an you believe it is 2020 already? As I sit down to write this, I look back at another amazing year at MAC. The club continues to be a place for all of us to enjoy with family and friends. I personally Sandy Moore II could not think of TREASURER another place that gives us this kind of opportunity to be a community. And 2020 is poised to be another great year for all members of the MAC community.

Committees Speaking of community, our MAC community is held together by members who spend a lot of time volunteering in our robust committee system. Without our committees, MAC would not thrive like it does. One example, the Budget and Finance Committee, spends many hours each year reviewing the proposed budget and making changes as needed. They then send all of their recommendations to the Board of Trustees for final approval. In addition, the Board of Trustees reviews all information from the Audit Committee and the Investment Subcommittee. Once the board provides final approval of the budget, it is put in place for the year.

The club is in strong financial condition, and we trust that it will be here for many more years to come.

Dues As mentioned in last month’s column, the monthly dues amount for family membership increased for 2020 by only 4%.

The Board of Trustees wants you to know that we spent many hours having robust discussions to make sure that this amount was the most prudent increase for the club. We know this increase will allow us to properly fund the club for current and future needs as they arise. The club is in strong financial condition, and we trust that it will be here for many more years to come.

Neighborhood Development Last month the Board and Land Use Committee announced a plan for development on Block 7. The proposed development includes market-rate and affordable apartments with parking for MAC and building residents. We are compiling questions and comments and will provide responses in future Winged M stories and web posts. If you have any thoughts to share, please send them to community@ themac.com.

Lottery This year, MAC holds the next Lottery to begin creating a list of future members.

We anticipate that we will have the Lottery fully subscribed again this year, with many members of our local community applying.

Please tell anyone you know who might want to apply to be on the lookout for more information in the coming months.

As your current third-year trustees and board officers wrap up our final full month in our positions, we are excited for MAC’s future. I am thankful and honored to have worked with so many of you here at the club over the past three years, and I am looking forward to 2020.

Thank you all for all you do.

I

hope everyone had wonderful holidays. In many parts of the club, the weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Years are some of the busiest. Decorations go up and come down.

Parties and events Robert Radler abound. Employees INTERIM GENERAL take vacations.

MANAGER Members start resolutions. The list goes on and on.

Before taking this interim general manager job, I must admit I was naïve, and probably still am to a degree, about all that happens here. What I have learned, however, leads me to ask members to please give the next GM some time before you make requests, ask for information or even give a welcome. That new GM, even if it is someone who already worked here, is going to be struggling to get up to speed, let alone to have time to engage in a conversation about how happy they are to be here.

I’d like to give an example of what a day is like for the GM, so you can better appreciate my request.

Yesterday, December 10, started with a brief chat with the GM search group.

Immediately after that, I arranged with Housekeeping Manager Elaine O’Flynn for laundry facility employees to receive a cake, as one of their co-workers recently passed away. I then had a conversation about holiday decorating issues before being filmed for an employee training presentation. Member Services Director Lisa Virtue and I then reviewed some House Committee issues and recent incident reports. After that, I had the privilege of welcoming employees to the first training session for the new HR/Payroll system.

Around noon, I had a meeting with Technology Director Matt Abraham about upcoming software changes, a new interim portfolio manager, how our portfolio management group is integral in implementing our strategic plan, and when Matt will start scuba lessons.

Immediately thereafter, Athletic & Wellness Director Elsa Lemoine and I met with Squash Pro Werner Hergeth about

recent and upcoming developments in the employee commission structure. Following that meeting, I reviewed a proposal concerning a potential tenant in one of our buildings and had a phone meeting with real estate brokers concerning a reply to that proposal. I then briefly researched some issues concerning a newly enacted Athletic Policy before meeting with Elsa, Fitness Manager Darrel Duvauchelle and Wellness Manager Will Cath about the employee commission structure changes and a moratorium on private training workshops. Elsa and I then discussed those commission structure changes and which director should be responsible for some of our agreements with a few Wellness independent contractors. Sometime in the afternoon, I had a lengthy phone call with a person interested in the GM position.

Interspersed between these meetings and phone calls were numerous momentary meetings and about 50 emails concerning issues varying from members behaving poorly, to Human Resources concerns, to requests for donations of club resources.

Finally, I spent some time working with Senior Executive Assistant Melania Oppat, crafting responses to sounding boards and emails from two groups of unhappy members. About the only thing missing from the day that typically occurs is a long phone call or meeting with MAC President Holly Lekas.

Let’s just say it was a long day, but after about four months on the job, nothing about it was extraordinary. During other days, I could have meetings about our capital and operating budgets, the 400 youth camps we put on a year, employee benefits packages, hiring of new directors, goals and bonuses for our employees, the Campus Master Plan, the Front Entrance project, parking and our relationship with the Timbers. I hate to admit it, but I also still am hearing about shower heads!

These wide ranging issues are something I generally knew about from my time on the board. Your next GM, however, will not have had the experience of being board president. Even if our next GM has already been a MAC employee, I believe it will be extremely challenging and time-consuming. Please do take this into consideration and give them some breathing room.

The January billing statement shows a 4.02% increase in monthly dues for a Family membership. This equals $12 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. 13, 2019.

For a complete list of dues by category, visit the Membership Information page in The Club section of themac.com.

2020 Budget Change Highlights Accounting Office

Lockers

Last year, a $2 fee to mail copies of members’ monthly statements was instituted. The Board of Trustees approved a $.50 increase in the fee in 2020 to encourage further participation in the paperless billing program. The $2.50 fee will appear on members’ January statements for their February dues unless they call the Accounting Office to opt-out of paper statements prior to that date. This is expected to generate an additional $12,372 in revenue.

Last year, the Board of Trustees approved a $10 annual increase on lockers located on the basement level. However, basement-level lockers continue to be close to capacity, while those in the subbasement and mezzanine have lower occupancy.

Therefore, the board approved an additional $10 annual increase in basement locker fees (Men’s Full, Half and Women’s Half) beginning in October 2020. This is expected to generate $12,218 in revenue.

FACES IN THE CLUB Member and enthusiastic Early Bird Ken Krebs turned 70 on Sunday, Nov. 3, and celebrated by running the New York City Marathon!

