialty: Distance running and weight training for speed, endurance and enjoyment

Years with MAC: Almost one

Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Hill sprints up Salmon Street or running the Bridge Loop on a bright and chilly morning. The sprints are a great way to build speed and endurance while shedding body fat. The Bridge Loop is my meditation; a relaxed pace taking in the view of the city from any of the bridges is cathartic.

Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Deadlifts. They work the whole body and simply feel really good to just clear my mind of everything and focus on picking up the heaviest thing possible.

Hot Fitness Trend: Virtual run groups and races. A virtual training group is a space committed to improving your performance and enjoyment of all things running. Each week, a new three- to five-mile route is posted at www.startva.com/clubs/ MACRUNCLUB along with a suggested pace, what to pay attention to on the route, and even some drills for improving posture, breathing and cadence.

Specialty: Performance/strength training and corrective exercise.

Hot Fitness Trend: I like how recovery is becoming trendy. I see all kinds of new foam rollers and things like Theraguns all the time now on Instagram. In 2014-2016, Crossfit blew up; 2017 and 2018 were dominated by Orange Theory. I suspect the new trend is already flying under the radar, but by 2020, we will see whatever it is blow up.

Josh Sargent

JACK BRENNAN Years with MAC:Two Specialty: Strength training, Olympic lifting, powerlifting, HITT training, speed and agility Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Legs, legs, legs. No one likes a Johnny Bravo, who looks like he can be tipped over with a simple push. A strong posterior chain will help fight the battle of the bulge. Hot Fitness Trend: Glutes, glutes, glutes! Just like Sir Mix-A-Lot said, “Baby Got Back.” Also, don’t be afraid to eat to grow!

TYSEN CHRISTENSEN Years with MAC: Eight Specialty: Registered dietitian nutritionist Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Free weights because of their diversity; and multidirectional lunges, if possible. Hot Fitness Trend: Interval training and diversifying your routine. Mindfulness and meditation.

JOSEPH METZ Years with MAC: One Specialty: Training for strength and muscle hypertrophy Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Favorite exercise is deadlifts. They help strengthen your back and help with core. Easily transfers into daily activities if you need to lift something. Hot Fitness Trend: I think “boxing for fitness”-type classes will be popular in 2019.

BABS DALBEY-MCKEE Years with MAC: 27 Specialty: Using Pilates background in the weight room Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Any machine with cables. This allows unilateral movement, creative movement, and can be used for most body parts. Hot Fitness Trend: Using the whole body in your exercise. One-dimensional machines are not as effective as equipment that puts you in a full-body challenge such as the TRX, BOSU with dumbbells, or cable swat rows. Using the deeper, smaller support muscles ramps up the workout and fires the neuromuscular system.

DYLAN FERRELL Years with MAC: Six

MICHAEL PENDERGAST

Specialty: Corrective exercise specialist, injury prevention

Paige Wamboldt

HEATHER KEMPLER Years with MAC: Five Specialty: Personal training with additional certifications in TRX and Kettlebell, group exercise coach with emphasis on spin Favorite Exercise/Equipment: My favorite is the TRX, which stands for Totalbody Resistance eXercise. The TRX just looks like a couple of straps hanging from the jungle gym on the E&C Ledge, but it’s a great way to do a full-body workout at your own pace, your own weight, and engage the core the entire time. Hot Fitness Trend: My new favorite fitness trend is not completely new. I love that I have seen more women in the weight room feeling confident and lifting heavy weights! I am impressed by a lot of the young people I see in the gym. They inspire me.

Favorite Exercise/Equipment: The Push-up Plank Challenge: 10 push-ups, 1 minute of plank, 10 push-ups, 1 minute plank — all without your core touching the ground. Maintain a neutral spine the whole time.

JAN 6 - FEB 3 The touching and hilarious high school re-telling of Shakespeare’s Richard III that ponders whether it’s better to be loved or feared. artistsrep.org • 503.241.1278

Hot Fitness Trend: I do not believe in fitness trends. I believe in science and consistency, and am most interested in meeting my clients’ individual goals specifically for their body and needs.

PAIGE WAMBOLDT Years with MAC:Two Specialty: Yoga, body awareness, breath work, strength and conditioning Favorite Exercise/Equipment: Good, old-fashioned plank, because everyone should be able to hold themselves up. Plus, it’s an amazing full-body strengthening exercise that teaches you how to breathe through feelings of discomfort. Hot Fitness Trend: Hot (Infrared sauna) and cold stress (cryotherapy). Breath work for our mental health. Meditation classes and breathing techniques for holistic health and healing.