That’s his fifth in NYC and his 25th overall marathon, for those keeping track at home. “It was the slowest marathon I’ve ever run, but it felt great at the finish,” Krebs says. “I don’t love running marathons, but I benefit from the training and discipline leading up to them. It’s always been helpful to have a goal to work toward.” Krebs credits the Early Birds with keeping him in such good shape over the years, calling them “an inspirational group of people.” He also gives a shout out to his support team, wife Candy, and Mike and Carey Kobelin. To enter his most recent marathon, Krebs joined charitable organization Fred’s Team, and along with more than 900 other runners, helped to raise more than $6 million for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

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

Former Entrance Attendant Mani Woodward recently joined the At Your Service Team on a part-time basis. The fresh face on MAC’s member-facing all-star squad has a name that looks like it could rhyme with those of two different New Kids on the Block, but he’s quick to point out that it sounds like Donny, not Danny. With his love for running and hiking, Woodward fits right in at the club, and he says he’s looking forward to meeting and building relationships with this amazing community. Born in India, he was adopted at age 6, and grew up here in the Willamette Valley. In recent years, he’s taken his perspective on Oregon’s urban and natural wonders to new heights by capturing photos and videos with his drone.

Personal trainer “Papi” Ferunaj Perparim has only been at MAC for six months, but he’s already making an impression.

Primarily known in the area for his weightlifting feats, Perparim was featured on a 2018 KPTV segment after he set state records in the 60-64 age group. He was National Olympic Weightlifting Champion of Albania from 1978 to 1989, and has served as an international referee for the sport, as well as director of the Albanian Olympic Academy from 2011 to 2015. MAC member Diane Harris was significantly impressed by his teaching style to say the following: “Papi is a relatively new instructor at MAC, but he’s growing the tai chi class! Featuring him would generate additional interest and help get the word out about the many health benefits of tai chi.”

Correction: The December 2019 Winged M incorrectly stated that there are five MAC members on the state champion Jesuit varsity volleyball team. The sixth member is Isabel Patterson.

The End of Turnaround Valet Parking Based on MAC Facilities staff recommendations, the Board of Trustees agreed to discontinue the disabled valet service in the Turnaround effective Jan. 1, 2020.

The improvement of disabled parking stalls on the fourth floor of the Parking Structure, along with existing disabled parking in the garage, has made access to the club more convenient. Usage data has shown that the valet service is no longer providing members an effective cost benefit.

In Memoriam Robert M. Christ May 3, 1927- May 31, 2019

Jeanne Theresa Christ June 15, 1927- Nov. 2, 2019 Bob was born in Portland and attended Jefferson High School. After he graduated, he enlisted in the Navy, which sent him to Chicago and then back to Portland. (He often joked that neither city was invaded on his watch.) After the war, Bob attended University of Oregon and joined the Phi Delt fraternity, where he was elected president.

He then attended the Northwest College of Law, a night school taught by judges and lawyers that is now a part of Lewis and Clark College.

After law school, Bob met Jeanne Santini, a nurse from Montana, and she became his beloved wife and companion of 64 years. They had five children: Dan (Mary), Tom (Mary Kyle), Brian (Maureen), Bill (Tomoko), Nancy (John), and eight grandchildren.

Bob began his legal career as a deputy in the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office. He then left for private practice, where he was a reputable trial lawyer, then on to become the clerk of the U.S. District Court of Oregon’s Chief Executive. A generation of lawyers, including one of his sons, has Bob’s name on its certificates to practice in that court.

In 1989, Bob began his long and happy retirement with Jeanne. They traveled the world, entertained their friends, played golf and tennis at their home in Charbonneau, and spent very happy times at their beach house in Seaside. Bob and Jeanne also loved wintering in Palm Springs.

Jeanne was born in Anaconda, Montana, to Italian immigrants and attended nursing school in Great Falls.

She moved to San Francisco and later Portland, working as a surgical nurse and then met Bob. She was an involved mother who supported their five children in all their activities. When the kids entered grade school, she returned to work as a nurse one day a week.

Jeanne and her daughter, Nancy, had a business of importing Italian majolica, which took them on multiple buying trips together to Italy.

Jeanne and Bob were madly in love, had full lives and were adored by many.

They treated people with the utmost respect, laughed and played together every day. It is fitting that they passed at almost the same time.

Anne Buland Koerner Aug. 13, 1926-Nov. 1, 2019 Anne (Nan) was born in Portland on Aug. 13, 1926, to George and Anne (Shea) Buland. In 1930, her family moved to NewYork, where she attended Mamaroneck High School in Larchmont and the Abbott Academy in Andover, Massachusetts.

Nan graduated from Smith College and, in 1950, received her MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she was one of three women in her class. During the 1950s, Nan worked as a securities analyst and started the Portfolio Analysis Department for the brokerage firm Dean Witter in San Francisco. She was a founding member of the Financial Women’s Club of San Francisco.

Nan married Peter Koerner in Palo Alto, California. In 1963, they moved to the house in Portland where they raised four children and was her home until the last few days of her life. Nan joined the Episcopal Church after moving to Portland. She was a member of both Ascension Episcopal Parish and Trinity Episcopal Church. Most notably, she appraised the oriental rugs at Ascension Chapel’s annual rummage sale.

Returning to the workforce in 1975, Nan became a stockbroker at Dean Witter’s Portland office. She remained with the company as it underwent several mergers and name changes to eventually become Morgan Stanley. She retired at 79.

In addition to volunteering at her children’s school, and for other activities, Nan was a member of numerous nonprofit, civic-related organizations. At the Portland Art Museum, she started as a docent in the mid-60s, served on many committees and eventually served on the Board of Directors for Friends of the Gilkey Print Council and the Pacific Northwest College of Art. She was active in the Southwest Hills Residential League, the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, and the Reed College Women’s Committee.

Before Alzheimer’s began to take its toll, Nan lived a full, varied life. As a child, she watched Babe Ruth play for the Yankees, and as a young adult, she attended the Army-McCarthy hearings. She was an avid antiquer and a regular at water aerobics at Multnomah Athletic Club.

She enjoyed spending time with her family at their beach house in Neahkahnie, Oregon. Her younger self liked crabbing and clamming, hiking up Neahkahnie Mountain and spending time on the Nehalem River. Her civic involvement extended to the coast, where she was instrumental in saving the Swamp (aka the Beaver Pond). She read compulsively, especially enjoying crime fiction by Agatha Christie and lesser-known mid-century mystery writers. She also liked The New Yorker, always turning to the cartoons first.

Her husband Peter died in 2012. She is survived by her children Mark (Amy), Matthew (Amali), Martha (Bill Dieter) and Michael (Cathy). She is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Sarah, Leah, John, Lydia, Cleo, Shea, Thea, Griffin, Luke, Claire and Isabel.

The family wishes to thank Nan’s caregivers, especially Kristin Jung, for their kindness and professionalism over the past nine years. A celebration of her life will be held after the new year.

Remembrances can be made to the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund (curealz.org), the Pacific NW College of Art or the Community Transitional School.

Winemakers Share Their Vintages MAC welcomes back vintners and greets new producers in 2020

T

he lights have been taken down, ornaments tucked away, disco balls have stopped spinning and New Year’s resolutions are in full effect. What better way to brush off the post-holiday doldrums than enjoying a MAC wine dinner with friends and fellow members.

This year’s schedule features more of Oregon’s finest, including Domaine Drouhin, Elk Cove, Argyle and Stoller, as well as upand-comers Leah Jorgensen Cellars. Washington is represented

by Abeja, Dunham Cellars and Long Shadows, and Orin Swift joins from Napa Valley. Also not to be missed is an evening in September celebrating French wines and cuisine.

Feb. 20 – Elk Cove Vineyards Pat and Joe Campbell have been producing wine since 1974 at their winery nestled in the foothills of the Coast Mountain Range.

Their son, Adam, joined the family business after graduating from Lewis and Clark College and is now the head winemaker and oversees six vineyard sites with 380 acres planted. Elk Cove’s varietals range from pinot blanc and pinot gris to world renowned pinot noirs and late-harvest riesling. FB220

Each year, Chef Boulot and his team put together a buffet in 1891 that’s fitting of Oregon’s state crustacean, with a menu that includes prime rib, clam chowder, paella, Chef Phil Oswalt’s famous cheesy garlic bread, assorted salads and gourmet desserts.

The cost is $42 per person, non-inclusive.

Additonally, 1891 has the full menu available for those who prefer other options.

Crab sells out every year, so secure reservations early by calling 503-517-6630.

Dungeness crab possesses a sweet, delicate flavor, with leg meat that is firm and white with pinkish tones, and body meat that is delectably flaky. Crab meat is packed with nutrients, such as vitamin B2, selenium, copper and omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve cognition and the overall function of the nervous system and reduce inflammation. It is also full of antioxidants, which can help improve the immune system and is rich in phosphorous, which is crucial for the health of the bones and teeth.

A cautionary tale: Last year, an unnamed member meticulously picked the meat from an entire crab (a good half pound of crab meat). While they returned to the buffet to get cocktail sauce, their dining partners passed the plate around the table, finishing all the freshly picked crab. The moral of the story: Close friends, and even loved ones, cannot be trusted when it comes to Dungeness crab!

Tales of MAC’s honored athletes 7 p.m. Thursday, January 16

W

hen it comes to value, MAC events don’t get much better than the Celebration of Champions. Where else can member go to feast upon food and tales of club inspiration — for free?

For the second year in a row, there’s no cost to attend the club’s annual toast to excellence. Heavy appetizers, dessert and other refreshments add enticement where none is needed. The awarding of the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award and the Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award set the table, and recognition of the club’s national champions leaves spirits high and hunger for MAC pride fully sated.

To pique readers’ appetites, what follows is a taste of the testimonials to club culture, camaraderie and competition awaiting attendees.

Seating is limited. Members and guests must register by Friday, Jan. 10. Casual attire is appropriate. Secure a spot at themac.com.

Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year Award Finalists

Reiko Nitta

Amy Henderson

Kevin Keil

It’s not often that a competitor younger than age 12 is named assistant coach of the team. While the title might not have been official, Synchro head coach Lucie Svrcinova says it was common knowledge. “I discovered her very first year that she can remember everything!” That included changes in choreography, pertinent details of upcoming meets, and even reminding Svrcinova of what she’d committed to in the past, including testing. “So, I started using Reiko as my helper whenever I needed.”

Amy Henderson hit a rough patch just 5 kilometers into the 2018 Kona Ironman Triathlon, and it almost derailed her. Her legs didn’t feel right, and when she was about to take it easy for the rest of the race, some kids started cheering her on. This encouraged her to run.

This past summer at Junior Nationals Championships in Stanford, California, high school senior Kevin Keil qualified for the 2020 Olympic Trials in the 400 IM by dropping more than 6 seconds and winning the B Final, placing ninth overall. He holds 19 team records at MAC.

Once her legs were moving again, she realized that she actually felt pretty good. If she didn’t go hard, she’d have a lot left in the tank at the end of the race. What followed was a dramatic effort to clinch 10th place, and 11th crossed the line just 5 seconds later.

Keil knows many of his competitors in the state and region. At swim meets, if acquaintances and friends aren’t racing in a heat against a MAC teammate, you can hear Keil’s signature cheer cut through the noise of the meet. They return the favor when he races. When he is in a final and they announce the names of all those competing, Keil claps for everyone who is racing.

Synchro

Nitta has won the Oregon Association Championship in figure, solo and team events, as well as becoming regional champion in team, and silver medalist in solo and figure. Nitta qualified both routines to advance to the 2019 Junior Olympics, and finished in fourth place with her solo there, MAC’s best solo result in the 12-and-under age group.

In addition to shining in competition, Svrcinova says Nitta is a key part of team culture and can adapt fast to play whatever role is most needed at meets.

“It was great to see how the team came together as one and worked toward the same goal under Reiko’s leadership. I heard from parents that all swimmers are totally fine being ‘coached’ by Reiko because she is a nice kid, not just the best swimmer we had at this level.”

Triathlon & Running

This testament to the power of support and perseverance are at the heart of Henderson’s story. She began her triathlon journey at age 10, was a director for Stanford’s “Treeathlon” in Spring 2017, and later that year became a founding member of the BATWomen Triathlon group. Its mission is to create, build and support a cohesive, competitive team of high performance female triathletes in Portland.

Swim

“Kevin leads by example. He is always at practice, and he is the most consistent athlete I have ever met, in terms of his effort and his attitude,” says Head Coach Tim Larkin. “He always gives what he has and is happy to be at practice. Through his consistent attendance, effort and attitude, he shows his teammates what it means to be truly dedicated to his sport.”

Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award Finalists

Joanne Seigel

Bruce Reid

“Joanne Siegel has been a huge inspiration for the Climbing program since its inception,” says Drew White, director and head coach. “She climbs regularly, and promotes the sport with her enthusiasm and passion.” Siegel’s daughter, Tori, grew up in the program as a Tiny Tot, and eventually went on to become a nationally ranked athlete and key part of MAC’s team.

Bruce Reid has been bringing his passion for racquetball to MAC players and the entire state since 1997. He’s also managed the impressive feat of getting his own kids to develop a love for their father’s sport! Watching Reid hit drive serves to sons, Sam and Dylan, some MAC players were astonished at the force and speed he would put into it. To which he would reply “Have you seen them not return a serve yet?”