TOP OF THE MORNING FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART EARLY RISERS IN THE E&C RALLY AROUND HELPFUL MAC REGULAR JIM WEGGENMAN

eople who exercise can, generally speaking, be divided into two groups: Those who enjoy it, and those who do it out of necessity. There’s a third group of people, but this subset is much smaller than the first two: People who not only enjoy working out themselves, but get so much out of it so that they have joy to spread to everyone around them. Jim Weggenman is just such a man. At 5:30 a.m. most mornings, he sits atop an exercise bike in the E&C, reading the newspaper as he pedals. He sports no earbuds, which is for the best. He’d constantly have to take them out every time he’s approached by a fellow member to chat or ask his opinion of their form. A retired physical therapist, Weggenman doles out advice when he sees the need, and recommends making an appointment with MAC PT Jay Jensen when a friendly critique won’t suffice. “I like to help people,” Weggenman says. “That’s what I miss most since retiring. I go to the MAC, and that’s my social interaction for the who22le day. The people are just so nice.” The feeling is mutual. Painter and former Arts Subcommittee chair Judy Vogland was so inspired by the camaraderie Weggenmen encourages that she reached out to The Winged M to suggest a feature on him. “He’s just one of those genuine human beings,” she says. “People line up to see him, like students waiting to talk to a teacher. Everybody wants their daily hit of Jim.” Vogland goes on to describe Weggenman as having the base philosophy of a public school teacher, who will take anyone who comes in the door and try to help them. “He’s a good Samaritan. He’ll check back on you after giving you advice, and likely will give you a fist bump while he’s at it. A big, tall, friendly guy, he always has this great smile and laugh. It’s almost like he’s holding court.

Fellow early bird and stationary bike rider Catherine Galati, who Jim has affectionately dubbed “Sister Catherine,” describes him as “Gentle and tenderhearted. He really cares about people.” “He has an amazing personality and perception,” Galati adds. “Jim has a saying: ‘I don’t have problems, I have issues.’” She says this serves both as a humorously self-deprecating aside and a philosophy of rising above whatever physical challenges might be plaguing him at the time. She clearly finds the subtle difference empowering. “He puts that spin on it for everyone at the club.”

“I like to help people, that’s what I miss most since retiring. I go to the MAC, and that’s my social interaction for the whole day.” Vogland describes the crowd in the wee hours of MAC’s morning as “mainly professional or elderly,” adding that her husband, who’s a lawyer, is always there at “5 o’clock sharp!” Beyond their shared proclivity for starting the day with an enthusiastic sweat, they’re also bonded by their challenges, or “issues.” Galati and Vogland both have dealt with shoulder pain over the years, the former now racking up four surgeries. Weggenman can sympathize. In the four years since he retired, he’s had a whopping 10 orthopedic surgeries, including procedures to address stenosis of the spine, a ruptured hamstring, torn rotator cuff, and a left hip that’s needed to be replaced twice. “It’s tough on me, but worse on my wife because she has to put up with me,” Weggenman jokes about his recent convalescence. During his career years, he tended to work out in the evening, at the

conclusion of the work day. After retiring, he started working out in the mornings, and the routine has become integral to his overall sense of well-being. “I look at it like a little piece of vacation! It’s my own therapy. Exercising is the one thing we do just for ourselves. You always feel better afterward.” Earlier in his MAC life, Weggenman was mentored by legendary club figures Joe Loprinzi and Bud Lewis, and says it was them who set the tone for how he interacts with his fellow members in the mornings. “Joe was so nice to everyone,” he recounts. “Of course, if I had arms like that when I was 30, never mind his age, I would have been happy, too.” “The thing about MAC is it’s so big that people can’t think they’re very important for very long,” Weggenman reckons. “Because the person next to them might be even more important!” For someone who plays down his own sway, it’s only too apparent the impact he’s made on others. Galati describes the way Weggenman inspired her to go to Purdue to visit her son at college despite recovering from a recent shoulder surgery, and then to go to Hawaii on vacation after that. She adds that he doesn’t have to know someone to try to make a difference. “He’s always got pointers for people in the stretching room. He’s the kind of person that sees people struggling, helps, and pushes them in the right direction.” Another member of his morning cohort, Stephanie Mooney, says it quite succinctly by email: “I am sure everyone has wonderful things to say about Jim. He is the most kind, humble and compassionate person I know. Always concerned about others. He also has a wicked sense of humor. Through some of my own trials, he has always been there and is a great source of comfort.” —Jake Ten Pas JANUARY 2019

Want to conquer Mt. Hood? Just climb these four stairs thrice per week for a year to equal a trip to the peak!