Few names are as synonymous with MAC Walking & Hiking as Laura Foster. Member coach, committee chair, author, speaker, tour guide: she’s served her club community in just about every way imaginable. Her work spearheading the Litter Lifters, a volunteer project that removes trash from the streets of Goose Hollow, has earned her, and MAC, appreciation from the neighborhood, too.

The time and energy Reid spent with his children resulted in his boys becoming some of the top players in the sport.

The reason Reid was nominated for the Joe Loprinzi Award, though, is that he has brought that same level of passion to teaching hundreds of children, tweens and Lincoln High School teens how to improve their games.

“Laura Foster is a resource, even a treasure, exposing people to the greater community, and getting them out for a walk that exercises the mind and body,” notes nominating committee member, Karen Livingstone.

Outdoor

The senior Siegel was an early champion of the Women Who Rock class, which brings female climbers together in the mornings. She was chair of the Outdoor Committee for two years and was instrumental in forming the new Climbing Committee, which she now chairs.

Also serving MAC’s vertical ambitions as the Climbing Booster president, she regularly volunteers at numerous program events at the club and beyond. “The Climbing program, and specifically the team, would not be where it is today without the support, leadership and encouragement from Joanne over the years,” White says.

28 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2020

Racquetball

Reid was the head coach of the Cardinals’ racquetball team for seven years, starting in 2007, and has remained an assistant coach ever since.

He has been a USA Jr. Racquetball board member, and has traveled around the world with young athletes.

In addition to his involvement and victories at the highest levels of the sport, his desire to teach players of all ages the game of racquetball continues to make him an inspiring member of the MAC community and beyond.

Laura Foster Walking & Hiking

Even after retiring from the Walking & Hiking Committee, she continues to lead walks to neighborhoods around Portland, riveting members with her knowledge of local history and architectural nuance. A well-respected author of books about urban walks and scenic hikes, her titles include Walking with Ramona: Exploring Beverly Cleary’s Portland, Columbia Gorge Getaways, and The Portland Stairs Book. She has appeared on OPB’s “Oregon Art Beat” and “Oregon Field Guide” programs.

Masonic Temple/Mark Building

Portland’s Secret Societies 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21

F

The Scottish Rite Temple and the Kenton Masonic building are the only two purposebuilt buildings in Portland that have been in continuous use as fraternal buildings.

While the Masons and Elks are widely recognized organizations, many of the other fraternal groups are not. The Odd Fellows, Modern Women of America, Neighbors of Woodcraft, and the Improved Order of Redmen all built meeting halls that are still standing, albeit repurposed.

rom massive brick edifices to humble wooden structures, fraternal lodges (also known as secret societies) were once a vital part of life in Portland. Between 1890 and 1930, dozens of temples, halls and meeting rooms were built across the city, many of them by the most prominent architects in town.

Portland is fortunate to have many of the best examples of early 20th century fraternal buildings still standing and in use. That so many have survived, and in most cases have been adapted to new uses, is testament to the craftsmanship and commitment both of those who designed them and those for whom they were built.

The fraternal order reached its zenith of popularity in the 1920s, and most of the city’s surviving buildings were constructed during that decade. As membership dwindled for most of the fraternal orders after World War II, many of these buildings were sold or partially abandoned.

32 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2020

Elks Temple/Sentinel Hotel Perhaps the most visible and successful preservation and re-purposing achievement of a former fraternal building is the Mark Building, an annex to the Portland Art Museum. Completed in 1927, in what could be described as a Modernist Classical style, it was home to more than 20 different Masonic lodges for nearly a half century.

Join me this month for a presentation about fraternal organizations and highlights some of Portland’s most historically and architecturally significant surviving buildings.

New Practice. New Location. Same Surgeon.

NOW OPEN IN NW PORTLAND

Dr. Michael M. Kim is a double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who is Princeton-educated and Johns Hopkins-trained with over 10 years of experience. He is a proud native of the Pacific Northwest and has now opened his own private practice in order to craft the best patient experience that Portland has to offer.

Dr. Kim’s surgeries and procedures include: • Rhinoplasty & Revision Rhinoplasty • Facelift • Necklift • Browlift • Eyelid lift • Lip lift • Non-surgical facial injectable treatments

And now introducing EmbraceRF, the latest in minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation. It is comprised of three game-changing technologies called Facetite, Accutite, and Morpheus8 that all use radiofrequency energy to help remodel skin and soft tissue. Facetite and Accutite perform Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) that liquifies fat cells and tightens the connections between the skin and deeper structures. Both are excellent alternatives to surgery for those in the “treatment gap” whose agi aging changes can no longer be sufficiently treated by injectables alone, but do not need or want surgery (such as a facelift or necklift) with its associated scars, downtime, and cost. Morpheus8 is the deepest and most effective radiofrequency microneedling device on the market and can vastly improve fine lines and wrinkles of the face and body. Call us today to schedule a consultation to see if these treatments are right for you.

LITTLE TIME COMMITMENT

New Service Provides Convenient Accountability A

t a glance, MAC Wellness’s most recent offering, Nutrition Intuition, might sound familiar. It’s two half-hour windows a week when busy members can stop in, get weighed, perhaps pick up a few dietary tips, and even tweak their grocery lists.

If that brings to mind other club classes like Fit in 5 and MACronutrients, or certain popular weight-management services that shall not be named, that’s no accident. “We listen to our members, and try to tailor our allocation of MAC’s resources to their needs,” says Wellness Manager Will Cath. “Some people just want accountability without all of the other features of a class such as Fit in 5, and Nutrition Intuition serves that function.”

Dietitian Tysen Christensen says she thinks of it like a “modified subscription service,” where participants can keep only the parts that serve their health and fitness goals. “It’s a lot of bang for your buck,” she says. “Stop in, weigh in, and be on your way. Or, if you have time to dive deeper, I’ll be your guide.”

46 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2020

In addition to weekly nutrition topics and suggestions for intuitive eating, Christensen plans to provide support for participants via email and apps such as MyFitnessPal and Fred Meyer’s Grocery Pickup (formerly ClickList). Kids are welcome to accompany parents, and a private scale allows for personal accountability without perceptions of feeling shamed.

If members already are working with personal trainers or taking group exercise classes, Nutrition Intuition plays nicely with preexisting routines. But for those looking to motivate themselves to take that first step in their fitness journey, it can be a great starting point, Christensen says. “Wherever they’re at, Nutrition Intuition can help. It’s designed to fill in the gaps and get people where they need to go.”

Nutrition Intuition runs 8-8:30 a.m. Mondays and 10-10:30 a.m.