GET ON THE CASE! MAC just might be the largest indoor athletic club in the world. As such, it stands to reason that a lot of stairs are needed to keep its eight levels connected. The clubhouse’s four primary stair wells also contain plenty of potential for stepping up any workout routine with a set or three of vigorous vertical sweats. Stair-climbing as exercise has the additional benefit of being accessible regardless of inclement weather, firing key stabilizer muscles, and putting gravity to work to increase the intensity of the workout. For more stair-worthy facts, keep reading.

ANOTHER REASON TO CLIMB MAC’s elevators account for roughly

1/3 of the club’s energy cost.

THE GREAT STAIR DOWN Those who get dizzy or claustrophobic easily might want to stick to the West Stairs, which are the roomiest of the bunch, with fewer stairs between each floor. When it comes to navigating the entirety of the club, both the West and East stairs run all the way from the subbasement to the fifth floor. *StepJockey.com™

Rejoicing in the Return of Dungeness

hat type of crab is most delicious is an age-old debate. As a fourth generation Oregonian, I am in good company proclaiming Dungeness crab to be the ultimate crustacean. Dungeness was Julia Child’s favorite too, and James Beard declared Dungeness “the most distinctive of all. . . It is sheer, unadulterated crab heaven.” Lucky for us, the Oregon Dungeness crab fishery — one of the few remaining state-managed fisheries in the country — continues to use defined, targeted harvest methods, and the state helps ensure the sustainability of this treasure well into the future. The club’s chefs have their own history with Oregon’s Official State Crustacean. Executive Chef Philippe Boulot has represented the Oregon Dungeness Commission as an ambassador chef in Louisiana’s annual crab festival, where he, Cory Schreiber and Vitaly Paley were dubbed the three tenors of Dungeness crab. And Executive Sous Chef Phillip Oswalt, with support from the Oregon Crab Commission, competed in the 2010 and 2012 Newport Seafood Festivals, winning first place and people’s choice both years.

JANUARY 2019

This year’s Crab Feed at MAC includes much more than Dungeness crab. The extravagant buffet also features slow-roasted prime rib, chorizo and chicken paella, New England clam chowder, assorted salads and an epicurean selection of mini desserts from the club’s award-winning Pastry Chef Shelby Page. The buffet’s selections will pair well with members’ favorite wines or other beverages. While I think there’s nothing better than fresh-cracked Dungeness, served with lemon and drawn butter (and maybe a little cocktail sauce), enjoyed with a glass of Oregon pinot gris, others may prefer sparkling wine, rosé or chardonnay. Whatever their preference, 1891’s extensive wine list and knowledgeable staff will assist members in enjoying a great evening. The Crab Feed buffet is $49 per person, including gratuity and surcharge. Seatings are available between 5 and 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are highly recommended. Parties of six and fewer can reserve online. For larger groups, please call 503-517-6630. —Cameron McMurry, Food & Beverage director

Book Drive: Jan. 1-31

Help Change Lives Through Books

Wednesday, Jan. 2Thursday, Jan. 3 Holiday Un-Decorating

The 20/30s Committee hosts a children’s book drive in January benefitting The Children’s Book Bank. For many children, one of the biggest obstacles to literacy development is the scarcity of books in the home. In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books to children is one book for every 300 children, far below the ratio of 13 books per child in middle- and upper-income neighborhoods. The Children’s Book Bank addresses this issue by collecting new and gently used books to give children without books of their own. Stop by the 20/30s book shelf in the Main Lobby to donate books.

The Holiday Decorating Committee invites all members (and nonmember guests) to join the un-decorating festivities. Hard-working volunteers ages 10 and older are welcome to sign up for either the 9 a.m.-noon or 1-4 p.m. shifts. Allday participation is fantastic, too! Those younger than 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Complimentary breakfast and lunch are offered each day. Register online or call At Your Service at 503-517-7235. MEV459-MEV460

MACronutrients Class: Knife Skills noon- 1 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 10, 17, 24 and 31

nife skills are essential to masterting home cooking and building a healthy eating plan. Nobody wants to make a healthy dish if it is going to take hours. Knife skills help cut down prep time, pun intended, and ease the way to healthy preparation. Still not convinced? Here are a few more reasons for cooks to improve their knife skills. Nutritional Equality: Cooking food improves digestion and increases absorption of many nutrients. Having great knife skills ensures cooks will get the most out of their product. Safety and Speed: These two skills go hand in hand. A knife-skills class helps participants achieve safety and speed in the kitchen. Uniform Cutting: Uniformly sized pieces cook more evenly. Whether chopping vegetables or meat, varying sizes result in some of the food being either over- or under-cooked, which can affect the texture of a dish as well as the taste.