Wednesdays over two sessions, Jan. 6-29 and Feb. 3-26.

Cost is $30 per four-week session.

EATING WELL Hearty Citrus Salad Prep/total time: 10 minutes Serves: 4 Serving Size: 1 cup

Ingredients Salad

GETTY IMAGES

8 ounces burrata cheese, brought to room temperature and torn into pieces 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula and romaine) 2 blood oranges 1 honeybell orange 1 red grapefruit Fig jam (a few dollops) Dressing

Building a Healthy Salad Studies show that preparing lunch and bringing it to work not only saves money, but is also much healthier than restaurant options. Salad is a great meal choice — for lunch and beyond. First order of business is investing in a good salad container or two. Make sure the container is sturdy enough for travel, is leak proof, has a separate container for dressing and is easy to clean. If kids are into making a salad for lunch, let them take ownership and pick their container.

Lettuce: It’s All About the Base

Two Kinds of Protein Not all protein is created equal, so if you include two kinds, you get protein from a variety of sources. Keep the protein portion on the small side, since you’re adding two. The total amount should fit in the palm of your hand. Options include: Beans (chickpeas, kidney beans, edamame), quinoa, nuts (walnuts, almonds), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin), meat or poultry, seafood (tuna, cooked shrimp or salmon), hard-boiled egg, tofu and cheese (a portion of cheese is the size of your thumb).

Be generous here. Lettuce is full of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Pick from mixed greens, spinach or Bibb lettuce, which all travel well. Fans of some extra peppery kick can add some arugula. Don’t forget the herbs. Cilantro, parsley and mint all offer a refreshing burst of flavor!

Extra Extras!

All the Fruits and Veggies

Dressing

Clean out the fridge. Anything goes!

Green beans? Corn? Peas? Broccoli? Yes. Strawberries? Blueberries? Green grapes?

Mandarins? All are welcome.

If you’re planning a salad meal for your family, allow everyone to build their own by adding whatever fruits and vegetables they like to the lettuce base. Encourage, but don’t force, the kiddos to try a little bit of everything.

I try to limit myself to two extras to keep the balance on the healthy side. Portion size is also important when adding the extras. Try: Tortilla chip strips, dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries), extra cheese, croutons, bacon and avocado.

2 ¼ ¼

tablespoons balsamic vinegar cup extra virgin olive oil cup fresh-squeezed lime juice Pinch of salt

Preparation 1. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, squeezed lime and salt. Set aside.

2. Peel and pith (take off white layer) all the citrus and thinly slice.

3. In a large salad bowl, toss greens with half of the vinaigrette. Arrange citrus and burrata on top.

4. Spoon fig jam on top of burrata. Drizzle salad with remaining vinaigrette. Toss just before serving.

Nutritional Information per serving: calories 166; fat 10g; protein 4g; 15g carbohydrates

Variation Use goat cheese in place of burrata and add candied pecans and ½ cup pomegranate seeds. (Nutritional information above does not reflect this change.)

I prefer a homemade dressing. Olive oils are full of good fats, but you still need to be aware of dressing portion size. Roughly two tablespoons are enough for one salad.

When making a creamy dressing, try substituting Greek yogurt or low fat sour cream for a mayonnaise base. Punch up dressings with: Salsa, flavored olive oils, seasoned rice vinegar and seasoning salts.

ATHLETICS

Stu, Rachel, Evie and Sadie Young ew parents still throw their kids into the deep end of the pool to teach them how to swim. Why, then, do parents still hand their children 29-inch tennis rackets, point them toward adult-sized courts, and expect them to be successful?

kids who will love the sport, and will continue playing the game. Some parents are so focused on getting their kids to the next level, but what they should focus on is rallying.

If your kid can have a hundred-ball rally, I don’t care what ball they’re using, that’s amazing.”

That’s the question MAC Head Tennis Coach Paul Reber and other leading industry professionals have been asking themselves for years. “I know myself, and when I get a little better at something, it gives me more confidence. It makes me want to do more of that thing,” Reber says.

When Reber took over MAC’s Tennis program three and a half years ago, it had already begun the journey toward scaling its approach to youth instruction. A range of court configurations cut the area of play down to sizes manageable for a variety of age levels. Four levels of tennis balls bounce to different heights, and tennis racquets start at 19 inches and gradually increase to regulation size as kids grow into them.

“You see some of these kids come in with so little selfconfidence, but if they stick with it, they get better. Our job here is to create tennis players. By helping build confidence and technique at every level of play, we’re shaping

Bounce to this. At MAC, there’s a way for every player to have a ball. Red, orange and green versions each rebound in relation to players’ heights and abilities. Complementary courts keep the rallies going, and build confidence that leads to greater enjoyment and longevity of play. By the time young competitors are ready for standard “yellow ball” action, the world is their court.

ATHLETICS

In addition to cementing the club’s commitment to this progressive path, Reber shrank class sizes to improve instructor-tostudent ratio. He standardized the schedule for age/ability level classes, decreasing competition between coaches for students, and worked to enforce prerequisites in an effort to ensure the strongest players get opportunities to help them grow. For instance, Tournament Competition Camp now prioritizes athletes who’ve actually played in tourneys.

He also made it his business to bring on the kinds of coaches that he knew would encourage retention and inspire the kind of trust in parents and kids necessary to see the growth he envisioned. “Hands down, the first reason that kids keep coming back is because they like the coach,” he says.

“The second reason is because they either like the sport, or because their friends do it. If they’re thinking, ‘I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now’ when they’re practicing, they’ll come back tomorrow with a smile on their face, and probably get a little better at this game.”

Talk to Stu, Sadie and Evie Young, and you’ll hear Paul’s principles echoing from their mouths. All three are part of the tennis progression that moves kids from red- to orange- to green- to yellow-ball play, Reber says the Youngs are a great example of what happens when families trust in MAC’s system and work with coaches to ensure impressionable players are improving at the right clip.

JANUARY 2020

“I feel like I’ve become a better tennis player,” says 11-year-old Stu. “I’ve gone through red and orange ball, and now I’m at green ball, and I feel like this is exactly what they’re supposed to do. They prepare you for the next stage.”

“I feel more connected through tennis here,” his twin sister Sadie says. “I’ve played a few other places, and when I think of playing tennis, I think of playing it here.

They’ve given me the opportunity to get better, and I like how easily you can see your improvement.”

While Stu and Sadie are both at the green-ball level, which means playing on a full-sized court, 8-year-old Evie is still working her way through the orange-ball classes. “I was excited to move up a level from red ball,” she says. Her mom, Rachel, adds that by the time kids are ready for the next tier of play, they’ve grown so confident in their ability at the previous tier that it can seem like old hat. “Moving at the pace Coach Paul recommends definitely helps them get their strokes down well.

The technical side of hitting the ball at a slightly slower pace really sets them up for long-term success.”

“Tennis is a very fun sport,” Evie says.

“When you start learning when you’re younger, it’s easier when you’re a little bit older.”

Stu adds, “I really like seeing the ball go where I want it; hitting a great, hard serve, and then being ready for when it comes back. It’s like tennis flows with me, flows through me, and I just keep going with it.

I feel like playing more tennis!”

The only way to get these precocious kids to stop talking about their love of the game is to ask them, “Who is your favorite coach?” That causes the kind of mental gear grinding one might see in children asked to pick a favorite parent.

They love Marco Piñeda for his caring and enthusiasm, Waldemar Holowetzki for pushing them to be their best, Maureen Harwood for her sense of humor and ability to make constructive criticism fun. Tato Zedginidze’s hug-tempered discipline, and Carol Sandoz’s kindness and attention to technique don’t go unnoticed, either.

All of them appreciate the new opportunities Reber has brought to the program, especially Stu and Sadie, who are thankful for the tournaments and other chances to improve, show off what they’ve learned, and occasionally face next-level opponents.

“In my opinion, there is no substitute for good technique,” Reber says. “I don’t care what level of tennis player you are. If you are going to play this game for a long time and hit a lot of balls, you better have good technique or your body is going to break down.”

Aside from setting kids up for future success, he adds that working the multicolored ball system MAC has in place is a great way to have fun as a family. “If you use the correct size court and ball, parents can hit with children of any age, and it can be fun for everyone. If you want a sport that you can all do together, tennis is a great one, and you can do it anywhere.” WM

Coaches Corner: The Mental Tennis Game

Pre-Match Silence Find a quiet place to be alone and contemplate for at least 10 minutes before you go on court. Sit and relax, close your eyes and clear your mind. Start thinking about a game plan and how you would like to start the match.

Tennis is a game that involves many factors beyond simply moving and striking the ball. The mental side of the game is often neglected, but is an important part of becoming a better player.

Elevate your game to another level by releasing the power of the mind using these techniques:

Visualization Visualization is the ability to create events or happenings in your mind. Every tennis player should do visualization exercises prior to a match — visualize that you are going to play the best tennis match you’ve ever played. Top players have reported visualizing an entire match prior to stepping foot on the court.

Control Your Body Language

chatting it up on change overs. Save the talking with friends for after the match.

Relaxation

Mental strength is a crucial attribute of successful tennis players. It is the ability to focus on every single point in the match regardless of what is going on around the court. Great physical conditioning will not matter much if mental skills are weak and a player crumbles under pressure each time.

Nervousness and anxiety are common emotions every player feels before a match. They typically come up when you care a lot about the result. Therefore, relaxation techniques are very important to minimize negative emotions before and during a match. Try scanning your body and observing any tightness. If your shoulders are up eating your ears, drop them and feel the tension leave as the muscles relax.

Listening to your favorite music prior to a match can also help with mind relaxation.

When the mind and body are relaxed, best performances usually follow.

Stay focused in practices to play every point to the best of your ability. Remember, it is not about winning every point, but rather playing a solid, well-constructed point each time. Practice as though you were playing. If you don’t talk to your opponents in a league match, practice not

Mental training also involves learning how to control your body. Players should always remember to take deep breaths while focusing on the inhale and exhale. Feel the rhythm of the air going in and out. The rhythm should help settle your mind down if it is racing too fast.

Mental Strength/Focus

Body language and body posture reflects any player’s mental and physical condition.

Proper posture will tell an opponent that you are strong and tough enough to defeat them.

Mistake Management Every player makes mistakes, but a great player converts every mistake into an opportunity to improve their game plan.

This means being able to recognize if your game plan is not working and adjust accordingly; being mentally alert to analyze the situation and coming up with the right counter attack.

—Coach Maureen Harwood

Corrections: The November and December editions of The Winged M incorrectly identified Ken Bennet as the captain of MAC’s 8.0 men’s team. David Bennett and Jim Miller were co-captains of the team, which competed in the finals of the USTA 65+ Sectional Championships in Sunriver.

Take a Swing at Pickleball It looks a little like tennis, mixed with some ping pong and a dash of badminton.

Pickleball might be the fastest-growing sport in the nation, with giant pickleball complexes springing up in some cities.

Pickleball is easy to learn, easy on the body, and when people try it and find early success, it makes them want to return to the court. That said, pickleball can also be a highly competitive and extremely rigorous sport if played with strategy.

The game surface is about two thirds the size of a tennis court. Players use paddles and Wiffle balls, which don’t travel as far or bounce as high as a tennis ball, so there’s not as much retrieving or running.

While some athletes choose pickleball due to its lower impact, the social interaction element might be as appealing as the game itself. The court size facilitates conversation during games. And, since every game lasts about 15 minutes, there’s a constant player turnover. A lot of new friendships develop on the pickleball court.

Pickeball is fun at any age. Come learn what the pickleball buzz is all about!

Breaking Out at MAC Hip hop and breakdancing pump fresh blood into dance program

By Jake Ten Pas

S

tars, stripes, swooshes and springing pumas – sneaker logos are symbols of motion, and tonight they explode across the floor of Studio One. Flat-soled athletic, leisure and skateboard shoes make for the best breaking gear because they allow the dancer to stop, pivot, turn and, if they’re smooth enough, slide.

It’s a far cry from the old-school dress code that used to define MAC dance classes — when all club dancers had to, at the very least, wear tight black pants, blue shirts and black jazz shoes.

“You can’t get funky in those clothes,” says hip hop instructor Melissa Nornes. “I can’t. I don’t know how anyone can. The bending of the knees, the attitude, the posture is a lot different, and if you don’t change your clothes between jazz and hip hop class, you’re just not going to be in the right mood. If I’m not wearing the right clothes or shoes, it doesn’t feel right.”

For those not versed in the intricacies of dance terminology, the differences between hip hop – spelled without the hyphen in dance circles –—and breaking might not be immediately apparent. Rest assured, though, they are very different disciplines. Muddying the waters is the fact that “Hip-Hop” as a cultural movement is often said to have four primary pillars: Rapping or MCing, DJing, graffiti and B-boying, otherwise known as breakdancing.

Confused yet? Fortunately, MAC has instructors so steeped in the traditions of dance and music alike that they can help offer clarity. Before stepping to club classes, keep reading to learn more about how these relatively recent forms have changed not only MAC, but the world of dance as a whole.