WELLNESS

A Natruopath’s View on Inflammation I nflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or harmful stimuli. When a cut gets red, hot and swollen, it’s because the body is producing an inflammatory response made up of a combination of white blood cells and chemicals. Their goal is to clean the area, prevent disease by killing bacteria, rid the body of an invader, and close the wound.

This is a positive example of inflammation. But what happens when there is chronic inflammation? Some of the leading causes of mortality in the United States, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, have an inflammatory component. In a negative response to inflammation, the body may view plaque in an artery wall as a foreign invader. The body then tries to wall off the plaque by cutting off blood flow to the area. It is possible that a portion of that plaque comes into contact with blood, breaks off and forms a clot. The

majority of strokes and heart attacks are caused by plaques and clot formation. Also, higher levels of inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines are seen in people with diabetes, and the role of inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease is currently being researched. Other less severe examples of chronic inflammation include allergies, rashes, joint pain and headaches. As a naturopath, I look at the possible role diet and lifestyle play in someone’s inflammatory risk. What modifications can be made? Anti-inflammatories are Big Pharma business, and research into antiinflammatories continues to grow. But some pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories come with potential negative side effects. For preventative inflammatory options, turmeric is a highly regarded, wellresearched option, with little-to-no risk factor.

Celebration of Excellence & Inspiration 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17 In the interest of drawing in members across the club’s many areas of athletic interest, Zander and his fellow subcommittee members decided to do away with the formal banquet, and instead keep the emphasis squarely on the nominees for the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award and Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award. The revamped event is now known as MACletes: Celebration of Excellence and Inspiration, and will feature many of the components that define the event. There still will be videos of the nominees, a guest emcee and the big reveal of the winners. While the banquet concept has been jettisoned, Zander says there will definitely be a food component. MICHAEL PENDERGAST

Memorabilia from MAC member H.W. “Bert” Kerrigan, who set the U.S. high jump record in 1905. En route to compete in the 1906 Athens Olympics, a tidal wave caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius struck the boat he was on and he broke several ribs. He went on to compete in his injured state, taking home a bronze medal.

he Banquet of Champions has a new name and look this year, but it’s still the celebration of inspiration and excellence that MAC members have come to expect over the years. “We felt that previous years’ events did a good job of honoring the athletes, but they were too formal,” says Bill Zander, chair of the Athletic Committee’s Awards Subcommittee. “It was an expensive dinner, and a long program on a school night. We wanted to make it more accessible to a broader cross section of the membership.”

The event won’t start any earlier than it has in previous years, but Zander says that organizers are keen on keeping it moving at a fast pace to get athletes, parents and other attending MAC members home at a reasonable hour. President of the Board of Trustees Grant Yoshihara will be on-hand to present the awards. It all starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, in The Ballroom. Attendees are asked to dress in cocktail attire. The event is open to all MAC members, but registration is required. To register, use event code MACletes_2019 or call Melissa Valenzuela at 503-517-7582.

Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award Nominees

MAC Climbing Team Led by Head Coach Drew White, this dynamic group of athletes has risen to great heights of achievement in three disciplines: speed climbing, sport climbing and bouldering. Boys and girls ages 6-18 make up the MAC Climbing Team, and they compete in local, regional, state and national competitions. Among the team are athletes who are top-level world speed climbers. At USA Climbing’s Sport and Speed National Championships in 2018, the team placed 10th overall, which is the highest team ranking in the club’s

history at a national championship competition. Combined member efforts also resulted in placing eighth in speed climbing and 12th in sport climbing at championships. While MAC’s Climbing Team has ranked among the best in the country, members believe their greatest achievements sometimes happen off the wall, when they are cheering on their teammates and supporting one another. The values of respect for each other, stewardship, and community appreciation all have been well instilled by White and the rest of the team’s coaches.

MAC Jrs. U14 Black Volleyball Team

Sean Ryan, Squash In 2018, Sean Ryan was busy. Not only did he volunteer at MAC squash events, serve as an active member of the Squash Committee, and assist amateur squash players with skill development, but he also finished fourth out of 95 participants in his age division at the 2018 Squash World Championships. Ryan’s leadership and warm personality compliment his drive for excellence. He competed in the 2018 U.S. Championship and Canadian Championships for his division, finishing third in the latter. His presence on MAC courts is very apparent. Members know Ryan by his

level of play, but also by his distinct South African accent and friendly smile. He welcomes new players and takes the time to hit balls with them, making them feel encouraged to return and join the community.