Continued from page 58

Break on Through Who’s the man? When it comes to B-boying at MAC, his name is Cameron Dupon. Seven years ago, he joined the club’s dance department, inheriting a fledgling program primed for growth.

“I was thinking, ‘How would a breakdancing program work here at MAC, what could it look like, and how might it be accepted?” he recalls. “After meeting with a lot of the parents and students, my feeling was, ‘This is something that’s needed here!’”

“A lot of times, you see the narrative that ‘Hip-Hop can change lives for students of color and people who are disenfranchised,’ but it can actually help students who have so-called ‘good upbringings’ or are ‘privileged’ or whatever. Breakdancing is universal!”

Dupon says he’s found MAC families to be very accepting of his background as a performer and somewhat unconventional teaching style. This is backed up by increasing enrollment in breakdancing

60 | The Wınged M |

JANUARY 2020

classes, which has in turn led to additional offerings. “It went from two classes to four, one teacher expanded to two teachers, and I’m hoping we can take it even further,” Dupon says.

Nornes was here when the first MAC breakdancing class was offered, and explains that it expanded club offerings in a very specific and important way. “We could not get boys to dance here! So, at first Laura Haney decided breakdancing should be a boys-only class, and it became insanely popular. When Cameron came, it got better because he was more involved.

He decided we needed to split it up and offer different levels, because by that point, we had so many guys.”

Every summer, Nornes teams up with Dupon to teach hip hop and breaking together, and that merging of classes has not only helped to grow enrollment, but also created crossover between the two disciplines and beyond. “The classes have grown immensely in size. Right now, there’s a cap of around 30 kids in my hip hop class, but we always have 35 or 40 for

At this point in time, it’s difficult to separate Hip-Hop and mainstream culture, the two have become so intertwined.

Watch a Blazers game, and you’ll see moves employed by their dancers. Top-40 charts are filled with rap music, every level of fashion bears its influence, and even pop country artists employ drum machines, auto tune and guest MCs when they want to get a crossover hit.

Similarly, in the 14-plus years since the reality TV competitions “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance” debuted, the art form as a whole has re-entered the popular consciousness in a way it might not have been present since Dance Fever went off the air in 1987.

“This year is the first time a B-boy won “So You Think You Can Dance.” He had no other training, but the choreographers just took him under their wing. He was so strong at what he does, and so gifted with his breakdancing moves,” Nornes says, referring to show’s champion, Bailey Muñoz.

“When I first started at MAC, those shows were only a couple of seasons in, so it wasn’t as ubiquitous,” Nornes says.

“Now, everybody’s seen them, everybody knows about dancing, and people aren’t as afraid of it as they might have been.

They’re like, ‘I want to try that!’”

As lines between underground and mainstream, fine art and primetime have blurred, so have dance styles.

Contemporary dance, Nornes points out, is loosely a combination of ballet and jazz.

“People started doing that with hip hop, too, mixing in lyrical dance to create lyrical hip hop.” Even so, she says there are important distinctions between hip hop and breakdancing.

ATHLETICS

Hip hop dance evolved out of jazz and funk styles, as well as borrowing the attitude from popping and locking and other street styles of the 70s and 80s. At its heart, though, it maintains a connection to classical traditions, approaches and choreography. Hip hop dance also can be done to just about any kind of music, despite its name.

Much like the rap freestyle, or improvised lyrical flows, breakdancing is built upon the base of in-the-moment invention.

B-boys use the energy of previous movements, react to changing rhythms, and channel personal styles into something that is fresh and unpredictable every time.

“Cameron would never want to teach a hip hop class, and I would never want to teach a breakdancing class because they’re each so specialized,” Nornes says. “But we do a lot of performing for each other as teachers and classes, because we each have something to learn from the other style.”

“If you mess up, you might be able to make a move from that mistake. It’s a unique style that allows you fall into another movement and create this whole new thing.”

Dupon believes that breakdancing is valuable for any student of the larger art form, and particularly those interested in choreography. “It is going to add to their overall dynamic style when it comes to movement, and set them up for success on the stage.”

Speaking of, he says that his ultimate goal with MAC’s program is to not only expand it in terms of club offerings, but also in regards to performance opportunities for his students. “Our Crew-level dancers will travel out to local events and compete in those competitions, or just jump into circles, or cyphers. We have our

ears to the ground for any competitions coming to the Portland or Washington area. But we also want to go to California and see the street teams in Venice or travel to New York for the Rock Steady Crew anniversaries they have every year.”

“Dancing is a language, and breakdancing has its regional dialects. We’d love to travel nationally, learn more and represent the club, but that’s the next level.”

For now, he’s happy with what he’s helped to build at MAC, and looks forward to continuing to work with Nornes and other teachers and students to expand perceptions — and practice — of what breaking can be. “Breakdancing is one of those styles that allows the individual and group of dancers to be really creative. As much as it’s been influenced, it’s influencing other styles of dance, as well. The future is wide open.” WM

Wild Style

Much like Hip-Hop music, B-boying is more than just the sum of its parts. Its synthesis of other styles has given birth to a vocabulary of moves all its own, and perhaps even a philosophy. “With ballet, you have a set foundation, and if you break from that foundation, you’re not doing ballet anymore. Whereas in breakdancing, you get rewarded for being original and doing moves that are not necessarily on track with what everybody else is doing,” Dupon says.

TIM GUNTHER

“The thing about breakdancing is that it’s been influenced by almost every other type of dance,” Dupon explains. “There’s ballet, contemporary, gymnastics, and even moves lifted from karate movies.

Nowadays, we’re seeing the flip side of that, with other forms of movement and dance incorporating breaking influences.

Gymnastics recently started accepting the air flare, which is a move that was created in breakdancing.”

Dancing Through the Year The MAC Company has been extremely busy since its season began in September.

The dancers spent most of the fall preparing their competition dances and rehearsing for their annual performance of selected variations from The Nutcracker, which they performed both at MAC’s Holiday Open House and the Providence Foundation’s Annual Festival of Trees.

Additional dance routines were performed in December at a Family Friday and the Children’s Holiday Party Dancers also participated in team building through volunteering efforts and group outings in the fall. The Main Company spent an afternoon helping a charity prepare 40,000 meals that were distributed to families recovering from the hurricane in the Bahamas. The Junior Company gave back to the MAC community by assembling adorable giveaways that were handed out to children at the Holiday Open House.

The Company attended dance shows as a team, including In the Heights and the Hip Hop Nutcracker and dancers enjoyed a holiday party to celebrate all of their hard work and contributions to MAC and the community.