Power comes in all shapes and sizes. The U14 volleyball team proved that throughout the 2018 season, competing and finishing in the top power league rankings in Oregon. Led by captains Emma Hunt and Maisie Alexander, the U14 squad finished second out of 145 teams in state regionals, qualifying the team for participation in national competition. This level of play has elevated junior volleyball at MAC and helped build the club’s reputation as a serious competitor throughout the country.

After its powerful presence at the Oregon State Regionals, the team followed it up with an impressive showing at the USA Girls Junior Nationals in Detroit, Michigan. The team finished 26th out of 64 teams. While members of the team will move on to different levels of play and teams in 2019, team members continue to speak of their “epic journey” throughout the year and the many excellent performances that comprised it.

KENNY KATZ

Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award Nominees

Georgette Blomquist: Racquetball

Scott Chauncey: Karate

Bill Cordano: Decathlon

Hadlee Hallman: Volleyball

Georgette Blomquist is an inspiration to all MAC racquetball players, but her impact among women in the sport has been particularly noticeable.

Despite a fierce commitment to inspiring others to achieve in the sport of martial arts, Sensei Scott Chauncey prefers to be behind the scenes. A third-degree black belt, he has served more than two decades on the MAC Karate Committee, listening to the needs of his peers and fellow members. His passion and honesty inspire others to do the same.

The cliché that age is just a number really applies when it comes to Bill Cordano. At the young age of 76, Cordano leads the Exercise & Decathlon Committee, organizing and coordinating the individual and team decathlon activities, as well as the MAC Bench Competition. He doesn’t just talk the talk; he competes in each event and often finishes in top standings. Cordano can be found doing the bench press, completing three vertical leaps, punting a football, rowing 2,000 meters, running 400 meters and more, all while smiling and laughing.

Hadlee Hallman got her start in volleyball in third grade, but it was when she first joined MAC’s program in fifth that Head Coach Lea Petcock showed her what a more-competitive form of volleyball was all about. She has been inspired to work hard, study her sport, and be the best possible teammate. She has been named MVP at MAC every year and, this last year, earned the Ultimate Teammate award. This sense of being a good sport and inspiring it in others carried over to her high school too. When Hallman became team captain, she organized a bonding weekend at the beach, where she encouraged inclusiveness, team-building and excitement during St. Mary’s 2018 volleyball season.

After stepping away from the game for a number of years, Blomquist renewed her passion for the sport in 2012, when she joined MAC. She became an intramural captain, helping to motivate female players to forge connections within the racquetball community. She also helped players with skill development, all the while offering support and boosts to confidence whenever possible. Blomquist usually plays five days a week, and it can be difficult to get her off of the court. Her drive to play and win keeps her active at competitions and tournaments at MAC and throughout Oregon. Her most recent success was at the 2018 WSMRA Championship: Women’s Level 35-45. In 2015, she became a captain for the Racqueteers Intramural League team, and she joined the Racquetball Committee in 2018.

56 | The Wınged M |

One of the biggest examples of Chauncey’s commitment to karate is the hosting of Japanese exchange students for the Yoshida Cup. While most volunteers host two to three students, he hosts anywhere from 10-15. Surprisingly, Chauncey’s interest in karate began right here at MAC, when he saw a flyer about beginner classes. He joined with his son, and instantly became hooked. Chauncey believes it is an humbling feeling to go from knowing very little about martial arts to being able to share his experience and knowledge with others.

JANUARY 2019

“Volunteer” could be Cordano’s middle name. For more than 30 years, he has donated his time to at least one committee each year he has been a member. He is also a current MAC Blood Drive volunteer, registering members for donations at the Bud Lewis and Civil War collection efforts. In his spare time, Cordano serves on the selection committee for MAF scholarships. He often inspires others to continue paying it forward in the MAC community. He believes it is important to volunteer and to do so with a sense of enthusiasm, appreciation and laughter.

Her positivity, leadership and sense of selflessness remind her nominator of Joe Loprinzi and the way he inspired his fellow MAC members. In addition to her presence on the court, Hallman is known as an excellent student and friend. When not practicing, she lifts weights and runs before sitting down to do her homework. It is this ethic that she passed on to the “new” girls on the team. Beyond that, while the ultimate goal is to win matches, Hallman’s teammates also look to her example in defeat. Losing with grace and taking lessons from the loss, as Hallman has been known to do, only further cements her position as a leader and inspiration to those with whom she strives for excellence.

Gary Smith: Pickleball Gary Smith is a fifth-generation Oregonian, and a rare native Portlander. He joined MAC more than 30 years ago with his wife, Phyllis. It’s still his very favorite place to have a meal. That’s what is so special about Smith: He loves the simple things in life. An athlete at heart, Smith grew up playing football, track and tennis. His college days were interrupted by the Vietnam War, where he served as a helicopter medic with the 14th Air Commando Wing.

visit us at pdxderm.com Proud to be part of the mac community for over 30 years!

Combining this experience of growth with his budding sense of compassion, he decided to use his love for athletics to help others. He has previously been Vice President of the Oregon Road Runners Club, part of the Mount Hood Ski Patrol and, most recently, a volunteer first responder. Smith has won tennis tournaments at the 4.0 level, and also plays racquetball. But it is pickleball that he loves the most. He gets excited when he speaks of its growing stature, about when he gets to teach it to children and older adults, and about when he is assigned to meet and greet new players. His love of sharing knowledge comes from years of teaching tennis to children at Oregon Lung Association summer camps. Smith’s tremendous devotion to the game, as well as the incredible amount of time he spends helping others, make him an inspiration to the MAC pickleball community and beyond.

ATHLETICS Let’s Talk Abs, with Babs

The first step is reducing calories. Educate yourself on the type and amount of foods you should be eating; consult a registered dietician for guidelines. Next, take a look at your exercise routine. Restructuring workouts should begin by rethinking how you use your abdominals. A majority of exercisers believe that abdominal crunches will tone and reduce their waist size. In reality, the major muscle being recruited in an abdominal crunch is the rectus abdominis, which is a superficial muscle (close to the surface) that works as a flexor for the spine. In order to engage the core, you need to go deeper. Underneath the rectus abdominis are the external obliques, then the internal obliques, and finally the deeper horizontal layer called the transversus abdominis. Most people associate their core only with abdominal muscles, but really the core includes muscles in the lower back, hips and buttocks — known as the “powerhouse.” Ideally, every exercise should recruit the powerhouse and deeper abdominals. This can be accomplished by entering an exercise with mindfulness and focus on form. An example would be starting with shoulders down, rib cage in, a small tailbone curl, lower abdominal wall pulled in, and the pelvis aligned in the proper position. This is called a form check. Consider doing this when doing planks, side planks, balance work, squats, lunges and weights.

JOSEPH PALAZZO

ith each new year comes New Year’s resolutions. The most common are to lose weight, shrink the belly and strengthen the core. While these are all admirable goals, accomplishing them effectively can be challenging.

The biggest step toward change in your body is changing your routine completely. Get off the elliptical and treadmill. Challenge yourself on different equipment and incorporate side planks, the TRX and free weights — all with abs and the powerhouse in mind. Take a class or hire a professional trainer to set you up. There are an abundance of resources at MAC to get your new year going in a productive and positive way! —Barbara “Babs” Dalbey-McKee u Join Babs 8 a.m. Fridays in Studio Three for Abs with Babs, and explore using abdominals in every exercise.

The Winter Blitz is a five-week program (Jan. 7-Feb. 10) that encourages members to exercise at MAC — helping them develop regular exercise habits, learn new ways to exercise and foster friendships.

• Entry categories for men and women are divided into three age groups: Young Adult (39 and younger), Adult (40–64 years old) and Senior (65 and older).

Exercisers earn points based on time spent or goals achieved according to a schedule determined by the Exercise & Decathlon Committee. Prizes are awarded to the highest point earners in each age category. Each participant pays a $20 entry fee, which is applied to prizes and the end-of-Blitz party.

• Sign up at the table in the E&C Room, register online or call At Your Service at 503-517-7235. WBF19

The rules for Winter Blitz are as follows: • All exercises and fitness activities must be performed at MAC. Half of all points must be earned in the Exercise and Conditioning Rooms (this includes the main E&C Room, Small Weight Room, Stretching Room, Spin Room and Ledge). The others may be earned in the pools, on the courts, in classes or in any other MAC venue. • Participants must keep track of their exercises, date, time and point conversion on weekly log sheets located at the Center Desk in the E&C Room. A staff member must initial each entry. A table showing time-to-point conversions for each type of exercise will be available at the Center Desk.

MIND OPENING SINCE 1869

• Prizes will be awarded, and a drawing held, at a pizza party at MAC after the conclusion of the Winter Blitz.

Team Decathlon Results Participants in the 2018 Team Decathlon (Oct. 15-21) included veteran decathletes, first timers and multiple families who enjoyed competing together. The Blue Coats (Blake Anderson, Andrew Quinlan, Max Wolfard and Bud Lewis) had the single highest score this year: 8,785. Right behind them, with 8,749 points, was the Lairson 5 (Ed, Andrea, Joe, Jake and Emma Lairson). The Exercise and Decathlon Committee is already prepping for the Spring Decathlon. Get ready!