MAC and Handball Lose a Star Longtime MAC member Chatten Hayes passed away Oct. 21, 2019, following a heroic battle with ovarian cancer. She was 59.

A native Oregonian, Hayes was a world citizen, with a special love for Italy and Ireland. After graduating from Portland State in 1982, she shared her enthusiasm for life with all who met her, including her husband of 30 years, David Steinberg. She adopted his chosen sport of competitive handball and became a leading figure in the national and world handball scenes.

Together they led the Pacific University handball team to four straight national championships between 2016 and 2019.

She is survived by her life partner, Steinberg. A celebration of her life is scheduled for January. Remembrances in her honor may be shared with the Chatten S. Hayes Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation.

2019 Team Decathlon Fall event brought record level of participation Seventy-eight members formed 21 teams to compete in the largest ever Team Decathlon, held Oct. 14-21. New event rules, which allow up to five members per team and only require each team member to do a single event, paid big dividends by attracting a record number of members.

First place went to Queen Q, the wife and husband team of Laura and Matthew Randall, with 8,840 points. The Randalls didn’t waste any time getting involved at the club. They signed up for the competition on the third day of their MAC membership.

The Lairson Five and Joint Venture both racked up 8,823 points to tie for second place. Ed, Joe, Jack, Andrea and Emma Lairson competed in the family category for the second year in row and have firmly established the Team Decathlon as a family friendly event. Joint Venture’s Spencer Raymond and Dan Drinkward work for competing construction firms but teamed up to garner great scores.

A team made up of veteran decathlete Janet Schroer and friends Karen and Maddie Olson and Emily Sheldon came in fourth with 7,790 points. Olson and Sheldon were tempted to both do the free

Squats: Technique Matters!

A squat utilizes ankles, legs, hips and buttocks to lower our bodies closer to earth in a safe way. This is called grounding. Our spine is designed, metaphorically, to lengthen toward the sky to hold us up.

Combining grounding with lengthening is the key to executing a good squat.

Squats are considered one of the more functional exercises to incorporate into an exercise routine — we sit and stand multiple times each day. Proper form in a squat utilizes all the lower body muscles.

Improper form can load the knees.

As the knees bend, keep them in line with your feet and avoid moving the knees forward (Photo A).

Hinge at the hip sending your buttocks back first as if you are sitting in an imaginary chair. Your weight should be in your heels with knees over shoelaces/ heels and trunk upright. This can present a balance challenge for many, so holding on to a secure anchor is recommended. Or send your arms forward to counter balance (Photo B).

A

B

C

D

To protect the low back, avoid overarching (Photo C). Instead, contract the very low abdominal wall by gently pulling in the groin muscles to put the pelvis in a neutral position. Use a wooden dowel or golf club to position the spine correctly (Photo D).

Standing up correctly from a squat is also important. Press through your heels, engaging the buttock muscles, and lift to stand up using your hips. As you gain more strength, try using just one leg. To add more balance work, stand on a BOSU half ball to practice squats.

For more ideas and a technique check, consider hiring a Personal Trainer for the new year!

3. Improved flexibility The strength part of Pilates’ “stretch and strength” equation helps maintain physical integrity and alignment as you stretch muscles and increases the range of motion in a joint. Improving flexibility will significantly enhance performance in other physical activities, as well as daily life, and can also help reduce the risk of injury.

Using springs on the Reformer and your own body weight as resistance may appear easier than other forms of exercise, but you actually work harder and more deeply through the muscles.

4. Improved posture

Five Reasons to Make a Reformer Workshop a New Year’s Resolution It’s either raining (or snowing) and cold outside. Winter in the Pacific Northwest can make outdoor activities brutal, which makes it an ideal time to start an indoor exercise regimen such as the Pilates Reformer. Pilates is a mind-body training program that focuses on core stability, posture, flexibility, strength, breathing and movement control.

Here are five reasons why taking a Pilates Reformer workshop can enhance a healthy New Year routine:

1. Mindfulness

2. Core activation

Mindfulness and breathing when exercising are essential parts of Pilates. There are no careless moments in Pilates, it’s an intelligent form of body conditioning. So, rather than diverting your attention, you focus your mind and breath on the task at hand, directing your body through the exercises, performing a complete mental and physical workout.

Each exercise engages the core abdominal muscles, emphasizing the strengthening of the “powerhouse” region: abdomen, back, lower back, inner/outer thighs and buttocks. Strength is achieved through stabilization with a focus on movement and functionality. Pilates concentrates on lengthening, strengthening and toning the body, without adding bulk to muscles.

Pilates not only helps to correct postural problems, but it also promotes changes in habitual posture patterns by enhancing spinal, scapular and joint flexibility, and strengthening shoulders, lower back and abdominal musculature.

5. A full-body workout Pilates helps you gain control of your entire body. The repetition of the exercises in a mindful way gradually allows for greater overall muscle functionality.

The principles behind Pilates’ approach to physical and mental fitness are attainable for all ages, shapes and fitness levels.

Incorporating Pilates into an exercise routine brings improvement to sports (recreational or at the elite level) as well as everyday activities.

Exercise and Cancer Cancer is a life-changing event.

However, one of those changes does not need to be one’s exercise program. And for those who may have been inactive, a new fitness program can be a positive addition. MAC has an amazing resource for those with a new or existing cancer diagnosis: Nancy Petit, who shares her thoughts and approach to exercise and cancer.

A Super Power Exercise not only helps survivors gain muscle balance from possible imbalances caused by surgeries, but can minimize side effects from chemotherapy and radiation and is being shown to help ward off the reoccurrence of the disease.

Exercise is also prescribed by doctors as a way of helping with the stress of dealing with the diagnosis. Exercise is something the survivor is in control of! Exercise can:

embers of the Polar Bears, the men’s recreational water sports group formed in 1950, pose for a frigid photo with honorary Polar Bear “Queen” Maureen Murphy, on Jan. 1, 1957. Prior to the photo, approximately 30 members of the group completed their annual New Year’s Day swim in the Willamette River.

At her left: Dick Kathrens, Dick Devers. Standing from left: Gordon Nelson, “King Bear” John Collins,

George Bethel, Bill Sherman, Jack Pobochenko, Dick Allen, F.R. “Goggles” Gerber, Jim Hicks, Homer Groening and Dave Pugh.

Maureen Murphy joined the MAC Swim Team in 1951. She won the 200-yard Backstroke title at the national AAU Women’s Senior Indoor Championships in 1955, and placed fifth in the 100-meter Backstroke at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.

She passed away in January 2019.