ATHLETICS

An Audio Home for Racquetball Fans

acquetball players looking to learn more about the sport, get tips and tricks to improve their game, or stay current on news from top players have a friend in MAC’s Dylan Reid. New, hour-long episodes of his podcast, The Racquetball Show (racquetballshow.com), are posted monthly and feature guests ranging from the world’s top professional player (Kane Waselenchuk, Episode 14) to the president of USA Racquetball (Dan Whitley, Episode 16). The first segment shares resources about tournaments and includes a helpful overview of the various leagues available. It also features an interview with former MAC member Charlie Pratt, currently the No. 9 player in the world, detailing his training routine before tournaments. Pratt, who was a professional referee for six years, also offers words of advice for referees and discusses common mistakes and how to avoid them. In addition to interviewing a highclass set of guests, Reid and his friend Tim Prigo (club pro at Lloyd Athletic Club) provide valuable information for players of all levels — discussing the fundamentals and mechanics of the swing, detailing strategy for singlesversus-doubles play, and covering selfimprovement tips like practice routines or creating a mindset. Submit a question (dylan@racquetballshow.com) and Reid and Prigo may answer it in their next mailbag segment!

Gymnastics & Dance Embraces Change, Forges New Relationships

hange can often lead to unrest and uncertainty. When the Gymnastics and Dance departments merged last year, the group’s new director, Jason Striplin, encouraged senior staff to use the change to spur ideas about ways to strengthen the combined team.

One idea was to create a new relationship between Gymnastics’ team and recreational programs by developing the Rec Buddy System. Head Girls Coach Rob Petit developed a system of pairing a team athlete (ages 10-18) with a rec class at the beginning of each term. The hope was that the time spent would be valuable for not only the team athlete and the rec participants, but also the teachers. When asked about the experience, team athletes said that “it helped remind us how important it is to pay attention to the small details of a skill,” and they “enjoyed learning how to spot the beginning skills.” They also liked “figuring out how to cooperate and work with little kids because it is way different than working with our teammates.” Some of the team athletes liked the program so much they have asked to continue volunteering weekly. When rec kids were surveyed, responses included: “It was good that someone who was older and more experienced came in to help them” and “they were nice and showed us examples of how to do certain skills.”

ATHLETICS Walk and Learn From Locals Storytelling and insider knowledge pump up the exploration factor

ach week offers new opportunities to learn about the Portland metro area on urban walks with MAC’s Walking & Hiking crew. Member coach and architectural historian Eric Wheeler frequently leads Learn from the Locals tours, and area experts are often invited to join.

U14 and U16 teams at Crystal Mountain for a race called “No Bull,” March 2018.

MAC Skiers Send It All Season Race team readying itself for a pair of January events

sk MAC Alpine Ski Team athletes to choose their favorite run or chairlift at Mt. Hood Meadows, and they’ll offer a wide range of responses. And with good reason — the Ski Team has more than 100 athletes between the ages of 6 and 58. With multiple programs including MAC Youth Ski League, Free Ride Team, Junior Team and Masters Team, there is something for everyone.

resorts received votes. With one exception — in Russia! — all the resorts were in the Western region and covered many of the areas the athletes travel to for races in the Pacific Northwest. Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Idaho got a special callout from Junior racers, which isn’t surprising given that MAC took home first place at the regional U14 championship there last March.

During the team’s fall orientation night, youth members were polled to find out some of the ways that they enjoy skiing. To the question of their favorite run at Meadows, the majority of skiers prefer the challenges of Heather Canyon and Private Reserve, especially on a powder day. Among the racers, “wherever the course is set” was another popular response, often accompanied by a “duh” or an eye roll. When asked if they prefer powder or groomed runs, the response was overwhelmingly in support of powder, although some went with groomed “as long as it is done well.”

Finally, athletes were asked what their coaches do to motivate them to ski their best. It’s not a surprise that gummy bears are a powerful tool for the younger group. Free Riders love it when Coach Ben McKinley says “Follow me!” and hucks off of a cornice into the steeps. “Just Send It” is a popular phrase for the race groups, who appreciate the confidence boost before a run.

Team members also were asked which Olympic athlete they most admired. Mikaela Shiffrin was the clear winner, but there were plenty of responses for Lindsey Vonn and a few for Bodie Miller. There was zero consensus for “favorite ski resort,” other than Meadows, of course. Sixteen

While responses vary between programs and age groups, one thing that’s crystal clear is that the MAC Alpine Ski Team is ready to send it in the 2018-2019 season! Members who venture up to the Meadows or Ski Bowl this winter are invited to check in with the race team and come cheer them on. This month, the Meadows Challenge takes place Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 12 and 13, and the popular Oregon 4-Way Championship is at Ski Bowl Friday through Sunday, Jan. 25-27.

Look for Learn from the Locals walks in upcoming editions of The Journey, Walking & Hiking’s monthly newsletter, available on theMAC.com. Routes range from short, with much interpretation, to longer walks that cover more ground. Often the “local learning” comes from a homeowner or business owner who invites the group in for an impromptu tour! Recent walks with local experts have included: Fort Vancouver and Officers Row, with a presentation by the director of Historic Vancouver Leach Botanical Garden, a private tour by the garden’s executive director Historic Willamette (West Linn), with a presentation by the former director of Historic Willamette Milwaukie and Elk Rock Island, a walking tour led by the Geological Society of the Oregon Country

ATHLETICS Volleyball Coaches Feel the Love

he Volleyball Committee would like to extend a thank you to the 12U coaches. They are the foundation of the program; without their help the club would not be where it is today. They bring extensive coaching and playing experience to MAC, and their combined coaching and dedication to the MAC Volleyball programs exceeds 21 years! Cheers to them all. U12 Black Head Coach: Samantha Moreland played high school volleyball in Vancouver, Washington, receiving first-team honors. She went on to play at Warner Pacific College, where she was voted all-conference player of the year and claimed the record for the most aces in a year. Moreland is still active in adult volleyball. U12 Black Assistant Coach: Megan Aguon started her volleyball career at Central Catholic, where she received league honorable mention and was voted most inspirational by her team. Aguon went on to play at Warner Pacific College and continues to play adult volleyball.

So close. All but two of MAC’s volleyball coaches in one place at one time! U12 Red Head Coach: Danielle Arnold played four years of high school volleyball and two years at College of the Siskiyous. She still plays adult volleyball and is a hiking enthusiast. U12 Red Assistant Coach: Kelli Gamble plays in an adult women’s league to keep up her skills after playing in high school and for two years at North Idaho College.

U12 White Head Coach & U12 Grey Assistant Coach: Quinn Kloppenburg played varsity high school volleyball for three years at Lincoln High School and college club volleyball at Portland State University for one year. U12 Grey Head Coach & U12 Grey Assistant: Andrea Sexton played through her high school years at Reynolds High School and in a co-ed league in Washington state.

From the Archives J

udy Martin, a MAC swimmer and Cleveland High School Freshman, prepares to exit the Memory Pool in Vancouver following a junior girl’s race held Jan. 29 and 30, 1955. Martin set age group records for girls 13–14 years in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard butterfly at the event. During this MAC-sponsored event, held offsite due to a scheduling conflict with the annual President’s Ball, 17 other MAC girl swimmers, including Maureen Murphy, won individual or relay races. Murphy went on to compete in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, placing fifth in the 100-meter backstroke. By the end of the 1955 swimming season, MAC boys and girls youth swimmers won 21 different trophies from a variety of contests. —Luke Sprunger, club archivist

Where did you grow up? Medford, Oregon

Why did you choose Providence to build you career? I admired the Mission and values of Providence and the incredible people who commit their life to improving the health of our communities.

What is your dream for Providence in Oregon? First, Providence can be the leader in improving health and access to health care for our communities as we achieve our vision: Health for a Better World. Second, Providence will transform the future of health by incorporating new tools and technologies, partnering with community organizations and businesses, and listening to our customers. That means achieving the health care value proposition as measured by VALUE = Quality / patient experience. Cost

What are your hobbies? My family and friends are a very big part of my favorite hobbies. I also like to golf, work out, cycle, go wine tasting and travel.

To learn more, visit: ProvidenceFoundations.org

What’s a great memory or experience you’ve had while working at Providence? I’ve had so many! I had the wonderful opportunity early in my career to work with many Sisters of Providence who were still in our hospitals. These women were unwavering in their call to the poor and vulnerable. They also were very good business people who always made sure our No. 1 priority was carrying out our Mission. I was really inspired. Today, while not as present, they urge us to carry forth their heritage. It’s very rewarding to heed their call, modernize our hospitals and services to care for patients as whole persons, and build for the future.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work? Traditional health care financing does not include funding for research, innovation, advanced technology and care of the poor. Philanthropy allows us to collaborate with grateful patients, generous donors, community partners, businesses, industry and others to grow quality services and seek cures through innovation and research.
